Inciting Event: Harry receives his invitation to Hogwarts School—which his horrible uncle promptly takes away from him. This event occurs a bit early in the First Act, but it's clearly Harry's first brush with the conflict (the Call to Adventure), which is promptly rejected for him by his aunt and uncle.
Hagrid's subsequent arrival to escort forcibly (as far as the aunt and uncle are concerned) Harry to Hogwarts is the turning point in the First Act, which is usually the Inciting Event, but in this instance, is actually the Key Event, in which Harry steps out of his Normal World.
First Plot Point: Harry and the other students—including Ron and Hermione—arrive at Hogwarts. This closes the door opened by the Key Event: this is where Harry steps into the adventure world of the Second Act.
First Pinch Point: A dangerous troll invades the school's dungeons, and Harry and Ron bravely face it in order to rescue Hermione. Harry believes the troll was let in by the suspicious Professor Snape, whose subsequent injury Harry believes was received when Snape tried to get past the three-headed dog Fluffy to gain whatever it's guarding.
Although the specifics of Harry's conclusions are entirely wrong, this is an ample emphasis of the antagonistic force's power and intent within the conflict. The presence of the troll makes it a nicely "big" scene that easily turns the plot.
Midpoint: During the Quidditch match, Harry's new Nimbus 2000 broom goes haywire. Hermione sees Snape casting a spell and, believing he's jinxing Harry. She lights his cloak on fire with her wand. This delightfully big set-piece scene easily fulfills Sam Peckinpah's suggestion that the Midpoint be the story's "centerpiece."
The revelation at the heart of the scene is, again, entirely wrong in its specifics. But it reinforces to the children that something is very off at Hogwarts and that someone is out to kill Harry if he keeps interfering.
Second Pinch Point: While sneaking into the restricted section of the library in an attempt to find out more about what Fluffy is hiding, Harry (wearing an invisibility cloak) witnesses Snape threatening another teacher—Professor Quirrell. Snape nearly catches Harry, further emphasizing what is at stake for Harry.
Third Plot Point: While serving detention with Hagrid in the Dark Woods, Harry encounters the evil Voldemort—who killed Harry's parents and left Harry himself scarred. Voldemort has killed a unicorn and is drinking its blood. He very nearly kills Harry himself, before a centaur intervenes.
The force of this plot point is more emotional than anything—Harry's life is at stake and he is affected by his first encounter with Him We Do Not Speak Of. But this isn't a particular big or weighty plot point, and it doesn't force Harry to a noticeable low point.
Climax: Believing Snape has found a way past Fluffy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione rush to stop him from taking the life-giving Philosopher's Stone—which they believe he intends to give to Voldemort. They are stymied by a life-size game of lethal wizard's chess, in which Ron sacrifices himself, so Harry can continue on to the final confrontation. The villain who is hosting Voldemort's remains turns out to be Quirrell, not Snape.
Climactic Moment: Harry kills Quirrell, and Voldemort's spirit flees.
Resolution: House Gryffindor, to which Harry and his friends belong, are rewarded the coveted House Cup, as the result of their actions. They all leave Hogwarts for the summer holidays.

Belgian Police Crack Encrypted Chat App to Seize $1.65 Billion Worth of Cocaine
Police specialists in Belgium managed to crack an encrypted messaging service, revealing detailed information about cocaine shipments into Antwerp, Belgium.
Belgian police issued a statement this week saying they seized several shipments of cocaine with a street value of 1.4 billion euros ($1.65 billion) after cracking the encryption algorithm of Sky ECC, a supplier of modified phones designed for ultra-private communications.
Since Feb. 20, police systematically seized a total of 27.64 tons of cocaine at the port of Antwerp, including a record shipment of almost 11 tons overnight from 2-3 April, according to the statement, obtained by CNN.
"During a judicial investigation into a potential service criminal organization suspected of knowingly providing encrypted telephones to the criminal environment, police specialists managed to crack the encrypted messages from Sky ECC," reads the statement.
"This data provides elements in current files, but also opened up new criminal offenses. The international smuggling of cocaine batches plays a prominent role in intercepted reports."
The FBI recently seized Sky ECC's website over alleged collusion with international crime rings. The company sold modified Nokia, Google, Apple and BlackBerry handsets stripped of their GPS capabilities, cameras and microphones, and preinstalled with the Sky ECC app, which leveraged elliptic-curve cryptography to secure communications between customers. One of its key features was 'self-destruction' of messages after a user-defined expiration period. It also enabled users to enter a 'panic' password to instantly wipe the device clean of its contents.
On March 12, 2021, US Department of Justice issued an indictment against Sky Global's CEO, Jean-Francois Eap, and a former distributor, Thomas Herdman. The indictment states that the Sky Global's devices are "specifically designed to prevent law enforcement from actively monitoring the communications between members of transnational criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. As part of its services, Sky Global guarantees that messages stored on its devices can and will be remotely deleted by the company if the device is seized by law enforcement or otherwise compromised."
The police report doesn't say how Belgian experts managed to break the elliptic-curve encryption algorithm employed by Sky ECC. However, it is known that when ECC is used in virtual machines, an attacker can use an invalid curve to get a complete PDH private key. And in the hypothetical realm, Shor's algorithm can be used to break elliptic curve cryptography by computing discrete logarithms on a quantum computer, according to Wikipedia.

