HHS Share /'Dia-besties' manage their type 1 diabetes together
Ainsley and Julia became best friends after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a week part when they were five. Now age 11, they support each other and share how they manage their disease.
'Dia-besties' manage their type 1 diabetes together
Like most kindergarten kids, classmates Julia and Ainsley were learning their ABCs and 123s. But the five-year-old girls were also introduced to the world of science and nutrition at this very young age, after being diagnosed one week apart with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
T1D is an autoimmune insulin deficiency that prevents the body from producing insulin on its own, or very little of it. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body turn food into energy, and regulate blood sugar levels. An individual with T1D must intake insulin via injection or insulin pump in order to survive.
Working with their parents and McMaster Children's Hospital (MCH) health-care teams, the girls — now 11 years old and good friends — have learned how to keep on top of their sugar levels, calculate carbohydrates, and give themselves insulin. When it comes to managing their disease, they love the support of having a 'dia-bestie' with the same diagnosis.
Diagnosed a week apart
Ainsley and Julia have quick access to their blood sugar tracking, an important part of diabetes management.
When Julia was five years old, she was losing weight and always very thirsty. After a visit to her family doctor, test results showed she had high blood sugar, a sign of diabetes. Shortly after receiving care at MCH, she started feeling better.
When Ainsley was also five, she was so thirsty at night that she would wake up crying from discomfort. Her family doctor administered a simple urine test, and results immediately showed glucose in her urine; a sign of T1D. She was sent to MCH for further care.
"I called the school to let them know Ainsley's situation and how she was going to be away for a few days, and they told me another parent made the same phone call shortly before me," says Kate Adams, Ainsley's mom.
The pair were diagnosed a week apart, and were both in the same junior kindergarten class at Spring Valley Elementary School in Ancaster. Shortly after, the two kids and their moms became close friends, embarking together on the same journey. Julia and Ainsley are still at the same school, now in Grade 6 but in different classes this year.
"It gives an incredible peace of mind to have someone who understands the day-to-day challenges. You problem solve together," — Kate Adams, Ainsley's mom.
How to manage T1D in children
Dr. Ereny Bassilious, pediatric endocrinologist at McMaster Children's Hospital, works with both Julia and Ainsley.
Children with type 1 diabetes manage the disease with insulin that's administered by injection or infused via insulin pump into the bloodstream continuously and increased before every meal and major snack. They need to check and monitor their blood sugar levels frequently as well to keep insulin and glucose balanced. This can be done through finger pokes or other new sensor technologies. High blood sugar can lead to a rapid heartbeat, vision problems and other symptoms. And too much insulin can lead to low blood sugar causing shakiness, disorientation or even loss of consciousness.
"They have to think about so many different things," says Dr. Ereny Bassilious, a pediatric endocrinologist at MCH who works with both girls. "It is difficult as a young child with T1D because of the complexity of it. There are so many steps that go into managing diabetes such as checking sugar, counting carbohydrates, calculating insulin dose, and administering the insulin."
Using technology to make life easier
A newer technology known as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) happens through a device worn on the body that tracks blood glucose (sugar) levels every few minutes throughout the day and night. These readings are sent to the patient, caregiver, or health-care provider via a digital device for fast and accurate readings, minimizing the need for finger pokes.
Ainsley shows how her glucose monitor sends her blood sugar levels to her phone. They go to her mom's phone as well.
Both Ainsley and Julia use a CGM system that tracks blood sugar levels and sends frequent readings to a paired smart device. It allows for both moms to also pair their phones to the device and monitor their daughters' sugars while they are at school.
"CGM technology allows the patient and caregivers to monitor blood sugars continuously, to observe trends, and to be able to act on a high or low blood sugar in a timely way," says Dr. Bassilious.
"A caregiver of a young active child with diabetes can make over 100 treatment decisions a day," — Sarah Fairfield, Julia's mom.
Instead of frequent needles, many young people may choose to use an insulin pump, which is a clear little tube that administers insulin to the body when told to, and is attached to them at all times.
Both girls use a sensor to continuously track glucose levels.
For their insulin, both Ainsley and Julia use a pump, eliminating the need for multiple daily injections. Base insulin deliveries are programmed into the pump by their health care team. Insulin delivery for meals or for correction of high blood sugars is delivered when the child or their caregiver enters a blood sugar or carb amount into the pump.
"There are lots of elements involved in diabetes management," says Bassilious. "With young children, we strongly recommend a partnership between health-care providers and parents, before slowly transitioning over to the child doing things on their own."
MCH cares for about 665 young patients with diabetes. Along with a treating physician, there is a whole team that helps families with learning about the disease and how to manage it. The team consists of a diabetes nurse, dietitian, child life specialist, and social worker.
A confidant, mother, and friend
"As a parent, you are overwhelmed at first," says Sarah Fairfield, Julia's mom. "It's a whole new routine, a new lifestyle. There is a lot to learn in the beginning. A caregiver of a young active child with diabetes can make over 100 treatment decisions a day. There is so much planning that goes into it."
As much as the girls find support in each other, their moms also have comfort in knowing that their daughter's friend has a family who knows how to handle their health needs.
"Things like sleepovers can be tricky," says Adams. "You have to know a little bit of what is going on. As the mom, you can only plan so much with packing snacks and everything else. When Ainsley goes to Julia's for a sleepover, I know I don't have to worry."
Fairfield adds, "It gives an incredible peace of mind to have someone who understands the day-to-day challenges. You problem solve together."
The "Golden Unicorn" friendship
The girls demonstrating their gymnastics moves. Both girls manage the impact of their favourite physical activities with their diabetes.
Ainsley and Julia are the only students in their grade at their school with T1D.
"Whenever our levels would match up, we used to make jokes about how we were golden unicorns," says Julia.
Ainsley adds, "If I ever needed anything I can go to Julia. If I need something like Dextabs at school I would be able to ask her for some. I remember one day at school, I saw Julia a little shaky and I ran over right away because I knew the signs of what was happening." Ainsley is referring to a situation where she noticed Julia was experiencing signs of low blood sugar levels.
Both girls attend Diabetes Canada Camp every summer, along with Bassilious, a camp doctor, who is referred to as one of their "camp buddies."
"The biggest thing is making sure children remain children throughout all of it," says Bassilious. "They have such a resilient spirit, and the partnership with their mothers in managing their diabetes is extremely incredible."
Adams agrees. "I think they are both amazing examples of kids who are thriving despite what they have to do on a daily basis."
"It doesn't define you."
"Kids still need to be kids," says Bassilious. "They need to eat in order to grow, and do all the things they enjoy. Diabetes is manageable – it doesn't define who they are."
Ainsley is a competitive dancer who does jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, contemporary, tap, and ballet. She plans ahead to manage her sugars on long dance nights.
"I have to keep on top of it. You can still do all of your activities and eat, just make sure you plan, monitor, dose and don't let it hold you back," says Ainsley.
When Julia isn't bike riding or getting her favourite slushies, she is a talented gymnast. She doesn't let diabetes get in the way of her jumps, flips, and twists.
Both parents express the importance of breaking the stigma of stereotypes around T1D.
"You hear so many stereotypes about diabetes – people think it's because you don't eat healthy or you're not active," says Adams. "That is not the truth at all."
"The biggest thing is making sure children remain children throughout all of it," says Bassilious. "Whether it be trick-or-treating or having pizza and cake at a birthday party or playing their favorite sport, it is important children and youth living with T1D continue to do what they enjoy."

