In cooperation with the City of Edmonton and pursuant to the Capital City Downtown Plan (1997), Art & Design in Public Places (The Places) was first introduced by the Edmonton Business Council for Visual Arts (The Council) in 1998. Subsequently, the development of the program was more than a year in the making and was launched in November 1999 as a community based, multi-partner initiative designed to help revitalize Edmonton's downtown through the placement of publicly and privately funded works of art and design.
Recognizing that urban beautification enhances the overall environment in which residents live and work, The Places improves social and economic conditions in the community by introducing art and design projects each year. The Places raises the profile and livability of Downtown and is used as a model for other areas of the City, increasing attractiveness for business, residents, and tourists alike.
The Downtown Business Association is the Host Organization for The Places under the Capital City Downtown Plan with The Works International Visual Arts Society (The Society) providing Executive Directorship for the overall program. Mechanisms are in place to encourage community involvement, overall transparency and accountability in the selection of art and design projects for development. Artists or designers are awarded commissions after local, provincial or national competitions are held. The Places partners with the Edmonton Arts Council as required in the review and selection of the competition entries through a two-stage community jury process. The Works Society provides Project Management and contracts the successful artist or designer to complete the commissions.
The Places has surpassed its initial goal of completing 15 projects (2.3 million value) in a 5-year period and has now raised over 7.3 million in funding invested into The Places (cash and in kind contributions) developing over 65 projects. The Founding and Ongoing Partners for The Places include The City of Edmonton, the Edmonton Journal, the Downtown Business Association and The Edmonton Business Council for Visual Arts.
This Project is funded in part by the Government of Canada, with matching investments from partners: the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the City of Edmonton; and support from the Downtown Business Association, and The Works Society.
Alberta Artists will create five original sculptural works of art. The sculptures will bring meaning to Capital Boulevard by creating lasting landmarks, and will become part of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection.
The five Artworks will be a legacy for Canada's 150th anniversary. Alberta artists will contribute to the interpretation and storytelling of Canada's past, present and future. The sculptures will reflect Canadian landscapes, culture, history and/or values such as diversity, inclusion, reconciliation and inspiring youth. The artworks will be a symbol of community collaboration and partnership as citizens come together for Canada 150.
Capital Boulevard encompasses five blocks of 108th Street between 99th Avenue and 104th Avenue. Centennial Plaza is located south of the intersection at 99th Avenue and 108th Street. The City of Edmonton has built five focal points, one per block, designated to be prominent sites for "primary public art & design works". These five focal points (sites) are positioned in the mid-block along Capital Boulevard, allowing for pedestrian and vehicular traffic to flow around them on all sides (vehicles moving North-South and pedestrians East-West).
The Capital Boulevard Re-Design was a renovation project to complement the Government of Alberta's restoration of the Federal Building and the creation of the new Centennial Plaza. The new ceremonial 108th street highlights the connection of the Provincial Legislature to Alberta's capital city and celebrates the shared history between Alberta and Edmonton, while providing a grand view from the Alberta Legislature to MacEwan University.
The Places acquired original artworks for display in the 9Triple8 Jasper Building public lobbies, situated at the corner of 99th Street and Jasper Avenue. Through the artworks selected, the choice of materials, concept and subject matter complement the new lobby space while reflecting on Alberta's economy, culture, landscape and spirit. The six established and emerging contemporary Alberta artists showcased are: Sandra Bromley, Steve Coffey, Nicole Galellis, Glenn Guillet, Al Reynold and Lucas Seaward.
The Works Public Art Gallery, in partnership with Shaw Conference Centre, showcases the talent and creative energy of the arts community in Edmonton and its surrounding regions. The first exhibit features the artwork of Glenn Guillet.
The Places Sculpture by Invitation Program gets large-scale sculptures out of the studio and onto the streets. The program celebrates the creativity thriving in Edmonton's arts community and surrounding regions.
The Places continued its eighth year of The Sculpture By Invitation Program at Shaw Conference Centre, which exhibits sculpture at a street level within the Shaw Conference Centre DREAM.big Plaza. Currently showing is "Susan Owen Kagan: A Retrospective" featuring five sculptures spanning over four decades.
The newest location for The Sculpture by Invitation Program is the recently redeveloped Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) headquarters. Three artists from Edmonton and the surrounding region were selected to display one piece each in the group exhibition. The featured artists are: Mark Bellows, Katherine Sicotte and Rob Willms.
The Edmonton Neon Sign Museum was developed by The City of Edmonton, the Alberta Sign Association, TELUS, the Downtown Business Association and The Places. The museum celebrates the history of neon signage in the city, and creates an engaging outdoor space for cultural tourism as part of the bustling 104th Street Promenade. Launched in February 2014 with the installation of 8 restored historic neon signs, the museum will continue to grow as additional signs - a goal of 30 total - are added in the coming years. Each current sign has an accompanying plaque with text panels, speaking to the history of Edmonton.
Installed Winter 2013/14, the 95th Street Art Banners Project is comprised of 52 sculptural art banners featuring imagery created by Edmonton Artist/Designer Dennis Lenarduzzi. The dynamic large-scale metal art banners greet visitors to McCauley with the slogans "Meet Me in McCCauley" and "Benvenuti," creating one-of-of-kind visual identifiers for 95th Street and enhancing the streetscape of Little Italy.
The Places Education Initiatives to date include: a total of 225 Scholarships awarded annually at The Council's Event - The Works Summer Solstice Gala ; a total of twenty Internships have been completed under The Places Internship Program, under the direction of the Executive Director, a Lecture Series introducing national and international artists, designers and architects to Edmonton audiences; Conferences and Symposia; Temporary Public Art Installations; and a year-round, self-guided, Public Art Walking Tour featuring a selection of works of art and design produced by The Places.

