• Our mission is to provide Granadinos with skills to compete in the tourism and related industries, and to own/operate their own businesses.
• Our teachers love teaching and are enthused about improving the educational and economic opportunities for the people of Granada.
• We use the excellent "Interchange, 3rd Edition" textbooks and class audio CDs by Cambridge University Press. They have proven very useful for the novice and advanced teacher alike. We have 4' x 4' white boards, CD players, TV, DVD player and a very clean, well-maintained, newly restored Colonial building. The building is not air-conditioned and the city of Granada does have temporary electrical and water outages. We have a battery backup system that keeps our lights, fans and CD players on during city wide blackouts.
• The average length of EFL teaching experience by our Granadino teachers is two years.
• Many of our native English speaking EFL teachers have several years of EFL teaching experience.
• Granada English College is a legal, educational company recognized by the Nicaraguan government as an "Investor Business". We have a Granada city business license and pay city and national taxes.
• I (the unpaid owner/recruiter and financial provider) and our Granadina School Director are highly motivated to provide Granadinos with a means to compete in a growing tourist industry and global economy. We are a negative-profit school run in a professional way.
We gladly accept donations and student sponsorships in person and through our website. We keep our student fees low and have provided a high quality of EFL teaching to hundreds of Granadinos.
Interesting Information about Granada, Nicaragua:
Nicaragua is located in Central America. "Moon Handbooks, Nicaragua" is an excellent book on Granada and Nicaragua. The same authors have also written the excellent "Moon; Living Abroad in Nicaragua". Granada English College is located five blocks west of the Central Square, on the north side of Parque Xalteva. You can walk to anywhere in town.
Granada is the oldest colonial city in the Americas. The ecology is as abundant and diverse as Costa Rica yet the cost of living here is much less. The people of Nicaragua are friendlier and they are proud of the 500 years of Spanish history in Granada. The Atlantic Coast has many indigenous tribes with English and African influences. The government and economy have been stable since 1990, when the civil war ended. The country is peaceful and Nicaraguans are looking for a place in the world economy.
Money sent home from Nicaraguans in North America and Costa Rica is the largest source of income and amounts to $950 millionUS a year. The tourism industry is increasing steadily. In recent years, foreign investment has been in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Aid and loans from other countries are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Thank you for your interest. I am happy to answer any questions related to EFL teaching at Granada English College. We look forward to hearing from you.
Please send a brief email describing your interest in teaching EFL in Granada, and how well you meet the qualifications listed above. Please send a resume, C.V., or a brief summary of your EFL teaching/work/education/travel experience.
We prefer applicants who interview in person and can be observed teaching our students. We are very flexible with our new teacher requirements if we observe an applicant doing well using EFL methodologies in our classrooms.
Donations and student sponsorships may be sent through the "PayPal Donate button" on our website. Credit/debit cards, and Echecks from your bank account are accepted. You do not have to be a member of PayPal to donate. PayPal members may donate directly to email@example.com.

Thank you.

This unit taught me something I knew very little about: the conditional in English. There are five main types: zero, first, second, third, and mixed, and I still do not understand them that well. This is an area I am definitely going to have to review if I have to teach it to my students in order to ensure I have a comprehensive understanding of the different types and uses of the conditional and reported speech.This unit was extremely informative and provided me with a better understanding of the basic grammar rules. I have learnt the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs and I liked the examples provided as they made it easier to understand the rules. I particularly liked the tips on how to teach your students about adverbs in order to make them fully comprehend the topic and enjoy the learning process.

Most photographers adapt easily to taking color photographs. Black and white photography, however, can be somewhat more challenging. While it may not seem very different, there are many variables that can help you take better black and white nature photographs.
Black and white photos allow you to be more creative and to let your artistic abilities shine. Probably the most iconic of all nature photographers is Ansel Adams. Famous for taking stunning B&W photos of America's West, he was a noted environmentalist.
When you look at Adam's photos, you can see some of the characteristics that good black and white nature photographs should have. Today's advanced digital cameras offer photographers better options for taking better photos than ever before.
Nature photographs need the perfect vantage point to be most effective. There should be a good mix of light and shadow in the viewfinder. Keep in mind that colors don't show up the same in black and white. Therefore, you need to be able to view the scene through black and white eyes.
Remember to keep in mind the main image you want to show in the photo. Make sure that it becomes the focal point. When there are too many things to see in an area, you may need to zoom in on your intended subject. This is also true when you want to take a photo of something that is small or difficult to see.
Outdoor conditions are often less than perfect. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of black and white photos, as GuruShots explains in their guide. Yet, light can be tricky to manipulate. It is essential to achieve good contrast. Try utilizing high dynamic range imagining, HDR. HDR allows you to obtain a better range of luminosity which is ideal for black and white images. The purpose of HDR is to end up with pictures that are more similar to what the human eye sees.
HDR can improve several types of photos. It is difficult to see a lot of contrast between the land and sky in landscape photos. Using HDR will improve the variation without causing a photo that is too dark. When you are working with sunlight, it can cause glare along with dark shadows. HDR helps to improve these variations.
If you have a low light situation, the entire photo might appear too dark. HDR can help improve and brighten your photo in areas that need it without causing other areas to become too light. However, be careful with the use of HDR. If there is already high contrast in the photo, HDR can actually worsen the aesthetics.
You can also improve lighting by making changes to the ISO setting. The ISO setting allows more or less light into the scene. Typical ISO settings range from 100 to 6400 in some cameras. When taking black and white photos, you want the ISO setting as low as possible to reduce noise, reminiscent of vintage black and white photographs, like in this nice collection of Las Vegas photos. This is particularly important in situations where there is low light. A lower setting will help eliminate the grainy look of the photo.

Photographers Guide to the Greater Kruger National Park
"It's 764 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."
- Janey Coetzee, South Africa
The histogram is a little-used function but is highly recommended, especially when working with black and white photos. The histogram is a graph that shows areas of light and dark in the photo. The graph displays the values of dark to light from left to right as well as how much of the image displays these values.
The histogram is typically displayed at the bottom of the LCD, below the image. As you become more proficient at utilizing this graph, you will be able to correlate it with aperture settings or F-stops to take more precise photos. You will also be able to utilize a flash or filter to change the lighting contrast when possible.
Your camera usually allows you to choose from Raw or JPEG images. When shooting black and white photos, it may be preferable to use the Raw mode. The advantage is that you will have the ability to improve the tone and sharpness of the image. This flexibility is lost when you use JPEG. However, keep in mind that you will have to do further manipulation of the photo later.
You'll also be able to use
advanced programs and imaging techniques after you take the photos. Various
programs, such as Photoshop and others, allow photographers to experiment with
adjustments to their photos to create the best possible results.

