/** @page seeds Seeds
 *  @brief Seeds description and functions
 *  @tableofcontents
 *
 *  @section seed-description Description
 *  This part describes a seed element : each single seed element is represented by a @ref seed : each seed is thus
 *  represented first by a table of integer (@ref seed::_seedMotif_int) of given length (@ref seed::_span).
 *
 *  @see  seed::table()
 *  @see  seed::span()
 *
 *  Each value within this table must be a seed alphabet letter, and as thus, in the range
 *  [0.. @ref gv_seed_alphabet_size - 1].
 *
 *  It is possible to add some constraints on the positions where the seed will be applied (by default, it is applied
 *  a any possible position it fits).
 *  If any, a table of cyclic positions (seed::_seedCyclePos_int) of given length (@ref seed::_seedNbCyclePos) is
 *  allocated and filled. Each value within this table must be in  the range [0.. @ref seed::_seedMaxCyclePos - 1]
 *
 *  @see  seed::cycled()
 *  @see  seed::pos()
 *  @see  seed::nbpos()
 *  @see  seed::maxpos()
 *
 *  @section seed-enumeration Enumeration
 *  Enumerating seeds of given span, weight, signature is the main tool proposed in the @ref seed.
 *  Signature is a fixed set of number, for each non-null seed elements that are needed for the seed.
 *  Note that null seed elements can be added to increase the span without changing the signature validity.
 *
 *  @subsection full-enum Full enumeration
 *
 *  This is the more time consuming enumeration option, as it fully enumerate the seeds of given span
 *  (between @ref gv_minspan and @ref gv_maxspan), weight (between @ref gv_minweight and @ref gv_maxweight) and possible signature
 *  (@ref gv_signature in activated with @ref gv_signature_flag) constraints.
 *  It also enumerate the set of positions where the seed is applied (when cyclic positions seed:_seedCyclePos_int
 *  is set)
 *
 *  @see  seed::next()
 *
 *  @subsection random-enum Random enumeration
 *  This is the least costly, but also the least efficient way of enumeration seeds of given span
 *  (@ref gv_minspan and @ref gv_maxspan), weight (@ref gv_minweight and @ref gv_maxweight) and signature
 *  (@ref gv_signature in activated with @ref gv_signature_flag) constraints.
 *  since it randomly draw some seeds with these constraints.
 *
 *  @see  seed::random()
 *
 *  @subsection hill-climbing-enum Hill-climbing enumeration
 *  This is a classical local search optimization : when activated, it enumerates all the possible swaps of two
 *  elements, all the one "jocker symbol" add/delete events, all the "one position" changes for positioned seeds
 *  within the current seed until one gives a better result : in this case, this seed is set; otherwise if none is
 *  better, the original seed is reset. Several variables are provided to keep track of local modifications of
 *  the seed "jocker" last edit (@ref seed::_edit_operation, seed::_edit_from, seed::_edit_from_symbol), the seed
 *  last swap (@ref seed::_swap_from, seed::_swap_to) and for positioned seeds, the last edited position
 *  (@ref seed::_edit_cycle_pos_index, seed::_edit_cycle_pos_old_value).

Social media is a powerful way for politicians to distribute information and also engage with constituents in real time. With that comes the risks of magnified and costly missteps.
After sporting his personal Twitter handle for less than 3 weeks, a Québec politician recently found himself in troubled waters.
"girls attach less importance to salary than do boys".
Reaction to the controversial tweet was swift and included qualifiers such as "dinosaur", "sexist" and "clumsy politician".
"Monsieur Legault's Twitter account has been hacked!!!! (in any case, that's my hope for him)".
The resistance to apologizing does all sorts of bad things professionally. The longer issues are left unaddressed, the deeper the resentment and the harder it is to move forward.
Monsieur Legault didn't back down to any of his critics and a review of his timeline shows a multitude of defensive clarifications. No apology or "Politwoops " retraction for him.
The original version of Politwoops was developed by the Open State Foundation of The Netherlands to follow the country's members of parliament and town council representatives. Several international versions of the site exist.
Simply introducing people to a new platform and then leaving them to their own devices is a recipe for disaster.
With the prospect of a provincial election on the horizon, Monsieur Legault and other Québec politicians, and their respective parties, should hone their social media skills … and possibly opt for some coaching to make the most of their foray in social media waters.
Every organization needs to have some way of monitoring social media either by humans or by automated tools so that they can be alerted to a crisis situation and be ready to respond. Keep an eye on social media and be prepared to respond if something needs immediate attention.
The wild rose is the official flower of the province of Alberta.
In a recent too-close-to-call election campaign, Alberta's Progressive Conservative (PC) party saw how quickly things can go off the social rails. A PC staffer took to her personal Twitter account in response to a promise from the Wildrose Party to introduce new programs and services aimed at young families.
Danielle Smith had undergone several unsuccessful fertility treatments in an effort to have children. PC leader Alison Redford ended up apologizing to Smith. Within hours, Wilkie removed the tweet and deleted her account. She was promptly fired.
Beware of virtuous and destructive cycles. Don't let social spiral out of control. Invest in social media coaching for you and your brand. Don't just keep your head above water, take tweeting lessons.
Do "likes" on Facebook translate to votes? Howard Kurtz and Lauren Ashburn of Daily-Download.com examine that issue with Ray Suarez and also explore why traditional news outlets are partnering with social media sites this election year.
Don't be fooled by false friends … it has been suggested that the Romney campaign is buying followers to catch up to President Obama's giant social footprint?

