Unique Property Bulletin – Latest Addition: 16th July 2019
Converted Police Station For Sale
This Fine Example of An Old Nick Is Sentenced For £425,000.
A Case of Serendipity, Sleuthing & Securing Your Sanctuary.
The Old Police Station, Lancaster New Road, Cabus, Preston, Lancashire, PR3 1AD
A few days ago, I was chatting to a friend about old Dixon of Dock Green episodes and the kindly bobby on the beat actor portrayed by the inimitable Jack Warner. This directly led to today's latest listing. A converted police station – and a fine looking one at that. So much so, it has been sculpted by a world class ornament maker.
Actor Jack Warner In His Most Famous Role: Dixon of Dock Green
My friend, Keith I'Anson, was chatting away about "old school" style policing. Jack Warner personified that. The series ran for 432 episodes, from 1955 to 1976 and was one of the reasons I ended up joining up in 1983. Later in the day today, whilst sleuthing about for a fresh listing to add to this Bulletin, I couldn't get the Dixon theme tune out of my head. Anyway, it must have affected the old cranial cogs as our feature property ended up being detected as a result. Serendipity for someone out there. Our batting average for introducing unique property buyers and sellers is getting better as time lags by. No time off for good behaviour at this end of things either. Moved over from plodding beats and blue-light-landrovers to a more sedate tapping of keyboards and arresting the odd cop-shop.
Unique Property Bulletin Editor Russ McLean & Sheena McGillivray
By Port Ellen Police Station, Island of Islay Around 1987.
It is strange how a totally random conversation with a good friend can result in a fair chance of introducing one of our readers to their new home. Even by Unique Property Bulletin standards, this is a bit bizarre. I was gifted a model of a police station around 1998 and it has been sitting in the office for years. We actually ran a series of competitions in the main Bulletin, with a different genre of building/ornament given away each week as the prize. Here is the one from our UPB-HQ shelf (it was an inbound present from a previous career so never made it properly onto the Unique Property Bulletin prize list) …
Lilliput Land Model of A Police Station (here and here)
Now today, 16th July 2019, I've also been looking for old police stations to buy for the new UPB-HQ offices so that our small team, including Keith, can get up to mischief renovating a unique property for the eponymous Bulletin. Then all of a sudden, what should appear on my radar but the actual police station that the highly popular Lilliput Lane ornament was modelled on…
It took a moment to register that we had this very police station in model form on the office shelf.
Photo courtesy of Humphrey Bolton.
I knew this actual police station reminded me of somewhere. A chronic case of deja vu all day. Then I looked across the office and a small version of it was sitting a few feet away from me, as it had done for 20 years! The models currently retail for between £10 and £60. The actual building is a tad more at £425,000. But it has been fully renovated and converted from a cop shop to a very comfortable home…
This particular police station for sale in Preston wouldn't suit our own unique property club efforts. But it may be a handsome catch for someone living in that area. If I was wanting to move to Lancashire, this would be on my identity parade. How about you? Seriously, if you do buy this, please let us know (UPB: Tel/Text: 0793 557 2803). Thanks.
The completed conversion of this blue light home has the current rooms configured as…
Bespoke Family Kitchen
Private Walled Garden
There is also a contemporary two-storey extension that has been added.
We are still trying to work out which rooms were used as the old police cells. The old anecdote about having a "secure" granny flat for the mother-in-law still appeal to some buyers.

