Grouse Malting Featured in Company Week!
Last week our growing business was featured in Colorado's Company Week!
View the article here and learn more about Grouse's story.
There was a mis-quote in the article: Twila searched "gluten-free malt" and found nothing. There were certainly many hits on gluten-free grains even in 2009.
We believe all people deserve access to high-quality food & beverages regardless of an allergy or intolerance. Grouse Malting & Roasting Company rose to the occasion of filling commercial brewery ingredient needs and is now your choice supplier for gluten-free malt and roasted grains.


I watched in horror as a total of 690,000 new vehicles averaging $24,000 each were sold under the Cash For Clunkers program in 2009. The government's $4,000 rebate for trading in your car ended up hurting hundred of thousands of people's finances instead: Your $20,000 invested in 2009 in the S&P 500 index would now be worth over $50,000 today, given that the stock markets are now at record highs.
Buying too much car is one of the easiest and biggest financial mistakes someone can make. Besides the purchase price of a car, you've got to also pay car insurance, maintenance, parking tickets, and traffic tickets.
When you add everything up, I'm pretty sure you'll be shocked at how much it really costs to own a car!
The 1/10th rule for car buying is simple. Spend no more than 1/10th your gross annual income on the purchase price of a car. If you make the median per capita income of ~$42,000 a year, limit your vehicle purchase price to $4,200 if you must buy one. Absolutely do not go and spend the median car price of $34,000!
A median income earner buying the median priced car that now costs $34,000 in 2018 is financial suicide. Who spends ~81 percent of their gross salary on the purchase price of a car? Worse yet, after you pay a 20 percent effective tax rate on your median $42,000 gross per capita income, you're now spending ~95 percent of your net income on a car!
That's crazy and a sure path to financial mediocrity. Don't expect the government or your rich uncle to bail you out.
1) Maintenance costs. The more you drive, the more you will pay to maintain your vehicle. With thousands of parts per car, something will inevitably break or need upgrading. You've also got to pay for insurance, parking tickets, and traffic tickets. The thrill of owning a new or new used car lasts for only several months, but the pain of paying the same car payment lasts for years.
2) Opportunity cost. When you buy a car you lose the opportunity of investing your money in assets that will likely grow and pay you dividends in the future. Everybody knows to save early and often to allow for the effects of compounding. Buying too much car is like negative compounding! Imagine how much money you would have accumulated if you invested $300-$500 a month in the stock market since 2009 instead of paying for a car.
3) Stress. When you pay more than 1/10th your income for a car, you will become more stressed. You'll feel stressed whenever you get a door ding after parking your car at the local grocery store. You'll get stressed whenever you incur wheel rash after parallel parking too close to the curb. Sometimes when you're driving in traffic, you'll feel more on edge because you don't want anybody damaging your car.
If you are within 1/10th of your income, you drive and park, stress-free. You stop caring about door dings, bumper scrapes, even break-ins. Stress kills, folks.
4) It makes you want more. The nicer your car, the more you want to spend on other things. You start thinking stupid thoughts like, "I've got to buy a matching chronometer watch, driving shoes, and outfit." You start paying $20 for valet because you want people to see you come out of your car instead of park for free.
5) It makes you feel stupid. Deep down, you know that if you can't pay cash for your car, you can't afford the car. Each payment you make is a reminder how foolish you are with your money. Why would you want to be reminded every single month of being dumb? Again, the thrill of owning a nice car fades after about six months, but the payment stays the same for years.
Look, everybody makes dumb financial moves all the time. The important thing is to recognize your mistake, stop, and fix it.
Here are some things you can do if you've bought too much car.
1) Own your car until it becomes worth 10 percent of your income or less. This is the simplest solution if you've spent too much. Drive your car for as long as possible until the market value is worth less than 10 percent of your gross annual income.
2) Bite the bullet and sell your car. If you've spent anything more than 1/5th your gross annual income on a car, I'd sell it. It's making you poor. Even if you have to take a little bit of a hit, I think it's worth getting rid of your vehicle.
Don't trade it into the dealer because you'll get railroaded. Instead, try negotiating via Craigslist.
3) Punish yourself. If you don't punish yourself, then you will repeat your mistake and feel fine with what you have now. For the life of your car loan, take away a food you love to eat, such as chocolate. If you are a coffee addict, swear never to drink that stuff again. Save more of your income after taxes and feel the squeeze so that you realize how ridiculous your car spending is.
Cars built in the 1990's and beyond are so much more reliable than those built prior.
If you are serious about improving your finances, consider buying a car with fewer options and fewer electronics to deal with. The more you have loaded in your car, the more maintenance headaches you will have in the future.
Treat the 1/10th rule of car buying like a game. You will be surprised to find how many different type of cars you can buy with 1/10th your income if you make over $25,000 a year.
If you want a $30,000 car, get motivated by the 1/10th rule to figure out a way to make $300,000 a year. One way is to start a side hustle to generate more income. I never thought when I started Financial Samurai in 2009 that I could leave the corporate world for good in 2012 and make more than I did as an Executive Director at an investment bank, but here I am.
If you can't get motivated, then fine. Just don't think you can afford much more. Think about your future and the future of your family. A car is simply there to take you reliably from point A to point B.
"The thrill of owning a new or new used car lasts for only several months, but the pain of paying the same car payment lasts for years."
If you're thinking about prestige and impressing others, don't be silly. Owning a nice property is way more impressive because at least you can potentially make some money from the asset!
One of the worst financial combos is owning a car that you purchased for much more than 1/10th your gross income and renting. You now have two of your largest expenses sucking money away from you every single month. Think about all the wealthy people you know, or the millionaires next door. Chances are high the majority of them own their homes and drive used cars that don't come close to 50 percent of their gross income.
If you want to achieve financial independence and not have to worry about material things stressing you out, follow my rule. If you want to detonate your finances and end up working longer than you want for the sake of a nicer ride, then go spend more than you can afford.

