Allianz Startup Partner to Offer On-Demand Drone Insurance
Allianz insurtech partner Flock will launch on-demand drone insurance in the UK market through a mobile app for commercial and recreational users, according to the Insurance Journal.
The "Flock Cover" app – will instantly provide pay-as-you-fly liability insurance up to $13.1 million, tailored to each flight, including equipment insurance for commercial users, said AGCS, Allianz' corporate insurance carrier.
"Pilots will be fully insured for their flight time, within a specified geographical region – all of which is customizable at the point of sale, or can be scheduled in advance," AGCS said in a statement.
The "Flock Cover" app leverages big data to provide drone pilots with real-time information, such as ground hazards, weather updates and restricted airspace – all designed to reduce risk and improve flight safety, said AGCS.
Although the product won't be available for several months, Flock has provided early access to beta-testers, with signup available through its website.
Flock and Allianz said they will be announcing more products for the "unmanned aircraft systems" (UAS) market in the coming months.
"Twenty-two incidents involving commercial airliners and possible drones were investigated by the [UK] Civil Aviation Authority's Airprox Board in the first four months of this year alone," Brian Kirwan, UK CEO, AGCS, told the Insurance Journal.
"As drone usage increases, new risk exposures will emerge including the risk of cyber attacks and terrorism," he added. "Future incidents could result in multi-million pound claims against businesses, operators and manufacturers."
Drone insurance has a vital role to play in protecting operators and the public from such risks, said the AGCS in its statement.
"This partnership further aligns with Allianz's digital strategy to focus on new distribution channels for our products and provide enhanced customer journeys in a technologically and digitally changing landscape," Tom Chamberlain, underwriting manager for Aerospace and General Aviation, AGCS, told Insurance Journal.
Drones are fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry, as the number of recreational users grows and the benefits businesses can gain from utilizing such innovative technology becomes apparent, said AGCS, which quoted its report titled, "Rise of the Drones – Managing the Unique Risks Associated with Unmanned Aircraft Systems." (The report can be downloaded from the company's website).

Q: Open local text application to edit remote text file using ssh? So i am in a VPS terminal using ssh.
In normal case I could just run locally
mate <file>

and it fires up TextMate with that file.
Is it possible to use the same command and somehow open the local TextMate application but editing the remote file?
That would be good if you are working in VPS and don't want to use vim all the time.

A: The solution is to mount the remote system using sshfs. On OS X, sshfs can for instance be installed by using Homebrew.
The filesystem is mounted via SSH using your regular SSH credentials or key so it's very easy to do, and then you navigate it as if it's a local directory and enjoy the benefit of having access to all your local tools.

A: You have different options:

*

*mounting a remote filesystem using (Mac)Fuse (as recommended by furtive),

*synchronize your remote directory:

*

*with rsync (as recommended by eglasius),

*with an SCM (like git or hg or others),

*or, and this would be my preferred way, use Emacs (Aquamacs, I guess, in your case) and use the tramp mode to edit remote files.

I used to do this in a few years back for some projects, and it worked perfectly, both for LANs and WANs.
If you want to stick to TextMate, then furtive's solution is ideal.

A: Alternatively you could sync the folder with rsync over ssh.
That way you work locally, and let rsync sync it to the server for you. That could either be explicitly initiated by you or be run in a daemon.

A: If you do ssh to another box then you can open the file using cat and pipe it to a local file.
I dont think so that you can stream it to an editor in the local box.

A: Another option is to use one of the two available Textmate Sync bundles - both use rsync and ssh to keep the remote and local folders synchronized.

*

*Textmate remote sync bundle
This is the bundle I use. It looks to have the exact same functionality as the second bundle but I found this one first.

*Textmate Sync bundle
The only word of warning I would add is the first sync will clear the remote folder and replace it with the contents from the local folder.

Q: Creating a Pandas Dataframe from List of Dictionaries of Dictionaries I have a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a record. It is formatted as follows:
>>> ListOfData=[
... {'Name':'Andrew',
...  'number':4,
...  'contactinfo':{'Phone':'555-5555', 'Address':'123 Main St'}},
... {'Name':'Ben',
...  'number':6,
...  'contactinfo':{'Phone':'555-5554', 'Address':'124 2nd St'}},
... {'Name':'Cathy',
...  'number':1,
...  'contactinfo':{'Phone':'555-5556', 'Address':'126 3rd St'}}]
>>>
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(ListOfData)
[{'Name': 'Andrew',
  'contactinfo': {'Address': '123 Main St', 'Phone': '555-5555'},
  'number': 4},
 {'Name': 'Ben',
  'contactinfo': {'Address': '124 2nd St', 'Phone': '555-5554'},
  'number': 6},
 {'Name': 'Cathy',
  'contactinfo': {'Address': '126 3rd St', 'Phone': '555-5556'},
  'number': 1}]
>>>

What is the best way to read this into a Pandas dataframe with multiindex columns for those attributes in the sub dictionaries?
For example, I'd ideally have 'Phone' and 'Address' columns nested under the 'contactinfo' columns.
I can read in the data as follows, but would like the contact info column to be broken into sub columns.
>>> pd.DataFrame.from_dict(ListOfData)
     Name                                        contactinfo  number
0  Andrew  {u'Phone': u'555-5555', u'Address': u'123 Main...       4
1     Ben  {u'Phone': u'555-5554', u'Address': u'124 2nd ...       6
2   Cathy  {u'Phone': u'555-5556', u'Address': u'126 3rd ...       1
>>>

A: how about this
declare empty data frame
df = DataFrame(columns=('Name', 'conntactinfo', 'number'))

then iterate over List and add rows
for row in ListOfData:
    df.loc[len(df)] = row

complete code
import pandas as pd

ListOfData=[
 {'Name':'Andrew',
  'number':4,
  'contactinfo':{'Phone':'555-5555', 'Address':'123 Main St'}},
 {'Name':'Ben',
  'number':6,
  'contactinfo':{'Phone':'555-5554', 'Address':'124 2nd St'}}]

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=('Name', 'contactinfo', 'number'))

for row in ListOfData:

    df.loc[len(df)] = row

print(df)

this prints
  Name                                      contactinfo  number
0  Andrew  {'Phone': '555-5555', 'Address': '123 Main St'}       4
1     Ben   {'Phone': '555-5554', 'Address': '124 2nd St'}       6

