Bentley Labs Signs 125,000-SF Build-to-Suit Deal
EDISON, NJ-The cosmetic products maker will move its headquarters operations to a new Summit Associates-owned building within Raritan Center. The company is currently based in Mahwah.
By Eric Peterson | May 14, 2005 at 10:04 PM
EDISON, NJ-Bentley Labs LLC has signed a long-term, build-to-suit lease for a total of 125,000 sf of mixed-use space at 111 Fieldcrest Ave. here. The site is located within Raritan Center.
Summit Associates, the locally based property owner and one of the landlords within multi-owner Raritan Center, is set to launch construction of the facility, which will rise on a five-acre site. Matthew Seltzer of Cushman & Wakefield of New Jersey Inc. arranged the deal on behalf of the cosmetic products formulator and manufacturer. Summit Associates was represented in-house. The terms of the signing and the price tag for the new facility were not disclosed.
For Bentley Labs, which makes a variety of skin care, hair care, fragrance and related liquid-fill products, as well as over-the-counter drug products, the move is an expansion. The company will move its headquarters to Raritan Center from its current location at 200 Corporate Dr. in Mahwah.
The new facility will encompass a combination of administrative offices for the company, as well as laboratories, production and warehouse space, according to Brian T. Fitzpatrick, Bentley Labs' president and chief executive officer. "We plan to occupy the new space in the first quarter of 2006," according to Fitzpatrick.
"The Middlesex County market offers great real estate fundamentals, including transportation infrastructure and labor pool," Seltzer says. "These factors have contributed to a low 4.7% vacancy rate in the industrial market, as well as to extraordinary demand for space."
Affordable Housing Collections Rebound in December
Collections for public housing reached 97% of 2019 rates, and affordable housing reached 83%—the highest level for the latter class since June.

Quentin Tarantino is back with another delight for us on the big screen – Django Unchained. Elysium Magazine are fans of Tarantino's previous creations but what can we expect from his latest instalment Read on to find out.
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz.
Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation.
Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave.
The trailer gives us a good teaser of what we can expect from the movie. A number of critics have given the movie the thumbs up and Will.i.am has tweeted his delight at the movie – stating it was the best movie he had seen in years! Slightly different from the tweets from director Spike Lee who wrote:
"American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
Foxx was soon defending the movie as well as Tarantino, telling the Los Angeles Times in December: "Quentin has an affinity for writing horrible things, and then making you laugh,"
"He's making entertainment. Hopefully, it makes you go ask questions and you Google it. If you want to learn something from a movie, go watch a documentary."
It is a Quentin Tarantino movie so we do expect controversy – let us know what you think about the movie on Twitter. We can't wait to get our popcorn on!

Give users a way to submit feedback about the site. This will help users feel like the issues they experienced can and will be fixed and it also provides you with opportunities to learn about your site's usability issues so they can be fixed.
Speaker 1: Another interesting tip and trick that I like to sometimes recommend to folks is just about what happens when somebody reaches your site and they really don't understand. I look in your help system and I can't figure out something there. I'm looking on the page. I'm doing different things and I want to submit some kind of feedback because I either have an idea or I really want to lodge a complaint or whatever it might be, but overall what happens is SharePoint doesn't really give us a great way to sit there and say without open up our email, sending out something to administrator to give feedback, provide ideas, as a person goes through.
A lot of time that in contextual feedback can be very good because people may forget about things or not have all of the information about some of the information they want to give. One of the great things, especially if you're just initially rolling it out to a lot of people and a lot of new processes is do something simple. Now in this area right here we've actually just added this simple icon over here in the corner. You click that and that actually goes to a submit feedback form, which you can very easily do that. Now obviously this was used for something else so you probably wouldn't put the gender of the user to submitting feedback, but overall it's just something very simple, something quick that you can do, but add a lot of power. This could then generate an email or an alert or go to a list, which is stored and then administrators check it whatever it might be, but it gives not only the user the ability to provide feedback, but it also gives users some involvement and sees that they can actually do something helpful.

