Botanical name: Althea officinalis. The marshmallow plant thrives in wet areas and grows primarily in marshes. Originally from Europe, it now grows in the United States as well. The root and leaves are used medicinally.
Marshmallow has been used in connection with asthma, the common cold/sore throat, cough, Crohn's disease, diarrhea, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, abnormal pap smear, peptic ulcer, and ulcerative colitis.
Marshmallow (not to be confused with confectionery marshmallows) has long been used by herbalists to treat coughs and sore throats. Due to its high mucilage content, this plant is soothing to inflamed mucous membranes. Marshmallow is also used by herbalists to soothe chapped skin, chilblains (sores caused by exposure to cold), and minor wounds.
Active constituents: Mucilage, made up of large carbohydrate (sugar) molecules, is though to be the active constituent in marshmallow. This smooth, slippery substance is believed to soothe and protect irritated mucous membranes. Marshmallow has primarily been used as a traditional herbal soothing agent for conditions of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
The German Commission E monograph suggests 1 1/4 teaspoon (6 grams) of the root per day. Marshmallow can be made into a hot or cold water tea. Often 2–3 teaspoons (10–15 grams) of the root and/or leaves are used per cup (250 ml) of water. Generally, a full day's amount is steeped overnight when making a cold water tea, 6–9 teaspoons (30–45 grams) per three cups (750 ml) of water, or for fifteen to twenty minutes in hot water. Drink three to five cups (750–1250 ml) a day. Since the plant is so gooey, it does not combine well with other plants. Nevertheless, it can be found in some herbal cough syrups. Herbal extracts in capsules and tablets providing 5–6 grams of marshmallow per day can also be used, or it may be taken as a tincture—1–3 teaspoons (5–15 ml) three times daily.
Marshmallow is generally safe with only rare allergic reactions reported. At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with marshmallow.


Meek Mill added his own bars to his boss Rick Ross' Rich Forever single "Stay Schemin'" during his visit to Angie Martinez's radio show on Hot 97.
"I freestyle with my homies on the low. I'm bad when it comes to freestyling live," confessed the Philly MC, whose debut album is due this summer on Maybach Music Group.
The 24-year-old father also spoke about his eight-month-old baby. "You always gotta go home like once a week, make sure everything's straight," he said.
What do you think of Meek Mill's freestyle? Let us know.

RunUltra Articles – Spending time with the family at the Coastal Challenge
Last updated: 22-Mar-19
By Susie Chan
Love spending your time with the family? You might even run with them from time to time. How about spending six days in the humid jungle, scaling scorching ascents on fire roads and wading through miles of river with one of your parents? This year, at one of the most difficult multistage races in the world – The Costa Rica Coastal Challenge – I met a father and daughter who did just that.
The Costa Rica Coastal Challenge takes place along the hot western coastline, dipping in and out of the thick jungle and taking in the sweeping beauty of beaches and mountains along the way. Covering over 150 miles and 34,000ft of ascent in six days, it draws a strong elite field.
Amongst the runners toeing the start line this year were Bill Adsett, a 54-year-old engineer from Malvern, and 24-year-old daughter Jess Adsett, a job destination manager for an expedition company. The drop out rate at this race is quite high as it's an extremely challenging environment to run and live in day-on-day, but after each stage Bill and Jess crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces.
I had a chat with Jess after their race, as they became two of the few who achieved the coveted finishers medal.
Q. Whose idea was it to take part in the coastal challenge? And how did the other person respond?
A. Dad mentioned that he had seen the race and that he would like to do it in 2016 and I said that would be something I would also be interested in. I had travelled to Costa Rica in 2013 where I took part in a 3-week trek. I knew what a beautiful country it was and thought it would be a great opportunity to revisit and be able to show Dad as well.
The original plan was for Dad to do the expedition category and I would do the adventure (a shorter course at 130-150km), however before we signed up I decided that although it would be a bigger challenge it would be a more special experience if we were to do the expedition together. At that point I'm not entirely sure either of us were fully aware of what we had signed up to!
Q. Have you done anything like this before? Both the race & taking part in a challenge with your dad?
A. I've never done a multi stage race before but Dad did the MdS (Marathon des Sables) in 2014. He's also done a lot of challenges in his time to build up to this.
We have been on a lot of adventures together with the rest of the family (brother and mum) so from an early age me and my brother have both been given a taste of adventure and taught to be resilient. When we were about 8 and 6 our Dad would have us abseiling out of our attic much to Mum's surprise! We've also had many times where we have been on walks and have nearly been blown off mountains and then had frozen chicken sandwiches.
Dad also regularly organises what we call "Bill's Excellent Adventures" where he takes a group of friends and family out of their comfort zones – this has included bivvying in the mountains and sleeping in a tunnel for his birthday! These experiences have built a great foundation of adventure and setting us up for challenges such as the Coastal Challenge.
Q. You must get on really well, but it's a very tough race in harsh conditions, I've got to ask… where there any arguments?!
A. Surprisingly we didn't argue once! To be honest, when we were out on the trails there was not too much deep conversation, with us mainly chatting about which tree we would run to next or checking if the other was drinking and eating regularly. We both had pretty tough moments and it was great to be able to do it together and have each other to lean on and motivate each other to keep going. We always made sure that whenever one of us turned round to check on the other, we would have a smile on our face – even if sometimes that looked more like a grimace.
Q. What was your highlight of the race, and what about the toughest time?
A. We loved the varied terrain of the race, and how each corner you turned provided something a bit different. Day 4 in particular was a day that provided us with our biggest highlights and lowlights. The highlight was the twisting trails that took us over the hills with amazing views either side and we felt on top of the world. However, you can never appreciate joy unless you appreciate suffering and this day also had a very steep decent that really took it out of us.
The relief and happiness of finishing was also a pretty good moment – jumping into the ocean, grabbing two beers and sitting at the beach at the end knowing we didn't have to run the following day – pure joy!
Q. What's next for you and your dad? Any more challenges lined up?
A. At the moment we are just taking some time to let what we have achieved sink in. We both have little challenges lined up with a few triathlons and a few running races. We are planning future challenges and seeing what other adventures we can have!

