Berlin 25: Germany's unification generation
How Germany's so called 'unity generation' – those born around 1989 when the Berlin Wall tumbled – view the country's divided past
Thu, Nov 6, 2014, 06:00
Derek Scally
It was the "unity generation", of Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos that brought home the World Cup for a party at the Brandenburg Gate.
When Raphael Moser and Julia Wenzel say "I do" on December 12th, they'll be doing their bit for German unification – not that the young couple have really thought about it that way. We're sitting in a cosy cafe on Berlin's Karl Marx Allee that couldn't be more of a contrast to the austere Stalinist architecture outside, built by an East German regime neither ever knew.
Raphael and Julia, just back from a year studying in Dublin, are part of Germany's "Generation Einheit", the so-called "unity generation" born around 1989. A quarter-century on, how does this generation view their country's divided past – and how will they carry this history they never knew into the future?
"I'm definitely proud of my eastern German identity, but the whole East-West Ossi-Wessi thing really doesn't figure for me," said Julia. She was born in December 1988 in the East German Democratic Republic (GDR), just as people pressure for change was building through growing numbers of meetings and marches.
"My mother took me to Monday marches as a baby, that was very important for her," she said. "But East Germany was only a topic in school after we asked our teachers about it."
Raphael was born in November 1990 in a town near the Black Forest in the southwest of what a month earlier was still West Germany.
"My western German identity isn't that big a deal for me, perhaps because I've never felt I've had to defend where I come from," he says. Where he agrees with his fiancee: the "East-West thing" is not a relevant or noticeable factor in his life or world view. Growing up near France and Switzerland, those countries were more prominent in his family's minds and conversations than any talk, positive or negative, about the other Germany.
Julia grew up in a Lutheran pastor family, meaning conflict with the East Berlin regime were part of her family's daily life. With her studies, however, she's moved around and lived in all of Germany, east and west, north and south. On her travels she's seen other cultural differences just as striking than the old East-West divide: the division between the cooler northern Germans and more jovial southern Germans. And then there's the matter of faith: she's Lutheran, Raphael's Catholic.
All these factors, rather than just East-West, were hanging in the air the first time they met each other's parents. What could have been an awkward Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? evening was, they said, unremarkable. Neither introduced their other half as an eastern or a westerner, just said where they came from.
For many younger Germans, it seems, regional identities are more relevant and tangible than old Cold War blocs.
Curiously, there are no reliable numbers tracking whether Julia and Raphael's marriage is part of a growing trend. Some newspaper articles mention how East-West couples comprise less than 10 per cent of the total, without mentioning whether they got their numbers. A recent dating website survey claims one in five Germans has had at least one East-West relationship since unification.
East-West couples
"I think the main reason there aren't more East-West couples is that people aren't mobile and stick to their region, not because there are East-West incompatibilities," says Julia.
Seeing the other's Germany has been an education, particularly for Raphael.
"I was surprised how pretty cities were and was amazed I'd never heard before of places like Schwerin, with its pretty palace," he said.
Besides marriage, anecdotal evidence suggests a small but growing number of western German students are moving east to study for pragmatic reasons: many eastern states, unlike in the west, have not yet introduced university fees.
Oliver Müller Lorey, 22, moved east to Halle because, he said, the universities in his hometown of Düsseldorf and nearby Cologne were expensive and overcrowded.
"My friends and family were surprised and still make fun of me, asking if they should bring bananas when they visit," he jokes. Living in Halle has opened his eyes when he visits Düsseldorf. "I now see what people here mean, that western Germans are more arrogant and egoistic than here," he says. "You see it in little things, like how they behave in traffic. I'd say our generation is closer together than previous East- West ones, but I think it will still take a will to bridge differences in attitude."
That is reflected in a survey of eastern identity by Germany's Allensbach Institute, suggesting the identification with the former east was stronger as respondents got older.
While eastern grandparents, the 60-plus generation, are evenly divided over whether they feel "German" or "eastern German", three quarters of 16-29 year olds living in the former East feel more "German", with one in five feeling more "eastern German".
Despite a shift to a unified Germany identity, some of the "unity generation" still see points of difference, for instance that a united Germany is still dominated by western German elites.
"Anytime you point that out you hear, 'but you have an eastern chancellor and president', but those are still the exceptions not the rule," said Sabine Rennefanz, a "unity generation" writer, in Die Zeit newspaper. "We have to be more political, get involved . . . in the recent election I found it sad that eastern Germany played no major role, perhaps we were simply too quiet."
Ask older western Germans and many say it's striking how quiet the "unity generation" has been.
"Beyond sporadic critical flashes, I see no consequential clash between the younger generation and their parents," said Mr Andres Veiel, who's made films about West Germany's left-wing terror organisations, an off-shoot of the 1968 generation and their attack on their parents and a perceived continuity between the Third Reich and the Bonn Republic.
Lacking legitimacy
Many "unity generation" members say they've not hit out at their parents for keeping their heads down in East Germany because many saw first-hand after 1989 how these same parents struggled to make ends meet. Now 25 and struggling to find full-time paying work and to start families, many have little energy to judge their parents' decisions.
Instead Germany's unification generation has moved beyond the Berlin Wall, celebrating with a new lightness both their regional identities and, when the opportunity arises, their national achievements.
It was the "unity generation", after all, of Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos that brought home the World Cup for a party at the Brandenburg Gate. What was once a death strip is, for this generation, the public living room where, as Willy Brandt predicted in 1989, "what belongs together, grows together".
In World Cup fever, the crowd sang along to Germany's big summer hit, Ein Hoch auf Uns, now an anthem to Germany's Unity Generation: "Here's to what unites us: this era/Here's to us, now and forever/to an everlasting day."

Q: A = B when Ax = Bx for some nonzero n-vector x Let $A$ and $B$ be two $m$ x $n$ matrices.
How do I determine whether $A = B$ always holds or only sometimes when:
$Ax = Bx$ for some nonzero $n$-vector $x$.
I know that $A = B$ holds always iff $Ax = Bx$ for all n-vectors $x$, however I am unsure about when $Ax = Bx$ for some nonzero n-vector $x$

A: Hint: Let $A$ be the matrix of all zeros. Can you find a matrix $B\neq A$ and a vector $v$ such that $Av=Bv$?

