"Regeneration is about building a whole area, not a few houses. It's a complex procedure and not the sort of expertise councils have internally," explains Sophie Quenby @Procurement_Hub (sponsored) #ukhousing @IHPartnerships

Post-Grenfell, 46% of social housing organisations have changed their approach to using consultants. Sophie Quenby @Procurement_Hub comments, "It's about getting things right first time rather than correcting later." (sponsored) #ukhousing @IHPartnerships
It seems we have needed an urgent acceleration in housebuilding in the UK since, well, forever. Last year the government set itself another target: to build an additional 300,000 homes each year.
Progress has been made – but there is still plenty of work to do. According to government figures, 57,000 homes were completed in the UK in the first quarter of 2019 – more than in any other quarter since the end of 2007. Councils are becoming more involved, too; collectively they have posted more than 1,000 completions in five out of the past 13 quarters, compared with once in the previous 20 years.
But that is not the whole story. Building homes is getting harder to do, too. As our survey results suggest, the technical and regulatory challenges that developers must hurdle today are growing taller, and the social sector's developers don't always have the requisite expertise in-house to negotiate this increasingly complex landscape.
"That's why you go to experts," says Sophie Quenby, operations manager at Procurement Hub. "Not everyone can know everything."
Together with Procurement Hub, Inside Housing has surveyed professionals from across the sector on why and how often they use consultants during the development process.
Council housebuilding: back with a vengeance
Exclusive research: councils set to quadruple development over the next five years
We received responses from 96 individuals, who between them represent a broad swathe of the sector; they include 32 managers, 19 heads of service, eight officers, 20 directors and four assistant directors.
Almost half – 47% – work directly in development, but other respondents work in roles as varied as finance, compliance, housing management and health and safety.
And across the board, it is clear that consultants now play a major role in all aspects of development. When asked whether they brought consultants in when developing, more than three-quarters (78%) of respondents said they did – and that collectively they do so across the whole gamut of the development process.
The survey offered 16 possible answers to the question 'what types of consultancy do you use', and every box was ticked multiple times. More than half of respondents said they used consultants to help with architecture (59%), project and cost management (55%), construction design and management (54%), and technical and site investigations – but with the exception of a couple of outliers (risk management and governance: 13%, and auditing and development monitoring: 18%), use is strong across the board.
Increasing complexity
So we know the areas in which external help is being sought, but what are the developers looking to achieve?
The survey asked respondents for their top three most likely factors when deciding to use some form of consultancy. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular answers were a lack of appropriate internal expertise – 60% cited this as a factor – and a cost-effective way to gain that expertise (52%).
More striking were the nods to the increasingly complicated nature of development today. Almost half (47%) cited a complex construction environment, while just under one-third of respondents (30%) said a complex legislative environment was a major factor.
"Building homes has become a more complex process," says Ms Quenby.
"You need to know about land purchasing, what kind of houses to build… Regeneration is about building whole areas, not a few houses. There is a lot more behind it. That's why people reach out to consultants – it's a complex procedure and not the sort of expertise most have internally."
Speaking of increasingly complex processes, uncertainty around Brexit was cited as a factor by just 4% of respondents; while it might factor on everyone's risk registers, it is not a top driver here.
A post-Grenfell world
Asked whether their organisation's approach to using consultants had changed following the Grenfell Tower disaster, 46% said that it had (44% said it had made no difference, while 10% of respondents did not offer a reply).
One provider that has changed its processes as a result is 12,000-home One Manchester. "[We wanted] to make sure we build to the highest quality and ensure that we don't have another Grenfell," explains Pauline Terry, development manager at One Manchester .
This result was as expected, Ms Quenby says. "People want to make sure they are getting things right first time rather than correcting it later on."
The survey also asked respondents for their top three priorities when selecting a consultant. By far the most popular response – cited by 81% – was expertise and experience. The second-most popular response was price (54%), followed by availability (35%) and reputation (29%).
In other words, the top priorities are all about mitigating risks. Developers want to hire people who know what they are doing, and don't want to pay an extortionate amount to do so.
But as another set of responses reveals, the speed of the hiring process itself is seen as key by most of those surveyed.
When asked how important is a compliant, quick and efficient route to reviewing and selecting consultants, 64% of respondents – split pretty much evenly – said it was either somewhat important, very important or essential. That matters to consultants themselves, too; Maggi Howard, director at housing consultancy Perito Property, ticked the 'essential' box: "It's about resource management," she explains.
"Sometimes your client is a local authority or a housing association with a complex decision-making process. Officers aren't always empowered to say, 'I need that doing, and I need it in three weeks.' That isn't a complaint, it is just the nature of business; you have to go with it."
Given the growing urgency around building new homes, it seems those qualities – speed and flexibility – are going to be in as much demand going forward as the consultants themselves.

