City officials on Tuesday again asked for the right to spend $35 million to build three schools to help relieve crowding.
"Every hand grenade that's been thrown at us we've defused, but we keep trying," Mayor Alex Fekete said.
The city wants to borrow money, build a middle school and two elementaries by 1998, lease them to the board and let the board buy the schools six years later.
Responding to the Broward School Board's Feb. 11 rejection of their plan, city officials renewed their request with a point-by-point rebuttal.
Among the disputed points:
-- The board says Pembroke Pines would get new schools while other areas don't. But the city says that based on population alone, it should get more schools. Besides, the city is doing the financing and building that other cities aren't.
-- The School Board says it would get nothing for the money it spends to buy the schools from the city. The city says the board would get three new schools five years early, save about $10 million on anticipated inflation increases, avoid the need for portables and save on the cost of busing students to schools with available space.
-- The School Board says it could do the same thing as the city. True, the city responds, but "there has been no indication whatsoever to this date that the School Board has any intention of doing so."
"Nothing in this plan is refutable," Fekete said. "Time and again we've shown that this plan works, that it's doable and that it would be an asset to the district and the children of the community."
City officials plan to attend Tuesday's School Board meeting to ask again for approval of the plan, which was first submitted in May. What if the School Board again refuses? "I've not going to look at this pessimistically," Fekete said. "My hopes are high. ... I can't imagine them turning it down."
He did, however, hint that city leaders wouldn't support a proposed $800 million school bond issue, which needs voter approval, if the board says no. "If the board approves, we could comfortably and confidently go to our residents and support the added revenues because acceptance would show that the board has changed its ways and is willing to consider innovative ideas," he said.
The board also hasn't acted on the city's offers to front $3 million for 24 classrooms at Flanagan High School and to have developer Ron Bergeron provide $300,000 for 12 portables at two elementary schools.
School Board Chairman Abe Fischler said he couldn't comment until he read the report.

Harshwardhan on Thursday signed a deal with the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat for manufacturing drones that would be able to detect and defuse land mines on a battle field.
As per media reports, Harshwardhan has described that the drones will be equipped with sensors and thermal meters along with a 21-megapixel camera for snapping high resolution pictures. These drones can also send out 'waves' up to eight square meters while it is two feet above ground level. The emitted waves will be able to find land mines and send their location to the concerned authorities.

His parents funded the total cost involved in building first two prototypes, which was around Rs 2 lakh and the third one costing Rs 3 lakh was paid for by the state.

More beds needed for Regina's homeless
Regina's hospitals have been operating above 100 per cent capacity and the local shelters have had to turn people away out into the cold.
Regina's hospitals and shelters are too small. It's the sort of thing that led to the candlelight memorial in Victoria Park on Jan. 31, for those who lost their lives in Regina to the effects of homelessness.
The effects of trauma and hypothermia are normally handled in the emergency wards at the Regina General Hospital and Pasqua Hospital. Both have been overcrowded and plagued with long wait times most recently.
There should be more beds made available and new shelter and hospital construction projects initiated locally in order to shorten wait times. The idea of waiting for another election in hopes for something more to be done should be secondary to asking the current governments to go forward with such projects and bring things up to date.

