Melbourne studio B.E. Architecture has renovated and extended a Victorian property in the city for an avid art collector, adding a varied palette of materials that help distinguish the old and new parts of the building.
The design project for the St Vincents Place Residence began with a heritage building in Melbourne's inner suburb of Albert Park. The owner wanted to retain the house's historic character while creating a suitably contemporary home for his family and his art collection.
"The client, as a patron, put his belief in architecture, artists and artisans to create a nourishing environment that goes beyond surface treatments by inscribing contemplative experiences into the physical form," said the studio.
The house and its two neighbours were originally part of a convent that had been remodelled and repurposed over time, so the only thing remaining was the front facade's 200-millimetre-thick masonry wall.
B.E. Architecture developed a proposal for a 750-square-metre home to replace a cluster of sheds and outbuildings occupying the land behind the facade.
The rebuilding process enabled four levels to be created, including a rooftop terrace and a basement that would not have been possible to implement underneath an original structure.
The studio sought to achieve a sense of timelessness in the design, by incorporating classical details alongside carefully chosen contemporary materials to give the building an ageless quality.
"We shy away from trends or faddish materiality and are wary of architectural thumbprints, where the building is more about the architect than the space and the client themselves," B.E. Architecture's design director Broderick Ely told Dezeen.
"St Vincent Place was a great site to develop in this sense as it was a period building shell that needed to be built up from scratch, so there were design opportunities not appropriate in a modern home."
The rooms to the front of the house incorporate features such as cornices, arched doors, and custom steel fireplaces that are intended to provide a strong connection to the Victorian frontage.
An entrance foyer adjoins a formal living room and leads into a circulation space containing a grand staircase, which sweeps upwards towards a large first-floor landing.
Due to the property being part of a Victorian terrace, it is enclosed on either side by its neighbours, so the stairwell was designed as a way to bring natural light into the centre of the building.
A wine room and study are also accommodated in the front section of the building, which is connected by a corridor to further spaces with a more contemporary feel toward the rear.
The corridor leads into an open kitchen and dining area flanked by a terrace. The terrace is enclosed by facades of in-situ concrete that emphasise the modern construction methods used for this part of the house.
Daylight and views of landscaping including a 38-year-old grape vine are provided by glazed walls that look onto the terrace, as well as a three-storey lightwell connecting all of the house's levels.
At the top of the building there is a roof terrace and barbecue area planted with olive trees. The upper floor contains the bedrooms, and the stairs continue down past the main living spaces on the ground floor to a basement accommodating a spa and utility areas.
The spa level includes a pool, steam room, a Japanese-style onsen, or spring, and a gym. The majority of surfaces on this level are lined in bluestone to add a natural texture to the spaces.
In addition to the concrete and bluestone, the modern material palette used for the rear extension also includes terrazzo-style stone floors and painted-timber ceilings.
"Rejecting stark minimalism, the classical details are exchanged for rich textures continuing the hand-hewn character throughout the house," said the studio.
Artworks are carefully distributed throughout the building, and in some places are even incorporated into the architecture. A text-based piece by Nathan Coley is fixed to the wall of the light well, while a niche carved into a wall alongside this space contains a wax sculpture by artist Berlinde De Bruyckere.
Vintage furnishings sourced from Europe and Asia contribute to the home's eclectic and exotic atmosphere. These pieces combine with custom-made furniture designed by the architects, including a cluster of transparent coffee tables containing books in the living room.
B.E. Architecture specialises in high-end residential projects, such as a house combining various textures of granite in Melbourne, and another property comprising a series of brick buildings arranged around internal courtyards in the town of Windsor.

