We don't always get to keep our best friends. I learned that when Claire realized she wouldn't need me anymore. We were something special, her and I; it seemed as if no power in the world could separate the two of us. She would wake up in a frenzy each morning, her short, fiery hair burning the air around her. This was a sign that she had discovered an adventure for us to go on. Her azure eyes glistened under the light of the sun as they eagerly painted a whimsical world for us to explore. The far off places that she created could only be seen through our eyes. At one time, chiseled palace walls emerged from the earth, breaking through the crust, and scraped against the clouds. At another, vast fields of turquoise carnations bloomed under a violet sky. We visited those realms whenever her imagination conjured them up, and that's where I came from, too.
I met Claire shortly after her second birthday. It wasn't long after that I began to fall in love with her. Now, this is not the kind of love that teenage girls have for their vampire boyfriends or the love that a little boy has for his puppy. It's something deeper. It's the kind of love that a painter has for their masterpiece, an author has for their first novel, or a surfer has for their largest wave. It was the feeling in my chest that caught ablaze when I heard her call my name, or the loss of gravity that stemmed from below my feet when she stared into my eyes. When I looked back at her it was almost as if I could peer right into her mind: the place I was born.
Just like the moments she erected massive castles or populated expansive fields, she created me. I have always thought that her imagination was something exceptional, especially for someone so young. Every world she created, either from the seat of a couch or a swing on the playground, was boundless. Her creativity saw us slaying immense dragons, travelling to the moon, and speaking to various forms of wildlife. Considering all of her creations, though, I knew that I was the most intricate.
Modeled after her favorite animal, my body takes the shape of a giant, fluffy rabbit. Claire only grew to be as tall as my belly, on which I have a bottomless pouch that allows the two of us to retrieve anything that we may need for our journeys. I've fished swords, jetpacks, and, rather painfully, entire yachts out of my gut upon her request. My fur is a deep violet, speckled with spots of green; it's as soft as a lamb's butt, which I personally imagine to be quite divine. I grew tired of always being naked, though, so she and I rummaged through her father's closet and stole one of his striped bow ties. During her first year of preschool, Claire had to wear the ugliest pair of glasses we had ever seen, so to make her feel better, I started wearing a hideous set of my own. That's just what we did for each other: we were there for one another. No matter what.
I guess I was cursed with a sense of naiveté, though, because as she continued to grow up, we stopped adventuring together. Our daily routine faded into a rare, biweekly occasion, and no matter what I did to entertain her, she slowly grew bored of me. It all started when her younger brother, Aiden, was born. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous of him. It was him, afterall, who took my best friend from me. I could feel Claire's mind lose interest in me as she fantasized about the games that the two of them would play. Soon enough, I stopped hearing from her all together, and she began to forget about me. The worst part of my life wasn't the moment I realized that she had forgotten about me; it was when I realized that despite it all, I couldn't forget about her.
As the days turned into months without her, I maintained the hope that I would be given a few seconds of borrowed time to say goodbye. She stopped calling upon me to play with her after Aiden's first birthday. After that, I was abandoned to the darkness of her mind without consciousness or concept of where I went. I imagine it to be the same place that the human brain goes when there aren't any dreams to be had.
I guess I could be considered one of the lucky ones, really. One who was remembered. Though, if I had known why she needed me, I might've preferred to remain forgotten. The sound of her singsong voice beckoning me back to her instilled life in my body as I raced toward it. I appeared to her almost instantly, taking shape in a dimly lit hospital hallway.
"Claire!" I beamed, floating through the air. My heart was a feather.
"He's sick, Jongo, and I don't know what to do." She looked up at me with tears plastered against her freckled face. She was so much bigger than I recalled. Her hair now tickled the surface of her shoulders and her once vibrant eyes were dulled. I didn't realize how much damage two years without me could do.
I did what I always used to when she would cry: I reached into my pouch and retrieved the biggest balloon I could find. I heaved three breaths into it, nearly passing out, and rubbed it against my conditioned fur. Static emerged from its rubber surface and I applied it to my lengthy, cat-like tail. I proceeded to tickle her with it, hoping to force a smile onto her face. She was left unfazed.
I stopped in my tracks, "What's wrong?"
"It's Aiden," she sniffled, "He's really sick and I'm really scared."
"Hey, hey, look at me," I started, coiling my tail around the side of my body and using it to press her chin skyward. Her eyes locked with mine. "Let's talk this through, okay?"
Her voice was weak, but deeper than I recalled. The words spilled from her mouth as she recounted her three-year-old brother's constant fevers and bouts of blood pouring from his nose and mouth. She was trembling between breaths.
"Mom was super scared, but Dad said it would be okay," she said. "The doctors did a bunch of weird stuff to Aiden and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to make everyone feel better again but Mom and Dad say it's serious. It's like, a-cute-lim-blast-loo-keem-ya, or something."
"That's a big word, and you know that my brain is only the size of a carrot," I giggled, trying to make her laugh. It didn't work. What was wrong with me?
"Mom says it's like what happened to Grandma when she got sick with cancer."
My ears deflated. "It's going to be okay," I reassured her.
"Is Aiden going to die, too?"
"Of course not! He's your best friend. We never really lose our best friends."
"Promise?" She looked at me with little confidence.
"Super-Claire-Pinky-Swear," I said, extending my paw.
Just as she was with all of our adventures, Claire was fearless. She took me by the arm and led me through the hall, decorated in posters that could make even the healthiest people fear for their wellbeing. From an open window, a river of moonlight poured across the floor. She stamped her feet around a series of corners until we came upon a small room, glowing in a warm, golden hue. Sounds of hushed conversations traveled out of the doorway.
"JoAnn, what do you want me to say?" The voice of Claire's father reverberated through the room.
Her mother groaned, "Damn it, Roger, I want you to prioritize your family."
"I haven't worked—we haven't worked—in over a week. Someone needs to go back or we're never going to be able to afford to keep our son alive."
"You and I both know that this isn't about keeping Aiden healthy." She started weeping between heavy gasps for air. Something was wrong. I've never heard anyone talk like this before.
As her mother continued her lament, Claire turned back to me with a stone face, "They keep fighting, Jongo. They scream at each other every night before bed."
"It's okay. I'm here now, and nothing is going to hurt you anymore, all right?" I wrapped my fuzzy arms around her, stuffing her face into my bulbous stomach. I coursed my paws through the waves of her amber hair and clenched my eyes shut. For the first time in my life, I wasn't convinced that I would be able to protect her. "Okay. Let's go in together."
Her eyes were irritated behind the tears. "Will you keep me safe?"
"I may have been gone for a bit, but nothing has changed. I'll make sure nothing happens to you. We'll get through this together!" I clutched her hand in mine and marched into the room.
Her parents dropped their voices upon our entrance. Claire's mother was shaking, her face pale and wrinkled under stress; her father's complexion was contorted and red as he bit his tongue. Each of their bodies relaxed slightly as I led Claire to the corner of the room to sit with me.
I nodded my head at her, encouraging her to speak. She lifted her eyes to them and spoke softly, "I don't think Aiden likes to hear you fight all the time." Claire looked back to me and I squeezed her hand in reassurance.
"Oh, God." Her mother looked over her shoulder, acknowledging her son, and collapsed against a wall. She buried her face in her palms.
"Claire," her father started, advancing cautiously toward her, "I am so sorry. We never meant to hurt you, or your little brother. Your mother and I love both of you—and each other—very much." He knelt down next to his daughter and placed his hand on her knee. I released my grip of Claire's hand and allowed her to hold her father's.
"We won't upset Aiden anymore. We promise," Her mother croaked, glancing at her husband and joining the two on the floor.
Claire leaned her head against her mother's shoulder and closed her eyes. I felt my presence in the room begin to fade as she drifted off to sleep. For a moment, I feared that I may never be needed again. I grappled onto my surroundings in an attempt to remain by her side, but my consciousness dissipated with hers.
There were moments in my absence that I wished I could see her, but I knew that if I didn't, it meant that she was okay. When I was ripped from her side with no guarantee that I'd ever be with her again, a piece of my heart tore with me. Selfishly, I considered myself lucky when she called my name nearly a year after our meeting in the hospital. Pieces of me materialized before her, linking together and taking shape in her eyes. I found myself positioned in their home's foyer. It still smelled of apples.
I grinned eagerly down at her, "Claire Bear!"
Her rosy cheeks turned a dozen shades of red, but it wasn't enough to make her smile back. I just wanted to see her face light up one last time. "Jongo," she started, reaching for my paw, "I don't know how to help him."
My heart plummeted. "Aiden?"
"Uh-huh, the doctors said he was better, but they were just a bunch of liars!" Claire's grip tightened around me.
"What happened?" I asked, feeling the bitterness boil under her skin.
Her throat constricted in an attempt to withhold the words from leaving her mouth. She began talking about the assessment of Aiden's condition. There were gleams of her mother's personality and vocabulary in Claire's description of her younger brother. It was as if she relinquished her autonomy to confront the truth. She spoke about the doctor's attempts to target the malignant cells and their ultimate failure to do so.
"They said it would help him, Jongo. But they lied." She started to quiver in my arms. "The poppa-toe-sis didn't work and now he's even worse. I don't want him to die." Tears puddled in her eyes and splattered against the linoleum floor.
"It's okay, Claire. I promise it'll be okay," I told her, feeling my fur become damp under her sobs.
"That's what Mom said, too. Don't make promises you can't keep, remember?"
A sudden throb of irritation came over me. All I wanted to do was comfort her, but I didn't know how to do that anymore. I knew that if I could only get her to play with me, then everything would go back to the way it used to be. Maybe then she and I could be happy again. That's all I wanted. "Claire, let's go outside."
