A Journey beyond time…
Relationships that grow over the years tend to last long. Today, we are going to talk about one such delightful journey that began almost 18 years back. The beauty of this relationship was that our individual journeys were also at its rising stage when we collaborated initially for a project. He was into the power sector and we were also emerging as designers with a couple of projects.
Our journey together started with the construction of his house at Vijayawada. 'To be experimental' was the guiding principle for both of us and we were given absolute design freedom to build his first house for a small family of 4 members. We could complete the house in a fast time frame of 12 months including the landscapes, furnishing and more.
Over the years, our individual journeys flourished and we were invited to build his office space at Vijayawada. With time, he expanded his business to Hyderabad and we constructed a quintessential workplace for him at Hitech city, the IT hub of Hyderabad. Currently, he is successfully running his business conglomerate in multiple countries with a public limited company. Our journey continued further and we built another home for him at Jubilee Hills, a food court in a mall at Vijayawada and the villa at Organo Naandi. Our 2 decades-long relationship is growing stronger as we cherish the journey together.
At Metaphor, we are continuing to offer apt design-build solutions for our clients. We will be issuing periodic insights on the same. Email us at Wedesign@metaphordesign.in if you'd like to know more.

What Is Phenylketonuria (PKU) ?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a recessive genetic disease caused by chromosomes that cause the body to synthesize adequate amounts of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). People whose bodies lack abnormal metabolic systems that PAH can not convert an amino acid common, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and possibly melanin. Therefore, phenylalanine accumulates and may affect other functions of the body. PKU occurs in about 1 in 15,000 births. PKU chromosomes are located on autosomes, so roughly the same prevalence in males and females.
HOW PKU diagnosed?
PKU diagnosis could be performed in clinics or hospitals. Characteristics and symptoms of PKU patients suffering from common include: albinism (due to insufficient amount of melanin synthesized by the body), recurrent seizures and rash.
PKU is a threat?
PKU is a non-fatal disease is treated properly. Treatment should cause little or no side effects, just the inconvenience these treatments can cause. If babies with PKU could not be diagnosed, phenylalanine buildup can become high enough to cause damage to the brain, which in turn causes mental retardation and recurrent seizures.
WHAT TREATMENTS PCU?
The phenylalanine levels must be monitored and controlled at any time. The diet should contain as little as possible phenylalanine. Search for gene therapy that eliminates the effects of the defective chromosome that causes PKU is underway.

