Artwork and Illustrations Guidelines
For the best quality final product, it is highly recommended that you submit all of your artwork – photographs, line drawings, etc. – in an electronic format. Your art will then be produced to the highest standards with the greatest accuracy to detail. The published work will directly reflect the quality of the artwork provided.
Electronic Figure Submission
Supply all figures electronically.
Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork.
For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. MS Office files are also acceptable.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
Line Art
Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading.
Do not use faint lines and/or lettering and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size.
All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide.
Scanned line drawings and line drawings in bitmap format should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Halftone Art
Definition: Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading, etc.
If any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves.
Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Halftone Art
Definition: a combination of halftone and line art, e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensive lettering, color diagrams, etc.
Combination artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.
Color Art
Color art is free of charge for online publication.
If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.
If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.
Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
Figure Lettering
To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans serif fonts).
Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt).
Variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label.
Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc.
Do not include titles or captions within your illustrations.
Figure Numbering
All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).
If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures, "A1, A2, A3, etc." Figures in online appendices (Electronic Supplementary Material) should, however, be numbered separately.
Figure Captions
Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.
Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.
No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.
Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.
Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.
Figure Placement and Size
When preparing your figures, size figures to fit in the column width.
For most journals the figures should be 39 mm, 84 mm, 129 mm, or 174 mm wide and not higher than 234 mm.
For books and book-sized journals, the figures should be 80 mm or 122 mm wide and not higher than 198 mm.
If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and that Springer will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.
In order to give people of all abilities and disabilities access to the content of your figures, please make sure that
All figures have descriptive captions (blind users could then use a text-to-speech software or a text-to-Braille hardware)
Patterns are used instead of or in addition to colors for conveying information (color-blind users would then be able to distinguish the visual elements)
Any figure lettering has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1
Electronic Supplementary Material
Springer accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio, etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article or a book chapter. This feature can add dimension to the author's article, as certain information cannot be printed or is more convenient in electronic form.
Supply all supplementary material in standard file formats.
Please include in each file the following information: article title, journal name, author names; affiliation and e-mail address of the corresponding author.
To accommodate user downloads, please keep in mind that larger-sized files may require very long download times and that some users may experience other problems during downloading.
Audio, Video, and Animations
Always use MPEG-1 (.mpg) format.
Text and Presentations
Submit your material in PDF format; .doc or .ppt files are not suitable for long-term viability.
A collection of figures may also be combined in a PDF file.
Spreadsheets should be converted to PDF if no interaction with the data is intended.
If the readers should be encouraged to make their own calculations, spreadsheets should be submitted as .xls files (MS Excel).
Specialized Formats
Specialized format such as .pdb (chemical), .wrl (VRML), .nb (Mathematica notebook), and .tex can also be supplied.
Collecting Multiple Files
It is possible to collect multiple files in a .zip or .gz file.
If supplying any supplementary material, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables.
Refer to the supplementary files as "Online Resource", e.g., "... as shown in the animation (Online Resource 3)", "... additional data are given in Online Resource 4".
Name the files consecutively, e.g. "ESM_3.mpg", "ESM_4.pdf".
For each supplementary material, please supply a concise caption describing the content of the file.
Processing of supplementary files
Electronic supplementary material will be published as received from the author without any conversion, editing, or reformatting.
In order to give people of all abilities and disabilities access to the content of your supplementary files, please make sure that
The manuscript contains a descriptive caption for each supplementary material
Video files do not contain anything that flashes more than three times per second (so that users prone to seizures caused by such effects are not put at risk)
Ethical Responsibilities of Authors
This journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct.
Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the journal, the professionalism of scientific authorship, and ultimately the entire scientific endeavour. Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice, which include:
The manuscript has not been submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.
The manuscript has not been published previously (partly or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work (please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of text-recycling ("self-plagiarism")).
A single study is not split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one journal over time (e.g. "salami-publishing").
No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support your conclusions
No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author's own ("plagiarism"). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is copyrighted. Important note: the journal may use software to screen for plagiarism.
Consent to submit has been received explicitly from all co-authors, as well as from the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out, before the work is submitted.
Authors whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.
In addition:
Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript.
Requesting to add or delete authors at revision stage, proof stage, or after publication is a serious matter and may be considered when justifiably warranted. Justification for changes in authorship must be compelling and may be considered only after receipt of written approval from all authors and a convincing, detailed explanation about the role/deletion of the new/deleted author. In case of changes at revision stage, a letter must accompany the revised manuscript. In case of changes after acceptance or publication, the request and documentation must be sent via the Publisher to the Editor-in-Chief. In all cases, further documentation may be required to support your request. The decision on accepting the change rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal and may be turned down. Therefore authors are strongly advised to ensure the correct author group, corresponding author, and order of authors at submission.
Upon request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results. This could be in the form of raw data, samples, records, etc.
If there is a suspicion of misconduct, the journal will carry out an investigation following the COPE guidelines. If, after investigation, the allegation seems to raise valid concerns, the accused author will be contacted and given an opportunity to address the issue. If misconduct has been established beyond reasonable doubt, this may result in the Editor-in-Chief's implementation of the following measures, including, but not limited to:
If the article is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.
If the article has already been published online, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction, either an erratum will be placed with the article or in severe cases complete retraction of the article will occur. The reason must be given in the published erratum or retraction note.
The author's institution may be informed.
Compliance with Ethical Standards
To ensure objectivity and transparency in research and to ensure that accepted principles of ethical and professional conduct have been followed, authors should include information regarding sources of funding, potential conflicts of interest (financial or non-financial), informed consent if the research involved human participants, and a statement on welfare of animals if the research involved animals. Authors should include the following statements (if applicable) in a separate section entitled "Compliance with Ethical Standards" in the title page when submitting a paper:
Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest
Research involving Human Participants and/or Animals
Informed consent
Please note that standards could vary slightly per journal dependent on their peer review policies (i.e. double blind peer review) as well as per journal subject discipline. Before submitting your article check the Instructions for Authors carefully.
The corresponding author should be prepared to collect documentation of compliance with ethical standards and send if requested during peer review or after publication.
The Editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned guidelines. The author will be held responsible for false statements or failure to fulfill the above-mentioned guidelines.
Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts, disclosure of relationships and interests affords a more transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work. Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interests is a perspective to which the readers are entitled and is not meant to imply that a financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate. Examples of potential conflicts of interests
that are directly or indirectly related to the research
may include but are not limited to the following:
Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)
Honoraria for speaking at symposia
Financial support for attending symposia
Financial support for educational programs
Employment or consultation
Support from a project sponsor
Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships
Multiple affiliations
Financial relationships, for example equity ownership or investment interest
Intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)
Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work
In addition, interests that go beyond financial interests and compensation (non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may influence your research.
The corresponding author collects the conflict of interest disclosure forms from all authors. (
Please note that each author should complete a disclosure form.
) Examples of forms can be found here:
See below examples of disclosures. The following statements should be included in the tile page:
This study was funded by X (grant number X).
Conflict of Interest:
Author A has received research grants from Company A. Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z.
If no conflict exists, the authors should state:
Conflict of Interest: Author A, Author B, and Author C declare that they have no conflict of interest.
Research involving Human Participants and/or Animals
1) Statement of human rights
When reporting studies that involve human participants, authors should include a statement that the studies have been approved by the appropriate institutional and/or national research ethics committee and have been performed in accordance with the ethical standards as laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration or comparable standards, the authors must explain the reasons for their approach, and demonstrate that the independent ethics committee or institutional review board explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.
The following statements should be included in the title page:
Ethical approval:
"All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards."
For retrospective studies, please add the following sentence:
"For this type of study formal consent is not required."
2) Statement on the welfare of animals
The welfare of animals used for research must be respected. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals have been followed, and that the studies have been approved by a research ethics committee at the institution or practice at which the studies were conducted (where such a committee exists). For studies with animals, the following statement should be included in the title page:
Ethical approval:
"All applicable international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed."
If applicable (where such a committee exists): "All procedures performed in studies involving animals were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institution or practice at which the studies were conducted."
If articles do not contain studies with human participants or animals by any of the authors, please select one of the following statements:
"This article does not contain any studies with human participants performed by any of the authors."
"This article does not contain any studies with animals performed by any of the authors."
"This article does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors."
Informed consent
All individuals have individual rights that are not to be infringed. Individual participants in studies have, for example, the right to decide what happens to the (identifiable) personal data gathered, to what they have said during a study or an interview, as well as to any photograph that was taken. Hence it is important that all participants gave their informed consent in writing prior to inclusion in the study. Identifying details (names, dates of birth, identity numbers and other information) of the participants that were studied should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and genetic profiles unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the participant (or parent or guardian if the participant is incapable) gave written informed consent for publication. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve in some cases, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of participants is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic profiles, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning.
The following statement should be included in the title page:
Informed consent:
"Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study."
If identifying information about participants is available in the article, the following statement should be included:
"Additional informed consent was obtained from all individual participants for whom identifying information is included in this article."
After acceptance
Upon acceptance of your article you will receive a link to the special Author Query Application at Springer's web page where you can sign the Copyright Transfer Statement online and indicate whether you wish to order OpenChoice and offprints.
Once the Author Query Application has been completed, your article will be processed and you will receive the proofs.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer's online platform SpringerLink.
Springer Open Choice
Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, the author(s) agree to publish the article under the Creative Commons Attribution License.
Offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author
Color illustrations
Publication of color illustrations is free of charge.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor.
After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.