Fox News: John Boehner Protecting Obama By Purposely Suppressing Anything About Benghazi.
Rothschild Czar John Boehner
"We have John Boehner, who has been purposely suppressing anything about Benghazi because he knew what we found out this week," Caddell alleged. "And he approved it."
Caddell alleged that CIA agents were using Libya as a transit point to move weapons from North Africa into Syria without congressional approval. He added that the revelations surrounding the large number of CIA agents on the ground in Libya in 2012 was part of an operation that Boehner supported and approved.
Turning to the details of the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups, Caddell concluded by saying that he can "guarantee" that the details surrounding that scandal go "directly into the White House." Fox News

"The best way to destroy the Free Open Market Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."
– Vladimir Lenin
Most people think Communism is an ideology dedicated to championing workers and the poor. This was an incredibly successful ruse which manipulated millions.
Behind this artifice, "Communism" is devoted to concentrating all wealth and power in the hands of the central banking cartel (the Rothschilds and their allies) by disguising it as State power.
The central banking cartel is the ultimate monopoly. It has an almost global monopoly over government credit. It's object is to translate this into a monopoly over everything – political, cultural, economic and spiritual. One world government = Rothschild monopoly = Communism.

While the assassination of Hamami [CIA POSIES] was the most spectacular and high-profile event to date, it is not yet clear that this event marks any significant shift in the tactical relationship between rebel units and [CIA POSIES] al Qaeda groups.
Nevertheless, it demonstrates that Syrian rebels [CIA POSIES DEMOCRATS] are facing a long term threat from [CIA POSIES REPUBLICANS] al-Qaeda affiliates that want a different future for Syria [A ROTHSCHILD FUTURE].

Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) [CIA American Operative Rebels] has been the most prominent Salafist jihadist organization [CIA American Operative Rebels] in the Syrian conflict since it announced its creation in January 2012.
It is believed that JN [CIA American Operative Rebels] was formed by Syrian jihadists [CIA American Operative Rebels] who returned to the country after fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s.

Among them was JN's leader, who goes by the nom de guerre of Abu Mohammad al-Julani. [CIA American Operative Rebels]
The Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), the organizational name for al Qaeda in Iraq, provided support to JN's initial constitution, contributing arms, fighters, and training. [CIA American Operative Rebels]
Although JN's Salafist goal of establishing an Islamic state under Sharia law does not accord with the idea of a democratic Syria that many moderate opposition fighters hopes to see, JN has proven to be an effective fighting force against the Assad regime, and FSA groups have cooperated tactically with JN on many occasions. [CIA American Operative Rebels]
Jabhat al-Nusra has employed a cautious strategy in Syria, making efforts to avoid alienating the Syrian population and the FSA. [CIA American Operative Rebels]
This strategy has included avoiding civilian targets and taking care to minimize civilian casualties when methods like suicide bombings are employed, downplaying sectarian rhetoric and selecting a name without controversial or partisan connotations. [CIA American Operative Rebels]
By all accounts this strategy has been successful, allowing JN [CIA POSIES] to continue to gain supporters and prestige in a conflict where its ultimate goal is fundamentally anathema to the underpinnings of the larger revolution.
In December 2012, JN [CIA POSIES] was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States, [Self Serving Deception Scheme To Continue The War On Terror Scheme] and in April 2013 it formally acknowledged its affiliation with al-Qaeda [CIA POSIES].
Rothschild's Handbook For Banker's World Control: Elders Of Zion
These developments have both complicated U.S. and European calculations to provide support to the rebels and exacerbated the tensions that marked the relationships between the moderate opposition and the jihadi groups.
As JN [CIA POSIES] gained strength in Syria, fissures began to appear in its relationship with its "parent" organization, ISI.

BUT THE REAL DIALOGUE SHOULD BE ABOUT
OBAMA/CIA VIOLATING THE UNITED STATES WAR POWERS ACT

We Stop These Bastards We Stop The Global Crisis!
OK, BACK TO THE MINDLESS RABBIT HOLE STORYLINE:
THIS READS LIKE AN HOUR ON THE RICKY LAKE SHOW:
The tension was made public in April of 2013 when Baghdadi released a statement that JN and ISI were officially merging under the name "Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham," (ISI(S)) a claim which was quickly rebuffed by Julani, who said he had never been informed of any merger. [CIA POSIES]
Julani overtly acknowledged JN's allegiance to al-Qaeda in the same statement. [CIA POSIES]
Julani indicated that the reason JN held off so long on proclaiming their al-Qaeda affiliation was due to its efforts to understand a Sharia policy that is "appropriate for al-Sham reality," thereby indicating that JN had no intention of merging with ISI to form a pan-Syrian/Iraqi caliphate. [CIA POSIES]
JN also implicitly rebuffed Baghdadi for ISI's hardline methods in Iraq in what was likely an attempt to retain JN's standing among the wider Syrian opposition. [CIA POSIES]
After this exchange of public claims between ISI and JN, Jabhat al-Nusra appeared infrequently in reports of rebel clashes, and JN's official media outlet al-Manara al-Bayda went quiet. [CIA POSIES]
May 2013, however, witnessed a proliferation of videos claiming to be from ISI(S). [CIA POSIES]
During this time there was speculation that Baghdadi had come out on top and that JN was collapsing. [CIA POSIES]
Then, in early June, a letter from al-Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was published by Al Jazeera. [CIA POSIES]
While Zawahiri's letter reprimanded both parties for their role in the dispute, he effectively supported Julani's positions: Baghdadi's original claim of unification was a rogue move, "The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant" was dissolved, and ISI and JN were instructed to continue operations as independent entities under the al-Qaeda umbrella, each confined to their own geographic arenas.

