Builder adds home offices to its existing floor plans
By Mike Wheatley | August 10, 2020
TwitterFacebookLinkedIn1Buffer1PinterestCopyReddit
The home office is increasingly gaining prominence in new builds as more people work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Around 40% of Americans are now working remotely, up from just 5% before the pandemic, and now builders are responding by catering to their needs.
One example of the trend comes from KB Home, which has announced a series of semi-customizable home office packages for buyers that fit their personal needs.
"At first, people saw the need to work from home as likely to be temporary, but now it's clearly not a temporary shift," said Jeff Mezger, chairman, president, and CEO of KB Home. "As many people adjust to working from home permanently, they desire a dedicated, personalized room for their office, and that's what we have designed into our floor plans."
KB Home's office package includes features such as built-in cabinets and workstations, ultra-high-speed USB outlets, an upgraded electrical packages, charging outlets, additional data connection ports, custom lighting, soundproofing and extra windows. Buyers can even choose to have a beverage center in their office if they so desire, as well as an attached bathroom.
KB Home said its office package is being rolled out nationwide, for an additional $2,000 to $3,000 on all of its new homes. The company's base price for a home is $400,000.
Brad Hunter, who consults on real estate trends for Hunter Housing Economics, wrote in Forbes that builders are reworking their existing floor plans to give buyers the option of having a customized office space. The overall square footage of the homes remains the same, but details such as an interior wall can be tweaked or other flex space can be repurposed to create an office space.
"I expect to see homebuilders as a group start to embrace this cultural shift and do what they can to make life more efficient and more comfortable for people who plan to continue working from home," Hunter wrote.
Indeed, home offices are likely to remain a key demand for some buyers, as the work from home trend looks set to stay, at least in some industries. Companies including Facebook and Twitter have said their employees can work from home permanently, and others, such as Google, have given workers until at least July 2021 to work at home.

Q: Using vb.net and c#.net silverlight applications in one solution
"rtls2.web" provides data for the silverlight project: "rtls2"
"web" provides data for the silverlight project: "silverlight
Do both web servers run at the runtime simultaneously? if not, is it possible?
Functionality of both c# and vb projects are necessary. If I can't run two web servers and use them like a one single project, I'll rewrite the code in one, converting to the other programming lanugage.
Can I just start using a vb.net silverlight project and then open a form which is in the c# project on runtime?

A: Both C# and VB compile to IL, which is run by the .net framework.
So no, it doesn't matter, an IIS server can run both.
When you register a site you do not specify if it is a C# website or a VB website.

With Naito transformed, Better Block launches its biggest summer yet
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on May 3rd, 2016 at 2:09 pm
You should start getting used to streets that look like this.
Is there a more Portland story than a group of "tactical urbanists" who go from putting up chairs and tables in parking spaces to partnering with the City of Portland on several major projects in less than three years? That's the story of Better Block PDX, the all-volunteer group of aspiring engineers, transportation activists and urban planners who today kicked off the what they're calling "the largest temporary street transformation in America."
And that's just one-third of their summer workload.
"The design is temporary, but the concept is permanent."
— Gwen Shaw, Better Block PDX
After a very successful run last year the "Better Naito" project has returned. Working hand-in-hand with the Portland Bureau of Transportation and with a full endorsement from Commissioner Steve Novick's office, Better Block has coned off the two eastern-most lanes of northbound Naito Parkway to create a temporary sidewalk and two-way bikeway. The new configuration will run through the end of July and it stretches nearly a mile from the Hawthorne Bridge to NW Davis. To help with ambience, the City announced today that this stretch of Naito now also has a 20 mph speed limit.
Lower speeds and more space to walk and bike makes a lot of sense for the organizations who put on large festivals inside Waterfront Park. 15,000 people per day attend the festivals during peak season. Rich Jarvis with the Rose Festival showed his support for the project at this morning's press conference: "Just like nature abhors a vacuum, festivals abhor empty spaces," he said. The same could be said for vibrant cities.
Not only is Better Naito building on momentum from last year but the concept got an unexpected boost when Portland Mayor Charlie Hales announced his budget yesterday. Making good on promises he's made for two years now, Hales wants to spend $1.46 million for the "Naito Parkway Improvement Project." Details still need to be ironed out but it's generally accepted that the project will make Better Naito permanent. The funding is far from assured, but at least Mayor Hales has put a name and a dollar amount on the table.
Better Block gave PBOT Commissioner Steve Novick this sign because he's been such an ardent supporter of these projects.
"Portland in the Streets" is a new initiative from PBOT. And look how the banner art imitates life…
Portland in the streets indeed.
Gwen Shaw worked on Better Naito last year as a Portland State University urban planning student. Now she works at Lancaster Engineering and remains a volunteer. In her speech she noted how projects like Better Naito bring new voices into the planning conversation and have a lasting impact on policy. "The design is temporary," she said, "but the concept is permanent."
Even though their work on Better Naito helped create the political space for Hales' proposal, Novick's staff and leaders of Better Block are keeping their distance for now. When I asked Better Block's Ryan Hashagen about how Hales' budget announcement impacts Better Naito he said only that, "Better Block's role is to start a conversation about the best use of our public space." And Commissioner Novick's Chief of Staff Chris Warner said, "We just found out about his proposal on Friday. I think there's still a lot of figuring out left to do."
And there's still a lot of work for Better Block to do. With two other projects this summer they don't have time to play politics. Next Monday they'll launch "Better Broadway" — a one-week demonstration of a fully-protected bikeway and new crossing treatments on inner northeast Broadway. Then in late June they'll switch to Better Burnside to show how the bridge will work with a dedicated bikeway and bus lane. (Find out how you can help make these events happen at their website.)
It's a very big bite from the apple for an all-volunteer organization with much bigger ideas than budgets — but that's often how great things happen in Portland.