The staff of C41 Magazine has eventually reached the shores of Bagni Vittoria, the stunning location in Vasto, Abruzzo that is hosting the whole crew for the upcoming four days.
The experience begins tonight, with a voyage through a sampling of artichoke inside the Cooperativa S. Rocco, Cupello. Everything is prepared and served by the well-known chef Marcello Potente, owner of the restaurant La volpe e l'uva.
As soon as tomorrow, the experience moves inside the woods of the district of Chieti, famous for the splendid waterfalls of Rio Verde. Following the truffle seeker Giuseppe, member of the collective Rio Verde Tartufi, C41 Magazine is winning the rare chance to eat the treasures found by its very own members, skillfully served at the restaurant Shangrila.
On Saturday, the day starts slowly, with a stunning brunch cooked by the award winner Nicola Fossaceca right at the 'house' hosting the whole crew, which is once again Bagni Vittoria. Nicola needs no presentation, thanks to his skill and cooking ability, exercised and shared at his restaurant Al metrò.
The journey finds its end at the Cooperativa S. Nicola, in Pollutri, Chieti, with a happy sampling of wines, right before a glorious lunch at the Lu Barrott di Nicola, with the loved company of Lello, a major institution between the lands of Vasto.

Poke cakes seem to have taken Pinterest by storm, so I decided to make a Strawberry Jello Poke Cake. It just sounded good! True to its name, this is a cake that you poke holes in after you bake it. You then fill the holes with some type of a filling like pudding, cream, or fruit. In this case, I used strawberry jello — and I'm convinced I've made one of the easiest, moistest, and most delicious poke cokes around. It reminds me of strawberry shortcake with punched up strawberry flavor.
Strawberry Jello Poke Cake
This easy dessert reminds me of strawberry shortcake with punched up strawberry flavor.
- white cake mix: 1 (15.25 oz) box
- oil: 1/2 cup
- water: 1 cup
- eggs: 3
- greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
- strawberry jello: 1 (3 oz.) box
- boiling water: 1 cup
- whipped topping: 8 oz.
- fresh strawberries: 1 carton (16 oz.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Prepare and bake the cake mix according to the package directions...except for one thing. I added in a half cup of Greek yogurt to the batter. I feel like the yogurt gives the cake a little something extra.
Step 3: Bake for 28-32 minutes or until toothpick inserted the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.
Step 4: Take the handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes three quarters of the way down across the entire surface of the cake.
Step 5: Add a small package of strawberry jello to a cup of boiling water and stir until it's dissolved. Pour the strawberry jello mixture over the cake and especially over the holes in the cake. Then let the cake cool for a bit.
Step 6: Top the cake with whipped topping and strawberries! Then you can cut and serve. See I told you it was easy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make sure to save this recipe on Pinterest!

Follow the tutorial here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMNED_5.0.0/com.ibm.apic.devportal.doc/tutorial_portal_customizing_css.html
Put your custom CSS in overrides.css. Save the theme and then upload it.
The custom theme contains the CSS, it doesn't enable you to change it, you put the CSS inside the theme, thats what themes are.
Answer by trivnel (1) | Jan 25, 2018 at 05:54 AM

Travel Tips, Rupaul's Muff and Gifts From The Magi/
If needed, remove non essentials like clothing to make room for your brie. That's 3 lb of lovely in that duffle.
Many of us will be traveling this holiday season. Some to hot-dishes that call from our MSG filled youth. Some to exotic locales where hot-dishes are unknown (poor fools). And still some to the bar for a Tom and Jerry's (find one and love it).
But if you find yourself packing and already longing for a treat on your travels that will remind you of the "home" you are about to leave I suggest you consider a road-trip snack. Something that will give you comfort as you go over the river and through the woods.
Dang. I just realized I am actually going over the river and through the woods this season.
Pack a snack.
Every holiday season I wait for my besties over at Lund's to roll out the wheels of brie at a reduced cost. Thankfully this year they hit rock bottom prices. It's the most versatile of soft cheeses. Grilled, on its own, smothered in fig jam or just looking pretty on a plate, brie is everyone's friend. I'm fairly certain it was one of the gifts from the Magi but didn't make the final edit of the good book. Go introduce yourself. But go now. Because I'm already on my way for another wheel. And watch your back. Because I once had to elbow a friend out of the way in the dairy case for some brie. She's an addict.
As you have already figured out my snack of choice is brie. And maybe a Swiss Cake Roll. It's a long haul once you get past the river.
Happy Holidays and please enjoy this treat from our friend RuPaul. Check out her muff. It's so fluffy and white.

A Simple Plan For Investigating Documents
Guide to Use When Applying For Passport and Passport Renewal
A passport is more than an internationally recognized document, it is a ticket you can use to explore the world. The thing is that when you have the record, you can use it to explore different parts of the world. The idea is that when you are dealing with passports you might need to do renewals or applying a new one.
When you are certain you need this document then you should note that you start counting your time. You should note that many people are finding that they need this document. Some of the things you should note is that the people living in Canada and Mexico find that they need to have this document to get access to the U.S. Flying locally might also need one to get a passport thanks to the REAL ID act. The reason behind this lies on your home sate. The reason being there are some states who have refused to weave the necessary minimum security standards issued by the ID program. This being the case, some of the things you should note is that you might require an alternative means of identification like the passport.
Some of the things you should note are that if you are certain you need his document, then you need to start by scheduling a trip to the passport facility. If this is the first time you are making the application, then you need an extremely expedited turnaround You need to ensure you give yourself at least two weeks.
When you are done with this, some of the things you should note are that you have to gather the needed documents. When you schedule an appointment, some of the things you should note is that you need to show who you are and that you have a valid document. With this document, some of the things you might need are two passport photos. The other thing you should note is that you might need to have complete paperwork. You can get the document you need through the internet.
For the minors the process is the same, but they will need parents so that they can sign their names. So that one can have an easy time with the identification they will need to have their birth certificate.
If your passport is over 10 years, or you got it when you were 16 years and below or have changed your name it is time to do the renewal. Some of the things you should note is that when you are doing the renewal you will find that it is better than applying a new one. The best part is that you can get the document online and fill it, package your passport with the fees and then mail it.

