My Thoughts On CMON & Kickstarter
If you are into modern board games, it's likely you've at least heard about Kickstarter. The multi-billion dollar company plays a critical role in the funding of both large and small tabletop game projects, with some sources even estimating that Tabletop Games contribute to more than a third of the company's total annual revenue. In 2021 alone, more than 30 projects in the Tabletop Games category raised over $1 million in funding.
Last week, CMON finished funding their 50th project on the platform, Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game. It raised just over $9 million to become the 4th most funded tabletop game project ever on the platform. It's a remarkable achievement.
Despite not backing the project myself, I still found myself drawn to following along with the project and its updates. There's a reason CMON consistently raises millions and millions of dollars with each new project they launch on the site, and it's not just because they have the rights to publish Marvel games. CMON has turned successful Kickstarter projects into a science. Regular updates to keep backers engaged, new expansion add-ons released at regular intervals to continue driving the funding up anytime it hits a lull, stretch goals constantly being unlocked and revealed to throw the comments section into a tizzy... You may not think dropping $300, $400, $500+ on a game is worthwhile or exciting, but almost 30,000 people disagree with you.
There are several recurring complaints that come up any time CMON runs a big project and today I want to address each of them.
(Note: I'm not going to be talking about Kickstarter's transition to blockchain in this post. That is a very complicated subject to discuss that isn't really relevant to talking about large companies using crowdfunding.)
Complaint #1: They Use FOMO
Any time CMON launches a new project, I find myself at a crossroads. From the standpoint of game design, I tend to not like the way they approach expansions. I've always been a bit averse to expansions that are just "more of the same", which is often what CMON expansions are. They're boxes upon boxes of more asymmetric characters (and plastic) to play with. That being said, I spent $300+ going all-in on Marvel United: X-Men last year, so I can't really talk...
Therein lies my own dilemma. A lot of people criticize CMON projects for being so excessive when it comes to expansions and add-ons and using FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to drive up your pledge to seemingly ridiculous amounts of money. But, when they consistently raise millions and millions of dollars from tens of thousands of backers, it's hard to fault CMON for doing it.
It makes me question if I'm just being a bit self-righteous and pompous for my ideas of what an expansion "should be". People love the projects they run and the games they put out and they make a lot of money from doing them, so why should they stop?
A lot of people like getting excited about getting everything they can and don't have a problem with getting drawn in by "FOMO". You may not like those kinds of expansions, but nobody is forcing you to buy them. If you don't think they are worthwhile, then don't get them. Don't get mad at CMON for making them.
Complaint #2: They Don't "Need" to Use Kickstarter
"Kickstarter is not a store". You might be familiar with this phrase. It's been Kickstarter's motto from their inception and despite how much their platform has changed over the years, they still maintain that it is their core principle. "Kickstarter is not a store, it's a place to bring creative projects to life." You are making an investment when you back a Kickstarter project. If the creator is able to bring it to life, then they'll share it with you, but you aren't "buying" a product, at least not in the traditional sense.
But when you have a huge publisher like CMON on the platform, you'll see a lot of complaints about "CMON doesn't need Kickstarter to fund a project. They use it as a pre-order system, so they shouldn't even be on the platform."
I'll admit, I was one of those people for a long time until I asked myself "Who cares?"
Honestly, it's all fine and dandy for Kickstarter to claim that they aren't a pre-order system or a store, but that's not really true when it comes to projects from larger creators like CMON. And who cares if that's not true? Who does it hurt?
CMON benefits in being able to drum up a lot of attention for their game, they get as good of an idea as they can get about how many copies of a game they need to manufacture, and they get the funds they need to manufacture all those copies. They don't have to risk millions of dollars manufacturing a product and then end up with way too many extra copies or not enough copies to fulfill demand.
Likewise, from a backer perspective, you get to be involved in the excitement of the project and stretch goals and interact with thousands of other people that are excited about the game. You may have to wait upwards of year to receive your game, but that would happen if CMON ran pre-orders off of Kickstarter as well.
Who cares if they "need" Kickstarter, it works for them and there are a lot of benefits for everyone involved. Leaving Kickstarter would mean that they would have to take on a lot more financial risk and/or have a smaller audience involved in whatever sort of pre-order they would be using.
Complaint #3: It Hurts Small Creators
As the quality and size of projects on Kickstarter has grown, it's become harder and harder for small creators to launch and successfully fund projects. Across all categories, only 40% of projects successfully reach their funding goal. I should know how hard it is, I funded my first project last year.
Gone are the days where you can easily launch a board game without having lots of artwork done already, a well-designed page, lots of review copies sent out, a polished project video. Bigger creators have more money to market their games, more money to spend on artwork and graphic design, more money to spend on project videos, more money to spend of pre-production samples, etc...
If you look at Kickstarter's core mission of being a place to help creators bring their ideas to life, you could definitely argue that the platform has evolved into a more competitive place, and that large companies using it hurts that core mission.
On the flip-side, I would argue that it is that very competition that leads to less projects that fail to fulfill. You really have to know what you are doing to survive and thrive on Kickstarter. You can't throw together a project haphazardly, do nothing before you launch to raise awareness, and then expect it to go very well. Those are the kinds of projects are the ones that are hurt the most by the way Kickstarter has evolved, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
While I would agree that large creators using Kickstarter doesn't really fit in with their core philosophy, I personally don't think it matters. Kickstarter has evolved and that's okay. Business is business. Competition leads to better products. Small creators can still thrive on Kickstarter if they put in the necessary research and work to do so.
What do you think about larger companies like CMON using Kickstarter? Let's talk in the comments below!