In the Old Testament, I am reading through Psalms. A couple of days ago, I came to Psalm 90 – the only psalm written by Moses – and was struck by its opening words:
"Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations…"
Think a minute about just who was saying this. The man that God commissioned to take his people out of Egypt and right to the gates of the Promised Land. So, had God's people not had a dwelling place up to that point? Of course they had. The true and eternal dwelling place that the acreage of Israel symbolized – God Himself.
Did Moses consider the acreage a more 'real' inheritance than God's people already had? Of course not. Mere earthly territory could never have superseded the promise of abiding in God Himself. That would have been a huge step backward.
As the writer of Hebrews said, long after the Jews had their earthly territory, this was by no means the 'rest' God had promised them.
"For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God….Let us therefore strive to enter that rest…"
That rest is, of course, our Lord Himself.
"Come unto me all you who labor and and heavy-laden and I will give you rest….Abide in me…." And so on.
One of the most important verses in the whole Bible in terms of understanding the essence of God's promises is Galatians 3:16:
"Now the promises were made to Abraham and his offspring. It does not say 'offsprings' referring to many, but referring to one, 'And to your offspring' (singular) who is Christ."
In other words, in their most essential sense, the great promises of God were made to one person,Christ – not Israel. Why? Because, of course, Christ was the only one worthy of them, the only one who could fulfil the conditions of the covenant. He was God's great covenant! (Isaiah 49:8b) And its heir. Christ and Christ alone.
And he offers us the incredible honor and privilege of being joint heirs with him.
Believing Jews, believing Gentiles – we enter exactly the same way on exactly the same footing and inherit the true Promised Land – the New Heavens and the New Earth – together as the one people of God: true spiritual Israel – when we are engrafted into Him. His country. His rest. Christ as the rest…
Moses understood it. Why do we find it so difficult?
Many years ago, we had a Jewish accountant who became interested in the gospel for a time. One day John had a great opportunity to talk with him about these things. He said to him, "Larry (we will call him), do you not understand that Moses could not have taken God's people into the Promised Land. 'Law' can't get people there and Moses is associated with law in the Bible. (Though, as we have said, he personally understood grace). That is why another was given that privilege. Joshua. The one sharing the name of our Savior, Jesus, foreshadowing that Savior. He is the one who leads us into God's true rest, our eternal dwelling place.
There was a pause and Larry said,
Larry, because so many Christians don't understand these things!
May we be faithful in separating the shadows of Scripture from their fulfilment, showing the eternal purposes of God to bless all who are in Christ: God's great 'Yea and Amen'.

