First, form a small planning committee of neighbors to discuss needs, the level of interest, and possible problems. Decide on a date and place for a Neighborhood Watch meeting.
Next, contact the Trophy Club Police Department and ask that a Crime Prevention Officer come to your meeting to discuss the Neighborhood Watch and help assess your neighborhood's problems and needs.
Finally, contact as many of your neighbors as possible and find out if they feel at risk of being victimized, if they have taken steps to protect their homes, if they would be willing to attend a meeting to organize a Neighborhood Watch group in your area. You may be surprised to learn how many of your neighbors will be willing to participate.
Neighborhood Watch is not designed to intervene during a criminal act. They do not approach or follow suspicious persons or vehicles. Neighborhood Watch participants observe and report suspicious activities and, if necessary, to be a good witness.

Sexual Enhancement for Women
Sex matters. When it's hot, it's on fire. When it's not, it sucks. We've seen erectile dysfunction in men, and the miracles of Viagra. But for women?
Sexual dysfunction refers to problems related to the sexual response cycle. While it's not uncommon to experience sexual problems from time to time, 43% of American women report ongoing issues in the bedroom.
Symptoms of sexual dysfunction in women include:
lowered sex drive, and lack of interest in sex
inability to lubricate
lack of orgasm (anorgasmia)
painful intercourse, often from vaginal dryness
Sexual enhancement for women is an umbrella term for products and techniques that benefit the female sex drive and alleviate sexual dysfunction in women. There is no prescription pill, or female Viagra, that will instantly cure a flagging female libido. But there are solutions that can reduce and, with time and patience, help women overcome problems in the bedroom.
Be aware that sexual enhancement for women is broad, with a wide range of products, including female libido pills, over-the-counter lubricants and female enhancement creams. New studies link some common lubricants to microtears in the vaginal walls that can, among other things, increase risk of HIV and HPV infection.
This article defines sexual enhancement for women as natural products – female libido pills and female enhancement creams – comprised of botanicals, amino acids and nutrients used since ancient times to increase blood flow to the genitals and restore the shifting hormones often responsible for sexual dysfunction in women.
But first, let's look at the two reasons for sexual problems that women face:
Physical causes – Diabetes, heart disease, shifting hormones, menopause, chronic diseases, alcohol or drug abuse, some medications (especially anti-depressants) can all affect sexual function and reduce desire for sex.
Psychological causes – Stress, anxiety, concern about performance, relationship problems, depression, past trauma or abuse influence the libido and can contribute to sexual dysfunction in women.
Sexual enhancement for women isn't a generic cure for the sexual problems that women face, be they physical or psychological. But female libido pills and enhancement creams are formulated to address the sexual problems that women face, and in some cases, are an effective solution to sexual dysfunction in women.
Common ingredients in sexual enhancement pills and creams include:
Ginseng – A popular aphrodisiac used extensively in Asian cultures and believed to relieve symptoms of menopause.
Damiana Leaf – For vaginal lubrication, damiana leaf is believed to ease hot flashes and increase sensitivity in the genitals.
Ginkgo Biloba – One of the best herbs for promoting the blood flow necessary for sexual arousal, ginkgo biloba improves overall sexual function and may relieve symptoms of PMS.
How female libido pills might help sexual dysfunction: Pills address shifting hormones in the female body and restore a balance that's conducive to peak sexual performance. While they take about three months to achieve best results, libido pills address many of the physical causes of sexual dysfunction in women and boost sexual health.
Many women claim that female libido pills restore sexual desire and the ability to achieve deep, and even multiple orgasms. They don't act immediately, but when they do, you'll know it.
How female enhancement creams might help sexual dysfunction: Creams and gels give immediate gratification. When you want to get in the mood, or just want more lubrication, creams provide instant wetness.
It's important to note that female enhancement creams employ botanicals rather than the harmful petrochemicals found in many over-the-counter lubricants, and may be a safer option.
Remember also that sexual enhancement for women, though potent, works best as part of a comprehensive strategy to address the causes of sexual problems, whether physical or psychological. Keep an open communication with your partner and your doctor, and when it doubt, always seek medical advice.

Site plan of the ÜberseeQuartier (so-called overseas quarter)
Residential Building Pacamara
construction project: construction of a residential and commercial building with 89 residential units and commercial areas on the ground floor; privately financed construction of rental housing
location: Singapurstraße / Überseeboulevard, 20547 Hamburg-HafenCity
building contractor: Überseequartier Beteiligungs GmbH, Hamburg
project management: ALBA – BauProjektManagement GmbH, Hamburg branch
statics: DBN Planungsgruppe Dröge Baade Nagaraj, Salzgitter
building services: Ingenieurgesellschaft Ridder – Meyn – Nuckel, Norderstedt
construction supervision: Höhler + Partner, Hamburg
fire prevention: hhp, Berlin
structural physics: ITA – Ingenieurgesellschaft – Wiesbaden
construction / material: reinforced concrete solid construction, facing brick shell, ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems) inside the courtyard, wood-aluminium windows, aluminium post-and-beam construction on the ground floor
Two structures are built around a courtyard thus forming a perimeter wall. The court is situated 2 metres above the exterior ground-level and thus becomes a protected, semi-public kind of dwelling mound. Three openings link the court with the public space: A cleft at the west side divides the building so that the courtyard can be accessed from the street level via a spacious perron. Above the base area a 4-storey opening unfolds towards the boulevard. With its urban balcony right above the boulevard it allows for a view of the city and links the building to the urban area. On the north side facing an office building this feature reoccurs, this time ranging over 3 storeys. The roof-edges of the block with their dynamic design are ascending towards the northwest and in the southeast towards the square in front of the old port authority building. The facades display the different ground plans of the flats ranging from maisonette and town house flats to single-floor apartments. Deeply carved out loggias and bays create a structural building. The compact construction displays a clear, objective architectural statement, the materiality changes in a traditional manner: While the rough brick facade at the outside walls of the complex facing the street corresponds with the near by warehouse district, the walls facing towards the courtyard are surfaced with a finer, lighter plaster.
The residential and commercial building complies with the urban development concept of giving fresh impetus to and partially revitalising the established intra-urban building structure. In a confident and individual way the construction blends in with the given context. The applied perimeter development is structured by a smart mixture of open and closed spaces. The draft tackles the transit from public urban space to semi-public courtyard and to the private areas of the apartments. Situated approximately 2 metres above the exterior ground-level the courtyard serves as a retreat area with apartment related open spaces. Its three openings provide a permeable zone of communication focusing on the surrounding urban development. Stores and small businesses occupying the ground floor areas make the neighbourhood more vibrant. Addressing the residents' different needs and personal circumstances the 89 residential units come in three configurations: maisonette, town house and single-floor apartment. The facade is outlined according to the inner structure of the different types of apartments which thus becomes evident also in the outward appearance of the building. Serving as a dominating element the white plaster applied on the facades facing the courtyard is also used on the facades facing towards the public area. Here, it marks – in combination with the locally characteristic bricks – the alignment of the residential units. An absolutely successful statement concerning contemporary residential construction!