With the amount of development going in on Burnside, and the amount of time the buses spend in traffic waiting to get through the area, a better Burnside bridge will be helpful, but a more permanent solution is needed, with bus lanes from at least West Broadway to East 12th at the minimum.
I wear many hats May 3, 2016 at 2:39 pm
this naito project is needed, as is the Burnside bus and protected bike lanes. no one should die from "choking on a soda".
Hello, Kitty May 3, 2016 at 4:46 pm
All we need is a wall that physically separates vehicle traffic from bike traffic. Vote for Trump, and make the drivers pay for it!
kittens May 3, 2016 at 4:29 pm
I was down there this weekend on a beautiful warm day and saw no one using the Naito lane. Interesting though not surprising, When given the choice people would rather not ride adjacent to heavy traffic.
lahar May 3, 2016 at 4:30 pm
Or ride next to the water, it is prettier.
True, i commute on the waterfront every day, at least twice a day. But with the festivals and fences going up, space is now about to be far more constrained. I'll probably be switching over to Naito for the majority of the summer.
ThomasPaine May 4, 2016 at 10:16 am
What time were you down there this weekend? The lane wasn't set up until 7pm.
Mike Sanders May 3, 2016 at 4:31 pm
The Cinco de Mayo fiesta opens on Thursday (5 May) and runs thru Sunday (8 May – Mother's Day). They are expecting big crowds there this weekend if the weather holds, especially Friday and Sunday. Friday is a Free Admission day this year. Those Better Naito lanes will get a real workout! And I like the idea of a 20 MPH speed limit along that section of the street. That should be the policy all year long!
Adam H. May 3, 2016 at 4:38 pm
Is the 20 MPH speed new? Judging by the orange flags, it appears to be. How did they get permission from ODOT to lower the speed from 30?
John Liu May 3, 2016 at 7:06 pm
Maybe temporary reductions don't need permission. I'm curious.
paikiala May 4, 2016 at 11:04 am
Temporary 'construction zone lane reduction speed limits' don't require permission.
Eric Leifsdad May 4, 2016 at 3:51 pm
MOAR CONSTRUCTIONS ZONES!!!!!
dan May 3, 2016 at 7:23 pm
That photo looks horrible. There's nowhere for northbound bicycle traffic to go. I really hope there is some reasonable separation between pedestrians and the two directions of bicycle traffic, otherwise this is no better than the waterfront — actually worse because there's less width to share.
gutterbunnybikes May 3, 2016 at 9:02 pm
Not ambitious enough, Natio should just be shut down from the Hilton Driveway to the Steel bridge.
The street should be left as or upgraded (think Pioneer Square) for use as a festival space and the lawns left as grass year long, perhaps a few playgrounds and a skate park, bicycle skills course etc. Once removed the real estate under the bridge ramps could be built into amphitheaters and stages, again for the festivals and other events.
So few of the business rely on Natio for either access or parking. It could be a world class destination urban recreation,festivals, and cocerts, but instead, it's a road that for decades I've wondered why it's even there. Galleries, cafe's, and restaurants located on the west side of the street would thrive in such an environment, as would office spaces – what tech company,well funded start up, or corporate HQ wouldn't love to set up next to it?
oops Marriott, not Hilton.
Now we're talking!
dan May 4, 2016 at 12:31 am
yeah, I would support that. If we really need the capacity of Naito (which is a possibility), let's bury it. That would be amazing.
Adam H. May 4, 2016 at 11:06 am
No thanks. As we've seen with Boston's Big Dig and Seattle's Big Bertha, burying a highway is a terrible idea.
Hello, Kitty May 4, 2016 at 11:24 am
The Big Dig was certainly painful, but most Bostonians that I've talked to think the result was a big improvement. I don't think many would characterize it as a "terrible idea".
