Manchester City Council moves to lift carers' pay
Announcement comes as part of plans to bring social care and NHS services closer together
Carers in Manchester are set to get a £1 an hour pay rise, the city council has announced.
The move means that home care assistants – who are often some of the lowest-paid people in the city – will see their wage rise to £8.75 an hour, which is the Manchester living wage.
This is one of the key aims in UNISON's Ethical Care Charter, which Manchester committed itself to last October. The charter also aims to ensure adequate staffing levels and enough time for workers to look after vulnerable people.
It is being driven by a £1.5m cash boost from the council to commissioned organisations that supply care staff – on the condition that the money means employees will receive a proper living wage.
Currently, Manchester pays those home care businesses an average of £13.50 per hour for helping in people's homes. Now, it will go up to £15.20 per hour, with the clear expectation that the rise will benefit care staff from 1 April this year.
Long-term, the move is part of future plans between the council and its NHS partners for how services are commissioned, recognising the invaluable role that the city's home care staff provide, and working to keep and attract more people to the role.
"This money is a way of recognising the hard work of those workers who give the sort of daily care that's not only practical, but is a lifeline in providing the dignity that we all need," said Councillor Bev Craig, who is executive member for adult services, health and wellbeing at Manchester City Council.
"We all know that some things like dignity and wellbeing can't have a price put on them. But, in reality, when you consider how this sector keeps people living longer and better at home, you can see not only the moral, but economic reasons too.
"Quite simply, this is the right thing to do and by investing in our people and services we will also help with tackling shameful in-work poverty in Manchester."
UNISON national officer Matt Egan commented: "This is fantastic news for low-paid care workers and shows the benefits of a council that is prepared to positively engage with UNISON's campaigning work.
"We are slowly but surely challenging the idea that unfortunately took root in the UK that care work is a job that only pays poverty wages.
"The North West region of UNISON continues to do superlative work in ensuring that care work is afforded the respect and value that it deserves."
Regional organiser Tim Ellis said: "UNISON and Care Workers for Change are very pleased that, following our campaign, we have been able to secure this landmark agreement for home care with Manchester City council.
"The agreement that home care staff working in services commissioned by the council will be paid £8.75 per hour – the real living wage – and that visits will be a minimum of 30 minutes is great news for the staff and the residents of Manchester.
"This agreement will allow the first steps in the rebuilding of home care, which is an essential service – not only to support Manchester residents in their home environment but also to reduce pressure and cost on the NHS.
"UNISON will continue to campaign for the further development of this service, with increased better pay for staff and comprehensive quality home care available to Manchester people.
"We are looking to extend this type of agreement across all Greater Manchester local authorities."

Home Lifestyle Food & Hospitality App is designed to help restaurants streamline service — including split checks...
App is designed to help restaurants streamline service — including split checks — and track customer data, too
Some entrepreneurs begin a startup's founding story with a tale of personal adversity, but the misfortune that inspired Samir Peshori's startup wasn't his own. In fact, he was quite comfortably enjoying a plate of food in a Mexican restaurant when the concept came to him.
It was there he witnessed the exact content of a restaurant wait staffer's nightmares, which by comparison would make a cold-sweat, dark-night flight from an ax murderer a restful dream:
It was a split check. Eleven ways.
"Just watching that whole process, the technicality of it, while we had to wait for service at our table, there seemed to be such a need to implement today's technology to help out," he said.
The recent New Jersey Institute of Technology computer science graduate went on to co-found a digital platform for streamlining ordering, paying and interacting with restaurants. In the venture, called GlydeApp, he was joined by a friend whose family owned food businesses.
They assembled a team and developed a solution at VentureLink@NJIT, the state's largest startup hub and coworking space. They also took advantage of the complimentary mentoring programs available for NJIT students.
Now that they're rolling out the enterprise, they've gotten some traction in the form of an investment from Village Global, an early-stage venture firm founded by prolific entrepreneurs such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
What GlydeApp is doing — offering diners a way of scanning a QR code on their phones and accessing a digital menu that later in the meal acts as a digital check — sounds like a COVID-19 inspired solution.
But the concept — and the chips and salsa observations of Peshori, who is the company's chief operating officer — predated the spread of the virus.
"COVID-19 was never actually the driving point behind this," he said. "But the onset certainly accelerated the need for touchless ordering processes. Throughout the pandemic, what we noticed was a lot of tech being developed for restaurant pickup and delivery, but nothing for dining in."
There are restaurants that have made a transition to QR-code menus, Peshori said. And not all of them are using GlydeApp for that.
But Peshori believes in the local startup's potential to beat others to the punch with a comprehensive digital dining solution.
"At the end of the day, we've been deploying this, and we're already working on rolling out features that are more helpful for restaurants," he said. "A lot of these other systems that have come out do some things, but not all things. We're just trying to encompass it all."
The platform, which is currently making its money by charging restaurant customers a 5% service fee, allows dining establishments to develop a customized menu that aesthetically matches the theme of the restaurant.
Restaurant owners also get a diner's email address out of the deal as an additional customer touchpoint, as well as data from their food and beverage orders.
"So, they can also use it to better understand what's selling — what's moving and what's not," Peshori said. "And, overall, that just helps with their margins."
GlydeApp is being rolled out to New Jersey establishments after fixing some complaints of early clients, such as the fact that the platform was once only accessible on Android devices. Another issue that the local startup is addressing for restaurants is the lack of integration with the point of sale systems they already have in place.
"For a lot of restaurants, another device or tablet was the last thing they wanted to deal with," he said. "They already have so much to deal with on a day to day (basis), and with third-party companies like GrubHub bringing in tech for them to use, they just didn't want more of it."
The goal now is to make a successful pitch to more New Jersey restaurants and eventually get establishments across the tri-state region to embrace the platform.
The replacement of the waiter or waitress fussing with split checks and everything else isn't part of that goal. Peshori said GlydeApp is complementary to what busy wait staff do, not something to entirely replace their work (besides maybe the fussing with split checks).
"We have much more of a server-centric restaurant culture in the U.S., as opposed to the Asian market, where they've already made a full transition to scanning QR codes to order and pay," he said. "In the future here, we feel like there's still going to be a strong role for servers and, especially, as more of the hosts of a restaurant."

