Il Teatro degli Orrori è stato un gruppo alternative rock italiano nato nel 2005. Il nome della band si ispira al teatro della crudeltà di Antonin Artaud.

Biografia

Esordi
Il gruppo si riunisce inizialmente in una sala prova a Marghera, frazione di Venezia nell'aprile del 2005. La formazione iniziale della band è composta da Pierpaolo Capovilla (frontman e cantante degli One Dimensional Man) alla voce e al basso, Gionata Mirai (frontman dei Super Elastic Bubble Plastic) alla chitarra, e Francesco "Franz" Valente (dal 2005 anche lui negli ODM) alla batteria. Dopo un breve periodo di prove, si aggiunge al gruppo Giulio "Ragno" Favero, già chitarrista e produttore artistico degli One Dimensional Man, che entra nel ruolo di bassista, lasciando a Capovilla solo il microfono.

Il 6 aprile 2007 esce il primo disco della band, intitolato Dell'impero delle tenebre e pubblicato da La Tempesta Dischi (distribuzione Venus). Il successo è immediato, accompagnato dagli apprezzamenti unanimi al disco. Il disco viene presentato come un lavoro estremo, febbricitante, lirico e coraggioso; una vera e propria "opera rock" in undici atti. Di notevole impatto l'utilizzo della lingua italiana, poco incline allo stile di Capovilla, che aveva sempre scritto e cantato in inglese, e tendenzialmente anche al genere musicale utilizzato. Vengono realizzati i videoclip di tre brani estratti da questo disco: Compagna Teresa (regia di Mauro Lovisetto), La canzone di Tom (regia di Mauro Lovisetto) e Carrarmatorock! (regia di Angelo Camba).

Nel frattempo la band parte per la sua prima tournée, in cui viene accompagnata, in alcune date da Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti, Montecristo e De Rosa.

Nel 2008 Il Teatro degli Orrori, oltre che continuare nell'intensissima attività live, realizza uno split album in vinile (corredato dall'equivalente CD) con il gruppo romano degli ZU e contenente le tracce Fallo! e Nostalgia. Il disco, diffuso in tiratura limitata (666 copie), viene pubblicato da La Tempesta.

Il 20 giugno 2008 la band partecipa all'Heineken Jammin' Festival al fianco dei Linea 77.

Il 25 marzo 2009 esce la compilation Afterhours presentano: Il paese è reale (19 artisti per un paese migliore?) voluta da Manuel Agnelli degli Afterhours in seguito alla partecipazione del suo gruppo al Festival di Sanremo 2009, per sostenere e promuovere le realtà indie rock della scena underground italiana, a cui il Teatro degli Orrori partecipa con una canzone dal titolo Refusenik, ispirata alle vicende degli obiettori di coscienza israeliani che rifiutano di imbracciare le armi in segno di protesta contro l'occupazione dei territori palestinesi.

A sangue freddo
Il gruppo in seguito si chiude nuovamente in sala prove, e precisamente presso lo studio Blocco A di Favero a Padova, dove comincia ad elaborare le nuove tracce che verranno inserite nel successivo LP del "Teatro". Il secondo disco A sangue freddo viene pubblicato, sempre da La Tempesta, il 30 ottobre 2009. La title-track del disco è dedicata a Ken Saro-Wiwa, poeta nigeriano ucciso nel 1995. L'album è stato ben accolto dalla critica e definito "meno grezzo e immediato" del precedente lavoro. Il successo però, viene ottenuto anche grazie ai contenuti narrativi (con citazioni che vanno da Majakovskij al Padre nostro), che vengono apprezzati da un pubblico trasversale e che consacra il Teatro come una delle band più importanti del rock italiano. Da questo disco vengono estratti tre singoli: A sangue freddo, Direzioni diverse (videoclip entrambi realizzati per la regia di Jacopo Rondinelli) e È colpa mia (videoclip curato da Annapaola Martin e contenente immagini e backstage del tour).

Sempre nel 2009 viene pubblicato Raro EP, costituito da sei tracce e diffuso in free download dal sito del mensile XL. Si tratta della registrazione di un concerto elettro-acustico tenuto presso l'auditorium di Sant'Umiltà a Faenza, in chiusura del Meeting delle Etichette Indipendenti. Il disco contiene anche due brani già editi (Direzioni diverse e Compagna Teresa) riarrangiati.

Ad inizio 2010 la band cambia formazione: Giulio Favero abbandona per problemi strettamente personali, mentre entrano a far parte del gruppo il polistrumentista Nicola Manzan (chitarra, violino, synth), già celebre nel settore underground come "deus ex machina" del progetto Bologna Violenta e Tommaso Mantelli (Captain Mantell) al basso.
Da questo momento viene rivolta l'attenzione in maniera notevole alle performance live del gruppo, che sono impregnate della teatralità di Capovilla e della presenza scenica di ben 5 elementi.

Il 25 aprile la band si esibisce nel concerto-evento Materiali resistenti tenutosi a Carpi.
Nel giugno sale sul palco degli MTV Days 2010, mentre il 26 settembre partecipa al festival musicale Woodstock 5 Stelle organizzato a Cesena da Beppe Grillo e trasmesso dal canale televisivo nazionale Play.me, che proprio con questa diretta aprì la neonata emittente.

Nel gennaio 2011 la band pubblica su YouTube un documentario dal titolo Un anno a sangue freddo, realizzato da Annapaola Martin e contenente mini-interviste e spezzoni live tratte dal tour del Teatro.
Nel marzo, sulla sua pagina Facebook, Capovilla comunica l'abbandono del batterista Valente e il licenziamento del chitarrista Manzan e del bassista Mantelli. Non sono date notizie sui sostituti, tranne che per il rientro al basso di Giulio Favero. Questo nuovo stravolgimento provoca diversi dibattiti tra i fan. Tuttavia, Valente rimane nel gruppo e partecipa con gli altri al Traffic Festival di Torino, l'8 luglio 2011, smentendo di fatto qualunque notizia legata al suo abbandono.

Nello stesso periodo, i diversi componenti del gruppo si dedicano ad alcuni progetti paralleli. Giulio e Pierpaolo riuniscono gli One Dimensional Man e realizzano l'album A better man, preceduto e seguito da due tour. Gionata si concede la pubblicazione di un disco solista intitolato Allusioni (La Tempesta) e si esibisce, tra l'altro, al Rivolta durante la festa dell'etichetta, il 3 dicembre. Inoltre, un quartetto composto da Capovilla (voce narrante), Giulio (campionamenti, tastiere e chitarra elettrica), Richard Tiso (contrabbasso) e Kole Laca dei 2Pigeons dà vita al progetto Eresia, reading in cui vengono proposti, in due atti, gli scritti del poeta e drammaturgo russo Vladimir Majakovskij. Lo spettacolo viene portato in teatri, club e centri sociali; la tappa svolta in occasione del MEI 2010 viene registrata e pubblicata in DVD per Auditorium Edizioni in maggio.

Il mondo nuovo
A quel punto la band si reca a Lari (provincia di Pisa), dove si dedica alle registrazione del terzo LP.
Il 22 luglio 2011 Giulio annuncia che il gruppo sta iniziando le registrazioni per il terzo album nella sua formazione originaria. Presso il SAM Recording Studio di Mirco Mencacci, i tre componenti della band iniziano le riprese delle sedici tracce del nuovo album, che saranno impreziosite dal successivo contributo di numerosi artisti, tra cui Caparezza, Appino e gli Aucan.

