Newmark Announces New Long-Term Lease with Design …
Newmark Announces New Long-Term Lease with Design Within Reach for Development of 600,000 SF E-Commerce Facility in Cincinnati
Newmark is pleased to announce the development of a 617,760-square-foot industrial build-to-suit (BTS) facility on more than 46 acres in the greater Cincinnati area for Design Within Reach (DWR). DWR signed a long-term lease with Duke Realty for the distribution center, which will be utilized for e-commerce and omni-channel fulfillment across North America. The Newmark team comprising Executive Managing Director Geoffrey Kasselman, SIOR, LEED AP; Executive Vice President and Managing Director James Ritman; Executive Managing Director Si Pitstick, SIOR; Senior Managing Director Josh Young, SIOR; Senior Managing Director Tim Brogan and Senior Managing Director Steve Bonge represented DWR in the transaction. Newmark also provided important labor analytics and incentives guidance and arranged for architecture firm Ware Malcomb to design the exterior ground-up construction and interior improvements. The project is slated to be finished in early 2019.
The new facility will be "future-proofed" with building design components that will include LED lighting throughout warehouse, office and exterior, extra roof structural support to house a future solar energy system, pre-installed conduit for several parking spaces to support electric vehicle charging, and provisions for a second primary power service from a different substation to support unimpeded operations under any circumstance. The advanced facility will be the first in a new business park in South Afton, located in Clermont County, Ohio.
The Ohio-based facility will replace two existing warehouses in Hebron, KY, which DWR has outgrown given its growing and expansive brand. Newmark helped DWR secure the second Hebron warehouse in 2017 to alleviate growth pains on a temporary basis, while arranging this South Afton space as a long-term solution. As part of the project, Newmark also restructured the two Hebron leases to coincide with the delivery of the new BTS facility.
"We're thrilled to have found and helped to craft the optimal distribution and fulfillment solution for Design Within Reach that meets all of its dynamic specifications," said Mr. Kasselman. "DWR's need for such e-commerce space is a true testament to the growth of the company, and we're happy to partner with them yet again to secure a significant state-of-the-art omni-channel distribution center to support its current needs, help drive further growth and ultimately, to propel the brand forward."
"We couldn't be more excited about the facility staying in the greater Cincinnati-area," DWR President John McPhee said of the deal. "This facility gives us the ability to service our existing demand as well as accommodate our future expansion plans."
Negotiations included all facets of building and systems design, accelerated delivery with a compressed construction schedule, and an allowance for an additional 112,320 square foot expansion to the facility. The precast building will feature 36' clear ceilings, a cross-dock design, ESFR sprinklers, and have 12,000 square feet of office space which will include many unique on-site employee amenities. DWR will employ approximately 75 people on a full-time basis at this facility.
This is not the first time Newmark and DWR have partnered together. Mr. Ritman previously represented the furniture company when it moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Stamford, CT, and actively represents DWR on its retail locations around the USA, serving as a strategic partner and helping DWR grow and thrive as a company.
Additionally, this is the second world-class e-commerce deal led by Mr. Kasselman for Newmark in the past 12 months. He previously secured a 1.1 million square foot long-term lease on behalf of ASOS. Newmark has quickly become a national leader in e-commerce warehouse space working with such notable players as Saddle Creek Logistics, Walmart, Hayneedle, DHL, and many others.

Binary Star System V404 Cygni Flares to Life

Forming rings of X-ray light that expand with time, creating a shooting target effect
Rings of X-ray light centered on V404 Cygni, a binary system containing an erupting black hole (dot at center), were imaged by the X-ray Telescope aboard NASA's Swift satellite from June 30 to July 4. A narrow gap splits the middle ring in two. Color indicates the energy of the X-rays, with red representing the lowest (800 to 1,500 electron volts, eV), green for medium (1,500 to 2,500 eV), and the most energetic (2,500 to 5,000 eV) shown in blue. For comparison, visible light has energies ranging from about 2 to 3 eV. The dark lines running diagonally through the image are artifacts of the imaging system.

