Dominic Long to lead Cushman & Wakefield's Victorian agency business
Leading global commercial real estate services firm, Cushman & Wakefield, has substantially strengthened its Australian agency platform with the appointment of Dominic Long as Managing Director, Commercial Real Estate (CRE), Victoria, effective 5th December 2016.
The appointment marks a significant milestone in the growth of Cushman & Wakefield's Victorian and broader Australian agency platform, which has grown steadily over the last 18 months. Over this period, Cushman & Wakefield has grown its Australian team by around 100 new agency appointments as it continues to embed its market position. Dominic will sit on the Cushman & Wakefield CRE board in Australia and New Zealand.
Dominic joins Cushman & Wakefield following over 10 years as Managing Director of Savills Victoria, where he was instrumental in driving substantial growth. In this role Dominic facilitated major corporate and M&A activity and managed in excess of 130 staff operating across sales, leasing, management and valuations of commercial, industrial and retail property.
Prior to that, Dominic held senior management positions with Ireland's largest property developer, Hardwicke, where he spent 20 years with the business.
The appointment also coincides with Cushman & Wakefield's relocation to DEXUS Property Group's 385 Bourke Street office in the Melbourne CBD, where the business has taken up two floors, totalling 2,400m².
Cushman & Wakefield's Chief Executive James Patterson said: "I am very pleased and extremely excited to welcome Dominic to the Cushman & Wakefield leadership team, and his appointment comes at a critical time in the growth of the company's business in Australia and New Zealand.
"Dominic's appointment and the relocation to 385 Bourke Street is a major step in establishing and building a presence in the Victorian market in line with our strategic expansion in New South Wales and Queensland. In a very short period we have rapidly built an agency platform on the eastern seaboard. We continue to assemble agency teams that reflect Cushman & Wakefield's leading global position with a strong, nimble and fresh approach to deliver the best results for our clients in an increasingly competitive marketplace."
Mr. Long commented: "The prospect of being part of Cushman & Wakefield's rapid growth in Australia was very attractive to me, and I see the strength of its global agency operation as a major competitive advantage. I was attracted by two major factors - the culture that already exists within the organisation and the opportunity to lead an agency business that leverages off such an extensive Global Occupier Services platform which dominates the market in Australia and New Zealand.
"The scale and quality of clients that already exist within the business creates a unique and exciting opportunity, and I look forward to working with the team as we continue to grow Cushman & Wakefield's Australian footprint."
This appointment follows on from recent key appointments including Matt Hudson and Ben Tremellen as National Directors in Retail Leasing, Tom Barnier as Sales and Investments Director in New South Wales and Markus Eames as Sales and Investments Director in Queensland.

Only a short two minute walk from our apartment lies 'The Lost Lagoon', a 41 acre body of water near the entrance to Stanley Park. The lagoon is occasionally used as a safe haven for migrating birds that use the migratory route known as 'The Pacific Highway', a major north/south route of travel extending from Alaska to Patagonia.
The lagoon is full of small islands and marshy grasses, bulrushes along the edge of the lagoon make a protective cover and nesting areas for various species. Kind of like their own security system to protect their nests from the other wildlife you'll find in Vancouver like Coyotes and Raccoons.
I thought I'd take the opportunity over the coming few weeks to make the lagoon my home patch so to speak and make regular visits, after all it's spring here too come the weekend and migration has already started.
Today's weather has been quite rainy as per usual, but during my walk the rain eased sufficiently for me to have a good exploration of the lagoon. As with my previous visits the first thing you notice is the place is simply alive with wildlife! Both Chestnut-backed and Black-capped Chickadee's are in good numbers and are amongst the most friendliest species I've ever come across. If you extend your empty hand they will even land on it in complete confidence!
The lagoon itself contained good numbers of Lesser Scaup, American Wigeon, several Common Merganser, Common Goldeneye, 3 Barrow's Goldeneye, 3 Wood Duck and 2 Ringed Neck duck. This being my 3rd visit since arriving I was pleased to connect with my first Canvasback, a very flighty male out near the centre.
The surrounding habitat was alive throughout my walk with many Song Sparrow, which have a really gorgeous melodic song, Spotted Towhee, which seem to enjoy skulking within the undergrowth, and lots of American Robin, a lone Red-winged Blackbird was also recorded. On the southern side of the lagoon Golden-crowned Kinglet, Pacific Wren, Brown Creeper, White-crowned Sparrow, Golden-crowned Sparrow, and Fox Sparrow were all noted.
One particular species of note that I found staring up at me as I crossed one the small wooden bridges was a Raccoon. Be forewarned if you ever visit, there is a maximum $5000 penalty if you are caught feeding wildlife in this park. Having said that, many visitors and regulars have for years fed these docile creatures so they have no fear of humans as many of these species do in the wild, they in fact will come right up to most hikers throughout the park to the delight of many who have never seen these elusive night crawlers.

Victory! Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump travel ban
The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly Muslim countries.
The justices say in an order Monday that the policy can take full effect even as legal challenges against it make their way through the courts.
The ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Lower courts had said people from those nations with a claim of a "bona fide" relationship with someone in the United States could not be kept out of the country. Grandparents, cousins and other relatives were among those courts said could not be excluded.
Sponsored: Big Tobacco's Punishment: A Long Time Coming
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have left the lower court orders in place.