Power of Listening and Inquiry
How you communicate makes all the difference when it comes to successful outcomes, whether it is sales, product development, customer retention, finance or operations. Are you interested in a meaningful exchange? What type of questions are you asking? Are you asking questions to collect information, draw a conclusion or are you looking to expand your understanding?
In addition to sharing information, a big part of our communication is listening. How much listening are you doing? In our regular communication, we spend approximately 60% of it listening, yet only retain 25% of what is heard. Most people are not listening with the intent to understand, but instead with the intent to reply. Our listening can be improved by becoming more engaged; by releasing the need for certainty in our conversation and being open to new perspectives. Genuine inquiry means being present, listening and being curious.
A CEO of a company working with large commercial real estate properties improving energy efficiency once told me that he had an affinity to sales people with music backgrounds. When asked what he meant, he said that when they enter a building, they are not just listening to what the client has to say but they are also in tune to the sounds of the building. They have an ability to identify system and maintenance problems through listening and inquiring, often to the amazement of the prospective client.
Listening and Connecting
Great listeners are able to connect on a number of levels. They are able to make connections between what is occurring in a conversation; what is being communicated through non-verbal cues; and what they can learn from their surroundings. They are able to make correlations between previous conversations as well as disparate threads of conversation and they are skilled at posing open-ended questions that engage others in a discussion.
An executive of a company providing a Software As a Service (SaaS) product expressed concerns about the lack of interest from potential customers following product demos. Curious to know where the problem lied, he began asking his sales team to walk him through the demo discussion. He discovered that when a sales member learned that a potential client used a software that was not on the list of programs in which their product integrated, the sales member proceeded to end the meeting. What the sales team member was not asking was "What features of that software are critical for you? Does your entire work force use it or is it used by a certain group/department? How else do you use the software? What type of support do you receive on that product? What has changed since you last purchased that software? The sales person entered the demo with one outcome in mind and lost an opportunity to learn more about the company, their perspectives, assumptions and challenges.
Too often, people engage potential clients or colleagues with a script about their product, service or idea. They have an internal dialogue on how they will rebut or defend their position as opposed to being present and truly listening to what the person is saying. As a result, they miss opportunities to collaboratively identify new possibilities.
Why do some people ask good questions and others don't?
Some of the reasons include
- lack of interest about the product or service they are providing or their work
- poor listening skills with a tendency to do more talking than listening
- lack of training on how to listen and to have a meaningful exchange
- fear of asking questions that might be perceived as unknowledgeable and therefore, not seeking a deeper understanding
- feeling rushed or pressured to close a deal
- making assumptions about what is behind a decision or action
- asking the wrong type of questions (e.g. either/or, or leading questions)
- too focused on promoting and defending versus learning
- overreacting to words or statements
Questions and listening are key to discovery. Good questions lead to aha moments that spark brilliant solutions. They require an ability to listen, adjust and pivot in order to find the information that nobody else picked up on.
How do you ignite curiosity? Build questioning skills?
Developing great listening and questioning skills takes time, intention and practice. A few actions you can take to develop these skills with your teams are:
Role Play
Practice listening skills
Explore the difference between discovery questions vs provoking questions which lead to deeper discussion and understanding.
Share experiences both successes and failures
The better the guidance and training, the more eager your team members will be willing to engage.
What actions, training or strategies have you employed to create better listeners and questioners? Please share your stories with us at email@example.com .

Weeknight Dinner Recap: Volume VII
Welcome the seventh edition of Weeknight Dinner Recap! This week featured some amazing new meals, a brief stint of sickness, and a splash of excitement when we nixed our cooking plans in favor of a midweek "date night," resulting in shifting our meals and not sticking to a plan! Oh my! And, for the record, that barely happens, so it's kind of a big deal (but not that big, let's be honest).
This week's Recap is after the jump!
Sunday: Running around doing errands, grocery shopping, and keeping tabs on the impending hurricane down south, this day was busy and also full of not feeling my best. This led to the start of a brief, but intense, first-cold-of-fall for me so our meal plan reflected my sickness flavor cravings (described in more detail on my Insta posts this week). While relaxing with football on TV, I had perused a few of my favorite cookbooks and pulled some recipes for the week. This first one, sausage and chard risotto, turned out to be just fabulous.
From my go-to Weeknight Gluten Free by Kristine Kidd, this dish was my husband's first time making risotto, and my first time praying for it to come out as well as I truly hoped. And guess what? He did so well and the dish was so, so good. Risotto is one of my absolute favorite foods in general so now that we know it's an at-home option makes me incredibly happy and excited. It also means that I must continue to go to the gym. Man, that's a lot of Parmesan. ;)
Monday: My cold took a turn for the intense and while I was hungry, all I wanted was pasta! I don't often get very carb-focused for our meals, but for some reason when I don't feel well that's all I want. We chose an easy recipe from Jessica Seinfeld's latest book, Food Swings, which is awesome because each dish is labeled gluten free/dairy free/vegan as appropriate. And while this pasta one wasn't labeled specifically gluten free, we simply subbed in our usual GF penne and it worked out just fine! Spicy eggplant pasta was the name for the meal and that sounded very appealing for my stuffy self.
We used zucchini and Chinese eggplant for the main veggies to roast and added in basil, grape tomatoes, and mozzarella as instructed. The dish was delicious, but we decided to add in extra red pepper flakes to enhance the spice level a bit. I would consider this a great meal for when you're having vegetarian friends over for dinner, or if you just don't feel like adding meat. I didn't miss it at all; however, I dare say it could be (even) more filling if some chicken or turkey was mixed in at the end. Overall, I'm excited to continue to find new recipes in Seinfeld's book as the photos are fun and she has great, humorous commentary throughout.
Tuesday: Pretty sure this is the meal that (almost) cured my cold! A busy work day and a reluctant gym session, I was not feeling my greatest while this was being made, but I knew the savory, grilled flavors would satisfy my salt-focused cravings. Once again, we found this recipe, Asian-flavored chicken with shiitakes and bok choy from Weeknight Gluten Free by Kristine Kidd, a Williams-Sonoma cookbook. And while we had to pan-grill all of the pieces (oops!) I do not think the dish suffered one bit. A real outdoor grill will be such a luxury in the future, but for now, our stovetop will have to suffice (despite my husband's frequent longing for "outdoor space to grill" we just cannot have it right now). We live in the city. If anyone wants to let us borrow their outdoor grill, we'll make you this meal. It's awesome!
A delicious Asian sauce is made first and then brushed on the chicken thighs and everything else while they grill away. Yes, there's a lot of smoke while this is being done. No, nothing bad will happen. I really loved the grilled bok choy with the sauce and it was such a welcome change from the usual stir fries we make when leaning toward these flavors. Next time we make this dish, I may add in some white rice, or brown (pick your favorite starch), so that it's a little heartier. However, for this night's dinner needs, and my cold not quite done, this pan-grilled assortment was just perfect.
Note: I really love using this cookbook as it's 100% gluten free and therefore we don't have to do any substitutions for the recipes. BUT! I will never not purchase a cookbook because it's not specifically gluten free, that would be ridiculous (in my opinion). There is so much wonderful food and beautiful cookbooks out there in the world, I would never limit what I buy book-wise based solely on my dietary needs. Happy to make adjustments, substitutions, and other recipe 'edits' to create the dishes I want to try and enjoy at home.
Wednesday: A toast! My cold had finally subsided and I was feeling more life-like than I had in several days! Therefore, we nixed our plans to cook and went out for celebratory tacos at one of our local favorites, Burro Bar. The photo shown above is homemade carnitas tacos we made in a prior week, but I had to share because the colors were incredible. At our "yay no cold" dinner, I had blackened mahi mahi tacos and my favorite queso fundido - something I cannot resist each time we go there to eat. It's hot, gooey cheeses blended together and baked with tomatoes and corn. Then I fill soft, warm corn tortillas with spoonfuls of the delicious, bubbly and super cheesy mixture. A makeshift quesadilla! Hooray!
This spot also makes great margaritas for a variety of tastes as well as extensive tequila options - they even offer tasting flights! Burro Bar will for sure be included in my still-in-progress Bar Bites section of this website, which will debut soon, I promise. Creating a very curated guide to everything I love to eat outside of our home is taking time. And is having me stumble upon a lot of delicious memories! Stay tuned - Bar Bites will be out for your enjoyment in the near future!
Thursday: OK, back to health, and back to our dinner plan! Feeling like my old self again, we aimed for a big plate of veggies and some meat. This night we made awesome lamb burgers that were juicy and scrumptious, plus a Greek salad to spill over the top, and a bunch of sweet corn that we needed to use up. This dish was well timed because it suddenly got very hot and humid in the city, and this summery dinner felt exactly right given the weather. I loved the flavors of this meal and the Greek salad was all but perfect, since we completely forgot to buy feta! Whoops! Mistakes happen and actually, I barely even missed its presence. But if you ask me what's the first ingredient I need next time we make this, I would definitely say, "feta." :)
Bun-less lamb burgers and Greek salad: a summer staple or a mid-September feature full of bright colors and delicious meat. See? My cold must have completely gone away as my pasta-focus dissipated, and I was back to the protein+veggie combo that's de rigueur around here, most of the time. Unless it's pasta Tuesday, of course. ;)
Friday: Cheers to the weekend! A very busy work day to close the week, and all I wanted to was relax, unwind, and not be in our apartment (I was working from home all day). A quick ride over to Davio's where we had a great evening at the bar, and lots of delicious dishes. Another go-to option for us because of the great GF menu, proximity to our house, and wide variety of dinners to choose from no mater where our tastebuds lead us.
On this visit, we shared a GF mushroom and truffle oil pizza, and I had a yummy shrimp and pancetta pasta as well as one of their great martinis. I know I went on and on about my less-carb-focused self once my cold went away, but when there are options like these at restaurants we enjoy, I cannot resist. So scrumptious and a definite treat to begin the weekend!
Follow along on my Insta Stories for our food adventures over the next couple days and we'll get back to cooking Sunday night! I hope you have a fun weekend; we're seeing some friends Saturday afternoon and a variety of errands and perhaps some shopping as well. Oh, and I need to break in a new pair of sneakers. They're blush pink satin low-tops by Superga. I'm psyched. :)
Have a delicious weekend!
Eat well,

