Treasure at Tampines was formerly known as Tampines Court. It was completed in the year 1984 under Housing and Urban Development. This flat was built to serve the growing demand of middle-income earners back in early days offering Singaporean who could not afford private properties and ineligible for HDB flats. HUDC flats yielded for privatization aiming mainly for Enbloc opportunity.
Treasure at Tampines occupied a sprawling huge land size of approximately 648,880 sqft. This land was originally 702,164 sqft and about 7% of the land, downsizing of 53,284 square feet and was used to build slip road to cater for the increasing number of units from 560 units to 2,203 units. This road improvement was necessary due to the increase of density from dwelling units.
Treasure at Tampines was purchased for $970 million ($676 ppr), higher than the asking price of $952 million. This was their third attempts and owner was expected to receive $1.71 million to $1.75 million depending on the size of the unit. Sim Lian Holdings Limited, other than the sale price, they were required to make another two payment to the state – one for increasing the intensity of the site to a gross ratio of 2.8 to maximum the gross floor area to land area ratio. The other payment was to put back the lease to 99 years from the original 69 years. These two sums worked out to about $359 million. Treasure At Tampines price list here.

Court of Appeal of California, First District, Division One
In Minnich v. Minnich, 127 Cal.App. 1, 5 [ 15 P.2d 804], it is stated: "The defense of res judicata was alleged in the answer to the complaint in appellant's action for separate maintenance, but upon her motion was stricken therefrom.
Summary of this case from Titensor v. Titensor
See 1 Summary
Docket No. 8687.
APPEALS from judgments of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Myron Westover, Judge. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
James Donovan for Appellant.
Hulme, Hastings Bartlett, William N. Himrod, and Gerald Bridges for Respondent.
THE COURT.
Gladys R. Minnich, the appellant in the above actions, is the wife of respondent, Jesse C. Minnich. On November 19, 1928, she filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County an action for divorce from respondent on the ground of cruelty. This action was numbered D70334 and will be hereinafter referred to as the first action. She also asked for a division of the community property of the parties. Respondent answered, denying the allegations of cruelty and the existence of any community property, and at the same time filed a cross-complaint for a divorce on the ground of cruelty, and also prayed for a decree quieting his title to certain property described in his complaint which he alleged was his separate property. Appellant by her answer traversed the issues raised by the cross-complaint.
The action was tried, and the court found that the conduct of neither party constituted cruelty to the other; it determined that neither be granted relief on the issue of divorce, and further adjudged "that neither party herein do have or recover anything as against the other with reference to any issue raised by any pleading herein as to property rights, without prejudice to the right of said parties or either of them to litigate any or all such matters in another action or actions". This judgment was entered on November 26, 1929, and no appeal was taken therefrom.
On April 12, 1930, appellant instituted in the same court one of the actions in which this appeal was taken, being action numbered D84241. This was an action for separate maintenance on the ground of cruelty. In her complaint she described portions of the property mentioned in her first action; alleged the same to be community property and sought a division thereof. Respondent denied the allegations of this complaint, and at the same time filed a separate suit, numbered D84562, for a divorce from appellant on the ground of desertion. In his complaint respondent alleged the property mentioned to be his separate property. Following the filing of her action appellant obtained an order requiring respondent to pay the sum of $80 each month as temporary alimony. The two actions were by stipulation tried together. The trial resulted in the entry of an interlocutory decree by which it was adjudged that the respondent should be granted a divorce; that the real and personal property described in the pleadings was his separate property, and that appellant take nothing by her action for separate maintenance except that she recover judgment for $500 attorney's fees, and costs.
A motion for a new trial was made in each case and denied, and appeals were taken from the judgments.
[1] In action No. D84562 the court found "that all and singular the allegations of the complaint herein are true". It is appellant's view that this finding is insufficient; but findings in this form have been upheld in numerous cases, and the same is true of a finding that the denials of an answer are untrue (24 Cal. Jur., Trial, sec. 214, and cases there cited).
Appellant cites Turner v. Turner, 187 Cal. 632 [ 203 P. 109], and Holt Manufacturing Co. v. Collins, 154 Cal. 276 [ 97 P. 516], where it was held that a finding of the truth of all the material allegations of a pleading was insufficient, and this for the reason that it could not be ascertained what averments were deemed material by the trial court. This defect is not found in the case at bar.
[2] In addition to her denials appellant pleaded matters in recrimination, and the court found specifically that these allegations were untrue. The court also found that certain averments of acts of cruelty by respondent, which were alleged by way of recrimination, had been adjudicated against appellant in the first action, the judgment in which had become final. The evidence supports this finding as well as specific findings against other acts of cruelty alleged by appellant. There was, as she contends, testimony supporting her allegations, but the credibility of her witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony were questions for the trial court (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 1847), and its conclusions cannot be disturbed.
It is also urged that the finding that appellant deserted respondent is unsupported and that the judgment in the first action was not a final adjudication of the facts therein alleged, for the reason that relief was denied to both parties.
[3] It is the rule that a divorce cannot be granted on the uncorroborated admission or testimony of the parties (Civ. Code, sec. 130); but it has been held that the principal object of the rule requiring corroboration is to prevent collusion; and where it is clear that there was no collusion, and defendant's testimony although conflicting with that of the plaintiff in many details, in the more important matters was corroborative of plaintiff's testimony, which was also corroborated in certain respects by other testimony, the evidence is sufficient ( Smith v. Smith, 119 Cal. 183 [ 48 P. 730, 51 P. 183]; Andrews v. Andrews, 120 Cal. 184 [ 52 P. 298]; McMullin v. McMullin, 140 Cal. 112, 119 [ 73 P. 808]). So the fact that defendant has vigorously contested the suit dispels any idea of collusion ( Hill v. Hill, 106 Cal.App. 309 [ 289 P. 227]). Such was the case here; and without reviewing the voluminous record it will be sufficient to say that the corroborated testimony fairly supports the finding.