Brexit diet could lead to 5,600 deaths a year as fresh fruit and veg prices shoot up
October 24, 2018 1.08pm EDT

Britain is highly dependent on imported food. By value, imports make up more than 90% of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK and half of the meat. Brexit is expected to increase trade costs and make food imports more expensive, something that could lead to changes in diets and dietary risk factors that influence health.
In fact, Brexit could lead to up to 5,600 diet-related deaths per year by 2027, additional healthcare expenditure of £600m, and increase the GDP losses of Brexit by up to 50%. That's according to estimates my colleague Florian Freund and I have published in a new Oxford Martin School Working Paper.
Between a hard and a soft Brexit
Analysing the potential implications of Brexit is a tricky business. The concrete details of Brexit remain unclear. Proposals range from various forms of "soft Brexit" that include a new trade agreement with the EU, to a "hard Brexit" in which the UK falls back on the (higher) tariffs set out by the World Trade Organization.
We evaluated these opposing ends of the spectrum and compared them to a no-Brexit ("remain") scenario. We used an agriculture-economic model to simulate the impacts that changes in tariffs and regulatory measures could have on the agricultural sector in the UK. And we used a national disease model to estimate what the resulting dietary changes would mean for mortality from chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease or cancer.

A Brexit diet
Currently so-called "dietary risks", including not eating enough fruits and vegetables or eating too much red and processed meat, are the second biggest risk factor for mortality in the UK, after tobacco. Our analysis suggests that Brexit could further increase those dietary risks.
As a result of increasing trade costs from customs checks, new regulation, and higher tariffs in the case of a hard Brexit, we estimated that prices for most foods would increase. Foods that are critical for good health would be especially affected. Fruit and vegetable consumption could be reduced by up to one portion each per person per week under a hard Brexit, and by half a portion each under a soft Brexit. The consumption of nuts and legumes could decrease by up to 7%.
Other foods would be affected as well. Dairy consumption could go down by up to one portion per week, meat consumption by half a portion, and total calorie intake could decrease as well. Some of those changes have health benefits, such as reduced intake of red meat or, for overweight people, reduced calorie intake. But we estimated that those potential benefits would be outweighed several times by the reductions in health-promoting foods.
Changes in average per-capita food consumption in the UK in the two Brexit scenarios. Springmann & Freund (2018), Author provided (No reuse)
According to our estimates, the Brexit-related changes in food consumption could lead to 5,600 additional deaths per year under a hard Brexit, and to 2,700 additional deaths under a soft Brexit. This represents an increase in overall mortality of 0.9% in the Hard Brexit scenario (about 610,000 people are projected to die in the UK in 2027), and 0.4% in the Soft Brexit scenario. For premature mortality (before age 70), the increases are slightly higher.
Most of the additional deaths would be due to cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke, which are associated with reduced consumption of fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
The Brexit bill for health
The health impacts of Brexit also have economic implications. In our analysis, we quantified the economic costs of the additional diet-related deaths by summing up the extra healthcare expense, and by using valuation techniques commonly used by government when looking at the costs and benefits of projects that could affect mortality, such as new nuclear power plants or roads.
Accounting for the costs to healthcare and related services resulted in increases in healthcare-related expenditure of £600m per year under a hard Brexit, and of £290m under a soft Brexit. And valuing the changes in mortality using cost-benefit analysis – based on the willingness of society to pay to reduce risks to life – led to costs close to £12 billion under a hard Brexit, and £6 billion under a soft Brexit.
Additional deaths in UK after Hard Brexit, by risk factor and cause of deaths. Springmann & Freund (2018), Author provided
The Brexit bill for health adds to the impact that leaving the EU is expected to have on other sectors which will also face higher costs of trade and production. We and others have estimated losses in real GDP (a measure of output corrected for inflation) to range from 0.5% for a soft Brexit to 1.4% for a hard Brexit (in nominal terms, that would be 1.6-3.6%). The health costs of Brexit amount to 0.3% to 0.6% in terms of real GDP, and therefore increase the overall economic losses of Brexit by 40-50%.
Given the UK's import dependence, in particular for fruit and vegetables, any Brexit-related increase in trade costs will make it harder to get hold of foods that are critical components of healthy diets and chronic-disease prevention. Whatever form Brexit might take, our analysis suggests that it will significantly impact the British food system and negatively affect the health and welfare of British citizens.