The Edu$hyster ring in Michigan
Utica Community Schools, as the second largest district in Michigan, has always been a leader in education. Students have always had a high rate of success. In comparison to districts across the nation, Utica has always been financially healthy. Utica has been a wealth of potential for multiple facets of education, art and culture and many of those programs have been decimated to cater to the special interest of profiteers and politicians.
School Board President Carol Klenow
Carol Klenow, who is the School Board President of Utica Community Schools, hired Christine Johns, a graduate of the unaccredited Broad Academy, to serve as the Superintendent of Utica Community Schools. Klenow was also appointed by the Governor to be on the State Officers Compensation Commission which determines the compensation, benefits and expense accounts of the Governor's Officers including all state officers and legislators. These officials and representatives are some of the highest paid in Michigan's legislative history. Recently, Governor Rick Synder also certified Utica Community Schools Board President Klenow as an Emergency Financial Manager. This gives Klenow the power to close schools at will as was seen in Detroit under the rule of Broad graduate Bob Bobb when he served as Emergency Financial Manager of Detroit Public Schools.
Both the state legislature and the governor are pushing for an increase in online virtual learning academies. Records also indicate that Carol Klenow is the Program Administrator of a virtual learning academy that was rewarded a pilot by the Governor. While Klenow built her virtual learning academy, Utica Community Schools began a major curriculum overhaul and created classroom populations that are much larger than surrounding districts.
After Utica Community Schools began eliminating a number of classes from their curriculum, Klenow's virtual academy indicated that they would offer many of the courses that had been cut from the curriculum.
Currently, Klenow's Oakland County Learning Academy Consortium is offered in every Southeast Michigan County with the exception of Macomb County which includes Utica Community Schools. However, she stands to inherit a huge financial windfall if Governor Snyder's Oxford Foundation legislation is implemented across Michigan. The Oxford Foundation will allow for students from any school district across Michigan to attend Klenow's virtual learning academy. Under the proposed legislation, many of the nearly 30,000 students in Utica Community Schools can opt-out of Utica Schools and attend the Klenow's operation that caters to home-schooled children. Along with Carol Klenow, the Calvert Educational Services Company will profit greatly by developing all the curriculum of Klenow's Oakland County Virtual Learning Academy Consortium.
Superintendent Christine Johns
During her tenure as Superintendent, Johns has dismantled many successful district programs and terminated positions, only to rehire them to third-party companies such as the online learning company Dreambox and Discovery Education which offers digital textbooks and online teacher "assessment services". All at a high price. With the continued destruction of educational opportunities in Utica, many students will seek alternatives. Utica Community Schools, as the second largest district in Michigan, has always been a leader in education. Students have always had a high rate of success. In comparison to districts across the nation, Utica has always been financially healthy. Utica has been a wealth of potential for multiple facets of education, art and culture and many of those programs have been decimated to cater to the special interest of profiteers and politicians.
The Broad trained superintendent was hired with the goal of destroying successful educational opportunities and replacing those with opportunities that will benefit private interests. Christine Johns is one of the most highly compensated Superintendents across the state. Carol Klenow, who hired Superintendent Johns, will directly profit by running the Oakland County Virtual Learning Academy Consortium.
Digital Promise Executive Director Adam Frankel
Digital Promise/League of Innovative Schools will profit mightily from adding Utica to its consortium of districts making a bid for Race to the Top funding. Digital Promise was started by Obama's former speechwriter, Adam Frankel, who has ties to the Obama administration and is well connected in DC. The director of Digital Promise, Sara Schapiro, was until recently a consultant for Pearson.
So much money, so little time.
The Governor, State Legislature and other state government executives profit from Carol Klenow determining their compensation. Private companies, such as Calvert Educational Services, profit as more students with tax-payers' dollars are enrolled in their company's curriculum thanks to state legislators lifting the cap on cyber schools. Many individuals will profit while education methods, as offered by the Oakland County Virtual Learning Academy Consortium and Digital Promise remain untested and unproven, destroying many of the opportunities for students across Michigan.

Q: why data not pass correctly codeigniter model I'm using codeigniter framework. In that model file i want to get count of answer , not answer.etc. my model like this.
     function daily_report() {
     $user = $this->session->userdata['id'];
      $date = $this->input->post('sdate');

      $sql="SELECT count(cl.`C_ansornot`) as bb, u.`E_name`

        var_dump($query2);
         return  $return_array;

         }

}

the model file not pass data correctly...
 when i check i result like this...

the data display like this .

A: I find a lot of problems here but to answer your question the reason why you are seeing all that as a result is because you are not processing your query. You're just assigning those SELECT strings to the array.
However, the main problem is your code in general. Your code is not optimal and you are doing unnecessary queries. This is not only visually bad, but performance will be very slow with this structure. You should always try, if possible, to let MYSQL do the work for you. I would redo your SQL using SUM and CASE as such:
SELECT
  u.E_name,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'answer' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) answer,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'not answer' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) notAnswer,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Not Reachable' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) NotReachable,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Rejected' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) Rejected,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Switched Off' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) SwitchedOff,
  sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Wrong Number/Invalid Number' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) WrongNumber,
  count(*) total
FROM `calls` as cl
JOIN `user` as u on u.idEmployee= cl.idEmployee
WHERE cl.idEmployee = $user_id

Then build your model method like this:
function daily_report() {
    $user_id = $this->session->userdata('id');
    $date = $this->input->post('sdate');

    $select = "u.E_name,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'answer' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) answer,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'not answer' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) notAnswer,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Not Reachable' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) NotReachable,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Rejected' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) Rejected,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Switched Off' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) SwitchedOff,
               sum(case when cl.C_ansornot = 'Wrong Number/Invalid Number' and cl.C_date='$date' then 1 else 0 end) WrongNumber,
               count(*) total";

    $this->db->select($select, false);
    $this->db->from("calls cl");
    $this->db->join("user u", "u.idEmployee= cl.idEmployee");
    $this->db->where("cl.idEmployee", $user_id);
    $query = $this->db->get();
    return $query->result();

Lo-Fi-Fnk (произнася се лоу-фай-фънк) е шведско инди/електронно дуо съставено от Лео "Оля" Друйе и Аугуст "Бени" Хелшинг и базирано в Стокхолм.