This Iowa brewery is considered one of the world's best
Matthew Leimkuehler
mleimkuehler@dmreg.com
DECORAH, Ia. — Sitting halfway up a hill on the northwest side of town, next to a Pizza Ranch and across the street from a gas station, is the taproom for Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. Served behind the bar is beer that's considered among the best in the world.
And the latest round of accolades are rolling in. Toppling Goliath is bringing home victories in multiple categories in the 2016 RateBeer "Best" award winners, announced Jan. 30, including "world best" in double IPA, strong stout and American amber or pale.
Toppling Goliath's 2016 honors show another example of Iowa beer being recognized on national and international stages, amid growth in the state's craft beer scene. In 2015, three Iowa breweries — Exile Brewing Co., Lion Bridge Brewing Co. and West O Beer — brought home gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado. Iowa is home to over 60 craft breweries, up from about 25 in 2009.
RateBeer — a connoisseur-focused beer review site — began revealing its annual craft beer awards list in 2002. "Best in the world" is awarded to 15 beers in each style category. Around 40 brewers from 12 countries are invited to the award ceremony in Santa Rosa, California.
Toppling Goliath is the only Iowa brewery — and one of a handful from the Midwest region — represented at this year's gathering. The brewery will be represented at the ceremony alongside beer from staple names in the craft industry, such as Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Founders and Lagunitas, in Petaluma, California.
The awards are calculated through over 7 million user-generated reviews of around 380,000 beers, said RateBeer executive director Joe Tucker. Toppling Goliath also won awards for a top new beer release and top Iowa beer. In 2015, it took home the award for second-best brewery in the world.
"They've made a big splash everywhere," Tucker said.
RateBeer isn't the only beer connoisseur website to have its users recognize the craft behind Toppling Goliath's beer. On beeradvocate.com, a beer culture and rating site, seven Toppling Goliath beers rank among the top 250 in the world, with four beers in the top 35. Mornin' Delight, an imperial stout, and Kentucky Brunch, a barrel-aged imperial stout, are ranked second and third in the world, respectively.
Jason Alstrom, founder of Beeradvocate and a 17-year veteran of the beer industry, said he thinks Toppling Goliath beer will be "a favorite for a long time."
"I've had a few of their beers in my travels … you can tell there is a lot of attention to detail," Alstrom said.
Modest beginnings
Toppling Goliath co-founder Clark Lewey, 50, said the brewery works on "continual process improvement." He said staffers are their own worst critics.
Brewmaster Mike Saboe, 30, said he's been brewing for about a decade. He grew a passion for craft beer while attending the University of Iowa, where he and his friends would travel to neighboring states and bring different beers back to Iowa City to taste. Now a tenured brewmaster, he works to make each beer he creates perfect.
"We're trying to challenge flavor profiles constantly and see how that resonates with ourselves and the people who enjoy our beer," Saboe said. "We're on this quest to make perfect beer. That's something that you don't ever know if you can actually achieve. But what else can you do, (except) try to push the limits and improve?"
Saboe said he and Lewey are constantly trying new beers and seeking new flavors.
"There's very few things that we're not on the same page about," Saboe said.
Lewey founded Toppling Goliath in 2009 because he said it was hard to find a good craft beer, like an IPA, in northeast Iowa. He didn't pack up and take his idea for a brewery to a city in the region, like Madison, Wisconsin, or Rochester, Minnesota. He built the brewery in Decorah.
"We both knew it would've been more beneficial to our company to start in a metropolitan area," Lewey said. "But we also both love this area. There's things we like to do outside here. We like the pace of life (and) the people here."
"10 years ago a local beer meant traveling 200 or 300 miles," he said. "Today, a local beer means a couple of blocks."
With greater recognition comes greater demand. In 2015, Toppling Goliath inked a publicized partnership with Brew Hub — a company based out of Lakeland, Florida — to increase the production of four of the company's flagship beers. Partnering with Brew Hub allows another facility for Toppling Goliath's beer to be brewed and packaged, helping with demand. Through the partnership, Saboe is able to go to Florida and brew, watch Brew Hub's guideline for making beer and direct the beer.
Lewey said Toppling Goliath beers that are served in 16-ounce cans come from the Florida facility.
Afternoon in taproom
People travel from all corners of America and overseas to try Toppling Goliath beer. The guestbook showed signatures ranging from neighboring states like Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, plus Germany … and that's just for the first week of January.
During a snowy Friday afternoon in early January the taproom is nearly full with a boisterous crowd of beer lovers who've traveled to get a taste of what they've heard about. This includes Jodi Lester, 44, and Lori Perry, 52, who drove from Rochester.
"We came for the top brewery in the world award that they've (won)," Lester said.
David Castek, 75, and Kathy Finholt, 76, visit the tap room together on weekday afternoons. The two are both widowed and date to keep each other company. Castek said Toppling Goliath's been a regular afternoon stop for a few months.
"We usually don't indulge in more than two … that's enough," Castek said. "At my age, I've drank nothin' but beer, and I've always enjoyed my beer. We just get amazed with watchin' the people (who) come in and get growlers."
Clark said the beer's been requested in all 50 states and 13 countries — it's distributed in six states and Denmark — and individuals fly to Decorah just to pick up beer.
"It's incredible," Lewey said. "During the last King Sue (beer) release that we did, people came from everywhere. I talked to someone from New York, Texas and San Francisco."
Saboe said fans of the brewery have followed delivery trucks to distribution sites just to ensure they get a taste of the beer. Tucker said he'd also heard of people following the trucks from Decorah to delivery sites.
"That's desire," Tucker said.
Future expansion
Lewey said the company aims to continue growth, and plans have been unveiled for a new production facility to be built in Decorah.
At its current location, Toppling Goliath is set to produce 4,500 barrels in 2016, and Brew Hub in Florida is set to produce 7,700 barrels. The new location, set to open around May 2017, will be built to handle 100,000 barrels of production. Lewey said the company looks to increase production to about 15,000 barrels from the new brewery after its first year of production.
"We'll have all the room we need to grow and really move into a regional-status brewery," Lewey said.
A report looking at Iowa's craft beer economic impact — prepared by the Iowa wine and beer promotion board at Travel Iowa — said in 2014 the beer industry in Iowa exceeded a $100 million impact and supports 1,500 jobs. The study projects Iowa breweries will increase production from about 40,000 barrels of beer in 2014 to an estimated 146,000 barrels in 2019.
Mark Nauman, owner of Urbandale-based craft beer and brewing supply store Beer Crazy, said having Toppling Goliath noticed for its beer is a positive. His shop stocks over 600 beers, including Toppling Goliath.
"There's more than one (brewery in Iowa) that has the quality (of beer) to have that much notoriety," Nauman said. "It's great that there's one that has been noticed for it."
Lewey said when the new brewery opens he plans for the Decorah location to take over the Midwest distribution of the beer.
"It's both fun and scary," Lewey said.