A: Here is a pretty clunky workaround that I was able to get what I need. I loop through the columns, find those that are made of dicts and then divide it into multiple columns and merge it to the dataframe. I'd appreciate hearing any ways to improve this code. I'd imagine that ideally the dataframe would be constructed from the get-go without having dictionaries as values.
>>> df=pd.DataFrame.from_dict(ListOfData)
>>>
>>> for name,col in df.iteritems():
...     if any(isinstance(x, dict) for x in col.tolist()):
...         DividedDict=col.apply(pd.Series)
...         DividedDict.columns=pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([(name,x) for x in DividedDict.columns.tolist()])
...         df=df.join(DividedDict)
...         df.drop(name,1, inplace=True)
...
>>> print df
     Name  number (contactinfo, Address) (contactinfo, Phone)
0  Andrew       4            123 Main St             555-5555
1     Ben       6             124 2nd St             555-5554
2   Cathy       1             126 3rd St             555-5556
>>>

A: Don't know about best or not, but you could do it in two steps:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(ListOfData)
>>> df = df.join(pd.DataFrame.from_records(df.pop("contactinfo")))
>>> df
     Name  number      Address     Phone
0  Andrew       4  123 Main St  555-5555
1     Ben       6   124 2nd St  555-5554
2   Cathy       1   126 3rd St  555-5556

Heart and Cardiovascular Conditions
Spartan 300 Diet
When the tale took place, around 480 BC, Ancient Greece was divided into states and races, like Spartans, Athenians and Thespians. The Spartans were revered for their fighting prowess. The Persian King Xerxes was determined to conquer Greece and he decided to invade Sparta. Because the Spartan leader, King Leonidas, could not get backing from the race's Elders to wage full-scale war on the Persians, he took 300 of his finest soldiers to a mountain pass at Thermopylae. The narrow pass acted like a bottleneck, so although 3 million Persians came to fight, only a few hundred could fight at a time. The 300 Spartans fought for days, killing millions, and only lost when a local peasant betrayed them by showing the Persians a shortcut.
The legend was made into a graphic novel by Frank Miller, and this in turn was adapted into a film by Warner Brothers and directed by Zack Snyder. The producers faced a formidable task in getting their actors to look the part, so they sent them to Gym Jones, a Salt Lake City gym owned by mountain climber Mark Twight. He led them through fight choreography, extreme training sessions and a harsh and thin diet. According to MuscleFitnessBlog.com, Twight said: "We took the opposite route of calorie restriction to make them look like they lived off the land, in the wild, all sinewy and ripped. The diet was adequate to fuel effort and recovery, barely."
The Spartan diet focuses on whole, organic foods. The diet includes mainly Greek and Mediterranean food like olives, olive oil, figs, grapes, apples, avocado, green vegetables, eggs, turkey, chicken fish, whole grain bread and wild rice. On this diet, you should never eat until you are full, and you should be hungry between every meal. The diet should, however, be high in protein, so eat 1.2 g protein for every pound of your body weight, and eat protein every three hours. Eat carbohydrates in the morning to give you the energy to train hard. There is no specific caloric intake recommended; you should simply eat the minimum to give you the energy to exercise, and make sure your calories come from nutritious foods.
The diet will not work if you do not combine it with a strict exercise program. According to GymJones.com, the daily workout should entail 25 pull ups, 50 push ups, 50 dead lifts with a 135-lbs. barbell, 50 repetitions of 24-inch box jumps, 50 single-arm clean-and-press repetitions with a 36 lbs Kettleball, and 50 floor wiper abs exercises. If you cannot manage this, do fewer repetitions and build it up.
Benefits and Considerations
If you follow a strict diet in which you are never full and exercise regularly, you can lose weight and become more toned. This diet encourages food that is high in protein and low in saturated fat, along with complex carbohydrates instead of refined carbohydrates, and foods high in unsaturated fat. If you follow it you may receive numerous health benefits. Red meat and processed meat high in saturated fat can cause cancer, and too much saturated fat can lead to heart disease. The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse also links excess saturated fat to diabetes, stroke and heart attack. Refined carbohydrates can be linked to heart disease, while the American Heart Association explains unsaturated fat may lower risk of heart disease and stroke. The Spartan 300 diet is healthy, nutritious and balanced. However, you may experience dizziness, nausea and fainting. Consult your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise program.

