In 2020, luxury real estate investors should keep an eye on three key cities: Paris, Singapore and Vancouver. Each of these is expected to heat up, boosted by sweeping transit upgrades, increasingly robust tech sectors, and changing political conditions in their regions.
In Paris, for instance, a multibillion-euro Grand Paris project is planned to improve transit and revamp metro stations, and anticipation of the 2024 Summer Olympic games is further helping to invite investment and development.
"We're catching up," said Hugues de la Morandière of Agence Varenne, a Savills partner in Paris. "Paris had a slow period, but [President Emannuel] Macron has brought more activity to France, and Paris is a very good place for investors today."

In Singapore, mainland Chinese buyers are turning toward the Southeast Asian capital as a safer place for investment than Hong Kong, with Indonesians and Malaysians also showing interest.
"Investors consider Singapore real estate as a safe asset for wealth preservation and capital appreciation," said Han Huan Mei, director of research of List Sotheby's International Realty, Singapore. "Besides those top three nationalities, we see increasing new affluent buyers from developing countries, such as Cambodia, investing in Singapore."
And Vancouver is showing signs of recovery after a slowdown in the luxury sector, the result of a building boom and a high tax on foreign buyers. Real estate analysts say the state of luxury real estate in the Canadian city won't experience a radical change this year, but it still offers opportunities for discounts on high-end properties.

Real estate analysts predict an especially busy 2020 for Paris. One major factor is the €26 billion (US$28.7 billion) Grand Paris project, a plan to transform Paris into a "world city," a key element of which is the Grand Paris Express transit scheme. This expansion of the city's metro system will include four new lines and an extension of two existing ones, and the new stations are anticipated to present many development opportunities. The French capital will also play host to the 2024 Olympic games, further spurring development and investment.
"Prime Paris is having a strong run at the moment," said Paul Tostevin, director of world research with Savills in London. "Looking back, prime prices grew by 6.4% in 2019, according to our world index."
This year, Savills predicts slightly slower, but still robust increases in its global prime residential report for 2020, with a forecast of 4% to 5.9% price growth in Paris.
Furthermore, Paris was ranked No. 1 for its real estate prospects in 2020 by PricewaterhouseCoopers in its Emerging Trends in Real Estate report for Europe, with one fund manager interviewed calling the city "an economic powerhouse."

The Macron administration also instituted changes to the tax on capital income, boosting the disposable income of top-earning households in France and encouraging luxury real estate investment.
At the high end, home prices are expected to continue to increase this year, in part because of limited inventory and land. In Central Paris in particular, the opportunities for new development are quite limited due to scarcity of land for new developments.
"We do expect continued growth, based on the fact that the market for prime and ultra prime is very narrow," Mr. de la Morandière said. "Paris is a fully built city, and within the ring road, it's a fairly small market. When you focus on the first eight arondissements, it's the size of a provincial town."
But with the plan for new train stations linking outer suburbs to the city, analysts expect new prime developments to spring up and attract wealthy buyers.

The bulk of demand for prime real estate in Paris comes from domestic buyers, though more investors from the U.S., the Middle East, and elsewhere in Europe are entering the market.
"International buyers look for turnkey properties, and Paris has been a little later on the curve with that," Mr. Tostevin said. "But lately, we've seen developers go in and purchase buildings and redevelop them to high specifications, putting in the amenities you'd find in other top-tier world cities and bringing it up to global standards."
Brexit is another factor driving both French-born and international buyers to Paris.
"A lot of French people who work in finance and live in London will want to come back, because of professional, educational, or cultural reasons, and due to concerns it will not be as easy to go back and forth between France and the U.K.," Mr. de la Morandière said. "Brexit definitely brings more money into the market. Some banks, like JP Morgan, are moving people to Paris, which will strengthen the financial district."

These factors together mean that Paris will continue to be a smart investment for 2020, though price growth may slow a bit, Mr. de la Morandière said, because "the catch-up effect is pretty much over."
Still, limited space and inventory means competition for prime properties will remain strong.
"By global standards, Paris is still pretty punchy compared to other forecasts we're looking at for 2020," Mr. Tostevin said.
Singapore was ranked the top market for real estate investment in PricewaterhouseCoopers's Emerging Trends in Real Estate report for the Asia-Pacific region in 2020. In recent years, Singapore's prime markets suffered from an oversupply of high-end properties that slowed the pace of the luxury sector.
In 2019, however, the office sector is booming, with large corporations enticed to open branches in Singapore due to favorable perceptions of its safety, and vacancies are at an all-time low, according to the PwC report.

"Singapore is valued for its political stability, strong financial sector, open economy and stable currency. Moreover, the Singapore government's proactive and progressive stance in handling the global economic crisis and harnessing technology to stay ahead as a global city bodes well for multinational corporations to set up their regional and international headquarters here," Ms. Mei said. "In recent years, several ultra-high-net-worth families from Asia, as well as some from Europe and America, set up family offices in Singapore, as they are keen to use Singapore as a gateway for their investments into Asia."
This trend should continue in 2020, with Knight Frank predicting in its Prime Global Forecast for 2020 that Singapore will experience real estate price growth at around 3%.
In recent years, mainland Chinese buyers have been the main drivers of demand for luxury residential real estate, motivated in part by political unrest rendering Hong Kong a less attractive destination for investment. In January, inquiries from Chinese buyers were up by 15% in January.
"In the past two years, around 30% of the luxury homes sold were bought by mainland Chinese," Ms. Mei said. "Having said that, we expect Singapore's strategic position as an Asian gateway and our strong fundamentals to continue to attract the affluent in an increasingly uncertain global market."

Singapore's 20% tax on residential property purchases by foreigners may deter some investors, though it isn't stopping ultra-high-net-worth buyers from purchasing the city's "super penthouses." Last year, for instance, the founder of British electronics company Dyson bought a $54.17 million three-story unit in Singapore's Wallich Residence.
One potential snag for Singapore, however, is the currently unfolding coronavirus crisis, which has resulted in travel restrictions placed on mainland Chinese, Ms. Mei said. Currently, Singapore has a travel ban on visitors from mainland China, and may extend the ban to those from Hong Kong.
Recent years have been challenging for prime real estate in Vancouver. The city's formerly blazinghot markets, where the price of single-family homes jumped from C$400,000 to C$1.75 million in just 15 years cooled significantly in the wake of a foreign buyers tax imposed in 2016. Many buyers began turning toward other Canadian cities, like Montreal, for investment.
The British Columbia city won't see a dramatic bounce back in 2020, analysts say, but there are signs of improvement. The number of home sales rose in 2019, though prices remained below the region's 10-year average.
Foreign buyers, especially those from Asia, have retreated, leaving Vancouver with an excess of high-end homes.
"Chinese demand was a huge driver of the luxury market, but it has pulled back significantly," said Steve Saretsky, a Vancouver realtor who blogs about the city's real estate. "Developers built a lot of new luxury single-family homes, and we were left with an oversupply. I think it's going to be a better year for the luxury market, but there's still a lot of supply to work through."
It will take time for the city to absorb all that inventory, he added, given that now most buyers in Vancouver are locals seeking more affordable properties.
But for wealthy investors, there is ample opportunity to buy luxury housing at a discount.