The Big Dig went way over budget and time. Ditto for The Alaska Way replacement, which is still ongoing. Instead of burying highways, we should just be removing them outright.
I think "way over budget" might be an understatement. In Boston's case, I don't think removing the Artery was a viable option.
Not a bad idea, but might require double to 3x the budget. then there would be the dead end streets.
Maybe a 3 lane road diet with the east remainder annexed into the park, but then there are the bridge piers.
PDXFixed May 3, 2016 at 10:56 pm
I was disappointed this morning when I checked out Naito and found multiple large trucks parked in the Northbound and pedestrian "lanes" and a truck driver walking in the Southbound. When trucks park in these lanes and block them, it's very dangerous for Southbound bike traffic. Heading Northbound, you can weave through the cones and take the vehicle lane, but there's no chance for that when you would be heading into oncoming traffic. The only option would be to back-track until you can cross Naito and continue on the West side.
Mike Sanders May 4, 2016 at 7:46 am
Those trucks parked in the Better Naito lanes were likely part of the setup crew for Cinco de Mayo. Expect to see them there on Monday morning when they take the tents down.
This is a phase 2 issue to be figured out – where event trucks load and unload, as well as Saturday Market access.
Mike Sanders May 4, 2016 at 12:24 am
Those "Speed 20 is Plenty" speed limit signs could be handy on Naito this weekend!
Adam H. May 4, 2016 at 9:31 am
I just rode it this morning. There was a large truck blocking the entire lane at Oak during the time PBOT says the lane must be clear (7am-9am). This was at 8:15 am. There was no way around the truck without merging into motor traffic.
PBOT gave people 20 hours during the day for unloading – unacceptable in of itself – and people can't even adhere to that very generous loading window. I am very concerned that without enforcement, Better Naito will not work. This also does not give me much confidence that the permanent solution will work any better. Hopefully more thought will go into that.
Better Naito is a terrific idea, but we need to work harder on the execution.
PDXFixed May 4, 2016 at 9:51 am
I didn't realize that PBOT was allowing blocking a vital traffic corridor during certain hours, what the heck are they doing that for???!?
PBOT is allowing loading at all times other than morning and evening rush hours (2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening).
https://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/575074
Because the new use is new and the closure of the lane for truck loading and unloading at events is what inspired the new use.
pdx2wheeler May 4, 2016 at 9:55 am
The truck was still there at about 9:00 am, if we're talking about the same one. I also encountered a non-yielding Ford pickup truck driving down the lane and was given about 1-2 feet between the truck and oncoming traffic when we passed.
Kimberlee May 4, 2016 at 9:57 am
Today, I had to navigate past a semi parked, and two vans driving down the bike/ped lane this morning. Yesterday, I was nearly hit by a car making a turn into the bike/ped lane in order to park under the Morrison Bridge!
That's a parking lot for events and Saturday Market, similar to the private one at the south end, so another thing to figure out in the final design.
It would be nice to add some curb tight sidewalk along the park frontage (in the existing right of way), but guess which bureau opposes that?
I agree. Converting just the single travel lane into a two-way cycleway would be tight. It would be nice to add in the existing bike lane width to the total width, then add the sidewalk to the east of the curb.
If Fritz and Parks are going to oppose the sidewalk, then it might be better to build no sidewalk and concede that people might walk in the cycleway during festivals. They'll probably do that anyway, even if there is a small sidewalk. It's certainly better than sharing space with trucks…

