Short Story Showcase: Keeping House by Michael Blumlein
Saturated Loneliness by Sconsiderato Writer and physician Michael Blumlein once said "There's a detachment that happens as a physician when you're dealing with frightening, horrifying, or sad events, that you maintain an objectivity that's required, and I do that also when I write." This is certainly true of his 1990 short story Keeping House , which tells of the psychological unravelling of a woman whose husband and child have fled, leaving her to fester in their new home and obsess over its cleanliness. She believes an evil presence dwells in the empty adjoining house; it seems to seep through the walls, leaving traces of damp, mould and other nastiness which she must tackle daily. She perpetually cleans but can never seem to rid her own abode of the manifestations of the dank presence from next door. It malingers about the place like a putrid fog only she seems aware of. Is this a real haunting? A spectral manifestation of familial strife? Guilt? Or an un
2012 Dir. Franck Khalfoun Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night Looking for the fight of her life In the real time world, no one sees her at all They all say she's crazy She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before! Sorry! Wrong Maniac . The Maniac I'm actually referring to is Franck Khalfoun's remake/reimagining/reconceptualisation of William Lustig's 1980 'video nasty' of the same name. Despite its higher budget, slick production values and the presence of a star name in the titles, this update - co-written by Alex ( Switchblade Romance/Haute Tension ) Aja - is every bit as unsettling, extreme and confrontational as its predecessor. And it's all shot from the perspective of the killer. While aesthetically far removed from Lustig's grot-fest, Khalfoun's slickly lensed take on the tale of a young man who hunts, scalps and murderlises women on the cruel, grimy streets of downtown LA, Maniac is one
Written by Jeanette Winterson Based on the most notorious of English witch-trials, Jeanette Winterson's latest book, The Daylight Gate , is a tale of magic, superstition, conscience and ruthless murder. It is set in a time when politics and religion were closely intertwined; when, following the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, every Catholic conspirator fled to a wild and untamed place far from the reach of London law. This is Lancashire. This is Pendle. This is witch country. Lurking in deepest, darkest north England, Pendle is a place brimming with bleak moors and dark forests. The events of 1612 are now an established part of English folklore and Pendle is still synonymous with witchcraft and diabolism to this day. Winterson tells of the plight of a group of Pendle women accused of witchcraft and cavorting with the Dark Lord, and the tortures and atrocities they endured at the hands of the law before they were put to death. Reality swirls with augmented fancy. Are these women real w

Interreligious and ecumenical dialogue, a weapon to defuse any conflict
Pope Francis' recent trip to Bahrain left as a balance a call for dialogue, especially with the Muslim world, and for Christian unity.
Antonino Piccione-November 9, 2022-Reading time: 5 minutes

Related Pope in Bahrain: "It is not enough to say that religion is peaceful". Pope in Bahrain calls for peace
"A trip of encounter because the objective was precisely to be in interreligious dialogue with Islam and ecumenical dialogue with Bartholomew. The ideas put forward by the great Imam of al Azhar were in the direction of seeking unity within Islam, respecting differences, and unity with Christians and other religions."
On his return flight from Bahrain, answering questions from journalists, Pope Francis took stock of the apostolic journey that concluded on Sunday, November 6.
A journey born of the Abu Dhabi Document, whose genesis Bergoglio reconstructs, recounting that at the end of an audience at the Vatican of the great imam of Al Azhar invited him to lunch "and sitting at the table we took the bread, broke it and gave it to each other". It was a fraternal lunch and at the end the idea of the Document of Human Brotherhood signed in 2019 was born. It was a God thing, which came out of a friendly lunch'.
The text, the Pontiff revealed, "was for me the basis of the Human Brotherhood. I believe that one cannot think of such a path without a special blessing from the Lord on this path".
We have already reported on the conclusions of the Forum on the dialogue with the leaders of the different confessions.
Let us now recall other highlights of the visit: the embrace of the Catholic community with the Mass presided by Francis at the National Stadium of Bahrain, the meeting with the young people at the Sacred Heart School and, finally, with the bishops, the local clergy, the consecrated, seminarians and pastoral agents.
"Faith is not a privilege but a gift to be shared."
At the entrance to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia for the ecumenical meeting and prayer for peace, the Pope was welcomed by Bishop Paul Hinder, Apostolic Administrator of the Apostolic Vicariate of North Arabia. Here, in the presence of representatives of other Christian confessions, the Pontiff expressed his awareness that "what unites us far outweighs what separates us and that, the more we walk according to the Spirit, the more it will lead us to desire and, with God's help, to restore full unity among us."
Hence the invitation to bear witness. "Ours, in fact, is not so much a discourse of words, but a witness to be shown by deeds; faith is not a privilege to be claimed, but a gift to be shared". Finally, the "Christian distinctive, the essence of witness": to love everyone.
On the third day of the apostolic journey, Francis celebrated Mass in the morning at the Bahrain National Stadium. In the afternoon, he met with some 800 young people at Sacred Heart College, addressing three invitations to them: "not so much to teach you something, but to encourage you".
Embrace the culture of care," the Pope began, "first of all for yourselves: not so much for the exterior, but for the interior, for the most hidden and precious part of yourselves, for your soul, for your heart. The culture of care, therefore, as "an antidote to a world that is closed and permeated by individualism, prey to sadness, which generates indifference and loneliness".
Because if we do not learn to take care of what surrounds us - of others, of the city, of society, of creation - we end up spending our lives like those who run, work hard, do many things, but, in the end, remain sad and lonely because they have never fully tasted the joy of friendship and gratuitousness". The second invitation: sow fraternity and "you will be reapers of the future, because the world will only have a future in fraternity". Be close to everyone, without making differences because "words are not enough: we need concrete gestures carried out daily".
Finally, the last invitation, to make decisions in life. "As at a crossroads," he stressed, "you have to choose, get involved, take risks, decide. But this requires a good strategy: one cannot improvise, live only by instinct or only in an improvised way! But how can we train our 'capacity to choose', our creativity, our courage, our tenacity, how can we sharpen our interior gaze, learn to judge situations, to grasp the essential? In "silent prayer", trusting in the constant presence of God who "does not leave you alone, ready to lend you a hand when you ask him for it". He accompanies and guides us. Not with wonders and miracles, but by speaking gently through our thoughts and feelings".
"What is essential for the Christian is to know how to love like Christ."
In the morning, the Pope met with the Catholic community at the Mass for Peace and Justice at the Bahrain National Stadium. Some 30,000 people were present from the four countries of the Apostolic Vicariate of North Arabia - Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia - but also from other Gulf countries and other territories.
In his homily, Francis took a high note, inviting the faithful to reflect on Christ's strength: love, exhorting everyone to "love in his name, to love as he loved. And what Christ proposes "is not a sentimental and romantic love" - the Pope explained - but a concrete and realistic one because "he speaks explicitly of the wicked and the enemies". And peace cannot be restored - the Pontiff affirmed - if one bad word is answered with another even more bad word, if one slap is followed by another: no, "it is necessary to "deactivate", to break the chain of evil, to break the spiral of violence, to stop brooding resentment, to stop complaining and pitying". But love is not enough "if we limit it to the narrow sphere of those from whom we receive so much love".
The real challenge, in order to be children of the Father and build a world of brothers and sisters, is to learn to love everyone, even the enemy, and this "means bringing to earth the reflection of Heaven," he added, "it is to bring down upon the world the gaze and the heart of the Father, who does not make distinctions, does not discriminate".
And this ability," he concluded, "cannot only be the fruit of our efforts, it is above all a grace" that must be asked of God, because many times we bring many requests to the Lord, but this is the essential thing for the Christian, to know how to love like Christ. To love is the greatest gift.
The last stop was a visit, on the morning of Sunday, November 6, to the Sacred Heart Church in Manama, the oldest in the country, founded in 1939. The Pope met with pastoral workers, who gave him a warm welcome.
He urged them to "firmly build the Kingdom of God in which love, justice and peace are opposed to every form of selfishness, violence and degradation". He then stopped at the service among women prisoners, in prisons, carried out by the nuns.
Before the Bahraini Minister of Justice, present at the meeting as a representative of the government, the Pope recalled: "Caring for prisoners is good for everyone, as a human community, because it is by how the last ones are treated that the dignity and hope of a society is measured".
Finally, he thanked the King for the magnificent welcome he had received in recent days, as well as those who had organized the visit. In a hall of the Sacred Heart complex, he received some of the faithful from other parts of the Gulf region as the last act of the trip, thanking them for their witness.
On his return to Rome after accompanying Pope Francis to the Gulf country, Miguel Angel Ayuso Guixot, Cardinal Prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, expressed his satisfaction for the continuity of relations between Muslims and Christians and the importance of dialogue as an "existential skill". An opportunity for encounter in a world in conflict: "Dialogue, mutual respect, fraternity and peace". If we really want to walk on the paths of peace, we must continue to promote these aspects".