"If you have C$2 million to C$3 million kicking around, you have the pick of the litter," Mr. Saretsky said. "You could wait it out for a good deal, because there are definitely sellers out there who need and want to sell."
There is also new interest in Vancouver real estate coming from the tech sector. After the Amazon HQ2 deal fell apart in New York City, the tech giant announced it would expand and bring new jobs to its Vancouver offices. Other companies, like Shopify, are planning Vancouver debuts as well.
"Tech is booming in Vancouver, bringing in a lot of wealth and entrepreneurs," said Mike Rampf of Engel & Völkers Vancouver. "We're seeing more activity now than in the previous two years, with more buyers coming out to look at our properties, and more accepted offers in higher price brackets."

And though the number of foreign buyers has diminished, Mr. Rampf said that there are a number of Canadian passport holders from Hong Kong showing interest in the city, as they seek a more stable region in which to invest.
The safe, pleasant lifestyle Vancouver offers should continue to be a significant draw for buyers looking for a city in which to put down roots.
"Between the level of educational opportunities and the talent coming here, there are so many positive attributes to this city," Mr. Rampf said. "There are going to be families moving here on a very regular basis. I see an optimistic future and the luxury market will stay strong."

Keith Whitley – I'm No Stranger to the Rain Lyrics
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm a feeling down
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
Oh no, I'm no stranger to the rain
But I'll put this cloud behind me
Ride the wind and dance in a hurricane

Introducing the We Are Undefeatable campaign
Date: 19 June 2020 Author: Energise Me
We're passionate about supporting people with long-term health conditions to move more, in ways that work for them. This is why we'll be championing the We Are Undefeatable campaign across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
We Are Undefeatable is a national campaign to support the 15 million people in England who live with one or more long-term health conditions. It was launched on the 29th August to help those with conditions such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis and Parkinson's to build physical activity into their lives.
15 of the major health and social care charities* have joined forces to lead the campaign, which is backed by insight and National Lottery funding from Sport England.
By championing We Are Undefeatable in our area, we hope to inspire more local residents to get active in a way that's right for them.
Why We Are Undefeatable is needed
One in four people in England lives with at least one long-term health condition. And these numbers are rising.
You are twice as likely to be inactive if you have a health condition. However, being active can help to manage over 20 conditions such as depression and type 2 diabetes. It can also reduce the impact and severity of some symptoms.
According to Sport England's research, 69% of people with a long-term health condition want to be more active. But lack of energy, fear of making health issues worse, and the unpredictable nature of conditions can get in the way.
Who features in the campaign
We Are Undefeatable puts the spotlight on real people. Individuals, such as Jo (video below) inspired and star in the campaign. It celebrates them getting active, despite the ups and downs of their conditions.
We'll be capturing stories from local people to tie in with the campaign. If you have a long-term health condition and have found an activity that works for you then we'd love you to share your story with us. Likewise, if you coach someone who could be an inspiration to others then please get in touch with Georgia or Sara.
Where to find out more
Explore the We Are Undefeatable website to find stories and tips for getting active with a health condition. You can also access the Supporter Hub if you'd like to join us in supporting the campaign. It's packed full of images and posters you can share to raise awareness of the campaign. Just make sure you read the guidelines.
*The charities behind the campaign are Age UK, Alzheimer's Society, Asthma UK, Breast Cancer Now, British Lung Foundation, British Red Cross, Diabetes UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Mind, MS Society, Parkinson's UK, Rethink Mental Illness, Royal Voluntary Service, Stroke Association and Versus Arthritis.

The highlight of your day will be a visit to Butrint – an UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the centuries, the ancient town had disappeared under layers of silt and vegetation. In recent years, however, archaeologists have uncovered some of the finest working town remains in the Mediterranean. At the edge of the lake is the ancient city of Vouthrota. The Venetian Tower near the entrance, the ancient theatre, the Temple of Asclepius, the ancient gymnasium, the Roman Baths, the Roman Baptistery with its priceless mosaic floor, the Lion gate and the enormous Cyclopean walls will transport you back in time from 2,500 years till the 3rd century A.D. At the top of the hill stands the Venetian Castle, offering breath-taking, panoramic views of the ancient city, the lake and the vast plains below. Lunch is served upon your return to Saranda. In the afternoon, there will be a walking tour of Saranda, after which we finally depart this land that time forgot.
11:50 Arrival at the archaeological area of Butrint. Tour lasts between 90-110 minutes depending on age. The tour for elderly or disabled guests will include 70% of the archaeological area (with a separate guide when necessary). There is a small bar/ kiosk at the entrance to the site. Public bathroom facilities are available at the end of the tour in the Venetian Castle on the Acropolis hill.
14:10 Arrival at the same restaurant in Saranda for a buffet-style lunch.

Seán Creagh and Stephen 'Shorty' Carroll have become the latest additions to MTK Global's talented stable of fighters.
The Dubliners have both signed management deals with a view to competing in some tasty all-Irish bouts in the new year.
Tallaght light-welterweight Creagh – a former white-collar boxer, who has built a 7-1 paid record – has teamed up with MTK for a second spell since turning pro two-and-a-half years ago.
The 29-year-old Killinarden 'Creaghsy Horse' has been busy training under former pro Eddie Hyland ahead of what he hopes will be a busy 2018.
"I've had two fights with Eddie and everything's going great, I'm improving all the time. I love it there and everyday in the gym is like a school day," said Creagh, who is hoping to book some domestic dust-ups early in the new year.
Ballyfermot's Carroll is also keen on competing for local and national bragging rights when he makes his return to the ring in 2018, having last boxed in May when he defeated Hungarian journeyman Ferenc Jarko.
The 25-year-old plans on campaigning at welterweight but he is open to the idea of taking on his domestic rivals.
"I'd definitely be interested in those fights," said Carroll. "A fight between myself and Seán has been long in the making, so that could definitely happen and hopefully a title will be on the line when it does," continued the undefeated 7-0 fighter, who is looking forward to getting back in action after linking up with new trainer Brian Guy at the Colosseum Gym.
"I'm over the moon to sign with MTK," said Carroll. "I retired a while ago because I wasn't busy and I wasn't active. I wasn't paying bills as they say, so I'm happy to be with MTK now and hopefully I'll get to box on some big fight nights in Dublin in the future.

