The 1851 Census, taken on 30th March, showed a total of 91 people living on the Island up from 56 in 1841. 63 were military personnel on the Island up from the 26 a decade earlier in 1841. The Infantry detachment, this time from the 4th (King's Own) Regiment of Foot, consisted of 1 Officer, 1 SNCO, 1 JNCO and 19 Infantrymen so just two soldiers less than previously. A Master Gunner who also acted as the Barrack Sergeant assisted by an Invalid Gunner provided the permanent Island Artillery presence and there was still a civilian Canteen Manager or Lessee. The increase in numbers came from a regular detachment from the Royal Artillery consisting of 1 Officer, 1 Sergeant, 5 JNCO's and 32 Gunners.
The Island painted by Queen Victoria in 1852 a year after the census. The married quarters and soldiers barrack are the buildings on the left and are still standing today.
There were 10 families on the Island, the same as in 1841. Whether this is coincidence or that there were just 10 married quarters available I'm not sure but there were some married soldiers that were unaccompanied on the Island. In any case two families were from the detachment of the 4th, five from the Gunner detachment as well as the Master Gunner's and Invalid Gunner's families and the Canteen Lessee family. There were four boys and thirteen girls on the Island. The Census provided a bit more detail than previously. Individuals provided their place of birth not just the country. This makes it easier to find out where the families soldiers and their settled after they were discharged and although I haven't been able to trace all the soldiers, names like Smith are too widespread to be sure if you have found the right one, those I am reasonably certain about I have provided some detail in below for anyone looking for a link to the Island however please note places were in their original counties so Woolwich would be in Kent rather than London.
An aerial photo from the 1970's shows the soldiers barrack in white. The smaller building behind it housed the Canteen on the top floor where the Canteen Manager or Lessee would also have had his quarter. The Barrack block to the left housed the married quarters and also included the Master Gunners stores.
The year before the census had been quite a colourful one on the Island. The 4th had taken over from the 82nd Regiment of Foot in April of 1850. The Regiment was based in the Citadel and the detachment on the Island was commanded by Captain Josiah Hort. There was something of a scandal when Lt Arthur Harris accused other officers, including the Artillery Commander (a Lieutenant), of bullying and Captain Hort of being complicit in allowing it to happen. It all escalated quickly as placards signed by Harris's father defaming Hort appeared around Plymouth. Harris admitted to distributing them which eventually led to his Court Martial and dismissal for defamation and ignoring the Chain of Command. Hort's father also got involved and accusations of cowardice and bullying were thrown by both sides. Harris senior was eventually jailed for libel and by the time of the Census all the officers involved were posted away from the Island. A few months later the Master Gunner David Edmunds and Canteen Lessee, Mr Couch were also replaced as they had been the masterminds behind the 1850 Brandy Smuggling debacle. The pair had arranged to smuggle some 250 barrels of brandy from a French Merchantmen onto the Island, not declare it to customs and sell it on for a profit. Presumably they arranged to do it when the Officers were on the mainland but they were however foiled by the Customs Officers and by the time of the Census Master Gunner Edmonds was in jail and Mr Couch on the run.
The Scandal involving Capt Hort and Lt Harris
The 4th (King's Own) Regiment of Foot detachment on the Island during the census on 30th March 1851 were commanded by Captain George Kennedy who had Colour Sergeant Russells, Corporal Hunt and 19 Privates under his Command. The 4th were originally raised in 1860 for service in the Tangier Garrison by Charles Trelawney who coincidentally had been Governor of Plymouth and St Nicholas Island from 1896 to 1722. The Regiment was raised equally in London and the West Country. Originally named the 2nd Tangier Regiment it was renamed a few times before becoming known as the 4th (King's Own) in 1751. Subsequent Army Reforms saw it amalgamated and become part of the King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment in 1881, King's Own Royal Regiment (1921), King's Own Royal Border Regiment (1959) and is currently part of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. The detachment were pretty much evenly split with a Scot commanding11 Irishmen and 10 Englishmen. Most of the English came from the South West predominantly Devon and Somerset. The detachment is listed below
Captain George Kennedy, age 34, Unmarried from Peebles, Peeblesshire, Scotland.

Ann Russells, 3 months, Devonport, Devon
Catherine Bourk, 13, Servant, Dundrum, Tipperary.

Captain George Kennedy was still serving in 1854 with the Regiment in the Crimea having been promoted to Major. Colour Sergeant John Russells moved back to Ireland and was on the records as being pensioned in Dublin. Corporal Joseph Hunt was discharged in 1861 by which time he had been promoted to Sergeant. He was married by then, to Harriet, Joseph was employed as an accountant and he with Harriet settled in Clerkenwell in the East End of London where they were recorded in the 1871 Census.
Private James Bow was discharged as medically unfit a few years after the census in 1853 after 22 years service. It appears he was a bit of a character having been imprisoned 3 times during his service though his record doesn't indicate the offences; Indifferent was the word used to describe his conduct on discharge. He had served in New South Wales and the East Indies, including Madras before initially settling in Stockport after discharge before moving back to Kilkenny in Ireland.
On the other hand Private Frederick Powell did progress through the ranks and after enlisting in 1842 at Bristol was promoted to Corporal in 1853 and Sergeant in 1855 before being discharged as medically unfit in 1856. He had married Matilda and they settled back in Bristol with their two daughters where Frederick was working for the Customs Office as an Extra Tide Waiter. Essentially a Tide Waiter boarded ships to check their cargoes to determine and collect any customs due. By the 1871 Census Frederick had retired but Martha was making some coin by painting pottery. A son, Frederick had been born in 1863. Unfortunately Frederick Senior passed away in Bristol during 1873.
Private Thomas Gordon was discharged in 1860 having enlisted in 1838. His conduct was described as good despite having been Court Martialled and imprisoned twice and having been promoted three times to Corporal and reduced back to Private shortly afterwards. The final time he was promoted he only managed to hold onto the rank for 3 days before being reduced back to Private. He appears to have moved back to Ireland on discharge.
Of the rest Private William Skinner is shown on the Army Pension records as having been discharged in 1856 and collecting his pension in Plymouth until 1867. The pension records also show Private Robert Norris was discharged in 1854 and moved around the West Country collecting his pension at Bath, Salisbury and Dorchester. The 1871 Census shows him married to Mary Ann and living in Somerset before passing in 1876.
The insignia of the Royal Artillery
The Royal Artillery detachment was commanded by Lt Henry Talbot whose NCO's were Sergeant Robert Thomas, Corporal Farist, two Bombardiers and two Acting Bombardiers with 32 Gunner/Drivers. The rank of Driver referred to the Driver of the horse teams that pulled the Artillery until the end of World War I when the rank was dropped as the Artillery became motorised. It's worth noting that Corporal was a rank at that time in the Royal Artillery and was senior to a Bombardier. At the time the next full non commissioned rank to Corporal in the Engineers was Second Corporal and Bombardier was the equivalent rank in the Artillery. Lance Corporal and its Artillery equivalent of Acting Bombardier were not full ranks at this stage. In 1920 the Royal Artillery did away the rank of Corporal and replaced it with Bombardier. At the time the Royal Artillery was organised into Companies and Battalions. The Gunners are recorded as being either from the 7th Company, 11th Battalion or 1st Company, 12th Battalion meaning the detachment was drawn from both units or they were rotating at the time of the census. There was also the Master Gunner John Blain who doubled up as the Barrack Sergeant and his assistant an Invalid Gunner both were held on a separate strength to the main Artillery detachment. Corps such as the Engineers and Artillery recruited from across the United Kingdom and it's Dominions. The Gunner detachment consisted of 22 Englishmen, 9 Scots, 7 Irishmen, a Welshman and a Canadian. The Gunners are listed below