COMPASS Pathways announces positive outcome of 25mg COMP360 psilocybin therapy as adjunct to SSRI antidepressants in open-label treatment-resistant depression study
Patients taking COMP360 psilocybin with concomitant SSRIs showed comparable treatment outcomes to patients withdrawn from their SSRI therapy in COMPASS's phase IIb trial
All patients tolerated COMP360 psilocybin therapy well
London, UK – 13 December 2021
COMPASS Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) ("COMPASS"), a mental health care company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today announced the results from its exploratory study of COMP360 psilocybin therapy in conjunction with SSRI use. This single-arm open label study of 19 patients taking concomitant SSRI therapy with COMP360 psilocybin therapy using a single dose of 25mg saw comparable treatment outcomes to patients in COMPASS's phase IIb trial where patients were withdrawn from their SSRI prior to COMP360 psilocybin therapy.
"The results of this study challenge the widely-held belief that the use of SSRI medication together with psilocybin could interfere with psilocybin's therapeutic effect. Our findings provide a strong signal that COMP360 psilocybin therapy could be an adjunctive treatment to SSRI antidepressants as well as a monotherapy. For some patients with treatment-resistant depression, withdrawal is a difficult step even though, by definition, 'treatment-resistant' means that those antidepressants are not working. This is exactly why we conduct rigorous research to help guide our clinical trial design - including addressing barriers to adoption of COMP360 therapy," stated Guy Goodwin, COMPASS Pathways' Chief Medical Officer. "We are now looking forward to meeting with the FDA early in the new year in light of these new data to finalise our plans for the phase III programme, which we expect to begin in Q3 2022."
Study result
This open-label study included 19 patients from clinical sites in Ireland and the United States. The majority of patients were female (68.4%) and the average age was 42 years. The primary endpoint was the change in baseline MADRS1 total score at 3 weeks in patients having 25mg COMP360 psilocybin therapy given in augmentation with their existing SSRI antidepressant regimen. In the study, 8 of the 19 patients (42.1%) were responders1 at week 3 (compared with 36.7% at week 3 in the phase IIb trial) and all 8 were also remitters1. The mean reduction from baseline observed in MADRS total score was 14.9 at week 3 (compared with a 12.0 mean reduction in MADRS in the phase IIb trial). There was a rapid response from day 2 to week 3 after COMP360 therapy, which is also consistent with the phase IIb result. The baseline MADRS score of patients entering the study was 31.7, representing moderate to severe depression. MADRS scores were assessed by blinded independent raters at baseline, on the day following COMP360 psilocybin therapy, and at weeks 1, 2 and 3. Patients were then invited to participate in COMPASS's long-term follow-up study which also includes patients from the phase IIb trial.
COMP360 psilocybin therapy using a 25mg dose also showed overall signals of improvement in most other measures including improvement in anxiety, clinician and self-rated depressive symptoms, and positive and negative affect.
25mg COMP360 psilocybin therapy was generally well-tolerated when it was administered simultaneously with the patient's SSRI treatment. There were no treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) classed as serious (life threatening, leading to disabilities, hospitalisation or in general medically significant) and no TEAEs related to suicidal ideation or behaviour or intentional self-injury.
COMPASS is now preparing for a meeting with the FDA in early 2022 and this result will be included in that discussion. COMPASS expects to finalise a phase III programme design with the FDA and anticipates commencing that programme in Q3 2022. As a reminder, COMPASS has Breakthrough Therapy designation with the FDA.
About treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
More than 320 million people globally suffer with major depressive disorder (MDD)2, the leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the fastest growing mental health illnesses3. About a third of these patients - 100 million people - aren't helped by existing therapies and suffer with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)4. As many as 30% of these attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime5,6. TRD carries two to three times the medical costs of a non-TRD MDD patient, and patients with TRD have a higher all-cause mortality compared with non-TRD MDD patients7. The TRD population is by definition more difficult to treat and more likely to relapse than patients with major depressive disorder. In 2018, COMPASS received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for its COMP360 psilocybin therapy for TRD.
About COMPASS Pathways
COMPASS Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a mental health care company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. Our focus is on improving the lives of those who are suffering with mental health challenges and who are not helped by current treatments. We are pioneering the development of a new model of psilocybin therapy, in which our proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin, COMP360, is administered in conjunction with psychological support. COMP360 has been designated a Breakthrough Therapy by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and we have completed a phase IIb clinical trial of psilocybin therapy for TRD, in 22 sites across Europe and North America. This was the largest randomised, controlled, double-blind psilocybin therapy clinical trial ever conducted, and our topline data showed a statistically significant (p<0.001) and clinically relevant improvement in depressive symptom severity after three weeks for patients who received a single high dose of COMP360 psilocybin with psychological support. We are also running a phase II clinical trial of COMP360 psilocybin therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). COMPASS is headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York and San Francisco in the US. Our vision is a world of mental wellbeing. www.compasspathways.com

A web design strategy pays off for you and your organization. Whether your site is up and running or you are composing the blueprint for a new one – having a design strategy helps you make sure your site tells your story.
The key reason you need one is because this is how you "stick the landing." It creates a vehicle for your team to capture and document conversations that always seem to go in circles. Once you have it down on paper everyone is on the same page when you carry out the plan and manage the operations.
It's a living document and may change as your site evolves, but at its core, the design strategy tells the story of your site to your team and ultimately your audience.
Like a call center system that can drive you to distraction (press one for English), the labels and hierarchy of the "menu" of buttons on your Web site organizes content and helps people find things…or get hopelessly lost. Given that role, many conclude that the success of your navigation is the leading indicator for building confidence in your organization.
Web developers often call the navigation the "information architecture" of your site – an organizing logic that will help users find what they need without a lot of hunting and pecking.
I heart widgets – I think they are one of the most lightweight and powerful tools out there for communicating real-time information to your allies.
What's surprising though is, that with a few notable exceptions, most organization's PR shops are stuck in the old school style of getting the word out about their activities. You know the drill: write the press release, send it to the main stream media, follow-up with a call and pitch your story.