Space news (astrophysics: binary star systems; black hole/sun-like star systems) – 8,000 light-years away toward the constellation Cygnus, next to flaring 10 solar mass black hole –
It all started just before 2:32 p.m. on June 15, 2015, when NASA's Swift X-ray Burst Alert Satellite detected a rising wave of high-speed, extremely-energetic X-rays emanating from the direction of the constellation Cygnus. Additional detections of the same flare ten minutes later by a Japanese experiment on the International Space Station called the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) and other detectors. Allowed astronomers to determine the outburst detected originated 8,000 light-years away in low-mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni, where previous data indicated a stellar-mass black hole and sun-like star orbited each other. A black hole and sun-like star binary system that up to this point had been sleeping since its last outburst in 1989.
The Swift X-ray image of V404 Cygni covers a patch of the sky equal to about half the apparent diameter of the full moon. This image shows the rings as they appeared on June 30. Credits: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio (left), Andrew Beardmore (Univ. of Leicester); NASA/Swift (right)
Fifteen days later on June 30, a team of scientists from around the world led by Andrew Beardmore of the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom investigated V404 Cygni a little closer using NASA's Swift X-ray Burst Alert Satellite. Images taken (above) revealed a series of concentric rings of X-ray light centered on a 10 solar mass black hole (dot at the center of image).
On the left, an optical image from the Digitized Sky Survey shows Cygnus X-1, outlined in a red box. Cygnus X-1 is located near large active regions of star formation in the Milky Way, as seen in this image that spans some 700 light years across. An artist's illustration on the right depicts what astronomers think is happening within the Cygnus X-1 system. Cygnus X-1 is a so-called stellar-mass black hole, a class of black holes that comes from the collapse of a massive star. The black hole pulls material from a massive, blue companion star toward it. This material forms a disk (shown in red and orange) that rotates around the black hole before falling into it or being redirected away from the black hole in the form of powerful jets.
Astronomers believe the x-ray rings are the result of echoing x-ray light from a large flare on June 26, 2016, at 1:40 p.m. EDT. The flare emitted x-rays in all directions. Multiple dust layers at around 4,000 and 1,000 light-years from V404 Cygni reflected some of these x-rays towards Earth. This reflected light travels a greater distance and reaches us slightly later than light traveling a straighter path. The small time difference produced an x-ray echo, formed x-ray rings expanding in spacetime.
"The flexible planning of Swift observations has given us the best dust-scattered X-ray ring images ever seen," Beardmore said. "With these observations, we can make a detailed study of the normally invisible interstellar dust in the direction of this black hole."
The team is currently watching V404 Cygni, waiting for its next outburst, and preparing Swift to collect additional data to determine exactly what's going on here. They hope to hit the bulls eye in human understanding of the collection on x-ray sources detected across the cosmos. Regular monitoring of this binary system using a suite of telescopes and instruments could give us clues to how a stellar-mass black hole and sun-like star end up orbiting each other. About the origin and formation of the unusual types of binary systems detected during the human journey to the beginning of space and time.

St Mary's - A Church Near You
St Leonard's - A Church Near You
St Mary's, Wansford
ST MARY'S Church, built in 1868, remains at the heart of village life in Wansford. It is one of the few of the Wolds church which boasts a spire - now ornamented by a gilded weather vane - part of the church roof restoration project.
This was a concerted effort by villagers to raise money to refurbish the roof - villagers and supporters raised almost £30,000 over a 10 year period and grant funding from bodies such as English Heritage enabled the £70,000 project to be completed in 2007.
There was sufficient cash left to upgrade the electricity supply to the church and enhance the lighting. Fund raising goes on as ambitious villagers hope to go on to raise sufficient money to clean the ornate roof and install central heating as well as many minor works.
The church is overseen by the St Mary's Parochial Church Council, which meets about six times a year to organise fundraising and take a general view of the running of the church.
One of the Sykes Churches, St Mary's features in the Sykes Church Trail. More information about the church can be accessed by clicking here:
St Leonard's, Skerne
SKERNE'S Norman church, St Leonard's, was much larger than its present day form, having a north transept of which the arches leading to it can still be seen.The entrance porch on the south side and the bell tower were probably 15th century additions.
The church is slightly set away from the village and is reached via Church Farm yard or a track running off the village's Wansford Road. It is a listed building. For more information about the listing, click here. For more information about St Leonard's click here