Lt Henry Lynch Talbot was the son of Captain Lynch Talbot and followed his father into the Royal Artillery. He enlisted as an 18 year old in 1846 and served abroad in Bermuda and India where he was awarded the India Medal with clasps for Lucknow. He progressed through the ranks making Lieutenant Colonel by 1867 before being pensioned in 1876. By then he had married Henrietta in 1856 and had 6 children, Ada, Henry, Frederick, John, Ethel and Lucy. Unfortunately a 7th child, Blanche died a year after being born. The family settled in Halifax, Novia Scotia in Canada. Henry passed a couple of years later in 1878.
The Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich. Both Lt Talbot and Sgt Thomas were amongst those born in Woolwich into Gunner families and followed in their fathers footsteps by enlisting in the Regiment
Sgt Robert Thomas enlisted in 1829 aged 13 as a Trumpeter. Born in Woolwich his father quite possibly served in the Artillery, Woolwich being home to the Royal Artillery Depot. He saw service in Gibraltar and Barbados before he was discharged in 1854 as medically unfit. He and his wife, had another 4 children, Mary, Ellen, Julia and Arthur making 5 in all. The family settled in Ipswich after Robert was discharged and ran the Dove Inn in St Helen's Street which is still a pub today.

Bombardier John Wallace had a good career making it to Sergeant Major before being discharged at his own request in 1871. He had served abroad in the Crimea and China and was awarded medals for Distinguished Service in the Field, Crimea with clasps for Sebastopol and Inkerman) as well as the Turkish War Medal issued by the Ottoman Empire to Allied soldiers in the Crimea whilst with the Artillery. He transferred to the Commissariat Corps in 1859 as a Sergeant but had to take a reduction in rank to 2nd Corporal but was quickly promoted through the ranks and was a Sergeant Major and 1st Class Clerk by 1866. He was transferred to the Army Service Corps on their formation in 1870. Unfortunately I can't trace John after he was discharged, it is quite possible he emigrated but John Wallace is a very common name.
The Crimea Medal with all clasps.
The other Bombardier, Walter Flockhart also made it to Sergeant Major but stayed with the Royal Artillery. He married Isabella in Lewisham, London during 1853. Isabella was from Woolwich where the Royal Artillery Depot Barracks are and Lewisham is literally just down the road so it seems Walter was posted there by the time they were married. The 1861 census shows him at Woolwich living with his family which by then included daughters Jessie, Mary and Elizabeth. Mary was born in Nottingham in 1858 suggesting the family may have been briefly posted there before returning to Woolwich where Elizabeth was born in 1860. A son, James, was born in 1864 and Walter appears to have passed away, possibly while serving before the next census as Isabella is shown in 1871 as a widow living in Plumstead (again just down the road from Woolwich) and working as a Needlewoman. Military financial records show an Isabella Flockhart getting work as a needlewoman at the Artillery Barracks in Woolwich up until 1889. Isabella then moved up to Greenock, Scotland with James and Elizabeth where James is shown working as a clerk.
At 16 years old Richard Routledge enlisted in 1848, an Acting Bombardier on the Island he was a Corporal when he was discharged in 1854 as medically unfit. He married a local Devonian from Kingsand, Mary Ann before he was discharged. Although Kingsand was in Cornwall after the boundary changes in 1844 when Mary was born it was in Devon. The pair went to Northampton immediately after Richard was discharged where he joined the Northampton Militia as a full time reservist. They relocated back to Devon within a few months and Richard transferred to the Devon Artillery Militia. By the time of the 1861 Census Richard was still a full time reservist and had been promoted to Colour Sergeant, a rank associated with the Quartermasters or Stores. The family, now including William, John, Mary, Emily and Eliza was in Militia married quarters in Devonport. They were still there in 1871. Richard was now a Battery Sergeant Major and the family had continued to grow with Annie, Frederick, Maude, Rosina and Charles added to the brood making 10 children in total!! John, the second eldest is shown as having joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Sailor and was on leave from the training ship HMS Impregnable. But the family continued to grow. The 1881 census shows Richard now 49 is still a Sergeant Major but another two children have been born, Albert and Lillian making a grand total of 12 of whom 9 are still at home in Devonport. Emily is working as an Upholsteress, Annie is teaching, Frederick is a Plumbers Apprentice, Maud is a Milliners Apprentice and the rest are scholars apart from Eliza who is not working. Richard passed away in 1889 but Mary Anne is still living in Devonport during the 1991 census with 4 of the children. Frederick now 27 is a Painter, Rosina is helping at home, Charles is a Caulker and Lilian a scholar. Sometime before the 1901 census Mary Anne moved in with her daughter Maud who had married George Mounstephen a railway clerk with Great Western Railway and Maud's two children Hilda and Winifred at 111 Wilton Street, Devonport. They are still together 1911 and living at 7 Alma Road, Devonport. George had been promoted to Chief Railway Clerk, Hilda had left home but Winifred was still there with a younger brother George. Mary Anne eventually passed away at the grand age of 84 in 1916 still in Devonport. Most of the family stayed in the Plymouth area and I will do a separate blog on what happened to them especially as not only was the family large but a couple of the children had large families as well.
The Training Ship HMS Impregnable which John Routledge would have training on at the time of the census
Gunner/Driver John Sinclair was discharged as medically unfit after nearly 8 years service in 1855. He was imprisoned once after attacking and cutting a Gunner with a clasp knife early in his career. He moved back to Scotland with his parents after leaving the Artillery and found work as an Auctioneers Clerk initially in Wick where he married Elizabeth in 1858. They had 4 children, Adam, John, George and Elizabeth but by the time of the 1871 census he was a Widower living near Edinburgh. Elizabeth seems to have passed around the time baby Elizabeth was born and John is living with his 4 children and a lady called Dolina McAdie who he had married by the 1881 census. They had their own child, Dolina and the other 4 were still living with them in 1881. Adam was a Wood Brokers Clerk and John a Bankers Clerk whilst the other two were at school. Both John and Dolina seem to have passed by the 1891 Census.
Gunner/Driver Henry Webber enlisted in 1849 and reached the rank of Corporal before being discharged in 1869 at his own request. He had a bit of a mixed career having been up and down the ranks a couple of times and serving one spell in prison for desertion. He saw a bit of the world having served abroad in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), China, Malta and British North America (Canada). The records show he intended to live in Woolwich after leaving but there is no record of him doing so.
