ANNOUNCEMENT: ETALK'S BEN MULRONEY TO HOST FIGHT TO END CANCER 2016!
Filed Under: Boxing News
The Fight To End Cancer is absolutely thrilled to announce that Ben Mulroney (Anchor, CTV's ETALK) will host the 5th Annual Fight To End Cancer Gala, in support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, as our Official FTEC2016 Master of Ceremonies!
Ben will be donating his time, for the entire duration of the evening, and will surely help make our event an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Ben and his team at Bell Media for taking part in the Fight To End Cancer.
We are looking forward to seeing Ben in our ring on Saturday June 4th, at Toronto's historic Old Mill Inn!
We asked Ben a few questions about what being a part of an event like ours, means to him personally. You can read his brief interview and full biography, below.
What Company do you work for?
What is your job title and description?
Anchor of CTV's ETALK – the #1 most-watched entertainment newsmagazine in Canada.
The Fight To End Cancer gala raises funds for the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. Have you ever worked at any other fundraiser that supports them?
Yes, last May I had the honor of hosting the 'Tailoring Care' event for Princess Margaret, in support of men's health. I've also hosted other events, in Toronto and LA, for the Rally for Kids With Cancer.
Has cancer ever affected you, or anyone in your life?
I have been fortunate enough that none of my closest friends, or family have battled cancer, but it is a near certainty that they will one day.
In figurative terms, what does being a part of the Fight To End Cancer, mean to you?
There are so many forms of cancer, so to be a part of this fight is to be part of the most noble war of our lifetime. To imagine a world without cancer, is to picture a future where millions of lives are spared, where pain is lessened, where time, energy and money are devoted to other things, other goals, other passions. This is, by definition, a better world and one we all deserve.
Ben Mulroney Biography
Anchor, CTV's ETALK:
Ben Mulroney considers himself a pretty lucky guy. "I love movies, television and music, so as Anchor of Canada's #1 entertainment show, ETALK, I can say this is my dream job."
A veteran of entertainment reporting for more than a decade, Montreal-born Mulroney is an expert in his industry and is regarded by many Hollywood stars (north and south of the border) as a friendly face, a respected journalist and a pro at his job. Mulroney got his start as the Quebec City Correspondent for talktv's The Chatroom in 2000, before becoming co-host on the interactive show in July 2001. He then moved to a new role of entertainment reporter for CTV's CANADA AM in October 2001. Mulroney was also the host of CANADIAN IDOL for six seasons.
Now in his 14th year with ETALK, Mulroney delivers entertainment news daily from the ETALK studio in Toronto, and travels the world to interview the biggest stars – reporting from the biggest red carpet events, including the OSCARS®, GOLDEN GLOBES® and JUNO Awards.
Mulroney added radio airwaves to his repertoire in 2009, as host and co-creator of ETALK 20, a weekly two-hour radio show that aired on 11 Bell Media Radio stations across Canada. In February 2010, Mulroney reported on entertainment news from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games for CTV. In April 2012, Mulroney joined LIVE! WITH KELLY host Kelly Ripa as co-host on the popular daytime talk show, in one-of-four shows that aired live from Banff, AB. Less than a month later, Mulroney was invited back to share the LIVE! stage with Ripa, co-hosting for the second time from her set in New York City. Impressed with his co-hosting duties, ABC News announced in June 2012 that Mulroney would add the role of contributor to his resume for the Weekend Edition of their popular EMMY® Award-winning morning news program, GOOD MORNING AMERICA (GMA).
Mulroney found his calling in show business, not politics, despite being the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and having a law degree from Laval University and a history degree from Duke University.
In 2012, Mulroney was the national spokesperson for WaterCan, a charity focused on bringing drinking water to those most in need. In this capacity, he helped raise funds and awareness by climbing the highest peak in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Most recently, Mulroney became Cystic Fibrosis Canada's new National Ambassador, leading the organization's Great Strides™ Walk in Toronto – a fundraising event in support of CF research and care programs. Mulroney is also on the board of The Shoebox Project for Shelters, a national charitable organization, whose mission is to collect and distribute gifts packaged in shoeboxes to women in shelters across Canada and to help raise awareness about homelessness.
Married to fashion designer and stylist Jessica Mulroney, Mulroney is also the proud father of their two twin boys, Brian Gerald Alexander and John Benedict Dimitri, born in August 2010, and daughter Isabel Veronica ("Ivy"), born June 2013.