'Comics Will Become A Lasting Aspect Of My Output' – Chuck Palahniuk Talks Fight Club 2, Plus Preview
by Hannah Means Shannon
This week on Wednesday, May 27th, the first issue of Fight Club 2 arrives from Dark Horse. The anticipation for this project began last San Diego Comic Con, or arguably, it began the moment author Chuck Palahniuk published the novel Fight Club in 1996.For devotees, a sequel is almost beyond their joy threshold, but for comic readers who are also fans, we hit the jackpot. We've a really in-depth interview on the site with artist on the series Cameron Stewart, and we have a special feature interview with David Mack on the process art and his covers for the series in the upcoming SDCC issue of Bleeding Cool Magazine #17 out in late June, but today we complete the triad by talking with Chuck Palahniuk himself. Needless to say, it is a very great honor to have him here on Bleeding Cool.
[Chip Zdarsky (Books-A-Million variant)]
What readers should keep in mind about Fight Club 2 is that it picks up from the novel's original ending rather than from the ending of the David Fincher film, though fans of the film will certainly find plenty to engage them in the comic. The "bridge" between the novel's ending and this series can be found in Dark Horse's Free Comic Book Day offering. We meet the "narrator" of Fight Club named as Sebastian, 8 years on from the events of the novel, married to Marla, and living with their young son. The premise of the beginning of the series is that Marla misses Tyler Durden's influence and verve in her life and seems bent on opening a definitive can of worms that could have explosive consequences.
Chuck Palahniuk chose to write the Fight Club sequel in the comics medium specifically, and spent a great deal of time studying the medium to learn its modes of expression. He joins us today to talk about Fight Club's new incarnation, some of the ideas behind the sequel, and his experiences in the comics medium.
[Tim Seeley (Chicago Comics variant)]
Hannah Means-Shannon: Why do you think people read stories in prose or comics format particularly, and especially stories featuring shocking or outrageous characters or events?
Chuck Palahniuk: For me the experience is all about the pacing. Comics aren't burdened by the verbose tonnage of words novels use to bridge between important plot points. That's always been my gripe about long-form fiction, and the flaw might date from the time when writers were paid by the word. In response I've always experimented with non-fiction forms which would allow me to jump or cut directly from one important detail to the next. Using choruses, for instance the 'rules' in Fight Club, I could create a non-linear montage of mini-scenes that didn't confuse the reader. Getting back to comics, they already have the filmic panels which move the reader along with minimal effort. It's maximum payoff for the reader's effort.
HMS: When you create characters, do you develop them to a degree that they are "real" to the extent that all the small details of personality and behavior exist for you? And if so, is Fight Club 2 essentially about the very same Tyler Durden and Marla, and Narrator, but just appearing in a new format? Or do you feel the format itself changes them?
CP: Critics of the original 'Fight Club' novel claimed the characters were flat and two-dimensional. In other words, "cartoonish." A complaint also lodged against Cameron Stewart's style. I embrace such judgments. We live in an era mired in "dirty realism" or "K-Mart realism" and while I enjoy the stories of Raymond Carver and Tobias Wolff and Joyce Carol Oates, I do not want to write them. So-called "cartoonish" characters can also be read as mythic. Odin, Coyote, Raven, Zeus, The Bible, they're all unrealistic, but they depict human behaviors in an epic, more-engaging way. I'd rather err on the operatic side of Ayn Rand and create a compelling story that doesn't seem dated a year after publication.
[David Mack Variant Cover]
HMS: Was the idea, initially, that you felt you wanted to work in the comics medium, and so eventually settled on doing a sequel to Fight Club, or that you wanted to do a sequel, but weren't sure of the medium until you settled on comics? Or another approach entirely?
CP: The thriller writer Chelsea Cain played midwife to this project. She invited me to dinner with Matt Fraction and Brian Bendis, and from the moment the discussion began, it focused on depicting 'Fight Club' in comic form. The medium and the subject were linked from conception.
HMS: What does it bring to your life creatively to face and address the challenge of thinking in a new medium? Does it have value to you that failure is possible?
CP: The concept of 'failure' doesn't exist for me. Nothing is a total loss until I choose to give it up, and I'm one of those people who love to recite the long litany of disasters and rejections that characterized Lincoln's life before he was elected President. A new medium, for me, is a chance to be a student, again, and to be the dumbest person in a room filled with experts. That person, me, has the most to gain. What I learn here will influence all my future writing projects.
HMS: In an interview with Scott Allie where we were talking about the early days of Fight Club 2 as a project he mentioned going in Dark Horse's comic shop with you and going through many comics and talking about them. He suggested that you read very widely to get a sense of different possibilities in comics. Do any particular books you came across then stand out in your mind as surprising or impressive?
CP: Let's say I'm widely "scanned" in modern comics. I've wanted to study what effects the artist, letterer and colorist could create. While I'm writing I avoid reading fiction for fear of unconsciously mimicking what I've read. The last comics I read avidly were the old EC horror comics and Classics Illustrated. Both of those comics come to bear on FC2. It's Hamlet with staggering graveyard monsters.
[Amanda Conner (Tate's Comics variant)]
HMS: Though you initially wrote the whole comic series ahead, I believe, Cameron Stewart recently suggested in our interview that you were now making changes to that script based on how the comic was shaping up and feeling, and how the two of you were communicating. Could you share anything with us about how your view of the comic has evolved?
CP: Cameron has also said he fears going to Hell for some of the things I've asked him to draw. As my confidence builds I've been going back and adding more-challenging, dynamic sequences and pruning any static, dialog-heavy bits. The zero issue on Free Comic Book Day and the first official issue have gotten such a good reception that I'm excited about making the subsequent issues as plot-heavy, shock-heavy and action-dense as possible. The first issue, to me, was slow because it had to reintroduce updated characters and new-but-suburban settings. The remaining issues will take Cameron and all his readers through more-and-better Hell.
HMS: What do you think it takes in comics to get through to readers on an emotional level? What gets through to you as a reader?
CP: The comic has to lead the reader to a surprise or epiphany, but not state it overtly. The story must allow the reader to make the final connection. Nonverbal gestures or images do this best. Revealing anything through dialog is lazy and a waste of a good set-up. That's why the short stories of Amy Hempel work so beautifully. They might look like a laundry list of details because she refuses to dictate the relationship between those details; however, they all accumulate in the reader's mind, eventually crystallizing to create a private emotional breakdown.
HMS: Do you think it's easier to be funny in comics than prose because you can "show" contrasts? How important is humor in Fight Club 2?
CP: The best humor always looks like an accident. If a gag is too obvious, it's shtick. That's why I love the "inappropriate social response." For example, in 'Fight Club' when the characters look down on a bloody face-print on a concrete floor, a scene lovingly described, instead of reacting in horror, one man says "Cool." The unexpected response breaks the tension and elicits a laugh. I'd argue that humor is more difficult in comics because so much is readily visible. The page turn is your only chance to get a good laugh.
HMS: What have you seen in Cameron Stewart's artwork so far that captures your sense of the world you initially envisioned for the project?
CP: So many of Cameron's techniques inspire me. He's not afraid of using incomplete objects; for example, just mouths or eyes, hiding or omitting the rest of a face or figure. This conveys the core emotion of the moment and holds the reader's attention more effectively. Marketing studies show that people are attracted to incomplete human forms; thus the proliferation of headless fashion mannequins. The complete form or face resolves tension. The incomplete image pays that tension forward, helping to build plot momentum. Also, since childhood I've loved architecture porn in comics: looming gothic mansions, art deco skyscrapers, castles, etc. Cameron was so committed to the Project Mayhem Victorian mansion that he built a three-dimensional model of it, allowing him to "shoot" it from any angle or distance with complete consistency.
HMS: In the comic, disaster (depending on how you look at it) spins out of human boredom. Is boredom the root of all evil?
CP: Careful, there. "Evil" is such a pejorative word. Let's just say that people crave change. We pendulum between our need for peace and growth and our need for destruction and re-creation. Most stories begin at the point where an existing peaceful system is failing.
[Paul Pope (Phantom Group/Forbidden Planet variant)]
HMS: How much of the return of Tyler Durden is totally Marla's "fault"? Does Sebastian, the narrator, have any blame or role in this on any level?
CP: You overlook the role of Dr. Wrong, the analyst. He's the ally who's kept Tyler active for a decade. Actually, everyone is complicit. Even Sebastian, who appears to do nothing. He's working very hard to ignore the ominous signals from his wife and son that they've both been communing with Tyler Durden.
HMS: Related to the previous question, has Sebastian really been content and happy in his life without Tyler, and would he have continued to be, otherwise?
CP: No one misses Tyler more than Sebastian does. Tyler symbolizes youth and courage and vitality, all the things Sebastian fears he's lost. Tyler is complete self-expression, contrasted with Sebastian who is complete drug-induced suppression.
HMS: What does it do to this world and this story to have a child character present? How does this affect or reflect your goals for the narrative? Is this partly to suggest danger and fragility with the return of Tyler or will Sebastian's son function as an expressive character in his own right?
CP: Early on, FC2 veers beyond child-in-peril territory. In a way, the child serves as the ultimate insult. He, "Junior," rejects his actual father in favor of Tyler. Thus another conflict – should Sebastian rescue a child who doesn't necessarily want to be rescued? Can they offer their son a future better than Tyler can? Is their love justification enough to prevent Junior from attaining the power and status Tyler offers him?
[Steve Lieber (TFAW Comics variant)]
HMS: Many people have asked me, in conversation about Fight Club 2, whether you might continue to work in the comics medium now that you've learned so much about it and spent so much time with it. Is that a possibility?
CP: I would love to continue in comics. Long-form prose was my first love, but it always helps to keep a mistress or two on the side. Comics will also improve my screenwriting; I'm taking a rough draft of the "Lullaby" script on tour this week, to polish it aboard planes and in hotel rooms. Writing short stories is a blast, but they have such a limited market. All that said, comics will become a lasting aspect of my output. If James Franco is successful at adapting a film from my novel "Rant" I'll be writing the sequel(s) as comics.
HMS: Can you tell us a little bit about your reactions to David Mack's covers for the series and what you feel he brings to evoking the world and characters of Fight Club 2 that's unique to his personality and vision?
CP: First off, David and I have been friends for years. I'm flattered that he's doing the covers, and thrilled because he's so good at depicting the subconscious. To me, Cameron is depicting the conscious mind and David, the subconscious. His covers act like the title sequence in David Fincher's film: That long, psychedelic trip through the narrator's brain before we emerge in the "real" world.