Something for Monday: Up in the Air
by Aviv Or
I spent last week in Israel for work.
For the past year or so, since moving to London, the geographical definition of Home has been getting blurrier. In Israel we use the term "ha'aretz", literally translated as "the country", but meaning Israel; "when are you coming to ha'aretz" means "when are you coming back home".
But I've been living in London for over a year now. I've had two jobs, two flats, I even have two coats (both completely unsuitable for an English winter, unfortunately). I have a favourite supermarket, an account in every major takeout website and a clear opinion about marmite. And possibly most telling of all, when I was back in Israel just now, I found it quite peculiar that they all seem to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Israel will always be my home country, where my family and friends are, along with the first half of my life. But for now, when I'm "coming back to ha'aretz", I'm most likely headed for Heathrow.
To get back to my original point: I spent last week in Israel, which is about 4-5 hours away by plane. I usually spend the time staring at the screen or failing to sleep, but this time I tried expressing my frustrations with the latter through doodles. Now that I have a cast of characters to work with, It's so much easier to draw "slice of life" anecdotes: there's no need to come up with a new character design just to get the point across, or attempt a half-arsed self-portrait. If I want to convey my grievances about air travel, Rotem can go through it in my stead.
It's worth pointing out that the flight was really quite enjoyable. But as a comic artist, I don't let things like reality get in the way of a joke.

National Grid is committed to being good neighbors in the communities we serve. We work with local organizations and elected officials along with business, community, and other leaders to build strong and lasting partnerships as we conduct cleanup activities.
The new seawalls at Solomon Jacobs Park and the National Grid property will be built to current design standards.
Existing seawalls at neighboring properties will be reinforced.
Following the remediation, the City of Gloucester in cooperation with National Grid will replace the wooden pier in front of Solomon Jacobs Park by a new floating dock system to provide enhanced landing facilities for use by the Harbormaster and boaters.
The seawalls will be re-aligned to better suit the needs of the City of Gloucester Harbormaster.
Dredging will provide additional draft for the Harbormaster's vessel in key areas as requested by the City of Gloucester.
Solomon Jacobs Park will be restored.
The new seawall and land in front of the National Grid building will provide enhanced public access to, and views of, the waterfront.
Important historical and archaeological properties relating to Gloucester's maritime heritage will be preserved or documented for posterity; leaving a legacy of valuable historical data and resources for the community. The historic seawalls to be reconstructed in the work areas have been designed to complement the surrounding Gloucester Harbor Historic District and to emulate the workmanship of the original structures. The historic Burnham's Marine Railway (est. 1849–1851) at Maritime Gloucester will be maintained as a working component of the heritage center. Marine archaeologists will record the submerged remains of a second historic marine railway (est. 1851–1857) during the remediation process and the results of the investigation will be shared with the community. See Gloucester Harbor Heritage for additional information.

Plague analysis aid to measure the concern environment and is a great strategic tool for understanding the large image of the environment in which concern operates, enabling the company to take advantage of the chances and minimise the challenges faced by their concern activities. When strategic planning is done right, it provides a solid program for a company to turn into the hereafter.
With a PEST analysis, the company can see a longer skyline of clip, and be able to clear up strategic chances and menaces that the administration faces. By looking to the outside environment to see the possible forces of alteration looming on the skyline, houses can take the strategic planning procedure out of the sphere of today and into the skyline of tomorrow. Byars, L. ( 1991 ) . The consequences can so be used to take advantage of chances and to do eventuality programs for menaces when fixing concern and strategic programs ( Byars, 1991 ; Cooper, 2000 ) . The usage of PEST analysis can be seen effectual for concern and strategic planning, selling planning, concern and merchandise development and research studies. PEST besides ensures that company 's public presentation is aligned positively with the powerful forces of alteration that are impacting concern environment ( Porter, 1985 ) . PEST is utile when a company decides to come in its concern operations into new markets and new states. The usage of PEST, helps to interrupt free of premises, and aid to efficaciously accommodate to the worlds of the new environment.
Economic conditions affect how easy or how hard it is to be successful and profitable at any clip because they affect both capital handiness and cost, and demand ( Thompson, 2002 ) . If demand is buyout, for illustration, and the cost of capital is low, it will be attractive for houses to put and turn with outlooks of being profitable. In opposite fortunes houses might happen that profitableness throughout the industry is low. The timing and comparative success of peculiar schemes by Ford motors can be influences by economic conditions.
Now if we evaluate the success of Ford Motors in future we can reason that Ford motors might non be every bit much successful in future as in the yesteryear. Even the tabular array in the given article suggests that new autos sold in the UK was approximately 11 % .. However the closure of the production works will ensue in loss of volume for the Ford.
Ford Motors Company is an oligopoly construction market house which They are mutualist because the figure of competition is few and any alteration in monetary value & A ; merchandise etc by an house will hold a direct influence on the luck of its challengers, which in bend retaliate by altering their monetary value and end product.
The size of rivals is big as there are barriers to entry and issue. Thus under oligopoly a house non merely considers the market demand for its merchandise but besides the reactions of other houses in the industry. No house can neglect to take into history the reaction of other houses to its monetary value and end product policies. There is, hence, a good trade of mutualities of the house under oligopoly ( Tsiakkiros A. 2002 ) .