Vanessa Ramzieh is a 26 year old professional body painter stationed in Boston, Massachusetts. She works for a professional company doing body painting in both traditional and airbrush work. We discuss with Vanessa her creative process, inspiration, and plans for the future. Vanessa says that music is one of the main driving forces behind her art, coining it 'the anchor' behind a lot of her make-up pieces.
Vanessa tells us she began experimenting with body art and painting at a very young age. "I always had an interest in make-up since I was a young girl. I used to steal my mother's lipstick when I was young. In middle school I bought a pencil of eyeliner and used to sneak in the girl's bathroom to put it on and then wipe it off before I left school. A rebel, I know."
Beyond this, Vanessa has been involved in theater since the young age of eight, later going on to study acting at college. "My sophomore year of college, everyone, whether we were actors or technicians, we were required to take a stage make-up course. It was at that moment that I decided to make a completely new career path for myself. I continued acting, but with every show I was not acting in I decided to design hair and makeup for it."
This environment allowed Vanessa to learn the professional skills required for a career in aesthetics and makeup. "Since graduating I taught myself how to body paint and expand my canvas." Vanessa tells us that she later got a job at a professional theater as a hair and makeup stylist, to then go on to her current position at a company doing body painting professionally.
There's no doubt that Vanessa's job requires a huge amount of creative spirit. But what does creation mean to her? "Creation means the world to me. I actually got a tattoo last year in Jon Bellion's handwriting on my right arm with the word 'create' it reminds me how important having dreams and passion is", says Vanessa. "The moment you give away your dreams, it's a step into reality", Vanessa tells us that once she has a creative spark, she can never ignore it. "Inspire and Create are two very important words I live by because they make me whole."
"The moment you give away your dreams, it's a step into reality"
We are all inspired by different things. For Vanessa, her creation is inspired by music. "[The] majority of my creations come from music, whether it be a lyric, album art or person I feel values others artwork. I also am extremely inspired by other fellow artists." Vanessa believes that it's also very important to encourage and support other artists. "I follow a wide variety of art accounts on social media, no matter what their follower count is, everyone starts somewhere. I feel that it's important to support others, it helps them feel whole and gives them the urge and strive they need to continue to create."
So what musicians inspire her? "I have to start off with Twenty One Pilots right?", Vanessa laughs. "They're the reason why I'm here. If it wasn't for them believing in me and my artwork, I'm not sure where I would be in my career path. I owe them a lot more than I say. Not only are they a supportive band, but they're not afraid to truly let their artwork be out in the open, no matter how weird or odd it is. Not to mention they're a band that focuses on mental illness so it's a win, win situation."
Twenty One Pilots' stage-mate Jon Bellion, who opened for the duo on the Emotional Roadshow tour is another artist that inspires Vanessa. "[Jon Bellion] is another huge influence in my life but on a completely different spectrum. I've had the honored of getting to talk to Jon one on one, on more than one occasion, and he is the kindest soul I've ever met in my life. He's inspiring to me because he believes in other people. He's someone who truly loves and views art in a positive light. He constantly uses artwork on his album covers, he actually keeps a lot of the artwork he's given while on tour. He's also the same age as me, and if he can do it, why can't I?"
Beyond musicians, Vanessa tells us she finds inspiration in places closer to home too. "Honestly, a lot of my friends inspire me with their artwork, especially people I've watched grow over the years. I have a bunch of artwork framed in my room to remind me how beautiful and passionate every person I follow is. Inspiration is an important feeling and have and to give. If I can inspire others, there's nothing more I'd want in my artwork."
"I have a bunch of artwork framed in my room to remind me how beautiful and passionate every person I follow is"
One thing that artists have to deal with is 'artist's block'. Sometimes life gets in the way, we are busy and buried under work and responsibilities. Vanessa resonates with this, telling us how authenticity is such a vital part of creation for her. "Sometimes I don't have the urge to do it, I get too tired to do it or I just don't want to do it. I've made mistakes in the past to create for the sake of my followers. I learned forced pieces just weren't a part of me. It took away who I was."
She tells us that she finds inspiration in other artists' work. "Sometimes when I have had a long streak of lack of inspiration, I look at new artwork I've never seen before, listen to new music, etc. anything to spark an interest. I actually have this weird thing I do. When I go to concerts, instead of taking only photos of the performing act, I take photos of the projections, lights, clothing, set pieces, sometimes the weirdest things inspire me."
"I learned forced pieces just weren't a part of me. It took away who I was"
Artist's block is hard, but it shouldn't deter us as artists. "My best advice is to not be afraid", Vanessa says. "I know is sounds silly or dumb, but something you may hate, someone else may love. I learned that so many times. I also understand how scary it is, to show a part of you to the world out in the open not knowing if good or bad will come out of it." Art for Vanessa should be constructive, grounding positive experience and communicating authentic thoughts and feelings. "You just need to learn to focus on the good", Vanessa tells us.
"My favorite artist, Jon Bellion, once said in a Q&A I went to 'if you keep focusing on the negative comments, you start to ignore the positive ones. You start ignoring the people who are there to support you. You focus on ONE negative comment over hundreds of positives'. Since he said that I've learned to just delete the hate". Vanessa loves inspiring others and spreading positivity and encouragement. "I think it's amazing [that] I've helped others get into body painting or just art in general. Never be afraid to show yourself and what makes you proud. If you did a drawing and you are truly proud of it, why should you keep it from the world? Just block out the hate and let in the love."
Vanessa's large platform has given her the space to vocalise her support for mental health awareness. "Mental health is extremely important and I will probably be an advocate till the day I die, because no one was there for me when I was at my lowest. It's important to let people know that they aren't alone. When people, especially the younger generation, hear that people are JUST like them, they start to understand that they aren't lost and don't need 'fixing'. I always tell people: your mental illness doesn't define you, you define it." Vanessa speaks from a place of personal experience. "I suffer from depression; I was diagnosed when I was 18 years old. Creating truly helped me pour my emotions into something healthy. I just want all my followers to know I'm just like them, were all the same just with different problems."