Book Review: Arabs and Normans in Sicily and the South of Italy
By Veronica Di Grigoli
The early medieval period, in which Sicily was ruled first by the Arabs and then by the Normans, probably represents the island's cultural, economic and intellectual zenith. It was certainly during this time that Sicily underwent the greatest degree of man-made change. For someone who wants to understand modern Sicily and examine all that is good about its present day culture, it makes sense to begin with the Arabo-Norman period.
Arabs and Normans in Sicily and the South of Italy, published by Riverside Book Company Inc, is co-written by Alessandro Vanoli and Adele Cilento. This 309 page book has 271 colour illustrations and is a sumptuous feast for the eyes.
It is packed with photographs of exquisite objects in museum collections around the world. There is the red silk cape of Roger II from 1133 A.D., embroidered with gold lions and camels. There are facsimiles of Arabic star charts and maps of the world. We see the tapestries, coins, drinking vessels and bejewelled weapons that filled the homes of Sicily's Arab and Norman rulers, which together conjure up a vivid impression of the life and culture of the period.
Photographs of the Arabic and Norman buildings almost provide a virtual tour of the region. I have visited most of the places, yet the photos showed me details I had missed: the pure Arabic ceiling of the Palatine Chapel in Palermo, for example.
This is not merely a beautiful coffee-table book, however. The text is written by two authors with impressive credentials. Vanoli, of the University of Bologna, is a doctor of European social history who specialises in the study of Islam and its interactions with Jewish and Christian culture. Cilento is Professor of Byzantine history at Florence University.
With good reason the Sicilians regard their Arab and Norman heritage with great pride. Vanoli and Cilento have done an admirable job of explaining why. The authors do not overload us with dates and facts. They tell us what is more important: the cultural background of the Arabs and the Normans, where they came from, how they changed Sicily, and why they did what they did.
Vanoli relates how the Arabs came to Sicily from the south. Their empire in Africa and their hundred-year struggle to dominate Sicily is described entirely from their point of view, and makes for dramatic reading. We enter their mindset as they establish themselves in Sicily, and then conquer far enough north to sack Rome. During their 200-year domination they turned Sicily into the cornucopia of the Mediterranean and one of the richest trading centres of the medieval world. Vanoli brings their way of life alive, and the illustrations very much enhance his evocative and sometimes lyrical prose.
Then came the Normans. Cilento starts at the very beginning with their origins as Vikings who plundered and conquered swathes of Europe. After a ten-year war fought by guerilla tactics, the Normans possessed Sicily and her vast wealth. The Normans allowed their women considerable freedom, and Cilento tells the stories of several who shaped this period of Sicilian history. She also examines the Norman church-building programme and the evolution of a uniquely Sicilian style of church architecture. Cilento overturns some oft-quoted clichés and provides a different and more insightful account of the Normans in Sicily.
If I were to point out weaknesses, my main gripes would be that the photos are not always fully credited – a few of them do not tell us where the artifacts are to be found; I wish that the authors had quoted, or at least referred to, their sources more often; and the chapter headings are not as helpful in navigating the book as they could be.
On the positive side, the book is fascinating and highly readable. The English translator Brian Eskenazi deserves great credit for rendering the authors' Italian into very natural English prose. The authors assume no prior knowledge of the period, making the book highly accessible to any reader, yet they offer new insights to those more knowledgeable on the subject.
Add to this the broad scope and sheer beauty of the illustrations, and I feel that the strengths vastly outweigh the weaknesses. This book is an absolute gem which I would unreservedly recommend to any reader.

I don't think they are temp sexable Chris, I have mine in a vermiculite/perlite medium. As for water ratio...honestly I just spray the top of the lids and thats it. And I had mine at 85-86 last year, I am going lower this year, right around 80-81.
Wow!!! HUGE!!!!! She surely has to be gravid!!
I wouldn't want to be bitten by anything that size LOL!
It's being thrown around here that lower incubation temps for Amyae produce more females. but I haven't been shown any evidence to actually prove that. Just heresay.
BOOMBA! what a swine, Ken!
Oh yeh,that girl is super sweet.
Holy crap Ken, call weight watchers, Jenny Craig, but dear god man do some thing! lol Awesome man!
Fingers crossed. He probably had his wicked way with her when you weren't looking! I've only ever caught my gex in the act once, and I have a fair few eggs now. They don't like an audience I guess, hehehe!

If a jury returned a "guilty" verdict against you, now is the time to act. There are several different remedies available to you: 1) ask the judge to overturn the jury's decision and enter a not guilty verdict; 2) ask the judge for a new trial; or 3) appeal the decision to an appellate court.
The appellate process can be slow and may seem tedious. However, it is a very necessary and helpful remedy for those who have been wrongfully convicted.
Will I win my appeal?