Grandparents in England are often younger and more likely to be in paid work than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe, research has shown.
The study, completed by the charity Grandparents Plus, shows that 63% of over 50s in England have grandchildren, which is a similar figure to that in France and Austria, but higher than in Greece, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.
Statistics show that only Sweden, Denmark and Belgium have a higher proportion of grandparents in this age group.
Meanwhile, just short of a quarter (23%) of grandparents in this country are still working, while the average across the other 11 countries investigated is just one in seven.
Grandparents in England are also less likely to report symptoms of depression and poor health, according to the findings.
The research was completed by the Institute of Gerontology at King's College London, which worked with Grandparents Plus, the Beth Johnson Foundation and received funding from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
More than 40,000 respondents aged 50 and over took part.
Sam Smethers, Chief Executive of Grandparents Plus, said: 'One in four working parents in the UK rely on grandparents for childcare, and one in five (19%) of grandmothers are spending at least 10 hours a week looking after grandchildren.

i had played this game b4, and i tell u, the pro weapons are EXTREMELY expensive. The creators are just forcing you to play buy their AP(Aeria Point). The money u get when u recharge your SP (Soldier Front's in-game money) seems too little for me. I really wanted a Tango Sniper Rifle, a G3A3, a Desperado, and a SPAS-12 but everything was so expensive..I don't really care about the graphics but there are hackers everywhere in the game. I think the weapons are abit underpowered but other than that the mechanics are great.The Uzi in the game seems really overpowered (In Malaysia server, every1 uses uzi and jumps around shooting ppl). I liked to use sniper rifles (1 hit ko when hit in the chest and the head) and i can juz run around with the sniper rifle and shoot riflemen. You can quickscope kill ppl. Overall its a nice game but the money system sucks and there's hackers .-.
jinojames February 10, 2014 at 9:44 am
I played this game b4 here in cebu,phillipines and i am 1 of the sixthsense clan who qualified for the world tournament in korea,. this game is about mind and tactics, hide your footstep or else the enemy will kill u with just a knife, teamwork to defend the mission, teamwork to complete the mission, My favorite weapon in this game is AK74 and M4A1 for assault and PSG1 for sniper,,actually when our clan is in tournament i am a AK74 profesional user,,i can control his recoil and accuracy.,oppps i forgot to tell you my rank in this game, I am LEUTENANT GENERAL or 3 STAR RANK in this game.

this game used to be really fun back in the days when ijji owned it, now theres no clan system.. a lot of hackers.. but i think the reason that they don't care about it anymore is cause they are creating soldier front 2 and i would love that game, but yeah, about sf the game looks SHIT but plays WONDERFULL, its truly fun to play and also difficult to play against top players.

ovcourse i do i know ijji didnt devlope this game they are the publishers after all
Don't Worry March 6, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Don't worry.I know how bad this game sucked but that's why they've developed a sequel.Special Force 2.Better graphics powered by the Unreal Engine 3,unlimited sprint,iron sights,realistic character skins,weapons and maps,more accurate,precise and higher damage weapons,realistic character animation and great voice actors.No weapon customization,though.Not much character customization.But it's still 2nd best next to Arctic Combat.
xxmiku January 22, 2012 at 9:37 pm
ijji can do better than this, i mean really this game is a complete joke
best mmo FPS experience my ass!!!

Tutors are generally considered to be an additional resource in teaching and learning, as a means of augmenting that of the lecturer. This article explores tutors as academic staff with responsibilities for developing practice competencies and integrating student learning in a social care professional training degree programme. The research is small-scale, based upon data from a purposive sample of five interviews; and upon insider-participant observation notes and reflections in one single setting. The author deployed a situated ethnographic methodology alongside a frame analytic approach. The research found that in their academic practice, tutors reveal how their student contact is oriented to developing a reflective practitioner and they discuss how programme inputs impact on the student's professional self. Simultaneously, tutors seek to create cross programme integration through finding overlaps with academic programme strands.

I'm looking to stay somewhere while visiting the Great Dorset Steam Fair next year. I plan to arrive on Thursday 1st September, and leave on Sunday 4th September. On Trip Advisor, I can't click on the date 4/9/16 - it's greyed-out. Is the period I want bookable? Can you tell me what the accommodation price would be? - I'll be on my own. Also, is breakfast included in the price?
Thank you everyone for the vote of confidence. We are indeed already full for the DSF next year, a busy time! Sorry not to be able to help. Perhaps you could try Sarah Worrall's B&B at Launceston Farm and come to us for dinner!
I'm a wheelchair user and would like more details of suitable room(s) and in particular, loos and showers/wet rooms?

Gotham Awards Live Stream: How to Watch the 30th Annual Indie Film Awards
All of this year's nominees for Best Feature are women-directed films, a first in Gothams history.
Zack Sharf
@zsharf
"Nomadland," "The Forty Year Old Version," and "First Cow"
Searchlight/Netflix/A24
The Independent Filmmaker Project (soon to be known as the Gotham Film & Media Institute, or the Gotham for short) is making it easier than ever to stream the 30th-anual Gotham Awards. The ceremony will live-stream on IFP's Facebook page beginning at 8pm ET. IndieWire's Facebook page will also be carrying IFP's live stream of the ceremony. IndieWire will embed the live stream post below when it becomes available.
The 30th-annual Gotham Awards are holding a virtual ceremony tonight at 8 p.m. ET. While the awards ceremony is traditionally held on the first Monday after Thanksgiving, the coronavirus pandemic delayed the 2020 event to January 11, 2021. While top critic groups like the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Associations have already announced their 2020 winners, the Gothams will be the first prominent awards ceremony of the 2020-2021 Oscar season. Gotham winners don't always overlap with the Oscars, but a Gotham victory does provide a boost in buzz as the awards race heads to Oscar nominations (see past Gotham acting winners like Adam Driver for "Marriage Story," Awkwafina for "The Farewell," Ethan Hawke for "First Reformed," and Toni Collette "Hereditary.").
'Nomadland' to Be Released on Hulu and in Theaters February 19

10 Must-Watch Shows Arriving at Peacock's Launch
2021 Network Winter TV Premiere Dates
The eligibility period for the 2020 Gotham Awards was extended to February 28, 2021, which is the reason films that have yet to be released in theaters or on PVOD such as A24's "Minari" and Searchlight's "Nomadland" scored nominations this year. Films with budgets exceeding $35 million were automatically disqualified from Gotham Awards consideration. For this reason, major Oscar contenders from Netflix such as Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods," David Fincher's "Mank," George Clooney's "The Midnight Sky," and Ryan Murphy's "The Prom" were not eligible.
This year's Gotham Award nominees are led by Kelly Reichardt's "First Cow," which led all films with four nominations. "First Cow" is competing for Best Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Breakthrough Actor. Also nominated for Best Feature are Eliza Hittman's "Never Rarely Sometimes Always," Chloe Zhao's "Nomadland," Kitty Green's "The Assistant," and Natalie Erika James's "Relic." This is the first year in Gotham Awards history where all five Best Feature nominees are films directed by women.