Hey fellow book lovers. :) I'm so sorry, for, once again being so absent recently! July was a bit of a busy month for me. I had another ear infection (the 5th one this year!), and I've also been started on a new medication - so I've been trying to adjust to it. My reading last month was pretty bad, as I only managed to read two books - which I know, I know, isn't awful - but I wanted to read more! On a happier note, I've finally decided I'm going to move to WordPress! :D I may try and do a post about this sometime soon, but for now I'll just tell you a little bit. Today, I'm going to be purchasing a domain name and hosting from BlueHost, and although It's going to take a little while to get everything set up - I'm really looking forward to it. :3 I'm also going to be changing my blog name - which I'll reveal once I've brought it. I'm just tired of The British Book Nerd, and I feel that it's too long and I'm kind of embarrassed by it. (Don't ask me why, as I really don't have a clue!) So yes, I'll try and keep you all updated with everything, and I hope to have my July 2014 Book Haul up soon as well, as I filmed it right after I filmed this video. ^.^ So yes, that's it for now, talk to you all again soon.
Books Read In July 2014
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater.
- Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black.

Adding Value Montana is expanding its offerings for the New York market. BY TIM O'CONNOR T he construction market has rebounded across the country since the Great Recession, bringing jobs and activity back into the industry. In few places is that recovery more evident than New York City. The New York Building Congress forecasts that construction spending and employment are approaching or exceeding record territory. The organization estimated that construction spending reached $43.1 billion in the Big Apple in 2016, exceeding $40 billion for the fi rst time. A total of $127.5 billion worth of building is expected to occur through 2018. The strength of the New York construction market has attracted new contractors to the area to meet the demand. These conditions make it increasingly difficult for smaller companies to stand out among the crowded field. Subcontractors must find ways to make themselves indispensable to a project and general contractor. Long Island City's Montana has done this by offering value-added services that go beyond its primary cable distribution business. In 2016, Montana added kitting capabilities, custom label printing for cable jackets, color striping and the ability to cut custom lengths to the customer's specifications. The company also now offers the ability to bundle multiple 62 www.wdimagazine.com Winter 2018 Montana strives to provide value-added services that go beyond its primary cable distribution business. runs, warehouse storage, fiber and copper termination, pallet wrapping and delivering, fiber testing and complete product management. One of the company's newest products, LGHTNG Pull, reflects the company's newfound value-added approach. LGHTNG Pull bundles and binds different types of wire and cable into one compact, flexible multi-conductor cable, simplifying the installation process while reducing labor costs. In addition to wire and cabling, Montana offers lighting controls, fixtures and occupancy sensors. These expanded services enable Montana to streamline cabling installation for its customers. For the upcoming modernization project at LaGuardia Airport, for example, Montana will assemble racking and stacking of server cabling and send the entire system out to the job site in one pallet.