"I don't wanna."
"Please?" She deflected my request with an icy gaze. "Let's go on an adventure."
"There's nowhere to go," she protested.
"There's everywhere to go! Come on, follow me," I said, dragging her resisting heels behind me.
Refusing to release her hands, I paraded us to the backyard. This was it. This was the place that she would smile again. The world around us was oddly silent; the only sounds came from a subtle breeze that harmonized with a lonely cricket's song. I released her hands and sprung about the yard, feeling the wondrous liberty of the open atmosphere. I even attempted to scale a tree, but I forgot that I let myself go once Claire had stopped playing with me. I really needed to work out more.
"Where are we going first?" I mused.
"Back inside," she said, starting to turn away.
"No, wait, Claire, let's figure something out," I begged, watching as she started off. Without warning, a mass of gloomy clouds began to roll above our heads.
"Mom said it was going to rain."
"Come on," I started, leaping in front of her, "we've played in the rain before!"
"I don't want to play anymore, Jongo," Claire's voice was cold. She walked briskly past me.
"But if we play—"
"Then what?" She shouted. "'Then all of our problems will go away?' Mom and Dad said that's not true. No one listens to me. No one cares about me." She dug her toes into the dirt. A brisk wind swept beneath her arms and uprooted her from the earth, wisping her into the air. She was flying.
"Claire, look! You—you have wings!" I hollered, watching as magnificent feathered appendages emerged from her back and launched her skyward. She was an angel. There was still a piece of her imagination left, afterall.
"I made them to get away," she announced.
"From what?" I called back, watching her retreat further into the foreboding clouds.
"Everything! Mom and Dad and Aiden and the doctors and you." Her voice shred through me mercilessly. This was worse than being unneeded. I was unwanted.
The clouds around us condensed and raindrops cascaded from above. In the distance, a bolt of lightning was etched into the sky in a fury, splitting through the incoming storm. I looked up once more, unable to see Claire. I knew that I wouldn't disappear no matter how badly she wanted to forget me; that was when she would remember me the most. My body trembled above the waning support of my weak knees. I loathed the thought of surviving without her love.
I reached into my pouch, hopeful to find something that would take me to her, but nothing transpired within me. Without Claire's imagination, I had nothing. I toppled backwards against the damp grass. I lied wondering, for what seemed like hours, what I did wrong. I knew that I would do anything to have her back. My heart did something that was worse than ache. It stopped. And for a moment, I felt nothing.
My ears perked up at the sound of a car approaching the driveway. Its headlights glared in my eyes and the wheels squealed to a stop just outside the garage. "Oh, for God's sake, she left the door open again. Claire!" Her mother shouted as she emerged from the vehicle. She anxiously extended her umbrella under the pouring rain.
"Mom?" I heard Claire's voice chime from overhead. She glided effortlessly back to the earth, paying me no attention. Upon contact with the ground, her wings decayed in an instant. The feathers expelled from their position and danced in the air, scattering in all directions.
Her mother walked frantically toward her, "What are you doing out here? I told you it was going to storm today. Did you even tell Grandpa that you would be out here? And you're not even wearing a jacket! You're going to catch a cold, Claire," she scolded.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I just—"
"We don't have time to play, it's—"
"We never have time to play anymore. We never have time to do anything but worry about Aiden. It's not fair!" Claire snapped. Her teeth grinded against one another like a cinder block against concrete.
"Life isn't—," her mother started, but stopped as Claire's father planted his hand on her shoulder.
"We think we can make Aiden better this time," he smiled. The rain shimmied from upon his beard. "The doctors have a solution for us. And it's not going to be easy, but—"
"That's what you said last time. You promised he would get better. You promised that he and I could play again after the doctors did the popping toes thing," Claire cried. I motioned to comfort her, but she dismissed my open arms.
"Popping toes?" Her father muttered. "Oh, apoptosis, Claire, and you're right. I did promise, and I shouldn't have done that. I want you to look at me." She stuck her nose indignantly away from him. He grabbed her hand and caressed her fingers between his. "The last thing the doctors did was not the only option. There are a bunch of things they can do to make Aiden all better. They told us that they're going to do this thing called Chemotherapy."
Claire fell into his extended hands. "What does that mean?"
"Let's get you inside and all dried up. Then, I'll tell you." As he lifted her into his arms, she looked back at me and waved.
"Goodbye, Jongo," she whispered. I felt my presence wane from her mind. I needed another chance to be with her.
Several months elapsed before she called for me again. I appeared in the hospital once more to a lonesome Claire, swinging her feet from a waiting room chair. Relief flooded over me; I couldn't believe that she wanted to see me again.
I approached her with my tail between my legs. "Hi, Claire."
"Hey, Jongo. I don't want to play. I just want to talk."
"I always want to talk to you, Claire, you're my best friend," I said reproachfully.
"I used to think Aiden was just pretending to be sick to get attention," she professed, acting a little too wise for her days. She keeps growing up. I just want her to stop and stay with me. "When Mom and Dad brought him home from the doctors who said he has cancer, I told Mom and Dad that they were lying to us. They didn't believe me. But now Aiden doesn't look like Aiden anymore. He doesn't have hair, he has red and blue and black marks all over his body, and he says he hurts all the time. I wish that the doctors lied."
I didn't know how to respond. It was as if her body was emanating contagious waves of fear. I wanted to take away all of her concerns. I wanted to bring back the faith that she had in the world.
"I think that lying is easier than telling the truth. Lies, somehow, make things easier to bear," I said. "The last time we were in the hospital together, you asked me if I could keep you safe. I told you that I would make sure that nothing would happen to you. The truth is, I had no idea if I would be able to do that. It was easier for me to lie than to admit that I couldn't do it. I couldn't admit to something that terrified me."
She paused. "They lied when they said that the apoptosis would work, so how can I believe that they aren't lying again?"
"I don't know much about being a doctor," I confessed. "Unless, of course, you count the time when we nursed all of your stuffed animals back to health." I looked to her in hopes that I had inspired a nostalgic smile. There was nothing. "I think that the doctors are telling the truth. Aiden is sick. But, he's going to come back home healthy."
"It's just not fair. Aiden hasn't done anything wrong in his whole life. It must be someone's fault that he's stuck here."
"Sometimes there isn't anyone to blame when awful things happen."
"Then what am I supposed to do, Jongo?" Claire asked.
"Well, I know that being with you always helps me. Maybe you could help him, too. I think that you should play with Aiden and show him all of the magic that's stored within your imagination." It was hard telling her to play with someone else. I couldn't believe that I let those words leave my mouth; they felt foreign.
"He's not ready to play yet, Mom says." She looked at the floor in discouragement.
"Then I guess you'll just have to wait a little bit longer until he is."
"How do you know that he'll get better?"
"We did a Super-Claire-Pinky-Swear, remember? Nothing comes in the way of those."
"You're right," she nodded, building up courage. She leapt up from her seat and embraced me. "Thank you, Jongo, you're the best bunny ever."
I watched her hurry off without me, rounding the corner of the hall. As my body faded away, I thought of her. I thought of her, years back, when nothing could defeat her. When it was just the two of us. When we were always happy. She didn't deserve to have that taken away, and I didn't either. I wanted to blame someone, or something, for robbing Claire of her smile. For robbing me of it, too. Instead, I thought about the memories we shared in her imagination. I knew that we would make it through this, just as we did countless times before. Together.
I rested alone for half a year. Part of me convinced myself that I was content with not returning to her. I became sure that she wouldn't need me anymore; that it would be better for both of us if I were gone. Apparently that wasn't true. There was a faint ringing in the back of my ears, calling me toward her. At first, I dismissed it, assuming that I was just hearing things again. Only after it continued to call my name did I feel a burst of warmth erupt within me. It was Claire, but she sounded different. A hint of joy radiated from within her, reminiscent of the time we shared daily adventures.
I chased after the echoes of her voice, craving to see her a final time. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to come back to her. I needed to. She needed me.
"Careful, Jongo!" She exclaimed as I appeared before her, nearly stumbling into the wall. I scanned my surroundings slowly, taking note of the popstar postered walls, haphazardly displaced toys, unkempt bed, and fourth-grade homework assignments littered about. I was back in her bedroom. Oh, how I longed to see this place again.
"Where's Aiden?" I asked anxiously.
"He's coming home today."
"Is he all better?"
Her eyes sparkled for an instant, just like they used to. "Almost, but Mom says that he and I will get to play today."
I sprung into the air, "Claire! That's so exciting! When will he get here?" There were two honks of a car horn from the driveway, seemingly answering my question.
"Mom probably needs my help," Claire mumbled, looking down at her feet.
I put a paw on each of her shoulders and knelt down to her. Her eyes wandered into contact with mine as a tear rolled down her cheek. She wiped her face vigorously with her sleeve. "It's okay to cry, you know," I said.
"Thank you for helping me, Jongo," she sniffled, resting her forehead against mine. "I want to take Aiden on all of the adventures that you and I went on."
"He'll love that, Claire." I paused for a moment and gathered my thoughts. "And I don't think you need my help with that anymore."
"But I don't want to say goodbye to you."
"Then we won't." I offered her the happiest expression I could muster. "You'll always have a piece of me with you."
"Okay," she forced a layer of confidence across her face. The car honked again. "Okay," she repeated, mustering more strength. "Thank you for being my best friend." With that, she ran off, leaving me in her room.
Moments later, I could see Claire from the window, gently holding Aiden's hands, leading him to the backyard. She fell back against the lush grass, giggling like nothing else in the whole world mattered. Her smile was back. Her brother lowered himself to his hands and knees, then sat next to her, laughing all the same. For an instant, Claire sat upright and looked to her bedroom window where I watched from afar. She put on a big toothy grin and waved at me.
Thank you for being my best friend.
I smiled back, knowing that I got to keep mine.

