Myth No.1 "Tesco would leave it tidy and not leave rubbish lying around"
Posted on June 30, 2011 by arlingtonhsmarg
Sadly, not true. At Tesco Westwood Cross, where the 'landscaping' is strewn with Tesco packaging, fag ends and plastic bags.
Guidance on asking for a Public Inquiry
What a day it has been! You'd think living at the seaside we would have better things to do than sit on the phone talking to Public Officials and Planning Consultants on the grounds that a Secretary of State can ask for a planning application be called in.
This morning we spoke with an officer at the National Planning Casework Unit. They have been set up to take on planning casework activities previously handled by Regional Government Offices. So this is all new. And necessarily an improvement. The message seemed to come across that even though the new Localism Bill is not yet in place, the general mood and direction from Central Government is that it is now much more unlikely that Central Government would go against a decision of a local decision maker like an elected Local Authority.
So there we have it. this huge decision for Margate rested on the shoulders of the new Chair of Planning Cllr Jack Cohen. Who with a single casting vote sent this application up to Central Government to be effectively rubber stamped.
So is this the beginning of the end? Perhaps not.
Further discussions into the afternoon with various consultants and the general gist is that if a decision is to be called in by the Sec. of State (or those acting for him) then it will have to be for issues that are of national concern. In this case, these could be:
– That the site is in the immediate vicinity of Grade II and Grade II* listed buildings that are on the national register.
– Significant concerns regarding the design – related to the above point.
– Traffic and transport was mentioned, but I need to firm up the wording.
The Public Official mentioned the significance of the 1999 so called 'Carbon Statement' as a guide that will be used in making a decision. My inital googling seems to pull up that this is linked to the proof of need for edge of town or out of town developments. But that the statement has been superseded by subsequent Secs of State. So this left ,e slightly confused. But the impression I got from speaking to the guy
Isn't this a shame for Margate that a decision as important as this may get through because of a technicality and swing in Central Govt policy of not taking decisions that
differ from the local policy makers.
What do we do if 50% of the Planning Committee vote according to the party whip and not according to what they believed in? Shame on the Tory Councillors who spoke out against this application and then voted for it. Perhaps we should take forward the notion of localism and move to elect an independent Margate Town Council.
It seems ludicrous to be in the position that the UK's first proposed seafront megastore will go through on a single vote and our chance to have our say or to question this process is made even harder by something that purports to devolve the power from Central Government to local communities. But what about local communities who have to deal with less than satisfactory local authorities? In this case, Margate will be ruined by the time the next elections come around.
So here again are the contact details where you can send your issues on this application:
If you would like to a better future for Margate we need to make sure
there is a public enquiry of this application. You can do this by
emailing The National Planning Casework Unit at npcu@gowm.gsi.gov.uk
and copy also to Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities
and Local Government at eric.pickles@communities.gsi.gov.uk
Quoting application ref F/TH/10/1061 and giving your name and address.
Things you might not have realized about the proposed Arlington development (Tesco Superstore).
Who owns the Arlington Site?
The freehold of the land is held by Thanet District Council. The company Freshwater have a long lease of 199 years granted in 1961. Thanet District Council as has the right under the terms of the lease to regularly inspect the site and ensure that Freshwater is maintaining and repairing the buildings. This has not been done.
Have Tesco promised to renovate Arlington House?
The planning application is from Freshwater, not Tesco. It is filed by Metropolitan Realizations Ltd. A company that is part of the Freshwater group of companies.
Many people are under the impression that Tesco will pay for the refurbishment and redevelopment of Arlington House. Actually, Tesco has promised nothing.
Actually, Tesco has promised nothing and has no obligation to pay fir anything since Freshwater owns the long term lease. Freshwater will probably be earning at least £1m a year in rental income from Tesco.
Who are Freshwater?
Freshwater is a family business. The Freshwater family was listed as one of the top 400 richest in the recent Sunday Times list of the 2000 richest people in the UK. They are one of the UK's largest independent property investment companies. They own large amounts of property worldwide, and in the UK, including Freshwater House, in a prime location on Shaftsbury Avenue.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-924128-who-really-owns-london.do
Since Freshwater took over Arlington House in 1970/71, they have not only failed to maintain the building, but have actively evicted businesses and made changes to make the shops unviable. They are incredibly rich, and yet they have brought our town into disrepute by the continued neglect of the Arlington Square site, which is on a prime corner of the seafront.
So can we rely on Freshwater to improve things for residents or our town?
Probably not!
The interior of Arlington House hasn't been painted in over 20 years and we all know how long the existing stores have been boarded up with Freshwater doing nothing about their mess. Following a fire in 2001, Freshwater were legally required to make fire prevention repairs and install alarms, but these mandatory Section 72 repairs were not completed. In 2008/9 TDC finally had to take over completion of the works and use TDC contractors to finish the job and the cost was charged to residents and Thanet taxpayers.
Won't it be good to have a supermarket at Arlington?
It could be good to have a small supermarket where local people could shop. Many people are under the false impression that what is proposed is small Tesco Metro sized store. But in fact it is a megastore as big as 2 football pitches when parking is included. This is the first proposed seafront superstore that has been approved in the UK. This will bring thousands of extra cars, vans and lorries on the seafront every day and will bring a loss in trade to local shops. The council's own report predicts almost 17,000 extra vehicle movements on a Friday and Saturday. The traffic report the applicant conducted was carried out in October out of season, before The Turner Contemporary opened. Turner was not accounted for, neither was a future Dreamland or a regenerated Margate.
Will the seafront look better?
No. Tesco is not offering to redevelop the seafront part of the site. Only outline planning has been submitted for a potential hotel at the front. With no commitment from an investor the shops at the front will be demolished to avoid business rates. Margate seafront will have a derelict boarded up site for decades. It is very unusual that the Council would agree to outline planning for such a prominent seafront location, especially since there are practically no strings attached.
Is this any better than we have now? It could look even worse!
The application is merely for outline permission in respect of the shops and hotel
Freshwater have already indicated that there is currently no interest in the proposed units and that development is unlikely to commence until 2014 at the earliest. That being the case, we will be looking at boarded up shops for the next three years. The developer will not be proposing substantial landscaping on a short term basis.
So will Margate get a contribution?
When big projects are granted, developers are usually asked to put something back into the area in return. This is called a Section 106 agreement.
Usually, for a store this size, Tesco would be asked to contribute millions.
In this case, all that is being offered is "improvements" to the roundabout at Station Green, two pedestrian walkways and extra traffic lights – which means S106 taxpayers money will pay for the changes they need to make in order to get lorries into All Saints Avenue. Not exactly a generous gift to the community! And it has been suggested that S106 funds be used to pay Freshwater's expenses in painting the outside of Arlington tower.
Arlington House looks a mess. Won't it be improved if Tesco pay for it?
Tesco has not offered to pay for any improvements to Arlington house. Tesco is only a tenant and has no obligation to pay for anything on the site since Freshwater is the landlord. Several "improvements" promised by Freshwater will be paid for by Arlington House residents. And even then, they might not be able to deliver. Freshwater cannot make residents change their windows. It will be a patchwork of new black plastic windows with dark glass and the old windows. The building will actually look worse than it does now.
Will Tesco bring prosperity and jobs to Margate?
Freshwater have said that the Superstore will bring 300 jobs over a 3-5 year period. And what about the smaller local shops that go out of business in that period? Sheppey found that there was a net jobs loss over a 5 year period when Tesco opened there. The planning application states that this Tesco Megastore will take 20% of its trade from Westwood Cross 10% from the centre of Margate). Our local shops are already struggling, with Margate at the top of the chart with 37.4% shops lying vacant. Shall we say it again? Superstores cause more loss of jobs and wealth in an area than they create. See this report for details of community impacts:
http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/briefings/good_neighbours_community.pdf
Does a superstore bring money to the area?
No, it will take money out of the area. Profits from Superstores go to shareholders worldwide. Local shops spend their profits back into the local economy. See report from FoE above.
If Freshwater doesn't get permission will the site remain an eyesore?
Not necessarily. There are alternatives.
For example, TDC could serve Freshwater with a repairs notice, obliging them to un-board and renovate the retail units, carry out repairs etc.
If Freshwater had to spend money on the site, they would think of a profitable scheme.
A smaller supermarket could bring shoppers to the arcade. The carpark could be used for people going to the beach, the Turner Contemporary and to Dreamland. If the gates were removed between arcade and parking, there would be lots of footfall.
And how about this for inspiration for an alternative use for Arlington?
The Sands Development in Scarborough, built without public money during the recession, is an award winning seafront development offering high quality tourist accommodation and long term lets. It has brought valuable investment to Scarborough, which has a history very similar to Margate. Locals didn't think it would work, but now the flats sell at £200k-£250k and have brought valuable investment and money to the town. Here's info on the development.
And also this alternative vision from Sam Causer Architect:
http://margatecaag.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/a-plan-for-arlington/
If you would like to a better future for Margate we need to make sure there is a public enquiry of this application. You can do this by emailing The National Planning Casework Unit at npcu@gowm.gsi.gov.uk and copy also to Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government at eric.pickles@communities.gsi.gov.uk
Suggested reasons could be:
– The site is in a prominent seafront location, immediately next to Grade II and Grade II* listed buildings on the national register.
– The effect the development will have on traffic in town. Transport is a material planning consideration.
– The impact the development will have on local businesses.
– The scale of the proposed store is disproportionate for this prominent seafront location.
– This is the first seafront superstore to be proposed in the UK.
Who to contact to ask for this stupid application to be called in?
We've just had clarification of where to contact to ask for this application to be called in. It is not going initially to Eric Pickles desk! It is going to The National Planning Casework Unit in Birmingham.
So send your request for application F/TH/10/1061 to be called in to npcu@gowm.gsi.gov.uk
We'll be posting bullet pointed suggestions on criteria to request it be called in this afternoon.
Margate businesses should ask for a reduction in business rates
It has been assessed and accepted by Thanet District Council in their report (pdf) that the proposed Superstore of 7677 sq. mtrs will take 30% of trade from existing businesses. 10% of this will come from the existing traders in Margate.
A 10% decrease on the rateable value of commercial property in Margate and Westgate should be requested by businesses if the planning application is approved. Traffic problems will also contribute to a further loss of business as motorists will simply not be able to get into town on Fridays and Saturdays due to their predicted 17,000 extra vehicle movements. And this is from a traffic survey conducted out of season last October, before the opening of Turner Contemporary and without taking into account any traffic that may be generated by Dreamland.
This should therefore also be taken into account when calculating the rateable value of businesses affected by the opening of the Superstore.
Is there a precedent for businesses successfully claiming a reduction in their rates?
Yes. In Holmbush, Sussex over 100 appeals were filed and the district valuer gave a blanket reduction of 20% to all those who appealed.
Here in Margate, the applicant, Freshwater, is promising 3 hours free parking for customers of the Superstore. This is said to enable shoppers sufficient time to visit shops in Margate Old Town and the High Street after they have finished with their shopping in the Arlington Superstore. Even if the applicant maintained this promise, it is hard to imagine shoppers leaving their weeks shopping with refrigerated or frozen goods in the car while they go to get some fruit from the local greengrocer or have a coffee elsewhere in the town.
TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
The doccuments submitted on behalf of the applicant by Colin Buchanan (Traffic Consultants), a comment attributed to Kent County Council states,"If the developer is unable to provide any other suitable mitigation proposals in addition to the proposed box junction markings at Cecil Square and, assuming satisfactory resolution of the other issues listed below, we are minded to recommend refusal of the application on the grounds of the unacceptable, increased congestion and delays likely to be created by the proposals in relation to the Clock Tower and Cecil Square".
If the officer's report is correct, it will result in a trebling of the length of the current queues (not merely a doubling as previously mentioned). The Officer's report states that traffic queues will be extended by (sic) 27 vehicles and 59 vehicles on Marine Drive and Marine Gardens respectively.
Clarification of this particular point needs to be sought. In any event, Marine Gardens (the length of roadway between Cecil Square and the Clocktower roundabout) is not sufficiently long to contain a queue of even 59 vehicles – because this will include buses. It also calls into question why the bus companies have not been consulted on this application.

