Rationalising Automobility in the Face of Climate Change
Laura Bang Lindegaard
2. Studies of governmentality
The present chapter comprises four sections. The first one concerns selected areas of Foucault's work, focusing on Foucault's work on the notion of governmentality. The remaining sections concern current studies of governmentality and depict a line of research which is of particular relevance in this context. The first, and lengthiest of these sections, concerns Rose's work on the powers of freedom. This is no coincidence but should reflect the fact that Rose's work represents the backbone of my approach to governmentality. By focusing on how recent forms of governing are connected to a particular way of utilising freedom as being itself a set of powers, Rose founds the understanding that runs through this book, namely that current forms of governing are co-constituted by certain mentalities or rationalities of power that are continuously negotiated in discursive interaction. However, whereas Rose represents the backdrop of the approach, I have found it useful to broaden the scope and draw on the work of other scholars to clarify some of Rose's points which are of specific relevance to my project. Hence, in the third section I draw on Dean in the aim to connect more clearly the notions of morality, mentalities of government and regimes of practices. Specifically, Dean explicates what Rose touches upon, namely that the specific notion of government implies that rationality is closely related to morality because government becomes a matter of rational accountability of practices concerned with 'conducting the conduct' of others and practices concerned with conducting one's...

Mr. Muhammad Ali Siddiqui, Advocate for Petitioners.
Mr. M.R. Fakhar Baloch, Advocate for Respondent 2.
Mr. Muhammad Abdul Wadood, D.P.G. for State.
Date of hearing: 11.12.2014.
With the background that Kausar Parveen (Petitioner No. 1) was in his wedlock, Muhammad Iqbal(Respondent No. 2) got registered a criminal case by means of FIR No. 400, dated 20.09.2014, under Sections 375-iv, 376, 380, 457, 493-A and 496-B, PPC, at Police Station, City Jalalpur Pir Wala, District Multan, with the allegation that Petitioner No. 1, being his legally wedded wife, entered into a marriage with one Samar Khan (Petitioner No. 2), which is a criminal offence. Theft of gold ornaments and some cash amount was also alleged in the FIR.
2. The petitioners, through the present Constitutional petition, seek quashment of said FIR.
3. According to the facts relevant for the purposes of the present petition, Kausar Parveen(Petitioner No. 1) filed a suit for dissolution of her marriage before a learned Judge Family Court on 09.07.2013, which was decreed in ex-parte proceedings on 06.09.2013. On very next day i.e. 07.09.2013, the petitioners entered into marriage. Earlier to the suit filed on 09.07.2013, Petitioner No. 1 preferred a suit for jactitation of her marriage on 23.05.2013 which was withdrawn on 04.07.2013.
4. Respondent No. 2 has placed on record some additional documents and with the help of the same attempted to create impression that in the said suit for dissolution of marriage, Petitioner No. 1 subsequently appeared before the learned Judge Family Court and consented to recall the order dated 04.07.2013, by accepting the application moved by Respondent No. 2, for recalling the said order. In order to properly appreciate the contention for Respondent No. 2, the additional documents have been examined carefully. The same includes an undated application carrying non-judicial stamp, showing the same as purchased on 21.10.2013, stated to have been moved before the learned Judge Family Court, who passed a decree for dissolution of marriage. Not only that the said application was undated, but the statement of Petitioner No. 1, showing to have been recorded in pursuance to such application is again an undated document, which follows with no formal order of the learned Judge, showing final disposal of such application. The statement stated to have been made by Petitioner No. 1 again creates no sense, which is reproduced herein below:
بیان ازان کوثر پروین دختر محمد عاشق زوجہ اقبال حسین بموجودگی و شناخت کونسل مسئول علیہا ﴿بر حلف﴾۔
بیان کیا کہ درخواست منسوخی ڈگری بر دعوی کوثر پروین بنام اقبال حسین ڈگری شدہ مورخہ 6.9.2013 منظور کیے جانے اور ڈگری تنسیخ نکاح 6.9.2013 منظور کیے جانے پر اعتراض نہ ہے۔ میں نے بیان مذکورہ بالا اپنی آزاد مرضی سے سوچ سمجھ کر بلاجبرو کراہ دیا ہے۔
سن کر درست تسلیم کیا۔
As such, the proceedings, shown to have been carried out on the basis of such application and the recording of the statement of Kausar Parveen (Petitioner No. 1), are not of any significance and liable to be ignored from consideration.
5. As discussed hereinabove, the record does not show as to on which date such statement was recorded and also the fact, which has been noted earlier is to be reiterated here that the said statement never followed with any formal order of the learned Judge before whom Petitioner No. 1, stated to have made such statement.
6. The crucial question for consideration in this matter is as to whether second marriage of the petitioners would be termed as "valid", "void" or "irregular".
7. Although Mahomedan Law by D.F. Mullah is not a codified law, but to understand different problems, being faced by the Muslims in their personal life, the same is being followed by the Courts of our Country. Para-257 of such calculation viz. Mahomedan Law provides that a marriage with a woman before completion of her Iddat is irregular and not void. Iddat is described as the period during which it is incumbent upon a woman, whose marriage has been dissolved by divorce or death to remain in seclusion, and to abstain from marrying another husband. The abstinence is imposed to ascertain whether she is pregnant by the husband, so as to avoid confusion of the parentage. In case the marriage is dissolved by death, the wife is bound to observe the Iddat whether the marriage was consummated or not, and in case of dissolution of marriage by divorce, the wife is bound to observe the Iddat only if the marriage was consummated. If there was no consummation, there is no Iddat, and she is free to marry immediately.
8. Before going further, it would be pertinent to mention here that, in the present case, at least since 23.05.2013, the date of filing of the first suit for dissolution of marriage by Petitioner No. 1, she at least had no matrimonial contact with Respondent No. 2 and, as such, when on 07.09.2013, the petitioners entered into a marriage, the period of Iddat, if any, to be observed stood already expired in favour of Petitioner No. 1 in obvious absence of any matrimonial link of Petitioner No. 1 with Respondent No. 2.
Such question has been considered by our superior Courts, which is being discussed, as follows:
(a) In `Muhammad Riaz and another versus The State (2011 SD 581), our
Federal Shariat Court, has held:
"that period of Iddat is only a temporary impediment to remarriage by husband. It is a specific period oriented. It is a relative or temporary disability. Under Sunni Law, an unlawful conjunction by way of marriage during Iddat period renders the marriage irregular and not void. An irregular marriage automatically becomes regular the moment the bottleneck is removed i.e Iddat period expires";
(b) In 'Shoukat Ali and another versus The State' (2004 SD 190), the view taken in Para-257 of Mahomedan Law has been confirmed declaring the marriage of a woman before completion of her Iddat as irregular and not void by holding as under:--
"that marriage entered into by divorced wife before completion of Iddat period would be irregular marriage and not void and that an irregular marriage cannot be treated as void marriage.
Union of husband and wife in irregular marriage cannot be regarded as un-Islamic and against Shariah".
The learned counsel for the petitioners, with reference to the above-noted judgments, has prayed for the quashment of FIR.
9. The petition has been opposed vehemently and the learned counsel for Respondent No. 2 with the help of case-law reported as Syed Ali Nawaz Gardezi versus Lt.-Col. Muhammad Yusuf (PLD 1963 Supreme Court 51), Muhammad Sarwar and another versus The State (PLD 1988 Federal Shariat Court 42) and Mst. Kundan Mai versus The State (PLD 1988 Federal Shariat Court 89) has emphasized the requirement of notice of divorce within the meaning of Section 7 of Muslim Family Laws, Ordinance, 1961, in absence of which in view of the learned counsel for Respondent No. 2, Talaq would not be considered as effective.
10. The point of issuance of notice and effect thereof under Section 7 of Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, has already been dealt with by the Courts of our Country, and by now, it is a settled position in this regard that on the validity of divorce, the absence of such notice would have no bearing.
11. The learned Deputy Prosecutor-General, for the State, on his turn, has supported the petition on the basis of the contention that, presently offence under Section 10(2) of the Offence of Zina(Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, is no more an effective law, whereas, by elaborating the eventualities necessarily to be in existence in order to prove the commission of the offence of rape within the meaning of Section 375, PPC, which provides five eventualities i.e.,
(i) the commission of rape against the will of the woman,
(ii) without her consent,
(iii) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt,
(iv) with her consent when the man knows that he is not her husband, and that her consent is given because she believes that he is another man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married or
(v) with or without her consent, when she is under sixteen years of age.
As such, in view of the learned Deputy Prosecutor-General, when the rape, as has been defined in the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860, is not made out, that cannot be punished under Section 376, PPC. Similarly, the learned Deputy Prosecutor-General has further argued that, no offence under Section 493-A, PPC again is not made out, which deals with the situation, where every man who deceitfully caused any woman, who is not lawfully married to him to believe that she is lawfully married to him and to cohabit with him in that belief.
12. As to the criminality alleged regarding fornication under Section 496-B, PPC, the learned Deputy Prosecutor-General is of the view that; firstly, the offence of fornication also is not made out and; secondly, the procedure provided in Section 203-C, Cr.P.C., has not been followed, which provides that no Court shall take cognizance of offence under Section 496-B, PPC, except on a complaint lodged in a Court of competent jurisdiction. According to the learned Deputy Prosecutor-General and rightly so the offence under Section 496-B, PPC can only be brought into the notice of a Court by means of a complaint.
13. What has been emerged from the above discussion is that the marriage of the petitioners, even if was considered as "irregular marriage" on 07.09.2013, the same has attained the status of "regular marriage" by efflux of time from the point, when Iddat period was supposed to have been expired with reference to the earlier marriage of Petitioner No. 1 with Respondent No. 2 and, as such, in complete agreement of the contentions raised by the learned Deputy Prosecutor-General, who has rendered valuable assistance to the Court, without adopting the role of a traditional Prosecutor, I am of the view that the criminal case registered through FIR No. 400 of 2014 has entirely been registered on wrong premises and no criminality is established even prima-facie connecting the petitioners with the alleged crime. If the FIR is permitted to remain in the field, it would not only a wastage of precious public time of the Courts, but also the wastage of the precious time of the investigating agency by overburdening the same, as would result in causing unjustified interference in the matrimonial life of the petitioners on the strength of a valid marriage. It will be not beneficial either for Respondent No. 2 or the prosecuting agency to allow further prosecution of said registered criminal case. No further proceedings on the basis of such FIR are allowed to be carried out by any forum or agency.
14. Resultantly, this Constitutional petition is allowed and FIR No. 400, dated 20.09.2014, under sections, 375-iv, 376, 380, 457, 493-A PPC, registered at Police Station, City Jalalpur Pir Wala District Multan, is hereby quashed.
(R.A.) Petition allowed