Wash the lentils in cold water and drain. Put them in a pan with the stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes.
Pour half the oil into a large frying pan and add the pancetta, saute for five minutes. Meanwhile, trim the leeks and chop finely. Pour the rest of the oil into the pan and add the leeks and ginger, frying gently for about 10 minutes until the leeks are tender.
Make the salsa verde by putting all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until it becomes a green paste. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Once the leeks and lentils have cooked, mix together with the vinegar and season.
Serve the lentils in shallow bowls with chunks of goats cheese, spoonfuls of salsa verde and drizzled with a little extra virgin oilive oil and wedges of lemon on the side.

Boeing Acquires Aviation Software Startup ForeFlight
By Anirudha Bhagat
Mar. 7 2019, Published 8:03 a.m. ET
Boeing buys software startup
On March 6, Boeing (BA) announced that it completed the acquisition of ForeFlight—a software startup. ForeFlight developed the popular web-based flight planning app "ForeFlight." However, the company didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal.
ForeFlight is known for its electronic flight bag app that provides 3-D airport previews, flight planning, and weather report solutions to pilots and crew members on their mobile phones and tablets. According to data compiled by Owler, ForeFlight had an estimated $40 million in annual revenues.
About the deal
Boeing acquiring ForeFlight shouldn't be a surprise. Both companies have been collaborating for the last two years. Under the software development partnership announced in 2017, Boeing allowed ForeFlight to integrate Jeppesen's aeronautical data and charts into the latter's app. ForeFlight helped Boeing develop and launch the new Jeppesen FlightDeck airline app.
The airplane manufacturer (XLI) plans to integrate ForeFlight's massive talent pool into Jeppesen to expand its digital solutions and bring innovative software applications to serve all of the aviation industry's segments.
Ken Sain, Boeing's vice president of digital solutions and analytics, said, "We are excited to build on ForeFlight's tremendous success in personal, business and defense aviation so we can provide next-generation, integrated tools to our aviation customers today." He said, "This acquisition also expands Boeing's rapidly growing, unparalleled digital services portfolio which will enable us to compete and win in the $2.8 trillion, 10-year services market."
The Jeppesen and ForeFlight apps are the two most popular and user-friendly apps for business aviation pilots. Therefore, the acquisition will likely provide Boeing with leadership in the fast-growing flight planning and navigation services space.
Boeing stock has outperformed the returns of major US indexes and its peers YTD (year-to-date). Boeing stock has gained 31.6% YTD. Boeing stock has beaten the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500, which have risen 10.1%, 13.1%, and 10.6%, respectively, during the same period.
Currently, Boeing is the best performer among the stocks in the Dow Jones 30 Index. With a YTD gain of 20.5%, IBM (IBM) is the second-best performer, followed by Cisco (CSCO) with 19.3% and United Technologies (UTX) with 17.8%.

