No. 1 Brain Waves
Baseline Brain Waves – Tim's Electronic Music class at the Robin Hood Association – have a CD at number 1 on the CJSR Electronic chart! Number 5 in their Top Ten! Congratulations crew!
Forget Barrack Obama, Grant Hart taught me the true meaning of Hope. Duncan and I were playing in the Maykings in the middle of a tour with Hart and preparing to leave Nelson B.C. when our punk rock hero demanded a driving shift. He'd been spending a lot of time talking about his passion for Studebakers, so we figured he'd probably putter along like the responsible Middle Ager he resembled in his cardigan. I mean, how much mayhem can an Eisenhower era family sedan inspire? Apparently the Studebaker has the soul of a rocket sled fuelled by curdled demon blood.
Hart blasted us off into dense long-weekend traffic, bumper to bumper rvs and pick-ups towing speed boats winding along a tight mountain highway. Everyone in his path was a mortal enemy who needed to be banished to the rearview mirror. At every opportunity he swerved into oncoming motorhomes to barrel ahead of whomever he'd been tail-gating then wedge back into a car-length gap that often only existed because surrounding motorists were braking in horror at the suicidal spectacle. Every time he risked our lives with this gut churning maneuver he'd triumphantly shake his fist out the window at the vanquished, now a full second behind us and probably spewing curses at the fist-waving maniac ahead.
When we stopped in Hope (see what I did there) to let the smoking brakes cool drummer Marek, who'd been bouncing around the backseat and was now whiter than any of the Caucasians in the band, sternly said, "He is not driving anymore."
In addition to trying to kill me and my friends one day on a B.C. highway (and that was just one of the many tense episodes on our little trek), Grant Hart also made some of the most important music to me over the last thirty-years – moving, passionate, kick-ass rock and roll – not just with the Huskers but right up to his last couple of records, the songs on which stand up to anything else he created. The guy was greatness (as long as you hid the car keys), and his untimely passing is a sad loss.
The talented crew in Tim's Electronic Music Class at the Robin Hood Association have compiled a year's worth of tracks and uploaded a full-length album on Bandcamp. Check it out!

Today, Stand with Bandcamp in Support of Immigrants/Basic Human Values
Like 98% of U.S. citizens (including the President), I am the descendant of immigrants—my great-grandparents came to America from Russia and Lithuania as teenagers and worked in sweatshops until they were able to afford to bring the rest of their families over. Most everyone you speak to in this country has a similar story to tell, because we are, in fact, a nation of immigrants, bound together by a shared belief in justice, equality, and the freedom to pursue a better life. In this context, last week's Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States is not simply immoral, it violates the very spirit and foundation of America.
Contrary to the assertions of the current administration, the order will not make us safer (an opinion shared by the State Department and many members of Congress including prominent Republicans). Christian religious leaders have denounced both the ban, as well as the exception prioritizing Christian immigrants, as inhumane. It is an unequivocal moral wrong, a cynical attempt to sow division among the American people, and is in direct opposition to the principles of a country where the tenet of religious freedom is written directly into the Constitution. This is not who we are, and it is not what we believe in. We at Bandcamp oppose the ban wholeheartedly, and extend our support to those whose lives have been upended.
And so all day today (starting at 12:01am Pacific Time), for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, we will be donating 100% of our share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working tirelessly to combat these discriminatory and unconstitutional actions.
As another way of showing solidarity with the immigrants and refugees from the seven banned countries—as well as those impacted by the construction of the Mexican border wall—we've compiled a list of albums made by artists from the affected countries (Bandcamp may be incorporated in the United States, but we host artists from every corner of the world). We believe that knowledge and empathy are crucial weapons against fear and intolerance. We hope that, as you listen to these albums, you'll not only discover some great new artists, but will also gain a further appreciation and understanding for the way music transcends all borders, and remember that, even in the darkest of times, there is more that unites us than divides us.
— Ethan Diamond, Bandcamp Founder & CEO

Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp, Acting Chief of Investigations Chris Kimker, Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon, Morris Township Chief of Police Mark DiCarlo, Randolph Township Chief of Police David Stokoe, Morris Plains Borough Chief of Police Jason A. Kohn, and Hanover Township Chief of Police Mark D. Roddy announce that on April 27, 2019, they will be participating in the first Operation Take Back program of 2019.
Operation Take Back is a bi-annual event coordinated nationally by the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Law enforcement agencies on the state, county, and municipal levels work together to host Operation Take Back across the nation. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office is partnering with the Morris County Sheriff's Office, Morris Township Police Department, the Randolph Township Police Department, the Hanover Township Police Department, and the Morris Plains Borough Police Department. The goal of Operation Take Back is to encourage the public to turn over unused, unwanted, or expired prescription medicine for proper disposal. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office and the Morris County Sheriff's Office collect the turned over prescription drugs, and properly destroy them following the event.
Operation Take Back will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the following locations in Morris County:
Shoprite of Greater Morristown
178 East Hanover Ave
Cedar Knolls, New Jersey 07927
ACME Supermarket
690 Millbrook Road
Randolph, New Jersey 07869
Stop and Shop Supermarket
245 Littleton Road
Morris Plains, New Jersey 07950
If you are unable drop off your medication this Saturday you can utilize any other permanent drop box locations nearest you, which are listed at the following websites:
http://safehealthymorris.org/dropbox/ or https://sheriff.morriscountynj.gov/community/drug/ .
The program was an enormous success in Morris County in 2018. Between the two days held in April and October, there was a total of 841 pounds of prescription drugs turned in.
Prosecutor Knapp said, "Operation Take Back's success in 2018 is something to be proud of. We hope that this year's initiative will yield similar if not better results. Properly disposing of prescription drugs plays a key role in our continued fight against the Heroin and Opioid Epidemic. The residents of Morris County have strongly supported this initiative in the past, and we are hopeful they will continue to do so on April 27th".
Inquiries concerning this press release should be directed to Public Information Officer Peter DiGennaro at [email protected] or 973-829-8159.