Il 25 novembre seguente il gruppo ha annunciato l'uscita de Il mondo nuovo prevista per il 31 gennaio 2012. Le parti di batteria, inoltre, sono state affinate da Valente presso La Sauna Studio di Varese, luogo in cui viene effettuata la post-produzione finale (ad eccezione del brano Nicolaj, missato alle Officine Meccaniche di Milano). Il disco è stato masterizzato da Matt Colton presso l'Air Studio di Londra tra il 7 e l'8 dicembre. Preceduto dalla ristampa in vinile di Dell'impero delle tenebre (24 dicembre 2011, La Tempesta), il disco esce per La Tempesta con distribuzione Universal (nell'edizione in vinile Il mondo nuovo è etichettato La Tempesta/Tannen Records con distribuzione Venus) e debutta alla posizione numero 10 della classifica ufficiale di vendita FIMI. Inoltre, l'album omaggia l'opera Il mondo nuovo di Aldous Huxley e può essere considerato un concept album sull'immigrazione. Il primo singolo estratto dal disco è Io cerco te (videoclip diretto da Mauro Lovisetto), seguito da Non vedo l'ora (video di Giulio Ragno Favero) e Cuore d'oceano (video di Chiara Feriani e Roberto D'Ippolito).

Dal 6 marzo 2012 il gruppo è in tour per promuovere l'album Il mondo nuovo e durante i live i membri della band sono accompagnati da altri due musicisti: Kole Laca (2Pigeons), che suona synth e rhodes, e Marcello Batelli (Planet Brain, Non voglio che Clara), che suona la chitarra.

Nel 2012 la band prende parte, per la prima volta, al concerto del Primo Maggio a Roma, occasione nella quale esegue i brani Non vedo l'ora, La canzone di Tom e Compagna Teresa. Il 19 maggio invece, insieme agli Afterhours, suona a L'Aquila in maniera del tutto gratuita, per far sentire la vicinanza ai cittadini colpiti dal terremoto nel 2009 e per porre l'attenzione sul fatto che i soldi raccolti tramite il progetto Domani 21/04.2009 sono ancora bloccati su un conto corrente. In agosto invece si esibisce in Ungheria, allo Sziget Festival.

Nello stesso anno il gruppo vince il PIMI (premio ideato e curato dal MEI) per il "Miglior Tour", mentre è finalista della Targa Tenco nella categoria "miglior album in assoluto". Il 30 novembre 2012 viene venduto, in allegato con xL, il CD Dal vivo, registrato appunto live. Inoltre la band collabora con i Nadàr Solo nella canzone Il vento, inserita nell'album Diversamente, come? (2013, Massive Arts).

Nel luglio 2013 la band aderisce al progetto Hai paura del buio?, promosso dagli Afterhours: si tratta di un festival culturale itinerante a cui prendono parte non solo altri musicisti (tra cui Marta sui Tubi, i Ministri, Daniele Silvestri e Verdena), ma anche attori di cinema e teatro (Antonio Rezza con Flavia Mastrella, Michele Riondino), scrittori (Chiara Gamberale, Paolo Giordano), disegnatori e ballerini.

Nel 2014 il gruppo partecipa alla riedizione dell'album Hai paura del buio? degli Afterhours interpretando il brano Dea.
Nel maggio 2014 Capovilla pubblica un album solista dal titolo Obtorto collo.

Il 14 giugno 2020, con un post nel gruppo Facebook associato alla pagina ufficiale della band, Pierpaolo Capovilla annuncia lo scioglimento de Il Teatro degli Orrori, senza, tuttavia, precisarne i motivi.

Google Street View users glimpse the deceased family on Google Maps – ABOUT MAG 2020
April 28, 2020 Paula Fonseca
Everything that is captured when the Google Street View car travels through a specific area is often cemented in Street View's pictorial history. Google Street View
"I see dead people," declared Haley Joel Osment's famous character in the 1999 film The sixth Sense. Now, 20 years later, users of Google Street View they are quoting Osment; they also see dead people – dead people they know and relate to – captured forever (or at least for now) on Google Maps.
Heart touching? Creepy? Touching and scary?
First, let's go back. Google Street View was launched in 2007, and the premise was to map the world.
SEE TOO: Google reveals top questions, news and people surveyed in 2019
Spoiler alert: the world is a big place – so some neighborhoods or areas are only mapped once. A Google car travels through areas and captures panoramic photos that are then joined. Therefore, everything that is captured when the Google Street View car travels through a specific area is often cemented in the pictorial history of Street View – a time capsule of that specific instance, a defining moment on Henri Cartier-Bresson's Google map, if you prefer.
In 2008, Google added face blur technology, which uses a computer algorithm to search for faces in Google's image database and blur them. Therefore, anyone captured on Google Street View has a blurred face.
Sometimes people wave in the Google Street View car as it passes. And sometimes those people who wave, after being photographed, end up dying. (Not because they were photographed.) Thus, there have been countless instances of people finding their loved ones deceased in these Street View images, with blurry faces.
And then, you have an embarrassing situation like this, in which Google Maps users see your grandfather dead and with a blurred face: "My grandfather passed away a few years ago. We couldn't say goodbye to him. Yesterday we discovered that Google Maps finally passed his farm and, as we were curious, where the road ends, there is my grandfather, sitting there. "
My grandfather passed away a few years ago. We couldn't say goodbye to him. Yesterday we discovered that Google Maps finally passed his farm and, as we were curious, where the road ends, there is my grandfather, sitting there. 😭 pic.twitter.com/CbwRTkCKrZ
– yajaira (@yajairalyb) January 7, 2020
This particular tweet was the catalyst for people to access Google Maps and search for the addresses of deceased people they knew – parents, grandparents, friends, enemies (you understand) … And some of these deceased people were incorporated into Google Maps by years, without the knowledge, so far, of their loved ones.
Their findings were shared on a Twitter topic. And, as the topic confirmed, people spotted dead relatives everywhere. (Archived Buzzfeed the most successful package of that.)
The Twitter topic contained not just one or two people making these Google map sightings after death, but dozens and dozens. Loved ones were seen washing cars, sitting on porches, waving, not waving, not sitting on porches, walking, etc.
And the inclusion of Google's blurry-faced technology adds a macabre and frightening quality to any case.
And it wasn't just limited to deceased friends and family; deceased pets were also seen (and the animals' faces were not blurred).
It's kind of scary. And the conclusion? Sometimes, dead people are captured on Google Street View and grandparents / pets don't live forever.
In the past, Google Map users speculated that they had captured ongoing murders, which launched a tsunami of conspiracy theories on Reddit.
In 2019, Google Earth helped to solve a 22-year-old missing man caseWhen a car was seen under the water's surface in Florida.
Google provides a map of upcoming locations where the Street View car will take pictures. Does that mean you now have a chance to immortalize your family's pet on Google Maps – or is that thought too macabre?
Again, there is also a strange aspect of Big Brother in all of this; none of these people had the option to opt out of being photographed by Google and, you know, potentially disturbing relatives for years to come.
But that's what happens when a big tech company wants to photograph the entire planet – and no one, dead or alive, has a choice.

