Home Campsites Reykjavík Reykjavik Sightseeing: Hallgrímskirkja Church
With all the great flight deals and special promotions we have nowadays, you can easily travel to Reykjavik from anywhere around the globe. As you already may know, Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. But that's not the only important thing to know. There is plenty to see and do in Reykjavik. Today we will learn all about the Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavik's main church, and Iceland most impressive cathedral. Let's get started!
If you type "Reykjavik" into Google and check for images, I bet that around 80-90% of the pictures are related to the Hallgrímskirkja. They can either be of the church itself or the stunning views of the city from its bell tower. You can't really avoid this monument, even if you wanted to. It stands right in the city center, and it serves as a reference point for anyone making their way around town. The Hallgrímskirkja is a really lovely cathedral and a must-see during your trip. Let's look at why.
Hallgrímskirkja – The History and Background of its Name
While the church's name may sound complicated, it's actually rather simple. It's just a compound of the words of "Hallgrímur" and "kirkja". Kirkja translates to "church" so Hallgrímskirkja means the Church of Hallgrimur.
Hallgrimur Pétursson was a prominent Icelandic Lutheran priest and poet. One of his finest works was the "Passion Hymns". The primary purpose of these hymns was to serve as songs or hymns for the observance of Lent. These hymns are among the most important poetry related to religion in the world. And so, the main cathedral in Reykjavik was named after him this vital figure in Icelandic theology and religious history.
This magnificent building belongs to the Lutheran church of Iceland. The Evangelical Lutheran Church also has the nickname of "the national church". This branch of Christianity is the island's official religions. It hasn't always been so. Iceland was once a pagan nation, and Christianity arrived with the Danish crown in 1,000 AD.
Hallgrímskirkja – The Church's Construction
As you get closer to the church, your eyes get wider by the minute. The building may look impressive in most pictures, but it is even more impressive when you visit it.
It's hard not to feel curious about its architectural style as it certainly looks unlike anything you have seen before. The 73-meter (244-foot) tall building is the largest church in Iceland. It's also one of the tallest structures in the country. Due to the lack of trees in Iceland and no real stone masonry tradition, the building is made of concrete. But just because the cathedral uses plain, grey concrete doesn't mean that it's unimaginative, boring or unelaborate! This cathedral is anything but ordinary.
You'll see a lot of similarities between Hallgrímskirkja church and the hexagonal basalt columns of Reynisfjara beach or Svartifoss waterfall. Its architect, Guðjón Samuel, found his inspiration in nature and the landscapes he grew up surrounded by. Lava fields in Iceland are ubiquitous, they flow like rivers and can create magnificent columns. Such columns are the result of the pressure of the geothermal energy that clashes beneath the island. It's these columns that inspired the design of Hallgrímskirkja.
Construction started in 1945 and finished in 1986. Workers spent 40 years building this beautiful spot in the city center for all to enjoy.
Hallgrímskirkja – The Interior of the Temple
This Icelandic place of worship is not only superb on the outside, but it is also extraordinary on the inside. The first thing you will notice is its verticality, the simplicity of its lines, the lack of decoration and its striking sobriety. Sometimes in life, the simple things are the most extraordinary.
This solemn building may be simple, but it's not dark or gloomy at all. Light comes in through its stained glass windows, which are located along the walls of the apse. This area hosts a giant organ with 15-meters (40-foot) high tubes. Organists from around the world come to Reykjavik and take pleasure in playing it. Its powerful sound will make you shiver. It's no wonder, as the organ has 5,275 tubes whose sound fill every corner of this holy place.
Hallgrímskirkja – Activities and Sightseeing
The Hallgrimskirkja is not only the main church of Iceland, but it is also an open window and observation deck to the capital city of the Nordic nation. Even if you're not very interested in religious buildings, still pay it a visit. Otherwise, you'll miss one of the most stunning panoramic views of Reykjavik from its bell tower.
From these heights, you'll discover how colorful Reykjavik is. Enjoy the thousands of red, yellow, blue and green roofs spread all across the city. And right at the bottom, the bay and its snowy peaks.
You can visit the Hallgrimskirkja church from 9:00-17:00h and its bell tower from 9:00-16:30h. Entrance to the temple is free of charge, but if you plan to head up to the bell tower, then it will cost 900 ISK for adults and 100 ISK for kids.
In addition, many choral and organ concerts, art events and expositions take place here during the summertime. You can attend an organ concert every Wednesday at noon, on Saturdays at 12:00 and Sundays at 17:00.
Lastly, don't forget to take a picture with Leif Erikson. His statue stands right in front of the cathedral. He was, according to the Sagas, the first European to discover the American continent in the 1000 B.C. That's nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus set foot on American soil. This statue was a gift from the United States to Iceland to commemorate the Icelandic parliament, the first parliament in the world.
Now you know. There's plenty to see, do and discover in this emblematic building. Take a stroll to the Austurvöllur plaza, where many Icelanders come to meet and chat. It is one of the busiest streets of the city, and one with the best views! Add the Hallgrímskirkja temple to your "To Do List". You're sure to love it!

Q: Apply diff, using a given strategy Question
I have:

*

*A Git Repository

*A Patch (.diff) with several conflicts

I would like to apply the patch using a strategy (like theirs), similar to git merge -s. Can this be achieved using git and/or patch?
EDIT
The original question wasn't very clear of what I'm trying to do. I have many merge conflicts from patch --merge, and I'd like to resolve them the same way
(similar to git merge --strategy ...)
Related

*

*Resolve Git merge conflicts in favor of their changes during a pull

*How do you take a git diff file, and apply it to a local branch that is a copy of the same repository?

A: The patches listed on that page somehow mention what commit they should be applied on :

*

*three of them mention they apply to version 6.2, 6.1 or 6.0,

*the other ones mention a commit hash in their name.

So, to apply the suggestion "create a branch and merge" (suggested by @eftshift0 or @Ôrel) :
git checkout -b with-patch <target commit: tag or has>
git apply <patch>
git commit

then switch back to your own branch, and use either merge or cherry-pick :
git checkout my-branch

git merge with-patch
# or
git cherry-pick with-patch

A: Find the base revision for the patch and apply it there. There should be no conflicts, right?
git checkout -b temp the-base-revision
git apply the-diff-file
git commit-m 'the patch' -a

Then feel free to cherry-pifk, which should give you access to tbe options you are looking for.
git checkout blahblah # where I really wamt to apply it
git cherry-pick --someOption tenp

That should work.