Serving With The 5th Norfolks
Linda Benefer has kindly sent us details about her grandfathers, both of whom served at Gallipoli. Frederick Woodhouse and William Jakeman both worked on the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. At the outbreak of war they enlisted in the 1/5 Norfolk Battalion, the so-called 'Sandringham Company', commanded by Captain Frank Beck.
On 12 August 1915 the Sandringham Company suffered heavy losses at Gallipoli when it became isolated in the course of an enemy attack. Linda Benefer explains: 'I learned that granddad Frederick Woodhouse, who lived in West Newton (and worked at Appleton House as a gardener for Queen Maud of Norway), joined the Expeditionary force which was sent to Gallipoli. But on the day of the great battle of the 12th of August, he had been detailed to act as Quartermaster, and so stayed at base camp.
Later he went to Mesopotamia and saw the war out there, but he came home with dysentery and asthma. On his return he became the postmaster at West Newton, and died in 1959, when I was aged ten. As a small child I recall him talking to me in Turkish, but the meaning was lost on me. He had two daughters, and after the war a son.'
Linda's other grandfather, William Jakeman, worked as a gardener on the Sandringham Estate. William also served at Gallipoli with the Sandringham Company. He held the rank of sergeant and was detailed as a sentry/sniper on 12 August 1915, the day of the attack. He had gone on ahead, eventually taking up a position in a wood.
William sent word not to advance as he could see Turkish soldiers massing in the area. It is not known whether his message ever reached the company, because the 5th Norfolks advanced in any event. Linda continues the story: 'My grandfather saw much of the killing, fighting valiantly to defend his position. Later he was sent to France and fought on the Western Front. After the war he returned to Sandringham to work in the Royal gardens until he retired. He died before I was born, and to my knowledge he fathered nine children.'

Australia Elizabeth II 50 Cents
The 2003 Volunteers 50c coin commemorates the hard work and commitments of Australia's Volunteers within the community. The theme was Australia's Volunteers - Making a difference. In 2003 there was 4.4 million people around the country volunteering their time and services in varying activities.
Crown Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara
Person (king, queen, tsar etc.) Elizabeth II
Fourth crowned portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara.
The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara was a wedding present in 1947 from her grandmother, Queen Mary, who received it as a gift from the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland in 1893 on the occasion of her marriage to the Duke of York, later George V. Made by E. Wolfe & Co., it was purchased from Garrard & Co. by a committee organised by Lady Eve Greville. In 1914, Mary adapted the tiara to take 13 diamonds in place of the large oriental pearls surmounting the tiara. At first, Elizabeth wore the tiara without its base and pearls but the base was reattached in 1969. The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara is one of Elizabeth's most recognisable pieces of jewellery due to its widespread use on British banknotes and coinage.

