Shining a Light on Lung Cancer
"It's time to get rid of the stigma around lung cancer – it has no place here. No one deserves lung cancer. The statistics are frightening, and the level of funding is disgustingly low. But times are changing." – Mel McLaughlin, 7NEWS Sports Anchor.
Each hour an Australian family loses a loved one to lung cancer. This is all too real for Mel McLaughlin who tragically lost her big sister, Tara in 2015. It's a disease that takes the lives of more people than breast and ovarian cancers combined.
Yet, at the same time, more than a third (35%) of Australians believe those living with lung cancer only have themselves to blame. Stigma towards lung cancer is a barrier that blocks investment into research, treatment, and support. In fact, lung cancer receives little government investment for research into diagnosis and treatment options.
It's time to shine a light on lung cancer.
Lung Cancer is Under Invested
Every year, the Shine a Light on Lung Cancer community aims to raise funds to change the lung cancer space for the better – raising funds to support research that can offer breakthroughs, advocacy that can change outcomes, and support services that can offer hope.
Lung cancer has a devastating impact on the lives of thousands of Australians, with one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers. But there is hope. In recent years, advances in new treatments have seen an increase in the survival rate and quality of life for people impacted by the disease – research is providing hope that has never existed before.
Lung Foundation Australia provides seed funds for the best and brightest researchers to undertake research projects that support discoveries towards the prevention, management and cure of lung cancer. Scientific breakthroughs can take years to accomplish but every dollar makes a difference to the lives of people impacted by lung cancer.
For a full list of the current research programs, click here.
Navigating the health system as a person living with lung cancer can be stressful and confusing. There are many delays in treatment and support. In fact, 20% of people do not receive any treatment following their diagnosis.
Access to lung cancer clinical nurse specialists is inadequate despite the benefit they provide; people who have access to a lung cancer clinical nurse specialist are 34% more likely to receive treatment than those who do not.
Lung Foundation Australia's Information and Support Services offer guidance in navigating the lung health system. As part of the team, a Lung Cancer Support Nurse is available to offer the information and guidance people need, supporting those from metro to regional locations via phone. Now more than ever, more funding is needed to sustain and increase support services and access to lung cancer clinical nurse specialists, so that everyone has the chance to receive the same level of access to care and treatment.
For more information on our support services, click here.
Every Australian is entitled to the same public access to diagnostics, treatment and care – regardless of the disease they have or the cause of their cancer. The reality is, those living with lung cancer are battling for equality in funding for research, faster access to new treatments and clinical trials, and access to multi-disciplinary care teams (MDTs) and lung cancer clinical nurse specialists. Lung cancer has the lowest five-year survival rate of the five most commonly diagnosed cancers – and it's time for this to change.
This year, Lung Foundation Australia has advocated at all levels of government to:
Increase the number lung cancer nurses nationwide
Increase access to MDTs
Adopt a national lung cancer screening program
Increase investment into research, including clinical trials
In August, The Hon Greg Hunt MP announced an enquiry into a national lung cancer screening program. There is still a long way to go – and we need your help. Whether it is fundraising, a donation, or simply subscribing to our community to join the fight – the more people we have standing with us the more movement we can make at a government level.

This Italian Region Will Pay You $27K to Move There, Open a Business, Live Your Best Life
By Kat Thompson Published On 09/13/2019

If you watched the second season of Master of None and promptly dreamt of devouring homemade pasta and thriving in the Italian countryside, then dream no more. The president of Molise, a duel mountainside and coastal-hugging region east of Rome, wants to invite you to come live there. An added perk? He wants you to open up your own business, and will give you $27,000 to do it.
"If we had offered funding, it would have been yet another charity gesture," the President Donato Toma, said to in a report by the The Guardian. "We wanted to do more; we wanted people to invest here. They can open any sort of activity: a bread shop, a stationery shop, a restaurant, anything. It's a way to breathe life into our towns while also increasing the population."
The offer comes on the heels of a dwindling population in Italy, where young people have immigrated to other European nations in search of job opportunities, and where birthrates are at an all-time low. Molise, a region that covers over 1,700 square miles, has a little over 300,000 citizens -- and the numbers are decreasing. In fact, there wasn't a single recored birth in the region in all of 2018, according to the paper.
It's not the first time an Italian town has offered money in exchange for uprooting your life and moving there. Some villages have fewer than 2,000 people, which is where the desire to add new resources, businesses, and, you know, people comes in. "It's not just a matter of increasing the population. People also need infrastructure and a reason to stay, otherwise we'll end up back where we started in a few years," Toma said.
"We need to safeguard our roots," Antonio Tedeschi, the regional councilor who came up with the idea to fund newcomers, added to CNN Travel. Tedeschi adds that he wants the region he grew up in to "undergo a renaissance and avoid its authentic villages turning into ghost towns."
The Italian region is specifically looking to entice young people or couples with small children, in hopes of reversing the population decline, but they're open to anyone wanting a change of scenery who may find it in Molise. To qualify for the $27,000, applicants must choose to live in a town with fewer than 2,000 citizens and must vow to open some sort of business.
You never know; perhaps your pipe dream coffee shop can become a reality here, or you can give up your corporate gig to bake bread, drink wine, and open an art gallery. Whatever your fantasies of being a business-owner and your own boss may be, the application for the $27,000 grant is set to open on September 16. Don't let your Italian countryside dreams remain dreams.

The phenomenal Elizabeth Brown with her son Joseph (1). Elizabeth is also mama to Maybel Ann who would be 8 this year. When Elizabeth was 11 weeks pregnant with Maybel she learned that her intestines were floating outside her body. When she was 5 1/2 months along her doctor told her to go ahead and have an abortion because the baby would not survive. She didn't believe in abortion, knew her daughter was a fighter and chose to find a new doctor instead. Her daughter was born via emergency cesarean at 35 weeks and even though Elizabeth was torn she would never cry and would not live through the night, she cried as soon as she was born. Her first night was rough but by the next day she was on minimal support. By day 6 she had had two major surgeries. On day 21 Elizabeth was allowed to hold her daughter for the first time and three months after she was born she brought her daughter home. Maybel stopped breathing in her sleep after being home for 17 days, Elizabeth performed CPR, and Maybel was rushed to the ER where Elizabeth learned she had passed away. Maybel lived for 99 days and Elizabeth says her time with her was wonderful.
8 years later she got pregnant again after working with a geneticist to determine if Maybel's birth defects were genetic. She had a very healthy pregnancy but was monitored very closely, in part to help with her fears that something would go wrong. Her doctor was not supportive of a VBAC and after some time Elizabeth decided that it was best to deliver via repeat cesarean. She spoke of the joy at being able to hold her son right away and that continued joy in their relationship is so evident in the way the look at one another.

Q: Is the logic used inside servlets, itself the model, or the data they handle and pass to the jsp is the model? In the MVC architecture, the controller is what decides which user request is to handled by which component (which servlet, in the case of Java EE). Then, is the logic used inside the servlet (calling business methods or EJBs, etc) which is used to create the data that should be given to the view, called the model ?
In some books, its written that the servlet passes the model to the JSPs. In this sense, model is the data that is passed to the JSP. What's the correct meaning of 'model' in a typical Java EE architecture ?

A: The model is the way you structured the data beneath your server. So, the model is not the data passed to the JSP, but the data structure you passed to the jsp.
When explaining the MVC pattern this doubts always come out. Some people say that the DTO (data transfer object) is the model, the jsp is the view and the actions executed on server are the controllers, but I have heard at least a different explanation in the case of Java EE architecture, which i can't remember right now.
However, i like your (and completed by me) point of view better than other things that i've heard so far.

