We have had several conversations recently with various industry stakeholders and we would like to encourage you to consider the following:
BLENDED SITE ADJUSTMENTS: In recent conversations with the Bank of Montreal, BOM has stated that the blended adjustments for site value are no longer acceptable to them, and they are requesting that adjustments, and the comments associated with them address the specific components that contribute to the adjustment(s).
Please ensure that when completing appraisal assignments for this client, that the site adjustments and comments reflect their requirements.
TENANT OCCUPIED PROPERTIES: The question about the ownership rights being appraised, in tenant occupied properties, keeps coming up. If a property is tenant occupied, then the owner has surrendered part of their ownership rights, (the right to occupy) and therefore no longer has the full bundle of rights (Fee Simple). In such a case, the normal course of action is for the appraiser to consider the LEASED FEE interest of the property, and appraise it as such. This would typically require the use of tenant occupied comparable sales for consideration, etc. HOWEVER some clients (lenders such as BMO) require that the Fee Simple interest in a property be the basis of the appraisal assignment. In such cases, the appraiser is still to indicate that the property is Tenant Occupied, however the ownership rights being appraised are FEE SIMPLE. The appraiser simply needs to include a statement such as: "At the request of the client, the subject property is being valued considering the Fee Simple interest, and the Leased Fee interest in the property has not been addressed in this appraisal assignment." See USPAP FAQ #217
21 August 2017
FIND AN APPRAISER: Some lenders, and AMC's are having difficulty finding appraisers in certain market segments, and searches on the website are not producing results reflective of the areas of service of our members. Please log-in to your profile on the website, and update your coverage areas so that current and prospective clients are able to find you!