The "Canon" of Modern Arabic Literature?
Share Thread: Facebook Twitter Google+
prieti
The Canon: two words that, with their self-conscious capitals, imply the existence of a fixed literature. The Canon assumes a literature considered to be important in a certain culture. The term has the air of existence without contingency and inviolability. Before embarking on our actual subject, a discussion of modern Arabic literature, it is useful to dwell on the implications of a canon.
Literary works are allowed into a canon for several reasons. A reason can, for instance, be that these works have contributed to the formation of the mentality of a culture. We should not deny the significance of these literary products and pay due attention to them, but there is a danger in doing this. Once a work is part of the canon we often see that reading it becomes an almost obligatory and mechanical habit. The consequences are that canonization tends to produce readers who cannot read independently and that canonical works sometimes maintain their status because of this phenomenon.
As we want to highlight certain aspects of the development of modern Arabic literature and discuss some of its canonical authors, the question arises, how can we do this without endangering a deeper establishment of a fixed canon? How can we prevent feeding the reader descriptive words with prescriptive power?
We have several devices to our disposal to describe and, at the same time, question the canon of modern Arabic literature. An important device is an awareness that we are dealing with a collection of literature that is formed and which is changeable. To illustrate the feasibility of the canon we will, furthermore, have a quick look at the representation of modern Arabic literature in non-Arab countries.
Although most scholars describing the development of modern Arabic literature take as their starting point the 18th century, we will for our present purposes jump into the 20th century and begin there. We see that modern Arabic literature is characterized by two main forces: the revival of the heritage of the past and the influence of the West. Political events had a major impact on the process, resulting in regional differences in the literary development. A consequence was that Egypt and Syro-Lebanon occupied a central position in this field. For our discussion let us subdivide literature in the three "classical" genres: poetry, fiction, and drama.
In the area of poetry one can distinguish different schools. The neoclassical school, in which the rules of metrification and rhyme are observed, is, for instance, represented by Ahmad Shawqi, who is also known as the "prince of poets." Neoclassical Iraqi poets like Jamil Az-Zahawi and Ma`ruf Ar-Rassafi were popular because of their condemnation of foreign domination. Khalil Mutran, a writer in the neoclassical style, also advocated the unity of the poem and the expression of personal feelings in the verses.
These two elements were forerunners of the romantic developments in poetry which would be stimulated by the so-called Mahjar school, the group of Arabs who migrated to America. An important member of this group and the leader of the Bond of the Pen was Gibran Khalil Gibran. Through journals like Al-Sa'ih (The Traveler), the poetry and ideas of this group found their way to the Middle East and this way interaction with the Middle Eastern literature came about.
A name that should also be mentioned in relation with romanticism is Sa`id `Aql. In the verses of this symbolist poet, beauty was revered and his symbolic language influenced poets from the following generation. His detachment from life and his views on the purpose of poetry, however, provoked a discussion about the role of the poet and the degree of commitment to society.
Another important change we see in this period concerns the form. Today few poets still compose in the traditional way. The majority write verses of varying length in free or blank verse, tha is, with or without rhyme and meter. The prose poem is again another kind of poetry that is composed by poets like Adunis and Jabra Ibrahim Jabra.
With regard to fiction we already stumble over differences of opinion from the beginning. On the one hand we have a group of mainly Western scholars who hold that the novel first appeared in Arabic literature in the 20th century under influence of Western literature. Other scholars argue that the Arabic literature has a long tradition of storytelling, examples of which are the epic folk romances of `Antara and of Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan, The Hilali cycles of chivalric romance, The Thousand and One Nights, Ibn Tufayl's philosophical romance Hayy ibn Yaqzan, Al-Ma`arri's Epistle of Forgiveness, and a selection of other works. It is true that Arabic literature does have a narrative tradition, like most cultures, but it cannot be denied that the Arabic novel has developed to the present form under influence of Western literature.
One of the first contributions to this genre in the 20th century was Zaynab, written by Muhammad Husayn Haykal. The next two decades witnessed a refinement of the novelistic technique with writers like Al-Mazini, Mahmud Taymur, and Taha Husayn.
Another type of fiction, the short story, also developed in the same century. In this genre one sees character portraits and sketches of situations which remind of the European fiction. Contributors to the short story include Mahmud Taymur and Yahya Haqqi.
The master of Arabic fiction who cannot go unmentioned is, of course, Naguib Mahfuz. This writer played a central role in the development of the genre. He first started writing historical novels, but soon changed his course and focused on the present. As a result Arabic literature was enriched with a series of social-realist novels in which the novelistic techniques are well-developed. Other writers who addressed the problems of their society are Yusuf Idris and `Abdur-Rahman Al-Sharqawi. Ghassan Kanaffani, `Abd As-Salaam Al-`Ujayli, Hanna Mina, Gha'ib Tu`ma Farman are some of the writers whose artistic talent should also be noted.
At present, fiction occupies a prominent position within Arabic literature, especially when one compares it to poetry, which used to be the favorite among the Arabs. Writers of this generation include Isma`il Fahd Isma`il, `Abdur-Rahman Munif, and Zakariyya Tamir.
As with fiction, there is a difference of opinion whether drama is a traditional Arab medium. Some argue that drama was known to the Arabs of old as we see in, for instance, a Shiite "passion play" called Ta`ziya. Other writers, like Yusuf Idris, hold the opinion that the way in which Arabic drama has developed confirms that it was derived almost entirely from Europe. As a consequence, it would be "foreign" to the Arab experience.
Continuing a development that started in the 19th century, writers concentrated on intellectual drama. An important figure in this field has been Tawfiq Al-Hakim, who has written more than 60 plays in which he used, among others, the Qur'an, The Thousand and One Nights, and Greek myths as a source of inspiration to discuss philosophical ideas. Drama has also become a powerful weapon to propagate political and social ideas and, therefore, it often attracts the negative interest of the government.

Q: The weak convergence between $L^2$ and $H^1$ If the sequence $u_n\in H^1(R^n)$, $n\geq 3$ and $u_n$ weak converges to $u$ in $H^1(R^n)$, if we can get $u_n$ weak converges to $u$ in $L^2(R^n)$? Furthermore, if we can have $\nabla u_n$ weak converges to $\nabla u$ in $L^2(R^n)$?
Probably, this question is elementary. We have know that under some condition (such as regular bounded) on the domain $\Omega\subset R^n$, any bounded sequences in $H^1(R^n)$ with weak convergence in $H^1(R^n)$ implies that $u_n$ weak converges to $u$ in $L^2(R^n)$.
Is the fact true if $\Omega\subset R^n$, no matter bounded or unbounded?
Thank you very much if you can give me a reply!

Beautiful lines and round shapes are monumental for my designs. I see inspiration all around me, but I get most ideas from nature. I am always looking for special leaves, flowers, shells and other shapes as inspiration for my jewelry.
In addition to my permanent collections I also make small quantities of one of a kind jewelry. Gemstones are very popular in the one-of-a-kind collections. That is because there are only a few gems to find. The gemstone is usually the starting point of the design. It is important to make a piece of jewelry that works for the gemstone, that's why I let the gemstone inspire the design.
Gemstones, diamonds and pearls have something magical about them. They intrigue and enrich a piece of jewelry. That is why I am always looking for special treasures. I have a few favorite suppliers that I know are always carrying the best of the best. I also always try to make sure that the origin of the gems and pearls is sustainable. That sometimes works and sometimes it does not. Fairtrade gems are unfortunately difficult to find because in this branch sustainability is not yet sufficiently developed. The pearls I use are mostly sustainable and Fairtrade.