A: The model can concern both the "business model" and the "data model". The business model is also known as "business delegates", "domain objects", "service facades" or anything in this sense. In a well designed Java EE web application according the standards, it are the EJB classes which does not use JPA or any DB access logic directly but delegate further to other EJB classes which are pure DAO objects.
E.g.
@Stateless
public class ShoppingServiceLocal implements ShoppingService {

    @EJB
    private ProductDAO productDAO;

    @EJB
    private OrderDAO orderDAO;

    @Override
    public List<Product> searchProducts(String query) {
        return productDAO.find(query);
    }

    @Override
    public Order orderProduct(User user, Product product, int quantity) {
        product.setAvailable(product.getAvailable() - quantity);
        productDAO.update(product);
        Order order = new Order(user.getId(), product.getId(), quantity);
        orderDAO.create(order);
        return order;
    }

}

Note that, since this is an EJB, the ProductDAO#update() and OrderDAO#create() are done in a single transaction. So if creating the order throws an exception, the edited availability won't be persisted as well.
The "data model" are the Product, User and Order in the above example, which are supposed to be JPA @Entity javabeans. This is all what the servlet (the controller) and JSP (the view) knows about.

The JUGS MVP Combo Pitching Machine was designed specifically with machine pitch baseball and softball leagues in mind. It accurately pitches strikes at adjustable speeds ranging from 20 to 60 miles per hour. The built-in Digital Speed Readout makes it easy to set the pitch exact pitch speed you want.
Featuring a non-marking pneumatic tire, the JUGS Combo Pitching Machine is powered by an impressive 1/4 horsepower, 3 amp motor. It's super easy to set up, and because of its removable legs, it can easily fit into the trunk of practically any car.
The JUGS MVP Combo pitching machine can throw real leather baseballs, dimpled baseball, lite baseballs, real leather 12-inch softballs, 12-inch dimpled softballs and 12-inch lite softballs. More than just a machine for hitters, the MVP is great for fielding drills, too. It can be tilted upward to throw fly balls and pop-ups or downward to throw grounders.
Please Note: Pitching machine wheels degrade faster with real balls, the seams on real balls cause them not to pitch as accurately and the pressure exerted on real balls causes them to soften up, eventually to the point where their covers get ripped off by pitching machines. The seams on real balls also cause them to pitch inaccurately. Because of that, we recommend buying dimpled pitching machine balls, which last practically forever, pitch more accurately and are much more kind to pitching machine wheels.
Like all JUGS pitching machines, the JUGS MVP Combo pitching machine is backed by an industry leading 5-YEAR WARRANTY covering all parts (moving and non-moving) against normal wear and factory defects. It is powered by any standard 110 volt electrical outlet. For complete warranty information, please see our Shipping and Returns page.
Although a JUGS MVP Combo pitching machine can certainly throw real balls, real baseballs and softballs cause pitching machines wheels to degrade far more quickly, the seams cause the pitches to not be as accurate and the pressure of the pitching machines wheels will eventually rip the covers off of real balls.
JUGS Sports guarantees that JUGS MVP Combo Pitching Machines are well made; of good materials, and workmanship; and agrees that if, within five years after shipment thereof, any part so guaranteed should fail because of defective material or workmanship in its manufacture, the Company will repair or replace such part, free of charge F.O.B. to its factory in Tualatin, Oregon; provided, however, that upon request, the Buyer shall return the allegedly defective part to the Company s factory with transportation charges thereon prepaid.
Commercial use of any JUGS product automatically limits this warranty to 30 days after date of shipment. This warranty shall not be effective if the equipment has been subject to misuse, negligence or accident, nor if the equipment has been repaired or altered outside of our Tualatin factory in any respect which, in our judgment, affects its condition or operation.
No matter where you order a JUGS MVP Combo Pitching Machine from, NOBODY actually stocks them; they all ship directly from the manufacturer's warehouse located in Tualatin, Oregon. Therefore, the shipping time frame is exactly the same no matter what website you order from (we hope that it is this one!).
JUGS MVP Combo Pitching Machines typically take 2-4 business days to ship from the time you place your order. They ship via Federal Express (FedEx) Ground and could take anywhere from a day or two to a week to get to you AFTER being shipped, depending on your proximity to their warehouse. We will notify you of your tracking number the moment we receive it from the manufacturer's warehouse.

Q: How do I have two sets of page numbers in a document? I want to have two sets of page numbers (P and p) in my document. The first one (P)  is global, the second one (p) resets to 1 at some predefined points.
So, the document will look like,
Text
P1/5         p1/3
Text
P2/5         p2/3
Text
P3/5         p3/3
Text. In this page the page number (p, second one) is reset.
P4/5         p1/2
Text
P5/5         p2/2
To get the total page count a label in the last page or the lastpage package (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lastpage) can help me. And that is not the subject of this question.
The problem is with the second counter. I can use chappg (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/chappg) with noauto option. But I loose the global page counter P. Moreover, the (sub) total number of pages in that group has to be manually set.
I understand that if I write a set of macros with a new counter (my@local@page), reset it at my predefined points, label the last page in a group (label names will have to be distinct), perhaps I can achieve my goal. But that requires at least half a day. Which I do not have at this moment.
I was wondering if you can suggest something readily usable.

A: Here's a possible setup. I use fancyhdr for typesetting the two page numbers and also for stepping the secondary counter. The macro \resetpageaux does a \clearpage, sets a label and sets the secondary counter to zero. At the end of the document we set also the last label.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\twopagenumbers}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \fancyhf{}
  \fancyfoot[C]{\twopagenumbers}
}

\usepackage{atenddvi}
\usepackage[user]{zref}

\newcounter{pageaux}
\def\currentauxref{PAGEAUX1}
\newcommand{\twopagenumbers}{%

  P \thepage/\zpageref{LastPage} -- p \thepageaux/\ref{\currentauxref}%

AMW028 - Jolene 'The Valkyrie' Hexx vs. The Spoiler II: The Rematch
Incredibly popular Jolene 'The Valkyrie' Hexx (5'9 / 135 lbs.) steps on to the Absolute mats for this 100% competitive submission wrestling rematch against BJJ grappler The Spoiler (6'0 / 215 lbs.) and the winner is in doubt right up until the final buzzer.
These two crash into each other and go hard for the win right from the opening bell using high-level grappling techniques like rear-naked chokes, triangle chokes, reverse triangles, head-and-arm triangles and more. Plus, both competitors take full advantage of the fact that there is no referee to stop them from utilizing fish-hooks, hand-over-mouth smothers, hand-on-throat chokes and more. At one point, The Spoiler actually grinds his forearm into Jolene's jaw while taunting her with "You like that?"
This match even features one impossibly awesome (and painful) sequence that begins with Jolene countering a head-and-arm triangle attempt by The Spoiler with a crushing head-scissors before both fighters end up in a grinding double body-scissors that lasts more than six minutes! That sort of thing is ultra rare in a competitive match, but it happened in this one, and you have to see it to believe it.
So, does the ice queen from Las Vegas claim victory over her powerful masked opponent? Or does the big guy put the Krav Maga fighter in her place?


In recent years the widespread availability of wireless communications, mobile computing and handheld devices has led to the growth and significance of wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Security issues are paramount in such networks even more so than in wired networks. Though there have been many works in the recent years on secure routing protocols, the "Packet Drop Attack" amongst the nodes is not adequately addressed. In this paper, we analyze a class of secure routing protocols such as SAODV, ARAN and Security Aware Ad Hoc Routing to show how they are vulnerable to packet drop attacks. We also investigate another class of secure routing protocols such as CONFIDANT that cater to defend packet drop attacks but fail due to not having well-defined trust model. The detail study of packet drop events in these protocols leads us to propose a defense-in-depth strategy to secure mobile ad hoc networks through the integration of three layers -- prevention layer (based on cryptographic techniques), detection-reaction layer (based on monitoring technique) and enforcement layer (based on obligations).