How Do You Secure Your Vehicle? Another Word of Caution.
Technology is great. Today we have gadgets that make our lives simpler and more efficient. The problem is for every new gadget there comes potential risks, making our lives harder and more complex again, especially in today's society where too many individuals are looking for ways to rip things off and get things for free.
Today's concern for caution relates to using keychain remotes to lock and arm you vehicle. If you're like me, you hit the lock button, wait to hear the car horn sound, and walk away thinking your car is secure until you return. Ignorance is bliss, and you enjoy your evening out, only to come back and find your things missing from your car (or your car gone altogether).
How could that have happened – I know I locked and alarmed my car?
Well, burglars now sit in parking lots, watching and waiting for unsuspecting car owners to remotely lock and arm their cars. Then the thieves use a device that intercepted the remote's signal, and remotely unlock your vehicle, stealing everything within the car.
The best advice I have found so far is to go back to using the door lock buttons mounted on the door's themselves. Hit the lock button before closing the door, and then use your remote to arm the security system. A second piece of advice is to leave nothing in your car.
Isn't it terrible that we have to think about all these things in response to individuals exploiting the gadgets designed to make our lives easier and less stressful?


General Election Forecast 2015 Stealth Economic Boom - Why Opinion Polls are WRONG!
Opinion polls for the past month and earlier have consistently been putting Labour ahead by 1% - 2% which converts to Labour being the largest party in an hung parliament and therefore most likely to form the next government as indicated by a plethora of election forecasting sites such as electoralcalculus.co.uk which currently puts Labour on 298 seats to Conservatives on 267 (9th March 2015), or the New Statesman's May2015.com that puts Labour on 283 seats against Conservatives on 255 (5th March 2015).
However, virtually all of the opinion polls analysis and concluding assumptions are WRONG! For they are based on two fundamental errors.
Whenever George Osborne or David Cameron are stating that they are paying down Britain's debt, they are LYING! The same goes for Ed Milliband if he states that he will cut Britain's debt. NO GOVERNMENT DEBT IS BEING REPAID OR WILL EVER BE REPAID! Instead the truth is that the WHOLE of the economic growth (in real terms) since the May 2010 General Election and continuing into the May 2015 General Election will be wholly as a consequence of some £550 billion of additional DEBT. Again this is a very important point to note that ALL of the economic growth of this parliament is DEBT based, ALL of it, including the current election boom, the debt accrued over the 5 year term will equate to total real terms increase in GDP - virtually pound for pound which is why there is a cost of living crisis because printing money (debt) does not increase productivity, all it does is inflate the money supply.
You should realise by now that the constant drivel about the threats and risks of debt deflation are nothing more than propaganda so as to allow policies such as quantitative easing (money printing) to be more palatable to the general population so as to ensure that the Inflation Mega-trend continues.
The economic austerity fundamental error is resulting in a mass detachment from reality against what should be and that which actually is, all based on flawed economic understanding of what actually has been taking place for the past 5 years, which effectively has been a holding pattern so as the Bank of England can complete its primary mission of stuffing every orifice of its bankster brethren with cash through a multitude of mechanisms such as QE, funding for lending etc, ALL to arrive at a point when the banks once more accelerate the creation of debt money to pre crisis levels (via fractional reserve banking).
Again contrary to the overwhelming consensus view, in reality there has been no real economic austerity in Britain, for if there had been we would be in worse shape then GREECE! Look at the debt and deficit data and you will see the truth revealed that the Tories have cut NOTHING. Instead the deficit is still there and the debt has mushroomed to £1.5 trillion, up by 1/3rd on 2010 which the Bank of England has monetized with printed money. If there had been economic austerity then the UK would NOT Have borrowed £550 billion over the past 5 years! Instead as Osbourne KEEPS forecasting and then forgetting, Britain would be running a budget SURPLUS by now and not a £100 BILLION DEFICIT!
NO economic austerity directly feeds into the fact that we are in the midst of an economic boom that started early 2012 that manifested itself with the embryonic housing bull market that became a bull market proper during 2013 and has remained in 10% per annum trend trajectory since and that the stealth economic boom is primed to accelerate into an May 2015 PEAK.
Construction, construction - virtually everywhere!
The academic journalists who think they are economists reliant on ivory tower academics for their daily diatribe are literally BLIND to THIS STEALTH BOOM because it won't mostly manifest itself in economic data until AFTER the General Election! Hence why the political pundits are virtually ALL skewed in the WRONG direction and I can imagine that on election day once the exit polls are taken they will be found to be scurrying around to reinvent themselves with announcements of expectations for the Conservatives to do much better than Labour.
A number of factors are converging towards an election economic boom, some by design and some by chance such as the collapse in the oil price that has temporarily pushed the inflation rate down towards zero and probably negative just in time for the election that effectively annihilates Labours cost of living crisis election campaign issue. Again, the fall in inflation will be temporary, probably negative for a couple of months at most, any longer than that and you can start to kiss goodbye to the UK housing bull market and with it the banking system which would be BACK to 2008 crisis levels, something that Mark 'bubbles' Carney well understands.
My long standing General Election seats / house prices trend trajectory paints the following picture for a likely probable Conservative general election victory. 16 Dec 2013 - UK General Election Forecast 2015, Who Will Win, Coalition, Conservative or Labour?
The updated election seats trend graph illustrates that the Conservatives are virtually ON TRACK to achieve the forecast outcome for an outright election victory on a majority of about 30 seats which NO ONE, and I mean no serious commentators / analysts is advocating such a probability of today.
In conclusion the opinion polls are consistently under reporting the actual percentage standing of the Conservative party by at least 2%, which converts into a 4% swing FROM Labour TO Conservative that makes a huge difference in terms of seats. In fact when viewing these erroneous Labour in the lead seats projections, subtract 30 from Labour total and add it to Conservatives for that which is far more probable.

Q: ActionScript 3: How to remove EventListener with anon functions I have written code as follows.
Problem is that I can't remove Event.COMPLETE event listener and when I call the loadData function twice or more, it works 2 times or more. Sorry for my bad english and worse explanation but I need to fix it today and I don't know what to do.
I think the code is pretty obvious. please help!
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

function loadData(text_place, scrollbar, fileURL:String):void {
    text_place.wordWrap = true;
    var f:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    f.align = TextFormatAlign.RIGHT;
    text_place.setTextFormat(f);
    ldr.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
    ldr.load(new URLRequest(fileURL));
    ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function ldr_complete(evt:Event){
        initText(text_place, ldr.data, scrollbar);
    });
    ldr.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
}

function initText(text_place:TLFTextField, fileContent, scrollbar):void {
    ldr.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
    text_place.htmlText = "";
    text_place.tlfMarkup = fileContent;
    scrollbar.update();
    trace("Data loaded");
}

function loadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("Error loading an external file.");
}

A: just avoid writing function enclosures and extend the scope of the complete function's passed arguments so it can access them.
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var text_place:TextField;
var scrollbar:Object; //or whatever it is

function loadData(text_place, scrollbar, fileURL:String):void
{
    var f:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    f.align = TextFormatAlign.RIGHT;

    text_place.wordWrap = true;
    text_place.setTextFormat(f);

    scrollbar = scrollbar;

    ldr.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
    ldr.load(new URLRequest(fileURL));

    ldr.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
    ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
}

function initText(text_place:TLFTextField, fileContent, scrollbar):void
{
    removeLoaderEventListeners();

    text_place.htmlText = "";
    text_place.tlfMarkup = fileContent;

    scrollbar.update();

    trace("Data loaded");
}

function loadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{
    removeLoaderEventListeners();

    trace("Error loading an external file.");
}

function loadComplete(evt:Event):void
{
    removeLoaderEventListeners();

    initText(text_place, ldr.data, scrollbar);
}

function removeLoaderEventListeners():void
{
    ldr.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
    ldr.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
}

A: if you want to stop listening for an event after it triggered, you can unregister the anonymous listener in itself:
ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void
{
     event.target.removeEventListener(event.type, arguments.callee);
     // ... do whatever you need to do here
});

But if you also want to stop listening for other events from the same dispatcher when it completes, such as your IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR listener, you'd still need a reference to that listener to remove it.