История
Lo-Fi-Fnk е сформирано като група през 2001, когато Лео Друйе и Аугуст Хелшинг се запознават в гимназията. Обединяват усилията си, за да създават музиката, която най-силно им е повлияла. Първоначално основно се занимават със създаването на танцувална музика, впечатлени от динамичното развитие на електронната музика в родната им Швеция. Още през 2002 издават първото си EP озаглавено "We Is" и издадено от звукозаписната компания La Vida Locash, с която са подписали договор малко преди това.

През 2004 излиза сингълът "Unighted", който бързо привлича вниманието на музикалната критика и почитатели. Песента демонстрира по-добра вокална и инструментална техника и бързо се превръща в хит в Швеция. Групата е канена да вземе участие в различни местни фестивали, най-големия сред които Hultsfredsfestivalen. Дуото свири на живо и по най-голямото шведско радио P3.

През 2005 излиза второто EP на Lo-Fi-Fnk "(...And the JFG?)". Три от шестте песни включени в този мини-албум са пускани редовно по шведските национални радио станции, а самото EP популяризира дуото в цяла Европа. Впоследствие групата има над 30 участия в различни части на Стария континент, а техни песни са включени в множество компилации.

На следващата година е издаден първият студиен албум "Boylife", който първоначално излиза в Швеция, а в следващите месеци в Скандивия и цяла Европа. Това е и първият техен продукт, който е издаден и в САЩ, след което дуото има кратко турне в Щатите. От албума са синглите "Change Channel" и "Wake Up".

Attention revelers: it's time to set your parade plans
Valley Review staff
The temperatures dipped below 20 and the snow looks like it's here to stay.
It's finally safe to broach the topic: Christmas is coming and it's time to start thinking about those parades.
It's a time of cold curbs and warm hearts. It's a time to enjoy the holiday music and hope the tuba player's lips don't freeze to his instrument.
Appleton's big kickoff to the holiday season is less than three weeks away. It's the 49th year for the Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade.
Upwards of 80,000 people are expected to crowd the College Avenue sidewalks on Nov. 26. Another 100,000 are expected to tune in for the live telecast on WFRV Channel 5.
This year's theme is "That Holiday Feeling!"
Longtime parade committee members Greg Otis and Harvey Samson will serve as this year's marshals.
Otis retired last year after 33 years as chairman of the Christmas Parade. He's been part of more than 200 Appleton parades including Memorial Day and Flag Day parades.
Samson recently stepped down from his role as assistant chairman of the committee, a position he held for 38 years.
Thrivent Federal Credit Union's sixth annual "Thrivent Cans Hunger" food drive will take place during the parade. Spectators are asked to bring canned goods, which can be handed to the team as they head down College Avenue just prior to the parade.
The parade will begins at State Street and College Avenue at 7 p.m. It will travel east on College Avenue to Drew Street. It follows the Santa Scamper, which starts at 6:40 p.m.
Appleton's parade is the largest night-time Christmas parade in the Midwest.

The Green Bay Holiday Parade will take place at 10 a.m. on Nov. 23 with the route starting at Jefferson and Stuart streets. Santa and his reindeer will be available for pictures outside the YWCA once the parade is done.
Light Up Fremont takes place on Nov. 30. It includes a parade along Wolf River Drive at 4:30 p.m. followed by a tree lighting. Afterwards, head to Village Hall for soup, hot dogs, hot cocoa and cookies.
The Clintonville Christmas Parade will be held on Dec. 2 along Main Street at 6 p.m.
The Little Chute Christmas Parade will take place on Dec. 2 along its Main Street at 6:30 p.m.

Q: Using overloaded operators on this instance (this) within a class method I am writing a class for a 2D Vector and need to do a dot product.
I have overloaded the * operator to do this, but when it comes time to perform this * this it gives me an error:

public:
    Vector2(float _x, float _y) {

The correct code is therefore (*this) * (*this).