"As Long as I Can, I Have to Do It": Holocaust Survivor Ruth Kapp Hartz Speaks at U-32
Shannon O'Kelly May 31, 2018
On April 26th, Ruth Kapp Hartz stood in front of an auditorium of U-32 students and told the story of a childhood in hiding. The audience was silent as she described what it was like to flee cities, hide in basements and under trap doors, in convents and the houses of good samaritans.
Ruth Kapp Hartz speaks to students at U-32
Ruth was born in 1937 in Palestine. Later the family moved to France. Her parents were German-Jewish. They spent the first years of her life running from persecution by the Nazis.
When she was four, Ruth's sixteen year old cousin Jeannette told her "Your name is Renée." Ruth recalled that as her earliest memory to the audience.
Ruth's family was uncommonly lucky during the Holocaust. Many of them—including both of Ruth's parents—survived. Ruth grew up to attend the University of Paris and graduate with a degree in biochemistry. She emigrated to the United States in 1958 and taught French for over thirty years.
Later Ruth worked with one of her former students, Stacy Cretzmeyer, to write a book about her experiences. Your Name is Renée was published in 1999. The book inspired her to continue sharing her story. For almost two decades, Ruth has been travelling the country and giving presentations.
"There's no such thing as a typical reaction," Ruth said of her presentations in an interview with the Chronicle. "[The students] are shocked to find out the fate of young children."
Educating the younger generations is one of Ruth's main goals.
"What moves me the most is the interest that is still there, so many years after the event," she said.
Ruth also spoke about her concern over racism and antisemitism today. "I always get very positive reactions, and yet you open the newspaper or listen to the news and it's horrific.".
In the end, Ruth's message for students is simple: Vote.
"It's a privilege," she said. "If it's taken away from you, like it was during the Holocaust and in so many other countries, then people think it's horrible."
"The candidates may not be the ideal ones, but even if you have to vote against somebody it is better than not voting."
"I have examples but I won't say," she added with a laugh.
Ruth doesn't plan to stop giving presentations anytime soon.
"I feel, as long as I can, I have to do it."
You can learn more about Ruth's story in the book Your Name is Renée by Stacy Cretzmeyer and on her website www.yournameisrenee.com

Father of black woman killed by white Texas officer dies
Updated: Sun 8:43 AM, Nov 10, 2019
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The father of a black woman fatally shot by a white police officer inside her Fort Worth, Texas, home has died.
In this Monday, Oct. 14, 2019 photo, flowers lie on the sidewalk in front of the house in Fort Worth, Texas, where a white Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson, a black woman, through a back window of her home. (AP Photo/David Kent, File)
A spokesman for Marquis Jefferson, Bruce Carter, tells the Dallas Morning News that the father of Atatiana Jefferson suffered a heart attack and died Saturday night at a Dallas hospital. Carter tells KDFW that Jefferson "just couldn't get back from what happened with his daughter."
The 28-year-old Jefferson was killed last month after police went to her home for a welfare check. The Fort Worth officer, Aaron Dean, was charged with murder after resigning from the force.
After his daughter's death, Marquis Jefferson sought a temporary restraining order to gain control over the funeral arrangements from his daughter's aunt. A deal was eventually reached and the funeral was rescheduled.


Responding to government regulations and consumer preference for more environmentally conscious, energy-efficient products, lighting manufacturers are developing solutions that offer new levels of energy efficiency, durability and long life. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have clearly emerged at the top and are being seen in places ranging from outdoor signage to traffic signals to home applicants. LED lights offer 75 percent power savings and offer attractive features to illuminating businesses, restaurants and homes, functioning well inside and out.
Polycarbonate plastic provides superior benefits as the exterior elements for LED lighting because of crystal-like clarity that holds up over many years and its sturdiness. Because of high-cost interior components in LED lighting, and its 15-25 year performance expectation, manufacturers provide customer benefits by covering LED lights with materials that provide extreme durability, stay clear and last a long time—giving LED the performance benefits of polycarbonate.
Other benefits of polycarbonate plastic in LED lighting include heat resistance, transparency, impact resistance, low flammability, and increased energy efficiency.
Polycarbonate is used in security glazing—strengthening prisons, guard booths, bank teller shields, convenience stores, hurricane shutters, hockey rink surrounds, etc. Specifically, polycarbonate's impact strength makes it an excellent choice for security, including blast and bullet-resistant glazing. Clear as glass, it also presents an advantage over alternative security measures such as wire glass and metal screens. When used in a multiwall format, polycarbonate provides significant insulation with resulting energy efficiency benefits. In addition, when treated with solar control technology, polycarbonate provides protection from UV radiation and can also increase energy efficiency.
Epoxy resins help to provide durable, high gloss outdoor coatings, even sealers for concrete floors and other heavy duty protective coatings. Other uses include decorative aggregates, metal substrates (bridges, handrails, roofing) and application to concrete and wood.
Polycarbonate is used extensively in sports stadium roofs to protect fans from nasty weather—and let the game go on—while allowing in natural light and saving energy at the same time.
Epoxy resins are used in industry to make molds and castings. High-strength, heat-resistant composite parts, such as those reinforced with carbon fibers, fiberglass, or Kevlar™, are also made from epoxy resins.
Water-based epoxy paints dry quickly, providing a tough, protective coating. Their low volatility and easy clean-up with water make them very valuable for factory cast iron, cast steel, and cast aluminum applications.
Other types of epoxies are used as powder coats for washers, dryers and other household appliances. Steel pipes and fittings used to transport oil, gas, or drinking water are commonly protected from corrosion by epoxy coatings. These coatings are also widely used as primers to improve the adhesion of automotive and marine paints, especially on metal surfaces where rust resistance is important.
The interior of metal cans and containers are often coated with epoxy to prevent corrosion, especially when intended for acidic foods like tomatoes. In addition, epoxy resins are used for high-performance and decorative flooring, such as terrazzo flooring, chip flooring, and colored aggregate flooring.
In aircraft, epoxies are used as a binder for reinforcements such as glass, carbon, or Kevlar™. The resulting composite materials are strong, but very light weight. Epoxy resins are versatile and can be made to resist the extreme temperatures experienced by aircraft and improve aircraft safety by retarding flames.
For instance, flame-retardant epoxies, and those able to withstand extremes of temperature—from 400°F to −256°F—have been developed especially for use in aircraft. Polycarbonate blends are used widely in aircraft because they are lightweight durable and meets requirements for low flame, smoke and toxicity that are important in materials used in aircraft interiors.
Most airplanes have polycarbonate inside interiors—reducing airplane vehicle weight and increasing fuel efficiency. Shatterproof polycarbonate is also an important safety feature in aircraft windows.
From conservatory glazing to architectural glazing—polycarbonate sheets are used extensively in solar and construction glazing. Greenhouses, bus stop shelters and windows all benefit from polycarbonate sheets and its protective layers. Polycarbonate sheets are also used extensively in signs and can be found in road signs and large advertising displays. Signage made with BPA creates a UV-resistant product with outstanding weatherability.
Epoxies are frequently used in the manufacture and repair of boats. Their strength, low weight, and ability to fill in gaps and stick to many different materials, including timber, make them ideal for this purpose.
Most adhesives known as "structural "or "engineering" adhesives are epoxies. These high-performance adhesives are used to make aircraft, cars, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, laminated woods used in home-building and other products in which strong bonds are essential. Epoxies can stick to wood, metal, glass, stone and some plastics, and many can be more heat- and chemical-resistant than glues.
Wind turbine rotor blades depend on epoxy resin. The high strength per weight of epoxies makes them ideal contributors for this application, because blades must be extremely strong and durable, but also lightweight. A composite of the resin reinforced with fiber, such as glass, is sucked into a pair of molds. The resulting hollowed out parts fit together like clamshells. An epoxy-based bonding paste glues the halves together to make a single rotor blade.