War has been raging in Syria for five years, causing millions to leave the country. This is the story of some who've stayed. When the bloody conflict began, many Syrians had to put their lives on hold until the situation stabilised. But even after five years, there's still no end in sight to the devastating war. Many civilians have lost their homes, their possessions and even loved ones. In an attempt to preserve at least some semblance of normality in their lives, people have learnt to live in the violently conflicted state. Just as in times of peace, they go to the market, meet in cafes, work, marry and organise big weddings. In Damascus, there's been less devastation than in many other big Syrian cities, and so the capital welcomed many internally displaced refugees, but even here, no one is truly safe. Shells explode and kill indiscriminately, destroying roads, cars, buildings and killing anyone who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sameer Alfarra is a cameraman for a Syrian TV Channel. He came to Damascus from Aleppo, fleeing the fighting and leaving his house and businesses behind. As the war progressed, he saw the strength of character in the ordinary Syrians who chose to remain in their home country. After filming people's stories every day, visiting new sites of destruction and losing colleagues as war casualties, he knows better than anyone, what it takes for Syrian people to carry on with their lives, every day. Through his camera lens, he wants to show us the toll war has taken on the Syrian people as well as their unbroken spirit and how, through all the hardships and grief, they still manage to preserve love and hope for a peaceful future.


As viable candidates for production inkjet printing technology go, one would be hard-pressed to find a firm with a greater need than Pinnacle Data Systems of Suwanee, Ga. This poster child status has been replaced by a solution that provided relief to numerous pain points. The company debuted in 1999 as an accounting software company that marketed and customized ERP solutions. Pinnacle added print-and-mail document output services two years later, essentially as an add-on service for its existing software client base.
Now, the firm exclusively focuses on print and electronic document output and hosting services, backed by facilities in Phoenix and Birmingham, Ala., as well as suburban Atlanta, along with a satellite in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which specializes in software development and electronic products. Pinnacle Data Systems employs 240 workers across its network. The company specializes in transactional mail services — the printing and mailing of business-critical communications — as well as electronic presentment and payment, document hosting/archiving, one-to-one marketing communications (transpromo) and client interface development (custom portals).
Its limited adoption of color output due to the high operating costs of toner-based printers. Nothing but extremely high-value documents — high net worth brokerage statements, for example — could justify the more expensive running costs required for toner color output.
Pinnacle Data Systems was often saddled with a large number of SKUs for preprinted client form shells, which also presented warehousing, logistical and obsolescence issues. An example of this was being able to offer distributed print in real time across Pinnacle's three U.S. sites. In the past, it would require ordering materials and getting the supply chain in place for each site before a job could process.
"Prior to adopting inkjet, we also had a large fleet of highlight color printing systems, which were both expensive to run and challenging to keep operational ... highlight color was always a difficult technology from a maintenance/uptime perspective," Reddinger notes.
Facing these issues, Reddinger and his executive team set out to find a solution, exploring both toner and inkjet digital printing alternatives. In the end, the company opted to install Océ JetStream continuous-feed color inkjet presses, in part, because of Canon Solutions America's tight integration with Pinnacle Data Systems' workflow software (PRISMA and SEFAS Innovation).
The move to production inkjet has categorically paid dividends. Color usage is no longer reserved for high-end output products. The color/monochrome inconsistency between electronic and printed content went by the wayside. And, as for the practice of warehousing preprinted shells, its current "white paper factory" structure enables the redirecting of a job to another facility through Pinnacle's workflow management system.
The workflow software integration was fairly straightforward, as Pinnacle was already using Océ's PRISMA. The tricky part, Reddinger recalls, was getting the workflow timing honed in to prevent the machine from stopping, which led to startup waste as the machine cycled up.
The internal efficiencies gained from acquiring the JetStream inkjet presses cannot be underscored enough, however. Pinnacle Data Systems went from 500 SKUs of client-specific forms to roughly 30 specialized applications. This is most remarkable considering that previously, the company had been tying up significant amounts of its working capital in the preprinted forms. "We were essentially stacking cash up on our warehouse shelves in the form of client stock," Reddinger says, wryly.
A second inkjet revolution is about to take place at Pinnacle Data Systems. The company recently installed its first Océ VarioPrint i300 sheetfed inkjet press, and Reddinger calls its acquisition "by far, the smoothest technology upgrade we have ever done." Pinnacle still operates six toner-based, sheetfed color devices through- out its network, and the goal is to transition all of that work to inkjet using the VarioPrint i300, along with treated inkjet stock to convert the remainder of the color toner-based work.
"This will produce increased margins for Pinnacle Data Systems and lower costs for our clients, so everyone will benefit from the VarioPrint i300 platform," he concludes.
Special Note: An important component of the thINK community is learning from one another. Help us create a dynamic community, email ShareYourStory@thinkforum.com so that we can share YOUR inkjet story with the thINK community.

