About roleplaying
Ynnee was born in 3rd Era 410, in Morrowind, Narsis, 4 years before the island of Vvardenfell was opened for settlement to the Imperial people. Her parents, being part of the Great House Hlaalu, moved to Vvanderfell in 3rd Era 412, as the House had already some territories there, even if not as developped as it would become later.
They stopped briefly in what would become the great city of Balmora, before moving to the North-East of the Ascadian Isles, in the town of Suran. There, Ynnee's parent bought a comfortable house in the pure Hlaalu architectural style, where her pregnant mother could rest until she gave birth, while her father began working on his shop.
Avys Hlaalu was a great merchant, related indirectly to the Great House Hlaalu, via some alliances, even if his name suggests otherwise. Still, he represented the most valued attributes of the House: tolerant, gifted with both impressive charisma and speechcraft skills, he had a great sense of economy and opportunism. His physical appearance could have been qualified as "sharp", especially his bright red eyes, matching his red hairs, which vertical pupils seemed to look deep inside your soul when looking at them. Even though, this would only be an appearance, rather effective when it came to business, and a warm smile would often come to sooth Avys's harsh look.
Ode Hlaalu, on the other hand, was a superb, sweet-looking dunmer. While Avys looked "Sharp", Ode was definitely "Soft". Round face, bordered with long silver hair, Ode's eyes were made of a light tune of pink, reflecting all the love she was capable to show to those she liked. Another specific feature was her unusually long ears, familial trait inherited from her ancestors. Said ancestors were also part of the Great House Hlaalu, directly this time, granting her a rather high status among the rulers of the House. But Ode definitely was more the type to rise a family rather than rule an organisation.
Avys opened a general store in Suran, which was reknowned for its quality, would it be food, armors, weapons or more usual tools, aswell as the clothes Ode crafted when she had time to. In a short time, they became rather rich, allowing them to live in a better way than most common folks. Ode gave birth to two other children, to the joy of her husband. They seemed unusually fertile for dunmers, but truth be told, they were also loving each other a lot, and Avys knew there was a time for work, but also a time to "love his wife".
Ynnee and her family lived for some years in Suran, a quite happy life passed playing in the Lake Masobi, learning how to read and some other things at the local temple, fishing in the Nabia river with her parents, or simply enjoying the decreasing agitation of the streets as the day slowly let place to the evening.
She grew as a cunning and malicious child, and some would even have considered she was "excessively" clever. Even if her parents wouldn't mind that fact, knowing intelligent persons are usually criticized, they were nonetheless slightly worried about Ynnee's personality.
Very soon, she showed over-confidence, aswell as an increasing need for her ego to be flattered. She was also prompt to use her skills and "qualities" to get advantages from the other children. As years passed, she became rebelious and insolent toward authorities, not to say condescending.
She also showed some interests in Daedras, some considered as good in the Dunmer's tradition, like Azura, some darker and even forbidden, like Nocturnal and even Sheogorath, one corner of the "House of Trouble". Another disturbing fact was one of her favourite passtime being to hunt and shoot wild birds for dinner, quickly becoming deadly with a bow in her hands.
But Avys and Ode wouldn't consider this seriously, and saw her daughter as "strong tempered", often laughing warmly at her original and unusual opinions. They gave her all the love they could, raising her as a rather good girl, even if uncommon and somehow disturbing.
But in 3rd Era 423, this life came to an end.
Within House Hlaalu, it is rather common that a betrayal is seen as a mere sacrifice to make a greater profit. In order to honour an "oral contract" with one of Avys's competitor, some individuals sinked his business and made sure he wouldn't be able to reflood it with some income.
Ruined, his shop lost, Avys and his family had no choice but to begin another life. Ynnee's parents decided together to move to the Province of Cyrodiil and leave Morrowind. There, they were hoping to create a new shop with what was left of their fortune.
And so they migrated and arrived in Cheydinhal, nearest city to their homeland. Ynnee, 13 years old at that time, was heart broken to leave Suran, and took it rather badly. But eventually, she managed to get over it, and did what she could to help her father rising his new business.
There, she spent many days in the streets of Cheydinhal. Even if she missed the islands and rocks of Suran, she had to admit that town was worth her interest and rather charming. She learned some tricks about how to use swords and blades, watching the members of the Fighters Guild training outside.
After two years, Avys business wasn't as healthy as it was back then in Suran. Even with all the efforts he put in it and after struggling to build himself a reputation, the gates of his shops were definitely closed in 3rd Era 425, leading the whole family to move once again, to Bravil, in a little house near the dirty river crossing the town.
Ynnee took that event pretty badly, offended nobody there would recognize the talent of her father, and dipleased at the idea to live in such poor conditions. This let her with a feeling of strong injustice, and wasn't to help her rebelious nature.
Nevertheless, Bravil proved to be of some help, even if it wasn't the kind of help someone honnest would have first expected. For it is in the dark alleys of the town that Ynnee learned most of her fighting and thieving skills. She learned how to remain discreet, keep a low profile, how to dodge a dagger aiming for your back. She improved her knowledge of human mind and how to manipulate it, twisting her own mind in the process, and made a few useful relations among the Underground world.
With her brand new knowledge and capacities, Ynnee started to accumulate some gold to improve her parent's life. Even with the depths of her mind getting more and more twisted as time passed, she always remained logical, and felt an "intense" love toward her family. Her parents, on the other hand, even if worried about how she was turning out, found themselves incapable to change her behaviour. The strong-tempered little girl was changing into a fearsome, steel-minded elf, and at this point of her life, nothing they could do or say would have been enough to modify that "evolution", not to mention that they both were already busy with their two other children and getting enough money to eat everyday.
And so Ynnee grew as a deliciously beautiful mer, as sweet-looking as her mother. But this beauty went along with a cold, analytic, and most of all twisted spirit. Those who would look at this dunmer without knowing her could have given everything, even their life only to help such an angel, only to find in the end they helped a demon.
In a short time, she joined the rank of the Thieves Guild, but her independance and lack of respect to the rules made her rather impopular among the heads of the Guild. Anyway, this helped her getting even more money to help her parents, aswell as her own interests.
She left her home and Bravil in 3rd Era 429, at the age of 19, and began a more adventurous life. Nobody knows much about what she did during her trips, but a fact is that she was contacted by the Dark Brotherhood not so long after she departed.
Later on, she entered the Shivering Isles along with her brother, and after a long adventure way beyong borders of Madness, she joined the Court of Dementia, accessing a high and influent position on everything occuring in Dementia. But that is another story...
These two affiliations, of course, did not help to maintain what was left of her "normality".
As years passed, Ynnee and the rest of her family helped her parents to get their fortune back and build a brand new shop in Suran aswell as a succursal in Narsis, Morrowind.
Nowadays, Ynnee wanders from places to places, inpredictably, would it be on Nirn or on the Shivering Isles. Her job as assassin is reknowned among the Dark Brotherhood, but all things considered, the most fearsome is not really what she does as a job, but rather what she does as a hobby.
[*] Great House Hlaalu: Even if Ynnee's family is directly related to House Hlaalu, they are most of the time placed appart of the leaders and rarely consulted, given their... "Particularities".
[*] Thieves Guild, Province of Cyrodiil: Ynnee was first part of the Thieves Guild, but her temper and taste for killing made her rather impopular among its members. Still, she knows some useful contacts when it comes to sell illegaly acquired items.
[*] Dark Brotherhood, Imperial City district: Ynnee is well-known among the different leaders of the Dark Brotherhood, and so ended up in one of the most important sanctuary of Tamriel: the Imperial City sanctuary, in the capital of the Empire. With such an amount of noble and important persons, "work" definitely doesn't lack in this city.
Many times she has been proposed to take the grade of Speaker, but Ynnee, however, always refused such boring responsabilities, having way too much fun accomplishing contracts. Hence, she would rather be knowned among the assassins of the Sanctuary as a "Silencer" (which she is, ironically) instead of a Speaker, and inspires fearful respect of the members, who tend to compare her to a female version of Sithis, even though that "joke" usually doesn't last long. Hard to make fun without a tongue.
[*] Court of Dementia: As the Dark Brotherhood is more of a "fun, lucrative job", the Court of Dementia is more of a second "House" for Ynnee. After her adventure with her brother Aydel, she ended as a high member of the Court, Sheogorath granting her the power to do anything she pleased to anything (or anywho) on the Dementia part.

