Why Perfect Tests May Not be Worth Waiting For: Information as a Commodity
41 Pages Posted: 6 May 2020
Date Written: April 11, 2020
Information products provide agents with additional information that is used to update their actions. In many situations, access to such products can be quite limited. For instance, in epidemics, there tends to be a limited supply of medical testing kits, or tests. These tests are information products because their output of a positive or a negative answer informs individuals and authorities on the underlying state and the appropriate course of action. In this paper, using an analytical model, we show how the accuracy of a test in detecting the underlying state serves as a rationing device to ensure that the limited supply of information products is appropriately allocated to the high demand by heterogeneous agents. On the technical side, we find that in many settings, providing perfect information (or a perfect test) is sub-optimal, and a moderately good test is preferable. On the policy side, we use a numerical study of an evolving epidemic to confirm our theoretically derived insight that in the early stages of an epidemic investing on higher testing quality is not beneficial if testing availability is low.

Thirty-five percent of Americans in a new survey said they were comfortable with current market conditions, up from 26% who said this in 2015, Allianz Life reported Monday.
At the same time, 37% of respondents said recent volatility was causing them to worry about their retirement savings. Thirty-eight percent said if a severe market decline that caused them to lose a lot of money should occur, they would not have time before retirement to rebuild their nest egg.
The survey found that a desire for protection from these concerns has increased since the 2015 study. Asked about their retirement planning, 57% of respondents said they were willing to give up some potential gains for a product that would protect part of their retirement savings, up from 48% in 2015.
Researchers also asked what actions they could take in the five to 10 years before the start of retirement to help ensure a more secure retirement. Thirty-one percent said putting some of their money into a financial product that offered both a balance of potential growth (up to 10%) and some level of protection (no loss of money if the market dropped 10%).
The study said expectations of future volatility partly explained this need for protection. More than four in 10 survey respondents still feared a big market crash or a major recession on the horizon. As a result, interest in financial products that offer a balance of growth potential and protection is growing.
"Volatility matters, and while we see some increasing comfort with volatility, it is driving a simmering anxiety in many Americans," Paul Kelash, vice president of consumer insights for Allianz Life, said in a statement.
"This anxiety about the negative effects volatility can have on their retirement savings is very real and people are still searching for the right solutions."
Allianz Life conducted the online survey in April with a nationally representative sample of 803 adult respondents who are still working. An additional 234 respondents with investable assets of $200,000 or more completed the survey, bringing the total respondents with that level of assets to 515.
The survey found an even stronger preference from wealthier participants for a balanced financial product.
Seventy-eight percent of respondents with $200,000 or more in investable assets said it was important to have some of their savings in a financial product that protected it from market loss, compared with 69% of those with less than $200,000 in investable assets.
Not only that, 68% of the wealthier group said they were willing to give up some potential gains for a product that protected a portion of their retirement savings, compared with 55% of their less-well-off counterparts.
Allianz Life noted that whereas market volatility had stayed below its long-term average for most of 2017, as measured by the Cboe Volatility Index or VIX, this year it has been more dynamic.
In February, the VIX spiked 115% on one day as equities sold off significantly, and was at elevated levels throughout March because of increased geopolitical tensions. Since then, it has edged back toward normal levels, but is still elevated from last year's low levels.
"As market volatility becomes a more constant part of our financial landscape, Americans are recognizing the value of options that provide both opportunity and a level of protection," Kelash said.
"Because we can't be certain when the next major downturn will occur, it's important that people have the ability to grow their retirement savings while still safeguarding their financial future."

Villapún, VM, Medina, J, Pérez, P et al. (3 more authors) (2017) Strategy for preventing excessive wear rate at high loads in bulk metallic glass composites. Materials & Design, 135. pp. 300-308. ISSN 0261-3069
The effect of nickel additions to tune the wear performance of Cu45.5Zr51Al3.5 at.% alloy has been studied to present a new strategy for preventing excessive wear rate at high loads in metallic glass composites. This strategy consists on proper selection of a doping element in controlled concentrations with the ability to decrease the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the alloy so that the friction temperature during sliding is close to the Tg. This enables the formation of crystalline phases and their subsequent oxidation (lubricating layer) on the contact surface during sliding thus enhancing the wear resistance. Proper doping can also contribute towards the wear resistance when the content of the doping element promotes the martensitic transformation. The results show that the main wear mechanism for the three studied alloys (Cu45.5Zr51Al3.5, Cu44.5Zr51Al3.5Ni1 and Cu43.5Zr51Al3.5Ni2 at.%) is governed by delamination and the mass loss increases with increasing load from 1 to 10 N. However, for the maximum load of 15 N, the calculated friction temperature is close to Tg for the Ni-containing alloys and partial crystallization and oxidation take place resulting in a mass loss decrease from about 2.6 mg (at 10 N) to about 2.1 mg (at 15 N).

