Saudi Stocks Gain as 2015 Budget Deficit Better Than Estimatesby
Saudi Arabian stocks advanced after the government's budget deficit for 2015 was better than economists expected.
The Tadawul All Share Index rose 0.7 percent at the 3:30 p.m. close in Riyadh to 6,992.19. The deficit was 367 billion riyals ($98 billion) as the kingdom exceeded expenditure by 13 percent, Hindi al-Suhaimi, an official adviser, told reporters at a news conference in Riyadh.
"The 13 percent overshoot is less than what market has expected, especially since the war in Yemen was supposed to cost the Saudis a lot," said Reda Gomaa, a money manager at Mashreq Capital DIFC Ltd. in Dubai. "That's why the market reacted positively to the data."
The announcement comes against a worsening economic backdrop, after the plunge in oil prices curbed revenue, forcing the world's biggest crude exporter to dip into its foreign reserves and tap the bond market. The deficit was expected to be as high as 500 billion riyals, but was narrowed due to "some procedures" the government took to boost the efficiency of state spending, al-Suhaimi said.
The deficit is at about 16 percent of gross domestic product, according to Alp Eke, a senior economist at National Bank of Abu Dhabi. The median estimate of 10 economists forecast a shortfall of 20 percent of GDP this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Saudi Electricity Co. led the gains in Saudi stocks, climbing 9.9 percent, the most since June 2006. Al Rajhi Bank was the second-biggest contributor the Tadawul's advance, rising 1.7 percent.
2016 Plan
The Saudi government set 2016 revenue targets at 513.8 billion riyals, while spending may reach 840 billion riyals, according to a decree read out on state television after market close. Spending in 2015 was 975 billion riyals. The government's budget gap may be financed through the sale of local and international bonds.
"I'm happy they are conservative on revenue and realistic about oil in the medium term," said Faisal bin Farhan, an investor of Saudi stocks and chairman of the Riyadh-based Shamal Investment. "The revenue expectations for 2016 indicate the Saudi government expects oil prices to remain low throughout the coming year."
Brent crude sank 36 percent in the past 12 months to about $37 a barrel.
The kingdom will gradually revise fuel, water and power subsidies as it seeks to curb spending, according to a statement on the finance ministry's website. It may also privatize some government entities over five years.

Historic apartment buildings receive $24M investment, re-open as affordable housing complex
Tuesday, January 31, 2017
In November 2013, Detroit Police called the Colony and Fisher Arms Apartments the most problematic addresses in the city. It was then when a combined force of 150 officers from different law enforcement agencies raided the east side apartment complex, arresting 33 people.
Just over three years later and the historic apartment complex is in the news for completely different reasons. On the morning of Jan. 28, 2017, more than one hundred people, including Mayor Mike Duggan, Detroit Police Department Chief James Craig, and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones, gathered to celebrate the rehabilitation and re-opening of the 161-unit affordable housing apartment complex.
A combination of financing pieced together by
Chesapeake Community Advisors
made the project possible, having secured $24 million dollars in financing. That multi-tiered financing included Federal Historic Tax Credits, Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits, an FHA loan, a renewal of Section 8 rental subsidy, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Affordable Housing Program Funds. The city of Detroit contributed vacant city-owned property for secure parking for the residents.
"It is a completely different place," says Mayor Mike Duggan. "This is the quality we're going to continue to build for the people of the City of Detroit."
To reflect the new and improved apartments, the historic Colony and Fisher Arms Apartments have undergone a name change and have since been re-branded as the River Crest Apartments.
Cinnaire, a non-profit community development group, has contributed $500 million in investment in Detroit over the last 23 years. Cinnaire, Chesapeake Community Advisors, and Building Blocks received Spirit of Detroit awards from City Council President Brenda Jones.
River Crest Apartments is located at 9333 and 9303 E. Jefferson Ave. in Detroit.

Restoration of the Treymore Apartments building results in 28 affordable housing units in Midtown
Tuesday, December 13, 2016
Detroiters feeling the pinch of rising rental rates in the city's greater downtown have reason to turn their attention to Brainard Street. There, in the bustling development hotspot between Wayne State University and Little Caesars Arena is the Treymore, will be an affordable housing redevelopment that offers 28 one- and two-bedroom units to Detroiters earning 50 to 60 percent of the area's average median income.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan cut the ribbon on the redveloped apartment building this past Friday, Dec. 9.
"These are the kinds of projects the City of Detroit is happy to support because they are example of how Detroit comes back, there is room and opportunity for everyone," says Mayor Duggan. The city contributed $3.5 million in HOME program funds.
A number of other organizations contributed to the redevelopment, creating a patchwork of financing. The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) contributed $3 million in affordable housing tax credits. Cinnaire financed and syndicated the MSHDA credits. And the building's developer, Paradise Valley Investment Group (PVI), contributed hundreds of thousands in private equity and brownfield tax credits.
In all, it cost $7 million to renovate the building, which has sat vacant for over two decades. The condition of the building forced developers to completely strip it of infrastructure and start fresh, requiring the installation of new windows, energy efficient HVAC, and lighting. Also new is the roof, landscaping, and greenspace.
The Treymore is a four story, 30,000 sq. ft. building erected in the early 1900s. Two-thirds of the 28 units are already leased.
"Restoring this building has been life changing," says PVI president and CEO, Robin Scovill. "Its condition when we started, juxtaposed with the finished product, is shocking."
The Treymore is located at 457 Brainard St.

