New homes generally come with steeper price tags, but offer more amenities. Homes are becoming increasingly wired for technology, including multiple phone lines and more advanced electrical wiring.
A new home can be built to suit the wants of the buyer. Better lumber, more energy-efficient appliances and improved insulation can be advantages for new home buyers.
New homes also require less maintenance. You're not going to have any severe maintenance for a longer period of time and thus you shouldn't have to worry about any unexpected costs associated with maintenance of the property. New home owners are also less likely to file insurance claims and as a result insurance premiums are typically lower than those of older homes.
New homes may be better insulated, and have more energy efficient appliances including heating and cooling systems. The energy-efficiency standards and local building codes that are in place today far exceed those that were in place in prior years. Many markets now require certain energy-efficient features in new construction, such as a higher grade of insulation and Energy Star windows and doors, that aren't found in older homes. For people who build rather than buy, their homes will be ahead of the green curve — and that will fetch a better price when it comes time to sell. Demand for green homes is soaring, with more than 80% of home buyers indicating they want energy-efficient features.
New homes usually have more modern features and facilities, such as open floor plan, media rooms, smart features, larger bathrooms and state of the art kitchens.
In addition, most new construction comes with a builder's warranty (typically 5-30 year structural warranties) in addition to manufacturers' warranties.
Some question marks associated with a new home purchase can be cleared with an existing home.
For many being the first one to own something is important and they are willing to pay a premium for this. For additional consideration read New Homes Offer Lower Operating Costs Allowing Buyers to Afford More Home.
For a home buyer putting costs over conveniences, purchasing an existing home is an option. Existing homes offer established yards and landscaping. In an established neighborhood, home buyers can meet their would-be neighbors. The character of an existing neighborhood often differs from that of a new development area.
Inquiring into schools, police presence and other aspects of living in a neighborhood also are possible in an established neighborhood.
Existing homes often come with lower price tags because the buyer is paying past prices for labor and building materials. More negotiation in price often accompanies an older home.
The transaction timeline is another major plus for existing homes. Buyers can move into a home immediately after closing, which typically takes place 14 to 60 days after a seller accepts a buyer's offer. Even if the home needs renovations, the work usually won't displace the new owner. But with building, the timeline to move in extends months — or even years.
New subdivisions are the best bet for finding lots, but that means taking a chance on a location that hasn't been established yet. Existing city lots or unbuilt lots in older subdivisions are rarer to come across. If the buyer places a high importance on living in a location with a lot of amenities, it would probably be better for them to buy an existing home in an established neighborhood.
Finally, new homes are often built in outlying areas where the municipalities need to charge higher taxes to offset new infrastructure and the fact that there are fewer residents to cover such expenses.
Home buyers should take personal preferences into account and examine the perks associated with both options.


Beach-side living has well and truly taken hold of my wardrobe… just look at me go in this boho-style two piece! Not to mention the fact I am frolicking about shoe-less - that is just SO Aussie. Look, you can't blame me for going full blown BEACH when this bit of tranquility is what the end of my road looks like. A tad different to the urban garages of East London, eh.
That's the cutest two piece ever, love it!

Cheap, disposable, and renewable, urine-powered batteries may be the perfect power source for disposable healthcare test kits called biochips, the researchers say.
"We are striving to develop cheap, disposable credit card-sized biochips for disease detection," said battery developer Ki Bang Lee. "Our battery can be easily integrated into such devices, supplying electricity upon contact with biofluids such as urine."
The research is detailed in the Aug. 15 issue of the Institute of Physics' Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering.
Scientists around the world are clamoring to design inexpensive biochips to quickly test for a variety of diseases. But no one has been able to make a similarly small and inexpensive power source.
Lee and his team of researchers at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have tackled this problem by using the very substance being tested - urine - to power the test.
To make the battery, Lee and his team soaked a piece of paper in copper chloride and then sandwiched it between strips of magnesium and copper. Then they laminated the credit card-sized unit between transparent plastic films.
When a drop of urine is added to the copper chloride paper, a chemical reaction takes place and produces electricity, which is harnessed by the battery. A few drops will generate about 1.5 volts, the same as a AA battery. The battery needs to be developed further to make it commercially viable.
"Our urine-activated battery would be integrated into biochip systems for healthcare diagnostic applications," Lee said.
Lee and his team also found that they could alter the battery's performance - voltage, power, or duration - by adjusting the design or materials.
The chemical composition of urine indicates a person's general health and is widely used in diagnostic tests. For instance, doctors measure the concentration of the sugar glucose to determine whether someone is diabetic.
Lee predicts that one day people will be able to monitor their own health at home using biochips powered by this type of battery.
"These fully-integrated biochip systems have a huge market potential," Lee said.

Site prep for Whole Foods in Chamblee moving along, part of City's ongoing economic revitalization
Submitted by Jeff on Tue, 2015/12/29 - 11:04am
Chamblee, GA, December 26, 2015 – by Trey Benton – Site prep for an 11.2 acre retail center called Peachtree Crossing in the City of Chamblee with Whole Foods as the anchor, is well underway.
You may have noticed the popular Ashe-Simpson Nursery and the former Paradise Cafe (that sat vacant for years), both located directly across Peachtree Blvd. from the Chamblee Lowe's, have been demolished.
The Peachtree Crossing site is being developed by S.J. Collins Enterprises, whose team has developed a number of centers around a Whole Foods anchor. In addition to a 45,000 sq. ft. Whole Foods Market, other tenants are set to include Octane Coffee, YEAH! BURGER, Chipotle, Zoës Kitchen and Taqueria del Sol.
The area surrounding Peachtree Crossing has more than 4,300 apartment units, 185 town houses planned or existing, over 3,400 owner occupied homes within a one mile radius and over 41,000 households within 3 miles.
"Development along Peachtree Boulevard in Chamblee highlights a greater trend of major growth in the northeastern quadrant of the city's lopsided ITP circle," says Jeff Garrison, Partner/Development with S.J. Collins. "The corridor between Buford Highway and Peachtree (Industrial) Boulevard is gaining density in the form of housing, office and shopping developments spanning from Brookhaven to Doraville."
Just north on Peachtree, the Olmsted and Parkview on Peachtree have also begun site preparation.
All three of these projects are major players in Chamblee's ongoing economic revitalization, which in recent years has included the $400-million expansion of the CDC campus, the adaptive re-use of 5256 Peachtree into office space, and a number of streetscape enhancement projects.
"This development is a transformative development that really starts to define what the southern front-door looks like as you enter Chamblee on Peachtree Blvd.," Chamblee Mayor Eric Clarkson told The Post earlier this year. "It compliments some of the other developments we have coming in to the city."
Peachtree Crossing will be located at 5001 Peachtree Blvd., where Johnson Ferry Rd. intersects with Peachtree. The site was once home to Oxford Chemicals Company that operated in Chamblee for nearly 50 years until closing up shop in the early 90's.
The Peachtree Crossing development is planned to be completed in Summer of 2017.