The Problem with the World's First Covid-19 Vaccine Approved by Russia
Russia has become the first country to approve a vaccine for the new coronavirus. However, experts say the vaccine has not completed all rounds of clinical trials.
As scientists across the world race to be the first to develop a vaccine that will put the coronavirus pandemic to an end, Russia, it seems, has already claimed victory.
A Russian healthcare regulator has become the first in the world to approve a vaccine for Covid-19, President Vladimir Putin said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, adding that the vaccine had proven efficient, and been administered to one of his own daughters.
Russia becomes first country to approve a COVID-19 vaccine, says Putin https://t.co/jNm8ekZbgX pic.twitter.com/vranYeECM2
— Reuters (@Reuters) August 11, 2020
Russia has named the vaccine "Sputnik V" for foreign markets, a reference to the world's first satellite.
Russia wants to return to becoming a pioneer, with the first official Coronavirus vaccine named Sputnik V.
Sputnik of course was the name of the first ever artificial satellite launched in 1957. It literally means 'Companion' in Russian.https://t.co/YjrxsA8HXD
— Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj) August 11, 2020
The announcement, however, has been met with a reserved cheer, as many experts have expressed their doubts over the testing process. The vaccine, these experts say, has still not completed all rounds of clinical trials, which are necessary to ensure that the virus is actually safe and effective — and also usually take months to compete.
The New York Times reported that the World Health Organisation has also warned Russia against straying from the usual methods of testing. The report says that the government also sidestepped questions about possible side effects, including the possibility that those inoculated might be more vulnerable to severe forms of Covid-19.

— The New York Times (@nytimes) August 11, 2020
A local association of multinational pharmaceutical companies has also warned against the widespread use of the vaccine. "… less than 100 people had officially received the inoculation against the epidemic by early August and its widespread use could be dangerous," the Association of Clinical Trials Organizations said in a letter sent to Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko, according to a Bloomberg report.

— JP Czark 🐬 (@dumidyeypee) August 11, 2020
Authorities in Russia, however, seem ready to start handing out the coronavirus vaccine, with a massive inoculation campaign set to kick off in October. The government has said healthcare workers and teachers will be the first to receive a dose.
"I know that it works quite effectively, forms strong immunity, and I repeat, it has passed all the needed checks," Putin said on Tuesday, adding that this was a "very important step for the world". The country's health minister, meanwhile, said that the clinical trials will continue even as production gets underway.
Russian officials have said that large-scale production of the vaccine will start in September, and mass vaccination may begin as early as October https://t.co/JhYiyhi9yu
— The London Economic (@LondonEconomic) August 11, 2020
Clinical trials for the vaccine started on June 18 on 38 patients, all of whom showed signs of immunity and were released by July 20, a report said, well ahead of the deadlines set by other countries that are rushing to develop a vaccine.
Despite the criticism, the Russian vaccine has generated some international support, with Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte indicating that he would be ready to get himself injected with it "in public".
Kirill Dmitriev, head of the country's RDIF sovereign wealth fund, said Russia had already received requests from more than 20 countries for 1 billion doses of its newly-registered COVID-19 vaccine.
Russia is poised to allow a vaccine developed by Moscow's Gamaleya Institute for civilian use even before clinical trials are completed, triggering safety warnings from pharmaceutical companies.https://t.co/nXJ3vzz0BA
— Claire Jiao (@ClaireJiao) August 11, 2020
Whether the vaccine eventually works or not remains to be seen. Until then it's probably best that, for now, we continue to stay at home and wash our hands.

This was not unique to Sweden. Warming baptismal water would have been very unusual in England as well.
Remember that 16th century medical understanding of the body was very different than how we understand it today. Cold baptismal water may not have been considered a potentially mortal threat to the health of an infant and may have contributed to some infants becoming fatally ill. But there were many, many other factors affecting the high infant mortality rates.

The Last Lesson – CBSE Class 12 – Explanation and Answers
The Last Lesson
by Alphonse Daudet
Complete explanation and answers for the prose 'The Last Lesson' included in the CBSE Class 12 English book 'Flamingo'.
Thanks to the never-ending wars, and pointless political ambitions of monarchs, Europe's political map changed with astounding frequency since the World War I. The flux continues even today, despite the realization that such wars are extremely ruinous. Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) was a French story writer of great renown. In this story, he captures the grief and emotions of a French village school in an area that has fallen to the advancing Prussian (German) army. The Prussian commanders order German to be the medium of instructions ion the school which had a dedicated French teacher and pupils whose mother tongue was French. The trauma of the teacher and the pupils was palpable.
Hamel was the French teacher of the school. He took his teaching quite seriously. He had a pupil by the name Franz, who didn't have his heart in the lessons. Instead, he enjoyed wandering around in the nearby woods. No wonder, he loathed his home tasks and rarely came prepared to the class. That day, his teacher had asked the students to come prepared with 'participles', and the truant Franz was ill prepared to face his teacher, Hamel. On that day, the woods and the chirping birds beckoned Franz to their midst, but he had to attend the dreary class.
On his way to school, Franz saw a group of villagers crowded around the Bulletin Board, stretching their necks to reads a freshly-pinned news bulletin. The Bulletin Board had brought only depressing news in the last two years, of setbacks in the battle front, and defeats. The villagers had become inured to such gloomy tidings.
The boy was curious to see what else bad news had come then. The village blacksmith and the watchman were there. They mockingly asked the boy not to hurry to school. There was a sense of resignation in their voice. Nevertheless, Franz dashed off to the school.
But, the school appeared to be eerily quiet. A pall of silence had descended on the boisterous students who normally create quite a buzz on normal days. Through the window, he could see his friends sitting inside lifelessly. Hamel was pacing up and down the class room with his usual iron ruler tucked in his arm. Although Franz had wanted to sneak in unnoticed, he had to enter the class in the full view of his teacher and the other fellow students. It was so embarrassing for him to walk in late.
Quite uncharacteristically, Hamel appeared subdued and circumspect. The fury and fire in his voice was gone. He asked Franz to take his seat. When his fearful mind regained its composure, he found that his teacher was attired in his formal dress – a green court, frilled shirt and the embroidered silk cap. It took Franz by surprise as his teacher didn't wear this dress except on formal occasions or when an inspector came avisiting. The mood inside the class room was sombre.