"No fish left behind" approach leaves Earth with nowhere left to fish: UBC researchers
Dec 2, 2010 | For more information, contact
The Earth has run out of room to expand fisheries, according to a new study led by University of British Columbia researchers that charts the systematic expansion of industrialized fisheries.
In collaboration with the National Geographic Society and published today in the online journal PLoS ONE, the study is the first to measure the spatial expansion of global fisheries. It reveals that fisheries expanded at a rate of one million sq. kilometres per year from the 1950s to the end of the 1970s. The rate of expansion more than tripled in the 1980s and early 1990s – to roughly the size of Brazil's Amazon rain forest every year.
View the study at http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0015143.
Between 1950 and 2005, the spatial expansion of fisheries started from the coastal waters off the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific, reached into the high seas and southward into the Southern Hemisphere at a rate of almost one degree latitude per year. It was accompanied by a nearly five-fold increase in catch, from 19 million tonnes in 1950, to a peak of 90 million tonnes in the late 1980s, and dropping to 87 million tonnes in 2005, according to the study.
"The decline of spatial expansion since the mid-1990s is not a reflection of successful conservation efforts but rather an indication that we've simply run out of room to expand fisheries," says Wilf Swartz, a PhD student at UBC Fisheries Centre and lead author of the study.
Meanwhile, less than 0.1 per cent of the world's oceans are designated as marine reserves that are closed to fishing.
"If people in Japan, Europe, and North America find themselves wondering how the markets are still filled with seafood, it's in part because spatial expansion and trade makes up for overfishing and 'fishing down the food chain' in local waters," says Swartz.
"While many people still view fisheries as a romantic, localized activity pursued by rugged individuals, the reality is that for decades now, numerous fisheries are corporate operations that take a mostly no-fish-left-behind approach to our oceans until there's nowhere left to go," says Daniel Pauly, co-author and principal investigator of the Sea Around Us Project at UBC Fisheries Centre.
The researchers used a newly created measurement for the ecological footprint of fisheries that allows them to determine the combined impact of all marine fisheries and their rate of expansion. Known as SeafoodPrint, it quantifies the amount of "primary production" – the microscopic organisms and plants at the bottom of the marine food chain – required to produce any given amount of fish.
"This method allows us to truly gauge the impact of catching all types of fish, from large predators such as bluefin tuna to small fish such as sardines and anchovies," says Pauly. "Because not all fish are created equal and neither is their impact on the sustainability of our ocean."
"The era of great expansion has come to an end, and maintaining the current supply of wild fish sustainably is not possible," says co-author and National Geographic Ocean Fellow Enric Sala. "The sooner we come to grips with it – similar to how society has recognized the effects of climate change – the sooner we can stop the downward spiral by creating stricter fisheries regulations and more marine reserves."
The University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre, in the College for Interdisciplinary Studies, undertakes research to restore fisheries, conserve aquatic life and rebuild ecosystems. It promotes multidisciplinary study of aquatic ecosystems and broad-based collaboration with maritime communities, government, NGOs and other partners. The UBC Fisheries Centre is recognized globally for its innovative and enterprising research, with its academics winning many accolades and awards. The Sea Around Us Project is funded in part by the Pew Environment Group. For more information, visit www.fisheries.ubc.ca and www.cfis.ubc.ca.
The National Geographic Society, the Waitt Foundation, the SEAlliance along with strategic government, private, academic and conservation partners including the TEDPrize, Google and IUCN, are beginning an action-oriented marine conservation initiative under the banner of "Mission Blue" that will increase global awareness of the urgent ocean crisis and help to reverse the decline in ocean health by inspiring people to care and act; reducing the impact of fishing; and promoting the creation of marine protected areas.