Wine Country Redux
The plot of Wine Country is non-specific: look at the poster and you pretty much have it down. It's a classic of the SNL Poehler-Fay-Rudolph-Dratch school of femcentric comedy. Not that I have any problem with that: Leslie Knope is my spirit animal, and I'll eat anything this particular Hollywood clique choose to serve me for breakfast, with extra waffles and syrup on the side.
My fellow columnist, Peter Pharos, wrote a somewhat incendiary piece on the film a few weeks ago. Our tastes in comedy clearly differ, however I don't want this article to be viewed as a response to his. The only line I'll mention and counter is this: "Wine Country has no interest in fermented grape juice whatsoever, its name and trailer being the greatest clickbait ever played on the wine trade."
Wine Country is by no means perfect: it's schmaltzy and slapstick with a leaky plot and some frankly bizarre addendums (see Jason Schwartzman's turn as a 21st century Greek muse). But I believe that the trade will disregard this new chapter in the 'wine on film' category at their peril. For starters, how can you ignore that the wine country these women experience is far more representative of the everyday American experience of wine. As in – it's just another drink. To my mind, the film could just as easily have taken place in Tulum; fired by guacamole and frozen margs. Or in coconut-cocktail soaked Hawaii – imagine the gag opportunities surrounding a kālua. It turns out it is actually based on a true life amalgam of two trips, one to Napa and the other to Palm Springs.
The fact that the film took place in Napa – wine country – tells us an awful lot about where wine sits in popular imagination and perceived class structure in the US specifically, and worldwide generally. Choosing wine from the drinks menu marks you as a certain kind of person, with a certain lifestyle – or certain lifestyle aspirations. Because these women are affluent: not only in the obvious way that Catherine is, a successful businesswoman considering franchising with a national TV show, but in the flashed snippets of their home lives, lived in Nancy Myers-esque comfort, supplemented by the rustic luxury of their holiday home in Napa.
The not-so-subtle subtext is that these women have come a long way from the Chicago pizza joint where they all met as student waitresses. They have lived the American dream, and the key markers of their success include the foods they eat, the holidays they take and – most strikingly – what they choose to drink.
The film in set in the US, so let's examine how alcohol has such strong class associations in the US for a moment – especially as, in America, the historical class assumptions made about various types of alcohol are even starker than here in the UK. Though softened by our import and holidaying proximity to the vineyards of Europe, in the UK wine still suffers from a perceived inherent snobbery which, sadly, too few wine drinkers work to abet.
It took a while for the US to get their now booming wine industry off the ground. Irrespective of the import of European cuttings alongside the European working class, it could – or should – have been that wine, as in winemaking Europe, was seen as Everyman's drink. While winemaking struggled to get off the ground, the Average Joe was enjoying the bounties of America's garden crops: apples and grain, in beer, cider, bourbon and whiskey. There were upticks in interest in wine as people began to figure out how to grow it but, in short, the circumstances meant that any serious quantity of wine had to be imported. Which meant money. Which meant only rich people could afford it. Cycle through 300 years of intensifying social inequality, the Prohibition (which beer and whiskey production recovered from far more readily), and it's not hard to see why most Americans think of wine as 'other'.
It's definitely still the prevailing view, as highlighted in another classic from The Shur Book of Comedy: Brooklyn 99 S1E16. In 'The Party', the team are invited to Captain Holt's birthday party by his husband. A cultured, upper crust academic, Kevin is the archetype of the Wine Drinker. When every single detective presents a bottle of 'wine drink' purchased at the local convenience store his is as naturally disdainful as they are humiliated and confused by his reaction.
It's much the same story in our own backyard, where cost, availability and consequent social assumptions are still being made about wine. The ongoing – exhausting – debate about how to communicate about wine to lay consumers is symptomatic of this. So many people still think that trying to describe the way a wine tastes, smells and makes you feel is an exercise in pretension. It's easy for the trade to shake our heads and wring our hands at Joe Public's shortsightedness. But the truth remains – unfortunately, a lot of wine lovers still act like stuck-up pedants.
And – man – if this film doesn't highlight some humdingers. Enotourism's vast financial and educative potential is definitely still hampered by the sorts of twatfests we see as the team cruise through wine tastings. So, in the interests of encouraging fellow trade bods to allow consumers to lead tastings and visits instead of blindly sticking to a script, these snippets would be my required watching (please note, you'll need a Netflix account to watch the first two clips):
"Jeez, people really like to talk about wine 'round here": Lisa, the passive-aggressive organic sommelier
A bravura turn from Liz Cackowski as the kind of nightmare tasting lady almost programmed to turn customers off.
"You said there's no wrong answer": Mason's guide to tasting the 'correct' way
Another classic cliché, shutting down Abby and Rebecca as they begin to actually taste the wine. I personally encounter a subtler version of this fairly regularly when I attend tastings privately, especially with friends who don't work in the trade.
"Oh, she has an interesting story": Amy Poehler's guide to wine tasting
In promo for the film on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Poehler describes her Wine country – and Amy Poehler's 'the key to sounding like you know what you're talking about is to bullshit' shows that these perceptions are alive and well.
I've read a number of articles about this film and the things that strike me about reviews from the trade are that they focus on all the things the film doesn't tell you. But that's beside the point. The film may ring with cliche for wine professionals, but it rings with truth for anyone who's ever been told that what they taste in the glass is wrong.
Film critics see masses of films so they're always interested in ones which are slightly different. They wouldn't like something like wine country because it seems clichéd, tired and they've seen something like it loads of times before. But the same is true of wine. Most people aren't interested in differentiators based on ageing in weirdly sized barrels, or making unusual blends. Most people want the Wine Country of wines: something fun, a little offbeat and which speaks to them. Now you tell me if this film isn't perfectly honed to its non-wine-expert, 35-55 female audience?