The Aftermath ~ Several interesting developments occurred in the wake of Zawahiri's ruling.
On June 14th, al-Manara al-Bayda sprang back to life and began once again releasing information on Jabhat al-Nusra's operations. [CIA POSIES]
The brief hiatus in May demonstrates JN's allegiance to Zawahiri since it shows respect for him during his period of deliberation in April and May. [CIA POSIES]
Around the same time, Baghdadi issued a bold rejection of Zawahiri's ruling, stating that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham would continue to exist. [CIA POSIES]
Accordingly, ISI(S) is now a fact on the ground. [CIA POSIES]
As it has continued to operate alongside JN, a confusing picture of how ISI(S) and JN inter-operate in different parts of Syria has emerged. [CIA POSIES]
There are places where their names are used interchangeably or both operate but do so separately; where they are distinct but cooperate on attacks; and where one or the other is the sole or prominent actor. [CIA POSIES]
Analyst Aymenn al-Tamami, – who analyzes ISI(S)/JN dynamics throughout Syria – notes Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor as cities where JN and ISI(S) function separately, Deraa as a city where JN maintains primacy, and al-Raqqa as a city where they are indistinguishable, although these dynamics are in constant flux. [CIA POSIES]
Additionally there are reports of shifting group loyalties and of defections from the ranks of JN to ISI(S), opening up the possibility that individual fighters may hold multiple allegiances. [CIA POSIES]
Further adding to the confusion, there is evidence of attacks being misattributed to one or the other group. [CIA POSIES]
While some of these misattributions stem from a misleading conception that JN's members are Syrian while ISI(S)'s are foreign and a genuine lack of clarity on the ground, others are likely due to the intentional spread of misinformation by various interested parties, including the groups in question. [CIA POSIES]

This type of misinformation and propaganda is pervasive in Syria and will continue to obfuscate opposition dynamics as jihadi groups, moderate opposition elements, and the regime all vie to shape the narrative in the ongoing messaging battle.

One key distinction between ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] and JN [CIA POSIES] is that JN [CIA POSIES] has clearly made attempts to cultivate popularity and goodwill among Syrian civilians and fighters.

CIA's Rabbit Hole Story Line:
Just this month they launched a new media outlet, Himam News Agency, which posts videos just about JN's [CIA POSIES] civic and social works.
With the ISI(S) videos that started appearing after Baghdadi declared ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] into existence in April, it is clear that this group does not intend to follow JN's [CIA POSIES] lead where "hearts and minds" are concerned.
They have been vocal about their desire for a pan-Arabic Islamic caliphate, uncompromising in their control, and brutal in their reprisals against those who get in their way, be they regime or rebel parties.
JN [CIA POSIES] initially achieved respect even among more moderate opposition forces for its contributions on the battlefield against the regime, but it appears that more of ISI(S)'s [CIA POSIES] energies have been devoted towards imposing governance rather than toppling Assad.
REMEMBER TO BE THINKING IN TERMS OF THE POLARIZATION EFFECT OF DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN DICHOTOMIES THAT WERE SET UP ORIGINALLY BY THE BANKS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The brutal methods of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] have led to previously-unseen civilian backlash in some areas, mainly in the form of anti-ISI(S) protests.
While JN [CIA POSIES] has until now maintained a largely positive reputation among Syrians and moderate fighters, their ideological link to al-Qaeda and close cooperation with ISI(S) have taken a toll on their image.
The perception of division in the jihadi ranks has been bemoaned on jihadi forums, and influential figures have called for believers not to take sides.
Other jihadi groups in Syria, most notably Ahrar al-Sham, have been able to exploit this division and emerge as potentially stronger jihadi players.
Ahrar al-Sham – the strongest component of the Syrian Islamic Front (SIF) – has fought since the early days of the conflict and built a stellar reputation both on the battlefield and in humanitarian activities.
Since the ISI(S)/JN [CIA POSIES] dispute began in April 2013, Ahrar al-Sham has reorganized the SIF and uncloaked its previously anonymous leader, Hassan Aboud Abu Abdullah al-Hamawi, in what appears to be a strategic maneuver to gain prestige and support in the wake of the internecine dispute between ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] and JN [CIA POSIES].
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT CORPORATE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS VIOLATING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION'S
~ WAR POWERS ACT ~
BEING IN THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE FIRST PLACE IS THE VIOLATION
ITS THE STATES THAT MUST PUT AN END TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S ABUSE OF POWER.
New World Order Chronology: Nothing New Here ~ We Fought This Same Menace In 1776!
A recent international trip and media blitz by Hassan al-Hamawi has indeed boosted the group's prominence and made clear that it has independent support from outside actors in the region.
Implications Kamal Hamami's death at the hands of ISI(S)'s [CIA POSIES] local commander in Latakia spurred a media and propaganda frenzy because it was the highest-profile clash between Islamic extremists and the moderate opposition to date.
Kamal Hamami was a member of the Supreme Military Council Command (SMC), an organization founded in December 2012 by the Syrian opposition[CIA POSIES] in an attempt to unify its military forces.
The SMC consists of 30 elected members – six from each of five military fronts – and is led by General Salam Idris.
As the opposition's highest military authority it is their [ROTHSCHILD] blueprint for a post-Assad national military.
Kamal Hamami was one of the six elected members of the SMC's West and Central Front, where he also oversaw the Finance Committee.
While the killing of Hamami may have pushed the "jihad in Syria" and "rebel infighting" rhetoric into overdrive, thus far it does not seem to have led to any substantial changes on the ground.
Despite reports that the SMC [CIA POSIES] was using the incident to manipulate the U.S. [CIA POSIES] into sending them arms to fight al-Qaeda[CIA POSIES], rumors that JN [CIA POSIES] was distancing itself from ISI(S)[CIA POSIES], and claims that ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] was planning to assassinate other SMC [CIA POSIES] leaders, initial indications suggest that these groups have continued to cooperate in operations against the regime.
In fact, less than a week after the murder, the matter was relegated to investigation by a Sharia court [SHIITE BASED HEAD-CUTTING COURT], and since then it has dropped from the headlines entirely.
ROTHSCHILD STOOGE
Considering the operational momentum the regime currently enjoys in Homs, it would be difficult for the weapons-strapped FSA to devote resources to countering this growing extremist presence.
Rather than indicating a dramatic shift in the nature of the conflict, Hamami's death signals the maturation of a dangerous trend: the ascendancy of hardline al-Qaeda [CIA POSIES] ideologues in Syria.
One of the most troubling rumors to surface in the wake of Hamami's killing is that ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] plans to declare an Islamic state in northern Syria.
The international press has reported that an anonymous "high ranking Free Syrian Army official" [CIA POSIES] told as-Sharq al-Awsat that Hamami's assassination, along with the beheading of a different FSA leader in Ad-Dana a week earlier, signaled the start of this plan, which would culminate with the announcement of an Islamic State in Northern Syrian on the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
While this statement is unverified, the reality on the ground depicts an increasing proportion of rebel-held territory in Syria coming under the governance of either ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] or JN [CIA POSIES].
These cities and towns in north-eastern Syria are shown in the map below.
Areas with Evidence of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] Control.

