Transit of Venus App Enables Cosmic Calculations
A built-in timer allows users to calculate the length of the planet's shadow on the solar disk to reproduce an experiment done in the 19th century with less precise instruments
By Ed Oswald, TechNewsDaily on June 1, 2012
On June 5-6, amateur and professional astronomers alike will be treated to a very rare celestial event: the trek of the planet Venus across the sun. Of course, there's an app for that.
Called VenusTransit and available on both the iOS (iPhone) and Android platforms, the app recreates a centuries-old experiment that was used to help calculate the size of the solar system, specifically the Earth's distance from the sun.
The transit of Venus across the sun is one of the rarest celestial events ever witnessed in human history. Only six Venus transits have been observed in the last 400 years, and if you miss this one, you're out of luck. The next transit of Venus occurs in the year 2117.
That's where the VenusTransit app comes in.
The skywatcher society Astronomers Without Borders and Dutch schoolteacher Steven van Roode are behind the app. Users of VenusTransit are asked to use a built-in timer within the app to calculate the length of the "ingress," or entrance, of Venus' shadow onto the solar disk, and the "egress," or departure, of Venus's shadow from the face of the sun. [NASA Launches App Competition]
The app combines that info with location data from the phone itself and sends it to a central server. The app's creators hope to see whether the data gleaned from amateur astronomers can be as accurate as those of 18th and 19th century stargazers who did the same experiment with far less precise instruments.
Astronomers who watched the 1874 and 1882 transits were able to determine the distance from the Earth to the sun to within 1 percent of its actual value.
VenusTransit has three sections: a timer, a simulator and a visibility section, which tells you when the Venus transit should occur in your location.
If you would like to participate, be sure to read this description of the app and familiarize yourself with the methods of timing the transit. From there, use the simulator to practice timing both the ingress and egress, and compare your times to the correct time to gauge your accuracy. (Note that the app has locked out the timer portion until the time of the actual transit to prevent bogus entries.)
Following the transit, data collected will be posted to an interactive map on the Astronomers Without Borders website. Roode says he hopes the site will become a "time capsule" for future descendants to look back on the events of the Venus transits of the 21st century.

We decided to have a little Gingerbread Decorating Party this year and invite a couple of Madeline's little Kindergarten friends for an end of year treat. It was so fun! The kids had a ball so we've decided to make it a little annual event.
I didn't have a whole lot of time to put it together so I had to grab what I could find from around our house.
I made the Gingerbread Decorating Party sign. It was based on the sign I made for our North Pole Breakfast but I changed the colours a little. The Gingerbread Man book is a vintage copy from the Junior Elf series - I love these books!
I made the Gingerbread Men and Gingerbread Trees using this old family recipe. Each of the kids also had some chocolate milk in old glass milk bottles with a little blue polka dot paper straws. I made a simple royal icing from egg whites and icing sugar which isn't too runny and dries well.
The smaller red plates were $9 for a set of 4 from K-Mart and the larger green rimmed plates were only $1 each on sale from Spotlight.
The Gingerbread Decorating Kits were small tackle boxes from the Storage Box. I made the signs attached to each box. Inside each box were jelly beans, Pebbles, cut up marshmallow twists, crushed candy canes and three different kinds of sprinkles.
I also made each of the kids an apron. Kids aprons are SO expensive. They were all around $40 each! I wanted to make them but just didn't have time to sew them all from scratch. So I purchased four Christmas tea towels in the 50% sale at Bed, Bath and Table. I cut two corners off one short side of the tea towel and hemmed it. Then I sewed on some Gingerbread Men grosgrain ribbon I already had to make the neck strap and waist tie. And voila! Easy kids aprons for less than $5 each.
The kids spent ages concentrating on their creations.
I gave each child a little red and white polka dot box ($2 for a set of 2 in The Warehouse Christmas sale) to take their goodies home in. (I quickly baked some vanilla cupcakes this morning for them to decorate too). Here are some of their creations. So cute!
I didn't get any photos of the little adults table I set up but I made a Christmas tree from a triangle of brie and a stick of celery (I think I saw the idea on Pinterest). Plus a big bowl of fresh berries and glasses of cold bubbles.


Looking for the noun siderúrgica instead?
La empresa siderúrgica tiene su sede principal en las afueras de la ciudad.The iron and steel company has its headquarters on the outskirts of the city.
Mi familia se mudó a Pittsburgh para que mi padre pudiera trabajar como siderúrgico.My family moved to Pittsburgh so that my father could work as a steelworker.

This shared path, originally created by the local Rotary clubs and Manukau City Council offers a smooth flat ride with great views of the Tamaki River.
Flat and entirely off the road.
The Pakuranga Rotary shared path is a very popular walk or ride stretching 9km from Prince Regent Drive in Farm Cove to the Panmure Bridge. The path weaves past the Pakuranga Sailing Club and offers great views up and down the Tamaki River. The ride is well sign-posted and information panels provide historical information about the area. There are lots of picnic spots along the path, which is also home to the local favourite 'snake' playground.
The route can be accessed from many local roads in the area by connecting paths. The Half Moon Bay ferry is also only a short ride away using quiet roads.

This month Kiki Yablon, KPA CTP, writes about how to address unwanted behaviors using positive reinforcement.
Let's say you've just arrived for your first day at a new job. You walk into your new office, where you find a computer on a desk. "I know what to do with that," you think, and push the space bar to wake up the screen.
What exactly didn't he like? Should you never press the space bar again? Was this just the wrong time to press it? Does he not want you working on the computer at all? How do you feel about your new boss?
While this sometimes interrupts the behavior, it doesn't usually prevent it from recurring again in the future. And if the dog finds the interruption scary, he may begin to hide the behavior from you in dismaying ways–say, only peeing behind the couch, or only chewing things if nobody is looking.
The old adage "practice makes perfect" also applies to unwanted behavior. Another word for "perfect" behavior is habit—a routine that the brain doesn't even have to actively think about any more.
If, despite your best efforts at management, the behavior happens, and you can control whether it "works" or not, try not to let it work. For instance, if your dog jumps on you for attention, and you don't like that, don't reinforce the jumping by giving him attention.
Note: to a dog, who doesn't speak your language, looking at him, laying hands on him, and saying "no" to him can all constitute attention.
Instead, try to respond as little as possible for 3-5 seconds. Watch for a behavior you like better, and then reinforce that, or give the dog a cue for an easy, acceptable behavior that you can reward.
Using positive reinforcement, train a behavior that's incompatible with the one you don't like. The good news is that you may already be halfway there: the uses for simple behaviors like sitting, looking at you, hand targeting, and settling on a mat are endless.
Once your dog is performing the new behavior quickly and enthusiastically in a number of benign settings, you can incrementally introduce it into the problematic context. You can even do it in such a way that those same circumstances begin to trigger the new behavior instead of the old one: e.g., the approach of a person becomes another cue to sit, or the sight of a squirrel becomes a cue to check in with the handler.
The incremental part is important. A qualified professional trainer should be able to help both you and your dog break this process down into achievable steps.


