For 2 years, we've worked hard to build a company that reimagines real estate in your favour and not the agents. From removing the complexities of home buying to giving you the support you need to find that dream home, TheRedPin has strived to provide its customers with a golden experience.
Now we take a step forward. On Friday, November 16th, we rolled out a fresh new look to TheRedPin.com. We are reimagining the way you research, find and secure your dream home, taking the experience to a whole other level.

- New Meets Resale: New projects and resale homes have been integrated on to the same map, helping buyers make sound decisions on whether to buy a new property or an old one.
- Refined Advanced Search: Using the simple "+" on the side of the search field, individuals can refine their search right on the page and see their results in realtime.
- Faster Site: The site is now considerably faster, improving the overall user experience.
We Know What's Missing
We have received some great feedback and we are working to add some functionalities that most of you want to see. Here are a few things that we shall be adding to the upcoming update:
- Side bar with listings within a specific area.

Former Brookfield East student-athlete Greg Anger brought something special back with him when he returned from the Australian Paralympics Youth Games this fall.
His gold medal.
The talented Anger, who is a member of the University of Missouri wheelchair basketball team, was selected to play on the USA U20 team in the games.
He almost didn't take the invitation.
"They sent a letter of interest," Anger said. "I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that since we were in my first two weeks of practice (at UM). My coach didn't want me to go either."
But one of his former coaches, Mike Bauler, got a coaching job for the USA team and encouraged Anger to look into it.
Anger talked to University of Missouri coach Ron Lykins again, and they decided it would be a good opportunity for Anger and it would also help the Tigers with recruiting.
But now Anger had to wait for the call to see if he was officially selected.
"I was really excited," he said. "When they called me, I was shaking I was so excited."
Anger, who is a power forward for Missouri, played forward, point guard and guard for the USA team.
The team played against Team Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia, beating Western Australia, 68-55, in the medal round.
"It was a wonderful experience," said Anger's mom, Kathy, who made the trip along with Greg's father, Bob, and sister, Kelly. "We found out that Melbourne is a very progressive city.
"The venue was the location for the Commonwealth Games that were held there awhile back. The Australians were very impressed with our team, and as a matter of fact some of the competitors are interested in attending college in the United States."
Anger has cerebral palsy, which affects his stomach muscles and the tops of his legs.
"It's a birth defect," he said. "My mom wanted me to go out and do other things when I was growing up. We found this group in downtown Milwaukee which stressed independence first."
He took part in adaptive recreation programs they offered, which included basketball, hockey, football, water skiing and snow skiing.
Anger was more than competitive in various sports and he joined the Eighth-Grade National Wheelchair Basketball Association and has competed regionally and nationally with the Wheelin' Wizards from eighth grade through his junior year. He finished 37-1 in his final season, falling one game short of winning the championship.
"It was a real bummer," he said.
But Anger now has a gold medal to look at to help out wipe out that bad memory.

TSB Recommends Increased CRM Training
In the wake of its investigation into the January 2007 fatal crash of a Hawker Beechcraft King Air A100 medical transport in Saskatchewan, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is calling on Transport Canada to enact stricter regulations on crew resource management training for all aircraft operators in Canada. "CRM training can significantly improve flight crew effectiveness and provide crews with better coping skills to face emergencies," said David Ross, investigator in charge. Current regulations in Canada call for CRM training for pilots at large airlines, but such training is not required for companies providing air-taxi and commuter services. In its accident investigation, the TSB found that poor communication between crewmembers as they attempted to abort a landing was a factor in the crash.

Perfect bronzer for fair skin. The best one I've purchased so far without breaking my budget. Other bronzers tend to make my face look dirty, but this one is just sheer enough that it adds a pretty glow. I'm very impressed with its wearability; it lasts all day.
More reviews by cocolovescocopuffs
I'm shocked to say I actually like this bronzer. I bought it b/c I had a coupon and it was cheap ($3). I thought "no way this will be good" b/c it looked so orange in the store. But its very natural looking and the tone is just right. I'm fairly white (NW20) and this is pretty perfect for me. So many bronzers I try look bad on me, usually too dark and too obvious (and it gets worse as the day goes on). I find its hard to over do this bronzer. Its a fine line between good and really bad when I use my Hoola or Chocolate Soleil. This is much more forgiving to those of us with an unintentional heavy hand.