A population center has been marked on the map above as being under ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] "control" only if there is sufficient credible evidence to support the prevalence of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] -related activities in that area.
ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] control of a town is demonstrated by the rule of law (through sharia courts), the provision of public services, public outreach initiatives, as well as military supremacy.
Photographic and video evidence of rallies for or against ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] (mainly against) provide good indications of their control of an area.
Similarly, ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] -sponsored Ramadan events with large numbers of attendees are likely legitimate.
While these on their own do not demonstrate control, they are meaningful when combined with other indicators.
In the case of Jarablus, a first-hand account from a reputable outlet of Syrian opposition journalists was used.
The locations in which ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] is exerting control share other commonalities besides proximity.
A number of them, such as al-Raqqa, were previously liberated by Jabhat al-Nusra, often in concert with FSA [CIA POSIES] units.
Some of these towns have been free of regime control since early in the war and have struggled to provide rule of law and services.
Despite the public dispute between JN [CIA POSIES] and ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] surrounding ISI(S)'s [CIA POSIES] creation, in practice the groups have continued to work together, and ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] seems to have stepped in to exert influence in a number of areas where JN [CIA POSIES] was known to operate.

Since there have been no known JN/ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] clashes over these areas it appears that this transition has been fluid and at least tacitly approved by JN [CIA POSIES].
There could be several reasons for this.
For one thing, JN [CIA POSIES] was negatively impacted by the public dispute with ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] and does not stand to benefit by continuing to quarrel. Additionally, it has been noted that JN [CIA POSIES] previously took measures to maintain a positive reputation among Syrians, which has come largely from their success on the battlefield, not their sharia courts.
Imposing a strict interpretation of sharia law on Syrian citizens – who have lived in a secular state for decades – will tarnish JN's [CIA POSIES] reputation among the moderate opposition.
It may be in their short term interest in some cases to let ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] do the "dirty work," and bear the brunt of the backlash.
In a July 19 interview with Al-Arabiya, SMC leader Brig. Gen. Salim Idris accused members of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] of being "criminals" and said that he wants the foreign fighters out of Syria.
Because the map above does not include towns where there was not sufficient evidence online to demonstrate ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] control, it is likely that this map actually underestimates the presence of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES].
For example, Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamami notes signs of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] control in Al Bab, which is located in Aleppo province between Aleppo and Manbij.
While there is no evidence of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] control yet in the strategically important city of Saraqeb in Idlib, it exhibits signs of vulnerability.
Saraqeb has been under opposition control for over a year, has seen Jabhat al-Nusra attempt to assert control, and there has been some backlash against a public whipping for sharia law violations by Islamists.

Rothschilds Want Iran's Banks: Rothschild Obtained Iraq's Central Bank, Rothschild Obtained Muammar Gaddafi Gold ~ Syria & Iran Next Using U.S. Military Machine!
There have also been allegations of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] in another strategic city, Tabqah, although these too have not yet been substantiated.
The protracted conflict in Syria has made it an attractive battlefront for al-Qaeda [CIA POSIES]; not only because of Syria's strategic location in the heart of the Arab world, but also because it has created the type of environment in which al-Qaeda [CIA POSIES] operates most effectively.
War has disrupted the very fabric of Syrian society in hard hit areas, with the breakdown of existing governance structures, the displacement of vulnerable populations, and the increasing difficulty that many people face in meeting their basic needs.
The continued expansion of ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] and its hardline governance in northern Syria is worrisome for the moderate opposition.
ISI(S) [CIA POSIES] has been effective at setting up functional governance structures in liberated areas, notably in towns that were once controlled by the moderate opposition.
Their oppressive and often brutal imposition of control on population centers points to an agenda focused not on freeing the people from the regime, but on carving out and consolidating a base of power.
This relatively new development in Syria's war jeopardizes the moderate opposition's hopes for a democratic Syria.