            }
        }
    }

A: setMarkerClickListener es el método donde se define el listener del marcador, al dar clic sobre elelmento, NO es un marcador.
Lo que sucede regularmente es que se crea un marcador pero la cámara no se mueve hacia ese punto, por esta razón no se visualiza el marcador.
Al definir el Marker (marcador) te sugiero mover la cámara usando el método moveCamera() para que puedas visualizar el marcador creado.
Este es un ejemplo en Java:
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    // Agrega Marcador a Guadalajara, Mexico,
    // y mueve la camara a la posición
    LatLng guadalajara = new LatLng(20.6636993,-103.3637399);
    googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(guadalajara)
            .title("Guadalajara"));

    //Mueve camara
    googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(guadalajara, 14f));

}

Este es un ejemplo en Kotlin:
private lateinit var mMap: GoogleMap

override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap
        // Agrega Marcador a Guadalajara, Mexico,
        // y mueve la camara a la posición
    val guadalajara = LatLng(20.66, -103.36)
    mMap.addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(guadalajara).title("Guadalajara"))
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(guadalajara))
  }

What a fabulous day at Chelsea again. I do love the theatrical horticultural buzz; I am pulled towards it every year.
The most special moments for me are always catching up with old and new friends, especially from my years at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
It is also nice but strange; how many people that I recognise now due to Social Networking sites, sometimes, we have never met before but they feel like close like-minded companions due to regular virtual updates and fascinating horticultural conversation.
Above is a picture that I took of the water storage inspired garden designed by Hugo Bugg; the youngest Chelsea Gold Winner. It was nice to see some new young designers at the show.
Above is a picture that I took of the gorgeous Le Tour de Yorkshire artisan garden designed by Alistair W Baldwin. I really loved the effect of the recycled bike wheels fixed into a section of the back wall giving a dramatic change in texture.
I usually find that I see more ideas and inspiration in the Artisan gardens at Chelsea, it is probably because the designers have such a small area to make an impact and that with the 'artisan' title the gardens are generally more craft-creative. I have to say that over all, the show gardens seemed to be playing it "safe", but, of course it is a competition and everyone wants a gold.
Since Chelsea, it has been 'crazy-planting time' in the garden plus quite unbelievably having to deal with a spurt of early fresh growth from plants meaning that summer-pruning of climbers like Wisteria, Vines and Roses is being encouraged much sooner than normal. This will be done whilst dreaming of Chelsea Flower Show 2015.