How do you post ace photos on your social media channels instantly as events are happening?
You take a photo on your phone. Depending on your skills, your phone and the lighting, this could either be brilliant or one not worth looking at, but at least you posted something to Facebook and Twitter instantly.
Feeling like an award-winning photojournalist, you swan down to the photo opp, take dozens of photos on your DSLR then head back to the office where you download, select, edit, enhance and export a handful of photos. The photos are better than your phone, but there is a considerable delay in posting them to social networks.
Option 3: Shoot, tweet, live!
If you're thinking there must be a better way, well there is a hybrid option using your DSLR and smartphone. With this option, you can let your community know what's happening right now by shooting and posting high quality images live to Twitter and other social networks. Here's how.
What you need to shoot, tweet, live!
Photography is one of the most popular hobbies in the world so finding someone in your team that loves photography should be easy. Give your photographer a good brief including what you expect of them and key shots needed. If they're not that experienced, go easy on them and don't pile on too much pressure!
For photographing events, you will probably need a DSLR.
Are iPhones any good? Yes, yes they are. I've even written a blog about why your smartphone is the best camera.
We use Nikon DSLRs in our team, but any brand is okay.
You need a way to quickly get your photos from your camera to your smartphone. Many cameras these days have wifi built-in.
The D7100 we shoot with doesn't have wifi as standard, so we bought an Eye-Fi SD memory card which has an in-built wireless network. You pop the Eye-Fi SD card into your camera like any other SD card, but once you open the Eye-Fi app on your smartphone, images transfer across to your phone, just like magic!
We use iPhones, but Eye-Fi also has an Android app. Just make sure you have enough space on your phone for all the photos!
Make sure your photographer is all set up to post to social networks during the shoot, if they're not, you can set your phone up to receive the photos and once the files have transferred from your card, you can post to social media while they continue to shoot.
Now you're all set up with the right kit, here are some tips for photographing the event.
Look for good vantage points, get photos of the participants before the event starts.
If there's a run sheet for the event, get a hold of it and know what is happening when. That will help with key images you need to take.
If it's an all day event, get there before the start and tweet your followers some photos and a link to the day's activities.
As the photographer, you can get away with doing lots of stuff you usually couldn't or wouldn't. Be safe and be respectful, but don't hesitate to go where you need to shoot great photos. Also don't hesitate to ask people to pose for photos, remember your photo permission forms!
I set the file quality to JPEG fine, if you really need RAW files too, you can always set your camera to write RAW files to a second memory card separate to the JPEG files. Remember, the bigger the files you shoot, the longer they will take to transfer to your smartphone and the more space they will take up.
Take a variety of shots from a variety of angles – get high, get low, zoom in, zoom out. Concentrate on quality, not quantity: you'll thank me for this during the next step.
It's best to have a quick look through the images on your DSLR before you transfer them to your smartphone. Delete any howlers or photos you won't use. Each photo transfers from the Eye-Fi card to your phone in as little as 1 to 2 seconds, but if you've taken hundreds and hundreds of images, it's going to take a while.
Once your transfer has finished, start picking out photos to post to social networks.
Make sure you use Twitter's new four photos in a tweet functionality, they look fantastic! If posting to Facebook, post a select number of photos in one update, don't keep posting individual photos unless they are significant in some way.
If space permits, cc in other government agencies or related organisations on your tweets.
What other tips do you have for shooting images at events? Let us know!