Tactics & Skills
Is Carp Good to Eat? Taste, Safety, Preparation
Geoff Stadnyk in Fishing Guides on June 1, 2022 June 1, 2022
Carp is a hardy and popular fish found in many lakes, ponds and rivers around the world. It can grow quite large and is very common, prompting people to wonder, "is carp good to eat?".
Yes, carp is good to eat! Carp is entirely safe to eat, is very healthy, and many people think it tastes excellent!
This article discusses all the important information you need to know about carp as a source of food: Is it good to eat? What a carp fish taste like, and how to prepare it safely for cooking?
What Is The Best Carp Species For Eating?
There are many types of carp, but the two most popular ones for eating are the common carp and the mirror carp. A common carp can grow up to four feet long and weigh over 40 pounds, while mirror carp is typically smaller, only growing up to three feet long.
Both types of carp have a mild flavor that some people find delicious. If you wonder which type of carp is best to eat, we recommend trying both and seeing which one you prefer.
Is Carp Good To Eat?
If you wonder whether carp is good to eat, the answer really depends on your personal preferences. As we mentioned before, some people think carp tastes excellent, while others find it a bit bland. Some people enjoy the taste of carp, while others find it to be an oily fish.
What Does A Carp Fish Taste?
Where the carp fish came from and how it was handled and prepared will have a significant effect on its taste and flavor. A not properly cleaned carp will have a muddy taste and fishy flavor, while a carp caught in clean waters and cleaned properly will have a unique and relatively mild flavor. Carp has moist and flaky meat, and because of its high oil content, it is favorably compared to salmon and tilapia.
What Are The Benefits Of Eating Carp?
In some parts of the world, carp is considered a delicacy and is eaten on special occasions. Carp is rich in Omega-three fatty acids and is an excellent source of protein, which is very beneficial in maintaining a healthy heart and overall health.
Besides being a food source, carp also has several other benefits. For example, anglers often use carp as baitfish because they are easy to catch (by just using fake bread as bait or even garlic) and they struggle when hooked. Some health benefits of eating carp are:
The ability to improve heart health
Help lower the inflammation
Protect respiratory health
Optimize digestive functions
Slow the aging process
Fend of chronic diseases
Is Carp Meat Clean?
The quality of the carp's meat depends on the environment it lives in. If you catch a carp in polluted or muddy water, the carp taste will have a muddy smell and taste. However, a carp from clean, pollution-free water will give clean, pollution-free meat.
So, if you want to buy or catch a carp fish for food, make sure that it comes from the cleanest water possible, where the carp eat a healthy, diverse diet of insects, worms, mollusk, and aquatic plants. If the carp is from clean water, you will not taste the muddy flavor that others complained about carp meat.
Choosing The Best Carp Meat For Food
When choosing the best carp meat for food, make sure that the fish comes from a clean source and that it has been appropriately cleaned and gutted. You also want to make sure that the fish you select is fresh and does not have bruises or blemishes. So if you catch carp or buy live fish from fish markets, clean the fish immediately to preserve the meat quality and taste.
How Carp Compares To Other Fish Species
Carp is a relatively mild-flavored fish, which some people find delicious. Compared to other fish species, carp is a very adaptable fish and can be an ingredient in many recipes. Carp is lower in mercury and other toxins making it a safe choice for anyone who wants to live a healthy diet.
Carp is a good source of protein, omega-three fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. These factors make carp a great choice if you are looking for healthy and delicious fish to add to your diet.
Cleaning And Preparing Carp For Cooking
Cleaning and preparing carp for cooking is a relatively simple process. Below are simple steps you can follow to clean and prepare carp for cooking.
Fresh Carp
If you bought or catch a live carp, let it live for a few days in a big tub of fresh water to clean the mud vein. Do not feed because this will help clean the fish. Put a dissolved salt (1 teaspoon) in the tub of water every day. Dissolving a teaspoon of salt will help improve the taste of the fish.
To clean the fish, first, stun it with a hammer while pinning it against the side of the tub with one hand. When it's dead, the fish is then ready to be gutted and scaled.
Scaling Carp
Carp has large thick scales, which are over ½ inch wide. To scale, start by drawing the knife or scaler across the body from head to tail and then pressing to remove the scales. Rinse the carp fish with water and then pat it dry with a paper towel.
Gutting Carp
To gut the carp, you need to make a small incision in its belly to remove the organs inside. Once the guts are removed, rinse the fish again with cold water.
Filleting Carp
To minimize the cleaning process, you can fillet the fish before gutting it. Start by cutting behind the gills of the fish with a sharp knife. Put a little slice on the backbone and ribs, and then lift it while slicing towards the tail. When the first side is done, flip the fish over and start the same process on the other side and prepare carp for skinning.
Skinning Carp Fillet
Usually, fish can be grilled with the skin on, but carp has a "mud vein" under its skin, which should be removed for a better-tasting carp fish. To remove the mud vein, you need to skin the fish first.
Begin skinning by placing the fish fillet on the cutting board with the meat side up and gently cutting along the one end of the fillet until you can lay your knife sideways in the slit. Carve the knife with pressure towards the cutting board in long strokes while holding the skin back with your non-dominant hand.
Removing The Mud Vien
Remove the mud vein by making a v-cut on the side of the dark lateral line of the carp fish. Then gently remove the meat and vein that runs along with it.
Delicious Recipes That Use Carp As The Main Ingredient
Now that you know everything there is to know about carp, it's time to try some delicious recipes that use this fish as the main ingredient. Cooking carp can be easy, as there are many ways. You can cook carp deep fried, baked, and grilled. Below are two of our favorites:
Carp Fried Rice: Fried rice with carp is a great way to use any leftover carp you may have. You can make this recipe by pan frying some rice in a pan with some oil, adding chopped vegetables and diced carp, and seasoning to taste.
Carp Curry: This curry is a traditional dish from Asia that is made with coconut milk, spices, and, of course, carp. It's a hearty and filling dish that is a perfect meal for anyone on a cold winter day.
The History Of Carp As Food
Carp is a tasty fish and has been consumed in Asia and Europe for thousands of years. It is native to Asia and parts of Europe and was introduced around the world because of its popularity as a prized source of food.
It was considered a lucky fish in Asia and food that fit for the tables of kings and emperors. A carp fish delicacy would often grace the feasts of the rich and mighty. King Henry VIII of England has even set up his own carp pond to provide carp for his table.
In the United States, carp fish was introduced in the mid -19th century by European immigrants who brought along with them their favorite fish dish. Carp were introduced in the United States, and many began to cook carp as food and stocked large amounts of different carp species in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and rivers.
Although many people still think of carp as game fish or a trash fish, it is now considered a delicacy in the United States. Carp is served on the menu of expensive hotels and restaurants and on the table of many Americans who like to eat carp. Today, large-scale carp fishing and farming operations demand has grown throughout the country and the world.
What Carp Is, And Where It Comes From?
Carp are large freshwater fish that originated from Asia and Europe. This fish species belongs to the minnow family, which contains many species of freshwater fish. Carp are hardy fish and can live in a variety of habitats. They are farmed in Asia, Central Europe, and the Middle East.

Derek Jeter wouldn't say whether he would take a knee during the national anthem if he still were playing, but the Marlins' new co-owner and future Hall of Famer wouldn't have a problem if one of his players chose to protest social injustice and police brutality by doing so.
As a player, Jeter rarely discussed social issues. But when asked his feelings about athletes taking a knee, which has become a major topic of discussion since former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee last year as a form of protest and has been followed by many other NFL players, he had no problem sharing his opinion. One MLB player, Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell, has taken a knee. Growing up biracial in Michigan, Jeter faced racism, and has said it shaped his life.
Jeter made baseball news this week, when he poached former Yankees vice president of player development Gary Denbo to join the Marlins as director of player development and amateur scouting. So far, Jeter is enjoying his return to baseball.
But he still has made time to follow his old team. Jeter has kept tabs on the Yankees from their victory in the wild-card game through the ALDS against the Indians, and he has been impressed.
"They're doing well," the legendary Yankees shortstop said. "A lot of them I worked with at the minor league complex [when he was still playing]. A lot of the players I saw when they were 17, 18 years old. It's fun to watch. Yankees fans have a lot of years watching [these] guys.

At Lela Rose: A lovely ladylike collection with plenty of punchy colors. Rose said she was inspired by the sun-faded palette of Alex Katz paintings and the splashes of color seen at Venice Beach in California. Plenty to wear here, and nothing too kooky.
At Derek Lam: Sporty, with some terrific print dresses and a bit of glitter. Good-looking separates. The collection seemed to be '50s inspired, with a finale of what the designer called "one pieces," which were elaborate blouse rompers-bathing suits, something you might see worn poolside in a period film.
At Herve Leger (by Max Azria): The bandage dress reinterpreted quite creatively. Leger dresses and skirts are some of the hottest items at retail. If you've got the figure, it's worth a look or two or three.
At Diane Von Furstenberg: A North African tribal feel to some of the pieces. Lots of macrame, rich bold prints, including some animal patterns, and some pretty sleek-looking solid-toned draped-front dresses that remind one of Donna Karan's signature style to some degree.