PDF Steps and Settings | PrintologyTX - Printing. Design. Simplified.
Here are directions and pdf settings for creating PDF files that are optimally print-ready. With Illustrator and InDesign, as long as you have added the bleed area in your file properly, these directions will automatically add crop marks and the bleed area into your file. You'll see those when you open your final pdf in Acrobat.
If you intend to have a bleed, you need to set the bleed settings in the document set up of your file before creating the pdf. To add the bleed area in Illustrator, go to File: Document Setup, and make your file size the exact trim size you want. Then set the "Bleed" area to .125". With this bleed area set, you'll see a red line around the document. That is your bleed area. Enlarge all bleed items (graphics or photos) that you want to go to the edge of the page, extending them to the outer edge of the red lines. Keep in mind that the bleed area will be trimmed off.
Be sure to keep all important text inward from the edge .25", or at least .125". And, save a copy of your file as an "outlined" file, then outline all the fonts used (Type : Create Outlines) to keep them properly embedded in the pdf you are about to make.
General: Check only "Preserve Illustrator Editing" and "Optimize for Fast Web"
Marks and Bleeds: Choose Trim Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. NONE of the other marks are necessary.
Output: Choose "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)", "U.S. Sheetfed Coated V2" and "Include Destination Profiles"
If you intend to have a bleed, you need to set the bleed settings in the document set-up of your file before creating the pdf. To add the bleed area in InDesign, make your file size the exact trim size you want. Then go to File: Document Setup, and if you don't see the "Bleed and Slug" area at the bottom, then click on "More Options". Then, in the "Bleed" boxes, type in .125. With this bleed area set, you'll see a red line around the document. That is your bleed area. Enlarge all bleed items (graphics or photos) that you want to go to the edge of the page, extending them to the outer edge of the red lines. Keep in mind that the bleed area will be trimmed off.
Be sure to keep all important text inward from the edge .25", or at least .125".
Save a copy of your file as an "outlined" file, then outline all the fonts used to keep them properly embedded in the pdf you are about to make.
General: Check only "Optimize for Fast Web View"
Unfortunately, Photoshop is not the best option to use for creating a final pdf for printing, but you can sort of work around that. (Illustrator or Indesign are recommended.) Make sure that your file is set to the bleed size (For instance, 3.75 x 2.25 for a 3.5x2 trim size), and then make sure all objects that you want to show are inward from the 3.5x2 edge by about 1/4". These sizes will be different for different products. Don't worry about ending up with crop marks in your final PDF. Also, make sure your file is CMYK (not RGB).
Save a copy to preserve your original work if you need to flatten the image in the Layers palette.
If you have transparency in your file, it is highly recommended that you flatten your art work to avoid color issues. But, to preserve vector text, DO NOT flatten your work. This is one reason why setting text in Photoshop is not the best option.
Do "Save As" and choose pdf (name the file, etc.) Uncheck the box that embeds a color profile. Click SAVE.
General: Check only "Preserve Photoshop Editing" and "Optimize for Fast Web"
Output: Choose "Convert to Destination", "Working CMYK - U.S. Sheetfed Coated V2" and "Include Destination Profiles"