'56 Up': Latest in 'Up' series is a look in mirror
Nick, one of the "everyman" participants in Michael Apted's documentary series "Up," as seen in the latest installment, "56 Up."
Stan Hall, Special to The Oregonian
"It isn't really the picture or essence of Nick or Suzy, it's a picture of Everyman. It's how a person, any person, how they change ... it's a picture of somebody."
Leave it to Nick, one of the subjects of the landmark "Up" documentary series, to get to the heart of why "56 Up," and indeed the entire series, starting with "7 Up," is so affecting and profound.
Every seven years since 1964, when they were 7 years old, participants from an original group of 14 Britons from a variety of class backgrounds have been visited by filmmaker Michael Apted (one dropped out after "21 Up" and is no longer mentioned). Apted, who himself is now in his 70s, interviews the participants about what's been going on in their lives and how they feel about who they were, where they are now and who they still might become.
Watching these gently probing, masterfully edited sequences, we see how they've changed both physically and emotionally -- but also haven't changed at all -- and think about our own struggles, dreams and growing paunches.
Unlike most reality-based television and film these days, "Up" has always been utterly real and from the heart, despite (or perhaps because of) its participants' general ambivalence toward the films. Most of its subjects (notably taciturn homemaker Suzy, emotionally troubled but extraordinarily candid Neil and stuffy-yet-generous John) see their roles as an unchosen duty to be endured, which erases any vanity or self-aggrandizing. That's why the return of Peter after a 28-year absence, explicitly to promote his alt-country band, sounds the sole sour, cynical note.
Every profile is fascinating, but certain ones stand out. Neil, whose undefined mental torment has left many fans fearing for his sanity or even his life, is still solitary but thriving in his own way.
We learn that Symon, who never knew his father and was living in a children's home at age 7, has been a foster parent (along with his amazingly motivated wife) to more than 65 children.
We see the toll the recession has taken on several subjects, especially Jackie, who despite middle age and severe rheumatoid arthritis has to look for work due to austerity-induced disability benefit cuts.
Some are dealing with the loss or imminent loss of their parents. Several participants have become grandparents. Life is moving along.
Last this time around is the always-garrulous Tony, a Cockney cabbie who now spends much of his time soaking up rays in Spain. The end of his sequence comes as a spectacular, gratifying surprise.
See you again in 7 years, friends.

The mission of Nicholson Builders is to offer the finest construction experience through innovative design, exceptional service, quality craftsmanship, trustworthy communication and lasting relationships.
The people of Nicholson Builders will make every effort to demonstrate the courage of their convictions and do what is right. Doing what is right is of the highest priority. It transcends current circumstances, natural inclinations and personal knowledge.
Nicholson Builders is committed to excellence. For the company to attain excellence, the people of Nicholson Builders need to do likewise. Excellence is the result of high character merging with high competence. We must be willing to communicate honestly, inviting and positively receiving the encouragement, criticism, counsel and wisdom of others to achieve our goal.
Nicholson Builders is committed to the service of others both internal and external. This requires us to be truly compassionate and consider others before ourselves. We must demonstrate humility, admit errors, seek reconciliation, and make every effort to foster relationships of mutual respect among ourselves, with our clients and our trade partners.
Nicholson Builders' people have a desire to continuously learn and be challenged. We will foster an environment of patient, teaching relationships to advance the experience and knowledge of those around us.
Most entrepreneurs feel driven to their vocation; the extraordinarily successful may even feel they've been led to opportunities by– and for– a higher purpose. That is certainly the case with Bill Nicholson, President of Nicholson Builders.
Nicholson Builders has witnessed amazing growth since 2003. We have now won multiple awards and completed hundreds of remodeling projects in the Columbus area.
The Nicholson Builders remodeling process starts with you and ends with you. Once you have decided to have Nicholson propose a remodeling solution for your home, we will meet with you at your residence in order to get a feel for your unique situation. We listen to your needs, desires, and any frustrations you may have with your current home in order to create the perfect design for you.
After discussing your ideas and our ideas, we will take measurements and photos of your house and property. After returning to our office, we then digitally recreate your existing home in order to provide an immersive, three-dimensional, digital environment in which we can essentially remodel your home before we ever actually show up to your house with a toolbelt.
Throughout the design process, we will be in frequent communication with you to let you know our progress and the direction we are heading in with your project.
After settling on the design we feel is right for you, we will meet to discuss it, get feedback from you, and make any revisions necessary.
Once you approve of the final design, we will begin to create "construction documents" . Normally we are required to submit these drawings to the local building authority for review and authorization to build. Once we submit the documents, it may take anywhere from 2-5 weeks to get the approval to begin work on your home.
After you we have received approval from the local building authority to commence construction on the remodeling of your home, we will setup our job sign on your property and get to work. We pride ourselves in keeping a clean jobsite, so you will not have to worry about cleaning up after the contractors that will be visiting your home each day.
Throughout the construction process, the project manager in the field, as well as the design consultant in the office, will be in contact with you about all facets of your project and how it is going in order to see that you receive the best service and remodeling experience available.
Nicholson Builders is passionate about remodeling and we are excited about the opportunity to work with you and help you see your remodeling dreams come to life before your eyes.

