Ten Eyck Landscape Architects reimagines the campus at the University of Texas at El Paso.
FROM THE JANUARY 2017 ISSUE OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE
Christine Ten Eyck, FASLA, recalls driving across Arizona in the summer of 2012, talking on the phone with one of her clients at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). It was about a dream project: the opportunity to redesign the landscape of a historic university and create a major open space as its ceremonial heart. On the call, she was making the case to Greg McNicol, the school's associate vice president for facilities management, that her firm, Ten Eyck Landscape Architects, based in Austin, Texas, should lead the project rather than be subconsultant to an architecture firm as had been the plan. Her argument was simple: The scope of the work was almost entirely landscape architecture.
Ten Eyck successfully persuaded administrators to give her firm the job, even though they were skeptical at first that a landscape architect could lead such a complex project. Notable among the people she won over was Diana Natalicio, who had been hired as UTEP's first female president in 1988. During her tenure, the school had grown dramatically and become a top research university. Because of her leadership, Time magazine named her as one of the "100 Most Influential People" in the world in 2016.
Natalicio was the main champion of the project, which became known as the Campus Transformation. It ultimately cost around $25 million and opened to the public in the spring of 2015. The new landscape provides the UTEP community with beautifully designed and detailed plazas, lawns, water features, pedestrian ways, and plantings, all displaying the regional and ecologically responsive aesthetic for which Ten Eyck's firm has become known. Getting there, however, was not easy.

The school was founded in 1914 as the Texas State School of Mines and Metallurgy. It moved to its current site on the side of a slope overlooking downtown El Paso in 1917. The campus evolved as a car-centric place for commuters, with asphalt roads and parking lots as its defining features. New buildings stepped down the slope with seemingly little thought paid to creating open spaces, forming awkward routes for pedestrians and many leftover, unusable spaces. The functional heart of the university was far different from the classic collegiate imagery of the picturesque quadrangle. Natalicio had long believed that the campus environment did not contribute to the quality of the school. "It seemed far less in tune with its environment than it should," she says.
The project began in late 2011 when the university released a request for qualifications. A recent master plan by Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek Architects had outlined the project, but, McNicol says, "It just wasn't a bold enough vision." The new RFQ would cover conceptual design and cost estimation for nine open spaces in the core of the campus. Although the project area accounts for only 18 of the school's total 366 acres, it contains the academic, social, and administrative heart of the campus. Tying the transformation to the school's forthcoming centennial celebration was seen as a good way to get it paid for.
From the beginning, Natalicio understood the project needed to be ambitious if it were to succeed. Administrators knew generally how to improve the campus, but, she says, Ten Eyck "was the key in terms of putting the meat on the skeleton of the ideas" they had formed. "She is a remarkable person," Natalicio says of Ten Eyck, "and is as driven as I am."
Ten Eyck went to the campus for the first time on a Friday before the interview and spent the weekend sketching design concepts. "A lot of times you really kick yourself for bringing preconceived ideas to an interview," she says, "but this time we felt like we really had to go for it." The sketches helped her get the job along with the architecture firm Lake|Flato, with which she had teamed on this and other projects. They also look remarkably similar to what was eventually built.

The concept plan was centered on the goals of creating a pedestrian-oriented campus and re-establishing the landscape's native ecology. Although earlier plans had suggested restricting vehicles in the campus core, Ten Eyck's proposal went a step further and eliminated them altogether. Broad, tree-lined pedestrian corridors replaced the network of roads with what Ten Eyck describes as "tunnels of shade" running across campus. The signature design element—Centennial Plaza—was envisioned as an approximately two-acre open space dominated by an oval-shaped lawn panel that would create a student-focused activity space while also organizing the disparate arrangement of surrounding buildings.
Ten Eyck also proposed creating a series of arroyos to channel water from the mountains down to the Rio Grande, with smaller swales known as acequias added to collect and direct water from the edges of paths. El Paso averages fewer than 10 inches of rain per year, and when it does rain, it comes down hard and is gone quickly. "Having lived in the desert, I appreciate every little drop we get," Ten Eyck says. "We wanted to let the water soak in, and to create these special places." Rebuilding the natural drainage patterns would allow people to become more connected to the landscape and to the water that shapes it.
For Natalicio, adapting this ecologically focused mind-set would help the university "really walk the talk on environmental stewardship." Nearly 100 years of campus construction had replaced the native desert vegetation with pavement, patches of sloped, unusable turf, and generic nursery plants. Most of the stormwater had been directed off-site through gutters and underground pipes. This project presented the opportunity to correct that. "Christy's work and her sensitivity to the fragility and resilience of the desert environment made her the ideal person for the project," she says.