Leadership critical in promoting good health and safety at work
The British Safety Council will be pressing home the message that leadership plays a critical role in improving occupational health and safety during the two-day OSH India Exhibition and Conference 2014, which kicks off tomorrow (27 November).
Held in Mumbai, India, it is the third time this event is taking place, after the great success of the 2013 event. This year, as before, the British Safety Council will be taking an active role.
In the lead up to the conference Alex Botha, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council explained: "Over 2.3 million people in workplaces across the world are senselessly killed due to injury or ill health each year and an estimated 4% of global GDP is lost due to health and safety failure. We know that key to keeping workers healthy and safe is to convince business leaders from across the world why good health and safety is vital and makes business sense and that fundamental to this is leadership in driving that change.
"In India, there have been improvements in occupational safety and health, for example with Indian mines seeing fewer fatalities compared to the recent past and reductions in incidence rates for manufacturing and dock workers. Though much more needs to be done for the unorganised sectors such as agriculture and construction, the approach to place greater ownership on industry to manage the risks they create is the right one and we hope this continues and widens.
"As a not-for-profit membership organisation that has worked in India for many decades, we feel fortunate that we can play our part and increasingly call many of India's largest and most respected companies our partners in striving to bring about this change. We provide a respected platform to support continued learning and good practice as well as celebrate success."
Mr Kevin Myers, up to recently, the Acting Chief Executive of the British Health and Safety Executive, and currently Secretary General of the International Association of Labour Inspectorate and a Trustee of the British Safety Council, will be delivering one of the keynote speeches on Day One.
Alex will be participating in Day One as well - moderating a panel discussion on 'Leadership in health and safety', which will include Mr Myers.
The British Safety Council's culture change partner JOMC will be delivering two workshops on its behalf on Day One and Day Two of the Conference. These workshops have been designed to address 'Safety culture and organisational safety leadership engagement'. They will cover a series of topics including the importance of communication; how to achieve a change in culture through engagement; why people behave the way they do; how to have effective safety discussions and the benefits of engagement.

Q: Selenium: NoSuchElementException Thrown on the Line Where I Wait This is an odd variety of a common problem.
I am running a Selenium project using a headless firefox browser.
I get the common NoSuchElementExceptions. That's nothing new. However, attempting to resolve them through explicit waits does not resolve the issue.
For example, the following line throws the NoSuchElementException:
WebElement trackingInbox = methodDriver.findElement(By.id("inbox-widget-container-id"));

I then add the following above this line:
FluentWait wait = new FluentWait(methodDriver);
wait.withTimeout(90, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
wait.pollingEvery(250, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("inbox-widget-container-id")));

WebElement trackingInbox = methodDriver.findElement(By.id("inbox-widget-container-id"));

In the first instance, I get the exception at the "methodDriver.findElement . . . ."
In the second instance I get it at the "wait.until . . . "
This happens when I wait for "presenceOf . . ." and when I wait for "visibilityOf . . ." The way it appears, the element has to be available before I wait for it, which appears to defeat the purpose.
The way it currently appears, I have no option but to add implicit waits, but I know there must be some way to do the explicit waits such that the element does not have to be available before I wait for it.
I wonder if there are any ideas as to what I am doing wrong and if there are any principles I can go by to determine whether a particular wait would be useful or not.

A: You have actually forgot to call ignoring function at the end, This ignoring is what you want. When you are waiting for visibility of the element, it might occur that element doesn't exist but If you use Ignoring function, it would ignore if such error happens until it meet with the given condition.
   Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
       .withTimeout(30, SECONDS)
       .pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)
       .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

«Вставайте, люди русские!» — хор из советского кинофильма «Александр Невский» (1938) режиссёра Сергея Эйзенштейна. Композитор — Сергей Прокофьев, автор слов — Владимир Луговской.

В начале 1938 года крупный советский кинорежиссёр Сергей Эйзенштейн задумал большой звуковой фильм об Александре Невском. В качестве автора музыки он решил привлечь Прокофьева, с которым был хорошо знаком ещё с 1920-х годов. Это творческое содружество было основано на доверии художников друг к другу. Прокофьев убедился, что прославленный режиссёр «оказался очень тонким музыкантом», Эйзенштейна же поражала способность Прокофьева мгновенно заражаться зрительным впечатлением и передавать в музыке сущность художественного образа, запечатленного на плёнке. «Назавтра он пришлёт мне музыку, которая… звуковым контрапунктом будет пронизывать мою монтажную структуру, закон строения которой он уносит в той ритмической фигуре, которую отстукивали его пальцы», — говорил режиссёр, вспоминая, как Прокофьев во время отсмотра снятых эпизодов отстукивал пальцами какие-то сложные ритмические построения на ручке кресла. Текст к вокальным фрагментам писал частью сам Прокофьев, частью поэт Владимир Луговской
.

«Александр Невский» вышел на экраны 1 декабря 1938 года и сразу завоевал успех. Этот успех натолкнул композитора на мысль написать на материалах музыки к фильму кантату. Зиму 1938—1939 года он посвятил этой работе. Задача оказалась очень непростой. «Иногда легче написать совершенно новую пьесу, чем придумывать спайки», — жаловался он близким. Нужно было полностью переоркестровать всю музыку, так как прежняя оркестровка была рассчитана на использование электронных средств, применяемых при записи киномузыки, различных эффектов, связанных с приближением и удалением того или иного инструмента от микрофона и т. д. Кроме того, из разрозненных фрагментов, звучащих на протяжении фильма, нужно было скомпоновать стройные разделы вокально-симфонического цикла. Кантата ор. 78 состоит из семи частей, — «Русь под игом монгольским», «Песня об Александре Невском», «Крестоносцы во Пскове», «Вставайте, люди русские», «Ледовое побоище», «Мёртвое поле» и «Въезд Александра во Псков». 17 мая 1939 года прошла её премьера в Большом зале Московской консерватории.

Победно-патриотический финал отличается яркой, праздничной оркестровкой, перезвоном колоколов, звучанием русских тем, появлявшихся ранее. Величественное звучание хора «На Руси родной, на Руси большой не бывать врагу» завершает кантату. В патриотическую тему «Вставайте, люди русские!» композитор включил древнерусские мотивы и звуки народных музыкальных инструментов.