What surprised Franz more was the fact that the empty back benches were on that day occupied by a few villager, the ex-mayor and the ex-headman. Old Hauser was there too with his glasses and his elementary text book.
Hamel rose to his chair, and in an emotion-filled voice solemnly declared that this was his last class. Orders had been received from Berlin that only German would be taught in the school from then on. A new teacher was due the next day, who would take over from him and teach German. Saying this, Hamel urged his pupils to be very attentive.
Hamel's declaration left Franz perplexed. He could surmise that this was the news the villagers were reading in the Bulletin Board.
Instead of being relieved and happy that his trauma was over, Franz was filled with remorse. Lost in the woods and among the birds, he had hardly learnt anything of French. And the lessons would not be available anymore. The sadness underwhelmed Franz.
It dawned on Franz that his teacher had put on his formal dress for this occasion and the village folks were there to express their solidarity with the departing teacher. Hamel had put in four decades of service at the school.
Franz was asked by his teacher. His heart sank in trepidation. He soon fumbled. He stood there with head bowed in shame and fear. Hamel sounded surprisingly soft. Instead of scowling at Franz, Hamel reminded Franz how he had failed in his duty to learn his mother tongue well. He had procrastinated as had Alsace. Putting off doing lessons for the next day had robbed both of the opportunity of availing a mentor's guidance. There would be no French lesson any more. As his final word in humility, Hamel told Franz that all humans had their share of failings.
Hamel blamed Franz's parents for sending him out to work in a nearby mill for earning wage at the cost of his studies. Hamel himself had asked the boy to water the plants in the garden while he should have been in the class room, learning French. And, as a lax teacher he had permitted Franz to leave the school at will for his errands.
Hamel proceeded to sing the praise of the French language, describing its innate beauty. He extolled the students and the senior citizens present there to treasure French in their hearts and never neglect it.
Hamel opened the grammar book and began to teach a lesson from it. On that occasion, his explanations appeared so lucid, and so clear. Franz loved what his teacher taught. Hamel apparently was pouring his heart out before his class.
ALSO READ The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Complete Explanation
After the grammar class, the writing class started. Hamel had brought brand new copies for his students. He had written 'France, Alsace, France, Alsace' in bold beautiful letters on them. Hamel's passion for French came bursting forth from those letters. The whole class started their writing work with unprecedented zeal. Their teacher's dedication was infectious. There was pin drop silence in the class room. The intruding beetles failed to distract the pupils. The pigeons cooed as usual. Franz wondered if the invading Germans would try to hammer down German through the pigeons' throats.
With the whole class engrossed in writing, Hamel slipped into a mood of reflection. He cast his glance keenly in all directions as if to emboss the environment's memory in his mind. He had aged with the school. Having to leave it in such ignominy left him dejected and broken. His sister was hurriedly packing their belongings as they had been ordered to leave the country the next day.
After the writing class the history class followed. The older folks in the class started their practice with basic French. The determination and grief in their voice was palpable. Hauser broke down.
It was noon. The church bell sounded 12. The Prussians in the field nearby were doing their drill. Soon they would be in the school. Hamel rose, struggling with emotions to say his final words. In big bold letters, he wrote "Viva La France". It was a defiant assertion of national pride by a humble school teacher.
Finally, he declared, "School is dismissed. You may go."
Describe Franz's nature. .. Franz was a school going youngster who loathed the rigors and restrictions of the classroom. The outdoors charmed him as much as his studies repelled him. He has particular dislike for the grammar lessons of his teacher, Hamel, because the latter taught his French grammar too sincerely. The chirping of birds and the sight of squirrels appealed to him. This is why he dragged his feet on his way to school, but he was sensitive, patriotic and emotional. He felt the anguish of the last day as most others who heard Hamel's mournful announcement of the forced shutdown of French language teaching.
Describe Hamel's nature. … Hamel was a dedicated teacher of French language. He took his duty quite seriously. At the same time, he was sentimentally attached to his school. Since he loved French language passionately, he wanted all his pupils to learn their mother tongue with the right aptitude. Hamel was dignified, patriotic and emotional.
Why the French language teaching stopped abruptly? .. The advancing German troops were due to reach the village soon. They wanted to stamp their authority on the villagers by making them adopt German as the official language. As the first step, they ordered the closure of French classes in the village school. In the true military way, they wanted their order to come into effect immediately. There was no option, but to comply with the order.
Why had the villagers assembled near the billboard? .. The billboard was the village's common place from where all the war front news was disseminated. Villagers flocked around it to read the war bulletins, which were mostly about retreat of French defense forces. Villagers used to talk amongst themselves there.
Describe the mood of the villagers inside the school. … A pall of gloom had descended on the school. The couple of villagers sat quietly in the back benches, confused, and crestfallen. The German were approaching fast. The school was going to close. The prospect of their children learning German in place of their mother tongue French was deeply depressing. Their mood was somber. As they heard Hamel say his final words, they became increasingly distraught.
How did Franz's mood change on entering the school premises? .. On normal days, the chattering of the pupils is audible from a distance. On that fateful day, the school appeared unusually quiet and lifeless. His classmates sat motionless in their seats. His teacher, Hamel wore his formal dress. An air of uncertainty and grief had filled the air. Hamel saw him, but showed no signs of anger as in other days. Franz was puzzled.
Why do you think people in general feel so emotional about their mother tongue? Why did the villagers felt so sorry to see their French language school close? .. We all speak our mother tongue from our childhood. This is why the language of our roots is called our 'Mother Tongue'. Like our mothers, it initiates us to the world of learning, and skill. Not only we communicate with our mother tongue, but also, we think, create, and identify ourselves through our mother tongue. As we grow up, we take pride in our mother tongue, and use it as a tool of our emotional comfort, and security. No doubt, we all learn a second language for our practical needs, but we continue our attachment with our mother tongue. In the case of the French village where Franz studied, the people also felt similarly sentimental about their language. They couldn't countenance their children being asked to recite poems in German. It was a linguistic subjugation that they found utterly repugnant to their nationalism.

