Anna Freud Centre Funded by Marilyn Monroe Suffers Financial Losses
I ran across this article recently and found it interesting that the Anna Freud Centre in England is unfortunately losing money due to court rulings two years ago that released MM image rights from the Estate of Marilyn Monroe to the estates of the photographers.
Blonde bombshell for the Anna Freud Centre funded by Marilyn Monroe
A CELEBRATED children's counselling service in Hampstead is looking for new ways to raise funds after one of its main sources of income began to slide in value: an inheritance from legendary film star Marilyn Monroe.
The Anna Freud Centre in Maresfield Gardens said no services had been cancelled or disrupted but confirmed yesterday (Wednesday) that it was now looking for fresh avenues to generate money.
Staff have long been aware that the centre has benefited from the legacy of Monroe. She left a quarter share of her estate to her New York psychiatrist Marianne Kris.
Most of the rest of her fortune went to her acting coach Lee Strasberg and is now controlled by his relatives.
But when Ms Kris died in 1980, her share was passed on to the Anna Freud Centre, which has since thrived on the generosity and the income generated by licensing deals connected with the Some Like It Hot star.
It provides support to children, working with youngsters who suffer from mental illness or are in emotional distress – for example, after the death of a parent. But the New Journal has learned that the Monroe money is no longer supplying the financial assistance it once did and the value of the inheritance has been hit by a complicated licensing case over the use of memorabilia and pictures of Monroe.
It was successfully contested in the American courts two years ago that Monroe's so-called "Rights of Publicity" ended when she died and that her estate did not necessarily have a monopoly on her image and the photos taken of her. In turn, this has partly left the Anna Freud Centre – so valued by the families who use it – searching for new funding opportunities. Statements filed with Companies House show that two years ago the bequeathed money was being used in legal fees in an attempt to protect the Monroe estate's interests.
"The centre owns 25 per cent of the Marilyn Monroe LLC and in previous years has received royalty income," said the last publicly available annual report filed by directors. "Litigation costs in the US concerning Rights of Publicity have meant that the centre's share of royalty income during the year was allocated to uphold and protect the LLC's Rights of Publicity. This licensing income is in any case time limited and expected to reduce significantly in the next several years so the centre is committed to diversifying its sources of income to replace these revenue incomes."
Monroe died from an overdose of sleeping pills in California in 1962, aged 36, three months after famously singing Happy Birthday to US President John F. Kennedy. Anna Freud was the daughter of Sigmund Freud and shared her father's interest in psychology, although she specialised in the psychoanalysis of children. She lived in Maresfield Gardens up until her death in 1982.
A spokeswoman for the Anna Freud Centre said: "We haven't cancelled any services. We do rely on donations and have been on a funding drive in the last three years to find new ways to raise money."
She added that anybody interested in helping should contact fundraisers at the centre.

The United States of Stupid
Anybody know a good quantum mechanic?
Reality needs a good tune-up. Preventive maintenance for a broken-down brain on meltdown. A way to fix things up in the social hierarchy of perpetual motion that keeps it all rolling along smoothly in a demolition derby of pure junked thoughts. So much scrap on the heap. Trapped in the middle of emotions between worlds on a two-course, figure-eight crash of subatomic hair-raising splits on a dead man's curve. Stuck in a parallel universe traffic jam. A hobo prince hitchhiking for a painted wagon to the stars. Everything happens all at once in this collapsing continuum of ever-expanding nothingness. Standing at the world's edge curbside pick-up waiting, for my half-gallon of economy vodka while watching the sun explode in a bright flash. Looking stylish in my face mask staring at blinding white light. The moon's albino pockmarked crater face surface looks away desolate. Turning a cheek to some sad cosmos.
The earth spins instantaneously, sparking quirks and squirts in its lopsided gyro turning all at once. Part of the same unconscious world of birth, death, rebirth, now conceiving a spritely uroboros yin yang of dizzy electro give-and-take. Amid lonely universes of one single morose globular planet of solitary confinement. When the world becomes the sum total of the sun's fiery Hellscape burned-out cold. Bursting quick, becoming the moon's lifeless cold smiley face. It's like some weird musketeers playing Robin Hood, spinning dizzy on an orb of half-assed imagining. Only the stupid can relate to the dumb. Drinking in a stupor of pure logic.
Now in such a state of broken down disrepair, living a simulated half-dead repetition, it can't patch things up. It'll never be the same normal. An old crone sits in the corner, mending flag's torn illusion fleshy quilt. There's a name for this brand of fear. The standup comics call it flop sweats. Victims standing tall, spindly backs up against the wall, waiting for a firing squad of release to shoot them and call it redemption. The TV repair guy in my brain's eyeball watching it all unfold with a cold killer's gaze.
There must be a better way to do things in this failed reality show of errors. To right the wrongs, straighten the crooked. Smooth the wrinkles that unfold the creases. Bend the will of the puny powerless faithful idiots confederation of inbred morons mingling with daily disasters. A handyman with a wrench turns the wingnut screw in my aching head. Part-time mechanics wipe greasy rags of unspoken truth on the windshield of inner vision. No apology for your position in the galaxy in my head of life's soliloquies.
It's an ancient fable unknown to most. The inward journey's half the thrill of getting there unscathed. No need for travelers' insurance or gizmo chicanery. Red light cameras speed trap on a suspended license by way of revoked dreams. No fun for the wingless. Fly into the sun or fly to the moon. It's all systems go without maps to discover uncharted territories inside a gray matter brain contemplating a grain of sand. While sitting on life's beach. The repository of everything going everywhere at the same time instinctively. Without a care in the other world. Tabulating sunrise while subtracting sunsets day in, day out, of night of a thousand dances and a million reasons why. Pull the veil down, open the curtain, raise the blinds. There's cause to celebrate for or against the tides of reason.
Just before sunrise, a steady ocean breeze blows sea foam suds along the shoreline sand. Tide waves crash, breaking the beach into white bubbling crests turned green against turquoise sky. Beyond the horizon line into the great beyond of who knows. Witness the magic miracle of sunrise showing us how to be alive. To feel warm glows, bright orange to yellow heat until sunset's jumpstart recharge. It feels almost unbelievably like love. Below the water's surface strange creatures resembling aliens because they're from some otherworldly realm at the sea bottom. We came from far away on a joy ride. Back to the home base from where it all began. That's how we got here at first but you can't get there from here. Crawling from the ocean. Stomping in the mud. Sprouting legs and gills like wings. A bloody throbbing muscle of lovely stardust gristle. Maybe this is why we have a reasoning brain. Astrophysicists are puzzled, philosophers perplexed, standing at the precipice of a stinky situation in spaced-out places across the great hoo-hoo of the mighty ha-ha.
When was the universe born? How many galaxies fit in a safe deposit box? Is there an expiration date, best used by the life of a dwarf star? It's always kaput around here, wondering about the end. Trying to find the last honest soul. Questions your mother should know. A roll of duct tape or a screwdriver can hold or dismantle everything. Swamp gas stench and waking up in outer space with lunatic-edged smiles. The universe is everywhere you want to be. In a place called the United States of Stupid we're surely fucked. To dwell among hateful god-fearing people from a galaxy as far as you can throw them. Far away from sticking with your own kind. It's the democratic way. You can bet on it and vote too.