A: There is a simpler way. Instead of removing event listeners, close the loader.
ldr.close();

Per the documentation:

Closes the load operation in progress. Any load operation in progress
  is immediately terminated. If no URL is currently being streamed, an
  invalid stream error is thrown.

Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies 2018 – Affordability, Manufactured Homes, and Modular Housing Report
June 28th, 2018 soheyla	Comments off
"Since 1988, our annual State of the Nation's Housing report has provided an overview of housing market conditions in the U.S.," said Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) to the Daily Business News via a press release.
"As we mark the 30th anniversary, this year's report not only examines recent trends, but assesses whether and how key metrics have changed over the last three decades and serves as a yardstick to measure whether or not the nation has met its goal of producing decent and affordable homes for all," said the JCHS statement.
JCHS' Executive Summary
"The inaugural State of the Nation's Housing report in 1988 noted that the majority of Americans were well housed and some conditions have improved since then. More than 40 million units have been built over the past three decades, accommodating 27 million new households, replacing older homes, and improving the quality of the nation's housing stock," said the Harvard researchers' statement.
"Homeownership rates among young adults are even lower than in 1988, and the share of cost-burdened renters is significantly higher, with almost half of all renters paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing," said the 2018 JCHS report.
"Soaring housing costs are largely to blame. The national median rent rose 20 percent faster than overall inflation between 1990 and 2016 and the median home price rose 41 percent faster," per the JCHS. "While better housing quality accounts for some of the increased costs, higher costs for building materials and labor, limited productivity gains, increased land costs, new regulatory barriers, and growing income inequality all played major roles as well."
To help busy professionals manage the length of the 44 page report – and keep it as relevant and useful as possible for manufactured housing industry professionals, investors, and researchers – what will follow are a series of unedited 'pull quotes' from the JCHS report.
Fair warning. Modular housing gets very little attention, essentially a modest mention.
HUD Code manufactured housing fares significantly better. Still, there's not a lot of details in what follows that a well informed MHProNews reader wouldn't already know.
4 Reasons for Factory-Built Home Pros to Read This JCHS Report:
The above noted, why read this? Simply because it's a million-dollar road map for a variety of reasons, but let's note 4 of them:
As noted, the university level data is like a road map – a gold-mine of the opportunities – for manufactured housing or other factory-crafted housing professionals to explore. Almost every page is a description of possible opportunities for the industry.
The State of the Nation's Housing 2018 gives an independent review of data compiled by a respected institution – Harvard – has been doing for 3 decades. Rephrased, it has credibility.
It largely confirms or clarifies dozens of reports previously shared on MHProNews from a variety of other sources.
It will be an anchor for several planned reports by MHProNews that manufactured housing advocates, investors and others will be able to rely upon.
What will follow are pull quotes, without commentary. The headings will often be our phrasing, not JCHS'. While the Daily Business News will skip some sections, the meatiest material for our audience is covered in the quotated statements below.
The 2018 JCHS entire report, complete with an array of graphics and charts, will be provided at the end of this article. We'll conclude with a hyper-brief analysis of our key takeaway from the document. Let's dive in.
"Another factor is the low level of single-family construction. Despite six consecutive years of increases, single-family starts stood at just 849,000 units in 2017, well below the long-run annual average of 1.1 million. Indeed, only 610,000 single-family homes were added to the stock annually in 2008–2017…
Along with limited land, respondents to builder surveys cite rising input costs as adding to the difficulty of constructing entry-level homes. As a result, the share of smaller homes (under 1,800 square feet) built each year fell from 50 percent in 1988 to 36 percent in 2000 to 22 percent in 2017. Of this latest drop, 9 percentage points occurred in 2010–2013 alone…
Unlike single-family homebuilding, multifamily construction ramped up quickly after the crash as rental demand surged. From a low of 109,000 units in 2009, construction of multifamily units peaked at 397,000 starts in 2015 and accounted for more than half the gains in housing starts over that period. However, the multifamily construction wave is now moderating, with starts down 1 percent in 2016 and 10 percent in 2017…
This slowdown comes in response to both weaker overall rental demand and increasing slack at the upper end of the market…
Indeed, the cumulative effect of strong growth in housing costs and modest gains in household incomes has left nearly half of today's renters with cost burdens, including a quarter with severe burdens. The rising cost of homes for sale also raises downpayment and closing costs, making it more difficult for individuals and families to make the transition to owning…
National efforts are necessary to close the affordability gap. Housing policymakers have many opportunities to address the cost side of the equation, including the increasing size and quality of homes; lack of productivity improvements in the residential construction sector; escalating costs of labor, building materials, and land; and barriers created by a complex and restrictive regulatory system. However, tackling this broad mix of conditions will require collaboration of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in a comprehensive strategy that fosters innovation in the design, construction, financing, and regulation of housing…
But even if successful, these efforts will not produce decent, afford- able homes for the millions of households that simply cannot pay enough to cover the costs of producing that housing. For these families and individuals, there will always be a need for public subsidies. The federal government's failure to respond adequately to this large and growing challenge puts millions of households at risk of housing instability and the threats it poses to basic health and safety. Many state and local governments are doing their part to expand assistance, but a more robust federal response is essential to any meaningful progress in combatting the nation's housing affordability crisis…"
Page 8 Before Manufactured Housing Gets Mentioned
(Bold Added for Emphasis. one editorial note is made)
"Nonetheless, entry-level housing still accounts for a small share of new construction. Only 163,000 small single-family homes were completed in 2016, or 22 percent of single-family construction— down significantly from the 33 percent share averaged in 1999–2007. Moreover, manufactured home shipments totaled just 93,000 units in 2017, far below the 291,000 annual average in the 1990s and even the 137,000 annual average in the 2000s…
The only JCHS graphic that specifically mentions manufactured housing.
"Modest-sized homes are considerably more affordable for first-time and middle-market buyers. According to the Survey of Construction, the median price for a small home sold in 2016 was $191,700. The average sales price for a new manufactured home in 2017 was even lower, at $72,000. By comparison, the median price for all other single-family homes was $324,700 in 2016…
"With few additions of smaller units, most modestly priced homes are found in the existing housing stock. Indeed, small homes make up nearly half of single-family homes. In 2015, there were 37.3 million single-family homes under 1,800 square feet. The stock of small homes is generally older, with nearly two-thirds (65 percent) built before 1980 compared with 43 percent of larger homes…"
"Manufactured housing is prevalent primarily in the South, where some 58 percent of the 6.6 million units nationwide are located. Another 21 percent are in the West, 14 percent in the Midwest, and just 7 percent in the Northeast. Nearly two-thirds of manufactured housing shipments between 2009 and 2017 were also to the South."
Daily Business News Notice: A more common figure used for all pre-HUD Code and post-HUD Code MH is roughly 8.8 million units. What possibly explains the difference? Because about 1 out of 5 MH are mobile homes, not manufactured homes. We've reached out to Harvard and ask for that number to be clarified, and will update once received.
"As a result, manufactured homes make up 9 percent of the total housing stock in the South, with especially large shares in South Carolina (16 percent) and in West Virginia and Mississippi (14 percent each). While the share in other regions is only 4 percent, a few states also have high concentrations of manufactured housing, including New Mexico (17 percent) and Wyoming (13 percent). Manufactured housing also provides 14 percent of homes in non-metro communities, more than double the share in the country as a whole."
4 Prime Factors Hamper Housing Growth
"First is the shortage of skilled workers. In a 2017 survey of homebuilders, 82 percent of respondents cited the cost and availability of labor as a significant problem…
Second, the cost of building materials has risen…"
Third, developed land has become scarcer. Metrostudy data for 98 metro areas indicate that the number of vacant developed lots declined from 1.26 million in 2008 to just 802,000 in 2017…
Finally, local zoning and other land use regulations can reduce the amount of new construction by constraining the type and density of new housing allowed…
"Modular housing, constructed in factory conditions before being transported and assembled on site, could provide at least part of the answer. Including the value of land, the median price for a new modular unit was $217,200 in 2016—nearly $90,000 less than for a new site-built home. To date, however, homebuilders have been slow to adopt this innovation, with only 15,000 modular homes added in 2016. Indeed, modular housing has never accounted for more than 4 percent of single-family construction in the United States. By comparison, modular housing accounts for 9 percent of new homes in Germany, 12–16 percent in Japan, and 20 percent in the Netherlands."
It is interesting to note that the rate of home ownership began to rise during the time after the 2016 election. Several confidence surveys have reflected growing consumer and business confidence, which has yielded more home purchases vs. renting.
Housing – The Outlook
"The housing sector faces significant challenges in the short term. Labor shortages, rising materials costs, limited land availability, and land-use regulations are all holding down growth in new residential construction. Meanwhile, inventories of existing homes for sale are at all-time lows, pushing up prices and making homebuying more difficult, especially for low- and moderate-income households…
With its oldest members now in their late 20s and early 30s, the millennial generation is forming new households in greater numbers and moving to different states in search of opportunity. At the same time, nearly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, raising the average age of US households. Although wealth is growing, homeowners and those at the top have captured most of the gains, and millions of households have little or no wealth. Going forward, immigration will become an increasingly large, albeit unpredictable, source of population growth and therefore housing demand…"
Immigration and Housing
"According to Census Bureau data, the number of foreign- born households more than doubled from 7.7 million in 1990 to 17.8 million in 2016, accounting for more than a third of the growth in households over that time…"
Housing and Minorities