Unique Property Bulletin – Earlier Listing: 11th July 2019
Converted Water Tower For Sale
This Water Tower Guide At: £1,500,000.
Unique Property Bulletin are looking for the BEFORE versions of various unique structures AND the ECCENTRIC folk who renovate them to appear on a new television programme format hosted by architect and television presenter Mr George Clarke. For example here is one that featured on an earlier television episode…
The new series format is close to our hearts, in that it centres upon "unique" property of the style and genre to detailed in these pages for the past 26 years.
Converting an A to Z of Unique Properties to Homes: Air Control Towers, Barns, Castles, Distilleries, Engine Houses, Follies, Gun Towers, Hotels, Islands, Jails, Keeper's Cottages, Lighthouses, Monorial Ruins, Nuclear Bunkers, Oast Houses, Police Stations, Railways Stations, Signal Boxes, Telephone Booster Stations, Underground Dwellings, Zoos.
If you have a project ready to start and you are interested in sharing the progress of your unique property conversion via George Clarke's new television series, please consider getting in touch with us. Text or telephone 0793 557 2803.
Meanwhile, we have this exquisite water tower conversion which was featured on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces series (click here).
As for Cromwell Water Tower, this building was originally featured in Unique Property Bulletin during July 2012 (here) at £335,000. In fact that link illustrates the extensive back-catalogue of unusual properties that are currently online and form a useful treasure chest for anyone looking to buy an interesting building that may have fallen off of the radar.
Several older listings in earlier Unique Property Bulletin are no longer actively for sale. But if you dig into our back-issue archives and write a courteous letter you may secure a brilliant new home. If perchance, you reach the owner at just the right time, when they may be considering re-listing their property.
We know this is true and works as we have followed our own advice and bought unique properties out of old issues of the Bulletin.
Onto this latest addition…
Cromwell Tower For Sale…
Cromwell Tower, Cromwell Lane, Burton Green, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 1PN
Here at Unique Property Bulletin we have seen many water towers over the years, but this example for sale is, as Sheldon Cooper might say: Brobdingnagian. The price tag is quite meaty, but you are getting a lot of building for your money.
6 Floors.
6 Bedrooms.
4 Reception Rooms.
5 Bathrooms.
Gym.
Roof Terrace.
Secondary Accommodation.
Our own view, given we featured this building in 2012, guided at £335,000 and the fact it seems to have hung around on the for sale lists for OVER A YEAR…
…since being put up for sale – we would recommend buyers consider an opening offer around £950,000. The owners' would likely cough and splutter over their morning cornflakes (and curse our website). But this may well help start negotiations which is far better than this magnificent home laying in the doldrums. The ideal is to meet in the middle. In our bones we reckon the price should sit around the £1,250,000 mark. Opening your offer just under the million may facilitate both parties to approach each other towards a financial sweet-spot where a sale/purchase could result.
Here are a selection of photographs to illustrate what a million pound+ water tower conversion looks like…
This 75ft-high water tower – with more than 14,000sq ft of floorspace, was built in 1930 for the Corporation of Coventry and decommissioned in 2004. It was originally bought for just £25,000 at auction in 2009, but without planning permission.
The first private owner obtained planning permission and sold it to the current owners, as a post-industrial shell, in 2013. The current owners then spent quite a lot of time, effort and money to bring this old structure back to a meanigful life…
This building was converted in 2016 from a redundant water tower and retains a wealth of original features combined with contemporary fixtures and fittings, making this an outstanding 21st century home. EPC rating: C,
The ground floor has a reception hall, gives access to a self-contained guest suite. The suite, which can also be accessed externally through its own private entrance, comprises a sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room and would be ideal for multi-generational living.
Cromwell Tower: Ground Floor
Cromwell Tower: First Floor
Cromwell Tower: Second Floor
Cromwell Tower: Third Floor
Cromwell Tower: Fourth Floor & Tank Room – Ready For Your Ideas
Cromwell Tower: Roof Terrace
There is an open-plan kitchen breakfast room that flows into the sitting room with floor to ceiling sliding doors opening out onto a terrace. A separate dining room completes the first floor accommodation making this floor a central space for entertaining. Both the second and third floors provide the bedroom space. The master bedroom suite offers extensive luxury having a large double bedroom, sitting room, dressing room and en suite bathroom. The fourth floor incorporates the tank room. Yet to be utilised, this space, approaching approximately 3,200 sq ft, offers a purchaser plenty of scope to incorporate this into the accommodation however they may decide. (subject to the necessary planning consents).
This tank room has yet to be utilised. If the new owners are thinking of a gym or fitness suite plus games room, this has already been completed on the other levels…
The roof is an exceptional feature. and has 360 degree views across the countryside.
There are a number of feature from the tower including the original central spiral staircase (no longer in use), depth gauges and exposed stone work along with a recognition of the original use from the 1930s Art Deco period…
Map Courtesy of Google Inc
As a way to give some perspective on the size and floor area of this 6 floor water tower, we have included an aerial view so readers can compare a "standard" detached house size/footprint nearby to the area of floor space that Cromwell Tower utilises (please remember this circular area has six levels and the neighbouring houses are particularly large and of executive quality)…
Cromwell Water Tower: Guide: £1,500,000.
For further details and the estate agent's contact page (here) and…
If Cromwell Tower at £1,500,000 is a little too handsome on the price level, then we have a much slender windmill conversion at a third of the price to offer for our readers' consideration…
Unique Property Bulletin – Earlier Listing: 7th July 2019
Renovated Grade 2 Listed Windmill For Sale
Guide: £550,000.
The Old Mill, Church Lane, Thurlaston, Rugby, CV23 9JY
This was a working mill around 111 years ago. Then it became a tad run down. The four distinctive sails lost. The roof and cap became leaky. After years laying fallow, and then the commitment of a lot of tender loving care, this is now a beautiful home. It will also save you a fortune in gym membership as it has more stairs than your thighs will know what to do with. Brief summary…
The mill ceased working around 1908 and now provides a magnificent home filled with character (and eccentric characters if you are anything like our crew at the Unique Property Bulletin). The newly configured residential accommodation is arranged over five floors. The views across country-side become more spectacular at each ascending level. Whilst height has visual rewards across green fields, the ground, or rather first-floor entrance level has character too. The former windmill has had a style of sail-deck reinstated….
The upper ground floor level, on the side of the mill, has a covered veranda providing outside sitting area and relatively private views to the garden.
To the upper ground floor is a dining area and a hall with and cloakroom off.
A bespoke fitted kitchen with hand made units. Replete with Rangemaster cooker and space and plumbing for appliances.
On the first floor is a double bedroom with built-in bookcase, wardrobe and en suite shower room. On the second floor is a further bedroom with built-in cupboard and shower room and on the top floor, an office/study with views to all sides. This room could be used as a further bedroom or lounge, and there is access to the roof space.
The photograph above appears to show a home-office study. Spot the spiral windmill staircase entrance to the left. Along with the view from the window to the right of the photograph and it looks like you may work from atop a windmill. Ideal for running your website. That's how we started. Find something you are passionate about. Locate one of the buildings where you would love to live. Go online. 7 years later, hey presto. For our part we live and work in a lighthouse building. You too could follow a similar path to your unique home + work + life.
A block paved driveway with shrubs and mature trees leads to the garage and parking. The gardens are principally walled, with box parterre, lawn and mature trees and shrubs. The garden is west facing, bright and secluded.
Floorplan: The Old Mill. Please Don Not Scale
A little research has found some remarkable photographs to illustrate what this windmill used to look like. One picture from around 1908 and another circa 1955, effectively illustrating "before" and "after" when compared to the contemporary pictures taken recently by the estate agent…
Thurlaston Windmill. 1955 (c) Rugby Library/Heritage Lottery.
No Reproduction Unless: here
Sadly, by the mid-twentieth century, the sails had been lost and the building became a dilapidated ruin. Travel back in time to 1908, and Thurlaston Windmill looked in it's prime. You can almost smell the bread being made from the nearby miller's house (not included: bread nor windy miller's cottage)…
A style of sail deck has been partially reinstated at a lower level in the renovated mill tower; possibly as an homage to what once served a very important function. As if to contrast the last century with this, we have a video montage to follow the sepia style photography of 111 years ago…