Same Pattern Different Result as Skyforce Holds off Charge

One night after giving up a lead and getting nipped by a point, surrender was not an option. The Sioux Falls Skyforce responded in triplicate and topped the Canton Charge 103-100 at Canton Memorial Civic Center Saturday night.
Some similarities were hard to ignore from one night to the next. A big first quarter lead that grew steadily through the second quarter, then a second half comeback for the hosts were a part of both contests on this eastern swing.
One major difference that surfaced was Sioux Falls (15-15) and their success with the outside shot in the fourth quarter. Six went down from long range including four of them by Matt Williams, Jr. to hold the Charge (11-17) at bay. The Skyforce only posted two buckets from two-point rance in the final frame with the first by Alonzo Gee with 2:05 to go.
Another facet that delineated from the game one night earlier in Fort Wayne was since Sioux Falls scored the first seven points of the game Canton never laid claim to the lead. With 2:28 remaining, the lead was only a single tally at 96-95, but there was never a time in that crucial phase when the Charge had the ball with the chance to take the lead.
Gee topped the scoring chart for the visitors with 23 points on 7-8 shooting. Meanwhile Ike Nwamu & Williams each hit 5 bombs to finish with 19 and 17 points respectively. A.J. Hammons continued his strong play with 15 points and 13 rebounds and Larry Drew II had a double-double of 13 points and 10 assists.
Only two Charge players scored in double digits but both were monster efforts. Marcus Thornton posted 35 and John Holland netted 24 points.
Canton's next outing will arrive on Tuesday when they travel to Westchester. Sioux Falls will be on the road for another week as they trek to the Metroplex to meet the Texas Legends.

The AJ has gazed into its crystal ball to come up with some of likely contenders for next year's Stirling Prize. On these two pages are the projects we think could be in the running. . .
Sarah Wigglesworth says she will enter her best-known project, 9 Stock Orchard Street - or the Straw Bale House - next year if she can assure the RIBA judges it is 'finished' in their definition of the phrase. The office and residential scheme uses a range of technologies taken from outside normal construction techniques, not from the usual hi-tech industries but from domestic, vernacular and amateur traditions. Straw bales, recycled concrete and sandbags are among the materials used.
The venue for this year's Stirling Prize ceremony at the British Museum, by Foster and Partners, is another likely finalist for next year's honour. The £100 million project included roofing over the courtyard of the museum, adding new underground spaces and transforming Sydney Smirke's Reading Room into a public library. It entered the public consciousness, though, for neglecting to use Portland stone in the reconstruction of the south portico.
Alsop Architects plans to enter Colorium, an 18-storey multicoloured office block in Dusseldorf, for next year's Stirling Prize.The £11 million tower has three multicoloured facades and black and white asymmetric stripes on the fourth.Thanks to a large illuminated overhang which glows red at night, the building can be seen from about 7km away. Having already clinched the Stirling Prize for Peckham Library last year, Will Alsop's practice will be vying with Wilkinson Eyre to be the first architect to win the award twice.
Hudson Featherstone's four-/five-bedroom 285m 2timber and steel-frame house could also be a contender.The low-energy scheme is on a suburban site in Hertfordshire adjacent to other recently completed houses of similar sizes which once formed part of the Northaw Estate.The building is sculpted by a number of elements, including an inclined stair wall acting as a light scoop and a suspended water drop where rainwater collects and washing and bathing occur.
Wilkinson Eyre Architects, Stirling Prize winner in 2001 for Magna, could be in the running again with its well-received Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The £22 million project across the River Tyne, designed with engineer Gifford and Partners, is a structure which opens in an action similar to that of a blinking eye.
The Richard Rogers Partnership confirms that it will be entering Lloyd's Register of Shipping - a 14storey headquarters building in the City of London which includes a general committee room, chairman's conference room and a smoking room. It incorporates the 71 Fenchurch Street building built in 1901.
Wilkinson Eyre's bridge scheme might have another competitor for the Stirling on Tyneside.Ellis Williams'£22 million Baltic Flour Mills project is a visual-arts centre taking shape on the Gateshead side of the river. The practice's Dominic Williams says he intends to submit the project, which will be complete next May.
Foster and Partners is likely to figure again for the practice's headquarters building on the banks of the Thames for the Greater London Authority. The project, to be called 'City Hall', will house the offices of London mayor Ken Livingstone when completed next summer.
Bill Dunster's eco-project in Sutton is entering next time round and looks a likely candidate for the top award. Called the Beddington Zero Energy Development, it is a housing and mixeduse project which aims to highlight sustainable development.
The project will be a 'carbon neutral community'- that is, the first to add no carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
£55,000 - £65,000 p.a. + Bens.


Back in the heady pre Brexit days of 2018 I'd be writing this on an Android app called ColorNote, ready to upload to my Facebook page, completely unaware that electricity is, in fact, a luxury.
And as the Chinook swarm above and the last car alarm in the distance finally dies leaving a gaping auditory void, I look down upon my quill of rat faeces poised above my parchment of Daily Express, with a defiant and mocking Farage grinning back at me with those all knowing slits emblazoned upon its cover.
I hope the cockroach gruel queue isn't too long tomorrow, fair play to the government though before it collapsed like an 'Are You Being Served?' story line under the slightest bit of scrutiny, they said there would be adequate food and there is.
Most of the people round here are still unbelievably in denial, like my neighbour Geoff, an ardent Brexiter, still steadfast in his view that we'll somehow prevail.
He swapped his daughter last night for 50 grams of Amber Leaf rolling tobacco, 2 Jaffa Cakes, and a tinned Steak and Kidney Fray Bentos pie.
"I'll be eating like a king" he derided.
"Just as soon as Herr Barnier realises the error of his ways and turns our bloody gas back on.
He assured me his daughter was in good hands and that the transaction was only temporary, to strengthen like minded blood lines, not an actual sacrifice to the Tommy Robinson martyr like with his son last year.
In a way I'm envious of his pig headed reluctance to accept what's right in front of us. Ignorance really is bliss, more so now than ever.
I hope one day someone will get to read this snippet from a weary remoaner, but for now, as my soap candle pops and crackles its last, I must retire and bolt the doors before the death squads arrive.

