Freehold Corner Residential Shophouse at Everton Road For Sale by Expression of Interest
Shaun Poh • 22/09/2020
A freehold conservation shophouse at 9 Everton Road (the "Property"), has been put up for sale via an Expression of Interest exercise by Cushman & Wakefield, the appointed exclusive marketing agent.
The subject property is a charming two-storey corner shophouse with an attic, in the Blair Plain Conservation Area which sits on a land area of 2,023 sq ft and has a built-up area of approximately 4,000 sq ft. The site is zoned residential under the 2019 Master Plan and it is within the prime District 2. The Outram Park MRT Station and the upcoming Cantonment MRT Station are located less than 600m away from the subject property. The area was historically a residential area for wealthy businessmen and has retained the same profile and identity over the decades.
Mr. Shaun Poh, Executive Director of Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield, says "This is a rare opportunity for discerning home seekers or investors looking to own shophouse assets within the Blair Plain Conservation Area as the supply is extremely limited; only four units have transacted in the last two years. A corner unit is even more scarce in supply."
Mr Poh also added that, "Freehold landed homes in prime central districts are always highly sought after by investors for their excellent capital appreciation potential and their great appeal to expatriate tenants as such properties offer a spacious and unique living space while being conveniently located near the Central Business District."
The indicative price for the Property is $7.5 million. The Tender exercise closes on 20 October 2020 (Tuesday), at 3.00pm.

The standard home inspector's report will review the condition of the home's heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and the visible structure.
The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy so that you may minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties afterwards. Of course, a home inspection also points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good condition. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase.
If you are already a home owner, a home inspection may be used to identify the problems "in the making" and to learn preventive measures which might avoid costly future repairs. If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have an inspection prior to placing your home on the market. This will give you a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's inspector and the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
Even the most experienced home owner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional home inspector who has inspected hundreds, perhaps thousands, of homes in his or her career. An inspector is familiar with the many elements of home construction, and their proper installation and maintenance. He or she understands how the home's systems and components are intended to function together, as well as how and why they fail.
Above all, most buyers find it very difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they really want and this may affect their judgment. For the most accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial third-party opinion by an expert in the field of home inspection.
A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of your prospective home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value, or a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what may need repair or replacement.
The American Society of Home inspectors (ASHI) is the oldest and leading nonprofit professional association for independent home inspectors. Since its formation in 1976, ASHI's "Standards of Practice" have served as the home inspector's performance guideline, universally recognized and accepted by professional and government authorities alike. Copies of the Standards of Practice are available free from ASHI.
ASHI's professional Code of Ethics prohibits Members from engaging in conflict of interest activities which might compromise their objectivity. This is the consumer's assurance that the inspector will not, for example, use the inspection to solicit or refer repair work. In order to assist home inspectors in furthering their education, ASHI sponsors a number of technical seminars and workshops throughout the year, often in cooperation with one of its many Chapters. ASHI also serves as a public interest group by providing accurate and helpful consumer information to home buyers on home purchasing and home maintenance.
Members of ASHI are independent professional home inspectors who have met the most rigorous technical and experience requirements in effect today. To become an ASHI Member, an inspector must pass two written technical exams, have performed a minimum of 250 professional fee-paid inspections and maintained his or her candidate status for no less than six months. ASHI Members are required to follow the Society's Code of Ethics and to obtain continuing education credits in order to keep current with the latest in building technology, materials, and professional skills.
A home inspector is typically contacted right after the contract or purchase agreement has been signed and is often available within a few days. However, before you sign, be sure that there is an inspection clause in the contract, making your purchase obligation contingent upon the findings of a professional home inspection. This clause should specify the terms to which both the buyer and seller are obligated.
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. A seller may adjust the purchase price or contract terms if major problems are found. If your budget is tight, or if you do not wish to become involved in future repair work, this information will be extremely important to you.
The answer is yes, and that is not only because we are in the business. Many families today have to scrimp and save to have the money to buy their first home or to move up to a larger home that meets their needs. When your budget is already stretched to the max a home inspection just makes good sense. Knowing as much as you can about the condition of a home can help prevent unpleasant surprises down the road. If the household budget is already stretched, an unexpected problem or condition may very well destroy your budget.
Can't I just get my friend who works in construction to take a look at the house?
Sure you can, but are they trained to use a systematic approach to examine the home and its components. Our inspection takes from two to three hours to complete and we work our way through the home system by system and room by room. Will your friend provide a written report that you can use to make decisions about asking for repairs to be made or negotiating the final sales price? Our inspection and final report provides you with information you can use to make informed decisions about the home you are considering.
We are getting an FHA loan and we were told that FHA inspects the house. Do I still need an independent Inspection?
The FHA appraiser will come out and look at the home to determine its value. They have a short list of items that they "inspect" to make sure the home meets the minimum standard that the FHA allows in order to give you a loan. The FHA knows that its minimum standards check is not the same as a professional home inspection and that is why they strongly recommend that you have a separate professional inspection of the home.
Should we attend the inspection?
Please do! - Attending the inspection is not required but it is strongly recommended. By attending the inspection, you will see the things that the inspector sees first hand. You will be able to observe the inspection process and ask questions directly as you learn about the condition of the house, how its systems work, and how to maintain it. You will also find the written report easier to understand if you attend the inspection.
What can we do if problems are found with the house?
When problems are found with the house, you should discuss the finding of the inspection with your attorney or the real estate agent to decide how best to proceed. Most real estate contracts have provisions about inspections and making repairs. It is important that you understand the provisions of your contract concerning inspections before you sign the contract.
Asking the seller to make the needed repairs.
Asking the seller to adjust the purchase price.
Paying for the repairs on your own.
Deciding not to buy the home.
If you request that the seller make repairs, we always recommend that licensed professionals make all of the needed repairs.

