Cheap Eats: Bunga Burger Bar uses meat as creative canvas
Karen Miltner
@KarenMiltner
If you live in a college town, you need three things to survive: coffee, beer and burgers.
Those essentials are already nailed down pat as the College Town, the urban village being constructed at the intersection of Mt. Hope and Elmwood avenues near the University of Rochester campus.
Bunga Burger Bar sells beer and burgers, and it's squeezed between a Starbucks and Chipotle Mexican Grill, so the bases are well covered.
After having barely digested my first-ever doughnut burger at Brockport's Boardwalk Inn last week, I was curious to see how outrageous this 6-month-old hamburger hangout could go, given its captive target market. The locally owned pub flaunts a Wolfgang Puck philosophy, using burgers (like others use pizza dough) as its canvas.
How can you tell? Because there is no mayonnaise here, but plenty of aioli. And the onions are caramelized with port, the salsa starts with pineapple and one burger is confident enough to come to your table with nothing but a fried egg.
My friend Jann had the Bourbon Street burger ($9.25) with barbecue sauce, cheddar and onion rings. Her house fries were medium thick with a few herbs sprinkled on them.
At Bunga Burger, there also are burgers that aren't even burgers. They include barely seared and crusted yellow fin tuna strips sitting on cabbage and zig-zagged with a hot wasabi yogurt sauce, which I ate with brown sugar-coated sweet potato fries. It's on the high end of the price scale at $12.50, but it was one of the healthier options (especially when put on a whole wheat bun), along with a black bean burger, a mushroom sandwich and a turkey burger.
I probably should have gotten a salad instead of fries, but at least I didn't fall for the adult shakes, which could be the cocktail's version of the doughnut burger. I'm not sure if the menu zoning board would consider this a violation or just bad taste, but these triple-X frosty thrills were listed right next to the kiddy foods.
Perhaps just as over-the-top is the mac-and-cheese burger, a frequent special that can also be ordered by request. Or the burger topped with an onion ring the size of a doughnut.
Though Bunga Burger bar is locally owned by longtime restaurateurs Brad Sluman of Pittsford Pub and Bob St. George, it looks and acts like the other chain restaurants around it, with a bright Fisher-Price logo, a long neon-accented bar, a disco ball and bar tables orbit in the space between bar and doors.
Those doors swing open to sidewalk seating, which offers an aggravating view of road construction at the current time.
Service was very accommodating and efficient during a midweek lunch.
The draft beers are a democratic mix of no-nonsense brands such as Bud and Labatt and a couple regional brews (CB, Southern Tier) to pacify the microbrew tribe. A nice touch is the seasonal Saranac pumpkin ale served margarita-style with brown sugar and cinnamon rimming the glass.
College Town will be a lot like Rochester Institute of Technology's Park Point, with housing, hotel, more restaurants and stores and a Barnes & Noble anchoring the mixed-use acreage. There have been restaurants that have come and gone at Park Point but also some that are showing some real originality and longevity, such Lovin' Cup Bistro & Brews. Does Bunga Burger Bar have the potential to be University of Rochester's Lovin' Cup? I am not making any forecasts, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Bunga Burger Bar
Address: 1370 Mt. Hope Ave.
Phone: (585) 360-4949.
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Bar stays open later.
Accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible.
Good to know: Full bar. Sidewalk seating. Shared parking lot with Starbucks and Chipotle is limited. Street parking also available. Burgers and hot sandwiches run $8.50 to $12.95 and include fries, mac salad or side salad. Salads, chicken wings and a "Bunga Plate" of mac salad, fries and burgers with meat sauce are also served.

Q: HTML5 + CSS: DIV floating left and right I am trying to obtain the following responsive layout
DIVs
with no luck. Can someone please help me ?
DIV1 has width = 100%,
DIV 2, DIV3 and DIV4 have all float:left while DIV5 has float:right; but the layout that I achieve is wrong :(

A: My attempt to create the image using flexbox.
https://codepen.io/goughjo02/pen/GBLdXW
N.B. instead of float: right;, you can use margin-left: auto; - that has the effect of automatically allocating all free space to the left of the div.

Maya: Disrupting Patriarchal Narratives And Empowering Women
Thiyashi Wathuhewa
On the dark, tropical island of 'O', humans and spirits live in harmony, and Queen Devi shares a mystical connection with the magical phoenix 'Maatha'—from whom the women of the island derive their spirituality and power.
When a Prince hears of the beautiful women of the island and invades, abducting the Queen and her phoenix, the spiritual balance of the island is lost, and chaos descends.
Maya, a young woman from the Queen's tribe, grows up in hiding, watched over by a priestess, Nambi, who trains her to become a warrior—for Maya must one day find and rescue her Queen and the mystical, magical phoenix 'Maatha'.
The story is simple, the themes and production, far more complex. Roar Media sat with artistic director Tracy Holsinger to learn more about the mysterious land of 'O' and it's people.