Depicts volunteers in a variety of volunteering activities (fire-fighting, surf life-saving etc.) around the rim. At centre, the denomination 50. Around that and within the volunteer figures, inscription reading AUSTRALIA'S VOLUNTEERS.
Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial gain "to benefit another person, group or organization". Volunteering is also renowned for skill development and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served. It is also intended to make contacts for possible employment. Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Others serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster.

Syrian Venezuelans refers to Venezuelan citizens of Syrian origin. Syrians are the largest immigrant group of Arabic origin in Venezuela.

Migration history
Syrian migration to Venezuela began towards the end of the nineteenth century, when thousands of Syrian Christians and Jews arrived escaping the downfall of the last years of existence of the Ottoman Empire. Since then, the flow of people between Syria and Venezuela has been constant.

The huge Syrian migration to Venezuela took place during the oil boom of the 1950s. Almost every town and village which had missed having Syrian settlers from the earlier immigrations, which began in the late 1880s, now has at least one Syrian family. They have joined the approximately 500,000 prior immigrants and their descendants, reinforcing Arab culture amongst the older Syrian community which had been almost totally assimilated.

Emigration
Some Syrian-Venezuelans returned during the last decade to Syria, establishing themselves mainly in Aleppo, Tartus and Jaramana (in the outskirts of Damascus). The Syrian city of As-Suwayda; which is known also as Little Venezuela, stands out because of the mix of its streets between the Syrian and Venezuelan dialects, the presence of both languages in posters and advertisements, the restaurants and cafes where both gastronomy are merged and where Caribbean Salsa and the music of Umm Kulthum can be heard. More than 200,000 people from the Suwayda area carry Venezuelan citizenship and most are members of Syria's Druze community, who immigrated to Venezuela in the 20th century.

Religion
The majority of Syrian-Venezuelans are Druze, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox.

Venezuela is home of the largest Druze communities outside the Middle East, the Druze community are estimated around 60,000, and they are mostly Lebanese and Syrian.

A few Syrian Muslims and Jews settled in Venezuela.

Notable people
 Tareck El Aissami, politician who has served as Vice President of Venezuela from 4 January 2017 to 14 June 2018.
 Tarek Saab, politician, lawyer, and poet
 Mariam Habach, model and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Venezuela
 Walid Makled, businessman
 James Tahhan, chef, television personality, restaurateur, and author.
 Abdel el Zabayar, politician, former Deputy of PSUV