We had a super interesting chat with Andrus Purde, Head of Marketing at Pipedrive. We talked about early stage marketing strategies for startups.
Back in December, we had super interesting chat with Andrus Purde, Head of Marketing at Pipedrive.
We talked about early stage marketing strategies for startups and how to get "findable".
Hi Andrew! So first, could you tell us a little bit more about yourself, what you do and what's Pipedrive?
I'm Andrus, I'm from Estonia, and I'm the Head of Marketing at Pipedrive.
Pipedrive is a sales tool that helps small teams get organised and close more deals.
The CRM market seems pretty fragmented, there are a lot of other CRMs out there, how do you handle this from a marketing standpoint?
It is definitely a busy market. Most of them are much better funded than Pipedrive.
From day 1, what helped us is to focus on helping small businesses.
Although we have some big teams as well, at Amazon for example.
Do you feel like this focus on SMBs came along when you looked at the composition of your signups or is it something that had always been part of your DNA?
The focus was not to please people in executive suits. We help the people in the small teams to get more sales done.
This different starting point has guided most of our marketing efforts down the line.
I know there are a lot of marketing frameworks, but I believe you have elaborated your own framework. Could you tell us more about that?
Yeah I did write my own. I call it the Two-Hedgehog Model. A reference to Jim Collins and the "Hedgehog Concept" he popularized.
As a backstory, if you take a hedgehog, it does only one thing really well: it closes to protect itself.
So, the premise is to do only one thing, and do it really well.
If you focus on only two things and do them very well you'll have your early stage startup marketing priorities sorted.
For example, there are a few things a startup needs to get right early one.
First is: focus on getting referrals. Which means: getting a great product out there and then working on triggers and incentives to encourage people to share the product with their friends.
So, in the early days, we should not focus on the marketing per se but in the product instead and the marketing driven from the product (aka the referrals)?
Absolutely. Plus, the marketing can help with the customer development and eventually the product.
Marketing can also work on the messaging so that it's easy to refer the product.
However, it does not make sense to be build the referral program too early on. Simply because you don't have anyone to refer your product to.
So, you should wait to have certain volume.
We waited two years before actually starting a true referral program here at Pipedrive.
During those two years, we used the experience from our founders to build the best CRM software for small teams.
Marketing helped with the messaging and create triggers to share the product with their colleagues.
This was our first hedgehog.
The second one was to be findable.
Either in Google, or in app stores, or whatever channel is dominant for you.
At the time people were finding new products from their friends or via Google.
At Pipedrive, in the early days, all we could afford was my two hand on the keyboard.
We wanted to do paid search but we did not have the funds. So we started with SEO by necessity.
In an ideal world you should have a budget and some funds to really test channels. Moreover, there's no one-size-fits-all, being findable is a subtle combination of SEO, PR, partnership and Paid marketing.
We are in the same situation, paid search is way too expensive at the moment and we started doing SEO by necessity. Maybe it is wiser to wait for funds to experiment new channels?
Yes, even if you do a lot of SEO work, when you're on a competitive market, it's still hard to get on the front page. Even on paid search actually.
The first keyword I focused on seriously with Pipedrive was "Sales pipeline management software".
"CRM software" was really expensive, and this one was still relevant to the product.
One other thing that worked really well for us, when it comes to being findable, is the Chrome Web Store.
It was a new channel and people were starting to look for software there.
We were among the first CRM softwares there and we got a lot of traction and signups from there.
Even though the traffic was not that qualified, it was really helpful in the early days, we were getting enough signups from that source.
Long story short, there are always some new channels, every year you have opportunities like that to exploit early on.
But don't you think the Chrome Webstore is not that relevant anymore, that this channel is so crowded now that it does not drive so much traffic anymore?
Yes, definitely, but at the same time new marketplaces and app stores have popped out.
There are new platforms more relevant for us, specialise in SaaS softwares. We have been testing those smaller ecosystems and it's been great so far.
And every month there's a new platform launch where you can be findable.
Speaking of platforms, what do you think of SaaS comparison platforms such as Capterra or G2Crowd for example?
Yes, we tried I think all of them. Some of them are hugely profitable, and we would like to put more money in those platforms but we can't, due to limited volume.
There are other platforms where I feel the traffic is a bit less qualified.
However, I've been talking to other marketers about this and apparently it can really depend on your vertical. There's no one size fits all.
I'd recommend to test them all and see which one works best for you.
But again, if you're just starting out, you would recommend doing it right? Those platforms require to have at least some budget to get significant results.
Actually, I have advised to some startups to test them even early on.
But as you said, it's probably not the first thing you want to do since you need reviews to get ranked properly.
So, you should probably not start with this.
And outside of the Chrome Extension channel, was there any big hustle or launch that had a significant impact on your growth?
We did not do any big launch or hustle that impacted our trajectory.
We launched Pipedrive in Estonia, at the time we had a MVP and a small growth.
Then one of the founders had pitched their way into AngelPad and made contact with Appsumo.
So we had an MVP but in the hands of people in the Valley not in Estonia.
The growth started to change because the product was on the hands of influential people.
So having a great product is half the job, the other half is putting it in the hands of the right people.

Sailing with a message, teen activist lands in NYC
Cheering crowds welcomed Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg to a Manhattan marina Wednesday after a trans-Atlantic trip on a sailboat to attend a climate conference. The 16-year-old and her crew finished a two-week crossing from England.

Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, who crossed the Atlantic on a zero-emissions sailboat to attend a conference on global warming, approached New York City's shores on Wednesday (local time).
Thunberg, 16, and her crew were expected to arrive at a lower Manhattan marina in the afternoon (local time) after a two-week crossing from Plymouth, England. As the social media-savvy teenager approached New York Harbour before dawn, she tweeted her excitement, saying: "Land!! The lights of Long Island and New York City ahead."

