For many, 2016 was tumultuous — politically, emotionally, and otherwise. But as far as San Francisco real estate goes, the year delivered a steady hand of comfort. "Balanced" would be our word for it.
Our experiences helping clients to buy and sell homes in Noe Valley and beyond matches the available data. Compared to years in the earlier part of this decade, the market evened out. There wasn't as much turbulence as we've been used to. Prices dropped slightly and so did competition — particularly for higher end properties.
Where we once expected multiple offers on everything that hit the market, in 2016 we saw that settle some. Entry level properties, small condos, and real estate in prime locations continued to attract a flurry of bids but other, more expensive properties sometimes did not.
That's a shift towards a more balanced market, but still one where property is at a premium.
Real estate is extremely valuable in San Francisco and likely will remain so for the foreseeable future. People are eager to get into the market here, and in Noe Valley in particular, but the sky is no longer the limit. Single-family homes above $3.5 million stayed on the market for far longer than before, for example. Many of those higher-valued properties sold for under the original asking price.
In contrast, the price for entry level Noe Valley single-family homes and condominiums remained as strong as we expected. We saw a healthy contingent of properties in our neighborhood sell for $1,100.00 to $1,250.00 per square foot.
Below are the median prices for single-family homes in Noe Valley in 2016. These numbers tell a story of equilibrium.
For 2016, according to MLS, the median single-family home price in District 5 was $2,187,500. That maps well to the transactions we assisted with during the year, which was a good one for Droubi Team.
2016 continued our long string of strong performances. We represented buyers and sellers in 54 successful transactions, totaling $113,910,500.00. Of the 33 listings we represented during the year, 85% sold for over asking price. Droubi Team agents Lamisse Droubi and David Pennebaker were consistently ranked as the two top agents in Noe Valley, Glen Park, and District 5 as per MLS sales.
And that leaves us looking ahead to 2017!
For those of us who anticipate buying or selling San Francisco property during the year, we see clear skies ahead. The market should remain relatively balanced, with some peaks and valleys. As the country sees a new presidential administration come into power, San Francisco may increase in popularity as people seek out California's more liberal politics. That could lead to a return to higher competition for property across the board but chances are that other factors will temper demand.
We wish you all a successful, joyful 2017. If there's anything we can do to help you feel more at home, we remain your neighbors.

The Platner Collection which has been in continuous production by Knoll since its launch in 1966 recently had an update with the steel now being produced in a 18k gold plated finish as well as the original nickel plating. The table's frame is made of vertical steel wire rods welded to circular horizontal and edge-framing rods. The base features a clear plastic extrusion ring that creates a smooth bottom surface. The top is available in a choice of glass or marble finishes.
Warren Platner studied architecture at Cornell University. Following his work with legendary designers Raymond Loewy, Eero Saarinen and I. M. Pei, he immersed himself in the creation of steel wire furniture, devising the method and tooling to produce the lounge chair in the line as well.

Chargers All-Time Lists
Los Angeles Chargers: 6 most underrated players in team history
8 Jan 1995: SAN DIEGO RUNNING BACK NATRONE MEANS POUNDS THROUGH TWO MIAMI DEFENDERS ON HIS WAY TO A CONTROVERSIAL TOUCHDOWN DURING THE CHARGERS AFC PLAYOFF GAME VERSUS THE DOLPHINS AT JACK MURPHY STADIUM IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. THE CHARGERS WENT ON TO W
8 Jan 1995: Running back Ronnie Harmon of the San Diego Chargers moves the ball during a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California. The Chargers won the game, 22-21. Mandatory Credit: Mike Powell /Allsport
The Los Angeles Chargers have a long and storied history that dates back to the early 1960s. In that time, numerous players have chipped in to help the franchise achieve the success it has seen.
It's easy to talk about the great players and the players that have put up the biggest numbers and set the most records. But just like in any football game or any championship run, it takes a complete team to reach the very top.
Often times, role players on a Super Bowl roster are overshadowed by the big names and the colorful personalities. But in the grand scheme of things and in the history of each team, those role players deserve to be recognized as well.
The Chargers have had many unsung heroes over the years and in fact, there are too many of them to list. But here, that list has been pared down to six. These six players are the most underrated players in the history of the Chargers.
This list includes several running backs, but it also includes players from each unit on the team. These players were chosen for their contributions over the years and each player on this list was considered for the top 30 players in franchise history that I put out earlier this year.

This is another great street to live on. It is like E. 238th Street, the only difference is there is a library around the corner on Katonah Avenue.
I believe nearly everyone will love the area. Besides having a library nearby, there is also a school the next block over.
"A Street With A Few Conveniences"
East 239th Street is in a nice section of the Bronx, New York, an up and coming borough in the vibrant metropolis. This street is mainly residential with some housing options that are fairly run down and not much to look at. The street itself is convenient with a metro station for the 2 and 5 trains located at Pugsley Road at 238th Street. In terms of businesses and shopping, you won't find much here beyond a few service oriented shops and a few small convenience stores. All in all, this is an average street in an average section of the Bronx, and with nothing much to do or see, you might not be too interested in either living on or visiting East 238th Street.