Animals On Campus: 2-Part Webinar Series
Webinar 1 Overview
Animals On Campus: Developing Policies That Comply With Federal & State Laws
The campus serves as a place of learning, a home, a workspace, and as a gathering place for members of its community. As more members of our campus communities look to bring animals with them into these various locations, universities are charged with developing welcoming and inclusive environments while maintaining a high level of service to the community as a whole. In order to fulfill that charge campuses must develop policies that comply with applicable federal and state laws, and establish expectations for any individuals interested in bringing an animal to campus.
During this webinar, you will learn about the various types of animals encountered on a college campus and the associated rights of those animal owners. Types of animals discussed include service animals, service animals in training, emotional support animals, therapy animals, and pets. The presenter will share personal experience leading the committee at Stetson University through the process of developing a campus-wide animal policy. The presenter will provide some resources to help with the development of a policy and subsequent education for university constituents.
Animals On Campus 2.0: Creating Policies For Inclusion, Accountability & Safety
The development of an animal policy is a collaborative effort bringing constituents from across the campus together to ensure compliance, support, and accountability for the entire community. The various perspectives brought to the table raise important questions and allow for multi-disciplinary problem solving. This ensures a comprehensive policy, as well as, complimentary procedures for the enforcement of the policy. During this webinar, we will briefly review the various laws and regulations to consider when developing the animal policy. We will then explore the various campus partners that can be helpful in bringing to the table during the development of an animal policy. Based on the presenter's experience chairing the animal policy committee, he will share some of the key contributions from the committee members and their role in the development and implementation of the final policy. The presenter will share how some of those contributions lead to the creation and/or refining of current campus procedures to ensure alignment with the policy. Finally, participants will have an opportunity to talk through some case studies to demonstrate how the animal policy and associated procedures would be used to support a healthy, safe, and welcoming campus culture.
Both webinars will be presented by:
Aaron Distler attended the University of Central Florida, a large public institution, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. Aaron continued his education at UCF obtaining his Master's degree in mental health counseling and a certificate in marriage and family therapy.