Why have we set up the Arlington House blog?
On Wednesday the 14th of June 2011, Thanet District Council's Planning Committee referred the application to build a Supermarket Superstore of 7500m2 at Arlington House and Arlington Square to the Secretary of State with a recommendation for approval. The Committee were deadlocked with a vote of 7 for approval and 7 for refusal. The Chairman, Independent Councillor Jack Cohen cast the deciding vote to approve the application. The decision depended on 1 vote. The decision now rests with Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Government.
This blog has been set up to publish information on the history or Arlington House and Arlington Square. It is a prominent seafront building in Margate. Our aim is to build an archive of past, present and future of Arlington and its role at the centre of Margate. No matter what technicality the authorities claim that this is a site on the outskirts. Anyone coming in to Margate knows that this is at the heart of the town.
If you have stories, history or anecdotes about Arlington to contribute, please get in touch at arlingtonhousemargate@gmail.com
We ask that the proposals currently on the table be taken to a Public Enquiry. It seems only fair after the decision was made on a single casting vote of the newly appointed Chairman. We're suggesting people make their views known by contacting Mr Eric Pickles MP and asking for this: eric.pickles@communities.gsi.gov.uk
http://www.ericpickles.com/
If you fancy some initial further reading, you could do worse than download and peruse the ARLINGTON PLANNING BRIEF, which was adopted by Full Council in 2008 and is the basis on how schemes for the Arlington site should be based on. You can then judge for yourself if you think this latest proposal of building of a huge 24 hour superstore fits with this http://www.ukplanning.com/ enter the reference F/TH/10/1061 .