The vessel then anchored off Coney Island, so those aboard could go through customs and immigration procedures.
Before setting sail again toward Manhattan, Thunberg waved to nearby boats, including one with journalists tracking her arrival.
The teenager refused to fly because of the carbon cost of plane travel. A 2018 study said that because of cloud and ozone formation, air travel may trap two to four times more heat than that caused by just emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The sailboat's on-board electronics are powered by solar panels and underwater turbines.
Thunberg has become a symbol of a growing movement of young climate activists, leading weekly protests in Sweden that focused on the issue and that inspired similar strikes in about 100 cities worldwide.
She's in New York to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit next month. There, she'll join world leaders who will present plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The boat carrying Thunberg, the Malizia II, encountered rough seas that slowed it down for a day. Taking turns steering the 18-metre racing yacht were yachtsman Boris Herrmann and Pierre Casiraghi, the grandson of Monaco's late Prince Rainier III and American actress Grace Kelly.
Inscribed on the boat's sail are the words "FridaysForFuture" under "UNITE BEHIND THE SCIENCE." This was no pleasure cruise. The Malizia is built for high-speed, offshore racing, and weight is kept to a minimum. There is no toilet or fixed shower aboard, no windows below deck and only a small gas cooker to heat up freeze-dried food.

Thunberg, the daughter of an actor and an opera singer, became a European celebrity last year when she refused to go to school in the weeks before Sweden's general election to highlight the impact of climate change. She continued her school strike on Fridays after the election, spurring thousands of young people to follow suit. Since then, she's met the pope, spoken at Davos and attended anti-coal protests in Germany.
She is now taking a year off school to pursue her activism.

June 23, 2009: This article works best when regarded as a contingent whole from a distance rather than one meant for scrutinizing. By recognizing the existence and length of "Woe, Originality, Woe!", the point is made as sharp as a slashing celluloid projector — fingers and palms are cautioned.
Have you recently felt waist-deep in the remakes that Hollywood is churning out at us? Those suits are approving them faster than a greasy teenager can wrap up and deliver an equally greasy feces-spotted burger. Now you have to understand, the execs are timid and frightened of green-lighting anything new and original. After all, anything untried could fail and cost them their job.
So far this year we've seen Peter Segal helmed Get Smart, The Eye, Shutter, Prom Night, One Missed Call, Funny Games, etc. With the exception of the Steve Carell flick, they all sucked, but that didn't stop future Idiocracy members from making them profitable, which ensure more and more remakes…
Get ready to duck and cover because here they come!
TRAIN (2008) by Gideon Raff < Terror Train (1980) by Roger Spottiswoode.
The Echo (2008) by Yam Laranas < Sigaw (2004) by, you guessed it, Yam Laranas. It will be like George Sluizer remaking his chilling masterpiece Spoorloos (1988) into the Americanized (re: shitty) The Vanishing (1993).
The Valet (2008) by Bobby and Peter Farrelly < La Doublure (2006) by Francis Veber.
Star Blazers (2008) by producer Josh C. Kline < The Japanese anime series Star Blazers (1979). The upcoming movie will be live-action; just think Thunderbirds (2004) — question: did that hurt?
Race with the Devil (2008) by Chris Moore < Race with the Devil (1975) by Jack Starrett.
It's Alive (2008) by Josef Rusnak (The Thirteenth Floor, 1999) < It's Alive (1974) by Larry Cohen.
Anguish (2008) < Angustia (1987) by J.J. Bigas Luna. It involves a serial killer who collects eyeballs by force for his mother's keepsake. For some odd reason, this reminds me of the surreal Alejandro Jodorowsky masterpiece Santa Sangre (1989).
Possession (2008) by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist < Jungdok (2002) by Young-hoon Park.
The Host (2008) < Gwoemul (2006) by Bong Joon-ho
It's a Ferrara twofer: The Driller Killer (2008) by Andrew Jones < The Driller Killer (1979) by Abel Ferrara.
Bad Lieutenant (1992) by Abel Ferrara > Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) by Werner Herzog. Nicolas Cage takes on the infamous Harvey Kietel role. This is the only one I'm looking forward to.
Battle Royale (2008) by Kinji Fukasaku < Batoru rowaiaru (2000) by Kinji Fukasaku
Oh Gawd! They're even remaking Oh, God! (2008) from the 1977 George Burns semi-classic by Carl Reiner.
Sharky's Machine (2008) by Phil Joanou < Sharky's Machine (1981) by Burt Reynolds.
Crossing Over (2008) by Wayne Kramer < Crossing Over (1996) by Wayne Kramer. The 1996 version is a 35-minute short that's being adapted to feature-length and is starring Harrison Ford, Sean Penn, Ray Liotta, and Ashley Judd.
Coffee break time! | INTERMISSION | I'm back.
Flirt (2008) < Flirt (2005) by Jaap van Eyck. Not the 1996 Hal Hartley one.
Bangkok Dangerous (2008) by Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang < Bangkok Dangerous (1999) by the same Thailand directors.
Revenant (2008) by Randy Robinson < Le Revenant (1903!) by Georges Méliès. This is officially the oldest remake of all time by 105 years. "Florence, get Guinness on the phone!" "Right away. Genghis Khan Capone."
My Sassy Girl (2008) by Yann Samuell < Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo (2001) by Jae-young Kwak.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) by Scott Derrickson < The 1951 Robert Wise classic.
Brothers (2008) by Jim Sheridan < Brødre (2004) — an excellent drama by Susanne Bier.
Harry and the Butler (2008) by Steve Bing < Harry and the Butler (1961) by Bent Christensen.
Strangers on a Train by Noam Murro < The 1951 Hitchcock classic. I remember how well received Gus Van Sant's Psycho (1998) was.
Even India is doing a remake with Kurbani (2008) by Feroz Khan < Qurbani (1980) by the same director. But we can forgive India just this one.
And here's what to be remade in 2009: The Evil Dead, The Seven Samurai (NO!), The Wolf Man, The Birds, Friday the 13th (what do the suits do after ten sequels, they just renew it!), Death Wish, Hellraiser, Rififi (NO!), Mute Witness, Kiki's Delivery Service (!?!), Piranha 3-D ,yes you just read Piranha 3-D, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (by the guys who brought us the Ask A Ninja webisodes – might be fun.), The Last House on the Left, Fame, Magnum P.I., The Tingler (I wonder if they'll bring back the electric seats!), and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which is based on the James Thurber short story.
Wow! Hollywood has turned into a real ouroboros. ("I don't know what that means?" – Donald Kaufman) Oh, if only Donald Kaufman hadn't gotten into that lethal automobile collision than we'd be getting more original fare like The Thr3e (re: Identity (2003) by James Mangold).
We live in sad times. Have you scalded your eyes yet with the new Disaster Movie trailer? Those Hollywood anus-lickers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another lame-brained parody movie. Not only does Disaster Movie make fun of such "disaster movies" as Enchanted, Juno, Sex and the City, and Hancock…Hancock!? What the hell, Friedberg and Seltzer? Hancock hasn't even been released yet!
I yearn for the quality parody movies like Top Secret (1984) and The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad (1988).
Word to anyone even considering buying a ticket to Disaster Movie: Don't be a Idiocracy member. Do me a favor come August 29th, just spend your Friday night watching clips from Ask A Ninja. It's better than watching a remake.
Josh C. Kline
Star Blazers…don't think Thunderbirds. For general tone, think somewhere between Aliens and Hunt for Red October.
http://www.rainbeau.ca Christopher Beaubien
I hope the film Star Blazers does live up to that conceit, Mr. Kline. I would rather be proven wrong than suffer an incompetent film.
Note: Mr. Kline is also producing an upcoming film titled "Challenger" about professional drag racer Mickey Thompson and his wife's murder case in 1988 and their killers.

