About meTransplanted the family from south Texas to Auckland in 2003. In 2011, we moved from the city to 15 acres in rural Far North New Zealand. I read, I garden, I spend time with my dog Thor, and I watch some TV with DH (mostly detective shows and political humor).
Reading in 2016: At least 75 books from TBR (currently weighing in at 4,768 volumes), fitting TIOLI challenges, guided by AlphaKIT, GeoCAT, and RandomCAT.
About my libraryI am trying to list every book I remember reading, whether I owned it or not. I've also started trying to tag books with the year I read them.
My rating scale is based on a 10-point system. Every book starts at 5. I then add or subtract points given my impression of the premise, the plot, character development, my emotional involvement, and writing. Sometimes I feel like I'm suffering from ratings creep of some sort. I have to remind myself that the whole idea of constructing a TBR list from award winners and nominees is to avoid reading bad books.


Mediation is now recognised as one of the fastest and most cost effective methods of settling disputes.
Going to trial is expensive and stressful, often taking months or years of costly litigation with no guarantee of an outcome that satisfies the parties when you get there. Mediation is often cheaper and quicker, and can be used when opposing parties want to find a workable solution, yet for some reason cannot reach a settlement.
Most people involved in a dispute would rather reach a settlement than go to trial. The process brings together opposing parties and their advisors and replaces adversarial confrontation with principled negotiation and the object of finding a workable agreement between the parties thereby avoiding recourse to the Courts.
The benefits of reaching an agreement through mediation are often very significant in both financial and personal terms. Mediation is entirely private and can help avoid unwelcome publicity. Any settlement reached does not set a precedent for similar disputes in the future. Parties are now being encouraged into mediation by the Courts which often prevent the parties pursuing litigation.
Jeremy Kleinfeld is accredited as a mediator by CEDR, one of the UK's leading training and mediation providers. DKLM can offer mediation services in their own right as well as advising clients who are involved in litigation and wish to use mediation as a method of resolving their dispute.
Our experience shows that matters which are mediated stand more than a 75% prospect of being resolved thus avoiding the time, trouble, inconvenience, risk and expense of litigation.


Born in Faro, Portugal. Studied at IST where I got my BSc in Information Systems and Computer Engineering. I undertook a MSc in Advanced Computing and a PhD in Computing at the Department of Computing in Imperial College supervised by Philippa Gardner. I am currently a PostDoc in the Program Specification and Verification Group, headed by Philippa Gardner.
The specification of a concurrent program module, and the verification of implementations and clients with respect to such a specification, are dicult problems. A specification should be general enough that any reasonable implementation satisfies it, yet precise enough that it can be used by any reasonable client. We survey a range of techniques for specifying concurrent modules, using the example of a counter module to illustrate the benefits and limitations of each. In particular, we highlight four key concepts underpinning these techniques: auxiliary state, interference abstraction, resource ownership and atomicity. We demonstrate how these concepts can be combined to achieve two powerful approaches for specifying concurrent modules and verifying implementations and clients, which remove the limitations highlighted by the counter example.
Pedro da Rocha Pinto. Reasoning with Time and Data Abstractions. PhD thesis, Imperial College London, 2016.
In this thesis, we address the problem of verifying the functional correctness of concurrent programs, with emphasis on fine-grained concurrent data structures. Reasoning about such programs is challenging since data can be concurrently accessed by multiple threads: the reasoning must account for the interference between threads, which is often subtle. To reason about interference, concurrent operations should either be at distinct times or on distinct data.
We present TaDA, a sound program logic for verifying clients and implementations that use abstract specifications that incorporate both abstract atomicity—the abstraction that operations take effect at a single, discrete instant in time—and abstract disjointness—the abstraction that operations act on distinct data resources. Our key contribution is the introduction of atomic triples, which offer an expressive approach for specifying program modules.
We also present Total-TaDA, a sound extension of TaDA with which we can verify total correctness of concurrent programs, i.e. that such programs both produce the correct result and terminate. With Total-TaDA, we can specify constraints on a thread's concurrent environment that are necessary to guarantee termination. This allows us to verify total correctness for nonblocking algorithms and express lock- and wait-freedom. More generally, the abstract specifications can express that one operation cannot impede the progress of another, a new non-blocking property that we call non-impedance.
Finally, we describe how to extend TaDA for proving abstract atomicity for data structures that make use of helping—where one thread is performing an abstract operation on behalf of another—and speculation—where an abstract operation is determined by future behaviour.
We present Total-TaDA, a program logic for verifying the total correctness of concurrent programs: that such programs both terminate and produce the correct result. With Total-TaDA, we can specify constraints on a thread's concurrent environment that are necessary to guarantee termination. This allows us to verify total correctness for non-blocking algorithms, e.g. a counter and a stack. Our specifications can express lock- and wait-freedom. More generally, they can express that one operation cannot impede the progress of another, a new non-blocking property we call non-impedance. Moreover, our approach is modular. We can verify the operations of a module independently, and build up modules on top of each other.
The specification of a concurrent program module is a difficult problem. The specifications must be strong enough to enable reasoning about the intended clients without reference to the underlying module implementation. We survey a range of verification techniques for specifying concurrent modules, in particular highlighting four key concepts: auxiliary state, interference abstraction, resource ownership and atomicity. We show how these concepts combine to provide powerful approaches to specifying concurrent modules.
To avoid data races, concurrent operations should either be at distinct times or on distinct data. Atomicity is the abstraction that an operation takes effect at a single, discrete instant in time, with linearisability being a well-known correctness condition which asserts that concurrent operations appear to behave atomically. Disjointness is the abstraction that operations act on distinct data resource, with concurrent separation logics enabling reasoning about threads that appear to operate independently on disjoint resources.
We present TaDA, a program logic that combines the benefits of abstract atomicity and abstract disjointness. Our key contribution is the introduction of atomic triples, which offer an expressive approach to specifying program modules. By building up examples, we show that TaDA supports elegant modular reasoning in a way that was not previously possible.
Indexes are ubiquitous. Examples include associative arrays, dictionaries, maps and hashes used in applications such as databases, file systems and dynamic languages. Abstractly, a sequential index can be viewed as a partial function from keys to values. Values can be queried by their keys, and the index can be mutated by adding or removing mappings. Whilst appealingly simple, this abstract specification is in sufficient for reasoning about indexes that are accessed concurrently.
We present an abstract specification for concurrent indexes. We verify several representative concurrent client applications using our specification, demonstrating that clients can reason abstractly without having to consider specific underlying implementations. Our specification would, however, mean nothing if it were not satisfied by standard implementations of concurrent indexes. We verify that our specification is satisfied by algorithms based on linked lists, hash tables and B-Link trees. The complexity of these algorithms, in particular the B-Link tree algorithm, can be completely hidden from the client's view by our abstract specification.
Pedro da Rocha Pinto, Thomas Dinsdale-Young, Philippa Gardner, and Mark Wheelhouse. Abstract Reasoning for Concurrent Indexes. In Proceedings of Verification of Concurrent Data Structures, 2011.
Pedro da Rocha Pinto. Reasoning about Concurrent Indexes. Master's thesis, Imperial College London, 2010.
Index data structures such as B+ trees and hash tables are used widely as the core of databases and file systems. In a world where concurrent systems are common as servers and largely increasing as personal computers, we need a way to make sure concurrent implementations do not contain bugs. We use the fact that multiple implementations share a common high-level specification and use concurrent abstract predicates to prove that an implementation satisfies such a specification. This approach allows us to reuse the abstract specification and enables high-level reasoning independent from the low-level implementation.


