Canada is getting a national suicide hotline in 2017
By Peter GoffinGTA

updateArticle was updated Sep. 07, 2017
A rising music star is helping make the U.S. national suicide helpline famous, but Canadians will have to wait until later this year for a similar life-saving service to launch north of the border.
The Suicide Prevention Lifeline, funded by the American government, saw a 50 per cent increase in its number of incoming calls on Aug. 27 after rapper Logic performed his single "1-800-273-8255" on the MTV Video Music Awards.
The song's title refers to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline's phone number. Its lyrics tell the story of a man who feels suicidal but is convinced by a reassuring counsellor not to take his own life.
A music video for "1-800-273-8255" has garnered nearly 20 million views on YouTube since Aug. 17.
Logic has been lauded for drawing attention to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a vital mental health resource. But no such feat would be possible in Canada, which has no centralized national suicide hotline but dozens of separate, localized suicide hotlines across the country, each with its own contact information.
"At the most vulnerable times in your life, you're probably not going to go online and look up your local suicide prevention number, you're not going to ask a whole lot of people who to call for help," Mark Henick, National Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Canadian Mental Health Association said.
"It has to be simple and ubiquitous to get help. For example, one recognizable, well-marketed phone line that you think of in those times of crisis when otherwise you're not thinking of much else."
In November 2016, the government of Canada announced it would work with Rogers Communications and Crisis Services Canada — a network of hotline providers — to create a national suicide prevention service by "late 2017."
The Canada Suicide Prevention Service will, much like its existing U.S. counterpart, link existing hotlines across the country, providing a centralized contact point to talk, text or chat online with crisis workers.
The U.S. Suicide Prevention Lifeline was launched in 2005 and now comprises over 160 individual crisis centres across the U.S. Anyone, anywhere in the country, can dial 1-800-273-8255 and be connected almost immediately to a crisis worker in their area. The Lifeline received over 1.5 million calls in 2014 alone.
There is little public information available on when exactly the Canada Suicide Prevention Service will launch and what phone number or other contact information it will use.
The Public Health Agency of Canada, which has earmarked $2 million over five years for the service, told the Star that the launch was still slated for "late 2017."
Any initiative that improves access to services for people in crisis has the potential to be a positive step, Dr. David Goldbloom, Senior Medical Advisor at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health said.
"Even at CAMH, which is just one institution, we've had to develop our own virtual front door ... around the idea that even within a single institution it can be baffling to know what portal to go through for help."
While most of Canada is served by a fragmented collection of crisis centres, there is some precedent for centralized suicide hotlines. The Canada-wide Kids Help Phone is available to children and young adults, and Quebec and British Columbia already have their own province-wide hotlines.
The key for these contact points is to be part of a broader suicide prevention strategy, Goldbloom said.
"The suicide hotline (should) do two things. It helps people in the moment struggling with suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. Ideally, it also helps them connect to appropriate ongoing resources," he added.
"It's not simply a finger in the dike, but a pathway into what is for most Canadians a complex, or almost unfathomable system of care."

PA arrests Hebron businessman who attended Bahrain conference
Palestinian official says Ramallah may be looking for more info on US-led summit with detention of Saleh Abu Mayala; 2nd Palestinian participant said to narrowly escape arrest

The Palestinian Authority arrested a Palestinian businessman who attended the US-led economic conference in Bahrain this past week where the Trump administration unveiled the economic aspects of its proposed peace plan, a senior PA official said on Saturday.
Saleh Abu Mayala was arrested in Hebron by Palestinian intelligence forces in an area under Palestinian Authority security control, the Hebron-based senior PA official told The Times of Israel.
The official said he wasn't aware of the reason for the arrest, but said that Ramallah might be seeking intelligence on the Bahrain conference.
Palestinian officials refused to attend the summit and urged Arab states not to participate. But some Palestinian entrepreneurs were present.

PA security forces also attempted to arrest Ashraf Ghanam, a Palestinian businessman who attended the conference, in Hebron, but he successfully fled to an Israeli-controlled part of the city, another Palestinian businessman who participated in the confab said in a phone call.
The businessman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added that the PA was pursuing him and the other Palestinian businesspeople for attending the event.
"We are being pursued and threatened. All of us are in a precarious position," he said. "Why is it that people working on advancing peace and building a better future receive this type of treatment?"
Unnamed Palestinian sources told Hebrew-language Kan public broadcaster that the businessmen who attended the conference were sought out for arrest pending tax-related suspicions.
A list of Palestinian businessmen who attended the event – some of whom live in Palestinian areas and some of whom live abroad – was circulating on Palestinian social media, the Hebrew-language news site Ynet reported.
Though Palestinian officials boycotted the conference, Saeb Erekat, the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee on Tuesday said that no Palestinians were prevented from attending.
"It is shameless for some to claim that Palestinians were threatened or prevented" from attending the workshop, Erekat said in a tweet. He also issued a second post in which he called on those who felt threatened to contact his office.
"If any Palestinian was invited to the Manama work shop[sic], and did not go because he/ she were threatened or prevented by the PLO, Palestinian National Authority, Palestinian factions or parties. Please do not hesitate to contact me in any way you see fit," he wrote.

A small number of Palestinian businessmen attended the summit and only Ashraf Jabari, a Hebron-based businessman with ties to Israeli settlers and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, spoke on one of its panels. Jabari has faced intense criticism for his relations with Israeli settlers and is often derided as being outside of the Palestinian mainstream.

Mayala is known to have close ties to Jabari.
The conference, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, focused on the economic portion of the US administration's peace plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which includes proposals for more than $50 billion of investment over the next 10 years in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and neighboring Arab countries.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday that the Ramallah-based Palestinian leadership pushed back on the conference, arguing that a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must precede projects to develop the Palestinian economy.
"We say that national rights are not pieces of real estate that are purchased and sold and that arriving at a political solution that guarantees freedom, dignity, independence and justice for our people must precede any economic programs or projects because that will create stability and security for everyone. For that reason, the State of Palestine did not participate in the American workshop that took place two days ago in Manama," he said.

Selena McMahan '05, A Clown Without Borders Archives
May 13, 2014 by Rebecca Goldfine
Selena McMahan '05, president of the International Federation of Clowns Without Borders
Selena McMahan is a clown with a serious mission. While she might act goofy and a touch dizzy on stage, her organizational and diplomatic skills have brought her to the head of an international organization that brings laughter to children living in areas of crisis.
For the past two years, McMahan has led the International Federation of Clowns Without Borders. As president, she's overseen increasing collaboration among the federation's 11 country chapters, which raise money and sort out logistics to send clowns to regions in crisis.
"We want to organize projects in areas we haven't gone to yet," McMahan said in a recent telephone interview from her home in Paris. "But we also want to keep going back to places, because recurring projects and capacity building are important, too." Lately McMahan has been coordinating projects in response to the Syrian civil war. "We've got chapters working in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt, so that we don't all go to the same place at the same time."
By "we," McMahan is referring to other professional artists like herself who volunteer to perform shows in places where lighthearted fun is in short supply. Clowns Without Borders was founded in the early 1990s, when a group of young students in Barcelona asked Catalan clown Tortell Poltrona to perform for refugee children affected by the Balkan ethnic conflicts. Since then, the nonprofit has expanded around the world. Last year, about 380 volunteer performers participated in 80 projects — from Colombia and Myanmar to the Philippines and Haiti — "sharing joy, laughter and dreams with approximately 320,000 children and adults," according to McMahan.