The funeral director cleans the remains surface with a disinfectant spray or solution by sponging it onto the remains. Next, the funeral director positions the remains. He relieves rigor mortis (the stiffening of muscle tissue due to chemical change)by flexing, bending and massaging the arms and legs. Then he or she will move the limbs to a suitable position, usually with the legs extended and arms at the sides. To begin the embalming process, which is the removal of blood, and replacing it with a formaldehyde based fluid, a small incision is usually made on the remains right side of the lower neck. It is at this position that two of the largest circulatory vessels are located. The carotid artery and the jugular vein.


Every morning,as part of my daily journaling session, I draw a single tarot card to study. In my journal, I note it as "COTD" – Card of the Day – and write down what I feel is an apt interpretation. Then I pull interpretations from three different tarot books I keep handy for comparison.
Swords in general are not warm, fuzzy cards, and fives of any suit are not that positive, either. So, the Five of Swords would be expected to be doubly unpleasant. It is generally interpreted as a card of humiliation, defeat, and, at best, poor sportsmanship. We've got the guy in the foreground having won all the swords. The guy farthest in the background has has face in his hands, presumably in tears. Yesterday, though, I took greater notice of the guy to the far left, who seems to be just walking away. He's got his cloak thrown over his shoulder, he's not slumped over in defeat or crying into his hands. He's just walking away from a person, a situation he no longer wishes to engage.
So, yes, the Five of Swords still indicates some loss, but on a more affirming note, also making the decision to cut your losses and walk away from a losing hand.
Interesting – Stand tall and proud no matter what ….
Exactly! We can't always control what happens to us, but we can always choose our responses.


We first study noninteracting electrons moving on corner-sharing tetrahedral lattices, which represent the conduction path of LiAlyTi2−yO4. A uniform box distribution type of disorder for the on-site energies is assumed. Using the Dyson-Mehta Delta-3 statistics as a criterion for localization, we have determined the critical disorder (Wc/t = 14.5 ± 0.25) and the mobility-edge trajectories.
Then we study the Anderson-Hubbard model, which includes both interactions and disorder, using a real-space self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory. We provide a partial assessment on how the Hartree-Fock theory approximates the ground states of the Anderson-Hubbard model, using small clusters which can be solved exactly. The Hartree-Fock theory works very well in reproducing the ground-state energies and local charge densities. However, it does not work as well in representing the spin-spin correlations. To find the ground state, one needs to allow maximum degree of freedom in spins. Evidence of screening of disorder by the interactions is provided.
We have applied the Hartree-Fock theory to large-scale three-dimensional simple cubic lattices. For a disorder strength of W/t = 6, weak interactions (U/t ≤ 3) enhance the density of states at the Fermi level and the low-frequency conductivity. There are no local magnetic moments, and the AC conductivity is Drude-like. With stronger interactions (U/t ≥ 4), the density of states at the Fermi level and the low-frequency conductivity are both suppressed. These are accompanied by the presence of local magnetic moments, and the conductivity becomes non-Drude-like. A metal-to-insulator transition is likely to take place at a critical Uc/t ≈ 8 – 9. We find that (i) the formation of magnetic moments is essential to the suppression of the density of states at the Fermi level, and therefore essential to the metal-insulator transition; (ii) the form of magnetic moments does not matter; and (iii) these results do not depend on the type of lattice or the type of disorder.

Parenting concerns come in all shapes and sizes—so we've compiled a list of topics for you and the important people in your life.
The fact that March is National Nutrition Month makes me think of rats.
To be more specific, I think of two particular rats that lived in my first-grade classroom.
I call my mom once or twice a week to check in. When I called her yesterday, she took a second or two longer to speak than usual. Then, when she did speak, she sounded pretty awful.

