With a new tube station opening in Mayfair in 2018, this prime location in the heart of the West End underwent a makeover to meet the demand for high-quality mixed-use property.
To redevelop 7-10 Hanover Square we brought together our wide ranging expertise. After we appointed the professional team, helped shape the designs and took them through planning, we oversaw the demolition of the existing 1970s office building and are replacing it with a high-quality commercial, residential and retail development.
Rather than emulating existing period styles, the revitalised eight-storey building now enhances its surroundings and brings new depth and diversity to the square, which was desperately in need of premium office space.
In addition to providing extra office space, the mixed-use building includes six luxury flats and units for either retail or restaurant use, expertly finished to the highest standards by Como, our fit out business.
7-10 Hanover Square is now one of the most sought-after locations for commercial and financial tenants and has enhanced the area's reputation as a desirable spot for investment
"We consider 7-10 Hanover Square to be among the very best buildings in London and Mace has been instrumental in helping us to deliver on our vision."

Points of note
The royal treatment
Hanover Square sits in a prestigious and historical area of London and our development aspires to provide an iconic piece of modern real estate that contributes, and is sensitive to, the local heritage.
Going green for Mayfair
The design of the building reduces carbon emissions 25% further than UK building regulations require. This reduction has been achieved through the installation of features such as photovoltaics and gas powered combined heat and power. In additional to the structural work and mechanical and engineering services on the project, an energy strategy has been prepared and directly contributed to the target BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.
An architect's dream
Our mixed-use project has helped Hanover Square to regain its status as a prestigious address by creating a modern, forward-looking development with the style and scale suitable for this historically rich location.
A turnkey solution with Como's early engagement
We offered a one stop solution to the client's needs as Como were appointed to the project to do the Cat-B fit out of the project. By working in collaboration with our construction professionals they were able to engage really early on the project, adding value even while construction was still in progress.

You are here: Home › What are acceptable blood sugar levels?
We all wonder what is an acceptable blood sugar level? Is there a right answer to this question, is there really an acceptable blood sugar level that meets everyone's needs and criteria?
There are doctor's all over the world and physicians who will all argue various numbers are acceptable blood sugar levels for diabetics. There are so many factors they play a vital part in people's acceptable blood sugar level that it is hard to pinpoint one certain number that everyone can fall into or under.
Acceptable blood sugar levels are normally determined on a person's fasting blood glucose level. The best way for a doctor or physician to determine a person's acceptable blood sugar or average is by having them log or keep a daily journal for a certain period or length of time which will then give them an average blood glucose level in which the doctor will determine as their own personal acceptable blood sugar level.
An acceptable blood sugar level can be determined by several different factors such as a person's age, weight, height, race, ethnic background, gender or health history. The national acceptable blood sugar level falls within a range of 78-102, below 78 is considered low and above 102-115 is considered high. The national acceptable blood sugar level has been determined by taking and comparing people's glucose levels all over the world in order to determine an average or acceptable blood sugar level.
If your blood sugar level doesn't fall into one of these categories then don't sweat it or get upset because you need to remember that this is just an average based on other people and may not be an acceptable blood sugar level for yourself. Everyone has a different body type, age, height and weight so we all need to remember what may be acceptable or okay for one person may not be the same acceptable blood sugar level for yourself.

