PREFACE BY ELIZABETH DAY
The title of The Call, about a woman scientist who abandons her research work (in chemistry) to be a suffragette, has several meanings – military, feminist, vocational, emotional. Although the novel has been ignored for nearly a hundred years, it is an important, and extremely readable, book.
Like Despised and Rejected, PB No. 126, it starts slowly, almost cautiously, and takes 80 or 100 pages before then shocking the reader with its radicalism. Edith Zangwill (1874–1945) – her husband was the writer Israel Zangwill – chooses to begin with a leisurely and detailed trawl round a house in Lowndes Square, ending up in the heroine's 'lab of one's own' (the title of a recent book about women scientists). It is clear at once that the domestic detail is a crucial part of The Call.
The novel gets into its stride when Ursula accompanies her mother to Henley (it is the July of 1909), encounters some suffragettes – and is appalled by them. But some months later, by chance, she sits in on a court case involving a prostitute and her nine-year-old daughter who has been sexually assaulted by a client. The leniency of the three-month sentence compared with a twelve-month sentence for a man who has stolen a pair of boots horrifies her. She realises that 'it was the law that was insane, or rather the lawmakers... The suffragettes were right. There was some connection between such things and the Vote.'
Finally, in November 1910 (we have provided a Publisher's Timeline at the beginning of the book), she witnesses the police knocking down an elderly woman at a protest and 'nothing before had ever fired Ursula with such an irresistible passion for Women's Suffrage, with such a burning faith in the value of militancy.' But Ursula's devotion to the suffragette cause means that she must give up her research. She had been/is a chemist, who was good enough to be asked to give a paper at the British Association and used to spend her days at her workbench in her lab: the detailed descriptions of her working life are closely based on the life of Edith Zangwill's stepmother, Hertha Ayrton (1854–1923), a physicist who became an expert on the electric arc.
What changes things for Ursula is the war. She spends the first few months recovering from the trauma of imprisonment and the terrifying and abusive force-feeding (which is graphically described). Then, in 1915, she returns to her lab to work on a method of extinguishing the liquid fire used by the German troops – and thus helping the war effort (just as Hertha Ayrton had invented the 'Ayrton fan'); the last third of the novel is about Ursula's struggle to persuade the military to use her invention at the Front.
Sadly, novels about the war and about votes for women were largely ignored during the 1920s: the former was too raw and the latter 'too remote to be topical & too recent to be innocuous' (Edith Zangwill to a friend). Even the theme of a woman scientist in a man's world was rather remote for the average novel-reader. Yet, as Elizabeth Day writes: 'The Call gives a rare insight into a woman's domestic life in the first two decades of the 20th century ... domestic details about running a house are, most unusually, given their due alongside Ursula's political actions, elegantly making the point that a woman's work behind closed doors is just as worthy of our attention as what goes on in the wider world.' By making political points in the guise of a 'woman's novel', the author stunningly reveals her commitment to feminism.'

Exercise: A basic game in browser

Goal

    This exercise is inteded to assess a candidate's fundamental understanding of
    manipulating HTML DOM elements by utilizing JavaScript. As well as problem solving
    skill around how to strategize on a simple game.

Requirement

Any modern browser

Information

    Use whatever JavaScript libaray or framework as you like to help achieve the objective.
    This exercise is not meant for you to know everything about JavaScript. Rather it's
    a way for us to tell how a candidate approaches the problem and how to execute.

    This exercise is open book, use Google as you wish to find out reference. Questions are
    encouraged, there is no dumb question and you won't be count against the questions you ask.

Objective

By the end of the test, we should be able to render the game grid, draw images to it, and listen to user input and simulate basic gameplay. There are six milestones for this test that break down as so:

--Game Setup--

When the start game button is clicked, the grids should be rendered properly based on the input number. Once the grid is rendered, the start button should be disabled.

Place Python randomly on any cell

After the board has been rendered, add the ruby class to a random cell on the grid.

--Game Mechanics--

When a user presses an arrow key, we should move the python one tile in that direction if possible (not against a wall).

The user should see an alert when the python moves onto the same tile as the ruby notifying them of how many moves it took for them to catch the ruby.

If the user does not move onto a ruby tile, the turn should end with the ruby moving one tile in a direction away from the python (e.g. if the python is to a cell to the top right, move either to the left or down). Extra points are awarded for smarter movement strategies.

--Customization--

Before the game starts, a user should be able to use a custom image instead of the python image using the upload file button.

Olympus Announces Updated TG-6 Underwater Camera
Olympus has just recently announced its newest edition of the TG underwater series of cameras. While not a gigantic step up from its predecessor, it comes with enhanced features sure to grab interest to anyone interested in underwater photography.
Sold separately is a new fisheye (no pun intended) lens converter. This accessory will allow users the option of shooting circular or diagonal fisheye. When shooting circular fisheye, the entire circular image through the glass is shown compared to diagonal in which the camera processor stretches the image out to fit a frame, removing some of the distortion.
Example of circular fisheye image, taken with the TG-6
A similar image, but without the fisheye adapter.
The TG-6 camera touts it has updated its microscope mode (which is really just macro mode) which allows for up to 44X magnification. Whether or not any of the magnification in this mode is achieved by digital zoom (enlarging pixels vs optical zoom) is unclear to me. However, the camera includes a digital teleconverter which is purported to rely on optical zoom for its extra visual reach.
Just like shooting on land, lighting conditions underwater can be unpredictable. The f/2.0 aperture on this compact camera will make it easier to cope with murkier underwater scenes, or spots where light doesn't reach quite as well. It's waterproof for up to 50 feet, and while that's not quite "deep sea" diving territory, one could definitely get capture some interesting aquatic life with this range.
To read more about the TG-6's updated specs, you can follow this link.

Have you heard the one about a has-been MP and his fruity festival show?
Posted bystephenjdaisley	 August 14, 2017 August 14, 2017
1 Comment on Have you heard the one about a has-been MP and his fruity festival show?
It was roughly at the fifth S&M joke that I settled in and began to enjoy Alex Salmond's Edinburgh Fringe show.
You would think the former First Minister would have had his fill after being spanked on election night by the Tories.
But kinkiness was a running gag in yesterday's hour-long show, with innuendo about naughty activities in a wheat field and an end-of-the-pier, end-of-the-day pun involving Nicola Sturgeon, Melania Trump and, er, the moment of arrival. Here was Salmond's one-man show, and it wasn't difficult to work out which man he had in mind.
Alex Salmond… Unleashed is the former statesman's comeback, though I honestly hadn't realised he had gone anywhere. He quipped early on that others wanted to call it Unhinged, though since losing his Westminster seat Unemployed would have worked, too.
The production is the work of another former MP, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh. Throughout the event she stood stage-right although, given her ever-changing allegiances, she could be on the left at the next show. A few hundred ruddy-jowled men and extensively tattooed women crammed into the auditorium for the big event, evidently Nationalist diehards keen to relive the glory days of the old man of the SNP. A lecture on the European history of Scotland – Salmond's latest fixation – failed to elicit much of a reaction until the pictures began flicking up on a projector screen. William Wallace… Modest cheer… Mel Gibson as William Wallace… Roof lifted.
To sketch out Salmond's Brexit theme, he brought on David Davis, Cabinet Secretary for Exiting the EU. It was an inspired choice. Two Nationalists divided by a flag, Salmond and Davis bounced off each other and shared the rapport of old-timers who've seen it all – or enough to know that some of the best conversations are with those far away on the political spectrum.
Salmond teased Davis about Cabinet divisions and the minister was game, revealing that in appointing him Brexit Secretary Theresa May had failed to notice he was in the process of suing the Government on a civil liberties matter.
The Natty audience didn't quite know how to handle Davis, so used are they to imagining Tories as colonial oppressors with their jackboot on Scotland's neck. Eventually they warmed to him. Salmond prodded the Tory on the unanswered questions arising from Britain's decision to split from a political and economic union. The Salmond show is sold out – and apparently irony didn't manage to get a ticket.
If the chat with Davis was entertaining, knockabout stuff, not so the stand-up routine by Janey Godley, a Glaswegian who performs in a Scots leid so impenetrable that she could get a grant from Creative Scotland.
By contrast the former SNP leader's humour is pure, unfiltered Salmond – broad, belligerent, bombastic and double smug with an extra helping of sarcasm. He trilled the chorus of 'A Scottish Soldier' whenever Ruth Davidson's name came up. Schtick about David Davis worrying at having Michael Gove 'right behind him' was more Jim Davidson than Larry Grayson.
There were occasional twinkles of the old Salmond magic. He was a tremendous showman in his day and admirers will flock for the nostalgia. Mostly they'll get a former head of government cracking stale sex gags as he makes his way through a PowerPoint presentation on European history.
As with the SNP these days, Alex Salmond… Unleashed felt directionless and in search of a purpose. My occasional chuckle was usually a pity laugh, and pity took up much of my time as Salmond strutted eagerly around the stage, straining to feign relevance. Enoch Powell said that all political careers end in failure, but there is a more ignominious way to go: Yesterday's man telling yesterday's jokes.