Terms of a new contract signed by the City of Coral Gables designate the collection of UM's trash and garbage to be handled by an outside firm.
United Sanitation, Inc. took over the function from the city at the beginning of the month. It has been eshmated that UM will have to pay as much as $30,000 more annually for the service.
The city quit picking up trash and garbage for all its commercial accounts because it
became too expensive to do it," Assistant Business Manager for Central Services Matthew Borek said.
"The city bidded out to different firms, and United happened to be the lowest bidder."
He said the contract's terms are that UM will have to keep United for a minimum of two years and that the city has to approve all contracts for these services within the city limits.
Borek said there hasn't been enough time to know exactly what the increased costs will be, but that it might be in the range of "$30,000 more a year."
"I'm just guessing at that figure, but it will

definitely be costing us much, much more,"
Borek said an effort to "recoup some of the c' ¡icnses" by selling recyclable paper has not be- n successful so far. Meanwhile, additional employees had to be hired to collect the trash from individual buildings and transport it to a v pactor located behind the Engineering School.
"We haven't had enough clean trash to take down yet, and there's only one compactor on - ampus," Borek said. "Paper price fluctuates so it isn't worth it. all the time."
He said the two or three firms that recycle
papet pay approximately 50 cents for every 100 pounds collected.
Last week, he said a whole truckload of paper was sold for $15 and that much more was spent in terms of time and effort to collect it.
Borek said students should be aware that all trash must now be placed inside containers.
"United will not pick up anything sitting outside the containers like the city used to do," he said, "The students must be educated about this because it is a potential health problem if things are left lying around."
Borek said he urges everyone to separete trash and garbage so that the ejean trash can be collected and sold for recycling.

The Governor Speak« On l M's Patio
. . . flumping for next month'» election
Reubin Askew:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii>iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
By DAVE TEPPS
Governor Rpubin Askew, up for re-election next month, wound up a swing through Miami with some old-fashioned campaign stumping on the UM Patio Friday.
Saying that "simple honesty Is all that's required to serve in public office," Askew called for full financial disclo-sure by all candidates running for political posts.
Askew said he has done so, but implied that his Republican opponent in the November gubernatorial race, .lerry Thomas, had not been so candid.
Admitting that legislation with enough teeth to enforce full disclosure might constitute an invasion of privacy, Askew still condoned it. "Mayhe it takes an extraordinary law," he said.
A crowd of several hundred heard Askew recite his record of providing lax relief for citizens of Florida in the last four years. But he did more than talk about his past work in introducing a relatively stiff corporate income tax here; he oflered his solution for the ever-present gas crisis.
Simple Honesty'
In the same almost populist vein in which he has spoken in the past, Askew called for a windfall profits tax on the oil companies In suggesting these burdens on big business, Askew noted that his tax programs have caused no loss of business in Florida. He added that he will meet with federal officials next week to discuss sanctions against oil produi ers, which Florida depends on.
On an ideal day for an outdoor speech, with clear skies but a stiff bree/e, Askew solicited the student vote in next month's election. He said because of Ins complete financial disclosures, he is not obligated "to any soul" more than another.
But he chided students for their historical lack of interest in voting, and reminded them that he was one of the original advocates here of the 18-year-old vote.
Referring to his advocacy of busing to achieve racial balance and prison reform, Askew said, "I've taken some un popular stands, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

