Among the most common electrical wiring issues is regarding how to wire a swap. When applying switches in your own home is sort of effortless, wiring one particular may not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a really popular change (as well as the easiest).
You will find a few colours of wires inside of a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them on the terminal screws - a single on top as well as the other on the bottom screw of your change. The white wire serves being a source of uninterrupted power and is also usually related to some gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the inexperienced wire for the ground screw of your respective change.
These measures would typically be adequate to make a normal swap work without having a challenge. Nevertheless, when you aren't self-assured which you can execute the process correctly and properly you much better let the professionals get it done in its place. Right after all, you can find a motive why this task has become the most typical electrical wiring thoughts requested by plenty of people.
For some motive, ways to wire a ceiling fan can be among probably the most popular electrical wiring queries. To simplify this activity, you should utilize one change for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it's merely a make a difference of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan into the black wire with the switch. When there is a light, the blue wire need to be related for the black wire of the swap also.
You will find motives why these are typically probably the most generally requested electrical wiring issues. Just one, many consider it is really very simple to perform, and two, these are definitely the popular electrical tasks at home. But then you really should not put your basic safety at risk in your objective to save cash. The stakes could even be considerably increased should you make an effort to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring work with out adequate know-how or knowledge.


Soil is where life on farm begins. To achieve good crop growth a farmer should cater well to the needs of the soil, as a high quality soil would always help crops perform better than a low quality one. But how does a farmer ensure soil is always of good quality?
Farmers can ensure good crop growth by making sure soil has all the nutrient needed by plants. Crops have different nutrient needs, and perform differently over a wide range of soil type.
A good soil provides adequately for all the nutrients needed by a plant in optimal quantity. Nutrients such as nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P2O5), potassium (K2O) are usually needed in high quantity. While traces of other elements such as iron (Fe), boron (B), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) help boosting soil quality.
It is important to note that having traces of all of these elements in the soil is better than having too much of any of them. This means moderation should be applied in the application of fertilizer or any nutrient fixing substance.
Soil moisture is the water held in soil spores. If the water is good for plant, they would readily absorb it. Water for plants use usually comes in form of a solution, containing already dissolved salts and nutrients.
By absorbing soil water, plants take up moisture and nutrients for its need. A good soil should have a good water-holding capability. This would ensure that water from irrigation is well retained and can be accessed by plants at all times.
Soil texture refers to the structure of the soil. Different soil are made up of different properties. These properties result from how the soil's particles are shaped or organized. A soil with larger round particles would have more space for water and air penetration, a good example of this is a sandy soil. However a soil with a lot of spaces, would have low water retention capability.
Soil best fitted for crop production would have moderately shaped particles, that combines good water retention capability and finely spaced particles for air and water penetration. An examples of this is loamy soil.
To find out a soil's texture, take a handful of it and rub between your fingers. Gritty soils are sandy and they would fall of fingertips easily. Loamy soils would feel greasy especially when wet. Clay soil would always feel greasy, stick to fingers and form ribbons especially when wet.
The soil can be said to contain 3 major inhabitants. Living organisms, fresh residue, and well-decomposed residue. Each of these inhabitants play a role in the quality of the soil.
Living organisms such as worms bore in and out of the soil, helping to avoid compactness. When living organisms die, they serve as an important source of humus. Which is nature's best way of fixing nutrient into the soil. It also decomposes into CO2 and water, which are among the basic components of plant feed.
Every successful farmer knows the secret to having good crop growth is paying attention to little detail on your farm. By noting down farm activities such as tilling, application of fertilizer and irrigation, a farmer can easily review activities and compare them to crop growth.
Modern technologies have made it possible to share farm information with expert farmers and get tips on how to improve on crop production.

A view of the island known as "Stromboli." A plume rises from the volcanic vent with the same name. The island has a population of a few hundred people. This view shows the northeast side of the island where most of their dwellings are located. Image copyright iStockphoto / miralex.
Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and has been erupting almost continuously since 1932. Because it has been active for much of the last 2,000 years and its eruptions are visible for long distances at night, it is known as the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean". It is among the world's most visited volcanoes.
Stromboli is widely known for its spectacular eruptions which jet fountains of molten rock from its lava-filled central crater. Because these eruptions are so distinctive and well known, geologists use the word "Strombolian" to clearly describe similar eruptive activity at other volcanoes.
Stromboli forms the northeastern-most of the Aeolian islands. Its base begins over 1000 meters below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea and it rises to an elevation of 924 meters above sea level.