I have to admit. I love my job, Seriously I do. I work with the best people, some of my nearest and dearest friends. And this issue of Homestyle is no different. It is packed with great people, amazing homes, and another little something from yours truly! It is also an issue dedicated to the women who brought us into the world. So in keeping, I raided my mothers collection of goodies, the beautiful wood tea trolley, brass jug and feathers, all from her curation. And she was even there hands on helping me, foraging for the Eucalyptus, mixing up the concrete…I tell you what, being pregnant is the only time I will ever get away with letting my mama carry everything! So thanks Coco Darling!…In that respect, three generations made these concrete candles.
So here are some out takes. My mood board influenced by the ever talented Stephanie Somebody, and Ariele Alasko. The way I prepare, good old story boards, A snap of the goodies I used to style and the final product. My little behind the scenes if you will.
ONE Start by rinsing out your containers. I used Pringles canisters, but you could use cardboard milk cartons, or anything else you can cut the top off to pour the concrete in, and tear away once it's dry.
TWO Make up your concrete, following the instructions on the pack. Make sure it is thoroughly combined and the right consistency. NOTE: The more water you use the smoother the finish.
THREE Using a funnel, pour in your concrete up to the height you want. Then tap the base on the ground to settle the mixture and get rid of any air bubbles. Top up if you need to. Push and jiggle the candle into place, making sure it's straight and stable. Let the candles dry overnight.
FOUR Remove from the mould by tearing away the cardboard container – there may be a bit of concrete dust when doing this, so it's best to do it outside. Finally, I washed mine in cold water and used a hard bristle brush to clean away any residual dust. And you're done – go grab a lighter!
And to see the whole feature go buy yourself a copy, and maybe one for your mum.
Finally I get to share some of my exciting news!
I am now a contributor for Homestyle Magazine! I get my own regular little Blackbird corner, And the first one hits your new stands this weekend!
In this issue we revel in the glory of summer! With staycation dream homes, including our dear friend Claire & Alex from Wildwood. Wes Anderson inspired camping and some delish Caribbean recipes. And a little Outdoor Cinema action from yours truly!
Be on the look out for your own downloadable invites and popcorn cards!!

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the interplay of global and local standardization processes and how can these be effectively managed. Based on the longitudinal case study of the Health Management Information System (HMIS) implementation in Tajikistan, the paper analyses how the adoption and usage of global standards of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) contributes to the improved quality of health data for clinical and statistical purposes and the related implications it has for the health service delivery. The analysis focus onto negotiation processes among various stakeholders of HMIS in interplay between the global standards and local implementation of these standards through the lens of proposed conceptual framework of 'global and local interplay of HMIS standards'. Three distinct approaches developed by stakeholders in redesign of HMIS standards were identified, each having advantages and limitations. Further varying level of ICD use in these approaches is discussed along with future prospects from gradual use and institutionalization of ICD.

Canadian Perspective On The Keystone Following The Election
Link here to Calgary Herald.
As Canadian political and business leaders expressed optimism the proposed Keystone XL pipeline will win approval under a re-elected President Barack Obama, environmental opponents and the U.S. ambassador to Canada cautioned the energy megaproject isn't a slam dunk.
But Obama, who earlier this year rejected TransCanada Corp.'s initial application because it needed more environmental review, has remained noncommital about the fate of the line, which would ship Alberta oilsands product to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
By the way, that reminds me, I need to post the top ten "to do" list for the EPA.

Holiday Gift Suggestion: A Book -- Double Entry, Jane Gleeson-White
Link here to the bookkeeper of Venice, the WSJ's book review of Double Entry, by Jane Gleeson-White.
I never, never buy business books -- I used to, but haven't bought one in ages. But I might make an exception for this one. This looks fun.
Double-entry bookkeeping was greeted by the kind of ecstatic commentary normally reserved for scientific discoveries. Goethe referred to it as "among the finest inventions of mankind."
Why such excitement? For a start, double entry represents a feat of quantification. Every asset or liability and each exchange is given a monetary value and recorded in the same currency.
The German sociologist Werner Sombart, author of "Modern Capitalism," a six-volume work of intellectual history published before World War II, went so far as to claim that, by encouraging regular record-keeping, mathematical order and the reduction of events to numerical abstractions, double entry contained the germ of the later scientific revolution.
After Sandy, No One Lined Up for Wind Turbines -- WSJ
Link here to the WSJ.
Let's consider what a wind-powered hospital in New York might look like. NYU's Langone Medical Center lost power shortly after Sandy hit. The hospital had diesel-fired emergency generators, but basement flooding caused them to fail. [One would think that lessons from the Japanese nuclear disaster would have taught us something, but I digress.] [The power failure] required the evacuation of hundreds of patients.
Assume the hospital needs one megawatt of emergency electricity-generation capacity. Lives are at stake. It needs power immediately. That capability could easily be provided by a single, trailer-mounted diesel generator, which would occupy a small corner of the hospital's garage (and be safely removed from any flooding threat).
By contrast, providing that much wind-generation capacity would require about 5.6 million square feet of land—an area of nearly 100 football fields. And all of that assumes that the land is available, the wind is blowing, and there are enough transmission lines to carry those wind-generated electrons from the countryside into Lower Manhattan.
Last year the mayor of New York pledged $50 million to Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal" campaign. The WSJ suggested he won't be making a similar pledge for Sierra Club's parallel "Beyond Oil" campaign.
Thank goodness.
But I bet there are a few folks in NYC wishing the major had pledged $50 million to shore up conventional utilities in case of global warming catastrophes that have been predicted since at least 1992 by Al Gore. Wow, a short synopsis of how long folks have had to prepare for global warming disasters predicted by Al:
Gore became interested in global warming when he took a course at Harvard University with Professor Roger Revelle, one of the first scientists to measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Later, when Gore was in Congress, he initiated the first congressional hearing on the subject in 1981. Gore's 1992 book, Earth in the Balance, dealing with a number of environmental topics, reached the New York Times bestseller list.
As Vice President during the Clinton Administration, Gore pushed for the implementation of a carbon tax to encourage energy efficiency and diversify the choices of fuel better reflecting the true environmental costs of energy use; it was partially implemented in 1993.
My goodness, the book was published in 1992 -- that's exactly 20 years ago. And it reached the New York Times bestseller list, so it wasn't exactly unheard of. Twenty years to prepare for one storm that barely reached Hurricane Level 1 status.
One cannot argue that Luddites were standing in the way of upgrading and hardening conventional utilities; there is an article in the same WSJ today talking about the strides being made with new technology, and all the money spent on conventional ways to protect utilities.
The problem is that advocates of wind energy to replace oil ("Beyond Oil") cannot do the math. The math doesn't add up. One small generator in the corner of a garage will match 100 football field-size windmill farms.
The WSJ:
If oil didn't exist, we would have to invent it. No other substance comes close when it comes to energy density (the amount of energy contained in a given unit of volume or mass), ease of handling or flexibility. A single kilogram of diesel fuel contains about 13,000 watt-hours of energy. That is about twice the energy density of coal, six times that of wood, and about 300 times that of lead-acid batteries. (And those batteries are useful only if they have been charged by some other energy source.)
[And no, we're not going to run out of fossil fuel any time soon.]
A hundred football fields of windmill farms to power one hospital for emergency services only. [I have not verified the Journal's figures.]
And folks get alarmed by a quarter-acre pad that will support a well that will produce upwards of one million bbls of oil over its 30-year lifespan.