Faculty Set To Vote On Unionization Plan
Hurrican« Editor
UM's faculty is now closer to becoming a union than ever before.
By the end of this month full-time faculty on the main campus here will vote to decide whether or not they want to form a union, with its attendant rights of collective bargaining. University sources said Friday.
Run under the auspices of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the vote will he conducted in secret, and will not include members of the schools of law, medicine or marine and atmospheric science, the NLRB said.
Thus, the NLRB has decided against the University administration, which had favored that all faculty be included in the vote.
Edward Coll, UIVT vice president for developmental affairs, admitted that the University is firmly against unionization. Coll is the UM spokesman on this subject.
But Dr. Richard Abraham, Spanish professor and the spokesman for the • American Association of University Professors (AAL'P), was delighted with the derision.
"We won everything we asked for," Abraham said in describing the voting unit which he thinks will easily result In a "yes" vote for unionization on October 29 and 30.
"I'm sure we're going to win," Abraham said in referring to supporters of unionization. "We had support before."
Coll said the administration opposes unionization because it hurts the atmosphere of "collegiality" on campus, and discriminates against faculty members who are not allowed to vote. The administration has also repeatedly asserted that unionization and collective bargaining would result in unreasonable salary demands which students would have to pay for with increased tuition.
Abraham disputes all these allegations.
He said a better atmo-
sphere would result after unionization, because decisions would be negotiated among all concerned.
The NLRB statement on the voting unit refutes the administration's argument that medical school faculty be included.
"The average salary of the medical school faculty is substantially above that received bv personnel in any of the (main campus) schools and the highest medical school salaries are
almost double the highest salaries paid to members of other faculties," the NLRB said
"The UM faculty is very underpaid," Abraham contended. "According to our survey UM is the lowest paid of the five major universities in Florida."
Abraham also disputed the contention that a tuition hike would be caused by a union.
"No salary raise will be
financed by an increase in students' tuition," Abraham said. He added that one of the goals of the AAUP is to hold down tuition.
But the administration has said in the past that increased salaries "have to come from somewhere."
The vote is scheduled to take place October 29-30 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., in Brockway Lecture hall. A night vote will probably be added, from 7-8:30 p.m. one of the two days.

But, somewhere in the audience there Is an unsung hero. She sits proudly In her chair enjoying her pupil's success. She is the music teacher — the I.ina Maddafords of this world.
A thin hut meticulously dressed woman, who has been surrounded by music and musicians all her life (both her husband and daughter were singers), Maddaford is an institution at the UM School of Music.
"I came here in 1951, because Dr. Arturo di Filippi had asked me to," she said. "This was a very exciting time, for Miami was growing and With it. its culture."
It was at this time that the late Dr. Di Filippi was beginning to build the now well-reputed Opera Guild of Greater Miami.
"He worked very hard to bring opera to this city," she said. "Sometimes a tenor was needed and he would step in and take the role himself."
According to Mrs. Maddaford, Miami is now one of the leading American cities in opera besides New York, Chicago and San Francisco. She feels this past season was one of the best.
Apart from Music, Maddaford has another love — hats.
"Don't you like hats?"
she asks. "I think they are quite elegant myself. My father was Italian and he used to wear herets, mayhe
that's where my love for hats began."
She has had up to four dozen hats at a time and especially likes the big-brimmed type She was noticed by The Herald when she wore her black and white ostrich feather crea

But what about the unsung hero. I* she really taken for granted by her students once they reach the top?
"Not at all," she said. "They always come hark to you and make an effort to never lose contact with you. At least that has been my experience."
Further proof of this is the myriad of pictures which (over the walls and grandpiano of her tiny music room. They are all autographed for Lina, the teacher and the friend.
She feels a teacher should go beyond the honks and must not forget the great needs of the students. She theorizes that a teacher's adequate advice will help to steer the students In the future.
"Teachers arp bridges that students pass over," she said. "If Ihe bridge i* strong it can he used again, the solid foundation is what counts."
Adria Firestone, a mezzo-soprano just beginning to come oul into the professional world agrees with Maddaford and fepls that she is a teacher in the real sense of the word, not just an instructor.
"She will go to all her student's performances and really becomes dedicated to them," she said. "We have a beautifully close relationship, for I have taken lessons with her since I was very young."
Maddaford becomes as exited as Firestone does, when a new note is reached or a distinct phrasing achieved.
"I don't create anything," she declares "all I do is develop what's there. You know, you can't fly a 747 j by just silling in and driving off."

