Poop Card Game Overview
It's has been an ongoing debate on the internet as to the meaning of that brown, triangular-shaped emoji. Don't ask me why, but Kennedy has long been fascinated by it and regularly points out the paraphernalia whenever she sees the brown emoji at a store or for sale somewhere online.
She's so amazed by it that she entered a contest to win a whole bunch of it at Gen Con. As such, she now lays on it, steps in it and has it cover her head. Does she think it's ice cream? Not likely since she met Blaise Sewell, the guy who brought it to Gen Con to promote his game.
Poop.
It's poop, people.
The emoji is poop and so is his game.
Now, before you get your panties in a bunch, I'm not disparaging his name nor creation. Yes, we have come across several games we are not fond of, but that isn't the case here. His game is literally Poop.
It's funny to say and funny to play and your kids will get a kick out of the fact that the family is playing a potty-mouth game. No, not swearing. Just a lot of talk about toilets and farts and flushing and… poop. If you're curious whether your kids can play it the answer is yes. While it has variations targeted more toward adults, the base game is very family-friendly. If they can grasp the concept of Uno, they can play Poop the Game. It's a card-based game published by Breaking Games where the goal is to be the first to get rid of everything in your hand. First person to empty their hand wins.
At the beginning of each round, a toilet card is placed in the center of the table. Each toilet card displays the amount of poop that it can hold before it overflows. Players take turns relieving themselves (of poop cards) ranging in amount. As in real life, nobody wants to be the person to overflow the toilet so do what you can to hold back the really big loads, err cards, that are going to be the final blowout.
Thankfully, there are ways to remove the mess. You know, flush it. When a 3rd card of consecutive color is played, that person flushes the toilet and replaces it with a new one. Every other player is required to draw an additional card. If that sounds too easy, don't worry. There are different variations of the game that make these types of tasks a little more difficult to accomplish.
There's more to the Poop The Game than just dropping a deuce in the toilet. We all know there's a right and wrong direction to the way the toilet paper is hung. Wild cards are included to give the game even more variety and one of those is a reverse card represented by the roll. Other wild cards require players to act out or sound out certain actions on their turn. I'm not a fan of these types of juvenile actions, but since we're playing Poop and laughing, it's kind of the least juvenile thing happening.
While the subject matter is silly, we've found that sometimes you need to play a game that doesn't require a lot of strategizing and this one fits that bill. As a bonus, the game includes a variety of alternatives to the game to make it more difficult or more entertaining. One such example is the drinking version. One of the most intriguing things about the game is the available paper bag. It's designed with shipping in mind so you can ship a bag of Poop to a friend… or foe.
Poop The Game takes about 15 minutes and accommodates 2-5 players. Add the separate "Poop The Game: Party Pooper Edition" to increase the number of players up to 10. You can pick up a copy of Poop The Game, Party Pooper Edition or the Brown Bag Combo on Amazon or grab the combo direct from Breaking Games for $20.