Lukas Pairon (°1958) studied philosophy at a private university in Lugano, Switserland, and later obtained a Master in educational science (specialization 'politics of education') at the Université Paris VIII-Vincennes.
Following his studies, he worked for several years as a young researcher in the field of adult education and literacy programs at Unesco in Paris and at the Ministry of Culture of the French-speaking Community of Belgium (Ministère de la Culture, Communauté française) in Brussels.
But at the age of 27, he changed his professional occupation by becoming the artistic director of the contemporary music and dance programs of the Flanders Festival (www.festival.be).
He left this festival two years later to create together with Judith Vindevogel Walpurgis, (a production house for contemporary chamber opera and music theatre, www.walpurgis.be), and thereby came closer to his first interests as a young boy: opera, theatre and music.
It is in that period that he met many of the musicians together with whom he would later create the now famous contemporary music ensemble Ictus (www.ictus.be). When Ictus was founded in 1994, Lukas Pairon was there and became its first general director, which he has been until the end of 2012.
In 2005 he founded the organization Music Fund (www.musicfund.eu) which gives support to music schools in the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean (and soon also Asia) through donations of music instruments and training programs for technicians able to repair such instruments.
From 2009 until 2012, he founded and was in charge of 3rdParty (www.facebook.com/3dePartij3rdParty), a 3-year educational program creating bridges between youngsters in Belgium and peace- and human rights activists in the Middle East.
Since 2012, Lukas Pairon was appointed as 'senior research fellow' at the School of Arts in Ghent (B) and started a PhD research at the University of Ghent (UGent, Doctoral program Political and Social Sciences) on questions related to the possible significance of certain musical practices in social projects proposed to young people living in violent surroundings.
Lukas Pairon is initiator and now founding director of SIMM, an international research platform focused on the Social Impact of Making Music (www.simm-platform.eu).
In 2018 the King of Belgium awarded Lukas Pairon with the title of Commander in the Order of the Crown for his work as 'cultural activist'.


The laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is the second common malignant tumor of the respiratory tract and together with recurrent respiratory papillomas represents the most common tumors of the larynx. Many experimental models are used to study the morphology of malignant tumors. The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model is one of them. The CAM has all the nutrition needed for the piece of the transplanted tumor to survive. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the laryngeal papilloma and the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues transplanted on the chick CAM survive with their main histological features, and to determine the morphological changes of the CAM with different transplants. For the preparation of the CAM, fertilized hen eggs were put into an incubator for 3 days. Then the windows in the shell were opened. The fresh samples of tumors were transplanted on the CAM on the 7th day of incubation. After 3 days after transplantation the CAM with onplants were excised and fixed in the 10% formalin solution. Morphological changes in the control CAM and in the CAM with tumor onplants were observed using the digital camera on the OLYMPUS microscope. The results showed that the CAM with the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma onplant was distinctly thicker than that of the control group and than the CAM with the papilloma onplant; the chorionic epithelium was thickened and appeared stratified of up to 5–6 layers and in some locations squamous keratinized; the mesenchymal cells were densely arranged under the tumor transplants. We observed that morphological changes in the thickness of the CAM and the chorionic epithelium were more obvious in the CAM under the carcinoma transplants. After 72 hours of the tumor tissue transfer onto the membrane, the tumor cells retained their vitality and also their influence on the CAM tissues could be observed.

Architecturally Significant Waterfront Home Offered at $8.49M
Lena Yaremenko for Sotheby's International Realty
There is a rare opportunity to create a waterfront compound in East Hampton's Northwest Woods, where two parcels are available for $8.49 million.
The properties at 39 and 41 Milina Drive consist of a 1.1 acres of vacant land and an adjacent, but separate .65-acre lot with what is said to be an architecturally significant home, making for a total 1.75 acres and 294 feet of frontage on Gardiner's Bay.
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out toward the water. "The east-western exposure provide evening sunsets and morning sunrises that will continually amaze," according to Sotheby's International Realty. Zacheriah Dayton and Keri A. Dayton of the Dayton Team and Kathy Konzet have the listing.
The home, built in the 1970s, was designed by Richard Henderson, who worked alongside Charles Gwathmey, the noted modernist architect, at what was then the firm Gwathmey, Henderson & Siegel. Henderson, a long-time faculty member and administrator at The Cooper Union, died in 2009.
Measuring 2,000 square feet, the home has four bedrooms, two baths, and a fireplace. Steps lead from the circular stone patio to a private staircase for down to a white sandy beach with approximately 80 feet in depth.
There is plenty of room for expansion and a swimming pool.
Located in a quiet area of Northwest Woods, the properties are close to Sammy's Beach and its nature preserve at the mouth of Three Mile Harbor, as well as Cedar Point County Park, but only a short drive to East Hampton and Sag Harbor Villages.