Q: What influenced 'Maya'?
A: The inspiration for the story of 'Maya' comes from two sources. One is the 'Valahassa Jataka' (#196, Tale of the Cloud Horse), in which a merchant prince named 'Simhala' sails from India to Sri Lanka, where, upon discovering the island is populated by 'demonic' women, he gathers an invading force and conquers the island.
Records of this myth can be found in Sri Lanka, India, Nepal and Tibet, but the primary source for this production is the account by the 7th-century Chinese monk and scholar Xuanzang (Hiouen Tsang). Sri Lanka's origin myth also features a 'demon' queen—Kuveni—who is usurped, cast out and killed by her own people. The similarities between the stories prompted me to explore the notion of demonisation and what might cause women to be perceived as such.
In 2016, my husband Deshan Tennekoon conceived an idea for a graphic novel which never came to fruition, but which he has allowed me to explore theatrically. In it, a young warrior named Maya has to rescue a Queen and bring balance back to the land. So I took the 'Valahassa Jataka' and the story my husband wrote, and intertwined them.
Q: How, precisely, does 'Maya' disrupt patriarchal narratives?
A: The need to address the imbalance in the many tales that depict women as demons or unwholesome or subservient has always been on my mind. It is steeped in our culture, mistaken as tradition and perpetuated by men and women, Maya is inspired by exceptional women in Lankan mythology, like Kuveni, Queen Viharamaha Devi and Queen Sugala.
Q: How have you used different theatre forms and techniques to tell your story?
A: Since 2011, I have often toyed with the idea of making a non-verbal play in order to overcome language barriers while touring the island. The concept was to create a physical theatre production that would draw on traditional Lankan practices. [But] as the play developed, we found it impossible to tell this adventure without language, and so dialogue is used sparingly and tri-lingually.
Everything is very physical. There is a lot of mime, and we're using a lot of masks – all very much influenced by traditional Sri Lankan theatre forms, including the circular shape of the stage. We've even incorporated Angampora – Sri Lanka's traditional form of martial arts.
We're also using a little bit of kung-fu, influenced by Asian art forms which are both different and similar – our cultures have histories of non-verbal theatre, movement, and the use of traditional masks, so I really wanted to explore all those elements with this play.

Q: You have employed devised theatre. Does devised theatre and the near absence of dialogue challenge the actors as much as the viewer?
A: It's been difficult. We are all actors (we have two professionally trained dancers, but the rest of us are theatre people) and we know physical theatre, but trying to communicate without language is still difficult. There are moments when it is too tough, and that's where you come across the language—when we really couldn't figure out how to put what we were trying to say across!
Also, I love language and I come from a very language-rich background, so I didn't really want to get rid of language altogether, either. So it's kind of a hybrid. I've never done anything like this before, and neither has the cast.
We've been rehearsing since June, and it's really been quite a process. How do you distill one sentence into one movement? It's been a lot of exploring, trying to figure things out and failing—but that's part of the fun, really.
Q: Why did you decide to make the play trilingual?
A: In our work as a theatre company (we've been making original work since 2009— our first original play was The Travelling Circus) we have been really engaged with community-building in the aftermath of war. All our plays since 2009 have been original and have been based on trying to create more understanding between communities, and exploring what has happened to us in the last 10 years.
In 2016, I did my first Sinhala play – 'Karakena Keliya', which was the Sinhalese version of The Travelling Circus. I created that play together with the Janakaraliya Cultural Foundation, whose work is incredible. They're a multilingual theatre group, that travels around the island performing plays in Sinhala and Tamil and it was amazing to be able to make my first Sinhala play with them.
Since then, we've been doing a lot more work out of Colombo. We've been working with students around the country in the North, East and South—just trying to engage with the reconciliation process. So for me, this was just a natural progression of the work we're doing. Just to reach out, reach out and reach out, all the time! Make new friends, make the plays and make more connections. That's the idea.
'Maya' goes on board at the Lionel Wendt Theatre from September 6-8.

Американо-північнокорейські відносини — двосторонні відносини між США і КНДР. Дипломатичні відносини між Кореєю і США були встановлені в 1882 році і припинені в 1910 році, після встановлення японського протекторату над Кореєю. Дипломатичні відносини між власне КНДР і США ніколи не були встановлені.

Історія
У 1882 році США і корейська династії Чосон встановили дипломатичні відносини уклавши Договір про мир, дружбу, торгівлю та навігацію, а перший американський дипломатичний посланник прибув в Корею в 1883 році. У 1910 році стартував 35-річний період японського колоніального панування в Кореї. Після капітуляції Японії наприкінці Другої світової війни в 1945 році, корейський півострів було поділено по 38-й паралелі на дві зони окупації. США зайняли південь країни, а Радянський Союз — північ. У 1948 році на території колишньої єдиної Кореї були створені дві країни — Республіка Корея на півдні та Корейська Народно-Демократична Республіка (КНДР) на півночі.

25 червня 1950 року північнокорейські війська вторглися у Південну Корею. Під керівництвом Сполучених Штатів коаліція з 16 країн Організації Об'єднаних Націй взяла на себе оборону Південної Кореї. Згодом Китай вступив у війну на стороні Північної Кореї, конфлікт перейшов у затяжну фазу. 27 липня 1953 року закінчилася активна фаза бойових дій, мирний договір так і не був підписаний. Північна та Південна Корея мають складні відносини з часів закінчення Корейської війни. Ці дві країни розділені демілітаризованою зоною. У післявоєнний період корейські влади обох країн неодноразово висловлювали своє бажання возз'єднання, але до 1971 року уряди двох країн не мали прямих і офіційних контактів. Сполучені Штати підтримують мирне возз'єднання Кореї на умовах, прийнятних для корейського народу і визнають, що майбутнє Корейського півострова — в руках його населення. Сполучені Штати вважають, що конструктивний і серйозний діалог необхідний між Північною і Південною Кореєю для вирішення наявних проблем. Прагнення Північної Кореї розвивати ядерну програму і наявні в цій державі порушення прав людини не сприяють її інтеграції до міжнародного співтовариства.