One of the really good things about staying at a house with a really lovely and full garden is that there is plenty of plants which can be divided and propagated and then taken over to our own garden.
Over the weekend I dug half a dozen Japanese Windflower plants out of the kitchen window patch. They're the white, single anemones and far too beautiful not to try them out at our place.
The roots are surprisingly thick and robust considering how delicate the leaves and stems are.
I've popped the whole lot into a couple of pots and they're staying outside in the rain and semi-shade. Let's hope they do well, I think they look a little seasick, hanging over the edge of the pots like that, thinking, what the hell just happened?
I also helped myself to some of the raspberries. Notice they all have leaves? It never really gets cold enough here for plants to go truely dormant.
Last year at Christmas we ate ourselves silly on the raspberries out of MIL's patch. I did plant some at our place last winter but they were eaten by insects so many times that they struggled and struggled and eventually died. I also have native raspberries planted and they are looking quite good but aren't known for an abundance of fruit. These raspberries have been potted up into a very sexy ice cream container, ready to be shifted later on in winter.
I might take some more over the week, I think, the more I have the more will survive? Right?

1 year Old Avocado Tree
I have a 1 year old avocado tree I sprouted the end of last fall. I have kept it out all summer and brought it in this fall to keep the frost off. I live in Tn. and it gets pretty cold here in winter. I want to know if I can still prune it while indoors, and if so, how much? It is only about 2 and a half feet tall with no branches. Can I cut it down some so it will bush out, and put it back out next spring? I don't want to kill it.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
If you just want it to branch out, simply snip off the top of the plant, maybe just a leaf or two down on the main branch (but make sure you cut through the branch). This will force lateral growth to begin, which will make side branches and result in a bushier plant without too much damage to the plant.

Preparation, presentation and the right choice of attire are among the key things to remember if you want to throw a perfect Christmas party. Here are some holiday party preparation tips for hostesses who want to host an unforgettable holiday event:
Dress Up
Stress is inevitable with all the preparations needed for hosting a Christmas party but don't make this an excuse to wear a sloppy outfit. Pre-plan the clothes that you will wear ahead of time. Go for a dress that is best suited for your shape and style. Make sure that your outfit is functional enough to allow you to easily move between your guests. Pair your dress with a strand of pearls or a jeweled cuff bracelet, along with an evening sandal or fashion pump. Look spectacular with a well-applied red lipstick and a confident smile.
Set Up The Venue
Dress up your house to reflect the holiday spirit. Deck the halls with garlands of fresh greenery and vintage decorations. Spritz the pine cones with cinnamon-scented oil and light scented candles. Let your creativity work to create an atmosphere that evokes the Christmas season.
Prepare The Food Ahead Of The Party
Prepare the food before you expect guests to arrive so you will have ample time to dress yourself then entertain people once they arrive. If you're preparing the food yourself, make sure that you bake the special treats ahead of time. Choose recipes you can make in advance that freeze well. Decide if the party will be a sit down, formal or informal event so you will know how to set the table. Make sure you use the correct china, stemware and cutlery for your menu.
Create A Festive Mood
Soft music can set the tone of your party and get your guests in the mood for fun. You can compile your playlist ahead of time but if you want to make the celebration extra special, consider hiring a musician to entertain your guests.
Bialek's Music can recommend the best entertainment option for your Christmas event. We have been providing entertainment to parties in the Washington Metropolitan area for nearly 40 years. Our experience in the industry can assure you of entertainment that can make your Christmas event extra special. Contact us today to learn how we can help make your Christmas a truly festive experience!