It's easy to get the wrong idea about Twitter Inc. Young company, digital focus, Silicon Valley location — it probably has one of those crazy startup cultures with apps and avatars and such oozing from every developmental pore, right? Not really.
According to Melissa Daimler, head of learning and organizational development, Twitter is far more traditional. For instance, technology is not at the center of its learning strategy. Instead, it acts as one of many enablers helping to create the connections the company works so hard to cultivate.
Daimler uses words like building, creating and infrastructure when describing her role at Twitter, which recruited her about 3½ years ago. She started when the company had about 800 employees, and said she found it inspiring that learning was such a keen focus for an organization with a relatively small workforce.
Globally, Twitter now has about 4,000 employees. While it may be logistically trickier to connect, learning is still primarily about relationships, collaboration and sharing — all of which makes perfect sense given the company is an online social network. Using the latest and greatest technology falls firmly behind the ability to give continuous feedback and just make people better.
Daimler said as a child she thought when she grew up, she'd get a job and get married, aspirations common for a girl with a traditional Midwestern upbringing, but things changed when she started visiting her grandfather at age 7. When her friends would pack up their station wagons and go visit their grandparents somewhere in Minnesota, she would pack up her suitcase and go to Sweden.
"I discovered a whole new world; a whole new culture around how people live and work and different languages. I became interested in learning new things and having new experiences. That translated into a very nontraditional career path," she said.
Her first big job was at a training company in New York — a place she'd never been before. She became a certified executive coach, then started her own executive coaching business at 24. Next, she moved to Silicon Valley. During that time, she said fun, creative titles were all the rage at dot-coms, and she became the director of people for a small startup with a focus on coaching the executive team. She was later promoted to head of human resources.
Employee and then organizational needs consistently trump technology as the first consideration for learning discussions. Which is as it should be, according to Ed Cohen, former chief learning officer for companies like Booz Allen Hamilton, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra, and current executive vice president of Nelson Cohen Global Consulting.
That hasn't changed since Naisbitt wrote that book more than 30 years ago. Without that personal, face-to-face component, it's too easy for learning to derail. Cohen used the example of sending a tweet all in caps. A common assumption might be that the tweeter is angry, and without that in-person emotion and explanation, a positive, potentially educational interaction might stop right there.
Daimler said learning at Twitter must be meaningful in addition to providing the necessary just-in-time learning experiences needed to advance the business. Formal presentations and classes were changed — and subsequently became more effective, the contextdirectly tied to what employees had to do on the job. That might mean presentation training for someone who is about to speak at a conference, and it certainly meant a big push around management development.
She and her team developed the Twitter Core 5, five skills that every manager should have and practice. These core skills — coaching, delegating, deciding, directing and developing — were chosen with input from managers and employees and continue to evolve.
As befits an organization that's life blood boasts a 140-character limit, PowerPoint slides and tons of content fall back in favor of brevity as a development approach. "It's more about sharing a few perspectives, maybe a model or two, but then giving people an opportunity to be interactive and practice," Daimler said.
For example, management sessions are more formal, but they're delivered in bite-size pieces. Every week for eight weeks, managers come together and they talk about one of those core five skills for two hours at a time. The global Tweeps — Twitter's special name for its employees — have a two-day opportunity where they come together, in addition to informal monthly gatherings to continue conversations.
Speaking of crowdsourcing, Tweeps naturally connect through Twitter. Handles such as @TC5 and @learning help them share what they've learned as well as some of their key successes. Technical skills learning, for instance, has a community of engineering Tweeps who develop during informal chats, gatherings and by teaching their peers more formally in an engineering management development program tied to the Twitter Core 5.
Learning at Twitter likely will never be just an isolated event, for which one person bears sole responsibility. Daimler's scope of responsibilities includes learning and organizational development as well as talent management. The integration allows her to look across the organization as it grows to ensure processes and systems are scaling within the company.
One key initiative from last year was to think holistically about what makes employees successful at the company. Essentially, what is the success profile for a Tweep? There are 10 aspirational values that have been around for years, but she went back to employees to ask if those values still resonated. Daimler said the answer was by and large yes, but there was something missing. Global focus groups subsequently identified four organizational skills that epitomize successful Tweeps — be clear, be courageous, be a team player and be forward-thinking. There are five micro skills underneath each of those.
Learning is now building out a number of formal and informal development strategies such as creating learning paths with this mindset: How do you get/become better?
Daimler said she feels confident that people can use work as a growth opportunity. Feedback is a huge part of that. Creating opportunities to reflect and discover what employees do well or what they need to improve will be a significant area of focus for the company going forward.
She and her team piloted an initiative this summer to align the company's learning philosophy with the new evolving feedback strategy, and promote timely feedback conversations up, down and across teams. It knocks the traditional annual talent review process askew, disdaining annual discussions about past performance in favor of giving employees the feedback they want and need to learn as they work.
Launched in July and slated to roll out globally this month, evolving feedback has four parts: always on, more holistic, future orientation and greater empowerment. The pilot is partially online in that people have access to internal tools, but it deliberately holds on to the face-to-face nature of feedback as a focal point.
It also fits neatly with another of Daimler's pet projects: the skills check-in. At any point in time, Tweeps can launch a check-in with their colleagues, direct reports and boss. This flexibility in evaluation helps them understand what's working, their gaps and what they're doing in the organizational hierarchy.


Many of us dream up mad ideas but too often we think they just can't be done. Not Hot Tub Cinema founders Asher Charman and Nick Pahl. They wanted to watch films in hot tubs on a rooftop. It had never been done before anywhere in the world but that didn't stop them. Now three years, 300 shows and over 30,000 guests later, Hot Tub Cinema has become a global event with shows in New York, Ibiza and London and a 2015 European tour. Last year they even launched a slightly drier spin-off event called Pillow Cinema. In this lunchtime talk, Asher and Nick will share their experience of launching a creative event startup – from venue hunting, PR and marketing strategies to overcoming the immense production challenges of putting on such a unique event.