Eyefootball
Arsenal FC Daily Aggregated News
Race for the Champions League: Who will make it into Europe's elite?
The Premier League season is now beyond the halfway mark and it looks like four teams will be competing for just one place in next season's Champions League.
Five points separate Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Wolves with only one likely to finish in the top four with Liverpool, Leicester and Manchester City so far clear of the chasing pack.
Arsenal look like they have played themselves out of contention while surely fourth is a step too far for Sheffield United. So, with just one spot seemingly available, who will be the team to join Europe's elite?
Manchester United, Chelsea, Spurs and Wolves are battling to reach the Champions League
Chelsea – 4th – 35 points
Frank Lampard's side have been in fourth place for a number of weeks now and retained the position with their superb comeback victory over Arsenal on Sunday.
The Blues are four points clear of their nearest rivals so imagine how far ahead they would be if they hadn't lost three of their last four league games at home.
Away wins at Arsenal and Tottenham have come alongside defeats at Stamford Bridge by Southampton, Bournemouth and West Ham and that lack of consistency could damage their chances.
Inconsistency is bound to come with such a young squad but Lampard needs to find a way to provide the same motivation for a game against a team in the bottom half as against a top-four rival.
The Blues have been boosted by the news that they can buy players in the January transfer window and there are obvious gaps that need to be filled.
Tammy Abraham and Jorginho celebrate after both scoring goals in the win over Arsenal
Chelsea are expected to sign a left back and a striker, to ease the burden on Tammy Abraham, but any new signings will need to settle quickly ahead of a horrible run of fixtures between the end of January and middle of February.
Over the course of four games Chelsea play Arsenal at home, then go to Leicester before playing back-to-back home matches against United and Spurs.
That run of games could define their season while games against Liverpool and Wolves in the final two weeks of the season will determine where they finish.
Frank Lampard now has the ability to buy players in January after their transfer ban was lifted
Manchester United – 5th – 31 points
Two wins in a row have propelled United into fifth place. That's the thing about the race for fourth, you feel if a team can put together a run of five or six wins then they can run away with it.
United bounced back from an embarrassing defeat by Watford before Christmas with comfortable victories over an in-form Newcastle and Burnley over the festive period.
They helped to close the gap to just four points to Chelsea and showed that United do have the capabilities to brush aside weaker opposition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces a huge transfer window in January though as he looks to build on the success of his summer purchases next month.
Marcus Rashford celebrates the second goal in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Burnley
Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Dan James have all added quality to the squad and Solskjaer needs a striker and a central midfielder if his team are going to compete for Champions League football.
Marcus Rashford has been impressive in front of goal but having a striker who can share the workload will inevitably help him and Anthony Martial while Paul Pogba's unavailability and desire to leave the club mean a midfielder is necessary.
United also have the luxury of having a second chance to qualify for the Champions League through the Europa League. They have got Club Brugge in the round of 32 and will be hopeful of reaching the latter stages.
United play most of their rivals before the middle of March and then have an appetising run of games towards the end of the season. If they can come through this tricky period unscathed then they are in with a major chance.
Consecutive wins over the festive period have helped United climb up the Premier League
Tottenham – 6th – 30 points
Spurs are five points off Chelsea but it feels like their season could spark into life at any moment and they could go on a long unbeaten run.
Jose Mourinho's arrival has not quite had the transformative effect many would have hoped but they are picking up results, even if the performances haven't massively improved.
Saturday's 2-2 draw at Norwich came after a hard-earned win over Brighton and a defeat by Chelsea and you feel Spurs need to rediscover their best form before playing Liverpool and Manchester City in the next five weeks.
Just two wins away from home all season is not good enough but trips to Southampton and Watford in their next two games are perfect opportunities to turn things around.
Jose Mourinho has improved Spurs' form and will surely strengthen in the January window
Harry Kane scores an equaliser from the penalty spot to rescue a point against Norwich
There is no denying Mourinho likes to spend big and it will be interesting to watch how his first transfer window with Spurs plays out.
He needs a striker to provide support to Harry Kane while the inevitable departure of Christian Eriksen – perhaps in January but definitely by summer – means a creative force in midfield will also be on the shopping list.
For a coach usually lambasted for being defensive-minded, Spurs have kept just one clean sheet in the league since Mourinho arrived and that needs to be fixed if they are to compete for fourth place.
A first-choice right back may also be brought in with Serge Aurier looking alarmingly fragile in his defending in recent weeks. January is always a tough window to do business in though and there are more pressing issues to address.
Wolves – 7th – 30 points
Wolves' performances earlier in the season hinted they would be another club that struggled to manage the Premier League-Europa League schedule.
They won just one of their opening seven league matches but are now flying, rising to seventh in the table and firmly in contention to snatch a place in the top four.
Their performances over the festive period also demonstrated their quality and that the squad has the tactical nous to pull off big results and beat their rivals.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side came back from 2-0 down to beat Manchester City on December 27 before they were mightily unlucky not to leave Anfield with at least a point on Sunday after being harshly denied an equaliser thanks to VAR.
Wolves are in the race for the top four and were unlucky to lose at Liverpool on Sunday
Winger Adama Traore inspired Wolves to a sensational comeback against Manchester City
Wolves have largely the same squad that impressed on their return to the top flight last season and their experience is proving invaluable.
Raul Jimenez is impressing in front of goal with 17 across all competitions so far this season while Adama Traore is in superb form and causing teams all sorts of problems on the wing.
After a tough couple of games they now have more attractive fixtures against Watford, Newcastle and Southampton as they bid to return to winning ways before playing Liverpool, Manchester United and Leicester in the coming weeks.
Things also look good in Europe with Wolves safely through to the last-32 where they will play Espanyol, currently the worst time in La Liga.

It's proprietress, Vickie Kelley is a gifted and delightful design and implementation master. No detail is too small for Vickie. She plays really close attention throughout the process, guiding, cajoling, imposing as the kitchen progresses.
Her specialty is kitchens in older homes. Mine was the remodel of a kitchen in a 201 year old stone cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She and her team never blinked despite challenges like 4 black snakes coming out of the wall during demolition, or a crumbling central wall.
The center piece of her kitchens are handmade cabinets from antique, recycled wood. They are exquisite on the outside and perfectly modern and functional in the inside. Mine were made from antique oak with 3 different finishes, honey on the base cabinets, distressed white on the uppers and distressed walnut on a hanging wine rack and lower cabinet. The color combinations really worked, with the white cabinets helping to overcome 7 foot ceilings. Similarly, her wall color suggestions unusual and amazing…..white walls, citron ceiling, pistachio accent walls brighten the place and invite you in.
Vickie has a very talented team but doesn't impose. I could have used any general contractor I wanted. I chose her guy, Rob. He was wonderful. He communicates well, moves things along, coordinates subs well and made sure even the smallest details were executed perfectly. He kept disruptions to a minimum and even befriended my coonhound. Everyone of the subs was excellent as well from the electrician, floor, plumbing to the tile folk.
One of the most fun things about Vickie is that she enjoys your participation. She made lots of suggestions but also was supportive of my contributions, from the Moroccan tile to the hand-forged hanging lights. Together we made a masterpiece.