Following the terrific word-of-mouth from exclusive private screenings in the US, Paramount Pictures has unveiled the main poster artwork for the highly anticipated horror thriller, mother!
Check out the new one-sheet below and watch mother! in Philippine cinemas September 20.
In the film, Mother (Jennifer Lawrence) and Him (Javier Bardem) live in a seemingly idyllic existence in a secluded paradise. But the couple's relationship is tested when man (Ed Harris) and woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) arrive at their home uninvited. Answering that knock disrupts their tranquil existence and as more and more guests arrive, mother is forced to revisit everything she knows about love, devotion and sacrifice.
Paramount Pictures presents a Protozoa Production of a film by Academy Award® nominated director, Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream): Academy Award® winning actress Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) and Academy Award® winning actor Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men) in "mother!" co-starring Academy Award® nominee Ed Harris (The Truman show) and Academy Award® nominee Michelle Pfeiffer (The Fabulous Baker Boys).
mother! is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.

268. Grateful for the little hummers visiting me today.
269. For the little feet.
270. For the amazing wings.
271. For glints of iridescent red.
272. For the Creator God who designed these little hovercraft and that they always show up when I need to remember Love. They are God's laughing "Yes!" to me.
273. Now back from an emergency trip to be with my parents in Texas, I am so grateful that my dad is doing better after being in the hospital!
While in Boston, one of the many places I lived was in a lovely old building in a long-standing Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. Originally, the apartment complex was occupied by Jewish families who needed to live within walking distance of the near-by synagogue since cars were not used on the Sabbath. Ownership of the building had shifted over the years and it now houses mostly students, but a remnant of its past and location remains: many of the apartment doors still have a mezuzah affixed to the frame.
An example, mine was not as ornate.
I didn't notice mine until after I moved in–it was so painted over, the four inch long tube was almost lost against the frame. But one day, I saw it and knew instantly was it was–the Hebrew letter shin (short for shaddai, or Lord) just slightly raised on its small surface like braile.
With care, I removed it, cleaned off the decades of paint, and replaced it. The shining metal was now a visible reminder to pray every time I walked through the door. It was a particularly difficult and lonely season of my life, and my sense of God's presence was next to nothing.
I made a point of touching the mezuzah, as is the Jewish custom, whenever I passed it. It became for me a visual anchor, reminding me of God's presence through the ages–a connection, a quiet memory, a way through, a path forward, a blessing.
like G-d's voice to Elijah.
across years and many lives and cosmos.
Are You still there? I miss You.


On December 2nd, shoppers from coast to coast will finish digesting their leftover turkey dinners in front of a screen while they take advantage of Cyber Monday. Not unlike Black Friday or Boxing Day, it's a race against the clock to snap up the best deals on hot goods. Cyber Monday was created to be the digital counterpart to Black Friday and persists despite the latter's spread to the realm of e-commerce.
Big box stores and small retailers should both benefit from these national blow-out sales, but in reality, large corporate chains reap most of the gains. Though many are still inclined to buy from big box stores, there is a cultural backlash against the "Wal-Mart Effect". Increasingly, consumers are trying to reclaim their loyalty to 'main street' shops. In an effort to promote the Shop Small movement, American Express founded Small Business Saturday. This Saturday, November 30th, will mark the celebration of small businesses that are the cornerstones of neighborhoods and communities.
In Montreal, Canada, there is a plethora of independent stores that offer an alternative to big-box shopping. Général 54, located at 5145 St Laurent Boulevard, is a great example of shopping "small" and supporting local artisans. They exclusively sell products from Montreal designers and other Canadian companies; absolutely nothing is made overseas. From all-natural and paraben-free cosmetics, to ethically produced apparel, General 54 is committed to eco-friendly and fair buying.
Although major players like Amazon pose a looming threat, brick-and-mortar stores can still thrive during changing times by bringing together the right technology with great customer service. Stores like Général 54 are maintaining the authenticity of their independent essence while using the same caliber of POS system as some of the bigger chain stores. The overwhelming majority of LightSpeed's customers are small businesses, and the aim is to provide the right equipment that allows them to realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
Independent boutiques like Général 54 are at the heart of vibrant communities. Their flourishing existence is integral to local economic growth, and initiatives such as the Shop Small movement are a great way to help promote them. Whether you're in America or elsewhere, Small Business Saturday should be a reminder to share your business with the little guys.

Loyalty reward programmes can have a massive impact, delivering all-important ROI with even a small increase in customer retention – in fact, as little as 2% of a boost to your retention numbers has the same effect as decreasing costs by 10%. Scroll down to find out more.