Senator Xenophon Questions Fair Work Ombudsman
Discussion in 'Senator Xenophon And Scientology' started by TinyDancer, Mar 2, 2011.
TinyDancer Member
The biennial senate estimates hearings took place last week in Canberra.
The estimates hearings are an opportunity for senators to question senior executives in the government departments.
Nick Xenophon took the opportunity to question the Fair Work Ombudsman, Nicholas Wilson, about issues relating to contracts of the Church of Scientology. The transcript became available today.
Proof Committee Hansard
EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND WORKPLACE RELATIONS LEGISLATION COMMITTEE
Extract from transcript of 23 February 2011
Senator XENOPHON—Whilst I know you cannot discuss specific cases, there are some general principles I wanted to canvass with you. I think it was about a year ago that out of a very helpful suggestion of Senator Abetz, a number of complaints from former members of the Church of Scientology were sent through to your office. I am grateful for a very comprehensive letter I received from you that was dated 14 February. Without breaching any confidences in the investigations that are currently underway, under current legislation how does Fair Work Australia differentiate between an employee and a volunteer, and what are the protocols in place for that?
Mr Wilson—Ultimately, that is a matter of legal determination by a combination of the inspectors and our legal staff. There are principles which need to be applied about the intention to form legal relations and if there is an intention to form legal relations, what the nature is of those relations—whether it is intended to be an employment exercise or whether it is some other exercise. Clearly, it is a matter of engaging with the particular complainant and the respondent and testing through that circumstance.
Senator XENOPHON—If there is any further information to provide on notice, I would be grateful. I think you have given a good outline there, but if there is anything further that you wanted to add about any criteria that you look at.
Mr Wilson—The criteria are set out to some extent within the Fair Work Act, which—
Senator XENOPHON—We do not need to do that now. I am just conscious of it.
Mr Wilson—Yes. That contains a definition of employee and that clearly is instructive. The other thing to consider is a High Court case that I referred you to in my correspondence, which is Ermogenous v Greek Orthodox Community of SA Inc (2002) 2009 CLR 95. That case and others do set out some of the principles that would need to be considered. In some ways it is fairly rare that we need to test those principles, and clearly the cases you have indicated may require those assessments and that ultimately is a matter of the evidence of each particular complainant.
Senator XENOPHON—How does your office assess the credibility of contracts declaring that someone is a volunteer? For example, would the Church of Scientology asking its so-called volunteers to sign billion-year contracts to volunteer to work for the church, with the inclusion of a billion-year clause—it actually says a billion years—lead to your office rejecting the validity of such a contract.
Mr Wilson—We have not yet tested, and I do not know that we will test, that issue of validity with a contract. The issues that we are presently looking at are somewhat more basic. There was an allusion to that point in my correspondence to you, which was to indicate that in some but not all cases it might be—and I am yet to make my decision on these points—that they are simply not within time and therefore not capable of us investigating them in detail.
Senator XENOPHON—Time would be defined in what way? Is it a six-year statutory limit?
Mr Wilson—Correct.
Senator XENOPHON—Is that an absolute limit or is there an ability to extend time in exceptional circumstances, or if there is new material or information? Is the limit of six years a sudden-death thing or is there some ability—
Mr Wilson—My understanding of the Fair Work Act is that it is a sudden-death matter and that there is not a capacity for an inspector to bring an application to a court outside of that time.
Senator XENOPHON—There is genuine concern that in some jurisdictions with some actions you can do so if there is a mature fact. I am sorry, Mr Wilson, I did not mean to interrupt you.
Mr Wilson—It is difficult for me to answer that question without going to the precise matters which are under investigation. Ultimately, the investigation of whether a person is a volunteer or an employee is a test of a number of matters, one of which may well be the purported legal arrangement between the two. It may well be other factors as to what actually went on, and that point was to some degree made within the Greek Orthodox case that I referred to where the person was held to be an employee for the purposes of the long service leave legislation, notwithstanding that they had a religious connection to the community and a religious function within the community. It is not outside the realms of possibility that that same arrangement might occur in any other relationship between a volunteer and the organisation they are working for. It is equally possible that it not be consistent with those tests.
Senator XENOPHON—So a contract with something as ludicrous as a billion-year contract clause in it could still be deemed valid?
Mr Wilson—I do not have a view on that point and I do not think I need to have a view on that point right now. That is really all I can say about that matter.
Senator XENOPHON—But, in terms of general principles, if there is something that is patently absurd— contracts that actually say, 'You are volunteering your services for a billion years'—it actually says 'a billion years'—wouldn't that set off alarm bells in terms of assessing the criteria?
Mr Wilson—That is a different question to the one that you asked. Your question was whether—
Senator XENOPHON—it would be deemed valid.
Mr Wilson—the contract would be deemed valid. That is a different question from whether or not such a term may well set off alarm bells. What Mr Ronson just indicated to me is that you look behind the contract in any arrangement, whether it be an employment arrangement, a volunteer arrangement or some other arrangement, and you look to how that is actually played out between the parties—the work that they did, the payments that were made, the controls and all the rest of it. What I have indicated to you in my correspondence is that we are still in the process of gathering information and assessing the nature of that information and that a determination will be made by me towards the end of March. You are inviting me to make decisions in advance of that and I do not think it is proper that I do that.
Senator XENOPHON—So a contract with a billion-year clause in it could or could not be valid—the decision could be either way?
Mr Wilson—I do not have a view on its validity.
Senator XENOPHON—I go to the issue of the expertise your staff have in assessing some of these claims. It is not in any way criticism; I just want to try and understand.
Mr Wilson—Sure.
Senator XENOPHON—When it comes to some of these issues, there is an issue of coercion. The question is: what expertise do your staff have in assessing whether someone has been psychologically coerced into signing a contract or accepting substandard conditions?
Mr Wilson—I will ask Mr Ronson to speak to that.
Mr Ronson—In this particular matter which I think you are referring to, the principal inspector in the investigation is someone with a psychology background, which we felt was appropriate in this particular investigation. The assisting inspectors are very experienced inspectors, and so we have ensured that they were appropriate for the nature of this investigation.
Senator XENOPHON—Apart from the expertise of the people that you referred to, are there any protocols in dealing with issues of coercion or assessing potential issues of psychological coercion?
Mr Ronson—I am confident that the inspectors who conducted this investigation were aware of extraneous issues or surrounding issues that, as you have described, may have been in place, or may not have been. They were alive to what are potential issues that are specific to this particular investigation.
TinyDancer, Mar 2, 2011
C'tued
Senator XENOPHON—On the issue of volunteer contracts signed by children—because I have had complaints in respect of that and met one young woman who was a minor at the time that she entered into this contract—how does your office treat so-called volunteer contracts signed by children?
Mr Ronson—Not just in this case but in other cases—and I know that it was followed in this case—it is very important that extra sensitivity is afforded and applied to those particular conversations. It is absolutely essential that parents are involved and, if that is the case, if minors have entered into contracts and their parents are aware of the nature of this investigation, that there is a level of comfort and so forth.
Senator XENOPHON—Sorry, perhaps I should clarify that: I mean if they are no longer minors but they were minors at the time they entered into this so-called volunteer contract.
Mr Ronson—Sorry, are you talking about child employment law specifically or just the nature of a conversation?
Senator XENOPHON—There is an argument as to whether it is an employment contract or, as I think the Church of Scientology says, it was simply a contract to be a volunteer. What is the policy, or how do you deal with cases, where a minor has signed such a contract to be a volunteer? What safeguards are there and what would that trigger in terms of any investigation?
Mr Ronson—There have been a number of cases where that occurs. I am confident that the training that we provide to our inspectors is sufficient to cover off what I suppose are the particular evidential difficulties that need to be tested with someone's memory, particularly that memory as a minor, and if they are remembering what they did and signed.
Senator XENOPHON—Perhaps we are talking at cross purposes. Let us assume, again as a general principle, that from an evidentiary point of view you have the evidence that there is a contract to be a volunteer and it has been entered into by a minor. What effect would that have and what role could your office have in those cases if there is a complaint about that, even if there has been parental consent? What would happen in cases in the absence of parental consent and in cases where there is parental consent?
Mr Ronson—I think as a general proposition it is fair to say that we would be requiring greater explanation on behalf of the employer or the engager of work to account for what was going on at the time, what the intentions of the parties were. There would be a more robust questioning of what the precise nature of the intentions between the parties was.
Senator XENOPHON—But what ability does a minor have to enter into a contract? There is that threshold issue, isn't there?
Mr Ronson—Correct. These are questions that we are dealing with on a daily basis, but in particular the investigation that you are interested in.
Senator XENOPHON—Sure. As a broader issue, Mr Ronson and Mr Wilson, about employers that drag someone in, whether they are a young adult or a minor, and say, 'Have a bit of work experience with us,' but in fact it is just cheap labour and it goes on for an extended period of time. I am sure that is quite a widespread thing that goes beyond this particular investigation that I am interested in.
Mr Ronson—Absolutely.
Mr Wilson—If I talk generally about our approach on that, that might flush out some of the issues. There are of course many thousands of minors who are employed quite properly and ethically. What you do find, for example, in the large fast-food chains they are very conscious of the need to make sure that there is parental consent and so on, and that is done quite properly. Equally, there are cases where we see employment having commenced without necessarily that parental consent having been given. The role that we exercise in that is to make sure that people are not exploited and that they are paid the conditions and entitlements they are entitled to. When it comes to things like work experience or other volunteer arrangements, they fall into a number of categories. There are of course the bona fide work experience and volunteer arrangements, which are quite proper and ethical. Then there are some where they are just outright exploitation of holding out jobs with no pay at the end of that work experience period. On those issues we certainly take quite a strong line and make sure that underpayments are rectified. The kind of issues that you are talking about—
Senator XENOPHON—Mr Wilson, just in relation to that. There must be a case where you cross this threshold where someone is at first instance doing work experience but it becomes unpaid labour, and there sometimes could be a hybrid of the two, could there not? Initially it could be properly characterised as work experience and then it turns into something else.
Mr Wilson—I will call upon Mr Campbell, who has some experience in this area.
Mr Campbell—We do observe cases where employers attempt to engage people through work experience arrangements to gain access to what you describe as free labour. Where those matters come to our attention, we look at the facts of the case and at the intentions of the party but also whether the employer has gained benefit from having that person involved in that work during that period of time. If we assess that they have, and we come to a view that there was an intention to create a relationship, and perhaps an employment relationship, then we will enforce the minimum wage that would apply to that role. That could be whether or not the person was a minor or otherwise. It would be up to ultimately a court to decide whether that individual was capable of entering into the contract that we say existed between the parties. We could argue that it did, but it would again be a court who had to decide.
Senator XENOPHON—So it is a question of degree and the facts of each case?
Mr Campbell—Yes.
Senator XENOPHON—Without referring to any specific case, if there are issues of coercion looking at the nature of the relationship between the parties, would they be relevant factors?
Mr Campbell—They would be factors that would ultimately have to lead in court to convince a judge or a court that there were certain behaviours by the employer that led to a relationship being created that may not have been the choice of the individual employee or volunteer that you refer to.
Senator XENOPHON—What happens in cases where initially it appears that there was free choice but it then becomes apparent as a result of a number of factors that that free choice is no longer there? Is that something that is taken into account?
Mr Campbell—Generally it could be and again it will go down to whether or not the individual involved received a benefit from the work of the individual. For all intents and purposes, if there is an employment relationship then we can enforce entitlements based on that view. Again, it is the case that we can put before the court and our ability to argue the facts to the court that will determine whether or not we are successful in proving that a person was an employee.
Senator XENOPHON—As a general principle, if a minor enters into a volunteer contract without theconsent of their parents, would such a contract be valid or not?
Mr Campbell—I could not provide a general principle on that because it is a volunteer arrangement.
Mr Wilson—The other distinction to be made is under the Fair Work Act; our jurisdiction obviously is in respect of employment arrangements. To take an extreme case, let's say my daughter, who is almost 15, decided to volunteer for the local Red Cross without telling me. That might be wrong and there might beconsequences under whatever the volunteer arrangements are for that organisation. But there would not necessarily be a jurisdiction invoked for this organisation to investigate unless it was of the view that the arrangement was not that of a volunteer but instead an employment relationship.
Senator XENOPHON—Yes, it is different if it was a case of your family member being there 60 or 70 hours a week and having to work around the clock on direction and being told that they would be eternally damned or whatever if they did not keep doing it. That would change the nature of the relationship, would it not, potentially?
Mr Wilson—It might. That is the struggle of course that we have and ultimately that can only be answered by the facts of each individual case.
Senator XENOPHON—So it is a hybrid of really common law and statutory law?
Mr Wilson—It is, yes.
Senator XENOPHON—Thank you for your time.
Zak McKracken Member
Senator XENOPHON—Please excuse my digression, but why do you keep evading and avoiding my questions?
Mr Wilson—We are not, quite, actually evading. We engage and deliberate over many of these very issues on a daily basis. They are the heart of the matter, and the basis for all the work we do. So many cases we are investigating require such fine sensitivity that we are not quite yet prepared to consider the possibility of discussing hypotheticals that may or may not have transpired in such fashion as the agreeable parties have so indicated, and we wish to be quite thoroughly apprised of all the relevant factual evidence which the employer may have made available to demonstrate the full measure of compensation that the volunteer or employee may have received, commensurate with their period of service.
Senator XENOPHON—What of the evidence that people might bring you of their own accord? Would you consider the testimony and documentation from multiple sources, of enforced labor, abusive working conditions, deceitful and fraudulent controls by the parties responsible for their employment?
Mr Wilson—Oh, of course. We do, and we must, always take into account the possibility that volunteers may misremember or misapprise those conditions of their service. Particularly if those conditions transpired many years ago, as children and with parental consent. It may be frequently inappropriate to prematurely label such claims as fraudulent or deceitful, without ensuring that we have fully exhausted all possibilities of error. It would depend in all cases on the particulars of those involved. Were the employers harmed? Were the workers negligent in their duties? I cannot make generalized comments on specific matters, with judicious restraint, as I'm sure you must be aware due to the nature of our pains-taking efforts in protecting the interests of all parties engaged in these matters.