Summer is here in full swing with beautiful days, lovely sunshine and ideal weather to fully enjoy life outside, do some travelling and visiting new places. I hope that you are making the most of all your opportunities to enjoy this great gift from God.
As much as many of our members are travelling, we also are on the receiving end of people visiting our city. It's wonderful to meet people at church who either just arrived or who are simply passing through. I am especially encouraged by the fact that people make time to find a place of worship when they are travelling, visiting or arrive to stay for a while. As people "stop by" it gives us an opportunity to reach out to them with God's love. It's great to see our members engage with visitors – something I want to encourage us to continue to do. In this way we not only share the love of Christ with them, but also provide visitors and newcomers with the "family-away-from-home", so much needed when we are away from our home countries. Our church has a reputation of being warm and friendly. Let's keep it that way!
During the month of August many new people will arrive in Bratislava in preparation for the new school year or to come to work on a contract basis. Let us keep our eyes and ears open to see those who are new, and who are open to be invited to come to church. If you have a new colleague or neighbour, bear in mind that they are in need of friendship and may be very open to discuss issues of faith with you. We are also planning to have an event for newcomers early in September to which you can invite them to come.
As you continue to enjoy the summer weather, please remember what we learned from Jesus about the Christian Way in the Sermon on the Mount. May He help us to live in such a way that our lives will attract others to Him.
With much love and prayer for you
Gerhard & Joan