I usually find ideas from real life that would make great short stories. How can I make it fiction instead of just retelling the real event?
I want to write a short story about claustrophobia. How do I develop this idea?
What is magical realism? How is it different than fantasy?
Why is the use of a deus ex machina discouraged in storytelling?
Can I use the same theme from another writer's book as long as I change the characters and the situations?
Does a story have to have a moral?
In magical realism the world appears much like our own, but also includes an element of the extraordinary. In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa awakes one morning to find he has turned into a giant insect. In Stacey Richter's "The Cavemen in the Hedges," cavemen scurry in backyards, rummage through trash, and adore shiny objects. In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," Pelayo finds an angel with "huge buzzard wings, dirty and half-plucked" in his courtyard after a rainstorm. Still, the extraordinary is firmly rooted in the ordinary. "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" is populated with human characters, such as Pelayo's feverish newborn and the local priest, Father Gonzaga. And the story is anchored in details the reader recognizes from her own reality: rain, sea and sky, a chicken coop.
When I was about five, one day an electrician came to our house in Aracataca to change the meter . . . On one of these occasions, I found my grandmother trying to shoo away a butterfly with a duster, saying, 'Whenever this man comes to the house, that yellow butterfly follows him.' That was Mauricio Babilonia in embryo.
Garcia Marquez exaggerates this occurrence in One Hundred Years of Solitude, but he's also highlighting the very real kind of magic that exists in our daily lives.
Fantasy is very different. While magical realism situates readers in a predominantly realistic world, fantasy takes place in an unreal world with unreal characters. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a popular example of fantasy. The trilogy's characters include Hobbits, who are little people with big feet, as well as Elves, Dwarves, Fairies, Ents, and Wizards. It also features a ring that bestows power but corrupts those who possess it. Fantasy creates different places and species, ones that exist outside of our world. While magical realism stays grounded in our own reality, fantasy breaks free of it.

Q: K&R 1.6 Arrays // Digit representation in an array construct I found this example code on using arrays in the C language.
#include <stdio.h>

main () {
    int c, i;
    int ndigit[10];

for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    ndigit[i]=0;

while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    if (c >= '0' && c <= '9')
        ++ndigit[c - '0'];

printf("digits =");
for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    printf(" %d", ndigit[i]);
}

I never saw arrays before, but I think I got it.
Still, I'm not sure on why the digit values have to be inserted in '..' nor why the assignement of i has to be expressed as c-'0'.
This is a passage of the book that should clarify my doubts:

This particolar program relies on the properties of the character representation of the digits. For example the text if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') determines whether the characters in c is a digit. If it is, the numeric value if that digit is c - '0'.

I don't understand how can these values be used in arithmetical expressions if they are characters, is it because they are mapped to numerical values?
Then why the whole program just doesn't work if they are written as numbers as in if (c >= 0 && c <= 9) nor it works if c isn't written in that way (which to my understanding is just "whatever number c is minus 0).

A: TL;DR: a "char" is just a one-byte-long integer.

I don't understand how can these values be used in arithmetical expressions if they are characters, is it because they are mapped to numerical values?

In C, a char is the "smallest addressable unit of the machine that can contain basic character set. It is an integer type." [1]. Normally, char is equivalent to "a one-byte-long integer", so they can hold values from 0 to (2^8)-1, or [0,255].
That being said, when you write
char c = '9';

You are saying "c is a one-byte-long integer whose value is the character-set representation of the character 9". By looking at the most common character set, the ASCII table [2], we see that the character 9 has an integer value of 57, so the above expression is equivalent to
char c = 57;

To convert a digit's character-set value to the digit itself (e.g. '9' to 9, or 57 to 9), you can rely on a property of character sets that digits are always stored sequentially and increasingly, and just subtract by the value of '0', which in ASCII is 48, so:
char c;
c = '9' - '0'; /* = 9 In any character set */
c = 57 - 48;   /* = 9 */
c = '9' - 48;  /* = 9 In ASCII */
c = 57 - '0';  /* = 9 In ASCII */

Keep in mind that while ASCII is the most common character set, this is actually machine-dependent.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types#Basic_types
[2] http://www.asciitable.com/

A: if you see the man page of getchar() it says

....reads the next character from stdin and returns it as an unsigned char cast to an int....

So, an input of a digit [example, 9] is treated as a char input and the corresponding encoded [Usually ASCII] value is returned by getchar().
Now coming to your question(s),

why the digit values have to be inserted in '..'

A digit [or any other character, for that matter], written as '.', represents the corresponding ASCII value of the same. Check the ASCII table here.
For understanding, a 9 is a 9 whereas a '9' represents the correcsponding ASCII 57.

why the assignment of i has to be expressed as c-'0'.

If you notice the ASCII table closely, you can see, the corresponding values of 0 to 9 are in sequence. So, to get the particular digit as an int value, we can do c - '0' which is same as c - 48 which will give us the digit as an int.

A:
I don't understand how can these values be used in arithmetical
  expressions if they are characters, is it because they are mapped to
  numerical values?

getchar() returns the character read.Prototype for it is
int getchar(void)

When a character is read getchar() returns the ASCII value of the char read.
The ASCII value for char's 0 to 9 are contiguous. So just making use of it if we have
char ch = '5';
int i = ch - '0'; /* 53 - 48 = 5 */

will give you the integer value 5. Converting character to integer. The arithmetic is performed by implicit conversion.
If you have a character '8' then this doesn't give you the integer value 8 but retuns ASCII value 56. So during arithmetic ch - '0' since both are char's the respective ASCII values are used and the arithmetic operation is performed


Beside the fresh plants, unique dolls also can be the nice centerpiece for your Table Decorations. If you have some dolls collections, you can decorate your table with some dolls. You can make it as centerpiece, or you can put some dolls on the corner of the table. However, if you want to display it on the corner, make sure that the display of your table is next to the wall. The result is so cute. Some beautiful Round Table Decorations looks more beautiful with the unique dolls.