Mass Shootings: The Military-Entertainment Complex's Culture of Violence Turns Deadly
Posted: October 4, 2017 in Uncategorized
Tags: gun control, las vegas shooting, mass shootings, militainment, military industrial complex, police state, violence
"Mass shootings have become routine in the United States and speak to a society that relies on violence to feed the coffers of the merchants of death. Given the profits made by arms manufacturers, the defense industry, gun dealers and the lobbyists who represent them in Congress, it comes as no surprise that the culture of violence cannot be abstracted from either the culture of business or the corruption of politics. Violence runs through US society like an electric current offering instant pleasure from all cultural sources, whether it be the nightly news or a television series that glorifies serial killers."—Professor Henry A. Giroux
This latest mass shooting in Las Vegas that left more than 50 people dead and more than 500 injured is as obscure as they come: a 64-year-old retiree with no apparent criminal history, no military training, and no obvious axe to grind opens fire on a country music concert crowd from a hotel room 32 floors up using a semi-automatic gun that may have been rigged to fire up to 700 rounds a minute, then kills himself.
We're left with more questions than answers, none of them a flattering reflection of the nation's values, political priorities, or the manner in which the military-industrial complex continues to dominate, dictate and shape almost every aspect of our lives.
For starters, why do these mass shootings keep happening? Mass shootings have taken place at churches, in nightclubs, on college campuses, on military bases, in elementary schools, in government offices, and at concerts. This shooting is the deadliest to date.
What is it about America that makes violence our nation's calling card?
Is it because America is a gun culture (what professor Henry Giroux describes as "a culture soaked in blood – a culture that threatens everyone and extends from accidental deaths, suicides and domestic violence to mass shootings")?
Is it because guns are so readily available? After all, the U.S. is home to more firearms than adults. As The Atlantic reports, gun fetishism has become mainstream in recent decades due in large part to "gun porn in music, movies, and TV, [and] the combination of weapons marketing and violent videogames." (Curiously enough, the majority of gun-related deaths in the U.S. are suicides, not homicides.)
Is it because entertainment violence is the hottest selling ticket at the box office? As Giroux points out, "Popular culture not only trades in violence as entertainment, but also it delivers violence to a society addicted to a pleasure principle steeped in graphic and extreme images of human suffering, mayhem and torture."
Is it because the government continues to whet the nation's appetite for violence and war through paid propaganda programs (seeded throughout sports entertainment, Hollywood blockbusters and video games)—what professor Roger Stahl refers to as "militainment"—that glorify the military and serve as recruiting tools for America's expanding military empire?
Is it because Americans from a very young age are being groomed to enlist as foot soldiers—even virtual ones—in America's Army (coincidentally, that's also the name of a first person shooter video game produced by the military)? Explorer scouts are one of the most popular recruiting tools for the military and its civilian counterparts (law enforcement, Border Patrol, and the FBI).
Writing for The Atlantic, a former Explorer scout described the highlight of the program: monthly weekend maneuvers with the National Guard where scouts "got to fire live rounds from M16s, M60 machine guns, and M203 grenade launchers… we would have urban firefights (shooting blanks, of course) in Combat Town, a warren of concrete buildings designed for just that purpose. The exercise always devolved into a free-for-all, with all of us weekend warriors emptying clip after clip of blanks until we couldn't see past the end of our rifles for all the smoke in the air."
Is it because the United States is the number one consumer, exporter and perpetrator of violence and violent weapons in the world? Seriously, America spends more money on war than the combined military budgets of China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, Italy and Brazil. America polices the globe, with 800 military bases and troops stationed in 160 countries. Moreover, the war hawks have turned the American homeland into a quasi-battlefield with military gear, weapons and tactics. In turn, domestic police forces have become roving extensions of the military—a standing army.
Or is the Second Amendment to blame, as many continue to suggest? Would there be fewer mass shootings if tighter gun control laws were enacted? Or would the violence simply take a different form: homemade bombs, cars driven into crowds, and knives (remember the knife assailant in Japan who stabbed 19 people to death at a care home for the disabled)?
Then again, could it be, as some have speculated, that these shootings are all part of an elaborate plan to incite fear and chaos, heighten national tensions and shift us that much closer to a complete lockdown? After all, the military and our militarized police forces have been predicting and preparing for exactly this kind of scenario for years now.
So who's to blame for the violence?
This time, in Las Vegas, it was a seemingly nondescript American citizen pulling the trigger.
At other times, it's organized crime syndicates or petty criminals or so-called terrorists/extremists.
Still other times, it's the police with their shoot first, ask questions later mindset (more than 900,000 law enforcement officers are armed).
In certain parts of the Middle East, it's the U.S. government and the military carrying out drone strikes and bombing campaigns that leave innocent civilians dead and their communities torn apart.
Are you starting to get the picture yet?
We're caught in a vicious cycle with no end in sight.
Perhaps there's no single one factor to blame for this gun violence. However, there is a common denominator, and that is a war-drenched, violence-imbued, profit-driven military industrial complex that has invaded almost every aspect of our lives.
Ask yourself: Who are these shooters modelling themselves after? Where are they finding the inspiration for their weaponry and tactics? Whose stance and techniques are they mirroring?
In almost every instance, you can connect the dots back to the military.
We are a military culture.
We have been a nation at war for most of our existence.
We are a nation that makes a living from killing through defense contracts, weapons manufacturing and endless wars.
In order to sustain the nation's appetite for war over the long haul in spite of the costs of war in lives lost and dollars spent—and little else to show for it—the military has had to work overtime to churn out pro-war, pro-military propaganda. It's exactly what President Eisenhower warned against ("the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex") in his 1961 farewell address.
We didn't listen then and we're still not listening now.
All the while, the government's war propaganda machine has grown more sophisticated and entrenched in American culture.
Back when I was a boy growing up in the 1950s, almost every classic sci fi movie ended with the heroic American military saving the day, whether it was battle tanks in Invaders from Mars (1953) or military roadblocks in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). What I didn't know then as a schoolboy was the extent to which the Pentagon was paying to be cast as America's savior.
By the time my own kids were growing up, it was Jerry Bruckheimer's blockbuster film Top Gun—created with Pentagon assistance and equipment—that boosted civic pride in the military.
Now it's my grandkids' turn to be awed and overwhelmed by child-focused military propaganda in the X-Men movies. Same goes for The Avengers and Superman and the Transformers. (Don't even get me started on the war propaganda churned out by the toymakers.)
All of the military equipment featured in blockbuster movies is provided—at taxpayer expense—in exchange for carefully placed promotional spots aimed at indoctrinating the American populace into believing that patriotism means throwing their support behind the military wholeheartedly and unquestioningly.
Even reality TV shows have gotten in on the gig, with the Pentagon's entertainment office influencing "American Idol," "The X-Factor," "Masterchef," "Cupcake Wars," numerous Oprah Winfrey shows, "Ice Road Truckers," "Battlefield Priests," "America's Got Talent," "Hawaii Five-O," lots of BBC, History Channel and National Geographic documentaries, "War Dogs," and "Big Kitchens." And that's just a sampling.
It's estimated that U.S. military intelligence agencies (including the NSA) have influenced over 1,800 movies and TV shows.
And then there are the growing number of video games, a number of which are engineered by or created for the military, which have accustomed players to interactive war play through military simulations and first-person shooter scenarios.
This is how you acclimate a population to war.
This is how you cultivate loyalty to a war machine.
This is how, to borrow from the subtitle to the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove, you teach a nation to "stop worrying and love the bomb."
As journalist David Sirota writes for Salon, "[C]ollusion between the military and Hollywood – including allowing Pentagon officials to line edit scripts – is once again on the rise, with new television programs and movies slated to celebrate the Navy SEALs….major Hollywood directors remain more than happy to ideologically slant their films in precisely the pro-war, pro-militarist direction that the Pentagon demands in exchange for taxpayer-subsidized access to military hardware."
Why is the Pentagon (and the CIA and the government at large) so focused on using Hollywood as a propaganda machine?
To those who profit from war, it is—as Sirota recognizes—"a 'product' to be sold via pop culture products that sanitize war and, in the process, boost recruitment numbers….At a time when more and more Americans are questioning the fundamental tenets of militarism (i.e., budget-busting defense expenditures, never-ending wars/occupations, etc.), military officials are desperate to turn the public opinion tide back in a pro-militarist direction — and they know pop culture is the most effective tool to achieve that goal."
The media, eager to score higher ratings, has been equally complicit in making (real) war more palatable to the public by packaging it as TV friendly.
This is what Dr. Stahl refers to as the representation of a "clean war": a war "without victims, without bodies, and without suffering":
'Dehumanize destruction' by extracting all human imagery from target areas … The language used to describe the clean war is as antiseptic as the pictures. Bombings are 'air strikes.' A future bombsite is a 'target of opportunity.' Unarmed areas are 'soft targets.' Civilians are 'collateral damage.' Destruction is always 'surgical.' By and large, the clean war wiped the humanity of civilians from the screen … Create conditions by which war appears short, abstract, sanitized and even aesthetically beautiful. Minimize any sense of death: of soldiers or civilians."
This is how you sell war to a populace that may have grown weary of endless wars: sanitize the war coverage of anything graphic or discomfiting (present a clean war), gloss over the actual numbers of soldiers and civilians killed (human cost), cast the business of killing humans in a more abstract, palatable fashion (such as a hunt), demonize one's opponents, and make the weapons of war a source of wonder and delight.
"This obsession with weapons of war has a name: technofetishism," explains Stahl. "Weapons appear to take on a magical aura. They become centerpieces in a cult of worship."
"Apart from gazing at the majesty of these bombs, we were also invited to step inside these high-tech machines and take them for a spin," said Stahl. "Or if we have the means, we can purchase one of the military vehicles on the consumer market. Not only are we invited to fantasize about being in the driver's seat, we are routinely invited to peer through the crosshairs too. These repeated modes of imaging war cultivate new modes of perception, new relationships to the tools of state violence. In other words, we become accustomed to 'seeing' through the machines of war."
In order to sell war, you have to feed the public's appetite for entertainment.
Not satisfied with peddling its war propaganda through Hollywood, reality TV shows and embedded journalists whose reports came across as glorified promotional ads for the military, the Pentagon turned to sports to further advance its agenda, "tying the symbols of sports with the symbols of war."
The military has been firmly entrenched in the nation's sports spectacles ever since, having co-opted football, basketball, even NASCAR.
Remember, just before this Vegas shooting gave the media, the politicians and the easily distracted public something new to obsess over, the headlines were dominated by President Trump's feud with the NFL over players kneeling during the national anthem.
That, too, was yet another example of how much the military entertainment complex—which paid $53 million of taxpayer money between 2012 and 2015 to pro sports teams for military tributes (on-field events recognizing military service members, including ceremonial first pitches, honor guards and Jumbotron tributes)—has infiltrated American culture.
This Trump-NFL feud is also a classic example of how to squash dissent—whether it's dissent over police brutality or America's killing fields abroad. As Stahl explains, "Supporting the troops is made synonymous with supporting the war. Those who disagree with the decision to send soldiers to war are thus identified with the enemy. This is done through a variety of associations… Dissent becomes synonymous with criminal activity."
When you talk about the Las Vegas mass shooting, you're not dealing with a single shooter scenario. Rather, you're dealing with a sophisticated, far-reaching war machine that has woven itself into the very fabric of this nation.
As Stahl concludes, "War has come to look very much like a video game. As viewers of the TV war, we are treated to endless flyovers. We are immersed in a general spirit of play. We are shown countless computer animations that contribute a sense of virtuality. We play alongside news anchors who watch on their monitors. We sit in front of the crosshairs directing missiles with a sense of interactivity. The destruction, if shown at all, seems unreal, distant. These repeated images foster habitual fantasies of crossing over."
You want to stop the gun violence?
Stop the worship of violence that permeates our culture.
Stop glorifying the military industrial complex with flyovers and salutes during sports spectacles.
Stop acting as if there is anything patriotic about military exercises and occupations that bomb hospitals and schools.
Stop treating guns and war as entertainment fodder in movies, music, video games, toys, amusement parks, reality TV and more.
Stop distribution weapons of war to the local police and turning them into extensions of the military—weapons that have no business being anywhere but on a battlefield.
Most of all, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, stop falling for the military industrial complex's psychological war games.