Whether you are looking for a comfortable stall mat for your thoroughbred or a mat for high impact workouts, at RubberFlooringInc we have the perfect mat for you. Made with high-quality rubber, our horse stall mats are designed to provide a warm, comfortable floor for horses. Animal mats are very durable and shock absorbent; which makes these horse mats very desirable for high impact workouts. Rubber stall mats are great for horse stables, garage gyms, home gyms and much more.
For years, horse stall mats were used as flooring in barns and stables. These mats were popular with the equine community because they gave their horses a comfortable, warm area to lay. But over time, there has been a shift in where these mats are primarily used. As humans, we have become more and more obsessed with our bodies, and these mats have found their way into our homes and gyms. With so much focus on high impact workouts, these mats have become the go-to floor for gym rats around the world.
Horse stall mats are still used by the equine community to provide a comfortable place for their horses to walk and lay. These mats are sold in various sizes and are non-porous. Most of the rubber stall mats we sell are actually several rubber tiles that fit together to create a solid rubber floor mat, making it easier for the consumer to install and replace when a part of the mat gets damaged. These tiles interlock very tightly so that liquids will not penetrate through to the subfloor, which is typically not an issue since most stables and barns are outside. But hey, you never know, if your name was Caligula and you saw your horse as your best friend, you might have them in your house. Maintenance of our rubber mats is very simple, needing only a hose and a shovel to get rid of all that crap.
Horse stall mats used for gyms are typically 4' x 6' mats of either ½" or ¾" thickness. These mats have become very popular over the years because they are inexpensive and readily available. All anyone has to do is go down to their local pet supply store and they will have many on hand. So the real question here is "why would I want a horse stall gym mat?" Let's weigh out the pros and cons.
Horse stall gym mats provide a high level of shock absorbency, which is great for exercise programs like P90X, Plyometrics, T25 and the like.
They are cheaper than buying rubber tiles or rolls.
Horse stall gym mats are made for outdoor use and will have a pungent smell. Very similar to rotten eggs. And ain't nobody got time for that in their home. So it is best that these mats be used in well ventilated spaces.
Most stall mats feature an unfinished bottom. This helps to keep the mat in place, but if you are installing a whole floor this can be a nightmare. Since the bottom is unfinished, each mat can end up being a different height, which can create tripping hazards throughout your floor. To help alleviate that, we suggest shaving the bottom with a cheese grater or laying the mats in a brick pattern to reduce this effect.
Rubber stall mats are heavy and can be cumbersome to move and store.
Outside of your standard horse stall mats, we also offer a range of tile options that gain their inspiration from our range of mats. Our Rubber Gym Tile series of mats feature the same non-porous surface found in our Horse Stall Mat kits. These tiles are geared towards home or commercial gym applications, but can be used as flooring in horse stables as well. These rubber tiles are interlocking tiles and are very easy to install. They do interlock very tightly as well and can be made into custom mat sizes with beveled edges.
Our Mega and Extreme series of rubber tiles were inspired by our horse stall gym mats. They are actually made from those rubber mats. That means these tiles are either a ½" or ¾" thick and feature an unfinished bottom. These are interlocking tiles and install just like a jigsaw puzzle. They are porous like our rubber mats, and thus are not best suited for horse stables and barns.

QUEST (QUantitative palaeoEnvironments from SpeleoThems) will develop new techniques for extracting quantitative information from speleothems and link field and laboratory experiments on water/mineral chemistry with innovative physical and numerical analyses on speleothems. The combination of these techniques, based on physical and chemical properties and statistical methods, will allow us to deliver quantitative reconstructions of two key parameters: hydrology and temperature. We will test our methods using speleothems from Australasia, a region vulnerable to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability. At present, there is a relative dearth of millennial-scale palaeoclimate data from this region.
Our team members come from a variety of backgrounds including environmental chemistry, environmental mineral magnetism, and numerical data analysis. Each group within the team has already begun developing innovative methods for palaeoclimate reconstruction within their own subfield, but this project will be the first time these methods are combined and applied collectively to speleothems. Our combination of interdisciplinary expertise, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and novel techniques means that we are ideally placed to develop quantitative climate records from speleothems.
QUEST has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 691037.

Video: Life of a Slice Man at Sal and Carmine
James Boo
Published: November 7, 2013 Last Updated: August 12, 2019
Editor's Note: Welcome to a new episode of 1 Minute Meal, a series of video snapshots documenting the places, people, and foods that make New York a vibrant food community.
[Photograph: James Boo]
When our man Ed publicly mourned the loss of Sal Malanga in 2009, he noted that the man's plain New York slice was "so good that they didn't have to deliver."
Three years later, Sal's grandson Lou has broken that rule. He's not entirely happy about it, but the mechanic-turned-pizzaiolo is doing what's necessary to carry on the legacy of Sal and Carmine's—which, while still serving one of the best slices in the world, has to deal with the day-to-day grind of keeping a food business going on the Upper West Side in 2013.
Lou speaks to the change in this episode of 1 Minute Meal.