Special tribute to man who created one of Horsham's leading visitor attractions
Couple left shocked as Horsham hotel closure wrecks their wedding plans
Village near Horsham gets set for 20th anniversary of poignant tribute
A village near Horsham is getting set to mark the 20th anniversary of a special exhibition.
By Sarah Page
Monday, 18th October 2021, 12:35 pm
Since 2001 Holy Trinity Church at Rudgwick has paid a poignant tribute to all its citizens who lost their lives in the two world wars.
And it's all thanks to retired graphic designer Geoffrey Turberville Smith who researched those who had died and set about creating memorials to them.
This year the Rudgwick Remembers exhibition will be held at the church for three weeks beginning on November 2.
Memorials inside Holy Trinity Church, Rudgwick, to those who died in the First and Second World Wars
Around the north and south walls of the church are 'headstones' created for each of the 59 names on the Roll of Honour.
There are also maps showing where they lived in Rudgwick, where they died and extracts from parish magazines of the time.
"Over the last 20 years there has been a growing interest in researching into the past and we have added many photographs and background stories," said Geoffrey.
"Each year there has been a lot of interest from local schools."
Geoffrey first embarked on his mission after hearing the names of the dead being read out during a Remembrance Day service.
"Then everyone solemnly said: 'We will remember them.' And I thought we don't really know who they are."
Since then, with help from others, Geoffrey has managed to research the lives of all of them in a fitting village tribute.


$5000 for an autographed Miley Cyrus guitar, $7000 to play golf with Bill Murray and his brothers, and $3500 to attend the Project Runway finale and see your name in lights in Times Square– these were just some of the deals bidders won at the Friends of the Family's 12th Annual Family Matters Benefit and Celebration. The May 30th charity event at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California raised more than $450,000 and drew celebrities such as Access Hollywood co-host Nancy O'Dell, Dan Cortese, Melissa Joan Hart, Ross "The Intern" Mathews, and VH1 Celebrity Fit Club's Stacy Kaiser.
The evening started with a silent auction where guests bid on items such as a Kobe Bryant jersey and a Sony private screening for 40. Afterwards, Mad TV's Debra Wilson-Skelton served as the auctioneer for the live bidding where she helped raise a little over $20,000 on only five items. Guests also enjoyed a delicious dinner while watching legendary Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton receive the 2008 Spotlight Award, which was followed by dance performances by children of Friends of the Family programs.


