The Winternationals will be Matt Sackman's third race driving one of Randy Meyer Racing's championship-caliber A/Fuel dragsters in the loaded Top Alcohol Dragster class. The effort will be supported by Hangsterfer's, Gemini Farms and TMS Titanium.
Matt's schedule as a crew member on the Antron Brown-driven Matco Tools Top Fuel dragster for Don Schumacher Racing has prevented him from competing in national events in the past. While Sackman will still serve as a cylinder head specialist on Brown's car this weekend, he'll occasionally slip away from the Matco pits when Top Alcohol Dragsters are called to the staging lanes.

Slow sand filtration is credited with being the first drinking water treatment process utilised to improve the quality of water in both modern Europe and the USA. Within the last 10 years, there has been a renaissance of interest in the potential use of enhanced processes of slow sand filtration throughout the world, especially for small and rural communities, and it continues to be the primary treatment process for many major European cities. The book deals with the latest research developments in slow sand and alternative biological filtration processes for drinking water treatment, including advances in the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of the processes. In addition, progress in the techniques of operation and upgrading of the processes are described, with case studies from around the world. The principal themes of the book are: General overview; Removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM), Biodegradable Organic Carbon (BOC) and Ozonation by-products; Biofilter media characteristics; Influence of process design variables and modifications; Modelling process performance; Pre-treatment applications; Operational experience and cleaning; and Upgrading treatment processes. The book also has an international perspective with case-studies from around the world.

Phoenix Realty Group Expands Florida Footprint with Acquisition of Two Multifamily Communities
NAPLES, FL - Phoenix Realty Group (PRG), a national multifamily real estate fund manager, investor and operator, purchased two properties through affiliated entities, one on the east coast of Florida and one on the west coast, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Both properties were purchased with third party partners. Sabal Key, a 200-unit Class B multifamily apartment community in Naples, and Parrots Landing, a 408-unit Class B multifamily apartment community in North Lauderdale, will expand PRG's presence in the state. PRG will operate both rental communities and plans to renovate, upgrade, and modernize the properties to offer an attractive option for tenants. Debt financing for Sabal Key was arranged by CIT Bank and by Berkeley Point Capital (now known as Newmark Knight Frank) for Parrots Landing.
Sabal Key will be rebranded Alvista Golden Gate under PRG's proprietary brand, Alvista Communities®. The property was built in 1988 and comprises 25 two-story buildings on a 17.3-acre site. The attractive community offers several amenities, including a swimming pool and sundeck, a clubhouse, two lake-front decks, and a dog park. At the time of the sale, 21 units were unoccupied due to storm damage. Those units will be renovated and receive a rental premium for the upgrade.
"We believe there is significant upside to increase rents through the renovation of the down units, implementation of a comprehensive unit renovation plan, amenity upgrades, and operational and rent management improvements," said Ron Orgel, managing director of acquisitions for PRG's eastern United States region. "The previous owners had upgraded only three units, leaving a significant opportunity for us to renovate and enhance most of the remaining units."
Orgel also emphasized the prime location of the property. "Sabal Key is within minutes of Interstate 75; beautiful white-sand beaches; upscale shopping; health care, government, and tourism employment centers; public and private golf courses; and a plethora of public recreational amenities."
The property sits across the street from the Golden Gate Community Park, which features a large fitness center, a pool with water slides, athletic fields, a playground, and a large dog park.
Parrots Landing was rebranded Alvista Lauderdale and is consistent with PRG's strategy to purchase larger apartment communities that offer competitive amenities in their respective markets. The property, built in 1986, comprises 17 three-story walk-up buildings on a 22-acre site with two swimming pools, a clubhouse and fitness center, tennis court, and picnic areas.
"PRG believes significant upside exists through the implementation of a comprehensive in-unit renovation plan, amenity upgrades, introducing typical charges for utilities, exterminator fees, admin fees, etc., and operational and rent management improvements," said J. Michael Fried, CEO and founder of PRG.
Located in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area, the location offers convenient access to Broward County employment centers, 9 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale and 12 miles southwest of Boca Raton. PRG also owns a nearby property, Alvista Pembroke Landings, in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
"Parrots Landing was ideal for our multifamily value-added strategy," Fried said. "The previous owner didn't upgrade amenities or apartment units, other than installing vinyl plank flooring in some units. We have an overall renovation program to improve the rental marketability of the apartments and the value of the property."
With the acquisitions, PRG now owns five properties in Florida totaling more than 1,400 units.