Apple iPhone XR Starting Price of Rs 76,900 in India Makes Little Sense
Anmol Sachdeva -
Anmol Sachdeva
Last Updated: September 13, 2018 3:34 am
Alongside the iPhone XS and XS Max, Apple also unveiled the much-awaited iPhone XR (whose name was leaked prior to the launch event) that brings up the rear in the new iPhone lineup.
As per Apple's official press release, the iPhone XR, which we expected to be affordable, has been priced starting at Rs 76,900. This is yet another example of the Apple's bonkers pricing; the $749 price tag announced on stage comes up to around Rs 53,900, when converted, but the actual price is almost 50 percent more. To compare, the iPhone X is still available in India for around Rs 85,000.
The iPhone XR will be up for pre-order in India on October 19 next month, alongside 50 other countries and territories, and will start shipping from October 26.
iPhone XR: Key Specs
Coming to the specs, the iPhone XR sports a 6.1-inch "Liquid Retina" LCD display, with huge black bezels, that sits inside a 7-Series aluminum body. It does look stunning and is on par with the higher-end flagships launched today.
The device is powered by the latest A12 Bionic chipset (not just any old processor, like the ones included on the budget iPhone SE). The chipset comes with six CPU cores, a quad-core GPU and is built on Fusion architecture under a 7nm process.
In contrast to the dual rear-camera setup on the iPhone XS series, the iPhone XR comes with a single 12MP rear camera. This is the same sensor as the main rear camera on the iPhone XS and XS Max. There's also the same 7MP selfie camera on board, with the bokeh mode and AI features intact. Looks like Apple is towing Google's line on adding AI features to a single camera lens.
The device comes with dual SIM capabilities, wireless charging, and a whole lot more. iPhone XR uses LTE Advanced and introduces Dual SIM through the use of a nano-SIM and digital eSIM.
Here's a quick look at the specs of the iPhone XS Max:
Display 6.1-inch LCD Liquid Retina (1792x828p, 326ppi)
Processor hexa-core A12 Bionic (7nm chip)
Internal Storage 64GB, 128GB and 256GB
Primary Camera 12MP wide-angle (f/1.8), with OIS, Quad-LED true-tone flash
Secondary Camera 7MP (f/2.2)
Operating System iOS 12
Battery n.a
IP Rating Yes, IP67
Connectivity dual-SIM, LTE Advanced, Bluetooth 5.0, wireless charging
The iPhone XR will be available in six different color variants, namely white, black, blue, yellow, coral, and even a PRODUCT(RED) one. So, are you looking forward to purchase iPhone XR or does last year's iPhone X still look like an attractive deal? Let us know in comments down below.
Ashfaq Mehmood Sep 13, 2018 At 12:50 pm
I am curious to know who will buy this XD
Anmol Sachdeva Sep 13, 2018 At 1:24 pm
Well, Ashfaq, I think more people will buy the iPhone XR over the XS or XS Max because of the price and almost similar experience that it boasts. I know, it has been priced quite high when compared to the U.S pricing but it's still cheaper than the new XS models!

