Greetings from Scoutable and welcome to our November Wrap Up.
Last weekend, of the 1,431 properties scheduled for auction in Sydney, only 394 of those sold under the hammer. Interestingly, 310 properties were sold prior to auction, 8 sold after, and 317 were passed in. A further 220 were withdrawn. While it may seem dismal, we believe it to be a great market for buyers as the auction climate cools. Melbourne had a fair turnout with a 66% clearance rate whereas in Brisbane, close to 50% were either passed in or withdrawn.
As usual for this time of year, stock levels are dropping with the lead up to Christmas and school holidays. Vendors and agents alike are keen to tie things up before the market completely shuts down - though options may be limited, a perfect time to secure a property for a good price.
The Reserve Bank of Australia decided to keep the official cash rate on hold at 1.5% at its November meeting and is expected to remain at this record low till the latter half of next year according to the OECD (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development).
This one bedroom art deco apartment is situated in an unrestricted company titled building, suiting both first home buyers and investors. The walk up complex was built in the 1930s, comprising 25 apartments, over three levels.
Whilst the apartment is compact, at approximately 35sqm, the layout and leafy outlook certainly give it a sense of space. The property is presented in rentable condition, however, there is plenty of scope to improve with refurbishment of the kitchen and bathroom, and the option to expose the timber floor beneath the carpet.
The property is located next to Rushcutters Bay Park, within walking distance to the CBD (approx. 2km), transport (500m to Kings Cross train station), cafe and retail facilities.
With a price guide of $600,000, it was snapped up quickly and sold last night for $630,000.
The apartment provides above average potential for capital growth whilst providing solid rental returns.
Greetings from Scoutable and welcome to our June Wrap Up.
We hope you're all keeping warm during these cooler months. Is it really tax time already??
For all our investor friends, find a link below to a great article with some hot tips relating to your investment property at tax time. As a few minor adjustments have been made, it might be worth a read and/or talking to a tax professional.
As mentioned in our recent budget breakdown newsletter, July 1 will bring some changes to the property market. It will be very interesting to see how the sub $800,000 market is affected with the changes to stamp duty for first home buyers. Will properties just increase in purchase price by the stamp duty concessions? Or will the grant give first home buyers an edge over investors? Time will tell. Further, will the new taxes and changes made to foreign ownership ease the affordability issues in Sydney.
Good afternoon and welcome to Scoutable's April Wrap Up.
We hope you all managed to take some time off over the holiday period.
As per usual, Easter brought the property market to a near halt as you'll see in the Auction table below. Anzac Day also kept things relatively quiet but we're starting to see it pick up again.
Scoutable is now preparing for its second trip to Asia. We'll be in Hong Kong and Singapore for a week mid May so if you or someone you know is looking to invest in Australian property, get in touch. We're available to discuss the Australian property market, Scoutable services and how we can assist with your property search.
Sitting on 655sqm of land is this four bedroom, four bathroom home complete with parking for three cars, under-house cellar, swimming pool and fully self contained one-bedroom apartment. One of the Scoutable perks is exploring beautiful residences like this.
The master craftsmanship throughout is second to none and it's the details that really set it apart. We love the chevron flooring, elevated garden and walk in pantry. We also love the full length verandah overlooking the pool and garden and the panoramic Harbour Bridge and city views offered by the rooftop terrace.


Who says they don't like eggplant?
旾n a small bowl combine well the bread crumbs and the Parmesan. In a heavy saucepan combine the rice, 2 cups water, and salt to taste, bring the water to a boil, and cook the rice, covered, over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Halve the eggplants lengthwise and with a melon-ball cutter scoop out the flesh, reserving 4 cups of it and leaving 1/4-inch shells. In a kettle of boiling salted water blanch the eggplant shells in batches for 4 minutes and drain them, inverted, on paper towels.
旾n a large heavy skillet brown the sausage over moderate heat, stirring, and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Chop the reserved eggplant and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook it with the celery, the bell pepper, and the onions over moderate heat, stirring occasionally and scraping up the browns bits, until the mixture is golden. Add 1 cup water and cook the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add 1 cup more water and cook the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, or until the eggplant is very soft.
旾n a large bowl combine the eggplant mixture, the sausage, the rice, the scallion greens, the parsley, the cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. Divide the mixture among the eggplant shells, arrange the eggplants in 2 shallow 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-baking pans, and add 1 cup water to each pan. Bake the eggplants, covered with foil, in a preheated 350癋. oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the eggplants with the bread crumb mixture and broil them in batches under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the topping is golden.