Last Thursday, McDivitt Law Firm celebrated Bring Your Kids to Work Day with a lot of fun activities and learning experiences. McDivitt was excited to again host such a wonderful event, with this year's theme being the Pixar movie, Inside Out. As part of the day, McDivitt planned many activities for the children to participate in, including "Fun Time with Joy," which the kids had a blast doing. During the morning portion the kids received a tour of the firm and spent time with their parent or adult sponsor learning a little bit about the firm.
Then later in the day, the older kids participated in a Mock Trial. This year's trial was Mr. Cloud v. Bing Bong. Mr. Cloud was suing Bing Bong for injuries he alleged Bing Bong caused during a visit to Cloudtown. The children were split into two teams—Plaintiff and Defendant, where they got to ask questions of Mr. Cloud, Bing Bong and the witnesses Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. At the conclusion of this year's trial, the Judge ruled in favor of the Defendant, Bing Bong.
And this year, David McDivitt's daughter was finally old enough to join her dad and grandfather for Bring Your Kids to Work Day. She also really enjoyed the day along with all the other kids.
Thank you to all the Team Members who put the event together and participated, including our amazing Inside Out cast! We couldn't have pulled off the day without you all.


Dunston Hall offers great style, comfort and relaxation in addition to a 6179-yard, par 71, USPGA-rated Golf course which beautifully contours around the estate.
Magnificent parkland fairways dotted with trees and strategically placed bunkers add to the course's character. Before you hit the course, take time to loosen up in our 22-bay driving range. This is golf at its best.

Former police officer arrested over murder
By Stan Lee | February 26, 2009, Thursday | Print Edition
A FORMER senior police officer in Hainan Province has been arrested for allegedly murdering his mistress on Tuesday.
The suspect, surnamed Cen, had served as director of Government Offices Administration in Hainan's Ding'an County and was once vice director of the county's public security bureau, Hainan Special Zone Daily reported yesterday.
The body of a young woman was discovered at the reservoir in Ding'an at about 10am on January 6.
The victim was later identified as Chen, Cen's mistress.
Cen had met the woman in 2003 in a hotel where she was a waitress.
She became his mistress in 2004 and had a daughter by him in 2006. Cen bought her an apartment in Haikou, the provincial capital, but the pair were said to have had frequent arguments.
The 47-year-old Cen was married and had a son in college, and he is said to have confessed to police that he had planned to kill Chen to stop her disrupting his life and career. He is alleged to have enlisted the help of a friend called Xu.
Xu was sitting in the back seat of Cen's car when, it is alleged, he used his right hand to strangle Chen, who was sitting in the front, next to Cen.
They drove to the reservoir, where Cen is said to have asked Xu to hold a belt around Chen's neck before they dumped the body in the reservoir in a bag weighed down with cement.
A forensic report said Chen died of strangulation. Both Cen and Xu were arrested.

Teenager charged with a terrorism offence
Publish date: Monday, 25 April 2016, Publish time: 4:16pm
This is a joint media release with NSW Police.
Officers from the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) have charged a 16-year-old male with a terrorism offence that police will allege was linked to ANZAC commemorations.
The teenager was arrested yesterday near his Auburn home following an investigation by officers attached to Operation Vianden.
He was taken to Auburn Police Station, where he was charged with one count of Acts in preparation for, or planning, a Terrorist Act, contrary to Section 101.6 of the Criminal Code (Cth). This offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said JCTT officers were forced to act yesterday afternoon in order to ensure public safety.
"Clearly we have taken swift action to ensure community safety on the eve of a sacred day on the Australian calendar," Commissioner Scipione said.
"I want to assure the NSW community that our counter terrorism capability is such that we were able to move quickly to prevent harm.
"The age of the individual is obviously a concern for us, and it remains a measure of the ongoing task facing law enforcement and the community.
"ANZAC Day should be observed by all in our community free from fear and I would encourage everyone to enjoy this special day," he said.
AFP State Manager Sydney Office, Commander Chris Sheehan, said family and friends are vital when it comes to connecting with those young people who may be susceptible to carry out criminal acts that attract significant penalties.
"A cohesive society and social inclusion is critical in driving a counter-narrative to extremist ideology," he said.
"Yesterday's activity is another example of the effectiveness of the cooperative nature of the JCTT. We will disrupt to ensure the safety of the community, and follow that up with thorough investigations to identify criminal behavior.
"In Australia and around the world, the age of people radicalised is getting younger, with online grooming tactics similar to those used by sexual predators," he said.
The 16-year-old was bail refused and will appear in a children's court today (Monday April 25 2016).