Browns notebook: Russell returns to Cleveland
Steve Doerschuk
Browns notes from Oct. 31.
It's not that Brian Russell turned the Browns into the 1985 Bears. It's just that Russell, in retrospect, appears to have been a strength of the 2005 and 2006 Browns defenses. Without him calling out signals and breaking up deep throws, the Browns are last in the league in allowing 410.1 yards a game. They have given up 18 touchdown passes. No hard feelings, says Russell, who returns Sunday as a member of he Seattle Seahawks. "The year I went to Cleveland," Russell said, "they drafted Brodney (Pool). They drafted Sean (Jones) the year before. "I'm sure they looked at those two as the future." The present has been rocky with Jones not matching his breakout year of 2006, when he regarded Russell as a mentor, and Pool underwhelming in his first full year as a starter. The Seahawks used free agency to fill both of this year's starting safety jobs, signing Russell and Deon Grant. "I couldn't be more pleased with Brian," Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren said. "He's done what we really need the safety position to do." Namely: Keep deep receivers in front and tackle running backs when asked to play in the box. Seattle's defense is allowing 90 yards a game less than Cleveland's. Russell, though, seems convinced Browns head coach Romeo Crennel knows what he's doing. "I really liked playing for Romeo," Russell said. "He was a big reason I was considered staying with Cleveland." The Browns weren't willing to pay him starter money because they liked the upside of the Jones-Pool tandem. Russell left, taking a piece of Crennel with him. "I learned a whole lot from Romeo in terms of how he game plans and prepares every week ... the way he'll quiz you and make sure you're on top of everything," Russell said. "I took a lot from his approach. I carried that with me here." They Meet Again Russell didn't see the Charlie Frye trade coming. "It was a shock," Russell said of the Sept. 12 deal that sent Frye to Seattle. "One day, I'm watching him on ESPN in a Browns uniform. The next, he's two lockers down from me in Seattle." Russell said Frye has come to accept Seattle as a livable situation. "Matte Hasselbeck is a very willing mentor," Russell said. QBs coach Jim Zorn is in the Seahawks' Ring of Honor based on his playing career. Making Nice Russell was in the middle of one of last year's most uncomfortable locker-room incidents in Cleveland. Braylon Edwards called him out for a ringing hit on Chad Johnson late in a game that was out of hand in Cincinnati. A smooth talker, Russell talked around the incident Wednesday. Russell has been on two teams with major receiving talents, Minnesota (Randy Moss) and Cleveland (Edwards). "Both are unique and special," Russell said. "Randy has played a lot more years. If Braylon keeps doing what he's doing, he can be as good as anybody." Who Said That? Some scouting reports said Frye bore some resemblance to Brett Favre when Frye was coming out in the 2005 draft. That hadn't occurred to Mike Holmgren, who has coached both Favre and Frye. "Charlie is very quiet around me," Holmgren said. "Favre was very noisy around me." Holmgren did say Frye does show elements of Favre's "tough guy" persona. Injury Report Ankle injuries suffered at St. Louis kept linebackers D'Qwell Jackson and Kris Griffin out of practice Wednesday. Jackson leads the Browns in tackles. Griffin leads the team in special teams tackles. Running back Jamal Lewis, gaining strength in the wake of a foot injury, put in a full practice. So did special teams stalwart Darnell Dinkins (hand). Nose tackle Ted Washington (limited) dressed but was limited. Wideout's Father Injured Joe Jurevicius was late to practice Wednesday because he was visiting his father, who was injured Monday in a traffic accident on Interstate 90.

Der visuelle Cortex (auch Sehrinde) ist der Teil der Großhirnrinde, der zum visuellen System zählt, welches wiederum die visuelle Wahrnehmung ermöglicht. Der visuelle Cortex nimmt den Großteil des Occipitallappens des Gehirns ein. Nach der Hirnkarte von Korbinian Brodmann entsprechen ihm die Areale 17, 18 und 19. Er wird in die primäre Sehrinde (V1) und sekundäre bzw. tertiäre (assoziative, V2–V5) Bereiche unterteilt. Histologisch zeichnet ihn bei Primaten die hohe Zelldichte und die vergleichsweise geringe Dicke (beim Menschen 1,5–2 mm) aus. Das Areal 17 (auch Area striata) repräsentiert unmittelbar die gegenseitige Hälfte des Gesichtsfeldes und ist "retinotop" aufgebaut, was bedeutet, dass auf der Netzhaut (Retina) nebeneinander abgebildete Punkte auch hier nebeneinander liegen. Die Zellen, die die Fovea repräsentieren, sind dabei deutlich überrepräsentiert und nehmen etwa die Hälfte der Area striata ein.