Displaying line numbers on a page has been an often requested feature and this sample shows how to calculate the required positions.
Displaying line numbers on a page has been an often requested feature. These numbers are not part of the document content. A typical application for this feature is medical transcription where line numbering is required. This can be implemented using TX Text Control with little effort.
In case of Windows Forms, the line numbers are drawn on top of TXTextControl.TextControl using a graphics drawing object. The challenge here is to calculate the position of the line object in client coordinates. In TX Text Control X15, a new method has been introduced to simplify this calculation. The TXTextControl.TextControl.DocumentToClient method converts the coordinates in twips in relation to the top-left corner of the document to client coordinates.
In WPF, the approach is slightly different and another method has to be used. The TXTextControl.WPF.TextControl.PointToDocument method has also been introduced in version X15, which converts a document point in the current TextControl coordinate system to client coordinates. This method is used to calculate the correct position of text blocks containing line numbers. The text blocks are then added to a canvas control that is displayed on top of TXTextControl.WPF.TextControl .
The DocumentToClient() and PointFromDocument() methods are helpful methods and have various applications when client coordinates have to be calculated.

Q: Store notes with Async Storage in React Native I'm developing a Notes App and I want to save the notes in the device's memory. I'm using Async Storage, but without success. I create notes and they are displayed correctly until I reload the app, and they're gone.
Here is the logic to save and retrieve the notes with Async Storage:
async function saveNotes() {
    try {
      const jsonValue = JSON.stringify(notes)
      await AsyncStorage.setItem('@notesApp' ,jsonValue)
    }
    catch(e){
      alert(e)
    }
  }

  async function getNotes() {
    try {
      const value = await AsyncStorage.getItem('@notesApp')
      if(value !== null){
        const notesJson = JSON.parse(value)
        notesJson.map((item: INotes) => {
          dispatch(getId(Number(item.id)))
          dispatch(titlePicker(item.title))
          dispatch(notePicker(item.note))
          dispatch(addNote())
        })
      }
    }
    catch(e) {
      alert(e)
    }
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    saveNotes()
  }, [notes])

  useEffect(() => {
    getNotes()
  }, [])

And here's the code of my reducers:
import { createSlice, PayloadAction } from "@reduxjs/toolkit"

export interface INotes {
  id: number,
  title: string,
  note: string,
}

const initialState = {
  noteId: 0,
  noteTitle: '',
  noteContent: '',
  notes: [] as INotes[],
}

export const notePickerSlice = createSlice({
  name: 'notePicker',
  initialState,
  reducers: {
    idPicker: (state) => {
      state.noteId++
    },
    getId: (state, action: PayloadAction<number>) => {
      state.noteId = action.payload
    },
    titlePicker: (state, action: PayloadAction<string>) => {
      state.noteTitle = action.payload
    },
    notePicker: (state, action: PayloadAction<string>) => {
      state.noteContent = action.payload
    },
    addNote: (state) => {
      state.notes = [
        ...state.notes,
        {
          id: state.noteId,
          title: state.noteTitle,
          note: state.noteContent,
        }
      ]
    },
    updateNote: (state, action: PayloadAction<number>) => {
      state.notes[action.payload - 1].title = state.noteTitle
      state.notes[action.payload - 1].note = state.noteContent
    },
  }
})

export const { getId, updateNote, addNote, idPicker, titlePicker, notePicker } = notePickerSlice.actions
export default notePickerSlice.reducer

Plastic Surgeons Are Doing 'Facebook Facelifts'
Fox Van Allen for Tecca 2012-07-12 20:11:57 UTC
Follow @tecca
Doctors say Facebook and video-chatting tools like Skype and FaceTime have partly fueled this decade's boom in plastic surgery.
"People will come in and say, 'I saw myself in the mirror, but I didn't really notice it until I saw myself on Facebook or on my iPhone or iPad,'" says Dr. Adam Schaffner, a New York plastic surgeon. "When you look in the mirror you're seeing the mirror image of yourself. But when you see yourself on social media, you're seeing yourself the way the world sees you."
This new, social-media-derived vanity is driving plastic surgeons to cater to the growing market. Schaffner performs a surgery called the "Lifestyle Lift," a minimally invasive procedure to tighten up the face.
One doctor in Virginia is even offering what is being called a "FaceTime Facelift," a procedure designed to make people appear more attractive during FaceTime conversations.
And the prevalence of tools like Photoshop aren't helping. By making everyone else look more attractive, image editing tools make you feel less so when you view yourself in your natural state.

Bashir Hayford Concedes Hearts of Oak Were Too Good For Ebusua Dwarfs
Bashir Hayford was forced to concede Ebusua Dwarfs lost to the better team after Hearts of Oak's fine 2-0 victory at the Cape Coast stadium on Thursday.
The Crabs have made the best start to life in this season's league, but they were given a reality check by Hearts, who produced a fine performance to secure their first win and condemn Hayford's side to their debut defeat.
Substitute Patrick Razak and striker Joseph Esso scored two goals for the Phobians.
"They played better than us. Everything went well. You don't lose before you say everything went bad. The field, though it is our home, we don't normally train here and we are trying to do our best," Coach Bashiru Hayford told the media in a post-match press conference.
"We realised the field wasn't what we thought it to be when we did a shakeup… We had to either stick with the ball or play it with a punch. Hearts were just better than us."
The victory move Hearts of Oak to 7th on the log with 4 points while Dwarfs drop down to 9th with the same number of points as their opponents.

Cardstock- you'll need this to print your pricing tags onto. You can order them from Amazon but you can get some from AC Moore or Michael's too and use a coupon towards it. Don't use regular paper, it's too thin and rips easily.
Safety pins or a tagging gun. You will need to use either safety pins or a tagging gun to put the tags on your clothing items. You'll most likely need safety pins, regardless if you use them to put the tags on, for securing clothing to the hangers (especially small ones or pants). Tagging guns can be ordered from Amazon.
Scissors to cut the price tags apart. Or, you can go to Fed Ex/Kinkos and have them do the cutting. It is relatively cheap ($3 per cut I believe) and saves your hands from the scissors.
Lots of hangers. All clothing must be on hangers. If you need some, send an email to kmomCEsale@gmail.com. Cashiers remove the hangers at checkout and can provide them to our sellers. People have also got them from dry cleaners or Sears.
Bags (Ziploc kind) for smaller items, such as books, bibs, toys, etc.
Packing or paint edging tape to put tags on non-clothing items. Since you don't want to damage items with the tape, you can put plastic wrap around the item first and then put the tag on.
Zip ties for attaching shoes together.
Duct tape for helping to keep clothes on hangers. This is a great trick if you need to hang pants, for example, on a regular hanger. Cut off 2 strips of tape (maybe 2 inches each) and put one on each side of the hanger (the diagonal sides) where you want the safety pins to stay. Fold each piece over so there isn't any of the sticky side showing. Pin the pants through the tape and onto the hanger. That way the pins don't slide.
A means of accessing the Internet (laptop, tablet, desktop, etc.) and a printer. Many people use a printing service, like Fed Ex/Kinkos, to print their tags. They do that if they don't have a printer or don't want to use their ink/paper.