November development news round-up: New homes in North Corktown, a new home for basketball, and more
Tuesday, November 29, 2016
Let's catch up on some of the biggest stories from the past five weeks.
While it's Corktown that receives the lion's share of development attention, its neighbor across the freeway, North Corktown, has been
in the news lately
, too. Construction of traditionally-financed single-family homes will begin in Spring 2017 on Ash and Sycamore streets, featuring contemporary designs by Christian Hurttienne Architects. Meanwhile, an affordable housing development that stretches across 54 acres was reported by
the Detroit News
and includes "elite" New York architect Alexander Gorlin and possibly Grammy-winning musician Pharrell Williams. There is, however, no official word on any timeline.
The Detroit Pistons are moving back to their namesake city,
38 years after leaving
the cozy confines of Cobo Arena for the Pontiac Silverdome in 1978. The basketball organization
announced this month
that they will be joining the Detroit Red Wings hockey team in occupying Little Caesars Arena, which is currently under construction just north of downtown. Both teams will open their 2017-18 seasons in the new arena.
Rumored sites
for a Pistons practice facility include a West Grand Boulevard location in New Center. The Pistons are leaving The Palace of Auburn Hills, built by former owner William Davidson in 1988.
In historic preservation news, the CPA Building across from Michigan Central Station has been saved from demolition
at least for now.
It was reported
earlier this month that the building's owners, the New York City-based BFD Corktown LLC, were granted a demolition permit for the building. But as news broke, preservation and neighborhood advocates quickly mobilized, gathering over
1,000 signatures
to petition its destruction. Detroit City Council took note and granted the building,
which opened in 1923
, an interim historic building designation,
delaying demolition
for up to one year and opening it up to further studies.

August development news round-up: Residential, residential, and more residential
Tuesday, August 30, 2016
Let's catch up on some of the biggest stories from the past five weeks.
The Detroit Tigers matchup with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last Saturday, August 27 was as notable for an umpire's ejection of two Tigers players and two Tigers coaches as it was for another event at the game: Olympia Development of Michigan in partnership with the Detroit Tigers
both organizations being owned by the Ilitch family
to promote its District Detroit development. 10,000 fans received District Detroit-branded Tigers caps as they entered the game. They were were also treated to numerous video displays and a red carpet promotion as Olympia touted its more than $1.2 billion hockey arena, residential, and commercial development being built north of Comerica Park.
Capitol Park, a public park in the city's downtown, is experiencing its own impressive wave of development as nearly every building surrounding that park is being renovated and redeveloped into apartments and retail space. One of those buildings,
the Farwell
, has announced a projected fall 2017 opening.
DBusiness is also reporting
the construction of two brand new buildings. The eleven- and eight-story buildings will contain residential, office, and retail space, replacing a vacant low-rise building and a surface parking lot, respectively.
Another new build,
the Russell Flats
, will bring 82 new residential units to Eastern Market. The five-story building will also have ground floor retail space. This is part of a
major 10-year plan
being put into place for the market.
A crowdfunding campaign is being held to raise funds for the historic log cabin in Palmer Park. If successful, the building and its neglected stained glass windows would be restored and the cabin would be utilized as a community space.
Organizers hope to raise $25,000 by October 28
and, in doing so, would receive a $25,000 matching grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and Michigan State Housing Development Authority and their Public Spaces Community Places initiative.

Barbers and landscapers join forces to transform vacant city lots
Monday, July 18, 2016
To work as a barber or a landscaper can mean a variety of things. To some, it can mean nothing more than a job, punch in and trim some hair, cut some lawns, and go home. To others, it's more than a job but a craft, dutifully studied and skillfully executed. They're the ones who can elevate these seemingly menial tasks into art.
A flourish to a hair cut or a landscaping job is not that different from one another. It's this idea that has launched The Buzz, an innovative approach to address the city of Detroit's vacant land management issues. The Buzz organizers have partnered local barbers and landscapers to creatively maintain overgrown vacant lots throughout the city.
The Detroit Future City (DFC) Implementation Office is responsible for the program,
winning a Knight Cities Challenge
grant for its efforts. The DFC Implementation Office has partnered with Urban Neighborhood Initiatives, the East Side Community Network, and the City of Detroit's General Services Department on the project.
"This creative idea of bringing barbers and landscapers together to discuss how popular hair style trends can be used with mowing patterns is another way to beautify some of the city's lots," says Hector Santiago, The Greening of Detroit's workforce development program manager. "The implementation of the designs will provide an interesting and appealing landscape in the neighborhoods."
Over 25 barbers and landscapers met this June to brainstorm and trade ideas for the program, meeting on the east side in Jefferson-Chalmers and the southwest side in Springwells Village. A "mow and show" took place on Monday, July 18 in Springwells Village to showcase what is possible with the program.
This is not the first vacant lot-related program for Detroit Future City.
In October 2015
, the office released a field guide for Detroiters looking to make use of the vacant lots in their neighborhoods, including transforming unused lots into rain gardens, native butterfly meadows, and more.

Belle Isle beautification efforts focus on fundraising events for fountain, community programming
Monday, July 18, 2016
The popular fundraising event
Detroit SOUP
is coming to Belle Isle. The micro grant-awarding program, typically reserved for the city's neighborhoods, is making a one-time appearance on the island park. While the dinner doesn't take place until August 31, organizers are currently seeking grant proposals, which are due August 14.
A typical SOUP event will include a five dollar fee for a dinner that's open to the public. The five dollars pays for soup, salad, bread, and a vote in the micro-grant contest. Four proposals are heard and the dinner crowd votes on which proposal they feel best benefits the community where the dinner is being held. The winner of that vote receives the money collected at the beginning of the night. Many types of proposals are heard, from business plans to community events.
Organizers say that the Belle Isle SOUP will operate in the same fashion
the one caveat being that the proposal must take place on Belle Isle. In addition to the money raised, the Belle Isle Conservancy will offer staff support to help make the winning proposal happen.
Applicants can
submit SOUP proposals
online or at a physical drop-off location that includes the offices of the Belle Isle Conservancy, Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation, Live6 Detroit, Osborn Neighborhood Alliance, Eastside Community Network, SER Metro Detroit, and the Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation.
In other Belle Isle news, the Conservancy is hosting a fundraising event to help restore the historic Pewabic tile mosaic at the basin of the James Scott Memorial Fountain. The Conservancy has currently raised nearly $75,000 of a $300,000 goal to restore the mosaic.
On Wednesday, August 17, the Sunset at the Scott fundraiser will include food from El Guapo Fresh Mexican Grill and Cool Jacks Handcrafted Ice Cream + Cookies, an open beer and wine bar, and music from local band ONEFREQ.
Advance tickets
range from $50 to $250 and are available until August 1. After the first of the month, tickets will cost $65 at the door.