NCEL: Stansfield left disappointed as Knaresborough Town's streak comes to an end
Knaresborough's Toby Lees waits to make a tackle (Craig Dinsale)
Hal Boxhall-Dockree
Knaresborough Town couldn't continue their winning streak on Tuesday evening as they fell to a home defeat to Hall Road Rangers.
After wins over Westella VIP, Dronfield Town and Winterton Rangers, 'Boro had started the season in a rich vein of form and were full of confidence going into Tuesday night.

Manager Paul Stansfield was less than impressed with his side's showing, however, as Knaresborough were beaten 1-0 at Manse Lane.
Daniel Walker's 57th minute goal was the only score of the game as 'Boro lost for the first time at home this season.
Stansfield said: "We didn't start very well at all and just weren't at the races.
"We just couldn't get going, although that wasn't through lack of effort.
"Our team shape wasn't as good as it was on Saturday and it was disappointing to lose after such a good performance.
"We were not at the races for 60 minutes but hopefully we can put that right on Saturday."
Yorkshire Amateur visit Manse Lane on Saturday afternoon with Knaresborough hoping to keep up the pressure at the top of the table.
"Yorkshire Amateur are a good side with good players and they can certainly score goals.
"I think every game is tough, if we allow it to be, but we've got to go out there and dominate the first 20-30 minutes."
Football aside, Stansfield offered updates on goalkeeper Steve Weatherill and captain Matt Duerden's serious injuries.
"Steve is much better now, he took a knee around the spleen but somehow managed to play the whole game!
RANKED: Here's how much EVERY club to play Premier League football has spent on top tier transfers since 1992
"We got a call the next day about the severity of the injury and he won't be able to play football for around three months.
"Matt will have an X-ray on Friday to assess the extent of the injury and an operation date will be set from there.
"He came to watch the reserves on Saturday and was here on Tuesday night so is in good spirits and hopefully his operation is a success."

How to become more positive.
Happiness tip – be positive.
Want a more positive life, try these happiness tips.
Positive people are a lot happier and more productive than people who see everything in a negative light. Pessimistic people like to say they're just being realistic. It is possible to be very positive and still see life in a realistic manner. Being positive also has the side benefit of making you more fun to be around. Take a look at some of these positivity tips and see if applying them to your life would be beneficial.
1. Be kind to yourself to become more positive.
Cruelty makes the world an awful place. Being cruel to yourself is a very unhelpful practice. Begin your efforts to be more positive by being kind to yourself. As you began to treat yourself better it will become easier and easier to treat others well. Kindness is a close cousin to positivity.
2. Use positive affirmations to multiply your positivity.
The things you say to yourself, about you, have a habit of coming true. Adopt the practice of using positive affirmations. Each day, tell yourself something positive about you. Find positive sayings that will motivate you to do your best. Make sure these positive affirmations are things you really believe are possible. Positive affirmations can do a lot to motivate you.
3. Giving yourself credit for things well done builds a more positive outlook.
Make sure that you recognize the things that you do well. Believing in yourself and accepting credit where credit is due are parts of becoming more positive. Are you one of those people who find it hard to accept a compliment? There's nothing wrong with accepting praise and compliments when they are deserved. Becoming willing to recognize when you've done something well is one of the steps along the path to a more positive life.
4. Develop a positive support system.
The more you hang out with people, the more you begin to adopt their habits and attitudes. To be one of the positive people make sure that you hang out with other positive people. Work on enlarging your support system. Surround yourself with people who will support you in being more positive.
There may be many things in your life over which you have no control. Two things you do have control of are your attitude and your actions. No one but you can truly make you happy. While they may set situations in motion, situations better to your liking, you will choose whether to be happy or to be disappointed with what they have done for you. The happy positive life is a matter of personal responsibility.
6. Please yourself first for a more positive life.
No matter how hard you try there are some people you will never be able to please. Work on doing the things that will please you. If you don't please yourself no amount of doing and pleasing others will make you happy. Being positive enlarges your happiness.
7. Get clear on your yes's and no's.
Do the thing you want to do. Say no to the things you don't wish to do. Get clear on which is which. Positive people stay positive by eliminating that negative and those no's from their life. Spend your time on the things you really want to accomplish for a more positive life.
8. Focus on the lesson you learned not what you did wrong.
Don't make the mistake of focusing all your attention on your errors. Part of the process of learning is making mistakes. It is OK to be less than perfect. What you do need to do is make sure that you learn from the mistakes as you make them. Positive people believe that mistakes are them learning another way that won't work.
9. Plan, not ruminate, to be more productive.
Don't spend a lot of time going and over and over things that happened in the past. Avoid a lot of time worrying about things that might happen in the future. Keep your focus on the present moment and on planning for what you are going to do.