Gunner/Driver Collin Kempt had a good career. He went on to reach the rank of Master Gunner 3rd Class in 1865 before being discharged in 1870 after completing his engagement after 22 years service including abroad in Malta and Corfu. He married Jane Menzies in 1871 and were living in Inverness.
Gunner/Driver Thomas Shellock ended up as a Sergeant before requesting his own discharge in 1870 having served 22 years including in the Crimea. The 1861 census shows him still unmarried living in Barracks in Woolwich. He initially moved to Essex with his wife Elizabeth after leaving the Army and his pension record shows him moving around the country collecting it at Ipswich, Glasgow and Londonderry in 1875 when he disappears from the record.
Gunner/Driver Frederick Adams reached the rank of Corporal before his discharge in 1870 due to the reduction in the size of the Army. He served abroad in India and the Crimea where he took part in a number of major engagements. His Crimean Medal had clasps for Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sebastopol where he was wounded to the head in 1855 at Sebastopol. In common with most soldiers he was busted down to Gunner once after going AWOL but was promoted back to Corporal within 4 years. Fred settled in London to work as a glove cutter after leaving. In 1871 he was living with his wife Elizabeth, two daughters and son in Battersea and two more sons had arrived by the 1881 census with the family still in Battersea and Frederick still employed as a Glover. Ten years later Frederick is now working as a Club Manager but he may have been unwell as in 1893 he is admitted as an In-Pensioner in the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. However he refuses to stay unless Elizabeth is provided for, In-Pensioners have to give up their pension as part of the admittance process but don't pay any board or lodgings at the Hospital. It seems an arrangement for Elizabeth couldn't be made and Frederick goes back to living with Elizabeth in Poplar East London where they are still living in 1901.
Royal Hospital In Pensioners around the time Frederick Adams would have been admitted
The Canadian, Joseph Glass who was married but unaccompanied on the Island initially enlisted in 31st Regiment of Foot but transferred after less than a year to the Artillery. He never got promoted from Gunner/Driver and was discharged in 1857 as medically unfit. He settled in East London with his wife Mary Ann and 7 children living off his pension that was augmented with a small medical pension. Unfortunately Joseph passed away in 1863.
Having enlisted in 1848 William Saunders was discharged as a Battery Sergeant Major in 1868 having completed his terms of engagement. He had also seen active service in the Crimea having the Sebastopol clasp to his Crimean Medal. He had joined the Argyll and Bute Militia by 1871 and was living in Campbelltown. He was still there earning a living as a Club Manager in 1901 and was drawing his pension until 1904 around which time he seems to have passed away.
William Youson enlisted in 1847 and was discharged at his own request in 1868 having reached the rank of Sergeant. Another who served in the Crimea and earnt the Inkerman and Sebastopol clasps he also served in the East Indies, Corfu. Malta and Canada. He married Elizabeth Hanna in 1856 whilst posted to Woolwich but was back in Devonport in 1861. William died in Soham in 1899.
Of the rest I can find little information. Edward Wordsworth died in Fyzabad, India in 1858. In the same year Richard McPeak drowned in Bombay. William Pounsey was awarded the Indian Mutiny Medal with clasp for Lucknow but that is the only record of him. Robert Fleming was last heard of still serving as a Gunner at Hurst Castle in 1861. Henry Deery appears on a passenger list for San Francisco in 1860.
The Indian Mutiny Medal with Lucknow clasp
The Garrison was completed by the Barrack Sergeant and Master Gunner John Blain and his assistant Invalid Gunner James Johnston
Permanent Garrison Posts
Master Gunner and Barrack Sergeant
Master Gunner John Blain, 38, Married, Newtown Stewart, Wigtownshire, Scotland.
Ann Blain, 36, Married, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland.
Christina Blain, 6 months, Perth, Perthshire.
Helen Simpson, 13, Niece, Perth, Perthshire.
John was promoted from Sergeant in 1850 whether this was so he could replace the convicted brandy smuggler Master Gunner Dave Edmunds I'm not sure but it was just after Edmunds was arrested. He was discharged a year later as unfit for service after a brief spell in hospital for mental derangement aggravated by intemperate habits which seems to be a way of saying he liked a drink a bit too much for his own good. He had served abroad in both the West Indies and China. The family end up in Liverpool at the time of the 1861 Census living off his pension.
Invalid Gunner
Gunner James Johnston, 32, Married, Caledon, Tyrone, Ireland.
Mary Johnston, 26, Married, Aberdeen, Scotland
Helen Smith, 2, Niece, Aberdeen, Scotland
James retired in 1860 having completed the service required to qualify for a pension, 23 years in his case. The family stayed in the Plymouth area living in East Stonehouse and James made a living as a house carpenter. It seems he and his wife Mary may have adopted their niece Helen who is now listed as their daughter with the Johnston name. The family are still in Stonehouse a decade later living at 1 Barrack Street and James is now making a living as a Beer House Keeper. James passed away in 1887 leaving an estate of £205, about £28,000 today to Mary.
Finally there is the Canteen Manager and his family
Mr Charles F Warren, 29, Married, Devonport, Devon.
Elizabeth Warren, 27, Devonport, Devon.
Louisa A Warren, 5, Scholar. Devonport, Devon.
Charles took over the Canteen after it was offered for let following Mr Couch disappearing as he was wanted for the brandy smuggling incident the previous year. He was still the Canteen Manager and living on the Island a decade later by which time his wife had given birth to another daughter, Mary Ann in 1854. However by the 1871 Census the family is living in Stonehouse where Charles is working as a boot maker. Both his wife Elizabeth and youngest daughter Mary Ann are working as seamstresses suggesting it may have been a family business. The eldest daughter, Louisa has moved out. Elizabeth died in 1876 and in 1881 Charles is living alone but still working as a boot maker. Charles died in 1890.
That is a brief insight into the soldiers and their families on the Island in 1851. I think it is a fascinating snapshot of local social history giving an idea of how people lived back in the day. The Routledges and some of their children's families stayed in the Plymouth and Stonehouse area along with the Warrens, Johnstons, and Skinners. I know some folk will be keen to know if they had a relative who served on the Island so the next blog will cover what happened to those families that stayed in the Plymouth area.