With institutional finances getting prepared to heave into the market and save the fading digital asset class of crypto, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission will clearly be looking for accountability and a "manipulation free sphere", which will level the ground for all investors.
The chairman of the SEC, Jay Clayton has spoken about the lack of surveillance and pure and simple fraud at the CoinDesk Consensus Invest Conference as well as why he isn't prepared for the Bitcoin ETF to happen:
"It's an issue (manipulation) that needs to be addressed before I would be comfortable. We've seen some thefts around digital assets that make you scratch your head. We care that the assets underlying that ETF has good custody and that they're not going to disappear."
Earlier this week, the SEC published a solicitation notice that aimed to encourage cable companies to provide viewable data of the most common blockchains in a way that "there is no loss in data completeness and accuracy due to the data transformation tools and processes applied."
The SEC says potential businesses aims to:
"Provide blockchain data to support the SEC's efforts to monitor risk, improve compliance, and inform Commission policy with respect to digital assets. The SEC is seeking information for potential sources to support the goal of acquiring data for the most widely used blockchain ledgers, including the universe of available information and transaction details."
This can be seen as going in the right direction as far as the Bitcoin ETF is concerned, the involvement of institutional grade money will involve a compromise. "These compromises could even go against the tenets of blockchain—that of privacy and freedom." At one point, there was a lot of people who lost their hard earned money – especially during the ICO craze of 2017 and early 2018 – which forced regulators to "flex their muscles" and punish founders as they set out new guidelines on which ICO projects should be classed as securities and which are not.
By pure coincidence, the solicitation notice came at a time when the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) of the SEC made cryptocurrencies top of their list for things to look into this year. The OCIE published a report saying that they will continue with their mandate, "complementing and advising the SEC in their effort to protect the American people."
Seeing that the quick rise of cryptocurrencies is a potential risk to retail investors, they state that they will keep on overseeing the sale, trading and management of virtual assets, such as Bitcoin, "and where the products are securities, examine for regulatory compliance."

His mother and father were killed in the wreck, and Caleb suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI. Nurses were unable to insert an IV into his tiny, collapsed veins to give him the medicine he needed to be tubed for a ventilator, but one nurse performed a procedure that was virtually unknown at the time and gave it directly into the bone marrow in his ankle. Fast forward 17 years and Caleb is living a happy full life and wanted to find the nurse who saved his life to say thank you. Sadly, he found out last month that she passed away just three years after saving his life. These days, Caleb strives to raise TBI awareness by running 5k's, making videos and "other cool stuff."

On the heels of the 2012 election, including the defeat of two amendments to the Minnesota Constitution and a new majority in both chambers of the Legislature, organizers and policy advocates were ready for a busy legislative session in 2013. Communities of color and organizations working for racial justice were part of shifting the power structure that created this opportunity and were ready to move forward with significant policy changes. Racial justice leaders had faced several years of opposition – OAP's Legislative Report Card on Racial Equity had given the Legislature an F in 2012 and a D in 2011.

Tax Justice Can Lead to Racial and Economic Justice
Discussions about tax policy and reform are heating up at the Minnesota Capitol, and it is important for all of us to remember that tax policy has a lot to do with racial and economic justice. As income inequality continues to grow in Minnesota, our system of taxation can either contribute to or reduce that inequality. We know that raising revenue through taxes is necessary to fund investments that help build more equitable communities – if policy leaders pay attention to equity in budget priorities. The same holds true for tax policy. Raising revenue equitably can help reduce disparities and form the foundation for other equitable practices.
By connecting the dots between some key facts, it is clear that fair tax policy is also a matter of racial justice.
1. Poverty and race intersect.
About 12% of Minnesotans live in poverty. Communities of color experience poverty at higher rates than white Minnesotans, with poverty at
41% for American Indians,
17% for Asian Americans,
37% for African Americans,
25% for Latinos,
and 9% for whites.
Susan Brower, State Demographer
2. Income growth is concentrated among the wealthiest Minnesotans.
"Household income has declined over the past decade. Poverty has increased. The wage distribution has widened. Low-income workers' wages have changed little in past decades; the highest-income wages have increased."
Susan Brower, State Demographer
Income inequality has grown in Minnesota, making the lack of equity in our tax code even worse. High-income Minnesotans pay a significant amount of all taxes paid in the state, but they pay below their proportionate share. For example, the 1% of Minnesotans with the highest incomes had 16% of all income in the state, but only paid 13.4% of all state and local taxes.
3. Minnesota's tax system asks low- and middle-income Minnesotans to pay more than their fair share.
All Minnesotans support public services through the taxes they pay. However, looking at all state and local taxes, Minnesota's tax system is regressive, meaning that low- and middle-income Minnesotans pay a higher share of their incomes in taxes than high-income Minnesotans. And Minnesota's tax system has become more regressive over time, reflecting rising income inequality but also tax and budget choices, such as increased reliance on local property taxes.
"Minnesota's estate tax and individual income tax are the state's only progressive taxes – meaning that the higher one's income, the larger the share of income paid for the tax. All other taxes that Minnesotans pay are regressive, where low- and middle-income households pay a higher share of their income in those taxes."
Considering state and local taxes, the Minnesotans with the lowest incomes contribute the highest share of their incomes to taxes. Households with incomes over $446,961 a year pay 9.6% of their incomes in total state and local taxes, whereas middle-income households pay 12.1%, and low-income households pay 14%.
Tax Policies Can Hurt or Help
Given the facts described above, it's clear that economic and racial disparities are reflected in the tax code. Of course our system of taxation cannot on its own eliminate disparities by race and income. But attention to these disparities in our policy choices can ensure that our taxes do not exacerbate economic and racial disparities.
Key proposals to further tax fairness and thus racial justice include:
Raise the income tax rate on highest-income households.
Doing so will make the system more fair, while also bringing in much needed revenue for investments in quality schools, affordable college and strong communities. Tax fairness has declined in Minnesota since 1990, as income inequality has grown.
Improve the Renters' Credit to offset the regressive impact of property taxes.
People of color in Minnesota are more likely than white Minnesotans to rent their homes. While 81.4% of white Minnesotans own their homes, only 50.2% of Hispanic Minnesotans and 24.8% of Black Minnesotans are homeowners. Minnesotans pay property taxes whether they own or rent their homes, with renters contributing through their monthly rent payments. The Renters' Credit helps ensure that low- and moderate-income renters don't pay too much of their incomes in property taxes.
Update the Working Family Credit.
Last year the federal Earned Income Tax Credit lifted 6.6 million people, including 3.3 million children, out of poverty. Policymakers should update the Minnesota Working Family Credit – our state's version of the federal EITC – to reflect recent federal changes benefitting married couples as another important step to make our tax system less regressive.
"When low-income families receive their refund check, they purchase groceries, child care, school supplies, and more, increasing demand for the goods and services of local businesses, which ultimately benefits the economy as a whole." Center for American Progress