Engineered Pea Seeds Protect Against Parasites
News Sep 11, 2009
- Graeme Baldwin, BioMed Central. Sept 10, 2009
Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC B iotechnology describe the development of the GM seeds, and demonstrate their effectiveness in preventing this economically important illness.
Sergej Kiprijanov worked with a team of researchers from Novoplant GmbH, Germany, to develop the seeds. He said, "There are a few major issues precluding the use of monoclonal antibodies for passive immunization of chickens against infectious diseases, primarily the costs of antibody production and treatment. Treatment costs are high because antibodies must normally be given intravenously; otherwise they are destroyed in the animal's gut. By expressing the antibodies inside pea seeds, they are protected from this degradation – allowing our system to dramatically reduce treatment costs".
The researchers found that chickens infected with the parasite and allowed to eat the antibody-containing pea seeds, shredded into their feed, were significantly less likely to contract coccidiosis than chickens fed ordinary pea seeds in their fodder. Kiprijanov said, "Compared with methods of active vaccination, the passive immunization strategy described here is an easy and non-invasive method to use in commercial settings. The cost of production is comparatively low, utilizing current agriculture technologies, and the strategy can be used in combination with other antiparasitic agents".

Gene Discovery Aids the Development of Plants to Fight Climate Change
Hidden underground networks of plant roots snake through the earth foraging for nutrients and water, similar to a worm searching for food. Yet, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that govern which parts of the soil roots explore remain largely unknown. Now, researchers have discovered a gene that determines whether roots grow deep or shallow in the soil.

Leaked: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra posing for photos
Andre Follow on Twitter Send an email November 5, 2021Last Updated: November 5, 2021
Facebook Twitter Reddit
Some recent photos leaked showing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have been leaked. The pictures show a powerfully powered device on Galaxy Note models, plus it even got the S Pen.
The debut of Samsung Galaxy S22 mobiles is getting closer and closer, so obviously, various leaks and rumors about the devices are coming more and more frequently. Thanks to Front Page Tech, now-looking real-world images have been released showing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (or a mobile prototype). The design of the device is very similar to the previous renders that were recently unveiled.
The similarity between the smartphone in the pictures and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra can be seen. The curved display, the design itself, and of course, the S Pen makes it clear that the manufacturer with this model wants to compensate those who mourn the Galaxy Note series.
For now, we can't know for sure that the final design will be like this, but you can expect something similar.
Aside from the resemblance to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, it can't be said that there will be revolutionary innovations in the look of the device. However, the design of the rear-facing cameras will change.
On the other hand, the camera kit can be precisely the same as the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which consists of a 108-megapixel primary, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto, and a 10-megapixel periscope module.
The front-facing camera still sits in a cutout, centered below the top frame, and the headphone output won't return, presumably to the chagrin of many.
How do you like Galaxy S22 Ultra based on the pictures?

New Package Centers are Making Life Easier for Multifamily Residents
As more multifamily properties make improvements to common areas, one space in particular is receiving quite the makeover: the package room.
Traditional package management is causing headaches for property managers. Boxes from Amazon, groceries, and other deliveries inundate front offices (UPS delivered 800 million packages during the 2018 holiday season, up 50 million from 2017. That's not including deliveries from the USPS and other shippers.). Staff spend hours logging deliveries, and the additional time and manpower is expensive. Residents are feeling the burden by not being able to claim their packages outside of regular office hours. Additionally, there are the legal liabilities associated with lost or damaged items.
Multifamily property managers are adapting by redesigning package rooms and management systems to accommodate tenants in the following ways:
Dedicated Package Delivery Centers
The traditional mailroom is a dying breed, as apartment and condo buildings have been installing dedicated package delivery centers for the last ten years. "Such facilities have grown in number and sophistication as the flood of packages has risen, and as residents' reliance on them has gone up exponentially," according to Building Design + Construction.
Package management system disruptors are playing a major role. Multifamily Executive calls 2018 the "tipping point" of package-management automation. Property managers are taking advantage of the technology to reduce costs and create a more self-sufficient environment. Companies like Package Concierge and Parcel Pending allow deliveries of packages in secure lockers that are accessed using touch-screens. Residents receive text messages with PIN numbers to alert them of package-arrival, and they can retrieve them whenever they'd like. The technology is so popular that the lockers are now being used in retail and grocery locations, corporate campuses, and universities.
Access and Space
Package centers should be highly visible, easily accessible, and available 24/7 so that tenants can retrieve their deliveries on their own time.
"New Package Concierge data shows that 83% of users would prefer 24/7 access to the locker in order to increase utilization of the solution," according to Multifamily Executive. "Installing automated lockers in common areas or near the mailroom allows residents and carriers alike easy access."
Renovations to create more physical space for package centers is critical to accommodate self-serving systems. Packages come in all shapes and sizes; therefore, providing enough options for lockers to handle volume is key.
"Don't limit your potential for using these systems now or in the future – especially since package volume will only continue to rise," adds Multifamily Executive. "On average, today's apartment buildings receive up to 50 packages a day, which increases during the holidays, so including plenty of available space to manage this volume is important."
Creating Community Experience
If tenants are happy, so are property managers and investors. Successful multifamily properties focus on enhancing the resident experience, and designing the right package area helps foster community. Per Building Design + Construction, "Many rental and condominium communities integrate package centers into high-traffic areas. Not only does this make it easier for couriers to find the center and deliver packages, it also makes receiving a package a neighborly event. If planned and designed appropriately, package centers can strengthen community ties among residents. The inclusion of communal tables and recycling bins gives residents the option to open their packages immediately while socializing with their neighbors."
Renovating package centers and investing in new technology is essential for meeting the demands of today's delivery volume and tenant needs. The best package-management systems provide secure, 24-hour access, keep package areas neat and clean, and free up time and energy of building staff.