A new and never before game mode setup, starting out with not 100 people (no respawn). The disco right at the bottom left of the map is a quit loud place, you can't hear people going in and out due to the music. What if it had its own game mode, more details will follow. A start is expanding the disco and area around it in order to have that play area. Two teams one inside the other outside. Player count will depend on how bigger the disco gets the bigger the more players. The two teams starts the game by looting normally they have 6 minutes to loot until the storm moves in, then 10 minutes to fight as the storm moves in. (Outside team drops from the Battle Bus to start looting, inside team should know when they have dropped down).
Inside team can't go outside as the doors do not open, outside team has to break in to enter.
Anything inside and outside can be destroyed to gain Matts but only the disco building's outside walls cannot be destroyed. (Only the outside team can destroy the build's outside walls but it has the biggest health).
Outside team destroys the power supply to the disco to stop the music from the outside obviously (emergency lights are lit), inside team will know when it's being destroyed. (This has a tactical approach to it; outside team will have to break in strategic ways).
no revives players are eliminated right away.
The more people destroying the power the faster it gets destroyed.
The inside team can set up traps and position themselves to prepare to defend.
The tactical approach to this new game mode is the whole purpose of it. The outside team has to go in to kill the inside team while the inside team defends themselves it's a matter of offence and defence.
The whole purpose of destroying the power supply is to really show how important the sound of footsteps, gunfire, and pickaxe destruction is.
The purpose of when to destroy the power supply is how and when the outside team will start their attack, they can go in before destroying (smart and quiet way), or they can go in after destroying the power supply (the loud and dumb way). It's a matter of the amount of people going in to attack, if it's the smart way the team will need to have some teammates destroying the power and most in the attack, but if it's the loud and dumb way they will have almost the whole team attacking and just one or two destroying the power. (Will take longer to destroy but just enough time before they are shown their position).
This was an idea make right on the spot, it started out of an idea of why doesn't Epic make us be able to stop the music somehow then ideas came up with this whole detail game mode. This is for sure something different for Fortnite and depending on its consideration and how much the disco will be expanded will make the game mode still feel like Fortnite, expanding the building to the point of still being able to build something would make the difference to the fortnite building vibe.

OE-0029 - Aug 2018
Operation Finger Lakes Rescue
OE-0029 - August 2018 - SAF 1 - North America - USA - New York
In August 2018, a persistently wet weather pattern culminated in major flash flooding on the shores of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in western New York after some areas received as much as 9 inches of rain in 12 hours. There was severe damage to property and infrastructure, including major damage to homes in the area. Damage on the ground limited the mobility of local responders and an immediate need existed for first aid supplies and protective gear for recovery workers. Following the successful beta tests of the model in Florida (Hurricane Irma) and Puerto Rico (Hurricane Maria), Operation Endeavor joined with Wings of Michael S.A.R. for the inaugural Airborne Reconnaissance deployment of the Ground Zero Recon (GZR) service line to deliver relief supplies and conduct aerial reconnaissance of the flooded areas. A dual-pilot team of OE/WOMSAR leaders departed MSV in Sullivan County, NY in a PA-28 151 Piper Warrior and flew through still unstable and evolving weather patterns to the affected area where they captured aerial imagery of the damage as requested by the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on the ground. Following a landing at Ovid Airport (D82), a small local airfield, the team transitioned to the EOC where they delivered nearly 200 pounds of much needed supplies. The aerial imagery was shared with EOC staff who were able to more accurately deploy resources to areas they had not yet been able to assess from the ground. The mission was a great success and affirmed the power of the GZR model of providing accurate, credible, and time-critical information from the epicenters of disaster areas utilizing airborne resources.

Do not speed using your day. If you hurry through stuff and make mistakes, it is going to take you significantly longer to correct all those blunders than it might have for you to do it appropriate the 1st time. Gradual and cautious job may well be more productive than rushed, sloppy function.
When you have an extremely large job that you are currently facing, break it up into smaller sized parts. Generate a list of precisely what it may need to have the task accomplished. Upon having a list to work alongside, make use of the due date and make up a calendar that includes what you must get carried out daily to make certain it is actually carried out in time.
Don't wait for last second to have some thing carried out if you realise oneself constantly associated with schedule. For instance, if you abruptly recall an important process that has to be taken care of just before 5 nowadays, you won't be able to get everything else accomplished! Steer clear of as being a servant to work deadlines and control time much more intelligently.
Do away with distractions. Things that distract it is possible to cause you to pay attention to them as an alternative to what you need to work on. If the television set is on and you are seeing it rather than doing what you need to do, transform it off of and work with your task.
However it is far from typically trained in class, effective time management is among individuals subjects which nobody should be without a thorough being familiar with. Knowing how to make best use of each hr for each working day is really a particular approach to direct a more happy, much more beneficial daily life. The guidelines and assistance previously mentioned offer a fantastic place to start.


Looking forward to your "live" postings.
I'm all ready, at least I hope so:eek:, as I leave for the airport in three and a half hours. Should be in San Diego before noon Pacific time! Going to try and get a couple of hours sleep but not sure that will happen.