When Sen. Xenophon grills people, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling all over!
tippytoe, Mar 2, 2011
My interpretation of his "non-answers" is that he is being very careful not to prejudice any administrative decisions that he must make in relation to this investigation. If he were to express a view before hearing from both sides, that would be potential grounds to appeal his decision.

TL;DR Public officers refuse to present principles and criteria they intend to use. Law-makers are expected to trust their expertise and ad hoc judgement. Law-makers usually prefer principles and criteria the officers would then apply to specific cases.

I like what Nick is doing here. Scientology has been having their cake and eating it for a loooong time because there has been no politician asking the tricky questions.
Are they volunteers?
Yes. We don't need to pay minimum wage.
Also no, they are paid enough to be granted a visa.
Is Narconon secular?
Yes. It has no connection with Scientology.
Has Narconon been subject to clinical trials?
No because it is religous.
Is Scientology a religion?
Yes, my local taxation authority, it is a religion.
No, my Zionist brothers, in Israel, we are secular.
If Nick is able to knit together a strategy with Fair Work and Immigration and get themon the same page, the Sea Org in Australia is potentially not going to be able to operate. No Sea Org, No Orgs in Australia. Just little missions. And then... a clear continent.

Revamping Fort St. James trails
The Trail Improvement Project is underway and trails south and west of Stuart lake are getting a long awaited facelift.