New board, director as Cabot Trail Writers Festival heads into 10th year
SaltWire Network | Posted: Sept. 25, 2018, 5:25 p.m. | Updated: Sept. 25, 2018, 5:25 p.m. | 2 Min Read
Madeleine Thien will be one of the guests at this week's Cabot Trail Writers Festival in St. Anns. - Contributed
ST. ANNS, N.S. — It will be a new beginning as the Cabot Trail Writers Festival enters its 10th year this weekend.
The 2018 event begins Friday and continues until Sunday at the Gaelic College in St. Anns, Victoria County. Like other years, a full weekend is planned.
This year's guest artists include 2016 Giller Prize winner Madeleine Thien, Governor General's Award winner Linda Spalding, 2018 Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award winner Oisin Curran, 2018 Canada Reads finalist Sharon Bala, bestselling non-fiction writer Phonse Jessome, Mi'kmaw poet Shalan Joudry, children's writer Joanne Schwartz and musicians Old Man Luedecke and Jacques Mindreau, among others.
Rebecca Silver Slayter
But unlike other years, there will be a substantial change within the festival's structure. Rebecca Silver Slayter is the new festival director and there's a whole new board involved. Slayter says it will be a tough act to follow.
"The founders and former board members built something beautiful, unique and without precedent," said Slayter. "Recognizing not only the literary talent but also the devoted reading community of Cape Breton, they grew what began as basically an overcrowded book club meeting into a professional-calibre festival with a national reputation for excellence. Guest writers often say this is the most fun they've ever had at a literary event."
The new organization has added a few new events to this year's lineup. There will be an outdoor event featuring Mi'kmaw music and storytelling, called Heard in the Highlands; a multilingual reading and conversation featuring Gaelic, Acadian French and Mi'kmaw, called In Other Words; a festival book club and some free programming, to help ensure the festival is accessible to as many people as possible. Slayter says it's all in an effort to encourage more Cape Bretoners to take part in what is a very literary island.
"This is the home of Alistair MacLeod and Hugh MacLennan, Rita Joe, Linden MacIntyre, Kate Beaton, Lynn Coady … This is an island of storytellers," said Slayter. "And it's also an island of readers. For 10 years, the Cabot Trail Writers Festival has been a home for both … a place to connect without pretension about the simple joy of literature. And we hope that it will continue to be for many more decades to come."
Tickets can be purchased online at www.cabottrailwritersfestival.com, by phone at 902-224-5231, or at the Craft Shop of the Gaelic College.

Self-parking is available during lunch and complimentary valet parking available during dinner.
It was really good, as always. It was my husband's birthday and it was exactly what he wanted.
Being a new visitor to this establishment and notifying the staff of such, they went above and beyond to upsell everything they could. Instead of letting us know "bottled water" would be $16 they asked us if we preferred sparkling water or spring water without letting us know it would be an extra charge. After the drink choices I was then told to pick between there shrimp options for the before meal appetizer, again not being told it wasn't apart of the "normal" dining experience. After the food came out we, my partner and I, ventured to the salad bar where I tried the caprese salad. To my surprise the salad had mint leaves instead of basil which I asked the waiter and he just informed me that they only use basil on that salad bar option, clearly showing him the mint leaf. The rest of the dining experience went well up to the dessert portion. They asked not once but 3 times to order dessert after denying due to the creeping suspension that there will be added products to the bill. Finally for the fourth time a female waiter came by and told us to look at the beautiful pictures of the desserts and that we could even take them home to-go. Again, telling them no, the waiter came back with the $170 bill for two people whos first time there without explanation of the added charges. I will not come back to this establishment but rather spend my money at Terra Gaucha where I know what I'm paying for and there is no pressure to get additional options which are highly overpriced.
Amazing experience. You will not be disappointed. The teamwork that is provided to help you through the experience was great to see.
Awesome experience! Excellent for date night, friend's outing or celebration of any kind. The food was delicious and the drinks as well was awesome!
Went for my son's birthday, the food as always was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond making him feel like the center of attention, especially when preparing the cake and taking photos for us.
Waiter was very, very nice but just wasn't on top things. We were a table of 6 and after asking twice for mash potatoes, he brings us 2 small little plates (10 minutes later and they were cold). Half way through dessert, he asked if we want coffee!! You should have offered us coffee when you took our dessert. Most meat was pretty fatty and 1 person in our group asked for med well or well steak and they said they would be back but never did. Texas De Brazil is better all the way around and cheaper!
Even though on paper it is a little expensive the value and portions truly make it well worth every penny you are paying for.
Great as always. Be sure to request the beef ribs or you'll never see them. They seem to hide them away only for those in the know.
I had a great experience at Fogo de Chao. Even though I never told them that it was my birthday they figured it out in some way and made me feel very special.
Tabitha was awesome! She gave wine recommendations & was really really helpful explaining the experience, since it was my first time!
Awesome service, beautiful decor and delicious food. It was an amazing experience. They also gave us an extra special treat because everyone were celebrating our anniversary!! I highly recommend!
My husband and I absolutely love this place. We live in Charlotte Nc and drive about 5hours on the weekends to come to this place sometimes. If we lived closer this would be our place to go every single weekend. The food is always amazing and the service outstanding!
All around great experience! Service was superb. Manager visited our table to check on us. Free dessert for Anniversary too.
My wife and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. We both have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, and the experience was awesome! Service was top notch and the food was delicious!
Was there for our anniversary and it was awesome.The food and service was better than we could have imagined.We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful experience eating here for my husband's birthday. Such an excellent selection of meats to sample.
We entertained very close friends from out of the USA who travel the world and enjoy fine dining. They LOVED the meal and we were so pleased that here in Jacksonville we can entertain the most sophisticated taste buds at Fogo de Chao!
It was good but not worth the cost.
Quality food and great service.
My wife and I always enjoy Fogo for date night. Not a place we take our kid to. Food is always delicious; if you can't find at least one satisfying cut of meat here, then you're a vegetarian. If you are a vegetarian, then the market table is for you because it is also fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It can be pricey, but sign up for their emails and you'll be inundated with great coupons (Bogo, $25 off, etc). In other words it's silly to pay full price.
Far and away the best restaurant in the Jacksonville area. Credit due to Marcio, Cesar, and Fabio for hands-on management of the whole operation , and to Beatrice and Iris for prompt, friendly and professional serving services. And of course the meat entrees were superb.
Went for the first time on my anniversary. The service was great. Went an hour before closing reccomend going earlier. Food was amazing and the selection is endless.
Had an amazing first experience!! Our server was awesome & she knew her stuff. Even more so recommended a few things within the menu being that it was our first time here. Nonetheless, thanks in advance as we will be back!!
An enjoyable evening with great food and service. The staff was very attentive and prompt and the food was flavorful with an extensive variety. Always an enjoyable experience when we go there.
A great place for a special occasion. Good food and great service.
The food was amazing, the service was good. However, the expense can be prohibitive. Overall, they do a good job.