Today our paw prints will provide our friends with French Lesson I. I'm the teacher. Humans think we do have a little hair about us. I mean air about us. Take for instance the French Poodle. Elegant and always looking merveilleux/marvelous. Did you notice a slight attitude? Prancing around the show rings like nobody's business. According to that place called 'wikipedia', there are 39 furry friend breeds originating in France. For example, the Bichon Frise, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon , the Lowchen, the Brittany , the Great Pyrenees, Dogue de Bordeaux , the Papillon, the Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen , the Basset Hound, the Briard (Berger de BrieBouvier des Flandres) and of course…saving the best for last The French Bulldog. Yippee-dee-do-da! Okay...so admit it you didn't know there were so many furry friends from France, huh? Well,we didn't either. The funniest thing about us is those "ladies of the evening" enjoyed walking around with us. Mom said I don't need to teach anything else about those ladies. So for today friends, its all about French breeeds and of course you.
This was a great lesson about French dog breeds!! Thanks a lot and BTW the beret looks stunning on you.
Wow...you two are VERY smart! Thank you so much for the French lesson!
Can you help me understand what mom is talking about when she yells "MERDE!" whenever I throw up or something unpleasant happens???
Happy Saturday to you both!
I enjoyed the French lesson and learning about the French breeds. My name is French, but I'm an All-American dog.
We never knew all those breeds came from France!
Sure is nice to learn about French breeds. There are lots!
Ut oh Salinger... I think "Merde!" means poopy. It is like a curse word for mommys.
Thank you so much for the lesson!! I have been wanting to learn a new languge!!
Salut Frenchies! Comment çava? Well, if you want French, we got it. Me and my new brother live in Montreal and we hear French every single day. Mom is getting better, but she's no where near as good as I am. Assiet toi! I know everything in French, but now I have to teach my brother with the freakishly long legs.
Wow you two really are quite eduacated little frenchies. I am impressed with your knowledge.
Does any of this relate to how cute you are?
That was very interesting, guys! We learned something new! Thank you!
Thank you for the lesson. We never knew so many breeds originated in France.
Thanks for the great lesson! Mama really likes watching the dog shows on tv, this way she gets to see all of the cool breeds that we normally don't see. We knew some of the breeds from France, but not all of them. Have a great Sunday!
Thanks for the lesson Benny and I just love your hat!!!

VIDEO: Nick DeLeon's First MLS Goal

Share All sharing options for: VIDEO: Nick DeLeon's First MLS Goal
It's taken exactly two games for the good feeling that surrounded D.C. United's season to dissipate. The Black-And-Red fell to the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1 Sunday night at the Home Depot Center in a match which saw D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen start both of his designated players (Hamdi Salihi and Branko Boskovic) on the bench. Boskovic came on as a second-half substitute, but Salihi stayed on the pine for the whole game, leading to this interesting post-match quote. (Via Steve Goff.)
On the surface, the absence of the big-ticket players was glaring.
"I don't care what it looks like on the surface," Coach Ben Olsen said.
For their part, both Salihi and Boskovic accepted the decision to drop them from the starting lineup, at least publicly.
But it wasn't all bad for D.C. United as midfielder Nick DeLeon, who was drafted with the 7th overall pick in January's MLS Superdraft, scored a goal of real quality for United's first tally of the year. Welcome to MLS, son.

If you somehow happened to do your own trimming, you'd need to peruse books and watch online recordings keeping in mind the end goal to make sense of this for yourself. It could take weeks or even a very long time before you wound up noticeably OK with doing this all alone. In the event that you procure a professional, this won't be an issue by any means.
Significantly shorter trees can be hard to trim, and that can put you in danger for getting hurt. In the event that you let an accomplished professional handle the activity for you, they will utilize their chance tried wellbeing systems. This will guarantee the trees get trimmed legitimately and that no one is in danger for getting hurt.
When you perceive how your trees care for they have been professionally trimmed, you'll be happy you had this service done! This can really add to the general appearance of your yard essentially in light of the fact that your trees are tidied up rather than left looking wild. The trimmers will dispose of all the branches that are superfluous and tidy up different parts to make the look simply great!

These retaining walls are not constructed at a very perpendicular straight way. The gravity working against it, starts to push the wall if that is the case. Every landscape retaining walls are built with a built-in lip that creates a step back as you keep building up. The base material should be very solid that will make the wall stay flat all the time. Blocks, stones, timber or concrete make it stronger. Bury the bottom or one tenth of the retaining wall into the soil and prevent the soil form pushing it out.
Water and compacted soil are the two factors responsible to make even the well built landscape retaining walls to survive for a longer time. There are more chances for the water to push the wall by washing out the base material. It can also build up or stagnate just behind the wall and start to apply a very strong pressure to the wall and makes it bulging or topple gradually. It is always quintessential to prevent the water from stagnating and give a speedy water exit route for the water in these walls. Keep a drain tile at the bottom. Otherwise the water will get trapped inside, soak and weaken the base material. It is always important to build a wall in such a way that water never gets clogged just behind the wall and push against it.
Use a reinforcing grid if the wall is built taller. Also use 'Deadmen anchors' that locks the wall into the soil just behind it if you build timber walls. It is good to build these walls to a maximum height of four feet only. For tall slopes, a series of tiered walls is good option in comparison to a single tall wall.