Saul Bellow: Mr. Sammler's Planet
This work received a certain amount of criticism for not only is it misogynistic and, some would say, racist, it seems to be the work of an old man out of touch with the young. The eponymous Mr. Sammler was the Jewish son of a Polish aristocrat. He had gone to England in the 1930s where he had mixed with the Bloomsbury Group and had become a sophisticated Anglophile intellectual. In 1939 he has to return to Poland to help his wife settle her father's estate and they, with their daughter, are caught up in the Nazi invasion. His wife dies, his daughter is sheltered by nuns and Sammler, after killing a Nazi, manages to hide out for the duration. After the war, he and his daughter go the USA but his experiences, particularly his war experiences, have left him bitter and misanthropic.
He lives in New York but to his relatives in New York he is an anachronism while he himself hates modern New York and its values. His colleague, Dr. Lal, proposes colonising the moon but Sammler rejects the idea. When Sammler's daughter steals Lal's manuscript to help her father, he is concerned with quickly returning it to Dr. Lal. He is bitterly opposed to 1960s sexual and other mores and blames feminism for the demise of the values he cherishes. Two things give him his Bellow epiphany moment. The first is when he has previously been threatened by a black pickpocket. He later sees the same pickpocket attacking a young colleague, while the New York crowd stands around and watches. He urges his son-in-law to intervene. The son-in-law not only intervenes but nearly kills the pickpocket. For Sammler, this reaction is excessive. When he saw this event, he was on the way to the hospital to visit his dying nephew, Elya Gruner. Gruner has fallen out with his daughter, Angela. Sammler tries to reconcile the two but fails. Gruner dies and Sammler, like other Bellow heroes, realises that he, Sammler, had done what he had to do in being with the dying man and that that is what is important for him and for any Bellow hero.

China Age structure
Factbook > Countries > China > Demographics
Age structure: 0-14 years: 17.15% (male 127,484,177/female 109,113,241)
15-24 years: 12.78% (male 94,215,607/female 82,050,623)
25-54 years: 48.51% (male 341,466,438/female 327,661,460)
65 years and over: 10.81% (male 71,103,029/female 77,995,969) (2017 est.)
Definition: This entry provides the distribution of the population according to age. Information is included by sex and age group as follows: 0-14 years (children), 15-24 years (early working age), 25-54 years (prime working age), 55-64 years (mature working age), 65 years and over (elderly). The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.
Population Pyramid
A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends.

Q: Scala 2.7.x type mismatch error when passing null for a reference type The following Scala code fails to compile in Scala 2.7.7, with a type mismatch error "found: Null(null) required: T" on the last line:
/**
 * @param [T] key type
 */
class Key[T]

class Entry[T](val k: Key[T], val v: T)

def makeEntry[T <: AnyRef] = new Entry[T](new Key[T], null)

I'm fully aware of the evilness of nulls, but suffice it to say that I actually need to do this. Is this a compiler bug or programmer error?
Edit: Just to clarify, T is a type parameter and not a concrete type. I didn't realize this was ambiguous in the original question until I read Carl's response more carefully.

A: Apparently the correct way to do this in 2.7 is:
class Key[T]

class Entry[T](val k: Key[T], val v: T)

def makeEntry[T >: Null] = new Entry(new Key[T], null)

A: Here's the definition that covers null:

Type Null is a subtype of all reference types; its only instance is the null reference. Since Null is not a subtype of value types, null is not a member of any such type. For instance, it is not possible to assign null to a variable of type Int.

In English, this is saying you can't assign null to a value type but it's valid to assign to any reference type.
I'm having some trouble figuring out whether T is a value or reference type; but that would answer your question.
As you define T to be a subtype of AnyRef, I guess it's a ref and the "bug" explanation seems the more likely; especially as Mitch Blevins just said the code works under 2.8 .

A: Try this:
class Key[T <: AnyRef]

class Entry[T <: AnyRef](val k: Key[T], val v: T)

def makeEntry[T <: AnyRef] = new Entry[T](new Key[T], null.asInstanceOf[T])

I'm not sure why the "asInstanceOf[T]" is required, but it seems to be.

A: Have you tried this?
def makeEntry[T <: AnyRef] = new Entry[T](new Key[T], null: T)

