Chael Sonnen explains why it's hard to study tape on Fedor Emelianenko
When Fedor Emelianenko knocked out Frank Mir in the main event of Bellator 198 last weekend, he advanced to the second round of Bellator's exciting Heavyweight Grand Prix. The Russian legend, who is widely considered the best heavyweight in MMA history, will now battle Chael Sonnen sometime later this year.
Speaking on his podcast this week, Chael Sonnen weighed in on his legendary opponent. Suffice it to say that he's not as impressed by Emelianenko as most other fight fans are. In fact, Sonnen believes that Emelianenko's many wins in PRIDE — the very wins that made him a legend — were fixed.
"I don't accept your wins in Japan," Sonnen said of Fedor (transcribed by Jim Edwards for MMANytt). "The referee was wearing an earpiece, you never had a weigh-in, you never had a commission. Anyone that came over from Japan to America has a losing record. Why? I'll tell you because the fights over here are real and they are fixed in Japan."
"You got a whole lot of rub and a whole lot of money out of doing fake fights, that pisses me off as a fan who bought those fights and that later found out I was buying wrasslin'."
Sonnen continued, elaborating that Emelianenko probably didn't know his fights were fixed, but that they were nonetheless.
"Fedor would greatly be offended if I said that he had a fake fight," Sonnen said. "I have said this to [Mirko] "Cro Cop" [Filipovic] who was offended, he couldn't believe that I said it. Wanderlei Silva couldn't believe I said it, that guy is crazy."
"The guy that is going to go over in professional wrestling will sit down in the same room as the guy that's going to put him over and then work out the match. What they did in Japan was they only told one guy. So the guys that were going to win, your Cro Cop's, your Wanderlei's, your Fedor's, they were never in the room when the guy that was your promoter, also known as the Yakuza, also known as the Japanese mafia, walks in the room and tells the opponent when to go down."
"So when the guy goes down, the winner, Cro Cop, Wanderlei, Fedor, just for example, really thinks they won. So they don't know that the fix is in. Pretty soon they really think they can go beat 20 something guys in a row."
Sonnen then added that the questionable nature of Emelianenko's bouts make him a tough fighter to prepare for. It's not particularly fruitful to review fight footage, after all, if the outcomes of those fights were predetermined.
"I don't deny the guy has got skills, I don't deny that he's big and powerful and all these things," Sonnen said. "I'm not pissing on his skills at all. I'm just telling you that when I think about him it's very hard to go out and study him because his fights were fake in Japan. His opponent was told when to go down."
What do you think of Chael Sonnen's take on Fedor Emelianenko's incredible record?

About 1,600 industry (non-exhibitor) personnel, representing 110 forest products producer companies and hundreds of individual mill site operations, attended the third Timber Processing & Energy Expo held September 28-30 at the Portland Exposition Center.
The event, produced by Hatton-Brown Expositions, LLC—an affiliate of Hatton-Brown Publishers, Inc., Timber Processing and Panel World magazines—caters to primary producers of lumber, veneer-plywood and engineered wood products.
"Attendance from the mills was up about 10% from 2014, which we thought was solid considering the number of mill closures and consolidations in the Northwest during the past two years," comments Show Director Rich Donnell.
Attendees from 39 U.S. states, six Canadian provinces, and 20 countries besides the U.S. and Canada came to view 225 exhibiting companies on 60,000 sq. ft. of booth space.
The technology was everywhere and more big machinery was showcased than in previous events. It also included for the first time German and Italian pavilions featuring exhibitors from those countries.
Former Timber Processing Man of the Year, Jim Quinn, now Chairman of the Board and acting CEO of White Mountain Apache Timber Co. in Arizona, was making the rounds.
"The White Mountain Apache Timber Company is pretty far behind on technology and basically we need to replace our small log mill and include mechanical sorting on the next one. We also need a sorter for the Stetson Ross planer and we may want to do some mechanization in the log yard," Quinn says.
Quinn notes that the Tribe has more than 700,000 acres of very nice ponderosa pine. They currently operate a double cut headrig and a single cut headrig in the large log mill, and an aging double length infeed system in the small log mill. The mill operates two planer lines.
Many forest products companies and mills encouraged mill management and operators to attend TP&EE. Weyerhaeuser had 98 in attendance; Sierra-Pacific Industries, 66; Hampton, 46. Stimson Lumber, Alta Forest Products, Seneca, Idaho Forest Group, Roseburg and several other companies also sent large contingents.
Mike Pederson, president and CEO of Alta Forest Products, which operates several sawmills in the Northwest, said they attended for two reasons. One was to meet with an exhibitor to review the latest upgrades in automated planer grading. "But the main reason, and the reason for so many of our people there, is that I like to get our people away from the plant to see what is new and innovative within our industry. The show in Portland is a great venue for that," Pederson says.
Most exhibitors found that most attendees were upbeat and had investments in mind. Several machines had "sold" signs on them, such as a Gilbert planer going to Seneca Sawmill, a Samuel packaging system to Sierra-Pacific and a Corley carriage to Canfor-Beadles.
JoeScan introduced a six-laser, high-density carriage scanner, the JS-25 X6B.
MDI emphasized its TWA-2000-HD system that is used for scanning whole logs and received a lot of interest in this system from customers and distributors, as well as positive feedback from customers who are already running it in their sawmills.
Microtec set up its Goldeneye 900 multisensor board scanner and Springer screw feeder as well as a miniature of the E-Cut board trimmer.
USNR attracted considerable attention with its large booth that featured four vertically standing pieces of cross-laminated timber, each with one of the U-S-N-R letters sawn out. The company also emphasized its all-electric lumber handling equipment, displaying the ElectraTong Lug Loader and the Multi-Track Fence, of which more than 100 have sold since its inception several years ago.
A CamShift 600 Cambio debarker, new to the North American market, was also on display. The system combines debarking and flare reducing in a single, modular machine.
USNR also hosted a popular tent eatery in front of the expo hall.
Andritz showed its new powerheads (solid canter heads for primary and secondary canters) and its new Drum Style Chip-N-Saw heads for four-sided canters and profiler machines, as well as its new Turnknife System 4 for sawmill chippers.
BID Group and its range of companies presented three new products, including the Miller planer, McGehee profiling machine and the new generation of GradExpert.
Levesque says there was very high-quality people in attendance and many of those people were looking for short- and mid-term investments, upgrading their mill and operations to keep up the pace with the market.
One of BID Group's newer members, Ron McGehee, also spoke during the Lumber Manufacturing Workshop held on the second day of the show.
McGehee's talk on The Latest Profiling Technologies was one of 17 presentations during the Lumber Manufacturing Workshop, which had simultaneous sessions going on in adjacent rooms. Two-hundred people attended the workshops, bouncing from one room to the other, though most of them gathered for McGehee's presentation.
McGehee noted early in his talk that the objective of his profiling system is to improve productivity and recovery and reduce manufacturing costs. He pointed to a reduction of costs of $25/MBF in recent projects, an increase in production up to 25% and an increase in recovery of up to 3% in some mills.
He said the installation of the profiler means production is not limited by the edger anymore (up to 60% less boards going to the edger); most of the products from the gang are finished, and there's less downtime.
Profiling on a solid piece of wood like a cant at slower speed (600 FPM max) showed with time that edging accuracy is better than an edger going at 1200 FPM, McGehee stated. A typical payback on the profiler in a 150MMBF mill is just under eight months, he added.
McGehee said there are two typical arrangements: as a standard profiler, for gangs fed by belt conveyor by centering chain systems; and as an infeed profiler, for gangs fed by a centering chain system and where space is limited, with the unit replacing the existing curve-saw infeed module.
The profiler includes disc chipping heads for the surface finish, independent profiling heads with infinite positioning, and skew and slew movement.
Yvan Rainville, vice-president sales and marketing for Autolog, addressed the company's new modular scanner frame and also split & shake detection at the trimmer optimizer, using 3D identification.
He cited a case study at Tolko Lakeview on a 20 ft. trimmer optimizer with a "conservative payback of salvaged volume of approximately $168,000/year," and additional savings of $6,000 in drying costs, as well as increased performance at the planer, reduced blockage in downstream sorter and stacker, and improved sorting of high grade products at the sawmill.
He also addressed Autolog's unsound wood detection system, pointing to positive results at Forex on a 16 ft. trimmer optimizer with annual savings of $108,000 for a production of about 100MMBF. Benefits included reduced handling inside and outside the sawmill and increased chip quality, with savings of approximately $6,000 per year due to staying within chip value norm, $36,000 a year due to increased kiln capacity and decreased handling, and $66,000 annually due to increased planer capacity and decreased handling.
Michel Loyet, CEO of Finega Group of France, presented the company's new MasterTwin 3D end dogging log breakdown system. Prior to the cutting line, each log is scanned by a 360° rotary scanner which scans the full shape of the log during the cutting sequence of the previous log. An optimizer calculates the best sawing axis and cutting pattern in the 3D space based on mill production and value parameters.
Ellen Nelson, chief financial officer of Lucidyne, and Ryan Shear, lead optimization engineer, spoke on their GradeScan planer mill grader and said customers start seeing ROI in less than eight months while improving the consistency and overall quality of lumber.
They noted that its compact lineal design means that most mills make very few changes to their existing line, and installs in just two weekends with little or no downtime. They also addressed the GradeScan True-Q lumber tracking system, and warp detection.
They emphasized the GradeScan's tracheid sensor and T3 sensor. "If you can't see knots behind blue stain, you don't have a Lucidyne GradeScan," Nelson said.