In the right place at the right time seems pretty much what's been missing back then for Bobby Thurston to get to the next level. Mind you, a year had gone since he'd met success with the classic 'You Got What It takes' in 1980. And one could already feel the progressive decline of Disco, on the heels of the sadly memorable Disco Demolition Night back on Jul. 12, 1979.
Even the label – Prelude Records – passed on its release as a single at the time. This showing quite a lot in regards of the potential they thought it had. 'Very Last Drop' nevertheless stands as one of the best songs Thurston ever had. The latter comin' up with a one of a kind performance. Beautifully arranged by Al Johnson. With the whole standing as another top production work by the likes of Lester & Brown.
Born in WDC, Bobby Thurtson first sang backing vocals and played congas while at high school in a group named Spectrum Ltd. He eventually took over as the lead singer while having a job at the State Department.
He cqame to meet songwriting/production pair Willie Lester and Rodney Brown while performing one night. They latter signing him on their will to build up a stable of artists in the the vein of labels such as Philadelphia International Records.
Thurston released his debut-LP, 'Sweetest Pie' back in 1978 on Lester & Brown's Mainline Records label. He then switched to Prelude Records just like stable mates Sharon Redd and Gayle Adams. There, he got to higher recognition, most likely with 'You Got What It Takes / Check Out The Groove', from the album of the likes. Its follow-up, – 'The Main Attraction' – didn't get the same reception, despite the presence of the solid 'Is Something Wrong With You' and 'Very Last Drop'. A situation which got him fading from view as Disco died out.


Drive  the Kia Picanto  in Dubai for only AED 80/day, AED 1500/month. This compact fits 4 passengers and 2 medium-sized bags. It is of GCC specs and comes with Premium Sound System, Fog Lights, Front Air Bags, USB Charging Point and other features.

Pierwszy oddech – odruchowa reakcja noworodka na zmiany w składzie krwi, odpępnienie, które powoduje wzrost ciśnienia krwi krążącej i
nowe bodźce: zimno, światło. U zdrowego noworodka występuje w ciągu 30-60 sekund od urodzenia.

Mechanizm
W trakcie porodu dochodzi do skompresowania klatki piersiowej w celu dopasowania jej do wymiarów kanału rodnego kobiety. Płód rodzi się w bezdechu. Pierwszy oddech powoduje nagłe rozprężenie klatki piersiowej, a jednocześnie wytwarza się ujemne ciśnienie w opłucnej dziecka. Dochodzi do zwiększenia przepływu krwi przez płuca i rozprężenia płuc. Pojemność pierwszego oddechu wynosi ok. 50 ml powietrza.

Surfaktant

Surfaktant występujący w pęcherzykach płucnych noworodków donoszonych zapobiega ich zapadaniu się oraz zmniejsza napięcie powierzchniowe. Jego obecność jest warunkiem prawidłowego oddychania noworodka po porodzie.

Płuca dziecka zwiększają swoją objętość z każdym kolejnym oddechem. Wiąże się to nie tylko z rozprężaniem, ale też z wydalaniem płynu owodniowego z pęcherzyków. Jest on wchłaniany do naczyń krwionośnych i limfatycznych wraz ze zwiększającą się ilością wdychanego powietrza. Przepływ płynu owodniowego do naczyń powoduje poszerzenie tętniczek płucnych i wzrost przepływu krwi przez płuca dziecka.

Układ krwionośny
Różnice w budowie układu krwionośnego płodu i dorosłego człowieka stopniowo zanikają po porodzie, a krążenie stabilizuje się.
 Otwór owalny na skutek wzrostu ciśnienia lewego przedsionka serca zamyka się, co jest pierwszym przystosowaniem do życia pozamacicznego; odbywa się to w trakcie kilku pierwszych oddechów. Zarasta do ok. 12 miesiąca życia.
 Przewód żylny zamyka się, tworząc więzadło żylne wątroby.
 Przewód tętniczy obkurcza się wraz ze wzrostem ukrwienia płuc i utlenowania krwi.
Opóźnienia w przystosowaniach układu krwionośnego mogą powodować zaburzenia oddychania i przepływu krwi.
Pod wpływem zmian w składzie chemicznym krwi dochodzi również do silnego obkurczenia naczyń pępowinowych.

Oklahoma Dismisses Child Sex Charges and Jails Victims Father Instead
Martin Stites, photographyisnotacrime.com
Believe it or not, in the United States Judicial System a father of a four year old sexual abuse victim can be sentenced to a year in jail for swearing. The father of the unnamed victim was upset with how his daughter was treated on the witness stand after his daughter was uncomfortable to look at Martin Stites – who is accused of molesting her. The upset father audibly cursed before storming out of the courtroom pushing the door loudly on his way out.
Several minutes later the father was brought back into court in handcuffs and admitted he swore, which Sheets then sentenced him to six months in jail. After the father swore a second time in disbelief Judge Sheets sentenced him to an additional six months before he was taken out of court. If that was not enough the four year old girl had to resume answering questions about the sexual abuse that occurred when she was only three.
Facts of The Case & Aftermath
What would happen next during the preliminary hearings made an already unsettling situation worse. The four year old victim was not comfortable answering questions in front of her accuser which led to an unpredictable outcome. Shockingly Judge Matthew Sheets decided to drop the three felony sex charges Martin Stites – a retired police officer of 22 years was facing. However, Sheets did charge Stites with one charge of lewd molestation after hearing the testimony of the young victim.
At the time of the alleged incident, Stites was babysitting the young girl. After she was taken to the hospital, where testing proved she had be sexually assaulted, Stites curiously burned the girls
esquireempire.com
clothing in a presumed attempt to hide evidence. For some reason, the deputy that went to the home to retrieve the young girls clothing and the nurse at the hospital did not testify at the preliminary hearing. Their absence created a situation where the case rested on the testimony of a four year old girl obviously dealing with trauma from the horrific incident. Stites is due back in court on March 11.
A petition calling for Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin to impeach Judge Sheets was recently launched as citizens outcry over his actions as many feel he misused his authority as a Judge of the United States.

What is it with Saudis and Flight Training?