Hear these Spirts, Ghosts and Souls as they answer me DIRECT. Pico and Doorway Devices.
My newest MUST SEE video! If you enjoy real spirit communication, this is one you will not want to miss!
By this I mean that I am a better person today than I used to be 15 years ago. Kinder. Filled with love and positivity. I have an understanding of the afterlife and how it works, what happens when we die, and where we go. I have no fear of anything in life, not even death and I spend life without stress or worry. I make less money but am much happier in life as money to me does not equal success or happiness. Been there and done that before. Life is amazing, and the afterlife is also amazing.
We are about to launch into 2020, and I remember years and years ago (Maybe 6-7) predicting that by 2020 we may be having spirit answer us direct and more clear than ever before and well, it has come true but in 2019! I predict 2020 will be even better yet as I will never stop pursuing ways to help spirit speak and teaching others how to do what I do. Since my new Astral Doorway (will be complete in 2020) and even 2019's Black Beauty Portal, my sessions have truly jumped up a few levels. There are a dozen reasons why spirit has an easier time speaking in my sessions these days but #1 is the connection. #2 is technique. #3 is the device. #4 is the review.
THESE FOUR THINGS! (for those who want to know)
These four things are so important when recording true spirit messaging and as a whole it is so much more than any device. Every day I get emails asking me what is the best spirit box. My answer is almost always "YOU". YOU are the most important aspect when it comes to using a spirit box device. Without YOU connecting to spirit from within YOU, the device, app, radio is useless.
Once you establish this connection, then it gets much easier and this is when technique comes in. Technique I have spoken of many times in videos, and I have shared the knowledge I have learned over many years of first hand experience for anyone who wants to learn. Technique is important and without going about this the right way, communication is possible but will never get to deep "bonding" levels.
After you get the connection and technique down, the device you use is just as important. Many devices made for ITC (funny enough, some of what you see and is pushed on TV) are useless for real spirit work and communication. I see so many products sold for ITC that are simply rip offs yet at the same time, I see many that are fantastic. I always say that once you learn HOW spirits speak, it is easy to make a device to HELP THEM do just that and also see which products are scams and which are actually useful for spirit.
2020 is going to be awesome for real ITC research and I will be here as always trying my best to improve connections, clarity in response and sharing as much information as I can with all of you as I learn it myself. We are in this together my friends and those who are paying attention to it, YOU are at the forefront of this. In 20 years you can say "I was there at the start of the ITC movement"! Love you all and I am proud to lead the way in ITC to bring more love, respect, knowledge and understanding to all of this for anyone who wants to learn about it. LOVE IS THE KEY, and these words could not be more true.
Love you all!

It's quiet here, the preparation for re-opening is nearly complete. But, I know we aren't ready. Every morning I read the Arizona coronavirus update. Every morning, the number of cases and deaths increase. Today, the map shows Arizona dark red – scored at 100, the worst in the nation.
Indications of the increases are due in part to more testing, but more impactfully community spread.
Under these circumstances, I can't open the studio for classes or massage. I can't expect you to risk exposure coming back. We're doing all we can to minimize risks we can control, but the ones we can't control are the deciding factor in when we can confidently open.
Your health and the health of our staff are my top priority. With that in mind, I've made the decision that Desert Song will not open in June. We'll continue to monitor the situation, complete preparations to welcome you back and communicate along the way.
I would love to see you here as much as you want to be here. For now, thank you for your dedicated participation in our online classes, for the donations you've made and for support extended to Desert Song. Every day I am reminded of the love and connection of this community. Every day I am grateful for you.

Children with autism spectrum disorder or autism, require more intensive guidance to learn new subject. Besides having difficulty in focus, unpredictable and uncontrollable motoric movements are main factors which hinder their studies. Sometimes children with autism are unable to distinguish between multiple object. The aim of this research is to introduce family members and daily objects to children with autism by using game based on Kinect. This educational game is expected to be able to present primary family members which are father, mother, older brother, and little sister to autistic children in more pleasant way. This game can also be used to train focus ability and motoric movements of autistic children thus they can easily absorb the subject given in the game. This research is held in "Sekolah Rumah PintarAnak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK)", Salatiga and the subject used is based on the syllabus for elementary school of children with autism spectrum disorder. Autistic children get bored quickly when paying attention to a single repetitive stimulus for long periods of time or when facing the subject which is not interesting for them. Introducing family members in the different way like using animation with supported sound will make them more excited in learning the subject. This Kinect-base educational game was designed in reference to the results of interviews with the teacher and observations in Sekolah Rumah Pintar (ABK). The primary software used to built this game are Unity 2D/3D and Kinect SDK. The assets of the game were made using Inkscape software and the animations are made using DragonBones software. In a trial stage of this application, the students of Sekolah Rumah Pintar accompanied by their teachers are asked to play this game. From the questioner filled by the teachers of Sekolah Rumah Pintar (ABK), this game greatly attracts the attention of children with autism. This game is not only can help rehabilitating the motoric movements of children with autism but also can be used as a studying material for autistic children in elementary school.