Wayne Moll
The Trail Improvement Project is underway and trails west and south of Stuart Lake will soon be getting a long-awaited facelift.
The Snowmobile Society owns and maintains a large portion of Fort St. James' recreational trails. In recent years, the society has installed three bridges with the help of time-and-material donations from various community members to help stop obstruction of fish streams. Now the main focus has shifted to improving the trails with grooming and signage, said Wayne Moll, vice president of Fort St. James Snowmobile Society.
"With more tourists arriving in town we would like to improve the safety of our trail network with better grooming and signage to indicate where you are, at what kilometre, on what trail, and where to go next," said Mr. Moll.
Trails affected include Dog Creek Trail, Bridge to Ridge Trail, Tulle Lake Trail, Angly Lake Trial one and two, Barlow FSR Trail, Pam Lake Trail, Water Tank Trail and Whitefish trail. The plan is to have large colour-coated kilometre signs and directional arrows placed throughout the trails, along with nine large colour-coated maps placed at key locations. The society is also in the works of producing hand-held map brochures to make available at various outdoor recreation and tourist outlets.
"Iv'e seen other trail maps and there black-and-white and it's hard to figure out. That's why were doing it in colour," said Mr. Moll.
The improvement project has been in the works for a few years but got rolling this year with the help of five key contributors. A total of $41,000 was given in grant money and donated material towards the project.
The society plans to use a large portion of the money towards a new Razor ATV that a newly-donated trail groomer will hitch onto. Special options for the Razor including closed doors, a radio and a heater are being looked at since the average age of the society's executive is 63. The two people grooming the trails last year were Ed Hill 82, and Grant Luck 78.
During the grant applying process, one of the main contributors, Integris Credit Union Community Foundation, made it known that the money they give is not to be used for a machine. Being one of the larger donations, it was fortunate that they later agreed to have their grant spent on the add-ons for the ATV and any left-over monies on signage and grooming.
"We've been trying for five years to get the ball rolling on this and since April everything has just popped into place," said Mr. Moll.
The group already has a mock design of the maps made up so the actually signs should be seen up by mid August, said Mr. Moll. A project plan submitted to Northern Development Initiative Trust has the entire project scheduled for completion by April 2015. "We want to get the Razor before October so the trails can get groomed before first snow fly. We tried to also work it around the Caledonia Classic which is in February, so it should be done before then," said Mr. Moll.
The Fort St. James Snowmobile club started in 1972 and became a society in 1998. They started out with the old 81-acre fairgrounds for their club house and with the help of volunteers kept local trails groomed and accessible. Now, they have 300 km of trail tenured with the BC government that are used by residents and tourists alike for anything from hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowmobiles and dog sledding.
"We get people coming from Prince George and Vanderhoof. We even had people from the Yukon and Switzerland inquire about coming to learn dog sledding, so that's international. The trails will be wider, safer and better looking. It's definitely going to bring people to town," said Mr. Moll.

As a result, patients, particularly those with chronic diseases such as diabetes and coronary artery disease, are living longer. The European Union is predicting that, based on current care models, healthcare expenditure will double to €1.8 trillion per year by 2020.
Such an increase in expenditure is clearly unsustainable and imposes an economic imperative to investigate the feasibility of alternative care models. Connected health, which involves using technology to divert point-of-care delivery from hospitals to community teams, presents a compelling proposition in terms of patient care and cost savings.
As early as 2015, connected health will reach large numbers of patients through more than 250 million professional on-site healthcare installations, together with 100 million home health management system shipments. (Source: ABI Research, 2009). Distributing the point of care delivery from acute hospitals to community teams delivers savings for healthcare providers. Distributing the management of care amongst multi-disciplined community teams has compelling patient outcome results.
The EU predicts that, based on current care models, healthcare expenditure will double from 8% of GDP to 16% of GDP across member states between now and 2020. This increase is equivalent to an extra €900 billion healthcare spend per year. This is greater than the cost of the current banking bailout across the EU.
What role will your products and services play?
It is inevitable that technology will play a role in distributing healthcare models closer to patients. Today, technology makes in-hospital teams more coordinated and more efficient while delivering better quality care. Tomorrow, these same information technology models will be implemented outside of bricks-and-mortar facilities to distribute care closer to patients' homes.
The economic imperative is upon us. Population aging poses a profound challenge for existing healthcare systems. Technology will be used to scale and distribute care models.
Technology and medical companies must determine what role their products and services will play in this multi-billion euro market. Health authorities must decide how to harness these technological advances to benefit their patients.
Many of our clients seek assistance in understanding how to get involved in the connected health and market. With our experience, we are uniquely positioned to advise on how to benefit from the opportunities that this modal change offers.
The Kokomo team is led by Dr. Malachy Rice, an internationally recognised expert in Connected Health, and includes consultants, solution architects, technologists, and project managers with many years of experience in IT and connected healthcare.