Clones of telomerized fibroblasts of adult human skin have earlier been obtained. It was shown that despite their fast growth in mass cultures, these cells poorly form colonies. Conditioned medium, antioxidants, and reduced partial oxygen pressure enhanced their colony formation, but not to the level characteristic of the initial cells. The conditioned medium of telomerized cells enhanced colony formation to a much greater extent than that of the initial cells. A study of proteome of the telomerized fibroblasts has revealed changes in the activities of tens of genes. A general trend consists in weakening and increased lability of the cytoskeleton and in activation of the mechanisms controlling protein degradation. However, these changes are not very pronounced. During the formation of immortal telomerized cells, selection takes place, which appears to determine changes in the expression of some genes. It was proposed that a decrease in the capacity of telomerized cells for colony formation is due to increased requirements of these cells to cell-cell contacts. The rate of cell growth reached that characteristic of mass cultures only in the largest colonies. In this respect, the telomerized fibroblasts resembled stem cells: they are capable of self-maintenance, but "escape" to differentiation in the absence of the corresponding microenvironment (niche), which is represented by other fibroblasts. Nondividing cells in the test of colony formation should be regarded as differentiated cells, since they have no features of degradation, preserve their viability, actively move, grow, phagocytize debris, etc. It was also shown that telomerization did not prevent differentiation of myoblasts and human neural stem cells. Thus, the results obtained suggest the existence of normal mechanisms underlying the regulation of proliferation in the telomerized cells, which opens possibilities of their use in cell therapy, especially in the case of autotransplantation to senior people, when the cell proliferative potential is markedly reduced and accessibility of stem cells is significantly restricted.

Usage Note: The traditional meaning of prevaricate is "to speak or write evasively." In recent years, a second sense has developed, meaning "to behave in an indecisive manner; delay or procrastinate," perhaps influenced by equivocate, which primarily means "to speak evasively" but can also mean "to be indecisive." In American English, this second sense is widely considered an error, and a large majority of the Usage Panel finds it unacceptable. In 2011, 78 percent of the Panel disapproved of the "delay" sense of the word as used in the sentence He prevaricated for some two years before accepting the new design for production. This usage is more commonly encountered in British English, as in this quotation from the BBC News: As the industry prevaricated, sales collapsed.

It's a misconception that as people get older, their sleep needs decline. In fact, older adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. However, it can be harder for men and women over 65 to stay asleep throughout the night.
With age, there are certain biological changes that make sleep more difficult. Older adults can experience a shift in their 24-hour internal body clock (called the circadian rhythm) that causes them to become sleepy in the early evening and to wake up earlier in the morning.
Medical conditions and other sleep disorders can also cause insomnia. Health issues such as gastrointestinal and respiratory problems can disrupt sleep. Sleep apnea, when a person briefly but repeatedly stops breathing during sleep, can also cause insomnia.
If you regularly have trouble sleeping or feel tired during the day, talk to your doctor. Small changes in sleep habits—such as stopping napping or cutting back on caffeine—can help. But if your insomnia is related to a medical or psychiatric condition, it's important to talk about this with your doctor and decide on a treatment plan that's right for you.

The concept of the Virtual Software Corporation ( VSC) has recently become a practical reality as a result of advances in communication and distributed technologies. However, there are significant difficulties with the management of the software development process within a VSC. The main problem is the significantly increased communicational complexity of the process model for such developments. The more classic managerial hierarchy is generally replaced by a "flatter" network of commitments. Therefore new solution approaches are required to provide the necessary process support. The purpose of this paper is to present a solution approach which models the process based on deontic logic. The approach has been validated against a case study where it was used to model commitments and inter-human communications within the software development process of a VSC. The use of the formalism is exemplified through a prototype system using a layered multi-agent architecture.
This paper describes a system that supports softwaredevelopment processes in virtual software corporations. A virtual software corporation consists of a set of enterprisesthat cooperate in projects to fulfill customer needs. Contracts are negotiated in the whole lifecycle of asoftware development project. The negotiations really influence the performance of a company. Therefore, it isuseful to support negotiations and planning decisions with software agents. Our approach integrates software agentapproaches for negotiation support with flexible multiserver workflow engines.
In the recent years a form of software development that was previously dismissed as too ad-hoc and chaotic for serious projects has suddenly taken the front stage. With products such as Apache, Linux, Perl, and others, open-source software has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional approaches to software development. With its globally distributed developer force and extremely rapid code evolution, open source is arguably the extreme in "virtual software projects" [1], and exemplifies many of the advantages and challenges of distributed software development.