I really like the color. I'm pale, but this doesn't look too fake on me. Most of the time, I just use it to contour my cheeks a bit since I have really big, fatty cheeks that people love to pinch. My face looks super round, so I like to brush a bit of this bronzer near my jawliner and under my cheekbones to give my face a more narrow shape.
It isn't too orange and it doesn't have glitter. It seems to last on my face all day. The only problem is that it breaks me out :(
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Having bought several bronzers which were not exactly what I wanted (too much shimmer, color not right), I tried one more.
This one works well and I like it a lot. I use it for shading more than for a glow. It has nice color without shimmer.
It helps shade my very fair skin under my chin where the skin is pasty white, it sculpts cheeks, and hopefully distracts from the cheeks starting to sag. It's good tool to sweep the color (Sun Bronze) across the neck area just below my face which gets no sun.
Age aside, it brushes in nicely and blends well. Does not look obvious. The color is very nice and would work for any fair to medium skin to give a natural sun kissed look.
Can't beat the price either.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Every other bronzer I've tried has made me look dirty or sparkly and for the longest time, I had a very hate-hate relationship with bronzer. But since I'm in the middle of a hot summer, my pale ass needs to look like it actually gets sun, and I bought this bronzer after reviews on MakeupAlley. I find it applies exceptionally well, is easy to blend, and is buildable so I don't ever go overboard. It has pretty good staying power as long as I put on translucent powder beforehand. What I like most is the lack of glitter, though - very pretty, very natural. I will probably stick to this bronzer from now on.
I've only tried a few bronzers in the past and they all made my skin look dirty. I have tan olive reddish skin. This one was nice and neutral to stick in the shadows of my round cheeks. I have no cheekbones and a round moonpie lumpy face so I don't want to draw attention to my cheeks. It's a nice background healthy accent, especially when I want to do brighter eyes or lips.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Too light and sheer for me. Felt like I didn't have any bronzer on. The packaging isn't too sturdy and looks really cheap... hmm, too cheap. Smells too much like sunblock and doesn't slide smoothly on the skin.
I think this is a light coverage bronzer and I like how it doesn't have any shimmer in it. It's definitely a more natural sun kissed look, where you're not really going to notice that there is bronzer on your face, which is what I like. If you're looking for something more pigmented that you'll see as soon as you apply it to your face, this probably not the bronzer for you. But it's really affordable, so it might be worth giving a try anyway!
I have never tried bronzer before, but the estee lauder rep suggested I try it to distract from redness on my face. Well
I wasnt interested in their expensive version, so I turned to MUA and saw that this one was recommended.
First, I got it for 50% off at Walgreens. This is great so I wont be remorseful if I change my mind later and stop using it.
I am very fair and I got the lightest bronzer they have, Sun Light 021 (there were 3 colors). I just swirled my blush brush through it a couple times, applied it like blush (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead) and it looks great! It really is not too dark at all I was a little worried it would be really noticeable, but so far its not. Im sure you can achieve darker just by applying more. I like the option of keeping it light though.
I also like that its not shimmery. That was another turn off on the estee lauder one my face was so sparkly.

The W is within walking distance of the Nicollet Mall, Orchestra Hall. and the light rail lines that run to the airport and to St. Paul. Bike share and car share stations are close by, so take the blue line in from the airport and rid a bike around downtown.

Utilization of the old Foshay building is terrific and the museum portion is an added touch.