What is Intravenous Therapy?
Did you know that IV nutritional therapies can be more effective than taking supplements orally? An IV can get nutrients right to the cells for immediate absorption and effectiveness. Completely safe and incredibly easy, IV therapy can bypass issues like nutrients not being absorbed properly.
Intravenous therapy is an infusion of liquids containing hormones, vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals directly into the bloodstream to be administered immediately by the circulatory system. An IV is inserted directly into the vein thereby allowing the nutrient rich liquid to enter the body much quicker and more effectively than oral medication.
IV Therapy works to aid those with…
- Neurological conditions
- Autoimmune conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, Psoriasis, etc.)
- Chronic fatigue, anxiety, toxicity, and depression
- Cardiovascular disease
- Fibromyalgia
- Acute and chronic gastrointestinal illnesses (IBS, ulcerative colitis, etc.)
- Severe, acute and chronic infectious diseases (such as Mononucleosis, influenza, herpes, etc.)
- Cancer
As we age the intestines become compromised, stomach acid decreases, and nutrient absorption becomes more difficult. In addition, inflammatory bowel conditions, including yeast overgrowth, cause malabsorption. With our IV Vitamin Therapy, patients' nutrient levels rise more significantly and have tremendous effects on metabolism, energy, and disease prevention and treatment.
Intravenous Therapy (IVs)
Dr. Kamau Kokayi, M.D., is an integrative and homeopathic medicine/healing specialist who offers nutritional counseling, including IV therapy, out of his Brooklyn NY and Los Angeles CA office. Dr. Kokayi has explored a number of different dietary therapies and was a vegan himself for 22 years. He studied intravenous therapies with the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and the Pan American Allergy Society. Scroll down to read more.

In Situ Elemental and Sr Isotope Characteristics of Magmatic to Hydrothermal Minerals from the Black Mountain Porphyry Deposit, Baguio District, Philippines Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 MingJian Cao, Pete Hollings, Noreen J. Evans, David R. Cooke, Brent I.A. McInnes, KuiDong Zhao, KeZhang Qin, DengFeng Li, Gabe Sweet
At the Black Mountain porphyry Cu-Au deposit in the Baguio district, Northern Luzon (Philippines), pre- and synmineralized rocks preserve magmatic and hydrothermal minerals (e.g., plagioclase, amphibole, titanite, and epidote) spanning the complete paragenesis of the deposit. Strontium isotope values in early crystallized plagioclase phenocrysts from all felsic porphyries can be divided into two types
Chlorite and Epidote Mineral Chemistry in Porphyry Ore Systems: A Case Study of the Northparkes District, New South Wales, Australia Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Adam Pacey, Jamie J. Wilkinson, David R. Cooke
Propylitic alteration, characterized by the occurrence of chlorite and epidote, is typically the most extensive and peripheral alteration facies developed around porphyry ore deposits. However, exploration within this alteration domain is particularly challenging, commonly owing to weak or nonexistent whole-rock geochemical gradients and the fact that similar assemblages can be developed in other geologic
A Microscale Analysis of Hydrothermal Epidote: Implications for the Use of Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry Mineral Chemistry in Complex Alteration Environments Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Ayesha D. Ahmed, Louise Fisher, Mark Pearce, Angela Escolme, David R. Cooke, Daryl Howard, Ivan Belousov
High-resolution, quantitative imaging of epidote from the Ann Mason fault block, Yerington district, Nevada, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has revealed at least two types of epidote (type 1 and type 2), each with different major and trace element chemistry. Type 1 epidote is coarser grained
Magmatic Fluids Implicated in the Formation of Propylitic Alteration: Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Strontium Isotope Constraints from the Northparkes Porphyry Cu-Au District, New South Wales, Australia Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Adam Pacey, Jamie J. Wilkinson, Adrian J. Boyce, Ian L. Millar
In porphyry ore deposit models, the propylitic alteration facies is widely interpreted to be caused by convective circulation of meteoric waters. However, recent field-based and geochemical data suggest that magmatic-derived fluids are likely to contribute to development of the propylitic assemblage. In order to test this hypothesis, we determined the oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of propylitic
Using Mineral Chemistry to Aid Exploration: A Case Study from the Resolution Porphyry Cu-Mo Deposit, Arizona Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 David R. Cooke, Jamie J. Wilkinson, Mike Baker, Paul Agnew, Josh Phillips, Zhaoshan Chang, Huayong Chen, Clara C. Wilkinson, Shaun Inglis, Pete Hollings, Lejun Zhang, J. Bruce Gemmell, Noel C. White, Leonid Danyushevsky, Hamish Martin
The giant, high-grade Resolution porphyry Cu-Mo deposit in the Superior district of Arizona is hosted in Proterozoic and Paleozoic basement and in an overlying Cretaceous volcaniclastic breccia and sandstone package. Resolution has a central domain of potassic alteration that extends more than 1 km outboard of the ore zone, overlapping with a propylitic halo characterized by epidote, chlorite, and
Linking Mineralogy to Lithogeochemistry in the Highland Valley Copper District: Implications for Porphyry Copper Footprints Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Kevin Byrne, Guillaume Lesage, Sarah A. Gleeson, Stephen J. Piercey, Philip Lypaczewski, Kurt Kyser
The Highland Valley Copper porphyry deposits, hosted in the Late Triassic Guichon Creek batholith in the Canadian Cordillera, are unusual in that some of them formed at depths of at least 4 to 5 km in cogenetic host rocks. Enrichments in ore and pathfinder elements are generally limited to a few hundred meters beyond the pit areas, and the peripheral alteration is restricted to narrow (1–3 cm) halos
Exploring the Green Rock Environment: An Introduction Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Orovan Evan, Hollings Pete
Exploration for porphyry deposits in the past few decades has become increasingly expensive, with new discoveries often occurring at considerable depths or obscured through extensive postmineralization cover (Schodde, 2017; Cooke et al., 2020a). Given these complexities, new exploration techniques or novel applications of known techniques are needed to ensure continued discoveries into the future.