Primäre visuelle Rinde (V1)

Histologie
Der primäre visuelle Cortex (Brodmann-Areal 17, V1; Area striata) ist wie der gesamte Neocortex (unterschieden von Archi- und Paläocortex) in sechs Schichten eingeteilt:
 Schicht I: Molekularschicht
 Schicht II: äußere Körnerschicht
 Schicht III: äußere Pyramidenschicht
 Schicht IV: innere Körnerschicht
 Schicht V: innere Pyramidenzellschicht
 Schicht VI: multiforme Schicht.

Neben der Schichtenorganisation ergibt sich in V1, wie im übrigen Cortex auch, eine kolumnäre (säulenartige) Struktur, die hier jeweils eine Orientierung wiedergibt.

Afferenzen und innere Organisation
Das primäre visuelle Cortexareal V1 verfügt über eine besonders dicke Schicht IV. Hier enden viele afferente Fasern der Neurone des Corpus geniculatum laterale (CGL). Die Schicht IV wird weiter unterteilt in A, B und C, C wiederum in Cα und Cβ. In Schicht IVCα enden die Axone der magnozellulären Schichten 1 und 2 des CGL. Diese Neurone wiederum leiten sich von Ganglienzellen der Netzhaut mit großen rezeptiven Feldern ab, die eine hohe zeitliche aber geringe räumliche Auflösung aufweisen. Die Arbeiten von David Hubel und Torsten Wiesel erbrachten die Erkenntnis, dass Neurone der Schicht IVCα orientierungsselektiv sind. Einzelne Gruppen dieser Zellen antworten jeweils auf visuelle Reize entlang des Zentrums ihrer länglichen rezeptiven Felder bis zu einer Abweichung von 10°. Diese Zellen werden simple cells genannt. Sie projizieren in die Schicht IVB, wo sie binokular verschaltet werden und Richtungsselektivität aufweisen (M-Kanal).

Parvozelluläre Neurone der Schichten III–VI des CGL enden in Schicht IVCβ sowie zum geringen Teil in der Schicht IVA und I. Sie erhalten Afferenzen der Ganglienzellen mit kleinen rezeptiven Feldern (Fovea), zeigen Farbsensitivität und besitzen eine hohe räumliche Auflösung.

Aus den Eingängen der Schicht IVCα erhalten weitere Cortexareale die Informationen über Bewegungen im visuellen Feld. Aus den Eingängen der Schicht IVCβ erhalten andere Cortexareale die Informationen über Form und teilweise Farbe von Objekten im visuellen Feld.

Läsionen von magnozellulären Schichten bei Affen hatten zur Folge, dass diese die Fähigkeit der Bewegungswahrnehmung verloren, wohingegen eine Schädigung der parvozellulären Schichten die Wahrnehmung von Farbe, feinen Texturen sowie Formen und räumlicher Tiefe verhinderte.

Die Schicht IV weist okulare Dominanzbänder auf, auch als Okuläre Dominanzsäulen bezeichnet, die sich durch retrograden axonalen Transport von radioaktivem Prolin (oder anderen Aminosäuren) darstellen lassen.

Sekundäre und tertiäre visuelle Rinde (V2–V5)

Der V2 wird nach den Arealen von Korbinian Brodmann in Areal 18 verortet und hat eine Streifenstruktur, die sich durch histologische Färbung der Cytochromoxidaseaktivität sichtbar machen lässt. Diese Streifen werden nach Livingstone und Hubel (1988) für die Verarbeitung von einzelnen Aspekten der Wahrnehmung, Form, Wahrnehmung und Stereosehen in Verbindung gebracht und haben dann Efferenzen in die höheren Hirnareale.

Nach der Verschaltung in V1 und V2 teilt sich die Verarbeitung in einen dorsalen Pfad durch den Parietallappen, in die motorischen Areale entlang der Zentralfurche und einen ventralen Pfad, der in die Areale des Temporallappens führt, denen man den Anfang der Objekterkennung zuschreibt. Dem ventralen Pfad werden unter anderem V4 und der inferotemporale Cortex zugerechnet. Der dorsale Pfad läuft durch V5 (auch mediotemporaler Cortex genannt). Die Assoziationscortices sind allerdings insgesamt nicht so genau kartiert wie z. B. V1, da sich interindividuelle Unterschiede ergeben.

