RAF C-17 Aircraft Gives Support To French Mission In Mali
Three RAF Chinooks deployed in Mali last month to help the French air force in a counter insurgency mission.
Op Newcombe was originally announced more than five years ago by David Cameron (Picture: MoD/Flt Lt Chris Warr).
A Royal Air Force C-17 transport aircraft has arrived at Gao airfield in Mali for the first time.
The flight was to deliver supplies to the RAF Chinook Detachment currently deployed supporting French operations there.
Three RAF Chinooks deployed in Mali last month to help the French air force in a counter-insurgency mission.
France's deployment in the Sahel region of West Africa began in 2013 after the Malian government asked for military assistance.
At the time French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, predicted that Operation Barkhane would last "a matter of weeks".
Britain's support to French operation, named Operation Newcombe, was originally announced in January 2013.
The arrival of the C-17 marks the first time that the RAF have been able to directly support the Gao-based Chinooks since they deployed earlier this year.
The C-17 will enable a monthly supply to the detachment through direct flights after previous supplies had to be flown to Niger and transhipped.
Previously supplies have been flown to neighbouring Niger and then transhipped.
Flying Officer Matt Nowicki, detachments logistics officer said: "Flying directly into Gao significantly shortens the logistics chain, which until now has relied on onward movements of freight from Niamey Airbase in Niger.
"Being able to fly to Gao has made an immense difference to supporting operations."
Flights by the C-17 are now possible following RAF personnel from 99 Squadron ensuring the runway and airfield facilities would safely allow the aircraft to be operated.
As well as carrying essential mission equipment and urgent aircraft spares, the C-17 also transported the first relief in place of RAF personnel to and out of Mali, bringing to an end the first rotation of Airmen supporting the French Op Barkhane.
The RAF Chinook detachment are deployed more than 3,000 miles away in Mali and relies on both RAF and French transport support to get supplies moved from the Chinook's base at RAF Odiham out to sub-Saharan Africa.
Wing Commander Matt Roberts, RAF detachment commander said: "This is no mean feat and the support from the French has been outstanding unloading the vast amount of freight onto a makeshift operating area located close to the UK detachment."


text: After a particularly gruelling hike our group took a shortcut down a steep hillside. In theory, this should simply have involved a modest river crossing to the village below. Unbeknown to us heavy mountain rainfall had swollen the river to the point where it had become virtually impassable. Dreading the thought of an extra four miles to the nearest bridge, we crossed the fast flowing river with water up to our chins and backpacks above our heads; much to the amusement of the local villagers who gathered to watch. The final leg of the tour was a visit to Halong Bay. A UNESCO World Heritage Site Halong is made up of a myriad of limestone islands. Several floating villages are occupied by sea gypsies and the passing junks of local traders while the scenery is nothing short of stunning. Cat Ba Island is the largest of 366 islands which make up the archipelago at the South East edge of Halong Bay. Approximately half is a national park, although most visitors relax on the few sandy beaches which surround the main town and visit the neighbouring islands. Seizing the last opportunity to replicate the Top Gear motorcycle tour, a few of us hired bikes. True to form, after about 20 kilometres my rear tyre burst on a remote road. As if by magic I was rescued by a passing villager who, despite the language barrier, set about repairing the damage. The end of the tour saw a return to the traffic-filled streets of Hanoi. This was probably the most stressful part of the entire trip with congestion resulting in a check in at the Malaysia Airlines desk some 30 minutes before the gate closed. Vietnam is a beautiful and diverse country with distinct cultural differences between North and South. For a nation that has endured so many years of conflict, the people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They're also rightly proud of everything their country has to offer." By Lee Hills 54 " 55 Trekking in and around Sapa was the most physically demanding part of the trip, but we were rewarded by stunning scenery.

Discussing the new Fender 2016 Deluxe range of guitars
2016 has been an absolute landmark year for Fender, with the brand releasing some absolute essential instruments and amplifiers for professional musicians such as the Elite Range and Fender Bassbreaker series of amps. The release of the Fender Elite range in particular has seen the brand implement modern design techniques that make everyone's lives a lot easier such as easy access to the truss rod, modern C shape neck and a contoured neck heel. We actually covered the new range in a blog which you can read here.