How Multifamily Investors are Urbanizing the Suburbs
Baby boomers and millennials have their sights set on dynamic, live, work, and play opportunities in the suburbs. In other words, the urbanization of the suburbs is here, and multifamily investors are responding in kind. In a sense, the suburban market is being turned on its head as investors create a practical transfer of urban-style features–including walkability, access to retail and restaurant amenities, and dense housing–beyond the city limits.
These factors outline how multifamily investors are urbanizing the suburbs.
Determine Your Target Tenants If Baby Boomers and Millennials are the largest cohort making the transition to the suburbs, it's important to focus on demographic subgroups. "Maturing" Millennials, for example, are leaving urban communities to give the suburbs a dry run before raising a family. They expect class A market features but at lower rents. Then there are "gray-collar" renters whose household income and education levels and population-growth exceed national standards.
Investors understand that you can't fit a square peg in a round hole by trying to replicate city-living in the suburbs. "As these sub-hubs multiply across the country, what's clear is that no single prototype will work since suburbs vary from tiny communities with a single stoplight to large ones considered small cities," According to Multifamily Executive. "Yet, the locations most likely to thrive share the common denominator of being hybrids that borrow some parts from their lively urban counterparts and retain their bucolic and other suburban advantages."
Proximity to Jobs and Transportation
Employment opportunities close to residents can be a strong incentive for investors when selecting one suburban site versus another. There needs to be some form of mass transit or highway network to get residents to them. Chevy Chase Lake, for example, is a mixed-use, transit-oriented community in the Maryland suburb of Chevy Chase close to Washington, D.C. with access to the Metro's Purple Line. Just to the north in Rockville an 1,100-unit multifamily neighborhood is being developed in a 90-acre industrial park along another Metro line.
However, development is proving to be more challenging in Tysons, Virginia, an "edge city" of DC. "The grid of streets planned for Tysons exposes the challenges of transforming suburbia," according to Public Square: A CNU Journal. "The grid is mostly internal, with few connections to surrounding subdivisions. Three highways interrupt the network. The plan now underway is a huge improvement, yet ongoing retrofit is needed, perhaps decades from now, that connects the downtown to surrounding cul-de-sacs and loop roads."
"Placemaking, if applied thoughtfully and well executed, provides the soul for our communities through the design of a contextual urban framework of pedestrian friendly neighborhoods, open spaces and a vibrant urban environment created by the layered realm of architecture, landscaping, signage and lighting."
Gain Buy-In From the Community
Compared to large cities, elements of multifamily renovation can be more difficult in suburban areas, including zoning and acquiring variances. Building trust with the community is an important step in choosing a community location.
Multifamily Executive emphasizes this point, using the example of a multifamily property in Richmond, Virginia: "Richmond, Va., which experienced a boom in Millennials moving downtown after 2010, is now seeing a swing back to the suburbs. Good infrastructure was already in place in Richmond's suburban counties like Henrico County. But to attract mixed-use, multifamily living, the suburban counties recognized that traditional policies and approaches to land planning needed to adjust. Rather than create big urban-like downtown cores in various suburbs, the goal was to fashion compact, pedestrian-focused projects along existing corridors to stimulate development and rejuvenation that takes advantage of existing infrastructure."
Locate Near Office and Retail
Retail, office, and residents need each other. The success of a neighborhood relies on the well-planned intersection of commercial and multifamily renovation. Similar to the proximity of communities to transit, everything should be close by. Tenants want to live five minutes from
from coffee bars, grocery stores, and entertainment. Finding the right balance is key, according to Multifamily Executive: "The answer for both suburbs—as well as cities, even large ones—may lie in seeking retailers that have learned the importance of experiential features that consumers seem to find more relevant rather than stacks of merchandise. Entrepreneurial leaders like Apple are rolling out ideas such as workshops and classes."
Amenities, Amenities, Amenities
Amenities are significant considerations for multifamily living. We've written previously about the importance of amenity upgrades to attracting new tenants. To avoid the risk of trying too hard and unrealistically to mimic vibrant cities, investors are taking advantage of neighborhood natural amenities in their backyards, like parks, lakes, and trails. We recently renovated multiple units and hallways, as well as the package room and pool-area restrooms of a multifamily, student-centered apartment building in Evanston, an edge city of Chicago. Students also have access to the Clark Street beach and trails along Lake Michigan.
There is a shift afoot in which investors are attracting renters from the big cities. We'll give the last word to Jose Sanchez, retail and mixed-use design leader at DLR Group, who told GlobeSt.com, "Demographic shifts illustrated that we are becoming a society that values main streets more than backyards. Walkability, density, sense of community, mixed uses and a diverse population are bringing new life to the suburbs. Placemaking, if applied thoughtfully and well executed, provides the soul for our communities through the design of a contextual urban framework of pedestrian friendly neighborhoods, open spaces and a vibrant urban environment created by the layered realm of architecture, landscaping, signage and lighting. It is also vital to understand that these new town centers should be developed in a way to attract multiple demographics and economic classes through inclusive design and programming."