The Act Of Roger Murgatroyd
Having fallen into a reading slump recently, which is somewhat criminal of me, I decided to look for something light, fun, and potentially enjoyable. So, who better an author to sit back with than Gilbert Adair, a man whose novels come laden with lingusitic tricks and twists? And what better a book than The Act Of Roger Murgatroyd (2006), if only because its subtitle is An Entertainment. Oh, I needed entertaining.
This book, then, is a pastiche of the murder mystery genre, the style fitting that of the Agatha Christie mould. In fact, its title is a play on Christie's The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, which I've never read, so I'm sure there are plenty of in-jokes that went over my head, although ignorance of them is not needed in order to enjoy this novel. But, that one novel aside, there are many nods and winks to Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot that I was able to pick up on, if only through television adaptions.
Set on Boxing Day, in 1935, Raymond Gentry ("a professional snitch") is murdered in the attic of ffolkes manor in Dartmoor. What makes it all the more intriguing is that the attic is locked from the inside. Snowed in with everyone suspicious of the other, step forward Evadne Mount, writer of the Alexis Baddeley series of whodunits, and Chief-Inspector Trubshawe, retired of Scotland Yard, to solve the case. And solve it they do, albeit with little sleuthing and much dialogue, making this somewhat reminiscent of Adair's A Closed Book, while being nothing like it at the same time.
As you would expect, especially after he has unearthed much of their dirt, everyone in the manor has their own motives for killing Gentry, which Mount relates to Trubshawe:
You'll excuse me, I trust, if I decline to go into greater detail about the painful things we all had to hear about each other. All I'm prepared to say is that, when we turned in that night, there wasn't one of us who wouldn't have rejoiced if Raymond Gentry had been struck down by a thunderbolt.
Or, for that matter (she concluded), by a bullet.
As you can tell from that passage, Adair enjoys playing within the conventions of the classic murder mystery, knowingly using stereotypes and clichés that would otherwise damn a novel, which Trubshawe lists in one of his fiction versus reality rants that I can only assume references actual Christie novels:
"…apart from locked rooms, you'll find the whole trumpery bag of tricks. You know, a secret passage that only the murderer has a key to. A clock and mirror facing each other at the scene of the crime, meaning the dial was read in reverse. Some black sheep of a family shipped off to South Africa and supposed to have died there, except that nobody's certain he really did. All the usual whodunit hoohah. Load of codswallop, if you ask me. "
So how does The Act Of Roger Murgatroyd differ from more cosy murder mysteries? Well, one way is to add a postmodern slant to the text, so that not only do we have a narrative but a conscious playing with the structure. Another is to include references to the author, the publisher (faber & faber) and observations of how it's just like being in a book. And finally, there's the ballsy unveiling, without being in any way a spoiler, of the murderer in the title. But while I never solved the crime myself, despite a few moments where I circled around the rather ingenious solution, I'm proud I wasn't led along by the many red herrings scattered throughout.
In comparison to other Adair novels, The Act Of Roger Murgatroyd is lighter in tone, the verbal trickery not as intense as something like Buenas Noches Buenos Aires, but it's still, just as it promises, entertaining. And being the first in the Evadne Mount trilogy, there's thankfully two more acts to look forward to.

Can anyone recommend a good welder, ideally with Romahome (C15) experience (South West, ideally Devon/Somerset/Dorset)? My beloved 23 years old Hylo needs a bit of TLC. She has got a little bit of rust on the sills and also an advisory note on the front cross member underneath the radiator.
She could also do with a new driver door and bonnet (as they do). I know these are hard to come by, but I heard that it is possible to use doors from another car model. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
EDIT: -Please note: I have already checked Ant from Avon Motors, but he had to stop welding (see reply below).
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Demystifying the Different Types of MS
From RRMS to PPMS and everything in between, identifying the different types of MS can be tricky. We break down the facts.read more
Whoever said 'a change is as good as a holiday' obviously didn't have multiple sclerosis. For anyone living with this unpredictable disease, you probably recognize that any change in symptoms can be a huge source of anxiety. If you have the relapsing–remitting form of MS (RRMS), in particular, then you may worry about your condition shifting into what has long been considered the dreaded "secondary progressive stage" of the disease.
The word "progressive" in itself is pretty scary, conjuring up images of a slippery slope downward, and you in a wheelchair at the bottom of it… but let's just pump the brakes, and look at the facts.
Understanding the transition from RRMS to SPMS
Firstly, SPMS is not so much a second "stage" of the disease as a continuation of RRMS. You won't suddenly step off a cliff one day and wake up to discover your MS is suddenly "worse". The scary terminology is simply a label that doctors use to describe a change in the way the disease behaves. Rather than acute episodes of inflammation, the nerve fibres themselves gradually begin to deteriorate. For the record, studies suggest around half of people make this transition after 19 years , but it varies greatly from person to person.
Recognising onset of SPMS
So how can you tell when your condition has changed? Well, unlike the now-you-see-me-now-you-don't pattern of MS you're probably used to, you may notice that certain symptoms stick around and get worse with time. Although this admittedly doesn't sound great, the change in the way the disease manifests itself is such a gradual one, it's actually pretty hard to diagnose. In fact, a diagnosis of SPMS can usually only be made retrospectively, after a year, sometimes more, of no relapses .
It's also worth remembering that SPMS isn't necessarily a steep slope. Just as RRMS affects each person very differently, progression of MS can vary greatly, too. Yes, some people may notice a deterioration in their symptoms with time – it might take you longer to think of that actor's name, for example ("You know, whatsername… the one who was in that movie with that other one… you know, with the hair…"). Or maybe, you notice your balance is slightly off (even without the aid of a glass of wine!), or perhaps it takes you longer to stroll to the shops. For some people, however, there are long periods when symptoms are stable, or progression can be so slow they barely notice it .
Finding Support with SPMS
And here's another misconception: once you've developed SPMS you're on your own – there are no drugs that can halt the progression of the disease; your doctor will simply shrug and shout 'next!'. In fact, the development of disease-modifying drugs means fewer people are developing SPMS in the first place, and those who do, take longer .
In the meantime, there are a wealth of ways your doctor and physio team can help manage your symptoms, so don't be afraid to use those resources. Counselling can also be helpful for processing the emotional fallout of living with MS, as can leaning on loved ones and reaching out via online support groups.
Life is unpredictable, whether you have MS or not, but that definitely shouldn't stop you living it to the fullest. And yes, that includes taking plenty of holidays – real ones!