Global Cargo News
IATA: Recovery continues in June but at a slow pace
July 29, 2020 July 29, 2020 Newsdesk
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for global air freight markets in June showing improvement, but at a slower pace than some of the traditional leading indicators would suggest.
Global demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTKs*), fell by 17.6% in June (-19.9% for international operations) compared to the previous year. That is a modest improvement from the 20.1% year-on-year drop recorded in May.
Global capacity, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTKs), shrank by 34.1% in June ( 33.9% for international operations) compared to the previous year. This was on par with the 34.8% year-on-year drop in May.
Belly capacity for international air cargo shrank by 70% in June compared to the previous year due to the withdrawal of passenger services amid COVID-19. This was partially offset by a 32% increase in capacity through expanded use of freighter aircraft.
Global manufacturing demand stabilized in June:
– The new export orders component of the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) rose by 11 points compared to May, the strongest monthly increase since the series began in 1999.
– The PMI tracking global manufacturing output rebounded in June to its highest level since January.
"Cargo is, by far, healthier than the passenger markets but doing business remains exceptionally challenging. While economic activity is re-starting after major lockdown disruptions there has not been a major boost in demand. The rush to get personal protective equipment (PPE) to market has subsided as supply chains regularized, enabling shippers to use cheaper sea and rail options. And the capacity crunch continues because passenger operations are recovering very slowly," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's Director General and CEO.
June Regional Performance
All regions recorded declines in June. Airlines in Europe and Latin America suffered the sharpest drops in year-on-year growth in total air freight volumes, while airlines in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East experienced slightly less dramatic declines. Airlines in North America and Africa saw more moderate drops compared to the other regions.
Asia-Pacific airlines saw demand for international air cargo fall by 20% in June 2020 compared to the same period a year earlier. This was a slight deterioration over the 18.8% drop in May. Despite manufacturing starting to pick up in the region, demand was impacted by the reduction in shipments of PPE by air. International capacity decreased 32.3%.
North American carriers reported a single digit fall in international cargo demand of 8.8% year-on-year in June. This was the smallest contraction of all regions. The resilient performance is due to the large freighter fleets of a few of the region's airlines as well as the fiscal support to airlines in the USA from the CARES Act. International capacity decreased 30.7%.
European carriers reported a 27.6% annual drop in international cargo volumes in June. This was a slight improvement from May's performance of -29.5% but still the second weakest performance of all regions. International capacity decreased 40.7%
Middle Eastern carriers reported a decline of 19.1% year-on-year in June, an improvement from the 24.9% fall in May. International capacity decreased 25.8%, the best of all regions. This was driven by the aggressive operational strategies of some of the region's carriers.
Latin American carriers posted a 29.4% drop in year-on-year international demand in June. This was the weakest performance of all regions. International capacity decreased 43.6% indicating a sizeable capacity crunch. The COVID-19 crisis is particularly challenging at present for airlines based in Latin America owing to strict lockdown measures.
African airlines posted a contraction of 13.8% in June. This was a weaker performance than the 7.3% fall in demand in May. The small Africa-Asia market continued to grow in June up 20.1%. However, the region suffered from the effects of the pandemic becoming more severe in June. International capacity in this region decreased 46.2%.

A novel entity of isolated adrenal insufficiency caused by partial inactivation of P450 side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1) enzyme
Silvia Parajes1, Clemens Kamrath2, Ian Rose1, Angela Taylor1, Christiaan Mooij1, Vivek Dhir1, Joachim Grotzinger3, Wiebke Arlt1 & Nils Krone1
1University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK; 2University Children's Hospital Giessen, Giessen, Germany; 3University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany.
Cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1) catalyses the first and rate-limiting step of steroidogenesis, facilitating conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Cholesterol, transported by steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) into the inner mitochondrial membrane, is converted by CYP11A1 into 22R-hydroxycholesterol. Subsequently, CYP11A1 converts 22R-hydroxycholesterol by 20alpha-hydroxylation and cleavage of the C20–C22 bond into pregnenolone. All patients with CYP11A1 deficiency described so far presented with combined adrenal insufficiency (AI) and 46,XY disorder of sex development (DSD).
Herein, we describe two siblings (46,XY) presenting with late-onset isolated AI with normal male genital development. The older sibling had first symptoms suggestive of AI at the age of 2 years with the diagnosis finally established at the age of 4.1 years. His younger brother was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency at the age of 2.5 years. A maternal uncle died at the age of 9 years during an episode of febrile seizures.
Mutation analysis of the DAX1 and StAR genes was performed but did not reveal disease-causing mutations. Finally, we detected a novel homozygous CYP11A1 mutation (c.1351C>T; p.Arg451Trp) in both siblings. Segregation analysis confirmed that both parents were heterozygous carriers.
Functional in vitro analysis was performed in COS7 cells co-transfected with wild-type or mutant CYP11A1, with or without wild-type StAR and adrenodoxin. Transfected cells were incubated with either cholesterol or 22R-hydroxycholesterol and pregnenolone production was measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). This demonstrated partial inactivation of CYP11A1 activity by the p.Ar451Trp mutation consistent with results of in silico analysis.
For the first time, mutant CYP11A1 enzyme activity has been assessed in vitro employing the natural substrate cholesterol and the intermediate product 22R-hydroxycholesterol using LC–MS/MS. Importantly, we present a novel entity of isolated AI caused by a partially inactivating CYP11A1 mutation, which should be considered as differential diagnosis in patients with unexplained isolated adrenal insufficiency.

Q: jQuery element.data() syntax. How do I know what `$(this)` is? I have the following jQuery variable:
var confirmbox=$('

')
        .data({'defaultText': 'This action cannot be reversed. Are you sure you wish to do this?',
               'defaultButtons': {  Yes : function() { $(this).dialog('close');},
                                    No  : function() { $(this).dialog('close');}
               }
        });

I want to set confirmbox.html() to confirmbox.data('defaultText').
confirmbox.html(confirmbox.data('defaultText'));//this works
confirmbox.html($(this).data('defaultText'));//this fails. Why?

And the same failing syntax now works here:
confirmbox.dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            modal: true,
            buttons: $(this).data('defaultButtons'),
            close: function(){
                $(this).html($(this).data('defaultText')); //working here. Why?
                $(this).dialog('option','buttons',$(this).data('defaultButtons'));
            }
        });

I think that I don't understand what $(this) is referring to in particular contexts.  How do I tell?

A: Like you said, it's all about the context.
When the dialog.close() function is executed, the this object points to the dialog instance, as a result $(this) refers to the jQuery dialog object. If you're executing
confirmbox.html($(this).data('defaultText'));//this fails. Why?

in a global context, this doesnt have that meaning. it refers to the document.window object, not your dialog instance.

A: this is a reference to the current context object. In your example that fails, this is probably referring to the window object (or whatever the next immediate enclosing context is, if not window). If window had its own attached defaultText data, for example, you'd be passing that into .html().
But since .html() is designed to also take a function as an argument, within that function, this will refer to the confirmbox context. Try it like this:
confirmbox.html( function(){
  // this now refers to confirmbox
  return $(this).data('defaultText');
});

A: In confirmbox.dialog, this refers to the the confirmbox object.  That's why $(this) worked.
In the line confirmbox.html($(this).data('defaultText'));, this has no context, and is just set to window.
I'm not very good at explaining things, but I hope this helped.

Boris bought some water cannon. Shame they've been sold off.
Tactical contact is always a risk but the training that we get it is a calculated risk when faced when to implement it and when not to,in this particular case ie motorbike/moped thefts then you have to fight fire with fire,as they are attacking innocent people and property armed to the teeth in some cases with weapons.
They will remove their helmets when they realise that they can not outrun you in a hope that you will call the pursuit off allowing them to evade capture this is why they have had to come up with some sort of tactic which sends out the message no matter what you do you will be brought to justice,we need to go one step further and say that if they are requested to stop by Police and they refuse engaging in dangerous behaviour which results in serious injury or death then they will be held accountable 100% with no shifting blame onto Police . It's a very dangerous game to play but the Police need to be able to control the streets and not let the criminal have the control like they are used to having.