Loowatt: The waterless toilet generating energy from waste
We've all been there, crossing our legs in the crowd as our favourite band tears up the stage, putting off the inevitable trip. Eventually, however, we all have to admit defeat and give in to the reveller's worst nightmare: The Festival Portaloo.
Combining a minimalistic design with some innovative engineering, industrial design engineer Virginia Gardiner has found the answer to festivalgoer's prayers. Loowatt is an environmentally friendly, waterless-flushing toilet, bringing high-tech hygiene to the campsite; the award-winning design captures waste and turns it into clean, green electricity.
With the purchase of each Loowatt festival wristband, music enthusiasts can access luxuriously clean toilet facilities kitted out with biodegradable soaps, lotions and hair products, not to mention all the toilet roll they can dream of.
Generating (very) clean energy
Loowatt's ingenious patented technology features a biodegradable polymer film that lines the 'bowl' of the toilet. When 'flushed', the liner is pulled through the mechanism, sealing waste inside the film and locking in odour and bacteria. The biodegradable film is stored in the housing of the toilet, while the sealing and storage system runs without power, meaning toilets can be taken completely off-grid.
The storage cartridge is emptied either daily or weekly, depending on usage, and waste is fed into a 'digester' to be broken down and turned into electricity.
Turning poo into power is a surprisingly low-tech process, using anaerobic bacteria. Inside the digester, bacteria feed off the waste in an oxygen-free environment. As they break down organic matter, the bacteria release methane, carbon dioxide and other trace gasses. The composition of the 'biogas' produced is similar to that of natural gas, a fossil fuel that we mine from the Earth's crust.
Biogas can then be used to feed generators or drive turbines used to produce electricity. The gas itself is 'clean burning', meaning it converts back to carbon dioxide and water vapour, rather than the toxic gases released by burning fossil fuels.
Sustainable sanitation for all
As well as feeling festival-fresh, Loowatt's users are helping to improve access to sanitation where it is most needed.
Loowatt began to serve communities in Madagascar in 2012, rolling out a pilot public toilet and treatment scheme in Antananarivo. As Madagascar's capital, the city experiences high population density and inadequate sanitation infrastructure. Waste water is frequently pumped directly into waterways, which in turn are used for gathering drinking water.
Loowatt's 'Roso' toilet uses the same patented waterless technology as seen in the luxury loos and can be built into toilets of any shape and size. It can even be retrofitted to 'off the shelf' units, reducing cost and improving accessibility to the technology. With each festival wristband purchased in the UK, Loowatt is able to deliver high-standard sanitation without the need for electricity or plumbing.
In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, the toilets are also designed to be linked to anaerobic digestion technology. The resulting biogas can then be used for cooking, heating water for washing and charging mobiles phones. An additional by-product of the system is fertiliser for crops. Rather than ejecting waste into waterways or incurring high costs to dispose of it safely, Loowatt's system reverses costs, allowing communities to profit from waste.
The 'waste-to-value' system is currently being trialled with 100 pilot households across Antananarivo, funded by grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's 'Grand Challenges Explorations' initiative. For cities that lack toilets and sanitation infrastructure, Loowatt's technology can drastically improve health and boost local economies. It is currently available to residents of Antananarivo for home purchase.
Back in the UK, Loowatt has expanded its fleet, kitting out 7 trailers with the waterless system. The luxury loos have appeared at festivals across the country, taking the stage at Latitude, Wilderness, Port Eliot festival and the Lambeth country show. Continuing their festival tour in 2017, the company also cleaned up at the Festival Supplier Awards earlier this year, scooping the gong for 'Green Festival Supplier'.

A Dangerous Mistake Uncovered on Chicago Bulls And How to Avoid It
By the end of the game, the Timberwolves — a team that was trounced in blowouts on a West Coast trip just last week — have been gleefully dancing. At the finish of the period, the Wolves led comfortably, , thanks to a advantage. That 113-point sum by way of three periods represents a season-high for Minnesota, thanks to just some terrible, disengaged Bulls defense. Like the New York Knicks ahead of them, the Minnesota Timberwolves got to appear like the Golden State Warriors from deep tonight thanks to some ineffective Bulls defense on the perimeter. six.Plus, for what ever it is worth, the Bulls also committed 11 turnovers in this game.
This final one particular is now of even much more significance given Lonzo Ball's uncertain health status. What follows here are three expectations I have for the upcoming Chicago Bulls season. My expectations are informed by what I've seen this group and certain players accomplish and what they're capable of, combined with the hope that they keep healthier all year. Even though I entirely understand why there's explanation to be down on the Chicago Bulls, they are nonetheless a major X-aspect in the Eastern Conference. Most analysts see them as a definite play-in team, unsure if they'll even be capable to make it into the playoffs.
Even a lot more exceptional than Booker's point total was his efficiency. He shot 20 of 25 from the field, going 6 of 7 from 3-point variety. He is the second player over the final 25 years with 50 points and 80% shooting via the initially three quarters of a game, joining James Harden in 2017, according to ESPN Stats and Info. This was yet another game where the Bulls located themselves down double digits early, fought back to take a slight lead, only to nonetheless not get the finish outcome they wanted. Down the stretch in regulation, the Bulls made several defensive stops such as forcing a shot clock violation in the Knicks last try.
It was in 1994 that the team moved to their present dwelling venue at United Center. Tickets to the upcoming games will be accessible to acquire on the web. Not that much wasn't anticipated because Jordan was an NCAA champion at the University of North Carolina and star of the 1984 gold medal winning USA Basketball team. But it was an era of centers in the NBA and Jordan was not the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. Guards had never ever been the dominant player on a championship group and two centers have been selected prior to him. As much as the brilliant shooting of Stephen Curry has adjust the arc of talent in the NBA, it was Jordan's effect which got teams believing they could hyperlink up a scoring guard with winning a championship.
As a basketball fan, you want to see a fully healthful Bulls roster. But the news continues to be ominous concerning Ball's existing injury. Ball's injury has been a single of the largest mysteries of the NBA. He was initially slated to only miss a couple of weeks, but there's now an expectation that he will miss coaching camp and the start of this season.
Durant holds the fourth-highest scoring average in league history at 27.three points per game, trailing only Michael Jordan (30.1), Wilt Chamberlain (30.1) and Elgin Baylor (27.4). Although Jordan and Wilt may possibly be out of reach, Durant does have a chance to pass Baylor if he can continue to score at this price. The Bulls will also bring back well-liked ticket and concession offerings, including Family members Ticket Packs, Bulls Student Pass and the Beginning 5 Menu with $five menu offerings on select Monday games, all presented by BMO. This season, fans will have an enhanced digital expertise within the all-new Bulls App presented by AT&T scheduled to launch on Sept. 23. New functions will contain Stories, updates to the well-liked limited-edition Bulls Drops and the Bulls' very first ever in-seat purchasing experience at the United Center in collaboration with Klarna. Terry has noticed action in 11 of the team's 27 games this season.
"His job is to manage and control the game. And so, I feel that is what he does pretty properly. And I assume Jules helps with that as properly — and RJ does, too, but Jalen's the point guard. He's the guy in charge of all of it." His absence since final January has played a significant factor in this Bulls' slide, a slide that requires to be stopped or significant modifications may well be unavoidable. But as in the case of Paxson moving off of Wallace in 2008, at times lost seasons dictate new lines of considering. And as for trades, executive vice president Artūras Karnišovas has shown no indications of creating a significant deal to this point. Specially since, given the amount of draft capital expended to assemble this roster, the Bulls aren't necessarily brimming with tradable assets. It really is just a media website that takes place to cover MLB, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Bulls, and the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Bulls are now facing the prospects of playing Game 5 with out their beginning backcourt for the very first 4 games of this series. —that four minutes into the game trailing 13- coach John Bryant benched four of the 5 starters, like rookie first-round draft choose Dalen Terry. Denver would go on to outscore Chicago 19-8 down the last stretch of the half, taking a lead into the break. The third quarter played out like the rest of the game, exactly where the Bulls would fall in a hole and only partially climb out behind bench units, and the game was all but over by the finish of the third quarter.
Permitting D'Antoni to radically adjust this offense and after once more function his magic is one particular of extremely couple of realistically viable routes to creating this group a contender once again. For that explanation, I'd put D'Antoni at or at least near the major of the Bulls' want list, should really they opt to move on from Donovan. Amongst all the options the Chicago Bulls may perhaps potentially have at their disposal if they element strategies sneak a peek at this web-site with Donovan, former Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson could be my preferred of the bunch. The Bulls are far from the only exceptional culture Griffin has played a part in. Immediately after short stops in Orlando and Oklahoma City, Griffin has found a dwelling with the Toronto Raptors for the final 5 years. The identical Raptors that have found diamonds in the rough year after year and created 1 of the most regularly competitive teams in the NBA.
This best-rated game is scheduled to take location soon on 24 Oct at United Center in Chicago. You can only think about how several persons in the city will want to be part of the upcoming occasion. If you do, waste no thoughts on obtaining Bulls Vs Celtics tickets. If you are in Chicago and you'd like to catch as lots of sports as achievable, the United Center app can also come in valuable if you choose to invest in tickets to catch the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL rink too.
Choosing an all-time beginning five for any basketball team is a tough job. The Chicago Bulls have a plethora of terrific players who have left their mark on NBA history, producing the job of deciding upon 5 to start out even harder. But Alex Caruso has managed to do it in a surprising way by picking an all-time Bulls' starting five that you would not anticipate. Dosunmu is averaging 10.2 points, three.three rebounds and 2.8 assists, shooting 51.7 % from the field and 34.2 percent from three-point variety in 27.six minutes more than 25 games this season.

