The recently announced June Xbox Development Kit (XDK) gives developers lots of new tools, including more access to additional GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) bandwidth.
Before, 10 percent of the GPU "was reserved for system level processing which included Kinect-related skeletal tracking data," says Kareem Choudhry, Xbox software engineering director of development, in a Q-and-A with Xbox Wire. "With this change, titles that are not using skeletal tracking with Kinect can choose to use that portion of the system reserve for other purposes. We have also optimized the entire system so that titles have access to 100 percent of the Xbox One GPU for increased resolution and graphical effects."

The International Olympic Committee has cut wresting from the 2020 Summer Games — but it's still not known which sport will take its place.
IOC members are set to discuss a replacement at their May meeting, according to a report in Newser.
But why wrestling? The Associated Press reports that wrestling is one of the Olympics' oldest sports — and projections were that the pentathlon would be the booted event.
Newser says IOC members looked at television ratings, ticket sales and doping rules before making their decision. Politics and public relations could have played a role, too; Newser reports that pentathlon officials pushed hard to keep their slot.
The 2020 games include 26 events, Newser reports.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
05 Mar 2012 10:20 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States
Timothy Zick is Cabell Research Professor of Law at William & Mary Law School, Williamsburg, VA. He is the author of Speech out of Doors: Preserving First Amendment Liberties in Public Places.
Williamsburg, VA - When Americans in various cities took to the streets in significant numbers and stayed there indefinitely, many drew comparisons between the earlier Arab Spring demonstrations and the Occupy Wall Street protests.
There are some rather obvious differences between these events. One comes immediately to mind: the Arab protesters were hoping to achieve democracy, while the American occupations took place in a country that is already democratic.
So what, if anything, can the recent Occupy Wall Street protests tell us about democratic protest in general, and in the United States in particular?
Democratic protests
One of the lessons from the occupation is that democratic protests come in many different forms, shapes and sizes. The Arab protests were about regime change. Although they were more modest in
One of the lessons from the occupation is that democratic protests come in many different forms, shapes and sizes. The Arab protests were about regime change. Although they were more modest in scope, the Occupy Wall Street events were also classic democratic protests. Under the First Amendment, Americans have the right to speak, assemble and petition government officials for the redress of grievances.
Inside Story: US 2012 - Attacking the unions
Public places such as parks and streets - "traditional public forums", as they are referred to under First Amendment doctrine - are made available to members of the public so that they may gather with others to communicate on matters of public concern. The occupiers were attempting to use, indeed to commandeer, these public forums in order to complain about the form or condition of democracy in the US.
In this sense, the occupiers stood with public protesters of the past, including abolitionists, suffragists and civil rights protesters. Although their message has not been conveyed in the most explicit terms, the occupiers' general complaint seems to be something like the following: American democracy has failed the people by facilitating a wildly unequal distribution of wealth, diminishing opportunities for future advancement and prosperity by all citizens, and allowing corporate interests to hijack democratic institutions and processes.
By their lights, our democratic system has not functioned, as the US Constitution's preamble promises, to "form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility [,]... promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity". Indeed, according to Occupy Wall Street participants, in its current form, American democracy disregards the welfare of 99 per cent of its rightful beneficiaries.
In sum, the Occupy Wall Street protests were not about achieving democracy, but rather perfecting or redeeming it. Like other notable democratic protests, the occupation originated within an established democratic system.
Second, the occupations showed that democratic protest is difficult and can even be dangerous. That is undeniably the case in countries where autocratic regimes use lethal and others kinds of force against their own citizens. It is true even in the US, with its long history of public speech and dissent.
Live Box 201110415333680466
During the Occupy Wall Street protests, some police officers used excessive force, including pepper spray and physical force, against protesters who appeared to be engaged in peaceful and lawful activities. Many protesters, and even some journalists, were wrongfully arrested.