Mentor and trainer at MacKinnon Transport, Canadian Jim Coles strives to make a favorable first impression
Growing up on his parents' farm in Acton, Ontario, Jim Coles remembers getting acquainted with his first truck in a tedious manner — by stripping five layers of the previous owners' paint from it.
"That was my task," Coles says. "That Mack truck had about five different owners before I got into it."
Jim Coles
After driving his Mack truck to haul wagons and supply feed, seed and fertilizer around the farm in the 1970s, Coles says he used his experience with trucks to steer himself away from the farm after he graduated from Centennial College in Toronto, majoring in automotive technology.
"Trucking was an easy way out," Coles says. "Farming became too risky financially, whereas the trucking business had a steady income and the hours weren't any longer than farming."
After college he landed his first real trucking job at private carrier Frank Heller, where he delivered tanned cattle hides and leather to businesses in Ontario, Quebec and the northern U.S. from 1978 until the mid-1980s. When he was 23, Coles made a permanent stop at MacKinnon Transport, and now makes local heavy flatbed deliveries, hauling building materials in Ontario.
"That seems to be the place I want to be," he says. "I never found something better."
With more than one million accident-free miles on his record, Coles continues to prove he chose the right profession. In 2007, he was recognized as one of 10 Ontario Trucking Association Road Knights. In 2009, he was named the Volvo Trucks of Canada Driver of the Year.
Being a successful driver doesn't happen by just following the law, Coles says. He attributes his safe-driving accolades to making a great first impression with everyone he meets, by treating them with respect.
"I assume that everything I do is on display and that the public will look at me, my truck or my load and are going to assume that I'm going to treat them the same way I treat my customers," he says.
As a mentor and driver trainer for new hires at MacKinnon, Coles says he aims to impart a positive attitude always.
"Your attitude towards yourself, your job and others is the key to coming home safely, again and again," he says.
He also preaches the importance of being able to read the traffic and to anticipate what other drivers are going to do.
"It's part of a mental exercise when I'm driving," Coles says. "I'm trying to know them as well as they know themselves, or sometimes better."
Even though image and demeanor are important, Coles says the size of the truck shouldn't matter. Compared to his first, he says his 2006 International Eagle is comfortable and has "just enough power for the job."
"We always like to have more power than we need, but that's the Trucker's Creed, isn't it?" he says.
TN: What do you do in your free time?
JC: My wife runs the English Bulldog Club of Central Canada. We have up to 12 rescue dogs at our house at one time — it's quite an undertaking. English bulldogs have been a passion for my wife ever since she was a child, and I try to be here as often as I can to help her with that.
TN: What is one thing you always carry with you in your truck?
JC: Coffee.
TN: What is the most memorable moment in your years of trucking?
JC: I found myself parked at the top of a dam on the Ottawa River, delivering stainless steel to a hydrogenating site. The water on the passenger side was lapping at the cement about 10 feet from the tires and on the passenger side you could look out the window and see straight down, 150 feet into the water. The top of the dam was about 2 feet wider than my truck. I had enough experience under my belt that I felt confident about my ability to back into position safely. It just struck me, the raw beauty of the situation.

Biografia

Anastasia sposò Bassiano, un matrimonio con scopi dinastici, visto che Costantino elevò nel 314 Bassiano al rango di cesare per l'Italia. L'imperatore della parte occidentale dell'impero inviò al suo collega orientale, Licinio, Flavio Costanzo, allo scopo di ottenere il riconoscimento della nomina del cognato.

Licinio riuscì a convincere Bassiano a ribellarsi contro Costantino, consigliato dal proprio fratello Senecio, stretto collaboratore di Licinio stesso; Costantino venne a sapere del complotto e mise a morte Bassiano. Quando però chiese a Licinio di consegnargli Senecio, ricevutone un rifiuto, mise fine alla pace e attaccò il collega.

A Costantinopoli, nella nona regione, c'era un complesso termale a lei intitolato.