The Sundance Company has been providing quality and desirable commercial real estate space throughout the Boise Valley since 1976.
New technologies can be intimidating, and it's not always easy to figure out the best ways to use them effectively and profitably in commercial real estate. But there's no doubt that tech innovations will keep advancing, so the sooner you embrace them, the better equipped you'll be to remain a strong competitor in the market. These are some of the main tech trends you should be following if you're in CRE.
Many CRE companies are not fully tapping into the power of their data to make sound investment and operations decisions. Investing in advanced business intelligence software enables better management of business functions, reduces manual work and equips property managers to make fast, informed decisions. A key step in effectively deploying and integrating technology internally at a property management company is developing an enterprise-wide technology strategy. You can upgrade your technology infrastructure while still accommodating legacy systems, but a well-thought out plan for integration across the enterprise is still essential.
And, upgrading internal technology to newer, more efficient and user-friendly options doesn't necessarily mean it has to happen in-house. Companies now have the option to contract with external cloud-based service providers for certain business areas or even outsource entire functions to specialized firms that handle payroll, HR, accounting and more.
Smart building management systems can carry out automated procedures and track building operations, and smart devices and AI-augmented technology can be used to identify patterns and anomalies in the data. Data can include anything from tenant satisfaction to business functions to building temperature. These innovations allow property managers and building engineers to more effectively apply predictive analytics, perform preventative maintenance, optimize energy usage and save costs.
Today's tenants rely on connected devices in their workspaces, and to meet their expectations, property owners and managers need to consider upgrading the digital infrastructure in their buildings. CRE companies must recognize that IoT technology is a priority when designing or retrofitting their buildings. Also, modern tenants increasingly value tech-based sustainability initiatives such as solar-powered outdoor lighting and installing green technologies will not only boost tenant satisfaction, it can also reduce energy bills and improve property value.
Small unmanned aerial vehicles now have many commercial applications. Drone technology is being used in real estate to photograph properties from appealing bird's-eye vantage points and other normally inaccessible angles. Using high-quality visual imagery from drones when advertising your properties can increase perceived value, which can translate into a higher asking price and a faster rental cycle. Some security departments are using them for surveillance to be able to monitor larger properties with less required manpower. Drones are also being deployed for surveying, architecture and construction—something to keep in mind if you're building a new property.
Innovative business models inspired by the new sharing economy are now arising in commercial real estate. The most notable, WeWork, provides shared workspace and particularly appeals to tech startups and freelancers looking for flexibility, convenience, special amenities and technologies that enable their mobile workstyle. At the same time, CRE is moving online, with internet-based PropTech startups transforming the traditional business model. Zillow, Trulia and Redfin have been disruptors in the residential sector, and emerging companies are now aiming to shake up the CRE industry in a similar manner – are you prepared for what this might mean for your building?
Technology is advancing every day, and if you're not making efforts to stay current, you're likely falling behind. By embracing new innovations like these, your property, your tenants and ultimately your profitability will benefit.
Portions of this article originally appeared on the NREI website.
We talk about trends in the workspace sector all the time, but what's happened to the office landscape in recent years has been nothing less than a seismic shift. In a relatively short period, office buildings have gone from being places where people do things to being places that do things for people. And, in today's fierce war for talent, being able to offer a workplace environment that employees want to spend time in – one that actually enhances their working life – can give businesses that all-important competitive edge. A big part of this is having the right blend and standard of amenities in place.
The demand for meaningful workplace amenities is being driven by a multitude of factors, each one influencing the way our workplaces evolve. A rise in the number of freelancers and self-employed workers, now accounting for around 15 percent of the working population in the UK, has spurred increased demand for co-working space with shared amenities that support networking and collaboration, the growing appeal of flexible workspace to businesses of all sizes is, again, fueling demand for high-quality shared amenity, as is the continuing influence of the Millennial generation that places an onus on the social aspect of work and the impact of workplace wellbeing – with a healthy office now being an essential aspect of the employee experience.
Successful amenity provision speaks to each of these demands, helping to create workspaces that support businesses in attracting and retaining talent; contributing to their growth. Planned in the right way, workplace amenity can also bond building clusters together, forging vibrant new communities in our towns and cities.
Happy, healthy people are the biggest asset to any business. Human beings aren't just units of production, and workspaces that treat them as such create a battery hen experience where wellbeing suffers and productivity drops. Encouragingly, increasing numbers of employers are recognizing the benefits of having a workspace that supports wellness; a recent survey from the Confederation of British Industry, in partnership with Bupa and HCA Healthcare, found that 63 percent of respondent companies viewed workplace health and wellbeing as an important business issue.
This reflects what we're hearing from our customer steering groups. They're telling us that that wellbeing at work is no longer a 'nice to have', but a 'must have' and they want to be able to offer employees convenient access to high-quality health and fitness amenities. Today's workforce is more health aware than ever before and with retirement ages being pushed further and further back, employees expect their employers to take a responsible attitude towards their long-term health and wellbeing. Everyone wants to feel like their employer is looking after them. So, we must ensure buildings and developments provide amenities that can really help customers to support employee wellness, from both a physical and mental point of view. This goes far beyond providing the essentials like bike storage and shower facilities, to offering access to things like yoga studios, virtual fitness classes, guided meditation sessions, on-site gyms, astro-turf training areas, holistic therapy pop-ups, and chill-out zones.
We're focused on taking these benefits to as broad a range of customers as possible, so we cluster buildings together and share amenities across them. What we say is that, if you're part of the Bruntwood community, you can come and enjoy the facilities at any of our other buildings too.
According to the United Nations, by 2050 two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities. And as urban infrastructure expands to cater to this influx, access to green space and a connection to nature as an amenity will become increasingly desirable. Exposure to green space has been linked to employee well-being and productivity, and some big players have taken note. Facebook, for instance, has topped its Silicon Valley headquarters with a huge rooftop park and Google plans to incorporate a 300m-long rooftop garden, complete with running track into its new London headquarters in King's Cross.
We see green space as a multi-functional amenity, it can provide a place for customers to work, collaborate and relax. A number of our flagship buildings such as Platform in Leeds and Neo in Manchester have green rooftop terraces and the new urban neighborhood we are creating in Manchester, Circle Square will be centered on one of the largest new city center green spaces for generations. Not only will the inclusion of green space in and around our workspaces help to address the future needs of urban workers but it will also ensure that our growing cities are sustainable.
Amenities have to work hard these days. Used in the right way they can help to facilitate a sense of belonging and stimulate a collaborative, creative culture – essential parts of the modern, co-working scene.
Businesses want shared amenities that provide opportunities to collide and interact with like-minded ventures within the workspace community. Where, once upon a time, people might have congregated by the water dispenser, they're now coming together in open plan kitchen areas, shared lounges and on communal roof terraces and this type of amenity is in big demand.
Workspace amenity can inject energy and interest in developments. We're now blurring the lines between retail and office space to provide quality services and provision within buildings themselves. This not only ensures that customers benefit from easy and convenient access to stand-out retail, including independent food and beverage providers, but it adds to the overall vibrancy and amenity of buildings. It's all about using amenity to create a destination for the entire business community. And the perfect example would be Hatch, the existing new pop-up food and drink destination we've created at the Oxford Road corridor in Manchester. Hatch is satisfying a number of objectives – providing an incubator for innovative start-up retail and leisure ventures, a fantastic amenity for businesses that will be based within our new Circle Square neighborhood and a new must-visit 'foodie' attraction for Manchester as a whole. Amenities like Hatch also act as an effective 'third space' for the businesses around it – another place where co-workers and colleagues can connect and recharge.
In this brave new workplace world, businesses that can offer a meaningful amenity to their employees are bound to have the advantage. And, for developers, this means constantly redefining what 'amenity' means and always pushing it to deliver more.