Program Reflects Evolution to Align Initiatives For Physicians to Maintain Board Certification, Improve Patient Care
CHICAGO – December 9, 2015 – The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) today announced that the new, North Carolina Maintenance of Certification (NC MOC) program, based at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine (UNC), has joined the ABMS' Multi-Specialty Portfolio Approval Program (Portfolio Program). UNC physicians who are Board Certified by one of the 20 ABMS Member Boards participating in the Portfolio Program may now obtain ABMS Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credit for participation in organizational quality improvement (QI) initiatives. The new NC MOC Program is one of 59 Portfolio Program participants which include hospitals, health systems, medical societies and healthcare organizations from across the country.
"We are pleased to be an ABMS Multi-specialty Portfolio Program participant and provide MOC Part IV credit to a large number of physicians within the UNC Health Care System," said Warren P. Newton, MD, MPH, Vice Dean of the UNC School of Medicine and Director of the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Program and Chair of Family Medicine in the UNC School of Medicine.
The UNC Medical Center Improvement Council oversees quality improvement within the organization and will manage the NC MOC Program. The NC MOC Program team will work closely with the Improvement Council to facilitate and build skills in improvement science while offering MOC Part IV credit to approved QI projects at the UNC Medical Center. These QI initiatives locally initiated and implemented organization-wide, will benefit UNC patients as well as provide valuable learning opportunities for the more than 2,200 participating physicians. The intent is to spread the program later across the state through NC AHEC.
"The Portfolio Program was developed to offer Board Certified physicians the opportunity to obtain MOC credit for QI initiatives they are participating in at their institutions, or in their practices and across a multitude of specialties," said David W. Price, MD, FAAFP, FACEHP, Executive Director of the Portfolio Program. "UNC's commitment to engaging their physicians in MOC QI activities is evident in their establishment of this new program and will have a direct impact on improving patient safety and care."
"The NC MOC Program will help coordinate and elevate the University's substantial quality improvement efforts to affect overall systematic changes," said Michael Pignone, leader of UNC's Institute for Health Quality Improvement. "We have identified common high priority performance improvement interventions, which include all of the Institute of Medicine's six dimensions*, and believe that participation in the ABMS Portfolio Program will encourage our faculty to participate."
"We are pleased to have UNC not only join our Portfolio Program but make it a key element in their QI program" said ABMS President and Chief Executive Officer, Lois Margaret Nora, MD, JD, MBA. "The growth of our Portfolio Program and its diverse participant population are proof of its importance and value in engaging physicians in meaningful QI and Patient Safety initiatives, and of ABMS' commitment to offering relevant and meaningful MOC programming to Member Board diplomates."
To date, the Portfolio Program has helped engage more than 6,000 physicians in QI initiatives at hospitals and health systems across the country (many showing improvement in care outcomes) and has recognized their participation with MOC-eligible credit. Since its inception, more than 7,500 QI initiatives have been completed by Portfolio Program participants.