With cover art that pays homage to Cecil Taylor's fractured 1966 Blue Note opus, Unit Structures – possibly the most extreme album the label ever released, Will Guthrie has returned with an album that is simultaneously stranger yet more accessible than Taylor's incendiary exercise in free jazz.
It's kitchen sink music, where the Australian born France based percussionist takes liberally from everywhere, a musique concrete soundscape of thin electrics and, amplified percussion, kit, strange, at times musical samples – even police interrogation tapes. Drones pierce, sirens sound, all manner of sonic debris is twisted squashed and manipulated into the composition as the percussion builds, into an onslaught of ragged timbres. There's a lot going on and it's not for the faint of heart.
Guthrie's previous album, 2015's Sacrée Obsession (Ideal) was much more subdued, and very much about the kit. With People Pleaser he's opened it up to everything else. Recent youtube clips have highlighted Guthrie's move from amplified junk percussion onto what could almost be referred to as prepared kit and People Pleaser feels like an amalgamation of all of the above.
Whilst it's a percussive and electronic album, the electrics don't sound like anything else around with not only varying textures and quality, but also a certain uncontrolled feeling, as if they've been born out of the resonance of Guthrie's percussive hits and could explode into feedback at any moment. Then there's the manipulations, the mic handling, the abrupt musique concrete cuts, the shimmering low quality samples, often augmented by a burst of percussion, gongs or glockenspiel. At times it feels like Guthrie is manipulating a Walkman, forwarding and rewinding the tape, then flicking it over to a slightly off channel AM Radio and building up the static or abruptly changing the station (to another slightly off channel setting). All of which he will regularly play percussion along to, creating a peculiar forward propulsion through the madness.
There's no mistaking that People Pleaser is a peculiar album, it's a mass of contradictions, there's a roughness and sense of danger imbued in it that makes you feel that there could be no author, that this is not a piece of art, it's just an uncontrolled collage of sound that you just happened upon. Yet it's also such an amazing, schizophrenic collision of sound, practices and techniques that we can only assume that this is what the inside of Guthrie's brain must sound like. There's genius here in his ability to organise the diverse sounds and textures and craft a path through them, yet also in the musicalness of the weirdness. There's something really performative about this album. It's one of the most live (and alive), perhaps even rocking musiqe concrete albums you will ever hear.

Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This is the city that gave birth to a whole era in the human history - the Renaissance.
Florence is packed full of wonderful architectural landmarks, virtually any square in the central part of the city is surrounded by architectural masterpieces. But Florence is by far not only this: it is the birthplace of handful of great man like Leonardo DaVinci, Dante Alighieri, Machiavelli and Michelangelo.All of them left their legacy and spirit in today's Florence.
When visiting this wonderful city be advised to have as many days as possible. as this city is best taken in small sips with much enjoyment. Be advised not to go in the high of the tourist season, if you do not like crowds and to make early reservations to some of the attractions, especially the Ulfizi gallery.

The ecosystem future
Once, when someone described an ecosystem, they would be talking about a biological community where living organisms interacted with each other and their environment – such as the coral reefs in our cover illustration. Then, about 10 or 15 years ago, it became hijacked by the business management community as a descriptor for an interconnected partner network. It achieved true buzzword status rapidly. Our theme for this second semester Prism of 2021, The ecosystem future, is about both meanings of the word. Thinking in an ecosystem way is becoming increasingly central to our strategies for the future, both to meet the critical challenges of climate change and the environment, and to grow new businesses sustainably through innovation. Indeed, there is a growing realization that, ultimately, you can't have one without the other anyway.
Our first article focuses on this point: how companies can leverage their partner ecosystems in the broadest sense to overcome key obstacles and finally bring about a true shift towards environmental ecosystem sustainability alongside business success. Food is certainly a key issue for securing a sustainable future, and in our second article we provide some highlights of a fascinating study into the future of food, conducted together with three leading companies in the food value chain. Anticipating how consumer and technology trends are disrupting the future is key. Having a clear sense of purpose and shaping the right partner ecosystems to respond will be essential. We then turn to healthcare and life sciences, a sector that has clearly been at the forefront of public awareness since the start of the pandemic. The success story of rapid vaccine development has been a salutary lesson in how working with partners in the right way can transform innovation speed.
We look at how hyper-collaboration – working not just with a few partners, but with many partners in highly collaborative ways – is transforming the industry as it faces a new "Future of Health" propelled by digital and data-driven technologies alongside new molecular treatments. Decarbonization of our transport systems is already underway, but there is still a long way to go. Everyone is aware of the move towards electric vehicles, but what about vehicles fueled by green hydrogen? Elon Musk has described the hydrogen solution as "staggeringly dumb", but the rest of the automotive industry is divided. In our article we explore the complexities of the case for hydrogen, and we conclude that the new hydrogen-based ecosystem is something that cannot be ignored by automotive companies.
Finally, we return to what is perhaps the original concept of a partner ecosystem, physical locations where diverse players can interact to co-innovate for mutual benefit – Innovation Districts. You might think that in the post-pandemic world of virtual working and digital communications, such locations are no longer so important. However, you would be wrong. Our article explains why Innovation Districts that are designed the right way will be crucial
Corporate sustainability – Using your ecosystem to sustain the ecosystem
Carlo Stella
It has been nearly 25 years since the Brundtland Report introduced the modern concept of sustainable development, highlighting its three fundamental components – the environment, the economy, and society. Yet since then, despite the many global, regional, and local goals, pledges, and initiatives, society has been largely ineffective in transforming discussions around sustainability into concrete and strategic actions.
Appetite for disruption – Making the most of the future of food
Being the leader of a global food and beverage business has been anything but easy over recent years. Going back a decade, the industry had a reputation for being fairly stable and conservative, dominated by a limited number of global brands that delivered steady growth and margins. Since then, the industry has been shaken by a succession of disruptions, including sluggish demand for traditional core products, rapidly changing consumer patterns and preferences, accelerating technological developments, and evolving attitudes towards the environmental and social impacts of food production.
Hyper-collaboration in the healthcare and life science industry – The new imperative
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the ability of the healthcare and life science industry to respond to unexpected needs with unprecedented speed. However, independent of the pandemic, the industry was already facing transformation in light of multiple, highly disruptive innovations not only in the traditional field of drug modalities but also in related fields such as digital, AI, data, and medical devices.
The role of hydrogen in building a sustainable future for automotive mobility
Transportation and mobility need to decarbonize and dramatically lower the sector's emissions. This is necessary not just from a regulatory perspective, but also because only a truly sustainable transportation and automotive industry will be able to maintain its importance and prosperity in the long run.
The Future of Innovation Districts
The way in which organizations innovate, and places where they are based to do this, have changed profoundly over the last decade due to two overall trends – convergence and disruption. Companies have moved away from closed innovation models to more open approaches in which organizations and places work in collaborative ecosystems and networks, forming "uncommon partnerships" between previously unrelated industries.