≈ Comments Off on What is it with Saudis and Flight Training?
Saudi Arabia, terrorism
Possible links to terrorism. You think?
An aviation student from Saudi Arabia opened fire in a classroom at the Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday morning, killing three people in an attack the Saudi government quickly condemned and that U.S. officials were investigating for possible links to terrorism.
The assault, which ended when a sheriff's deputy killed the attacker, was the second fatal shooting at a U.S. Navy base this week and prompted a massive law enforcement response and base lockdown.
I guess we should be grateful this wasn't the work of the real terrorists, white nationalists. Better ban flight schools.
20 Strict Conditions

invasion, London, stupid, terrorism, UK
The other Khan of London, the one who was under court order not to be there, went anyway. Is anyone surprised that this cat was less than enthusiastic about following the rules in the West?
THE London Bridge terrorist was banned from entering London but had a one-day exemption to attend an ex-convict event, it emerged last night.
Usman Khan, 28, from Staffordshire, was released from prison in December last year on condition he obey 20 strict conditions – which included not visiting the capital.
The NTA (like the NRA, but short for the "Narwhal Tusk Association") is lobbying hard to divert attention away from the dangers of bridges and fire extinguishers. Where's Jeremy Corbyn when we need him? Sentencing reform is what will say the UK! Well, that and more DIEversity. If only they'd added a 21st fantasy condition about not stabbing people to death and running amock with a bomb belt. For shame.
Next: Londoner Control?
fighting back, invasion, London, narwhal tusk, terrorism
At least of the real, traditional variety. #NarwhalTuskControl and #FireExtinguisherControl don't have the right ring to them. But, Aloha Snackbar!, what is needed after these revelations?
Scotland Yard is investigating how 28-year-old Usman Khan was able to launch the attack in London Bridge, despite being known to the authorities and fitted with an electronic tag to monitor his movements. He was allowed out a year ago after serving time for his part in a plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange.
In footage that has since emerged, Khan is sprayed with a fire extinguisher, while another man tries to suppress the assailant with a narwhal tusk – a long pointed tooth from a type of whale – lunging at him. It is believed the item was pulled from the wall of Fishmongers' Hall, a Grade II-listed building on London Bridge, by a Polish chef called Łukasz.
I'm sure this Khan is unrelated to London's other Khan, other than their sharing of common ideologies and hatred of all things British. And, imagine if, instead of whale tusks and fire-fighting tools, the Brits still had handguns (like the cops(!)), or at least knives. At any rate, it's great to find at least a few who aren't completely cucked, unlike their brave leadership – who will cuck and cave on this incident and related matters faster than you can say, "go back to where you came from!"

drugs, invasion, Mexico, terrorism, Trump
Trump may (may) be about to do something big and useful.
President Donald Trump put the Mexican government on the defensive when he said he "absolutely" will move ahead with plans to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
Trump said in a radio interview this week that tens of thousands of Americans are killed every year because of drug trafficking and other activity by the cartels. But Mexico is pushing back, worried that such a step would allow its neighbor to the north to violate its sovereignty by operating unilaterally inside Mexico.
"I've been working on that for the last 90 days," Trump said in a radio interview with Bill O'Reilly, who asked whether such a designation would be forthcoming.
O'Reilly had asked Trump if he would designate the cartels "and start hitting them with drones and things like that?"
Trump replied: "I don't want to say what I'm going to do, but they will be designated."
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Wednesday that he did not want to enter a "political confrontation" with the U.S. government on the eve of its Thanksgiving holiday. He said that he would leave it at "cooperation, yes; interventionism, no," and that he had instructed Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard to explain Mexico's position to Washington.
Ebrard later tweeted that he'd already been in contact with the U.S. government and would use diplomacy to "defend sovereignty."
Yes, sovereignty. It's okay for them to dump scores of millions of invaders across our border, but perish the thought a 1% return across theirs. If the cartels are terrorists, subject to military reprisals, then anyone associated – like coyotes and "cargo" – would be as well. And, if anyone, like a federal judge, interferes in this international operation, he sets himself up as an accessory, an enemy combatant. A clean up at last?
May not even happen, but it's a great, hopeful thought!
The Tall Bearded Man
≈ Comments Off on The Tall Bearded Man
invasion, knife control, London, terrorism
So, London, how's the knife control working out? Another familiar kind of attack:
The armed cops then order the members of the public to step away from the "tall bearded" man before he is shot by one of the firearms officers about 2pm.
A lorry was left jacknifed across the bridge as hundreds of panicked civilians ran for their lives.
Pictures from the scene showed one large kitchen knife lying next to the suspect's body with a second blade removed by a hero passerby.
Guy Lawrence, 48, said he saw a man running out of a building, believed to be Fishmonger's Hall, armed with two kitchen knives with 20cm blades.
He claimed one member of the public was seen running after the suspect, one armed with a 6ft stick and another with a fire extinguisher.
He told The Times: "I saw all traffic stopped in front of me. I heard shooting — there was an attack. And I saw a guy on the floor. I heard two shots: bang, bang.
"Police were running towards us and they told us to get out and run."
Get out and run. Next time, the bomb may not be fake. Better ban them too. Or, just ban terroristic invaders. And, per the first law, just how many agencies was this attacker known too?
UPDATE: Of course. As Vox points out:
The attacker shot dead on London Bridge was known to police and had connections to terror groups.
The man, who was wearing a fake suicide vest, killed two people and injured three in the attack. The attacker was a convicted terrorist with previous links to al-Muhajiroun, the group led by Anjem Choudry and dubbed Britain's "most prolific and dangerous extremist group", The Independent understands.
The assailant had been recently released from prison and was being monitored by police.
Great job monitoring!
UPDATE: NARWHAL CONTROL, NOW!
More "Shocking" Revelations
≈ Comments Off on More "Shocking" Revelations
9/11, cover-up, false flag, Saudi Arabia, terrorism
It never rains but it pours. First, someone says Jeff Epstein was an Israeli intel asset. Now, families of 9/11 victims want to know if Saudi Arabia had a hand in 9/11.
The plaintiffs have won something of a victory recently with the Trump administration decision to declassify a key name of a Saudi official who has been long sought by the relatives of the victims. Under the terms of the information release, the government as well as the victims' lawyers, who received the name under a "protective order," have not been allowed to expose the name publicly.
The declassified name, which came from an FBI investigative file, is, however, only a partial victory for the group that goes by the name 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism. The release of other documents relating to the Saudi role is pending, possibly due to the Trump White House's insistence on maintaining good relations with the Kingdom and more particularly with its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but the plaintiffs wonder how it is possible that information on the attack should still be classified more than eighteen years after the fact.
The name of the official is nevertheless important, even a "top priority," because it is believed that he was a senior intelligence officer who was meeting with two men who may have assisted the alleged hijackers. The FBI even refers to it as "the primary piece of information that the plaintiffs in the 9/11 litigation have been seeking."
And, what if these two crazy "conspiracy theories" turned out to be connected in some way? Odds are, this being football season, nobody would notice.

invasion, terrorism
A paperwork Amerikan plots expanding benefits of that strength and so forth.
They unveiled charges in Manhattan on Thursday against Alexei Saab of Morristown, New Jersey, who has been in custody since July. The government alleges that Saab has been a Hezbollah member since 1996 and has extensive firearms and bomb-making training.
Among Saab's dozens of alleged New York City targets, prosecutors said, were the George Washington Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
He also surveiled targets in Boston and Washington, including Fenway Park and the Washington Monument.
Saab, 42 and a naturalized U.S. citizen, faces charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, as well as a variety of conspiracy and other charges.
Just as Amerikan as you or me – just like that airline mechanic. The Hun is really a Roman, you see.