Scottish Conservatism: Stoking the Constitutional Fire by Jon Adamson
I attended one of the counts for the Scottish Parliamentary Elections in 2016 where, not uncommonly, I witnessed the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) holding onto one of their seats with a stable majority. However, what was not common that evening was seeing the Conservative candidate's vote share increase so much that she leapt to second position on the constituency vote.
In her post result speech, she proclaimed that 'we're back.' Those words not only echoed around the building but across Scotland that evening as Ruth Davidson's Scottish Conservative party leapfrogged Labour to become the main opposition to the SNP at Holyrood.
Not since the 1950s, when the Tories enjoyed a brief period of support in Scotland, had the party experienced any electoral success in typically Labour heartlands. The Thatcher policies had gradually eroded Tory support north of the border and they were wiped out entirely in 1997. However, the devolved election results 12 months ago may be the setting for a new narrative of Tory influence in Scotland and, with the UK General Election only weeks away, it has sparked much hope within the party ranks of more success.
What is the Conservative strategy?
While Brexit is expected to be a continual theme UK wide for this general election, the constitutional question around independence will be at the fore in Scotland. Since 2014, the Tories have set their stall up as the Unionist party option in Scotland for the 55% who voted 'No' to independence. Essentially, they are making it a two-horse race between themselves and the Nationalists. This tactic gives the Conservatives real purpose in Scotland as they can campaign about something that is ideologically important to them and resonates with a large part of the population. It also squeezes out Labour and the Liberal Democrats who are both not as strong on the constitutional issue. Furthermore, the Tories have used the devolved political set up in Scotland to their advantage by focusing on issues that are more prominent to Holyrood than Westminster. For example, attacking the SNP's record in Government and their obsession with independence. This makes for a better campaign that having to defend their own record in Government down south.
Will the Conservatives make gains?
Pollsters are predicting that the Conservatives could take up to 9 seats off the SNP which would give them 10 in total assuming that David Mundell holds his seat. I believe that this is likely based on how the anti SNP message will appeal to many Scots who favour the Union and how effectively that message is being delivered.
Firstly, despite Nicola Sturgeon insisting that a soft Brexit would take independence 'off the table,' most Scots are anticipating another referendum soon and so party allegiances are being decided on the constitutional battle. The Tories stand to gain traditionally Labour and Liberal Democrat voters because they appear the best placed to oppose independence and stand up to the SNP.
Additionally, in Ruth Davidson the party finally have a leader who can detoxify the Conservative brand from the days of the poll tax and closure of the mines. She is more centrist and in touch with Scots and not your run of the mill Tory. It is another reason why they will be keen to keep Davidson at the front of the campaign rather than Theresa May.
What effect does it have on the SNP?
If we assume that the Tories do make the electoral gains that are expected, there is unlikely to be much of an effect. In the 2011 Scottish Elections and 2015 General Election the SNP reached its electoral peak and a slight loss of seats can only be expected. This is what happened in the 2016 Scottish Parliamentary Elections as the SNP lost their majority but remained in Government and not much has changed.
The only slight grievance for the SNP would be if the Tories managed to oust Angus Robertson in Moray and Pete Wishart in Perth and North Perthshire. Both scalps would be notable because Robertson is the SNP leader at Westminster and Wishart is a senior party figure, and only losing Alex Salmond would be a heavier blow. As Davidson has claimed; it would be an 'Ed Balls moment.'
Nonetheless, predictably the SNP will still take a sizable majority back to Westminster and it will remain enough for them to challenge May on Brexit and continue to hold her feet to the fire over independence. If anything, more Conservative MPs in Scotland will only add fuel to that constitutional fire rather than do much to put the flames out.

El Cerrito's open spaces, creeks, tree-covered hillsides, shared boundary with Wildcat Canyon Regional Park and other natural resources are important for many plant and animal species while also having ecological, educational, aesthetic, economic and recreational values.
Deer, squirrels, wild turkeys and a variety of songbird are a common site around town. Pacific chorus frogs, crayfish, salamanders and other animals live in our watershed (creeks). Coyote, foxes, gophers, hawks, kestrels, owls, opossums, raccoons, snakes, skunks, turkey vultures and moles are more often found in the hills of the City and in Wildcat Canyon.
If you find injured or orphaned wildlife that you think needs help, do not automatically pick it up. Read information provided by Lindsay Wildlife Museum. If the animal needs attention, either call County Animal Services at 925-335-8300 or, if it is a native Californian species you could also take it to Lindsay Wildlife Hospital (located in Walnut Creek) during their business hours.
Note: County Animal Services does not respond to calls of healthy wildlife living within Contra Costa County, regardless of the numbers of animals within a neighborhood. If the animal is injured, sick or dead, contact Animal Services.
Lindsay Wildlife Museum also offers tips for living with wildlife (including tips to keep nuisance wildlife away from your home).
If you see a mountain lion in a residential or business area in close enough proximity that you are concerned the lion may come into contact with people, you should call 9-1-1. Otherwise, contact Animal Control at (925-335-8300 during regular business hours or call Sheriff's Office Dispatch at 925-646-2441 during non-business hours) to report a mountain lion sighting.