Is Ford's Aluminum Really 'Military Grade'?
by Addison White on December 22, 2019
In recent years, Ford has made a stir in the automaking world over one controversial choice. Most trucks are made with mostly or entirely high-grade steel. However, some of the latest Ford trucks are made with steel frames and aluminum bodies. This decision was highly criticized by other automakers, but Ford's sales didn't suffer.
In 2014, Ford issued a press release about its new aluminum trucks with a surprising claim. The automaker stated that the truck was made with "military grade" aluminum alloy. The automaker didn't elaborate on this statement, which caused some confusion. Does this mean Ford trucks are just as durable as military vehicles?
Ford's military history
We're proud to honor all the heroes of our military, past and present. Who you are #ProudToHonor this #VeteransDay? pic.twitter.com/Hqg2l273wN
— Ford Trucks (@FordTrucks) November 11, 2019
Ford's success is partially due to its efforts in serving the armed forces. The military uses many Ford trucks for their day-to-day operations. These include armored and Super Duty COMBATT versions of the F-350. Universal carriers were also supplied by Ford of Canada during World War II.
Ford makes no secret about its appreciation for both active military members and veterans. The company offers military personnel a cashback bonus of $500 on the purchase of a new Ford vehicle. The customer is also entitled to a military discount. Because of its military ties, some speculate that the military grade claim is strictly a marketing strategy.
What exactly is "military grade" aluminum?
The truth is that the military uses aluminum for a wide variety of tools and accessories. Much of it is used in the production of vehicles, but it could also be used in straps or bullets. In the army, each part is held to military standard, or 'mil spec'.
Even when something is made to mil spec, that doesn't mean it can take as much damage as an armored tank. However, in theory, the aluminum used to build a military bunk could also be used to produce a powerful pickup. This is why marketing strategists typically used the term "military grade" as a synonym for a durable product.
The debate surrounding Ford's "military grade" aluminum
Ford's use of the term "military grade" has been widely disputed by metal workers. The general consensus is that it's all just a marketing ploy to move units. A large number of customers will see the term "military-grade" and think of the truck as highly indestructible.
Ford confirmed this further when it released more production details. It's mainly built with 6,000 series alloy, the same material used for mil spec. However, they also mention that the alloy is mixed with silicon and magnesium. It's also worth noting that the frame of the F-150 is still primarily made of steel.
Chevy's demonstration
Ford's military-level strength claims have also been criticized by other automakers. A year after the press release, GM put Ford's "military-grade" claim to the test in a commercial advertisement. Over 800 pounds of concrete blocks were dumped into the truck beds of the F-150 and the Chevy Silverado.
The Silverado's high-grade steel bed suffered multiple dents, but remained structurally intact. On the other hand, the F-150's bed was dotted with holes from the blocks.
Some argued that the demonstration was an unfair comparison. Neither of the trucks had bedliners, which could have prevented heavy damage. However, a Chevy spokesperson stated that a bed-liner only helps "protect the appearance" of the truck bed.
What does this say about Ford trucks?
Ford's use of the word "military-grade" could be seen as stretching the truth. However, it doesn't mean that the F-150 is a subpar truck. Even with the aluminum bed, it can still haul over 3,000 pounds and continues to outsell popular rivals. So despite being an overreach by Ford, the F-150 and Ford trucks in general, are still reliable durable trucks.

Grease was the first theatrical production I'd ever photographed. My camera at the time was a Sony Mavica, the kind that used floppy disks to store photos. The resolution wasn't great, particularly compared to new cameras. All I can say is that the actors truly made the pictures....and I am continually reminded that it's not the camera as much as the persons both in front of and behind the camera that make good photos!
Hope you enjoy this 'blast from the past'.

A statue for a native son
Rep. Roy seeks funds for Horace Mann sculpture
Matt Tota/Daily News Staff
FRANKLIN — State Rep. Jeffrey Roy hopes to secure $50,000 for the town to use toward building a sculpture and small gathering place dedicated to Horace Mann, the state's first secretary of education and an influential reformer who laid the groundwork for the country's public schools system.
Roy, D-Franklin, pushed through an amendment to the state's $38 billion budget - passed by the House last month - providing the funding for a "Horace Mann Park" on the corner of Emmons Street. Now the Senate must debate and pass the budget.
Born on a small farm in Franklin in 1796, Horace Mann is often referred to as "The Father of American Education." In 1837, Mann was elected secretary of the state's Board of Education, according to the Massachusetts Historical Society; he would later help establish the first normal public schools in the United States, in Bridgewater and Lexington.
The tiny park was envisioned during the negotiations last year to sell the town-owned property at 150 Emmons St.
When Franklin developer Roger Calarese finally purchased the parcel in January, he agreed to grant the town a roughly 1,000 square-foot easement for the sculpture and surrounding green space.
Roy's office had been in touch with Concord artist Bob Shure, who designed the Benjamin Franklin statue at the town's library, to determine what it might cost to build a Horace Mann sculpture.
"He (Shure) provided us with several alternative designs and some cost information to assist with the budget amendment," Roy explained.
Roy has long supported the idea of a statue honoring Mann — similar to the one erected in 1865 that graces the Statehouse's south lawn.
"It's nice to see that this dream is getting closer to reality," he said.
According to an early history of Franklin published in 1878, townspeople regarded Mann as a famous native son. Written by Mortimer Black, "A History of the Town of Franklin Mass." includes an excerpt from Mann's personal journal, penned after he became secretary of education.
"I now stand in a new relation to the world," Mann wrote. "Hence-forth, as long as I hold this office, I devote myself to the supremest welfare of mankind upon earth."