Dual-envelope tender launched for Jalan Anak Bukit site
Posted on June 30, 2020 August 3, 2022 by admin
The 3.2 hectare site in Upper Bukit Timah can yield 865 private housing units.PHOTO: URA.GOV.SG
SINGAPORE – The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Tuesday (June 30) launched a "dual envelope" tender of a choice site at Jalan Anak Bukit for a landmark residential and commercial development with a bus interchange to help rejuvenate the Beauty World area.
The 3.2 hectare site in Upper Bukit Timah can yield 865 private housing units, which can be flats or serviced apartments, or a combination of both.
Of the maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 96,551 square metres, 5,000 sq m must be used for the bus interchange, while a maximum of 20,000 sq m can be for commercial use, of which up to 7,500 sq m can be for shop and restaurants.
The parcel is the last of three confirmed list residential sites under the government land sales (GLS) programme for the first half of this year. The Government last week announced a reduced supply of private homes from confirmed GLS sites for the second half of 2020 to take into account the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.
For the Jalan Anak Bukit site, URA wants a "distinctive development and identity marker for the Beauty World precinct", which it envisions as a green urban village that will be a centre of community life and southern gateway into Bukit Timah's nature attractions.
The development on the site must be lushly landscaped and provide residents and visitors with a seamless underground connection to nearby Beauty World MRT station on the Downtown Line, as well as pedestrian-friendly networks to bus-stops and the surrounding nature attractions and well-designed public spaces.
Aiming for a quality and landmark development, URA has called for a dual-envelope tender for the site with bidders required to submit their concept proposals and tender prices in two separate envelopes. In the first stage, the concept proposals will be evaluated against a set of criteria specified in the tender. In the next stage, the shortlisted proposals will then be assessed on price only.
In view of the Covid-19 situation, developers have been given a longer period of nine months to submit their bids for the 99-year leasehold site, with the tender for the site closing at 12 noon on March 30 next year.
While shopping malls in the area such as Beauty World Plaza, Beauty World Centre and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, are mostly strata-titled and somewhat outdated, the precinct is undergoing some rejuvenation with the completion of the Coast-to-Coast trail, upcoming completion of the Rail Corridor and Rifle Range Nature Park and new public and private development projects such as the upcoming new Bukit Timah Community Building, as well as The [email protected] World mixed-use development on the site of the former Goh and Goh Building.
Tricia Song, head of research for Singapore at Colliers International said the site has the potential to become an iconic landmark and requires a substantial investment. As such, she expects larger and experienced developers to be interested, who are likely to form partnerships to combine their strengths and share the risks.
"We expect buoyant interest, with at least seven to 10 concepts proposals, and land bids to be $1.1 to 1.3 billion or $1,050 to $1,250 per square foot (psf) per plot ratio," said Ms Song. With the tender's closing date nine months out, market sentiment could also have improved, she said.
Currently, there are ample new residential launches nearby, with over 1,000 available units, of which less than half have been sold, she noted. As of end-May, Daintree Residences has sold 108 out of 327 units at an average price of $1,665 psf since its launch in July 2018 while Mayfair Modern has moved 68 of 171 units at prices averaging $2,015 psf since its launch in April 2019.

Shaping Urban Experience

Shepard Fairey's 'Earth Justice' Mural
In August 2019, Burrard Arts Foundation announced Surface Series, a new large-scale, rotating public art program in the heart of Vancouver. The program will feature prominent national and international contemporary artists practicing in a variety of mediums including painting, photography, text, digital and more.
Surface Series officially launched on August 7, 2019, with a work titled Earth Justice from renowned artist Shepard Fairey, the American graphic artist and social activist perhaps best known for his iconic Hope (2008) portrait for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Located at the intersection of Burrard and Georgia, his artwork was revealed on the west facade of the Burrard Building, spanning over 10,000 square feet. This first iteration of Surface Series was presented in collaboration with Vancouver Mural Festival.
Christian Chan, Founder and Director of Burrard Arts Foundation was interviewed to discuss the new series and its first installation.
What impact do you hope the Surface Series  will have on the City of Vancouver?
"Arts and culture (and in particular public art) are a primary means to spark creative inspiration, foster civic discourse, promote cultural understanding and build social capital. Vancouver has seen exponential economic and urban growth over the last several decades, and we are excited to be part of a collective effort to ensure that platforms for arts and culture grow commensurately. We are encouraged by cities like New York, London, Boston and Seattle who have made it a priority to place bold and large-scale public art installations in the hearts of their cities and public spaces; we believe Vancouver deserves the same."
Why did you choose the name  Surface Series?
"The name was conceived partially due to the physical characteristics of the installation (located on a large exterior facing wall), as well as partially from the concept that much of what we consider to be city life (including how and where we interact with each other) happens in the public realm or the city's "surface"."
How will  Surface Series  improve the urban environment through creative placemaking and the enhancement of civic space?
"Public art, in general, has been proven to enhance public spaces and experiences in a number of ways, including (but not limited to) opportunities for people to gather and connect, to participate in cultural exchange, to attract visitors and promote economic development, to learn and be inspired, and then, of course, to simply infuse beauty into peoples' daily lives, which is like food for the soul, improving morale and wellbeing."
Why did you choose Shepard Fairey for the launch of the Surface Series  project?
"The opportunity to work with Shepard on this particular project was immense, given the artist's ability to capture the public imagination and generate positive dialogue around ideas and issues of importance to this generation. The artist's Earth Crisis body of work, of which this installation will be a part of, is a particularly salient subject for Vancouver.
In addition to that, the palette that Shepard utilizes in his work will add a vibrant touch of colour into the urban fabric, and hopefully, provide a moment of delight and respite when people encounter it in an area that's largely characterized by hustle and bustle."
What impact do you hope that Earth Justice will have on the City of Vancouver?
"We live in one of the most environmentally conscious cities on earth, and one that is proudly striving to be the world's greenest city by 2020 (that's next year). What a better way to reiterate our commitment to this outcome and galvanize our citizens around such an important goal than to have a bold and beautiful artistic statement of that commitment in the ceremonial center of our city?"
What, if any, action do you hope people will take after seeing this artwork?
"There are so many ways that people can take personal everyday action to improve the environment, and/or lessen their footprint – from consuming less single-use plastics, to using alternative modes of transportation (walking, biking, mass transit), to being more mindful about use of water and electricity, to contributing their time and resources to non-profits who are doing important work in the community or around the world, and so much more. We would be proud of this work stood as a reminder for people to take any of these actions on a regular basis."
Do you think that art will encourage people to take action to combat climate change? Why is this important?
"I believe that art has the power to affect many positive attitudes, outlooks and things in the lives of people and the world, and supporting a healthier planet is no exception. This is important because we need to acknowledge the importance of every person to do their part, and not be resigned that an individual can't make an impact. It's time to start thinking long-term and generationally."
Who will be next?
"The Surface Series selection committee, comprised of a diverse group of community members and stakeholders, will work together to determine the appropriate artist, medium and subject matter for the next installation. We are excited to share more when we are further along in the process."
As the first modern curtain wall building in the Vancouver built in the 1950s, the Burrard Building has always been a symbol of a forward-thinking ideology and a harbinger of the City's future. - How has it been a symbol of this?
"The fact that it was the first curtain wall building is the reason (I contend) that the Burrard Building is a symbol of progressive thought and practice. Curtain wall buildings are buildings that do not use the exterior walls as part of the structural system and can, therefore, consist of all glazing/glass facades. As you can imagine, being the first all-glass façade high rise in a city would have been a spectacular and very forward-thinking accomplishment at the time (1950's)."