Photography can be an enjoyable and fulfilling hobby. You will never be great at it without a bit of knowledge and effort though. The next few paragraphs will show you how to improve your photography without much hassle.
Physically move closer to the subject in order to get a better picture. If you move close to your subject, you can frame it more effectively, while avoiding distractions around it. This also better captures facial expression, which is very important in portrait photography. The intricacy of portraiture can be lost entirely if you keep your distance from the subject.
It takes experimentation to learn which shutter speed works best in different settings. You can either capture a precise moment or use a higher exposure to blur together a period of time. Using a fast shutter speed can help you catch moving objects, while the slower speed can help you get those natural scenes.
To take photos that look professional, you will need to upgrade to a professional-type camera. For example, buy a dSLR camera for quality shots. This style of camera is the one chosen by most professionals, so purchase one of your own to help you to take those perfect pictures.
Experiment with new things, and do not be afraid to take original pictures. It is important to inject a dose of individuality into every photograph taken. Try to stay away from taking pictures that are described as 'classic'. Try to find interesting angles, and be creative!
If becoming a serious photographer is something you want to do, then you will need a dSLR. These are digital single lens reflex type cameras. They are renowned for their ability to view the subject at the same time you snap the shot. Ideally you would get a full framed DSLR camera that gives you the largest image sensor with the highest detailed photographs.
Always choose your best photos to show. It is always beneficial to take multiple shots with various settings, but you do not have to show them all off, only the best ones should be shown. Don't show too many photos and vary the subject matter. It can get very boring for others to see the same thing over and over again. Keep things unique by trying out different types of shots.
While the background is important, what the viewer is going to notice first is the foreground of the landscape. Ensure that the foreground of the photograph has a striking frame and considers depth in the shot.
Broaden your photographic horizons by playing with your camera's features and the colors and angles you use. You do not have to have a unique object to create a distinctive photo. A good photographer should be able to make a picture of an unoriginal object look interesting, thanks to their skills and artistic talent. Try many different methods to develop your style.
The best results may be obtained by doing research and a lot of effort. These hints will get you a improvement instantly and you can practice other pointers to see more progress. Always remember that you are supposed to be having fun. Remember the tips that you have learned from this article, and you will be on the fast track for success.

The V3.57 board is mostly a surface-mount version of the V3.0, designed for automated assembly. However, it has a few interesting features added to it to make it easier to configure for extra inputs and outputs. The most obvious feature is the extra DB15 connector next to the DB9 serial port. Three of the pins on this are taken up by ground and reference voltage outputs, leaving you with twelve new pins you can use for ignition control, water injection, or any of the features the MSnS-E and MS2/Extra codes offer. The LEDs are no longer on the outside, although if you take the cover off, you'll see that there are a set of tiny surface mount LEDs in approximately the same location as the LEDs on a V3.0 board.
Once you take off the cover, you'll see the proto area is gone, but the V3.57 board now has extra pads to make it easier to access the LED outputs. Also, the JS jumpers are no longer hiding underneath the processor socket; they're out in the open where you can easily solder jumper wires on the top or bottom of the board. Pulse width modulated idle control used to require adding a TIP120 transistor or similar heavy duty driver. The V3.57 board can drive a PWM idle valve directly. Also, the jumpers to select the ignition input are no longer soldered in; instead they are removable and easy to switch yourself.
This page will list common Megasquirt mods and how their equivalent mod works on a V3.57 board.
Ignition Input Mods
You select ignition input with removable jumpers. The jumpers you will use are JP1 and J1. The XG1-XG2 jumper is also a removable jumper and should normally be left in place. Here's how to set up those jumpers.
|Tach input
|Standard Hall / Optical
|VR Inverted
In some cases, you may want to install jumpers in place of the
The V3.57 board also makes it straightforward to add a 5 volt pull-up to the ignition input. There is a pair of pads marked R57. You just solder a 470 ohm or 1k ohm resistor (depending on what your system requires) into the R57 area and you've got a pull-up.
The VR trim pots look a little it different, but are still there and operate in the same manner as on a V3.0 board.