Simplified plate tectonics cross-section showing how Stromboli is located above a subduction zone formed where the Eurasian and African plates collide.
Like Mount Etna on the island of Sicily, Stromboli is a part of the Calabrian volcanic arc. The volcanoes of the Calabrian arc are associated with the subduction of the African tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate. Stromboli is located on a NE-SW trending fault system, but the mechanisms which feed the volcano's magma chamber, and their relationship to the fault system, are poorly understood.
Stromboli venting steam. Stromboli is a stratovolcano that begins at the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea and rises to an elevation of 924 meters (3031 feet) above sea level. This is a view of the eastern side of the island and the Sciara del Fuoco (Stream of Fire) collapse scar, which funnels tephra and lava flows to the sea. Image copyright iStockphoto / ToolX.
The island of Stromboli was built by a series of eruptions of potassium-rich basalt and basaltic andesite lavas. The first eruptions began about 200,000 years ago, and formed the now-eroded Strombolicchio volcano. Starting around 160,000 years ago, the island of Stromboli proper began forming. For the next 150,000 years, lava flows and pyroclastic deposits built a stratovolcano, which was eventually covered by pyroclastic deposits, lahars and lava flows. The Neostromboli period saw the formation of the modern volcanic edifice, which involved numerous flank and summit caldera collapses. The current eruptive vents are located at the top of the Sciara del Fuoco (Stream of Fire), a large collapse scar on the northwest side of the island which formed about 5,000 years ago.
Stromboli is the type location for the "Strombolian" style of eruptions. Strombolian eruptions are mild explosive events where "slugs" of gas periodically rise through a magma-filled volcanic conduit, burst at the surface, and throw bits of lava into the air. The lava falls as bombs (larger than about 3 inches in size) and scoria (smaller fragments), and eventually builds into a steep-sided volcanic cone.
The Sciara del Fuoco poses the most serious volcanic hazard on Stromboli. A catastrophic sector collapse would not only displace large volumes of material and possibly expose dike systems on the volcano's NW slope; it could also create a tsunami, which could cause much damage if it reached any of the other islands in the Aeolian archipelago or the Sicilian coast.

Activity at Stromboli has been recorded by historians for more than 1,000 years, and varies from mild degassing to lava flows to violent explosive eruptions. Records from 1907 indicate that one explosion was strong enough to shatter windows in the island's villages, and strong explosions in 1930 were associated with an earthquake that also created a small tsunami. The most recent eruption began in 1932, and has continued essentially uninterrupted since then. Periodically, Stromboli's eruptive style transitions and vents near the summit produce lava flows that are funneled by the Sciara del Fuoco to the sea; the most recent of these occurred in 2002 and 2007. One theory that has been suggested to explain the transition is that the magma in Stromboli's summit conduit occasionally forces open dikes on the NW flank, and is erupted as lava flows rather than through gas-driven explosions.
'Come si noma questa isola?' - 'What is the name of this island?' 'Stromboli,' replied the rickety little shepherd, dashing away from Hans and disappearing into the olive groves. We thought little enough about him.
"Stromboli! What effect on the imagination did these few words produce! We were in the center of the Mediterranean, amidst the eastern archipelago of mythological memory, in the ancient Strongylos, where Aeolus kept the wind and the tempest chained up. And those blue mountains, which rose toward the rising of the sun, were the mountains of Calabria."

The Collected Writings of Edward Rushton
Rushton, Edward
Baines, Paul
Liverpool English Texts and Studies, 65
Literary studies: poetry and poets
1714–1837 (Georgian period)
Slavery and abolition of slavery
I thought you would find this interesting: The Collected Writings of Edward Rushton (1756–1814) Rushton, Edward; Baines, Paul Liverpool English Texts and Studies, Volume 65 (2014)
The edition brings together the known writings in poetry and prose of Edward Rushton (1756--1814). Blinded by trachoma after an outbreak on the slaving ship in which he was a young officer, Rushton returned to Liverpool to scratch a living as a publican, newspaper editor, and finally bookseller and publisher. In his day Rushton was a well-known Liverpool poet and reformer, with an impressively wide range of causes (the Liverpool Blind School, the Liverpool Marine Society, and many radical political groups). Many of his songs, particularly the marine ballads, were very familiar in Britain and America. In the later Victorian period, as a particular version of romanticism began to dominate literary sensibilities, Rushton's overt politics fell from favour and he became rather obscure, at least by comparison with his like-minded (but much better off) friend William Roscoe. As the history of slavery abolition and other radical causes has come to be re-examined, the bicentenary of Rushton's death, falling in November 2014, has suggested an opportunity to take a new look at his remarkable career and impressive body of work. There has never been a critical edition of Rushton's poems. His own 1806 edition omits much, including what is his best-known work in modern times, the anti-slavery West-Indian Eclogues of 1787; the posthumous 1824 edition omits much from the 1806 collection while drawing in other work. The present edition works from the earliest datable sources, in newspapers, chapbooks, periodicals, and broadsides, providing a clean text with significant revisions and variants noted in the commentary. Unfamiliar words are glossed, and brief introductions and contextual commentaries, informed by the latest scholarship, are given for each piece of writing.
'A very welcome book and one which does justice to Edward Rushton's remarkable and unique literary achievement.'
John Whale
'Important and long-due, this book will have a significant impact in restoring critical attention to a sadly neglected Romantic-era poetic voice.' Franca Dellarosa, Università degli Studi di Bari 'Aldo Moro
'The Collected Writings of Edward Rushton (1756–1814), edited by Paul Baines and Franca Dellarosa's Talking Revolution: Edward Rushton's Rebellious Poetics 1782–1814 (a first-rate critical biography) taken together, are two volumes that enable Rushton's work to join a large and sometimes quite riveting body of material at the intersection of working-class poetry and the literary history of abolitionism.'
Jenny Davidson, SEL Review
'Paul Baines's The Collected Writings of Edward Rushton, is a triumph... space is given to Rushton's poetry and prose in a manner that allows them to speak for themselves. Baines does not clutter the text with lengthy notes concerning textual variants, history, or glosses, instead confining these to a detailed but concise 'commentary' at the end of the volume.'