[4] The defense of res judicata was alleged in the answer to the complaint in appellant's action for separate maintenance, but upon her motion was stricken therefrom. The former judgment was, however, admitted in evidence in respondent's action for divorce on the ground of desertion. Appellant had denied the alleged desertion, and averred acts of cruelty by respondent as justification for leaving him. The alleged acts occurred before the entry of the judgment mentioned which determined these allegations to be untrue. Such an adjudication was conclusive between the parties when the same facts came again in issue although the same was not pleaded ( Wixon v. Devine, 67 Cal. 341 [ 7 P. 776]; Estate of Clark, 190 Cal. 354 [ 212 P. 622]; Civille v. Civille, 22 Cal.App. 707 [ 136 P. 503]; Stansbury v. Frazer, 46 Cal.App. 485 [ 189 P. 495]; Glockner v. Palace Amusement Co., 47 Cal.App. 597 [ 191 P. 46]; Sallee v. Sallee, 63 Cal.App. 54 [ 218 P. 69]). [5] Moreover, the judgment was admitted in evidence by stipulation between the parties; and having been admitted the court might consider it for any purpose for which it was competent and relevant ( Sears v. Starbird, 78 Cal. 225 [ 20 P. 547]).
Appellant further complains that she was prejudiced by the order of proof followed by the trial court, and that she was not given an opportunity to present evidence on the issues respecting the character of the property described in the pleadings.
[6] It appears to have been agreed between counsel at the trial that while the two actions were to be tried together the divorce action should be heard first. However, as is not unusual in such cases this order was not followed strictly, and in this course appellant's counsel appears to have acquiesced — at least there was no objection made by him. In the regulation of trials the court has a large discretion, and unless the same be abused its course is not ground for reversal (2 Cal. Jur., Appeal and Error, sec. 352, p. 902; 24 Cal. Jur., Trial, sec. 45, p. 764). Here neither abuse of discretion nor prejudice has been shown. Moreover, appellant's counsel stipulated at the trial that the evidence introduced upon the issues presented in the divorce action should be considered in the action for separate maintenance, it being stated in effect that if respondent as plaintiff in the divorce action established grounds for the same, and appellant's defense by way of recrimination — which was based upon alleged acts of cruelty by respondent — was found against her, the court was bound to deny her prayer for separate maintenance. It is clear from the statements of her counsel at the close of the hearing that all her evidence in support of this complaint was adduced at the trial. This being true, the court, in view of its conclusions as to the effect of the evidence, could not, under the following cases, in which the facts were similar, do otherwise than deny a decree for separate maintenance: Volkmar v. Volkmar, 147 Cal. 175 [ 81 P. 413]; Kessler v. Kessler, 2 Cal.App. 509 [ 83 P. 257]; Tayian v. Tayian, 64 Cal.App. 632 [ 222 P. 377].
Appellant insists, however, that she was denied the right to present evidence showing the property described in the pleadings to be community property.
At the close of the trial the court asked if the parties were ready to submit the matter, to which appellant's counsel replied, "We understand, your Honor, this is on the merits of the divorce action. We haven't gone into the property matters. I believe that was your Honor's desire, wasn't it, to go into the merits of the case before we proceed with the property matters? The Court: I don't think there is anything to proceed on other than we have been over. The decree will be for the husband in the divorce action, and against the wife and for the husband in both actions." The parties were married on November 5, 1919, in Ohio, where they were residing. [7] It is undisputed that respondent then owned separate property, both real and personal, of the approximate value of $75,000. Later the larger part of the property was sold and the proceeds brought to California. Respondent testified that several parcels of real property situated in California were purchased with money from this fund, and title to the same taken in the name of the spouses as joint tenants, and the deeds in evidence so show. It appears that these properties were subsequently sold or exchanged and other property acquired, title to which was taken in respondent's name. Appellant claimed an interest in this property, alleging it to be community property. In Siberell v. Siberell, 214 Cal. 767 [ 7 P.2d 1003], certain real property was purchased with community funds and deeded to a husband and wife as joint tenants. It was held that the taking of the title thereto in the names of the spouses as joint tenants was an expression on the face of the conveyance of the intention not to hold the property thereafter as community property but in joint tenancy, and that the equal interest of the spouses should thereafter be classed as their separate but joint estate in the property. The same conclusion would be supported where, as here, the property was purchased with the separate funds of one of the spouses. In such case, however, except where there is a written agreement between the spouses creating the joint estate, the true intention may be shown by parol ( Estate of Gurnsey, 177 Cal. 211 [ 170 P. 402]; Parsons v. Robinson, 206 Cal. 378 [ 274 P. 528]; Siberell v. Siberell, supra; Ives v. Connacher, 162 Cal. 174 [ 121 P. 394]; Crowley v. Savings Union etc. Co., 30 Cal.App. 144 [ 157 P. 516]; Potter v. Smith, 48 Cal.App. 162 [ 191 P. 1023]; Vandervort v. Godfrey, 58 Cal.App. 578 [ 208 P. 1017]; Conneally v. San Francisco Sav. Loan Soc., 70 Cal.App. 180 [ 232 P. 755]; Estate of Nelson, 104 Cal.App. 613 [ 286 P. 439]), and such evidence has been held admissible in cases where the transfer was from the husband to the wife. ( Estate of Bruggemeyer, 115 Cal.App. 525 [ 2 P.2d 534]; Osborn v. Mills, 20 Cal.App. 346 [ 128 P. 1009].)