McMahan tries to travel on at least one Clowns Without Borders trip a year, and has performed in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, southern Africa and Ethiopia. Since the massive 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince and surroundings, her annual expeditions have been to Haiti. In November, she'll return to Haiti to perform with French, American and Haitian artists.
Clowns Without Borders always partners with a local NGO to organize shows and workshops for children in refugee camps, orphanages or schools. The clowns combine their musical and theatrical talents to put on a "physical, crazy spectacular event," McMahan said. The children immediately connect with the clowns, according to McMahan. "Sometimes they get super excited and hyper. Sometimes they sit there full of wonder," she said. "A lot of times we perform for audiences that don't get to see a lot of performances, so it's a very big, exciting event."
After the show, children at times rush at the clowns to get a closer look or to show off their own unique abilities. "Social connections, inclusion, shared laughter, and the capacity to dream can contribute to a child's resilience," McMahan said. "CWB artists get a sense of this, seeing children light up as they watch the shows. This is why we do the work."

Being president of an international humanitarian organization is not McMahan's day job. To earn her keep, she works as a professional clown in Paris, France, where she's lived for the past seven years. McMahan is multilingual (she speaks English, French, Spanish and Portuguese), and grew up both in France and New York City. After graduating from Bowdoin, she received a Watson fellowship to travel the world for a year visiting humanitarian clown and social circus groups. Following this, she trained at an international theater school, Jacques Lecoq, in Paris. These days she works as an actor-clown for Le Rire Médecin, performing custom-tailored improvised scenes for children in hospitals, as well as for their families and hospital staff.
McMahan has also started her own small Parisian theater company. Its most recent project is called "Inclownito," with six clownish characters trying to integrate life in the Paris suburb of Champigny.
As an undergraduate at Bowdoin, McMahan was involved in visual arts, dance and theater, with an emphasis on activist art. She says that clowning satisfies her need to make art that instantly affects people and builds a dynamic connection between performer and audience. "It is an immediate art form. You're really in the present," she said. "If your audience responds in a certain way, you have to react to it. You're really connected and directly in contact."

Our pets are our family. They provide us with companionship, affection, comfort, and countless hours of entertainment. If you have pets, you realize how essential they are to your life. It comes as no surprise then that many pet owners want to ensure their pets are cared for should they be unable to do so themselves.
A Pet Trust is a tool used to ensure that your pets or other animals are cared for if you are unable to care for them yourself. Rather than simply hoping your pet is cared for properly, you can ensure your pet lives a happy life and is cared for in a manner of your choosing by using a pet trust. Pet Trusts are specifically authorized under Michigan law. They are generally set up by an estate planning attorney in conjunction with a last will and testament or living trust as part of your estate plan.
In the past, it was common practice for those with pets to simply give their pet to a family member and hope the pet was cared for appropriately. On occasion, some would even provide a specific amount of cash or other assets to help with the care of the pet. The trouble with this model is there is no way to control how the pet will be cared for. You are simply hoping your pet's caregiver follows through with your wishes. To resolve this issue, lawyers have developed the pet trust.
What Types of Animals are covered?
Under Michigan law, Pet Trusts may be used to provide care for domestic animals or pet animals. This includes dogs, cats, birds, horses, and more.
Choose a Trustee & Caregiver.
A Pet Trust is relatively simple. First you select a trustee. The trustee is the person who will manage the funds in the trust for the benefit of your pet. Next, you select a caregiver. This is the person who will provide the day-to-day care for your pet. Including, food, shelter, medication and more. Often times the trustee and caregiver are the same person, but they can be different persons.
Pet Care & Healthcare Requirements.
Within the Pet Trust you provide your trustee and caregiver with a list of instructions as to how they should care for your pet. You can outline your pet's nutritional and boarding requirements, exercise needs, veterinarian visits and more. You can even direct what is to be done with your pet when he or she passes.
Provide Money to the Trust.
You will need to give the trust a reasonable amount of funds to ensure your trustee and caregiver have the means necessary to provide for your pet as directed. Enough money should be set aside to pay for food, shelter, medicine, veterinarians, caregiver compensation and other service providers. Be certain to provide the trust with enough money to cover all of your pet's needs for its lifetime. Be careful, the court may reduce the amount of the property transferred to the Trust if it determines that that amount substantially exceeds the amount required for the care of the animal.
What if there is Money Left in the Pet Trust?
Under Michigan law, the pet trust will remain in existence until all of your pets pass. You can provide a contingent beneficiary for any money left over. For example, you can direct that all reaming funds go to a child, family member, or a charity of your choosing.
Would you like to learn more about using a pet trust to care for your pets? If so, our attorney can help. Gives us a call to learn more!

OECD Home NewsroomReceiving Globalist of the Year award, Angel Gurría stresses the importance of multilateral co-operation
Receiving Globalist of the Year award, Angel Gurría stresses the importance of multilateral co-operation
26/10/2007 - OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría received the first ever "Globalist of the Year" award from the Canadian International Council for his contribution to innovation in global governance and international affairs.
Accepting the award at a ceremony in Toronto, Mr. Gurría stressed the need for co-operation between the world's major economies and affirmed his determination to reinforce OECD's role as a hub for global dialogue between governments, business and civil society. ( see Mr. Gurría's speech).
"I am honoured to receive this award, which acknowledges my longstanding personal commitment to multilateral co-operation," Mr. Gurría said. The award was presented by CIC's chair, Co-CEO of Research in Motion Jim Balsillie.
As a senior Mexican civil servant in the early 1980s, Mr. Gurría worked closely with leading multilateral bodies, including the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, to seek solutions to the Mexican debt crisis. Later, he participated in Mexico's negotiations on NAFTA and on accession to OECD, of which it has been a member since 1994. As Mexico's foreign minister and then finance minister between 1994 and 2000, he played a prominent role on the world stage, chairing OECD's 1999 Ministerial Council Meeting in which developing and emerging countries participated at Mexico's initiative for the first time.
Mr. Gurría is an active participant in various international not-for-profit bodies, including the Population Council, based in New York, and the Center for Global Development, an independent think tank based in Washington, and he is chair of the World Water Council's Task Force on Financing Water for All.
At OECD, as Secretary-General since June 2006, he has reinforced the Organisation's role as a forum for global dialogue and decision on economic policy issues while pursuing internal modernization and reform. Under his leadership, OECD has agreed to open membership talks with Chile, Estonia, Israel, Russia and Slovenia and to strengthen links with other major emerging economies, including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa.
In parallel, in response to a request from the G8, OECD has set up a platform for dialogue with Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa on innovation, freedom of investment, corporate social responsibility and development in Africa, and energy efficiency. It has also provided a base for a new international Partnership for Democratic Governance, under which donor countries will work with developing countries to assist in strengthening basic governance structures.
CIC was established earlier this year as a partnership between the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto with a mission to support studies tackling major foreign policy issues in such areas as energy, trade, and arms control. Its recently created Globalist of the Year Award is designed to honour and publicly acknowledge the work of an individual who has achieved an international profile and is representative of a global citizen working outside his or her national context to promote trans-nationalism, inclusiveness, and a global consciousness.


Did you know that earthquake waves are silent? Most seismic waves have a frequency of less than 20 Hz, which is below the range that humans can detect. What is actually heard during an earthquake is the rumbling of buildings and contents as the waves pass through solid matter.
Researchers can speed up seismograph recordings to bring them into the audible frequency range. Click below to listen to a ground motion recording from the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku earthquake, sped up 30 times.