Encountering a scene that involves blood, body fluids or human waste can leave property management with the question of what to do. Do you call maintenance? Do you call Corporate? Does the waste end up in your property dumpsters? Can you inadvertently be putting yourself, your employees and other tenants at risk?
Society has become wiser and more cautious when it comes to biological contaminations. We now know that blood and air borne pathogens like Tuberculosis, MRSA and others are highly contagious and diseases like Hepatitis can live outside the body for up to 3 weeks in the right conditions! A person that has contracted Hepatitis C can live for years without symptoms and not even know where they contracted it. Taking a proactive stance now to prevent exposure and protect both staff and residents pays off in the future.
All too often, Alliance Environmental Group gets calls from property managers that are trying to undo an improperly cleaned residence. We recently received a call from a property manager who had her maintenance supervisor approach her with a problem. The tenants were complaining to him regarding a foul odor coming from the dumpster. Although the manager was aware of a suicide that recently happened in her building, she was not aware of the well-intended family members. They cleaned the scene themselves and then placed all the biohazardous affected material into the dumpster.
Her company protocol when a situation like a suicide or undiscovered death was to call the police and report it to corporate. The police, fire department, and coroner were all on the scene. It never occurred to her who would clean it up. She just assumed that one of those agencies would handle it.
The family had no idea of what to do, so they took it upon themselves to clean up and dispose of the bloody furniture and other items in the property dumpster. Once the dumpster incident was reported, the manager called her corporate office. Fortunately, someone in corporate had dealt with a similar scene at another property and put the manager in contact with us. Thankfully, this waste never reached the landfill! If it had, then the management company would be responsible to get the landfill clean of any newly contaminated items. After that narrow escape, corporate implemented a universal policy for all their communities to ensure that this type of incident has a clear procedure in place.
Larger populations and ever-growing communities mean that you are more likely to come across these situations - It's not if it's when. Being proactive will help eliminate the risks of infections from medical emergencies, suicides, undiscovered deaths, resident conflicts, and many other scenes involving blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials. Knowing what to do in these types of situations will protect your staff and keep your residents safe as well as limit your corporate liabilities.
It is time for you review your policy on bio and trauma clean up. Now is the time to ensure your procedures include a clear plan to protect you, your staff, and your tenants.


Minnesota Department of Health, Respondent.
Bobby Onyemeh Sea, Sea Law Office, PLC, St. Paul, Minnesota (for relator).
Lori Swanson, Attorney General, Lindsay K. Strauss, Assistant Attorney General, St. Paul, Minnesota (for respondent).
Considered and decided by Connolly, Presiding Judge; Schellhas, Judge; and Stauber, Judge.
The Minnesota Department of Health is not required to remove a finding of physical abuse from the nursing-assistant registry after the nursing assistant's disqualification period under the Minnesota Department of Human Services Background Studies Act (Background Studies Act), Minn. Stat. §§ 245C.01-.34 (2016 & Supp. 2017), has ended.
In this certiorari appeal, relator Cosmos E. Eneh challenges a decision by respondent Minnesota Department of Health denying his request to remove a finding of maltreatment from the state's nursing-assistant registry. He argues that respondent acted arbitrarily and capriciously and misapplied federal law. Because respondent correctly applied federal law, which does not permit a finding of abuse to be removed from a state's nursing-assistant registry, we affirm.
In April 2008, relator was employed as a nursing assistant at a St. Paul nursing home certified in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. On April 28, 2008, a vulnerable adult identified relator as the person who struck him in the eye, causing bruising and swelling. Respondent completed an investigation into the alleged assault and found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that relator committed substantiated serious maltreatment of a vulnerable adult by physically abusing the nursing-home resident. Following the investigation, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) informed relator that the finding of substantiated serious maltreatment disqualified him from employment in any position that allows direct contact with persons receiving services from facilities licensed by DHS and respondent, among others.
Relator requested that respondent reconsider the maltreatment determination and disqualification. Respondent denied relator's request to set aside the disqualification, indicating that relator posed a risk of harm to vulnerable adults.
An appeal hearing was held before a human-services judge (HSJ) under Minn. Stat. § 256.045, subd. 3(a)(10) (Supp. 2017), on the issues of whether relator physically abused a vulnerable adult, whether DHS correctly disqualified relator on that basis, and whether respondent correctly denied relator's request to set aside his disqualification. The HSJ concluded that (1) relator committed substantiated serious maltreatment of a vulnerable adult by physically abusing the nursing-home resident; (2) relator was properly disqualified from direct-contact services under Minn. Stat. §§ 245C.14, subd. 1(a)(3), .15, subd. 4(b)(2); and (3) the disqualification should not be set aside under Minn. Stat. § 245C.22, subd. 4, because relator failed to show that he did not pose a risk of harm to residents of a nursing home.
On April 28, 2008, Cosmos Eneh, while working as a Nursing Assistant at Bethel Care Center in St. Paul, physically abused a vulnerable adult. Another staff member saw the [vulnerable adult] lying in bed with a swollen, bruised left eye after Mr. Eneh had provided cares. The [vulnerable adult] identified Mr. Eneh by description and name as the person who had hit him in the eye.