Hungarian chocolate wonder chosen as the best bonbon of the world
award gastronomy success
According to glamour.hu, a Hungarian chocolate manufacture dazzled the jury of the world championship of chocolates with an apple pie inspired caramel bonbon. The Bonbonier Chocolate Manufacture repeated their summer success when they triumphed with their salted caramel & peanut truffle.
The team of Bonbonier decided to enter this year's International Chocolate Awards with their exquisite apple pie & caramel bonbon. In the past three years, they have won seventeen international awards with their special bonbons, truffles and ice cream combination.
Two of their caramel flavoured chocolate creations have already been acknowledged this year.
The award-winning bonbon is filled with crème caramel that is made with cinnamon apple. The soft, silky texture of the apple and the crème caramel is in perfect harmony with the crunchy dark chocolate cover. The aroma of the chocolate is completed with a little cinnamon.
"I started experimenting with caramel this year. Beside the international trends, I wanted to present a sprinkle of Hungary. This is how I came up with the combination of apple pie and caramel" said Nóra Erdélyi, the chocolatier of the manufacture.
"I am very proud of my achievements this year. In August, my salted caramel & peanut truffle was awarded at the Great Taste Awards, while my apple pie inspired bonbon won the bronze medal at the International Chocolate Awards. I usually serve the most popular bonbons in the form of ice cream during summer, and I use them for cakes in winter" added the specialist.

Ethanol supporters including Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey flooded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with letters Monday, urging them to fully support the Renewable Fuel Standard.
Branstad, Reynolds, Northey and three other state leaders wrote to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and President Barack Obama asking them to fully support the ethanol, biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol requirements in the RFS. In May, the EPA proposed scaling back the amount the renewable fuels that must blended into the gasoline supply through next year.
Among the reasons: Growth in cellulosic ethanol has been slower than expected, gasoline consumption has not kept pace with forecasts, and higher ethanol blends such as E85 have not been widely accepted. Most gasoline currently is E10 — 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline.
"As state leaders, we are keenly focused on helping create a business and public policy environment that drives job growth throughout the state, in communities both large and small, urban and rural," Branstad and others wrote.
Iowa leaders say motorists in Iowa buy higher blends of renewable fuels. "When consumers have choices, like they do in Iowa, they choose ethanol and other biofuels." For example, purchases of E85 — gasoline that's 85 percent ethanol — increased 33 percent from 2012 to 2014, state leaders said.
Fuels America, a renewable fuels advocacy group, said more than 200,000 comments have been sent to EPA supporting the RFS. Monday was the last day for comments to be submitted.

Q: n-dimensional "cross product" reference request I have written a paper which involves a "cross product" in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and I would like to have a reference to point to.
Let ${\bf e_1}, \dots, {\bf e_n}$ be the standard basis for $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let
${\bf w_1} = (w_{11},\dots,w_{1n}), \dots, {\bf w_{n-1}}=(w_{n-1\;1},\dots,w_{n-1\;n}) \in \mathbb{R}^n$. Then one can define
$${\bf w_1} \times {\bf w_2} \times \cdots \times {\bf w_{n-1}} = \begin{vmatrix} {\bf e_1} & {\bf e_2} & \cdots & {\bf e_n} \cr w_{11} & w_{12} & \cdots & w_{1n} \cr \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \cr w_{n-1\;1} & w_{n-1\;2} & \cdots & w_{n-1\;n} \end{vmatrix}$$
where the right hand side is a "determinant".
Note: One can express this "cross product" in terms of exterior algebra operations. It is equivalent to $*({\bf w_1} \wedge {\bf w_2} \wedge \cdots \wedge {\bf w_{n-1}})$ where "$*$" is the Hodge dual operator.
Obviously if ${\bf a}, {\bf b} \in \mathbb{R}^3$, then ${\bf a} \times {\bf b}$ is the regular cross product and this $(n-1)$-airy product has the same properties as the regular cross product (it is a vector perpendicular to the vectors being multiplied and the length of this vector is given by the $(n-1)$-volume of the parallelotope spanned by the ${\bf w}$'s).
It was pointed out that this product appears in Susan Colley's "Vector Calculus" text [I have a second edition where this product is explored in problems 29-31 in section 1.6 on "$n$-dimensional geometry"]. Colley said she didn't have a good reference to point to (she couldn't recall where she'd seen it before).
I guess I could just refer to her book, but was wondering if anyone knows a better/historical reference? Or if not a paper does anyone know who I should attribute this to?
Alternatively, it would be nice to know if there is no "original" reference to point to and that this is just common knowledge/folklore.
Thank you!

A: This construction is in Spivak's book "Calculus on Manifolds".

A: Here's a bit of history on cross products that, if not directly useful, will hopefully provide some context. They were defined in "Beno Eckmann, Stetige Losungen linearer Gleichungssysteme, Comment. Math. Helv. 15(1943)" as follows: An $r$-fold cross product on a real vector space $V$ of dimension $n$ with inner product $g$ is a continuous map
\[
P : \underbrace{V \times \cdots \times V}_r \to V
\]
satisfying
1) $P$ is skew;
\[
g\big( P(v_1, \ldots ,v_r),v_i\big) = 0 \ , \ 1 \leq i \leq r \ ,
\]
2) $P$ respects $g$;
\[
g\big(P(v_1, \ldots ,v_r),P(v_1, \ldots ,v_r)\big) = \det g(v_i,v_j) \ .
\]
These were classified by Eckmann and Whitehead (see "George W. Whitehead, Note on cross-sections in Stiefel manifolds, Comment. Math. Helv.37 (1962/1963)") using algebro-topological methods. They were later also classified by Brown and Gray (see "Robert B. Brown and Alfred Gray, Vector cross products, Comment. Math. Helv. 42 (1967)") where those authors included an extra axiom: $P$ has to be multilinear. This extra axiom makes no significant difference to the classification. The classification theorem is:
An $r$-fold cross product on a real vector space $V^n$ exists if and only if we have one of
$\bullet$ $n$ even, $r=1$,
$\bullet$ $n=7$, $r=2$,
$\bullet$ $n=8$, $r=3$,
$\bullet$ $n$ arbitrary, $r=n-1$.
The proof of Brown and Gray uses Hurwitz' structure theorem for composition algebras. If you add a dimension to $V$ you can define a composition algebra, and vice versa. Their paper is my favourite reference. They actually consider a more general situation where the bilinear form is indefinite, that leads to more cross products (but only in the four cases above). They even work with any field of characteristic not $2$.
Using the standard inner product on $V = \mathbb{R}^n$ (which you are implicitly using by referring to $\ast$), your cross product is the last one on the list (it is a cross product in this sense, I was wrong to say otherwise earlier). It is normally just called the volume form, with the appropriate identifications made. I don't know about the earlier history of that particular case, or whether this was thought of as a cross product prior to the papers I've mentioned.
As Ryan points out, in two dimensions there is a $1$-fold cross product, and this is rotation by $90^{\circ}$. That's because $1$-fold cross products are the same as complex structures. The usual $2$-fold cross product on $\mathbb{R}^3$ is the volume form, and fits into the fourth case of the classification.
I cannot miss the chance to briefly mention the role of cross products in geometry. One can define a cross product on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. Kaehler manifolds are those with (parallel) $1$-fold cross products, and the cross products in seven and eight dimensions correspond to the exceptional holonomies.