Two period houses kick-off early start to auction season
The auction season kicks off early this year with Knight Frank setting the pace with the auction of a Drogheda manor house on January 31 followed by a Mayo country house on February 14.
Then Allsop Space will host the first bumper auction in Dublin on March 1 and Real Estate Alliance will follow the week after with its first auction of the year in the O'Callaghan Alexander Hotel, Dublin, on Tuesday March 5.
Knight Frank's first auction is of Dowth Hall, Drogheda, Co Meath, which has a €3.75m guide price. The 420-acre property will be offered in three lots, the smallest of which is 32 acres. The residence is being offered with 388 acres along with four estate lodges and two farmyards.
The main house features some fine plasterwork and its accommodation includes six bedrooms and four reception rooms – but it needs upgrading.
Two weeks later, on February 14, Knight Frank will auction Knockglass House, Crossmolina, Co Mayo, for which the guide price is now €340,000 – down from €475,000.
Up to recent times it was the home to the last four bishops of Tuam, Killala and Achonry and comes with 52 acres. The house itself extends to 500.7 sqm and includes six decent-sized bedrooms as well as four reception rooms.
Although dating from the 1700s, it has benefited from improvements in recent times and all windows were repaired two years ago. To the rear of the main house, an enclosed courtyard comes with a three-bed cottage as well as a number of stores, while the main yard comes with four coach houses and seven stables.
A walled garden extends to three acres and benefits from an array of fruit plants. The remainder of the lands include 22 acres of grazing as well as mature woodland.
Joint agents on Knockglass House are Knight Frank, 01 6623255; and Tuohy O'Toole, 098 28000.

Running! I'm in the final stretch of the #rwrunstreak summer challenge and to be honest it's starting to take it's toll! Between the heat and running every.single.day I'm tired! But almost as if on cue, I received three of the best comments on Instagram (follow me @darci_spear) last night!
How could I say no, right?! This is why blogging and Instagram are SO great! To know I've inspired someone...just drives me more and motivates me! It's win-win! So let me introduce you to The 60/60 Running Challenge! Email me at email@example.com if you want to join in!
Hot summer evenings with great Friends and Neighbors! Jack had his last tee-ball game last night; I unfortunately missed it because Norah wasn't feeling so hot, but I was given a full report - he did great! After the game our neighbors right behind us had a pizza party for the all the kids! We are so lucky to live where we do! Right behind us is a boy and girl who are just the same age as Jack and Norah, then right beside us there are 2 boys that Jack is in between and then a baby girl that will make an awesome playmate for Norah in another year! There are literally kids everywhere, it's perfect!
Starting to accept that the number on the scale is just that...a Number...nothing more, nothing less! The picture below really drove that home for me; all 6 women weigh 154 pounds, the picture shows how we all carry weight differently and that striving to be a certain number doesn't always represent a healthy lifestyle. Amen!
I'm loving how in the spirit Bean has been about the 4th of July! This is what she wore to daycare this morning!
Holy Smokes! I am going to die a very happy lady, as long as I make it to 8-1-14! Holla! Christian Grey on the Big Screen! I absolutely cannot wait!
Matt Bomer is my absolute pick to play Christian, hands down! If anyone other than Alexis Bledel gets the part of Anastasia I will be simply devastated! These two are the PERFECT Christian and Ana!
Who do you want to play Christian and Ana? Or do you agree with my assessment?
Have a great weekend, y'all!xoxo

"Catch the spirit" 82 Years, on and off the slopes
The Pittsburgh Ski Club was founded on the evening of December 10, 1937, by three avid skiers — Bill Albert, Al Black, and Lars Eckwurtzel — as a non–profit organization to encourage skiing through instruction, ski trips, and racing programs. During the first year, the Club went from a dozen members to nearly two hundred, and has maintained a membership of between 400 and 1800 members during the last 30 years. The PSC membership runs from June 1 of the current year through May 31 of the next year.
Today, the PSC offers year-round activities on and off the slopes for its members and guests. The emphasis is not only on skiing/snowboarding but on a variety of sporting activities (biking, golfing, volleyball) and travel and social events.
For those interested in skiing or snowboarding, though, PSC IS THE CLUB FOR YOU. Affordable weekend and week-long ski trips are offered to members as well as local skiing/snowboarding and aprés–ski activities. Also, as a PSC member, you can also take advantage of ski or snowboard lessons or join the PSC Race Team for gate training, coaching, and races.
The Club is run entirely by member volunteers who organize and run the events and trips. We have members of all ages and our frequent events are as varied as our interests. Our wide range of activities guarantees that there is literally something in this Club for everyone. New and innovative ideas keep the Club moving forward while the friendliness of PSCers and the fun–loving–ever–so–young spirit continues to attract new members and keep many renewing members. These volunteers and the other PSC members are the "SPIRIT" of the Club.
The Pittsburgh Ski Club is a proud member of the Western Pennsylvania Ski Council and continues its commitment to skiing through its support and involvement with the other 16 ski clubs making up the WPSC.

As our very own master poet and Past President wrote:
I made a run and loved it so..
I took a friend so he would know.
"Two is company" and it's true on skis
but the fun just grows when twos are threes
We caught a chair for one more,
looked around and we were four
And now when it snows and I ski
it's the Pittsburgh Ski Club and me.

Overall, I'm generally liking it.
But is it too much to ask for a show about werewolves with realistic looking wolves?
I am however upset at the decision to to have Antonio as a victim instead of Logan... I sort of feel like the decision was made b/c Logan is younger, more attractive, and they've set up some potential future plot involving him. Antonio is a rather established character who plays a pretty important part in the books down the road. On the bright side, it means that they decided not to sacrifice the one person of color on the show.
Giving more development to the various mutts I think was a good idea, makes it more complex.