Providence Public Library hires first new executive director in more than 30 years

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The Providence Public Library is getting its first new executive director in more than three decades, as it embarks on strategic planning to move PPL forward.
Jack Martin, 39, whose experience includes 11 years at the New York Public Library, will start his new job on Jan. 13.
Martin will replace Dale Thompson, whose 34 years at PPL included 25 as executive director.
�We�re going to start a new strategic planning process right when I get there,� at the board of trustees� direction. �It�s going to be a new, exciting, energetic time,� Martin said Thursday in a phone interview from London, where he and his husband were spending the holidays.
�We are looking for stakeholders to get involved� in the planning, including library users, staff, and city residents and others, he said.
�I�m just really excited to come back to Providence. It�s a place I�ve always loved. I have so many friends and colleagues there,� said Martin, who worked at the Central Library in the art and music department, and at the Washington Park branch as a children�s specialist, between 1999-2001.
Robert K. Taylor, PPL�s board of trustees chairman, said the board selected Martin from a nationwide pool of �very strong candidates� to lead the private, independent nonprofit library � an institution in Providence since 1900. (The PPL ran the Central Library and nine branches until July 2009: the city now operates the branches).
�I think we were very impressed with his background and experience. It had a lot to do with areas that I think are going to be very important for libraries going forward, including innovative library programming and young adult services,� Taylor said of Martin. �Beyond that, we were very impressed with his energy and enthusiasm.�
Meanwhile, Thompson said she and her husband are bidding Rhode Island goodbye, and will roam the country in a new custom-built, Air-Stream trailer for the next few years.
�We�ve sold our house and gotten rid of most of our things and we�re just going to be traveling around the country,� Thompson said in a phone interview on Thursday.
�Then we�ll probably find a place that we like, and settle,� most likely on the West Coast where her husband is from, and where she started her library career, Thompson said.
Thompson cited the library�s National Award for Library Service in 2001 as one of PPL�s prouder moments during her tenure. �We were only the second urban library to get the award. It was a really wonderful recognition of the service provided to the community,� she said.
Thompson declined to discuss a tumultuous period during her tenure � including public protests in 2004 over significant salary raises Thompson and other top administrators had received in the years leading up to layoffs; reduced hours at Central Library, and other restructuring.
That, she said, �is in the past.�
Thompson praised PPL�s development of a new revenue stream, by using the Central Library as an events venue, including for weddings, galas, corporate meetings, and conferences. �People are thrilled� to be able to use the library for such events, she said.
�The Providence Public Library is in a really good space right now. I feel this is a good time to leave,� Thompson said. �The library is set firmly on a path to move forward, and that�s what we�re doing.�
Martin�s 11 years at the New York Public Library included overseeing cultural and educational programming for adults, teens and children in the system�s 90 citywide branches. That included developing and implementing innovative digital media and online programs.
Most recently, Martin worked with Global Kids Inc., a New York-based nonprofit, to teach youth about immigration, social issues and New York City history.
�Just as they always have been, libraries continue to be critical institutions of lifelong learning and significant places in our communities,� Martin said. �I believe our library�s future must be directly connected to the learning goals of our community, and to that end I will be exploring all opportunities for vibrant partnerships, collaboration and new initiatives.�

Q: yt.streams.get_by_resolution() returns None even though stream exists I'm using pytube to download youtube videos as a part of a larger project.
This is the problem causing part:
from pytube import YouTube
yt = YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ&t=7s')
x = yt.streams.get_by_resolution('144p')
print(x) # output of this line is None

Now, I can't understand why yt.streams.get_by_resolution('144p') returns None even though stream exists.
More: It seems that for all resolutions on this video, other than 360p, None is returned.

A: As per the docs, stream must be a progressive mp4.
If a progressive stream isn't available, None is returned.

City Of Lies' release date being pulled comes shortly after its leading man Depp was sued by a location manager who worked on the film.
As Variety reports, a spokesman for spokesman for the distribution company, Global Road Entertainment, has now revealed that the film has been pulled from the upcoming release schedule, with a new date not yet revealed.
Based on the true story of one of the most notorious and unsolved cases in recent memory, CITY OF LIES is a provocative thriller revealing a never-before-seen look at the infamous murder of The Notorious B.I.G. shortly following the death of Tupac Shakur.
Had it been released next month, it would coincide with the iconic rappers 46th birthday. The film was directed by Brad Furman. It was slated to hit theaters about a month from now, on September 7th.
Sullivan was the inspiration for the movie's second lead, a journalist and writer played by Forest Whitaker, who approaches Poole and draws out his theory connecting the two murders with an infamous record label owner and members of the LAPD. The suit, which also names the film's director and producers, alleges that Depp verbally abused Brooks before punching him twice.
Despite rumours that Johnny Depp will return to the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise for a sixth chapter (even though Disney sacked James Gunn for offensive jokes, which rank significantly lower on the crime ladder than physical assault), there's potentially some bad news for the actor as well.
"In spite of fans voicing their concerns online about his presence in the movie after allegations of physically abusive behavior involving ex-wife Amber Heard emerged, the actor received applause and cheers from the Hall H crowd", says THR.
And they sent that tweet, which, given the very strong case that people in the Saudi government helped make 9/11 happen , is pretty bonkers.

