So you want to start using social media more and marketing your Florida brand through the various platforms? You probably see facebook ads showing from "gurus" who claim to have the secret, or telling you that the one platform they specialize in is all you need and buy their subscription to learn more, right! But don't be fooled. Truthfully, most businesses should be on at least 3 of the top 8 social media platforms regularly. The top 8 are Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Linkedin, Twitter, Snapchat, and Google+/Google My Business.
How do you go about using these social media platforms for marketing your Florida Business?
First, choose the platforms that are most important to you and start posting regularly. See How to Manage Your Social Media Posts for details on where and when to post for your type of business.
Engage 3 times a day minimum... like, comment, follow, message, and be active.
Consider running a social media marketing campaign to boost one of your posts and drive more viewers to see you.
How do you determine which social media platforms you should focus on for your Florida business?
The Pew Research Center put out this great graphic of usage on the various platforms by demographic. Stay on top of these types of surveys and data each year so you can be sure to put your time and/or money where it will be most cost effective for the audience you are trying to reach.
Here's a Breakdown of Each Social Media Platform in the order in which most businesses should be using them.
Be sure to assess your resources and time management before jumping on board with too many. Don't start running social media instead of your business! And consider outside help from an expert.
Who doesn't have a facebook account? Ok, I know that there are people who don't, but according to the Pew Research, 68% of you do. And Florida is one of the top states for number of people on Facebook. (see graph) This is a big audience if you can get in front of them.
To get the most from Facebook, post every article you write for your website or as a guest blogger on another website. Share tips and information about your company. Join groups that you have interest in and business groups related to your industry or business in general.
I know, I know, no one uses Google+. I hear it everyday. And my answer is always the same, "Google does". Setting up a profile on Google+ for your business is just another way for Google to rank you. It's easy, posts are easy, and if you have a gmail account, you are probably already logged in everyday.
To get the most from Google+, post every article from your website, post news about your business, post things happening in your local Florida city or town. Most important, in every post be sure to add the keywords for your business so that when google indexes the post, it will drive more traffic to you.
#1 for a reason. Everyone loves videos. So what does this tell you? Add video content to youtube and share on other social media and your website. For some businesses like HoopBrothers.com, who creates player highlight videos for college recruiting, YouTube is an obvious platform.
How can you get the most from Youtube?
Even for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups, YouTube is a place where you should be creating content. And it's another Google owned property that helps google rank you. Find something to record and just do it!
Yes, this is a professional networking site that leans toward professionals and their resumes, but it is a great place to promote what you are working on in your business and to find others who may need your products or services.
To get the most from Linkedin, build a great personal profile. If you are the owner, manager, or marketing professional for a company, let everyone know. Be professionally personal, meaning share lots of information about who you are as a professional in your field. Share your skills, special talents, and uniqueness. Share information about your Florida location because people look for other professionals close in proximity to them. Then link to your business page where you can share updates about your business. You'd be surprised how many people are using Linkedin to search for businesses these days.
My favorite because I have always been a photographer at heart, who isn't? And like so many others, I love to see great images and learn about a business through the visual aspects. In Florida, there were over 5.8M Instagram users in 2016 (2016 stat) and over 25 million businesses (2017). Instagram is growing fast for businesses because of this but it does have some limitations.
How to get the most from Instagram?
No one wants to see just a bunch of pictures of the eyeglasses you sell, so you have to think outside the box and build your instagram with personality. Any business can do it, even a dentist! Of course no one wants to see pictures of teeth, but smiles of all kinds sure do get a lot of likes. Build your company's personality through pictures.
Most people use twitter as a source of news; to follow a celebrity, athlete, politician or other public figure; or to follow your favorite restaurant or shopping locale to keep an eye out for great deals.
To get the most from Twitter, keep your clients updated with daily or weekly news, sales or events. If you sell a product, a flash sale can be one way to get a quick response. You can post articles or news from your website, but consider additional tweets that are quick and informative. Retweet interesting related news, and engage with others.
Who knew? Pinterest for business is quite popular. It is a great platform to showcase graphical images of what you do.
To get the most from Pinterest, you need to have some graphic abilities. Create infographs about things you know, things your business does, and tips for your clients. For example, if you provide pool service, a top 10 infograph on "how to keep your pool clean between visits" will bring in followers and views. Note that there are more women than men using Pinterest, so consider that when creating.
For all of you who are not under the age of 30, you may be thinking, What? Snapchat for business? Snapchat has become extremely popular and is replacing some other forms of media among friends who share information. And those who use snapchat love to follow businesses who engage and create content that they are interested in.
Snapchat is a great place to be if you have time and something exciting to showcase. It is a great "behind the scenes" platform that draws in followers for certain events.

Ravencry
by Ed McDonald
ON SALE: 28th June 2018
Genre: Fiction & Related Items / Fantasy
Paperback	ebook	Audiobook Downloadable
For Ryhalt Galharrow, working for Crowfoot as a Blackwing captain is about as bad as it gets – especially when his orders are garbled, or incoherent, or impossible to carry out.
The Deep Kings are hurling fire from the sky, a ghost in the light known only as the Bright Lady had begun to manifest in visions across the city, and the cult that worship her grasp for power while the city burns around them.
Galharrow may not be able to do much about the cult – or about strange orders from the Nameless – but when Crowfoot's arcane vault is breached and an object of terrible power is stolen, he's propelled into a race against time to recover it. Only to do that, he needs answers, and finding them means travelling into nightmare: to the very heart of the Misery.
RAVENCRY is the second book in the Raven's Mark series, continuing the story that began with the award winning epic fantasy BLACKWING.
Guaranteed already, this will be one of the best books I will read this year.
FANTASY BOOK REVIEW
An impressive work of fantasy, and one I think we'll be hearing more about. Highly recommended.
SF AND F REVIEWS
Vivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I really should have seen coming and didn't (wizards are bastards and here's the proof). Brilliant use of magic as technology, too, like lightbulbs and water heaters. Excellent gender representation . . . Suffice to say, I bloody loved it and I am officially an Ed McDonald fan. He deserves to go far.
Elspeth Cooper, author of THE SONGS OF THE EARTH
Ed McDonald is an author to watch out for. I don't say things like this lightly. I read a lot of fantasy, and I don't hesitate to say that this will be one of the biggest fantasy debuts of the year. McDonald has given us the first instalment of what looks to be a very interesting series.
THE BOOK BAG
A very impressive debut, with complex characters and an imaginative setting that does much to impress the reader.
SFF WORLD
I heartily recommend this.
Adrian Selby, author of Snakewood
Overall, Blackwing is a fast paced novel that is likely to become a classic within the genre. It can be read as a self-contained story, but with a clear opening for the series to continue. This is the best debut novel in the genre this year. A joy to read.
This is top quality fantasy, assured and inventive in equal measure, with the kind of pacing that feels like a surging tsunami- an unstoppable maelstrom building to impossible heights before crashing down in a fury of destruction. I have no doubt this will be one of my best reads of the year.
Ravencry is the perfect sequel and a book every fantasy author would aspire to write.
BOOK NEST
Ravencry doesn't retread old ground, and it doesn't try to be something completely different. Instead, it takes everything that was great about Blackwing and builds on it, making for an even better book... Ravencry was everything that I wanted in a sequel.
FANTASY INN
In all the years I have read fantasy books I don't think I have ever come across a series that I have loved as much this and due to this Ed McDonald has become one of my favorite fantasy authors of all time (up there with Brandon Sanderson & J.R.R Tolkien).
OBSERVANT RAVEN BOOK REVIEWS
McDonald continues to build on the strengths that made Blackwing compelling: tense and violent action, genuinely disturbing settings and creatures, and bursts of morbid humor