Parchment and Old Lace
A Scrapbook Mystery
By Laura Childs
Berkley Prime Crime, October 6, 2015
Hardcover, 323 pages
In Lara Child's "Parchment and Old Lace" a murderer stops a wedding before a couple can even walk to the altar.
What began as a romantic dinner for two, for Detective Edgar Babcock and Carmela Bertrand ends up with a serving of death for dessert. A stroll through the garden district after dinner toward the detective's car leads them to someone screaming on the grounds of Lafayette Cemetery. Not far from a stone angel, Carmela learns who did the screaming and that she will never scream again. A bride-to-be, that Carmela knows, appears to have been strangled by lace. The question is why would anyone want to kill a bride-to-be? Why would she leave her cake testing and wander into a cemetery? Did she have have second thoughts about getting married? Was she meeting someone at the cemetery? Did someone want her out of the way so they could have the groom?
The sister of the recently deceased bride-to-be asks Carmela to help her learn the truth about who killed her sister and why. Carmela knows her boyfriend doesn't want her to investigate this murder or any other murder. He wants her out of danger's way and in his arms, not a coffin, but she still agrees to do a little digging.
The list of suspects begins with the wedding party. There's the groom who seems terribly upset, but is always accompanied by another woman, the future-mother-in-law who doesn't think the bride is good enough for her son, the wedding planner who just might have made a few plans of her own, and you even consider the best man. Makes you think twice about who to have in the wedding party.
This one will catch you off guard. I loved it, in fact, I'm finding that I love all of Laura Child's books. The characters and storyline always keep my interest and make me want to find out who did the bad deed. Hardest part is reading the last page.

* Benchmark iron ore at 2-week high, may peak soon
* Chinese mills ore restocking seen limited (Updates rebar price)
By Manolo Serapio Jr
SINGAPORE, June 18 (Reuters) - Spot iron ore prices steadied on Monday, but may struggle this week to sustain recent gains with sluggish steel demand in top consumer China likely to limit appetite for the raw material, traders said.
Price offers for imported iron ore cargoes in China were unchanged after mostly rising last week, based on data from industry consultancy Umetal.
"We could see small gains in physical iron ore prices due to some limited restocking taking place," said a Hong Kong-based iron ore trader.
Some smaller Chinese steel mills have low stocks of iron ore after shortening their inventory to 20 days from 30 days, creating some demand for spot material, he said.
"But the upside is limited because we do not see huge demand going forward," he said.
Benchmark iron ore with 62 percent iron content .IO62-CNI=SI rose 0.2 percent to $135 a tonne on Friday, according to Steel Index, a level last seen on June 1.
Friday marked iron ore's sixth straight daily rise, its longest winning streak since late February.
A fall in spot iron ore prices to two-week lows in early June lured buyers back into the market as Chinese steel mills replenished stocks.
But unless steel prices rebound, the iron ore rally may soon fizzle out, as mills finish restocking and traders run out of buyers willing to take cargoes at current prices.
"Caution is building up in the market. We haven't really seen any big moves in steel prices," said an iron ore trader in Shanghai.
The most-traded rebar contract for October delivery on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed up 0.2 percent at 4,129 yuan ($650) a tonne.
Still, miners continue to sell cargoes on the spot market. Top iron ore exporter Vale is offering 98,000 tonnes of 62.8 percent grade Brazilian iron ore at a tender closing later on Monday, traders said. ($1 = 6.3651 Chinese yuan) (Reporting by Manolo Serapio Jr.; Editing by Daniel Magnowski)

Book Trailer Premiere: Mary Had a Little Lab by Sue Fliess; illustrated by Petros Bouloubasis
Sue: I'm a huge movie trailer fan...For better or worse, I will often base my decision to see a movie on the trailer. Sometimes you can tell when the movie has used all its good jokes in the trailer, or if they don't show you much at all, they are likely trying too hard to sell it. So I think it's important in a book trailer to be honest—to show readers what they'll be getting when they buy my book. I try to leave just enough suspense to not give away the ending, but still let the audience get a true glimpse of what they are going to experience with the book. Also, they are fun to make and it's a great marketing tool!
What's a Sheepinator?
Sue: The Sheepinator is Mary's "best invention ever!" Mary is a little bit lonely, as she spends most of her time in her backyard lab rather than out socializing with other kids, so she decides that having a pet will ease her loneliness. But since she's a scientist and inventor, she decides she'd rather make one than buy one. From the book's title and the machine name Sheepinator, you can probably guess what kind of pet she creates.
Petros Bouloubasis' illustrations are lovely. What's your favorite spread or scene?
Sue: Do I have to choose just one? I have at least six favorites!
Yes, sorry!
Sue: Some would cause spoilers to describe, so I'll talk about the spread where she finishes the Sheepinator:
Yes, sorry!
Sue: Some would cause spoilers to describe, so I'll talk about the spread where she finishes the Sheepinator:
"The new machine is finished!
My best invention ever!"
Then Mary turned the power on
And gently pulled the lever.
I love this because it shows her tinkering with the machine, putting the last touches on, the other kids looking in the window, curious as to what she's doing. Then we see Mary propped up against the machine pulling the lever with all her might, sweat flying from her brow, grimacing, which proves a funny paradox to the text. I also love that the machine looks pieced together, and is balanced on a random table leg, a stack of books, and other household items. Petros's illustrations are so clever...like Mary!
Please share three adjectives that best describe Mary.
Sue: Smart. Creative. Shy.
Please finish these sentence starters:
On March 1, 2018, Mary Had a Little Lab can be yours! It's my first STEM-related book, mixing science, chemistry, inventing, humor, friendship and the idea of being yourself. I'm super excited to share it! The book also shows that trial and error is a-okay. So many kids now are terrified to fail. Did you know that Thomas Edison apparently made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb? But he didn't call them failures, he said "I didn't fail. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." I love that. To piggyback that thought, this book took many drafts to get right!
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me if I have a pet. I do! Thanks for asking. I have an English Labrador Retriever named Charlie. In fact, this book title came to me in a dream, and I'm pretty sure in my dream, I was referring to a dog. But when I realized lab could be laboratory, the story took off. That said, Charlie is not nearly as helpful as Mary's sheep. Mary's sheep assists with chores like carrying the groceries and buffing the floors, while Charlie's biggest accomplishment each day is snuggling all of us, finding the best spot on the couch for a nap, or the best stick to carry on our walks. But that's okay, we adore him, and he, like Mary's sheep, helps me make friends wherever I go.
Look for Mary Had a Little Lab on March 1, 2018.

Last Friday, as required under The Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012 (P. L. 112–155), the Obama Administration released a report detailing the automatic cuts scheduled to take effect in January, unless Congress can pass an alternative deficit reduction plan before then. The report outlines the breakdown of exempt and non-exempt federal accounts, an estimate of the funding reductions that would be required across non-exempt accounts, an explanation of the calculations in the report, and additional information on the potential implementation of the sequestration. Since the full Congress has yet to pass any FY 2013 appropriation bills, the calculations and estimates provided in the report are based on assumptions that a continuing resolution for FY 2013 would be approved at the same funding levels as in FY 2012. Of course, any appropriations legislation enacted for the FY 2013 will change the estimates provided in this report.
The Administration acknowledges that sequestration is not the likely path forward to achieve the goal of deficit reduction and urges Congress to seek a more balanced deficit reduction plan through legislation that would replace the arbitrary, across-the-board reductions laid out in this report. CWLA has created a sequestration chart with preliminary estimates of cuts to selected programs serving vulnerable children and families.