Stadt Garten, a pop-up beer garden, to debut in Midtown
Monday, July 11, 2016
A beer garden is popping up in Midtown this Saturday, July 16, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The inaugural Stadt Garten
German for "City Garden," a nod to co-founder Mark R. Beard's German heritage
is the first of several planned this summer. Proceeds from the event will benefit Hostel Detroit.
The setting for Stadt Garten is the yard a Gothic-Victorian mansion built in the 1880s. Beard was part of
the team that redeveloped
the property, which has three residential units, a clothing shop, and, now, a beer garden.
Why does Beard, who lives in one of the aforementioned residential units, wants to invite a couple hundred strangers to party in his yard?
"It's more important now than it has been in the recent past to come together as a community," he said via text message. "I don't really know of any better way to start knocking down some of the implicit biases that exist in peoples' minds than spending time with one another (in a positive way). Also, horseshoes!"
He added, "And, there's too much mulch in the yard and not enough people."
Vendors for Stadt Garten are mostly local. Corktown brewery
Batch Brewing Company
will be supplying four different types of beer, ranging from $5 to $7 each. Sfumato Fragrances will offer scented cocktails. Wine and food will also be on hand.
Will Leather Goods
, the retailer located across the street, will be selling their own cold brew coffee blend, roasted by Tailored Coffee Roasters. Vice Cream, the vegan ice cream business that operates out of an Air Stream trailer, will bring their dairy-free treats to Stadt Garten, as well.
From 7 to 10 p.m., Ryan Spencer from local eletropop group Jamaican Queens will spin records. Detroit Clothing Circle, the retailer located in the house, will be open during the duration of the beer garden. Beer pong and staring contests, too, are planned.
Stadt Garten is located at 3980 Second Ave.

Detroit Police Department to repurpose historic Old Redford Library building
Monday, July 11, 2016
The Old Redford Library building, a City of Detroit Historic Landmark, will once again play an important role in the west-side neighborhood. It's been announced that the former library will be repurposed as a police-community outreach center. In addition, the neighboring building will become home to the new Detroit Police 8th Precinct.
The Detroit Building Authority selected SDG Associates, Architects and Planners as the architect-of-record.
"The DPD 8th Precinct will serve as part of the continued resurgence of the City of Detroit's municipal fabric, and as part of the community," Melvin Cross, principal at SDG Associates, Architects and Planners, said in a statement. "What makes designing the project special and unique to the 8th precinct will be a semi-public lobby and auditorium to accommodate police and cadet graduations and a space for community meetings to be located in the historic landmark library building."
Much of the aesthetics of the library will remain the same, save for a barrier-free access ramp being added to the front of the building. Necessary repairs will be made and barrier-free access will be added to the interior, including an elevator.
As for the future precinct, it will be completely renovated. Exterior repair work will be carried out and the "Egyptian"-style columns and obelisks will be removed with the architects opting for more simple rectangular forms clad in stained stone to better matching the old library next door. An interior auditorium will be retained for police and community use.
SDG Associates, Architects and Planners are based in downtown Detroit in the Ford Building. Founded by the recently-deceased Howard Sims, SDG is the oldest African American-owned architecture firm in the state of Michigan.
The former Old Redford Library is located at 21551 W. McNichols Rd.

Detroit entrepreneurs have until July 1 to apply for Motor City Match
Monday, June 20, 2016
The clock is ticking for entrepreneurs thinking about applying to Detroit's Motor City Match program. July 1 is the deadline for the small business competition, which awards grant funding, design and technical support, and landlord-tenant match-making assistance. The quarterly competition offers up to $500,000 in grants each round.
Entrepreneurs ranging from established to nascent are encouraged to apply. The competition offers different levels of prizes to local small businesses, depending on a number of factors. For the new entrepreneurs, Motor City Match offers free business planning programming. More advanced entrepreneurs may be matched with a Detroit landlord seeking to fill a storefront or building. Design services from local architecture firms are also available.
The most advanced applicants are eligible to receive up to $100,000.

70 units in 30 days: Forest Arms redevelopment fills up fast in Midtown
Monday, May 23, 2016
Having met Scott Lowell on the grounds of the
Forest Arms
redevelopment, he has the look of a person nearing the end of a long journey. He's tired, relieved, and grateful. After the better part of a decade, Lowell and his wife Carolyn Howard's rehabilitation of the Forest Arms apartment building in Midtown is going to accept its first tenants since 2008. They opened the building up to the market and, in just 30 days, it reached full capacity. 70 units. No vacancy. Residents begin to move in May 28.
The apartment building, built in 1905, experienced a devastating fire in 2008. One person died and the rest were displaced, many with their belongings destroyed. The roof caved in, leaving the building open to the elements. It was a disaster, one that some in the neighborhood believed would surely result in the razing of the historic building. Lowell and Howard, experienced developers with both residences and restaurants to their credit, decided to take on the project, their biggest to date. After six years of the stop-start nature of nailing down the financing and two years of construction, the Forest Arms is open for business.
Lowell uses words like "intense" and "tiring" to characterize the experience of redeveloping the Forest Arms. He's tired, sure, but definitely happy.
"Is it worth it? Yeah, for me," says Lowell. "The building's still standing. It was destined to be torn down. I grew up in the city and watched the neighborhood I grew up in, the east end of the Davison, just implode and watched house after house get demolished and people move away. To be part of this, to save a building, to create something where people want to move to and see the demand, there's a certain kind of reward in that."
Walking through the courtyard and up to the building, Lowell points out the front doors being installed. The wooden doors are new and fashioned after the originals, those having been ruined by fire axes. Walking up the re-built stairs to the roof, workers buzzed through the hallways, putting the finishing touches on the interior, installing light fixtures and other last-minute details.
There are two ways to take in the views from the roof. A community deck, complete with a public kitchen, is open to all of the residents. There are also five penthouses, built atop the newly-built roof, each with their own private deck. Down below the workers are preparing the sprinkler system in time for new sod, originally torn out to install
an expensive geothermal heating system
. Rainwater is recycled for many uses throughout the grounds. On the north side of the building are two retail units, one reserved for music instrument store Third Wave Music and a second envisioned as a bar and restaurant, still searching for a tenant.
At one point, Lowell and Howard had a deal with Wayne State University to lease the building. The deal would have ensured a steady flow of tenants for the developers while
easing that school's student housing shortage
. The deal fell through, however, and they opened the building to the market. Unsure how much interest the building would draw, the dissolution of the deal with Wayne State proved to be a boon for the partners. The building filled up in the span of a month. Lowell says he still receives three to five inquiries a day.
"70 units in 30 days. It's been phenomenal," says Lowell. "I'm just amazed that demand's still here. It's pretty encouraging."
With demand outpacing supply in Midtown, Lowell should be comfortable in the two more buildings they're redeveloping in the area, one with 23 units and the other around 27 units. Those are in the early stages of redevelopment, awaiting the partners' full attention once the Forest Arms project is complete.
Lowell and Howard are also moving a family barn from western Michigan to Detroit, reassembling it as a restaurant and venue in the city that will host live music, weddings, and parties. It's clear Lowell is pretty excited about the project. Though he's not divulging too much information just yet, he did say they've acquired an acre and a half site in Corktown.
Lowell began purchasing properties in Hamtramck in the 1980s and Midtown in the 1990s. Times are different, he says. Back then, people made agreements on beverage napkins at neighborhood bars, handshake deals among neighbors and friends. Today, he regularly fields calls from investors outside of Detroit, promptly turning down offers on his buildings throughout the neighborhood.
With the restoration of the Forest Arms, those phone calls and emails aren't going to slow down any time soon.