He duels, he brawls, he helps cows to give birth. And in between he makes films. Serbian director Emir Kustirica talks to Fiachra Gibbons about politics, his art - and the war. When he's not brawling on the streets of Belgrade with men who make Arkan look like Mary Poppins, challenging people to duels, or playing in Serbian rock bands, Emir Kusturica is winning the Palme D'Or at Cannes. No other director has ever won it twice, not even Fellini. Kusturica idolises, maybe even fancies himself as a Fellini. But the pudgy little Italian would never have had the balls to be Emir Kusturica.
Few would. It is no exaggeration to say that a lot of people would like to see the maker of Underground and The Time of the Gypsies dead. He is, in fact, lucky to be alive. In 1993 he challenged Vojislav Šešelj, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Radical party, now part of Milošević's government, to a duel. He said it should be in the heart of Belgrade, at high noon, with the weapon of his choosing. Šešelj refused, saying he "he didn't want to be accused of the murder of an artist". Two years later he punched Nebojsa Pajkić, leader of the equally bloodcurdling New Serbian Right movement, to the ground. Pajkić's wife battered Kusturica with her handbag, a gift from her "dear friend" Radovan Karadžić, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs who is now wanted for war crimes. The feuds do not end with his political opponents. Many have been with former friends. "Kusturica is the greatest traitor to Bosnia" one told me. Another said he was a "war criminal, a Chetnik arselicker, a puppet of Milošević… It makes me puke to think of him." The French philosopher Bernard-Henri Livy even made a film to attack him. "You will not find anyone in Sarajevo with a good word for him," he said. I did. Several actually. All spoke of his courage, his integrity and his temper. "He is no one's puppet, least of all Milošević's," said a former colleague from Sarajevo TV. "People who say that are blind with hatred. He has always gone his own way. He has a powerful sense of humour. You know, it is so sharp it frightens, that's why he makes enemies."
The survivors of his exhausting shoots are equally divided. "Emir kills himself for his films. And if you work for him he will kill you too." He has had at least one breakdown; more a burn-out actually, during the making of his brilliant but shambolic American debut, Arizona Dreams. Kusturica is a man perpetually on the point of combustion.
We met the day Nato bombed the convoys of Kosovan refugees and blamed it on the Serbs. I toyed for a moment with the idea of not mentioning the war when he barrelled in, a great bearded bear with a half-chewed cigar sticking out of his mouth like a Balkan Castro. You can see him carrying a Kalashnikov as easily as a camera until you look into his eyes. They are the largest, softest, brown eyes I've ever seen on a man. There is something sad and very vulnerable in them. If I were a woman, I'd have gone weak at the knees. So tell me, how does it feel to belong to the most hated nation on earth - after the English, of course. A plate smashed on to the floor behind us. He didn't laugh. Instead his head dropped into his hands. "Terrible, terrible, terrible! I think this might be the end of the world, you know. Tell me, why bomb bridges?" "Listen, my heart cannot resist these Albanian refugees, the pictures of fathers, mothers and crying kids, but I also had my heart broken watching Serbian refugees leaving Croatia. Nearly half a million of them were kicked out of Knin and Krajina, with American backing, in one weekend. And do you know what Le Monde called it? 'Self-motivated ethnic cleansing'. There is a human level here that is being ignored."
"It is incredible. Nato didn't help the Albanians and they have only strengthened Milošević. This Robin Fook. Who is this Robin Gook?… 'We don't want your Serb crocodile tears about the attack on the convoys,' he was saying on the news today. The English nation are a gentle nation, whom I greatly admire, but this man is a small, hairy muppet. How can you let him represent you ?" I tell him that despite his gnomic looks, Cook is considered a Casanova. "You mean women want to have sex with him? How could they take him into their beds ? What kind of women have you in England? I would rather go with a goat." And he laughs his great soft laugh. "I'm sorry, I do not mean to be disrespectful," and he waves his hand like an apologetic pasha.
Kusturica is a former Sarajevan rocker and TV satirist, of mixed Serb and Muslim blood, who clings to forlorn hope of a multi-ethnic Yugoslavia. Kusturica is embarrassed by his reputation, but unapologetic. "I am very impulsive and very stupid sometimes, but I am very clean." He's not just passionate - there is a generosity of thought and spirit about him. "My son 1) is now a big Serb because of Nato, but there is not the blood of one nation of Yugoslavia that does not flow through him. The stupid thing is that Serbia is the only one which is multi-ethnic. Most of the rest are ethnically-cleansed mini-states. Not a single Serb survives in Croatia. And now the cowboys are killing us. Nearly 40%, you know, are not Serbs - Croats, Hungarians, Muslims, Greeks." I say there are a lot less Albanians now. "That is Milošević. Serbia is not Milošević, although Nato are now turning him into a saint. The west have made him into this Orwellian character and they try to play Orwellian games with him. But Milošević can only play at being a Slav, or a peasant. They are turning him into Tito who stood up to Stalin in 1948. And, of course, we have this problem in us that we like resisting. The Serbs are not a nation of murderers. They have contributed so much to western culture; Nobel prizes, five world champion basketball teams, and what about the physicist Nikola Tesla? His work on the ionosphere made it possible for Cruise missiles now to drop on Belgrade."
"You know, I have a friend, Milo Djukanović 2), who we democrats have great hopes of against Milošević, but the bombs have minimised him. But you know the cowboys, they must win. I was reading an article by an American Democratic senator who said the war was a big mistake, it should never have happened - but we must win! I live in Normandy, and the next day I was helping a cow give birth. She couldn't do it herself. I had to pull it out. I wondered what kind of worl d is it that a cow has to be helped to do the most natural thing. Are we like that cow that we cannot think for ourselves any more? All we are are good receptors to the new religion of Hollywood and CNN. I am very scared. And I don't know if I can stay here and pay taxes for bombs to be dropped on my son."
We are in the darkened corner of an empty room at the back of Paris's oldest Jewish restaurant. Portraits of long-dead rabbis and their beards stare out of the gloom, reproaching us. I wonder for a while if he is trying to draw down the mantle of the Holocaust on his own people. But does Kusturica have a people any more? "You don't know what the war did to a mixed family like mine. I started moving towards Serbia when I felt my country, Yugoslavia, was being taken away from me. My feeling of nationality was not as strong as those around me who were attaching themselves to these absurb new entities… And, of course, I could not speak Bosnian," he drawls. Bosnian, like Croat, is an artificial creation, presently being "purified" of anything that smacks of the old Serbo-Croat. The mortar attack on the marketplace in Sarajevo was the turning point for him. Kusturica claims it was self-inflicted to bring the west into the war. "I rang one of my friends and he said, 'I don't know who is worse, the Serbs shelling us from the mountains, or the Muslims defending us.' It was like we were tearing out our limbs as well as our brains."
Which is why his "betrayal" is so bitterly felt in his home town and why he will always be seen by some as a lackey of Belgrade. "I am not trying to say I'm a genius, but Underground was the strongest attack there has been on Milošević. It is about a man who locks his friends in a cellar for 40 years and convinces them that the war is still going on. He uses them, but they still think he is a great guy. And this was shown in every cinema in Serbia." It is to the Gypsies he now feels his greatest attachment. "They are the most despised and the free-est people of all. They are hated equally by everybody, yet they have no prejudices themselves. They call their kids after communists and after John F Kennedy. They are medieval but they have mobile phones. I love them, they hold my heart." Gypsies feature in several of his films, including the latest, a rip-roaring comedy called Black Cat, White Cat. Again, he has been attacked for making a comedy while Milošević was still in power.
I loved it. So did Guardian critic Jonathan Romney. "Every time it slacks for a second someone throws in a goat and several geese," Romney said. Or someone tries unsuccessfuly to hang themselves - a motif of his work. Why? "I had a teacher in Prague who told me you tell a good movie from a bad one by the fact that in good ones every character look s like they are running out of gravity. I thought, why don't I really make people levitate, like Chagall?" he says, pointing to the nodding rabbis. "That is why maybe I'm a troublemaker making movies, because each shot has to be for me an original. It murders me."
In the flesh, he is like one of his wild heroes, only more so - part god, part peasant, part philosopher. Throw in the psychopath and he'd be the perfect well-rounded Slav, as he might say. And it is the Slav mind that really worries him. The Russian one in particular. "I am shit scared where this will all end. As Bismark says, Italy always betrays and Russia always comes late. Russia to me is now like a beggar. In one hand it has nuclear weapons, in the other a begging bowl. If it all blows, it will be from an irrational thing." When I bring up his most recent feud, with the Serb director Goran Paskaljević, thunder breaks over his face and he looks like all of the great Slav bogeymen rolled into one, from Rasputin to Ivan the Terrible. It is only then that I notice the scar twitch under his right eye. Paskaljević claims Kusturica tried to stop his film Powderkeg, about a day in the life of Belgrade, from being shown at the Venice Film Festival. Kusturica admits to a bit of gamesmanship but says this was "only after he started attacking me at every turn, accusing me of being a mouthpiece of Milošević just to get attention for himself. I did not try to stop his film. I simply told the producer we shared that he would have to choose between me and that jerk in future. You know, the world is full of assholes. Paskaljević is one. Here in France we have Bernard-Henri Levy. He is a vulture. He is now somewhere safe near Kosovo being a 'witness'. I think he was dying to be a witness at Clinton's meeting with Lewinsky in the Oval Office." The girl from Renault wants him to wind up. He's making an advert. "I have to live. My films don't make a lot of money and since the war I have a lot of people to support." He doesn't want to go. Two thoughts have been bothering him. "You know, with the billions they have spent on the war so far they could have taken every Albanian and Serb in Kosovo to the Bahamas, and they could have listened to some reggae, sang, drank, f and be happy. Our industry and economy could have been rebuilt and everyone would have kissed each other."
Then his head drops into his hands again. "Kosovo is where the Battle Of the Field Of The Blackbirds happened. The Serbs sacrificed themselves to save Europe from the Turks. It was inconclusive, and many lives were lost on both sides. I fear this will happen again." He gets up and gives out a sigh: "I am never going to make another interview. And I feel with the war I should not make another film." I tell him he has threatened that before but still came back for more. I tell him I can't wait to see his new film - which he has yet to start - DM Thomas's sprawling White Hotel, from Dennis Potter's script. "But I'm serious this time," he says, looking genuinely hurt. "Remember the next time you go to war," he says finally, stretching out his shovel of a hand to me, "please get a better looking foreign minister." And he sticks his stogie back in his mouth and smiles the cheesiest grin. "And the next time you want someone to write against me in the Guardian, let me do it. I am my best enemy."

Earlier this month, Ottawa's very own JChinnasz dropped his highly anticipated E.P. 'lovamon' following his well-received single, "Bloor".
J has proved himself to be one of the most poppin' artists in Ottawa, due his popularity and the coolness that he exudes, not just in his music but also in person. Any time he walks in a room, most people already know who he is and he can be seen dapping it up with multiple people from multiple scenes as he goes around the room.
As a fairly recent artist, he's already had his fair share of shows, visuals, and features, something not many other artists in the city can say for themselves. If anything, after going on a tour where he actually ventured out of Ottawa, it seems J might be one of the first to make it out of the city.
Fortunately, CityinThree got the opportunity to sit down with J and talk about his latest project, featuring an in-depth explanation of each track and the story behind it. We used this opportunity to focus the whole conversation on the E.P. and his experience working on the project with artists such as, JUWN, Sean Bay, Cashtro Crosby, Freddy Printz, and more. As J puts it, 'lovamon' feels like one long argument with your girl, hence the title, so the vibes are very chill – distancing him from some of his earlier sounds.
That said, I'll let J tell the rest of the story for himself.
Meet JChinnasz.

