The Cats Whiskers? Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure Review
September 5, 2019 Rebel.Red.Carnation 0 Games, Reviews,
We recently had the pleasure of playing Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure, the charming wit and quirky sense of humour really bring the game into a world of its own. My personal favourite aspect is the talking cat, I mean I'd have endless hours of fun if any of my kitties could talk, then again once they had learnt the word 'food' I'd probably have gone insane… Anyway.
Developed by Stuck In Attic Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure is a traditional point-and-click style adventure game set in the dark town of Darkham. I am not a massive fan of point-and-click games but the overall tone of the game is dark with a humorous twist, which pretty much speaks to my soul!
Our adventure starts as you play as the dark detective Don R Ketype, armed with his broody temperament and his beige trenchcoat, he heads in search of the 'Necronomicon' (a book of spells, the occult). He heads to the library in Darkham and comes across another main character, Buzz Kerwan a librarian, asking him for information about the book, which he has no information about. Suddenly there is an explosion which results in the kidnapping of Don, and Buzz finding the book, which had been under his nose the whole time. Although this seems like a very quick turn of events, there is a lot of clicking and a number of options to explore before getting to the end result.
Buzz goes home to his little apartment with the book and reads it (abracadabra… talking cat!). He turns his originally named cat 'Kitteh' into a walking, talking miracle, yet the cat is not very pleased with her newfound talent. Despite her general unhappiness, our little feline friend is often of use throughout the game. Kitteh is probably my favourite character, not just because I love cats, like all cats, every cat, even the mean ones, but because she is purely hilarious, direct and debonair in her approach to the general adventure. The mission is set at this point to reversing Kittehs ability and rescuing the good old detective. This sets up the themes of the game. At this point, I was intrigued to carry on playing and fully explore the game, mainly to find out why this book existed and why it was in that library, and why Ketype wanted it… Mysteryyyyy.
From here I found the story quite complicated in that the story is slightly hard to follow, with the bare bones of exciting ideas being there but they didn't flow well together. As the beginning started off well I lost the general plot of the rest of the game which kinda dropped my interest, particularly with the exhaustion of clicking the characters dialogue which is a large factor of the game throughout.
For those gamers who prefer a fast pace advancement and bore with long levels and dialogue, this probably won't be your cup of tea, I mean I personally love story-based games but I found this too long-winded and frustrating at times even though the game itself is fairly short, but I persevered purely due to the humourous experience along the way.
Overall my first impression of the game was good, but I dunno whether it's just my lack of patience or slow progression of the game, I found it after a while not very entertaining. Hats off to the creators though for the dialogue and animation alone, they managed to create a creepy yet witty atmosphere which was refreshing.
The TL;DR:
Witty, debonair approach to a mysterious adventure;
Talking cat – always fun;
Long-winded puzzle game with a partly confusing story;
If you love dark and humorous fun Gibbous is the one for you.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Deontay Wilder has waited a decade for the chance to pick on somebody his own size.
Yet even the 32-year-old Wilder agrees he had never fought anyone approaching his own stature — not in physical size, but in boxing achievement — until quite recently. He has built his career with sometimes confounding deliberateness, taking his time to learn the sport he only picked up as a 20-year-old after moving on from football and basketball in his native Alabama.
Fury has fought twice since his 2 ½-year ring hiatus, both times against overmatched foes. But he is reinvested in his career after moving his training base to California, and he radiates confidence as he resumes his pursuit of the title belts he lost during his absence.
Wilder and Fury seem almost certain to put on an entertaining show, and not just because of their compelling public appearances — the most recent of which ended with Fury ripping off his shirt after nearly coming to blows with Wilder on stage.


Preventing soil erosion: No-till agriculture dramatically lessens the loss of soil and its nutrients, and prevents the kind of soil run-off that clogs streams and waterways.
Preventing erosion protects aquatic ecosystems and preserves the quality of our nation's water.
No-till agriculture reduces soil erosion by as much as 90 percent when compared to intensive tillage.
United States Department of Agriculture USDA ranks sediment runoff as the number one pollutant in our nation's waterways.
Conserving water: Because crop residue from previous harvests (stalks, husks, etc.) is left on the ground, and the soil is not plowed up, evaporation is limited and more water stays in the soil.
Wildlife: Atrazine does not affect wildlife diets, because it does not accumulate in the tissues of insects, fish or other animals which may be food sources in the animal feeding chain. Because atrazine ELPS farmers use no-till farming practices, which create habitat for wildlife.
Cutting fuel costs to famers: Less plowing means lower production costs and reduced emissions because of fewer equipment trips across the field.
Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions: the constant plowing up of agricultural land required by old-style agriculture to control weeds results in the massive release of CO2 into the atmosphere from decomposing organic matter in the soil. No-till keeps that CO2 trapped in the ground. Switching to no-till promotes the storage of about 600 pounds of carbon in an acre of soil each year.