Meeting – November 22, 2016 – Model Railroading – "The world's greatest hobby"
Come on down to the Fanwood Train Station to learn or to reinforce why model railroading is "the world's greatest hobby" at the November monthly meeting of the Historical Society of Scotch Plains & Fanwood. Jack de Rosset will be the "conductor" and Warren Michalewsky the "engineer" for our meeting. Jack is the owner of The Model Railroad Shop in nearby Piscataway. Warren is one of the shop employees. The Model Railroad Shop is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continuously operated model train specialty shop in the United States. It was established by Howell Day on January 2, 1933 and continues through today. In the early days of the shop (and the infancy of the railroading hobby), Howell produced his own line of kits under the names of H.Owen & shop-Craft. It was primarily a mail order business. The next successive owners (1948 Leonard Lippman, 1950 Fred, 1997 Jack de Rosset & Rick Dunbar) expanded the business to include prototypical operations, Die cast models and promotions, handmade models, resin cast models, plastic models, special orders and advanced reservations on "limited runs". Additionally, there is a broad selection of model fire and rescue vehicles to purchase.
Jack and Warren will explain what the railroading hobby does, what it does not do and its present status with the changes brought about by the computer. They can tell you the worth of collections and amaze the uninitiated with the various scale sizes of model trains, the types available by how made, etc. Various models will be demonstrated.
Since we are meeting at the Fanwood Train Station where the Central New Jersey (CNJ) tracks run, the history of this "Big Little Railroad" will also be covered. It was a short line running from Jersey City to White House Station but it carried a lot of immigrants from Ellis Island and contributed greatly to our NJ history.
The meeting is free and open to everyone. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the program. The meeting starts at 8:00PM on Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016. This meeting is being held specially at the Fanwood Train Station located on North and Martine Avenues. So come on down and hop aboard for the model trains through the years and a history of the CNJ tracks.

Meeting – September 27, 2016 – From Corsets to Calling Cards; Dress and Decorum in Victorian America
What was the most popular petticoat color in the 1860s? How does a lady sit on a chair in a hoop skirt? Which clothing color was highly poisonous to the wearer? Come to the opening monthly meeting of the Historical Society of Scotch Plains and Fanwood on Tuesday evening September 27th to learn the answers. Laurie MacDonnell-Gaulke, an actress/storyteller will explore the nuances of Victorian manners and changing fashions in a delightful romp through the Victorian era in America. Laurie creates historical portrayals of real women with real stories to tell. Using primary sources whenever possible, she strives to present each character in a historically, culturally and socially accurate manner.
Laurie has a Master's degree in cultural anthropology; her research skills and her talent as an actress and storyteller bring historical figures to life in an entertaining and educational way. Participation in WWI re-enacting and vintage dancing along with an avid interest in period etiquette and manners give her the knowledge to ensure that her portrayals are believable as well as entertaining.
Laurie's credits include performances at William Paterson University, Caldwell College, Military Through the Ages in Williamsburg, Virginia; local chapters of the NJ DAR, Belvidere Victorian Days, the Morris Museum, Fosterfields Living History Farm, statewide historical societies and Women's Clubs. During 1996-1997 she was artist in residence at The George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum in Springfield, MA.
Everyone is invited to attend this delightful meeting where you are whisked back in time to the Victorian era and participate in an "etiquette academy" run by Miss Charlotte. The meeting is free and open to everyone. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the program.
The meeting starts at 8:00PM on Tuesday, April 26, 2016. The meeting is held at the Scotch Hills Country Club located at Plainfield Avenue and Jerusalem Road in Scotch Plains.

Meeting – May 24, 2016 – The deserted village of Feltville
About 1736, Peter Willcocks built a sawmill along the Blue Brook to produce lumber needed by farmers as they settled this frontier area. Hundreds of acres of forest were cleared by this sawmill operation.
In 1845 David Felt bought 760 acres of land and built a printing factory along the brook. To support the mill operation, he built an entire town on the bluff above the brook. He named it Feltville. By 1850, 175 people were living here. In 1860, Felt retired. Other business ventures were tried but failed. The town became deserted for a short time.
Warren Ackerman bought the property in 1882. He converted the former mill town into a summer resort called Glenside Park. Eventually the Jersey Short displaced the popularity of this mountain resort. Glenside Park closed in 1916.
In 1921 the Union County Park System was formed and this area was incorporated into the Watchung Reservation. Today ten historic building still remain on the grounds. Some are still inhabited.
The Historical Society of Scotch Plains and Fanwood is thrilled to hold its monthly meeting at the Masker's Barn of the Deserted Village. Daniel Bernier, the resident caretaker of the Deserted Village since 1992, will tell us about the interesting history of Feltville. For 30 years, Dan has supervised the restoration of the Deserted Village in Feltville. He garnered 4 NJ historic preservation grants totaling $1.1 million that have helped the Board of Chosen Freeholders stabilize the 10 building in this historic mill town and summer resort. Its Church/General Store Building and an 1885 carriage house known as Masker's Barn have been restored.
Dan graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.A. in Anthropology. He did graduate work in Anthropology at New York University and earned a Certificate in Public Administration from Kean College. Since 1982, Dan has been employed by the County of Union in its Parks Department. For 3 years he was a Park Naturalist and Museum Curator at the Trailside Nature & Science Center. He then became the County's park planner.
Everyone is invited to this road trip meeting. The meeting starts at 7:00 PM on Tuesday May 24th. The GPS address is 13 Cataract Hollow Road, Berkeley Heights. Drive past the Road Closed signs and continue slowly about ½ mile to Masker's Barn at the end where there is parking. You can also try this link for a closer address to the site.
If you want to carpool or fallow in a caravan, be at the Scotch Plains Municipal Building parking lot by 6:45pm. Refreshments and fellowship follow the meeting.

Are any of you developers? I'm always interested to see what people are working on as far as side projects or "just for fun". I'm currently playing with a little project that uses the Air-BNB scheduler module to maybe create a booking site for some local activities around where I live if anyone's interesting in talking about it or contributing. It's a react front end with a node express backend. It's linked up, I just need to focus more on the front end now and clean up the CSS (alot). Few things left to be done but, for the most part it's a skeleton.
The code for the wot web client (https://writtenrealms.com/wot) is available here https://github.com/teebes/wotc/ and a vue.js version of it (slower, interestingly) is on a branch here https://github.com/teebes/wotc/tree/vue. It doesn't contain the code for the websocket - telnet proxy but that's a part of the Realms codebase so if you get access to that you'll be able to see how that works too.
Then I built the combat calculator (https://writtenrealms.com/wot/playground), and the code for that is available in yet another branch here https://github.com/teebes/wotc/tree/playground.
If you have anything sharable for your air-bnb scheduler, I'd love to take a look.
We've been pushing everything to a friend of mine's but, the lowcountryfishing project has the air bnb datepicker we used. Pretty cool! I just need to spend some time on CSS soon and get it up formed out (I've never actually edited the css to the air bnb date picker, so I'm wondering if I can blow up the calendar and make it like a home page banner or what all I can do to the CSS since it's like boot strappy/modular). I'm a full stack guy myself! I haven't coded a ton lately, have been serving more as a PM for my company but, if you ever have anything you want to work on let me know I'd be interested. I would still consider myself a junior as I graduated a coding bootcamp about a year and 5 months ago and got a job straight out of school. Tech has definitely been the coolest job I've had so far.
I really want to build a few more projects and fill out my github, haven't done a ton in there since school.