Ivy the Kiwi?
by Karlie Yeung - September 20, 2010, 10:45 am PDT
This game is deceptively challenging underneath its cute exterior.
Original Sonic creator Yuji Naka's original Windows Mobile game, called Ivy the Kiwi?, has been brought to Wii and DS in North America courtesy of XSEED. The game is about Ivy, a little bird who fell from the sky and when she hatched, she couldn't find her mother. It's up to you to sort out this lost chick.
The game is beautiful. Presented as a series of images in a storybook, the pencil-drawn world could have been printed on paper. The backgrounds vary as you progress through the chapters and light cheerful themes accompany Ivy's squeal of "Kiiiwi!" as you anchor and swing vines across the screen to move her to the goal.
Creating vines is straightforward, but controlling Ivy's direction is more difficult to master. Ivy can walk along the vines, but most often you'll be pushing her along with the momentum of swinging the loose end of the vine. Positioning needs to be perfect as mistakes are difficult to correct. There's no elegant solution for removing wrongly placed vines. Ivy is constantly on the move, and the screen pans with her. This means that you don't have time to perfect vine placement or create safe zones in advance. This leads to quite some adjustment before you're able to control Ivy fluidly. By the time the later levels come around though, you'll be prepared for them.
Nearly all of the levels are very linear, and all are quite small. As you progress, the game throws different kinds of enemies and obstacles at you that cause instant death and restart you on the same level. There will be spikes and water droplets on the ceiling so you fling Ivy into the air more carefully, and while one set of enemies can be despatched with vines, another type can't, so you then have to time your approach. These subtle changes to the levels keep the game fresh as you require different approaches as you progress.
Levels tend to be quite short, getting to the goal is a straightforward endeavour, with the occasional alternate paths that lead you to feathers or directly to the goal. It's collecting the ten feathers in each level that can be risky and require clever movements. Collecting ten gives you an extra life, and marks the levels as completed with all feathers.
The instant action controls and short levels give the gameplay an arcade style. A perfect run is a lot of fun, but one mistake, and it's difficult to correct Ivy's course. If you're too slow and there's danger around, that's the end. Running out of lives only resets the score counter, so you can attempt each level as many times as necessary with no penalty.
Any of the levels can be played in co-op, and the second player can drop in to draw three additional vines on the same screen. Unless you're coordinating very well though, it's difficult with more vines on the screen as only the player who created a vine can remove it.
Fortunately, in the competitive multiplayer levels, vines created by other players do disappear. Since you can still fling another player's Ivy with your vines, it turns the race for the finish into a strategic contest of speed and sabotage.
Ivy isn't a long game. Even if you collect all the feathers on each level, it doesn't take long to work through the main game. However, at the end, modified versions of these are unlocked, with an extra goal adding difficulty. The multiplayer options are a nice extra, but as the controls take some adapting to and the levels are the same, it's not an ideal game to play in this way.
There's just something about the perfect run, where Ivy stays on the vines for the whole level, not even touching the floor, collecting every feather and avoiding all enemies then landing right on top of the goal. This satisfaction gives you a reason to replay levels for a gold medal rating.
Overall, Ivy the Kiwi can be a satisfying experience despite the initially tricky controls. While the main game won't take so long to work through, there are enough reasons to go back and give it a try in one of the other modes.

It looked fun the first I saw it, because it reminded me of Kirby Canvas Curse. So I guess it doesn't matter what version to buy. Hmm..

Q: 32-bit unicode in python Python has an escape sequence \u to display unicode values. However this is restricted to only 16 bit unicode values. That is
>>> '\u1020'
'ဠ'

Whereas 32 bit uncode values do not work. That is
>>> '\u00001000'
'\x001000'

Which is obviously wrong. The python documentation mentions

The escape sequence \u0020 indicates to insert the Unicode character with the ordinal value 0x0020 (the space character) at the given position.

A: The python How To Unicode clearly mentions the use of '\U' to represent 32-bit unicode sequences.
>>> "\u0394"                          # Using a 16-bit hex value
'Δ'
>>> "\U00000394"                      # Using a 32-bit hex value
'Δ'

In this case
>>> '\U00001000'
'က'

Rising demand for Prai property
Completed terrace houses in the Pearl Garden project by Tambun Indah Development in Simpang Ampat
GEORGE TOWN: Residential property prices in the prime locations of Seberang Prai have seen their most pronounced rise in years with prices having advanced by between 10% and 20% for the past six months.
The prime residential locations in Seberang Prai are in Alma in central Seberang Prai, Simpang Ampat and Bukit Tambun in southern Seberang Prai, and Butterworth town.
Henry Butcher Malaysia (Seberang Prai) senior manager Fook Tone Huat told StarBiz that a double-storey terrace house in Alma, Bukit Mertajam was now priced at around RM280,000, compared with RM240,000 about a year ago, an increase of about 17%.
A similar type of house in Simpang Ampat and Bukit Tambun in South Seberang Prai is now selling for about RM260,000, compared with RM220,000 a year ago.
In Butterworth town, a double-storey terrace house is priced around RM320,000, compared with about RM260,000 a year ago.
For condominiums in prime locations such as the Pinang Laguna Water Park condo project in Seberang Jaya, Fook said the prices had increased by about 10% from last year to about RM200,000.
For example, the recent launches of Pinang Laguna Water Park Condo units in July by Island LandCap Properties were priced from RM208,888, up about 10% from RM188,888 last August when the project was first introduced.
The Pinang Laguna Water Park Condo project, comprising 350 condominiums with built-up areas of 935sq ft and 1,010sq ft, is over 90% sold.
"In last three years, condominiums are becoming increasingly popular in Jalan Raja Uda and Jalan Telaga Air in Butterworth town.
"The original selling price, which started off from about RM160,000 for a unit with over 1,000 sq ft in built-up area, has risen over 30% over the past three years to around RM210,000 and RM230,000 today," he said.
For the second half of 2010, three condominium projects, the Dahlia Park, Tanjung Heights in Butterworth town, and Palma Laguna Water Park Condo in Seberang Jaya, are already being planned for launching.
Although the price of residential properties had risen, Seberang Prai is still far from being a speculative market.
Fook said this could be seen in the low volume of sub-sales transaction of residential properties in the secondary market.
"Since January 2010, our company's sub-sale transactions are just over 50 units.
"The appreciation for sub-sales properties is about 5% yearly," Fook said, adding that Henry Butcher Seberang Prai's main focus was on sales transaction of light industrial properties.
Fook said the speculative element in the Seberang Prai residential property market was not strong, as there was a strong supply of new houses.
From Asas Dunia Bhd alone, a major developer in the mainland, in the first half of 2010, the group had already launched 231 units of landed residential properties with an approximate gross sales value (GSV) of RM82mil, compared with the 169 units with an approximate GSV of RM44mil launched by the group for the whole of 2009.
Tambun Indah Development Sdn Bhd general manager Teh Theng Theng said the sub-sales for its Juru Heights project in central Seberang Prai in the past three years were only about 10% of the 482 units of landed residential properties in the scheme.
The demand for workers from multi-national corporations such as Ibiden Electronics Malaysia Sdn Bhd, First Solar, and Osram is also stimulating the demand for affordable residential properties on the mainland.
Ibiden, for example, has announced that it would hire some 900 workers for its first plant that is scheduled to start operations in the second quarter 2011.
Osram Opto Semiconductors and First Solar had earlier this year announced their plans to hire 1,000 workers for each of their respective plants in Bayan Lepas and in Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP).
Meanwhile, Real Estate Housing Developer Association (Penang, REHDA) chairman Datuk Jerry Chan said the rise in Seberang Prai property prices had to do with the increase in land and construction costs.
"In hot locations such as Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam towns, where land is limited, the price of land with vacant possession is now about RM50 per sq ft and RM40 per sq ft respectively.
"In Alma, the price of land with vacant possession is about RM30 per sq ft, while in Bukit Tambun it is around RM18 per sq ft.
"Inclusive of land and construction costs, the cost to build a double-storey house on the mainland is about RM200,000, compared with about RM160,000 a year ago," Chan said.
Chan said the scheduled completion of the second Penang bridge in 2013 was another important factor in pushing up property prices. "Now that is over 24% completed, people are now confident that it would be completed on time," he said.
DNP Land Sdn Bhd general manager KC Tan said one of the reasons why property prices in Bukit Mertajam was appreciating had to do with the effort to improve the road infrastructure.
"For example, the roads near Bukit Mertajam town are now gradually being widened to accommodate the construction of a flyover that will reduce traffic congestion.
"The opening of Tesco hypermarket in Alma before the year ends also explains why the area is now booming as a prime residential zone," he said.