Details are crucial for trip execution.
In Texas and across the country, travel / select lacrosse is done a lot of different ways. Each program has their competitive advantages and deficiences, strengths and weaknesses. We firmly believe that the StickStar Travel and Select Experience is completely unique. StickStar has traveled teams since 2004. In that time frame, we have established a consistency in credibility and culture few outside the east coast have been able to maintain.
Details: In order to execute a successful travel experience and compete at a high level, a considerable amount of work must be done on the front end. Helen Crimmins, our team manager, is second to none in terms of managing details / trip planning and has been a crucial factor in our program's success. Handling all the accommodations prior and orchestrating all the intricacies on the road with our team, Mother Crimmins allows parents to rest with greater ease when their players are on the road.
Prior to traveling, Program Director and Head Coach, Anthony Crimmins, carefully puts together a training schedule, a competition schedule, and fills teams which will be able to play a quality brand of lacrosse. Players from 52 different programs across the State, including all the major lacrosse cities in Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio) have played with our program, along with players from outside our State's boundaries including California, Ohio, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
System: Executing StickStar's component-based methodology, our players are able to play a quality style of lacrosse with minimal, full-team practices. Training takes place at summer practice, seasonal seminars, and combines. Due to the instructional methodology, a compound interest of understanding becomes ingrained the more players travel. The consistency of success and execution which Dallas Select, Texas United, and Texas Box Lacrosse have demonstrated over the last 10+ years is pretty remarkable and a direct result of this system. As Dallas Select is the longest running program in the State, our ability to play at a high level has been crucial in reaching and maintaining this goal.
Teams are built to apply pressure and have enough juice to compete for Championships even after upwards of 14 games. Due to our geographical location, we usually put two tourneys together to maximize money spent on plane tickets but, also, to build chemistry, camaraderie, and the ability to execute over time. Our success on the second half of a two-tourney trip is pretty remarkable and consistent with our goal of constant improvement. Dallas Select has had more tournament success than any program in the State as it has won a total of 10+ national tournaments in both field and box. Dallas Select has made it to the championship game of the Denver Shootout, King of the Hill, Gait Cup, Notre Dame Team Camp, SandStorm, UNC Team Camp, The Denver Fall & Summer Team Challenge, Virginia Team Camp, the Midwest Box Classic, and the Denver Battle in the Box.
In the coming days, we will release more content that comprises the subsets to the overall, StickStar Experience article. This content will always be found under the Select Programs tab but will be released in Articles first. We hope you enjoy getting to know our program a little bit better!

After the footnote divider line, but before the footnotes themselves, there would be a huge expanse of blank space. It was wreaking havoc on my formatting and turning all my tables into multiple-paged impossible-to-read clusters of cells.
Turns out this is caused by something called a footnote separator which you have to go to Draft mode (under the View tab in MS Word 07 and up) to edit it.
Go to the View tab, then choose Draft.
In the drop-down list that appears in the Footnotes area, choose Footnote Separator.
Delete any extra spaces, carriage returns etc. It's handy to have "show non-printing characters" switched on.
Repeat for the other one – I think it was Continuous Footnote Separator.
Go back to View and switch back to Print Layout.

Mark Neville made this film during his time as an official war artist in Afghanistan in 2011. Bolan Market was filmed in slow motion from inside a British Army 'Husky' vehicle, thus giving a soldier's perspective of the war zone and its local people. Neville studied ne art at Reading University and Goldsmiths College. He now makes work that blurs the boundaries between art and documentary lm and photography. The National Army Museum collects objects and art relating to the British Army since the Civil War. Bolan Market enters the collection as its first example of a film made by an artist about war, and is a poignant record of one of the army's most highly publicised campaigns.

Die  Nieuport 12 war ein 1915 von der Firma Societé Anonyme des Établissements Nieuport entwickeltes französisches zweisitziges Jagdflugzeug, das im Ersten Weltkrieg eingesetzt wurde.

Entwicklung

Die Nieuport 12 war eine vergrößerte und verstärkte Version der ihr sehr ähnlichen Nieuport 10AR aus dem Jahr 1914, bei der der Platz des Beobachters bereits hinter dem des Piloten angebracht worden war ("AR" = "arrière"/hinten gegenüber der früheren Version "AV" = "avant"/vorn). Da Mitte 1915 die verbliebenen Nie. 10 angesichts der Bedrohung durch die deutschen Fokker-Jagdflugzeuge überwiegend zu behelfsmäßigen Jagdeinsitzern umgebaut worden waren bestand der Bedarf nach einem stärker bewaffneten Zweisitzer, der die Nie. 10 als Aufklärer ablösen konnte.

Die Nie. 12 erhielt ein transparentes Flügelmittelstück, bis zur Flügelspitze reichende Querruder und nach außen geneigte Flügelstreben. Als Motor wurde ein Le-Rhône-9J-Umlaufmotor mit 110 PS (82 kW) oder ein Clerget-Motor mit 100–130 PS (82–97 kW) verwendet; mit dem stärkeren 130-PS-Clerget-Sternmotor versehene Maschinen wurden als Nieuport 12bis bezeichnet. Sie wurde mit einem beweglichen MG für den Beobachter und einem starr auf der oberen Tragfläche über den Propeller hinaus nach vorn schießenden MG für den Piloten bewaffnet.

Um die britischen Luftstreitkräfte auszurüsten, wurden 50 Stück in Lizenz von der Firma Beardmore in England hergestellt, die ihre Nieuports mit einem synchronisierten Vickers-MG für den Piloten und einer beweglichen Scarff-Lafette für das MG in der Beobachterkanzel ausrüstete und im Laufe der Fertigung mehrere Modifikationen vornahm.