"Refugees", ISIS, Pittsburgh, Syria, terrorism, War
Stir them up, over there. Then, import then, here. What could go wrong? This, evidently:
A 21-year-old Pittsburgh resident and Syrian refugee accused of planning an attack on a Christian church on the city's North Side and providing resources to ISIS has been arrested.
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 21, was arrested Wednesday based on a federal complaint charging him with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, and two counts of distributing information relating to an explosive, destructive device or weapon of mass destruction in relation to a plan to attack a church.
Alowemer allegedly planned to bomb the Legacy International Worship Center using a weapon of mass destruction. The FBI said Alowemer thought he was plotting online and in person with fellow ISIS sympathizers, but they were actually undercover for the FBI.
In the defense of Globohomo, just think of all the tasty ethnic food.

France, Lyon, terrorism
Past time, in fact. A random suitcase launched a terror attack in Lyon.
A nail bomb device detonated in the central Victor Hugo Area around 5.30pm local time.
A man, thought to be in his 30s and wearing a mask, reportedly dropped it in a suitcase outside a bakery.
Cops are now hunting him and have since launched a terrorism probe, the French prosecutor has confirmed.
Ban nails, masks, bakeries, and local time, to be saaaafe. Ban "men" too, as long is the "man" turns out to a member of the gilets jaunes or some other white nationalist outfit. Jail somebody at le Monde for safe measure.

England, Europe, invasion, Islam, terrorism, Tommy Robinson, War
…who arrested Tommy Robinson for filming with his phone … stand idly by as incompatible primitives lob bricks and rocks at Tommy and his legacy British followers. Read that linked article and make sure to watch the video (which has been up on the socials for hours, all day – no need to dredge the dark web for this one).
Unhinged "protesters" with the Muslim Defence League attacked Tommy Robinson and his supporters with bricks, bottles and eggs during a campaign event in Oldham on Saturday.
The violent attack was captured on video by multiple people — and livestreamed on Facebook by the MDL themselves.
Sounds like they need a Natives Defense League. Oh, wait, already forming up in Eastern Europe. May it spread and rapidly. Otherwise, this and similar future events will keep boosting the already historically high number of Islamic terror attacks in Europe.
A new report by CSIS, a national security think tank, has found that Islamic terror attacks in Europe increased by 725 percent between 2007 and 2017.
This figure, which includes both successful and unsuccessful attacks, once again highlights the fact that Islamic extremism is by far the biggest terror threat to the west.

All Aboard Northwest
Enabling Language
For many years, Americans living in the Greater Northwest have not had good access to passenger rail services. The lack of service, loss of air service at smaller airports in this region, and the significant economic impact intercity passenger rail service can provide has fueled interest at the local, county, and state level in the Greater Northwest region to join forces to find innovative ways to move our people. These interests, loosely calling themselves the Greater Northwest Working Group, have been collaborating for over a year to support initiatives to return intercity passenger rail service to the Greater Northwest.
The Senate Commerce Committee passed an amendment offered by Montana Senator Jon Tester to direct the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a national daily long-distance passenger rail service study.
Expanding passenger rail service means that we must all work together to advocate for more trains and better service.

Poll: Nearly 70 Percent of American Voters Less Likely to Do Business with Woke Disney
Penny Starr April 12, 2022 Posted in Uncategorized
A poll from the Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group found that nearly 70 percent of respondents said they are less likely to do business with Disney after the iconic entertainment company came out in opposition to Florida's Parental Rights in Education law and after a series of videos saw Disney executives and producers boasting about including LGBTQIA2S+ content in programing for children.
Some 57.2 percent said they are "less likely to do business with Disney;" while those "much less likely" come in at 11 percent — in all, 68.2 percent of voters are much more likely to look for alternative options for family-friendly content.
Only 9.4 percent say the development make them "more likely to do business with Disney."
The Trafalga Group voter poll.
"These numbers reveal clearly that 2022's parent's revolt movement is growing stronger every day," Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action, says about the poll. "Parents are infuriated by the widespread leftists assault on their kids. Disney is about to learn that attempting to ideologically and sexually groom our children is a recipe for brand destruction, costing the company massively in both customers and revenue."
"Who in the hell is in charge at Disney?" Meckler said.
"Our numbers also found that parents are actively seeking family-friendly alternatives to Disney, which is great news for our friends at The Daily Wire Kids, at Angel Studios, and for creators looking to capitalize on a massive marketplace opportunity to provide more than two-thirds of parents the family-friendly choices they're looking for," Meckler said.
Along party lines, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans say they are looking for more family-friendly alternatives to the Florida and California-based company — 58.6 percent of Democrats, 72.1 percent of Independents, and 77.6 percent of Republicans.
Other findings of the poll include:
48.2 percent of Democrats say that recent revelations of Disney focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas makes them less likely to do business with Disney. 14.4 percent say more likely, and 37.4 percent say no difference.
72.5 percent of Independents say that recent revelations of Disney focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas makes them less likely to do business with Disney. 9.1 percent say more likely, and 18.3 percent say no difference.
85.3 percent of Republicans say that recent revelations of Disney focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas makes them less likely to do business with Disney. 4.4 percent say more likely, and 10.3 percent say no difference.

Eduard Alexandrowitsch Rjabow (; * 16. Januar 1972) ist ein ehemaliger russischer Biathlet, der zeitweise auch für Kirgisistan antrat.

Eduard Rjabow kommt aus Chanty-Mansijsk und startete für die Region Jugra. Er gewann bei den erstmals ausgetragenen Biathlon-Europameisterschaften 1994 in Kontiolahti mit Pawel Muslimow, Pawel Wawilow und Nikolai Klykow die Goldmedaille im Staffelrennen. Er debütierte zum Auftakt der Saison 1994/95 im Biathlon-Weltcup. Gleich in seinem ersten Einzel erreichte er mit Rang sechs eine Top-Ten-Platzierung. Im weiteren Verlauf der Saison wurde er in Oberhof bei einem Einzel Dritter hinter Wilfried Pallhuber und Patrice Bailly-Salins. Es blieb das einzige Podiumsresultat in einem Einzelrennen im Weltcup. Höhepunkt der ersten Saison wurden die Biathlon-Weltmeisterschaften 1995 in Antholz, bei denen Rjabow sowohl im Einzel wie auch mit Alexei Kobelew, Pawel Muslimow und Wladimir Dratschow im Staffelrennen Achter wurde. In der Gesamtwertung des Weltcups wurde er Sechster. An diese Leistungen sollte er in der Folgezeit nicht mehr anknüpfen können, wenngleich er in den beiden folgenden Saisonen noch mehrfach Top-Ten-Resultate erreichte. Bei den Biathlon-Europameisterschaften 1997 in Windischgarsten gewann er mit Wladimir Bechterew, Andrei Padin und Alexei Sidorow als Schlussläufer im Staffelrennen hinter den Deutschen die Silbermedaille. 1999 gewann er mit Kobelew, Sergei Konowalow und Muslimow in Ischewsk erneut Staffel-Silber. Zum Finale der Saison 1999/2000 konnte Rjabow in Chanty-Mansijsk erstmals seit 1997 wieder im Weltcup starten, ohne jedoch nennenswerte Leistungen zu zeigen. Es waren zugleich die letzten reinen Weltcuprennen seiner Karriere. Vor 2003 wechselte er den Verband und trat bei den Biathlon-Weltmeisterschaften 2003 in Chanty-Mansijsk für Kirgisistan an. Der Russe wurde 60. des Einzels, 40. des Sprints und 41. der Verfolgung. Seine letzten internationalen Rennen bestritt er ebenfalls in Chanty-Mansijsk beim IBU-Grand-Prix 2003. Im selben Jahr wurde er in Kansk gemeinsam mit Prokunin, Beresnew und Kobelew als Schlussläufer in der Staffel russischer Meister.

