Zoning Board of Appeals Denies Addition at 661-661A Tremont St
by Lauren Bennett • January 27, 2022 • 0 Comments
The Zoning Board of Appeal (ZBA) denied a proposal at 661-661A Tremont St. to build a rear addition to the first floor and basement to create more office space for Concept Properties.
Architect James Christopher said that the addition would be "approximately 13 by 13" feet, and a new stairwell would also be created as a second means of egress to "newly reconstructed decks" that would be increased in size. The occupancy and the height of the building will not be changed.
There is an existing head house and the roof deck is for exclusive use by the top floor unit on the fourth floor. The penthouse is also existing, and the wet bar has been taken out of the proposal.
Concept Properties currently occupies space in the basement and on the first floor, and four residential units are above that, Christopher said.
The proposal has the following violations: it's in the Groundwater Conservation Overlay District (GCOD), usable open space is insufficient, the side yard setback is insufficient, excessive Floor Area Ratio, building height is excessive, insufficient rear yard, and extension of the town house/row house.
Christian Simonelli of the Boston Groundwater Trust said that he has received both the approval letter from the Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) and the no harm letter that are required to satisfy the GCOD requirement. The ZBA confirmed receipt of these letters as well.
Kim Crucioli of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services said that "a number of abutters meetings" were held on this proposal, and main concerns from neighbors include issues of privacy, security, size of the addition, and light.
She said that the "abutters also met with the applicant a number of times and couldn't seem to resolve these issues." She also said that "numerous letters of opposition" have been received from abutters and the Pilot Block Neighborhood Association (PBNA). She said the Mayor's Office wants to leave the decision up to the ZBA.
City Councilors Ed Flynn and Michael Flaherty were in opposition to the project.
An abutter on Tremont St., who identified himself as "Korey" on the online meeting said he is opposed to the project, "mainly for the space that extends and the stairwell, as that will definitely exacerbate the parking situation."
Matt Ramey, owner of Concept Properties, said he is in support of the proposal.
Noel Blair of the PBNA said that "we are in opposition to this proposal, which disregards both zoning requirements and abutter concerns."
He said that the "main abutter concerns" are about the lower decks and stair that are proposed for the building's rear. He said these "intrude on privacy."
An abutter on Tremont St., who identified herself as "Kate," said that "our owners are opposed for several reasons," including security and privacy, as well as the responsiveness throughout the community process. This has been going on for a year and a half and we have not seen a lot of concessions within reason to our complaints and concerns."
Christopher explained that the proposed addition "only comes off the building 13 feet. The stairwell only extends about a food and a half beyond that addition. It should also be noted that on the abutting property at 663 [Tremont St.], there is a current addition to the first level so our stairwell would not protrude too far past that."
Additionally, he said that visual screening would be provided on the stairwell, which would primarily be used as a second way of exiting the building.
The ZBA ultimately voted to deny this project.

If gophers or moles are causing damage to your Eagle Rock property and need Pest Control Service For Gophers service call Rodent Guys to rescue your landscaping. Our Pest Control Service For Gophers service in Eagle Rock, CA is offered using pet friendly methods by well trained technicians. Call us at 909-599-4711 to service Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties.
Any gopher control Eagle Rock Ca needs is from the pocket gopher that is the same as a gopher. Almost all destruction is to new plants as they are young, un-established therefore it would not take a lot gnawing for one gopher to destroy or feed on it. Lawn is additionally seriously effected by gophers with damages from both the feeding on the grass along with the earth pushed on the top along with residing on the grass which will smothers it.
Big trees usually takes chewing for a while so no worries. Smaller trees may be destroyed because of a gopher immediately simply because the roots offering the life for your tree are young. You will quickly realize distinct branches of trees or bushes begin to die when ever gophers are damaging it. This is a result of the roots giving life for that area of the plant is harmed or killed by the gopher and without any longer giving life to that section of the plant you will be growing.
Pocket gopher burrows are normally filled with dirt like in the picture above. This helps to tell them apart from other burrowing rodents like ground squirrels. They can create one to three mounds per day reason behind the fact of why you want to eliminate gophers immediately on your yard. Gopher removal (not gofer removal ) is normally done by a qualified pest control company with background in how to eradicate gophers for your yard. Always make sure they have an agriculture pest control license as required by California state law in and not only a structural license.
Gophers eat plants, tree roots, ornamental flowers and vegetables on your lawn – if it's a plant they probably will eatwll consume|like} it. Most damage is to new plants because they are young, un-established and it does not} take much for a gopher to destroy or eat it. Grass is also highly impacted by gophers with destruction from both the eating of the lawn and the dirt pushed on top and sitting on the grass which kills it.
Mature trees can take chewing for a little bit so not to panic. Smaller trees can be destroyed by a gopher in a short time because the roots supplying the life to the tree are young. You will notice certain branches of trees or bushes begin to die off when gophers are eating them. This is caused by the roots giving life to that part of the plant is damaged or killed by the gopher and no longer supplying life to that part of the plant you are growing in.
The best control methods for gopher extermination are burrow fumigants, poison baiting, burrow blasting, Tunnel Fill, and trapping. Trapping, Tunnel Fill and baiting are methods that a home owner can use with limited success. Burrow Blasting is typically performed by a company serious about gophers (we have a Varmint Getter for burrow blasting) due to the expense of the blaster.
Burrow fumigants are very effective but are restricted materials in, only available to and used by licensed technicians like us. Burrow fumigants are not the same as the smoke bombs from the hardware store which are not very effective.
Poison baits used by agriculture pest control operators are much higher concentration and effective than what is obtainable to a homeowner. The main reason to hire a gopher expert is the knowledge of what technique to use for each property and proper placement of fumigants and or bait for effective removal of gophers.
Flooding can be effective on farms where the whole field is flooded and there is nowhere for a gopher to escape. On your property you are going to try to flood the gopher with a water holse down the opening. The problem is the water typically never fills up the burrow and the gopher simply raises his head above the water line until you begin to think about about the water bill in Eagle Rock and shut off the water off.
There are no repellents in Eagle Rock available at the present time that have been shown to provide good Pest Control Service For Gophers. Several plants, such as gopher purge and cantor bean have been said to offer protection, but these claims have never been authenticated. If they really worked to get rid of gophers no one would be reading this site including you.
Keep gophers out of your garden using physical barriers can be effective for small projects. Any large project, such as placing fencing around the perimeter of your backyard would be cost prohibitive. Plus this would at best only give short-term control. At some point gophers find a way in.
When gophers are causing damage to you Eagle Rock property, they are allowed to be controled by all allowable method. Allowable methods can include gopher traps and poison bait used by the owner or tenant of the property. Any poison bait used to kill gophers must be labeld for gophers on the product label and follow the instructions carefully.
We will come out to provide Pest Control Service For Gophers services in Eagle Rock using the best ways based on each situation such as fumigation. Depending on tunnel locations poison baits are used in place of fumigation of tunnels. Pest Control Service For Gophers is a tough job for the beginner, we have a lot of experience with it.
This is owner of Rodent Guys, Nick Nielsen, with two gophers, one caught in a gopher trap and one controlled with strychnine. Nick and his team of Pest Control Service For Gophers experts will be holding trophies like these at the end of your project.