Wine producing areas can be beautiful- and Napa/Sonoma is no exception. There is so much to see, do, eat, and drink. It is a truly amazing experience and the best thing- everything is so close! Making your way around in a car is ideal to see the most vineyards, wineries, towns, and attractions. Just make sure you don't drink too much when you do!
When you fly into San Francisco, you will encounter a city full of adventure that is less than an hour away from gorgeous countryside and vineyards. You can take one of the bridges out of town- the Bay or Golden Gate bridges. Less than an hour will take you to either Sonoma or Napa cities. Both are located on the south end of their valleys which lead to more small cities and multiple wineries. Before you get to either city, just to the south, you will pass through los Carneros which is a cooler spot used to grow very good Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. All valleys grow high quality grapes, though Napa holds slightly more history and prestige.
In the center of it all is Sonoma city. By traveling east you can reach Napa city and take the highway north between the mountains, up the valley, and through the cities of Oakville, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. Traveling west of Sonoma, you drive past Petaluma and north through Sonoma county up to Santa Rosa and Healdsburg. And just to the north of Sonoma is Kenwood and Glen Ellyn. Every one of these small towns has something great to offer- including many wineries very close by! Plus each city, and the beach, are less than an hour from Sonoma. It seems most who live here have no need to travel elsewhere, but don't get complacent as this, and the world, has much more to offer.
Make sure you have a good map or GPS available. Even though it is easy to manuever, it is easy to get lost as well. Also, prep clothing for multiple climates. The bay area can be a bit cooler and the valleys a bit hotter. San Francisco is currently about 75°F and the valleys 95°F. And if you buy wine, remember you can no longer transport it in carry-on luggage. Be prepared to either check wine carrying luggage or ship it.

Gold Rush grab second as 18IN18 season wraps up
NBL NZ News
December 4, 2020 by Peter Williams
OTAGO Gold Rush have capped off their strong 2020 New Zealand National Basketball League (NZNBL) season by grabbing second spot on the ladder in the 18IN18 competition following a commanding 72-58 win over Canterbury Wildcats. The winless Wildcats were always going to finish bottom after an 0-4 start, but the Gold Rush needed a win to secure second spot, which they did so thanks to a 14-point triumph.
Scoring the opening basket of the game and never surrendering the lead, the Gold Rush set the tone from the start, and kept the Wildcats to single-digit points in two of the four quarters. It was Hayley Gray and Te Araroa Sopoaga who nailed back-to-back jumpers for an early 4-0 lead. Emily Knight got her side on the board, but a layup from Zoe Richards – who would put in a sensational performance on the night – grabbed her first points in response.
Soon the lead extended as Tara Clement and Richards pushed it out to eight midway through the quarter, and with 4:43 on the clock, the score was 11-2 and the game was looking like a blowout. Luckily for the Wildcats, Katherine Jones hit a crucial triple, and that triggered eight straight points for the underdogs to get within one, but as the game would have it, never hit the front. Instead, Olivia O'Neill steadied by converting a layup And-One chance, and then Richards extended the lead out in response to Shea Crotty's triple for the Wildcats. As soon as the lead had got out to seven, Crotty hit another three, and Tiana Placid nailed a two-point jumper in the dying seconds to draw the Wildcats to within two at the first break.
In a repeat of the first term, Gray was the first on the board for the Gold Rush, extending the lead out to four in the opening minute. Once again a fast start was putting Otago on top as Richards and then Lisa Wallbutton added points for a 7-0 start to the quarter. Placid scored her side's first points midway through the term, but Fayreen Fualau provided support, and Richards did the rest, going on a scoring spree with six straight points being amongst a 16-2 run in the first eight minutes.
With two minutes on the clock, Canterbury was staring down the barrel of a single-basket quarter, but luckily a late hookshot from Isabelle Cook, and then a triple with 50 seconds later saved her side from being completely out of it, and the deficit was 11 points at the half, 36-25.
Just as the game looked to be passing the Wildcats by, Knight, Gemma Etheredge and Brittany Richards all put points on the board as the losing side scored the first seven points of the second half. The celebrations were short lived as Bronwyn Kjestrup and Savanna Handevidt hit their first shots, but again Knight and Rosalia Samia came to the party and the deficit was back to four.
For all of Otago's dominance earlier, it was still very much game on. The Wildcats were keeping it in single digits, though the Gold Rush were threatening to run away with the contest. At one stage Etheredge's free throws had dragged Canterbury to within three points, but the Gold Rush again pulled away with Handevidt and Clement taking control, and with the last basket of the quarter, the Gold Rush were up by seven at the final break.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, the Gold Rush came good on their threat to run away with the contest in the final term, as Zoe Richards hit the first jumper, and when Gray nailed a jumper four minutes into the term, the the Gold Rush were up by 12. Fualau hit some late points, and with time the enemy for the Wildcats, they just ran out of it, and the Gold Rush did enough to secure the win by 14 points.
The Gold Rush were simply too good across the board with a 49 per cent clip from the field compared to the Wildcats' 30 per cent, though the latter had the same amount of three-point attempts as two-pointers (36) whilst the Gold Rush only had six long-range attempts but nailed three of them. They also won the rebound (50-39), block (3-0) and bench points (29-22), though the Wildcats were on top in the assists (16-14), steals (20-15) and second chance points (17-15). Remarkably, Canterbury also had less turnovers (24-31) and made the Gold Rush pay with 32 points from turnovers to Otago's 18.
Zoe Richards was dominant with 21 points, nine rebounds and five steals, hitting two of the Gold Rush's three triples. Clement came off the bench for 12 points, three rebounds and two steals, while the likes of Wallbutton (10 rebounds, three assists and three steals), Sopoaga (six points, five rebounds and six assists) and Kjestrup (five rebounds, two steals) all had impacts off the boards.
For the Wildcats, Crotty and Knight both scored a team-high 11 points, whilst Etheredge was crucial thanks to 11 rebounds, six steals and three assists to go with five points. Brittany Richards had four points and five rebounds, while Cook came off the bench for 10 points, two rebounds and two assists.
Otago Gold Rush now takes on Waikato Wizards tomorrow night for a place in the grand final against the winner of undefeated Harbour Breeze and Capital Swish tonight.