The resale value of a car mainly depends on its brand, model, engine, year it's built, and most importantly its condition. However, there are things that you could do to maximize your car's price within the fair market value as a pre-owned vehicle.
To guide you on that, here's what you should consider when preparing your car for resale. These won't take too much effort from you, but it could ultimately make or break the deal.
Even a little dent or scratch could lessen the value of your car. Damages like these could turn the buyer off especially when it's pretty visible. Have them repaired in your trusted auto shops before putting your car up for sale so that it will look as mint as possible. Make sure to include damages in your interiors and trunk as well. You might be surprised; a P1,000-repair could add P20,000 to P50,000 to your asking price.
You may not know it but your car might have some leaks underneath. This will not only affect your resale value, but it will also endanger the life of the person who's buying your car. If you spot any leaks from your car, such as the engine oil or coolant leaks, then have it repaired immediately. You can also have them check everything under the hood so your buyer will get the value that they deserve.
Buyers are always skeptic when they are inspecting the item that they want to buy, especially that it's already pre-owned. As the seller, you might overlook some things when preparing your car. Don't rush and find time to inspect your vehicle in a buyer's perspective. In order to do this, you need to be critical in inspecting your car. Ask yourself, "will I buy this car when I see this?" This way, you will be able to understand how your probable buyer thinks, which could prepare you for the questions that he or she has.
In the world of selling, it's not only your item that needs to be taken care of. First impressions can make your buyer agree with the value that you posted. You and your item should also appeal to their eyes the very first time they see it, in such a way that they will be assured that whoever they are dealing with is a legitimate, trustworthy individual.
This also applies when reselling your car. When meeting with a probable buyer, find time to clean the vehicle inside and out. You can check this blog to more know about tips on how to clean your car's interior.
Moreover, clean and declutter your garage and house. You can also dress-up and prepare something for him or her to setup the mood, which could lighten up the whole process for both of you.
Tip: Have the car's documents ready when a potential buyer visits you. Nothing beats being ready when they've decided to push through with the deal right away.
Aside from cleaning your car, you could also spend money on having it professionally detailed. Detailing is the process of cleaning, restoring, and finishing of a vehicle to a show car quality. Trust us, a few thousands could add great value to your car. If the buyer is left with a choice between a regular and detailed vehicle, he or she will most likely choose the detailed one as its overall appearance will be one of the first consideration.
Preparing your car for reselling is a task that everyone should consider when it's time to sell their ride. If the buyer feels that the car that they are buying is loved by their previous owner, they will appreciate the vehicle more, which could lead to a more advantageous outcome for you.

Huntworth Roundabout is a key junction in Bridgwater's highway network and experiences significant peak-time congestion and queuing, impacting on access to nearby employment and residential areas and causing blocking back towards the M5 Junction 24 roundabout.
The junction is a key connection from Bridgwater to the Strategic Highway Network (the M5). It also forms part of the high-frequency bus route connecting Taunton and Bridgwater.

I made a few versions, and I thought "this is fun and easy!" (boy was I mistaken).
This is super fun, because the pattern is totally unpredictable, you cannot tell how the pattern is going to come out. Just let go and keep on drawing!
3) How about a shaded version?
Ok, not bad!!! And I used markers, which are a medium which I am not entirely comfortable with yet.
Whoa, that is one HUGE monster aquafleur!!! Shaded with markers, the tile measures 5x5 inches.
Did you see the little asterisk pretending to be the imaginary light? Still only shaded with copic markers. Pretty smooth.
6) Why stop there simple, let's add color!
Markers, colored pencils, gel pen. I should have stopped here, little did I know!
This was the beginning of the end: green and I are not best friends.
Markers, colored pencils, over Bristol Smooth paper. Shading done with copic markers and pencil. Man, this looks like a MONSTER AQUAFLEUR!
My self critique: I really don't like green that much and the brown spheres are not much to my liking. I really could have done better with the color palette. Oh well, it was fun anyway!