AMHERST, Mass. – The Wesleyan University women's lacrosse team lost a difficult NESCAC match-up on the road Wednesday night to Little Three rival and No. 7 Amherst College, 10-5.
Amherst took an early 4-0 lead and never looked back.
Wesleyan was led by Julia Black '18, who scored two goals, while Meredith Smith '17, Becca Phillips '17 and Dana Mitchell '18 all registered one each. Breanna Cavanaugh '19 dished out the lone Cardinal assist, while three players grabbed two ground balls – Black, Rachel Aronow '17 and Meghan Kelly '17. Nina Labovich '16 made six saves in net for Wesleyan.
Rachel Passarelli led all players with four goals, while Dakota Foster added two. Mia Haughton totaled four points on one goal and three assists, while Coco Kusiak, Kelly Karczewski and Kate Wyeth all tallied a goal each. Hanna Krueger led all players with five ground balls, and Christy Forrest made eight stops between the posts.
Amherst outshot Wesleyan 25-14, but Wesleyan claimed a 9-7 advantage in draw controls, went 8-for-9 in clear attempts and went 2-for-6 on free position shots. Amherst also recorded 12 turnovers, while Wesleyan registered 11.
The first half was all Amherst as the home team went ahead 3-0 early, including two goals just 27 seconds apart, and increased its lead to four with 2:30 to play before the break. Passarelli scored three of the team's four goals, while Haughton assisted on two of those scores.
Mitchell snapped Amherst's run, and put Wesleyan on the board with a free position goal at the 1:21 mark, but Kusiak found the back of the net with just :07 on the clock to give the home team a 5-1 advantage after 30 minutes of play.
The second half was a more even contest, but the lead was too large to overcome.
Amherst scored two goals early on to go ahead by six. A score by Black at the 14:58 mark cut the deficit to five, but Amherst scored on the ensuing draw control as Passarelli and Haughton connected for the third time to regain a six-goal lead.
Wesleyan outscored Amherst 3-2 in the final 13:16 of play, but it wasn't enough as the home team claimed the 10-5 win.
Wesleyan returns to the field Saturday, April 9 and will host its other Little Three rival, Williams College at 12 p.m.
Amherst is back in action Saturday as well and will play at No. 8 Colby College. Game time is scheduled for 12 p.m.


TORONTO, August 2, 2018 – Popular Canadian accounting app Hubdoc has been acquired by accounting software giant Xero in a deal worth $US70 million. The Toronto-based maker of document collection and management software was recently reported by K2E Canada as the premier accounting software application used by small and medium-sized accounting firms and bookkeepers in Canada.
Xero has taken a big step towards building their base in Canada, according to accounting technology analyst Alan Salmon, the Canadian founder of K2E. "The acquisition will be good for Canadian accounting firms. Competition leads to increased creativity in the marketplace." Salmon notes that Xero has also significantly increased its Canadian staff.
The New Zealand-based company officially launched its cloud accounting software platform in Canada in May 2018. Xero, which entered an accounting market dominated by Intuit QuickBooks and Sage, announced a partnership with "ctrl by Deloitte," a cloud-based financial collaboration platform, which also partners with QuickBooks Online, Receipt Bank and Hubdoc.
"The acquisition also means we expand our presence in Canada, where we just launched in May, and establish Xero as an employer of choice for tech talent in Toronto, along with growing our teams in Australia and the UK where Hubdoc has a presence," said Xero chief executive Steve Vamos in an interview with Australia's Financial Review.
While Hubdoc will continue to operate on a stand-alone basis, the acquisition promises to make Xero a more compelling option, as the two companies and their platforms seek further integration. Hubdoc will continue to be led by co-founders Jamie Shulman and Jamie McDonald, who will report to Keri Gohman, president of Xero Americas.
"Over the past four years, Hubdoc has built an industry-changing product, a passionate following of customer advocates and a reputation for authentic, human service," said Shulman. "What is exciting about this transaction is the opportunity to deeply partner with Xero to rewire the global small business economy."
"Like Xero, we believe that the underlying foundation of any great company is deep customer and employee focus," said McDonald. "Our two north stars at Hubdoc are to create amazing customer experiences that people tell their friends about and amazing professional experiences that employees take with them throughout their careers.
In the 2018 Accounting Operations and Technology survey from K2E Canada, Hubdoc showed a remarkable market penetration among Canadian accountants and bookkeepers, who often create multiple client accounts. "Once a bookkeeper uses Hubdoc, he or she typically wants to get all their clients using it," explained Shulman in a past interview.
Seventeen per cent of SME accounting firms use Hubdoc, and double that percentage among bookkeepers, who have adopted app usage faster than accounting firms. Just 4.6 per cent of management accountants are using Hubdoc, according to the survey, but of those using accounting-related apps, an astounding 42 per cent are using Hubdoc.
Hubdoc uses cloud computing and machine learning to automatically collect and analyze business documents for financial reporting, reconciliation and audit proofing. According to Vamos, the acquisition aligns with the long-term plan of Xero to be a leader in "code-free accounting," meaning software that automates accounting processes so accountants can free themselves from mundane tasks.
Salmon points out that Xero's presence in Canada is well behind the market leaders. "Based on the results of the 2018 Canadian Accounting Operations and Technology survey, 6.8 per cent of accounting firm clients use Xero, while 32 per cent use QuickBooks Online," says Salmon. "However, a significant percentage of the Hubdoc base is QBO advisers and their clients."
Hubdoc has done well on its own in Canada. "My crystal ball indicates that there will be no change in Hubdoc's strategy," says Salmon. "They cannot afford to alienate their major client base. However, Xero will get access to Hubdoc's Intuit client list, which could be a key payback from the acquisition."
The deal is similar to that of the 2017 acquisition by Intuit of Tsheets, a time tracking and scheduling application, in its acquisition of a popular app by an established accounting software company.
"Looking farther down the road," says Salmon, "I could see Xero building in some of the features in Hubdoc to their solution. This would follow what Intuit is doing with QBO and QuickBooks tax."
Xero will acquire Hubdoc in two stages. A first stage buyout of $60 million, comprising 35 per cent in cash and 65 per cent in Xero equity, and a second stage of $10 million in equity issued to shareholders of Hubdoc.