OK, You Be The Judge:
What's worse:
"We're from the government and we are here to help."
"Hey, we're from FEMA -- you know that federal emergency agency -- we're closing shop due to weather." (Their clipboards will get wet.)
Meanwhile: the US Post Office -- Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
I can't make this stuff up.
I assume the Red Cross and Salvation Army will remain behind when FEMA leaves due to weather.
And then this: Long gasoline lines likely for weeks post-Sandy.
This is quite remarkable. I thought they were making progress. Link here to NBC New York. It's not gonna help that the election is over and recovery efforts take on less urgency at the federal level.
Significant damage to northern New Jersey petroleum distribution facilities -- including the region's largest refinery -- could keeps lines long at the gasoline pumps for weeks, ....
When Sandy came ashore last week, the Bayway Refinery in Linden, N.J. took on 12 feet of salt water, ....
Floodwaters damaged critical equipment, hampering the facility's ability to pump gasoline into pipelines that are typically accessed by tanker trucks.
The Bayway refinery is the most productive refinery in the tri-state region, processing about 238,000 barrels of crude oil per day. On the East Coast, Bayway is second only to a plant operated by Philadelphia Energy Solutions, which has a production capacity of 335,000 barrels a day.
I didn't see FEMA mentioned in the article.
STO (BEXP) To Make Bid For WLL?
November 9, 2012: Statoil completely denies. One needs to parse the denial. Smile.
Link here.
$7.6 billion for Whiting? Market cap today is $4.95 billion.
7.6 - 4.95 --> 2.65
2.65/4.95 --> 53%
WLL has $1.6 billion in debt.
BEXP had about 385,000 net acres in the Bakken when bought by STO.
WLL has about 700,000 net acres in the Bakken, including some very, very nice sweet spots, and a great business plan/strategy for developing the Bakken.
385 + 700 --> 1.085 million. Just shy of CLR's "1.1" million net acres if their most recently announced deal goes through.
7.6 + 1.6 --> 9.2
9.2 billion / 700,000 acres --> $13,000/Bakken acre
Diamond Resources paid a bonus of $15,000/Bakken acre in the November ND state land lease auction.
From the November, 2012, WLL corporate presentation:
Gulf Coast: 1 mboed
Michigan: 2.6 mboed
Rocky Mountains (Bakken, Niobrara, Utah), headquarters in Denver: 60 mboed
Mid-Continent (Oklahoma): 8.4 mboed
Permian (west Texas): 11 mboed
Pie chart: Permian Basin, 37%; Rocky Mts, 46%
Drilling locations (net)
Northern Rockies (Bakken): 334
Southern Rockies (non-Bakken, such as Niobrara and Utah): 283
Permian: 338
Mid-Continent: 189
CAPEX: at $885 million, CAPEX for Northern Rockies ALONE accounts for almost 50% of WLL's total CAPEX.
Back to drilling locations:
Subtract out the Bakken (334): 810 net drilling locations. Thirty percent of their drilling locations accounting for almost 50% of total CAPEX, which includes corporate-wide facilities, land, EOR, etc.
DNR sold its Bakken acreage and pulled back to its core competency in the south/southwest. Might WLL be considering selling its Bakken assets and pulling back to its heritage?
NOG Beats By a Penny; Doubles Production, Year-Over-Year

Ecuador, Argentina, Chevron
Argentina will embargo all of Chevron's assets in that country until they make good on the $19 billion Ecuadorian environmental claim. That's too bad; Chevron had just signed an agreement with Argentina to develop their oil and gas reserves.
Asians Buy More US Energy Assets
I would not have posted this, the 3Q12 earnings report for Devon since I do not follow the company, but somehow I stumbled upon it, and was curious why they experienced a steeper decline in revenue than expected. Before finding the answer, I read this:
The company also agreed in August to sell 30% of its interest in about 650,000 net acres in the oil-rich Cline and Midland-Wolfcamp Shales in West Texas to Japan's Sumitomo Corp. in a deal valued at about $1.4 billion.
And so it goes. We are selling our debt (bonds) to China, and our oil and gas to China and Japan.
Oh, the reason for the steeper-than-expected revenue decline:
Devon has seen its bottom line weaken in recent quarters on hedging losses. And like a number of energy producers, the company has turned its attention to oil as natural-gas prices remain weak. Last month, Devon unveiled plans to consolidate its U.S. exploration and production operations group at its Oklahoma City headquarters by the end of the first quarter, resulting in the closing of its Houston office.
By the way, does this paragraph in the story mean anything to anybody (it preceded the explanation for the revenue decline):
Devon Energy Corp. swung to a third-quarter loss on a large asset-impairment charge as the independent oil and gas producer posted a steeper-than-expected revenue decline.
That's a rhetorical question; don't answer. Your time is better spent pondering why we are selling our energy assets to Japan and China. That's rhetorical, also.
Two Inches of Beautiful White Global Warming Blanketing Belmont, Massachusetts
Got up at 3:30 to shovel snow off the sidewalks and driveway.
Wow! Talk about a beautiful morning. The global warming is still coming down, I suppose, about a half-inch per hour. It is extremely wet and very heavy. On the streets, which have been cleared, it is turning to liquid along the edges -- so no "black ice." At least not in this area. And unless it gets colder again as the day goes on, I'm sure most of this will melt off later today.
There's a law in Massachusetts that will put you in prison if someone slips on your sidewalk that has not been shoveled, so that's why we and the rest of Belmont were up at 3:30 to shovel snow. Not.

Neither of us really thought of this as drudgery -- it really was a beautiful morning. So, now to check a few things and then go back to bed.