A Living Typeface That Actually Grows in a Petri Dish
Author: Liz StinsonLiz Stinson
Ori Elisar created a typeface out of bacteria.
The bacteria is Paenibacillus vortex.
The letters are an evolution between an ancient Hebrew script and the modern-day script.
Elisar wrote the ancient letters in bacteria then used a protein to outline the more current letters.
As the bacteria begins to eat the protein it takes on the shape of the modern-day Hebrew letter.
Elisar at work in the lab.
Most letters are ink or pixels, static in their existence. The letters Ori Elisar creates, however, are not.
Elisar, a designer from Jerusalem, has created a font that is alive in the most literal sense. In his Living Language project, Elisar used the bacteria Paenibacillus vortex to grow letters that transform from the long-dead Paleo-Hebrew alphabet to the modern Hebrew one. It's linguistic evolution in action.
Elisar started the project because of his interest in letterforms. He studied linguistics as an undergrad, and always was struck by how the two Hebrew alphabets could be so different in form. This experiment is a way to draw connections from the past to the future. "I wanted to see if I could find the evolution of the Hebrew language," he says. "I know it's quite silly because it's impossible to recreate evolution using bacteria, but I thought maybe I could find something visually interesting in the process."
He began growing his typeface by adding bacteria in the shape of Paleo-Hebrew letters on agar (a substance that encourages culture growth) in individual Petri dishes. Then he'd add the outline of current Hebrew letters using a protein Paenibacillus consumes as food. Stick the Petri dish in an oven set to 87.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and the bacteria incubate and feed on the protein, allowing the Paleo-Hebrew letters to take on the shape of the current-day script.
It's like a button in Illustrator. But I did it with biology.
Ori Elisar
Some Petri dishes show fully-formed letterforms (both the old and the new share a dish), while others are a bit messier, as though they were stopped half-way through the incubation process. And indeed, as we've seen with other bio-design projects, there's a tension between attempting to control the behavior and aesthetics of living organisms and letting nature run its course. This tension is seen in projects like Jelte van Abbema's Symbiosis and the University of Warwick's "Merry Xmas" bio holiday greeting. This delicate balance of variables, Elisar says, took some experimentation to figure out.
He wound up incubating more than 400 Petri dishes to determine exactly what worked. He found that bacteria incubated for the shortest amount of time—four hours—produced a hazy letterform, while dishes that stayed in the oven for four days produced crisp scripts in both languages. By the end of the project, Elisar arrived at what he believes to be a reliable process that, like any other design process, can produce a given visual by following a certain set of rules. "It's like a button in Illustrator," he says. "But I did it with biology."

SMEs Presidential Roundtable: Discussions on Cross-Cutting Issues & Interventions
H.E Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, addressing the Small and Medium Sized Enterprise (SMEs) owners at the SME Presidential Round table hosted by Strathmore University.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto attended the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Presidential Roundtable held at Strathmore University, and sponsored by NIC Bank. His delegation also included Nairobi County governor, Mike Sonko, Cabinet Secretary for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, Peter Munya, and his Transport counterpart, James Macharia.
On the first day of the roundtable, delegates from agro-processing, aquaculture, construction, livestock, textile and trade value chains had an opportunity to discuss growth opportunities, areas of collaboration and the vision for each of the sectors. This forum was opportune as the Kenyan private sector contributes over 84% to the GDP of Kenya. The segmentation of the private sector reveals that the role of the informal sector is immense yet is still largely misunderstood by policy makers.
Emphasizing this, Dr. Edward Mungai, DVC Planning and Development, said, "We are here to provide an opportunity to discuss issues affecting SMEs and to see where the government can step in to solve them." On the second day, representatives from the different clusters had a chance to address the President on issues plaguing SMEs. Some of the issues discussed included lack of access to affordable finance, high taxation and the need for capacity building.
The construction cluster brought the Technical and Vocational Educational Training Centres to task urging them to produce technicians who are able to run state-of-the-art machinery in wood and timber factories. A recommendation to have an "African Attire Day" or "Made in Kenya" clothing day came from the textile cluster as a way of increasing local consumption of apparel designed and made in Kenya. Furthermore, traders urged the government to recognise hawkers as legal traders and to provide permanent and secure markets for hawkers with basic service provision. They also asked for grabbed public land to be redeemed so as to create space for traders.
The president put aside his prepared speech and acknowledged that the government has not sufficiently addressed the issues affecting SMEs. "We haven't done enough to address the issues affecting the SME sector. I am embarrassed to be reminded about the Gikomba market, something we should have dealt with already," he said.
Making off-the-cuff remarks, he directed the Cabinet Secretary for Energy to review electricity tariffs with a view to reducing the cost of power incurred by SMEs. He insisted on the necessity for a follow-up session at the same venue in one month's time so as to assess the progress made on the recommendations put forward.
This roundtable ignited a conversation throughout the country on the problems that plague the owners of SMEs with many acknowledging that the issues cited mar the SME industry consistently.

The baby boomers, in contrast, weren't so pressed to learn to speak the language of Shakespeare. Nearly three quarters (73 percent) of French workers over 45 think their grasp of English played no part in their professional success.
"This generational difference can probably be explained by the internationalization of work and the growing importance of English in all the professional areas associated with the internet and new technologies," an ABA spokesperson said.
Among those aged 45 plus, the main reason was for travelling at 42 percent, followed by personal development at 32 percent, family at 13 percent, and work at just 12 percent.
The poor level of English among French people made headlines in November last year, when France once again finished last in the EU in a worldwide ranking of English ability.
The French were deemed to have a "moderate proficiency" in English, and were lumped in with the South Koreans, the Indonesians, the Bulgarians and the Italians, according to the study by global language training company Education First.
France's result in the annual study was good enough to see it jump out of the "low proficiency" bracket from the year before, and France actually showed the largest improvement levels in English throughout Europe.
Benjamin Delahaye from Education First in France said the improving results were "encouraging", but added that as a year-on-year study all changes had to be "looked at with caution".
"This doesn't mean French people's level of English is going to skyrocket into the high proficiency level, but it's encouraging," he told The Local at the time.


