Many Hawaii taxpayers breathed a sigh of relief after the state Supreme Court on Oct. 19 voided a ballot question that would've allowed the state to raise taxes on investment real property.
Supporters of the proposal had argued that higher taxes could be the key to making housing in the islands more affordable. They claimed to have evidence, but a look behind the curtain shows that isn't so.
In fact, it is not clear that there is a "substantial body of research" to that effect, but more important, "indicates" is not the same as "proves." Moreover, reducing prices is not the same as slowing the rate of price increases, and the studies cited by Boyd suggested both.
In an interview with Hawaii Public Radio, Boyd cited a Washington Post article that cited a study by ATTOM Data Solutions, which concluded that housing costs appreciated less quickly in states with lower property taxes, and vice versa. This clearly is not about reducing home prices.
He also referred to a study about home prices in Vancouver, Canada, which temporarily declined in the wake of a tax aimed at foreign buyers — before returning to double-digit increases. In both cases, the studies established only correlation, not causation.
In other words, the studies did not show that lower property taxes cause higher housing prices, nor that higher property taxes dampen them. There likely are other reasons that housing costs are higher in areas that happen to have lower property taxes.
For example, the ATTOM study didn't account for the fact that many areas in the U.S. with high housing costs — such as Hawaii, California, Oregon and Washington — also happen to have many land-use restrictions, which restrict housing supply and lead to higher housing prices. Conversely, many areas with higher property tax rates and lower home prices — such as Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan — have relatively few land-use restrictions.
Another fact to consider: Many homeowners in states with high property taxes actually pay lower than average property taxes overall, and vice versa.
Though Hawaii has the lowest tax rate in the country, it also has the highest median home value ($504,500) by far. Delaware … has a property tax rate that's almost twice as big as Hawaii's, but a median home value of just $232,900. This means that if you own a home worth $504,500 in Hawaii, you'll pay $1,412 a year in property taxes. But if you own a home worth $232,900 in Delaware, you'll pay $1,234 in taxes annually.
On average, Honolulu residents pay $3,012 in property taxes each year, which is close to the national average of $3,399.
It does appear that sales dipped immediately following imposition of the tax. But prices peaked in the months leading up to the creation of the tax, perhaps from buyers attempting to nab property before the tax went into effect.
"The implementation of the foreign-buyers tax in August, 2016, helped end the boom in detached housing, but prices for starter condos haven't been deeply discounted during the lingering crisis over affordability, said Steve Saretsky, a real estate agent who also writes a housing newsletter.
"Over the past two years, Vancouver condo prices jumped 13.9 per cent on average while townhouse prices rose 6.5 per cent, according to his analysis. The price for condos sold within Vancouver averaged $857,503 in June, compared with $753,065 in the same month in 2016, while the average price for townhouses climbed to $1,162,466 from $1,091,106 over the two-year period.
The DBEDT study (page 37) also stated that similar policies were enacted in Hong Kong and Singapore, both in the early 2000s, but it is unclear whether this had the effect of reducing or dampening home prices.
In 2012, Hong Kong imposed a 15 percent tax on property purchased by foreign buyers, but home prices have gone up by 65 percent from 112 index points to 185 index points since then.
This is likely due to the fact that only 3.7 percent of the land in the Chinese special administrative region is allocated to urban housing, resulting in an average of about only 20,000 new units per year.
That's similar to Hawaii's land-use restrictions, which restrict development to just 4.8 percent of all land in the state, leading to an average of only 3,196 new housing units being built per year since 2007.
Singapore seems to serve as the best case study supporting the notion that higher taxes can help soften home prices, although the evidence is not overwhelming.
In December 2011, Singapore stuck foreign buyers of property with a 10 percent tax, and prices have gone up by about 2 percent overall since then, although prices did fluctuate during that time, and that tax has gradually risen to 20 percent as of July 2018.
The best that can be said about the notion that "higher taxes reduce home prices" is that there does not seem to be convincing evidence from the research provided so far to support that claim. That was the finding back in 2000 of Jeffrey P. Guilfoyle, then-director of the Michigan Department of Treasury's Office of Revenue and Tax Analysis, who examined "the theoretical and empirical economic literature of the effects of property taxes on the price of residential housing" — and that seems to still be the case.
Common sense, however, does tell us that a high tax is likely be passed on to the buyer of a property, especially in the current seller's market, as pointed out this past August by Tom Yamachika, president of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii.
"The buyer's cost would not go down, and it could increase up to the amount of the tax," he said.
Aside from dickering with tax policy, probably a better way to make homes more affordable is to simply open up more land area for housing, which would help lower building costs and perhaps lead to lower prices.
When all forms of taxation are combined, Hawaii already has the second highest tax burden out of any state. In attempting to reduce housing costs, policy makers should avoid creating new taxes and simply allow more houses to be built — so more local teachers, and everyone else, can afford to own a home in the islands.

Out With The Old....
Opening of the new Johnson Street Bridge.
Old and New, Opening of the new Johnson Street bridge.
Four known bridges have spanned the narrows between the Inner Harbour and Upper Harbour of Victoria BC, connecting Johnson Street on the east shore with Esquimalt Road on the west shore.
FIRST BRIDGE, 1855 - 1862
A low wagon bridge was completed in 1855, which blocked marine traffic. It was dismantled in 1862 and was replaced with a ferry service.
SECOND BRIDGE, 1888 -1923
In 1888, a hand-operated swing bridge of limited load capacity was built for rail and foot traffic only.
THIRD BRIDGE - 1924 -2018
The bridge was completed at a cost of $918,000 (27 per cent higher than the estimated cost of $720,000) and opened in January 1924. The bridge originally had street car rails running down the centre of the road span, but they were never used, and were removed a few years later. In 1966, the wood deck was replaced with steel grid, as rainwater absorbed by the deck unbalanced the bridge, straining the lifting gear. In 1979, extensive repairs were made to the superstructure, which had become severely corroded. Following these repairs, the bridge was painted blue. Most Victoria residents call it the Blue Bridge or Old Blue.
In 1995, abnormally high temperatures caused the steel decking to expand to the point the bridge would not open or close properly. This necessitated the removal of about 25 mm (1 in) of the decking. On April 2, 2009, the preliminary results of an overall condition assessment of the Johnson Street Bridge were presented to Victoria City Council; Council gave approval-in-principle on April 23, 2009 to replace the 85-year-old Johnson Street Bridge. On September 24, 2009, City Council decided on the Rolling Bascule Bridge as the design for the new Johnson Street Bridge after reviewing public feedback, recommendations from the Citizens Advisory Committee and advice from a staff technical committee. On August 12th 2010, after lots of discussion Victoria city councillors voted to replace the Johnson Street Bridge, rather than refurbish the existing bridge. The new bridge was scheduled to be completed in 2015, at which time the old bridge will be removed.
CLOSURE OF OLD BLUE
On March 31, 2018, the road span was closed to pedestrian traffic, after being closed to vehicular traffic two days earlier. The closing/commissioning ceremony was attended by Victoria City Councillors, mayors from across the Capital Regional District, project managers and engineers for the new bridge, and members of the public. The road span and approaches were removed during spring 2018.
FOURTH BRIDGE - 2018 -
Construction of a rolling bascule bridge beside the third bridge with costs initially estimated at $63 million began in 2013, and opened to the public on March 31st, 2018, two years later than promised. As of December 31, 2017, actual costs of $105 million had been incurred. The bridge affords a three-lane roadway, a pedestrian walkway on the south side, and a multi-use pathway on the north side.
Below are some shots of Old Blue.

Foggy day out
Beth Rand August 21, 2018


One of Cape Town's newest hotels, the AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront opened in December (you can read more about the property here). We caught up with General Manager Michael Liffmann to find out about his career so far, the vision for the new hotel, as well as how their first month has been.
Can you tell us a bit about your career path in the hospitality industry so far? I joined the hospitality industry directly after matriculating in December 1996, and have not left it since. My initial reason for joining was to become a chef.
The first hotel that I joined was the newly-opened Cape Suites Hotel, where I worked as a trainee. After my first year of training, I received a great opportunity to join The Cape Grace Hotels food and beverage (F&B) team as a breakfast waiter. I worked hard to rise to the position of Assistant Manager within F&B. During the five years that I spent there, I also spent a brief period in the Stafford Hotel in London.
I was then presented with another fantastic opportunity to work in New York City. With the experience gained from New York I came back and joined the opening team for the Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel in 2003 as Assistant Restaurant Manager.
After my five year tenure, I left as Director of Food and Beverage. After a successful opening I went to the Guernsey Channel Islands and joined The Red Carnation Hotel group (The Old Government House Hotel and Spa) for two and half years.
Returning back to Cape Town, I joined the Cape Grace Hotel again as Director of Food and Beverage for another five years. This led to the fantastic opportunity to join The Westin as Executive Assistant Manager in 2016. Six months later I took over the role of acting GM for a year and a half along with Director of Operations.
Over the 22-years in the industry, I have honed my skills and enhanced my operational experience which has led to my current role as General Manager for the AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town.
When did you join the AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront team and why did it appeal to you? I joined the AC Hotel Cape Town in June 2018. The hotel was going to be the first in the Middle East and Africa Marriott Portfolio and was going to be bringing a new style of hotel to the city. A big part of the appeal for me was that I would get to build my own team and together create a culture that would make this property a great success.
Can you describe the overall vision for the hotel? AC Hotels by Marriott is a lifestyle brand designed for the entrepreneurial-minded traveller and combines the beauty of modern design with a European soul and Spanish roots. The brand believes that purposeful design improves our guests' lives and provides them an opportunity to slow down and uncover the beauty in the essentials. AC Hotels believes that if we have time to make it, we have time to make it beautiful.
What kind of guests are you hoping that the hotel will appeal to and how do you see the hotel fitting into the Cape Town hospitality landscape? We are a 4-star property catering for a wide mix of clientele, from local corporate to international leisure. Our curated room configurations are ideal for all types of traveller, from the corporate traveller all the way through to families traveling together.
How has your first month of operation been? The first month was a great success. We saw a great booking pace prior to the hotel opening which continued through the month. We were very fortunate to open in December and we have already seen what traction the hotel is creating amongst both local and international clientele.

STARR.
United States Supreme Court.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Oregon.
This was a suit in equity, to restrain the defendant from enforcing a judgment recovered by him against the tenants of the complainant, for the possession of certain premises situated in the city of Portland, Oregon, and to compel the defendant to execute a release of his interest to the complainant.
It appears from the record, that on the 22d of March, 1848, and for some time previous, one Francis W. Pettygrove held a claim to six hundred and forty acres of land in Oregon, which was taken up by him under the law of the provisional government, established by the settlers there in 1845, before the laws of the United States were extended over the country. On the land covered by this claim a large part of the city of Portland is built. On the day mentioned, Pettygrove conveyed his claim, with the exception of certain designated lots, to one Daniel H. Lownsdale, of Portland. By the conveyance, the grantor, for the consideration of $5,000, and divers other good causes and considerations, bargained, remised, and released to the grantee named all his 'right, title, interest, claim, and
demand at law and in equity, present and in expectancy,' in and to the land claim the boundaries of which were given.
On the 30th of March, 1849, Lownsdale, for the consideration of $6,000, bargained, quitclaimed, and released his interest in the claim, with the exception of certain lots, to Stephen Coffin, designating the interest conveyed, and describing the claim in similar language. With the execution of this conveyance, Lownsdale and Coffin entered into a contract by which Coffin agreed to make every exertion to obtain the title of the United States to the claim, divide the proceeds of any sales of lots or other property or privileges on the land claimed; to bear half the expenses of any improvements they might jointly conclude to make; to further the interest of the town site; to divide the profits and the losses; and that Coffin should execute to Lownsdale a good title to one-half of the claim upon the termination of the contract, which was dissolvable by mutual consent.
On the 13th of December, 1849, Lownsdale and Coffin, for the consideration of $26,666, payable by instalments, conveyed one undivided third part of the claim to William W. Chapman, of Portland. From that time the three parties owned the claim jointly, designating themselves as partners.
During this time, the defendant Stark asserted ownership to one undivided half of the claim, by purchase from one Love-joy, who, he contended, had held the claim in connection with Pettygrove.
In January, 1850, Lownsdale went to San Francisco, leaving with Chapman a power of attorney to transact and superintend his business in the Territory during his absence; to do any thing pertaining to his interests in Oregon which he, in his judgment, might think advisable, 'particularly in signing deeds to Portland lots.'
At San Francisco Lownsdale met Stark, and they made a settlement of their respective claims, by which the claim was divided by a line running through what is now called Stark Street; Stark taking the part north of the line, and Lownsdale the part south of it. This settlement was embodied in a deed of release and quitclaim, executed by them on the 1st of March, 1850. By the deed, Stark ratified and confirmed the
conveyances of certain designated lots north of that line, made by Lownsdale or his attorney, previous to the first day of January, 1850, and also all grants and conveyances made subsequently to the first day of March, with a proviso that Stark should receive the proceeds of the subsequent conveyances.
During the absence of Lownsdale, Chapman and Coffin agreed to partition off three blocks among the three owners, assigning one to each owner in severalty, at an agreed valuation. In this way, block 78 was assigned to Lownsdale, block 79 to Coffin, and block 81 to Chapman. This partition, making assignment, was made by the following instrument:----
'This indenture, made and entered into this twentieth day of March, A.D. 1850, between Stephen Coffin, D. H. Lownsdale, and W. W. Chapman, proprietors of Portland, of the first part, and W. W. Chapman, of Portland, Washington County, Oregon, of the second part, witnesseth, that the party of the first part, for and in consideration of the sum of $2,000, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, doth release, confirm, and quitclaim unto the said Chapman the following-described property in the said town of Portland, to wit, lots numbers one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4), in fractional block number eighty-one (81), being the warehouse fraction, and situate east of Water Street, to the water north of Oak Street and south of Pine Street, according to the plat of said town.
'In testimony whereof, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals day and year aforesaid.
(Signed) 'S. COFFIN. [SEAL.]
'D. H. LOWNSDALE, [SEAL.]
'By his Attorney-in-fact, W. W. Chapman.
'W. W. CHAPMAN. [SEAL.]'
Chapman and Coffin first heard, early in April, 1850, of the settlement between Stark and Lownsdale. They at once refused to ratify it, unless the agreement or deed of settlement was modified so as to cover the disposition of property made by them during Lownsdale's absence up to the time they were informed of the settlement.
Stark had left Portland in September of the previous year. Before he left, he executed the following power of attorney, and delivered it to John H. Couch:----
'Know all men by these presents, that I, Benjamin Stark, merchant, resident of Portland, in the Territory of Oregon, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint John H. Couch, of Portland aforesaid (merchant, and my mercantile partner), my true and lawful attorney, for me, and in my stead, to do any and all acts, during my temporary absence from this Territory, which I might myself lawfully do were I personally present, hereby ratifying and confirming all and every act which my said attorney shall so perform, and, by these presents, recalling and annulling all authority conflicting with this letter of attorney, which I have previously given to any person or persons whatsoever.
'Witness my hand and seal, at Portland, this twenty-sixth day of September, A.D. 1849.
'BENJ. STARK. [SEAL.]
'Witness: WM. SETON OGDEN.'
With this power, Stark sent the following letter to his attorney:----
'JOHN H. COUCH, Esq.:
'SIR,--With this you have from me a power of attorney of the fullest character, under which, during my absence from the Territory, you can look out for all my interests, particularly with reference to my interest in the Portland town claim.
'As regards the claim, I wish you to notify Mr. Coffin, as soon as he returns, of the true position of things, and, if possible, have the difficulty concerning my undivided half settled. I have spoken to James W. Nesmith, Esq., and to Mr. Pritchard, Secretary of State, and they will both hold themselves in readiness to act as my counsel.
'Should you find, after the return of Mr. Coffin, that the matter can be brought no nearer to a settlement upon just and equitable principles, I wish you to submit to them (Nesmith and Pritchard) all my papers, a part of which you have herewith, and others which you can have from A. L. Lovejoy, Esq., upon application to him, and direct them to pursue such measures as they deem most judicious.
'Mr. Lovejoy can give some valuable hints to my counsel, as he was formerly my agent. It will be necessary for you to advise the public of your appointment as my attorney during my absence. The proper kind of notice to publish, Nesmith or Pritchard can prepare.
'Wishing you may have but little trouble with my affairs, yet
trusting that you will battle to the utmost for my rights if necessary, I am yours, affectionately,
'BENJ. STARK.
'PORTLAND, 26th September, 1849.'
Assuming to act under the authority of this power and letter, Couch undertook to obtain from Chapman and Coffin a ratification of the agreement of settlement between Stark and Lownsdale. For that purpose he consented to the modification demanded by them. Accordingly the agreement was ratified by Chapman and Coffin by the following instrument signed by them indorsed upon the agreement:----
'We, Stephen Coffin and W. W. Chapman, partners with Daniel H. Lownsdale, in the town of Portland, hereby ratify and confirm a certain agreement between Benjamin Stark and D. H. Lownsdale, bearing date the first day of March, A.D. 1850, respecting an adjustment of title, hereby placing the disposition of property up to notice of said adjustment upon the same footing with the disposition of property before the first day of January last.
'In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals this the thirteenth day of April, A.D. 1850.
'S. COFFIN. [L. S.]
'W. W. CHAPMAN. [L. S.]'
Under this instrument the following ratification by the attorney of Stark was executed:----
'PORTLAND, O. T., April 15, 1850.
'I ratify the above agreement as far as my interest is concerned in said property.

Q: Help identifying a YA book about mining planets, moons and the colour purple I've been looking for a book I read as a child in the 90s and I was wondering if anyone recognises it. I'm fairly sure it was a young adult trilogy, involving (I think) a young girl and a young boy who are required to travel off-planet to assist with the mining of either Venus or Io (possibly both in different books). In order to survive the intense heat, their base is covered in a purple cladding due to some special characteristics "Scientists" had discovered about the colour purple. Fairly certain it all ends in tears with a regime that is oppressive against the youth, but I can't be certain.
Sorry for the vague plot points, but if this rings a bell for anyone I'd love get the name of the book(s)

Ole Miss adds JUCO guard Rod Lawrence to signing class
Hugh Kellenberger
Rebels now have five commitments for 2014
OXFORD -- Ole Miss has added another player to its 2014 recruiting class.
Roderick Lawrence, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from South Plains Junior College, announced on Twitter that he has verbally committed to the Rebels. He can sign as soon as Wednesday, the first day of the spring signing period.
Lawrence averaged 13.1 points and 6.1 rebounds a game for South Plains this season. He started 34 of 35 games, averaging 31.2 minutes a night, and was a 39.7 percent shooter from the field (and 32.8 percent from 3-point range, where he took 201 of his 380 field goal attempts).
He's originally from Orlando, and will have three years to play two at Ole Miss.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy is being aggressive this spring to overhaul a roster that won 19 games and failed to advance beyond the SEC tournament quarterfinals. Lawrence and Tennessee State transfer MJ Rhett both were in Oxford on unofficial visits last weekend. Rhett, a senior forward who will be immediately eligible to play his final season, has not announced his final choice but told Scout.com he'll visit Miami soon.
Lawrence is the fifth commitment in the class, which is headlined by another JUCO shooting guard. But Stefan Moody is 5-foot-9 and more of a combo guard, while Lawrence could play the two and potentially the three because of his ability to rebound the basketball.
Ole Miss lost one senior off last season's team, Marshall Henderson (who also played at South Plains). Sophomore guard Derrick Millinghaus announced last week his plans to transfer.
Ole Miss also returns Martavious Newby at the two-guard position. Newby, a rising junior, is not a strong option offensively (3.2 points a game in 2013-14), but is the team's best perimeter defender, a good rebounder and a source of energy either starting or off the bench.

Lazarus Rising The Regan Diaries My Grandfather's Son
John Howard Ronald Regan Clarence Thomas
We'll decide who comes to this country and the circumstance in which they come
said John Howard when he introduced measures to stop the tide of illegal immigration by boat people.
A captivating political autobiography by the second longest serving prime-minister of Australia. American readers should be aware that the Liberal Party in Australia is the conservative side of politics - confusing, I know. Not recommended for Howard haters and trendies. An insight into Ronald Regan's presidency through excerpts from his own personal diaries that he kept during his time in the White House. Edit by the Historian Douglas Brinkley, omitting some significant historical moments but still a great value To Kill a Mockingbird, this is how Clarence Thomas summed up his near failed Senate approval by the Senate of his nomination to the Supreme Court of the USA. It was a despicable payback to a proud black man who refused to accept the liberal doctrine that patronises blacks.
you don't have to sit next to white person to learn how to read and write
he said. The bleeding hearts liberal Democrats hated it.
John Winston Howard Decision Points No Higher Honor
Peter Van Onselen &
Wayne Errington Gerorge W Bush Condoleezza Rice
An excellent analysis of John Howard's political life from his university days until just before he lost his fifth election in November 2007 to Kevin Rudd. The book is written in a dispassionate manner, packed with facts about the man, his achievements and failures. Love me or loath me Howard used to say but you know what you are getting.
Not suitable for Howard haters. I have done my best to write about the decisions I got right, those I got wrong, and what I would do differently if given the chance .
This is not a chronological biography as we normally expect; the book is organised by themes that called for the the most significant decsions during GW Bush presidency, as he sees it, subjects such 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kathrina, the Wall Street financial collapse, to name a few. A captivating detailed memoires of Condoleezza Rice time in Wasgington.
The book is well written, alsmost as if was intended to be a text book for students in Political Science, with details explanations and interesting behind the sceens anegdotes about world events in which Ms. Rice played active part as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State to George W Bush.
Courage And Consequences Surrender Is Not An Option At The Center Of The Storm
Karl Rove John Bolton George Tenet
Karl Rove's memoirs of his years as the political advisor to George W Bush from his decesion to run for the governorship of Texas until late in the second persidential term.
An interesting insight into the man and the political aspects of the Bush presidency as well as some score settling with his detractors.
John Bolton's political momoirs as under secretary for Arms Control with Bush (41) and the US Ambassador to the UN in Bush (43) administration. Although tedious at times its none the less enlightening to see how high diplomacy works (or rather not), particularly when it comes to the hypocrisy of the so-called US allies. The story of the former director of the CIA under Presidents Clinton and Bush (43). An interesting insight to decision making process on the War in Iraq and the War on Terror.

On a day as cold as today, Grimes's new video for ART ANGELS track 'Kill V. Maim', is perfect for melting the chill. Shot in Toronto, directed by Claire Boucher+ her brother Mac, you see Grimes + friends in a world where Gaspar Noe's film 'Enter The Void' (MUST see) left off, a cyberpunk void, full of colorful characters hanging out + carrying on. What's super funny + ironic is how the title credit is straight from the tv series 'Law & Order'.
As far as the track goes, like most of Grimes' tracks, it's infectious! This track will be on repeat for a while.

There is considerable confusion regarding the type species of Bermudella, Polycerella zoobotryon Smallwood, 1910, originally described from external anatomy only and whose description was later (Smallwood, 1912) completed with anatomical data based on additional specimens and not on the 5 mm specimen illustrated in the original description. The genus Bermudella Odhner, 1941, is based on the latter, with a radular formula n x 3.1.0.1.3, whereas the original description is interpreted as a species of Okenia, with a radular formula n x 1.1.0.1.1 by Clark (1984) and Ortea et al. (2009). Therefore, as pointed out by Ortea et al. (2009) it is possible that the specimens on which Smallwood (1912) based his redescription, and on which Odhner (1941) based the genus Bermudella, are not conspecific and not congeneric with the specimen originally described by Smallwood (1910), and that they could be an undescribed species. This case can be resolved under ICZN: "Art. 70.3. Misidentified type species. If an author discovers that a type species was misidentified (...) the author may select, and thereby fix as type species, the species that will, in his or her judgment, best serve stability and universality, either [70.3.1.] the nominal species previously cited as type species [Arts. 68, 69], or [70.3.2.] the taxonomic species actually involved in the misidentification". Pola (2014) designated a neotype of Polycerella zoobotryon which defines it as a species of Okenia, but no action seems to have been taken regarding Polycerella zoobotryon sensu Smallwood, 1912 and the type species of Bermudella.

Coronavirus: Riverside School Board students, teachers create video to thank front-line workers
Canadian Cases
Hand Washing Guide
By Gloria Henriquez	Global News
Updated July 8, 2020 2:07 pm
'Under the Rainbow,' a project created by a Grade 4 teacher at Greenfield Park Primary International School. Monday, April 27, 2020.	 Global Montreal
The classic song Over the Rainbow has been used during the novel coronavirus crisis to lift people's spirits.
Inspired by the song, a teacher on Montreal's south shore has re-written the lyrics to thank front-line workers.
"It was our way to say thank you to all of the workers who are doing what they do so that we can stay where we stay, safe at home," said Don Murray, the Grade 4 teacher at the Greenfield Park Primary International School behind the initiative.
The re-written song was named Under the Rainbow.
The lyrics underline the efforts front-line workers are undergoing to keep people safe while the rest of stay home.
"Somewhere under the rainbow, we must say / That the home that we live in / We're not stuck, we are safe," part of the lyrics said.
READ MORE: Who's behind the giant rainbow you've seen roaming Montreal? We solved the mystery
To create a video, Murray enlisted the help of six students from the Riverside School Board to perform the song, an artist, a music teacher and a video editor.
All the participants did their part from home.
"It's perfectly imperfect," said Murray.
The children's voices were mixed together with the track, which played over a video recording of the artist creating her drawing of children under a rainbow, near their home with a "thank you sign."

"I really think it captured our thankfulness," Murray told Global News.
Murray created the project, which was posted online last week, through the non-profit Kids Sake, a new organization he co-created that seeks to improve the well-being of children through academic and lifestyle activities.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rallied to record highs on Monday, with the Nasdaq breaking above the 8,000 level for the first time, as investors were encouraged by news that the United States and Mexico reached a trade agreement.
A senior U.S. trade official announced a deal with Mexico to replace the North American Trade Agreement, adding that talks with Canada were expected to begin immediately in hopes of reaching a final agreement by Friday.
The upbeat trade outlook was boosted further as European Union officials said Washington was pressuring the EU to speed up tariff talks.

Trade-vulnerable industrials such as Boeing Co and Caterpillar Inc were up 1.2 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively, leading the sector's advance and pulling the Dow higher.

Luxury retailer Tiffany & Co was down 2.6 percent ahead of its second-quarter earnings report expected early Tuesday.

The focus of the BCDP is to provide opportunities for all voters to become educated about all of the candidates for President.
Many of the Presidential candidates have hired local organizers focused on Beaufort County. Many of them have local offices and need volunteers for staffing their offices, canvassing, and phone banking.

24 Hours in Barcelona
Posted on December 29, 2016 by stuartnoel
"Un sueño me envolvió
Tal vez estás aquí
Un instinto me guiaba"
The immortal lines of the song Barcelona, sung by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé never fails to inspire me to think about the glorious scenes of the 1992 Summer Olympics. The images of the diving competition, with the competitors jumping high, silhouetted against the city down below was enough to inspire me to visit and whilst the city still has some major issues to address, with prior knowledge comes wisdom and a great 24 hours can be experienced time and time again.
Whether you are coming for the cuisine, the culture, the climate or the Camp Nou, Barcelona is a wonderful city less than two hours flight from the UK. Most major airlines fly to Aeropuerto El Prat Llobregat, 7.5 miles down the coast from the city centre. Metro line 9 as well as a train line run from the airport to the city centre on a regular basis. There is also a bus that runs to Plaça Espanya.
The question really is where to start. For those with a head for heights, the cable car that runs from Montjurïc to Mirador on the edge of the beaches and restaurants of Barcelonetta. A return trip dangling precariously over the city centre is €12 (€8 single) and offers some amazing views. Once you are in Montjurïc you have a whole host of places to visit. The Olympic Stadium is free to enter and soak up some of the magic from the summer of 1992. There's a small museum dedicated to the Olympics at the far end of the stadium. Five minutes away from the entrance to the stadium is the amazing Fundació Joan Miró, the home of a significant number of works from one of the 20th century's most influential artists. Entry starts from €12. Also on the road back down to Plaça Espanyol is the Poble Espanyol, a recreation of life in different areas of Spain complete with the architecture and food. Admission is €12. If you head in this direction after nightfall then you be lucky to see the fountains in front of the Museo Nacional D'Art de Catalunya sing and dance.
One of the must-see sights in Europe let alone Barcelona is the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece that started in 1882 and is due for completion in 2026 at the latest estimate. It is a work of art and you can explore every nook and crevice, including the scarily tall towers. Barcelona is Gaudí town and you can explore some of his other work close-by such as Casa Milà or La Pedrera with its roof terrace.
You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy the majesty of the Camp Nou, the second most popular tourist attraction in the city. Whilst tickets for most games are hard to come by (although it's worth checking here 48 hours before a game just in case) you can visit the stadium on most days and take in a tour of the ground and the museum as well as the obligatory visit to the café and club shop to buy your FCB slippers. Nearest metro stops are
La Rambla is seen by many as the heart of the city, following the line of an old river (rambla means riverbed not ramble as many people think). At the bottom of the avenue is the Christoper Columbus monument which has a daily hidden entrance but is open to ascend and get some decent views of the surrounding area. Keep heading seawards and eventually you'll reach the the Aquarium (admission €18) which is a popular haunt for families. Keep your wits about you on the lower part of La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter and the area near Parallel as this is where most petty crime occurs, something the city has been woefully neglectful in trying to clear up.
Just an hour south of the city centre by train is the seaside town of Salou where one of Europe's biggest theme parks can be found. Portaventura has a link with Universal and certainly has some decent thrill rides and will be joined by Ferrari Land in March 2017. The park has its own train station and is certain worth a visit if city life gets too much.
The city is also home to Tapas, which as you'd expect can be as cheap or as expensive as you want. Recommended venues to indulge include Tickets in Avenue del Paral-lel which is in one of the fifty best bars in the world. El Vaso de Oro in Barcelonetta is one of the most popular on the beach front and is also famous for its beer whilst the fantastically named Tossa close to the Sagrada Familia on Carrer de Nàpols is underrated.
Looking for somewhere unusual to put your head down for the night? Barcelona has hotels to accommodate every budget but there's a few that stand out from the crowd and won't break the bank. Acta Mimic Hotel is full of light that can be adapted to your moods and is located a short walk from La Rambla. Hotel Neri has all the feel of a luxury boutique hotel without the price tag and is located at the heart of the Gothic Quarter whilst the Silken Diagonal Hotel sits on the main shopping street (Diagonal) and superbly appointed rooms for almost pocket money prices (ok maybe a bit more).
For those who want to sample some craft beer whilst in town, and let's face it, who doesn't then head to either The Garage Beer Company in Carrer del Counsel de Cent which houses it's own microbrewery or Abirrodero in Carrer de Vila i Vilà. There hundreds of bars across the city but a couple of stand out venues due to their location and theme are The Manchester Bar, in homage to everything from, erm Manchester, which can be found in Carter de Milans whilst El Bosc de les Fades translated as 'The Forest of Fairies' whisks you away into a fairytale fantasy. For a bar with a view head to the Grand Central Hotel where the Skybar offer an infinity pool and sunset views to die for.
Millions come to Barcelona each and every year and enjoy everything the city has to offer – why not be one of them?

Q: Given a BST we need to check if all the root nodes value is the average of its left and right node. If not delete the root Given a Binary Search Tree my task is to check whether each node is = to the average of its left node value and right node value or not. if the condition fails the delete the particular node. The bottom up approach would be used as per the given eg i could visualize but the challenge i am facing is that if while coming up that is when stack falls the if condition fails and left child is null i return right child ....if right is null i return left child but what is both are there????
Then what would be the possibility and replacing one child would also change the avg for lower ones so then what?
eg provided was->
input:
        10
      /    \
     4      15

      /    \
     4      16
    / \
   1   7

Someone please help me with the code.

A: I am getting one approach. Use bottom up approach :
Firstly check if the current node is average of left and right or not. If it is then no problem but if it is not average then delete the current node by seeing these 3 cases: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/binary-search-tree-set-2-delete/
Then do above steps till you reached the root of the tree and this definitely provide a way to the solution.
Correct me if I am wrong in any step.

YOUR STORY: Vale Bob Hawke
by bmuir
17th May 2019 7:13 AM
Bob Hawke's milestones included:
* The floating of the Australian dollar.
* The introduction of Medicare.
* The banning of mining in Antarctica.
* He lifted the lid, allowing Australian access into Pine Gap.
* He saved Tasmania's Franklin River.
* He presided over the World Heritage listing of the Daintree, Kakadu and Shark Bay, and doubled Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage area.
* He helped to start up the national Landcare movement, which now also operates in over 20 countries around the world.
* He boycotted foreign investment in South Africa. This investment boycott was the dagger that finally immobilised apartheid.
* He did not consult cabinet before making a tearful promise to allow Chinese students to stay after the Tiananmen Square massacre, because it was the right thing to do.
* He won four federal elections, making him Labor's longest-serving prime minister and Australia's third-longest-serving prime minister behind Menzies and Howard.
* He made the Guinness Book of Records in 1954 for sculling 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds.

There are various ways of exchanging money to buy travel money in Mt Pleasant. You have the option of using a money changer like Travelex or Travel Money Oz, then there's also the choice to use any of the banks. But which one should you use? Here we share our tips on getting the best exchange rate based on different situations.
You must be wondering how is it possible to get a good exchange rate through the bank. It is possible, especially if you are buying or selling an uncommon currency. That means any other currency besides USD, EUR, JPY and NZD. The main reason for their competitive rates is due to the fact that they have a larger stock of currencies.
Our Verdict: When buying less common currencies such as Turkish Lira (TRY), an Australian bank may turn out to be the cheapest option.

Second day of our vacation started out with Muir Woods where we had a lovely hike, saw a chipmunk, some deer and teeny tiny birds amongst the giant redwoods. Very beautiful and peaceful. From there we went to Muir Overlook, where we had a great view of the Pacific and saw ravens the size of a cat! Oh, and some sort of groundhog or similar hole dwelling vermin. Then we drove down to Muir Beach where, despite Josh's complaints about getting sand in his shoes, we saw starfish and anemones. Then we drove back in to Sausalito and had dinner on the bay at Scoma's. We split a dungeness crab and I had fish and chips with some truly amazing tartar sauce. Capped the meal off with some tiramisu and a boozey coffee. We drove back across the bay to San Francisco and drove around the city at night, stopping up at Coit Tower so I could take some night shots of the city. I had fun taking some pics out of the moving car window too, which I'll share later. Here are some pics from our outdoorsy day in the bay area. The rest can be seen here.


SD Mines students involved in nanoscience and nanoengineering research include -- Top (left to right): Divya Kota, Ishara Ratnayake and Lin Kang. Bottom (left to right):: Ni Putu Dewi Nurmalasari, Joe Brett (phys undergrad), Divya Kota, Steve Smith (Ph.D., Professor), Laura Brunmaier (ABS undergrad), Lin Kang, Anahita Haghizadeh, Tochukwu Emeakaroha, Ishara Ratnayake (all Nano Ph.D. students).
The South Dakota Board of Regents has approved a new master's degree in nanoscience and nanoengineering at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology.
These fields of science and engineering form a basis for the development of nanotechnology, focusing on understanding and manipulating matter on a scale one-hundred thousand times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
The study of matter on these tiny scales holds immense potential for scientific and engineering breakthroughs across many areas. These include the South Dakota research and development target areas of energy and environment, human health and nutrition, and materials and advanced manufacturing. Research in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at SD Mines complements these target areas with its emphases on electronic and photonic materials, for instance next generation solar cells; nano-biotechnology, for example live cell imaging in three dimensions using lattice light sheet microscopy or visualizing cell membrane bending with nanometer resolution; and the development of nano-composites as part of the newly announced CNAM-bio.
SD Mines already offers a Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. This program has placed 25 Ph.D. graduates in academia, national laboratories and industry. The new master's program provides an additional pathway for students to receive graduate level credentials in nanotechnology.
Increasing the state's capacity in nanoscience and nanotechnology is important for future tech sector job growth. There is a national and international demand for skilled personnel in industry to support innovations in these fields. According to the State of South Dakota's Science and Technology Plan, published in April 2013, these areas each experienced job growth in South Dakota from 2006-2011 that exceeded national averages. In the United States, the national labor statistics bureau reports that jobs requiring graduate level nanotechnologists are predicted to increase by nine percent in the next 10 years.


Today was one of the toughest days yet of motherhood for me. We are a relatively healthy family, but the children go through the usual sicknesses and the inevitable time in which they're building up their immunity. Until now, however, we've dealt with them on an individual basis. Today, I learned how to console an inconsolable 20 month old, feed a 3.5 month old, work the On Demand feature on our cable system, and talk on the phone to the doctor all at the same time. And, let's not forget the most important task at hand - not allowing the sick germs to transfer from the baby in my right arm to the baby in my left.
Jack's 3 week "cold" turned into an all out bug last night and Blake bore the front line for hours on end. He's an amazing father in that respect (and many others).....waking endlessly during the night for the kids and often not sleeping at all for them. I stayed in our room to tend to Lainey's night time feedings and Blake spent many hours in the chair downstairs watching Happy Feet and hugging Jack.
Morning arrived and duty called...Blake was out the door and off to work...Carter off to school. We were a crying mess for several hours and then things seemed to calm down a bit.....only to start again in the late afternoon. Until - of course - Blake walks in and I escape to a movie. This seems to be their cue for change. No vomiting, no hysteria, and bed time as usual.
Perhaps I should have gone to a movie last night.
Dad seems to bring a calm to everyone that I'm incapable of. And, this often brings "funny" comments such as, "What's so hard about this whole staying-at-home thing?" which are not always that funny, actually, especially when you're on your 3rd outfit for the day.
I think we've survived the worst of the worst. We've changed the sheets on Jack's bed 1/2 dozen times in the last 24 hours. We've washed and dried just about every stuffed animal in the house because the precious boy sleeps with one under each arm at night and during nap time. He prefers his white polar bear more than any, but we can sneak in Elmo and his much loved giraffe here and there when needed.
A picture of our baby boy....actually not sick here and taken a few days ago because I simply love seeing him sleep like this. We just introduced a blanket to his crib a few months ago and he feels like such a big boy with it.....all the while, I'm wishing he'd stay a baby forever.
Ohhh...what a terrible day! So sorry! Guys just seem to have that calming thing down. With you dealing with them all day, a break is needed for sanity for sure!!!
Don't they? I don't have it. Maybe it's because I'm the one carrying around the rectal thermometer and the suppositories.
Saw Charlie Wilson's War. Fantastic!

Q: SQL string field lengths in a db having about 6 different types of addresses, with about 20 markets and environments (Someone suggested I should ask this here too; previously posted on https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/231335/sql-string-field-lengths-in-a-db-having-about-6-different-types-of-addresses-wi )
I have been advocating lately that all string fields should be ntext / nvarchar(max) - we're using MS SQL Server. The objections seem to be either "it's not a good idea" (without any reason) or "that would allow the customer to send a lot of crap". Since I believe in filtering out the crap before it hits the database, is there a good reason why my idea is bad?
My main argument for not limiting the string fields is that I have discovered that we have about six different types of addresses (customer, reseller and so on), with about 20 markets (each having its own database) and environments. I have spotted at least ten different lengths for say Address1 and the same thing happens for other fields. Instead of "standardizing" them and then discovering that we missed something, I suggested that we go ahead and limit the inputs and let the database handle anything.
Does anyone have a pro/con I don't see?