Will LeBron James buy an NBA team when he retires?
For all the money and fame it brings, the career of a professional sportsperson is a relatively short one, often coming to an abrupt end in their mid to late 30s. At this point, most are left searching for a new outlet for their competitive natures, as well as a way to invest their considerable fortunes.
Buying a sports team is one of the most popular options available and stars who have done this in the past include Michael Jordan who famously owns the Charlotte Hornets and Magic Johnson who is a leading shareholder in the LA Dodgers.
Now the player whose ownership future is being widely speculated over is LeBron James. At 33 he probably has a few more playing years ahead of him but his thoughts must surely be starting to turn to his eventual retirement.
One thing is for certain and that's that his estimated $233 million fortune plus lifetime sponsorship deals with the likes of Nike, Sprite and Kia rumoured to be worth over $1 billion mean that his pockets will be more than deep enough to buy a substantial share of almost any team he chooses.
It's also something he's already done in the English Premier League with a $6.5 million investment and 2% stake in the Liverpool FC soccer team. With the club riding high in the league he's already seen its value rise to around $32 million.
But basketball's his first love so it would seem more than likely that he'll set his sights on an NBA team when the time comes, but which one?
The logical answer would be the Lakers but, unfortunately, this wouldn't be allowed under the terms of the cap arrangements with the team and would be in conflict with the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. So he'll have to set his sights elsewhere.
There's a strong tradition of players buying into the teams that they used to play for so how about the one that James has represented the most in his career, Cleveland Cavaliers.
With stints from 2003 till 2010 and 2014 to 2018 he's spent no less than 14 years playing with them and his heart definitely lies in his home state, Ohio.
But one thing to consider is that when he left the Cavaliers for the Lakers earlier this year one of the reasons cited was his poor relationship with the current owner, Dan Gilbert. Whether he'll want to business with Gilbert remains to be seen.
Then there's the possibility of the other team he's represented, Miami Heat. This would very much be an outside option compared with the Cavaliers but in basketball, as in life, nothing's absolutely out of the question.
But with a possible three or four more seasons left with the Lakers it's not a decision that James is going to have to make in the immediate future. And when he does it's more than likely that his first overtures will be made to the Cavaliers.
As to how they'll respond to this, we'll just have to wait and see.
NBA Championship Contenders at the Quarter Pole
Killer Kemba & Shamrocks Sinking
The Famous Pepsi Center Changes its Name
Everybody knew that the Denver Nuggets played at the Pepsi Center. They played here in front of crowds for 20 years. However, it is now the end of an era and the team are going to have to get used to its new name. This is all part of the Ball Corporation and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) and the Global Partnership that has been formed, calling it the Ball Arena.
The KSE is a Unique Global Partnership
This Global Partnership is the first of its kind, connecting venues across the world. In particular, this is London, Denver and Los Angeles, three places where sport is a big thing. The purpose of this agreement is to innovate and encourage sustainability in sports, as well as making the fan experience more environmentally friendly. As part of this agreement the Denver Nuggets, as well as the Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Mammoth are going to play under its new name. This time it is called the Ball Arena.
Interesting to note that Pepsi will still be the official beverage sponsor at the stadium. One of the biggest deals is that they want to change aluminum beverage packaging and increase recycling. They also want to help the local community and make sure that live sport can be responsible when it comes to the environment. Indeed, previous studies have found that sports teams were generating 35,000 metric tons of CO2 every year thanks to the waste created by the fans. Thus, this new approach by the Ball Arena may persuade other sports teams and arenas to follow suit.
About the Ball Arena
The facilities at the Ball Arena remain unchanged; it is still a fantastic multipurpose stadium that is located in Denver, Colorado. The NBA 2020-21 season looks like it is going to be returning in December 2020 and this is when the Denver Nuggets and their fans should return to the Ball Arena.
Therefore, there are still going to be 19,099 seats available for basketball games, as well as 18,007 seats for hockey. For a game you will not forget, there are 89 luxury suites available over two levels and 1,900 club seats. There is Wi-Fi available for all fans, which allows you to browse the web at any time or check out online gambling promos for example during games. There is also a JBL Vertec sound system for the ultimate game experience. There is even a projector system that allows a 4K resolution screen during events. After every five basketball games, the net is replaced. There are 233 pieces that make up the basketball floor. When a game is on, it will take over 1,000 staff members to make the day great for everyone.
Fans might not be aware that the Ball Arena has practical facilities for the team inside. This is one of the few stadiums to have this in the country. For instance, there is a full-size basketball court especially for the Denver Nuggets. The stadium is built over 45 acres of land and took 21 months to build. The Ball Arena cost $180 million and first opened in October 1999.

(a) Choice Not To Prolong Life
I do not want my life to be prolonged if
(1) I have an incurable and irreversible condition that will result in my death within a relatively short time,
(2) I become unconscious and, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, I will not regain consciousness, or
(3) the likely risks and burdens of treatment would outweigh the expected benefits, OR
(b) Choice To Prolong Life
I want my life to be prolonged as long as possible within the limits of generally accepted health care standards. this is basically the I want to keep the artificial means going? provision
Other Types of Instructions

This is planning for care you would want to get if you become unable to speak for yourself. You can talk about an advance directive with your health care professional, and he or she can help you fill out the forms, if you want to. An advance directive is an important legal document that records your wishes about medical treatment at a future time, if you're not able to make decisions about your care. You pay nothing if it's provided as part of the yearly "Wellness" visit and the doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment.
Note: Medicare may also cover this service as part of your medical treatment. When advance care planning isn't part of your yearly "Wellness" visit, the Part B deductible and coinsurance apply.