Regal's new for 2010 44 Sport Coupe is the second largest of its six model Sportyachts offering from 38 to 53 feet. At first glance, the 44SC may appear to be simply a further iteration of Regal's 4460 Commodore, but the two models are quite different in many unique ways and are intended for different markets.
The 44SC offers a full fixed hardtop forward to the windshield header, a single level cockpit sole from the transom steps forward, and an optional solid cockpit enclosure with sliding door and window to completely enclose the majority of the cockpit and render any canvas as unnecessary, unless you really want that final bit of cockpit covered. In addition, a full-beam sunroof power retracts into the hardtop to reveal 38 square feet of natural lighting and ventilation and provides easy stand-up access through the walk-thru center windshield to the expansive foredeck.
Regal has offered dual access from the swim platform to the cockpit in previous models, but the 44SC takes this one step further by providing a removable seat that completes the stern lounge on either the port or starboard side, thus affording full flexibility in boarding and seating. The cockpit offers virtually full-surround seating in both its forward and aft sections. A refreshment center is standard. Two cockpit tables are optional.
The salon and galley are richly appointed and offer almost seven feet of headroom and your choice of cherry or maple hardwood flooring and four choices of fabric decor packages. The dinette table is hydraulically actuated in front of a full size convertible sofa. The forward stateroom features an island berth with innerspring mattress, mirrored bulkhead, its own flatscreen TV, and private entrance to the main head with separate shower stall. The mid-stateroom features two berths with innerspring mattresses, a privacy pocket door and a separate head with stand-up shower stall. Two-zone air conditioning/heating in the cabin is standard as is a generator.
Notable optional equipment includes auto-pilot, granite countertops, icemaker, hydraulic swim platform, extra flatscreens, upgraded stereos and navigation electronics, and a washer/dryer combo. Two diesel and one gasoline Volvo IPS w/joystick control engine choices are available.

Q: Log file for ReportServerTempDB growing unexpectedly The transaction log file for the ReportServerTempDB database (database installed with Reporting Services) is has grown to over 100GB. And I'm not sure why.
Here are the file sizes:

*

*D:\SQLDatabases\ReportServer.mdf - 0.7GB

*G:\SQLDatabases\ReportServer.ldf - 1.8GB

*E:\SQLDatabases\ReportServerTempDB.mdf - 5GB

*G:\SQLDatabases\ReportServerTempDB.ldf - 107.6GB
Recovery mode for all these database is SIMPLE.
We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition.
EDIT: Something that is unique to the reporting services databases:
The collation for these databases is Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS. But for all other database it is Latin1_General_CI_AS.
I don't want to just shink the log files and carry on, because they might just grow again. And I can't see why they should be so large.

*

*Does anyone know what could cause the log file (and the data file) for the ReportServerTempDB database to grow so much

*And what I should do about it?

*Could this indicate a problem with our Report Server?

A: You are sure that your temp DB is on recovery model - simple as well?
At least you can shrink the database so you get your disk space back using SHRINK DBCC, check this link for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us//library/ms190488.aspx

A: We had renamed SSRS, but the cleanup / archive procs were still trying to cleanup the old database names. When we changed that, out problem stopped.

Security is a big concern in Google android mobile gadgets It is a broadly used mobile phone operating system on the globe. Bitdefender is focused upon safeguarding the privacy of people, and it provides social network safeguard feature which will protect you from detrimental users on social sites. Should you still want effective, another reason you might decide to install a great antivirus software on Android is that the mobile likely merely mainly because updated in terms of secureness bits just like you think. To evaluate the overall performance effect of constantly operating Avast Portable Security in the backdrop, We came multiple studies making use of the Geekbench four Google android benchmarking tool on my Clever Galaxy S8 jogging Google android several. 0 Nougat. This kind of effective anti-malware instrument possesses many circumstances to mention on the subject of, but the most critical lack of advertisings is a thing that attests it is the very best antivirus software just for Android phone, in cases where we compare and contrast it with many other no cost programs.
Our major complaint with this kind of feature from any kind of antivirus app is that that ignores Android 6. 0 Marshmallow's capacity to restrict individual permissions, meaning the application often makes incorrect presumptions regarding which usually permissions a great app have been granted. One other benefit of applying cloud malware computer software is that cloud updates are done immediately by the cloud program, meaning changes will not get in the way with the downloads or else slow straight down your own pc's developing. Pertaining to extra security, try Norton Mobile Security which offers extra features just like SafeWeb filtering that barricades destructive websites.
It is function is extremely basic: to protect our system in actual time via attacks of viruses, trojans, spyware, scam, etc. The free types of the Android os secureness software all of us reviewed are quite solid. If perhaps all you need is actually a basic and effective prevention of malware and you could live with no Anti-theft and other extras, then simply Dr. Internet Antivirus Light v. 7 is a very good decision. This is relatively good designed for an antivirus or anti malware software. That includes tests, phishing security, malware coverage, anti-theft features, and considerably more. Computer viruses, spiteful application, and all types of net threats are just like the Julius Caesars from the online globe, relentless inside their pursuit to invade and conquer your system.
When you will pay as much as $29. 99 a year to cover a single product, you can actually locate offers upon Amazon online and provider websites for the purpose of reliability packages that cover 3 to 5 and possibly 10 computing and mobile devices for only a few bucks extra. The gist: Another familiar name in the security program world, The security software Total Protection is more than simply antivirus software, offering an entire security range of features. Users must enter a passcode or use the finger-print scanning device to discover software you put inside your vault. McAfee offers distinctive Antivirus Packages such for the reason that The security software Antivirus In addition to, The security software Total Proper protection, The security software Internet Secureness.
These are generally a superb proof of whether a piece of full version of antivirus program is properly or not really, as invisalign found these to be worthy of their time for a in depth analysis and assessment process. AVG Anti virus Security is extra than its name suggests, as this likewise delivers software locking, anti theft, process killer and app back up features. Yet as opposed to the others, Avast continues to use some of the other stuff in due to their dirty applications, with ranging fees strategies one of them. The AVG programmers are a single of the most well-liked free LAPTOP OR COMPUTER Antivirus bestantiviruspro.org applications available, plus they have long their managed with the Yahoo Play Retail store even. Your smartphone must have come with a typical antivirus or perhaps security method preinstalled, such as Lookout on Android devices.