Chick-Fil-A Seeks Clifton Park Approval For New Restaurant
Matty Jeff Published: August 25, 2021
It has been a saga that has been going on for about 5 years now. But could Chick-Fil-A finally be getting ready to open a long-rumored Clifton Park restaurant?
I know. If you love Chick-Fil-A you are thinkning "Matty, we have been through this drill before." And usually I would be a little skeptical too, but this latest development has some legs.
Chick-Fil-A has applied for a permit with the town of Clifton Park to convert the old Pier 1 location in Clifton Park Center into it's newest Capital Region location, according to an Albany Business Review story. The old Pier 1 would be demolished to make way for the 5,000 foot square foot restaurant with a drive-thru. Albany Business Review says Chick-Fil-A has hired an Albany engineering firm to help with the plans which will be presented to town officials September 14th for approval. Once approved, construction of the new eatery should take about 6 months.
From the sound of it, this may be this most concrete possibility we have seen over the last several years of a Chick-Fil-A actually opening in the Clifton Park area. We have had numerous rumors, and even a recent hoax, fueling the "Is Chick-Fil-A coming" discussion. But this location makes sense and by the sounds of this report it looks like it could finally be happening.
If this one comes to frution, that could mean 3 new chicken joints opening in the Clifton Park area in the months ahead. Popeye's is also planning a Halfmoon restaurant, ,and the new 518 Donuts (Which will serve gourmet fried chicken) plans on opening in the coming weeks.

We will come and inspect your roof and give you a free quotation on the best solution for your roof and budget.
We understand that a re-roofing service is disruptive and difficult to live and work around.
This is why we offer a comprehensive and efficient service.
We aim to re-roof your home or business effectively and efficiently so that you can return to normal as soon as possible, safe in the knowledge that your building is secured.
We take pride in offering a friendly and courteous service from all our staff and you will be impressed by our level of professionalism.
When you mention Felt or Flat Roofs almost everyone's first thought is of leaks and damage to ceilings, walls and carpets and furniture.
We are discovering that a lot of old flat / felt roofs suffer from water seeping through the old fashioned built up felted roof, which becomes and on-going problem due to the felt flat roof felt becoming brittle and degraded over time which invariantly leads to flat roof leaks. Modern Flat roofing materials are now so advanced and efficient that we can guarantee your flat or felt roof will be waterproof and leak free.
We find that homeowners believe that they should continually keep repairing their flat roof felt with similar low quality mineral felt, that require felting on a regular basis. We can provide solutions that will ensure your property is maintenance free and hassle free for many years.
Once we have replaced your roof it will be a waterproof seal over the whole of your roof that is weather resistant, 100% watertight, and guaranteed.
A replacement roof project is made more complex depending on the size of roof, number of hips and valleys, dormers and skylights, size and type of tile.
All these factors are labour intensive and will have an effect on the time schedule of a replacement roof project. As a rough guide an 'up and over' terrace house can be completed in 3-4 days while an 'up and over' detached house would take 5 – 7 days.