Electronic Fences For Cats Are Safe
By News Staff | September 9th 2016 08:41 AM | Print | E-mail
A study by animal welfare specialists has provided new evidence that using electronic containment systems to restrict where pet cats venture does not result in long-term wellbeing problems.
The use of hand-held shock collars on dogs has previously led to concerns over the welfare of animals trained using so-called 'e-collars'. However, other forms of electronic training devices for pets have received relatively little attention from researchers. These include invisible or virtual fences which deliver a static electric pulse to deter animals from crossing a boundary, such as a garden perimeter.
A new study into these systems by animal welfare researchers at the University of Lincoln, UK, is the first of its kind. The researchers found no evidence of long-term welfare problems in cats living with these fences, compared to control cats able to roam freely in and out of their owners' gardens.
Professor Daniel Mills, Professor of Veterinary Behavioural Medicine in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Lincoln, explained: "While some will argue that electronic containment systems can never be justified for pets, others highlight that, in the UK alone, hundreds of thousands of cats are killed and injured on roads each year and these devices can prevent these often fatal injuries and the emotional cost to the cats and their owners. In contrast, housing cats solely indoors to remove such risks is associated with increased prevalence of a range of health problems including obesity, Feline Urologic Syndrome and dental disease. Long-term exposure to common flame retardants widely used in homes may also have toxic side effects for cats."
Unlike owner-operated hand-held electronic training devices, invisible fences depend purely on the cat's behaviour for any correction and not human judgement. Modern devices train the cats to associate a warning beep with the location of the invisible fence. As a consequence animals may be able to quickly and efficiently learn appropriate avoidance behaviours, without persistent anxiety or fear of a shock.
The scientists undertook a range of behaviour tests designed to assess the mood and anxiety of cats and found that, if anything, those contained with electronic boundary systems appeared more confident when it came to new experiences.
The research, which is published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE, was carried out by some of the same scientists whose previous work highlighted welfare concerns relating to the hand-held devices used with dogs.
Dr Naïma Kasbaoui led the research, which was funded by the charity Feline Friends. She said: "This work is an important first step in studying these electronic containment systems. All of the cats involved in our research were well cared for and those that were contained with the electronic fencing had at least 100 square metres of external space available.
"Further work is now needed to explore the effects on cats kept in smaller enclosures, but our results should help reassure many owners looking to keep their cats safe from roads using these containment systems."
Dr Jonathan Cooper, Principal Lecturer in the University of Lincoln's School of Life Sciences, added: "Electronic training of animals can be controversial and we know that it can lead to poor welfare when used without a good understanding of pet wellbeing and training. However this new study suggests that with invisible electronic fences, at least, cats can be effectively contained without compromising their quality of life."

Picking Up The Pieces From A Failed
Land Grab Project In Tanzania
Timothy A. WiseJune 30,2014
Tanzania's Minister for Land, Housing and Urban Settlements, Anna Tibaijuka
[Land Grab In Africa]
KISARAWE, Tanzania — I arrived in Tanzania, one of the frontlines in the battle over land grabs in Africa, just as another round of international negotiations on guidelines for "responsible agricultural investment" (RAI) wrapped up in Rome late last month. The policy document is intended to curb so-called "land grabs" in Africa and other developing countries.
Negotiations were not going well. The governments of developed countries were debating every point in the guidelines, which are slated for approval by the UN's Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in October. They were resisting many of the most basic principles to guarantee the right to food and land for farmers and herders who have seen their land and livelihoods given away to foreign companies and governments.
Those distant policy debates seemed urgent as I sat down with villagers from the Kisarawe area of Tanzania, southwest of Dar es Salaam, where 11 villages have given up 20,000 acres of land to the British-owned Sun Biofuels for a large-scale biofuel plantation. The biofuel project has failed, and now the villagers are staring at 5,000 acres of useless jatropha trees surrounded by guards hired to keep villagers off what used to be their land.
When the villages agreed to give up the land, they'd been promised compensation for it and, more importantly, more than 1,000 jobs, a variety of community development projects – roads, wells, schools, health clinics – and agricultural investment in local farms.
But those security positions were the only jobs the farm was providing. The local village councils and some farmers have gotten a little compensation for the land, but have nothing else to show for it.
"We offered the land so the community can benefit," said Ramazani Jetta, a small-scale farmer from Marumbo village.
Under Tanzanian law, the villagers' deal with Sun Biofuels had converted the title of the property from "village land" to "general land," putting it under the control of the Tanzanian national government. The government then leased it to Sun Biofuels to produce vegetable oil for the production of biodiesel, to meet the growing demand for renewable fuels in Europe.
But the failure of Sun Biofuels' project does not mean the land will be returned to the villages. Instead, it will stay with the leaseholder while the company and the government look for a new investor to sublease the land and develop it.
As long as the company pays the paltry rent on the land and puts it to productive use, it is lost to these regretful villagers. For the full 99 years of this lease.
For a community desperate for agricultural investment, and the jobs and higher incomes that investment could bring, this is the worst of possible outcomes. These are poor rural communities that gave up their land because they need jobs, schools, clinics, roads, and higher agricultural productivity from their small farms — none of which they will now see.
I was far from the negotiations in Rome, but this was a textbook case of irresponsible agricultural investment — precisely the kinds of practices the RAI is intended to curb.
The agricultural price spikes of 2007-2008 fueled a surge in large-scale land acquisitions, particularly in Africa. An estimated 100 million acres of African land have been sold or leased to foreigners in the wake of the food price spikes, according to the Land Matrix Initiative.
China got a lot of the initial blame for exploiting the opportunity and buying up land, but the main buyers were US and British companies like Sun Biofuels.
The charge of "land-grabbing" seems apt. The deals typically involved 99-year leases for small sums of money on land that was not "unoccupied," as the local governments had suggested. Thousands of farmers and herders, most with no formal land title and no legal basis to defend their rights, were dispossessed overnight.
This is the very problem the UN's Committee on World Food Security is trying to address with these guidelines on responsible agricultural investment.In Kisarawe, Tanzania, these problems have been all too real.
I'd read about the case, which has been well documented by the Oakland Institute and other international researchers and campaigners, before arriving, but it was worse than I realized.

Blotched Fantail Ray: Taeniurops meyeni
Family: Dasyatidae
Blotched Fantail Ray, Blotched Stingray, Blotched/Marbled Ribbontail Ray.
A very large stingray with a sub-circular disc that is very slightly wider than long. Snout short, and obtusely angular/broadly rounded, with a small, protruding apical lobe at tip. Anterior margins of disc convex. Pectoral fin apices broadly rounded. Pelvic fins very short.
Eyes small. Snout length approximately 2x combined eye and spiracle length. Mouth wide with 7 short oral papillae. Lower jaw convex. Labial furrows weak. Skirt-shaped nasal curtain short, wide, short fringe on posterior margin. Nostrils large and oval.
Disc covered in small granular denticles. Thornlets present in small patches on each shoulder and in a thin band along midline. Tail wide-based and short; slightly longer than disc width. Tail tapers to caudal sting then thin to tip. Ventral finfold extends to tip of tail; finfold height 2-3 x tail height posterior to caudal sting. Dorsal finfold absent. One caudal sting usually present.
Dorsum grey with varying amounts of dark grey and black blotches and mottling. Ventrum pale with a wide, dusky or mottled margin. Tail beyond caudal sting black. Ventral finfold dark.
Maximum disc width 180cm. Disc width at birth 30-35cm.
Tropical seas and warm-temperate seas. On sandy substrates, reef rubble, rocky reefs, and in caves. Usually found inshore but maximum recorded depth 400m.
Widespread in the Indo-Pacific. South Africa and Madagascar northward along east Africa, Red Sea, Arabian Gulf, India, and throughout southeast Asia from southern Japan to northern Australia.
There are also many observations at offshore islands and seamounts in the eastern Pacific but the EP population is now thought to be an as yet undescribed species (Peter Last personal correspondence).
There is little specific information on threats and catches in fisheries throughout much of the Blotched Fantail Ray's range, but given the intense and unregulated fishing pressure known to exist on large batoid species across much of its range, particularly in Southeast Asia, the particular sensitivity of this species to various fishing methods, its limiting life history characteristics, and the general declining health of coral reef ecosystems (its main habitat) throughout its Indo-West Pacific distribution, the species is inferred to have undergone a decline in population size of at least 30% over the past three generations (65 years), and is therefore assessed globally as Vulnerable (VU A2d).
In Australia, this species is considered Least Concern due to protection afforded in marine parks and the effective use of turtle exclusion devices in northern Australian prawn trawl fisheries, which should limit the catch of the species there. Similarly, it is assessed as Least Concern in the Maldives where it has a high ecotourism value and is thus afforded protection through the prohibition of the export of rays and ray products.
Kyne, P.M. & White, W.T. 2015. Taeniurops meyeni. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2015: e.T60162A68646736. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2015-4.RLTS.T60162A68646736.en. Downloaded on 25 February 2021.
Matrotrophic viviparity. Litter size up to 7 pups.
The blotched stingray feeds on small benthic fishes and invertebrates.
Sedentary. Often rests under ledges and in caves during the day.
Quite easy to approach but will retreat if harassed.
The Blotched Stingray is a common ray throughout its range. I have encountered this species in Africa, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, The Philippines, and (possibly a different closely related species) in French Polynesia, Cocos, Malpelo, and the Galapagos Islands. Assuming it is the species, blotched fantail rays are extremely abundant at Cocos Island off the coast of Costa Rica, where many can be seen on a single dive.