"They Burned My Heart" – new HRW Syria report
A man overcome with grief in Taftanaz. (HRW photo)
Syrian government forces killed at least 95 civilians and burned or destroyed hundreds of houses during a two-week offensive in northern Idlib governorate shortly before the ceasefire, Human Rights Watch says in a report released today.
The attacks happened in late March and early April, as United Nations special envoy Kofi Annan was negotiating with the Syrian government to end the fighting. The 38-page report, "'They Burned My Heart': War Crimes in Northern Idlib during Peace Plan Negotiations," documents dozens of extrajudicial executions, killings of civilians, and destruction of civilian property that qualify as war crimes, as well as arbitrary detention and torture. The report is based on a field investigation conducted by Human Rights Watch in the towns of Taftanaz, Saraqeb, Sarmeen, Kelly, and Hazano in Idlib governorate in late April.
"While diplomats argued over details of Annan's peace plan, Syrian tanks and helicopters attacked one town in Idlib after another," said Anna Neistat, associate director for program and emergencies at Human Rights Watch. "Everywhere we went, we saw burnt and destroyed houses, shops, and cars, and heard from people whose relatives were killed. It was as if the Syrian government forces used every minute before the ceasefire to cause harm."
Human Rights Watch documented large-scale military operations that government forces conducted between March 22 and April 6, 2012, in opposition strongholds in Idlib governorate, causing the death of at least 95 civilians. In each attack, government security forces used numerous tanks and helicopters, and then moved into the towns and stayed from one to three days before proceeding to the next town. Graffiti left by the soldiers in all of the affected towns indicate that the 76th Armored Brigade led the military operation.
In nine separate incidents documented by Human Rights Watch, government forces executed 35 civilians in their custody. The majority of executions took place during the attack on Taftanaz, a town of about 15,000 inhabitants northeast of Idlib city on April 3 and 4.
A survivor of the security forces' execution of 19 members of the Ghazal family in Taftanaz described to Human Rights Watch finding the bodies of his relatives:
We first found five bodies in a little shop next to the house. They were almost completely burnt. We could only identify them by a few pieces of clothes that were left. Then we entered the house and in one of the rooms found nine bodies on the floor, next to the wall. There was a lot of blood on the floor. On the wall, there was a row of bullet marks. The nine men had bullet wounds in their backs, and some in their heads. Their hands were not tied, but still folded behind.
Human Rights Watch researchers were able to observe the bullet marks on the wall that formed a row about 50-60 cm above the floor. Two of those executed were under 18 years old.
In several other cases documented by Human Rights Watch, government forces opened fire and killed or injured civilians trying to flee the attacks. The circumstances of these cases indicate that government forces failed to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to take necessary precautionary measures to protect civilians. Government forces did not provide any warning to the civilian population about the attacks. For example, 76-year-old Ali Ma'assos and his 66-year-old wife, Badrah, were killed by machine-gun fire shortly after the army launched its attack on Taftanaz in the morning on April 3 as they tried to flee the town in a pick-up truck with more than 15 friends and family members.
Upon entering the towns, government forces and shabeeha (pro-government militias) also burned and destroyed a large number of houses, stores, cars, tractors, and other property. Local activists have recorded the partial or complete burning and destruction of hundreds of houses and stores. In Sarmeen, for example, local activists have recorded the burning of 437 rooms and 16 stores, and the complete destruction of 22 houses.
In Taftanaz, activists said that about 500 houses were partially or completely burned and that 150 houses had been partially or completely destroyed by tank fire or other explosions.
Human Rights Watch examined many of the burned or destroyed houses in the affected towns. In most cases, the burning and destruction appeared to be deliberate. The majority of houses that were burned had no external damage, excluding the possibility that shelling ignited the fire. In addition, many of the ruined houses were completely destroyed, in contrast to those which appeared to have been hit by tank shells, where the damage was only partial.
During the military operations, the security forces also arbitrarily detained dozens of people, holding them without any legal basis. About two-thirds of the detainees remain in detention to date, despite promises by President Bashar al-Assad's government to release political detainees. In most cases, the fate and whereabouts of the detainees remains unknown, raising fears that they had been subjected to enforced disappearances. Those who have been released, many of them elderly or disabled, told Human Rights Watch that during their detention in various branches of the mukhabarat (intelligence agencies) in Idlib city they had been subjected to torture and ill treatment.
Opposition fighters were present in all of the towns prior to the attacks and in some cases tried to prevent the army from entering the towns. In most cases, according to local residents, opposition fighters withdrew quickly when they realized that they were significantly outnumbered and had no means to resist tanks and artillery. In other towns, opposition fighters left without putting up any resistance; residents said this was in order to avoid endangering the civilian population.
The fighting in Idlib appeared to reach the level of an armed conflict under international law, given the intensity of the fighting and the level of organization on both sides, including the armed opposition, who ordered and conducted retreats. This would mean that international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict) would apply in addition to human rights law. Serious violations of international humanitarian law are classified as war crimes.
Human Rights Watch has previously documented and condemned serious abuses by opposition fighters in Syria, including abuses in Taftanaz. These abuses should be investigated and those responsible brought to justice. These abuses by no means justify, however, the violations committed by the government forces, including summary executions of villagers and the large-scale destruction of villages.
Human Rights Watch called on the United Nations Security Council to ensure that the UN supervisory mission deployed to Syria includes a properly staffed and equipped human rights section that is able safely and independently to interview victims of human rights abuses such as those documented in this report, while protecting them from retaliation. Human Rights Watch also called on the UN Security Council to ensure accountability for these crimes by referring the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court, and for the ongoing UN Commission of Inquiry to support this.
"The United Nations – through the Commission of Inquiry and the Security Council – should make sure that the crimes committed by Syrian security forces do not go unpunished," said Neistat. "The peace plan efforts will be seriously undermined if abuses continue behind the observers' backs."
Eyewitness Accounts from "They Burned My Heart…"
The soldiers had handcuffed him behind his back. They didn't hit him in front of me, but I saw that his eye was bruised. I tried to be quiet and nice to the soldiers so that they would release him. They spent about 15 minutes in the house, asking him about weapons and searching everywhere. I think they were looking for money. I didn't say good-bye so as to not make him sad. He didn't say anything either. When they left, the soldiers said that I should forget him.
Mother of Mohammad Saleh Shamrukh, chant-leader from Saraqeb, who was summarily executed by the Syrian security forces on March 25, 2012
The soldiers placed the four of us facing a wall. They first asked Awad where his armed sons were. When Awad said that he was an old man and that he didn't have any armed sons, they just shot him three times from a Kalashnikov. They then said to Ahmed that apparently 25 years in prison had not been enough for him. When he didn't say anything, they shot him. They then shot Iyad without any questions and he fell on my shoulder. I realized that it was my turn. I said there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet and then I don't remember anything else.
Mohammed Aiman Ezz, 43-year-old man shot three times in the back of the head and neck by government forces in an attempted execution of four men in Taftanaz on April 4. He was the only survivor
I knew in my heart it was my boys [my son and my brother], that they were killed. I ran out, and about 50 meters from the house there were nine bodies, next to the wall. There were still snipers on the roofs, and we had to move very slowly, using flashlights. I pointed my flashlight at the first body, then the second – it wasn't Uday or Saed. Then I asked the neighbors to help, and we found them both. Saed still had his hands tied behind. People later told me that Uday and Saed were executed there, and the other seven were FSA fighters brought from other places. Uday had a bullet wound in the neck and the back of his head; Saed in his chest and neck.
"Heba" (not her real name), mother of 15-year-old Uday Mohammed al-Omar and 21-year-old Saeed Mustafa Barish, both executed by the Syrian security forces in Saraqeb on March 26, 2012
The tank was on the main road, just 10 meters away from the house. Suddenly, they fired four shells, one after the other, into the house. I was in the house next door, with my mother and six children. We were all thrown into the air by the blast, and for 15 minutes I couldn't see or hear anything. Then we went into the room that was hit by the shells. One of the walls had a huge hole, some 1.5 meters in diameter, and the opposite wall was completely destroyed. We found Ezzat in the rubble; we could only see his fingers and part of his shoe. It is a miracle that his wife and child were not hurt. They were in the same house, but went to the kitchen when the shells hit. We took Ezzat out, but couldn't save him. His chest was crushed, and blood was coming out of his mouth and ears.
"Rashida" (not her real name), a relative of 50-year-old Ezzat Ali Sheikh Dib who died when the army shelled his house in Saraqeb on March 27, 2012
They put a Kalashnikov [assault rifle] to my head and threatened to kill us all if my husband did not come home. The children started crying. Then an officer told a soldier to get petrol and told the children that he would burn them like he would burn their father because he is a terrorist. When the soldier came back with some sort of liquid – it didn't seem to be petrol – they poured it out in three of the rooms while we were staying in the living room. We wanted to get out of the house, but the soldiers prevented us. My young daughters were crying and begging them to let us go. We were all terrified.

They put me in the car, handcuffed, and kept there all day, until seven in the evening. I told them, 'I am an old man, let me go to the bathroom,' but they just beat me on the face. Then they brought me to State Security in Idlib, and put me in a 30-square-meter cell with about 100 other detainees. I had to sleep squatting on the floor. There was just one toilet for all of us. They took me to an interrogation four times, each time asking why some of my family members joined the FSA. I didn't deny it, but said there was nothing I could do to control what my relatives do. They slapped me on the face a lot.