Lincoln to the Rescue
What the master politician of 1862 can teach the presidential hopefuls of 2012
By David Von Drehle Oct. 25, 2012
Photo colorization by Sanna Dullaway for TIME; Original image by Alexander Gardner / Library of Congress
Allan Pinkerton, President Lincoln, and Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand at Antietam in 1862.
A.L. Confidential
Lincoln Portraits: From Frontier Lawyer to War President
Daniel Day-Lewis and Steven Spielberg Q & A
Of all the words a proud, ambitious man might use to describe himself, perhaps only Abraham Lincoln would choose strange. Yet there it is. In one of his earliest wisps of autobiography, Lincoln wrote that he was "a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy" when he emerged from the backwoods in his early 20s to make his way in the world. Editors of Lincoln's Collected Works found the word so perplexing that they added an r to transform him into a mere stranger. But the late David Herbert Donald, one of Lincoln's most admired biographers, astutely recognized that the man meant what he said.
Strange can mean odd or quirky, and Lincoln was certainly that. His foes nicknamed him the Gorilla, which captures his long-armed, shambling animal strength. His hands and feet were enormous, and his brow was simian. Yet when he spoke, a high and reedy voice twanged forth incongruously. At one moment, he might be braying loudly over one of his own salty jokes, and at the next, lost in catatonic silence.
Strange can also mean unfamiliar, alien. This too is Lincoln, who never quite fit in. The youthful Lincoln was a rawboned genius on an uncomprehending frontier. As President, he was a self-taught rustic surrounded by the polished burghers of Eastern society. Magnetic, keenly sensitive, often able to understand others better than they understood themselves, Lincoln was nevertheless profoundly isolated. Perhaps the early deaths of his mother and sister steeped him in sorrow so thoroughly that he learned to prefer loneliness to intimacy. He "never had a confidant," his law partner William Herndon wrote. "He was the most reticent and mostly secretive man that ever existed."
Despite interviewing dozens of Lincoln's associates in the months after his death, J.G. Holland, an early biographer, found himself stumped. "There are not two who agree in their estimate of him," he wrote. One would say "he was a very ambitious man"; another would assert "that he was without a particle of ambition." People said that "he was one of the saddest men that ever lived, and that he was one of the jolliest men that ever lived … that he was a man of indomitable will, and that he was a man almost without a will; that he was a tyrant, and that he was the softest-hearted, most brotherly man that ever lived." The real Lincoln, Holland concluded, was the sum of his contradictions.
This shape-shifting quality has allowed writers and politicians of every stripe to claim or reject Lincoln. He has been extolled as the Great Emancipator and criticized as a racist, praised as the hero of free labor and denounced as a tool of industrialists. Lionized as a man of peace and lambasted as a warmonger, beloved for his "new birth of freedom" and berated for his offenses against civil liberties and small government. Today he is philosophical soulmate to Presidents from both ends of the spectrum: George W. Bush quoted him last year on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, while Barack Obama name-checked him as recently as the first debate.
But his strange contradictions were essential to his political success. Though he once declared that he "was a party man and did not believe in any man who was not," Lincoln was, in important ways, always a party of one. He had an unusual ability to look at things through the eyes of his critics as well as his friends. He was willing to turn the same cold gaze on himself, to appreciate the limits of his popularity, which he studied closely because popularity is the wellspring of power. Once, an angry critic of the confounding George McClellan demanded to know why Lincoln tolerated the Union general's insubordinate behavior. Lincoln coolly replied that McClellan was "a majority general," while he was but "a minority President." That makes all the difference in a government of, by and for the people.
It is tempting in times of great political strife and division—like Lincoln's and our own—to pine for leaders who transcend politics. But the success of the 16th President teaches that hard times are precisely when political dexterity is needed most. Politics is the machinery by which we meet tough challenges. Lincoln drilled this idea into his closest aides so thoroughly that they could channel his philosophy after he was gone. "Every war is begun, dominated and ended by political considerations," explained John Nicolay and John Hay, Lincoln's faithful secretaries. "War and politics, campaign and statecraft, are Siamese twins, inseparable and interdependent."