Q: We have learned that our landlord is in foreclosure, but we don't know how quickly the bank will move. Meanwhile, she expects us to pay rent, but we seriously doubt that we'll ever see our security deposit. I asked if we could apply the deposit to the next month's rent, and of course she refused and told us she'd terminate the lease if we tried that. Any suggestions? –Albie A.
A: You aren't alone in facing the dismal prospect of paying rent to a landlord who is so short on funds that she can't make her mortgage payments. You are also not to be faulted for fearing that your deposit, if it hasn't been used up already, will not be returned to you.
When property changes hands, owners are legally required to either return the deposit or transfer it to the new owner, and this rule applies whether the new owner is a foreclosing bank or someone who buys the house in a regular sale. But in foreclosure situations, the defaulting owner seldom returns the deposit or gives it to the bank.
In most states, the new owner in this situation is held responsible as a matter of law for returning the deposit. This is only fair, as the bank had the opportunity to require the former owner to transfer the money, but banks have not been known for following through with these details. And many tenants, caught in foreclosed rentals that have deteriorated, are so demoralized and intimidated that they move on and fail to press the issue.

"Now is the perfect time to start a new business" I'm seeing this a lot nowadays, as we
experience the worst financial crisis since The Great Depression (you see that comment a lot, too—the truth is that much of the financial turmoil of the past 75 years hit us deeper and more broadly cut a swathe through the general economy, the actual impact on Gross National Product is tiny compared to the 1930s). But I think it is a useful mantra or affirmation to report, and it does have some basic truth in it. Forbes magazine, which is not known for flamboyance in its fiscal and business reporting says one good reason a recession is a good time for entrepreneurs is:
"Costs are low on everything from supplies to labor, and digital technologies make it easier than ever to work from home."
This is certainly true in the arena of business opportunities. But it is also a time for more due diligence as a lot of fly-by-night companies emerge trading on desperation, sowing the seeds of false hopes and unrealistic expectations.
For myself, I believe it is a great opportunity to explore new ventures, but a time when prosperity consciousness is especially valuable. In my book, MONEYLOVE, I wrote, "Every time you are broke, you are getting a priceless opportunity to use your creative imagination." This is not just one of those statements designed to make you feel better when everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Difficult times do produce reassessment, a looking at where you've been, where you are, and where you might want to be going next.
It is a lot more difficult to justify being in a job or career you are not enjoying when times are tough. A healthy self-statement during today's financial crisis might be, "If I'm not making much money anyway, I may as well explore some other options, maybe even have some fun doing something I love doing."
Despite all the books and seminars on the subject, I think PASSION is still the most overlooked and underrated quality in
financial success.
One of the main reasons I got involved in my current activities promoting and marketing healthy dark chocolate, and writing a book about it, is it is easy for me to get passionate about the subject. I was passionate about dark chocolate before—I will always be passionate about dark chocolate, no matter how this specific business works out. What are you passionate about and how can you get involved with it in a way that you will get paid for your involvement? Here's where that creative imagination comes in.
Maybe you too are crazy about dark chocolate (in which case, get in touch with me immediately), or maybe it's baseball cards, or fine wines, or old bottles, or doing research on the Internet, or motorcycles, or discovering new sexual techniques from ancient writings, or inventing something, or helping people cope with some major illness, or feeding the hungry, or improving the environment, or stand-up comedy, or performing the magic act you gave up at the age of fifteen, or ballroom dancing, or finding a way to get authentic Philly cheesesteaks to the West Coast---you could probably make an even better list with a hundred things someone could get passionate about. This simple process can change your life forever! It's all about passion, what rings your bells and lights your candles.
And here's perhaps the most important thing I can share with you after all my years of teaching and talking and writing about success. We all have those episodes when we're turned on, excited, swept away by something we see, hear, or experience. Well, my friend, those moments are not merely meant to be enjoyed in the moment. Those are signals from the universe (or God, if you prefer) that here is something you could be doing instead of what you're now doing, here is something that could bring more passion, and thus more profit and satisfaction into your life.
Pay attention to passion, and understand that the more passion you are feeling about what you are doing, the more people you will passionately attract to participate in and partake of what you are offering.

love dark chocolate and aren't turned off by the idea of having fun making money.

Telecommunications company secures $169M Networx Universal award
Verizon Business will help the Health and Human Services Department implement the new health care reform law by providing a variety of IT services under a new $169 million Networx Universal contract.
Verizon Business will manage and secure the department's IP and data networks, which provide an essential and reliable platform for day-to-day operations, whether it's processing Medicare claims or providing health care on tribal lands via telemedicine, the telecommunications company said in a statement today.
The telecommunications company also will provide an array of security capabilities, including managed firewalls and intrusion detection, as well as a virtual private network that enables HHS employees to gain remote access securely to information and to collaborate more effectively via voice over IP, Web and videoconferencing.
Verizon Business, a unit of Verizon Communications Inc., had been providing telecommunications services under GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service 2001 contract, the predecessor to the Networx program.
Verizon Communications, of New York, ranks No. 19 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

In respect to Employer mandates, it appears from www.BenefitsManager.net and www.AHealthInsuranceQuote.com analysis that employers nationwide will be assessed a $2,000 penalty for every employee not offered group health insurance or commonly referred to employer sponsored health insurance. Does this include part time employees that traditionally didn't qualify or buy health insurance in the first place because of the cost vrs. Hours worked? How in the world is an employer going to absorb this cost? So if an employee doesn't want to participate in paying their share, the employer is penalized $2,000?