Work continues on the restoration of the Detroit Yacht Club
Wednesday, May 11, 2016
The Detroit Yacht Club Foundation (DYCF) is kicking off another year of major repairs to its clubhouse with its spring fundraiser, "Restoring the Grandeur: City Lights Gala." The nonprofit dedicated to the restoration of the country's largest yacht club clubhouse expects another full-capacity crowd for the event, which is open to the public and takes place May 20 at the
Detroit Yacht Club
on Belle Isle.
The gala is an opportunity for both club members and the general public to celebrate the preservation progress already made as well as what's in store for the historic clubhouse, says DYCF president Mark Lifter. Formed in 2011, the foundation has guided a lot of crucial restoration to the building, yet much remains. Lifter estimates that 40 to 50 percent of the exterior work has been completed. At 93,000 sq. ft., it's the biggest yacht club clubhouse in the country.
He calls the current phase of repairs "sealing the envelope" -- big tasks that must be completed before focus can shift to the building's interior. This summer, as in summers past, the foundation will be repairing the roof, stucco, masonry, and windows, protecting the treasures inside from the weather outside. Lifter says that the remaining roof leaks will be finished this summer. "If you don't fix things, they're going to get worse," he says.
It's a big building with a lot of history, making it a sizable undertaking for a relatively small non-profit. Opening in 1923, it was the fourth clubhouse for the Detroit Yacht Club, which was established in 1868. It was designed in a classic Mediterranean style by George Mason, the architect famous for a stable of postcard-worthy buildings that include Detroit's Masonic Temple and the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.
Tickets for the fundraiser gala are
available online
and via phone. Live and silent auctions, a cash bar, and a strolling dinner are included in the ticket price, which ranges from $125 to $400 -- a significant portion of which is tax deductible. The DYCF also offers monthly tours of the facilities to members and non-members alike.
The Detroit Yacht Club is located at One Riverbank Rd. on Belle Isle. Call them at (313) 757-5240.

April development news round-up: Retail, restaurants, and office space
Friday, April 29, 2016
It's been another busy month for development news in the city. Let's catch up on some of the biggest stories from the past four weeks.
Detroit City Football Club (DCFC),
which announced a move from Detroit to Hamtramck last year
, opened a retail store, office, and community space at 2750 Yemans Street this month. To celebrate, DCFC is hosting an open house there from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27. DCFC opens their first season at Keyworth Stadium on May 20, 2016.
Bedrock Detroit, Dan Gilbert's real estate arm, pulled in two more high-profile office tenants. Ally Financial will lease 13 floors in One Detroit Center at 500 Woodward Ave. and is consolidating more than 1,300 employees into the building. As a result of the move, Bedrock is renaming the building Ally Detroit Center. The Detroit-based consulting firm LoVasco, which specializes in insurance, employee benefits, and retirement services, is moving into the Bedrock-owned and -managed One Woodward Avenue building. 20 employees will make the move, too.
Six Detroit-based projects were announced as
2016 Knight Cities Challenge winners
, receiving awards that total $638,084 of the $5 million awarded nationally. According to organizers, each of the ideas help "cities attract and keep talented people, expand economic opportunities and create a culture of civic engagement." Winners include Pedal to Porch, a monthly bike tour that gives neighborhood residents the opportunity to tell their stories; Dequindre Cut Market, a pop-up retail district along the bike and pedestrian trail; Detroit's Exciting Adventure into the Pink Zone, which will seek to transform how the city's commercial districts are developed and designed; Give a Park, Get a Park, a micro-park system throughout the city; Sensors in a Shoebox, an educational program that enables youth to better understand their neighborhoods through sensors and data; and the People First Project, which creates a network of tactical urbanists to affect change.

Detroiter opening vintage clothing shop in Corktown discovers deep roots
Friday, April 29, 2016
As determined as Lana Rodriguez has been to open her
Mama Coo's Boutique
in a brick-and-mortar storefront, she's been just as determined to keep the business where she grew up, in southwest Detroit. Fortunately for her, Rodriguez recently signed a letter of intent to lease the storefront at 1707 Trumbull St. for her resale and vintage clothing business in the city's Corktown neighborhood.
Then she learned something incredible about the building when she took a picture of it soon after signing the lease. "I showed my mom the picture and she just started laughing," says Rodriguez.
Call it fate, chance, or whatever you want, but the building Rodriguez is renting in 2016 is the exact same building that housed her grandparents' first apartment when they moved from Texas to Detroit in the 1950s. Rodriguez had no idea.
The Rodriguez's roots in Corktown go even deeper. Across the street from Mama Coo's future home is a statue of Father Clement Kern, an influential priest in the community who lead the congregation at Most Holy Trinity Church for three decades. Father Kern is also the reason the Rodriguez family, previously Pentecostal, converted to Catholicism. Lana's grandmother promised Father Kern that if he said a prayer for a daughter sick with tuberculosis and she survived, Lana's grandmother would convert the family. Lana's aunt recovered and Father Kern would go on to baptize a number of her family members.
Mama Coo's Boutique is an upscale resale and vintage clothing shop. Rodriguez makes her own accessories and other wearables, which she'll sell. She'll also bring in outside artists and let them use her space for pop-ups and other events.
Earlier this month, Rodriguez was awarded $18,000 by the city's Motor City Match program. She says the money will help her get off on the right foot and not be hindered by up-front financial constraints. It will also benefit others in the community.
"Motor City Match allowed me to purchase items from local artists and makers through wholesale and not just on consignment," says Rodriguez. "This way I can support local artists directly and they don't have to wait to be paid."
Rodriguez found the storefront with the help of TechTown, where she graduated from the retail bootcamp program. While she wanted a location closer to the Bagley strip of Mexicantown, Rodriguez found the building on Trumbull to be perfect in size, aesthetics, and history.
She'll have a number of new neighbors, too. As Rodriguez hustles to open, also opening in the building will be a barber shop, a small market later in the summer, and hopefully two more businesses in the fall.
Mama Coo's Boutique is expected to open in June. It is located at 1707 Trumbull St.