Emkay wants Cyberjaya land to build office towers
PRIVATELY-HELD property developer Emkay Group is on the lookout for land in Cyberjaya, Selangor, to build office towers.
Its senior general manager Mazrita Mazlan said that office space was in demand and easier to sell, giving good returns to the group as foreign multinational corporations liked to buy floor by floor en bloc.
"Office space is what the market wants right now as the government does not have enough buildings to house their ministries and agencies such as the Department of Environment and the Public Service department. Also, Cyberjaya is near Putrajaya with easy and fast connectivity," Mazrita told Business Times.
"Furthermore, office space which is usually sold en bloc is hassle-free because documentation process is under one company, making it faster to process at local government agencies compared to shop-houses," she added.
Mazrita said the group recently bought 1.4ha in Cyberjaya for RM7 million, on which it plans to build another two to three office blocks or special purpose buildings.
"We have sufficient experience to build office towers, such as our completed RM100 million Bangunan Mustapha Kamal in Cyberjaya and the RM350 million Menara Mustapha Kamal in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya.
"But we plan to build office towers cautiously and will first undertake feasibility studies to see the project's viability," she said.
Mazrita added that some international firms, especially information technology (IT), find it cumbersome to buy land and build their own offices.
"They would rather tender out construction of the buildings and then rent or sell them to investors."
The Emkay group is owned and controlled by property tycoon Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, who is also the executive chairman and dominant stakeholder of associate company MK Land Holdings Bhd.
He holds 48.7 per cent of MK Land via privately-held MKN Holdings Sdn Bhd, which in turn is one of 15 companies owned by Mustapha grouped under the Emkay stable.
Emkay associate company Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd is also the master developer of Cyberjaya.
Mazrita believes that Cyberjaya is the place to be as it is home to 20,000 students, out of which half are foreigners.
It is also a workplace for 19,000 workers spread across 50 MSC Malaysia-compliant buildings spanning 5.8 million sq ft.
"Property price in Cyberjaya is competitive at RM350 per sq ft compared with other competitors at RM450 per sq ft, and rental yield here is 7 per cent per year," said Mazrita.

GEORGE TOWN: The second half of this year will see the commencement of property launches in Seberang Prai for 1,981 landed and high-rise property units with an estimated gross sales value (GSV) of RM571mil.
Asas Dunia Bhd, Tambun Indah Development Sdn Bhd, and Island LandCap Properties Group are among the developers launching the projects.
Of the 1,981 units, some 664 are high-rise properties developed by Tambun Indah Development Sdn Bhd and Island LandCap Properties.
The highlight of the high-rise projects is the 38-storey RM100mil Palma Laguna Water Park Condo, touted as the tallest building in the mainland, by Island LandCap Properties.
"The 382 condominiums, measuring 1040 sq ft and 1,100sq ft in built-up areas, are priced between RM228,000 and RM265,000, depending on whether the units are facing the sea or the facilities.
"There are four penthouses, with built-up areas of 1,600sq ft and 1,970sq ft, priced between RM400,000 and RM490,000.
"We have already sold 20% of the units during a preview recently," said Island LandCap executive chairman Oon Weng Boon. The official launch of the project is on October 23.
Also scheduled for launching in the fourth quarter are Tambun Indah's RM40mil Dahlia Park and the RM41mil Tanjung Heights high-rise condominium project, comprising 282 units.
"The Dahlia Park in Butterworth town comprises 134 condominiums with built-up areas ranging between 1,395sq ft and 1,689sq ft, priced from RM209,800 onwards.
"The Tanjung Heights project in Butterworth town comprises 148 condominiums of 1,300sq ft units, priced at around RM200,000," Tambun Indah general manager Teh Theng Theng said.
"The recent launches of Carissa Park werepriced at RM182,000, compared with RM160,000 when the project was introduced early this year," she said.
Teh added that the group's Carissa Park condominium project, comprising 144 units in Butterworth town, had sold about 70% of its units since the launch early this year.
Tambun Indah is also launching, in the fourth quarter, 467 units of landed residential properties in Simpang Ampat, South Seberang Prai, and in Alma, central Seberang Prai, with an approximate GSV of RM160mil.
"Some 335 units are for the group's Pearl Villa gated project in Simpang Ampat.
"The terrace and semi-detached properties are priced respectively from RM270,000 and RM398,000 onwards.
"The Impian Residence, comprising 132 terrace and semi-detached units, is in Alma.
"The selling price starts from RM260,000 for terrace units and RM350,000 for semi-detached types," she said.
Asas Dunia will launch soon 850 units of landed properties planned for central and southern Seberang Prai.
The 850 units of landed properties have an estimated GSV of RM230mil.
They comprise 500 single-storey semi-detached houses, and 350 double-storey terrace, double-storey semi-detached, and light industrial units.
Group managing director Datuk Jerry Chan said the single-storey semi-detached unit, with built-up and land areas of 1,200 sq ft and 2,660sq ft respectively, was priced between RM150,000 and RM290,000.
The double-storey semi-detached unit, with built-up and land areas of 2,557sq ft and 2,724sq ft, is priced from RM358,888.