Did you know you can better market your products and services using science?
Well, it's true…and it's actually called consumer psychology.
But what is consumer psychology?
Consumer psychology is the study of why people make the purchasing decisions that they make.
Human behavior follows certain patterns and can actually be pretty predictable. By hacking into the psychology of a consumer, a marketer can hit their pain points, figure out what motivates them and advertise in ways that take all of this into account.
To understand more about consumer psychology, you'll want to read a few in-depth books.
The following 10 books will give you all the information you need about consumer psychology to help you get into the psyche of your consumers to see what makes them tick.
If you're looking to study consumer psychology in a scientific way, a good place to start is The Cambridge Handbook of Consumer Psychology.
This book provides research findings in the field, examinations of trends and more. It's definitely one of the most comprehensive books in the field that you'll find, and it's a great place to start if you're new to the science of consumer psychology.
A large aspect of sales is based around influencing others. If you're good at persuading others to do things, you can get them to buy from you.
Influence will help you to better understand why people say yes to things…and how you can persuade them to agree to purchase what you're offering.
The great thing about Decoding the Consumer Mind is how practical it is. This book will teach you not only about consumer psychology, but also how you can better get into the head of your target audience.
Decoding the Consumer Mind contains data based off of hundreds of consumer interviews and more—making it a book that's based on more than just theory.
With this book, you'll be able to make the right changes to your marketing plan to better reach customers in your market.
This is the second Robert Cialdini book on this list, and there's a good reason for that…he knows what he's talking about!
This well-researched book approaches consumer psychology from a new perspective and focuses on changing the state of mind of customers to properly persuade them.
This is done through a diversion of attention that only the best "pre-suaders" are able to pull off.
If you like Robert Cialdini, make sure to read this book.
This is a bit of a lesser-known book, but it's filled with excellent information that will help you lead consumers to purchasing your products and/or services.
The great thing about Consumer Psychology is that it really gets into the ways customers think and feel—and how they make a lot of their decisions from a place of emotion rather than rational thought.
You'll find great real-world examples, study questions, exercises and more in this book to help you to soak up all of the amazing information that it's providing.
The advent of social media really changed the landscape of marketing—and with that came a lot of changes in the field of consumer psychology.
Sure, a lot of the principles behind why customers purchase remain the same, but this new media landscape has led to a lot of changes in the way that marketing is done.
With this book, you'll learn about how social media has changed the marketing landscape and how you can evolve your marketing strategy to engage with consumers on these new platforms.
It's important to note that this book contains writings from a variety of different authors.
This book takes marketing science to the next level!
In Brainfluence, Roger Dooley discusses how neuroscience can be applied to better market products and services to customers.
Through neuromarketing, the way the brain responds to marketing is being analyzed—and those findings are changing the marketing landscape!
Make sure to learn more about marketing's effect on the brain with this book!
There are a lot of ideas out there about why customers buy certain things—but not all of this information is actually true.

AP Published 11:08 p.m. CT March 12, 2014
NATCHEZ – Nine inmates have pleaded guilty in federal court in Natchez to participating in a deadly prison riot in Mississippi in 2012.
One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20, 2012, riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds immigrants convicted of crimes while being in the U.S. illegally.
U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis said in a news release the pleas were entered Tuesday. Each pleaded guilty to one count of rioting in a federal correctional facility.
The inmates were Gerson Benavides, 30; Joel Oswaldo Ramirez-Nunez, 33; Humberto Cuellar, 41; Hiasom Ali, 36; Raybel Granillo, 29; Margarito Munoz-Astello, 37; Ricardo Quintana, 27; Ruben Coronado-Licon, 22; and Bertil James, 38. Davis said seven of the defendants are citizens of Mexico. Ali and James are citizens of Egypt and Trinidad and Tobago, respectively.
Each defendant faces a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and supervised release of three years. The defendants will be sentenced on May 29 and June 12.
Correction officer Catlin Carithers was killed and 20 people were injured as the riot grew to involve hundreds of inmates. They caused an estimated $1.3 million in damage.
The prison holds nearly 2,500 inmates, most of them convicted on charges of coming back to the U.S. after deportation for being in the country illegally.
The FBI has said in court records that the riot was started by a group of Mexican inmates, known as Paisas, who were angry about what they considered poor food and medical care and disrespectful guards. Paisas are a loosely affiliated group within the prison, without ties to organized gangs, the FBI has said.

Sarah Amelia Bardwell Wright
Graduation Date
Wesleyan College
One of the earliest members of the Philomathean Society, Sarah Amelia Bardwell (Wright) was listed as a Charter member of the society in the 1927 "History of Phi Mu Fraternity." Recognized for her artistic abilities, Sarah was given the task of designing a badge for the Philomathean Society. The design she created was a large, flat quatrefoil about 2-1/2 inches wide with a symbolic heart and hand engraved at the center and the open motto "Les Soeurs Fideles" (the faithful sisters).
Born on July 10, 1836, in Columbus, Georgia, Sarah was 15 years old when she joined the Philomathean Society. Sarah was the daughter of Sarah Sophia Sherman and Ralph Newton Ransome Bardwell, a prominent Georgia architect. She attended Montpelier Episcopal School and then Mt. Holyoke before entering Wesleyan College in or before 1852. She graduated from Wesleyan in 1853 and, a few weeks later, married Henry Horace Taft. Taft died young, however, and Sarah later married the Reverend Arminius Wright. Sarah is described as a woman who loved her church and, in her later years, became a prominent leader in church activities. She was also a charter member of the Memorial Association, a Southern women's organization that originated in Columbus, Georgia.
Before her death, Sarah presented her own badge to the Philomatheans, who had it mounted on rose velvet and placed in a square gold frame. This badge hung in the Philomathean Hall at Wesleyan until sororities were banned in 1914. When the Hall was closed, the badge became a part of the Phi Mu archives, where it still resides today.

Shihara () is a Union Parishad of Patnitala Upazila in Naogaon District in the Division of Rajshahi, Bangladesh.

Economy
Most of the people of this union depend on agriculture. Previously paddy was the main crop of this area. But the farmers faced financial loss in paddy cultivation so they started cultivating mango.
Mango is currently the main crop in the region. Many types of mango like Amrapali, Bari-4, Langra, Fazli, Ashwina, Khirsapati etc. are cultivated in about 80% of the land. Farmers are now benefited by cultivating mango.