Unlike its Texas counterparts Dallas and Houston, El Paso is not a hub for high-profile design. It has a population of almost 700,000 people and is situated at the far western tip of the state next to Ciudad Juárez—the large city on the Mexico side of the Rio Grande border. For centuries, the two cities were combined as part of the El Paso del Norte (the Pass to the North) region, but were split bi-nationally as part of the 1848 treaty that ended the Mexican–American War. A 15-foot-high border control fence now separates them, but the two municipalities still share deep cultural and economic connections. Thousands of people legally cross back and forth across the border every day.
The landscape of the region is dry and craggy and cast in muted shades of gray and brown. There is hardly anything green, and it can all appear rather bleak to those used to being surrounded by trees. El Paso sits in the Chihuahuan Desert and climbs the lower slopes of the adjacent Franklin Mountains. It is a tough environment—one that likely inspires more poets and novelists than travel writers. At dusk, however, when the setting sun paints the surrounding hills orange and purple, the beauty of the city's desert context becomes undeniable.
The city itself is not particularly beautiful in any traditional sense. From above it appears as a sprawling mass of strip malls and suburban developments spread across the valley floor. At ground level, there is little in the way of parks or public open space readily found within city limits. The built landscape consists largely of concrete, asphalt, and bland architecture. Many of the city's most interesting buildings have been built at UTEP, which had spent far more money on the design of its architecture than its landscape. Most of its buildings display the Bhutanese style of architecture. That's right, Bhutanese.
The school is proud of its architectural heritage. The inspiration for it came from the wife of the school's first dean and an article on Bhutan she had seen in a 1914 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Although the buildings do appear a bit kitsch and overdone when you first see them, the style, as exemplified by massive battered walls, low-pitched red tile roofs, and narrow punched windows, actually fits well into the desert context. The consistency in scale and materials also establishes a unique and cohesive identity for the campus far more than the designed landscape ever did. Ten Eyck says her impression of the campus on her first visit was that "the last thing they needed was more buildings; they needed landscape architecture."
After a successful fund-raising campaign, Ten Eyck's firm was hired to get the project designed and built, but still as subconsultant to Lake|Flato. By this point, the scope of work had been reduced from the nine planned open spaces to five. The architecture was limited to one shade structure, which prompted Ten Eyck to make the call to McNicol. She showed administrators the résumé of her senior project manager, Kent Sundberg, ASLA, who had come to Austin from Philadelphia, where he had previously worked at Wallace Roberts & Todd. "The best thing I ever did was to hire someone like Kent," she says. His experience managing complex projects assured them the firm could do the work.
Ten Eyck put together a large team of 12 subconsultants. Along with typical firms such as lighting, irrigation, sustainability, and engineering, Biohabitats was hired for its stormwater expertise, and Tom Ryan, FASLA, of the Waltham, Massachusetts, firm Ryan Associates was brought on to provide peer review and offer advice on the set of technically complex construction documents. "When you're small like we are," she says, "you draw on resources where you can."
Site construction began in the spring of 2013 but quickly stalled once engineers realized the scope of utility work had been grossly underestimated. McNicol says many of the campus utilities had been installed in the 1930s and were crumbling. Nearly everything beneath the nearly 12-acre site needed to be replaced—adding a year to the construction schedule. "Those were the dark days," remembers Ten Eyck. "Every time we dug, we found some new surprise."
Another shock came when the general contractor requested that someone from Ten Eyck's office be on site seven days a week through the duration of construction. The contractor had far more experience constructing buildings than landscapes and was not comfortable with the intricacies and precision of the design's detailing.
Ten Eyck set up a team of four people, led by Sundberg, to oversee construction. They would be at UTEP five days a week, and Lewis Wright, a landscape architect in El Paso, was hired to be on call on weekends. Ten Eyck remained active throughout the whole project and visited the site often, as well. She keeps her firm between 10 and 13 people, and this project significantly stretched its workload. Not only would someone need to be in El Paso every day of the week, but there would be one fewer person in Austin working on all of the other projects.
Sundberg says working days on the site would start with a kickoff meeting at 7:00 a.m. and last until at least 5:00 p.m. After that, they would have to write a report to prepare for the next morning's meeting. "It was easily 12- to 14-hour days," he says. "It was not just managing the project in-house but also managing the entire team." He estimates working more than 60 hours per week on the campus alone for more than two years. The stress on the firm was significant, and there was turnover among the staff.

Ten Eyck says in hindsight she should have hired two more people. She, however, could not have predicted the amount of time the project would take. On top of that, they were closing their Phoenix office, which added its own level of stress. "It was just crazy," she says.
The design elements are grounded in the cultural and ecological history of the site and combine to create an intriguing juxtaposition between polish and rusticity. Ten Eyck's firm took what they learned from the design process and created an extensive set of design guidelines to ensure consistency for future work on campus.
Everything emanates from the oval at the heart of Centennial Plaza, which was pressed into the earth at one end to make it flat enough to accommodate many uses. A series of concrete seat walls with wide grassy treads make up the grade change, creating an amphitheater of sorts. Amphitheaters can often seem like trite and obvious features, but here the monumental scale makes it all work. Everything in the space reinforces the formal geometry, including stand-alone seat walls and beautifully detailed water features.
In contrast to the precision of these elements, roughly laid boulder walls help to transition the deceptively steep slope. Large, local andesite boulders are interspersed with desert plants to visually tie the project to the surrounding mountains. Sundberg estimates that more than 12,000 tons of boulders were excavated from under some four acres of removed asphalt and reused on site. The same demolition process, he says, produced approximately 230 tons of concrete paving that was used to create the pervious surface along many of the paths. Slabs of concrete were placed within fields of decomposed granite to emulate the precedent of stone plazas seen in both Bhutan and Mexico. "It was an excuse to reuse all of this paving that kids had walked on since the 1930s," Ten Eyck says.
As with many of the firm's other projects, weathered steel is used to great effect across the site. Particularly good examples are the simple, elegant footbridges placed across the swales and acequias to facilitate the cross circulation of people and water. The guardrails on a larger bridge are detailed as woven rebar to mimic a straw bridge Ten Eyck had seen in a photograph from Bhutan. The steel is also used to create large fire bowls in gathering areas overlooking Centennial Plaza, making the spaces comfortable and popular on cool evenings.