My great grandfather lived on Drakes island with his wife in 1911. He was a Gunner RGA His name was Michael William Morley & wife Katie Morley. My great grandmother was pregnant with my Grandad & came by boat to the main land to go to Stonehouse Hospital but had my Grandad in the Royal Citadel on 13th August 1911, I believe maybe the only baby ever born there.
Bob King	on January 10, 2022 at 4:15 pm
Hi Michelle, Thanks for getting in touch and sharing this. I don't know about the only baby born in the Citadel but we know of 33 babies born on the Island!! Looking at the census which was taken on the 2 Apr there was a Michael William Morley originally from Westham in Sussex and Kate Morley originally from Southampton in married quarters at the Citadel, probably Lambhay Hill so they must have been transferred to the Island after that. Also living with them were their children Dorothy May (5), William George (3) and Arthur Ernest (2).

State's underproduction of housing has costly consequences
Home / News & Insights / NW REporter / State's underproduction of housing has costly consequences
Washington state fell 225,000 units short of meeting its housing needs – and that's just for the period from 2000-2005, according to a new report. That study was based on research by Up for Growth, a nonprofit coalition that produced 24 pages of findings titled Housing Underproduction in the U.S.
The housing report uncovered 23 "under-producing" states with shortages totaling 7.3 million units during the 2000-2005 timeframe. Collectively, that shortage represents about 5.4% of the country's total housing stock and "a supply and demand imbalance that is reflected in today's home prices." Within Washington, the housing shortage amounts to 7.5% of the total 2015 housing stock statewide.
"Despite steady economic and population growth, Washington state is experiencing a severe shortage of homes," said Mike Kingsella, executive director of Up for Growth. "The state's housing shortage holds back economic growth, creates financial hardships on families, and thwarts environmental sustainability."
The report should sound alarms, Kingsella noted while adding, "It also provides a clear path forward for how Washington can build the housing needed to accommodate continued growth. We hope the report is a resource for policymakers and advocates to use as they develop solutions to Washington's housing crisis."
The executive of one King County-based consortium with 175 member organizations and businesses said the evidence in the report "beckons a renewed urgency for bold action."
The analysis of Washington's housing shortages, developed in partnership with ECONorthwest, examined each county's ratio of housing units versus household formation from 2010-2017. Statewide, Washington only built .99 units of housing for every new household formed, which compares to the national average of 1.06.
Over the same timeframe, the stated added one unit of housing for every 2.24 primary jobs created, but the ratio was much higher in counties along the I-5 corridor. In King County, for example, 3.33 jobs were created for every new housing unit, suggesting home construction is lagging economic growth.

The report also assessed what kind of housing is missing in the state. An estimated 181,000 missing units – or 80% of the statewide shortage – are for families earning up to 80% of area median income. That suggests the housing shortage is disproportionately affecting lower income households, the report's authors stated.
"From across the state the clarion call for more affordable housing is coming through with intensity," said Marty Kooistra, executive director of the Housing Development Consortium, which partnered with Up for Growth to unveil the report. He said the evidence in the report "beckons a renewed urgency for bold action."
Marilyn Strickland, current CEO of Seattle Metro Chamber of Commerce who recently announced plans to run for public office, said the new report offers a wealth of data on the urgent need to pass policies that add more housing across the entire state.
Included in the report were four policy principles needed to build housing in a more sustainable and accessible way:
Increase and expand funding for affordable housing to enable more mixed-income housing and to significantly expand resources for affordable housing.
Sensible zoning and land use policy reforms that reduce or eliminate artificial barriers that unnecessarily raise housing costs.
Regional planning and accountability to accommodate growth and forecasted housing needs.
Public-private partnerships that enable denser and more affordable housing production.
Prioritizing denser housing near transit locations or in job-rich but housing-poor areas could yield significant benefits, according to Up For Growth, including: reducing vehicle miles traveled by 36 percent, increasing gross state product by $103 billion, and boosting state tax revenue by $660 million, "all relative to 20-year projections based on current development patterns." Moreover, researchers say this would require only 12 percent of the land used to deliver homes under current growth patterns.
State Senator Patty Kuderer, who chairs the Senate Housing Stability & Affordability Committee, said the report underscores the need to build more affordable housing. She pledged to work in the Legislature this session to increase investments and enact policy reforms that help all Washingtonians obtain stable housing for themselves and their families. "Our efforts must be thoughtful in meeting the immediate needs of all communities across Washington and reducing the chances of our state going through another housing crisis in the future," she remarked.
Up for Growth National Coalition's mission is "to improve the quality of life for working families and create communities that are accessible and affordable for all by promoting more housing close to jobs, efficient transportation, and desirable local amenities." Its member-stakeholders include housing experts and advocates, major employers, economists, transit and planning practitioners, environmentalists, chambers of commerce, municipal leaders, social equity champions, multifamily and single-family builders, lenders, investors, and others.
Last year, Up for Growth released the Seattle Housing Policy and Affordability Calculator, an interactive resource which helps users understand how to balance public policy goals with housing affordability and availability.

