Eight Forty-Eight
Chicago's Viceroy Hotel prepares for an affordable makeover
A derelict hotel on Chicago's Near West Side will soon receive a major makeover. The Union Park Hotel first opened in the 1930s as a combination hotel-apartment building. Eventually, it was turned into the Viceroy Hotel, a single-room-occupancy, or SRO, hotel. The Viceroy was a haven for those seeking a cheap bed but it closed in the early 2000s and fell into disrepair. Now, thanks to a partnership between the city, a non-profit and a local church, the former SRO will be transformed into to supported, affordable housing. Reporter Micah Maidenberg followed the story for WBEZ and joined Eight Forty-Eight to discuss the emergence of the Viceroy from the ashes. Also, historian and WBEZ blogger John R. Schmidt joined the conversation to share more about the history of SROs in Chicago.

A man has been found guilty of the manslaughter of gym owner Dave Hickman after a jury cleared him of murder at Birmingham Crown Court today.
Thomas Powell, 48 from Northfield, was convicted and sentenced to six and a half years in prison following a two week trial.
Mundeep Sahota, 21 from Weoley Castle, was today found guilty of affray for his involvement He received a 15 month prison term.
On 9th July 2012 Powell and Sahota went to the Dark Arts Gym in Northfield, owned by Mr Hickman, with the intention of settling a dispute with him.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Mr Hickman had armed himself with a knuckle duster in anticipation of Mr Powell's visit, and Judge Paul Farrer QC said: "Violence erupted immediately. It matters not which one of you struck the first blow."
Powell and Hickman fought on the stairway at the rear of the gym. Both men threw punches at each other and, whilst doing so, toppled over the railings and fell approximately 10 feet to the floor.
David Hickman, who also ran Dark Arts Tattoo in Rubery, broke his neck in the fall. Whilst lying paralysed on the ground, he was kicked in the genitals by Sahota. He suffered extremely serious injuries and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
Powell also received injuries, including three broken ribs, but left the scene with Sahota in his vehicle, with Sahota driving.
He was also taken to the QE where he was treated and arrested the same night.
David Hickman received extensive treatment for his injuries however medical staff could not save him and he sadly died on 21 July.
Sergeant Harry May, from the force's Major Investigation Review Team, said: "Today my thoughts go out to David's family, who have lost a son, brother and father to this senseless killing.
"I hope they can take some comfort that justice has been done today and start to rebuild their lives."
David Hickman's family have released the following statement: "David lived his life with a passion for success and for his family.
"Every day we had with him was a gift. Nothing will ever fill the loss and emptiness we all feel from him being taken from us too soon, but now we can move on and remember how he lived and not how he was tragically taken from us.
"His love and his smile will always be in our hearts forever."

The objectives are
This publication documents the proceedings of the South Asia Regional Fulbright Alumni Workshop on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus convened in Kathmandu from 10–12 February 2015. The workshop aimed to foster an interdisciplinary and transboundary discussion of the interrelationships among water, energy, and food (WEF).
The workshop assembled 60 South Asian alumni of the Fulbright, Humphrey, and International Visitors Leadership programmes, along with 40 regional and international experts, to promote a shared understanding of water, energy, and food issues in the region. Experts in water resources, as well as those specializing in food and energy security, brought to the workshop many years of experience in their own fields and countries. Participants and speakers included government officials, academics, researchers from think tanks, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and activists. The goal of the three-day workshop was to promote a shared understanding of the complex interrelationships among water, energy, and food issues in South Asia and beyond.
Rock glaciers were used as a proxy, because they are visual indicators of permafrost, can occur near the lowermost regional occurrence of permafrost in mountains, and can be delineated based on high-resolution remote sensing imagery freely available on Google Earth. For the mapping, 4000 square samples (~ 30 km2) were randomly distributed over the HKH region. Every sample was investigated and rock glaciers were mapped by two independent researchers following precise mapping instructions. Samples with insufficient image quality were recorded but not mapped.
We use the mapping of rock glaciers in Google Earth as first-order evidence for permafrost in mountain areas with severely limited ground truth. The minimum elevation of rock glaciers varies between 3500 and 5500 m a.s.l. within the region. The Circum-Arctic Map of Permafrost and Ground Ice Conditions does not reproduce mapped conditions in the HKH region adequately, whereas the Global Permafrost Zonation Index does so with more success. Based on this study, the Permafrost Zonation Index is inferred to be a reasonable first-order prediction of permafrost in the HKH. In the central part of the region a considerable deviation exists that needs further investigations.

On Your Future
More than one-third of Americans have earned a post-secondary degree1, but few obtained one while still in their teenage years. QMC gives students the opportunity to receive an associate's degree before high school ends, earning them up to 60 college credits at no cost; a savings of approximately $40,000 and a potential of 2 years completed towards a 4-year degree.
Once a QMC student has taken and passed the Basic Skills Assessment (BSA), they are able to take classes at Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC) for credit towards both their high school diploma and an associate's degree. Classes are taken on the QVCC campus, alongside college students and according to the college schedule. Courses are graded and taught by QVCC faculty. Students are able to take any class for which they qualify and can fit into their schedule. Evening classes are offered, however, transportation to these classes are the responsibility of the student. The cost for books, tuition and supplies are covered for all QMC students.

Geetle and Pookie have really stepped up their independent reading recently. Geetle is constantly reading books out loud. The other day, BeAGoodMom, Giggles and I sat on our bed while Pookie read a couple Dr. Seuss books to us while pointing at each word. At the same time, Geetle was in her bed reading her own books out loud.
Also, recently, I was reading a bedtime book with Pookie on a night he asked to go to bed early. While reading the book I kept asking him questions like, "How many fish are there?" and "What color dress is the girl wearing?" without pointing at the pictures. He kept getting them right.
The question that he answered that impressed me the most, though, went something like, "What color car is the yellow bird driving?" He had been doing so well that I decided to push him a little bit. I completely expected him to quickly say yellow just as an echolalic response. Instead, he correctly answered blue and touched the blue car.
Just another one of those little differences that we are noticing recently that really highlight just how much he has changed over the last few months.