New Studies Say Gentrification Doesn't Really Force Out Low-Income Residents

Gentrification, that once-wonky, now common concept, is a term freighted with moral urgency, resentment, and guilt, because almost nobody in a high-cost city can avoid it. You're either suffering its effects or inflicting them, often both at the same time. Unless you leave town altogether — as hundreds of thousands of people of all income brackets do every year — saying good-bye to one neighborhood makes you a newcomer in another. At its most basic, gentrification is what happens when newcomers to a neighborhood arrive with more income or education than those who already live there. At its most politically charged, it's treated as a form of colonialism, ethnic cleansing, even genocide. Yet gentrification's status as a great urban evil, a ravager of lives and destroyer of communities, is based as much on faith as on fact. Most scholarly research on the topic compares snapshots of cities and neighborhoods at different times but loses track of what happens to the actual people who live there.
Now, a pair of studies has used Census micro-data and Medicaid records to track specific residents of both gentrifying and non-gentrifying neighborhoods — where they live, where their children go to school, when they move, and where they go. The researchers come up with some startling findings. In a paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Quentin Brummet and David Reed says that urbanites move all the time, for countless reasons, and that gentrification has scant impact on that constant flow. Those who stay put as a neighborhood grows more affluent often see their quality of life rise and their children enjoy more opportunities. Those who leave rarely do worse.
In a separate study at NYU by Kacie Dragan, Ingrid Ellen, and Sherry A. Glied, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the researchers used Medicaid records to track thousands of children from address to address, between 2009 to 2015, a period of boiling gentrification. They found that schoolkids who lived in neighborhoods that saw an influx of college graduates didn't move away more often than their peers in less fluid areas. Taken together, the papers suggest that gentrification's upsides for longtime residents not only exist but go a long way toward mitigating the pain it causes. "Exposure to higher-income neighborhoods has important benefits for low-income residents, such as improving the mental and physical health of adults and increasing the long-term educational attainment and earning of children," Brummet and Reed assert.
These papers measure the measurable and quantify the quantifiable. They are narrow in scope and limited in their conclusions. They don't capture the sense of a familiar world slipping away, or what it feels like when the mix of languages and races on your block begins to change. They don't address the disappointment of young adults realizing they can't afford to rent near the blocks where they grew up. They miss the network of churches, groceries, sounds, and stores that dissolves when, say, a black neighborhood grows whiter, or an immigrant enclave breaks up. Emotions, culture, and economics interact in ways that resist statistical analysis.
It would be wrong to use this research to airbrush out all the injustices and calamities that the poor have to deal with, such as landlords making their tenants' lives so miserable that they are forced to decamp. For NYCHA residents, the right to stay put comes with the need to put up with mold, lead paint, and extreme temperatures. Far from waving an intellectual wand over neighborhood change and declaring it all fine, they point out that low-income urbanites suffer chronic instability, whether their neighborhoods are metamorphosing around them or remain locked in poverty. At any given time, some would prefer to stay but find they have to move; others want to move and can't. Pressure cuts both ways.
Even with all those qualifiers, though, the studies make it clear that the simple narratives of gentrification's evil don't hold up. A neighborhood is not a filled and stoppered bathtub, where for every drop that flows in, another must slosh out. It's more like a wet sponge, with residents draining away and evaporating all the time, newcomers passing through or settling in, finding whatever crannies seem hospitable at any given time. The Philadelphia Fed paper concludes explicitly that changes in a neighborhood's demographics are driven far more by who moves in than who moves out.
Shifting the emphasis away from displacement matters because it suggests that efforts to protect a neighborhood's character are largely beside the point. Those who live there will move or stay, get used to the newcomers or not. They are not being evicted en masse, and they cannot be sheltered as a group. More people leave New York for the suburbs or other states than arrive from other places around the country — and that's almost always been the case. Today, the city's population is growing (slowly) partly because of the influx of recent college grads, but mostly because of births and arrivals from abroad. If you feel that the city is crowded enough, thank you very much, and can't absorb another new New Yorker, then your problem is with immigrants and babies born within the five boroughs, not with an avalanche of tech bros.
The flow of population in and out gives New York much of its strength and some of its problems; sometimes the two are indistinguishable. A dysfunctional school system pushes many families to the suburbs; if it got stellar overnight, the city would become unmanageably clogged just as quickly. The odds of being murdered by a stranger on the street remains vanishingly low; if they soared, rents would suddenly become more affordable. The same is true at the neighborhood level: safer streets, fresher food, more welcoming public spaces, better transit, and greener parks improve the lives of old residents and attract new ones.
This complicated, unpredictable dynamic often gets boiled down to serve an agenda. Different prongs of the anti-gentrification movement offer mutually exclusive solutions. One extreme urges the construction of affordable housing: build it dense, soon, and everywhere. Any objection is inhumane. To fuss over open space, historical fabric, or the need for sun on parks is to care about the wrong things and the wrong people. The counter-faction sees new construction as the cause of displacement rather than the cure. "Affordability" is just a word to sugarcoat a developer boondoggle. The first group would like to see New York grow ever more towers, the second wants all the building to stop and for affluent newcomers to just go away.
In practice, most policies that combat gentrification protect the status quo. They encourage people to stay where they are and they slow the rate of demographic change. We have a constellation of good and worthy programs that protect vulnerable residents from being bullied or buffeted and allow them to stay in their homes if that's what they want. The state's newly reinforced rent regulations will be a boon to many (though the full range of unintended consequences have yet to make themselves fully known). Broadening the base of jobs, shoring up a beleaguered transit system, caring for parks and public space, shedding car traffic on city streets — these efforts can all mitigate against the economy's persistent inequities.
But policies specifically aimed at keeping communities intact can be counterproductive. In many subsidized new buildings, for example, the city sets aside half of all affordable apartments for applicants who already live in the neighborhood. That's a troubling practice because trying to keep communities intact through quotas often winds up perpetuating segregation. A report by a Queens college sociologist Andrew Beveridge, which the city hoped to suppress and a judge recently made public, found that, thanks to such set-asides, affordable-housing lotteries in predominantly white neighborhoods exclude African-Americans; lotteries in majority black neighborhoods reinforce the area's racial makeup, with a result that racial borders remain artificially frozen.
Let's say you and your spouse have two kids, two full-time jobs, two hour commutes, a household income of $64,000 (equal to 60 percent of New York's area median income, or AMI), and a too-small apartment in Mott Haven. You keep tabs on affordable-housing lotteries around the city and, knowing how ridiculously small your chances of winning any one are, enter half a dozen at once. Neighborhood set-asides boost the odds that you'll score an apartment in a new affordable-housing development nearby, which means keeping your children in a failing school and letting your life leach away on the long subway ride to work. But those same set-asides also substantially decrease your chances of getting out and moving to, say, the affordable apartments in a deluxe waterfront tower in Long Island City or Hudson Yards. It's a policy that exhorts you to know your place.
Government should be making it easier, not harder, for people to change addresses if and when they want to. As newcomers roll in, with or without college educations, nobody has the right to tell them they shouldn't or can't. In the short term, gentrification makes neighborhoods more, not less, economically diverse and more racially integrated. The problem is that over time, those advantages dissipate, though not uniformly, and temporarily mixed neighborhoods become homogeneous again, and each new population in turn defends the turf it colonized. Diversity, not preservation, should be the goal. Instead of expending vast amounts of energy trying to shield fragile communities from change, we should make sure they reap its benefits.

I Want To Like This: Podcast #47, "War of the Stars" and stuff.
This week Thomas and Jerry took time out of their schedules to watch, the Man Behind the Mask's fanedit of Star Wars: A New Hope, The War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused . This recut of old vhs footage before the special additions is layered with deleted scenes, new effects made by the editor, and lines of dialog by Mr. Jones from other works all put together with a bad cinema aesthetic, has a delightful sense of humor that makes an old classic fun and new. But, hear it from the guys themselves on this episode!
You can watch The War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused here!
In modern media sequels and reboots have become a commonality. SO much so, that they are often cited as Hollywood losing creativity. No Genre has ever been more sequalized or rebooted than that of Horror. And to talk about this we welcome Alexandra Arns back to the podcast! Thomas and Alex sit down and talk about whether or not creativity still exists in the genre, how out of touch Alex has become with it due to life, and some of the films that are coming out this year in the genre.
Find more of Miss Arns on Twitter and Facebook.
Everyone changes jobs in their life, and everyone things the next job is going to be better than the last. This is not always true. And today Thomas talks about those kind of instances with comedian in the making Nick Sillanpaa. But they are not alone! Fresh off of last week's episode, Ian Lee sits in to this fun chat about getting work where you can, and hoping it is what you want in life.
This week Thomas sat down in the studio with Ian Lee (Previous podcast found here) to watch and talk about the 2015 Max Landis penned film "Mr. Right". And with a cast starring Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell, this filmed failed to disappoint. Seriously though, this Movie has Thomas debating buying a Tropical button up. But, you can hear what Ian and Thomas have to say about it in this episode of the podcast!
The movie "Nerve" is a really fun film. SO fun in fact, that Thomas and Jerry could not wait to record this episode of the podcast after watching it. That excitement really comes through as the talk about the 2016 film starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco.
They also mention Jerry's soon to be vacation to southern Illinois and the concert Thomas is dying to go to this summer.
Martin "Littlekuriboh" Billany joins Thomas on the podcast today via Skype! Martin is a Britist voice actor who started his career making a youtube parady series of the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! He has since on his channel created content commenting on entertainment, one of which is "The Mark Remark" a youtube show about professional wrestling. Prowrestling and anime? It is easy to see why Martin and Thomas get along. Martin is a lver of great storytelling so it makes sense that he would want to watch and discuss the HBO Drama "West World". The Sci-fi western series has received a lot of praise since its debute, and Martin agrees with a lot of it. He also has somethings he thinks it lacks, which makes this a conversation and not just an hour of praising something.
If you would like more of Martin you should check him out on TWITTER, his YOUTUBE, or at TeamFourStar! Or if you are looking to employ the talents of Martin Billany, find booking info HERE.
DISCLAIMER!: Again, this was recorded over Skype and there were a couple of network issues. But overall, this was a fun first step to being able to reach out to more guests from areas outside my small corner of the world.
This podcast is a contrast to last week, with no crunch for time three friends who do not get to catch up all that often got rambly and had fun. The backbone of this conversation though, is that our guest Alexandra Arns wanted to discuss the two biggest Zombie franchizes in the world. This is made fun by her fandom, and Jerry and Thomas's lack of knowledge. That and aforementioned meandering.