This book is one I enjoyed because it is one of those sweet reads that warms your heart. As stated in the blurb Babe is experiencing her summer after high school. A time that should be filled with making all those "last time" memories before everyone goes their separate ways. Thanks to an awkward event involving her two best friends breaking up she finds herself going without their support.
One of the new people she gravitates to is summer boy Levi. Summer boys are ones that visit in the summer and once the season ends head off back to their regular life. From the beginning, she fights her feelings trying not to let him have too profound an effect on her so when he leaves at the end of summer she is unhurt emotionally.
This is an LGBT friendly romance as well as Babe speaks about how the previous year she had been in a relationship with fellow townie Elodie. All in all even though this is being published in the spring this is a great summer romance read. Though her back and forth mentally about Levi is a little bit tedious toward the end I found myself understanding that that is part of growing up. Changing your mind often in regards to the future is a hallmark of being that age. I hope if you decide to pick this book up that you enjoy it as much as I did.

Lord, help me surround myself with mature believers who will hold me accountable in all things, including my marriage.
This was a marriage prayer on The Marriage Bed's Facebook page last week. Today's sermon at church got me thinking about this, too.
One of our Elders did the sermon today on 1 Timothy 1:12-20 today. It was a reminder of the Gospel message, but also a message to Timothy not to give up on his faith.
1 Timothy 1:18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. 20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
How many shipwrecked marriages do you know of? How many couples have given up hope? How many believers have lost faith in their marriage, their spouse and their God? This Elder stressed to us that being a part of a church body, we should never have reason to lose our faith. He was celebrating his 34th wedding anniversary that day he preached. Another couple in our church had the exact same 34th wedding anniversary day, just a few hours later! In my church body, there are so many couples whose marriages have stood the test of time. His point was that marriage is hard. Marriage is work. There are going to be bad times as well as good times. If we come to a point where we are giving up our faith in our spouse, find someone, another married couple, to talk with. That is what your church body is for. I have made so many friends of different generations at this church, and we've only been there about a year and a half. It's home, and I do feel that if I ever had trouble in my marriage or if DH and I needed counseling, there are so many different people to choose from.
This coming Monday, Hubby and I will celebrate 18 years of marriage. Has it been easy? No. I was a refuser for 11 of those. It was only by God's grace and Hubby's patience that we made it through that, and here I am today advising you. Do you have a support system in your church where you can go for help if you needed it with your marriage? A couple that you can trust that you may come to find out has been there, done that and got the T-shirt. And they made it through. My parents, later this year will celebrate 48 years of marriage. Isn't that incredible? I am so proud of them. It's been hard. It's been a struggle in the past 4 years with three bouts of cancer, but they have stuck together like glue, and keep trudging forward. They have given me so much to learn from.
Has your faith been tested? Have you given up on God? Just know that he never gives up on you.