About 160 historical sites, including the Peking Man World Heritage Site at Zhoukoudian, were damaged in storms that lashed Beijing on Saturday. The direct economic losses reached 800 million yuan ($125 million), according to Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage.
The deluge caused several small-scale landslides at the Peking Man site and disabled its security system, according to Li Yan, senior administrator at Zhoukoudian, located in a village 50 kilometers southwest of Beijing. A museum at the site was flooded, but the major exhibits are all safe.
Dirt and mud washed by the heaviest rainfall in six decades covered part of the archaeological dig at Zhoukoudian and halted researchers' work for at least three days, according to Zhang Shuangquan, an archaeologist at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang said he was concerned most that a potential landslide caused by the downpour might destroy the whole dig site, which is on a cliff.
If the rock stratum were to collapse, it would lose its value for archaeology, because researchers learn how people lived in the past by taking account of the depth of objects and human remains embedded in the rock.
"A period of human civilization would be buried in mystery forever," said Zhang, who has been excavating the site since 2009.
Zhoukoudian's administrators covered the site with plastic sheets two years ago, but Zhang said the protection would be ineffective unless the whole mountain top were covered, because rain slowly permeates rocks, making the stratum fragile.
"The geological movement is very slow, but it might reach a breaking point at any moment, maybe tomorrow or 10 years from now," Zhang said. "I hope we can build the protection before the end of this summer."
Zhoukoudian has already contacted experts at Beijing's cultural heritage administration about drafting a protection plan, but there is no timeline for the project.
"We improved our fences and buildings in 2006, and thanks to that, we didn't have serious damage in this flood," Li said.
The security system is working again and the site is still open to the public, he said. Only a couple of sightseeing spots are closed because of safety concerns.
Every year, Zhoukoudian attracts more than 120,000 visitors and researchers from around the world, he said.
Discovered by the Swedish archaeologist Johan Gunnar Andersson in 1918, Zhoukoudian has yielded many archaeological breakthroughs, including one of the first specimens of Homo erectus, dubbed Peking Man. Several skulls were found at the site in 1920s and 1930s, but were lost in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization named it a World Heritage Site.
"Any damage to Zhoukoudian will be a loss for China and the world," Li said.
The 1,400-year-old Yunju Temple, another historical site in Beijing's hard-hit Fangshan district, was also damaged by the deluge. Floodwaters washed down its walls and uprooted trees in the temple.

As fallout from the Heartbleed bug continues to echo across the Web, people have been left with more questions than answers. Should you change all your passwords? When is it okay to change passwords? What websites are safe? How can you tell if your information was leaked?
To help clear up confusion about Heartbleed, ZixCorp's own Dave Robertson recently participated in a live chat on o.canada.com with security experts including Tyler Cohen Wood, cyber branch chief for the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Zhiqiang Lin, UT Dallas assistant professor of computer science and member of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute.
During the chat, panelists put the scope of Heartbleed in perspective and discussed how there's no denying this is one of the worst security bugs in the history of the modern Internet. Never before has there been such a widespread vulnerability with the potential to affect so many people, while not allowing people to take control of their own protection.
The conversation shifted to password protection – a top of mind topic for live chat participants.
The panelists recommended that, with so many sites affected, Internet users should change their passwords to mitigate immediate risks. Once notified by sites that the flaw is fixed, users should change their passwords again. If sites do not proactively reach out to you, contact the services you use and ask. This can include banks, credit cards or frequently used shopping sites. People can use this as a "lessons learned" opportunity to begin practicing good password habits. Users should change passwords every three to four months and ensure that they are strong passwords that alternate upper and lowercase letters and numbers.
But, what else can be done outside of changing passwords?
After changing your passwords, the best thing that can be done is monitoring your credit report and keeping an eye out for any anomalies that could signify someone gained access to your information. Also, monitor your critical financial accounts closely and look for any suspicious activity.
Remember, just because something hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean someone won't try to use your information in the future. It is very possible that criminals have collected information and are waiting to use it. While it is impossible to know for sure if your information has been exposed, taking a break from the Internet won't help you now. If your information has been exposed, there is no going back. Instead, make sure you are proactively monitoring your accounts and regularly changing passwords.
Parting advice from the panelists:

*WARNING: This post contains spoilers for Dead Space 3 and the Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC. Read at your own discretion*
Dead Space 3 Awakened is an add-on DLC that takes place after the ending of the Dead Space 3 core game. Awakened can be played in the single-player and co-op modes as well as on any difficulty or specialty campaign (Pure Survival, Classic, etc.). It's available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC and costs $10 (800 MSP).
Awakened starts off right where the core game left off, after the moon is pulled down on to the planet, Tau Volantis, in hopes of destroying the Marker signal for good. The ending of Dead Space 3 seems to insinuate that Isaac and Carver have died in the incident and Ellie leaves the system bound for Earth as the sole survivor. The beginning of Awakened shows Isaac waking up to an alarm clock in his apartment, something is not right as he heads into the bathroom only to see Carver's reflection in the mirror. Carver asks why Isaac is in his apartment and it all becomes clear. They are awake and still on Tau Volantis. Not sure if they are alive or dead, they know that regardless of what is going on they need to find a way off the planet and make that their top priority.
A quick scan around makes it obvious that the moon has already crashed into the planet, it seems that they have been stranded there, thought to be dead by Ellie and anyone else left on Tau Volantis. Isaac and Carver learn that their only way back how is the CMS Terra Nova, and it's missing it's Shockpoint drive. Faced with the task of restoring power and the Shockpoint drive to the Terra Nova, Isaac and Carver soon discover more than just technical problems aboard the ship. They find remnants of Unitologists aboard the ship that have created a new cult in hopes of following the path of the Nercromorphs. Calling themselves the Circle, they become new enemies for the duo to face – not quite human but not quite Necromophs.
The Circle isn't their only problem, Isaac slowly starts becoming insane, thinking that the Shockpoint drive needs to be destroyed or the brother moons will follow them back to Earth. Carver argues with him, trying to make him see reason, but fails. The men eventually hallucinate a fight between one another that leads into a battle with the leader of the Circle. After this encounter, Isaac comes to his senses and agrees with Carver to use the Shockpoint drive to get back to Earth. Upon arriving in Earth space Isaac attempts to make contact with the planet, only to get static in return. After a few more unsuccessful attempts, Isaac and Carver both look out the window of the ship to see that the brother moons have already arrived at Earth, as one appears directly in front of the ship the screen goes black.
The gameplay of the Awakened DLC is the same as in the core game, no new features have been added. The scenery is sadly the same as well, with the bulk of the DLC taking place on the CMS Terra Nova which was previously explored in the core game's campaign. There are new enemies, the Circle, as well as a new boss-like enemy. These new enemies are a bit different than the Necromorphs fought throughout the series, but still attack in the same way making them not feel so new. Basically, this DLC is an expansion on the ending of the core game that sets the scene for a possible Dead Space 4. It's not a necessity to purchase and play this DLC, but if you'd like a little more closure I would definitely recommend it. I would say that it is very much worth the $10 it costs, and any fan of the series (or even just Dead Space 3) will really enjoy it for the story, if for nothing else.

Prince Harry has said mental health strategies for armed forces personnel are crucial to create a "more confident, focused and, ultimately, more combat-ready military".
In a speech at the Ministry of Defence, the 33-year-old prince, who spent 10 years in the army, said that as the number of active-duty personnel had been reduced there was a premium on "every individual being fighting fit and deployable".
Announcing a joint initiative between the MoD and the Royal Foundation, created by the prince and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to tackle mental health issues, Harry said mental health strategies needed to be at the forefront of armed forces personnel training.
"Quite simply, these men and women are prized assets which need to be continually invested in. We surely have to think of them as high-performance athletes, carrying all their kit, equipment and a rifle," he said. "Crucially, fighting fitness is not just about physical fitness. It is just as much about mental fitness too."
The MoD said the move would build upon a recently launched government strategy aimed at improving mental health among military workers, civilian staff, their families and veterans.
"The military has faced the challenge of dealing with things like post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression," Harry said. There was a need to promote positive mental health management to "help prevent some of these issues before they develop".
Staying mentally and emotionally sharp could help with "getting that extra 20% or possibly 30% more of performance that can make all the difference," he said.
The goals needed to be bold and lead to a cultural change around mental health that could make personnel feel more resilient, lead to fewer medical discharges and create "a more confident, focused and, ultimately, more combat-ready military".
"What we are talking about is creating fundamentally better soldiers and staff to support them. Throughout our training we develop a mindset which will not let weakness take over. We are taught to push ourselves through pain barriers to achieve what we thought was impossible. For too long, acknowledging emotion or challenging thoughts was seen as counterproductive to the fundamental characteristics of the armed forces," he said.
"Today we are saying that taking mental health seriously is what professional and dedicated servicemen and women must do to be above the rest and leading from the front."
As part of the joint initiative, the foundation will offer advice and resources to improve training, education and information-sharing for the whole of the armed forces. The initiative is expected to include annual briefings, websites and specialist support to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health among military personnel.
The defence secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, said: "By looking after our mental health we are building a more effective armed forces that helps keep this country safe. Our soldiers, sailors and airmen are the best in the world, but we will only maintain that if we are as serious about improving mental health as we are our combat skills and cutting-edge technology."
Defence minister Tobias Ellwood said they were hoping for cultural change. The former Royal Green Jacket said of his time in the armed forces: "We have to bear in mind, I was told this: "Grab a man suit and suck it up." These were the phrases that I was shouted at by a colour sergeant.
"It will be very much through the NCOs (non commissioned officers) that we hope that this will embed itself".
John White, a former Royal Marines officer who lost both legs and his right arm in an explosion in Afghanistan and is project managing the new initiative, said the idea was to catch a problem before it became "a full blown mental illness".
"That's what we're trying to create, this idea they can just speak about it the same way they do their physical fitness".

I forgot to blog yesterday! Or rather I wrote a post and then got distracted and when I went back to it it disappeared but mostly because that's what the Blogger App does on my iPad...it disappears if you don't save it. Oh well...
I read Susanna Daniel's Sea Creatures all day long yesterday. I had totally forgotten that she wrote one of my all time favorite books...Stiltsville...her writing is so lovely and her stories can make you so happy and so sad. This one had some really sad parts but it was so beautiful! Frankie...the little boy in the story...so sweet and funny. Georgia...his mom...so torn. This lovely book is a must read!
Now reading this...a really yummy British mystery by an author very new to me!
Den is out playing in the yard...kitties are napping...I have an old Harry Potter on while I sip coffee and get my bearings for today...
I am making Smitten Kitchen's lazy day pizza dough later and this will be dinner...with another chopped salad!
I just bought Smitten Kitchen's cookbook and it's delightful!
Have a lovely weekend!
Happy Reading!