The incident was the last of a string of beatings and threats that kept the woman nearly captive in their home for months.
ER staff called the police, who took down the complaint. They followed up by arresting the perpetrator.
But they also arrested the victim on outstanding bench warrants issued by 72nd District Judge Cynthia Platzer.
It turns out, the victim had been cited twice for driving without a license.
At her arraignment the next day, the victim mentioned the abuse.
"But she also articulated that she had been using illegal substances," says Nelson. "And I think the judge grabbed onto that and didn't listen to the rest of the explanation."
Judge Platzer sentenced her to six months in jail for failing to pay her fines.
Seven days later, the ACLU of Michigan took the woman's case. At a hearing before Judge Platzer, the woman agreed to a payment plan for her fines and was released.
"I can't think of a worse environment for her. If we hadn't intervened, she would have spent six months in jail," says Nelson.
Nelson says the victim in this case had no job and no money. She'd tried to get a job, but her boyfriend beat her for the attempt.
But there was no hearing on the victim's ability to pay her fines.
"The Supreme Court said in the 1983 Bearden v. Georgia case, nobody can be incarcerated for failure to pay legal financial obligations," says Nelson, "unless they're in willful non-payment, meaning that they have the ability to pay and they chose not to. But that's exactly what didn't happen in this instance."
Nelson says the ACLU has had to step in numerous times in Michigan in recent years to keep an indigent person from going to jail merely because they couldn't afford to pay their fines.
She says it's unconstitutional, and it's an ineffective use of court resources. "These are people who not only can't afford to pay, but you're also spending money to punish them for their poverty."
A work group at the State Court Administrative Offices is looking at the issue, and Nelson hopes the group will issue guidelines, with suggested alternatives for people who can't pay fines, such as community service or work crews.
But she says the state Legislature may also need to get involved with laws designed to curb the problem.


Stop, Wrap and Roll with these Sardine Collard Wraps!
Want to mix up your lunch routine? How about an easy-to-make wrap with protein-packed Wild Planet Wild Sardines? Marissa Cohen, a writer at The Philosophie, shares a vegetable-filled spin on a lettuce wrap sure to satisfy at home or on-the-go.
Since 1980, fish consumption has increased 20% within the United States alone. Although it's exciting more people are welcoming fish to their plates and their palates, it also means it has become more difficult to keep track of the fish industry and their fishing practices. Here at Wild Planet Foods we believe in sustainable fishing practices and that responsible fishing supports global food security.
As New Year's Day nears and we all look to the future and what lies ahead, there's no better time to adopt more sustainable practices in our lives. We've invited Ashley Martens, a Health and Wellness Writer of Three to Five a Day to share with us five simple ways to eat more sustainably in 2019.
With so many different tuna brands to choose from, how do you know which brand is for you? Today on the blog, we've invited award-winning Whole30 certified coach & registered dietitian-nutritionist, Whitney Stuart, to share her top 5 reasons why she [and other dietitians] love Wild Planet Wild Tuna!
Let's be clear, not all fish are a quality tuna steak. However, with the rise of quality sourcing companies, like Wild Planet, they're making an effort to sustain the nutrient value within their catch! In addition to that, I'm sharing 5 reasons why I choose Wild Planet Wild Tuna.
Tuna is so versatile. Tuna cakes, tuna salad, tuna casserole. The protein, with a good spice profile, can be the highlight of your lunch. Or, if you're bold like me, breakfast.
Wild Planet only sources pole and line as well as troll-caught tuna. Huh? These are the young and small whippersnappers with lower levels of mercury as compared to older and larger tuna. Their products average mercury levels six times lower than the FDA "Action Limit".
A girl can only eat so much chicken. And turkey. And tilapia. Creativity and flavor is the key to a healthful balanced diet. With tuna, there are more options, and I never feel deprived!
I may not be popular with my traveling choice, but I would rather be nourished than hangry and inflamed. This is my favorite recommendation for busy clients; especially my mamas who need something quick and easy. Plus, DHA in low-mercury containing seafood, aids in healthy brain and eye development.
This fish is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which keeps your heart's function up to par and improves your arteries' integrity. Get pumped, ladies! Let's use that strong muscle for good.
I've rounded up a few of my dietitian-approved favorites for you to try this week! Easy, simple and nutrient-filled. Just the way I like it.
Now that you've heard from Whitney, we'd like to hear from you! Tell us why you love Wild Planet Wild Tuna in the comments below!
Happy 2018! We're starting the New Year off the right way – with a fresh set of resolutions. We believe in making resolutions that will not only flourish your body, but also help you live your best life. If you find it a bit of a struggle to reflect and set realistic goals for the year ahead, you're in luck! We've enlisted New York Giants Linebacker, Devon Kennard, to give insight on his resolutions and how to reach them!
Getting kids to eat natural, wholesome food is an age-old struggle—but it doesn't have to be. Our friend Tandy from Mat & Kitchen has some easy tips for creating a healthy food culture for the whole family. She's also been gracious enough to offer Wild Planet's readers an exclusive, free trial of her site, Mat & Kitchen, for 30 days! Continue reading to learn more.

NHL Playoff Report: First Round
Posted by thesportsjunky on April 25, 2019 · Leave a Comment
There is only one thing to talk about after the first round of the playoffs and that is the fact that it is one of the most surprising starts to the playoffs ever seen.
Two of the best teams in the season were taken out in the first round of the playoffs which taken apart are not that remarkable but in the same season with the way they both performed makes this unprecedented.
The Calgary Flames were the best team in the west rising to the top of the rankings on the backs of a young group.
It looked like a year that they could really make some noise in the playoffs after bringing in 107 points and 50 wins on the season.
That was an impressive season that had them in the top spot taking on a Colorado team that barely made it into the playoffs.
The Avalanche were a young group that struggled in the middle of the season but came through at the end to squeak through and make it into the final wild card spot.
Overall the Avalanche were a good team but were too young to be a factor in the playoffs against a slightly more experienced Flames team.
After a convincing win in the first game, the Flames were not as solid the rest of the way with the Avs taking four straight wins to eliminate the best team in five games.
The Flames were not the same team they had been throughout the season while Nathan MacKinnon took over the series and led the Avs to the win.
It was a surprising finish to the series but not one that was entirely surprising as the Avalanche were coming in as the hotter team at the end of the season.
Still, it was a bad way to get eliminated only taking one win after totalling 50 in the regular season and ending their hopes.
What was more surprising was on the other side of the bracket where one of the greatest regular season teams in the history of the NHL was completely outclassed.
The Tampa Bay Lightning ran through the regular season and were the clear favourites to take the Stanley Cup after years of getting close.
With 62 wins and 128 points, they had more points and wins than any other team in the history of the league so when they drew Columbus it was considered the first victim on their run to the Cup.
That was far from the case as the Blue Jackets came into the playoffs on a high and used their boring but effective style to shut down the deep attack of the Lightning.
It was never supposed to be this way but the Blue Jackets took four straight wins in the series eliminating the President's Trophy winners before they even knew what was happening.
It was a shock to not only see that strong of a team eliminated in the first round but to be swept in the first round.
Add that to the fact that the best team in the west also took a loss and the playoffs was already off to one of the strangest starts ever.
As the league moves into the second round the two best teams in the league won't be playing while playoff stalwarts Pittsburgh and Nashville will also watch from home.
It leaves a lot of interesting teams left to fight for the Cup including the two teams that everyone is now looking at the rest of the way.
Columbus just beat the best team in the league and their style is built for playoff hockey even if it is boring.
They play with a defence first mindset and that leads to few exciting games but it was good enough to shut down the best offence in hockey.
There are no other teams that could match the Lightning and their output so who can be better than them now and break through the Blue Jackets style.
The Avalanche are riding high and playing their best hockey right now with a young team that seems to be coming together at the right time.
They came into the playoffs with everyone wondering if they had more than one line and they proved that they did.
If they can continue to gel and players like MacKinnon and Miko Rantanen continue to play to the level they did in the first round they could become a dark horse.
Of course, the path is not easy as the Avs will take on the veteran-laden Sharks while the Blue Jackets take on another experienced and tough team in Boston.
There are plenty of teams with a good shot and without the top two teams this year the run to the Cup is almost entirely open.