Two new placemaking projects launched on city's east and west sides
Saturday, April 23, 2016
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is once again supporting Detroit placemaking projects through its matching grant program, this time pledging a total of $65,000 if two projects can meet their crowdfunding goals.
On the city's far east side, a group is planning on renovating Skinner Playfield. Located adjacent to Denby High School, the new Skinner Park will receive significant upgrades if organizers are able to raise $50,000 through a
Patonicity crowdfunding campaign
. If $50,000 is raised by May 10, MEDC will contribute an additional $50,000 to the project.
According to organizers, Skinner Playfield isn't much more than a playscape, walking track, and some scattered apple trees. Among the planned improvements include two basketball courts, a volleyball court, a pickleball court, a football-and-soccer field, urban gardens, and a performance pavilion complete with a water catchment system to irrigate said gardens.
The revitalized park is the vision of Detroit non-profit Life Remodeled and Denby High School students themselves. Says Life Remodeled CEO Chris Lambert, "I only wish I had a park this awesome in my neighborhood, but what excites me even more is the fact that Denby High School students designed it."
On the west side of the city, in Grandmont Rosedale, organizers are hoping to raise funds for a wayfinding path called NeighborWay. By successfully crowdfunding $15,000 by May 20, also through a
Patronicity crowdfunding campaign
, the MEDC will contribute an additional $15,000 to the project.
NeighborWay will connect points of interest, like parks, gardens, and public art installations, throughout the Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods. Money will also be used to enhance three existing sites into community hubs.
"Connecting a community in an interactive way gives residents and visitors a renewed appreciation for the area," says MSHDA Executive Director Kevin Elsenheimer.

The passion that drives owners is infectious and will as well enchant children and adults. Hospitality is exceptional in comparison to other tourist attractions. Children were captivated through the various anecdotes which they have been told by the owner, as well as by the game trail and observation to make. Time passes very quickly once absorbed in this magical place. For adults (men and women), the artistic work of making of the figures and scenes is amazing and worth a look. The quality of the reproduced scenes makes the very living museum and makes you want to discover the history behind the moments of life represented. The owners are available to visitors and make them share and discover these slices of history with visible pleasure. A visit not to be missed.View original

Module 1 Background TAS Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) Training in monitoring and epidemiological assessment of mass drug administration for eliminating lymphatic filariasis Module 1 Background
Learning objectives By the end of this module, you should be able to answer the questions: 1.What is lymphatic filariasis (LF)? 2.What is the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF)? 3.What is a transmission assessment survey (TAS)? 4.How does the national programme report to the GPELF? Slide 2
Module 1 Background Overview What is LF? The GPELF Programme steps for interrupting transmission Mapping Mass drug administration (MDA) Monitoring and evaluation during MDA TAS Post-MDA surveillance Reporting to the GPELF Slide 3
Module 1 Background What is lymphatic filariasis (LF)? W. bancroftiB. malayiB. timori Caused by three species of parasitic worm: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori Transmitted to humans by mosquitoes Slide 4 Source:
Module 1 Background Slide 5 The commonest clinical manifestations are lymphoedema, which affects 15 million people, and scrotal hydrocoele, which affects 25 million men Lymphoedema Hydrocoele What is lymphatic filariasis (LF)?
Module 1 Background Slide 6 Endemic in 73 countries; 1.39 billion people at risk of infection (2011) What is lymphatic filariasis (LF)?
Module 1 Background Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) Slide 7 In 1997, the World Health Assembly resolved to eliminate lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem (WHA resolution 50.29). In 2000, the GPELF was launched by WHO Aim 1. Stop the spread of infection: interrupt transmission by MDA Aim 2. Reduce the suffering caused by the disease: morbidity management and disability prevention Goal: Global elimination by 2020
Module 1 Background GPELF works in partnership with: the ministries of health of countries endemic for LF, which are responsible for national programmes donors pharmeceutical and diagnostics companies academic and research institutions nongovernmental organizations WHO Slide 8 Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF)
Module 1 Background Programmatic steps for interrupting transmission Slide 9 1.Mapping the geographical distribution of the disease. 2.MDA for 5 years or more to reduce the number of parasites in blood to levels that will prevent mosquito vectors from transmitting infection. 3.Post-MDA surveillance after MDA is discontinued. 4.Verification of elimination of transmission. MappingMDA Post-MDA surveillance Verification
Module 1 Background Mapping Slide 10 Mapping: to determine whether active transmission is occurring and whether MDA is necessary. 1.Define the implementation unit (IU) for MDA. 2.Conduct mapping by: reviewing existing information conducting mapping surveys Measure antigenaemia by immunochromatographic tests (ICT) or measure microfilaria in blood films from older school-aged or adult populations. If the prevalence in this population is ≥ 1%, classify the IU as endemic.
Module 1 Background MDA Slide 11 GPELF recommends mass administration: of a combination of medicines: diethylcarbamazine (DEC) + albendazole (in countries not co-endemic for onchocerciasis) ivermectin + albendazole (in countries co-endemic for onchocerciasis) of single-dose treatment for at least 5 years to all eligible individuals in the entire endemic area The objective is to achieve: a reduction in the density of microfilariae circulating in the blood of infected individuals and a reduction in the prevalence of infection in the entire community to levels at which it is assumed that microfilariae can no longer be transmitted by mosquito vectors to new human hosts.
Module 1 Background Monitoring and evaluation during MDA Slide 12 Mapping Mf or Ag≥1% TAS Surveillance Baseline MDA Follow-up [Eligibility] Mid-term (optional) Yes M&E Pass Fail Prevalence of Mf or Ag can be used in mapping. Coverage is monitored at each MDA round to determine whether the goal of at least 65% coverage of the total population was met. After at least five rounds of effective MDA, the impact is evaluated at sentinel and spot- check sites. If all the eligibility criteria are met, a transmission assessment survey (TAS) is conducted before deciding to stop MDA. TAS is repeated twice during post-MDA surveillance phase.
Module 1 Background Transmission assessment Survey (TAS) Slide 13 Technical aspectGuidance Geographical areaEvaluation Unit (EU) When survey should be conducted When all the eligibility criteria are met At least 6 months after the last round of MDA Target populationChildren aged 6–7 years Diagnostic tests W. bancrofti areas: ICT Brugia spp. areas: Brugia Rapid™ Survey design Cluster sampling or systematic sampling in schools or the community, or a census A TAS is the basis for a decision to move from MDA to post-MDA surveillance. A TAS is a simplified version of the 'stopping-MDA survey' protocol.
Module 1 Background Limitations of previous guideline Slide 14 Mapping Mf or Ag≥1% Stopping MDA survey Surveillance Baseline MDA Follow-up [Eligibility] Mid-term (optional) Yes M&E Pass Fail An additional 5–10 sentinel or spot-check tests were required per IU. Antigenaemia surveys of 2–4-year-old children were not informative in most countries. Lot quality assurance sampling surveys were difficult to implement (e.g. too many schools to visit per IU to test 3000 children). The 1 in 3000 threshold was too conservative. < 1% Mf < 0.1% ICT LQAS 3000 children Difficult to implement; extremely conservative threshold.
Module 1 Background Post-MDA surveillance Slide 15 Mapping Mf or Ag≥1% TAS Surveillance Baseline MDA Follow-up [Eligibility] Mid-term (optional) Yes M&E Pass Fail A TAS is not only an important decision-making step for stopping MDA but is also one of the methods of post-MDA surveillance recommended for detecting whether recrudescence of transmission has occurred. A survey should be repeated at least twice after MDA is stopped, at an interval of 2–3 years, to ensure that recrudescence has not occurred and therefore transmission can be considered interrupted.
Module 1 Background Reporting from a national programme to the GPELF Slide 16 Communicate plan to WHO/RPRG RPRG endorses plan TAS Submit report to WHO/RPRG RPRG endorses results Verification Post-MDA surveillance Submit dossier to WHO/RPRG RPRG endorses dossier and recommends it to STAG-NTD (via its M&E Working Group) STAG-NTD endorses the claim Begin planning TAS (Proposed framework)