Be warned that this article might contain some general spoilers. If you've purposely avoided reading anything about Modern Warfare 2 in hopes to witness the game with untainted eyes... well, then you're not doing a very good job by reading this article! There are no plot-ruining spoilers revealed here, but there is some discussion about the opening scene of the game further below, that might take away some of Modern Warfare 2's surprises.
When people think of controversy and video games, the Grand Theft Auto franchise and lawyer/crusader Jack Thompson generally come to mind. In reality, games are marred with controversy all the time, even seemingly harmless titles like the Nintendo DS's Scribblenauts has had its share of controversial discoveries.
People like to complain about anything, and the best place to complain about things is through the Internet. And who are some of the biggest users of the Internet? Gamers!
You might not be aware, but the Call of Duty franchise has had its share of controversies. To some, these issues are insignificant, to others they're worthy of petitioning over 100,000 people to influence the developer/publisher to make changes. Here are some of the more recent controversies surrounding the Call of Duty franchise.
With Call of Duty: World at War, PETA the animal rights organization, took offense to scenes in the game where the player killed attack dogs. PETA also didn't like the multiplayer perk that allows the player to unleash a pack of attack dogs on their enemies. In order to help promote a kinder, gentler portrayal of dogs in the Call of Duty games, PETA sent Activision copies of Nintendogs. Activision responded by saying that the dogs were included in the game for authenticity, as they were used extensively during World War II, and didn't feel that the in-game violence towards the attack dogs condoned or endorsed cruelty to animals.
There have been subtle jabs between the two development studios who make the Call of Duty games: Infinity Ward and Treyarch. Many argue that the Infinity Ward releases are superior to Treyarch's. Infinity Ward has worked on Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Treyarch has developed Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty: World at War, as well as the Wii port of Modern Warfare 2 called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex. (Whew! Talk about an overuse of colons!) Regardless of the developer, the Call of Duty games are huge commercial successes, and are always amongst the top of the list of most-played multiplayer games on both the 360 and the PS3. In my opinion, I do think that Infinity Ward continues to push innovation through its Call of Duty releases more than Treyarch does. That being said, Treyarch is going to have some big shoes to fill with 2010's Call of Duty title, as Infinity Ward set the bar pretty high with Modern Warfare 2.
Perhaps the most drastically overlooked controversial issues that could have been resolved with a little common sense, was the recent YouTube ad for Modern Warfare 2. The video clip features the voice, as well as an in-game likeness of, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. He discusses how randomly throwing grenades in multiplayer is "for pussies." The video clip ends with Cole Hamel's character being tagged with a ridiculous amount of grenades and he is then blown up as he shouts out an expletive. After the action fades to black, the name of a fake interest group, "Fight Against Grenade Spam" is shown. The acronym is F.A.G.S. The most offensive thing to me about this video isn't the video's "rawness" or its acronym, but the sheer idiocy in planning and execution that must've gone into the production.
Did the video editors simply throw this advertisement on the Internet without getting higher approval? Ultimately, the video was pulled from the official YouTube page when the Internet started heating up. Perhaps this was a well-planned marketing scheme, subscribing to the notion that "there is no such thing as bad publicity." To me, it reeks of "it sounded good at the time" amateurism.
Developer Infinity Ward was also rumored to have disabled the ability for Xbox Live users to use the party chat feature during ranked multiplayer games. Party chat allows Xbox Live subscribers to chat amongst their friends regardless of what game they're playing on the Xbox 360. To me, this makes perfect sense for ranked multiplayer games, as ranked online matches is where a player's win/loss record truly matters and is where the more serious gamers play. As I understand it, when a player dies, their communication channel is cut off as to not assist their teammates by giving away enemy positions while their character is in limbo. Party chat would circumvent this this "disconnection." Like I said, this rumored decision makes sense to me.
The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 had PC gamers up in arms in October, after Infinity Ward stated that multiplayer on dedicated servers would not be allowed. To console gamers, this doesn't seem like a big deal, but to the PC gaming enthusiasts it is very much so. Select groups in the PC gaming community called modders, like to get under the engine of a game and modify aspects of it to create a unique online gaming experience. Sometimes this is importing new character models, or changing a weapon's rate of fire or even its effectiveness. Most of the modding that is done is harmless, but modding an online game can make for a very unbalanced multiplayer experience. Infinity Ward's reasoning behind the exclusion of dedicated servers was to keep online matches as free from cheating and griefing as possible. With a pay-to-play service like Xbox Live, I expect the game publisher/developer as well as Microsoft helps to ensure a fair and balanced online experience. I know too many online gamers who have quit playing certain games altogether because other players took advantage of glitches in the game, and a patch to stop the "cheating" wasn't implemented fast enough.
But it doesn't stop there.
Another series of downsides to the PC gaming experience for Modern Warfare 2 recently surfaced. According to Joystiq.com, Infinity Ward confirmed during a Best Buy online chat, that in addition to the PC version having a 9-vs-9 player limit, there would also be no way to kick players from ranked matches, and there would be no console commands. Again, for console gamers, this doesn't seem like a major issue, but to the PC gaming enthusiasts, it's extremely limiting.
Of course, we can't talk about controversy and Modern Warfare 2 without mentioning the game's opening scene, where you assume the role of a group of terrorists who walk through an airport killing innocent and unarmed civilians. Infinity Ward had stated that the player does not have to participate in the killings. Having such a shocking opening, whether or not the player openly participates in the murder of innocent people, could lead to a lot of media denouncements of the game after its release, especially after recent news of the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas on November 5th. Will more conservative news outlets, like Fox News, heavily condemn Modern Warfare 2 for a possible glorified look at violence through the eyes of a terrorist? Again, is this a brilliant marketing scheme for Modern Warfare 2, or is this an attempt to inject some much needed emotion in the video-game medium? People say that games aren't art because there's no emotional connection. If the game elicits a response, even if it's one of extreme discomfort and anger at the events unfolding, could Infinity Ward help push the industry forward in this regard?
William Shakespeare once said, "What is in a name?" When you're referring to Modern Warfare 2, nobody is really sure. When the game was first announced, Infinity Ward was promoting it as just "Modern Warfare 2." The Call of Duty branding was blatantly missing. This, of course led to all sorts of rumors and speculation. Was Infinity Ward creating a spinoff of the Call of Duty series? Activision finally confirmed that the standard-edition of Modern Warfare 2 would feature the Call of Duty brand logo to show its association with the Call of Duty franchise.
Check back here all week long for more articles about the Call of Duty franchise, including the first impressions of the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Photo Friday: Taos Pueblo
June 2, 2016 | Photo Friday | 18 Comments|
Share the joy
Taos Pueblo was one of the main sites I wanted to see during our road trip to Dallas. My family went there when I was a kid years ago, but I didn't remember much about it other than I really liked it.
I'm glad I was able to go back when I can actually appreciate the history of it. Taos Pueblo dates back over 1000 years and it's still a living working pueblo. So many people have fought to keep their land and heritage. This shot is of the pueblo cemetery and the ruins are what remains of the original church that was destroyed during the Spanish Revolt in the 1600s.
Have you heard of Taos Pueblo?

