"I have been working with Megan for some time now.I am always recommending her to my friends and family. She is very helpful and intuitive. Her knowledge of alternative health issues are amazing! She is always available to answer questions and share her expertise. Her energy work is a very valuable tool in perusing health. I am extremely thankful for her help and knowledge in my journey of healing my body!"
"Regular sessions with Megan have been such a blessing to my family. Megan herself is always kind, responsive, and compassionate, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about various natural remedies that will complement energetic therapy. My husband and I have noticed increased feelings of vitality and well-being since starting regular sessions with Megan, and our children seem to have an easier time maintaining emotional equilibrium, probably because they're feeling better as well! I would recommend Megan to anyone, either for general health maintenance or for more targeted assistance with acute or chronic ailments."
"Megan is compassionate and warm hearted. She listens deeply and guides you gently on a self healing journey."
"It is hard to put into words the benefits that I have gained from working with Megan Buer at Harmony Restored. I was asked to contact her by my doctor, Zackery Bush, for all over body pain. This pain had been a moving target for years. We all know chronic pain, of any kind, wears you down and you tend to lose your vibrancy.
I did an Emotional Code session via phone, then my others she did on her own after I emailed, in detail, the issues I was having. By return email I received a detailed report of what emotions she cleared from my body that was causing the pain. I was astounded. I did not know me, as a person, was even capable of holding on to these emotions. Where did they come from? Deep inside my heart? But I am a happy person full of love, yes with baggage, but you have not lived 64 years without some. Right? We progressed from 3 excellent Emotional Code sessions, which improved my overall body pain dramatically and gave me a peaceful sense of wellbeing.
What she uncovered next was that I had a Heart Wall. Many of us do. It is just as it sounds, a wall around your heart that we throw up to protect ourselves. It was truly amazing what she was able to take down and the emotions cleared that I never dreamed of residing there. 4 sessions later and the change was amazing. I was the same, but so different. Gone were the agonizing brain loops of negativity that I couldn't get rid of. I started attracting the right people in my life as the toxic ones dropped away. I no longer do things I think I SHOULD do, but embrace the things I WANT to do. I am living in the moment. I have kicked sleeping pills after 42 years. I am eating as green as I can. I am filled with love from the inside out.
If you have put off getting in touch with the real you and are not feeling you are at 100% of your mental and health potential. Get in touch with Megan Buer. DO IT NOW.
Megan is the best gift you can give yourself. If I only could have one tool in my tool box it would be her."
"Megan has been a blessing of healing, awareness, and support for my family for almost two years now. I remember how remarkable that first session was with my young daughter, who has had digestive troubles since she was a baby. I remember being in awe of the affects of Megan's treatment on her mood and physical comfort, and suddenly feeling hope and confidence in her ability to heal and grow, free from my worry.
Six months ago, Megan was an integral part of our son's healing journey. She had done sessions with him before for emotional stress, heart wall clearing, and every now and then for immune boosts, so she knows him well. This was an intense, scary time for us as his parents, and for him as a healthy child who was suddenly not well and very confused. Megan went above and beyond to dig deep into the concerns. With each session, she uncovered more information and released more of what was interfering with his health. Again, there was tremendous renewed faith in natural design for growth and the ability to heal ourselves when we are loved, supported and understood.
When one of us heals, we all shift toward something better together. Usually this happens in small bits toward what feels stronger or more peaceful, sometimes as small as a little pop in my spine, or as subtle as being able to take a deeper, slower breath. Sometimes, it can be a dramatic breakthrough, and everything feels or looks different. Whether it is an acute illness or a chronic stress, we always feel closer to wellness and peace with each session.
Megan has guided and supported us through normal ups and downs, and also very worrisome challenges. She has broken down walls and old patterns, freed us from deeply rooted negative energy, and showed us how our past does not have to be our present or future. I often think of Megan as I go about my day; I take a deep breath, and feel the change she has brought each of us - from the inside out."
"Megan has been such a huge blessing to me in so many ways. She has given me such peace within. I have been going through some tough times with anxiety and panic attacks as an aftermath of my thyroid med overdose. She did work on me throughout my healing journey. I was having huge anxiety in the morning when my husband would leave for work, I felt like I was in such terror at times, terror and thoughts I couldn't control. She had done some work on me the last day of my husband's work week, by the time he went back to work (3 days later), the terror was gone ... my strength had returned and it has felt like a normal morning since. She has helped me in so many ways, this was just one HUGE one!! Without her, I don't know where I would be, but what I do know is I would still be in a terrible terror storm. Megan you are amazing, your always there for me – thank you so much."
"I'm so thankful my family doctor, Dr. Martin Katz, told me to contact Megan Buer. Megan has helped me so much. I am healing my body! It is great to experience the different changes my body is making. I'm joyful and so happy every moment of the day. My mind is clear and peaceful, my anxiety is gone. I would like all my friends and family to have the same experience. To live a more joyful life, true to the connection of our heart."
"The anxiety that was present with me and my son (6-year old) have lessened immensely after working with Megan. The baby is able to wake peacefully from his sleep (the abandonment energy has been released!). And my husband is breathing better now that the energies trapped in his lungs have been addressed! I appreciate Megan empowering us and working with us as we take steps to increase positivity in our lives. The best part of Megan working with us is her flexibility (in person, phone, email) and ability to explain things with professionalism and care."
"Megan has done 2 sessions on my son for a number of issues, one of the biggest ones was his constant need to fidget with anything and everything. His fidgeting has caused many problems in school, as it can be very distracting to his classmates. After his first session his fidgeting went from happening all day (especially when concentrating) to hardly at all. I noticed that he doesn't do it anymore while doing homework and then his teacher mentioned that he hardly fidgets at all anymore in class. He has also gotten 3 perfect weekly progress reports since Megan has worked on him. Megan is amazing at what she does and is so loving and caring, which I appreciate more than anything else."
"My youngest son Marcos has always been a challenge. The first 6 months of his life all he did was cry. He still cries now over every little thing and it just drains me. I had Megan work on him today. The time change has made bedtime horrible all week and this morning Marcos had 3 meltdowns and I was frazzled and impatient with him since it made us late getting out the door. I dropped him off and was so frustrated. Then I got the email from Megan about all the things she had just cleared from my sensitive boy. I got teary in the car as I read about them. I turned the volume down of my music and said a prayer for Marcos (and for me to be more patient and loving). Goosebumps and more tears! Wow. Tonight when I picked Marcos up from preschool he was so cheerful and happy and all evening was hugging and kissing me and he fell asleep tonight within minutes."
"I was experiencing pain in my right hip area. It came on suddenly for no apparent reason. I figured I had pulled a muscle and it would go away in a couple of days. Two to three weeks later the pain was spreading to my whole leg and disrupting my sleep. I contacted Megan about this and she did a session for me. The pain level dropped from an 8 to a 4 and I was sleeping better that very night! A week or two later I was still experiencing the level 4 pain, so we did a second session and I have been pain free ever since. Thanks Megan!"
"Last night at work I felt a sore throat coming on. By the time I left at 10:30pm the pain I felt from swallowing was worse and it felt like my throat was tight and like something was in the way. This morning was the same, so I asked for help from Megan. Within a couple hours of Megan's help I could NOT believe that my throat didn't have that tightness when swallowing and then the pain diminished to 10% of what it was. Just barely there. I've very grateful for her suggestions! Just wow. This is the second experience I've had personally with energy healing and both involved pain that went away. I want to believe that it works in theory and I've wondered if it can really help, but there's no denying this. Unbelievable!"
"I had a pinch in my back for just over a year. I told Megan about it, not knowing if it was caused by anything emotional, she cleared a single inherited emotion from that spot and the pain was gone. It is amazing. My son was coming down with what we feared to be croup. Megan boosted his immune system and within hours he was showing vast improvement and the illness was completely gone within two days. Megan also cleared heartwalls on my husband, my two year old son, and myself. So many of the emotions that she cleared from all of us rang so true. The emotion code is amazing and I am so grateful to Megan for helping our family have a healthier, happier life."
"Although I have immersed myself over the past several years in different healing modalies (massage, meditation, yoga, reiki, and prayer), I was still suffering from physical issues that were becoming more and more persistent and debilitating; particularly right knee pain that left me ready to seek surgery for relief. That is when a friend introduced me to Megan and the Emotion Code. As a believer that our bodies DO have the infinite wisdom to heal themselves, I was intrigued and contacted Megan right away. Over the course of the next several weeks, Megan cleared my heart wall and a whole host of trapped emotions, and with each session I began to feel better. Sometimes I would be frustrated, wanting the healing to happen immediately, but she confidently and gently reminded me to be patient and allow my body to release the trapped emotions. One of the most profound things that I took away from my sessions with Megan and the Emotion Code process is the quote, "Healing isn't about fixing who you are, its about remembering who you are". Now, everyday, when I awaken, I am remembering who I am and my life has never been better. Thank you! I am so very grateful."