Figures released early this week by Group M show online has risen from a tenth of the ad market in 2005 to a projected 43.6 percent in 2013, with growth of 14 percent this year. Group M says that total UK advertising will rise 3.4 percent this year to £13.2 billion– more than in other major European countries, but lagging behind GDP growth (the difference between the two is crucial). The Olympic effect is real, but will boost sponsorships and brand partnerships rather than advertising spend. Here are the stats you need to know, plus why they matter.
What this means: An oft-heard expression in newsrooms and among senior publishers is that £1 in print translates to a penny, or less, online. With the drop in CPM rates from the heady heights of the mid-2000s, that's no doubt true for many. But here's the thing: there are marketers who will increasingly only market online. By not embracing online ads – whether it's search, mobile, display, video – you will be shutting out almost half the advertising spend in the UK.
Online has grown from 10.8 percent of total UK adspend in 2005 to a projected 43.6 percent in 2013. With a growth rate of more than 10 percent in 2013 it might only be a year before online is half of the UK's ad economy.
Advertising spending in measured media in the U.K. is expected to show a 3.4 percent increase this year, a modest hike in light of the upcoming Olympics here yet robust compared to growth levels in other European countries. The report, "This Year, Next Year: U.K. Media and Marketing Forecasts" said measured ad spending in the UK is expected to reach a total of £13.2 billion ($20.6 billion USD) in 2012, up from £12.7 billion ($19.9 billion) in 2011. The report pointed out that in ad spending in digital communication platforms continued to show the most significant growth while spending in newspapers, both regional and national, showed the sharpest declines.
According to the report, digital spending will exceed £5.3 billion ($8.3 billion) in 2012 and is expected to reach £6 billion ($9.4 billion) in 2013, indicating an 11 percent increase. Meanwhile, spending on regional newspapers will total £1 billion ($1.6 billion) in 2012 and is expected to drop to £971 million ($1.5 billion) next year—a decline of 11 percent. Spending on national newspapers should fall from £1.2 billion ($1.9 billion) in 2012 to £1.1 billion ($1.7 billion) in 2013—a drop of 5 percent.