New Season, New Cars, New Stars for the 2010 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
The 2010 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is upon us! After a last-minute change of venues, the drivers and crews have assembled at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Rounds 1 and 2 of the new season. The paddock is brimming with new teams, new vehicles, and countless drivers just waiting for the chance to break it loose on the new dirt of this new track for the first time. An interesting track layout filled with banked turns, significant elevation change, and jumps of all sizes would favor those drivers with great technical ability, and all drivers were eager to grab the pole position for the first race as qualifying got underway on Friday afternoon.
Unlimited 2 Pro
Unlimited 2 Pro was one of several classes to benefit from the addition of several new LOORRS competitors, and today's qualifying was all about new LOORRS driver Jeremy McGrath. No stranger to off-road action, the ex-motorcycle superstar put his skill to great use from the word go. This year's new qualifying allows drivers 10 minutes to run as many, or as few, laps as they want, and McGrath came flying out of the gates as soon as the track went green. McGrath the pace with a 1:12.103 on his first lap in the #15 Monster Energy/Fox Racing Shox Toyota, then bettered his time twice, running 1:11.360 on his third lap and 1:11.049 to take the pole on his sixth lap. Rob MacCachren took second with a 1:11.254 in the #21 Rockstar/MasterCraft Safety Ford, ahead of Rodrigo Ampudia in the #36 Papas & Beer/Tecate Ford, who took third with a 1:11.785. Fourth went to Ricky Johnson in the #48 Red Bull/Bosch Ford in a 1:11.899, and Todd LeDuc rounded out the top five with a 1:12.123 in his #8 Rockstar/Makita Ford.
Thanks to a big influx of new LOORRS racers, Unlimited 4 Pro qualifying was a feast for the ears thanks to the addition of the screaming Toyotas of Rick Huseman and Johnny Greaves. Just as McGrath had done in U2, Huseman ran rampant in Unlimited 4 qualifying, taking the top time from the outset and only being bettered by his own improvements. Huseman ran a 1:09.591 in his first lap in his #36 Monster Energy/Traxxas Toyota, then dropped to a 1:08.656 on the next lap, before taking the pole in 1:08.388 on his fifth lap. Kyle LeDuc was second best with a 1:08.753 in his #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford, and was followed by Scott Douglas' 1:09.245 in the #27 Kumho Tires/Sycuan Casino Ford. Johnny Greaves wound up fourth in the #16 Monster/Forest County Potawatomi Toyota with a 1:09.729, and fifth was Steve Barlow in the #2 Red Bull/Bosch Ford with a time of 1:09.756.
Unlimited Lite Pro
With hot shoe Robert Naughton moving up to the Unlimited 2 ranks, one might think that Brian Deegan and Chris Brandt, the only two drivers besides Naughton to win a race in Unlimited Lite last season, might have an easy go of it this year. This wasn't to be, however, as two other drivers grabbed the spotlight in Friday's qualifying. Marty Hart got off to a ripping start, running laps of 1:16.907 and 1:16.611 to take the lead in the early going in his #15 ReadyLift/Stronghold Motorsports Ford. Rodrigo Ampudia then took over at the front, running laps of 1:16.579, 1:16.445, and 1:16.041, the third of which clinched the pole for his #36 Lucas Oil Ford. Last year's class champion Deegan came home in second in his #38 Maxxis Tires/Rockstar Ford with a 1:16.331. Brandt, runner-up to Deegan in the championship, was third with a 1:16.399 in his mavTV/Hart and Huntington Toyota, ahead of #15 Hart, 1:16.611, and #33 Jimmy Stephensen in the Racin' Dirty Nissan, who clocked a 1:17.740.
SuperLite
Only five drivers were able to contest Friday's SuperLite qualifying session. Brian Deegan got off to a quick start in his #38 Rockstar/Metal Mulisha truck, running a 1:22.651 on his first lap. Deegan then crashed himself out on the second lap, and Brandon Ward moved his #92 to the top of the time sheets on his fourth lap. Ward's 1:21.445 was good enough to secure the pole, and Dawson Kirchner's 1:21.681 in the #16 Speed Technologies truck was also good enough to beat Deegan, who still wound up third despite only getting one full lap in. Fourth was #7 Brandon Bailey in the Lamb Energy/ReadyLift machine with a 1:23.709, and fifth went to #21 Brent Fouch with a 1:29.755. The remaining drivers will start behind these five qualifiers in Saturday's race.
Pro Buggy Unlimited
Ripping onto the track next was a storm of 19 Pro Buggies, and qualifying was dominated by the #996 Fortin Racing/BFGoodrich Tires buggy of Doug Fortin. Fortin took the lead on the first lap with a 1:15.763, then took the pole on lap three with a 1:14.702. Second went to #947 Joe Masek in a time of 1:14.784, while third went to last year's points champion Chuck Cheek in the #957 Stronghold Motorsports Alumicraft, who ran a 1:15.185. Jerry Whelchel took fourth in the #901 Foddrill Motorsports buggy with a 1:15.231, and fifth went to the #994 Freeman's Carpet Service Racer Engineering buggy of Cody Freeman, who ran a 1:15.409.
Limited Buggy
For the competitors in Limited Buggy, 2010 kicked off right where 2009 left off. Most all the name players were back, and the top five finishers were of no surprise to anyone. Points champion Bruce Fraley came out on top of this heap in his #312 BFGoodrich/Freeman's Carpet Service machine, taking the early lead with a 1:21.152 on his opening lap, then setting the pole time at 1:18.941 on his third lap. #392 Curt Geer, the newest member of the Green Army team, came in second with a 1:19.102, while third was a 1:19.228 by Justin Smith in the #399 Menzies Motorsports buggy. Kyle Quinn, who briefly sat atop the time sheets in the early going, came home fourth with the 1:20.491 he set on his second lap in the #311 Wilson Motorsports machine, and John Fitzgerald rounded out the top five with a 1:19.568 in his #314 General Tires/mavTV buggy.
The big news in the UTV ranks is the addition of the new SR1 class. Developed by Jason and Corry Weller of Weller Racing, the class features Yamaha Rhinos powered by the engine from a Yamaha R1 street bike. Five of these new rip-roaring machines lined up with the Unlimited UTV racers for a combined qualifying session, but the classes will be scored separately in combined competition. For future reference, Unlimited UTVs are designated by numbers starting with 6, while SR1s start with 8.
Unlimited UTV points champion Chad George took the early qualifying lead in his #642 Monster Energy/Funco Kawasaki, with a time of 1:21.277 on the opening lap. George then went better on the next lap with a 1:20.705, before fellow Unlimited UTV runner Austin Kimbrell took over at the top with a 1:20.269 in his #607 Monster Energy Kawasaki. Kimbrell then made a big jump, dropping to a 1:18.723 and then a 1:18.171 to take the pole and the fastest time of the combined session. RJ Anderson came in second in the #637 Walker Evans Racing Wheels Polaris with a 1:19.168 on the last lap, while George's best time of 1:19.637 was good enough for third. Tyler Herzog was the first SR1 runner, taking a 1:20.164 in his #844, while Tyler Winbury was fourth in the Unlimited UTVs, fifth overall with a 1:20.412 in his #694 Funco Kawasaki. John Dempsey was fifth in Unlimited UTV, sixth overall in his #655 with a 1:21.664, Corry Weller was second in SR1, seventh overall in the #801 with a 1:21.964, and Doug Mittag was third in SR1 with a 1:22.892 in his #848 SR1. Fourth and fifth in the SR1 ranks went to #802 Gary Thompson and #800 Josh Stechnij, with times of 1:23.076 and 1:27.286, respectively.