Driving intention has been widely used in intelligent driver assistance systems, automated driving systems, and electric vehicle control strategies. The accuracy, practicality, and timeliness of the driving intention identification model are its key issues. In this paper, a novel driver's braking intention identification model based on the Gaussian mixture-hidden Markov model (GHMM) and generalized growing and pruning radial basis function neural network (GGAP-RBFNN) is proposed to improve the identification accuracy of the model. The simplest brake pedal and vehicle speed data that are easily obtained from the vehicle are used as an observation sequence to improve practicality of the model. The data of the pressing brake pedal stage are used to identify the braking intention to improve the timeliness of the model. The experimental data collected from real vehicle tests are used for off-line training and online identification. The research results show that the accuracy of driver's braking intention identification model based on the GHMM/GGAP-RBFNN hybrid model is 94.69% for normal braking and 95.57% for slight braking, which are, respectively, 26.55% and 17.72% higher than achieved by the GHMM. In addition, the data of the pressing brake pedal stage are used for intention identification, which is 1.2 s faster than that of the existing identification model based on the GHMM.

Introducing New Website for Teens with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: JustLikeMeIBD.org
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (ccfa.org)
The number of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in the U.S. has now increased to an estimated 1.6 million, with approximately 5 percent of that patient population under the age of 18. In response to the growing number of kids with IBD, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) along with the NASPGHAN Foundation for Children's Digestive Health and Nutrition, has launched a new website called "Just Like Me" for teenagers with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
The interactive site will feature stories and videos from teens with IBD as well as information on school, dating, stress, diet, and research.
"Nearly one-fourth of people with IBD are diagnosed during the childhood or teenage years," says Rick Geswell, President and CEO of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. "This age group is particularly sensitive to emotional and social issues, so it was imperative that we create a safe space for these patients where they can get resources that help them manage their disease."
Some psychosocial issues that kids with IBD may be prone to are depression, anxiety, social isolation, altered self-image, family conflict, medication adherence problems and school absences. In general, kids and teens with IBD are concerned and affected by their:
Anger about IBD symptoms and treatment
Lack of control over school and extracurricular activities
"We are extremely delighted to be a part of the development of this new website along with CCFA," says Athos Bousvaros, Past President, North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.

Leave it to enterprising engineering students to develop a way to reduce lawn mower emissions.
A team of University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering students created a device that attaches to a lawn mower and significantly cuts its harmful emissions. With some design modifications, the device also could be used on leaf blowers, dirt bikes and snowmobiles, which the California Air Resources Board also has targeted for reduced emissions.
Although emissions from large engines, such as those in automobiles and trucks, are highly regulated, small engines usually are not subject to similar rules. That is changing, however, as studies show small engine devices produce between 100 to 1,000 times more emissions than automobiles over the same operating time.
The team of student, which calls itself NOx-Out, believes there is a market for the device from lawn mower manufacturers that are subject to new regulations in California. They also think there is a market for current lawn mower owners who could retrofit their existing gasoline-powered lawnmower with the device to create a more environmentally friendly lawn mower. As an added bonus, the device also reduces lawn mower noise and gasoline odors.
The team of students–Joshua Callihan, Rosalva Chavez, Jonya Blahut, Risa Guysi and Holly Clarke–recently won two first place awards at the WERC: A Consortium for Environmental Education and Technology Development competition in Las Cruces, N.M., run by the Institute for Energy & the Environment.
They shared a first place honor in one category and won first place in the peer award category, which is judged by students at the competition. In total, they won $2,250. Their adviser is Kawai Tam, a lecturer at the Bourns College of Engineering.
The students, who are all seniors and are all environmental engineering majors with the exception of Callihan (a chemical engineering major), created the device, which can be attached to a lawn mower in the place of the muffler. When they tested it at the Bourns College of Engineering Center for Environmental Research and Technology, it reduced these harmful pollutants: carbon monoxide by 87 percent; nitrogen oxides by 67 percent and particulate matter by 44 percent.
The idea for the device originated about a year ago. Chavez had a conversation with a member from a University of California Riverside team that won awards at last year's WERC competition. That team member mentioned that the judges were interested in small engine projects. Chavez thought of her father, who cuts lawns to earn extra money and had developed asthma, and wondered whether the two were linked.
After Chavez talked to her father, Blahut had a conversation with her father, who is a truck driver and recently had to retrofit his truck with a particulate matter filter. She wondered whether a similar filter could be attached to a lawn mower.
She and her teammates found out it could. The device they created is about six inches long. It consists of a filter, a glass jar that holds two ounces of urea solution, the original lawn mower muffler, which the students modified by packing with a catalyst they created, and a series of stainless steel nuts and bolts that connect everything and attached to the lawn mower muffler port.
The device can be thought of as a three-stage system. First, a glass quartz filter captures particulate matter. Then an ultra-fine spray of urea solution is dispersed into the exhaust stream. The urea spray primes the dirty air for the final stage, when a catalyst converts the harmful nitrogen oxide and ammonia into harmless nitrogen gas and water and releases them into the air.
The key to the process is the catalyst the students developed. The students do not want to identify what it is made of because it is a novel product that they are considering patenting. Similar catalysts have been developed for diesel fuel, but not for gasoline.
The students expect to sell the device for $30, which would also include a 16-ounce refill bottle of the urea solution and 10 quartz replacement filters. They plan to improve the design, however, by replacing the glass jar with another material that is less prone to breakage and designing and machining a single piece of stainless steel to replace the various nuts and bolts they currently have connected to form the device.
They are considering starting their own company to sell the device or selling the idea to a lawn mower manufacturer. The students say no similar aftermarket emission control device exists for lawn mowers.
The team sponsors were Watson Bros.; OXY USA Inc. LA Basin Asset; BPS – Long Beach, a UC Riverside Undergraduate Research Grant; University of California Riverside's College of Engineering Center for Environmental Research and Technology; Signal Hill Petroleum; Bill Summerfield, who works at Signal Hill Petroleum; and Don Clarke, Holly Clarke's father.
The team also received assistance from two University of California Riverside professors: David Cocker, a professor of chemical and environmental engineering, and Phil Christopher, an assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering.