'[This is] the first modern volume of [Rushton's] collected works (painstakingly edited by Paul Baines)... As Baines pointed out at the 2014 conference marking both the bicentenary of Rushton's death and the publication of these books, the attempt to collect, collate and rationalise the fugitive poetry of a figure whose work was often ephemeral, unattributed or reproduced without permission on either side of the Atlantic was a formidable one. The scale of this undertaking is evidenced by the 102 pages of commentary that accompany the works themselves.'

Edward Rushton (1756–1814) was a poet, writer, bookseller and abolitionist. After losing his own vision, he opened a school for the blind, the oldest continuous such school in the world. Paul Baines is Professor of English at the University of Liverpool and co-editor of The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Eighteenth-Century Writers and Writing.


The UK has expanded its EU Settlement Scheme to cover citizens of all EEA countries and Switzerland and clarified the scheme's 'no-deal' provisions as Parliament braces for a series of crucial votes in March.
A further 'meaningful vote' on the Withdrawal Agreement is expected on 12 March. If the agreement is again rejected, MPs will then vote on whether to opt for a no-deal Brexit or delay it by extending Article 50.
The EU Settlement Scheme enables EU citizens to continue living and working in the UK* after Brexit and is currently open for applications in a live test phase. EU citizens having lived in the UK for five years at the date of their application can apply for settled status, or pre-settled status if they have not yet accrued five years of residency. Settled status allows EU citizens to stay in the UK indefinitely, and to apply for British citizenship if eligible. Pre-settled status grants a further stay of five years in the UK, during which time the recipient may reapply for full settled status once residency requirements are met.
Application will be free of charge, but applicants during the test phase will need to pay the previously set fee which would then be refunded. When the scheme is fully open on 30 March, the process will be fee-free from the outset.
Citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland already in the UK may also apply to the scheme from 30 March onwards.
For employers looking to recruit from these and EU countries, new entrants arriving before 31 December 2020 may apply first for pre-settled status and then as mentioned above, reapply for full settled status once five years' residence has been accrued.
EU/EEA/Swiss nationals would have until 30 June 2021 to apply to the settlement scheme unless the UK Parliament votes to exit the EU without an agreement.
In a no-deal scenario, those nationals already in the UK will only have until 31 December 2020 to apply while new arrivals from 30 March 2019 will not be able to use the scheme at all.
Citizens from the EU/EEA/Switzerland will still be able to enter the UK after a no-deal Brexit to visit, work and study for up to three months without a visa, but must apply for Temporary Leave to Remain if they wish to stay beyond the three months. This leave if granted, will allow recipients an additional 36 months' stay. This period is not extendable and will not guarantee a route to UK settlement. Those wishing to stay beyond this leave period must qualify under the UK's new skills-based immigration system, which will begin from 2021.
With much still to be decided over Brexit, the EU Settlement Scheme is one area where there is relative certainty. The CIPD urges organisations with EU nationals in their employ to familiarise themselves with the resources available to guide their employees about when and how to register their settlement status. They should review their business continuity as well as workforce planning and keep communications open with staff, particularly through the rapid changes expected in the coming weeks. The CIPD's Brexit Hub will continue to provide further news and guidance for members and employers.
* Citizens of the Republic of Ireland do not need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme or take any other action to travel in and out of or continue living and working in the UK. The rights of Irish citizens are protected under the Common Travel Area arrangements.

Q: Evaluate all functions in Javascript Object I've created a Javascript object with a layout like this:
var myObject : {
     doSomething : function (args) {
         //do some stuff
         return result;
     }

     //note the args for both functions are of the same format
     doSomethingElse : function (args){
         //do some other stuff
         return otherResult
     }
}

Now I want to achieve the following, but am not sure on how to do it in a clean way:
console.log(myObject(args));

/*
Output:
    {
         doSomething : result,
         doSomethingElse : otherResult
    }
*/

I'd like to keep both functions separate, as I would like to be able to refer to them in separate instances, but also evaluate both at once to get the desired output as above.
Thanks in advance for your help!

A: I'd imagine you'd have to iterate, something like:
var results = {},
    args = "some args";

for (var key in myObject) {
    if (typeof myObject[key] === "function") results[key] = myObject[key](args);
}

console.log(results); //should be the output you want (untested)

A: Add one more method that calls both methods (passing them the arguments) and returns your desired object output. Something like this would do:
     ...
     doBoth: function (args) {
         return {
             doSomething: this.doSomething(args),
             doSomethingElse: this.doSomethingElse(args)
         };
     }
     ...

Calling myObject.doBoth(args) will return the result you hoped for.
jsFiddle Demo

You can also do something a bit more advanced, for example listing the method names you expect to be run for the result:
     ...
     doThese: function (methods, args) {
         var result = {};
         methods.forEach(function (m) {
             result[m] = this[m](args);
         }, this);
         return result;
     }
     ...