"Minorities made up half of the nation's low-wealth households in 2016, up from 39 percent in 1995. They also accounted for more than three-quarters of the growth in low-wealth households between 1995 and 2016. Indeed, as the number of minority house- holds increased over this long span, the shares with low wealth remained consistently high at 52 percent for blacks, 49 percent for Hispanics, and 30 percent for Asians and other minorities. Meanwhile, the share among whites also remained steady at a relatively low 22 percent…"
Interstate Migration
"Resuming past trends, total net domestic migration to the Southeastern states of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas rebound- ed from a low of 86,000 in 2009 to 317,000 in 2017. Meanwhile, domestic outflows from the Northeast and Midwest continued to increase in 2017. The three states with the largest net domestic outflows—California, Illinois, and New York—lost 443,000 residents to domestic migration in 2017, more than double the 207,000 net losses in 2011…"
Homeownership Rates
To see a sample of our emailed news update, click here. To sign up for the factory-built home industry's #1 headline news, click here or the graphic above.
"The national homeownership rate ticked up in 2017 for the first time in 13 years, buoyed by growth in the number of homeowner households. Despite the ongoing rise in home prices, low interest rates have helped to keep monthly housing costs relatively affordable for new homeowners. Still, the upward climb of interest rates, limited inventory of homes for sale, widespread increases in student loan debt, and insufficient savings for downpayments raise important concerns about the ability of many potential buyers to access homeownership…"
Rising Prices but Relative Affordability
"Continuing a steady upward climb, the nominal median sales price of existing homes increased from $233,800 in 2016 to $247,200 in 2017…
In the high-cost Los Angeles market, for example, a household with the area median income would be able to afford the monthly mortgage payments on only 11 percent of recently sold homes. And because these homes include studio apartments and other small units suitable for only one or two people, the affordable options for families are even more limited. By contrast, even a low- income (bottom-quartile) household in Pittsburgh would be able to afford 26 percent of recently sold homes. Such dramatic differences in affordability contribute to large disparities in homeownership across metro areas. Of the nation's 50 largest metros, Pittsburgh has the highest homeownership rate of 70 percent, while Los Angeles has the lowest rate of 48 percent…"
"The FHA and VA shares of home purchase loan originations have also leveled out in recent years following a significant jump during the foreclosure crisis (Figure 24). Indeed, even as the number of 1–4 unit, first-lien, owner-occupied mortgage originations rose from 2.7 million in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2016, the FHA share remained near 20–25 percent. While down sharply from the high of 41 percent in 2009, the FHA share is still well above the 6 percent low in 2005. The VA share held at 10 percent in 2016, up from 2 percent in 2005. Meanwhile, the conventional share of originations stayed close to 60 percent…"
As a reminder to MHProNews readers, the GAO reported that manufactured housing is less costly than typical rent, so this type of data, while troubling for the nation, is an opportunity for manufactured housing industry professionals and investors.
"…However, survey evidence points to continued strong interest in homeowning. The 2018 Survey of Consumer Expectations found that 67 percent of renters would prefer or strongly prefer to own homes assuming they had the financial resources to do so. Only 19 percent would prefer or strongly prefer to rent. Moreover, 61 percent of renters think buying a home in their ZIP code today is a somewhat or very good investment, and just 12 percent believe it is a somewhat or very bad investment…
The Survey of Consumer Finances shows that the median net worth of renters was just $5,000 in 2016, about the same in real terms as in both 1995 and 2007. Moreover, fewer than one in three renters had more than $10,000 in financial assets, and only 21 percent had more than $25,000. As a result, only a small share would be able to cover even a 3.5 percent downpayment and 2 percent closing costs on a median- priced home, which amounted to $13,596 in 2016…"
"There are signs that the rental market is cooling, although primarily at the upper end. The number of multifamily starts declined slightly over the past year, and expanding supplies of new luxury apartments pushed up vacancy rates, helping to slow rent growth. Although the number of high-income renters is still growing, lower rentership rates among key groups—particularly younger households—may indicate a turn toward homeownership. Meanwhile, the supply of rentals affordable to the nation's lowest- income households continues to shrink…
The Survey of Construction indicates that nearly half of the rentals completed in 2016 were in buildings with 50 or more units, compared with just 13 percent in 1999. Most other new units were in buildings with at least five apart- ments. In addition, 86 percent of new apartments in 2016 were in properties with swimming pools, up from 69 percent in 1990. Some 89 percent of new units in 2016 also had in-unit laundry services, significantly higher than the 61 percent share of existing units with this amenity…
Both rising construction costs and added amenities have pushed up asking rents. The nominal asking rent for new apartments increased average rents for new units in certain major metros (including Chicago, Miami, and Washington, DC) were $2,000 or higher."
Several sources have pointed to appreciation in manufactured housing too, but that isn't addressed in this report. There is a marked rise in the value of manufactured home land-lease communities in recent years, but that is also not mentioned in this report..
Easing at the High End of Rentals
"The national vacancy rate for all rental units averaged 7.2 percent in the year ending in the first quarter of 2018, up 0.3 percentage point from a year earlier. But the rate for rental units built since 2010, as measured by the Housing Vacancy Survey, hit 21 percent in 2017. While not unprecedented compared with the rates for similarly new units in 2007 and 2008, this high vacancy rate far exceeds the 15 percent reported a year earlier…"
Shortfall in Lower Cost Rentals
"The nation's supply of low-cost rental housing shrank significantly after the Great Recession and has remained essentially unchanged since 2015. A National Low Income Housing Coalition study found that for every 100 extremely low-income renters, only 35 rental units were affordable and available in 2016—a nationwide shortfall of more than 7.2 million units (Figure 29). Conditions for very low-income renter households were little better, with 56 affordable and available rentals per 100 households…"
Housing Cost Burdens
"More than 38 million US households have housing cost burdens, leaving little income left to pay for food, healthcare, and other basic necessities. As it is, federal housing assistance reaches only a fraction of the large and growing number of low-income households in need. Between the shortage of subsidized housing and the ongoing losses of low-cost rentals through market forces, low-income households have increasingly few housing options. Meanwhile, the rising incidence and intensity of natural disasters pose new threats to the housing stocks of entire communities…
About a third of the households in metropolitan areas struggle to find affordable housing (Figure 35)…
Threats To The Affordable Supply
"The National Low Income Housing Coalition reports that the gap between supply and demand for rental units affordable and avail- able to very low-income households is 7.7 million…"
"HUD's Annual Homeless Assessment Report shows that nearly 554,000 people were living in shelters or on the street on a given night in January 2017…"
State and Local Initiatives
"According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition database, about 100 state and local programs provide either tenant-based assistance or capital support for affordable rental housing development…"
Housing Losses to Natural Disasters
"The 16 major disaster events in 2017 caused a record-setting $306 billion in damages. These events caused destruction of hundreds of thousands of homes and widespread displacement of households across California, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Texas. In Puerto Rico alone, storms destroyed or severely damaged an estimated 472,000 housing units…
FEMA direct assistance filled some of the gaps for households without flood insur- ance, providing financial help for 1.6 million households…
The rebuilding process has its own challenges. The three states with significant disaster damage last year—California, Florida, and Texas—have large populations of undocumented immigrants, households that are unlikely to apply for assistance in fear of depor- tation. In Puerto Rico, relief is complicated by the fact that much of the housing stock was built without permits or without regard to building codes…
Recovery will no doubt be long…"
MHProNews Analysis in Brief
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) Chief Economist Lawrence Yun has noted before that the nation needs some 8.3 million housing units. What Harvard's annual report indicates are an array of other facts that point to tens of millions of possible opportunities for forward thinking HUD Code manufactured housing and modular builders.