Als Knebelvertrag bezeichnet man umgangssprachlich ein Vertragswerk, das darauf abzielt, eine Vertragspartei möglichst langfristig in einem unausgewogenen Vertragsverhältnis festzuhalten. Meist wird das erreicht durch die Gestaltung von Kündigungsfristen oder -bedingungen, Ausnutzung von scheinbaren Vorteilen für die "geknebelte" Partei oder Monopolstellungen.

In Anlehnung dazu werden manchmal einzelne Paragraphen eines Vertrages als "Knebelparagraphen" bezeichnet, wenn sie für eine der Vertragsparteien unverhältnismäßig günstige Konditionen enthalten.

Solche Verträge können rechtlich gänzlich oder in Teilen nichtig sein. In Deutschland kommen hierfür Verstöße gegen das Recht der Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen in Betracht, soweit diese anwendbar sind. Ferner kann ein sittenwidriges Rechtsgeschäft nach  Abs. 1 oder Wucher nach  Abs. 2 BGB vorliegen.

The first player to deplete all of his or her Skip-Bo stockpile cards is the winner!
Phase 10 (Ages 7+): This is a rummy-type card game with a challenging and exciting twist! The object of the game is to be the first player to complete 10 varied Phases: two sets of three, one run of seven, seven cards of one color, and more.

Exploding Kittens (Ages 7+): Exploding kittens is a card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats. In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian roulette, players draw cards until someone draws an exploding kitten, at which point they explode, they are Dead, and they are out of the game (unless that player has a defuse card). All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the exploding kittens!
Pass the Pigs (Ages 7+): This Pass the Pigs classic party game consists of 2 pigs you use as dice. Roll them as many times as you dare on your turn to score points.

Artists of the Abolition
Anitra Parmele
Throughout the Old Testament, God continuously instructed Israel to send their worshippers into battle in advance of the army. Though much has changed about the details of warfare, some things have not as God continues to use musicians and worship leaders to inspire, challenge and encourage in the battle for social, political and spiritual advancement. Here are just a few of the modern day worshippers who are using their platform and talents to advance the cause for justice in today's abolitionist movement through their lyrics and their lives.
Meredith Andrews
Growing up in Wilson, NC, Meredith Andrews needed to look no further than her own house to see God's heart for the least of these reflected in the faces of her three adopted brothers. Early plans to work in an orphanage gave way to obedience as she attended Liberty University and responded to God's calling to become a worship leader. Soon she was serving at Harvest Bible Chapel, led by noted author and pastor James MacDonald, and she signed a recording deal with Word Records. At the 42nd annual Dove Awards, Meredith won the Worship Album of the Year award for her sophomore effort As Long As It Takes and Worship Recorded Song of the Year for How Great Is The Love. Her website MeredithAndrews.com reveals her inspiration, in which Meredith shares, "I never want to write songs just to write songs. I always want them to be about conveying the heart of God to people, whether they are people who walk with the Lord or people who don't walk with the Lord." "I think the best way to do that is to do it through His word. I always want my songs to be infused with the Word of God because if it's my words, it's null and void. What do I have to say to people that is going to change their lives? Nothing! But if it comes from the Lord, that's what is going to change them," she adds. Meredith is currently touring with The Desperation Band on the Free To Live tour, sponsored by international children's Life Children's Hope Chest. Inspired by Micah 6:8 (NIV), which states, "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." A video promoting the tour promises a night to touch the Father's heart and to bring freedom to the sex slave. As the images fade, the words "Worship is action, Prayer is movement" flash across the screen.