The New York Times reported that last Tuesday the House of Representatives approved a ban on abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy. Thus fetuses are human after 22 weeks. The bill was passed in a 228-to-196 vote, split along party lines. The Times stated that the ban was based on the "medically disputed theory" that fetuses can experience pain at that time.
Whether or not the theory is disputed is itself disputable. There is much anatomical, behavioral and physiological evidence to support the assertion that a fetus growing in the womb is acutely sensitive to pain 20 weeks after conception. By that time, the unborn child reacts to stimuli in ways similar to those demonstrated by an adult—by recoiling, for example. See "Doctors on Fetal Pain" at http://www.doctorsonfetalpain.co. Some scientific studies of fetuses in the womb put the capacity to experience pain at 26 weeks. Many scientists maintain that there is insufficient data to draw these conclusions.
But this does not answer the question of when do babies become human beings so that they cannot be legally aborted?
We feel pain because when the body is injured, an area of the spinal cord called the dorsal horn transmits impulses to the brain and down the spinal cord to the site of the injury. A spinal reflex occurs at the dorsal horn inspires to withdraw from the offending object, such as a hot electric bulb or an inopportunely placed thumbtack. But the experience of pain extends beyond this stimulus and response. The pain signal continues to the thalamus to be directed to further areas to the brain for interpretation. The cortex determines where the pain came from and compares it to previous instances of pain. Signals also travel to the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain. There are feelings associated with every sensation we experience, and the limbic system decides the appropriate response, be it tears or curses. Pain affects everything happening in the nervous system. (About.com).
An article in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine reports that developmental neurobiologists have concluded that thalamocortical connections developed at that period may allow the fetus to perceive pain. The thalamus is the part that routes sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex. It appears that the fetus's developing brain may to be able to record and interpret these sensations.
Fetuses also have the ability to hear while in the womb. There are studies in which loudspeakers were actually put on a mother's abdomen and the fetus's responses were recorded by ultrasound (Development of Fetal Hearing," in the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health). An unborn child having such experiences in the womb would have no subsequent discomfort at a heavy-metal concert.
Responses to sound alone might classify a fetus as human being.
The House vote is not exactly precedential. In Roe v. Wade (1973), the United States Supreme Court held that and that a fetus acquired constitutional rights only after 24 weeks of gestation. The Court reduced it to 22 weeks in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). The Court had exhaustively studied the available medical, psychological and sociological material in order to reach its conclusion in Roe Nevertheless, the case was decided in a 7 to 2 vote. Specifically, the Court held that the Court ruled 7–2 that the right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion.
One of the two dissenting justices, Justice Byron R. White, declared that by this decision the Court had shown that it valued the convenience of the pregnant mother more than the continued existence of the potential life she carried in her womb.
Justice White did not go so far as to declare that the fetus was a human being, but objected to the Court's apparent determination that the fetus had less of a right to live than the mother had to terminate the pregnancy.
The Court subsequently modified its ruling, rejecting the trimester framework of Roe, and finding that a woman had the right to have an abortion up until viability, the time during which the fetus could survive outside the womb. .
However the essence of the decision in Roe and subsequent cases included a limitation on the right to abortion, finding that this constitutional right to privacy had to be balanced against the state's legitimate interests in regulating abortions in order to protect prenatal life and the mother's health. This left unresolved the extent to which the "state" could go in safeguarding the life of unborn child and the mother's well-being.
Thus the House of Representatives could vote to establish a fetus's humanity at 22 weeks, and use "protection" as its legislative shield.
For now, the House has decreed that a fetus becomes human after 22 weeks. If the measure passes the Senate, the exact date of a fetus's humanity will be established as the law of the land.

I'll be doing a lot of driving this weekend, and I would love to listen to some wine podcasts. What are your favorites? Would also take recommendations for anything industry or beverage-related.
It's not a podcast, but YouTube channel "The Unknown Winecaster" is excellent and can easily be listened to while driving podcast-style. I love using the videos when I can't read anymore and need a break from more typical theory study, too.

In Safetti, we work with fabrics of the latest technologies to provide athletes with better comfort in their training. We are committed to our clients to offer the best advice in garment care for long lasting durability. With this effort, Safetti and its clients can maintain the garments quality.
Through this manual, Safetti will provide you the instructions and appropriate care in the use, wash and dry of the garment. It is our responsibility to provide and share this information to guarantee durability and to avoid claims for the incorrect use or regular wear out of the garment.
1. Recommendations for the use of the garment:
Fabrics made of Spandex and/or Lycra, are very delicate to contact to rough surfaces, like pavements, this is why we recommend special care when you are in contact with this surfaces, to avoid the wear out of the fabric from improper use. If you use Velcro gloves, avoid contact with the fabric to prevent its wear.
2. Recommendations for washing and drying of the garments:
- Garments can be manually washed to room temperature and/or in the washer machine to a temperature not greater than 30 degrees centigrade.
- Do not let the garment soak, do not use bleach or fabric softener in the washing cycle, dry in the shade and hang it. Do not use the dryer, and don't twist the garment, otherwise, it will lose its guarantee automatically.
- When using the garment in the pool, wash it as soon as possible. Chlorine action produces wearing of the fabric.

Warmer weather brings out the shaved ice vendors who crush and mix icy sweet treats to help you beat the heat. To enjoy shaved ice anytime, you don't need the sun beating down or expensive equipment like an ice crusher. One of the most authentic and traditional ways to make shaved ice without an ice crusher is with a hand ice shaver, which you can find in many supermarkets' ethnic sections. With a hand ice shaver and a block of ice, you can have a summer treat all year long.
Step 1
Rinse the inside of the empty milk carton thoroughly, fill it with water, and store it in the freezer for up to two days or until completely frozen.
Step 2
Remove the milk carton from the freezer; cut away the carton and remove it completely to expose the block of ice. Place a towel on top of the cutting board and place the block of ice on the towel.
Step 3
Place part of the towel on one end of the ice block to hold it firmly in place. Hold the ice shaver in your other hand, place it firmly on the ice block, then pull it back toward you. Repeat until the ice shaver's compartment fills with ice.
Step 4
Empty the ice shavings into the bowl, then place the bowl in the freezer so the ice doesn't melt. Repeat these steps until you have enough ice shavings.
Step 5
Wrap the ice block into a clean, brown paper grocery bag, then place it in the freezer for later use.
- If you don't have an ice shaver, use a cheese grater as a substitute. Also, a cheese slicer will work, but it might dull the device.
- Mix the shaved ice with juices, punches or use it in your favorite cocktail.
- Be careful when handling the ice block because your body heat will melt the ice.