A colouring book for children or adults, full of nutritious food, 'Colour By Nutrients' is at once a resource for artistic indulgence and an educational tool. Divided into chapters of different vitamins and minerals, the book illustrates which foods contain significant amounts of each. The authors are happy for teachers and parents to photocopy the colouring pages for use in the classroom. All in all a delightful way to learn about nutrition.
This is a great book and idea- a fun way to engage with nutrition for young children.

Five Friday Questions with Bobbi Kotula
Brett Hamil
Seattle RepSeattle Shakespeare CompanyVillage TheatreIntiman TheatreThe 5th Avenue TheatreGreater Seattle Area
Bobbi Kotula is an actor and singer from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She won a Footlight Award for her 2013 performance in the Intiman's Stu for Silverton, and she's worked at theatres all over the region, from Seattle Rep to 5th Avenue Theatre to numerous musical productions at Village Theatre. Most recently, she played Mrs. Warren in Seattle Shakespeare's Mrs. Warren's Profession, about which recent 5 Fri Q-er Corey McDaniel said "I would pay any price asked to see any one of these three powerhouse performers on stage." Kotula joined me for this week's installment of Five Friday Questions.
What's the best performance you've seen lately?
Best is difficult to answer because the Puget Sound talent pool is deeply gifted and inventive. I suppose the performance I should gauge as "best" is one that moves my spirit. With that in mind, Billy Elliot comes to the top of my list. The story of a 12-year-old boy finding his own way through his rough world was a soul-lightening experience.
What's the best meal in Seattle?
If it has to be in Seattle—I live in Issaquah and find so many excellent restaurants here: Fins, Montalcino, Noodle Boat—then I would have to say one of Tom Douglas's restaurants, either Dahlia Lounge (coconut cream pie!) or Palace Kitchen are incredibly delicious.
What music gets you pumped up? What do you listen to when you're sad?
Pumped up:
U2 ("Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For")
Handel (Water Music)
Beethoven (Symphony #5 in C Minor, "Ode to Joy")
J.S. Bach ("Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring," Brandenburg Concertos—I have a thing about trumpets)
Big band music ("Sing, Sing, Sing," "String of Pearls," "In the Mood," ANYTHING TONY BENNETT!!)
Pharrell Williams ("Happy")
Sarah Bareilles ("Brave")
When I'm sad: meditation music on Pandora. Quiet acoustic hymns and reflective sweet melodies.
What's the most crucial element of any production?
The most crucial element of any production for me is the authentic connection between the actors. It's crucial to tell a story on stage with truth, humor, compassion and love. If there is no honest connection between the human beings on stage then I don't want to sit and watch it. I cannot abide liars or selfish, unrealized performances.
What's the most useful thing anyone's ever taught you about working in theatre?
Show up early and be ready to work at your call time.

Q: Extract year from a date and paste in next column So I'm looking at a massive report at the moment and we get one in weekly and we want a macro to automate it.
So one of the columns has numerous dates from 2012 to 2015 in it.
I need to search for the 2014 dates and then from there put 2014 into the column directly on the right of it
My code so far:
Sub Engagament_Hiring_Dates()
    Dim i As Long
    Dim k As Long
    For i = 2070 To 4000
        If Year(BDi) = "2014" Then
            Cells(i, 57) = "2014"
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

A: If your dates are in Column BD try this:
For i = 2070 To 4000
    If Year(Cells(i, "BD")) = 2014 Then
        Cells(i, 57) = "2014" 'or simply 2014
    End If
Next i

Year Function returns an Integer, so you need to compare it to a number and not a string.  This will work provided your values in Column BD are valid dates.
Also, you might want to check below on how to use Cells Property:

Nonlinear phenomena should play a crucial role in the design and control of engineering systems and structures as they can drastically change the prevailing dynamical responses.
This book covers theoretical and applications-based problems of nonlinear dynamics concerned with both discrete and continuous systems of interest in civil and mechanical engineering. They include pendulum-like systems, slender footbridges, shape memory alloys, sagged elastic cables and non-smooth problems.
Pendulums can be used as a dynamic absorber mounted in high buildings, bridges or chimneys. Geometrical nonlinearities introduced by pendulum motion may change the system dynamics, and entail a rapid increase of the oscillations of both the structure and the pendulum, leading to full pendulum rotation or chaotic dynamics. To magnetorheological damping is proposed.
Nonlinear mechanics has to be used to explain undesired response in slender footbridges, such as that occurred in the famous event of the London Millenium Bridge. The observed phenomena can be explained by an analytical nonlinear discrete-time model.
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit very interesting nonlinear thermo-mechanical properties such as shape memory effect and superelasticity. SMA elements integrated within composite beams or plates can be used for active modification of structure properties e.g. by affecting their natural frequencies.
Finite amplitude, resonant, forced dynamics of sagged, horizontal or inclined, elastic cables have recently undergone meaningful research advances concerned with modelling, analysis, response, and nonlinear/nonregular phenomena. A variety of features of nonlinear multimodal interaction in different resonance conditions are comparatively addressed.
Non-smooth systems are very common in engineering practice. Three mechanical engineering problems are presented: (i) a vibro-impact system in the form of a moling device, (ii) the influence of the opening and closing of a fatigue crack on the host system dynamics, and (iii) nonlinear interactions between a rotor and snubber ring system.
This book is aimed at a wide audience of engineers and researchers working in the field of nonlinear structural vibrations and dynamics, and undergraduate and postgraduate students reading mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering.