Unique Property Bulletin – Earlier Addition: 16th June 2019
Castle Ruin For Renovation
Grade II Listed Castle For Sale
We would try a cheeky offer nearer to £400,000.
Plas Gwynfryn, Llanystumdwy, Criccieth, Gwynedd, LL52 0LU
As the Unique Property Bulletin's main office is in a lighthouse station, we naturally wanted to see the new movie from Gerard Butler titled: The Vanishing. It is a deeply dark production. The tangential road from that film led us to understand that Mr Butler is looking to buy a castle in his native Scotland. We have several private sales from vendors not wishing to place their pile on the public domain. So if Mr Butler is still looking he is welcome to get in touch and we would be delighted to make best efforts to assist in locating a suitable castle in Scotland.
Mr Gerard Butler In The Recent Unique Lighthouse Movie: The Vanishing (Here)
However, for this listing, here is what we like to describe as a neatly arranged pile of bricks. Plus some exquisite masonry…
Just Look At Those Handsome Stones
Indeed that stonework alone is well worth a large chink of the £500,000 guide price. We have been lucky enough to employ modern day stone masons and they have produced exquisite work. But it is not a cheap thing to commission. So having so much of the finished masonry in situ already will give the new owner a decent start.
Just looking at the detail, this castle really has beautifully crafted stonework. The bones are there and the local planning authority are minded to look favourably on renovation proposals – provided the facade and features from the original construction are preserved and saved from further decay. We reckon the most viable outcome is for 4 to 8 apartments in the completed project. There are many more folk who can afford say £225,000 for a completed wing of this Brobdingnagian castle restoration than just one owner who will likely end up spending between £1,500,000 to £2,500,000 in total to restore the property.
Built around 1876, Plas Gwynfryn was at one time the home of Ellis Nanney, an MP, narrowly and famously defeated by Lloyd George in 1880. Incidentally, the original plan drawing have recently been saved and form an incredibly valuable reference source in the work required to restore original features.
During the war Plas Gwynfryn was pressed into service as a military hospital. Thereafter an orphanage and more latterly as a hotel. Sadly this fine building was gutted by fire in 1982 and is awaiting a knight in shining armour, or possibly Gerard Butler in one of his major Hollywood roles. Though Mr Butler has mentioned he favours a Scottish castle to be close to family members back home and this pile is in Wales, or Whales as the president likes to call it.
Plas Gwynfryn – Video Presentation
This particular castle is a magnificent ruin. As such it will absorb tons and tons of money to bring it back to a meaningful life.

Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein: What's the Difference?
Learn about the differences between animal and plant protein, including macro and micronutrient breakdowns, digestion rates, and protein content and density.
Does it really make a difference if you get your protein from animals or plants? More and more people are opting for plant-based alternatives. Whether it's replacing a traditional beef burger for black beans, or sausage for plant-based salami, eating more plant-based foods can have benefits on overall health and wellness. But, just like so many things in life, it's just not that simple. If you're not following a plant-based diet, choosing a kale salad over a juicy and tender filet just doesn't really make sense, does it? We're going to explore the differences between plant protein vs. animal protein so you can decide which one will provide more benefit for you and your lifestyle.
On a very basic level, protein, animal or plant, is much the same. Protein is made of amino acids and plays a critical role in the development of muscle mass and tissue. Often times you'll read claims that protein powder can help build muscle and improve exercise recovery. That's because protein repairs and builds human cells through a process called muscle protein synthesis. There are 20 essential and non-essential amino acids, which are responsible for various bodily functions. This leads us to our first difference between animal vs. plant proteins – incomplete and complete proteins.
Incomplete vs. Complete Proteins
One of the biggest arguments when it comes to choosing animal or plant protein is the incomplete vs. complete debate. Of the 20 amino acids, 9 of them are essential meaning your body cannot produce them on its own, so it's crucial to get them from the food you eat or through supplementation.
All animal proteins are complete sources of protein and contain adequate levels of each amino acid to produce important biological functions. When a protein is lacking in one or more of any certain essential amino acid, it's labeled as an incomplete protein.
Therefore, in terms of proper nutriment, it's easier to get all essential amino acids from animal protein. Essential amino acids, such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine are all essential for building more muscle mass and optimal muscle recovery post-workout. Thus, if you choose a plant-based lifestyle, it is critical to choose plant-protein sources that are complete proteins or combine them to create complementary proteins.