Last week brought us yet another mass shooting. Our hearts break for the families of the innocents slain inside their house of worship – a place both famous for and targeted because of its historical significance to the African American community.
We mourn for the church's pastor and champion of civil rights, State Sen. Clementa Pinckney; for Tywanza Sanders, a recent graduate in business administration who stood bravely in front of his aunt Susie Jackson when the attack began; for Cynthia Hurd, a regional branch manager of the Charles County Public Library system who dedicated her life to the education of others; for Mira Thompson, who was also a pastor at Mother Emanuel; for Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, a popular teacher and coach as well as reverend at her local church; for retired local pastor Daniel L Simmons; for Ethel Lance a 70 year old grandmother who worked at Mother Emanuel for 30 years; for Susie Jackson, an 87 year old cousin of Lance's and long time member of Mother Emanuel and for Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, the mother of four girls who instilled each of them with a passion for education, adventure and individuality. We mourn, along with the city of Charleston and the rest of the nation, the loss of these nine beloved members of Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) church.
We are in awe of the grace and forgiveness shown by the families in the face of such crushing heartbreak.
Their loved ones came to that church to pray, to study Christian forgiveness and love and were instead met with guns and hate. We have too much of both in our country. We have too much of both in our state. This terrorist was able to bring his plan to fruition because a person who should not have been able to purchase a firearm was able to easily acquire one.
The terrorist used birthday money to legally purchase a gun despite a pending drug charge for illegal possession of a prescription medication used to treat opiate addiction.
Every day, 88 Americans die because of a bullet. Every year, over 30,000 Americans die from a gunshot wound. Even more are injured. Some are unintentional shootings, some are domestic violence shootings, some are murder-suicides, some are suicides, and some are homicides. There is no single solution to the multi-faceted problem of gun violence but they do share a single commonality: access to guns.
Each day, 8 American children die by gunshot- nearly 3,000 per year. Even more are injured. Many of those children are shot "accidentally" when an adult gun owner leaves a loaded gun where a child can find it. Here in Tennessee, since January alone, there have been at least 12 unintentional shootings involving children. Some of them remain hospitalized and will require long term care and rehabilitation. Five of them died. The two youngest victims were 2 and 4.
Here in Tennessee, politicians don't want to talk about guns unless it is to pass bills written for them by the gun lobby. Bills that make it easier for people to purchase more guns and carry them more places.
The gun lobby and the lawmakers in Tennessee are afraid to confront the real cost of gun violence in our state. They are afraid to discuss the human cost in loss of life. They are afraid to discuss the medical costs to care for the lucky souls who inexplicably survive the initial attack and somehow make it to the long term care and rehabilitation stage.
They are afraid because the numbers are staggering.
A recent study concluded that gun violence cost Tennesseans $6,393,431,000 in 2012. Compare that to the $3.7 million spent on transportation, the $3.8 million spent on protection, or the $3.7 million spent on welfare.
Stand with us. Join The Safe Tennessee Project and take action. We are currently seating an advisory board comprised of doctors, mental health professionals, researchers, and other community leaders who are passionate about this issue.
We are working with States United to Prevent Gun Violence, a national coalition of state gun violence prevention organizations. We are working with organizations around the country to address the gun violence in our country and in our states.
Gun violence prevention is a complicated issue. There are no easy answers. But, doing nothing is not an option. It can't be.
We need to talk about gun violence. It's time.


Computed Tomography (CT): CT scan is the workforce of advanced medical imaging. They enable better management of patient care including high-quality image, dose guidance and regulation, and expansion of cardiac and brain imaging. Technology in CT has evolved from a single slice scanner to ultra-fast multidetector CT scanners reducing the acquisition time, increasing the spatial resolution along with modifications to reduce patient radiation dose. The potential of dual energy CT is also an exciting development that offers great promise.
Tomosynthesis or 3D mammography: It allows three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the breast tissue, which can then be viewed as sequential slices through the breast. This new technique reduces error and allows a thorough examination of even dense tissue and facilitates detection of tiny lung nodules and chest pathologies that can go undetected with conventional methods.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI's applications are widely used for assessment of hepatic stiffness and the stage of fibrosis in patients with liver disease. It can assist as a safer, less expensive, and accurate alternative to an invasive liver biopsy which is currently the standard for diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis.
Cloud Technology: It enables electronic medical records to be placed on Cloud platforms to seamlessly share information with healthcare providers for completely integrated patient care.
3D Printing and Computer Aided Design: 3D-printing technique allows clinicians to produce highly detailed models of human anatomy for better planning of complex surgical cases using the data acquired from CT images.
Exciting trends in medical imaging will continue to impact the medical landscape as mobile applications, IoT, analytics, big data, and other innovations continue to unfold.