You could invoke this with myObject.doThese(['doSomething', 'doSomethingElse'], args).
jsFiddle Demo

I would advise you not to run all the methods on the object (like other answers suggest). Seems easier at first, but will make your object difficult to modify and cause unintended behaviour in the future.

There is a dining room with capacity of 240 seats and a cafe for 80 persons in uor University. Also we have some fast-food locations, coffee «To Go».
In the immediate vicinity of the university (2-5 minutes walk) there is a network of fast food, cafes and canteens.


The Gartman Letter editor and publisher Dennis Gartman, USA Today congressional reporter Eliza Collins and United Capital CEO Joe Duran discuss their concerns over the partial government shutdown disrupting the markets and economy.
As more than 800,000 federal workers miss their second paycheck amid the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history, many big brands and business leaders are stepping in to offer a helping hand to the furloughed workers.
On Friday, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon announced in addition to helping customers --who are affected by the shutdown--with overdraft and service fees, he is also donating $1 million to Feeding America and United Way Worldwide to provide meals, financial services and counseling to federal workers.
"We want a reasonable solution to the shutdown and want to see it end immediately. In the meantime, we continue to serve those who need help," Dimon wrote in the release.
Food giants Kraft and Tyson Foods have also been very vocal about helping workers.
On Thursday, Tyson Foods announced it plans to donate 85 tons of food, providing over 685,000 meals to those workers who are in need.
Kraft ran a full-page ad on the back page of Sunday's issue of The Washington Post, calling on other national and local brands to join the efforts in helping federal families.
Last week, as reported by FOX Business, Kraft opened a pop-up grocery store in Washington, D.C., to allow workers to stock up on some of the company's staples such as its famous mac and cheese mix and other items for free.
But Kraft, Tyson, and JPMorgan Chase aren't the only big companies to step up and offer discounts or freebies over the last several weeks either.
Here is a list of some other big and small businesses that are chipping in to help and the brands they represent.
A majority of wireless providers have announced flexible payment options to federal workers.
Ally Financial, Bank of America, Better Mortgage, Chase and Discover have all announced assistance programs for workers who are struggling to make ends meet.
Orangetheory Fitness and Bar Method are among some of the fitness brands offering free workouts to workers.
The national home search platform launched a program to pay the rent or mortgage of 10 lucky government workers or contractors in February who are not being paid during the shutdown.
Eligible government employees impacted by the shutdown may be eligible for a payment deferral on their Marcus loans, and savings customers may be eligible to have early withdrawal penalties waived.
The healthy fast causal chain announced mid-January that it will giving out free dinner to any federal workers for one weekend.
The Texas chain announced it's offering federal workers 20 percent off its entire menu, with a maximum savings of $20.