I was messing with this track and made this on accident, this has to be the scariest thing I have EVER heard in my life. It sounds like a horror movie song, I am literal terrified of this and had to share it with you.
alternate universe wherein Anna freezes to death and comes back as a horrifying undead wight with a misshapen, throbbing mass of mutated snow olafs that roll after you. She roams the halls, knocking on doors, searching for Elsa… come play, Elsa….
You are the only reason I like this monstrosity of an audio clip ;-;
I was waiting for art to be made for this LOL

This is how you lose her.
You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger's voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.
You must remember when she forgets.
You lose her when you don't notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you're about to ask a question but you think anything you're about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don't even know about yourself, because she pays attention.
She remembers when you forget.
You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.
You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.

Oh god yes, gimmie.
I would cry every time I washed my hands.
I would invent characters I've murdered and I would cry over them.
"Oh God, Jimmy. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I never meant to— Oh God."
this is
can I HAVE one of these?
i want to use this soap and come out of the bathroom screaming
and just kinda run away
casually reblogging after looking through my tags…. don't mind me….
This would be awesome.
want. want want want want want. waaant.
i would be all furtive about it and like leave my pocketknife out on the counter covered in bloodsoap and just mutter to myself shooting dirty looks at anyone who came in
I would put this in an ordinary soap dispenser at home. Then I would accidentally walk in on my confused guest washing their hands in the bathroom and scream "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SARAH!?"

Can we please just tell every middle schooler this instead of making them feel embarrassed by their existence and their need to try new things?

Looking Past the 'Orchestra Pit' on China
I went to an interesting exhibit of performance art yesterday at the Schindler house in Los Angeles. On display was the work of Andrea Fraser, but also the artist Lincoln Tobier who has been obsessed with Roger Ailes for over 20 years. He told the story of how Roger Ailes fathered the "orchestra pit" theory of the media with this question: "If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, 'I have a solution to the Middle East problem,' and the other guy falls in the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?"
Ailes has certainly taken his theory to new heights with Fox News. But it is pervasive now, and no more so than with China. Only certain issues with China make the headlines—the value of its currency, the new jet fighter, the recent brutal crackdown on artists and political activists. While those issues are each very important, what the media coverage of the US-China relationship does not tend to reveal is how broad it has become.

I visited this facility
The rooms are beautiful at The Moorings of Arlington Heights. The dining area is really nice. It's like you are eating in a restaurant. They have a swimming pool and a beauty salon. It's actually a wonderful establishment. The woman I talked to who is in-charge of everything is absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable. We had lunch there one afternoon and the food is terrific.
I visited this facility
The Moorings was also very nice and was in a nice campus. They only had 2 bedroom apartments but they had townhouses which had 2 bedrooms also. They had a lot to offer and I had no problem with the place. However, I was not that pleased with the marketing department. The fact that we submitted the whole financial application and they would not let us stay overnight in the guest apartment until they approve us. The receptionist was a little distracted and not that personable just like in a rush to get you in. I did meet the social worker, she was fine. There should be a little more sincerity in the part of the marketing. I thought she just wanted to snag a sale.
I visited this facility
We visited the Moorings, and it was very beautiful, but the way that they get their buy-in almost priced my mom out right away. It was very nice. She would have been happier because it was just so pretty, but it was a smaller community. I really like the grounds and the outside area. It just was very quiet, serene. It had a very comfortable, relaxing feel. The rooms were beautiful. The staff was very bright and willing to share the different activities with us.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My Grandmother and Grandfather moved into this facility about 12 years ago. The place is very nice, good food, a swimming pool, exercise facilities, small library, ponds, patios, excellent grounds, and many other great facilities. My grandparents stayed in the apartments, but as the years went on my grandpa had to move to the assisted living area. He was well cared for. My grandma still lives there today and has no complaints.