For your events of all kinds, Ginger offers two private lounges that can accommodate between 35 and 50 guests *, depending on how the tables are arranged: in conference style, square or U shape. Variety of dishes, à la carte or self-service, can be ordered.
The private lounges are ideal for entertaining family, friends, colleagues and diners at meetings such as lunch-conferences, meetings, fundraising activities, Christmas celebrations and rehearsal dinners, to name a few.
To add to the ambiance of your event, private lounges can be customized with various decorative elements, including table centers and tablecloths available for rental. Televisions for the projection of contents are also available, if necessary, and included with the rental of the room.


I tried to have a discussion with a few friends of mine about the Wikileaks scandal and Assange's arrest. My argument was against censorship and the slow errosion of our freedoms for the past 9 years. A Republican friend's argument was that she would rather have to jump through hoops at every turn if it prevented a terrorist attack. I countered with the Benjamin Franklin quote, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety," and said that I would almost rather there be another terrorist attack then slowly lose my rights one by one. That's where she invoked the third rail of debate: 9/11.
The conversation immediately descended into the depths of hell, with several other Republicans coming to her aid. A few of my more liberal friends came to mine, and it turned out that NO ONE was really discussion the issue at hand: Is what Assange did really illegal? If documents written by the government of and by the people are taken by one of those people, is it really stealing? How do documents become "CLASSIFIED"? Who decides on the Constitutionality of that classification?
The important thing is this: If every time we attempt to have an adult conversation someone decides to end the discussion by screaming, "REMEMBER 9/11," nothing will ever be discussed, let alone agreed upon. The constant steering of political discussions to the irrelevant (especially since the wars fought and most of the security decisions made since have NOTHING to do with the terrorist attacks) makes us all sound like children and does not further discourse in any way. A nation divided we definitely are, and I fear, a nation divided we shall remain.
An top intelligence official for the US government is saying that it's time that Americans start redefining their view of privacy. Basically this means that we're being asked to give up more of our freedom and more of out privacy so that the government can go on a witch hunt. Who knows what they'll be hunting. Now it's the "terrorists", except that evidence is mounting to suggest that the 9/11 attacks had little to do with terrorism. Next it'll be people suspected of doing anything illegal – selling pot, downloading music, etc… We have to speak up now, before it's too late.
The more I read about 9/11, the more I hear that President Bush lied and the 9/11 Commission was given false and misleading information concerning the attacks and the clean-up effort. We're seeing some of the lies cost more lives as the 9/11 First Responders continue to die from a variety of lung diseases and more soldiers are killed in Iraq (the country that did not attack us) every day. It amazes me how man people just accept that what they were told was the truth and few people (aside from us bloggers) seem to be asking any real questions. What really happened and who was truly responsible should be a leading issue in this Presidential Campaign, but it's only mentioned to give candidates a boost in the polls.
The war in Iraq is not going well, and it couldn't possibly be due to anything the US is or is not doing. No. The problem in Iraq is… IRAN. That's right, folks. The US Generals left in Iraq are now telling us that one of the reasons they can't "get the job done" in Iraq is because weapons and money are pouring in from Iran. Though the President of Iraq is currently denying ANY involvement, I can't imagine this will have much impact if President Bush decides that he wants to start another war. Let's remember that we went into Iraq even though they had NOTHING to do with the attacks on 9/11. We have to impeach Bush and Cheney now, before they have the opportunity to do any more damage. Even if we can't get them out of office, the procedings should keep them busy enough to prevent them destroying us completely.
I first saw this at The Department of Homeland Security.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead. Incredibly, just as was the case when Rome's Senate voted to make Caesar the Emperor, the United States' Senate voted to surrender the rights and liberties of every American citizen. By a margin of 60-28, the Democratic-led Senate gave George W. Bush the unconstitutional authority to spy, without warrant, on whomever he chooses. That includes U.S. citizens, but everyone is pretending that isn't the case.
Feel free to label this analysis and the author 'extremist', or 'alarmist', or even a 'left-wing Looney-Tunes conspiracy theorist nutcase'. What you think of this analysis or of the author just doesn't matter. It won't change the fact that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead. And, here is the thing most Americans don't understand: without a Constitution, there is no United States of America … America you see, is the Constitution and the Constitution is America. Without the one, the other doesn't exist.
Kick and scream all you want. It's too late – the game is over, the "good guys" lost. Oh, it'll take awhile before you and most Americans realize it, but the Constitution and Bill of Rights aren't endangered, or threatened, or under attack … both are all already dead.
If you shoot a deer in the heart, before it keels over, it will run approximately one hundred yards. It takes a little while for the body and brain to realize that the heart is dead. It'll be like that in America, too. It'll take awhile before people realize that the Constitution and Bill of Rights have died.
The Senate's cowardly and treasonous act of giving the Executive Branch the legal authority to spy without warrant wasn't the start of the assault; it was merely the death blow. The real push to eviscerate the Constitution and Bill of Rights began in earnest after 9/11. The FBI can enter your house without a warrant and without your permission, do you know that? The government can read your postal mail without your permission, do you realize that? The National Security Agency can read your e-mail and listen to your private phone conversations, are you aware of that?
Maybe someday you'll decide that you've had enough. Maybe you'll decide to do something about it. Maybe you'll decide to stand for election on a promise to restore the Constitution. Maybe you'll have forgotten that when you were 20 years old and your girlfriend was gone for the summer, that you two shared intimate moments on the phone. Maybe you'll forget, but they won't and 30 years later, as you embark upon your crusade to finally try and do something about the fascist state of affairs, they'll have not forgotten and they'll play your intimate conversation for the world to hear.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead. You just don't know it yet, because the signal from the bullet riddled heart hasn't reached the body and the brain – but it will, soon.