Pensioners and families from all over Southport were in for some 'shock' news today - M&S had to close.
The reason - a power surge which saw the emergency generators deployed in the early hours; staff were placed at two entrances to turn customers away while the rear doors were shuttered over, too.
The store is hoping to open this afternoon, subject to an engineers' report; one thirsty couple from Ormskirk decided to travel to Booth's, Burscough for their mid week coffee together.

Renting to Students: 6 things you may not know
The life of a student studying abroad – or in town and wanting that full post-secondary experience – often starts with finding a place to live for the school year. Many students accept university offers miles away from their hometown, and looking for a place to call home can be both exciting and daunting. As student rentals will always be a necessity, planning on handing your keys over to a group of young scholars may be a profitable move with the academic season almost upon us.
Of course, advertising units to students comes with different priorities than multifamily rentals geared toward business professionals, seniors, or families. Here, some important things to consider-- straight from the mind of a student who has rented from multiple landlords and property management companies in multiple units.
Include utilities in the listing price.
Budgeting as a student is a tricky mission when university prices cost nearly as much as a down payment, considering additional costs for books, tutors, etc. Thus, it can be appreciated when the price displayed online for a rental is honest and exact.
"When I was first looking at rentals, I was more likely to sign a lease that included utilities and was one fixed price per month, rather than one that stated that utilities were an additional cost. Knowing that I didn't have to worry about multiple payments per month was just one less thing on my loaded student to-do list" says Cassie Wolfe, English major at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo.
Providing utilities and charging for them goes a long way with students, who are more likely to pick a fixed-price unit than one that has additional fees.
You can get away with charging extra for an 8-month lease in your listing price.
"8-month leases are so hard to find. So, if a landlord charged extra for an 8-month lease, I would probably never know" Wolfe says. Most students do not stick around for the summer when renting, and don't want to have to worry about subletting their unit. Having flexible leasing terms is important to consider when leasing to students who are looking for options. Still, there are always people looking for 4-month rentals in the summer, so there is usually no problem finding occupancy.
Cleanliness goes a long way.
Hiring cleaners for the in-between periods of renters is definitely worthwhile. No matter how temporary, renters want to feel at home, and that their living quarters have been, and will continue to be, hygienic.
"When touring rentals, my friends and I tried not to be biased toward the way the current residents had set up the unit-- but definitely were paying attention to the general upkeep of the house, such as the paint, lights, plumbing, etc." says Wolfe.
Offer larger units for co-living.
Generally, students want to apply for units in groups of 2 or more. "After first year, there was a group of us looking for a place to live together. I was always looking for 5-bedroom apartments" Wolfe says. While it doesn't hurt to invest in several units varying in size, the number of bedrooms being sought out by students is usually the key words they type in the search bar, ie. "5-bedroom unit in Waterloo." Thus, you're more likely to succeed, and profit more greatly, with multi-bedroom units than one or two bedroom ones.
Friendliness and transparency matters-- you matter.
Students are smarter than you may think. Whether getting information about who they should or should not be renting from through parents, former students, or online reviews, it is important not to think students can be easily fooled simply because they are less experienced. "My friends and I were always wary of landlords that seemed to withhold information, or even lacked kindness," Wolfe says. "We knew we would be communicating with our landlord for a long time, and so we hoped, of course, for a kind and trustworthy one." It pays to be respectful to students; social media is an outlet for young adults, and can impact the ability to find future tenants.
Don't forget tenant insurance.
Student rentals involve certain risks and responsibilities of their own. Include tenant insurance in your policy, and disclose the monthly cost to the tenant before they sign. Go the extra mile by talking through the benefits of keeping tenant insurance, and what it means for them. This conversation could be the difference between a 100-page essay and a water-logged laptop. You want to make sure there is coverage for your property and the student's belongings if the unit experiences significant damage or accidents within the unit. If you're looking for a way to make sure your tenants are insured and are not cancelling their insurance, LeadManaging can point you to a solution that will help easily track this.