Q: Static method inaccessible from a derived class How do I make a static method inaccessible from a derived class?
I have an inheritance of classes of the following type Square
from which rectangle and rhombus are derived. Then from the rectangle and rhombus a parallelogram is derived. Then from the parallelogram the trapezoid is derived.
I read all these objects (square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapeze) in an object vector, but in the end I want to show how many of each I have read. I want to do this through static functions for each class.
Here is the code:
class A
{
protected:
    static int n;
public:
    A();
    static void numberA()
    {
        cout << n;
    }
};

int A::n;

A::A(){ n++; }

class B:public A
{

protected:
    static int n;
public:
    B();
    static void numberB()
    {
        cout << n;
    }
};

int B::n;
B::B(){ n++; }

int main()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    A::numberA();
    cout << endl;
    B::numberB();

    return 0;
}

output:
2
1
And I want 1, 1 because it is one object of class A and one of class B.
I also tried to make the inheritance private or protected but for nothing.

A: The problem is that the constructor of the derived class will call the base class constructor too.
An easy fix could be to decrement the count of the base class in the derived constructor.
#include <iostream>

class A
{
protected:
    inline static int n_{};  // Since C++17
public:
    A()
    {
        ++n_;
    };
    static int number()
    {
        return n_;
    }
};

class B : public A
{
protected:
    inline static int n_{};
public:
    B()
    {
        ++n_;
        --A::n_;              // Decrease base count
    }
    static int number()
    {
        return n_;
    }
};

class C : public B
{
protected:
    inline static int n_{};
public:
    C()
    {
        ++n_;
        --B::n_;              // Decrease base count
    }
    static int number()
    {
        return n_;
    }
};

class D : public A
{
protected:
    inline static int n_{};
public:
    D()
    {
        ++n_;
        --A::n_;              // Decrease base count
    }
    static int number()
    {
        return n_;
    }
};

int main()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    C c;
    D d;
    std::cout << A::number() << '\n' << B::number() << '\n'
              << C::number() << '\n' << D::number() << '\n';

    return 0;
}

In response to Melanie Stefan's call for academics to write up their CV of Failures and in light of Johannes Haushofer's elegant entry, here is mine in all its "gories".
I just discovered this updated entry of yours about your CV of Failures. I link to it in my blog post about why grad students should start now to compile their own. Thanks for being a trailblazer.


Try something different with chicken tonight. This Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken is spicy and flavorful.
Hello! How are you all? We went on vacation to California for 10 days. We went to San Francisco and to a Jelly Stone Park for a family reunion. It was one of the best vacations yet. We went to Alcatraz island for a tour, that was interesting after watching the movie Escape from Alcatraz the week before. We fit in so much during those 10 days that I haven't left my house much for almost a week! I made this delicious chicken recipe when we got back home. Whenever I go on vacation, I enjoy all the dining out, then I can't wait to get home and eat a homemade meal.
This chicken and sauce has heat and tanginess. It's great over rice, with a side of black beans. I tried a pressure cooker for the first time with black beans, I think the beans took 50 minutes, and they were perfectly tender!
Below is my YouTube video about how to make this Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken. You can follow me on YouTube, here.
Add the everything to the slow cooker expect the chicken, stir until everything in the sauce is combined. Add the chicken, I liked to swish the chicken in the sauce so each piece is completely covered.
Serve the chicken and sauce over rice. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this recipe.
I tried this recipe as is and I am very disappointed. The sauce was too tangy.

Top 5 PC Games 2022
Tech News Pk February 18, 2022
The World is a beautiful place and if you're like me, I love playing games on my Windows PC or Xbox One with an old television stuck in the basement. My personal recommendations are Grand Theft Auto IV (which is based on the original game) and Skyrim 3D for those that want some fun RPG action. These should be able to run well and keep their download size well below 90 MB.
In recent years, there's been a lot of PC gamers and they often get confused about which devices to play their favorite console titles on. From Nintendo Wii systems all the way through Apple's iOS, PC gaming is such an important part of life and there's no doubt it's still as popular as consoles. For PC gamers, one of the most essential components to enjoy console gameplay would be good graphics with great sound quality. If your only option with these devices has been to just watching YouTube videos on Twitch or Facebook Live, then hopefully this list will help you decide between PC and Console gaming.
1. [Best pc Games Last 5 Years] Fallout 76
This is arguably the best PC game around but what really sets it apart from other similar offerings by EA is its sheer popularity. It's not even funny how far it's gone into a franchise and how many expansions it's received since its release. Bethesda's Fallout series has grown increasingly more intricate over time but the core game itself keeps things pretty simple and easy to understand. You have several different classes that each differ from the others which means you'll have different abilities which gives a lot of unique and interesting ways to combat enemies. It's very fast paced and provides plenty of replay value without being too overwhelming. In addition to all the above factors, it's also released 2 DLC packs which add new content regularly and give fans something to look forward to every year.
2. [Best Games Under 5 gb] Grand Theft Auto V
I think that GTA's second entry in the series was very clever and the overall gameplay style is simple. Just drive off into the city of Los Santos looking for criminals, loot from the dockers, etc. There's lots of cool bits of information that you can find to help you out but what makes this a masterpiece is how many people have played it across various platforms. What's even more impressive about it is how much attention went into making sure the game looks perfect to play on top of the stunning visuals. Players needn't care about their performance. They just need to do the basics right and all of them work beautifully. All the previous entries in the series were successful because of this.
3. [Top 5 pc Games In The World] Minecraft
Minecraft is one of the newest entrants to the PC scene and it continues to grow. Its popularity is mainly due to its ability to create a variety of worlds but what truly sets it apart is the sheer amount of content creators who play it. Every day new mods will come at exactly the same time making this version of Minecraft better than ever. With hundreds and hundreds of mods for the platform, it's clear why so many people continue to make Minecraft their main focus. This makes sure that everything works together seamlessly and smoothly. On top of everything else, players get to enjoy the fact that it's free to download and use. That does mean that having a cheap computer is key but don't worry this isn't going to drain your bank account quickly.
4.[Best 5 Player Games pc] Rainbow Six Siege
Everyone knows what Rainbow Six Siege is but before we get into talking about the actual story behind it, let's talk about the first installment. Back in 2013 you get a base campaign mission where you take down an entire team for the next 100 hours. At the beginning of each season you receive special gear and you learn different strategies that must be learned depending on the team you choose. After completing the full story mode, you unlock weapons and other items to help you win battles. Each season ends with a special world event which sees teams defeating the enemy team for the prize pool. Everything moves pretty steadily throughout the seasons and if you want to know more, check out the expansion packs. While there's plenty for everyone, many gamers will prefer to complete the full story mode as opposed to doing random missions which can be uninteresting. However, when everything works brilliantly and well combined you end up with a massive pile of cash while waiting for the third season to start. This is definitely worth checking out if you haven't already completed the game yet and you want to get started with Steam and Modern Warfare.
5. [Top 5 Free pc Games] Destiny 2
If you've played any FPS or otherwise, Destiny 2 is easily the greatest open world video game player has played over the last decade. Even if you do play another video game or two, it's hard to see how anything else could possibly compare to Destiny 2. When it comes to characters, you can pick who you'd like to play against with different factions and subclasses. As for story, Destiny always feels mysterious and unpredictable at times and the twists and turns never seem to disappoint. Despite the difficulty to control every aspect of Destiny, what makes it what it is is the endless amount of content available with multiple modes, moldable skins, outfits and additional content. Some would say that the expansion packs have the best content to date but this is by design so no matter how long it takes to finish, you will achieve ultimate victory.