Earlier today, in the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) noted their request to have multi-family housing units approved by HUD.
Manufactured Housing Program Review Addressed by HUD Secretary Carson during Oversight Hearing
Harvard didn't in this report look at specific issues such as acceptance, financing, political, zoning, or any other reasons why manufactured housing wasn't performing better than it is. That said, their report uses correct terminology, and is on balance, respectful of the industry. Harvard's Eric Belksy has been cited before as saying he expected manufactured housing to surpass conventional housing by 2010. We know that didn't happen, some of the debatable reasons why are linked in related reports below.
But the bottom line is this. There are millions of housing units needed now, and millions more that will be needed in the years ahead. With the proper approaches, the opportunities are available. With hundreds of billions in capital pouring into the U.S. the best time in about 2 decades to tap those opportunities may be right now.

HARTLAND NEWS
'He never wasn't thinking about the community': Jim McLoone, founder of Lake Country Publications, dies at 91
Evan Frank
After Jim McLoone sold his newspaper business in Stewartville, Minnesota, in 1960, he and his wife, Mary, moved their family to Wisconsin.
"They ended up in Hartland, went to Holy Hill and fell in love with the area," son John said. "There was a Hartland, a Pewaukee and a Delafield paper. They were all kind of separate and he combined them into the Lake Country Reporter. He really grew that into being one of the nicest publications in the state."
Jim McLoone, the founder of Lake Country Publications, spent 48 years in the weekly newspaper business. He died April 9 in his home at the age of 91.
In 1960, Jim McLoone's Lake Country Reporter had a circulation of 1,700. When he sold to Journal Communications in 1990, his network of publications had grown to a circulation of more than 100,000.
At one time, Jim McLoone owned and published the Lake Country Reporter, Mukwonago Chief, the Kettle Moraine Index, Sussex Sun and Oconomowoc Focus, along with two shoppers.
"It was fun to watch him work," John McLoone said. "He never wasn't thinking about the community. As kids, we loaded up the car every weekend and we went to every pancake breakfast, every chicken feed, any community event. He made sure we were at everything. He had an incredible sense of community."
Jim McLoone, a Korean War veteran, was a hands-on publisher and owner, according to Chuck Delsman, who Jim hired in 1969 to build up the paper's sports section.
"In my mind, knowing what he taught me about the newspaper business, he was the best newspaperman the state has ever had," Delsman said. "And the success of his business proved that. Jim is the most influential person in my life, other than my mother. I owe so much to him. For what he did for me and for my career is something I'll always be indebted to him for. He was a great mentor and we always had a mutual admiration for each other."
John McLoone said his father was devoted to the newspaper business and made sure his family was as well.
"Every one of us from an early age on had paper routes," John McLoone said. "I still only refer to myself as the paper boy because that's what I was first. Every one of us worked at the press, every one of us inserted papers. We did it all. ... It was a big part of our family, and it was a great part of our family."
Scott Peterson worked for Jim from 1980-90, beginning as a reporter and ultimately managing editor for all of Jim's papers.
"I am not sure I ever worked harder or had more fun in journalism than I did working for Jim McLoone," said Peterson, who was later the editor-in-chief of the Waukesha-based Now Newspapers and an editor within the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newsroom. "He gave me my first job out of college as a reporter 40 years ago and I have been indebted to him ever since for getting me started in this great career.
"Even long after he sold his chain of Waukesha County newspapers to Journal Communications Inc. in 1990, he remained supportive. That is what it was like to work for Jim. He and his lovely wife Mary had a big family of eight kids and working for him was like being part of his family."
After selling Lake Country Publications, Jim McLoone edited the "50 Plus" news magazine and was a contributor and proofreader for other publications owned by the family. Jim McLoone was inducted into the Wisconsin Newspaper Hall of Fame in 2002.
"He loved (Lake Country) and I think the readers loved him back," John McLoone said.
Along with Mary, Jim McLoone is survived by his children, Pat, Maureen, Sheila, Katie, John, Mary and James. He was preceded in death by one daughter, Bridget.
A celebration of life for Jim McLoone is planned for June.