"When we live the love of the Gospel out loud, a revolution will occur." – Grant
Natalie Grant is an award winning female vocalist, mother of three and a revolutionary. Her love revolution was launched in 2005 as she watched an episode of "Law & Order" that dealt with human trafficking. Shocked by the thought women and children were being held against their will near her suburban home, Natalie began to research the problem and to use her platform to educate, energize and to restore. A trip to India where she was given a tour of the devastating effects of trafficking as she and her husband met girls as young as five years old, only solidified her commitment to address the needs of these often overlooked victims. Since 2005, The Home Foundation, (Grant's foundation) has raised over a quarter million dollars to fight the trafficking of women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation. In light of statistics that suggest that more than 100,000 people have been trafficked in the U.S. with less than fifty beds in shelters available for them, The Home Foundation has announced a goal of establishing shelters in ten major cities and the establishment of a new Christian Trafficking Shelter Association to insure best practices are applied to the redemption and restoration of trafficking victims. With the release of her latest CD Love Revolution, Grant is once again putting her lyrics where her heart is as the project reminds us of "the simple significance of love and the revolutionary power that it carries."
For more information on The Home Foundation and her efforts to end trafficking, log onto NatalieGrant.com
Take No Glory
Inspired by an article on human trafficking written by International Justice Mission, Take No Glory's Johnna Utile felt like there was little that one person could do against such a pervasive problem. Johnna felt prompted by God to write a song about the life of a single victim. She wrote the lyrics of Beautiful Slave from the perspective of a young girl in forced prostitution: "Does God hear me? Does He see what's going on? Will I ever be free? It's takes a lot of healing and counseling to get through something like that but there is hope in Jesus." Encouraged by Luke 4, which states that captives will be released, the blind will see and the oppressed will be set free, Johnna is convinced that each person who receives Christ has the promise that their past can be healed. "They can live in a fallen world with the promise of Heaven. This hope is what can spur on someone to live their life despite the things of their past," Johnna adds. Take No Glory is a non-profit musicianary band offering all of their music through free mp3 downloads on their website. Take No Glory explains both their name and their unusual distribution system: "Our passion is to see Christians 'take no glory' nor receive praise from man, for what God has done. We have been bought with a price, and we are no longer our own, but Christ lives in us. Let's not conform to this world, but let your light so shine before men that they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." They look no further than the sending out of Jesus' disciples in Matthew 10:8-10 for their business model, explaining that, "When Jesus sent out His disciples to minister to people, He explained that they should do it all without expecting anything in return. He was teaching them to trust in God for their every need. We know and believe that where God guides, God provides."

It's an intriguing observation that captivity often gives rise to songs of worship. From the songs cited throughout the Old Testament as the nation of Israel was held captive, Paul and Silas singing praise to God in the midst of prison, songs birthed out of our country's experience with slavery and the modern struggle for civil rights, songs of worship have served as a rallying cry for both the oppressed and those who seek to provide them freedom. The genre and the melodies are contemporary but the cry for equality and for the justice associated with the kingdom of God to be visible in the lives of those around us is ageless.

Iran Willing to Resume Nuclear Talks as Sanctions Bite Hard
January 9, 2013 Steve Welsh - SCW Communications & Analysis Iran, Iran, Iran - Nuclear
(VOA – Henry Rigewell – January 09, 2013)
LONDON — Iran says it is prepared to return to talks, possibly later this month, with major world powers over its nuclear program. As the country's uranium enrichment program continues, Western countries have tightened economic sanctions against Tehran.U.S. President Barack Obama last week signed off on a new round of sanctions targeting Iran's energy and shipping sectors. They build on a range of unilateral and multilateral sanctions against Iranian industry and banks.
The measures are aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program. The West claims Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons; Tehran says the program is for civilian purposes.
Iran has indicated it is ready to hold a fresh round talks with international powers – the so-called P5+1 – the United States, Britain, Russia, China, and France, plus Germany.
Jamie Ingram, of IHS Global Insight, says the sanctions are forcing Iran to the negotiating table.
"This is hitting Iranians hard in the pocket," said Ingram. "Also, with the restrictions on imports, there are growing food shortages."
EU trade with Iran – even in permitted commodities – has fallen off dramatically in recent months. That's because European banks fear the wrath of the U.S., says Nigel Kushner, chief executive of W Legal which advises firms on trading with Iran.
"The Americans will have a quiet word with them, one suspects, and asks them not to do it," said Kushner. "So they won't do it even though they are permitted to do it. I was speaking yesterday with a Swiss bank who have said, 'We want to accept payments for medical goods, or humanitarian goods that are going to Iran, but we're too scared to do it.' "
Kushner says Iran is looking to countries beyond the jurisdiction of the sanctions to get what it needs.
"It might take longer, it might more cumbersome, and it might cost them more, but they will often look to countries like China, possibly Turkey, who don't need to comply," said Kushner.
The banking sanctions are causing the most pain in Iran, says analyst Ali Fathollah-Nejad of the University of London.
"You have huge financial and banking sanctions, which is the eye of the storm from which every other civilian branches of the economy are then crippled," said Fathollah-Nejad.
He argues the West must put the sanctions up for negotiation at any upcoming talks if a diplomatic solution is to be found.
"In terms of its economic development, in terms of the well-being of its population, in terms of the well-being of its civil society, is something that Iranians inside and outside the country do care a lot about," said Fathollah-Nejad. "And this is something that has to be put on the table."
If the talks between Iran and the P5+1 go ahead, analysts expect a focus on short-term confidence-building rather than a solution to the crisis.
The sanctions against Iran, meanwhile, are a hot topic in Washington after President Obama announced his pick of Chuck Hagel to be the new secretary of defense.
Hagel, a former Republican senator, is on record in the past as opposing unilateral sanctions against Iran. And if international talks with Iran fail, Hagel and the Pentagon would find themselves in the midst of a U.S. decision of whether to strike Iran militarily.