The Collapse Board Interview: Ed Kuepper
In a way that I can't quite explain, Ed Kuepper seems to epitomise everything best in Australian music and perhaps everything best in some bigger philosophy of music. The fact that he's gone through so many musical stages over such a long time span isn't necessarily the impressive part, but rather that none of his releases are sub-par, or anywhere close to being mediocre. In a past review of Ed Kuepper I wrote:
Whatever Ed Kuepper keeps doing people will keep being there, keep buying and watching, out of respect for The Icon, for the importance and weight the name now confers in Australian music.
I still think that's true, so here's my interview with Ed Kuepper.
In your new album The Return of the Mail-Order Bridegroom you cover other artist's songs and some of your own songs from The Saints and Laughing Clowns. Are there any particular reasons you choose to revisit certain songs?
It came out of doing a solo completely 'by request' tour I did last year. I decided to do that by request tour because I'd been touring in Australia and overseas in bands and in fairly formal situations. So I wanted to take it somewhere completely different and do things differently to the way I'd been working. So the way I decided to do that was to go solo and go out and not assume, or presume, what people would want to hear. So I said, "What would you like to hear?" And I did it. It wasn't a nostalgic thing.
You wouldn't say you have nostalgia for your own past work?
It's not that. I just don't think there's anything to be gained. If you go out and do a by request show there's the danger that you could think "Oh, this is something you can go down and see at your local RSL on a Sunday afternoon". I like that aspect of it, but I also wanted it to be something completely different. I wanted it to open something new up, which it did. I was taking requests but I did have the stipulation that I wouldn't be playing songs the way they were initially recorded. So people might request a song and hopefully wouldn't hear a version they were familiar with. It would be new, and they would be a part of that process.
As someone who lives in Brisbane, I'm interested to know why you choose now to release a re-recorded version of Brisbane (Security City).
It got requested. The reason I did the album was that I did the tour and I had a couple of archives of live recordings. The amount of time that was required to go through and make those recordings coherent was more than I was prepared to do – I just didn't have that much time for it. So I thought, why don't I just book some time for a studio and go in and play some of the songs that were requested. So I did the exact same thing in the studio. I had a list of songs that had been requested a lot and did versions of them that were different to the versions of how they were originally recorded. And Brisbane got requested a few times. So the album reflects, I think, some of the diversity of what was requested. There's some well-known songs and some relatively not-so-well-known songs. The only song on the album that wasn't requested on the tour was No Regrets by Tom Rush.
What is your view on being an artist who lives in the present and continually goes back to their past work, not simply to cover or remaster your older songs, but to renew them?
EK: I think it's just really important. There's two ways of approaching this work and one is staying really true to what you did and it has its validity to some extent. But I kind of just loose interest in that. Playing the same songs the same way night after night – I've never been that crazy about it. I have done it. I've done it for periods of time. But as I move on I've found that it's better to shift the songs. If the songs are strong enough they withstand that treatment and they kind of shift into something that is almost a new song. And I really like that I can hear something in a song that I haven't previously been aware of, or that I've forgotten. You could ask me "What's the line, the second verse, of song 'x' off an album" and I'd say I haven't got a clue. But once I start going through an album stuff suddenly starts coming back to you. Sometimes it has quite a strong effect. It's not just some back-patting exercise or something. It's just about seeing what works and what doesn't and hopefully get something new out of the process.
I read an interview you did a few years ago and you said, "Weird for the sake of it is doable. It's too easy. Melody is always the thing I was aiming for". What are you aiming for now in your music?
Melody and rhythm. By weird I mean it's easy enough to do something jarring. I find that sort of stuff really easy and I find it often annoying when I hear things, that to me, seem to be taking the very easy route to achieve something. There's certain things you can do as a musician that make a sound that's distracting. And some people will like that because they think it's edgy and doing something different. I often find that it's kind of irritating – and you know I'm reasonably open-minded in the way I look at this stuff – but if it seems to me it's just being done as an affectation or something, then I just filter it out. I was probably talking about Laughing Clowns when I was making that statement.
You were talking about Laughing Clowns.
Yeah, well people always misinterpreted what we were doing [in Laughing Clowns]. There were too many references to jazz. We weren't a jazz band. I think people got fixated on some of the dissonant and atonal stuff more then ever was my intention. That stuff was easy. I know how to make something sound atonal really easily. What I want is for something really beautiful to come out of it.
I saw you recently when you played at Brisbane's Powerhouse Theatre for your 'by request' set. As I was watching you I was wondering what it felt like to once by the target of the police state and to be met with some hostility, to now playing a sold-out show as a household name?
I wasn't that much a target of the police state. I skipped school to go to the Springboks demonstration along with some kids. And we left before the big police charge. I was only 14 and I had to get home before my parents went home, otherwise they would know I was not at school (laughing). And it was also starting to get a bit ugly. So I wasn't that affected. I also left Brisbane at the end of 1976, which was before things started to get really ugly. So in that sense I knew what was going and I had family and friends staying here. A lot of friends moved out of Brisbane at that point. When The Saints moved out of Brisbane a lot of people left with us. So I was aware of what was going on. As far as people sitting politely, for an acoustic show – well I guess a lot of the stuff delves into a fairly quiet and ambient area so I guess it's better if they're not making too much of a racket otherwise nobody gets to hear anything. So that doesn't offend me. I supposed if I was doing a show that was trying to get people physically active and they were all sitting there, I'd feel like that was a failure. But having people actually listen to what I'm doing I quite like.
Many former punk artists have a lot of commercial reasons for continuing and I think you have a lot of integrity in your music and its production, but also a political consciousness. Is this something you would agree with and it is it something you actively think about?
To be honest I would prefer to not think about politics. I find it immensely depressing sometimes and I think it's always a fine line as an artist and I don't like haranguing people particularly and that's what it feels like. I don't know whether my insights are particularly profound. A lot of people can see a stinking turd the way one can see our present governments, be they state, federal or whatever. To some extent I've always tried to stay aloof from that artistically. I think writing a really great political song is a really hard thing to do and I think a lot of people do things that are just going, "oh we must be making this point".
I found when I first moved to the UK with The Saints I didn't like a lot of the punk bands and I thought a lot of the political commentary was fake. I also think that a lot of the things people were getting really upset about was quite funny given I'd come from Brisbane. People complaining about the cops in London – that was hilarious. They were incredibly polite compared to Queensland cops. So I had a slightly difficult opinion on that. I've always been a little loathe to do the too obvious in my political appraisal. But as far as artistic integrity goes – I've always done what I've wanted to do, for the most part. I don't think anybody can make any claims to utmost artistic purity. I don't think any such thing exists. But I, for the most part, like to do what I like to do and I usually think it's better than what other people want me to do. So that's why I do it (laughs).
Just to quickly go back to my question about playing in The Saints and playing in Brisbane now. As The Saints mythology goes, Brisbane didn't have the political or cultural climate for you to have success here.
That's probably true. Whether anywhere had the right political or cultural climate is another question entirely. The Saints as people, for a bunch of small-town hillbillies, had a remarkably high opinion of ourselves and that didn't really change wherever we were. There was an immensely strong idea of the self in The Saints and I think it was kind of warranted. I think, I know this may sound horribly egotistical, but we were kind of unique. I would have done it anyway. I don't know about the others, but I would have done it anyway no matter where I was. I think what possibly might have benefited us is if we had started in a different environment and maybe to give us a slightly more sophisticated world view especially of the music industry of which we had absolutely no idea. And so hence, got ripped off. Which you know happens to a lot of people and doesn't seem to make much difference if you're a band from New York or London. I certainly felt that we would have been better served had someone honest been actually looking after our business interests.
So now years later you are an icon of Australian music, does it feel bittersweet?
Nah. I don't really think about it at all. But look, you're right – the last time the original Saints played in Brisbane I think there was probably a mini-riot at Petrie Terrace. Compared to me playing in a theatre or something – of course that's completely different. I would think it would be kind of silly to try and relive what was happening when I was 18 and 19 to now. That would be a bit false. You could kind of stage something like that but it would be staged, whereas it wasn't back then. I think one of the things that I've also tried to communicate over the years is that each of these stages are sort of 'this is it'. The next time is going to be different and these are live performances – they're not theatrical things. They're musical so they change. If you want to see something come along and see it because you probably won't see it again. I can't bring the old Saints back. That was then and it was great and it definitely had some fantastic moments and I stand by the music completely.