Thank you so much for really warm welcome. Please believe me, if I could I would be gladly using Japanese language.
You may not be interested about this, but it will be a part of my introduction, I'm fluently in Polish, not bad in Russian and a little bit of German (I lived in Germany for a while in my life). In my past I tried to learn Japanese and Chinese but I must admit, I failed. Still remember first lesson of Chinese language, and after finish I just remember one expression, what a shame of me.
I have to say, it's good we have now ability to translate many languages thanks for automatic translators. I do realise it's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing. So far I was able to communicate in Spanish, Portuguese and Indonesian languages.
My first visit on Sprasia was curiosity, I was interested about "abandoned" software called DxM. I was trying to find any informations about it in English, but nothing has been found. Just couple short tutorials on Youtube, but those just scratched the surface and didn't provided any information I've been looking for. Next step was start searching "source" in original Japanese language. Maybe not everyone knows, but I'm not afraid of challenges, and if I want something, language barrier will not stop me. As example I can give you PS game called "Dragon Quest Builders". I don't have PS4 neither PS Vita, only PS3 in pristine condition. This game looked so interesting for me, but I knew it's only in Japanese language... and what happened? I found this game in one of Japanese on-line stories, bought it, waiting weeks, but finally this game arrives and I spend many hours enjoying it. Game is obviously in Japanese language.
I would like to thanks for two Sprasia members for warm welcome and constant help. I do really appreciate it and once more, big, big THANK YOU: Kagami-P and Pochi.
Your lovely daughter has been noticed and I want to share picture of my daughters, but most probably when I'm replying this post, I cannot attach anything, so I will upload picture of my daughters and make it public, accessible to anyone want to see it.
Congratulations on your first writing!
Please make a lot of friends here in Sprasia.
Seems that there are many topics we can talk.
It was a luck... I've been searching for information about DxM... and finally I ended up here.
It's not a problem for me reading in Japanese, as I'm able to translate it, however I'm not able to write anything.
DxM stands for "Dance×Mixer", this software has some similarity to MMD, but as I'm aware only few using DxM now.
Many people want to learn english and join in coaching centers. I want to pay someone to do my assignment because I don't have much knowledge in english. Communication is the easy way to learn the language.
I will be glad to help to learn English during conversation.

Last year I began experimenting with trail cams as part of my job. The first trail cam was not great quality, but I certainly did record a lot of bear activity when I placed that camera under a cherry tree. The cherries were falling to the ground. At least two different bears visited and ate the windfall cherries, despite the fact that the cherries were on the road. The bears were out, in the light, eating cherries near people. Cherries certainly do draw wildlife close to homes!
That same summer, I was able to capture a black bear (probably one of those eating cherries) eating Saskatoon Berries (Amelanchier alnifolia) at the edge of the bush behind my place. That particular spot is a favourite wildlife corridor, partly because of the Saskatoon bush and wild apple tree, and partly because there is an old fence below the slope that most wildlife avoid.
There is currently a big (very big!) black bear out back using this travelway. I previously posted some of the clips included in the video below, but I have now pasted them into one video so that you can see the progression of video captures. He (I assume it is a boar) appears in mid-October (when the fantastic huckleberry crop finally ended) and appears occasionally in the trail cam videos I captured. He figures prominently in the story of the deer twin that died behind my home. He may not have killed the deer, but he, four different dogs, and the Coyotes certainly cleaned up the remains.
A Black Bear in early spring out back.
Again, I apologize for the quality of some of the videos, but they do show wildlife that we do not ordinarily see without the aid of hidden cameras. I hope you enjoy them.
Wow, you've got your own wild kingdom! I love the photo of the black bear peeking through the tree.
I live in a great area. and I carry a camera with me everywhere I go!
Yes, you do. We looked it up on the map last night. I'm sure it's beautiful country.
He is a very distinctive bear!

HomeTake ActionPuppy farms
Dogs confined to cruel puppy farms are treated as nothing more than breeding machines, kept in often appalling conditions and used to produce puppies for profit.
Australians love dogs, and many caring Australians are concerned about puppy farms.
Puppies and breeding animals kept on puppy farms (also known as puppy mills or puppy factories) live in appalling conditions.
Dogs are often kept in overcrowded and filthy environments. Breeding animals may be confined permanently in small cages, never being allowed out for a walk, to play or express normal behaviours. These dogs can suffer from a range of health problems and behavioural problems as a result of not being socialised and being housed in conditions that fail to meet their needs.
Puppy farms are usually large-scale commercial operations, but inadequate conditions may also exist in smaller breeding establishments which may or may not be run for profit.
Puppies from puppy farms may be sold via any avenue including the internet, newspaper ads, markets, car boot sales, pet shops, or sometimes at the puppy farm itself. Puppy farms may also use a house as a 'shop front' from which to sell their animals, so you don't get to see the appalling conditions they breed dogs in.
Because of this secrecy, we don't know exactly how many puppy farms there are in Australia, as many puppy farms operate in highly remote areas and are not known to authorities, but with the advent of internet sales it is a growing national problem.
What needs to change
RSPCA Australia is strongly opposed to puppy farming. We advocate regulation of the breeding, supply and sale of companion animals to help set minimum standards and stamp out puppy farms.
Puppy farms produce all kinds of puppies: purebreds, crossbred and mixed-breed, so the only way to know for sure that you're not supporting a puppy farm is to visit the place in which the puppies were bred and meet the parents. Never buy a pet sight unseen over the internet.
The RSPCA has also created Guidelines for the Online Advertising of Pets in response to demand from the community, to help websites develop good policies that protect animals and improve consumer trust.
See the Guidelines
View RSPCA Campaign
If you're looking for a puppy or dog please check with your local RSPCA or other reputable animal rescue organisation first. There are many wonderful dogs and puppies looking for a good home. But if you can't find the right dog for you, you will need to find a responsible dog breeder. Start with the RSPCA Smart Puppy and Dog Buyer's Guide