Pharmacogenetics deals with the differences in effect of drugs caused by genetic variation. Differences can occur in therapeutic effect and in adverse events.
Genetic variation in metabolism may result in high concentrations of drugs and an increased risk of adverse effects in slow metabolizers, which is important when using for example antidepressants or chemotherapy.
Genetic variation also occurs in proteins interacting with drugs, which may change the effect of e.g. asthma drugs and antipsychotics. Personalized medicine is the use of pharmacogenetics to understand how an individual can benefit from specific drugs.


At Head Start Electrical we take time to assist the client in the important electrical renovation decisions; we have 30 years experience in planning a home's electrical design and functionality.
Very Important: Make sure you give the electrician plenty of notice when the builder and or other trades are moving things to allow access for rewiring. e.g. When the roof is removed it is a critical time for wiring to be installed.
Make a list of all your electrical appliances and where they will be located so that you will be ready when the electrician needs to plan your electrical lay out.
Think about how many extra power points you will need in each room so you won't be disappointed after the job is complete.
Decide if you want to include home automation in your renovation. E.g. lighting, electric blinds, alarms.
Think about your lighting plan and the number and type of lights you want, for example wall lights to highlight paintings etc.
Which lights do you want to keep and reuse?
Ask the electrician about the green energy lighting and how it is different.
THINK ABOUT and RESEARCH your light fittings so you don't have to buy in a panic and not be happy with your purchase.
Consider your switches and power points. There are many colours and styles to match paintwork and décor, ask your electrician for a catalogue.
The electrician can supply the general lights but any decorative or display lighting you should choose.
BUY GOOD QUALITY light fittings…Ask your electrician for advice.
Consult your electrician early in the planning stage.
Head Start Electrical will be happy to plan and complete the electrical installation in your renovation.

There are always plenty of options for great shows, parties, events etc on any given weekend in Austin. This Saturday the 15th is no exception but if you're not at Barbarella for Glitoris' anniversary bash then you will most assuredly be missing out. It's hard to believe it's only been a year that Glitoris has been on the scene producing some of the most fun, wild and debaucherous parties in the city. Through a mix of social-media brilliance, and an ear to the pulsing ground of electronic music Glitoris turned Tuesday night into one of the best party nights in Austin. Their Tuezgayz event turned Barbarella into a downtown destination. Don't believe me? Just ask Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson where they party on a Tuesday in Austin.
The whole thing will kick off at 10pm this Saturday the 15th. Arriving before 12:30am gets you admission with no cover, after that it's $3. If you get there before 11pm then you can get all the well liquor that's legal to sell you at $2 a drink. There will be a specialty drink in honor of the Glitoris made with Grapfruit Izzie, just ask for "the Glit". For those of you who wanna roll with me and the rest of the VIP's you can enter for a chance to win a wristband, which will gain you access to Barbarella's 2nd floor. Just head over to RSVP It and enter the code: 6969 (of course). Winners will be notified on the day of the party regarding their VIP status. Don't worry, there's no dancefloor in the loft area so we can still get down on the dancefloor with or without a wristband and/or shirt.
Just for the record, as of the writing of this post 252 people RSVP'd on the Facebook event page indicating that this party is going to be wall to wall people dancing, sweating and generally spilling their drinks. I, for one, can not wait! This Tuezgayz promo video should give you a little taste of the kind of music/atmosphere you can expect from a Glitoris event.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention it's best to assume you're going to have beautiful photos taken so I'd dress accordingly. I happen to know that Austin's best party photographer, ULoveI will be attendance, camera in hand. For me that means I'll probably have to buy a new shirt since I think he's photographed me in all of my best one's already. What? I'm self-conscious about stuff like that!


Everyone always says life is about the journey, not the destination. But I think Zoraida Cordova would argue that both can be pretty awesome. Not only is every step of this journey - from Brooklyn to the underworld (aka Los Lagos) and back again- brimming with lush detail, wild twists and turns, and witchy goodness, but the realizations and resolutions our heroes come to are heartfelt and satisfying. Family, heritage, love, power, and sacrifice all have their part to play in this breathtaking whirlwind of a book.
By blending Latin American culture and elements of Wonderland with a dark note of the Underworld, Cordova creates a rich, complex, and magical world. The characters who inhabit this world are also beautifully drawn and complicated. Together, they make a labyrinth that you won't want to leave once you've entered it.

9 by 5 Impression Exhibition
Portrait by Arthur Streeton of Louis Abrahams smoking a cigar. Abrahams, a tobacconist, supplied the artists with wooden cigar-box lids for painting impressions. Many of the lids measured 9 by 5 inches, hence the name of the exhibition.
The 9 by 5 Impression Exhibition was an art exhibition in Melbourne, Australia. The exhibition was opened on 17 August 1889 in Buxton's Rooms on Swanston Street and featured 183 works; the majority of which were painted by the Australian impressionists Tom Roberts, Charles Conder and Arthur Streeton. The exhibition was named for the dimensions of most of the paintings— 9 by 5 inches (23 cm × 13 cm), the size of a cigar box lid upon which many of the works were painted— and the Impressionist inspiration for the works.[1]
The exhibition created much lively commentary at the time and is now seen as a "celebrated event in Australian art history".[1] 9 by 5s continue to appear on the market; in 2009, Conder's Centennial Choir at Sorrento (cat. 151) sold at Sotheby's for A$492,000.[2] In 2012, to mark the 123rd anniversary of the exhibition, arts benefactor Max Carter donated four 9 by 5s (valued at over A$3,000,000) to the Art Gallery of South Australia, the largest group of 9 by 5s ever given to an Australian public institution.[3]