[8] In the case at bar while it appears that the property held in joint tenancy was sold, and other property acquired in the name of the husband, nevertheless it is the rule that property does not lose its character as separate or community property by a change in form or identity ( Estate of Brady, 171 Cal. 1 [ 151 P. 275]; Estate of Jolly, 196 Cal. 547 [ 238 P. 353]; Simonton v. Los Angeles Trust etc. Bank, 205 Cal. 252 [ 270 P. 672]); and if it was respondent's intention — which the deeds indicated — to make a gift to his wife of an interest in the property, this interest was not lost by reason of its exchange or sale, notwithstanding the title acquired as the result thereof was taken in respondent's name. ( Estate of Bruggemeyer, supra.) Moreover, the latter fact raised a presumption that the property acquired was community property (Civ. Code, sec. 164; Estate of Nickson, 187 Cal. 603 [ 203 P. 106]), and placed the burden of proving the contrary on respondent. ( Estate of Fellows, 106 Cal.App. 681 [ 289 P. 887].)
[9] Respondent testified that the conveyances in joint tenancy were made for the convenient handling of the property, and that no gift to his wife was intended. However, appellant had an apparent interest by virtue of these conveyances. Whether she had more than this and afterward agreed to commute her interest into community property, it being alleged that the property subsequently acquired was of this character, were questions to be determined from evidence. The circumstances and presumption mentioned tended to support her claim; and in view of her allegations she should have been afforded an opportunity to adduce evidence on this issue. The divorce was granted on the ground of desertion; and if it appeared that any of the property was community in character she would, of course, be entitled to an equal division of such portion. (Civ. Code, sec. 146)
It will consequently be necessary to reverse the judgments appealed from in so far as they adjudge Jesse C. Minnich to be the sole owner of the property and that his wife has no interest therein. Accordingly, those portions of the judgments adjudging the property described in the pleadings to be the separate property of Jesse C. Minnich and that Gladys R. Minnich has no claim, right, title or interest therein and that she take no part thereof, are reversed, and the cause is remanded for a new trial on the question whether said property is separate or community property. The judgments in all other respects are affirmed.
And it is further ordered that appellant recover her costs on appeal.

What we have come to accept as the standard way we approach building and maintaining a website is riddled with systemic risk and is costing your business time, money and opportunity.
If you're looking for a quality, well-built site – you're probably looking at a few thousand dollars. This is a huge cost for small or medium sized business – it's hard to budget for, and it's hard to justify without knowing what kind of impact it will have on your business.
Not all traditional website projects go to plan and often go over budget. This can often stall, or even worse end a web development project – it can also lead to damaged relationships between you and your web agency.
Depending on how complex your website will be, you are looking at anywhere from 3 months to 6 months of development. If you're launching a new business – that's time that you're not making money with your website.
If your business changes throughout the course of the development and your web agency is working to a specific scope of work, it can often lead to additional, unbudgeted expenses. It can also further delay the delivery of your site. The traditional process is not flexible.
How do you know you will get the results that you want? With traditional web design, you don't. Hopefully the agency building your website has done all the research that they need, but all they can do is work with their best guesses. If they are wrong – or if they didn't even bother to do the research, then you can end up with a website that hurts your business for years.
When was the last time you updated your website? 1, 2, 5 years? More? Most websites never get any major updates after they launch. There may be some small minor edits, but for the most part they sit untouched for years, until something happens to force a redesign.
One of the main goals of Growth-Driven Design is to minimize the risks associated with getting your website live.
Growth-Driven Design has a different pricing structure than traditional web design. Rather than paying a large fee for a completed project – regardless of its actual value to your company – Growth-Driven Design starts with an initial fee – almost always less than a traditional website would cost, followed by a regular (monthly or quarterly) retainer. While it does cost more over time, you get better results and more value. It is also makes it easier to budget for.
Because you aren't paying for a final finished product, but rather for a process of continual improvement, we work on tasks that we can accomplish, and will have the biggest impact. If there isn't enough in the budget to complete it, we can always complete it the following cycle, or simply use some of the budget from the next cycle. If we find that this is a regular occurrence though, than we may need to renegotiate the retainer amount – however this won't come as a surprise, and it won't stall or kill your project.
Growth-Driven Design isn't about getting everything done all at once, it's about focusing on the core, and working to make small, and continual improvements. While you may not get a website that is as complete right away, it does get you online and getting results much faster.
Since we work with short iterations, we are better able to accommodate any changes. They simply get added to the list of what needs to get done, and they'll get completed at the next iteration. While it may delay some other tasks, these kind of changes is what Growth-Driven Design is all about.
Just like traditional design, we might not always get it right. The difference is that if something doesn't work, we can change it. You are never stuck with a website that doesn't perform. Since our focus is on results we will keep making changes until we are convinced that you have the best performing website possible – and then we'll try to improve it more.
New google update? No problem. New technological must have? Sure thing. The beauty of Growth-Driven Design is that you will always be ahead of your competition when it comes to online trends. While they wait for their next redesign to catch up, you're already there – and if that trend is a flop, they're stuck with it, you're not.
Growth-Driven Design has 4 stages per cycle. Plan, Develop, Learn and Transfer. In theory once a cycle is complete, you repeat it, however in practice it's not uncommon to have a few cycles going at the same time, as it can take time to get enough meaningful data to complete the learning stage.
In the planning stage we go over any previous Data, look at goals, get feedback and prioritize your wish list. At the goal of the planning stage is to create a list of tasks that we feel will give you the biggest impact, and get you closer to your goal.
This stage is fairly self-explanatory. It's where work on the completing all the tasks that where decided on in the planning stage.
Once the development is done and the changes are live (and enough time has passed for meaningful data to be collected) we take a look to see what impact those changes have had. Any guesses or questions we may have had in the planning stage will get validated and answered here. It'll also help inform decisions in the next planning stage.