In this lecture we will discuss overall subjects page layout with areas and tabs.
we finished up with a component in the navbar.
express that as the current location, as well as a distance criteria to be within.
what has met the criteria, as well as what is currently selected.
And what we'd like is those views to coexist on the same page, in areas.
view areas that our components are going to be placed into.
components and how they intercommunicate with one another.
two on the left, one on the right.
where it's going to be able to display a list of things and a list of images.
And the things that it displays will only be things that have associated images.
The lower left area, what I'm calling the details area.
like the description of the thing as well as an image viewer.
Yes, that same image viewer we built a couple modules ago.
On the right-hand side, called the map area.
And its primary component is going to be a map.
But we won't get to that until the next module.
The other components that it has inside of it are repeats of the other displays.
So being able to list things, images,the thing info, and the thing view.
It's just being able to see it in a larger area.
things are going to line up under one another and take the entire screen width.
Also, we'll have the ability to shrink and expand areas.
a pill area of what we can click on to get that area back.
to take up what was vacated by the shrunken display.
And it'll work for either case, whether we shrink the details or the subjects.
If we shrink both of them, the map area should expand to take the whole area.
the details area should take the entire screen themselves as well.
Each of the areas, you notice I had several components listed.
that we can click on in order to make a particular component in that area active.
So as we start this module, I've made two code changes prior to us getting started.
One is I turned off the verbosity of many of our console logging messages.
And two, I added a subjects page, registered with the navbar.
And it comes up with just a placeholder message.
unless we do an inspect of the page.
So at the source code level, here is our subject page.
This placeholder is just temporary, until we start adding things that are visible.
We'd like to be able to have some comfort that the page is displaying.
And I've marked it out as having three areas, subjects, details and a map.
I have registered with R app config as subjects_page_html.
I defined a state of subjects, and routing it to the page.
in the navbar in the navbar-html, I added a new drop down to the go to menu.
our subjects area is going to have two tabs in it, things and images.
that indicate the content that should go there.
In the details area, there are two more tabs of thing and image.
it really means that thing info and image viewer.
the list of images, thing info and the image viewer.
we can instantiate a component in many different places.
So if I refresh my display, you'll see our component placeholder showing up here.
that's at the top of the page, now that we have something that's displayable.
Okay, time to get started making this page look like a page cut into three areas.
one component is shown at a time, based upon which is the selected tab.
in this lecture we just looked at the overall subjects page layout.
images that meet the criteria of the distance within an origin.
As well as which of the images or things are deemed to be current.
We're going to divide our page up into three areas.
Those areas are going to be collapsible.
And each of the areas have many components.
And we're going to activate one component at a time per area using tabs.
leverage that in our subjects page.


While we can clearly see the trend to transfer the majority of marketing material to the virtual realm, companies continue to design and produce printed marketing material: Folders, brochures, catalogues, product sheets, case studies, testimonials and other printed material.
Why? Because they are more available, easier to browse through, read and even sniff the unique paper and printing aroma. One of our customers told us that when meeting new customers, the sound of the marketing kit being placed on the table, has a significant effect on the first impression made during the meeting.


First, I'd like to start this by saying that I had every intention of blogging my way through my pregnancy and sharing weekly updates. But then life happens and I my best-laid plans got derailed. Mostly for two reasons. First, it was all I could do to just go to work every day, get home, take a nap, try to eat and then go to bed in my first trimester. Second, I didn't feel like there was anything particularly unique or strange about my pregnancy that warranted writing about, honestly, once we got past the first few weeks, it was pretty uneventful that first trimester.
Backing up a little further, let's go back to the very beginning. Getting pregnant is tricky business. I started tracking when I was due to ovulate, researched the right kinds of foods to eat and best yoga positions for fertility and we were on our way. It took a full year after I went off the birth control and about 9 months of trying regularly. I remember thinking to myself, "If I'm not pregnant this month I'm going to the doctor to see what's going on." And then the delightful "Pregnant" displayed on the home test!
It's really hard to keep things under wraps those first few months. First, because many of our friends knew that we were trying and so whenever we went out I had to make realistic excuses for why I wasn't drinking. My favorite excuse that I used was that I was feeling really gassy and bloated and didn't feel like drinking. It's super funny to see reactions when you tell someone you're gassy. By the way, that was 100 percent true, I just didn't tell them that the reason I was so gassy and bloated was because I was pregnant.
Sidebar: If you're wondering if someone is pregnant, and you know they are trying (or even if you don't know), please don't ask. It's so annoying to have to either lie or tell someone before you're ready when you flat out get asked if you're pregnant. This happened to me at least three times and it was so frustrating.
My main symptoms during early pregnancy were extreme exhaustion (forget working out ever, all I wanted to do was sleep) and nausea. I didn't actually ever throw up in my first trimester, but I was almost constantly nauseous and most of the time I had to force myself to eat because I knew I needed to, but nothing sounded good.
There is so much pressure around how you tell people these days. We decided to avoid that and went the simple route. My parents are divorced so we told each group separately but in the same week. And we wanted to do it in person so the first group came over for dinner during the week, and we went to the other group a few days later for dinner (we were going to be there anyway to see my brother perform in a play, so it was perfect timing).
We made sure to ask (almost) everyone not to say anything until we publicly announced it ourselves. Unfortunately, we forgot to mention that tidbit to one person who promptly posted about it on Facebook.
Note to loved ones out there: I know you're excited, but this is not your news to share. Wait until you've seen something posted on the parents' pages before you go spreading the word on their behalf. Not cool.
Luckily, we didn't have too many common connections and the news was still a surprise a week later when we made the reveal!