Not all of the applications are as successful, however. The 40-foot-high poles used to light the expansive lawn, which Ten Eyck selected because they reminded her of the indigenous ocotillo plant, are interesting as sculptural elements, but because the LED lamps emit such a bright white light, contrasting with the warmer, more ambient lights used elsewhere on site, the lawn feels more like a sports field than a campus space at night.
Light is a big issue during the day, too. Minus a few minutes in the morning and late afternoon, the glare from the sun can be intense. This is exacerbated by the use of light-colored manufactured concrete pavers in many of the walkways. Ten Eyck had wanted to use a richer, darker color, but the lighter pavers were ultimately chosen as a means to reduce the heat island effect.
Shade is an important part of creating comfortable spaces in most hot climates, but it's particularly critical in the desert. Ten Eyck addressed this problem by planting hundreds of fast-growing native mesquite trees along the walkways that run through campus. They provide relief from the oppressive sun, but also add vibrant ribbons of color that enliven the otherwise muted landscape. The trees support the strategy of planting native and indigenous species to blur the lines between the campus and the surrounding terrain. Ten Eyck said when she started the project, there "was not one plant that looked like it could blow in the breeze." Now, the diverse plantings add texture and visual interest, while also educating the community on the value of using native species.
Ten Eyck has been thrilled by the positive response she has received from people at UTEP, especially the students. "It means the world to work for a group that is so appreciative," she says. Of the more than 23,000 students who attend the school, more than 80 percent are Mexican American, and another 5 percent cross the border from Juarez. "It was important to connect them with their culture and the place they're in," she says. In 2014, the average annual family income of the graduating class was around $30,000. Providing higher educational opportunities for this population is at the core of UTEP's mission. The school has been recognized for several years by Washington Monthly magazine as the top school in the country for social mobility—meaning it best succeeds at providing access to college to first-generation and low-income students.
Natalicio says that students use the space "in large numbers day and night, throwing Frisbees, talking to one another, sitting by the water features, in the shade of trees," and that "families from the surrounding community come in the evening to walk around the oval." It has become a center of activity for both the campus community and its neighbors. "The campus now has a life that it didn't have before."

Nice article , thanks for high lighting this work- a good example of chasing autos ouT and building greens.


"With last-minute legal manoeuvres, the federal government will try to prevent the release of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr on bail on Tuesday in an Edmonton courtroom.
Edney also revealed for the first time that despite his young age when imprisoned, Khadr underwent the controversial torture of waterboarding or simulated drowning during his time in the U.S military prison in Guantanamo Bay. He also underwent three weeks of intense sleep deprivation, before Canadian officials interrogated him.
Khadr reported several abuses, including sleep deprivation, stress positions and being hung by his arms for extended periods of time, Edney said.
Corrections Canada recently reclassified him as a minimum security prisoner. He is eligible for a parole hearing in June.
Edney is eager to see his client enjoying his freedom.
\Keeping my fingers crossed, or as Quakers say, "Holding him in the Light" that he will be walking free and riding a bike tomorrow.
They daren't let him go as he has grounds to sue them for millions of dollars for kidnapping, false imprisonment, torture etc.