In this stage we share any impactful findings we discovered in the learning stage with you and your team. This information can help improve and grow your business. Sometimes what we find out can have a big impact on your business – such as discovering new markets or shedding new insights into consumer behaviour.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a contagious disease of both animals and humans. It is caused by three specific types of bacteria that are part of the Mycobacterium group: Mycobacterium bovis, M. avium, and M. tuberculosis.
Bovine TB, caused by M. bovis, can be transmitted from livestock to humans and other animals. No other TB organism has as great a host range as bovine TB, which can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates. M. avium can affect all species of birds, as well as hogs and cattle. M. tuberculosis primarily affects humans but can also be transmitted to hogs, cattle, and dogs.
Bovine TB has affected animal and human health for many years. Once the most prevalent infectious disease of cattle and swine in the United States, bovine TB caused more losses among U.S. farm animals in the early part of this century than all other infectious diseases combined. Established in 1917, the Cooperative State-Federal Tuberculosis Eradication Program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's, or USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS, state animal health agencies, and U.S. livestock producers, has nearly eradicated bovine TB from the nation's livestock population. This disease's presence in humans has been reduced as a result of the eradication program, advances in sanitation and hygiene, the discovery of effective drugs, and pasteurization of milk.
Pennsylvania obtained Tuberculosis Free Status pursuant to our nation's tuberculosis eradication program in June, 2000. The department had been working very diligently to achieve this goal. Throughout the years, bovine tuberculosis has been a serious health threat for both cattle and people; and USDA is preparing for a concerted effort to eradicate TB from cattle herds in the United States. This TB Free status gained for Pennsylvania had a significant economic impact for our animal industry in both the domestic and international arenas. Currently, PA has 309 active bovine herds on the program, 102 accredited caprine herds, and 232 accredited cervid herds.
The number of accredited herds and sale/show tests has decreased due to Pennsylvania's TB free status and reduced testing requirements for animal movement. This results in significant savings to the industry. Total surveillance is estimated at close to 900,000 cattle tested per year, and PA-accredited veterinarians perform most of the TB testing.
The Division of Animal and Poultry Health develops test programs for regulating diseases such as tuberculosis. Disease control programs help prevent this disease and protect our animal agriculture. The Tuberculosis Program includes the Accredited Cattle and Goat Herd Programs and the Accredited, Qualified and Monitored Cervid Herd Programs.
The department evaluates health certificates for both interstate and intrastate movement to assure that animals in Pennsylvania are healthy and have met necessary health requirements.

■ By Rusty Strait / Senior Reporter
A hearty meal accompanied the heartfelt thanks to the valley's snowbirds and the contributions they provide to our economy and our youth at the recent Grandfathers For Golf banquet dinner at Golden Village Palms RV Resort Park in Hemet.
Who, I asked, are Grandfathers For Golf and what do they do other than swat a tiny white ball across acres of green (sometimes not so green) grass, seeking to find a small hole in the ground that is fondly referred to as the "tin cup?"
I went to someone who knows a great deal more about this particular nonprofit organization and what they're actually up to. I consulted with Linda Greilich, who manages the Golden Era Golf Course on the north side of our valley.
"This all began when a few grandfatherly golfers thought it would be nice to introduce some underprivileged school children to their sport — golf. There were perhaps four or five youngsters who showed up at Soboba Country Club for instructions which, at the time, were limited to chip shots and a putting green. Eventually that grew to more than 20 kids."
Since the Soboba Course is for-profit and Golden Era's course is nonprofit, Greilich invited the group to make her golf course their home. They accepted her offer and now enjoy their fifth year at Golden Era.
"We bring youth to the game," said Greilich. "Everyone involved in the project is a volunteer and currently we have 50 of them – we could not operate without them. The Grandfathers hold a weekly fundraiser on Thursdays to keep the money flowing. The major cost is busing the students in from all over the area."
The organization has grown and expanded to such an extent that it now includes Echo Hills Golf course, south of Hemet, to accommodate the schools in that area.
"Grandfathers For Golf now includes 500 kids and the tutoring has grown beyond chip and putt," says Greilich. "They are taught how to hold a club, to swing a club and so on until they know a full golf course and what to do there. It is amazing to see how they progress."
The volunteers are not just local duffers. Snowbirds from Canada have become an integral part of the program. They join with locals by donating golf clubs that have been cut down to size for each kid. In addition they supply balls, gloves — even golfing shoes.
Current club President Ernie Kerchmar said, "This dinner is to thank our friends from the snow country up north for being a part of us and for coming here every year and contributing to our economy and this great program for young and coming golfers. Brendan Steele, from Idyllwild, began his career as a part of our program."
Steele is currently ranked No. 56 in the world among professional golfers and is ranked in eighth place in the FedExCup and has earned more than $2 million in prize money in 2017.
Ernie and Linda both give credit to affable, former president, Tony Viola, for being there when the Grandfathers For Golf was getting off the ground. Tony, who chefs for Golden Era Golf Course, also prepared the juicy edibles at the snowbird recognition dinner.
Not to be overlooked, the renowned "Seniors on Stage," another not so hidden talent in the valley, serenaded us throughout the evening. Dancing was the order of the evening and Hemet's Mayor Linda Krupa sure knows how to swing a wicked dance step.
So much good comes out of our beautiful valley, yet some folks complain that nobody writes anything good about Hemet. This sounds like pretty good stuff to me. Just sayin'.

Play a round of golf while raising money for the kids
■ Staff Reports / Contributed
Grandfathers For Golf invites golfers of any skill level to play in its weekly Men's Club tourney to raise money to help teach kids the game of golf for free. Playing in the tournaments are a great way to have fun, meet a great group of guys and help fund a good cause, said Tony Viola, club past president.