Live Review: Isis/Torche
December 10, 2008 Michael	Leave a comment
Venue: Scala, London
It's a shitter not having much money. But ATP, the promoters behind the upcoming Nightmare Before Christmas weekender have been generous in the gifts they've offered music fans this holiday season. Tonight's show is, on paper, the best present of them all. Torche have had every music critic jumping at the chance to anally satisfy them, and ISIS are a band who have such a consistently incredible discography that there's no way tonight can ever turn into a disappointment.
Jon Jon, head of security at the Scala braves the stage first to warm the crowd up, and read them a few verses from the copy of the Rock Bible he has in his hand (and incidentally is available on the merch stand). No smiles on stage, no one but the drummer is allowed to wear shorts on stage, and under no circumstances must a band member come onto stage wearing a cowboy hat. Cue the entrance of Torche, and in true rock and roll style, the rules are immediately thrown out of the window.
Now reduced to a trio after the recent departure of lead guitarist Juan Montoya, any questions as to whether the power of the band's live show would be affected is immediately diminished. If anything the cut back only seems to have helped the band's sound, with everything sounding richer and clearer, although 'Piranah' still felt like being beaten to death by a cosmic sludge monster.
Toche vocalist Steve Brooks has a terrifying smile.
The band never let up, with only a few technical difficulties halting the blistering pace, the band playing tracks from their whole catalogue. Live, the older tracks sound reformed – 'In Return' absolutely thunders around the room and penultimate track 'Charge' sees drummer Rick Smith beating the shit out of his poor kit, a character that the stage can barely contain as he gets up and down like a slow motion Lars Ulrich (albeit one who can actually play).
It's vocalist/guitarist Steve Brooks who really shows how much this means to the band, who a year ago were hitherto unknown. His creepy smile glares from every angle of the room, and as their short set comes to an abrupt conclusion the crowd are left reeling. Any longer and the magic might have worn off, but for now Torche have proven themselves an awesome spectacle.
The Rock Bible is more adhered to by ISIS (or 15 15 as Jon Jon introduced them as), their carefully measured personas not allowing any smiles to creep past the dark and solid riffs. 'So Did We' is an incredible opener, and Aaron Turner's intimidating posture and terrifying roar grab the crowd's attention and never lets up. Tonight his voice is just as dominating as it is on record, and you can sense the palpitations of around five hundred hearts as the band tear into 'Grinning Mouths'.
One pleasant surprise tonight is the debut of a new song, presumably set to make an appearance on the band's new album next year. Those that were a little disappointed with last year's In The Absence of Truth will be glad to know that there is little space age wandering here – there's a much stronger focus on a single destructive risk, and Turner's voice again has to be accredited for making tonight's audience stain their underwear, assuming they were wearing any.
Aaron Turner is an incredibly dominating presence on stage.
Despite a focus on the last two albums there were a few older treats that sounded just as brutal tonight as they did all those years ago, and set closer 'The Beginning and the End' sets the crowd all a quiver, drummer Aaron Harris thumping out a flawless hypnotising rhythm.
The two song encore is the icing on the cake, with 'Hive Destruction' from 1998's Mosquito Control EP reminding the audience how mind-blowing the seemingly forgotten EP is compared to the more experimental path the band tread these days . The band close on Oceanic's 'Carry', the sinking intro dragging the audience down into a calm lull, before the colossal weight of another pressurised riff crashes down amongst us all.
I've heard grumbles in the past about ATP's dedication to putting on the same bands, but tonight there are no complaints (other than the Scala's extortionate alcohol prices) from me. Two bands, perfectly matched, created a fantastic evening of tight and awe-inspiring live music, which can only ever be a good thing. Their humble attitudes are much appreciated, the members of ISIS walking off with just a simple thank you. No bullshit, no elaborate stage show, no time wasting. Just heavy tunes shared amongst a crowd of likeminded individuals that love the sensation of walls of noise falling on top of them.

The logic behind departure times
That early morning dash to the airport is the trademark of many a holiday. It's also the signature lifestyle for those who work in aviation. For cabin crew or airport staff of any kind, the somewhat unsociable hours are a way of life. For the traveller, it's a minor inconvenience as a precursor to the fun and excitement of a trip away.
Although there are occasional drawbacks, there are huge advantages to early flight times too. Quite simply, it needs to be that way to avoid congestion and keep things running smoothly both on the ground and in the skies.
Here are just some of the reasons behind setting your alarm early for a trip to the airport, whether you're a professional or a passenger.
• For short-haul flights of four hours or less, the early start usually means fitting in an outbound and inbound journey within a 12-hour pattern which doesn't go too late into the night – and clash with the long-haul flights coming in.
• Long-haul inbound flights often travel through the night to reach their destinations. This is why they are often called the 'red-eye' as they may disrupt a person's usual sleep pattern. But, they need to do so to keep the skies clear for the domestic, regional or short-haul flights which wouldn't be doing their routes in the middle of the night.
• Planning an airline schedule requires ultimate precision. We all know that Heathrow has only two runways, which a mindboggling fact in itself. Yet, a plane uses one of those runways every 45 seconds. Marry that up with managing flight paths and coordinating times with both the departure and arrivals destinations and it's soon easy to understand why the times wouldn't always be your first choice.
• Flight times are planned to make allowances for factors which could be outside of human control, such as a lack of tailwind or an unexpected delayed take off. Current EU regulations mean that the delay payment scheme, which provides compensation for inconvenienced passengers, is based on arrivals times. So, flights are often planned with this in mind. They allow a little longer for the journey than is strictly necessary under optimum conditions. It also ensures that the plane can reach its destination at its allotted slot even if something doesn't go quite according to plan.
• The benefits of flight times can be for the passenger too. Just because it's an early start at the departures lounge doesn't mean it is the same at your destination's arrivals gate. This is especially the case for long-haul flights to countries which are 'behind' us in a different time zone. An early flight from London means a full day when you land in New York, for example. It's a great way to make the most of your holiday. This is also the case with short-haul flights – have an early start but then enjoy two full days in your chosen destination for that weekend away.
It takes a team of experts to keep the world of aviation ticking over just as it should be. If you think you have what it takes, browse our latest vacancies both on the ground and in the air here.

Q: How to avoid ESS underscore automatic subsitution with '<-' when pasting text but keep it when writing an underscore When using ESS under emacs for writing R code, is useful to have the default behavior os having '_' substituted by '<-' (inserting two consecutive '_' would insert the underscore itself). But when pasting code to any buffer in ESS-mode, this substituion also happens and any '_' gets substituted by '<-' and this is not a desired behavior by me.
Is there a way of preventing the substitution only when pasting text?
At the moment I have fully disabled the substitution adding this code to my .emacs
(ess-toggle-underscore nil)

But I would like to recover the '_' to '<-' substitution only when writing not when pasting.
Any idea?

A: This should not happen. Please report a bug with more details to ess-help or with M-x ess-submit-bug-report. You are pasting in a terminal session right?