Funding infrastructure has always been a challenging issue in any country and at any time, yet the topic is still largely unexplored. The social returns of investment in water, roads, railways, or more recently telegraph or communication satellites are often apparent in the long run, but this distant horizon poses special problems to governments and investors. This volume provides a broad overview of the main financing solutions implemented in Europe to support infrastructures from the fall of the Roman Empire up to the end of the 20th century. It explores the diverse historical paths pursued in order to solve the problem of infrastructure finance in various European countries, and draws upon the findings of an international and interdisciplinary research project. It brings together case studies by economic historians, economists, and engineers, and the clear taxonomy guides the reader through the financing solutions that have been developed to fund infrastructure over almost three thousand years. The volume is organized into four parts; after an introductory chapter by the editors, Part One offers 'horizontal' contributions that cover the history of European infrastructure finance. Parts Two, Three, and Four each focus on a single sector, namely water, transport, and telecommunications. The findings show how history can inform thinking on contemporary infrastructure problems.

Any chance you might write a blog post on what you've been up to in the injury recovery department lately? Are you still doing things such as therapy exercises, meeting with doctors, and generally easing your way back in to climbing more and more frequently?
Thank you so much for your message and checking in. Physical therapy exercises are still a part of my routine. I now look at them not only as a way to recover but also as preventative. They've become sort of like brushing my teeth, I feel guilty if I don't do them every climbing day.
I am not meeting with doctors constantly, but I will check in with them occasionally if something flares up. If the flare up is bad enough, I'll start seeing the physical therapist or acupuncturist on a regular basis. Aside from making sure that I am getting the best possible care, one of the most important things I've learned, and am still learning, is taking it slow coming back from injury. I've definitely fallen into the "professional athlete" pattern time and time again of jumping back into activity before my body is recovered, only to end up sidelined on the couch with re-injury. I was reminded of that this week reading about Ralph Sampson being inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. After three knee surgeries prematurely ended his career, he now says he tried to come back too quickly.
I just recently wrote a blog post for Outdoor Research about some of my mistakes and lessons learned with recovery time. It's a very important and tricky thing to figure out, as I am still discovering. Hopefully I'm wiser than my 23 year old self, that glued sticky rubber to my walking cast to be able to climb better at the Boulder Rock Club.