Hispanic Heritage Month, Health Disparities, and NIDILRR Research: How are they connected?
Posted on October 14, 2016	by mpgarcia
For the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, we would like to share some information about health disparities experienced by Hispanics/Latinos with disabilities and how the NIDILRR community has worked to end those disparities. Disability affects every race and ethnic group, including those that are considered underserved or disadvantaged. Disadvantages such as low employment, lower wages, and lack of access to health care may lead people with disabilities in the Hispanic/Latino community to experience poorer health than individuals in other communities. The prevalence of disability does vary across racial and ethnic groups. According to the 2010 US Census, 17.8% of Hispanics/Latinos reported having a disability and are second to the 22.2% of African Americans that have disabilities. Causes of health disparities for Hispanics/Latinos with disabilities include socioeconomic factors, barriers in the social and built environment, access to preventive health-care services, and access to affordable health insurance. About 15.3% of all Hispanics/Latinos in the US have some type of disability and are affected by what has been labeled as "preventable causes of disability."
We have a clearer picture of health disparities, thanks to research in statistics and demographics driven, in part, by laws like the Affordable Care Act. For example, the data from the 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Systems shows that about 50% of Hispanics/Latinos with a disability rated their health status as fair or poor, in comparison with the 41.5% of non-Hispanic, white people with disabilities. According to the 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report, Hispanics are diagnosed with conditions like diabetes at nearly double the rate of non-Hispanic whites, and those with peripheral arterial disease and diabetes are more likely to have an amputation due to their conditions than non-Hispanic whites.
Age-related and non-preventable disabilities, such as intellectual and developmental disabilities, also impact the Hispanic/Latino community differently. For example, life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has gone up to 60 years on average, but researchers have found that life expectancy for Hispanics with Down syndrome is much shorter. Hispanics aging into disability also experience more health problems and limitations than non-Hispanic whites. One study from the "Assets in Health Dynamics of the Oldest Old" found that nearly 17% of older Hispanics/Latinos over the age of 70 had lost their ability to perform personal tasks such as eating and that 23% of older Hispanics/Latinos were more likely than whites to have difficulty performing household tasks such as preparing meals.
How does NIDILRR help to close the gap? By funding projects such as:
The Research Rehabilitation and Training Center (RRTC) on Psychiatric Disability and Co-Occurring Medical Conditions (90RT5012) at the University of Illinois conducts several projects that help identify and reduce health disparities among people with psychiatric disabilities. While conducting these projects, the RRTC also promotes wellness and recovery, enhances employment outcomes, and provides targeted education and training.
The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center: Individual-Level Characteristics Related to Employment among Individuals with Disabilities (IC-RRTC) at the Kessler Foundation Research Center generates new knowledge specific to the economic disparities of people with disabilities and the function of individual characteristics. They build upon evidence-based research to help improve strategies and interventions for attaining better employment outcomes for the subpopulations of people with disabilities.
Although the Center on Health Outcomes Research and Capacity Building for Underserved Populations with SCI and TBI (90DP0004) has completed its research activities, it helped build the capacity of institutions that provide support of underserved populations by realizing two innovative studies, providing capacity building, and providing technical assistance.
We searched REHABDATA and found several articles that discuss disparities and Hispanics with disabilities and disparities and Latinos with disabilities. Here is just a sample:
Racial-ethnic disparities in outpatient mental health visits to U.S. physicians, 1993-2008 (J68127) discusses a study that looked at the racial-ethnic differences in the use of mental health treatment for a wide range of disorders. The study found that visit prevalence ratios for Hispanics for any disorder were .58 for Hispanics. The study also found that Hispanics were treated less frequently for several disorders than whites. These disorders include bipolar 1, impulse control, autism spectrum, and personality disorders. However, they were treated more frequently for drug use disorders.
Cardiometabolic changes and disparities among persons with spinal cord injury: A 17-year cohort study (J68672) discusses a study that identified the significance of the changes of the biomarkers in diabetes and cardiometabolic syndrome in people aging with spinal cord injury (SCI). The study found that the biomarkers were related to the demographics of race/ethnicity and gender. The findings of the study suggest that guidelines for clinical practice need to be individualized for women and Hispanics.
Racial and ethnic disparities in employment outcomes for persons with traumatic brain injury: A longitudinal investigation 1-5 years after injury (J63750) describes a study that analyzed the differences in competitive employment rates in Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics with traumatic brain injury (TBI) at several intervals after injury. The study found that the odds of competitive employment were significantly higher for Whites at 1, 2, and 5 years after injury in comparison to African Americans and were also higher for whites after 1 and 2 years after injury in comparison to Hispanics. However, the researchers did not find that changes in employment rates over time were hugely different among race/ethnicity groups.

Today, Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells unveils an original song by Alexis Krauss and the Our Land Collective. Entitled "Our Land," the song was recorded in response to President Trump's assault on our National Monuments and Parks. All proceeds from the sale of the song and released merchandise (via partners Bandcamp and Revolutions Per Minute) will directly fund Utah Diné Bikéyah's legal effort to reinstate protection for the entire Bears Ears National Monument. Utah Diné Bikéyah is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works to preserve the culturally significant ancestral lands of indigenous communities.
The song, written by Krauss and co-produced by Krauss, Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells), and Chris Vultaggio, features contributions by activist Josh Fox, Springtime Carnivore's Greta Morgan, and additional vocals by Tunde Olaniran among others. Full credits for the song are below.
The song also features a companion video, filmed in Bears Ears, UT, which was, co-produced by Krauss and photographer/producer Chris Vultaggio, and includes notables from the music, outdoors, and activism communities, including Karen O, Maggie Rogers, Edward Sharpe, Sunflower Bean, Josh Fox, Hey Flash Foxy, Robbie Bond of Kids Speak For Parks, and more. A full list of the video's participants are below.
LISTEN, WATCH and SUPPORT 'OUR LAND' HERE.
"Inspired by my love of wild spaces and in response to President Trump's assault on our national monuments, I wrote 'Our Land' as a protest song. The song led to a collaborative recording session and quickly developed into a film project, in partnership with professional photographer/producer Chris Vultaggio. Chris and I set out for Utah in efforts to expand the project and tell the story of Bears Ears and its people.
From deep canyons to towering mesas we were captivated by the overwhelming beauty of these threatened lands. However, the struggle is about more than just protecting breathtaking views, it is about respecting and conserving thousands of years of Native American history and culture. These lands are sacred not just because they are rich in archaeological heritage, but because they are a living breathing landscape actively relied upon as a source for sustaining a way of life: food harvesting, medicine gathering, grazing, wood hauling, spiritual healing, and communing with ancestry.
The current administration sees fit to trade these lands for resource extraction. Native communities are contending with yet another threat, not only to their lands but to their health, well-being, and way of life. This is but one more humiliation to bear by an already beleaguered people, sadly all too familiar with systemic abuse and institutionalized exploitation.