The new American Elite range was a higher budget line of guitars, but with this in mind, Fender, being the awesome brand that they are, released a follow-up range of guitars which included some of the more modern modifications and same high build quality out of their Mexican factory with a more budget friendly price tag to ensure everyone had access to a selection of these great improvements. They called it the 2016 Deluxe range, and the results certainly did not disappoint with a range of Stratocasters, Telecasters and Thinline models taking the music world by storm.
Today we're going to discuss the new Fender 2016 Deluxe range and pick five of our favourites from this great selection of guitars.
Fender 2016 Deluxe Telecaster Thinline RW Guitar
When you want the best of vintage meets modern in a guitar, look no further than the Fender 2016 Deluxe Telecaster Thinline. This new model from Fender marries that vintage style with modern modifications effortlessly to create a new go-to guitar for the professional musician. You have an awesome pair of Vintage noiseless single-coil Tele pickups in the bridge and neck positions with 4-way control offering a fatter, hotter output and superior control over your sound. It's worth noting that the 4th position combines both of these great pickups in series giving you a hotter output and seriously punchy midrange – ideal for when you need to bust out a solo or add some extra power to those heavy rock riffs. In regards to those modern adjustments, you also have the locking short post tuning machines for extra tuning stability and quick string changes as well as the C shaped neck for playing comfort on both ends of the maple neck. If you're in the market for a Thinline Telecaster, we suggest you try this one out for sure.
Fender 2016 Deluxe Stratocaster MN HSS
For those who want that Stratocaster feel, playability and overall tone, but need the option to increase the power when the occasion calls for it, may we recommend the Fender 2016 Deluxe Stratocaster MN HSS. This Deluxe model incorporates all the character of the Stratocaster, but adds a Twin Head Vintage Humbucking pickup to provide you with a heated, yet rich tone. However, the tonal possibilities don't stop there. Not only do you have Vintage Noisless pickups in the bridge and middle positions for that classic strat sound, but you can also engage the built-in S-1 switch to single out the rear coil of the bridge pickup. Go from humbucking fat tones, to the signature Stratocaster sound in an instant – when paired with a Bassbreaker, this thing absolutely wails! In terms of playability, the neck has been improved thanks to the contoured neck heel which allows better access to the higher frets when you're noodling away. The traditional alder body feels amazing and really adds to the overall sustain and tone of the guitar – so feel free to solo as much as you want! Available with both Maple and Rosewood necks.
ender 2016 Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster
The Fender 2016 Roadhouse Stratocaster is a huge highlight for us here owing to its unique tonal capabilities. Of course you have the three single-coil Vintage Noiseless pickups to choose from, offering a wide variety of great tones and signature Stratocaster sounds, but it's the S-1 switch that fans of pure tones will really appreciate. The S-1 switch located in the master volume pot bypasses the preamp offering the purest of pickup sounds and really allowing the Roadhouse strat to sing. The partnership of this interesting addition with the alder body ensures you have a guitar that can really sing when you want it to. The ample neck is seriously comfortable to play and the contoured heel ensures playing fatigue is reduced when you're flying up and down the neck. It's available with either a Rosewood or Maple fingerboard too.
Fender 2016 Deluxe Nashville Telecaster
Next up we have the Fender 2016 Deluxe Nashville Telecaster, which is a great addition to the brand's already impressive line-up of guitars. The interesting, and probably most obvious difference with this tele in comparison to others is the addition of a third pickup in the middle position. This isn't just any pickup setup by the way, Fender have thoroughly provided guitarists with a great tonally versatile option by including two noise free Vintage Noiseless Tele' pickups in the bridge and neck position and added a single-coil Strat pickup in the middle position. This offers fans of the Telecaster so much more in terms of tonal variety without ever taking away from that signature tele sound that they love. The five-way Strat-o-Tone pickup switching ensures you can change your sound up on the fly and blend your tone to your needs. As with all the 2016 Deluxe models, you have the modern C profile neck to thank for superior comfort. The 22 narrow tall frets and flatter design of the 12" radius makes this Nashville Tele a pleasure to play.
Fender 2016 Deluxe Stratocaster
Finally, we have an absolute classic. The Fender 2016 Deluxe Stratocaster features that reliable SSS pickup configuration, this time with 3 Vintage Noisless single-coil pickups providing the player with that true Stratocaster sound without any hum or interference. You also have a great Push/Push mini-switch to located between the two tone pots which can activate a blend of the Middle, Neck and Bridge pickups in position 4, or a combination of the Neck and Bridge pickups in position 5 which furthers the tonal versatility of this guitar. The modern two point synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddle maintains a strong connection between the body and strings to provide stability as well as an easily manipulated tremolo arm for those vibrato sounds we all love. Dive bombs ahoy! Our favourite has to be this great model in Vintage blond and Maple neck and fretboard.