"With his passion for ideas, his infectious enthusiasm, and his resolute belief that business can work differently, Tom gives an inspiring insight into what the next generation of business leaders could look like." – Prime Minister Gordon Brown
Why Simpletom?
In a world that puts a premium on advancement, ambition and entrepreneurship, I've joined a growing army of people that questions this relentless progression.
Simpletom is my journey, attempting to find a new wealth and meaning in simplicity.
It's not as easy as it sounds. I like fast cars, exotic holidays and steak. At least I think I thought I did.
With a post as often as I can manage, my aim is to give my readers humorous, honest and sometimes random coverage of my attempts to simplify.
I promise to try my best. I often fail. I often contradict myself. Sometimes I sound disgustingly earnest. Some days simplicity annoys the hell out of me.
Mostly, it is one of the greatest and most rewarding things I've done, so I'm going to keep going, if you don't mind.
About Me
At 30, after two business degrees and a decade working as an 'award-winning' entrepreneur, I found myself questioning the very roots of a momentum that had propelled me from lazy student to business 'success'. I felt a failure, in spite of my achievements. Despite being recognised as the 'Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year' and the pleasure associated with annoying my sisters, who'd renamed me 'golden balls' – I wasn't happy. So I unwound and took to the road.
This blog follows my return journey – coming to remember what is most important in life.

Innovative Way to Memorize the Quran (1)
There are questions that you have to answer before you start memorizing the Quran, so that your project is fruitful if Allah will. Everyone has his own projects in life, but the best work will be memorizing the Book of Allah Almighty.….
- Since the Quran is the word of Allah Almighty, when you memorize it , this will be the best you ever done! Memorizing the Quran will open all the doors of good for you.
- Memorizing the Quran means that you will obtain ten good deeds for each letter! If you know, for example that the number of letters in the shortest Surah in the Quran, which is Surah Al-Kawthar, is 42 letters. This Surah can be read in seconds, which means that whenever you read it, your account at Allah Almighty will increase to 420 good deeds, each one of these good deeds is much better than this World and what is in it!! Consider how many good deeds you will gain when you read the whole Quran which includes more than three hundred thousand letters!!
- The Quran includes all the sciences of this World and the Hereafter, the stories of ancestors and successors. It includes many of the scientific, cosmic, legislative and medical facts, and it includes also provisions, laws and legislation that regulate the life of a believer and make him much happier. This means that when you memorize the Quran, you memorize the largest encyclopedia.
- This Quran, which you memorize and keep today, will be your companion at the dying moment!! It will be your defender and your intercessor at the time you are abandoned by the nearest people. The Prophet (pbuh) says, "Read the Quran, it will be the intercessor of its companions on the Day of Resurrection" Will there be a best moment other than the one when meeting on the Day of Resurrection with Allah Almighty and you have memorized His words.
- When you memorize the Quran, your expressing ability will be stronger because of the classic Arabic you acquire from the Quran. You will have more ability for dealing, endurance and patience, because memorizing the Quran is not only like memorizing a poem, a story, or a song. However, when you memorize the Quran, in fact you are changing your attitude towards everything around you, and thus your behavior will be following what you have memorized
- Our Lady Aysha (May Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the ethics of the Prophet and she said, "His ethics was the Quran"!! If you would like your ethics be like the Prophet's (pbuh), you have to memorize the Quran.
- The Quran is a healing for physical and psychological diseases. If reading Al-Fatiha (The Opening) cures a patient if Allah permits, what about who memorize the whole Quran? You will get rid of devilish whispers; your body immunity will increase due to the great change you experience while you are memorizing the Quran. This is not only a theoretical speech but a real experience that is witnessed by those who memorized the Quran or parts of it.
- When you decide to memorize the Quran, you won't have extra time, boredom, nor a feeling of concern, stress and fear. The Quran will remove concerns, grief and the accumulations of the past, you will be reborned. Nonetheless, what prevent us from memorizing the Quran in our hearts? Why do many people try to memorize the Book of Allah Almighty but they cannot? The reason according what I think is a big problem that we have to overcome, what is it?
What is the biggest problem you face in the project?
- The way is practical and very easy, and does not require a Sheikh, a teacher or a reciter, but depends on self learning. I have tried it and it has success.
- Memorizing the Quran in this way does not mean only memorizing but it expands your information horizon and assists you in deducting some of the Quran wonders.
- This way does not require a specific time or system, but you can do at any time and in any how to be.

The Louvre Museum is the world's most-visited art museum and one of the largest museums in the world. It is located in the Louvre Palace, a fortress built in the 12th century. It was first transformed into a museum during the French Revolution. It currently hosts famous art pieces such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. In 1989, the main entrance was shifted to a new glass pyramid, known as the Louvre Pyramid; it quickly became an icon of the museum.

In American historical fiction "the reigning champion is Max Byrd."
Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph Ellis in the New York Times
New Book:
Max's new novel is The Sixth Conspirator. This is an historical thriller—and love story—centered around the little known American State Department secret mission to Europe in 1867, on the trail of the last of the conspirators who assassinated Abraham Lincoln (all true!). It takes the reader from Washington to Montreal to London, Rome, and finally, climactically to the dangerous, romantic streets of Paris.
"[A] sophisticated historical novel... witty... elegant storytelling...."
New Essay:
A Fascinating and Forgotten Friendship
It is entirely possible that Henry James was in love with Robert Louis Stevenson.
Great News! All of Max's earlier novels are being reprinted! They're available now in beautiful new paperbacks or in ebook form.
The three novels about American presidents are republished by Random House. Each one has a new feature at the back written by Max just for these editions. Very suitable for book clubs and discussion groups.
And Max's early detective novels and thrillers have been reissued from Turner Publishing as gorgeous new paperbacks.
Historical fictiontelling dramatic stories about real people and events from the pastmay be our oldest literary genre.
In the Western tradition, historical fiction probably begins with the Iliad. After that it is a very rich field indeed: Shakespeare wrote history plays, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote historical fiction, War and Peace is an epic historical novel.
Max Byrd's acclaimed historical novels concern both real and invented characters. The settings are authentic, the story-telling dramatic. The Associated Press says that his novel Grant, about the last years of Ulysses S. Grant, "is typical of what Byrd does so wellcombine a minimum of fictional characters with splendid research, vivid imagination, and above all, historical accuracy to portray a truthful profile of a famous American."