The idea behind Proxygen is not to replace Apache but having the ability to create a specialized high-performance web server that can be embedded into existing applications providing web services. Facebook initially started to build a proxy (hence the name) server in 2011, and now they are open sourcing it after the project evolved and has been tested in production for a number of years.
According to Facebook, their previous HTTP infrastructure had reach some scalability limits and required "lots of workarounds", so they wanted something that can be developed internally as desired.
A number of features were missing in existing HTTP servers at that time: SPDY, WebSockets, HTTP/1.1 (keep-alive), TLS false start, and specific load-scheduling algorithms.
Proxygen uses the following concepts: transaction, session, codec, and handler. A transaction represents a request-response pair exchanged between a client and a server. A sequence of such related transactions represents a session. Bytes coming from the wire are parsed into objects by a codec which associates them with a transaction. The message is eventually passed to a handler for actual processing. While it is possible to interact with the framework at this low level of codecs and transactions, developers are suggested to use higher level abstractions via an API.
Folly – an open source library of C++11 components used internally by Facebook and including among others a code benchmarking framework, endian conversion primitives, optimized strings and vectors, JSON serializer, and others.
FBThrift – an Apache Trift branch.
Proxygen has support for SPDY 3.1 and is adding support for HTTP/2. During an in-house benchmark run by Facebook on a 32 logical core Xeon CPU E5-2670 @ 2.60GHz with 16 GB of RAM, a Proxygen echo server served up to 304,197 in-memory GET requests/sec over SPDY 3.1.
The source code released on GitHub has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04, but Facebook considers it safe to be run on other systems, without specifying which.


Todd Fisher says the family has given Lucasfilm permission to use recent footage of the late actress for the final Star Wars movie.
From Lucasfilm/Bad Robot/Walt Disney Studios/Rex/Shutterstock.
After Carrie Fisher's death in December, the future of the last couple of Star Wars movies seemed uncertain. Fans were relieved to hear that her work on The Last Jedi, which will hit theaters this December, was completed before her death, but rumors swirled that Lucasfilm might try to digitally add her into the final movie, as with Peter Cushing in last year's Rogue One. Lucasfilm, thankfully, released a statement in January saying that they will not be doing that, but Fisher will be in Episode IX: her brother Todd Fisher says that he and her daughter Billie Lourd have given Lucasfilm the right to use recent footage of her for the film.
We know next to nothing about The Last Jedi and how General Leia will figure into the plot, but director Rian Johnson has said that her role is bigger than in 2015's The Force Awakens.
Lucasfilm has also said that none of the plot of the final Star Wars film would be rewritten because of Fisher's death. What this means for exactly how they'll have her in the film without digitally recreating her appearance remains to be seen.

Week ending 21st November
It was great to welcome back our former Y11 students this week to celebrate their exam success. Many were hardly recognisable, having changed so much with their move to sixth-form. It is an opportunity for us all to reflect on their collective success and celebrate exceptional achievements in individual subject areas and in overall performance.
This week Drama have been organising a bid with Key Stage Arts and Kettle's Yard for funding from the Heritage Lottery project. Our bid centres around bringing museum objects to life and making our primary feeder schools aware of the rich heritage that Kettle's Yard has to offer. Drama is also launching 'The Chesterton Stripe' award which aims to recognise and celebrate the commitment that a range of our students have to the Performing Arts inside and outside of the school day.
The members of Community Club, our international club, have started a new project which allows both students and staff members to learn the basics of a new language delivered by our "mother tongue students". Elisabeth Srassmitt , Alice Fredriksson, Yonhee Zang and Maia Ugarte (four of our lovely year 7 international students) have started the project with the first three lessons of Swedish, Korean and Portuguese. All those who attended, a mix of students and teachers, were enthusiastic as the lessons were carefully planned, nicely delivered and also accompanied by traditional local delicacies such as the lovely Brazilian truffles "Brigadeiro" prepared by Maia. This was great fun and we are looking forward to the next lessons of Italian, Polish, Chinese, Bengali and more.
The stone sculpture produced by Melissa Pierce Murray during her artist in residency at Chesterton is now fully installed. It is currently showing a digital artwork produced by the artist but we are hoping for students to start designing their own pieces of coding using 'scratch' to go on display. Please follow this link to go to Melissa's blog to read more about her residency at Chesterton. http://mpmchesterton.wordpress.com/. There are also pictures on our Facebook page.
Over a hundred students and parents danced the night away to the tunes of four bands at the PTA Band Night. The first act was 'The Curious Incident' comprising four members of the English Faculty. The jazz club environment which had been created by the parents in the Farnsworth Hall, lent itself to their folk/indie sound. The next act was the Year 11 student band 'Susan's Extra Arm', followed by the parent band 'One Night Only'. The final act was 'Sugarbeat', which got us ALL to our feet! The Chesterton chef provided deluxe hot dogs and the PTA provided drinks and snacks, fuelling toe tapping and dancing for students, staff and parents. The next PTA meeting is next Tuesday and will be held in The Apex at 7.30pm. Please feel free to attend even if you've never been before. Spencer Norman, our new chef, will be talking about his vision for food at Chesterton and he may even bring some samples along.
Mock exams start next week for Y11. This is a very formal process to give them a real flavour of what the experience will be like in the summer. These grades will also influence predicted grades for sixth-form and so it is important that these next two weeks are taken very seriously. There have been the parent revision sessions; senior leadership revision sessions and updates to the revision website. Year 11s also now have a quite space for revision at lunchtime, which I am delighted to say they are using very effectively. We wish them luck over the next two weeks. We will also be holding a mock results' day, so students can receive their results just as they would in the summer. The intention is to help them visualise what they would like their experience in the summer to be and motivate them for the forthcoming months.
Our congratulations to former Chesterton student, Kieran Wood, who is running on the world stage. He competed recently in Spain running for England in an IAAF cross country race. Apparently there was a mix up with kit which meant he had two race vests and, whilst he will keep one as a souvenir to remember his first call-up, Kieran kindly offered the second as a thank you to the PE department for starting him on this journey.