The Falcon's Crest: Chicago Mafia Leader Albie Vena Has Surrounded Himself With Old-School Advisors, Per Sources
21 June, 2019 13 October, 2020
According to sources, when Chicago mobster Albert (Albie the Falcon) Vena was promoted to Outfit street boss four years ago, he was allowed to staff his own cabinet. These sources say James (Jimmy I) Inendino has been acting as Vena's underboss and Joe (The Builder) Andriacchi has served as his consigliere, with the actual position titles being "loose." The 70-year old Vena has been the target of a multi-agency racketeering and murder probe since early 2014, per sources in Illinois law enforcement. He has run the Outfit's Grand Avenue crew for over a decade. Inendino has been in charge of the Chicago mafia's Cicero crew since coming out of prison in 2008. Elder statesman Joe the Builder, 86, has held a variety of Outfit administrative posts over the past 30 years. In his younger days, Vena once reported to Andriacchi in the now-shuttered Northside crew. Vena and Andriacchi are considered suspects in the 2006 slaying of then Outfit underboss Anthony (Little Tony) Zizzo. Vena beat a murder rap at trial in the 1990s. Inendino, 76, has never been charged in any homicides, however was reportedly a member of Cicero crew's so-called Wild Bunch hit squad in the 1970s and early 1980s. He was busted in 2001 in a racketeering and political corruption scandal involving the Mayor of Cicero, a town notoriously mobbed up dating back to the days of Al Capone during Prohibition. Andriacchi hasn't had any run-ins with the law since he finished a stint behind bars for burglary in 1971. Sometimes called "The Sledgehammer" for his not-so-subtle way of safe cracking during his time as a cat burglar in his youth, Andriacchi has long headquartered his affairs on Rush Street in Chicago's main downtown entertainment district. Little Tony Zizzo was en route to meet Andriacchi on Rush Street so Andriacchi could mediate a dispute between Zizzo and then Outfit acting boss Michael (Fat Mike) Sarno over video poker machines routes when he disappeared on August 31, 2006. Zizzo has been declared legally dead. The overall boss of the Chicago mob today is allegedly Salvatore (Solly D) DeLaurentis, who is said to be in semi-retirement living half the year in Wisconsin.

Recently I ran across a sale on K&N auto filters advertised on the web. The company K&N Engineering sells the K&N filters. The replacement filters from K&N are supposed to improve air flow while still filtering the air efficiently. This should help improve performance and horsepower. The filters are also reusable. I've heard about this kind of filter before and had a vague idea that they should save you money but I wanted to take a closer look.
Some people believe that these filters improve MPG but the actual impact to fuel economy is unclear. K&N doesn't directly claim or boast of increased MPG. Personally I think if the filters did really increase MPG then the company that made them would be bragging loudly about it. Some users claim they have improved MPG. For example this article claims a 0.5 MPG increase on a truck. The governments Fueleconomy.gov site cited a study that found with new fuel injected and computer controlled engines that a clogged fuel filter shouldn't matter but for an older carbureted car the clogged filter did impact MPG. Since there are mixed opinions on this I wouldn't count on MPG improvement.
I can buy a K&N 33-2260 Replacement Air Filter off Amazon for my Toyota for about $28. A cleaning kit costs about $11, the cleaning solution is supposed to be enough for 5-10 uses. The FAQ on the K&N site says that you should only need to clean the standard filters once in 50k miles. So you're talking about $40 for a filter and cleaning kit that should last the life of your car.
A standard disposable air filter would cost $10-11 on Amazon or NAPA. The typical paper filters are supposed to be replaced every 10k to 15k miles.
Lets say you operate your car for 150k miles and the disposable filters last 15k miles each. You'd need 10 disposable filters at a cost of about $10 each for $100 total. The reusable K&N filter would cost $40 and last as long. The reusable K&N filter could save me $60 over 100k of driving. Now keep in mind this is just one example and the air filter costs vary depending on the make of the car in question.
I found a few sources of reviews of the K&N filters. Amazon reviews for the 33-2260 model were good with 13 reviews and over 4 stars. The33-2031-2 model had 23 reviews also over 4 stars. The site Car Review had over 100 reviews for K&N filters with average score of 4.1 out of 5. Thats pretty good review averages. Generally the reviews I find for K&N filters are quite good.
Bottom line the K&N air filters seem like a good deal. They have some solid benefits in increased performance and lowered costs plus some pretty happy customers. But I wouldn't count on an MPG increase.


Filter oil through coffee filter or cheese cloth. Keep in fridge.
The night before (or a few hours at least), add chopped garlic to the yogurt with the lemon juice. Stir well and put back in fridge.
Break each egg into a strainer and swirl it very lightly to get rid of the loosest whites, then transfer each egg into a rammekin. This makes the poached eggs look much prettier.
Create a bath in the water by swirling the water around for a few seconds with a wooden spoon. Lower the bottom of the ramekin into the water and tilt it so the egg drops in. The swirling prevents it from sticking. Let egg cook for 3 minutes then remove with slotted spoon and place into an ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with other eggs. When ready to serve, reheat the eggs for 1 minute in the same temperature water (You can do them at the same time since they will not stick once cooked). Put them on a paper towel to drain for a few seconds.
Assemble the plate...salt and pepper the ricotta to taste, put on one half on the plate. Put the garlic yogourt on the other half. Top with the two poached eggs and S&P the plate. Top with a generous amount of the paprika oil and any garnish you like. Best served with some fresh baguette slices and crispy pancetta/prosciutto.

Coronavirus: 14-day quarantine for travellers arriving in UK from 8 June
James Cheng-Morris
·Freelance news writer, Yahoo UK
22 May 2020, 0:00 pm ·3-min read
Priti Patel has announced two-week quarantines will be imposed on new arrivals to the UK from June 8.
Two-week quarantines will be imposed on new arrivals to the UK from 8 June, with a fine for anyone who breaches the rules.
Home secretary Priti Patel announced the policy on Friday as part of a government plan to prevent new waves of coronavirus from overseas.
Patel said: "I fully expect the majority of people will do the right thing and abide by these measures. But we will take enforcement action against the minority of people who endanger the safety of others."
Under the rules:
Breaches will be punishable with a £1,000 fixed penalty notice in England, or prosecution with an unlimited fine. Devolved nations can set out their own enforcement approaches
If a passenger's accommodation does not meet necessary requirements – with hotels or staying with friends and family listed as suitable options – they will have to self-isolate in hotel accommodation arranged by the government
People will have to fill in a form providing their contact and travel details so they can be traced if infections arise, and can be contacted regularly during the 14 days to ensure their compliance
Those exempt from the measures will include anyone moving from Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man; road haulage and freight workers; medical professionals travelling to help the coronavirus effort; and seasonal agricultural workers who will self-isolate on the property they are working

A snap YouGov poll suggested an overwhelming majority of Brits are in favour of the fines.
Of 3,710 adults surveyed, 80% supported the measure, with 59% "strongly supporting" and 21% "somewhat supporting" it.
(YouGov)
Patel said: "As the world begins to emerge from what we hope is the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, we must look to the future and protect the British public by reducing the risk of cases crossing our border.
"We are introducing these new measures now to keep the transmission rate down and prevent a devastating second wave."
However, it came after a member of the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) claimed a 14-day quarantine would be ineffective.
Prof John Edmunds had told LBC earlier on Friday: "Quarantining people coming into the country really matters when or if we get our incidence really low, so if our incidence is much lower than other countries then it makes some sense to do that.
"As it is, our incidence is actually quite high, so people coming into the country are unlikely to cause much of a problem at the moment."
Border Force will be able to refuse entry to foreign citizens who are not UK residents during border checks, while removal from the country could be used as a last resort, the Home Office said.
Anyone arriving by air, sea or rail will be advised to use personal transport to head to their accommodation, and once there not leave for 14 days.
They will not be allowed to accept visitors, unless they are providing essential support, and should not go out to buy food or other essentials "where they can rely on others".
Officials added people the new entrant is staying with will not need to quarantine, but that they should avoid contact with each other where possible.