BEIJING — Asian stocks rose Friday after Wall Street hit a new high and a survey showed Japanese manufacturing accelerating.
KEEPING SCORE: Tokyo's Nikkei 225 rose 0.5 percent to 23,793.35 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.9 percent to 27,712.47. The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.3 percent, erasing earlier losses, to 2,737.27 while Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 advanced 0.6 percent to 6,204.40. Seoul's Kospi was up 0.2 percent at 2,327.87 and benchmarks in Taiwan and Southeast Asia rose. New Zealand declined.
WALL STREET: The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index set records as a wave of buying pushed prices higher. Technology stocks, banks and health care companies accounted for much of the rally. Energy companies declined along with crude oil prices. The S&P 500 rose 0.8 percent to 2,930.75. The Dow gained 1 percent to 26,656.98. The Nasdaq composite climbed 1 percent to 8,028.23.
ANALYST'S TAKE: "The resilience in the U.S. market is evident here and the breakout further renews the momentum," said Jinyi Pan of IG in a report. Still, "warning signs are abundant" amid U.S.-Chinese trade tensions, Pan said. "Cautiousness in the form of stop losses may be ever so important with the uncertainty in post-tariffs exchanges lingering into next week."
TRADE TENSION: The latest U.S. tariff hike on Chinese goods in a dispute over Beijing's technology policy takes effect Monday, when Washington imposes an additional 10 percent tax on $200 billion of imports. The tariffs will rise to 25 percent on Jan 1. Beijing announced it would retaliate by imposing tariffs of 5 or 10 percent on $60 billion of U.S. goods including coffee, honey and industrial chemicals.
JAPANESE MANUFACTURING: A preliminary version of Japan's monthly purchasing managers' index showed factory activity accelerated in September. The PMI rose to a three-month high of 52.9 from August's 52.5 on a 100-point scale. The measure of new export orders rose to a four-month high.
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude fell 12 cents to $70.20 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost 55 cents on Thursday to close at $70.32. Brent crude, used to price international oils, advanced 1 cent to $78.23 per barrel in London. It tumbled 70 cents the previous session to $78.22.
CURRENCY: The dollar gained to 112.70 yen from Thursday's 112.46 yen. The euro was little-changed at $1.1779.

The town of Squamish is hoping to reinvigorate its industrial base with an export terminal for liquefied natural gas.
"We have zero industrial taxation base and zero industrial jobs," says Patricia Heintzman, the acting mayor of Squamish.
"With LNG there's going to be a lot of training and different parts…and we're hoping we'll get some of that."
The plan by Pacific Energy Corp. would put the site at the old Woodfibre pulp mill, which closed for good in 2006. Their plan would see 3-4 tankers use the port each month to export LNG off to foreign markets.
However, applications to the National Energy Board have yet to be approved, and environmentalists are sounding alarms about the process that will be used to extract LNG.

The nineteenth-century women's life writing archive is a space rife with gendered intervention. 'Silence in the Archives: Censorship and Suppression in Women's Life Writing' engages with forms of archival spaces ranging between the institutional, the familial, and the imaginary. Five scholarly articles examine the preservation, construction, and censorship of nineteenth-century women's life writing using a wide range of primary sources and across disciplines including literature, history, art history, and information sciences. These articles examine evidence both incorporated within and peripheral to traditional institutional archives, suggesting that researchers' materials and methods of interpretation must be creative and interdisciplinary, and that the concept of the 'archive' must be stretched beyond its traditional limitations in order to grapple with the many dimensions and remnants of nineteenth-century women's life writing. A forum section presents new models for mediating and negotiating archival absences in nineteenth-century women's life writing through digital innovations. The forum also suggests strategies for recovering the doubly silenced voices of nineteenth-century women of colour. This issue of 19 queries women's role in society in the long nineteenth century across temporalities and contributes to understandings of how the creation and preservation of life writing interacted with women's evolving domestic, societal, and self-reflexive identities. It does so by examining extant archives and recovery projects relating to both canonical and lesser known women, including Claire Clairmont, Margaret Fuller, Eva Knatchbull-Hugessen, Christina Liddell, Mary Watts, Dora Montefiore, and Margaret Harkness.