Amount of maps is also impressive, plus there are tons of new releases, also players can create their own maps, this is very interesting feature indeed. Game also is pretty funny and hilarious, dark humor, iconic characters and things like that can entertain any gamer.
Probably main reason why it is so high rated is because it brings nostalgia to all people from 90s, when we used to play Tanks game on our old consoles. It was awesome time and memories from our childhood bring happiness and joy. Tank Trouble is also pretty entertaining game, graphics are awesome, physics of the game look decent: movements, shooting, ricochet, etc.
Unlike other two games above this one has less action in it, but don't worry game is still very interesting and it tests your ability to think outside the box. This game brings very unique and funny questions, solving them is one epic experience. Game has many different releases and versions starting from part one up to part 5. Most likely we will see new versions of the game as well in the future.
Yeah this game is pure adrenaline and mind-blowing fighting, jumping, shooting, casting spells and all the crazy stuff. In order to become pro in this game you will have to bring your skill to the highest levels possible, you will have to improve your reaction and solve different objectives as fast as it is possible. Oh and just when you thought game can't get any better, it has all the popular characters from anime shows, PC games and cartoon! Naruto, Sonic, Mario, Ichigo and many more can be found in this game (and they all have different unique attack abilities).
If you are big fan of RPG games this game is for you. Unlike other complicated game that requires installation, takes a lot space and good PC hardware, Stick RPG is simple, free online game, you just load it is the browser and play without a lot of hassle and trouble. Even thought game is super simple it has a lot of different stuff in it, it has jobs, it has education system, it has bank system and all other important stuff that you encounter in real life. You main objective in the game is to to develop your character, increase its stats, improve his physical abilities and things like that.

How LA's go-to garden guru plans to grow
industry insider | Jul 25, 2019 |
By Arianne Nardo
Stephen Block doesn't have time to relax. The founder of Inner Gardens, Los Angeles's lush emporium for plants, planters, antiques and garden objets may have created one of the city's most serene design destinations, but he's not lounging in the canopied courtyard. On a recent July morning, when most people were applying aloe vera to sunburned skin, Block had a client meeting and sites to visit—and some growing to do.
Stephen BlockCourtesy of Inner Gardens
For more than 20 years, the landscape designer has been a sought-after collaborator for notable names like Kathryn Ireland, Scott Shrader and Martyn Lawrence Bullard. He's known for his impeccable eye and globally sourced, curated pieces (like terra cotta lines from Italy and Belgium), as well as his own branded Inner Gardens collection—all high-end and to the trade. "I've positioned myself that way for two reasons," says Block. "One, if we had another recession, we could still work; and two, I wanted to be able to play at a level where I could buy the things that I loved. The things that I love are expensive. They just are."
Garden is a unique category. Unlike the relative predictability of lighting, rugs or even outdoor furnishings, there are no high-volume assurances in the niche garden business. It takes a special designer and an equally sophisticated client to appreciate the value in a planter that costs $10,000. "Nobody has to buy garden furnishings and accessories," says Block. "The challenge is to present them as a want … a desire … a luxury that they want to have."
Operating at the tippy-top of the market also requires strategic thinking. In 2000, Block expanded his business beyond landscape design and vintage sales into manufacturing, with his Inner Garden collection. It began as a single item, the lemon pot, a reproduction of a 19th-century French terra cotta planter. Originally, making new things was just about practicality: "When you're dealing with the one-off antique and vintage market, you may find two but you're not going to find 10 of something. In order to put together a landscape, I need 10 or 12 of the same items," says Block. Now the full collection encompasses 100 designs.
After years of focusing on 19th-century reproductions, feeling the market shift, Block has turned his attention to more contemporary designs. "No one is buying Victorian iron any longer," he says. "Everyone is buying pieces that are clean, clear, simple, unadorned. So, we're going for a lot of texture and a lot of architecture in terms of plant material and decoration particularly." His new Modern line is a testament to that style, with pure, sculptural, unembellished forms that are meant to live in a variety of design environments.
Inner Gardens is undergoing a growth spurt, including new talent, a new marketing strategy and a revamp of its wholesale line. After a successful run with Treillage, Bunny Williams's much-adored New York boutique that closed five years ago, Inner Gardens is jumping back into the wholesale game. "From a business point of view, that line is scalable," says Block. "Landscape design is not. Every time you get a new job, you're starting from scratch."

The wholesale business is a completely different ballgame, Block concedes, especially for garden accessories—a category that may not be top of mind for most sales floor staff. "It's a hard business, because our designs are accessories and the showrooms like to use them as decoration," he says. If the salespeople aren't really behind it …" he trails off, allowing inevitable conclusions to be drawn.
To meet the obstacles of wholesale, Block has brought in new talent. Experienced in the garden and nursery world as well as retail, Jana Feifer will spearhead the wholesale endeavor. "What attracted me to Inner Gardens was the product," she says. "My background is in product design and development, and I had never seen anything like the pieces Stephen has collected. I knew that there was a real market for it."
Their new marketing strategy is to bring Block more clearly into consumer view. Despite being a text message away from the industry's most vaunted designers, Block has always conferred a kind of discreet insider status. Changing that and raising his profile is key, says Feifer. "When I came on board and saw the role Stephen plays with well-known designers and others who call him to consult and work on high-end projects, I realized his potential quickly. He's the go-to industry guy," she says. "Therefore, his collection should be the go-to product. I would like to see Stephen featured with retailers such as Thompson + Hanson, Garde and other high-end [purveyors]—retailers whose strategy is to familiarize their clients with the person behind the brand."
The pair are already meeting with consultants to reimagine the Inner Gardens social media accounts, starting with the industry's favorite gateway drug: Instagram. "Instagram is the most relevant platform now for design, inspiration and sales," says Feifer. "It's a great way to showcase product in context. You can [easily] see the vision and identity of the brand. … The best way to differentiate yourself is to create one that people can identify with by having a representative carry the spotlight."
Taking a company that's been quietly revered by the trade for almost three decades into trending hashtag territory is one of several new demands on Block's time. But he is ready for it. "I am the face of Inner Gardens and I never capitalized on that. It's now time to show the complete story."