I've traveled the flight between Kathmandu and Lukla on a number of occasions but what made the journey unique this time were the startling views – a patchwork of orange, yellow and blue tarps scattered across the rolling hills and between the rubble remains of destroyed homes and villages littered across the countryside.
We slept in tents (along with most of Monjo and Jorsalle) on the front lawn of the 'Monjo Guest House'. From its exterior, the main building of the guesthouse appeared to have survived unscathed. A quick look inside revealed that all was not as it seemed - literally all the interior walls and a large part of the roof had caved in. The entire building is unsafe and will have to be rebuilt. The glass and timber built dining room suffered little to no structural damage.
Perhaps one of the hardest hit buildings by the earthquake is the guesthouse of popular and rather iconic Café Daphne – the site of many a post-climb celebration. Whilst the main bar area and internet café remains intact (albeit with a very wobbly wooden floor), the old stone-built sleeping quarters have been completely destroyed. Efforts are already underway to rebuild and have as much of the building open and safe for tourists coming through in the Autumn.
Offering countless cups of tea, the kind and weather-beaten couple never said it directly but the worries were clear in their eyes – how would they ever begin to rebuild their home?
Whilst the trail was free from objective hazards, we continued to be vigilant for rockfall and landslides and would advise others traveling through the region in the foreseeable future to do the same.
When we passed through the checkpoint entrance to Sagamartha National Park we were told that we were the 5th trekkers to pass through the gates in 5 days. Not a promising figure for a region which, in April 2014, welcomed 7,208 trekkers and in May, 1,392 trekkers – (these figures do not reflect expeditions which would add another 1,500 to those numbers). In total the Khumbu welcomes through its park entrance over 35,200 trekkers per year. The lack of revenue generated by trekking permits and park entrance fees will certainly be felt.

The voluptuous beauty mentioned in my October 24 post, "Sexy Pumpkin," was beginning to get a little green around the edges. I decided to try roasting her for an upcoming slate of pumpkin muffins on the Thanksgiving menu. I've had success with roasting brussels sprouts whole on the stalk, so I decided to just plop the whole pumpkin in the oven. Here she is before going into heat, reflecting in all her majestic glory. The operation was a success, kind of. The pumpkin flesh was easily cut and scooped after baking, and no fingers were severed. However, it was indescribably tasteless and bitter. I'm not sure whether I went wrong with choice of pumpkin, her age, or my cooking method. But the object lesson is sometimes it's better to admire than consume.
Them Apples, Reykjavik
Speaking of cool fruit (see my previous posts on Purple Carrots and Jumbo Blueberries), I was struck by the ability of this decaying green apple to paint a Cy Twombly-inspired line. The apple was nailed to the wall along with other fruits and vegetables in the exhibit, "Kitchen Pieces," by German conceptual artist Karin Sander at i8 Gallery in Reykjavik (the exhibit closed September 24, 2016). The veggies wilted under pressure, but this inspired apple took a strong painterly stand. I was pretty impressed by its confident use of positive and negative space, along with its bold improvisation in response to a wall environment. Critics of avant garde art like to dismiss things with "My kid could do that!" Now I might answer, "But could your apple?"
Jumbo Blueberries, Family Tree Farms
Audiences know that if there is a gun in the first act, it has to go off in the third act. I took this photo of jumbo blueberries near a transparent push pin to show their super sizing (one-inch wide!) but realized I had also made a portrait of dramatic tension. It amazed me how juxtaposition of two common household objects easily suggests a plot. The blueberry's moist, tender skin looks so vulnerable near the tack's sharp steel point that your mind can't help connecting them in unfortunate ways. But, spoiler alert, the pin didn't kill those blueberries in the end. It was teeth that got them.
Purple Carrots, Black Dirt Region
Orange is the new purple. Or at least when it comes to carrots. I bought these beauties from the Black Dirt Region (spanning southern Orange County, NY to northern Sussex County, NJ) after a friend and I decided those convenient bags of machine-cut carrots had more in common with large pencil stubs than they did with vegetables. The funny thing is that purple carrots are actually the authentic carrot color (along with white), but Dutch growers decided in the 16th century to breed to orange. Purple carrots are more nutritious, with 28 times the amount of antioxidants, according to the Carrot Museum website and they also color coordinate well with my winking Blue Eyes granite countertop. They're quite amusing to scrape and hilarious to mash. Hey, do you think they grow better in Purple Rain?
Farm Credits, Palo Alto
Let's face it, farm credits (as in menus, not government loans) have had their day. In his hilarious Vanity Fair article, "What Does Farm-to-Table Mean Anymore?" food journalist Corby Kummer debunked many of the pretensions behind the F2T trend last year, one of which is endless lists of artisanal food sources. Nonetheless, these breakfast menu credits at Mayfield Bakery and Cafe in Palo Alto made me smile. Perhaps inspired by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's closing voiceovers ("made possible by viewers like you"), these gracious credits put the emphasis down on the farm.
Meals That Don't Walk
I have always found the word "pescetarian" kind of a clunky, affected way to describe the way I choose to eat. I've also learned the hard way not to answer the question of why I gave up meat, chicken and turkey as other people chow down on it around you. These good people ask out of curiosity but always end up arguing your answer. Plus, it seems kind of cold on my part to relate the horrors of factory farming, climate change from cow farts, water over-consumption and my empathy for animal souls to someone digging into a juicy steak. I don't judge other people for their food choices, and I don't want to be judged for mine. So I've learned to say, "I'd love to talk about it later," and then I take the subject off the table, so to speak.
A friend of mine told me she simply says, "I just don't like it." No one can debate that.
Today I saw this clever company name on a delivery truck parked on a Manhattan street and thought, holy cow, what a great idea. Now I'm no longer a fancy pescetarian. I'm just someone who only eats meat without feet.