Good afternoon and thank you to all who are participating with us here today to mark "International Day Against Police Brutality" which was first organized in 1997 in response to two youths being severely beaten by Swiss Police.
My name is Heather Prisk and I am the wife of Robert Wright. My husband was seriously and permanently injured while in Police custody here in Terrace last year. I decided to organize this event as a response to what has happened to him. I have to be a part of the solution. Police brutality in our community has to stop. Police accountability has to start. I hope today will send a message that we the people will not accept Police Brutality as the status quo.
Everyday in the media we find another example of police abuse of authority. These are real stories, about real crimes, committed by real cops. 46.3% of all complaints against the RCMP are for abusive behaviour and language. The covering up of these abuses of power and breaches of trust by members of the RCMP constitute a form of corruption within their organization.
There has been a breakdown in the relationship between the RCMP and the Public. There can be no trust when Officers do "creative report writing" and "testi-lying" in court in an attempt to cover up their brutal behaviours and corrupt acts. These acts are being committed by individual officers and small groups and occur within a subculture that supports, tolerates and even attempts to hide them behind what is known as the "Blue Code of Silence" and they are held together by "Blue Glue".Corrupt, abusive even murderous behaviours are being covered up on a regular basis.
The "Blue Code of Silence"is about lies and deception. It lies to the community and deceives them about what cops are really doing. This code is well-known by all within the RCMP, from top management on down. It allows some cops to operate unethically, even criminally, and it prevents "good" cops from stopping them. Too many good cops have learned through this Code of Silence to tolerate bad cops and too many bad"Apples" have escaped consequences as a result. This Code of Silence within the RCMP is an aspect of new members being socialized into the force and it imposes negative consequences for those who break it. It is based on group loyalty and acceptance and it makes it difficult for officers to report the misconduct of their co-workers.
Police services do not operate in a vacume, isolated from the soci-political realities of the communities they serve. In other words, police behaviour is a reflection of the common values and practices in our society and in our community.
In Terrace, the Mayor and local business community have made it known to the RCMP that their Policing priority is that of cleaning up the downtown business core, a white-washing of sorts. To drive out of sight what mainstream society deems as undesirable: the most vulnerable and marginalized of society: the homeless, the mentally ill, the drug addicted and the alcoholic. It just so happens that most of these people are First Nations who are still struggling with the legacy of Residential Schools. Lack of understanding from the broader community only makes their plight worse.
Our Government uses taxpayer money to pay for their citizens to be abused, raped, ripped off, assaulted and even murdered. RCMP officers need to stop lying and covering up for those that operate outside the law and beyond their professional code of conduct. Just like mainstream society is encouraged to report on each other through the use of Tiplines and Crimestoppers, RCMP officers need to be urged to do the same within their organization.
When an officer knows that their co-worker is corrupt and abusive there needs to be a mechanism for reporting without fear of consequences, retaliation, retribution and even personal danger. Basically, they need to be encouraged and supported to "RAT"each other out just as they expect everyday citizens to do against one another.
Many were invited to speak here today. I asked local community service providers to participate in speaking out against Police Brutality as the people they serve are generally the ones who most often come into contact with the RCMP. I also invited our local politicians to speak for the people. I call on Nathan Cullen and Robin Austin to take seriously the horrendous allegations of RCMP abuse that is occurring within their constituency. It is time to stand up for those who are unable or too afraid to come forward. Something has to change. The most vulnerable people in our community are being abused and are suffering.
David Eby, 2011, "SMALL TOWN JUSTICE: A report on the RCMP in northern and rural British Columbia". British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.
How many incidents of police brutality involve alcohol? So what do the victim and police do? Blame each other! It's time we as a society recognized the real source of probably 90% of all violent incidents - alcohol, not the victim/perpetrator or the police. My point is, remove the variable of alcohol from almost all of these cases and there would have been no incident.
We don't have to make alcohol illegal, we just have to educate the public. It worked for tobacco, and there's no reason why it shouldn't work for booze. To begin with, the liquor and beer companies should be forced to list all of the possible side effects of alcohol when they advertise their product on tv or in print. Just as is required by law for the advertising of pharmaceuticals (which are far less harmful than alcohol).
Anyone who consumes alcohol and ends up physically injured, given that the vendor and manufacturer has made no effort at all to forewarn the public, should be suing the alcohol vendors and manufacturers - just like the tobacco class action lawsuits. If this happened on a regular basis, you could bet your bottom dollar all alcohol companies would quickly change their tune and begin giving full disclosure of their product to consumers.
Whether police use of force is "brutality" or not, matters little if you are brain damaged or dead. Reducing alcohol consumption in our society will reduce police violence of both varieties.
Hats off to all those who choose to participate in International Day Against Police Brutality which is what this article is about. This article is not about a particular person or situation rather it is about being against Police Brutality. Anyone with a brain in their head would be Anti-Police Brutality regardless of the circumstances that are used to justify brutal behavior. The comments being made in response to this article are overlooking the fact that this demonstration was about standing up for those that have been brutalized, murdered, raped, threatened into silence and abandoned by society in order to maintain a Police State. Why not have a Pro-Police Brutality demonstration of your own if you think that excessive use of force, serious injury and murder are the tools that officers should use in the course of duty! Watch some YouTube videos on police brutality and see for yourself how many victims did nothing to provoke such violence. Open your eyes, open your minds to reality.
I read the the report released by the Human Rights Watch on the brutality that women in Northern BC have suffered at the hands of the RCMP. Now if that is not an eye opener of all that is wrong with the RCMP today, then nothing will be. Mr. Paulson need to quit talking and studying the problem and fix it. And the Federal government's inaction only condones this further. I, for one, would not call the RCMP unless it was a matter of life and death, as someone I love may suffer unnecessarily at their hand...may even be killed.
Mr Wright most clearly broke the law to drink and drive and most likely has done so on numerous occassions. As such, I concur with the decision to arrest him to take him off our streets before he killed anyone. However, he should not be leaving the Detachment with serious injuries as he sustained within the Custody of the RCMP that night.
I can appreciate how difficult it is for the RCMP to attempt to subdue an individual who repeatedly fights back or who is uncooperatively intoxicated or who may cause self-injury (ie - the very common banging one's own head on a cell wall). One fellow even punched his own face to advise the arresting Officer he was going to accuse the Officer of doing so! I am quite certain that if I was arrested...I would not be fighting all the way to my cell. I would accept it and deal with it in the morning once I had a more clear head.
All I'm saying is that if my child left the Detachment with any injuries while in custody, I would most certainly have questions. Questions towards my child on how he handled himself within custody...as well as questions towards the Officers who had my child in their care. And I wouldn't stop until I had ALL the answers.
And this is the part of the equation this troubling article is addressing. The green RCMP recruit has no idea he or she is entering a realm of 10,000 year old Matriarchial led survivors of a historic proud culture. Damelahamid. The lands of the Gitxsan, Haisla, Nisga'a, Tahltan, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian. All brothers and sisters, all Totemic, all Matriarchial, all coming from one source, Tem - la - ham. all sharing the same origin stories, all Eagles or Ravens or Wolves of Killerwhales or Beavers or Frogs or Crows or Bears or the original clan from Damelahamid, Fireweed.
Some of these people do not even know their own culture because our culture forbid it so harshly.
How could the basic newby RCMP even have a clue? Most think about Indians as the Cree and the others Tipi tribes from back east, the tribes who fell 300 years ago and more. They have nothing in common except being indigenous to the land.
Some of these peoples hardly left their source totem/feasting life culture 100 years ago and it was a quick downward spiral to today.
How could we expect the young RCMP, or even the old Staff Sgt. and Inspector to understand unless they were fully educated?
And that is the only way anyone could begin to have compassion for this tragedy, understanding.
And that is the $64,000 question, change to what or how to?
It is not necessarily about choices. And it is not necessarily the nature vs nurture. In the case of the indigenous I believe it is part of both.
When a child is brought up without any nurturing (say residential school) and is sexually abused or returns to a family living in a sexually abusive environment, within an alcohol and drug soaked community and after barely surviving then having his or her own kids raised in this generational pattern, do you believe the child with no sence of normalcy, that which we as WASP's might expect as a minimum, to suddenly make good choices? Not raised but rather surviving through avoiding abusive Uncles and Aunts, Parents and Grandparents, who stumble drunk into their six year old bed? This child who then attempts to help their parent but continues within the community of disfunction, then finally excapes to the streets of Terrace.
That may have been the kids actual first good choice. To get out of the home, onto the street.
Now. Is that nurture or nature? And how do we as the decendents of the WASP's that assisted in creating this mess for the longest surviving culture on the planet. One continuously inhabiting the same region, 10,000 years; and further, maybe the only society with a clear governance structure led and directed by the elder women.
The survivors of our purposeful destruction seem to need assistance. Do we have compassion and recognize we caused this and need to address it with truth and honesty, or do we just attempt to sweep it up, throw it in a cell and pretend we had nothin to do with it?
My choice would be to declare the entire culture of this region a world heritage site. Nurture the hell out of it, help rebuild the matriarchs to their height of authority and watch the dignity and health return.
I am both a Libertarian and a Social Darwinist in my philosophical out look. Therefore, you will have to forgive me if I do not get sentimental over people who make bad choices and then do not what to accept the consequences of those choices.
I braved the awful weather and attended the event because I appreciate hearing people express themselves, and I was quite frankly - interested. It was a peaceful; yet challenging demonstration.
I spend alot of time with the homeless. Most of them know me by name and we hug and carry on while visiting together. And yes. They are sah-MELLY!!!! Unlike Mother Teresa....I do have hand sanitizer in my vehicle for afterwards.
Many of the homeless are on the streets by their own doing; while many are there due to what others have done to them. At times it is difficult for me not to judge...which is why I force myself to spend some time with them. I get the oddest looks from passersby when I am visiting with the peeps - especially that one time I tuned up one of their guitars (less one string) and we had a little sing-a-long session in Brolly's Square - ha ha.
All of the homeless I have spent time with speak of wishing to live in peace...and they say they are respectful to the RCMP and vise versa; while admitting they understand why they are arrested for public intoxication. I have still to hear from any of my 'peeps' that the RCMP in Terrace roughed them up. That being said...I believe there are misfits in every organization on this planet...and frankly - even if it's a small percentage...it needs to end.
I hope however you are not suggesting the beatings, brutality and deaths are an acceptable form for creating this change.
As we have written before, every social and municipal agency has asked for treatment centers and social programs to assist those most in need. Education is by far the most successful social program.
Yet all levels of Government are reducing their levels of funding for all these even though they collect greater volumes of tax revenue from the activities which are identified as the most harmful to society.
It is not right to use brute force to address a situation caused primarily by the government, which is also funding the RCMP. It is a visious self sustaining circle of abuse.
Something has to change. I have an article from 1967, where it describes the drunks in town and in George Little Park. They keep trying the same solution today that they did then. Insane.
So therefore the other thing that needs to change is the attitude that police beatings and arrests are going to make a difference. 45 years of it not working should be enough proof.
You are correct, something has to change. I want to walk down any street in our town and not have to step over someone that smells like the bottom of a sewer. Or have to run a gauntlet of vagrants who are trying to get money from you. I want the RCMP to clean up downtown, and by the way, they have made a good start but have a long way to go.