Probate Code Health Care Decisions §4600-4806
Background from Uniform Act for Statutory Form.
The optional form set forth in this section incorporates the Section 2 [Prob. Code § 4670 et seq.] requirements applicable to advance health-care directives…. An individual may complete all or any [of the first four] parts of the form. Any part of the form left blank is not to be given effect. For example, an individual may complete the instructions for health care part of the form alone. Or an individual may complete the power of attorney for health care part of the form alone. Or an individual may complete both the instructions and power of attorney for health care parts of the form. An individual may also, but need not, complete the parts of the form pertaining to donation of bodily organs and tissue and the designation of a primary physician.
Part 1, the power of attorney for health care, appears first on the form in order to ensure to the extent possible that it will come to the attention of a casual reader. This reflects the reality that the appointment of an agent is a more comprehensive approach to the making of health-care decisions than is the giving of an individual instruction, which cannot possibly anticipate all future circumstances which might arise.
Part [1.1] of the power of attorney for health care form requires only the designation of a single agent, but with opportunity given to designate a single first alternate and a single second alternate, if the individual chooses. No provision is made in the form for the designation of co-agents in order not to encourage the practice. Designation of co-agents is discouraged because of the difficulties likely to be encountered if the co-agents are not all readily available or do not agree. If co-agents are appointed, the instrument should specify that either is authorized to act if the other is not reasonably available. It should also specify a method for resolving disagreements.
Part [1.2] of the power of attorney for health care form grants the agent authority to make all health-care decisions for the individual subject to any limitations which the individual may state in the form. Reference is made to artificial nutrition and hydration and other forms of treatment to keep an individual alive in order to ensure that the individual is aware that those are forms of health care that the agent would have the authority to withdraw or withhold absent specific limitation.
Part [1.3] of the power of attorney for health care form provides that the agent's authority becomes effective upon a determination that the individual lacks capacity, but as authorized by Section 2(c) [Prob. Code § 4682] a box is provided for the individual to indicate that the authority of the agent takes effect immediately.
Part [1.4] of the power of attorney for health care form directs the agent to make health-care decisions in accordance with the power of attorney, any instructions given by the individual in Part 2 of the form, and the individual's other wishes to the extent known to the agent. To the extent the individual's wishes in the matter are not known, the agent is to make health-care decisions based on what the agent determines to be in the individual's best interest. In determining the individual's best interest, the agent is to consider the individual's personal values to the extent known to the agent. Section 2(e) [Prob. Code § 4684] imposes this standard, whether or not it is included in the form, but its inclusion in the form will bring it to the attention of the individual granting the power, to the agent, to any [conservator] or surrogate, and to the individual's health-care providers.
[Part 1.5 implements Probate Code Section 4683.]
Part [1.6] of the power of attorney for health care form nominates the agent, if available, able, and willing to act, otherwise the alternate agents in order of priority stated, as [conservators] of the person for the individual. This provision is included in the form for two reasons. First, if an appointment of a [conservator] becomes necessary the agent is the one whom the individual would most likely want to serve in that role. Second, the nomination of the agent as [conservator] will reduce the possibility that someone other than the agent will be appointed as [conservator] who could use the position to thwart the agent's authority.
Because the variety of treatment decisions to which health-care instructions may relate is virtually unlimited, Part 2 of the form does not attempt to be comprehensive, but is directed at the types of treatment for which an individual is most likely to have special wishes. Part [2.1] of the form, entitled "End-of-Life Decisions," provides two alternative choices for the expression of wishes concerning the provision, withholding, or withdrawal of treatment. Under the first choice, the individual's life is not to be prolonged if the individual has an incurable and irreversible condition that will result in death within a relatively short time, if the individual becomes unconscious and, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, will not regain consciousness, or if the likely risks and burdens of treatment would outweigh the expected benefits. Under the second choice, the individual's life is to be prolonged within the limits of generally accepted health-care standards…. Part [2.2] of the form provides space for an individual to specify any circumstance when the individual would prefer not to receive pain relief. Because the choices provided in Parts [2.1-2.2] do not cover all possible situations, Part [2.3] of the form provides space for the individual to write out his or her own instructions or to supplement the instructions given in the previous subparts of the form. Should the space be insufficient, the individual is free to add additional pages.
The health-care instructions given in Part 2 of the form are binding on the agent, any [conservator], any surrogate, and, subject to exceptions specified in Section 7(e)-(f) [Prob. Code §§ 4734-4735], on the individual's health-care providers. Pursuant to Section 7(d) [Prob. Code § 4733], a health-care provider must also comply with a reasonable interpretation of those instructions made by an authorized agent, [conservator], or surrogate.
Part 3 of the form provides the individual an opportunity to express an intention to donate bodily organs and tissues at death. The options provided are derived from a suggested form in the Comment to Section 2 of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (1987). [See Health and Safety Code § 7150 et seq.]
Part 4 of the form provides space for the individual to designate a primary physician should the individual choose to do so. Space is also provided for the designation of an alternate primary physician should the first designated physician not be available, able, or willing to act.
[Part 5.1] of the form conforms with the provisions of Section 12 [Prob. Code § 4660] by providing that a copy of the form has the same effect as the original….
The form does not require formal acceptance by an agent. Formal acceptance by an agent has been omitted not because it is an undesirable practice but because it would add another stage to executing an advance health-care directive, thereby further reducing the number of individuals who will follow through and create directives. However, practitioners who wish to adapt this form for use by their clients are strongly encouraged to add a formal acceptance. Designated agents have no duty to act until they accept the office either expressly or through their conduct. Consequently, requiring formal acceptance reduces the risk that a designated agent will decline to act when the need arises. Formal acceptance also makes it more likely that the agent will become familiar with the principal's personal values and views on health care. While the form does not require formal acceptance, the explanation to the form does encourage principals to talk to the person they have named as agent to make certain that the designated agent understands their wishes and is willing to take the responsibility.