Dimples creates high quality fonts while saving ink. It is a no-brainer that everyone should use their fonts. Innoblue @ University Park used Dimples for the Penn State Innovation Expo programs which turned out fantastic. I am impressed by the standard of quality Dimples maintains with their ink-saving fonts.
Dimples is my favorite type of technical innovation; it is elegantly simple, reduces waste, and saves money without loss of quality. We have used it with much success at Saint Francis University and I believe it will soon become the default font for any practical, bottom-line-oriented organization.
Mid's Candy uses Dimples for printing packaging labels to save money on ink — we all need to watch our cost!
Dimples has given us the opportunity to save ink while maintaining our quality standards on our printed documents. We are a language services company dedicated to translating, copy writing, proof reading and interpreting. Our services need a lot of printing and Dimples' fonts have been really relevant to the needs of our business. We have not hesitated to recommend and promote Dimples to all our clients and partners.
Putting Dimples technology in place, Newspapers can cut ink costs without diminishing the quality of their products. The saving in ink consumption can be dramatic. Couple this ink savings with the brilliant business model in place, why wouldn't Newspapers be eager to adopt your technology?

This year we are lucky enough to celebrate Minterne's 50th Anniversary. The opening date of the school was 7th Jan 1965, and we are having a small activity afternoon 7th Jan 2015 to recognise the date. Our main celebrations will begin on 12th June when we hope to have a week of activities celebrating the school and its history in (hopefully!) beautiful weather. As plans are finalised, we will give more details. Look out for information on our website too!