The Oakland Athletics shook off a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth by Mike Trout and beat the Los Angeles Angeles 10-9 in 11 innings at Angel Stadium.
The win was the fourth in a row for the A's (10-4), who have won eight of their last nine.
Jed Lowrie led off the top of the 11th against new Angel pitcher Yoslan Herrera (0-1) by lining a single to left. Josh Donaldson followed by screaming a grounder inside the bag at third for a double that chased Lowrie home to give Oakland the lead.
Jim Johnson (2-2) survived the bottom of the 11th to get his second win in as many nights, getting out of a second and third situation with two outs by inducing Howie Kendrick to ground out to Lowrie at short to end it.
Oakland rallied from a 6-3 deficit through four innings, getting two runs in the seventh to get close and then erupting for four in the eighth to take the lead.
Joe Smith came on to replace starter Garrett Richards, who allowed five runs in his seven innings for the Angels (6-8). Lowrie led off with a walk and moved up on Donaldson's single to left. Brandon Moss hit a sharp grounder that Albert Pujols deflected into no man's land in short right field, allowing Lowrie to tie the game and moving Donaldson to third. Yoenis Cespedes worked a walk to load the bases and Alberto Callaspo lined a single to right to give the A's a 7-6 lead.
That ended the night for Smith, who was lifted in favor of left-hander Jose Alvarez to face Josh Reddick. Oakland manager Bob Melvin countered with righty-swinging Derek Norris, who lined a single to center field that chased home Moss and Cespedes.
The Angels got one back in the bottom of the eighth. Reliever Ryan Cook issued a one-out walk to Kendrick, who moved to second on a single by J.B. Shuck and scored on a base hit by David Freese.
Sean Doolittle came on to try and close it out in the bottom of the ninth, but it got away from him quickly.
Kole Calhoun drove a ball into the gap in left-center for a double and Trout followed with a towering shot to left-center, his fifth homer of the season.
The Angels struck quickly against starter Dan Straily, getting two in the bottom of the first on an RBI double by Trout and Kendrick's RBI single.
The A's claimed the lead with a big third inning. Reddick led off with a walk and moved up on Craig Gentry's single. Eric Sogard grounded a single to right to bring home Reddick, with Gentry moving to third. Gentry scored on John Jaso's ground out and Lowrie doubled in the third run of the inning with a double to left.
Los Angeles chased Straily in the fourth. Chris Iannetta clubbed a two-run double to left and Calhoun connected for his third homer of the year for two more runs. Straily only made it 3.2 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts. But Drew Pomeranz worked 2.2 scoreless innings, allowing only a walk while striking out two, to keep Oakland close.
In the seventh, Reddick drew a one-out walk and moved up on a single by Gentry. Sogard singled to right to score Reddick and move Gentry to third, but Sogard was thrown out trying to take an extra base.
But Richards uncorked a wild pitch and Gentry scooted home to bring the A's back to within 6-5.
The Angels got back to within 9-7 in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI single by Freese.
Cook was charged with a run in his inning of work, with a walk and a strikeout. Otero allowed two hits and struck out two in his two-thirds of an inning. Doolittle was hit with his first blown save after giving up the two runs in the ninth and Johnson allowed a hit and a walk with a strikeout in his two innings of work.
The A's banged out 16 hits, with Lowrie Donaldson and Gentry each getting three. Norris went 2-for-3 after entering the game in the eighth and Sogard also had a pair of hits, as well as recording his first two RBI of the year.
The series wraps up on Wednesday, with Tommy Milone (0-1, 5.40 ERA) slated to face off against Tyler Skaggs (1-0, 2.40 ERA) at 7:05 p.m.