The Second Amendment: A Symbol of Freedom or An Invitation to Violence?

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." — The Second Amendment to the US Constitution
You can largely determine where a person will fall in the debate over gun control and the Second Amendment based on their view of government and the role it should play in our lives.
Those who want to see government as a benevolent parent looking out for our best interests tend to interpret the Second Amendment's "militia" reference as applying only to the military.
To those who see the government as inherently corrupt, the Second Amendment is a means of ensuring that the populace will always have a way of defending themselves against threats to their freedoms.
And then there are those who view the government as neither good nor evil, but merely a powerful entity that, as Thomas Jefferson recognized, must be bound "down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." To this group, the right to bear arms is no different from any other right enshrined in the Constitution, to be safeguarded, exercised prudently and maintained.
Unfortunately, as I document in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, while these three divergent viewpoints continue to jockey for supremacy, the U.S. government has adopted a "do what I say, not what I do" mindset when it comes to Americans' rights overall. Nowhere is this double standard more evident than in the government's attempts to arm itself to the teeth, all the while viewing as suspect anyone who dares to legally own a gun, let alone use one.
Indeed, while it still technically remains legal to own a firearm in America, possessing one can now get you pulled over, searched, arrested, subjected to all manner of surveillance, treated as a suspect without ever having committed a crime, shot at and killed. (This same rule does not apply to law enforcement officials, however, who are armed to the hilt and rarely given more than a slap on the wrists for using their weapons against unarmed individuals.)
Just recently, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case of a Texas man whose home was subject to a no-knock, SWAT-team style forceful entry and raid based solely on the suspicion that there were legally-owned firearms in his household. Making matters worse, police panicked and opened fire through a solid wood door on the homeowner, who had already gone to bed.
Earlier in the year, a Florida man traveling through Maryland with his wife and kids was stopped by a police officer and interrogated about the whereabouts of his registered handgun. Despite the man's insistence that the handgun had been left at home, the officer spent nearly two hours searching through the couple's car, patting them down along with their children, and having them sit in the back of a patrol car. No weapon was found.
In 2011, a 25-year-old Philadelphia man was confronted by police, verbally threatened and arrested for carrying a gun in public, which is legal within the city. When Mark Fiorino attempted to explain his rights under the law to police, police ordered him to get on his knees or else "I am gonna shoot ya." Fiorino was later released without charges.
A provision in a Washington State bill would have authorized police to search and inspect gun owners' homes yearly. Connecticut has adopted a law banning the sale of large-capacity magazines and assault weapons. And a bill moving through the New Jersey legislature would reduce the number of bullets an ammunition magazine could hold from 15 to 10.
Under a proposal by the Department of Health and Human Services, anyone seeking mental health treatment–no matter how benign–could find themselves entered into the FBI's criminal background check system and have their Second Amendment rights in jeopardy. They would join the ranks of some 175,000 veterans who have been barred from possessing firearms based solely on the fact that they received psychiatric treatment through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Meanwhile, the government's efforts to militarize and weaponize its agencies and employees is reaching epic proportions, with federal agencies as varied as the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration placing orders for hundreds of millions of rounds of hollow point bullets. Moreover, under the auspices of a military "recycling" program, which allows local police agencies to acquire military-grade weaponry and equipment, $4.2 billion worth of equipment has been transferred from the Defense Department to domestic police agencies since 1990. Included among these "gifts" are tank-like 20-ton Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, tactical gear, and assault rifles.
Ironically, while the Obama administration continues its efforts to "pass the broadest gun control legislation in a generation," which would include bans on military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and armor-piercing bullets, expanded background checks, and tougher gun-trafficking laws, the U.S. military boasts some weapons the rest of the world doesn't have. Included in its arsenal are armed, surveillance Reaper drones capable of reading a license plate from over two miles away; an AA12 Atchisson Assault Shotgun that can shoot five 12-gauge shells per second and "can fire up to 9,000 rounds without being cleaned or jamming"; an ADAPTIV invisibility cloak that can make a tank disappear or seemingly reshape it to look like a car; a PHASR rifle capable of blinding and disorienting anyone caught in its sights; a Taser shockwave that can electrocute a crowd of people at the touch of a button; an XM2010 enhanced sniper rifle with built-in sound and flash suppressors that can hit a man-sized target nine out of ten times from over a third of a mile away; and an XM25 "Punisher" grenade launcher that can be programmed to accurately shoot grenades at a target up to 500 meters away.
Talk about a double standard. The government's arsenal of weapons makes the average American's handgun look like a Tinker Toy.
It's no laughing matter, and yet the joke is on us. "We the people" have been so focused on debating who or what is responsible for gun violence–the guns, the gun owners, or our violent culture–and whether the Second Amendment "allows" us to own guns that we've overlooked the most important and most consistent theme throughout the Constitution: the fact that it is not merely an enumeration of our rights but was intended to be a clear shackle on the government's powers.
When considered in the context of prohibitions against the government, the Second Amendment reads as a clear rebuke against any attempt to restrict the citizenry's gun ownership. As such, it is as necessary an ingredient for maintaining that tenuous balance between the citizenry and their republic as any of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights, especially the right to freedom of speech, assembly, press, petition, security, and due process.
Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas understood this tension well. "The Constitution is not neutral," he remarked, "It was designed to take the government off the backs of people." In this way, the freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights in their entirety stand as a bulwark against a police state. To our detriment, these rights have been steadily weakened, eroded and undermined in recent years. Yet without any one of them, including the Second Amendment right to own and bear arms, we are that much more vulnerable to the vagaries of out-of-control policemen, benevolent dictators, genuflecting politicians, and overly ambitious bureaucrats.
When all is said and done, the debate over gun ownership really has little to do with gun violence in America. Eliminating guns will not necessarily eliminate violence. Those same individuals sick enough to walk into an elementary school or a movie theater and open fire using a gun can and do wreak just as much havoc with homemade bombs made out of pressure cookers and a handful of knives.
It's also not even a question of whether Americans need weapons to defend themselves against any overt threats to our safety or wellbeing, although a recent study by a Quinnipiac University economist indicates that less restrictive concealed carry laws save lives, while gun control can endanger them. In fact, journalist Kevin Carson, writing for Counter Punch, suggests that prohibiting Americans from owning weapons would be as dangerously ineffective as Prohibition and the War on the Drugs:
"[W]hat strict gun laws will do is take the level of police statism, lawlessness and general social pathology up a notch in the same way Prohibition and the Drug War have done. I'd expect a War on Guns to expand the volume of organized crime, and to empower criminal gangs fighting over control over the black market, in exactly the same way Prohibition did in the 1920s and strict drug laws have done since the 1980s. I'd expect it to lead to further erosion of Fourth Amendment protections against search and seizure, further militarization of local police via SWAT teams, and further expansion of the squalid empire of civil forfeiture, perjured jailhouse snitch testimony, entrapment, planted evidence, and plea deal blackmail."
Truly, the debate over gun ownership in America is really a debate over who gets to call the shots and control the game. In other words, it's that same tug-of-war that keeps getting played out in every confrontation between the government and the citizenry over who gets to be the master and who is relegated to the part of the servant.
The Constitution is clear on this particular point, with its multitude of prohibitions on government overreach. As 20thcentury libertarian Edmund A. Opitz observed in 1964, "No one can read our Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it wanted their government severely limited; the words "no' and "not' employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the first seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more times in the Bill of Rights."
In a nutshell, then, the Second Amendment's right to bear arms reflects not only a concern for one's personal defense, but serves as a check on the political power of the ruling authorities. It represents an implicit warning against governmental encroachments on one's freedoms, the warning shot over the bow to discourage any unlawful violations of our persons or property. As such, it reinforces that necessary balance in the citizen-state relationship. As George Orwell noted, "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
Certainly, dictators in past regimes have understood this principle only too well. As Adolf Hitler noted, "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." It should come as no surprise, then, that starting in December 1935, Jews in Germany were prevented from obtaining shooting licenses, because authorities believed that to allow them to do so would "endanger the German population." In late 1938, special orders were delivered barring Jews from owning firearms, with the punishment for arms possession being 20 years in a concentration camp.
The rest, as they say, is history. Yet it is a history that we should be wary of repeating. — John W. Whitehead