Rainwater Harvesters Reap Bounty in Arid Tucson
Brad Lancaster describes the strip of vegetation beside the sidewalk outside his Tucson, Arizona home as "an orchard and a pharmacy." The desert ironwood tree has peanut flavored seeds and blooms that make a delicious salad garnish. Creosote is good for athlete's foot. Chuparosa has a red flower that tastes like cucumber. The barrel cactus's yellow fruit can be used for chutneys or hair conditioner. Mesquite pods make nutritious flour. And many more. Depending on the season, Lancaster gets 10 to 20 percent of his food from this sidewalk garden, and another in his yard.
Brad Lancaster, rainwater harvester
Lancaster grew up in the desert outside Tucson. He and his brother often played in the sand until, one day, the suburbs of nearby Tucson engulfed his neighborhood and there was no more desert to play in. Now, he's trying to integrate a desert playground into the city.
"We're trying to bring the desert into the urban core. Not a survival desert or desert of scarcity, but a thrival desert of abundance," he said.
By we, Lancaster means the Dunbar Spring neighborhood, home to about 900 people dispersed over six urban blocks in Tucson. Through rainwater harvesting, Dunbar Spring is reaping sustenance—both caloric and communal—from a landscape that others see as stingy.
Tucson, transformed
On July 11 of this year, Tucson ended a heat wave during with 39 consecutive days reached over 100°F, tying years 2005 and 1987 for the record. The highest temperature of 112°F was hit on mid-afternoon on June 29—just shy of being able to fry an egg on the sidewalk.
GAART hanging with Gregg Garfin of the University of Arizona's Institute of the Environment
Gregg Garfin, the Deputy Director of the University of Arizona's Institute of the Environment and a co-investigator on the Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) project, has been thinking a lot about heat extremes in Tucson. His most recent study, not yet published, projects that for the 2041-2070 period, Tucson will have on average 34 more days over 100°F—25 of those days will be over 110°F. (Currently, the average number of days per year over 100°F is around 60.)
When it comes to drought in Arizona, climatologists are finding that the 'new normal' of the future could be similar to the extremes of the past.
"The paleoclimate records show astonishingly long and severe droughts," Garfin, who launched his career in paleoclimatology (the study of historical global climate changes), said. Those records could now help Tucson "to be prepared for [drought] that may be beyond the realm of what we've experienced."
Over the last half century, average annual precipitation has decreased in most of Arizona. Tucson only gets about 12 inches of rain a year to begin with, most of it coming in the summer monsoon season. With climate change, annual precipitation is projected to decline further in the Southwest U.S., falling in more intense bursts.
A prickly pear cactus
"We don't get a lot of precipitation in the spring, but if you could imagine getting even less—that's the difference between a short fire season and a long one, the difference between people's desert-adapted plants surviving or not," Garfin said. "Adaptation is the name of the game right now."
And 'adaptation' is certainly the name of the rainwater harvesters' game—though they may not call it that.
Curbside bounty
Lancaster, tall with a head of unruly red hair that he keeps tamed under a wide-brim straw gardener's hat, is the ultimate rainwater harvester. In fact, he literally wrote the book on the topic. In addition to his bountiful gardens, Lancaster captures rain for his outdoor shower and his drinking water. The washing machine that he shares with his neighbors sends gray water to different desert trees around Lancaster's yard.
A curb cutout
And it all began one lazy Sunday. Brad Lancaster, his brother, and a few friends illegally cut out a strip of the curb in front of the Lancaster's house at 9th Avenue and University Boulevard. They wanted to see if they could capture rainwater runoff from the street and funnel it into their curbside garden. When it worked, they went to the City of Tucson to create a permit so that their neighbors could (legally) cut their curbs too.
The City not only got on board, they also improved the design by requiring a two-foot minimum pedestrian platform of sidewalk next to the cut curb, allowing people to stand next to the vegetation without sinking into the mulch. The city permit costs $45, but with the help of a $500,000 Pima County Reinvestment Grant, $100,000 of which went to water harvesting, and many Dunbar Spring residents now have water-harvesting curb cutouts and streetside basins. On some blocks, as many as 80 percent of residents now harvest water this way.
Dunbar Spring now harvests two acre-feet of rainwater (enough to cover two acres with a foot of water) per year. The curbside strategies are simple, but they represent a paradigm shift in how Dunbar Spring deals with rainwater.
80 percent of residents on this block now have curb cutouts that bring street runoff to sidewalk plants.
"It's insane that we're spending all these resources bringing inferior water to this place when we have a much higher quality, salt-free rainwater falling from the sky," Lancaster said. "What I find exciting about the potential [of rainwater harvesting] is the shift from conventional infrastructure—which is all about the drainage of resources—to harvesting and enhancing resources.
Many 'whys' to rainwater harvesting
The curb cutouts have many benefits: They reduce flooding, and therefore potholes. They help support a higher density of trees on the sidewalk, increasing shade canopy. They encourage people to get to know their neighbors, perhaps by trading prickly pear cacti fruit recipes.
A community bulletin board in Dunbar Spring includes a watershed map
"When we're harvesting our fruit, we're out here. So we're getting to know more of our neighbors," Lancaster said. "So you actually feel like you're in a community, not just a housing development."
And, though 'climate resilience' is not an explicit motivation for rainwater harvesting, it certainly does make life a little easier for desert plants during particularly dry years. For instance, though Dunbar Spring has received only half their usual rainfall this year, the curbside cutouts double to triple the amount of water running off the streets to plants. So, on some blocks in the neighborhood, it's as if rainfall is normal.
"These harvest strategies buffer the extremes—whatever the extremes are," Lancaster said.
The commons, reclaimed
Ultimately, Dunbar Spring's rainwater harvesting is about sustaining community. Historically the black neighborhood of Tucson, Dunbar Spring was named after the Dunbar school built in 1918. The school was desegregated in the 1950s, and Dunbar Spring is now very diverse, tittering on the edge of gentrification. Heat and water scarcity weren't always so much of a struggle. The neighborhood used to be so canopied that old-timers remember walking around barefoot in the shade. Those living just to the west of the Santa Cruz River would even dive into the water open-mouthed to get a taste of watercress along with a drink.
This statue by Tucson artist Joseph Lupiani depicts a horn lizard within a Sonora suckerfish.
Due to water diversions and withdrawals, the Santa Cruz River now runs dry except for after a few big rains. A few blocks from the parched riverbed is a symbolic statue of a horn lizard within a Sonora suckerfish. The horn lizard is so well-adapted to the desert, it harvests rainwater off its back.
"The sculpture is a reminder of what we've lost," Lancaster said.
Lancaster has bigger dreams for the neighborhood. He believes Dunbar Spring can easily harvest 20 times the runoff they're securing now. The average street in the neighborhood drains a million gallons of water per mile per year, enough to support a tree every 25 feet. By reducing 'hardscape' surfaces, less water is lost to runoff and evaporation. Plus, capturing water on-site reduces the need for pumping water from the aquifer, giving natural recharge a chance to catch up to extraction.
Many Dunbar Spring residents are open to trying new rainwater harvesting strategies, but community spirit itself is something that requires regular watering. The Pima County Reinvestment Grant, which provided some important community nourishment through artistic traffic circles that slow cars, a sidewalk chessboard and library, and a neighborhood bulletin board, is now spent. Lancaster was disheartened recently when he saw a neighbor put up a high fence around their property—to him, a sign of withdrawal.
"I think we've got a lot of change to go yet," Lancaster said. "I would like to see the default being that everyone's harvesting rainwater and growing a lot more food. It's really about trying to reclaim the commons for use of public land for people."

It excites me being able to share my knowledge, leaving a mark on students creative journey. My goal is to inspire people through teaching and get inspired by them.
Currently I am offering workshops in shibori, natural dyeing (including eco printing) and flax weaving. Teaching small groups (6 people max) ensures an optimal output for each student.
My workshops are a fun way to learn, enfolding students creativity, meeting like minded people in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Please in for my seasonal newsletter to receive information about workshops and other events here.
Learning the foundations of traditional flax weaving, students will gain a better understanding how Māori culture, protocol (tikanga) and weaving (raranga) are intertwined. They will learn basic techniques to complete baskets (kono and konae) mats and flowers. More advanced workshops include storage, dyeing and weaving kete(bags).
I am teaching a combination of the ancient Japanese art of shibori (resist dyeing) with natural dyes. Students learn how to make natural dye from leaves and barks, testing a variety of fabrics and applying this knowledge to create their own fabrics, using some traditional and modern shibori techniques.
I am teaching the bundle process, a direct contact method to make prints by drawing out pigments from plant material onto fabrics with the help of moisture and time. Students will learn about plants, fabrics, equipment and bundle techniques.
Felt workshops encompass the basics steps of making felt, different wet felting techniques such as nuno felting and three dimensional felting using resists.