Private Taxi Tour to Troodos, Lefkara and Kakopetria
Join Mr. Zaxos for a memorable guided tour through Lefkara, Troodos and Kakopetria
Taxi: Brand new, fully air-conditioned Mercedes.
Departure location: Limassol.
Price: 199 € per taxi (maximum 4 passengers).
The tour can be adjusted to your needs. Please contact us for a quotation.
Lefkara
Lefkara village is very famous for its traditional lace. Nowadays, the village is a tourist attraction, with is a stone-build traditional houses and small shop where you can buy lace and traditional Cyprus products. A common sight is groups of women who sit in the narrow village streets working on their fine embroidery, as they have for centuries. The village is also known for its skilled silversmiths who produce fine filigree work, and there is a small Turkish Delight factory. A folklore museum in the town shows visitors what life was like in Cyprus a hundred years ago. The museum is located in a restored house and exhibits the furniture and effects of a wealthy family, local costumes and examples of the Lefkara lacewor.
Kakopetria is a beautiful, traditional village located 55 kilometers southwest of the capital, Nicosia, on the foothills of the Troodos Mountain. It stands at an altitude of 667 metres and it is the highest village in the Solea Valley. It is surrounded by thick forestland and is built on the banks of the Kargotis and Garillis Rivers. The two rivers join within village itself and form the river Klarios. You will walk near the river and visit the old Kakopetria area, with the stone paved roads and the well-maintained traditional Cyprus houses.
Troodos
Trodos located in the center of the island. Troodos' highest peak is Mount Olympus at 1,952 meters which also hosts 4 ski slopes. The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountains are villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. The area has been known since ancient times for its mines, and in the Byzantine period it became a great centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.

Lysosomal storage diseases are primarily genetic and are caused by a lack of the enzymes that are needed to perform metabolic functions. It is a rare disease that most commonly occurs in puppies. The disease causes an accumulation of various substances that would otherwise be eliminated by the enzymes, and which become stored in the dog's tissues in abnormal amounts (usually occurring in the nervous system). As a result, cells swell and can no longer function normally. Unfortunately, lysosomal storage diseases are always fatal.
Humans also suffer from separate but similar lysosomal storage diseases, and for that reason this disease has been studied more than the commonly inherited dog disorders.

Brunbröstad visslare (Pachycephala homeyeri) är en fågel i familjen visslare inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Ovansidan är varmbrun, undersidan vit med en svag kanelbrun anstrykning nära skuldrorna, som en antydan till en väst. Arten kan likna visayadjungelflugsnappare som dock vanligen finns på högre höjd. Brunbröstad visslare känns dock igen på en kombination av en längre och mer småhövdad huvudprofil samt det ofullständiga diffusa bröstbandet. Bland lätena hörs ljusa och tunna, klara visslingar och mer flödande ramsor.

Utbredning och systematik
Brunbröstad visslare förekommer i Filippinerna. Den delas upp i tre underarter med följande utbredning:
 P. h. homeyeri – Mindanao (Filippinerna), Suluarkipelagen och Pulau Siamil (utanför Borneo)
 P. h. major – Cebu (Filippinerna)
 P. h. winchelli – centrala Filippinerna (Tablas, Sibuyan, Masbate, Ticao, Panay, Pan de Azucar, Gigantes och Negros)

Levnadssätt
Brunbröstad visslare hittas i låglänta områden och lägre bergstrakter. Den påträffas i skogsområden där den gärna ansluter till kringvandrande artblandade flockar. Den rör sig vanligen i skogens nedre skikt, men kan ses ända upp i trädkronorna.

Status
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde och beståndet anses stabilt. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar den därför som livskraftig (LC).

Namn
Fågelns vetenskapliga artnamn hedrar den tyske ornitologen Eugen Ferdinand von Homeyer (1809–1889).

Q: Overriding default back button behavior in android I just recently learned how to clear the backstack in Android. I have two activities, one for login (LoginActivity) and one to use the application (MainActivity). It consists of a bunch of fragments. This is the code I used to start the MainActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish(); // call this to finish the current activity

Everything works fine, when I'm on the MainActivity and I press the home button, the application closes. When I open it back up, it opens the MainActivity. But when I press the back button, it's closing the application and when I open it back up, the LoginActivity is opening. How do I override the back button so it behaves the same as the home button.

A: Sounds like you want to override the back button behavior to move the app to the background instead of doing the usual back button behavior.
You can do this by overriding onBackPressed:
@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
    moveTaskToBack(true);
}

A: You can use activity's method.
from activity,
onBackPress()

from fragment,
getActivity().onBackPress()

A: You can start Luncher Application in your MainActivity's onBackPressed(),it seems you press the home button.
According to :Going to home screen programmatically
 @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
    startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity(startMain);

TEXANS TWO-STEP:Michigan's latest win can't mask issues with outside shooting, turnovers
LEARNING FROM LOSSES:Michigan must adjust to these tactics Seton Hall used to pull upset
Game notes: The men's half of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge wraps up tonight and the Big Ten enters Wednesday's six-game slate with a commanding 6-2 lead. (Does it matter? The folks in Columbus stormed the court after beating Duke on Tuesday night.) Can the Big Ten win its third straight Challenge? (The ACC actually hasn't won since 2017 — the conferences tied, 7-7, in 2018.) It may already be decided by the time this matchup of college basketball blue bloods tips off.
The Wolverines haven't exactly looked like a blue blood so far this season, though their 11-point win over Tarleton State on Thanksgiving eve was validated slightly by the Texans' sprightly play against No. 1 Gonzaga in a single-digit loss.
BEFORE THE SEASON:How much will star freshmen impact roster?
Still, the early part of the season is all about finding out what — or who — works. Like freshman big man Moussa Diabate, who is averaging 7.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in the Wolverines' six games so far. Or fellow freshman Caleb Houstan, averaging 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds.
After Wednesday's game against the Tar Heels — their opponent in the 1993 national title game — the Wolverines will host San Diego State on Saturday. The Aztecs are led by coach Brian Dutcher, an assistant on that 1993 U-M squad as well as the 1989 team that won it all, so expect a few flashbacks on CBS, good and bad, during the game.