Bonobo 'Black Sands (10th Anniversary Edition)' 2xLP
Red vinyl.
Bonobo has announced a 10th anniversary edition of 'Black Sands,' marking a decade since the release of producer and multi-instrumentalist Simon Green's celebrated breakthrough record. The album captured a unique moment – it was adored by critics, being placed in Resident Advisor's and DJ Magazine's Albums of the Year charts and also by fans, selling over four-hundred thousand copies worldwide so far. Influenced by the divergent, bass-driven strands of the UK electronic music scene at that time, Green artfully fitted those evolving sounds into his own wider vision. The record's lasting importance stems from the depth that he found in those combinations, rattling two-step rhythms and heavy pressure sub-bass twinned with carefully crafted songwriting and lush, brightly-realised instrumentation.
To mark the milestone, the record is being given the special treatment with a new revamped physical edition. The limited edition double vinyl features a new cover image, taken by Green himself when he passed through the Lake District last year and tried to recapture the shot originally taken by Ewan Robertson, and will be pressed on red coloured vinyl and packed in a gatefold sleeve. Inside, it will come with offset printed paper inners and a 12" quality print of the original artwork.
It's a record that's both timeless and wonderfully of its time. From "Kiara," which weds cinematic, string-laden composition with chopped up vocals and luminous synth arpeggios, to "Eyesdown," where subterranean swells of bass meet Andreya Triana's warm, peerless vocals, the album is effortlessly multi-faceted. Listening back a decade later, it still sounds just as beguiling, emotive and transportive as it did the first time round.
Ten years on, and the record marks an important step in Green's stealthy but unstoppable rise to being one of the biggest electronic artists of our times. He now boasts six albums to his name, including career-defining 2017 album 'Migration,' which reached the UK Official Charts Top 5 and received two GRAMMY nominations (as did his 2019 single, 'Linked'), and he has played to sold-out concerts across the globe, bringing his revered live show to multiple nights at Alexandra Palace, Glastonbury and Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
In that time, Green has also cemented his reputation as a DJ. In 2019, he launched his 'OUTLIER Presents' series at iconic New York club Output, another club to add to a list which includes the likes of Sonar, fabric, De School and smartbar. Elsewhere, his two Boiler Room sessions, recorded in New York and London, have amassed millions of views each, and he has made a contribution to the legendary "fabric Presents" mix series.
Simon Green said the following for the Reissue's liner notes…
"Dalston, 2008. Having fled the comforts of Brighton, I began a new life in London which was new and exciting to me. There had been huge personal changes with family, relationships and cultural perspectives. Music was changing in the UK too. It felt at the time like the landscape of electronic music was constantly being reimagined in the basements of East London clubs. It felt fun again. It was inspiring. This new movement informed how I was making music.
There's a progressive arc in the sound of Black Sands creation. The title track was the first piece in place. Then the other live-sounding tracks like 'Animals' and 'El Toro'. This was picking up where I'd left off from the previous album Days to Come. As time went on and 2009 approached I'd become fully immersed in what was happening in the UK clubs. Places like Plastic People and warehouse parties in East London and Peckham. This was the post-dubstep era. Elements of House and 2-step. All wonky and joyful. It was fun and progressive. This influence can be heard on the tracks produced around then like 'Eyesdown' and '1009'.
All my records feel like a diary of the time and headspace they were made in and Black Sands documents this in real time for me. A transition of falling in love with beatmaking again. An appreciation of a place and time and an anticipation for what was going to happen next."

Virtual life lessons
Ivey students gain more than business knowledge from African learning course

Topic Featured 3 Teaching
By Dawn Milne
Despite the limitations of virtual learning, Ivey and African students participating in this year's Ubuntu Management Education Initiative have discovered not just new knowledge but also new personal relationships that span continents.
Launched in 2012 and led by associate professor Nicole Haggerty, HBA'89, PhD'04, the Service Learning in Africa course typically sends HBA students to African universities to demonstrate case-teaching and develop new African business cases. The goal is to help African schools build capabilities in case-based management education, while allowing Ivey students to better understand specific African business environments and cultures, and to experience personal growth through service.
This year, due to COVID-19, Ivey students participated in the course virtually in May. Although the students missed the in-person element, there were some unexpected positives to the new format.
Kyleigh Stubbs, an HBA'23 candidate who taught at the University of Rwanda, would not have been able to participate in person because of a work internship. The virtual learning opportunity allowed her to take the course while keeping her internship.
"'Zoom University' actually created more opportunities than would have been available in person," she said.