It's cold. It's gray. It's dark. This time of year, a lot of folks feel pretty blah. And not just those with depression or other mental health disorders. It can affect anyone.
Autism, more formally referred to as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), are conditions where individuals struggle with social relationships and communication. People with autism also often face challenges in handling changes to their normal routines, or attempts to expand their usually narrow range of interests.

At the Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds, we think a lot about helping kids as they're growing up with all sorts of challenges.
My kids roll their eyes when I tell them that being a sports fan is a lot like life. This is probably because I say it too much.
But just look at our rhetorical metaphors.
For football: "We went the whole nine yards." Or "I didn't have anything to lose, so I just tossed a Hail Mary.
It's not like we needed the recent supreme court hearings to know that things right now are super-tense.
Still, those hearings certainly didn't help.
By my count, this is roughly the tenth time in the last three years I've been asked to write something about how parents can keep their heads in these trying political times.

Why Altimate
Lhasa, Mt.Kailash & Lake Manasarovar -19 days
A trip to Mount Kailash will take you to one of the most challenging and demanding pilgrim treks in the world. Mt.Kailash is, probably, the most sacred mountain in the world. – 19 days.
enquiry@altimatehimalaya.com
Mount Kailash (6,700 m) is perhaps the most sacred peak in the world. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon-Pos consider it as a holy pilgrimage site. The mountain is in the far west Tibet but its fame for its breathtaking looks, enhanced by its symmetrical cone-shaped rocked covered in pure crystalline ice, is spread throughout the world.
This mountain has many legends attached to it – based on faiths. Tibetans believe that this mountain is the manifestation of Mount Meru, the spot where the founder of Bon religion – Tonpa Shenrab – is said to have descended from heaven. Hindus believe that this mountain is the abode of Lord Shiva, while Buddhists regard this mountain as the abode of Samvara. Jains consider that their prophet, Rishaba attained spiritual enlightenment at this peak. The four great rivers of Asia – the Indus, Karnali, Sutlej and Brahmaputra (Tsangpo) originate from this mountain. Hindus and Buddhists believe that a three-day trek around this peak over 5,630-meter Drolma La pass clockwise will wash away the sins of a lifetime. The Bon religion believers, however, think they have to circle Drolma La Pass in anti-clock fashion.
The Kailash pilgrimage, however, is incomplete without a bath at the sacred Lake Manasarovar located on the Tibetan plateau and bordered by Gurla Mandata peak. To reach Mt. Kailash, you have to struggle against nature's hostility but the path is fantastic, and you will see the incredible sights of grazing herds, yak caravans, glittering lake, yak skin tents, cliff-top monasteries and hardy but hospitable Tibetans. On your way, you will pass through, Barkhor markets, Jokhang Temple, Potala Palace, Norbulingka, Sera and Drepung monasteries, which will enrichen your knowledge of high altitude living.
We will be travelling in a luxurious vehicle, along with our expert guides, who are quite knowledgeable about the people and places. As a result, you will be able to explore the Tibetan arts, culture, custom, cuisine, crafts and traditions in more significant detail. As you pass through Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and other cities, you will be able to understand and marvel at the indigenous culture within these cities. Our drive will continue across the Tibetan Plateau to Manasarovar, where we will be completing a kora around Mt. Kailash. Then, we will head to Nepalese border and return to Kathmandu.
This trip is an entirely a remarkable trip, where you will get to experience great landscape, terrains and cultural heritage. You can start your journey either in Kathmandu or from Lhasa. If you start in Kathmandu, we will be giving you the comprehensive briefing before taking you to Tribhuvan International Airport, from where we will be flying to Lhasa. The flight is unlike any other as this is a trans-Himalayan flight, which passes over Mt. Everest and some other highest peaks in the world. If you join us from Lhasa, Tibetan guide will brief about the tour by your Tibetan guide.

Meet Today's Daily Designer....KapiScrap & Art!!!
I created my own company in 2000. I work in the development and testing (quality) software area. Four years ago I created KapiScrap & Art, which focuses on the digital scrapbooking industry. If memory serves, I discovered digital scrapbooking at the end of 2009.
KapiScrap & Art has designed a great collection of kits based on various themes (baking, vacation, kids, holidays…) and with different styles, ranging from vintage style kits like Baking Memories and Once Upon a Christmas to whimsical and more colorful kits.
Before starting to draw the items of a kit or to create the papers, I think of the kit as a *whole*: the style, the palette, and I list all the items I want in the kit. We are two people designing at KapiScrap, so we often share the tasks as we draw everything from scratch and some items require several hours to be designed.