Director: Ylva Söderfeldt

Co-ordinator: Erika Sigvardsdotter, on leave until 1 September 2022.

About The Centre for Medical Humanities
Ylva Söderfeldt
Interview with Ylva Söderfeldt, Director of the Centre for Medical Humanities. Maria Björkman interviewed.
The Centre for Medical Humanities has been operative since the Fall semester 2020. What has been your focus during this time?
Our focus has been to develop our contacts with the involved disciplinary domains, faculties and departments at the university, to cultivate our role as a medical humanities node where researchers can find one another. Issues relating to medicine and health, the body and its conditions, as well as how we deal with and interpret them, are explored within several disciplines. Several researchers around the university work on similar issues without knowing about each other's work. Hopefully, the CMHS can contribute to the initiation of interdisciplinary research collaborations, giving better conditions for taking on research questions that require more than one discipline.
Why are the medical humanities important?
My starting point is that medicine is not pure hard science. Rather, medicine – both as a science and practice – encompasses natural science, social science and humanities. It important that it is reflected in research and education. Further, medicine as a knowledge-culture and system has gained a very prominent position within our society and culture, making scrutiny of medical issues in the humanities and social sciences crucial. That way, we may be able to better understand one of the most dominant areas of knowledge in our society.
What are, according to you, the most important challenges that we face and where medical humanities can contribute to finding solutions?
I think that would be equality, in the local, national as well as global contexts. We have a situation where the medical sciences produce extremely advanced treatments in some areas, while some treatments that we have had access to for generations, are still not available to all. Further, we find that social injustices are to a large extent mirrored in injustices in health. This has become especially noticeable during the corona pandemic. To find solutions to the big health challenges in the world, we cannot limit our attention to only laboratories and clinics – we must include society as a whole.
Elinor Hållén
I work as coordinator for the Centre for medical humanities since November 2021 and I enjoy the great variation of tasks and responsibilities that my work offers. I create meetings for and contribute to collaborations between researchers working in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, care, the humanities and social sciences by developing networks, arranging cross-disciplinary seminars in medical humanities and in contributing to the development of our research school. Part of our mission is to awaken interest and inspire dialogue on topics relating to medical humanities in the wider community which we, for example, aim to do in our pod Sanatoriet.
My field is philosophy. I defended my dissertation on self-deception in 2011 and much of my research borders on psychology. I have investigated how and on what grounds delimitations are made between the normal and the pathological, the rational and the irrational within certain theory formations in these disciplines and what implications such delimitations have on our understanding of the human soul, or the mental. Anxiety holds a central place in my studies of self-deception and becoming conscious. I am planning a project that studies anxiety in groups of people that find themselves in situations where the possibilities for influence and agency is low. Existentialism and 19th Century existentialist philosophy forms the theoretical framework for the investigation.
Erika Sigvardsdotter
As coordinator at the Centre for medical humanities, I organize seminars, and help researchers within different faculties and disciplines connect and collaborate – all within the field of medical humanities. My doctoral research in human geography concerned the condition of undocumentedness in a Swedish context, using access to health care as the key empirical example. Since then, I have been active in the border lands between social science and health sciences. My research has concerned the understandings of mental health among people involved in integration initiatives, and trauma history among refugee groups.
Maja Bodin
I am a registered nurse and midwife, and also hold a master's degree in global health. In May 2018, I defended my interdisciplinary dissertation (medicine / gender) on pregnancy planning and fertility, with a focus on men's knowledge and thoughts about reproduction. During 2019-2020, I studied fertility knowledge and reproductive decision-making as a postdoctoral fellow at Malmö University. I collected my data through focus group discussions with people in ages spanning 17-90.
As a Beijer-postdoc at the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Sciences, I conduct a research project on experiences of regretting parenthood. In the project, I study how regret is expressed in online forums, and in interviews. I also interview professionals working in family counseling and child health care. on their meetings with parents who regret having children. The overall purpose of the project is to gain an increased understanding of what it means to regret parenthood in a Swedish context. I will analyze the material from an interdisciplinary perspective in which medical, psychological, historical, gender, and sociological perspectives are interwoven.
Luis de Miranda
Luis de Miranda, Beijer-postdoc from January 2021, is working on the late modern and contemporary rediscovery of philosophy as a way towards health. From the Romantic philosophical-medicine movement to today's revival of philosophical counselors, our modernity is reenacting the Ancient ideal of a philosophically-minded practice that would beneficially impact our individual and social bodies. What is the genealogy of the current hope that philosophical health might be as important as physical health? A researcher that often articulates intellectual history and philosophy, Luis recently published a transnational genealogy of the concept of esprit de corps (Ensemblance, Edinburgh University Press, 2020) and a philosophical history of neon signs (Being & Neonness, MIT Press, 2019). He also worked and published in the field of philosophy of artificial intelligence. Trained in philosophy and the history of ideas (Master at the Sorbonne and PhD at Edinburgh University), Luis is a latecomer to academia, having worked as an independent author and publisher in Paris between 1997 and 2012. He is the author of a dozen books (essays and novels) translated into several languages, including Swedish (Vem Dödade Poeten?, Palaver Press, 2019; AI och Robotar, Tukan, 2019). Luis is also trained as a Lacanian psychoanalyst and is a practising member of the SSFP (Svenska Sällskapet för Filosofisk Praxis). Since 2018, he offers occasional counseling at The Philosophical Parlour in Stockholm in partnership with Livslinjen Terapi, an empirical setting in which for example he offered philosophical coaching to managers of the multinational Vattenfall. Asked about his hopes about the Center for Medical Humanities, Luis said: "It is exciting to be part of a team that is helping to actualise and give more visibility to a stream of research that has been for long an asset of the department of history of science and ideas. At a time where citizens are wondering what is and how to lead a healthy life in a healthy society, interdisciplinary research on the matter is acutely needed."
Mirko Pasquini
I am a Medical Anthropologist and, since April 2022, International Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Medical Humanities (CMH). My research project, "Mistrust in practice: an ethnography of suspicion in general medical practice in the aftermath of COVID-19", was awarded in 2021 a three-years International Postdoc Grant from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). The project documents the dynamics of mistrust in situated healthcare interactions that unfold between patients and general practice doctors (GPs) in Italy in the aftermath of COVID-19. The study highlights mistrust as not just the absence or lack of trust, but as an interactional resource and a force in its own right. In so doing, the project will contribute to debates about the "crisis of trust" in the healthcare sector. This work will provide timely information and analysis that will help us understand the complexity of mistrust in times of health crises.
I defended my Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology in May 2021, and I was part of the Engaging Vulnerability research program (EV) headed by anthropologist Don Kulick. My work, "The Negotiation of Urgency: Economies of Attention in an Italian Emergency Room", has been awarded the annual Westinska Prize (2021) for outstanding dissertation by the Royal Society of Humanists at Uppsala University.In my dissertation, I ethnographically explored the everyday life of an Italian Emergency Room as a place where urgency is at stake; caught up in and contested, by competing understandings concerning existential, social and economic precarity. The ER is described as a place of conflict and creative reinvention, where productive negotiations of more equitable ways to distribute care take place amid ER staff and suffering people struggling for social justice.
Since 2018, I am engaged in health workers' training in "Structural Competency", a recent innovation in medicine's understanding of and responses to social and health inequalities, to increase professionals' awareness of structural determinants of health and care access.