'If you think you know Spain think again!'I remember that advertising slogan from a few years ago. Spain has constantly reinvented itself in the wake of huge economic turmoil to keep the tourists coming back. Very probably deriving benefit from the misfortunes of other popular holiday destinations like Tunisia, Turkey and Egypt, Spain is enjoying the favour of the sun seeker as much as ever.
We travelled to Alcudia on the Balearic island of Mallorca in early June and stayed in a chic boutique hotel called Alcudia Petit Hotel within the walls of in the old town of Alcudia. This is a very upmarket little place and still only about 20 minutes walk from the long white sandy beach and incredibly shallow crystal blue waters of Alcudia bay if you need to get to the ocean.The hotel was in a great location and had a superb restaurant with a charming courtyard attached.
The old town has lots of pretty, windy streets with lovely shops and a wide range of great places to eat within a very compact area. You can walk around the old town walls and get a great view s over the town and out towards the Bay of Pollensa. You can visit the beautiful church of Sant Jaume or the real old bullring. I think they still do bullfights here but it's not something I support, although I know it is part of Spain's cultural heritage. I would always want the bulls to win and they never do..
Would you like to chat a Matador?
I love markets and Spain has lots of lively markets all over the island almost every day of the week. One of the biggest and best just happens to be in Alcudia on Tuesdays and Sundays. There is an amazing selection of fabulous fresh fruit and vegetables displayed with typical Spanish flair. There are gorgeous cheeses, cured meats and sausages.
All kinds of nuts, herbs and spices compete with Spanish nougat and other sweet treats for your attention. Apart from things to eat, there are also lots and lots of other goods which will undoubtedly tempt you to part with your Euros. Beautiful Mallorcan pearls aren't cheap but there are lots of more affordable jewellery options as well as leather goods, arts and crafts andlots of lovely summer dresses.
Bright and colourful ceramics are a particular favourite of mine. and I did buy lots of pots and jugs and bowls, all of which required wrapping up in clothes and transporting carefully home in my hand luggage. My house is stuffed to the rafters with delicious ceramics, I think it's a definite addiction. The market starts at 8am and runs until 1pm so you do need to get yourself out of bed or you will miss all the action!
Mallorca has the best beaches in the Mediterranean and indeed one of its beaches S'Amarador was selected as the 'Best Beach of Europe' in 2008. Port d'Alcudia has an incredibly long stretch of perfect white sand and is shallow for such a long way out that it is really ideal for families with children or those with a fear of submersion.
Cap de Formentor just up the coast from Alcudia, is a mountainous view point out over the Mediterranean. You can gaze out into the endless blue with the other tourists, but beware of the pick pockets. My brother spotted a couple operating up there using the distraction technique (one occupies the target and conceals what the other one is doing with a scarf.) We wanted to report them but there was no one to report them to!
Beach life on Mallorca has the usual beach front cafes and bars, water sports and straw umbrellas for hire with their rather cute straw 'quiffs' dotted along the beach. Just off the beaches are the customary shopping, eating and drinking places – everything you could want for the perfect seaside holiday.
As well as the usual eateries catering for the English abroad there are lots of delicious local alternatives. In the old town we had some fantastic meals. Gazpacho, cod with pureed potato and scallop broth, salmon with roasted vegetables and chicken and dill pasta with cream. Of course Tapas restaurants abound and there is always the accompaniment of fresh bread with aioli (garlic mayonnaise) which is impossible to resist.
One restaurant we tried was the Satyricon in old Alcudia town which had an original Roman mosaic on the floor and had been an old theatre with beautiful frescoes on the wall and ceiling, and classical statues adding to the ambiance. If you are still feeling peckish you could try one of the many types of ice creams and sorbets on offer. My water melon sorbet was absolutely delicious.
Wine wise, there is an excellent choice here and it's much cheaper to buy than in the UK. There is a local Mallorcan wine that is very acceptable and I particularly enjoyed a Tempranillo Rose called Vina Albali. Of course there is also lots of classic Spanish Cava for those who like a bit of fizz.
Mallorca really does have something for everyone. Beautiful beaches, countryside, mountains, markets, history and lovely old towns. There is fine food and wine to be had here as well as something for the tighter budget and of course glorious summer sunshine and a fantastic coastline ideal for exploring by car or motorbike.
Mallorca's pleasant subtropical climate is one of the reasons why the island remains so popular. It doesn't really rain in the summer months at all and has an average of 10-11 hours of sunshine every day. It stays nice right into the autumn months here and the sea also stays warm until October.
My recent visit reminded me why Spain has been a top holiday destination for so long, hopefully I'll be back again before too long!

Una proiezione elettorale consiste nella previsione statistica dei risultati complessivi di un'elezione a partire dai risultati ottenuti in un insieme ridotto e definito a priori di seggi.

A differenza dei sondaggi e degli exit poll, una proiezione elettorale si basa su voti effettivamente dati dagli elettori; anch'essa, però, soffre degli stessi problemi statistici riguardo alla scelta di un campione rappresentativo dell'elettorato. Inoltre è invalso l'uso di fornire proiezioni iniziali quando si ha a disposizione solamente una percentuale ridotta del campione scelto; in questo caso il tasso di errore delle previsioni naturalmente cresce di conseguenza.

Board Recognizes November 2011 Employees of the Month
Sacramento County Office of Education / Administration / Communications Office / Employee Recognition / Board Recognizes November 2011 Employees of the Month
The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) is one of 58 county offices located throughout the state. Approximately 650 regular and more than 950 temporary and substitute SCOE staff work year-round providing services which complement and supplement those offered by public school districts in Sacramento County. Over 230,000 K-12 students are served by public schools in Sacramento County.
Classified Employee of the Month
Darcie Magana, MIS Specialist, and Lynn Twang, Staff Secretary, were nominated as a team by Information Services Coordinator Chris Gilbert for their contributions to the Sacramento County Office of Education. Ms. Magana and Ms. Twang work in SCOE's Student Information Systems and Reporting Department at SCOE's Mather site. Both employees were of tremendous help to SCOE school sites at the beginning of the current year. Starting in July the two were asked to assist SCOE Juvenile Court and Community Schools leadership through a difficult period of transition due to fewer school site support staff, principal re-assignments and new procedures. Their supervisor says, "Darcie and Lynn have done an excellent job supporting our school sites through training, assisting with tasks and identifying new and efficient processes to enroll students and track their information." Both individuals possess strong understanding of the technology used in SCOE attendance programs and have been instrumental in offering new ideas for developing critical reports and new processes; this has resulted in improving how student information is collected, retained and disseminated. The team's combined knowledge and work ethic—and belief that their efforts have an immediate and direct impact on students' education—were key contributors to the successful transition. Thanks to the work of Ms. Magana and Ms. Twang, SCOE students transitioning back to their home districts are able to leave with complete educational records. Concludes their supervisor, "Lynn and Darcie were happy to step up and take on any job—no matter how great or how small—and they helped out wherever the need arose. Both are model employees who consistently show up for work with a positive, professional attitude, regardless of the task at hand. The exemplary efforts of these two have ensured that every enrolled student's current and historical information was captured, stored and available to instructors on the first day of school." Ms. Magana has been a Sacramento County Office of Education employee since January 2001; Ms. Twang has been a SCOE employee since October 2006.
Certificated Employee of the Month
Cindy Tanaka, School Counselor, was nominated by Principal Philip Moore for her contributions to the Juvenile Court Schools program of the Sacramento County Office of Education. Ms. Tanaka serves students who attend SCOE's El Centro Jr./Sr. High School campus located within Sacramento Juvenile Hall. She performs crisis intervention on an ongoing basis, as well as overseeing a comprehensive student counseling program that covers issues such as anger management, life skills, self-esteem, and drug and alcohol use. Among her key responsibilities are assisting with the intake of new students to help ensure that their needs are met, evaluating their transcripts, and assessing their needs and progress. Mr. Tanaka is very devoted to her students and staff and a great example of being a team player by leading by example. Principal Moore states, "Cindy is a great person to work with. She has a can-do attitude and she helps our team out in any way she can. She is truly one of our important cornerstones who helps ensure our continuing progress and success on behalf of students." Ms. Tanaka has been employed by SCOE since August 1998.