Hay 2012: Dannie Abse
Goodbye Twentieth Century
Introducing the now 89-year-old Dannie Abse CBE, whose newly 'bang-up-to-date' autobiography Goodbye Twentieth Century is the 32nd and latest title in the Library of Wales, series editor Dai Smith cuts to the chase. Holding up a copy of The Western Mail, which he claims to have sneaked in 'past the Telegraph's spies', he quotes the story on the back page – about Cardiff City's change of shirt colour from blue to red – and says to Abse, a lifelong City fan: 'What the hell do you make of that?'
'It's an existentialist problem,' says Abse, 'but I'm sure I'll get used to it, just as I had to get used to the move from Ninian Park to the new stadium.' It is a light-hearted moment – football is certainly cast into its true level of importance by some of what Smith calls 'the miseries and tragedies' that have blighted Abse's life in recent years – but it does hint at something about the way the world has changed over the near-century course of Abse's lifetime.
The reprint of Abse's novel Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve made him the first living author in the Library of Wales' 'dead cast' and the two men continue the discussion with an exploration of autobiography and fiction. Many readers thought that Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve was thinly veiled autobiography – including Abse's own mother, who began to believe an incident in the book, in which Uncle Bertie gets into a fight, had really happened. Abse had totally invented it, but the use of real people's names and the Cardiff in which he had grown up blurred the lines. Reading from his own Afterword, Abse cites a quotation from the Chinese painter Liaozhai – 'it's hard to paint a horse but damnably easy to paint a ghost' – as evidence that 'critics are more comfortable with the novel or play or poem that disguises autobiography' than autobiography itself. It sounds like, Abse maintains, 'a very narcissistic exercise'.
But in the case of Dannie Abse it is a very worthwhile one. Abse was a firsthand witness to the political tensions of the 1930s, watching his brother Leo take to the soapbox; he did his medical training in London, living among many refugees from Europe – including Elias Canetti – in Aberdare Gardens, Swiss Cottage; he met Dylan Thomas around this time; the house next door to his was bombed during the war. But Abse's autobiography pivots on two tragedies: one universal, the other personal.
'Auschwitz made me more of a Jew than Moses ever did,' says Abse, a Welshman by birth and temperament but 'a Jew as long as there's one anti-Semite alive.' There is a quiet but heartfelt murmur of assent from the marquee. Abse must be fairly unique in his upbringing; as a small child, when his mother wasn't speaking English, he was never sure whether she had gone back into Welsh or Yiddish; she spoke both. 'I'm ap Dafydd but also of David,' says Abse simply.
Abse's keen awareness – as a British Jew born in 1923 – of 'survivor guilt' was also brought into sharp, tragic focus by the death of his wife Joan, in a car accident in 2005. Bravely, Abse has not only written about the trauma and his grief in poetry and prose, but revisits the section of his autobiography here, reading about personal tragedy in front of a public audience.
For so many reasons, Dannie Abse is a remarkable writer and a remarkable man. We in Wales are lucky to count him as one of our own.

For Spring Summer 2019, Veronica Etro cast a net along the edges of the Pacific and returned with a collection richly inspired by the languid ease of coastal paradise. Starting with the lure of California surf culture: the sport-minded and sun-kissed freedom of Venice Beach's bohemian tribes. We move towards the postcard perfect landscape of Hawaii, where each sunset is worth writing home about and the natural landscape - seashells, hibiscus flowers, palm fronds - provide all the accessories you could ever dream of. The journey continues on Japan, where inspiration is mined from the country's denim culture, sport history and finely perfected graphic traditions. But like the ocean's tides, the borders between influences do not stand stable, mixing with Etro's emblematic design codes: Paisley, patchwork and customarily rigorous construction. The result is a collection that is joyous, free and effortlessly Etro.
Materials this season are built for oxygen seekers but maintain their luxurious standards. Workwear inspired jeans and long robes are a patchwork of patterned jacquard denim. Slim-fitting knit suits and minidresses masquerade as wetsuits, not to be mistaken for actual neoprene used on colorful bolero jackets. Craft- inspired crochet and macramé creates mini dresses and patchwork knitwear. Embroidered cotton is so finely wrought on matching trouser and shirt sets it appears lace-like. Quilted kimono-style robes and terrycloth- lined short sleeved cotton coats are the apex of casual cool. A mini beaded cotton shirt dress features a funky raffia-fringed hem. Etro's signature dresses in crêpe de chine, georgette and pekin silk are a mix of pattern and pop: ruffled tiers, plissé skirts, patchwork motifs, delicate embroidery and contrasting patterned ribbons provide their ecstatic decoration.
Beginning with saturated shades of indigo and coral, the collection melts into a riot of pale citrus colors - lemon, lime, tangerine, grapefruit - before circling back to black, white and cream. Prints are as easygoing as the beach-worshipping girls that inspired them, featuring blown up technicolor Paisley motifs, Matisse- inspired cut outs, Japanese calligraphy, tropical florals, bandana patterns and Ikat-inspired designs. Tropical sunset scenes - an homage to blooming Hawaiian shirts - are found on printed shirts and silk trousers or embroidered on mini jacquard wrap dresses.
Silhouettes are loose and free, while maintaining elements of structure. Judo style jackets are belted at the waist with long cotton bows. Fluttering silk dresses are finished with drawstrings at the wrist and waist for comfortable complexity. Trousers are wide and soft with room to move, run or chill; billowing kaftans practically float on the body and slouchy shantung silk suits give a hint of 1970s glamour.
The Etro woman this season comes equipped: sun shaded in a wide brimmed cotton hat finished with a net, holding a Paisley patterned surf board in her arms, wearing scuba booties on her feet, also worn by international surfer Victoria Vergara, ranked as one of the top ten of the world and Maribel Koucke. Her jewelery is sourced from the sea: with crystal encrusted seashells hanging from her ears and ringing her neck. Etro's iconic rainbow bag comes embroidered with a braided strap, while slouchy carryalls feature thick rope closures. Japanese- inspired quilted thong sandals and wide Obi belts round out the look, an ode to all women inspired by waves.

