After reading the comments on the Forums, Facebook and by E-mail we have revised our plan and are now getting ready for the launch.
1) We already have a bunch of the required 3D models made which will speed up the process to molds.
2) North, South, and CEF models can be used in any faction as allies and are the iconic factions of the game.
3) This allows us to place a reliable delivery date of November 2015.
We have also amended our plan to give stretch goal rewards to all Core Starter Set Backers.
We believe that being an early supporter should be encouraged so we are setting our reward levels so that the early Core Starter Set Backers will get their rewards shipped out in the first wave. Sign up for the Core Starter Set early to lock in your shipping order and watch as stretch goals bolster your forces!
The first goal of this Kickstarter is to fund the molds required to make a new two player starter set including 16 high quality plastic miniatures, with four different models from 2 factions. Our old two player starter kit only included 6 pewter miniatures and had a high price point due to the material costs. Plastic has a very high mold cost, but a low material cost, as Backers help us cover the mold costs we'll be able to put more into the start set. Further stretch goals would allow us to upgrade it and transform it into our desired plastic starter set of 46 miniatures, including a variety of eighteen different models from 4 factions and up to four players.
Reaching all our stretch goals will allow us to give our Backers even more, with 52 miniatures, twenty-four different models, for the cost of the Core Starter Set.
All unlocked models will also be available at a special price for this Kickstarter to all backers as add-ons for purchase.
The Kickstarter will be going live the week of October 20th and we look forward to your support.
16 plastic miniatures (1 Northern GP Squad of 4x Hunter Gear, 1 Northern Strike Squad of 4x Jaguar Gear, 1 Southern GP Squad of 4x Jager Gear, 1 Southern Strike Squad of 4x Black Mamba Gear), plus Stretch Goals.

Inspired by her visit to the SEYMOUR+ space, Raphaële, widely renowned for her distinctive, machine-free, handpoke method, will invite her community to come experience the SEYMOUR+ space prior to getting tattooed.
Raphaële has also collaborated with Melissa Unger on the creation of a site specific interactive installation that will be on view at SEYMOUR+ from March 24th to June 21st 2017.
If the universe inside you were to be contained in just one symbol, what would that symbol be?
If they chose to do so, they can then go further by making an appointment with Raphaële to have it tattooed on their skin.
Raphaële Cellier was born in France. Her heritage is French, with traces of Ashkenazi, and some Spanish anarchist roots. She grew up in the Paris area and started out in literary studies before turning toward art and attending ENSAPC (École d'Arts de Paris-Cergy) from which she graduated in 2012. Every chance she gets, she travels; to Peru, Asia, long stays in China and all over Europe. She is fascinated by the many different ways one can see the world, and equally curious about her own 'otherness'. For the past few years she has developed an interest in holistic and energetic medicine, and as a result, her tattoo practice is nourished by both her arts background and her vital interest in caring for others.


The Artist turns planning into a work of art. Every page of this person's bullet journal is a little piece of art in and of itself, from decorative borders and beautifully hand lettered daily headings to entire spreads. Think of The Artist as somebody who uses their bullet journal as a sketchbook—to plan and to push themselves as an artist, all in one place.

Each finished page can make you feel accomplished—you've planned and organized your life, and it looks beautiful too!
Bullet journaling this way can make sure that you're creating art every single day.
This is a great way to stretch yourself as an artist! Each new spread can be a new challenge, your own creative 'prompt.' You can challenge yourself to create a whole new style every week. Or you can create themed months. For instance, if you want to get better at drawing tropical plants, you can challenge yourself to create one every day for the month of March. Or as a calligrapher or hand letterer, you can create a new style of calligraphy every month and practice it every day (I have a blog post about how to get started doing this, too!). This way, at the end of the year you have twelve of your very own new styles to work with, all of which you are very skilled at!

Setup time can be extensive, which may prevent The Artist from planning at all on busy weeks.
Feels pressured to make each page beautiful, so when creativity is lacking, Artists may feel too daunted to start drawing or planning. This goes hand-in-hand with "fear of the blank page," and feeling paralyzed by the prospect of making a mistake that will ruin a spread.
Image by @feebujo on Instagram, one of my very favorite accounts for bullet journal inspiration—go give them some love!
Create room for daily creation, and don't get in a rut—try new things! At the beginning of the year (or every 6 months), plan new ways to utilize your bullet journal to its greatest potential for both planning and stretching yourself as an artist!
I just love the subdued but beautiful pastel colors of Zebra Mildliners.
Integrate your intentional practice into your task list. This way, you make sure it gets done, and you get to feel accomplished twice—by looking at what you created, and by checking it off your list!
Faber-Castelle Gelatos and watercolor pencils are fantastic ways to add touches of watercolor to your bullet journal without having to use a dedicated mixed media sketchbook.
Arm yourself with pretty labels and stickers (or even basic acrylic paints) that will cover up mistakes, even full-page labels if a mistake takes a particularly bad turn. That way, you can push forward with abandon, knowing that no mistake is unfixable!
Avoid burnout! Stick with it, even if it means getting into a routine and only trying something new every once in awhile. Give yourself freedom to have some plainer spreads, so that you can work on those "masterpiece" spreads over several days.
One artist created a spread with a giant circle and added to it every day of the week, with the intention of having a completed drawing by the end of the week (unfortunately, I can't find the source of this image for attribution, so I won't display it). Some slowly complete a zentangle or a whole-page design. Some add boxes into their layouts for future pictures.
Try learning hand lettering! A great (and free) place to start is my printable eBook and workbook, Simple Script.