Sutphen Corporation, the nation's largest family-owned and operated fire apparatus manufacturer with headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, announced plans to combine its three Urbana manufacturing and service sites in a new 160,000-square-foot facility to be constructed at State Route 55 and Edgewood Avenue in Urbana.
With this plan, Sutphen will retain the three Urbana facilities' 160 existing jobs and add 20 to 25 more positions at the new site. "We are extremely proud to continue our growth as a business while remaining in Ohio and specifically in Urbana," said Sutphen Corporation President Drew Sutphen, a fourth-generation family member.
Champaign Economic Partnership
"Having worked with the Urbana community for many years, we are confident that Urbana is the ideal place to facilitate expansion. Between its hardworking people and its business-friendly environment, we look forward to continuing our growth in Urbana for years to come."
Todd Winnenberg, general manager of the three Urbana operations, said, "It's truly an exciting time to be a part of Sutphen Corporation. This move emphasizes the Sutphen family's commitment to its employees by staying local and providing a great opportunity for area jobs."
The Champaign Economic Partnership (CEP), Sutphen leaders, and local, regional and state partners worked together to enable Sutphen to maintain and expand its operations and workforce in Champaign County, CEP Director Marcia Bailey said. Sutphen also considered a site in Pennsylvania and other locations in Ohio.