Executive shake-up
AMP Capital punts Asia Pacific boss
Michael RoddanSenior companies reporter
AMP Capital managing director for the Asia Pacific region Craig Keary has joined a long list of senior executives departing the business.
Mr Keary had been with AMP since 2012 when he began as the head of its retail business. He had overseen the Asia Pacific region since 2017, leading business lines across Japan, China and Australia and New Zealand.
Craig Keary is the latest of AMP Capital's executive departures. Jessica Hromas
The Tokyo-based Mr Keary's specialty in public markets was recently out of favour with AMP Capital's new focus on private markets, such as infrastructure.
On his personal LinkedIn profile, Mr Keary said Friday would be his last day with AMP Capital and that he would "take some time out" and focus on his PhD.
Mr Keary, who had more than 30 years of experience in financial markets businesses, was in charge of handling AMP Capital's relationship with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation's 15 per cent stake in the group. That stake was bought by AMP Capital in August for $460 million, making the role redundant.
Mr Keary's PhD research focuses on how the financial planning industry needs to adapt to changing customer needs and circumstances.
"Being based in Asia for the last three years, I have enjoyed the cross-cultural relationships that have been fostered," Mr Keary said. "I will hold onto these friendships for many years.
"I have a true belief that in asset management we hold immense responsibility in improving the wellbeing of our clients. This is something I will continue to be passionate about."
'Significant contribution'
An AMP Capital spokeswoman confirmed the departure.
"In his time with the business, including in his three years based in Japan, Craig has been instrumental in establishing cross-cultural relationships in the Asia Pacific region and has made a significant contribution to AMP Capital," AMP said. "We wish him well for his future endeavours."
AMP Capital has suffered an exodus of staff following revelations by The Australian Financial Review that it promoted Boe Pahari to the chief executive role despite settling a sexual harassment claim brought by a female subordinate. Shareholders subsequently sparked the resignation of former chairman David Murray and former AMP Capital chairman John Fraser, along with the demotion of Mr Pahari.
This week, former chief executive of industry superannuation fund David Atkin was named deputy CEO of AMP Capital. He starts the position, which is currently under AMP boss Francesco De Ferrari, on Monday.
In September, Mr De Ferrari warned employees of widespread redundancies in AMP's corporate division. Sources suggested job cuts of up to 20 per cent in certain divisions could follow.
Last month four senior employees in AMP Capital's property division resigned, including James Doneley, head of transactions, and Tom Sillar, senior transactions manager, to join rival outfit Lendlease.
Shortly after Mr Pahari replaced former AMP Capital boss Adam Tindall, the group's head of property, Carmel Hourigan, joined rival ASX property group Charter Hall. Global head of infrastructure debt Andrew Jones and interim chief financial officer Adrian Williams also left the business.
AMP Capital's New Zealand boss, Bevan Graham, and head of distribution, Greg McMaster, also quit the company, as did Kristen Le Mesurier, AMP Capital portfolio manager and ethical investment specialist, following the departures of Australian equities head Genevieve Murray, sustainable investment boss Emily Woodland and global chief investment officer of equities David Allen.
Also leaving the company is Howard Marks, AMP's director of investor relations since January 2008, who is set to depart after the group's annual results in February. Another is AMP Capital co-head of people and culture Lauren Crystal, who was promoted in July by Mr Pahari to replace Madeleine Mac Mahon who resigned that month after 12 years in the role.

A new sushi restaurant is bringing fresh fish and Asian fusion to East Liberty.
In the midst of holiday pandemonium, Mola held its first nights of service. The restaurant is named after the Ocean Sunfish, Mola mola, a magnificently cartoonish creature, fit with a bullet-shaped body and disproportional fins. Mola mola lives in both temperate and tropical seas, an omnivore mindset that mirrors Mola's exploratory menu.
Mola describes itself as "a blend of Asian flavors and taste." While the menu sports Asian classics, such as edamame, bao buns, and poke bowls, there are some outliers. Steamed PEI mussels appear with the small plates; steak, guacamole, and roasted jalapeño grace the list of hand rolls; and vegetarians are treated with ahimi, ahi without the tuna (a substitute made from tomato).
Inside, a similar aesthetic follows. The front is filled with low, glossy tables and over-cushioned chairs, furnishings fit for an ornamented hotel lobby. Two perplexingly rustic high-tops stick out in the back, topped with jagged wooden planks.
Even with only a week and half of service under their belt, Mola was fairly crowded for a Tuesday night. Two servers flitted between tables, reciting the features, hopping behind the bar, and playing host. I surveyed the menu carefully and decided on a few items to share: two handrolls (spicy salmon and yellowtail with a roasted jalapeño), a pork belly bao, and the Mola tuna poke.
Before the sushi arrived, I was warned that it would be "different." Mola features hand rolls that were meant to be picked up like a miniature, open-ended burrito. So, I threw chopsticks aside and dove in.
Out of the two rolls, spicy salmon was the best. The fish was not minced. Instead, it was a poke-style cut. Spice was scattered on top of the meat, rolled in nori with rice and a creamy sauce. The nori was the most surprising. It was thin and crispy, so frail it almost flaked off the roll.
My poke bowl was made up of tuna, seaweed salad, guacamole, and sesame seeds, served over rice. It was strikingly basic. No heavy-handed portions of toppings and sauces. The raw flavors intertwined to reach stunning harmony, simplicity allowing flavors to shine.
Fresh fish is one of the restaurant's specialties, flown in every two days from New York. The freshness was immediately clear. Nothing I tasted had any trace of a salty, oceanic taste or faded color. It was vibrant and remarkably delicious.
The pork belly bao was a spot-on triumph. Steamed bread, filled like a taco, maintained a thin skin outside a fluffy, melt-in-my-mouth bread. It was slightly sweet, balancing out with pickled cucumber. Crunchy peanuts dusted the top of the pork, the belly tender and juicy. It finished with a tang of cilantro.
Mola is bringing fresh, Asian flavors to a thriving landscape of restaurants in East Liberty.
1. Electronic soundtrack: Music sets the mood of any meal and Mola does not hold back. DJ-generated house beats fill the room. The bass thumps filled the otherwise quiet restaurant with a lively soundtrack.
2. Exposed lighting: In the dining room, strings of exposed lights hang from the ceiling. The effect was quite … cool. Did it fit with the rest of the decor? Not really. But it fit with Mola's vibe.
3. Pre-dinner bread: Continuing the mash-up of cuisines, servers deliver two small rolls of crusty bread to the table after ordering. It's a fascinating blend of culinary traditions, finding warm, French-inspired loaves at a sushi restaurant.
Mon.-Thu., 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-11p.m., Sun. 11 a.m.-9 p.m.


STRIKER Mark Danks has turned down an offer to stay at Worcester City with Black Country Rangers his likely destination.
The 34-year-old, revered by City fans for his free-scoring exploits in the Conference North, returned last summer in a bid to rediscover his Midas touch.
Danks quickly put behind him frustrating short spells at a handful of Midlands pit stops with eight goals and four man-of-the-match votes from the opposition in his first seven league appearances.
But the joy proved short lived as a lack of minutes following injury and a suspension for a straight red card at Shawbury United in October.
Having found starts difficult to come by after that fateful afternoon in Shropshire, Danks dual registered with Worcester Raiders in February in a bid to gain match fitness.
He played a bit-part role for City from there, finishing the campaign with 17 starts, 17 substitute appearances and 11 goals in all competitions.
Manager John Snape revealed he had still offered Danks a deal for next season on the back of his closed-season fitness regime but that the player had chosen to seek pastures new.
"Mark phoned to say he had decided his future lay away from the club and that he would be joining Black Country Rangers," said Snape.
"I had spoken to him over the summer and made him an offer, although the financial side was detrimental to him because of what we had to play with.
"When he came back in he scored goals and his approach play was fantastic but he suffered from a lack of minutes following his injury and that suspension a couple of months in.
While seeking a club to get game time with in February Danks said building a future off the pitch would be "the way I want to head eventually", something Snape reckons played a part in his choice to move down one level.
"I think Mark wants to progress his career in management and coaching and he may get an opportunity sooner on that front while adding something on the pitch over there," he added.
And while last season did not pan out in the way club or player had hoped, Snape refused to rule out another comeback for the City favourite.
"The door will never be shut for ex-players and characters like Danksy who know the game inside out," said Snape.