The Most Reverend John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark, today announced to a gathering of local journalists and Archdiocesan employees and guests in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart that His Holiness, Pope Francis, has accepted his request for retirement under Canon 401 §1 of Canon law, and has named His Eminence, Cardinal-elect Joseph W. Tobin as the Sixth Archbishop of Newark.
Prior to this announcement, Cardinal-elect Tobin had been the Sixth Archbishop of Indianapolis. On October 9, The Holy Father named him to the College of Cardinals.
In making this announcement, Archbishop Myers stated: "Today it is my honor and pleasure to present to you His Eminence, Cardinal-elect Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R.
Archbishop Myers then stated that he has known and worked with the Cardinal-elect on a number of occasions over the years both within the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and through the Congregation for Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life in Rome, where His Eminence had served as Archbishop Secretary from 2010 until his appointment as Archbishop of Indianapolis in 2012.
Although he stated that he had no immediate vision for the future of the Archdiocese, Cardinal-elect Tobin shared that there were three principals that will guide his ministry as he discerns with the people of this local Church of Newark the way forward. "The criterion by which I can to be judged is whether, by word and actions, I led people to a deeper love for Jesus, who is the merciful face of God. My first conviction is that I am called to watch over the unity of this Archdiocese and to encourage in charity the journal of all toward an ever-greater knowledge, faith and love of Christ.
He concluded his remarks with a reference to the American Catholic novelist, Walker Percy, who wrote: "Never has there been a more fertile harvest for the seed and the harvest the Lord spoke of. All that is needed is a bearer of the Good News who speaks of it with such authenticity that it can penetrate the most exhausted hearing, revise the most jaded language.
A Mass of Installation for the new Archbishop is expected to take place on Friday, January 6, 2017 at 2:30 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Newark.