Famous collapse victim reborn as rental
A long-stalled condo project at 290 Mulberry St. in Manhattan's NoLita is expected to spring back to life next year, this time as a rental.
The 12-story building, at the corner of East Houston Street and across the street from the landmarked Puck Building, has sold for $25 million, according to Michael DeCheser, director of sales at Massey Knakal Realty Services, which was retained by developer Cardinal Real Estate Investments to exclusively market the property in the spring. Mr. DeCheser declined to disclose the buyer, but noted that Cardinal, the building's trendy designer SHoP Architects, and the original construction team will remain involved in completing the project.
"I'm told it will be finished as a rental," he said, adding that the buyer was attracted to 290 Mulberry St.'s location, architecture and quality. The building is about 90% complete, with about six more months of work to be done.
The building, with its distinctive, wavy brick façade, was conceived as a condo with eight full-floor apartments with a shared 2,600-square-foot terrace. There was also a 2,613-square-foot, triplex penthouse which had its own 1,650-square-foot terrace that was originally marketed at $7.5 million, according to industry blog Curbed.com. The project ran into trouble in the wake of Lehman Brothers collapse in late 2008. The project's lender CIT Group attempted to foreclose on the building, but it fell into bankruptcy itself, according to published reports. The developer claimed that CIT stopped funding the project and countersued the lender.
Mr. DeCheser noted that long-pending litigation involving the property has at last been settled and that it will be delivered to the new owner without liens. "Everyone was content at the end and it was a very positive transaction," he added.
Robert Burton, senior vice president of sales at Massey Knakal, worked with Mr. DeCheser on the sale.

Dancing On Ice: Torvill and Dean SLAM Gemma Collins over Jason Gardiner row
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean reckon it may be a case off 'too little, too late' for the GC
Get daily headlines and breaking news alerts for FREE by signing up to our newsletter
The ice skates might be on but it seems the gloves are off for Dancing On Ice judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as they discussed the attitude and ability of Gemma Collins.
The former Olympic champions have been watching The GC and other celebrities compete on the ITV talent show, but don't sound that impressed by the former TOWIE star's efforts.
Appearing on This Morning on Sunday, 61-year-old Jayne and 60-year-old Christopher stuck the knife in to 37-year-old Gem as they discussed her on-screen arguments with judge Jason Gardiner, 47.
"From Billy Elliot to Rocky Balboa. It's Jason Gardiner and Gemma Collins," This Morning host Ruth Langsford commented.

"Guys, we're all gonna be tuned in to see round three tonight, what's gonna happen here? Does it help her cause?" Ruth asked.
"I think Gemma does have a lot of followers on social media, so she will have the support there too," Jayne replied.
"But we have to look at it as judges. [Which] is how much skating she's doing," she continued.

"Chris and I personally felt she hadn't put in the hours in from her first to the second week," Jayne went on.
Discussing Gem's arguments with Jason - which last week saw her bark at the Australian judge to "shut up" as he critiqued her - the skating stars cringed.
"Really, I felt sorry for Phil [Schofield] and Holly [Willoughby]. Because at what point do they have to jump in?" Jayne said.

However it seems the feud may have all been fine after the cameras stopped rolling.
"No I think everyone kind of went their separate ways and let the dust settle," Chris revealed.
"We just want her to put her money where her mouth is," he continued.
"She needs to put her best foot forward tonight now doesn't she. Don't know whether its too little too late, but she's definitely working harder this week. Well will see," he added.
Dancing On Ice continues on ITV tonight at 6pm.

Determination of mu-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptors in forebrain cortex of rats exposed to morphine for 10 days: Comparison with animals after 20 days of morphine withdrawal.
Chronic exposure of mammalian organism to morphine results in adaption to persistent high opioid tone through homeostatic adjustments. Our previous results indicated that in the frontal brain cortex (FBC) of rats exposed to morphine for 10 days, such a compensatory adjustment was detected as large up-regulation of adenylylcyclases I (8-fold) and II (2.5-fold). The other isoforms of AC (III-IX) were unchanged. Importantly, the increase of ACI and ACII was reversible as it disappeared after 20 days of morphine withdrawal. Changes of down-stream signaling molecules such as G proteins and adenylylcyclases should respond to and be preceded by primary changes proceeding at receptor level. Therefore in our present work, we addressed the problem of reversibility of the long-term morphine effects on mu-, delta- and kappa-OR protein levels in FBC izolated from rats exposed to increasing doses of morphine (10-40 mg/kg) for 10 days and sacrificed either 24 h (group +M10) or 20 days (group +M10/-M20) after the last dose of morphine in parallel with control animals (groups -M10 and -M10/-M20).Significant down-regulation of delta-OR form exhibiting Mw approximate 60 kDa was detected in PNS prepared from both (+M10) and (+M10/-M20) rats. However, the total immunoblot signals of mu-, delta- and kappa-OR, respectively, were unchanged. Plasma membrane marker Na, K-ATPase, actin and GAPDH were unaffected by morphine in both types of PNS. Membrane-domain marker caveolin-1 and cholesterol level increased in (+M10) rats and this increase was reversed back to control level in (+M10/-M20) rats. In FBC, prolonged exposure of rats to morphine results in minor (delta-OR) or no change (mu- and kappa-OR) of opioid receptor content. The reversible increases of caveolin-1 and cholesterol levels suggest participation of membrane domains in compensatory responses during opioid withdrawal. Analysis of reversibility of morphine effect on mammalian brain.