1 It just looks like a Twinkie: Lowertown TwinKeys are made with care and really good cake (that actually tastes like cake) at the Buttered Tin in St. Paul. The restaurant sells charming homemade favorites (try the Thanksgiving sandwich or the pancakes with bacon butter). But few customers can leave without the Tin's version of the Hostess classic. These little yellow torpedoes don't taste like the Twinkies you remember. And they're not supposed to. The golden vanilla cake is moist (and not too sweet), and the freshly whipped cream tastes like it was, well, freshly whipped. thebutteredtin.com
3 You don't have to be a fan of sci-fi to be utterly taken over by "Exposure," the fourth book in a series about South Carolina teenagers with canine-like superpowers. And you don't even have to be a young adult to like these young-adult books. You just have to be a fan of exciting, action-packed stories with crackling, sparkling dialogue. In "Exposure," the four teens struggle to keep control of their superpowers while trying to track down the kidnapper of three of their schoolmates. The series was created by Kathy Reichs, creator of the hit TV series "Bones." She and her co-author son, Brendan, will be at Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis at 6:30 p.m. March 12.
2 "The Wind Rises" is a lyrical animated historical fantasy from Hayao Miyazaki, best known for such children's classics as"Spirited Away." While the film's artistry is incontestable, many viewers are distressed by its subject: the life of aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, designer of a fighter plane used in the Pearl Harbor attack. Set before World War II begins, "The Wind Rises" doesn't confront the real-world consequence of Jiro's work head-on. It concentrates on his daily business of streamlining wings and staying in touch with far-off family members. Miyazaki delivers a gorgeous, morally difficult adult fable.
4 With even Arcade Fire going the way of disco-rock nowadays, one of the last records we expected to love so much is the debut of yet another danceable indie-rock band. Nashville quintet Wild Cub's record "Youth" (below) immediately rose above the din, though, with infectious, Animal Collective-like psychedelic pop harmonies wrapped around refreshingly non-electronic, urgent, New Orderly grooves. The self-released record was reissued this winter on Mom + Pop Records, and it already stands up as one of the year's feel-good favorites.
5 Director Michael Sommers elevates "Strumply Peter" at Open Eye Figure Theatre into a little visual gem that unlocks old memories of fairy tales and genuine, homemade theater. The story, by Heinrich Hoffmann, is about an elfin sprite who mixes life up for young children. The lead character is not sharply drawn. But this is one of the rare occasions when the sum of atmosphere and iconography is indeed greater than the flawed parts. openeyetheatre.org

16 October (Part 3) - Deaf as posts v thick as planks
Ever since Councillor Peter Craske failed to use his microphone (and hence disabled the hearing loop) in the old Civic Centre and the Mayor said he didn't have to, Bexley Council has been a little more responsive to the needs of the hearing impaired. Mick Barnbrook reported them to the Equalities Commission.
Human Resources Manager Nick Hollier promised that a hearing loop would be provided and to be fair it usually is. The main chamber has one 'plumbed in' and in smaller rooms portable equipment is sometimes provided. Not that it is well received by Mick or his friend Elwyn who both suffer from deafness.
At the Code of Conduct Committee meeting last Wednesday they complained about being unable to hear anything despite the presence of the equipment pictured. I thought I should do some research to find out why.
The portable panel includes a boundary microphone, which is good, and radiates an electromagnetic field for the benefit of suitably equipped hearing aids.
Unfortunately it is unfit for the purpose to which it is put. The device shown radiates that field over a maximum of one square metre - or 1·2 square metres if it is the latest top of the range model.
So now we know why Mick and Elwyn can't hear at the small meetings, they are made to sit too far away. The equipment is intended for use in one to one discussions across a small desk, an interview with a financial adviser in a bank for example. Utterly useless in the circumstances to which Bexley Council habitually use it.
Perhaps the Council should have bought some more (or better) hearing loop panels instead of wasting our money on barriers. Their hearing loop is £99 on Amazon.