2 Alternate Jurors Dismissed from Laquan McDonald Trial Say They Were Leaning Towards a Murder Conviction
Filed to:Laquan McDonald

As a 12-person jury continues deliberations in the trial of Jason Van Dyke, the Chicago cop who shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014, two alternate jurors say they consider Van Dyke guilty of murder.
The two alternate jurors were released from serving on the jury on Thursday afternoon, freeing them to talk to reporters about their thoughts on the cases presented, reports the Chicago Tribune.
One, described as a Latino man who drives a truck for FedEx, says he "definitely" considers Van Dyke guilty.
"For me, he should have waited a little bit longer. I mean he knew the Taser was coming. That's what did it for me," he said, according to the Tribune.
Another, described as a white woman who works at a law firm, says she too considers Van Dyke guilty, convinced by the fact that no other police officers on the scene felt the teen, who held a small knife in his hand, was a threat, and by video footage that showed Laquan walking away from officers.
"He wasn't coming at folks," she said. "Where was he actually causing an issue that Jason Van Dyke thought that he needed to use deadly force? I just didn't understand that."
Van Dyke maintained during testimony that he feared for his life, and tried to square his version of events with conflicting video footage by saying the dashcam "didn't show [his] perspective."
'The Video Doesn't Show My Perspective': Jason Van Dyke Testifies About Shooting Laquan...
Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday in the shooting death of a Chicago teen, Laquan…
Both jurors said the number of shots Van Dyke fired at Laquan that night—16 total—factored into their opinions. The Latino man said he felt a first-degree murder charge was appropriate, whereas the white woman said she would have considered second-degree murder.
However, the two alternates didn't take part in any of the jury deliberations, so it's important to note that the 12 people who ultimately decide Van Dyke's fate—of whom only one is black—could feel completely differently. And in either case, the alternate jurors' opinions have no bearing on the final verdict, which could be delivered as soon as today.

Remco Lansbergen hopes more salmon farmers will have a lightbulb moment and realise the value of using downward-facing lights to keep fish below the lice layer.

Salmon producers are missing a big opportunity if they light up a fish farm 'like a Christmas tree', says Signify expert
Vegard Mahle Aas
Published wednesday 18. January 2023 - 16:41
A combination of downward-facing cage lights and underwater feeding could reduce sea lice infestation of farmed salmon by up to 70%, a lighting expert says.
Remco Lansbergen, head of the aquaculture and agriculture department at Dutch company Signify (formerly Philips), told Norsk Fiskeoppdrett (Norwegian Fish Farming) magazine that he gets frustrated when he sees farms "that light up like Christmas trees on the fjord".
"It seems that many people think that light is light, but they don't think about how the light is used," said Lansbergen.
There has been a rapid development in the use of LED lights in salmon net pens in the last 10 years, but there is still a lot to be done when it comes to getting the full effect of the lighting, as Lansbergen sees it. This applies in particular to the effect that the correct use of lighting can have to prevent the salmon from being exposed to salmon lice.
Lice layer
Simply explained, it is possible to minimise the time the salmon stay in the lice layer, which is the top few metres of the water column, by lowering LED lights below that layer. The salmon are drawn towards the light, so if there is no light in the lice layer, the salmon will dive down to the light.
For this to happen, however, the light must be directional, i.e., only spread downwards, and not in all directions as is the case with some lamps used in facilities today.
"What must be avoided is spreading light upwards in the cage. If you have lamps that light up in all directions, you also light up the lice layer and then the fish will spend as much time above the light as below," said Lansbergen.
Although directional lights installed under the lice layer will reduce the time that the fish stay in the lice layer, it does not mean that the fish will not rise to the surface.
Underwater feeding
"The fish will rise to draw air on the surface (for fill its swim bladders), but the right lighting will reduce the time the fish stays in the lice layer," said Lansbergen. Feeding can also be adapted to keep the fish in deeper water by having the feed discharge under water.
Using the right light and underwater feeding will, according to Lansbergen, lead to a reduction in lice infestation of up to 70%.
The reason why farmers have installed lighting in marine facilities in recent years is not primarily to combat lice, but to increase growth and delay sexual maturation. And for these purposes, too, the light is more effective if it is diffused exclusively downwards in the cage. This is because the salmon not only have receptors for light in the eyes, but mostly in a pineal gland on the top of the head. The light that hits this gland affects hormones in the fish, which in turn affect maturation, and it is therefore important that as much of the light as possible hits the top of the fish.
"If you have light that spreads in all directions, a lot of the fish will swim over the light and the light will then hit the belly of the fish. It produces a poor effect in addition to being not very energy efficient and contributes to light pollution," said Lansbergen.

Promise Of School Funds Trumps Design Questions In Electric Factory Billboard Case
December 12, 2012 | by Ryan Briggs