Thai Herbal Pharmacy is an important element of Thai Traditional Medicine, alongside Thai Massage. (The other elements are Medical, i.e. diagnostics and treatment, and Midwifery.) While at Wat Po School in Salaya I learnt a little about Thai Herbalism, and the preparation of compresses, which we then used in massage.
The main ingredients are:
- Kassumunar (Plai in Thai) - a member of the same family as ginger, and the main ingredient in Tiger Balm. This is skin nourishing, eases muscle pain, fatigue and bruising, and is anti-inflammatory.
- Lemongrass – this is antiseptic and a digestive tonic that alleviates nausea and eases pain.
- Kaffir Lime Peel – a general skin tonic, and can help with dizziness.
- Natural Camphor – brown camphor, derived from the bark of a tree, rather than chemically produced. It aids indigestion and relieves coughs.
Other herbs such as turmeric, acacia leaves and tamarind leaves can also be used.
The wet ingredients are pounded to break them down and release the beneficial substances they contain.
Next is the tricky bit – tying the herbs into a muslin cloth, so that they are held firmly, and creating the handle to hold the compress when it is hot. It took several goes and a lot of help from the experts to get this right!
Compresses can also be made from the same ingredients but dried. These need to be soaked before their first use. They have the advantage of being transportable and of keeping for a long time.
The compresses I use are therefore dried, and come either from the Wat Po school shop, or were made for me by my Thai Herbalism tutor at the school, Teacher Nang.
To use the compresses, they are steamed. This heats and moistens them, and releases the herbs' properties (and wonderful smells!). The compresses are then used to massage the body, either directly on the skin or through clothing or cloths. Initially the compress can only be touched briefly onto the skin, but as the compress cools, longer and deeper massages can be used. When the compress is no longer warm, it is swapped with another in the steamer and the massage continues.
As the compress is so gentle, it is ideal for situations when normal massage is too strong, such as injuries, painful or damaged joints, or in elderly clients. It is very soothing, and in cold weather, a warming, comforting treat.

You've probably indulged in a shot of your favorite libation at a summertime party or on a vacation adventure. But have you given your hair the same privilege? Yes – there are shots for your hair! And rather than giving you a headache in the morning, these shots will leave your hair refreshed, shiny and strong, the perfect treatment after a summer of pool visits, beach days and sunshine.
Redken Chemistry Shots – usually just called "shots" around here – are customized treatments your Salon Dexterity stylist mixes up based on your hair's needs (sound familiar, like your favorite talented bartender?). Each shot combines up to 3 specially formulated treatments. These shots come in a variety of "flavors" – for example, there's a shot available to protect, reconstruct and strengthen color-treated hair. Got dry, frizzy hair that's been zapped by the August heat? There's a shot for that, too. And there's even a shot for aging hair, making your summer locks more manageable as you head into the fall season.
Deep treatment for weakened, distressed hair. Contains a concentrated dose of protein that fortifies chemically distressed hair and helps reinforce the internal fiber.
All Soft
Deep treatment for dry, brittle hair. Replenishes moisture balance in hair's keratin for pliability and lasting suppleness, while Argan Oil delivers intense, luxurious softness.
Time Reset
An exclusive age-defying treatment to diminish the signs of aging hair with improved manageability, resilience and brilliance for younger, healthier looking hair.
Color Extend
Deep treatment for color-treated hair. UVA and UVB filters help protect haircolor against fading, while Ceramide helps reconstruct and strengthen hair condition.
Real Control
Deep treatment for dense, dry, sensitized hair. Shea Butter provides smoothness and controls frizz, while Ceramide strengthens and protects hair.
Smooth Lock
Deep treatment provides smoothness, deep conditioning and heat protection to restore very dry, unruly hair types with improved manageability, frizz-free smoothness and shine.
With this wide variety of options, shots are a simple way to add life to hair that isn't feeling so lively for one reason or another. You can add a Chemistry Shot at the shampoo bowl easily, and it only takes about 7 minutes to take effect. The best part - it lasts for several weeks, depending on your hair's needs and how often you shampoo. So, come do a shot with us!

On Eating the Pulp of the Pomegranate
Sulayman b. Muhammad, who performed the call to prayer at the mosque of the Messenger of Allah, blessings of Allah on him and his family, narrated from 'Uthman b. 'Isa al-Kilabi from Isma'il b. Jabir from Ja'far al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, from his pure forefathers from Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, who said: "Eat the pomegranate with its pulp, for it is an abdomenic (dibagh). Every grain of it which settles in the abdomen is life for the heart (al-qalb) and illumination for the soul, and the temptations of Satan are quelled for forty mornings. The pomegranate is among the fruits of Paradise. Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has said:
Therein fruits, and palm trees, and pomegranates (55:68).
From Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, that he said: "Whoever cats pomegranate before sleeping is secure in himself until morning."
From al-Harith b. al-Mughira, that he said: I complained to Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, of a heaviness (thiqal) I felt in my heart (al-fu'ad) and of much indigestion after eating. He said: "Take of this sweet pomegranate and eat it with its pulp for it is good for the abdomen and will cure the indigestion and digest your food."

Flydubai, Dubai's first low cost airline, has announced flights to destination number 22, Erbil in Iraq. Flights to Iraq's third largest city and capital of the Kurdish region of Northern Iraq, will start on Friday, July 16.
Flydubai's CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith, said, "Erbil is reinventing itself and undergoing an economic boom with new hotels, leisure and healthcare facilities, commercial towers and trade centres. The city's rapid development has been compared with that of Dubai and it is a beacon of progress for the rest of the country.
"In 2009, the UAE was the top foreign investor in Iraq and according to reports, the UAE is set to double investment in Iraqi Kurdistan to around Dhs22bn in the next three years. Flydubai's new service will not only help to strengthen the relationship between our two nations but will also give the many Iraqi expatriates living in the UAE another affordable, quality air travel alternative to visit friends and family back home."
More than 6,000 years of history and the region's natural beauty has made it a regional retreat for centuries. With the advent of a more stable period in the country's history and increasing numbers of direct flights, the city is opening its doors to a new wave of travellers and tourists.
Flights to Erbil will operate twice a week on Fridays and Mondays. On Fridays, FZ201 will leave Dubai at 1830hrs, arriving in Erbil after a flight of three hours at 2030hrs local time. FZ202, will depart from Erbil at 2115hrs, landing in Dubai at 0055hrs local time.

Flydubai operates from a modernised and enhanced Terminal 2 on the north side of Dubai International Airport.

4: Rigid Body Rotation
- Page ID
- 6952
No real solid body is perfectly rigid. A rotating nonrigid body will be distorted by centrifugal force* or by interactions with other bodies. Nevertheless most people will allow that in practice some solids are fairly rigid, are rotating at only a modest speed, and any distortion is small compared with the overall size of the body. No excuses, therefore, are needed or offered for analyzing, to begin with the rotation of a rigid body.