I used to subscribe to JSL. There does not appear to be any language restriction on articles. Most articles are in English. Almost all the rest are in French. I think I have seen German and Russian, very rarely. JRSpriggs (talk) 07:45, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- The instructions for authors don't mention anything about language (but they're very brief anyway). I browsed through several issues on JSTOR and did not see a single article not in English. Perhaps this was something they did in the past but not now? Do you have an example of a recent article not in English? For the moment I have reverted your change, but if there is evidence otherwise, then that can be reverted again, of course. --Crusio (talk) 09:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Medical imaging using magnetized rare gases was invented in 1994 to provide a way to study diseases of the lung, heart, and brain that depend on the flow of gas and blood through the vital organs. This marriage of AMO science and medical imaging grew out of the basic study of the atomic nucleus.
But how did this connection between AMO physics and medical imaging come about? It started with some basic research on helium by Luis Alvarez at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1940s. He discovered a form of helium gas, 3He, that behaves like a tiny bar magnet. 3He is abundant in the universe but exceedingly rare on Earth—the world's supply amounts to only about 1 ton. There is more 3He in the rocks on the Moon's surface than on our planet. In recent years, there has been a steady supply of the gas from an unusual source: Although 3He is not radioactive, it is produced from the radioactive decay of tritium, the form of heavy hydrogen present inside nuclear warheads.
Because 3He is a gas, its atoms are randomly oriented at room temperature, so the total magnetism in a bottle of it is essentially zero. However, scientists studying the basic physics of atomic collisions perfected an optical pumping scheme that uses polarized laser light to align most of the 3He with their magnets pointing in the same direction. This creates a very unusual material: a gas that acts like a bar magnet. It was later recognized that this new "breathable magnet" might have marvelous properties for imaging the lung and the circulatory system. But many technical obstacles had to be overcome before this promise could be demonstrated in the 1990s, when the first magnetic images were obtained using this technique. Now, only a few years later, breathable magnets are producing dramatic images like the ones shown on the opening page of this chapter. Tiny features in the lung, brain, and circulatory system are visible for the first time.
Following its development in the mid-1970s, researchers quickly discovered (in 1981) that the excimer laser, a product of years of AMO research, could be used to cut away skin tissue in a much better fashion than previously possible. This type of laser produces light in the ultraviolet region and, as shown in the image below of a cross section of a human aorta after it has been irradiated with an excimer laser, a laser scalpel of this type can produce a well-defined and controllable cut in biological tissue.
By contrast, an image of a human aorta irradiated with longer wavelength light—pulsed green (532-nanometer) light, for example—would show an incision characterized by burning and charring.
Laser surgery carried out with excimer lasers is a good example of how AMO science has led to new and improved surgical techniques. Indeed, in the ensuing years, AMO scientists collaborated further with medical doctors interested in using these effects for cutting and etching the cornea, artery walls, and skin while minimizing unwanted collateral damage.

U.S.-based Superior Venture Corp.'s subsidiary company Illustro Pictures Limited is expected to continue its growth within the Chinese movie market after several years of 25-40 percent annual growth.
Said President and CEO Brian Hammond, "We are seeing a huge demand for Chinese domestic films to fill the roughly ten new movie screens that open in China daily, making it the fastest growing and second largest movie market on the world. The leading Chinese studios that we have developed relationships with are looking at multiple projects, all of which could use the co-development and production capabilities of our subsidiary, Ilustrato Pictures. We believe that the 25% to 40% plus growth that resulted in record box office for China in 2012 directly benefits our Company. We are out to capture significant co-development projects that utilize our talented writing, development and production resources. With that kind of growth, we could see multiple large scale projects developed within 12 to 24 months."
Illustro is also in the process of multiple co-development agreements with various Chinese film studios.
Ryan Murray, the Motion Picture Associations's director of content protection, Asia Pacific, delivered a brief presentation on the continuing problem of piracy in key Asia Pacific markets such as China and India.
The biggest problem is that both countries lack proper laws designed to prevent camcording. The MPA is lobbying local authorities to establish new laws, but it's clearly not happening fast enough.
Forensic matches, a process by which the MPA analyzes pirated copies in order to figure out where they came from, have increased by 45% year/year for a total of 119 this year in the Asia Pacific. India has the most with 66, followed by Thailand with 30 and 14 in China.
Pirating in India is largely concentrated in three cities: Ahmedabad, Indore and Ghaziabad. "We're dealing with three well-organized criminal syndicates," Murray warned.
One piracy site that Murray drew attention to is Tom365.com, a Chinese site that allows users to stream films instantly. The page ranks #1,381 in China, according to Alexa.
A question from a member of the audience addressed the lack of legal streaming in the Asia, where sites such as Hulu and Netflix are not available in key markets. Murray answered by stressing the need for a healthy content environment before distributors are willing to establish legit streaming models.
Sunder Kimatrai, 20th Century Fox International's senior vice president, Asia Pacific, broke the ice with the first studio presentation of CineAsia 2012.
Kimatrai began with praise for Life of Pi. Ang Lee's stirring drama has grossed $106 million from 11 Asia Pacific markets. China leads with a staggering $68.2 million, followed by India with $10.4 million. "They weren't kidding when they called this the next Avatar," Kimatrai quipped. The VP pleaded for convention attendees to keep the film on screens as long as they can. "I think we're just getting started," Kimatrai boasted.
The rest of 20th Century Fox's presentation consisted of trailers and extended clips for new films. The reel kicked off with an introduction from Hugh Jackman. The Croods and Epic were featured prominently, and the new footage looks stunning. Kimatrai also touted films that he had no footage for: The Internship with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, The Wolverine, Percy Jackson and the Sea Monters, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller and Runner Runner, a drama about the world of online poker with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake. Of those, The Wolverine and Percy Jackson should post the strongest Asia Pacific numbers.
A trailer for The Sessions received an enthusiastic response from the mostly Asian crowd. Unfortunately, Kimatrai bemoaned, censorship issues will prevent the film from opening in many Asia Pacific markets.
China Lion Film Distribution reports that Back to 1942 grossed $56,604 this weekend in North America, bringing the film's total to $212,475.
The film has been in release for 10 days and is currently playing on 18 screens.