Home Government & Politics International Orgs
What Is the Purpose of the WTO?
According to its own website, the purpose of the World Trade Organization, WTO, is to monitor WTO trade agreements, facilitate trade negotiations, mediate trade disputes, monitor international trade policies and provide assistance to developing economies. The majority of the world's trading nations are WTO members, and each member nation sends representatives to periodic WTO meetings to negotiate on its behalf.
Established in 1995, the WTO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization was born out of a set of negotiations, known as the Uruguay Round, held between most of the world's economies. The WTO describes itself as a proponent of free-flowing and reliable trade between nations but also introduces certain barriers to trade if they are required to protect consumers or inhibit the spread of disease.
Trade agreements are the main tool that the WTO uses to further global trade. These agreements regulate the trade of goods, services and intellectual property. Trade agreements spell out general policies for trade between members, and the WTO states that each agreement also contains a lengthy list of special commitments that exist between one member nation and another. The procedure for dispute resolution is another important component of trade agreements. Trade agreements are designed with the input of member nations and voted upon by members. More than 60 trade agreements have passed since the organization's inception, and they are periodically reviewed and revised.

Pirani é um robusto medidor de condutividade térmica usado para realizar a medida de pressões de sistema que estão no vácuo. Ele foi inventado por Marcello Pirani em 1906.

O princípio de funcionamento do medidor Pirani tem como base a condutividade térmica dos gases como sendo um indicador de sua pressão, visto que a capacidade de um gás conduzir calor está dependente da sua pressão (isto porque, à medida que a pressão diminui, existe menos partículas do mesmo gás a chocar umas com as autras). Esses tipos de medidores são utilizados para medidas de uma faixa de pressão desde a atmosférica até 10−4 Torr.

Num medidor pirani, dois filamentos atuam como resistências em dois ramos de uma ponte de Wheatstone. São os filamentos de referência que são imersos em uma pressão fixa, enquanto que os filamentos de medida são expostos ao sistema de gás.

A corrente através da ponte aquece ambos os filamentos. Moléculas de gás atingem os filamentos aquecidos e arrancam parte do seu calor, variando a temperatura e assim variando a resistividade do filamento. Se a pressão do gás ao redor do filamento de medida não está idêntica à que está ao redor do filamento de referência, a ponte fica desbalanceada e o grau de desbalanco é um indicativo da medida da pressão. Na realidade medidores pirani eletricamente modernos, ajustam o desbalanço e usam a corrente necessária para levar ao balanço como uma medida da pressão.

Posted on March 3, 2019 March 3, 2019 by Jolie
OMAHA — March 3, 2019 — Artistic director Erika Overturff has announced American Midwest Ballet's plans to open an official school.
Susan Chowning, director of Motion41 Dance, will join American Midwest Ballet's staff as school director. The studio's co-director, Matthew Lovegood, will continue in his role as ballet master of the professional ballet company.
Chowning and Lovegood's west Omaha dance studio — which has served as American Midwest Ballet's rehearsal space since the company's founding ten years ago — will become the initial site of the new school, Overturff said.
When the time comes, the company and school operations will be consolidated within American Midwest Ballet's future home, the Hoff Family Arts and Culture Center in Council Bluffs, with Motion 41 eventually phasing out its operations.
The new $27 million, 95,000-square-foot facility, now under construction, will offer exciting opportunities for the professional ballet company and the school's students.
"Our company and school will be housed in a state-of-the-art performing arts center, brimming with everything from music lessons to art exhibits," says Overturff.
"People will be immersed in creativity from the moment they walk through the doors."
While classical ballet training will be at the heart of the program, the school's offering includes classes in a variety of styles including jazz, tap, and contemporary dance.
"American Midwest Ballet School will include an academy division focused on developing high levels of technical skill, as well as a community division with a wide range of classes for children, teens and adults," says Chowning.
Faculty members will include current American Midwest Ballet professional dancers and former professionals with extensive teaching experience.
"A great dance teacher can have a huge positive influence on a young person's life and development," says Overturff. "We can't wait to begin encouraging and inspiring the next generation of young dancers."
Registrations for American Midwest Ballet School open April 15, with classes beginning July 15.
American Midwest Ballet, formerly Ballet Nebraska, brings the beauty, athleticism, and energy of professional ballet to audiences in the Midwest and beyond. Performing at home and on tour, its mission is to provide enrichment through programs of the highest quality: professional dance performances, educational programs, and community outreach.
The Hoff Family Arts and Culture Center, scheduled to open in 2020, is a project of Pottawattamie Arts, Culture and Entertainment (PACE), a nonprofit organization dedicated to forging a robust cultural environment by creating a new comprehensive arts center and forming alliances with performance partners.