Q: React native + expo большой размер apk С помощью exp build:android скомпилировал дефолтный проект с несколькими надписями. Получаю apk размером 25.5 метров. Недавно начал пользоваться ra и поэтому не знаю норма ли это и как уменьшить размер apk

A: Это нормальный размер apk для пустого Expo-приложения. Создатели объясняют такой большой размер тем, что в apk запакованы библиотеки для Expo API, не зависимо нужны они вам или нет. Если вам необходимо "тонкое" приложение - Expo не лучший выбор. Как вариант, вы можете мигрировать свое приложение из Expo в React Native как описано в этой статье(на английском).

Birds Field Notes from Eeyou Istchee
Threatened Shorebirds in the Eeyou Istchee
Shorebirds, as a group, require special conservation attention. They have declined by about 40 percent over the last 50 years.
Shorebirds are a group of birds from two main families, the sandpipers and the plovers. Sandpipers have relatively long beaks that can be curved or straight, along with relatively small heads, whereas plovers have short stout beaks and relatively big heads. Both have long legs and are found along the shores such as beaches, mudflats, and rocky headlands where they use their beaks to get food on or beneath the surface.
These are both large families and include individual species that live in a wide range of habitats. In the sandpiper family, species range in size from very large Whimbrel with its distinctive drooping bill or the equally large Marbled Godwit with its very long and straight bill, to the tiny Least Sandpiper, the smallest of this clan.
In the group of plovers observed along James Bay, the size difference is less dramatic, but spans Black-bellied Plover, which is a bit larger than a Robin, to the Semipalmated plover, which is about half the size of its black-bellied cousin.
Red Knot
There are three subspecies of Red Knot in Canada: rufa, roselaari, and Islandica. Rufa is federally Endangered, and is the subspecies that breeds at lower latitudes of the Canadian Arctic. Rufa populations migrate through Cree homelands of James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and southern South America. Roselaari, the more westerly subspecies, breeds in Alaska and Siberia and is listed as Threatened by SARA. Islandica is the easterly subspecies, breeding on the northeastern islands of the Arctic Archipelago including Baffin Island and Greenland. Its status is Special Concern.
The Rufa Red Knot's migration is legendary! It is about 30,000 km annually from the Arctic breeding grounds to Tierra del Fuego (Chile/ Argentina) and back. Learn more about it in our comic A Year in the Life of a Red Knot. Rufa Red Knots spend days to weeks feeding and resting along the James Bay coast before multiday flights south to the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of St. Lawrence or the coastal USA and from there to South America. Several sites within the coastal territory of the Cree Nation of Waskaganish may be important stopover habitat for this species. The western side of James Bay is extremely important as stopover areas for the Red Knot.
Hudsonian Godwit
This coastal migrant has an extremely small breeding range that extends from the coast of Northwestern Hudson Bay to the Mackenzie Delta. This large, long-billed shorebirds also has a tremendous migration that takes it to the tip of South America and back. It uses that long bill to probe deep into mud and tidal flats in search of worms, molluscs and other invertebrates. Along James Bay, watch for the big and impressive shorebird in the rich bays and coastal mud flats near river deltas.
Buff-breasted Sandpiper
This species is less common than the previous two along the James Bay coast, but occasionally is found along the coast or in areas of habitats characterized by short grassy vegetation. It is listed as Special Concern on Schedule One of Canada's Species at Risk Act. Unlike most sandpipers, this species also is found in dryer areas. It over-winters in the southern cone countries of South America (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay).
Red-necked Phalarope
Phalaropes are aquatic shorebirds, observed outside their breeding season on open water including the open ocean. Along the coast of James Bay, this species can turn up on migration of small ponds in from the water's edge. This phalarope is listed as Special Concern on Schedule One of SARA. It breeds across the arctic, from Labrador to Alaska, and winters largely on the open ocean of the coasts of North America. Unlike other shorebirds, the female phalarope is more brightly coloured, and the male exclusively incubates the eggs.