EECP®	was FDA approved in 1995 for the treatment of coronary artery disease and angina, cardiogenic shock, and for use during a heart attack. In 2002, the FDA approved EECP® as a treatment for congestive heart failure. EECP® has undergone clinical trials at leading universities around the nation and been subject to over a hundred scientific studies published in the most prestigious medical journals throughout the world.


Cancer is a journey. And a difficult one at that. From diagnosis to treatment, the navigation of this disease is complicated for all stakeholders. Patients and caregivers often find the complexities and logistics of care practically insurmountable and the ensuing difficulties may directly compromise clinical care and outcomes.
Patients need a road map. Or better yet, a simple and user friendly way to support clinical care.
It's here now and called Belong. The Belong app provides people with cancer and their families a unique and innovative personalized solution to help manage and fight cancer more effectively. Belong helps provide access to leading leading oncologists, radiologists, researchers & nurses who answer general information questions (without providing specific medical advice), help organize a wide range of documents securely on your mobile device, and facilitate streamlined sharing. They also provide highly-personalized information and notifications that support the unique needs of patients and caregivers leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence. Further, access to a robust clinical trial matching service drives a proactive initiative to support new and emerging treatment options.
The Belong story begins like many traumatic cancer patient journeys when the founders witnessed close family members struggle while trying to navigate cancer care choices - from doctor selection to treatments to side effects to managing emotional overload to paying bills.
One of Belong's co-founders, a successful tech entrepreneur, CEO Eliran Malki, captured the essence of the company.
What if instead of investing in developing faster computers or new financial analytics, we apply our skills to change the way patients and physicians work together, to make the journey more manageable and effective - to enable patients to be a greater influence in future care and drug development?
While Belong provides valuable information for users, it's the back end analytics where some of the magic also lives. And it's the numbers that set Belong apart.
150,000 active members--the largest cancer network in the world.
More than 1 million views per month.
In excess of 500 million machine learning calculations to date.
Analysis of over $100b of US treatment costs per year.
2 million minutes of inpatient education time is saved each year.
The resulting input and analytics result in a "hyper-personalized" approach to allow users to become directly involved in fact finding and support groups that specifically suit their needs--from cancer type to social issues.
The shift from control to collaboration is a driving trend in medicine. A heightened focus on the patient and broader engagement by all stakeholders drive care that is simply better. From logistics and group support to clinical insights around care and treatment, Belong is helping make the road more navigable for many of the individuals on the journey called cancer. And it's the voice of the patient that may have wide influence--from drug development to how we all think about the future of care.

Town land defender on loan
Premier League right-back joins up with Town
Graham Turner has boosted his defensive options just over a week before the start of the new League One season by signing Newcastle United defender James Tavernier on an initial month's loan.
Tavernier, 21, impressed the manager when he played for Shrewsbury in Tuesday's 4-2 pre-season friendly victory over Birmingham City.
Tavernier, a right back, made seven first team appearances for Newcastle last season, playing in the Premier League, FA Cup, Capital One Cup and Europa League.
He has also enjoyed successful spells on loan to Sheffield Wednesday, Carlisle United, MK Dons and Newcastle's non-League neighbours Gateshead.
The paperwork on the move was completed Friday afternoon and manager Graham Turner is pleases to have finally added him to his squad:"James is a player we identified as one of our targets towards the end of last season.
"Newcastle wanted him to go to Championship club at first but in the end our perseverance has paid off.
"He is a good player and has experience for the Newcastle first team as well as loan spells with Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons and Carlisle United.
"Fan's will have got an early look at James in Tuesday night's game and will have seen what he has to offer us."