Price: $17.00
Manufacturer: GSI Outdoors
Shipping Weight: 2.00 lbs
The Small GSI Lexan Dry Box has interior measurements of 5-1/2" wide X 4" front to back, by 2-7/8" deep. The dimensions are similar to the X-small size except for the depth. If you want to use this for a phone measure first before ordering.
Some of our customers have used this size and the Medium for holding rescue hardware like pulleys and carabiners for part of an "un-wrapping" kit, but then again those items don't need to stay dry. With a little foam padding this size can also work well for even some of the more bulky point & shoot cameras. We do have a $25 minimum order so keep that in mind when ordering on the shopping cart.

Billionaire investor George Soros recently directed a series of "big, bearish investments" after a long break from trading, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people close to the matter.
Soros Fund Management, which manages around $30 billion for the Soros family, sold stocks and bought gold and shares in gold miners, amid a "gloomier" view of the global economic outlook and the potential for large market moves, the WSJ reported.
In an interview by email with the news outlet, Soros noted particular concerns over capital flight from China, as well as how the mainland's political milieu may prevent lasting reform.

Singapore: Real State Control
World Policy Journal begins each issue with the Big Question, where we ask a panel of experts to provide insight into the cover theme. The question for the summer 2016 Renegade Cities issue is: How can governments collaborate with the private sector to provide affordable housing? Below, Sock-Yong Phang explains how the government of Singapore has taken on the role of land use planner and housing developer to ensure affordable housing. Click for additional perspectives from Jordan and Brazil.
By Sock-Yong Phang
Numerous instruments have been devised by governments to provide affordable housing. These can be classified into four broad categories: taxes and subsidies, land use and market regulations, public-private partnerships, and institutions that supply housing or provide financing.
The Singapore government deploys all of the above, but its principal role is that of a land use planner and housing developer. Singapore's Housing and Development Board has built three-quarters of the housing in the country. The HDB acquires and clears sites for development or redevelopment, resettles and/or compensates affected households and businesses, and coordinates with other government agencies for provision of infrastructure and local amenities. The HDB provides detailed land use plans and building designs, and private sector building contractors are selected for HDB construction projects through competitive tenders. The HDB Building and Development Division was corporatized in 2003 and has since evolved into an international building consultancy company, Surbana International Consultants Private Limited. Surbana provides consultancy services to the HDB as well as internationally, with offices in 16 cities.
Ninety-four percent of HDB flats have been sold below market prices on 99-year leases, and the homeownership rate for the resident population is 90 percent. Households can make the down payment and mortgage payments from their Central Provident Fund accounts. The fund is a mandatory retirement savings scheme that was transformed to incorporate a major housing finance component in 1968. The household income ceiling for couples buying a new HDB flat is 12,000 Singaporean dollars ($8,870) per month; this is 38 percent above the 2015 median monthly household income of 8,666 Singaporean dollars ($6,400). Resale to another Singaporean or permanent resident household at market value is permitted after a minimum occupancy period of five years. There are no income ceilings for buyers of HDB resale flats.
The HDB also provides housing grant subsidies that vary with household income to buyers of both new and resale HDB flats. The housing grant for a first-time homeowner with monthly income below 1,500 Singaporean dollars ($1,100) can be as much as 80,000 Singaporean dollars ($60,000). This is up to 50 percent of the listed subsidized price of a new three-room HDB flat, and up to 30 percent of the market resale price of a three-room HDB flat.
The HDB also acts as a housing finance institution by providing loans to HDB flat buyers at 2.6 percent interest rate. As the Central Provident Fund Board makes mortgage payments on behalf of members directly to the HDB or commercial banks, the payment system itself reduces default risk and lowers the cost of borrowing. Commercial banks compete with starting interest rates that are below 2 percent, and currently have more than 80 percent share of the housing loans market.
The government collaborates with the private sector to increase the housing supply for the remaining population through a number of other interventions. As the largest landowner, the government sells land at regular intervals by tender to private housing developers under its Government Land Sales program. This program provides housing for higher income or foreign households as well as for investors. Legislation that facilitated the en-bloc sale of older properties with multiple owners for redevelopment has also contributed to increase the supply of new housing.
In addition to supply-side interventions, numerous regulations have been introduced to curb speculative and investment demand, helping to maintain housing prices at more affordable levels.
Affordable homeownership in Singapore is the result of multipronged land and housing policies, collaboration with the private sector, and careful regulation of housing markets.