Girls soccer places third in the MO-KAN Challenge tournament
After defeating Lee's Summit North 1-0, girls soccer claims third in the MO-KAN Challenge tournament.

Olivia Baird, Reporter
The girls soccer team brought home a third place title at the MO-KAN Challenge tournament with a win against Lee's Summit North.
Neither team was able to score during the first half despite the Huskies attempting five shots to LSN's one. However, with seven minutes left in the second half, Kara Priest scored with an assist from Cece Kizer. The final score was 1-0.
Head coach Rick Pribyl said the game went well, but the team still has work to do.
"We pass the ball, but we're not in rhythm yet," Pribyl said. "That just takes time, and that requires people running off the ball when they don't have the ball and things like that."
With the total number of shots on goal being 12-2 BVNW, Pribyl said BVNW's midfield made the difference between them and LSN.
Senior midfielder Kala Brundige said she hopes the team improves on finishing their shots.
"I hope that we can keep stringing together passes and making plays, but get a finish or two in for next time."

Israel may up intensity of airstrikes on Gaza: Netanyahu
Press TV- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the Tel Aviv regime may increase the "intensity" of its airstrikes on Gaza.
"We are prepared for any scenario and our enemies would do well to understand this," he said during a military ceremony on Wednesday.
The remarks were made several hours after Israeli warplanes carried out around two dozen airstrikes on Gaza, which according to medical sources wounded several civilians.
They also come at a time that US President Donald Trump's special envoy Jason Greenblatt and adviser Jared Kushner are set to visit the region.
Israel said that the attacks were carried out in response to rocket and mortar fire launched from within the coastal enclave.
The Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas said in a statement that the rocket fire came in response to earlier Israeli aerial assaults against Gaza, stressing that the resistance movement reserves the legitimate right to retaliate against any act of aggression by the occupying enemy.
"The equation will be: bombardment in return for bombardment," they said.
Israel carries out regular air raids on Palestinians in Gaza, which has also been under an inhumane Israeli siege since 2007 and witnessed three wars since 2008.
Tensions have been running high along the Gaza fence since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests, dubbed "The Great March of Return," demanding the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
Over 130 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more wounded in the violent crackdown.

THE RIPPINGTON'S TELL "TRUE STORIES"
How do you celebrate thirty years of making music? You release your 22nd album in honor of such an accomplishment. The Rippington's are celebrating their thirty year anniversary with the release of "True Stories." The album was recorded with all original Rippington members. Rippington's founder Russ Freeman is jubilant and is ever so grateful for the fans who have been with them and brought the group this far. As fans are well-aware, The Rippington's never disappoint. The group is admired by their peers and revered for their talents. Over the years, they have collaborated with artists such as Bob James, Patti Austin, and Joe Sample. It is the group's ability to combine varying styles of music that is unique. Russ always has a "visual point of reference" when writing new music. He always strives to push the envelope and lets his imagination guide him when recording new music. "True Stories" is comprised of ten original songs and features Jeffrey Osborne on the tune "My Promise."
Russ and I talk about the music and "True Stories":