Assessment FAQs
Receiving your assessment notice at the beginning of the year gives you the opportunity to review your property's assessed value, contact us if you have any questions and plan for your next property tax payment.
No. Your property tax bill will be mailed to you at the end of May.
The City starts mailing assessment notices to all property owners the first work day of January.
If you have not received your notice by the end of the second week in January, please call 311 and we will have another notice issued.
If you purchased a property between November 15 and December 31, you should receive your assessment notice by January 17. If not, fill out and submit the Request for Assessment Notice Reprint or Password form.
Yes. Please fill out the Change of Mailing Address form.
Your assessment notice offers a property tax estimate. This estimate is provided for information purposes only with the intention to help you budget for your next property tax bill.
The estimate is calculated by using last year's provincial education and municipal budgets and current assessed value of your property. Due to process limitations, when you receive your assessment notice in January, this estimate does not include any budget decisions made by City Council in December nor any local improvement fees you may be required to pay.
Your actual property tax is known only when the final City budget is approved in April and the provincial education tax is known. This amount is stated on your property tax notice, which arrives in May.
If you wish to plan for your property tax payment, we encourage you to use our online tax estimator and consider enrolling in our Property Tax Monthly Payment Plan.
Senior citizens may be eligible to defer all or part of their property taxes through the Senior Property Tax Deferral Program. For information on the Senior Property Tax Deferral Program, call the Government of Alberta at 780-644-9992.
To ensure all Edmonton property owners pay their fair share of municipal and provincial education property taxes, the City uses a property assessment process as established by the provincial government.
Your current assessment notice indicates your property's market value—the amount it would have sold for in the open market—on July 1 of the previous year. All properties are assessed using similar factors that real estate agents and appraisers use when pricing a home for sale. This market value is then used to calculate the amount of taxes you pay in proportion to the value of the real estate you own.
The relationship between property assessment and property values is explained in this educational video:Assessment and Property Taxes.
Overall, change in property assessments affects property taxes in the following manner:
Average assessment value change = average municipal tax increase
If the property's value changed at the average rate (2.5% for a single-family, detached home), the homeowner will see the average municipal tax increase (4.92%, as set by Council in December 2013).
Higher than average assessment value change = higher than average municipal tax increase
If the property's value changed at the higher than average rate (for example, because of renovations or expansion), the homeowner will see higher than the average municipal tax increase.
Lower than average assessment value change = lower than average municipal tax increase
If the property's value decreased (for example, because of demolitions or fire), the homeowner will see either a decrease in taxes or an increase but by less than the budget-required increase.
Property assessment is a mechanism that helps the City determine the market value of your property. This market value is then used to calculate the amount of taxes you pay in proportion to the value of the real estate you own.
The City does not get extra revenue when overall property assessments increase nor does the City receive less revenue when overall property assessments decrease.
We encourage you to watch this Assessment and Property Taxes video to learn more about how property assessment correlates to property taxes.
The Government of Alberta legislates that the City must assess all property within Edmonton every year using a mass appraisal approach. The assessed value of your property as indicated in your latest assessment notice is your property's market value—the amount it would have sold for based on mass appraisal in the open market—on July 1 of the previous year.
To establish an assessed value of your property, the City uses information on real estate sales that occurred up to and including last July 1 and information on any physical changes recorded up to last December 31.
Real estate market may, and often does, change between the time the City determines assessment values and the time you purchase your property.
Depending on the time of the year you purchased your property, the sale price could be either higher or lower than the assessment. Typically, the assessed value is within 10% of the purchase price.
Please contact us to correct this issue.
If you've come across an error in your assessment notice, contact us first.
Most assessment-related concerns can be resolved by speaking with a 311 agent or assessor—with no formal complaint fees required.
To help us address your concerns more effectively, have your latest assessment notice in front of you with the "account" number and "valuation group" information ready.
It is important that you contact us as quickly as possible so that we can make any necessary corrections.
Measurements used for assessment purposes reflect exterior measurements and may differ from what your builder has stated.
If you believe that incorrect measurements have been used to calculate your assessment, please contact us.
According to provincial legislation, the City of Edmonton determines market values of all properties within Edmonton as of July 1 by taking into account attributes that affect market value at that time and the condition of the property as of December 31.
If the Assessment Review Board reduction was not reflective of the condition of the property as of December 31, then it will not be reflected in the new assessment. For example, if the Assessment Review Board reduced the property assessment because the basement foundation had collapsed, the same reduction would not apply if the foundation was repaired by December 31.
Also, each year is treated as a new year: if the Assessment Review Board reduces a property one year, it does not necessarily mean that the same reduction would apply the next as market conditions change.
Please contact us and we will arrange for an assessor to re-inspect your property.