About Caffarel
Caffarel, a 200-year old company located in Turin, Italy, enjoys the undisputed reputation of creating Italy's finest chocolate, and has become world-renowned as the very first company to create the indulgence gourmands call Gianduia. Way back in 1856, Gianduia was born out of necessity, since cocoa was rationed during the turbulent years that followed the Napoleonic wars. Craftsman from the Piedmont region where the world's best variety of hazelnuts are grown circumvented the problem by blending precious, exotic cocoa with hazelnuts.
Gianduia, an intense mélange of milk chocolate and hazelnuts, is now a classic form of European chocolate, made by only the finest chocolate producers. By using 28% - 30% Piedmont Hazelnuts, Caffarel achieves a unique melting temperature and a velvety texture to complement the gianduia flavor. Produced by extrusion (dropped onto plates), without the limitations imposed by moulds, Caffarel's Gianduia has a special consistency that is not too soft and not too hard, and a rich flavor that simply cannot be duplicated.
The exclusive recipes created by the artisans at Caffarel's factory are, to this day, one of the secrets that sets Caffarel apart. Its continued appeal is based on the important emphasis they place on combining the handpicked, select ingredients from all over the world and hand-made craftsmanship with the latest technologies. Today, Gianduia has become quite useful in the kitchen. It is used to flavor a host of desserts, confections, pastries, and even ice cream.

Q: Scrolling on Panel instead DataGridView I would like to insert my datagridview into a panel with scrollbars. What I have done is setting AutoScroll on the panel to true, make the datagridview fill the panel and disable the scrollbars on it but the scrollbars are not showing on the panel when datagridview have many elements. Any ideas?

A: Don't make the DataGridView Dock.Fill the Panel, make it as large as you need to display all Rowsand all Columns!
You need to determine the full Size needed to display all Columns and all Rows without Scrollbars:
int width = 0;
int height = 0;
foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1.Columns) width += col.Width;
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows) height += row.Height;
dataGridView1.Size = new Size(width,height);

Q: Segfault 11 when trying to multiply 2 matrices I'm trying to multiply 2 dynamically allocated arrays. I'm having 2 problems:

*

*When I try unequal sized arrays like [2],[3] and [3],[2] I got a segmentation fault 11, and after staring at my allocations I still can't figure out why.

*My final array is formatted with the correct rows and columns, but it displays all 0's.
I'm assuming that this is because I didn't allocate the memory correctly.

            printf("%d\t", c[i][j]);
        }

    printf("\n");

    return 0;
}

A: You allocate the wrong amount of memory for the third matrix:
c = malloc(m1_r * sizeof(int *));
for(i=0; i < m2_r; i++)

The loop count should be the same as the number of pointers you malloc.
To avoid this sort of error, consider making a function which you pass in the dimensions and it returns the pointer.
Later on, you overwrite its bounds using different indices again:
for(i=0;i<m2_r;i++)
  for(j=0;j<m2_c;j++)
     {
         c[i][j]=0;
     }

Then you overwrite the bounds of b (it was m2_r and m2_c):
for (i=0; i<m1_r; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j<m1_c; j++) {
        scanf("%d", &b[i][j]);
    }
}

To avoid this sort of error, you could use a better naming convention for your variables; and also consider using a struct which holds each pointer plus its dimension variables. Then you can have a function that zeroes any matrix and you only need to pass it a pointer to one of your matrix structs.
BTW if you use calloc instead of malloc then you don't need this loop at all (although you might want to have this function anyway so that you can zero a matrix).
Also you should check for success of scanf and malloc.

A: There are hell lot of bugs in your code:
First
//memory for 3rd matrix
c = malloc(m1_r * sizeof(int *));
for(i=0; i < m2_r; i++)  <----- error: used m2_r instead of m1_r

You assigned m1_r and loop till m2_r.
Second
//input 2nd matrix
printf("Enter the second of the first matrix.\n");

for (i=0; i<m1_r; i++) {    <----- error: used m1_r instead of m2_r
    for (j = 0; j<m1_c; j++) {   <----- error: used m1_c instead of m2_c
        scanf("%d", &b[i][j]);
    }
}

You are using rows and columns of 1st matrix.
Third
//initialize result matrix to 0
    for(i=0; i<m2_r; i++)     <----- error: used m2_r instead of m1_r
        for(j=0; j<m2_c; j++) {
            c[i][j]=0;
        }

You used row value of second matrix rather than the first matrix

Boston College Daily Links: Turnovers Fuel BC Win over Virginia Tech
Daily Links for a new week: Monday, November 4, 2013

Darren McCollester
Good morning! It's a great day to be a Boston College Eagle - and a great weekend overall for BC's sports teams. To the links:
Late Interception Return Propels BC - Sports - The Boston Globe
Stealing a glance at his teammates on Boston College's sideline, senior linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis said he was encouraged by what he saw as the Eagles trailed Virginia Tech, 17-10, in the third quarter of Saturday's gritty Atlantic Coast Conference game.
Take it away, Eagles | Boston Herald
Boston College defensive playmakers trumped Virginia Tech's unyielding defense. The Eagles converted four Virginia Tech turnovers into 17 points and held on to capture a 34-27 upset victory over the Hokies before 30,129 yesterday at Alumni Stadium.
The Misery Index Week 10: Bummed out in Blacksburg
1. Virginia Tech: Not to pile on Logan Thomas, but the Hokies' senior quarterback just continues to make mistakes that experienced players shouldn't make. Thomas is big, tough and athletic, but he was intercepted twice and fumbled twice Saturday in a 34-27 loss at Boston College.
Well, whenever you can beat someone and make them #1 on the national misery index, I guess that's worth something. Right?
What we learned in the ACC in Week 10: Miami Hurricanes' run ends (ESPN ACC Blog)
Virginia Tech isn't getting better -- but BC is. For the second straight week, Virginia Tech turned it over four times in a loss, this time to Boston College. Following the season-opening loss to Alabama, Virginia Tech reeled off six straight wins and appeared to have turned the page on last year's subpar season, but back-to-back losses against Duke and Boston College -- two programs that combined for eight wins last year -- have been a not-so-subtle reminder that the problems persist. BC deserves credit for its 34-27 win, but Logan Thomas was picked off twice and fumbled twice, leading to 17 points for BC. The Eagles, though, are clearly a different team under Steve Addazio. It finally was reflected in the win column.
#6 Women's Ice Hockey defeats Providence in OT, 2-1 - BCEagles.com
The women's hockey team bounced back from last week's head-scratcher at Syracuse with a sweep of the Providence College Friars, but it wasn't easy - Sunday's game required an OT winner by Melissa Bizarri to finish the job. GIFFED!:
Gilmour's OT goal lifts Boston College over Northeastern :: USCHO.com
A see-saw third period followed by a quick strike in overtime catapulted Boston College to a sweep of Northeastern to open Hockey East play, with freshman Adam Gilmour drilling the game-winner for the Eagles 1:36 into the extra period at Matthews Arena on Saturday.
ACC LOSS Boston College women's soccer falls to North Carolina
Chapel Hill, N.C. -- It was a typical game between Boston College and North Carolina on Sunday afternoon in the first round of the ACC Tournament. The sixth-seeded Eagles (10-9-1) lost to third-seeded North Carolina, 1-0, in front 816 fans at Fetzer Field. North Carolina (17-3) will play Florida State on Friday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. in the ACC semifinal.
Now the Eagles await their fate from the NCAA tournament selection committee. With a 10-9-1 record and an RPI of 33 going into the ACC tournament they seem like they should probably get an NCAA bid, but it's no lock.
Boston College Men's Soccer Defeats Virginia Tech, 3-1
Sophomore Derrick Boateng scored a pair of goals to lead the Boston College men's soccer team to a 3-1 win against Virginia Tech on Sunday afternoon at the Newton Campus Field.
Meanwhile, a gigantic win for the men, who moved from 9th into a tie for 6th in the ACC with the victory. They bring a 4-5-1 ACC record and 7-7-2 overall record to Virginia on Friday for their final regular season game. With an RPI of 74 going into this weekend, the men's team's situation is a bit more questionable. It looks like they'll need to win on Friday and do a little damage in the ACC tournament to ensure their ticket to the Big Dance.