Why Charity Hasn't Done Much for Haiti
Thursday's Editorial — Posted on January 24, 2013
(by Mary Anastasia O'Grady, The Wall Street Journal) – When a 7.0 earthquake centered 16 miles from Port-au-Prince flattened Haiti three years ago, hundreds of millions of dollars flowed into aid organizations serving the country. Governments the world over promised billions more. The suffering was unfathomable, the call for relief impossible to resist.
But beyond meeting emergency needs of victims, throwing money at Haiti does not seem to have done much material good. In economic terms, the country is stuck in neutral, though this is not to say that there is nothing new to observe.
One notable development in recent years is the increase in Islamic proselytizing. A credible source reports that there are now 14 formal mosques in the Port-au-Prince area and at least one "madrassa" religious school in the small city of Miragoane. Qatar has been pouring in money. In December 2011, Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, organized his own mission to Haiti.
Given that some sects of Islam deny rights to women and teach intolerance, and even violence, toward nonbelievers, this religious proselytizing is worthy of attention. Like many Africans, Haitians are desperate and vulnerable, and Western efforts to improve their lot are failing. A recent observation by Canada's minister for international cooperation, Julian Fantino, that aid results are suboptimal was not a sign of flagging interest. Canada is instead demonstrating justifiable concern about whether its generosity is helping the Haitian people.
Handouts from the U.S. and Canada – which now seem to be largely channeled through foreign nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] – have helped the country earn the moniker [nickname] of "the republic of NGOs." Yet blanketed as it is with charity, Haiti remains a basket case. Haiti-based writer Tate Watkins has observed that many NGO workers "are disconnected from the people they are here to help," don't learn Creole, "work on shorter timelines" and experience high turnover.
To add insult to poverty, foreign aid (whether it goes through the governments or NGOs) distorts both politics and commerce, undermining the evolution of market economics. Free resources reduce the pressure on politicians to make the reforms necessary to attract capital. When food and services are given away, entrepreneurs who might serve those markets are shut out.
President Michel Martelly, inaugurated in 2011, is the first Haitian leader in almost 20 years who is not connected to strongman Jean Bertrand Aristide's Lavalas Party. But expectations for better economic growth under his administration have not been met. …
There are more plausible explanations for the Haitian economic malaise, starting with the vast divide between the lip service that government pays to reform, and the reality. Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe uses the right buzz words about "strengthening the rule of law" and "making Haiti a place that's attractive to foreign and local investors." He speaks glowingly about a government-planned industrial park in the north of the country that he says will bring 20,000 jobs to Haiti. "With an unemployment rate of 52 percent," Mr. Lamothe wrote in July, "this park represents a unique opportunity to create much needed jobs that Haiti needs to break the cycle of extreme poverty."
Wouldn't that be grand? But the real problem of Haiti is revealed in the World Bank's 2013 "Doing Business" survey, which rates the climate for entrepreneurship in 185 countries. This year, Haiti's ranking fell one place to 174th. When it comes to the ease of "starting a business," Haiti ranks 183rd in the world. In"protecting investors," it ranks 169th, down from 167th last year. In "trading across borders," Haiti lost three places from last year and now ranks 149th. "Paying taxes" also got more difficult relative to the rest of the world, as did "getting electricity."
Such a dismal report card suggests that Haiti has a political problem, not one merely of poor infrastructure or not enough charity from abroad. One example is the decades-old open secret that the country's main port is a dysfunctional nest of corruption, which hamstrings trade.
The interests at the port are dug in and apparently the political cost of fixing this problem is too high for President Martelly. Fair enough. But no one should be surprised when the transaction costs of getting around the problem – driving goods over the Dominican border or paying huge bribes – choke business.
Building a new port in the north of the country, as the aid gurus now want to do, will accomplish nothing on its own to fix what is essentially an institutional problem. On the contrary, it is likely to reduce the government's interest in spending its own political capital to resolve the problem.

Lancashire CCC
Lancashire may look overseas to replace Junaid
Pakistan Test ace will miss Lightning's final NatWest T20 Blast group match and the quarter-finals and finals day if Lancashire qualify
Graham Hardcastle
Lancashire bowler Juniad Khan
Lancashire have not ruled out replacing star bowler Junaid Khan with another overseas player as they bid to secure their maiden NatWest T20 Blast title.
The deadly Pakistan Test ace will miss the final North Division group game against Durham on July 24 and the quarter-finals and finals day if Lancashire progress due to international commitments.
Khan has been their standout performer in an excellent start to the T20 competition, which sees them sit joint top of the group with 13 points from nine games.
He did not get the chance to add to his tally of 14 wickets on Friday night because their sold-out Roses clash with Yorkshire at Headingley was abandoned without a ball bowled because of rain.
Trying to find a replacement will be a tough task for the Red Rose hierarchy. And if they can't do it, assistant coach Gary Yates is confident there is enough quality in the current squad to fill the void, including former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, who is yet to feature this summer.
Fellow all-rounder Wayne White is another option, as is former Zimbabwe Test fast bowler Kyle Jarvis, who admitted before the season he had been working extensively on bowling at the death in limited overs cricket.
"We have to keep our options open," revealed Yates. "There is no suggestion we will take an overseas player in to replace Junaid, but we will have a look and see if there is somebody who can fulfil that role if we needed. It's going to be difficult to get one, but we'll have a look.
"We were aware it was going to happen (Khan leaving early). "That's the reason we've got a large squad, to make sure we're covered in all competitions. We have players who can step in and must step in to fill that role."
Tonight's match with Yorkshire was abandoned at 7.25pm when it became clear that a five-over game would not be possible.
However, it was no disaster for Lancashire, who remain co-leaders with Worcestershire with five matches left, with the top four securing a place in the last eight.
"A point is not a bad thing for Lancashire," Yates added. "I think it's more beneficial to Lancashire than to Yorkshire. Any point you get away from home, you see that as a real advantage."