I don't get the opportunity to work with the male subject very often, but I certainly enjoy the challenge. The following are some images from my second project with model Zack. He resides in Arizona, but has ties to the Ann Arbor Area. On one of his trips to Michigan, he contacted me for another photo session. He brought a friend with him who was interested in joining the shoot for a few images as well. I was happy to oblige, and I really like the results.


Villagely celebration Johann Anton was born at 29.03.1793 in Klosterfreiheit and has married 1815 in Altstadt (part of Ostritz today) Albertine Friederike Louise Zimmermann, the daughter of the engraver Friedrich Wilhelm Zimmermann from Breslau. He began 1811 his study at the Dresdner Kunstakademie (academy of arts in Dresden) under professor Matthaei. In the year 1818 he got the citizen-rights of Neustadt in Upper-Silesia. Soon after he went to Breslau and worked there for the painter and stoneprinter Johann David Grüson. 1822 he went to Prague, where he visited the Prager Kunstakademie for one year. He stayed in Prague and imparted also draw education in noble houses.
His dexterity was the genre- and portrait-painting as also in the lithography. Here are also any works conserved.
He died at 23.06.1863 in Prague in the age of 70 years and left behind, between others, the son Anton Gareis, who made hisself also a name as an art-painter. Here a short info in Czech language for Anton Gareis jr. .


Cheetahs are the most vulnerable of the world's big cats, with cub mortality as high as 95 percent often due to predation by lions and hyenas. Longterm studies have revealed that in the entire Serengeti ecosystem fewer than 50 cheetah females successfully raise cubs to independence on a regular basis. Here is one of these remarkable "supermoms" scanning the horizon for trouble with a cub next to her.
This Greenlandic dog is not a pet but a working dog the Inuit use for dog-sledding. With the disappearance of sea ice, they have become a burden, which is why some hunters are forced to shoot them. It is too expensive to sustain and feed them throughout the year when they can only use them for shorter and shorter periods of time. I took this portrait while crossing the frozen sea on my way to Siorapaluk, one of the northernmost settlements on the planet.

Billionaire property tycoon who entertained England football stars on his £40m yacht 'claimed up to £6million' taxpayer furlough cash
John Christodoulou claimed furlough money for hospitality businesses
Furlough funds went to shell companies where he was not listed as a director
Christodoulou is one of Britain's richest men with a reported £2billion fortune
The Cypriot recently hosted England's Euro 2020 stars on his £40m yacht, Zeus
By Chay Quinn For Mailonline
One of Britain's richest men claimed up to £6million in furlough money to support staff in his hospitality businesses.
John Christodoulou told a London audience that he had not borrowed any money and had not had to sack anyone who worked for him due to the pandemic, according to The Times.
Mr Christodoulou is one of Britain's richest men with a net worth of over £2billion in May according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
The money was claimed for four shell companies which do not list Mr Christodoulou as a director but are under his control.
Mr Christodoulou owns a £40m yacht berthed in Monaco where the Cypriot billionaire lives
Blue Manchester, Blue Liverpool, YFSCR and Octagon Pier claimed between £1.3million and £2.9million in furlough cash between December 2020 and June 2021.
HM Revenue and Customs have declined to release figures from before December but these four companies would have been able to claim up to £6.5million since the beginning of the furlough scheme in April 2020.
Mr Christodoulou told an event at the National Union of Cypriots in June that: 'We borrowed no money from the government.
'Not just because I didn't feel it's the right thing to do [but] because it shows the wrong sign.'
He also claimed that he did not have to sack anyone who worked for him due to the pandemic.
The Cypriot recently hosted England's Euro 2020 stars Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Declan Rice on his £40million yacht, Zeus.
The Government's job retention scheme was wound up on September 31 and had supported over 11 million jobs which were affected by the Covid pandemic.
Mr Christodoulou (left centre) is known to rub shoulders with stars including boxer Anthony Joshua
Declan Rice recently posted a pictured onboard the Zeus, Christodoulou's yacht, with fellow England stars Luke Shaw and Mason Mount
Mr Christodoulou is the chairman of the Yianis Group and has made his reported £2billion fortune in property after fleeing to the UK as a child fleeing the Turkish invasion of his native Cyprus.
The Yianis Group is a property empire which includes hotels and offices across Europe but particularly in the UK.
Tenants in a Hackney tower block which Yianis Group owns wrote to Mr Christodoulou in October to ask for rent reductions and protested outside five-star hotels which Yianis owns in Canary Wharf.
MailOnline has contacted Yianis Group for comment.

What are the biggest mistakes people make when looking for new career opportunities? originally appeared on Quora - the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Answer by Jenny Blake, Author of PIVOT: The Only Move That Matters is Your Next One, on Quora.
One of the biggest mistakes that pivoters make is jumping straight into scanning activities (looking for specific job opportunities) before really taking time to get clear on what I call the plant stage (think of a basketball player who has one foot firmly planted into the ground while scanning for passing options with the pivot foot).
The plant stage is about identifying known variables: in your experiences up until this point: What's working best? What are my biggest strengths? What are my values? Then look at your ideal state one year from now: What does success look like? What would I be thrilled to learn and become better at?
The more resonant your one-year vision (even if it seems vague at first), the more effective and efficient you will be at scanning for people, skills and projects that relate to it when it's time. Otherwise you'll make the same mistake I did: running around the basketball court without any grounding, thus dragging out your pivot much longer than necessary.