There are numerous natural self-defense weapons inside human body. Martial arts experts figure out how to start using these weapons to protect themselves on the road. The human head can be a devastating weapon to utilize against an attacker. In this article we're going to show how one can utilize head for not only thinking however for striking.
The answer to this question lies to some large extent in your ultimate aim. In other words, what precisely do you want to achieve (and subsequently do), while using training that you receive? Also, what has been the inspiration to suit your needs, to possess come to this training? Are you intending to compete professionally in international tournaments or competitions? Have you been enamored by a particular super star (or possibly a character played by that star), who goes wrong with indulge himself or herself in a particular style? Do you want to keep yourself healthy, and consider this to be training just as one ideal means towards that end? These are the type of questions you will want to ask yourself constantly.
When and where possible back your car or truck into parking spaces. This allows to get a quick getaway if the need arises. It also offers you a way to check backup lights, brake lights, turn signals, etc. if you have a wall behind your motor vehicle. It also gives you a clear view to find out if someone is approaching your vehicle once you've gotten in to the vehicle. It is much simpler to see out your windshield compared to out of your rearview mirrors.
The fight-or-flight syndrome is a result of the sub-conscious autonomic nervous system. The fight-or-flight syndrome determines whether you may defend yourself or make an effort to get off the specific situation. Pain can work for or against a victim. Shock conversely, just isn't controllable. Martial arts training teaches one to recognize if you find an opportunity to flee. Avoiding shock can mean the difference between a successful outcome as well as a possible fatal situation.
We hope you can find what you need here. We always effort to show a picture with HD resolution or at least with perfect images. Karate or Taekwondo for Self Defense Lovely Pin by Dave Stege On Martial Arts Pinterest can be beneficial inspiration for those who seek an image according specific categories; you can find it in this site. Finally all pictures we have been displayed in this site will inspire you all..


Choosing paint colors for your home can be an adventure. Mallory Paint Store's painting specialists are here to help you pick out the perfect colors and shade combinations to get your rooms glowing with your unique personality and flair.
Each season brings with it a new feel for your home with changes in lighting and possibly decor. Seasons provide a great color palette. A winter room includes whites and blues with deep, cool shades. A summer feel includes using light greens, sky blues, and sandy yellows. Spring is represented with lighter colors such as pinks, teals, and grass greens. A fall color palette uses bold oranges, reds, and dusky browns to imitate hues of leaves and trees.
For a dramatic effect, choose colors with high contrast using complimentary colors where you start with a primary color and match it to the opposite secondary color, such as matching blue to orange, or red to green. For a soothing home environment, use analogous colors which are adjacent to each other on a color wheel. These color combinations are harmonious using several similar shades of a color, such as orange along with peaches and yellows.
Another paint inspiration can be found by using Mallory Paint Store's color matching specialists. Something important or meaningful to you, such as a special pillow, blanket or even a toy can be brought in to our store and paint experts will create a paint to match.

Not all disabilities are visible and to look at 14-year-old Kian you would be forgiven if you didn't realise the struggles he has faced and still faces to this day. However, thanks to the dedicated work that Everyone Can have provided, Kian now has a place he feels safe enough to begin to challenge himself and engage in his community.
Mike has graduated with a first from Cambridge and is employed by a high profile advertising agency in London - although impressive, this story by itself is not unique. That is until you realise what Mike has had to overcome to make these achievements.

Leigh has four boys, three of which have a disability. Jordan has Cerebral Palsy, Callum has autism, Jamie has ADHD and Cameron is non-disabled. All four boys and Leigh have been coming to our weekly gaming sessions since we opened our centre back in May - they haven't missed one!

The first haute couture house in Paris was established in 1958 by Englishman Charles Frederick Worth. Rather than being simply a dressmaker, he was an artist. There have been many more to follow Mr. Worth, including the rocker-glam leader of the fashion world, Versace.
Gianni Versace started his clothing line in the late 70s and debuted his first couture collection in 1989 while always keeping his family working closely alongside him. From the very beginning, Versace used innovative materials in his designs, such as metal mesh and a unique blend of rubber and leather.
Gianni's sister, Donatella, has kept Versace going strong through the years and did not disappoint with the latest couture designs based on the theme metamorphosis. There were short dresses paired with gladiator sandals and long gowns showing off hourglass silhouettes that were the epitome of glamour. Using fresh construction techniques involving knots, pleats, metal, and organic elements, each piece was loaded with texture. Just as the theme suggested, Versace's couture collection was inspired by the beauty of transformation.
I dusted off my sewing machines and started creating again. I designed everything from one-piece rompers and dresses to pants and graphic tops. Using matching white and black fabrics, I even created some of my own prints by making a checkerboard-like pattern and sewing stripes onto fabric. The end result was a mini capsule collection.