Statutory Demands under the Coronavirus Economic Response Package Omnibus Act 2020
Allie Umoff 01/11/2020
This note considers the amendments made in the Coronavirus Economic Response Package Omnibus Act 2020 (Omnibus Act), to the statutory demands regime provided for in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act), and, in particular, the significance of that amended regime to the construction industry and future windings up in that industry.
In the Omnibus Act, two amendments were made to the statutory demand regime, to provide temporary relief for debtors, as follows:
the statutory minimum has been increased from $2,000 to $20,000; and
the statutory period has been increased from 21 days to six months.
These amendments were originally set to be in effect for six months (from 25 March 2020), subject to any further amendments or extensions as may be enacted by Parliament. On 22 September 2020, the Corporations and Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment (Extending Temporary Relief for Financially Distressed Businesses and Individuals) Regulations 2020 (Cth) (Extension Regulations) came into effect, extending the time that the amendments would be in effect, to 31 December 2020.
At no time during the operation of the Omnibus Act or the Extension Regulations has there been any clear guidance regarding the manner in which the amendments will cease to operate. Accordingly, it appears as if when the extended period expires at the end of December 2020, and assuming no further extensions are enacted, the regime will immediately return to its normal parameters (eg $2,000 statutory minimum and 21 day statutory period).
Recent, pre-pandemic, estimates put the total amount of unpaid debts in the construction industry each year at approximately $3 billion.[1] Further, as has been well-documented, delayed payments and poor payment practices are endemic in the industry. It is no great surprise, then, that statutory demands are a commonly used tool in the construction industry in particular, to assist with securing payment from recalcitrant trade debtors.
In the normal course, statutory demands can also present a significant risk to a company, as failure to comply with the demand or seek a Court order setting it aside within the statutory period of 21 days can lead to the initiation of a winding up of the company. Moreover, in respect of a company that eventually goes into external administration, the fact of statutory demands having been issued by creditors (even if the underlying debts are eventually paid or otherwise resolved) can be of significance to external administrators (including in, for example, the pursuit of unfair preferences claims).
Given that even in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic there were forecasts of industry-wide contraction in 2020 as high as approximately 6% (which now appear as if they may have been optimistic)—as a result of both the pandemic and very low oil prices—the use of statutory demands could only have been expected to increase in the near term, but for the intervention of the Omnibus Act and the later enactment of the Extension Regulations.
While the lift in the statutory minimum will be of minimal practical impact on significant construction projects, the increase in the statutory period from 21 days to six months is likely to significantly change the manner in which statutory demands are used by creditors in the first instance, with flow on effects for any external administrators.
Once a debtor has reached the current new statutory minimum of $20,000 due and payable, a statutory demand may still be served. Given the uncertainty regarding the manner in which the amendments will cease to operate (and the timing thereof), companies may elect to serve a statutory demand as soon as they become entitled to do so, to start the clock ticking on the six month period. Although as the currently scheduled end to the amended regime approaches, some companies may elect not to issue a statutory demand until that period has expired and the statutory period has reverted to 21 days. Companies opting for the latter approach may find their statutory demand becoming due and payable before another company's statutory demand that was actually issued earlier, but was subject to a six month statutory period. There is some risk in that approach as there is no guarantee that the amended regime won't be extended further, into 2021.
Furthermore, if creditor companies avoid issuing their statutory demands until expiration of the Omnibus Act amendments, debtor companies may find themselves facing a succession of statutory demands as soon as those amendments expire, which may be more difficult to manage financially and could force some companies into external administration. This is particularly so given that other factors currently impacting project timelines and company cashflow (including low prices for oil and other commodities, supply chain disruptions and personnel restrictions) are likely to continue to be disruptive forces for many more months.
Of course, the Omnibus Act amendments (and the Extension Regulations) do not affect the existence of the debt or the availability of the adjudication processes provided for in the relevant security for payment (SOP) legislation, so companies can still enforce contractual obligations and seek to recover debts through SOP processes or other legal proceedings. As the statutory demand process is a commonly used tool for parties seeking to enforce SOP determinations, this raises further queries regarding the practical extent of the protections offered by the Omnibus Act amendments to the statutory demand regime.
In respect of any companies that do go into external administration, whereas normally an external administrator may expect to see evidence of a period of several months of difficult relationships with creditors, including potentially a number of statutory demands being issued and payment plans or extended payment terms being sought, there may be less evidence in this vein if creditor companies take strategic approaches to attempting to anticipate when the Omnibus Act amendments will come to an end and timing the issuance of any statutory demands accordingly. However, there will still be other indicia of financial distress which an external administrator can marshal in connection with any unfair preferences claims (or similar) that may be under investigation, including things such as failure to comply with payment terms or making payments in round figures rather than in accordance with specific invoices. The election by a creditor company not to issue an early statutory demand, however, may also impact on matters of proof in respect of any statutory defences available to that creditor company.
[1] Senate Economics References Committee, Parliament of Australia, Insolvency in the Australian construction industry (December 2015) xvii. By way of context, ASIC's data for each financial year since that report reveals the following numbers of external administrations in the industry per year (by reference to its Series 1A statistics): 2014/2015 – 1,591; 2015/2016 – 1,647; 2016/2017 – 1,509; 2017/2018 – 1,354; 2018/2019 – 1,515; 2019/2020 – 1,447. While the statistic for 2019/2020 may seem surprising, it should be remembered that the Australian government took significant steps to assist businesses facing financial difficulty in that financial year, including the measures discussed in this note as well as others outside its scope.

I mentioned before that my husband, Brett, works for a airline so we are able to fly standby at a low cost. The trade off is that we never really know where we are going to end up. The goal for our trip in October was to make it to Rome but flights to Rome were oversold and there was no way we would make it there in one day. Brett came up with a plan to spend a day in my second favorite city so that I could show him around.
If you've been following this blog for a while you would know how much I love Paris. I visited for the first time in 2011 and again in 2015. I attempted to plan trips in 2015 and 2017 with Brett but they never quite worked out. It was a dream come true to visit Paris with Brett! When times get tough I want to be able to remember this day in Paris with Brett. How happy we were, how beautiful the Eiffel Tower is in fall, and how much fun we had together even though I was dragging Brett around Paris on barely any sleep.
We started our day by changing our clothes in the airport bathrooms (#TeamNoSleep) and then booked an Uber to take us straight to the hotel to drop off our bags. We decided to splurge on a hotel which we never do and stay right by the Eiffel Tower since we were only staying for one night and wanted to make the most of our time in Paris.
After dropping our bags off at the hotel we headed straight to the Eiffel Tower. There's just something about Paris that's magical to me and I was very excited to share the magic with Brett. There was construction around the tower so we were unable to go underneath it which was really sad. We also decided to not go to the top of the Eiffel Tower this trip. I had already been once and Brett didn't want to spend all day in line. After taking in the views we went to a little cafe to grab breakfast. We were both exhausted and sitting for a few minutes to plan out our day was just what we needed.
In 2015 I walked along the Seine River to visit many of the places on my Paris Itinerary. This trip I decided it would be a great idea to re-trace my steps and do the same thing in order to show Brett all the highlights of Paris in a short amount of time. We would have to exclude a couple of things like Moulin Rouge and Montmartre (my favorite place in Paris) in order to make it a true walking tour. There are great bus tours of the city if you truly want to see everything in a day!
In our 24 hours in Paris we explored the grounds of the Louvre but didn't go inside, toured the Notre Dame, ate ice cream by the Eiffel Tower, and watched the Eiffel Tower night show. In my Midnight in Paris post I talk about the magical moment I saw the Eiffel Tower at night for the first time. Pure magic. Brett and I also had a nice dinner complete with Brett trying escargot for the first time. He actually really liked it!
If we would have had more time I would love to have explored the Louvre again. I could spend hours walking around the Louvre. I would have also gone to Montmartre because that's one of my absolute favorite spots in Paris.
We flew out around 11 the next morning so we took a walk around the Eiffel Tower and grabbed my favorite chocolate croissants from a cute cafe near our hotel. At the airport we bought macaroons and starting planning the next leg of our adventure in Rome.
Paris will always hold a special place in my heart and I'm so grateful that Brett and I finally got to visit together. In case you couldn't tell, I really love Paris.