The team behind the Osler digital report card for procedural credentialing has gone live with a campaign on crowd-funding platform Indiegogo, looking to raise $300,000 to develop its prototype into a globally accepted clinical performance management platform.
Osler is the brainchild of Queensland-based intensive care specialist Todd Fraser, who with Melbourne-based colleagues has developed a cloud-based platform that promises to allow acute care clinicians to manage and track their credentials, creating a digital report card of their capability and proficiency.
The platform is initially aimed at critical care doctors, nurses, students and paramedics to allow them to record, measure and improve levels of proficiency. The plan is also to later extend the platform to surgical as well as medical procedures.
Dr Fraser said he and his colleagues had been on a tour of the country with the idea and had visited six hospitals, all of which are interested in becoming pilot sites.
Early supporters of the campaign will have a chance to help influence the system's direction and Osler Technology is offering large discounts on annual subscriptions to the platform.
The company has a working prototype complete and is raising money for a commercial release through the campaign. The functional first release is scheduled for November this year.
In addition to a digital record of procedural capabilities and the ability to demonstrate competency, the platform will provide users with access to an acute care multimedia encyclopaedia, interactive learning resources and real-time interaction with acute care clinicians around the world.

Hello! A Mo Salah striking lookalike!!
Bahaa has regularly been seen on Egyptian television posing in both the Egyptian national and Liverpool shirts baring Salah's name. In videos of him roaming the streets, plenty of people believe they are meeting the man himself, and with good reason.
Driving home just how similar the pair actually look, Salah met his lookalike back in 2016, when he was still a household name in Egypt but had not yet unleashed his incredible talents on English football.
After failing to originally impress with Chelsea, Salah returned to English football last summer when Liverpool committed £39million to sign him from Roma and has since scored a record-equalling 31 goals in the Premier League alone.
His exploits have since seen him claim the PFA and FWA Player of the Year awards while he has also dragged Liverpool into the Champions League final, where he can take his career to a new level by beating current holders Real Madrid on May 26.
But it will be the World Cup where he can take his cult status to new heights within Egypt. He already sparked pandemonium by scoring the decisive goal to secure qualification last year and has a chance to break new ground in Russia.
Egypt have never won a game at the World Cup finals but have a significant chance to progress into the knockout rounds after being drawn alongside hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia, who together make up the two lowest-ranked sides in the contest. and Uruguay in Group A.

The Bad Voltaic uses stiff solar panels; as with other solar chargers, charging depends on the position in the sunlight and available light; easy-to-lose components.
The Bottom Line The Voltaic Backpack's thoughtful design and solar-charging features shine for keeping cell phones, handhelds, MP3 players, and digital cameras charged away from electrical outlets.
If you've ever hesitated to pack an MP3 player or handheld device on an outdoor excursion, fearing the devices will run out of power too soon to be useful, the $250 Voltaic solar backpack's charging features can be worth the premium you'll pay over backpacks that lack power.
You might expect a big company specializing in outdoor apparel and gear, like REI or North Face, to produce such a product. Instead, as with other early and novel "green" electronics, like USBCell AA batteries, this innovation comes from Voltaic Systems, a small business that touts ecological sustainability through renewable energy and recycled materials.
The Voltaic Backpack is relatively comfortable to wear, but it's also a conversation piece that attracts questions from curious strangers.
We reviewed Voltaic's $249 Backpack. The $199 Converter is a smaller version of the Backpack that includes a water bladder for hiking and camping and the same 4-watt capabilities. Voltaic's $229 Messenger bag also provides 4 watts and 11 adapters. The future lineup includes the 17-watt Generator for $699, which could become the first laptop-charging shoulder bag on the market.
Voltaic Systems is aiming to create a "green" product from the inside out. The Taiwan factory that spins the bags' PET fabric from discarded plastic soda bottles now also supplies fabric to Nike. And you won't be frustrated by wasteful, hard-to-crack packaging; recycled paper makes up both the backpack's shipping container and adapter box.
This backpack is spacious enough to fit a 17-inch laptop, although it won't charge one. There are plenty of pockets and pouches for other devices, papers, pens, and more.
The Voltaic Backpack is roomy, tucking away its wires within pockets. You can run headphone cords through a shoulder strap, for access to an MP3 player or phone that can fit inside its own Velcro-shut shoulder pouch. There are plenty of zippered pockets, including mesh ones, as well as room for a water bladder, which is handy for hiking. The recycled nylon fabric should resist rain, as long as it's zipped shut to protect the electrical innards, but it's not waterproof. The Voltaic offers more space within than the competing solar Juice Bag from Reware: 1,850 cubic inches versus 1,255 cubic inches.
Even without the solar panels, this is a well-made backpack with plenty of pockets for gear for a short camping or bicycling trip. However, sometimes we wanted to remove the solar modules when we weren't using them, so people on the street would stop ogling our backpack.
A light atop the bag glows red to show electrical activity. It glowed even indoors, but take it outside for charging. The bag's three stiff, monocrystalline solar cells are supposed to pack more power into a smaller area as the amorphous, thin-film cells in the competing Reware Juice Bags. Yet Voltaic's cells feel flexible enough for natural movement when wearing the backpack, not nearly as rigid as they might appear. Voltaic also says its solar components withstand bending and heavy loads, while resisting tears from sharp objects. The cells are supposed to last 25 years and should also "self-heal" in the sun. If badly damaged, you can replace each 4-ounce cell for $30.


Cast Stone, Granite or Bullnose Ring has to be purchased and installed at the same time as the fire pit because of different installation requirements for these products (firebrick & heat sensitive mortar).
Note: Do not cover natural gas burner completely with glass fire beads to ensure your unit will burn properly. Available Glass Fire Bead Colors are Diamond, Aqua and Emerald.
*Fire pit grates are designed to cantilever over the fire for cooking. Installation instructions included.
This optional stainless steel screen is durable and hinged for easy access to the fire and offers protection from flying embers. Fits onto all square and round barbeque & fire pits.
This optional galvanized steel cover prevents dirt and debris from entering the fire pit when not in use. Fits onto all Square and Round Barbeque & Fire Pits.
Note: An open fire will damage the Spark Screen. It has been specifically designed and engineered for containing sparks and embers only.