The predominant approach to dealing with trauma in the US is through the expansion of mental health services and the adoption of trauma-informed care, both of which focus largely on individuals. Prevention Institute's Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience (ACE|R) Framework explains the need to understand trauma at the population level. It is the first framework of its kind to advance an understanding of community trauma and what to do about it.
Since PI released the framework in 2016, it has been implemented in communities throughout the country and incorporated into efforts to address violence, mental health and wellbeing, opioid misuse, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and climate resilience.
PI works with a breadth of partners and communities to develop strategies and practices to keep people healthy and safe in the first place. Below is a selection of ongoing or recent projects.
Communities of Care
Communities of Care is an initiative that supports collaborative approaches to wellbeing in the greater Houston Metropolitan Area, with a focus on children and youth of color and their families. Its goal is to strengthen efforts to transform the environments where people live, learn, work, play, and pray to support resilience, mental health, and wellbeing.
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Suicide Prevention Rapid Response Training & Technical Assistance Tools
COVID-19 and the national outcry for racial justice has illuminated a need for coordinated, culturally-specific and proactive ACEs and suicide prevention efforts. Through a cooperative agreement with the CDC, PI has partnered with the National League of Cities and Dr. Howard Pinderhughes to offer training and tools to local government and their partners in supporting their communities.
California Funders Workgroup for Prevention and Equity
PI provides technical assistance and policy analysis to this California funders workgroup: Blue Shield of California Foundation, The California Endowment, The California Wellness Foundation, Sierra Health Foundation, St. Joseph Community Partnership Fund, and Well Being Trust. The group is working to articulate a shared vision for community prevention and health equity, identify and support community priorities, and invest in strategies to close gaps in health and safety.
Supporting and studying Milwaukee's Blueprint for Peace
Building on our five years of working alongside the Milwaukee Office of Violence Prevention to develop the Blueprint for Peace, which is grounded in our Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience (ACE|R) framework, Prevention Institute is currently partnering with the Milwaukee Office of Violence Prevention to design a resident leadership and advocacy training focused on community organizing for community safety.
Publications & Other Resources
We research and write reports, white papers, fact sheets, opinion pieces, and journal articles, as well as produce videos and podcasts. Here are some of our latest offerings.
Beyond Screening: Achieving California's Bold Goal of Reducing Exposure to Childhood Trauma
California's state government can play a vital role in facilitating and supporting efforts to improve community-wide health, safety, and wellbeing, by reducing exposure to trauma, and increasing individual and community resilience. This report explores prevention and healing approaches that strengthen mental health and wellbeing, support communities to heal from trauma, and build community resilience.
What? Why? How? Answers to FAQ's about the ACE|R Framework
What? Why? How? Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About the Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience Framework builds off of core concepts in the Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience Framework and addresses questions that have emerged in early practice and implementation.
Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience: Learning from Practice
Since the initial development of the Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience Framework in 2016, multiple networks and communities have shared it, as well as adopted, adapted and/or implemented it to address and prevent community trauma. Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience: Learning from Practice reflects valuable lessons from their practice.
Milwaukee Blueprint for Peace
Milwaukee Health Department's Office of Violence Prevention engaged Prevention Institute to help facilitate the development of the Blueprint grounded in PI's Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience (ACE|R) framework. The Blueprint for Peace draws on community assets and best practices to focus on preventing violence before it occurs, as well as intervention efforts to ameliorate the impacts of violence and prevent future perpetration and victimization.
Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience: A Framework for Addressing and Preventing Community Trauma
This first-of-its-kind framework explores trauma at a community level. It explains how trauma is produced not only by experiencing interpersonal violence but also by experiencing structural violence – the harm that individuals, families, and communities experience from the economic and social structure; social institutions; and social relations of power, privilege and inequity that inhibit them from meeting their basic needs.
Minimizing the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences through a Focus on Adverse Community Experiences
Adverse community experiences – such as concentrated poverty, segregation from opportunity, and community violence – contribute to community trauma, which can exacerbate adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). This brief explains the relationship between ACEs and adverse community experiences, thus making the case for focusing on preventing and addressing trauma at the community level, in addition to the growing focus on individual trauma. It also provides examples of emerging strategies to address community trauma and build community resilience.
Fostering Resilience to Address and Prevent Community Trauma
PI's Rachel Davis and Board Member Howard Pinderhughes, have written a chapter in Violence and Trauma in the Lives of Children, a two volume textbook edited by Joy D. Osofsky and Betsy McAlister Groves, entitled "From Adverse Childhood Experiences to Adverse Community Experiences: Addressing and Preventing Community Trauma."
We have developed a broad range of practical, free-to-use tools to guide practitioners, advocates, and policymakers in planning and implementing prevention strategies. We also provide services to help you use our tools to create healthy and safe communities.
Making Connections Backpack
The Making Connections Backpack is a resource library for those engaged in building a gendered and community-level approach to improving mental wellbeing among men and boys. It offers tools to shape your journey, and connect with others engaged in or supporting similar upstream prevention work.
Profiles in Action
These profiles, written by PI and our partners, show what community prevention looks like on the ground, all across the country.
Milwaukee ACE|R Profile
In November 2017, Milwaukee released its Blueprint for Peace. Grounded in the Framework, the Blueprint identifies forms of violence and structural violence and draws on community assets and best practices to focus on preventing violence, as well as intervention efforts to ameliorate the impacts of violence and prevent future perpetration and victimization.
Ohio ACE|R Profile
Ohio's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is utilizing the Framework to drive its statewide opioid prevention efforts and strategy in partnership with 12 communities. They are specifically using ACE|R to build trauma-informed coalitions and identify drivers of substance misuse.
San Jose ACE|R profile
As one of eight communities in the California Accountable Communities for Health Initiative, the East San Jose Peace Partnership has used ACE|R as its overarching framework. This emphasis has helped the project to remain focused on community level change strategies and provided a structure for expanding its focus to address multiple forms of violence.
San Diego ACE|R profile
In City Heights in San Diego, CA, United Women of East Africa Support Team is addressing community trauma and building resilience in East African men and boys, using ACE|R as the organizing framework for their assessment, planning, and implementation efforts.
SF BRIDGE Housing ACE|R profile
Bridge Housing has advanced the notion of Trauma Informed Community Building and improved outcomes for people living in public housing through implementing strategies to address and prevent community trauma.

The E.M. Lindsay papers reflect the lifetime interests and work of Dr E.M. Lindsay. He was Director of the Armagh Observatory from 1937 until 1974, and instrumental in obtaining a secure funding line for the Observatory. Lindsay also founded the Armagh Planetarium in 1968. The papers consist of letters and manuscripts of his major publications on the Milky Way and its neighbour galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds, together with a wide range of administrative documents.
Provides an insight into the role of Armagh Observatory at a pivotal period in the development of Irish astronomy, both in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Lindsay also had many international connections, notably founding the Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard telescope in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and was a key player in both UK and Irish astronomy.

Home > News > Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV Have Their Release Date Delayed Once Again
Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV Have Their Release Date Delayed Once Again
by Petar Vukobrat in Overwatch | Nov, 3rd 2021
We have some pretty bad news for those who've been looking to get their hands on Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV: their release date has been pushed back to 2023 — at the earliest. Calling this a depressing bit of information would be an understatement. And yet somehow we're not surprised.
According to a novel report by Kotaku, Blizzard had disclosed this update during a recent conference call with investors. Both titles were announced at BlizzCon 2019 (a lifetime ago, it feels like), and the fact that they won't "see the light of day" until 2023 (at best) is quite heartbreaking. Moreover, the fact that Blizzard needs to hit a home run to stay afloat is also worrying seeing how the outlook is getting grimmer and grimmer by the minute.
Not a Good Look
"While we are still planning to deliver a substantial amount of content from Blizzard next year, we are now planning for a later launch for Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV than originally envisaged. It has become apparent that some of the Blizzard content planned for next year will benefit from more development time to reach its full potential," Activision Blizzard said in an official statement.
The Overwatch League will still compete on an early build of OW2 next April, so at least fans will get a good look at the sequel and all its many upgrades. Still, it's impossible not to be worried given the many layoffs over at Blizzard and their effect on both the company as a whole and game development in particular.
We're not fully convinced that pushing back the release date of Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV is going to result in a more polished experience further down the line. It stands to reason to expect such a thing, of course, but the issues that are plaguing Blizzard and its development teams simply cannot be solved in a few months' time.
Hopefully we're wrong on this one, but it's getting harder and harder not to sound the alarms.