Wrestling hosts Michigan State
By Danny Albers
Wrestling hosts its first home solo dual of the season when the Michigan State Spartans come to DeKalb this weekend.
The Huskies (7-5) take on the Spartans (2-3) 7 p.m. Friday. The matchup will be held in the Chick Evans Field House due to scheduling conflicts at the Convocation Center. The last time the Huskies wrestled at the field house was Feb. 8, 2002, in a 37-9 victory over SIU-Edwardsville and a 35-10 victory against Lindenwood.
The matchup itself takes on a personal role as several of the Huskies' top wrestlers are from Michigan. Going through the system a lot of wrestlers from each team were teammates or went head to head.
"A lot of these guys know each other because they're Michigan kids," said head coach Ryan Ludwig. "It's no shocker they know each other because they have seen each other plenty of times."
One of those personal matchups features rivals redshirt sophomore Gabe Morse (149) and Michigan State junior Nick Trimble (149).
The highlighted matchup of the dual comes at the 197-pound weight class as redshirt sophomore Shawn Scott faces Michigan State senior Nick McDiarmid.
"I believe in Shawn's abilities," Ludwig said. "I think when Shawn comes out and wrestles hard and comes out aggressive he is one [of] the best kids in the country. But, Nick is a very tough wrestler, as well.
Another matchup that should draw some attention pits senior Derek Elmore (125) against Spartans redshirt freshman Mitch Rogaliner, who is one of Michigan State's highest-ranked recruits.
"It's going to be a very interesting matchup," Ludwig said. "Depending on where we start the dual that can be the first bout of the night. I expect a lot of fireworks out of that match. They're both capable of big moves and putting each other on their backs."
The Spartans' lone ranked wrestler is Javier Gasca, who is ranked No. 12 in the InterMat poll at 133 pounds. The redshirt freshman will be a match-time decision, but if he does go he'll take on freshman Danny Carlson.
"Again, this is why we schedule like we do, to get these premier wrestling matchups, and to have it at home for the local wrestling community is great," Ludwig said.

← The First "Free Pass" of Campaign 2005 – Bernie Parks!
Plank THIS In Your Political Platform! →
"The People Who Know Best" Are At It Again – Stop them Now!
Once again, the People Who Know Best are concocting yet another foolish ballot initiative in California. This group in many ways is worse than the Usual Bunch of Crazies or the Well Meaning Underfunded Liberals (or Conservatives, pick one) who are the normal pushers of ill-thought out ideas that might become a (bad) law.
That's because the People Who Know Best usually get a free pass from the news media to push whatever genius idea they come up with – which is unfortunate since usually the brilliant ideas are worse than what the Usual Bunch of Crazies push at election time.
The measure in question is an attempt to radically alter California's primary election system. A group of People Who Know Best What's Right For You, including former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and State Controller Steve "Boy Wonder" Westly, have come up with the latest solution in search of a problem.
In this case, self-styled "reformers" have decided that you, the California voter, aren't voting for the right people these days, so in order to make sure you are saved from yourself, they want to eliminate party primaries and replace them with a "Top Two" system. Instead of having one candidate from each party compete in their own primary, then go head to head in the general, we'll have just the two top voter getters regardless of party affiliation to the general election.
The promise is that we'll have more "moderate" candidates, who might otherwise not get elected, into the state Assembly, Senate, and other offices, and these like-thinking "moderates" will bring forth a new era of decency and goodwill to office. And I believe there's a provision somewhere in there about free ice cream for good voters who vote the way they "should," but I can't verify that at press time.
It all sounds wonderful – until you take a few moments to think about how patently condescending this type of "reform" really is, and also take note of the abysmal record of self-styled "moderates" and their clumsy political shenanigans that make a race for fourth-grade class president look sophisticated by comparison.
Then you realize that this has nothing to do with real "reform" – it's about rigging the system so that real debate is squelched, and we don't address the real reasons we have problems in California – we instead monkey around with the mechanics of elections to get results we can't get in a fair fight. This kind of tinkering has been tried before, most recently in San Francisco by Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who spent literally years re-writing election laws to benefit his eventual run for Mayor – and we all know how successful that was.
As I've stated before people should be offended on general principal that somehow the People Who Know Best would presume to decide what kinds of people should and should not serve in office. It's at best a Stalinist/Statist view that the government should be in the business of running "fixed" elections (instead of "fair" elections) which ensure that nothing "bad" happens. The loaded terminology in a debate like this alone should tick off any sane or rational voter.
The idea that people in say, Orange County, who might have decided to send a more conservative member to the state Senate or Assembly are somehow the "problem," and that their choice should be rigged out of existence for the sake of "moderates" (whatever the hell that is!) is patently wrong. Period. Why does everyone have to vote for someone the "moderates" put their stamp of approval on?
If people in a certain area really believe in such a candidate's platform and elect them in a fair election, that person should serve and the people's views represented. If said elected official does not do a good job, the people can vote for someone else. Swap out "Orange County" and "conservative" for "Bay Area" and "liberal" and the same argument applies. This is "equal opportunity" interference for good people in all jurisidictions.
A joker like Steve Westly has no business telling anyone what is "right" and "wrong" about anything – he's a pompous political hack who had to spend millions to barely even win his own election in 2002 – this despite his "moderate" background. Why, oh, why, couldn't Tom McClintock have won that race and put Westly back in some corporate boardroom where he belongs?
There is a legitimate gripe that many state Legislative districts are drawn to benefit the people who sit in the Legislature at the time they are drawn up. There are in fact many districts where one party has such a lopsided advantage, the "election" in an open seat is decided in the primary of the dominant party – not exactly an open system to be sure. However, the cure for gerrymandering is not this initiative – it's like saying the cure for, say, colon cancer is to take the flu vaccine – it's the wrong medicine for the wrong ailment.
There have been proposals to de-politicize this process but none have yet passed constitutional tests. Surely the People Who Know Best could hire some bright and talented folks to do this. It would be boring as hell, and no great headlines with grinning guys like Steve Westly touting them as the next Governor/Savior of California. Ah, well.
One other point – in all the discussion about this initiative, it's a good bet you won't read much about the abysmal record of "moderates" and their ability (or more accurately, their total inability) to organize politically in this state. I've had first-hand experience with these folks recently, and from what I've been told by colleagues in the GOP, some of their self-styled moderates end up doing the same stuff. (If I'm wrong, just tell me, since I haven't worked on any moderate GOP campaigns in a long time).
Readers will recall that I worked for a "moderate" candidate in the primary election in California's 21st Assembly District. What I say now are my opinions alone, and not his in any way shape or form – my interpretation of events should not be confused in any way shape or form as comments or opinions of a former client.
Besides, once you start reading you'll know it's me, and not a distinguished professor and businessman doing the talking. In other words, if you want to complain to someone, come to me, not him.
"Moderates" had a real chance to back a winning candidate in this race. Polls indicated that he was the frontrunner for several months. Now you'd think that someone who had many prominent endorsements, who was able to block a pre-primary endorsement at the Democratic Convention, and who had real experience leading one of the last non-dysfunctional school districts in the state would get some real hard-core, pull-out-the-stops support from these guys. He didn't.
To be sure, there were some notable exceptions, and that's duly noted, but for the most part, I have never worked with such an ineffective, and out of touch bunch of people than these folks. They never seemed to grasp basic concepts, such as campaign deadlines and timelines, which are important when you have a limited number of days to win an election.
Many of the groups and associations who will be supporting this bizarre initiative this fall (as well as many others) did nothing to help out our great candidate, despite all the work on his part to convince them otherwise, as well as the #*&@#! aforementioned polls which showed this to be a sure win.
Frankly, if the People Who Know Better want more "moderates" in office they need to stop tinkering with the elections system and go back to the basics of winning campaigns. That means supporting winners, not sitting idly by and complaining about how your side is having trouble getting folks elected. In other words, participating effectively in a democracy takes some work.
That may mean confronting some ugly truths once in a while, as I've done here, but if there's one thing I've learned is that if one keeps doing what they are doing, they keep getting what they've got. Right now, they don't "got" much.