Exhibition of artwork by Jimmy Mirikitani
Jun 200710 — Ago 200712
Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center
The Art of Jimmy Mirikitani
This summer ONLC is hosting a collection of paintings and drawings by Jimmy Mirkitani that explore his life and work, the lasting impacts of war and discrimination, and the healing power of creativity.
"Make art not war" is Jimmy Mirikitani's motto. Jimmy is an 87-year-old artist who was born in Sacramento, California in 1920 and raised and educated in Hiroshima, Japan. He returned to the United States in 1938 to pursue a career in art, and was living in Seattle with his sister Kazuko when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Executive Order 9066 forced Jimmy and his sister to leave their home and move to separate internment camps hundreds of miles apart. Jimmy was sent to Tule Lake War Relocation Camp, located about 150 miles south of the Oregon-California border. He renounced his U.S. citizenship in protest there. After the war ended, Jimmy and hundreds of others continued to be held without charge, first in Tule Lake, then in a Department of Justice INS camp in Crystal City, Texas. He was transferred to "relaxed internment," working the 12 hour night shift, 6 days a week, sorting vegetables on an assembly line at Seabrook Farms in New Jersey, and was released from there in August of 1947. A single lawyer, Wayne Collins, worked for decades to help Jimmy and 5,000 other renunciants reclaim the citizenship they had given up under duress.
Jimmy arrived in New York City in the early 1950s to attempt to resume his art career. When an art professor found him sleeping in the Columbia University library, he was referred to the New York Buddhist Church where he was provided with room, board, and training as a cook. For years, he traveled the East Coast working seasonal jobs.
Jimmy's U.S. citizenship was finally restored in 1959, but by then he had moved so often that the government's letter never reached him. Eventually, Jimmy became a live-in cook on Park Avenue. But when his employer died in the late 1980's, Jimmy found himself without home or job. Within a year he was homeless and living in Washington Square Park in New York City, selling his artwork to survive. He was homeless for two decades.
In 2001, he met Linda Hattendorf, who later produced a documentary film, The Cats of Mirikitani, about Jimmy's life and work. She helped him apply for Social Security, SSI, and housing benefits, and in 2002 he moved into an assisted-living retirement center. Later that same year, he was reunited with his sister Kazuko for the first time in 60 years.
Portland showing made possible by The Wing Luke Asian Museum. Curated by Roger Shimomura, American artist and former internee. Exhibit graphic design by Wilmer Galindo and Michelle Kumata. Thanks also to Linda Hattendorf, director of the documentary film The Cats of Mirikitani.
Exhibit hours:
Tuesday - Saturday 11 am to 3 pm, Sundays noon to 3 pm.
Admission is $3 (free for Friends of the Legacy Center).

Star Business Journal
Torstar cuts 13 jobs at StarMetro in Toronto; no papers will be cancelled
Wed., Nov. 21, 2018timer1 min. read
TORONTO—The company that runs Canada's largest newspaper by circulation is laying off more than a dozen employees who work on its free commuter papers.
Torstar, which operates the Toronto Star, is cutting 13 jobs in its StarMetro department.
The company says those affected are mostly involved in editing and production, and are all based in Toronto.
It says the work will be moved to its Star editorial department, its copy editing centre in Hamilton and its pagination centre in northern Toronto.
None of the company's publications, which include StarMetro papers in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax, will be cancelled.
Torstar launched the StarMetro brand in April, adding 20 jobs in what it called a "major national expansion."


In this episode we take a look at Baseball, a 1983 arcade game based on... you guessed it: baseball.
For an NES launch title, Baseball offers an impressive level of depth. Just don't expect to learn the controls without taking a good look at the manual. After you've done your reading, you have plenty of options while playing. It does a pretty good job of simulating the sport. If you can do it in real baseball, there's a good chance you can do it in this game... with one glaring exception: you cannot field the ball! Instead you'll have to watch as the painfully slow A.I. controlled fielders chase after it. If you are not a baseball fan, you probably won't have a great time with this game. If you are a baseball fan, then you might have fun for a bit (particularly if you are playing against a friend) but don't expect to have the time of your life.
Functionally, yes it's playable. You might be a bit frustrated at times due to the lack of fielding, but other than that the controls work pretty well once you get the hang of them. As far as accessibility, you have quite a few options. In addition to the NES cartridge, it was also released on the Gameboy, GBA E-reader, and on the Wii and 3DS virtual console. It also appears as a bonus game in Animal Crossing for the GameCube. If you happen to have this game kicking around you likely won't regret having a go, but it's probably not worth going out of your way to find.
As a launch game, it lays the groundwork for future baseball games. If nothing else it proves that baseball is a sport that can be successfully made into a functioning video game. While there's no doubt that later games did it better, Baseball lays a strong foundation.
THE VERDICT: Though Baseball provides some moderate entertainment, it's certainly not enough to make our list of ESSENTIAL NES games. It's not a bad game by any means, but if you want to skip this one, you won't be missing out on too much.

May 5 - 27, 2018 , Outcalt Theatre
The Royale
Written by Marco Ramirez
Directed by Robert Barry Fleming
Run time: 90 minutes, no intermission
Advisory: Strong language
It's 1910, and Negro Heavyweight Champion Jay "The Sport" Jackson is determined to prove he is equal to his white counterpart—in the ring and in life. Challenging his rival to "The Fight of the Century," Jay knows that even if he wins the bout, the battle for acceptance won't end. Inspired by groundbreaking sports legend Jack Johnson, The Royale is an electrifying adrenaline rush that packs an unforgettable punch as it takes you inside Jim Crow America, inside the ring, and inside the head of this remarkable fighter.
Join us for a CPH Season Extra: Taking A Knee on Sunday, May 27 at 4:00pm, when director Robert Barry Fleming will engage three-time Super Bowl Champion Je'Rod Cherry in a post-show discussion exploring the last century of the African-American professional athlete and how simply by participating in the professional arena, they are perceived as making a political statement.

Drier Summers Are Stoking Western Wildfires
As wildfires rage, a US Forest Service study finds fewer incidences of rainfall and less total rainfall in the West.
Night long exposure photograph of the Santa Clarita wildfire in CA. The Santa Clarita Valley mountains has drawn firefighters and emergency crews in the hills toward Acton. So far, the fire has burned 38,346 acres. | Getty Images
The West is not only getting hotter, it's getting less rain — and that's likely to mean worsening fire seasons for a region that's already seen a surge in massive blazes in recent years.
That's the conclusion of a new study led by researchers from the US Forest Service, who looked at changes in rainfall across the forests of the West between 1979 and 2016 and compared it to satellite images of wildfires.
The West is largely arid already. But the number of days that saw more than 2.54 millimeters — a tenth of an inch — of rain shrank between 36 and 45 percent across the region, while the total amount of rainfall dropped by about a third. Less precipitation leaves vegetation drier, meaning more combustible fuel is available.
"If these trends persist, decreases in summer precipitation and the associated summertime aridity increases would lead to more burned area across the western United States, with far-reaching ecological and socioeconomic impacts," the study concludes.
The findings were published today in the research journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study comes as more than 50 uncontained, large fires are burning across the West this week, charring more than 1.7 million acres.
About a third of that is from two large fires in northern California that have killed 10 people, including four firefighters. But nearly 6 million acres have burned this year to date, about 20 percent more than the 10-year average.
RELATED: Air Quality Plummets as Wildfires Rage, Putting Public Health at Risk
In 2016, a US Forest Service report found fire seasons averaged two and a half months longer than they did in 1970, and the typical number of acres burned has doubled in that time. And in January, scientists at the University of California warned that climate change and decades of efforts to beat back fires — which forests need periodically to thrive — had left state forests packed with nearly 130 million dead trees. That raises the odds of bigger and harder-to-fight wildfires.
The brutal wildfire seasons are consistent with scientists' expectations for a warming world. Temperatures in the region are already running about 2 degrees F (1.1 degrees C) over the historic averages, and earlier research suggests human-caused climate change is already producing bigger fires.
Western states rely heavily on winter snows in the mountains to store water for the rest of the year, and earlier studies have pointed to warmer temperatures and reduced winter snowpack as forces driving the increasing size and intensity of wildfires. But the new study suggests reduced rainfall may play a bigger role. For instance, a wet, cold winter in 2017 helped break years of drought in California, but the following summer saw another stretch of record-low rainfall and another major fire season.
"Understanding the climatic drivers of fire activity is important for informing forest management," the new study's authors report. "Our findings are consistent with future climate projections, which predict further decreases in summer precipitation and longer dry periods between rain events across much of the West."