James Herbert, OBE (1943-2013) was a best-selling English horror writer who originally worked as the art director of an advertising agency. His first two books, The Rats and The Fog, are disaster novels. With his third novel, the ghost story The Survivor, Herbert used supernatural horror rather than the science fiction horror of his first two books. In Shrine, he explored his Roman Catholic heritage with the story of an apparent miracle which turns out to be something much more sinister. The Spear deals with a neo-Nazi cult in Britain and an international conspiracy which includes a right-wing US general and an arms dealer.

The Indian Space Science Data Center (ISSDC) is a ground segment facility being established by ISRO in October 2008, as the primary data center for the payload data archives of Indian Space Science Missions. This data center, located at the Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) campus in Bangalore, is responsible for the ingestion, archive, processing, and dissemination of the payload data and related ancillary data for Space Science missions. The primary user of this facility will be the principal investigators of the science payloads. In addition to them the data will be made accessible to scientist from other institution and also to the general public. The facility has supported Chandrayaan-1, AstroSat, Youthsat, Mars Orbiter Mission, and Megha-tropiques and will be supporting any other future space science missions.

Missions
Some of the missions the ISSDC has served and is currently contributing to are:
 AstroSat (AS1)
 Meghatropiques (MT1)
 Chandrayaan-1 (CH1)
 Resourcesat-2/AIS-SB (Satellite-based Automatic Identification System)
 Youthsat (YS1)
 MARS Orbiter Mission (MOM)
 Chandrayaan-2 (CH2)

Functioning

Payload data from the satellites will be received at the data reception stations and subsequently transferred to ISSDC for further processing.

The raw payload data received through the data reception stations is further processed to generate Level-0 and Level-1 data products that are stored in the ISSDC archives for subsequent dissemination. Automation in the entire chain of data processing is planned. Raw payload data / Level-0 data/ Level-1 data for each science payload is transferred to the respective Payload Operations Centers (POC) for further processing, analysis and generation of higher level data products. The higher level data products generated by the POC's are subsequently transferred to ISSDC archives for storage and dissemination. The data archives for Level-0 and higher products are organized following the Planetary Data System (PDS) standards.

The dissemination of data from ISSDC to the payload operations centers / principal investigators, scientists and general public is supported through private WAN connections and Internet.

Software packages developed by software development teams in the different centers of ISRO, by the principal investigator's teams / payload development teams are to be deployed at ISSDC to support these functions.

Facilities

ISSDC data archival and distribution functions follow the data policy guidelines of ISRO. The data transfer system at ISSDC, with suitable security systems, provides for distribution of science data (as per data policy). After a pre-specified proprietary period, ISSDC would make the data available to public users who can access the archives through the Internet.

ISSDC supports six primary services; viz Access Services, Interchange Services, Archive Services, Support Services, Operations Services and Maintenance Services.

ISSDC interfaces with Mission Operations Complex, Data reception centers, Payload designers, Payload operations centers, Principal investigators, Mission software developers and Science data users to execute its functions.

The primary facilities for ISSDC have been established at the IDSN site, Byalalu at Bangalore.

We hit 6 years in downtown Melbourne, but learned that we outgrew that place a lot over the years.
Our new Location is 446 N. Harbor City Blvd, Melbourne Florida, next to Open Mike's at the corner of Babcock and US1.
As well as adding 2 new artists to the roster (Drew, and Adam), we are also welcoming our new body piercer Jess Lee.
Come by and see the new shop, meet our artists, and collect a new tattoo or piercing.
White Trash Matt will have tattoos and artwork in the upcoming publications for the book "When Nature Calls" a book of floral tattoos.
As well as the "Eight Arms Project" publication, a book of tentacles and octopus, raising money to keep art education in schools! We are stoked to be a part of these projects.
Earlier this month Matt was featured in Tattoo1 Tribal magazine for his multi-award winning tattoo of the "girl kissing the skull" black and grey half sleeve. This is a UK publication, and if anyone would be so kind from over the pond to send me a copy or 2, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Adding on to the list of accomplishments for the shop, White Trash Matt brings home 4 trophies.
White Trash Matt took home 4 awards from the Baltimore Tattoo Convention.
3rd place Best original flash.
Thank you to everyone who came out and showed support!!
Want BIG tattoo work without paying BIG money? We are now booking half days (up to 4 hrs) for $400,and full days ( up to 8hrs) for $700.
This is a GREAT way to start and complete larger works without having to nickel and dime your wallet over months of time.
Our normal hourly rate is $125, so by booking in for a half day, you are saving $100, and booking a full day, you are saving $300, not too shabby.
This promotion has worked well for us and our clients in the past, it allows us to solely focus on 1 to 2 appointments a day, and be able to get a lot of work done at once without having to remember over months of time which color blends were used, or how well a client sits.
Tattoos are works of art, that are on and in your skin for LIFE. They are not new shoes that you spend $100-200 on and they're worn out 6 months later, or a car that you spend a couple grand on and end up trading in after a few years. Tattoos are the only thing you are guaranteed to take with you well beyond your grave.
Our Grand Opening celebration was a MASSIVE success. Thank you to everyone that showed up to show support. We are now open full time for walk ins and for appointments.

Me fui de chupe! In other words I went out drinking. No, don't worry I didn't get into a shady bar and got drunk senseless but I went wine tasting. Close enough! Back in 2011, when I was only 11 years old my mom and her sister went wine tasting at "Vinos y Licores Vilcabamba" for my little brothers baptism. My mom and my aunt migrated to the USA together and went through many experiences that strengthen their bond. I remember being told to wait outside with my little sister because the grown ups were busy. After what seemed like days my mom and aunt walked out laughing and giggling like teenage girls. Their cheeks reflected red roses and they had mist on their foreheads. Something told me they had tasted too much wine. It was very nice to see them walkout with their arms hooked onto each other and giggling like teenage girls. I always wanted to go wine tasting there but when I lived in Ecuador the location had been closed down.
My mom and all her 5 siblings were baptized in this cute little church in the center of Vilcabamba.
Thanks sweetie! My favorites are yet to come.