Key players from the oil and petrochemicals industry were invited to address the impact of developing and processing of carbon fossil fuels.
Among them were Russian and international, including BP, Shell, Rosneft, LUKOIL, Gazpromneft, SIBUR and Shlumberger.The meeting at the British Ambassador's Residence in Moscow heard from the multi-disciplinary team from London's Imperial College about industry applications of their highly-rated heat exchange research project.
Hosted by Barbara Habberjam, the Embassy's Minister Counsellor, Economic and Trade & Investment, it marked the first year of UNIHEAT – a £9.3 m UK-Russia research-industry consortium led by the Imperial College and Boreskov Institute of Catalysis with support from UK's BP and Russia's Skolkovo Foundation. Focusing on making oil refining in Russia more efficient and environmentally sustainable, UNIHEAT boasts a unique industrial engagement programme - whereby knowledge transfer activities are run in parallel to research.
Partnership through UNIHEAT with Russia's Skolkovo Foundation, which takes forward the country's most ambitious modernisation agenda, offers an important grounding for a continuing dialogue between UK and Russia on innovation, technology, green energy and environment. With one of the world's most renowned research hubs such as the UK's Imperial now opening an office in Moscow, this dialogue is taken an important step further.

Rural Municipality of Pembina
The Rural Municipality of Pembina is a former rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was originally incorporated as a rural municipality on November 1, 1890.[1] It ceased on January 1, 2015 as a result of its provincially mandated amalgamation with the Town of Manitou to form the Municipality of Pembina.[2]
The former RM is located in the southern part of the province, along the border with the state of North Dakota in the United States. It had a population of 1,712 persons as of the 2006 Census, a decline from 1,769 persons reported in the 2001 Census. The Boundary Trail Railway was partly owned by the former RM and serves local producers.
The former RM is historically famous for the setting of the final invasion of Canada from the neighbouring US, performed by the Fenian Brotherhood in 1871.
According to Statistics Canada, the former RM had an area of 1,114.76 km² (430.41 sq mi).

One of the best reasons to hire a professional property management company is to protect yourself from the liability that's involved any time you rent out a property to tenants. There are a lot of legal requirements that pertain to landlords and a property management company can make sure you are compliant.
Tenant Screening
A qualified tenant will greatly reduce your liability and that's why tenant screening is so important. You need to take a careful look at credit history, past payments for mortgages or rent, criminal backgrounds and employment history. Property managers will help you establish consistent rental criteria and make it available to prospective tenants before they submit an application. The same criteria must be consistently applied to all applicants. Tenants will know whether they are qualified before they apply and everyone will save themselves time and money. Property managers have the tools and resources available to conduct thorough background checks, and the process goes a lot faster.
Security Deposits
You need to know how much of a security deposit to collect. It should be a reasonable amount and affordable for tenants, and it also needs to be sufficient to cover any normal costs or damages at the time a tenant vacates the property. Your property manager can help you determine what is reasonable. Many property owners are not familiar with the laws regarding how security deposits are held. Washington State law requires that security deposits are kept in a separate trust account. Property management companies will keep that money separate and ensure a proper move-in inspection is conducted and signed by the tenant.
Regular inspections will also help you reduce the liability at your rental property. A good property manager will schedule inspections and do a thorough job of checking out the inside and outside of the property. There might be minor maintenance issues that need attention and if the tenant isn't aware of them or hasn't reported them, they can grow into larger problems. At Brink Property Management, we recommend inspections every six months. This is frequent enough to keep our eyes on the property but not invasive to your tenant's privacy. The goal is to make sure the home is being maintained well.
Fair Housing Laws