Use this chapter to remind yourself and everyone else.
Fail spectacularly, and don't forget to take notes.
There is a lot of crowd wisdom at work here. It's basic physics, too -- if you charge ahead and fall on your face, you at least made headway. Like feeling your way around in the dark, each touch, bump, and stub of the toe teaches you more about the environment.
When you drive your processes and technology to the brink of failure, repeatedly, you get very comfortable somewhere most people don't even want to go. You also get to set a new standard for what is comfortable for your community, giving you new room to expand even further.
Honda Engine company engineers tell how they use failure to drive innovation. In 1994 when Honda Performance Development started working with the Formula One racing engines, the program was a huge failure. They had engines failing in races and turbochargers blowing off the engine, including blowing the bottom out of the engine and "in to ... a million pieces." Former division president Robert Clarke describes a five-gallon bucket of engine parts collected from the track.
"All the demands from Soichiro Honda were to take risks and fail. The idea is that you can fail 100 times as long as you suceed once. 'Trial and Error' sums up Soichiro Honda's ideas. We can only make fantastic adances in technology through many failures. I think that's what he wanted to say."
These experiences taught them a lot, which made it's way back in to the engine design immediately. In 1995, they won their first race, and in 1996 they won the championship. Honda now is now a major or sole supplier of engines to racing leagues.
Imagine if you grow a garden and are very ambitious. The first year you overplant and are unwilling to thin out the seedlings. You end up with overcrowded, unhealthy plants.
In online communities (including open source communities), there is a strong drive for immediate and explosive growth. This is usually achieved by promoting the project in as many environments as are appropriate, with the result that many people join the community out of casual interest. There's usually a strong impulse to accept early adopters as committers, to create the impression of a viable, strong team.
Contributing community members - those who affect the actual direction of the project - should be chosen based on merit (how much they actually contribute, and the value of their contributions) and consensus. If someone contributes fixes to a number of critical bugs, perhaps they should get write access for the project (and a corresponding voice); if, however, that same person creates a poisonous atmosphere for the community, perhaps promotion is not such a great idea.
It's also worthwhile to take note of core community members, rewarding those who contribute regardless of coding ability. For example, consider someone who is great at helping new users but hasn't tried to fix bugs - recognizing the contribution creates a positive impression for that user and everyone else. Positive motivation encourages others to do what garnered the reward, which - again - makes the entire community more strong.
Growth should always be encouraged, by the entire community; just try to assure that the growth is composed of candidates who've earned membership. This does not mean that everyone has to get along perfectly at all times; personality conflicts are certainly possible (and likely, in some cases). However, the community at large shouldn't allow specific members' opinions to make primary decisions like this; seek consensus rather than responding to the urging of a small subset.
Of course, a member's actions might be severe enough to warrant a response. Use reason; consider whether anyone would be caught by surprise if an action is taken.
Seriously, you would be surprised at how many of the most basic rules are broken that our parents and teachers thought they taught us many years ago.
These four virtues were described by Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman in their seminal talk on avoiding poisonous people in communities.
These virtues are implemented in every part of the community. Public and private discussions, all communication channels from in person to IRC, and sometimes even in the nature of the project itself.
Make your community culture be to document answers when asking for help. The documenting should be done by the asker.
People offering help should require that the help be documented.
When the asker is a new member of the community (newbie), this is a great way to turn them from an annoyance in to an instant contributor.
Even if it means stopping and restarting a conversation in a public/archived location, keep this in mind at all times.
If it's not in the public record, then it doesn't exist.
This means that when you have private discussions, and such hallway conversations do happen, the responsibility is on the participants to record as best as possible the conversation -- notes taken in the middle and at the end can suffice as such documentation. The results of this discussion, minus privately sensitive matters, must be sent to the main openly archived discussion area, such as the community mailing list.
Remember that such discussions are not where decisions are made. You can decide on a recommendation, but that must be made to the larger body and openly decided with all able to participate.
Trust but verify. A commitment to participatory transparency invests into the mutually held bank of trust. "Just trust us" decisions done behind closed doors spend from the bank of trust. The bank can go broke all too easily.
Any private interactions, from the hallway to email/irc to phone calls, are a risk to the project. At the minimum, you must be mindful of reporting back the results of direct conversation.
However, this isn't really good enough. A summary of a meeting never shows the reasoned discussion, effectively cutting the community out of the decision making process.
There is a reason mailing lists and open chat networks are the baseline for all communication in successful open source projects.
We cannot guess what is important to contributors, nor why. Presuming they don't care about a decision is a bad idea.
The method is to take all decisions to the open forums, until people start complaining that a particular class of decisions can happen in another way/place. This is called, "Building trust by proof through annoying transparency."
No one is going to like every decision made, and people will be disappointed. That is a fact of life we cannot avoid.
However, no one should ever be surprised, especially by something perceived as negative. It is a morale killer and eventually drives people away.
Sometimes we hold back on letting people know information because we are concerned they'll be disappointed. When mishandled, those folks end up disappointed and surprised, which is a potently negative combination.
You may need to inform people in a private communication channel, and should do so often where there is a chance they may not know or could not know a decision.
If you find people being surprised too often, do a serious review of your communication methods. For some reason, you are not reaching enough of the people for word to spread.
Don't bury decisions in other text that people don't read. As with a software patch, people can understand changes better when they arrive in discrete chunks to the community commons, such as a mailing list or blog planet. You may need to split decisions or discussion points out to individual threads so people can see the various trees as well as the forest.
If you find a decision or detail is buried in a discussion and people might miss it, find a way to highlight it so that people are not surprised later.
A mailing list is the core of any active community that gets things done. It is the equivalent to having everyone in the same office all the time. The functionality has not been duplicated, replicated, or replaced with any other technology in more than twenty years. News service is arguably better, but mailing lists are ubiquitous.
Everything must be discussed on the list.
Even when all content is done using open resources, if you make design decisions via in-person meetings, hallway discussions, over lunch, during the daily commute, and so forth, then you are leaving the community out of work that really matters. They'll notice and care.
A decision doesn't exist unless it's discussed on the mailing list first.
A conclusion isn't justified unless the discussion demonstrating it and evidence backing it up are visible publicly.
A discussion doesn't exist unless it's on the mailing list - send at least a summary of all non-public discussions to the mailing list, with the conclusions open for further discussion.
You must not have anything that can block a release or development process be non-public. For example, you don't want to be in the position of telling your community something is broken in a private test environment and you can't recreate if for their review.
Look through your entire process, identify the non-public parts, and figure out how to expose them.
You may have some testing and development infrastructure that is non-public and need to work out how to make them public. In some cases, the best you can do (for at least the short-term) is to make reports public. You may end up helping other people to create a similar environment in a public cloud simply to make sure processes are kept flowing.
Being able to roll back work encourages people to be bold and innovative. One of the currencies of project work is simply making a change to a codebase or a document as an explanation itself. Changes are self-evident in the commit itself. This is why all changes must be accompanied with a comment or summary that explains the reasons behind the change.
Equally important is that all project members watch these changes. Responding to the changes on a mailing list, bug report, or wiki discussion page keeps the discussion associated with the node of origin.
Don't choose tools just because your small team knows them the best. Be careful of choosing something because you are in a hurry and need something quickly.
When it comes to tools, talk with trusted community leaders about what you should use. Even if you choose something out of step with other community members, you will at least know why you did and be prepared to mitigate risk.
It is risky to choose closed tools that a community cannot easily scale itself.
With version control under code and content, you can open access to more people. For example, don't require people to go through a lengthy process or to "prove" themselves with X number of patches. Give people access to whatever they need to make a difference, even if they don't use the access.
Wikipedia is a prime example here. They use the power of the community size to police bad content changes, rather than limiting the community size behind rules of what it takes to write content changes.
More people want to do good for your project than want to do bad. Don't punish the do-gooders because of the potential evil someone might do.
Don't forget to document code, processes, methods, reasons, etc.
If your goal is to have a healthy community that can grow to scale while supporting itself, then you have to think of it as you would any other relationship.
Perhaps you do business based on your project's output, such as selling support for open source software you help create. In that class, the community is your open supply chain. The healthier that supply chain is, the better the product is that you do business around.
The key to healthy community interaction is focusing on transparent communication.
Every decision is not real and binding until it has been discussed openly.
Organizations that have private communication on other matters, such as corporations, must take extra vigilence to keep communication open and transparent. It's too easy to make decisions in the hallway, which creates community mistrust.
If your supply chain is important to you, you and all your people must keep healthy communication as a higher priority than personal agendas and taking offense.
Most decisions in an open community are not decided by a vote. As in a well-working democracy, decisions are handled by the experts and knowledgeable people who are in charge at the will of the people around them.
Voting is best left for deciding who is in charge and the occasional very contentious issue. Don't you wish it weren't contentious? Wish you could go back and make a consensus?
It's crucial to the success of an open collaboration that no part of the work is held back "until it's just right."
Many of us have the tendency to keep code, content, or ideas to ourselves until we get them finished enough, polished enough for others to review. In open source development methodologies, that perfection seeking is the enemy of the good enough.
Innovation is a process of building on existing ideas, in novel or even repetitive ways. We need others to see our ideas early and often so their influence can improve the ideas before they are too fixed to be improved.
Make it the rule that nothing is held back until finished. Treat it like a Zen practice - release early and often, every day or every hour if need-be.
Every idea deserves the light of day as early as possible.
A common mistake is to wait to release a document, process, marketing plan, etc. until it is "just right". People who otherwise fully understand how not to do this in code forget when it comes to other parts of a project.
It's easy to say, "We designed this for such-and-such a reason for this particular audience." It's not so easy to be the only creator and maintainer, though. If you want to grow beyond just you and your niche group, you have to be willing to accept the influx of new ideas and directions that comes with open collaboration.
There is a lot of disagreement over how fast an open source project should move. Many projects have found the six month release cycle is not too long nor too short.
Regardless of what type of schedule you choose, you need to stick to it and keep your community informed about the status of the schedule. Remember, it's OK to disappoint people sometimes, but not surprise them.
One reason time based schedules are used so often in open source is that it forces developers to release early and often, and not sit on code waiting for a feature to be completed. Incremental updates provide the community a chance to keep up, help, and contribute.
Even if you follow a feature based schedule, it is useful to break it down to smaller, time-based deliverables. This keeps your community interested and able to test, knowing that at regular, predictable intervals there will be something for them to try out.
Part of practicing the open source way is teaching others about how and why they want to adopt this way of working, thinking, and acting.
Remember that in all your interactions, it helps for you not to presume that you are an expert and know all there is to know. Even in domains you are familiar with, ask basic and dumb and open and revealing questions. Ask any questions that help you make sure to reveal and map the principles of The Open Source Way to an individual domain.
Open projects need to have low barriers of entry. People and organizations are giving of their time and other resources, so if you are going to make them leap over any barrier, it needs to be a clear barrier with a clear reason. Otherwise, it's an invisible problem that makes people disappear before you even know they are there.
If new participants come along and run in to a real, implied, or accidental barrier, a certain percentage of them will just walk away at that moment. At the very least, if you inform those people of what the barriers are and why they are there, then these folks will walk away informed instead of bailing out of ignorance.
If you want open collaborators, you must make all barriers as low as possible. You must advertise this access-level clearly.
If there are levels of access, such as "can write to the mailing list and file bugs" all the way over to "can commit major code changes to the source repository", then you must make it clear what these levels are and how to obtain them.
Wikipedia is an example of everyone entering at the same level. There are, however, community levels that are implied and centered around a group of information pages. It is easy to make an edit on a page, even anonymously, but to get that edit to stick (not be reverted by another page watcher in the information community), other, more invisible barriers need to be overcome. This may discourage some casual editors, if the information community around a set of pages are very strict about allowing anonymous edits. Other pages may not have that strict of an information community around them, so anonymous edits are stickier. In the end, this gives Wikipedia a mark down in their reputation -- some people have experienced or perceive that Wikipedia has an invisible barrier to entry they can't see or overcome.