Q: Cómo podría hacer una función que recibe un vector de números reales Desarrolle una función que reciba un vector de números reales y un número real x, tal que indique el porcentaje de elementos menores o iguales a un valor x.
No encuentro la forma de realizarlos, solicito de su ayuda por favor, gracias

A: En R sería de la siguiente manera
porcentaje_menores <- function(y,x) {
  return(100*length(y[y<=x])/length(y))
}

porcentaje_menores(1:10,5)
porcentaje_menores(1:10,1)

Con lenght() regresa el numero de elementos en un vector, y con y[y<=x] filtramos los valores de y menores o iguales a x. El resto es envolver la formula de porcentaje dentro de una función r porcentaje_menores.
Nota: Faltaría agregar pruebas sobre los parámetros de la función para evitar errores.

North-East students hit by DU hostel shortage say they feel 'unsafe' in capital
By Astha Saxena
Published: 17:12 EST, 9 June 2015 | Updated: 19:57 EST, 9 June 2015
The shortage of hostel rooms at Delhi University (DU) has left a large number of students from the North-East (N-E) scrambling for secure accommodation outside the campus.
Every year, a large number of N-E students flock to the Capital seeking admission to Delhi University. From securing the accommodation to dealing with the "alien" city, they have a long list of tasks to handle.
And their struggle doesn't end there.
Other options? Delhi University has a shortage of hostel rooms, and many students feel unsafe in the capital
The university offers hostel facilities in 17 colleges including Daulat Ram, Sri Venkateswara, Shri Ram College of Commerce, Hindu, Hansraj and Lady Shri Ram. The room allotment in all the colleges is done on a first-come-first-serve basis.
"The number of hostel rooms in these centres is less. My friends who are studying in the DU did not manage to get the hostel facility in any of these centres.
"We are also looking out for other options," Chetna, who hails from Mizoram, told Mail Today.
Many N-E students who are seeking admission to DU say that landlords demand more money from them for rented accommodation.
DU students and teachers left baffled by new Choice Based...
"Most of the time, the landlords will not give the rent agreement. The agreement is important for us for many other purposes.
"There are too many restrictions imposed on us as we are from the North-East," said Timothy, a student from Manipur.
Safety is another issue that concerns them. With rising cases of rapes and sexual assaults, several N-E students feel unsafe in the Capital.
"As we have distinctive facial features, we are branded as chinkies. Many believe that women students from the North-East are gullible," said Victoria, another DU aspirant who hails from Nagaland.
The DU administration has set up a special admission help desk for the students from North-East in all eight offline centres.
To extend a helping hand to the students, a nodal admission officer and a volunteer from the North-East Society Delhi University (NESSDU) is available at every centre.
"Despite all the problems we face, we have to accept this city because of the vast opportunities it provides," said Victoria.
Meanwhile, students of schools affiliated to International Baccalaureate (IB) and other international boards may lose on the opportunity to secure admission to DU as their class XII results will be declared much after the varsity announcing its first cut-off.


In the Objective-C world, it was typical to just use an NSArray to hold whatever records your collection view was going to be using as a data source, and then for each element check what class it is before picking a cell. This case seems particularly not Swifty these days.
Okay so that's not the most type-safe approach, although it's surprisingly common in Obj-C iOS code. As a better alternative in Swift, we can use enum cases for the different item types, and perform lookups of the items themeselves as needed. Let's look at an example.
The index is just a way to keep track of which item this it supposed to represent in the database. We take this approach to keep the amount of data needed to produce the collection view down. We don't need all the associated data with every video to be present when putting together a collection view, we just need the info on what cell is tapped, after it is tapped.
cell.ratingLabel.text = "\(review.rating) out of 10"
The associated index value is so that we can find the individual item in the DB when the collection view wants to display a cell.
Something about this code didn't sit right with me though. I felt that too much of the code was boilerplate; in particular the switch felt bulky and like it had too much work being done inside each case.
But what if I created a protocol for any data source that could be presented as a collection view cell? It would change on a view-by-view basis so I don't actually want this in my model.. but I do like having it on these particular CollectionViewCell subclasses.
self.ratingLabel.text = "\(review.rating) out of 10"
What do you think? Is this a cleaner approach? Let me know if you have a different method in the comment, or let me know on Twitter. My username is @jquave.
let title = "Trailer Title"
let title = "Review Title"
let title = "Playthrough Title"
Personally I always stub things out with static values before I do the work of integrating with a backend service or whatever data provider is needed. This makes it much easier to iterate.

Foreign Railway Postmarks
CLICK HERE for a Bibliography of worldwide references to Railway Postmarks

(Each of the above pages is listed by country, and opens in its own new window)
(For convenience, both of the above pages also include GB & Ireland)
The Worldwide Spread of TPOs
Other countries quickly followed Great Britain by introducing their own Travelling Post Offices. Here below is a cover postmarked 30 April, 1877 on the Italian TPO between Ventimiglia and Genoa. The TPO mark is a sorting mark; the cancellation mark (a 'dumb cancel' – in this case a diamond shaped grid of of dots) was put on at the place of origin.
Note however that the methods for handling railway mails varied a lot from country to country. Operating procedures abroad were not simply copies of those in Britain – each country adopted procedures which suited its own particular requirements. For more information on this please refer to the Bibliography of references to Foreign Railway Postmarks (listed by country).
The Difficulties in Collecting Foreign Postmarks
The main difficulties in collecting foreign postmarks are:
• foreign material is simply more difficult to get hold of
• the language used is, in the main, not English
• the terminology used is usually quite different to that used in British railway postmarks
You really need to know your stuff to collect foreign railway postmarks. But, if you want a challenge, this is a great area to explore. Information is often difficult to find, so foreign railway postmarks is a subject you can really get your teeth into!
As a fairly easy starter, the railway stamps of Belgium are nearly always postmarked, and are relatively plentiful on Ebay.
(The town of Boom lies between Brussels and Antwerp.)
Also, here are a few examples of foreign railway postmarks from countries where English was a commonly used language. The first example (from Australia) is shown upside down so that you can read the postmark more easily.