The Top 6 Female Recovery Memoirs
If you're going into recovery, are already in treatment, or are trying to get your loved one into treatment, reading about other's experiences with recovery can help. In fact, memoirs can prove to be a powerful, inspirational, and motivational tool to help people move through recovery and stick with it. Often, they're not a good choice for people who aren't yet ready to recover – because reading them takes effort, taking messages at face value takes effort, and finding inspiration and meaning in something that isn't a substance. At the same time, some of these books can provide valuable insight into drug and alcohol use culture across the United States, helping people to understand how they go to where they are, why they stay there, and what it's doing to them.
These recovery memoirs are written by women but can be enjoyed, read, and meaningful for anyone.
Drinking: A Love Story
Caroline Knapp was a columnist for the Boston Pheonix when she chose to get treatment. Knapp's soul-baring memoir details her over 20 years as a high-functioning alcoholic, seemingly holding it together and doing well in her career and her life on the outside, and secretly using alcohol to numb everything behind closed doors.
Knapp's powerful, emotional memoir is a classic and it's one that opened a lot of doors to women coming out and being open about addiction and high functioning addiction. Her memoir shares her life experiences, getting clean, and her drive to make it through anyway – which can be a powerful and inspirational read for anyone facing alcoholism themselves.
The Recovering: Intoxication and Its Aftermath
Leslie Jamison's "The Recovering" is a memoir and a collection of essays, with stories, memoirs, and cultural history behind alcohol and drug abuse – from the perspectives of both men and women. The work offers value to those in recovery and those who are trying to make the leap, because it shares about the history of addiction and recovery, the history of criminalization of addiction, and the history of recovery itself. Jamison's story details recovery as well as addiction, talking about cravings, the ongoing battle against drugs and alcohol, and making life work in recovery – not just fighting addiction.
That makes this memoir a powerful focus on not addiction but on recovery, which can be extremely helpful for people looking to get themselves into that mindset to work through the problems that come with recovery, and to move through those problems.
Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol
Holly Whitaker's "Quit Like a Woman" is a combination of memoir and cultural critique, assessing her own history of drinking and alcohol abuse alongside the U.S. culture of alcohol abuse. Whitaker writes for women, detailing how culture, advertising, and culture push women to drink. This memoir blends her recovery journey and ongoing recovery with feminism and her own unique path out of addiction.
While some of the book is also dedicated to Whitaker's own, feminist approach to addiction treatment, that information is useful even if you're attending another therapy or treatment center.
The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober
In the Unexpected Joy of Being Sober: Discovering a happy, healthy, wealthy, and alcohol-free life, Catherine Grey discusses substance abuse in a light few people do. She starts discussing the reasons she quit drinking – hangovers, blackouts, poverty, mental health problems, failing relationships – and dives into the joy in life she finds because she is sober. That approach of refusing to glamorize alcohol and substance abuse and instead doing the opposite is one that few people take – and it's a perspective that many of us need. That's especially true in the United States, where most people drink and it's uncommon and even weird to "not" drink.
Grey questions that, questions why she can't have a happier and healthier life without alcohol and shares her journey and her success in reaching that point. That's valuable and inspirational, whether you're considering quitting, are already in treatment, or are well on your way to recovery.
The Sober Diaries: How one woman stopped drinking and started living
Clare Pooley's "Sober Diaries" details one woman's realization that her alcohol habit was putting her life and her children at risk. Pooley discusses the dark side of alcoholism creeping up on you, of drinking more and more under the guise of normalization, and how it impacts life, weight, and health. She also discusses her mental health and shares how she turned to alcohol because she was depressed, and as a mother of three, she had no other visible way out.
That honesty is shared in Pooley's witty, funny style, which makes it a lighter read than it otherwise would be. And, while Pooley's journey was interrupted by cancer, she continued on to stay clean and sober – and shares how much better and happier her life is now. This book is a good choice for people trying to answer questions around alcoholism, talking to family, coping, and even living with family members who drink.
Girl Walks Out of a Bar: A Memoir
Girl Walks out of a Bar is a dark, funny, and honest look at high-functioning addiction. Lisa Smith details her experience as a high-functioning professional with the money for addiction, using substance abuse to escape stress and unwind, and using self-medication to cope with high-stress and high-pressure environments. Smith's memoir details her interventions, her eventual treatment, and her recovery – while showing how she hid her addiction, functioned around it, and used drugs and alcohol to cope with real life problems.
This message is largely intended as a cautionary tale, but to anyone in similar positions, it can be eye opening to the fact that others have experienced similar situations, that help exists, and that life does get better.
Hopefully you or a loved one find some inspiration, motivation, and guidance in one or more of these books. At the same time, there are dozens of memoirs written by men and women. You can always look around and find something that speaks to you and read that.

On the banks of the River Derwent, just south of Derbyshire, is the bustling city of Derby. Known popularly as a centre for advanced transport manufacturing, Derby is steeped with history and particularly well-known for their role in the Industrial Revolution.
In the past, Derby has always been on the forefront of development – and modern day is no different. Today, Derby is loved as an energetic and creative city with a rejuvenated riverfront, and countless cultural developments.
As a relatively low-lying area with a green belt area to prevent convergence with the surrounding towns, the issue of space can prevent itself at times. Self storage is the ultimate solution to all issues regarding space limitation.
Derby is bustling with students – studying at Derby University and surrounds. Almost on a daily basis we receive calls or visits from students looking to solve some form of space issue. Self storage allows those during their studies to pack up their belongings and store them safely while travelling through the summer, or to simply unclutter their student residence.
Storage King Derby is located in West Meadows Industrial Estate on Hansard Gate. Our friendly store manager, Richard Locke, is always willing to answer any questions. Richard certainly knows his stuff. In fact, he was recognised by the Federation of European Self Storage Association (FEDESSA) as European Manager of the Year in 2016.
At Storage King, we pride ourselves in offering an effective and easy solution for all of your storage problems. Our conveniently located stores cater for personal self storage, business self storage and student self storage needs. You simply need to find your local Storage King store, choose the flexible storage solution that best suits you and request a quote. The Derby Storage King store offers 24-hour accessibility and a wide range of unit sizes.
In addition to providing exceptional self storage service, Storage King Derby was the first of the group to offer a confidential shredding service, boosting the convenience of the store.
If you need convenient self storage in Derby and the surrounding Nottingham, Loughborough, Ashbourne, Leicester and Stafford areas, pop in to Storage King for a visit. Alternatively, you can call us on 01332 332 9000, or request a storage quote online.


It has become apparent to me, through my Polyvore mood boards, how much I enjoy mixing patterns.
Okay, this isn't a big surprise. I'm always attracted to patterned fabrics when shopping. I have to remind myself to buy solid colours so that I have some background pieces.
And oh boy, did I ever buy pattern fabrics at the Knitting and Stitching show!
I think I'm going to start including stripes and spots as "plains" in my wardrobe. The striped dress in the mood board makes this outfit more exciting for me, but still works well as a background to play other patterns off.
Do you have a neutral colour that you base your wardrobe around? I can see how this is such a sensible idea; It would help when selecting shoes, tights, undershirts, everything really.
But I can't do it. I love greys but I also love the warmth of browns. Especially in the Autumn.
I don't really do black as a solid in my wardrobe (scarred by the 80's again) but I can't resist the punch of a bright pattern on a black background; folk art style.
Ususally I can find some black in my wardrobe to mix-in. Red almost always works too.
I can't do white or even cream as neutral colours. I'm just too messy and it would make me feel self conscious. So when I need a light neutral, I turn to greige or natural/oatmeal. This is getting more appealing as I get older.
So maybe my personal neutral colours are seasonal: Greys in the winter and spring, overlapping with greige in the spring and summer, moving into brown in the autumn. I can live with that.
I'd love to know what other sewers think about this. Do you have a neutral colour or play around?
Hmmm…Navy and grey. Now I am adding brick red, mustard, cobalt and turquoise. I love the styling. A lot!
Black was my urban uniform but as I age am more drawn to charcoals and dark cool chocolate browns. Definitely agree with you about using stripes and dots as neutrals!