Paul Miller Racing Bounces Back from Sebring Challenges for 12th Place Finish in Audi R8 LMS
SEBRING, Fla. (March 16, 2014) – In a long day filled with all of the challenges that can be expected from a 12-hour endurance race, Paul Miller Racing brought its No. 48 Audi R8 LMS home in the 12th position in the 62nd Running of the 12 Hours of Sebring on Saturday, March 15.
The Audi team was having a routine day until contact on the track and the resulting damage forced the No. 48 to the garage shortly after the eight-hour mark. Returning to the track just 12 minutes later, the Paul Miller Racing team found themselves racing inside the top-15, yet removed from contention for a podium finish.
"The 12 Hours of Sebring is a very tough race with very tough conditions," Bryce Miller said. "Our Paul Miller Racing team didn't have an easy week. We had small mistakes here and there and those types of things add up, especially when a 12-hour race is involved. Chris [Haase], Matt [Bell, co-drivers], and the team did an awesome job, and we were able to make it to the finish. Like I said, this is a very tough race, so just making it to the finish is an accomplishment."
After overcoming a series of setbacks earlier in the week, the team started the 12 Hours of Sebring focused on a solid finish. Starting out the day with a routine race, the team made calculated moves as they rotated through co-drivers Miller, Christopher Haase and Matt Bell. With just standard stops for fuel and tires, the team was competing at their own pace and had moved into the top six with Bell behind the wheel just before the halfway point.
"It was crazy race," Haase said. "I did the start and already there it felt like a one-hour race. My only target was to stay out of trouble and keep the car in one piece. We had a lot safety car situations which showed how difficult the race was. Every restart was just tough because of all the different classes which where fighting. Our race was not bad, for a long time we could stay consistent at the top eight to stay in touch with the leaders."
With the race entering its eighth hour, competitors in the 12 Hours of Sebring were challenged by the sunset hindering their vision as they navigated the narrow, bumpy course. With Miller behind the wheel, the Paul Miller Racing team was navigating traffic when a competitor in a much-faster Prototype, who was also navigating traffic, made contact with Miller in Turn 17. Miller brought the car to the attention of his crew, first on pit lane and ultimately in the garage, where the Paul Miller Racing team diagnosed a bent rear toe arm. The Audi team worked quickly and within just 12 minutes, Miller returned to the track.
"There was an incredible amount of driver error in this race which contributed to the exceptionally high number of caution flags thrown," Bryce Miller said. "Unfortunately we were one of many that fell victim to poor judgement by others. Our incident was an example in how not to drive with one hand while trying to block the sun with the other and execute overtaking maneuvers at the highest speed on the circuit."
Following the incident, the Paul Miller Racing drivers completed one last round of driver changes without incident and while fighting their way through the field. At the completion of the 12th hour, the No. 48 Paul Miller Racing Audi R8 LMS was scored in the 12th position.
"It's great to be able to make it to the finish here," Bryce Miller said. "We had 11 cautions, so to be able to finish the race and score the points is a good thing. There are a lot of cars that didn't finish and there was a high rate of attrition. We definitely have things to feel good about. Despite all the challenges, we had a really good car with good pace for the last hour of the race.
"We have a lot of takeaways from the day, but we're focused on the entire season and getting better week after week. I think we'll be able to learn from our experience today and be a better Audi team in Laguna Seca."
The Tudor United SportsCar Championship GTD Class will next compete at the Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix, May 3-4, 2014, at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
About Paul Miller Racing: Paul Miller Racing is among the top GT teams competing in North American sports car road racing.

Getting three points against Central Coast is all Wellington Phoenix defender Ben Sigmund is focusing on, despite another hectic week of football to follow.
Coming up after Sunday's match at Westpac Stadium, Sigmund and his New Zealand team-mates, along with coach Ricki Herbert, will travel to China for a mid-week international friendly in Shanghai before returning for away trips to Newcastle and Perth.
But after missing last week's disappointing loss to Melbourne Victory due to his controversial one-match suspension for a red card against Adelaide, all Sigmund wants is to get the Phoenix back to winning ways.
"I'm going to give everything against Central Coast because for me at the moment, the Phoenix we need a win and that's the most important thing," said the central defender, who will replace Michael Boxall in the starting line-up against the Mariners.
"Once that game is over we'll focus on China and obviously then we've got to come back and play Newcastle away and Perth away.
"I think it's one game at a time for us now. For me it's Central Coast and getting three points."
Wellington have slipped to eighth following back-to-back defeats away from home and last Monday's poor loss to Victory was a particularly hard one for Sigmund to watch.
"It was pretty tough, that first half especially," said Sigmund, who sat among fans at the local pub watching the game.
"I thought the last half-an-hour the boys got themselves together and finished with a bit of pride which we need to take into this weekend's game."
Sigmund admitted the whole group were still smarting from the lacklustre and error-strewn performance.
"Everyone is disappointed. Even if you don't play you're disappointed because we're a team and we're a squad," he said.
"We've had a good training session now and fixed up a few of the problems that we had. Hopefully we can take that into the game and get to where we should be and expect to be.
"Everyone has got a job and a task they've got to do and if they don't do it you'll be on the bench. That's the standards we've got to set.
"This weekend is important. We've got to put Melbourne away and say that's finished with and fix the mistakes we've made."

What is the most general definition of "intelligence"?
When we talk about artificial intelligence, human intelligence or any other form of intelligence, what do we mean by the term intelligence in a general sense? What would you call intelligent and what not? In other words, how do we define the term intelligence in the most general possible way?
I'm going to preface this answer by noting that persons much smarter than myself have treated this subject in some detail. That said, as far as I can discern:
When we talk about intelligence we're referring to problem solving strength in relation to a problem, relative to the strength of other intelligences.
This is a somewhat game theoretic conception, related to rationality and the concept of the rational agent. Regarding intelligence in this manner may be unavoidable. Specifically, we could define intelligence as the ability to understand a problem or solution or abstract concepts, but we can't validate that understanding without testing it. (For instance, I might believe I grasp a mathematical technique, but the only way to determine if that belief is real or illusory is to utilize that technique and evaluate the results.)
The reason games like Chess and Go have been used as milestones, aside from longstanding human interest in the games, is that they provide models with simple, fully definable parameters, and, in the case of Go at least, have complexity akin to nature, by which I mean unsolvable/intractable. (Compare to strength at Tic-Tac-Toe, which is trivially solved.)
However, we should consider a point made in this concise answer to a question involving the Turing Test:
"...is [intelligence] defined purely by behaviour in an environment, or by the mechanisms that arrive at that behaviour?"
This is important because Google just gave control over data center cooling to an AI. Here it is clearly the mechanism itself that demonstrates utility, but if we call that mechanism intelligent, for intelligence to have meaning, we still have to contend with "intelligent how?" (In what way is it intelligent?) If we want to know "how intelligent?" (its degree of utility) we still have to evaluate its performance in relation to the performance of other mechanisms.
(In the case of the automata controlling the air conditioning at Google, we can say that it is more intelligent than the prior control system, and by how much.)
Because we're starting to talk about more "generalized intelligence", defined here as mechanisms that can be applied to a set of problems, (I include minimax as a form of "axiomatic intelligence" and machine learning as a form "adaptive intelligence"), it may be worthwhile to expand and clarify the definition:
Intelligence is the problem solving strength of a mechanism in relation to a problem or a set of problems, relative to the strength of other mechanisms.
or, if we wanted to be pithy:
Intelligence is as intelligence does (and how well.)
DukeZhou♦DukeZhou
In the paper Universal Intelligence: A Definition of Machine Intelligence (2007), Legg and Hutter provide a definition of intelligence, which should capture the intuitive notion of intelligence (that people often refer to).
Intelligence measures an agent's ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments.
This definition "favors" general intelligence over narrow AIs (e.g. humans are more intelligent than AlphaGo) and adaptability of the agent to different environments. However, this definition might not be flawless, because, for example, a virus might arguably be considered more intelligent than e.g. AlphaGo, given the ability of the virus to adapt to a wide range of environments (compared to AlphaGo, which only plays Go). This definition is highly related to the mathematical theory of artificial general intelligence called AIXI. Have a look at the paper for more details.