Ripping Off Your Biggest Fans, Idol-Style
Filed to:Culture smash
Japan is expensive. Tokyo and Osaka consistently rank among the most expensive cities in the world. With the strong yen, Japan is even pricier for foreign visitors. It's no steal for nerds, either. It's highway robbery.
Geek mecca Akihabara has a bevy of maid cafes to tempt otaku with cutesy food. Popular dishes include "rice omelets" or "hot cakes", which are usually somewhere between ¥700 to ¥1,000 (US$9 to $13) at Akihabara maid cafes—well, ones staffed by dudes dressed as anime chicks. At normal restaurants, you can get a rice omelet—which is rice, eggs, and ketchup—for around ¥500 ($6.50)
Busy Next Month? Spend Time with Nightmare-Inducing Anime Chicks.
Maid cafes are a dime a dozen in Tokyo geek mecca Akihabara. They're totally normal. Cafe t.t.t.…
Portions, of course, aren't usually as generous as they are in the States.
AKB48, Japan's most popular idol group opened a pricey, new cafe in Akihabara last week. Rice omelets cost ¥1,480 ($19)—ditto for unappetizing pasta. The menu was drawn up by the AKB48 girls, something that costs patrons a premium.
Girl After Girl Throwing Themselves at You

The photos of the food don't look appetizing at all!
Anyone who's been to touristy theme restaurants in the U.S. or Europe can vouch for crazy high prices. The point usually isn't the food, but the experience.
(ニュースevery | NKT)
The cafe has a private room or "secret base", which is covered in doodles and signatures by AKB48 members. Fans can also doodle in a designated space on the wall. The room has AKB48 DVDs and magazines available for perusal. It costs ¥10,000 ($130) to rent the room for two hours.
In the top photo, Tomomi Itano scribbles her signature on the private room's wall.

You'd probably be better off at a regular old maid cafe. Then again, you might not be a hardcore AKB48 fan, willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for stacks of CD singles for the group's handshaking events.
The Moment You Know You Ain't Popular
Popularity is a fickle thing. Some people are loved, adored. Some are not. Most never become…
Apparently, around 200 people turned up when the cafe opened its doors.
Whether it be sports or idols, otaku fans are hardcore. They obsess and love things to bits. That shouldn't be a license to fleece them. Sadly, though, it is.
Culture Smash is a daily dose of things topical, interesting and sometimes even awesome—game related and beyond.

Talking bears. Talking pandas. Talking Marmots. Singing sheep. Singing Skittles. Singing babies. Dogs wearing hats. And a PuppyMonkeyBaby. Television viewers were the big winners as the 2016 Super Bowl TV spots were the best in years.
While it seemed a lot of advertisers played it safe with familiar music and celebrity endorsers, some took risks. Even Mountain Dew's PuppyMonkeyBaby, which may have been just plain too creepy for a lot of viewers, was no doubt hilarious to their target market.
Avocados From Mexico's spot was delightful and fresh: Aliens of the future tour a museum displaying "the bounty of Earth," including the "cube of Rubik," a "torture device" (a commercial airline cabin), and Scott Baio. The premise is fresh and jokes are great, and the ending on guacamole and chips does make you want their product.
This year's Doritos Sonogram Scenario was one of their best amateur ad challenge winners. Add to this the Doritos Dogs spot and Frito-Lay may have been the big advertising winner this year.
And, as this year's game was not a blow out and managed to stay close until late in the 4th quarter, viewership was most likely up. So the advertisers late in the game got great value for their discounted fourth quarter time slots.
The viewers win thanks to all this great television creative, not to mention the exciting game and spectacular half-time show.
Of course, at up to 5 million dollars for a :30 spot, CBS is the ultimate winner.

Daqin (chinês: 大秦; pinyin: Dàqín; Wade–Giles: Ta4-ch'in2; transliterações alternativas incluem Tachin, Tai-Ch'in) é o antigo nome chinês para o Império Romano ou, a depender do contexto, para o Oriente Próximo, especialmente a província romana da Síria. Esse nome significa literalmente "grande Qin", sendo Qin (chinês: 秦; pinyin: Qín; Wade–Giles: Ch'in2) o nome da dinastia fundadora do Império Chinês. O historiador John Foster o definiu como sendo "o Império Romano ou, melhor, aquela parte dele que era a conhecida pelos chineses, isto é, a Síria". Suas facetas básicas, a exemplo de leis, costumes, vestuário e moeda, foram explicadas em fontes chinesas. Para além disso, sua encarnação medieval foi descrita em histórias durante a dinastia Tang (618–907 d.C.) em diante como Fulin (chinês: 拂菻; pinyin: Fúlǐn), que Friedrich Hirth e outros estudiosos identificaram como se tratando do Império Bizantino. O termo Daqin também era comumente associado aos cristãos nestorianos de língua siríaca que viveram na China durante a dinastia Tang.

Fontes chinesas descrevem várias antigas embaixadas romanas chegando à China, o que começou em 166 d.C. e durou até o século III. Dizia-se que essas primeiras embaixadas chegavam por uma rota marítima, através do mar da China Meridional, à província chinesa de Jiaozhi (atual norte do Vietnã). Ademais, evidências arqueológicas, como moedas romanas, apontam para a presença de atividade comercial romana no Sudeste da Ásia. Embaixadas posteriormente registradas, as quais chegavam do Império Bizantino entre os séculos VII e XI, tomaram ostensivamente um caminho terrestre seguindo a Rota da Seda, à semelhança de outros . Há registros de gregos bizantinos presentes na corte de Cublai Cã (1260–1294), o governante mongol da dinastia Yuan em Cambalique (antigo nome de Pequim), ao passo que o imperador Hong-wu ( 1368–1398), fundador da dinastia Ming, enviou uma carta de correspondência ao imperador bizantino João V Paleólogo.