After spinning its wheels most of the session on Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled into the close along with the S&P 500, leaving the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 in the plus column. All the major equity indices are near record high levels. It's not unusual for an individual stock or index to pullback after several unsuccessful attempts to break through key resistance points.
I'm not sure that will happen this time. As it stands now, there must be a few runs at records for the market indices. As for luring cash off the sidelines, that happens with big breakouts, which trigger a sense that the train is leaving the station. For now, there is an eerie calm that's part midsummer blahs, part never-ending fear-mongering, and part of a need for clear catalysts.
I think it would be a mistake to confuse this calm with overconfidence or complacency.
Investors are aware of all the issues. The market isn't ignoring the cries of those that promised a market crash at the onset of the tariff battle. Instead, the market sees the big picture - and it's a marvelous picture, indeed.
The Fed continues to wind down its balance sheet. In the most recent week, it climbed $2.4 billion to $4.258 trillion. Since October, the Fed has managed to shed $202.4 billion from its balance sheet, but the problem has been mortgage-backed securities (MBS). These weapons of mass destruction were at the heart of the financial meltdown are proving tougher to shed than expected.
The experts were looking for an MBS balance of $1.680 trillion by the end of July; instead, it's hovering at $1.710 trillion, down $58.6 billion since October. There is a growing chorus of mavens that are saying the Fed should be more aggressive at hiking rates, so they have the tools to fight the next recession, which they create from being too aggressive with their rate hikes.
July CPI was up 0.2% in July, in-line with consensus. Year over year, its up 2.9%, unchanged from June. However, core-CPI, which excludes food and energy, also increased 0.2%, and year over year, it is up 2.4%, the hottest read since September 2008. This read is above the Fed's longer-term inflation target and adds further fuel to the potential for aggressive rate hikes.
The markets are under pressure this morning and all the major indices are firmly in the red as the Turkish lira plummets and inflation jitters weigh on investors.

Enabling More Science, Faster
View All Annual Report Articles
A modern, web-based user interface led by our engineers allows astronomers to analyze data about exoplanets more quickly.
Astronomers often pull data from several resources while conducting research about an astronomical object. Beginning in 2018, the process became much easier for those who study exoplanets. The Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) released Exo.MAST, a web-based user interface that provides data and services to the exoplanet community. Users are able to find and download targeted multi-mission exoplanet data, accompanied with data visualization and analysis tools. The regular addition of new data means that observations made by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which began pouring data into MAST this fall, also now appear in Exo.MAST.
In the case of exoplanet WASP-18 b, this means you can rapidly display (and access) data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), the Hubble Space Telescope, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and TESS—from ultraviolet to infrared light. Better yet, much of it is represented in dynamic phase-based data coverage plots, which means it's easy to determine which observations occur at critical points of a planet's orbit and whether they are at the same orbital phase as other observations shown.
The team created Exo.MAST using an agile approach for the software development, which included automation, continuous integration/continuous delivery, and is built on a modern microservices architecture on Linux. The microservices operate and may be deployed independently, which isn't permitted by traditional, service-oriented architectures. The new architecture also makes it significantly easier to deploy new versions or new services independently and more frequently. The result is a state-of-the-art, industry-standard example of a system microservices architecture.
This architecture also allowed a tight feedback loop, permitting astronomers to provide their input at frequent integration points. Engineers implemented and deployed software updates continuously, completing the project in six months. Now, when a contributor comes up with a new idea, it is easy to integrate into the project. In fact, engineers may add hundreds of new services to Exo.MAST in the future.
This engineering project is only one example of our work that led to significant collaboration, quick reviews and turnarounds, and a slew of creative solutions—and meant the team was buzzing with excitement and satisfaction, all while benefiting the astronomical community.

Just starting to collect my thoughts here. I've had a love/hate relationship with elections for awhile now. Time to explore this more and write it all out.
Rousseau already observed that this form of government is more accurately an 'elective aristocracy' because in practice the people are not in power at all. Instead we're allowed to decide who holds power over us. It's also important to realise this model was originally designed to exclude society's rank and file. Take the American Constitution: historians agree it 'was intrinsically an aristocratic document designed to check the democratic tendencies of the period'. It was never the American Founding Fathers' intention for the general populace to play an active role in politics.
It's not surprising that American 'democracy' exhibits dynastic tendencies – think of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Bushes. Time and again we hope for better leaders, but all too often those hopes are dashed. The reason, says Professor Keltner, is that power causes people to lose the kindness and modesty that got them elected, or they never possessed those sterling qualities in the first place. In a hierarchically organised society, the Machiavellis are one step ahead. They have the ultimate secret weapon to defeat their competition. They're shameless.
Humankind - Rutger Bregman
I feel like George Carlin would have agreed with Bregman. Here's some gems from Carlin re: politics in America:
If voting changed anything, it would be illegal.
The next time they give you all that civic bullshit about voting, keep in mind that Hitler was elected in a full, free democratic election
Voting is a meaningless exercise. I'm not going to waste my time with it. These parties, these politicians are given to us as a way of making us feel we have freedom of choice. But we don't. Everything is done to you in this country.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, and city halls. They got the judges in their back pocket. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear . . . But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. It's a big club and you ain't in it. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head all day long.

Q: Javascript Splitting string I want to split string into a tab
input:
/offers/BESTOFFERS/FRTNE/FRPAR/2015-01-09?passengers=STANDARD:1&returnDate=2015-01-10&maxVia=0&withThac=false

js:
link.substring(link.indexOf('/BESTOFFERS/') + 12, link.length).split('/[/?&]/');

my output:
["FRTNE/FRPAR/2015-01-09?passengers=STANDARD:1&returnDate=2015-01-10&maxVia=0&withThac=false"]

What is wrong ?