July 11, 2014 – August 30, 2014
Be Here Now: Mike Black, Andrew Boatright, Sandra Erbacher
July 11-August 30, 2014
Opening Reception: Fri July 11, 7pm
Be Here Now brings together three artists whose studio-based activities and site-specific installations investigate issues of presence, form, and function. Mike Black and Andrew Boatright are both Atlanta-based sculptors who deftly use a range of materials to challenge gallery environments through issues of gravity and beauty; Sandra Erbacher lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where she creates humble objects and uses 'inferior' materials that exude a sly poetry and situational wariness.
Each artist presents a range of recent works that take advantage of the physicality and scale of ACAC's galleries and adjacent spaces. Mike Black's installation conceptually extends sections of metal ductwork that are part of ACAC's facilities, thereby creating a complex arrangement of functioning and non-functioning ventilation elements. Painted gray to match the existing systems, this challenges understandings of what is permanent, temporary, absurd, and confusing.
Andrew Boatright makes provisional sculptures that sit on the floor, lean against walls, and rest on shelves. Built with scraps of wood, metal, paper and plastic, they are covered in unique industrial "goo"—a homemade mix of paint and sealant—thereby obscuring their recognition, creating chimeric, and often comic, formal agglomerations. Boatright's forms are installed in various arrangements that heighten their sense of vulnerability, awkwardness, and isolation, conjuring human, animal, and natural hybrids.
Sandra Erbacher is part of a lineage of makers and thinkers who use their art to examine expectations and contradictions that operate at museums and galleries. In this exhibition, she presents a large photograph of a cactus, a reminder of adaptability and the ability to survive in harsh environments. Other works feature incised carpeting, a delicate gold and diamond-laden screw, and a carefully placed vent with neon signage, continuing her investigations of orientation and invasion.
In Be Here Now, viewers will be made to pay attention to many of the objects that institutions often hope they will not notice, such as air and heating ductwork, water pipes and exit signs. The exhibition title is like an edict from the artists and our Center: be present and sensitive to the conditions that surround you.
Mike Black is an Atlanta-based, sculptor, painter, and installation artist. He received his BFA with a concentration in sculpture from Georgia State University. Black works with the Mayor's office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Dept. helping oversee the city's public artworks, and is an art handler with the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, and Facilities Supervisor with DASHBOARD CO-OP. He is also a DASHBOARD CO-OP artist, an Idea Capital grant recipient, has shown all over Atlanta and is represented by Kibbee Gallery.
Andrew Boatright is an artist who currently lives and works in Atlanta. He received his MFA in drawing and painting from Georgia State University in 2013. Boatright has exhibited at Art Aqua Miami 2012, MOCA GA, and Twin Kittens Gallery, where his recent solo exhibition, TRANSMOGRIFICATION_, was recently reviewed in BURN_AWAY.
Sandra Erbacher is a German artist living and working in Madison, WI and London. She earned her BFA from Camberwell College of Art, London in 2009 and her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2014. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, at the Chazen Museum of Art, Madison, Mana Contemporary Chicago, Circuit 12 Contemporary, Dallas, The Contemporary, London, Kunstverein Speyer, Germany, Umbrella Gallery, Leeds, and Five Years, London. She is the recipient of the 2014 Chazen Prize to an Outstanding MFA Student, a University of Wisconsin fellowship and the Blink Grant for Public Art 2013 awarded by the city of Madison.
All artists are available for interview and press packets with high res images are available. Contact: Rachel Reese, [email protected] for information and images.

RuPaul's Drag Race Sends A Message To Mary Cheney – Video
January 31, 2015 Entertainment, Featureddrag, Mary Cheney, RuPaul's Drag RaceWill Kohler
Nice Cliff's Notes version of the history of drag and cross-dressing even though it dates far back to past Shakespearean times.
One small note thou just to to keep our overall LGBT history straight for lack of a better word.
While Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were involved in the 3 days of rioting because of the Stonewall Riots in 1969 in New York City. But neither Marsha or Sylvia were present at the actual police action at the bar itself.
Back rolls!
Satan's Spawn Mary Cheney: "Drag Is Like Blackface"
January 31, 2015 Entertainment, FeaturedBitch, drag, homocons, Mary Cheney, RuPaulWill Kohler
"Why is it socially acceptable – as a form of entertainment – for men to put on dresses, make up and high heels and act out every offensive stereotype of women (bitchy, catty, dumb, slutty, etc.) – but it is not socially acceptable – as a form of entertainment – for a white person to put on blackface and act out offensive stereotypes of African Americans? Shouldn't both be OK or neither?" – Mary Cheney, on her Facebook page after seeing an ad for fRuPaul's Drag Race.
Oh she's just jealous! After all what self-respecting drag queen would want to dress up like Mary Cheney!
Satan's Spawn Mary and Liz Cheney Have It Out Over Same-Sex Marriage!
November 17, 2013 Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots2014 elections, GOP, Heather Poe, HOMOCON, Liz Cheney, marriage equality, Mary Cheney, Satan, Senate, Tea Party, Teatard, WyomingWill Kohler
What happens when two sisters, one a stock raving mad Tea Party lunatic and the other a quisling homocon who's "got hers" have different views of same sex marriage?
Hilarity ensures! Because we all know infighting is funny, and ESPECIALLY funny when Satan's spawn are doing it!
"I don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If people are in a same-sex relationship and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary on their life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that. I also doesn't support amending the constitution on this issue. I do believe it's an issue that got to be left up to the states. I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage. Listen, I love Mary very much. I love her family very much. This is just an issue on which we disagree." – Card carrying Teatard Liz Cheney, speaking today and kissing ass on Fox News Sunday as she stumps for a 2014 Wyoming US Senate seat.
Needless to say little sister Mary Cheney and her lesbian wife weren't amused.
"I was watching my sister-in-law on Fox News Sunday (yes Liz, in fifteen states and the District of Columbia you are my sister-in-law) and was very disappointed to hear her say 'I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage.' Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 – she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us. To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least. I can't help but wonder how Liz would feel if as she moved from state to state, she discovered that her family was protected in one but not the other. I always thought freedom meant freedom for EVERYONE." wrote Mary Cheney's wife Heather Poe on her Facebook page.
While Mary in an addendum to the above, which she re-posted to her own Facebook page wrote: "Couldn't have said it better myself. Liz – this isn't just an issue on which we disagree – you're just wrong – and on the wrong side of history."
Lets remember that Mary Cheney was perfectly content sitting in the back of the bus and ignoring it all while Daddy Lucifer Dick and BelezeBubba stumped for 8 years on issues to make us second class citizens.
Karma is a bitch, Mary.
Have an interesting Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Married Lesbian Mary Cheney Donates To Mitt Romney's Anti-Gay GOP Presidential Campaign
July 3, 2012 Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, Gay News From Around The Globe, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiotsdisgusting, GOP, idiot, Mary Cheney, same sex marriage, self loathing lesbian, stupid bitchWill Kohler
People can say whatever they want about Mike Petrelis over at the Petrelis Files but when it comes to researching the man is 100 percent bloodhound.
Researching through the Federal Election Commission files at OpenSecrets.org, the Political MoneyLine and the FEC.gov sites. Petrelis has uncovered that recently same sex married LINO (Lesbian In Name Only) Mary Cheney donated $2500 dollars to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign in January of 2012.
Between the hypocrisy of Lynn and Dick Cheney today fully supporting thier daugters gay marriage but while in office crafting one of the most heinous anti-gay wedge issue campaigns ever to be used in a re-election campaign. And Mary's idiocy and apparent self-loathing by donating money to fund a Presidential campaign that will not only harm same sex marriage nationwide and possibly also her own just because Romney is the Republican candidate. Just goes to prove that the horrible anti-gay legacy that this family has is justified no matter how much they try to cover it up and and will be recorded in future history books.
And rightfully so.
Mary Cheney. What a stupid bitch! (And in this case the word is justified)