Koinonia's search for community: Can its vision be restored?
by Cary McMullen
Under a quartz-blue sky last October, a procession made its way from Habitat for Humanity's international headquarters in Americus, Georgia, to a modern gray one-story building a few blocks away. A sign identified the place as Habitat's Clarence Jordan Center, used for training and programs. The occasion was the 30th anniversary of Jordan's death, and with typical flamboyance, Habitat leader Millard Fuller chose the occasion to dedicate the center to his memory.
Cary McMullen
Cary McMullen covers religion for the Ledger in Lakeland, Florida.
Jordan was Fuller's mentor, and the driving force behind Koinonia, the Christian community established in the red-clay land of rural Georgia as a witness to peace and racial brotherhood in a land where both were as rare as snowflakes. It was at Koinonia that Fuller and his wife, Linda, learned from Jordan the ethics of Jesus and renounced the millions they had earned; there that Jordan translated most of the New Testament into the "Cotton Patch version"; there that thousands of people have stayed over the years for a few days or decades, to live simply and strive for Christian community; and there that the Habitat movement was born, as well as another community, Jubilee.
Mar 01, 2000 issue
Several hundred people crowded into the auditorium, including Jordan's children and grandchildren and other relatives. There were songs and a video about Jordan, and then Fuller made an emotional speech. He recalled Jordan's sharp wit, his unconventional way of reading the Bible and applying it to the world, and how the two of them would milk cows together, talking of Jesus. A plaque was unveiled, and other activities followed during the weekend, including tours of Koinonia.
Visitors to the "demonstration plot for the kingdom of God," as Jordan liked to call Koinonia, saw a neat, though aging, compound, surrounded by pecan groves and cotton fields and flanked by two small, unincorporated villages inhabited almost entirely by blacks, some of whom have lived there since the early days of Koinonia.
The placid appearance belies the turmoil that has ruled the community for more than seven years, although there is hope in some quarters that Koinonia may be returning to a measure of stability and to its former role as a symbol of prophetic Christianity.
Last May Koinonia's board of directors accepted the resignation of Debra Lilly as executive director. She had been at that post, including interim duties, about 18 months and was the third director in five years. Both her predecessors were dismissed by the board.
Farmland has been sold off to retire almost $1 million in debt. Koinonia's celebrated communalism has been abandoned for the past several years, though there is talk of reviving it. Its witness for racial harmony has waned, since few white people live or work there. Most former residents agree that it had lost its theological and conceptual force.
I first visited Koinonia in 1983 as the new son-in-law of two of its longtime resident partners, George and Louise ("Coffee") Worth. After retiring as Presbyterian missionaries in 1977 they were drawn to Koinonia, inspired by the community's original vision of working for racial harmony.
With my wife, Evelyn, and our children, I spent much time at Koinonia over the next 15 years. Between 1995 and 1997, we rented a house on Koinonia property. We watched as our friends who lived there departed one by one, and we witnessed the downward spiral that led Koinonia to the brink of dissolution and receivership.
I was sympathetic to the hopes and aims of young white families like ours. I still have sympathies for those hopes, but there are those who have other, very different hopes and aims for Koinonia, and in what follows I have tried to present those as well.
The board's new chairman, David Good, is hopeful about Koinonia's future. The board has a plan to turn it into a center for discipleship training and mission partnership. Good speaks of Koinonia as a global ministry. It sounds right, but is it recapturing Jordan's vision or abandoning it?
To be sure, Koinonia always struggled with what its ministry and vision should be, and more than once in the community's 57-year history it has been on the verge of collapse. In its early years it nearly came apart over internal squabbling; in the 1950s it was almost forced out of existence by violence and a boycott; in the 1960s weariness took its toll. In each crisis, somehow Koinonia was rejuvenated.
But in all that time there has been a persistent tug-of-war inside the community that has defied resolution. A recent book, Interracialism and Christian Community in the Postwar South: The Story of Koinonia Farm, by Tracy Elaine K'Meyer (University of Virginia Press, 1997), provides a fair analysis of the forces within and outside the community and is a good companion to Dallas Lee's fine narrative history, The Cotton Patch Evidence.
A serious flaw of K'Meyer's book is that it stops where Lee did, with the death of Jordan in 1969. But she clearly shows something that has been apparent to everyone who has spent any time there: that there were always two Koinonias, one black and one white. Despite the best intentions and sincere efforts of black and white people who lived and worked there, it was never possible to bring together both of the cherished aims of its founders —communal living in a racially integrated community.
According to K'Meyer, there was tension between these two aims from the first. Koinonia was always a refuge for white liberals. Clarence and Florence Jordan were themselves in many ways prototypical white southern liberals, part of a coterie of men and women who were determined in the years after World War II to bring the South into the 20th century. In later decades, dozens of young whites came to Koinonia from all parts of the country, drawn by its reputation for embodying Christian community.
Of course, the Jordans were motivated by Christian charity and a sense of mission rather than notions of progressivism, but in the end they and those who followed them suffered from liberalism's curse—they were resented by those they were trying to help.
As K'Meyer notes, "Koinonians failed to bring whites and blacks together as equals because they did not take into consideration differences in values and goals. They established a community guided by their own values and expected African-Americans to join it in order to bring about reconciliation."
At Koinonia, seeds of resentment were planted alongside those of brotherhood, and the two grew together.
The current troubles began about ten years ago. Florence Jordan died in 1987, the last surviving member of the original community. Volunteers still streamed to Koinonia. There were daily good-natured volleyball games on the main compound. Contributions from a 20,000-name mailing list continued to be received. The farming operation and a mail-order business brought income which was used to subsidize a child-care center, Koinonia's communal lifestyle and a few other efforts that leaned heavily to peace and justice issues—demonstrations against trains carrying nuclear weapons and against the death penalty, ministries to improve prison conditions. Like the Jordans and the other founders of Koinonia, the partners involved in these efforts were motivated by faith, but they were also clearly tilted to a white liberal agenda.
Racial equality, of course, was still of concern to Koinonians, and they supported secular civil rights efforts. And they assumed that their very existence, working and living alongside black people, was a witness to a region and a nation where racism lingered. But about the time of the community's 50th anniversary in 1992, that witness was challenged.
At that time, Koinonia consisted of about 15 to 20 "partners," full-time residents who lived in community from a common purse and made all decisions about the community's operation. All were white and virtually all came from elsewhere—from other parts of the South, the Midwest, even overseas. This was historically the case. Local blacks, who were living in involuntary poverty, were decidedly uninterested in the kind of voluntary simplicity that so appealed to privileged white liberals.
Koinonia employed about 30 people—almost all of them black—as workers on the farm's 1,500 acres, in its kitchen and in its mail-order business. On weekdays, employees, partners and guests all shared the noon meal together. Partners lived in the villages, side by side with employees and their families.
Relations between whites and blacks ranged from amicable to edgy—sometimes due to personalities, as in any organization. Here and there, genuine friendships developed. But roles were clearly defined, and the partners were in charge. Often young, inexperienced partners would supervise long-term employees. The result was a kind of cultural distance that wasn't bridged by physical proximity.
Don Moseley, a partner in the 1970s who later helped found the Jubilee community in north Georgia, recalls that the black employees considered the dining hall "white turf." Even spiritual community was a struggle to achieve. Sunday afternoon worship services, usually held in a shorts-and-T-shirt, sit-in-a-circle style, didn't attract black worshipers. (Once, when this was being lamented by some of the younger partners, longtime partner Ruth Field bluntly said, "Well, are you willing to start dressing up?" The answer was no.)