Is it time to kill off wikitext?
Anyone who has ever tried to edit Wikipedia will have encountered wikitext, the rather esoteric syntax used for markup on its pages.
Wikitext is, in theory at least, simpler than HTML. Two single quotes delimit ''italics'', while three single quotes indicate '''bold text'''. [Square brackets] indicate external links, [[double square brackets]] indicate internal links, and so on. A lot of other wiki software uses similar syntax. For example, Trac, a popular open source bug tracking system, uses a very similar markup language, and since you can also embed HTML in it, and even use a fairly sophisticated macro language, it allows very fine-grained control of the contents of the page. For the novice, there is a helpful toolbar at the top of the edit box, so that you can easily mark up various parts of the text as bold, italics, hyperlinks, and so on.
However, in late 2007, it somehow feels wrong. As wrong as it felt not being able to get broadband in late 2005.
There are many rich Internet applications these days that raise the bar significantly in terms of quality of user experience. Slick, good looking, easy to use sites are becoming more and more commonplace, and while ones such as Google Maps or EyeOS still have a bit of a "wow" factor, it's getting easier all the time to develop them. With libraries like jQuery, for instance, you can implement a Google Suggest-style Ajax search facility in a couple of hours.
With it becoming increasingly easy to create elegant rich Internet applications, and the tools to do so being readily available, free and open source, having such an awkward and clunky way of editing content is beginning to look very last millennium. It's time it went the way of the dinosaurs.
Posted at 12:30 on 26 November 2007.
The current makeup, including the template system, is a killer feature of MediaWiki. It's simple, streamlined, yet infinitely extensible. You're just not going to achieve this level of flexibility with a WYSIWYG editor.
Besides, WYSIWYG is not suitable for Wikipedia's mission, which has content over presentation. It has its uses – for example, for publishing systems. But not for a knowledge base, nor for any kind of documentation, which needs semantic markup.
So would you say that the benefits of wikitext and WYSIWYG editing are mutually exclusive, or do you think that rich text editors in the browser are not mature enough as a technology to handle that kind of thing yet?


The layout of modern workplaces usually sees people sat at desks for the majority of the day. Hectic, busy schedules, coupled with slouched sitting positions detrimental to correct posture, means a build-up of tension. This stress is carried around with us in our muscles. The dangers of stress for accelerating the aging process are well documented, with a 2012 study published in the Journal PLoS ONE specifically focusing on work-related exhaustion.
An excellent way to combat the effects of stress and tension in the body is to have a routine of stretching. When you stretch, you lengthen the muscles and tendons, increasing flexibility. Maintaining your body's range of movement as you get older is crucial for youth preservation and for people looking to extend their healthy lifespan.
Fitness experts, physical therapists and yoga instructors all agree that stretching before going to bed at night can calm the body, allowing us to let go of daily stress and tension. "It allows you to release some of the tension you've built up during the day so you can prepare both your body and mind for a good night's sleep," says New York yoga instructor Sarah Levey. Similarly, Alice-Beckett-Wilson, physical therapist and wellness expert says, "Stretching before going to bed is helpful in getting a good night's sleep, and all stretches should be done with a focus on breathing." If you make pre-sleep stretching part of your bedtime routine, it encourages your body to relax and will greatly benefit the quality of your sleep, resulting in more energy the next day.
If you're worried about the hassle of setting up space for your pre-sleep stretches or not having the right yoga gear, here are five simple, stress-reducing stretches you can do in your pajamas and the comfort of your bed (and a bonus one for the shower). You can do all of them, or pick your favorites.
Let's start with a stretch that seems like it was made to do in bed and will target your lower back – a typically tense spot for a lot of people, contributing to shoulder and neck pains.
Lie on your back in the middle of the bed and bend both knees into your chest. Cross your knees over to the left side of your body and extend your arms into a 'T' position. Turn your head to the right and hold the pose for 30 seconds or more. You should feel your spine twist and lengthen, and may even hear some cracks! Finally, use your abs to lift your knees back to the center and repeat the pose on the other side.
Tight hamstrings are a common problem and can contribute to back pain. It's important to note that tight hamstrings can be caused by a variety of issues and if you have persistent pain, you should seek advice from a medical professional.
If you're looking to take the tension out of your tender hamstrings, here's a relaxing way to stretch one hamstring at a time and increase overall flexibility.
Lie on your back and raise your left leg as high as you can while keeping your pelvis flat on the ground. Hold your lower thigh and gently move your leg towards your head, while flexing the bottom of your foot to stretch your calf muscles. Hold this pose for 30 seconds and then switch sides.
After a long, grueling day at the office, the Happy Baby stretch can be a lifesaver, helping to get rid of tension and stress in the hips, groin and spine. "Happy baby lengthens and realigns the spine, stretches the inner groin, and can help release your hips," says Levey.
Lie on your back in bed, lift your legs and bend your knees. With your feet flexed towards the ceiling, grab the big toe of each foot with the corresponding hand. Gently bend your knees further towards your armpits. If you can, gently massage the spine by rocking left to right. Hold the pose for 15 seconds.
If you're looking to increase flexibility in your spine, as well as gently lengthen the muscles in your abs, chest and neck, the Cobra Pose is a simple and effective bedtime stretch to master.
Lie on your stomach and extend your arms out in front of you. Keep your legs and pelvis grounded and slowly walk your hands towards your chest, arching your back until you feel a nice stretch in your abs. Concentrate on lengthening your neck by relaxing your shoulders away from your ears. If possible, lower your head back between your shoulder blades to stretch your neck and chest, but be careful not to over-stretch your neck. Hold the pose for 30 seconds before carefully lowering your torso back to the bed.
The perfect way to end the day and your pre-sleep stretching routine, The Corpse Pose allows you to let go of everything you're holding onto from the day's events. "By focusing the mind on stillness and bringing awareness to the breath, the body begins to naturally relax, preparing you for a great night's rest," says Levey.
As the name suggests, this pose is reminiscent of a dead body!
Lie in bed with your legs slightly apart and stretched out in front of you. Place your arms down by your sides with palms up. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Hold this pose for 15 seconds, or until you drift off into a deep, relaxing sleep.
Everybody's pre-sleep routine is different. If you prefer to shower before going to bed, take advantage of the hot water for soothing your muscles and preparing your body for sleep.
The Heart Opener stretch is just the thing to open tight shoulders and your upper back.
Stand with your feet together and carefully open your arms out to the sides behind you, placing your palms on the wall and the door of your shower. Press your palms down gently and lean forward slightly to deepen the stretch. Hold it for 30 seconds.
Obviously, while the cascading warm water will help to relax your muscles, if you're stretching in the shower you need to take care not to slip and injure yourself. And no need to keep your pyjamas on in the shower either!
I like what you guys are usually up too. This kind of clever work and coverage! Keep up the wonderful works guys I've included you guys to our blogroll.
First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I've had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thanks!
Try some of these stretches recommended in my article as well as incorporating 15 minutes of meditation in the morning. Happy writing!
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