A: I may be missing something, but what you have is simply a column of the adjoint matrix. Instead of formal vectors, put random entries into the first row of your matrix, call that $A.$ It has a determinant. The basic relation is that $A \mbox{adj}(A) = (\det A) I.$ That is, the "dot product" of any of rows $2$ through $n$ with the first column of $ \mbox{adj}(A)$ is $0.$
The   first column of $ \mbox{adj}(A)$ is exactly what your formal determinant produces. This is a standard way to present the traditional cross product in basic physics classes.

The Externsteine relief is a monumental rock relief depiction of the Descent from the Cross scene, carved into the side of the Externsteine sandstone formation in the Teutoburg Forest. The Externsteine are located near Detmold, now in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia but in the Middle Ages in the Duchy of Saxony.

It is the oldest relief of this type known north of the Alps, dated to the high medieval period (likely the 12th century).

Description
The relief measures 4.8 m high by 3.7 m wide.

It is divided into three parts, or registers. The largest, central register shows the Descent from the Cross scene itself. At the center is the cross, to the right is a figure identified as  Nicodemus. The legs of this figure have been lost since at least the 17th century, but it is shown at an elevated position, aiding in the recovery of Jesus' body from the cross. The figure was standing on a supporting structure (identified either as a plant bent by Nicodemus' weight, or as a chair). Nicodemus lowers the body of Jesus towards Joseph of Arimathea, who is standing to the left of the cross. To the left of Joseph is the figure of Mary, Mother of Jesus (the head of this figure has been lost), with her hand supporting the head of her son's corpse. Opposite Mary, on the right side of the scene, is John the Apostle, holding a book.

The upper register shows the torso of the ascended Christ wearing a cross halo and a victory flag. Alongside the flag, the figure is holding a small representation of a human figure with raised hands. To the left and right, anthropomorphic representations of Sun and Moon are shown, holding drapes.

The lower register shows two kneeling figures, a naked bearded man and a clothed figure of undetermined sex, both of them caught in the coils of the neck and tail of a two-legged, winged dragon. These figures were variously identified as Adam and Eve (representing the fallen state of man in general), or as a Saxon warrior and priest.

Dating
Goethe writing in 1824 identified the relief as a work of the Carolingian period. In the same year Karl Theodor Menke dated it to the 12th century. Art historians of the later 19th and early 20th century tended to support Goethe's view of an early date of origin, but a re-examination of the evidence by a team of art historians in 1950 resulted in a shift of communis opinio towards a high medieval date. The view of the relief as of Carolingian date remains a minority position, especially popular by authors who would like to identify the "plant-like" structure as a representation of Irminsul, e.g. in a  1997  anthroposophical publication.

Today, the consensus remains that the relief probably dates to 1160/70.

Refreshing, uplifting, zesty, slightly sweet; lemon balm is an herb that has the ability to improve your mood just by its smell.
Nibbling the leaves takes you a refreshing step further into a subtle yet satisfying citrus-y flavor. Lemon balm is also called Balm Mint. It imparts a subtle lemon flavor and from a culinary perspective is a nice addition to dishes both sweet and savory that might benefit from slightly lemony, sweet, and refreshing flavor notes. Because it contains an interesting spectrum of chemical compounds, like rosmarinic acid, the Journal of Meat Science (yeah I know, who knew there was a peer reviewed journal dedicated to meat) suggests that lemon balm also has the potential to be a food preservative; making it a healthier option.
For all of its subtle flavor, lemon balm packs many other healthful properties. Just the scent is a mood booster and improves mental focus. Sipping it as tea, which is actually my favorite way to enjoy it, is refreshing and can help manage stress by acting as a mild sedative. Lemon Balm also has amazing antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial qualities. Research demonstrates it is highly effective in exerting a direct inhibitory effect on systemic viruses like the herpes virus. It also has exhibited promising success in the treatment of Grave's disease and instances of hyperthyroidism. Whether eating it in foods, sipping as a tea, or supplementing it in other ways, lemon balm can play a strong role in helping to decrease oxidative stress and repair DNA damage within cell plasma. Topically, lemon balm helps protect and repair damage to the dermal layer and it also acts as a fantastic insect repellent. Keep a jar of lemon balm salve handy for minor skin irritations and issues including relieving the irritation of pesky bug bites.
Or if you're feeling really adventurous, you can try the nettle lemon balm cupcakes below. Oh yes... yummalicious.
Word of caution: if you are taking medication for underactive thyroid, it's possible the lemon balm can inhibit the uptake and assimilation.
Make sure you have your gloves on and give your nettle leaves a quick wash in cold water and remove the stems. Do the same with your lemon balm, but you don't have to worry about stems.
Steam the nettles and lemon balm or quickly par boil for 5 minutes to remove the sting. Drain and puree. *I have skipped the steaming before to limit the amount of processing to the greens. And it tasted lovely—but definitely stronger. You have to add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the leaves to get them to puree properly. However, if you prefer a slightly milder flavour and an easier go of it, give them a quick steam.
Beat eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add vanilla, oil, lemon juice and nettle lemon balm puree. Mix until just combined.
In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt. Mix into the nettle lemon balm mixture—again just until combined and smooth. You don't want to overmix.
Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 22-30 minutes—check with a toothpick for doneness. Makes 48 mini cupcakes.
Beat butter and cheese until light and creamy.
Add sugar and continue beating. Add lemon juice & zest and continue beating until smooth.


We are continuing with our Christmas in July posts here at One Crazy Stamper.
Today my card features an older High Hopes stamp called "Lg. Christmas Mouse". He seems to have gotten himself in quite the predicament and it makes me giggle.
After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I used my circle cutter to cut him out as well as a background piece of cardstock and popped him up with pop dots. I added silver Wink of Stella to the lights (where they join the cord) and clear Wink of Stella on all the light bulbs. An embossing folder gave me some texture on the piece of white cardstock behind him. The sentiment was typed on my computer and it came from the Twas the night before Christmas poem..I just changed a few words. The sentiment is adhered with pop dots and a mini clip with ribbon. Sparkly gumdrops and ribbon finish off my card.
I'm looking forward to seeing your creations in this month's Christmas In July Challenge - here's the link to come play along.