I Was Worried For Mikel Arteta After This Result – Arsenal Star
Watford Put Wall Around Real Madrid Linked Talent
Watford are not in any mood to sell teenage forward Joao Pedro in the January transfer window, despite rumoured interest from Real Madrid, according to Sky Sports News.
The 19-year-old Brazilian forward joined Watford in the January this year from Fluminense and made just three Premier League appearances before they were relegated last season.
The teenage talent has made an impression in the relentless Championship this season and has scored five goals in 13 appearances for the club in the English second tier thus far.
His performances in the Championship have piqued the interest of several clubs and Real Madrid are believed to be eyeing a move for him next month.
But it has been claimed Watford are not interested in selling the player after just one year at the club.
Pedro is a highly-rated young forward at Vicarage Road and they do not want to part ways with him just yet.
It has been claimed that they rate him in the same bracket as winger Ismaila Sarr in terms of talent and worth.
An offer of around £40m would have to be tabled even before Watford would consider letting Pedro go.
It remains to be seen whether any club are prepared to fork out such a fee for a player who has made 19 appearances for Watford thus far.

The Lightning Shooters and Shields are Mark Surge's original weapons.
The Lightning Shooters and Shields can shoot powerful arcs of electricity at multiple targets at once. These bolts can be aimed with extreme accuracy. When not being fired, the weapons can form a small electric shield around the user that protects against all energy blasts and many metal projectiles. However, the shields are useless against projectiles made of wood or other non-metallic materials.
Surge abandoned these weapons after his 2.0 upgrade in favor of an Ice Spear Blaster given to him at a ceremony honoring his bravery.
In Trials of Furno, Surge electrically charged a shipment of C-4000 that XPlode was attempting to steal, which shocked the villain.
Two Lightning Shooters and Shields were included in the set 7169 Mark Surge, released in 2010. They were co-injected with silver metallic and translucent yellow plastic and could be held in one hand as a combined weapon or dual-wielded in separate hands.

In just the past few days, parapsychologist and skeptic Dr. Richard Wiseman has launched an innovative experiment on the Internet-based social networking service Twitter which aims to test the reality of the ESP-based phenomenon known as remote viewing (RV). In the tradition of similar mass experiments such as that conducted by Stephan Schwartz's Moebius Group via Omni magazine in the 1980s, Dr. Wiseman hopes to enlist the aid of everyday humans in creating a large statistical sampling that will either tell for or against remote viewing.
The International Remote Viewing Association, founded in 1999 by prominent former military and civilian members of the remote viewing community to disseminate information about and responsible investigation into remote viewing, applauds the imaginative way Dr. Richard Wiseman is using Twitter to explore the existence of this interesting phenomenon. We find the premise behind the experiment's structure to be interesting and generally sound, and wish Dr. Wiseman well in demonstrating a successful outcome once all results are calculated.
That there may be too much similarity among some of the five targets in each of the four sets. To have the clearest chance of success, a remote viewing experiment of this sort requires there to be as much difference between the targets and as little similarity as possible (in technical terms, the targets should be as "orthogonal" as possible). However, in several of the target sets chosen for this experiment there is much overlap in composition, shape, color, and content which will likely make it harder for viewers to discriminate between them during the judging phase, when they must decide which of the targets they perceived during their remote viewing attempts.
The photos of the targets may perhaps be too narrowly cropped to minimally capture surrounding detail that might be perceived by would-be viewers. RV is a largely perceptual and minimally cognitive process, so the realities of human perception must be taken into account when selecting the targets to be used in the sets. Further, remote viewing is not a telepathic process. Thus, a viewer 's attention may not necessarily be drawn to the same things the experimenter chooses to focus on, but rather to some other attention-getting object or scene in the vicinity. Obviously, too wide a focus would include too much, making deciding between targets harder in a different way. There is a happy medium between too wide and too narrow which, though difficult to specify with precise selection rules, can easily be learned through experience or in consultation with someone who has such experience. It goes without saying that to maximize chances of success, each target location should be selected to be as uniform within the respective target area itself as it is different from other target settings.
Testing a large body of naive subjects may not demonstrate a strong effect, as initial success will vary dramatically across individuals with no or little prior remote viewing experience. Strong results produced by some individuals may be canceled out by the statistical noise of others who don't yet "get" how to do remote viewing.
It is unclear in the experimental design what measures have been taken to guarantee that all responses will be authentic (that is, unique and individual). It is technically feasible for groups or persons disenchanted with the purpose of the experiment to "spam" the results with large numbers of randomly chosen responses. This would have the effect of diluting or even completely submerging any real effect that might otherwise emerge. Such a strategy can only work to adversely affect the experiment – it cannot produce artificially inflated results, since that would require a large number of votes for the correct choice, which is not known (other than via ESP) for each trial until after it has been closed and no further responses are possible. In order to avoid this, the website and voting process must be constructive to eliminate the possibility of automated randomized or "spoofed" votes.
One final note related to the experiment but not having directly to do with its conduct: Dr. Wiseman's statistical assessment (if accurately represented in media articles) that three "hits" of four in the series would yield odds against chance of 1 in 125 may inadvertently overstate the case. After consulting with statistician and IRVA board member Professor Jessica Utts, it seems the actual statistical consequence of three "hits" would yield a more modest (but still significant) odds against chance of 1 in 36. As Dr. Utts observed, "The odds against chance of 1/125 would be appropriate if 3 hits were required in just 3 trials, rather than at least 3 hits in 4 trials."
Nothing said here is meant to criticize Dr. Wiseman for undertaking this commendable effort to demonstrate a remote viewing effect. We are pleased to see such research being conducted and stand ready to contribute advice or assistance when invited. We hope our comments above will be useful to future experiments, even if this one should turn out not to be as successful as we might like.