Before computer age, intelligence was defined in philosophical terms. It has to do with logic, thinking, learning, self-awareness, memory and problem solving. This definition is vague and can't be implemented in software. A modern approach in defining intelligence is based on game theory. The trick is, that intelligence is not longer connected to real people which can have a soul but it is only a strategy to win a game. The idea is to modify the problem a bit, instead of arguing what memory and learning might be, the more important question is how to create games. A game is a machine readable rule system, which simulates the reality. For example, "Pong" is a simulation of tennis, while "Sim city" is simulating a house building. Between a game and a successful strategy in the game is a difference. It is possible to earn a weak score in a game, this is equal to a low amount of intelligence.
The invention of the computer can also be called the realization of Intelligence. Most theoretical computer scientists agree, that a turing-ready computer can solve any problem. All what he needs is an algorithm, which is a sequence of steps. That means, from the perspective of capabilities, a computer can be called intelligent, because he is able to execute an algorithm. This doesn't answer the question how the concrete algorithm will look like, but in theory a computer can do anything what humans can do.
This is an important question for AI – maybe the most important of all – for the research field of Artificial Intelligence. I mean if AI is science, then its experiments will be empirically testable. There has to be a way to decide pass or fail. So what are the tests for intelligence? Before you even design a test, you need a clear idea of what intelligence amounts to, otherwise how could you design a competent test for it?
Sure, I'm part of the research and development project known as Building Watertight Submarines, and sure, I'm totally confident my submarine is watertight, but I have no idea how to test whether it is or not because I don't know what "watertight" means. This whole idea is absurd. But ask AI what "intelligence" means. The answers you get, on analysis, are almost the same as the submarine example.
Base Answer - Behavior
The word (idea, concept) "Intelligence" is usually defined by AI in terms of behavior. I.e. the Turing test approach. A machine is intelligent if it behaves in a way that, were a human to behave in that same way, the human would be said to be performing an action that required human intelligence.
Problem 1: player pianos are intelligent. Playing a Scott Joplin tune obviously requires intelligence in a human.
Problem 2. If a machine passes the test, it only shows that the machine is "intelligent" for the tested behaviors. What about untested behaviors? This is actually a life-and-death problem today with self-driving vehicle AI control systems. The AI systems are acceptably good at driving a car (which obviously requires human intelligence) in specific environments, e.g. freeways with well-marked lanes, no tight corners, and a median barrier separating the two directions. But the systems go disastrously wrong in "edge cases" – unusual situations.
Problem 3. Who would put their child on a school bus driven by a robot that had passed the Turing test for driving school buses? What about a storm when a live power line falls across the road? Or a twister in the distance is coming this way? What about a thousand other untested possibilities? A responsible parent would want to know (a) what are the principles of the internal processes and structures of human intelligence, and (b) that the digital bus driver had adequately similar internal processes and structures – i.e., not behavior but the right inner elements, the right inner causation.
Desired answer – inner principles
I would want to know that the machine was running the right inner processes and that it was running these processes (algorithms) on the right inner (memory) structures. Problem is, no one seems to know what the right inner processes and structures of human intelligence are. (A huge problem to be sure – but one that hasn't held AI back – or self-driving system developers - one bit.) The implication of this is that what AI ought to be doing now is working out what are the inner processes and structures of human intelligence. But it's not doing this – rather, it's commercializing its flawed technology.
Elements of a definition – 1. Generalization
We do know some things about human intelligence. Some tests really do test whether a machine has certain properties of the human mind. One of these properties is generalization. In his 1950 paper, Turing, as a sort of joke, gave a really good example of conversational generalization: (The witness is the machine.)
"Interrogator: In the first line of your sonnet which reads ' Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ', would not ' a spring day ' do as well or better?
Witness : It wouldn't scan.
Interrogator : How about ' a winter's day ' That would scan all right.
Witness: Yes, but nobody wants to be compared to a winter's day.
Interrogator: Would you say Mr. Pickwick reminded you of Christmas?
Witness: In a way.
Interrogator: Yet Christmas is a winter's day, and I do not think Mr. Pickwick would mind the comparison.
Witness : I don't think you're serious. By a winter's flay one means a typical winter's day, rather than a special one like Christmas."
Current AI has nothing that comes even remotely near being able to generalize like this. Failure to generalize is regarded as perhaps the greatest failing of current AI. The ability to generalize would be one part of an adequate definition of "intelligence". But what generalization amounts to would need to be explicated.
The problem of generalization, also, is behind several the severe philosophical objections to AI theory, including the frame problem, the problem of common-sense knowledge, and the problem of combinatorial explosion.
Elements of a definition – 2. Perception
Sensory perception is fairly obviously fundamental to human learning and intelligence. Data (in some form) is emitted by the human senses then processed by the central system. In the computer, binary values exit the digital sensor and travel to the machine. However, nothing in the values themselves indicates what was sensed. Yet the only thing the computer gets is the binary values. How could the machine ever come to know what is sensed? (The classic Chinese room argument problem.)
So another element of human-like intelligence is the ability to perceive in a human-like way. What "human-like way" means here is that the machine processes sensory input using the same principles that apply in human perception. The problem is that no one seems to know how a semantics (knowledge) can be built from the data emitted by digital sensors (or organic senses). But still, human-like perception needs to be an element of an adequate definition of "intelligence".
Once AI gets these two issues sorted out – generalization and perception – then it will probably, hopefully, be well on the way to realizing its original goal of almost 70 years past – building a machine with (or that could acquire) a human-like general intelligence. And maybe the principles of generalization and the principles of perception are one and the same. And maybe there is actually only one principle. It shouldn't be assumed that the answers are complex. Sometimes the hardest things to understand are the most simple.
So the question "What do we mean when we say "intelligence"? is really important to AI. And the conclusion is that AI ought to replace its current behavioral definition of "intelligence" with one that includes the human elements of generalization and perception. And then get on and try to work out the operating principles, or principle, of both of these.