I loved Arrowhead Pride's post today on offensive lines busts in the top five. Great stuff. Looks like only about 25 percent of those guys turn out to be lemons. According to my research, top-five receivers in that same span only have a 33 percent bust rate. In the past five years they have a 20 percent bust rate, the exact same as OT if you pencil both Braylon Edwards and D'Brickashaw Ferguson in as non-busts, which I would. Just wanted to make that point first.
More importantly, I'm worried about us picking an OT that high for four other reasons:
1. Which one do we take? Two months ago it was Michael Oher. Two weeks ago it was Andre Smith. Last week it was Eugene Monroe. Now, it's Jason Smith. Or is it back to Monroe?What will it be after the combine?
2. Building on that last point, can't we get nearly the same player at No. 34, and not have to feel bad about playing him at RT? Look at Joe Thomas and Tony Ugoh in 2007, Jake Long and Sam Baker in 2008. Typically, there is a lot of depth at OT, and this year is no different.
3. Do we really want to move Branden Albert to LG or RT after he played so well as a rookie at the coveted LT position? Or pay a top-five pick to play — GULP! — RT?
4. There are guys like Jordan Gross and Mark Tauscher out there in free agency.
That's how I see it. Unless Brian Orakpo or Mark Sanchez blows away the combine, I'm pretty set on the Chiefs taking Michael Crabtree. Whether they will do it or not doesn't matter to me. Last year I knew we wouldn't trade up to get Matt Ryan, but I wanted to go out on a limb and say that was what I would've done. This is no different.
Addicts, considering these points, why should we burn the No. 3 pick on an OT?