Washington — OSHA is not doing enough to ensure it has complete information on work-related deaths and severe injuries, and is not consistent in citing establishments that fail to file required reports, the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General states in an audit report released Sept. 13.
OIG also found a "lack of guidance and training on how to detect and prevent underreporting," along with inconsistency in issuing citations to late reporters. Further, OSHA "had limited assurance employers abated hazards properly," the report states, leading OIG to conclude that the agency does not have enough information to direct its enforcement and compliance assistance actions.
Develop guidance and train staff on identifying underreporting.
Consistently issue citations to all late reporters.
Clarify guidance on gathering evidence to show employers have corrected all hazards, monitoring employer-conducted inspections and documenting essential decisions.
Conduct inspections on all Category 1 incidents.
OSHA disputed some of OIG's recommendations in a letter from acting leader Loren Sweatt. Sweatt states that "OSHA agrees that better case documentation" could aid in promoting consistency in issuing citations, but expresses concern that the report suggests the "burden to ensure reporting of injuries and illnesses falls on the agency" instead of employers.
She also responds to each of the OIG recommendations and writes that, in certain instances, OSHA might learn about a failure to report after the six-month statute of limitations has expired, meaning the agency cannot issue a citation.
"OSHA commented on a number of the results and recommendations, but nothing in its response changed our report," OIG countered.


You know you've been witnessing a season from the ages when falling down the dugout steps and spraining your ankle isn't the most embarrassing thing done by Luis Castillo. The damndest part of Castillo's injury is that he wasn't tracking a foul ball or chasing down an overthow when he took a tumble. He was simply walking back into the dugout after his at-bat in the seventh inning, something that's happened more than 100,000 times without incident this season alone.
How does something like this happen? The easiest answer is that Castillo just tired of the misery of the season and decided to throw himself down the stairs to give himself an out. Earlier Tuesday, the Mets learned Jose Reyes' leg injury has once again gotten worse and that he's unlikely to return this season. Perhaps Castillo, despondent for his double-play partner, saw a chance to join him and end the pain.
On a side note, where did the Mets' medical staff do their training? Medieval England? Reyes is closing in on three months on the disabled list with what started out as tendinitis in the calf. That became discomfort in a tendon in the knee (even if Jerry Manuel thinks you don't need tendons) and for all we know may now be a full blown case of Hanta Virus. It may be time for the Mets doctors to start ordering chicken salad on untoasted rye.
Back to Castillo, what else could it be other than a personal choice to end the madness? Johan Santana was pitching on Tuesday, so there could have been one of those big chipotle cheesesteaks he's so enamored with left on the stairs. Rumor has it that they're big, even big enough to send a second baseman down the steps big. If it's a tasty sandwich, though, why would it be left on the steps for anyone to feast on?
Then there's the chance that this Mets season is actually one of those "Final Destination" movies. The Mets roster escaped death and now the fates are coming for them to settle the score. Given the nature of the other players injured, that would leave David Wright as the guy who sees what's coming before it happens.
With the weight of that knowledge on his shoulders, is it any wonder that his power has disappeared this season?


I'm running SBS 2003 at home (as most of you probably know), and it has a modem in it. I don't do much faxing... because, well, email is cooler :). But what I would like, is some way to have an the server answer the actual phone with a message, and deliver the message into the specified exchange inbox.
Then once the message is left, the .wav file is delivered to the specified users inbox within Exchange.
It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but that's what I had in mind. Does anyone know of such an application? Help is greatly appreciated.
I don't have it on SBS but I still use a version of Talkworks (came with Winfax) sitting on a workstation doing what you ask.
It's a service called Vonage. That's how I worked from AU. I forwarded my cell phone to my Vonage number. Also the SBSmigration.com numbers are Vonage based. The only tradeoff is that you either need to forward your regular line to it, or abandon your regular phone to use IP phone permanently.
I believe the program "Microsoft Speech Server 2004" does this. It does actually a lot of more stuff. But the requirements of this program are pretty serious. 2GB of RAM and 2.5Ghz Dual Pentium IV.
This is one of the few places where MS dropped a very nice product. Microsoft Phone. This product would answer the phone, and drop your voicemail into your Inbox. You also had the ability to call your home and have it read your email via MS Voice.
I was really disappointed when this got dropped. I've always hoped this would come back in some other MS product.
Hrm, I haven't heard of this application before. I spent some time today digging through the archives, but haven't been able to find it, do you know what year MS Phone came out and if that was the official name?
There are several voice integration solutions for Exchange 2003, the latest and "bestest" probably being Adomo Voice Messaging for Exchange (www.adomo.com), and one the earliest and most robust being Cisco Unity line of products.
The con is that these are corporate solutions (for 500+ users) and tend to use separate hardware to interface with PBX boxes.
I haven't found a one-server solution that simply uses the server's modem for environments with just a few users.
Single-CD install, linux based system that you can have up and running in a flash. Adding in a $25 pci fxo card will enable you to connect Asterisk to a single incoming analog line, and then on the internal side, allows functionality normally reserved for office-style PBX installs, including integrated messaging.
Free softphones are available, so you can (in theory) connect to your home line from anywhere you have your PC. To hook up a standard analog phone to the system inside your network, you'll need to add an fxs pci card to your server as well.
I have the answer for your answering machine problem - and cheap.
Easiest setup ever with IVM.
Now if you don't want to replace your modem and want unified messages (both fax and voice) you can get a VOIP account from (lots of places) and have your IVM answer that line and you still have the modem to answer faxes.
Just a thought which is amazing lots of my clients - JUST NO RDP to the server (use Secure VNC).

Treborce Vineyards
Designed and installed by SolarCraft, the 34.1 DC solar electric photovoltaic system at Treborce Vineyards in Healdsburg, CA, will lower their utility costs by almost $7,000 per year and reduce the environmental impact of their energy use.
The solar power system is ground mounted in the vineyard, powering the residence and the irrigation pumps, consisting of 110 high-efficiency 310 watt solar panels and 3 inverters. The system will produce 47,331 kWh annually and deliver 100% of the power needs to the residence and ag pumps.
With a 25 year warranty and 40+ year design life on the major system components, this system will be positively affecting Treborce's bottom line for many decades. With a federal tax break and improved solar technology, this clean, infinitely renewable power source is appealing to those looking for true sustainability and energy savings.
During the life of the system, over 837 metric tons of carbon dioxide will be eliminated. This impact is equivalent to removing air pollution produced by almost 82,000 miles of driving annually or the pollutants removed by over 39 acres of trees in one year.