Home > GEOG 482 > Chapter 1: Data and Information > 4. Information Systems
4. Information Systems
Information systems are computer-based tools that help people transform data into information.
As you know, many of the problems and opportunities faced by government agencies, businesses, and other organizations are so complex and involve so many locations, that the organizations need assistance in creating useful and timely information. That's what information systems are for.
Allow me a fanciful example. Suppose that you've launched a new business that manufactures solar-powered lawn mowers. You're planning a direct mail campaign to bring this revolutionary new product to the attention of prospective buyers. But, since it's a small business, you can't afford to sponsor coast-to-coast television commercials or to send brochures by mail to more than 100 million U.S. households. Instead, you plan to target the most likely customers - those who are environmentally conscious, have higher than average family incomes, and who live in areas where there is enough water and sunshine to support lawns and solar power.
Fortunately, lots of data are available to help you define your mailing list. Household incomes are routinely reported to banks and other financial institutions when families apply for mortgages, loans, and credit cards. Personal tastes related to issues like the environment are reflected in behaviors such as magazine subscriptions and credit card purchases. Firms like Claritas amass such data and transform it into information by creating "lifestyle segments" - categories of households that have similar incomes and tastes. Your solar lawnmower company can purchase lifestyle segment information by 5-digit ZIP code, or even by ZIP+4 codes, which designate individual households.
It's astonishing how companies like Claritas can create valuable information from the millions upon millions of transactions that are recorded every day. Their products are made possible by the fact that the original data exist in digital form, and because the companies have developed information systems that enable them to transform the data into information that companies like yours value. The fact that lifestyle information products are often delivered by geographic areas, such as ZIP codes, speaks to the appeal of geographic information systems.
Try out the demo of what Claritas used to call the "You Are Where You Live" tool. The Nielson Company has acquired Claritas and the tool is now called "MyBestSegments." Point your browser to the My Best Segments [1] page. Click the button under "ZIP Code Look-up."
Enter your ZIP code then choose a segmentation system. Do the lifestyle segments, listed on the left, seem accurate for your community? If you don't live in the United States, try Penn State's Zip code, 16802.
Does the market segmentation match your expectations?

Majaliwa: We're confident of performance of Aga Khan Development Network
Saturday March 9 2019
Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa officiates at the inauguration of the expanded Phase II Aga Khan Hospital building in Dar es Salaam
By Mosenda Jacob @TheCitizenTZ jmosenda@tz.nationmedia.com
Dar es Salaam. The government is confident of the performance of over 100 years of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in economic, social and cultural arenas in Tanzania.
Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa has said that said today March 9, 2019 during the inauguration of the Sh192 billion (Phase II) expansion building of the Aga Khan Hospital-Dar es Salaam that the government would continue to work closely with the network to enhance improvement in all key sectors.
"This is the biggest healthcare facility expansion in our country," he said. "We are confident and sure that the cooperation would lead to the achievement of the universal health coverage for our people."
He told a delegation that included Princess Zahra Aga Khan that the government believed that its partnership with the private sector would improve the country's health sector and enable Tanzania to attain its industrialisation plan by 2025.
Princess Zahra, who is also a member of the board of directors of the AKDN, said hailed the government for its support, guidance and encouragement.
She said the Phase II plan began in 2012 as part of the hospital's evolution, when Aga Khan Health Services embarked on transforming the facility from a 74-bed hospital into a 170-bed tertiary care teaching hospital.
"The hospital now offers the facilities to successfully provide advance clinical programmes in cardiology, oncology, neuro sciences, critical care (including neo-natal critical care), and maternal and child health," she said.
She said for 90 years the institution had supported the government in addressing the needs of the people.

The launchpad shell bar is the uppermost section of the SAP Fiori launchpad. It is always automatically visible in order to give access to various functions of the launchpad.
With SAPUI5 version 1.40, the shell bar has been merged with the application bar. For more information, see merged header.
The launchpad shell bar is fully responsive.
On Size S, the branding area becomes part of the Me Area, and search and CoPilot are displayed behind the overflow menu icon.
If an application is launched, the launchpad shell bar changes its appearance. The app title merges into the shell bar, and a navigation menu dropdown is displayed. In addition, a Home button and a Back button are visible next to the profile image.
If a deep link to an application is called and there are no SAP Fiori entries in the browser history, no Back button should be displayed.
Clicking on the Me Area or Notifications toggle buttons opens the according areas with a smooth transition. It triggers the viewport to move to the right or left, and the main content area to zoom out. No page title is displayed.
Clicking the same toggle buttons again leads the user back to the SAP Fiori launchpad home page.
If no profile picture is set, a default icon is displayed.
When an app is launched, Back and Home are displayed next to the profile image.
Back navigates to the previously visited screens. Home directly leads the user to the home page.
If the user is editing an object in a non-draft application and tries to navigate away via Back or Home, a data loss message should be shown.
On Size S and Size M, the Home button is not displayed.
The branding area usually shows the company logo as defined by the administrator. The branding area cannot be skipped over.
The second title is an optional part of the launchpad shell bar. It should be used to declare specific system specifications, such as SAP Fiori Demo Cloud Edition, for example. It should not be used for welcome text or similar purposes.
The title inside the shell always indicates the user's position in the system. The navigation menu provides the user with a quick way to browse the hierarchical structure of applications.
For the home page, the title is Home, while the app finder contains the title App Finder.
The initial screen of an application usually displays the application name, such as Manage Products, for example. The title changes when the user navigates to a different page.
The application has to set the title based on the inner app navigation performed by registering to an inner-app navigation event.
Use the drilldown format '[Sub-Object] (1 of 10)' only when the user is able to navigate to the previous or next item via the Up and Down buttons on the UI.
In a split-screen layout (Size L and Size M), the application name is set as title. On Size S, the respective title of the master or detail area is shown.
Clicking/tapping the page title in the shell bar opens the navigation menu as a dropdown.
Clicking/tapping the page title again, or clicking/tapping outside of the navigation menu, closes it. A dropdown arrow also indicates the open/close possibility.
The height of the container depends on its content.
This interaction applies for all devices – desktop, tablet, and mobile.
After clicking the button in the shell bar, the CoPilot opens in a pop-up window. Users can drag it to their desired position. The system memorizes this position and will open it at the same spot next time.
To close the CoPilot, users need to simply click the Decline icon ( ) on the top right, or click the CoPilot button in the shell bar once more.
The enterprise Search icon is on the top right side, to the left of the CoPilot button. It searches across all apps and business objects, such as materials, customers, and maintenance plans. The search function can be called up from anywhere and from any screen within the SAP Fiori launchpad.
Due to a lack of real estate on mobile devices (size S), the branding area it not displayed. The Home icon is also omitted, as the user can directly jump back home via the navigation menu.
When the Me Area or Notifications are being displayed, the page title is omitted.
In Size S, the branding area is displayed in the Me Area, but not in Notifications.
Applications that support standalone mode can be run directly by specifying the SAPUI5 component of the application in the URL, without configuring a target mapping and catalog, and assigning the catalog to relevant users on an ABAP-based front-end server. You can also configure the header bar of a standalone application to hide some of the UI elements provided by the shell bar, or not to display the header bar at all.
Launch an app as an iView in the SAP Portal without the launchpad being visible to the end user.
Hence, some shell bar components might no be necessary in certain contexts. Find more information on the different standalone modes on the SAP Help Portal.
Clicking the Me Area opens a popover providing access to available services.