Андрей Анато́льевич Кокотю́ха (род. 17 ноября 1970, Нежин) — современный украинский писатель-беллетрист и автор сценариев, журналист.

Биография

Родился в городе Нежине, в семье сварщика и медсестры. Первое художественное произведение написал в возрасте 7 лет. До 12 лет читал и писал только сказки.

Мечтал стать библиотекарем. Работал сборщиком мебели, разнорабочим и каменщиком на стройке. Окончил факультет журналистики Киевского университета им. Т. Шевченко.

Первый рассказ был опубликован в 1987 году. В 1991 году написал уголовную повесть «Шлюбні ігрища жаб», которая получила в 1995 году награду издательства «Смолоскип». После выхода отдельной книгой в 1996 году повесть стала называться «романом», получила положительную оценку от родителей и друзей автора и широкую негативную огласку в прессе. Благодаря этой публикации, А. Кокотюха сразу стал одним из известных современных украинских писателей.

В 1993 году был одним из основателей Творческой ассоциации «500». Работая в издательстве «Смолоскип» упаковщиком книг, в период с 1994 по 1999 год организовал более ста «гастролей» молодых украинских писателей в семнадцати регионах Украины. Был их непосредственным участником. В 1998 году уволился из издательства в связи с переходом на другую работу, непосредственно связанную с журналистикой. Сотрудничество с издательством «Смолоскип» не прекращал до 1999 года. Затем издательство официально разорвало отношения с молодым писателем из-за публичного прочтения фельетона о современном состоянии украинской культуры, расценив его как «антиукраинский».

2006 года на конкурсе «Коронация слова» Гран-при и Вторую премию занимают совершенно разные рукописи, «Темная вода» и «Зоопарк или Дети до 16 лет». Автором обоих есть один человек — Андрей Кокотюха.

Пишет на русском и украинском языках. Как заявил Кокотюха на Форуме издателей во Львове-2014 он «русскоязычный писатель […] и пишет на двух языках», но с ошибками.

Исследователь украинской массовой литературы доктор филологических наук София Филоненко называет Кокотюху отцом «украинского готического детектива», хотя сам автор считает, что в его текстах присутствует скорее неоготика, напрямую связанная с актуальными общественными и социальными проблемами Украины, а обращение к готике и фольклору в целом совпадает с традициями древней украинской литературы.

Книги А. Кокотюхи выходили и продолжают выходить практически во всех украинских издательствах, которые издают современную литературу: «Смолоскип», «Кальвария», «Фолио», «Пирамида», «Нора-Друк», «Зеленый Пес». Он постоянно сотрудничает с наиболее популярными украинскими газетами, журналами и телеканалами.

Review: Ken McGoogan's Dead Reckoning is an engrossing read
JANICE CAVELL
Ken McGoogan's Dead Reckoning adds to the debate over who should be credited with discovering the Northwest Passage.
"The Untold Story of the Northwest Passage" is a bold choice of subtitle, since few stories have been told more often. Among earlier works, Leslie Neatby's In Quest of the North West Passage (1958) stands up remarkably well. Pierre Berton's The Arctic Grail (1988) is superbly readable. Ann Savours (1999) and Glyn Williams (2009) both dug deep in the archives and produced excellent, accurate books. The finding of Sir John Franklin's ships in 2014 and 2016 added a fresh episode, chronicled in print by Paul Watson, Russell Potter and John Geiger.
Ken McGoogan has already published four Arctic volumes. So what does he have to offer here that is truly new? Actually, something very important. Over the years, historians have become more careful about giving credit to the Indigenous men and women who acted as guides, hunters, cartographers and more. But McGoogan goes beyond any other previous writer in highlighting their deeds. A book like his is long overdue – and he deserves all possible praise for it.
Yet even so, in the end McGoogan champions a white explorer. As every reader of his previous books knows, his hero is John Rae. And he doesn't merely argue that Rae was denied the recognition he deserved for his outstanding success in Arctic travel. He upholds Rae as the Northwest Passage's true discoverer.
Who "really discovered" the passage has been debated, sometimes furiously, since the 1850s. A case can be made for Franklin. In 1845 he sailed into the Arctic Archipelago from the eastern side. After his death, his men, having abandoned their ships, passed the cairn raised on King William Island by Peter Dease and Thomas Simpson, who had travelled there from the west in 1839. In the memorable words of Franklin's old friend Sir John Richardson, the lost explorers forged the last link with their lives.
But Franklin hadn't found a navigable passage: Heavy ice barred him from sailing onward to safety along Dease and Simpson's route. After blazing a new trail as far as King William Island, he had taken a wrong turn at the last fork in the path. With fatal results, Franklin went west of the island when he ought to have gone east.
During the Franklin search Robert McClure tried another new route from the west and he too got trapped in ice. He and his men were lucky enough to be rescued; they travelled on foot to a search ship in the eastern Arctic and so became the first to pass from Pacific to Atlantic through the archipelago.
Also during the search, William Kennedy (1852), Rae (1854), and Leopold McClintock (1859) explored the crucial track east of King William Island. Franklin likely had already passed along part of this route, but then again, maybe not. There are two ways to the crossroads north of the island and we still aren't certain which one he took.
It was McClintock who put everything together and recommended the route by which Roald Amundsen later sailed from Atlantic to Pacific. In his autobiography, Amundsen insisted he himself was the true conqueror. Rae made no claim on his own behalf, but McGoogan argues that in 1846 Franklin passed through the strait later mapped by McClintock. (Franklin's other possible route isn't mentioned.) Therefore, when Rae discovered the strait named after him, it allegedly was the real last link. At the time of his find, Rae knew nothing about what Franklin had done; and until Amundsen's voyage, no one could be sure Rae Strait was navigable. Nevertheless, in McGoogan's depiction, Rae swiftly realizes that he is the victor.
Lady Franklin had a bitter feud with McClure (not Rae) over the "true discoverer" title. Near the end of her life, she even managed to drag Sir John's embarrassed 17-year-old grandson into the fight. In a similar spirit of partisanship, McGoogan spends a few pages denouncing the distinguished Arctic geographer William Barr, who admires Rae but awards the prize to Amundsen.
The debate is rife with hairsplitting logic and the most sensible conclusion seems to be that there was no single discoverer. And if historians are going to follow McGoogan's bold example and give Indigenous people a true leading part, why is it necessary to exalt any white explorer? Rae is presented as the hero who shattered conventions and valued Indigenous wisdom, but his writings show he wasn't free of racism. He used Indigenous techniques, but often took a patronizing attitude to Indigenous people.
In 1824, Edward Parry published an Inuit map of the Melville Peninsula's west coast. Rae later surveyed the area and found that the chart was generally, though not perfectly, accurate. In 1891, Parry was mistakenly credited with first exploring this coastline. Rae was enraged – not because credit was being taken from the Inuit, but because it was being taken from him. He and Franklin were both 19th-century Brits, and the differences between them were differences of degree, not of kind.
Celebrating Franklin seems reactionary and wrong to many Canadians today because they associate him with British imperialism. Rae, much less famous in his own time, can more easily be shaped into a hero for the 21st century. Elevating him over Franklin offers a very significant advantage: It encourages more diverse narratives about the Northwest Passage. McGoogan is an adept storyteller and Dead Reckoning is an engrossing read. But a book without a supposedly flawless white hero at its heart would be even better.