City Council will vote as soon as today on legislation that would make legal the erection of a seven story LED wall wrap on the highway-facing side of the seven story former factory building connected to the popular music venue Electric Factory. A deal, worked out through a "community benefits agreement" with the help of private consultant Jeff Hornstein, would see 20 percent of the revenue generated by the billboard funneled into three public schools, McCall, in Society Hill, Spring Garden Elementary, in Callowhill, and Kearny, on the western edge of Northern Liberties.
The bill sailed through Council's Rules Committee last week and Hornstein felt confident that the bill "was going to pass City Council with a 16-1 or 17-0 vote." He estimated that proceeds from the advertisement at Seventh and Callowhill Streets would generate about $500,000, three-quarters of which would go to the schools, with the remainder being divvied up amongst various civic associations.
The legislation has drawn criticism from Scenic Philadelphia, a group that combats public advertising across the city, as well as the Society Hill Civic Association, the City Planning Commission, and Independence National Historical Park due to the unusual size of the billboard and fears over it setting a precedent for the construction of more digital advertising in the city. It also points to the growing role of community benefits agreements as a method for property owners and developers to curry favor with residents and civic associations in exchange for zoning exemptions.
Critics point out that the debate over the bill in the Rules Committee centered not on the merits of the billboard–issues of design and public space and traffic safety–but on the state of public education in the city.
"At the Rules Committee hearing Councilwoman Blackwell spoke strongly about the need for addition funding for our public schools," said Rob Kettell, a retired architect and planner and member of the Design Advocacy Group, who testified against the bill at last week's City Council hearing. "I agree with her. If City Council agrees there is such a dire need for more funds for these schools then City Council should fund these schools appropriately."
Kettell also worries that the ad hoc nature of the community benefits agreement sets bad policy precedent. "There are hundreds of worthwhile causes that should be funded," he said. "That does not mean that city policies or regulations should be violated just because a few of these worthwhile causes will get more funds. There needs to be a more structured method of serving worthwhile causes and making exceptions to established city laws."
But in a phone interview yesterday, Hornstein, who is also President of the Queen Village Neighborhood Association, claimed he'd seen no resistance to the bill. "I haven't really seen any criticism at all," he said.
"There are couple of people who scream very loudly about this thing, but they're the same people that scream loudly about every billboard," he said, referring to Scenic Philadelphia's well known anti-billboard stance.
And indeed, that group has screamed, repeatedly, about advertising on this exact building.
Myron Berman, a New York-based developer who owns the building through a company called Callowhill Center Associates, illegally installed a wall wrap on the structure in 1999. After one year, CCA applied to Licenses & Inspections for a use permit to make the sign legal. L&I denied the request, on the grounds that the sign violated city zoning codes. Nevertheless, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, chaired at the time by David Auspitz, later granted a variance for the advertisement, after Berman claimed losing the sign would be an "economic hardship." Scenic Philadelphia (known at the time as SCRUB) sued to overturn the approval.
Scenic Philadelphia rendering of billboard proposed in 2005
The case eventually made its way to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which ultimately denied CCA's petition to keep the sign in 2003. And yet, the sign remained in place for nearly another year, requiring another court order and a $65,000 fine before it was finally removed–at least until 2005, when Berman installed another sign in the middle of the night. That sign was forcibly removed by the city.
Last year, Berman started trying, again, to get outgoing Councilman Frank DiCicco to pass legislation approving yet another sign on the building. That legislation was approved by Council, but was ultimately vetoed by Mayor Nutter.
Hornstein, a former AFL-CIO union organizer, says he was approached by CCA to act as a consultant in this matter simply because of his experience with local elections and community groups. Last year, Hornstein lost a bid to replace Frank DiCicco as First District Councilman to Mark Squilla, the man who is now, ironically, sponsoring the Electric Factory legislation.
Kearny Elementary School, 6th and Fairmount
Hornstein, who said he was not familiar with the intricacies of the building's recent history, believes that the proposed payout to underfunded schools more than makes up for negative aspects of the billboard. "Look, I wish we didn't live in a world where we were deciding between giving tax breaks to millionaires versus school funding, but that's the world we live in. And in the world we actually live in, this is a pretty good deal [for schools]," he said.
"This thing basically only faces the highway. If I thought this was going to be terribly destructive to anybody's quality of life, I wouldn't have gotten involved," he said.
"Somebody sent me a nasty email saying, 'for such a paltry sum of money, you're making a deal with the devil'," said Hornstein, "I said, 'OK, then you come up with a half million dollars for these schools.' A lot of people want to criticize but they don't have positive solutions."
Kettell acknowledged that developers had made concessions before to earn zoning variances, but that those concessions were typically related to aspects of the development itself, not purely monetary givebacks.
But he and other critics fear that community benefits agreements aren't ultimately enforceable. "Would the city actually do anything if the terms were not met? The chances are that the community groups [or schools] would still have to sue if the community benefits agreement's promises were not kept–something that no community group could afford to do," Kettel said.
He also characterized the creation of this particular community benefits agreement as arbitrary and secretive. "Who decides that visual pollution is worth $250,000 a year? Why not $1 million? Why not $10? It would be far better if such permissible concessions were debated in public forums, rather than in private meetings with community groups," he said.