Rjabow ist einer der Direktoren des  (deutsch: "Trainingszentrum der Sportmannschaften der Region Jugra").

April in Barcelona is full of events for all ages. Except for the Easter and Holy Week, there will be Sant Jordi's Day, Earth Day and Feria de Abril. Look at our selection of events in and see what is the best one for you.
In Spain, the Holy Week is one of the most celebrated Catholic events. Every year, one week before Easter, religious Spanish brotherhoods (cofradía) and fraternities gather in a large procession held on the streets in almost every Spanish city. Most popular are the colorful processions in the south of Spain, but Barcelona also has a large and authentic local procession of men wearing long robes with pointed hoods so do not surprise if you see them or religious figures that are carried on the streets.
Once upon a time, a fearsome dragon was destroying a small village in Catalonia called Montblanc. People were frightened and hopeless so they decided to sacrifice one person every day so they could calm the anger of the dragon. The day has come when the king's daughter was supposed to be sacrificed but at the moment she was about to be eaten up by the dragon, a courageous knight, Saint George, killed the evil beast. A red rose grew from the dragon's blood and since then, it is a Catalonian tradition to give a rose to your loved ones. The new tradition is, however, to give a book as a sign of gratitude and that is why Barcelona is full of bookstalls and book markets on Sant Jordi's day.
'Fira de Abril de Catalunya' or the Barcelona's April Fair is the traditional festival that has roots in Andalusia. The whole range of colors combined with good music and food are things that make this fun-fair pretty amazing.
Fira de la Terra is the Spanish way of celebrating Earth Day while promoting a better understanding of the environment. Earth Market offers outdoor markets, street performances, and activities for all ages aimed to draw attention to the negative impact of modern society on natural and social systems.
Temperatures will be between 17ºC and 22ºC (61ºF to 70ºF) so the only thing that you will need to bring in Barcelona is a light jacket and your desire to explore!
If you are looking for a perfect apartment where you can stay with your family or friends, go to the Habitat Apartments website and find the one that suits you the best.

Q. Rachel made my day!
Thanks for your You Said/We Did comments card last week and for your kind words about my colleague Rachel.
It's all too easy for people to complain when they're unhappy and I think we sometimes forget to take the time to pass on praise or compliments. So thank you for going out of your way to do this.
I've let Rachel know about your feedback and have thanked her for her excellent contribution to the work of the Library.


"A survey of almost 2,000 healthcare professionals has revealed the significant extent to which parkrun is being prescribed to patients in the UK.
parkruns are free 5k events that take place in around 500 parks and open spaces around the UK every Saturday throughout the year, coordinated entirely by local volunteers. They are open to walkers and runners of all ages and abilities, with up to 120,000 people completing the 5k each Saturday and more than 10,000 volunteering.
The survey aimed to find out whether health care professionals are referring patients to parkrun (an example of 'social prescribing'), why they might do so and how they are signposting people. For those who weren't referring people to parkrun, the survey also sought to establish what the barriers might be and how these could be overcome.
Almost two thirds of those surveyed (63%) revealed they currently prescribe parkrun in some form, and this number increases to 72% of those surveyed who are registered with parkrun. 88% of those surveyed said that they would consider referring service users to parkrun.
The online questionnaire attracted responses from a wide range of health specialisms. GPs made up 26% of respondents, with 20% registered nurses and 11% physiotherapists. Occupational therapists, pharmacists and dentists also participated.
Social prescription is currently happening in a relatively informal way, with 91% of practitioners who have signposted to parkrun simply suggesting parkrun to patients and service users. 34% write down the name of the local parkrun event, with 28% showing the patient the parkrun website, 7% helping with registration and 8% actually accompanying the patient to the event.
The analysis revealed a wide range of motivations for prescribing parkrun. 93% do so to help improve the fitness of their patients, 78% do so to improve mental wellbeing, 62% to improve quality of life, 56% to increase self-confidence, 52% to improve self-care/self-management and 52% to make friends. Occupational therapists stood out as being relatively more likely to prescribe parkrun to help a patient make friends (68%) and reduce loneliness (50%).
Although the majority are recommending that people run or walk at parkrun, a third of health care professionals, especially nurses and occupational therapists, have suggested volunteering, with 17% suggesting patients spectate, possibly with a view to seeing if they would like to participate in future. This demonstrates an understanding of the varied health benefits that come from taking part in a range of different ways, suited to the needs of the individual patient.
parkrun's Head of Health and Wellbeing Chrissie Wellington said: "We are really encouraged by the scale of the response and the findings of this research. It shows a broad awareness amongst a range of health care professionals of the health and wellbeing benefits of parkrun that go far beyond physical fitness, and a willingness to refer people to our events as a means of encouraging healthy, active lifestyles and supporting individuals to take greater control of their own health.""

Poll: Most women not that shallow!
But who wants to read about that? It's nothing some fact-twisting can't fix.
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/03/25/brains_and_beauty/
Tracy Clark-Flory
March 26, 2009 12:15AM (UTC)
This morning, I came across some palm-to-forehead headlines: "Women value beauty over Nobel Prize, poll indicates," "Network's Beauty Survey Has Some Not So Pretty Results," "Brains or beauty? Women still conflicted" and "You Want To Understand Women? Good Luck." I steeled myself for the grim results of the survey that had spawned such self-righteous head-shaking. The Oxygen Media poll of 2,000 women age 18 to 34 found that, brace yourselves, 75 percent of women would rather win the Nobel Peace Prize than "America's Next Top Model." Meaning: The vast majority of women value brains over beauty, altruism over narcissism.
The "not so pretty results," the "conflict" over the inner and outer self and the evidence that women as a monolithic group choose beauty over brains are nowhere to be found. Yes, a quarter of the female population would rather walk in the high-heeled footsteps of Adrianne Curry than follow Mother Teresa's humanitarian lead, but they are the minority. Similarly, 25 percent said they wouldn't "shave their heads to save the life of a stranger," nearly 25 percent of women said "they'd rather be thin than smart," 26 percent "would make their best friend fat for life, if it meant they could be thin" and 22 percent who "consider themselves attractive would rather lose the ability to read than lose their figure." It would appear from the results that roughly a quarter of the female population is consistently superficial; in other words, most women are not. Of course, that wasn't spelled out in Oxygen's press release or the ensuing media coverage -- because who, aside from you, dear reader, wants to read an article headlined, "Poll: Most women not that shallow!"
You would almost think there was an ulterior motive behind the survey to make women into vapid villains. Oh, wait, the network's press release about its scientific findings is accompanied by the following note: "Premiering March 31 at 11pm ET/PT, Oxygen's new series 'Pretty Wicked' puts looks aside as 10 women compete in a series of challenges designed to 'beautify' their insides to match their outside."

È di origini russe e attualmente risiede a Montréal, Canada. È meglio conosciuta per il suo lavoro sotto il ring name di Anna Minoushka.

Carriera nel wrestling professionistico

Gli inizi (2002-2006)
Anna Minoushka ha iniziato il suo allenamento nel novembre 2002, quando ha debuttato con Binovich Fouranov nella Northern Championship Wrestling (nCw). È stata introdotta dallo stesso Binovich come sue manager e lo ha portato ad ottenere una vittoria contro una futura stella nel pro wrestling, Don Paysan. Allenata da Marc the Grizzly e Mr.Cobra, ha fatto il suo debutto sul quadrato il 17 maggio 2003 a nCw ChallangeMania 11. Ha fatto coppia con i suoi protetti Binovich Fouranov e Gorgeous Mike ma ha perso contro i Double Trouble e Cobra.
Nonostante la sconfitta, sono stati nominati i Wrestler più odiati dell'anno nella nCw. Anna è stata inoltre coronata dal titolo di Manager dell'anno nel 2003. Dopo diversi cambiamenti nella sua carriera, passando dalla Coalition Russe a Manuel Vegas ad Alex Price a Jayzon Reaper ha fatto il suo debutto nella ALF (Association de Lutte Fèminine) nel 2006 e questo è quello che le ha fatto fare il passo successivo nel pro wrestling.