Q: lists intersection in prolog i'am new in Prolog ,
i tried to write 5 lists and get the intersection between them ,
how i can achieve that, ** lists will be defined in file so it's not input from the user .
i see many resources they implement it with two lists and its work fine if i make list as query from user ...
but when i try to pre-defined lists in file it's not work.

simple description of part of my project to more clarify...
menus will display and user will select one from each of the season , weather condition , occasion...
lists will be about what clothes are appropriate
so for example  user select "winter" season, "rainy" weather condition and "wedding"occasion
lists for each of them
    rainy([take_umbrella, jacket,coat]).
winter([jacket,sweater,coat,take_umbrella]).
wedding ([take_umbrella,dress,jacket,coat]).

so the result form intersection will be take_umbrella ,jacket,coat
i hope my idea is clear, and thank you in advance:)

A: I try to predefined lists in file and it's work. Y your lists in file it's not work? I do not know. I fix your errors because your paste is not error free then it's work.
?- winter(Winter),
   rainy(Rainy),
   wedding(Wedding),
   intersection(Winter, Rainy, Winter_and_Rainy),
   intersection(Winter_and_Rainy, Wedding, Winter_and_Rainy_and_Wedding).
Winter = [jacket, sweater, coat, take_umbrella],
Rainy = [take_umbrella, jacket, coat],
Wedding = [take_umbrella, dress, jacket, coat],
Winter_and_Rainy = Winter_and_Rainy_and_Wedding, Winter_and_Rainy_and_Wedding = [jacket, coat, take_umbrella].

But if it's not know how many list maybe you make list and reduce.
?- % make some lists L1, L2, ..., Ln,
   foldl(intersection, [L1, L2, ..., Ln-1], Ln, Intersection).

When is winter on a rainy wedding you reduce like:
?- winter(Winter), rainy(Rainy), wedding(Wedding),
   foldl(intersection, [Winter, Rainy], Wedding, Intersection).
Winter = [jacket, sweater, coat, take_umbrella],
Rainy = Intersection, Intersection = [take_umbrella, jacket, coat],
Wedding = [take_umbrella, dress, jacket, coat].

You see order of element is change but is it problem? For me no problem.

Century Square office development.
Posted On Monday, 12 March 2001 03:01	Published by	eProperty News
INVESTORS have snapped up units in Century Square, an R80m sectional title office block to be developed on the canal overlooking the award-winning nature conservation area at Century City.
INVESTORS have snapped up units in Century Square, an R80m sectional title office block to be developed on the canal overlooking the award-winning nature conservation area at Century City. Roger Harries, a director of developers Harries Projects, said Century Square would provide the most unique and enviable office environment in the country. "Investors have recognised this and have committed to more than 25 percent of units ahead of the official launch of the project.
"This is exceptional but the site is truly outstanding, offering the best of both worlds - a strong corporate environment boasting the regional offices of Vodacom, PQ Africa, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the like combined with uninterrupted views into perpetuity of the beautfiul and tranquil nature conservation area which is rich in birdlife and indigenous flora. It must be a first for South Africa, if not the world and it is a once-off, not to be repeated opportunity," he said.
Harries said the building would capitalise on its canal side position overlooking Intaka Island, the award winning wetlands conservation area, with most of the units having canal frontage and views of both the wetlands and Table Mountain.
"The water and wetlands offer a wonderful antidote to the stresses of modern day living and, because it is a nature conservation area, there is no risk of losing your views down the line."
Harries said there had been a strong move in recent years away from developing boring office environments to the creation of lifestyle orientated accommodation.
"This is what the market is now demanding and Century City as a whole, and Century Square in particular, are a response to this demand."
Harries said tenants or owners at Century Square will be able to moor boats on the canal or catch water taxis to Canal Walk and/or Intaka Island.
"It will offer an unparalleled lifestyle for those working there and a great investment opportunity," he said. Century Square, which will be built as an intelligent building, will comprise 10 500 square metres of prime office space with units ranging in size from 50 square metres to 1000 square metres or larger.
The development is the first opportunity of its kind at Century City for small to medium size corporate and professional owner-occupiers and investors.
Designed along the lines of the successful Roeland Square in Cape Town and the more recent Westlake Square, Century Square will be built around a paved communal landscaped square with a coffee shop.
Multiple gabled entrances within Century Square will provide a limited number of superb and unique opportunites for naming rights and strong corporate branding opportunites for tenants.
Harries said they were developing Century Square as an "intelligent" building providing direct Internet access for tenants at a highly competitive rate.
Construction is due to start in June this year with completion scheduled for June 2002.
Harries said the project offered buyers a superior investment opportunity with units selling from R5650 per square metre. If investors were to buy a unit for R350 000 and let it at a gross rental of R69 a square metre, which was achievable, it would provide a net return of 13% in the first year, he said.

Themes and topics
The famous (many would say infamous) French writer, designer, playwright, artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau is probably best known for his films and for his novel Les enfants terribles, but here we concentrate on Cocteau as artist-illustrator, and specifically on the two semi-autobiographical books for which he produced carefully considered illustration portfolios – one now known to have been written by him, the other by his close friend.
Jean Cocteau's talent was prodigious and precocious, his creativity and sensitivity sparked early by his father's suicide when he was nine, his first important physical relationship with schoolmate Pierre Dargelos which would resurface throughout Cocteau's oeuvre, and leaving home when he was just fifteen. By his late twenties he had already established important friendships with writers Marcel Proust and André Gide, theatre designer Léon Bakst, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, and artists Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani.
He was always drawing, mostly in pencil, and over the years produced many hundreds of sketches for himself and for his vast circle of friends, lovers and acquaintances. Many if not the majority of his drawings involved nudity, and he was fascinated by the human body, especially the male body. Whether Jean Cocteau is better described as gay or bisexual is open to interpretation; he had many intimate friends of both (and all) sexes, but his closest intimates were his men friends, by far the most important being the actor Jean Marais, who was his constant companion from when they met in 1937 until Cocteau's death.
For more information about the important relationships in Jean Cocteau's life, an excellent illustrated resource can be found on the homohistory website.