The 2023 Nissan Ariya e-4orce will do more AWD than traction: technical preview
Our first time in the driver's seat of the 2023 Nissan Ariya missed out on the star of the lineup: the company's dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, complemented by a next-generation chassis system called the e-4orce.
Although e-4orce is technology for electric vehicles, it draws on the tuning expertise of the all-wheel-drive GT-R supercar. With electric vehicles and their faster-reacting propulsion components, e-4orce can modulate and coordinate a full response of the two electric motors and four individual wheel brakes in tens of milliseconds rather than hundreds of milliseconds.
The goal is not just to provide improved traction and stability, but to work the physics of all four wheels to help adjust the attitude of the vehicle to prevent lifting during hard acceleration, nose-down during deceleration and balance in turns.
Nissan Ariya 2023 – driving preview (EU spec)
As I observed during a closed-course preview of the Ariya earlier this week, this electric crossover isn't clunky in front-wheel-drive form by any means, but it promises to be a whole lot more nimble in form. e-4orce.
Due in part to supply chain hurdles, e-4orce versions of the Ariya will arrive in late fall, versus early fall for front-wheel-drive versions. While Nissan didn't have a production Ariya e-4orce model to drive, the company brought back a familiar e-Force face – a Leaf demonstrator installed with a version of the system that can be turned on and off.
Nissan Leaf e-4orce demonstrator – updated to represent 2023 Ariya e-4orce
This demonstrator is the same car we drove in January 2020although updated to represent the final form software used in the Ariya e-4orce.
Basically, in this Twin-engine "Super Leaf" the layout is very similar to what will be featured in the Ariya e-4orce, with two motors and open differentials at each axle.
I jumped into the driver's seat with a tech to turn the system on and off, and freshened up on the idea.
Nissan e-4ORCE Electric All-Wheel Drive System
Nissan first had me accelerate and decelerate to city speeds in the B setting, which provides more regenerative braking, to show that the system works subtly at the wheels – even redistributing brake regen – to help keeping the car level even when you are well short of pushing the limits of tire traction. I performed the exercise once with standard stability control, then with e-4orce, and found the car to be flatter with e-4orce, with the potential to use more regen without disturbing the passengers.
It's not a subtle difference, like the creeping jet lag I felt during the mid-morning drive through Spain; it's like day and night.
The next step was a series of curves. First was a tighter curve taken at around 25 mph, then an S-curve set at around 37 mph. The system intervenes in such subtle ways that you may not even realize what it is doing. However, the net result is that you can corner faster, without feeling like the cabin is rocking back and forth.
During my demo ride, a near downpour left a burst of shallow puddles all over the ride. As I pushed harder with the system engaged, I could feel not only the traction management at the wheels, but also the car's weight balancing away from the front plowing wheels.
The net takeaway is that you can enjoy the Ariya's dynamics – or a more aggressive brake regen setting – without a clumsier ride the rest of the time and without bothering your passengers.
It should also be noted that e-4orce operates without the power consumption or additional components of an air suspension or adjustable shock absorbers.
To help the physics behind the idea resonate, Nissan recently integrated a version of the system into a small, twin-motor server tray used in a ramen counter. It shows how the nuanced control of the two motors can quickly deliver bowls of noodles and broth to customers without sloshing or spilling.
However, this demo did not replace experience of the system in the Ariya. There are key differences between this demo car and what we'll see in the Ariya in component details. While the Leaf demo adds a second EM57 permanent magnet motor (PSM) to the rear wheels – the Leaf's original motor – and is entirely based on existing Leaf propulsion components, the Ariya will be powered by an externally excited synchronous motor. This design creates the field with an applied current instead of rare-earth-dependent magnets. As Nissan told us, that makes it more efficient at highway speeds, but not as punchy as the PSM units.
Nissan CMF-EV platform
The Ariyas CMF-EV platform is also designed around a new communication bus that should make e-4orce's reactions faster and smoother. Nissan installed an auxiliary processor to replicate the system's responses, but we were told before that it wasn't quite the same.
The Ariya also likely weighs around 500 pounds more in its 87kWh e-4orce Performance form than the Leaf demonstrator, which Nissan said added up to 200 pounds over a front-drive Leaf Plus, for a total approximately 4,200 lbs. For comparison, the top-end front-drive Ariya we drove, with the smaller 63 kWh battery, weighed around 4,300 lbs.
Bottom line: Nissan is doing some very interesting things with all-wheel drive and its two-motor system, and it's actually building on technology originally designed for internal combustion. But nothing replaces a real-world demo in a real Ariya e-4orce. We hope to bring you some apple-to-apple impressions of the system in an Ariya before it arrives in late fall.