Protesters face a host of other significant challenges. The restrictions placed on parades, marches and other forms of public display in the US are numerous and, in many municipalities, quite burdensome. These limits range from the legal privatisation of public places, where protesters might lawfully assemble, to the bureaucratic maze of regulations that typically limit the time, place, manner and other conditions under which protesters may gather and speak, to contemporary methods of protest policing that cabin, pen and zone public protest.
As a result of these and other limitations, which are often held by American courts to comply with First Amendment requirements, protesters are often marginalised, displaced and arrested for failing to comply with regulations and police orders. In the US, this problem has become more acute since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Challenge for OWS
In places like New York City, officials have sometimes treated lawful forms of public protest as presumptive security threats. In light of these various burdens, the Occupy protesters were remarkably successful. Using a combination of traditional and technological organisation tactics, they were able to mount a substantial, spontaneous and sustained presence in various public places across the US.
Empire - Extra: It's the 'stupid' economy
The most notable and effective public protests are acts of civil disobedience - which is precisely what makes them difficult and potentially dangerous. The occupiers demonstrated just how uncomfortable, burdensome and risky public protest is, even in a nation that generally respects the rule of law and freedom of speech.
Democratic protest does get easier over time, as it becomes part of the democratic system of government. However, by its nature protest is never as easy as casting a ballot, signing a petition or writing a letter to a legislator. Whatever one might think of their message or tactics, there is no doubting the conviction of occupiers who essentially lived outdoors for several months.
In the end, however, courts and officials across the nation enforced regulations that banned overnight camping in public places. No public protest can last indefinitely. Public opinion and public officialdom will not allow that.
This brings me to my third and final point: as the Occupy demonstrations also showed, democratic protests, while necessary, are obviously not sufficient substitutes for other forms of political activism. Participants in the Occupy Wall Street protests chose the streets over traditional democratic institutions precisely because those institutions were some of the central targets of protest.
They believed that these institutions had utterly failed them. That point has been successfully made. The plight of the "99 per cent" has become a story of national import and has caught the attention of some in national politics. However, history teaches that if they are ultimately to be successful, democratic protests cannot remain completely out of doors in terms of locus or orientation.
To be sure, some element of the Occupy Wall Street movement may continue to engage in public protests in order to raise public awareness and to remind fellow citizens and officials of their central claims. Democratic protests help the people to continually keep their rulers in check, to hold officials accountable and to remind governors that sovereign power lies not in the institutions of government or public officialdom, but with the governed.
Live Box 201111485425466767
So citizens should return from time to time to public streets and parks, engage in mass protests and demonstrations, and maintain a physical presence in public places. In this sense, democratic protest helps to ensure that the people continue to govern themselves. However, democratic institutions generally cannot be reformed solely from the outside.
At some point, if a democratic protest is to become an effective democratic movement, its members will need to engage in indoor politics. They will need to occupy legislatures, agencies and boards. This will be a unique challenge for the Occupy Wall Street participants, who generally eschew formal hierarchies and engage in non-traditional forms of communication and political decision-making.
The challenge for Occupy Wall Street, as for any democratic protest, is to remain true to its core principles while seeking systemic changes from within. The American occupation teaches us that in any democracy, public protest is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for systemic change.

(Oct. 8, 2013) -- The UTSA East Asia Institute (EAI) will host the inaugural "Discovering Taiwan Through Films" series. The screenings are free and open to the public. Each week a film will be showcased in Main Building Room 0.106 on the UTSA Main Campus. The series was made possible by a grant from the Taiwan Academy.
For more information, visit the UTSA East Asia Institute website, call 210-458-4943 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The films are:
After each film, there will be a panel discussion including societal, historical and cultural perspectives of Taiwan.
"Cape No. 7" -- An unusual group of people in a village on the coast of Taiwan form a band to perform at a beach concert, while the lead singer searches for the intended recipient of seven lost love letters written in Japanese during World War II. The film explores Taiwan's generational differences, history, cultural diversity and small-town life. The film is in Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese with significant lines in Japanese.