As a landlord, you have the ability to make a students' first "personal space" one of both productivity and relaxation. A simple, pleasant transaction rather than an intimidating one. When catered properly towards these young adults, student accommodations can be a fun and rewarding project.

What People Are Saying
Debi, May 2018
"We were in the area for an event and found this home for 9 of us to staycation. The owner, Denise, met us and gave a tour of the home along with details. She could not have been nicer or more helpful. The kitchen has just been renovated with top of the line appliances and stocked with everything you would need. The home is airy with lots of places to relax along with technology for everyone to enjoy. The back yard was amazing with a play set, pool, hot tub, fire pit and several patio furniture seating. There is plenty of parking right next to the property. The house is located within walking distance to the village that has a grocery store (prices were very reasonable), restaurants, shopping and coffee shops. The beach is just minutes away by car or a quick bike ride. We would definitely come back to this amazing home!"
Jakub, dec. 2017
" Fantastic place. The classic vibes are blended with modern luxury. Very clean and conveniently located. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend the place for family gatherings."
Sarah, Sep. 2017
"We rented the entire house out for a family vacation and it was very spacious for all 7 of us, almost each person had their own room. Also the kitchen has all the cooking utensils you can possibly need and we made great use of bbq. House is conveniently located one block away from a 7/11 and a supermarket. There are shops and beaches less than a mile away and there were beach passes to enter for rogers beach. Overall we had a nice time. Thanks for a great getaway."
Alicia, july 2017
"The house is exactly as it appears in photos, which was a really wonderful surprise. It is much larger and accommodating to more people than you expect. We had a group of 11, brought air mattresses expecting it to be tight and the beds were comfortable and spacious enough so that everyone could sleep soundly sharing a bedroom. The living and dining area is beautifully decorated and is a perfect open space for hanging out and having hors d'ouvres before a night out. Management offered a local taxi service # which we ended up using all night to go out in Sag harbor. She was super easy to communicate with by text, and always answered right away if I had questions! I would love to book this house again in the future for another trip. Thank you!"
chris, june 2017
"Denise was the absolute best. The house is beautiful and extremely well kept, with really large bedrooms that are each their own private, quiet, space. The grounds are immaculate with a very lovely pool. Everything about the stay was wonderful, and Denise was very helpful in giving advice about the local areas to explore. We absolutely will be coming back!! The location is also excellent. It's a very convenient walk to the cute town of Westhampton and a short drive/uber to several great restaurants."
lesley, may 2017
"Denise's house was the PERFECT getaway. A gorgeous flower arrangement made for such a welcoming feel upon check-in and each time we got back. The grounds were spacious, lovely and charming with varieties of flowers, plants and even grapes growing around the property. The pool area was beautiful and made for a relaxing place to cool off from the summer heat. The room was designed nicely with clean, comfy towels, hand and bar soap as well as plush beach towels. The wi-fi worked perfectly and having Apple TV was a nice touch! Walking distance to Town, the supermarket and Hampton Synagogue. The beach is also walk-able or easily bike-able. Thanks!"

Quick Show(s) Review: Nikolaj Kunsthal
Hi Team, We just got back from seeing two shows and a performance by Sophie Dupont at Nikolaj Kunsthal. Sophie's performance was quite touching, and we look forward to sitting down with her and talking about that among many other things. We'll be doing that quite soon, so keep your ears peeled for that one.
But we also wanted to talk about the two shows we saw: Karen Sander's ZEIGEN. An Audio Tour through Copenhagen and Marika Seidler's Human Animal. Sander's show is completely audio based, so when you walk into the exhibition space, you only see blank wall space. This is a little provocative, and also quite funny if you think about it. As you get closer to the walls you see artists names in small lettering and a number, which is the number you type into your audio guide device in order to "see" the artist's work. It turns out that there are tons of artists in the show, and if you know anything about arts here in Dk, then you realize that it is a veritable greatest hits lists of Danish artists. Pretty much everybody, or at least a huge pile of them. There are a few up and comers as well, but the big names obviously jump out at you.
And therein lies the weakness of the show. It doesn't matter that there are so many people contributing to the show, the problem is that some of them obviously put more thought and effort into the work than others. Let's be frank. Audio is a hard goddamn format to make art in. And the thing that seemed to happen was that the works all started blending together pretty quick. Now, most of the artists asked to contribute are not usually working with audio (or at least not primarily), so they may not have really developed a mature output in said format yet. This is ok. But what happened was many of them reached for similar tools and methods in order to complete the project. Individual works had a hard time asserting themselves, and so the whole thing quickly became a slog of sorts.
Now here is where you might say, "jesus guys, how about you stop trashing the show?" Here's the thing, it's actually a good show. The concept is strong, and the slog might just end up working in the end. It may not be easy, but since it's so vast, the piece as a single work actually is quite good. This is why it's not a group show, but a show by Sander. The other hilarious thing, which we think may just be one of the strongest points, is that in the beginning you are just staring at a blank wall, listening. The usual method of behavior in a exhibition space is so strong that you stay there like a dummy, staring at nothing. Eventually you realize that there is no anything, just sound, so you are free to wander. It's pretty interesting how overpowering the patterns for art exhibition viewing can be. In this case, just be prepared to put in some serious work and time if you want to hear every piece. There are a lot of them.
The other show, Human Animal, is hilarious. Really, in a great way. It's a few video pieces and sculptures which explore the symbiosis and dichotomy of humans and animals (and the difference is...?), which you might think is open for some particular heaviness, but really, it's hilarious. Now, we know that is not the usual way to talk about an art show, but we aren't about the usual way around here. And really, we mean it in a good way, hilarious. Who doesn't like hilarity?
There isn't a lot of work in the show, but the pieces are quite impressive and somewhat imposing. The first two videos use headphones for the audio, so you are greeted by simple moving images at first. The final video, at the end of the hall, has a loud audio, so the sounds of that show fill the hall continually while you see the other works. We'll get to what that sounds like.
First thing: five video projections, left to right, of men talking and interacting with horses. The pieces turns out to be about management training courses for business folk which uses horses. Pretty cool. Secretly funny.
Second thing: three video projections of people interacting (like you would with your own baby) with lifelike silicon human baby dolls, which are majorly creepy. It's heartbreaking, fucking creepy, and yes, pretty damn funny too. In a black way. The actual dolls lie in a some cardboard boxes to the left of the projections which are laid out like cribs. Holy shit yo.
Third thing: 4 video projections, each on their own wall of a room, with three woman doing some ol' fashioned hog callin' and then some video of some pigs and piglets. The piggy noises these women are making are the ones which fill the whole hall, and let's just say these ladies are not afraid. In fact, they own it, they live it, they might just love it; they can squeal and snort like a pig. And it's loud. So keep in mind that the whole time you are interacting with this show, there are three ladies snortin' and squealin' away. And guess what? HILARIOUS. Plus, them piggies are cute.
So, what does it mean? We think it's a great show. It's dealing with a fairly hefty topic (the babies) and some very interesting ones (animal-human relationships and boundries) and it really does it without too heavy of a hand. It's really great to interact with art which makes you think without too much emotional manipulation. Marika invites you to join her in her considerations, but she isn't afraid to leave things open to your own understanding.
Our quick review: Go see both shows, they are both interesting in their own way. Let's support humor in art.
Marika Seidler and Karen Sander at Nikolaj Kunsthal, both up until 26th of Jan, 2014. Peep it.