Felix Rosenqvist says he couldn't pass up the opportunity to compete for Chip Ganassi Racing in IndyCar, even though that required an exit from the "booming" ABB FIA Formula E series.
The Swede, who won three Formula E races in two seasons with Mahindra, will make an unexpected final start in the electric championship this weekend before heading off to American competition for 2019.
Mahindra had signed an all new line-up of Pascal Wehrlein and Jerome D'Ambrosio for the 2018/19 season, but with Wehrlein needing to see out his Mercedes factory contract Rosenqvist has been called up on a one-off basis for the Ad Diriyah E-Prix opener.
Leaving the door open to a full-time return to Formula E in the future, the 27-year-old Swede said it was "the right timing" for his departure.
When asked if the Saudi Arabia round would mark the last time he appears in FE, Rosenqvist told Motorsport.com: "Short-term, probably yes.
"Long-term – I have ambitions [regarding] coming back here at some point. This championship has done a lot for me and I always enjoyed being here.
"Obviously now I have a new challenge and something I'm really excited to do – it's like a dream come true.
"That's the main target now, but you never know – I could be back at some point.
"I'm sort of coming to the age where if I'd stayed in Formula E maybe it was going to be the place I would stay for a long time.
"[That] would be fine but I felt that as I had the opportunity in probably one of the best teams in America, in IndyCar, it's maybe an opportunity I'd only have once.
FE's rapid growth and manufacturer influx has attracted a grid packed with highly-rated drivers in recent seasons.
Regarding any competition he may face for a future FE return, Rosenqvist said that "you have to focus at the thing you're doing, then it's going to be all good".
"I'm not thinking 'oh in eight years I'm going to be back here'," he said. "It's just I think if I do a good job over there, I'm going to keep being able to do things.
"Many have said 'Formula E is growing, it's the right place to be', which I think is right. It's true, it's really the booming championship right now.
"But from a sporting point of view I wanted to do IndyCar so bad.

Statement by Tosha Grantham
The artist never entirely knows. We guess.
We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap
in the dark. —Agnes de Mille
Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts.
The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. —Cecil B. DeMille
I have borrowed these quotations from another discipline but find that they apply broadly to all art making. Art, as a remarkable gesture of the human hand—or of the body in combination with space, time, and materials—when seen or experienced objectively, can create an effective exchange between artist and audience. The myriad forms of visual art allow for a tangible record of these moments, to be held, evaluated, and reviewed by present and future generations. Whether abstract, conceptual, or formal, the visual arts provide messages that tend to be clearer in hindsight. As a result, it is crucial that qualified artists who work broadly, challenge boundaries, push buttons and materials, create discomfort, talk about the untalked-about, and delight in underserved or invisible communities are brought to the center and not overlooked.
In an era when artistic concerns are increasingly marginalized, it is ever more necessary that the artist be very present in society. It is also critical to engage and support artists at all stages of their careers so that their voices become (or remain) vehicles for projects that would otherwise be silenced.
Each of the visual artists selected this year to receive a USA Fellowship addresses the conditions mentioned above. Whether beautiful, elusive, substantial, haunting, painful, or stark, the messages that these artists collectively convey suggest that the arts are an excellent barometer of where society is at a given moment; they plot a course to address the politics of the border, moving what may appear to be a subversive vision from the margins to front and center. In some cases the work attempts to mediate and piece together histories that have been selectively removed, damaged, or erased. In others the effort involves using silence as a medium; making us mindful and deliberate in a society in which the pace of life runs counter to such an intention; and questioning the role of the individual and humanity while conversely acknowledging the increasingly blurred lines imposed by an overload of analog, digital, Web, and interactive information.
In addition to commitment, technical excellence, and access, artists need adequate resources, space, and conditions to make their work. United States Artists provides critical funding that fulfills this need for a highly qualified and dynamic group of artists. The conservative funding climate of recent years has limited public sources of funding for the arts. To fill this gap, private philanthropic organizations have become increasingly valued patrons of the arts, as well as vehicles for sustained dialogue and critical discourse. As a relatively new grant-making organization with ambitious long-term goals, United States Artists deserves wider attention so that more artists know about this opportunity. This will help ensure acknowledgment for brilliant and diverse artistic statements that are being made not only in our major art centers but throughout the country as well.