Kingston, Ontario: A small place with big-city features (2023)
A great place to live Skilled talent for innovative companies A welcoming place for clean- and climate-tech startups BEST SMALL CITIES RANKINGS PLACE PRODUCT PROGRAMMING PEOPLE PROSPERITY PROMOTION
There must be something in the water – or the air – in Kingston, Ont., a 450-square-kilometre city that spans east to west along the shores of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, near-equidistant from Toronto and Montreal.
This historic community of just over 168,000 residents brims with accolades – including this year's number three ranking among Canada's Best Small Cities – that often surprise those unfamiliar with the place. Most Canadians are likely unaware, for instance, that Kingston has the smartest workforce in the country, with the highest number of PhD graduates per capita, according to Statistics Canada. Or that its homegrown musicians have bagged a collective total of 25 Juno Awards.
"We've always had a thriving music scene in Kingston," says Moira Demorest, Tourism Kingston's music commissioner – a new role created this year to further advance music and musicians in the city. "And yes, area musicians have collected a wealth of Junos, including 17 awarded to The Tragically Hip, who hail from Kingston."
The city's thriving music scene is poised for post-pandemic growth. Kingston recently launched a creative industries strategy, which was the impetus for the music portfolio at Tourism Kingston led by Ms. Demorest. Working in partnership with the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, KPP Concerts and RAW Design, this work has already resulted in a new all-ages venue for both music and film, called the Broom Factory, and a music video program that pairs local musicians with local media production companies.
"We have other initiatives as well geared to all stages of the artist journey, from aspiring to already established," says Ms. Demorest. "I'm really proud of the work we're doing here."
A great place to live
Ms. Demorest has other reasons to feel proud of the city that's been home for most of her life. Kingston is a centre of culture, creativity and history, with more than two dozen museums, galleries and historic sites, including Fort Henry, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Foodies have a diverse menu of restaurants, distilleries, craft breweries, bespoke culinary events and food retailers to choose from, including Kingston Public Market – Ontario's oldest market, dating back to 1801. The city boasts more restaurants per capita than almost any other place in Canada, according to the Ontario East Economic Development Commission. In 2020, Kingston welcomed a notable addition to its diverse, evolving and expansive local culinary scene: a restaurant that not only offers delectable Asian fusion-inspired menu items and innovative cocktails – but also has a zero-waste approach.
"To be accurate, our waste diversion rate is more like 99.5 per cent," says Bellen Tong, co-owner of Miss Bão Restaurant + Cocktail Bar. "There's still that .5 per cent from waste from our washrooms, baby diapers, feminine products and the occasional packaging that a supplier sends, as a last-minute substitute, that we cannot divert from landfill."
To achieve near-zero waste, Ms. Tong and her partner Zach Fang installed a $30,000 composter in the back of the restaurant that turns organic waste into nutritional soil. They send this soil to the farmer who supplies them with vegetables.
Pros and Cons of Living in Kingston, Ontario | New Canadian Life
"A lot of what we do today is possible because Kingston has a well-established ecosystem of sustainable businesses," says Ms. Tong, who earned a biomechanical engineering degree from Queen's University before deciding to pursue her passion for food. "There are a lot of small players like us – we love working with them and we always tag them on Instagram."
Sports and recreation are also big in Kingston, which has more than 100 sports facilities. Its windy waterfront attracts hundreds of boats each year, earning Kingston its widely acknowledged status as the sailing capital of the world. With more than 200 shipwrecks beneath its waters, Kingston is also home to some of the best freshwater diving in the world.
"The lifestyle here is excellent," says Timothy Smith, CEO and co-founder of Octane Medical Group, a Kingston-based medical technology company that develops advanced bioprocesses, biomaterials and bioreactors for regenerative medicine. "Kingston really is a small big city. It has everything many big cities have – like good restaurants, theatre and sports – but without the negative big-city features like traffic. People don't have to travel far to enjoy all that the city has to offer."
Skilled talent for innovative companies
Employers like Octane don't have to venture far either to find the skilled talent they need. Kingston's three post-secondary schools – Queen's University, St. Lawrence College and the Royal Military College of Canada – provide companies with an ongoing stream of graduates trained in a wide range of disciplines.
Over its 15-year history, Octane – which is part of Kingston's rapidly growing cell and gene therapy sectors – has hired dozens of students from Queen's and St. Lawrence College, notes Mr. Smith, who graduated from Queen's engineering school in the late 1980s. Octane also sponsors a number of biotechnology students each year for semester-long learning and work placements.
"The students we've hired or sponsored from the schools here have been very well trained in their fields," says Mr. Smith "They tend to come out of school with practical, hands-on skills so they can hit the ground running even when they don't have industry experience."
Octane has also been successful in bringing talent from other parts of the world to come and work in the company's ventures, which focus on cutting-edge innovations such as engineered tissue for orthopedic repair, bioelectric stimulation and a spinal implant made with advanced biocomposite material.
Ian Grant, Octane's chief operating officer and co-founder, attributes this in large part to the quality of life in Kingston.
"It's a very walkable city, with a downtown core that has a historic character and a number of buildings that are, really, quite grand," he says. "Even our business partners love coming here."
It helps to have a number of partners in key markets within easy reach, adds Mr. Grant. New York or Pennsylvania, for example, are just a few hours by car. For business meetings that require getting onboard a plane, the airports in Montreal and Toronto are each less than three hours away.
A welcoming place for clean- and climate-tech startups
This ease of access to markets was an important consideration for Ahmad Ghahreman when he co-founded Cyclic Materials, an innovative cleantech company that recovers and recycles rare earth metals used in high-performance magnets for electric vehicle, wind turbines and phones.
"For the electric vehicle market, easy access to cities like Detroit will be a big advantage for us," says Mr. Ghahreman, who moved to Kingston from Vancouver in 2014 after accepting a faculty position in the mining engineering department at Queen's.
In July 2021, he left his post at Queen's to focus on Cyclic Materials, where he led the development of a process for recovering and recycling rare earth elements in a way that uses between 70 and 90 per cent less water and produces significantly less carbon dioxide than other processes.
"Kingston has a very welcoming environment for startups, especially those in cleantech or climate tech," says Mr. Ghahreman. "The city's economic development office has been wonderful with us throughout the past year, helping us make connections, hire people and identify companies we can work with."
Like Octane, Cyclic Materials has found it easy to recruit Kingston-based employees with the right skills.
"The graduates from Queen's – in particular those coming from chemical engineering and mechanical engineering – are among the best in Canada," says Mr. Ghahreman. "And it's not just their technical skills and knowledge that make them a great fit for us. It's also their concern for the environment and their awareness of how they can make difference, from right here in their community, by being part of a company that's advancing a sustainable solution."
BEST SMALL CITIES RANKINGS
In Canada, almost 82 per cent of the population lives in cities. Canadians are reconsidering where they want to call home. They increasingly choose hometowns that are more affordable, calmer and closer to the outdoors. Resonance Consultancy ranked Canada's best small cities (municipalities with populations of less than 200,000) by using a combination of statistical performance and qualitative evaluations by locals and visitors in six core categories:
Quantifying a city's physical sense of place includes evaluating the perceived quality of its natural and built environment, from how often the sun shines to the safety of the streets, and more.
Ranking a city's "hardware" looks at key institutions, attractions and infrastructure that shape the city's identity via the quantity, quality and reputation of these products.
This category measures the experiential pillars of a great visit: food, shows, shopping and nightlife – the mosaic of cultural programming and lifestyle experiences.
Human capital is often a city's most valuable resource. Looking at diversity, for example, can speak to a city's ability to attract talent.
A well-paid, economically secure citizenry facilitates stewardship and innovation. Beyond statistics related to the income of citizens, standards of living and ability to own a home, this category considers self-employed residents as a measure of startups and innovation.
This represents the ability of a city to tell its story through media stories, online articles, references and place-based recommendations, which all influence our perception of cities.