Parks have their place in an urban area. They are public spaces owned by the City, and they provide more than just a public place for children to slide down plastic slides. They can also host community gatherings, as well provide respite for parents to let their children 'loose' for an hour.
These benefits are especially important to families living in high-rise buildings. Proximity to a community park is a good selling feature of nearby buildings.
The City of Hamilton plans to sell part of a Corktown park [PDF link] to a developer after declaring it "surplus".
The park at 90 Charlton Avenue East is called Woolverton Park, named after Frances Woolverton - "the mother of Hamilton's Playgrounds". It features a wading pool, a play structure that was replaced two years ago, and a multi-purpose court.
This little park is heavily utilized by the residents of the high rise buildings in the Charlton Avenue area of our neighbourhood who would ordinarily have no recreational areas which are specific to children's play.
The City plans to sell part of the park to 852984 Ontario Inc. (Sam Disanto), who owns the neighbouring property at 121 St. Joseph's Drive. In 2009, a 15 unit building on that property was demolished after it had been declared unsafe when a retaining wall collapsed into the park in 2007.
The developer wants to build a new nine-storey, 70-unit building with an underground parking lot, but needs part of Woolverton Park to do it. According to staff [PDF link], the land in question is "part of an embankment, and is not usable park space."
At an April 2011 Planning Committee meeting, the Committee asked staff to "review the options of reinvesting all or part of the money the City received for the sale of the park, into Woolverton Park."
Local residents to made delegations to the meeting raised concerns about lack of parking, increased congestion, impact on and access to the park, access for DARTS, noise and disruption during construction, and possible damage to the park during construction.
Public parks and spaces are indeed needed, but so is density. How much density is too much? How much public space in a residential area is needed to create a critical mass for a healthy, walkable, livable community?
Should we "Rook to Queen Bishop 4" and densify - spurring local retail and F&B - at the expense and diminishing a local park? Or should we "King and Rook", and force a draw by keeping the entire current well-used parkette for area high-rise families?
This is not a huge building, given that our third tallest skyscraper, the Olympia at 33 floors, is next door. However, to accommodate the required parking, the developer is forced to purchase part of a city-owned park to make room for a three-storey parkade.
Did we forget about the Province's Places to Grow Act? Hamilton is supposed to increase our population density, but we have done very little to meet the requisite recommendations passed six years ago by Queen's Park.
An increase in our population density will help expedite all-day-GO transit, more local public transit, LRT, help with local retail/food and beverage, and also add to assessment on existing infrastructure.
On the other hand, the diminishment of a well-used park may reduce the livability of the existing neighourhood. So what should we do?
Between a rock and a hard place....well I see two options for this one. Either deny it, but make another piece of land nearby available to the developer for a steal (such as the Augusta Firehouse) or allow it, but demand the developer finance a new park in the area or keep the majority of the parkland publicly open present and go with underground parking and limited surface guest parking.
Carter Park and Shamrock Park are both close, there also is a possibility of an upgrade for those parks to compensate the loss. The city also has the possibility of asking for a bit more so it could convert nearby land to Parkland.
what's the big deal??? the park itself is still going to remain... and are residents really concerned about parking? this is a replacement of a building, not something entirely new. it will be just as it was (if not, very close to it). besides, who wants to make a bet that not 100% of the new condo owners will have a car?
my grandparents live across the street in the taller building at 130 st. joe's.... i've never had an issue finding parking on the street when i visit. what i have an issue with is looking at the big empty void on the north side of the street!
If they are just selling the embankment, then this is a non-issue. Build it, just don't encroach on the main area of the park itself.
Not that big of a dilemma. They're only selling off the embankment at the edge of the park, all the rest of it will still be a park. Hard to see this as anything other than nimbyism -- or maybe nimpism (not in my park).
Agree. ditto to what the 2 above commenter's posted.
Put the parking lot under the park.
The core cannot afford to give up greenspace. If you are going to infill and build vertically people still need somewhere to walk and sit. Downtown is already underserviced with parkland and greenspace especially Durand.
What's going on with that lot at Catherine and Young? Looks like it's still sitting empty surrounded by concrete blocks, exactly the same as I remember it 15 years ago. Can't the city purchase that and add a park?
Hamilton has loads of wonderful park space. Hamilton does not have an loads of successful highrises and good developers. I say go for it.
BTW, this might even bring about traffic calming measures at the St. Joseph lights (those additional 55 units may bring more than cyclists/pedestrians), which would be an additional bonus.
1) After sale the lands would be exempt from the zoning bylaw, and all other laws restricting land use, in perpetuity. The new owners would be free to use it for whatever purpose they wished. Should they sell some or all of the lands in the future this freedom of use would follow the sale.
2) The money received from the auction to be used only to reduce the municipal debt.
3) The budget of the Parks Department to be reduced by a proportionate amount based on the size and current operating costs of the park.
4) Insofar as the property tax rate of residents in the area is based on the proximity of the park their tax rate to be reduced by that amount.
This last point is important, certainly if residents in the area, or the city as a whole for that matter, wanted to organize a private syndicate to bid on the park they would need time to organize themselves. I'd certainly be willing to pay a modest annual subscription for such a purpose in exchange for the tax reductions itemized above.
Why the heck should residents have to buy their own park back from the city, which already owns the park as public property owned by everyone. Sorry but this just shows how ridiculous libertarian economics is when you try to put it in practice.
Well Rufus, I know what it means to own the socks that I'm wearing right now, and I know what it means to say that my partners and I own our business, but I have no idea what it means to say that "public property [is] owned by everyone". can you explain that one to me please?
Hamilton does not have enough parks downtown. How big is Gore Park? How big is Durand park? How big is City Hall parkette? Not parks!!! Look at you average subdivision on a map, every one of them has a local park. If you want lots more highrises and condos downtown and a liveable core, then you have to have greenspace.
If this is just the embankment, I can live with that. If it encroaches on the park at all, I've got a problem with it, and that coming from someone REALLY interested in seeing Molinaro begin to construct new highrises downtown.
I remember when that retaining wall collapsed - it was a nightmare. Residents were thrown out and not allowed back to get their possessions, many of which got looted over the next few months as the building stood empty.
I really don't see any reasons to cut any of the developers in question any deals, especially those which encroach on public parkland. If this is coming from the same ownership (Sam Disanto), then we've got every reason to be sceptical.
Let's see the area involved - maps, photos, perhaps somebody could tape it out. When they say "embankment", what exactly do they mean?
Disanto didn't own the property when the when the collapse happened. The previous owner didn't pay taxes and the city auctioned the property off.
My main concern is if we the taxpayer got the best price in the auction, because if this park property was included in that auction perhaps the sale price could have been higher. Perhaps more than the $170,000.
Likewise, why should the city be "sole selling" this piece of property? If it's deemed "surplus" shouldn't it be sold in an open bid process?
Finally, the money from the sale of surplus land at a neighbourhood park should go back to that neighbourhood. Or at the very least an adjacent/adjoining neighbourhood. General Parkland Dedication typically benefits suburban neighbourhoods.
Disanto didn't own the property when the when the collapse happened.
Thanks for clearing that up. That just didn't sound right, even by Hamilton standards.
I'd still like to know exactly what area's involved, though.
>> On the other hand, the diminishment of a well-used park may reduce the livability of the existing neighourhood. So what should we do?
Who says that the topography of a park should be flat, by declaring the embankment surplus? The City's legal department's stamp is all over this one. We can't have children rolling down the embankment in the summer and of course we can't have them sliding down in the winter. Has the City violated its own policy for the sale of lands deemed surplus? Has it been listed on their site? Why not offer the developer a land swap for a surface parking lot where they can develop a larger project with more underground parking that could service the residents and other members of the public. This of course will not happen as the location is a very desirable one and all of the interests seem to have aligned, leaving the residents and the growing number of children on the bottom looking up!
Aside from Foster and Ferguson, this neighbourhood is exclusively high-rise, and probably has one of the highest population densities in the city. That wasn't always the case, though. I'm sure this was a battle waged when the Olympia arrived as well, and throughout the 60s as adjacent buildings eclipsed single-family homes. What does history tell us of those battles?
The impact will probably be most noticeable in terms of trees, which are reasonably thick on the embankment. Some sort of incursion is probably unavoidable if you're looking to almost quintuple the capacity of the building, and I'm sure that there will be restrictions placed on the park as construction begins, whatever comes of the embankment.
For what it's worth, a five-minute walk From Woolverton Park will get you to Shamrock Park or Corktown Park. Stand at King and James, meanwhile, and it's twice that to Beasley Park or three times that to Central Park; The Core Lofts are as far to Durand Park, Victoria Park or the HAAA Grounds.
The city uses parkland fees to help pay for new parks. Even after the 2 1/2-year stimulus period, developers will pay less than the current cost for parkland on townhouses and high-density projects.
Planning staff recently recommended a permanent fee reduction that will save developers from $1,000 to $4,500 per unit.
The interim stimulus initiative, which is expected to be passed by council next week, will be even cheaper, charging only 5 per cent of the land value for large developments.