First bC India Trade Show Deemed a Success
22,000 "quality" visitors toured more than 500 exhibits in Mumbai
22,000 visitors toured about 860,000 square feet of exhibit space at the first bC India trade show this week.
In four days this week, more than 22,000 visitors attended the bC India exhibition in Mumbai, drawing wide acclaim that it has been a successful first-time show. The construction trade show was organized by a joint venture between the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), organizers of CONEXPO-CON/AGG, and Messe München International (MMI), organizer of the bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany and bauma China in Shanghai, China.
"This result shows clearly that our decision to launch bC India just came at the right time at the right place," said Thomas Löffler, chief executive officer of bC Expo India and deputy CEO of MMI India. "Furthermore, the number of exhibitors as well as the feedback from all participants evidence impressively that bC India truly is a new dimension for the construction industry."
Responding to very strong demand from exhibitors in the run-up to the show, the exhibition space for bC India had been extended to a total of around 88,000 square meters. All in all, 508 exhibitors from over 30 countries showed the latest equipment for construction, mining and building materials. Seventy percent of the registered exhibitors were headquartered outside of India.
The international character of this trade fair was underlined with the participation of nine national pavilions from Australia, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain and the United Kingdom, all showcasing state-of-the-art technology produced in these countries.
The joint venture partners supporting the show were highly satisfied with the outcome. "bC India proves to be a premium platform for the construction machinery industry in India by setting new organizational standards," said Eugen Egetenmeir, managing director of MMI. Dennis Slater, president of AEM, added: "The overall numbers are outstanding. I am convinced that bC India will indeed play a very important role in the Indian market in the near future."
In particular, the quality of business visitors and the facilities were highly appreciated among the exhibitors. The show welcomed free pre-registrations and charging an entrance fee to those who were not pre-registered. "The quality of visitors has been extremely good thanks to the restricted entry policy", said V. Venkataramana, vice president of Puzzolana. Ramesh Palagiri, managing director and CEO of Wirtgen India, added, "All visitors at our booth were 100% quality visitors."
With regards to the facilities and especially the indoor structure and outdoor exhibition area, all participants were extremely satisfied: "The organization has been perfect and we are enjoying a first-class exhibition", said José Luis del Prim, CEO of Enarco and president of the Committee for European Construction Equipment CECE. "I recommend this event to all equipment manufacturers. We will come back."
In this context and from day one, bC India also turned out to be a perfect platform for doing real business: "bC India is not only an image branding show but also a selling show", said Dr. Thomas Schulz, president of Sandvik's construction division. "Although the show is still running, we have been able to sell 207 units so far."
Michael Schmid-Lindenmayer, managing director of Putzmeister India, said: "India definitely needed an event like bC India."

Is Rain Man Syndrome Real?
More in Rare Diseases
The condition is actually called savant syndrome
Mary Kugler, RN
Mary Kugler, RN, is a pediatric nurse whose specialty is caring for children with long-term or severe medical problems.
Rochelle Collins, DO
Medically reviewed by Rochelle Collins, DO
Rochelle Collins, DO, is a board-certified family medicine doctor currently practicing in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
In 1988, the movie "Rain Man," starring Dustin Hoffman, introduced many to a disorder known as savant syndrome. In the film, Hoffman's character, Raymond Babbitt, has an amazing memory for baseball statistics and phone book listings. He can also count cards in blackjack.
This is a real-life condition that is officially called savant syndrome.
This article explains how people with savant syndrome function. It also talks about famous people who had this syndrome and what researchers think causes it.