Adès' multimedia premiere mines inventive riches out of chaos
By George Loomis
"Creation" by Lewis Bowman,
Last season, his first as music director of the New York Philharmonic, Alan Gilbert introduced a new music series held off the Lincoln Center campus. But he also ensures that the subscription audience in Avery Fisher Hall has an ample dose of contemporary scores.
On Thursday evening it was the British composer Thomas Adès's turn to challenge the audience with the New York premiere of In Seven Days (Concerto for Piano with Moving Image). Among other accomplishments, Adès is the composer of two of the more successful operas of recent years, Powder Her Face and The Tempest, the latter having been led by Gilbert at its American premiere by the Santa Fe Opera in 2006. In remarks to the audience prior to the performance of In Seven Days, Gilbert expressed his pleasure at working with an Adès score again.
One could understand his enthusiasm. In Seven Days embodies the composer's striking ability to communicate by means of such tried-and-true musical ingredients as tonally oriented musical ideas, rich harmonies and vibrant rhythms, while couching them in a language unmistakably of his own day. In Seven Days is a big piece, lasting some 30 minutes, and it tells a big story—nothing less than the creation of the world according to the book of Genesis. Assisting the music in this endeavor are projections by the Israeli video artist Tal Rosner, who is also Adès's civil partner.
In laconic pre-performance remarks, which also included thumbnail characterizations of each of the seven days, Adès likened the projections to ballet, with the obvious difference that, in lieu of human beings, the moving around is done by on-screen objects of Rosner's imagination.
In Seven Days is cast in theme-and-variations form, with the variations grouped in two sets of three each and the theme, in its simplest form, positioned at the end as Day Seven. The structure, though, was not readily apparent at first hearing, at least to this listener, in part because the work unfolds without a break.
Day One, with its initial portrayal of "Chaos," gets the work off to a surprisingly amiable beginning. Rather than some murky, "chaotic" agglomeration of unrelated sounds, Adès starts off with jaunty music for strings, soon to be joined by winds, in triplet rhythm. To the extent chaos is suggested, it is perhaps by deviations from the prevailing rhythmic and tonal underpinning. The entrance of the piano brings enhanced rhythmic complexity and a substantial measure of virtuosity.
Adès, who conducted the 2008 premiere with the London Sinfonietta, here served as piano soloist, with Gilbert conducting, and played brilliantly as the piece went on to behave like a concerto, with solo-orchestra contrasts informed by a wealth of inventive musical ideas and colorful sonorities. Sometimes the music seemed to draw inspiration from the subject matter, as with the piano's tinklings in the upper register suggestive of stars. But other obvious correlations were relatively few.
As for the visual dimension, it did not unduly detract from the music, which no doubt was the intent. The first image was of grayish oceanic waves, which one might have thought better suited to a later day. Other images were likewise representational—a rain forest, a kaleidoscope (for the sun). Still others were abstract.
Rostner has acknowledged In Seven Days as continuing the tradition of the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. As one colleague remarked afterwards, "Purists used to look down on Fantasia. Now it seems to be the rage." In any case, the 30 minutes of In Seven Days went by surprisingly quickly, a circumstance attributable mainly to the quality of Adès's music, but the visual dimension may have been a factor too.
Thomas Hampson
Before intermission Thomas Hampson offered an eloquent account of Mahler's Kindertotenlieder, part of the baritone's special attention to Mahler in the dual anniversary years of 2010-11. These songs, settings of five poems by Friedrich Rückert written (as were more than 400 others) as an outlet for the grief occasioned by the death of his two children from scarlet fever, are obviously works of uncommon seriousness and not for overt vocal display.
But Hampson's voice, while rising to searing climaxes, sounded unusually subdued and even plain, lacking its customary resonance. And he is not the first singer for whom the final song, In diesem Wetter, seemed to lie a bit low, although he caught its drama and Gilbert's sensitive account of the postlude was consistent with the high level of the orchestral performance overall.
To open the concert, Gilbert led a genteel and fleet performance of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550.

Artisanal Irish Whiskey from County Wicklow joins Vision Wines & Spirits growing Independent spirits portfolio
REDCROSS, CO WICKLOW, Ireland
(8/19/2019)- Barr an Uisce has reached an agreement with Vision Wine & Spirits, LLC to import their Irish Whiskey portfolio into the US marketplace. This announcement coincides with an announcement of the doubling of Barr an Uisce's portfolio of offerings in its worldwide markets. In 2017, Barr an Uisce was ranked #1 in a New York Times blind tasting of Irish whiskies.
"We are delighted to announce that Vision Wine and Spirits has been appointed the sole US importer for Barr an Uisce Irish Whiskeys. This partnership provides a huge opportunity for Barr an Uisce to even further expand its availability to the discerning whiskey drinkers of the US", says Jason Stubbs, Managing Director for Barr an Uisce.
"We are privileged to add the award-winning Bar an Uisce offerings to our authentic and storied collection" says D. Dean Williams, President of Vision Wine & Spirits. "We look forward to sharing their incredible new releases with our US distributor partners in the coming months".
Barr an Uisce is a small batch craft whiskey company hailing from County Wicklow in Ireland. Launched just over two years ago, their fine craft whiskeys are now available in 14 countries and in over 20 US states. They have two whiskeys in the market – Barr an Uisce 1803 which is a ten-year-old single malt and Barr an Uisce Wicklow Rare – a signature blend of four-year-old grain and ten-year-old single malt. In early 2019, Barr an Uisce looks forward to launching two new whiskey expressions with the help of Vision Wine and Spirits. These expressions include Barr an Uisce 16-year-old single malt and Barr an Uisce Wicklow Hills Blend, bringing the product portfolio to four.
Vision Wine & Spirits, LLC is a division of Martignetti Companies, the 7th largest distributor in the United States, and an independent family-owned business since 1908. Vision will be announcing new additions to their growing portfolio in 2019.