Simultaneously with the graduation show-concerts of Kiev circus academy there took place one more important event, and namely the opening of a unique circus ground.
On22th June in Kiev opened a new concert ground "KOBZOV", a banquet hall which can seat up to 1500 guests, a spectators' hall which can seat up to 3000 people. The hall was built according to the world standards and equipped with the most modern technologies which have no analogues in Ukraine.
In the framework of celebration and opening of the concert-hall there was an opening night of the exclusive "Comedy Crazy Show" and the new Ukrainian musical "Wanna Fresh" by the show-ballet "A-6" and the group "4 kings". The severe critics evaluated the flawless director's work of Maria Remneva who successfully combined circus turns and the original clownery with theatrical performances of the ballet "A-6" and the group "4 kings".
The show-programme consisted of 15 unique turns, there were "The singing trapeze" by Vladimir Tatarchuk and Joanne Naglee-MacMenamin; the duet "Paradise" by Aanastasiya Krutikova and Artyem Panasjuk; the duet "Non-stop", "Tango" by Katerina and Sergey Melashenko; the juggler Vladimir Guminjuk; "Flame" by the equilibrist Jury Ovsjannikov; "Lostshadows" by Vladimir Kostenko and Anton Savchenko; the air acrobat Anastasiya Makeeva; turnists under the direction of Igor Baibak; "Zaichik" by Aleksey Krasnov; the acrobatic couple Nikolay Shcherbak and Sergey Popv; "The Waiter of the Year" by Nazar Skladannyi; the acrobatic group of four "Golden Stars". And also the ballet "A-6", "4 kings", the clowns' group "ART-obstrel" and the ballet "Vatan".
The guests were met by the President of the company and the founder of the halls "KOBZOV" Nikolay Kobzov. Among the special guests invited to the festive opening of the ground "Kobzov" were Alexander Kalmykov – Director-general of the Company "Rosgostsirk" (Russia) and Julia Melnikova – Director of the touring department "Rosgostsirk" (Russia).
After the opening night of the musical there was an non-official part of the event during which the representatives of the international circuses, invited to the opening of the hall "Kobzov", could discuss the seen show. As the organizers themselves put it, such meetings are necessary in order to build a chance for the representatives of the interested organizations to get closer acquainted, to strengthen the work and friendly ties.


In the Summer of 1991, a team of Los Alamos nuclear weapons scientists delivered a briefing to the Defense Science Board, provocatively titled "Potential Uses for Low-Yield Nuclear Weapons in the New World Order."
Shortly after Bill Clinton entered the White House, Representatives John Spratt (D-S.C.) and Elizabeth Furse (D-Ore.) introduced an attachment to the FY 1994 defense authorization bill, prohibiting U.S. weapons labs from conducting any research and development on low-yield nuclear weapons. The measure, which was passed and signed into law by President Clinton, defined low-yield nukes as having a yield of five kilotons or less.
Destroying a target buried 1,000 feet into rock would require a nuclear weapon with the yield of 100 kilotons. That is 10 times the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Even the effects of a small bomb would be dramatic. A 1-kiloton nuclear weapon detonated 20 to 50 feet underground would dig a crater the size of Ground Zero in New York and eject 1 million cubic feet of radioactive debris into the air. Detonating a similar weapon on the surface of a city would kill a quarter of a million people and injure hundreds of thousands more.
Nuclear weapons cannot be engineered to penetrate deeply enough to prevent fallout. Based on technical analysis at the Nevada Test Site, a weapon with a 10-kiloton yield must be buried deeper than 850 feet to prevent spewing of radioactive debris. Yet a weapon dropped from a plane at 40,000 feet will penetrate less than 100 feet of loose dirt and less than 30 feet of rock. Ultimately, the depth of penetration is limited by the strength of the missile casing. The deepest current earth penetrators, the B61 Mod 11, can burrow is 20 feet of dry earth. Casing made of even the strongest material cannot withstand the physical forces of burrowing through 100 feet of granite, much less 850 feet.
The Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) states that the number, composition, and character of the nation's nuclear forces ought to reflect the reality that the Cold War is over and that required capabilities may now need to be different. For example, current weapons in the stockpile cannot hold at risk a growing category of potential targets deeply buried in tunnel facilities, possibly containing chemical, biological, nuclear, or command and control facilities. As a result the NPR endorsed NNSA's Advanced Concepts Initiative that could provide options that could be considered for future production and deployment against Hard and Deeply Buried Targets [HDBT]. Also, as required by the NPR, it would provide an opportunity for NNSA and its contractors to exercise critical skills necessary for the long-term sustainment of the nation's defense.
The Bush administration envisioned Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP) as a weapon to destroy deep underground targets, while others believe the B-61 Mod 11, a weapon already in the arsenal, accomplishes that goal. The study of a Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator evaluated modifications to existing nuclear weapons that do not require nuclear testing. The outcome of an RNEP study would be a recommendation to proceed with selective modifications to existing weapons that would ultimately strengthen deterrence by improving the credibility of strategic forces against hard and deeply buried facilities.
In the 2001 Defense Authorization Bill, the Congress directed NNSA to study whether it could take an existing nuclear weapon and encase it in such a way so that it will penetrate the earth before it explodes. The intent is to hold at risk hard and deeply buried targets.
One effort to improve the US capability against HBDTs is a joint DoD/DOE phase 6.2/6.2A Study started in April 2002. This effort will identify whether an existing warhead in a 5,000 pound class penetrator would provide significantly enhanced earth penetration capabilities compared to the B61 Mod 11. Livermore is working on modifying the existing B-83 gravity bomb, while Los Alamos is studying modifications to the B-61 bomb.
By direction of the Nuclear Weapons Council, and in response to an Air Force requirement, the initial focus of the Advanced Concepts Program was the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, for which $15.5 million was requested in FY 2003 as part of the Directed Stockpile Research and Development activity. The three-year RNEP Feasibility Study was to assess the feasibility of modifying one of two candidate nuclear weapons currently in the stockpile to provide enhanced penetration capability into hard rock geologies and develop out-year costs for the subsequent production phases, if a decision is made by the Nuclear Weapons Council to proceed. This work complies with existing legislation, including section 3136 of the FY 1994 National Defense Authorization Act. The FY 2003 budget contains no other funds for Phase 6.X advanced concept study activities. The Congress authorized the budget request of $15 million for the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, but prohibited expenditure of these funds until the Secretary of Defense submits a report setting forth: 1) the military requirements for the RNEP; 2) the nuclear weapons employment policy for the RNEP; 3) the detailed categories or types of targets that the RNEP is designed to hold at risk; and 4) an assessment of the ability of conventional weapons to address the same types of categories of targets that the RNEP is designed to hold at risk.
The FY2004 budget request for the Advanced Concepts program ($21m) included $15 million allocated to the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator. This program will examine whether or not two existing warheads in the stockpile -- the B61 and the B83 -- can be sufficiently hardened through case modifications and other work to allow the weapons to survive penetration into various geologies, with high reliability, before detonating. The remaining funds will be divided between the weapons laboratories for studies of other advanced concepts work. Feasibility and Cost Studies were to include the NWC-approved Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP) study (subject to Secretary of Defense Report required by Section 3146 of P.L.107-314, Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2003).
On 16 September 2003, the Senate considered two amendments to the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act for FY 2004 that would prohibit the use of Department of Energy funds for nuclear weapons development. An amendment authored by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that would have eliminated the $6 million in the bill for the Advanced Concepts Initiative. That amendment, which was defeated by a vote of 53-41, also would have reduced funding for the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP). Senator Feinstein's amendment would have specifically prohibited the use of funds for Department of Energy activities relating to the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, Advanced Weapons Concepts, modification of the readiness posture of the Nevada Test Site, and the Modern Pit Facility. Senator Reed's amendment, which prohibited the use of funds for certain activities relating to advanced nuclear weapons concepts, including the robust nuclear earth penetrator, later passed the Senate in a voice vote.
The Stockpile Services Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator line item received $14,577,000 in FY2003 and $7,435,000 in FY2004. The Stockpile Services Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP) category includes funding for the completion of the Phase 6.2/2A Air Force-led study. Activities include participating in integrated NNSA-DoD project teams for development of operational requirements; systems design and integration; development of data downselect packages; planning and cost analysis; phenomenology studies; and the executive joint study group. It also includes managing multi-laboratory independent review team activities, and preparing and conducting hardware demonstration tests for candidate designs. In FY 2005 the request for $27,577,000 was intended to cover subsystem tests and a full system test of the proposed design will be completed. All NNSA headquarters and laboratory activities for the RNEP study are coordinated with complementary activities by the Air Force's Air Combat Command and Air Armament Center in conjunction with the responsible directorate of the Air Staff (AF/XON).
On October 25, 2005 US Senator Pete Domenici indicated that negotiators working toward an agreement on funding for the Department of Energy for FY2006 had agreed to drop funding for continued research on the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP) project at the request of the National Nuclear Security Administration. Domenici is chairman of the Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee and was leading the Senate contingent working with the House to reconcile differences in the FY2006 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill-among them funding for RNEP. Domenici indicated that at the request of the NNSA, the Senate has agreed to drop the $4.0 million it provided in its bill for the DOE national laboratories, including Sandia National Laboratories, to continue RNEP research. The House bill had no funding for RNEP. "The focus will now be with the Defense Department and its research to earth penetrating technology using conventional weaponry. The NNSA indicated that this research should evolve around more conventional weapons rather than tactical nuclear devices. With this department change in policy, we have agreed not to provide DOE with funding for RNEP," Domenici said.