When it comes to how we should greet news of the OECD's improved forecasts for global economic growth, Martin Wolf is clear. In this week's column he writes that while relief is legitimate, complacency definitely is not.
The OECD's latest Economic Outlook forecasts 3.6 per cent global growth this year, up from 3.1 per cent in 2016. Growth is forecast to reach 3.7 per cent in 2018, close to the 1990-2007 average. But threats to global recovery remain, and Martin argues we should follow the John F Kennedy maxim: "the time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining."
Mountains of both corporate and household debt need to be hacked back, he suggests, or we risk manageable debt becoming unmanageable if interest rates rise — this could lead to a repeat of the financial crisis that hit the world economy after 2008. As Martin says, we should by now recognise the signs in time to head off what he calls a potential "second wave" crisis. You have been warned.

Horse-trading on citizens' rights continues— letter from Jane Golding, Chair, British in Europe, Berlin, Germany and Nicolas Hatton, Chair, the3million
"While we appreciate the high quality of the FT's Brexit reporting, it is disappointing to see it accepting the EU and UK line that they are in "touching distance" of "shoring up" the rights of EU nationals living in the UK, and UK nationals living on the continent. As representatives of the 4.5m people who will have to live with whatever compromise is negotiated on our behalf we strongly disagree that a deal is in sight. Not only has Brexit secretary David Davis failed to respond to our requests to meet us on numerous occasions, but both sides are still engaged in horse-trading over our futures, while pretending otherwise."
Comment from International Economist/Observer on Amy Kazmin's story, The Taj Mahal is caught in a tug of war over Indian identity
"It's possible both to denounce fundamentalism of any kind (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, etc.) and advocate tolerance, while also noting that in India's history there was persecution of Hindus during the Muslim period. Still, people from the two religions lived and worked together for centuries. Each time it looked as though Islam could be swallowed up in the Hindu melting pot, there was a strong reaction — as when Aurangzeb (Shah Jahan's son) took over and killed his brother (Dara Shikoh) who was much influenced by Hindu philosophy. Again, in 1760, when it looked as though the Hindu Marathas could rule India, the Rohilla (Muslim, Afghan) leader Najib called on Ahmad Shah of Afghanistan to invade India."
Uber exemplifies the Tragedy of the Commons— letter from Tad Borek in San Francisco, CA
"Uber has been a textbook example of Garrett Hardin's tragedy in its home market. Within driving distance of San Francisco are millions of potential drivers. The city is a hub of tourism and business travel, so always has people who want to be hauled around. And of course, traffic capacity is limited on both the urban-core streets and the bridges leading here. The result is overgrazed roads with the anticipated tragic outcomes: inadequate driver wages from oversupply, which results in high turnover and lower driver quality; and negative externalities such as traffic congestion and increased air pollution."

Two new projects — one high-end residential and the other office and retail — are slated to begin soon in Verdae.
The Brownstones at Hollingsworth Park will feature 24 luxury brownstones overlooking Legacy Park, and a yet-to-be-named 50,000-square-foot building with office and retail will be built on Rocky Slope Road, it was announced Friday, July 20.
"These are significant projects for Verdae because they help fill out the very heart of Hollingsworth Park," said Debbie Wallace, president and chief operating officer of Verdae Development. Hollingsworth Park is Verdae's central residential district. When these projects are complete, Hollingsworth Park will have only about 40 acres left to develop, she said.
The Brownstones at Hollingsworth Park will be unlike any other residential product in the Greenville market, said Chris Bailey, founder of Stoneledge Properties, the project's developer and builder.
"I truly believe this is a generational product," he said. "I've literally never seen a product like this in Greenville. It will be a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 24 people fortunate to own one of the units."
The 3.68-acre development will feature two- and three-story units ranging from 2,800 to 3,200 square feet. Two- and three-bedroom units are available. The two-story units have the master bedroom and bath on the main floor. The three-story units will have the master bedroom on the third level with an elevator option. Bonus room, recreation room, and theater room options are available.
Interior features will include solid surface countertops and custom cabinets. High-end appliances, home automation and technology, and security systems are available, Bailey said.
All units will have private courtyards large enough for a garden or small therapy pool, and two-car alley-accessible garages.
Prices begin in the $800,000s, Bailey said.
The homes are designed by Kevin Culhan Architects.
"We're bringing a traditional northern brownstone concept to Greenville with a modern living interpretation," Bailey said.
Pre-sales will be available in the fall by Coldwell Banker Caine. Those interested can call 864-329-8383 to register for early notification. Construction could start this winter, Bailey said.
The new office and retail is being developed by NHE Inc. and constructed by Creative Builders. The architect is DP3 Architects.
The three-story, 50,000-square-foot building will have office on the second and third floors, and retail on the first, said Taylor Davis of NHE Inc., the developer of the project.
NHE Inc., which currently has offices in two buildings in Verdae, will occupy about 10,000 square feet on the third floor, Davis said. Davis said another 5,000 square feet is available on that floor, and he has a potential tenant who hasn't signed a lease yet.
The Willson Jones Carter & Baxley law firm will occupy the 15,000-square-foot second floor, he said. This will not be the first time NHE and the law firm have been housed in the same building, Davis said. They shared space on South Pleasantburg Drive at one time, but NHE moved when the law firm needed more space, he said.
"We're doing 2.0. Going downtown was never really an option for our two firms," he said.
The building's first floor will be retail, Davis said. Retail tenants have not been named yet. Scott Burgess and Lance Byers with Colliers International's Greenville office are handling retail leasing.
Davis said there could be up to seven retail tenants, but more likely between three and five. He said he believes another restaurant could be successful in Verdae, and other retail target could be a clothing store.
Davis said the architectural designs are being done now and construction should start early in the fourth quarter. He said construction should take 12 months.
Debbie Wallace named Verdae President, COO
Debbie Wallace is Verdae Development's new president and chief operating officer.
Wallace, who joined Verdae as director of marketing in 2008, was promoted at Verdae Development's board meeting earlier this month. She replaces Rick Sumerel, who retired after serving as president since 2005.
"She's the perfect person to take over," Sumerel said. "She's already proven her ability. There have been several projects she was responsible for making happen. She's a good businesswoman, smart, assertive, and can see the big picture while focusing on all the details."
Verdae Development Board President Tim Reed said Wallace has been acting in that capacity for the past 12 months.
"We've made it official," he said.
While there's been a change at the top for Verdae Development, Reed said the plan remains the same. "We're still working to build out the master plan," he said.
Wallace said the plan calls for Verdae to complete infills by 2026 and construction by 2030. "It's a lofty goal, but achievable if the market stays strong," she said.