In biochemistry and structural biology, secondary structure is the general three-dimensional form of "local segments" of biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). It does not, however, describe specific atomic positions in three-dimensional space, which are considered to be tertiary structure.
Secondary structure is formally defined by the hydrogen bonds of the biopolymer, as observed in an atomic-resolution structure. In proteins, the secondary structure is defined by patterns of hydrogen bonds between backbone amide and carboxyl groups (sidechain-mainchain and sidechain-sidechain hydrogen bonds are irrelevant), where the DSSP definition of a hydrogen bond is used. In nucleic acids, the secondary structure is defined by the hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous bases.
The hydrogen bonding is correlated with other structural features, however, which has given rise to less formal definitions of secondary structure. For example, residues in protein helices generallyadopt backbone dihedral angles in a particular region of the Ramachandran plot; thus, a segment of residues with such dihedral angles is often called a "helix", regardless of whether it has the correct hydrogen bonds. Many other less formal definitions have been proposed, often applying concepts from the
differential geometry of curves, such as curvature and torsion. Least formally, structural biologists solving a new atomic-resolution structure will sometimes assign its secondary structure "by eye" and record their assignments in the corresponding PDB file.
The rough secondary-structure content of a biopolymer (e.g., "this protein is 40% α-helix and 20% β-sheet.") can often be estimated spectroscopically. For proteins, a common method is far-ultraviolet (far-UV, 170-250 nm) circular dichroism. A pronounced double minimum at 208 and 222 nm indicate α-helical structure, whereas a single minimum at 204 nm or 217 nm reflects random-coil or β-sheet structure, respectively.A less common method is infrared spectroscopy, which detects differences in the bondoscillations of amide groups due to hydrogen-bonding. Finally, secondary-structure contents may beestimated accurately using the chemical shifts of an unassigned NMR spectrum.
Secondary structure was introduced by Kaj Ulrik Linderstrøm-Lang in the 1952 Lane medical lectures at Stanford.
Secondary structure in proteins consists of local inter-residue interactions mediated by hydrogen bonds. The most common secondary structures are alpha helices and beta sheets. Other helices, such as the 310 helix and π helix, are calculated to have energetically favorable hydrogen-bonding patterns but are rarely if ever observed in natural proteins except at the ends of α helices due to unfavorable backbone packing in the center of the helix. Other extended structures such as the polyproline helix and alpha sheet are rare in native state proteins but are often hypothesized as important protein folding intermediates. Tight turns and loose, flexible loops link the more "regular" secondary structure elements. The random coil is not a true secondary structure, but is the class of conformations that indicate an absence of regular secondary structure.
Amino acids vary in their ability to form the various secondary structure elements. Proline and glycine are sometimes known as "helix breakers" because they disrupt the regularity of the α helical backbone conformation; however, both have unusual conformational abilities and are commonly found in turns. Amino acids that prefer to adopt helical conformations in proteins include methionine, alanine, leucine, glutamate and lysine ("MALEK" in amino-acid 1-letter codes); by contrast, the large aromatic residues (tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine) and mathrm{C^{eta-branched amino acids (isoleucine, valine, and threonine) prefer to adopt β-strand conformations. However, these preferences are not strong enough to produce a reliable method of predicting secondary structure from sequence alone.
The DSSP code
The DSSP code is frequently used to describe the protein secondary structures with a single letter code. DSSP is an acronym for "Dictionary of Protein Secondary Structure", which was the title of the original article actually listing the secondary structure of the proteins with known 3D structure (Kabsch and Sander 1983). The secondary structure is assigned based on hydrogen bonding patterns as those initially proposed by Pauling et al. in 1951 (before any protein structure had ever been experimentally determined).
* G = 3-turn helix (310 helix). Min length 3 residues.
* H = 4-turn helix (alpha helix). Min length 4 residues.
* I = 5-turn helix (pi helix). Min length 5 residues.
* T = hydrogen bonded turn (3, 4 or 5 turn)
* E = beta sheet in parallel and/or anti-parallel sheet conformation (extended strand). Min length 2 residues.
* B = residue in isolated beta-bridge (single pair beta-sheet hydrogen bond formation)
* S = bend (the only non-hydrogen-bond based assignment)
In DSSP, residues which are not in any of the above conformations is designated as ' ' (space), which sometimes gets designated with C (coil) or L (loop). The helices (G,H and I) and sheet conformations are all required to have a reasonable length. This means that 2 adjacent residues in the primary structure must form the same hydrogen bonding pattern. If the helix or sheet hydrogen bonding pattern is too short they are designated as T or B, respectively. Other protein secondary structure assignment categories exist (sharp turns, Omega loops etc.), but they are less frequently used.
DSSP H-bond definition
Secondary structure is defined by hydrogen bonding, so the exact definition of a hydrogen bond is critical. The standard H-bond definition for secondary structure is that of DSSP, which is a purely electrostatic model. It assigns charges of pm q_{1} equiv 0.42e to the carbonyl carbon and oxygen, respectively, and charges of pm q_{2} equiv 0.20e to the amide nitrogen and hydrogen, respectively. The electrostatic energy is
:E = q_{1} q_{2} left [ frac{1}{r_{ON + frac{1}{r_{CH - frac{1}{r_{OH - frac{1}{r_{CN ight] cdot 332 mathrm{kcal/mol}According to DSSP, an H-bond exists if and only if E is less than -0.5 kcal/mol. Although the DSSP formula is a relatively crude approximation of the "physical" H-bond energy, it is generally accepted as a tool for defining secondary structure.
Protein secondary-structure prediction