Interview with Author C.T. Hutt
This week we are talking with C.T. Hutt, author of Havoc's Children: Dog Days of Thereafter.
Airship Ambassador: Hi C.T., thanks for joining us for this interview.
C.T. Hutt: You are very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to put together such a stellar network of likeminded steampunk aficionados.
AA: It has been great fun over the years to meet so many wonderful people from around the world. Readers may know you from your previous work, including Walking Still in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Three Nights on Isola de Felicita in 69 Flavors of Paranoia, and Ode to the Unceasing Doggerel in Juked. Now, your latest book is being published. What is Havoc's Children: Dog Days of Thereafter about?
CTH: Havoc's Children is about the past. It's about how time and again history's mistakes crawl out of the dust to plague the living. It's about small town folks caught up in calamitous events they can't control. Havoc's Children is a yarn about god-like creatures playing us mortal fools like pawns in some terrible game. Mostly, it's about people, regular people in strange circumstances trying to live, love, and survive like the rest of us.
AA: Why choose steampunk as the aesthetic and feel for this story?
CTH: Steampunk felt right for this story. Steampunk isn't all top hats with built-in cuckoo clocks, it is a genre that builds a certain flavor into a world. I needed a certain romance with technology for this story to work and I pulled a lot of steampunk genre thinking into the world-building to make that happen. I admit I also borrowed a few tropes from traditional sci-fi and fantasy genres. And as long as I'm confessing, I should admit I do have a thing for fun hats.
AA: Almost everyone could do with a fun hat 🙂 How does Havoc's Children express your vision of steampunk, and what does it add to the existing works in the genre?
CTH: When telling a story, it's important to remember that genre is just the bread, not the whole sandwich. The 1800s (the steampunk aesthetics' inspiration) were not all lace and fancy parties. It was an age of violence, war, mad innovation, and politics by way of the sword.
If Havoc's Children adds anything to the steampunk experience, I hope it's a little western grit.
AA: And there's plenty of grit in what I was reading. What was the inspiration and motivation for creating Havoc's Children?
CTH: I was taking a class at The University of Colorado on the late 19th century sympathetic novel. Terribly dry stuff for the most part, but still pretty interesting to discuss thanks to our excellent professor, Mary Klages. During the course she brought in some actual newspapers from 1859, two years before the US Civil War kicked off. Something about holding those crumbling documents with their intricate etchings and sprawling articles struck me like a bolt of lightning.
I was instantly hooked. I visited used book stores from Denver to London sniffing around for documents and periodicals from the time period. I've put together a decent collection. All the while, the story began to come together. Havoc began as a short story I sold to the ill-fated Steampunk Magazine called "The Dead and The Dust." From there it grew and grew until it was this entire other world where I spent long periods of time. Most of the first scenes and images for the book proper came to me in dreams. The rest was the result of long hours at the computer or notepad, writing and re-writing chapters.
AA: That's an interesting journey which I think people can relate to – history becomes 'real' and living when seeing artifacts from the time, which can inspire questions about what life was really like then, and for writers, sparking an idea of what could be. What are the key themes in Havoc's Children?
CTH: I'll leave that one to my readers and future scholars of twenty first century sympathetic novels. Feminism, perhaps. The cyclical nature of history, I suppose. One could also make the argument that it's a meaningless penny dreadful about a war against undead ghouls. I'm afraid I'm poorly qualified to make this analysis.
AA: OK, readers, chime in about the themes you felt were in the book. What can you share with us about the personality traits, motivations, and inner qualities of the main characters, such as Beauford, Susan, and Cora?
CTH: Well, there are quite a few characters in Havoc's Children. I never felt fully comfortable thinking of any one of them as the main character. The basic narrative structure of the book divides the reader's attention between five distinct storylines.
Beauford Kearn is the most obvious contender for the role of primary protagonist. He's a reluctant player in his own story, a working joe with a distaste for politics and grandiosity. Frankly, he's kind of a difficult fellow to work with, very irritable and strong-willed. Even still, he's the right person for the situation he finds himself in. Trouble and danger follow Beauford Kearn like a black dog, but he doesn't shy away from what he's called on to do.
Susan Carby is an Executor, a learned scholar in the fields of administration and ethics. Her family has a troubled history with Havoc and her mother will never let her forget it. Even still, she puts a high value on public service and makes it her business to do what's best for the town, no matter what. She's under a lot of pressure to conform to the standards applied to someone of her position and class. Very few people get to see her without her professional armor on except her lover, Beauford.
The Magi are three of Havoc's smartest and most capable citizens. Red Briar, Amelia Brook, and Jean Mason form an unusual, but brilliant sisterhood. Red and Amelia sort of hate each other, which doesn't help much. Red is a hard-drinking, hard-working industrial genius. Amelia is a gifted inventor, but she is bookish, high born, and withdrawn around people. Thankfully, Jean is there to help them get over themselves and work together. She's a farm girl with a warm nature and an aptitude as a pilot. They are all capable individuals, but working together their innovation has the power to change the world.
Joan Carby, Susan's estranged sister, is more of a ghost than a woman. "The Shootist" as she calls herself is an ominous drifter with unclear motives. Whatever happened to her since her exile from Havoc is a mystery, but one thing is very clear about her: she's dangerous.
Cora Hale is the first character that readers meet in Havoc's Children. She's a picker, she spends her days combing the dead cities of Thereafter looking for valuable salvage from the old world. Despite her low station in life, she's happy enough being a nobody. Sadly for her, such anonymity was not meant to last. Through her eyes, so to speak, we catch our first look at the sinister characters behind The Westfall Blight. She's not fully aware of it yet, but she has a much bigger role to play in the world than she's ready for.
There are a great many other characters in the world of Thereafter that bear analysis, I fancy. Why, I could write a whole book on the subject…
Always so much more, but we'll pause here in our chat with C.T. Hutt. Join us again when he talks about characters and details in the world of Havoc