Protein Content & Density
Ever heard the phrase, "Stronger pound for pound?" Well in terms of protein content, "pound for pound" animal protein has more protein content than plants, per oz. On average, a 4 oz cut of lean animal protein, (chicken, pork, fish, beef) will provide roughly 20-25g of protein. Tofu, which is one of the most protein-dense sources of plant protein, provides 10g per 4oz. That means, in order to get the same amount of protein in your diet, on average you need to eat 2-3 times the amount of plant-based food than animal-based to get the same amount of protein. Pound for pound, animal protein is more protein-rich. The analogy comes to life.
How much protein each type of source offers is a big deal when you're trying to build more muscle and hit your macronutrient goals. Animal proteins offer a great concentration of protein per serving, almost always.
Digestion Rate
Another factor to consider, is how much of that protein actually gets used to build and repair your muscle mass? Research does show that animal proteins have a slight edge when it comes to digestion rate and the ability to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. More amino acids are used when your protein comes from animal sources.
But what do the studies show in terms of performance outcomes? Pea protein, which is a popular source of plant-based protein used in protein powders has a comparable amino acid profile to whey, aka animal protein. Dubbed the powerful green bean, peas are packed with protein and considered a complete source, containing adequate levels of all 9 essential amino acids.
A head-to-head study published in the Journal Of The International Society Of Sports Nutrition investigated the effects of pea protein vs. whey on muscle composition and strength. The results showed a significant and greater effect on muscle composition amongst the pea protein group, with no clinical difference between groups in regard to muscle strength.1
A pilot study conducted at Lipscomb University in Tennessee compared the effects of whey and pea protein supplementation in conjunction with 8-weeks of High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) on strength, body composition, muscle thickness, peak force, and WOD performance.
The results confirmed that whey and pea proteins promote similar strength, performance, body composition, and muscular adaptations following 8-weeks of HIFT.2
The thing to remember, is that these are just two examples, using one type of plant protein. Although the results do show that pea protein can provide similar results to animal protein when used as an ergogenic aid, purely drinking pea protein to hit your macronutrient goals, will be a challenging and unpleasant experience. The fact that there's also a massive body of evidence that shows animal protein edges out plant protein when it comes to protein synthesis does play a defining role as well. The bottom line is that more research needs to be done to provide substantial evidence to know whether plant proteins are as good as animal proteins when it comes to improving athletic performance and strength.

Micronutrient Profile
Now, to discuss a distinct differentiation factor – micronutrients. The real question is, what else are we getting with each source of protein? Animal protein for example, is a rich source of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12. Often times plant-based foods are fortified with these micronutrients. Supplementation is key, especially when you're following a plant-based diet, to ensure adequate amounts of B12 and Vitamin D.
That being said, plant proteins have a litany of differing vitamins and minerals that animal protein doesn't offer. But, that depends on the exact source of plant protein you're consuming. For example, one of the biggest advantages plants provide, is fiber. Beans and vegetables have a high fiber and protein content, meaning you can build muscle and be regular. Plants also contain bioactive compounds or phytonutrients called flavanols, which help reduce free radical damage often associated with chronic disease and inflammation. Most plant protein sources are also rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, and copper.
Animal protein doesn't contain carbs, which means that with plant protein sources you're going to get some carbohydrates. If your goal however is to cut body fat, build lean muscle mass, or gain more strength, including key complex carbohydrates and fiber from starchy vegetables is a must to optimize your athletic goals. Nevertheless, if you're goal is reduce carbohydrate intake, you best bet, is opting for animal protein and supplementing with whey protein isolate or hydrolysate.
In terms of fat content, almost all animal protein sources contain saturated fat, yet the quantity widely varies. A filet is not going to have the same fat content, then let's say a rib-eye. Different cuts of meat will have different amounts of fat, just like ground animal proteins will have different fat to protein ratios in animal sources such as chicken, turkey, beef, and bison.
What Type Of Protein Powder Should I Use?
When it comes to what type of protein powder you should use animal or plant, the most important factor is to ensure that it is proprietary blend free. When you track your food, it's important to know what you're ingesting to help you reach your goals. For example, most plant protein powders will list the sources of plant proteins they use, but what they won't disclose is how much of each source they have. Without knowing the amounts, you won't know what types of micronutrients you're getting or what your protein is really made of. So whatever you do, make sure your protein powder provides transparency and lists the ingredients and amounts to make a better informed decision.
Now, should you be using animal vs. plant protein powder to reach your health and fitness goals? Well, of course, that depends on a few different factors. Before you buy protein powder, ask yourself a few questions. What are my goals? Am I trying to lose more body fat? Do I want to incorporate more plant-based foods in my diet? Does it even matter? In any type of protein powder, whether that be whey, egg, rice, or plant protein, the carbs will always be negligible. If absorption rate is what's important to you, opt for an animal based protein powder like whey isolate, egg, or casein.