Some families get together and enjoy blissful, tender, warm moments that they cherish forever; that is most definitely not how I would describe my family. They are loud, rowdy, busy, and a bit chaotic. It would not be a Flower family get together without a few arguments, lots of food, card games, and several hard to contain children that often get misplaced.
However, if you look carefully you will notice that in the midst of all those rough edges there emerge a few tender moments. Laughter erupting from a few people during a card game. Children squealing in delight over the discovery that sand works far better then shampoo. Seeing the "tough" teen snuggled up closely with the baby asleep after the great feast. Gentle kisses. Funny faces. Those are the moments I cherish during the holidays with my family.
This Thanksgiving my brother Richard and his wife Tricia graciously agreed to host the holiday festivities at their home in Napa. The drive was clear and pretty, and the day was simply beautiful. After gorging ourselves sinfully during the meal we lounged and socialized before saying our goodbyes. Emily and my niece have the hardest time with these departures. They get so excited about seeing each other that their time together never seems just long enough. Cheyenne dutifully helped buckle Emily into her car seat and gave her hugs and kisses before we went on our way. It was so sweet. Thanks, Richard and Trish, for being such gracious hosts. The meal was awesome!
On a final note, my wonderful parents graciously agreed to pose for a "toothless grin" picture. For as long as I can remember, my father has entertained little children with his ability to pull out his "teeth". So, I thought it would make a great picture if both of my parents posed "toothless". I had the hardest time getting the shot through my laughter. Mom and Dad, you both are such great sports!

Kygo teaming up with Tina Turner for remix of "What's Love Got to Do with It"
Gabriel Olsen/FilmMagic
Kygo is teaming up with Tina Turner for a brand-new version of her classic, "What's Love Got to Do with It."
The Norwegian DJ/producer announced the news on Monday, writing, "Can't believe I'm releasing a collab with @tinaturner this Friday!"
He adds, "'What's Love Got To Do With It' is one of my all time favorite songs, and it feels surreal to get the opportunity to work with such a legendary artist! Can't wait for you all to hear."
Kygo previously reworked a recording from another singing legend, the late Whitney Houston. Last year, he released a remix of Whitney's cover of the 1986 Steve Winwood hit, "Higher Love." He took 30-year-old archival Whitney vocals and remastered them into a brand-new track that hit number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart.
Can't believe I'm releasing a collab with @LoveTinaTurner this Friday! 'What's Love Got To Do With It' is one of my all time favorite songs, and it feels surreal to get the opportunity to work with such a legendary artist! Can't wait for you all to hear it🎶 pic.twitter.com/q4kroHm1H9

Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova has filed a formal appeal with the international Court Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in Lausanne, demanding to invalidate the decision on her two-year suspension or reduce the period of her ineligibility, the CAS press service said.
"Maria Sharapova has filed an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision issued by the Tribunal appointed by the International Tennis Federation. In her appeal to the CAS, Ms Sharapova seeks the annulment of the Tribunal's decision to sanction her with a two-year period of ineligibility further to an anti-doping rule violation. Ms Sharapova submits that the period of ineligibility should be eliminated, or in the alternative, reduced," the court said in a release.
The CAS will issue a decision no later than July 18, 2016, it said.

Ryan Mah: a Leica for black & white video
Not many people think of a Leica camera as a video tool, but Ryan Mah, co-founder of Black Rhino Creative, does. He loves the small footprint of the system and cinematic feel of the lenses.
Three Leica cameras and four lenses were used in a recent video produced by Black Rhino Creative. From the film itself to the behind the scenes and stills, all was shot with black and white in mind.
Presented last May, the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) is a return to the origins, according to Leica. It works exclusively in black and white, both for photography and video. It is, one could say, the ideal camera, alongside a normal Leica M (Typ 240) for a creative as Ryan Mah.
On the Black Rhino Creative website, Ryan Mah is revealed in a simple phrase: he is a multidisciplinary creative with a lifelong passion for storytelling. Never without a camera in his hand, he sees the world in black and white.
It is only natural, so, that Ryan Mah has a passion for Leica. In fact, Leica was his first camera, when he started photography at art school, and he keeps using them these days. And yes, although Leicas do colour too, we often associate them with black and white photography. For Ryan Mah, in fact, as he states in a recent interview published in the Leica Camera Blog, the world could be all in black & white.
A recent video created by Black Rhino Creative, a film production firm dedicated to sharing authentic, intimate and engaging stories, is an example of that passion. "Jer Thorp & The Office for Creative Research", a documentary about the work of software artist, writer and educator Jer Thorp regarding data visualization, was created with two Leica M (Typ 240) and four lenses. A 21 mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH, 35 mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH FLE, 50 mm f/1.0 Noctilux and a 75 mm f/1.4 Summilux.
A third camera, the new Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246), was used to shoot all the behind the scenes and production stills… in black and white. Nothing new, in fact, as that's how Black Rhino Creative usually works. They don't dislike colour and also use it, but they have a passion for black & white.
The Leica M Monochrom offers something Ryan Mah also appreciates: the camera has a separate release button for activating video recording in 1080p full-HD format. Switching between photo mode and video mode in the new M is simple.
During the interview Ryan Mah explains why it was decided to cover the whole story in monochrome. It's "the aesthetic we find most compelling and consistent with the films we produce. In my personal life, I shoot almost exclusively in black and white too, if I could view the world in black and white, I would!"
The short video published here, filmed with the Leica M Monochrom, extends the information available on the interview. Although there is a marketing aspect always present in these things, as Leica is a supporting partner, the video, along with the interview, offer some interesting information when it comes to the reasons why the team at Black Rhino Creative exclusively use Leica lenses – for their cinematic feel – and cameras.
Ryan Mah says that Leica cameras still have "room for improvement in the controls and usability compared to cameras dedicated to creating motion picture" and closes the interview with a note: "we're also eager to try the new Leica S2 and its 4K video capability!"