У 1994 році Сполучені Штати і Північна Корея домовилися про план дій щодо денуклеаризації Корейського півострова. У 2003 році Сполучені Штати запропонували провести багатосторонні переговори з північнокорейської ядерної проблеми. Відтоді проведено кілька раундів шестисторонніх переговорів. Хоча Північна Корея часом заявляла, що буде робити кроки до денуклеаризації, але її подальші дії, такі як запуски ракет та ядерні випробування, не є відповідними. Сполучені Штати закликали Північну Корею зробити конкретні кроки в напрямку денуклеаризації, виконувати положення спільної заяви шестисторонніх переговорів, дотримуватися норм міжнародного права, включаючи резолюції Ради Безпеки ООН 1718 і 1874, припинити провокаційну поведінку, а також вжити заходів для поліпшення відносин з сусідами.

У 2016—2017 рр., після багатоетапних ядерних випробувань у Північній Кореї, назріває новий виток погіршень взаємовідносин з США та іншими сусідами. Так, представник Міноборони Південної Кореї заявив про можливі плани Сеула з протидії ядерній загрозі КНДР у вигляді превентивного удару, сама ж КНДР починає погрожувати завдати превентивний ядерний удар по США і Південній Кореї у разі загрози для безпеки країни. При політиці утримання від конфлікту Китаю,
Японія, Південна Корея і США почитають спільні навчання щодо протидії можливій загрозі та перехвату ракет КНДР.

Q: gerrit Unable to create changes: LOCK_FAILURE when pushing for review I've been handed numerous git repos which I have created mirrors of. I'm getting following error when trying to push to gerrit for review

Gerrit is running as its own user. I've checked the filesystem permissions and have refreshed them just in case
chown -R gerrit.gerrit /home/gerrit/review-site

Logs are showing nothing useful
[2016-09-08 00:07:45,071] [ReceiveCommits-1] ERROR com.google.gerrit.server.git.ReceiveCommits : Command CREATE on repo:refs/changes/54/54/1 not completed: LOCK_FAILURE

I've created a group call "Project Leads", granted pretty pretty much every permission in the default All-Projects access scheme, ensured that my project inherits from All-Projects.
I've also added my test user to the Administrators group ... no dice. Same error.
weird thing is that it was working fine 5 days ago. The only thing I have done is check out a new branch, try to commit to the new branch (got the error) and now the error is present for every commit (well, everything I've attempted)
If I bypass review it pushes just fine (suboptimal workaround though)
Any help appreciated
EDIT: in case you are wondering about the ssh server/port i have it set up on ssh config file
Host gerrit-new
    HostName        <server>
    Port            29418
    User            <user>
    IdentityFile    ~/.ssh/<priv_key.rsa>

EDIT2: also tried restart, reindex, reboot, and manually deleting the write.lock files

A: After our server restarted unexpectedly, gerrit's database data was lost, and the account and submission information were lost. I had to reinstall the gerrit database. When I re-establish the gerrit index, I will reproduce this error. Re-push the local branch to the remote, restart the service, then no longer report this error. Hope can help you.
Git remote remove origin

Git remote add origin ssh://XXXX@192.168.XX.XXX:29418/you_pro

Git push -u origin master

Maybe they can help you or give some ideas...

A: I just reverted the commited changes back to staging area with command
git reset --soft HEAD~1
And retried . It worked for me .


A woodpecker's brain is protected by a spongy elastic material between their bill and their skull that holds their brain snugly and provides a cushion. This keeps their brains from getting injured while they bang away at at tree at a remarkable rate and force. For instance, the pileated woodpecker can strike a tree trunk at around 20 times per second, with around the same force as if you would hit your face against a wall at around 16 miles per hour. They do this around 12,000 times a day on average.
Woodpeckers also have a special membrane over their eyes that closes each time their beak strikes the wood. This membrane, combined with a portion of their eye lid which will swell with blood to increase pressure on the eye, is thought to help hold the eye in place and possibly keep it from popping out as they peck away. Just as practically, the membrane also protects the eye from debris.
Its show that woodpeckers could their elementary physics theory about the conservation of the momentum before human beings.


We had another little photo shoot the other day and took some pictures for christmas...here are just a few. You will be seeing the other cute one on our christmas card this year!
Well she isn't exactly sitting and standing on her own but its amazing to see how much stronger her little legs and back have gotten over the past few weeks.
Let me start by saying...WAR EAGLE! Jason and I had our first big outing without Kate Saturday. She stayed at the Brantley's and Jason and I went down to Auburn for the AU/AL game. We had a blast and of course it helped that we won!
Before we left we made sure that Kate had on her orange and blue!
Jason and I took Kate and Lucy to the park this weekend. Kate had fun but hands down Lucy had the best time.
...an exersaucer!! She is not quite sure what to do with all the fun toys yet, but she can sit up and stare at them all really well!
Here is Kate with Bubby and Toots - it is very special to me that she is able to spend time with her great-grandparents!
Kate was wiped out after all the festivities and snoozed on Bry's shoulder.
Very sorry for not posting anything in a while. Not too much is new with us. Life is running pretty smoothly now that Kate is getting a little older. However, our good friends Patrick and Noelle welcomed their first child into the world this Sunday - a little girl named Graham! We are so excited and thrilled for them.
It's hard to believe that Kate was once this small. Wow, they really grow fast!
Kate turned 3 months old on Monday - it is fun to see how much more coordinated she is becoming. She can bat at her toys and grab at them. Funny how its the small things in life right now that get us really excited!
This past weekend Jason, Kate and I traveled up to Ashville, NC for my friend Shea's wedding. Shea is one of my best friends and its definitely a life long friendship. We had a blast at her wedding and it was fun to take Kate up there to meet everyone. Kate did really well traveling - we couldn't have asked for a better trip with a baby.
Shea looked absolutely beautiful! Since we were all dressed up we had to take a little family photo.
Shea's dad is an associate pastor at a HUGE church. We brought in the stroller to push Kate around for the wedding and reception!
Shea and Kate - it was fun for Shea to finally meet Kate. She was the first person besides Jason to know I was pregnant with Kate. She was passing through Birmingham on her way to visit family when I found out that I was pregnant and it was fun to have her there in person to be able to share the news with. Kate did have a small crying fit during the reception. Finally when I got Kate settled down she reached up and grabbed on to my necklace, but I wasn't about to upset her again so we walked around the reception like this for probably an hour!