"Go Grandriders" -- Would you still dare to dream when you're 80 years old? The challenges officially begin as a group of seniors decides to take a trip by motorcycle. Their family members object, but the group proceeds with their nearly 1,200-kilometer journey despite the threat of bad weather and poor road conditions. The film parallels the history of Taiwan after World War II and the Taiwanese people's work ethic.
"Love" -- Eight people try to end their loneliness by searching for that one person to love who can make their life complete. This film illustrates the culture gap between Taiwan and Mainland China.
The Taiwan Academy originated from the cultural policy of Republic of China President Ma Ying-Jeou. Taiwan is the major Chinese cultural center where Confucianism, Buddhism, Zen, literature, architecture, arts and crafts, and traditional customs are promoted and preserved more completely as compared to the many regions influenced by Chinese culture.
A number of the Taiwan Academy Resource Centers have been established to disseminate information and organize seminars, workshops and other activities that promote philosophy, literature and arts. By doing so, the Taiwan Academy hopes to enhance cultural exchanges between Taiwan and the international community.
The mission of the UTSA East Asia Institute is to promote appreciation and understanding of East Asian societies and cultures both on campus and in the community through research, outreach, networking, education, student/faculty exchange, and business development and cooperation. The institute organizes seminars, workshops, lectures, conferences, film festivals and visual art exhibitions as well as hosting performing arts groups from China, Japan, Korea and other Asian nations. It also encourages faculty research collaborations both within UTSA and with participating East Asian university researchers.

United States Patent 3,408,233 STORAGE BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE THEREFOR Konrad Parker, Park Ridge, and Jerry L. Brosilow, Chicago, 111., assignors to International Battery, Inc., Schiller Park, 111., a corporation of Illinois No Drawing. Filed Oct. 24, 1966, Ser. No. 588,773
6 Claims. (Cl. 136153) This invention is directed to improvements in storage batteries. In particular, the invention is concerned with batteries of the type using sulfuric acid as the liquid electrolyte. Such batteries, referred to as lead-acid batteries, are used to start cars, trucks, etc., and are used to supply other electrical power in such constructions.
It has always been considered desirable to provide batteries which can be initially manufactured to completion, but which can be shipped, stored and otherwise held for indefinite periods before use without damaging the batteries. This has been accomplished to a certain extent; however, various problems are known to exist.
It is a general object of this invention to provide a storage battery which overcomes disadvantages which characterize presently produced batteries.
It is a more specific object of this invention to provide a dry acid electrolyte, which can be stored and shipped inside the cells of a dry-charged storage battery without danger of spillage or plate discharge.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a battery which is adapted to be activated by the simple addition of the water necessary to furnish the required electrolyte.
These and other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter and it will be understood that the specific example set forth are intended for purposes of illustration and not by way of limitation.
So-called dry charged batteries have previously been produced. These batteries consist of alternating negatively charged lead and positively charged lead oxide plates spaced by separators and assembled into elements for each cell or compartment of the battery. The negative lead plates must be completely dry to maintain the charge. Some dry charged batteries are tightly sealed, preferably under vacuum, to prevent moisture absorption and potential lead oxidation. This has necessitated expensive vacuum sealing of dry charged batteries, and other methods, chemical and physical, of limiting the oxidation of the negative plates have also been proven to be inconvenient.
Before installation in a vehicle, the dry charged battery must be filled with so-called battery acid or electrolyte consisting of sulfuric acid of desired specific gravity, generally 1.26. The handling of sulfuric acid by untrained workers in service stations and garages is quite dangerous, since the acid is very corrosive and causes severe burns on contact with the skin and damage to clothing.
These previously produced dry charged batteries require a booster charge after the electrolyte is added to insure that the battery is brought to full electrical capacity. This increases the time and cost of dry charged battery installation, and limits the installation to trained personnel and expensive equipment.