In re Gorilla, No. BK-09-02898-RJH (Bankr. D. Ariz. Feb. 20, 2009). Gorilla filed an adversary pleading in the bankruptcy case. Doc. 1, Gorilla v. Van Tassel, No. AP-09-00507-RJH (Bankr. D. Ariz. May 8, 2009). The adversary complaint alleges that Sharon Van Tassel, a former employee, misappropriated funds from one of Gorilla's whollyowned subsidiaries. Id. Dockets.Justia.com 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Van Tassel commenced this action by filing a motion to withdraw the reference from bankruptcy court. Doc. 1, Gorilla v. Van Tassel, No. CV-09-01327-PHX-DGC (D. Ariz. June 19, 2009). The Court denied that motion and a subsequent one filed by Defendants (Doc. 12) without prejudice. Docs. 11, 16. On August 17, 2010, Gorilla filed a notice of no objection to withdrawal of the reference and a request for a final pretrial conference. Doc. 17. Gorilla states that the bankruptcy court has issued its summary judgment rulings, that certain tort and other claims remain against Defendants (other than 13 Holdings, LLC), and that those claims are ready for a jury trial in this Court. Id. On September 16, 2010, this Court issued an order directing Defendants to file a response to Gorilla's notice. Doc. 18. Defendants filed the response (Doc. 19) and Gorilla replied (Doc. 20). Defendants concur in withdrawal of the reference as to the Van Tassels, 13, LLC, and 13 Holdings, LLC, and request a settlement conference. Doc. 19 at 4. Defendants Van Tassels and 13, LLC also ask the Court to rule on their objections to the bankruptcy court's denial of summary judgment and denial of a motion to compel discovery against third-party National Bank of Arizona. Id. at 2, 3. Defendants contend that they are entitled to de novo review on the summary judgment ruling and at least clear-error review on the discovery ruling. Id. Gorilla objects, arguing that the only means by which this Court can review the bankruptcy court's decisions is on appeal under Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 8001(b) and 8003. Doc. 20 at 3. The Court disagrees with Gorilla.1 Federal law allows bankruptcy courts to hear matters that are noncore but related to a title 11 case. 28 U.S.C. � 157(c)(1). Under � 157(c)(1), the district court shall consider the bankruptcy court's proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in entering a final order or judgment in such proceedings, and shall review de novo "those matters to which any party Gorilla cites In re Cutter, 398 B.R. 6, (9th Cir. BAP 2008), but there is no indication in Cutter that the two cases align procedurally. Because the procedural posture controls the method of review, compare 28 U.S.C. �� 157(b)(1) and (c)(2) with � 157(c)(1), Gorilla's argument is unpersuasive. -2- 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 has timely and specifically objected." Id. This Court previously deemed the adversary proceeding to be noncore and related to a title 11 case, and exercised its discretion under � 157(c)(1) and � 157(d) to continue the reference in bankruptcy court. Doc. 11 at 8, 9. Accordingly, the Court will review de novo the bankruptcy court decisions to which Defendants filed timely objections. IT IS ORDERED that reference of the adversary proceeding (Doc. 17) is withdrawn. The Parties shall appear at a status conference on November 9, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. The purpose of the status conference will be to discuss Defendants' request for a settlement conference, what if any briefing should be permitted on Defendants' objections, and scheduling of a final pretrial conference.

1. A very good morning to all of you. It gives me great pleasure to join you at today's 2nd Active Mobility Patrol Appreciation Day, to recognise the efforts and good work of the volunteers in our Active Mobility Patrol (or AMP in short).
2. Active mobility provides Singaporeans with options for a healthier lifestyle while getting to their destinations. Many Singaporeans walk, cycle or use personal mobility devices (PMDs) for shorter journeys, for example, from home to the nearest MRT station, bus interchange or shopping centre. What used to be too far to walk comfortably is now just a comfortable cycle away. Many commuters have also shared that walking and cycling are very good ways to incorporate some exercise into their daily routines, to achieve their daily 10,000 steps or their weekly 150 minutes of physical activity.
3. The government will continue to create a conducive environment for active mobility by enhancing our infrastructure. For example, we have completed over 200km of sheltered walkways to provide a more comfortable environment for walking. We will also continue to roll out more dedicated cycling paths and build a cycling network in every HDB town by 2030.
4. However, infrastructure alone is not enough to provide a quality active mobility experience. Often, our interactions with fellow commuters shape and define our commuting experience. Even as more commuters enjoy the benefits of active mobility devices, we have also seen a corresponding increase in conflicts and accidents occurring on our public paths between different path users.
5. We are aware that the most common suggested solution is to have dedicated paths for different users. Where possible, we will try to provide dedicated spaces for different types of path users – footpaths for pedestrians, cycling paths for active mobility device users. But this may not be possible everywhere. I think we can all agree that Singapore is a small country with limited space. Thus, the sharing of spaces is inevitable.
6. Given the limits of rules, regulations and physical infrastructure, we have to seriously consider how we can encourage pedestrians and active mobility users to share our paths graciously. Safe riding behaviour must become a social norm, such that it is second nature for cyclists and PMD riders to respect the safety of pedestrians and more vulnerable path users. Pedestrians also need to be aware of other path users, and tailor their behaviour accordingly. Everyone has a role to play in building a gracious path-sharing culture.
7. This is where you, our dear AMP volunteers, play a crucial role. It is often the friendly words of advice and gentle reminders that leave the greatest impression and positively influence a person's behaviour.
8. Since we set up the AMP scheme in 2016, we now have more than 1,000 volunteers from 62 teams taking the lead within their communities to shape a gracious and safer path sharing culture. This is an increase of 25% from the 800 AMP volunteers we had at the last AMP appreciation day in July 2017. Let me share some exemplary examples of what our AMP teams have done.
9. A key strength that community volunteers, like yourselves, possess is the ability to pool community resources and bring together diverse stakeholders. You are also in the best position to appreciate the unique ground conditions and riding patterns in your community. The Braddell Heights AMP team regularly organises outreach programmes to educate fellow residents on safe riding practices. They took the initiative to play the role of "Safe Riding Ambassadors" to constantly speak with and advise residents on safe path sharing behaviours. Over time, the team saw a marked improvement in how cyclists and PMD riders share paths safely with other path users in the Braddell Heights constituency.
bridge at the Sports Hub on Saturday mornings. Since April 2016, these volunteers have been tirelessly engaging cyclists and PMD riders to dismount and push their devices on the bridge, which is a pedestrian-only path. Their efforts were initially met with bewildered looks from pedestrians and riders; but as a result of the team's perseverance, more active mobility device users now dismount from their devices when approaching the bridge, thereby improving the safety of all path users.
11. As a testament to their efforts in proactively addressing issues within their community, both the Braddell Heights and Mountbatten AMP teams received the Municipal Services Award last year. Please join me in congratulating them once again.
12. I would also like to highlight the efforts of the Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru AMP team. Apart from their regular patrols, the team worked together with the Tanjong Pagar photography club to organise a "Scoot to Shoot" event, a photography competition in which photo enthusiasts scoot on PMDs to scenic locations to snap photos. The interesting part of this event is that participants had to first complete the Safe Riding Programme (or SRP for short) to ensure they are equipped with the skills and knowledge of how to keep themselves and others safe on public paths. Scoot to Shoot not only promotes safe riding, but also helps to demonstrate the benefits of active mobility in our lives. This is an excellent example of innovative ideas!
been doing very good work on the ground to catalyse positive change in their constituencies. I encourage all teams to continue these efforts, learn from one another, and spur one another on in your good work.
Safety Council to develop. The SRP aims to strengthen common understanding on how to ride safely and graciously. It is a 90-minute theory and practical programme that teaches active mobility device riders how to safely navigate different scenarios on public paths. We launched the SRP in February 2018 and the programme is free of charge for all participants in the first year.
participants from the community, schools and corporate organisations have completed the programme. More than 95% of participants found that the programme taught them how to ride safe and many enjoyed the practical segment which allowed them to practise safe riding behaviours in a circuit.
16. Riding on the positive take-up, I am pleased to announce that we will continue to offer the programme at a fully subsidised rate till end 2019. The SRP will continue to be an accessible resource that all can benefit from and I seek your continued support to participate in the programme and to promote it to those around you.
17. In closing, I would like to thank all AMP teams for the efforts and good work that you have put in the past year. Active mobility has become an integral part of our transport landscape and is a key component of a sustainable transport system in a liveable city. The government will continue to monitor the landscape and support the take up of active mobility, keeping public safety in mind. Such efforts will have to go hand-in-hand with continued educational efforts to promote the safe and gracious sharing of paths. This partnership with our AMP volunteers is important and I seek your continued support as we co-create a sustainable active mobility landscape in Singapore.
18. Thank you for spending your time with us, not just today at this morning's session, but even more for taking time in your daily lives to volunteer in your constituencies and make Singapore a better place. I wish you an enjoyable morning. Thank you.