Strategy >
Why did UB undergo an identity and brand strategy initiative?
Higher education has been undergoing a period of significant change. Societal trends, shifts in funding priorities and emerging technologies are creating increased competition for the best students, top faculty, funding, leadership and reputation. Against this backdrop, branding and identity are increasingly important to our success. UB must differentiate itself from other institutions. To do this, we need to tell our collective story in a way that's exciting, inspirational and distinctive.
The successful development and implementation of an identity and brand strategy will clearly articulate UB's meaning and promise, and will enhance the university's reputation—a reputation that is built on a strong foundation of academic excellence—for outstanding research and scholarship, transformative student experiences and engaging public service.
What are the goals of this initiative?
The primary objective is to establish a distinctive, compelling and relevant position in the minds of members of the university community and the public. We will accomplish this by defining the university's strategic identity—who we are, what we do and why it matters—and telling UB's story in a compelling way worldwide.
What was UB doing before and why is this different?
Never before has UB embarked upon a strategic and university-wide approach to distinctively communicate with clarity and consistency its mission and impact on the world.
Our new strategy features two key components, both of which resulted from a yearlong process involving the expertise and input of thousands of alumni, students, faculty, staff, prospective students and community members.
The first component is a brand framework that conveys UB's distinctiveness: "Here is How" is our new university-wide communications framework from which we'll tell compelling stories about the activities, people and impact of our university.
Just as important, all of the university's schools and units now will be aligned under one official name—the "University at Buffalo," with the interlocking UB as the official university logo.
What is "Here is How" and what does it mean?
"Here is How" is a storytelling framework that captures UB's unique personality—expressing distinctive traits and attributes of the university that were identified during the initiative's research phases.
"Here is How" presents UB as an extraordinary university in an extraordinary city—an institution that represents not only a place, but also a unique way of getting things done. It conveys a sense of what it's like to be at UB and in Buffalo.
From this framework, UB will tell stories that permeate the entire university, creating consistency in messaging and showing the university's impact.
Is "Here is How" just a tagline?
"Here is How" is not a tagline and it is not an ad campaign. It's a substantial and sustainable framework from which we will tell UB's story.
This new storytelling framework will be conveyed throughout the university in communications ranging from admissions brochures and alumni magazines to the university's websites, photography and social media.
How did the university arrive at the "Here is How" brand framework?
In 2015 the university embarked on a comprehensive process that included in-depth research to answer the question: Who and what is the University at Buffalo? More than 8,000 UB community members—faculty, students, staff, alumni, donors/patrons and external stakeholders, along with community leaders, prospective students and the parents of UB students—helped to answer these questions. The collective input of our stakeholders and the leadership of more than 50 representatives across the university built this strategy.
Our research found that our brand, much like a person, is made up of key attributes and specific characteristics. The research helped identify distinctive strengths that were the building blocks for a comprehensive brand strategy. The University at Buffalo is pragmatic, tenacious, inclusive, ambitious, proud and dynamic. We uncovered our attributes—purposeful ambition, global perspective, radical empathy and bold participation. Our brand represents who we are, what we do and why it matters. It's authentic to UB.
UB's research results also signaled strong preference for the formal academic name as the University at Buffalo and the informal reference as UB. UB has defined its academic logo—the interlocking UB—and created an athletics identity that celebrates the university name and its strong relationship with the Buffalo community. Additionally, UB has introduced a new athletics spirit mark and tagline to boldly build pride and connect it to UB's stature as the state's largest and most comprehensive public university.
How is the identity and brand strategy being integrated with other schools and departments at UB?
Research has shown us that the strongest universities are inherently united when it comes to their brand. UB's identity and brand platform will permeate through the entire university, creating consistency in messaging and showing the university's impact.
We have created an architecture to our name and logo identity that integrates all of UB's academic, administrative and athletics departments under a singular university name and related logos. The School of Architecture and Planning, School of Law and UB Athletics will have the most notable brand and identity changes, with the University at Buffalo identity now fully integrated into these schools and department.
Specifically, how is the identity and brand strategy being integrated with UB Athletics?
UB Athletics branding is a strategic part of the university's comprehensive identity and branding initiative. Research has shown us that the strongest universities are inherently united when it comes to their brand. Athletics is a reputation builder for the university and the university brand is being integrated into UB Athletics, as is the case with every other school and department across UB.
Isn't "branding" more appropriate for consumer products than for higher education institutions?
Societal and economic pressures on higher education do not mean that colleges and universities should start packaging themselves as consumer products or as corporate entities. Colleges and universities need to be clearer about their purpose, meaning and unique value. For the University at Buffalo, this means identifying core ideas and principles that drive the university's many diverse departments, schools and initiatives.
From this core set of ideas, principles and values, the university will achieve a clearer sense of its identity. Then, the university can begin to communicate more clearly and consistently, internally and externally, about its mission and its impact on the world.