$\begingroup$ attaching the definition of 'intelligence' to be specifically 'human-like' is very arbitrary and self-serving to those wishing to claim that a true AI cannot be built. Additionally, who is to say that 'human-like' intelligence is even a remotely optimal form of intelligence. Finally, even the definitions of generalization and perception given require using words and phrases that are as equally vague and unprovable as the word 'intelligence' itself. $\endgroup$ – Dunk Nov 7 '18 at 16:20
$\begingroup$ Sure, The concept of intelligence is vague, but in part because early (and later) AI used the word to refer to externally observable behaviour rather than in the traditional sense of inner content and process. But anyway, common-or-garden use of the word doesn't wrinkle too many brows, so there is some utility in the idea. Not much is known about perception, but there are pretty good tests for generalization. E.g., Turing's half-joking dialogue in his 1950 paper about winter and Christmas. A system that can display that level of abstraction and knowledge would have my vote for generalization. $\endgroup$ – Roddus Mar 22 at 1:41
Intelligence is the ability to weave together various concepts and associations into a meaningful whole; filtering, adding and rejecting appropriately various ideas from personal knowledge and experience. Then effectively reflecting these ideas back to a questioner to affirm understanding and comprehension, allowing a conversation to proceed effectively towards a mutually beneficial conclusion.
Colin BeckinghamColin Beckingham
The most general definition of the term intelligence that is both terse and exact is this.
The collection of behavioral features resident in some entity where the entity sustainably succeeds in specific pursuits while avoiding specific losses in a particular range of environmental conditions.
These are examples of failures in exhibiting intelligence per the above definition, demonstrating the importance of each phrase.
Some behavioral features that are intelligent but an overall system behavior that is not. For example, a rocket that reaches an altitude but cannot enter orbit or a turtle that can retract its head but cannot catch a bug.
The intelligence is scattered across entities such that each individual entity does not exhibit intelligence, such as a bee or a single.
Intelligence is exhibited momentarily but disintegrates over time, not adapting to changing conditions, or is not sufficiently reliable to fill a practical role.
The entity can attain a goal but such success is nullified by loss accumulated during their attainment.
The entity can avert loss, but cannot reliably succeed in the pursuit of its objectives.
An entity that can adapt to any environmental condition and act intelligently in every one does not exist. Human intelligence is limited to specific scenarios and shock and confusion result when overburdened and super-intelligence is, as of this writing, conjecture without empirical evidence or theoretical proof.
Notice four things in this definition.
Optimality is not required. Only better than random behavior is required.
Although the entity tested for intelligence may interface with its environment only through data sets and test metrics, these are its environment.
Time is necessarily involved. In a simple case, an artificial network exhibits intelligence only in its ability to exhibit behavior that was previously learned to be sufficient. Such can only retain intelligence by adjusting its training or in an environment where adaptation to new patterns is not required.
Cognition is not required but cognition certainly augments the range of objectives that can be reliably pursued and the ability of the entity to detect danger and more proactively avert loss.

Intelligence is a state where any context is procured in all aspects to get virtue of it and act. This can be branched out into human and Artificial aspects of perceiving. Capability of sensing the context and analysing it in an different perspectives of comprehending an object in real life so that that there is an efficient solution.
Intelligence should be considered as an generic pool of incorporating various mental figures like logic, creativity, problem solving etc. these can be trained both in human and artificial program perspective.

If you can walk to the post office, library and eateries, your real estate could be worth more these days.
May 29, 2012, 10:46 a.m.
I could say I was ahead of the trend. When I bought my 1911 Victorian home in coastal Connecticut seven years ago, one of the reasons I chose it was because it was located in a turn-of-the-century neighborhood close to the center of town. Specifically, close enough to walk. It's not the most expensive or cheapest part of town, but right in the middle. And though I could have gotten a newer home in a "nicer" area, when I invested in my house, I took into account that I could cruise down the hill on foot and be at the post office, library, and movie theatre in six or seven minutes. I considered that quality quite valuable.
If I continue past the library, a few minutes' further walk brings me to the train station. I can be in the middle of Manhattan in just less than an hour (or access other towns along the Connecticut shore, all the way to New Haven, or connect with Amtrak to go to D.C. or Boston). An eight-minute stroll will bring me to bars, restaurants, locally owned shops (even a psychic!) and a great local coffee shop. Keep going another minute or so and I'm at the busy river, where the harbor empties into the Long Island Sound, and boats of all shapes and sizes, from commercial to sail to rowing shells ply the waters. I drive to the supermarket, but if my car (which I only use about twice a week these days) breaks down, I'm certainly not stranded — there's a Super Stop & Shop about 15 minutes' walk in the other direction.
Turns out neighborhoods like mine in South Norwalk, which wasn't planned to be a walking community, but are old enough to have at least partially grown up before car use was common (Norwalk was originally settled in 1656), are newly popular — and their real estate is worth more.
According to an op/ed piece in this past weekend's New York Times, with the perfectly descriptive title of Now Coveted: A Walkable, Convenient Place; "Until the 1990s, exclusive suburban homes that were accessible only by car cost more, per square foot, than other kinds of American housing. Now, however, these suburbs have become overbuilt, and housing values have fallen. Today, the most valuable real estate lies in walkable urban locations. Many of these now pricey places were slums just 30 years ago."
This is happening all over the country, from the Capitol Hill nabe near downtown Seattle, to Highlands in Denver (once considered a "troubled" part of the city) to Short North in Ohio, part of Columbus' downtown.
There's a simple explanation for the reduction in price of car-centric suburban developments and the increase in value of neighborhoods like mine: Community.
You don't find community driving solo around town in your car, nor does it miraculously appear at the front doorstep of a cookie-cutter home in a gated community. It occurs via everyday interaction, face-to-face contact and good old-fashioned conversation with the people who live where you do. Good urban planning (or just pre-car communities) that get us out in the streets, to walk, talk, support small businesses — run by people we know instead of faceless corporations — are the way forward for people of my generation and younger, and real estate values are starting to reflect this.
And oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that walking is a lot more healthy — and fun — than sitting in a car to drive 1/4 mile from parking lot to parking lot. It's just a bonus that you find a stronger sense of place in walkable communities, which are designed to appeal to people on foot, not whizzing by in cars. I can never forget that I'm living in seaside New England when I hit Washington Street (the main drag in Norwalk).
I'm excited to hear that maybe my home will be worth more to future buyers because of its location, but more importantly, my current quality of life is better than it would be if I had chosen a "nicer" part of town seven years ago.