Returnal Gameplay Shown at The Game Awards, Launches March 2021 for the PlayStation 5
Alex Levine December 10th, 2020 - 6:00 PM
It's been a while since we've heard or seen anything in regards to Housemarque's Returnal, but at The Game Awards we got two new new things to see. We finally got to see some gameplay of the game, and not only that, but a release date to boot. Returnal will launch for the PlayStation 5 next year on March 19, 2021.
Roguelike action gameplay with that unmistakable @Housemarque flair. Returnal launches March 19 on PS5: https://t.co/UAb65qoK2D pic.twitter.com/MfXrtBmeB4
While the date may have been leaked ahead of time, it doesn't take away from the breathtaking trailer that we saw. The game will be a third-person action shooter, with elements of a rogue-like to boot. It also combines these mechanics with elements of the horror genre, which only adds to the depth and variety of the gameplay.
We see the main character, a space scout known as Selene, take on numerous enemies while she narrates her never-ending journey on how she continues to do the same thing everyday. Her main objective is to try and find a way out of the loop that she's stuck in, although how she's going to do this is a mystery that we'll have to find out. The action is crisp, clear, and looks amazing, and considering that it's coming to the brand new PlayStation 5, it's more than likely that the game will take advantage of the DualSense controller.
Returnal will officially launch on March 19, 2021 for the PlayStation 5.

No Fees 401k Blog
401k Administration & 401k Recordkeeping Isn't a "High-Margin" Business
Post author By 401kadmin
We have been in the 401k administration and recordkeeping business for over 30 years. We provide small businesses with affordable, quality 401k plans, and charge a fair price for services rendered. What we do NOT do is deduct 401k fees from the employees' personal 401k assets. In 30 years in business, we have never taken a penny of a worker's 401k retirement savings because we think asset-based 401k fees are wrong. Plain and simple.
The truth about the 401k recordkeeping business is that it "should be" a relatively low-margin business, with a revenue stream similar to that of a payroll service provider. You would not expect a payroll service provider to take a percentage of a worker's paycheck as part of its compensation for services rendered. So why do 401k service providers think it's reasonable or fair for them to take a percentage of a worker's retirement savings for their compensation?
Like any payroll service provider, we use a blend of technology and skilled labor to provide an affordable, quality 401k service. We do not resort to extracting 401k fees from employees' 401k accounts. We do not understand why venture capital firms have invested so heavily and aggressively in 401k provider start-ups unless they are counting on earning significant profits 401k fees in the future.

New benchmark in education metropolis
Innovative design in Paramount Utropolis promotes integration and walkability.
The vibrant Utropolis Marketplace.
Living up to its aspiration to be the people's developer, Paramount Property's latest integrated development, Paramount Utropolis proves to be a bastion for good tertiary education and a holistic residential address that promotes an uplifting lifestyle.
Located on 21.7 acres freehold land in Glenmarie, Selangor, its winning streak is in its development concept as a university metropolis that takes the cue from successful university townships around the world.
University townships stay vibrant and continue to be energised by students' activities, and the developer has taken the necessary measures to ensure that Paramount Utropolis has all the hallmarks of a good university metropolis.
In fact, university townships never grow old; they gain stature and eminence as the universities in these areas mature. And this concept generates economic spin-offs with businesses being set up to meet the needs of the local community.
The educational precinct of Paramount Utropolis draws its inspiration and energy from the KDU University College that anchors it, enriching the lives of the community around it.
(From left to right) Paramount CEO Mr Jeffrey Chew, Paramount chairman and executive director Dato' Teo Chiang Quan and Paramount Property CEO Mr Beh Chun Chong.
It is one of the premier live-and-learn self-contained integrated developments. Students will benefit from the direct interaction between the KDU campus and the adjoining residential and commercial activities.
There are nine fully-equipped halls that can house up to 250 students each, 60 state-of-the-art classrooms for classes, tutorials and discussions, 50,000 sq ft KDU University College's comprehensive library, discussion cubes, themed gardens and a 600-bed student village.
The campus is designed with plenty of informal activity spaces, breakout areas such as atrium, sitting stairs and breakout pockets; learning pods in the library equipped with touch screens, for group study and discussions; reading areas and a coffee bar in the library; covered atrium that connects all the internal spaces making it easy for the community to move around; ground floor spaces that are cleverly designed to blend the outdoors and indoors; large open forecourt of about an acre that allows for sporting activities, gatherings and events for the students; themed gardens for discussion and quiet contemplation.
Just-Walk Community
As an integrated development, Paramount Utropolis epitomises the "Live-and-learn, Work-and-play" concept, with well planned amenities located within the neighbourhood's walkability range.
The community contributes to lower carbon footprint due to the 'just-walk' factor that is the result of an integrated, sustainable and liveable environment.
Live-and-learn, work-and-play self contained township anchored by KDU University College.
Beyond the academic, the retail component, Utropolis Marketplace, becomes a centre of entertainment, culture and arts for the Utropolis community and that of the surrounding neighbourhood, thereby promoting diversity and providing the unique Utropolis experience.
The 120,000-sq ft Utropolis Marketplace seeks to meet the everyday needs of the community as well as the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood, complete with alfresco dining, entertainment outlets, grocers, banks and other services.
The residential component comprises of service apartments and small offices home offices (SoHos). The latest launch, Paramount Property's first dual-key concept project, offers owners the various options to live in the property and earn income from the adjacent sections, or rent both sections out separately. The owners can also occupy the premises as two separate units for maximum privacy which inspire the tagline "Live-and-Learn, Live-and-Earn" and "Dual-Key, Dual-Income" of these residences.
Construction of the project started in the third quarter of 2013 and it is scheduled for completion by end-2019.

As a testament that the developer has done a good job in building an integrated, sustainable and liveable project that promotes walkability and the ease of moving around, Paramount Utropolis has clinched StarProperty.my Awards 2016 Honours prize under the Just-Walk Award category.
This award also bears testament to the strength-through-synergy strategy of Paramount Corp Bhd, which reaps synergistic benefits by bringing together its businesses of Paramount Property and Paramount Education.
This is a unique competitive advantage of the Group, which has a track record of more than 30 years in both the property and education businesses. This award will further enhance the Group's strong reputation for quality and value in its business operations.