Courts and Law Brooklyn Boro
Appeals court strikes down immigrant licenses law challenge
November 30, 2020 Associated Press
The lawsuit was brought by Erie County Clerk Michael Kearns. Photo: Mike Groll/AP File
An appeals court dealt another blow Monday to a lawsuit seeking to nullify a New York law allowing immigrants without legal documents to seek driver's licenses.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Rochester federal judge's decision to dismiss a lawsuit by Republican Erie County Clerk Michael Kearns.
The lawsuit last year tried to label New York state's Green Light Law unconstitutional. The law, which took effect last December, prevents federal immigration and customs authorities from accessing the state's Department of Motor Vehicles databases without a court order.
Supporters said licenses help immigrants work, transport their family and apply for college and housing while opponents said licenses shouldn't be given to people who violate federal immigration rules.
Like the lower court, the 2nd Circuit said Kearns lacked standing to sue over the issue.
New York Attorney General Letitia James praised the ruling. Photo: Seth Wenig/AP
It said that since Kearns lacks authority to implement nondisclosure aspects of the law, he can't challenge them.
The Green Light Law led the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year to temporarily block New Yorkers from enrolling in travel programs that let them move quickly through border and airport lines.
A message seeking comment was sent to a lawyer for Kearns.
In a release, New York Attorney General Letitia James praised the ruling, saying it was the third court to decide in the court's favor regarding separate lawsuits.
"This law provides protections to all New Yorkers by making our roads safer, growing our economy, and allowing immigrants to come out of the shadows to sign up as legal drivers in our state," she said.

New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is home to nearly 2.6 million residents. If Brooklyn were an independent city it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. While Brooklyn has become the epitome of 'cool and hip' in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been 'uncool'.

Q: Easiest way of slicing a 2 dimensional data going through values using rows then next cloumn So I have a very large data that look like this:
[[1, 4, 5, 7],
[8,9,33,17,],
[6,0,15,21,]]

and I want to convert it to a specified equal chuncks of rows. starting by all rows of first column, then second column.. which would look something like this if number of chunkcs required is 6
[[1,8],
[6,4],
[9,0],
[5,33],
[15,7],
[17,21]]

I have written this code which takes in the data array and number of chunkcs (rows) required, and I believe that the code is badly optimized since it takes a long time ( I have a huge set of data ):
def ssliices(oldData, nChunck):
    data = []
    # =====store all data in a single row:
    for j in range(oldData.shape[1]):
        for i in oldData:
            data.append(i[j])
    #=======
    nSamples = len(data)//nChunck   # number of data for each row
    final = np.empty(shape=(nChunck,nSamples))
    for i in range(nChunck):
        initalStartIndex = nSamples * i
        final[i,:] = data[initalStartIndex:initalStartIndex+nSamples]

    return final

A: It's unclear whether your array is a true numpy array, but I proceed as though it is.
a=np.array([[1, 4, 5, 7],
[8,9,33,17,],
[6,0,15,21,]])

We transpose to get the right ordering of the data, then flatten, then reshape the flattened array into the correct shape
a.T.flatten().reshape(-1,2)

array([[ 1,  8],
       [ 6,  4],
       [ 9,  0],
       [ 5, 33],
       [15,  7],
       [17, 21]])

A: If nChunck * nSamples will always equal len(data), you can simply reshape the transposed array to the required shape. If that is not the case, you will need to slice the array based on the nChunks and reshape the sliced array. Something like,
def ssliices(oldData, nChunck):
    # Assuming oldData is a numpy array
    a = oldData.T
    nsamples = a.size//nchunks
    # Only required if nChunck * nSamples != len(data)
    a_sliced = a.ravel()[:(nsamples*nchunks)]

    return np.reshape(a_sliced, (nchunks, a_sliced.size//nchunks))

a = np.array([[1, 4, 5, 7],
[8,9,33,17,],
[6,0,15,21,]])

ssliices(a, 5)

array([[ 1,  8],
       [ 6,  4],
       [ 9,  0],
       [ 5, 33],
       [15,  7]])