Fire alarm and sprinkler monitoring standard updated by UL Canada
MARKHAM, Ontario - A new standard aimed to raise the bar on the monitoring of fire alarm and sprinkler systems in Canada is now going through the final Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada approval process.
Known as CAN/ULC S561, the standard has already been through myriad committees and review processes over the past few years.
The ULC Committee on Fire Alarm Equipment and Systems was scheduled to review the standard at the end of June, before it heads to the Standards Council of Canada for final approval.
Once approved, S561 is expected to be included in the next version of the National Building Code of Canada later this year or in early 2004.
Many provinces in Canada then either adopt or modify the standards included in this codebook.
"It's going to improve life safe-ty in the province because it raises the standards,†said Mark Fairley, chair of the standards and regulation committee for the Canadian Alarm and Security Association and owner of TMF Security, based here.
S561 will replace an older, temporary code known as ULC ORD 693. Unlike the temporary code, which covered the monitoring of sprinkler systems, S561 includes standards for the monitoring and installation of a fire alarm system.
"In our security group we have two standards. This one we've melded into one so it covers both ends of the system,†said Bruce Patterson, who is program manager for ULC and worked closely on the standard. "It allows both parties to know what the other one is doing and make sure they're working on that.â€Â
The new standard provides guidelines on how to build and run a fire alarm monitoring center, and includes specific guidelines for the transmission of a fire alarm signal. For example, the standard places a 30-second time limit for the transmission of a fire alarm signal from the monitoring station to the fire department, whereas before it only suggested an immedi-ate transmission.
"We are making it easier for people to understand what needs to be done and how to do it,†said David Currie, a member of CANASA's standards and regulation committee and acting chair of S561.
With S561 expected to be in place soon, members of Canada's life safety industry in Ontario can turn their attention to enact a UL of Canada certification program. The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs has already endorsed the measure which, if approved by the province fire marshal, would require companies with a fire system to display a sticker to show that their system is ULC compliant. In turn, fire monitoring companies would need to obtain ULC listing.
"It ensures that monitoring of the fire alarm system is compliant with the latest safety standards,†said Norm Cheesman, director of communications for Fire Monitoring Technolo-gies International.
Currie expects that proposed standard to be approved in 2005.

Cardiovascular System - Heart Rate Development
Heart rate (beats / minute) is a measurement that can be made from early in development (when the heart first starts) through embryonic and fetal stages into labor and birth. It is a common clinical diagnostic tool, but data can be variable between countries and institutions.
Early ultrasonographic measurement of embryonic heart rate (EHR) shows a steady increase from Stage 9-10 (75 beats/minute) to Stage 18 (130 beats/minute) and on to Stage 20, following which a gradual decrease in EHR occurs (More? Embryonic Heart Rate). This increase correlates with heart development and a low EHR is used as an indicator of developmental failure and likely abortion. Late stethoscope measurements of fetal heart rate can monitor fetal stress and identifies the characteristic "lub-dub" heart valve sounds.