There is no one size fits all for what type of protein you should opt for. We all have different nutrient requirements, goals, dietary needs, and health profiles. The truth is that you can get all of your protein from plants, animals, or both. At this point, there's not enough clinical evidence, to give you a definitive right or wrong answer if plant or animal protein is better. Both are inherently good, with their own pros and cons. Having a mix of plant and animal protein sources in your diet, is always going to provide more nutritional adequacy than strictly choosing one over the other.
If you do choose, either way you're going to lack in some essential nutrients, whether you like it or not. Studies do favor animal protein in terms of athletic performance and goals. To the average person, that may not make a big difference, but to you, it probably does. Bottom line is that there is a lot to consider, and it's not that simple. If you're counting macros, chances are the distinction doesn't matter that much, so long as you meet your macronutrient goals. A diet should be well-rounded with a collective amount of protein sources, both animal and plant.

While we usually connect Croatian Rimac Automobili with somewhat pricey electric supercars and other vehicles (take a look at Concept_One or Greyp Bikes), technology developed for them can be used in various applications. This time an adapted battery system was integrated into a standard wheelchair in order to improve the user's quality of life. Rolly Bugnar, a bright young man that was testing the new system for the last seven months, shared his story today.
User interface for the battery system.
Rolly talks about his daily routine in the video – his friend lives 1,5 kilometers down a steep hill from his home and he visits him every day so they can work on various hobby projects in his garage. But Rolly couldn't' visit him for some time now, because batteries for his wheelchair were too weak. Their range is the biggest problem – it is very limited and Rolly wants to be even more independent. Even though he was very careful with the batteries (he charged them regularly, didn't use them during the winter), their life span was only one year.
The comparison between the old battery and the Rimac system is unveiling the potential of this technology. New battery system taht Rolly uses drastically increases the range, reduces weight, improves overall performance and reduces the environmental impact of battery-powered wheelchairs. The range was increased from 10 km to 60 km. The battery weight was reduced from 31,7 kg to 21,1 kg, while the projected lifetime is increased 10 times. According to Rimac's predictions, the new battery system will last for 10 years without losing any capacity while the traditional wheelchair batteries have to be replaced every year. Combined with the recyclability of Lithium batteries, this solution does not only improve the life quality of the wheelchair user, but significantly reduces the environmental impact of electric wheelchairs. Rolly also loves the user interface – he can see data about each battery cell, voltages and other information, which helps him to know exactly how far he can go.
Our company is based on four different pillars – sportscars, future mobility, electric vehicle technology, engineering and prototypes. We are already quite diversified, entering the wheelchair market would be an entirely different field for us and. Before any steps towards commercialization, we will have to do further studies.
But this pilot project shows that the technology developed for electric supercars can be adapted for other products and industries. And maybe the most important thing is that it can improve the quality of life – Rolly is a living proof and we hope to see many more similar stories.

Q: Ruby, метод split cтранные аргументы с вопросительным знаком Необязательная инфа:
Уже как полторы недели занимаюсь изучением языка программирования Ruby. В качестве небольшоей практики решаю задачи на "CodeWars", и в качестве доп. задания рассмастриваю чужие варианты решения задачи, так вот попалось странное решение (возможно для меня), не могу разобраться с агрументами передаваемыми в  метод split.
Основаная часть
Проблема: Непонимамние передаваемых аргументов.
Задача: "https://www.codewars.com/kata/meeting/train/ruby"
Автор решения "hrrs01"
Код:
def meeting(s)
    names = s.upcase.split ?;
    names.map!{|x|y=x.split(?:); [y[1],y[0]]}
    names.sort.map{|x|"(#{x[0]}, #{x[1]})"}*''
end

Вопрос: Что в данном случае обозначает вопросительный знак? Является ли верным следующие выражение ?
split(";") == split ?;

В документации https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.1/String.html#method-i-split ответа не нашёл или плохо перевёл.

A: Нотация ?x означает то же, что "x". Это просто странный способ сделать строку из одного символа. В вашем случае ?; — это ";", а ?: — это ":". Так писать никогда не следует.
В руби до версии 1.9 эта нотация возвращала код символа, но потом это убрали, чтобы сделать язык более удобным. Чтобы не ломать совместимость совсем, нотацию оставили, но «подправили».

Enterprise Data Management: What a Modern EDM System Needs to Offer
This white paper establishes the key components of a "modern" EDM system. It outlines the principal drivers to EDM adoption within financial markets and the business outcomes firms are looking for, and then describes the features required to deliver these outcomes and how such a system satisfies the broader needs of the enterprise.
Enterprise Data Management (EDM) systems have been with us for a long time. Many firms have undertaken large IT projects in an attempt to achieve a truly enterprise-wide platform for trustworthy data to support operations and reporting, but, as with all large projects, issues such as scope creep, cost overruns and the dangers of a "big bang" approach have often impeded their success.
The measure of success of a solution designed to be the go-to place for data across the enterprise is whether it has retained that primacy five or ten years down the line. In practice, many find that position eroded as the pace of change in financial markets exposes the inflexibility of older EDM architectures. This inflexibility often leads to tactical responses to new business problems which then become dislocated from the core EDM architecture. This paper examines what a modern EDM system should look like now, such that it can still be a modern EDM system tomorrow.