THE RIPPINGTONS TELL "TRUE STORIES" JUNE 24/CELEBRATE 30TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR
THE RIPPINGTONS FEATURING RUSS FREEMAN
PEAK RECORDS/ENTERTAINMENT ONE
"When I started the Rippingtons, I never imagined it would last more than the release of one album, let alone thirty years!" recalls Russ Freeman, leader and founder of the pioneering, GRAMMY® nominated group The Rippingtons, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary year with the release of True Stories, the band's 22nd recording to be released June 24, 2016.
True Stories, recorded over an intensive three-month span, is a refreshing elixir that will delight devout fans of The Rippingtons and attract new ones. Joined by original Rippington, alto and soprano saxophonist Brandon Fields, drummer Dave Karasony, bassist and rhodes player Rico Belled and special guest Jeffrey Osborne, Freeman orchestrates ten compelling originals. The album opens with the hypnotic and scintillating "Wild Tales," the CD's first single, which Freeman calls an "experiment in randomness." Fusing elements of jazz with traces of EDM and world influences, The Rippingtons foreshadow the journey ahead and promise it to be nothing short of exhilarating.Many of the classic Rippingtons hit repertoire prominently feature rich saxophone melodies and this time out Freeman showcases his unparalleled guitar wizardry.
On True Stories his choice of axe is a Patrick Cummings gold custom Brian Moore 30th Anniversary Russ Freeman model guitar. He plays it on all the album tracks with the exception of "Wonderland," which features a Rosewood Fender Telecaster. The epic number transports listeners through several breathtaking, suspenseful movements that are crystallized by Freeman's beautiful and intuitive playing. He cites this song as his favorite on the CD and you can hear the love he pours into each unforgettable moment. Amazingly, the song was recorded in one take. "I'm a big believer in first takes and stream of consciousness," explains Freeman. "There's something in the DNA of a first take that I find fascinating. The raw ideas are always hidden in there." The swooning and uplifting "Sundance," follows featuring the lyrical saxophone Brandon Fields and blues-filled and rockin' and guitar lines of Freeman. "Sundance reminds me of the hard work of songwriting. Sometimes you have to make yourself grind it out and you get lucky. This song is perfect for the live band," shares Freeman who will be taking True Stories on the road this Summer.
An avid traveler and lover of culture, Freeman takes us on a journey to Spain as he pays homage to the Spanish tradition of Andalusia, the southern region where Islamic and indigenous music flourish. The majestic and arresting "Flamenco Beach," is a composition that Freeman says played in his head until he finally sat down to write it. The ebullient rocking and rhythmically charged "King's Road," features Freeman with Fields' alto and Belled's warm bass sharing the melody in unison, while drummer Dave Karasony solos over the thematic changes. Freeman shares, "This is the first time the Ripps have featured an extended drum solo on an album. I felt the time had come. I was surprised at the approach Dave took, using a combination of hi-hat finesses and double bass drum mayhem."Another highpoint on True Stories comes in the form of the devotional "My Promise," an enchanting song, featuring GRAMMY-winning singer Jeffrey Osborne. Freeman co-wrote the gem with his talented wife Yaredt, who has contributed several songs to The Rippingtons songbook. Reuniting Jeffrey with the band came as a recommendation from Freeman's long time manager Andi Howard, conjuring up some of the magic they created with their unforgettable collaboration on the Thom Bell/Paul Hurtt classic "I'll Be Around," which was a hit for the Spinners as well as Freeman when it appeared on his 1994 album Sahara. Freeman composed the funk-drenched composition "Reach Higher," at the piano and highlights his buttery synths and gritty guitar licks alongside Belled's driving bass lines, Fields' soulful sax melodies and the high-octane drumming of Karasony. Freeman confides, "I'm a guitar player by trade, but I spend most of my time playing keyboards!"
"Dreamcatcher" is ethereal and wistful and "Golden Child," is a blues fueled number with stop-time rhythms that will have you dancing before you know it.In typical fashion, The Rippington's leave us with something to remember with the album's unforgettable title track. It is a divine, dramatic, impressionistic and contemplative track that highlights Brandon Fields' sublime soprano and a wonderful piano solo from Freeman. "I'm so pleased to have Brandon back with The Ripps," says the guitarist. "Our collaboration precedes the band going back to my first solo album. Our communication is effortless and I am amazed at how he is able to always interpret my melody writing."
Devoted fans of the The Rippingtons are well acquainted with the band's beloved, spunky and funky mascot, the Jazz Cat, who has graced all 22 album covers. "I love the outlandish graphics which were intentionally calibrated. I was specific about wanting octopus tentacles for the Jazz Cat and gave designer Bill Mayer the backdrop of 40s era comic books, preferably set to the landscape of Mars," laughs Freeman. Now who said jazz has no sense of humor?!
"Musical inspiration is a triage of sonics, melody, and visual reference," states Russ Freeman. His approach to composition is similar to that of a mixed-medium painter, in which he engages all the senses and employs disparate techniques. Hurling unique instrumentation, wide-ranging dynamics and contrasting textures upon his auditory canvas, he pushes the boundaries sonically, harmonically, rhythmically and emotionally. Freeman, who got his big break early on as a composer, understands how important the right elements are to create the perfect musical climate. In fact, Freeman and the Rippingtons have been known to work with The American Association of Music Therapy to conduct clinics in therapeutic settings, using their music as a therapeutic tool.
The Nashville born, LA based guitarist began studying classical guitar at age eleven and picked up the guitar four years later. Such iconic players as Larry Carlton, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Paco de Lucia and James Taylor, among others, have influenced Freeman's own distinctive style through the years."I have always attributed the band's success to our loyal fans,"says the humble maverick. A testament to Freeman's Midas touch and the reverence his peers have for him is the who list of stars who have been featured with The Rippingtons through the years. Some of those artists include vocalists Patti Austin, Jeffrey Osborne and The Whispers, pianists Bob James, Joe Sample and David Benoit and saxophonists Kenny G, Jeff Kashiwa, Paul Taylor and Kirk Whalum, to name a few. Freeman's dynamic and adventurous compositions have long been a centerpiece of The Rippingtons' signature sound. "Once I learned to free myself from self imposed constraints, I found new ways to express ideas musically," explains Freeman. The Rippingtons' irresistible auditory confection has catapulted their albums to the top of the charts time and time again. In fact, virtually all of their recordings have hit Top 5 on the Contemporary jazz charts and several have landed #1 albums including Welcome To the St. James Club, Curves Ahead, Tourist in Paradise, Sahara and Black Diamond.
"I try to always respect the limited time we have, and treat each day as the last," shares the visionary and virtuosic guitarist, keyboardist, composer and producer. This mindset, spiritual grounding and deep understanding of how to operate in gratitude, has allowed the multi-instrumentalist to explore the realms of possibility, making him a pioneer in the music game. Russ Freeman has made a name for himself defying the odds and redefining himself every step of the way and he's not done yet.
True Stories is a testament to the unwavering artistry of Russ Freeman and The Rippingtons and confirmation that there are still many more tales to be told. "I'm trying to reach for a place I have not been. I'm looking for inspiration. I never look back. "It is this forward momentum that propels the notes on True Stories and keeps the listeners yearning for the next chapter.

THE "TENACITY" OF PAUL TAYLOR
If ever there were a most appropriate title for Paul Taylor's latest album, "Tenacity" wins hands down. Nineteen years in the music business and counting, he shows no signs of slowing down. In the past few years, Paul has had a #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts, #1 on the airplay charts, and a Top Ten album on the Billboard Jazz Albums charts. It is no surprise that he continues to be successful. He's mastered the balancing act of maintaining a solo career and being a member of several projects over the years. Taylor lends his talents to Keiko Matsui's band, The Rippingtons, Groovin For Grover, Gentlemen of the Night, and Sax and the City. I told him he must be a "superhero." Paul attributes his success to tenacity, making the title "Tenacity" not one difficult to come up with. He joined forces with his longtime friend and colleague Don Espisito when he embarked upon the making of his 10th album to be released on March 18th. He invited some of jazz's favorites to collaborate with him on "Tenacity." Johnathan Fritzen plays on the funky opening song "Supernova" while Jeff Lorber adds his touch to the smooth tune "Luxe," and Paul Hardcastle ignites the fun "Peace of Mind." The final song on the album is significantly titled "Empire" because it symbolizes Paul reflecting on all that he has accomplished.
Listen as he shares the story with me.