Prairie Gothic: The Story of a West Texas Family
vol. 3: Frances B. Vick Series
John R. Erickson — author.
Contributors: Foreword by Elmer Kelton
Subjects: History - Texas, History - Western, Memoir
48 illus. Notes. Bib. Index.
Paperback, Hardcover, E-Book, Audio Book
About Erickson's Prairie Gothic
Prairie Gothic is rich in Texas history. It is the story of Erickson's family, ordinary people who, through strength of character, found dignity in the challenges presented by nature and human nature. It is also the story of the place instrumental in shaping their lives the flatland prairie of northwestern Texas that has gone by various names (High Plains, South Plains, Staked Plains, and Llano Estacado), as well as the rugged country on its eastern boundary, often referred to as the caprock canyonlands.
One branch of Erickson's family arrived in Texas in 1858, settling in Parker County, west of Weatherford. Another helped establish the first community on the South Plains, the Quaker colony of Estacado. They crossed paths with numerous prominent people in Texas history: Sam Houston, Sul Ross, Charles Goodnight, Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker, Jim Loving, and a famous outlaw, Tom Ross.
Erickson's research took him into the homes of well-known Texas authors, such as J. Evetts Haley and John Graves. Graves had written about the death of Erickson's great-great grandmother, Martha Sherman. The theme that runs throughout the book is that of family, of four generations' efforts to nurture the values of civilized people: reverence of the written word, honesty, godliness, thrift, and personal relationship. It is the story of pioneer women and their struggles to keep their families together; it is the story of cowboys, outlaws, and Indian raids, told against the background of a harsh environment of droughts, blizzards, and rattlesnakes; and it is universal. Erickson has created a fascinating blend of family and regional history.
"Erickson has given us a vivid and well-rounded picture of several generations in a pioneer family. He has a smooth writing style, offers sharp and clean images, and his prose often has a poetic quality." —Elmer Kelton, author over forty books, including The Good Old Boys and The Day the Cowboys Quit
JOHN R. ERICKSON, a fifth-generation Texan, was born and raised in the Texas Panhandle. In 1982 Erickson launched the Hank the Cowdog series, with sales well over seven million copies and counting. He is the author of Prairie Gothic, The Modern Cowboy, Catch Rope, LZ Cowboy, Panhandle Cowboy, Some Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys, and Friends, all published by the University of North Texas Press.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plays down talk of a Manchester United title challenge
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal as a win over Wolves moved the Red Devils up to second.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is playing down talk of a title challenge (Rui Vieira/PA).
By Simon Peach, PA Chief Football Writer
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was coy about Manchester United's title hopes after Marcus Rashford's last-gasp effort against Wolves propelled them up to second in the Premier League.
A topsy-turvy year that started with supporters calling for the heads of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the Glazer family ended with the Red Devils winning at an empty Old Trafford to move just two points behind leaders Liverpool.
United's mentality has been key to their improvements during 2020, with Solskjaer's men digging deep on Tuesday to seal a 1-0 win against Wolves through Rashford's deflected late strike.
Asked at what point he and the players acknowledge they are in a title race, the United boss said: "There's no title race after 15 games.
"You can lose the chance of being in a race in the first 10 games, of course you can.
"But play another 15, get to 30 and then maybe we can start talking about a title race, when you get to March or April, when we have at least played more than half a season.
Marcus Rashford's late goal helped Manchester United move up to second in the table (Michael Regan/PA)
"But the belief is there. Of course the players go into every game thinking we can win against anyone anywhere.
"Away we've shown what we're capable of. I think we're improving at home as well and this result is massive for confidence and for the attitude."
While United's play was ponderous at times on Tuesday, Solskjaer was proud of his players' desire "to create that little bit of luck" before eventually ending the year on a high.
"You get that by personalities, by recruitment," he said of the group's improving mentality.
💬 "In these games you've got to dig in and make sure you don't concede."

"Of course we've added that spark I think but also when you get results, and things are going your way, that helps.
"We brought it up early on in pre-season that we need to add more points towards the end of games. That's something we do as a club – we've done that so many times and we've done that quite a few times this season as well.
"Physically we last games more. I have to say I feel a bit for Wolverhampton, they have had one recovery day, which I don't think is right for any player or any team to only have one day between games.

"We were the lucky ones with the early kick-off at Leicester in this respect. Of course we had less recovery before the Leicester game.
"But I think the players deserve at least two days in between and I think it showed towards the end."
United return to action against Aston Villa on New Year's Day, while injury-hit Wolves kick off 2021 at Brighton the following day.
Nuno Espirito Santo was understandably gutted by the late gut punch on Tuesday evening, saying "it was tough to take.
The Wolves boss said: "We are experienced to know that sometimes it's the other way around. We take this and move forwards.
Nuno Espirito Santo felt his young players performed well at Old Trafford (Martin Rickett/PA)
"(The young players) did well. I think they did well. Situations happen. It's up to us to decide the right moments to play them and the answer was good.
"I think today was a game that everybody should learn from, especially the young boys. It's nothing that they have to worry about – I think they did really, really well.
"But the game teaches that you have to be focused until the last moment. It's a tough lesson to take but it's a good one."

Do Teens with Celiac Disease Have More Eating Disorders?
By Jefferson Adams
By Jefferson Adams • February 27, 2019
Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
We know that teens with celiac disease face challenges following a gluten-free diet. A recent study shows that teens with celiac disease may be at higher risk of developing eating disorders.

Celiac.com 02/27/2019 - To avoid the chronic inflammation, discomfort and damage associated with celiac disease, celiac patients need to follow a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. That can be a challenge for teens and young adults, as shown by a number of earlier studies. Some studies have indicated that the challenge of following a gluten-free diet can cause stress and raise the risk for disordered eating behavior in some people.
Teens and young adults with disordered eating behaviors face a greater risk of developing full-blown eating disorders. To better understand the issues involved, a team of researchers recently set out to assess the incidence and risk factors for disordered eating behaviors among individuals with celiac disease, and to examine a connection between a gluten-free diet and disordered eating behaviors.
The Israeli research team included Itay Tokatly Latzer, Liat Lerner-Geva, Daniel Stein, Batia Weiss, and Orit Pinhas-Hamiel. For their Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study, the team submitted a personal and dietary survey that included questions on gender, age, weight, disease duration, along with two self-rating questionnaires that assessed disordered eating behaviors and adherence to a gluten-free diet: the Eating Attitudes Test-26 and the gluten-free diet questionnaire.
They collected a total of 136 responses from celiac disease patients. They found in 7% of male and nearly 20% of female subjects. In general, patients who experienced disordered eating were overweight, older, and female.
About one in three patients reported strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, independent of age, disease duration, age at diagnosis of celiac disease, or being overweight.
According to this data, a significant number of adolescents with celiac disease experience disordered eating patterns, especially those who are overweight, older and female. Extra attention to this issue might help to disrupt these patterns and to prevent them from becoming worse in the future.