If you aren't passionate, or being challenged, or having fun, you will not make a change to your life, according to Kayla Stauffer and Heather Weaver, co-owners of REVive Studio in Gainesville. These two women believe in empowerment of the mind and body and have used that philosophy to build a space where friendships have flourished and Spin, TRX, and Barre classes have participants leaving feeling better than when they came in.
A lifelong athlete with childhood musical interests, Stauffer discovered a love for spin class when she realized it incorporated everything she loves. She could see and feel how motivating the combination of music and exercise was and knew right away that this was perfect for her. "Sharing this with the community and spreading positivity throughout each and every class is what makes me who I am — strong, motivating, supportive, energetic, caring, and all over electric," she says.
A multi-sport athlete herself, Weaver returned to exercise as an outlet after getting married and building a family that includes five children. She had yet to give spinning a shot but all it took was a few songs on the bike for her to realize that spinning was the perfect combination of physical and mental motivation and she was completely on board too. Now, having taught over 300 classes in just 10 short months, you'd never know she had just discovered her new passion less than two years ago. "As a health and fitness coach, I discovered my love for helping others find their own happiness within themselves through healthy living, and wanted to continue spreading that positive change throughout my community," she says.
These high-school classmates followed each other's fitness journeys online for years. Stauffer, a previous studio owner in Pennsylvania, would come back to Virginia to visit her family and seek out an exercise class to take. She quickly realized there weren't any places that quite fit her needs. The two friends' mutual interests sparked an idea and they began to talk about the possibility of opening a studio. They visualized what it would look and, more importantly, feel like. With some encouragement from their families, they decided to go for it. When a space in the Madison Crescent shopping center in Gainesville became available, Weaver and Stauffer jumped at the opportunity and began to transform it into their dream studio.
There were a few factors that were on top of the list of priorities that Weaver and Stauffer wanted to incorporate. One was to provide affordable child care so that parents would not have to sacrifice their fitness goals for their budget. Another was to make sure REVive was built in a way to allow members to gather and get to know one another on a more personal level; they wanted an intimate feel. They felt it should also be a place where people could come to push themselves both physically and mentally, connect their minds and bodies, and just let go to focus on themselves. Testaments to their efforts can be found in the feedback they receive and the relationships they have formed with their members.
"It's the best workout I've ever had" is commonly heard from the mostly women clients at REVive Studio. This is just one, if not the best, compliment they have received. It validates that Weaver and Stauffer are succeeding in their mission to change the mindset and erase the negative stigma that surrounds the exercise community for some people. Instead of dreading their time at the gym, these members often report they can't wait to get to class. Weaver and Stauffer feel privileged to be able to witness the life changes that are happening daily at REVive Studio. When clients' bodies and moods change, their outlook also changes.
The women have witnessed the friendships that have formed between members and also between members and instructors. The members rely on the instructors to help them get to where they want to be. The one-on-one interaction and personalized attention to each person's fitness ability and goals is what makes REVive so unique. It's really become a support system for some. "You aren't just a member to us, you are a part of our community," says Weaver.
The positive and uplifting atmosphere at REVive is contagious, and these successful women are confident that each person who tries a class will feel the same. For this reason, the first class is always free, with no strings attached. Almost everyone who has tried a free class is blown away and ends up coming back again and again. REVive has become a place where people of all ages, all sizes, and all different backgrounds come together for 45 minutes of fun and exercise and leave with 'feel good' feelings, and maybe also a few new friends.

Family demands city deal with derelict home after raccoon jumps into car
Taking her children to visit their grandparents shouldn't be a risky adventure, but that's what it has become for Catherine Srour after a raccoon jumped into her car over the weekend during a visit to their Langlois Avenue home.
Dave Waddell, Windsor Star

Located next to an abandoned, grass-shrouded house, Srour was shocked when the raccoon sprang out of the overgrown grass into the backseat of her car as she opened the door for her four-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.
The startled animal escaped as quickly as it arrived with no physical harm to anyone, but the traumatic event left her children screaming in terror.
"We've been calling the city since 2009 about this house," said Srour, who lives in Forest Glade. "It's like a forest.
"My dad can stand on the porch and count 10-12 animals in the trees. They used to sit out at night, but now they don't because of all the animals scurrying across their yard."
Srour said her parents and three siblings live in the home they purchased in 2001. The problems started when the neighbouring home was abandoned by the owner in 2009.
"My father has called the city so many times about the home he said he's embarrassed by the number," Srour said.
"We haven't seen the owner in years. We don't even know if he's alive or where he is."
Srour's sister Mirna Hoummad, who still resides at home, said the property at 468 Langlois has caused her family's world to slowly shrink and their quality of life to evaporate.
"We can't sit on the left-hand side of our backyard because of the animals in the trees and the horrible smell there," Hoummad said.
"It's one of those houses that's so bad, people come to look at it. People drive by slowly and take pictures.
"It's embarrassing having people visit. We can't understand why the city has let this go on."
Hoummad said she's called the city four times in the past two weeks and estimates her family collectively has placed 50 calls of complaint. She added the whole neighborhood wants the home demolished because it's not only an eyesore but a fire and safety hazard.
"We had to have the police remove the homeless people living there," Hoummad said. "There are drugs and it's a party house for them.
"You can see through the broken windows it's full of clothes and junk. It's like hoarder lives there.
"If it ever catches fire, the whole block will burn down."
Lee Anne Doyle, the city's chief building official, said there are 12 complaints on record about the home going back to 2011.
However, they've ramped up in the past year with six in 2013 and another two this year.
An order to cut the grass has already been issued to the owner and if that's not done by Tuesday the city will contract out the job and bill the owner.
Doyle said an inspector is scheduled to go out this week to examine the building's structure and to secure the premises.