Battle-Tested Ravens React to Clinching Playoff Spot

One month and one day ago, the Ravens were dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak and had lost their third straight game, this time to the rival Steelers. That's when Baltimore went into "playoff mode," likely needing to win out to reach the playoffs.
On Sunday in Cincinnati, the Ravens officially punched their ticket, dominating the Bengals in a 38-3 victory for their fifth-straight win.
The Ravens are going to the playoffs for the third straight year and enter as one of the NFL's hottest teams.
In the postgame locker room, players said there was of, course, celebration. But the Ravens have been in must-win games for a month, and they know they have to do more this year in the playoffs.
"We had our backs to the wall," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "Nobody said anything, they just went to work every single day and competed in every single game. Now we start again. It's a new season."
The Bengals entered Sunday's game with 12 straight victories in their home finale when entering with a losing record. Memories of their shocking upset that kept Baltimore out of the playoffs in 2017 were rekindled this week.
But this time, the Ravens left no doubt – jumping out to an early lead and never letting up. It was complete domination.
Their offense continued to run over its foe with a franchise record 404 yards on the ground. They threatened the NFL's all-time record for most rushing yards in a single game since 1950 (423 by the New York Giants).
The Ravens pounded away, making a point as they enter the playoffs that it's going to be difficult for anyone to slow both their ground game and quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is back to playing at an MVP level.
Jackson posted 97 rushing yards, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history with multiple 1,000 -yard rushing seasons, and threw three touchdowns.
"We got the Dub... Now we just got to keep it going." @Lj_era8 checking in‼ pic.twitter.com/QRNl1SRLll
— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) January 3, 2021
"Our team – we knew what was at stake for us. There was a lot of focus going, all phases just played their butts off," Jackson said. "We've still got room for improvement."
The Ravens know they've fallen short the past two years with one-and-done performances in the playoffs. Last year's divisional round loss to the Tennessee Titans – their possible first-round opponent – was one of the most deflating losses in franchise history.
While there are similarities to last year's squad, the march to the postseason has been much different. The Ravens were 14-2 last year. They cruised into the playoffs resting their starters and with only a couple close games over the final two months. They enjoyed a first-round bye that left questions about rust being a factor.
This year, the Ravens had so much more adversity to overcome. Jackson didn't look like his MVP self until he came back from COVID-19. Baltimore suffered brutal season-ending injuries to its franchise left tackle, Ronnie Stanley, and a key offensive cog, Nick Boyle. There were numerous other injuries that knocked players out for multiple games and left the defensive line, then the secondary, short-handed.
But as Harbaugh said, the team relied on "faith and guts," a slogan printed on T-shirts over the final stretch that has defined this 2020 team.
"People doubted us a lot throughout the season, because we weren't having the year that we had last year," Jackson said. "Our team fought through that, and we showed the world we're here to play, and we've just got to keep it going."
Safety Chuck Clark said the Ravens are stronger this year than last because of what they've gone through this season. Outside linebacker Matthew Judon said he didn't even want to talk about last season.
The Ravens aren't riding too high even though they're playing their best football of the season entering the playoffs. Asked how special it is to make the playoffs after everything the Ravens have gone through this season, Jackson flatly said, "it's pretty cool."
"But we've still got things we want to finish," he said. "It's just the beginning for us, to be honest with you."

The origins of Islamic Art
Dome of the Rock. Jerusalem. Completed AD 691
I've always been a big fan of Art Sawa and their next few classes are particularly on subjects I am passionate about. Marta Ameri will touch on the origins of Islamic art on the 23rd of September.
The middle of the 7th century A.D. saw with the rise of Islam the creation of a new religion and of a great military empire. It was in these early years that Islamic Art developed and coalesced into a definitive style. By looking at early monuments such as the Dome of the Rock and the Great Mosque of Damascus, this class will explore the ways in which the rulers of the first Islamic empires combined existing artistic styles with new Islamic elements to develop what we now identify as Islamic art.
The class will also discuss issues such as how the precepts of Islamic belief affected early Islamic Art, and the ways in which the early Islamic rulers used art and architecture to express their growing power.
If you are in Dubai and interested in Islamic Art history, then learning about at after work may be a perfect start to your evenings over the next few weeks.

Noctuidae » Xyleninae
Southern Brindled Green Dryobotodes roboris
Adult • Creon D'Armagnac, S.W. France • © Graham Wenman
73.226 BF2248a
(Boisduval, [1828])
Wingspan c. 28mm.
This species was first discovered in Jersey in October 2006, when an individual was captured at light.
It resembles the Brindled Green, D. eremita but tends to be slightly smaller and greener and shows a more obvious pale subterminal band on the forewing.
It's distribution covers Southern Europe and North Africa east to Asia Minor, where it inhabits dry, warm oak (Quercus) forests, the larvae feeding on the foliage.
Abroad, it typically is on the wing in October to November.

No reviews last week as Mrs Earth-Prime and I were away. This week, though . . .
Lucy Weber starts to unravel the mystery of what's happened t Spiral City's heroes . . . again. This time she has the help of Talky-Walky who seems aware of the reality shift, unlike Lucy.
A little bit of a placeholder issue in an otherwise excellent series.
The Freedom Fighters strike back against the Nazi regime, hijacking their electronic systems and broadcasting God Bless America by Irving Berlin across the country in an attempt to raise the dormant Uncle Sam. Meanwhile the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler II, assigns his son – the imaginatively named Adolf Hitler III – to bring down the Fighters.
Another cracking issue with a ton of action plus hints into the pasts/origins of the heroes without disrupting the story.
Darkseid continues his quest to build something called Sepulkore that will stem the tide of darkness released by the collapse of the Source Wall, but something seems to have stopped him with some finality. Elsewhere, the League arrive on Tamaran only to find Starfire's sister Blackfire waiting and holding her to account for their planet's devastation.
New writer Dan Abnett picks up the threads of the original story and brings in his own stuff; it's a little better that previous issues and, having enjoyed his work on AQUAMAN, I'm curious as to where Abnett's going.
In the Funlands, Billy and the family are hosted by King Kid who tells them his origin and wants to join the family, though Mary is rightly suspicious. When it's revealed she's nearly 18, King Kid flips and captures her – only kids are allowed in the Funlands, apparently – and this triggers the rest of the family into becoming their adult, heroic forms which means they all get either captured or thrown out into the various other Magic Lands.
Another fun issue that moves the story along. I'm guessing, based on his origin, King Kid will be revealed to be an adult after all this time and so defeated by his own rules.
Mr Terrific is rescued from the Dreadfuls by Mrs Terrific of Earth-23 who looks just like his late wife and he, of course, looks just like her late husband. The other Terrifics – joined by Offspring and Tesla Strong – track them down in time to stop the Dreadfuls' final attack.
I'm still liking this series so much, partly because it seems to be the only one in the DCU that remembers there's a multiverse out there – we get glimpses of six other Earths in the last few pages alone. Pick up the collections if you haven't already.

I've enjoyed Black Hammer from Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston and was happy to pick up the new spin-off miniseries, Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil.
The Amazing Screw On Head is a great collection of short stories but the similarity between the two main characters makes me wonder if Mignola was maybe rushed for time and re-used some old art?
Either way, they're both great covers.