Hyperspectral Imaging Applications to Geometallurgy: Utilizing Blast Hole Mineralogy to Predict Au-Cu Recovery and Throughput at the Phoenix Mine, Nevada Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2019-12-01 Curtis L. Johnson, David A. Browning, Neil E. Pendock
The Phoenix mine and predecessor operations in north-central Nevada have produced an aggregate of 5.2 Moz of gold and 550 million pounds of copper from an Eocene-aged Au-Cu porphyry-related skarn. The complex skarn mineralogy intimately associated with ore-grade mineralization poses significant challenges to blasting, mining, comminution, and process operations. These challenges are rooted in highly
Geometallurgical Concepts Used in Industrial Mineral Production Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2019-12-01 Steinar L. Ellefmo, Kurt Aasly, Aleksandra Lang, Veena S. Vezhapparambu, Camilo A.M. Silva
Geometallurgy has developed since the 1970s, primarily on metallic ore operations. In parallel, industrial mineral operations have been optimized through detailed deposit knowledge and market development, without making specific reference to geometallurgical concepts. The Norwegian mining industry is dominated by industrial mineral and construction material operations, and, in this paper, key differences
Predictive Models of Mineralogy from Whole-Rock Assay Data: Case Study from the Productora Cu-Au-Mo Deposit, Chile Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2019-12-01 Angela Escolme, Ron F. Berry, Julie Hunt, Scott Halley, Warren Potma
Mineralogy is a fundamental characteristic of a given rock mass throughout the mining value chain. Understanding bulk mineralogy is critical when making predictions on processing performance. However, current methods for estimating complex bulk mineralogy are typically slow and expensive. Whole-rock geochemical data can be utilized to estimate bulk mineralogy using a combination of ternary diagrams
Automated Core Logging Technology for Geotechnical Assessment: A Study on Core from the Cadia East Porphyry Deposit Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2019-12-01 Cassady L. Harraden, Matthew J. Cracknell, James Lett, Ron F. Berry, Ronell Carey, Anthony C. Harris
The Cadia East porphyry deposit, located approximately 20 km south of Orange, New South Wales, Australia, contains a significant resource of copper and gold. This resource is hosted within the Forest Reefs Volcanics and is spatially and temporally associated with the Cadia Intrusive Complex. To extract ore, the underground mine currently uses the block cave mining method. The Cadia East geotechnical
Constraining the Economic Potential of By-Product Recovery by Using a Geometallurgical Approach: The Example of Rare Earth Element Recovery at Catalão I, Brazil Econ. Geol. (IF 4.013) Pub Date : 2019-12-01 Lucas Pereira, Sandra Birtel, Robert Möckel, Bruno Michaux, Andre C. Silva, Jens Gutzmer
Geometallurgy aims to develop and deploy predictive spatial models based on tangible and quantitative resource characteristics that are used to optimize the efficiency of minerals beneficiation and extractive metallurgy operations. While most current applications of geometallurgy are focused on the major commodity to be recovered from a mineral deposit, this contribution delineates the opportunity