The Latest: Spain tops Senegal reaches quarters at World Cup
By Associated Press September 26, 2018 3:51 pm
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Spain (AP) — The Latest on the Women's World Cup quarterfinal qualifier (all times local):
Spain ended Senegal's incredible run at the Women's Basketball World Cup with a 63-48 victory in the quarterfinal qualifier on Wednesday night.
In front of a packed arena, the host nation struggled in the early going and the game was tied at 34 at the half. Behind Astou Ndour's 14 points, Spain was able to slowly pull away in the second half. Anna Cruz added 11 points and five rebounds for Spain, which will face Canada in the quarterfinals.
Oumoul Thiam scored 10 points to lead Senegal, which advanced this far for the first time in the country's history.
The other quarterfinal games are U.S.-Nigeria, Australia-Canada and Belgium-France.
Sandrine Gruda scored 20 points and Endene Miyem added 18 to help France beat Turkey 78-61 in the quarterfinal qualifier of the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup.
France blew a 10-point halftime lead in the final preliminary-round game against Canada on Tuesday that forced them to play in the qualifier. Gruda scored the first 10 points as France got off to a fast start and jumped out to an 11-point halftime lead and didn't let Turkey get closer than eight the rest of the way.
"First all the most important thing was to get the win to keep playing" said Gruda, who made nine of her 10 shots. "It's very important for us to bring us confidence. To win like that we have all the resources to beat the next one."
France will face Belgium next.
Quanitra Hollingsworth scored 19 points to lead Turkey.
Elo Edeferioka hit two free throws with 3.2 seconds left after getting an offensive rebound to lift Nigeria to a 57-56 win over Greece and become the first African team to reach the quarterfinals of the Women's Basketball World Cup.
Next up for Nigeria is the United States.
Trailing 56-55, Promise Amukamara missed a floater in the lane. Edeferioka corralled the rebound and was fouled by Maria Fasoula. Edeferioka, who hadn't scored all game, calmly sank the two free throws.
Greece called its final timeout to advance the basketball, but couldn't get the ball inbounds and Nigeria took over.
Ezinne Kalu was fouled with just under 2 seconds left and she missed both of her free-throw attempts, but Greece couldn't get off a last-second heave.
Amukamara scored 13 points to lead Nigeria and Evelyn Akhator added 12. Evanthia Maltsi scored 10 to lead Greece, which advanced further than ever before.
China is the first team through to the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup from the qualifying round after an 87-81 victory over Japan.
Shao Ting and Yang Liwel each scored 16 points to lead China to the win. Next up is a meeting with Australia.
China was able to use its size and strong outside shooting to beat Japan. China hit nine 3-pointers, including four by Yang.
Japan trailed by nine with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter before cutting its deficit to two on Nako Motohashi's layup with 1:27 left. Yueru Li then answered with a basket to make it a two-possession game and Japan couldn't get any closer.
Motohashi scored 25 points to lead Japan.
Win or go home, that's what at stake in the quarterfinal qualifier round.
Four games are on the schedule, with Japan against China starting the competition. Nigeria will then play Greece, France faces Turkey and Spain meets Senegal.
The two Asian nations are no strangers, having faced off many times in recent years. Japan has had the better of the rivalry lately by winning the past three Asia Cups. The winner gets Australia in the next round.
Nigeria is the biggest surprise of the tournament after winning its first and second games in its brief World Cup history. The African nation will try to continue its hot streak against Greece and ageless wonder Evina Maltsi. Greece also is trying to make history by advancing to its first quarterfinal round. The winner of the game gets the U.S.
France and Turkey are no strangers to each other. The French will need to find a way to recover from a deflating loss to Canada, which would have given them a bye into the quarterfinals. Turkey has looked off its game this tournament and would love to right itself against France. The winner gets Belgium.
Spain might have been the second-biggest surprise after losing its group on a last-second layup. The host nation now must beat Senegal, which made it out of the preliminary round for the first time. The one positive for the Spaniards is that by losing to Belgium, they avoid potentially meeting the U.S. until the final. The winner gets Canada.

Welcome to our third issue of The Growth Weekly. We're excited to bring you the most interesting growth content on the web this week. Enjoy reading!
You've probably heard plenty of people champion the ideas of "growth" and "growth hacking". But we've reached a point where companies are so focused on that idea of "growth" that it's lost all meaning, so we have to ask: Is growth hacking played out?
Most of those people who hate funnels tend to have one thing in common: they don't go for new leads. They go for existing customers — and they go for delighting them. Turn your funnel upside down.
Snapchat has an age limit. But it isn't set by asking you for your birthday. It is set through an interface that is so confusing you need to be young to get it.
The true brilliance of the conversational chatbot interface is that it can reside anywhere, not just on your phone. Someday, we will converse by text and voice with our cars, our homes, and anything else we own.
Solar power is on pace for the first time this year to contribute more new electricity to the grid than will any other form of energy. The cost of electricity from large-scale solar installations now is comparable to and sometimes cheaper than natural gas-fired power.
Things have changed with the way big business deals with Africa. Previously a destination for CSR-related activities such as building schools and planting trees, the continent is now very much the investment destination of choice, especially for US tech giants.
China has been on a mission to build the world's biggest city by combining a number of large cities into one giant megacity. By 2030, China hopes to unite into an all-powerful megacity with an economic output around $2 trillion and more than 60 million inhabitants.
A new paradigm of economic cooperation is underway – a digital democratization of business. "The DAO" is a corporation whose bylaws are written entirely in code. It, as of the time of writing, controls more than $100 million in assets. Investment decisions are made autonomously.
This reimagined wheelbarrow called the Hippo Water Roller is used to gather water in developing countries. It was designed by two South Africans who grew up in rural areas. How small innovations can change the life of millions.
Enjoy your day. Keep growing.