Club Candids: Funked Up at Long Wong's
It's time for a revelation: The new Long Wong's in Tempe will never be the same as the old Long Wong's in Tempe. More than seven years after its untimely demise, the Mill Avenue landmark (which gave birth to some of the biggest bands in Valley history) still casts a huge shadow over the local music scene and will never be duplicated.
That being said, the new Long Wong's is one of the best places in the Valley to catch a bands or watch a gig, even if it's on an off night like this past Monday. Mikel Lander from The Sugar Thieves and Brad B. from The Insects unveiled their new weekly event Funked Up (which mixes funk, blues, hip-hop beats) and we can't think of a cooler place to hold the night.
Despite a downright brutal cold snap, dozens showed up to listen to some hot music and peruse the art work being created and displayed by Tempe's most creative cats. Check out who was in the house via this week's Club Candids slideshow.

Picked up a local paper at this campsite, very interesting indeed. First thing of note was the write up about the storm earlier in the week, which was apparently the worst they'd had in 20 years.

Will judge properly after we've toured the old town tomorrow.
Oh, must comment on our morning coffee break, picture attached. Per Penny it was the best dessert she'd ever had and she got 3 for the price of 1 (or so it seemed).
A few more polytunnels on the way, but mainly back to orange trees, even in the city, picture attached.

Interesting architecture and boats on the beach
... morning we drove to an aqueduct and an old abandoned sugar mill to take our photos. The Maro Aqueduct is an interesting piece of architecture, all lines and angles, and painted in reds and yellows. We had to walk down a steep dirt road to get to it.

Comments about Kate Landry Ring-Top Metallic Faux-Leather Frame Clutch:
I ordered this item online in silver; along with several other items from Dillard's in preparation for an upcoming formal event. When I opened the package, it was like Christmas day !!! I am extremely pleased... the outline of the clutch bag reminds me of a crown and it is ample size to accommodate keys, a cell phone, makeup, and such. Dillard's did an outstanding job with the quality, packaging and presentation of all the items I ordered!!!
I would most definitely purchase this product again

Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML

What is a relationship book? When I read it I was expecting it to be a picture album
you know, you could have just written one thing down.
If he had just written one thing down, he would have been lying. Sounds like he was more interested in the book and fixing problems then she was. The whole idea is for both of them to be honest, and she was lying. EVERYONE does somethings that you cannot stand, but that doesn't mean you love them any less.
112 and 153 are absolutely right. she deserves it for lying. nobody loves EVERYTHING their spouse does and you wouldn't be reading a relationship book if you weren't having problems.
I completely agree. She's obviously lying. Chapter two better cover honesty.
most certainly a trap
yeah, 88, the OP's wife clearly lied. and, OP, just remember, she's going to hang this incident over your head until the day you die. every little argument will include something like 'oh, well at least i don't ______________...oh wait1 I DO DO THAT, DON'T I!?!?!?!?!' have fun with it...really...
It sounds like your wife has a problem engaging in open, honest communication. Everybody does things that tick other people off. Either she doesn't think she can be critical with you or she has a temperament where she lets things build up until they boil over. Regarding #262 - he wasn't telling her her faults, he was telling her things he doesn't like. My $0.02 is to put away the books and go to a good marriage counselor that can guide the two of you into communicating more effectively.
Three Choices- 1. She is telling the truth. 2. She couldn't think of anything so she wrote down that. 3. She is lying. I don't care if people call her maniupulative but those are three choices. The other meanings can wait.