This week I want to talk about the importance of the artwork brief. In our book 'Developing and Sustaining Excellent Packaging, Labelling and Artwork Capabilities' we say it is a key part a world-class process. So here I talk through why I see it as being so important, why some companies believe they don't need one, and for those who embrace the change, the continued discipline in its use, post implementation.
Events either inside or outside a company will result in the need to introduce new artwork or change existing artwork. So a 'change' is required. I recommend to clients, as part of their move to excellence, that the 'change' is defined in an artwork brief and signed off as approved by key parties before starting.
A common reaction by companies is to think it unnecessary and I often get push back on the idea. They would much prefer to jump straight into designing the artwork using existing artwork as a vehicle to gather all the necessary information. They believe adding an extra step will slow the process.
However by analysing their existing processes I am able to show their current way of working results in artwork going round the development cycle several times, resulting in very long lead-times, frequent omissions or errors and some very stressed staff!
In reality the brief is a collection of the information required and the source documents. A good brief is a clear and concise record of the change required with no room for any misinterpretation. The marked up artwork should be amended and presented with suitable software and not done by hand, for example.
An additional powerful use of the brief comes from the key stakeholders agreeing this is the change required. The signatories would need to be defined for each part of your company. This approval forms a critical control point in the process.
Once a piece of artwork is produced its review and approval would be made against the artwork brief, by the same signatories, making sure all the changes required have been implemented and that no other changes have been made inadvertently.
If an error is discovered with the artwork, caused by an incorrect brief, it is an important all parties realise a new artwork brief is required, with the correct information and there should be no temptation to 'fudge' the process.
It is hard discipline to start with and it needs to be continually reinforced by the process owners, but only by forcing people to stick to the correct process will you find that your 'right first time' metrics improve. Reducing the number of times artwork has to go through the process will then reduce lead-times overall, as well as making them more consistent.
In my next set of articles I will talk about the part played by various groups, starting with the packaging technologists/engineers.

Car News Diesel SUV Toyota Turbo Utes and pickups
Updated 2021 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series now on sale
Toyota Australia has unveiled the 2021 update for the trusty 70 Series LandCruiser. It brings in a touch-screen media interface across the board, with added creature comforts now available.
The biggest change for the long-running model line is the introduction of a 6.1-inch touch-screen interface for all models, which was first confirmed in August last year. It includes embedded satellite navigation with SUNA traffic updates, along with Bluetooth connectivity, and Toyota Link smart phone mirroring (with compatible devices).
There's also two USB ports in the front, a two-speaker stereo for ute and troop-carrier models, and a four-speaker unit for the wagon. A tilt-and-reach steering column adjustment is standard for all, with a collapsible column for safety, and cruise control.
The single-cab and double-cab ute is available in WorkMate and GXL, and there's a mid-range GX for the single-cab, while the troop-carrier and wagon are available in WorkMate and GXL trim grades only.
Going for the GXL in all body styles adds 16-inch alloy wheels (up from 16-inch steel wheels), wheel arch flares, power windows, chrome trimmings around the front end, central locking, variable intermittent wipers, and carpet flooring (as opposed to vinyl) with cloth seats. Differential locks are also standard on the GXL.
The GX trim for the single-cab drops the carpet and cloth interior for vinyl, and it misses out on power windows, aluminium side steps, central locking, diff locks (although optional), and variable intermittent wipers, but it does come with the 16-inch alloys and wheel arch flares.
In terms of safety tech, the 2021 70 Series includes ABS brakes with multi-piston calipers, side impact beams in the doors, and dual front airbags. Traction control is also standard. ANCAP has given the single-cab 70 Series a five-star safety rating, although it was last tested in 2016. All other body styles are unrated.
As for the powertrain, the 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 carries over unchanged. This is set to be the last diesel V8 in Toyota's showroom once the 300 Series LandCruiser arrives. It develops 151kW at 3400rpm, and 430Nm between 1200-3200rpm. This is matched to a five-speed manual, with no auto option available.
The engine meets Euro 5 emissions standards and offers an official average consumption of 10.7L/100km. The engine also features an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to reduce emissions, as well as piezo injectors for response and efficiency.
Various genuine accessories are available for the 70 Series, including bull bars (steel and alloy), side rails, tow bar packages, heavy-duty roof racks, headlight covers, and even a winch including a lightweight synthetic rope. Toyota also offers an auxiliary battery kit accessible from the tray with a three-stage charger.
The 2021 70 Series LandCruiser update is covered by a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, and Toyota says if the vehicle is serviced and maintained according to the warranty and service book, the company provides an additional two years coverage for the driveline and engine. Capped-priced servicing is also standard. See below for the starting prices (excluding on-road costs):
2021 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series single-cab
Workmate: $68,950
GX: $70,950
GXL: $73,050

Christian Dior (Granville, 21 de janeiro de 1905 — Montecatini Val di Cecina, 24 de outubro de 1957) foi um importante estilista francês. É o fundador da empresa de vestuário Christian Dior S.A., uma das mais famosas da moda mundial.

Filho de um comerciante de fertilizantes da região do Canal da Mancha, desejou ser artista plástico, mas foi enviado para Paris a fim de estudar Relações Internacionais, uma vez que o seu pai queria que o filho seguisse a carreira diplomática.