A Model for All Markets?
In the past decade, community land trusts and other shared equity housing models have gained wider acknowledgement and acceptance as a means of creating and preserving affordable housing in communities with high property values. But by cultivating the long-term success of homeowners, these models are also bringing revitalization and stability to areas with weak markets and high foreclosures.
By Jeff Corey -
While potential benefits of community land trusts (CLTs) are vast, most that are community-based focus on creating, and preserving the affordability of owner-occupied housing. To do this, CLTs sell homes on land they continue to own, reducing the prices of the homes significantly, and enter into long-term leases for the land with the homebuyers. Resale restrictions in the leases limit the prices the homes can be resold for and ensure the homes will be resold exclusively to income-eligible households. This affordable housing model creates a stock of permanently affordable homes that remain affordable even when resold, with no additional investment required.
Traditionally, CLT housing is considered a way to maintain affordability in hot or rising markets. CLTs also provide benefits via affordable homeownership to communities with lower property values, but these benefits are somewhat less widely acknowledged or accepted. Given the present realities of housing markets throughout the country and corresponding national efforts like the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), it is an appropriate time to focus on the positive impact a CLT can have in communities with lower property values and on the ways CLTs are using NSP funds to stabilize neighborhoods affected by the foreclosure crisis.
Why More Homes?
"Why are you here?" the Lincoln Park neighborhood representative asked from across the table.
"Why would I want land trust homes in my neighborhood when there are already too many low-income people living there?" he asked further. The room grew quiet as all present waited for the answer.
It was fall of 1999, and Northern Communities Land Trust (NCLT) had been asked by Pam Kramer, program director for the Duluth Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), to come to a meeting of the At Home in Duluth collaborative — a group of nonprofit and government agencies and neighborhood representatives working together to try to bring investment into four of the poorest neighborhoods of Duluth, Minnesota. NCLT had recently forged an agreement with one of the collaborative members, a neighborhood group in West Duluth, to build two new homes in a revitalization focus area. However, it was now quite clear that at least one of the four neighborhoods represented had strong reservations regarding NCLT's participation in the collaborative.
His animosity was not hard to understand. Most of the homes on the market in the Lincoln Park neighborhood were relatively affordable at the time. Over the past 15 years, he had witnessed a steady out-migration of neighbors who owned and invested in their homes. He had seen homes and yards previously cared for by their owners who lived in them deteriorate while the new absentee owners squeezed every dollar out of them. He was tired of seeing the relative value of property in his neighborhood decline. He had become convinced that affordable housing of any kind was the last thing his neighborhood needed and could not be part of a successful revitalization strategy. Since community land trust homes are by design affordable at initial sale and remain affordable at each subsequent resale, it followed logically that he would be doubly dubious about any strategies that included CLT homes.
Duluth was just starting to reverse the trend of a 20-year economic slide brought on by significant downturns in the iron ore and timber industries. At the low point of the downturn in the mid-1980s, when the population had shrunk by nearly 30 percent, someone actually paid for a billboard advertisement that asked, "Will the last person to leave Duluth please turn the lights off?" By 1999, housing prices had started to rise, but neighborhood leaders, tired of seeing most single family homes on the market sold to absentee landlords, had hopes of gentrification and the corresponding stability brought by increased homeownership ratios for their neighborhoods.
Back in the meeting room, the answer about the value of CLT homes was twofold: new construction in neighborhoods that had not seen new homes built in the past 75 years would add value itself, and NCLT's homes would be guaranteed to be inhabited by the people who owned them. Despite the fact that homestead versus non-homestead rates had fallen in the neighborhood to 49 percent (far below the city average of 62 percent), this did nothing to sway the asker from his stance. Nonetheless, NCLT was allowed to join the At Home in Duluth collaborative.
As part of the At Home in Duluth collaborative, NCLT first built the two homes referenced earlier. The following year, NCLT built two duplexes in an At Home neighborhood. Then, NCLT increased housing development efforts, building or acquiring and renovating from 8 to 12 homes annually. This pace has continued through the present, and the majority of the 83 homes the CLT has constructed or acquired and renovated have been in At Home neighborhoods and directly contributed to revitalization efforts in those communities.
Concurrently, NCLT added another 88 homes to the trust with its buyer-initiated program. Quite common for CLTs around the country, buyer-initiated programs provide an income-eligible buyer a significant acquisition subsidy to lower the cost of a home on the market selected by the buyer and varying degrees of funding for renovations that occur after closing. In exchange, the CLT receives the land upon the closing of the sale and the household enters into the standard land lease, which preserves the long-term affordability of the homes. Half of the buyer-initiated homes were also in At Home neighborhoods; the rest provided lower income households the ability to buy homes outside of those neighborhoods, providing diversity of incomes to the neighborhoods and more choice to the buyers.
During this time of increased production, NCLT focused on ensuring the high quality and aesthetic value of its homes and significantly improved the homes' environmental sustainability. Funders took notice. Warren Hanson, president of the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund says, "NCLT produces quality, sustainable, affordable homes that bring real value to their neighborhoods."
Neighbors took notice as well. In 2005, the same neighbor who had previously challenged NCLT's inclusion in the neighborhood revitalization collaborative spoke at the City Council in support of zoning variances needed for development of five new homes in his neighborhood. He had faith in the quality of NCLT homes and loved how they fit into and enhanced the neighborhood. In Pam Kramer of Duluth LISC's words, "NCLT brings skilled housing development staff, along with a commitment to creating a healthy, stable community."
Kramer continues, "Not only does NCLT create quality, affordable, green homes, but they also build community with their home buyers. This all helps to stabilize Duluth's neighborhoods." Kramer is referencing another key facet of what CLTs add to affordable homeownership — a long-term relationship with their homeowners in which CLTs have a vested interest in their homeowners' success. Quite simply, successful CLT homeowners equate to better-maintained homes, and better maintained homes are more easily resold to future CLT buyers. Modest investments made by NCLT, like free home inspections on the fifth anniversary of a home purchase and home maintenance and weatherization workshops, can make a significant difference in the success of a homeowner.
More significant investments, like the Home Repair Individual Development Account (HRIDA) Program, in which NCLT partners with Community Action Duluth, afford homeowners even more opportunities. The HRIDA Program provides post-purchase financial counseling, home improvement training, and matched savings of $2.50 for every $1 the homeowners save to pay for home improvements of their choice. As Kramer says, "NCLT meets a dynamic definition of sustainability, in that their work clearly ensures that all three legs of the stool are addressed: stabilizing the economy through home purchase, renovation, and sales; investing in the environment through green building and energy efficiency techniques; and building family income and assets by working with home buyers to secure significant down-payment and rehabilitation assistance necessary to afford and maintain homeownership, as well as to become involved in their neighborhood and broader community."
By 2007, NCLT had begun to change the focus of its development work from new construction to acquisition-rehabilitation in acknowledgment of the softening market in Duluth. By 2008, driven by the opportunities and needs generated by the foreclosure crisis, all of NCLT's development focused on acquisition/rehabilitation work. This change in focus positioned the organization well as a developer partner for the city of Duluth's 2009 NSP application. NCLT secured just over $1 million of Duluth's $1.6 million NSP award and will address 13 properties with the award. Keith Hamre, manager of the city's Community Development Office reports, "NCLT brings the ability to take houses that are a blight on the neighborhood and turn them back into homes for families. This activity has been a positive force for neighborhoods that have been suffering from neglect." Hamre continues, "One of the main benefits of using NSP funds for a CLT house is that the funds stay here in the community for a longer affordability period so the public benefit lasts through more than one homeowner. The CLT model and NSP funds is one of the best ways to achieve a positive community goal and maximize the public's investment in affordable housing."
When it came time to for the Duluth City Council to approve the city's contracts for NSP, a city councilor from a more affluent neighborhood argued that these funds should not be used for CLT housing. The councilor complained that there were getting to be too many NCLT homes in the community. Three NCLT homeowners spoke at the meeting with passion about what their homes meant to them and how pleased they were to know that one day they would 'pay it forward' to another homeowner when they sold. These homeowners, along with the Lincoln Park neighbor, who had recently joined the council, championed the NCLT NSP contract, which passed with just one dissenting vote. Afterward, Councilor Gary Eckenberg said, "NSP stands for Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and there is no better way to stabilize older neighborhoods than to secure homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income families to begin their quest to build wealth and help prevent the disinvestment and neglect caused by the imbalance in the ratio of homeowner properties to rental properties."
The NSP award allows NCLT to rehabilitate more homes to prevent neighborhood deterioration from the foreclosure crisis than the organization could do otherwise in the same time period. The NSP funds also allow deeper than typical subsidies to rehabilitate badly damaged homes and still meet price points that will sell in a down market in a challenging neighborhood.
Of the NSP award to NCLT, Kramer says, "NCLT's access to NSP funds helps ensure that formerly vacant, blighted homes are safe, brought back into good condition, environmentally sustainable and are assets to their neighborhoods, as well as to low-income families purchasing the homes. It is a true win-win-win for the homebuyer community and for public/private sector investors. We are fortunate to have such a strong CLT working in Duluth to ensure the wise use of federal funds, resulting in the benefit of permanently affordable homeownership for those who otherwise could not afford it and the creation of stronger, more stable neighborhoods."