Invitation To Actor Glenn Ford Results In Hostility
By VALERIE STRAUSS
N«wg Editor
Wilh all the 'glamour' of a Hollywood contract hassle, actor Glenn Ford has broken off talks with UM's homecoming committee over appearing in their parade.
Charges of broken promises and bungling on both sides contribute to the movie magazine quality of the Homecoming snafu.
It all began last May when Homecoming Parade Chairman Stephen Troy decided to continue years of tradition, and invite what he calls "a big name" to ride in the November 5 Homecoming Parade as Grand Marshall.
He wrote to about 75 people in search of the right name, who would also accept the right financial terms. Bob Hope was certainly popular enough, hut the $25,000 he collects (which hr donates to charity) wasn't. Troy estimates he received over 25 replies, most with a "thanks hut no thanks''.
In July Troy received a letter from a Cynthia Hayward, secretary-girlfriend to actor Glenn Ford. Hayward wrote that "Glenn and I . . . would be delighted to attend", as long as "first class air transportation from Los
Angeles" and accomodations were provided during the visit. There was no additional fee.
"What he was asking came to about $1,500, and I called them and tnld them they were on." Trnv said "Since lie said they could arrive whenever we needed them, we decided to have Ihem participate in additional Homecoming activities, and we wrote to ask their consent We didn't think there would he any problem."
That was just the beginning of the problem. Hayward wrote hack on August 31, saying "we would be most happy to attend, . . provided our publicity man, Bill Karp, and his wife accompany us . . " with Homecoming footing all the bills.
Troy responded to this letter with a phone call, explaining to Ford that lie could not provide transportation for Bill Karp's wife, hut could provide accomodations for the both of them during their stay. This apparently did not sit too well with Ford, who is known for his hot temper.
"He started raising his voice, and began questioning what we meant by first class accomodations," Troy said.
"Ford said this sounds like a mighty cheap operation, and you better tell me what you are offering." After we hung up, I knew I was dealing with a winner. Anyone knows what first (lass is. What does he consider them to he anyway, if he was slaying at a Holiday Inn once when I had to contact him in Georgia?"
Troy said he told Ford he had arranged for them to stay at the King's Bay Yacht Club. Hayward insists Troy said nothing of the kind.
"He never told us where we were going to stay. All he kept saying was that he liked Glenn'i movies. Well, that's fine and dandy, hut ha was very evasive about everything else." Hayward said
"The whole thing was handled by a very immature person. Glenn was doing the university a favor. He normally gels paid between $5-19,000 for an appearance Troy just doesn't understand that when you're dealing with Glenn Ford, you have to be careful.
"The problem was that he never got down and said 'this is what we want period'. He kept adding more and

Adress: Bleijenbeek, Afferden, The Netherlands.
Bleijenbeek Castle
Bleijenbeek Castle, locally known as Kasteel Bleijenbeek, lies near the village of Afferden, in the Limburg province in the Netherlands.
Bleijenbeek Castle was built around 1350 as a moated farm with a simple keep. A Van Mirlaer family resided there.
In 1405 the castle became property of a Wynant Schenck. During the 15th century the keep was replaced by a heavier square keep and the castle was enlarged by a residential hall, a curtain wall and two corner towers; a square and a round one. Also in the 16th century the castle was enlarged with another residential building and new moats.
In 1579 the castle was occupied by Maarten Schenck van Nydeggen. In 1589 it was severely damaged and plundered during a siege by the Spaniards.
During the 17th century the castle was radically altered. A lot of the medieval architectural details disappeared as it was rebuilt, reusing the old building material, as a stately mansion. It are mostly the remains of this building period we see today.
In 1872 the castle was a Jesuit convent and a chapel was built at the west side of the castle. In 1911 a fire struck the bailey. It burned down but was rebuilt shortly after. In 1917 the castle was property of a merchant from Rotterdam, W. Prins. He sold it to the Jurgens family from Nijmegen.
The castle was destroyed in 1945 when it was bombed. It was never rebuilt and fell to ruin.
At present the ruin of Bleijenbeek Castle is being consolidated. It can be visited for a small fee.

Pearl Harbor was the site of an event that changed not only the United States but the world. December 7th, 1941 marks the fateful day the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting base on the island of Oahu. The shocking offensive left 2,403 dead and over 1,000 wounded. The Japanese onslaught also forced America out of its stance of isolation and into war production, eventually shifting the tide of history in favor of the United States and her allies.