You may have wondered where SV has been lately?
Well I have been up north, shooting a high end W.A. fashion story, of course!
Amazingly I managed to convince world renowned photographer Thomas Kerr www.thomkerr.com and fashion make-up darling Rebekah Clark to shoot with me in The Pinnacles, W.A.
I sent Thom, who currently resides in New Zealand, my proposal to do a high-end W.A fashion shoot for editorial – to make some beautiful art and highlight some of the amazing talent we have here in W.A. To use items from Ruby Mariani's 'Seduisant et Repousant' collection and show the rest of the world my vision of Western Australia being a respected fashion capital. And to my utter surprise, Thom agreed!!!!
After that W.A. make-up artist Rebekah Clark came on board. Rebekah's work is also renowned internationally and Australia wide, having worked on campaigns for Wheels and Dollbaby, Illonaire and been responsible for making-up none other than 'The Body'. We then found our model in Sarah Pauley from Viviens – she was fantastic and perfect due to her otherworldy look and statuesque figure.
Thanks to Ruby Mariani's awe inspiring collection and her constant inspiration, I styled each look and borrowed pieces from Dilettante, Jewellery designer Max Ball at Purist Gallery, Joynt Venture and Risque Adult Shop (stipper heels that is) and before I knew it Thom had flown over from N.Z.and we were all on a road trip up north.
Take a sneak peak here at the behind-the-scenes action.
Thom and Sarah Inside Regans Ford Windmill Roadhouse.
It was so cool there. If you ever manage to get up this way you should definitely make a stop. It is just before a town called Cataby and is off Brand Hwy.
It has some hilarious 1950's country petrol station memorabilia. The lady who owns it is hilarious also, lovin' it taking the piss out of city people – but in an affectionate way.
Gambling, teal bandandas and white shades. Thom and Rebekah working country chic!
The never ending story! Travelling 550Kms in one day is a task in itself!
There was such suspense driving to The Pinnacles. You wait and wait to arrive and then all of a sudden you drive straight into the yellow sand and the rock formations are all around you – AMAZING! Upon entry we were greeted by a wild family of Emus.
Sarah waiting in the shade before make-up.
Sitting in the air-conditioning was much more appropriate.
I love Rebekah's raw use of make-up. She enhances the natural elements of the model's features allowing them to shine through whilst giving it a tough, yet natural appearance. It was exactly what we were going for with this shoot as we were all exploring the juxtaposition of dark and light, tough and soft, Seduisant et Repousnat (allure and respulsion).
Ruby Mariani hair cape, A.F. Vandervorst boots and Vivienne Westwood hooded shirt from Dilettante www.dilettante.com.au and Twinkle Twinkle jewellery by Max Ball @ Purist Gallery.
The wind was ridiculous and as the day went on we ended up in a sand storm.
Ahh what we do for high fashion!
This shot was taken before I put the shoes on. Standing in 5 inch heels on sand is not easy.