The US military fired thousands of rounds containing mutagenic weapon depleted uranium during strikes against purported Daesh (ISIL) positions in Syria in late 2015, reports said on Tuesday.
"They used it all over Syria where these battles have been, but they also armed terrorists with depleted uranium weaponry. The whole country now, where the battles have been whether on battlefields or in urban regions, are all contaminated. And that has to be cleaned up before they rebuild the cities, parts of Damascus, almost all of Aleppo, and villages too," she added.
According to experts, the use of depleted uranium is a war crime, a crime against humanity, and an act of genocide, because the civilian population's exposure to depleted uranium causes genetic damage, birth defects, cancer, immune system damage, and other serious health problems.
"The DU was used of course in 2003 in the invasion of Iraq but it was introduced in 1990 in the Iraq invasion by President George H. W. Bush. And that's the first time the US had used that on the battlefield anywhere," Dr. Moret said.
"However, [then US secretary of state Henry] Kissinger gave depleted uranium weaponry in 1973, in the Yom Kippur War, to the Israelis to use against the Arabs from Egypt," she added.
"And I had calls from Israeli women, or American women, living on kibbutzim in Israel at that time – they were American women living in Berkeley, California, where I am, and they said all the women in their families who were living on kibbutzim had breast cancer and asked me if it came from that war, and I said, 'Yes'," she stated.
"The genetic damage to people in Iraq has been very, very extensive. I worked very closely with Iraqi doctors. I have been on tours of Japan and supported them and testified for them at press conferences all over Japan, and in other areas – Germany. We had a World Depleted Uranium Weapons Conference that was fantastic," Dr. Moret said.
"The health effects are very well-known. I made a map. I collected data from newspapers and news sources on conjoined twinning from around the world but especially from Iraq. And conjoined twinning is when two twins are born but they are attached to each other. This has always been a rare occurrence. But it escalated in the United States during the atmospheric testing of the nuclear bombs," she noted.
"The US and all of its allies are using depleted uranium weapons in Iraq, but also in Syria from their first entry into the Syrian battlefield. They are absolutely lying about it. They used it and given it to all the terrorists. And they are continually resupplying it to the terrorists," the expert said.
"Russia had used depleted uranium very, very rarely, and only in the bunker buster bombs that they had to use to destroy underground bunkers and tunnels," she pointed out.
Baghdad on fire during "Shock and Awe" US bombing in March 2003.
"The purpose of using depleted uranium, introducing it in the year 1990 to the battlefield, was genocide, and to target not just the country where the war was going on, but also it's surrounding neighbors," Dr. Moret noted.
In 2003, the US military fired hundreds of thousands of rounds in densely populated areas during the invasion of Iraq, causing a sharp rise in congenital birth defects, cancer, and other serious health problems.
The Iraqi government had expressed "its deep concern over the harmful effects" of the controversial material.
A UN report on depleted uranium released in 2014 said weapons containing DU "constitute a danger to human beings and the environment" and called on the United Nations to conduct in-depth studies on their effects.
According to Iraqi doctors and many international health scientists, the use of DU weapons in Iraq caused the outbreak of diseases that were not previously seen in the country, such as new illnesses in the kidney, lungs, and liver, as well as total immune system collapse.
They also argued that DU contamination was connected to the sharp rise in leukemia, renal, and anemia cases, especially among children, across the Arab country in recent years.


The Department of Agriculture (DA) said the agriculture sector has incurred damages and losses worth P1.82 billion due to Typhoon Rosita, which hit some parts of northern Luzon last week.
The typhoon, according to DA, affected a total of 90,052 hectares of agricultural areas in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Regions I, II and III with an estimated volume of production loss at 98,060 metric tons (MT).
"The increase in values is attributed to the reports of CAR, Regions I and II. These values are subject to validation," DA said.
The damages and losses for rice recorded the most increase with an amount of P1.39 billion, affecting 4,921 farmers in Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mt. Province, La Union, Pangasinan, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Zambales.
This commodity also contributes mainly to the overall damages and losses at 76.67 percent.
The affected area is now at 76,696 hectares out of the total rice standing crop of 543,993 hectares, while the volume of production loss is at 73,337 MT.
Most of the affected rice crops are on their reproductive stage, which were mostly reported as partially damaged.
Damages and losses for corn, on the other hand, now amount to P47.02 million, affecting 6,824 farmers in the provinces of Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Pangasinan, Cagayan, Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya.
The affected area is 6,317 hectares out of the total corn standing crop of 96,030 hectares. The estimated volume of production loss is at 519 MT. Most of the affected corn crops are on their seedling stage.
As for high value crops, the amount of damages and losses has increased to P373.86 million, affecting 7,375 farmers with 7,040 hectares of area and an estimated production loss volume of 24,203 MT.
Affected crops include coffee, fruit trees (banana, mango and rambutan) and assorted vegetables in Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino. These crops are mostly on their reproductive stage.
There are also reported damages in livestock amounting to P2.51 million affecting 20,408 heads (20,334 poultry, 55 swine, 15 goat and 4 sheep) and 81 farmers in the province of Isabela.
Meanwhile, damages have also been reported in fisheries that total to P881,000.
Those affected in fisheries include sea urchin produce, lift nets, payao and facilities (Community Fish Landing Center (CFLC), Regional Mariculture Technodemo Center (RMATDEC), and Integrated Fisheries Laboratory (IFL)) in the provinces of Ilocos Norte, La Union and Pangasinan affecting 12 fisherfolk.

Industrial Commercial Properties expands Solon holdings with $3.5M deal
STAN BULLARD
Crain's Cleveland Business
Industrial Commercial Properties paid $3.5 million to buy the building at 6680 Parkland Blvd. in Solon through a Cuyahoga County receivership's sale.
Industrial Commercial Properties (ICP), a Solon-based property owner with a portfolio extending from Detroit to Pittsburgh, often searches far for acquisitions.
But its latest deal was across the street from its home base.
Through 6680 Parkland Solon LLC, ICP in December paid $3.5 million for the 82,000-square-foot building at that address on Parkland Boulevard, according to Cuyahoga County property records. The building was sold through an offering by a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court receiver after falling into foreclosure because it was empty. However, it won't stay empty much longer.
Austin Semarjian, an ICP acquisition and leasing associate, said he had watched the building sit unused and pursued it for two years because it has an exceptional amount of office space as well as attached warehouse space that could be leased to industrial tenants. Click to read article.