LANHAM —They used to be only fantasies in science fiction movies: robots sailing through the air above humankind, flown without an onboard pilot, able to do just about anything.
But unmanned aerial vehicles, colloquially called drones, are very much a reality, and the American Civil Liberties Union Maryland branch is taking steps to protect Marylanders' privacy rights, which the organization believes may be infringed upon if police begin using the machines.
"Law enforcement use of drones raises significant privacy concerns," said David Rocah, staff attorney for the ACLU of Maryland. "Drones enable a kind of persistent surveillance that is simply not possible using any other type of technology."
Legislation regulating the use of surveillance drones died in Maryland committee during the General Assembly's legislative session earlier this year.
However, Rocah anticipates the legislation will soon be reintroduced. When it does, the ACLU expects bipartisan support, he said.
"These privacy concerns transcend traditional ideological boundaries," he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is scheduled in September of next year to release updated guidelines for unmanned aerial devices, which are currently monitored strictly.
When these guidelines are published, many people expect popular use of the machines to skyrocket, Rocah said.
Police use of drones is not unheard of. Already, unmanned aerial vehicles have been used by police to apprehend criminals –– in 2011, police in North Dakota used a Predator drone owned by the Department of Homeland Security to arrest Rodney Brossart for stealing cows.
More than 80 agencies across the country have applied for licenses from the FAA to use drones across the county as of last year, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group focused on digital protection.
Already, this is concerning, Rocah said.
"It's the virtual equivalent of having a police officer following you and filming you when you walk out of your house," he said. "If the police were actually, literally doing that, it would not be tolerated."
Locally, there are not yet any Prince George's police agencies who have applied for a license to use drones.
"We don't use drones now, and have no plans to do so in the future," said Lt. William Alexander, a spokesperson for the Prince George's County Police Department.
Alexander "politely declined" The Sentinel's request to speak to Prince George's County Police Chief Mark Magaw about potential drone use by the police department.
Privacy is the main area of concern when it comes to drones, said Lt. John Knott of the City of Bowie Police Department.
"Right now, the perception from the public is limiting," Knott said. "Anyone would be concerned about privacy–– information about where they're flying over, what they're monitoring and what information they're collecting."
Bowie police are not looking into drone use currently, he said.
Greenbelt Police spokesman George Mathews said the city's police department has no current plans to use drones, but said, "We don't know what the future holds."
However, the FBI has applied for a license to use drones, and its headquarters may move to the city if Greenbelt City Council gets its wish.
In November, the FAA released a roadmap to integrating drones into U.S. airspace, which has sparked discussion about how drone use will change in the future.
"Unmanned aircraft offer new ways for commercial enterprises and public operators to increase operational efficiency, decrease costs, and enhance safety; and this roadmap will allow us to safely and efficiently integrate them into the [national airspace]," Michael Huerta, acting administrator for the FAA, wrote in the report. "[Unmanned aircraft] integration must be accomplished without reducing existing capacity, decreasing safety, impacting current operators, or placing other airspace users or persons and property on the ground at increased risk."
In its report, the FAA acknowledged the importance of protecting privacy and civil liberties and set forth privacy policies at drone test sites.
Rocah said the ACLU believes police should obtain a warrant before using any information collected by drones, he said.
"There are endless benign and useful applications of drones," Rocah said. "It's the surveillance of people we are concerned about."
But drone use is likely inevitable as technology advances, he said.
"If we close our eyes, they won't just go away," said Christopher Vo, a Ph.D. student at George Mason University studying robotics and drones.
Vo, president of the D.C. Area Drone Users Meetup Group, has built more than 60 drones and currently owns at least 10. Vo uses drones primarily for research purposes such as testing algorithms for a study on the movement of robotics. While his use is limited, Vo said said the possibilities with drones are nearly endless.
"When you hear the word 'drone,' you probably think of drone strikes — drones that are being used to kill people in remote places," Vo said. "But drones, like any other technology, can be an empowering technology."
Drones are used across the globe for a variety of applications, Vo said, such as useful applications like crop-dusting and all the way to the most sinister uses like dropping missiles onto human targets.
While he fears data collection from drones on the home front, Vo said his biggest concern is the FAA will overstep its boundaries when regulating drone use, which could affect the ability of private drone enthusiasts to use their unmanned aircrafts for research and recreation.
With the new regulations on the horizon, Vo is hopeful drone use can be regulated while at the same time being allowed to use them to benefit American citizens.
"The best way to use drones is to improve our lives," he said.