Predicting the NFL Playoff Spots
John Harbaugh Discusses Controversial 2-Point Decisions Following Loss to Packers
Michael Bentzen
Already, the first quarter of the 2016 NFL season has passed by, bringing along another season of upsets, blowouts, and comebacks. Teams are finding their identity, and good teams are separating from bad. The season is still young, and the playoffs are still very far away.
The Baltimore Ravens have a 3-1 record after dropping their first loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
The Ravens fought until the final minute, but were unable to pull off a victory like their previous three games. Here are my main points.
Return Of The Run Game. It's been a while since the Ravens' run game has kept the offense in a game like it did against Oakland. Terrence West made his first start of the season, with Buck Allen as his back up instead of Justin Forsett. West ran wild in the second half, finishing the day with 113 yards and his first touchdown as a Raven. With Kenneth Dixon on the verge of returning, the Ravens look to have a solid 1-2 punch down the road.
Steve Smith Sr. Returning To Form. Last year in Week Two against Oakland, Smith Sr. rebounded from a weak showing from the previous week, and continued on a tear until a season-ending injury in Week Seven. Smith Sr. has improved in each game this season, with his best game again coming against Oakland's suspect secondary. Smith Sr. finished the day with eight catches for 111 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Stout Defense. Yes, the defense gave up four touchdown passes to Derek Carr. Including a go-ahead touchdown on the Raiders final drive. The offense didn't put the defense in much position to succeed all day, yet the defense only gave up 261 total yards. The run defense has been dominant in every game this season, and looks like it will be a strong force throughout the year. A big part of Dean Pees' defense has been a bend-but-not-break philosophy. It doesn't always work, but the Ravens have to be happy with their defensive performance this season.
Offense Comes Alive In Second Half. Joe Flacco's offense has been susceptible to slow starts all throughout his career. He has also been known to turn the lights on in the second half, and the offense was in position to win in the final minutes if not for a failed fourth down conversion attempt late. The Ravens scored all three of their touchdowns after half time, which is better than not heating up at all. If the Ravens can figure out a way to heat up earlier, this will be a scary offensive squad to pair with a great defense.
What I Didn't Like
Weak Offensive Game Plan. Common sense would presume that with a quarterback like Joe Flacco, and receivers like Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman, the Ravens would at least attempt to pass it deep multiple times a game. Terrence West's career game should've opened up a deeper passing game than it did yesterday. Apart from a 52-yard catch-and-run by Smith Sr., Baltimore's longest passing play only made it 17 yards.
Weak Pass Blocking. The Raiders spent a lot of money in the offseason to upgrade their pass rush, which paid dividends in Baltimore. On a day when two starters were missing and the run game took off, Baltimore's pass blocking put Flacco in risky positions. The scary reality is that the Ravens are now relying on two banged up rookies to protect Flacco as the season goes on.
Giving Up The Lead Late. Baltimore fought back from down 11 points in the second quarter, and 9 in the fourth. They pulled forward for their first lead of the game with 3:36 seconds after the West touchdown. The Raiders' offense answered quick with a late touchdown, and Baltimore failed on a final drive. The defense has been great through four games, but it can't be relied on every game to win at the end. The offense needs to do more, and stop dropping passes, late.
No Pressure On Carr. As well as with the pass rush, Oakland spent big money on its offensive line this offseason with the pick-up of ex-Baltimore guard Kelechi Osemele. The Ravens recorded zero sacks or QB hits on Derek Carr. Even against an above average offensive line, Dean Pees needs to get creative with his blitzing. He certainly has the personnel to be able to.
No Turnovers. After five interceptions in two weeks, Baltimore's secondary did not record a turnover and gave up four touchdowns. Shareece Wright was picked on the entire day by Michael Crabtree, who brought down three of Carr's four TDs. The defense needs more turnovers if Baltimore wants to win games behind a conservative offense, especially at home.
Overall Opinion
Yes, Baltimore lost at home after giving up a late six-point lead. But this is no reason for concern. The Raiders are not a weak team like they were for much of the past 15 years. The Ravens fought hard all game, and ultimately came out on the wrong end of the stick. Baltimore has work to do, as all teams do at this point, if they want to make a run for the post season. The team must find a concrete identity on offense to pair with an opportunistic defense. Baltimore has three winnable games before their bye week to figure it out before the schedule becomes remarkably tougher.
Week Five Preview
The Washington Redskins will make the trek up I-95 for road contest in Baltimore next week. The Redskins are coming off of two straight wins, but Baltimore will have extra motivation not to fall into a losing streak against their inner-state rivals. The Redskin's defense presents Baltimore's offense with a good opportunity to get on track this week. Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley, and Timmy Jernigan will look to bounce back against an inferior offense and improve Baltimore to 4-1 before two road games in New Jersey.

Q: Got exception: fragment already active I have a fragment;
MyFragment myFrag = new MyFragment();

I put bundle data to this fragment:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("TEST", "test");
myFrag.setArguments(bundle);

Then, I replace old fragment with this one and put on backstack:
//replace old fragment
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_placeholder, myFrag, "MyTag");
//put on backstack
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
//commit & get transaction ID
int transId = fragmentTransaction.commit();

Later, I pop backstack with the above transaction ID(transId):
//pop the transaction from backstack
fragmentManager.popBackStack(transId,FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);

Later, I set bundle data as argument again to my fragment(myFrag):
//Got Java.lang.IllegalStateException: fragment already active
myFrag.setArguments(bundle);

As you see, my above code got exception Java.lang.IllegalStateException: fragment already active . I don't understand why myFrag is still active though I have popped the transaction of it from backstack., anyhow, since I got the exception I thought I have no choice but de-active the fragment, So, I did:
Fragment activeFragment = fragMgr.findFragmentByTag("MyTag");
fragmentTransaction.remove(activeFragment);

I am not sure if my above code really can de-active the fragment, since I didn't find how to de-active an fragment. :(
After that, when I try to set bundle data to my fragment myFrag again, I still got the same error:
Java.lang.IllegalStateException: fragment already active

Seems even I removed the fragment, it is still active...Why? How to de-active a fragment?

A: Reading the setArguments(Bundle args) source will help you understand:
/**
* Supply the construction arguments for this fragment.  This can only
* be called before the fragment has been attached to its activity; that
* is, you should call it immediately after constructing the fragment.  The
* arguments supplied here will be retained across fragment destroy and
* creation.
*/
public void setArguments(Bundle args) {

    if (mIndex >= 0) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Fragment already active");
    }
    mArguments = args;
}

You cannot use setArguments(Bundle args) again in your code on the same Fragment. What you want to do I guess is either create a new Fragment and set the arguments again. Or you can use getArguments() and then use the put method of the bundle to change its values.

A: Try removing the previous fragment before adding the new one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6266144/969325

A: remove() change fragment status to de-actiive. In your case, you just didn't call commit() after remove(..).
fragmentTransaction.remove(activeFragment);

You would do commit() after remove(), too.
fragmentTransaction.remove(activeFragment).commit();

A: Had the same issue. I was adding the fragment to backstack. And the error was because I didn't call popbackstack(). Using popbackstack helped me

A: I'm running into the same issue on Xamarin.android. Here's what the documentation says.

This can only be called before the fragment has been attached to its activity

A: Just call public method from fragment
if(userFragment==null){
                    userFragment = new UserFragment();
                    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
                    bundle.putString(Constants.EXTRA_CUSTOMER, result);
                    userFragment.setArguments(bundle);
                }else{
                    try {
                        Customer customer = new Customer();
                        customer.parseCustomer(new JSONObject(result));
                        userFragment.updateVeiw(customer);
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

A: First I start with describing why this happens and then I'll come up with the solution I found working... .
This issue happens when Android is removing the fragment from the stack but is not yet finished with removing. In order to check this, you can use the isRemoving() method of the fragment. If false, i.e. the fragment is not active, you can go on with setting the arguments using setArguments(bundle). Otherwise, you can't set arguments to an already active fragment and can only override it by addressing the same arguments using getArguments().putAll(bundle).
To summarize,
    if (myFrag.isRemoving()) {
        myFrag.getArguments().putAll(bundle);
    } else {
        myFrag.setArguments(bundle);
    }

If you want to avoid this, i.e. removing the fragment at once so there is no active fragment, you might want to use onBackPressed() in onBackStackChangedListener(), which will set the isRemoving() to false.