actually love is blind.. when u love someone u see everything they do is good and u see nothing bad that's why hate brings out all the hidden mysterious about the person u love. I agree she might be lying and maybe shes not
277, are you fucking serious? That's bullshit. Next you're gonna tell me some baby in diapers with arrows shoots people in the arse for them to fall in love. Oh and he's blind, too?
Aww.. Poor wife. Sometimes in a relationship, ya need to bottle it up a bit. >.
I still can't believe some guys still fall for the "tell me all my flaws so that we can be a stronger couple" trick. Guys, it never works, girls don't like to be told what is wrong with them. subtlety working at it, acceptable. Anyway, let that be a lesson to you guys. (and always make her show her hand first)
that is not true for all women at all.. but go ahead and generalize. personally, i would much rather have gotten his list than her list. i WANT to know what i do that bothers my boyfriend so i can decide whether or not its something i can change, we can talk about it, and nothing gets bottled to explode out later. not ALL women are manipulative. not ALL women want to know what you don't like about them just so they can hold it against you. there are many women, such as myself, who genuinely want to work on things like that, especially if it means having a better relationship with somebody you love. to this guy... FYL for being honest and having a manipulative wife. don't let her throw this shit in your face, because its clearly a lie that nothing about you bothers her. straight up.
You're right; not all women are manipulative and can't stand being told their flaws. But I haven't met one. In my experience, even if a girl claims to want to be told their flaws and says they aren't manipulative, it's a lie. Also, OP, if she doesn't try to talk about it without the help of something like the book, it's absolutely loaded. Fleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Agreed when you say even the ones who claim not to be manipulative, are.
Suck for her
I constantly ask my boyfriend what I do that bothers him; I want to know what to work on to make myself a better girlfriend to him. Yeah I'll get mad, but not at him. I get mad because I let myself act badly towards him.
By justbea777
guess you'll be sleeping on the couch for a while lmao that sucks though /: it was definitely a lose lose situation.
Why would you expect him to be sleeping on the couch for that? If she is that upset she can plunk her ass down on that couch, or call her mom and spend the night there. Totally ridiculous that you'd expect him to kowtow to her after her obvious entrapment backfired. "Hey honey, we should take a look at this relationship book" - translates to, "I think our relationship has some issues we need to work out." He was honest. She was manipulative and/or fishing for compliments.
I don't think that's necessarily true, you don't have to have problems in your relationship to do those books.They might have just been trying to strengthen they're relationship, they wouldn't have to have underlying problems to do that. But with that being said you're right, she was trying to be manipulative.
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
How do you think that would make her feel? Sure he was honest, but there was no reason to write a freaking list of things he didn't like. A few major things that really bothered him would've been more than enough. He hurt her feelings, and if anyone has to leave I think it should've been him.
Yeah, actually, there was plenty of reason for him to write a list of things he didn't like, seeing as that was the whole point of the exercise they both agreed to try out in an attempt to improve/strengthen their relationship. Sugarcoating what he had to say wouldn't have benefited either of them, and would have only worked against him in the long run. But then again, I'm the kind of person that values honesty over "little white lies" to spare people's feelings.
Sure, there were plenty of reasons for him to write a long list, and it seems odd that she wrote "I love everything about you" if SHE suggested the book. However, if either he suggested it (which I'm sure most of us find somewhat unlikely) or if they had to do it for some kind of therapy (seriously, how do we know?) then I don't blame her. That really blows for both of them. And we also all know that he will end up sleeping on the couch if anyone does. I'm not trying to be sexist or anything, but how often do you hear about a man making his wife sleep away from the bed? Especially since the OP clearly feels guilty about this particular event. Legitimately, it would be ridiculous for either one of them to force each other out over this, but it's very unlikely that she will be the one leaving the bed if anyone does.
Glad that you know what every single relationship book says. You must be an awesome librarian.
Just to reply to GDinNJ (#82) - actually, I would imagine that it is far more typical for the woman to sleep on the couch in those situations. Unless the husband is a totally pussy-whipped bitch, but by that time in the relationship sex is probably so infrequent that any 'power' the woman derives from withholding it is long gone. Besides, his list of items was pretty long, which suggests that there are any number of things that his wife needs to work on, which probably shows his patience with her has been steadily eroded over the past number of years. And if she is upset, she can be the one who sleeps somewhere else. And I may be projecting with this last point, but so be it: chances are the husband has paid for the house and everything in it. This isn't 100% of course, but the vast majority of cases are like this, I assure you (yes even despite women's lib). Telling me to sleep on the couch when I've paid for the bed, and I've paid for the food, and I've paid for the house. Not going to happen.
I have to respond more generally to this comment again. "And we also all know that he will end up sleeping on the couch if anyone does. I'm not trying to be sexist or anything, but how often do you hear about a man making his wife sleep away from the bed?" Where exactly did you get this idea from - watching your parents, friends, friends parents, aunts, uncles and siblings? No you didn't. You got this idea from television. Just to clear it up: Television is fake. Every commercial, every program - yes reality shows included. Television is not some sort of documentary device. It is pure entertainment. Its fake. So your comment above, irrelevant and based on nothing credible.
@ Hoax "chances are the husband has paid for the house and everything in it." I know you did not just seriously say that.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why you are getting upset by my comment. I'm simply stating that the OP is clearly feeling somewhat guilty. Therefore we know that guilt will sometimes lead to a person doing something to make the person they have "offended" feel better. If a person actually loves someone, they're not going to think the way you do. I'm making the assumption that you aren't married. Just a guess. Sometimes we need to ignore our pride and do things for other people. If the OP thinks that he should sleep on the couch to win his wife back, maybe he'll do that. Even if he isn't whipped. And I second theanonimouse's statement. I cannot believe you even considered that it was a good idea to say that. At least 75% of the families in my community consist of two working parents. Sometimes the husband makes more money and sometimes the wife does. Your statement was inaccurate and, in all honesty, very offending, whether you intended it to be or not. So I apologize if my tone was unnecessarily biting, but I'm kind of annoyed with that particular part of your post.