"I am not just making a dress, I am writing a story. While the dress is important, it's just one part of the story. I write through my clothes with a theme that connects everything that I do. The story starts with a girl. Who is she? What is she doing? In my mind, I create a world around the girl."
"To design without fashion in mind, to design something legendary that has a sense of timelessness, a foreverness that still excites us, is what I aspire to do."
"Fashion is about change. It's about aspiration. It's about what's going on in the world. It's a blend of many things that are happening, coming from many different directions- uptown and downtown."
"Over the years I have created collections inspired by heroines- from the artistic bohemian to the cowgirl to the glamorous aviator. They are all moods of the same woman enjoying her life and all the roles she can play from year to year, from season to season, from day to night."
"What I do is about living. It's about living the best life you can and enjoying the fullness of the life around you- from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love."
Thanks for your inspiration Ralph!

I have just returned from our church's answer to Halloween. A couple of hundred kids with their parents come for two hours to meet Bible characters (most wearing the same costumes used at Christmas), play games and eat hot dogs and candy.
Many were in the spook parade and came later and others either did their trick-or-treating, then came, or the other way around. All in all, sugar was the main theme.
Why do it? Give kids a safer environment. Encourage parents to come with them and spend time with their kids doing kid things. Give a tiny exposure to the Bible. Perhaps that's enough.
I'm not one to consider Halloween an un-Christian event. It's roots are in the celebration of All Saints Day November 1 with All Hallows Eve the day before. Sure, there's a lot of death and gore, but all in fun. We need as humans to explore possibilities, including ones we find unpleasant, like death.
I do wonder at the tremendous growth of Halloween as a party night for adults. I should think moving on to more adult living is in order, but I'm not much for parties.
I wish we spend as much time the next day considering the lessons given to us by all the saints. Yes, Peter and Paul, but also Mr. Mannors who greeted us at the door of the church the first day we attended. The men who attended every business meeting and asked hard questions. Even though they opposed many of the expenditures, they were always faithful to give anyway.
In the morning, think about your everyday saints. Thank God for giving them to you.


Remember the classic Skoda Fabia advert from 2007, where they made a life-size version of the car out of cake? It took ten days and weighed a tonne and a half.
Well, Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown has teamed up with Skoda to recreate a scaled-down version of the Fabia cake.
Although the original was nearly four metres long and one-and-a-half metres high, the small-scale version can be attempted by you at home.
If you're inspired, the recipe is here, and you can even win a baking lesson with Candice. You just need to take a picture of your creation, and pop it on social media with the #FABIAcake hashtag. You've got until Monday 5 November to enter, so pop on Julie Andrews' My Favourite Things, and get baking.
And if the Auto Trader team can do it, you definitely can. We did have the added bonus of Candice taking us through each step, but the pressure was on, and we got a little taste of what it must be like to be in the Great British Bake Off tent.
Between being covered in icing sugar clouds, and getting stressed about whether our buttercream was fluffy enough, we managed to chat to Candice for five minutes about cars and cakes.
My first car was a Nissan Micra Wave.
What's the best and worst car you've ever owned?
Ooh I don't know. I prefer things that are quite useful. I've had a Nissan Micra, I've just had a Skoda Citigo, I had a new Micra… that might have been the worst one as the back windscreen did implode on me, so that wasn't the best… but I've now got a Nissan Navara truck which I quite like.
It would be either an old Jaguar or an old Aston Martin from the James Bond era.
Do you listen to music while driving? If yes, what would be your ultimate driving song?
I listen more to audiobooks rather than music, but if I do listen to music I listen to things like Foo Fighters and Rolling Stones. They're great to listen to while driving. But it is mostly audiobooks.
How do you get your lipstick to stay so perfect at all times?
I use a lot of matte lipstick so it doesn't smudge, but it's mostly preparation. I use a bit of foundation to prep around the outside, and then it's just a case of keeping it on me at all times.
(All of Candice's fellow Bake Off contestants baked her a cake for her recent wedding!) Did you manage to try a piece of all 11 wedding cakes you had?
Yes! I managed to have a bit of every single cake. All the way around. We were still eating it the next day, so anything I hadn't managed to try, I managed to have then.
Are you watching the new series of Bake Off, and do you have a favourite contestant?
I am watching the new series. I really like Kim Joy's individuality. She's getting on with it, going with the flow, being herself, and I really applaud that. That's a really big and important thing, to be individual, and don't forget yourself.
Other than wedding planning, and your actual wedding, what else have you been up to recently?
I'm still writing for the Sunday Times, I was at the Cake and Bake show, I've been working with [celebrity chef] Tom Kerridge on [food festival] Pub in the Park, Carfest, I'm off to Sweden, Australia in November… and I'm also working on my second book. So I'm keeping very busy!
Interested in buying a Skoda Fabia?


This is a disreputable company. They intend to deceive and misrepresent. Almost all of our things were damaged, and many things broken. We were lied to and had to badger them to get responses.
Very bad services. I hope nobody use their services and had to go through what we have to go through.