Game Developers Conference 2010 organizers have opened registration for the March 9th-13th event, confirming Social Game and iPhone Summits and revealing newly reduced price options for event passes.
Game Developers Conference organizers have announced that the call for submissions is open for the 2010 event's suite of Summits, which take place on the first two days of GDC in San Francisco, March 9th-10th 2010.
Game Developers Conference China 2009 organizers have announced almost 3,000 attendees in total for the Shanghai-based event, which ended on Tuesday, revealing plans to hold GDC China 2010 next December.
The event ended on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at the Shanghai International Convention Center. According to organizers, it brought together over 900 conference, media, and speaking attendees and over 2,000 expo attendees.
The Independent Games Festival (IGF) Mobile, the premiere venue that celebrates creativity and innovation on handheld platforms, has opened submissions for its third annual festival.
Game Developers Conference China has announced its lineup of speakers from noted industry players including Blizzard Entertainment, Maxis, EA DICE and many more. Think Services, a division of United Business Media will present GDC China at the Shanghai Convention Center, October 11-13 of this year.
So it's only September, and the main 2010 Game Developers Conference is being held from March 9th-13th, 2010. How much work can actually go into the conference this early, you might be asking?
Well, those who noticed the Call For Papers that the GDC organizers already held, we get started pretty early with lecture submissions and grading. And that's a cue for me to boot up this column and explain what happens behind the velvet (iron? velcro?) curtain. I'll be updating regularly with the GDC Advisory Board's perspective over the next few weeks and months.
One initial point that is worth making strongly. I know that in some conferences (both outside the game industry and in), the Advisory Board can take a much smaller role in actually directly picking the content.
But one of the reasons that Game Developers Conference is so well respected, I believe, is that all of the talks are either empirically chosen from submissions, or carefully and specifically invited by the official GDC Advisory Board. The GDC organizers don't pick your talk -- key members of your own peer group pick your talk.
GDC China organizers have announced that Prince Of Persia franchise creator, game designer, and screenwriter Jordan Mechner will deliver a keynote address at the 2009 Game Developers Conference China in Shanghai next month.
The organizers of GDC Austin 2009 have announced a partnership with the Austin Museum of Digital Art to show two notable video game-related documentaries at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema during next week's Game Developers Conference in Austin -- one of them a U.S. cinema premiere.
The Game Developers Conference Austin (GDC Austin) features lectures, panels and roundtables for developers looking to release successful titles in the burgeoning connected gaming space, and this year's conference has added final sessions from notable game developers at Nexon, Bioware Austin, 2D Boy, Zynga, CCP Games and many others.
Think Services, organizer of the Game Developers Conference (also parent of Gamasutra), has announced its advisory board for the October 11th-13th GDC China event in Shanghai.
Organizers of the newly announced IGF China event, intended to expose Asia-Pacific indie game innovation, have announced judges for the satellite event taking place in Shanghai this October.
2009 GDC Austin organizers have announced its final keynote, with Playfish co-founder Sebastien de Halleux (Pet Society) talking about Facebook and social network gaming at the September 15th-18th conference.
2009 GDC Europe organizers announced that the three day pre-GamesCom event in Cologne saw nearly 1,500 game professional attendees, with the event's return confirmed for August 16-18, 2010.
Due to popular demand, GDC organizers have extended the call for submissions for next March's 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, the pre-eminent game creation conference, to next Tuesday, August 18th, for those game developers and businesspeople wanting to submit simple abstracts.
2009 GDC Austin organizers have announced a raft of new lectures as the August 13th early registration deadline nears, with Metaplace's Raph Koster and Zynga's Brandon Barber joining keynotes from Blizzard and SOE at the September 15th-18th conference.

The first thing I noticed upon entering the room were the boxes of tissues strategically placed under dozens of chairs arranged for the mourners.
It was December 2015 in San Bernardino, California, and the room would soon fill with heartbroken families who were to receive a briefing on the details surrounding the terrorist attack that had just claimed the lives of their loved ones. It was a somber scene similar to those that would soon play out in the aftermath of tragedies in Orlando, Las Vegas, Parkland, and most recently in Santa Fe, Texas, this month.
Although the main speakers were law enforcement officials leading the investigation, navigating the room that day were a group of frequently unseen heroes: the victim specialists whose sole mission is to advocate for and comfort those impacted by crime. It is this group that has the solemn task of caring for the needs of victims and their families long after major tragedies recede from the headlines.
Once the briefing had concluded that day in San Bernardino, those who wished to visit and reflect outside the building where the tragedy had taken place were escorted by police motorcade to the crime scene.
After the lead FBI forensics agent on the case sympathetically outlined how the attack had unfolded, a bereaved man turned to the victim advocate standing next to me and asked if she would place a memento on the location where his loved one had died, which was roped off to the families. The victim advocate agreed, and, returning past the police tape, embraced the man, providing a shoulder to cry on for what seemed like an eternity.
As I watched, a woman farther away slowly went to her knees and began sobbing. One of the FBI's crisis response canines -- an English Labrador retriever whose job in part is to help victims cope with tragedies -- walked up to the woman and licked her face. Startled, she looked up, her crying quickly turning to laughter, and she pulled the dog in for a hug.
As this was all happening, several news helicopters suddenly appeared above us, unknowingly interrupting a solemn moment for the victims' families. "Make them go away," an FBI victim specialist whispered, shooting me a look indicating this was not a request. I quickly made a couple of calls to the nearby law enforcement public information officers, and, incredibly, within minutes the helicopters seemed to bank at once and disappear into the horizon.
While I had previously heard of victim advocates, I never truly appreciated their vital role until working alongside them as a special agent with the FBI. Although my job that day in San Bernardino was to help coordinate the flow of information between the field and FBI headquarters in Washington, I had previously worked countless cases around the world with victim specialists who served as critical members of our investigative teams.
Although victim advocates are known for their compassion, they are far from shrinking violets. I can recall one instance in particular when a victim specialist called me in the middle of the night, asking if I had any information we could relay to the daughter of a victim injured in a bombing overseas. When I demurred, citing the need to protect the integrity of the investigation, she replied in very forceful terms, "Remember that providing updates to those impacted by crime is not simply something we do when convenient, it is the law!"
Ask any law enforcement officer who has the toughest job, and you'll hear from most that this unceremonious title goes not to the officer on the street, nor the first responder approaching danger, but to the specialists who must look victim family members in the eyes day in and day out after a tragedy and help them somehow make sense of it.
It has now been over a week since most of my CNN colleagues and I returned from reporting on the recent school shooting in Santa Fe. Although the law enforcement tactical teams and news vans have since departed, let us not forget the ongoing, behind-the-scenes efforts of the victim specialists who continue to help those grieving from this tragedy and countless others, and whose work may sadly never be over.


Sergio Aguero "feels better" and could be fit for Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final first leg with Tottenham, Pep Guardiola says.
City's top scorer has not featured since the 2-0 Premier League win against Fulham at Craven Cottage nine days ago, where he was on target during the first half but substituted with a muscular complaint before the hour.
Aguero's understudy Gabriel Jesus converted an early diving header to give Pep Guardiola's side a 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday to maintain their challenge for a historic quadruple.
The Brazil international could be required from kick-off once more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday, although Aguero did take part in training with his team-mates at the Valley on Sunday as City remained in London to undertake their preparations.
Speaking about Aguero's fitness, Guardiola told a pre-match news conference: "He feels better, he trained with the team for the first time and feels better."
Aguero, 30, has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season and boasts an impressive return of 10 in 13 matches versus Spurs.
That includes all four in a 4-1 win at the Etihad Stadium in October 2014, although he is without a goal in his past six appearances against Mauricio Pochettino's men.
Guardiola's other main fitness concerns come at full-back after ex-Tottenham man Kyle Walker was substituted at half-time due to a back injury against Brighton, though he did manage to train alongside his teammates at the Valley on Sunday.
Benjamin Mendy made his first competitive start since knee surgery in November during the semi-final and could be called upon again because Oleksandr Zinchenko remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Guardiola added: "I think Kyle feels a little bit better – we'll see now – and Benjamin recovered quite well, I think.
"The doctor didn't tell me the opposite so I think they will be possible contenders [for Tuesday]."
After Tuesday's first leg, City return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday before their return leg with Tottenham at Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.