Participate in Summer Day Camp Activities and Add a Zing to Your Vacations
Summer day camps are a great way to invigorate oneself. With the horde of activities planned out, camping is a lot of fun. With the concept of summer day camps becoming very popular, many more activities have been added to their portfolio. Given below are some of the fun-filled summer day camp activities that often rewarded with a trophy to promote kid's participation.
Exploring caves: In this activity the campers can explore caves and learn about the cave environment. They learn how to move safely and to help other team mates get out safely from the cave. They are provided with protective equipment and clothes and the proper guidance of a trained instructor.
Canoeing: In this activity, the campers are taught how to paddle the canoe. First they are asked to practice handling a canoe on land. Once they are through with that, they are allowed in the water. Even in the water they practice first few rounds with the trainer and once they get the confidence to canoe on their own, they are allowed canoeing with a fellow camper.
Archery and Riflery: These are activities where campers learn archery in one half of the day and riflery in the other half. They are not allowed to use the weapons until they pass a safety test. Once this is done they start the actual practicing. Both these activities consist of multiple levels. Depending on their score in each level they advance to the next level. Their abilities to focus, concentrate and have self - control are considered. The professionals teaching these activities are trained in the procedures, safety rules, signals and commands and handling of the equipments.
Windsurfing: Kids will love this activity. Small sails and boats make windsurfing a lot of fun. The camp includes windsurfing skills, some safety instructions on how to handle the boat, some wind theory to make the sailing easy and experience -sharing with professionals and other groups. The safety of the kids and other campers is considered first and hence all the boats and sails are made with this in mind.
Apart from these there are many other summer day camps like photography camps, space camps, sea kayaking camps and even community service camps which have a range of activities. With an increasing demand for such camps, you will definitely find an activity to suit your age and interest.

Well, it's that time of year again, tax season and the annual battle with IRS is about to begin. And, if you're like most PE or VC firms, tax season means dreadful process of distributing K-1s to your LPs.
So, the Internal Revenue Service announced that the nation's tax season will begin Monday, January 23, 2017.
Therefore, the filing deadline to submit 2016 tax returns is April 18, 2017, rather than the traditional April 15 date.
Why is filing deadline moved to April 18, 2017?
In 2017, April 15 falls on a Saturday, and this would usually move the filing deadline to April 17. Yet, Emancipation Day — a legal holiday in the District of Columbia — is observed on that Monday. That pushes the nation's filing deadline to Tuesday, April 18, 2017. Under the tax law, legal holidays in the District of Columbia affect the filing deadline across the nation.
Do you want to simplify the tax season for your limited partners?
Make sure you are using an online portal to distribute K-1s and see that nothing falls through the cracks. And, don't forget to take advantage of every aspect of digital age, and streamline your K-1s in a paperless way.