INTERVIEW: Ron Pope
Earlier this year Ron Pope released his ninth studio album, Calling Off The Dogs; a concept album following the evolution of a relationship from first sight to last interaction. In the midst of his summer tour, Soundcheck caught up with the New York based artist at the venue before his Edinburgh show, to talk about the record.
Soundcheck: So is this your first time in Scotland?
Ron Pope: No, I played in Glasgow earlier this year and last year as well.
SC: How does touring abroad compare to being back at home?
RP: You know, people often ask questions like 'well what's the different between your audience in this city and that city' or 'what's the difference when touring in Europe and America or Australia and Europe' or whatever, and I would say every night is different. So like if you play in London this tour and then you come back in six months and play there again it's going to be a completely different thing. It's the vibe of the individual people that come, sometimes it's what day of the week it is, what time you go on, if it's a town where people are going to drink, if it's an all-ages show or if it's only older people. There's a wide variety of factors like the time of the year, so it's really like every night is different. There's no like 'crowds in Berlin are always like this' or 'crowds in Sydney are always like this.' It changes from show to show.
SC: Your latest album, Calling off the Dogs, is a concept album. What prompted you to do a concept album?
RP: Well, I wrote 'Blood from a Stone' which is the final song on the album and it's about the end of a relationship– the final interaction between two people. And then I had 'Lick My Wounds' which is about the first instant that you see someone, like that moment where it's all possibility. You look across the room and before you say a word, before you know anything about the person, you just see them and you're like what's going to happen now? And then in the same period I had 'Silver Spoon' which is kind of about a nebulous period in the middle. And I got to thinking. I was like well, what if I try to tell this story? You know, write a linear narrative that follows people from the first moment they see each other, through falling in love and then falling out of love, and then it ends with their last interaction; what would that be like? And so, it was an interesting challenge to take on.
SC: How did you come up with the title, Calling Off The Dogs?
RP: Within the song 'Silver Spoon' there is a line that says "When they're calling off the dogs and you're sleeping on the lawn, will your heart desert me?" and usually what I do when I'm going to title an album is I write down all the titles from the songs, and then I listen through the album and I pick out lyrics and things that are within the songs and I'm like 'eh, maybe this, maybe this, maybe this…' and then I'll also write down ideas that come to me as I go through. Usually I do that once or twice and see what I come up with. For this record I wanted the title to feel really unique and kind of distinctive because the record feels very unique to me. It's a very kind of distinctive thing so that's why I picked Calling Off The Dogs.
SC: What would you say is most different about this album compared to what you've done before, besides the fact that it is a concept album?
RP: Kind of everything. From a compositional standpoint, from the very beginning it's very different because for many years what I was trying to was write the most straightforward and simple things that I could do. And with this record, whatever the most simple or straightforward thing was –whatever was like 'oh, I would do this' –when that came to mind, I did something else. Every single time. So, from a compositional place it comes from a different universe than I usually write in. There are songs with movements like classical pieces, mixed meter and key changes, and all kinds of crazy curveballs within the composition.
From a production standpoint, I'm doing all kinds of things that I would have never put in my records before. I kind of tried to create a really new, really distinctive palate for this. So you'll hear thumping hip-hop-esque kind of low end in some of these things, like an 808s & Heartbreak kind of thing. And then you'll hear choirs, orchestral arrangements, there are horns and woodwinds, strings and a big rock band with crazy guitars going on kind of sonic experiments and soundscape stuff like rain, people laughing, birds flying, and things like that. There are all kinds of crazy stuff happening within the production as well. So really, it's kind of everything; it's the fact that I treated it as one long composition. It's a 47 minute concept album rather than individual three to five minute songs telling individual stories this is one 47 minute linear narrative.
SC: What about the album artwork; where did that come from?
RP: Abbey Ley, who is this incredible graphic designer who has worked with us before, she did the packaging for Atlanta as well, she is just really, really interesting and comes up with the best stuff. Abbey listened to the record and drew and painted and sent us a ton of ideas and then put it all together, she is a wizard.
SC: Do you have a favourite song on the album?
RP: In my mind it should be consumed as one thing. So, I don't really think about it like that. In terms of playing them live, I've been really enjoying playing 'New Friends' recently and that has been fun. In terms of listening to it though, I would say I really think of it as one thing –I mean, you don't sit around and listen to your own albums– I don't, I guess some people do… I'm sure they must. But I feel like if I were going to listen to something like this I would want to listen to the whole record.
SC: Was there any part of the album that was more difficult to write?
RP: Every single aspect of making this record was so hard. Every part of it. Because at first, I started writing without intention and so I began with some exercises; Like, I had always wanted to write a song using falsetto, where I sang in falsetto the entire time, because I love Richard Manuel from the Band and he did that sometimes. I kind of developed my falsetto because I was such a big fan of his I thought that would be me, as a kid. That, and the Temptations and some of that stuff to sing along you learn to use falsetto. So I wrote 'Blood From a Stone' and then I had always wanted to write a song with movements like a classical piece, but that still felt like a cohesive pop rock sort of thing so I wrote 'Silver Spoon.' And then 'Lick My Wounds' is an example of us working in mixed meter. For a while I was just like 'oh, this is an idea, that's an idea,' just kind of messing around. Once I got down to the business of 'I want to write this concept album,' you're not just trying to write songs that you like or songs that you think are good, or compelling, you also need to write something that has a place within the narrative.
I wrote more than 50 songs for this record; it was just an incredibly arduous process. For every song that you hear there is probably three or four other songs that sound something like it that I wrote as I was fiddling with the idea of 'how do I get to what this is?' and, 'this thing that I want to execute, how do I execute it?' In the studio I would try to create something with no reference –there's no reference to what I wanted to do. I didn't have a reference where I could say 'oh, it's going to sound like this record' like, 'let's make it sound like Led Zepplin IV, or the Haim record, or 808s & Heartbreak, or whatever.' It was like 'let's take a piece of this, and a piece of this, and a piece of this, I like this, let's do this,' but there was no 'oh, listen to this song it will sound kind of like this.' There was none of that. So that was incredibly hard, and we were in the studio working on it some days banging our heads against the wall like how are we going to make this work? How are we going to make this come together?
I am blown away that it came out well and that it sounds good because there were periods in the midst of this where I was like this might be a really big mistake. It came out to be something that I really love and am incredibly proud of but I didn't know when I started that it would be like that.
SC: Do you prefer performing live or playing in a studio?
RP: I love to play live because you get to interact with the audience; that's really cool. I love releasing records. Making records is hard, it's an arduous process it takes a long time and it is challenging. But releasing records is fun because you get to see how people react to the music. You're creating it in a bubble, you're in a vacuum. Your fans aren't there to hear what you're doing. So, it is interesting to hear what people think when the music comes out.
SC: Your first big solo hit ('A Drop In The Ocean' 2008) has a lot to do with YouTube. How important would you say social media is to musicians now?
RP: For me I think all facets of social media were kind of involved in my career. It has been incredibly valuable because, to some extent, it democratised a lot of things that maybe weren't so democratic before within the music industry. People will find a recording like that, like 'A Drop In The Ocean,' people took ownership there like 'I love this song; I'm going to share it with my friends.' And 'One Grain of Sand' is a really interesting example of this because it has had no television placements ever… like nothing else happened except for one person told their two friends, those two friends each told two friends, and so on until it just sort of snowballed into this giant thing. I think that for me the internet has been an incredible tool. I was kind of beginning my process as a recording artist right as all of these things were kind of starting, like social media and stuff like that, and so it was really cool to be involved in that from the beginning.
SC: Are you working on anything new at the moment?
RP: I'm working on trying to stay alive on the road. Carl (Ron's cousin and tour manager) and I have been doing yoga, going running… I have been writing a little bit so there should be something…before I die there will be another record… Hopefully.
SC: Do you think you'll do another concept album?
RP: You never know, a concept will have to come to me.
SC: So, you're open to the idea? It hasn't been that traumatic of an experience?
RP: It was really hard but it's cool, I'm proud of the record. Maybe, you never know.
SC: Just one last question, is there anywhere on the tour that you're really looking forward to seeing?
RP: You know, honestly and this is no joke, I generally don't know where we're going. I've been on tour constantly so I'm really kind of like, I sort of know… I know we're going to Germany. I think the show I'm most excited for; we have a run coming up in the fall in America and so I'm going to play at Music Midtown in Atlanta which is the festival that I grew up going to as a fan, like I saw Bob Dylan there, and I'm playing that in September. It's kind of like a crazy full circle thing which I'm really excited about.
SC: I think that's it for now, thank you for chatting with us!
RP: Thank you!