One nice thing about reading so much Hans Fallada (for an upcoming review/profile) is how often I think, "Okay, that sounds a lot worse than right now." But then there are moments like this exchange, between a former Army officer who now does entry-level labor at a hotel, and his landowner friend:
"Of course we took up the wrong attitude. I've discovered that ninety-nine percent of mankind have to torment themselves about money; they think of it day and night, speak of it, spend it, save it, start anew–in short, money is the thing round which the world revolves. It is only inexperience which makes us indifferent to money, not willing to speak about the most important thing which exists." …
"Studmann," asked von Prackwitz, bewildered and despairing, "Studmann, you haven't become a Socialist, by any chance?"
The former first lieutenant looked for a moment as perplexed and as startled as if he had been suspected of a murder. "Prackwitz," he said, "old comrade, the Socialists think about money just as you do. Only they want to take it away from you, so that they can have it. No, Prackwitz, I'm certainly not a Socialist. And won't become one either."
"But what are you?" asked von Prackwitz. "You must eventually belong to some group or party."
"Why?" asked von Studmann. "Why must I?"
"Well, I don't know," said von Prackwitz, a little perplexed. "We all eventually belong to something, for the elections if for no other reason. Somehow one has to subordinate oneself, to toe the line. It's, so to speak, orderly."
"But if no order exists for me?" asked von Studmann.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan's attack on personnel at Ft. Hoods army base was the act of a coward. Despite accolades heaped upon him by Imam Al Awlaki and others for carrying out a heroic and virtuous act and the only way a Muslim could justify serving in the US Army was to follow in the footsteps of Nidal Hasan.Im reminded of back home. Back home where I come from, when we weref aced the with a racist system of injustice known as Jim Crow, that gave rise to the bombings of the homes of my relatives and other black folk, we put our trust in Almighty God and sought relief in the American Justice system, flawed as it was, for remedies to our situation. Back home where I come from, when we as a people of darker hue were faced with the lynchings in broad daylight and with body-burnings that lit the night skies, we put our trust in Almighty God and sought relief in the American Justice system, flawed as it was, for remedies to our situation. Back home where I come from, when we were eye-level to eye-level with the evils of segregation, treated by unjust laws as no better than cattle or dry-goods, unable to educate our children much less our selves, we put our trust in Almighty God and sought relief in the American Justice system, flawed as it was, for remedies to our situation. Back home where I come from, we organized, we protested, we marched, we boycotted, we used labor strikes, we took over the administrative buildings at some of the most prestigious American universities. We struggled. Back home where I come from, we took principled positions and with those positions we brought about change. We changed the way the world viewed us. Our cause. Our efforts and our humanity. In 1967 Muhammad Ali, the famous American boxer, too had a crisis of faith. Of belief. Of conscience. He too faced the very real prospect of going into the American military to fight with the possibility of dying in an unjust war, Viet Nam. Muhammad Ali was directly threatened with imprisonment, the loss of his considerable wealth, loss of prestige, of social status and the prospects of earning a living for the rest of his life. But he took a principled position, HE REFUSED. He said NO! In the tradition of our collective Back Home he would battle it out in the courtroom. In a justice system, as flawed as it was, to openly and clearly expose the hypocrisy of engaging in an unjust military venture, that like Iraq, make some people very rich and others widows and orphans. Muhammad Ali would, by taking a principled stand, show the puppets and the puppeteers. And for doing this, he gained the admiration and respect of the entire world. The cowardly act of murder by Major Nidal Hassan Malik at Ft. Hood and the praise heaped upon him by Imam Anwar al Awlaki and others of that ilk may be the way they do business back home. Something they honor back home. But for all of those Muslims who have come to my home and feel that way, I say, Leave my Home. Because the principles under which we operate are much higher than yours. Our understanding of Allahs Guidance is much more pure than yours. Keep your garbage out of my home. Author Sh.