How To Start Fishing Hobby - Outdoor Gear World!
Fishing is a fantastic experience, and more people are going fishing for relaxation and sport. Over 40 million people go fishing each year in different kind of water bodies, and fishing has become more popular and recommended as a recreational activity.
The recent hype in fishing had seen many newcomers becoming interested in fishing, and it is not as difficult as it may seem to most people. Fishing is one of the relaxing activities you can engage in and as a beginner; there are lots of tips and guideline you have to adhere.
The first step in the fishing expedition as a beginner is to get familiar with your fishing equipment and know how to handle the equipment. It is important that you look upon your fishing gadgets and learn all the parts and functions of the fishing equipment. You should learn how these parts work and how to dismantle and fix them if necessary as you can easily fix them up when you are in the waters.
To understand your fishing pieces of equipment; you will know the suitable fishing equipment you will use for each environment. You should note that there is suitable fishing equipment for saltwater and freshwater environments and also in handling different sizes of fishers found in different water bodies.
Thus, knowing the suitable fishing equipment to use can be an added advantage in helping you have a pleasant fishing experience.
It will only be right for you to keep your fishing equipment in good condition to ensure they will be in good working condition and use them for a long time. It would help if you washed the equipment after each use to ensure they will be in good working condition.
Taking care of your equipment also means using them for the right purpose only as they are very delicate material. The fishing rods and the fishing line should not be used for any other purpose as they are very delicate and will wear out and tear if used for other purposes.
made specifically for certain environment, for example, coated alloy materials are used in the saltwater environment to prevent the material from eroding when they react with the saltwater.
As a beginner, the next step is to understand how to go about in the rigging of your equipment. The fishing rig will require that you tie the hook, leaders, baits, and lures along a fishing line and you can cast your line after you have completed this process.
You can get your guide to help you go through this process of securing your rig for the first time as you get used to the process. There are some many different rigs with their different ways of gigging the line, and some can be difficult while others are simple to rig.
The knot is another important aspect of fishing you have to learn as a beginner to help secure your catch properly. You do not want to lose your catch along with your bait when your knot got lose when caught by a big game. Your knot should be strong enough to hold the weight of the catch as you hurled them up in the line.
There are three main common types of knot you can start with when learning how to tie a knot and they include Palomar knot, arbor knot, and improved clinch knot. With these simple knots, you can easily secure your hook properly to the line and secured enough to hurl your catch.
As a beginner, you have to understand that there are more to throwing your line in the water to catch a fish, you have to learn how to cast properly. You can put the bait where it can get to the fishes. With spinning tackle or spin casting, you can cast your line further and reach greater depth to catch bigger fish.
With the proper guidance, you can learn how to use the spin casting and with the right kind of knot, draw big fishes to the surface. When you are learning how to cast as a beginner, you should learn away from people in an open area as you throw your line to get the hang and feel of the casting. With enough practice, you will be able to cast farther and deep when you hit the waters.
As a beginner, you should always fish with a companion especially with someone that had much experience as you to help you get along with fishing.
You should always be careful in handling your equipment especially since they are sharp at the edges to ensure that you do not cause yourself any injuries.
You should not cast your line around people and ensure you look properly before you cast your line to prevent an accident.
You should return fish or catch to the water if you do not have the intention of eating them or if they are amongst any of the endangered species.
You should understand the laws guiding fishing in your location and ensure you adhere to these laws.
Whenever you catch a fish below the size recommended under the law, you should ensure to return it to the water.
There are many places you can go fishing and have a good time, but you should ensure to take care of the environment as well. It would help if you avoided leaving the plastic container, your hooks and lines and other equipment that can affect the water bodies behind.