"This has become a priority this week," Doyle said. "We want to see if this house belongs on our list for blight mitigation."
Doyle said part of the issue for the city in tracking this particular case was not all the calls about the home were logged because they didn't come through the city's 311 call system. Calls directly to individual departments aren't all tracked.
"We encourage everyone to go through 311 because those calls will be tracked," Doyle said. "We want to know about these homes. This house wasn't on our radar for blight mitigation because of that.
"We have the resources and the legislative tools to deal with these homes."
Doyle said the city has demolished 42 homes since 2011 under the blight mitigation policy. Those homes had dozens of complaints file on them that served as red flags. Doyle said the list of homes on the blight mitigation list is reviewed quarterly with council giving final approval before the wrecking ball swings.
Currently, there are nine homes on the list.
Ward 4 Coun. Alan Halberstadt called raccoons jumping into cars outrageous.
"It's gotten better in terms that we've been able to knock down some of these places, but there's always more that pop up to take their spots on the blight mitigation list," said Halberstadt, who hadn't heard of the 468 Langlois case.
"I get a lot of derelict house calls, especially since the economy got bad. There are a lot out there and a lot of them are in my ward.
"But the city just can't go around knocking down houses. We have to respect the legal process."

Q: How do I save in Visual Studio CSS that I edited in chrome? Preamble
I was thinking that a lot of year ago the WYSIWYG revolution was lost in the development..
Now web developers write code in Visual Studio -> Debug it with a Web Browser -> Edit CSS inside the web browser -> go back to Visual Studio saving that modifies and tries again in the web browser.
This process is simply slow. Compare it with the prodctivity of Adobe Photoshop or 3D Studio Max.
The question
Is it possible to use the web browser as an HTML / CSS editor at least for the minor changement?
Link to similar question
;
;
Sometimes I think programmer love coding so much to prevent a real abstract vision of their work final purpose.. the code should be a mean to reach something, not the final purpose..
3D Studio i.e. is very modular and reusable, without having to write any code.

A 'model citizen' whose dangerous driving on the M6 left an engineer paralysed has failed in an Appeal Court bid to get his jail term cut.
He joined a queue of stationary or slow-moving vehicles in the inside lane on the approach to junction 2, near Rugby.
There had been signs warning road users of traffic ahead, Mrs Justice Elisabeth Laing told London's Appeal Court.
Hallbrook's lorry, which had been travelling at 55mph, moved into the inside lane and crashed into the back of the victim's car, crushing it between two lorries.
A statement from his wife said 'every ounce of his dignity has been taken away', that she cries every night and 'emotionally, it had destroyed me'.
The keen rugby player showed genuine remorse and said he 'thought every day about the pain he caused'.
They pointed to his 'significant personal mitigation', including 25 years as a carer working with children with special needs.
For the latest traffic and travel news follow our Facebook group here.
The judge who jailed him described him as a 'model citizen' who had led not only a 'blameless life but one filled with positive goodness'.
But she 'rejected' his explanation for the crash, saying that 'for whatever reason he was not paying attention to the road'.
Mrs Justice Laing said that Hallbrook was 'very significantly distracted from driving for about a minute, we do not know by what'.
His speed was 'inappropriate for the conditions and thus dangerous', she told the Appeal Court.
There was nothing "manifestly excessive" or wrong in principle about Hallbrook's sentence, she concluded, dismissing the appeal.

Background: Urinary biomarkers are needed to improve the care and reduce the cost of managing bladder cancer. Current biomarkers struggle to identify both high and low-grade cancers due to differing molecular pathways. Changes in microRNA (miR) expression are seen in urothelial carcinogenesis in a phenotype-specific manner. We hypothesised that urinary miRs reflecting low-and high-grade pathways could detect bladder cancers and overcome differences in genetic events seen within the disease. Methods: We investigated urinary samples (n=121) from patients with bladder cancer (n=68) and age-matched controls (n=53). Fifteen miRs were quantified using real-time PCR. Results: We found that miR is stable within urinary cells despite adverse handling and detected differential expression of 10 miRs from patients with cancer and controls (miRs15a/15b/24-1/27b/100/135b/203/212/328/1224, ANOVA P<0.05). Individually, miR-1224-3p had the best individual performance with specificity, positive and negative predictive values and concordance of 83%, 83%, 75% and 77%, respectively. The combination of miRs-135b/15b/1224-3p detected bladder cancer with a high sensitivity (94.1%), sufficient specificity (51%) and was correct in 86% of patients (concordance). Conclusion: The use of this panel in patients with haematuria would have found 94% of urothelial cell carcinoma, while reducing cystoscopy rates by 26%. However, two invasive cancers (3%) would have been missed. © 2012 Cancer Research UK All rights reserved.