In singolo (2006-presente)
Ha debuttato per la ALF il 4 agosto 2006 in un match perso contro Malicia Lucifera. Un mese dopo ha ottenuto la sua prima vittoria in singolo contro Roxie ma nella stessa sera ha perso un Fatal 4 Way che ha visto coinvolte anche Portia Perez, La Parfaite Caroline e Sweet Cherrie. Allo show ALF "Le Courunmente" ha perso un altro importante match, questa volta contro Vanessa Kraven. La tigre russa, tuttavia, è stata in grado di ottenere un'importante vittoria contro Malicia Lucifera in un rematch dal suo debutto. Ha poi iniziato un feud con Charlotte Lamothe ma non è mai stata in grado di sconfiggerla, neanche facendo coppia con Kalamity o Paradox. Ha poi iniziato una losing streak in ALF perdendo contro atlete come Danyah, Mary Lee Rose o la stessa Charlotte Lamothe. Dopo tutto, tuttavia, è stata in grado di vincere il suo ultimo match nella ALF sconfiggendo Candygirl, che ha anche lottato per la NCW Femmes Fatales.

Nello stesso tempo, nella nCw, nel tardo 2007, le è stato dato l'nCw Cruiserweight Title dopo che Alex Price ha lasciato la compagnia ma lo ha perso contro la sua nemesi Binovich Fouranov. L'estate successiva si è sposata con Sexxxy Eddy nella ALF ma è ancora un mistero se loro stanno insieme o no. Dopo una breve alleanza con The Inmat conosciuti come Criminal Minds, ha trovato una casa con TNT e Adrian O'Ryan formand il trio dell'Anarchy Rulz. Hanno feudato con i Project 13 e Mary Lee Rose per l'intera estate. È poi diventata Queen Anna dopo che TNT è stato nominato re della nCw nel novembre 2009. La settimana successiva al suo debutto in SHIMMER ha quasi finito la carriera di LuFisto con uno Spear.

NCW FF e SHIMMER (2009-presente)
È stata parte del primo show della NCW Femmes Fatales, che ha preso luogo il 5 settembre 2009. Ha preso parte ad un Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match che ha visto coinvolte Kalamity, Mary Lee Rose e Roxie Cotton. È stata eliminata per prima per squalifica dopo essersi rifiutata di strangolare Mary Lee con le corde. Nel secondo show, che ha preso luogo il 6 febbraio 2010 ha fatto coppia con Anastasia Ivy sconfiggendo il team di Mary Lee Rose e PJ Tyler dopo aver effettuato uno spear su Mary Lee Rose. Anna Minoushka è stato in grado di ottenere un'impressionante vittoria su Sabrina Kyle ed è stato annunciato, la stessa sera, che avrebbe lottato con Amazing Kong il 23 ottobre 2010.

Dopo le sue performance nei primi due show della nCw Femmes Fatales è stata bookata a prendere parte agli SHIMMER Tapings il 2 e 3 maggio 2010. Ha debuttato come parte della SPARKLE Division sconfiggendo PJ Tyler con un Modified Pedigree. Il giorno successivo ha lottato in un tag team match con She Nay Nay perdendo contro il team di PJ Tyler e Leva Bates.

Morocco signs deal with Boeing to attract suppliers

Story Text: Morocco signed an agreement on Tuesday (September 27) that Boeing Co will seek to attract its suppliers to boost the kingdom's aeronautics industry.
The "Boeing ecosystem" project aims to bring around 120 suppliers of the company to help raise Morocco's aeronautics exports by $1 billion and create 8,700 jobs.
Boeing already has a joint venture with France's Safran in Casablanca to build wire bundles and harnesses for aircraft makers, including Boeing and Airbus.
Tuesday's agreement was signed in the royal palace of Tangier by Moroccan trade and industry minister Moulay Hafid Elalamy and the chief executive of Boeing's airplane business, Raymond Conner. Moroccan King Mohammed attended the ceremony.
"We've signed an agreement that we are going to work with our suppliers and ourselves to create an aerospace ecosystem here in Morocco," Conner said during the ceremony.
Conner and Moroccan officials declined to give details or to say whether some of the suppliers have already committed to open new plants in the kingdom.
Unlike some other countries in the region, Morocco has managed to avoid a big drop in foreign investments since the global financial crisis and the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, partly by marketing itself as an export base for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
It has attracted some big auto and aeronautics investors in recent years, including Delphi, Bombardier and Eaton Corp.
Morocco has already exported 5.7 billion dirhams ($590 million) of aircraft parts in the first eight months of 2016, which represent around of 3.5 percent of Moroccan exports. The aeronautics sector has been growing by around 7 percent annually.
Elalamy added that the agreement signified a new era for the aeronautics industry in Morocco, helping raise exports by $1 billion.
"We will be exporting up to one billion dollars from Morocco. This project is important because, as everybody knows, more than 70 percent of the parts it makes are made by sub suppliers. What we agreed with Boeing is to create a full ecosystem that will put together some 120 of its subcontractors who will settle in Morocco to make one billion US dollars," he said.
The chairman of the Moroccan Association of Aeronautics and Aerospace (GIMAS), an association that represents the private aeronautics sector in Morocco, added that the agreement will attract suppliers to Morocco and also recognises the thousands of Moroccan workers in the industry.
"This agreement is a strong signal and a strong incentive for the 15,000 suppliers and subcontractors of Boeing to come to Morocco. It tells them that Morocco is the country where they should be today. It is a country where there is sustainable competition for years to come. Finally, it is a recognition of the work done by the industrialists who are now in Morocco and also a recognition for the 12,000 young people who sustain this sector in Morocco," Hamid Benbrahim El-Andaloussi said.
Morocco expects auto industry exports to reach 100 billion dirhams a year by 2020 thanks to PSA Peugeot Citroen's decision last year to build a factory slated to produce 200,000 vehicles a year. It expects the Peugeot plant to raise industry to 20 percent of domestic product (GDP) from 16 percent.

NEW YORK – Federal workers affected by the partial US government shutdown may request a free New York hotel room if their situation is dire, a local trade group said.
So "in a show of goodwill to thousands of workers affected by the government shutdown, the Hotel Association of New York City announced it will provide free hotel rooms to furloughed federal workers who need to travel to New York City for personal emergencies during the shutdown," the group said in a statement.
Federal workers who might need a free hotel stay were asked to send an email explaining their circumstances with subject "GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ROOM APPLICATION" to sandy@hanyc.org.
"Whether it's a family situation or a health issue that requires people to travel to the city, we will do what we can to provide accommodations on a limited basis to those in dire need," said Vijay Dandapani, president and CEO, Hotel Association of New York City.