Zoom's transcript feature also allowed a deaf African student to participate in class, which Stubbs said would have been difficult in person since no one in her class knew sign language.
Bridging the distance
Despite challenges with technology, the Ivey and African students were able to forge strong connections.
"I was amazed at the kinds of relationships you can make virtually," said Alexandra Cleary, an HBA'22 candidate who taught at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. "I related to the African students very well. We talked about things like recruiting and starting an entrepreneurial venture."
Niels Hurst, an HBA'23 candidate, also bonded with his students at Addis Ababa University and did extra after-class virtual chats to get to know them better. Among other things, he learned about their appreciation for Kitfo, a traditional Ethiopian dish of raw beef.
Driving business growth in Africa
The Ivey students also saw firsthand the opportunities for business in Africa, learning from their African students who had entrepreneurial ideas.
Cleary has continued to support some students who are starting one of the first social media marketing companies in Ethiopia. And Stubbs is working with one of her students, Kalisa Godfrey, on growing his youth-based non-governmental organization, Youth For Rwanda.
Godfrey said the program helped him develop critical thinking, noting that his new skills will help him and his team with the final stages of pitch competitions.
"I'd like to thank Ivey and my lecturers for giving us a great opportunity that changed our capabilities and skills and transformed our lives," he said.
Another African student, Bemnet Getahun, from Hurst's class at Addis Ababa University, said learning through cases added to her business education. "For the first time since I started college, I felt like a business student, so the honour is all mine," she said.
The Ivey students also shared the program's impact on their personal growth, gaining new appreciation of their opportunities.
"They were so excited and prepared for the classes. They put their all into it. I will take that with me to my next classes. I will remember that it's a privilege to get an education," Cleary said.
Stubbs said she became a better communicator, built her network, and gained a new perspective of Africa. After being introduced to case teaching, she might even consider teaching one day.
"Regardless of what I end up doing, I've developed as a person. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone," she said. "I initially thought academic knowledge would be the biggest takeaway, but that was ultimately the most miniscule thing in the entire experience. It's perspective-changing and the most important takeaways will never be on my resumé."

I found this post really interesting and informative and certainly an alternative look on the palm oil issue.
What do you think of the current state of the worlds oceans and plastic pollution?
I have recently found a cool brand that does plastic free products called Whitewitch skincare, they are currently blowing up on Reddit have you got any experience of them?
I think one thing in the palm oil / Orang-utan discussion is important, they only live in one place which is overtaken by plantations. Being not the worst offender, it is the worst for the Orang-utans.
Iceland is the only country in the world that depends solely on renewable sources of energy (sans transport) and you're saying that the whole country is 'playing' at caring for the environment. That doesn't make sense. Get your facts straight before blogging on a subject. That alone already makes them an 'innovator in matters of environmental sustainability' as stated by yourself.
Just because Iceland released a commercial or whatever about the impact of Palm oil doesn't mean they're deviating from any issues. The demand for Palm oil is a huge issue that needs to be tackled before a tropical rainforest ecosystem collapse takes place. I'm defending Iceland and I'm not even Icelandic.. I am a scientist though, maybe I should be the one writing blogs.
Is this comment a joke? Iceland is a supermarket. I'm talking about a supermarket trying to sell themselves as eco friendly. I'm pretty sure this blog post makes that perfectly clear. Maybe read the whole post and do your research before commenting.

April 17 – Oradell, NJ – The Crusaders were without their #1 setter, but that just provided opportunity for freshman, Brian Mendoza to step-up. Mendoza registered 20 assists and 11 digs as BC defeated Ramapo 25-17, 13-25, 25-17. Dylan Anderson led BC with 18 Kills, 12 Service points, 5 aces and 11 digs.

April 16 – Oradell, NJ – The Crusaders found some redemption in the varsity match vs. Jefferson Township on Tuesday. After falling prey to the Falcons earlier, BC tamed the visitor 2-1 in a highly competitive match. The Crusaders took the first and third games of the set 25-19 and 25-21, and dropped a very close one, 23-25, in the middle in which Jefferson avoided the sweep.
Saraang Patel was phenomenal setting up hitters once again, earning 37 assists and adding 6 Service Points and 6 Digs. Dylan Anderson recorded 22 kills, 9 digs and 8 SPs, while Wesley MacNeil pitched in 1 Kills, 11 Digs and 8 SPs.
April 16 – Bergenfield, NJ – The Crusaders travelled into the den on Monday to start a new week and slew the occupants 25-18, 25-22. Saarang Patel recorded 24 Assists and 11 Service Points and Dylan Anderson made 19 kills to lead BC. Wesley MacNeill had another solid performance with 6 kills and digs and 4 SPs and Assists. Andrew Pinto-Shaw added a kill and Giovanni Perrone had 3 kills and one and a half blocks. Andrew Remias contributed an SP and a block for the Crusaders and Gabe Camacho added 2 SPs.
April 12 – Hackensack, NJ – The Crusaders travelled to the county seat and got off to a strong start, winning game one in its match with Hackensack HS 25-21. The home team was able to rally, however, taking the next two sets 25-20 and 26-24 to edge BC. Setup specialist, Saraang Patel recorded 28 assists and Dylan Anderson made 28 kills to lead the Crusader effort. Brian Mendoza had 15 digs and Wesley MacNeill added 11 of his own for BC. Andrew Remias and Gabe Camacho each pitched in 5 service points while Giovanni Perrone and Andrew Pinto-Shaw each contributed a pair of kills.
April 8 – Oradell, NJ – There was a lot of energy in the Hoehl Gymnasium on Monday as two division rivals met for the first time this year on the Crusaders' home turf. It was not to be however, as BC dropped two of two games by identical scores of 23-25, as close as a game can be.
With Teaneck winning the first game and BC trailing 22-23, they needed a spark. That's just what they got from their most talented setter and outside hitter. Saarang Patel lofted a beautiful pass from right to left and Dylan Anderson did what he does best: he provided a kill for his team off a colossal spike. That knotted the game at 23. Unfortunately, the Crusaders missed serve and after a timeout to prepare for the critical point, Teaneck saw its final point slip just over the net and outside the reach of a BC digger.
Patel finished the day with 22 sets while Anderson led BC with 13 kills. Brian Mendoza led BC with 9 digs and Wesley MacNeil led in Service Points with 6. Andrew Remias and Mendoza were right on his heels with 5 apiece. The Crusaders are now 3-3 on the young season.
April 6 – Jefferson Twp., NJ – The Crusaders travelled to take two Morris County powers, Jefferson and Chatham High Schools.
JEFFERSON SNEAKS BY CRUSADERS – In the opener, BC got the strong efforts it has come to expect from Dylan Anderson (1 ace, 3 service points, 11 kills, 2 blocks and 2 digs), Wesley MacNeil (1 ace, 4 SPs, 7 kills, 1 assist and 9 digs) and Saarang Patel (3 service points, 1 kill, 20 assists, .5 blocks and 4 digs). Brian Mendoza pitched in 5 digs and Gabe Camacho pitched in 4 service points as well. It was not enough, however, as the Falcons prevailed 25-20 and 28-26.
BC CLAWS BY COUGARS – In BC's second match, the Crusaders easily handled Chatham 25-9 and 25-19. Anderson led with a season high 17 kills and Patel recorded a season-high 26 assists on the day. Mendoza had another strong game, recording 3 service points and 6 digs, while MacNeil had 10 SPs, 4 kills and a team-high 7 digs. Andrew Remias added 7 service points, including an ace, 3 kills, 2 blocks and 1 dig. Giovanni Perrone provided 3 kills and Andrew Pinto-Shaw pitched in a kill and a dig in the win.
April 5 – Wayne, NJ – Dylan Anderson recorded 9 kills, 6 digs and a half block. Wesley MacNeil added 9 kills, 3 digs, 1 block and 6 service points and Saarang Patel assisted on 17 scores, recording a pair of kills, 6 service points and 2 digs. It was not enough, however, as BC fell to the Indians of Wayne Valley in two games 20-25 and 19-25.
April 3 – Ramsey, NJ – The Crusader Volleyball team travelled to Ironmanland and wielded a bigger sword in dismantling DBP 25-13, 25-13 in two games. Dylan Anderson recorded 11 kills and 4 service points and a dig. Welsey MacNeil led BC with 6 digs and 12 service points including an ace, plus 2 kills. Andrew Remias led the Scarlet and Gold with 2.5 blocks. He also provided 10 service points, 6 kills and 5 digs. Saarang Patel continued his torrid pace as leading set-up man with 19 assists. He added 2 kills and 6 service points as well. Gabriel Camacho added 5 service points and Brian Mendoza had 9 SPs and an ace. Giovanni Perone and Andrew Pinto-Shaw each recorded a pair of kills.
April 1 – Clifton, NJ – Senior Dylan Anderson recorded his 500th career kill on Monday as BC defeated the Mustangs from Clifton HS two games to one. The team played especially well in the bookend games establishing an insurmountable lead in the first game en-route to a 25-18 victory, then dropping a hard fought 25-23 game, but winning the last game very strong 25-14.
"I was able to get a picture with my parents and the ball," said Anderson, who was clearly appreciative of the opportunity, his accomplishment and the support of his parents.
Saraang Patel had a major day with 3 aces, 10 service points and 38 sets. Andrew Remias led the team with 15 service points and added 5 kills, 5 digs and an ace.
Wesley MacNeil and Brian Mendoza got down and dirty with double-digit digs. (On a personal note, I think that's a personal best for words starting with "d" in one sentence, for the author.) MacNeil recorded a team high 12 digs plus 7 service points, 7 kills and added 3 aces. Mendoza had 10 digs, 5 assists and one assist.
Senior Gabe Camacho showed off his service skills, recording 3 service points and Andrew Pinto-Shaw picked up a pair and added two kills. Giovanni Perrone ha d a block and three kills as BC starts the season 1-0.