Updates of Whitstable Music Society
Concert Sat 25th November 2017 - 7.30pm
A reminder for your diaries that the concert on Sat 25th November will feature the cellist Bartholomew LaFollette.
After being launched into a rich and varied career by YCAT (Young Classical Artists Trust) with numerous performances at the Wigmore Hall, Barbican Centre, Bridgewater Hall and the Royal Festival Hall, Bartholomew went on to win first prize at The Arts Club's and Decca Records' inaugural Classical Music Award in June 2013. which identified him as "the most exciting young classical talent in Britain."
He was also the first recipient of the Irish Chamber Orchestra's Ardán Award. Hailed by the Irish Times for being "as free in touching the heartstrings as he was in dashing off dazzling runs", Bartholomew's highlights with orchestra include performances of Dvořák's Cello Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Walton and Elgar Cello Concertos in the Barbican Hall as well as appearing as soloist with the City of London Sinfonia. He has also performed The Brahms Double Concerto with Daniel Stabrawa and the Poznań Philharmonic in Poland and Elgar's Cello Concerto at the Sibelius International Music Festival in Helsinki.
Programme Change
Bartholomew will be making two changes to the programme published in our brochure. The Bach Suite No. 4 in E flat Major will be replaced by the Bach Suite No.3 in C Major and the Schubert Arpeggione Sonata by the Stravinsky Suite Italienne - a virtuoso showpiece for cello and piano.
Bartholomew will be accompanied by the Singapore-born English pianist, Caroline Palmer, studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London with Edith Vogel and later continued her studies with Peter Wallfisch and Hans Keller. She won several prizes and also was a finalist in the Busoni Competition in Italy.
Since then Caroline has established a reputation as a chamber musician and soloist and has performed in the USA and throughout Europe. She has been a participant in various chamber music festivals in Europe and America. Alongside her career as a pianist she has been a piano professor at the Guildhall since 1990, where she coaches chamber repertoire as well as teaching individual students.

Boosting metabolism is the holy grail of mass watchers everywhere, but how fast your body burns calories depends on numerous things. Some people inherit a speedy metabolism. Men tend to burn more calories than females, even while resting. And for most people, metabolic rate slows steadily after age 40. Although you can't control your time of life, gender, or genetics, there are other methods to improve your metabolism. Here are 6 of them.
Your body burns many more calories digesting protein than it does eating overweight or carbohydrates. As part of a balanced food, replacing some carbs with lean, protein-rich nutrients can boost metabolism at mealtime. Good sources of protein contain lean beef, turkey, fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy foodstuffs.
Aerobic practice may not build big muscles, but it can rev up your metabolic rate in the hours after a workout. The key is to push you. High-intensity exercise delivers a larger, longer rise in resting metabolic rate than low- or moderate-intensity workouts. To get the benefits, try a more intense class at the fitness center or include short bursts of jogging during your daily walk.
Your body needs H2O to process calories. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolic rate may slow down. In one study, adults who drank eight or more glasses of H2O a day burned more calories than those who drank four. To stay hydrated, beverage a glass of water or other unsweetened beverage before every meal and snack. Also, snack on fresh fruits and vegetables, which naturally contain H2O, rather than pretzels or chips.
Some ingredients in vigor drinks can give your metabolism a boost. They're full of caffeine, which increases the amount of vigor your body uses. They sometimes have taurine, an amino acid. The turbine can speed up your metabolism and may help burn overweight. But using these drinks can reason problems like high body fluid pressure, anxiety, and sleep problems for some people. The American Academy of Pediatrics doesn't recommend them for children and teens.
Eating more often can help you lose weightiness. When you eat large meals with many hours in between, your metabolic rate slows down between meals. Having a small meal or snack every 3 to 4 hours saves your metabolism cranking, so you burn more calories over the course of a day. Several studies have also shown that people who snack daily eat less at mealtime.
Your body regularly burns calories, even when you're doing nothing. This resting metabolic rate is much higher in folks with more muscle. Every pound of muscle uses about 6 calories a day just to put up with itself, while each pound of fat burns only 2 calories every day. That small difference can add up over time. After a session of strength training, muscles are activated all over your physique, raising your average everyday metabolic rate.

From the instant #1 New York Times bestselling author of the "eerie and fascinating" (USA TODAY) The Thirteenth Tale comes a richly imagined, powerful new novel about the wrenching disappearance of three little girls and the wide-reaching effect it has on their small town.
On a dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the river Thames, an extraordinary event takes place. The regulars are telling stories to while away the dark hours, when the door bursts open on a grievously wounded stranger. In his arms is the lifeless body of a small child. Hours later, the girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can science provide an explanation? These questions have many answers, some of them quite dark indeed.
Those who dwell on the river bank apply all their ingenuity to solving the puzzle of the girl who died and lived again, yet as the days pass the mystery only deepens. The child herself is mute and unable to answer the essential questions: Who is she? Where did she come from? And to whom does she belong? But answers proliferate nonetheless.
Three families are keen to claim her. A wealthy young mother knows the girl is her kidnapped daughter, missing for two years. A farming family reeling from the discovery of their son's secret liaison, stand ready to welcome their granddaughter. The parson's housekeeper, humble and isolated, sees in the child the image of her younger sister. But the return of a lost child is not without complications and no matter how heartbreaking the past losses, no matter how precious the child herself, this girl cannot be everyone's. Each family has mysteries of its own, and many secrets must be revealed before the girl's identity can be known.
Once Upon a River is a glorious tapestry of a book that combines folklore and science, magic and myth. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, the beginning of this novel will sweep you away on a powerful current of storytelling, transporting you through worlds both real and imagined, to the triumphant conclusion whose depths will continue to give up their treasures long after the last page is turned.
Diane Setterfield is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Tale, and a former academic, specializing in twentieth-century French literature, particularly the works of Andre Gide. She lives in Oxford, England.
"I was completely spellbound by this book. Numerous strands of the same story are skillfully woven into a magical web from which I, as a reader, had no desire to escape.

IPC supported Tianjin Rural Commercial Bank in the area of SME lending over a period of three years. IPC first demonstrated the potential to apply cashflow-based lending to SME clients through a "bank-in-a-bank" approach at TRCB. Following this initial success, the next step was to further consolidate, strengthen and integrate SME lending capacities by merging the newly created SME lending department into TRCB's traditional branch network. By fully incorporating IPC's cashflow-based SME lending approach into the existing lending structure and processes of the bank, we were able to ensure that all new loans below RMB 10 million, for both new and existing clients, were assessed using a rigorous approach shared by traditional account managers and IPC-trained SME risk analysts.

This will no less than offer you a concept of that which you may seem like using this hairstyle, thus will leave you with the choice if they should do it now you aren't. Another thing you could do for changing hair style also is probably your best bet should be to seek professional help. Visit the usual salon put forth or even just one of the local salons, then you certainly should ask your hairdresser of their opinion of whether or not the hairstyle you are going for will actually do the job. These are the individuals who are most equipped with the information of hairstyling and know best of what kind of hairstyle will be best on a person, just what exactly they advice you may be trusted as the very best advice you can get.
Although changing hair style does involve much on its physical aspects, you need to have in your mind that its primary role is to allow you to happy. Whatever style you may choose, it will always be better that within the end you will enjoy the method that you will appear to suit your needs could be the person who will be toting for a long time. It's physical aspect in deciding which to pick go hand-in-hand in making you happy.