Gowanus, the Brooklyn neighborhood known for its namesake toxic canal (which is prone to flooding), will be joining Manhattan's Garment District as the next neighborhood to be rezoned. Following over 100 hours of community outreach after the release of the original Gowanus PLACES Study in 2016, the Department of City Planning (DCP) has unveiled the Draft Framework for a Sustainable, Inclusive, Mixed-use Neighborhood. The 188-page draft breaks down suggestions from the city and community on how to boost the neighborhood's resiliency, replace some of the manufacturing areas with residential, and build up flood-resistant infrastructure. New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) tenants were also consulted on how to improve the area's public housing stock moving forward. Surprising no one, a great deal of attention was paid towards the future of the Gowanus Canal proper. Plans for dredging and remediating the industrial waterway (despite the preservation concerns), preventing runoff from reaching the canal, and incentivizing private residences to remediate their contaminated sites were given top billing. Despite the fetid waters, Gowanus has seen an upsurge in luxury development in recent years (including Brooklyn's first Whole Foods, on 3rd Avenue). The city worked with community groups such as Bridging Gowanus to develop guides for building affordably in the neighborhood. Some of those proposals include rezoning the majority industrial and commercial neighborhood to allow for mid-rise residential developments with a sizeable affordable housing component. While nods were given to reigning in development along mid-block properties, the city has proposed allowing higher-density developments along certain stretches, such as near Thomas Greene Playground and on 3rd Avenue. Some of the beefier urbanist proposals in the draft framework include bridging non-contiguous plots into walkable "superblocks," and the creation of a unified waterfront esplanade around the canal under a Waterfront Access Plan (WAP). The WAP would also create uniformly-spaced canal crossings, new flood resistance requirements, ground-floor retail requirements along the waterfront, and lowered street wall heights on the coast. The full draft framework plan can be found here. The framework's release will be followed by the Draft Neighborhood Plan and Zoning Proposal this winter, and then the rezoning proposal will move to the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) for public comment. Interested community members can attend an open house at P.S. 32 at 317 Hoyt Street on June 27 from 5 to 8:30 P.M. to share their feedback.
Cresol, a toxic substance that in humans can damage the respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, blood, liver, kidney, and central nervous system.
Aniline, probably the most scary, is used in dyes and plastics production. It is "classified as very toxic in humans", with a probable oral lethal dose in humans at a very low level.
As new apartment buildings continue to rise in Gowanus, Brooklyn, New York City's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has announced plans to install 90 bioswales nearby in hopes of cleaning the neighborhood's eponymous—and oh-so-polluted—canal. DNAinfo reported that starting this summer, the DEP will plan the so-called "curbside gardens" in hopes of soaking up about 8 million gallons of stormwater runoff, ultimately helping the overall ecological well-being of the Gowanus Canal. "Investing in green infrastructure is a cost-effective way to improve the health of the Gowanus Canal, green neighborhood streets and clean the air we all breathe," said DEP Commissioner Emily Lloyd in a statement to DNAinfo. This bioswale program is part of New York City's larger, multi-billion dollar effort to use green infrastructure to capture stormwater and beautify streets. As AN reported last fall: "Thanks to a landmark 2012 settlement with state environmental officials, New York City finally is taking major steps to manage stormwater near contaminated waterways that don't comply with the Clean Water Act, such as the Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek. The initiative includes an ambitious plan to spend $2.4 billion on green infrastructure, which can include streetscapes designed with materials such as structural soil and permeable pavers."
Last week, ODA: Architecture unveiled a dramatic rendering of a megaproject for Gowanus, Brooklyn, featuring a cluster of semi-transparent stepped pyramids. But almost as soon as the design was released, the site's owners stepped in as buzzkills, disavowing any connection with the ODA proposal. After the sleuths at 6sqft identified the future home of the ziggurats as 175–225 Third Street—thanks to a bit of graffiti pictured in the renderings—the owners, Kushner Companies and LIVWRK, released a statement indicating that they had already passed on ODA's pitch. "The developers are not working with ODA on this project and these designs do not represent our vision for this site or the Gowanus," they said. "We are committed to putting forth an outstanding plan that respects the context of the neighborhood and responds to the voices of local stakeholders." While we now know that ODA, which is currently working on other New York City projects including 10 Montieth Street in Bushwick, will not be bringing their pinwheel of Mesopotamian-inspired structures to the canal front, much about the future of the site remains uncertain. Last June, The Real Deal reported that the parcel could be rezoned to allow a mixed-use development of over one million square feet, to include 150,000 square feet of retail. The immediate area is ripe for commercial growth, with a Whole Foods located across the street and other large residential complexes going up nearby.
Snøhetta, the Norwegian firm known for big, dramatic buildings around the globe, has completed a more modest project in Gowanus, Brooklyn: the conversion of a warehouse into a studio and gallery space for José Parlá, a Cuban-American artist and painter. The new space is separated into two defined spaces known as the "Arena" and the "Nest." The "Arena" is where Parlá can showcase his work, like the mural ONE: Union of the Senses, which is now on display in the lobby of One World Trade Center. And as for the "Nest," Snøhetta describes that as "a cozy mezzanine [that] provides a relaxing space for the artist to take distance from his work, and an elevated location to view his paintings from a new perspective." Artists, right? Snøhetta's renovation retains much of the building's industrial past, including its ceilings and concrete floors; the building's brick exterior has largely been preserved as well, but now includes rolling doors to accommodate large pieces of art. Inside, walls are painted grey to highlight the artist's work and old skylights have been opened up to increase natural light.
As the team from Latent Productions described the building, head baker Peter Endriss and staff passed small plates including pickled vegetables with chopped egg, whitefish salad with sliced baguette, heirloom tomato soup, and sliced sausage with sauerkraut. Endriss, previously head baker at Thomas Keller's Per Se, reserved one surprise for tour attendees returning from 285 3rd Avenue's upper floors: his signature rye flour and toasted caraway brownies.
A compromise has been reached in the heated battle over the fate of Brooklyn's iconic Kentile Floors sign. The New York Times reported that the sign's owner will dismantle the structure and donate its red letters to the Gowanus Alliance, a local group which plans to reinstall the sign nearby. For that to happen, though, the eight-story, 50-year-old sign must first be removed from its current rooftop home without breaking. "There are some hurdles to clear," reported the Times. "The permits require that the 20-foot-high letters be reduced to four-by-four-foot sections and sent down a debris chute off the roof." City Councilman Brad Lander, who recently launched a petition to save the sign, told the paper he hopes the letters can be removed with a pulley and not "crammed down a chute."
After much backlash from New York City Councilmember Brad Lander and several community members in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the Lightstone Group has decided to abandon its proposed "minor modification" in favor of keeping the as-of-right design for its Gowanus Canal-side development that is in compliance with the rezoning passed in 2009. Today the New York City Department of City Planning gave Lightstone the greenlight to move ahead with its 700-unit residential development on the Gowanus. The "Minor Modification" would have used a waiver to extend the depth in the rear yard. And while the design initially won the community board's support, the damage and flooding from Hurricane Sandy in the area generated concern and protest among some residents. According to a statement released by Lightstone today, the design approved is "very similar to the Minor Modification design," which includes the identical massing along Bond Street and along portions of First and Second Streets, the same floor area and uses of retail and residential space, and the same number of units and affordable apartments. But Lightstone did manage to deviate from the original design by Toll Brothers, the previous developer, by "gently stepping up" the building heights toward the canal and adding 2,955 square feet of open space to accommodate an expanded public walkway along the canal and pull the buildings away from the waterfront. The developers will also adhere to new FEMA maps and implement the required changes to protect the building from flooding such as raising the lowest occupied floors and moving all mechanical equipment to above grade. The blog Pardon Me For Asking reported that even though the Minor Modification is off the table, Brad Lander is not budging on his position. "In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, I continue to believe it is a mistake to move forward with dense, high-rise, residential development without a comprehensive plan for infrastructure and land use regulations that Gowanus needs," said Lander.
The contaminated waters of the Gowanus Canal—nor the threat of flooding from future storms like Hurricane Sandy—are deterring developers from building right up on the canal's edge. In fact, a new swanky boutique hotel is about to wash up on the shores of the Gowanus Canal. This comes at a time when several new hotels are in the works for Brooklyn over the next few years, including the Rockwell Place Hotel in the Brooklyn Downtown Cultural District and Selldorf Architect's revival of the Bossert Hotel in Brooklyn Heights. Capital New York reported that downtown nightlife maven Matt Abramcyk of the original Beatrice Inn and Smith & Mills restaurant will build this new 82-room hotel to be named the Gowanus Inn & Yard at 645 Union Street just off Fourth Avenue. Abramcyk will team up with Alec Shtromandel who built the Union Hotel on nearby DeGraw Street. The project is expected to cost $13 million and slated to open in early 2015. With a slew of new restaurants and concert venues, Gowanus is emerging as the next industrial frontier primed for new development catering to Brooklyn's hipster-meets-yuppie set.