Marcelinho Huertas continued his brilliant run of form Thursday in leading Caja Laboral to a 78-63 victory over Unicaja and snagging MVP of the Week honors in the process. Huertas had 18 points on near-perfect shooting plus 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals for a career-high performance index rating of 30. The win put Laboral in pole position in Group E and the Spanish champs can clinch first place in the group with a win next week at Lietuvos Rytas. Huertas became the first player to win MVP honors twice in the Top 16 since Lynn Greer, then with Olympiacos, did so in the 2007-08 season. The 27 year old from Brazil is also tied with teammate Fernando San Emeterio for the best performance index rating average after five games of the Top 16 (20.6 per game). Promising Lottomatica Roma scorer Nihad Djedovic had the second-best index of the week for the second time this season. Djedovic led Roma to its maiden Top 16 win, 76-87 at Union Olimpija, with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals for an index rating of 29. Another rising star, Real Madrid's Nikola Mirotic, had the third-highest output of the week with a 27 index in a 56-61 win at Partizan mt:s. Mirotic had 13 points on 7-of-8 free-throw shooting and 9 rebounds to lead the Whites. Former scoring champ Igor Rakocevic of Efes Pilsen returned from a week on the sidelines to score 24 points and rack up an index of 26, but it was not enough as his team fell short 88-76 at Montepaschi. Rounding out the list of the week's top individual performers is Partizan center Rasko Katic, who had 14 points and 8 rebounds for an index of 24 in defeat.

There are a lot of great things about the new Logic Apps Preview Refresh, but one of the questions that comes up is "How do I still access v1 API Apps or API Apps that aren't yet managed APIs?" You can still access these APIs and use their functionality in a Logic App, and we are releasing features quickly to help make this easier (like listing those in your resource group). For a full list of API Apps v1 that are in the marketplace, see the document here.
For a version of this article that includes screenshots, you can check out @probertdaniel's post here.
After you have deployed an API v1 App from either the Marketplace, a deployment script, or Visual Studio, you need to set a few properties for things to work nicely.
When you open the API app in your resource group, you can click "Settings" and "Application Settings" to see a list of permissions for the API App. You need your API App Host (the actual website where the logic occurs) to be accessible to Logic Apps, which means you need to set this to Public (anonymous). This is just the permission settings for the API App v1 container. You can still use Active Directory authentication to secure the API from any requests over the internet. For instructions on how to enable that on the API App host, see this article.
You can now use these APIs within Logic Apps. By the time you read this we may have the 'list sites in my resource group' feature live, but even if not, you can add the HTTP + Swagger action and point it to the swagger URL. It will parse the swagger, and present you with the parameters to begin using.
JSON Encoder and BizTalk Rules /docs/v1 URL currently will not work. You need to go through the management.azure.com point listed above. We are working to fix it so it should work for new apps deployed shortly.


Well, the Excel has a mantle in it, so the air wouldn't ever make it to the hood, which is why I think I could get away with it. I agree it isn't anywhere close to ideal, and I really shouldn't need it anyway, since I don't dive doubles (lack of gear) and generally don't rent steel (the local shops pretty much only rent AL).
And it will be hard for me to perform at 100 fsw, because I've only been that deep once (deep class), and don't really feel comfortable descending that deep yet without a real experienced guide. I normally dive with my wife, and she has done well over 500 dives, but almost all of them have been beach dives in the Santa Barbara area, and generally less than 80 feet. Besides, without getting on a boat, getting down that deep is difficult.
When I ab dive I generally dive with 14# on the belt. That allows me to be pretty much neutral at 20 fsw. So I figure at 100 fsw I should be neutral wearing somewhere between 7-10#. And I do have my weight set up to dump in thirds, I just figured it would be a better option that taking that plunge to Marianas.
As for the dump valve thing, it was the "deflate" button on my power inflator that jammed open, not the "dump valve" per se. My BC doesn't have an upper "dump valve", and certainly not that asinine "pull the power inflator hose to dump" valve. That's a good idea. Get people in that habit of jerking on a crummy plastic tube linked to their only bouyance system. That just seems like a bad idea to me, even before you get into the possibility of it jamming open. I do have a dump valve at the bottom of my BC, which makes it nice to dump a bit of air without having to right myself. So I guess I'm ok there.
I've been thinking about maybe getting one of those "signal sausage" type things, which could also be used to get a few pounds of bouyancy should the bladder eat it. But I'm not really sure I want to drag more junk around. I take enough ribbing from a few friends for taking a small light and a slate in my pocket on each dive (both have come in really handy on more than one occasion).