Project included a redesign of existing car park to accommodate more car parking stalls.
We worked alongside the landscape architect and client to ensure all needs were met. The site was currently live therefore it had to be programmed into two phases to ensure there was no disturbance to day to day activities for the surrounding businesses.
The tight programme was met whilst achieving a good quality finish and maintaining a good relationship with client and consultant.

Instead of having nominations or listing every visual novel that was created during the year, individuals/groups could submit the game they wish to enter. That's how I've seen this sort of thing handled on other forums.
I do have one recommendation for your post. You should tag the NSFW art, to be on the safe side!

Proposed Gabbard Road name change
Gabbard Road. Possibly, soon to be known as 'North Traditions Drive,' or, nostalgically, 'the road formerly known as Gabbard.'
We received this today from the City of Bryan (I made some parts red for emphasis):
From: "Zimmermann, Martin" <mzimmermann@bryantx.gov>
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 10:54:06 -0500
Subject: proposed Gabbard Road street name change
In order to establish a more consistent and continuous street naming system and to simplify street identification by delivery services, emergency services as well as visitors and the general public, City staff is proposing to change the name of Gabbard Road to North Traditions Drive. Please also refer to the map attached to this email.
The Bryan City Council will consider this street name change proposal during its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 27, 2010. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. in City Council chambers on the first floor of the Bryan Municipal Office Building, 300 South Texas Avenue. At this public hearing, the public has an opportunity to express their views on this matter.
The purpose of this email is to inform you and your neighborhood association of the nature of this proposal and the public hearing date. I urge you to share this information with your association's members. The City of Bryan has already notified four property owners that currently have an address on Gabbard Road by postcard notification. If the street name change is approved by the City Council, then City staff will notify all property owners in the Westwood Estates Subdivision.
If anyone in your association has any questions, comments or concerns regarding this street name change proposal, please have them contact me at (979) 209-5030.

I am very much against renaming Gabbard. Gabbard Road has been there long before North Traditions was even an idea. They knew that Gabbard was already in place, so they should have continue with Gabbard instead of trying to rename the road. Due to another commitment I will not be able to be a the meeting on Tuesday!
mcoppock says : April 9, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Perrette, thanks for your response. Please contact Mr. Zimmerman and let him know your feelings on the matter.
For those not on the Yahoo Group email list, here's an interesting item. One of our Board members asked what the historical precedent may have been in the original naming of Gabbard Road. I wondered if it was named after the same person that Gabbard Park in College Station was named after. Here's the response from Mr. Zimmermann from the City of Bryan:
Based on our research it appears that Mr. Letcher P. Gabbard was the head of farm and ranch economics at the Agricultural Experiment Station from 1922 until the 1940's. There is a College Station park named for him. He died around 1960.
It appears that he owned property in this area and we speculate that Gabbard Road was likely a dirt road on property he owned, but we were not able to confirm that.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Clyde Garland responds:
A street name with "North" as the first word of
the name does not "simplify street identification."
It complicates it, since it will not be listed the same
way in various indexes, with the main ones being,
US Post Office, Phone Books, Tax records and County Voter list.
Its usually not even listed the same way in the same index, since each data entry person makes up their own way to handle North, No, No., N, N. and if it will be listed first or last.
So, if the goal is "to simplify street identification,"
the following street names should be changed:
North Traditions Drive
South Traditions Drive
The following are examples of how to rename these
streets so that they will appear the same in all indexes:
Traditions North Drive
Traditions South Drive
Barbara Riggins says : April 17, 2010 at 8:26 am
I like Mr. Garland's idea with a small change, Traditions Drive North, Traditions Drive South. My preference, though, would be to stick with Gabbard. I doubt that will happen. I've already had an experience where Traditions trumps my property concerns.
Andy Merritt says : April 21, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I frequently read that the City of Bryan is short of money and is looking for ways to save tax-payer money. I am against the City spending money needlessly on something that should be left alone. I understand the need to clarify addresses – I own an inexpensive GPS which sorts that out for me quite easily.
Again, the City should not spend countless dollars on changing Gabbard…it was here first.
Christian Galindo says : April 22, 2010 at 5:48 am
Gabbard Raod was initially an access gravel road to the old Gabbard Ranch. The Bryan City limits runs as a straight line slightly to the southeast of the center line of the paved area. TAMU, the adjacent owner to the southeast, granted an access easement to Brazos County to allow the widening of the road when Westwood Estates was platted in 1976. Initially Westwood Estates was a subdivision in Brazos County. It was annexed by the city of Bryan in 1981 or 82.
The City of Bryan currently owns (and maintains)the road, partly by Dedication and partly as a road Easement.