So-called wet charged batteries have also been produced on a large scale. These batteries are filled with electrolyte during manufacture and are more expensive to ship because of the considerable weight of the battery acid. In addition, these batteries require special packing and handling during transfer from the plant to the dealer or station to avoid damage to materials or harm to persons from the acid due to spillage or leakage.
The improvements in storage batteries contemplated Patented Oct. 29, 1968 by this invention may be directed to a variety of battery constructions of standard manufacture. The invention provides for loading of the cells of these batteries with a material comprising a combination of absorbent silica and concentrated sulfuric acid. The combination is provided in a dry form whereby it can be readily handled for loading of the battery cells. The instant invention is concerned with batteries characterized by the dry, acid hearing material as well as the material as such.
Batteries manufactured in accordance with the teachings of this invention provide considerable savings in shipping, packing and handling. The merchandising and installation of batteries is also simplified so that they can be sold in retail stores and installed easily by the automobile owner in his car. He has only to add the proper amount of water to activate the battery for immediate use.
The dry electrolyte of the present invention is based on an inert carrier, which absorbs several times its own weight of concentrated sulfuric acid. The carrier employed is a highly absorbent, small particle size silica. Thus, by mixing one part of silica with three to six parts by weight of concentrated sulfuric acid, a dry, free flowing powder is formed. This dry electrolyte can be poured into a lead storage battery during or after manufacture. The dry acid can also be added to a dry charged battery through the vent openings in the top of the battery.
The amount of dry electrolyte added to the battery will, of course, depend on the size and number of cells, as well as on the final acid concentration desired. There is adequate void space to accommodate the dry electrolyte in battery cases. Sufiicient acid carrying powder is added to each cell to provide the needed amount of concentrated sulfuric acid for proper operation of the battery. With addition of the required amount of water to each cell, the absorbed acid is released from the silica surface. As the concentrated sulfuric acid mixes with the water, suflicient heat of solution is generated to activate the battery even in very cold weather. A volume of water approximately four times greater than the volume of concentrated acid is usually added to a standard battery to provide an electrolyte of proper gravity, usually between 1.2 and 1.3 at F.
The arrangement of this invention distinguishes in certain critical respects from prior systems wherein gels were formed by adding sulfuric acid to salts such as aluminum sulfate. None of these prior systems have proven satisfactory, their main drawback being a gradual discharge due to their conductive nature, which allows a small amount of current to flow between the plates. They also introduce undesirable metallic contaminants into the electrolyte, which reduces battery life and efficiency. Furthermore, previously suggested carriers were not completely inert, and over long storage periods reacted with the sulfuric acid to produce undesirable by-products such as sulfate salts which interfere with battery performance.
The acid absorbent of the present invention is pure silica which is completely chemically inert, insoluble and unreactive when employed in the system of this invention. Even after long contact with concentrated sulfuric acid, it remains unchanged and in its original pure state without salt formation or metal contamination.
The silica employed must be chosen so as to provide a surface area sufiiciently large to absorb three to six times its weight of sulfuric acid. It should also be as pure as possible, for example, its composition should be 98 percent plus SiO on a dry basis, in order to virtually eliminate undesirable contamination.
Many types of natural and synthetic silicas are commercially available; however, two synthetic types meet all the necessary requirements and are considered particularly suitable. One type is a silica aerogel, the other is amicro fine precipitated silica. Both of these have very large surface areas of over 200 square meters per gram. The aerogel is quite porous with over 90 percent air space while the precipitated silica consists of agglomerates of millimicron sized particles of large absorptive capacity. Both are quite pure as manufactured and contain less than one percent metallic impurities. They are capable of converting up to six times their weight of sulfuric acid into a dry, free flowing powder. Also, they mix quite readily with the acid with a minimum of agitation. On addition of water, the acid is released at once and the inert silica particles form a gelatinous precipitate, which is completely nondetrimental to battery performance.
In the practice of the invention, it is preferred to add the sulfuric acid slowly to the silica, while gently mixing in a suitable blender. After all the acid has been added, mixing is continued for a short time to assure uniform dispersion.