Recognising yourself in the Drama Triangle
Have you ever found yourself in an interaction with someone thinking, "Oh no, here we go again…"? Often this happens just before plunging into a conflict that is so predictable it's almost like you're reading it from a script.
When this happens, you might be participating in the Drama Triangle, also known as the Karpman Triangle for psychologist Stephen Karpman who developed this model in the 1970s.
Karpman's Drama Triangle, image by Caitlin.
The triangle represents the roles people can play in an interaction they're having with each other–it doesn't represent the people themselves, but the role they are enacting in a relationship where power is not equal. People's roles can change through time. Even within the same interaction, people can find themselves moving in and out of different roles as they struggle to find a power balance. This can take minutes or it can take years. It's also worth pointing out that this happens in normal people who are having normal relationship conflict–the labels sound like they're specific to abusive relationships, but in fact all of us will find ourselves in the drama triangle at some point in our lives.
I recognised myself circling around the drama triangle recently at work: someone who I normally have an equitable working relationship came to me with a problem and I found myself rushing into Rescuer Mode, wanting to fix the situation and save the day. But even as I was doing that, I already felt the resentment building up that I was being asked to do something that was this person's responsibility. That they weren't living up to their side of the bargain. That I could do it so much better, but why should I have to do it at all? Already, even in the middle of my rescuer instincts, the Persecutor role was starting to come out. I found myself picturing a dramatic showdown like one of those old-timey westerns where the two combatants face each other at high noon. Or a costume drama where someone in a very fancy dress flounces out in a fit of self-righteousness after giving the other party the comeuppance they deserved.
Fortunately, when you recognise yourself in the Drama Triangle, you have the power to choose! You can get out of the drama and move into the Winner's Triangle, developed by Acey Choy in the 1990s.
Acey Choy's Winner's Triangle. Image by Caitlin.
When you find yourself having that "Oh no, here we go again…" feeling, it's time to rebalance responsibility in your relationship. Voice your concerns. Be transparent. Notice your own vulnerability and that of others. Be Empowering: notice your own power. In a coaching situation, notice the potential and the capabilities of the client/coachee. Work from facts; notice where beliefs or assumptions are distorting the situation. Notice the resourcefulness that you and others have in the relationship. Consider whose responsibility it is: if it isn't yours, let go of it and allow the other person to step into their full power.
Though it was challenging to give up my Rescuer role, I was able to step back and allow my colleague to move into her full potential. A big learning for me in this was that giving up my Rescuer role didn't make me less capable or resourceful. But it did mean that I could direct all that energy to other pursuits, making a win for both me and my colleague.

A I come from a small place where there were no schools during our time. My father thus put me in a hostel early on. Being on my own since I was 9, I have always found ways to get things done. If I don't like something or I don't find something I want, I create it.
Always having the entrepreneurial zeal, I have tried creating or been a part of founding teams. Entrepreneur in residence, working in start-ups, mentoring start-ups - I have experienced it all. I love the chaos and the uncertainty of the start-up.
A travel addict, shoe lover, Garfield inspired and living in Harry Potter world, I can be found either in virtual world or enjoying chocolate, cakes and ice creams.
Q What was the inspiration behind starting travel chronicles?
A I was a digital media professional handling social communication for luxury clients before I moved to Mozambqiue. Not knowing the language and having nothing to do, I started travelling around exploring the virgin lands. There were wonderful experiences which I wanted to share with everyone. So I thought of starting a travel blog. While travelling I came across many other travellers who had wonderful stories to share. And those stories were inspiring. I decided to share these stories with the world. And that's when I dropped the idea of the travel blog and Travel Chronicles came into existence.
Q Where do you see TC in 2 years from now?
A Two years from now we see TC shaping up as not only a platform to share Travel Stories but a place where people also help each other make travel stories.
Q With a full-time job in a start-up, how do you run a start-up of your own?
A I love my role at the start-up. But TC is my baby. I make good use of the time difference. So first half of the day is busy with y full time role at the start-up and the second half, I give to my baby.
Q A message to all SHEROES out there.
A Adventures are the best way to learn, so don't fear the adventure. Step out of your comfort zone and let the adventure begin.

War-end declaration 'slippery slope' for U.S. Korea presence: U.N. Command general
by The Kootneeti Team · 6th October 2018
Image: SCMP
WASHINGTON – A declaration to end the 1950-53 Korea War could be a "slippery slope" to questioning the need for the U.S. troop presence in South Korea, the deputy head of the U.N. Command overseeing the Korean armistice said on Friday, ahead of new talks between Washington and Pyongyang.
Canadian Lieutenant-General Wayne Eyre said North Korea's push for such a declaration could be a ploy to divide the U.S.-South Korea alliance and secure the withdrawal of the 28,500 U.S. troops based in the South.
"You have to question why North Korea is pushing so hard for that end-of-war declaration," he told an event at Washington's Carnegie Institute for International Peace.
"The optimistic would say that he (North Korean leader Kim Jong Un) needs it for a domestic audience so he can change his ways and have a new approach; the pessimist would say it's another way to split the allies apart."
While saying that the current mood of detente and negotiation had given hope for a process "moving forward towards a lasting peace" on the Korean peninsula, Eyre said the North Koreans were "experts at separating allies."
"So what could an end-of-war declaration mean? Even if there is no legal basis for it, emotionally people would start to question the presence and the continued existence of the United Nations Command," he said.
"And it's a slippery slope than to question the presence of U.S. forces on the peninsula."
Eyre spoke as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo headed for his fourth visit this year to North Korea, seeking to break an impasse in denuclearization talks and clear the way for the second summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump. Pompeo is due in Pyongyang on Sunday local time, or Saturday U.S. East Coast time, after a stop in Japan.
North Korea had long sought a formal end to the Korean War to replace the armistice that stopped the fighting but left it and the U.S.-led U.N. Command still technically at war.
At a June 12 summit between Trump and Kim in Singapore, the U.S. leader pledged security guarantees for North Korea if it abandoned nuclear weapons that potentially threaten the United States.
Trump has said he wants "at some point" to bring back U.S. troops from Korea..
South Korean President Moon Jae-in is seeking an end-of-war declaration by the year-end, arguing it would encourage North Korea to denuclearize. Washington has argued that Pyongyang must give up its nuclear weapons first.