Spawn Of Satan Mary Cheney Gets Married – The Devil Has A Daughter-In-Law
June 23, 2012 Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, Gay News From Around The GlobeDick Cheney, DOMA, gay traitor, Mary Cheney, same sex marriageWill Kohler
Mary Cheney, married her longtime companion Heather Poe were married in Washington D.C. yesterday.
The Daily Caller reports:
In a statement provided to TheDC, both the former vice president and his wife, Lynne, said they are "delighted" the couple could have their "relationship recognized." "Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC," the Cheneys said. Poe and Mary Cheney have two children: Cheney gave birth to a son in 2007, and a daughter in 2009. They live together in Virginia. "Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized," the Cheneys said. "Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness."
Of course Devil Dick Cheney is "delighted" now. He's no longer in office and doesn;t have to bow to the religious right.
But because of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Ken Mehlman's plan while they were in office to spread the anti- same sex marriage message and purposely used it as an election year issue which led to to many states adopting their own Defense of Marriage Acts (DOMA).
Ironically because of this, Mary's same sex marriage IS NOT recognized in the state of Virginia where the couple actually lives, and we all know that it isn't recognized by the Federal Government.
I have no love for the Cheney's, and especially NOT Mary a traitor to the LGBT community who stood by and supported her father and George Bush while they were in office and said not a word against their anti-gay agenda.
Mary Cheney should be ashamed to call herself a lesbian and even partake in same sex marriage. And as a community we should be ashamed if we ever accept her as one of us.
Lesbian Mary Cheney Continues To Be A Traitor To The LGBT Community By Donating To Anti-Gay New Hampshire Senate Candidate
August 18, 2010 UncategorizedBIITCH, gay, gay news, gay traitors, Mary Cheney, political donations, Satan's DaughterWill Kohler
Satan's Lottle Lesbian Mary Cheney has proven once again that she is no more than a traitor to the LGBT community by donating t$500.00 to Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire's Republican 2010 Senate candidate. Yes it might think it's only be $500.00, big deal. . But Cheney has publicly spoken about how she supports same-sex marriage, and yet she's donating to Ayotte who does not and this eems to be a recurring thing for her. Last year she donated $1,000 to Ohio Republican Rep. Rob Portman's U.S. Senate campaign.whose voting record is made up of trying to ban gay adoptions and same-sex marriage.
Quite simply Mary Cheney is a privleged bitch who lives in a consequence free world bought and paid for by her fathers political influence. Why should the bitch care about a politicians views on gays? She will never be harmed by any anti-gay laws passed and never suffer under the draconian laws of that country, Mary Cheney can do whatever she wants and her daddy's friends will always take care of her. I
I just truly hope that one day her Ivory tower comes crashing down around her and she gets all that she deserves.

A mini MPV, Toyota Avanza was designed and manufactured in Indonesia. The vehicle was also assembled in Malaysia under the monitoring of Toyota Motor Corporation, also markets the vehicle under Daihatsu brand, i.e. Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia build on the same platform. In 2003, the car made its first appearance at the Gaikindo Auto Expo and in its debut year sold 100,000 units. The term 'Avanza' is derived from an Italian 'Avanzato' means 'Advance'.
The idea behind designing the Avanza is to build a low premiere MPV so as to separate Toyota Kijang into two models, i.e. one being Toyota Kijang and other being Toyota Innova (a high-end vehicle designed to target higher market).