Ruling-BJD, Congress in Odisha fume over LPG price hike
Bhubaneswar: With fuel prices at stratospheric levels, the Central government hiked prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) today leading to further resentment.
The recent LPG price hike has now provided an opportunity to both ruling-Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Opposition Congress in Odisha to train their guns at the BJP-led government at the Centre.
As per the revised rates, a consumer will now have to pay Rs 2.33 extra per subsidized cylinder while the non-subsidized LPG cylinder will cost Rs 48 more.
"It is unfortunate as people are already reeling under rising fuel prices and hike in LPG prices will certainly compound the miseries," said Congress leader, Sasmita Behera.
Similarly, BJD MLA Sanjay Das Burma said, "The Centre has now directly attacked every household and we condemn the hike in LPG prices."
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan on the other hand, targeted Odisha government for unnecessarily politicising the issue.
"Today, some of my friends created a furore over hike in non-subsidized LPG cylinders. If Odisha government is so concerned then it should inform the GST council to impose zero tax on LPG," said Pradhan.
Pradhan further stated that there has been no change in the allotment of subsidized LPG cylinders.
"The consumers, who got a subsidy of Rs nearly Rs 169 per subsidized LPG cylinder in May, will now get a subsidy of Rs 204.95 per new cylinder in June. Is the BJD opposing the hike in subsidy?" questioned Pradhan.

Thoughts for your Monday and this week
"One day in glory, . . . God will pull back the curtain and, in a way far greater than George Bailey's experience, allow us to see the lives touched through words and actions we'd long since forgotten. . . .
"So in the meantime, just live. Live well! Live as compassionately and selflessly as possible. Trust God for the results. Trust God that he will use your life day by day to benefit others and bring glory to him. One day it will all be clear."
—Dick Alexander in "Christmas at the Movies: It's a Wonderful Life"

$s1 = $sql->query('select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * from db limit 0, 3'); $s2 = $sql->query('select FOUND_ROWS()'); if($row = $s2->fetch_row()) printf('%d/%d', $s1->num_rows, $row[0]);Sometime, when we run something analogous to above example on the mysql command line, it would work; but running it from php, it failed. The second query has to "know about" the first one, so for some reason its persistence/memory linking the two queries was getting messed up by the php.
(It turns out that Wordpress uses this type of query to do its pagination - so our larger problem was that the pagination in a wordpress install suddenly stopped working when we moved to php 5.2.6 ... eventually tracked it down to the FOUND_ROWS()).
Just for the sake of posting for people who may run into this in the future... for me it was the php setting "mysql.trace_mode" - this defaulted "on" in 5.2.6 instead of "off" like previously, and for some reason prevents the FOUND_ROWS() from working.
As a "fix", we could either put this in every php page (actually, in a common "include"):
ini_set("mysql.trace_mode", "0");or add this to the .htaccess:
php_value mysql.trace_mode "0"

|Duke Ellington,
Harry Howell Carney (April 1, 1910 - October 8, 1974) was a swing baritone saxophonist, clarinetist, and bass clarinetist best known for his 45-year tenure in Duke Ellington's band. Carney started off in Ellington's band playing alto, but soon switched to the baritone. His strong, steady saxophone often served as the anchor of Duke's music. He also played clarinet and bass clarinet on occasion.
Harry Howell Carney was born in 1910 in Boston, Massachusetts. At seventeen he ran off to join Duke Ellington's orchestra starting first on clarinet and eventually moving on to baritone saxophone.
Carney was the longest lasting player in Duke Ellington's band. He was always there and on occasions when Ellington was missing he took over as conductor, particularly when Ellington wished to make a stage entrance after the band had begun playing the first piece of a performance. Ellington and Carney were close friends. The majority of their careers they rode together in Carney's car to concerts, allowing Ellington to come up with new ideas. Fictionalised accounts of these road trips are documented in Geoff Dyer's But Beautiful.
Ellington wrote a number of 'show-piece' features for Carney throughout their time together, such as "Frustration" (c1944-45). This was typical of Ellington's ability to exploit the voices of his most treasured soloists by creating works that were tailored specifically to the individual rather than being for a generic baritone saxophonist. In addition, Ellington would sometimes feature Carney's robust renditions of the melodies of such hits as "Sophisticated Lady" and "In a Mellow Tone." In 1973 Ellington built the Third Sacred Concert around Carney's soulful baritone saxophone.[1]
It has to be said, however, that in later years Carney's voice was heard a little less as a soloist than it was in the 1930s. This is perhaps owing to the presence from late 1939 onwards of an additional tenor saxophonist (the most important of these being Ben Webster and later Paul Gonsalves), further increasing the pool of star soloists in the orchestra. It was also in the early 1940s, after this increase to five reed players in the Ellington orchestra, that Carney ceased using the alto saxophone and Johnny Hodges ceased playing the soprano saxophone. Carney's clarinet continued to be deployed in the well-known composition "Rockin' in Rhythm" for which he is also credited as a co-composer. This was one of the 'work-horses' of the Ellington orchestra that remained in the band books throughout its life on the road. After Ellington's 1974 death, Carney said: "This is the worst day of my life. Without Duke I have nothing to live for." Four months later, Carney also died.
While not the first baritone saxophonist in jazz, Carney was certainly the first major performer on the instrument, and his sound influenced several generations of musicians. Throughout his career Carney played saxophones by the manufacturer C.G. Conn, and like other jazz musicians was known to offer endorsements of his preferred brand. Photographic evidence suggests that the mouthpieces he used were predominantly those of the Woodwind Company of New York. (His preferred model may have been that company's 'Sparkle-Aire' 5.) The combination of such a large-chambered mouthpiece and the Conn brand of baritone saxophone was certainly a factor in the production of his enormous, rich tone. He may have modelled his Baritone Saxophone tone on that of the (larger) Bass Saxophone.
He was an early jazz proponent of circular breathing. He was also Hamiet Bluiett's favorite Baritone Saxophone player because he "never saw anybody else stop time"[1] in reference to a concert Bluiett attended where Carney held a note during which all else went silent.
Carney made a few recordings as a bandleader, and also recorded with Lionel Hampton.