NL DIVISION SERIES: BREWERS v PHILLIES
Cole Hamels
Charlie Manuel
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Game One
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Charlie or Cole.
Q. Charlie, are you kind of surprised that we're in a hitter's ballpark in a pitching dual and defense broke out?
CHARLIE MANUEL: No, because a lot of times in post-season it's a lot about pitching. The pitchers, they're really bearing down and they're focused and they're concentrating on what they want to do. That's what happens sometimes. Hitters, they might be a little tight and anxious. And they don't put the runs across the board they usually can do at times.
Q. Cole, given the stakes, was that the best pitching performance of your young career?
COLE HAMELS: Yes and no. Just where we were I knew the importance of the game, and it's something where because of last year, I learned what it really takes in trying to be -- kind of mellow out, not have that sort of excitement where you can't really control everything. And that was something where just going out there and relaxing and just being able to pitch and throw strikes.
I think with the type of team that Milwaukee brings, they're very aggressive but also very good. And so I just had to really establish the first pitch strike just so I can get ahead of them and slow them down. And that's what I was able to do and have success at it.
Q. You obviously are a fine pitcher, pitched a great game. You might have already answered my question, but because it was the playoffs and because of what happened last year, you had some kind of an adrenalin rush that was kicking in at that point?
COLE HAMELS: No, I'm still waiting for that adrenalin rush. (Laughter) no. Sorry. Maybe it's kicking in right now. (Laughter) no, it's just being able to, I guess, relax. I think that's something where a lot of guys, the hitters have it too. It's the excitement rush and the adrenalin goes. You have to calm it down and try to take a step backwards. And I think that's what I was able to do and just take advantage of the excitement and the aggressiveness that the other team had.
Q. Charlie, can you talk about Brad Lidge, and can you also take us through the decision to pitch to Prince Fielder?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Basically, Brad, what happened, he got ahead of Durham, and then felt like he tried to sneak a fastball by him. Durham got a hit. And after that he threw some pitches and got ahead of the other hitters but seemed like he walked right back into an even count or he got behind. And he got in a position where he was half, he had to throw the ball over the plate.
And what happened on Fielder was, the reason we decided to pitch to him, he can tie the game up. He's not the winning run. And any time that you go and put the winning run on base in our ballpark here, especially with their lineup, like they're fifth and sixth hole hitters can hit the ball out of too. He can tie it up, but he can't win it for them there.
And I also liked one of the big things about Lidge, I say it all the time, his talent prevails at times. And it has most of the year. And when he -- he can strike people out. That's one of his big pluses. That's what a big closer is good at. He can get in jams but at the same time he can wiggle out because he can strike people out.
Q. Charlie, any thought with as well as Cole is pitching and the rhythm he was in to just let him finish up the game?
CHARLIE MANUEL: It crossed my mind, and I looked at it, what did he have 101, -2 pitches. He pitched a lot this year. We've got that guy down there. That's why he's standing down there for. That's his job, too. And he's been perfect. I mean, but also another thing, too, is the top of their order is all right-handed, and Lidge is -- what he gets is right-handers out at about 170 clip. So he kind of had the inning, like when it started. Of course they pinch hit Durham, but at the same time the inning was pretty much set up for him.
Q. So Cole wasn't tired or anything, could have gone out and pitched if you needed him?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Dubee was the one that talked to Cole. At the same time, like I said, I felt like that's what Lidge is doing down there. Like we definitely want to use Cole again and everything.
Q. Cole, to follow up on that, did you want to pitch the 9th inning?
COLE HAMELS: No, the last time I did that I gave up a two-run home run to Fielder. (Laughter). No, I have all the confidence in the world in Lidge. I knew it was something where I knew if I could get through the 8th, I knew Lidge could seal the deal. That's something where I wanted to get him a save and I know he wanted to get me a win, and we were able to do that.
CHARLIE MANUEL: Also Howard, when we were standing there, Dubee and I were talking and he made a statement to me, he says, if somebody gets on, are you going to get him? And I go, more than likely yeah. And then I thought, well, then why not let Lidge start the inning if I was going to do that. So that's kind of what happened.
Q. Charlie, are you concerned about Brad Lidge in the sense that last Saturday's game he had kind of an adventurous inning in the Nationals and tonight he had a 35-pitch outing? Are you concerned about his endurance at this point?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I get concerned but at the same time so far this year a lot of times when he'll have one of those outings, or two of them, and he's gotten through and all of a sudden like his next couple will be really good. So like it's kind of -- but I said his talent prevails. He's a strikeout pitcher, and he stays there and gets it done.
One of these days, yeah, he'll lose a game, probably. But at the same time he might go a long time before he does. Just a matter of we'll see.
Q. Cole, going back to you how you approached the game. Looked like you had a good changeup. Can you talk a little bit about that and what it feels like? When did it kick in that you knew you had the stuff and what's your frame of thought as you're in that kind of a groove?
COLE HAMELS: You know, obviously my bullpen didn't show anything. Sometimes I do have rough bullpens before games. It makes you focus a little bit more. I didn't have the best bullpen before the game. But that's where I really had to bear down. And I think to really establish or know that I have a good changeup is when the hitters take swings at it. I was a little bit aggressive in the beginning but yet they were still missing it.
That was something where I guess it was good in my case because some guys, normally when you're throwing on a more firm changeup, guys would be blooping hits here and there off me.
So I was still able to get guys to swing and miss. I know as the game went on, as the more tired I got my changeup just gets better. That's something where I've learned that from Jamie (Moyer). But I've also learned it from experiencing it myself. That's just something where it's nice to, I guess, have.
And with the swings that they were taking on it, I knew it wasn't going to, I guess, change anything.
Q. Charlie or Cole, last year you guys didn't even lead for many innings at all in the playoffs. Can you talk about how big it is to get a lead early and come away with a win in this first game?
CHARLIE MANUEL: It was big for us to like score the three runs and get out on top. And with the way Cole was pitching, he definitely did a heck of a job holding them. And he didn't give up nothing.
But I think that he was a big reason that we won the game today. Like I know we had to score to win, but when the game started -- I made a statement to somebody before the game started, I said, if Cole is throwing, the game starts and he's throwing strikes low with his fastball and his changeup and his breaking ball, he'll pitch good.
And he only hit one stretch today where -- I'm trying to think of the inning where he walked a guy. He got up with his fastball. Then he got right back in his rhythm and he started getting the ball back down, his changeup and his fastball.
And he did a heck of a job. And I'll tell you something, it's definitely one of his better outings. And he was tremendous.
Q. Cole, follow-up to that question. After what happened last year, did you think psychologically about how important it was to win this first game?
COLE HAMELS: You know, I had the understanding of what it is when you do win the first game, the momentum that it, I guess, causes and especially at home. It's just the excitement level and just the feeling that you can get.
And so going into today, I tried to be as relaxed as I possibly could. Yet, I still wanted to go out there and win just because I knew what it would do for our team. And I think that's something where, from the very first pitch in the 1st inning, I gave that confidence in our players.
When we scored those runs, I think they did have the confidence I wasn't going to allow any more runs. That's something where it's good to have that and the team is still able to battle through. But I think tonight definitely I think we'll think about it a little more because even though we won the first one we still have to go out there and win the next couple.
Hopefully you ride out, I guess, the emotions and everything that we have especially still being at home.
Q. Cole, the weather changed drastically there in the second inning. How did you -- obviously didn't cause you any problems, but how did you deal with that?
COLE HAMELS: I tried to get out as fast as I could. I'm not really used to dealing with rain, pitching-wise. But I've seen it enough. And I understand that you really have to still throw low in the zone, because when the guys put the balls in play, that's when mistakes can happen, just from having it slip and it taking a bad bounce.
I knew if I still kept it down in the zone either it would be a grounder or I was still able to keep the hitters off balance where I could still strike them out. I think I was still successful in doing that.
Q. Charlie, can you talk about the offense today? Because you went quite a few innings without so much as a hit.
CHARLIE MANUEL: Early for two innings we hit about three or four balls hard right at people. Utley's hit, of course, was big. And the fact that we took advantage of a break when Cole bunted to Braun and we got a break when they didn't execute. And, like you said, we didn't really what we call hit the ball.
I give credit to their pitchers. Plus, like we might have been trying a little bit too hard but at the same time their pitchers did a good job, and I look at it this way: Like we hit just good enough to win the game. So tomorrow we might get after big C.C. (Laughter).
THE MODERATOR: Congratulations.
End of FastScripts


When paying attention to what marketers today are telling us, it's easy to assume that consumers are being asked to march to the middle. This is not a pathway that advocates mediocrity, but instead one based on the assumption that consumers want to balance healthy with satisfying. The silver bullet that every Mom wants is the product that tastes amazing, leaves her fully satisfied, has no calories and sends her into a state of guilt-free bliss. Has "having it all" ever been out of style? I don't think so.
The notion of giving up or cutting back on food and drink that are delicious but unhealthy is not a new thought. Added to this dilemma is a whole new range of products that promise both more and less -– more great taste with fewer calories.
The mid-cal options proliferating in today's marketplace give women yet another choice to make in terms of their daily consumption. Now, there is a plethora of choices that range between 30 to 60 calories -– foods and drinks that promise a better taste than diet products but still less calories than their fully caloric counterparts.
Eating, drinking and keeping track of calorie consumption was once pretty straightforward. A diet drink equaled zero calories. A portion-sized snack pack amounted to 100 calories. Now, however, these not-quite-diet snacks and beverages add an entirely new dimension to the diet marketplace. It's all good. But more can be more -– more consideration, more balancing and more tracking.
Part of having one's cake and eating it, too, means also having to pay more attention. There is a reason the Weight Watchers approach really works -– it makes participants think about what they consume while providing a simple, user-friendly way to keep track of what they put in their bodies.
Like Weight Watchers, brands that market in this space must provide women with ways to easily track their snack and beverage calories on a daily basis while providing information and helpful tips. That is, help women select great options and combinations by craving, taste, mood or any of the other emotional reasons that prompt them to eat and drink throughout the day. Taking a break with a drink and a snack is relaxing. Keeping track of it should be, too.
Working moms have enough on their plate (pun intended). As brands add choice, they also need to take away uncertainty. Websites, apps, games, charts and experience sharing sites that help women track what they snack and drink will bring clarity to this expanding category, awareness of calorie intake and ultimately, the control that women also crave.