Conventional analysis methods in weather and climate science (e.g., EOF analysis) exhibit a number of drawbacks including scaling and mixing. These methods focus mostly on the bulk of the probability distribution of the system in state space and overlook its tail. This paper explores a different method, the archetypal analysis (AA), which focuses precisely on the extremes. AA seeks to approximate the convex hull of the data in state space by finding corners'' that represent pure'' types or archetypes through computing mixture weight matrices. The method is quite new in climate science, although it has been around for about two decades in pattern recognition. It encompasses, in particular, the virtues of EOFs and clustering. The method is presented along with a new manifold-based optimization algorithm that optimizes for the weights simultaneously, unlike the conventional multistep algorithm based on the alternating constrained least squares. The paper discusses the numerical solution and then applies it to the monthly sea surface temperature (SST) from HadISST and to the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) using sea level pressure (SLP) from ERA-40 over the Asian monsoon region. The application to SST reveals, in particular, three archetypes, namely, El Nino, La Nina, and a third pattern representing the western boundary currents. The latter archetype shows a particular trend in the last few decades. The application to the ASM SLP anomalies yields archetypes that are consistent with the ASM regimes found in the literature. Merits and weaknesses of the method along with possible future development are also discussed.

The Last Supper: A Group Birthday Dinner
By Julia Edelman
Photograph from Getty
On the afternoon of Jessica's day of nativity, the disciples texted her and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for the meal in honor of your thirtieth year?"
She replied, "Go into the city and find Matt, since his phone is always on 'Do Not Disturb.' Tell him that Jessica says, 'My appointed time is near. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but let's have a small dinner at your place.' "
So the disciples did as Jessica had directed and prepared the dinner, although they knew she would, in fact, make a big deal out of it.
When evening came, Jessica was reclining at the table with an overpriced birthday crown atop her head. Everything was exactly as she had imagined, but, when she looked around the room, she took notice of the fact that she was surrounded by couples.
While her guests enjoyed their vegan soba noodles, Jessica said, "Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me."
The room fell silent, except for the faint sound of Father John Misty playing from Matt's record player. All grew nervous, because when Jessica was mad she held a grudge for, like, months, and there was nothing to be done.
Her disciples began to say to her, one after the other, "Surely you don't mean me?" But Jessica looked straight ahead and Judy, the one who would betray her, understood that she should have just stayed in that night.
Judy and Jessica went into Matt's bathroom, so that they could talk privately, and there Judy attempted to explain, "I thought you might feel weird about being at a dinner with only couples. I was only trying to help."
At the sound of the doorbell, Jessica and Judy left the bathroom to find Adam, Jessica's ex, standing in the doorway. "Happy birthday," he said. "I brought a six-pack of Miller High Life, the champagne of beers." Adam proceeded to inform Jessica of his new improv group for half an hour as she sat silently.
Finally, Jessica took bread, broke it, and gave it to her disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it, for I am gluten-free, but none of you seem to have remembered." Then she stood and held aloft her glass of wine and gave thanks to Matt for generously hosting her birthday at his place, especially since he'd drunkenly promised that he would do so the week before.
She glared at Judy, and said, "I will not drink from this fruit of the vine, because I know it is five-dollar Trader Joe's wine, and also out of protest, as I see that you would crucify me for being single at this meal for my thirtieth year."
Now Peter already had consumed a good amount of this fruit of the vine. Feeling brave, he shook his head and said, "Not everything is about you. Ever since you got fifty-thousand followers, you've been acting different and calling us your disciples. It's weird."
Jessica stood before them then and knew that they were right, but also was starting to feel that fruit of the vine and really wanted to sit down.
With the night close to being ruined, they quickly sang a birthday hymn and took a flattering photo of Jessica blowing out her candles. She looked around at her disciples and swore unto them, "I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine to the point where I get really mean. Except maybe at Judy's birthday next weekend."