Despite me considering myself as the
Simon Cowell of driving
I'm not suggesting me, despite liking many types of music
It's not my thing to judge singers
Here are my 3 choices and why:
Quentin Tarantino, has already been a guest judge and a mentor on American Idol, is obviously opinionated, and knows music like almost no other movie director, and besides it may prevent him from making movies I don't watch anyway.
Hugh Laurie, plays Dr. House, all music on that show is decided by him, he also has his own band, and just like Simon, he's British.
David Foster, there isn't a soul in the industry with more music ability and genius than David Foster, many big time artists were produced by him, and he's no stranger to judging or mentoring singers on reality shows like American Idol and Nashville Star, he literally is music.
I did not number them, because any one of them would be a fine replacement. If they choose them because I said so, then I wouldn't mind the credit.

The lovely people at Raincoast Books recently held their annual winter/spring blogger preview and I was fortunate enough to be able to attend virtually via a special Google Hangout that they created for bloggers not in the Vancouver area.
They filled us in on a bunch of fantastic sounding releases but I am going to highlight just my top five that should be on your radar.
1 - Truthwitch by Susan Dennard (goodreads)
I feel everyone pretty much knows about this one already. The buzz it created at BEA was intense, and it's only rising! A unique twist on 'witches' and magic along with the potential for much swooning and shipping, all make this one a sure bet to be a huge release this winter.
2 - Tell The Wind And Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan (goodreads)
All I needed to be sold on this one was the description that described it as A Tale Of Two Cities with magic. The synopsis sounds amazing, the cover is stunning, and there is the potential for much heartbreak. I am eagerly anticipating getting my hands on this one.
3- Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn (goodreads)
This has been compared to the delightful movie Easy A. It sounds like this novel will have a lot to say about perception, rumours, and sex. It also is a bonus that the author is Canadian!
4- In Real Life by Jessica Love (goodreads)
A road trip to Vegas, the potential of friends turning into romance, and the promise of DRAMA that comes along with meeting someone you met online pushed this book onto my wishlist.
5- Teen Frankenstein by Chandler Baker (goodreads)
This was only mentioned in passing but it is one of my most anticipated books of 2016 so I had to include it. A girl accidentally kills the most popular boy in school, so she decides to bring him back to life! Love the sounds of this Frankenstein reimagining.
BONUS! - The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski (goodreads)
All I am going to say about this one is if you haven't heard The Winner's Curse, and The Winner's Crime you are missing out on an amazing series. Stunning writing, heartbreaking storylines, and a swoon worthy romance have made this one series ender I cannot wait to devour.
At the end there was plenty of talk of Marissa Meyer and how #WinterIsComing as well as a bit regarding the short story collection Stars Above. There was also a brief mention of Heartless which caused me to fangirl and squeal. I cannot wait for this book.
They also gave me a sweet shout out as I had asked Melissa to provide some details about Teen Frankenstein by Chandler Baker. I am VERY curious about this start to a new series and was thrilled to have them mention it because I had asked.
A huge thank you to all the lovely people at Raincoast for putting on the event!
What book from the five I highlighted are you most curious about/excited for? Let me know in the comments.

This show took place on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009. As many may know, San Francisco is P9's Home. Besides most of the members having some sort of "weird" cough and feeling a bit sick, there was still that strength and adrenaline that characterizes the band's live presentations.
I leave you now with the sight i got from this gig.

Carrie has been a teaching artist in NYC for 10 years and a mom for 6 months. She received her MA in Applied Theatre from CUNY School of Professional Studies in 2011. Carrie is currently working for organizations such as TDF, The Roundabout Theatre Company, and The Museum of the City of New York doing playbuilding, and connecting theatre to literacy and the Common Core Standards. Below are her thoughts on the art of mothering:
If you had asked me a year and a half ago, a year ago, even six months ago, how I would feel as a working mother, I would have said: "I love my work as a teaching artist and an applied theater practitioner. I'm passionate about theater and the power of theater to transform, and my child will be proud of me for doing what I love. What an example I will set!"
Fast-forward five and a half months.
I am a mom to a beautiful baby boy, a wife, and a teaching artist. But the super-mom I imagined myself to be does not exist.
Instead, I feel pulled in a million directions. The passion for my work and my students are still there but I am also passionate about my son. I have noticed that when I am working with a difficult group of students, my patience is thin and I wonder why I am not at home with my own son who is probably crying because his first teeth are coming in. When I am planning for my next day's lessons, I feel guilty that I am putting effort into the development of another person's child instead of playing with my own son. I feel guilty all of the time because my passions are split and I can no longer give one hundred percent to my work.
I wonder, how long does the guilt last? How long can I keep fooling everyone—my students, administrators, and teachers—that my thoughts are elsewhere? When I'm playing Walk, Stop, Jump, Clap, can I be fully in the moment and there for the needs of my participants? When will I stop recycling lesson plans and challenge my own creativity again?
I thought the art of applied theatre was challenging but the art of mothering is a feat as well. So, I am currently working on my master's in applied mothering. I'll let you know when I'm ready to share my thesis.
The Master's Degree in Applied Theatre, the first program of its kind in the United States, is a sequential, ensemble-based program for students interested in the use of theatre to address social and educational issues in a wide range of settings. The program stresses the unity of theory and practice, and is linked to the professional applied theatre work of the renowned CUNY Creative Arts Team.

My daughter is very bright but has terrible handwriting...?
She is 10 years old and does very well in school. However, her spelling and handwriting are awful. I keep bringing it to her attention. I don't know if she's just not trying or if it's just impossible for her. Does anyone have any advice or has anyone had similar circumstances? Thanks.
Update: Thank you all so much. I have received so much encouraging feedback. You people are great!