Building a PC can often be intimidating if you haven't done it before. PC gaming in general can be intimidating if you're a lifelong console gamer and you don't know what you're getting into. Fortunately, we here at The Great Setup are here to answer all of the questions you might have about PC building and PC gaming. Keep reading for our collection of 15 common questions about building a PC.
Does PC gaming cost more than console gaming?
It can, but it doesn't have to. In terms of hardware, you generally pay the same amount, if not slightly more-or-less for console-parity performance, depending on where the consoles are in their generations. Late in a console generation, spending less for equal or higher performance is much more common. Early in one, spending the same or slightly more is- the Xbox One X, for instance, is a tough value contender right now.
However, you can save a lot of money elsewhere in PC gaming. While the hardware can cost the same, or more if you opt for high-end hardware, the games are much cheaper. There are multiple storefronts on PC constantly running sales that allow you to get AAA titles for way under $60. You also save on online multiplayer, which we'll address below.
Do I have to build my own PC?
It's a fun time, but you don't have to. If you aren't comfortable doing it yourself, find a local PC hardware shop to do it for you. They'll usually be eager to help out.
How much does it cost to build a gaming PC?
Depends on your needs and your budget! It can cost anywhere from $300 to $2000, and many people like to occupy a happy in-between at around $500-$700. Whether you're on a budget and pinching pennies or a big shot who wants the best of the best, PC gaming is there for you. Check out our How to Build a Gaming PC guide for a more detailed breakdown on pricing tiers.
For your first time, it can be as long as two-three hours. With help or experience, it shouldn't ever take longer than one hour, especially once you really know what you're doing. If you take time to prep beforehand by watching videos and reading your manuals, you can shorten the process significantly.
How hard is it to build a gaming PC?
Not too hard. If you follow the instructions and are building in a safe environment, it's pretty hard to screw up: everything has a set place. You won't accidentally plug your GPU into your CPU slot, for instance. If you're ever in doubt when building, consult your motherboard manual and the manual for the part that you're attempting to install. This will usually clear up any confusion and help you finish up.
Almost no tools are actually necessary in most builds, but a screwdriver will be a necessity for standoff screws and mounting other components, like your cooler or your drives. Your case will often come with thumbscrews to make installing expansion cards easier, as well.
For a safer building experience, you can optionally invest in tools like an anti-static mat or an anti-static wristband to protect your components from static shock while you're handling and installing them. ESD damage to components doesn't happen often, but it is likely enough for us to encourage caution when building.
Do I have to buy Windows?
Windows will provide the best all-around compatibility and support, but you can use Linux if you want. Linux can provide a great gaming experience, and is always getting more and more support. If you opt to save money by going for Linux, we recommend Linux Mint.
Do I have to buy an anti-static wrist strap and mat?
You don't, but they make the building process much easier and safer. Used properly, these will prevent you from accidentally shocking your components entirely.
Do I need to buy a disc drive?
Unless there's something you need it for, no. Most users only use their disc drive once: when installing Windows. If you have another PC and a USB stick on hand, however, you can create a USB Windows installer that you can use instead, saving you the trouble of installing a disc drive that you're only going to use once. If you ever need one later, you can always buy one.
Should I buy extra case fans?
If you want. We recommend at least having a case intake and exhaust fan. If you have both of those things, you should be fine- feel free to add more intake and exhaust fans as you please to lower your case temps.
Do I need to buy all my parts at once?
Not at all. Many people space out their purchases over time, and you may even be able to assemble your PC before acquiring certain components. For instance, if you have every part of your PC except a graphics card, you may be able to run your PC off of your processor's integrated graphics until you can afford to buy a GPU. This is a great way to get your hands on a new device, quicker, while saving anywhere from $100-$400 on your eventual GPU upgrade.
What parts do I need for building a PC?
What do I need to overclock?
A compatible motherboard and a compatible CPU. Intel "K" series CPUs are overclockable, as are all AMD CPUs. Older AMD motherboards will all support overclocking, but Ryzen and Intel-K CPUs will require certain motherboard chipsets to allow overclocking. Be sure to check before buying your motherboard if this is a feature you need.
In theory, everything, but you'll probably want to call Microsoft when replacing multiple components at once or your motherboard to ensure that you get to keep your Windows license.
Do I need a liquid cooler?
These are recommended for overclocking, but no. There's many great air coolers on the market that can perform similarly, but will be louder due to the presence of fans and have large heatsinks. Liquid coolers also require a bit more work when it comes to long-term maintenance, so if you're new to PC building it may be best to stick with air.
Where to buy a gaming PC?
Tons of places. Prebuilt providers like iBuyPower, your local Best Buy, Amazon...or, better than all of the above, buying components yourself and building a PC of your own. And if you don't know what to look for, we have more good news: we have you covered. Just head over to our Builds and we'll help find the right build for you.