Causes and Characteristics of Savant Syndrome
Savant syndrome is very rare. People with autistic spectrum disorder have been known to have savant syndrome. It can also occur later in life because of a brain injury or disease, known as acquired savant syndrome. It occurs more often in males than in females.
People with savant syndrome have a great memory that focuses in one area. These people can focus a lot on things like license plate numbers, historical dates, geography facts, lists of people (like U.S. presidents or world leaders), and other random trivia.
Some of these people are very artistic or musical. They may hear a piano concerto once and be able to play it perfectly.
Others have excellent math skills, such as being able to make extremely difficult calculations in seconds. Others can calculate calendar days quickly to pick out the day of the week for any random date in the past or present.
The Savant in History
People with savant syndrome were described in the medical literature as early as 1751. It was not until 1997 that the term "idiot savant" was used by Dr. J. Langdon Down. He was the first physician to describe Down syndrome. He explained that people with Down syndrome having low IQs but above average knowledge in certain areas. This is why he used the word "savant," the French word for "learned."
In history, there have been many important people who fit this description. They are brilliant in a specific area but do not have key social and developmental skills. Among them:
Kim Peek (1951-2009), a man born with brain abnormalities who was the inspiration for the film "Rain Man."
Tom Wiggins (1849-1908), a blind black musical talent whose developmental skills would today be described as autistic.
Temple Grandin (1947- ), an autistic woman known for her livestock animal behavior skills. Her story was told in the HBO movie "Temple Grandin."
Today, savant syndrome is the correct term for the disorder. While some use autistic savant to describe the condition, only around half of the people with the syndrome are autistic.
Many people believe that savant syndrome is not a real condition. It is rare but real. People with this syndrome are usually artistic or musical with amazing memories. There are many famous people in history who had savant syndrome.
Investigating Savant Syndrome
Savant syndrome is interesting to the public, but no one knows the exact number of people who have this syndrome. Some studies suggest that as many as one in 10 people with autism have some degree of savant syndrome.
There is currently no accepted cause that explains how people with savant syndrome can be both very talented and impaired. Some researchers think that it comes from an abnormality in the part of the brain that handles object perception and recognition. This area of the brain is known as the anterior temporal lobe. People with acquired savant syndrome often experience damage there.
Scientists still study the condition to get a better idea of the functions of the brain. They also hope to understand how different types of memory work separately and together.
Savant syndrome is a rare condition where people usually have an amazing memory focused in one area but have lower social and development skills. About half of people with savant syndrome are autistic. More research is needed to figure out exactly why this condition occurs but researchers believe a certain area of the brain is part of the answer. The anterior temporal lobe helps people identify, organize, and understand objects and concepts.

The Holy Spirit has really been convicting me about focus lately. Particularly, understanding my calling, and knowing I have not been called to be a social reformer primarily, but called as a Minister of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. This doesn't mean I don't have opinions or passions about some of these social issues, but knowing that my focus should primarily be and remain on the only real hope for mankind, God's Kingdom through Jesus Christ our only doorway, mediator, and King. Praise God for the Spirit of Truth that rests and resides within each one of us.
Seek the LORD as to what your "Calling" is, for some callings are uniquely distinctive places in which you alone can serve. Know who you are called to and what you are called to …then WALK in it! Remembering we are all called to be Ambassadors for Christ given the Ministry of Reconciliation.
Please consider these texts, but not these alone; cross reference and really dig for pearls of truth.
Know that you are called with an everlasting purpose. Grace and Peace be with you!

Amazon has progressively launched new resources to help sellers since the launch of Amazon.sg in October 2019. For instance, Amazon introduced the Amazon Seller App for sellers with accounts on Amazon.sg to easily track sales and manage their business via mobile. To empower sellers to build and nurture their businesses online, Amazon rolled out its Marketplace Appstore, a one-stop shop to discover third-party applications and services for automating tedious business aspects, and the Seller Forum, a resource for first-hand advice from fellow business owners on selling with Amazon.
Ecommerce Booster Package with Enterprise Singapore to bring retailers online
As part of the event's keynote presentation, Enterprise Singapore detailed the support available for local retailers and its partnership with Amazon for the Ecommerce booster package.
To date, Amazon has on board over hundreds of new retailers to sell online on its marketplace. The one-time grant from Enterprise Singapore of up to S$9,000 per retailer can be used to subsidize content development, product listing, channel management, fulfilment, advertising and promotion, trainings and workshops for local retailers to enhance their eCommerce capabilities and reach more customers. This is in addition to the benefits of Amazon's promotional campaigns, data analysis of sales, and access to training workshops and 200 innovative tools to help retailers manage their businesses effectively on Amazon.
The role of digital in navigating difficult and uncertain COVID-19 conditions
OCBC's keynote speech explored how SMBs can emerge stronger and more resilient post COVID-19. During this period, Amazon has also teamed up with OCBC to offer the first 200 eligible OCBC SMB customers, who sign up with Amazon through the package, S$1,500 in Amazon Web Service (AWS) credit.
Melvyn Low, Head of Global Transaction Banking, OCBC Bank, said: "It is critical for businesses to adapt, pivot and transform, and digital will play a big role in this. We have been helping businesses change the way they buy, sell and operate through our partnerships with key enablers such as Amazon. The Amazon Singapore Online Seller Summit 2020 has been a great opportunity to exchange such ideas and experiences as we journey together to a new reality."