Fees for the Thursday morning tournaments, held at Golden Era Golf Course, are $25 for 18 holes of golf with cart ($30 for first-time players), a continental breakfast and a full lunch. Tee off is between 7 and 8 a.m. No reservations needed – just show up and sign in. Handicaps are established after one tourney.
Tournament fees are tax deductible because Grandfathers For Golf is nonprofit.
Money raised goes directly toward paying for the costs related to the Grandfathers For Golf program, including equipment for the kids, busing from school districts and other expenses. None of the money is spent on salaries – everybody volunteers their time, said Viola.
The organization teaches an average of 200 kids per 8-week session on three golf courses in the Hemet-San Jacinto area. For more information, contact Viola at (909) 754-4148. Golden Era Golf Course is located at 19871 Gilman Springs Road in San Jacinto.

Burke wins delay in federal court trial
Keith Roysdon
MUNCIE, Ind. — A local business owner facing federal criminal charges has won a delay in his trial date in federal court.
Jeffrey Burke, owner of McGalliard Guns and More, was scheduled to go to trial in U.S. District Court in November, But his attorney, Ross G. Thomas, asked for a delay.
Burke faces charges of bank fraud, making false statements to an FBI agent and obstruction of grand jury proceedings.
Those charges were publicly revealed on Sept. 18, the day Burke and Tracy Barton, a Muncie Sanitary District official, were arrested by federal agents. The arrests came more than two years into an FBI and Department of Justice investigation into allegations of criminal wrongdoing in Muncie city government.
►Trial dates set for men facing federal charges
►Muncie official, businessman charged by feds
From 2016: Pay and partnerships link Muncie cop, gun dealer
U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Evans Barker accepted Thomas' argument that he didn't have sufficient time, between his client's arrest and his Nov. 5 trial date, to prepare his defense.
Barker vacated the November date and set Burke's trial for March 11.
Barker wrote in her order, "The failure to grant the continuance requested would deny the defendant reasonable time to effectively prepare for trial."
Burke's indictment said he fraudulently obtained a loan from an out-of-state bank to purchase, in 2015, a flea market building for $150,000, which he sold, just about a month later, to the Muncie Sanitary District for $395,000.
Burke "caused" the Muncie Sanitary District to buy the flea market property from him, federal authorities allege, made false statements to FBI agents and obstructed grand jury proceedings.

Our state winner needs our help to become a finalist.
It's that time again. The time when students all across the country submit their Google doodles in the hopes of being chosen as the new Google homepage. For those who are unfamiliar, the Google homepage is transformed quite often to commemorate different things. It could be the birthday of a legend like Albert Einstein, a major world event like the Olympics, or it could just be holiday theme like Fourth of July.
This doodle competition is called "Doodle for Google."
Finalists are chosen by a panel of judges for each state and region across different age groups. Each state and region is represented across the board and is eligible to be voted on, although not every state is represented in every age category. Then it's up to us to vote on our favorites to determine the five finalists (one from each age group).
Prizes are awarded to the National Winner, the National Finalists and to each State and Territory Winner. That means our Wyoming representative has already won some prizes. Aside from being featured in the gallery, our representative has received a celebratory message from Google, some Google hardware and some Google swag.
The national prize includes a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology package for their school.
You can see the artwork for our Wyoming state winner here and cast your vote. Our winner's piece is in the 4th-5th grade group and is titled "The Capabilities of Nature." Here's what they had to say about their piece.
My doodle is of some examples of nature that are magical to me, and in it I am lying in the grass, connecting with it. This represents "I am strong because" whenever I need a boost of mental strength, nature gives that to me.

"That was the best EMO show we have had. We achieved our main goal at the show, with a record for serious new enquiries by visitors from all over the world and we are extremely confident of converting a high proportion of these into significant new business" said 600 UK Sales Director Howard Bamforth. Machines on the 600 UK stand at EMO, included Colchester and Harrison's world famous conventional centre lathes, Alpha combination CNC lathes, and the new Tornado CNC production lathe. As in previous years, many orders were received directly at the stand including, at the show outset, the exhibited Alpha 1400XS manual / CNC lathe which was ordered by Norman Precision of Gloucester – adding another 600 UK machine tool to its existing trio of Harrison lathes. Making its debut at EMO 2013 was the all new Tornado T2M compact 3-axis turning centre, which has been designed to handle even smaller complex parts than previously, and is equipped with full C axis, spindle disc brake, and driven tooling to make radial and axial milling, drilling, boring, and tapping easier than ever. The T2M provides an even more robust manufacturing platform than its predecessor, ensuring greater accuracy and reliability than ever before. The new models incorporate the Fanuc OiTD control system, with Colchesters' unique bespoke Manual Guide i features, and its 100% conversational programming system. These features reduce the need for ISO programming knowledge, and ensure that this production lathe is one of the simplest CNC turning centres available in the market today. Additionally, the Tornado range now has a new Bar Production Package option for its CNC lathes. The Gripfast combination power chuck from Pratt Burnerd International (PBI) was also launched at EMO and proved to be a real winner with existing and prospective customers from many countries, with many placing orders at the show. This chuck comes into its own when used on production CNC turning centres for medium to small batch production, helping operators to increase productivity with minimal non-machining time. It is currently used, as standard, on Colchester Lathes' new Tornado CNC production turning centres, ensuring high speed, high accuracy turning, with rapid component changeover. Additionally, Gamet Bearings attracted many new international enquiries for its high-precision tapered roller bearings from some major machine tool manufacturers, particularly from their larger bearing ranges. 600 UK's Managing Director, Mike Berry, said "I have attended all EMO exhibitions since the early 1980s and this show was notable by the positive interest shown and number of actual order placements by both our distributors and end users in all 600 UK products." RELEASE ENDS Photo: 600 UK Sales Director with Kevin Norman of Norman Precision, Gloucester with their new Harrison Alpha 1400 XS manual / CNC lathe at EMO Hannover.