A: If $Ax_i=Bx_i$ where $(x_i)$ generates $\mathbb{R}^n$ then $Ax=Bx$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ and thus $A=B$.

The front plane of a house is a presentation. Although it can be descriptive of our traits, our choices, or socio economic position, it does not tell the story of our experiences and depths of our perspective which makes up the internal structure of our lives. Bradley uses birds as an expression of nature and fluidity against the concrete form of the buildings in which we live.

Wing Commander Vinod Kumar Neb VrC and Bar is a retired Officer and fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force and a hero of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and Indo- Pakistan War of 1971. He was awarded with medals for bravery twice during his service. He was awarded the Vir Chakra twice ( hence the Bar) for shooting down a Pakistan Air Force Sabres  in each war in 1965 and 1971.

Awards

In 1965 Neb was awarded the Vir Chakra. The citation reads as follows:"On the 6th September, 1965, Flying Officer Vinod Kumar Neb was detailed as number two in a section of two aircraft to carry out a standing patrol over Halwara airfield. Two of our aircraft were on the circuit. Suddenly four Pakistani Sabre Jets sneaked in low and started to attack the airfield and also our aircraft on the circuit. Flying Officer Neb, though still under training and short of experience, attacked the enemy formation with supreme confidence and shot down one of the enemy Sabres. During this encounter, Flying Officer Vinod Kumar Neb displayed commendable courage and devotion to duty of a high order."

In 1971 Neb was awarded the Bar to Vir Chakra (i.e. He was awarded a second Vir Chakra) The citation reads as follows:"On the 4th December, 1971, Flight Lieutenant Vinod Kumar Neb was No. 3 of a formation of four aircraft, on a mission to strike the airfield of Kurmitola in the Dacca complex. While the formation was near the target, it was intercepted by three Sabres. Flight Lieutenant Vinod Kumar Neb engaged an enemy aircraft and shot it down. Thereafter he saw another Sabre and although he was low on fuel, he started maneuvering his aircraft for a vantage position to engage the enemy aircraft. In the meantime, the fire warning light on the aircraft came on and his leader also ordered him to disengage in view of the limited fuel. He brought the aircraft safely to base inspite of engine trouble. Subsequently, he operated from the Detachment of the Squadron away from the base and flew a number of ground strike missions in the Comilla Sector. Along with his leader, he was responsible for destroying the enemy bunkers and gun positions on the hillocks overlooking our troops in Barkar which enabled its capture by our troops.

Throughout the operations, Flight Lieutenant Vinod Kumar Neb displayed gallantry and professional skill of a high order".

Clemens Peter Freiherr von Pirquet, eigentlich: Clemens Peter Freiherr Pirquet von Cesenatico, genannt de Merdaga (* 12. Mai 1874 in Hirschstetten bei Wien; † 28. Februar 1929 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Kinderarzt. Er ist bekannt durch seine Forschungen auf den Gebieten der Bakteriologie und Immunologie.

Werdegang
Clemens von Pirquet stammte von einer alten Patrizierfamilie des Hochstifts Lüttich ab; Peter Pirquet, genannt de Merdaga war  1809 mit dem Militär-Maria-Theresien-Orden ausgezeichnet worden und hatte 1818 für die Familie den österreichischen Freiherrnstand mit dem Prädikat von Cesenatico erlangt. Clemens von Pirquets Vater, Peter Zeno von Pirquet, war Repräsentant der "Landeigner-Partei" und spielte als Reichsrats- und Landtagsabgeordneter im österreichischen Parlament eine bedeutende Rolle. Die Mutter, Flora Freiin von Pereira-Arnstein, entstammte einer jüdischen Wiener Bankiersfamilie.
Sein Bruder ist der um sechs Jahre jüngere Guido von Pirquet, der als Raketentechniker auch in den USA an Universitäten unterrichtete. Clemens absolvierte seine Schulausbildung im Schottengymnasium in Wien, im Kollegium Kalksburg und am Wiener Theresianum, wo er 1892 maturierte. Mit der Absicht Jesuiten-Pater zu werden, studierte er zunächst zwei Jahre Theologie an der Universität Innsbruck und ab 1893 Philosophie in Löwen. Er schloss seine Studien mit einem Magister ab, wechselte aber seinen Berufswunsch und begann 1895, sehr zum Missfallen seiner Eltern, mit dem Studium der Medizin in Wien, das er in Königsberg und dann in Graz fortsetzte, wo er 1900 promoviert wurde.

Nach Abschluss des Studiums begann Clemens von Pirquet bei Otto Heubner (1843–1926) an der Berliner Charité seine pädiatrische Ausbildung. In Berlin lernte er auch seine spätere, aus Hannover stammende Frau, Maria Christine van Husen (* 1878), kennen.
Er wurde 1901 Sekundararzt und 1902 Assistent von Theodor Escherich am Wiener St. Anna Kinderspital. Gleichzeitig arbeitete er unter Rudolf Kraus (1868–1932) am Universitätsinstitut für Serotherapie. Nach seiner Habilitation 1908 war er bereits so bekannt, dass er einen Ruf nach Amerika erhielt, wo er als Professor der Kinderheilkunde an der Johns-Hopkins-Universität in Baltimore zwei Jahre lang wirkte.

1910 wechselte er an den Pädiatrie-Lehrstuhl in Breslau. 1911 wurde er Nachfolger des verstorbenen Theodor Escherich und übernahm den Lehrstuhl für Kinderheilkunde an der Wiener Universitäts-Kinderklinik, wo er bis zu seinem Tode wirkte. Ende der 1920er-Jahre war Clemens von Pirquet eine derart prominente und geschätzte Persönlichkeit, dass er zum Präsidentschaftskandidaten der Ersten Republik nominiert wurde, was er selbst eher als Ehrerbietung denn ernst gemeint auffasste. Es kann vermutet werden, dass sein Privatleben weniger glücklich verlief, denn seine Frau wurde von seiner Familie nicht akzeptiert, war psychisch krank und Barbiturat-abhängig. Am Höhepunkt seiner Karriere nahm sich Clemens Freiherr von Pirquet am 28. Februar 1929 im Alter von 54 Jahren gemeinsam mit seiner (möglicherweise unheilbar kranken) Frau in Wien das Leben durch die Einnahme von Zyanid.