By the light of the silvery moon…….by Anne Goulden November 30, 2016 conservation area fall hike Lorne C. Henderson super moon walk
Join Lambton Wildlife for an evening walk at the Lorne Henderson Conservation Area outside of Petrolia. Discover how easy it is to see and walk under the natural light of a full moon and use your other senses to experience the nocturnal world around you.
So enticed by that invitation, and the news that this moon was the brightest full moon to be seen for the next 18 years , 35 adventurous people joined Donica Abbinett on her moonlight walk on November 14th at Lorne C Henderson Conservation Area.
Only a walk you say.. but Donica is not a mere guide, she is a Certified Hike Leader through Hike Ontario and has lead hikes for both Thames Valley Trail Association (TVTA) and Grand Valley Trail Association (GVTA).
Once we gathered at the entrance, we realize what a certified guide meant…it meant organized, ready for any eventuality,
- 1st aid kit in the back pack,
- glow-sticks to mark uneven/wet areas in the trail
- flashlights for any one who forgot one
- red covers for the flashlights to prevent ruining our night vision.
- Accurate participant counts before and after the hike
- Conscripted volunteers to mark the turns as human posts so to not loose anyone
- A person at the end of the line to pick up the glow sticks (leave nothing but your footprints) and make sure no one got left behind tying a shoelace
- And she had mapped out the walk earlier to make sure there were no unpleasant surprises ( I thought dragons…others thought ankle breaking holes..to each his own)
Donica started us out at a fast pace, but slowed down once she warmed us up. The moon was so bright there was no need for flashlights. We walked for 2 hours and covered about 5-5.5 km by 9pm.
35 people are not the quietest group to walk through an area with most of the leaves on the trail, and an enjoyable time was had by many socializing. This was the reason the night creatures gave us a wide birth, but we did hear dogs barking, geese honking and at least one "scurry " through the leaves of something. But what we did have was fresh air, a beautiful moonlight night and a wonderful leader showing us a night walk or hike could be a wonderful experience out in nature.

|§ 101. Two Theories of the Affliction: (a)…
|Next »
§ 101. Two Theories of the Affliction: (a) Possession by Evil Spirits (b) Insanity.—Analogous Phenomena in other Times.
There are two points of view, opposed to each other, but yet, perhaps, admitting of an intermediate ground, in which we may contemplate these forms of disease; they may have originated either (a) from internal causes in the soul itself, or (b) from causes entirely outward and supernatural. Those who adopt the first view confine their attention to the characteristic symptoms as reported, and compare them with the very similar ailments, the diseases of the mind and of the nervous system, which not only existed in that age, but have appeared at all subsequent periods.226226 Similar diseases, occurring in the first centuries, were explained in this way by the physicians.—Orig., in Matt., xiii., § 6. Those who strictly adopt the latter view adhere closely to the letter of the narrative, and make no attempt to distinguish what is objective in it from what is subjective; but see in the miserable demoniacs only passive instruments of evil spirits.
If, in accordance with this view, we admit no intermediate agency, but
ascribe the phenomena immediately to evil spirits, the cures must be directly attributed
to Christ's dominion over the powers of the other
146world; thus strikingly showing his supernatural control over a
supernatural cause of disease. And, on the other hand, if we class these
phenomena with diseases of the mind in general, and consider the supposed
indwelling of evil spirits only as a symptom grounded on natural causes, we
shall more readily be able to conceive how a disease arising entirely, or, at
least, chiefly from a psychical cause, could be cured by a purely psychical
agency. Nor would this in the least degree deny, or even detract from, the
miraculous character of Christ's acts; for to restore a raving maniac to reason
by a look or a word was surely beyond all natural psychological influence, and
presupposed powers transcending all ordinary agencies. It is true, we find
analogous cases in later times, in which great things were wrought by immediate
Divine impressions, and by devout prayer in the name of Christ.227227 We must not take the
spirit of an age of materialism or rationalism as a rule for judging of all phenomena
of the ψυχή, which veils within itself the
Infinite; which is capable of such manifold
excitement; and whose various powers are alternately dormant and active—now one
prevailing, and now another. An age may be destitute of certain phenomena and experiences,
because it has no organs for developing them; and this would prove no thing against
their reality.
Although I can hardly think it possible that the view given in the text, taken in connexion with the general principles of this book, can be misunderstood, yet, in order to guard against a possible misinterpretation, I deem it best to add, that it was far from my intention to do away with the distinction between the natural and the supernatural, or to trace the latter entirely to the developement of powers inherent in the ψυχή. I wished only to point out the organ, the point of contact, in the ψυχή, for supernatural communications and influences; to show that it is itself supernatural in its hidden essence, which looks forward to be unfolded hereafter in the higher world to which it is allied.
Not only at the time of Christ's appearance, but also in the centuries immediately following,228228 As seen in the Fathers, and in Lucian's Philopseudes. many forms of disease like those called demoniacal in the New Testament were spread abroad; and we may infer that the same cause was at work in both periods.