We and our partners at JobsOhio welcome Sutphen's plans to expand their manufacturing operations in Urbana"
"I am grateful for everything our partners have done to help make this project come together and allow Sutphen to continue serving our community, now and well into the future, with a tradition of quality manufacturing, rewarding employment opportunities, and strong prospects for continued growth," Bailey said.
Julie Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Regional Development for the Dayton Development Coalition, said, "We and our partners at JobsOhio welcome Sutphen's plans to expand their manufacturing operations in Urbana. An Ohio company in its fifth generation of family leadership, the fire apparatus they make here take a piece of this state's compassionate spirit to first responders across the country, making sure critical life-saving equipment is safely produced in the U.S."
The new building will be built northeast of the intersection of State Route 55 and Edgewood Avenue, on 55 acres of land that will provide Sutphen ample room for further expansion in the future.
optimize workflow
Julie Sutphen Phelps, a fourth-generation family member, vice president of Sutphen Corporation and president of Sutphen's Hilliard, Ohio, facility, said, "This expansion allows our family-owned business to continue to grow and expand within Urbana and the fire industry as a whole. While we continue to grow, we know that our apparatus quality, our individualized customer experience and our dedication to our mission and values will not falter."
The new building is being designed to optimize workflow of fire apparatus manufacturing, from start to finish, and will combine the operations of Sutphen's three current Urbana facilities – the Sutphen Service & Technical Division, 49 N. Ludlow Rd. Urbana; the Sutphen Urbana Chassis Division, 1701 W. County Line Rd., Urbana; and the Sutphen Urbana Pumper Division, 1653 W. County Line Rd., Urbana.
Ground will be broken in August or September and Sutphen officials anticipate moving into the new building in the fall of 2022.

A second year student at Fujou High, and the president of the original Game Creation Club.
Roka was also a part of the same club until her strange personality put her at odds with the other members, which led Chitose to torment them in retaliation. After the other members quit due to Chitose's actions, Takao recruits Inada, Yamada, and Sakuragaoka, saving the club. She initially acts as though she resents Roka for what happened, though she was actually upset that Roka left her and formed a new club.
She displays a strong passion for games on several occasions. Such as waiting in line for a new game release, and also purchasing a game over a swimsuit when Inada takes her shopping.
After her attempts to get Game Creation Club (Temp) shut down, or absorbed into her own, fail, she begins regularly hanging around the club to the point that her own club members rarely see her.
She has feelings for Kazama.

Q: Show that $\mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k) = \mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k,v)$ Show that $\mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k) = \mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k,v)$ if and only if $v$ is in $\mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k)$
I am thinking that if $v$ is in $\mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k$) it must be one of the elements and can be written $\mathrm{span}(v_1,\dots,v_k,v)$ but I'm not sure how to show this mathematically.

A: Let $V = \text{span}(v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_k)$ and $W = \text{span}(v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_k, v)$.

*

*Suppose $V=W$, then $v\in V$, so that proves one direction trivially.