Creative Conversation
Johnny Huynen | Edition One
Working within a creative industry, Firetale is constantly collaborating with talented individuals with their own unique passions and talents. It is from other creatives that we are inspired and motivated, as it reflects back within our own work. Creativity can be sparked in numerous different ways and it's always intriguing to understand how others work and learn from them, or simply just see an art form from a different perspective. For this edition of 'Creative Conversation' we sat down with Johnny Huynen, founder of Juce Media to look into and learn from his creative world.
How did you get in to your line of work?
Having undertaken study in visual communication focusing on graphic design originally, my final year lead me into a new found yet pre-existing passion. I'd been making videos since I was in my early teens but never anticipated it to be my career. I think deep in my subconscious I knew this is what I wanted to do, and it was my study that lead me there. I think dabbling in other forms of creativity; graphic design, illustration, photography, it kind of paved the path on what it was I good at. I think as a creative, you really do need to dabble with all forms of artistry to figure which shoe fits best.
What do you enjoy most about your job/career?
Not being chained to a desk. I love that I can be collaborating with businesses, getting out in nature, filming cool things happening all whilst making a living. I love the unpredictability of film and video as you never know what it is you'll be filming next and what could happen next. You could be looking through the viewfinder of your camera filming a dog running on a beach and in the top left corner you see an albatross fighting for a fish in mid-air. When the camera's rolling literally ANYTHING can happen.
Where do your ideas/creativity evolve from?
I get a lot of my ideas from the inspiration of things I've seen before, not necessarily directly but more so those things locked in my subconscious. Personally the best creativity comes from a clear head, and a clear head is one that is disconnected from that which can cloud it. I find social media and digital to be on 24/7, not literally but in an analogy sense. Digital is just awake all the time and it's easy to get so locked into a head of digital. Ironically, the work I produce is digital but I find to get the best visual execution for digital I need to remove myself from it. Leave the phone at home, laptop, take myself into nature with just my camera and leave everything else at the door.
Taking time away from the regular is crucial, and it's my first step always when I'm locked in a state of creative block.
What are some of the challenges you face in a creative role?
Creative block. All creatives get it, sometimes for super extended periods of time. It's a time where you just have nothing that gets you excited, nothing that gets you passionate and those rainbow colour juices flowing. Everyone gets it. How you manage it is what defines good creatives from brilliant creatives. Often you could be hit with several projects in a row that just do nothing for you, and it sends you spiralling into a world of dissatisfaction because nothing you've created can make you feel proud. This literally is the fuel to the creative block. How do you get out of it? I take myself into nature, I disconnect and think about and take in nothing but my surroundings. That, and ironically, its to crack that next creative project that I can be proud of as it validates to me, for myself, that I've still got good ideas.
Another challenge is literally the industry itself. It's ridiculously competitive especially in the space of video. A lot of it can come down to the gear you can afford, your knowledge in editing, and the jobs you get and how much creative freedom you have in them.
I do think a beautiful thing about modern-day video, however, is that its still an emerging industry, and we're in the box seat to really define it as an industry.
What are some of your favourite projects?
My favourite project has probably been co-shooting with Matty Warmington at Kaboose Media, we filmed a six60 Tuatara Brewery collab promo video at the Third Eye in Wellington.
My favourite independent project was my recent trip to Samoa, all expenses paid, to film a wedding over there. I got a non-touristy taste of the culture having stayed with the family in the village.
Do you have any tips and advice for fellow creatives?
Biggest tip literally is to just make stuff. Go out and make stuff, it's the only way to get better and get seen. Do something absolutely radical, change the game somehow. It sounds stupid but get those likes on Instagram, those followers on Youtube. Creative work, especially in film is primarily digital now, we are digital designers. Build a following and a reputation, a dope portfolio with creative and commercial value and you'll be well on your way. I haven't got a single job from my "Honours in Visual Communication", not a single job, yet I've been working in creative for 5 years now.
Portfolio is everything, just make great content.

Many participants at the May 18th Community meeting felt their vision was not considered in the three Consultant's concept maps that were presented. Consequently at the June 4 meeting, two citizens (not on the steering committee) presented an alternative "Initial Citizens' Concept Map" and letter signed by interested people from all over town during the public comment period. Read more about the citizens' presentation here.
Alex Talikof and Theresa Grimm presented an Initial Citizens' Map during the public comment period. Over 50 citizens attended and showed their support of the presentation. This map was duplicated by the Consultant and made available to each of the small groups of steering committee members.
The bulk of the meeting was spend on small group discussion of the map options by steering committee members. Some steering committee members declined to consider the citizens' concept map. Members of the public met at their own table and produced these Community Comments which were summarized by the Town.
In advance of the meeting, a number of citizens signed and sent this letter to the steering committee on June 3rd asking for their consideration of an initial Citizens Concept Map. Click on the links. It is not clear how these ideas will be folded into the concept maps.

SAN JOSE – There was a fair smattering of boos when Raffi Torres was introduced as one of the starters in the Sharks' afternoon tilt with Dallas on Sunday at HP Pavilion.
They were all cheers, though, when his name was called twice more over the public address system when the newcomer recorded the primary assist on both of the Sharks' second period goals.
The Sharks went on to lose in a shootout to Dallas, 5-4, but Torres, TJ Galiardi and Joe Pavelski were the most effective line of the afternoon, according to head coach Todd McLellan. Despite the loss, it was a successful debut for the man that many Sharks fans had grown to hate over recent years.
"I felt good," said Torres, who was scratched on Friday after he was not feeling well the night before. "I had a good night last night and slept well, and I was excited. I didn't have to think about it too much today with the early game."
McLellan said: "He was involved on the score sheet positively. Physical on the ice, people knew when he was out there. A real good start for him."
Torres' aggressive forecheck of Eric Nystrom led to Galiardi's fancy spinning backhander in the second period, giving the Sharks a 3-2 lead. San Jose increased it to 4-2 when Torres got his point shot on net, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic tucked the rebound inside the post for a wraparound goal. The lead wouldn't last.
[KURZ: Successful homestand ends in bad defeat]
In 13 minutes and 29 seconds of ice time, all at even strength, Torres had one shot, was a +2 and had a game-high seven hits to go along with his pair of assists. It was his fifth multiple-point game of the season, and second straight two-assist performance, with the previous coming on April 2 in his last game with Phoenix.
"It's just getting pucks to the net and creating turnovers," he said. "That's where I can be effective."
Joe Pavelski said: "He had a lot of energy out there. He was throwing his weight around, got a few pucks to the net. He was simple to play with, [skated in] straight lines, and it's big for our team. He brings some speed, and he can play."
Galiardi's goal will probably be featured on some NHL highlight reels in the coming days, but it wouldn't have happened without Torres' help. Like Pavelski, Galiardi gave the impression that he enjoyed being Torres' linemate.
"He's great, he just moves the puck quick, and he's a give-and-go player," Galiardi said. "I think we could have connected a couple more times. It was a pleasure, and he's pretty tough, so you don't really worry about other guys on the other team too much."
And the goal?
"Raffi did most of the work and the puck was sitting there for me, and I just figured I'd spin and fire and put it on net," Galiardi said. "Luckily, it went in."
Even before he got on the scoresheet, though, the crowd started to warm to Torres during a shift midway though the first period. He blitzed into the Stars' zone and hit Erik Cole, and then got under the skin of defenseman Brenden Dillon. Dillon's cross-check of Torres into the boards gave the Sharks a power play they were unable to capitalize on.
"I'm not much of a talker, it's just finishing my hits and some guys don't like it too well out there," Torres said. "I'll just keep doing what I'm doing."
"I thought he played an excellent game for us tonight," Joe Thornton said.