This is what we call our light modifier kit. It's in a Versa Flex case and it's got everything we'd ever need in it.
We've got Road Rags . I'll tell you a little bit about the Road Rags . Road Rags are items that we can set up to flag the light. We have translucent, we have full black, and we have two degrees of light reduction that would cut down the sun. They are labeled with my name and phone number.
The great things about the Road Rags kit is that they are completely compact and set up into a frame, which is really nice. Then what we can do is slip on a translucent, so we slip on a translucent here, snap this like that. What's really nice is this will knock the sun down and turn the sun into a light soft box. What you'll notice and what's important is the road rags do not have a frame on this edge, so this edge here or this edge would cause a shadow. This edge does not cause a shadow, just a natural fall off from diffused light to hard light onto the subject.
The same holds true with the second one. Each of them is labeled Flag one and Flag two. So the nice thing about this and we use this on shoots a lot when we're working with our Porty's when we're out using a big soft box on our subject we'll use this to cut down the sun just so its not as harsh on our subjects. Again noticing there is no edge up here providing a natural fall off. Again, the sun will go through but it will cut the light down. The same holds true for a complete blackout and even an additional density.
So that's actually the small Road Rags kit. And see 18x24, everything on here is labeled and has a tag laminated with the item number so we know what belongs in here, contact information as well. The last thing I want to do is lose a light flag kit.
This is our larger Road Rags Kit. It is identical to the other one, it is just much larger. As you can see here the frames come out and it goes together almost by itself, but it is much wider. The Road Rags that we showed you, the 18x24 really works well for one person. If you have to use a two person flag where you are cutting the light down or making it translucent, this is the frame to use.
It has the full blackout color as well as the two diffusions. What's nice about this is they are color coded so if you're using green on this it's the same density on this as the other one, and you also have translucent. You also have two wire frames as a full Road Rags kit. They slip on very easily. Again, you'll notice the red density is much darker and much less translucent then the green.
So it just depends on how much light you are trying to cut of when using one of these. And you'll notice the difference in size, this one works really well for one person, this one works really well for two people.
Next up is our Plume Strip 100; a strip is a much narrower soft box. Its length is the same; in a Plume 100 the length is 38 inches, however instead of being 28 inches wide it's just 14 or half the distance. As I said we keep packed in the kit the Chimera quick release speed ring so we know we have the speed rings that we need when we're out on a shoot.
Also packed in here is the wafer that Plume talks about. This one has been gently used but still works just fine. In addition packed in here is the front diffusion panel. Again notice that it is much narrower but still the same length as a normal soft box. This is the back cowling; the cowling goes over the back of the soft box.
Packed in here as well is the egg crate. This egg crate goes over the front of the soft box making sure the light goes only where you want it and not where you don't. Because we never know what soft boxes we are going to need, these are very compartmentalized, everything is stored all together so we can just grab a full kit and go to where we need to. So that's our Plume Strip 100. Its 14 inches wide and 38 inches long.
Next we'll go to the Plume 100, which is 30x39. Again packed in here is the Chimera quick release speed ring. Also packed in here is the wafer, the egg crates for this particular soft box is of course much larger and fabric so you can just get the light going where you want it to go. Also in here is the soft box, the cowling, and the front diffusion panel. Again it all packs nicely and neatly into the kit here.
We also have the Plume Strip 140. Again packed inside are the wafers, the diffusion panel. Also we have the ability to go even narrower on the Plume Strip 140 so that your light is actually a very, very narrow, narrow swath so that you can have a very long swath with a very narrow strip of light that you couldn't normally get.
Also packed in here are our light tools. Again our light tools, very narrow yet very long. All of this packs very nicely and neatly back in here. So that's the Plume Strip 140.
Next up is our straight Plume 140. It's not the strip; it's of course the wider one. speed ring, diffusion panel, wafers, and the egg crates, the soft box, wands, and the cowling, everything packs very neatly. So that's the Plume 140.
This is the Plume Strip 200. It's an extremely large soft box but it's extremely narrow. The wands actually come in more then one piece because of the way the whole entire soft box goes together.
But in addition in here, the front diffusion panel, the wafer, the back cowling, we actually have to pack the grid separate because it is such a large grid, but it stays in here as well. This is the Plume Strip 200.
This is the Hexo 180. In the Hexo 180, in addition to the soft box we have the speed ring, front diffusion panel, and the wafer that goes in the center. All of that packs nicely and neatly. We do not have a light tools kit for this soft box because they just don't make them, it such a big soft box.
Our last soft box is what I like to call the mother of all soft boxes. If Plume made one this big, I would own it. But since they don't I had to go to the Chimera line. This is the Chimera line 5-7.
It can be in either the 5 foot or the 7 foot configuration and its just massive, packed in here is the soft box itself along with the extra extension that makes the 7 actually a 7, it adds 2 feet to the outside of the soft box.
So you get 2 front diffusion panels, one for the 7, one for the 5, and Chimera also has they're own brand of an inner baffold, you can see Chimera has put in varying densities of diffusion material so that the light comes out less in the center and more on the outside. It's a different configuration then the Plume wafer, I prefer the Plume wafer in terms of the diffusion material that they are using inside is just a better solution then this.
But since I can't get this in a Plume series, I've gone with the Chimera, which is a great solution and I use it all the time. Chimera line 5-7 also has 2 completely separate packs that allow us to use the egg crates as well.
These are massive egg crates if you can imagine a 7 foot egg crate, its just one massive crate here, but its all really compact and its really great to travel with. It gives you such control over your light, even when you have such a large light source.
So we have a 5-foot and a 7-foot egg crate for 2 different sizes depending on how we set the soft box up. So that's our soft box or our light modifier kit.
In addition to all this we do have some very, very small soft boxes and we have a very large reflector packed in here.
What's nice about this reflector, its an Amvona reflector, is that its silver, very large, subtracted black on the other side, and what's really cool is that you can zip off the silver and go to gold, white, or translucent. So it's a multi functional light modifier that packs up into a really small space.
So the Amvona just tucks into the top of the lid and with a little bit of effort it all packs nice and neatly into this Versa Flex case. We also make sure this case fits in airline specs as far as weight is concerned.
This case just below 75 pounds falls well within the 100-pound weight limit that most airlines have. This case also has a set of wheels and wands. A wheel on either side and they screw together and will allow us to roll this case from point A to point B when we don't have 2 people to carry it.

Q: {{#if currentUser}} with icon inside still rendered when user logs out Thank you for reading my message, here is my problem :
I'm using a navbar made with Bulma in which I display either login/register buttons or a profile picture icon from FontAwesome using {{#if currentUser}} as shown below ("S'inscrire" and "Se connecter" means register and login in French) :

            {{#if currentUser}}

            {{else}}

                    S'inscrire

                Se connecter
            {{/if}}

When the user is not logged in it only show the buttons :

And when he logs in I have only the icon :

My problem is that when user logs out, I got both user icon and buttons :

and if I log in and out multiple times I get multiple icons.
Looks like it's a problem with FontAwesome icon, I've tried with a normal image instead of the icon and it behaved normally, but I need to use icons inside this type of statement in some place of my app.
Thanks in advance !

A: This is because font awesome 5 replaces the  tag with an svg which will break your code reactivity if it's not wrapped inside another flow element. Try wrapping the  with a  in order to keep the reactivity going:

You could also make this a short stateless template:
<template name="icon">

</template>

and call it like
{{>icon name="user" large=true id="userProfile"}}