Apple Confirms Siri Support For Japanese On iOS 5.1
By Rue Liu/Updated: March 7, 2012 12:41 pm EST
Apple has just confirmed what we've suspected from a few leaks in the past that its Siri intelligent voice-controlled assistant will be supporting the Japanese language. The new language capability will be introduced on iOS 5.1, which will be available to some markets starting today and then rolled out over the next few weeks to Japan.
Currently, Siri only has support for English in the three accents of the US, UK, and Australia along with the languages French and German. Reports last month started surfacing that when users asked Siri what languages it speaks, that the feature itself revealed that it also spoke Japanese, which suggested that such support would be imminent.
As for other languages, Apple has promised that Siri will be able to support Korean, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish by the end of this year.


SOLANA BEACH — Vacations are great for discovering new places and meeting new people while leaving behind, at least for a while, the stress of everyday life, especially work.
That was easier said than done for Solana Beach resident and pediatric dentist William Rawlings during a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia last April.
"I knew I had to turn my dentist eye off but I can't," he said.
While in Cambodia, Rawlings said he couldn't help but notice the many children with poor or no teeth and facial abscesses.
When he returned home he serendipitously discovered Project Angkor through the California Society of Pediatric Dentists.
"The opportunity just fell in our laps," Rawlings said of the nonprofit that serves the people of the Kingdom of Cambodia by providing free health care to the underserved.
About eight months later he and his wife, Mary, were on a plane heading to Battambang in northwest Cambodia, where they would meet up with 70 other doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, assistants and lay people.
Upon their arrival they were joined by 30 Cambodian medical students who acted as assistants and translators.
An opening ceremony was followed by five full days of providing care to about 4,000 patients of all ages.
Rawlings said the mission was very well-organized, with patients triaged daily to serve their needs. However, some people waited overnight.
"Most of them were so far gone they weren't worth saving," he said, attributing the problems to a poor diet and lack of dental hygiene and education.
"Many of the people, we gave them their first toothbrush," he said.
He said few were scared and all were cooperative and appreciative. His most memorable patient was a 10-year-old monk.
"I haven't had too many Buddhist monks come into my practice in the past 32 years," he said. "His teeth were in the best shape of anyone I examined.
Rawlings said many of the people wore good-luck charms and arrived in their best clothing for the appointments.
Rawlings was part of Project Angkor's fourth humanitarian mission to Cambodia. Volunteers must pay for their own expenses.
All money raised through donations and corporate sponsors is used to buy medicine and supplies and provide education and training to local health care professionals and students.
"I truly believe that this is the best experience yet," Norannsy Chieuchin, board president, wrote in an email to the volunteers when they returned home.
Rawlings is no stranger to charity work. He has volunteered at the St. James Dental Clinic in Solana Beach.
Donning an elf cap, he was also part of a team that provided $1.62 million in care to 2,203 patients during a two-day event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds this past holiday season.
Rawlings spent the weekend providing free dental care — from cleanings and fillings to extractions and dentures — mostly to pediatric patients.
He said he would like to return to Cambodia but is not sure time will allow it in 2015 as he is slated to be installed in July as the next Del Mar Rotary Club president.
"I would like to thank Bahr Investment Group, the Rotary Club of Del Mar and Practice Enhancement Group for their generous donations," Rawlings said. He said he also appreciates his wife accompanying him to help in the clinic.
"I think she enjoyed it more than I did," he said.

Combo presses, which offer add-on modules for sublimated items like mugs, plates, or cubes, can be a wonderful option for shops that wish to specialize in souvenirs or hard goods. Hat presses can allow the addition of hats decorated with vinyl, sublimated or embroidered patches, rhinestones, and screen-print transfers to a shop's offerings. A mug press can be a huge asset to a shop that specializes in drinkware and promotional goods. If you're looking to expand your customer base or offerings with promotional goods, an investment in this type of press may be beneficial.


The first incident in question occurred on the evening of Nov.4. RCMP were dispatched to a male individual operating a stolen Kubota side-by-side on Hwy.774 heading eastward, away from the Castle Mountain Ski Resort.
Later, it was learned that a residence nearby had been broken into and robbed.
Upon search of the area, a stolen Ford F-350 was located, which had been stolen from Raymond, Alta.
RCMP believe that this vehicle was driven and also abandoned by the same individual operating the Kubota.
This individual was then seen driving around various properties in the Beaver Mines area. A homeowner approached and confronted the man, and later, the Kubota was found abandoned in Beaver Mines. The male individual was not located.
The next day, on Nov.5, it was learned this same suspect had stopped at the Beaver Mines General Store the day previous. He was identified by the aforementioned homeowner as being the same individual said homeowner confronted in person.
If you have any information about this, or any other crime, please call the Pincher Creek RCMP at (403) 627-6010, or call your local police detachment. If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or by internet at www.tipsubmit.com.