This report is a little late, but better late than never. I thought it would be fun to paddle somewhere new so after looking through the UK rivers guide, I decided upon the lower Dee. The trip starts at Llangollen just below Town Falls and finishes at Newbridge.
William came second out of eleven in his first division 5 race.
James came first out of a field of 18 in the lightning race.
Ryan had to pull out out the division 5 race because he hit his paddle on the bottom of the shallow lake and ended up pulling a muscle.


Claire can host up to 3 dogs per day for day care.
I had three dogs at one point and they all loved Claire! She always helps me walk my husky and my dachshund and she just has a way with them that's amazing!
Claire did a wonderful job watching our 2 Springer Spaniels for the weekend. She kept us up to date with photos. She was on time everyday and even took them on walks for us. 5 star service for sure.
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to watch your dogs!
Claire did such an excellent job dog sitting! She clearly demonstrates how much she loves animals and exceeded all my expectations. I will most definitely use her again.
I have two dogs and a cat at home. Claire is very flexible about this and completely capable. I haven't been disappointed yet with any of her stays. She always gives the dogs walks and even has time to send updates on the cat too!
I have three terriers and live in a pretty small house. Claire is very good with utilizing the space and making sure that my dogs get out of the house on regular walks and potty breaks. She is very reliable with scheduling as well as letting me know how my dogs are doing. Very trustworthy!
I have had Claire sit for me several times and am always happy with the care my dog gets. I have an 8-year-old lab who has bad hips. Claire, having a similarly sized older dog with the same hip problems, is very good with my lab. She is a gentle, patient caretaker and stays attentive, sending me updates over the phone. My Daisy always is very happy when Claire comes to sit.
Claire is one of my best sitters. She is extremely responsible and always on time. My dogs, two Shar Pei's, love her. She takes them on walks, lets them out frequently, feeds them, and clearly loves them as well. What stands out most about Claire is how genuinely caring she is, always keeping herself accountable. Also very good communicator, constantly sending photo and text updates!
Claire is very responsible and a dog owner/lover. These qualities make her the perfect choice for watching over your furry family member(s). If your dog loves the outdoors, walks and playtime they will love having Claire as their sitter.
Home full time; always playful.
I have always raised and taken care of dogs. I have taken care of my own dogs ranging from Shar Pei's to Pitbulls and have also dog sat and walked my neighbors' dogs. I am extremely attentive, fun, always willing to play, and pay very close attention to detail. I have volunteered at animals shelters as well and am competent in all types of basic animal care. I am always willing to do the harder work such as grooming and waste cleaning. You can be assured that I will be a reliable, good-communicator while caring for your dog(s). Most importantly, I will build a trusting relationship with your dog(s) while their owner is away, making sure they are safe, well cared for and well fed!
If they are friendly and if they have any health issues. No breed preferences.
10 years, 3 mo. old, 110 lbs.
I will play with them with their toys, go on long walks around the neighborhood or at nearby parks depending on your comfort level, and maybe even go for a swim if they are interested!


Innovative, cutting-edge products keep rolling out of Liniar's Design and Development department, and they're kicking off 2019 with a bang. Resurgence, the modern world's answer to the PVC-U flush sash, features a 70mm sash within an 80mm frame and comes ready for triple glazing. While the traditional flush sash has been around for decades, centuries even, Liniar's new design gives it 21st century appeal with A+ WER ratings, 1.2 W/m2K U-values and a whole host of accreditations. Designed to look like a traditional timber window, but with benefits like low maintenance and excellent energy efficiency, Resurgence is perfect for period, as well as new-build properties.
With cutting-edge features, including the double-rebated seal that Liniar has combined with its patented co-extruded bubble gasket, Resurgence proves that you can reinvent the wheel. Gone are the unsightly exterior seals that crowd the shadow gaps of traditional flush sash windows, and the apparent overlap seen on older PVC-U casements. In its place is a PVC-U flush sash system that breaks the mould and provides something revolutionary to the market.
Resurgence boasts a flush exterior, offering clean lines and the ability to be fully foiled in glazing areas, including the outer frame and transoms. This process allows the window to provide a more authentic appearance, mimicking a timber window, but with the energy and security benefits of PVC-U. The Resurgence Flush Sash PVC-U window from Liniar is available welded or fully mechanically jointed from a limited number of fabricators – and for property owners that are looking for something extra special, Resurgence is also suited for the 'Timberweld' process.
With PAS24, Secured by Design and Part Q security accreditations already under its belt, Resurgence looks to change the face of flush sash windows in the future. Designed to fully colour-match the rest of the Liniar suite of windows, bi-fold doors, patio and french doors and conservatory or lantern roofs, Resurgence flush sash windows come in a wide choice of colours from stock, as well as other colours on longer lead times. With the Liniar 10-year guarantee as standard and support from a team with more than 500 years' experience in window technology, Resurgence is only the starting point for Liniar's New Year.