Just a half-century ago, very little was known about the genetic factors that contribute to human disease.
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick described the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the chemical compound that contains the genetic instructions for building, running and maintaining living organisms.
Methods to determine the order, or sequence, of the chemical letters in DNA were developed in the mid-1970s.
In 1990, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Energy joined with international partners in a quest to sequence all 3 billion letters, or base pairs, in the human genome, which is the complete set of DNA in the human body. This concerted, public effort was the Human Genome Project.
The Human Genome Project's goal was to provide researchers with powerful tools to understand the genetic factors in human disease, paving the way for new strategies for their diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
From the start, the Human Genome Project supported an Ethical, Legal and Social Implications research program to address the many complex issues that might arise from this science.
All data generated by the Human Genome Project were made freely and rapidly available on the Internet, serving to accelerate the pace of medical discovery around the globe.
The Human Genome project spurred a revolution in biotechnology innovation around the world and played a key role in making the U.S. the global leader in the new biotechnology sector.
In April 2003, researchers successfully completed the Human Genome Project, under budget and more than two years ahead of schedule.
The Human Genome Project has already fueled the discovery of more than 1,800 disease genes.
As a result of the Human Genome Project, today's researchers can find a gene suspected of causing an inherited disease in a matter of days, rather than the years it took before the genome sequence was in hand.
There are now more than 2,000 genetic tests for human conditions. These tests enable patients to learn their genetic risks for disease and also help healthcare professionals to diagnose disease.
At least 350 biotechnology-based products resulting from the Human Genome Project are currently in clinical trials.
Having the complete sequence of the human genome is similar to having all the pages of a manual needed to make the human body. The challenge now is to determine how to read the contents of these pages and understand how all of these many, complex parts work together in human health and disease.
One major step toward such comprehensive understanding was the development in 2005 of the HapMap (http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), which is a catalog of common genetic variation, or haplotypes, in the human genome. In 2010, the third phase of the HapMap project was published, with data from 11 global populations, the largest survey of human genetic variation performed to date. HapMap data have accelerated the search for genes involved in common human diseases, and have already yielded impressive results in finding genetic factors involved in conditions ranging from age-related blindness to obesity.
The tools created through the Human Genome Project continue to underlie efforts to characterize the genomes of important organisms used extensively in biomedical research, including fruit flies, roundworms, and mice.
NIH's Ethical, Legal and Social Implications program has become a model for other research efforts seeking to address ethical issues in a proactive manner (http://www.genome.gov/10001618).
With the drastic decline in the cost of sequencing whole exomes or genomes, groundbreaking comparative genomic studies are now identifiying the causes of rare diseases such as Kabuki and Miller syndromes.
Much work still remains to be done. Despite many important genetic discoveries, the genetics of complex diseases such as heart disease are still far from clear.
Pharmacogenomics is a field that looks at how genetic variation affects an individual's response to a drug. Pharmacogenomic tests can already identify whether or not a breast cancer patient will respond to the drug Herceptin, whether an AIDS patient should take the drug Abacavir, or what the correct dose of the blood-thinner Warfarin should be.
An ambitious new initiative, The Cancer Genome Atlas (http://cancergenome.nih.gov/), aims to identify all the genetic abnormalities seen in 50 major types of cancer.
Based on a deeper understanding of disease at the genomic level, we will see a whole new generation of targeted interventions, many of which will be drugs that are much more effective and cause fewer side effects than those available today.
NIH-supported access to high-throughput screening of small molecule libraries will provide academic researchers with powerful new research probes to explore the hundreds of thousands of proteins believed to be encoded by the approximately 25,000 genes in the human genome, and will provide innovative techniques to spur development of new, more effective, types of drugs.
NIH is striving to cut the cost of sequencing an individual's genome to $1,000 or less. Having one's complete genome sequence will make it easier to diagnose, manage and treat many diseases.
Individualized analysis based on each person's genome will lead to a powerful form of preventive, personalized and preemptive medicine. By tailoring recommendations to each person's DNA, health care professionals will be able to work with individuals to focus efforts on the specific strategies — from diet to high-tech medical surveillance — that are most likely to maintain health for that particular individual.
The increasing ability to connect DNA variation with non-medical conditions, such as intelligence and personality traits, will challenge society, making the role of ethical, legal and social implications research more important than ever.

D.C.'s first confirmed coronavirus patient is out of the hospital
Christ Church, Georgetown on O Street NW, where Tim Cole is rector.
WASHINGTON - D.C.'s first confirmed coronavirus patient is out of the hospital and recovering at home, a spokesman for his church says.
Christ Church, Georgetown disclosed that Rector Tim Cole tested positive for coronavirus earlier this month, making him the first person in the District known to have the disease.
As of Friday, Cole is feeling much better.
"The Rector was released from Georgetown Hospital on Friday evening,: a spokesman for the church tells Fox 5. "He is currently at home resting under a two week self quarantine."
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered all church patrons to undergo self-quarantine after Cole's diagnosis.
There are now 342 reported coronavirus cases in the District as of Saturday night.

50 Cent Speaks On Long Island House Fire
By smokey fontaine
Rapper 50 Cent is finally opening up about the fire that destroyed his multimillion-dollar Long Island home in May.
In a new interview with TV One Access correspondent Quddus, 50 Cent said his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, was ordered to leave his Long Island home just days before the blaze broke out.
"The courts told her she had to leave." 50 said of Tompkins. "It's kind of more like, 'If I can't have you, you can't have it.'"
"So, you figure she lit it up?" Quddus asked, referring to the house catching fire.
"Well, I don't want to say that… don't try to make me say something I don't want to say," 50 replied. "But, the circumstances to it might seem that way."