Second World War at Sea: Islands is one of the coolest things we've ever made. It's a set of extra pieces for use with any Second World War at Sea game: like the name says, these are islands. You place them on the Tactical Map where the scenario instructions tell you to put the island marker. The games come with a small island marker; these wonderful new islands take up the entire hex.
There are many kinds of islands, for use in the many places to which Second World War at Sea games take you: jungle islands, forest islands, rocky islands, frozen islands. They cover just one hex (which is the usual size of a Second World War at Sea island) and they also cover multiple hexes and strips of coastline. They turn that standard blue Tactical Map into a colorful miniatures table, with islands rising out of the seas.
You don't need these to play Second World War at Sea: you can mark off the islands and coastlines just fine with pennies or quids. But really, do you want your battleships steaming past these glorious jungle-covered islands, or Abe Lincoln's coppery head?
We're not selling the Islands set – they're special for the Gold Club only, a special gift that's part of our SWWAStravaganza rollout of four upcoming new naval games.

Microtek Hybrid Inverter comes with its motive to let there be light to light every life on planet earth. Just like the almighty created the notion of day and associated it with light and the notion of night and associated it with darkness. Man invented certain ways to ensure that human life receives immense light through a natural yet technical method. All thanks to the man-made hybrid inverter or smart grid inverter which serves to be a perfect blend of nature (natural resources) and nurture (material resources) and positively utilizes the solar or renewable energy to generate electricity.
Microtek Hybrid inverters are designed to fight the feeling of light has gone and light house every residential or commercial building space. Microtek makes sure that no innocent kid, no hardworking professional and no elder citizen gets lost in the darkness.
Microtek is one of the leading UPS brands. It is one of the largest elephant sized manufacturers of power appliances providing excellent products for everyday essential use like offline UPS, online UPS, TPZi wave inverter, and solar inverter, sine wave inverter and solar inverter. Microtek also offers long-life batteries for Okaya inverter. It started manufacturing e-rickshaw batteries to support the growth of e-vehicles. Microtek has formed its successful web of providing 355 service links and 150 contact services spread across India.
SIX VISUAL TEACHER-LIKE INDICATORS: To keep a stern check on the performance of the inverter, Microtek comes up with six teacher-like indicators on the LED display to red-mark any flaws and faults. It gives an updated notification to the user regarding the low battery, blown fuse, mains on and overload.
A STATIC BYPASS FEATURE TO MONITOR UNNECESSARY POWER CUTS: Latest Max series comes with highly advanced static bypass feature. So it there is some internal trouble and the teacher like Microtek inverter stops working, then static bypass acts as a class monitor. It independently bypasses mains and works the load without taking any external help from the battery for the supply of power assistance.
GROW GREEN WITH DSC TECHNOLOGY: Inverters which contain the ability of power conversion from DC (Direct Current) to AC (Alternating current) are designed to breathe life within different voltage ranges and topologies. Beside, the mere capability to convert DC to AC, modern Microtek inverters assures to perform and outperform with its additional features like power maximization, battery charging and protecting the circuitry.
But these varied variations need a support system to effectively regulate its healthy functioning. Digital signal controller (DSC) inverters from JM series comes as a backbone to hold the real-time signal processing in the inverters.
DSCs used in Microtek models help inverters to perform in a more efficient and cost-effective manner and meet the energy needs on mother earth in eco-friendly manner.
TO RECHARGE SOLAR UPS BATTERY WITH PWM TECHNOLOGY: At, Microtek we understand how difficult, irritating and time-consuming it becomes to charge a UPS Solar based inverter. Microtek actively presents the usage of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which helps in achieving a constant battery charging by switching on the solar system controller's power devices skillfully.
Effectively regulates even during voltage and temperature fluctuation.

Q: How to deserialize firebase fetch Im not quite sure how to go about deserializing the list i'm retrieving from my firebase database.
The fetch:
 var x = (await firebase
                .Child(ChildName)
                .OnceAsync<Userlogin>()).Select(item =>
                new Userlogin
                {
                    user_login = item.Object.user_login,
                    passwords = item.Object.passwords
                }).ToList();

The error im getting:
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.

The Error is rather Self explanatory Im just not sure how to approach it, using the current method as its already going to a list so im just not sure
I tried something like :
  public async Task<List<Userlogin>> GetAllUser()
        {
            try
            {
                var x =  (await firebase
                .Child(ChildName)
                .OnceAsync<Userlogin>()).Select(item =>
                new Userlogin
                {
                    user_login = item.Object.user_login,
                    passwords = item.Object.passwords
                }).ToString();

                List<Userlogin> datalist = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Userlogin>>(x);

                return datalist;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                Crashes.TrackError(e);

                return null;
            }

        }

A: At first, please make sure the ChildName in the Child(ChildName) is the table name in the database.
And then, you can check this case which has the same error and the problem is the structure of the data.
In addition, you can try the following code if you use (item => new Userlogin{ }).ToString();
datalist = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, Userlogin>>(content).Values.ToList()

Texas Stars a Big Winner in Patrick Sharp Trade
Posted by Stephen Meserve on July 11, 2015
Stephen Johns (Credit: Christina Shapiro/Texas Stars)
Last night, the Dallas Stars broke the news on Periscope (of all places) that they had acquired Patrick Sharp from the Chicago Blackhawks. The vet winger has three Stanley Cups and was high on the wishlist of several teams this year. He was available due to the Blackhawks cap space issues. Initial reports last week had the Hawks asking for a first round pick, a top prospect and a top six forward still on his entry level deal. Jim Nill played the patience game and appears to have won yet another July trade.
The big news for Texas Stars fans in all of this is the second half of the trade return: defenseman Stephen Johns. Sharp and Johns joined the organization with Trevor Daley and Ryan Garbutt heading to the Windy City. If you'll remember, Stephen Johns played a great series against the Texas Stars in the first round of the playoffs, scoring the OT winner to eliminate Texas.
Even before that, the Stars media contingent had recognized that Johns was a special player. Sean Shapiro and I selected Johns for our all-rookie ballot. As explained here, Sean wrote why:
According to the league, Stephen Johns isn't even the best rookie defenseman on his team. That would go to Ville Pokka (no, he's not a bond villain working with Magnus Hellberg), who led all rookie defenseman with 30 points (8 goals, 22 assists).
We, of course, would disagree.
As an overall player, we were more impressed with Johns in both games at the Cedar Park Center. He also happens to lead the AHL in plus/minus at plus-27, no other rookie is in the top-15.
Johns also has 18 points (4 goals, 14 assists) in 45 games.
Johns had a goal and two assist in the three games against Texas. He played physically and is only a second-year AHLer this coming season. The addition of Johns does a lot to bolster a shaky defensive group in terms of experience, physicality and defensive defensemen. Here's a look at the current seven in Cedar Park now that Johns has been added (no logic to these pairings, just listing all seven):
Honka-Lindell
Backman-Johns
Mangene-Blacker
Bystrom
Folks have been pointing to Lindell and Honka as potential injury callups or 'cup of coffee' callups this year for Dallas. You can add Johns to that list now as well. I think you could put Johns in the mold of what Patrik Nemeth did for the Stars. Munch heavy minutes in tough situations and play really great PK for the squad. That was a gap on the roster until last night.