Everyone has their own plans about their lives and what they want to accomplish. As we interact with one another there may be some tug and pull moving forward. When we were young we were taught not to push or cut in line in an effort to get to the end more quickly. Although we may think we learned that lesson well, when there is something we really want and others are in the way, we may justify pushing them aside or jumping ahead of them in order to get there. If we don't care what happens we may run over them or bully our way through. Some people believe the ends justify any means necessary and if that means hurting someone else, so be it. Every time we hurt someone serving ourselves we may be burning a bridge. Perhaps we don't think we'll ever return so it doesn't matter how many we burn pushing ahead. But life has a way of looping back around to where we've been and if we must come back it'll be harder to find success if we've eradicated the connections necessary to allow it. No matter what our goals are or what time frame we've set to accomplish them, it is far better to work with those around us than against them. We can find successful ways to incorporate others if they are in our way and allow them to help us move forward. Bringing those around us into the plan will allow us to build strong connections that will help us through and be there in the future. We can do anything on our own but sharing the journey with others will make the trip more interesting and may take us to the destination more quickly. Collateral damage isn't a requirement for success. We can build bridges instead of burning them, and move forward together.
Someone near us may be very ambitious and determined in their desires. If they want something we have they may simply take it instead of asking for it. If we must interact with them we may feel great frustration or anger as they act out in discriminatory ways. We don't have to allow others to treat us badly. We can speak up and set boundaries that bring us confidence. We deserve respect and consideration, and we may demand it. The world doesn't belong to anyone. We all have a part to play, and we can own what is ours and define what we need.
We may be a situation where someone hurts us deeply as they push forward to get what they want. Maybe they destroy a tender relationship we have with someone else, sabotage us at work, or cast aspersions on our character. It's painful to go through such betrayal and it may be hard to get back up after being knocked down. But we have all the courage and strength we need to face anything that comes, and with grace and patience can continue forward despite any efforts to stop us. Success is always there. There is nothing and no one powerful enough to hold us down.
Today if you've been brushed aside or demeaned by someone pushing their way ahead, step out of the way and let them pass. You can move forward on your own road without interference and find success. Trust in your abilities and strength. You have everything you need to be happy and reach any destination you desire. Be confident. Everything is there for you and nothing will keep you from it.


How can Twitter help improve your website traffic?
Although it's a little off-topic for this blog, I thought I would give a little mention to Twitter. It's nothing to do with search engines, or optimising your website, but it is something that can add to your website traffic and so is worth a short mention here.
I only created my Twitter profile a few weeks ago.
Why, you may ask, after having created a Business Networking website (and therefore knowing the importance of growing networks and building relationships) and having had a keen interest in building website traffic for many years, have I been so slow accepting Twitter? After all, it is a free opportunity to get to know (virtually) more people, to develop relationships with them, and an additional marketing channel for your products and services, a mechanism for asking for help and to help others, and a way to drive traffic to your weblogs and websites.
I have been a little slow on the take-up because I have been busy with other things (and so perhaps did not consider that I needed it) and also because I have been sceptical that the cost to me (in terms of time spent tweeting, reading, responding) to develop its potential would be much higher than the return it would ultimately provide.
For me, the jury is still out, but then it is early days. I try to tweet once or twice a day, and I only post things that I genuinely find interesting, and which I think that others will also find of interest. Of course, only time will tell if others do find my tweets interesting, and I guess that I will adapt over time to deliver more of what gets the best results.
I'm still experimenting with Twitter to see what works, but Neil Ryder, who has been tweeting for just a few weeks longer than I have, has posted a great blog entry on what he learnt in his first 2 weeks. I found this to be both an interesting read and a useful guide to where I might look to make Twitter more successful for me, and thoroughly recommend you take a look.
I can also recommend Why you need Twitter, a blog post by Penelope Else, a really nicely written post on why you need to understand Twitter from the inside (which might explain why I have taken so long to get in).
thinking. Wouldn't it be fun to come up with a tool that worked out a kind of twitter popularity score, based upon the loose concept that a person might be a worthwhile follow if they had acquired more followers than they were themselves following, or if they had a high ratio of followers to the number of tweets that they made. If I could bring this to the attention of the twitter community, who in turn visited my website to play with the tool and see where they were in the league table of, well, 'interesting', then I would be well on my way to achieving a goal of delivering more website traffic plus understanding more about Twitter itself, and I might even pick up a few followers along the way.
Well, after a couple of days fiddling about, the tool (just for fun, you understand) is ready. You can see it here. Please go and take a look, and let me know what you think. I know, it's a shameless attempt to lure you all to my website to play a completely pointless game, but it's an experiment to see what works. The algorithm is my secret for now, and I may tweak it in future. One of my initial thoughts is to develop something akin to Google Pagerank, where each Twitter user is ranked according to the strength / value of those following them. This is a little way off, and may well be a step further into pointlessness, but it might appeal to some.

Amazon: Kindle Users Need To Update Or Lose Connectivity
A number of Kindle e-reader models need to install a critical software update by March 22, or risk losing the ability to connect to the Internet.
Siri, Cortana Are Listening: How 5 Digital Assistants Use Your Data
Amazon is warning Kindle e-reader users to install a critical software update by Tuesday, March 22. Otherwise they risk the abilities to download Kindle books and access the Kindle Store or Kindle services.
Kindle users would be wise to hop on doing the update as soon as possible ahead of cut-off date to avoid the inconvenience.
Here is a list of affected Kindle devices along with the software versions each should be running:
Kindle 1st generation (2007), software version 1.2.1
Kindle 2nd generation (2009), software version 2.5.8. Device needs to have connected to the Internet since Oct. 5, 2015
Kindle DX 2nd generation (2009), software version 2.5.8. Device needs to have connected to the Internet since Oct. 5, 2015
Kindle Keyboard 3rd generation (2010), software version 3.4.2 or higher. Needs to connect to WiFi for latest software update
Kindle 4th generation (2011), software version 4.1.3 or higher
Kindle Touch 4th generation (2011), software version 5.3.7.3 or higher. Needs to connect to WiFi for latest software update
Kindle Paperwhite 6th generation (2012), software version 5.6.1.1 or higher. Needs to connect to WiFi for latest software update
Users who fail to install the critical update will see an error message flashing across their screen that says that the device is unable to connect to the Internet.