New York—Mayor de Blasio today announced that his administration financed 32,116 affordable homes last year, breaking the all-time record previously set by former Mayor Ed Koch in 1989 of 25,243 units. The City also broke the record for the most new construction with 9,140 affordable homes; almost 60 percent of all homes financed will serve New Yorkers making less than $47,000 for a family of three. Additionally, the Mayor announced the formation of the Tenant Anti-Harassment Unit that will be dedicated to pursuing potential cases of maintenance harassment in multi-family residential buildings and connecting tenants to legal services resources, a complement to the City's efforts against construction as harassment.
"We have established a blueprint for building, for preservation – for overall affordability. We're keeping people in their houses, never giving up a square foot of affordable housing, and increasing the supply of new homes. As neighborhoods grow and change, our work ensures that affordable housing will always be a part of our city," said Alicia Glen, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development.
To celebrate this historic milestone, the Mayor handed Destiny Armstead the keys to her new home at 1561 Walton, a new 60-unit building near the Jerome Avenue area in the Bronx, one of several neighborhoods that was recently rezoned to apply the City's new Mandatory Inclusionary Housing policy. The Mayor was joined by Council Members Fernando Cabrera, Vanessa Gibson, and Ydanis Rodriguez, who have been working closely with the administration to develop comprehensive plans for their communities. Developed by non-profit Settlement Housing Fund, 1561 Walton was part of a major wave of construction financed early in the de Blasio administration that has now rented up. Built on City-owned land and a former parking lot, the project is adjacent to New Settlement Apartments, a signature Koch-era portfolio with 900 homes in 14 buildings that was recently preserved by HPD. Renovations, including the installation of solar panels that will help ensure the long-term affordability and sustainability of the building, were recently completed. Settlement Housing Fund also financed the renovation of the beautiful children's playground across the street.
"Making good on the promises of Housing New York, we set an all-time record for affordable housing production in New York City," said Department of Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer. "With 32,116 affordable homes, 2018 also marks the most new construction in history. A full 57 percent of those homes will serve some of the city's lowest income families. By advancing developments on large public sites, implementing policies to require more affordable housing on private sites, pushing to secure the affordability of large Mitchell-Lamas, and seeing new programs to reach small buildings take hold, among other initiatives, we surpassed the new baseline established in HNY 2.0. Our work is far from done. That is why today we also launch a new Tenant Anti-Harassment Unit at HPD to expand our efforts to combat harassment and displacement. All of these results are a testament to our partners and the devoted HPD and HDC teams. I want to thank them and the Mayor and Deputy Mayor for their vision and ongoing commitment to a building a fairer, more affordable city."
"Like so many New Yorkers, finding affordable housing remains a primary concern for older adults living on limited incomes. Preserving affordable housing helps more seniors remain in the communities where they raised their families and have a network of formal and informal supports, which are essential for them to age in place," said Department for the Aging Commissioner Donna Corrado.
"As we plan for the future of New York City, it is vital that we remain a city for all. Through Mandatory Inclusionary Housing and other programs, we are creating unprecedented levels of affordable housing for today and tomorrow's New Yorkers," said Department of City Planning Director Marisa Lago.
The cornerstone of the Mayor's housing plan continues to be the preservation of affordability in existing buildings, many of which are in need of physical and financial assistance or face expiring protections. Last year, the City used a wide array of programs and tools to extend affordability and finance needed improvements in 22,976 homes. This preservation work is key to keeping people in their homes and neighborhoods, and accompanies a robust set of strategies to combat displacement, including a new citywide Certification of No Harassment Program, a Speculation Watch List, and now a new HPD Tenant Anti-Harassment Unit.
The newly established Tenant Anti-Harassment Unit will have ten dedicated staff, including two attorneys to initiate litigation against unscrupulous owners and landlords. The new Unit will use data analysis to identify potential buildings and portfolios where harassment is occurring; respond to emergency complaints; partner closely with the Department of Buildings and other agencies to address issues in buildings where maintenance as harassment has been identified; and connect tenants with legal services resources.
The record-breaking progress of the last fiscal year brings the total number of homes financed under HNY to date to 109,767, exceeding the original goal established in Housing New York, and the new target set last year in Housing New York 2.0. Through HNY 2.0, the Mayor committed to accelerate and expand the pace of Housing New York to achieve 300,000 affordable apartments by 2026 – 100,000 more than initially planned. Already the City had ramped up to produce more than 20,000 affordable homes a year, and now, has achieved a new baseline of 25,000 affordable apartments a year, ahead of schedule.
The total direct City investment under the Mayor's housing plan last year was $1.582 billion, and the total bond financing issued by the New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) was over $1.6 billion in bonds. To date, the City has spent $4.375 billion in City subsidy, which includes City capital, HDC Corporate Reserves, and Reso-A. In total, HDC issued bonds worth more than $7.1 billion since the start of the plan.
Rezoning Areas / City Owned Land: Made progress on large public sites in rezoning and urban renewal areas like Coney Island, East New York, Far Rockaway, and Downtown Jamaica, financing 1,390 new homes. These are some of the 2,513 newly constructed units financed on public land last year; bringing the total under HNY to 8,844 homes.
421a: Produced 760 affordable apartments across 64 projects through 421a with no additional City funding. This doubles the number of stand-alone units created, most of which are in high-cost neighborhoods.
Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH): Doubled the production created through MIH to 805 permanently affordable homes. The City is tracking 8,500 MIH units through rezoning applications; including 4,900 MIH apartments in 51 projects approved by Council that have not yet closed.
Seniors: Launched Aging in Place, part of our new Seniors First program, and closed the first project to ensure seniors in preservation projects get the improvements they need to stay in their apartments and age in place. Last year saw the most senior housing with 1,888 apartments; bringing the total number of senior homes produced under HNY to 6,507.
Homeownership: Financed the first Open Door homeownership project that will create 56 new affordable coops. This is among the 7,203 affordable homeownership opportunities created or preserved last year for a total of 18,147 under the plan.
Mitchell-Lamas: Secured the continued affordability of 13,137 coops and apartments in Mitchell-Lama developments, including Masyrk Towers, Ruppert House, Franklin Plaza Apartments, and Starrett City, the largest federally subsidized development in the nation. This brings the total of Mitchell-Lama homes and apartments preserved under HNY to 29,356.
Landlord Ambassador Program:Closed the first three projects with 100 units through the new Landlord Ambassador Program, created with community-based non-profits to help small building owners stabilize and upgrade their properties and ensure future affordability.
Green Housing Preservation Program: Financed much needed energy efficiency improvements to shore up the affordability of 1,262 apartments, representing a 760% increase in the program's production from last year.
M/WBE Build Up: Program spurred 61 projects with 10,155 apartments to set and meet M/WBE participation goals that are expected to generate over $275 million in spending. To date, 81 projects have been required to participate in the program for a combined expected spending amount of $344 million.
Housing Connect:HPD and HDC marketed 16,279 HNY affordable apartments through Housing Connect, connecting 41,000 New Yorkers to a new home. In total, HPD and HDC marketed 7,834 apartments last year, a 700% increase compared to 2014, and updated its guidelines to speed up the delivery of affordable housing and ensure those homes serve the New Yorkers who need them most.
Homeless and Supportive Housing: The agencies revamped virtually all of their development programs to include homeless set-asides, and as a result financed 2,318 affordable homes for the homeless last year, bringing the total to 8,948 under the plan. In part, this includes the 1,145 supportive housing apartments financed last year, including 500 congregate apartments towards the Mayor's commitment through New York 15/15 to create 15,000 supportive homes in 15 years. In total, the City has financed 4,094 supportive housing apartments.
"It's imperative that New York City reach its goal of building and preserving 300,000 affordable housing units by 2026, and thanks to the leadership of Mayor de Blasio and the NYC Housing Development Corporation, we are well on our way to achieving this," said Congressman Joe Crowley, Chair of the House Democratic Caucus. "Our city is facing an affordability crisis, which is why expanding access to affordable housing is an absolute top priority for our local leaders. I applaud city officials for this tremendous achievement and look forward to breaking this record once again over the next fiscal year."
"Access to affordable housing continues to be a challenge for the residents of the Bronx and the rest of New York City. Today's announcement of record breaking affordable housing production will bring relief to thousands of New Yorkers. Thanks to Mayor de Blasio and his administration, New York City is closer to meeting the goal of building or preserving 300,000 much needed affordable housing units by 2026," said Congressman José E. Serrano.
"Affordable housing is a critical asset to our community and the nation," said Congressman Adriano Espaillat. "It remains critical that we continue our efforts to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing is accessible for all New York City residents and families."
"Tenant harassment is 100% illegal, but for years it's been obvious that we need to find new models to prevent and prosecute it," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "This HPD enforcement unit could be that model, and I look forward to seeing how it helps in the fight to protect tenants and preserve affordable housing. I thank the Administration for its continued focus on tenants and affordable housing."
"Preserving affordable housing options for New Yorkers feeling the crunch of an increased cost of living is essential to maintaining the quality and character of the many neighborhoods that make up this diverse city. I commend Commissioner Torres-Springer and Mayor de Blasio for their commitment to preserving affordable units and for allocating the resources necessary to make sure more New Yorkers than ever can afford to stay in their homes," said Council Member Robert Cornegy, Chair of the Committee on Housing and Buildings.
"Affordable housing is one of the most critical issues in my district. More than 70% of the constituents who come to my district office are there for help because they need safe, decent and affordable housing. Preservation of existing affordable units and creation of new affordable units is absolutely necessary in order to meet the overwhelming housing need in New York City," said Council Member Fernando Cabrera. "The Housing New York 2.0 goal of 300,000 units built and preserved by 2026 is very ambitious. But I'm proud that we made great progress in 2018 with the creation and preservation of the most affordable units in the history of New York City, including 1561 Walton Avenue."
"I'm thrilled to join the Mayor to announce this year's unprecedented levels of affordable housing creation and preservation. This work is critical to keeping our neighborhoods vibrant and strong. I worked hard to achieve a balanced Jerome Avenue neighborhood plan with my community, the administration, and colleague Council Member Cabrera so that we could ensure the creation of permanently affordable housing in our neighborhood for generations to come. And with tools like certificate of no harassment, access to counsel, and now the new anti-tenant harassment unit, we can protect and preserve the housing we have," said Council Member Vanessa Gibson.
"It is more important than ever to expand on the city's tools to protect tenants as bad landlords constantly try to displace tenants in order to raise rents. This new unit is a step in the right direction that can ensure tenants are able to stay in their home and are protected from harassment and displacement," said Council Member Ritchie Torres.
"Addressing the citywide housing crisis requires a sustained, long-term commitment to create and preserve affordable housing, engage in proactive outreach to help families in danger of eviction stay in their homes, and ensure that every resident feels safe and secure at home. As we celebrate a new milestone in the City's efforts to achieve these goals, I am thrilled that HPD is taking additional action to invest in more resources to put an end to tenant harassment," said Council Member Margaret Chin. "As the Council Member representing historically diverse and affordable neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan, I look forward to continuing working with Mayor De Blasio, Commissioner Torres-Springer and residents to ensure that our shared vision for a more affordable city becomes a reality."
"The only real solution to the city's housing crisis is to build permanent, affordable housing, and I commend the mayor's efforts. As we continue to inch closer to the City's 300,000 unit goal, I look forward to seeing what new and innovative programs the Mayor's Office can implement to increase the density and depth of affordability throughout the five boroughs," said Council Member Carlina Rivera.
"My work in housing and tenants' rights, both as an organizer and since I took office, has focused largely on fighting back against tenant harassment and unscrupulous landlords who put profit ahead of people. This new Tenant Anti-Harassment Unit is a vital addition to HPD- a focus on enforcement against tenant harassment, in combination with the package of legislation that I recently passed with my colleagues, will help to meaningfully combat the rampant harassment that we see. Preventing such harassment, and holding accountable those perpetrate it, is essential to creating an environment in which tenants are safe and secure in their homes. I thank the administration for creating this entity, and look forward to working with it to protect tenants across the city," said Council Member Jumaane Williams.
"This is a great achievement accomplished by the dedicated staff at HPD and HDC, public servants who work tirelessly to move the needle on housing affordability," said Rachel Fee, Executive Director of New York Housing Conference. "New York Housing Conference congratulates the agency leaders and their staff."
"Mayor de Blasio's robust and collaborative approach to addressing the housing crisis continues to have life-changing impacts for tens of thousands of families across the five boroughs," said Jolie Milstein, president and CEO of the New York State Association for Affordable Housing (NYSAFAH). "It's crucial to continue working with all stakeholders to maximize production of the affordable homes that New Yorkers need – and NYSAFAH members remain committed to doing their part every day."
"Kudos to Mayor de Blasio and his housing team on reaching this milestone! We're thrilled that the City's achievements this year include creating significant new opportunities for affordable homeownership, such as its Open Door initiative and an expanded down payment assistance program," said Christie Peale, CEO and Executive Director of the Center for NYC Neighborhoods. "So many New Yorkers want to share in the economic opportunities of our city, and the Mayor's vision and commitment to Housing New York 2.0 is critical to making those dreams come true."
"The Network is grateful to see the City's strong commitment to supportive housing as part of the Housing New York plan. At a time when we need to deploy all the available tools to address the homelessness crisis, we applaud the acceleration of capital funding in the budget to increase development of supportive housing from 500 to 700 units per year," said Laura Mascuch, Executive Director of the Supportive Housing Network of New York.
"SAGE congratulates Mayor de Blasio and the NYC Housing and Preservation Department (HPD) on this achievement," says SAGE CEO Michael Adams. "We are excited to continue our partnership with HPD in creating affordable senior housing that is LGBT-friendly in both Brooklyn and the Bronx, opening in 2019."
"As a nonprofit property owner and developer, MBD Community Housing Corp. stands proud in support of the City in its efforts to provide safe, clean and affordable housing to its residents," said Derrick Lovett, President and CEO of MBD Community Housing Corporation.