How prevalent are identity and branding initiatives in higher education?
According to Inside Higher Ed, identity and brand strategy initiatives are still relatively new in higher education, but over the past decade many higher education leaders have begun to recognize the importance of brand strategy.
The article refers to a white paper on "The State of Higher Ed Branding," which reports on a survey of 125 chief marketing officers (CMOs) at colleges and universities nationwide. Seventy-six percent of the marketing officials who responded to the survey said they had done a brand strategy project. When they were asked to name the primary objective of a brand strategy project, the top two responses were "to increase institutional awareness" (60 percent) and "to achieve enrollment goals" (38 percent).
Survey respondents also said they relied heavily on outside consultants as partners in the brand development process: 92 percent used market research partners, 78 percent used brand strategy consultants and 61 percent used creative partners.
Why is the university working with an external firm for this initiative?
This has been a university-led initiative from the very beginning and will continue to be so. UB's internal and external stakeholders were involved from the beginning and throughout this process.
The university sought strategic and creative partners specializing in higher education with which to collaborate in the development of a comprehensive identity and brand strategy. The firms with which UB partnered have an exceptional track record of collaborating with large, complex public research institutions, and delivering compelling identity and brand strategies that have helped to catalyze their respective reputations.
The contract was awarded to Ologie, a certified woman-owned business in New York State and based in Columbus, Ohio. For the research component of the brand and identity strategy, Ologie partnered with Marshall Strategy, located in San Francisco, Calif.
Ologie and Marshall Strategy have collaborated successfully with some of the nation's leading research universities and medical schools. These firms bring a track record of accomplishment in successfully helping higher education institutions define their purpose and tell their stories in engaging ways.
Why didn't UB's marketing students/faculty manage this initiative?
UB faculty, students, staff, administrative and academic leaders are lending their expertise to the project. All schools and units of the university have been closely involved in the development of this identity and brand strategy. Their participation is absolutely essential to the implementation of this strategy, as well.
Because of the complex nature and aggressive timeline of this initiative, Ologie and Marshall were selected as university partners due to their high level of very specific expertise in higher education marketing and branding—especially for large, complex public research universities such as UB.
We needed this type of expertise and ability to focus exclusively on UB's identity and branding projects in order to move forward in an expeditious manner.
How will UB know that the initiative is successful?
Implementing a successful identity and brand strategy will produce many benefits to the university. We will strengthen our reputation on a global basis which will result in attracting and retaining talented students, staff and world-class faculty, and heighten the UB community's pride and engagement. We will secure more research grants, increase fundraising, align the new identity and brand strategy throughout the university, and create a destination for the best and brightest student-athletes.
How do you think the new brand strategy will be received by potential and current students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community?
We know our brand positioning and storytelling framework will resonate positively with current and future members of the UB community because we were diligent, inclusive and comprehensive in our approach to developing our strategy. UB's internal and external stakeholders were involved from the very beginning and throughout this process, and will continue to be so.
We've built the "Here is How" framework story based on the results of thousands of hours of research, and we tested that story with our key stakeholders. This story evoked strong feelings of pride, confidence and accomplishment.
What are the key outcomes of this initiative?
This initiative will result in:
An understanding of current awareness and perceptions of the university among local, national and international audiences.
A positioning for the University at Buffalo that is singular, differentiated, sustainable and inspiring, and broad enough to be relevant and appropriate across the university.
Brand attributes and personality traits that help identify our key messages and guide our brand voice across all communications.
Key audience messaging created to resonate with all internal and external audiences.
Comprehensive guidelines for interpreting and executing the positioning, messaging and visual design.
A communications plan for internal and external communication initiatives, including tools, templates, priorities and schedules for rollout and governance.
UB will continuously assess our brand strength using quantitative and qualitative benchmarks. Continuous assessment will ensure that we can adapt to audience demands and market trends. We will provide regular progress reports on brand success to UB's leadership.
Now that the identity and brand strategy has been developed and is ready to be implemented, what comes next?
Going forward over the next five to 10 years, we'll tell UB's story from the inside out as the new identity and brand strategy is aligned throughout the university. Each of UB's schools, units and departments will tell their unique story through their own platforms—student, faculty and alumni engagements, media channels, events and physical spaces.
The identity and brand strategy was a collaborative effort from the beginning, and continued input from the UB community will be critical to its success. UB's brand strength will be measured using quantitative and qualitative benchmarks, and continuous assessment will ensure that we can adapt to audience demands and market trends.
Long-term success will mean a strengthened University at Buffalo. We'll see an ascending global reputation and heightened pride and engagement among students, faculty, staff and alumni. We'll attract and retain talented students and world-class faculty, enabling the university to secure more research grants, increase fundraising and create a destination for the best and brightest.