If you wish to succeed on real estate investing, this article will provide you on some things that you should consider following. It's essential to be willing to commit to some things when you wish to become successful with real estate investing.
Real estate is something that's not purchased, held or is being sold on emotion. Real estate investing is also not your lovelife and is all about the return on investment. This actually is why real estate investors must always consider some things first so they are able to know the potential benefits in holding, buying and in selling an income property investment.
The amount of money which comes from rents and other income from operating expenses and debt services will determine the cash flow of a property. Also, real estate investing is all about investment property cash flow. You are making a purchase for a rental property income stream, which would be the reason why it is very important to rely on the numbers later in calculating the cash flow and to ensure that it is correct.
Appreciation is the growth in value of a property or the future selling price minus its original purchase price. The real estate investors in fact purchases the income stream of the investment property. This actually is why the more income which you sell, the more you could expect your property to worth. This in fact is why you must consider on an increase on income and make this a part of your decision-making.
You should consider creating a real estate investment goal that has meaningful objectives. Consider having a plan with stated goals which will best partner your investment strategy because it is one of the most essential elements towards a successful investing.
Implement research on your market. It is really important that you will understand on the conditions of a real estate market which surrounds on the rental property you wish to purchase, which is a crucial approach to real estate investing. See to it that you also learn on the property values, rents and occupancy rates in the area. You may consider a qualified real estate professional or speak with a tax assessor.
You should try to learn on the terms and returns and with how you can complete it. You should also become familiar on the issues of real estate investing as well as to learn on the calculations, terms and formulas.
These are crucial things which you should take note on real estate investing. Just take note about these things and partner this with common sense and you will surely end just fine.

Forecasters have upgraded Tropical Storm Matthew to a hurricane. The National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Matthew continues its march westward in the Caribbean Sea. The Category One storm has maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. Forecast models show the storm then taking a turn directly to the north, possibly impacting Jamaica, Haiti, or Cuba before coming close to the U.S. eastern seaboard.
The job outlook in Louisiana this year isn't too good for much of the state as the latest numbers show the state is set to lose 17,000 positions. LSU economist Dr. Loren Scott says job growth will remain flat in Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria and New Orleans, while Baton Rouge and Lake Charles will see employment gains because of the industrial boom. He says the struggle in Houma/Thibodaux & Acadiana is due to low oil prices. Scott doesn't believe the flooding will impact the economy but will create an uptick in construction employment.
The Thibodaux Police Department says a man is under arrest after cops say he threatened to blow up a building. They say 59-year-old Monty Savoy of Thibodaux was at a bank when he tried to get into a political discussion with an employee and threatened to blow up the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office. He is charged with Communicating False Information of Planned Arson.
An explosion lit up the sky at Camp Minden in Webster Parish around 5:00 Thursday morning. The Louisiana National Guard reports a storage bunker filled with M6 propellant exploded. Crews have been working around the clock to destroy these 15 million pounds of explosives, which were improperly stored several years ago. Louisiana State Police is conducting an investigation into the blast and they say it could happen again. Over 6.2 million pounds of the propellant has been destroyed since the operation began in April.
Congress has approved $400 million for flood recovery efforts in Louisiana, but when that money will be available to flood victims is still up in the air. Lafayette City-Parish president Joel Robideaux says people are looking for answers, and that's something local officials can't give them right now. Robideaux says 4-thousand homes were impacted in Lafayette parish.
The Deepwater Horizon movie premieres in theaters today and shows the story of the lives lost during the 2010 rig explosion off the coast of Louisiana. Lt Governor Billy Nungesser was the president of Plaquemines Parish when 11 crew members were killed in the worst offshore oil disaster in U.S. history and he says this movie accurately portrayed what went on during the blast. The movie was filmed in Louisiana.
One man is behind bars and another is wanted after they posed as FEMA personnel. Police say the men knocked on the door of a home in Tangipahoa parish claiming they worked for FEMA. They then allegedly produced a handgun and pushed their way into the home, shooting one of the residents in the stomach and critically wounding him.
New FEMA flood maps go into effect today impacting three southeast Louisiana parishes. FEMA Assistant Administrator, David Maurstad, says 60-thousand homeowners who are currently in the high risk mandatory purchase area are moving to a low to moderate risk, which means flood insurance is no longer federally required by lenders and residents might be eligible for lower rates on their policy. The changes to the FEMA flood maps will impact residents in Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes.
Wildest Show in the South gets underway this weekend, as the Angola Rodeo returns Sunday on the grounds of the state prison. Angola spokesperson Gary Young says the rodeo is held every Sunday in October, and the gates open at 9am.
:A Desoto Parish man said he wanted to bring a smile to the faces of his northwest Louisiana community, so he posted a now viral video of him dancing around his wife's bed as she was in labor to "The Baby Momma Dance." 29-year-old Sky Jones says he made the video to cheer up the people in his hometown.