Since the partners ran the business, Koinonia had the appearance of just another organization in which blacks worked for whites. There were criticisms from visitors and finally a letter of complaint from the employees that said, in part, "We are here to stay, unlike partners who come and make major decisions that change and uproot our lives and then move on."
The partners, of course, were aware of the problem and sympathetic. With the board of directors, they arranged a series of workshops and held formal and informal conversations about some solutions. In the end, the board made a fundamental change in the organization that some blacks and many whites felt was rash. Essentially, Koinonia was turned from a community to a nonprofit organization. The common purse was abandoned. Everyone was put on salary, and white partners, with a few exceptions for the elderly, had to pay rent. Instead of decision by consensus, a management structure was established with a director. Everyone earning a salary was then considered a partner, and blacks assumed key management roles.
The change was made in March 1993, and there were problems almost from the start. Management positions were filled before they were defined. A local black Baptist pastor, Fer-Rell Malone, was tapped to become "operations manager," with white partner Gail Steiner as a sort of codirector. The differences in black and white operating styles were immediately apparent. The rough-hewn look of the buildings was due to the white philosophy of keeping things simple. Malone ordered that the office and dining hall get indoor-outdoor carpet, reasoning that Koinonia needed new funds and that appearances were therefore important.
In the dining hall, three pictures appeared on the wall: Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X. One can only imagine what Jordan would have thought of honoring non-Christians or people who accepted violence as an instrument of social change.
By October, Steiner was writing to the board that "fear and mistrust are common feelings." The following year she resigned and she and her family moved away. Many other disillusioned white partner/employees followed suit over the next few years.
John and Bonny Stitt were friends of ours who left. Bonny told me recently, "It lost all its specialness. I realized it had become just a job. I didn't come there for just a job; I came there for community."
The newsletter to Koinonia supporters lapsed, contributions lagged, debt mounted. In October 1994, the board fired Malone. Later, he would tell the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the board lacked faith: "They were not ready to follow African-American leadership."
Moseley sees it differently: "He hoped by spending a lot of money, something big would happen. He'd rent expensive vehicles and let them sit for a week."
Moseley said he and the board conducted a nationwide search for an experienced black administrator, but couldn't find anyone interested in the job. Finally, Betty Jean Jones, a black Koinonia employee for more than 15 years and interim director after Malone left, got the post.
Koinonia continued to struggle. Jones had some ideas but few resources. There was internal bickering on the staff. By 1998 all the white partners from five years earlier were gone, including my mother-in-law. George had died in 1996 and Coffee, heartsick over the dissension and loss of friends and community, moved to the Jubilee community.
In late 1997 the board summarily dismissed Jones and replaced her with Debra Lilly, a former assistant director. Within months, the board was down to two members. Lilly terms it "a vanity board," and says they sent her a letter giving her a free hand to run Koinonia. In her version of events, she inherited a desperate situation. The mail-order season was past, there would be no income from crops for months, and bills were six months in arrears. Although she claims to have reduced Koinonia's debt by several hundred thousand dollars in five months, she admits that even she did not know how deeply in debt Koinonia was.
For more than a year, Lilly was virtually unsupervised. She eventually assumed the jobs of bookkeeper and farm manager in addition to being director. "It was a game of survival. No one knows how hard it was but me," she said.
Lilly reached out to Habitat for advice and financial help and recruited some new board members. In January 1999, David Good, pastor of First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, Connecticut, joined the board of directors. Good said he was appalled by what he found: no budget or financial reports and no questions by the board.
Good and Millard Fuller raised $120,000 in pledges, but Good insisted that the books be examined and sent a volunteer from his church to take a look. After a few months, the volunteer reported that Koinonia was $750,000 in debt and had outstanding bills of $100,000.
Good said that he was prepared at the May 1999 board meeting to recommend that Lilly be fired. She resigned before the board acted, citing an atmosphere of blame and attempts to control the staff. Former board chairman Jim Tyree gives Lilly credit for starting to turn Koinonia around, but said she was unwilling to share authority with the board and that her resignation was "for the best." Of Lilly's tenure, Good said, "There was misappropriation of funds and mismanagement." Lilly's reply: "I feel like I'm taking the blame for something that was already there, and that's an injustice."
The board decided not to seek a replacement for the director. A management "team" is in place, and all checks must be signed by a board member.
Now the question is whether there is work for Koinonia to do. Good said the board has made two major decisions about Koinonia's future. First, about half the farmland has been sold and the farming operation downsized. This has reduced Koinonia's debt from about $850,000 to $120,000. Farming will remain a part of Koinonia's volunteer program, but it will no longer be the primary source of income.
The second decision, pending final approval, is to create the Clarence Jordan Center for the Advancement of Christian Discipleship. The board has plans to apply for a grant from the Lilly Foundation to get the center started.
Good said he envisions the discipleship center as a place where there would be seminars on Jordan's theology; discussions about "a new, nonpaternalistic paradigm of missions"; conferences at which black and white churches could be brought together to forge partnerships; and "experiential education" for volunteers as Koinonia has traditionally practiced it, learning by serving with manual labor.
According to Tyree, the center would return Koinonia to one of the concerns Jordan had just before he died, that of spiritual development. "What has been missing is a spiritual vitality. We want to go back to basics," he said. Fuller, who has stayed "at arm's length" from Koinonia for years, said he is hopeful about its future.
So it appears that, thanks in large measure to Good and his congregation, Koinonia will once more become a place where ministry in the white liberal style will be carried on, and the pendulum will swing back toward community. Perhaps that is fitting, in a way. In doing so, it may be returning to the vision of Koinonia's founders and may once more draw white support, but it is unclear whether the black people who work at Koinonia and live nearby will embrace that vision.
Mildred Burton, a longtime Koinonia employee who recently resigned, told me there is concern that blacks will be blamed for the difficulties of the past few years. And in words echoing those of the employees' letter several years ago, she says of the decision to sell the farmland, "Locally, nobody was asked. We have complete strangers coming in making decisions."
I asked Tyree about the danger of once more alienating the black employees and those in the villages. He said in effect that Koinonia is no longer simply a local ministry but part of a legacy that has a wider scope. "The fact that there were no black partners was not the real issue. The people who do come—we'll make sure they're thoroughly grounded in the ideas of Koinonia, of reconciliation and empowerment. Whether they're all white, we'll leave that to the Lord."
Good spoke of the "globalization of Koinonia," and said that except for Koinonia's day-care center, the villages had "very little connection" with it anymore. "This ghettoization has to change. Koinonia needs to be integrated with the rural community, with America and the wider world," he said. In its new manifestation, Koinonia could become more successful and renowned than it ever has been, in the fashion of Habitat for Humanity. But Koinonia's struggles signal the profound difficulties of bridging racial, cultural and regional differences. If Koinonia once more becomes a white retreat center—a global one this time—the irony will come full circle.
Betty Jean Jones told me, "Koinonia has always focused on the needs in Sumter County. It would be self-defeating if things in their own neighborhood aren't right."
Fuller's interpretation of Clarence Jordan's vision is that differences are bridged simply by working side by side in the name of Christ on the worthy goal of alleviating inadequate housing. It's impossible to question the success of Jordan's legacy at Habitat. But Koinonia has always aspired to the goal of a deeper brotherhood, a closer communion between black and white. Though failing to achieve it, Koinonia has provided inspiration and hope to thousands in the attempt. If the new Koinonia can manage even that much, then perhaps Jordan's legacy will reach yet another generation.