Why on earth, you may wonder, do some MPs think they're entitled to claim thousands of pounds of our money as expenses without submitting any receipts? Well, perhaps it's because they reckon there's an unwritten agreement that they can bump up their salaries (currently £61,280 pa), which many of them regard as ridiculously inadequate, by claiming a bit extra on expenses.
(There's a story, in fact, that back in the days of Harold Wilson, his Chief Whip, Bob Mellish, told Labour MPs something to the effect: "Look lads, don't push for a big pay rise. Load as much as you can on your expenses.")
Here's what MPs are told in the "Green Book" that they're given when they enter the House of Commons: "It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself when you submit a claim, or authorise payments from your staffing allowance, that any expenditure claimed from the allowances has been wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred for the purpose of performing your Parliamentary duties."
As for their housing allowance, in answer to the question "What can I claim?" the rules say: "Only those additional costs wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred to enable you to stay overnight away from your only or main UK residence, either in London or in the constituency … We require receipts for items of expenditure of £250 or more (except for food), and for all hotel bills. If you are claiming rental or mortgage interest we ask for a copy of your rental agreement or your latest mortgage interest statement."
In other words, under the current rules, anything they claim up to £250 doesn't need a receipt, nor does anything they claim for food. I have no evidence that this arrangement is abused, but it wouldn't entirely surprise me if, sometimes, something slips through that strictly speaking shouldn't.
I do not intend to go into the detail of some of the recent allegations that have been made about certain MPs. There are various inquiries, reviews and what-have-yous under way which, in due course, maybe, will resolve some of the issues that have been in the headlines over the past few weeks. My hunch is that the current "we're-all-honourable-gentlemen" arrangements are about to come to a shuddering halt.
An information appeal tribunal ruled this week that MPs should disclose in detail what they buy with the money they claim under the so-called additional costs allowance: how much goes on heating, how much on phone bills and so on. One Labour MP called the decision "absurd and ridiculous". "It will end," he said, "with people writing about how much MPs are paying for a pint of milk."
All of which contrasts rather neatly with the way they do things in the US. Suppose you have a burning desire to know how much Hillary Clinton's campaign team have been spending on refreshments. No problem: the New York Times election blog reported this week (after what it called "an hour-long investigation") that they handed over $1,884.83 at Dunkin' Donuts in New Hampshire, Florida and Virginia, and another $505.02 at Krispy Kremes in South Carolina.
I can also reveal (and you'll wonder how you've managed to get along without this information) that the Republican front-runner John McCain spent $923.70 to Mitt Romney's $992.91 at Dunkin' Donuts, but also forked out another $116.79 on Krispy Kremes in Reno, Nevada. (Barack Obama's bakeries bill comes in at $1,877.28 – so what I want to know is, how come he's so slim?)
The point is, perhaps, that the machinery of politics does not necessarily seize up if we know what politicians are spending. I am perfectly happy to accept that, by and large, they're as honest a bunch as the rest of us. But I'm not sure it would matter all that much if MPs did have to tell us how much they spent on milk each week, if they used our money to buy it. Boring, yes. Absurd and ridiculous? Quite possibly. But not necessarily an outrageous imposition on the people we employ to run the country.
After all, I imagine you have to tell your employers in some detail what you spend their money on. I know I do.
My text this week comes from Robert Chote, the director of the highly respected and impeccably neutral Institute for Fiscal Studies. He was quoted a couple of days ago in the Financial Times as follows: "A weak chancellor, an interfering Prime Minister, a self-interested business lobby and an opportunistic opposition is not a combination designed to deliver good tax reform."
Harsh? Maybe – but after the headlines this week over tax arrangements for the "non-doms" (does anyone actually know someone who is a non-dom?), which themselves followed similar headlines over a change to the government's proposals over Capital Gains Tax, you may think that Mr Chote is not being entirely unfair.
So let's take his list of culprits one by one and try to unpick what's going on here. (Non-doms, by the way, are foreigners who live in the UK, but who keep the bulk of their wealth outside the UK, and who are allowed to escape paying tax on it, save for those bits that are either earned here or are sent here. There are, apparently, more than 100,000 of them, mostly working in banking, insurance and shipping. They're called non-doms because the Inland Revenue classifies them as "non-domiciled residents for tax purposes". )
First, the weak chancellor: well, no one thought it'd be easy running the Treasury while Gordon Brown was Prime Minister. But Alistair Darling, who is one of those rare politicians whose ambition has traditionally been to keep as low a profile as possible, has had more than his fair share of bad luck. And whereas until he took up his current job, he had a reputation at Westminster as a safe pair of hands, he's now beginning to look like a serial fumbler.
An interfering Prime Minister? The word is that Mr Brown has been taking a very close interest in his successor's handling of the Treasury brief – no surprise there, then – and let's not forget that both the capital gains tax and the non-doms proposals were born in the febrile snap-election hysteria of last autumn. Not the best atmosphere, I'd suggest, for drawing up complex tax reform plans.
Next, we come to that self-interested business lobby. M'lud, I call in evidence Digby Jones, currently employed as a trade minister but in a former existence the director of the employers' organisation the CBI. He broke ranks with his colleagues last week to warn that their proposals on taxing non-doms risked chasing away skilled foreign workers and threatened London's status as a world financial centre.
Well, maybe, and there again, maybe not. But clearly there was a powerful campaign under way, and on Tuesday, with as much grace as he could muster, Mr Darling (or rather his colleague Yvette Cooper) unveiled some "clarifications". The proposal to make non-doms pay £30,000 a year in order to retain their preferential status remains in place, but other ideas, like making them declare everything they own, wherever it is, have gone. The Treasury people insist they never meant that to be in the plan anyway; the suggestion is that some over-enthusiastic nosey parkers at the Inland Revenue slipped it in when they thought no one was looking.
Finally, an opportunistic opposition. Fraser Nelson of The Spectator put it this way: "If there is an award for a brass neck of 2008, George Osborne has just done enough to win it. First, he proposes a tax on the non-doms … then Darling nicks it in his infamous magpie budget ... Today Osborne has written an "open letter" to Darling asking him to repeal [it]."
It's been half term at Westminster this week, so there's been plenty of opportunity for the opposition and the political correspondents to play Let's-Get-Darling. I suspect, though, that like many chancellors before him, he's playing a rather useful role as lightning conductor to protect the PM. He's got a budget to announce next month, and I predict it'll be greeted with jeers and scorn, whatever it contains. As Gordon Brown himself used to observe: there are only two kinds of chancellor – those who fail, and those who get out in time.
I get some lovely emails sometimes. Like this one, which arrived a couple of days ago while I was in Chicago.
"Why are you covering the US primaries in such detail?" it asked. "They are just not relevant to a UK audience. Why do we care? I have just had to turn off The World Tonight because I simply couldn't take any more of it. It was either that or die of boredom."
Well, excuse me. Not relevant? Why do we care? Maybe because it matters who runs the most powerful country in the world. Because we really need to understand who the next US president will be, and how he or she got to the White House. Because to understand the US, we need to understand what US voters think, about their country and the world.
Not relevant if for the first time in the country's history the US president is a woman? Or a black man? Does anyone really not care about the politics of the country that exerts greater military and economic influence than any other power on earth?
Sorry, but to me it seems obvious. Nor do I accept the criticism that we "only" cover US elections. You may recall that I wrote about the Serbian elections last week – and Ray Furlong was in Belgrade to report on the outcome. Next month, I'll be in Madrid to report on the Spanish elections. I reckon that I must have reported on elections in more than a dozen different countries over the past few years, from Iran to Zimbabwe, Israel to Russia.
So now I'm writing this on the plane back to London, after Super Tuesday primaries which told us quite a lot about American voters, and about the leading candidates, but which still didn't give us a definitive answer on who the Democratic party candidate will be in November.
Mind you, as I wrote in my blog last Monday (before the Super Tuesday primaries and before his rival Mitt Romney "suspended" his campaign), John McCain is now certain to be the Republican party candidate. He's a former Vietnam prisoner of war, tough on security, more moderate on social and economic issues. He voted against President Bush on tax cuts, and co-sponsored a proposal with arch-liberal Edward Kennedy on granting an amnesty to illegal immigrants. He is deeply distrusted by the conservative wing of his party, who call him a RINO (Republican In Name Only). Some even say they'd rather see Hillary Clinton in the White House than Senator McCain.
As for Mrs Clinton and Barack Obama, it's neck and neck. She does better among women, the less well-off and older and Hispanic voters; he does better among the young, the educated, the better-off, and black voters. He seems to have the greater momentum and more campaign cash; but she has a formidable campaign team and either of them could still emerge as the eventual nominee.
As for what will happen in November, I'm now prepared to stick my neck out: I think the Democrats will win. It's a little remarked upon fact that Senator McCain won most of his victories on Tuesday in states (six out of nine) where in the last three presidential elections, the Democrats have won. So they may have helped him win the nomination, but they probably won't help him win the White House.
If I'm right, that means the next US president will be either a woman, or black. I reckon that's pretty interesting. So is this: David Frum, a leading conservative commentator and former speech writer for George Bush, wrote in the Financial Times yesterday: "The conservative ascendancy in American politics is coming to an end … the stage has been set for the boldest and most dramatic redirection of US politics since (Ronald) Reagan's first year in office."
Relevant? I think so …