Meet another of our Faces of Summer, Mikey Colliss at Elite Models London. He was lovely on the shoot and was very keen to get his favourite songs playing whilst we were hanging out eating lunch. Which may have been so he didn't have to listen to Cecilie's "girly" music.
As this was our second encounter with Mikey we now know one thing for sure, he's a cool dude. Fact. Just check out our chat with him below. We were thrilled to do some individual portraits of Mikey to capture those strong eyes and jaw.
If you feel like you need to know even more about this stunning boy, you can now read our new interview here. You can take another look at his chapter from "The 4th Floor" by Cecilie Harris and view the full "Faces of Summer 2012" story here. Yes, we do treat you well.
Mikey wears (all photos) polo shirt, hoodie and shorts by SUPERDRY.
Location: I'm from West London.
Since the beginning of March, it's about five months and a bit.
Really good. It's really good, a bit different. Not used to getting up really early and travelling around the whole of London, but now it's alright cause I know the whole of the Underground off by heart, so that's a plus.
I really wanna do something high end, like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Vogue, but then I'd wanna do a really cool shoot, like in a skate park, all in like Obey clothes, skinny jeans, snap-backs and all just riding boards and yeah, proper cool themed one.
"I'm in Clash magazine? ASAP Rockys on the cover?? Where can I get it??"
Do you know any photographers that you'd like to work with?
I don't really know that many photographers, but I know a few people that I'd like work with - Katie Eary, cause I didn't get to do the show with her. And I worked with Tokyo James and he was really good, creative designer. And Cecilie, she's really good. She helped me out, she got me my first pictures for my book.
I play football, but I wouldn't say I'm passionate about it, because it's not really my main goal in life. I'm passionate about becoming successful.
Three random facts? I am… cool? ha!
I like… oh, I really want a sleeve tattoo, like both my arms tattooed, I wanna get heavily tattooed.
You've not got any at the moment?
No. And I really want a pug. Like my own one when I'm older. Just be this massive guy, heavily tattooed and I've got a tiny little pug.
Three good qualities about yourself?
I'm fun. I think it is a good quality to be sarcastic because it brings a bit of banter into the group with my friends. And I'm outgoing, I speak my mind, how I feel.
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Love it, love it. Or The Middle. And Modern Family. I dunno, one of them.
The last place? It was Portugal.
Not really a lot, I wouldn't say a lot. But I've been to Egypt a lot.
Oh, what's that's guy's name? Marvin Gaye.
Yeah. Actually no, I'd say… depends what mood I'm in. A bit of MJ, Michael Jackson.


Flipped classroom doesn't teach for the test. So what assessment strategies should we implement in the flipped classroom model if we want to make sure that students excel in a test-driven society? Can we allow our students to show their understanding in a format other than a test, e.g. a game they invent, a video tutorial they record or a song they write?
How many times have your students come up with lame excuses why they didn't do their pen and paper homework? The same will most likely happen in the flipped classroom. There is no guarantee that students will watch the video and come prepared to the class. Their computer will unexpectedly crash just as they want to watch the video, or their routers will suddenly break down or a virus will delete all the files etc. etc. There will always be students who make excuses, no matter if they are learning in a traditional or flipped classroom. It might be a good idea to post your asssignments well in advance and give them at least a week's notice about due dates and upcoming deadlines.
"There are many teachers who do not want to record videos either because they don't have the necessary skills or equipment, their classes don't include a lot of lecture that can be captured in recordings, or they are camera shy." says Catlin Tucker. And there is no need to do it. There are many open educational resources produced and shared by fellow teachers from all over the world that we can use. Furthermore, we can also use a variety of other resources, such as interactive quizzes, interactive reading resources, creative writing assignments or we can engage students in creating their own materials, encourage them to learn by doing and provide them with time to reflect on their learning.
Which learning management systems do you use with your students?
Whichh websites with educational resources do you recommend?

An account of how the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk created a chantry trust with the blessing of the King Henry VI. It will look at the way in which they reordered an Oxfordshire church and modelled it on the Suffolk church of Wingfield, built a school and almshouses and an extraordinary palace, favoured by Henry VII and Henry VIII. The lecture will look at them in a historical context and in particular how they sought favour, power and influence. It will discuss the wonderful late medieval alabaster tomb of Alice with its rare cadaver figure, thought by many to be the best example of its kind in Europe.

10 Of The Creepiest Souvenirs Serial Killers Have Kept From Their Victims
It's very common to bring a souvenir back home with us from a vacation as a nice reminder of the great trip we had. Serial killers often do something similar, only much creepier. Serial killers will often keep an item (or trophy) from their victim so each time they look at or touch the item, they are taken right back to the murder they committed and the sick pleasure they got from it. Psychologist Joel Norris explains that serial killers often experience something known as a "totem phase" after they commit a murder that results in a depression only cured by reliving the power they felt when they murdered someone. And the best way to relive that experience? By keeping mementos from the murder, and often from the victim's body itself. Here are 10 of the creepiest trophies serial killers kept from their victims.
Ivan Milat And His Victim's Camping Supplies
Ivan Milat is an Australian serial killer who was given the name "The Backpack Killer" due to the seven (and likely more) backpackers and hitchhikers he murdered in the 1990's. Milat would stab (and sometimes also shoot) his victims to death, with a trademark wound to the spine that likely left them paralyzed, but still alive, as he continued to stab the rest of their bodies until their eventual death. Milat's victims were often found with their pants undone, indicating likely sexual assault, but this was often difficult to determine because the bodies were usually very decomposed from the elements by the time they were found. When police narrowed in on Milat and eventually caught him at his mother's house on May 22nd, 1994, they also found the sleeping bags, clothing, and other camping supplies from the victims that Milat kept. Milat kept those camping supplies as trophies so he could re-experience the pleasure he felt when he first killed them.
Jerome Brudos And His Victim's Shoes
In 1969, Jerome Brudos, AKA the Lust Killer, was finally apprehended after killing four women. At the age of 5 Brudos found a pair of women's shoes in a junkyard and kept them until his mother found and subsequently destroyed them. Brudos' obsession with women's shoes continued to escalate, and he would later stalk women and follow them home simply based on their shoes. Brudos would keep trophies from his victims that ranged from their shoes, to their breasts, and finally, to taking a victim's foot with him so he could put it into other women's shoes he had acquired. Brudos was found guilty of four murders and he even admitted to other assaults he had committed, although he said he was not guilty due to insanity, but mental health experts disagreed. Although he repeatedly tried (and failed) to appeal his conviction, Brudos eventually died of natural causes in an Oregon prison in 2006 . We've all heard of having a foot fetish, but Jerome Brudos took that to a whole new level.