Financial technology provider 4sight Financial Software has launched a collateral optimisation module for its Xpose Collateral Management System.
The solution lets financial firms run automated availability checks based on a counterparty's acceptability and concentration schedules. The system then proposes the cheapest way to deliver collateral within schedule.
The collateral optimisation system can also run collateral allocations across all of a firm's counterparts and across business lines, including securities lending, repo and OTC/listed derivatives. This lets the system show the discrepancy between the firm's actual collateral cost on current allocations and optimum collateral cost on the best possible allocations.
The module also lets users run what if scenarios to allocate collateral against underlying clients in the collateral pool without booking any collateral movements. Users can then collateralise their underlying clients in the most efficient manner.
"Collateral optimisation is becoming of crucial importance in making effective use of balance sheet due to forthcoming regulators such as Basel III and Dodd Frank, and the new module helps users to manage collateral supply and demand in a much more efficient manner," said Judith McKelvey, 4sight sales director.
FTEN, the risk management solutions arm of exchange group Nasdaq OMX, has set out a series of real-time risk analytics for options trading, intended to boost its cross-asset, cross-market and cross-system risk management abilities.
RiskXposure (RX) FTEN's enterprise risk platform, now provides brokers with standardised, real-time options volatilities data to apply to individual option positions and portfolios with combined equity and option positions. The additional ability is intended to help brokers quickly identify and address intraday portfolio exposure across equities and options on a pre- and post-trade basis.
The ability to draw on volatilities data such as delta, gamma and vega Greek values directly through RX should help firms respond to intraday market exposure before it becomes disruptive. RX gives users the ability to set risk exposure limits on individual positions and entire portfolios. When a limit is breached, RX will only permit trades that reduce market exposure.
"By aggregating transaction data from multiple trading systems, high-frequency trading gateways and exchanges to a central point, customers are able to proactively address their global trading risk in rapidly changing market conditions," said Ted Myerson, CEO, FTEN.
Cross-asset analytics provider Numerix has released its latest version of Numerix CrossAsset model coverage for VIX futures instruments to more accurately price volatility linked derivatives.
The VIX was first introduced in 1993 to track the implied volatility of certain stock market indices. Today, there are VIX-like indices measuring the implied volatility of various equity and commodity indices and many exchange-traded instruments written on the VIX.
With CrossAsset 10.0, Numerix has developed its VIX coverage to better model equity indices and their volatility dynamics. The well-known Heston and Bates equity and commodity models can now be calibrated to VIX futures and options, taking into account the volatility of volatility term structure for pricing and risk. The aim is to provide more accurate prices, resulting in better hedges.
Greenline Financial Technology has partnered with Bursa Malaysia to deliver automated FIX protocol testing. Malaysia's national exchange chose Greenline's VeriFIX automated testing tool and testing advisory services.
Bursa Malaysia is part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) trading initiative, which has selected VeriFIX to automate connectivity testing across its regionally-connected exchanges. ASEAN's electronic trading link is an intra-Asian cross-border order routing and trading platform intended to let investor and broker members access multiple markets through a single connection. In June the link will initially be between Bursa Malaysia and the Singapore Exchange, then by August the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The region's other stock markets – the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the Philippine Stock Exchange and Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi exchanges – are involved in discussions to join the network, but their participation is not confirmed.
Meanwhile, Mexican broker Casa de Bolsa Finamex has selected Greenline's VeriFIX for automated and business-wide system testing. Finamex uses VerFIX to test connectivity and functions between its own applications and vendor networks, client order management systems as well as equities and derivatives exchanges in Mexico.


Back in October, we met up with the team at Runaway Parade to learn about Fire Tower, their first game and a Kickstarter success.
I enjoyed the prototype copy so much that I bought in that very same night, and it was well worth the wait.
Designers Samuel Bryant and Gwen Ruelle have been playing games since they were young and never grew out of the hobby. In designing Fire Tower Sam and Gwen set out to create a fun and intuitive game that would be accessible to all. And what a glowing success it is!
Setup is a breeze and takes no time at all. But as you setup for the first time, take a moment to appreciate the quality of the game components. The board is small and sturdy with a beautifully painted forest with an eternally burning fire in the center of the forest, complete with a wooden flame meeple. The same watercolor flames of the eternal fire is what's prominently and shamelessly displayed on the cardbacks, making it impossible to miss the care that went into the final design.
Similarly to the fire meeple, there's a black wooden arrow meeple that acts as the game's weather vane, keeping players informed of the wind's direction. If players don't want to use the fire meeple to keep track of wind direction, they can use the weather vane placed on a smokey grey compass to indicate direction instead. It's a little less thematic, but easier to read at a glance.
But the crown and glory of Fire Tower are the fire tokens themselves. These translucent orange gems fill the board as wildfire engulfs the forest and nearby towers. At first glance it appears that each of the gems is unique. However, they're all identical and have so many facets that each one sits differently, creating the illusion of embers rising over one another. As the board fills up it looks more and more like there's a blaze consuming everything in its path.
The goal of Fire Tower is simple. The board is divided into four quadrants (NW, NE, SE, and SW) and in the far corners of those quadrants stands a fire tower overlooking a forest as it's immolated. Your goal is to keep the fire away from your own tower while pushing the flames toward your opponents. The player in control of the last remaining fire tower is the victor.
Fire Tower is arguably the most straightforward game that we've covered so far. At the start of the game five cards are dealt to each player. Then the wind direction die is rolled to indicate which way the wind is initially blowing. The first fire gem gets placed adjacent to the eternal fire in the center of the board in whatever direction the die determined. Whoever that one gem is closest to is the player who gets to play first. And now you're ready to start setting things ablaze!
Each turn is played in three easy steps. At the start of each turn, the player will add one new fire gem to the board adjacent to an existing one in whatever direction the wind is blowing.
Then the player will choose one card from their hand to play that action. There are four kinds of cards in the game for players to use to their advantage. Orange cards can be played to spread fire in the direction of your opponents while their opposite blue cards can be used extinguish fires that are too close for comfort. If you don't like the way the winds are blowing, you can change them with gray wind cards or if you can't change it you can play a purple firebreak card to create obstacles that the flames can't travel through. Each one of these cards has an action attached to it that goes into effect immediately.
As the last step to their turn, players will refill their hand by drawing one new card from the top of the deck, signifying that their turn is over. In instance when a player dislikes options, they can opt to discard any number of cards from their hand and redraw instead of playing an action. It's an easy turn order that sees very little variation.
The only time this order ever changes is when special card is drawn from the deck. As soon as one of these three cards is revealed it must be played immediately. The first (and most destructive) of these cards is Firestorm. Whenever this card is drawn the wind picks up and spreads flames everywhere. The die is rolled to determine the direction of the wind gusts and then a new fire gem is added to each vacant space in the direction that is next to existing fire. Once the flames consume the board and everyone is scrambling to save their tower, you roll the die and go through the process once more. By the end of a firestorm card's effect, no one is safe from harm.
The two other specialty cards, Mutual Aid and Shadows of the Wood, are entirely optional but we recommend playing with one or the other to spice the game up a bit. If the mutual aid card is drawn, the player who draws it chooses one of three actions on the card that every player at the table will then do. The options are to either add a new fire gem, place a firebreak token, or discard and draw three new cards. Even if the chosen action isn't helpful to everyone, they must execute it.
But I've saved my personal favorite card for last. Fire Tower is ultimately a player elimination game but that's never fun for the loser who has to sit and watch everyone else play. As Fire Tower is designed to be accessible and fun for all, that simply won't do. Runaway Parade introduced the Shadow of the Wood card as the solution to a player sitting on the sidelines. Even when a player has lost, they aren't out of the game. When the Shadow of the Wood card is drawn each eliminated player can take an action. Theses players are still eliminated from the game and can't win, but they can get the chance to exact revenge.
Shadow of the Woods allows eliminated players to either draw a card from each player's hand and choose one of them to play against the remaining players and their towers. Or if that's not fulfilling enough, eliminated players can instead roll the directional die three times and place one new fire gem in each of the three directions. Better yet, if the Shadow of the Wood card is in the discard pile when someone's tower is eliminated, it gets shuffled right back into the deck making sure that everyone has the chance to haunt their opponent.
So if there are so many types of cards and actions to play, how can Fire Tower be considered a gateway game? For starters, the objective is simple: don't let the flames get too close. But each of the action cards has a concise description of how the card is played, complete with a three by three grid that visualizes the orientations that each card will let you place or remove tokens. After just a few plays, it's easy to familiarize yourself with the function of each card by name alone, but the grid illustrations make it even easier for first time players.
Since receiving our copy of Fire Tower we've had several friends of WTMG come into town who wanted to play. In each case it's taken us no more than five minutes to teach the full set of rules to a new player. It might take a full game for them to grasp how to form a strategy, but games only take fifteen to thirty minutes so it's playing a few games in one evening is easy.
Fire Tower is at its best with four players, but can be played with two or three as well. In a two player game, Fire Tower feels a bit more like checkers than anything else. Players sit across from each other in control of opposite towers making calculated moves exchanging fire tokens and trying to play the wind against one another. One versus one scenarios are quick but calculated and once a board quadrant begins to fill with fire, it's incredibly difficult to turn around without a third or fourth party to intervene in the showdown.
Whenever there's a third player someone will always be the middle tower and susceptible to being teamed up on. As a way to mitigate that, the unused tower can be used as another eternal fire and starting fire tokens can be placed on the board from that corner, giving the third player just enough reach to make up for being flanked by the two existing towers.
Fire Tower has only been in our possession for a little over a week now, but it's hit the table more than any other game in that timeframe (with the exception of Gloomhaven which simply never got put away). The current production is the game's first and there is a limited quantity available right now but if you've been in search of a gateway game for your friends that can still bring joy to the experienced gamer. There's no word on when another production will become available so if you want to get a copy from Runaway Parade, now is your chance. It's an excellent game that's perfect for any age and if you can get yourself a copy you won't be disappointed.
Fire Tower only takes a few minutes to learn. Runaway Parade implemented wonderful visual tools that make learning Fire Tower a breeze.
The board and card artwork is simplistic and beautiful but the fire gems steal the show.
The quickplay nature of the game makes this an easy game to get to the table night after night.
Fire Tower is available now through Runaway Parade's website.

The severity of the crash determines the way your body reacts to the impact, however, no matter how minor the crash was, the truth is that our bodies are not made to deal that type of impact. This is why car crash injuries can cause long-term and painful issues, especially if they are not treated correctly. Many car accident victims are often not even aware that they have sustained injuries, which is why it is important to get checked by a medical professional following an accident. If you fail to address the injury immediately, you can actually suffer further damage.
When you seek treatment from one of our car accident doctors in Downtown Phoenix, AZ, you can be assured that we not only will treat the symptoms, but we also treat the root problem. Too many times with conventional medicine, patients are given medication for pain and told to go home and rest. But that medication does not take care of the actual injury that is causing the pain.
The patient only feels okay for three to four hours until they have to take another dose again when the medication wears off. Not only is the actual problem not being treated, but the patient risks serious side effects because of the type of medication they have been prescribed.
At Dr. Monte Hessler – Team Chiropractor, our treatments involve realigning the body, fixing the problem that was caused when the vehicle you were in was smashed into by another, allowing you to be pain-free again – and able to throw away those powerful painkillers.

Q: Positive harmonic function with harmonic reciprocal must be constant Let $f(z)$ be a positive harmonic function on the unit disk such that $\frac{1}{f(z)}$ is also harmonic. Show $f(z)$ must be constant.

A: Hint: $0=\Delta(f\cdot 1/f)=f\Delta(1/f)+2\langle \nabla f,\nabla(1/f) \rangle+\Delta(f)(1/f).$

A: A different (I think more elegant) approach: $\displaystyle \pi r^2=\int_{B(0,r)}1=\int_{B(0,r)}\frac{\sqrt{f}}{\sqrt{f}}\le\bigg(\int_{B(0,r)}f\bigg)^{1/2}\bigg(\int_{B(0,r)}\frac{1}{f}\bigg)^{1/2}=\pi r^2\frac{\sqrt{f}}{\sqrt{f}}=\pi r^2\,,$ hence we must have equality in the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality so that $\displaystyle \sqrt{f}=\frac{c}{\sqrt{f}}\,,$ so $f=c\,.$

A: Note that $$\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}(\frac{1}{f})=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(-\frac{f_x}{f^2})=-\frac{f_{xx}}{f^2}+2\frac{f_x^2}{f^3}.$$
This implies that
$$\tag{1}\Delta (1/f)=(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2})(\frac{1}{f})=-\frac{f_{xx}+f_{yy}}{f^2}+2\frac{f_x^2+f_y^2}{f^3}
=-\frac{\Delta f}{f^2}+2\frac{f_x^2+f_y^2}{f^3}.$$
Since $f$ and $1/f$ are both harmonic, $\Delta (1/f)=\Delta f=0$, which implies by $(1)$ that
$$2\frac{f_x^2+f_y^2}{f^3}=0,$$ or equivalently,
$$f_x^2+f_y^2=0$$
which implies that $f$ is constant.