UNREC handed over firearms marking machines to the Government of Togo
Catégorie : les nouvelles de l'UNREC
On 14 August 2019, UNREC Handed over two (02) Couth MC 2000 firearms marking machines to the Government of Togo trough the Togolese Minister for Security and Protection of Civilians in a formal ceremony attended by the Ambassador of Japan.
This ceremony marked the launch of the Arms marking process in the framework of the project entitled 'Technical Assistance for Physical Security and Stockpile Management, Marking and Destruction of Small Arms and Light Weapons and Related Ammunitions in Togo'. The Project is implemented by the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament (UNREC), the African Centre of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA), with the financial support of the Government of Japan.The ceremony was chaired by the Minister for Security and Protection of Civilians, in the presence of the President of the Togolease National Commission on Small Arms (CNLPAL), the Ambassador of Japan to the Togolese Republic, the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations System in Togo and other United Nations entities.
The marking machines will enable national defense and security forces to undertake the marking of Civilian and State-Owned weapons presented to them nationwide in order to reduce the illicit proliferation and circulation of weapons in Togo and help improve security and stability in West-Africa.
The State of Japan, through its Ambassador to the Republic of Togo, has reiterated its support for the Togolese Government in its fight against insecurity, which tends to undermine its development efforts and threatens people lives.
On 7 August 2019, prior to this ceremony, the Government of Togo, through its National Commission on Small Arms and in collaboration with UNREC, organized an awareness campaign ahead of the Arms marking process in three main regions: The Eastern Plateau, the Western Plateau and the Maritime regions.
The meeting brought together, prefects security, customers, administrative and customary chiefs around two main topics:
Exchanges and information sharing between the National Commission, the regional authorities and committees on current security issues.
Awareness campaign in preparation of the physical security and stock management, weapons marking and destruction of obsolete weapons and their ammunition in Togo.
The collective nature of the fight for peace and security at local, national and regional levels with regard to the proliferation of SALW was discussed. It has been highlighted that the National Development Programme advocated by the government cannot work unless security is established beforehand.
Participants decided to make the fight against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, their priority in each of their areas of influence to ensure peace, social and economic development for their citizens.

Zhao Hai smiles said : "this you not to need to manage, so long as you have handled this matter as soon as possible on the line, is certainly quick, but is also low-key, presently these thing is we buys, can you achieve?" Green one calm, his although don't know Zhao Hai gets so far as these from there, but he thinks that this has certainly relationship with that ability that Zhao Hai obtains, therefore his immediately/on horseback said : "Young Master feel relieved, this point old servant can achieve, my immediately/on horseback arranges." Zhao Hai nodded, stops by calling out Green said : that just about to outward walks "Grandpa Green, making these slaves in tube these commodities, immediately/on horseback tidied up these mine tunnels, must tidy up in the shortest time these mine tunnels, we must raise many Blue Eye Rabbit, these commodities I will receive, you did not need to be worried." Green two eyes twinkling brightly, to the Zhao Hai ability also some new understanding, although Zhao Hai said that his ability does not have no aggressiveness, but can install under that many thing depending on him, with can provide that many Magic Radish this point, was very great.
Green immediately/on horseback nodded said : "Young Master feel relieved, I will arrange, protection good Young Master that Blockhead, Stone, from now on, one step leaves, I to go out several days, Merine, Meg, you favor these slaves, must make the Young Master arrangement in the shortest time the matter, heard clearly?" In this moment, Green demonstrated finally in a Great Noble family General Manager dignity and wrist|skill, in the shortest time what he arranged several to be most important, first was the Zhao Hai security, second was the key point of work, third bought the matter of radish to outside, moreover was very obvious, this third matter he wanted to manage. Merine they just listened silly, they have not thought really that the body of Zhao Hai really also has such secret, now was such shouted by Green, one recovers, has complied with one, Green then half step walking of outward. Zhao Hai looked at Green back one, nodded, it seems like Green is not does not understand, when he came Black Wasteland here before, reason that will squander money, possibly is that reason that because he guesses, to let Adam does not have money to spend, honest staying in here, but will look like he will not be being worried for this now.

Zhao Hai looked unable to prevent him, quickly said: "Merine Grandma, attains the kitchen this Magic Radish, prepared food with." Merine has complied with one, took up that half to enter the kitchen, but Meg stood Zhao Hai side, Blockhead and Stone station one on the left and other on the right Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looks at their appearances, cannot help but has smiled bitterly, he knows that now he said any Blockhead and Stone will not listen, these two fellows stubborn very much, they only listen to Green now, therefore he has not said anything, but turns the head to Meg said : "Meg, goes to take the point to me sub, I was a little thirsty." Meg complied with one, turn around walked toward the kitchen, when arrived at Zhao Hai behind, actually secretly looked at Zhao Hai one, this half step entered the kitchen.

Zhao Hai turns the head to Merine their said : "Merine Grandma, you also sit to eat, after finishing eating, your also has plenty matter must be done, did not need to accompany me." Merine nodded, this time she to has not refuted, because she also knows, after having eaten thing, their also has plenty matter must be done, therefore Meseng and Meg also took several breakfasts to the kitchen, had Stone to eat with Blockhead. Has the breakfast, Zhao Hai has not returned to the room, but to the first floor living room, sat in there is drinking sub, he knows after Green arranges all, certainly will come to look like him to report that therefore he has not worried.

For clients with neuro-psychiatric conditions such as Autism, PPD, Aspergers Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Horse Boy Method works using kinetics (movement) in environments that do not stress the child; using nature and social animals. It is always respectful of the client's current emotional state and needs.
Simply interacting with the beautiful, soulful horses can be profound in itself for the child. By coupling the experience with typical academic teachings, children retain the lessons they learn.
Animals, on their own, can naturally help us calm down, become more centered and stay in the moment. Riding on horseback naturally creates a rhythmic rocking motion of the hips. Science has proven that the rhythmic riding of a horse reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) in the brain and increases the flow of oxytocin (the feel good hormone). When oxytocin is flowing the brain receptors open up and learning is able to take place!
Horse Boy Method was pioneered by a charity in Texas. Therapy sessions are beneficial for physically challenged children as well.
Are you open to what horses can teach us through their innate instinct? At Heal With Horses, our job is to guide you out of your analytical thinking mind and into your heart. You will connect your heart to that of the horse's and the magic begins. Our horses will guide you to go deep inside yourself to find your own answers, your personal truth and your authenticity. Typically, the benefits begin by calming anxiety and depression, boosting self-esteem and confidence, and can end with a feeling of personal power!
Week-long day camps for children aged 5-12. Children receive riding lessons, play games, play with the small animals in the petting zoo, do crafts, swim in the pool, do nature walks. The ratio of children to facilitators is 2:1. Facilitators are trained and experienced in dealing with a variety of children's behavioral, physical and mental conditions.
If you cannot afford therapy lessons or summer camp, our generous donors subsidize the costs for families with special needs children who otherwise would not be able to access our therapy services. Contact us at 613-399-5952.