Pulau Bruit development set to be major tourist destination
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has announced plans to develop Pulau Bruit in Sarawak into a major tourist destination.
The island covers an area of 530 sq km. Pulau Bruit is the second largest island in Malaysia after Pulau Langkawi.
The development of the island will also benefit the nearby Kampung Penipah and Kampung Tekajong along Sungai Rajang.
On April 28, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said a RM28mil infrastructure project to transform the island into an agropolitan centre.
Pulau Bruit was prioritised for development by the state for its strategic location in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy.
The government will look into areas of urgency such as the construction of roads connecting the villagers of the island to the district of Sibu where it will enable them to transport their produce to sell at a lower delivery cost.
Kampung Penipah also requires a clinic of its own as patients currently have to travel for 40 minutes by longboat to the Tekajong Health Clinic and this can only be done during high tide.

SP Setia to grow foothold in landed assets
SP Setia's acquisition of 103.64 hectares of land in Johor and its development prospects may further strengthen the property developer's foothold to capitalise on the boom in the mid-to-high-end landed properties in the country, says OSK Research.
The company bought the freehold development land, adjacent to its Setia Indah township in Iskandar Malaysia, for RM169.3 million or RM15 per square feet, recently.
It said the proximity of the land to other mature developments offers important advantages, especially potential demand among upgraders in the area, wanting to move up to larger, newer and better-designed houses.
The proposed development that would replenish the company's landbank is expected to have a gross development value of RM1.5 billion.
"The land development is envisaged to commence by end-2011 or early financial year 2012, with a development period of eight years.
"The land is expected to be developed into another township with a mix of residential and commercial properties," OSK said in a research note today.
It said earnings contribution, at the earliest, is expected to start from late 2011 (or early financial year 2012) and onwards.
However, as the launching and development details are still sketchy, it is not imputing this into its earnings forecast for now, it said.

Tim Hortons Co-Founder Ron Joy..
The Sprudge Guide To Coffee In..
The vibe here at Go Get Em feels industrial and hip—there is a Shinola retail store next door, natch—but shot through with an approach to clean space and line art that evokes the company's first cafe space in LA, over on Larchmont. The two cafes are about six miles apart, but the aesthetic difference between neighborhoods cannot be overstated. There is also another new GGET in Highland Park, east of the Los Angeles River, in the same building as Highland Park Natural Wine. The brand plans to open several new cafes (plural) across the Los Angeles region in 2019 and 2020.
Kyle Glanville (right) with co-founder Charles Babinski, photographed in Highland Park.
But here on E. 3rd, the bar is outfitted with GGET's favorite La Marzocco PB, in deep tiger orange, paired with Mazzer grinders. There is house-made almond milk, freshly turned. Watching over the baristas stands a female boxer with her fists raised. The simple line art stands out thanks to her red gloves, drawing your eyes to the corner where she waits. The art evokes a classic, knowingly retro Pee-Chee folders style, which Glanville describes as a fundamental part of the brand. "We want characters who are doing something remarkable," he tells me.
An in-house design team handled the space's slight expansion and outfitting. This is the first time GGET has handled all the design work themselves, a sure sign the company is growing. The centerpiece of the industrial architecture is a floor-to-ceiling garage-style door with windows to let in light and framed by reinforced steel beams. Floating shelves on a wall across from the bar display all their retail coffee, the pastel bright packages serving as both tempting retail and cheery candy-colored decor. A rack of GGET shirts hangs in the window, and against the wall next to the bar are other shelves of home-brewing retail, as well as more swag. Like Larchmont, GGET Arts District has a long bar where customers can stand and order from anywhere. There are a couple of two-tops outside for soaking up the sun, and people watching the busy neighborhood.
The food menu here is more compact than say, at the brand's Los Feliz spot, where food is a major focus. "We want to focus on the hits," says Glanville, "but we're walking a perilous line." He means to make sure that GGET remains a coffee shop in the public eye, instead of being perceived as a restaurant. "Food here should orbit the gravitational pull of the coffee," Glanville explains, which means you can get stuff like waffles, granola, or a frittata here in the Arts District. It's food that wants to live with coffee.
This Arts District location opened in late 2018, and it marks just the latest growth iteration for a part of Los Angeles that's become synonymous with generational change. In the last 15 years, this neighborhood has experienced a renaissance, moving from abandoned buildings, through artist lofts, to a more bourgeois crowd with the money for luxury lofts and curated boutiques. But the undercurrent remains friendly and a little bohemian—there's a reason why Hollywood films so many New York City scenes on these blocks—and the staff reflects back the same vibe. Though by no means the only coffee shop in the area (there are three other shops serving coffee within spitting distance), GGET has already drawn their regulars and is consistently busy.
"The most gratifying experience is when you can be early to a neighborhood that is coming into itself," Glanville says, and you can see it happening before your very eyes through the cafe's windows onto 3rd. The block is bustling, and streams naturally into part of the SCI-Arc campus, the gallery Hauser & Wirth, and the half-dozen boutiques and dozen restaurants nearby. "The Arts District chews up and spits out coffee shops," he laughs, the implication being—but not this one. Only time will tell, but a strong set of opening months seems to portend well for the future of Go Get Em in the Arts District. They seem ready to sink their claws in and stick around for the long haul.