A: If you want to slit you should use split:
string[] linkParts = link.split("/BESTOFFERS/");
string array will contain:
linkParts[0] -> "/offers"
linkParts1 -> "FRTNE/FRPAR/2015-01-09?passengers=STANDARD:1&returnDate=2015-01-10&maxVia=0&withThac=false"

Residential home Sales-At the top of the list for the most commonly used, the buyer and seller should use someone that is knowledgeable of the location they are interested in.
New home sales-Many builders will employ staff to handle the sale. Can be beneficial and may save money for a buyer as long as you keep in mind the salesperson will not be representing your interest.
Commercial Sales-this is very specific and your agent should come with proven results of qualification in this field. You can search local real estate boards for agents in this alliance.
Land and farm-Another specialty market and I recommend using an agent with a proven resume of knowledge in this phase.
Resort properties-Some may offer onsite sales representatives that can be very helpful since these properties typically have ownership regimes, rules and limited financing options.
Real estate agents make a great effort to build a referral database of past customers and clients. You may simply find the right agent just by asking family, friends and co-workers for a recommendation.
Always take the time to interview an agent or maybe three. Ask the agent to bring a business resume with references to the interview. You may also ask for a marketing plan to sell, or a summary of their negotiating skills if you are a purchaser. You should not base your decision to hire an agent based on the value they presented of a property unless a prepared analysis is reviewed.
During the interview you should discuss the fee for the service and the terms of your employment agreement. Fees are typically paid on a percentage of a sales price, but some brokerage firms offer a menu of services that are a set rate. An example of a set rate service may be when a buyer or seller already has the negotiations done on a property but needs a professional to take it through the steps to a successful closing.
The relationship between you and your agent should be comfortable and trust worthy. If it is not that way, you can almost be sure it is a mutual feeling. Some folks just don't click.
Real estate laws vary from state to state, and agents are likely to take required continuing education. So whether the agent is new to the business or a seasoned professional you should be confident that they are keeping your best interest in mind.

The visual white matter: The application of diffusion MRI and fiber tractography to vision science.
Rokem A., Takemura H., Bock AS., Scherf KS., Behrmann M., Wandell BA., Fine I., Bridge H., Pestilli F.
Visual neuroscience has traditionally focused much of its attention on understanding the response properties of single neurons or neuronal ensembles. The visual white matter and the long-range neuronal connections it supports are fundamental in establishing such neuronal response properties and visual function. This review article provides an introduction to measurements and methods to study the human visual white matter using diffusion MRI. These methods allow us to measure the microstructural and macrostructural properties of the white matter in living human individuals; they allow us to trace long-range connections between neurons in different parts of the visual system and to measure the biophysical properties of these connections. We also review a range of findings from recent studies on connections between different visual field maps, the effects of visual impairment on the white matter, and the properties underlying networks that process visual information supporting visual face recognition. Finally, we discuss a few promising directions for future studies. These include new methods for analysis of MRI data, open datasets that are becoming available to study brain connectivity and white matter properties, and open source software for the analysis of these data.

It is well laid out with this css in all browsers, except in Internet Explorer where the margin top of "subtitle-number" shows it almost stuck to the margin-bottom of the box it belongs to.
Here I leave a link to a codepen with the design.
https://codepen.io/CharlieJS/pen/dyXyBBe
and an image of how it looks in Internet Explorer
How can I adjust the design to display in all browsers?
Why is the margin-bottom higher in IE?
thank you all for your time and help

A: This is created by display: flex; in class .subtitle-number. So just remove it and it will work fine.
Try to set this class wit top & left like:
.subtitle-number {
      position: absolute;
      font-family: "RalewayRegular";
      font-weight: normal;
      font-size: 12px;
      /*display: flex;
      margin-top: 40px;*/
      top:70%;
      left:50%;
      transform: translate(-50%, 30%);
    }

As position absolute is better set with top, right, bottom, left. It seems to work fine by me on w3schools on IE11.

A: The absolute property is set in this style but the coordinate value is not set. Because of the different calculation methods such as element position parameters in different    browsers, the results are not the same in different browsers.
At this time, it is not necessary to use relative positioning, but to have a certain coordinate. Please modify the .subtitle-number style as following:

NATHPA-JHAKRI: The largest and the longest headrace tunnel, the largest desilting chambers, the deepest and the most voluminous surge shaft, the largest underground power complex (with six Francis turbine units of 250 MW each) are some of the unique features of the 1500 MW Nathpa-Jhakri hydroelectric project in Himachal Pradesh, being executed by the Nathpa-Jhakri Power Corporation (NJPC).
On completion the largest hydroelectric power project in the country would generate around 6,700 million units of electricity in a 90 per cent "dependable" year. The power station would charge tariff comparable with the best power stations in the country.
The project, located in Shimla and Kinnaur districts, was conceived by the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB) during the seventies. The original approved cost estimate at September 1988 prices was Rs 1678.02 crore.
The first revised cost estimate at March 1993 prices was approved by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for Rs 4337.95 crore with the completion date set for December 1998.
Subsequently the second revised cost estimate at June 1998 prices was approved for Rs 7666.31 crore with commissioning of all units set for March 2002. The third revised cost estimate of Rs 9083.34 crore at September 2001 prices submitted to the Central Government for approval last December envisaged the commissioning of all six units by July 2004.
The Central Water Commission (CWC) and CEA supported the project as its principal consultants, while Electro Watt (Switzerland), Nippon Koei (Japan) and Wapcos India are its retainer consultants. In addition, the project also gets advice from reputed organisations such as the National Institute of Rock Mechanics and the Central Power Research Institute.
There were considerable delays in obtaining the various requisite statutory clearances and environmental and the forest clearances for the project. Contracts for the major civil works and electro-mechanical works were awarded only in 1994. Since the very beginning of the execution, the project experienced various hurdles and setbacks resulting in inordinate delays in various project activities.
The working on the project was also hampered due to flash floods. The flash floods of August 1997 and August 2000 led to extensive loss to the project, both in terms of time and money. In the early hours of August 1, 2000, the flash flood that struck the project caused so much destruction to the dam as well as the power-house that the World Bank at its review meeting had almost written off the project. But, soon after its takeover by the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation, the NJPC sprung back into action against all odds and completed all restoration works to the pre-flood level, both at the dam site as well as at the power-house.
The major indicators of accelerated progress of project activities since April 2001 to date are the 70 p.c. dam concreting, 81 p.c. headrace and 100 p.c. surge shaft concreting. All the flood-affected equipment were dismantled from July 2001 to February 2002.
According to Mr Yogendra Pradesh, Chairman and Managing Director of the NJPC, who also heads the NHPC, the erection activities are going round the clock. Long pending organisational and employee-related issues have been resolved, and all civil, mechanical and other technical works have been finalised. Besides, both physical and financial targets have been enhanced.
Two units are planned to be commissioned this December, two units in July 2003 and another two units in December 2003.
At its last two review missions held in October 2001 and March 2002, the World Bank has commended the phenomenal progress of works at the project sites and has expressed its full satisfaction
The Chief Minister, was speaking on the occasion of the passing out parade at Police Training College, Daroh near Palampur. "We are not just providing ample funds for the modernisation of the force and maintenance of police stations, but are trying to provide housing and other facilities to police personnel," he remarked. He said apart from setting up four model police stations in the state a sum of Rs 39 crore had been spent on improving the condition of police stations.
The Chief Minister disclosed that while 906 staff quarters had already been constructed, work on a number of residential colonies was in full swing .
Mr Dhumal said in order to strengthen the police force, 300 constables would be recruited, besides promoting 2,200 to the post of head constable. He added that housing facility would be provided in all police stations in a phased manner.
The Chief Minister lauded the community policing scheme launched in the state and added that this had helped in winning the confidence of the public. He urged policemen to work with dedication, sincerity and honesty.
The Director-General of Police, Mr A.K. Puri, said reorientation courses were being organised to impart the latest knowledge to the police personnel.
The Chief Minister later gave away prizes to Mr Tej Prakash of II nd IRB for over all-first, constable Suresh Kumar of IInd IRB for indoor first, Constable Nirmal Kumar of IIIrd battalion for outdoor first and Constable Rajeev Kumar of IInd IRB for commanding the parade. The IG Armed Police and Training, Mr Deepak Bhagai, administered the oath to the passing out contingent.
Mr Tyagi, while addressing a press conference here said that crores of dollars being provided to groups in India by Christian and Muslim countries to wipe out Hinduism. He alleged that the multinational companies had uprooted the national industry and their money was being used to allure poor Hindus to embrace Islam and Christianity.
Mr Tyagi, was here in connection with a Hindu sammelan organised by the Hindu Suraksha Manch.

In the HAS preliminary examination held in June 2001 and September 2001, the candidature of these two was cancelled by the HPPSC. They had opted for public administration as the optional subject for the preliminary examination.
They had approached the administrative tribunal against the dismissal of their petition by the commission tribunal. The high court had directed the HPPSC to allow the petitioners to sit in the HAS (Main) examination and evaluate their preliminary examination papers.
The result of the preliminary examination taken by these two petitioners was produced in the court today, in which both had qualified. The high court directed the HPPSC to evaluate their HAS (Main) papers and consider them if they qualified.
Health Minister J.P. Nadda today paid a surprise visit to the local Deen Dayal Upadhaya Hospital.
The minister, on the complaint of a patient that he has been asked to purchase medicine from the market by the tuberculosis unit of the hospital, ordered an inquiry into the matter.
He also directed the authorities to take strict action against an assistant in the accounts section of the hospital for being absent from his duty.
Mr Nadda also visited the laboratory and sexual transmitting diseases clinic and found that no disposable recycled syringes were being used in the laboratory.
He reviewed the revised national tuberculosis control programme and was satisfied with its implementation.
The minister interacted with the patients. PTI
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said check dams would be constructed, bio-diversity would be preserved and traditional water sources would be replenished under the project.
Besides, it would also help in raising the water table and increase the discharge of water in small rivulets, he added.
The project was envisaged to be completed in two years. PTI
Mr Ansari appealed to make the abhiyan a success.
On the occasion, Mr R.K. Duggal, Principal DIET and Project Officer of the DPEP, said under the programme several new middle schools would be opened in which there would be arrangements for education of children of Gujjars and children of other such categories who did not stay at one place. Children in the age group of 6 to 14 years would be covered under the programme.
This was stated by Ms Shyama Sharma, Vice-Chairperson, HP Planning Board, while addressing a function organised to pay tributes to the martyr. She said at the age of 23, Baru Ram sacrificed his life for the country during the Indo-Pak war in 1965.
She lauded the widow of the martyr, Ms Soma Devi, for donating the grant received by her from the government for the development of the village. A sum of Rs 9.80 lakh had been sanctioned for the improvement of the potable water scheme of the village, she added. A Rs 40-lakh lift irrigation scheme had also been proposed for the village, she added.