America's Special Relationship to German Musical Culture
Jessica Gienow-Hecht's new study of German-American relations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries makes a strong claim for the unique status of music as a significant bearer and mediator of international relations between these two emergent, if still insecure world powers. Gienow-Hecht traces what she terms the "emotional elective affinity" (p. 8) between German arts, especially music, and the production and contestation of American national culture. She suggests that Germans and Americans chose to ally themselves with each other over the medium of German music and that the alliance formed during these years created connections between the two nations which have lasted into the present.
Through written as a history of international relations, the study eschews investigation of more formal, top-down initiatives from the state and concentrates instead on the actions of "informal ambassadors," who are defined as individuals "acting--often unwittingly--in the name or the interest of the state" and "whose actions--even though they were not directly inspired by state policy--achieved a desired political effect" (p. 4). On the German side, this initiative included touring and immigrant musicians, conductors and composers, as well as the overall cachet of German high culture, or Kultur as it is referred to by Gienow-Hecht. On the American side, this program included not only aspiring musicians studying music in Germany or musical tourists making the pilgrimage to Bayreuth, but also patrons of the arts and, according to Gienow-Hecht, the surprisingly variegated, in terms of class, race, and educational background, American audiences for serious, or "classical," music.
Central to her argument are her thoughts on music and emotion. Music provided both Germans and Americans with a prism through which to project their special relationship; yet each side entered the relationship with differing political needs and stakes vis-à-vis music. Relying on the pioneering work of Celia Applegate on the role of music within the development of German national identity, Gienow-Hecht shows how Romantic musical theory generated an equation by which German music, above all absolute music, was figured as both quintessentially German and universal.[1] Understood thusly, music could act as a means through which Germanness and German values could be exported internationally under the guise of world culture. Americans, by contrast, saw in absolute music a means of elevating their own culture to the level of the Europeans and Germans. Significantly, because of its association with emotion in American discourse, music was an especially open field in the American cultural landscape. It was an area of the arts which elite, male Americans had hitherto refrained from entering and which Germans therefore could enter unopposed and, with the help of Romantic ideology, eventually dominate.
Chapter 1 sets the stage for German dominance of the field of music through a discussion of European cultural diplomacy in the nineteenth century. Following the Civil War, America became a battleground for European powers like France, Great Britain, and Germany, who sought to influence American allegiances and policy. In this age of colonial expansion, Gienow-Hecht argues that America was "one of the foremost targets of the European competition for cultural preponderance" (p. 22). At the same time, Gienow-Hecht shows how the newly unified German state was in a poor position to compete successfully in America, compared either to Great Britain with its shared language and political culture, or to France with its dominance of the visual arts and powerful organizations like the Alliance Française. Unsurprisingly, German governmental attempts at entering the cultural battle for determining American culture proved themselves to be unmitigated failures. Enter Gienow-Hecht's "informal ambassadors" who covertly brought with them notions of German culture and succeeded where the government had failed.
Explicating the notion of culture, and with it music's special role in the minds of the American public, is the subject of chapter 2, "Music, Magic, and Emotions." Gienow-Hecht's take on music here is quite broad, encompassing more familiar discussions of music as a universal language, but also ideas imbuing music with medicinal (and social) healing powers. Crucial for understanding this section, though a point not always made clear, is that Gienow-Hecht is rarely concerned with German developments in the theorization of music (e.g., anti-Romantic theorists like Eduard Hanslick). Instead, she is primarily concerned with how Americans like John S. Dwight, founder of Dwight's Journal of Music in 1859, came to understand serious music through the terms of Romanticism. For Dwight and others, music was a secret art filled with religiosity and wonder, and its Mecca was Germany. As Gienow-Hecht writes: "German conservatories and private instructors became the gatekeepers to the shrine of musical culture in the American perception. Passenger lists of steamers heading to Europe during the summers were filled with the names of middle-class Americans searching for Kultur and inner soul cleansing" (p. 55). More than five thousand Americans studied at Germany's conservatories and many more traveled to the continent in hope of a meeting with Franz Liszt in Weimar or Richard Wagner in Bayreuth.
If traveling to Germany signified an almost religious experience for Americans, time in America meant something very different to those German musicians and composers who came in ever-greater numbers after the revolutionary upheavals of 1848, the subject of chapter 3. Though money and fame were often factors motivating the trip across the Atlantic, for many more, like Anton Seidl and Theodore Thomas, the transfer of German music to the New World was an act of proselytization; they saw themselves as prophets (and were often perceived as such), bringing the gospel of absolute music to non-musical America. Though they could ally themselves to the United States as a political entity, their inner selves remained bound to German culture. Indeed, their status as strangers in their adopted land was fundamental to the success of their mission. Through them an image of the German as obsessed with Kultur and music was created, further entrenching the Romantic equation of German music and universality. In the American context, then, "German" came to signify "not a territorial entity but a universal idea" (p. 95). For example, it was important that musicians who were not actually from areas encompassed by the Germany formed in 1871 to claim German patrimony, either through education at a German conservatory or by adopting mannerisms associated with the "German" musician. In part, this reification of Romantic ideology served purposes unique to the American context. It ideologically fused two things foresworn to the white Anglo-American male: musicality and a masculinity in sync with emotionality. This combination created an uncomfortable situation for these purveyors of universality and Germanness, one in which they were idolized as sex symbols and attacked by throngs of female admirers. Indeed, Gienow-Hecht compares some of the touring musicians to figures from today's popular music scene, e.g., boy groups and Bono. While she is keen on upholding the study of serious music as central to the development of American national culture, her arguments would have been strengthened with more theorization of the impact on divisions between popular and high culture through the confrontation between European elite culture and American culture at large.
In the fourth and fifth chapters, Gienow-Hecht turns to the development of American musical culture, primarily the founding of symphony orchestras in the Northeast and Midwest. One of the more interesting results to come from this section is that despite German works dominating the repertoire, the German-American immigrant community had very little to do with the founding of these orchestras, even those founded after 1900--like the Minneapolis or Philadelphia symphony orchestras. Instead, the Anglo-American elite supported the creation and then staffing of these orchestras with German conductors and German-trained musicians. She writes that the "celebration of German high culture, and German music in particular, never connected with the actual German community in the United States, but remained firmly grounded in central European culture" (p. 149). As a cultural rather than capitalist enterprise, the symphony orchestra in America was never primarily profit-driven (there were, for example, few attempts at collaboration between such institutions and affiliated industries like instrument makers), and time and again orchestras registered losses. This situation forced some orchestras to close down. For American cities, having a symphony orchestra meant "to have local pride, to strive, to progress" (p. 119). More than this, the symphony orchestra hall was, as Gienow-Hecht shows in her analysis of the audience, often a means of disciplining an unruly public by creating a listening audience schooled in the art of experiencing the German symphony. The public that attended these performances did not homogeneously belong to the elite. Though there are few extant resources through which to reconstruct the audience, she makes a strong case that it consisted not only of vast numbers of (elite) women, but also of the middle class, working class, and some African Americans. Much more conclusive are her thoughts on the repertoire. To be sure there was much non-German fare and indeed much non-symphonic music (here I would have liked to have seen her engage a bit more with the increasing popularity of the Gesamtkunstwerk of Wagnerian opera in opposition to the pure musicality of absolute music), but it was still German music that held a hegemonic position within the American music scene. A telling statistic in this regard comes from the debut season (1881-82) of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in which seventy-four (80 percent) of the ninety-two works performed were of German origin.
Chapters 7 and 8 recount the downfall of the ideology of the Romantics through the rise of cultural nationalism in America. In chapter 7, "Musical Patriotism and the Fear of Europe," Gienow-Hect describes not only increased American resistance to modern German music (e.g., Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner, Johann Strauss) but also attempts to create a unique American music, free of German characteristics. This process started between 1880 and 1920 and took two paths. The first, and more concrete, consisted of efforts to "Americanize" the musicians. The foremost actor here was the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), which, with the help of the Alien Contract Labor Bill (1885), made it increasingly difficult for foreign musicians to find and maintain their positions. Beyond this, there was an ideological battle over the future of American music. Having adopted the German view of music as the nation's soul, the rising nation set out to look for the American composer who would write American music at a level on par with its imagined destiny of greatness. "American music critics," writes Gienow-Hecht, "believed that the American genius would express itself in American musical composition, written by a composer who was clearly American and, thus, could give a voice to the American experience" (p. 159).
Though the search for the American composer continued, as the next chapter, "Facing the Music in World War I," shows, in the years between 1914 and 1918 German music and musicians paid dearly for their earlier success. Concert programs featuring German composers were censored, guest appearances cancelled, and the "Star Spangled Banner" became a mainstay of performances, "a must for every orchestra and soloist" (p. 185). Such revision of the canon in favor of non-German and American compositions peaked after the entry of the United States into the war in 1917. Perhaps most fatally for Gienow-Hecht's "informal ambassadors," the qualities that had once endeared them to the American public (such as their preference for and belief in the superiority of German culture) now became severe disadvantages. The most important case of such a reversal of fortune can be seen in the fate of conductor Karl Muck, music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra between 1912 and 1918. The scandal began with Muck's assertion that asking a symphony orchestra "to play The Star Spangled Banner is embarrassing.... It is almost an insult. Such an attempt would be destructive of the very thing the Symphony stands for--musical art" (p. 197). That Muck, who was Swiss, and not a German citizen, was eventually deported for this and other ill-advised statements reveals the uniqueness of the American response. In England and France, by contrast, German music continued to be performed throughout the war. The measures against German music during the war were thus not the knee-jerk reaction of a public seized by jingoistic hypernationalism. The atmosphere generated by the war, rather, offered Americans a pretext to achieve what many had been advocating since the 1880s. As she writes, the war presented them with "an opportunity to end the universalism of German music on American concert stages" (p. 197). For Gienow-Hecht, the overly sensitive reaction of Americans to musicians like Muck is explainable only in light of the special relationship between German and American culture that had been forged through German music. The reaction to German music during World War I was so severe because it was so essential to the formation of American musical culture.
Overall, Gienow-Hecht's cultural and informal approach to international relations provides new insight into how the German-American relationship was shaped more by deep structures of thought than by immediate state actions. She successfully demonstrates that the German-American relationship was special long before the Second World War. This work will be especially useful for scholars interested in new models for thinking through the complexity of transatlantic relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as for those concerned with the international implications of the complex interweaving of music and national identity in German culture.