Supplemental Draft Prospect: Sam Beal
A lot of hype is surrounding this Western Michigan cornerback. Should the Bucs be paying attention?
By David_Harrison@DHarrison82 Jul 10, 2018, 12:30pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Supplemental Draft Prospect: Sam Beal
One day away from the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft, we look at a second defensive back prospect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have certainly looked at themselves.
NAME: SAM BEAL
SCHOOL: WESTERN MICHIGAN
POSITION: DEFENSIVE BACK
YEARS IN COLLEGE: 3 (2015-2018)
GAMES WATCHED:
WM @ BUFFALO (2017): 2 TACKLES (2 SOLO), 1 FORCED FUMBLE
WM @ EASTERN MICHIGAN (2017): 5 TACKLES (4 SOLO), 1 INTERCEPTION, 1 PASS DEFENDED
WM VS CENTRAL MICHIGAN (2017): 3 PASSES DEFENDED
All stats gathered from sports-reference.com
- Good strength when playing in press
- Able to mirror opposing receivers with little trouble
- Solid play speed
- Tackling mechanics lack refinement
- Not the most willing run support cornerback
- Can get knocked off balance by strong receivers countering his own physicality
- Possible durability concerns
Sam Beal has about as much hype a supplementary draft player can have. There are rumors of teams like the Kansas City Chiefs possibly flying one of their two 2019 second-round picks to get him.
Most reports seem to think he'll be a third-round selection this Wednesday. What do I think? Well, first let's talk about what I saw.
He's got the height and length and played bigger than he weighed at his pro day. Assuming he packs on some more muscle and comes up a bit in his playing weight, I think his build is just fine to play in the NFL.
Playing in 32 games in three seasons at Western Michigan, Beal escaped serious injury but did have a series of smaller injuries which might concern some.
He's got the strength to play in the press and actually has a fairly decent left jab to help knock releasing receivers off their timing. Against pro receivers I don't see it being as successful, and he'll have to learn a new trick or two, but the ability seems to be there.
When playing off, Beal mirrors well and has good movement in his hips even though his feet seem to get a little flat when playing against receivers he doesn't necessarily respect the speed of.
Speed is another topic of conversation. He's not a burner, but he doesn't need to be. He just needs to be fast enough to stay with his receiver. When playing against faster guys he may not be able to press as much but given the head-start corners get against speed guys, he should be just fine.
One issue I saw watching him was his willingness to go off-script from time-to-time. Twice he was beaten badly against Buffalo. Once he was able to catch-up and force a turnover...
…but the second time, he wasn't so fortunate, and it turned into a big score for the Buffalo Bulls.
There were other instances of Beal biting too easily or uncovering his own man to make a play elsewhere which would have NFL quarterbacks salivating at the double moves and arm pumps they could use to manipulate the young defender.
Tackling has been something he's been knocked for, and for good reason. His technique is lacking and his effort as a run-stopper is questionable at best. When forced into action he has flashed the ability to tackle rather well, but it's not something he does willingly.
Overall, he's a better prospect than the other top corner in this year's supplementary class, Adonis Alexander.
It helps that Beal is a former receiver who shows his ball-tracking skills gained from his time at the position.
While I wouldn't endorse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spending a second-round pick on him, I wouldn't be angry if they spent a third.
It's likely they'll have to go at least that high if they want him. Honestly, I'd feel more comfortable with a fourth-round pick just because of his string of minor dings and occasional lack of discipline opening the door for the opposition.