Being a Caregiver means slipping in and out of people's lives. You have moments of impact in long days where you are sometimes seen as an intruder. A person in declining abilities often has a strong, independent spirit. I applaud. Even though it is often harder to take care of them, they are still embracing life. They don't want to give up the reins.
I'm caring for a 92 year old woman who gets up before I arrive to wash and dress beforehand. She wants to do things herself. She doesn't always like it when I clean because it bothers her that she can't do it herself. I have to respect her feelings even when I know there is much to be done that her family requests.
Contrast that with a woman who is a love but is dependent. When I wash her, she doesn't lift a finger to help. Her family further supports her dependence by insisting she not act on her own and video monitors her every move. She had a stroke but needs to push herself more because she is loosing her physical abilities.
Independence is a vital key to a rewarding life. It can sometimes get in the way of reasonable care but you have to respect a person that is fighting to retain a self of self.


Having a vehicle is one of the modern convenience that we enjoy today. It can bring you to any place where you want to be. However, worrying about its safety proves to be a concern since it is unavoidable that a person might have to go to an unfamiliar neighborhood, busy parking areas, and dimly lit places.
Thieves might find it hard to steal the car itself because there are already a bunch of safety features installed in it. In addition to that, buying a vehicle requires a lot of paperwork so selling a stolen car will be difficult.
Unlike cars, wheels are easily sold or traded. According to United States' National Insurance Crime Bureau Senior Vice President and COO Jim Schweitzer, the parts of today's cars and trucks are often worth more than the entire vehicle and may be easier to move and sell. However, there is a way to protect your wheels and this is through the use of wheel locks.
Wheel locks look like an ordinary tire lug, but it is an effective means of ensuring that your wheels and rims are burglar-proof. These security devices are equipped with simple technology will prevent a vehicle from moving freely, once they are attached to the rims.
But unlike an ordinary tire lug which can be removed by a wrench, wheel locks are hard to remove because doing so would require the use of a set of unique keys that come with it. Even if thieves use a powerful tool, these little guys are unbreakable. There is just enough space for the key to fit around them and this space is very small for a prying tool to fit into.
Aside from what has been previously mentioned, there are still other benefits that wheel locks can provide. For one, it is cheaper to buy wheel locks than to replace an entire set of wheels and rims. The vehicle cannot do its job without the wheels,so the car owner has no other choice but to buy one once the wheelsare stolen.
Though some wheel locks may not live up to its name, the mere presence of one could easily discourage would-be thieves because taking these wheel locks out will still take time and they run the risk of being caught. Lastly, having peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is secured is priceless.
Splines are teeth or ridges around a shaft. These ridges are then fitted inside the grooves of a parallelshaft. Easy to install and are often chosen because of their reliability, spline drive wheel locks have a large seating surface or that part of the nut that makes contact with the wheel.
It has a closed end design and has a strong gripping power and stud engagement. Common types of splines include involute, parallel key, crowned, serrations, helical, and ball splines. Spline drive wheel locks are a perfect fit for vehicles with thick lug-design diameter.
As the term suggests, these wheel locks are made from solid alloy finish and are intended to secure alloy wheels. They are well-constructed and aim to provide smooth security for the vehicle as it needs a specialty socket when it is time to remove the locks.
While its exterior surface is smooth, its interiors have a rigged pattern making it hard to open using a regular wrench. Attached to the rim's exterior, this type of wheel lock can only be opened using its especially designed unique key.
This type of wheel lock has a different form compared with the other models. The clamp wheel lock is usually attachedto the wheels,and the vehicle will not be able to move at all unless the clamp is removed. Also called as a wheel boot or a parking boot, the security it offers will prevent the vehicle from rolling or being towed.
It has a 60-degree cone that connects the thread and the head on the bolt, enabling it to fit right into the nut's wheel.
This type of wheel lock has a curved area where the thread connects with the bolt.
Wheel locks with this type of seat have a flat washer where the wheel and the thread connects.
What to look for in a wheel lock?
Wheel locks come in different sizes, so it is important to take note first of the size of the vehicle's wheel. There is also a need to check with the manufacturer if the wheel lock is compatible with the wheels of car where it will be attached.
A set of wheel locks come in four, but there are also some brands which offer more. Having more than four is more advantageous because there is already a replacement unit once one of the four gets lost. It may be more expensive than buying a set of four,but it is worth the price is given that there will be no need to buy a new set of four locks if you only need one to replace the lost one.
Choose one which is easy to install and simple enough to be used. It should also be easy to remove with the use of its key. While one may want a wheel lock which is easy to work with, it should not be as easy for the thieves to manipulate it without facing any difficulty. Try to find one which has both features.
Look for a wheel lock whose manufacturer does not offer a universal key which can open all wheel locks that they produce. The protection provided by the wheel lock lies on the fact that it has a unique key designed explicitly for each bolt. Having a universal key capable of opening all wheel locks is a breach of such security feature.
Reading on other customer's experience will also help in deciding which type or brand of wheel locks to buy. There are a lot of online product review sites that one may visit to find out other person's firsthand experience about the specific wheel lock he intends to buy.
Purchasing a high-quality wheel lock is worth investing to,but expensive does not always mean that it is the best. The best one will not be the same for everyone. It is important to consider first the specifications of a wheel lock, and if it matches the vehicle and the wheels, it will be used with.
One may also consider looking for a wheel lock which has an anti-corrosive property. It should be covered in chrome plating to prevent it from rusting.
Most importantly, the material from which the wheel lock was made from should be durable and of high quality to ensure that the locks will be able to secure your wheels. Wheel locks are madeof different steel and titanium alloys,and some of these materials are stronger than the others. If unsure of what to buy, going for one which was made from chrome vanadium or titanium alloy may be the best option as these materials are known to be durable, abrasion-resistant, and non-corrosive.
Acorn Gorilla Guard Locks is packed with security features that make it an excellent choice for a wheel lock. Socketed and round, it cannot be unlocked by using vice grips. The only possible way to open it without using its unique keys is to hammer, which is not a good move for would-be thieves for it is noisy and will attract attention.
In unlocking it using its keys, one can feel that the pressure is distributed among all the components of the bolt which prevents breakage and bending.
This wheel lock comes in three different sizes—1/2 inch, 12 mm x 1.25, and 12mm x 1.5. It is made of steel and can withstand the weight of up to 100 lbs.
However, signs of rusting are visible within a year of usage, and this can affect the lock's reliability.
McGard is known to use tempered steel in its wheel locks exclusively,and this type of material is a pretty sturdy one. In addition, the wheel locks are also coated in chrome finish protecting it against rust, in addition to its triple layer of nickel.
The wheel lock itself has a steel collar which guides the key to be in perfect alignment with the lock pattern. McGard's selling point, though, is that it has an infinite number of pattern combinations which makes each lock and key combination unique. But, in this strong point also lies the model's weakness—losing the unique would mean buying another set.
Made from hardened steel, these wheel locks may be one of the hardest locks in the market Made with triple-nickel plating and chrome finish, these wheel locks have a good defense against corrosion because of extreme weather conditions.
While they are primarily made to be used for Toyota cars, they offer high performance and are durable. They also weigh the same as the original lugs so there is no need to rebalance the tire, once these wheel locks are installed.
The set also comes with a manual that presents easy to follow instructions for installation and removal.
Since they are intended to be used for Toyota cars, they may not work efficiently with other car brands and models.
However, some people reported that they found it difficult to remove these wheel locks, once they are installed.
This particular wheel lock is used for trailers and heavy vehicles with its smooth exterior, and an interior made up of an alloy of materials which has undergone intense smelting, making it durable and damage-resistant.
There is no need to install this clamp-type wheel lock since it only needs to be wrapped and locked around the wheels and the vehicle will not move an inch.
It also comes with two sets of keys,so there is no need to buy a whole new set if the keys get lost.
One of the disadvantages of this wheel lock is its weight for it is quite heavy.
Its powder coated finish protects the lock from corrosion, and it can fit any wheel given its universal design. Made from heavy-duty material which cannot be easily damaged using pliers, wrench, and other power tools.
On the other hand, small tools or pick will not work as well with this wheel lock because of its pick-resistant internal mechanism. Furthermore, it is equipped with triple-lock system, adding in extra layers of security.
However, this wheel lock may be removed by using a sledge hammer, though it will take some time. To prevent this from happening, extra chains and bolts may be used to reinforce the vehicle's security.
One should consider adding wheel locks as part of the vehicle's security system. It will also help if the car owners themselves will practice basic security measures to avoid attracting unscrupulous individuals and keep their vehicle safe and protected. Before leaving the car, make sure that the ignition switch is turned off and the car keys are removed. Only leave the car in a secure parking area.