Best TV Shows of 2021: All the Series We're Excited to Watch Next Year
That's streaming? I'm screaming.
Everett/ABC
I know it's early, but I can already predict what will be some of the best TV shows of 2021. By "best," I don't mean the most critically acclaimed but the ones that will spark weeks-long social media debates, fan theories, and general internet pandemonium. Some of these are returning series—like Matt James's season of The Bachelor—and others are new, like the Gossip Girl HBO Max reimagining. While we wait out what's hopefully the last few months of the pandemic, television will keep us thoroughly occupied.
Behold, the best TV shows of 2021 I have a feeling everyone will be talking about:
January 1: RuPaul's Drag Race
RuPaul is switching things up with season 13, hosting six lip-sync-for-your-life showdowns off the bat. What will that mean for our new queens? Unclear, but I'm excited to find out. 8 p.m. E.T. on VH1
January 3: Call Me Kat
Mayim Bialik follows up her star turn in The Big Bang Theory with Call Me Kat, in which she plays a 39-year-old woman who uses her wedding fund to open a café in Louisville, Kentucky.

A place to dream – The outer walls of Hotel Brosundet extends directly into the waters of Brosundet, Ålesunds true town centre.
With only 15 minutes to the airport it's the ultimate start or end to your fjord adventure and for exploring the beautiful city of Ålesund. Hotel Brosundet offers a different experience. We belive true hospitality never can be reduced to a recipe. As every room has been individually created, so is our service. The hotel is intimate, enabling our watchful staff to take good care of every single guest.
Room 47 at Hotel Brosundet is beautiful Molja Light- house. The interior of Hotel Brosundet was designed by Snøhetta. This renowned architectual firm also designed The Norwegian Opera and Ballet in Oslo, and the Ground Zero Pavillion in New York.
Just as in the past, when the building was originally a warehouse, you can watch fishing vessels pass by the hotel window on their way to unload the catch of the day.
Hotel Brosundet is one of ten listed Art Nouveau buildings in Ålesund.


This still life I did using my oil pastels. This was my first time using oil pastels, and I can honestly say I'm not a fan. Overall, it was fun to do, the mannequin leg wrapped in Christmas lights give the piece a really creepy feel. It's one of my favorite ones this year.
This actually took me a couple attempts to do. It started off as a joke, because I watch Sponge Bob and have lots of SpongeBob doodles in my sketch book. I copied one of my doodles to the tray using these printable crayons. The actual printing process was difficult because every time you re-print, you have to redraw your image. I'm very proud of this, even though it all started as a joke.

Competition and programme
In 2004, the Ministry of Culture launched a competition for the Mucem Conservation and The source Centre (CCR) on the brownfield site of La belle de mai, near Saint-Charles station in Marseille. The architectural practice of Corinne Vezzoni and partners/AURA was designated winner of the competition in September 2004.
The Conservation and Resource Centre, a place intended for the storage and study of the collections, occupies a plot of around 13,000 m² on 1.2 hectares of formerly military land, the Bugeaud site of the Muy barracks, in the La belle de mai district, a plot large enough for subsequent extension in a second phase. It houses all of the museum's reserves as well as it's documentary collections, its library and its scientific archives.
The Mucem CCR carries out the museum's primary functions, i.e. the storage, preservation, study, archiving, maintenance and development of the collections. The centre is also intended to become a lively place, a tool for the enhancement and dissemination of the collections through an active policy of loans and deposits. It will be a working tool for heritage professionals, researchers and students, providing access to all the collections and archives of the Mucem. The general public will also be able to access some of the archives, by appointment, as well as the temporary exhibitions. Bruno Suzarelli was nominated director of the Mucem in November 2009.
The owner of the building is EMOC (a public cultural works establishment), which is conducting the Ministry of Culture's first public-private partnership, with the Icade Group (a subsidiary of Caisse des dépôts et consignations) which the Ministry chose, in 2006, to finance, build and operate the structure for a period of 25 years.
Architectural and urban design
The La belle de mai district, characterised by the presence of brownfield sites, already hosts the City's municipal archives, La friche de la belle de mai and the Media Centre with its studios. The Conservation Centre is the last of the amenities in this district, focused on cultural development and particularly accessible because of its proximity to the station.
A monolith sculptured by light
In installing the Mucem conservation building in a radical and compact way on the site, Corinne Vezzoni shows the maximum dimensions as an echo of the neighbouring industrial masses and the base of the artillery barracks.

Its simple volume, easily identifiable even in a fleeting glimpse from a passing train, is designed to make it an urban signal but also an echo for the Civilisations Museum.
Employing exactly the same footprint as the Civilisations Museum (72 x 72 m), through a kind of sly reference, the architect has built a great monolith of rough concrete, like solid a piece of sculpted rock, to allow natural light to penetrate. The reference to the work of the Spanish sculptor Eduardo Chillida 1 is explicit. The coloured, poured concrete solid shell is thus cast and hollowed so that the brightness of a smooth and reflective white concrete emerges from the thickness of the building.
Keeping the secret
Streetside, the building echoes the industrial scale of its surroundings, and maintains the alignments. Passers-by see a wall of raw concrete, ochre in colour, but this apparent opacity contrasts with the interior, which is organised around sunlit, south facing patios. An inner world takes its place in these hollows. The offices and temporary exhibition space are protected from the noises of the city, enjoying a peaceful atmosphere emanating from the heart of the site. The lines of trees have been retained and can be glimpsed from the street, above the former sheds.
Pedestrian access is via the original square.
Essentially housing reserves, the building is by definition turned on itself, unlike the Mucem building which represents the visible side of the institution. For the architect, "reserves are the underside of the décor; the place of secrets".
The roof, clad with large slabs of coloured concrete add to the monolithic image, and provide the view of a fifth facade from the Le Muy barracks and the railway line. In addition, two existing buildings have been retained and refurbished on the edge of the site: a warehouse on the street to house collections in transit and hut accommodation for foreign researchers.