So there you have it – 5 great options from the 2016 Fender Deluxe range. We are certainly impressed by their playability and their affordability too. Check out the full range over at the Dawsons website and call in to your local store to try one for yourself.

ABSTRACT: This technical note describes a new microfluidic sensor that combines low-cost (US$0.97) with rapid fabrication and user-friendly, fast, sensitive, and accurate quantification of breast cancer biomarker. The electrodes consisted of cost-effective bare stainless-steel capillaries, whose mass-production is already well-established. These capillaries were used as received, without any surface modification. Microfluidic chips containing electrical double-layer capillary capacitors (μEDLC) were obtained by a cleanroom-free prototyping that allows the fabrication of dozens to hundreds of chips in 1 h. This sensor provided the successful quantification of CA 15-3, a biomarker protein for breast cancer, in serum samples from cancer patients. Antibody-anchored magnetic beads were utilized for immunocapture of the marker and, then water was added to dilute the protein. Next, the CA 15-3 detection (< 2 min) was made without using redox probes, antibody on electrode (sandwich immunoassay), or signal amplification strategies. In addition, the capacitance tests eliminated external pumping systems and precise volumetric sampling steps, as well as presented low sample volume (5 µL) and high sensitivity using bare capillaries in a new design for double-layer capacitors. The achieved limit-of-detection (92.0 µU mL–1) is lower than the most methods reported in the literature for CA 15-3, which are based on nanostructured electrodes. The data shown in this technical note support the potential of the µEDLC towards breast cancer diagnosis even at early stages. We believe that accurate analyses using a simple sample pretreatment such as magnetic field-assisted immunocapture and cost-effective bare electrodes can be extended to quantify other cancer biomarkers and even biomolecules by changing the biorecognition element.

Take Your Preschooler to the Gym February 7
Is there anyone who has more energy than a toddler? Take your preschooler to the open gym at All About Kids. Here, they can enjoy all the play they want. And hopefully, wear themselves out so they'll be good and ready for an afternoon nap.
Open Gym Day
The entire gym at All About Kids is open to preschoolers only from noon to 1 pm on February 7, plenty of time for them to run from activity to activity. They can jump on trampolines or dive into pits, tumble all over the floor or even swing from a trapeze. There are tree houses to climb and so much fun stuff to play on, they won't know where to run first. There are instructors on hand the whole time, and parent participation is totally encouraged.
After a busy afternoon of play, stop into the Cartwheel Cafe for a bite of lunch before you take a look around the rest of the neighborhood. Preschool Open Gym is for children 5 and younger, and tickets cost $8 per child. All About Kids is at 2531 Blankenbaker Parkway in Jeffersontown. If you're looking for family fun, you're looking in the right neighborhood.
Having Fun in Jeffersontown
All About Kids is surrounded by fun places. Within blocks, you can find Puzzle's Fun Dome, Rocksport Climbing Gym and Sky Zone Trampoline Park. All these family-friendly places host events and activities for kids and their families. J-Town is a very family-oriented neighborhood. It's full of parks, schools and places for them to spend their time. But parents need to have some fun, too. That's why J-Town is also stuffed with shopping and eating choices, along with a few nightspots and plenty of adult gyms. Several large businesses and corporations have office parks in J-Town.
But J-Town wouldn't be a perfect family neighborhood without one very important feature: family homes. There are literally thousands of them here. Drive around the neighborhood to discover many different subdivisions such as Forest Hills, Deer Trace Estates, Plainview and Saratoga Woods. You can find large family homes in brick, stone or siding -- or some with all three -- throughout Jeffersontown. Many of the neighborhoods have contemporary or traditional styling to give them a picture-perfect, picket-fence type of look. In other words, J-Town is full of large family homes with extra bedrooms, lots of square feet and big yards. That's all the stuff that families want. Extra features, like attached garages and custom kitchens, certainly don't hurt at all.
Take your preschooler to the gym, and then treat yourself to a better look at J-Town. You may just find that this neighborhood is just what your family needs.