BMR - The history
BMR's history goes all the way back to 1967 when six men established Union Six, the group responsible for BMR's beginning. The Union Six group became BMR company after the first year. At the start, the company was focused on building construction accessories distribution, unfortunately, after a few years, building construction went off the market, as the house prices were getting too high, and people were investing money in renovation rather than building. By 1975 the company changed the focus and became a retailer. The change was a massive hit, as BMR has quickly tripled their amount of merchants, and the sales significantly increased. In 1997 BMR was known as a hardware store, with a wide range of renovation equipment. Since then, the company was becoming more and more popular. BMR stores were operating in more locations. In 2005 the company's the headquarters were burned to the ground, but thanks to their loyal and caring employees new office built quickly, and everything went back to normal. The headquarters of BMR is in Boucherville in Quebec.
In 2015 BMR Group was seized by La Coop fédérée, but it is still working under BMR's banner.
Nowadays the company operates more than 200 hardware and home improvement stores. The stores can be found in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Prince Edward Island and are a source of employment to more than 5 thousand people.

After an event (read my blog post about the Yummy Magazine x KitchenAid Cooking Demo at Enderun) and after having dinner at Todd English Food Hall in SM Aura, T wanted dessert so I suggested that we try the churros at La Lola Churreria. I'm not sure where the other La Lola Churreria branches are or if this place is new since I've been out of the country for a while but there's a line when we get there.
I believe with always starting with the classics so I order from the Churros Clasicos. I am a bit surprised though that the chocolate dip is ordered separately and is almost half the price of the churros.
The medium size is good for 2 people so I don't know why we order the Large Churros Clasicos (P195/$4.30). Gluttony, I guess :D We also get the Large Hot Chocolate Dip (PhP100/$2.20) to go with it.
T and I both love their churros. It's crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. It's so good that I could eat it without the chocolate. But speaking of chocolate, it's also a must try! The consistency is just right.. Not too thick, not too watery. It also has the right amount of sweetness so it doesn't overpower the taste of the churros.
I also like how they package the churros with the chocolate dip on the side so it's not difficult to eat while walking. And if you don't dislike cinnamon (because some people do), I suggest adding cinnamon powder to your churros.
T also gets the stuffed churros called Xuxos (PhP120/$2.70), which the cashier said is pronounced as choo-chos. You have a choice of different stuffings such as Nutella, Dulce de Leche, Strawberry Jam, and Peanut Butter. Of course, Nutella-loving T chooses Nutella.
Really good churros and chocolate.
I am actually craving for La Lola churros and chocolate while writing this so T and I will definitely be back!

Honduran Former President to Face Trial in New York Federal Court
April 22, 2022 by Bruce Zagaris Leave a Comment
Today, April 22, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez (JOH) is expected to make an appearance at his first virtual court hearing tried in a federal court in New York. He is being charged with three counts: 1) conspiring to import cocaine into the United States which carries a sentence of 10 years to life in prison; 2)using and carrying machine guns and destructive devices during, and possessing machine guns and destructive devices in furtherance of, the cocaine importation conspiracy mentioned, which carries a sentence of 30 years to life in prison; and 3) conspiring to use and carry machine guns and destructive devices during, and to possess machine guns and destructive devices in furtherance of, the cocaine importation conspiracy, which carries a maximum life sentence. Sentencing will ultimately be determined by a federal district court judge considering U.S. Sentencing guidelines and other factors.[1]
In furthering the alleged cocaine trafficking conspiracy referenced all three charges, since at least 2004, JOH assisted multiple Honduran drug-trafficking organizations in receiving multi-ton shipments of cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela to later be trafficked to the United States. The DOJ indictment alleges that drug traffickers bribed JOH, who first served in the National Congress before his presidency, and other public officials in exchange for protection from investigation.
Throughout his public service career, Hernandez would abuse his office to thwart justice against his allies. This included enlisting heavily armed security to protect members of the drug trafficking conspiracy, assist in transporting and distributing cocaine shipments, interfere with drug trafficking investigations, and prevent U.S. requested extradition of suspected drug traffickers.
The DOJ indictment paints a relationship of mutual strengthening between JOH's political career and the drug trafficking conspiracy. In 2005, during Hernandez's first reelection campaign, he received, through Hernandez's brother Alvarado, a $40,000 bribe from Victor Hugo Diaz Morales (AKA "El Rojo"), a drug trafficking organization leader. Returning the favor, Hernandez provided information and protection from Honduran law enforcement in transporting large quantities of U.S. bound cocaine.
During JOH's 2009 campaign to become president of the Honduran National Congress, Diaz Morales allegedly bribed JOH $100,000 with the promise that he would appoint their favored officials to top law enforcement positions if successful. This provided the drug trafficking organizations information to assist in trafficking and about interdiction efforts of the Honduran National Police and Army.
By 2013, Hernandez would ramp up his alleged corruption efforts as he began his first run for the Honduran presidency. In that year, he would allegedly accept a $1,000,000 bribe from Sinaloa Cartel leader Guzman Loera (AKA "El Chapo") paid through JOH's brother Alvarado who collected the bribe armed with machine guns. In exchange, JOH allegedly coordinated with other drug trafficking organizations to provide cocaine and armed security to the Sinaloa Cartel. Pertaining to the election, JOH would employ friendly national government officials to intimidate various municipalities which were deemed insufficiently supportive of him. Agents would also bribe officials to manipulate vote counts to Hernandez's benefit. According to the North American Congress on Latin America, the elections were "fraught with irregularities and violent intimidation, threatening to throw the embattled nation into further political disarray."
Allegations of intimidation and irregularities would continue into JOH's 2017 re-election campaign. The DOJ indictment alleges that he used $1.5 million in drug-trafficking proceeds to bribe politicians and election officials into supporting him in his re-election.
The cards would begin tumbling down in 2018 after JOH's brother, Hernandez Alvarado, was charged in the Southern District of New York in connection with his participation in the cocaine-trafficking conspiracy. Alvarado was tried and convicted on October 18, 2019 and court filings produced in his trial would publicly name the former Honduran president as the defendant's co-conspirator.
Immediately after the end of his second term, JOH was indicted by grand jury for the charges mentioned and a warrant was issued for his arrest on January 27, 2022. On February 15, 2022, Honduran law enforcement authorities arrested the former president and the Honduran Supreme Court would later affirm the extradition request on March 28, 2022.[2]
In remarks delivered on April 21, 2022, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland says, "Hernandez abused his position as President of Honduras from 2014 through 2022 to operate the country as a narco state. . . We alleged that Hernandez corrupted legitimate public institutions in the country – including parts of the national police, military, and national Congress."[3]
The indictment and extradition of the former president shows there is no impunity even for a former head of state. The developments illustrate how political winds can change: Hernandez and Trump lost elections. The Biden Administration has focused on cracking down on anti-corruption in the Northern Triangle, since corruption is seen as one of the root causes of illegal migration. The fact that Honduras so quickly extradited the former president is likely a wakeup call to other heads of state and political leaders in Central America.