Incisors (from Latin incidere, "to cut") are the first kind of tooth in heterodont mammals. They are located in the premaxilla.
In many herbivorous or omnivorous mammals, such as the human and the horse, they are adapted for shearing sharply. In cats, the incisors are small and do not do much; biting off meat is done with the canines and the carnassials. In elephants, the upper incisors are modified into curved tusks, just as is the case with Narwhals, where normally one of them develops into a straight and twisted tusk. The incisors of rodents grow throughout life and are worn by gnawing.
Among other animals, some other primates, cats and horses have twelve. The rodents have four. Rabbits and hares (lagomorphs) were once considered rodents, but are distinguished by having eight--1 small pair, called "peg teeth" is directly behind the most anterior pair.
The rodent incisor is one of the evolutionary adaptations that make rodents such a successful group. There are two incisors in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. The incisors are separated from the molars by a diastema region, an area without any teeth. The tissue of the incisor is regenerated from the apical end and constantly wears down at the distal tip. The ever-growing incisor can be subdivided into two areas, the crown analogue and the root analogue.
The crown analogue is the labial half of the incisor. It is characterized by an enlarged cervical loop at the apical end. The cervical loop is the epithelial stem cell niche. The epithelial progeny of the crown analogue's cervical loop differentiates into ameloblasts that produce enamel.
The root analogue is the lingual half of the incisor. It's cervical loop is much smaller and the epithelium does not differentiate into ameloblasts, but instead forms a root sheath and fragments into epithelial cell rests of Malassez typical of root epithelium. The root analogue is covered in dentin and cementum like a normal root.

I remember the moment it all changed for me, when I realized that life is too short to live small and that we each have a unique skill we were meant to share with the world.
Should I Go to Business School?
Do you know as Millennials we are the most educated generation? There are about 75 million of us, and 63% have a Bachelor's degree.* That's 47 million people with college degrees. That means in the US we have more millennials with college degrees, than we do people below the poverty line (43 million in US live below that line). Pretty cool progress, huh? Contrast that with this stat, 51% of Millennials say they want to own a business in the next 5 years. Sooo a cool 38 million more business owners coming our way. Are you one of those?
Why Build It When You Can Borrow It?
It's a noisy and crowded world. But you have an idea that is going to break through. You're a creative, an inspirer, a doer on a mission to share your why with the world. You have the website, you obviously have the skills, your mom LOVES the ideas and your business cards are on point. The only problem? You open the doors, send out your mass mailing announcement and… crickets. All the people who said they loved your idea just may love it, but not enough to pay for it.
With Nasty Gal declaring Chapter 11 Bankruptcy this week, it made me realize how the shiny bow is often on the gnarliest of presents. Don't let the veneer fool you, starting a business ain't for sissies.
You have product, you want to sell said product, but you need to get your incredible product noticed in order to sell it. That's marketing 101, right? Here's the problem, marketing is crowded, noisy and confusing. So how do you quiet the noise and trumpet your ideas like a supersonic blast? How do your blog posts and paid endorsements not drown in the sea of sameness? We are going to talk about one marketing industry vet's ideas for how to jumpstart marketing right off the OR table.

Love's Journey Home
When Gabi and Jay first fell passionately in love,
they lived on different continents.
Separated for nine years by circumstances and distance,
they eventually found a way to marry.
Over three decades though, alcoholism tore them apart, and Gabi moved on.
Then a fatal diagnosis forced them both to make decisions.
Without love, Jay's final journey would be lonely and hard,
and Gabi knew she had to return to care for him.
But she never expected to fall in love again.
This moving memoir doesn't shy away from the realities of life,
but the relationship between these two lovers,
tested by separations, alcoholism,
and to its ultimate limit by pancreatic cancer, proves that love—and a sense of humor—
can conquer anything, even death.
Praise for Love's Journey Home'
BOOKLIFE -a division of Publisher's Weekly
A beautifully told true-life love story, facing addiction and death with candor and wisdom. Many readers will connect with Coatsworth's story of building a family and navigating single motherhood, remarriage, divorce, and the unthinkable. She shares her story with candor, wisdom, and heart, and lays bare her feelings about facing those challenges with rare vulnerability.
Peggy Knickerbocker
author of Love Later On
I just loved this book! This is a wonderful memoir…the way the author describes love—she did a stunning job.
Margaret Rumford
author of The Life and Times of a Resident Alien
A compelling and honest memoir covering the history of a marriage where passionate love is lost and found. Each character comes alive on the page, demanding respect and sympathy, with scenes that evoke both laughter and tears.
Sonia Antaki
author of the Red Dove trilogy
What a wonderful book! Gabi Coatsworth brings this tale of love and loss--and love again--to life. Reading it, I felt as if I was right there in the room, experiencing all the sorrow and sweetness, the heartbreak and joy, of real, lasting love.
Lori Stewart
author of Travels With J.J. and Ceca Foundation's honored caregiver stories
Love's Journey Home is a moving love story, a memoir of a marriage, and a tribute to a caregiver and her patient, who rediscover the depth of their love as the hour of final separation approaches.
Readers' guide / Book club questions
I hope these questions provide food for thought for you and/or your book club.
What surprised you most about the book as you were reading it?
Gabi and Jay met in the 1970s. Do you think the social upheavals of the time contributed to their instant attraction?
What effect do you think the frequent separations had on Gabi and Jay's romance? Does absence make the heart grow fonder?
Letters formed a huge part of the way Jay and Gabi really got to know each other though they were thousands of miles apart. Have you ever written a love letter? Do you have any love letters, either of your own or of an older generation? Do you wish you had?
Gabi left England in 1979, expecting to be away for six months. Would you like to do something similar?
How do you think the losses in Gabi's life affected her emotional journey?
What could she have done differently to improve the marriage? What would you have done?
Many people have experienced cancer and or alcoholism in their life, either directly or via people they know. If you have, how did that affect your reaction to the book?
Do you believe that this book has a happy ending after all, or is it tragic?
What about this book has stayed with you?
Thanks for reading the book!