When clothing stores start taking over boulangeries.
Le Jardin du Luxembourg
This past week my sister was in Paris to visit and explore the city. It was the first time she was in Europe, let alone Paris, and so it was an exciting time showing her all the food I have come to know and love during my stay here. So here is a basic list of things I think are must-buys if you find yourself in Paris at some point in the near future:
1. A delicious croissant
You're in Paris and you're surrounded by viennoiseries and patisseries, so getting a taste of the flaky goodness that is synonymous with Paris is a must. Keep in mind though that all croissants are not made equal. While even the worst croissant is better than an average croissant back home, you don't want to waste a single calorie or euro on a subpar croissant while in Paris. There's no need. Just do a little research- every arrondissement bosats at least one or two viennoiseries serving croissants au beurre that probably have won some prize.
2. Hot chocolate or coffee
There's one name that comes to mind when you think of hot chocolate in Pairs, and while I don't particularly advocate going there for the [overpriced] hot chocolate, I think a visit to Paris merits a cup of chocolatey goodness. I would avoid getting hot chocolate in touristy cafés as they tend to be overly sugary. But a quick google search can lead you to a good, small café serving hot chocolate for less than 4 euros. For coffee, check out the new "hipster" cafés in Paris normally run by expats from Australia, Brazil, Italy, ..well anywhere but France.
3. Gelato / ice cream /sorbet. There's the classic, Berthillon founded in 1954, as well as plenty of other newer spots. Check out Grom or Pozzetto.
4. Buy a book at Shakespeare & Co. and get it stamped at the register. I haven't done it yet, but I plan on it!
5. Tea from Mariage Frères. Honey or confiture. A jar of caramel beurre salé to recreate the crepe experience back home.
6. Be adventures: Try some escargot, foie gras, oysters or lamb!
7. Explore the yogurt aisle at any supermarket (especially the one at Le Grand Epicerie). The name 'Yogurt' doesn't give it justice. The French have transformed this once plain and boring breakfast sub-category into a food that could easily become a substitue for a guilt-free dessert.
8. Eat real dessert and try macarons from Pierre Hermé, a chausson aux cassis et violet or aux pommes (sort of a knish-shaped pastry filled with a fruit flavoring), or Opera cake for example.
9. Sandwiches are a great option to sample some of the best French products: bread, cheese, meat, spreads, butter, pickles…. all for under 5 euros. If you love cheese, make it your mission to try as many different varieties as you can every time you order a salad, sandwich, crepe or quiche.
10. Buy some Roger & Gallet products for yourself or as gifts. My favorites are the rose and the green tea scented lotions.
11. Buy a Nespresso machine. Because all the French people have them. Throw in some Repetto ballet flats and some fur for the full effect.
The weather in Paris for the past week has been cold but full of sunshine and has given me false hope that warmer spring weather is just around the corner.(EDIT: As I post this, we just got over a few days of snowy, freezing weather and are now experiencing yet another rise in temperature.. 61 and sunny this Tuesday! ) It will probably be some time before I can leave the house wearing a single or even double layer of clothing but that hasn't stopped me from trying to profit from the absence of gray skies that has plagued Paris everyday since the beginning of winter. I am almost positive I've developed some sort of allergy to my wool scarf.
The seasons have always had a rather measurable affect on my mood. And it's sad to admit that living in Paris has done little to free me from this this tendency. I can't even remember a time before this week when I didn't wake up and bury myself deeper into the covers at the thought of leaving my apartment. I would of course to go to class and go to lunch, but the fact that I've watched five seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 3 seasons of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and 4 seasons of the Real Housewives of New York City since I've been back from Christmas vacation speaks for itself.
I definitely felt and still do feel guilty thinking of all those hours I could have been out and exploring but all I can promise myself now is that I spend every agreeable weathered day from now until the end of May walking aimlessly, walking to explore walking to take photos and walking to lunch spots.
My newly discovered favorite is a cafe on Ile St. Louis. It faces the Notre Dame, close enough to the Pont(bridge) St. Louis to enjoy the music of what is the Parisian version of troubadours as they play their accordions or celli, busy with tourists and natives walking about but it still maintains a certain calmness that you can't find sitting at the terrasse of one of the famous cafes on st Germain.
You're welcome to stay as long as you want and if you orderes one of the overpriced veverages (a cappuccino will run you 5€70 or $7.40!!) you really should stay there for an hour or two. Before the sunlight reached our tables and tanned our faces we were kept warm by the overhead heaters- a staple of almost all parisian cafes. And if that's not enough you could always grab one if the fleece blankets offered by the cafe, which is cute concept but just about as appealing as wearing a sweater that 100 strangers have worn before you and has never been washed.
After spending two and a half weeks in NYC for Christmas vacation and another 2 weeks in Paris pre-Spring semester, this Monday marked la rentrée: the commencement of school in France.
Flying back into Paris in 2013 and settling in again in my room and old routines reminded me of how different this period will be compared to Fall Semester. Being in New York reenergized me and made me approach my experience in Paris differently. I'm not in need of an adjustment period, other than the first few days spent to get over le décalage horaire. And instead of conforming to every social expectation and custom that is typified as the French way to do things, I will be less apologetic about doing the things that I enjoy though not considered 'normale'.
I've been somewhat disappointed with the way Parisiennes dress. I appreciate that the Parisian uniform dictates a clean, well-fitted style and that, contrary to the overwhelming abundance of borough folk I saw in NYC, no one is wearing pajama pants, sportswear, or carpenter jeans. I'm conscious of respecting people's style even if I don't agree with it or find it boring (the more I disagree with your outfit, the more diversity there is!) but the fact that there is such a limited variety in what Parisiennes wear is a bit frustrating knowing that this city is supposed to be one of the fashion capitals. There's little room for daily creativity or innovation when you're in a society, especially as a foreigner, where people generally feel it's their duty to correct you if your appearance or behavior is 'abnormal'.
The main categories of style as worn by women in Paris seem to be of three camps:
A: The young Parisienne rebels with blank, unsmiling faces
B: The young to middle aged 'professional' women usually toting a novel, a shopping bag from Le Bon Marché or a child while coming home on the metro.
and the most daring of them all!
C: The 60+ ladies who will not be slaves to your fashion humdrum!
Camp A: They shop at Zadig et Voltaire, Sandro, H&M and Zara. They wear the same exact styles, in approved colors (black, brown, gray, olive or eggplant), and can't say no to apparel that is studded. They own a pair of black motorcycle boots with studs, sneaker wedges, skinny jeans and cotton fingerless gloves so their hands are always free to text or light up a cigarette. Leather jackets or large fur coats are what she prefers to complement her chunky infinity scarf. And she usually sports long, wavy hair and black eyeliner. She loves a good leather bag with some studs or zippers or the infamous Vanessa Bruno bag with all those sparkles. She broke curfew once two years ago and since that night she has been using fashion as her way to rebel.
Camp B: She's a newly graduated woman searching for work or a middle aged professional who keeps Americans begging the question 'How can I attain that classic, Parisian je ne sais quoi?' The answer does not lie within Chanel number five or grandmother's Hermes vintage scarf (although it could), but Repetto ballet flats or heels no taller than 2 inches (I can attest that footwear higher than 2 inches will cause too much of a rio), opaque tights paired with a pencil skirt, and poncho-styled wool coat. She generally abides to the neutral-colors-and-black-only rule but may surprise you with a flash of blue, red or pink with her cashmere scarf. Her bag of choice comes from Tod's, Lancel, Hexagona, Longchamp or Chanel. Makeup is minimal and confidence is foremost; never look up from your phone or book while on the metro unless you want to surrender your expression of indifference.
Camp C: My favorite group of Parisian woman who inspire me and make me feel like maybe it's okay to stand out. While not all older woman dress super stylishly, most of the time the most daring outfit and the boldest of colors are worn by a woman above the age of sixty. While modest in her choice of skirt lengths and necklines, she is the true rebel when it comes form deviating from fashion norms by wearing prints, colors and flashy accessories. She has the advantage of a stockpile of clothing from different eras including at least 3 different designer bags from each decade and no one can critique her look. She's got moxie and she doesn't think twice about smiling in public. She prefers her hair in a bun and who knows she may even be in your ballet class. (Yes, really!)
This was all in good fun and I hope this doesn't come off as offensive to anyone! I don't think that I dress so incredibly different from the rest of the crowd, but I was definitely more concerned about fitting in with the Parisiennes during the fall than I am now. I have always been one to take some risks even if they were huge mistakes and I am here in Paris to continue said lifestyle.
Maybe I am not really going to be Stacey: La Parisienne and more like Stacey: Hey, I once lived in Paris, can you tell?
Today for lunch I ventured up to Montmartre to try something new. I paced back and forth in front of the display of sandwiches and pastries for ten minutes before choosing.
No, that's not a burnt bun but a Squid ink bun with smoked salmon and ham. You can find this and other buns & baguettes composed of unique ingredients chez Gontran Cherrier.
The verdict: Tasty and unique, although nothing outrageous. But for 5,95€ I expected it to be more filling than it was.
After lunch I went over to Tuileries to wait in line for a table at La Maison Angelina for a cup chocolat chaud à l'ancienne.
The verdict: The hot chocolate was definitely chocolatey and good quality, but I personally found it so sweet and rich, rendering it undrinkable. I might not even mind drinking a thimble of the mixture if just for the experience of it all I wasn't paying 7,50€ (the smaller of the two carafes serves one person or 2 cups of the hot chocolate). It was a special experience to be invited in to this restaurant, with it's early 20th century styled decor and glowing holiday lights. However, if I ever manage to crave hot chocolate before May, I'll be heading over to my "regular spot" on Rue de l'Ecole Medecine for a small cup of bitter hot chocolat.