A: *

*Check whether your layout current one or old one for example
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

*Delete old .gradle file in your project file and rebuild gradle file for project.

Kids naturally want to be creative. That's the easy part. The hard part is for parents to think of ways to foster creativity. The good thing is that there are many easy craft ideas for kids.
Kids love birthdays. They love their own birthdays and they love celebrating other people's birthdays. Keep up this enthusiasm by having your child make a birthday card for a friend or family member.
Any paper will do, but construction paper or card stock will work the best. Fold the paper in half. Let your child decorate with markers and stickers. If your child can't write yet, have them tell you a message and you can write it out. If your child is learning his letters, have him sign his name or print the first letter of his name on the card.
If the birthday card is for someone out of town, be sure to include your child in addressing the envelope. This way they get to understand about addresses and stamps.
Little creatures delight children. Inspire this fascination by creating a bird house or fairy house. Pre-made wooden houses can be found at any craft store. Have your child accompany you so that they can pick out their favorite style.
Once home, set out some paint and brushes, and have your child decorate. Be sure to pick acrylic paint that can withstand the elements as these houses will be outside. Don't worry, as the paint will still wash off little hands. However, when using acrylic paint, be sure to wear a protective smock over children's clothes.
Once the houses have dried, find a place to hang them. Some parks have fairy groves that you can add to. If not, find a tree branch or corner of your yard for the new home.
Hand print art is a great way to personalize just about everything. Plus, children get to paint with their hands, which is always a bonus. There are varying degrees of creativity that can result from hand print art. But all are easy craft ideas.
You can keep it super simple and put hand prints, your child's name, and age on a paper or card as a memento. You can put hand prints on a rock for a garden. This is a great yearly activity and can be the perfect Mother's Day or Father's Day gift tradition.
Hand prints can form a lot of different shapes including flowers, moose antlers, and even rainbows. Really, there is an endless amount of uses for hand print art.
If you want to step it up a notch, you can add foot prints into the mix. Baby feet are adorable, and a cute way to memorialize just how tiny they used to be.

Charleston is known for its rich history, well-preserved architecture, distinguished restaurants and mannerly people. The Tri-County Charleston metropolitan area includes Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties. The Tri-County area has a strong broad-based economy with market drivers including education, entertainment, healthcare, manufacturing, military defense, port-related trade, technology and tourism. Orangeburg County has become an extension of the Tri-County region and is home to aerospace and auto manufacturing. The region has experienced unprecedented growth and economic diversification, with both multinational corporations and fast-growing startups taking advantage of our globally competitive business environment and rapidly expanding, diverse population.
The area's diverse economic mix is a combination of one of the busiest container ports along the Southeast and Gulf coast, known as South Carolina Ports; a $3+ billion tourism industry; one of the Southeast's most impressive medical hubs; a well-established base of national and international manufacturers, and a large military presence.
Companies continue to locate here to capitalize on the high-quality workforce, low taxes and quality of life. Arts, recreational and cultural opportunities are abundant, including museums, music, dance and theater, as well as water sports, golf, hunting, fishing, horseback riding and other activities. Abundant restaurant offerings have made Charleston one of the culinary capitals of the world. The area is consistently recognized as one of the top travel and tourist destinations on the globe.
Biotechnology inventions from four universities and the Medical University of South Carolina create an opportunity for growth in this sector. The digital revolution is also alive and well with multiple public and private companies operating in the space sector. This vibrant and energetic dimension of the community attracts young and exciting talent to the region. The Charleston region is positioned to continue its growth throughout the 21st Century.
South Carolina's unemployment rate is at 3.9%, a 17-year low, while the Greater Charleston region (which includes Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties) registered 3.7% in 2017. The tightening labor pool is a result of strong industrial growth within the region, spurring jobs across diverse sectors that include technology, auto manufacturing, aerospace and tourism.
The Port of Charleston is expanding with the Hugh K. Leatherman, Sr. Terminal currently under construction. The terminal is due for completion in 2020 and will nearly double capacity when combined with the existing terminals. The Port of Charleston processed a record 1.21 million TEUs in fiscal-year 2017 and continues to fuel a growing local job base.
The state of the region's office market is best described in one word: change. While challenging, change is bringing exciting opportunities to this burgeoning market. Construction of multiple large-scale, mixed-use developments began in 2017 – several of which will come to market in 2018, adding considerably to the office inventory. Vacancy rates are expected to fluctuate in 2018 as absorption takes hold.
These new arrivals offer office tenants a dynamic, vibrant and convenient working environment well-suited to recruit qualified employees. To remain competitive, existing office property owners should consider investing in and enhancing their properties as the competition improves.
The Greater Charleston region's industrial market grew in 2017 to include Orangeburg County – in part a consequence of both Volvo's and Mercedes-Benz Vans' plants coming online in 2018. Combined, these facilities will total 5 msf and create more than 5,000 new jobs. This activity has initiated a surge of automotive suppliers looking to enter the market, which in turn is driving developers and investors to construct speculative projects in an array of sizes and configurations.
The result will be strong economics and demand in 2018 and for the foreseeable future. Vacancy rates have inched upward as new large products are delivered, slightly outpacing absorption; however, asking rents are stable and increasing quickly in the under-50,000-sf size range. The market should see the delivery of an additional 2 msf-plus of class A distribution space and some repositioning of older products to support the growing manufacturing sector.
Retail has grown quickly throughout the Charleston region as new shopping center developments follow the multi-family and single-family housing boom fueled by the transformation of the region's economy from service-based to science-and-technology-based. In addition, tourism continues to flourish.
Many new and exciting retail projects are on the horizon for 2018. Upcoming projects are spread throughout the region and include grocers and large mixed-use developments.
While long attractive to local investors, Charleston is now considered one of the top 25 best-performing large cities in the U.S., according to the Milken Institute. Institutional stakeholders have taken notice as the market's growing employment base, rising wages and diversified economy have fostered confidence and lowered risk, driving investment to the area and compressing capitalization rates. This trend will likely continue through 2018 and beyond.

However, the city is surrounded by some beautiful countryside, with many footpaths and bridleways, also ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.
Ashford International station and the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone are both about 14 miles away and provide regular Eurostar and shuttle services to the continent whilst the nearby A2/M2 motorway provides good access to both London and the Channel port of Dover.