*Suppose $v\in V$, then you want to prove that $W=V$. Since $V\subset W$, it suffices to show that $W\subset V$. Now, first choose $\alpha_1, \alpha_2,\ldots, \alpha_k \in F$ (the underlying field) so that
$$
v = \sum_{i=1}^k \alpha_iv_i \qquad (\dagger)
$$
Then if $w\in W$, $\exists \beta_1,\beta_2,\ldots, \beta_k, \beta_0$ such that
$$
w = \sum_{j=1}^k \beta_jv_j + \beta_0v
$$
Now replace $v$ in this expression by $(\dagger)$ to see that
$$
w = \sum_{j=1}^k (\beta_j + \beta_0\alpha_j) v_j
$$
Hence, $w\in V$. This is true for any $w\in W$, so $W\subset V$ as required.

A: Prove the implication two ways.
First prove the forward direction $\implies $:
Let $V=\text{span}(v_1, \ldots, v_k)$ and $W = \text{span}(v_1, \ldots, v_k, v)$ and assume $V=W$. We will prove that $v \in V$. This is trivial since $v \in W = V$ and thus $v \in V$.

Now we prove the backwards implication $\impliedby$:
Assume $v \in V$. We need to prove that $V = W$. To do this, we pick any arbitrary vector $w \in W$ and prove that it is in $V$ and we pick any arbitrary vector $x \in V$ and prove it is in $W$, essentially proving that $V \subseteq W$ and $W \subseteq V$.
Let $x$ be any vector in $V$. Then $x = a_1v_1 + a_2v_2 + \ldots + a_k v_k$ for some coefficients $a_i$. It is evident that $x \in W$ since we can write $x$ as a linear combination of $W$ as such: $x = a_1v_1 + a_2v_2 + \ldots + a_k v_k + 0v$. Thus $V \subseteq W$.
Now let $w$ be any vector in $W$. Then $w = b_1v_1 + b_2v_2 + \ldots + b_kv_k + bv$ and since $v \in V$, it can be written as a linear combination of $(v_1, \ldots, v_k)$ i.e. $ v = c_1v_1 + c_2v_2 + \ldots c_kv_k$ for some coefficients $c_i$. We can then substitute this into the linear combination of $w$:
$$
\begin{align}
w &= b_1v_1 + b_2v_2 + \ldots + b_kv_k + bv \\
  &= b_1v_1 + b_2v_2 + \ldots + b_kv_k + b(c_1v_1 + c_2v_2 + \ldots c_kv_k) \\
  &= (b_1 + bc_1)v_1 + (b_2 + bc_2)v_2 + \ldots + (b_k + bc_k)v_k
\end{align}
$$
and thus $w$ can be written as a linear combination of $(v_1, \ldots, v_k)$ and so $w \in V$. Since our choice of $w$ was arbitrary, $W \subseteq V$.
Since we proved that $V \subseteq W$ and $W \subseteq V$, it follows that $V=W$ as required. $\tag*{$\blacksquare$}$
Note: I would normally use summation notation but pedagogically i've found writing the combinations out explicitly can sometimes be easier to grasp initially for students.

Frank Thomas Purdon (8 November 1857 – ?) was an Irish-born rugby union forward who played club rugby for Newport and Swansea. Purdon was capped four times for Wales including the first Wales international, against England in 1881.

Rugby career
Purdon was selected, while a Newport player, for Richard Mullock's Wales to face England in the first Welsh international at Blackheath on 19 February 1881. Wales were humiliated, and the national press blamed the team selection, with the players apparently chosen to appease the principal rugby clubs rather than selected on the basis of ability. Many of the Welsh players from that game never played for Wales again, but Purdon was back for Wales second international game, played in 1882 against Ireland in Dublin.

Purdon played his last two matches for Wales after transferring to Swansea, and was a member of the Welsh squad that took part in the first Home Nations Championship under the captaincy of Charles Lewis. Wales lost both games and Purdon was not re-selected for the 1884 tournament.