Now more than ever, college grads are catching the entrepreneur bug and planning to branch out on their own. It's no surprise, considering the job market is flooded with grads looking for work. If you think you have what it takes to generate your own income, the best time to start preparing is while you're still in school.
You can enhance your skill set and make connections with the right people by choosing classes that prepare you for life as a business owner. Whether you're a business major or not, you can take electives to strengthen your knowledge in valuable areas that all entrepreneurs need. Here are some of the top areas where you should focus on expanding your knowledge: (more…)
It's been a couple of years now since graduation, and I'll admit that I've not been the best at looking at something in my chosen field because, well, the money ain't that great at the bottom. I've had mild financial successes, certainly, since then, and I've been fortunate enough that, since my recent return to Atlanta and my subsequent return to unemployment, I'm not quite so hard-pressed for money. I've had enough time to do the one thing I didn't consider doing in college: look at the field and find a slow, sure way in.
There are ways in to writing, media, and publishing, though not the easiest things to find. Sure, every one of us wants to be a full-on writer and be recognized as such. But how do you get taken seriously? Where do you get your experience that every single employer seems to want? Freelance, my friends. There are a plethora of opportunities out there for sometimes editors, contributors, and ghostwriters. They may pay, they may pay a little, they may pay nothing at all. They are out there, though. Swallow the pride for a bit–my own, personal pride was easily the size of a basketball and went down about as well as a handful of fish hooks–but now I'm starting to get calls for projects, and things are looking up.

It's Friday y'all and do we have a treat for you! This HGTV-inspired jewel is a show-stopper and deserves some time in the spotlight. It's brought to you by the folks at New Creation Group. And their work never seems to disappoint, so you know it's going to be good.
With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and over 2,000 square feet of upgrades, it's a prize worth having. Perfectly sited in beautiful Lochwood, it comes freshly designed with fabulous interiors and countless high-end touches. Among these? A light-filled open layout, stunning chef's kitchen, snazzy wet bar, and wood-burning fireplace. But it's what you can't see that took this home from beast to beauty.
Thanks to Jeanna McIntyre of New Creation Group, we have the scoop.
A Winning Combination
"My husband and I worked together to create an open-concept living space that appeals to a broad spectrum of buyers. Young professionals and also families, and people downsizing," says Jeanna. "We were very inspired because this is truly an entertainer's dream house. It offers lots of options on where and how the space is used. The living and dining areas are interchangeable. While it already has the oversized island with seating for four, it also has plenty of space for a large dining room table in the front of the house or towards the back near the fireplace. Living and family room areas also provide flexibility. It could be one large area or the furniture could be split into two smaller areas. The private master suite features a huge custom-designed closet and a large bathroom, complete with a double shower. Both feature stylish barn doors."
Where Flexibility Meets Ease
From sleek finishes to chic lighting choices, every detail is pleasing to the eye! In fact, Jeanna tells us there are several aspects of the home that are unique when compared to most of the 1950s homes in the neighborhood.
"As you enter the front door, you are welcomed by an art niche perfect for an entry table and your favorite art piece," she says. "Then, you are captured by an inviting wet bar featuring the latest mid-mod backsplash with white glass and a touch of gold splatter paint glam. The floating fireplace adds a sleek focal point in the room and leaves space for a large TV above the stained mantle. The natural flow in the home leads you to the back of the house where we created a functional but decorative space for a small desk and electronics area, as well as a cedar stained mud space with decorative hooks. Both of these areas could be closed off by adding frosted glass doors for the families who need more built-in cabinet space for toys and games or those who might want a little less openness."
With Wow-Factor Glam
As the more creative half of the husband-wife flipping duo at New Creation Group, Jeanna understands that form must meet function. But she does it in a way that feels versatile, and effortless, and chic.
Her favorite feature in the home? In addition to the gorgeous wet bar off the kitchen, she says, "There is a pro-style 36-inch gas range offset by a stunning backsplash featuring designer Ann Sacks blue fire clay subway tile. The large pendant lighting over the island gives a classy retro white metal flare with a touch of gold bling. Master bathroom finishes offer a touch of marble sophistication, while the hall bath provides a subtle retro vibe. It features marble accents in the tub surround and a clean white vanity topped with cool retro lighting that looks like it came out of a 1950's diner."
And Functional Areas That Are A Dream
With a large laundry room, custom pantry, and huge master suite with double custom closet, storage issues are a thing of the past! The house also has a charming desk nook, mechanical closet, and nifty coat closet.
"This home is not just appointed with the designer touches and spaces one would expect from a whole house remodel at this price level, but it has also been updated mechanically to give potential buyers peace of mind," Jeanna adds.
For The Consummate Host
The Lochwood home is tailor-made for those who like to throw a good party. But Jeanna also says it's great for families or even a down-sizer or empty-nester.
"With over 2,000 square feet, this home is truly an entertainer's dream because of the open flow and layout. This, combined with a chef's kitchen featuring the pro-style gas range, and island open to the family room," says Jeanna. "It would also serve families well because little ones would always be in sight while mom and dad are making dinner in the kitchen. The deck out the back door provides the perfect place for outdoor parties and barbecue or another play space for the kids. For the couple who is downsizing, it offers a comfortable place to spend quiet evenings, hold dinner parties, host out of town family or the oversized garage out back provides just enough room for a workshop or space for bikes."
In Summary: Run, Don't Walk To Catch This Listing Before It's Too Late!
Jeanna's final thoughts? "For the discerning buyer who wants to get the most for their money this home is a great buy! Rarely can you find a home that's move-in ready, completely remodeled, with high-end finish-out, and has all of these features."
We couldn't agree more! See for yourself at the Open House this Sunday, July 21, 2 to 4 p.m.