This section of the manuscript is a list, arranged in calendar order, of the days on which benefactors to Christ Church, Canterbury, died. It enabled the community of monks to remember their benefactors on the anniversaries of their deaths. Dates are marked in red in the left-hand margin, according to the Roman calendar, and to the right of these are entries recording names and gifts. At the top of this page, for example, is King Edward, who gave property in 'Cherteham' (probably Chatham or Chartham, both in Kent) and 'Waleworth'. This is followed by Eilfnodus, who gave property in Orpington; King Egbert, who gave property in Malling; and so on.

A Website to Bring Holliston Sand from the Sandbox into the… Tarpit?


Claim to fame: Energetic and extremely friendly. Made as many friends in her previous volunteer experience in Guatemala as she did in Phnom Penh.
I have always had a passion for traveling and especially traveling to developing countries. I love being able to experience a new culture, to visit a new country, to meet new people, and to let my mind and thoughts wonder. I love being able to share my happiness, and positivity with others who need it and to provide hope to those who have lost theirs. Being a UBELONG Volunteer provided me with the trip of a lifetime. UBELONG set me up with everything I needed to become successful in all that I wanted out of my trip.
During my time in Cambodia so many memories stuck out to me. The most vivid would have to be meeting and creating a friendship with a little four year old girl named Slepat. I volunteered at an orphanage and worked with the three to four year old class. Everyday I would be greeted by this little girl, she would wait by the front door until I arrived and would cling to my leg for the whole day. She was always wanting to play with my bracelets, wanting me to do her hair and she climbed and hugged me all day. She was the cutest little thing, a ray of sunshine to me. The last day of volunteering I bought her and myself matching blue bracelets and gave her one. Seeing her face turn into the biggest grin I've ever seen was more than I could ever ask for. Knowing I was the reason she felt happiness for one minute in her life was amazing.
Now every time I look down at my bracelet it reminds me of her, of her free spirited, contagious smile, and her ongoing happiness that she always had even though she came from an abusive family and lived in a poor condition. I hope every time she looks at her blue bracelet she can feel that same happiness and love that she did from that one moment.
I have taken so much from the trip. It has opened my eyes and my heart in more ways than I ever thought it would. I got to see the world in someone else's eyes. It has made me realize how lucky and grateful I am.
Seeing the daily life struggles many Cambodians experience every day made me realize how insignificant my life problems are. Seeing poverty first hand, seeing a child suffer from starvation or malnutrition or abuse is so eye-opening. It makes me realize how many things I take for granted.
I am taking away a whole new outlook on life, to focus on the things and people that really mean a lot to me. To not focus on materialistic things. I will also cherish my day and time more. I want to inspire people to do good, to smile at strangers, to help someone everyday, to just do and be a symbol of good. I want to spread love and happiness in as many ways as I can.
My advice for a future volunteer is to first start out with a positive attitude. You will feel happiness, sadness, relief, grief, love and much more all at one time. You will see things you have never seen before and feel things you have never felt before.
Be excited for the opportunity you have received, respect their culture and be interested in it. Say yes to things, more than saying no. Be open to trying new things and don't have any worries. Let your mind wonder, and when it does, write down what your experiencing. Take as many pictures as you can. And leave your mark. Be the reason a child doesn't suffer from hunger for the day, turn a persons frown into a smile one day, help as much as you can. Share who you are and don't be afraid to meet new people. Don't have any expectations and just live in the moment. You will remember this trip for the rest of your life, so make the most out of it.

Capelli Sport Donates New Turf for Upper Field
Donation Totals Nearly $500,000
Mahishan Gnanaseharan and Andrew Sosanya
Headmaster Rev. Edwin Leahy, left, stands with CEO of Capelli Sport, George Altirs, right.
After 26 years of use, Fr. Anselm Murray O.S.B Field finally got a facelift last week.
Capelli Sport donated funds to install new artificial turf for St. Benedict's soccer program.
George Altirs, CEO of Capelli Sport, asked Head Soccer Coach Jim Wandling if the program needed any assistance. Mr. Wandling told him that the soccer program would benefit from a renovated field.
"The biggest possible contribution to the soccer program was a new field," Mr. Wandling said. "When I became the General Manager of Capelli's Cedar Stars, furthering soccer at St. Benedict's remained one of my top priorities," he said, citing the close relationship between the two organizations.
Fr. Anselm Murray O.S.B Field—known as "Hatcher Field" or the "Upper Field" to alumni and students—will receive three new stadium lights, according to Assistant Headmaster Michael Scanlan. He estimates that all donations, in addition to four new stadium lights for the Fr. Benedict Tyler O.S.B Field, total $500,000.
"Mr. Altirs and Capelli Inc. have a strong interest in youth soccer and want to use our location to attract more people to the sport," Mr. Scanlan said. "It also helps the school when guys come to play on our facilities and hear about success," he added.
The FIFA-approved Shaw Sports Turf will benefit St. Benedict's soccer players in multiple ways, according to the contractor, Applied Landscaping Technologies. "It's great for the hips, knees, and reduces the likelihood for injury in an athlete's long-term career," Jerry Harper, Director of Turf Operations, said. "This new turf emulates grass so well that there are few differences between the two," he added.
With proper maintenance, the school should be able to retain the newly installed turf for over 12 years, Mr.Harper said.