Q: Pandas change a categorical column that references a numerical column into several columns Imagine a data frame with 3 columns, two numerical and one categorical.
'a' and 'b' are numerical, and 'c' is categorical.
The 'c' has only two categories, and I want to convert the a and b columns into 4 columns, so I have category_1_a, category_2_a, category_1_b, category_2_b
so going from:
col_a.  col_b.     c.
2.       4.     cat1
3.       5.     cat2

to:

cat_1_col_a cat_1_col_b cat_2_col_a cat_2_col_b
2.                4          na           na
na                na         3             5

A: First select columns by list for subset, thn use DataFrame.set_index with append=True for add column c to index, reshape by DataFrame.unstack, sorting by second level and last flatten MultiIndex:
#columns for processing
cols = ['col_a','col_b', 'c']
df1 = df[cols].set_index('c', append=True).unstack().sort_index(level=1, axis=1)
df1.columns = df1.columns.map(lambda x: f'{x[1]}_{x[0]}')
print (df1)
   cat1_col_a  cat1_col_b  cat2_col_a  cat2_col_b
0         2.0         4.0         NaN         NaN
1         NaN         NaN         3.0         5.0

Last if need append DataFrame to original with remove columns by list use:
df = df.drop(cols, axis=1).join(df1)

If need first columns from new DataFrame:
df = df1.join(df.drop(cols, axis=1))

A: You can try:
new_df = df[['col_a.','col_b.', 'c.']].set_index('c.', append=True).unstack()

# rename columns
new_df.columns = [f'{y}_{x}' for x,y in new_df.columns]

# rearrange columns
new_df =  new_df.sort_index(axis=1)

Output:
   cat1_col_a.  cat1_col_b.  cat2_col_a.  cat2_col_b.

Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites than any other country – 50 of them, in fact. When you add to this Italy's astounding diversity, beautiful countryside, sunny beaches, fabulous shopping and its incredible food and drink, we can't understand why we aren't there already!
The Italian peninsula is home to two microstates - San Marino and the Vatican City.
Italy is home to three of the largest cathedrals in the world - St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the Duomo in Milan and the Duomo in Florence (St. Paul's in London sneaks in to take second place).
The hillsides around Sorrento are filled with the invigorating scent of lemons and oranges in the Springtime. There is a warmth to the air – perfect for dining al fresco or exploring on foot along the pretty cobbled streets of this idyllic coastal town.
Winter snow can be enjoyed in the Italian Dolomites or the Alps – there's nothing better than finishing a day's skiing with a huge dish of pasta and some of the most stylish après ski in the world.
In Sicily, you can enjoy warmer weather even in December – unless you are on its peaks of Piano Battaglia and Mount Etna, which offer fantastic skiing opportunities!
Enjoy a pizza in the town that claims its invention – Naples, then explore the vast and nearby archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Buried in metres of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, these towns offer an unforgettable glimpse into life 2,000 years ago.
Ditch the Venetian water taxi and instead explore Venice's bàcari Cicchetti. Cicchetti means "very small" in the local dialect – and is something like an Italian version of Tapas. Try these tiny tasty bites at the bàcari of All' Arco and Antiche Carampane, washed down with a glass of prosecco.
Once favoured by European Aristocracy and now the haunt of celebrities, beautiful Lake Como is framed by the spectacular backdrop of the Grigna mountains, pretty towns with winding cobbled streets and lakeside promenades, with luxury villas perched along the shore. Relax by the lake, hike in the mountains, and enjoy the local café culture for a break with a difference.
May and June are the perfect months to enjoy the wonderful coves and beaches of Sardinia. The island has some great hiking trails which take in Sardinia's nuraghi – mysterious Bronze Age stone ruins shaped like beehives – and a mix of Carthaginian and Roman ruins, Pisan churches and Spanish Baroque. When you've finished exploring, reward yourself with a dinner of. locally-caught seafood.
Each Italian region has very distinct styles and specialities, but one thing the best Italian food has in common, wherever in the country, is wonderful, simple, fresh ingredients cooked well.

Hales, who is an integral part of England's limited-overs sides, will be making a return to United after having played four matches for the team last season. The explosive England batsman is replacing fellow countryman Ian Bell in the United squad.
"I am delighted to be back with Islamabad United for this year's PSL. I can't wait to play in front of our passionate fans," Hales said.

Born and raised in central Louisiana, life has taken me literally around the world and back again. It was in 1989, while living near Wűrzburg, Germany that I first realized my desire to own my own shop. While living in Germany I learned to sew and my love for fabric began. I have always loved warm and cozy dwellings, even as a small child, but realizing that my style was "cottage" & "shabby chic" in nature had never crossed my mind.
My world travels have made me appreciate precious items from home, like antique pictures and figurines from my grandmother, while at the same time gathering treasures from the countries that I have visited. I have spent my life making gifts and surprising people. It never even entered my mind that I would one day take my crafty talents and combine them with my computer skills to start a phenomenal little business!!
I teach computer science at a local college, but being a single mom I had decided to start sewing to earn some supplemental money. In the spring of 2010 I had started working on a blog, after a friend had told me about Notes From a Cottage Industry. It is amazing how one blog can serve as inspiration and help a single mom revive her dreams of many years past!! My serger needed a new needle though so I went to the local sewing shop. When I walked in to the shop and started talking to the owner, it was then that I discovered that today's sewing and embroidery machines interface with computers. WAIT A MINUTE…tell me this again… I can get software that is similar to what I teach young adults to use and create my own embroidery designs??? Needless to say my brain was going 90 to nothing!! :D But just a second Jen! You are sewing to earn money, how are you EVER going to get one of these machines????
One of the most precious things about Curiosity Cottage is that my kids love helping and coming up with designs!! My boys actually want to learn the business too. What is so AMAZING about this path that God so clearly wants me to be on is that when HE is our CEO, nothing is impossible!!