Deuteronomy 34:1-12
European Christians had been disputing differences in theology and practice for centuries when Martin Luther, five hundred years ago this Tuesday, nailed a list of 95 points that he was willing and eager to debate onto the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, Germany. For a whole list of reasons that included political situations and economics and the development of new technologies like the printing press, this time the differences blew up quickly and violently and the smoke is just now really clearing.
The Protestant Reformation forced the Roman Catholics to make changes that they had been trying to avoid, and there was a movement called the Counter-Reformation that swept aside a lot of medieval superstitions and abuses, but did it too late and (as some would see it) not thoroughly enough. The Western branch of the Church split off into the Catholics, who recognize the authority of the pope, and Protestants, who do not. The Protestants split into various groups based on what they believe about the sacraments and how the Church should best be organized, with further complicating issues that usually have to do with nationality.
We have a window, over to your right, that is a monument to those days. At the top you can see Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the door. Below is a Scottish reformer named John Knox, over whose shoulder is the thistle that is the national flower of Scotland. Knox almost single-handedly oversaw the development of Scotland into a Protestant (and specifically Presbyterian and Calvinist) nation. Here he is shown telling off the French ambassador in 1572, when Charles IX of France ordered the massacre of over 70,000 Protestants all across France in the space of two days. On the bottom of the window is Roger Williams, exiled from Massachusetts because of being a Baptist, establishing Rhode Island as a colony that allowed freedom of conscience fifty years ahead of William Penn. (Surprising, isn't it? – the Baptists were the ones who established the separation of church and state in this country.)
The story of the Reformation is usually told in terms of kings and popes, debates and wars, but wild changes were lived out on the local level and it was very direct and personal.. There were times that the ancestors of the United Church of Christ, the Zwinglians, went through towns smashing windows like these because they were idolatrous, graven images. There were thousands and thousands of monks and nuns who had no place to go when their convents and monasteries closed. Who knew how to handle priests who were marrying? Music was being forced into the services and the Virgin Mary was being forced out. In southwestern England, at one point, there were riots where people grabbed the clergy and forced them to say mass in Latin the old way, not because they wanted the pope back, but because they had had enough of the changes and just wanted it all to stop.
It was rough. Change happens, and we don't always like it. Years later we may look back, though, and say we understand why it had to take place. Or maybe it will take longer than that. When did the Roman Catholics finally admit that people should understand what is being said in public prayer? December 10, 1962 – but it took ten years more to approve the translations.
When I was in tenth grade we had to memorize a long passage from "The Passing of Arthur" by Alfred Tennyson, where a dying King Arthur tells his old friend Sir Bedivere,
"The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfills himself in many ways
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world."
Times of great change come with a sense of both loss and hopefulness. They are tiring to live through.
Moses had led the people out of Israel and through great and terrible times in the desert. By the time of his death, the rest of his generation had died, all who had ever lived in slavery and known the Pharaoh's oppression. The entire people who survived and who would cross the Jordan into the Promised Land by that point had known no leader other than him. At the end of his life it was said,
"Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He was unequalled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel." [Deuteronomy 34:10-12]
In the early part of his leadership, however, Moses was not the revered figure we know. This was the man who was confronted by an enslaved Hebrew back in Egypt,
"Who made you a ruler and judge over us?" [Exodus 2:14]
Moses led people like that man to freedom and then heard them shout at him,
"…you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger!" [Exodus 16:3]
He had been the right man for the right time, but eventually it was time to let go, or maybe I should say, to let his people go, because they were headed on into a place which was not to be his place. At the last, he was reminded that the story of God's people did not begin with him and neither would it end with him.
"The Lord said to him, 'This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, "I will give it to your descendants"; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.' Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, at the Lord's command." [Deuteronomy 34:4-5]
Things don't begin or end with us, either. We are responsible to our forebears, and we are responsible to those who come after us. We receive the gospel and we hand it on. We must do both, and be grateful when we get a glimpse of the future that God has in store – and God knows what we do not: what lies over there, in the distance across the Jordan, in the country that we have not seen nor known and where we may never set foot.
So, let me tell you a little bit about how that grand vision may unfold on the local level in our own day. We are not going to be smashing windows or changing our worship practices. Still, we're dealing with a situation, in larger terms, similar to what happened with Luther. Technology changed in his day from handwritten manuscripts to printed books. In ours, we've already seen it switch from paper to screens.
So, see those speakers on the wall behind me? They were not here when the building was put up, they were added when the last organ was installed. Now that we will be changing the organ for one that works, those speakers are going to disappear. There will be new organ speakers, hidden on this side of the rafters so that they are less conspicuous. We're also working with a different company to improve the audio sound system and we will add a speaker above the existing black speaker you see on the beam to improve the sound from our microphones. And good news, the new speaker and the existing black speaker will be painted to blend into the wood they are mounted on.
What you will notice, instead of the speakers on the front wall, will be a screen on the right, beside the front window. That will be installed after Christmas and before the new organ, which we estimate will be ready for Easter. (Remember, please that that is an estimate.) The control board for the screen will be at the back of the sanctuary and you may see it as you come in, but not when you are seated.
We will not, I repeat, not be using the projection system to run announcements or try to replace the hymnals. We will be looking for ways this new screen can enhance our worship. You might see a great painting of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or of the Last Supper. Occasionally, there will be a sermon illustration. There could be pictures of someone's life shown during a funeral or a memorial service. And we could project a translation while the choir sings an anthem in Latin or Swahili. We are seeking to change in a way that makes use of new possibilities.
When I think about this stuff, I honestly get nervous. It is not my native turf. But I turn for insight to people who have a better handle on it than I do. I don't mean the techies, but historians like Phyllis Trible who, in turn, cites
"Mark Dyer, an Anglican bishop known for his wit as well as his wisdom, [who] famously observes from time to time that the only way to understand what is currently happening to us as twenty-first-century Christians in North America is first to understand that about every five hundred years the Church feels compelled to hold a giant rummage sale. …That is, as Bishop Dyer observes, about every five hundred years the empowered structures of institutionalized Christianity, whatever they may be at that time, become an intolerable carapace that must be shattered in order that renewal and new growth may occur."[1]
She continues,
"…every time the incrustations of an overly established Christianity have been broken open, the faith has spread – and been spread – dramatically into new geographic and demographic areas, thereby increasing exponentially the range and depth of Christianity's reach as a result of its time of unease and distress. Thus, for example, the birth of Protestantism not only established a new, powerful way of being Christian, but it also forced Roman Catholicism to make changes in its own structures and praxis. As a result of both those changes, Christianity was spread over far more of the earth's territories than had ever been true in the past."[2]
That last part is something that, God willing, I would love to live to see happen again. Yet if it does not happen in my time, I have no doubt that it will happen in God's time.