Historical Tours in Manitoba: History and Walking Tour of Tuxedo
A Small History: 1902 - 1931
The land now occupied by the Town of Tuxedo was originally part of the Hudson's Bay Company territory which was granted by the Company in June 1811 to Lord Selkirk for settling his people. It was known as "Assiniboia" and in 1857 the land was surveyed and divided into a series of narrow farm lots which extended for a distance of two miles north and south from the Assiniboine River. (See Map 1) In 1870 the Province of Manitoba was formed after which, in 1877, the lot depth was extended to four miles.
The first municipal division under the Provincial Act in 1880 divided the Province into 31 rural municipalities. One of these was the Rural Municipality of Assiniboia, which contained the old parish administrative areas of Headingly, St. Charles, St. James and St. Boniface. [1] The parishes of St. Charles and St. Boniface extended south from the Assiniboine River. (See Map 2) The Agricultural College property was purchased in 1903 by the Province, and lay in the Parish of St. Charles next to the Parish of St. Boniface. Later it was judged to be too small to allow expansion, and was relocated to Fort Garry in 1911-1913, the land becoming the site of a military hospital in 1914 and in 1918, of Fort Osborne Barracks. [2] For a brief period, from 1914 to 1917, the grounds were used by the Manitoba School for the Deaf which found a permanent home on the proposed University site in 1921.
The College property was not planned as part of the Town of Tuxedo. Similarly, 320 acres of farmland were purchased by the City of Winnipeg from the owners for Assiniboine Park and were also outside the plans for the development of Tuxedo. [3]
In 1918 the ownership of 13.5 acres of land along the river was transferred by the Town to the City to provide a "continuous permanent parkway" between the Park and the City. [4]
The Developers
It would be impossible to describe the origins of Old Tuxedo apart from the career of Frederick William Heubach. He had been born in Ottawa, Ontario in 1859, arriving in Winnipeg in 1879 as private secretary to C. J. Brydges who had joined the Hudson's Bay Company as its Land Commissioner. [5] When Brydges died in 1889, Heubach stayed with the Company as Accountant until 1893 when he accepted an appointment as Manager of the Winnipeg Industrial Development Exhibition Association. Meanwhile, he married Jennie Taylor of Winnipeg in 1882 and their children were Claude Campbell and Dorothy Claire. Claude would marry Hazel Allan of Montreal, and Claire would marry Raymond Carey later to be directly involved in the development of Tuxedo. [6]
F. W. Heubach continued as Manager of the Industrial Exhibition, but in 1902 he joined forces with W. J. Christie, an established real estate broker under the style "Christie and Heubach." This small firm employed David R. Finkelstein as clerk. [7] Then Heubach struck off on his own, becoming incorporated in 1905 under his own name. He had built his home at 197 Roslyn Road and had established his business office in the Union Bank Building where he dealt in "Real Estate Loans, Fire Insurance, Rentals and Investments." [8]
In May of 1905, he incorporated the Tuxedo Park Company Limited with a subscribed capital of $800,000. Some idea of the extent of his associations may be gathered from the names and occupations of the major investors: E. C. Kenaston of Hopkins, Minnesota, president of the American-Abel Engine and Thresher Company, Minneapolis and Toronto; E. C. Warner of Minneapolis, Minn., president of the Midland Linseed Oil Company, G. F. Piper of Messrs. Piper and Co., Wholesale Grain Merchants of Minneapolis, Minn.; Walter D. Douglas, president of the American Cereal Co., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. These men appointed Heubach to be Managing Director of the firm. Kenaston was named President; Warner, Vice-President; with Piper and Douglas as Directors. [9]
In 1905-1906 the Tuxedo Park Company Ltd. acquired 3,000 acres of farmland from Mary Wright, Archibald F. Wright, and other owners for $540,000. Archibald F. Wright had been in Winnipeg since 1869 and had built his home at 694 Godfrey Avenue, now Academy Road. He established the first harness shop in Winnipeg, which became the Winnipeg Saddlery Company. He was on the first School Board and a member of the first City Council of 1874. His wife, Mary, was the first owner of the land and lived in the Academy Road home until 1939. She had owned the property bought by the Province for the Agricultural College. Their son, Robert, built his home at 1 Frank Street in 1907 and later was Superintendent of Works for the Town of Tuxedo for more than 43 years. Both the Wright houses are in use today. Their lots all fronted on the Assiniboine River and extended southward for four miles to Macdonald Road (McGillivray Boulevard). They were numbered from 60 to 63 in St. Boniface Parish, or west of Renfrew Street in River Heights, and adjoined Lots 1 to 39 of the Parish of St. Charles which bounded on the Parish of Headingly to the west. [10,11] The land title records reveal that between 1903 and 1905, the Tuxedo Park Company (i.e. F. W. Heubach) purchased the lots directly from the owners, thus assembling the 3,000 acres on which were first applied the plans for development. [12]
Heubach and the Tuxedo Park Company then contracted with Rickson A. Outhet, landscape architect of Montreal, to plan the development of "Tuxedo Park". Outhet submitted a detailed plan of streets and building lots in 1905 which covered the St. Boniface and St. Charles lots as far west as Assiniboine Park (i.e. to Park Boulevard) excluding the land for the Agricultural College. This was the plan for Heubach's original "Old Tuxedo" scheme. [13] It was never fully implemented because Crescentwood, among other areas much nearer to the City centre, attracted new home-builders who might have invested in Heubach's Tuxedo properties. The American backers lost their investment. The circular street elements (e.g., Carpathia and Fulham) at the north end and the long streets, Renfrew, Lanark, Beaverbrook and Centennial to use their modern names, remain quite visible on the ground. (See Map 3)
It happened that at this time the University of Manitoba was outgrowing its site on Broadway Avenue near the centre of the city and was seeking an alternative location. In June of 1907, Heubach had offered 150 acres of his Tuxedo land to the University Council as a new site. This was to have been an educational feature of Tuxedo Park and its location is indicated on Outhet's plan, perhaps because Heubach had written this feature into Outhet's commission. [14] The offer was to be the centre of many protracted negotiations several .years later but was shelved until after the First World War.
Then in 1910 Heubach formed a newSouth Winnipeg Company, absorbing much of his Tuxedo Park Company and increasing the holdings to about 11,000 acres in total. the new Directors were F. T. Griffin, F. W. Heubach, Maj. Gen. Sir Robert Lane, Stewart Ponsonby and J. Stewart Tupper of Winnipeg, with new British capital of £300,000 about $1,450,000. [15] For reasons which are not apparent, Heubach also changed landscape architects, commissioning the renowned firm of Olmsted Bros. of Brookline, Mass., to plan the subdivisions, streets, neighbourhoods and parks of Tuxedo lying west of the Agricultural College, including details of a new University site. (See Map 4) [16] Claude Heubach had joined his father in 1907 bringing with him his experience as a clerk in the Dominion Bank, then with an insurance company and several years with the real estate firm of Osler, Hammond and Nanton. They were strengthened when David R. Finkelstein joined them in 1911. Finkelstein brought an accounting and administrative background. The firm became Heubach, Finkelstein and Heubach, originators and investors in the Tuxedo Park Company. [17] They opened an office at the corner of Roblin Boulevard and Van Horne (Tuxedo Blvd.) to sell building lots. Claude Heubach and David Finkelstein appear to have been the staff, and by 1911 Heubach's overall planning for Tuxedo was complete. The inference is clear that his companies at no time were lacking expert guidance for the full development of their Tuxedo property because they had both the Outhet and Olmsted plans before them. With the relocation, however, of the Agricultural College to Fort Garry in 1913 and its subsequent combination with the University in 1926, the new site for the University officially became Fort Garry mainly on economic grounds, and so this desirable feature was lost to Tuxedo. [18] The result was unfortunate, because Tuxedo would not then develop as an academic centre, and its attraction to home owners was diminished. [19] Nevertheless, planning assumed right up to 1926 that the University would be located according to the Olmsted Brothers plans.
In 1913, the Tuxedo Park Company incorporated the Town of Tuxedo and F. W. Heubach became its first Mayor, an office which was empowered in the By-Laws with all the executive powers of the corporation. Councillors were F. T. Griffin, A. E. Hoskin, A. E. Choate, and G. H. Kelly. When F. W. Heubach died in June 1914, Finkelstein succeeded him in December as Mayor and save one year (1926) when E. A. Nanton held that office, was the driving force in the Company until 1951, a period which included two World Wars with an economic depression in between. [20] It appears Finkelstein was his junior contemporary and utterly loyal to him and to his development plans. Some idea of his character can be found in James H. Gray's The Roar of the Twenties p. 298: "Here was a citizen whose business was finance, who had been smart enough to survive the real estate collapse of 1913 and who was still in business as a subdivision developer. Indeed, he was the only important real estate developer still active in 1923." Claude Heubach remained the Secretary-Treasurer of the Company until 1939 when he moved with his family to Montreal.
The Olmsted Plan 3704 of 1910 of Tuxedo became the Winnipeg City Plan 1714 of 1911. This plan has been faithfully followed through the years with only minor changes. Both the Outhet and Olmsted plans located similar University sites, but Olmsted's Plan 3911 revealed internal details which became of great interest to the University Council and the affiliated Colleges. (See Map 5)
The southern limit of the Olmsted plan lay at the 'Two Mile Road" (Wilkes Ave.) and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway tracks, but south of that lay the bulk of the land the South Winnipeg Company controlled. [21]
The Company planned to develop an area devoted to industry, the first of which was the Canada Cement Company already built, with a nearby village for staff. (See Map 6) Heubach had commissioned the Olmsted Brothers to plan for such a development and it embodied the vital elements of F. L. Olmsted's town planning philosophy, the proper juxtaposition of the workplace, the home and recreation areas. This was named the "Oak Point Junction" plan, so called because the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pacific . Railroads came together at Oak Point Junction, the northeast corner of the property. The City did not encourage the Company to develop it further, perhaps because the extensive industrial area lay outside its taxing area. The plan has yet to be fully implemented. (Also shown in Map 6)
A second strictly residential development planned by the Heubach group was known as "Rydal", which lay west of the University site. This area formed part of what is now known as Charleswood and extended the west boundary of the Company's land to Lot 31 in St. Charles. Some details of its planning appear on the Hathaway Map of 1911. (See Map 7)
To understand the subtle charm of Tuxedo, an appreciation of the landscape architects in necessary. They are not merely gardeners or park designers, as a study of Frederick Law Olmsted's career shows. An American, Olmsted had become internationally famous as a landscape architect, a profession he pioneered in North America. His apprenticeship ranged from practical but unsuccessful farming, intensive involvement with the Civil War as chief of the Sanitary Commission devoted to the welfare and rehabilitation of the troops (later to become the American Red Cross) and mine management in California, to establishing the first U. S. National Park at Yosemite. In his extensive travels hehad become greatly impressed when he observed how English and European public gardens and parks were enjoyed by ordinary people from all walks of life, especially in the Birkenhead Park near Liverpool. From that first and many other subsequent observations, Olmsted developed a philosophy that recognized the need for ordinary people to have a balance between their dines at home, at their industrial workplaces, and at their recreation which should be, whenever possible, in a rural setting. Hence, a proper town should be planned to provide all three elements within easy distances of the townsfolk. Heubach's Industrial Village was intended to be an example of this philosophy. It is interesting that F. L. Olmsted had no regular employment until he was 42, but his experiences had sensitized him to realize the European "City Beautiful" movement was a reaction to the intrusion of industry into settled residential areas of long standing. People and forests were simply displaced by factories, and their reaction through their governments was to tame and control industrial expansion through zoning. The development of public parks for human recreation was part of this movement, as amply demonstrated in the famous example of New York's public Central Park created by Olmsted and Calvert Vaux from "waste land" not required by industry and commerce.
Olmsted approached the problem of town planning as a humanitarian and horticulturalist, and his parks were conceived as necessary parts of the larger community. Montreal's park on Mount Royal was F. L. Olmsted's work, and there he was assisted by one of his two sons and Frederick G. Todd, a Montreal landscape architect. In 1904 Todd was commissioned by the City of Winnipeg to build Assiniboine Park, and shortly after, in 1905, F. W. Heubach commissioned Rickson Outhet to plan Tuxedo. These were sound choices, because both Outhet and Todd were landscape architects in the Olmsted tradition who had worked together on Montreal projects. [22]
Because of the common origins of planning Tuxedo and Assiniboine Park, the Town, the proposed University and the Park may be thought of as one.
F. L. Olmsted died in 1903 but his work was continued by his two sons, the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Mass. (See Appendix A) Their concept of the "Suburb Beautiful" can be seen in the street plan, subdivisions and building restrictions which governed construction in Tuxedo from its first appearance in 1915. Homes were to be spacious, set in appropriate gardens and serviced entirely from a 20-foot rear lane. Lot sizes were uniformly 50 feet by 130 feet set back 50 feet from the town property line. One house only per lot was permitted, to cost a minimum of $10,000. No house could occupy more than 40% of its lot, but there was no restriction on style or number of rooms. Heights were restricted to 60 feet, all factors which challenged owners, builders and architects. [23] These limitations were perpetuated in Bylaw 1800 of Metro Winnipeg in 1971, and have worked to maintain the character of Tuxedo properties. [24]
The Olmsted Brothers plan for Tuxedo included a park which was to be the most ornate design in the country. It was named "Olmsted Park" later changed to "Heubach Park" in memory of F. W. Heubach. It was designed to have "drives, bridal paths, hurdles, a wading pool for children, sand court for youngsters, pergolas, flower beds, ornamental shrubbery and shade trees." It would be "some 3,000 feet long and 400 feet wide." The park was constructed and extends southward from Cuthbertson across Grant Avenue on a southern extension of Park Boulevard, but is not yet fully developed. It does, however, provide an attractive open space for the surrounding homes. [25]
Pressure for Winnipeg to expand into its suburbs had greatly diminished at the very time Heubach was ready to accommodate home builders in his "Suburb Beautiful" but he, unfortunately, died in 1914 before any buildings in the subdivision appeared. Nevertheless, the investors continued to support the development of Tuxedo and to take active positions on the Board to protect their interests. [26] This was the Board which elected Finkelstein as Mayor to succeed Heubach. With the advent of the First World War, there was little building being done and literally no tax revenue to set against the operating costs of the town. Extended bank loans and shareholder forbearance bought the vital time necessary for continued development.
The first house was designed and built in 1915 by Raymond M. E. Carey. This young British-trained architect had arrived in Winnipeg in 1909, practiced briefly with John Woodman and met the Heubach family then living on Roslyn Road, where he met his future wife. He had practiced architecture in Detroit and had built some outstanding Georgian homes there. He brought this talent with him to Winnipeg, and built the first home in Tuxedo for his wife and himself at the north corner of Piper (Nanton) and Park Boulevard. [27] This was the first of all the houses to come, and stood facing Assiniboine Park with a mud road leading back through the poplar bush to the front gate of Fort Osborne Barracks. Carey had to pay a price for his pioneering in Tuxedo, as the Town Minutes of 27 April 1918 show. After waiting for two years, he was technically responsible for having a power line erected from the front of the Barracks along Piper Boulevard for his sole use. He needed a sewage pump, light bulbs on the power poles, road improvements of Park Boulevard and Piper, and some help in keeping cows from neighbouring farms from wandering through his property. The next winter, he was isolated by the snow, and needed Piper to be ploughed out. He was emphatic in his complaints but didn't get the pump. The Careys occupied their home until 1919 when they sold it to E. A. Woodward of Winnipeg who moved to Vancouver in 1924. The house remained unoccupied for a year until it was bought by J. H. McDonald in 1923, whose family were there from 1925 to 1964. [28]
The next few years covered a very quiet building period everywhere, but in 1923, Claude Heubach commissioned Carey and G. W. Northwood to design his home at 203 Park Boulevard, the south corner of Nanton and Park Boulevard.
Further building was carried out in 1925 when Northwood designed a home for W. J. Smith at 111 Park Boulevard. C. W. U. Chivers designed a home for Allan Morrison further south at 215 park Blvd. and Gilbert Parfitt designed Percy paget's home at 229 Park Blvd., further south again. That same year, the first house built on Hertford Boulevard (now Lamont) was built for E. A. Nanton, one street back from Park.
In 1926, G. C. Griffin built on the river corner of Park and David Finkelstein built three houses on Lamont, designed by Northwood and Chivers, while he and his wife lived quietly in a small home on the University property. This home later became the first golf clubhouse. [29]
In 1927 G. A. Carruthers commissioned Sparrow Brothers to design and build his house at 207 Park Boulevard, and A. E. Cubbidge designed homes for L. J. H. Redmond and Percy J. Rich opposite each other at the river end of Handsart Boulevard. Next to Redmond, J. M. DeCourcey O'Grady commissioned W. C. Wallace to design and build his house. Roderick C. Davison built on the corner of Nanton and Lamont. Campbell J, Harstone built on Lamont, to complete the building that year.
In 1928, Frank Shea built his home on Park Boulevard, designed by J. W. Hawker, and Roy D. Forrester built his on Girton Boulevard.
In 1929, R. D. Guy commissioned W. A. Irish to build his home at 207 Lamont. Dr. J. A. P. Jobin commissioned Parkinson and Halley to design and build his house on Lamont, and Fred B. Wells built his house on Lamont Boulevard. A. H. Macdonald built on Girton Boulevard.
In 1930 a house was constructed for Trevor Roberts on Lamont Boulevard.
In 1931, Norman Edgar White commissioned the Sparrow Brothers of Winnipeg to design and build his home at 202 Handsart Boulevard which he occupied until 1963.
Other house construction also took place and much would follow, but these were twenty-three of the first homes built in Old Tuxedo up to 1931, all within the area bounded by the Barracks, the river, the Park, and Roblin Boulevard. All were gracious individual homes and demonstrated the worth of Heubach's promotion so firmly established in the concepts of the Olmsted Brothers. Other homes were constructed in the area so that by 1931 the town was attracting home buildersand owners but, again, building was slow indeed, due to the general depression. Despite this, the established policy of development continued unchanged under the devoted administration of David Finkelstein, Claude Heubach and a succession of owner-councillors. (See attached details of other homes and their histories built in the historic period.)
Tuxedo's school began in 1925 when the children of J. H. McDonald and Claude Heubach met for instruction in Heubach's home. By the next year a proper four-room schoolhouse had been built on Roblin Boulevard at Van Home (Tuxedo Avenue) where all the new children of the growing town attended classes. The original rooms are in constant use today. This was "P. S. No. 2" which has been enlarged to its present size.
In retrospect, the Olmsted Brothers rose to the challenge when asked by F. W. Heubach to plan both a residential and an industrial town on a relatively featureless area with a river frontage and a four mile depth, before the anticipated pressures of Winnipeg's urban growth could appear. In finding both Outhet and Olmsted, great credit is to be accorded the vision, foresight and organizing ability of F. W. Heubach himself. In their development planning, Heubach and his associates being splendidly advised from the start, have built a legacy which will endure for generations to come.
Handsart Boulevard
101 Handsart
Redmond House (1927)
Here we have another Cubbidge design, this time done for L. J. H. Redmond. This has a Tudor flavour, seeming to be an Elizabethan cottage. Mr. Redmond bought the piano company of J. J. H. McLean with three partners. The purchase was financed by the Heintzman firm. He was eventually able to buy out the others and carried on the business. He turned the business over to his son Peter, who recently sold to two long-time employees. For many years the business was on Portage Avenue at Hargrave, diagonally across from Eaton's in the Time building. In 1954, the company's distinctive neon sign started a fire which totally consumed the building, jumped to the other side of Hargrave and severely threatened the Eaton's Store. This was also a disaster for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, who had all their costumes and other belongings destroyed on an upper floor of the Time Building. After the Redmonds, the house was owned by Gordon K. Gage, a Vice President of Peerless Laundry. Another prominent owner in the 1960s was Fred Gaspard, President of Gaspard and Sons.
Rich House (1927)
The house was designed by Arthur E. Cubbidge and built in 1927 for Percy J. Rich, President of P. J. Rich Grain Company with offices in the Grain Exchange Building. He sold in 1947 to Mark Smerchanski, manager of Eco Exploration Company, diamond drillers.
O'Grady House
Harris House (1928)
This was the home of James M. Harris, grandson of the owner of Canada Packers. As a rung man, Jim came to Winnipeg to work in the company, but he gained fame in the community as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the first western team to win the Grey Cup in 1935. His position of tackle, and the typical fall weather for western games earned him the nickname "Slush."
Davison House (1927)
This is another of the early houses. Its first owner was Roderick C. Davison.
Jobin House
Smale House
White House (1931)
It was lean times for builders following the stock market crash in 1929 and in Tuxedo, only one house was built in 1930, and only one the next year. The long-time residents were Norman and Mary Dorothy White. Mr. White was a grain broker. They lived here until 1963. The house has kept its spacious yard. Sparrow Brothers again produced this Norman style with the round tower. The original attached garage is now a study.
Fraser House (1927)
In 1929 this was the only house south of Nanton (Piper) owned by J. Gordon Fraser, manager of Winnipeg Map and Blueprint Company on Donald Street. In 1929 there were no houses on Grenfell, at that time called Granville Boulevard. While some may have been built in the 1930s, both Grenfell and Chataway were filled in after the Second World War. Incidentally, Chataway was the land surveyor who laid out the streets for the 1911 Tuxedo Plan.
Hosmer Boulevard
301 Hosmer
Donahue House
This house was built by James Donahue, a professor of Architecture at the University of Manitoba. The main floor was built on stilts, putting the windows on a level with the greenery of the surrounding trees.
Claude Heubach House
His second Tuxedo home was built here.
Lamont Boulevard
100 Lamont
Burrows House (1930)
This was home in the 1960s to the Burrows family, descendants of T. A. Burrows, a lumber baron of western Canada. Burrows opened up land north of Dauphin, and harvested timber from the slopes of Duck Mountain. He had huge sawmill operations at Grandview and then at Bowsman. The family continued in the Burrows Lumber Company. This house reflects the Spanish influence popular between the wars, sometimes referred to as Spanish Colonial Revival.
Parkhill House (1937)
Roy Hamilton Parkhill (?-1971, son of John Hamilton Parkhill), the first owner of this house, was President of Parkhill Bedding, a firm that made springs, mattresses, and upholstered furniture.
Guy House
May House
Finkelstein House
Foote House (1926)
This house was designed by Northwood and Chivers. Its first owner was G. W. Foote, Manager of the Winnipeg Electric Company.
Nanton House (1925)
The sons of the local aristocracy are well represented in Tuxedo. The original owner of this home was Edward A. Nanton, a son of Sir Augustus Nanton whose estate, Kilmorie, was at the west end of Roslyn Road. The younger Nanton worked in the family business, Osler Hammond and Nanton, investment dealers, along with mortgages and insurance.