Great acquisition I agree. One more goalie and things are looking up.

Good start. I still think we need some experience in some spots and a goaltender, but we will wait to see what shakes out the next couple of months.

Colorado Weathers the Storm, Tops Texas Stars 5-1
(Credit: Ross Bonander/Texas Stars) Texas seemed to have every chance to delight the sellout crowd at H-E-B Center tonight but came up on the short end of a 5-1 score against the visiting Colorado Eagles. After losing 4-1 last night, the Eagles buckled in and played a superb road game, taking advantage of every chance given to them and beating out a 38-22 shot deficit on the night, including a 19-6 margin in the middle frame. "To be honest, I thought we took it to them pretty good for 40," said head coach Neil Graham postgame "Their response kicked in with some opportunities on special teams, and that ended up being a big factor. Those days happen." Jonas Johansson's gargantuan effort may have been obscured by the final scoreline's run support, but his play in the middle frame kept the Eagles in it. Texas entered the second intermission down 2-1 and the game might as well have been done at that point. After a dominating performance in the period, being down
Texas Stars Dominance Continues With 4-1 Win Over Colorado
(Photo Credit: Andy Nietupski / Texas Stars) Cedar Park, TX - The Texas Stars continued their dominating stretch with a convincing 4-1 win over the Colorado Eagles (Colorado Avalanche affiliate) in front of another sold-out crowd of 6,778 at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. Texas' win gives them points in 17 of their last 18 games - including six-straight - while compiling a 13-1-4, dating back to December 1st. "I thought we played a real strong game," Texas head coach Neil Graham said after the game. "I thought the identity of our team had emerged line to line, D[efensive] pair to D pair and reminded me of a lot of the positives that we identified in the month of December. I thought our guys did a great job of executing today." The teams skated scoreless for the majority of the first period with each team having bursts of offense in a period that saw Texas outshoot the Eagles 11-6. At one point in the early going, Texas had a 5-0 advantage in shots, but by mid
Texas Stars Tame Wild With 5-4 OT Win
(Photo Credit: Andy Nietupski / Texas Stars) Cedar Park, TX - The Texas Stars got two power play goals from Matej Blumel while the rookie also assisted on the game-winner by Tanner Kero in overtime as the Texas Stars rebounded from a two-goal deficit to mount a 5-4 come from behind victory over the division-rival Iowa Wild (Minnesota Wild affiliate) in a rare Monday night game at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. The Stars win was their first in overtime since a 6-5 victory over Manitoba November 18th. "To see the guys that we worked at it (the 3-on-3 overtime format), on multiple days, I'm glad they earned the reward for themselves because they put in a lot of work in the preparation on it." Texas head coach Neil Graham said after the game. Iowa took the game's first lead 8:12 into the opening period when Stars netminder Anton Khudobin made a spectacular save off of a Ryan O'Rourke shot, however the rebound landed right on the stick of Mike O'Leary and the Wild wing

For now we have our snow, our bitter cold. But we have our warm baths, our goggles and our imagination in our hands. Today we are explorers. Today we go wherever we want to go.

The Police have arrested 25 National Democratic Congress youth it suspects were behind violent demonstrations in Nkawanta North in the Volta Region.
The youth set ablaze five government vehicles in protest over the retention of the District Chief Executive of the area, Mr Paul Levin Gyato.
They also destroyed several other properties belonging to the District.
The violent demonstrations have raised concerns about the ability of the police to deal with these party footsoldiers who at the least provocation take the law into their own hands.
Acting Police Public Relation Officer, DSP Cephas Arthur said the police will not countenance any act of lawlessness in the name of politics.
He confirmed the arrest of the youth in an interview with Joy News, Saturday.
He said the police have begun investigations into the matter and will screen the suspects before hauling before the court, persons suspected to have taken part in the violence.
Cephas Arthur maintained that once the issue bothers on violence, it will be dealt with irrespective of the political affiliation of the suspect involved.

AND NOW ABOUT THE SHOW:
Kharmful Charms returns!

Your moustachioed presence will be rewarded with a cup of homemade soup (moustachioed ladies shall receive two servings).
For those new to Mr. Daniil Kharms (1905-1942), a bit of info to quicken your inquisitiveness: Kharms was an early Soviet-era surrealist and absurdist poet, writer and dramatist, a post-modern artist before the term had any cultural currency. He exploded the conception of theatre as a literary representative, defining the rules of theatre not as dramatic but scenic. By the late 1920s, his anti-rational verse, nonlinear theatrical performances, and public displays of iniquitous and irrational behavior earned Kharms – who always dressed like an English dandy with a calabash pipe – the reputation of being a talented but highly eccentric "fool" or "crazy-man" in Leningrad cultural circles. Exiled briefly during the "relatively vegetarian" days of the early 1930s, ten years later he was imprisoned in the psychiatric ward of Leningrad Prison No. 1. Kharms died in his cell – most likely from starvation – in February 1942 as the Nazi blockade of Leningrad was well underway. His writings (a vast assortment of stories, miniatures, plays, poems, and pseudo-scientific/philosophical investigations) were virtually unknown until the 1970s, and not published officially in Russia until the late-1980s period of "glasnost".