Ainda jovem começou a frequentar ateliês de pintura e de desenho, chegando mesmo a pintar alguns quadros. Mas foi a sua habilidade para desenhar roupas que lhe proporcionou uma carreira internacional. O seu círculo de amigos expandiu-se e conheceu um importante empresário da indústria têxtil, que lhe garantiu patrocínio para a produção de algumas peças. O investimento que foi bem sucedido: os seus traços e a visão que tinha do corpo feminino causaram fascínio e delírio e, em 1947 inaugurou a Mansão Dior de que o mundo pós-guerra necessitava. Além de causar fascínio pela sua elegância e luxo, o conceito do New Look vinha carregado de extravagância e exagero: vestidos tradicionalmente feitos com 5 metros de tecido, agora usavam até 40 metros. Isso também ajudou a repercussão do conceito permitindo encerrar a mentalidade do racionamento no pós-guerra. Durante a guerra, Dior vestia desde as esposas dos generais do império Nazista às mulheres francesas.

Ao longo de sua carreira fez a própria tradução física dos sonhos e da fantasia humana através de seus vestidos. Morreu durante suas férias em Montecatini Val di Cecina, Itália, no dia 23 de outubro de 1957, vítima de um ataque cardíaco.

The DaVinci Academy busing system is different from most traditional public schools.
DaVinci Academy does not offer door to door busing service to any families unless a child has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) that reflects the need for special transportation. DaVinci Academy uses community bus stops to serve the students. The bus routes and stops are determined by the bus company, Kottke's Bus Company, Inc., in coordination with the school, and are created by using the following guiding principles:
Community-based bus stops: Publicly accessible places where families can safely wait with their kids in the morning and wait for them in the afternoon, and where the bus can easily access and maneuver. We also require permission from the establishment for use of their parking lot twice each day.
Maximum 50 minute average ride (assuming good weather and normal traffic). This implies shorter distances and fewer stops.
Generally stop within the Anoka Hennepin school district boundaries and no stops further than 1.5 miles outside the Anoka Hennepin school district boundaries.
A preliminary set of stops is communicated to families in spring of the preceding year and families are required to choose the stop that they will be using for the following school year using a school designed form. Routes are then adjusted based on numbers and a final bus stop listing is presented to parents before the next school year begins.
If you want more information on the bus service DaVinci Academy offers, including specifics on whether the busing option might work for you and your child, please send us a message or call the office at (763) 754-6577.
The purpose of the Uniform Policy is to minimize distraction and focus students' attention on their work at school rather than their attire, and to project a unified school image, which is proper and neat in appearance, reflecting the important work of the school.
The dress code is also a means to support and promote the mission and vision of the school.
For more information please review the Uniform Policy and Guidelines (Policy 504)
DaVinci Academy follows a "year-round" school calendar: students start school the second week of August and continue through the third week of June each year, with approximately 6 weeks for a summer break.
The rationale for this calendar is that students retain more over the short break, and it reduces the time spent gearing up and re-teaching each fall.
We take more frequent breaks during the school year and find that the breaks are good for both students and teachers as they help keep both from burning out during the year. Breaks also provide teachers and administrators time to review data, refresh lesson plans based on that data, and prepare for the next unit of instruction.

Newcastle United Foundation Amputee Football Team Reach Final On EAFL Debut
Newcastle United Foundation's Amputee Football team made their debut in the England Amputee Football League Cup at the weekend, reaching the final of the EAFL Plate competition.
The competition, which took place at Tamworth FC, saw eight teams in attendance from all over the country, including Manchester City, Everton, and Portsmouth.
More than 80 players from both junior and adult squads came together to showcase the best of English Amputee Football.
The Foundation started the day with a strong performance against eventual Cup winners Portsmouth, succumbing to a narrow 2-0 defeat. The loss meant the Magpies moved into the EAFL Plate competition where they successfully overcame Brighton by the same score line in the semi-final.
The final pitched our debutants against an experienced Manchester City side who eventually overcame the Foundation 2-0 to win their first silverware for four years.
Reggie Dornan, Senior Disability Football Development Officer for Newcastle United Foundation, said: 'To reach the Plate final and play so well on their first competitive outing is absolutely magnificent. Every one of the Foundation players can be proud of their performances. Our coaches Andy Simpson and Robbie Welch have worked so hard for so long with the group, it's just reward for all their efforts'
'It was a fantastic day of Amputee Football and really showcased the amount of talent that is being developed across the country. Hopefully the league can grow from here and inspire more players and more teams to take part in the competition. The EAFA and the league provide opportunities for getting involved in the England and international football set up as well so it's proof that there are genuine chances for development within Amputee Football.'
'We're looking forward to hosting a fixture day in Newcastle in April for the EAFA', he added.
The EAFA established the competition during the 2012/13 season as a means to give amputee football players access to competitive fixtures and help develop players further.
Newcastle United Foundation Amputee Football is funded through the People's Postcode Lottery.