A while back I was writing about whether or not to introduce a computer to our setup. Now that I've had my MacBook Air for close to two months I wanted to write a follow-up on my experience so far.
So, was it a good idea? I'm still not sure, actually. I have some frustrating technical issues that I need to solve somehow. But when things behave, I am really, really pleased with the results I am getting. One minute I am having tons of fun playing and exploring all the new possibilities, the next I'm distracted by something I "have" to fix and google unix syntax for how to change process priorities or some very un-musical nonsense like that.
OS X failed to make a good first impression right out of the gate. It wouldn't even start up properly and I had to go online on another computer to figure out how to even get through the initial setup. I took this as an omen of what I had coming, and sure enough, the next weeks were spent trying to solve a seemingly endless series of technical problems. Most have been ironed out by now, however, and since the main task of the MacBook is as a companion for the Eigenharp, some of the quirky issues (like the fact that it for some reason is the only device in our household unable to download larger files from the web?!) are just minor niggles I haven't bothered to look into.
The main task I had in mind for the Mac was to run EigenD (the software for the Eigenharp), route audio and midi from that to soft synths hosted by MainStage 3 and then send audio from that to our Steinberg MR816 firewire sound card. However, I can not get a reliable audio stream from EigenD, even with ridiculously large audio buffers. From what I understand, EigenD uses the JUCE library for handling audio, so perhaps I can solve this by compiling EigenD with the latest version of JUCE? I might look into that at some point, but it really isn't that big a deal. I wanted the physically modelled EigenD cello sound, but because of the soft synth Sculpture (more on that later on) I don't really miss it. So I've removed audio out from my EigenD setup and have left it at that for the time being.
A much more serious issue is that the Mac seems to freeze for half a second once in a while for no apparent reason. What happens is that, say, a steady midi stream of notes just suddenly stop playing for a short while. Then the notes play in quick succession to "catch up" the lost time. What is worse, the firewire audio drops out completely during these hiccups, and when it gets back it is usually nasty and loud for a good five or six seconds before it starts sounding OK again. As a work-around, I have the sound card running without being connected to a computer and then connect the headphone outs on the Mac to analog inputs on the sound card. The hiccups are still there, but the headphone audio doesn't drop out. Sound quality suffers, obviously, and the latency isn't great, but it will have to do for now.
I've done all the tweaks and OS configurations for optimal audio performance I could find on reliable online resources. But I still can't get things working properly. I'm pretty sure El Capitan is the main culprit. Apparently OS X 10.11 is causing a lot of problems for musicians. By the looks of things I just happened to get a Mac at the worst possible time to do so. So hopefully a bit of patience and some new OS and/or driver updates is all that is needed to get things sorted. If not, I should probably consider downgrading to OS X 10.10 instead.
But enough about the bad stuff, there are good sides to this, too! I own Cubase, but since that seemed like overkill just for hosting VSTs, I installed MainStage 3 instead. I knew the sample based ROMpler Alchemy was bundled with MainStage and that it recently had received MPE support (and therefore would work well with my Eigenharp). But Alchemy was all but forgotten the moment I discovered another bundled MPE synth called Sculpture. Sculpture features a combination of physical modelling and classic synth elements and has turned out to be an amazing sound source for the Eigenharp. The two as a team produce some wonderfully expressive, acoustic sounds. Not necessarily emulating real instruments, but at least sounding like something that could exist in the real world. The MPE implementation seems to be slightly buggy, but still, creating patches in Sculpture and playing them from the Eigenharp is great fun and suits our kind of music.
A week ago I finally took a proper look at Aalto, as well. This is a 4-voice semi-modular virtual analog synth with a very distinct sound. The interface for Aalto is brilliantly conceived, which means creating sounds is quick and easy. What makes Aalto particularly interesting to me is that as an alternative to MPE Midi it can use OSC with a protocol for expressive note data called T3D. Since EigenD also supports T3D, the Eigenharp can control Aalto without having to go via the archaic midi standard at all. The result is a superior playing experience. Now, the placebo effect might very well play tricks on me, sure, but knowing that Aalto receives high resolution time-stamped data from the Eigenharp feels responsive and nice. Obviously, the minor MPE issues in Sculpture is not present, either.
The brilliant user interface of Madrona Labs Aalto.
3TD/OSC is not the only reason I have already taken quite a liking to Aalto. As it happens, it is very similar both in features and sound to my Pittsburgh Modular eurorack. Even if I'm new to Aalto it instantly felt familiar and I knew what kind of sounds I could expect to get from it. It IS a synth that encourages experimentation and that has some cool, less than obvious tricks up its sleeves. But I suspect I have already explored most of them on my modular, which in this case I consider a good thing. Sometimes it is nice to know a synth intimately and be able to quickly get the results one want. For uncharted sonic territory, Aalto's younger sibling Kaivo would probably be more suited. I don't own Kaivo and aren't even close to growing tired of Aalto and Sculpture yet. So Kaivo will have to wait for now. Still, it is nice to know there is even more great software in wait for my Eigenharp!
Interesting to read this right after the "outdoors" post. Sounds like you were eventually able to get a reliable setup which allows for musicking with a free mind. Not really at that stage, yet, but there's hope. The fiddly stuff can really get in the way. Sometimes, it feels like it'd be nice to have a technical person on hand to handle these things while we focus on the playing.
Interesting comment about MPE in MainStage. Have yet to find a way to make it work properly with internal instruments. It actually does work well with ROLI's Equator Player, the plugin bundled with ROLI Blocks. If you're getting the Seaboard Block, you might want to give Equator Player a try. It's a bit limited, but it does work well with the Eigenharp.
Thanks for the headsup about T3D in Madrona Labs synths. Had heard of it but didn't figure what it was. Experimented a bit with OSC in the past, including using TouchOSC to drive some things in Pure Data, Sonic Pi, or Processing. But some kind of specification for expression could help a whole lot. Tried Aalto briefly, but setting it up in T3D would probably make a difference.
Thanks again for sharing! And, again, congratulations on your EP release!