Reports of schools reopening soon false – Govt
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says schools are not reopening soon.
The Ghana Education Service is currently engaging stakeholders in the education sector to provide them with a blueprint on how schools will be made safe for students and teachers in case restrictions to fight the deadly COVID-19 are eased.
As a result of the stakeholder consultation, some reports suggested that schools will be reopened soon.
But addressing the Press and the country at the Information Ministry Thursday, the Information Minister said the reports were false and must be treated with the contempt it deserves.
He said "There was a media report which said schools to reopen soon. With all due respect, that is not true… Consultations of what it takes to reopen schools as part of the potential easing of the general restrictions that we're living under are what have started".
Ghana's borders have been closed to any form of human traffic so has the ban on public gathering been extended to May 31 to ensure that the country is safe and COVID-19 free before they can be opened.
This means that clubs, pubs, Churches, Mosques, schools and other public activities such as parties, weddings have all been put on hold.
Ghana has currently recorded 6,269 positive COVID-19 cases with 31 patients dead as a result of the disease.
Recovered patients are 1,898 and Greater Accra region leads as the region across the country with a huge number of recorded cases.

The tasks in oop1-2 can be achieved with very few alterations to the provided code. Are these few changes that mirror the methodology of the rest of the code sufficient to achieve full marks? Or should we go a bit further to improve the code (ex: by not working with object attributes directly rather via get/set methods)?
The purpose is to recognise the pattern (which is different to the pattern in the handbook), so in a sense you receive marks for recognising that. That said, if you want to improve further you are welcome. For me it is not about the mark, it is about pointing out patterns (which I believe leads to better understanding), so do not work to get full marks, work to understand (giving more than required) and the marks will take care of itself.


Kurdaitcha (known also as Kurdaitcha man) is a ritual ' executioner' in the culture of the Australian Aborigines , in particular the Arrernte people of Central Australia. The job of a Kurdaitcha was to avenge the death of a person by killing the enemy of the deceased, often with the use of magic. Stories are told of how the execution is carried out, and though there is a certain amount of truth in these tales, other parts are believed to be based purely on the imagination.
When is a Kurdaitcha Used?
The Aborigines of Central Australia supposedly believe that there is no such thing as a natural death and a person's enemies could use magic to cause his/her death. When magic is suspected to be the cause of death, a Kurdaitcha party may be arranged to avenge the person's death.
The first step of the process would be to identify the person who is guilty of causing the death. The identity of the culprit may be revealed by the dying person to a Railtchawa, or medicine man . If this is not done, there are other means of finding out the killer's identity. For instance, a burrow being made by an animal on a particular side of the grave may be interpreted as showing the direction of the killer's habitation. The identity of the guilty party may take some time to be revealed but it is believed that it will eventually be known.
Once the culprit is identified and revealed, a council would be held, consisting of the old men of the group to which the deceased belonged. If it is decided that his/her death be avenged by a Kurdaitcha, the person who is to perform this role would be chosen.
One of the most distinct features of a Kurdaitcha is his shoes, which are also referred to in English as Kurdaitcha. This footwear consists of a thick pad of emu feathers matted together with blood drawn from the arm of a young man and a network of human hair strings made from the hair of a living person on the upper surface. The shoes are so evil that when they are not in use they are hidden from the sight of women and children.
Before the person selected to be a Kurdaitcha can go about his work, however, he has to have one of his small toes ritually dislocated. This is achieved by having a stone heated and then applied to the ball of the toe. Once the joint is softened, the toe would be pulled outwards with a sudden jerk, thus causing it to dislocate.
How is the Victim Killed by the Kurdaitcha?
There are several ways in which a victim is killed by the Kurdaitcha. One of these ways, which is approved by the council of elders , involves the Kurdaitcha being accompanied by a medicine man on his mission, while the other, which is not sanctioned by the council of elders, but far more popular, involves the Kurdaitcha acting on his own. In both instances, the victim would first be killed, then brought back to life, then allowed to return home. After a short time, however, the victim would fall ill and die, and apparently nobody would be able to trace the deed back to the Kurdaitcha.
Yet another method that a Kurdaitcha may use to kill a victim is through a ceremony called bone pointing. The bone is pointed on one end and covered with a lump of resin on the other. By muttering curses over it, the pointing bone is endowed with magical powers , which could then be used to curse a victim in order to kill him/her. The ritual has to be done properly in order for it to have the desired effect.
Belief in the Kurdaitcha and the power of curses still persists even into modern times, though perhaps less so than before. In 1952, for instance, it was reported that several Aborigines at the Granites gold field had died mysteriously after being visited by the Kurdaitcha, while in 2004, bone pointing was used to place a curse on former Australian Prime Minister John Howard by Australian Aborigines, who were dissatisfied with his decision to scrap a top Aboriginal body. Additionally, the Warlpiri people believe in the existence of the Kurdaitcha even today, though their Kurdaitcha is a sort of malevolent spirit, rather than a man tasked with ritually killing people .

Holy Trinity Catholic School is the new name for the consolidated schools consisting of Pre-K3 through 6th grade students from the parishes of Our Lady of the Gulf, St. Rose of Lima, and St. Clare. The name is so appropriate since we are now, following Hurricane Katrina, three schools combined into one.
Each graphic on the emblem has a specific meaning. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are represented on the emblem by the extended hands, cross, and the dove. The lighthouse represents the symbol used by the Diocese of Biloxi, as well as, our location along the Gulf Coast. The globe was included to represent that we are a part of Catholic education throughout the world.
Holy Trinity Catholic School is located in Bay St. Louis, MS, and is a Catholic School within the Diocese of Biloxi.
HTCS is accredited through SACS, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and is a member of NCEA, the National Catholic Educators Association and the Hancock County Chamber of Commerce.
We currently have 323 students from 200 families. HTCS students are offered a challenging curriculum with all of the standard subjects – English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading, and Spelling, all presented within the context of traditional Catholic teachings through Religion classes. In addition, our students participate in Art, Computer Science, Library, Music and Physical Education. Our faculty consists of twenty-two teachers, six teacher's aides, a Title 1 specialist and six support staff members.
A new curriculum was instituted at the school three years ago and the students have continued to improve in their grades and standardized testing scores.