The property market in Monaco has been more lively recently after a really sluggish interval overall since the Economic problems of late 2007/2008. The issues with the global economy infiltrated to the Monaco property market leading to several years of low interest by potential buyers due to the global uncertainties all of us dealt with. Monaco property holders overall pulled back from selling their homes as circumstances were not the best and as many Monaco property owners are not speculators, rather longer term financiers keen to protect their money, they didn't need to offer to cover financial loans as most Monaco buildings are completely paid for at the time of purchase.
An additional aspect producing more activity, in addition to the global economic conditions and therefore confidence to invest once again in Monaco property, is that new residents to Monaco are finding it increasingly hard to find appropriate rental apartments as there is certainly more demand than supply, combined with really high leases due to the present shortage of rental buildings.
New citizens are frequently thinking about buying their property in Monaco, and as selected banks in Monaco are willing to lend customers to buy Monaco property, with Euro interest rates at all-time lows, it is a financially feasible alternative for those with adequate security to place with the financing bank. Loans are generally made at 60-- 70 percent loan to value, sometimes more if the customer has adequate assets to lodge with the bank through cash or a portfolio of valuable securities (international bonds/ equities/investment funds.) If in cash, the security placed with the bank may be very carefully invested to produce an annual profit which matches or goes beyond the interest rate charged on the loan, so this could be an additional benefit. Loans on Monaco property are typically designed for a period of 5 years, renewable for a maximum of three times (15 years).
The costs of buildings to buy in Monaco varies greatly, with the lower rates per square metre starting at approximately EUR 25,000 to the highest which can surpass EUR 90,000 per square metre.

Monaco Home - To Purchase or Rent?
With property options including deluxe beachside residences, penthouses close to Casino Square and compact studio apartments in Jardin Exotique, deciding on the best home when moving in Monaco can be difficult. To help you find the house or studio that best meets your needs, lets looks at the buying essentials, and also explore the various kinds of residence in Monaco.
Even though background checks are important for anyone focused on investing in a home there, Monaco doesn't put any limitations on foreign buyers. Many purchasers prefer to pay in cash, but it's possible to take out a loan that covers up to 70 % of the purchase price. Monaco does not collect home taxes on residential real estate. Some of the house for sale in Monaco is quite expensive and bargains tend to be few and far between, though prices have dropped slightly in recent years due to the global economic downturn.
In Monaco, rent is required to be paid in advance on a quarterly basis. When first renting an apartment, an additional three months rent should be paid in advance, as well as a refundable security deposit. In most instances, leases are renewable on an annual basis.
Depending on the location and size of the residence, as well as what type of building it is, prices can vary drastically. In the last two to three years, purchase prices and monthly rental fees have declined on average by 25 to 35 percent. In Monaco, prices are quoted by square metre. The cost per square metre ranges from the current average of 25,000 up to 50,000 and above.
The majority of the properties available in Monaco are apartments, though they vary drastically. They include small studios ideal for one or two people to huge luxury triplexes and penthouses with four or more bedrooms that can easily accommodate large families. Almost all apartments include excellent amenities, such as pools, gyms, saunas, and 24 hour security - as well as stunning views. In addition, most apartments currently available, both for sale and rent, have been recently updated with fully equipped kitchens and open floor plans. The majority of the complexes offer parking facilities adjacent to, or underneath, the apartment buildings. They can either be purchased privately or rented on a monthly basis.
There are a limited number of private houses for sale or rent in Monaco. Those that are presently available tend to be rather expensive, though they are the epitome of luxury with beautiful kitchens, hardwood floors, walk-in wardrobes, and exceptional panoramic views of the city and the sea. Many apartments and homes have terraces on which you can enjoy an evening with friends.
Although Monaco is less than 2 square kilometres in size there are a number of properties for sale and rent available. In fact, the most difficult part of your search will likely be deciding which one you should make your new home.
Monaco does not collect home taxes on residential real-estate. Some of the house obtainable in Monaco is very pricey and deals tend to be few and far between, though rates have decreased slightly recently because of the global downturn in the economy.

Welcome to Select Home Stagers™ the nation's premier resource for finding a professional, quality, home stager or property redesigner in your local area.
Finding a home stager to help you prepare your home for sale can be challenging. Since your home is your most valuable asset you want to make sure that you are selecting a professional that is experienced, insured and has knowledge of what can best help you to market your home.
Unlike other design and real estate professions, there are no national standards for home stagers- all one has to do is take a workshop or decide to open a home staging business. The graduates of these classes often have little to no staging experience. Our home staging professionals have been selected because they represent the best level of staging service and have been thoroughly screened to meet our professional guidelines.
Select Home Stagers™ is different. We are not a nationwide directory of stagers or a listing of stagers that have taken a local class or joined an association. Select Home Stagers was formed to enable consumers to find a top tier home stager that has met stringent requirements and has been juried by peers in their professional field.
Select Home Stagers™ was founded by Kate Hart, the recipient of the Staging Professional of the Year Award from The Real Estate Staging Association. Kate is the owner of Hart & Associates Staging and Design and Ask the Staging Coach.com. She has personallymentored, coached and trained thousands of Stagers and Real Estate Professionals on the art of staging.