The purpose of this study is to quantify in economic terms the benefits that ecosystems provide to human societies. We collect per area, per year 2010 US$ estimates of value for the regulating and cultural services provided by different ecosystems (for which land use/ land cover provides a proxy) and transfer those values to Baltimore County and Baltimore City, Maryland. By mapping land use change from 1973 to 2010, we find that ecosystem service value has decreased by about $180 million per year. We also compare the impact of using different metrics and filters to summarize primary valuation data, quantify current stocks of ecosystem services provided by different policy areas, and demonstrate how ecosystem service maps combined with other metrics of ecosystem value can be used to identify potential target areas for conservation.

Erik's research integrates experimental and computational approaches to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance. Although antibiotics have been used by microorganisms for eons, it remains unclear how these organisms have mitigated the rise of antibiotic resistance in their competitors. Erik studies the strategies that naturally antibiotic-producing bacteria have evolved to discourage the build-up of resistance, how we might employ similar tactics in the clinic, and how some pathogens have adapted to overcome antibiotics while paying a minimal price for resistance. The goal of this research is to develop new strategies for treating infectious disease, ultimately turning the tide against increasing antibiotic resistance.

Lyndol Mitchell was an admired member of the theory/composition faculty at the Eastman School of Music during the 1950s-1960s. Mitchell's promising career came to a premature end as he died from leukemia in February of 1963 at the age of 40 years. His Concerto Grosso for Three Trombones and Orchestra (in stile Barocco) was composed as part of his doctoral work at Eastman and the premiere in April of 1961 was described as "exceptionally well played" and a "… warmly appealing piece, with baroque suggestions and a touch of the modern Ernest Block, all very well worked out." (Democrat & Chronicle, April 11, 1961, p.16) The composition was again performed by the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra in March of 1963, a performance which was broadcast a couple weeks later over national/international networks. Ironically, the national broadcast aired on the Mutual Radio Network April 7, 1963, the same day Eastman's own tribute concert of Mitchell's music, which also included a performance of the work. At the Eastman tribute concert, the concerto was performed by nine trombonists from the Eastman Trombone Ensemble. The Concerto Grosso was performed only a few times before its "rediscovery" in 2011 through the efforts of Mr. Kempton and Mr. Cherry.
As stated in the title, the Concerto Grosso is composed in the baroque style, harmonically conservative with much sequential material, but containing a rhythmic vitality and playfulness communicated through lightly syncopated figures and various asymmetrical meters. The music is both tuneful and well-crafted. The first movement begins with a slow, somber section, which is followed by a lively fugue with a syncopated subject passed both among the trombone trio and between the soloists and orchestra. The movement also includes infrequent meter changes. The slow, introductory material from the opening movement reappears as the fundamental theme of the second movement, though altered slightly by a change of meter. The final movement is a quick Presto, quarter note = circa 160, with several sixteenth-note figures that require multiple-tonguing. The passages occur most often in the first trombone part, less so in the second, and even less in the bass trombone. The audio from the Oklahoma broadcast varies slightly from the published score reviewed. It includes an additional four to eight measures at the end of the third movement, which creates a less abrupt, more satisfying end to the work.
The orchestration utilizes only single players for each woodwind part along with two horns and one trumpet for the brass section (1,1,1,1; 2,1, 0, 0; +strings). The sparser texture lends itself well to a piano reduction. Mr. Kempton's reduction is realistic and achievable. While the breadth of sound and sustaining of some passages may be less than ideal, the overall effect is satisfying and makes future performances more probable. There is a minor inaccuracy at the beginning of the second movement in the reviewed reduction. The piano score indicates a common time signature for the first eight measures, however the music is correctly notated in a simple-triple meter.
Technically the trombone parts are manageable by more experienced players and the ranges are not extreme, though the tessitura of the first part requires a stronger performer. This work is a worthy, viable performance option for the orchestral trombone section or a trombone trio searching for works to perform. Thanks to Cherry Classics for publishing both the original orchestral composition along with an edition with a piano reduction.