The use of silica in the manner described provides additional advantages from the standpoint of proper battery operation. Thus, the silica is hygroscopic and preferentially absorbs moisture from the air, thereby protecting the lead plates from oxidation. Accordingly, the arrangement of this invention actually operates to provide improved conditions for battery operation in contrast to prior techniques wherein the materials employed were detrimental in certain respects.
Silica aerogels of a suitable type are manufactured under the trademark Santocel by the Monsanto Chemical Company and as Syloids by the W. R. Grace Co. A micro fine precipitated silica is produced by the Philadelphia Quartz Company under the name Quso. High oil absorption characteristics are sought in selecting particular grades of silica. The final selection also depends on the ability to retain free flowing characteristics after absorption of a satisfactory amount of electrolyte. It will be understood that other types of pure absorbent silica of small particle size and large surface area can be used as the inert absorbent provided they exhibit the general characteristics of the type specifically mentioned.
In a specific example of the present invention, one pound of silica aerogel was mixed with four pounds of concentrated sulfuric acid of 1.84 specific gravity in a Patterson-Kelley blender. One pound of the dry, free flowing acid powder product was loaded into each one of the cells of a six-cell dry charged 12-volt battery of approximately 1.25-gallon electrolyte capacity. The battery was stored for several months under ambient conditions before it was activated by the slow addition of 0.125 gallon of demineralized water to each cell. Sufficient heat was generated to raise the temperature of the battery to 100 F. The battery was tested with a voltage meter, which showed the specified charge of two volts for each cell. The acid concentration was then determined with a hydrometer. Each cell had a specific gravity of 1.25 after temperature correction. The battery was subjected to a load test and delivered full power after 60 seconds application. The battery was then installed in a car approximately 12 months ago and is still performing satisfactorily as of the date of this application with normal usage including zero temperature.
The experiment above was repeated using a micro fine precipitated silica with essentially the same results.
In use, it is immaterial where the dry electrolyte is placed in the battery cells; however, the top of the plates is the preferred location to give the quickest and most uniform acid release on addition of water, but it is not intended to restrict it to that location. The silica will gradually sink to the sediment space in the bottom of the battery, where it remains innocuous, and does not interfere with battery performance.
The dry electrolyte powder can also be pressed or formed into tablets, rods or other shapes. The proper number of forms can then be placed into each cell of a dry charged battery to provide the required Weight of acid. This method of loading eliminates the need for weighing the electrolyte into each cell. It thus simplifies and speeds up battery manufacture.
It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made with respect to the above described system which provides the characteristics of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof particularly as defined in the following claims.
That which is claimed is:

"THE HAPPY MANATEE" acrylic print by KAREN WILES. Ships within 3 - 4 business days and arrives ready-to-hang with all mounting hardware included. Choose from multiple sizes and two different mounting options (metal posts / hanging wire).
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
"THE HAPPY MANATEE" by KAREN WILES *****AWARD WINNER***** "The Happy Manatee" was awarded FIRST PLACE in the Silver Arts Competition held in Wilmington, North Carolina. She will now proceed to the State of North Carolina's Fall Competition. I wanted to capture the happiness and human like emotion I found in the face of this little manatee who happened to swim by our boat while in the Florida Keys. The happy little gal swam by our deck one morning and I was lucky enough to capture the friendliness of her sweet childlike face as she popped up for a quick hello. The "Happy Manatee" had lots of personality... You can see her eagerness and playful manor in every inch of her little smiling face. She seemed to enjoy looking at me as...
In the ever changing fast paced technological world we live in, Karen Wiles' images are like a wind blown breath of fresh air. An enchantment where one wants to visit and then remain...she has a special sense of place and vision that is present in her vividly bold works of art that demonstrate a love and appreciation of life. She has quickly become known as "The Photographer With An Artist's Eye," for it is apparent she captures in photography what some may overlook. Wiles' vast background in art enhances the vision needed to place her art within a unique aura of exceptional beauty.