It is for many commercial real estate professionals, and it's easy to see why — if you want to find new prospects, you first need to call them, right?
It's hard to argue with that, and while cold calling does play a role in every prospecting strategy, it shouldn't be your entire strategy. Instead, the best prospecting strategies are rethinking the use of cold calling, transforming it from an end in itself to just one part of a larger approach to securing new business.
It happens, but it doesn't happen often.
Don't focus on making a hard sell; simply build the relationship, make a connection and provide value each time you talk. After a year of this you'll have made several strong connections with key prospects in your market, and when they eventually need professional counsel, don't be surprised if you're the first person they call.
How effectively you segment prospects has a lot to do with the quality of your databases and technology — you could create lists with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet and a post-it note (we don't recommend that), or you could leverage your databases through a commercial real estate-specific CRM to segment lists according to real-time data.
Either way, you want to segment prospects into the key groups that will fuel your success. That means different things for different commercial real estate professionals, but if you're looking for ideas, start by breaking prospects into these groups: previous clients, top owners and market principals. You should always keep in touch with past clients, many will prove to be consistent sources of business, and you definitely want to be building relationships with the key players in your market.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane review (Sydney Theatre Company)
By Jason Whittaker | November 28, 2019 |
Before Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and all that Oscars attention, before In Bruges, his film directorial debut, before plays like Hangmen, A Behanding in Spokane and The Pillowman, which made him the toast of theatre on both sides of the Atlantic, before his romantic collaboration with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, one of the hottest properties in entertainment, Martin McDonagh gave us the windy, wily The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
The biography is instructive because Beauty Queen, McDonagh's first major success, is much like everything else he's done and yet something he hasn't often done since. This starry remount by the Sydney Theatre Company, pitch-perfect in almost every way in a masterclass by Noni Hazlehurst and Yael Stone, highlights everything I've admired in McDonagh, and everything to which I've developed an aversion.
There's the clumsy treatment of race (Spokane, Three Billboards) and the invisibility of women (most of his plays). And, particularly, the Quentin Tarantino-like love of violent revenge porn, a dehumanising streak that debases too many of his tales. It's not my jam.
Beauty Queen is still jet-black in its humour and sensibility. And the stomach-turning sadistic violence is still there in a couple of scenes. But it focuses on two fully realised female forms. And, perhaps as a result, has a tenderness that most of McDonagh's work lacks.
Hazlehurst and Stone are doing such fine work, viciously kicking funny bones and yanking heartstrings with every carefully calibrated line.
Maureen (Stone), imprisoned by her defective mind and demented mother (Hazlehurst) on a lonely Irish hill, finds a crack in the door in Pato (Hamish Michael), a man who might love her in spite of herself. Our hearts open to the possibilities, which makes it all the more painful when they're inevitably dashed.
Mum and daughter can't live with or without each other, two hurt people who only know how to hurt each other. The constant teasing and taunting, a proper heavyweight contest, warms their squalid cottage, where neighbours down the hill fear to ascend.
It's like catching a bug in a bottle — wildly thrashing to try and escape but you know the air will eventually run out. It's carnal, very funny and heartbreakingly tragic. Hazlehurst and Stone are doing such fine work, viciously kicking funny bones and yanking heartstrings with every carefully calibrated line.
Yael Stone. Pic: Brett Boardman.
For Hazlehurst, that's less of a surprise. Your correspondent saw the TV favourite in the same role in a much smaller theatre in Melbourne a few years back, sitting up close as she dug deep for sympathy in a hateful woman. Stone makes a welcome return to the stage and inhabits Maureen completely. They're award-attracting performances.
Director Paige Rattray had the whole play simmering excitingly on opening night. Hamish Michael is lovably dopey as fumbling Pato. As his younger brother Ray, who comically gets caught between love and war, Shiv Palekar is an accomplished scene-stealer.
It's like catching a bug in a bottle — wildly thrashing to try and escape but you know the air will eventually run out.
In the wide-open spaces of the Roslyn Packer Theatre, designer Renée Mulder intensifies the feeling of isolation by building a lonely house on a lonely hill. Lighting designs by Paul Jackson and sound designs by Steve Francis (with perfectly chosen Irish ditties) smartly conspire.
When the set revolves, though, and we peer into this peculiarly Irish prison, the sense of suffocation so important to the work is lacking. It's plays like this where STC really misses its more intimate spaces on the wharf, which is under redevelopment for another year. While some plays this season have filled out the space (Lord Of The Flies is the best example), this and others (Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, Mary Stuart) have felt a little lost.
Admiringly, thrillingly in parts, the sparks from this cast could ignite McDonagh's best play in any theatre.
The Beauty Queen Of Leenane plays the Roslyn Packer Theatre until December 21.