The effects of hibernation on the hemostatic properties of the American bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana
Kiana Cullinan, University of Northern IowaFollow
Award/Availability
Open Access Honors Program Thesis
David Saunders
Bullfrog--Hibernation; Hemostatics;
It is known that hibernating animals display a drastic reduction in metabolic rate, accompanied by reduced heart rate and rate of blood flow through vessels. Sluggish blood flow increases the risk for developing clots, yet it has been observed that hibernators conclusively display elongated clotting times. This observed impairment may be caused by the decrease in body temperature, due to a negative impact on the functioning of the enzymes involved in coagulation. Some hibernating endotherms, or "warm-blooded" animals, employ biological mechanisms as preventative means to prevent clotting during hibernation, such as the down-regulation of certain clotting factors or the production of an inhibitor. In this study, the hemostatic properties of ectotherms, or "cold-blooded" animals, were studied by comparing the clotting times of non-hibernating and hibernating American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) using activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). It was found that blood coagulation in ectotherms is less impacted by the change in temperature than in endotherms, and that the difference in clotting time between non-hibernating and hibernating frogs could not be explained by temperature alone. Bullfrogs appear to down-regulate levels of coagulation factors XI and XII, as well as produce a non-protein coagulation inhibitor. These results suggest that hibernating ectotherms such as frogs employ similar physiological mechanisms to prevent clotting during hibernation as do endotherms.

The 2CELLOS experience is elevated to another level of excitement in a live setting. This set actually opens up in a more traditional manner, with Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser performing Tchaikovsky's gentle "Nocturno" with piano accompaniment. With a piano, a trio performance of nuevo tango maestro Astor Piazolla's "Oblivion" follows. That impassioned display perfectly sets up an understated yet emotive (and clearly welcome) reading of U2's "With or Without You." The aesthetic isn't nearly as "classical-like" on a version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which features processed effects to give the four-stringed instruments a thrashed-out electric guitar sound at times. This set closes with a kinetic version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal," the song that originally made 2CELLOS viral video stars.

Europe's B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival will be held this year in the city center of Breda in the Netherlands on Sept. 7-11. In addition to film, the fest also celebrates several other arts, including music, poetry and comic books.
But, on the film front, this year's special film guest of honor will be Cinema of Transgression founder Nick Zedd. Plus, they'll be honoring filmmakers Julia Ostertag, Marian Dora and Fred Vogel.
While the fest's Call for Entries just recently ended, as soon as they've confirmed a final screening lineup, we'll get that posted on the Underground Film Journal.


President Muhammadu Buhari says he has resolved to stop complaining about the problems his administration inherited when it came into office.
Buhari said he "asked for it" by relentlessly vying for office four times before emerging president in 2015.
He made the comments while speaking with a cross-section of Nigerians in Poland on the sidelines of the global summit on Climate Change.
Speaking on the security situation in the country, Buhari said significant progress has been made in the war against insurgency.
He said Boko Haram insurgents have been able to launch attacks in recent months because "they know the area more than the soldiers".

As a training tool – running a PTP test/assessment is invaluable!
When, or how often, should we be using using the PTP (Personal Threshold Power) mode screen?
What exactly should we have our riders doing, during the PTP (Calc) test/assessment?
First, for those currently not using a Display System in your studio, let me explain what we're talking about. NOTE: I'll focus on Performance IQ because I know it much better – all of this has similar application with Spivi.
On a related note, I learned a little known trick that could potentially save a new studio enough money to pay for PIQ or Spivi – contact me if you're interested in learning more.
The PTP (Personal Threshold Power) mode screen in PIQ offers a quick (just three minutes) and simple tool to give your riders an approximate understanding of their maximum sustainable power wattage. Then through the wonders of technology, PIQ creates 5 power zones and displays them as different colors. The system calculates PTP as 90% of the highest sustainable power each rider can sustain for the length of the three minute test.
Is PTP as accurate as a 20 Threshold assessment? It doesn't matter to ~98.5% of your riders. What is important is that PTP answers the question that I've heard over and over the past 3 years I've been teaching with power: how hard should I be working… when you ask me to work hard?
Paul and I are in agreement here – we both feel you should be including PTP in most, if not all classes. There are of course exceptions. You may have a teams challenge scheduled or focus on a class that's directed toward handicapping everyone based on watts/pound.
You see we each teach very different classes. Mine are typically focused efforts in the saddle = how I would run my PTP tests. Paul's classes are much more frenetic, with frequent changes = that's how he conducts his PTP segments.
Running a PTP test isn't any different from the Best Effort intervals we suggest you use in a power class that doesn't have a Display Training system. Here's one I included in a recent Performance Cycle class.
Track #2 – the first PTP track is important. We'll use this average wattage for each of the four PTP efforts to follow. Everyone seemed to enjoy Billy Idol – Rebel Yell – 1999 – Remaster – maybe suffered a bit as well. At 4:47 there's plenty of time to explore PTP.
We use the Stage button to reset the averages at the beginning of what I describe as; Your Best Sustainable Effort. It's normal for riders to miss-judge where they should be, so I'll often have everyone make needed adjustments and hit the Stage button again to reset the averages.
My experience is that everyone will benefit from from a few mini (30-60 secs) PTP efforts to figure out where you should be. On any of the magnetic bikes I like to have find a reasonably challenging climb at around 65 RPM and then have riders accelerate to over 80RPM and observe what it feels like (RPE) and the wattage.
Two or three of these short intervals should give your peeps a watts window they can shoot for during the actual 3 minute PTP test.
I ask everyone to stand and walk, without touching the resistance, for a minute recovery.
To start the PTP test, I'll cue up a track like 83RPM Billy Idol – Rebel Yell and cue finding the cadence. Ten seconds to get everyone there and I will click Calc PTP. Encourage everyone to do whatever it takes to complete the assessment and let the technology work it's magic, figuring everyone's training zones.

Q: MS Excel If statement not working for shifts formula?
AE has formula :
=IF(
              AND([@[IST Time]]>=$AF$1,[@[IST Time]]<$AG$1),"First (6a-3:30p)",
              IF(AND([@[IST Time]]>=$AG$1,[@[IST Time]]<$AH$1),"Second (1:30p-11p)",
              "Third (10p-7:30a)"))

it should have shown Second instead of third , not sure what's wrong here.