Lady Pintos season ends in overtime loss to Robertson
Nov 3, 2016 | Sports | 0 |
In front of the largest crowd in years at a Moriarty girls soccer game—with fans lining the entire east side of the field from goal line to goal line—the Lady Pintos' season ended last Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss at the hands of the visiting Robertson Lady Cardinals.
After 89 minutes of battling the ninth-seeded Lady Cardinals in the first round of the Class A-4A state playoffs, a free kick—following a questionable call by one of the officials—got past goalkeeper Sage Bond leaving the Lady Pintos heartbroken but hopeful for next year.
"It was close, very close, but that's just the name of the game," Moriarty's head coach Val Luker said.

With the score knotted at 1-1 and a minute remaining in overtime, an airborne ball grazed off Moriarty's Jean Shelly Massey. The official blew the whistle and called it a hand-ball, awarding Robertson a game-altering direct free kick from 20 yards out.
"The ref thought it was a hand ball," Bond said after the game.
The high-arcing free kick sailed toward the goal, Bond went up for it with both hands, but it slipped through her fingertips and fell to the ground where Robertson's Victoria Valdez kicked it in.
"I thought I had it but I kinda lost my footing, then it went behind me and she was able to tap it in," Bond said. She had 13 saves.
Moriarty's Ashley Strader echoed Bond's observation on the call. "It hit Jean Shelly's back, it hit right here," Strader said tapping the back of her shoulder.
"And that cost us," Luker added.
Some other calls in the game also proved to be costly for Moriarty.
In the first half, Strader was moving into a possible scoring position and was called for being offsides—a penalty when an attacking player gets ahead of the defenders between the ball and the opposing team's goal.
"I was not offsides on that one," Strader said.
Also in the first half, Massey launched a corner kick that teammate Rhiannon Moya tapped into the net for what appeared to be Moriarty's first goal.
But one of the officials nullified the goal saying the ball had sailed behind the goal line before the wind brought it back onto the field.
The wind eventually proved to be an issue the entire game, carrying several shots beyond their mark as well as blowing tumbleweeds up and down the pitch. At one point Robertson's coach yelled, "Can we please clear the field of all these tumbleweeds?"

In the final minutes of the first half, Valdez slipped a shot past Bond to give the Lady Cardinals a 1-0 lead. Moriarty regrouped during the break and came out strong in the second half.
The Lady Pintos relentlessly penetrated Robertson's side of the field and took numerous shots that either sailed off frame or were stopped by Robertson's goalkeeper, who had 16 saves.
"The wind was a little tough," Strader said. "And their goalie was good, I'll give it to her, she was really good."
Then, in the 66th minute, Strader nailed a shot from 10 yards out to tie the score at 1-1. Immediately following the goal she and teammate Chloe Rector bear-hugged each other in a jubilant embrace.
"I was pumped, I totally screamed so loud, I was like, 'ASHLEY!'" Rector said. "It was such a good moment."
The Lady Pintos continued to attack but the score remained deadlocked through the end of regulation.
During overtime Moriarty had a chance to claim a possible victory with Strader, Moya and Rector taking shots, including one that hit the left upright and another that missed wide right by just a few inches.
"We were firing and firing but we just could not get the ball in the back of the net," Strader said.
In the end the eighth-seeded Lady Pintos (10-10-1), who were making their first postseason appearance since 2009, gained valuable experience that will carry over to next season.
"It was good to come this far," Strader said.
"And we're just going to pick up the momentum," added Luker. "I'm looking forward to next year."