Candlewood is a private, Member owned country club in Whittier, Southern California. Our challenging, 18-hole golf course is beautifully set and designed to meander through natural terrain. With the course in good shape, walk-on tee times and a friendly atmosphere, Candlewood is a pleasure to play all year round. We are only 25 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and yet only a half hour driving distance from beach communities, inland areas, and Orange County. With only 10 minutes from the 5 or the 605 freeways, the course is easily accessible.


Remember the differences between the words.
Since fewer people (than/then) expected bought tickets, the play closed after only one week.
If you are hoping to win a war against drugs by attacking only the supply and ignoring the demand, (than/then) you will be achieving only part of your goal.
It had taken months to plan everything for our trip to New Orleans; (than/then), at the last minute, because of the strike, our flights were cancelled.
It would be safer for the group of us to explore the caves (than/then) for each of us to go in alone.
I climbed into the car;(than/then), after I strapped myself in, I realized that I had left my satchel on the hood.


What's Nice: No more keys! Sturdy and well-built.
I lose my keys all the time. I'm not sure how but it happens. Considering there are six people living in my house, if we believe a key has fallen into the wrong hands, hiring a locksmith to change the locks is a chore. But, alas, no more! We can leave the house without our keys thanks to iQBio's fingerprint-scanning door lock.
We no longer have to worry about carrying our keys on us when we go out for a morning jog. We can easily add our friends' fingers to the Guardian XL's database so we don't have to worry about keeping track of lender keys. Even my mother can come over whenever she wants—it doesn't matter if I'm not home from work yet.
But perhaps most importantly, it looks awesome and is fun to use. Who's going to break into a house with a doorknob looking this sophisticated? A crazy man, that's who. Fortunately this lock is significantly better built than our old one so it's going to take that maniac a whole lot of work to get inside. However, our TV-viewing informs us that no biometric device is fool-proof. Fortunately, the optional password option on the Guardian XL compensates by requiring users to type in a secret code before entering.
In the time it would take me to find my house key and unlock the door, I'm already inside and half-way down the hall with my biometric door lock. So if you can afford the required cash to switch out a front or back door with a biometric reader, the iQBio's Guardian XL is an excellent way to go. You'll get peace of mind and one less thing to keep in your pocket.

Q: JSHint behave differently in Webstorm and Grunt I have created a new service with Grunt using the angular-generator and then reformatted the code with WebStorm Ctrl+ALT+L as the tabs / spaces seem to be different.
Then when using Grunt and the task JShint complains I get the following errors:
app/scripts/services/poteservice.js
  line 11  col 13  Expected '}' to have an indentation at 15 instead at 13.
  line 14  col 13  Expected '}' to have an indentation at 15 instead at 13.

Another strange issue is that I found that I can enabled JSHint inside WebStorm but then I get issues like
 JSHINT: angular not defined

    and

 Use the function form of use strict

Anybody knows how to make everyone play together nicely i.e. WebStorm and Grunt etc.
I do have the WebStorm plugin for angular installed.
Can anyone help?

A: First, you should configure WebStorm to use the same JSHint file as Grunt.
Go to Project Settings -> Javascript -> Code Quality Tools -> JSHint click Enable and reference to the .jshintrc in your Project.
Second, you should add this two lines of code at the top of all your JavaScript files:
/* global angular */
'use strict';

Google Futurist Says Universal Basic Income by 2030
April 25, 2018 April 25, 2018 Brian ThornsburgLeave a Comment on Google Futurist Says Universal Basic Income by 2030
Google's Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil has been known for making bold predictions since the 1990s. His latest prediction is that the world will have a universal basic income by the 2030's. Kurzweil touts an 84% success rate on his predictions of the future.
"In the early 2030s, we'll have universal basic income in the developed world, and worldwide by the end of the 2030s," Kurzweil predicted during the 2018 TED conference. You'll be able to live very well on that. The primary concern will be meaning and purpose."
According to Techtarget.com," Universal basic income (UBI) is a model for providing all citizens of a country or other geographic area with a given sum of money, regardless of their income, resources or employment status. The purpose of the UBI is to prevent or reduce poverty and increase equality among citizens.
The means for achieving a universal basic income in the future remains unknown. Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes claims that the most efficient way of achieving it would be to taxing the wealthiest 1% and use those revenues to redistribute wealth. The concept of a UBI has gained a positive public following recently in anticipation of expected employment gaps as we move towards an automated future.
Although some fear the future of automation and the effect it will have on employment opportunities, Kurzweil claims AI technology will help the human race rather than hurt it . He also claims that if a UBI is implemented, it will give humans a chance to find meaning for their lives outside of the workforce. He also believes the implementation of social safety nets will make this transition much easier.
Some of the benefits of a UBI is the belief that it will help decrease poverty and income inequality. It is also believed that establishing a UBI will improve the overall health of a country's citizens by making medication and treatment more affordable. According to Proandcon.org, "Participants in India's UBI trial (2013-2014) said that UBIs helped improve their health by enabling them to afford medicine, improve sanitation, gain access to clean water, eat more regularly, and reduce their anxiety levels.
UBIs also face a slew of critics with some calling it a band aid fix to massive wealth inequality and not an actual fix to the overarching problem. Skeptics believe that the implementation of a UBI would redistribute the wealth in a way that takes money away from those living at or below the poverty line and sending it up the ladder.
According to Robert Greenstein, President of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, "If you take the dollars targeted on people in the bottom fifth or two-fifths of the population and convert them to universal payments to people all the way up the income scale, you're redistributing income upward. That would increase poverty and inequality rather than reduce them."

2 charged with murder for fatal rooming house fire connected to gangs, drug trade
Two men are charged with second-degree murder and arson for a rooming house fire in Winnipeg's North Point Douglas neighbourhood that killed two people, police said Friday.
Victims were not intended targets of July 2016 fire, police say

Two men have been charged with second-degree murder and arson for a rooming house fire in Winnipeg's North Point Douglas neighbourhood that killed two people, police said Friday.
Jonathon Graham Barstad, 34, and Edward Wade Beardy, 35, both of Winnipeg, are each charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of arson with disregard for life.
The fire broke out in the three-storey home on Austin Street North near Jarvis Avenue on July 7, 2016.

Police believe the fire was set to target a resident or residents who had connections with street gangs and the illegal drug trade.
Instead, the fire claimed the lives of Brenda Campbell, 51, and John McKinnon Bendon, 61. Police say the pair were not the intended victims and had no connections with gangs or the drug trade.
"They truly were victims in this matter," said Sgt. Wes Rommel in a press conference on Friday.

Campbell, who went by the name Jeanette, was later added to CBC's missing and murdered Indigenous women database. The mother of several children was remembered as kind, with a strong spirit. She was from Winnipeg but had roots in Duck Bay and Camperville, Man.
Rommel said police met with Campbell and Bendon's family on Thursday evening to tell them about the arrests.