One response to "The Beauty Queen of Leenane review (Sydney Theatre Company)"
Graham Thorburn says:
Sadly, the second act demonstrates that this is an early play by an author who had the skills but not the insight. In effect there is no drama in the second act in the Aristotelian sense, only a long reveal with emotional consequences. In effect act two is no better than the 'it was only a dream' resolution beloved of soap operas.
Imagine how much more powerful the second act could have been if (a) Pato reads out his letter to Maureen as Mag reads it herself, and (b) if Maureen knows that her story of catching Pato at the railway station is a fantasy, that she is embellishing and extending as a way of simultaneously torturing Mag, and avoiding the self-realisation that she is psychologically unable to escape from Mag, and her little corner of Ireland?
And then imagine how easy would be for that set up to turn on an inadvertent reveal from Ray that in fact Maureen didn't catch Pato, and that Pato is now engaged – and what Mag would make of that information?
The actors do a terrific job of covering up the script holes, but this is in effect juvenilia.

Town of Guilford » Community » Hamlets » Rockwells Mills » Main Page
Rockwells Mills is the name of a post-office and station of the O & W Railroad about a mile north of Mt. Upton. The name comes from the mills of Chester W. Rockwell which was located there. The settlements of Rockwells Mills and Latham Corners were less than a half mile apart so is treated to some extent as one. The first settlers were Sullivan Reynolds, Robert Mcleod, Lemuel Cornell, John Secor and James Hayes. All came in 1791. Reynolds built a gristmill on the east side of the river.
The hamlet was also called "Union" until 1895 when Urastus Rockwell bought the large mill. Howard Rockwell was the first postmaster in 1874 when the railroad came through.
The mill was burned in 1870 and rebuilt under the name of C.W.Rockwell & Co. The woolen mill was made partly of stone and partly of wood. Part remains today as "The Old Mill Restaurant. Between Rockwells Mills and Latham Corners was a Methodist church whose history dates back to the inception of Methodism in this part of the country.

What do you think of vaporwave enthusiasts that never experienced the 80s/90s?
With vaporwave being a recent genre in the grand scheme of things, it is logical that some people born in the 2000s, such as me, would discover and enjoy vaporwave. But at its core, vaporwave is a nostalgic genre, nostalgic for something we simply can't have nostalgia for. Do you think it legitimate to enjoy vaporwave even without having experienced the time where the sampled songs came out?
Re: What do you think of vaporwave enthusiasts that never experienced the 80s/90s?
Anyone who would argue that you can't enjoy a generation of music because of your age is ageist and wrong.
Same goes for people who denounce vaporwave songs that AREN'T particularly sampled. It's a constantly evolving genre.
People keep mentioning constantly how the Millenial generation spans from 1980-2000 when in reality it's true span was from 1975-1994. The reason why is because when we are born we are not immediately part of the collective that participates in the experience of the zeitgeist, infant amnesia leaves a person without proper participation and representation until the age of 5, with that in mind, someone born in 1995 will begin their proper participation in the year 2000 and thus never truly experience what the 90s were like to begin with [same for anyone born in 1975 not experiencing the 70s for the aforementioned reason].
To this stands the case that although Vaporwave was created by the Millenial generation to express their nostalgia this is in fact not limited only to this group of individuals, the Millenial Generation is not the last generation before the rise of the Monoculture we all experience around the world today, the Centennial generation is. This means we still have a group that has the potential to bring the content they are truly nostalgic about instead of what the genre's time period was based on.
I am not a Millenial, by the time I was conscious of what I liked plastic clothing and straight hair was all the rage, not high waisted pants and hairspray. Due to this the content I create reflects how I feel about my past and what I find nostalgic because even though the music from the previous century has a feel that nobody can reproduce anymore due to the lack of soul in the industry, it was not what I experienced to my day to day basis.
I think that the past is always a construct made by our (collective) minds, and as such any notion of an era or "generation" is just a fabrication. I was born in 1976 and I was a teen in the early 90's, and that's what I feel is "my era", but when I was living it, it was just "life". Now 25 years later, I think this is the shortest time frame that the cultural hivemind needs to start building a coherent picture of the "90's" as an era with it's own aesthetics and music etc. The 00's are still "in the making" I would say.
The Wikipedia article about "Hauntology" had these nice lines:"In the 2000s, the term was taken up by critics in reference to paradoxes found in late modernity, particularly contemporary culture's persistent recycling of retro aesthetics and incapacity to escape old social forms. Critics such as Mark Fisher and Simon Reynolds used the term to describe art preoccupied with this temporal disjunction and defined by a "nostalgia for lost futures."" So that made me think that the need to have retro-sentiments is some basic (post-modern Western) human need maybe? Overall I don't feel that Vaporwave's fetishization of the 80's is about a particular generation's nostalgia, but it's an emotional cultural structure filling some need of ours to feel certain kinds of feelings about the "Now" by filtering our experience through a mental construct projected into an imagined past.
SO to answer your original question, I don't believe it makes any difference when you were born, in regards to being "entitled" to feel certain way about Vaporwave, or anything else in this world for that matter. I've always felt the same way about the (late) 60's; for me and my teenage friends that was the era we idolized and felt bad that we weren't alive then. Well, I gotta run now but this is a very interesting subject..!