Monday, 19 October 2015
On Saturday afternoon I made Hannah's sweet potato coconut and chilli soup (delicious, easy), then I made a chickpea and spinach curry with the remaining coconut milk (hmm) whilst listening to Elvis Costello's memoir on audiobook (he is reading it himself and is very very funny and wonderful as you would imagine). On Sunday, we made bolognese for the freezer and a beautiful leg of lamb with baby roast potatoes all of which is frankly astonishing because as frequently documented here I loathe cooking and suck at it, this was simply the magical power of autumn removing my normal personality for a few brief hours.
We also got the jumpers out of the freezer to make room for batch cooking and surrender them once more to the mothbastards, collected two pictures from the framers and bought a new kettle and also a Microplane grater, because I have wanted one since I first read Nigella's How to Cook (which is deliciously prescriptive about tools, I love people who are firm about what you need, see also India Knight writing about pretty much everything and Esther Walker's new blog, which I am greatly enjoying), so that I can make lemon drizzle cake without sacrificing my knuckles to the box grater. And now you are all gagging on my insufferable smugness but fear not because Monday is here and THE DOOM WILL RETURN.
30% there is a Marcolini coffee eclair in the fridge and I can't focus on anything else
10% lunch plotting
10% really want to make this apple pie
10% Dutch exam nerves
10% insufficient layering for ambient temperature
10% goat thoughts
10% desire to Microplane something, anything
10% no to this shite-tastic Halloween display:
(Postscript: my smuggery bubble has just been punctured by realisation that all my bags of nutritious batch cooked soup have adhered themselves to the freezer drawer wall so firmly, it is impossible to remove and eat any of them without defrosting the entire sodding thing, fool)
13 comments:
You might could kind of chisel the soup off the sides of the freezer. I have done this, um, more than once. It works!
The SP apple pie is very very good. Very. It's an excellent fall food. Lattice tops are less of a hassle than they seem like they'll be.

Very impressed with the autumnal domestic goddessery. Whip the freezer drawer out and apply some warmth to the side (hot water bottle?) and bob will be your uncle. Insufficient layering here as well but zero goat thoughts. I'm in a rat zone at the moment. CJ xx

Pour a bit of hot water on the frozen together bags and then hit them with something, violently. That should do it.

Waffle: I am SO GLAD you are back to posting almost every day! I missed you. I live in the US, deep in the desert, and your Belgian life is such a wonderful respite from the relentless sunshine and silliness one finds in warmer, US climes.

I love that you are all getting stuck into my soup/freezer dilemma. The problem is that the plastic bags of soup are in the freezer DOOR and have also expanded to take up all possible available space, so I can't get eg a chisel or knife in to chip out.

Freezer bags are the Devil's work (with a capital D). You're far better off with a mismatched hotch-potch of yellowing pseudo-tupperware containers and lids that fall on top of your head every time you open the cupboard over the sink.
My offspring once helped herself to one of these decrepit tupperwares of shame and filled it with some homemade baking before visiting a friend. The mother of the friend made sure to tell me that she had washed the tupperware container before returning it to my daughter. The friend lives in a mansion and I'm sure that all her mother's tupperware collection is the real thing, with new colour-coded matching lids. On the way home to my humble and slatternly abode I blushed every time I imagined the posh lady scrubbing the disgusting old container and had a stern chat with my daughter about asking me for a suitable one the next time. Since then I replaced the lot, obviously. However, she told me that the entire family ate the muffins she had baked so they can't have been that grossed out, can they?

I have heard you can use a Microplane (TM/MD) to REMOVE SKIN FROM YOUR FEET, but have not tried it. Parmesan. Chocolate. Zest. Callouses. All become clouds of delicious while your knuckles remain intact. What a time to be alive !

Interiors fascinate me. The overwhelming majority of my interiors is empty, without of people – as much as I love painting people I find a beauty in the simplicity of a bare building.
Each interior has their own story to tell, a delightful interplay between light and dark – without both, there would be no form.