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY AND WHITE SUPREMACY IN ITS OWN WORDS
7 Comments January 27, 2018 The Editors
This screen shot was taken from Matt Parrott's GAB page on the evening of January 26. Assuming the accuracy of "20 hours," he posted his comments the night of January 25. In case his meaning is unclear for our readers, he refers to Dreamers—young, undocumented Latinos and Latinas whose parents brought them into the US as infants and toddlers, who know no other homeland but the United States and speak no other language but English—as DACA beaners,* and to their fear of deportation under the current White House as comedy gold.
(*For our readers unfamiliar with this Americanism, beaner is a derogatory term for a Mexican person almost as offensive as the N-word for an African person.)
Other gems of Christian charity from Mr. Parrott's GAB page include—unless he deletes them—an explanation of the superiority of the white race and potshots at Jews.
What relevance does this have for the Orthodox Church?
On January 22 Orthodoxy in Dialogue published an Open Letter asking the bishops of the American Orthodox Church to deal decisively with white supremacy within the Church, among our clergy, in our seminaries. In four days it skyrocketed to double the number of readers of our previously most popular article. Among those signing the Letter we have several priests and deacons.
(We continue to accept signatures. Follow the instructions at the top of the Open Letter. The Letter will be formally delivered to the Assembly of Bishops by the end of January.)
On January 24 Mr. Parrott posted a response to our Open Letter on the website of the SPLC Designated Hate Group—the Traditional Worker Party or TWP—for which he serves as "Chief Information Officer."
We learned about and published his article—with an explanatory preface of our own—on January 25 here. The links to TWP and to the Southern Poverty Law Center's report are included in our preface and afterword.
This man who sees "comedy gold" in the fears of innocent teenagers who risk being captured by ICE agents on their way to school explains TWP's connection to the Orthodox Church in his own words:
How about they celebrate the fact that Orthodox Christianity is rapidly growing among a rapidly growing youth subculture in America? How about marveling at the fact that a Church Militant has appeared where young men and women are organizing to oppose globalism and degeneracy in favor of local identity and traditionalism? For decades, Orthodoxy and every other denomination have racked their brains over how to become relevant and resurgent among young folks.
Far more than one [individual studying for the priesthood in one of our Orthodox seminaries in the US post(ing) white supremacist materials and messages under an alias on Facebook], suckers. AltChristianity's Church Militant is steadily and quietly working its way through the seminaries and sinecures just like the leftist radicals and homosexuals did in the 20th century. This phenomenon isn't unique to Orthodoxy, with bright young anti-globalist Christians struggling to win the Faith back from the global capitalists, closeted homosexuals, Freemasons, and Zionists, …and offer it back to Christ.
That stupid list [of priests, deacons, and laypeople signing our Open Letter] actually is a handy list of folks…. Start with excommunicating and defrocking them.
Absolutely every Orthodox Christian who gets thrown under the bus in this most recent multicult witch hunt is welcome to join us. We're working in tandem with hundreds of seminarians, secretly supportive clergy, and prominent clergy abroad….
The road to hell is paved with the skulls of erring priests and bishops, and I will stomp on each one of them on my way to hell and back to win this war for the universality of Christianity in the West.
See Stephen Schneck's "Where Are Our Bishops?" for a similar intiative to urge the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to act decisively on the problem of white supremacy in the American Catholic Church. See the USCCB's response here.
To sign our Open Letter to the Assembly of Bishops send your name and city/state/province/country of residence to editors@orthodoxyindialogue.com. Names will be added as quickly as possible as we receive them.

CASS CITY, MICHIGAN – Earlier this year, Michigan Department of Natural Resources staff at Sanilac Petroglyphs Historic State Park discovered that vandals had broken in and carved three images on the rock that holds carvings made hundreds of years ago.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan partners with the state in interpreting the petroglyphs, which are called ezhibiigaadek asin ("written on stone") in the Anishinabemowin language.
"The Sanilac Petroglyphs are one of the most important connections we have to our past within the region," said Tribal Chief Frank Cloutier of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan. "The stories that are handed down from generation to generation thread our past to the present. We need to preserve diba jimooyung ('telling our stories').
The DNR and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan ask that anyone with information concerning the individuals who defaced the Sanilac Petroglyphs call or text the DNR Report All Poaching (RAP) hotline at 800-292-7800. Information also may be shared via the DNR web-based RAP reporting form.
Individuals may qualify for a reward, provided by the Michigan History Center, if they submit information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the vandals.
The Michigan History Center is an agency within the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
I am worried that the vandals were youth, maybe local teenagers based on the actions, choice of drawings and quality of art that defaced our history. We all (tribal and non tribal) have done stupid punk things as youngsters so I do hope the state and SCIT use this as a teaching and learning opportunity not just a racial trigger point. Too much of that lately. Thoughts?
The Native American people have lost too much at the hands of "our" people. "Our" meaning American people. We moved into this country as if no one was here yet and took everything these people held sacred. They have so little left as it is. Kids or not, I think they ought to be held accountable for their actions. I understand the comment about the racial trigger, but there is also too much of parents making excuses for their kids instead of making them face the music for the stupid things they do.

TWO clergymen from Harrow Weald braved the wind and the rain to walk from their parish to St Paul's Cathedral for charity.
TWO clergymen from Harrow Weald braved the wind and the rain to walk from their parish to St Paul's Cathedral for charity.
Reverends Guy Hewlett, vicar of St Micheal and All Angels' Church in Bishop Ken Road, and James Mercer, vicar of All Saints' Church in Uxbridge Road, set off at 7am on Monday (Oct 8) for a 15-mile journey that took them, with tea breaks and rest stops at churches along the way, five hours and 50 minutes.
They raised £450 for The Smith-Magenis Syndrome Foundation UK (SMS), a charity supporting suffers of the development disorder caused by a chromosome deficiency.
Mr Hewlett said: "We have friends whose son has been diagnosed with SMS. We wanted to help to raise funds to enable further research to be carried out into its causes and effects."
The weary duo had lunch in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral having travelled through Belmont Circle, Queensbury, Cricklewood, Hampstead Heath and Camden.
Mr Mercer said: "We are grateful for the support we received from our churches. People were very generous."
Mr Hewlett added: "We were a little weary on our arrival but we'll do something like this again, perhaps a walk to St Albans next time – in the summer!"