The challenge of preserving museum works
The major purpose of the Mucem CCR is to preserve the museum's collections, hence the need for the reserves to maintain the right temperature and moisture levels for the items stored. This requirement is met by some fifty air treatment plants and coolers installed on the building's entresol, with output of 12,000 m³ per hour. There is no sign of the complexity of these facilities and air networks, which each supply reserves set aside for specific collections, maintaining the building's monolithic architectural appearance both in the walls and roof.
The CCR houses more than 7000 m² of modern reserves, laid out on three floors, under the appropriate preventative preservation standards (temperature and moisture). These reserves are partitioned to match the size and weight of the collections,with structures capable of an operating load of 1.5 tonnes per square metre. Four small so-called "low-temperature" reserves are provided to house the most sensitive objects.
Near the entrance to the reserves, the delivery area combines with areas for manoeuvring and handling the objects: packing/unpacking, quarantine room, equipment storage premises, preparation of objects for exhibitions, etc. An oxygen-free chamber is also provided for potentially infested objects. A paper assembly workshop with the capacity to handle this type of structure complete the layout, together with a restoration workshop and a big photographic workshop.
Apart from the handling and storage of the collections, the CCR has appropriate spaces for storing documentary collections and scientific archives, as well as a library to support research and a temporary exhibition premises.
The programme's innovation lies in the building's capacity to open its reserves to the public (tours by appointment).
The PPP – public-private partnership
The CCR is the first cultural amenity built and financed under the public-private partnership procedure (PPP). The cost of the building is 15 million Euros. The Ministry of Culture approached Icade, a real estate operator and subsidiary of Caisse des dépôts et consignations, for this partnership, the terms of which resemble a 25 year leasing arrangement, in which Icade is responsible for financing, building and maintaining the building and the Government pays an annual fee or rent for the period of the contract. At the end of this partnership contract, the State recovers full ownership of the building.

Corinne Vezzoni
In January 2000, Corinne Vezzoni and Pascal Laporte, who had worked together since the 1990s, created Corinne Vezzoni et associés (architecture firm), located at La cité radieuse.
In 2007, Maxime Claude, a member of the team since the beginning, became a partner. Born in 1963, Corinne Vezzoni is a graduate of the Marseille School of Architecture where she came to study in 1987 after a childhood spent in Morocco.
At present, the firm's main activity is around regional or national public competitions. It has worked in very varied fields – schools, cultural amenities (Bouchesdu- Rhône Archives), medical facilities (Ehpad), infrastructure facilities (Marignane airport, Marseille tramway, La Fourragère intermodal hub), housing (student housing, detached houses), the service sector (Euromed Center)…
Corinne Vezzoni works as a teacher, in particular as a lecturer at the Université de Provence (Masters in development and planning), as a guest lecturer at École polytechnique de Marseille Château-Gombert and at the Marseille-Luminy School of Architecture. Abroad, she was a Visiting Teacher as part of the Sienna ILAUD in 1998 and for international events at the Venice Biennale in 2006 and 2008.
Corinne Vezzoni works in consultancy (for the Bouchesdu- Rhône CAUE from 1998 to 2002) and in ideas through the CESR's "perspective et développement" committee, on which she is a guest member for the period 2009-2014. She sits on many competition juries. She has been a member of the Academy of Architecture since 2011.

Kairos' 100%-owned Roe Hills Project is located 120km east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Project comprises an extensive tenement portfolio that is highly prospective for gold, nickel and cobalt discoveries.
The Eastern Goldfields is a world-class gold province that has produced in excess of 130Moz of gold with more than 20 deposits containing >1Moz Au (Wyche et al 2012).
The Company's tenure comprises a total area of 324km2 and secures a 40km continuous strike length of the interpreted southern extensions of the highly prospective Leonora-Laverton greenstone belts which is a major gold bearing terrane in WA.
The project area is flanked by Silver Lake Resources' Mt Monger/Randalls Gold Operations to the west and the Aldiss Gold Project to the immediate east (9.342Mt @ 5.5g/t for 1.648Moz Au; 11.481Mt @ 2.4g/t for 869,400 oz Au and 6.852 Mt @ 2.2g/t for 473,700 oz Au respectively) (Silver Lake Annual Report Dec 2015).
Drilling programs conducted at the Roe Hills Project have confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralisation across multiple prospects, with numerous high-quality targets still to be tested.
The results received to date indicate the Project has the potential to host significant gold mineralisation along a largely untested strike length of more than 40km along the Aldiss Fault system.
In addition to its exciting gold potential, the Roe Hills Project also shows compelling discovery opportunities for cobalt and nickel.
A review of historical drill data completed in 2017 identified potentially significant cobalt mineralisation within an extended geochemically anomalous footprint at the ROE-1 prospect, including an historical high-grade cobalt intercept of 14m @ 0.39% Co from 20m, including 2m @ 1.16% Co from 20m.
Cobalt mineralisation at ROE-1 (>0.05% Co) extends over a strike length of at least 330m, a width of at least 150m and a thickness in excess of 8m. Importantly, this zone occurs within a broader area of cobalt anomalism which can be traced over a strike length of at least 7.5km and which remains open in all directions.
Previous exploration by Kairos has also demonstrated strong potential for Kambalda-style – Komatiite/Ultramafic Hosted primary and structurally re-mobilised high grade massive nickel sulphide mineralisation.
A series of drilling programs are planned for 2018 to further assess the Project's exciting exploration potential.

Police Review and Advisory Board
Long Funeral Home case
Bob Slate building
Muna Kangsen, Project and Outreach Coordinator, Policy Review & Advisory Board, gave the history of the review board and its mission. It was created in 1984 and hears complaints from the public about individual officers or the department and from individual officers about the department. The board receives 3-4 complaints per month and meets 6PM on the last Wednesday of the month at 51 Inman Street to discuss investigations of these complaints. The first part of the meeting is public. Complaints must be filed within 60 days of the incident. It is possible to file a complaint either in person (at the City Hall Annex, 57 Inman Street), by letter, by email (bcorr@cambridgema.gov) or by telephone (617-349-6155). In all cases, everyone making a complaint is required to provide signed statement describing what happened and the specific complaint. Complaints can also be filed with directly with the police, for example with Deputy Superintendent Steven DeMarco in the Professional Standards Unit (617-349-3384).
Much of the discussion involved encounters over the years in which individuals felt that an officer was trying to either a) discourage them from filing a crime report on the rationale that nothing was likely to come of it anyway so why bother with all that paperwork or b) intimidate them by refusing to provide their name and badge number when requested. Raising hell immediately and consistently was considered the most reliable method of getting action. We expressed interest in knowing whether officers are disciplined and what happens when they are. This information has been unavailable because it is considered a personnel issue, but some of it is appropriately public. We also asked about what to do when police don't act—e.g., not enforcing parking or jaywalking laws.
Susan Hunziker reported on the status hearing on this case, which is still open. Azzam's bankruptcy proceedings put everything on ice for about 3 years. The hearing was continued until November 1; the judge wants a joint memo from us and the city about the remaining issues.
Mary O'Neil reported that a sign in the AT&T store in the Galleria said that the business will be moving to 1967 Mass Ave, the site of the recently evacuated Stellabella toy store. A subsequent conversation with Steve Genova at Miso Market confirmed this announcement and that he has a 3-year stay of execution. So it looks like nothing will be happening there any time soon.