Paget House
The original owner of this house, built in 1925, was A. Percy Paget, and he occupied it until 1939. Paget was the Recorder of Vital Statistics for the Province. In 1925, this house was estimated to cost $10,000. It was designed by architect Gilbert Parfitt. Parfitt was born in England and trained there. He came to Winnipeg in 1912, landed a steady job and never resumed his travels. From 1913 to 1920 he was a draftsman in the Provincial Architect's office. Three years later he was designing buildings as an architect and was overseeing numerous buildings throughout the Province. By the mid 1920s, Parfitt was considered de facto Superintendent of Public Buildings and as such, had input in all provincially owned buildings. He also acted as consultant to A. A. Stoughton in the 1932 design of the new University of Manitoba Buildings (Tier and Buller) in Fort Garry. He was confirmed as Building Superintendent in 1933 and as Provincial Architect from 1947 until he retired in 1956. He also designed the Cenotaph, the Central Provincial Garage which was demolished in the winter of 1990-1991, St. John's Cathedral, St. John's Presbyterian Church, and St. Patrick's Anglican Church.
Swartz House
This modern house by architect Jack Ross dating from 1958 completed the building of Park Boulevard. It was built for Dr. David Swartz and his wife Dawn O'Brien, a pianist. The Swartz's hosted many celebrated musicians who were visiting the city for performances for the Winnipeg Symphony and the Women's Musical Club.
By now, we have seen a number of house styles, which are common to the area. Tudor Revival is perhaps the most common, being adaptable to various roof lines and interesting detail. One source credits the rebuilding of Liberty's Store in London in 1924 for the ressurgence of interest in this style. It was found, however, in homes built in Crescentwood in the years 1906 to 1912 and never really lost its popularity in Winnipeg. The round Norman Tower was used by several architects to convey the atmosphere of substance. The Spanish influence will be seen in arched windows, grilled vents, and wrought iron, giving a Mediterranian feeling of something slightly exotic. This style appears on Wellington Crescent in River Heights and at the Uptown (Theatre) Bowling Alley. The Georgian colonial style of white with green shutters, having a balanced window placeing, was more frequently used after the Second World War. To the traditionalist, it had a clean, uncluttered look that the postwar era preferred while still harking back to historic origins. There are few modern international style houses in Tuxedo, 1 Nanton Boulevard, which was the home Clive Tallin, the last mayor of the town. Another is the Donahue house on Hosmer. For sheer elegance, you cannot surpass the original home built by Raymond Carey at 121 Park Boulevard. The nice detail and proportions are very pleasing and yet impressive. They make Tuxedo architecture unique in Winnipeg.
It is of interest to find that the planning of Tuxedo was not the only project in which the Olmsted Brothers were involved in Winnipeg, as made evident by the following list:
Winnipeg Public Parks Board: Plan 2969, Olmsted Park (Heubach Park) Plan 4020, 1910 City and Regional Planning and Improvements: Tuxedo Town Plan, Plan 6286, Heubach's Industrial Village Plan 4096 1911; Winnipeg City Planning Plan 6311 Subdivisions and Suburban Communities: Heubach, F. W. Ltd. Plan 3704 Colleges and School Campuses: University of Manitoba plan 3911, 1910-12, Manitoba Agricultural College Plan 5063, University of Winnipeg Plan 5836