Mercury, also known as methylmercury, is typically unavoidable when you eat most types of fish, including tuna. The substance forms in water as it reacts with specific types of bacteria. As the tuna fish swim along, their bodies absorb the mercury from the water. Your system should be able to flush out excess mercury on its own. But if you do experience side effects from mercury, the damage is irreversible. As long as you stop eating tuna and other high-mercury foods, the severity of the problems shouldn't get any worse.
Loss of Certain Senses
Mercury can build up in your blood over an extended period of time. If you continuously consume mercury-rich tuna, you might gradually start having problems with your vision or hearing. You may have trouble focusing, see blurry objects or struggle to hear someone conversing with you from a close distance. As mercury continues to accumulate, in extreme cases, you could become completely blind or deaf.
Neurological Problems
As your mercury level goes up if you regularly consume tuna, you may start noticing some neurological abnormalities. You could lose your coordination, find it difficult to walk and have very tight muscles and stiff joints. Symptoms sometimes appear on one side of the body or in just one arm or leg. These are warning signs of cerebral palsy, a group of brain and nervous system disorders. Depending on the exact diagnosis, some types of cerebral palsy are associated with seizures, learning disabilities, difficulty speaking, irregular breathing, incontinence and hearing or vision problems.
Growth Issues
During periods of rapid growth, like during pregnancy, infancy or childhood, mercury is of great concern. Mercury can inhibit cellular division, leading to a halt in cell growth. Problems with neurological development and brain growth could form in your growing fetus or child. As a result, your little one may end up with an abnormally small head and possibly intellectual delay.
Tuna in Your Diet
Nearly all types of tuna contain some level of mercury. But white albacore tuna usually has up to three times as much mercury as canned light tuna. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends limiting yourself to no more than 6 ounces of albacore tuna weekly. Mercury levels in fresh-caught tuna steak depend on where it comes from, such as whether it is farm-raised or wild. Because tuna steak often has more mercury than canned light tuna, you should also limit yourself to just 6 ounces weekly. These strict recommendations are particularly important for children and women of childbearing age, although they're suggested for everyone to follow.

There is the Great Barrier Reef, there is Sydney with its iconic Opera house and beautiful northern beaches and finally there is Byron Bay popularly known as the healing town.
Many world famous beaches embellish Australian landscape. So the temptation of rolling surf, turquoise waters and the white sand of Byron Bay may not be too enticing for some. However, what's unique with Byron Bay is the Bohemian influence, open culture, beautiful natural ambiance along with healing and wellness programs. As a result, it is
the melting pot of many festivals, hub for artists, a vibrant center for gourmet food, unique shops and alternative health therapies.
Surrounded by protected nature reserves, marine parks and rain forests, Byron Bay is a nature lover's paradise. Sights of dolphins and turtles are quite common while pods of humpback whales pass through the ocean during their migrations. Voted as one of the top 25 world sexiest beaches in Forbes Traveler website, Byron bay attract tourist of all ages. Nature conservation programs and eco-conscious council have made it possible for the national parks, rain-forest and ocean to perpetuate their splendor with variety of life and color.
It is a unique place where ocean meets the rain-forest. The lush forests, the cleanest of waterfalls and lakes, mystic mountains and pristine beaches reverberates a natural calm in the environment making it popular for its natural healing. The healing town got its name long time ago, from the Bundjalung aboriginals who used to come and still come to give birth to babies in this town. From aboriginals, to hippies with dreadlocks then surf culture and now as a celebrity destination, Byron bay has come a long way. Although urban sprawl is in full swing in Byron, it retains the laid-back ambiance with welcoming beaches and lush tropical landscapes.
Beautiful beaches allow fantastic opportunities for diving, snorkeling, and whale watching not to mention world famous surf. Plenty of tour operators offer airborne adventures that capture the panoramas of beautiful rain-forests, mountains and oceans. Luxurious health, spa and wellness retreats, unique film and art festivals and last but not least great local cafes invite tourists into a uniquely beautiful holiday.

Photographer's Note
The vast expanse of water which is the Sterkfontein Dam lies a few kilometres from the edge of the Drakensberg Escarpment. The cool, fresh, deep waters makes it a popular angling spot. It is the third largest dam in South Africa providing a perfect playground for sailing and other watersports. The surrounding landscape is scenically stunning - characterised by rugged mountains, lush ravines and rolling grasslands.

"Would I Lie to You?" Buy Now! http://amzn.to/1J43hTL
I know, I know…but the post title is what gets tweeted etc. So I need to make sure I'm logging as much flogging as I can, with a new title out. Did I mention I have a new book out?
(That keeps WordPress from hogging my page with a giant Amazon link, esp. since I dont' get paid for the referral.)
I'm having a better time this round with the "post-pubbing depression" phase. It's always a series of death agonies when your book has been out for TWO DAYS and you're not #1 yet, because obviously it never will be, and nobody's gonna read it because successful authors all have 50 5 star reviews on release day, and so, it was all for nothing, I might as well quit :). (I actually did see an author on Facebook who announced his retirement, since some publisher rejected his latest works…I thought, what's wrong with you! Just self publish, dummy! You're better off anyway!)
But unlike when I was a wee slip of a smutketeer with no backlist and no fans and no reputation, this time I've got a better start out the gate. I'm still not doing all the shit I'm supposed to be doing (sitting on the finished product while I disti ARCs, do the preorder thing, etc.), but I am on the road to doing some of it. My buddy Evan J. Xavier is now in the webpage biz, and he's working on my Real, Legit Website which will even incorporate Mailchimp and a newsletter and all that good stuff… Honestly, it's amazing that I've been as successful as I am without all that. So…imagine what might come next…
"Have a Little Faith in Me" garnered 60+ reviews in just a few months, whereas it took a year or more for my other novels to get that many. So, I'm movin' on up.
And now the question is, what next? Officer Joe has dominated my creative consciousness for a few weeks now, and I've started my research for his story. But. This time around with "Lie" I finally gave the people what they want, i.e., a series. And the problem with that is, if they love the first one, they're immediately hungry for MORE. So, financially ideally, if "Lie" really flies, I should drop everything to write the next one.
But. I don't want to just crank something out to have it out. That's why I waited on the last stepfucker story until I knew it would be good, and decided #7 was it, end of the line. My subconscious needs TIME to get the story for #2. There are a lot of unanswered questions I left open at the end of #1, and I don't have the answers, either.
The only thing that's come to me so far is around this picture, one of the Complete Jesse Collection that I downloaded from the stock photo site. Somehow or another, in #2, we'll be seeing "Professor Jesse." After all, he did announce in #1 that he was the new Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime…
I can't believe how quickly #1 happened – I checked the file properties, and discovered that the manuscript was created on March 10…and I finished on April 22! HOLY SHIT I WROTE A NOVEL IN SIX WEEKS. Well, I had 17k of outline by March 10, but still. Wow! Amazing what you can accomplish without a day job dragging you down. And, I've lost sixteen pounds since I quit my job! Life is great! Everyone should quit their job! 🙂
So, for now, I think I'm going to run on three tracks – Officer Joe ideas, "Lie #2" ideas, and "Ryan the Escort" ideas. I'm pretty firm on Joe being next in line, but you know how shit changes around here. Everything took a back seat to stepfuckers for a while there, when that was red hot. But, again, Good Wine Takes Time, so I want Lie 2 to ferment as long as it needs to. And shit, if I'm still writing as fast as I am now? I can put Joe out, and then Lie 2, both before the end of the summer…