Q: Ingress only routes traffic to one route I have two pods, each with a LoadBalancer svc. Each service's IP address is working.
My first service is:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello-world-1
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    greeting: hello
    version: one
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 60000
    targetPort: 50000

My second service is:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello-world-2
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    greeting: hello
    version: two
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 5000
    targetPort: 5000

My ingress is:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: my-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: gce
spec:
  defaultBackend:
    service:
      name: hello-world-1
      port:
        number: 60000
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific
        backend:
          service:
            name: hello-world-1
            port:
              number: 60000
      - path: /v2
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific
        backend:
          service:
            name: hello-world-2
            port:
              number: 5000

Only the first route works this way and when I put
<MY_IP>/v2

in the url bar I get
Cannot GET /v2

How do I configure the ingress so it hits the / route when no subpath is specified and the /v2 route when /v2 is specified?
If I change the first route to
backend:
          service:
            name: hello-world-2
            port:
              number: 5000

and get rid of the second one it works.
but if I change the route to /v2 it stops working?
***** EDIT *****
Following this tutorial here ingress tut I tried changing the yaml so the different routes were on different ports and this breaks it. Does anybody know why?

A: By default, when you create an ingress in your cluster, GKE creates an HTTP(S) load balancer and configures it to route traffic to your application, as stated in the following document [1]. So, you should not be configuring your services as LoadBalancer type, instead you need to configure them as NodePort.
Here, you can follow an example of a complete implementation similar to what you want to accomplish:

*

*Create a manifest that runs the application container image in the specified port, for each version:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: web1
  namespace: default
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      run: web1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        run: web1
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        name: web1
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8000
          protocol: TCP

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: web2
  namespace: default
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      run: web2
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        run: web2
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        name: web2
        ports:
        - containerPort: 9000
          protocol: TCP

*Create two services (one for each version) as type NodePort. A very important note at this step, is that the targetPort specified should be the one the application is listening on, in my case both services are pointing to port 8080 since I am using the same application but different versions:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: web1
  namespace: default
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 8000
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    run: web1
  type: NodePort

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: web2
  namespace: default
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 9000
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    run: web2
  type: NodePort

*Finally, you need to create the ingress with the path rules:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: my-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: gce
spec:
  defaultBackend:
    service:
      name: web1
      port:
        number: 8000
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific
        backend:
          service:
            name: web1
            port:
              number: 8000
      - path: /v2
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific
        backend:
          service:
            name: web2
            port:
              number: 9000

If you configured everything correctly, the output of the command kubectl get ingress my-ingress should be something like this:
NAME         CLASS    HOSTS   ADDRESS          PORTS   AGE
my-ingress   <none>   *       <External IP>    80      149m

And, if your services are pointing to the correct ports, and your applications are listening on those ports, doing a curl to your external ip (curl External IP) should get you to the version one of your application, here is my example output:
Hello, world!
Version: 1.0.0
Hostname: web1-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Doing a curl to your external ip /v2 (curl External IP/v2) should get you to the version two of your application:
Hello, world!
Version: 2.0.0
Hostname: web2-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Q: Android App not starting on boot completed with Android Xamarin I am trying to make my app start when my device reboots, so I created a class called BootReceiver extending from BroadcastReceiver with an intent filter registered with the Android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED constant.
I created an instance of the BootReceiver class in my Oncreate()... and registered it with the filter specified above. I also declared the permission for receiving boot completed intents on my manifest file and requested for it programmatically. Even after doing all that, my app does not start when  restart my device.
BootReceiver class
[BroadcastReceiver(Label ="BootReceiver", Enabled = true, Exported = true)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionBootCompleted })]
class BootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
    public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        // Launch our activity
        if (intent.Action == "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")
        {
            /*
               Intent new_intent = new Intent(context, typeof(MainActivity));
                  new_intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
                  context.StartActivity(new_intent);
            */

            Toast.MakeText(context, "trying to start Niskize app", ToastLength.Long).Show();
        }
    }
}

MainActivity class
[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", Theme = "@style/AppThemeWhite", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity
{
     BootReceiver bootReceiver;

     protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         // Request for boot completed permissions
         boot_permissions();
         bootReceiver = new BootReceiver();
         RegisterReceiver(bootReceiver, new IntentFilter("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"));
     }
}

How can I implement this correctly with Android Xamarin?

A: I had tried your code on different versions of Android. If the device is with Android 9.0 or lower, the activity will start successfully. But on the Android 10.0 or higher, the system will intercept the starting of the activity background.
More information: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts
And if you start the app at once when the device is on boot, you can seem the activity will flash once, this is because the activity is foreground and will not be intercept by the system.
I also tried to register the BootReceiver by the AndroidManifest.xml and on the Android 12 you need to add the android:exported="true" to the receiver.
AndroidManifest.xml:
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".BootReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

BootReceiver.cs
[BroadcastReceiver(Label = "BootReceiver", DirectBootAware = true,Enabled = true, Exported = true)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionBootCompleted })]
class BootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
    public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        //launch our activity
        if (intent.Action == "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")
        {
            Toast.MakeText(context, "trying to start Niskize app", ToastLength.Long).Show();
            Intent new_intent = new Intent(context, typeof(MainActivity));
            new_intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
            context.StartActivity(new_intent);

        }
    }
}

I put the Toast on the first line to ensure the bootreceiver works correctly and just the startactivity failed.
In addition, on the Android 10 and higher, it seems that if the developer wants the app auto start when the device is on boot, need to add the app to the white list.


Is your iPhone working slow? Here's how to fix it!
Hola everyone! Welcome to Emad's blog.
Is your iPhone working slow? Lagging a bit? The performance it was giving you before is now not the same? Then you're at the right place. Today, I'm going to discuss about this issue and it's fix in this article.
In some of the news, we came to know that Apple intentionally slowing down iPhones. But to some extent it might be true but as of now it isn't.
The main culprit in the iPhone is battery. The battery in the iPhone ages in about 2-3 years and might be needed a replacement. When the battery doesn't get a replacement it's capacity is decreased gradually. Due to the decreased battery capacity, the CPU itself look up onto this issue to safe more juice and get itself under clocked to some speed other than maximum factory set speed.
FIX: You just need to check if your CPU is under clocked at lower speed. If yes, then get your battery checked and replaced. It will work faster than before.
I bought my iPhone 5S 4 years back. It was not performing up to the mark on iOS 11 but my friend's iPhone 5S was working just fine. I thought to check up the CPU cores, and fired the AIDA64 (Available at AppStore). I figured out that my CPU which Apple's A7 doesn't increase it speed more than 700MHz even though I was running several apps at a time in background. Therefore, I took it for a replacement of a battery. Got my phone back in a day and again fired the AIDA64 and boom the CPU speed is now goes to 1.3GHz. The fluid smooth iOS is working as expected. iOS 11 is now no more slow on iPhone 5S.