Consumers are more likely to read and act upon online advertising than they were a year ago, according to the second year of an Opinion Research Corporation consumer preference survey sponsored by Adfusion. Every type of online advertising scored better with consumers in 2010 than a year ago.
Article-based advertising was preferred by 53% of respondents who said they are "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to read and act upon the material, compared to 51% in 2009. Coveted demographic groups are even more likely to express a preference for articles. According to the survey, 66% of people between the ages of 25 and 34, and 60% of those making at least $75,000 per year, say they are "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to read and act upon article-based advertising. Pop-up ads were least likely to be read or acted upon.
Articles that include brand information: 53% compared to 51% in 2009.
Email offers: 51% compared to 47% in 2009.
Sponsored search engine links: 40% compared to last year's 39%.
Banner ads: 28% compared to 25% in 2009.
Pop-up ads: 19% compared to 13% in 2009.
Further, when asked how frequently they conduct Internet searches for products or services they read about in online articles, the results were eye-popping. Frequency increased from about 50% a year ago saying they initiate a search "very frequently" or "somewhat frequently," to 57% this year. Younger and high-income people showed a considerable propensity to conduct a search after reading online articles. Seventy-two percent of 25-to-34-year-olds said they were likely to conduct a search for products or services based on an article, up from 66% a year ago. And 70% of those making more than $75,000 per year expressed their likelihood to perform a search – 13 points higher than last year's 57%.
Severson says the data revealed that other high-potential demographic segments said they frequently conduct searches for products or services after reading about them in online articles, including: 65% of respondents with household size of three or more; 72% of households with children in the 13-17 age group; and 63% of college educated respondents – compared to 57% of the general population.
"We're seeing that article-based advertising rates highest with these important and discerning audiences. Compared to other online advertising options, consumers prefer reading an article, evaluating it, and then deciding to click through for more information," says Severson.

USPS Has a Plan: Investments, Cost Reductions, 'Other Strategies'
March 23, 2021 March 23, 2021 Ina Steiner
A politician quipped, "There's no DeJoy in the Post Office tonight," after Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced his 10-year plan to revive (rescue?) the US Postal Service on Tuesday. The US Postal Service also announced the formation of a task force on service performance at specific locations within the postal network.
The 10-year plan, called Delivering for America, will help put the organization on a path to financial sustainability, according to General DeJoy.
Some of the key changes that news headlines are keying in on are slower mail, higher rates, and cuts to post office hours. But the USPS said the plan would put the organization on a strong financial footing, describing the "Total Plan Benefit" as follows:
$58 billion: Legislative and administrative action: Includes Medicare integration and eliminating the pre-funding requirement;
$44 billion: Regulatory changes via Postal Regulatory Commission: Includes pricing flexibility for market dominant products;
$34 billion: Self-help management initiatives: cost improvement: Includes mail processing, transportation, retail, delivery, and administrative efficiency.
$24 billion: Self-help management initiatives: revenue improvement: Includes package growth, new competitive products and pricing changes and revenue from package volume and price increases.
The last bullet point means higher rates for packages, hitting online sellers directly in the pocketbook.
But the second bullet points also cites higher prices – by loosening restrictions on how much the Postal Service can raise rates for mail (market dominant products). That was an issue raised last year – see this November 30th article in Government Executive for details.
It's interesting to hear what the Postal Service sees as key challenges. In a "plan at a glance" document (PDF), it states:
The Problems We're Addressing through the Implementation of This Plan:
Hastened shift in demand away from mail to packages
Misaligned mail and package processing operations
Underperforming air and surface transportation network
Unattainable First-Class Mail service standards
Prolonged underinvestment in retail and delivery network
Misaligned and redundant organizational design
High turnover rate within our noncareer employee workforce
Long-overdue pricing regulation changes from the PRC
Onerous legislative and administrative mandates
The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) issued a press release saying there were elements of the plan it would support and elements of the plan it would oppose.
Of special concern to the APWU is the slowdown of mail and reduction of services at a time when it says the public is demanding faster delivery of mail and packages. It said proposals that would slow the mail and reduce retail services, including reducing operating hours at post offices, would have a negative effect on postal workers and the public.
While some lawmakers have similar concerns, according to the Washington Post, the newspaper explained which areas Congress controls and which it does not. For example, "The postmaster general unilaterally controls operating hours at post offices, and the board of governors appears to back DeJoy's changes to delivery times," the Post explained.
The mail slow-down is getting a lot of attention, but according to the Delivering for America plan, "The First-Class Mail 3-day service standard requires a complex and high cost transportation network to cover vast geographic areas."
It notes that the Postal Service does not own planes and is forced to rely on third parties for air transport.
"The scarcity of airplane and truck capacity, and the industry competition for both of those transportation modes, impacted our ability to deliver throughout 2020 and especially during the peak holiday season."
It goes on to say, "Increased package volume, a dispersed processing network causing products to travel excess mileage, and an extremely distributed collection process to pick up increasingly smaller mail volume make it impossible to meet our current service standards, or do so at a reasonable cost."
While many see the mail slow-down as problematic, one thing generally seen as a positive in the plan: the intention to preserve six-day mail and expand seven-day package delivery.
The full plan in PDF format on this page of the USPS website contains details and the rationale for changes.
And here's how the Postmaster General and other postal executives sold the plan to postal employees in a video.

get rid of the almost free epacket postage for the chineese.
Consign says:
Trump did.
eBay's negotiated an exclusive deal with China Post and USPS and 2010. Obama and Biden sat back and did nothing as eBay and its Communist Chinese vendors bankrupted USPS. USPS always made money on foreign mail prior to eBay's agreement. In 2010 USPS's profits on foreign mail were greatly reduced as eBay's new shipping label program was able to run for 1/2 of 2010. From 2011 onward USPS lost increasing amounts due to eBay's abuse of a 1969 UPU program. After being contacted by concerned citizens, Trump threatened to withdrawal from the UPU if the abusive pricing was not stopped. When other nations ignored him, he began the 1 year withdrawal process. Faced with not having access to the largest economy on earth via their mail systems the other countries agreed to fix the issue.
geetar says:
@RL15
Are you kidding? Trumps gone-Biden/Obama back. Now US portion of E-Packet Free to Chinese sellers.
Cant have US citizens making any money.
cfrphoto says:
In some cases, rail could replace trucks. At one time the Postal Service shipped some magazines relatively short distances rail in containers to reduce backhaul costs. While air will continue to be dominant for first-class mail and lightweight packages, containers shipped long distance by rail and short distance by trucks could lower the US Postal Service carbon footprint and increase reliability if managed with reliability as a top priority.
Silver Ice King says:
That was supposed to have happened in July when DeJoy took over, but he is only worried about his investments in other competitors that he lied about during his confirmation hearings. The worse that USPS performs or increases their costs to US Sellers, the more that start using the companies that he is invested in and he gets even richer. They need to fire him before he completely destroys what is left of the USPS as we all know it. If Congress were to get rid of that $5 billion a year prefunding of retirees medical retirement benefits they would no longer need all of these changes to break even once again. But that is not what he wants to do as it is not in DeJoys BEST INTEREST!!!!