IARC Classifications Explained – L1
IARC is the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO).
IARC's mission is to co-ordinate and conduct research on the causes of human cancer and to develop scientific strategies for cancer prevention and control.
IARC classifies agents that humans may be exposed to based on the strength of evidence of their potential as human cancer hazards. The agents include chemicals, complex mixtures, processes, occupational or environmental exposures, cultural or behavioural practices, biological organisms, and physical substances.
IARC does not consider 'risk' or likelihood of harm to humans. It only considers the strength of the scientific evidence for a cancer association. Importantly, risk may not be present at everyday levels of exposure to the agent being assessed.
To do this IARC establishes Working Groups of specialist scientists to review the evidence for any cancer hazard associated with the selected agents.
The IARC Working Group meets to consider the evidence as a whole. They aim to achieve a consensus among Working Group members regarding the adequacy of the evidence and how to classify the agent(s) under consideration as to the strength of evidence for a cancer hazard.
In the case of Non-Ionizing Radiation, IARC conducted an evaluation of the evidence in May 2011 of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields which includes mobile telephones.
Click here to see the overview of IARC's work
Click here to see the objective and scope of IARC's work
What are the IARC Classifications?
For each agent reviewed, the IARC uses five classifications for the strength of the scientific evidence that an exposure may be a cancer hazard.
What has IARC already classified?
Since 1971, IARC has evaluated more than 900 agents. This includes alcoholic beverages, asbestos, benzene, formaldehyde, drinking coffee, hair colouring products, paracetamol, powerline electromagnetic fields, and shiftwork that involves disruption to normal sleep patterns.
Click here for the IARC classifications
What is the IARC classification for radio frequency fields (RF) ?
On 31st May 2011, IARC classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.
IARC state in the summary of results:
"The evidence was reviewed critically, and overall evaluated as being limited among users of wireless telephones for glioma and acoustic neuroma, and inadequate to draw conclusions for other types of cancers. The evidence from the occupational and environmental exposures mentioned above was similarly judged inadequate"
Source: http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2011/pdfs/pr208_E.pdf
IARC published a news article (Carcinogenicity of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields) providing further details of the classification in the Journal - Lancet Oncology (online 22nd June 2011).
On the 19th April 2013, IARC published Monograph Vol. 102 on 'Non-Ionizing Radiation, Part 2: Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields'.
The WHO has updated the fact sheet on electromagnetic fields and public health : mobile phones to refer to the IARC classification.

IARC is the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO). IARC's mission is to co-ordinate and conduct research on the causes of human cancer and to develop scientific strategies for cancer prevention and control.

The agents include chemicals, complex mixtures, processes, occupational or environmental exposures, cultural or behavioural practices, biological organisms, and physical substances.
Click here to see the objective and scope of IARC's work.
National and international research programmes generate the necessary scientific evidence for the review of different agents. Once IARC has completed a hazard evaluation based on the available scientific evidence for a particular agent, the WHO will use the IARC information to conduct a formal health risk assessment to determine the likelihood of risk to human health.
It also recommends an appropriate risk management strategy to assist national and international authorities in making risk assessments and subsequent risk management decisions.
IARC establishes Working Groups to conduct the review of agents and the group meets to consider the evidence as a whole. They aim to achieve consensus among Working Group members regarding the adequacy of the evidence and how to classify the
agent(s) under consideration.
They evaluate possible cancer hazards using:
Exposure data – how humans are exposed to the substance or process under review.
Studies of cancer in humans – these may be population studies or experimental studies.
Studies of cancer in experimental animals – usually from laboratory tests.
Evidence of mechanisms and other data – are there known physical processes at work which explain any association?
For each type of study the Working Group examines the strength of the evidence using standard terms and also the extent to which one type of evidence supports another. For example, whether the evidence is sufficient, limited or inadequate, and are associations reported in population studies supported by controlled laboratory studies.
Finally, the body of evidence is considered as a whole in order to reach an overall evaluation of the carcinogenicity of the agent to humans.
Click here for IARC's scientific review and evaluation summary
Click here for IARC's scientific review and evaluation details (inc definitions of limited, sufficient and adequate)
When reporting on an agent's classification, the IARC takes great care to distinguish between terms such as "cancer association", "cancer hazard" and "cancer risk". Each of these terms has a specific scientific meaning as explained by IARC:
A cancer 'hazard' is an agent that is capable of causing cancer under some circumstances, while a cancer 'risk' is an estimate of the carcinogenic effects expected from exposure to a cancer hazard. The Monographs are an exercise in evaluating cancer hazards, despite the historical presence of the word 'risks' in the title.
The distinction between hazard and risk is important, and the Monographs identify cancer hazards even when risks are very low at current exposure levels, because new uses or unforeseen exposures could engender risks that are significantly higher.
Click here to see IARC's explanation of these terms
For each agent reviewed, IARC uses five categories to classify the strength of the scientific evidence that exposure to the agent may be a cancer hazard.
Since 1971, IARC has evaluated more than 900 agents. This includes alcohol, asbestos, benzene, formaldehyde, drinking coffee, hair colouring products, powerline frequencies, shiftwork that involves circadian disruption, and paracetamol.
What is the IARC classification for Radio Frequency fields (RF)
IARC published a news article (Carcinogentity of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields) providing further details of the classification in the Journal - Lancet Oncology (online 22nd June 2011). .

In celebration of A Wrinkle in Time turning 50, a mom lists her favorite books for children and young adults.
Books are a portal. They send you to another time and place, and even allow you to become another person. Sometimes, a book can speak to many of us—not always on the same topic, but in a similar fashion—and it becomes a classic that stands the test of time.
A Wrinkle In Time is one such classic. Madeline L'Engle's popular tale of time travel is a Newberry Award winner celebrating fifty years of popularity this year. I loved this book as a child, and it's been my habit to pass on beloved childhood books to my own children. I discovered I'd been remiss with this particular book while in the bookstore last week when my 12 year old son picked it up and remarked that it "looked cool."
Here are some of the books I've enjoyed sharing with my own children, grouped by age. Won't you share yours as well?
Baby to Age 3: You can't go wrong with anything by Sandra Boynton. I have most of these books saved for future—way in the future—grandchildren. When Everybody Wore a Hat is a great story that details a time few children know about.
Preschool: When I was young, I loved Ezra Jack Keats' A Snowy Day, and it's a story that has stayed with me for years. Green Eggs and Ham is a popular choice, as are all Dr. Seuss stories. The Bob book series is excellent for teaching beginning readers.
Early Elementary: As much as it pains me to say, my own girls were freakishly addicted to the Junie B Jones stories as well as the Marvin Redpost and Judy Moody series. This was the age when I discovered the Little House on the Prairie series and decided that I really, REALLY wanted a bonnet. I'm still a LHOP fan to this day.
Middle Elementary: Elsie Dinsmore is an older series, but it's one that my girls have all loved. For boys, I found that my sons really enjoyed the Hank Zipzer series. My daughter added TumTum and Nutmeg and its companion as a must-read set.
Middle School: The Phantom Tollbooth is another book that's been around forever, and with good reason. The Sammy Keyes series is interesting and keeps readers' attention, and my middle son loves the Inheritance series. My girls have worn the covers off of many of the Girls' Guide books. The saving grace there is that the series covers almost every topic, which is especially handy if you aren't comfortable with certain discussions, or you feel as if your daughter will listen to a book more than her mother.
High School: This is a tricky age, and by this time, my avid readers have decided that, thanks to required reading at school, reading is no longer cool. Despite this declaration, Fahrenheit 451, Alas, Babylon and The Hunger Games have been tried and true here.
So be sure to teach your children that it's all within the covers of a book: suspense, excitement, drama, love, death, sorrow and thrills.