IDESIGN was established by Kristin Hayward with a passion for design, a love for managing the transformation of space, & a desire to see the joy on clients faces when they see their finished product. IDESIGN aims to make the renovation process as simple as possible for clients by providing all services required from concept to completion.
Why did you decide to get into this field?
My story on how I got here is a bit unique to most. I graduated with a Commerce Honours Degree with a major in Marketing, from the University of Manitoba. I have always been a creative person & thought that a career in Marketing would provide me with the creative release that I needed. However, my job really boiled down to a lot of statistics....not quite the creative release I was looking for.
Once somewhat established in our careers my husband and I decided to build a new house. It was at this point where my love of design begun to manifest itself into something in which I really cannot control. As I started to flip through home plans, & examine all of the established options for building our home I could not find a one stop shop that fit all my wants & needs. I then decided to design & build the house myself from the ground up; starting with the design of the floor plan, product selection, all the way through general contracting. The finished product was really a dream come true.
Once the house was complete, I was craving more. I started to assist family & friends with their décor & home renovation projects, & eventually built yet another house from the ground-up. I finally decided I needed to make a change, so I went back to school, received a Diploma in Interior Design, opened IDESIGN – Interiors by Kristin, & began pursuing my dreams.
What do you like most about your job?
This is a very personal job. People welcome me into their home or business & trust me with one of their most valuable possessions. The reactions of my clients when they see their finished space is really the biggest payoff for me. There are not many careers in which you are able to build such a personal relationship with your clients & are able to improve their quality of life & transform the way they enjoy their space.
What is your design style?
I tend to gravitate to modern & contemporary design. However, I love to balance these schemes with classic & traditional elements to create a timeless space. I also love to use organic natural materials, such as live edge slabs & reclaimed or salvaged woods.
What inspires you?
My clients often are a big source of inspiration. I love to get into their heads & create a space in which they are hoping for, but just need a little help to get there.
What does "good design" mean to you?
"Good design" to me, is so much more than simply looking great; it needs to function properly & this I think is the key. The other key feature, especially for residential clients, is a space that speaks to them & feels like home. I like to incorporate where I can personal items, whether it is an heirloom piece of furniture, family pictures, or photos of travel. I like to use some pieces that are unique to my clients to make their space feel like theirs.

Just recently a friend who I've had some amazing adventures with wrote to me and said
I'm pretty sure you must be getting excited/apprehensive by now. Think the small details will probably matter more to you than me, and I bet a lot hinges on getting those tiny details just right. You were always good at that though; more of a fine brush artist compared to my broad strokes!
Funnily, I'd be looking at everything in massive strokes, and am really only just getting down to the detail.
Fortunately I've been looking after a good few things as part of my, that are the detail so my list is pretty short and seems surmountable. Even though someone helpfully posted that it's less than 1000 hours now before we jump on the plane. Ooof.
One of those detailed items is nutrition – fuelling the body. Because I have to carry my food for the event, calorie to weight is an essential consideration. I'm lucky that I've been looking at this for a while, tested items in events and training and am now pretty confident that my final details are getting sorted. A more detailed blog to follow.
Trail food is a real pick me up, and having something that picks you up psychologically is as important as the nutritional value. Having considered and tested fat and nuts for a long distance rowing project and woofed down chicken curry with Mars bars melted in I can definitely testify to food fuelling a campaign like this.
I was introduced to Bounce Balls about 7 months ago, and was initially hesitant. However, feeding my body with good quality, balanced natural food is essential. When pushing the body hard recovery is an essential part of training. I've found for the last 6 months. Bounce natural energy balls are a really convenient way to fit quality calories into a 5 meal a day eating plan. This has become really important whilst looking at weight management. The balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate is perfect and the various tastes are delicious. They are absolutely perfect when I want a treat and are really filling. I've also found that they are well packaged for training food. I choose to eat them through rest cycles, and they immediately stop rumbling stomachs.
As well as using them day to day for training, I will be using Bounce Balls for breakfast during the event.
You'll spot Bounce products in a number of high street retailers or you can but them online. I really recommend giving them a go. Look out for the logo!

My local bookseller doesn't carry "Country Life" magazine any longer, so I miss seeing all the ads of houses for sale in England. But I could not find the listing under properties currently for sale in that area. Any news of the current status? It may be my favorite of all the wonderful Lutyens houses.

Lutyens knew how to play the game, didn't he? Just brilliant how he bends and twists shape and convention.
I've seen more than one McMansion whose architect has mined this house for inspiration, without remotely 'getting' what it actually is that makes this place work.
And how about that landscaping? Designed within an inch of its life on a small lot, and it expands space and takes the eye further than it really goes. Yup. Lutyens understood movement, and volume.