Q: Conditions in Spatial Joins of QGIS? I'm just starting to get my head around writing simple expressions in QGIS. I have 2 polygon layers: the first shows the boundaries of houses of various types and how many people live in each. The second shows the boundaries of zones which group certain houses together.
I would like the second layer to show a summary of how many people live in each type of house in that zone. I also need the values to update automatically should i make changes to the first layer. For this i reckon that the second layer will need a different field for each house type and that these fields should be virtual.
I have gotten as far as downloading the Reffunctions plugin and getting the intersecting_geom_sum function to add up all of the people in each zone. However, i am struggling to introduce the condition whereby each field only adds the values of a specific type.

A: you also can use a virtual layer together with a group statement, something like:
   SELECT zones.geometry, zones.typ, houses.typ, sum(houses.habs) as sumHabs
   FROM zones LEFT Join houses
   ON st_intersects(houses.geometry, zones.geometry)
   group by zones.geometry, zones.typ, houses.typ

A: Add a new virtual field to the house layer called NumRes_Type1. If the house is house type 1, this field will be the number of residents in the house. Otherwise it will be 0. Use this function, substituting the correct field names:

if("house_type" = house type 1, "number_of_residents", 0)

Repeat for each house type. Now you have fields in the house layer called NumRes_Type1, NumRes_Type2, NumRes_Type3, etc.
Now use the fields you just created with the intersecting_geom_sum function to add up the number of residents of each house type. Add a virtual layer to the zones layer with this function:

intersecting_geom_sum('house_layer', 'NumRes_Type1')

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaStackExchange


Description	 The standard should use the word "shall" instead of "is" or "will" to describe the return value of the fcntl function.
Value of file status flags and access modes. The return value is not negative.
Value of file status flags and access modes. The return value shall not be negative.
Value of the socket owner process or process group; this will not be -1.
Value of the socket owner process or process group; this shall not be -1.
Looking at this again, should the wording for <fcntl.h> on page 238 mention that the various flags that can be returned for F_GETFD and F_GETFL must have values that do not result in a negative integer? This would affect FD_CLOEXEC (line 8020), the status bits O_APPEND, O_DSYNC, O_NONBLOCK, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC (lines 8044-8050), and all of the components of O_ACCMODE (lines 8051-8064).

What are prebiotics and probiotics and why are they included in your foods?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in your pet's intestinal tract. They ferment specific food types into amino acids, vitamins, and fatty acids. Probiotics help aid digestion and prevent harmful bacteria from colonizing in the intestinal tract. Prebiotics, such as inulin, act as a food for the probiotics.
Why has the meat percentage changed on my bag of ZIWI Peak or my ZIWI Peak wet food?
Dogs and cats require a diet rich in meat ─ our foods are perfectly designed to match their biological needs and feature high inclusions of meat, organs and bones.
Our previous ZIWI Peak air-dried packages featured 98% meat, organs and New Zealand green mussels, and our wet food featured 92% meat, organs and New Zealand green mussels (93% for cats). While high meat inclusions are important, an optimal balance of nutrients is essential too.
Although our foods have sufficient levels of both omega 6 and 3, to achieve optimal balance, we've added lecithin, a source of omega 6. As a result, the overall meat inclusions in our air-dried packages have been reduced to 96%, and our wet food is now 91% for dogs, and 92% for cats.
While your pet likely won't notice the small change, our foods are designed to ensure peak conditioning; so you and your pet can continue to enjoy life's adventures together!
Do I need to add supplements when feeding ZIWI Peak?
ZIWI Peak foods are complete and balanced for all life stages and all breeds. We do not recommend adding supplements to your pet's diet unless specifically recommended by your veterinarian.
How often should I feed my dog or cat?
We recommend feeding your pet twice daily. We suggest talking with your veterinarian to determine the best feeding schedule for your pet.
Why is there sometimes variability in my ZIWI Peak food?
ZIWI Peak is a natural food, handcrafted in small batches, featuring high inclusions of meat and organs and excludes artificial fillers, dyes and preservatives. This, in combination other natural factors such as age and seasonality of the ingredients we use, often results in variability of shape, size, color, texture and odor. This variation is perfectly normal and is an indicator as to how natural the food really is!
What is the difference between your air-dried and canned food?
The foundation of ZIWI Peak's air-dried and wet recipes are the same ─ both are rich in New Zealand sourced meat inclusions and low in carbohydrate. The main difference is moisture content. ZIWI Peak air-dried foods feature up to 14% moisture, while our wet foods feature up to 78% moisture. Whether you choose our air-dried or wet foods (or maybe both) either option is a complete and balanced food that your pet will surely love!
Are your canned formulas raw?
ZIWI Peak wet foods are made with New Zealand sourced raw meats and organs. When canned, our foods are sealed and heated in order to preserve and stabilize the contents. They are heated at the minimum temperature and time required to meet the international regulations for human and pet canned foods.
What are New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussels?
The New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel (GLM) is exclusive to New Zealand and is a rich natural source of glucosamine, chondroitin, glycogens, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which nutritionally support long-term joint health, as well as promoting a healthy skin and coat. All ZIWI Peak recipes contain at a minimum of 3% GLM, farmed using ecologically-sustainable practices.
Do I need to slowly transition between different proteins?
We recommend you transition between flavours over a few days, however if your pet has a sensitive stomach we suggest you transition more slowly over a week. Please refer to our transition guide.
Can I rotate different ZIWI Peak proteins?
There are differing opinions on the topic of rotating proteins. If you decide that it is the best option for your pet, we recommend a gradual transition between proteins, to minimize the potential for digestive upset. Please refer to our transition guide.