Q: how can I disable everything inside a form using javascript/jquery? I have a form that pop up inside a layer, and I need to make everything inside that form read only regarding what type of input it is. Anyway to do so?

A: Old question, but nobody mentioned using css:
pointer-events: none;
Whole form becomes immune from click but also hovers.

A: This is quite simple in plain JavaScript and will work efficiently in all browsers that support read-only form inputs (which is pretty much all browsers released in the last decade):
var form = document.getElementById("your_form_id");
var elements = form.elements;
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
    elements[i].readOnly = true;
}

A: With HTML5 it's possible to disable all inputs contained using the <fieldset disabled /> attribute.

disabled:
If this Boolean attribute is set, the form controls that are its
  descendants, except descendants of its first optional
  element, are disabled, i.e., not editable. They won't received any
  browsing events, like mouse clicks or focus-related ones. Often
  browsers display such controls as gray.

Reference: MDC: fieldset

A: You can do this the easiest way by using jQuery. It will do this for all input, select and textarea elements (even if there are more than one in numbers of these types).
$("input, select, option, textarea", "#formid").prop('disabled',true);
or you can do this as well but this will disable all elements (only those elements on which it can be applied).
$("*", "#formid").prop('disabled',true);

disabled property can applies to following elements:

*

*button

*fieldset

*input

*optgroup

*option

*select

*textarea

But its upto you that what do you prefer to use.

A: Old question, but right now you can do it easily in pure javascript with an array method:
form = document.querySelector('form-selector');
Array.from(form.elements).forEach(formElement => formElement.disabled = true);

1) form.elements returns a collection with all the form controls (inputs, buttons, fieldsets, etc.) as an HTMLFormControlsCollection.
2) Array.from() turns the collection into an array object.
3) This allows us to use the array.forEach() method to iterate through all the items in the array...
4) ...and disable them with formElement.disabled = true.

A: You can use the :input selector, and do this:
$("#myForm :input").prop('readonly', true);

:input selects all <input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button> elements. Also the attribute is readonly, if you use disabled to the elements they won't be posted to the server, so choose which property you want based on that.

A: $("#formid input, #formid select").attr('disabled',true);

or to make it read-only:
$("#formid input, #formid select").attr('readonly',true);

A: Here is another pure JavaScript example that I used. Works fine without Array.from() as a NodeList has it's own forEach method.
document.querySelectorAll('#formID input, #formID select, #formID button, #formID textarea').forEach(elem => elem.disabled = true);

A: Its Pure Javascript :
var fields = document.getElementById("YOURDIVID").getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++)
{
    fields[i].disabled = true;
}

A: // get the reference to your form
// you may need to modify the following block of code, if you are not using ASP.NET forms
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
 theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}

// this code disables all form elements
var elements = theForm.elements;
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
 elements[i].disabled = true;
}

A: This one has never failed me and I did not see this approach on the other answers.

//disable inputs
$.each($("#yourForm").find("input, button, textarea, select"), function(index, value) {
  $(value).prop("disabled",true);
 });

A: disable the form by setting an attribute on it that disables interaction generally
<style>form[busy]{pointer-events:none;}</style>
<form>....</form>
<script>
function submitting(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    const form = this; // or event.target;
    // just in case...
    if(form.hasAttribute('busy')) return;
    // possibly do validation, etc... then disable if all good
    form.setAttribute('busy','');

    return fetch('/api/TODO', {/*TODO*/})
    .then(result=>{ 'TODO show success' return result; })
    .catch(error=>{ 'TODO show error info' return Promise.reject(error); })
    .finally(()=>{
        form.removeAttribute('busy');
    })
    ;
}
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('form')).forEach(form=>form.addEventListener('submit',submitting);
</script>

A: Javascript : Disable all form fields :
function disabledForm(){
  var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
    for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
        inputs[i].disabled = true;
    }
     var selects = document.getElementsByTagName("select");
     for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
         selects[i].disabled = true;
     }
    var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
    for (var i = 0; i < textareas.length; i++) {
        textareas[i].disabled = true;
    }
    var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName("button");
    for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
        buttons[i].disabled = true;
    }
}

To Enabled all fields of form see below code
function enableForm(){
      var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
        for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
            inputs[i].disabled = false;
        }
         var selects = document.getElementsByTagName("select");
         for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
             selects[i].disabled = false;
         }
        var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
        for (var i = 0; i < textareas.length; i++) {
            textareas[i].disabled = false;
        }
        var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName("button");
        for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
            buttons[i].disabled = false;
        }
    }

A: As the answer by Tim Down I suggest:
const FORM_ELEMENTS = document.getElementById('idelementhere').elements;
for (i = 0; i < FORM_ELEMENTS.length; i++) {
    FORM_ELEMENTS[i].disabled = true;
}

This will disable all elements inside a form.

A: Thanks Tim,
That was really helpful.
I have done a little tweaking when we have controls and we handle a event on them.
 var form = document.getElementById("form");
                var elements = form.elements;
                for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
                    elements[i].setAttribute("onmousedown", "");
                }

A: for what it is worth, knowing that this post is VERY old... This is NOT a read-only approach, but works for me. I use form.hidden = true.

The Spots
Taqueria Hoja
Mexican in Downtown
$$$$ 19 SE 2nd Ave #4
Open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining
I ordered takeout from Taqueria Hoja, a small taco spot in Downtown, and got flautas, a couple of burritos, and some tacos. While I was waiting for the flautas and burritos to warm up in the oven, I decided to go ahead and eat my koji sweet potato taco over the sink, which is always an appropriate place to eat a taco in my opinion. Never before had I been sadder to finish a taco, because it was outstanding - a little sweet and savory with an amazing morita sauce made from peanuts and almonds. I was furiously upset that I didn't order 17 of them, until I realized there was more food waiting for me in the oven. That stuff - which included crispy shrimp and potato flautas and a simple but delicious carne asada burrito - was also good enough to make me sad when it was gone. But thankfully, Taqueria Hoja will still be there next time my taco cravings hit. And you can bet I'm ordering at least three sweet potato tacos next time.
Cafe Kush
Burgers , French , Sandwiches in MiMo
$$$$ 7700 Biscayne Blvd
Open for indoor and outdoor dining
I have come to expect certain things from Kush Hospitality, the folks behind Lokal, Kush, Spillover, and Stephen's Deli. Among these things: excellent burgers, the option to order half sweet potato and half regular fries, and very fun bathrooms. The team's newest restaurant, Cafe Kush, delivers on all of the above - though the bathrooms aren't quite as fun as the Walter Mercado-themed one at Stephen's Deli. Located inside MiMo's Gold Dust Hotel, Cafe Kush has a slight French tilt to its menu, with new dishes like steak frites, croque monsieur, and ratatouille. There are also a couple of Kush classics, like the frita burger and collier county chicken sandwich. If you come here, ask for a table in the "riviera" seating, which is a little outdoor patio along a small canal where I have seen many manatees before.
Karli Evans
Itamae
Japanese , Latin , Peruvian in Design District
$$$$ 140 NE 39th St
Open for takeout and outdoor dining
When I heard Itamae, an excellent Nikkei spot that initially debuted in a Design District food hall, was going to open its own restaurant, I was way too excited. I probably checked their Instagram page on a weekly basis for updates. I even ended up interviewing Nando and Val Chang about the process of opening during a pandemic, which sounded like a planetary-size headache. But the new Itamae finally debuted in late November, and it exceeded my already-high expectations. The cebiche, tiraditos, and sushi rolls here are just as good - if not better - than I remembered. There are new things on the menu too, like torrejitas de choclo (fried corn fritters), an outstanding jasmine cream dessert, and a selection of natural wines, which you can enjoy while sitting outside in the Design District's Palm Court. After only a few weeks in business, I not only feel comfortable saying Itamae is one of the best new restaurants in Miami - but one of the best restaurants, period.
Rosie's
American , Sandwiches in Overtown
$$$$ 439 NW 4th Ave
Open for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining
Rosie's caught me off guard. It wasn't that I didn't expect it to be good, I just didn't expect it to be this good. I never really expect anything to be this good. Not even Nicole Kidman HBO dramas, and I love Nicole Kidman HBO dramas. The menu here (takeout-only at first) consists of Southern dishes like fried chicken and waffles and fish and grits. When I took my first bites of both of those things, my mouth sent a 4th of July fireworks finale to my brain. The restaurant started as a pop-up from Overtown's Copper Door B&B team, but since it opened, Rosie's has slowly become more of a permanent restaurant, with outdoor seating and an expanded menu. New dishes like wild mushroom polenta and rigatoni carbonara have appeared more recently, and while I haven't tried either yet, I have a feeling it's just going to be more brain fireworks when I do.
Merritt Smail
Sandwiches , Cafe/Bakery in Key Biscayne
$$$$ 19 Harbor Dr
I remember hearing about Flour & Weirdoughs, a new bakery in Key Biscayne, and people kept talking about their brisket croissant. "Brisket croissant?" I thought. "I'm not sure that's a good idea." Turns out, I was wrong. (This happens a lot.) The croissant was not, as I feared, a soggy, greasy mess. It was a delicate, savory little delight of a pastry - and I think I could eat about six of them in a row. The rest of the bakery is full of more pleasant surprises, like guava and cheese babka, huge cinnamon rolls, and a pan con lechon sandwich I thoroughly enjoyed. There are more things here I want to try, like their cacio e pepe sourdough loaf. I'm sure it's great too, because I will never doubt these bakers again.
American , Bar Food , Burgers in Downtown
$$$$ 151 E Flagler Street
Open for takeout, outdoor, and indoor dining
In a previous job, I actually interviewed Over Under's Brian Griffiths about the restaurant he planned to open in Downtown Miami. That was in August 2018. They finally opened this summer. And while Brian deserves a bathtub full of Advil for the construction headaches he no doubt had to put up with, I'm just glad this place is finally open, because it's everything I'd hoped for: an unpretentious spot perfect for a date, day drinking, or just any old Tuesday when you want a shot and a cheeseburger. The menu is small, but constantly changes, and that cheeseburger is in the running for one of the best burgers in Miami. The brunch here is fantastic too, with stuff like jackfruit chilaquiles and horchata french toast. Personally, I plan on consuming many shot/cheeseburger combos here for, I hope, years and years to come.

Drinking Pig BBQ
BBQ in North Miami
I got lost on my way to Drinking Pig, circling through a North Miami neighborhood I didn't really know and panicking that the barbecue I'd spent the last four days looking forward to was getting cold. At one point, I tried to roll down the window and smell the air like a bloodhound. It didn't work. Turns out, I was only one street away, and when I finally rolled up to the massive smoker parked at the end of a cul-de-sac, I assumed I was in the right place. Drinking Pig is a front yard barbecue pop-up (one of many great pop-ups I tried this year) run by Raheem Sealey, Mark Wint, and Yohanir Sandoval. On weekends, the crew serves barbecue brisket, pork and beef ribs, and chicken along with sides like mac and cheese, cornbread, and collard greens. Quite simply, it's some of the best barbecue I've ever had in South Florida - the kind where every bite requires a moment of reflection. You can place an order by DM'ing them on Instagram, and they also have a few picnic benches out front in case you also get anxious about your ribs getting cold.
United States Burger Service
Burgers in Little Haiti
$$$$ 8300 NE 2nd Ave
Open for takeout, delivery, outdoor, and indoor dining
I fell in love with USBS, like many people, at Boxelder, when I was about three beers deep. The Wynwood bar was known to host some outstanding food pop-ups in its backyard (El Bagel is also a Boxelder alum), so I swung by for drinks and to try the new cheeseburger in town. And what a cheeseburger it was: a homemade potato bun, perfectly seared double patties, and some kind of runny, beautiful cheese sauce they called "government cheese." When USBS finally got its own space inside The Citadel food hall in September, I was thrilled to discover that the burger I fell in love with still tasted the same, even zero beers deep. It's also now joined by a fantastic little fried chicken sandwich.
Cleveland Jennings
Lil' Laos
Laotian in Little Haiti
Right next to USBS, you'll find Lil' Laos. They used to be a pop-up too, bouncing from kitchen to kitchen with a menu of Laotian dishes. It was Sakhone Sayarath's attempt to introduce Miami to her native cuisine with her husband, Curtis Rhodes, doing the cooking. I had tried Lil' Laos before, but the food never tasted as good as it does now. I ordered a few things on my most recent visit: the sai krog muu (pork sausage), nam tod khao (crispy rice), and goong nam pa (shrimp ceviche). That sausage still makes appearances in my hunger-induced daydreams, as does the perfectly acidic ceviche, and crispy rice, which came mixed with chunks of spam. I plan on working my way through the rest of the menu (especially the Lao pho) as soon as possible.
Karina Rey
HaoChi Dumplings
Chinese in Little Havana
$$$$ 1547 SW 8th St
Ask me what Miami needs more of and I will say without hesitation, "dumplings." There are about three million other things on that list, but we don't have the time. This is about HaoChi Dumplings, because they are quite possibly the best dumplings you'll find in Miami right now. HaoChi is a pop-up that takes over Union Beer Store every Mon-Wed from 4-9pm, and the options include mushroom and leek; shrimp, cabbage and white miso; and pork, beef, and peanut gyoza. You should probably get all three versions - plus a bulgogi snow pea stir-fry. And obviously a beer too. They also have a wonderful Little Havana backyard patio where you can eat, complete with a wandering rooster.
Motek Cafe
Middle Eastern in Downtown
$$$$ 36 NE 1st St
I only got to try takeout from Motek, but that was enough to convince me that there was something special happening here. I ordered hummus tehina, a Jerusalem grilled cheese, and the arayes burger from the Downtown Israeli cafe. The hummus was perfect and the Jerusalem bagel grilled cheese - how could that be bad? My favorite thing I tried, though, was the arayes burger, which comes with four soft little pitas stuffed with beef and then grilled. I can't wait to go back for a proper sit-down dinner and try the shakshuka and crispy chicken schnitzel plate. It's also BYOB with no corkage fee right now.
El Bagel
Cafe/Bakery in MiMo
Open for takeout
I went to El Bagel the day after it opened. I knew it would be busy - people (myself included) had been waiting for this Miami bagel savior to arrive for months. But busy was an understatement. There was a line out the door and people had this wild look in their eyes, like they were there to see a band, not a bagel. When the lockdown hit, I worried if El Bagel could adjust to the new reality with such high demand. But the staff adapted and did so remarkably well. They now have an entirely to-go system, keeping the safety of their team and customers in mind. You just place an order online, get a text, and then drive to go pick up your phenomenal bagel sandwich, which, for me, is almost always an EB Original with scallion, bacon, and a roasted jalapeno. I know it sounds like a lot of work for a bagel, but they are outstanding bagels - crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and stuffed with perfectly cooked ingredients like Proper Sausage bacon, guava and potato sticks, and lox.
Ruben Cabrera
Tran An
Vietnamese in Little River
$$$$ 215 NE 82nd St
Tran An is a small Vietnamese restaurant in Little River and it's got an interior that I'm going to call, "infrared disco hunting lodge." It looks like a restaurant inside an upscale spaceship, with severed golden animal heads jutting from the walls and a bathroom that feels like a tiny nightclub. It's not all looks here, luckily. The food is good - especially the pho, which is so good I will happily eat it on a 90-degree day. Other things you might want to eat include banh mi, green papaya salad, and crispy pork and shrimp imperial rolls.
Oori Bake Shop
The pandemic lockdown saw the nationwide rise of the at-home pop-up, Miami included. Essentially, these were people making food in their own kitchens and running small-scale takeout operations from their homes. I tried a few great ones over the last few months, but Oori is still the one I think about most. Run by Helen Kim, Oori specializes in sourdough baked goods, and if I close my eyes and try, I can still smell Kim's everything charcoal rolls, still warm from the oven. Her shokupan and red bean and dark chocolate milk buns also now live in my head, where, about every week, they whisper "order me" into my subconscious.
Jaguar Sun
American , Pasta in Downtown
$$$$ 230 NE 4th St
Jaguar Sun is not a new restaurant. But it makes the Hit List because, over the last six months, it has felt like a new restaurant. Several new restaurants, actually. First, the small Downtown spot switched to takeout, with cocktails to-go and a brand new brunch menu. Next, they moved the entire restaurant to Lot 6 in Little Haiti - not exactly a space fit for a functioning restaurant - and made tacos. Then, just as they had figured that out, they pivoted yet again to become an outdoor steakhouse, making perfect martinis and beautiful dry-aged ribeyes under the Miami sky on weekends only. What will they be six months from now? No idea. But with the team here, I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
Da Lida
$$$$ 1035 N Miami
Pasta is the reason you should come to Da Lida, the pop-up currently operating downtown at Fooq's. It's very good - and if you are one of those pasta people who owns bucatini bedsheets and gets light headed at the very mention of the words "al dente," then make a reservation. They serve linguini with Dungeness crab, rigatoni pomodoro, bucatini amatriciana, and rigatoni bolognese. My great dinner here consisted of both rigatoni dishes, anchovies and toast, and a bottle of orange wine. And afterward, I briefly considered becoming a pasta person.
Mr. Mandolin
Greek in MiMo
Open for takeout, delivery, outdoor dining
I was quite sad to hear that Gregory's, a very promising restaurant, was closing during quarantine. But there was a silver lining: the team opened up a new place, Mr. Mandolin. It's the sister restaurant to Buena Vista's Mandolin Aegean Bistro, and they also serve really good Greek food - things like gyros, kebabs, savory pies, hummus, and the warm tahini bun that we think about no less than six times per day. Mr. Mandolin is very takeout-friendly, so it's great for a casual dinner in or for those nights when you can't get a table at the other Mandolin.
Dan Kocsis
Buya Izakaya + Yakitori
Japanese in Wynwood
$$$$ 250 NW 24th St
I accidentally ordered way too much food the last time I went to Buya, a new Japanese restaurant in Wynwood. I was hungry and some of the yakitori dishes were a little larger than I anticipated. But this is one of those restaurants where ordering too much food is kind of a good thing. The grilled chicken meatballs, miso-glazed quail, and yellowtail snapper skewers are all good enough to eat even if you reached "full" seven bites ago. But the best thing I had here was the tempura beech mushroom, a big crispy mushroom that comes sitting on top of a great "Tokyo ranch" sauce.

One year ago this week, a new home that sold for $599,000 was the highest-priced home sold in Woodlawn. The upper end has risen by over $100,000 since then.
Two new homes in the Woodlawn neighborhood have each sold for over $700,000 in recent weeks, setting a new record price for homes sold in the neighborhood.
The two houses are in a row of four on the 6100 block of South Ellis Avenue. The one at the far right in the photo sold for a little more than $708,000 in late February. Next to it is one that sold for slightly over $707,000 in mid-January.
Could Obama library lift Woodlawn's housing market?
The third house went for $699,000 in February, and the fourth, farthest left, is under contract to a buyer, according to Midwest Real Estate Data. Each house is about 3,200 square feet inside.
The upper price in Woodlawn has been rising fast. A year ago this week, a house that sold for $599,000 was the highest-priced sale in the neighborhood. Since that time, a total of six Woodlawn houses, including the three on Ellis, have sold for $625,000 or more.
Other than these homes, in the past six months a couple of Woodlawn homes have sold in the $480,000 range, and most have sold for $250,000 or less, according to Midwest Real Estate Data.
The four Ellis Avenue houses, less than a block south of the University of Chicago campus, were built by Greenline Homes, a 20-year-old firm that specializes in eco-friendly homes, and MK Construction and Builders. One factor in their prices, Greenline principal Benjamin Van Horne wrote in an email, is that "our houses are unique, in that they are super-insulated, LEED certified, ultra-comfortable, all-electric homes with rooftops full of solar panels (enough to provide 70 percent of projected energy use)."
Plans to build the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park on the eastern edge of Woodlawn have led to real estate speculation. Van Horne wrote that while "the Obama Center is a confidence multiplier, most of our plans in the neighborhood were initiated prior to the announcement that [it] would be built on the South Side of Chicago. Woodlawn was a very attractive neighborhood with a strong future even before the location of the Center was announced."
Van Horne has been building in Woodlawn for a decade. His firm also has a smaller model, about 2,100 square feet, that sells for between $390,000 and $480,000 depending on the location, he wrote. Greenline has two complete, two under construction and 11 more planned. On homes of this size, he said, the solar panels can provide 100 percent of the expected energy use.
Of the nine homes Greenline has sold in Woodlawn in the past few years, according to Van Horne, five of the buyers moved from Hyde Park or Kenwood, which are more expensive neighborhoods north of the university.
The Ellis Avenue site has proven so successful, Van Horne wrote, that in the spring he plans to start two more on the same block, with prices starting at $749,000.
All of the over-$625,000 sales in Woodlawn that were not Greenline homes were the work of Project Inspire, which is also building contemporary-styled homes. The highest-priced sale by Project Inspire is just under $685,000, which buyers paid in late February for a 3,000-square-foot, five-bedroom house a block south of the Greenline quartet.
Bill Williams, the principal of KMW Communities, which is building the Project Inspire homes, was not available for comment.

Library offers a walk through time for Black History Month
The Dothan Houston County Library is displaying the Long March exhibit featuring political cartoons from the Civil Rights era.
By Jayla Johnson
Published: Feb. 2, 2022 at 7:13 PM CST
DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - The Dothan Houston County Library is offering a walk through time for Black History Month.
The main branch of the library is displaying the Long March exhibit from the Herb Block Foundation featuring political cartoons from the Civil Rights era.
The exhibit displays the work of legendary Washington Post editorial cartoonist Herbert L. Block, famously known as "Herblock."
The library says the exhibit tries to take the critical moments from that time period and describe them in a subtle way invoking many thoughts, which is their goal during this month.
"It's extremely important for us as the library to give visibility to people and organizations who are creating change, and for us to celebrate the triumphs and also shed light onto the adversities of Black Americans throughout history," says Ashley Bynum, adult programming specialist with Dothan Houston County Library System.
The exhibit will be on display until March 1. The library will offer more Black history programs and tributes throughout the month.