University of Evansville alumnus Nathan Darrow portrays a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
Behind the political force of Frank Underwood on the Netflix original series "House of Cards" is the stoic and ever-present force of Edward Meechum. University of Evansville alumnus Nathan Darrow plays Meechum, a U.S. Capitol Police officer assigned to protect Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, and his wife Claire, portrayed by Robin Wright. It's a role that the 38-year-old Brooklyn, New York, resident calls "challenging and exhausting" because of the silent internal rumbling of the character he portrays in the political drama series based in Washington, D.C.
Darrow, a native of Kansas City, earned his bachelor's degree in theater performance and literature from UE in 1998 before continuing his training at New York University where he received his master of fine arts degree. His extensive resume includes starring roles in numerous plays such as, "Richard III," which was performed at London's Old Vic, among other venues. In "Richard III," Darrow acted alongside Spacey, who played Richard, which introduced Darrow to "House of Cards." The award-winning series debuted in February 2013 and returns for its third season Feb. 27 on Netflix.
How did the University of Evansville Department of Theatre shape your career?
Going to Evansville prepared me to audition for conservatories. I ended up at a conservatory in New York (New York University). I'm sure I wouldn't have the career I have if I hadn't come to New York when I did. As an actor, I certainly developed quite a bit (at UE) due to the extraordinary talent and efforts of the faculty.
What led you to your decision to study in Evansville?
I had auditioned for John David Lutz the summer before I graduated high school (Shawnee Mission North High School in Overland Park, Kansas). I started talking with him and eventually I visited the campus for a long weekend. I actually will never forget sitting in on John David Lutz's acting classes and seeing the work to me that was incredibly impressive and mind-blowing and at the end of that work, he was pointing out what was working and him saying, 'Here's where you can go deeper. Here's where you can go harder.' It confirmed to me that I was at a serious place where the work of acting was viewed as something that could take a lifetime of exploring and finding its roots.
What roles did you play while at UE?
I was in a couple Shakespeare plays. There was an "As You Like It" (Jacques) and "Macbeth" (Banquo). I played Konstantin Treplev in "The Seagull" pretty poorly, but I got the shot to do it, which was cool. I was in a couple studio shows. I had a lot of opportunities there, in fact. I got the chance to do a lot of different things.
What classic role do you really want to play?
There are so many I want to play. There's a couple I want to do again. I would like to play Biff Loman in "Death of a Salesman." I would like to play Tom in "The Glass Menagerie." I would like to play Edmund Tyrone in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" again. I got to do it once a few years back. I think I got somewhere with it but I would love to get back at it. There are those parts that kind of stay with you in a weird way. They are still offering their secrets and I would love to hammer it out.
Talk about the all-star cast of Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey. What is it like working closely with them?
It's extraordinary. They are two actors who are really playing above the rim. They work intensely and seriously but at the same time, they work with a lot of joy and fun. They challenge each other and they enjoy that challenge. They really bring all of us up, too. They are actors who really want the scene to happen when the cameras roll … It is very exciting to be making it right there. We are all trying to do our best work, and sometimes, we don't, and that's that. They hold it lightly and you count yourself fortunate. They are both fantastic examples of that.
What's it like to play Edward Meechum?
It is challenging emotionally to play someone who keeps himself so very close to the chest, but still to know that he has come out of an experience — a kind of incredible and intense experience that he lives with — for that to simply vibrate in him and rumble in him without direct expression as of yet is challenging and exhausting. I am really happy to go at it every day I'm on set regardless of what I'm doing. I am very happy for the opportunity to take up the story of this guy right there in the moment. He definitely has stuff in there that's not worked out and that's a weird place to inhabit. You have that place in life but to actively go there is kind of something else.
Your role expanded in the second season. Tell me about your screen time and role in the third?
You will find out all that Feb. 27. That's all I can tell you.

Naturally sweetened, flourless Banana Blender Muffins include oats, Greek yogurt, and honey in a batter that effortlessly comes together in the blender!
I'm officially declaring 2018 the Year of the Blender Muffins. Sure, they've been around for a good while. But this is the year I find myself making them about every other week. So quick…so easy…so yummy…so wholesome! In other words, I'm completely and utterly SOLD.
Because who's going to argue with throwing some ingredients in your blender, turning it on for a few seconds, and then pouring the resulting batter straight into a muffin pan? It really is that simple. One receptacle to wash and oven-ready in less than five minutes.
Back at the beginning of the year, I shared a recipe for Healthy Applesauce Blender Muffins. But if I'm being perfectly honest, I typically only make that variation of blender muffins when I don't have any overripe bananas on hand. Those applesauce muffins are great, but these Banana Blender Muffins are my favorite.
They're flourless, since they start with oatmeal (and if you use GF oatmeal, they're also gluten-free). They're free of refined sugar, since they're naturally sweetened with bananas and honey. And instead of using oil, they include a dollop of Greek yogurt to get even more good stuff in there.
These Banana Blender Muffins are slightly denser and a little bit sweeter (thanks, bananas) than the applesauce version. But they're also perfectly complemented by chocolate, should you wish to add some.
I just blend up my batter, toss in a handful of mini chocolate chips, and give everything one last quick pulse. Then I sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top of each muffin once the batter is in the liners. A teensy amount of chocolate chips is all I have to add to make my kids feel like their healthy, wholesome muffins are actually a decadent snack or breakfast treat.
If you've been hanging around Five Heart Home for awhile, you may recall that I have a thing for banana baked goods, from muffins to bread to breakfast bars to cake to oatmeal. But I can honestly say that these Banana Blender Muffins just might rank up there as my easiest banana recipe to date!
And that's saying a lot. Because the hardest part of making these muffins is measuring the ingredients. Or maybe it's pouring the batter. Or perhaps it's waiting for them to come out of the oven? Yes, actually, the waiting is the hardest part.
Ooops, my apologies! Sometimes my train of thought is derailed by the loop of music that incessantly runs through my head. RIP, Tom P.
Anyway, back to these dandy Banana Blender Muffins! You'll love them. Your family will love them. And your blender will love you for giving it a new, non-smoothie purpose in life. Enjoy!
You can make this recipe with any blender. Using a Vitamix or a Blendtec, your batter will be ready in a flash. But there are plenty of great blenders available for under $100, like this one or this one or this one.
To help get the batter going, I grind up the oats and then pick up the blender pitcher and tilt it so that the ground oats are along one side. This way when I add the wet ingredients, some of them make it all the way to the bottom of the pitcher (see the photo at the very top of this post, right below the title). This helps the batter to incorporate more quickly. That being said, if ingredients seem "stuck," you may need to use a spatula to give things a scrape and a stir at the beginning and then proceed with your blending.
I typically use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to fill my muffin cups. However, for blender muffins, I simply poured the batter straight from the pitcher into the paper liners. I did figure out that holding a spoon near the spout of the pitcher (while pouring) helped me to catch the batter and prevent dripping when moving from muffin cup to muffin cup.
You may substitute maple syrup for the honey. You may use regular yogurt (or even sour cream) instead of Greek yogurt.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
Measure oats into a blender. Blend until the oats are ground into a fine powder, like flour. Shake the ground oats to one side of the pitcher and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, bananas, honey, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla to the blender. Turn on the blender to low speed and then immediately increase to high speed. Blend until the ingredients are just combined, stopping and scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. If using chocolate chips, add half of them at the very end; sprinkle them on top of the finished batter in the blender and quickly pulse one time to incorporate the chocolate chips without chopping them further.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, pouring it directly from the blender pitcher. If using, sprinkle the top of each muffin with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until the muffins test done with a toothpick. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Amazing recipe. I'm pregnant and trying to eat zero sugar so was excited to try these. Made em today and they were a hit with my toddler and husband and my sweet cravings were satisfied!! Do you have any more sugarless or simple recipes like this??
And I have other simple, healthy recipes all over the site, from Main Dishes to Crock Pot to Soups & Salads to Make Your Own Kitchen Staples (all found in the main menu under Recipes subcategories). Hope that helps and have fun exploring!
Would this work if the baking soda was substituted with more baking powder? and if so how much?
Hi, Mir! I don't usually recommend substituting one for the other since they have different purposes in a recipe. It might work, but it might not…and since I haven't tried it, I'm not able to advise. Sorry!