The Word my Son Learned at The American Museum of Natural History
I take my son to the American Museum of Natural History every month or so because it is an amazing, wonderful museum that is sort of close by. Yes, there are a few "eh" exhibits that are interchangeable with taking an Ambien (*cough* Felix M. Warburg Hall of New York State Environment *cough*) But much of the museum is fascinating for people of all ages.
"It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex. They used to eat children who refused to put on their jackets."
My son is just old enough to be excited about the museum. About the huge African Elephants and the taxidermied buffalo. About the enormous suspended replica of a blue whale. About the many African gazelle-type creatures, at which he yelled, "Goat! Goat!" as I nodded and said, "Yes, buddy, it's a goat," because even as an adult I find it unlikely that he'll be called upon to recognize a lesser kudu*.
And I, of course, felt like a wonderfully hands-on parent. Look at me taking my kid to this museum! What a great parent I am! Ignore that previous photo of me trying to get my streaming Netflix to work so that my son could watch Curious George and allow me to check my e-mail for fifteen minutes. That photo is not important! Stop looking at it! Look at this one of me walking him up and down the hall of African Animals. Look at this one of me letting him wander through the hall of Biodiversity. Surely I will be rewarded by a child who grows up to be a young Edward O. Wilson or an aspiring Desmond Morris. Look at me, feeding him crackers while we watch a Meryl Streep-narrated informational film about our evolutionary history. He will emerge from this day an inspired human being.
Except that despite all the elephants and dinosaurs and prehistoric fish he saw, the following day he seemed to have only one new word, which he was suddenly repeating incessantly.
"C'mon."
He walked down the hallway of our apartment, his hand reaching back, indicating that I should follow him, and said, "C'mon. C'mon." He did this for the remainder of the day and look, I've never felt like one of those parents who rushes her kids through everything, but sometimes your kids are the ultimate feedback of what you are doing. He didn't learn the word c'mon from one of his Alphabet books. (C is for C'mon! W is for What is taking so long? I is for "I'M COUNTING TO TEN!") But as I looked back I realized how often I had said it. When he was lingering by the enormous elevator. When he wanted to spend twenty minutes touching the button on the water fountain and exclaiming "Water!" every time water came out of it, like some character in the Old Testament, overwhelmed by a miracle. I said C'mon when he spent too long looking at the poster for the exhibit rather than going into the exhibit and when he kept looking at the same display of dolphins over and over while oblivious to other displays nearby that I wanted him to see.
And I felt terrible. I felt like one of those mothers I am always trying so hard not to be. If I had been on display in the hall of North American Mammals, the plaque near my taxidermied body would have read
The K'mon (C'mon)
The K'mon is native to many parts of the globe and is characterized by moving very quickly and wanting other creatures behind it to hurry up and move quickly as well. It was named for its signature cry, "K'mon! K'mon!" and can often be observed repeatedly looking at its smartphone to check the time. They often live in cities but can be found in all areas and climates.
And I'm not saying I'm the worst parent in the world. I'm not. And in fairness to me (and other reluctant K'mons) children are SO SLOW. The other day while walking down the street, my son was passed by a glacier. If Nathans held a reverse contest to see who could eat hot dogs the slowest, he would blow everybody out of the water. I'm just saying that I didn't realize what I was doing. I made a point not to rush him through the exhibits, but without noticing I was rushing him through other things that weren't exhibits but in which he was equally interested.
And that being said, here is something I had not thought about for a long time.
One of my first friends from nursery school was a little girl named Jennifer Hix who lived in a Funeral Home (Her father was the undertaker, for anyone who immediately assumed she was a ghost). And we would go and play in her yard, except that her yard was a parking lot and we would walk through her house except that her house was (again) a funeral home. And I was very young and don't remember much of what we had in common or what we played. Most of the details blend together. And the only reason I've held onto this memory at all was because of something I, at the time, found extraordinary– she had a water fountain in her house. And I remember going home and asking my mother if we could get a water fountain in our house and my mother very patiently said, "No. She has a water fountain because that's a normal thing to have in a funeral home but we are not getting a water fountain installed in our house, end of discussion."
My son isn't old enough to read this, but I would like to tell him that I'm sorry about the other day. I am an adult and I momentarily forgot that water fountains can be fascinating. The next time he is standing in the hallway going, "C'mon, c'mon," I will stop beating myself up for teaching him that phrase and will get up and follow him to see what he wants to show me.

As a service to its patrons, the Chicago State University Academic Library provides a small area at the rear of the Education Resource Center on the southwest side of the third floor for young children to read or play quietly while their adult caregivers study in carrels nearby. Caregivers may also use the area to read quietly to individual children or to small groups of children. Patrons may bring in their own reading materials or use items from the Center's collection of 21,855 children's books.


I have issues while trying to get a good alignment for printing on the 2nd side of a board. I had assumed until now that the issue was due to my error in performing the alignment. What makes me think that there are no issues with my technique is that I do not have the same issue while performing the alignment on the top side of the board.
What I mostly notice is that on the top side of the board, the drill will hit via's dead on. While on the bottom side, unless it was a via I used to perform the alignment, printing around the via hole is almost always off by a small amount.
I am performing the alignment as best I can for the top and bottom side but the bottom side is always off for a small amount.
It is incredibly difficult to align the 2nd side of a board. I think part of it is that the app only asks for two points of alignment, the first to set the origin and the second to set the rotation. If you could provide more points for the origin the position it might be able to average away any position error. I have had cases where I was absolutely certain that I had it aligned, tested alignment with multiple holes, only to have the board not aligned when printed. I think it's just that over the space of 4 inches the tiniest error aligning a single point is magnified.