Why did Sacramento Police Officers shot an unarmed Black man 20 times?
Carma Henry
By Victor Ochieng
The family of Stephen Clark, 22, is mourning the death of the young man after Sacramento police shot him dead. The police explained that they shot Clark 20 times because they suspected that he was carrying a weapon.
Reporting the case on Twitter, Shaun King, using the Black Lives Matter hashtag, wrote, "First the @SacPolice said they shot and killed 22-year-old #StephonClark and denied him any first aid because he had a gun. Then, they finally said he didn't actually have a gun, but a crowbar. Now, they admit it wasn't a gun or a crowbar, but HIS CELLPHONE." And where was the young man shot? Shaun answered that in the tweet, saying, "IN HIS OWN BACKYARD."
Friends, family, and activists are asking the police why they had to shoot the unarmed Black man 20 times, yet he wasn't armed and was in his grandparent's backyard.
According to the police, Clark was on Sunday night seen breaking at least three vehicle windows, leading to a search for him. In addition to the car windows, Sheriff's deputies also said officers in a helicopter spotted the young man break into a neighbor's glass door.
Two officers went after him and he ran to his grandparent's backyard. Cops said he declined to obey orders to stop and show his hands. He then, charged towards the officers with an object extending out of his hand, the department said. Believing that the young man was pointing a gun at them, they opened fire on him, fearing for their own lives, the department explained.
Some five minutes after he was shot, officers proceeded to search him only to find out that he was not armed except that he had a cellphone, which they discovered near his lifeless body, the department revealed.
"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time in his own backyard?" Clark's grandmother, Sequita Thompson, told The Sacramento Bee. "C'mon now, they didn't have to do that."
The police didn't immediately release information on how many shots were fired at the young man and they refused to release any details until the victim's relatives were notified. The department pointed out that the two officers involved in the shooting have been with them for two years and four years, and that each one of them had at least four years of previous experience with the law enforcement.
Both were put on administrative leave.
The family said Clark is succeeded by his two sons, one and three-years-old.
Black Lives Matter is taking the matter seriously and have termed it police murder. They've fronted some tough questions to the police and they vowed not to rest until they get answers

T H E H I S T O R Y O F K R E S Y
Province (Wojewódstwo) Nowogródek
ZOFIA SZYMAN (GÓRSKA)
OSADA ADAMPOL
Community (Gmina) Niechniewicze
District (Powiat) Nowogródek
My father, a soldier in Piłsudski's First Brigade, and his wife Anna, née Gryglik Górska, my mum, were natives of Łomża. They came to the eastern part of Poland in 1921, when my father was given a plot of land in the Adampol settlement in the Niechniewicze municipality. It was a plot which came from the division of the Zaolesze estate. I don't remember the size. The meadow was far from home, in a very picturesque basin of the Niemen River. Children had to be deserving for Father to take them on a haymaking trip. It was almost like a holiday at the seaside today. Unforgettable colourful flowers and the smell of dried hay stay with me forever. The big plus of our settlement was that there was a hostel for orphan boys. It was a rather large red brick building, three storeys high, with its own dynamo which produced electricity for the lighting. It was surrounded by a large orchard which was leased by the Jews during the season, and where we used to go to get apples through the holes in the high fence, even though we had enough apples in our own orchard. Fond memories from our "puppy" years.
Next door was a smaller, white two-storey house where the teachers' training school was located. As far as I can remember it was no longer in use under the new school system. I know from my parents' stories that some of the settlers had lived there before they were able to provide themselves with a roof over their heads, and it was there, at the end of 1922, that I was born as the first daughter. There were four of us at home; my brother was three years younger than me; my sister Wandzia was five years younger, and my sister Irenka was 14 years younger. I know from my mother's stories and from my own observations, that life and farming in the village was very hard. But a few good years before the war, things were almost good. We already had a nice big house, which after we left for Siberia, the Belarusians turned into a village hall. The house that my parents built in their early years on the plot of land also remains in my memory. It was a long building, half of which was living space, and the other half was stables and pigsties. I remember clouds of flies, for which even toadstools did not help much.
In the aforementioned hostel, there was also a four-grade public school, which was also attended by the settlers' children. It was not too far away, but in the winter, the children had to be accompanied or driven through the snow-covered fields. In the summer we went alone. The seven-grade school was in Niechniewicze, 6 km away. It was a small town with a church, an administrative centre, a co-operative, a dairy, fire brigade, and a local Farmers' Wives Association. Just outside the town, in a nice semicircle, stretched the nearest neighbouring settlement, Niechniewicze, where my school friend of later years, Stefa Wdowczyk (married name Kacperek) lived - now a member of our circle - "Ognisko". There was also an agricultural college in Niechniewicze. I remember that when I went to school in Niechniewicze, our class went there for drawing lessons. We had to draw some tools. As I had no talent for drawing, I asked a friend from the village, Maniuś Garstka, who drew and painted beautifully, to draw for me, but he refused. I then drew a rake by myself, which the whole class laughed about later. The aforementioned friend later studied at the Technical School in Vilnius, and I think the war caught up with him there.
I must add that it was a long way to school in Niechniewicze - 6 km. We also had to pass through a Belarusian village called Popławy, probably because a stream (sometimes deep) flowed through it, in which we caught tadpoles on our way to school. In the winter our dad would take us, but in the summer, we had to walk alone, which nowadays seems unlikely. Today, neighbours would certainly report child abuse to the police. What's more, after returning from school, we had to help our parents by herding cows or harvesting crops.
I also don't remember my parents going out anywhere except to church, name days, or christenings, which were popular in the settlement.
Father had his newspaper "Rolnik Wielkopolski" sent to him which he used to read in his spare moments; these were rare even on Sundays. In the summer, an expedition to the nearby forest was a great pastime with benefits because you could pick mushrooms or berries.
If you were eligible to continue your secondary school education, you would have to leave your family home and live in a dormitory in Nowogródek. Several boys from our settlement studied at the Trade School in Wilno.
Since my parents were building the above-mentioned house, and having a very hard time financially, I continued to attend the seventh grade, but later I and two other friends, Janka Sobieraj, from the Kossowo settlement, and Stefcia Wdowczyk, were sent to the vocational school in Iszczołna. Graduates of this school were future kindergarten teachers or heads of housewives' circles.
It was a long way to my family home. It was a long train journey through Nowojelna and Lida, and then by horse cart to the school, which was on the Lida-Szczuczyn (Nowogródek) route. We lived in the boarding house there, and I still remember how difficult the first months were without home and family. Later, when we were older, coming back by train for holidays was sometimes a pleasant adventure. Unfortunately, the war interrupted our unfinished education. By mid-September, the Russians were already in the settlement. The settlers shared the fate of their friends - arrests, imprisonment, deportation to Archangielsk in gods wagons. Separation from loved ones, often death. Finally, in 1942, we left Russia, free, and arrived in Iran and beyond.
Thirty settlers who had come from different parts of Poland lived in a very remote area of the settlement. Some came with their wives - others married local girls who spoke Belarusian. I don't remember the names of all the settlers, but our neighbours were Michał Szunejko, and his brother Władysław; on the other side: Czekirski, with whose children we went to school, and the childless Mr Dobrowolski.