Fox Marin's 2023 Toronto Real Estate Forecast
Toronto Real Estate is 2022's Breakout Star (Despite the Odds):
2022, by all accounts, was a tumultuous year for all markets, including the Toronto Real Estate Market. Some readers may be surprised that the average selling price in December 2022 was $1,189,850, +8.6 percent year-over-year, compared to $1,095,333 in 2021 (TREBB Dec. Market Watch Report).
This growth can be attributed to 2022's epic strong start, which began to wane in the face of rising interest rates as the year wore on.
However, given all the economic and geopolitical uncertainty in 2022, Toronto Real Estate performed relatively well. In fact, it outperformed almost every asset class, including stocks, bonds & crypto-currency.
The following article explores what lies ahead in 2023 for Toronto's Real Estate Market.
If anything, we have learned over the last few years the near-term future remains volatile and challenging to predict. But in the face of great shorter uncertainty, when one zooms out, the long-term fundamentals and projections for the Toronto Real Estate Market remain as strong as they have ever been. And we cannot wait to see how things unfold in the coming months.
Let's dive into it!
The Dreaded "R "Word; Recession:
The smart money is in consensus that a recession in 2023 is all but assured. BlackRock (with 10 Trillion under management), Bank of America, JP Morgan, and legendary investors and entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Stanley Druckenmiller all but concede that the US and Global economy are facing strong headwinds and heading into an undeniable slowdown in 2023.
According to Elon Musk (no background introduction required), "It does seem like we're headed into a recession here in 2023; my best guess is that we have stormy times for a year to a year and a half, and then dawn breaks roughly in Q2 2024". Musk suggests that after a largely uninterrupted 14-year expansion, the US economy is "overdue" for a recession.
Okay, are we "in" or "going into" a Recession? And what impact can we expect that to have on The Toronto Real Estate Market?
Historically recessions tend to last around 18 months, and as Elon pointed out, by historical standards, "we are long overdue."
While the "R" word typically puts fear and panic into consumers' hearts and minds, recessions are simply part of a business cycle and do not last forever.
The last time we had a recession in Canada was in 2008, and the Toronto Real Estate Market flatlined for about six months before skyrocketing again.
While this current recession is inherently and structurally different from 2008, we expect the Toronto Real Estate Market to remain resilient, with the bulk of the price correction taking place last year between March 2022 and July 2022.
Since then, and month over month, the market stabilized over Q3 and Q4 of 2022. And we expect this pricing stability trend to continue into the early months of 2023.
Given the historically low levels of unemployment, deep household savings levels and our prudent mortgage lending system, similar to 2022, there will not be any panic selling in Toronto which would flood the market with inventory this year.
Despite what the mass media is saying, most homeowners are not under duress, and the numbers don't lie:
As per the Canadian Bankers Association, there are 2,196,117 mortgages across Ontario. Of those, only 1,318 are in arrears, meaning they must make 1-3 payment(s) to catch up but are not in default. This rate of arrears is 0.06%, the lowest province in Canada, with the national average sitting at 0.14%.
As a rule, markets like stability and certainty.
Once it appears that the central banks have wrapped up with rate hikes and inflation begins to subside, expect many buyers sitting on the sidelines to jump back in with both feet in 2023.
Interest Rates & Inflation:
Expect a tipping point mid-year when things start to stabilize.
According to Benjamin Tal, the chief economist at CIBC, fifty percent of inflation is driven by supply-chain. And our supply-chain issues are just starting to come down.
Tal expects that inflation will be down by April 2023 from a 7% range to a 4% range, which in turn means we could see interest rates begin to ease off by the end of this year.
In a recent Globe and Mail article, Robert Carrick notes that; CIBC Economics on a Statistics Canada report shows stagnant retail sales in November 2022. Carrick quotes, "Today's data suggest that goods spending is going nowhere fast, with inflation and higher interest rates denting households' desire and ability to increase spending volumes."
Additionally, TD Economics comments on the effect higher debt costs will have on spending: "We expect consumer spending growth to stall throughout 2023 and much of the excess savings built up during the pandemic to be drawn down by the rise in debt service costs."
However, as inflation begins to cool off in overall consumer demand and supply chain bottlenecks, many economists predict central banks will start easing rates as early as Q3 & Q4 2023.
Wouldn't that be nice?
So, What to Expect in 2023?
Here is what some trustworthy industry experts are saying;
1/ Kevin Crigger, President of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board:
"With many residents across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) waiting on the sidelines to make any housing-related moves, Crigger predicts next year will be a turning point for many who want to enter the market or make changes to their housing situation."
"I think based on the pace of life and growth in the market, you'll certainly see more activity in 2023," he said. We're seeing a stabilization of price. We're seeing a lower level of activity, but we're also seeing a relatively lower level of new listings."
"I think as people become comfortable with what the Bank of Canada's next move will be and people become comfortable with the rate environment that exists now, you'll certainly see more people step back into the market,"
"The price stability we've found towards the end of 2022 will carry through to 2023. Rental rates clearly will remain at an elevated pace. If we see an increase in demand as people come back into the market, I think that could provide a favourable direction to the price at some point in the market,"
2/ Karen Yolevski, COO at Royal LePage:
Royal LePage forecasts a more modest 2% year-over-year decrease, with the average home price in the fourth quarter of 2023 hitting $1,056,734.
Karen Yolevski, Royal LePage's chief operating officer, said in the company's 2023 home price forecast released this month. "We believe the bulk of the price correction in the GTA has already occurred and that a return to more normal trends is on the horizon."
Yolevski added that sales are set to rise again by the middle of next year, assuming interest rates stabilize and consumer confidence is restored.
"I expect buyers who have been waiting for prices to level off will encounter increased competition when they re-enter the buying cycle, specifically in the more affordable condo segment, although not at the levels seen in 2021 and early 2022," she said.
"A significant boost in inventory will be needed in the coming years to satisfy sidelined demand and an increasing number of newcomers."
3/ Robert Hogue, Assistant Chief Economist at Royal Bank of Canada:
An end to its rate-hiking trajectory could bring a degree of stability to the housing market – although Hogue emphasized that it could be a few months before it's clear that the Bank is definitely done on hiking rates.
"But I think most of the increase is done, and most of the decline in home resale activity is probably behind us as well. So there's probably a little more room to go down in the coming months, but probably not that much. And then eventually the market will kind of stabilize."
4/ Phil Soper, CEO at Royal LePage:
RLP, stated in their report. "In an era characterized by the unusual, this correction has not followed historical patterns. While the volume of homes trading hands has dropped steeply, home prices have held on with relatively modest declines. We see this as a continuing trend."
Low unemployment and many unfilled job openings mean that only some families are likely to be forced to sell their homes, contributing to the lack of homes on the market.
This contrasts with a traditional recessionary environment, in which job losses snowball into missed mortgage payments and foreclosures, leading the market to be flooded with new listings. However, most people have kept their jobs in Canada's post-pandemic period.
"In fact, they have seen wages and salaries rise. "We have a tightly managed national mortgage portfolio, with historically low default rates, supported by homeowners who have been required to qualify for a loan under the strict federal stress test for the last five years. We simply don't see the factors at play that would result in a large drop in home values."
What to Look for in 2023:
1/ Affordability:
Affordability will continue to be the story in Toronto. The short-term issue currently is interest rates; as inflation starts to wane and interest rates soften, the root problem (our inability of supply to meet demand) will again be front and centre. Even though prices may be down in some areas and certain types of homes, the price reductions are mainly due to increased interest rates and associated carrying costs. Therefore even where prices have dropped, affordability has not really been positively impacted.
2/ Pre-Construction:
Low pre-construction sales and project cancellations will affect future supply. In the short term, there are concerns about pre-construction buyers who purchased several years ago and will need assistance to close. There are no "hard" numbers (yet), but this could put some pressure on pricing and open up some inventory levels. There will be some pre-construction buyers that won't be able to qualify at the current rates, plus the stress test. For example, they now need quality at 7% vs the 2% when purchasing several years back.