Reprint of APRIL 6th Chart.
Today's open market trading will be DAY 49. Remember also, that the 'correction' in January began in EARNEST on the Tuesday after OPEX WEEK. Today is is an OPEX Friday.
The P2 "rally" wave (after the Stock Market crash in October, 1929 lasted until April 16th, 1930). So HAPPY 80th Birthday!
Is It April 1930 All Over Again?
That last leg up to the very top in April 1930 took on a similar slow-motion grind like the recent one. From the top in April 1930, investors and traders experienced 27 months of hell as the Dow completely collapsed until it finally hit the bottom in July 1932.
What's interesting is the DJIA had several failed rallies (+19.3%, +27%, +31%, +39%, and +28%) on its way to falling 86% from that 1930 top.
If the DJIA continues to repeat the 1929-32 sequence of market events, we're talking about a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 1500 somewhere in 2012.
The first loss of 7729 points on the DJIA from October 2007 to March 2009 will look like an absolute picnic if this final down leg in fact materializes. The good news? From 1929-32 there were several mini bull market moves mixed in with that 86% decline.
I expect to see a lot of George Soros types running around within 27 months from now. Let's all exchange e-mails so we can all buy property together in the Hamptons for when that day arrives!
Bullish spinning top day. Could be start of an evening star pattern (third day needs to gap lower). Stayed above the 1.786 fibo (using low) of 1190.89 (next is the 1.8276 at 1218.63). Midpoint above 10 SMA. New high on daily 3LB with reversal now 1196.48. QE2infinity.
Bullish short day. Closed below 21 SMA. Closed below the 55 SMA. Midpoint below 10 SMA. No daily 3LB changes. Now trading back above the weekly 3LB reversal at 80.44.
Bullish doji day. Still showing traders are not fearful. Did not test the 61.8% fibo ext (support). Midpoint of candle is below 10 SMA. Five days of indecision. Weird. No daily 3LB changes.
Hanging man day. Still above all SMA's. Tested the 38.2% fibo ext and passed (barely). No daily 3LB changes.
Bearish long day. Midpoint above the 10 SMA. Closed below the 55 SMA. Next fibo level of 1.2935 is still a target in case of weakness (don't worry it's coming). No daily 3LB changes.
Bullish spinning top day. Negated evening star. Held the 61.8% fibo ext. Tested the 85.4% fibo ext and failed. New high on daily 3LB with reversal now 576.45. *Currently getting killed in after hours post earnings.
We did nothing. So far this week, our not trading has correlated with our not losing any money... we are clearly geniuses at Schadenfreude Asset Mgmt. "If you don't know what to do, do nothing.."
"Or, even if you DID SOMETHING, say you KNOW NOTHING"
Morning Audibles 4.15.10 - TAXMAN COMETH!
Whatever you do... EVERYONE... Just remember the following... Despite the INEVITABILITY that "These [aforementioned] birds will have FLOWN", someday... Simply remember, in the end... YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!
Morning Audibles 4.14.10 - Can't Drive 55?
"One foot on the pedal, and one on the brakes"... Can YOU drive 55?
Everybody knows the story - It's DAYS away - (or hours -or minutes). Please hang around... Oh Yeah!
Morning Audibles 4.12.10 - Wait, did I say Audible?
In football, an "audible" is where the quarterback comes to the line of scrimmage, surveys the defense, and may decide in that moment to "audible" to an alternative play selection if he feels either that the play that was called would not be a successful one (because it appears to be properly defensed, or, if a different play might expose some weakness. Basically, when you see Peyton Manning flapping his arms around like Morris Day doing "The Bird", you know an audible is coming.
It appears that nevermore in the history of the New York Stock Exchange will an audible be required. The playbook is simple. Cover all shorts on Friday. Sleep happy and long over the weekends, and you'll wake up Monday, and be "magically" richer by owning stocks. It's really that easy folks!
So I'm not going to offer any more insights here. I'm going to K-I-S-S. Buy stocks, they go up forever! They don't even decline by 1%. If they ever do go down by 1%. Beg, borrow, and steal (kind of the way our world governments do things).
Greece, over the weekend. (They're the "beg" & "borrowers" - or, should I say, "first in line to do such"). But read the fine print people. Here's what was actually said. "This decision today was no decision on aid for Greece," Finance Minstry spokesman Michael Offer told Dow Jones Newswires. "But it was only about technical preconditions for aid by further specifying the decision of the heads of state and governments. We expect, we hope that Greece is now in a situation where it can continue to refinance itself on the capital markets, as previously."
What CV reads is that there was NO DECISION (until certain criteria were met). Doesn't matter... It's a reason to buy Euros, sell Dollars, and pump the S&P (while everyone was distracted watching golf - congrats Phil!).
Andy T has again given us his "technical" view on the matter. The following is a reprint of his Sunday afternoon thread (which I will make a habit of featuring as the Monday morning thread). Andy's charts offer a "calmer" picture of potential levels (and possibly durations of data points that get processed through the meat grinder which are the capital markets). Good luck people!
Lastly, CV would REALLY like to express his congrats and best wishes for Phil & Amy Mickleson and family. It was a great moment in what has been a difficult period!
This weekend's thoughts were dedicated to the DXY which has achieved all of the price and duration targets we had been expecting. It's probably time for longer term investors to take a few chips off the table. I would not advocate completely exiting long positions, but there is a decent chance of decline back to 78, giving us better levels to buy back in for the next phase of this bull market. The risk is that my count is incorrect and the market will just keep on chugging higher. For this reason, it would be prudent for longer term traders/investors to stay at least a little bit long (maybe 25-33% of a max long position?).
Traders who want to short this market should use 81.91 as a "stop loss." Alternatively, those who want to stay long this market should use 79.50 as "stop loss." That 79.50 has been good support for awhile now, hasn't it?
I don't have a report on the S&P because there's not much new here from last week. The market has not yet "peaked" and seems destined to print a 1200 handle. Short term support for the S&P futures is now 1183 and 1171. So, it won't make sense to bail on length or initiate shorts until 1171 is taken out on the futures.
Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. Good luck in the week ahead.

eQTL Catalogue: a compendium of uniformly processed human gene expression and splicing QTLs
genomics view on bioRxiv
By Nurlan Kerimov, James D. Hayhurst, Kateryna Peikova, Jonathan R. Manning, Peter Walter, Liis Kolberg, Marija Samoviča, Manoj Pandian Sakthivel, Ivan Kuzmin, Stephen J. Trevanion, Tony Burdett, Simon Jupp, Helen Parkinson, Irene Papatheodorou, Andrew Yates, Daniel R. Zerbino, Kaur Alasoo
bioRxiv DOI: 10.1101/2020.01.29.924266
An increasing number of gene expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies have made summary statistics publicly available, which can be used to gain insight into complex human traits by downstream analyses, such as fine mapping and colocalisation. However, differences between these datasets, in their variants tested, allele codings, and in the transcriptional features quantified, are a barrier to their widespread use. Consequently, target genes for most GWAS signals have still not been identified. Here, we present the eQTL Catalogue (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/), a resource which contains quality controlled, uniformly recomputed QTLs from 21 eQTL studies. We find that for matching cell types and tissues, the eQTL effect sizes are highly reproducible between studies, enabling the integrative analysis of these data. Although most cis-eQTLs were shared between most bulk tissues, the analysis of purified cell types identified a greater diversity of cell-type-specific eQTLs, a subset of which also manifested as novel disease colocalisations. Our summary statistics can be downloaded by FTP, accessed via a REST API, and visualised on the Ensembl genome browser. New datasets will continuously be added to the eQTL Catalogue, enabling the systematic interpretation of human GWAS associations across many cell types and tissues.