Researchers at MIT have found a way to detect early-stage malarial infection of blood cells by measuring changes in the infected cells' electrical properties.
The scientists, from the laboratories of MIT's Anantha Chandrakasan and Subra Suresh—who is now president of Carnegie Mellon University—have built an experimental microfluidic device that takes a drop of blood and streams it across an electrode that measures a signal differentiating infected cells from uninfected cells. The work, published Aug. 8 in the journal Lab on a Chip, is a first step toward a field-ready, low-cost, portable malaria-detection device.
"Ultimately the goal would be to create a postage stamp-sized device with integrated electronics that can detect if a person has malaria and at what stage," says Chandrakasan, the Joseph F. and Nancy P. Keithley Professor of Electrical Engineering and a principal investigator at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL), who specializes in developing low-power electronic devices. Similar diagnostics may be applicable to other infections and diseases.
When the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum infects a red blood cell, the cell becomes more magnetic and more rigid, properties that can be detected in a rapid-diagnostic device. But these changes are hard to detect before the parasite matures beyond the ring stage—its earliest stage, and the only stage found in circulating blood. At later stages of infection, the infected red blood cells adhere to small capillaries, blocking circulation and causing various symptoms, and even death in severe cases.
So the researchers decided to look into using electrical impedance as a diagnostic signal. Several types of infection, including malaria, alter a cell's impedance, a measure of electrical resistance across the cell membrane. Studies had already measured electrical changes in later-stage infected cells, but it wasn't clear that cells that had reached only the ring stage of infection would exhibit electrical changes.
To find out, first authors Sungjae Ha, a graduate student in the Chandrakasan lab, and Sarah Du, a postdoc in the Suresh lab (also known as the Nanomechanics Laboratory), built a microfluidic device capable of measuring the magnitude and phase of the electrical impedance of individual cells. The device is essentially a cell-counting device, similar in approach to other low-cost, portable devices being developed to diagnose illnesses such as HIV.
The challenge, however, involved optimizing the electronics to allow very accurate measurements of impedance for each cell as it passes by. The researchers had to minimize interfering electric signals from the substrate the blood flows over and prevent the cells from sticking to one another.
In tests of cells of four cell types—uninfected cells and infected cells at the ring, trophozoite and schizont stages—the device detected small differences in measures of magnitude and seemingly random differences in phase, but not quite enough to definitively differentiate among stages.
However, by mathematically combining the measures into an index called delta, the differences between uninfected cells and all three stages became clear. "It's much more significant," says corresponding author Ming Dao, a principal research scientist in the Nanomechanics Laboratory. "It's a more holistic approach. By using all of the information we can measure, we can detect the differentiating signals much more clearly."
"What's really cool about this device is that it can actually differentiate between uninfected red blood cells and circulating ring infected red blood cells even though the parasite is still very small at this stage and the host cells have hardly been modified," says Matthias Marti, an assistant professor of immunology and infectious diseases at the Harvard School of Public Health, who did not participate in the study.
Malaria is a curable disease, but diagnosis remains a challenge. This ability to discern the circulating parasite's stage from a drop of blood opens the possibility of building a device that could be used to rapidly diagnose malarial infection in places where laboratories and skilled medical personnel are scarce.
Traditionally, technicians detect malarial infection visually, by observing blood smears through a microscope. More recently, the World Health Organization has supported the use of rapid diagnostic tests that detect an antigen to the parasite in the blood. These tests provide results in about 15 minutes and do not require skilled technicians, so sick people can be diagnosed and treated on the spot.
But neither of these approaches is very sensitive, Marti says. "For a new device to be meaningful in the field, it would have to be more sensitive than these traditional approaches, as well as cheap and quick."
The collaborative MIT team of experts in microfluidics, circuit design, materials science and microbiology has designed their new cell-differentiating technology so that it can be packaged as a low-cost device, but more work needs to be done. "We are using our combined expertise to push the technology toward real-world applications," Dao says.
Since this new detection method can, for the first time, differentiate among the three major stages of Plasmodium falciparum's asexual development, Marti sees another potential application: The device may also be able to distinguish cells infected with the parasite at its transmission stage, the stage in which mosquitos can pick it up from humans and transmit it to other humans. "If we could use the device to detect malaria infection and the potential for transmission at the same time, that would make it even more interesting," Marti says.
The next steps for further development involve integrating this new technology into a small, low-cost package. "Our hope is that such technologies as those described in this work will ultimately help meet the need for a new generation of portable, disposable and inexpensive diagnostics for a variety of human diseases," Suresh says.
The team is also interested in using the device to investigate the electrical properties of other types of diseased cells to see if electrical impedance changes could be used for diagnostics.
The paper is titled "Electric impedance microflow cytometry for characterization of cell disease states."