State Department Releases 2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
April 14, 2022 by Alex Mostaghimi Leave a Comment
On April 12, 2022, the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor released the 2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices covering internationally recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The abstract of the report notes a general continued democratic backsliding and incipient authoritarianism that pose a threat to human rights and democracy, specifically citing Russia's attack on Ukraine. Highlighted nations which have been found to unjustly imprison, torture, and even murder political opponents and activists include Russia, China, North Korea, Nicaragua, and Syria. The report also documents similar abuses being carried out against peaceful protestors in Burma, Belarus, Cuba, Hong Kong, and Sudan.
More worrying is the increasing trend of transnational repression, the practice of reaching across borders to harass intimidate, or murder dissidents. One poignant example is when Belarussian government officials attempted to divert Ryannair Flight 4978 to Minsk by fabricating a bomb threat in order for Belarusian security services to arrest a dissident journalist.[1]
Human rights watchdog Freedom House released a report in February 2021 finding that transnational repression is becoming a "normal" phenomenon. Since 2014, the project compiled 608 direct physical cases of transnational repression in which 31 origin states are conducting transnational repression in 79 host countries. The spectrum of transnational repression spans digital death threats and spying to kidnapping and murder of individual dissidents or their loved ones. The report notes that most cases of transnational repression involve the cooperation of host country governments and that the normative cost of using transnational repression has gone down.[2]
Complementing the release of the report, Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press briefing on concerning global trends in Human Rights. He begins his remarks by condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its concomitant human rights abuses, "We see what this receding tide is leaving in its wake- the bodies, hands bound, left on streets; the theaters, apartment buildings reduced to rubble with civilians inside. We hear it in the testimonies of women and girls who've been raped and the besieged civilians starving and freezing to death."
After rhetorically affirming the universality of human rights, Blinken emphasizes the increasing trend of political repression which has both broadened and intensified. According to the report, more than million political prisoners are being held in over 65 countries including victims in Cuba, Russia, Ethiopia, and Egypt. Blinken mentioned examples of transnational repression in cases such as Iranian intelligence agents attempting to kidnap an Iranian American journalist from her home in Brooklyn and the Assad regime threatening Syrians cooperating with German courts in prosecuting former officials for alleged atrocities.[3]
International Criminal Law and International Human Rights Law
International criminal law and international human rights law are distinct from one another, but related in several important ways. According to the International Law Commission's (ILC) Report on Fragmentation, international human rights law aims to "protect the interests of individuals," while international criminal law "gives legal expression to the fight against impunity." These two aims often intersect in their goals and usage, for example, abuses of individual human rights may constitute a crime against humanity under international law.[4]
In order to fight against impunity for violating individual rights, a body of law has been directed toward codifying the relationship between the two fields. Article 21 Subsection 3 of the Rome Statute states that "the application and interpretation of law pursuant to this article must be consistent with internationally recognized human rights."[5] Therefore, it is not uncommon for international criminal courts and tribunals to reference human rights law jurisprudence in order to establish a broad consensus on the definitions of different crimes against humanity.
The frequent cross-referencing between the two fields means that escaping accountability through forum shopping becomes unrealistic. For example in Almonacid-Arellano et al. v. Chile, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) cited the ICTY's decision in Prosecutor v. Tadic to conclude that "a single act of murder committed as part of a widespread or systemic attack against civilians is sufficient for the configuration of a crime against humanity." The IACtHR's use of this precedent allowed the American Commission on Human Rights (ACHR) to examine the case lodged by petitioners against Chile for the murder of Mr. Almonacid Arellano on its merits.[6]
Potential Utility of the Country Reports
Lawyers can use the country reports sometimes to argue that an asylum applicant's claims are justified by conditions in the home country. An attorney arguing a case before the Commission for the Control of Interpol Files may also reference the country reports to show the challenges of obtaining a fair trial, especially if the applicant is a minority against whom discrimination is common.