Thomas Hertel – 2013 Purdue University Research and Scholarship Distinction Award
Global Change and the Challenges of Sustainably Feeding a Growing Planet
Thomas W. Hertel, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics
Over the past decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in global agriculture, and feeding the world's population while simultaneously improving environmental quality. Looking forward, analysis suggests that population and income will remain the two most important drivers of change in the global food system. However, their relative importance will be altered, with the income eclipsing the population for the first time in the world's history. When coupled with potential increases in biofuel production, this suggests the need to double crop production by mid-century. So a critical challenge is whether this can be accomplished through sustainable intensification. Repeating the yield growth experience of the past fifty years will require significant investments in agricultural research. However, these challenges notwithstanding, and contrary to popular consensus, the lecture will present evidence suggesting that the most likely long run outcome will be a resumption of the downward trend in real crop prices that has characterized the past century.
Over the past decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in the world's food system and its contributions to feeding the world's population, while at the same time ensuring environmental sustainability. This lecture presents new evidence on the long run forces shaping this 'grand challenge', as well as projections for the century ahead.
A now familiar refrain is that the world must feed an additional two billion people by 2050. While daunting, the rate of growth in the world's population is slowing. Meanwhile, per capita incomes are growing strongly in many parts of the developing world, leading to significant nutritional improvements for the 2.1 billion people living on less than $2/day. The ensuing demands for richer, more ample diets will increase pressure on global croplands. Our prospective analysis suggests that, while population and income will remain the two most important drivers of change in the global food system, their relative importance will be altered, with the income eclipsing population for the first time in the world's history.
Biofuel production has recently presented a rapidly growing source of demand for agricultural output. This has brought with it a new source of uncertainty for agriculture – namely energy prices and associated policies. Under a high fossil fuel price scenario in which second generation biofuels are aggressively deployed to combat climate change, we find that their expansion could account for nearly half of the increase in global land use over the next few decades. On the other hand, if today's flat oil and gas price trajectories persist, this will erode commercial and policy interest in biofuels, while also lowering the cost of intensification, both of which will contribute to lessening pressure on global croplands – potentially lowering the demand for global cropland by 400 million hectares by 2100.
Even in the absence of biofuel expansion, the world will likely need to double crop production by mid-century. This can occur either through intensification (increased yields) or area expansion. Remarkably, nearly all of the growth in output over the last half of the 20th century occurred through intensification. However, there are signs of slowing yield growth for key staple crops – a phenomenon which may be reinforced in future by rising temperatures in the wake of climate change. To compound matters, water, a key input into irrigated agricultural production, is becoming increasingly scarce in many key regions. This suggests heightened pressures to expand cropland. Unfortunately, conversion of new croplands flies in the face of climate policies aimed at preserving forest and soil carbon stocks, as well as attempts to preserve biodiversity.
All of this points to the critical role for sustainable intensification of agricultural production over the next four decades, which is a critical window for global agriculture. Given the long lag time between investments in agricultural research and improved yields, what the world does in the next decade will likely determine how successful we are in sustainably feeding the planet in 2050.
In light of the analysis presented in this lecture, and noting the great uncertainty in the long run drivers of global agriculture, the lecture concludes that, contrary to apparent popular consensus of a 'new normal' in world agricultural markets, the most likely long run outcome will be a resumption of the downward trend in real crop prices that has characterized the past century.
Thomas Hertel is Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, where his research focuses on the impacts of global trade and environmental policies. Hertel is a Fellow, and Past-President, of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). He is also Founder of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) which now encompassing 10,000 researchers in 150 countries. GTAP maintains global economic data base and quantitative frameworks for analysis of global trade and environmental issues.
Hertel's most recent research has focused on the impacts of climate change and mitigation policies on global land use and poverty. Previously, he has conducted extensive research on the impacts of multilateral trade agreements, including the linkages between global trade policies and poverty in developing countries which won the AAEA award for Quality of Communication. Other AAEA awards include: Distinguished Policy Contribution and Outstanding Journal Article. Hertel has also chaired three dozen PhD committees during his tenure at Purdue.