i really fucking hope you are trolling, hoax. i don't know a SINGLE married couple in which the male buys everything. i bet that she spent just the same amount of money on the house as he did. this isn't the 1800's', you know, women actually have to get jobs. i am not even a feminist, but that is just a disgusting thing to say. as for the OP, his wife is fucking nuts and immature. if you are going to do an exercise, she might as well do it right. and crying over her husband being truthful is disgusting. she is a manipulating bitch. and she is lying, because it is impossible that she is not bothered by ANYTHING that he does. she set up theim situation so she could play victim. disgusting.
Sorry, #189, but I've actually seen this in real life. No male member of my family (immediate and extended) has made their wife sleep on the couch. A good number of the women have done so. My parents do it if one of them is sick, too. If my dad's sick, he sleeps on the couch so as to not get my mom sick. If my mom's sick, he sleeps on the couch so she can have the bed.
There are two points I suppose I should clarify. The first is that the man does not make the wife sleep on the couch - she opts to do so when he doesn't give into her nagging to do so. The second is that there are geographical culture differences that I should have made clear. In the midwest, and many other areas of the country (US) there are many dual income families. These comprise the majority of lower middle and middle class households. In the area in which I live and work, the NY metro area, there are more single income families - and these single income, married families comprise most of the upper middle class households in the US. That is to say, in the majority of cases, the upper middle class household has a working husband and a non-working wife. This should make sense, the wife doesn't need to work when the husband can comfortably support the entire family. I apologize that I took my experiences, and that of my colleagues, and extrapolated them to fit all households in the United States. To reiterate, however, the OP might feel guilty, but he rationally has no reason to do so. His wife manipulated events to precisely the conclusion that occurred - and she, of course, feels bad for doing so, after the fact. I wouldn't be surprised if she has the gall to tell him to sleep on the couch, but I would be appalled if the OP complied.
@ Hoax "The man does not make the wife sleep on the couch - she opts to do so when he doesn't give into her nagging to do so." You, sir, are a terribly sexist individual. I'm not sure if you've realized this yet, or if you'll ever admit to it, but judging by your comments here, (and I understand this is a very narrow set of circumstances from which to draw a judgement of a person's character, but just bear with me here), you seem to have a very negative view of women. Nagging, manipulative, non-working, using sex as some kind of "power" against their husbands... it almost seems to me that you may have become embittered against women for some reason... a few failed relationships, maybe? And don't act like you just weren't clear with your earlier comment about the man paying for "the house and everything in it," which you apparently assumed was true for "the vast majority of cases." If you do just so happen to be surrounded by women of such character in the upper-middle class NY metro area, I suggest you travel a bit. We aren't all that way, I swear.
I can't believe you're so blind and stuck up as to assume the husband has paid for EVERYTHING in the house. In my family, my mother makes more money then my father. I do love my dad very much, but I do know that he wouldn't pay the bills without her. For most of my family's friends, the husband has been with out a job for at least a year while the wife was the one working and earning money to live on until they picked themselves back up. You need to get off your high horse and jump back down to reality.
You know, its not terribly inaccurate to call me sexist, but I suppose it should be mitigated by explaining that I wouldn't trust most men to even take out my trash. The problem is that I suffer from a biological compulsion to always give women the benefit of the doubt, and having dealt with them for a number of years I've simply become jaded by their constant failings. I mean, I see a man do something stupid, and I have no problem chucking him into the "total moron" category. When an attractive woman does it, there is always an ambivalence to my reaction, and then I become doubly disappointed, disappointed with her and disappointed with myself, when she repeats such idiotic behavior when I should have just checked her in the "Not worth it" bin. The problem, honestly, has become far more apparent the more financially successful I've become. The predatory, lying behavior I have witnessed from women looking to ingratiate themselves to me is really no different than that of grifters setting up their next mark. I have friends who have married some of these people because they thought they were happy, only to be turned on the moment the ring was slipped on the finger. The problem is that the number of honest, trustworthy people in this world is overshadowed completely by legions, hordes of scum. I have actually started living well below my means, in hopes of finding someone genuine. Yes, foolishly hope still remains. Concerning my own relations with women, I have absolutely been blackmailed on more than one occasion when it comes to sex - this is where the whole "you're sleeping on the couch" thing comes into it. Either agree with her, or you're not getting any - that's why the comment set me off, its blackmail, plain and simple. And concerning women in the workplace, I've also witnessed them use sex as a means to get ahead, or not be fired. Promotions come easy, and the amount of work you're expected to do is low, when you
While I disagree with your biological explanation for why women don't work, (not all women have children, you only have to take off work a couple weeks when giving birth, childcare could be shared between both parents working different shifts, etc), I sympathize with your attitude toward humanity. I'm young, probably naive, and from a small, friendly town in south MS. I go to a small, friendly college. So, it makes sense that most of the people I know are friendly people. I don't know too many "scum bags," honestly. My sister is probably the worst I know, but she's got a debilitating disease, so I can find some justification for her marginally "manipulative" behavior - she literally cannot support herself, so maintaining a relationship with someone able to support her is, in her mind, an imperative. I'm sorry you have such a negative view of society. Hopefully you'll be proven wrong at some point in the future. :)
"That is to say, in the majority of cases, the upper middle class household has a working husband and a non-working wife. This should make sense, the wife doesn't need to work when the husband can comfortably support the entire family." Ironically, this is the exact type of community that I reside in, haha. Although in my case, there are very few stay at home wives compared to the number of working mothers/wives. Ah well, I suppose different parts of the middle/upper class NY area have different norms, right?
Hoax, was that really the time or place to let rip a six paragraph explanation about your soap opera compulsions and self defense mechanisms? You seem an interesting enough fella, but you need a sympathetic ear to tell all of your views on women to. Hopefully nobody you love, I suggest you pay the psychiatrist fee. Best of luck in your own pursuit of happiness
how is that an FHL? They agreed to do so, and I would assume they both agreed to total honesty - he was, she either wasn't or is delusional/in denial.
You probably have a great relationship don't you?
No when he said its more of you wife's FML he meant the wife should've written it not him!
lmao that made me laugh xD
By smiller0789
If you two actually needed to work on your relationship and didn't just get the book for fun, then she fails. I'm sure if she tried even a little she could think of something that annoys her, knowing what you need to change is an important part of relationships.