A: There could be some issue with the cell reference [@[IST Time]].  Try entering the following formula into cell AE2:
=IF(AND(AD2>=$AF$1,AD2<$AG$1), "First (6a-3:30p)",
     IF(AND(AD2>=$AG$1,AD2<$AH$1), "Second (1:30p-11p)", "Third (10p-7:30a)"))

Kyle Rittenhouse Is Facing 170 Years – Here's a Comparison of Charges to Video Coverage of the Events that Night
By Joe Hoft
Published August 28, 2020 at 8:35pm
Earlier in the day on August 25th Kyle Rittenhouse was busy cleaning buildings after another night of Democrat BLM rioters damaging another US city. That night young Rittenhouse was running for his life from BLM rioters.
Yesterday Rittenhouse was charged with up to 170 years for his actions that night.
Here's a comparison of charges and the events that occurred.
There is video evidence of young Rittenhouse in Kenosha the morning of the shootings helping clean paint from the buildings that were desecrated by BLM rioters before the shooting.
Kyle Rittenhouse photographed volunteering to help clean up BLM graffiti in Kenosha earlier in the day, before defending himself against rioters. https://t.co/tmNsqZ4Jod

There is more footage from the night of the shooting showing Rittenhouse carrying a gun and being thanked by the police for his help.
Police not only didn't arrest suspect Kyle Rittenhouse at the scene, but at the start of the night they thanked an armed group who had come out â€and at the end of the night, video shows Rittenhouse was able to walk right out of the Kenosha hot zone.https://t.co/GQ9b0qf4hW

Unfortunately things quickly changed for the young Rittenhouse on Tuesday night. So much so that he is now charged with multiple crimes.
📌
Kyle Rittenhouse is charged with 5 felonies + 1 misdemeanor.
He is facing a maximum sentence of life + 170 years and 9 months.
Kyle's charges and the evidence the prosecutors are currently relying on are outlined in this thread.

Rittenhouse is charged with intentional murder for shooting Anthony Huber who was carrying a skateboard the night of his death.
This is the most serious charge. Huber has a long criminal record.
The most serious charge is Intentional Homicide of Anthony Huber, on which Kyle faces life + 5 years.
Evidence shows Huber hitting Kyle with a skateboard while Kyle is on the ground, then Huber struggles to get the rifle out of Kyle's hands. One shot is fired during the struggle. pic.twitter.com/n881Tuj01R
Here is a picture of Huber hitting Rittenhouse with his skateboard after Rittenhouse fell to the ground:
A video slowed down shows Huber hitting young Rittenhouse with his skateboard before being shot and killed:
Slowed down you can see the "shooter" is defending himself not indiscriminately killing people. pic.twitter.com/Xjmypfuttg

The next charge Rittenhouse is facing is a lesser charge for murdering Joseph Rosenbaum.
Kyle is charged with Reckless Homicide in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, max penalty 65 years.
According to @RichieMcGinniss, Kyle was running from Rosenbaum, who was chasing him & threw an object at him. The moment he was shot, Rosenbaum was attempting to grab Kyle's weapon. pic.twitter.com/BXtQTNnDDs
Rosenbaum also has a criminal record and he reportedly was chasing Rittenhouse and he reached for Rittenhouse's gun shortly before he was shot. Rosenbaum was shot in the head and also died. There are reports that Rittenhouse was shot at before shooting Rosenbaum.
WATCH: A video sync of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting in Kenosha, WI with multiple camera angles and object highlights. pic.twitter.com/61XMCdHcmK
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 26, 2020
Next Rittenhouse is charged with attempted homicide of Gaige Grosskreutz:
Kyle is charged with Attempted Intentional Homicide of Gaige Grosskreutz, max penalty 65 years as charged.
Grosskreutz approached Kyle, who was sitting on the ground at that moment, with a pistol in his right hand. Kyle shot Grosskreutz in the arm holding the pistol. pic.twitter.com/JdpWtf2w76
As is noted above and can be seen in the video above showing Huber attacking Rittenhouse with his skateboard, Grosskreutz had a gun and he too was chasing Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz also has a rap sheet and may have committed a crime for carrying the gun if he is a felon. Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in the arm that was carrying the gun.
The next charge against Rittenhouse is for actions he took against a reporter who was following him when he was allegedly fired upon and when he fired on Rosenbaum.
Kyle is charged with Reckless Endangerment of @RichieMcGinniss, a @DailyCaller reporter. Max penalty 17.5 years.
McGinniss was following behind Kyle and Rosenbaum when Rosenbaum attacked Kyle and Kyle shot in response. McGinniss was not injured. pic.twitter.com/AalSSG8rXB
The reporter has not on record claimed he was endangered that we are aware of. He does claim he saw Rosenbaum reach for Rittenhouse's gun before Rosenbaum was shot.
The next charge is against Rittenhouse for actions he took against an unknown man.
Kyle is charged with Reckless Endangerment of "unknown male", max penalty 17.5 years in prison.
Here is a photo by @ElijahSchaffer of this "unknown male" and what he was doing to Kyle right before Kyle shot at him, without injuring him. pic.twitter.com/FpI6o1ui0q
The unknown man charged and attempted to kick Rittenhouse when Rittenhouse fell on the ground. He is in the first video above in white pants. We don't know if he too is a criminal with a rap sheet. It looks like he was shot at by Rittenhouse after he kicked Rittenhouse. He is the only one who Rittenhouse shot who was able to walk away, but possibly with a limp.
Rittenhouse is also charged with carrying a gun but it appears he may have had the right to carry it.
Kyle is charged with misdemeanor Possession of a Dangerous Weapon under age 18 for a Smith & Wesson AR-15 rifle under section (2)(a) of a law that later in section (3)(c), in unfortunately confusing terms, actually permits rifle possession at age 16+. CC @willchamberlain pic.twitter.com/3W76rGKntZ
So this is what the young Rittenhouse is facing – 170 years in prison for crimes that may be very difficult to pin on the 17-year-old. This too looks like another case of prosecutorial abuse. No wonder attorney Lin Wood is offering to help the young man.