"Of course, like any family, I think [they're] thankful that there is some degree of closure, but I think that closure brings up everything," he said.
"I know that in those discussions last night when our member notified them, they were very aware and alert to the fact of what today is, that it was the one-year anniversary [of the fire], and I think having some natural emotions with today."
Death toll could have been higher: police
Police spent the last 12 months gathering evidence on the case, Rommel said. Neither of the accused are believed to have lived at the home.
Connections with gangs and the drug trade added a layer of complexity to the investigation, he said.
"When you have those types of investigations, getting that information from people who have it becomes sometimes problematic," he said. "They may not want to come forward for fear of safety, concern how they'll be perceived in their neighbourhoods."

When fire crews arrived at the time of the fire, the blaze had already spread to every floor of the building.
There were seven people in the house and five escaped, police said Friday. Last year, it was reported that there were 15 people inside and 13 escaped.
Rommel said the death toll could have been higher.
"It easily could have turned into more. It's a matter of seconds, probably."
'There is some closure'
A year after the deadly fire, the house has been worked on and much of the exterior has been replaced. But the home located directly beside it still has melted siding.
Sel Burrows, chair of the Point Douglas Residence Committee, said he has conflicting emotions about the arrests on the anniversary of the fire.
"We were ecstatic that people have been charged and arrested for killing two people in our community," he said.
But Burrows said it also brought up emotions as he remembered the "horrible day" when the two died.
Sel Burrows says there is some closure from the arrests, but the community is still in mourning. (Kelly Malone/CBC)
People still stop in front of the house and lay flowers to remember their community members that were lost, he said.
Burrows hopes the arrests send a message to others that "fire is deadly and you can go to jail for a long time if you kill somebody in a fire."
The fatal blaze prompted a conversation about how often rooming houses are inspected.
Before the fire, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service conducted a full inspection of the property in November 2013 and it was found to be in full compliance during a follow-up visit in February 2014, a city spokesperson told CBC News last summer.

The fire paramedic service is not required to inspect rooming houses every year, but it started making an effort to do so in 2015.
In April, a new fire prevention bylaw passed which brought in new fees for inspections of illegal rooming houses to fund an increase in fire safety inspectors.

Union vs. Fire Preview: Does Curtin Need to Make Changes?
Opponents appear to have found a way suffocate the Union's counter attack. Will Curtin change it up against the draw happy Fire?
By unionoscopy@JaredEYoung Oct 2, 2014, 6:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Union vs. Fire Preview: Does Curtin Need to Make Changes?
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
The Union welcome the Chicago Fire to PPL Park for the first time this season, but don't expect the welcome to be warm. The Union are in desperate need of three points. Anything less than a win and any remaining embers of hope for a playoff run will be snuffed out. The Union find themselves in these desperate times thanks to a recent run of poor form. They've just 1 goal from the run of play in the last three MLS games and have managed two draws and a loss.
What's happened the last three games?
After averaging over one and a half goals a game since Curtin took over, the Union have suddenly struggled to score. Teams are adjusting to Curtin's bunker and counter strategy and neutralizing its effect. Prior to the last 3 games, Curtin's Union were being out-shot on average 13.0 to 11.4. While that might not seem like a good sign, the deficiency was by design, as Curtin preferred quality attempts taken off a counter attack with more space than quantity of shots. And the defense was willing to stay more compact and absorb more shots in an effort to create the space for the offense. This lead to losing the battle of shot attempts but an increase in goals scored and decrease in goals allowed compared to the Hackworth era. However, in the last three MLS matches the trend has been reversed. The Union have outshot their opponents in each of the three games, winning that battle 15.3 to 9.7 on average.
This trend indicates that opponents are protecting against the counter and conceding possession. Part of this is due to the fact that the Union have not had a lead in these last three games. But the bottom line is that the Union are taking fewer quality shots. No statistic highlights this struggle more than looking at the trend in the number of crosses the Union are attempting per game.
More crosses equals fewer goals for the Union
If teams had their way, they would break a defense down in the middle of the field, where it's easier to connect passers to shooters. Crosses are more of a Hail Mary in that a longer pass must connect with an oncoming offensive player at exactly the right time to score a goal. When thoase goals happen they are things of beauty, but the reality is they are not the most efficient way to score.
Here is a chart of the Union's crosses per game this season compared to their goals scored in those games.
The Union's offensive efficiency is strongly correlated with the number of crossing passes they attempt per game. Teams that pack the middle and force the Union out wide are finding success.
This tactic of packing the middle by the opposition also reveals itself when looking at the ratio of blocked shots to shots taken. The higher percentage of blocked shots the more defenders are back and between the shooter and the goal.
During the last three games in which the Union have struggled offensively, the percentage of shots that are blocked are back to where they were under Hackworth. When Curtin took over the counter attacking gave the shooters more space in which to shoot as evidenced in the first 11 games.
The challenge for Curtin and the Union will be to penetrate the Fire defense from the top of the 18 yard box and create chances more directly.
What do the Fire bring to the table?
The Fire have had a very inconsistent season, which has been unraveling of late. In their last 19 games, the Fire have won just three times. They managed to score more than one goal in just three of those games, but weren't able to win any of them. The Fire are kings of the draw boasting a league high 16 such knots, and 10 of their last 19. The Union are no strangers to drawing the Fire, having drawn both game this year at Toyota Park.
Offensively, they do have what it takes to cause fits for the Union defense. Quincy Amarikwa and MVP Mike Magee have combined for 15 goals this season, not a number they had hoped for, but a number that commands enough respect by Valdes' backline. With Mike Magee out for the rest of the season the Fire have a gap to fill at forward. In the last match Robert Earnshaw was the replacement but Chicago has also attempted a lone striker set up with 5 midfielders.
The Fire have the second lowest possession level in the league and certainly have the mindset to attempt the blueprint left by the Union's last 3 opponents. They had a stretch of 9 games earlier in the season where they allowed more than one goal just once, so their defense does have what it takes to shut down opposing offenses. Expect the Fire to limit Union counter attacks by playing it very safe defensively, and then look to get the ball to their very capable forward pair.
How will the game play out?
Based on Curtin's midweek press conference, don't expect many adjustments. Curtin said of the last few games, "There's been a couple of opportunities we've had in the attack; we're getting crosses, we're getting chances and for whatever reason it's just not going in right now. We will have to tinker and shake some things up and maybe give a different look, but at the same time, it's not something we're really harping on." Definitely doesn't sound like someone who feels the team's approach is no longer working.
The reality is so much depends upon the Frenchman's ankle. Le Toux has been the offensive spark during the Union's resurgence. Curtin described Le Toux's status as "day-to-day," but that seemed optimistic. If Le Toux can't go, Curtin offered up obvious options like a direct replacement with Cruz or using Fred centrally, with Maidana moving out wide.
Expect Curtin to make the safe choice and go with Cruz and leave Fred as a bench option. Also expect Curtin to recommit to the counter approach that has gotten him to this point.
The Union's will will find a way against a Chicago team that is playing for next year. Union win 2-1 setting up an enormous matchup against the Columbus Crew.