Many people say that they no longer find Taiwan's night markets very attractive, but this did not happen overnight.
The influence of government policies, business operators and developing trends have gradually turned tourist night markets, which were once so popular that even people from China visited them, have become mere clones of each other. This in turn has caused the support of customers to plummet.
There is a lack of other attractions with sufficient substance and potential profitability to make up for decreased Chinese tourism numbers, despite Southeast Asian tourism setting new records.
As even Taiwanese no longer feel that night markets in other cities or counties are exciting or fresh, how could they attract foreign tourists?
First, there are too many chain stores, which has caused many night markets to have the same repetitive look.
Third, dishonest vendors have destroyed consumer trust.
Fourth, there are no additional tourist attractions, as relying on the night market alone is not a sufficient draw.
Lastly, there is a lack of appropriate tourist policies and understanding of market differentiation.
For example, some drink brands, stinky tofu brands and general stores are fixtures at all major night markets, which makes visitors feel that all night markets are the same.
As for traffic and movement, the parking situation is chaotic around some night markets, with cars parked everywhere, while conflicts erupt between tourists as the roads are blocked by visitors lining up at stalls.
It also goes without saying that no one wants to be cheated by fruit and luwei (滷味, soy sauce-marinated snack food) vendors who often appear in media reports.
The popular Fengjia (逢甲) market in Taichung's Xitun District (西屯) is gradually losing its appeal, because the scenic spots are scattered around the city.
In Taipei, the Tonghua (通化), Raohe (饒河) and Shilin (士林) night markets have also become increasingly similar to each other over the past few years in the absence of a tourism policy to promote these markets either through integrated marketing or through marketing that highlights their differences.
There are many night markets nationwide, and they have been used as a symbol representing the Taiwanese brand in international marketing.
However, from a policy perspective, this requires taking into consideration the unique factors and touristic value of these night markets, as well as communicating directly with the markets to differentiate their business approaches and branding.
This is the only way to pique the interest of tourists, both domestic and foreign.
Wang Fu Kai is president of the Chinese Integrated Marketing Communications Association.

It is a fruit with an amazing ability that can manipulate your body's internal functions. The fruit is not edible. It is the extract of the fruit that contains a healthy element capable of fighting an unhealthy status of your body and mind. Would you like to know what purpose this is used for? The extract of the fruit has hydroxycitric acid that is used in weight loss supplements. Don't make any assumptions beforehand unless you want to miss an amazing weight loss opportunity through a natural way.
The hydroxycitric acid in Garcinia cambogia halts the production of citrate lyase, an enzyme that is linked to carbohydrate metabolism. Since the enzyme converts excess carbohydrates into fat, stopping the fat-making process is good news for dieters. HCA also stops the production of triglycerides and bad cholesterol, and it may even burn extra carbs.
Dr. Mehmet Oz and other nutrition experts recognize Garcinia cambogia as a "miracle weight loss food." In some studies, dieters who took HCA supplements lost between two and three times more weight that those who used a placebo. Some experienced mood elevation and sleep improvements after taking Garcinia cambogia.
It has been getting attention recently as in late 2012, the popular television host, Dr. Oz., mentioned it on his show. As a result, interest in this supplement increased greatly. Garcinia cambogia really the weight loss "holy grail" that Oz claims it to be?
According to research, garcinia cambogia does not have any known side effects in healthy adults. There are some people who should not take it, however, including pregnant women, lactating women, children, and people with diabetes, Alzheimer's, or any other form of dementia.
1) Garcinia Cambogia is a natural supplement with no side effects to the body.
2) It is totally safe and has the dual benefits of suppressing appetite and preventing fat from being made.
3) The standardized level of Hydrocytric Acid mixed with potassium and calcium as its base makes it suitable for any stomach conditions.
4) The dosage is available in 500mg capsule, making the effects of suppressing uncontrolled appetite better.
5) Together with a fitness program tailored to suit your individual needs, the process of burning fat and losing weight will definitely be faster and more effective.
As already mentioned above, garcinia is a fruit extract. So, it is a completely natural product. Like all natural products, this one also has no known side effects. People who have used this supplement have reported no side effects so far.
However, keep in mind that like all natural and herbal products, this one is also not controlled by the FDA. This means that you will need to exercise caution before and during usage of this supplement.
In healthy adults, no side effects have been reported. However, if you are suffering from any chronic illness such as diabetes, you should avoid taking this supplement. Pregnant and lactating woman should also avoid using this product.
People taking medications should also avoid taking it without first consulting their physician. Keep in mind that while the supplement may not have any adverse effects, its interaction with other drugs may lead to complications. So, make sure to consult your doctor if you are on any kind of regular medication.
"My favorite factor regarding Garcinia Cambogia Extract is that they work! All those stubborn areas of fat have simply looked as if it would soften away since I started taking. i can not advocate this product enough!" Laura Hudson From NY.
"I've been obtaining this for two many times currently. they appear to be serving to with my propensities and that i never get urges for meals irritation anymore. I've losing four bodyweight to this point". Molton Hilary From Mexico.
"This product is awesome, not starving or nervous, I actually have missing ten weight in one weeks.I believe The acai fruit berries fruit has additional anti-oxidants however Garcinia Cambogia are wonderful for weight-loss". Sofia Lopez From Washington.
All my friends kept telling me about how amazing this Garcinia Cambogia Select stuff is. I've had trouble with my weight since middle school, so you can imagine how desperate I was to finally look and feel as great as my friends seemed to every summer. I finally tried UltraCeleb Garcinia Cambogia, and let me tell you, I will NEVER try another diet again! This stuff is incredible!
Garcinia Cambogia Select is amazing! It really helped me lose weight fast and the weight stayed off! Highly recommend! I have lost 4 pounds. There are no side effects or any jittery feelings. I recommend this as an appetite suppressant. I Will continue to buy! Great Price and great seller!
As a mom of 2, I juggle work, kids, and all of life's other stresses on a daily basis. I've had extra weight on me ever since my first child, but no matter how hard I tried there was just never enough time to get out to the gym. A friend of mine bought me the Garcinia Cambogia - I couldn't believe it when I started dropping the weight! Thanks Garcinia Cambogia Select - You're a real life saver!