First Point of Aries
The First Point of Aries, also known as the Cusp of Aries, is the location of the vernal equinox, used as a reference point in celestial coordinate systems; in diagrams using such coordinate systems, it is often indicated with the symbol ♈. Named for the constellation of Aries, it is one of the two points on the celestial sphere at which the celestial equator crosses the ecliptic, the other being the First Point of Libra, located exactly 180° from it. Due to precession of the equinoxes, currently, the position of the Sun on the March equinox is in Pisces, while that on the September equinox is in Virgo (as of J2000).
Along its yearly path through the zodiac, the Sun meets the celestial equator from south to north at the First Point of Aries, and from north to south at the First Point of Libra; the First Point of Aries is considered to be the celestial "prime meridian" from which right ascension is calculated.
At first glance any of the equinoxes or solstices might seem to be likely candidates for marking the starting point of the sun's migration across celestial sphere; the equinoxes are preferred as an equinox marks the point in time when the sun has neither northern nor southern declination but is crossing the celestial equator. Of the two possible equinoxes the ancient Greeks chose the March equinox as the starting point; this coincided with the festival of Hilaria, a time of optimism and beginnings where farmers began to sow or observed the first growth/blossoming of trees and summer crops.[1] The naming of Aries is late in the Babylonian zodiac where the equinox was in its earliest tradition marked as in the early Middle Bronze Age by actual coincidence with the Pleiades.[2] The time also corresponds to the time of castration of male calves, mules and donkeys, Sanguia on the vernal equinox and marked the start of spring proper.[3][4][5]
The First Point of Aries is so called because, when Hipparchus defined it in 130 BCE, it was located in the western extreme of the constellation of Aries, near its border with Pisces and the star γ Arietis. Due to the Sun's eastward movement across the sky throughout the year, this western end of Aries was the point at which the Sun entered the constellation, hence the name First Point of Aries.
Due to Earth's axial precession, this point gradually moves westwards at a rate of about one degree every 72 years; this means that, since the time of Hipparchus, it has shifted across the sky by about 30°, and is currently located within Pisces, near its border with Aquarius. Currently, the closest major star to the First Point of Aries is λ Piscium, located at ( 23h 42m 03s, 01° 46′ 48″).
The Sun now appears in Aries from late April through mid May, though the constellation is still associated with the beginning of the northern spring.[3][4][5]
The First Point of Aries is important to the fields of astronomy, nautical navigation and astrology. Navigational ephemeris tables record the geographic position of the First Point of Aries as the reference for position of navigational stars. Due to the slow precession of the equinoxes, the Zenith view (above a location) of constellations at a time of year from a given location have slowly walked West (by using solar epochs the drift is known); the tropical Zodiac is identically affected and no longer correspond with the constellations (the Cusp of Libra today is located within Virgo), and is the basis for the concept of astrological ages. In sidereal astrology, by contrast, the first point of Aries remains aligned with the Aries constellation.

Imagine paying large sums into an investment strategy and getting nil in return. Well, if your Super is invested in shares, that's exactly what's happening right now. Property investing has proved to be at a great advantage to investing in shares, which have made nil income during 2018; in fact, they've not been able to catch up since the 2008 GFC.
We believe the next GFC has already arrived which is why we at Safe Super Homes do not promote putting your money into the risky share market. That is, where your super funds currently are.
Hand selected real estate, on the other hand, has hardly been affected, and the Australian Government's immigration policy is the real reason why. We build our homes in the rapidly expanding south east of Melbourne for one simple reason: that's where people want to live. Property demographic experts say 130,000 houses will be needed in needed in area within the next 5 years to keep up with the demand of new migrants moving to the area, and we're glad to jump on board and build as many houses as you want to invest in. In fact, to kick start your property portfolio in the new year, our house and land packages are presently discounted by $30,000 to $50,000.
We take away any risk to the investor with a 10-year rental guarantee, and we certainly don't charge for it. Other mischievous organisations, like Defence Service Homes, over-charge for house costs so you end up paying for your rental guarantee. We hold the highest level of client satisfaction and ethical behaviour available in Australia because we are real people, working with real clients, looking to make better and more secure future for you.
Buy And Hold
Your objective in property investing is to buy and hold annually increasing assets. It seems an obvious thing to say, but if you take a look at your shares, they haven't been increasing annually.
It only costs you an average of $50 per week to own one of our brand new 4 bedroom homes (net after all costs – lender loan, insurance, rates and $1,000 total deposit), using your own home as collateral. Your investment is constantly making great returns – possibly the greatest in Australia.
This process can be a headache if you don't know what you're doing. You need to know what to buy, where to buy it and which target market is safe. It's important to look for properties with good long-term rental return and long capital growth. These are found in the outer rings of Melbourne due to budgetary constraints of usual wage earners. The bonus of these areas is that they are currently under-supplied which sees rental returns rising consistently due to demand.
Good tenants cut costs to investors, both in repair costs and in letting fees. The tenants we and our agents arrange for you stay 3 times the national tenancy average, most of them up to 4 years, and our homes are of such good quality that they pay a higher rent. We ensure the best families move into your investment property; and for families, the investment properties need to be in a school catchment area, with good transport and infrastructure developments, like the City of Casey and Gippsland.
Why is the Berwick area the best place to live and invest?
It's the mega billions of dollars recently spent by all tiers of governments on infrastructure here that gives this region the leading edge in property investing.
For example:
- The only new hospital built by Victorian Government during the last 30 years is in Berwick; the Casey Hospital. New consulting rooms, maternity facilities and cancer specialist centres make up a great part of the expansion to medical care in the area.
- Melbourne's only new tech school has been built in the area and is now a part of Chisolm TAFE, affording newcomers to the area the opportunity to develop skills for employment.
- Federation University campus extension has allowed the campus to become one of the leading business schools in Australia.
- Casey has the highest number of private and public schools per capita in the whole of Australia.
- Fountain Gate shopping centre, second only to Chadstone in size and variety, is a short 10-minute drive away.
- Due to the expansion in infrastructure, better employment opportunities are available.
Come and see our Display Home in Berwick – only open by appointment – and we will show you all the supporting evidence. You will be impressed.
Safe Super's discounted 4 bedroom house and land packages are the best investment available in Australia – the right product, right area, right price and right service.