The Hard Road hardware will be up for grabs Friday, Aug. 30, when Worthington Kilbourne plays at Dublin Scioto in the first week of the high school football season.
It marks the first time in the 19-year history of the "Battle of Hard Road" series that the teams will play in week one.
The switch was necessitated by Kilbourne's move from the OCC-Cardinal Division to the OCC-Capital. Scioto remains in the OCC-Cardinal, which added Canal Winchester to replace the Wolves.
Scioto won 24-7 last year in the regular-season finale, its third consecutive win in the series.
"This group of seniors doesn't want to make it through their careers never having their hands on the trophy. Scioto definitely has our attention," said Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti, whose team finished 3-7 last season. "It's strange with it being the first game this year and then we have Thomas (Worthington) the second game, so we've got two huge rivals in the first two weeks. We've got to be ready to go."
The Irish finished 8-3 last season after losing to Olentangy 21-17 in the first round of the Division I, Region 3 playoffs. However, Scioto lost 25 players to graduation, including quarterback Evan DeMars, who set program records for yards passing (5,658) and touchdown passes (43).
Scioto also lost receiver Tim Shadoan, who shared OCC-Cardinal Player of the Year honors after catching a program-record 81 passes for 1,007 yards and nine touchdowns, and fullback William Houston, who rushed for 1,151 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Like Kilbourne, the Irish also open with back-to-back rivals, as they play at Dublin Coffman on Sept. 6.
"It doesn't get any better than this week-one Battle of Hard Road," Scioto coach Karl Johnson said. "New we need to focus on the task at hand every day in practice.
"Friday will get here. We need to be ready."
Taking over at quarterback in Scioto's hurry-up, no-huddle offense is junior Nathan Densel. Darius McDonald will be the main focus as a runner and a receiver.
The defense has seven returning starters and will be led by senior linebackers Troy Zimmerman and Nick Conner.
Kilbourne also has a new quarterback in junior Griffin Dahn, as senior Keaton Reinhart has moved to receiver.
The Wolves return 22 seniors and 23 letterwinners, including six starters on each side of the ball. Slotbacks Seth Hill and Chandler Bridges and running back Justin Stoner play behind an experienced line.
Josh Happ and Taylor Wilson are expected to lead the Wolves' 4-3 defense at linebacker, with D.J. Freer (DE), Gavin Elifritz (DT), Hill (DB) and Bridges (DB) being other key players.


I had an old photocopy of this cake in a stack of papers.
I have no idea what year I photocopied it, but there it was sitting on my desk.
For weeks I thought about the cake. Apricots were on a few of my grocery lists but all of my trips to the grocery store were fruitless. None of the apricots I saw were ripe and they were too expensive to justify less-than fruit.
If you're wondering, for the record I say APE-RI-COT. It's not an app to me. It's an ape. What about you?
So, yeah…no APE-RI-COTS that I liked in the stores and then….
I was seriously just looking at the recipe when she texted.
Yes, I do! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And I made that cake and it was GOOD.
When the moment presents itself, make this Apricot Almond Cake.
It's nice served warm with vanilla ice cream.
You'll love those juicy apricots mixed with the light cake and crunchy toasted almonds.
It's kind of like a pineapple upside down cake meets a cobbler.
Now friends, who has a fruit tree to share with me??! TEXT ME. I'll bring you cake.
First, we are going to toss the apricots with sugar, lemon zest and some of the almonds.
Put the apricots on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan treated with cooking spray.
Is treated the right word? Sprayed?
Now we make the cake part. Sugar and butter gets creamed. Lemon zest goes in followed by eggs.
Dry ingredients come into play. Batter is ready.
We toss some of the almonds in sugar. They will go on top.
Spread that batter on top.
Check out this baked beauty!
Serve it up warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream.
We're enjoying the leftovers for breakfast this week!
If you've got a bunch of apricots to use up, try the following recipes!
Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine apricots with 1 tablespoon lemon peel, water, almond extract, sugar and almonds in a medium bowl. Line the bottom of the prepared baking pan with apricots.
With a hand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest in a large bowl until soft and fluffy. Gradually add eggs, one at a time. Followed by the almond extract, flour, baking powder, salt and lemon juice. Mix until ingredients are well combined. Batter should be a soft, spreadable consistency.
Toss remaining almonds with 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl.
Cover the apricots with the batter, top with sugared almonds. Place in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Serve cake warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream.
Hubba hubba! That cake looks awesome! Juicy sweet apricots, tender crumbed cake and sweet crunchy almonds! Seriously salivating.
And ape-ricots is the only way to say it in the UK! I am totally used the way Americans say words differently but the one that gets me as it sounds so crazy bonkers to me is caramel!
I was just thinking about what to make for dessert when we have our parents over this weekend…problem solved! I can't wait to make this!
Oh man, where were you when I harvested 80lbs of Blenheim apricots this year! And I'm just on the other side of the bridge from you! I made cases and cases of apricot jam and preserved apricot halves. Do you think I could use preserved apricots with this cake or would it just turn to mush?
Now the Santa Rosa plum tree is going bonkers so I've sent out an e-mail to the neighbors to pick them as they wish since the tree is in the front yard.
I'd use your preserves in bars! I know that David Lebovitz has a good recipe for apricot bars!
This recipe looks amazing! I am excited to try it; however, I am not familiar with the taste of apricots (I'm an APP-ricots gal, from the south 🙂 Any other fruits you suggest would be good with it? Or, what would you liken the flavor of an apricot to?!?!
Apricots have their own flavor! I suppose it's kinda like a peach? But if you've never tried one, you really should!!!
This looks amazing!! I feel like it would work well with so much stone fruit.
Just to clarify, is it 1/2 a cup of butter or two sticks (1 cup of butter)?
1 cup! 2 sticks. I am sorry about the typo!
Like Melissa M., I also noticed the discrepancy in the recipe about the butter – is it 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) or 1 cup of butter (2 sticks)? I am looking at the other ingredients and am guessing that it is 1/2 cup butter rather than 1 cup considering how little flour there is in the recipe and with baking, everything is proportional.
Please respond as I am dying to make this cake.
This APP-ricot cake is going to be a forever favorite. I just know it.
could tinned ape-ri-cots be used? They're not really ripe here, more like missiles.
My only concern is that they would be quite mushy!
Thank you for the recipe. And your blog generally!!!
this cake is gorgeous! i often forget about apricots, but this looks really good.