Welcome to the first installment of "In Case You Missed It," your monthly pop culture news recap written by yours truly. In this column you'll find all the useless Hollywood gossip you could ever wish for along with some bitter and brash commentary, which will never be in short supply. To ease you in, let's look at the biggest stories from the past few months.
Some of the biggest and baddest news stories that broke this summer surrounded the popular TLC family, the Duggars. If you're sick of hearing about it, join the club! The oldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Josh, who is married with four children, was not only involved in a molestation scandal involving five underage girls, but also admitted to a pornography addiction and extramarital affairs. While I admit that I myself am way too obsessed with this family for obvious intellectual reasons, these stories lit up on everybody's radar. In fact, after the first scandal broke, their TV show 19 Kids and Counting was taken off the air, and officially cancelled a few weeks later. Rumors flew unconfirmed for a while speculating that daughters Jill and Jessa would have a spin-off show. But with Jill, her husband Derick Dillard, and newborn son, Israel, headed to Central America for a mission trip, we weren't sure it would be possible. With their own family growing, newlyweds and soon-to-be parents Jessa and Ben Seewald could also use the money. And it was indeed confirmed by TLC just a couple weeks ago that there would be two or three specials dedicated to the changes in the Duggar sisters' lives, which will not surprisingly not include their brother, Josh.
As far as the box office goes, this summer was almost record-breaking, being the second highest grossing summer in history. With box office hits like Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and my shameless personal favorite, Inside Out, domestic ticket sales hit almost $4.5 million between May 1st and Labor Day weekend.
Since the dawn of time, divorce has been something of a disease in Hollywood. After the heartbreaking split of A-list couples this summer like actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck and country stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, other couples follow the trend. Megan Fox and Avril Lavigne are single again, as is Kaley Cuoco, famous for her role as Penny in The Big Bang Theory, who cited "irreconcilable differences" on the divorce papers after twenty-one months of marriage. These people really know how to choose 'em.
In baby news, celebrities are still coming up with ridiculous names for their children. Adam Brody and Leighton Meester recently confirmed the birth of their first daughter, named Arlo Day. If that doesn't sound like a name for a farm animal, I don't know what does. Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross welcomed their daughter, Jagger Snow, this summer. The good news? When she becomes a stripper, she won't even need to change her name! Seriously, people, why can't we stick to the classics? Giving your child a "unique" name doesn't make them unique, it makes them a bigger target for bullies. And while we're on the topic, giving your child a regular name with a fresh new spelling also does not make them unique. It makes them have to spell their name every time they say it for the rest of their life.
I don't often wish to get involved with politics in this column, but perhaps the biggest story this summer came from the US Supreme Court when they ruled that same-sex marriage would be legal in all 50 states. Sometimes I forget about this, but every time I remember I get this excited little jump in my stomach. Have we all appreciated this enough? Probably not. The LGBTQAI community has been fighting for their rights for too long. This is such a huge event in our history as a nation, and I could not have been more proud of our country on June 26th. This will be in textbooks, people! What a time to be alive!
Finally, I'd like to honor rapper Azealia Banks with my "Idiot of the Month" award for comparing the LGBTQAI community with the KKK, and then denying that she was homophobic. Honestly, I have no words.
For more information on any of the stories in this issue, Google will be your friend. Use it wisely. And now that you're caught up on the biggest pop culture bullshit from the past few months, go forth and spread your bullshit knowledge! Because our lives just wouldn't be the same without the useless gossip.


Solo singer songwriter from Norwich. Adam played only a few gigs for SoapBox back in 2010/11 at The Ten Bells but we much enjoyed his songwriting. I have tried to track him down but can not find where he is now. He was part of a small independent record label that made a few releases called 'Slip Discs' back in 2009. Please do get in touch if you are Adam, or know where he is now, as I would love to hear if he is still making music and update my archive.


Acetaminophen is one of the most widely used medicines for fever and pain, commonly found in drugs like in Tylenol. On Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that acetaminophen is causing rare, but dangerous skin reactions in some people.
Many of the reactions start with flu-like symptoms of fever and muscle aches, which are followed by rash, blistering and sloughing off of the outside of the skin, which can expose patients to potentially fatal infections. It's possible for victims to experience scarring, skin pigment changes, blindness and organ damage. The recovery can take weeks or months. The FDA says anyone who is taking acetaminophen and is experiencing skin symptoms, should stop taking it immediately.
"This new information is not intended to worry consumers or health care professionals, nor is it meant to encourage them to choose other medications. However, it is extremely important that people recognize and react quickly to the initial symptoms of these rare but serious, side effects, which are potentially fatal," said Dr. Sharon Hertz, the deputy director of FDA's Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Addiction in a statement.
It's not clear why the skin conditions have not emerged as a health concern sooner, given how many people take the pain-killing medication. Health officials say it's too soon to determine whether does is an issue, or whether the combination of acetaminophen with other ingredients or medications causes the adverse events. Often, such side effects only become apparent once a drug reaches market and is used by millions of patients, since manufacturers cannot anticipate every potential interaction between their product and others. For example, some statins, which lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation, were discovered to raise the risk of diabetes and other painkillers known as Cox-2 inhibitors were linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The announcement isn't the first to alert users to the potential harms of acetaminophen. Two years ago, the FDA limited prescription acetaminophen doses to 325 milligrams per tablet or capsule to prevent liver injury. For now, the FDA says people using the drug should not stop the medication unless they develop skin symptoms. The side effects are rare, and for most users, the agency says the benefits of the drug outweigh its risks.