Avnet's local team has confirmed it will rollout a new program to hook up partners looking for third-party services assistance with other partners.
The US-based Avnet Technology Solutions' new OneTech Connect program aims to bring channel partners together to utilize each other's expertise and expand their services capabilities. Technical and professional services will be split across five categories: implementation, consulting, managed services, integration and support.
Under the proposed program, Avnet will recruit and qualify partners to act as OneTech providers and manage the rules of engagement, contracts and service monitoring. Services will be available at fixed prices. In a statement, Avnet's technology and market solutions vice-president, Jack Morris, said the goal was to provide partners with a way to quickly, and cost-effectively, expand their menu of high-quality services.
Local marketing director, Michael Costigan, said it hoped to launched a similar program in Australia early next year and would look at conducting trials with select partners later this year. The service would eventually be available to all Avnet partners.
"The key thing is to get feedback from partners on what works and what doesn't," he said. "We are a value-added distributor, but we don't want to be an impediment to our business partners' services practice.
"This initiative will be for those who don't have a services arm - we will act as an aggregator and team them up with other partners.
"The trick is not to introduce competitors into a customer account they could potential take away. We will sit down with both sides and go through a service level agreement to make clear who does what." Avnet currently offers an ad-hoc matchmaking services to ISVs looking for infrastructure integrators. The new program would enable it to grow this on a much larger scale, Costigan said.
He agreed there had been an increase in partners working with each other to provide more holistic services to customers. "Demand really started with the ISVs - increasingly they're choosing to concentrate just on selling applications, and looking for partners who specialise in systems integrator to work with on the hardware side," he said.
Avnet would also look at providing an online directory for partners to tout their wares across different categories like industry or geography, Costigan said.

"What Would Stop You?"
How One Business Owner Makes A Difference
When Kathy Glass first got involved with Cope four years ago, she was impacted by the families she met. "I got to meet some of the families Cope serves," she explained. "And it really touched my heart. I decided to do whatever I can to stay involved with this organization because they do the right thing."
Kathy believes that Cope's work of supporting families going through tough times is vital. "It's important for parents to know that there's someone there that can help. Sometimes in life, things change when you don't expect it. You didn't realize you were going to lose your job, get in an automobile accident or get injured at work. When you are living paycheck to paycheck, you aren't able to plan for that." Thanks to Cope, parents facing financial hardship can get baby formula, diapers or gift cards for clothing, groceries and medicine. In addition, if a family needs help beyond what Cope offers, we help connect them with other resources in the community. "You're a one stop shop," said Kathy.
Giving back to the community is important to Kathy. "One of the things my family always instilled in me was to always come up with a way to give back, whether it was volunteering or financially helping. So for me, it's an everyday part of living. It makes me feel good to help other people; it makes everyone feel good to give someone a leg up or a helping hand."
Kathy supports Cope because she knows her donations help families in Napa thrive. "I don't hesitate to write my check and to help do whatever I can to support them. I'll tell anyone that will listen to me about Cope Family Center because it's the best!"
As a business owner, Kathy appreciates that her employees can come to us if they are ever in need. "After the fires, some of my employees came here and were helped and benefited greatly from everything that Cope could to offer," she said. "It's important for other businesses in the community to be involved with Cope. They can change people's lives with one small contribution. If you can change someone's life for the better, what would stop you?"

Obstacle Course Runner, Jade Skillen
Why do you use Beet It Sport?
I use Beet It Sport because I watched a documentary on it with cyclists and how it has such an impact on endurance. I thought I would try it and the first 2-3 races, I noticed a difference. That was just taking on board a couple of the shot size servings so now I wouldn't race without it!
How did you get involved in obstacle course racing?
I got involved in obstacle course racing because I was asked to take part with a friend around 4 years ago. I previously played professional football for Tottenham and West Ham Ladies, once I stopped playing, I needed something competitive to take its place!
What was the main appeal of obstacle running?
The appeal was how different it was to running – the feeling on the start line and the variety of fitness needed from strength, to cardio, to agility.
Do you have an athlete role model who has inspired you?
I am actually really inspired by Lindsey Webster, she is an obstacle course racing (OCR) world champion and I follow her training techniques daily. I am inspired by her!
What area of training are you most working on for the World Champs?
For the World Championships I am working on HILL running. There's A LOT of climbing in the World's, Lake Tahoe. I think around 4,200ft of elevation so it's going to be tough! I am also working on heavy carries too.
Tell us something that most people don't know about you?
Most people don't realise that I'm only 4 foot 11 until they meet me! (haha!)
What are your top three sport nutrition tips?
- Never skip breakfast. I always fuel up at breakfast with high amounts of protein.
- Keep your "processed food" intake to a minimum, as well as un-natural sugars!
- Don't underestimate hydration.
What are your top three training tips?
- REST – make sure you take time OUT of training to rest. Take a walk, don't be afraid of REST days.
- Sleep well. The muscles rebuild when we are at rest and sleeping plays a huge role in fitness and recovery.
- Never underestimate the strength of your body. You are always capable of more.
Can you give us an insight into your race strategy – nutrition fuelling, hydration management?
My race strategy is focused on energy SLOW release carbs PRE session or PRE endurance events. I always have rice the night before a race when putting my kit out on the side the night before. I always take on board electrolytes and 1L of water the morning before a race. I cannot race without Beet it Juice. I keep stocked up and take on board Beet it Juice around 48 hours leading up to a major event. The morning of a race I tend to have a homemade Chia pud for breakfast made the night before from Chia Seeds and Coconut milk!
Who are the most important people in your life?
My family and partner mean everything to me. My nan has ALWAYS inspired me – from standing on the sideline at football matches to ringing me the night before a race. My clients are so important too, they are always supporting me. My friends and my special boy, Ronnie – my dog!

Seven NZ sailors competed in the SPLM at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron over 4 days - 24-28 July.
Light winds and fine warm weather were generally the order of the day, with only one of the seven races completed having more than 8 knots of breeze. The wind was generally light and fairly shifty on shore breezes, with the exception of one race on Sunday completed in a very shifty SW breeze before this died and the sea breeze filled in later in the day.
It was a very successful regatta for the NZ team with Matt Blakey taking out the Standard Rig overall and Scott Leith victorious in the Radials. Other sailors having good regattas were Bob Blakey, 4th overall in the Standard Masters and first GGM, Nick Page 5th overall and first GM and Greg Wilshire, who had a great regatta but was unfortunate to get score OCS in the last race after another strong result.
RQYS is a magnificent venue and the regatta was excellently run both on and off the water. It was certainly no hardship having to put up with the 24 degree daytime temperature after leaving the wind and rain behind in Auckland and I would recommend it for a mid winter break to anyone thinking of competing in future years.

The following letter from YNZ introduces insurance packges they have negotiated for yacht clubs with AON.
Pupuke Boating Club hosted the 2014 Fresh Water Champs over the weekend of 17 and 18 May.
The regatta was well attended with 40 boats, 26 in the full rig class and 14 in the radials. It was classic autumn conditions on the Saturday with a relatively steady 15-18 knot breeze from the south. With a relatively short start line there was a real emphasis on clear air and having the ability to get on the right side of the first shift in order to stay at the top of the fleet.
Andrew MacKenzie from Kohimarama Yacht Club showed his intensions early in the full rig winning every race on the first day. The competition for the remaining places in the top ten was very tight with many of the sailors exchanging places during the first day.
In the radial fleet Scott Leith continued his dominant form on the first daywith his closest completion coming ftrom James Jennings and Richard Blakey.
Sunday dawned cold, crisp and sunny, had no real breeze to speak of. The race committee was fortunate enough to get away one start late in the day. This was very much a light air affair with thin veins of pressure providing good rewards to those who were able to keep their heads out of the boat.
The final race on the Sunday allowed each sailor to drop one race so in the end it was the results on the Saturday that largely determined the results.
The Pupuke Boating Club again enjoyed very generous sponsorship with a well attended prize giving with great spot prizes up for grabs. All in all it was another great weekend and Pupuke Boating Club is looking forward to hosting the event again in 2015.