LFL: Reports of Kedah town's 'sin' patrols are an appalling display of vigilantism that blatantly disregards the rule of law
Reports of Kedah town's 'sin' patrols are an appalling display of vigilantism that blatantly disregards the rule of law
We refer to the alarming news report detailing a vigilante group "Skuad Badar" in Sungai Petani surveilling and raiding couples suspected of having sex out of wedlock and other "illicit activities" or "khalwat".
These reports are very troubling as they expose a form of unlawful mob rule that's been going on in Kedah for 2 years now, a blatant disregard for the rule of law that authorities must step in and put to an end to now.
Groups like these have absolutely no jurisdiction to act as moral police. In essence, they are brazenly impersonating authorities under a charade of legitimacy by wearing uniforms and using so called "approval letters" to get past hotel staff and conduct raids. But these letters are no more than police reports filed by the group themselves stating their intentions to raid.
In addition to this, they dubiously claim legitimacy by gaining the consent of local mosque officials as if this actually permits them to encroach on people's private lives. In fact it is un-Islamic to breach the privacy of any individuals with the purpose to humiliate and shame such persons in the pretext of curbing immoral activities.
For those who refuse to open their doors and cooperate, the group will call in the state religious affairs department to intercede. This amounts to no less than a threat or a form of blackmail. A person has no obligation to cooperate with strangers asking personal questions; especially given their intentions to illegally search the premises of a patron.
Worse still, those they manage to nab are taken to be lectured at a cemetery, then made to call their parents to pick them up from a mosque in the morning, presumably to give the impression that religious authorities may be involved.
Despite the fact that the Kedah religious authorities and police have stated that these vigilante activities are illegal, the group claims to have conducted these activities for the past 2 years and to date have caught hundreds of couples. As previously mentioned, they file a police report before each raid. Given this; the fact that the police has yet to put a stop to this mob rule shows pure neglect and complicity.
In this country we have an unfortunate culture whereby infractions are done seemingly in plain sight of the authorities, but indifference is shown until the development of media controversy. This culture of turning a blind eye until people start asking questions has to change.
The ongoing presence of vigilantes threatens the maintenance of the rule of law and may lead to both the escalation and proliferation of such conduct throughout the country as has been seen at an increasing rate in India for instance where people accused of cow slaughter have been assaulted and lynched. Similarly in the Philippines where vigilantes have killed people accused of being involved in drugs. The risk of this precedent is why prompt action is crucial.
Law enforcement authorities must take appropriate action immediately. The government must take a stand against these activities, most of which had gone on unchecked under the previous administration.

Holy Land Day 4: Masada, Qumran, the Baptismal Site, and Floating in the Dead Sea
After along drive southward along the Dead Sea, we arrived at the visitors center of Masada, watched the cheesy historical video, a then took the tram up to the top of the plateau, where Herod had built a virtually impregnable fortress and two palaces in the middle of the Judean desert.
Originally the site of a Hasmonean fortress, Herod greatly expanded it after he had been forced to leave his family there in 39 B.C. while he went to Rome to gain recognition. He never wanted them, or himself, to need to stay in anything less than luxurious accommodations!
The site was later held by Jewish rebels, and it was the last place they held after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The Romans built a large siege ramp up the western side of the plateau, but the zealots committed suicide before the Romans broke through.
The main Roman military camp below the site
The ramp that the Romans built to take Masada
Qumran
Qumran is the site of an ascetic group of Jewish sectarians who had withdrawn into the desert to worship the Lord apart from the world and the rest of Judaism. Most scholars think that they were the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in caves nearby.
Cave 4, perhaps the most famous of the Qumran caves
One of the many mikvaot, or ritual baths, at Qumran
After Qumran, we drove back to Jericho for lunch at the Green Valley/Samar Cafe, which featured a local Palestinian dish of chicken on spicy pita.
The Baptismal Site of Jesus
We then went to Qasr al-Yahud, the Israeli side of the traditional baptismal site, where we held a devotional where I talked about the connections of the site with nearby Gilgal, where Joshua and the Children of Israel crossed into the Promised Land, and the translation and ascension of Elijah. We then talked about baptism according to Mark 1, Matthew 3, Luke 3, and 2 Nephi 31 before singing "Baptism" from The Children's Songbook, after which I offered a prayer.

Floating the Dead Sea
We next took a swimming---or better, "floating"---break at the Dead Sea, which is the lowest place on earth. The water is so saline that one easily floats.

Mimaki 3D device on track for 2017 release
Hannah Jordan
Mimaki's new 3DUJ-553 is on track for commercial availability at the end of the year, following beta testing through the summer.
According to Mimaki its new device, which is expected to cost around €200,000 (£185,866), is the world's first 3D printer with more than 10 million colours. It builds objects layer by layer using UV LED curing adding a final UV ink coating of around 22 microns with CMYK, white and clear inks.
It was previewed in its prototype stage at Drupa 2016.
Full-colour modeling enables the device to push the colour gamut, achieving 84% of the Fogra 39L colour gamut and 90% of the Swop gamut, with white ink layers used help create brilliant colour effects.
Another world first for 3D printers, according to the manufacturer, is that the 3DUJ-553 is the first to use colour profiles that not only produce accurate printed colour but also simulation profiles for accurate colour viewing on a monitor.
Mimaki's new 3D printer, which prints a maximum modelling size of 500x500x300mm, offers high precision droplet laydown with a choice of three dot sizes allowing colour gradations and reduced granularity, according to the manufacturer, while an in-built camera allows users to monitor modelling status.
It can produce five pieces in around 10 hours in standard mode and also offers high definition and high speed modes, while minimal heat application thanks to the LED UV technology and fast start-up time contributes to the device's low power usage and therefore low running costs.
Additionally the acrylic resin contained in the inks produces durability equivalent to ABS resin, which means overcoats can be applied as well as screw attachments and drilling without damaging the objects.
"As the 3D printing market continues to grow, Mimaki has capitalised on an opportunity to bring a truly unique solution to the market," said Mimaki Europe general manager, Ronald van den Broek.
"Other 3D printing solutions have two primary issues when it comes to creating 3D printed objects. First, they cannot produce objects in photorealistic colour. This often requires that they be hand painted, a time-consuming and expensive prospect. Secondly, most 3D printed objects require removal of stabilising fixtures before they can be used. This again takes time and risks damaging the object," he explained.
"With the Mimaki 3DUJ-553, both of these barriers are eliminated, since it can print photorealistic colour, choosing from up to 10 million different colours. And its water-soluble support material can easily be washed off without damaging the object. This enables the cost-effective production of exquisite 3D printed products with elaborate finishing," van den Broek added.
Mimaki expects the 3DUJ-553, which will be available in the UK exclusively through Hybrid Services, to attract particular interest from a range of industries including sign and display graphics, education, healthcare, manufacturing, architecture and construction for colour-realistic production of signs, prototypes, parts and products.
Van den Broek said: "Prospective customers tell us this is exactly the 3D printing solution they have been waiting for, and we expect to see fairly rapid uptake once it is commercially available by the end of this year."

After working with students for nearly ten years, and hearing them say, "I hate writing" one too many times, Jenny Sheets decided to do something about it. She created the digital storyboarding app, Storysquares. Not knowing anything about the tech world, Sheets has relied on her experience as an educator, mentor, and her undergrad degree in English and Philosophy, and a Masters in Public Administration to build the business. When not "tech-ing" it up, she is writing for regional publications and businesses, and pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Montana.