Singles and Other Singularities (The woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga Book 8) by Gaia B Amman – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Singles…And Other Singuylarities by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was pulled in right from the beginning. I enjoyed the emotional roller coaster that it took me on which left me turning pages fast. This is a well written story that has great attention to details. There is alot going on but it all centered around cancer research and funding that goes along with it and the search for love. The characters are a great support to each other and made the story realistic. I highly recommend reading this book to see if love is possible for them.

The best way to learn is by doing, boring lectures are not on the agenda! Our hugely popular workshops cover introductions to microcontrollers, 3D design and more. They are accessible to everyone but we also have more challenging projects and competitions for those with more experience.
We've built 3D printers, drones and maze-solving robots. If you have an idea for a project we can support you.
This year we are planning to defend our crown at the NI Robotics League and compete in the 2019 Robotics Day in Prague! All our workshops also include competitions with prizes to win.
Whether you want to compete against other universities, boost your CV or simply make friends, we are the society for you!

In January of 2012, the Sports Hall of Fame committee, with the help of Mayor Brian McMullan, officially unveiled the St. Catharines Sports Wall of Fame, located at Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Complex. The wall enshrines the names of the Hall of Fame Inductees, viewed by over 500,000 visitors each year.
On February 12, 2015, the Sports Wall of Fame was dedicated in honour of David S. Howes, a long time supporter of sports in St. Catharines. At the same event, the Wall of Fame, which is now located at the new Meridian Centre, was unveiled as part of the St. Catharines Sports Hall of Fame which officially opened to the public at the same event.With the generous support of the Fallsview Casino Resort, a permanent home for the sports history of the community is open for the public to enjoy!