Volatility in Construction Materials Costs Strains Developers
Apartment developers continue to be stressed by the unpredictable cost of construction materials.
Overall, materials prices keep rising faster than inflation. But what's worse is that prices for individual construction materials are unpredictable from month to month. The price of lumber and diesel fuel has fallen sharply, for now. But new policies from the U.S. government continue to jolt the markets, from possible sanctions on oil producing countries like Venezuela to government tariffs on imported steel.
Developers and contractors are struggling to adapt. "It's likely that contractors will try to protect themselves from unexpected price jumps by putting contingencies into their bids or asking owners to share price risks," says Ken Simonson, chief economist for the Associated General Contractors of America.
"The outlook remains uncertain, with oil prices and tariffs especially in flux," he adds.
At press time, there was still a risk that President Donald Trump would increase tariffs on thousands of Chinese goods to 25 percent from the current 10 percent, according to Simonson. Or the U.S. might continue to defer the increase or even roll back the current tariffs on other Chinese goods. The outlook on other tariffs was also uncertain.
"President Trump could unilaterally change the 25 percent tariff on steel and the 10 percent tariff on aluminum in either direction at any time," says Simonson.
Changing U.S. policy is making it difficult for developers to plan. The most significant problem that housing developers of all kinds faced in 2018 was "building materials prices" according to a survey from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The vast majority of developers (87 percent) said the cost of materials was a significant problem for them in 2018 and 69 percent anticipate more trouble from material costs in 2019.
Construction materials prices rose 3.3 percent from January 2018 to January 2019, according to the producer price index (PPI) for inputs for multifamily residential construction, tracked by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That's more than twice the increase for the consumer price index (1.6 percent) over the same period.
However, price hikes for construction materials have slowed overall since the summer of 2018. The PPI had increased 8 percent over the 12 months that ended in June 2018.
Lumber costs lower
For now, developers don't have to pay nearly as much for lumber as they paid in the summer of 2018. But prices are unlikely to stay low for long.
"The trade trouble with Canadian lumber is not resolved and will result in higher prices than would otherwise persist sans tariffs," says David Logan, director of tax and trade policy for the NAHB. "The uncertainty in the market will contribute to price volatility as well."
The price of softwood lumber dropped to $327 per thousand board feet on January 4, 2019. That's down from $582 at its peak in May 2018, according to BLS data gathered by NAHB. The prices in January were roughly where lumber prices had been before in 2017 and 2018, before the U.S. Dept. of Commerce imposed a group of duties that added about 20 percent to the cost of Canadian lumber.
A combination of factors drove lumber prices down, including a weaker housing market compared to the first half of 2018, volatility driven by the Canadian lumber tariffs and oversupply that had built up during the run-up in prices, according to NAHB.
Fuel prices ease
Developers also got a big break on the cost of fuel this winter, though fuel prices may rise again as the U.S. considers new sanctions on Venezuela.
The price of diesel fuel dropped by 13 percent in January 2019 compared to the period a year earlier, according to the BLS. That has made a big difference in how much it costs to deliver materials. Lower prices for diesel fuel might not last, however. The price has been volatile over the last few years.
"The price of diesel fuel rose 18 percent between January and November in 2018, increasing freight and shipping costs, which increased building materials prices, all else held equal," says NAHB's Logan.
Steel prices spike upwards
At the same time, the price of steel is rising very quickly. That's largely because of a 25 percent tariff that President Trump's Administration imposed on most imported steel in 2018.
The PPI for steel mill products jumped 19 percent from January 2018 to January 2019. That's compared to a much more moderate increase of 5 percent the year before.
The high price of steel is expected to push the prices of many other construction materials higher. Prices for all types of appliances, lighting fixtures, sinks, bathtubs and toilets are expected to rise, according to an analysis by NAHB.
Developers are struggling to protect themselves from rising costs. "Due to concerns about the cost of steel rising, which were in part due to the trade war with China, my client wanted to buy all of the steel for the project prior to commencing construction," says Steve Lurie, partner with LA-based Greenberg Glusker, a law firm based in Los Angeles whose clients include several developers.