December 19th
Well I am like 36 hours past my brain surgery and hanging on there. Surprisingly adjusting to all the meds has been a lot more difficult that dealing with all the staples in my head. It's very hard to stand up or focus my eyes without getting really light headed but I am hanging in there. Still trying to figure out how I am ever going to brush through what is left of my hair. Still can't get it wet until Monday or Tuesday and it's FULL of glue and knots. Oh well, that is the least of my worries. Hoping to get a little more sturdy on my feet today.

The early childhood education sector in New Zealand has experienced a lot of change over recent years. It is an industry that has seen steady growth, partly fueled by population growth and the introduction of government policies like 20 Hours Early Childhood Education (ECE).
Due to this government support, the number of ECE services in New Zealand has increased by 7% in the past three years, with the number of qualified teachers increasing by 11.7%.
For many commercial property owners, this represents a new opportunity for property investment. But like any growing market, it's important to be aware of the factors that affect it and the value of the property.
Before investing in an ECE property, you should know exactly what it is. The Ministry of Education states that childcare facilities can cover several different types, including:
Every ECE centre needs a licence. To obtain an ECE centre licence, there are a number of requirements that must be met, such as:
Population growth and government support and have contributed to the rise of ECE centres throughout New Zealand. As a growing market, the childcare sector has seen a lot of interest from commercial property investors.
What rental prices can you expect out of ECE centres? Rentals on childcare facilities are generally calculated on the basis of a rate per licensed child, per annum. Because of this, the size of the facility is a significant factor in rental prices.
This can be broken up into two main types: converted residential dwelling and purpose-built facilities.
To give you an example, in Tauranga, converted residential dwellings can lie between $1,500 and $2,000 per child, whereas purpose-built facilities tend to be higher, priced between $1,750 and $2,750 per child.
In the past, converted residential dwellings were commonplace, but due to the recent growth of ECE centres, the market is now dominated by purpose-built facilities.
If you are a commercial property owner, there are several things you should consider when investing in ECE centres. As with any investment property, the potential value is determined by the overall quality of improvements, location and sustainable income (which is driven by the quality of service).
There are several factors which affect rent, many of which are unique to ECE properties, such as:
What does this mean for property investors? Sales evidence indicates that childcare centres show similar levels of return to the wider market for commercial property. While ECE centres present a good investment opportunity, not every property is the same and there are many things to take into account.
If you're looking to invest in an ECE centre, here are a few questions to ask yourself and your valuer:
