Claude Lewis: Black Journalism Pioneer Dies at 82
Work hard in silence, let success make the noise
Stacy Corea, Staff Writer
Claude Lewis, co-founder of the National Association of Black Journalists, passed away from a long battle with diabetes at the age of 82 on Thursday, March 16, 2017, according to NABJ News.
Lewis was a New York City native, who graduated college with a degree in English. He started his career as a reporter, and made history in 1967 for being the first African American columnist in Philadelphia writing for the "Evening Bulletin." As a trailblazing journalist, he covered the civil rights movement and interviewed extraordinary civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X. He also interviewed well-known authors and icons James Baldwin and Langston Hughes.
During the time when Blacks weren't established in the newsroom, Lewis noticed the need for more opportunities for upcoming and enthusiastic Black journalists in the field. He co-founded the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists in 1973 and it was a founding chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists that would come two years later. Today the NABJ is one of the largest journalism organizations in the country providing resources to journalists of color and career support. Lewis made history again when he founded the first national African American newspaper, The National Leader in 1982.
Claude Lewis was a "gentle soul and a quiet man with a boisterous spirit in his journalistic voice that made an impact," according to NABJ president Sarah Glover.
She also had kind words and said, "He stood up and started his career at a time where there weren't that many black journalists in the media in significant roles like his, but he had an important and powerful voice that he used to make sure the coverage was fair and balanced, he was an extraordinary journalist, not just a black journalist. What makes me proud is that he was a multimedia journalist before there was a such a thing."
Other journalists took time to acknowledge and remember the remarkable Claude Lewis and his work. He is and will forever be remembered as a true iconic figure in American history who led the pathway for African American journalists across the country.

Andrew Sacks
Chairman of the Medical Marijuana and Hemp Department - Sacks Weston Diamond
Andrew Sacks is involved with medical marijuana and industrial hemp law formation, regulation, and updates in Pennsylvania, and he is often considered the leading legal professional in the state for these matters. In 2015, he was selected by the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH) as the only lawyer to serve on their State Level Coalition. He has since worked extensively with the association to promote fair laws surrounding medical marijuana, cannabis, and hemp, focusing largely on how lawyers can advocate legally for people working within those industries. He has spoken at several seminars, including those for theMarijuana Policy Project (MPP), the Pennsylvania Canna-Business Seminar, and the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
Mr. Sacks has personally lobbied state senators in conjunction with ATACH (The American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp) to move Pennsylvania's medical marijuana regulations forward. His efforts have helped Pennsylvania create the medical marijuana program currently in formation. He played an integral part in founding the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Bar Associations' Medical Marijuana and Hemp Law Committees and in helping the Pennsylvania Bar Association gain an understanding of the complexities inherent to medical marijuana law. He is now the co-chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Medical Marijuana and Hemp Law Committee (appointed by Pennsylvania Bar Association President Sara Austin), as well as the Philadelphia Bar Association Business Law Section: Medical Marijuana and Hemp Committee. But perhaps his best contribution was to get the National Lupus Organization to recognize the benefits of medical marijuana and to change its policy to reflect it.

What was supposed to be a productive day writing papers in a coffeeshop turned out to be a pretty relaxing albeit unproductive day re-reading one of my most favorite novels from my bookshelf. I first read The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes back in my undergrad college days. I let my sister borrow this book recently since I wanted to keenly influence her on discovering great reads from contemporary authors. I was really glad that she loved it though because our reading genres are almost always polar opposites. She's more of a Stephen King type of reader and I'm more into the romantic / fantasy / surrealism genre.
That quote in the beginning of the book made such a profound impact on me right afrer I first read it. I even photoshopped that quote and posted it on Pinterest a few years ago. But reading it again now a few years later, I think I can relate to it more.
The concept of growing old and chasing time had been one of the major themes in The Sense of an Ending. It had been something that fascinated me most. Being young makes you feel invincible. Like there are endless possibilities that await you. But a few years after I graduated and finally stepped into the corporate world, I realized that now I can identify myself more into Tony's sentiments. I understood his perspective more now than a few years ago, specifically about the fact that he blocked out the bad memories of his college days such as his scathing letter to Adrian. There are chapters in life that we all want to forget and I understood Tony more now that I have had a few years of living in the real world myself while I struggle to master the art of "adulting" as I get older.
Another central theme in the book was the concept of suicide. Adrian's suicide came as a shock to Tony and his friends. He seemed like a clever boy with a bright future ahead of him and taking his own life abruptly seemed like such a waste. It was until later in the book that we found out why he really killed himself. What Tony first thought was an admirable reason which stated that "a free person has a philosophical duty to examine the nature of life, and may then choose to renounce it" was actually motivated by selfishness. He didn't want to be held accountable for his actions and he chose the easy way out – by ending his life.
I also watched a recent movie adaptation of this book. Tony was played by Jim Broadbent (aka Professor Slughorn). Although the movie was good and it's admirable that it stayed true to the novel's storyline, it still failed to resonate to me as much as the book did. And that I think is the magic of The Sense of an Ending, because every single time I pick it up again, it seems like there is still something more to the story that is waiting to be uncovered.
I don't normally buy a lot of poetry books and when I do it's usually a collection of poems that I've read before and I want a physical copy of. But a few month ago, I stumbled upon this one by chance while I was a bit early for my date with my boyfriend. So I went to a bookstore to pass the time while waiting for my date and picked it up.
I was instantly mesmerized by the words of the first few pages and after a few minutes, I was hooked and I can't put it down. Despite wanting it so badly and just go full on "take my money" mode, I decided not to buy it yet. For one, this book was way too expensive from my usual finds. I usually look at secondhand bookstores to add books for my bookshelf and it's always usually something that I've read before and I want my own copy of. But this one is brand new, hardbound, and way over my budget. So I did what any rational millennial would do, I decided to sleep on it.
A week later, when I still couldn't get the book out of my mind I decided to give in and buy it. And I have no regrets because this is one of the best splurges I had when it comes to books.
The verses of this collection really moved me. Words that were written in a typewriter almost felt like an art form that's waiting to be discovered. Different pieces of paper, receipts, photos, and even pages from a book, added a more colorful story to the poems written on it.
I usually read the book while I'm commuting to the city for my grad school classes and every page I turn left me feeling inspired. I felt like there's so much wonder and beauty left to be seen in our lives. It's actually a very relaxing book to read when you're stuck sitting somewhere around the corner of a coffeeshop to pass the time.
After reading the entire thing, sometimes I still bring the book to school with me. I open up random pages from the book and read it while I'm on the road. I was enthralled with his work because his poems resonate even to people who don't normally read poetry. Writing something in a typwriter seems very brave and raw, without a chance to edit, the words felt vulnerable and beautiful. The author's spur-of-the-moment thoughts were immortalized in lovely pieces of typewritten poems. It's ingeniously crafty and creative. As someone who writes for a living but struggles to put their own creative thoughts in a piece of paper, this wonderful collection of poetry seems like a good place to thaw out those creative juices and be inspired.


[17 February 2017] Following a short winter break, Chinese authorities have recommenced demolitions and forced evictions at the Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in eastern Tibet. Those evicted have been forced to sign pledges never to return and are subject to political re-education classes. In addition, local authorities have introduced new restrictions for those wishing to study at the Institute.
The destruction of Larung Gar stopped temporarily at the beginning of January due to the onset of winter conditions (picture right, from RFA taken in December). Initially, it was expected the work teams would return in April in order to complete the demolitions and evictions by September, as set out in the original government order. However, according to Radio Free Asia, Chinese officials have decided to expedite the work and have set a new completion date of 30 March. Demolitions were expected to recommence on 10 February.
Demolition work and forced evictions at Larung Gar began on 20 July 2016, following a government order to reduce the resident population to 5,000 persons by September 2017. Officially, the population of Larung Gar was said to be 10,000, however unofficial estimates believe the population to be considerably higher.
It is unclear exactly how many monks and nuns have been forced to leave so far as the Chinese authorities have not provided any official information. In mid-December, a Radio Free Asia source estimated 9,000 people had already been forcibly expelled from Larung Gar.
Evicted monks and nuns are being forced to sign documents vowing to never return to Larung Gar. According to Radio Free Asia, the documents also contain pledges to "uphold the unity of the nation" and not to engage in behaviour opposing government policy in the area.
Many of those evicted are also subject to political re-education classes upon their return home. Such classes usually involve pledging allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and denouncing the Dalai Lama.
Chinese officials have introduced new restrictions on those wishing to study at Larung Gar. Students must now complete a political exam and obtain approval from the local authorities.
According to Radio Free Asia, individuals "wanting to study Tibetan Buddhism [at Larung Gar] must now pass a "political examination" administered by the police." If passed, a permit can then be applied for from the Serthar county government. However, it is believed only monks and nuns from the local area will be considered for entry.

Neither rain, nor fog, nor wind stops Boeing's laser weapon destroying targets
Neither rain, nor fog, nor win...
The HEL-MD has successfully engaged targets in foggy conditions
The HEL-MD is mounted on an Oshkosh tactical vehicle
If you've ever gone outside on a foggy night and shined a laser pointer about, you've seen two things: how flashy a raygun it makes, and the problem laser weapons face in such conditions as fog and rain scatters the energy that should be destroying missiles. However, in recent tests at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, Boeing and the US Army have shown that their High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) is capable of successfully locking onto and taking out targets in very laser-unfriendly foggy, rainy, and windy maritime conditions.
The HEL-MD is the US Army's first mobile, high-energy laser, Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) platform. It consists of a 10-kW high-energy laser mounted on an Oshkosh tactical vehicle and is capable of tracking and engaging (a polite way to say blasting out of the sky) a variety of targets.
It has already undergone extensive testing at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico in 2013 and at Eglin earlier this year, and now Boeing says that it has managed to engage 150 aerial targets. And not just in the clear, sunny skies of New Mexico, but in the windy, rainy, and foggy conditions in Florida that whould normally make for a bad day for the lasers. But the HEL-MD still managed to deal with its targets, including 60 mm mortars and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Exactly how this was done is something that Boeing is keeping close to its chest, but it's likely that it involves using a reference laser beam to probe through, for example, the fog so that computers could analyze how the atmospheric conditions were distorting the laser. The optics in the HEL-MD would then refocus the weapon beam, so the distortion, instead of spreading it or bending it off course, puts it back into the right shape.
According to Boeing, the next step for the HEL-MD is to boost the power by swapping out the 10-kW laser with a 50- or 60-kW version as part of a demonstration of how well the laser weapon does against other rocket, artillery, mortar and UAV targets.
"With capabilities like HEL MD, Boeing is demonstrating that directed energy technologies can augment existing kinetic strike weapons and offer a significant reduction in cost per engagement," says Dave DeYoung, Boeing Directed Energy Systems director. "With only the cost of diesel fuel, the laser system can fire repeatedly without expending valuable munitions or additional manpower."

Spot on Nelson! The MIC that Eisenhower warned us about the year before I was born is alive and thriving. However, I would like one of these as a daily driver, parking could be a issue though.

No,Nelson,lasers would be used mainly used to defend against incoming ordinance,which is,as a rule, unmanned.
Dave Lawrence September 10, 2014 07:07 AM
I'd be more inclined to be supportive of this "technology" if it were pointing upward at asteroid and meteorite incursions, rather than being used as yet another means to dispassionately kill people
Slowburn September 11, 2014 05:24 PM
Do the people complaining about an air defense laser really prefer throwing tons of metal into the air without a care as to where it comes down to achieve the same thing.
Ike had just watch his country go bananas over sputnik and including defense contractors taking advantage of it from the loft position of worrying how he was going to justify to the world flying a spy satellite over Russia and them, when Russia gifted him with open skies. Being a military planer second only to Monty he could see the mistakes made in the mad rush to counter the Russian space program. Fools and cowards have used his words to justify their wrong position ever since opposing every improvement in defense systems developed.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Georgy Girl based on the book by Margaret Forster
Georgy Girl
based on the book by Margaret Forster
One of the quintessential movies of the 1960s, Georgy Girl epitomized the 'Swinging London' lifestyle. Even if you've never seen it, you know the title song by the Seekers. Some of you, right now are singing Hey there, Georgy Girl in your heads.
"No matter what I try... God's always got a custard pie up his sleeve.''
A homely but vivacious young woman dodges the amorous attentions of her father's middle-aged employer while striving to capture some of the glamorous life of her swinging London roommate.
Georgy Girl was played Lynn Redgrave of the acclaimed British acting dynasty—sister of Vanessa, daughter of Michael—in her first starring role for which she won the Golden Globe and was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance. Redgrave was born on this day, March 8, 1943, and died on May 10, 2010.
Georgy Girl also starred Charlotte Rampling—still actively working (we loved her in The Sense of An Ending based on the Julian Barnes novel and The Little Stranger based on the book by Sarah Waters) James Mason and Alan Bates costarred and you can watch the movie on Amazon, YouTube, iTunes, Vudu, and GooglePlay.
"Georgy is young, gregarious and fun - she is also large, self-confessedly ugly and desperate for love. Georgy bears her fate bravely as she alternates between playing the fool and humbling herself before Meredith, her pretty, callous flatmate, although when James, middle-aged socialite and self-imposed 'Uncle', asks Georgy to become his mistress, she is tempted to accept. Then Meredith announces that she is pregnant and Jos, the expectant father, decides he is in love with Georgy...''
As upbeat as the theme song is, as kooky as the trailer plays, it's clear that Georgy Girl embraces Georgy's essential loneliness, an odd duck in a world where swans get all the love. It's been years since I watched the movie but I have a strong hunch that more than laughter, the material will have me crying a tear or two. Hey there, Georgy Girl. I hope you've found some happiness now.

The Hollywood Reporter's Roundtable - The Actors *
Congrats! You've just reached one of my most widely visited posts. I get it, lots of us want to hear what actors think about acting straight from their own lips. I've got a hunch if you find this post from 2013 interesting, you'll also find this year's more current video noteworthy too so I'm including it below. Cheers!
Last Sunday I shared The Hollywood Reporter's Writers Roundtable, a lively discussion centered around the process and challenge of scripting stories for film, be it an original idea or adapting from another source. It was an interesting bunch of writers responsible for some of this years most talked about films including George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov (Monuments Men), Julie Delpey (Before Midnight), Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said), John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniel's The Butler).
This week I want to share THR's Actors panel. Watch as Stephen Galloway, THR's longtime moderator, facilit…
12 Paris Locations that Fans of the Classic "Gigi" Won't Want to Miss #book2movie
Gigi and Gaston catch everyone's eyes as they enter world-famous Maxim's
Today's Dreaming of France post is a reprise of my longest and most popular Dreaming of France entry. A trip through the Parisian locations used in the classic film Gigi, based on the book by Colette, and one of my favorite film classics. Originally published 3/30/2015
"Gigli?" my son asks, wondering why I'd be at all interested in the Ben Affleck, J-Lo disaster, the epitome of a bad romance, made even worse because its epic failure has been immortalized on film.
"No! Not Gigli. Gigi. Very famous movie musical? Takes place in Paris during the Belle Epoque? Won 9 Oscars? Starred Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan? Vincent Minelli directed?"
"Hmmm" he nods, a shrugging respect for the director, meaning maybe he'll watch it with me one day especially as he's also curious about the Belle Epoque and wouldn't mind going back to Paris and getting a good look at Maxim…
Saturday Matinee: Romeo + Juliet starring the real Leonardo DiCaprio #book2movies
Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo + Juliet at 21
Have you seen the images of Leonardo DiCaprio's doppelganger going around? He's a 21 year old Swedish bartender/musician/model named Konrad Annerud (@Konrad_Annerud) who looks a lot like Leo back in the day.
This is Konrad Annerud. Looking a bit like Leo is not the same as being Leo.
This is what being Leo looks like.
DiCaprio, who turns forty one in a couple of weeks, was just twenty one himself when Baz Luhrman cast him in Romeo + Juliet. Claire Danes was his 17 year old Juliet.
Roger Ebert hated it. HATED it. Gave it just two stars and said he'd never "seen anything remotely approaching the mess that the new punk version of "Romeo & Juliet" makes of Shakespeare's tragedy." Well, we know anything by Baz Luhrman is going to be controversial. Some of us loved his Great Gatsby, others not so much. Ditto with Moulin Rouge. His unconventional approach really bothers the purists, but not Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. He adored the 1996 film.

We asked Marketing Manager Andrew Kane his views on how an online radio station could fare against traditional stations, "The rise in smartphone use has been immense over the last few years and fast connection speeds mean that people are often forgetting traditional broadcast media in favour of internet based transmissions. We not only have to compete with local and national broadcasters but worldwide media now and I'm more extremely pleased to say we've developed a package that will attract many listeners".
The station has some advertising space available for local companies but get in quick as space won't stay available for long.

I always had the feeling that it what not possible to improve my communication or management skills. It was possible to improve the technical skills, but not the "soft" skills: one was a communicator or was not. Actually, this is false. It is possible to improve your communication and your management skills: that's what did the Balancing Act for me.
At agile open, we ran only part of Balancing Act (the part on congruent action, how to actively balance self, other and context ). . I'm working with a group of facilitators to co-market this as a self-contained course. We're now working on making a description that is more suitable for marketing it. Seeing the feedback we got from the trial run, this seems time well spent.

Propak West Africa welcomes the new decade with plans for the eighth edition to be the biggest one yet having almost completely sold out.
News Propak West Africa welcomes the new decade with plans for the eighth edition to be the biggest one yet having almost completely sold out.
POSTED: 19th Mar
2019 saw Propak West Africa in its most successful edition to date. An impressive 89% of exhibitors said they achieved their goals at the exhibition, and as a result 82% of them re-booked onsite!
For the new decade, the organisers, Afrocet Montgomery, are guaranteeing even more for the exhibition. September 2020 will mark the show's 8th edition and is expected to welcome more than 5,000 key industry stakeholders and more than 200 leading industry brands as they showcase their products and services. Propak West Africa is set to grow 31% in net space making the floorplan a remarkable 2,900sqm in comparison to 2,208sqm the year before.
But that's not all that's new this year. Propak West Africa has had a little makeover reflecting the growth and development of the largest packaging, plastics, food processing, labelling and print exhibition in the West African Region. Later in the year, a brand-new website will be rolled out and organisers will introduce the brand new Propak West Africa Connect App. The new app will effectively serve as a matchmaking tool for all exhibitors and visitors. All registered users will be able to pre-organise meetings with every exhibitor, visitor and speaker, as well as earmark conferences they'd like to attend and create a personal schedule to maximise their time at the event.
This year's line-up of exhibiting brands will include Sasol as platinum sponsors for the event in addition to Atlas Copco, Beaumont Aromatic and SkySat Technologies.
Corporate Sales Manager, Vikash Dadhich, from SkySat Technologies when asked about Propak West Africa in 2019 said: "We are proud to be part of an event which is organized very well. We will be part of it always. It's a great opportunity to showcase our products and services and meet new and existing customers."
On the incredible development of Propak West Africa the last few years, Regional Director George Pearson said: "Every year Propak West Africa goes from strength to strength which we feel is indicative of the incredible growth opportunities we're seeing in the market at present. Our successful re-book rate of 82% in 2019 demonstrates our commitment to ensuring we deliver a valuable expo for every single one of our participants.", and when asked what exhibitors and visitors can expect for the 2020 edition he said: "With the new decade now here, we're heavily investing in growing the success of the show even more with tools like our new Website and Event App which will make navigating the expo and establishing key connections among attendees that much easier. It's going to be an exciting year for us, so stay tuned for more updates!".
Propak West Africa is the region's largest exhibition and conference dedicated to the rapidly expanding sectors of packaging, plastics, printing and food processing. Taking place in West Africa's economic hub; Lagos, Nigeria, the exhibition will be held between the 15 – 17 September 2020 at the Landmark Centre.

We invited Victoria to design a table scape that was stylish, elegant and colourful but with a rustic twist – one that brides could easily replicate or draw inspiration from.
By far the most valuable piece of advice I can pass on to couples styling their own wedding is to know your venue intimately. You need to work with the décor and style, not against it. Susan Williams from The Butterfly Lounge says "For brides wanting to do some floral styling themselves, rustic or garden-like styles are achievable. Make sure you source and order the flowers ahead of time and allow more time than you think you will need. Leave the bouquets, buttonholes and corsages to a well-regarded florist. These require skill to be created 'just right'".
Tea light candles have been used for low-level light while recycled wine bottles are employed for taller dinner candles that add romance to the setting. A canopy of bud lighting has been erected above the table setting, giving the feeling of dining under the stars. The base for our setting is a raw timber table and mismatched timber chairs.
Sourcing and providing your own vases is a cost-effective choice. Scouring your local op-shop or flea market can turn up interesting shapes, as can looking in your supermarket aisle! Gather a selection of containers of different heights and sizes to create interest in your table scape. Vases for this shoot were spray-painted gold to complement the rich colours of the flowers. Simply wash and dry the vessels before painting in a well ventilated area. If you are providing vases to your florist, be sure that she/he knows the dimensions or have the vases delivered to them in plenty of time so they can determine the quantity of flowers required.
The napkin fold you select is the easiest and most affordable way to add a point of difference to any table setting. You can easily find tutorials online -- some of my favourites are: The standard fold is clean and chic and can be used to display decorative details such as the halved figs shown. The pocket fold, perfect for the minimalist bride, is a great way to present cutlery or even display your personalised menu. The napkin roll is one of my favourites! It is so easy to fold and looks great when dressed up with this hanging amaranth.
The table runner and napery are made from a neutral coloured fabric. To make, buy enough fabric allowing extra for an overhang at each end of the table, cut the fabric to the desired width allowing extra material for a hem, and sew the edges with a straight stitch. Matching napkins can be made from the same fabric in the same manner.

Before you learn more about timeshare resales, you must first know what timeshare is all about and that is share in time. Such a share that you keep could be in a vacation club, a resort, or with a developer. There are a number of timeshare developers where they offer these timeshares and timeshare points to the members. By having your own share, you are entitled to stay in the said resort in period of time that you have bought. Thus, for example, if you have bought a timeshare week at a particular hotel or resort, this resort will then allow you a week to stay in it every year. By having a more deeper understanding about the benefits that you get from the concept of timeshares, it is time that you also learn about the concept of timeshare resales.
If you are well aware of the whole idea of having something that is pre-owned, then most likely, you will not be all too confused understanding the implications of having timeshare resales. To understand the concept of timeshare resales better, just think of it this way: you buy a timeshare from a pre-existing owner who is finding potential buyers of their share rather than directly buying it from the developer or the resort itself. There are a number of benefits to buying pre-owned timeshares. One benefit is skipping the part where you have to face extended sales pitch. Of course, the prices of pre-owned timeshares are lower than their initial prices that there are even some timeshare owners that sell their shares 65% cheaper.
Just hearing the term pre-owned immediately puts in the minds of people that what they are getting is just passed down or a place that has already been abandoned for good. It is in these ideas that the similarities between timeshare resales and buying pre-owned properties disappear. The thing about buying timeshare resales for the same fixed week unit, for instance, is that you will most likely be paying the same amount for your maintenance costs on a yearly basis that will then be used to keep the facilities and rooms of the resort well maintained. What this means then is that you will never feel as if you are paying for shares that are previously owned the moment you step into the palce.
Both buying and selling timeshares are something that can be challenging for those who have not tried any of these processes just yet. Usually, you have to be well aware of all the processes that entail in legal checks, paying transfer fees, and giving over your paperwork. You need not worry about dealing with all of these things on your own when you get the services of a reliable timeshare resale company like Fab Timeshare. Such companies are highly capable of providing their services to the whole resale process from dealing with conveyancing, legal checks, and transference of documentation to advertising and striking a deal.

The Shaw neighborhood will take on another development project beginning early next year, this time along the 9th Street NW area. CAS Riegler, Douglas Development and CityInterests are partnering up to build a 64,500 square foot mixed-use building at 1250 9th Street NW.
The project will contain a total of 70 residential units and approximately 8,200 square feet of ground floor retail one block away from the Mount Vernon/7th Street Convention Center Metro station. Additionally, the ground level retail will be able to accommodate two full-service restaurants.

According to an article published on DC Mud, the development site includes a lot at the corner of 9th and N Streets (the current location for Old City Green) and a Blagden Alley building which used to be Fight Club DC. The corner lot is owned by Douglas Development, while CAS Riegler and CityInterests own the property around it.
The site is also partially occupied by a three-story building constructed in the 1920's. According to CAS's website, since the structure is considered to be a contributing historic building, it will be incorporated into the design of the new development.
Just one block north, is the site of the future CityMarket at 7th and O, which will include residential spaces and a flagship Giant grocery store.
Construction on 9th and N is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2013, with a projected project delivery in the second quarter of 2014.

One among by far the most widespread electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a swap. Although applying switches in your house is very simple, wiring a person may well not be that uncomplicated for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will discover various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly typical switch (along with the most basic).
There are a few colours of wires in a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - a single on top as well as other over the bottom screw of your swap. The white wire serves like a resource of uninterrupted electrical power which is normally linked into a light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the eco-friendly wire to the ground screw of one's change.
These techniques would typically be sufficient to help make a standard change function without having a issue. Nevertheless, if you usually are not self-assured which you can achieve the undertaking correctly and safely you greater let the professionals get it done alternatively. Soon after all, you will find a cause why this job is among the most frequent electrical wiring queries requested by many people.
For a few cause, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is also one among quite possibly the most common electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this task, you can utilize just one change for any single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire in the swap. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be linked for the black wire of the change too.
There are actually motives why these are typically quite possibly the most typically questioned electrical wiring concerns. 1, quite a few assume it can be uncomplicated to complete, and two, these are generally the frequent electrical responsibilities at home. But then you really mustn't set your safety at risk in the intention to save money. The stakes could even be a lot increased if you seek to save money and do an electrical wiring work devoid of ample knowledge or practical experience.

The Road That Wasn't There
Saturday, July 15, 2017 12:00 PM 12:00
Combining puppetry, shadow play and live music, The Road That Wasn't There is a curious tale for adventurous adults and intrepid children.
A young woman strays from the beaten track and finds herself in a paper world. It seems a land of possibilities but she soon discovers things that happen in the fictional world can have frighteningly real consequences.
Dark, humorous and thoroughly enchanting, multi award-winning company Trick of the Light has created this original New Zealand fairy tale reminiscent of the late (great) Margaret Mahy.
"See this work if you can. It really is very special… rich and magical, defiantly romantic, the performances are sublime and it's shared with such love that even the most world-weary cynic would have their heart melted in an instant." - Theatreview

Everton's proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has been given "more than a vote of confidence" after key results were revealed.
The second phase of Everton's consultation will be held in the summer and is set to include designs of how the new 52,000 capacity home could look.
"A new stadium will unlock a unique opportunity for our city region by delivering a £1bn boost to the economy, 15,000 jobs and an estimated 1.5m new visitors to the city as well as the regeneration of North Liverpool, including a community-led legacy at Goodison Park," Barrett-Baxendale added.
"We set out with the objective of understanding what the people of the city region thought of the principles of our plans," Colin Chong, Everton's Stadium Development Director, said.
And 24% of respondents spoke about the importance of Everton's proposed new stadium to the economic regeneration of the area, which forms a key part of the club's planning application.
Everton's plans for a Goodison Park Legacy were also part of the consultation and 95% of respondents agreed the storied ground should be redeveloped for the "benefit of the community".
Over 20,000 people took part in the club's first stage of public consultation with 94% of respondents agreeing that the waterfront site is an appropriate place for Everton to build a new ground.

A PLASTER MODEL OF THIS WONDERFUL MODERNIST BUILDING. MEASURING 11CM HIGH, 28CM WIDE, 9CM DEEP 2.5KG APPROXIMATELY.
The Isokon building in Lawn Road, Hampstead, London, is a concrete block of 34 flats designed by architect Wells Coates for the influential furniture designer Jack Pritchard and his wife Molly. They were built between 1933-1934 as an experiment in communal living and named after Pritchard's furniture company 'Isokon'. Wells embraced Le Corbusier's architectural mantra that buildings should be 'machines for living' (machine à habiter). This ideal was best reflected in the Isokon building.
The Isokon company folded during World War II and in 1972 the building was sold to Camden London Borough Council. It gradually deteriorated and was abandoned in the 1990s and lay derelict for several years. In 2003 the building was sympathetically restored by Avanti Architects, who specialise in the refurbishment of modernist buildings, for the Notting Hill Housing Trust. It is now primarily occupied by key workers under a co-ownership scheme and has been granted Grade I listed status.

"I am afraid that life simply isn't fair. A disagreeable fact, but what can one do?"
Livia Stuart had finally reached her boiling point. After years of being forced to endure visits with The Honorable Miss Orr--and her mother--the Right Honorable Viscountess Glanville she'd had enough of biting her tongue and sitting there like she have a clue as to what they were truly doing. Their visits came under the guise of being charitable, but masked double edged comments which made it quite clear their true reason for coming was to gloat. Just twelve years earlier she would have been considered one of their peers, but the death of her father shortly followed by the death of her mother and grandfather had left her penniless under the care, if one could call it that, of her aunt and uncle. So while she was walking in the woods, trying to collect herself after one such visit, could anyone blame her for what she'd done when a lost gentleman mistook her for a servant girl and she'd lost her temper? She'd sent the man on a wild goose chase that would insure he'd not get to his destination for a very long time.
It was then that she decided to go to the ball the Orrs had generously invited her to because she was quite certain the man she'd just misdirected was Miss Orr's intended. She'd show him and the lot of them that she may be down but she wasn't out. Then she furiously set to work on her gown.
Gabriel Penhallow and Livia Stuart are about as different as night and day. He's wealthy, she's poor. He's decided it's time he married while she's in no hurry to shackle herself to some man. He's powerful and one of the most eligible bachelors while she's lowly wallflower. But there's something about the outspoken and unconventional chit that draws Gabriel to Livia. Perhaps it's her lack of interest in him that catches his attention. Perhaps it's the defiant spirit he sees sparkling in the depth of her dark green eyes which declares she won't be cowed when dealing with the ton. Perhaps it's her mischievous machinations which make him realize life with her would never be boring. Whatever it is he intends to find out.
Livia Stuart is tired of being pitied for he plight in life. She's tired of the ton and their arrogant ways. She's tired of people using her to boost their own self pride and self esteem. In a way, she's furious with the universe, and the card it's dealt her, but most of all she's upset with herself for being affected by it all. One things for sure when Gabriel Penhallow enters her life things will never be the same.
I couldn't help but give this one 5 out of 5 roses. It was a fun, seductive, romp of a read wrapped around a wonderful love story. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing these two get to know one another and fall in love. The book was well paced with lively characters who were vibrant and appeared to be three dimensional as they practically leapt off the pages. A wonderful debut for this author and I look forward to reading more of her books. On the Lisarenee Romance Rating Scale, this one earned a STEAM rating--too hot for a fan, but you still have a handle on things. You should use extreme caution when reading a book with this rating in public. People may inquire as to why you looked flustered and flushed.

Кодженг Лейма — богиня в міфології та релігії Мейтей, дружина бога Кубру. Стала відомою як племінна дама. Вона є однією з дев'яти Лайбентус — богинь, які брали участь у фестивалі Бога Епутгоу Тханцзін.

Етимологія
Жіноче ім'я «Коученг Лейма», або «Кодженг Лейма», або «Коудженг Лейма» і «Лейма». Морфологічно «Коученг» складається з «Коу» і «Ченга». Мовою мейтей (мова маніпурі) «Коу» означає «короткий» або «недостатній». Цей термін зазвичай використовується для позначення одягу, штор, драпіровок, суконь або гобеленів. «Чен» або його похідне «Джен» означає «звужуватися» або «стискатися» мовою мейтей (мова маніпурі). Термін мовою мейтей «Лейма» означає королева . Саме слово «Лейма» складається з двох слів: «Лей» та «Ма». «Лей» означає суходіл, а «Ма» означає мати .

Міфологія
Легенди говорять, що богиня Кодженг Лейма (Коученг Лейма) — племінна дама. Тому вона має окремий дім. Їй заборонено брати участь у зібранні богів і богинь у Лай Хараоба Бога Кубру. Увечері в день церемонії Лай Ламтокпа на фестивалі Лай Хараоба Бог Коубру, його дружина, син і невістка відвідали святиню богині Кодженг Лейма.

Поклоніння
Один день Лай Хараоба Бога Кубру особливо переміщено в обитель (пантеон) богині Кодженг Лейма. Це робиться на її честь. У святині богині Кодженг Лейма всі події, що відбувалися в інші дні, будуть відтворені.

Під час політичних потрясінь у вересні 2009 року багато паломників молилися богині Кодженг Леймі в її священній святині «Кудженг Лейма Лайрембі Лайфамлен» у Секмаї. Вони закликали її для успіху рухів, очолюваних Апунба Луп, і для відновлення миру в Маніпурі .

Intern Spotlight: Lauren Viljamaa
Lauren Viljamaa comes to us from the University of Georgia and she has many places she considers her hometown. She has lived in Glenview, IL, Appleton, WI, and Hoschton, GA. She has also attended Lawrence University for Music Education and Lesley University for Masters in Integrating the Arts into Curriculum. Lauren also has a minor in voice, which is one of her two major instruments with the other being piano.
Outside of music therapy, Lauren loves to advocate for the arts. She explains this passion best in her own words. "Whether it's working behind the scenes building sets, helping with lighting design, tap dancing in the chorus, going to my brother and sister's art gallery openings, directing the pit or chorus ensemble, choreographing big dance numbers, or giving notes to the cast it's simply a magical bonding experience like no other. The Arts bring us together: we work together, we play together, we struggle together and we begin to truly learn about each other and know each other, through the arts."
Outside of advocating, she enjoys going to the gym and is a fitness instructor for various group classes. Lauren has also been active in musical theatre and was able to play Velma Kelly in a musical "Chicago" - one of her all time favorites. This role is especially interesting to her because Lauren grew up near the Cook County Jail (the setting for the infamous "Cell Block Tango" and other jail scenes in the musical).
Welcome to the team, Lauren!