Over centuries, modern firearms gradually replaced archaic weapons, such as the rapier and the sternly worded pamphlet. Take aim with this Groupon.
$75 for a Concealed-Carry Course with Range Time (Up to $150 Value)
Designed to meet the training required by Florida State Statute 790.06, the course guides students as they master fundamentals and learn how to use their weapon safely and effectively. Instructors place emphasis on personal safety during the three-hour classroom session. Students schedule a 45-minute live-fire session, in which they shoot off 50 practice rounds with private instruction and all equipment except ammunition and monogrammed holsters provided.
Alpha Omega Combat
Alpha Omega Combat's instructors come from significantly different backgrounds but share a main focus: a dedication to self-defense. Calling upon their studies in hapkido, tactical firearm use, and krav maga, they have learned to stay safe in dynamic situations, a trait they reveal in a six-day schedule of five classes. Elite krav-maga training serves as the cornerstone of their program, showcasing the Israeli Defense Force's dynamic fighting technique that draws from many different martial arts. They also run a women's self-defense course to prepares ladies for split-second decision making if threatened, and split firearm-combat courses between the classroom and the range.

News from Upstate
Darryl Geddes 315 464-4828
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme: It's what's growing at Upstate Medical's Community Garden
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— The Upstate Community Garden outside the west entrance of Upstate Medical University's Campus Activities Building is once again showing signs of life.
Now in its third year, the Community Garden is tended by Upstate students, some of whom live next door in the Clark Tower residence hall. Fourth-year medical student Giancarlo Rondash, a former chef, has led the student involvement in the project from the beginning.
Students who help with the Community Garden are part of a collaborative effort led by Thomas Pelis, assistant vice president for facilities and planning. Pelis is chair of Upstate's Sustainability Task Force, and a veteran gardener.
In exchange for their sweat equity during the growing season, students and some employees reap the benefits at harvest time. Any student interested in helping out should e-mail Giancarlo at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The 30-foot by 40-foot garden has raised beds surrounded by a fence. Its offerings include potatoes, beans, lettuce, beets, radishes, tomatoes, peas, peppers and kale.
Rondash said the garden offers a way for Upstate students to relax and better handle the stress of school as well as have a convenient supply of nutritious food. "For me this is relaxing, and it's nice to come here and get your hands dirty," he said.
Last year, an herb bed was added to the northeast corner of the garden. It's easy to remember the herbs planted there this year — just add tarragon to the lyrics of a classic song by Simon & Garfunkel, and there you have it.

After spending eight years as a pro-wrestling superstar, gracing the cover of countless magazines, appearing on numerous shows such as MTV Cribs and Project Runway, appearing in music videos and traveling the globe on a weekly basis to perform for the masses, Torrie had to have back surgery and decided to retire from wrestling in 2008. In 2009 she appeared in the NBC hit summer reality show "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!" and once again showed the world how incredible she is by placing second behind Lou Diamond Phillips of "La Bamba" fame while living in the Costa Rican rainforest for nearly 30 days. An entrepreneur, Torrie stepped away from the limelight for a few years, but to many of her fans' delight she has reemerged looking better than ever!
Torrie is in the best shape of her life and is now inspiring people everywhere. As a fitness expert she has a burning desire to help others. Motivating others surely seems to be something Torrie is good at. Whether it's with her sexy swagger or knack for knowing just what we need to hear… we know that without a doubt Torrie is back!!!

Great investment opportunity - For Sale By Owner! Two structures on one tax lot! Located on easy care lot only a couple blocks to the beach, and walking distance to the charming town of Rockaway Beach!
The main house is 1,412 sq.ft and consists of two stories. Floor level hosts the Master Bedroom, Bathroom w/ shower & tub, Living room with large windows, high efficiency pellet stove, and knotty pine paneling throughout. Kitchen includes stove and dishwasher, and the recreation room is furnished with washer & dryer. The second story has one bedroom with closet and one smaller sleeping nook with built-in twin beds, storage cabinet but no closet. You can see the ocean from one part of the living area/TV room on this story.