If you're a book lover drawn to stories with suspense, strong female lead characters and a very realistic portrayal of Savannah life, then you're going to want to start reading the new "Harper McClain" series by Christi Daugherty.
Daugherty is a former crime reporter who started her career at the Savannah Morning News and covered her first murder at age 22. She would later go on to work as a journalist in other cities, like Baton Rouge, La., and New Orleans, before going across the pond to work in England where she wrote the international bestselling young adult "Night School" series under the name CJ Daugherty.
The first book in her new adult series, "The Echo Killing," is set in Savannah and follows the story of a crime reporter haunted by her mother's murder that took place when she was a young girl. Fifteen years later, she discovers similarities between her mother's murder and a new case.
Daugherty's next book in the series, "A Beautiful Corpse," will debut March 12 and the author reveals she will be doing quite a bit of research for the third book while she's in town for the Savannah Book Festival.
She will give her presentation at 9 a.m. Feb. 16 at the Baptist Church Fellowship Hall.
Before making her way back to Savannah, Daugherty spoke with Do Savannah about "The Echo Killing," why she's still drawn to Savannah, and her special connection to the newsroom culture despite the dangers aimed at journalists.
Do: "The Echo Killing" is set in Savannah and the main character is a crime reporter at the newspaper that seems to be modeled after the Savannah Morning News at their old location on Bay Street. Tell us about your history with Savannah as a crime reporter and why you chose this location for your book?
Daugherty: "I based the newspaper in the book on the Savannah Morning News, where I was a crime reporter years ago. I knew that the paper had moved its offices from the original Bay Street location. I made a conscious decision to bring back that rambling, old news building for the book. I always liked that building. And, keeping it on Bay Street sets the action right in the heart of the city.
"The Morning News was my first professional journalism job. I was 21 years old and straight out of college. My first assignment as a crime reporter was watching the police pull a dead body out of the river. I interviewed a detective standing next to the corpse. And that was just day one.
Do: When you were writing this book, what elements of Savannah did you feel were important to add to the story?
Daugherty: "I wanted to capture the city as a character but not a caricature. Often, when people write about Savannah, it's all bulldogs in sweaters and quirky old men. I didn't want that.
"I wanted to capture the essence of workday Savannah. The one that residents see. Harper has lived there all her life, so she avoids the tourist spots; they slow her down. She's not interested in the quirkiness. I wanted people to see the beauty of it and also the crime that has always plagued the city.
"I can viscerally remember a night where there was a symphony in Forsyth Park. All my friends were going, but I was working. It was a beautiful summer evening, and I sneaked away from the newsroom to go to the park for a while. Everyone had picnics and champagne, and the music soared through the darkness. And then there was a shooting 15 blocks away and I was back to reality.
Do: You live in England now? Did you keep up with Savannah crime news for this book? How did you do your research and what resource materials did you find helpful?
Daugherty: "One of the reasons I chose Savannah as the setting was because I'd started reading the Savannah Morning News online. Seeing those familiar street names brought it all back.
Do: Several reviews of "The Echo Killing" describe the book as a great representation of newsroom culture. What elements do you find most important to describe newsroom culture? Do you miss the newsroom? If so, what do you miss?
Daugherty: "From the very start, I loved the noise and energy of a newsroom. In the days before everyone had headphones on all the time, you had to learn to write while three reporters were talking on phones and 10 more were all typing at once and the city editor was arguing with the copy desk. I think that's why, even now, I can write anyplace, no matter how loud it is.
"Writing 'Harper McClain,' I get to try and recapture the adrenaline rush of being a crime reporter, of hearing police called to a shooting on my scanner and that brief pause, holding my breath, waiting to see if it's serious. And if it is, running across the newsroom, down to the car and racing to the crime scene. I've never felt anything like that rush of excitement.
"I've also tried to capture the threat under which newspapers operate. That threat was present when I was a reporter and it's worse now. A subplot of the series is about the newspaper's struggle to survive. Harper's job is constantly in doubt; at any moment she could be let go.
Do: "A Beautiful Corpse" is set to release in March—what can you tell our readers about that book?
Do: Any places you're looking forward to visiting when you make your way to Savannah for the book festival?
Daugherty: "I'm bringing my husband who's never been to Savannah. So, I'm going to take him everywhere! We'll stop by all my old haunts in the historic district. Also, book three in the series is partially set on Tybee Island, so we'll be heading out there.

Q: python upload data, not file, to s3 bucket I know how to upload a file to s3 buckets in Python. I am looking for a way to upload data to a file in s3 bucket directly. In this way, I do not need to save my data to a local file, and then upload the file. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A: AFAIK standard Object.put() supports this.
resp = s3.Object('bucket_name', 'key/key.txt').put(Body=b'data')

Edit: it was pointed out that you might want the client method, which is just put_object with the kwargs differently organized
client.put_object(Body=b'data', Bucket='bucket_name', Key='key/key.txt')


I know a wienie man (He lives on our block).
He owns a wienie stand (He parks it in front of his house).
He sells most anything (not really).
From hotdogs to ham (hotdogs, soda and water is all).
Some day I'll join his life (very doubtful).
I'll be his wienie wife (he's already married, me too).
Hotdog, I love that wienie man! (have never even bought a wienie from him, they're not organic).
On weekdays, you can find the wienie man in front of Hamilton Park. He and his wife are a hardworking couple. We often see them pushing their cart past our house on their way to and from work. Every now and then, Izzy asks, "Why don't we ever buy hotdogs from the wienie man?" Hmmm.."Well we don't eat the kind of hotdogs he sells. They aren't organic."
Organic hotdogs or not, Izzy is somewhat in awe of the wienie man. And apparently has observed him carefully. This all came out at lunchtime today over some Niman Ranch Fearless Franks (not exactly organic but made with humanely raised beef and no nitrites).
If you know me, you know that hotdogs are a rare meal around our house. The older Izzy gets, the more I hear about how his best pals at school seem to lunch on cut-up wienies on a regular basis. I explain that we only eat wienies at home, and only on special occasions.
Today turned out to be that special occasion. Our cupboard was bare and the only thing I could conjure up was a frozen package of wienies. I figured a wienie was a good way to celebrate President's Day, especially if honoring our current one. When Izzy saw the package he was delighted so I boiled up two and placed them on buns, along with a small salad.
Izzy immediately requested some ketchup on his wienie. I began to squirt some on the dog when Izzy stopped me. "Don't you know how to put ketchup on a wienie, mama?"
I explained that I never used much ketchup and that I wasn't fond of it. He proceeded to tell me that the "right" way to apply ketchup was directly on the bun. "How do you know the right way to put ketchup on?" I asked.
"I saw the wienie man do it."
So love this entry. It's funny that your son is obsessed w/the wienie man and my son is obsessed with the song. Thank you for posting the words for the world to read. Truth be told, I'm begining to like the song myself. Maybe it's that I'm longing for simpler life -- one where a fella follows me around with a cart of really deliciously gross food. D.
Haha, I used to see that hot dog man almost every day when I used to go to McNair Academic, either on my way to Basic or Isabella's, after eating my brown bag in the park, or while occasionally buying a hot dog of course.
I like grilled/griddled dogs a lot more though, a la your friendly neighborhood Gray's Papaya.
Oh also, I would send you an e-mail but I can't find an e-mail link on your blog.
Anyway, I wanted to start a regular grocery shopping schedule and wanted to ask you for any recommendations/advice you can give me.
I just recently started buying my own groceries and even more recently, started paying more attention to freshness and to local, sustainable, organic, etc. products.
I plan to subscribe to a CSA in the spring/summer with my sister (whom I think you've met,) but I would still like a place I can rely on for staple foods and emergency purchases, while still being quality.
I have a car, but I would prefer to walk. I also like going into the city, although supporting Jersey City markets would be great.
D: I knew you would love it! What's wrong with a fella who follows you around with a heap of khakis?
Joseph: I like a grilled wienie myself but now can't stomach the thought of Gray's Papaya (though I have eaten them long ago).
Too tired to reply to your other post. How do I I put an email contact on my blog anyway..I will get back to you on your questions soon! Good to here that you are into shopping locally etc.

Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas), a citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation, presides over the U.S. House of Representatives on April 4, 2019.
Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas), a citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation and one of four tribal citizens in the U.S. House of Representatives, has placed herself in self-quarantine until March 26, 2020, after being in "contact with a fellow member of Congress who recently tested positive for COVID-19." Davids joins Rep. Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma), a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, in self-quarantine as the coronavirus spreads in the United States.
Representative Sharice Davids issued the following statement on the decision to self-quarantine after having contact with a member of Congress who later tested positive for the coronavirus:
"Last week, I had contact with a fellow member of Congress who recently tested positive for COVID-19. In following the guidance I received from the Attending Physician of Congress, and out of an abundance of caution, I will stay home and self-quarantine until March 26.
"I'm thankfully feeling well and have had not experienced any symptoms. The Attending Physician said that I'm at very low risk for contracting COVID-19, as are the people I've interacted with recently. But as I've said before, we all have a role to play in reducing the spread of this virus, and that means self-quarantining when appropriate.
"In the meantime, I will be teleworking from home and continuing to serve the people of Kansas' Third District as we respond to this public health crisis. I remain committed to working with our public health officials at all levels of government to keep our community prepared and safe. I urge everyone to follow CDC and local public health guidelines, including practicing good hygiene and social distancing, as we work through this challenge together."

HRE Developments Require Patience and Attention to Details
Topic:Policy/Legislation
In today's highly competitive, constantly changing healthcare real estate environment, being a successful healthcare development firm takes plenty of persistence, perseverance, patience and attention to details, according to those involved in the business.
An example of a development firm showing all three qualities to get a project underway can be found in Bristol, Conn., where Jupiter, Fla.-based Rendina Healthcare Real Estate recently started construction on a future 62,000 square foot downtown medical office building (MOB) that it landed through an RFP process.
Because the project is a key element in the City of Bristol's plan to revitalize and redevelop its downtown, Rendina spent plenty of time coordinating the project and the design with the city, which owns the land that Rendina will lease, the independent Bristol Hospital, whose Multi-Specialty Group will offer a wide array of services in the building, and others, including state transportation officials.
During a time when numerous health systems prefer to develop and own the outpatient facilities they occupy, Rendina's persistence, perseverance, patience and attention to details have paid off, as the company will complete the project in late 2018.
As an extra bonus, Rendina will own the project instead of developing it on a fee basis.
Most healthcare development firms prefer to finance and own the projects they develop, as taking the risk can be more lucrative than completing facilities for a set fee.
According to Revista's second annual second annual "Outpatient Healthcare Real Estate Development Survey," of the 33.9 million square feet of outpatient projects started or completed in 2017, about 9.53 million, or 28 percent, are or will be owned by third-party development firms. That percentage is in keeping, albeit a bit lower, than the general rule of thumb that about one-third of all outpatient projects developed in a given year will be owned by third-party firms.
In the case of the Bristol Hospital MOB project, the provider chose to conserve its capital for other uses instead of spending it on the project. It's a scenario that HRE professionals say could become more prevalent in the future, as health systems are experiencing dwindling reimbursements while still needing to invest their capital in expanding their service lines and delivery models.
"I've been here 11 almost 11 and a half years, and true access to capital to do something with has been really lucid for us," Bristol Hospital President & CEO Kurt Barwis told The Bristol Press. "We are really fortunate to have found a developer to actually finance the project and work through the project with us."
Steve Barry, executive VP and director of development and leasing with Rendina, says: "Overall, the city, the hospital and Rendina coordinated the details and worked very well together on a complicated project to get this shovel in the ground to meet the hospital's timeline."
Rendina was awarded the project in early 2017, meaning the planning process since then took just more than a year.
"This is not an uncommon timeline, especially when you have local and state approvals required for a project," Mr. Barry says. "We also had an intense design process, getting input from a wide variety of user groups to make sure the space was going to be flexible and efficient in order to meet the hospital's needs well into the future."
When asked if developing healthcare projects requires more patience and attention to details than it does for other types of facilities, he notes: "Healthcare development is not a business you can just jump into and figure out quickly. It takes a lot of experience to navigate some of the nuances of developing these facilities and working successfully with health systems."
The facility is slated to open in late 2019.

For consistency and predictability, Smart Order Tags uses a few simple rules to convert your attribute/property names and values into an order tag. If you plan to use whitelists to limit the tags created by the app, you will need to enter each tag in the format used by Smart Order Tags.
You can easily check this format with the tag format checker linked from the Settings page. If you'd like to understand exactly how this conversion works, read on.
Any whitespace is stripped from the beginning and end.
E.g. ' Gift wrap ' becomes 'Gift wrap'.
Any capital letters are converted to lower case.
E.g. 'Gift wrap' becomes 'gift wrap'.
Any sequences of one or more non-alphanumeric characters are replaced with a single hyphen. Also, any hyphens placed at the beginning or end are removed.
E.g. 'Gift wrap' becomes 'gift-wrap'.
Finally, the converted name and value are joined together by ': '.
E.g. the converted attribute name 'gift-wrap' and value 'yes' are joined to become the tag 'gift-wrap: true'.

Body found in Mendocino County apartment; caretaker arrested
PUBLISHED: December 18, 2016 at 1:17 p.m. | UPDATED: April 20, 2018 at 5:59 a.m.
FORT BRAGG, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in Mendocino County say the discovery of a badly decomposed woman's body at her Fort Bragg apartment has led to the arrest of her caretaker on suspicion of elder abuse and false imprisonment.
Fort Bragg Police Sgt. Jonathan McLaughlin says the body found last week during a welfare check was in a mummified condition and the woman may have been dead for a month. She was believed to be in her 60s or 70s.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/2hO3nIn ) the woman's caretaker was arrested Friday after returning to the apartment.
Police did not disclose why they believe the woman's death was caused by her caretaker's abuse. But McLaughlin says there were no signs of physical abuse and detectives are treating it as a case of neglect.
Autopsy results are pending.