Last orders for IMF's Christine Lagarde as Wetherspoon props up Brexit with beer mat campaign
By Dan Cancian
May 31, 2016 13:48 BST
Wetherspoon EU referendum beer mats JD Wetherspoon
Pub chain JD Wetherspoon has printed 200,000 beer mats bearing a message urging its customers to vote 'Leave' at the upcoming EU referendum on 23 June. Tim Martin, the chain's founder and a staunch supporter of the 'Leave' campaign, said that the beer mats put forward a "hard-hitting message" arguing the case for Britain to leave the EU.
The mats, which will be available in Wetherspoon's 920 pubs across Britain, carry a message on both sides focusing on the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Christine Lagarde, the fund's managing director.

"The governance issues within the IMF, are, in my opinion, very serious for UK citizens," Martin said on Tuesday (31 May).
"The government has paraded a number of financial institutions in front of the public, who have, in my view, grossly distorted our financial prospects in the event of a Brexit."
The message on the beer mats also urges UK voters to question whether they should trust Lagarde's stance on a potential Brexit, given she has come out in support of the pro-European movement.
"Corporate governance at the IMF is clearly out of control, and Christine Lagarde would have been obliged to resign at any normal PLC or institution until the matters in question were resolved," Martin added.
"The UK public have been asked to rely on her comments by both George Osborne and David Cameron in the forthcoming referendum, and she must now answer the questions on the beer mats and others that the public may have."

In Sixth Form
We provide our Pupils with maximum exposure to careers related experiences as well as guidance meetings throughout Year 12. Maida Vale School builds on the Gardener Schools Group's established links with local and city-wide organisations including businesses, community groups, arts foundations, scientific institutes and museums. A two-week work experience placement in Year 12 contributes to Pupils making informed decisions about their futures.
We closely tutor and guide our Pupils throughout the UCAS process over the course of the Sixth Form. Our staff have a wealth of experience and contacts at universities guarantee that Pupils know how to apply for the country's most prestigious institutions. We also provide careers advice and guidance through outside speakers from universities and industry experts.
Enrichment – Beyond Exam Grades
Admission to the best universities and the most demanding courses in the country requires more than just high grades alone. A successful applicant must stand out from the crowd and our enrichment programme combines numerous different elements which deliver these opportunities. Our Individuals in Society course produces engaged young adults, preparing them for the "real world" and includes seminars on body language, emotional intelligence, nutrition and personal finance. We inform our Pupils about the dangers of the adult world and how to make informed choices to survive in it.
The Extended Study Project (EPQ)
All Pupils are encouraged to complete the Extended Study Project in addition to their A Level studies. Pupils apply the independent learning skills they have been taught in a real-life context and cover an area of learning that they decide on independently. The EPQ can be used towards university admissions, counting as half an A-Level.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an integral part of the life of Pupils at Maida Vale School. We are convinced of the value of the experiences it provides for our Pupils. We encourage our Pupils to take part so they can demonstrate to universities and employers that they can operate outside their comfort zones and can cope with any challenge thrown at them.
Leaders in the Community
Our Sixth Formers are seen as leaders, are treated as young adults, and provide an example to the lower year groups of the school. Our Head Boy and Head Girl lead a Sixth Form Headship Team which liaises with the School Council in Years 7 to 11 to direct charitable activities, suggest improvements and volunteer within the community. We have forged links with local primary and SEN schools which allow Pupils to help those less fortunate than themselves and contribute to the world beyond the school gates.

An ex-Chevron exec's change of heart on ethanol
Oct 9th 2006 at 6:37PM
Energy companies like Chevron cannot throw enough money at ethanol research these days. It certainly wasn't always like this. In 1999, a Chevron exec, Patricia Woertz, who was then head of refining, said it was "time to stop mixing agricultural policy with fuels policy." Today, Woertz has seen the light, and it is a corn-powered green.
Woertz's shift in attitude might have something to do with her new job. She is now the chief executive of Archer Daniels Midland, the agribusiness giant that is pushing like mad to promote ethanol made from corn. Woertz now says that ethanol will make up 10 percent of the U.S. gasoline supply sometime in the next ten years and that ADM will take the lead in producing cellulosic ethanol when the technology is available to make it efficiently. Woertz explains her change of heart on ethanol on an evolving energy market. Fair enough. We'll see where she's at seven years hence.

"Students, especially undergraduates, are the most vital assets in our community."
Edward Steinfeld, director of the Watson Institute
The Watson Institute issues a call to action to Brown students: #HackWatson
Submit your ideas!
With this political season's contentious schisms likely to continue post-Election Day, here's an opportunity that will appeal to everyone, regardless of their political affiliations: The Watson Institute invites students, faculty, staff, and community members to participate in #HackWatson, "Changing layout of Watson's public spaces."
How can the Watson Institute's two buildings – 111 Thayer Street and 59 Charlesfield Street – be more inclusive and welcoming to everyone? How can the facilities be opened up to nurture students' ability to tap into the creativity and energy of the Watson community? How can we create more buzz, more energy within the buildings' different spaces for structured and informal learning, studying, and discussion? These are questions that Edward Steinfeld, the Director of the Watson Institute, asks.
Whether you are a student who frequent the building regularly -- for events, as a concentrator, or through one of the eight regional centers -- or if you are fairly new to the building, the Watson Institute wants to hear from you. Plans to renovate a building on Charlesfield and build a new 20,000-square-foot facility, adjacent to the building at Thayer, offer an ideal opportunity to improve the public space within the buildings and raise awareness among members of the community about the public's access to these facilities.
With the Watson Institute addressing so many provocative issues – including, for example, those of race, ethnicity, and identity in cross-national contexts; environmental challenges and conflict resolution; and equity in education and health care – we host a wide array of learners, from heads of state to undergraduate students, said Steinfeld, whose life was changed and career path determined when he inadvertently discovered a class on China, simply because it was held in a lecture hall adjacent to his preferred study space. Even if visitors to Watson don't become abiding public policy experts, they'll still learn a great deal, laughed Steinfeld, who believes that spending time together promotes more opportunities for shared learning.
"Students, especially undergraduates, are the most vital assets in our community," said Steinfeld, who wants to build and strengthen Watson's "ever-present [cohort] of those assets stimulating our work and promoting learning and making the place feel like a beehive of activity."
All ideas, no matter how modest or grand, cutting-edge or traditional, are welcome. Please submit ideas using this form, or using #HackWatson on social media channels.