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – Three siblings from Colorado will head to Spain to the World Freestyle Kayak Championships this summer. A family in Glenwood Springs has paddled together since they were in elementary school.
Kady, Dally and Kenny Kellogg represent half of the entire USA freestyle team this year. The cold runoff in the Colorado River is a second home to lots of Colorado athletes.
The Kellogg kids have grown up playing in this river.
"This wave right here is challenging. It's a good place to train," Kady told CBS4.
"So much fun… you get out there with your whole family, you have everyone there. It is so much fun," Dally added.
"I help coach them. They help coach me. We just had a paddle together as a family," Kenny added.
For now, it's all about training and raising enough money to send the entire family to compete in Spain because a family that paddles together sticks together.
They have designed their own shirts, hats and logo for sale to help fund the travel to compete. If you would like to support them you can message them about "KelloggShowKids" merchandise on their Instagram page.

Regions lead the price growth pack
Provincial markets stole the asking price spotlight from the main centres in January, according to the latest Trade Me Property Price Index.
Monday, February 24th 2020
The property market nationwide started off the year strong with the national average asking price up by 3% year-on-year to $666,900 in January.
Every region - except Auckland - saw an annual increase in property prices and seven provinces kicking off 2020 with record average asking prices.
Head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries says typically Auckland and Wellington hog the headlines when it comes to property prices.
But the provinces have been increasing considerably with some even experiencing strong double-digit price growth, he says.
"The average asking price in Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Manawatu/Whanganui, Marlborough, Nelson/Tasman, West Coast, and Southland all hit new highs in January.
"Out of the record-breaking regions, Southland, West Coast and Manawatu/Whanganui were the standouts with a year-on-year increase of 15.4%, 14.4% and 18.6% respectively."
This makes it a great time for those thinking of selling their house, he says.
"In January we saw a 6% jump in the number of views on properties for sale compared to last January, while stock was down 22% on the year prior.
"With record high prices in a lot of regions, demand for properties on the rise and low stock, it's more a seller's market."
While Wellington price growth may not be shining as brightly as it has in the recent past, prices in the region are holding strong with January's average asking price up by almost 10% year-on-year to $677,850.
Jeffries says with demand for Wellington properties rising 11% and supply falling 20% on January 2019, it's not surprising to see house prices on the rise.
"Property prices in the Wellington region took off in mid-2016, later than the Auckland market, and have shown no real signs of slowing since."
"Taking a closer look at the region, property prices increased in all districts within the Wellington region in January, with Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt seeing incredible year-on-year growth to reach new records."
Meanwhile, price growth in the Auckland region remained relatively flat with a decline of 0.3% year-on-year to $916,250 in January.
But Jeffries says they are seeing growing demand for Auckland properties, with the average number of property views on Trade Me rising by 31% in January, as compared to December.
That means they expect prices in the region to rise in the coming months, he says.
"The number of properties on the market in Auckland was down 3% on December and with demand on the rise… This could be a perfect storm and so we expect the market to bounce back in 2020, with house prices rising once more."
Of interest is the fact that the average asking price for apartments in the Auckland region continues to go from strength-to-strength with an annual increase of 8% to $715,250 in January.
Jeffries says apartments continue to be popular with buyers across New Zealand, with the average asking price for apartments nationwide rising by a solid 6.5% to $672,700 in January.
"Apartments are a great way for Kiwis to get a foot on the property ladder. They are typically warmer, drier and require less maintenance than a house, so you can see why these types of properties are attractive for many prospective buyers."

Hurray – Today I received the most wonderful letter from a little girl in Houston what I think the world of. It was so nice the way you wrote to me, so kindly and the letter I wrote to you the other day, sure made me think. I don't know why I wrote like that. Florence Dear even if I did think that I misunderstood it I shouldn't have written back to sarcastic and impudent. I am sure sorry it came about that way. Let's not say any more about it, what do you say. The old devil must have been in me. Florence you say that maybe I don't care anymore. Maybe I don't look forward to your letters like I used to. Florence my Dearest you cannot realize how good those letters are to me. Johnson is always kidding me about it. He can always tell, when he comes home, whether I have gotten a letter or not. He says that I the longest face on me when I don't get one. I was surely disappointed yesterday, when I did not get a letter from you. Florence maybe my letters have been rambling, but listen Dear don't you realize I went through some misery since July 5. Don't you think that may have something to do with things. Florence I care just as much as I ever did, can't you realize it and believe me. I don't see why you can't. I did hurt you the way I talked but I really did not mean to and now the mirror has reflected and made me feel a little uncomfortable. But we are going to forget all that foolish stuff, don't you think our little sarcasism is foolish. I do. Florence I think that I know what is wrong. I am just jealous. But I am going to cut it out. It doesn't pay. I am foolish too. very foolish at that. Florence if you could just have a wireless and hear some conversations some time you would see who cared and how much.
I must tell you how my leg is getting along. Wed nite I went to work and about 3 am it started swelling so I had them bring me home. It was not use those. They say that is customary after laying up so long. Just as soon as I went to bed it all left. My leg doesn't hurt anymore and doesn't swell, so I will go to work tonite. Of course I don't do much. But I am going to sit down, C?
Florence it sure seems years since I have seen you. Every day I count one day off my list. Just how many more days will it be. You can't realize how you run through my daily thoughts. I have been gone six weeks and it seems like six years. But let's try to let time take it's course dear and it won't be so long.
First of all, great blog!
Thanks for sharing this, I'm impressed you can read the handwriting!
Was the radio technology so developed already? Or does he talk about something else? Any ideas?
I am glad you enjoy reading it. The handwriting can sometimes really be a puzzle! I do have a slight advantage in that my grandmother's handwriting never changed much, so I am used to reading it. My grandfather's can be a bit trickier since he took to typing out letters later in life.
In regard to the wireless question, I believe he is referring to the early amateur radio communications. I am guessing he was wishing she had one of the radios there so she could eavesdrop on their conversations and see how sincerely he (my grandfather) was missing her.


The A. Proctor Group Ltd, renowned for providing high quality, innovative solutions for the construction industry has supplied its Profloor Levelling System to contractors Andrew Towns Wadey Builders to help with the conversion of a Grade II listed building in Reigate to residential flats.
The Linden Court development in Lesbourne Road designed by PRP Architects will provide 38 new homes.
The former office buildings required a floating floor acoustic treatment to the existing out of level floors, and Profloor Levelling System was selected as the ideal solution.
Developed to allow a level finished floor to be installed on a cambered, stepped, or uneven sub-floor, Profloor Levelling System is typically used on structural concrete floors where the differences in level are too great.The floor is levelled by inserting packers in each levelling base to adjust the level of the timber battens, and create a level finished floor, with no need for wet trades in the process.
Offering the perfect solution for conversions and new build developments of flats where impact and airborne sound reduction is mandatory, the Profloor Levelling System is easy to install, and enables developers and contractors to meet the performance requirements of the current building regulations.