BBVA Compass to Offer Real-Time Redemption of Rewards to Credit Card Clients
BBVA Compass, a United States-based financial holding company, recently announced that it will be offering its credit card clients real-time redemption of rewards earned on qualified purchases that they make at any retailer.
The patent-pending innovation was introduced with the latest release of BBVA Wallet, the bank's mobile wallet that gives clients an up-to-the-minute view of purchases, reward balances and more. BBVA Wallet purchase notifications—sent to clients immediately following the use of their BBVA Compass credit cards―now include cash rewards balances that can be redeemed for an account credit by simply responding to the alert.
"Our clients are getting instant cash-back gratification regardless of how or where they use their credit cards," BBVA Compass Chief Digital Banking Officer Jeff Dennes said in the press release. "Imagine buying a new TV and finding out, via an alert, that you can offset the amount of the purchase using your cash rewards before you even leave the store."
Dennes said rewards continue to be a valuable perk for credit card clients and an important driver of bank loyalty. "Every time our clients use their BBVA Compass credit cards, they're going to be reminded of how much we value their business," said Dennes. "It's the first service of its kind that doesn't place onerous restrictions on how rewards can be redeemed."
When replying to a BBVA Wallet notification, BBVA Compass cardholders can redeem cash rewards to offset a portion (as little as $1) or all of a purchase, depending on the amount of rewards available.
"We're committed to giving clients greater control of their finances and to make banking clearer, faster and easier," Dennes said. "Real-time rewards redemption is one more way we're delivering on that promise."
BBVA Compass' parent company, BBVA, first launched BBVA Wallet in 2013 in Spain and recently announced that the service has been downloaded more than 1 million times. It was introduced to clients in Chile, Mexico and the US earlier this year; Turkey's Garanti Bank, in which BBVA has nearly a 40% stake, launched it under the name BonusFlas last week.
With the added functionality in BBVA Wallet, BBVA Compass cardholders can access individual credit/debit card transaction details, set up credit/debit card transaction alerts, redeem credit card rewards in real-time, change the "nickname" assigned to a credit/debit card, activate a credit card, temporarily block credit card activity by turning card "on" or "off," permanently block and request reissue of a credit card and can change a credit card's PIN.

Pop up theatre comes to St Austell for one night only in aid of Cornwall Hospice Care
The organisers of a popular concert "A Gift for our Hospice" have confirmed their next musical spectacular will be on Tuesday 29th January. The event, that will raise funds for Cornish healthcare charity Cornwall Hospice Care, will start at 7.15pm in St Johns Methodist Church, Bodmin Road, St Austell.
Co-organiser David Hendry says; "We were overwhelmed with so much positive feedback after last year's fundraiser for Mount Edgcumbe Hospice. It was so popular we felt compelled to do another one. This is rapidly becoming an integral part of the St Austell music scene. This year we have a theme of 'music from the shows'. We are going to fill the Church with magnificent musical melodies that everyone knows and loves."
Matt Davies, also a co-organiser, added; "We are so very grateful to our friends at St Johns Methodist Church for allowing us to use the premises and to some of their congregation who, on the night, will organise refreshments. Without their help, we just couldn't do it. This fantastic building lends itself to an amazing theatre and with the professional sound and lighting we use this should give the event a very special atmosphere."
The line-up of musical guests includes soloists, Rachel Carter and Jonathon Tucker, the ever-popular Restormel Concert Band and the sensational mixed choir Note-Ability. David Hendry again; "I must thank MD Sound and Audio, The Financial Advice Centre and The Cornwall Channel for supporting the event, making sure that every penny taken on the night will go directly to the specialist care provided to terminally ill patients and their families, carers and friends at Mount Edgcumbe Hospice."
Jane Appleton is a Community Fundraiser for Cornwall Hospice Care: "We're delighted that this wonderful concert is happening once again and in support of our charity. I'd like to thank all those taking part for their ongoing support and want those who go along on the night to know that the money raised will help us to make a difference to families facing terminal illness here in Cornwall."
Tickets are £5 and will be available on the door on the night.

Hydrogeologic modeling supported by geologic mapping in three dimensions: Do the details really matter?
A detailed geologic framework model was utilized for groundwater analysis using a fully three-dimensional variably saturated flow model. The geologic framework model, which was developed by a team of glacial geologists from federal and state geological surveys, was fully three-dimensional and did not contain the usual (unrealistic) assumption of widespread aquifer layers separated by leaky aquitard layers of equal extent. The goal of the analysis was to explore the implications of the new generation of geologic framework models for regional groundwater flow, and particularly, groundwater–surface water interactions. A transient numerical simulation, using infiltration at the ground surface as a boundary condition, revealed rich flow complexity, including: (1) widespread, yet patchy, recharge areas with rates that vary through several orders of magnitude, with the recharge rates being statistically correlated to hydraulic conductivity of the vadose zone sediments, elevation, and ground surface slope; (2) the predominance of local flow systems, resulting in an abundance of seepage zones along the sides of the incised (postglacial) stream valleys, and other manifestations of the high water table and strong groundwater–surface water interaction, such as kettle lakes and wetlands; and (3) existence of partially confined aquifers owing to partial burial of deltaic deposits by moraines and lake-bottom deposits having slow vertical permeability. Taken together, these findings support the need for, and value of, high-resolution geologic framework models and the potential fruitful outcome of strong collaboration between glacial geologists and groundwater modelers.

Q: What would be the most basic Mac Mini to test LibGDX apps on for iPhone? I am developing apps for Android using LibGDX, and I would like to publish them for iPhone as well. I do not own a Mac and I heard that a Mac Mini would be a cheap solution to develop for iPhone.
What are the minimum requirements for a Mac Mini to test apps on? I would be primarily developing on Windows, so my idea would be that it's okay if the Mac is not the fastest one. I just need it primarily for testing.
I would like to know the minimum CPU, memory, O/S, and software that is necessary for testing.

A: I bought a second hand Mac Mini with an SSD and 8GB RAM which can run the latest version of Mac OSX: El Capitan. It works perfectly, although it is not the fastest, it is not terribly slow either.
This is important: The Mac Mini needs to be able to run the latest version of Mac OSX and XCode.