Make the french braid first. I did a diagonal inside-out french braid. A regular french braid would also work. Or if you don't know how to french braid, you could do an elastic braid. Whatever!
This was actually fairly quick too! From start to finish this took less than 15 minutes.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the cute shamrock bow came from "Kells Bows."
Thanks for posting, even tho you weren't planning on it!
So super cute and easy! Thanks for posting. Now I just need to see if I have the ribbon, and I'm all set for my girl's hair tomorrow morning!
I love it! The weaving of the ribbon next to the french braid is so unique!
My girls will be thrilled to wear this.
we did this one for st patty's day. LOVED IT! although i ran out of time and only got to weave one row of ribbon, it still turned out pretty cool.
Cute! My daughter is learning about bugs this week at preschool, so I did two hearts, one on each side, to make a butterfly!

Why Gender Hierarchy is at Odds with Christian Faith and How it Leads to Abuse
Too often the patriarchy of Bible culture has been confused with the moral teachings of Scripture. This workshop will explore how Christians working to end slavery challenged power, dominance, and self-interest in interpreting Scripture so that the church might become more effective agents of reconciliation in the world. What might egalitarians today learn from the interpretative methods of the abolitionists in their work as agents of gender justice?

books are exciting even if they don't have pictures.
current favourite programme when he is allowed to watch after lunch.
often hear him practice words and he repeats every new word he hears.
when he goes to school.
child and am delighted to be able to share it with my own son now.


I think the bearings on the Proloc are smooth and make reeling much easier. My petal hose reel does get very difficult to reel in, but a drop of oil on the bushes makes a lot of difference.
His technique is laughable I would be surprised if the windows came very well at all .
Well Ive got my bits.
Will post a vid up over Christmas when it's done.
Ok, so i just chucked it together today for a test.
It a pity he put these few 'silly' videos up IMHO. To his credit his DIY electric hose reel has inspired a lot of enthusiasm among other avid DIYers to build their own systems.
I think it sad that he now sullies his reputation by sticking these videos up. How can someone take him seriously? If I was his customer I'd cancel his services. If I was the owner of that sports car parked in the covered parking he nearly hit with his pole when he turned around, I would also have a 'fit'.
What I did find interesting is the issue he had when reeling in the hose at the end of this video. The motor just didn't seem to have the power to do to without him giving it a helping hand. Kind of put this into perspective. Would it be saving me having to wind the hose in or would I need to spend that energy elsewhere?
The jury is out on that one for me. We will await the long term reports of these DIY efforts.
The motor is 24v used on a 12 volt battery.
The originator of this thread on another forum said that he initially connected the motor up to a 24 volt supply (2 x 12v batteries) but the motor ran too fast. Using 12v slowed the speed of the motor down, but it will also reduce the motor's torque as well.
The motor is rated at 300 watts although there are some rated at 350 watts that look identical. The plate on it says that its current draw is 14 amps. According to electrical maths formula at 24v volts a 300 watt motor will draw 12.5 amps and a 350 watt motor will draw 14.6 amps.
I don't know how reducing the voltage to 12v changes the current draw (watts) of the same 24v motor. Waterworks appears to use the same motor. If you look at their videos that show the reels working in the van, they have some fairly heavy duty electrical stuff in there.
My personal opinion is that we have a motor which works but not properly. This is evident to me at the end of the poster's 'silly' video. The motor stalled trying to reel the hose in from the side.
Just a thought. A step up 12v to 24 volt convertor and then a 24v electronic speed controller will keep the torque but regulate the speed.
What spruce is saying may well be correct regarding it doesn't have enough torque at 12v I don't know because I've not tried it out properly yet.
I am gonna stick to my of the shelf reels but outa interest @spruce would say a 'dimmer' switch set up on 2 x 12 volt resolve the speed issue? Snails pace or balls out?
Well yes you need a speed controller a "dimmer" I's the same principle as is the car heater controller it just modify the voltage to to control speed of a motor.
So 2x12 v battery wired up with a 24v regulator would do the trick that's if it needs 24v I. not sure it does.
I found this which is rather helpful.
This torque calculator tells us that at 350 watt motor turning at 3500 RPM has a torque of 0.0159 newton meters. So at 50% of the torque at 12v means its torque is now 0.00795.
Unfortunately that means diddly squat to me.
However, if I put in 0.47 hp into the formula then it tells me we have 0.705 ftlb -ft of torque. Halve that for 12v.
cheers @spruce thats interesting so at 12v the RPM and Torque is halved roughly.
What we don't know is what happens with the current draw using that 24v motor on 12v current. Electrical formula says the amps will increase x 2 but I don't know if that formula applies in this instance.
Any more progress on self building your own electric reel?

Speakers at the rally included Angela Flack (director of ME association, speaking in a personal capacity), Paul Scriven (deputy leader of Sheffield Liberal Democrats), Bernard Little (councellor for Sheffield Central), Mike Higgins (Direct Action Network), Angela Hopwood (Mental Health User Representatives). Also speaking were representatives of other disability campaigns and a speaker from the PCS.
Although the turnout was good several people could not join the protest due to illness or the fear of being seen by DWP staff. This highlights the difficulty of organising and maintaining a campaign where many of those involved can only occasionally spare their energies and where there is a climate of fear.
There is a clear need for the welfare system to be made more humane, creating trust where there is now institutional prejudice. The continual lack of engagement with those actually on the benefits shows the government to be patronising and incompetent. The proposed reforms will not only be unssuccessful in their aims, but will cause further stress and illness for claimants.
The "work ethic" that often causes depression in people unable to work also often means they are assumed to be willingly on the benefits, causing further social isolation. This attitude is prevalent on all sides of the political spectrum and is an indication of the widespread prejudice faced by those with disability and illness. Unions, charities and political groups who do not discuss the realities of disability welfare with claimants have sadly given little support to the campaign.
Hopefully, as the counter-productive nature of the proposed reforms becomes clear, the backing for humane and positive welfare reform will grow. SWAN will be presenting a motion to Sheffield Council in July and will continue to try and raise the profile of this issue.