Early methods of secondary-structure prediction were based on the helix- or sheet-forming propensities of individual amino acids, sometimes coupled with rules for estimating the free energy of forming secondary structure elements. Such methods are typically ~60% accurate in predicting which of the three states (helix/sheet/coil) a residue adopts. A significant increase in accuracy (to nearly ~80%) was made by exploiting multiple sequence alignment; knowing the full distribution of amino acids that occur at a position (and in its vicinity, typically ~7 residues on either side) throughout evolution provides a much better picture of the structural tendencies near that position. For illustration, a given protein might have a glycine at a given position, which by itself might suggest a random coil there. However, multiple sequence alignment might reveal that helix-favoring amino acids occur at that position (and nearby positions) in 95% of homologous proteins spanning nearly a billion years of evolution. Moreover, by examining the average hydrophobicity at that and nearby positions, the same alignment might also suggest a pattern of residue solvent accessibility consistent with an α-helix. Taken together, these factors would suggest that the glycine of the original protein adopts α-helical structure, rather than random coil. Several types of methods are used to combine all the available data to form a 3-state prediction, including neural networks, hidden Markov models and support vector machines. Modern prediction methods also provide a confidence score for their predictions at every position.
Secondary-structure prediction methods are continuously benchmarked, e.g., in the [http://cubic.bioc.columbia.edu/eva/sec/res_sec.html EVA] experiment. Based on ~270 weeks of testing, the most accurate methods at present are [http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/psiform.html PsiPRED] , [http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/research/compbio/HMM-apps/T02-query.html SAM] , [http://distill.ucd.ie/porter/ PORTER] , [http://www.predictprotein.org PROF] and [http://sable.cchmc.org/ SABLE] . Interestingly, it does not seem to be possible to improve upon these methods by taking a consensus of them Fact|date=September 2008. The chief area for improvement appears to be the prediction of β-strands; residues confidently predicted as β-strand are likely to be so, but the methods are apt to overlook some β-strand segments (false negatives). There is likely an upper limit of ~90% prediction accuracy overall, due to the idiosyncrasies of the standard method (DSSP) for assigning secondary-structure classes (helix/strand/coil) to PDB structures, against which the predictions are benchmarked [citation needed] .
Accurate secondary-structure prediction is a key element in the prediction of tertiary structure, in all but the simplest (homology modeling) cases. For example, a confidently predicted pattern of six secondary structure elements βαββαβ is the signature of a ferredoxin fold.
Nucleic acids also have secondary structure, most notably single-stranded RNA molecules. RNA secondary structure is generally divided into helices (contiguous base pairs), and various kinds of loops (unpaired nucleotides surrounded by helices). The stem-loop structure in which a base-paired helix ends in a short unpaired loop is extremely common and is a building block for larger structural motifs such as cloverleaf structures, which are four-helix junctions such as those found in transfer RNA. Internal loops (a short series of unpaired bases in a longer paired helix) and bulges (regions in which one strand of a helix has "extra" inserted bases with no counterparts in the opposite strand) are also frequent. Finally, both pseudoknots and base triples are present in RNA (though not DNA).
Since it is almost entirely base pair-mediated, RNA secondary structure can be said to define which bases are paired in a molecule or complex. However, the traditional Watson-Crick base pair is not the only type of pairing that is permissible in RNA; Hoogsteen base pairing is also common.
RNA secondary structure prediction
See also RNA structure
One application of bioinformatics uses predicted RNA secondary structures in searching a genome for noncoding but functional forms of RNA. For example, microRNAs have canonical long stem-loop structures interrupted by small internal loops. A general method of calculating probable RNA secondary structure is dynamic programming, although this has the disadvantage that it cannot detect pseudoknots or other cases in which base pairs are not fully nested. More general methods are based on stochastic context-free grammars. A web server that implements a type of dynamic programming is [http://bioweb.pasteur.fr/seqanal/interfaces/mfold-simple.html Mfold] .
For many RNA molecules, the secondary structure is highly important to the correct function of the RNA — often more so than the actual sequence. This fact aids in the analysis of non-coding RNA sometimes termed "RNA genes". RNA secondary structure can be predicted with some accuracy by computer and many bioinformatics applications use some notion of secondary structure in analysis of RNA.
Both protein and RNA secondary structures can be used to aid in multiple sequence alignment. These alignments can be made more accurate by the inclusion of secondary structure information in addition to simple sequence information. This is sometimes less useful in RNA because base pairing is much more highly conserved than sequence. Distant relationships between proteins whose primary structures are unalignable can sometimes be found by secondary structure.

A very quick post to let you know that this Friday I open my show Storm in a B Cup: a story of breasts at EVA Studios as part of Art Week Exeter. Please come along and join me on Friday evening, 6-8, for the private view. The show then runs from Saturday 13th to Wednesday 17th 10-5:30 (late opening Tuesday until 8).
I have been extremely busy these last few weeks putting the artworks together. I often get a sudden rush of creativity in the lead up to deadlines, which is both a blessing and a curse! I'm still desperately trying to complete works started recently at the same time as starting new ones, it madness in my studio today. Cannot wait for the show to be installed so I can stand back and see all my hard work come together.
I do hope you can make it and pop over to my Instagram feed for some previews of the work.