Qatar Airways CEO says he wants to open a route between Doha and Belfast.
Qatar Airways wanted to keep expanding in Britain. It already flies to four UK destinations, and in May will add London Gatwick as a fifth, and would like to launch a new route between Doha and Belfast, Northern Ireland, in future.
Would be the next logical step giving them coverage of the whole of the British Isles and if Northern Ireland gets its government back again there are probably investment opportunities available as well.
aviatorconcorde
Has any airline ever gone into expansion mode the way Qatar have of late? Will they be the first non European airline to serve all 4 UK countries?
Their nearest competitor Emirates, can't get into these airports as they don't have a plane small enough. Then again their Dubai hub is already rammed and they are looking to tap markets with No Emirates service at all. I.e Mexico and Panama.
aviatorconcorde said:
With their hub operation and with them being cut off from a lot of the local routes they had no choice but to expand to keep the feed going.
I've no doubt it'll be a case of when not if they serve Northern Ireland.
About three years ago the Qatar UK and Ireland chief said in an interview that his airline intended to begin services from the South West, from Ireland, from Gatwick and probably from another airport in Scotland.
At the time Ireland was not defined but Dublin commenced within a year or so, the South West (CWL) was announced a year ago and began operations yesterday, and Gatwick has also been announced. Only the 'other' Scottish route has not yet been introduced. Many thought it would be GLA to complement Qatar at EDI. Given that Etihad is to withdraw from EDI perhaps Scotland/ME is being re-evaluated.
Anyway, the point of all this is that for the most part Qatar does not make empty promises when it comes to its intentions re new markets.
Reactions: aviatorconcorde and Jerry

I am also hoping that they will finaly add a route to Belfast International. Last year it was reported that QR wanted to expand in Europe & add more routes, Belfast is on there radar. It also was reported at the start of the this year that possble middle eastern investers was at the BFS along with airport head & management in what looks to be a tour of the airport. BFS needs a lot of upgrades, I think the last time the terminal got expaneded was in the 2006. But BFS still uses the same check in, security & Air Bridges from the 1990s a bit out of date. Plus BFS is getting busier & not coping with it well. Thanks to EasyJet & Ryanair numbers for BFS have shot up & a big demand for International routes which are not being served. Most poeple from Northern Ireland who fly will go to Dublin for US or Middle East. QR may think it can get thoses passenger numbers so instead of travelling 2 hours by car to Dublin for your flight you can drive from Belfast town centre to BFS in 30 minutes. Maybe thats way they have ordered the A321LR which would be a good test aircraft to see if there is demand.
louis_walton
Would BFS need to cater to a Middle Eastern Airlines needs more or are they already well prepared? (such as rail links, lounges etc)
Reactions: a300boy and Ryan Kirkpatrick
louis_waltom said:
BFS is hopeing that the nearby railway line will have a station build for the airport but the airport does have one lounge. BFS may need to cater to Middle East Airlines.
Reactions: a300boy
At the moment i'd have thought that any ME3 airline would want certain things in place at BFS first before committing and they maybe holding back because of no government in Northern Ireland at the moment.
Belfast's owners Vinci hope to be able to attract Qatar Airways and American Airlines to the airport
http://www.irishnews.com/business/2019/09/20/news/headline-1716972/
Jerry said:
How are they going to attract American? United couldn't make New York work (without APD).
You have got to admire the optimism.
Reactions: jfy1999
I'm guessing with a big cheque!
BFS really needs it tbh. Not much about the airport has really changed just the viewing gallary & more bars back in 2015.
Since sadly Thomas Cook gone will TUI add BFS to Orlando or could VS add extra flight to Orlando. If Qatar Airways deos start at BFS I will book to fly over to get film the 1st flight in.
Reactions: louis_walton
Long haul wise it will be interesting to see what happens will BFS, there is no APD on direct flights but that doesn't seem to be enough to attract the routes. I do wonder if the NI government not being in place has effected their route development on that front. With Virgin i wonder if they'll go 747 for the season or just be happy with higher yeilds.
New York, Boston and Doha on the horizon for Northern Ireland?
Didn't think there were routes to Qatar, New York and Boston. Any money would actually be to get such routes started.
A few years ago the NI Government tried to provide United Airlines (or it might have been Continental before they joined/were taken over by United) with £9 million of state aid to keep the Belfast-Newark service running. Unsurprisingly it was deemed illegal state aid and the offer had to be withdrawn. We still don't know how closely the UK will be tied to EU regulations post-Brexit (if at all) or whether the EU will allow some flexibility for its member states as they recover from the effects of Covid.
Either way the failed Newark initiative might suggest a considerable sum would be needed to get all three routes off the ground (literally).
No doubt there would be a considerable subsidy. You'd have thought that Aer lingus would be a good option but they are going to Manchester so potentially maybe they'll try and tempt jetblue instead.
With Doha i wonder if a shared service with Cardiff could be possible considering demand may not be enough for direct for either airport at the moment.
Could transatlantic flights be returning to Northern Ireland?