Every semester, coffee is available for commuter students between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Wednesdays in the Off-Campus Student Services office in the Student Union room 315.
"Commuter Coffee Wednesdays kinda started off the fact that we know our commuters make that extra effort to wake up, get here in the morning, have to get a parking spot, have to go through all of these things. To allow them to come in and get some free coffee is really great and we know that they really appreciate it," Bailee Raber says.
Bailee Raber is the graduate assistant for Off-Campus Student Services and a 2nd year master's student. She says although it's great to give this treat to UConn commuters, it's also a social engagement.
Raber says it's easy for commuters to just come to school and go right back home, making it a bit tough for these students to get engaged on campus. She says with Commuter Coffee Wednesdays and other events, commuters can make connections and get to know other commuters.
"We had one of these students during one of our Morning Welcomes," Raber says.
The event "Morning Welcomes" is similar to Commuter Coffee Wednesdays except Off-Campus Student Services meet the commuters half way and serve coffee at a parking lot.
"We had these two people who were parking next to each other every single day, and this particular morning, they got to say, 'Hey, how's it going? You're the red taurus. I'm this car. Where are driving from? What is your schedule like?' So, they got to know each other that way. That was exciting and they did make friends that way," Raber says.
Though there are regulars who come every Wednesday for their free cup of Joe, business and finance major Matthew Grohocki says new people often come in a bit nervous.
"Sometimes they come in, they look a little nervous, like not sure, but when you just greet them and say, 'Hey, good morning, how're you doing?' and offer them coffee, they seem to loosen up and they're like, 'Oh this is cool, it's not weird," Grohocki says.
Environmental Engineering graduate student Xing Yu attended Commuter Coffee Wednesday for the first time last week, and he says it's really nice there.
"I don't know this before, but my friend told me that they have coffee for off-campus students. So I came here for the first time, maybe next week, I'll come here again," Yu says.
Coffee is a staple every Wednesday, but each week, there are other options commuters can choose from, like tea and snacks. Guests will also stop by to spend time with commuters like UConn police, including UConn Police K9, Officer Tildy.
Off-Campus Student Services will host Commuter Appreciation Week in April where they will host several Morning Welcomes and events in collaboration with other off and on-campus resources.


Mark your calendars for April 13th at Riverside Park in Wichita for our rucking event! Stay tuned for more details regarding registration, event page, and details of the sequence of events coming in the next few weeks!! Visit their website for more information.

Q: Python tkinter-multiple frames I have started learning python.enter image description here
I was trying to make a tkinter multiple frame application.
But the output is something like this. I can't figure out why "page Three" button is showing in every frame, I tried to figure out but can't. I am a newbie. Please help me.
Thanks a lot.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

Large_Font=("Verdana",16)

class First(tk.Tk):#inherited tk.Tk
    def __init__(self, *args,**kwargs):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)

       # self.iconbitmap(default='favicon.ico')
        tk.Tk.wm_title(self,"First one!")

        container = tk.Frame(self)#always have this, frame is predef frame is edge of window
        container.pack(side="top",fill="both",expand=True)# fill is for limits you set and expand is to go beyond if needed
        container.grid_rowconfigure(0,weight=1)#0 is min value, weight specs priority
        container.grid_columnconfigure(0,weight=1)

        self.frames={}
        for F in (StartPage, PageOne, PageTwo, PageThree):

            frame = F(container,self)
            self.frames[F]=frame
            frame.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky="ew")

        self.show_frame(StartPage)

    def show_frame(self,cont):
        frame=self.frames[cont]
        frame.tkraise()

class StartPage(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)

        label=ttk.Label(self,text="Hello World",font=Large_Font)
        label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)

        button = ttk.Button(self,text="PageOne", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
        button.pack()

        button1=ttk.Button(self,text="PageTwo",command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageTwo))
        button1.pack()

        button2=ttk.Button(self,text="Page Three",command= lambda: controller.show_frame(PageThree))
        button2.pack()

class PageOne(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)
        label=tk.Label(self,text="Welcome to Page 1",font=Large_Font)
        label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)

        button = ttk.Button(self,text="To Home", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
        button.pack()

        button1 = ttk.Button(self,text="To PageTwo", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageTwo))
        button1.pack()

class PageTwo(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)
        label=tk.Label(self,text="Welcome to Page 2",font=Large_Font)
        label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)

        button = ttk.Button(self,text="To Home", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
        button.pack()

        button1 = ttk.Button(self,text="To PageOne", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
        button1.pack()

class PageThree(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)

        label=ttk.Label(self,text="Graph page",font=Large_Font)
        label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)

        button = ttk.Button(self,text="To Home", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
        button.pack()

        button1 = ttk.Button(self,text="To PageOne", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
        button1.pack()

app=First()
app.mainloop()

A: The different frames do not overlap etirely. If you give each frame a different background colour you'll be able to clearly see what is going on. For example:
class PageThree(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent, bg='thistle')

and then do this for each of your pages.
So, either make the pages the same size or use pack_forget().

A: Change:
frame.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky="ew")

To this:
frame.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky="nsew")

What you are seeing is a result of the pages being different sizes and therefor you are able to see the page containing button 3. Right now you have set your sticky for only east and west however in the north south directions your pages do not stretch to fill their parent. All you need to do to correct this is fix the stick to be in all directions.
There are some other directions you can go with this. Example you can rebuild the main frame every time you call a new page. This may be helpful when you have many pages or different kind of content to display.
You can have everything be one page and simply update the labels and buttons to the new content.
Or you can do what you have already done and simple correct the size of each window/frame being displayed so you do not see any overlap.

Sejm Wielkiego Księstwa Poznańskiego (niem. Provinzial Landtag des Grossherzogthums Posen) – zgromadzenie skupiające wszystkie stany Wielkiego Księstwa Poznańskiego, a później Prowincji Poznańskiej. Król pruski nadał Księstwu prawo zbierania się sejmu stanowego w 1823 roku. Jego skład określiło rozporządzenie wydane w 1824 roku, a zwołano go po raz pierwszy 21 października 1827 roku. Ostatni zebrał się w 1845 roku.

Kompetencje
Sejm pełnił jedynie funkcję doradczą. Miał prawo opiniować projekty aktów prawnych odnoszących się do prowincji, a także niektórych o znaczeniu dla całego kraju. Posłowie mogli także uchwalać petycje i zażalenia przedstawiane królowi pruskiemu.

Skład

Łącznie Sejm stanowiło 48 posłów z trzech stanów: 24 z nich wywodziło się ze szlachty, 16 z mieszczaństwa, a 8 było chłopami. Wszyscy musieli być chrześcijanami. Spośród 24 reprezentantów szlachty 2 (następnie tę liczbę zwiększono do 4) było wirylistami. Pozostali wybierani byli w wyborach bezpośrednich przez posiadaczy majątków ziemskich. Siedem największych miast wybierało swoich posłów w wyborach bezpośrednich, pozostałe miasteczka, a także reprezentanci chłopstwa wybierani byli w wyborach pośrednich. O prawie głosowania dwóch niższych stanów decydował cenzus majątkowy. W związku z powyższym Polacy przeważali tylko w reprezentacji stanu pierwszego (ziemiaństwa), nielicznie występowali wśród przedstawicieli miast i nie było ich w pierwszych sejmach w reprezentacji chłopskiej.

Kadencja posłów trwała 6 lat przy czym co 3 lata wymieniano połowę składu. Zgodnie z prawem Sejm zbierał się co 2 lata, jednak w praktyce było to rzadziej. Obradom przewodniczył marszałek wybierany ze stanu szlacheckiego. Obradom dwóch pierwszych sejmów, w roku 1827 i w 1830, przewodniczył książę Antoni Paweł Sułkowski.