Imaging mass spectrometry is an emerging technique of great potential for investigating the chemical architecture in biological matrices. Although the potential for studying neurobiological systems is evident, the relevance of the technique for application in neuroscience is still in its infancy. In the present Review, a principal overview of the different approaches, including matrix assisted laser desorption ionization and secondary ion mass spectrometry, is provided with particular focus on their strengths and limitations for studying different neurochemical species in situ and in vitro. The potential of the various approaches is discussed based on both fundamental and biomedical neuroscience research. This Review aims to serve as a general guide to familiarize the neuroscience community and other biomedical researchers with the technique, highlighting its great potential and suitability for comprehensive and specific chemical imaging.

NLR Minute 12/01 - Sick Day Boondoggle
Like the show? Like reading books? Support us on Patreon at the 'solidarity' level and you'll be. in the NLR Bookclub, w/ a Verso book delivered to you each month!
Our good friends in the Canadian banking sector have piled the cash high during the pandemic and now they are ready to pop in the form of stock buybacks and fat dividend payments — the problem is that they are doing it with our money. Then, the Liberals introduced legislation to give *some* workers *some* paid sick days. It's too little too late.
Speaking of paid sick days, CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahan drops by the Union Hall to discuss Doug Ford's 27th pass on paid sick days for Ontario workers. TWENTY-SEVENTH. During a pandemic and while feigning an attempt to 'fight for workers'. Ontario deserves better.
You're going to want to listen to tomorrow's Counterpoint w/ Dimitri Lascaris and Rupa Subramanya where we discuss all things CHINA. Until then, enjoy this video of Donald Trump saying China a lot.

Peacefully, on Sunday, March 31, 2019 at the Selkirk Regional Health Center, Carol Anne Struch (nee Thomas) passed away quietly in her sleep with family and friends by her side.
Carol was born May 25, 1945 in Winnipeg, MB to Norman and Agnes Thomas. She was the youngest of 5 children. She is predeceased by her mother Agnes, father Norman, brother Glenn and husband (of 44 years) Edward Struch.
She will be lovingly remembered by her son Kevin (Lorna) Struch, daughter Marcy McLachlan, son-in-law Ryan McLachlan, brother Ralph Thomas, sister Myrna Haley, sister in-law Ruth, grandchildren Brooklyn, Maddox & Elise and numerous nieces and nephews.
She will be sadly missed by all for her love, strength, generosity and perseverance. Her absolute joy came from spending time with the little people in her life…her grandchildren.
We want to extend a special thank you to the palliative care staff at Selkirk Regional Health Center for their exceptional care for our mom, going above and beyond to support not only her but us as well.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Faith Bible Camp, Victoria Beach where she would spend her summers cooking and caring for campers and staff.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Selkirk, MB, on Thursday, April 4, 2019.
Condolences may be left on her tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com.