This lovely artificial seeded eucalyptus spray provides subtle texture and color in a five-blossom hydrangea bouquet I created for display in a treasured ceramic vase.

For five flowers, I chose seven eucalyptus branches, which turned out to be just the right number. Enjoy!

Romulus and Remus
The she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus
Romulus and Remus were the legendary founders of Rome. In Roman mythology they were twin brothers, children of Rhea Silvia and the god Mars.
Birth and youth[change | change source]
Rhea Silvia was the daughter of Numitor Silvius, king of Alba Longa, a legendary town founded by Ascanius, son of Aeneas, prince of Troy. When Numitor's brother Amulius became king by force, he made Rhea Silvia a Vestal Virgin, so she would not have children who could be kings instead of him. But the god Mars seduced her and she had the twins Romulus and Remus. Rhea Silvia was punished, and her sons were thrown into the Tiber, but were saved by the river god Tiberinus, who also saved Rhea Silvia and married her. Romulus and Remus were found by a wolf who suckled them. A woodpecker fed them. The brothers were later found by a shepherd, Faustulus, who raised them.
The founding of Rome[change | change source]
Once they were grown, Romulus and Remus founded the city of Rome. However, the twins had an argument about where to start Rome. Romulus favored the Palatine Hill, but Remus favored the Aventine Hill. They decided to settle the disagreement by asking the gods. Each brother stood on his respective hill. Remus saw six birds fly overhead, and Romulus saw twelve. However, Remus countered that he had seen the birds first. Nonetheless, Romulus started to build a wall around his city. Then, Remus jumped over the wall as an insult to his brother. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. He regretted it, and took Remus to Amulius's palace, and buried him there.

Q: Calculating $\sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{(N+1+n)(N+n)}$ by hand In a recent proof I used induction to prove an identity concerning the harmonic progressions:
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{2N}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n}=\sum_{n=1}^{N}\frac{1}{N+n} $$
I needed to know what the following sum equaled so I used Wolfram Alpha to find, $N \in \mathbb{N}$:
$$ \sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{(N+1+n)(N+n)}=\frac{N}{2N^2+3N+1}$$
However, that got me thinking how you could go about finding that result without the help of a computer.
Where would one even start? Try to manipulate it into a known format, where you already know a formula?

A: Hint:
$$\frac1{k(k+1)}=\frac1k-\frac1{k+1}.$$

A: Hint:$$\frac { 1 }{ (N+1+n)(N+n) } =\frac { 1 }{ N+n } -\frac { 1 }{ N+n+1 } $$

A: $$ \frac{1}{(N+n+1)(N+n)} = \frac{1}{N+n} - \frac{1}{N+n+1}, $$
and summing, the middle terms cancel and one is left with
$$ \sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{(N+n+1)(N+n)} = \frac{1}{N+1} - \frac{1}{2N+1} = \frac{N}{(2N+1)(N+1)}. $$

With Obama Gone, China Plans To Trample His Red Line In The South China Sea
U.S. Navy/Handout via Reuters/File Photo
Ryan Pickrell China/Asia Pacific Reporter
March 18, 2017 11:29 AM ET
Beijing has plans to start construction on the disputed Scarborough Shoal this year.
China has reclaimed land in both the Spratly and Paracel Islands and constructed military outposts, but it has been hesitant to start construction on the Scarborough Shoal. Xiao Jie, the mayor of Sansha — an administrative base for China's South China Sea activities masquerading as a city — said this week that China intends to construct environmental monitoring stations on a number of territories in the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal.
It is unclear if China plans to carry out dredging and reclamation work.
Drawing a red line for Beijing, former President Barack Obama told China in March that it would face "serious consequences" if it carried out construction on the shoal, which is claimed by both Beijing and Manila. The previous administration's tough stance on the shoal issue reportedly caused China to withdraw its ships from the area, giving Obama officials the impression that they had secured an important victory.
But, now Obama is gone, and China is making bigger plays in disputed waters.
As the previous administration was on its way out, China began throwing its weight around in the South China Sea. The Asia Maritime Transparency initiative detected Chinese point defense systems in the Spratlys in December, and in February, the research group noted extensive militarization of the Paracels. The Spratlys and the Paracels make up two corners of what is known as the "strategic triangle" in the South China Sea; the remaining corner is the Scarborough Shoal.
News of China's plans for the Scarborough Shoal comes as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is in Beijing for discussions with senior Chinese officials, meetings likely to focus on issues such as North Korea, trade, and the South China Sea.
China claims the vast majority of the South China Sea, demarcating its claims with an arbitrary nine-dashed line. China's claims to the region were discredited last summer by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Beijing rejected both the authority of the tribunal and the ruling, while continuing its activities in the South China Sea; Tillerson previously called these activities "illegal" during his confirmation hearing.
China forcibly seized the Scarborough Shoal from the Philippines in 2012.
Earlier this week, U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Ben Cardin of Maryland introduced the South China Sea and East China Sea Sanctions Act, which would prevent Chinese people who contribute to illicit construction projects in disputed waters from obtaining U.S. visas. The legislation would also sanction foreign financial institutions that "knowingly conduct or facilitate a significant financial transaction for sanctioned individuals and entities."
The Chinese foreign ministry called the proposed legislation was "extremely grating," and condemned the "arrogance and ignorance" of the senators.