Exhibitions and Fairs: Winnipeg Exposition Plan 5175, Canadian Industrial Exhibition Association Plan 5761, 1912-15
This is a total of 15 projects in Winnipeg, undertaken by this famous firm of landscape architects, between the years of 1909 and 1915. The list is taken from the Master List of Design projects of the Olmsted Firm 1857-1950, published by the National Association for Olmsted Parks, Boston Mass. 1987.

2. Prior to the development and subdivision of Tuxedo, the Province had purchased 117 acres of land just west of the City boundary on the south bank of the Assiniboine river for a Provincial agriculture college. They paid $15,000 for Lots 3 and 4 in St. Charles and, in 1904, voted $100,000 for the necessary buildings. Five of those buildings are standing today and four have been designated for preservation when the site in developed for residential purposes.

Heubach was his private secretary and presumably well acquainted with real estate sales and development and their possibilities in Winnipeg.

14. Just how Heubach had come to appreciate the value of siting the University in Tuxedo is a mystery, but it may have come about because evidently he had studied the development of Tuxedo thoroughly, and may have been advised by landscape architects of the Olmsted tradition. Note that the offer was made in 1907 but Outhet's plan is dated 1905.
15. This British group managed to sustain its interest over the years, maintaining its rights to the small triangle of land bounded by Tuxedo Avenue, Roblin Boulevard and Edgeland Boulevard which was zoned for three apartment blocks and a shopping centre. Its investment was held for little return when it is considered the costs of improvements were incurred in the early development years.
16. F. L. Olmsted, founder of the firm, thought the ideal university site was one surrounded by the homes of the scholars and student residences which together would constitute an academic community. Those thoughts had governed his planning of the California college at Berkeley on San Francisco Bay many years before. His sons clearly planned to apply the same principle to the Tuxedo site of the University of Manitoba.