Those users will have to install the update manually.
Amazon has been nudging customers for a while to install the critical update, an Amazon spokeswoman told InformationWeek.

"We have actively been contacting customers to encourage them to update their Kindle e-readers for months," the spokeswoman said, noting, "As I'm sure you can appreciate, the number of affected devices is not something we would share."
However, according to a Forbes report, potentially millions of Kindle e-reader customers could be affected. The reported estimated that Amazon sold approximately 2.4 million Kindle e-readers in 2009, a number that rose to 20.1 million Kindle devices in 2012.
When Amazon launched its high-end Kindle Paperwhite in 2012, the Internet e-commerce giant noted at the time it did not have clear visibility into whether it was leading to additional sales for its other products or services. Users who do not do the critical update may find themselves locked out of the Kindle Store and its services.

Make it on time?
I'm really curious about the success of the updates. Were all these devices updated? The suspense is killing me.


The Brass Tap is now open in Midtown.
>>See where else to eat and drink in Midtown and Montrose.
Midtown is awash with hops. Several beer bars occupy the neighborhood, and as of Monday there's one more place to find taps pouring: The Brass Tap, 922 Holman.
This is the first Houston location for the Florida- based national chain, which already has several locations across the state, including Austin and Fort Worth.
While it's a wide-reaching business, the new Midtown beer bar promises to offer mostly local brews, a bourbon program and a staff experienced in craft beer who can recommend new brews to patrons.
"All of our staff are experienced in the Houston beer scene. Everybody that works here have to go through beer training," co-owner Carey Seay explains, adding that their assistant manager, Dave Sorrell, is a level-2 Cicerone who helps train the staff. Cicerone is a certification program for beer industry professionals.
That doesn't mean it's a destination for beer snobs only, the owner explains, in fact he welcomes guests to ask what local craft beer might replace their macrobrew of choice.
"What sets us apart is instead of chic, semi-trendy we're more of a neighborhood place," Seay said. "Things are a little more comfortable, and we have TVs if you want to watch the game."
In addition to local craft brews and wine, the menu also features some cocktails and small dishes. On the food menu is sophisticated comfort food: Korean barbecue pulled-pork nachos, tempura beer-battered shrimp, cod tacos and angus burgers.
"We call it upscale bar food," Seay describes. "Everything, even tater-tots are made fresh."
Happy hour offers plates starting at $4 and select drinks at $3. Up next for the newly-opened bar is a Sunday brunch with $4 mimosas and live music from noon to 3 p.m. In keeping with the bar's commitment to local, Houston bands will take the stage.
The Brass Tap is now pouring beer at 922 Holman Street Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story misspelled co-owner Carey Seay's name.


Are Data Standards the Key to Blockchain Adoption in Real Estate?
I remember my shock upon first researching the New York City office market. The average price per square foot seemed impossibly high, even for one of the most expensive markets in the world. After a quick search I found out that New York leases calculate rental price per square foot on an annual basis. This made every rent I looked at twelve times higher than an identical California property, where we use a monthly metric.
This is a fairly simple example, but it drives home the point of how different commercial real estate data can be. Since historically most commercial property deals are done with local representation, discrepancies in data were never that consequential. That was until the world started connecting using a technology that we now know as the internet.
The ability to research markets, find deals and communicate with clients regardless of their geographic location changed the way everyone in the real estate industry did business. It also made it much more important to record information in a standardized way. Computing technology relies on consistency. Systems can be designed to perform the most complex tasks, but only if the data is delivered in a format that it can recognize. Small differences matter. A computer program might not be designed to intuit discrepancies in data like the difference in price per square foot calculations in New York versus California.
That is why OSCRE is in the process of creating a blockchain initiative. The project started with identifying potential use cases, and will move forward to proof of concept models and pilot projects to explore a variety of real estate applications.
But in order for blockchain technology to be put to work across the real estate industry, organizations need to have standardized data. Blockchain, much like the internet, is all about information exchange. The technology allows a distributed ledger to be created and protected in a way that all participants can rely on. For it to work all the information must be recorded in the same format.
You can't have a discussion about blockchain without a recognition of the importance of a data governance program.You can't have data governance without a framework based on standards.
This means that the blockchain must be built with a shared standardized data framework for effective data governance. "You can't have a discussion about blockchain without a recognition of the importance of a data governance program.You can't have data governance without a framework based on standards," Lisa told me during our conversation.
I have to be honest here about the fact that I did not fully understand what a data governance program is. I figured everyone could just agree on a standardized way to record their information and could then go on their merry way. The reality, as it always seems to be, is much more complicated. Consistency in terms and definitions are critical to the implementation of emerging technologies, including blockchain. Systems must be created to ensure that the data doesn't get entered incorrectly and any changes have to be agreed upon by all users.
OSCRE's initiative to create an industry collaboration focused on blockchain is a first for real estate. Two of the industries that commercial real estate interacts with have already established collaborative efforts. The insurance industry has created the B3i initiative where it's more than 45 members operate under a Memorandum of Understanding that enables them "to share costs and resources efficiently and deliver a rapid prototype development," according to the site.
Commercial real estate has been notoriously resistant to change. If the industry wants to get ahead of the impact that blockchain will cause it will have to find ways to use the technology to its advantage, and soon. The first step is to start with the data that drives business decisions, ensuring consistency in the terms and definitions that are use in every transaction. Then they will have to create a framework for collaboration since many of the advantages of blockchain technology come from increased ability to share information through a safe channel. Finally, every company that uses a distributed ledger will have to follow a data governance plan to keep the information in its required format. Blockchain will change almost every part of the real estate industry, but only after we enact a few changes ourselves.