Company Tax and VAT
Important tax changes for non-doms

Chasing outstanding debts from an individual or sole trader? The process has changed
Outstanding payments can be a major headache for SMEs as they can have a significant effect on cashflow and seeking payment can take up time that would be better spent on running the business.
In fact, according to Bacs, the not-for-profit entity that runs the eponymous payment service, late payments cost UK SMEs more than £2 billion each year.
This means that recent changes to the procedures for pursuing a debt owed by an individual or a sole trader before taking court action are likely to be of widespread interest.
Indeed, it is a good idea for all business owners to be familiar with the procedures, should an issue arise.
The new Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims came into force on 1 October 2017.
It applies to all businesses, including sole traders, who are seeking payment of a debt from an individual, again including sole traders.
It only applies to business cases where the debtor is a sole trader. It does not apply where other Pre-Action Protocols are in effect, such as in relation to construction claims.
No Pre-Action Protocol previously existed in respect of Debt Claims, but businesses were expected to comply with the Practice Direction for Pre-Action Conduct.
The new Pre-Action Protocol sets out specific steps that businesses need to follow and details the required content of the letters that must be sent to the debtor prior to court action.
It also contains an information sheet and reply form that should be sent to the debtor.
The Protocol is intended to resolve more cases before court action is necessary.

Now kids can bring their made-up monsters to life with MOYUPI.
Did you ever make up some fantastical creatures as a kid that you wished existed as actual toys? Maybe you tried to put your parents to work helping you mold them out of clay? MOYUPI promises to make kids' creatures even more real through the magic of 3D printing and a little hand-painting.
The company uses digital modeling software to prepare your creature (or MOYUPI) for 3D printing, and then renders them in kid-friendly, durable ABS plastic. Due to the rudimentary nature of color 3D printing and the creators' desire to precisely follow directions, color is carefully added to the designs by hand. MOYUPI can be rendered in three different sizes (15cm, 10cm and 7cm) and two types of boxes designed by Brazilian artist and illustrator Mayra Magalhães, and can also be shipped without paint so kids can do it themselves.
The limitations of 3D printing that the creators have encountered also happen to sync up fairly well with many children's drawings; for example, irregular shapes are considered ideal for making a MOYUPI, but stick figures and other designs below a minimum thickness can't be accepted. The MOYUPI project also encourages children to be original, as the creators can't print licensed characters like Spongebob or Elsa (but they can print designs inspired by them).
An early-bird special allows backers who pledge $34 or more to receive a small MOYUPI figure as well as a Maxi Pack; a special XXL size (30 cm high) for $114 will also only be available during the special Kickstarter campaign. A variety of other configurations, some geared toward multiple kids and families, should be a great opportunity for kids and adults alike to unleash their creativity.
"The material I would like to use for the Moyupi is a rubber-like one, in order to make them even more friendly and resistant. That's a possibility we are currently researching," said Medina. Stretch goals also include a video game, YouTube series and research into making posable, articulated figures: all promising ideas for a kids' brand.
Introducing 'Uberblox', the Modern Equivalent of Lego!
Uberblox: The Lego of the 3D printer age?
As cool and wonderful as Lego is, those plastic bricks can be tricky to handle if you want to step up from mere constructive play into serious custom-built prototyping. UberBlox hopes to fill that gap. It's a metal construction set and prototyping system with a single-connector locking mechanism and a variety of control boxes for accommodating whatever computer connection or automation needs a project might have.
UberBlox was born of the need for a solid, easy-to-use modular system that enables makers to build and test their robots, 3D printers, smart systems, and other computer-programmed automated machines. Pirseyedi notes that, while the traditional plastic building block sets "are great for quickly and easily making something," they can't handle the kind of rigidity and accuracy these automated machines require. UberBlox, he argues, bridges the gap by combining the lower barrier of entry of something like Lego with the higher technical needs of a typical maker.
As for specific examples of what UberBlox might be helpful to produce or prototype, Pirseyedi has suggestions. The big one his team is pushing is 3D printing, with much of the marketing material revealed so far showing how the kit can become a functioning 3D printer. If you really just want a 3D printer, of course, you can buy one preassembled or packaged in a more tailored kit. But UberBlox is for the curious. It's targeted at people who "have a desire to make their own so that they can learn engineering and technical skills as well as be able to tweak their system however they like," says Pirseyedi.
Moreover, he adds, UberBlox allows for quick and easy testing of new design ideas for either entire 3D printing systems or portions of them, which is a popular pursuit of many in the maker community, without getting bogged down in the fabrication process. "After all, that is one of the reasons we've had such an explosion in interest in low-cost 3D printers in the past couple of years," he says.
Besides 3D printers, the system could also "easily" be used to build loads of different types of robots, including manipulator arms, rovers, and humanoids, as well as laser cutting and engraving or CNC milling and routing machines.
It isn't clear yet exactly what parts will be included in UberBlox kits, but they will include both basic blocks and reconfigurable parts, such as motors, moving components, electronics, and "Brain-Box" controllers for do-it-yourself boards, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It sounds like there'll be multiple configuration options, but the UberBlox team is keeping the details quiet on this and pricing until it launches a Kickstarter campaign later this month.
The upcoming UberBlox Kickstarter will also reveal how the connection mechanism works, and if it surpasses its goal the team may be able to develop a 3D software tool designed specifically for drag-and-drop assembly of virtual UberBlox parts to aid in the design process. Regardless of any stretch goals, the team will release 3D models of UberBlox parts to backers "at some point in time" so that they can play around with them in their CAD or 3D modelling software of choice.