This article measures scientific influence by means of citations to academic papers. The data source is the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI); the scientific institutions included are the top 110 U.S. research universities; the 12 main fields that classify the data cover nearly all of science; and the time period is 1981-1999. Altogether the database includes 2.4 million papers and 18.8 million citations. Thus the evidence underlying our findings accounts for much of the basic research conducted in the United States during the last quarter of the 20th century. This research in turn contributes a significant part of knowledge production in the U.S. during the same period.The citation measure used is the citation probability, which equals actual citations divided by potential citations, and captures average utilization of cited literature by individual citing articles. The mean citation probability within fields is on the order of 10-5. Cross-field citation probabilities are one-tenth to one-hundredth as large, or 10-6 to 10-7. Citations between pairs of citing and cited fields are significant in less than one-fourth of the possible cases. It follows that citations are largely bounded by field, with corresponding implications for the limits of scientific influence.Cross-field citation probabilities appear to be symmetric for mutually citing fields. Scientific influence is asymmetric within fields, and occurs primarily from top institutions to those less highly ranked. Still, there is significant reverse influence on higher-ranked schools. We also find that top institutions are more often cited by peer institutions than lower-ranked institutions are cited by their peers. Overall the results suggest that knowledge spillovers in basic science research are important, but are circumscribed by field and by intrinsic relevance. Perhaps the most important implication of the results are the limits that they seem to impose on the returns to scale in the knowledge production function for basic research, namely the proportion of available knowledge that spills over from one scientist to another.

Field of Enquiry II: Birds and Bees. And Beetles (let's not forget those)!
By Olga Bloemen on November 14, 2016 / Agriculture, Blog Posts, Climate change, Environment
If it had not been clear to our 35 participants at the start of the programme, there remained no doubt about not only the well-being of birds, bees and beetles as an important indicator of the general health of our ecosystems, but also their extremely important direct role in food production and its sustainability. Miesbeth Knottenbelt, Nourish member & volunteer, reports on the second session of the 2000m2 Field of Enquiry series at Whitmuir The Organic Place, on Saturday the 22nd of October.
Some of the depressing highlights were (as presented by Vicki Swales, Head of Land Use Policy, RSPB):
To foster a range of diverse neighbouring habitats that meets the needs of different bird species thriving side by side, we need to have different types of nesting sites, and reliable sources of summer and winter food (all three). The threats to this are clearly agricultural specialisation and intensification (with lots of disturbance) but also abandonment ("MAMBA: Miles And Miles of Bugger All!").This is of course worrying, since much farmland is being abandoned in Scotland due to economic pressures.
Scotland provides 40% of Europe's High Nature Value farmland! This is most of Scotland minus the intensively farmed East coast. There is a strong match between the geographical allocation of EU Common Agricultural Policy subsidies (allocated to 20% of all farmers, the large farms) and the location of Low Nature Value Farmland. The good news is that this trend can be reversed by changing our agricultural support policies (perhaps an unexpected benefit of Brexit?).
By Skype from Sussex, biologist and conservationist Dave Goulson gave us some astonishing stats about bumblebees: There are 270 species in the UK, which is in addition to the 20,000 or so other bee species. Each of these species is an important pollinator with different roles for different crops. Together 3/4 of our crops require pollinators, mostly bees. Yet, worryingly, the numbers of bees have drastically fallen since 1950s and really alarmingly since 2000 due to habitat loss (regardless of where you are across the world, intensive farming looks like the same flowerless desert), climate change, disease and pesticides. How so?
A Sussex study showed one farmer routinely using 20 types of different pesticides on one field as normal practice, 9 of which were harming bees. Money is now being spent on reversing trends (e.g. planting hedgerows) but with limited results as neonicotinoids which are a kind of insecticide widely introduced in seed dressing, have been building up in soil, root systems and water. In the EU, a moratorium was introduced for neonicotinoids in Dec 2013, but perversely, since then its use has increased in the UK, partly due to pesticide producers' marketing successes – a problem the scientific community does not know how to handle effectively.
Goulson's list of things we should lobby for are completely ban neonicotoids and similar chemicals (and take them off the shelf for domestic use), fund independent advisers for farmers, and redirect the funding that is currently given to large intensive farming to small-scale and sustainable farming.
Jenni Stockan, an entomologist at the James Hutton Institute, sketched a delightful picture about the life of beetles. E.g. did you know that beetles help with pest control (e.g. by eating slug eggs), help pollinate, and transport seeds? The common dung beetles also reduce parasites in cows, help with soil structure (tunnelling), increase soil nutrients, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7-13 % (by moving dung under the ground).
Sharp declines of beetles have been reported since 1984, again due to habitat loss as a result of mono- agriculture, but they remain stable in woodlands. A particularly worrying threat is worming tablets routinely given to cattle, which affects beetles' egg productivity and larvae mortality. Similar lobby recommendations were in Stockan's wish list: We need to reduce chemical input into agriculture without delay, provide undisturbed strips that allow bugs to move around, do mixed cropping, and create ground cover for shelter all year round.
Then, lastly, the sad story of the honey bee came from … a third generation bee keeper now working at the Edinburgh Zoo. Some striking points in this story: Viruses make it essential that all hives are treated, so there are no more wild swarms anywhere; the average age of beekeepers is 68, bees do so much better in urban environments, in fact he keeps several hives on top of the Balmoral Hotel (which had to be rescued when it swarmed onto Princes Street recently).
What emerged from these experts' materials were very worrying and now increasingly familiar patterns, and what's more, the grave extent of the decline (particularly in the last 20 years) of these creatures. The apparent invisibility of their importance in formal agricultural management, policy and macroeconomics is something we addressed implicitly today, and there was also no shortage of clear messages to be taken forward and lobby for.

Field of Enquiry I: Our Global and Local Field
Field of Enquiry III: The incredible story of bread


Our 500 hour programme is designed for beginners and qualified yoga teachers and provides the opportunity for participants to study with a senior teacher at the top of their field. Building gradually, and working with your busy schedule in life, start with a qualification of just 200 hours and grow as much as you like. Our flexible structure provides time and space for profound learning and growth, small group sizes and a supportive community of peers and tutors in beautiful Edinburgh.
Whatever way you choose, each module is content rich. We encourage the repetition of modules so you deepen your understanding and knowledge, as well as increase your ability to apply the information.
This training program provides a complete platform for those who are ready to teach, those who are already teaching, and those who want to gain more clarity into their life's purpose, cultivating harmony both within and without.