Two protons (green), after "tunneling'' through their repulsive electrostatic barrier and undergoing weak and strong interactions, fuse together to produce a deuteron (the lightest nucleus) (yellow), a positron, and a neutrino.
The fusion of two protons initiates the primary nuclear cycle that powers the Sun. The rate of this low-energy, weak-interaction fusion is too small to be measured in the laboratory. While nuclear model predictions for this reaction are impressive, calculations without models would reduce uncertainties and offer a more accurate view of proton-proton fusion and related processes. Using a technique called lattice quantum chromodynamics, scientists performed the first successful model-independent calculation of the proton-proton fusion rate directly from the fundamental dynamics of quarks and gluons (the building blocks of protons and nuclei).
This work paves the way to calculate the rate of proton-proton fusion, and similar nuclear reactions of astrophysical importance, with new levels of precision.
The Nuclear Physics with Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration (NPLQCD), under the umbrella of the U.S. Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration, performed the first model-independent calculation of the rate for proton-proton fusion directly from the dynamics of quarks and gluons using numerical techniques. The rate of this process is too small to be measured in the laboratory today for two reasons: the electrostatic repulsion between the low-energy protons and the small weak interaction rates. The team achieved the theoretical prediction for this process through calculations in which electrostatic repulsion was removed and the weak interaction rates were increased to provide access to the critical elements of the process. These were then restored using systematic approximations to the underlying physical theory (effective field theory techniques) in making the prediction for the reaction rate. The first lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of the strength of the weak transition between the triton and helium-3 (which carry significant information of spin interactions in nuclear medium) was also performed in this work and found to be consistent with experimental measurements. These calculations used lattice quantum chromodynamics, a technique in which space-time is represented by a finite grid of points, and the quantum fields describing the quarks and gluons are defined on these points and the links between them, respectively. This method provides an evaluation of the quantum chromodynamics path integral, through Monte Carlo sampling of the quantum mechanical motion of the quarks and gluons (the subatomic particles that bind the quarks together). This method is completely controlled and can be systematically improved and refined by reducing the physical distance between the grid points, by increasing the volume of space-time, and by increasing the sampling of the path integral. This work used configurations ("snapshots" of the quantum-mechanical vacuum) generated using the Chroma software suite developed within DOE's Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing funded U.S. Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration. Existing algorithms and code for forming nuclear correlation functions in lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations and new algorithms including the interactions of quarks with external probes, developed within NPLQCD, were used to calculate the key quantities that determine the rate for proton-proton fusion. The results of these calculations were connected to nature using effective field theory techniques. Understanding gained in NPLQCD's calculations of the thermal neutron capture process n+p→d+γ was used in making this connection. With increased computational resources, these calculations can be systematically refined to provide an uncertainty in the rate for proton-proton fusion, and similar nuclear reactions, which is significantly smaller than is possible with other techniques. This breakthrough was made possible by algorithmic developments and high-performance supercomputing resources.
This work was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science; National Science Foundation; and the Kavli Institute.


Hello and Happy Weekend. We're rounding down a wonderful Winter Break and I thought I'd share a little extra post about eating out in Stockholm with kids. Since vacation often means eating out, visitors or meeting others, I've been thinking about this: restaurants and kids.
As a family, we have a broad list of styles and restaurants we like to visit (here), but, when it comes to easy, everyday places to meet to eat friends with kids and a full spectrum of preferences or dining styles, I realize we do have several places that are very easy to return to, again and again. Continue below for 5 family, friendly Stockholm restaurants with easy, kid-friendly, meals with both atmosphere and menus that will please both kids and adults.
Check out the exhibits or just stop in to eat. This is a very popular place, with one of the best views in the city of Stockholm, and a Bistro with something for everyone. The space is open, airy, and the Swedish and International kitchen has a lot to choose from: baked goods, sandwiches and salads to warm meals with a glass of wine — warm dishes are made right in from of you: items like grilled fish and meat with frest vegetables — including a brunch on the weekend.
2. E.A.T (at MOOD). MOOD Gallerian is Stockholm's newest shopping area with great small boutiques and many restaurants set in an urban strolling style atmosphere. There are actually several choices here, depending on your palette and group: we love Asian, European Food at E.A.T (they had high chairs) and Spanish tapas at Boqueria with bigger kids. Enjoy a stroll here, before making a decision and check these locations and menus for yourself.
3. Urban Deli: Urban Deli now has two locations in Stockholm's creative, bohemian, Sodermalm, Nytorget, or a second location, just outside of the city, in Sickla. Both have a well-stocked deli with dry-goods, baked-goods, groceries and a deli for take out, as well as a great restaurant serving breakfast through dinner. Here, you will find classic Swedish dishes, meats and fish, as well as grilled food.
4. Vapiano Italian food, made to taste while you wait and watch. This is a kid pleaser and a very easy place to meet a group. I think our kids like the "event" of this restaurant and choosing their food and ingredients, while watching it get made right in front of their eyes. The menu is very straight forward but fresh with pizzas, pasta and salads.
5. Texas Longhorn. I typically don't try to re-create "foods from home" but, recently, on recommendation from so very, many people, I've come to understand the popularity of this restaurant: American-style hamburgers (or your can replace the hamburgers with chicken, you prefer) and salads — they even have baskets of onion rings that look and taste like the real deal.
If you'd like a broader list, last year, I shared a longer list "Where to Eat with Kids." I love to hear from you, when you come to visit Stockholm and want you to find the best in our city!

James St has staked a claim as Brisbane's, and Australia's, foremost retail and lifestyle precinct.
Having emerged organically from its inner-city industrial roots, the street and surrounding area has evolved into a high energy urban retail pocket.
The precinct features a curated mix of over 130 specialty stores, including an impressive range of design showrooms and fashion boutiques, award-winning restaurants and cafes, in addition to art galleries, design havens and grooming emporiums. Playing home to some of Australia's favourite designers, the precinct attracts those seeking a design-forward retail experience in a leafy outdoor urban setting.
James St combines cultural awareness and trade with a relaxed Queensland spirit. With a history of staging unique and creative events that promote cultural and community discourse, the James Street Initiative invites the public to escape the perpetual same-ness of shopping malls and re-think of retail and public spaces as places for community, creatives and business to come together.
The James Street Initiative Pty Ltd (JSI) is a privately funded, non-profit business that was formed in June 2010 by a group of property stakeholders who saw potential in transforming a light-industrial area into an urban retail hub. JSI was established to promote and strengthen the James St brand, and to lift the profile and trade of the retailers residing within the stakeholder properties..
Operating as the communications, event and public relations office for the properties and retailers that reside within the stakeholder premises, JSI has implemented a range of tactics to achieve inherent goals and objectives for the properties within the stakeholder remit.
Opportunities for businesses external to the JSI property stakeholder groups are available in the form of the James Street Initiative 'Non-tenant Program'. Please contact our office at info@jamesst.com.au if you would like to find out more about the opportunities available to external retailers.

Central vacuum systems are designed to remove dirt and debris from waste from silo of material handling, sending dirt particles through tubing installed inside the walls to a collection container in a remote utility space.
The power unit is a permanent fixture, typically installed in a basement, garage, or storage room, along with the collection container. Inlets are installed in walls throughout the building that attach to power hoses and other central vacuum accessories to remove dust, particles, and small debris from interior rooms.
Most power hoses typically have a power switch located on the handle.