Supermodel Nina Agdal's summer essentials list just made packing so much easier
July 15, 2019 by Alisandra Puliti
These celebrity fragrances will have you smelling like an A-lister this holiday season

Nina Agdal, Moxy Copenhagen
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Nina Agdal is all about that hygge life. "It's the traditional Danish word that you can't actually translate into any word because it's so many [things]," the supermodel shared with HOLA! USA during her latest trip home to Denmark. "It kind of means like cozy, family time. It can include games or a drink or just hanging out watching TV, but it's like a social setting where there's a certain mood of just pure relaxation." And that's exactly how she feels when she touches down in her native country. "It depends on work, but I try to come back at least twice a year."
For her most recent visit, one very special person wasn't able to make the trip that included a stay at Moxy Copenhagen Sydhavnen – her boyfriend Jack Brinkley Cook. "He loves it," she added. "He's so jealous right now. He's like, 'Don't send me anymore pictures. I can't handle it.'"

One aspect that Nina, who is from Hillerød, Denmark, misses about her native country is how she feels when she is there. "It's a different mentality I find from America. I love living in the U.S, but it's a very different mentality in the way you live, and you kind of just don't seem to stress so much."
With the season of travel upon us, the Koio sneaker designer wanted to ensure packing isn't a contributing factor to those stresses. Though she won't be able to get away until the fall because of Jack's new business venture, keep scrolling to see what Nina always includes for her jetsetter lifestyle.

Nina Agdal, Italy
"I switch them up so much. I bring like five pairs because they can change the entire vibe [of an outfit], so you can just keep the same look on and just switch the glasses."

The KG m40 Light Machine Gun was produced in small numbers and became a largely forgotten World War 2 firearms design.
Detailing the development and operational history of the KG m/40 (Knorr-Bremse) Light Machine Gun (LMG). Entry last updated on 8/1/2017. Authored by Staff Writer. Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com.
The lead-up to World War 2 (1939-1945) provided many weapons with the avenue needed to see serial production and combat service - some out of sheer desperation due to shortages. During the late 1930s, the nation of Sweden moved ahead in adopting the "Kg m/40", an automatic machine gun design intended for portable squad level service, as a means to fill its light machine gun requirement. It was a largely conventional weapon utilizing gas operation and full-automatic fire while being chambered for the local 6.5x55mm Swedish service rifle cartridge. This cartridge was, itself, adopted as early as 1894.
The m/40 went on to have a short service life in the scope of the grand war, also seeing local manufacture in Nazi Germany during the conflict as the "Maschinengewehr 35" (MG35) or simply referred to as "Knorr-Bremse" after the Berlin-based company that produced it. Small German stocks were shipped to Finland during its Winter War against the Soviet Union and Norway rounded out the list of known operators of the weapon. In German service, the guns were replaced by various types of Czech light machine guns.
The m/40 was of largely metal construction, this seen at the receiver, the barrel, and gas cylinder. The gas cylinder sat over the barrel with a noticeable gap witnessed between the cylinder and barrel. A carrying handle allowed for ease-of-transport while it also doubled as a barrel-changing grip in the sustained fire role. Sling loops also aided the operator during marches, the loops found at the gas cylinder and under the shoulder stock. The stock and grip handles used wood, the grip being nearly vertical in its design and the stock showing some smoothly contoured lines. Iron sights were fitted over the receiver and at the extreme forward end of the gas cylinder for ranged fire. Feeding was by way of a 20-round detachable box magazine inserted into the left side of the receiver, spent shell casings ejecting from a port along the right. The magazines were based on the American BAR straight boxes though slightly revised to a Swedish pattern - the Swedes also produced a version of the American BAR light machine gun locally as the "Kg m/37". Rate-of-fire was 490 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 2,600 feet per second.
The Swedish patent for the weapon was recorded around 1933-1934 and early forms were rebuffed by the government. The design then fell to Knorr-Bremse of Berlin, Germany, who - up to that time - had specialized in automotive brake equipment and were certainly not recognized gunsmiths. Nevertheless, they were able to interest the Waffen-SS into purchasing a small stock of the Swedish design. Their stay in the German inventory was short-lived once more effective products emerged. They were then used up by the Finns in short order. Swedish Army service involving m/40s was also rather brief.
Knorr-Bremse's inexperience in military gun-making eventually showed through however. The guns were of a largely sound Swedish design though their operational history became somewhat marked by the failure of some of their individual components - chief among these being misfires through improperly set safeties and shoulder stocks coming loose in action due to the vibrations when firing. Overall, this made the m/40 guns largely forgotten in the grand scope of World War 2 firearms.

Miranda is a lonely child. For as long as she can remember, she and her father have lived in isolation in the abandoned Moorish palace. There are chickens and goats, and a terrible wailing spirit trapped in a pine tree, but the elusive wild boy who spies on her from the crumbling walls and leaves gifts on their doorstep is the isle's only other human inhabitant.
There are other memories, too: vague, dream-like memories of another time and another place. There are questions that Miranda dare not ask her stern and controlling father, who guards his secrets with zealous care: Who am I? Where did I come from? The wild boy Caliban is a lonely child, too; an orphan left to fend for himself at an early age, all language lost to him. When Caliban is summoned and bound into captivity by Miranda's father as part of a grand experiment, he rages against his confinement; and yet he hungers for kindness and love.
This book is a melding of Carey's lush prose and the theatrics of Shakespeare. I can't comment on this story as a retelling specifically, as I'm not familiar with The Tempest. However, I really enjoyed Miranda and Caliban, it was a very satisfying story to read. I read this over a couple of days and found the characters, the setting and the mystery compelling. I loved the romance that was woven throughout this story, Miranda's toward life, and Caliban. Caliban, towards Miranda – to a fault. I was often perplexed by Prospero and I never really connected with him, but perhaps that was also part of the design, as his personality was to hold himself apart and aloof.
The story and its mystery were quite linear, there were no true surprises – one thing did really lead to another. I did not find this to be a bad thing, the story comes across as something to sink into first and foremost, not something to challenge or trick you. I loved the way Miranda and Caliban interacted with one another, both teaching and learning from the other. I loved the beauty of Caliban through Miranda's eyes because at no point did it seem twee, it fit perfectly with Miranda's character and her naivety.
I really appreciated the ending to this book. While I thought there was tragedy in the experience of lost love, I also thought Miranda's pragmatic acceptance of her situation and role in the manipulations of her father was very satisfying and realistic. There is no great hero to sweep in and rescue anyone, it is a tale of what happened, to interesting characters, no rose coloured glasses but not gratuitously dramatic either.
This book stands alone and is a satisfying story to read for some gentle escapism, it is fantastical but not overly so and may be suitable for those who don't ordinarily like fantasy in their stories. This is not a particularly in depth review but I don't think it's required as what I am left with is the lingering satisfaction for a book I quite simply enjoyed.

Home Lists Top 10 most anticipated games of 2013
Top 10 most anticipated games of 2013
Every year the market is flooded by video games and the volume and variety leaves many players agonising over the decision on what to invest in.
A large number of really fantastic titles will make their way into the hands of eager players, but we have selected the top ten that we simply cannot wait to play. This year will see an unusually big number of sequels and reboots hit the shelves, so hold on to your control panels!
An image from Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V (image: Rockstar)
1. Grand Theft Auto V
The GTA franchise has been the dirty uncle of the gaming industry ever since the titles moved from a top-down format to a more modern third-person perspective. Not shy of causing controversy, the games have explored drug use, prostitution, armed robbery and cold-blooded murder – and have sold millions of units in the process. Just like a bad car-crash, gamers cannot help but pay attention to it. The much-anticipated fifth version of the hugely popular franchise was officially announced late last year, and it promises to be no different than the previous titles – if not even more gruesome, debaucherous and stocked to the brim with tons of law-breaking and siren-inducing violence.
Release date: Q2
2. The Last of Us
Uncharted developer Naughty Dog has thrown their weight behind one of the games that promises to be one of the best of the year – the survival horror action-adventure game The Last of Us. The title centres on an adult and child who wander through post-apocalyptic streets of rumble – streets that formerly belonged to modern cities in the US. Players will take direct control of Joel, the adult, and the plot revolves around the pair's mission to get as far away as possible from the Infected, humanoid creatures who spread a cordyceps-type fungus that has already killed millions. Although Joel and the young Ellie are not related, Joel has made a promise to take care of her, and will do everything in his power to save her from harm. Gamers look set to experience an engrossing story, coupled with great graphics and dialogue that is due to tug on the heart strings.
Release date: 7 May
3. Battlefield 4
The Battlefield franchise actually needs no introduction, as the series of war shooters have become so popular over the years, that developer Electronic Arts does not need to invest in marketing. It also came as no surprise last year when EA announced there would be a follow-up from Battlefield 3, which is arguable EA's most successful shooter. (EA's Medal of Honor Warfighter was a dismal failure). While details on the next title has been non-forthcoming, it can be expected to have updated graphics, larger maps and be tons more fun.
Release date: Not confirmed, but speculation points towards the end of the year. A Battlefield 4 beta is planned for Q3.
4. Watch Dogs
Another title that has not received a firm release date for this year is Watch Dogs. Being developed by Ubisoft, it will focus on a ultra-connected modern world in the future where everything is online and connected. Taking on a GTA feeling, players will have the ability to change traffic lights and control the power to entire city blocks simply by logging into their smartphone. The game has also been touted as a launch title for the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but that cannot be confirmed. Watch Dogs is built around the concept of information warfare, and players will assume the role of hacker Aiden Pearce, who gets roped into doing various tasks for a number of rather unsavoury characters. A game-play video has already been released, and the graphics look amazing, with fluid controls and heaps of action.
Release date: late 2013
5. BioShock Infinite
As the third instalment to the BioShock series, Infinite looks to be something of incredible beauty – which gamers will definitely appreciate. While it bears the same name, it does not form part of the storyline of previous BioShock games – but will be similar in design aspects and themes. Gamers will be taking control of agent Booker DeWitt as he sets off for the floating city Columbia in search of Elizabeth, who has been held captive there for over 12 years – but everything is not what it seems to be with young Elizabeth. Through a number of in-game images, trailers and promotional material, BioShock Infinite looks to be a candidate for the prettiest title of year, with colourful scenery and great graphics. But do not be fooled by the bright colours as BioShock is not known to let up on scares, tense moments and thought-provoking plots.
Release date: 26 March
6. SimCity
Gamers who took to computer games in the early to middle 80's will remember the original and iconic city-builder title SimCity. The title spawned a number of sequels, but this year will see the much-anticipated remake of the first title. With the technology of today's games development to back it up, the title will bring smiles to many happy gamers as they relive their glory days of city building – but this time it will be on a much bigger scale. The graphics have naturally been bumped up to take full advantage of the latest graphics cards and systems. Apart from spectacular graphics, the title will also a finite number of resources, so users cannot mine to their heart's content – they will have to manage their mining and resource-gathering very carefully. Lovers of the original SimCity games will definitely get a kick out of this one!
Release date: 8 March
7. Gears of War: Judgment
The Gears of War franchise has been entertaining gamers since 2006, and players have had to mow down hundreds of Locus warriors through three separate games. The series has also been expanded into a number of books, graphic novels and there was even talk of a film about the franchise. But Judgment comes with a bit of a twist, in the sense that it is actually a prequel. The events in Judgment will take place before the action of the other three games, and the gamers will not be in control of Marcus Fenix – the previous main character. Instead of playing as Fenix, gamers will be at the helm of Damon Baird and Augustus Cole (regulars from the previous games), and will flesh out their stories prior to meeting up with Fenix.
8. Beyond: Two Souls
For fans of psychological or thriller video games, Beyond will be a treat. The studio that is currently developing the title, Quantic Dream, is the same studio that was behind the hugely-successful Heavy Rain title for the PS3. And gamers can make themselves ready for more of the intense storytelling and player interaction that they have come to love in Heavy Rain. The game's plot revolves around what happens after death as players will guide main character Jodie (played by actress Ellen Page) through 15 years of her life. As with any Quantic Dream title, the graphics will be superb while the storytelling will be top-notch.
9. Tomb Raider
It seems as though the most anticipated games of the year will either be remakes or sequels, and Tomb Raider is no different. Gamers were introduced to – and came to love – archaeological explorer Lara Croft in the early 90's and this has driven the franchise far enough to result in films, game sequels and marketing merchandise. But while Miss Croft has been given the real-life face of Angelina Jolie, players will be in for a bit of a surprise with this title. The game will be a reboot of the original title and players will explore the origin story of Lara Croft and how she came to be such a warrior. Croft gets stranded on an island and in order to survive she has to defend herself against vicious animals, as well as blood-thirsty mercenaries. It is a coming-of-age tale, but not one gamers' would expect.
10. Dead Space 3
Any gamer who does not think space has the potential to be an incredibly scary place after playing through the first two Dead Space games are either psychotic or just oblivious as to what might happen. Well, the events in the Dead Space franchise are maybe a stretch for what goes on in real life, but they are nonetheless enough to make gamers jump in fright. The third survival horror third-person shooter title will follow on from the previous two titles, and will see protagonists Isaac Clarke and Sergeant John Carver try to rid the frozen planet of Tau Volantis of the very angry Necromorph one last time. What makes this title different from previous ones is that it has a very strong online element to it. While players will take control of Clarke when playing alone, a second player making use of the drop-in/drop-out co-op will control Carver. The game promises to deliver a lot more horror, a wealth of new scares, a ton of shiny new guns and hopefully put an end to the Necromorphs once and for all. Naturally the graphics have been given a firm upgrade and the soundtrack is bound to make players look over the shoulder very often.