Home Industries Energy & Environment E-cycling a post-holiday option
E-cycling a post-holiday option
Jan 3, 2014 12:00 am
Wired Wisconsin is offering its E-Cycle Wisconsin program for those who received electronic gifts for the holidays and want to dispose of used electronics.
The electronic recycling program, which started in 2010, has collection sites in about 450 locations across the state. The recycled items are sold to recyclers and separated into recyclable parts.
A dated desktop computer and CRT monitor, for example, could yield about 15 pounds of glass, 14 pounds of plastic, 12 pounds of iron, eight pounds of aluminum, four pounds of copper, four pounds of lead and one pound of zinc.
E-Cycle has kept more than 123 million pounds of electronics out of Wisconsin landfills since 2010.
"After all of the holiday gift giving is complete, consumers often find that they have unwanted or old electronics to dispose of," said Thad Nation, executive director of Wired Wisconsin. "It's important that Wisconsin consumers understand the proper methods of recycling these devices. By taking our old electronics to an e-cycling center, we can keep our communities safe from hazardous materials, reduce waste and support local job growth."
A list of e-cycling sites is available here.

A revolutionary new scientific agricultural breakthrough demands an equally revolutionary introduction. Bayer CropScience wanted to launch VOTiVOTM - a breakthrough biocontrol seed treatment in corn, soybeans and cotton - to select growers and seed companies who would use it for testing...providing a firsthand look at its unique protective properties.
Farmers are a notoriously tough crop to market to. They are seasoned specialists with generations of knowledge and first-hand experience. They are typically ambivalent if not downright hostile toward traditional sales materials (particularly when text heavy), tending to be equally as skeptical and distrustful of new products and methods.
Rather than risk disengagement with a mass of scientific text, Americhip and Rhea + Kaiser worked with Bayer to embed Americhip's proprietary Video in Print® technology inside the sales leaflet/insert itself. Upon opening the leaflet, Americhip's proprietary 2.4" screen played a dramatic animated video. Following this, farmers were able (and encouraged) to continue the interaction by pressing chapter buttons that allowed them to browse through short informational bytes of video, presented by Bayer CropScience product managers and well-respected University researchers.
The video brochure delivered a unique sales aid with an impossible to ignore message. It targeted its key demographic perfectly, immediately engaging the audience and holding their attention on an information-heavy subject. The experience was further enhanced by the video's high def quality and crystal clear sound.
What's more, the use of highly credible spokespeople in the short informational videos helped to alleviate the farmers' usual skepticism. This video brochure got the job done, delivering exactly what Bayer wanted to achieve for VOTiVOTM in the agricultural market. Rapid, sustainable growth.

Q: Algebraicity of the canonical projection $X(\Gamma)\to X(1)$ and of $X(\Gamma)$ Let $\Gamma\subset {SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ be a congruence subgroup, and let $X(\Gamma)$ be the associated compact modular curve. The inclusion $\Gamma \subset SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ induces a canonical projection $p:X(\Gamma)\to X(1)$ which is a non-constant holomorphic map of compact Riemann surfaces, where $X(1)=X(SL_2(\mathbb Z))$. The map $p$ ramifies at most over the elliptic points $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $\mu_3=e^{2\pi i/3}$ of $X(1)$ and over the cusp $\infty$ of $X(1)$. Let $d$ be the degree of $p$ and let $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ be an algebraic closure of $\mathbb Q$.
Assumption $(*)$: There exists a smooth, projective and connected curve
$X(\Gamma)_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}$ over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ such that its  base change to $\mathbb C$ corresponds to $X(\Gamma)$.

*

*If assumption $(*)$ is satisfied, does there exists a non-constant morphism $X(\Gamma)_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}\to \mathbb P^1$ of algebraic curves over $\bar{\mathbb Q}$ of degree $d$, which ramifies at most over $i$, $\mu_3$ and $\infty$ (viewed as points of $\mathbb P^1=X(1)_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}$)?

*Is assumption $(*)$ always satisfied?

A: Let $X(\Gamma)\to \mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf C}$ be the composition of the natural map $X(\Gamma)\to X(1)$ associated to the inclusion $\Gamma\subset$ SL$_2(\mathbf Z)$, and the $j$-invariant $j:X(1)\to \mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf C}$. This map is, as you said, ramified over at most three points. Since these three points are algebraic numbers, by a theorem of Grothendieck and Weil, there exists a unique pair $(Y,Y\to \mathbf{P}^1_{\overline{\mathbf Q}})$ with $Y$ a smooth projective connected curve over $\overline{\mathbf Q}$ and $Y\to \mathbf{P}^1_{\overline{\mathbf Q}}$ a finite morphism which gives the natural map $X(\Gamma)\to \mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf C}$ after base-change. If you just want a model for your $X(\Gamma)$ over $\overline {\mathbf Q}$ as a curve (and not as a cover) you have more choice.
The theorem of Grothendieck and Weil is more general. Let $k\subset K$ be an extension of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. Then, for any smooth quasi-projective connected variety $U$  over $k$, the base-change functor is an equivalence of categories from "finite etale covers of $U$" to "finite etale covers of $U_K$". We are applying this theorem to $\mathbf P^1_{k} -\{0,1,\infty\}$ with $k=\overline {\mathbf Q}$ and $K=\mathbf C$.