Homeowners may find themselves hosting senior guests several times throughout a typical year. These occasions can be wonderful opportunities for making memories, but homeowners may need to take certain precautions to ensure that guests are safe and comfortable. This may involve making some minor modifications around the home.
Mobility and comfort needs for seniors may differ those necessary to accommodate other guests. Meeting the needs of senior guests may involve any of the following.
• Make sure pathways leading to and from the home are level, cleared and easy to see.
• If possible, add a ramp over stairs that lead to the front door. Ensure handrails are sturdy.
• Remove clutter and excess furniture if a guest visiting will be using a walker or a manual/motorized wheelchair.
• Remove accent rugs from a home, and be sure that any mats are secured with nonslip material.
• Increase lighting in entryways, staircases and hallways, especially areas leading to kitchens or bathrooms.
• If guests will be staying overnight, arrange sleeping accommodations on the first floor and/or in a room closest to the bathroom.
• Well-placed grab bars in the bathroom can be an asset. See if you can borrow a portable shower seat to make bathing or showering easier for overnight senior guests.
• For long-term guests, consider replacing round doorknobs and other pulls with lever-action ones that are easy to grab.
• Concessions may need to be made concerning interior temperature, noise levels and television viewing.
Several easy modifications can be made to make senior guests feel comfortable when visiting others.

I love the Dollar Tree! It is so awesome that everything is $1, it is a lifesaver for me as a homeschool teacher (especially with 2 in pre-k)! I buy so much of my school supplies and crafts there. :) It is also great for parties!

Carlos Correa wasn't concerned Eduardo Rodriguez mocked his celebration: 'It was great'
Gabe Lacques
BOSTON — Upbraided by his manager on national television, Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez struck a remorseful tone after he mocked Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa upon finishing six innings of superb work.
Rodriguez even said that after pointing to his wristwatch in a send-up of Correa's "My time" celebration, he'd apologize the next time he sees him.
Correa's response? Nothing but love.
"I loved it, personally," Correa said after Rodriguez struck out seven in six innings of Boston's 12-3 victory in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Monday night. "I think the game should move in that direction where you can show emotions and be yourself and keep it real.
"There's a lot of fakeness out there, the cliché answers that you get, and I think players should be more real, be able to express themselves. He pitched a great game. He was nasty.
"Any time you have a performance like that against the No. 1 offensive team of the season, you can do whatever you want."
MLB PLAYOFF SCHEDULE:Postseason march to World Series
Perhaps deep down, Red Sox manager Alex Cora might agree. But even with a 9-3 lead at the time, on the way to a 2-1 series advantage, Cora's ulterior motive was clear: Don't poke the sleeping bear, even if the Red Sox have a significant upper hand in the series.
"Don't do that," Cora said he told Rodriguez. "Because we don't act that way. We just show up, we play, and we move on, and he knows. I let him know. We don't have to do that. If we're looking for motivation outside of what we're trying to accomplish, we're in the wrong business.
"The only motivation we have is to win four games against them and move on to the next round."
Rodriguez said Cora told him to "stay humble," and that admittedly may be a challenge for the Red Sox after outscoring the Astros 21-8 over the past two games, with all of Houston's runs coming after Boston seized 9-0 leads.
Cora said it wasn't unlike the occasional tough love he doles out to his 4-year-old twins when they, in essence, should know better. He's also close with Correa from his stint as Astros bench coach.
Not that the aggrieved party was that concerned.
"Why would it bother me? It's fun," says Correa. "It's the game of baseball. We should all go out there and have fun. So yeah, I loved it. It was great."