Meet the trailblazers, risk-takers, entrepreneurs and ancestors of Meagan Gipson.
WILLIAM WALLACE BASS... FATHER OF GRAND CANYON TOURISM!
William Wallace Bass headed west, not knowing what Arizona's great terrain had in store for him. Once he made his way through Williams, Arizona, he found himself staring over the edge and across the deep plunging of the wide expanse of the Grand Canyon. It was love at first sight.
His introduction led to the establishment of his Grand Canyon tourism business. W.W.'s entrepreneurial spirit was set ablaze and for the next fifty years of his life, he would give guided tours down dusty paths and rocky slopes, engaging audiences with stories of nature's majestic Grand Canyon. He would also become an avid miner, dabble in politics, travel the country giving speeches, and befriend intellectuals, presidents and artists including some of the most prolific writers and painters of the time.
But in the beginning, he would meet and marry Ada Diefendorf-Bass, a classically trained pianist, violinist and music teacher from Worcester, New York. While on a visit to see her aunt in Prescott, she was intrigued by a tour advertisement where days later, she met Bass at the train station in Williams and by wagon, made the trip to Bass Camp. Little did she know, that curiosity on her part would change the course of her existence forever.
Bass' namesake resides calmly but proudly at the Canyon as Bass Beach, Bass Rapid and North and South Bass Trails are all still alive and well at the Grand Canyon. Rancher and miner, Bert Lauzon, also holds a well-respected place in Grand Canyon history. With nerves of steel and will as hearty as they come, he joined the Kolb Brothers on the last leg of their expedition. Bert would then go on to become a constable and later a Park Ranger at the Grand Canyon.
W.W. and Ada were Meagan's great-great-grandparents and Bert Lauzon would come to meet their daughter, Edith. They were Meagan's great-grandparents. Today, Pioneer Cemetery at the Grand Canyon quietly and sacredly holds the stories of prominent individuals that lived at, worked in, and loved the Canyon.

In the 2005 Budget Speech to the Parliament, the Honourable Prime Minister acknowledged that Laventille and its environs were among the most depressed areas in the country characterized by high rates of crime and unemployment and with many of its residents living in sub-standard conditions. East Port-of-Spain was therefore declared a Special Development Zone, in which special attention was to be paid to the economic and social challenges faced by its residents. The ultimate goal is the achievement of the reduction of regional disparities and the creation of sustainable communities as prescribed in the Vision 2020 philosophy.
Cabinet Minute No. 2384 of September 15, 2005 agreed to the incorporation of the East Port-of-Spain Development Company as a Limited Liability Company, wholly owned by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
To develop and redevelop a zone in East Port-of-Spain, bounded by Charlotte Street, Lady Young Road and the Eastern Main Road and including Morvant, Never Dirty and Caledonia, to improve the economic, social and physical environment of those areas.
The boundaries of the area under the purview of the company were subsequently expanded to include the communities of Beetham Gardens, Sea Lots and Katanga. The area henceforth referred to as the Metropolitan District of East Port of Spain is shown in Figure 1.1.
The East Port of Spain Strategic Development Plan was informed by stakeholder consultations, field/ landuse surveys, secondary data collection, data analysis and review of earlier plans and their relevant policies and strategies.
Secondary data was obtained from the 2000 Population and Housing Census published by the Ministry of Planning and Development (Central Statistical Office), the only official source of Census data for Trinidad and Tobago. While the data is somewhat dated (seven years old) it remains the only comprehensive source of socio-economic data that is disaggregated for all communities in East Port of Spain and represents the entire population rather than a sample survey. The sixteen (16) communities identified by the CSO formed the basis for preliminary data collection analysis. However, more detailed spatial analyses resulted in a regrouping of communities into nineteen (19) urban villages which are used as the basis for further analyses and data presentation.
Formulating appropriate strategies for achieving desired changes and identifying development; actions/projects to improve local conditions and circumstances.
The Strategic Development Planning Process.

Q: Why don't method calls on angular services happen in order? I am creating an angular application that contains a game Board component, a Game service, and a Piece interface.
Piece.interface.ts
export interface Piece {
    id: number,
    number: number,
    icon: string,
    value: number
}

import { ThisReceiver } from "@angular/compiler";
import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import { Piece } from "../models/Piece.model";

@Injectable({
    providedIn: 'root'
})

export class GameService {
    pieces: Piece[] = [
        {
            id: 1,
            number: 1,
            icon: 'checkmark',
            value: 111

        {
            id: 2,
            number: 1,
            icon: 'checkmark',
            value: 111
        },
        {

        {

            value: 333
        },
        {
            id: 6,
            number: 3,
            icon: 'moon',
            value: 333
        }
    ]

    solvedPieces: Piece[] = [];

    shufflePieces(){
        this.pieces.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
        console.log('done shuffling');
    }
}

In the board component, I inject the game service and display the pieces through a console log.
export class Board implements OnInit{
    constructor(private gameService: GameService){

    }

    data: Piece[] = [];
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = this.gameService.pieces;
        console.log(this.data);
        this.gameService.shufflePieces();
        this.data=this.gameService.pieces;
        console.log(this.data)
    }
}

But when you inspect the logs, you can see that even in the first log, the pieces are shuffled. When you remove the shuffle function, both calls display the pieces array in order. So why am I not seeing the array first in order and then shuffled in my console logs?

Within the envied Frankston High School zone and a short walk to Monash University, the stylish home represents hot property within a neighbourhood highly sought by students and investors, while a short walk to Heatherhill Rd shopping strip puts all your daily needs close to your doorstep.
But it is the spacious light-filled interior that gives this home a touch of magic including large living and dining areas both opening to surrounding garden alfresco areas and a floorplan that resembles a full-size house providing enormous appeal for families.

It has been said that home is–when you go there they have to let you in. Also said: Home is where you hang your hat. Nope. Home is comfort. It's a place to nestle in to. It smells right. Living in a rehab facility is bearable if you know you're going home soon. I got well as soon as I could sleep most of the night. Sleep is so healing. Being out of commission with a broken leg in a non weight bearing cast slowed me down and put all those projects I had on hold. Making every day count-a Yankee maxim- doesn't mean you have to keep all your tops spinning at once. One good top spinning on course is good and productive.
I have found a publisher that has a good rating. I have read a number of books on self publishing vs traditional publishing. A writer can wait a year or more once accepted for their book to appear in print after they have been accepted by a traditional publisher. Hey, I don't want to wait that long. I am tired of sending out manuscripts and waiting the usual three months for no reply. Not even a thanks/no thanks or have an apple. I think I should try to estimate how many books I can sell before I go ahead. I need to be pretty sure of covering the price of publishing plus the printing cost of each book. My estimate is $1600 +- for publishing and $3.50 a book for printing. I will work this all out and tell you what I find.