GAMING|Raft — First Impressions
"What? A gaming post from Minty…?" Yes~ Let's continue the All That is Broken series by Minty (A reminder: Every game I play gets broken somehow…). For the past week or so I've been playing Raft with my sister and my friend Danny. You can call us the Princess Sisters Squad: Ax Wielding Murder Princess (Me), Boss Princess (My sister), and Glitter/Sparkle Princess (Danny). Anyway, we were looking for a new game to play. Raft seemed pretty and interesting, so we bought it and gave it a shot.
The game is by Redbeet Interactive and Axolot Games. It was released March, 23, 2018. However, it is still an early access game. It's up on [Steam] for $19.99 at the moment.
Description (From Steam):
Raft throws you and your friends into an epic oceanic adventure! Alone or together, players battle to survive a perilous voyage across a vast sea! Gather debris, scavenge reefs and build your own floating home, but be wary of the man-eating sharks!
The game itself is a survival and crafting game. You can play it single player, online multi-player, or online co-op. Raft also has 4 game modes: Creative, Easy, Normal, and Hard. Creative mode has unlimited supplies and health as it allows you to focus more on building than survival. Easy mode is easier to maintain your hunger and thirst, and you won't lose your inventory when respawning. Normal mode is the average difficulty for the average player. Lastly, you have Hard mode. You can't respawn without the help of a friend. You basically start off on a 2×2 raft. You have a plastic hook on you that you must use to collect resources and materials. You can use it to collect any floating debris or scavenge reefs at any islands you come across. You then can build more tools, as well as expanding your raft and making it your home. However, you must be careful of the sharks that will not only attack you in the water, but they'll attack parts of your raft as well.
I will say that the game is beautiful done. The environment looks spectacular. I really love seeing how the environment changes from day to night, and from calm seas to raging storms. I actually do like taking in the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and starry night skies in this game.
Crafting is easy enough. You just hit the tab key to pull up your crafting options. Obviously you need materials for crafting. You can collect any floating debris, look for materials on any islands you pass by, or even dive and search the reefs. Note that there will be more floating debris during a storm. A tip: you can build collector nets around your raft. It'll collect anything that floats through for you. Super helpful during a storm. For our raft we basically had collecting nets all around the whole raft so we wouldn't miss anything we floated through. You can see we also went crazy and made some crazy ass (and hella extra) "ramps". They were the roofs that made hella extended. Why? Why not?~ Okay, so we did this to easily access the really tall islands. The Princess Sisters are not above cheating. We do all that we can to find little cheats haha. It was also fun to try to collect debris, fish, and enjoy the sunsets from there. I'll get to more on our raft in a bit.
Again, the pros of this game is that it's easy to play and super gorgeous. However, it does get kind of old after an hour or two. It's very limited in what you can explore, do, and craft. For my sister and I, we're the type of people who really like to build and decorate things. Heck, that's usually what we do in the Sims instead of playing God. However, there's not much you can really build to decorate the raft and make it home. You have basically two types of bedding, a table, chairs, a rug, and a few nick-knacks. You can make a paint brush and add some color. The only thing to keep it interesting at this stage is just how you decide to expand and improve the raft itself. However, that's it. It's understandable though, since this is an early access game. I just hope there are a variety of options in the full game. We did eventually get kind of bored. We're that group that's not overly serious and so we tend to mess around when playing games. So we opted to just kind of go crazy to make the game more interesting. I should note that we played both easy mode and crafting mode. Crafting mode does give you the ability to try to build your raft however you wish, with unlimited materials. However, it's boring after a while. The shark swims around, but won't interact with you or the raft. The water and weather are always calm, and there are no debris or islands to interact with. Easy mode was a simple way to enjoy the game without having to worry about losing all of our stuff. Another thing is that it is a bit hard to start off; Although it's slightly easier if you're playing with friends. All in all though, it's a wonderful game and I'm looking forward to the completely finished product.
BONUS: Shennanigans
You saw our crazy ramps right? Well, we also tried to make hella long docks. We wanted to see how far we could get. Remember the hella long ramps? Well, we tried to extend it as much as we could
It got to the point that we caused the game to lag hard. I got pretty far out that if I started during the day, I wouldn't get to the end until nightfall. I could barely see our raft from the top.
ALL THAT IS BROKEN MOMENTS
We had issues where someone would be stuck in the floor when trying to join the game. This only happened in creative mode. The most common issue we had was whenever we dropped stuff from our inventory. We basically had frozen stuff in midair. I broke it and made it a giant blob of boxes. I also had a barrel stuck on my hook… Sometimes I'd try to go into one of the storage boxes and the menu would be stuck open, leaving me unable to interact with anything else.
Have an awesome Sunday BAYOG fam~ Huhuhuuu~~ *ded*

My urban garden was featured in the House & Home magazine a few years ago as well as in as a video from House & Home online TV. With Spring just around the corner( I hope!), now is a good time to look back at be inspired by my blog "Creative Retreat" describing the story behind my European inspired courtyard. Scroll down to see the full blog.
Theresa Casey in the lower courtyard of her eclectic garden.
The May 2014 issue of House & Home features an inspired courtyard garden designed by Theresa and her husband, Robert. Not only is it beautiful, it serves a variety of functions - eating and entertaining, relaxing, gardening and creating art in the studio. To achieve this, four zones were planned: an upper terrace, a lower courtyard, a cozy sitting area and an artist's studio in the underused garage.
A rich layering of textures, such as stone, brick, wood, iron and lush planting beds create a visual and sensory oasis in the city, reminiscent of European courtyards nestled in small, hidden urban spaces.
If you are interested in more details about the story behind this urban retreat, check out the May 2014 issue of House & Home. Below you will find a few shots showing the construction of the garden and scenes from the magazine photo shoot.

Once a garage used for storage, the studio features exposed brick, salvaged antique French clay tiles and wood beams that create a sense of age and character.
The walls and tables are adorned with found objects and inspirational images from Theresa's eclectic collections.