For the last 8 weeks I've been posting the talk I gave about self-promotion and self-publishing, in the hope it will help others. I learned all this in the process of self-publishing my first book, a local history book called Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth. It came out at Easter 2012 and by October had sold 250 print copies in local shops.
I took part in the Firepole Marketing Great Online Marketing Scavenger Hunt, had a great time and learned a lot – see my posts at the start and the end. As a result, I've improved this blog, including adding a very important page.
I've ordered another 100 copies of Alina and contacted all the shops for the new season. Unfortunately the Friends of Oystermouth Castle decided to sell only their own books in the gift shop, so inside Alina's Chapel there's no book about Alina. It doesn't make sense to me, but the nearest bookshop is delighted, and ordered extra copies.
I've finished writing and editing my new book, Broken Reed: The Lords of Gower and King John. I formatted it the same as Alina and it's 8 pages longer.
I talked to my printer and he quoted me for printing, so now I have to decide whether to shorten it or absorb the extra cost, as I want both books to be the same price. I think I might compromise and reduce it by 4 pages – but where?
My cover designer is working on the cover, and I met with my illustrator and decided on the illustrations. I'm trying not to be impatient as they're working for free again.
Finish writing my media kit, which I just found out how to do.
Design posters for the launch of the new book.
Prepare to spread the word through all my new online connections.

Stephanie Noda
Clad in a pink tiara and pink heels, Lisa Emeric, the self-proclaimed Sweet Queen, aims to make the world sweeter, one bar of ice cream at a time.
The Wayne mom began her ice cream truck business, Sweet Ice Queen, in 2015. Standing out in a sea of plain, white trucks, she aims to turn heads with her vibrant pink ones. The two trucks even have names: Joey and Pinky.
She wants to not just serve ice cream, churros and pretzels, but to make a lasting memory. Here are six things you should know about her.
She left the corporate world to do something more unusual.
Before starting Sweet Ice Queen, Emeric worked as a human resources executive. She spent 14 years out of the workforce to raise her two sons. She worked freelance on the side, planning business events and personal parties, but when her youngest son entered middle school, she felt the time was right to re-enter the workforce full time.
Emeric says she wanted to create a business that would allow people to escape for a bit. The answer soon became clear: a specialty ice cream truck business.
"Who doesn't get excited when they see or hear an ice cream truck?" says Emeric. "If you're a kid, it's instant happiness. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, seeing the ice cream truck makes the experience even better."
Starting her own business had its challenges, but its benefits, too.
Starting a new business is always hard work, as Emeric found out when she created a business plan, secured the ice cream truck, searched for the right suppliers, built a website and launched a marketing campaign.
The most challenging part of the day-to-day operations is keeping up with demand, and having to work sometimes 15 to 20 consecutive days due to the seasonality of the business. For Emeric, however, these are "good challenges to have."
Wayne:New brewery Seven Tribesmen to open, will replace showroom
Ice cream:The best ice cream and Italian food in North Jersey
She was surprised by how quickly the business took off.
Emeric says that she's been thrilled by how the community and local businesses embraced her vision. "I had steady bookings almost from the beginning," she says. "By the second year, I added [my] second truck."
She wants to help others through her business.
.Emeric likes to give back to the community , working with local non-profits and aiming to help those with special needs.
"If a visit from the Sweet Ice Queen Truck can brighten the day of a child who is suffering or someone who is struggling, we work to accommodate those requests as often as we can," says Emeric.
Emeric tailors her treats to suit the occasion.
Whether she's visiting a wedding, bar mitzvah, school event, nursing home or daycare center, Emeric and her staff customize the ice cream flavors and food based on the customers' preferences.
She hopes to expand her offerings.
Going forward, Emeric is hoping to add another truck to her fleet. She'd also like to add a wider variety of items so that she can keep her trucks on the road all year long, not just when the weather gets warm.
"We [will be able to] keep the truck on the road year-road with treats that warm you up in the winter, and delight customers as much as ice cream does in the summer months," she says.


New results from the CERN cloud chamber!
New results from the CERN cloud chamber have been tested in GLOMAP, with a little help from CEMAC scientists. The paper, published in Science, presents the first ever model simulations of particle formation throughout the atmosphere which are based entirely on data from the laboratory measurements. For more information take a look at the news story on the ICAS website.


Snakes are scaly, limbless, elongated reptiles. They are mostly carnivorous and eat small animals, including lizards and other snakes, rodents (such as mice) and other small mammals, birds, eggs, or insects. Some snakes have a venomous bite, which they use to kill their prey before eating it. Other snakes kill their prey by constriction. Still others swallow their prey whole, and alive. Snakes do not chew their food. A big meal will keep some snakes full and happy for a long time. The Pythons and Anacondas can live for a year after eating a large prey meal.

African Team
Are Cape Town homes overpriced?
The value of some Cape Town residential property has nearly doubled in the last seven years with, in many cases, a 10.5% per annum average increase in value. Some people, says Rowan Alexander, director of Alexander Swart Property, are now saying that Cape Town homes are overpriced.
However, he says, those coming from the UK or Europe to buy a suburban house here are staggered at how inexpensive our properties still are: on the current exchange rates, they are often able to get homes in Cape Town at 15-20% of what they would pay back home.
"Looking at this matter in a worldwide context," says Alexander, "one has to realise that Europe and the UK have had a highly active property market for well over 500 years whereas our property market is less than 100 years old. It is so young that we have only recently begun experiencing what the First World has witnessed for centuries, i.e. greatly increased values caused by rapid influxes of people to the urban areas.
"I know that South Africa's big cities have seen this trend for some time but we are still in fact in the early stages of the densification that has led to the central precincts of the big cities – New York, London, Paris, Berlin, etc. – reaching astronomical price levels, with concomitant spinoffs for the suburbs surrounding them."
Densification of peripheral, suburban areas
Alexander believes that much South African property is undervalued because, he says, if you accept that our major cities will inevitably follow the same trends as those elsewhere, they will continue to densify and although this may cause slum areas in certain precincts, in others CBD property values will rise exponentially – and this, in turn, will lead to further densification of the peripheral and suburban areas.
In Cape Town, says Alexander, the city council already encourages the densification of those suburbs lying within relatively easy commuting distance of the CBD – and certain developers, such as Rawsons, have been able to cash in on this and build multi-unit apartment blocks where previously there were only houses on separate plots.
"In the long run, the price trend will continue to rise upwards," says Alexander, "because of increased demand for urban and peri-urban space and ongoing densification. We cannot simply spread out interminably: we will continue to consolidate and this consolidation will make all those areas affected and those near to them more and more valuable."