(Repeats with no changes. The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters)
By Andy Home
LONDON, March 29 (Reuters) - Has the copper price rally which started so spectacularly late last year run out of momentum?
The London Metal Exchange (LME) price, basis three-month delivery, hit a nine-month high of $6,204 per tonne last month, since when it has churned in a broadly directionless range below the $6,000 level.
This is all the more surprising given the severity of the supply-side hits that have been grabbing the headlines.
The strike at the world's largest mine, Escondida in Chile, has ended. But at 43 days it was longer than expected and, factoring in a gradual ramp-up to full production, is going to translate into some 230,000-240,000 tonnes of lost output, analysts reckon.
The world's second largest mine, Grasberg in Indonesia, is operating at only 40 percent of capacity due to an increasingly acrimonious dispute between operator Freeport McMoRan and the Indonesian government.
Cerro Verde, another huge copper mine in Peru also operated by Freeport, is also seeing protracted strike action, albeit with uncertain impact on output levels.
And yet the copper price seems uninterested.
This is, simply put, because there is a lot of the stuff around.
Global exchange stocks of copper have surged by around 167,000 tonnes so far this month to 750,000 tonnes, the highest level since mid-2013.
Physical premiums everywhere are bombed out at extremely low levels.
It all seems confusingly counter-intuitive until you factor in a hidden supply surge in the form of scrap metal.
Scrap plays an important role in all industrial metal markets but it is a notoriously opaque part of the supply chain.
Although it ends up being refined into new metal by big operators such as Germany's Aurubis, its collection and storage is handled by a host of much smaller entities, many of them still family-operated even in the developed world.
That means there is much statistical darkness as to what is actually happening in this part of the market.
But the surest signal is price.
Graphic on U.S. copper scrap pricing:
Scrap copper is priced as a discount to the primary copper price, whether that be the one traded on the LME or the CME in the U.S.
And those discounts flexed sharply wider when the copper price rallied over the course of October and November last year.
According to assessments by S&P Global Platts, No.1 bare bright, the highest-purity form of copper scrap, traded at flat to the CME price in the second quarter of last year but flexed out to a discount of nine cents per lb ($198 per tonne) in November.
The discount for No.2 scrap, typically containing 94-96 percent copper, followed the same pattern, widening from 20-21 cents per lb in the middle of 2016 to 40 cents at the start of 2017.
The price patterns imply a surge in supply, triggered by the improvement in outright pricing.
Further evidence comes from China, the world's largest buyer of copper scrap, just as it is the world's largest buyer of mine concentrates and refined metal.
Scrap import volumes rose by 24 percent to 549,000 tonnes (bulk weight, not contained copper) in January-February, a noteworthy break of a long-running trend of falling imports.
And Aurubis itself, which is one of Europe's biggest copper scrap processors, told analysts on its Q4 2016 conference call that it is filled up with scrap until the end of the second quarter of this year.
Everything points to a wall of copper scrap hitting the market over the last few months.
And this is typical of how scrap supply behaves.
The small and fractured nature of the scrap supply chain mitigates against sophisticated price hedging.
Rather, when the price falls, scrap dealers simply stop selling, releasing accumulated stocks only when the price recovers and they can sell at a profit again.
This collective behaviour means scrap supply dwindles in a falling price environment and surges in a higher one, effectively acting as a balancing mechanism on rapid price moves in either direction.
It also directly impacts both copper production and consumption.
With better availability, copper refiners such as Aurubis can lift the amount of refined metal they produce from scrap.
But many fabricators, such as brass and rod mills, also have the ability to feed scrap directly into their product mix, displacing some of their requirement for refined copper cathode.
They will only do so if the price is right. And with those wide discounts still holding in the United States, the price is currently right.
Unlike the wall of mine supply that washed over the copper market last year, this wall of scrap is much harder to track and quantify.
But one analyst, David Wilson at Citi, suggests that scrap supply feeding into both the production and consumption sides of the copper market balance ledger may increase by as much as a million tonnes this year relative to last. ("Copper - miners strike down any hope of a supply surge in 2017", March 28, 2017)
That eclipses Citi's calculation of 375,000 tonnes of mine copper supply lost to disruption so far this year.
And even though Citi and other analysts are collectively raising their "disruption allowance" calculations for global copper mine supply this year, the impact would still be largely mitigated by scrap if Wilson's estimate is anywhere near correct.
But there is a sting in this scrap tale.
The current wave of scrap permeating the copper supply chain is by its very nature a one-off phenomenon.
Once stocks of material accumulated during the weak price environment of 2015-2016 are released, that will be it.
Until the effects are fully played out, however, scrap is going to remain an important market balancing mechanism, smoothing the anticipated transition from supply surplus to supply deficit in the copper market.

I don't know what is up with me this week, but all I want to do is sleep.
Actually, I probably do know what is up with me.
1. Anxiety over the future has hit now that graduation is over. Surprise, surprise.
2. I chipped a bone in my foot Sunday and probably also pulled a ligament in my ankle so now I'm on painkillers and muscle relaxers.
3. The roommate moved out for good so I no longer have to deal with her blasting her absolutely atrocious rap music all the dang time so loud you can hear it from the front door of my building (not kidding. I went to get food late one night and could hear her music as soon as I unlocked the main door, and there's a second door, and I live on the second floor, and her room is the furthest away from the stairs. and it was like 2 am.) She was, suffice it to say, a very selfish and inconsiderate roommate, and Holly and I are both relieved she's gone. The super could put someone new in her room, but he hasn't said anything yet, and I know he'll give us advanced notice.
(I actually had a nightmare that I came home one day and the roommate had moved back in. Talk about dread.)
Spring TV is ending this week. Guess there's no excuse for me not to start job hunting now, is there?
If only my body would stay awake long enough to do it.

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of over 28 isomers of linoleic acid found abundantly in the meat and dairy products.
linoleic acid has been shown to reduce body fat accumulation in several
animal models and CLA reduces body fat accumulation whether animals are
fed a high-fat or low-fat diet, as the mechanism involved in reducing
body fat by increased energy expenditure, which is observed within one
week of CLA feeding and is sustained for at least six weeks. The
increased energy expenditure is sufficient to account for the decreased
fat accumulation(1)