Today I finished most all of the large surface block sanding. DONE! No more!
I still have plenty of smaller areas to touch up and need to wipe down the car to remove the dust but the laborious work of block sanding is done.
I did get to visit a few upholstery shops and I found one I was happy with. I just need to find the original vinyl to make the seat covers with.
The next few days we have friends in town and it is Caroline's birthday so progress will be slow. Looking to get the painting done while the weather is good!
Yesterday I finished the rest of the car in 400 grit and then moved on to 600 grit. It is a painstaking process but hopefully the results will be well worth it. I finished the interior with 600 and called it a night.
I got the entire car done today minus the roof and rear air louvers. I plan on going over the hard to reach areas ONE more time with a maroon scotch brite just to make sure there is plenty of tooth for the paint. The roof is waiting for a longer soft sander seen below to make sure the roof is perfect!
I need to clean the body with wax and grease remover, configure my body dolly to allow painting underneath the car, clean and re-plastic the paint booth, tape and mask the car, buy the paint, etc etc.
The weather is going to be wonderful the next few weeks so if I can do it that would be great.
I have also been working on the interior items as well. I've gone through many, many samples and have more coming still.
Trying to match the grey and green in the middle of this picture.
Found a place that sells the original texture vinyl.
I'm looking to match the left column, 3rd and 4th samples. And the right column 2nd sample down.
The hard part with all of this is I don't have anything but pictures and others experiences with selecting the proper colors. My seat covers were aftermarket and the headliner was replaced. Both have been thrown out as they were useless.
I have a source for quality seat covers but he is in Santa Rosa, CA and that is a heck of a drive. The guy does great work though.
Tomorrow I'm going to look at local upholstery shops and see what they have to offer. Hopefully someone will be able to get the things I need and do it well!
Again slow progress on the car. Between the weather, some personal travel, and an ill-timed cold my progress has been at a snail's pace.
I have been noodling a lot on paint technique and planning. Probably more than necessary.
I got a small project done painting my emergency brake boot and shifter boot with a special vinyl flexible coating to match the grey floor mats. This is how they would have come from the factory.
Parts to be painted after some initial cleaning.
Several steps ahead (not listed, not too important, blah blah blah) and they are done!
Hopefully some more sanding soon!


Just a few miles north of downtown Boston sits Revere Beach, a three-mile stretch of public beach with restaurants, cafes, and a wide variety of recreational activities.
As of 2012, no professionally managed rental units had been constructed in Revere Beach in over 25 years. But with $70 million in critically needed public infrastructure improvements on the horizon (new parking garage, renovated train station, public plaza and walking bridge), the opportunity for new construction was ripe.
Covington spotted this unique combination of market conditions back in 2011 (date needs confirmation) and secured an oceanfront location for Vanguard Waterfront Square, a 194-unit upscale apartment development.
The project completed in summer of 2015 and sold just two years later with rents stabilizing 20% above projections.

Minecraft Seasons New Addon
September 30, 2021 October 4, 2021 Isaac
Since the inclusion of weather conditions have been asking for Minecrafters stations will be added. Some time ago, modder Nandonalt accepted the challenge and gave the Ministry of Defence Seasons surprising, however after having left the modding scene, there was no one to update it. Fear not, for modder Trak and RAWRMaD tester has all covered. It updates the mod to version 1.1 and in addition to it, there's alts.rip that Minecraft players can also try. Let's look at all the cool features, season by season.
Summer is the most "normal" for all seasons. While there is no snow and no leaves change colors, desert biomes become much more dangerous. Since it is much hotter everywhere, deserts become unbearable, and you take periodic damage when you're in the desert sun. Do not worry, once you get the shade that will be fine, but dangerous nonetheless.
In addition to the increasingly deadly deserts, all the rainstorms are destroying the grass, which serves as an easy way to remove all the grass of spring. Wheat also grows 50% faster and the nights are shorter as the days are longer. Fall People love the fall colors, so many packages are Autumn colors texture everything, but this mod leads to another level with his change of leaf color.
What changes are the color gradient of the leaves and grass (so it is fully compatible with any texture pack) and some textures of flowers create an atmosphere of incredible fall? There are also more drops of wheat, which, combined with the fast-growing wheat in the summer makes for very efficient agriculture. Winter
The winter season is going to change their world, the majority. It will be snowing everywhere all the time except in desert biomes. The lakes are frozen, your lawn will be covered by snow, and you'll love it. It is all very well, though: because it is much colder, it can freeze and take damage if not wearing leather armor.
The nights are longer and shorter days, as opposed to summer. I think it would be great if there could be an effect of breathing steam particles were to show when you're outside in the winter, but I guess it is expecting more than one mod already complicated.

Sander Olson was kind enough to offer me a chance to speak… er… type my peace in an interview at nanotech.biz. The link to the interview is HERE. I'm the new interviewee in a list that includes such heavy hitters (and friends/collabs) as Robert Freitas, Tihamer Toth-Fejel, Chris Phoenix, and none other than the good Dr. Hall.