It is another beautiful desert city with rich historical significance from the era of the kings and the empires. The earthquake that hit it in 2001 had devastated the region but it has stood back and is now a welcoming city that serves as a great tourism spot. The place is connected to some of the glorious historical presence like the Indus Valley civilization, Mahabharata, Alexander the Great and the Colonial British rule. It is blessed with rich historical landmarks too like the Aina Mahal, Prag Mahal, Ramakund stepwell and the beautiful Hamirsar Lake.

This E-RNAi option allows to evaluate/re-map existing long dsRNA- or siRNA sequences.
Choose long dsRNAs for the evaluation of long dsRNAs (including esiRNAs) or siRNAs for the evaluation of short interfering RNAs.
It is recommended to paste reagent sequences in FASTA format. Raw sequences can also be pasted, however a query sequence must not contain any newline (each newline is interpreted as new query by E-RNAi).
Alternatively, reagent sequences can also be uploaded from file. Files must contain sequences in FASTA format and *.fa, *.fasta and *.txt file extensions are allowed only.
In the example below three reagent sequences from the HFA/DRSCv1 library were pasted in FASTA format.
After submitting the query, E-RNAi shows the queried reagent sequences as genome browser visualization (if they could be mapped).

Q: networking the internet on my desk top i have modem connected to my computer for a wired connection
i am thinking of buying a wirless linksys router to connect to my modem
i just bought another desktop and i want to use a wireless usb can that be done

A: You could. Generally modem (with ethernet) -> router -> computer will work.
Personally i find that internal PCI cards are easier for desktops than USB keys, but there's no reason a USB wireless dongle will not work

A: That works but I'd prefer to put a cable if possible... I used 4 different types wireless cards(2) and USB(2) for 2 years and now the 4 pcs are connected with a cable as the performance was terrible, even with good signal and dropping connection a lot (one computer alone was ok). On the same router, I can connect many wireless notebooks very well so the problem was with the wireless adaptors on the desktops and not with the router.

A: You can use a USB dongle for wireless on a desktop. I'm doing it right now. USB dongles can sometimes overheat, so I would recommend placing it in the USB port that is closest to the system fan on the case.
The other option is a PCI card. This has the disadvantage that you need to open the case up. However, they are often cheaper.

ALONG CHAPEL ROAD
Along Chapel Road is an associative film essay in search of the world of the famous novel Chapel Road by Louis Paul Boon.
"A large frog in a very small literary pond" said the American journalist Cyra McFadden about Louis Paul Boon in her article on Chapel Road at its first print in the English translation in 1972. This English translation opened up this revolutionary modernist novel for the international audience and made of Boon a candidate for the Nobel prize. The appreciation he never received due to his sudden death in 1979.
According to the author, Chapel Road is the book about the childhood of Ondine [. . .] about her brother Valeer-Traleer with his monstrous head wobbling through life this way and that. But the book is about a lot more than that. It is also the story of Louis Paul Boon, an author working on a novel entitled Chapel Road, surrounded by his colorful group of friends. His readers and companions include the painter Tippetotje, who habitually works a naked woman into her paintings, and Johan Janssens, the journalist and poet who is fired from the paper for refusing to agree with the Capitalists, the Socialists or the Ultra-Marxists. Beyond that, Chapel Road includes a retelling of the myth of Reynard the fox and Isengrinus the wolf, a tale that underscores the greed, stupidity, hypocrisy, pride and lust motivating the other characters of the book. Chapel Road is a pool, a sea, a chaos.
In retrospect, this novel is a showcase for all Boon's qualities. It unites his historical interests with his tendency towards short fierce fragments, and even salacious elements are present. As in so much of the work of this Flemish master, a major theme of Chapel Road is the ultimate failure of the fine socialist ideals which informed countless efforts to improve the position of 'ordinary' workers over the last hundred-and-fifty years. The novel is set in a period of growing social unrest and tells the story of Ondine, who was born in a poverty-stricken house in Chapel Road just before the turn of the century. Despite her origins she has set her sights on a rich and sophisticated existence but ends up marrying Oscar who is poor but idealistic. Inevitably both become disillusioned by the realities of life.
Within this story Boon interweaves the commentary and experiences of a number of modern people, 'modern' here meaning the post-War era, a time when socialist concepts made way for bitterness about the increasingly middle-class mentality which accompanied heightened levels of prosperity. Although the book is more than forty years old, Boon's inimitably skilful style gives it a contemporary feel. His editing techniques move the reader effortlessly back and forth through time and his very personal mixture of literary and popular language adds variety. Humour and passion are the typical qualities of this author whose message that little men are better off distancing themselves from political systems and splendid-sounding slogans may be more applicable today than we like to think. Although Chapel Road's ending is gloomy and gives little hope for the characters or their creator, the fire with which the story has been told still gives off a fierce glow.
filmessay
A filmmaker who found his home in a novel, tries against hope to retrieve this world in reality. The result is a dialogue in images and words between the writer and filmmaker, about dreaming in vain and the urgency to compulsively persist in creating art for consolation and evocation. About the small precious moment that changes our perspective. And thus all there is. With excerpts from the novel Chapel Road by Louis Paul Boon.