The radii of the circular ends of a solid frustum of a cone are 33 cm and 27 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its total surface area.
00:00 - 00:59 the question is that the radii of circular ends of a solid frustum of a cone are 33 cm and 27 cm and its slant height is 10 cm find its total surface area so here it is given R 1 is equal to 33cm r 2 is equal to 27 cm and slant height is equal to 10 cm the formula for total surface area is equal to 2 into 1 + 2 X + Y are one square for top and Pi I to square for bottom so this will be equal to taking Pi as common R1 plus R2 will be 33 + 27 into l is given as 10 plus
01:00 - 01:59 R1 is 33 so square of that plus R2 is 27 so square of that now value of pi 3.14 X 33 + 27 into 10 is 600 + 33 square is equal to 1089 plus 27 square is 729 so this is equal to 3.14 into 2418 which gives 759 2.5 to CM square to our answer will be total surface area is 7592.52 CM square I hope you are enough to destination thank you

On a properly prepared nail, apply a thin coat of OPI GelColor Base Coat. Cure 30 seconds in the OPI LED Light, then apply two thin coats of OPI GelColor Black Onyx. Cap the free edge of the nail by painting the tip of the nail with a horizontal stroke. Cure each coat for 30 seconds.
Using the OPI Artist Series Striper Brush and OPI Artist Series Design Gel The Time is White, apply a kidney-shaped dot near the cuticle area. Flash-cure for 15 seconds.
Outline the dot with an irregular circle. Continue to outline each irregular circle to create a pattern. Flash-cure for 15 seconds.
Add a similar V-shaped pattern to the sidewall using the same method. Cure for 30 seconds. Finish by applying a thin coat of OPI GelColor Top Coat and cure for 30 seconds. Remove the gel residue with OPI Expert Touch Nail Wipes and N.A.S. 99.
This gorgeous nail look is high fashion at its finest, using a black base and an accent of pure white to take nail art to the next level. From the pros at OPI , this look uses the GelColor Artist Series Design Gels, which means you can give your clients this editorial design now and it will last 14 days!

This Quality Book of Tools has been evolving in Ontario, Canada, over the past ten years. In 2000, Dr. Ronald MacVicar, a general practitioner from Inverness in Scotland, offered to help us develop a tool for assessing quality in family practice as part of his sabbatical at McMaster University in Hamilton. Working with local family doctors, we developed an early version called the Hamilton Tool. It was based on the Scottish Quality Practice Awards, which was a well-established program in Scotland. We added some additional indicators to make it more applicable to Hamilton. In 2003, we, at McMaster University, partnered with the Ontario College of Family Physicians, to obtain funding from the Ontario MOHLTC to develop a Quality tool that could be used in family practices throughout Ontario. Adopting elements from New Zealand and Australia, we drafted a tool to test in the Quality in Family Practice program (a voluntary quality assessment program – for more information see www.qualityinfamilypractice.com) in a variety of family practices, in two phases, in 2005 and 2007. In 2008-2009, we undertook an international review of primary care quality-assessment tools and a modified Delphi process with Canadian experts to validate the indicators we had drafted. Over the past year, we have rewritten, refined and categorized the indicators to align with the work being done in quality at the Ontario Health Quality Council and the Institute of Medicine in the United States.
This is the first edition of the Quality Book of Tools. It will continue to evolve as the work progresses and as we discover better ways to measure and assess the quality of family practices in Ontario.
The Quality Book of Tools is intended to help family doctors and other primary care providers, teachers, researchers and decision makers assess and evaluate the complex nature of primary care. The Tool allows users to categorize the activities of family practices into practice management and clinical effectiveness. The intention is that family practices will use the indicators to facilitate the measurement of performance in family practices, both practice management and clinical.
The Introduction to the Quality Book of Tools includes some details of the history of the Tool's development and guidance on how to use it. Each of the eight chapters that follow comprises a category, with indicators and criteria specific to a particular part of the practice. Further information, in the form of links to key sites, is provided to help guide the development of improvement processes based on best practices. The up to date links have been collected in a resource database that can be found at quality.resources.machealth.ca.
None of this would have been possible without the administrative skills of Carol Lane, Wendy Chin, Katherine Li and Betty Ho whom we want to thank for helping us convert a messy manuscript into this publication. Thanks also to David Price, Lisa Dolovich, Jan Kasperski and Jennifer McGregor, for reviewing the manuscript and providing helpful suggestions and Dr. Anthony Levinson for creating the resource database. We are grateful to the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University and the Ontario College of Family Physicians for their ongoing support of this project.

A bar brawl begins when a pair of eye glasses were snatched; oh, sweet Pacifica. The Burritt Room finds a successor to Kevin Diedrich. Calistoga plots new developments. Tyler Florence talks kitchen design and Ching He Huang talks Chinese food. All that and everything you ever wanted to know about pizza boxes, coming up.


PennDOT released its first performance report on efforts to address funding, mobility and safety on the state's roadways, giving itself marks ranging from marginal to getting better in more than two dozen categories.
"This report is a true reflection of the department's focus on safety," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said in a statement.
Among the categories scrutinized were the number and type of roadway fatalities, including ones involving pedestrians; highway capacity; and congestion.
The number of state-owned bridges rated as poor dropped from 5,672 in 2005 to 2,854 in 2018.
Congestion in the largest urban areas remained fairly steady across Pennsylvania.
The public can review the report and provide input through April 26 by calling 717-783-2262 or taking an online survey at www.TalkPATransportation.com.
PennDOT will hold an interactive, online meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 20, where Richards is expected to answer questions submitted via email to ra-penndotstc@pa.gov.
The report is the result of a collaboration between the State Transportation Advisory Committee and PennDOT. It is the first step in the state's 12-year planning program, which serves as a blueprint for prioritizing projects in Pennsylvania. Monday's release was the first report, which will be updated every two years.
PennDOT also released its Risks to Transportation Funding Report, which identified $18.5 billion in jeopardy over the next 12 years, including the potential insolvency of the federal Highway Trust Fund.

Q: Controlling Gnome Volume using DBus I'm pretty new to the whole DBus stuff so excuse me if this is trivial, but I was wondering whether, using DBus, it is possible to set the audio volume from the command line.

A: This seems to work on GNOME 2.30 in Ubuntu 10.04:
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.ayatana.indicator.sound /org/ayatana/indicator/sound/service org.ayatana.indicator.sound.SetSinkVolume uint32:40

That sets the volume to 40%.  Replace 40 with whatever percentage you want the volume to be.
Conversely, to see what the current volume is:
$ dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.ayatana.indicator.sound /org/ayatana/indicator/sound/service org.ayatana.indicator.sound.GetSinkVolume
method return sender=:1.54 -> dest=:1.2228 reply_serial=2
   double 39.9994

(Yes, you set the volume as a uint32, but get it as a double.  I don't get it either.)
Given that Ayatana seems to be a Ubuntu project, I don't know how portable this is to other distros.

A: You can also use:
xdotool key XF86AudioRaiseVolume
xdotool key XF86AudioLowerVolume
xdotool key XF86AudioMute