Diuretics are a broad group of medications that increase the urine filtration in the kidneys. The diuretics have different mechanisms of action, they usually increase loss of certain ions into the urine (especially sodium and potassium), which also causes excessive fluid loss.
Seemingly banal effect of these drugs has a huge impact in treatment of many diseases, especially those associated with accumulation of fluid in the body. A classic example is acute and chronic heart failure. Failing heart does not adequately pump the blood, which accumulates in the body. The result is shortness of breath and swelling. The diuretics increase fluid loss into the urine, thereby relieving the heart and causing disappearance of the symptoms. Similar effect has diuretic therapy in liver cirrhosis, when the portal hypertension causes formation of ascites. In addition, diuretics are used in combined therapy of high blood pressure.
The main side effect is potential dehydration, which may occur in too high dose of diuretic. Another possible result is a significant drop of blood pressure with weakness, dizziness and risk of fainting. Some stronger diuretics may damage kidney tissue and worsen the chronic renal failure. Another disadvantage is disruption of internal environment of the organism and ion imbalance. Especially dangerous are changes of serum level of potassium (hyperkalemia, hypokalemia).
Used diuretics
Diuretics divide into several subgroups according to their specific effect.
Loop diuretics
These drugs are commonly used in heart failure. They have a very powerful effect, causing great loss of fluid, sodium and potassium. These diuretic can be administered in both oral and intravenous form. Main used substance is furosemide. In acute heart failure with massive swelling and shortness of breath (or even in lung edema), the loop diuretics are usually administered intravenously (intermittently or continuously) to ensure rapid and strong effect.
Main disadvantage is large loss of potassium, which may result in hypokalemia. Possible complications of this condition can be found in the relevant article.
Thiazide-type diuretics
These are less aggressive diuretics, which are used more for less severe forms of long-term heart failure and in treatment of hypertension. Again, they may cause excessive losses of ions and fluid, but not as dramatic as the loop diuretics. The basic substances of this group are hydrochlorothiazide and indapamide.
Potassium-sparing diuretics
This group includes compounds such as spironolactone and compound amiloride. They have different mechanisms of action, but both increase the fluid loss by increased sodium excretion. Great thing is that these diuretics reduce the potassium loss into urine and increase the potassium concentration in blood. This may be either beneficial, or problematic. Potassium-sparing diuretics are great in combination with loop diuretics (see above) to prevent hypokalemia. On the other hand, they may cause dangerous hyperkalemia.
Diuretics are very important drugs in therapy of heart failure and hypertension. However, it is advisable to repeatedly monitor patient's blood minerals and blood pressure after the beginning of diuretic therapy to prevent the above-mentioned complications.

In 2008, NHMCCD changed its name to Lone Star College System, and Montgomery College became Lone Star College-Montgomery. As then-college president Dr. Tom Butler noted in his speech at the new logo unveiling, "In the end, it doesn't really matter what we're called. It matters more what we're called to do. And that is to help our students improve their lives through learning." That is -- and always will be -- the college's focus as it moves forward.
Later in 2008, Dr. Butler left to become president at Victoria College (Victoria, TX). An interim president (Penny Westerfeld) was named for the 2008-09 academic year. This was an eventful year for several reasons. First, a major hurricane devastated much of the area, including the LSC-Montgomery campus, which closed for a week to recover from flooding, downed trees, and lack of electricity. Later in the year, a new bond referendum was passed that resulted in the most significant campus expansion in its history. This included construction of three new buildings on the main campus, as well as a new northside center in the Conroe/Willis area - a new LSC-Conroe Center. The college added a new 75,000-square-foot academic classroom building; a 60,000-square-foot health science center; a 20,000-square foot arts instructional building; and a 1,000-space parking garage to handle growth on the main campus. An 83,000-square-foot, full-service satellite facility in Conroe allows the college to extend its reach to the north, where significant population growth is taking place. The new LSC-Conroe Center offers a mix of academic transfer courses and programs, as well as workforce- and industrial–oriented programs. All told, by 2011, when the new buildings opened, the college increased its total square footage by almost 60 percent.
The college was also honored recently as a "Hometown Hero" by The Woodlands Development Company, and received the prestigious "Drum Major Award" sponsored by the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration that is held annually in The Woodlands. In 2009, LSC-Montgomery was named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the hightest federal recognition a college can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning, and civic engagement. The college was also selected to participate in Foundations of Excellence, a prestigious program designed to evaluate and revitalize the campus' services for first-year services.
Dr. Austin Lane, formerly vice president for student affairs at Tyler Junior College, was hired in 2009 as LSC-Montgomery's third president following an extensive, nationwide search.
"Our continuous growth is a reflection of the commitment to excellence that our faculty and staff exhibit every day for our students," said Dr. Lane during the college's celebration of its 15th anniversary in 2010. "I talk all the time about taking LSC-Montgomery to new heights. They are the ones making it happen."
From 2010-14, Dr. Lane led the college's extensive strategic planning and visioning efforts, helping the college manage continual growth, and rallying community support for the passage of a 2014 bond referendum that would take LSC-Montgomery into the future with exciting new opportunities.