Lenders: To Preserve Affordable Housing, Manage Climate Risk
Cross-posted from NRDC Blog
Lower-income renters face significantly greater challenges from weather-related disasters than their wealthier counterparts, as the New York Times recently illustrated in reporting the stories of Ruth Ortiz, Brenda Jones, Vanessa Wharton, and other Texas residents living in rental housing when Hurricane Harvey hit two years ago. Unfortunately, the article is part of a disturbingly large body of work demonstrating how recovery funding favors financially better-off homeowners. This system needs to change to equally prioritize recovery funding for renters and homeowners (not to mention changes needed to provide timely support to homeowners).
Given the current prioritization of homeowners in post-disaster recovery, there is an urgent need for increased investment in pre-disaster preparedness in rental housing. This will reduce the amount of recovery resources required later on and help ensure that we are not losing valuable affordable housing units due to negligence in managing climate impacts.
The housing development and finance sectors are enormous, complicated industries that have only just started to respond to this issue.
On the housing finance side, three things need to happen:
First, affordable housing lenders must understand how climate change threatens their financial and mission-related performance.
Second, they must understand the options for mitigating those climate-related risks, including energy efficiency and other resilience measures.
And third, they must determine how to adjust their internal processes to integrate climate risk management into their lending.
Fortunately, climate-resilient affordable housing is a hot topic at this week's convening of community development financial institutions (CDFIs) hosted by Opportunity Finance Network, their national association. CDFIs are mission-driven private financial institutions that make investments in underserved people and communities.
One resource informing a climate resilience roundtable at the CDFI convening is a new discussion brief: Why Multifamily Affordable Housing Lenders Must Manage Climate Risks, and How to Start. The brief was developed by a climate resilience financing working group that was convened through the Sustainability in Affordable Housing Lender Learning Network, which is part of the Energy Efficiency for All initiative.
The discussion brief defines climate resilience; explains why it is critical to everyone with interests in real estate and particularly for those with an interest is preserving affordable multifamily housing; and proposes initial steps for how the multifamily sector can shift from a focus on post-disaster action to investing in proactive, pre-disaster resilience.
What does climate resilience mean for affordable housing?
Broadly defined, resilience is "the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience." As one aspect of this broader definition, climate resilience in the housing sector refers to the ability of homes to remain functional or recover quickly after a hurricane, wildfire, or other climate-related disruption.
Strategies for bolstering climate resilience in the housing sector include emergency preparedness planning from the regional level down to the single building level, building neighborhood-level green infrastructure such as rain gardens, updating processes for designing and building new properties, and upgrading individual existing properties to be more resilient.
Affordable housing lenders have a particularly important role to play in ensuring that new and existing properties they finance are built or upgraded to be climate-resilient. This means, for example, that critical equipment is elevated so as to be protected from flooding, moisture-resistant and healthy building materials are used to reduce the growth of mold after water exposure, and the property is as energy- and water-efficient as possible so as to be livable for longer when utility service is down.
Why should affordable housing lenders manage climate risks?
As mission-driven financiers, many CDFIs provide funding for high-quality and affordable housing. And they are recognizing that climate change is threatening to roll back progress they have made in building and preserving that housing. Some have seen residents forced to evacuate from damaged properties after natural disasters. Those properties need to be repaired, demanding time and resources that must be diverted from other opportunities.
The increasingly frequent and extreme natural disasters associated with climate change also threaten community development financiers' ability to operate in the future. A reason being, for example, that a borrower with a housing property may struggle to pay back a loan if they are spending money on rebuilding while not receiving rental income because tenants have been evacuated. Given the thin operating margins on which most affordable housing properties operate, one disaster can financially devastate a property, leaving it in disrepair or to be turned into more expensive housing.
As the climate crisis continues to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, those with financial interests in affordable housing assets ignore at their peril the potential financial consequences of climate change on their portfolios.
Fortunately, significant progress has been made in mobilizing the resources available to increase the energy and water efficiency of multifamily affordable housing properties. Taxpayer- and utility customer-funded efficiency programs, such as those advocated for by Energy Efficiency for All, enhance the climate resilience of participating properties. Programs that expand access to renewable energy and energy storage do as well. The more these programs can extend support to non-efficiency or renewables resilience measures, the better.
Public and private entities such as Enterprise Community Partners, Center for Neighborhood Technology, New Ecology Inc., Precovery Labs, DNV GL, local agencies such as the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment, and federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are already supporting communities' resilience planning and implementation.
Public resources are needed to support these efforts. But public dollars alone will not suffice. We need structural change in the housing finance industry to sufficiently manage climate risks. Bellwether Enterprise, one of the nation's largest commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders, is on the vanguard of climate risk management. It has brought together individuals from various divisions into an internal Climate Risk Mitigation Working Group. Other housing lenders can establish their own such groups and connect with other organizations taking action by joining the Multifamily Climate Resilience Finance Working Group.
Climate-resilient multifamily housing properties benefit tenants and property owners as well as its lenders and investors. But they can also serve as pillars in a community's overall system of social and physical infrastructure by maintaining operations and affordability through unpredictable shocks and stresses. Mission-driven affordable housing lenders and property owners must take climate risk into account to continue providing stability and opportunity to communities. The time is now to understand and manage climate risks to this critical sector.