Refresh Your Java - Before Java Interview
We are Agile, believe in less Documentation - Only Quick notes (Java Interview Questions) of Java/J2ee Read more....
1) Session Beans
Session beans are intended to allow the application author to easily implement portions of application code in middleware
and to simplify access to this code.
Session beans are divided into two types:
a) Stateless Session Bean
b) State full Session Bean
a) Stateless Session Bean
A stateless session bean does not maintain a conversational state with the client. When a client invokes
the methods of a stateless bean, the bean's instance variables may contain a state specific to that client,
but only for the duration of the invocation. When the method is finished, the client-specific state
should not be retained.
b) State full Session Bean
The state of an object consists of the values of its instance variables. In a stateful session bean, the
instance variables represent the state of a unique client-bean session. Because the client interacts ("talks")
with its bean, this state is often called the conversational state. The state is retained for the duration of
the client-bean session.
2) Entity Beans
An entity bean represents a business object in a persistent storage mechanism. Some examples of business objects are
customers, orders, and products. In the J2EE SDK, the persistent storage mechanism is a relational database.
3) Message driven beans
A message-driven bean is an enterprise bean that allows J2EE applications to process messages asynchronously. It acts as a
JMS message listener, which is similar to an event listener except that it receives messages instead of events.
This Portal is intended to put all Java/J2ee related topics at one single place for quick referance, not only Technical , but also the Project Management Related thing such as Development Process methodoogies build process, unit testing etc.,
This Portal has More than 500 Java Interview Questions (also could be Considered as Quick Notes) very neatly separated topic by topic with simple diagrams which makes you easily understandable. Importantly these are from our Realtime expericance.
JavaQuickNotes.com is found by a group of JAVA techies, who have been in IT industry for more than a decade, in which they played different roles and participated in Design and implementation of several Java/J2ee based machine critical applications and they combined their development, technical experience and Core Competencies together to build this Portal effectively . As Java and its related Technologies growing at fast-pace, it becomes more challenging for Java Resources to get all information they need one single place, our mission is to put all Java/J2ee Related Technologies together in one single place which could be used as a Quick Reference for the Java Resources when it is required. And hope this would become an unique place for every Java Resource to visit for Java Related Technical Notes.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.Emma Lazarus
FameRank: 4
"Emma Lazarus" was an American poet born in New York City.
She is best known for "The New Colossus", a sonnet written in 1883; its lines appear on a bronze plaque in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty placed in 1903.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous poets! More Emma Lazarus on Wikipedia.

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
This passage has always struck me. I think I like the Matthew version better, where Jesus says that the Father will give "good gifts" to those who ask. Especially when I get to define what "good" means. Like a new putter. Or cool friends. Maybe the Jayhawks will land the #1 high school prospect in the country. OK, that last one just happened, which is cool, because I didn't even ask for it. God is so GOOD!
But this is one that I have a hard time getting my head around. How much more will your Father give the Holy Spirit….
I've been on a journey of faith the last few years, wanting to understand and hear from God more. I mean, that's the promise in Scripture—that we will have this Spirit inside us that will be a comforter, a counselor, a guide, and a source of life. That means this relationship is interactive, and the Holy Spirit living within me is essential. Paul prays that this would become the reality in every Christian's life, that God "will empower [us] with inner strength through His Spirit," and that this "mighty power within us" can accomplish more than we could ask or imagine. Yet, I wonder how many of us experience that kind of power? How often do I experience that kind of power?
Francis Chan puts it this way in his book "Forgotten God":
It really is an astounding truth that the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. He lives in me. I do not know what the Spirit will do or where He'll lead me each time I invite Him to guide me. But I am tired of living in a way that looks exactly like the people who do not have the Holy Spirit of God living in them. I want to consistently live with an awareness of His strength. I want to be different today from what I was yesterday as the fruit of the Spirit becomes more manifest in me…. Christ said it is better for us that the Spirit came, and I want to live like I know that is true. I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly.
I am convinced that there is more to this life of faith, this life with the Holy Spirit, than what we currently experience. I've grown in my understanding and relationship with this third person of the Trinity…but I know there's more. And it's not more just for the experience of more. It's more for the purpose of this divine relationship. It's more for the purpose of mission and sharing the Gospel. And it's more for growing to be like Jesus, the One whose Spirit is alive with me.
In the next few weeks at Restoration, we're going to take an honest look at the Holy Spirit. We're going to try and set aside our presuppositions (and our baggage), and we're going to ask God to reveal Himself to us more deeply. We're going to pray that He starts to build within us this awareness of His strength, His purposes, and His character. It's our hope that, as we do, God will do something in our church and in our lives—maybe even something "infinitely more than we can ask or imagine!"

The tone of your wedding is set the moment your guest opens up their mailbox to find something different. The letters dance across the envelope, foreshadowing a first dance. The fringed paper alludes to the lacy hem of a white dress walking down the aisle. It's an invitation—to toast, to dance, to eat expensive cake, to send you and your honey off in a fancy ride at the end of the night. Your wedding is a brand in itself, wether that's minimal and modern, sweet and simple, or wild and whimsical.
This process is a collaboration between you and I. Right off the bat I want to hear about your wedding day and what excites you. What flowers are you using? Are you having a custom veil made? Will it be on a farm or in a warehouse? We can talk on the phone, email, or meet over coffee if you're local. I listen intently, ask questions and pull out the important details. Taking your vision into account, I create and present a design completely customized for you—from the paper selection to the lettering to the color combinations—and from there we finalize your personal suite. Our team works hard so you don't have to... we take care of the printing, assembly, postage and all of the details in between. If this sounds like a good time to you, I suggest you click that button over there! ☞

Grace Covenant's Worship Committee works with the pastor to provide joyful and meaningful worship for the people of God. Our Sunday services include the involvement of the whole church community - the youth serve as acolytes, the choir provides uplifting, meaningful music, and liturgists support the pastor in leading worship.
In addition to weekly services, we share in worship on special days throughout the church year. We have services on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Christmas Eve, to name just a few.
The Worship Committee also oversees the sharing of the sacraments, the music program, the audio/visual components of worship, and ensures the worship space is reverent and comfortable.
Worship is the work of all the people, not just the voice of the pastor. Together, we raise our voices, celebrating and calling upon the Living God in whom we find life abundant!