Revolution Brewing CaramelCrisp
by Taylor October 29, 2022 October 25, 2022
"Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago…" – Fred Fisher, "Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)"
If eating well is a cure for depression, then Mr. Fisher's assertion undoubtedly rings true. Chicago is, indeed, a great food city. The most recent edition of the Michelin guide awarded 23 stars (appropriately evoking the jersey number of one of the city's most famous athletes) with longtime molecular gastronomy favorite Alinea garnering a full three star rating.
The food for which Chicago is best known, however, is more workaday fare. Most out-of-towners will be familiar with the hot dog (all beef dog, yellow mustard, diced onion, neon green relish, sport peppers, tomato wedges, pickle spear, and celery salt, on a poppy seed bun) or pizza (deep dish) to which the city lends its name. Natives, meanwhile, enjoy all manner of ethnic cuisine, from Devon Avenue's numerous Indian restaurants, down through Greektown and into the Mexican culinary paradise that is the South Side's Pilsen neighborhood.
Chicago has begun exporting another local delicacy: Garrett Popcorn. From starting in a home kitchen, to a Madison Street storefront in the downtown Loop district (in front of which there was nearly always a line of customers), Garrett now has outposts all over the Chicagoland area, a packaged retail offering, and a kiosk in O'Hare airport for those wishing to spread the Gospel of Garrett worldwide.
The company's signature snack is "Garrett Mix" (as it is known in the USA; it goes by "Chicago Mix" at the company's 50 international locations): a sweet-and-savory blend of caramel popcorn and cheese popcorn initially tossed together by Garrett customers, and sold as a formal combination beginning in 1977.
Though Garrett has been around for more than 70 years, the modern history of craft brewing in Chicago is significantly more brief. After the last of the small breweries petered out in 1978, a decade passed until Goose Island (now owned by Anheuser-Busch, of Budweiser fame) opened its doors in 1988. Like… well, everywhere else on Earth, Chicago saw an explosion of craft breweries in the past two decades. Among the most successful is Revolution Brewing, the brainchild of Goose Island alumni Josh Deth, who opened for business in 2010.
Revolution's mainstay Anti-Hero IPA has been a fridge staple for me since I first tasted it. My wife once joked that it now tasted like water to her, after consuming an untold number of cans at home, at bars, at sporting events and concerts and cookouts and anywhere else one might reach for a frosty brewski.
The company's experimental forays into different styles have been generally well-received. They've also been eager collaborators; I took a look at the Jameson Caskmates expression aged in ex-Revolution casks back in 2019.
The subject of today's review is just such a mash-up. Revolution's own site for this beer indicates that it is "The ultimate Chicago pairing, made with more than 450 pounds of Garrett Popcorn." The brewery's blog elaborates further:
"A recipe that included Garrett CaramelCrisp popcorn in the mash, brown sugar caramelizing in the boil, rye malt and lactose for mouthfeel, and a finish of kosher salt to complete the flavor profile."
To say that my inner (OK, fine: outer) fat boy was elated when I got wind of this concoction is an understatement. I am both a Revolution fan and a junk food junkie, so the combination of the two was nigh irresistible to me. I hightailed it down to Binny's Beverage Depot (itself a Chicago institution whose fame is spreading farther and wider over time) and secured myself a few cans, one of which I will be revieweing for you here today.
Before I pull the tab, however, a few final specifics: This comes in at 7% ABV. A four pack of 16 ounce cans runs $11; I'll be evaluating this as though it were $2/ 12 ounce can, or roughly $12 for a six pack, which is in-line with most of the better craft beers around these parts.
Revolution Brewing CaramelCrisp – Review
Color: Hazy medium-dark brown with ruby glints.
On the nose: Malty, and nutty, in the manner of brown ales. I'm getting a subtly rich, red fruitiness on this, as well as some baked, honeyed notes of graham cracker. With time, the sweet scent of molasses beginning to emerge. I also start to notice an appealingly herbaceous scent here that brings to mind the freshly cut pine boughs of Christmastime. In total, this smells very autumnal.
In the mouth: The first sip produces a mellow sweetness that, indeed, evokes caramelized sugar. This tilts into a more savory off-bitter flavor in the middle of the mouth, though the effect is relatively mild compared with the full-on bitterness of the brewery's heavily hopped IPAs. That maltiness again sings out momentarily toward the back of the mouth. On the finish, the aforementioned lactose is evident in a milky, mouth-coating texture that is the predominant lingering influence here.
This is nice enough, but the beer plays it far too safe. Revolution is capable of pushing flavor to the types of extremes that earn the respect of hardcore beer geeks. In contrast, this seems like it is aimed at more of a mass market audience, perhaps reflecting the desire to appeal to the Garrett fan base, which presumably includes a lot of folks whose beer experience is limited to innocuous local mediocrities like Old Style. I'm glad I tried this as a one-off experiment, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to the similarly curious consumers out there, but it's in no danger of supplanting Anti-Hero as my Revolution beer of choice. To reflect all of that, I am awarding a score bang in the middle of our price-sensitive scoring bands.

Norristown Celebrates Large Redevelopment Projects, Future of State Hospital Site
NORRISTOWN- The development of 68 acres of the Norristown State Hospital highlighted the magnitude of big development projects in the works throughout the Municipality of Norristown.
Current and past members of Norristown Municipal Council, municipal officials and state lawmakers celebrated the future development of the Norristown State Hospital property Monday afternoon with the release this month of a Request for Proposals to repurpose this huge swath of former state-owned property.
After a conveyance plan and land planning study commissioned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2017 to analyze feasible future uses of the property, the almost 70 acres of land at the hospital was deeded to the Montgomery County Redevelopment Authority (RDA) on behalf of the Municipality in Nov. 2022. The RDA developed the RFP for this large-scale redevelopment project and will be open for submission through Summer 2023.
"This is a momentous day for Norristown. This is our chance to reposition ourselves in the regional marketplace," said Council President Tom Lepera. "Something like this comes along the way and it gives us an opportunity to change the narrative in Norristown, so it's a big deal."
Lepera continued, "(Norristown State Hospital) has served the state and the community for generations and now it will serve the community in a totally different way."
With the conveyance of a portion of the campus to the municipality, it opens up the land to be developed and add to the municipality's tax base, which it could not do before as it was owned by the Commonwealth. Early figures presented at Monday's event showed the potential for tens of millions in real state and other local taxes being collected for the municipality.
Municipal Administrator Crandall O. Jones and Council President Lepera complimented State Rep. Matt Bradford and State Sen. Amanda Cappelletti for their hard work to get the land conveyed to the municipality.
"This isn't a community with its hand out; It's a community with its hand out to shake hands and create partners," said Rep. Bradford. "This is only possible because of a promise made five years ago by Gov. Wolf that this day would come. It did not come soon enough for a community that needs rateables desperately. The plans and the vision ahead warms my heart."
"I am proud to have been just a small part of helping to make this happen," added Sen. Cappelletti. "I'm excited to see the vision comes to live that Norristown has for these lands and what it wants to do for its community."
The RFP process for the state hospital grounds is the biggest and latest development for a number of other projects that have completed, or are in various stages of development in the Municipality.
Other highlighted projects in various stages of development include:
Main and DeKalb street (northwest corner)- The municipality purchased a number of these vacant parcels in the downtown business district for approximately $2 million in 2019. Council approved Philadelphia-based MM Partners' mixed-use proposal concept for the site in Sept. 2021. An agreement of sale to MM was approved in March 2022 for $2.5 million. Construction will start in 2023.;
Kennedy Kenrick Catholic High School (Johnson Highway)- This former Catholic high school on over 12 acres of land in the municipality's north end is slated for development of over 300 townhouses and apartments. Final land development approval is imminent. Construction set to start in 2023.;
Luxor (Nexus) Luxury Apartments (900 Luxor Lane)- A $27 million investment completed in 2017, this is a trendy, new apartment building not far from the downtown business district.; and
Montgomery County Justice Center (East Main Street)- The county's $400+ million expansion of their courthouse campus will abut the redevelopment site at Main and DeKalb. This will drive new business and foot traffic in the downtown district. This project has been ongoing since Spring 2022.