What's New on Netflix Australia This Week: May 24th, 2019
by Jacob Robinson
Published on May 24th, 2019, 6:29 pm EST
The Imitation Game is now available to stream on Netflix Australia
Only 27 new titles to announce this week as we wait for an abundance of titles to arrive in June. There are still some fantastic movies and TV shows that have arrived which should hopefully tide you over into next week. With plenty of Originals to be enjoyed too, we can expect a few more titles being added to your watch list. Here are your latest Netflix Australia additions from the past week.
First of all, here's the past week's highlights:
The Imitation Game (2014)
Arguably one of the saddest tales of one of World War 2's unsung heroes, the tale of Alan Turing, and the Enigma Code is captivating. Perfectly cast in the role of Turing is Benedict Cumberbatch. His fantastic performance earned him a Best Actor nomination at the Academy Awards, while the film itself earned the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Notably, Kiera Knightly also earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
In 1939 as a response to the war with Nazi Germany, Britain created MI6, the British secret intelligence service. Cambridge mathematician Alan Turing is recruited by MI6 in order to help crack the codes of the Nazis including Enigma. While thought to be unbreakable, Turing and his team pour all of their knowledge into building a machine that can help decipher the once unbreakable code.
Slasher (Season 3) Netflix Original
After a 2 year-long hiatus the Canadian horror-anthology Slasher returns to Netflix once more. This time as a fully fledged Netflix Original, Slasher in all its bloody greatness will certainly strike fear into the hearts of audiences once more.
Outside an apartment complex, a young man is murdered but none of the witnesses stepped in to help. Soon witnesses to the murder are hunted down one by one, seemingly being punished for not helping the young man that died on their doorstep.

Gran Torino (2008)
Starring and directing in Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood was at his absolute scowling best. The drama-thriller is Eastwood's second highest grossing film to date grossing $270 million, only being beaten by American Sniper with $547.4 million. Truly a modern classic, Gran Torino more than deserves a watch.
Walt Kowalski now a retired auto worker and Korean War veteran, despises what has become of his neighborhood. Once a thriving a community of fellow American auto workers, Walt is tired of seeing minority families moving into the area. In a surprise turn of events, Walt takes a Bee Vang under his wing after the young Asian man was forced into stealing Walt's prized Gran Torino. The more time Walt spends with Bee Vang and his family, the more he realizes he has more in common with his Asian neighbors then he does his own family.

SB 954 changed laws regarding mediations and requires new disclosures before mediations. Effective 1/1/2019, attorneys representing a client participating in a mediation or a mediation consultation are required to provide the client with a printed disclosure, in a specified form, containing confidentiality restrictions related to mediation, and to obtain a printed acknowledgment signed by the client stating that he or she has read and understands the confidentiality restrictions. This disclosure must be provided as soon as reasonably possible before the mediation. If an attorney is retained after a client agrees to participate in a mediation or mediation consultation, the attorney must comply with the printed disclosure and acknowledgment requirements as soon as reasonably possible after being retained. An exception exists in class action matters. It modified Evidence Code §1122 and added new Evidence Code §1129.
The revised code sections are in the downloadable pdf.


Lately, I've been nostalgic for chocolate pudding pie. It must be the power of manifestation that Cynthia often speaks of because the other day, I found chocolate pudding pie right in front of me at Pies 'N' Thighs, where I was trying to satiate another craving: chicken biscuit. The chocolate pudding pie at Pies 'N' Thighs is different from that of my childhood memory — the kind where the chocolate has a gelatinous texture, like Jell-O pudding. At Pies 'N' Thighs, the chocolate is rich and dense, more like chocolate mousse, in a chocolate crust, topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and shaved chocolate. A couple of bites into it, I could feel the sugar rush to my head and a large smile cross my face.

The sport of yachting had its origins on the River Thames in 18th-century England, where it had royal patronage. It did not become widespread until the second half of the 19th century.
Yachts and sailing-boats
In New Zealand, as elsewhere, there was initially a strong distinction between yachts and sailing-boats.
Yachts were decked craft, and therefore quite large, with a little accommodation below. They were built for and raced by the wealthy.
Sailing-boats were undecked, open craft, built by or for the working man and generally under 8 metres long.
There was, at first, an element of social-class distinction in the two types of sailing.
Sailing for sport had its origins in New Zealand in the period of colonisation, after 1840. Contact between coastal settlements largely depended on sailing-boats, and small open craft were vital to the working of the ports.
Every major port began to hold an annual regatta, usually on the anniversary of its founding. There were races for local trading vessels and for open sailing-boats. They were patronised by the fishermen and boatmen of the port, including a large number of Māori at first, especially in the North Island.
By the 1870s the regattas were highly organised, with sizeable prize money. They were popular, and many people would place bets. Sailing became a spectator sport.
Peach boats
The open sailing-boats which played a big part in early Auckland anniversary regattas were called peach boats. They were used by Māori to bring peaches, vegetables and other produce from the Hauraki Gulf to Auckland.
The first yachts
During the 1870s, as regattas became more popular, the first yachts appeared. They were built exclusively for racing. Open sailing-boats also raced, and were built in various classes based on overall length. Recreational cruising began, especially around the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.
Mullet boats
In these years a new type of fishing smack, the mullet boat, was emerging in Auckland. The main use was in netting mullet in the shallow Thames estuary, south-east of the city.
They were half-decked boats about 24 feet (7.3 metres) long, with a centreboard. This prevented lateral motion, allowed the yacht to sail upwind, and provided stability. There was a broad transom stern over which to work the net. Crewed by two men, they were rigged to sail fast back to Auckland - despite the prevailing westerlies - to get their catch of about a ton of fish to the waterfront markets without spoiling.
In time the mullet boats were refined to become fast and weatherly (able to sail into the wind), ideal for competition in the Hauraki Gulf. By 1900 they were being built exclusively for racing. Until the Second World War they were a prominent part of the racing fleet, with their strongest base in Auckland's working-class suburb of Ponsonby. A small number still race with the Ponsonby Cruising Club.