Q: Angular ngModelOptions or setting variable to ngModel I have this piece of code:
<div *ngFor="let attrKey of attributeArr">
  <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="attrKey">
</div>

I want to pass variable to ngModel. Is there anything like ngModelOptions or additional options to let this happen?

A: If you use let arrtKey of attributeArr means two things

*

*attributeArr is an array

*in [(ngModel)]="attrKey" you change an element of array (and the
array is an array of strings)

If you want iterate over the keys of an object, you can use keyvalue pipe to mannage objects or create an auxiliar variable with the keys
Using keyvalue, we need be carefull, some like
<!--DONT WORK-->
<div *ngFor="let item of myobject | keyvalue">
  <input [(ngModel)]=myobject[item.key]>
</div>

Because each change Angular try repaint the loop -so you loose the focus-. For avoid it, you need use trackBy (or iterate over another auxiliar variable). Using trackBy
<div *ngFor="let item of myobject | keyvalue; trackBy: trackByFn">
  <input [(ngModel)]="myobject[item.key]">
</div>

//and in .ts you write
trackByFn=(_,item)=>item.key

The other option is defined in your .ts
keys=Object.kets(this.myObject)

And use
<div *ngFor="let item of keys">
  <input [(ngModel)]="myobject[item]">
</div>

Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2013
Athlon Sports
It's not easy getting college football coaches to honestly comment on another coach, player or team. Most coaches don't want to give opposing teams billboard material, which is why there is a lot of coach speak or overused cliches used during the year. In order to get an accurate assessment of teams heading into 2013, Athlon asked coaches in the Big Ten to talk anonymously about their opponents.
Note: These scouting reports come directly from coaching staffs and do not necessarily reflect the views of Athlon's editorial staff.
Big Ten Coaches Anonymously Scout Their Conference Foes for 2013
Opposing coaches size up the Fighting Illini:
"I don't think Ron Zook left the cupboard bare there. Tim Beckman had some players to work with. They just need some time to understand what it takes to win." …
"It's obviously a big year for Tim. Look for them to try to establish a toughness all the way around, because they didn't really have anything to hang their hat on offensively or defensively. They struggled in a lot of areas." …
"These kids are going through another offense. Football is still football, but they have four quarterbacks, and those guys have had to learn several different offenses over the last few years. There's only so much you can install during the spring when you have a new offense like that." …
"They have some talent. To sit here and say (4-star quarterback recruit Aaron) Bailey can come in and start, there's no book written on that. There are so many variables." …
"At the running back position, they are focused on being a more downhill, north-south running team — get yourself a 4-yard gain, don't worry so much about an 8-yard gain."
Opposing coaches size up the Hoosiers:
"Although they showed flashes, they didn't have the running game to help the quarterback all the time. The head coach (Kevin Wilson) is an offensive line guy and tough guy. I think they started to show that they were like their coaches. That's probably a compliment to Kevin."
"I know they threw the ball fairly well at times and tried to make the run game as simple as they could because of the young offensive linemen." …
"They played well against Ohio State and hung with those guys through four quarters. Then they lost to Navy the next week. That shows they have a long way to go to be consistent. It's hard to play Division I football with young, inexperienced players." …
"Defensively up front they tried to be more firm, more attacking, get linemen to hold the point of attack. They got a few junior college linebackers with some guys that played last year." …
On special teams, they had a good kicker and good punter. And those guys got down and tackled you. You could at least see the effort on the film."
Opposing coaches size up the Hawkeyes:
"My take on them, they surprised me in that they were pretty physical defensively. I thought those guys did a nice job against us defensively. They were good tacklers." …
"Offensively, they are similar to Wisconsin and Michigan State — run the football and play-action pass. They don't have a tremendous amount of scheme throwing the football. But they are big and well-coached up front. They need a big back who can pound it up in there. They aren't going to do zone reads and option at quarterback. That's kind of who they are. When those quarterbacks play well, these sort of teams play well." …
"Iowa is always consistent running the ball. When they can throw it, which isn't every year, it's hard to defend them. Over the last five years or so, they've had some off-field issues that might have hurt them in recruiting." …
"They still played hard. They are not an easy game. You never go in saying, 'Thank goodness we've got Iowa.' They are a good team. They can beat you."
Opposing coaches size up the Wolverines:
"They are a physical group. I don't know that they are as athletic as Ohio State is, but they are close." …
"They have a great package defensively. Their third down package — (defensive coordinator) Greg Mattison gives the illusion of pressure every time. You never know when they are really coming or not coming. It's the different stuff that he does." …
"Their offensive line is very good, much like Ohio State and Wisconsin. Very physical up front, great defensive scheme. For two years, they were confusing us a little bit." …
"They have good skill players at the wide receiver positions — guys that can get downfield in a hurry." …
"They became a more balanced offense with Devin Gardner, but I don't know if they have the same threat that they had with Denard (Robinson). Gardner runs well, but he wasn't as big of a threat. They threw the ball well with him. So maybe he'll provide more stability."
"You can tell this is a Brady Hoke team by the way they play up front offensively. They'll move a pile."
Opposing coaches size up the Spartans:
"Defensively, they are one of the most physical teams. (Coordinator) Pat Narduzzi does a good job with them. They are physical and big."
"Those two corners were really good. Those guys can cover. They'll get Darqueze Dennard back, and he will be one of the best corners in the league, but they lost the other guy (Johnny Adams) and will need a young player to step up there. They've had a good run of safeties. They are a good team defensively, just really well coached and they play hard." …
"Offensively, as the nation saw, they struggled at times. They are kind of a Wisconsin offense. They want to run the football. They were probably not as good as Wisconsin up front, so that played into the struggles a bit." …
"They have good tight ends usually." …
"There were some games where (quarterback) Andrew Maxwell would make some mistakes and it really hurt them. They struggled because of it. When he was on, he was pretty good because Le'Veon Bell could run it. But they will really miss Bell. He was so consistent for them."
Opposing coaches size up the Golden Gophers:
"They are an athletic team — quick and fast, especially on defense. I thought they had a good secondary and a good pass rush, with at least two guys who were pretty good up front." …
"I think they will be a good football team this year, I really do. Jerry Kill does a good job with them. They are recruiting well, maybe not getting the 5-star guys, but getting the right kind of kids up there that can fit the system. They play hard. Kill is well-respected in the league. He does a really good job." …
"I think talent can be a problem there. But they've done a nice job of identifying those guys and getting the right pieces — a good mixture of tough-minded kids with some skill players sprinkled in from Texas and Florida. They've had some success with those kinds of players." …
"These guys can rush the passer and cover and do some good things." …
"They've got to find a way to move the ball more consistently, but that should come with another year in the system. They aren't going to top the league, but they have a chance."
Opposing coaches size up the Cornhuskers:
"Bo Pelini likes a rough-and-tough style of football. He's always been himself, a very gritty football player and a damn gritty coach." …
"I forgot all about Taylor Martinez being a senior. He's been around forever." …
"They are run first and run second, and will think about running third. The play-action pass is the big hit for them. You have to stop the run and be aware of the play-action pass. Martinez has made some big plays in the passing game." …
"They had those difficult losses, but they came back and had a nice road win against Northwestern and at Michigan State. They beat Michigan at home. Smoked Michigan, actually. The losses to Ohio State and Wisconsin, both were hard-fought games." …
"Nebraska is Nebraska — with people wearing those stupid hats. It will be fun and exciting. It's a gritty football team." …
"They got smoked in a few of those games trying to stop the run. Like any good defense, it starts with the guys up front. And they have a lot of young guys there." …
"A lot of jobs will be up for grabs on that defense."
Opposing coaches size up the Wildcats:
"They have some good receivers. They know what they want to do on offense. Their line functions well together. The combination of (Kain) Colter and (Trevor) Siemian at quarterback is unique. They are both good. And I like how they use them. It makes you prepare for both guys, which is hard to do. It's two different gameplans. I know they have used them both in the game at the same time. Colter can be a weapon as a slot receiver who can make some plays." …
"I don't know if you can underestimate how good and how fast Venric Marc is. He was great last year." …
"I don't think there's any area that sticks out that makes you say, 'Wow!' one way or the other, good or bad, but they are becoming better athletically with their recruiting. They were always well-coached but didn't always have the talent. They know how to get the best out of their talent." …
"They do a great job up front. They are very smart guys that pick things up well. … They don't have an imposing offensive line, but they play to the scheme well."
Opposing coaches size up the Buckeyes:
"Just a really athletic team, another well-coached team on both sides of the ball. Keeping Luke Fickell in there as the defensive coordinator was a good move. This helped them in Year 1 under Urban Meyer." …
"They've gotten more athletic and faster than from a few years ago. Just a really good team across the board." …
"They grew into a powerful offense. There was a learning curve for those guys, but Braxton Miller has developed into one of the best players in the country. He did everything for them. His decision-making has really improved." …
"I thought the secondary was okay. They pretty much played the chains on third down. They sat on some routes. That's where you could get some things off them offensively. You probably could go after them a little bit more with the deep ball because of the way they played. I'm not sure if they'll tweak that this year, but they gave up some yards by playing that way. But overall, they were a very sound defensive football team."
Opposing coaches size up the Nittany Lions:
"Penn State, to me, was the surprise team. Not so much because of the record, but they just played really hard. Defensively, I thought they were as good as anybody we played." …
"They were very physical, and bigger than I thought they would be. Obviously their strength was their front seven. They were a team where when we played them, they did a lot of things defensively. You could see a lot of NFL schemes that were in there. Maybe that's because of (Bill) O'Brien, an NFL guy." …
"They were running a new offense, but that quarterback did a great job running it. They got a lot out of what guys they had. Their tailback (Zach Zwinak) wasn't all-conference talent, but they got everything out of him. He was big, and he ran so hard." …
"The loss of scholarships will wear on them down the road. It's not the (quality) of the guys that they are signing, but it's the wear and tear, lack of depth — five scholarships here, five there. Next thing you know, you're missing 15 guys. Injuries, things like that happen."
Opposing coaches size up the Boilermakers:
"I look at Darrell Hazell and that staff — they've hired some damn good coaches. They have two really good coordinators in Greg Hudson on defense and John Shoop on offense. I respect both of those guys." …
"I don't think this team is that far away. The games that were close, they just didn't make that many plays. They played lousy against Minnesota. They went to Minnesota like they didn't care. That might be the reason why Danny Hope got fired. But give the kids credit, after a disappointing loss, they responded with some victories." …
"They aren't really scary in any area. They had a really good defensive line returning but didn't play as well as they could have. A few of those players are gone. They probably underachieved there. That kind of explains the season they had." …
"I don't know who their quarterback will be. That can solve a lot of problems if they can get the right guy there. Running back Akeem Hunt is a player and should help the young guy, whoever it is."
Opposing coaches size up the Badgers:
"It will be interesting to see what happens with the new staff. I haven't heard much. I've heard maybe a 3-4 defense. I know Gary (Andersen) did some spread zone-read option stuff at Utah State, which is definitely different than what (Wisconsin) has been." …
"Their linebackers are still great. Chris Borland is one of most underrated players in the country. He runs around. He's fast. He's smart. He's instinctual. He's got everything you want. I think they lose some depth there, but they'll still be good." …
"I thought defensive end David Gilbert really came on. He's a guy they'll miss." …
"They've always been good up front." …
"The quarterback (Joel Stave) is very solid, doesn't make a lot of mistakes, not any more than anybody else. I don't know if they have a great passing attack with play-action. If you can slow down the running game, force them to throw, they can struggle. Regardless of which offense they run, they'll need the quarterback to make timely throws in key third down situations."