Late Friday night, talented but troubled Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall wound up at Broward General Medical Center, while his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, was held in jail for allegedly stabbing the superstar in the gut. Today the Broward Sheriff's Office released the 911 call Nogami-Marhsall made from their Southwest Ranches home that night.
New Times Broward-Palm Beach blog the Daily Pulp has obtained the tapes. A female voice, presumably Nogami-Marhsall's, tells the dispatcher: "Please come -- it's an emergency." When the dispatcher asks for clarification, the woman simply repeats, "Please come -- it's an emergency," before hanging up.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

When police arrived, Nogami-Marshall admitted to stabbing Marshall, but she maintains it was in self-defense. According to the arrest report, she stabbed Marshall in the stomach with a kitchen knife and has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
The couple was married last year, but this is not the pair's first reported brush with domestic violence. Though no charges were filed, Atlanta Police detailed an incident in which the two fought and Marshall pinned his then-fiancée against a wall.
Marshall is expected to fully recover, and the Dolphins so far have taken no action related to the incident.

The Grand Buffet at Nero's Restaurant in Ceasar's in Atlantic City was booming at the 5th Annual Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival. Typically their Sunday brunch is a best-kept secret, but the real secret is a few towns over in Egg Harbor at the Master's Farm, owned by Donald and Lisa Straga. The Straga's have an exclusive deal providing fresh produce for restaurants at Cesear's, Bally's, Harrah's and Showboat. The best thing about this farm is that everything is certified organic and not genetically modified. It all began three years ago with their vision to move farm-fresh food straight to the table with fresh and organic options. When they started, this couple never envisioned their produce would be the highlight of so many high-end meals, such as the ones served at the Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival.
How do the Straga's do it? They say their love for mixed martial arts is what helps them run this farm because they know what it takes to have a strong work ethic. I'd say this is an example of why New Jersey is called the Garden State!

You Say that Repeatedly
I had a great conversation with my daughter recently. As she was leaving my room, I hugged her and told her I love her. She looked at me and said, "Dad! You say that repeatedly (she just learned the word 'repeatedly' so she's currently using it all the time).
I told her, "For the rest of your life, out of all the things I say to you, 'I love you' is going to be the thing I repeat to you the most, because it is the most important thing of all."
Then I asked her to come back and sit with me while I taught her this: At Jesus' baptism, the heavens opened and God said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I find great pleasure." From there He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to fast for 40 days. At the end of the 40 days, the devil appears and quoted God almost exactly. He said, "If you're the Son of God, turn these stones into bread."
In his opening statement, he left out one word.
He wanted Jesus to question the love of God for Him. This should go without saying, but the devil also wants us to question God's love for us.
If we question our lovability, we start trying to do things to get love instead of because we simply are loved. Most people spend their entire lives trying to get something they already have. Like a dog running after his own tail and causing himself pain when he catches it. If we spend our lives chasing after love, it will eventually be a painful realization as we find that we've had it all along.
I told my daughter I never want her to question whether or not she is loved by me or by God. So one way I'm going help her with that is to tell her every day (more than once) for the rest of her life. As parents, the one thing I pray most, is that we do everything we can to help our children never question if they are loved.
What's something you do to help your children with this?

All Good Things
October 2, 2017
Good Night Thoughts...
I am not my circumstance
I am not decided by my past. I am not ruled by what has happened to me. Hardships in my life are only learning opportunities of which I will succeed past. I am not limited by the things, people, and responsibilities in my current life because I will learn and grow and do whatever is required to move forward. My circumstance is only my starting point, not my end goal. I trust myself to figure it out as I go. I trust myself to make good decisions. I am on a path toward the future.

Eastern Connecticut State University was New England's most prolific representative at this year's National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). Held April 4-7 at the University of Central Oklahoma, the conference was among the premier gatherings in all of U.S. academia, with more than 3,500 students representing more than 460 colleges and universities from across the country. Remarkably, Eastern was the 12th institution in terms of participation, with 45 students presenting research – the most in all of New England.
Of the top 12 schools, only four have student bodies of 6,000 or below – Eastern's enrollment is a modest 5,300. The rest range from 9,000 to 35,000 students, and two of them are based in Oklahoma. In the past five years, Eastern has sent more than twice as many students to NCUR as all other Connecticut schools combined.
"Undergraduate research is clearly a strength of Eastern," said Carlos Escoto, psychology professor and director of Eastern's Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity. "We had students from 15 different departments represented and the majority of presenters were students outside of the university's Honors Program."
Departments ranged from Environmental Earth Science to Music, Economics to Health Science, Mathematics to Visual Arts. Research topics included global water shortages; media and mental illness stigma; childhood poverty and educational outcomes; non-drug therapies and cancer patients; political rhetoric; and much more.
Escoto continued: "This ranking, coupled with our first Goldwater Scholar (Jacob Dayton '18), a second Fulbright award recipient in two years (Adam Murphy '18), and many more students succeeding in the realm of research, speaks to the quality of instruction and faculty mentorship at Eastern."
Reflecting on her experience at the 2017 NCUR conference in Memphis, TN, communication major Olivia Godin '19 said, "Presenting at NCUR has been one of the most valuable experiences in my collegiate career. I was able to give an oral presentation to several students and professors about my research, which discussed the differences between how men and women communicate – a project I spent several months working on with my advisor."
"Learning to conduct research is a major component of a liberal arts education," said Eastern President Elsa Núñez. "That is why Eastern is committed to supporting our undergraduate students so they can conduct research and present it at regional and national conferences. We know that students who are engaged in applied learning activities such as research projects get better grades and graduate at higher rates."
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research was established in 1987. From a pool of several thousand applicants, students are accepted into the conference if their research demonstrates a unique contribution to their field of study. NCUR offers undergraduates the opportunity to present their research findings to peers, faculty and staff from colleges and universities across the nation, providing a unique networking and learning opportunity.

Homeshare enables two unrelated people to share a home for mutual benefit. The homesharer benefits from low cost accommodation, while the householder receives companionship and practical help in and around their home.
- helps people who need support such as older people, stay in their own homes for longer
- provides affordable accommodation for younger people or key workers, at a time of record housing shortages and high rent.
Novus Homeshare
Novus Homeshare is the charity that we are using to match Barnet residents with suitable homesharers.
How it works
Householders with a spare room receive 40 hours of help per month for tasks such as cooking, laundry, gardening, shopping and companionship.
Although the majority of householders are elderly residents, the scheme also caters for people with special needs. Relatives concerned about loved ones living by themselves are also encouraged to find out more about the scheme which gives peace of mind that their relatives are not alone.
Under the scheme, householders pay £130 per month which covers the administration costs as well as receiving regular check-ups to see how things are going.
The monthly cost of a room for homesharers is £199.34 a month, much less than the average rent cost of rooms in London.
All homesharers go through a vetting system that includes criminal record and background checks, as well as an interview before being introduced to householders.