Sein Nachfolger als Vorstand der Universitätskinderklinik wurde Franz Hamburger (1874–1954).

Leistungen
Bereits 1903 hinterlegte der pädiatrische Sekundararzt Clemens von Pirquet bei der k.k. Akademie der Wissenschaften seine Arbeit Zur Theorie der Infektionskrankheiten. Er beschrieb 1905 gemeinsam mit seinem Mitarbeiter Béla Schick, mit dem er ein Konzept der "vakzinalen Allergie" erarbeitete, erstmals die Serumkrankheit. In ihrer klassischen Monographie Die Serumkrankheit beschäftigten sie sich auch intensiv mit dem "Zeitfaktor" (Inkubationszeit), der zwischen der ersten Injektion eines Antiserums und dem Auftreten der Serumkrankheit liegt. 1906 führte Clemens von Pirquet, der das Berliner Antigen-Antikörper-Modell zur Erklärung der hypersensiblen Reaktion bei "Heuschnupfen" als Zusammentreffen von Blütenpollen und körpereigenen Abwehrstoffen verwendete, in Wien den Begriff "Allergie" (als griechische Übersetzung von Anders-Reaktion) in die medizinische Fachsprache ein. Er erkannte bei seinen Untersuchungen über die Erscheinungen nach der ersten und nach wiederholter Injektion von Diphtherieserum als Erster, dass Antikörper nicht nur schützende Immunantworten vermitteln können, sondern auch Ursache von Überempfindlichkeitsreaktionen sein können. Im Jahr 1907 entwickelte von Pirquet an der Kinderklinik eine Methode zur (Früh-)Diagnose der Tuberkulose, den Tuberkulin-Hauttest, der auch als Tuberkulinprobe und Pirquet-Reaktion bezeichnet wurde. Für diese Leistung wurde er fünfmal für den Nobelpreis nominiert, hat ihn aber nie erhalten. 1911 übernahm Clemens von Pirquet die neu erbaute Universitäts-Kinderklinik in Wien, an der er im selben Jahr eine heilpädagogische Abteilung gründete, die sich als erste weltweit mit der klinischen Forschung und Behandlung von hirnorganischen Schädigungen und Verhaltensauffälligkeiten bei Kindern beschäftigte.

Aufgrund seines Interesses für Fragen der Säuglingsernährung und seiner guten Kontakte organisierte er zwischen 1919 und 1921 österreichweit die Ausspeisungen der amerikanischen Kinderhilfsorganisation (ARA – American Relief Administration) und wurde Vorsitzender des Völkerbundkomitees für Säuglingsfürsorge. Im Zuge seiner Beschäftigung mit Ernährung entwickelte er ein eigenes Ernährungssystem, das sogenannte NEM-System (Nähreinheit Milch).

Pirquet entwickelte 1924 die Idee, Zähne in einem Zahnschema numerisch mit einem Zwei-Ziffern-System zu bezeichnen. Diese Idee wurde 1960 von Joachim Viohl aufgegriffen, mit dem er ein Zahnschema schuf, das seit 1970 von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation  (engl.: World Health Organization, WHO) mit der Bezeichnung WHO-Zahnschema (engl.: WHO Tooth numbering system) international Verwendung findet.

The All-American Rejects have released a YouTube documentary, titled Rejected, to give a behind-the-scenes look at the band's newest songs and talk about their five-year hiatus.
Ritter explains that though they have been a band for years, their new music is the first music that truly feels like their own.
He explains that when they were younger, the band was so concerned about being cool and doing the "right" things, but they didn't know where they wanted to go.
They had to step away to figure out where they wanted to go next—and that's exactly what they were able to do.
Rather than fitting an AAR archetype, the band have rid themselves of any pre-set "checklists" and are creating the music they want to create.
How excited are you for AAR's new record? Let us know in the comments below!

It was ordered for 'next day delivery' and all of the details including her name, and the company name and the Address and Postcode were put on the order very clearly. A very 'massive' disappointment = the monies have been taken from my bank account but the flower package as described above has NOT been delivered to the address and NOT received by anyone there.

Stryker Corporation reached a $1.425 billion global settlement with thousands of plaintiffs harmed by the company's artificial hip implants, Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II, in a group of select cases going through mediation in a New Jersey Superior Court and the U.S. District Court of Minnesota.
The Michigan company voluntarily recalled the Rejuvenate Modular-Neck and the ABG II Modular-neck metal-based hip replacement devices in July 2012 as it received complaints of corrosion and "fretting" (rusting and flaking) – the device's components rubbed against each other while inside the patient's body.
The settlement will give a base payment of $300,000 to victims that received the Rejuvenate or ABG II hip implants, underwent revision surgery by November 3, 2014, and who meet additional criteria. The award is adjustable depending on circumstances, particularly if the patient had to endure multiple surgeries, infections, or other complications. Depending on the nature of the injuries, plaintiffs could receive as much as $600,000 each.
Stryker will continue to face more lawsuits by victims who do not qualify or the settlement. The company will have to make additional settlements or face trial in federal or state court. You may be eligible for a portion of the settlement or for damages won in a separate civil case, including lost wages, pain & suffering, mental anguish, extent of disfigurement, duration of pain, and future medical expenses.Our experienced attorneys can help you determine if you meet the criteria for the settlement or if you should pursue separate litigation.

Dominick "Dom" DeLuise (August 1, 1933 – May 4, 2009) was an American actor, comedian, film director, television producer, chef, and author. He was the husband of actress Carol Arthur from 1965 until his death, and the father of actor, writer, director Peter DeLuise, actor David DeLuise, and actor Michael DeLuise.
DeLuise was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian American parents Vincenza "Jennie" (née DeStefano), a homemaker, and John DeLuise, a civil servant (garbage collector). DeLuise graduated from Manhattan's High School of Performing Arts. He later attended Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
DeLuise generally appeared in comedic parts, although an early appearance (in the movie Fail-Safe as a nervous enlisted airman) showed a possible broader range. His first acting credit was as a regular performer in the television show The Entertainers in 1964. He gained early notice for his supporting turn in the Doris Day film The Glass Bottom Boat (1966). In his New York Times review, Vincent Canby panned the film but singled out the actor, stating, "[T]he best of the lot, however, is a newcomer, Dom DeLuise, as a portly, bird-brained spy." He has appeared in The Magic School Bus as The Baker in the Episode Gets Ready, Set, Dough.
In the 1970s and 1980s, he often co-starred with Burt Reynolds. Together they appeared in the films The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, All Dogs Go to Heaven and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. DeLuise was the host of the television show Candid Camera from 1991 to 1992.
DeLuise also lent his voice for animated films and was a particular staple of Don Bluth's features, playing major roles in The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, A Troll in Central Park and All Dogs Go to Heaven along with their respective sequels and spinoff series. He also lent his voice to Fagin in the Walt Disney film Oliver & Company and made guest appearances on several animated TV series.

DeLuise was probably best known as a regular in Mel Brooks's films. He appeared in The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, History of the World, Part I, Spaceballs, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Brooks's late wife, actress Anne Bancroft, directed Dom in Fatso (1980). He also had a cameo in Johnny Dangerously as the Pope and in Jim Henson's The Muppet Movie as a wayward Hollywood talent agent who comes across Kermit the Frog singing "The Rainbow Connection" in the film's opening scene.
DeLuise exhibited his comedic talents while playing the speaking part of the jailer Frosch in the comedic operetta Die Fledermaus at the Metropolitan Opera, playing the role in four separate revivals of the work at the Met between December 1989 and January 1996. In the production, while the singing was in German, the spoken parts were in English. A lifelong opera fan, he also portrayed the role of L'Opinion Publique in drag for the Los Angeles Opera's production of Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld.
An avid cook and author of several books on cooking, in recent years he appeared as a regular contributor to a syndicated home improvement radio show, On The House with The Carey Brothers, giving listeners tips on culinary topics. He was also a friend and self-proclaimed "look-alike" of famous Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme. He also wrote seven children's books.
DeLuise died at age 75 on May 4, 2009, at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. He was hospitalized at the time, suffering from kidney failure and respiratory problems due to complications from diabetes and high blood pressure. He died from kidney failure and respiratory complications from cancer. He was cremated and his ashes were buried with his parents in New York City. His family was by his side at the time of his death.

Last week the Village of Scarsdale released a distribution chart on its website that showed percent change in total assessed value as stratified by neighborhood. In aggregate it appeared to show only modest differences in the valuation changes by neighborhood. However, that approach masked the substantial changes that have occurred with the J.F. Ryan revaluation at a more granular level. In multiple presentations to the Scarsdale Board of Trustees, others and I have pointed to the ill-conceived and unexplained decision to use a square root model for determining base home values from which multipliers are then applied as modifiers. Use of a square root model suggests that homes of 8,000 square feet should only be valued at twice the price of a 2,000 square foot home. This appears to be an industry assumption in mass appraisals and its economy of scale assumptions may be accurate when valuing commercial real estate or even many other residential markets. However, it is quite likely that Scarsdale is poorly suited to broad industry assumptions. Our housing stock spans over a century and there is an order of magnitude difference in the prices of our least expensive homes and those at the top of the scale. Furthermore, the tear-down phenomena that is easily observed here is not common in most U.S. communities or even many neighboring communities.
In an effort to better illustrate the effects on Ryan's use of a square root model on total assessed value in Scarsdale, I decided to recreate the same chart furnished by the Village of Scarsdale but stratify it by home size instead of neighborhood. I took two additional steps not present in the Village of Scarsdale chart to eliminate data noise and improve clarity. First, I excluded homes that have changed in size from Tyler to Ryan. This eliminates valuation changes that would be expected with the application of any revaluation approach. Second, I highlighted the segment of homes that experienced no valuation change (0%). While the mass appraisal industry only attempts to be accurate to +/- 10% of home value, I think it is important for readers to see the exact position that differentiates valuation increases from decreases.
On April 21 of this year, John Ryan told the Board of Trustees that his goal was to create a uniform result. I say with great sarcasm, "mission accomplished." The result of Ryan's model is a uniform redistribution of tax burden based on the size of your home. We have a highly educated citizenry, and I suspect that no one here believes that this neatly staggered redistribution reflects the actual effects in nature of a more nuanced real estate market. As the chart above clearly shows, owners of homes less than 2,175 square feet have an almost 80% probability of being assessed upward and more than half of these home owners saw their valuations increase in excess of 10%. At the other end of this scale, more than 70% of homes greater than 4,400 square feet have been assessed lower.
When you see where 0% falls on the above chart you observe that there is a 50% difference in the proportion of increases versus decreases when comparing the smallest and largest quintiles of Scarsdale homes. This profound separation of winners and losers purportedly reflects market changes in just the last two years. However, such a stark redistribution was not even true with Tyler's revaluation based on 40 years of change. To prove this, I went back to earlier data for the same population of homes and examined the actual effects of Tyler.
The above chart does show greater valuation changes in the larger end of the Scarsdale home market. However, the position of the 0% change line is remarkably consistent for all but the largest quintile. Overall, 15% separates the balance of winners and losers between the quintiles with the greatest separation. This is a far cry from the 50% separation now present with Ryan. With Tyler, the majority of the community saw increases in assessed value regardless of home size. This is not surprising considering that the stratification of home value differences even among similar properties would be significant after not having conducted a mass appraisal in 40 years.
The greatest weakness of the Tyler model is the apparent overemphasis on increases on the largest homes. Some of this may have been warranted and some may have been overly exuberant as has been discussed at length two years ago following Tyler. However, nothing in the Tyler chart presented here suggests a giant giveaway to smaller homes that must now be corrected by Ryan.
When you study the combined effects of Tyler and Ryan, you find that the influence of Ryan's square root model overwhelms everything else.
The net combined effect of Tyler and Ryan is a total assessed value that disproportionately shifts the burden to smaller homes. This is the same effect achieved with Ryan alone which suggests that Ryan represents more than just a return to pre-Tyler valuations. Ryan leaves us in a position more extreme than before or after Tyler.
While I think it is poor public policy to rely on the cost and emotional distress of a formal grievance process to fix errors and omissions in a mass appraisal, at least Tyler's over-statement of values for some high-end and other homes could be and probably were corrected with grievances. Ryan has extracted so much value from the Assessment Roll (I estimate as much as a half billion dollars) that a correction for overvalued homes through grieving the Ryan reval will leave Scarsdale with a significantly lower total assessment than we had a year ago. This will mean that homeowners largely unaffected by the Ryan reval will nonetheless be obliged to pay an increase in taxes that exceeds the percentages approved by the Board of Education or the Board of Trustees.
Where do we go from here? It is unlikely that homeowners already burdened with the costs of a grievance process will spend even more money on a legal challenge even if it would be justified under the equal protection clauses of the U.S. and New York State Constitutions. We could wait for another revaluation, but what Board of Trustees will be brave enough to propose it? Will Scarsdale fester with the disaffection of large swaths of its electorate that will defend themselves against even more tax burden by voting against upcoming bond initiatives and annual budget increases? While Scarsdale has historically been very supportive of the resources needed to fund our excellent schools, municipal services and public employees, there is precedent for a no vote campaign and a patently unfair distribution of tax burden makes the community ripe for this kind of response. I urge the Board of Trustees to reconsider their position against independent analysis of the Ryan revaluation. Given that J.F. Ryan received no oversight and submitted his results too late to allow for an informal period of public review, an independent review seems the least the Board could do to reassert itself into oversight of this process.

The week was both fun and educational and left the students interested in England and its culture. We can only recommend school trips like this to other stud
Our trip to Cambridge began on Friday, 7 September 2018, at 8:00 am in St. Pölten. While it was the beginning of another school day for most students, we embarked on our trip to Cambridge. We traveled to Vienna airport and boarded a 2-hour flight to London S
airport. Upon arriving, each one of us was given an information leaflet about our host families, Cambridge, how to use public transport and the ABC language school. We were taken to our host families in Cambridge at 10 pm. And so, our first day ended with our arrival.
On Saturday we went on a trip to London. After a 40-minute train ride we arrived in London. We went on a sightseeing tour and got to see the Tower, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. In the early afternoon we arrived at Piccadilly Circus, where we were allowed to stroll through the city on our own. All in all, we liked London a lot and were impressed by the hustle and bustle of the city.
We started off Sunday morning with a sightseeing tour through Cambridge and took a look at famous colleges like Trinity College and the city's oldest pub. After getting to know Cambridge, we went for a walk to Grantchester, a small town near Cambridge, where we had some tea in a cosy orchard and enjoyed the scenery.
On Monday at 9 o'clock we started our lessons in the ABC language school which lasted till noon. After class on Monday we went punting on the river Cam (which gave Cambridge its name). Not without casualties, a few of us went overboard.
The program for Tuesday afternoon was paying a visit to the Zoology Museum. Me and a few classmates went to Duxford War Museum instead. We were very impressed by the eight large hangars full of historic aircraft and tanks.
On Wednesday afternoon we went to Oxford where we were allowed to stroll through the town on our own. Afterwards we went to the Oxford MINI Plant, where we had a guided tour. We were shown automated and manual car assembly up close and were fascinated to experience this modern factory filled with state-of-the-art robots and technology.
Thursday was practically our last day we could experience Cambridge. After school we went to Ely which is famous for its impressive cathedral.
On Friday we left Cambridge at around 1 pm and arrived back in Vienna at the airport at 10 pm.
The week was both fun and educational and left me and my classmates interested in England and its culture. I can only recommend school trips like this to other students.

Denver's snow came a lot earlier than expected on Tuesday and messed up your whole life
The snow and ice diverted light rail lines but did not immediately shut down schools. City offices are closing early.

UPDATE: Denver Public Schools announced schools would be closing early Tuesday, with middle and high school students released at noon. Elementary Schools including K-8 schools will be released at 2 p.m., according to a release from the district.
Buses will be dropping off students at their normal stops between 2:15 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Monday snow forecasts for Denver promised a break through noon on Tuesday. Monday forecasts were wrong.
But you already know that because you're living it, with varying degrees of difficulty.
RTD and its passengers are likely having a rough Tuesday. The agency reported systemwide 15- to 30-minute delays on bus routes, while light rails had delays of up to 15 minutes. RTD said trains were moving at reduced speeds approaching stations and crossings.
At one point this morning, the agency said "frozen/snowed over switches" at Union Station caused all C and E lines to divert to the 18th and California Station. The lines have since resumed regular service after.
At around 10 a.m., RTD said a frozen switch on Stout Street was holding up all L line trains. RTD spokeswoman Laurie Huff said there were some canceled trips on light rail and delays due to bus drivers and light rail operators moving much slower than usual due to conditions. Overall, she said the delays "weren't out of the ordinary."
"I think that we were very prepared," Huff said. "We did have weather delays, which you expected to see."
Huff said some drivers called out sick Tuesday, but it wasn't immediately clear how many; she said the call-outs can impact service. The agency is facing a driver shortage.
RTD spokeswoman Marta Sipeki said they had about a 5 percent absence rate for light rail operators and 12 percent absence rate for bus drivers on Tuesday, up from the 2 percent and 9 percent rates for a typical day. Those absences include staff who called out sick, were on vacation, were out due to injury or were unable to get to work due to the conditions.
The conditions weren't enough to shut down Denver Public Schools, which are open today, though afterschool activities and field trips are canceled. The district said in a release Tuesday road conditions may cause minor delays on some bus routes.
District spokesperson Will Jones said the district is evaluating whether to close schools early. Jones said they made the decision to keep schools open at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday based on a forecast suggesting the heaviest snow would fall in the evening, not the morning.
"Then a couple of hours later, nature unleashed this storm," Jones said.
The University of Denver closed for the day around 9:30 a.m. Metro State University and the University of Colorado Denver stayed opened and classes are running normally.
The city announced shortly before noon that government offices will be closing at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. The release said 24-hour city services including snow response, traffic operations, trash/recycling, public safety and emergency operations will keep their regular schedules.
Denver Public Library said they would close all branches at 2 p.m.
CDOT said state offices in Denver would close at 2:30 pm on Tuesday. They recommend leaving work early this afternoon to avoid the snowstorm, which is expected to pick up this evening.
Paul Schlatter, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boulder, said Tuesday's snowstorm is a different storm than the one that dropped several inches in Denver and the region on Monday.
This new storm began Tuesday around 4 a.m. in the northern part of the state before moving south to Denver and the metro area. Schlatter said it's already dropped between 1 and 4 inches across the metro area.
Expect moderate to heavy snowfall Tuesday morning until about noon, when Schlatter said things will lighten up. Then it's back to be annoying, with snowfall expected to pick up in the afternoon and evening hours.
And RTD train downtown on a snowy day in Denver. Oct. 29, 2019. (Kevin J. Beaty/Denverite)
It'd snowed enough by mid-morning to prompt Denver Public Works to ready its 36 residential street plows. They'll be out from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to a press release.
The plows will take one pass down the middle of every side street, taking off the top few inches of snow in order to prevent deep ice rutting. They won't plow down to the pavement and they don't carry de-icing materials.
Those residential plows are smaller than what you see on the big streets — they're 4×4 pickup trucks. Public Works decides to deploy them "as conditions dictate."
You can track Denver's plows here.
If you think the snow is bad, wait until you hear how cold it's going to get in Denver.
Schlatter said the city will most likely break its record-low temperature — 7 degrees — for Wednesday's date as they're expecting temperatures to drop to 3 degrees overnight. That's pretty close to the city's all-time record low for October, -2 degrees. It's a record set in 1917.
"We may approach that record," Schlatter said.
This means crappy commutes and freezing temperatures for Tuesday while the city is under a Winter Storm Warning. The warning will last until noon Wednesday.
"When you're in a (Winter Storm Warning), you expect very difficult travel conditions, cold temperatures, snow accumulation on the road," Schlatter said.
Denver police reported 74 crashes this morning, including 66 since 6 a.m. Tuesday. Cops were investigating a five-vehicle crash at Platte River and Florida Avenue that closed roads in the area at about 8:30 a.m.
"Motorists are reminded to clear car windows, mirrors & lights, turn on those lights & wipers on and take it slow," police tweeted Tuesday.
The good news: Schlatter said they're not forecasting any additional snow this weekend.
Once it's all said and done, Schlatter said total snow accumulation will likely mean six to 12 inches in Denver when factoring in both storms.
As for the tiny dogs of Denver, they're braving the accumulating snow with style and grace.

MYOB INCITE is the event to attend for any bookkeeper or accountant seeking to stay ahead in a world of technological disruption.
That's right, the whirlwind roadshow INCITE returns in early 2019.
How far has your business progressed along the path to The Connected Practice? INCITE is touring Australia and New Zealand with the sole purpose of providing you a clear picture of where you stand, and what's left to be done.
Put simply, INCITE offers you the tools and information required to help you succeed.
Here's what you can expect from MYOB INCITE 2019.
As the financial services sector continues to be impacted by wave after wave of tech innovation, MYOB is offering the know-how that will put accountants and bookkeepers back in the driver's seat.
For the past five or so years, experts in the field have predicted early adopters of automation technologies will gain an edge over their competitors by drastically reducing the amount of time spent on transaction processing and compliance work.
The theory is proving sound.
Today, when we survey the entire landscape of bookkeeping and accounting work, there's a distinctly uneven uptake of new technologies, compelling some to innovate with new pricing models as well as value-added services.
At the same time, many others have begun falling behind.
MYOB has responded by sharing its vision for The Connected Practice – a concept that puts the client-advisor relationship at the heart of a streamlined set of advanced systems and processes.
At INCITE, you'll get a clear understanding of how MYOB's solutions are delivering on this vision, as well as how you can seamlessly incorporate it into your own work.
In the past, the work involved in receiving, collating and compiling all the data into a single client's tax file was onerous to put things mildly.
We've come a long way since the days of paper-based accounting and bookkeeping work.
Every year, new solutions arrive to make your work easier and more transparent.
And MYOB continues to streamline the way you manage this work.
And this will be a major focus at INCITE, with large segments of the event dedicated to sharing innovations in transaction processing and compliance.
Attendees will be particularly interested to hear details of MYOB's Practice Online vision as well as the work being done in the corporate compliance space.
MYOB will also be presenting a range of new solutions and updates designed specifically for the small-to-medium business market – your clients.
By sharing these at INCITE, you'll not only gain the key details required to make sound recommendations – and therefore add even more value – for your clients, you'll also be making life easier for yourself.
After all, more efficient, successful and happy clients are the kind of clients everyone wants to have.
For example, you'll find out how MYOB is further reducing the time it takes for SMEs to get paid while also taking the hassle out of uploading receipts and invoices to the cloud.
You'll get excited about the new In Tray and Connected Ledger, as well as new Enhanced Reporting and Cash Flow Reporting features.
One of the key features of The Connected Practice is the ability to open bookkeepers and accountants up to more strategic, value-added services as they shift away from the many hours of compliance work.
Among the most-often talked about services that falls into this remit is 'advisory', whereby a client's financial data is leveraged to offer timely insights and recommendations to enhance their operations.
Problem is, there aren't many professionals with the in-house systems available to deliver a comprehensive advisory service – which is where MYOB comes in again.
Announced earlier in 2018, MYOB Advisor continues to receive updates based on user feedback to further optimise the interface and outputs delivered by the platform.
At INCITE 2019, you'll get hands-on with this software to see how easy it is for you to begin delivering valuable, high-level insights to your own clients.
Of course, there are tonnes more topics on the agenda, but one of the most important reasons for attending INCITE 2019 is that it's easy.
Seriously, there are 50 different dates and locations on the tour, including all major cities in Australia and New Zealand and heaps of other places in-between.
So whether your office is based in Rockhampton or Rotorua, you'll find an INCITE event is happening near you.

Prey Demo At QuakeCon Shows Off Morgan's Abilities, Alien Enemies, And Crafting
By Asma August 6, 2016
QuakeCon 2016 opened this weekend with several new trailers and announcements from Bethesda. Included in the fanfare was the first gameplay trailer for Arkane Studios' Prey, which was unveiled at E3 earlier this summer. The first-person action game puts players in the shoes of Morgan Yu, a man with alien abilities as a result of questionable experimentation.
Those attending QuakeCon also got to take in a new gameplay demo presentation led by Prey's Co-creative Director Raphael Colantonio and Lead Designer Ricardo Bare. In the demo, the team showed off the enemies in greater detail, gave a brief look at the crafting system, and showcased some of Morgan's key abilities.
As explained by Anne Lewis, an associate content manager at Bethesda, Typhon are the alien enemies aboard the space station. In the demo, two kinds of Typhon are prominently shown: Mimics and Phantoms. Mimics are small creatures that blend in by morphing into everyday objects. Phantoms are larger, shadow-like entities that can seemingly teleport.
Morgan can watch and learn new abilities from the different kinds of Typhon. Once learned, abilities can be chained. Lewis goes into detail about how this is portrayed in the demo.
"In the demo, we saw Morgan transform himself into a coffee cup in order to slip through a small opening and enter a room he otherwise would not have been able to access. Later, Morgan became a round Recycler Charge – a special grenade that turns the matter around it (including certain enemies) into craftable resources – and rolled past some hostile Operator bots."
"After transforming into the Recycler Charge in the demo, Morgan used the Kinetic Blast power to rocket into the air, reaching an elevated overhang while remaining undetected by the Operators. Kinetic Blast is another of Morgan's alien powers, learned by studying one of the Phantoms' methods of attack. It can also be used in combat to push away anything within range while dealing a chunk of damage.
As far as the crafting system goes, Morgan can break down the items found in the space station to obtain the resources necessary to build tools and weapons using devices called Fabricators. During the demo, Morgan builds a propulsion system to help him navigate in zero g areas.
Prey is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2017.


Do you hear the drums echo in the night, or do you hear only whispers of some quiet conversation? Either way, we're taking a look at one of the most famous songs on the internet, Africa, by Toto. It sounds simple, but Toto was full of brilliant session musicians, and they managed to bury a lot of really clever touches in it, including possibly the most interesting piece of harmony we've looked at yet. Plus, it's got one of the most iconic riffs of all time, so that's pretty cool.

But … the fact remains – we have to cope with a planning system not fit for purpose. In 1999 the House of Lords Select Committee on the European Communities first identified that the planning process is a "grave hindrance to achieving the necessary growth in renewables". Nearly ten years on and nothing has changed –the planning system still remains the most significant barrier to achieving the delivery of wind energy.
It's the only major generation source that depends for planning on District Councils – the government deals with all others for very good reasons.
Lord Adair Turner suggested that there may be a tweak in the planning process to 'unstick' more wind projects following my little piece on Radio4's PM on Friday.
The planning bill was debated yesterday – it's been heralded as the cure for all planning's ills but it still leaves the majority of wind projects in planning hell while at the same time smoothing the way for New Nuclear and nice new runways.
Most eco-towns are being turned down or criticised for lack of coherent transport policy.
It turns out Dyson is not entering the electric vehicle game!
For those people who travel less than 30 or 40 miles to work (well more like 15 or 20 if you can't charge at the other end) – a sub £1000 electric scooter has arrived in the UK.
Finally there is an interesting piece from The Register – it's an analysis of a draft book by Professor David J C MacKay of the Cambridge University Department of Physics, which attempts to do some real number crunching when it comes to looking at our future energy choices. The draft e-book is available here – it makes interesting and thought provoking reading if nothing else. I haven't had time to check his figures though!
Reading the provisions of the planning bill, it seems that onshore generation projects of capacity (one assumes in the case of wind this applies to peak capacity) of 50 MW or more. Given that any such project falls within the purview of the new streamlined planning system, will Ecotricity be considering these sorts of projects in the near future, rather than sticking with the current (and more distributed) approach?
Interesting links, but like you said talk is cheap – we really do need action. Oh, remember a while ago you joked about a electric Range Rover – have a look at http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2219794/electric-range-rovers-sold-2008!
Professor David J C MacKay e-book certainly makes an interesting read. Simply put the concern here is that renewables could never meet our present day demands. I'm parafrasing somewhat (and I do urge others to read the book) but it does beg the question how on earth are we going to make up the difference? As it's huge.
Ecotricity is certainly trying but is it worth broadning the portfolio? Solar technology is surely a good string to add to the bow. Maybe Ecotricity could also sell domestic wind turbines in local DIY centres. I like the idea of an electric car that joe public can afford but I do worry that there is an awful lot of hype around the electric supercar. Which to be honest isn't a practical idea.
Also perhaps a way to get round our somewhat ridiculous planning laws would be to petition the prime minister to give incentives to industrial estates to build wind turbines and solar panels. These are often well away from residential sites and areas of natural beauty. Ecotricity could supply and maintain the gear!
I realise this isn't always a practical solution as these sites aren't necessarily endowed with lots of wind or sun. But each case could be assessed on merit.
I am not sure he is saying that renewables could *never* meet our present day demands – he seems to say that renewables will not meet our present day (or predicted future demands) without considerable inconvenience. None of his 'mixes' are going to be easy or cheap – whichever choice we make is going to be difficult and will require huge changes and each will entail their own unique drawbacks, technological, social and psychological challenges and also unique benefits.
I didn't realise solar was getting so efficient though. He is right that they won't be much use in the UK though – particularly in the new mid-July 'rainy season' – we need to come up with a technology that harnesses the power of flash floods!
What I have never quite understood is why Geothermal energy is still considered far too expensive an option in this country. I am led to believe that the cost of a new Nuclear power plant is around £1.5 billion, plus huge maintenance costs. To follow that up we are facing a £70 billion clean up bill for the past decades of nuclear waste.
I'm not sure about Geothermal costs but they must be favourable against this. Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Was the Eastgate deep geothermal exploration borehole a glimpse into possible alternate future?

OnePlus 6T review
GSMArena team, 29 October 2018.
1. Introduction2. Design and build, 360-degree spin3. Lab tests - display and audio quality, battery life, speaker loudness4. Software5. Performance6. Camera quality7. Alternatives, pros and cons, verdictOnePlus 6T specificationUser opinions and reviewsReview comments (157)
Design and 360-degree spin
Circling back to the whole BBK Electronics Corporation ownership situation, it's pretty easy to understand the design trends and limitations the lines of Oppo, Realme, Vivo and OnePlus have to work with.
While not necessarily a bad thing, or a new reality, for that matter, it does take away some of the design novelty and create similarity within BBK's various smartphone lineups. That being said, as per expectations, the OnePlus 6T looks very similar to the Oppo R17 and R17 Pro.
Overall, you get the same familiar metal frame, glass sandwich design. It is still the prevalent look of the day. The OnePlus 6T is 2mm taller than its predecessor and about 5% thicker, also a bit heavier. Still, it does include a larger battery and bigger display. Unfortunately, ingress protection is still not on the OnePlus list of features. However, the front protective glass layer has seen a upgrade to the new Gorilla Glass 6 material, compared to Gorilla Glass 5 on the OnePlus 6.
OnePlus 6T glass back
The official specs don't really mention anything about the back glass panel, though, other than a 40-step count for the manufacturing process. We haven't had any durability issues with the review unit so far. Plus, OnePlus has a solid track record in this regard, so it should be a non-issue. We have to admit, we a re a bit bummed-out that the Silk White color option is gone. At least in this initial release, that is.
The OnePlus 6T can currently be had in a reflective Mirror Black or a mat Midnight Black. That might sound kind of boring, but the two actually look very different. Plus, going by track record once again, more colors are bound to pop-up in the future, in special limited editions of the OnePlus 6T or otherwise.
Both back panel variants looks and feel very nice to the touch. The reflective one, naturally, attracting more dirt and grease. It is a bit unfortunate that there is still no wireless charging on OnePlus phone, since it would have been a perfect match for the glass back plate.
One thing that's clearly missing from the back side of the OnePlus 6T is a fingerprint reader. The 3.5mm audio jack, IP rating and wireless charging might be notable omissions, as already pointed out, but OnePlus decided that the under-display fingerprint reader is a worthwhile feature to jump on this year.
In case this is your first encounter with the tech, it does have certain limitations to overcome. Since the reader is optical by nature and placed a few inches away from the display glass surface, reading requires plenty of light and good transparency (which the OLED panel provides), a good and wide surface area without a lot of motion and a second or two to complete. Hence, for the best result, you need to get the finger placement right on top of the reader, conveniently marked with an on-screen circular animation then press slightly harder, so your finger spreads out more and doesn't move too much.
Sure, this type of readers are still not at the level of speed and accuracy that the conventional readers offer. We're happy to share that the UD fingerprint reader on the OnePlus 6T is definitely leaps ahead of earlier implementations we've seen. It is a lot less picky about the placement of the finger, the strength with which you press down is quite reasonable and the reading accuracy is nearly perfect. The only thing that still needs a bit of work is speed. And even that is no longer that far behind a conventional fingerprint reader and it's perhaps the fastest UD reader we've seen so far (Huawei Mate 20 Pro included).
The OnePlus 6T finally brings one of the first usable and reliable in-display fingerprint reader implementations to the table.
If you find its limitations hard to swallow at this point, there is always Face Unlock, you can use instead or in parallel. It is just as snappy and accurate as the one on the OnePlus 6.
Enough beating about the notch then, shifting our eyes up a bit from the trendy in-display fingerprint reader, we instantly spot the "teardrop" notch - another 2018 trend. Now, we won't go defending the notch design regardless the shape or size it comes in. However, to OnePlus's (or rather BBK's) credit, the one on the OnePlus 6T is really small. Definitely a lot less intrusive than the one on the OnePlus 6. Well, a hole is still a hole and if you really despise it, you will probably have to hide it from the settings menu and sacrifice a bit of screen real estate.
Teardrop notch
Still, that relatively small area does manage to hold the 16MP selfie camera, along with the full array of traditional sensors, namely a three-in-on ambient/distance/RGB module. Plus, the earpiece is somewhere in that region as well. No notification LED, though. This obviously had to go.
On to controls then. In keeping with tradition, the OnePlus 6T has one extra button, compared to most conventional handsets. And it's definitely better than a dedicated AI assistant button. The three-stage mode selector toggle key has remained one of the OnePlus design staples for yet another year. It is positioned pretty high up on the right-hand side of the device and complete with a textured finish and plenty of customizability on the software side.
The only real issue we have with it is the stiffness. Granted, compared to the OnePlus 6 unit we have at the office, the rocker on the OnePlus 6T feels a bit lighter and easier to slide. However, the force required to do so is still a bit too much and it could easily lead to a nasty fall.
Underneath the mode switch there's a standard power button. Nicely defined and wide enough to press comfortably.
Dual SIM tray
On the opposite side - a volume rocker. Also, pretty bog-standard. These provide a nice tactile feedback and feel "clicky" so no complaints at all.
Bottom side
The top of the OnePlus 6T is pretty much empty, with only a small secondary microphone hole in sight. The bottom side has a bit more going on, but with one notable omission - no 3.5mm audio jack. Instead, OnePlus decided to go for a double grill aesthetic. Only one of those actually houses a speaker, while the other is for the main microphone. And that's the only speaker you get on the OnePlus 6T. The earpiece does not pull double duty for a hybrid setup. A potentially missed opportunity, in our book, but also likely a cost-saving measure. The same can be said about the USB Type-C port, namely since it still houses a USB 2.0 data connection. A minor annoyance for most users, for sure, but non the less, it is worth pointing out that the port lacks any additional whistles, like fast data transfer rates or video out. OTG is present, though.
Charloti
Even though I leapt to 7pro and planning to have the 9RT 5G, I still have the OnePlus 5 and it's working perfectly. It's audio clarity during a call is second to none.

Press week, this was. With each press week, I discover how much I didn't know the last time around. There is a lot that goes into a magazine, people. I don't know if I'll ever learn it all. I hope that for the next issue, all the folks in production will have everything they need way earlier. I'm finally starting to understand what all goes on in production, and yow, the production people rock. Also because we severely tweaked the look of the magazine for summer, and I think it's magnificent.
So. The roundup this week pretty much = summer press.
Here's what I see from the bus to the airport from Loveland. Sweet.
I spent yesterday in a daze of recovery, which involved comfort food, a nap, and some Buffy.
This morning I woke up at 6:30 to bright golden sunlight, made coffee, and sat with yarn for two hours.
Then we did what we planned to do, which is always so satisfying—we put in the garden. And since we're us and we like the putting in part and the harvest part and not the taking down part, that means we spent many hours digging and weeding and raking and shoveling. And about twenty minutes shopping for veggies and soil. Good thing Cleo was there to help.
He is a cute doggie.
Hey, when do the previews for summer come out? I'm eager to see the pics. I've been at the edge of my seat since the photos were taken.
Could Cleo BE any cuter???
@Amie: I'm not sure when the preview goes up. Should be pretty soon!