Setting yourself up for a productive week starts with a productive Sunday. I know it may not be what you want to do, but taking a couple hours on the weekend to prep for the week ahead will set you up for success no matter the area in your life and allow you to be more productive. Achieving your goals will be much easier if the foundation is laid ahead of time. Here are a few Sunday habits I have found help make my week move smoothly allowing for greater productivity.
While I don't necessarily have to plan my outfits. I do have two little kids who are in school and daycare and being the OCD momma that I am, they need to have their outfits put together. The few times I have allowed my husband to pick out their outfits have caused me great anxiety. In order to not only prevent that but to make getting out of the house a smooth transition, I pick out five days worth of outfits for the kids. This way they are wearing an outfit that looks good and we have no fuss in the mornings. I also, set my uniforms out the night before to make sure every item is out and ready to go for the morning.
Just like with clothes having your bags ready to go make for one less item to have to worry about. Helping in you getting out of the house faster. Every Sunday I pack a bag of weekly items for the kids and I remove anything I do not need for my bag and pack it up for work.
I love planners. I have been using them for the last three years and have found them to be key in keeping me on track. Whether you use a physical or digital planner take about 30 minutes to add any appointments or projects to your weekly schedule. I also like to create a list of goals in my planner and break each goal into bite-sized chunks that I can work on daily. If you don't have a planner but like to write down your weekly and monthly appointments and events, check out my Free 2019 printable calendar.
I am more of a meal planner and have found this to help significantly. Every Saturday I choose meals, put together a list and place a Walmart pick up order that I will pick up Sunday. My weekly meals schedule template which I printed and placed inside a frame is where I write down my meals for each week. This helps keep everyone on the same page, and they know what to expect for dinner.
I do like to prep my breakfast. I tend to miss that meal often and have found if I put together some overnight oatmeal mason jars I can just grab one, throw in fresh fruit and get a healthy breakfast in. So I prepare these on Sunday night. That is the extent of meal prepping. I have found full on meal prep takes so much time and I am exhausted by the end of it. I have heard some suggestions of prepping just the meats or cutting the vegetables ahead of time. Most of my meals take no more than 30 mins to cook so I don't see a reason to do all the prepping over the weekend.
I hate hate hate a dirty house. With young kids having a pristine clean house if pretty much impossible. While I clean throughout the week, because let's be honest, my house is a mess within minutes of walking in the door, I do more organization and deeper clean on the weekends. Anyone else notices an increase in their stress when their house is a mess? Stress, anxiety, whatever that looks like for you, maintaining a clean and organized house can significantly decrease that stress or anxiety.
I find that when I do not set up my week on Sundays I am scrambling to keep it all together during the week. Preparing ahead of time ensures I have laid out all appointments and events and my kids are prepared as well for the week ahead – reducing the stress and setting us all up for a successful week.
What are some of your tips for a productive week? I would love to hear in the comments!
I usually organize my week and do some cleaning, I also love thinking ahead for my meals, thank you for sharing these tips.
Yes, I try to do a quick clean before bed. I find that when I leave for work with a clean house my mood is significantly better.
Oh yes, planning the kids clothes for the week stops the power struggle that we used to have often with my daughter on what she wanted to wear that day. This way she is able to choose her clothes and knows exactly what she will be wearing on what day.
I definitely need to get a better schedule down like this! I feel like I am all over the place most of the time, but I also love to do stuff whenever I feel like it and not worry about missing things.
I used to feel that way as well. I find when I write it all down in my planner where I can see it, my week is more predictable. And I can see where I have space to add other activities or where I need to decrease some of the work I am doing.
I'm with you! I try to prepare as much as possible on Sundays, to help ensure the week starts out organized and stress-free. Meal planning and getting laundry done have been crucial for me. Thanks for sharing!
Completing my laundry is still a struggle. I tend to wash clothes and take a few days before I actually fold them. I hate folding. But I find when I get it all done and put away by Sunday night, I feel like weight is lifted off my week and I have more time to enjoy with family.
I always try to clean the house and do the majority of the laundry on Sundays so we can start the week fresh! I do need to add a little more weekly planning to my day, though.
Doesn't it feel great to have it all done before the start of the week. It really helps reduce unessessary stress throughout the week.
These are great tips! it's amazing how much stress you can reduce by doing such small things!
Thank you. I 100% agree. A huge ball of stress has been lifted from my week because I have been accomplishing these tasks on Sunday instead of randomly throughout the week.
I struggle with Sunday activities. I'm going to make it a goal to implement one of these every Sunday. Meal planning/prepping is where I tend to procrastinate and I know it will save me a lot of time during the week. This post is a good reminder to get my life in order on Sundays.
I'd love to hear how that goes for you. I feel so much more organized and less stressed!
Yes! Every Sunday evening, I plan my week. Even if you just plan the first half of the week, you'll have an idea of what is coming and what tasks you need to complete in the near future.
Dang girl! You are one organized and put-together mama! I am trying to be better at meal prep. I tend to make healthier eating choices when I know what I am eating in advance. When I used to work full-time, I would always lay out my outfit the night before to eliminate the stress and time-wasting when I am half awake. Kudos to you for staying on top of it!
Thanks Brandi! I agree, when you eat sporadically you eat whatever is easiest or quick and that's not always the healthiest. I also find I spend a lot less money on groceries now!
Fantastic tips! I have to have my house clean before the week starts or I am in a bad mood come Monday morning!
I agree completly. When my house is a mess before I head to work, that is all I can think about throughout the day.
Thanks Krissy. And yes it sets your week up for success.

The BACH+ project was born with the purpose of giving some performance opportunities to many promising young pianists of the Henze Music Institute and other important institutions such as the Musical High School of Arezzo and the conservatoires of Firenze and Terni. The concerts for two, three and four pianos by J. S. Bach ( WV 1060-1065), split over three evenings, provide to 16 pianists an opportunity to improve. The orchestral accompaniment will be provided in turn by the Archi Poliziani, RNCM Chamber Strings and the Montfort Quartett, augmented by other professionals performing at the Cantiere and the best students of the Henze Music Institute. Each evening will include the performance of a string orchestra and other soloists (the Italian premiere of Prelude and Fugue for guitar and orchestra by Lorenzo Turchi Floris, an Intermezzo for oboe and strings by Finzi, Britten's Simple Symphony and Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten by Pärt). The young performers will be mentored by renowned pianists with a strong aptitude for teaching such as Mariangela Vacatello, Markus Bellheim, Cristina Capano, Alessandro Tricomi and Alessio Tiezzi. A fundamental premise of Cantiere is the meeting between young talents and professional musicians so that, with a spirit of mutual development, they can create events of unique artistic and educational importance.