School Beehive Serves As Ecological, Religious Tool
By Chaz Muth
Librarian Sundi Pierce holds up a blanket display May 24 from The Bee Cause Project, the group that helped provide the observational beehive behind her, located in the library at St. John Fisher School in Portland, Ore. (CNS photo/Chaz Muth)
PORTLAND, Ore. (CNS) – It's not unusual for kindergartners to fear bees, but the little ones at St. John Fisher School in Portland flock to a buzzing hive in their school's library to get a close look at the flying creatures with stingers.
One by one, the uniform-clad Catholic school young'uns climb up on a chair and press their hands on the plexiglass window that separates them from thousands of honeybees that are busy creating a honeycomb.
"It's hot," said one girl whose blond ringlets swayed as she turned to face Sundi Pierce, the school's librarian and custodian of the observational beehive, on a Thursday morning in late May.
"That's right," Pierce told the young towhead. "Those bees are really busy and the harder they work, the hotter it gets in there."
Earlier this year, St. John Fisher became the first Catholic school in Oregon to partner with The Bee Cause Project, an organization that has helped provide 300 educational facilities in 50 states and four countries with observational hives that also deliver an ecological need.
Ecologists have been concerned about the decreasing population of honeybees for at least a decade and a 2017 U.S. Department of Agriculture report showed a 40 percent decrease in colonies from 2015 to 2016, caused by Colony Collapse Disorder, a sudden loss of a colony's worker bee population.
Continued loss of honeybee populations would be disastrous for the world's ecosystem, scientists have warned.
More Than a Novelty
The 3,000-plus buzzing bees are more than a novelty at St. John Fisher. They serve as a learning tool for subjects in science and religion, said Merrit Holub, the school's principal.
The science part is obvious, because students can see directly how the bees reproduce, contribute to the food supply by transferring pollination, and make honey and beeswax.
But the bees also represents religious symbols, Holub told Catholic News Service. For instance, the Catholic Church views the honeybee as a model for "Our Lady," because of its good working habits. St. Augustus encouraged monks to use the caste worker bee as a model for their vow of chastity, and beekeeping has been a centuries-long tradition in religious orders, providing the community with wax for chapel candles and honey for industry.
Even Bishop James D. Conley of Lincoln, Neb., is a noted beekeeper, an interest he has fostered since college.
"St. Valentine is the patron saint of (beekeepers), so we kicked off our observation hive study on Valentine's Day," Holub said.
The bees were donated to the school by Costa Oro International, a Portland coffee bean distributor. The connection to the school comes through the owner and founder, Arianna Hartstrom, a parent of students at St. John Fisher.
Taking the Lesson Home
"What I'm hoping is that children go home after the experience of seeing the bees, removing the fear (from) the equation of honeybees just by learning how important they are," Hartstrom told CNS, "and educating their parents and other friends and family who they interact with on buying organic, not using pesticides, planting bee-friendly plants in their backyard, and really understanding the impact that honeybees are responsible for a third of every bite of food that we take."
The fear of bees has definitely waned among the St. John Fisher student body, said Marian Dolan, the parent of children who attend the school.
"Their view of the bee has changed," Dolan said. "They're not afraid of (the hive), they are curious."
The Bee Cause Project is trying to engage the younger generation in its mission to save bees and secure the ecosystem.
The honeybee colony at St. John Fisher resembles observational hivesthat have been installed at other schools. The hive is contained in a wood and plexiglass box and the pollinating bees fly out of the building through a hole in the building behind the library wall and return later with nectar, Holub said.
Because the hive has generated so much excitement among the St. John Fisher students, the school library is suddenly a very popular spot in the school, which thrills librarian Pierce.
"I couldn't 'bee' happier," she said with a knowing smile, "that the library is now the place to 'bee.'"