In our detailed guide to building a gaming PC, we cover every last step of the building process, from picking out your build, to actually building, to installing everything on your new PC.

You completed various nice points there. I did a search on the topic and found the majority of people will go along with with your blog.
Is there such a thing as having too big of a power supply? Building my first desktop and I went onto a power supply calculator, and everything I have is only pumping about 470 watts, can I have a 750 watt ps? or will it bog my system?
I know this is super late but The wattage doesn't matter but you will want to check the size specs of the PSU and make sure it fits. Generally the higher the wattage the longer the PSU will be.


H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. (born 22 August 1934 – deceased 27 December 2012) was a United States Army general. While serving as Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command, he led all coalition forces in the Persian Gulf War. He is a national hero and was presented with several military honors for his successful campaigns. According to Wikipedia, Schwarzkopf preferred to lead from the front, even willing to risk his own life for his subordinates, thus developing a reputation as a strong commander. Schwarzkopf died in December of 2012 at age 78 of complications due to pneumonia.

REITs Set to Gain from Amazon HQ2 Decision
11/14/2018 | By Sarah Borchersen-Keto
REITs active in the office, multifamily, and retail sectors, including JBG SMITH (NYSE: JBGS), are expected to be among the main beneficiaries of Amazon's decision to locate two new headquarters in Northern Virginia and Long Island City, New York.
Amazon said Nov. 13 that it will invest $5 billion and create more than 50,000 jobs across the two new headquarters locations. It has also selected Nashville for a new Center of Excellence for its operations business.
JBG SMITH, an owner and developer of mixed-use properties in the Washington, D.C. region, said it has been chosen by Amazon to house and develop the Northern Virginia site at National Landing, a newly-defined, walkable neighborhood encompassing Crystal City, the eastern portion of Pentagon City, and the northern portion of Potomac Yard.
Matt Kelly, CEO of JBG SMITH, said the company expects Amazon's arrival to "lead to the healthy diversification of the local economy and catalyze the development of a technology ecosystem that has long searched for its footing in the D.C. region."
Jeffrey Langbaum, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, noted that JBG SMITH was already in the process of remaking the National Landing submarket. Doing it in conjunction with Amazon "makes a tremendous amount of sense."
JBG SMITH noted that it has been working since mid-2017 on a comprehensive plan to reposition National Landing through the delivery of new residential and office development, locally sourced amenity retail, and improvements to outdoor landscape.
Sandler O'Neill + Partners managing director Alexander Goldfarb noted that "it's hard to imagine a better scenario" for JBG SMITH, given that the REIT was spun-off from Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) in 2017 in part due to the challenges Vornado faced in Crystal City following the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). "Backfilling that space was a huge challenge and they were trying to be as creative as they could to try and stoke demand," he said.
Green Street Advisors analyst Danny Ismail agreed that the Crystal City office market has struggled for years, plagued by high vacancies and low rent growth. He pointed out that the technology sector has been a main driver of office fundamentals across the country, so "when you get someone like Amazon in there, with the ability to pull in other tenants, as well as the space that Amazon is directly consuming, it really has the potential to turn a submarket around." While it's still early innings for both Northern Virginia and Long Island City, "there's the distinct possibility that it could change the landscape of office fundamentals in those regions," he added.
MULTIFAMILY, RETAIL REITS IN LINE TO BENEFIT
JBG SMITH isn't the only REIT set to gain from the Amazon decision. Langbaum said apartment REITs including AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB), Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR), Camden Property Trust (NYSE:CPT), MAA (NYSE: MAA), and UDR, Inc. (NYSE: UDR) "come to mind immediately…they've all got assets in and around D.C. and Northern Virginia that will benefit from increased demand as 25,000 new employees flood the marketplace over an extended period of time."
For its part, Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM) noted that its Pentagon Centre mixed-used redevelopment is "extremely well-positioned" to capitalize on the anticipated economic growth expected in the area. Phase 1 of the project, which includes 440 luxury apartment units and 7,000 square feet of retail, is scheduled for completion next year.
Langbaum noted, meanwhile, that between the Amazon headquarters in Long Island City and Google's announcement that it will double its employee base in Manhattan, New York is clearly being cemented as a technology center. "That probably has a bigger overall influence on the real estate market than just the one specific move from Amazon."
Goldfarb added that a knock-on effect of the Long Island City location will be to make midtown Manhattan a more attractive market, since it is only two subway stops away. Furthermore, the decision by JP Morgan Chase to build a new headquarters at its 270 Park Avenue site will also boost the midtown market for office REITs including Boston Properties (NYSE: BXP), he pointed out.

Take a plate, add paneer, mawa, half amount of corn flour and black pepper and mix all ingredients until you get soft dough. Mixture for making kofta balls is ready.
Make 7-8 pieces of one cashew nut, remove the stalk of raisins and clean with a cloth. Peel cardamoms and make powder. Mix all these ingredients. Stuffing for kofta balls is ready.
Take little amount of mixture (lemon size) and make round shape. Flatten it, make a dent in center and place 3-4 pieces of cashew nuts and 2 raisins. Seal it from all sides nicely so that they do not splatter while frying. Give it a round shape. Coat the ball with corn flour nicely and place on the plate. Like wise prepare all balls.
Heat oil in a pan. Make sure the oil doesn't get heated up or is too cool. In medium hot oil place 2-3 balls. Cook until they get light brown color. Fry all balls like wise. Now let's make gravy.
Firstly make paste of cashew nuts and muskmelon seeds. Before making paste soak cashew nuts and muskmelon seeds in warm water for ½ hour or in normal water for 2 hours then finely grind the soaked cashew nuts and muskmelon seeds.
Grind all spices. Take brown cardamom peel it and use its seeds, black pepper, clove and cinnamon stick and grind them coarsely.
Preheat a pan and heat oil. Add cumin seeds, grinned spices, ginger and red chilly. Also add cashew nuts and muskmelon paste in the pan. Cook until oil starts separating from the masala. Now add cream and cook until oil separates from the masala again.
Add coriander powder, red chilly powder and curd. Mix all ingredients well and cook until it starts boiling. Masala is ready. Now as per your desire add water or add 1-1.5 cup of water. Stir continuously until the gravy starts boiling. Add salt, sugar, butter and green coriander and cook for 2 minutes more. Gravy is ready. Before serving add kofta balls in gravy 2 minutes before and cover it. Serve malai kofta curry with chapatti, naan, parantha or puri.
It can also be served in different way. Keep gravy and kofta balls separately. Take two kofta balls in a bowl and pour two tbsp of gravy on top, garnish with coriander leaves and now serve.
If don't like the bitterness in the gravy then use milk instead of curd. Add milk with normal temperature in the gravy and stir continuously.
If you like eating onion in gravy, boil 2 diced onions. Place in boiling water and boil for 3-4 minutes. Make paste of onions. After adding cumin seeds and garam masala, add onion paste and cook until it gets pinkish color. Add all spices in the similar manner and make your gravy.