Sam Bankman-Fried Says He Has 'Close to Nothing' Left After $26 Billion Wipeout
DAILY MAVERICK | BUSINESS - DM LISTEN
Sam Bankman-Fried, who at one point was worth $26 billion, claims he now has "close to nothing."
The fallen crypto mogul held all his assets in his now-bankrupt FTX exchange and sister trading house Alameda Research, he said in a video interview with columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday.
Bankman-Fried, 30, who remains in the Bahamas, said he's left with just one working credit card linked to a bank account with $100,000. He added that he's disclosing everything and has no hidden funds.
Also read: Bankman-Fried Denies Trying to Commit Fraud at Collapsed FTX
Once considered the crypto industry's wunderkind, Bankman-Fried is now at the center of legal and regulatory probes into whether his empire mishandled customer funds. The restructuring expert who took over FTX in bankruptcy, John J. Ray III, has said it was the worst failure of corporate controls he'd ever seen.
In a sworn declaration last month, Ray said advisers told financial institutions to freeze withdrawals and reject any instructions from Bankman-Fried. The documents also indicated that Alameda had lent $1 billion to Bankman-Fried and that FTX Group funds were used to buy homes and other personal items for employees.
Bankman-Fried was asked about the company's real estate purchases, including reports that his parents were provided with a home.
"I don't know the details of the house for my parents — I know it was not intended to be their long-term property, it was intended to be the company's property," he said. Other purchases were made so employees who relocated to the Bahamas "had an easy way to find a comfortable life that they'd be willing to move and help build out the product."
Bankman-Fried became one of the world's wealthiest people in just a few years after starting Alameda and then FTX, which had more than 1 million customers globally before its collapse. He won backing for his exchange from hedge funds and venture capitalists, while Alameda posted trading profits that he said he would use to sway politics and support nonprofits that align with his "effective altruism" philosophy.
Then it all came crashing down. As he told it, his swift demise began in early November when crypto news site CoinDesk reported on Alameda's balance sheet, showing that a token issued by FTX, FTT, made up about a quarter of the trading house's $14.6 billion in assets.
In just about a week, his empire spiraled into bankruptcy, wiping out ...