The end result - a lush, romantic and inspirational courtyard that welcomes many different uses and acts as a "growing canvas" for the designer's ideas and creative experiments.
Pear Tree Farm Project wins inaugural IDC and ARIDO awards for Excellence in Design.
We are very pleased to announce that on September 18th, 2018, Casey Design|Planning Group was awarded the 2018 inaugural Value of Design Award of Excellence (VODA) for Residential Design by the Registered Interior Designers Association of Canada (IDC) for the "Pear Tree Farm" project in Milton, Ontario. The project is also the recipient of a 2018 ARIDO Award. Please scroll down below for photos and project description.
Our design for my client's beloved 1850's stone farm house in Milton was featured in the National Post Newspaper. Attached is the link to the article from March 31, 2018 (bit.ly/1850sStoneFarmhouse) and as well I thought I would share some before and after photos and an insider view of the concept and process.
This project is about the resurrection of an 1862 Regency Georgian stone farmhouse, a designated Heritage Building, and its adjoining structures destroyed by a massive fire in 2013.
The ruins of the property sat exposed to the elements for close to two years and became saturated with moisture and wood rot, requiring a complete rebuild and restoration. The farmhouse had been in the family for many generations and now it was a gothic ruin, like Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre. But, there was something about the place, a spirit of sorts that made the project much more than just a renovation.
The client, a classical pianist, wanted to retain as much of the original character of the farmhouse as possible, while needing formal living, dining and kitchen spaces, as well as a family room, a private master bedroom suite, multiple bedrooms with ensuites for children and guests, a library/office, a potting shed, a games and AV room and lastly, a large concert space for public gatherings to showcase her two grand pianos.
The challenge was to achieve a high-end result within a mid-range budget, given the limited payout from the insurance company.
Additionally, we needed to adhere to Heritage Department requirements, address long-term sustainability issues, provide maintenance solutions and consider the future saleability of the renovated property. Client specific requirements were to address acoustical conditions for concerts and heat control for instruments.
Our concept created a contemporary reinterpretation of vernacular historic farm homestead.
By introducing modern forms and materials to complement/contrast with existing heritage elements, we juxtaposed the old with the new, giving each their cultural and architectural precedence. The property originally featured 2 stand-alone stone buildings; the original 2 storey stone homestead (stone building above far right) housed living space on the main floor and bedrooms on the second floor and a smaller stone outbuilding, possibly the original stables (stone building above far left). Our concept (and finished result above showing connecting space stone buildings) was a new take on a traditional farmstead: to join the two existing stone buildings with a contemporary central section thus creating the experience of a rambling collection of farm buildings. The Historic stone juxtaposed the metal standing seam roofs of the 'allegorical' barn structure and further contrasted with contemporary Ipe wood slatted facade of the contemporary middle structure, reminiscent of aged barnboard walls.
Before the construction began, a local contractor who specialized in stone house restoration, worked to strengthen and repair the shell; once the heavily damaged plaster and lath was removed, the beauty of the old walls was fully revealed and we opted to keep them exposed. This provided a visual history of the farmhouse structure with "ghost" traces of original details. Lastly, the exposed stone walls provide acoustic value, textural and visual warmth. A new heating system introduced high velocity currents of air from the energy efficient geothermal system (sustainable).
A music concert space was located in the previously two storey farmhouse and the newly open, dramatic space also doubled as a formal salon/living room. The contemporary addition housed a large open concept kitchen, family room, library, games rooms and numerous bedrooms, while the stables became the master suite.
As a passionate gardener, one of my client's favourite rooms is the potting room. With traditional black-and-white checked floors and a big side counter for dividing perennials and potting up geraniums. The doors to the potting room are a pair of lacy old Victorian French doors that my client found at a local flea market.
Though it is modern and clean, the kitchen has its own sense of the past, with reclaimed timber ceiling beams, and in place of a central island I incorporated worktables found in an out building. The use of antique, one-of-a-kind furniture, mixed with contemporary elements is one of my favourite combinations because the warmth of the old plays off the clean lines of the new.
Handy drop spot and bar area flank large storage pantry and double door fridge.
Vintage inspired floor tiles add to the modern chic farmhouse vibe.
The kitchen office (above right) is a different kind of sanctuary as it overlooks a huge vegetable garden - a nice spot to ponder recipes for soup making or canning.
Below are images of the work in progress of the Farmhouse.
The burnt out shell of the farmhouse.
The original Italianate entry door and historically original frame with side lights and transom which we restored and reinstalled shown above post fire. Note the stairs that were removed to create the open concert/salon space.
Construction of the new linking contemporary addition.
In process: the restored stone walls on the right and the damaged walls still on the left to be worked on. Also, see the cut off 2nd floor joist, new metal struts and new vaulted ceiling clad in warm stained wood. The joists were re-used throughout the project including in the kitchen ceiling. In the final solution here we installed hidden perimeter lighting inside of reclaimed wood valances.
Old and New Architecture in Toronto, Leslieville & 6 Tips on Historic Renovation.
Leslieville, an east-end neighbourhood in Toronto is considered to be one of the city's most popular places to dine, drink, shop and live. However, 20 years ago you would not recognize the area because it was heavily industrial with a concentration of factories and warehouse buildings often housing my friends from art and design school. Today, with the changing to the residiential building zones those warehouse buildings have been renovated into beautiful loft apartments and shape the character of the main streets; Carlaw Ave., and Gerrard Street. The old architecture remains deeply connected with Leslieville's history and identity.
Like all historically significant buildings in Toronto, properties are protected against demolition or significant alteration of the facades as described in the Heritage Act. In this blog, we give a few tips on how to navigate renovation in historically significant buildings like those you find in Leslieville. This blog is a snap shot of our process in relation to historic buildings.
A collaborative, team approach ensures that both our vision and the client's vision come to life. Each project is spearheaded by Theresa Casey. We work to establish communication lines to work directly with our client's needs, including how these tie in with the requirements of historically significant buildings in Toronto.
2. Working together on one vision.
We work with clients on all phases of the project, including: budgeting, design, space planning, detail development, material selection,project management, furnishings and accessories and final implementation.
3. Don't be afraid to play.
There is a lot of opportunity to do playful things, while also keeping the integrity of historical spaces. This means being able to combine contemporary design that compliments historical architecture.
4. Preserve the street-view façade.
We work closely with the architect to ensure the street-view façade is maintained as they are protected by Code. Maintaining the character is paramount to maintaining the neighbourhood's identity.
Leslieville today has the Arts and Crafts Bungalow style housing as well as the Toronto Bay-and-Gable styles of the 1880s.
5. Budget the time needed to replicate era-appropriate details.
Custom-made details take time, especially those that need to adhere to era-appropriate styles. Casey Design is experienced in creating details that both compliment and replicate the era in which historical properties are built.
6. Old architecture needs love.
With historical buildings you never know what kind of problems from the past you could encounter – such as moisture problems, structural problems - anything is possible with old buildings. The first element of a historical renovation is giving the place a lot of love! We work with the architect to make sure existing buildings are restored (where needed) and fit for renovation.
Below are some historical photographs of the architecture in Leslieville, Toronto.