How the gold boom could be reversed
by adminin Introductionon Posted on August 4, 2021
It's the most exciting and lucrative part of the boom: gold.
And yet, this booming commodity is a disaster.
This is the story of how Australia's gold boom has been undone by a political system that has given it a bad name.
First the boom was an economic success story.
It created a surplus.
Then it crashed.
But it did so by making it harder to export gold to Australia and harder to trade gold.
In return, the government gave the boom the green light to keep pumping more gold into the economy.
It has also allowed the gold price to rise to record highs.
But now, it is facing its worst downturn since the global financial crisis, with mining giant Hancock trying to sell its mining assets to foreign buyers.
The boom is back in action and the political consequences are being felt in other parts of the world.
Australia's boom in gold The gold boom began in earnest in the early 1990s.
It began with a gold rush in the 1990s and has since grown to include everything from mining companies building dams to mining companies buying up properties.
The mining boom began around the turn of the century when mining companies, mostly Western Australian and New South Wales, went public.
There was a glut of gold in the world, and in some countries it was so high that people had to buy more than they could carry.
There were also massive spikes in prices for gold, and prices went up by a lot more than the amount of gold being produced.
It was a very high-profile story.
There is some dispute over whether the boom actually began in the late 1990s, but the boom has gone on for some 20 years now.
Australia has been the epicentre of the gold rush.
The government made mining a national industry.
Mining companies were granted a licence to mine gold and the government granted mining companies licences to extract gold from rocks.
The first mines opened in Western Australia in 1997.
Mining began in other states, but Western Australia became the epicenter of the mining boom.
It started with a boom in the gold industry.
Australia became a global gold market, and the boom lasted until 2013.
The rush came to an end in 2013, when Hancock announced it was selling its mining licences and selling off its mining interests to foreign investors.
But the boom did not end there.
In 2017, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported the number of mines operating in Australia had reached 5,000.
Mining boom bust The government's decision to give mining companies the green-light to increase the price of gold is a key piece of the Australian story of its gold boom.
Mining is expensive and there is a finite supply of gold.
So the government was forced to give a huge boost to mining industries and encourage them to invest in new projects.
But in exchange for that, the boom went bust.
There have been huge price spikes and prices have been higher than ever before.
Australia is the epicental gold market Australia has a huge and growing gold market.
There are over 20 mines and mines are operating in the Australian Capital Territory alone.
There's more than $US5 billion in gold mining activity in the country and there are around 50 mines in the NT alone.
But Australia's big mining companies have not been able to increase their profits and have been forced to sell their mines.
Some mines have seen their profits fall by as much as 20 per cent in a single year.
The Government's decision is a big blow to the mining industry, which is struggling to compete with foreign competitors in the global gold trade.
Gold prices are also up in Asia.
The value of the Japanese yen has risen by almost a quarter against the dollar since June.
So much of the value of gold comes from Asia that the Australian Government is selling some of its mining licenses.
This means that mining companies are not selling their assets to overseas investors.
The Federal Government has tried to limit this market by providing the Government with a discount for mining companies that sell their mining assets.
But this is not enough.
Australia, along with New Zealand, has had the largest gold markets in the G20, the biggest in the OECD, and among the most efficient in the developed world.
This boom is now being threatened by a lack of confidence in Australia's government, a weak economy and a low dollar.
Australia faces the worst downturn in its history Australia's mining boom has had a big impact on the world economy.
In the US, the mining companies now controlling the bulk of the US gold supply have grown to be the largest private companies in the US.
They have become the dominant players in the industry, and they have done so because of their large capital spending, cheap money, and cheap labour.
And because they can spend more on mining than their competitors.
Australia also has one of the highest levels of government debt in the advanced world.
The Australian Government has had to make big changes to its business model.
In 2013, it abolished the Gold Coast gold mining industry and gave the industry the go-ahead to increase its spending by up

Can't help but notice the C pillar similarity to the new Maxima and RX350 on this Honda concept. Honda dodged the bullet by skipping that feature on the new Civic, though the styling of the 2016 Civic is not great. Amazing how fast these automakers can copy each other now.
Mies ahead of todays warmed over Civic, even with the 2011 Fusion inspired front end.
I give Honda some credit for trying something different and not simply giving us a slightly altered regurgitation of a current design. However, I am getting a slight Crosstour and previous gen Sebring/200 vibe from the overall shape of the sedan, which may not be entirely desirable. I'm still keeping the faith that the actual production version will look more appealing in the flesh (or "metal").