Queer women pushing each other to new heights
By Henrik Eger
Tangle Members Lee Thompson and Lauren Rile Smith Photo: Michael Emilio
Seven women of all backgrounds collide and are changed forever in "Life Lines," one of Philadelphia's most dynamic circus-theater shows.
The much-talked about Tangle Movement Arts was founded in 2011 by Lauren Rile Smith, a Philadelphia poet and performer.
In this interview, Rebecca MoDavis and Maura Kirk, two of Tangle's aerial artists, talk openly about their experiences on and off the flying trapeze, revealing how even the breakup of dysfunctional relationships and the bringing of new life into this world can lead to beautiful new breakthroughs.
PGN: No one is born a natural acrobat. How did you discover your interest and hone your skills in one of the most dangerous forms of art?
Maura Kirk: My flair for the dramatic was innate: I danced competitively from a young age, did community theater and generally took every opportunity to get on stage. In my mid-20s, I ended a long-term abusive relationship. The day my restraining order was finalized was the same day that I learned you could take aerial classes at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts. I had never even considered that it was something you could learn as an adult. I signed up for my first intro class that night, so my aerial practice has always been entwined with the drive to gain strength and independence — and trust my intuition.
Rebecca MoDavis: In 2009, my roommate convinced me to accompany her in a quest for entertaining non-drinking activities, and we ended up in an aerial-arts class. Within the span of a class time, I was obsessed with the physical high and the potential to conquer a specific fear.
PGN: Writers, actors and dancers can make mistakes and rectify them. Aerial artists, swinging from one trapeze to another, cannot afford a single mistake. What did you learn about yourself and others while exposing yourself to life-enhancing, but also to life-threatening situations?
RM: Commitment. You cannot second-guess yourself or another person, whether that's in executing a trick, or in just physically showing up to practice. I value the weekly facetime of working with other women artists and the supportive environment for creative exploration.
PGN: Tangle Arts calls itself Philadelphia's "queer female aerial dance company." What does that mean to you personally and what do you hope to convey to your audience, including the next generation of girls and young women — ultimately, to all of us?
RM: My heart is in the telling of the female experience. To show the strength and beauty of women — together and alone. Tangle has provided a strong platform to express this philosophy, working collaboratively with women of varied artistic and personal backgrounds. I hope my own daughter will grow up being proud of her body, sexuality, and capabilities.
MK: Our queerness informs our relationships, the ways in which we relate to the world and the ways in which we depict ourselves on stage. I identify as a queer femme, and this cohort has been invaluable to me. It allows space for expression with a lack of presumptions. We've each experienced significant events and personal milestones throughout our time working together, and there's an understanding that an experience may be more nuanced or complex than a mainstream narrative would depict. We're able to give each other that space and explore it in our art. Not everyone in our company identifies as queer, and our audience is similarly diverse. The ideas of meaningful, supportive and complicated female relationships resonate deeply with all of us.
PGN: Is there anything else you would like to share?
RM: This is my first Tangle show since having a baby in January. I had to bring Jolene to half of our rehearsals. All the members have helped by including her in the stretching routines and occupying her while I get some trapeze time in. This situation wouldn't be possible in many other groups. I'm blown away, humbled and grateful to the company for accommodating this arrangement.

Researchers from the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) and the Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMCP), in collaboration with the IATA, have developed a biotechnological tool to produce, in a very efficient manner, anti-fungal proteins in plants. The results of this research, that could impact the agri-food and pharmaceutical sectors, have been published this week in the Plant Biotechnology Journal.
Disease-causing fungi that infect plants, animals and humans pose a serious threat to human and animal health, food security and ecosystem resilience. More people die every year from fungal infections than from malaria. Furthermore, fungal infections can have fatal consequences for at-risk immunocompromised patients with HIV/AIDS and organ transplantation, among others. In addition, fungi are a challenge to food security because they destroy major crops globally and contaminate food and feed with mycotoxins that are detrimental to animal and human health.
Maria Coca, researcher at CRAG and one of the senior authors of the study, explains that "only a few classes of antifungal agents are available today, and even these are not fully effective due to the development of resistance, host toxicity, and undesirable side effects. Many of these compounds do not even comply with the regulations, and therefore they cannot be used. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel antifungals, whose properties and mechanisms of action represent improvements on the existing ones, and which can be applied in diverse fields, including crop and postharvest protection, preservation in cosmetics, materials and food, and animal and human health." Coca's research group, in collaboration with the IATA's researcher Jose F. Marcos, aims to develop new antifungal compounds based on the antifungal proteins (AFPs) secreted by filamentous fungi. The problem is that the synthesis of these compounds is extremely complex; hence their exploitation requires efficient, sustainable and safe production systems.
The CSIC researcher at the IBMCP José Antonio Daros is an expert in viruses that infect plants. Through genetic engineering, Daros and his team in Valencia managed to modify the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) so that, instead of producing its own pathogenic proteins, it produced other proteins of interest. In Barcelona, the team led by Maria Coca implemented this tool to produce antifungal proteins in leaves of the Nicotiana benthamiana plant -a plant from the tobacco family widely used in research- discovering that these leaves produced large quantities of these new antifungals.
In addition, the researchers demonstrated that extracts recovered from the N. benthamiana plants are active against pathogenic fungi, being able to protect the tomato plant from the infection by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, better known as grey mould.
The work of the CRAG, IBMCP and IATA researchers shows that the plants can be used as biofactories of antifungal proteins for commercial purposes.

Chinese homebuyers are focusing their search in the high tier, according to a report by Zillow.
The average U.S. homebuyer searching on Zillow views homes listed for around $253,000. The average Chinese homebuyer viewing U.S. homes for sale on Zillow views homes listed for a much higher $572,000.
In contrast, home searches in these metro areas make up just 7.5% of U.S. home search traffic.
These are all cities with higher than average home values. But when looking at what homes Chinese homebuyers are viewing within these metro areas, Zillow finds these homebuyers are still focused on high-tier homes — a good thing for sellers and their agents, given the excess supply of high-tier homes in California during 2017.
Each year, California receives a net gain of about 200,000 foreign immigrants. On the other hand, the state experiences a net loss of residents to other states.
While most foreign-born California residents are from Mexico, during the past decade most of these recent immigrants have originated from an Asian country, with more hailing from China than any other nation, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
However, there are some headwinds to international immigration in California.
The U.S. dollar is currently trading "strong" against most other currencies. This means the dollar is more valuable.
A strong dollar sounds good, but it can set back international investment considerably. The Chinese Yuan continues to falter against the dollar, meaning Chinese homebuyer purchasing power also continues to decrease. In other words, Chinese and other international homebuyers are able to qualify for less home today than, say, a year ago with the same amount of foreign money.
Therefore, while Chinese homebuyers are looking primarily in the high tier today, watch for their sights to lower in the coming months, as long as the dollar remains stronger than their home currency.