Sharing our highlights of January - August 2017! This year Casey Design Group has created some very exciting projects, that we would love to share with you in this blog!
This renovation "gut" in the Toronto neighbourhood of Riverdale was inspired by my client's art collection – taken mostly from the 1950 & 1960's British Expressionist Movement. The home is a classic Toronto Victorian featuring lovely bay windows and as you can see, art abounds! The key to the success of all my work is to address functional & spatial issues with a well thought out floor plan and layout. Many clients have heard me say that this is the most important part of a project. This involved the following: moving the location of the powder room, creating a master ensuite in a former sun-room, moving the too small 2nd floor laundry room to a guest ensuite and an entirely new third floor ensuite. As well, I designed new layouts for the kitchen and located a new large laundry room/storage room in the basement. Stylistically, I married mid-Century modern furniture with contemporary elements to make this a more than unique home filled with personality.
Partnership with Cosentino Group, Kohler Kitchen Fixtures and Benjamin Moore Paint.
My "dream kitchen" below has all the elements that I love in good design: functionality, connection to the outdoors, intimate and grand spaces, texture, beauty and drama. This image in particular received an astonishing 2,000 likes on the Benjamin Moore Instagram page!
"I think it is very important to have objects that surround you that have meaning and connect you to where you come from. This space blends vintage objects with the client's love for books, highlighting the need for hand-made and rustic mementos in a modern contemporary space".
For the third year in a row, I am honoured to be part of the Advisory Committee for the new Integrated Design program at the Haliburton School of Art and Design. I have spent many hours up in Haliburton taking Fine Art Courses so it was a natural fit and plus the inaugural Dean is "Uber Designer" Barr Gilmore - the much lauded and honoured Dean is known for his exhibition designs at TIFF- such as Fellini and Tim Burton as well as Graphic Design projects with Bruce Mau and clients such as Gagosian Galleries.
Canada's only museum dedicates exclusively to the pursuit of design excellence and preservation of design heritage.
I am on the Board of the Volunteer Committee at the Design Exchange and support the extraordinary design expo Edit currently on in Toronto until October 8th, 2017. The brainchild of maverick DX President and CEO Shauna Levy, has brought together world class thinkers to showcase "an edit of real-world problems". Located at a former 5-storey Unilever factory, it features exhibits and talks on key themes: Shelter, Nourish, Care and Educate. It is a brilliant show and I encourage everyone to go and see it.
Below are some sneak-peaks into projects that I am working on currently.
Midway through this renovation of a Historic Rosedale Home, this sketch shows an ultra-modern kitchen by Italian company Boffi in combintiation with period details such as 2 antique Edwardian light fixtures (originally exterior sconces that I am having retrofitted for pendants) and a custom designed marble mosaic floors. I am so excited to see this installation soon!

Flat front trousers have traditionally been made without turn-ups in accordance to the military/equestrian inspired fashion in the second half of the 19th century. A high rise, narrow lower legs and plain finished hems gave a slimming and elongating effect, indeed relevant also in our days.
Cuffed flat front trousers have been around since 1890, but not very common and predominantly for city use. For country trousers, plain finished hems were standard, mostly due to functional aspects: Turn-ups get filled up with Mother Nature's small debris when enjoying the countryside.
CorduroyCorduroy is a textile composed of twisted fibers that, when woven, lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern, a "cord." Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet. In Sweden known as "Manchester", twillA fabric woven in parallel diagonal ribs, by passing the weft thread alternatively over and under one or more warp threads. Tweed, gabardine, cheviot and denim, for example, are all twills. and moleskin trousers are traditionally more of a country garment, so a plain finish would be the natural choice. However not all gentlemen use their cords mainly for field purposes these days. When taking a walk in the city park, visiting the race track or just enjoying a pint of bitter (or lager, I might add reluctantly) at the local pub, turn-ups will not be in your way.
Bad idea. They don't look good on any pants, flat front or pleated. They are also completely unnecessary, unless you need that very special place to collect lint and debris.

AN OUTLINE OF FORENSIC TAPHONOMY
AN OUTLINE OF FORENSIC TAPHONOMY . Stephen P.

The field originally developed in paleontology to explain how and why extinct animals became fossilized and preserved in the geological record. More specifically defined, TAPHONOMY is the study of the processes that affect the decomposition, dispersal, erosion, burial, and re-exposure of organisms after, at, and even before death. Taphonomic processes cause sampling bias or differential preservation of some species, individuals, or body parts over others. Thus the remains under study should be viewed as fallout from the environment, which has filtered and altered the remains so that only a portion of the information originally available is now present.

1 AN OUTLINE OF FORENSIC TAPHONOMY . Stephen P. Nawrocki, , University of Indianapolis Archeology & Forensics Laboratory TAPHONOMY is derived from tafo' (= burial) and nomos' (= laws): the study of the laws of burial. The field originally developed in paleontology to explain how and why extinct animals became fossilized and preserved in the geological record. More specifically defined, TAPHONOMY is the study of the processes that affect the decomposition, dispersal, erosion, burial, and re-exposure of organisms after, at, and even before death. Taphonomic processes cause sampling bias or differential preservation of some species, individuals, or body parts over others. Thus the remains under study should be viewed as fallout from the environment, which has filtered and altered the remains so that only a portion of the information originally available is now present.
2 FORENSIC TAPHONOMY is a subfield of FORENSIC anthropology that examines how taphonomic forces have altered evidence that is the subject of a medicolegal investigation. Two branches of FORENSIC TAPHONOMY include biotaphonomy and geotaphonomy. BIOTAPHONOMY. Biotaphonomy examines the remains themselves and asks how decomposition and destruction (or a lack thereof) of the hard and soft tissues was brought about. Biotaphonomic variables can be subdivided for convenience into three broad categories (Nawrocki 1995): Environmental factors are external variables, such as climate (abiotic) and animals (biotic). Individual factors are those that the subjects bring to the decomposition process themselves, such as body size and age at death.
3 Cultural (or Behavioral) factors are variables that characterize human mortuary activities, such as embalming, autopsy procedures, and assailant-induced trauma. GEOTAPHONOMY. Geotaphonomy is the study of how someone who buries a body, and how the body itself, affects the surrounding geological and botanical environment. Phenomena of interest include: disturbance of the soil, including compaction, aeration, and mixing of layers;. the production tool- marks in the walls of the burial shaft ;. production of footprints in the bottom of the grave;. disruption (acceleration or retardation) of plant growth and natural, subsoil root patterns;. alteration of natural water drainage and erosion patterns;. alterations of the surrounding soil pH.
4 FORENSIC Anthropology -- page 1 of 3. INTERACTIONS. The sum of forces acting on human remains can be presented as a 3-way interaction between the environment, the individuals preparing the remains for burial, and the remains themselves. For example, the environment obviously affects how the remains decay, but the remains also affect the microenvironment of the grave by altering soil consistency, plant growth, and insect infestation. An assailant may significantly alter a body via dismemberment, but the decision to dismember is in part affected by the size and composition of the victim's body, which may also limit the assailant's ability to dispose of the remains and thus affect the location of the grave.
5 Finally, the assailant will significantly alter the environment by digging a grave, but the physical characteristics of the terrain and soil may direct the assailant's behavior in one direction or another. UTILITY. Using data assembled during the field recovery and the laboratory analysis of the remains, the anthropologist generates a taphonomic profile that describes the perimortem and postmortem history of the remains. This profile revolves conceptually around information related to the circumstances of death, a broad category including: perimortem injury and postmortem pseudotrauma ;. the time since death (postmortem interval);. assailant, victim, or general mortuary behaviors;. the location of death.
6 The original position of the body and any subsequent movement of the remains ;. clarification of forces that produced scattering of the remains (human activies or natural forces);. predictions of where additional remains may be located and where missing remains ended up.

Astronautics Symposium, 18-20 February 1957. Astronautics.
The Astronautics Symposium was held at San Diego, Calif., February 18 to 20, 1957, under sponsorship of the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and Convair Division of General Dynamics Corporation. Attending were 600 scientists and engineers from armed services, independent research organizations, universities, and industrial concerns.
At this first Astronautics Symposium General Bernard Schriever gave his famous speech "ICBM – A Step Toward Space Conquest" after which he was told by Secretary of Defense to never use the word "space" again.
This report is a transcript of the tape recording that was made during the Summary Session on Tuesday afternoon, February 19, 1957. In each case, the panel leaders have reviewed the transcripts for technical accuracy. Only those grammatical corrections have been made which are necessary in the transition from the spoken to the written word.


The generously scaled Catalina collection is sure to feel right at home, now and for years to come. Easy on the eyes and body with its deep seat, wide Charles of London arm, and tapered wooden leg.