In this Catalog release, user-defined fields display in separate columns when exported. When Instructors set course visibility options, the course settings are persistent for all course sections.
The release notes also include fixed bugs.
In the User Registration CSV Export, user-defined fields display in separate columns in the exported file. This update makes viewing and sorting user-defined fields easier in the exported file.
Course visibility and user participation settings automatically apply to new sections created within a course. This update allows instructors to set visibility restrictions and user participation settings for all sections instead of selecting options for each individual section.
When an instructor limits course visibility for students based on start and end dates, courses remain visible in the student dashboard and transcript. Previously, limiting course visibility caused courses to disappear from the dashboard and transcript.
Is it possible to clarify what happens if a student selects a listing in their student dashboard for a course that has passed its end date and is set to restrict students from viewing the course after its end date? More generally, I'm having trouble thinking of why a student might want to have a listing on their dashboard if they can't access the related course. What's the thought behind leaving all listings on the student's dashboard?
I think the idea is that even if courses are restricted to students, they'll still show up in the Completed or Not Completed tabs of the Student Dashboard. In other words, the course shows up to provide a history or log of past courses, but students will generally not be able to interact with the course (depending on how instructors set up viewing and participation restrictions). Does that help clarify the reasoning?
Thanks Nathan, that clarifies things.
My institution is new to Catalog, and this is the first Release Notes I've seen. Does this mean that the features mentioned above have now been released? I don't see anything about a release date.
Great question! Yes, these features are currently in Catalog. The date of the production release is always in the title of the document. The releases for Catalog work a little differently than in Canvas. Release notes are published when new and updated features and bug fixes are deployed to the production environment (for Canvas, release notes are published when features are deployed to a beta environment for user testing). I hope that helps answer your question!
Thanks so much for the fast reply (and nice feature updates)!

WhatsApp Payments Coming to India Later This Year, Said to Now Have 400 Million Users in the Country
There is still no launch date.
By Reuters | Updated: 26 July 2019 14:22 IST
Full launch of WhatsApp's payments feature had been delayed
It's a regulatory approval question in India at this point: Zuckerberg
Digital payments services have been growing rapidly in India
WhatsApp will roll out its payments service in India this year following a year-long pilot, its global chief Will Cathcart has said, as the Facebook-owned messaging giant taps an upsurge in digital payments in its dominant market.
WhatsApp is ubiquitous across India, where data consumption is surging thanks to cheap Internet, but a full launch of its payments feature had been delayed amid some false messages circulating on the platform that have led to mob lynching and more government scrutiny, according to local media.
The Menlo Park, California-based firm has also been trying to comply with Indian regulations including data storage norms that require all payments-related data to be stored locally.
"It's a regulatory approval question in India at this point," Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday on the company's earnings conference call in reference to WhatsApp Pay.
"We're also working beyond India in a number of other countries and hope to have this rolled out to a large percent of the people who use WhatsApp within the next year," he added.
WhatsApp now has about 400 million users in India, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday, encompassing almost a third of India's population of 1.3 billion. The person did not wish to be named because they were not authorised to discuss the matter with the media.
WhatsApp's payments feature would compete with a crowded market in India that includes Alphabet's Google Pay, Softbank- and Alibaba-backed Paytm and Walmart's PhonePe, all of which are used, especially in cities, to pay for everything from groceries to Uber rides.
Digital payments, lending and e-wallet services have been growing rapidly in India, led by a government push to bring more of the country's cash-loving merchants and consumers into the formal economy.
"Payments services are critical to ... bringing millions more people into India's fast-growing digital economy," Will Cathcart, WhatsApp's global head, said in New Delhi on Thursday.
Cathcart was speaking at an event held to announce a tie-up with India's top government think tank NITI Aayog to promote women's entrepreneurship.
"We can't wait to provide this service to our users across India this year," Cathcart said.
WhatsApp will use India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) standard used by many other digital payments services, which is growing rapidly — UPI processed over 750 million transactions last month, rising from about 246 million a year earlier.