Prepare hot coals. Season ducklings with salt and pepper. Fill cavities with a mixture of onions, celery and apple. Clip off wing tips of ducklings. Run spit through birds lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Cook on a rotisserie until tender – about 2 hours. Brush with a mixture of sherry, soy sauce, ginger and lemon juice during the last half hour of cooking.
This sounds tasty. Time to pull out the old rotisserie grill!

Technology is changing so quickly that skills could be outdated before college courses are complete, underscoring the need for 'learning while earning', writes David Coyne of the Centre for Work-based Learning.
With technology changing rapidly and the economy undergoing rapid transformation due to the fourth industrial revolution, having a skilled workforce – with relevant and up-to-date expertise – is more important now than ever before.
Just as the 18th century Industrial Revolution saw the face of Scotland change as people moved from working the land in rural areas to factories in fast-growing urban centres, so this 21st century revolution is impacting the whole make-up of the economy and therefore the type of skills required.
As technology makes the world increasingly globalised, employers are becoming more sophisticated about the type of people they are looking for to fill roles to build and maintain a competitive advantage. And Scotland as a country has to have an advantage on the world stage to continue to grow and prosper.
People of all ages are now expected to be ready to gain new skills and be flexible in their approach to work and the jobs they do. Effective and relevant education and continuous on-the-job 'learning while earning' are therefore vital.
Because of the fast-paced world in which we all live, there is a danger that what we learn while at school, college or university, will be superseded by technology before courses are even complete.
It doesn't seem that long ago that companies had switchboard operators and typing pools – functions that are now obsolete largely due to technological innovation. Many other 'traditional' roles will vanish in the years to come and this change is happening at an unprecedented speed.
These are challenges we must face up to now, not issues that can be dismissed as concerns to be dealt with further down the line. That's why educators and employers must work together, along with policy makers, to ensure future generations have skills fit for the modern world – and the ability to quickly adapt to change in the workplace as required.
We at the Centre for Work-based Learning – the national organisation committed to driving the cultural change needed to create a larger demand for such learning, including apprenticeships, in Scotland – must lead the way in encouraging collaboration between teachers and businesses.
Meeting current and future challenges through collaboration was one of the main points of discussion at our fifth annual symposium, with the theme A Human Future. This brought together a host of international speakers, including employers, academics and educational institutions from a variety of industries.
The symposium addressed the fact that Scotland, and the UK as a whole, is already suffering from a skills gap with more vacancies being left unfilled because there aren't enough people with the right qualities for the positions on offer. The Open University's 2018 Business Barometer estimated the direct cost of skills shortages to the UK economy to be £6.3 billion a year, and whilst we have made huge impacts on the levels of youth unemployment since the end of the recession, there are still young people struggling to get a start to a career.
It's not just changing technology that is leading to skills challenges, there are other contributors too, such as Brexit. Some significant industries in Scotland, for example, hospitality, are already seeing a drop in the number of people from overseas applying for jobs.
They are therefore struggling to recruit for some positions and this situation has emerged even before we know the exact outcome of Brexit.
While the future cannot be predicted, and we must live with uncertainty, we need to strive to give people the skills that are in demand from business. We need to encourage policy makers, educators, employers and politicians to work together to ensure students are being taught how to apply problem solving skills in real-life situations. Students themselves must be involved in the design, creation and development of training. And greater emphasis needs to be placed on providing situations and environments where skills can be practiced and improved outside the classroom.
It was agreed at the symposium that for collaboration to be successful, more investment is needed in meta skills – general and reusable skills that can be applied broadly to a wide set of problems or used to acquire more specific skills – to develop critical and creative thinking.
Such meta skills and what we call 'adaptive resilience' can be developed through work-based learning to build the knowledge required to try to pre-empt change, rather than wait for it to happen.
This need for flexibility and resilience that can be developed through successful collaboration ties into another big theme that emerged from the symposium around change and adaptation – something that work-based learning can also encourage.
Work-based learning, delivered through apprenticeships, can help businesses manage change and be ready to react to shifts in the economy by ensuring their employees are receiving relevant and timely on-the-job training.
Businesses should be looking for a split between formal education, on-the-job experience and social learning that is tailored to meet the requirements of individual employees and the future needs of the company.
For example, it has been realised that skills developed in the oil and gas industry are transferable to Scotland's growing renewable energy sector and a lot of work by the government and the private sector has gone into making this happen.
What we should avoid thinking is that there is some sort of 'quick fix' to solving the problem of the skills gap. We need to all work together to ensure that academia and business are on the same page when it comes to priorities for educating and training the current workforce, as well as people who will be called on to fill vital positions in the future.
Only by collaborating can we ensure we are ready to change and be in a position to adopt new skills to ensure Scotland remains a competitive nation, with a strong economy, for generations to come.