Lead trainer Dhugal Meachem's trainings are an eclectic, well-curated mix of earnest practice and uber-relevant yoga philosophy. It is an experiential and educational deep dive into yoga and its practice. What we know and what we live is what unites us all, wherever we go after.
The six modules build to a potential 500 hours (or more!), the highest Yoga Alliance qualification. According to Yoga Alliance requirements, you need 200 hours to begin to teach—but that's just the start. Yoga is a massively rich subject matter. We want you to know and want you to live more. You may start by doing either the two Hatha modules or the two Yin modules.
Whichever way you choose, each module is content rich. We encourage the repetition of modules so you deepen your understanding and knowledge, as well as increase your ability to apply the information.
Completing these modules will prepare you as a 200-hour and/or 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher under the Yoga Alliance system. Dhugal is keenly aware that so much study can become a financial burden to teachers and serious yogis, and so continuously endeavours to keep his fees reasonable (and payment methods flexible). This, however, does not compromise quality. Ever.
Dhugal himself has thousands of hours of training, and continues to study with his teachers on a regular basis.
This is where most (but not all) start. Start each day with a creative practice. Grow your asana and anatomy knowledge.
Anatomy is a large part of this module. We focus mainly on muscles, but also create a foundation for bone discussions. We dive deep into the complexity of yoga poses and the first yoga vinyasas (flows of poses). We also begin to find our teaching voices, and kick off an appreciation of Sanskrit.
Course attendees will discover incredible resolve, power, and potential within themselves. Dhugal's trainings are designed to open the door to an aspect of yourself you may not have met, or even be aware of.
Building on Hatha 1, we now explore the big visions of the ancient yogis through the lens of yoga philosophy. We appreciate how these teachings are still incredibly relevant in our modern world.
Based on our anatomy and philosophy know-how, we grow our teaching and practice skills. Most yoga teachers in the world stop here, at 200 hours. I want you to know more.
What Students Say: "Your classes are a safe place to learn. Everyone has their different insecurities when joining a class setting. My biggest takeaway messages were: teaching to keep my students safe, giving encouragement, building them from their foundations, building their strength, adjusting with your words, moving a class with your words, not pushing students into poses before they've mastered the original pose, and talking to your students to work them through their practice. At the end of the day, it's about the students and them feeling like you're with each one of them as they practice. You're guiding them through their practice and you can feel their effort, delight, and challenges as they work through each pose. I feel that I give this to my students, just like you gave this to us as we would practice in your class."
Whether or not you intend to teach Yin Yoga, the Yin program offers in-depth bones anatomy which is extremely relevant to any yoga teacher, no matter your chosen style. This module is all about bone shapes, or what we call variable anatomy. We all have the same bones (almost!) in our bodies, but we all have very different bone shapes...just look around you. This course trains your eye.
We believe that in order to teach or practice yoga (or any physical movement discipline) optimally, we must at least appreciate, and even master this understanding. This knowledge is fundamental to a Yin practice where poses are held for a longer period of time. We begin here with the legs and hips.
Yin 1 introduces longer meditation and mindfulness practices. Oh, and we do a lot of Yin Yoga. Many who say they didn't think they would like it end up loving it...just sayin'!
We complete our study of variable anatomy and turn to the study of fascia, body science's new frontier. We draw on the expertise of both Chinese medicine (which has become a leader in fascia) and modern science. The health of this tissue is the gateway to fine-tuning and mastering our physical, emotional, and logical health.
Throughout this module, we will investigate classical Taoist philosophy which, for thousands of years, gives ancient context to the practice of modern Yin. Having lived in Asia most of his life, Dhugal is uniquely equipped to guide study. Taoism's often humorous insights provide a zen-like backdrop to consider and reflect upon the pressures of life today.
We intentionally practice a variety of Yin yoga disciplines, as we believe there is no one right way to practice Yin. The aim in studying a wide variety of knowledge and application is to allow students to find styles and methodologies of teaching and practice to suit different students, their unique aims, and even times of year that are as distinct and special as each individual, leaving our teachers confident with such a broad education upon graduation.
The Vinyasa approach to yoga is wildly popular today. In this module we dive into multiple strategies and approaches for practicing Vinyasa yoga, all based around the art of sequencing. You'll learn to design varying levels of class and practice, as we continue to explore Indian myth and philosophy. Oh, and we will Vinyasa quite a lot!
What Students Say: "To me, you don't solve people's problems but instead you make them take responsibility for their own bodies and their emotional control. It helps people to keep or to get back their agency (self-efficacy) and to regulate themselves. I like this factor in particular, because it is the opposite of how guru-ism works. You are not turning us into blind sheep because only you have all the answer to our problems and questions, but rather force us to take responsibility which opens up a chance to find out more about one's own potential. You support this process by trying to be as objective as possible and giving us facts instead of opinions. You create a neutral space that isn't already filled with what is 'right' or 'wrong.' This is a rare thing nowadays"
Building on our 200-hour Yin program, this module explores advanced Yin yoga modalities. It is expected that students are increasingly comfortable in their bodies and minds, and able to (almost) self-practice.
Together, we explore and build upon the Five-Phase (or Element) theory of Chinese medicine. We'll also return to our philosophical studies, investigating the union between Indian Buddhism and Taoism, which gifted the world the mind-health treasure of Zen.
What Students Say: "The biggest takeaway I experience from your classes is a really holistic attitude towards yoga practice—you introduce aspects of philosophy and spirituality, as well as detailed knowledge of anatomy and muscular engagement. It feels like a very well-rounded practice: it's not all about sweating or all about meditation; there's a good balance of it all!
In total, the programme comprises a maximum of up to 500 hours of tuition, practice and study.