Will there be opportunities for buyers to acquire Assignments? From Fox Marin's perspective, there may be great opportunities to acquire a brand-new condo on Assignment this year at a competitive price. Many original purchasers will have to qualify for a mortgage at higher interest rates PLUS the mortgage stress test. Additionally, pre-construction condos sold at record-breaking prices per square foot 2-3 years ago. With this in mind, many original Purchasers may be scrambling to close due to closing costs, potential carrying costs & mortgage qualification issues.
Lenders are also appraising units at lower prices, meaning that the buyer has to come up with extra funds to make up the difference between the smaller mortgage for a unit, based on the lower appraised price, and what the buyer agreed to pay.
3/ Ford Government Housing Policies:
a) More Homes, Built Faster Act – Basement apartments, garden houses or laneway homes can be built on a property and rented out to tenants without permits. Duplexes and triplexes could also be made on single residential lots, regardless of municipal zoning laws.
b) Ontario to Abandon Fees – including development charges, parkland dedication levies and community benefit charges—for affordable housing, non-profit housing and "inclusionary zoning units."
c) Non-Resident Speculation Tax on homes purchased by foreign nationals raised from 20 percent to 25 percent.
d) Greenbelt – The Ontario government has officially done away with environmental protections for approximately 2,995 hectares of Greenbelt land in Greater Toronto and Hamilton. In its decision, the Government said opening the land up for housing will lead to the construction of 50,000 new homes — part of its plan to build 1.5 million homes over the next decade to alleviate Ontario's severe housing shortage.
These aggressive policies from the Ford Government may take some pressure off on long-term supply issues but will have little to no impact in 2023.
4/ Geo-Political & Macro Uncertainty:
Headlines will continue to cover the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, inflation, US politics, China's slowdown and its move to greater state control, de-globalization and continued and increasing tensions between US & China. All splashy topics with the ability to affect the volatility and/or strength of market conditions in Canada and Investor confidence and sentiment.
5/ The City of Toronto Versus the GTA:
Expect the outskirts and suburbs to struggle, with pricing strengthening in the downtown core first. Home buyers need the convenience and lifestyle of city living, with many given the option to work in a hybrid model between office & home.
6/ Inflation:
Expect inflation to come down in 2023 but will remain stuck in the 2-4% range, which long term, will positively impact Real Estate prices upward. Government money printing and inflationary policies will continue to stimulate inflation beyond the 2% mark for some time.
7/ Vacant Home Tax:
An annual tax will be levied on vacant Toronto residences beginning in 2023. The City of Toronto's Vacant Home Tax (VHT) goal is to increase the housing supply by discouraging owners from leaving their residential properties unoccupied. Homeowners who choose to keep their properties vacant will be subject to this tax. According to the City of Toronto, Revenues collected from the Vacant Home Tax will be allocated toward affordable housing initiatives.
After five years of the Empty Home Tax (EHT) being in effect in Vancouver, the total number of vacant properties had fallen to 1,398 homes or 36% fewer properties compared to 2017, when the tax first launched. To date, the City of Vancouver's EHT has raised a total of $115M in revenue, largely directed towards grants for non-profit organizations to build new affordable housing buildings.
However, all the focus on speculation & foreign buyers did not prevent housing prices in Vancouver from rising significantly throughout the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to measure what impact this may have in both metropolitan cities.
8/ Alarming Headlines:
Assume you'll see Scary & Shocking news headlines in the first quarter of 2023! When the numbers come out, the media will be able to compare last year's numbers against this year's data. It's safe to predict that we will see headlines reporting a 20-30% drop in prices year over year. In fact, we anticipate February 2023 to be the most hair-raising, given that February 2022 was the height of the market. In a rapidly changing market constantly reacting to outside pressures, month-over-month data will become more relevant than a year-over-year comparison. Remember that the media does not often report month-to-month, and it's easy to make a headline look gut-wrenching when comparing last year's record-breaking first quarter to this year's anticipated slowdown. Expect this to balance out in the late spring.
Immigration & Its Long-Term Impact:
Most Canadians are now familiar with the Liberal Government's new immigration policy. In essence, the Government has increased the country's annual goal to 500,000 new residents yearly. To anyone who follows real estate in the GTA, it is apparent that this will significantly affect increasing demand in an already undersupplied marketplace. To give context to the significance of this policy, economist Ben Rabideaux, founder of North Cove advisors, recently Tweeted that after a record year of Canadian population growth, when taken into context, these numbers are staggering:
Current US population = 333M
Net population growth over the last 12 months = 944K
Current Canadian Population = 39M
*includes newborns, deaths, migrations and foreign students
These numbers equate to an increase in the Canadian population of 1,920 people per day. That's a mindblowing number! And a significant percentage of new immigrants opt to live in Toronto due to its multiculturalism, welcoming communities, wealth of jobs & abundant opportunities.
Do you think that immigration & growth may influence housing supply and demand? And that, in turn, would affect prices? You can bet on it!
An Expert's Perspective:
We recently attended an event where CIBC's Chief Economist, Benjamin Tal, spoke about the market at length.
Tal spoke directly about the upside to the Toronto housing market housing over the next five to ten years, referencing the city's market fundamentals and the pricing pressure long term.
Tal pointed to; a flood of high-income earning new residents immigrating to Toronto and substantial internal demand driven by millennials (7.9 million Canadians), all compounded by the fact that in the GTA, one-third of new projects this year have been cancelled.
Undoubtedly, the issue of being undersupplied will continue to be a significant factor and storyline over the coming decade.
Just give this some food for thought:
A report published in June 2022 by the CMHC (Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation) estimates that Ontario needs to build 2.4 M to 2.6 M new homes in the next nine years to restore housing affordability.
Yes, you read that correctly, 2.4 to 2.6 million! To provide some additional context, the province of Ontario completed only 670,00 new homes in the preceding decade. If you want to read more about this report, take a peek at my October 2022 article that dives deeper into this topic!
Advice for Buyers in 2023:
At the Benjamin Tal speaking engagement, someone in the crowd asked, "Benjamin, if your son or daughter was buying, what rate would you advise them to take"? Benjamin said he would recommend they go with the two-year fixed rate. He would suggest locking in for two years and then riding the variable rate train at the time of renewal.
And we at Fox Marin could not agree more.
This advice aligns with the adage that you marry the house but date the mortgage.
Make no mistake; there will be great opportunities for those in 2023 ready to take the plunge! Think about it – you will buy at the "market bottom" and, in a few years, ride the variable train 'down' while simultaneously riding the appreciation train 'up.' In fact, it's brilliant.
FM 2023 Toronto Real Estate Forecast:
It's not so much that interest rates rose 400 basis points in 2022; it is more about the speed at which rates rose, inducing market paralysis.
Over the last decade, the GTA's MLS System reports an average of 95,000 transactions per annum. In 2022, there were 75,000 transactions reported, down from a record-breaking year in 2021 at 125,000 transactions. An increase in demand will help to give way to greater price stability.
1/ Even at higher rates and anticipated price fluctuations, we project 85,000 total transactions. So, slightly up from last year but still below the 10-year average.
2/ We expect more of the same outlook for total available inventory (active listings on the market). Expect real estate listings to remain tight throughout 2023, especially in the back half of the year. Why would you list in a down market if you're not forced to sell?
3/ By year's end, in Toronto, we project resale prices to remain relatively flat, with a plus or minus of 3 percent over 2022 in both the housing and condo segments.
The last few years have taught us that in volatile times it's challenging to predict the near-term future; however, the further one can "zoom" out, the easier it becomes to see things more clearly. The bigger the picture you take, the easier it is to tune out the noise. We always go back to the basic fundamentals of supply and demand – and Toronto will see some sell-out shows & rockstar ticket prices in the not-so-distant future. Just wait.
Legendary investor Warren Buffet once stated, "If you wait for the robins, spring will be over." We can't help but think he was predicting the very future of the Toronto Real Estate Market!