New York City Opera's 'Stonewall' Pays Vocal Tribute to a Messy Uprising
By James Jorden • 06/24/19 11:12am
Maggie (Lisa Chavez) resists arrest in New York City Opera's 'Stonewall'. Sarah Shatz
Everything about the Stonewall Inn was messy: in the summer of 1969 the now-legendary dive bar on Christopher Street lacked such basic amenities as running water, fire exits, functioning toilets or even a liquor license. The dump was a cash cow for the Genovese crime family, who kept it afloat via regular cash bribes to the cops.
And the customers were no more "upscale" than the venue: not so much the chichi East 50's gay men familiar from The Boys in the Band, but a broader spectrum of drag queens, trans people, lesbians, homeless kids and queer people of color.
SEE ALSO: 'Galas' Presents the Life of Maria Callas as Equal Parts Opera and Soap
If the New York City Opera's world premiere Stonewall misses some of the grittiness of the bar, it does gets exactly right the diversity of its clientele. Nowhere in the mix is there a well-coiffed interior designer spouting quips about Maria Montez. Rather, the large cast of characters ticks off just about every box of queer marginalization.
Mark Campbell's lively and informal libretto throws a gaggle of these "misfits" at us quickly in the opening scene of the 70-minute opera: butch lesbian Maggie, closeted school teacher Carlos, drag queens Renata and Valerie, hustlers Andy and Troy and isolated trans woman Sarah.
With so much ground to cover, Campbell doesn't waste any time showing and gets started immediately with the telling: the characters don't have arias so much as elevator speeches.
Iain Bell's music achieves a similar level of efficiency: the opening montage sounds like what the "Tonight" ensemble might have been if West Side Story had been composed by Burt Bacharach. This is extremely user-friendly music, a style that emphasizes the characters' charm, if not downright naiveté.
Once everyone arrived downtown at director Leonard Foglia and set designer Riccardo Hernandez's romanticized vision of the grimy Stonewall, the opera caught its breath before the impending catastrophe. Everyone relaxes and hangs and, more to the point, dances. (The Inn was at that time the only venue in NYC where gay men could dance together.)
The revelry is accompanied by a couple of pre-recorded songs, note-perfect pastiches of late '60s R&B pop, performed by Darlene Love with such full-voiced verve I first assumed they must be actual 50-year-old B sides.
The ensuing "riot" scene takes a brave whack at the impossible task of depicting the almost random series of events that began with a police raid on the bar. Bell merges spoken chants, bits of brassy soundtrack-type chatter and heldentenor hectoring from the police inspector (the stentorian Marc Heller.) But what will stay in my memory is not so much the music as the astonishing fight choreography by Rick and Christian Sordelet, close to a quarter hour of sleek chaos.
In the finale of the piece, Bell and Campbell evoke the aftermath of eerie silence reported by a number of observers of the "Stonewall Uprising"—dawn breaking over an uncertain but hopeful future. I do wish that the ensemble Bell wrote ventured a little farther away from its obvious model, Leonard Bernstein's "Make Our Garden Grow," but the soaring vocal lines fill out the template handsomely. (The alert and sympathetic conductor was Carolyn Kuan.)
Heading a superb cast was Lisa Chavez as the tough Maggie, flinging out compact mezzo tone like fists. Andrew Bidlack (Andy) and Jessica Fishenfeld (as the "lipstick" lesbian Leah) triumphed with daunting leaps to difficult high notes. The casting of trans man Liz Bouk as the trans woman Sarah would be plenty interesting enough for political reasons, but his shimmering alto also provided a lovely moment of repose in an otherwise skittish opera.
"Stonewall," the event or the uprising or whatever you call it, famously gained significance in retrospect, or, to put it another way, nobody realized its importance when it was actually happening. I do hope the same will not have to be said about Stonewall, the opera: Saturday afternoon's invigorating performance played to a half-empty Rose Theater of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The ACLU of Maine is urging the Maine legislature to reject several parts of the governor's proposed budget that raise significant constitutional concerns. We're also arguing that the LePage administration is misusing the budget process in an effort to ram through significant changes to Maine's social safety net.
Specifically, we urge the Legislature to reject LD 390 part ZZZ, which would eliminate the General Assistance program entirely; part EEEE, which would ban families from receiving food stamps or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) if a parent has been convicted of a drug felony – which until last year included possession of even miniscule amounts of most opiates – in the last 20.5 years; part FFFF-4, which would reduce the lifetime cap on receiving TANF to 36 months from 60 months; part HHHH, which would deny General Assistance specifically to asylum seekers; and part KKKK, which would repeal provisions in the law that require DHHS to provide certain benefits to asylum seekers.
These proposals raise significant constitutional concerns because they single out certain populations for unequal treatment, without serving any legitimate purpose to the state. Limiting or eliminating the public safety net for some children, asylum seekers and people who have battled drug addiction in the past will do great harm to many people, but it won't save the state money or help people get their lives on track. We believe that good governance requires policy proposals based on actual data, not personal biases.
Further, we object to the LePage administration's attempt to use the budget process to make major policy changes. The administration has made a habit of trying to circumvent the normal legislative process in order to pass policy proposals that have been rejected, sometimes repeatedly, by previous legislatures. The budget process is too complicated to allow for full public participation and deliberation on what amount to incredibly significant policy changes.
If parts ZZZ, EEEE, FFFF, HHHH, and KKKK had been proposed as individual bills, each would have a complete hearing with time for public testimony and thorough consideration by committee. Instead, these major proposals are buried in a several-hundred pages long bill, and will receive only an abbreviated amount of consideration.