It's hard to believe that Q2 is done and we're halfway through 2017. As I look back on the first six months of the year, they've been very good. Have I hit all of my goals? Certainly not – but I've reached the ones that were most urgent and critical. The one goal that I did not reach, that was important but not urgent, was to write more regularly, develop my blogging skills, and post articles to our website. The first half of my year has fallen short in this aspect, but there is still plenty of time to get back on track.
Be aware of the whirlwind: I love the metaphor of a daily "whirlwind" because it captures what happens to us if we're not very conscious about getting the things done that matter. It's easy to busy ourselves and react to the chaos of the day-to-day. It's far more challenging to have the discipline to ensure you get the big things done first, before focusing on the other items. For me, I find the easiest way to stick to my daily priorities is to separate my "to-do list" from my major projects and always work on the big things (in order of importance) first.
Act on lead measures: Just a quick refresher on lagging and leading measures. A lag measure tells you if you achieved your goal. Lag goals (and measures) define what you want to achieve, your end game. Examples include reaching sales targets, implementing a CRM system, losing 10 pounds, or, in my case, producing blogs for the month. One of the problems with lag goals is their retrospective nature – you either hit your target or you did not. Lead goals and measures, however, define what we can act on and proactively help us work to achieve our goals. Here's two leading measures that I came up with to help my goal of writing and blogging more: 1) Identify two blog ideas per week and then capture them on my scorecard. That's eight ideas or topics per month, and so when it's time to write I select a couple from the list. 2) Schedule a 90-minute block of time on Fridays to write. Use the first 60 minutes to write, then use the remaining 30 minutes for editing. After 90 minutes of time, I post. By implementing these lead goals, the previously daunting task of "maintain my blog" seems far more manageable and actionable.
Measure your progress with a simple scorecard: My last takeaway from the book was to post leading measures in a place that is visible, and to measure progress frequently – in my case weekly. High visibility and measurability helps you to keep on track and stay focused on the task ahead.
So here's my challenge to you: review your goals from the beginning of the year, and select one that is really important to you but for some reason you've not been able to accomplish. Pick only one and update your goal to reflect what you want to accomplish by 12/31. Then, think of at least two leading goals that will affect your end game goal. Develop a way to measure those leading goals and place them in a visible place, then take your eye off the lagging goal and relentlessly execute on, and measure, the leading goals. My guess is you'll be amazed with the progress you can make!

Lorimer Park
Trail in autumn
Lorimer Park sign
New bridge
Snowy bridge
This 230 acre oasis of woods and meadows, in the suburbs of eastern Abington Township, attracts visitors to its natural beauty year-round. A bequest from the late George Horace Lorimer, former Editor-in-Chief of The Saturday Evening Post, Lorimer Park is a haven for wildlife under a canopy of huge trees. Activities include hiking, picnicking, bird and animal watching, horseback riding (with your own horse), and, in the winter, sledding and cross-country skiing.
For the angler, Pennypack Creek is stocked with trout by the PA Fish & Boat Commission. Overlooking the creek is majestic Council Rock where, legend says, Native Americans used to meet to plan their activities. It now serves as a beautiful and popular backdrop for wedding photographs.Adjacent to the facility, 5.4 miles of the former Fox Chase-Newtown rail line has been converted to a recreational trail. This crushed stone path provides level hiking and biking and views of the Pennypack Creek. The trail now stretches from Rockledge Borough in the south to Byberry Road near Mason's Mill Park in the north. Parking is available along Robbins Ave. next to Rockledge Borough Park, the Lorimer Park lot on Moredon Road, and the trail lots at 800 Welsh Road (Rt. 63) in Bethayres, and 1750 Byberry Road next to the Mason's Mill Business Park.
Open daily, 7:00am to sunset.
We offer hiking, bicycling, equestrian trails, picnicking, and fishing.

PM Modi interacts with beneficiaries of Saubhagya scheme: 'Unfortunate' that Congress failed to electrify villages in 70 years
New Delhi | Updated: Jul 19, 2018 10:06 AM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the erstwhile Congress-led UPA governments for not electrifying villages despite remaining in power for maximum time post-Independence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the erstwhile Congress-led UPA governments for not electrifying villages despite remaining in power for maximum time post-Independence. Interacting with the beneficiaries of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana and Saubhagya scheme across the country via NaMo app, Modi said that his government is not only focussed on electrification but has also reformed the distribution systems across the country. He said that it was 'unfortunate' that over 18,000 villages in the country were not electrified in last 70 years.
"It has been 70 years since we attained Independence but 18,000 villages did not have electricity connections. This was quite unfortunate," he said.

He reminded that in 2005, then (Congress) government had promised to electrify every village by 2009. "The then President of the ruling party went a step ahead and said we will bring electricity to every home. Needless to say, none of that happened during their long tenure."
Modi said that he had announced from the ramparts of the Red Fort that every village will be electrified and fulfilled it. "We walked the talk and went to every village," he said.
Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana – 'Saubhagya' scheme was launched by Modi on September 25, 2017. Under Saubhagya, free electricity connections to all households (both APL and poor families) will be provided in rural areas and poor families in urban areas. There are around 4 crore un-electrified households in the country which are targeted for providing electricity connections by December 2018. Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) has been designated as the nodal agency for the Saubhagya scheme.

AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund Announces Partial Exercise of Over-Allotment Option
John Jannarone
IPO-Edge.com November 22, 2019
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") announced today that the underwriters of its initial public offering of common shares, which closed on October 31, 2019, partially exercised their over-allotment option having purchased an additional 2,068,135 common shares of the Fund. The closing of the partial exercise of the overallotment option occurred on November 19, 2019. The gross proceeds of $41,362,700 from the partial exercise of the over-allotment option brings the total amount raised in the Fund's initial public offering to $656,362,700. The Fund's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AIO."
Pursuant to their over-allotment option, the underwriters of the Fund's initial public offering may still exercise the right to purchase up to an additional 2,544,365 common shares of the Fund until December 12, 2019, which would bring the total amount raised in the Fund's initial public offering to $707,250,000. The underwriters may not exercise such option in full or at all.
The Fund is a diversified, limited-term, closed-end fund whose investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund has a limited term feature pursuant to which it intends to terminate on or about October 29, 2031 (the "Dissolution Date"). Under certain circumstances the Fund's Board of Trustees may, without shareholder approval, extend the Dissolution Date by as much as eighteen months after the initial Dissolution Date, which date would then become the Dissolution Date. Each common shareholder would be paid a pro rata portion of the Fund's net assets upon termination of the Fund (the Fund is not a "target term" fund and will not seek to return the Fund's initial public offering price per share)1.
AllianzGI U.S. serves as the investment manager of the Fund. AllianzGI U.S. is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. ("AAMA") and of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company.
BofA Securities, Morgan Stanley, UBS Investment Bank and Wells Fargo Securities were the co-lead underwriters in connection with the offering. The co-lead underwriters are not affiliated with AllianzGI U.S.
The Fund's daily New York Stock Exchange closing prices, net asset value ("NAV") per share, as well as other information, including updated portfolio statistics and performance will be available at us.allianzgi.com or by calling the Fund's shareholder servicing agent at 1 800 254 5197.

Data as of September 30, 2019
1Subject to certain conditions, the Fund's Board of Trustees may, as of a date within twelve months preceding the Dissolution Date, cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer to all shareholders to purchase 100% of the then-outstanding common shares at NAV. If immediately upon completion of such a tender offer, the Fund has at least $200 million of net assets, the Fund's Board of Trustees may, subject to certain conditions, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval and the Fund would no longer be subject to a limited term. If, following such a tender offer, the Fund would have less than $200 million of net assets, the tender offer will be canceled and the Fund will terminate as scheduled.
The Fund is a newly organized, diversified, limited-term, registered, closed-end management investment company with no operating history. Shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Fund, usually trade on a national stock exchange, and these shares frequently trade at a significant discount from their NAV, which may increase risk of loss for investors.
It is expected that all of the Fund's debt instruments and a substantial portion of its convertible securities will initially consist of securities that are, at the time of investment, rated below investment grade or securities that are unrated but determined by the Fund's investment manager to be of comparable quality (sometimes referred to as "high yield securities" or "junk bonds"). Because of the risks associated with investing in high yield securities and other risks associated with the Fund's principal investment strategies, including, without limitation, limited term and tender offer risks and risks associated with artificial intelligence-related companies, an investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk and should be considered speculative. Investors should consider their investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors, and the Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Although it currently does not intend to do so, the Fund may add leverage to its portfolio by issuing preferred shares, borrowing money, issuing debt securities or entering into transactions akin to borrowings (such as reverse repurchase agreements and applicable derivatives transactions). Leverage is a speculative technique and any use of leverage would involve special risks and costs.
Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible debt securities of similar quality. The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and unrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Instruments of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and to repay principal, and are commonly referred to as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds." Secured loans provide lenders with an interest in underlying collateral that is intended to reduce the risk of loss in bankruptcy or bankruptcy-like scenarios. However, there can be no assurance the liquidation of such collateral would satisfy an issuer's obligation to the Fund in the event of issuer default or that such collateral could be readily liquidated under such circumstances.
Investors should consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, fees and expenses carefully before investing, which are disclosed in the prospectus. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the Fund, should be read carefully before investing. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective or be able to structure its investment portfolio as anticipated. For a free final prospectus or more information about the Fund, please call 1 800 926 4456.
This document is not an offer to sell securities and is not a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

THIS COLLECTION HAS NOW BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM AT GAYDON. PLEASE CONTACT US OR THE BRITISH MOTOR INDUSTRY HERITAGE TRUST FOR DETAILS. history@britishmotormuseum.co.uk. Unpublished from Archives Hub 29/8/2019. Morris Motors (1926) Limited was formed in 1926 as an amalgamation of the following companies: Morris Motors Limited (formed in 1919), Osberton Radiators Limited, Morris Engines Limited (formerly Hotchkiss of Coventry) and Hollick & Pratt Limited, until then all separately and privately owned by W.R. Morris. The formation of the new company was marked by the first public issue of (cumulative preference) shares in a Morris enterprise. However, W.R. Morris retained all the ordinary shares in the new company and so remained in sole control of its affairs. In 1929, the company name was changed to Morris Motors Limited. In due course, the company also took over a number of other companies previously owned privately by W.R. Morris, thus: 1935, Wolseley and MG; 1936, Morris Commercial Cars, Morris Industries Exports (later Nuffield Exports) and S.U. Carburettors; 1938, Riley; 1940, Mechanizations and Aero (formerly Wolseley Aero Engines; later Nuffield Mechanizations). In addition, a number of subsidiary companies were established. From 1937, Morris Motors Limited became the main holding company for all of the Morris and associated companies (previously there had been a holding company, Morris Industries Limited). In 1952, Morris Motors Limited merged with The Austin Motor Company Limited to form The British Motor Corporation Limited (BMC); afterwards the status of Morris Motors Limited as such was that of an operating subsidiary of BMC, and the company ultimately became dormant.