The second structure on same lot is a smaller at 424 sq.ft 1-bed 1-bath cottage to the west which has been mostly gutted in preparation for remodel. Due to the status of this remodel, this cottage is currently not livable and would need to be finished in order to be considered a house, instead it is included as "storage" or "garage".
Seller is motivated, this property is being sold AS-IS, making this the perfect turnkey opportunity for the right person to fix up and use as residence, vacation rental, or any combination of both!

New WHO World Report on Ageing and Health: creating a new vision for healthy ageing
1 October 2015 – On the International Day of Older Persons, WHO released the first World Report on Ageing and Health. For the first time in history, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Yet there is little evidence to suggest that older people today are experiencing better health than previous generations at the same age. A transformation in health and long-term care systems will be required.
Innovation is at the heart of further transforming our systems and societies to respond. Universal health coverage (UHC) provides an excellent opportunity to develop health and social delivery systems to support older persons as relevant to their socio-economic and environmental contexts. The global WHO Kobe Centre's new ten year research strategy on UHC and innovation for ageing populations is documenting social, system and technological innovations that are fit for purpose and respond to the needs of older persons and to design coordinated and integrated health and social care systems.
Many innovations and models will be highlighted at the WHO Global Forum on Innovation for Ageing Populations, in Kobe on 7-9 October.
For more information
New WHO World Report on Ageing and Health: creating a new vision for healthy ageing
Second WHO Global Forum on Innovation for Ageing Populations
7-9 October 2015, Kobe, Japan
Organized by the World Health Organization Centre for Health Development (WHO Kobe Centre), the Global Forum serves as a global platform to highlight and accelerate social and technological innovations for ageing populations worldwide. Participants will connect with a diverse network of innovators in policy, research, social sector, and business who share an interest in the health and welfare of older people. The languages of the Forum are English and Japanese with simultaneous interpretation.
Leaders from government, business, nonprofit, and academia will be featured in keynote and panel sessions.
This year's theme, "IMAGINE TOMORROW", will explore visions of transformation in communities, systems, and technologies for ageing populations worldwide.
The WHO Global Forum is a closed meeting with participants coming in by invitation only.
New WKC Publication:
"Assistive technologies for ageing populations in six low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review"
September 2015 - A new publication prepared by the WHO Kobe Centre, "Assistive technologies (AT) for ageing populations in six low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review", was published by the British Medical Journal Innovations (BMJ) on 11 September 2015. WKC conducted a systematic literature review of the current availability of AT, and existing legislation for provision of AT, for older adults in six low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), which are among countries with the highest estimated 65 and over population in the coming decades: Brazil, Cambodia, Egypt, India, Turkey and Zimbabwe.
The results indicated some degree of available AT designed for older adults with an impairment or disability, but limited AT to prevent such impairment or disability. The review identified a set of recommendations in moving forward. There is a need for a comprehensive, integrated health and social system approach to increase the current availability of AT for ageing populations in LMICs.
This research is part of WKC's research agenda on universal health coverage, innovation and ageing populations.
Meeting of Pilot Sites of the Age-friendly City Core Indicator Guide
The WHO Kobe Centre (WKC) conducted a pilot study in 15 sites to test the feasibility of measuring indicators of age-friendly cities and communities in diverse contexts around the world.
The 15 pilot sites in 12 different countries each made their best attempt at gathering data to measure indicators aimed at addressing the accessibility of the physical environment, the inclusiveness of the social environment, the impact on quality of life, and the equity dimensions of each, all within the context of their local community.
Upon completion of the study, representatives of the pilot sites were convened in WHO Geneva Headquarters on 10-11 June, 2015, to discuss the importance of the adaptability of the indicators and other issues that will contribute to the finalization of the indicator guide.