Circle of affirmation: people gathered in a circle sharing positive, feel good, supportive words. If you've never been in a circle of affirmation, it is one of the most gratifying experiences. And on Thursday, May 11th, Habitat Homeowner Nasra and her family celebrated their home dedication with one large, loving, circle of affirmation, leaving everyone in attendance smiling.
The beautiful Habitat home went from calm and subdued to exciting and exuberant in just a matter of minutes. "This is our home!" one of Nasra's children yelled as they ran past, on their way to explore the bedrooms. The living room quickly filled with guests, including Nasra's family members, Habitat staff, and members from 3Mgives Habitat Project, which was the major sponsor and volunteer group on this home.
Karin O'Connor, a dedications committee member, set the tone of the program speaking about the importance of creating memories with family. Around the room were several types of families. There was Nasra and her relatives, then there was the 3Mgives volunteers who have formed a family after 20 years of building together. Finally, there was the rest of us, gathered to celebrate the accomplishments and efforts of all those involved with this Habitat process. "We're all a family now," said Karin.
Nasra looked around the circle, overcome with gratitude: "Thank you so much to all of you. Without you guys, we couldn't accomplish our goals. Now, they'll remember this home when they go to college."
She smiled at her kids, and gave the all clear for our dedications committee member, Win Curtiss, to take them out to their new backyard to run around.
Rhonda Thorson was the site supervisor on this home, and felt a deep connection with the topic of creating memories with family. "Today's a special day for me. The iris' are in bloom and that flower was my grandma's favorite. Those memories continue to bloom in my yard. I'm excited for you to create memories in this home."
We were happy to have Legislative Aide to Councilmember Dai Thao, Mai Chong Xiong, join the celebration and speak on behalf of the Councilmember Thao. "It's an honor to be a part of this moment. Councilmember Thao really wants to welcome you to the community. Nasra, it took courage to be a leader for your family and make big decisions."
Nasra was an image of strength and hope for her children.
Dan Shapiro is also a member of the 3Mgives Habitat Project and serves on the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity board. "We enjoy working with each other and the homeowners so much. People like you Nasra, that buy these houses, take classes, work so hard; we are inspired by you folks. To you and all the 3M folks-thank you so much."
Lou Cristan, a fellow 3Mgives Habitat Project volunteer, has spent 23 years serving as a volunteer and impacting lives in the community through Habitat. "Family creates opportunities to create dreams. Family is the neutron that brings everything together." Lou emphasized the impact working with other 3M members on Habitat builds has had on him and his years in retirement, "We just love being around each other. We get to experience fellowship together in retirement."
We would like to thank the 3Mgives Habitat Project group for their many volunteer hours, support, and incredible hearts. 3Mgives volunteers have worked on more than 170 Twin Cities Habitat homes over the past two decades, and continue to impact families in the Twin Cities community.
Cathy Lawrence, Twin Cities Habitat's Vice President of Resource Development & Community Engagement said during the program, "Home means to me where my family gathers", and at that beautiful home in St. Paul, a family of many parts gathered and made memories.
Good luck to Nasra and her kind, energetic, compassionate children. We wish you all the best!

The Necessity of Nutrition in Modern Clinical Practice
Patients have changed drastically, even over the last few decades. They are less active and tend to follow a diet of overconsumption and undernutrition. This creates the metabolic dysfunction of Insulin Resistance, Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress that leads to our epidemic of: Obesity, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Diabetes.(1)(2) One out of every two Americans now has or is developing Insulin Resistance, which helps create this metabolic syndrome. This also puts your patients at risk for Chronic Myofascial Pain Disorders.
Complicating all of this, patients are now utilizing a polypharmacy approach to their health; mixing multiple prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs never tested in combination. In one study of the 40 most commonly used prescription and over-the-counter medications, the top three drugs consumed were NSAIDs: Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Aspirin.(3) More than 70 million prescriptions and more than 30 billion over-the-counter tablets of NSAIDs are sold annually in the US. The main driving force for this over-consumption of drugs is the metaboalic dysfunction that leads to recurring pain of the back, neck and extremities.
Millions of Americans are crying out for Healthcare Professionals who can nutritionally treat the causes of their chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders. With the recent FDA warnings concerning NSAID use, and the removal of Vioxx from the market place, Americans with musculoskeletal pain are becoming more anxious and confused. The public is now demanding real answers from knowledgeable doctors on how they can best overcome their chronic pain and prevent degenerative diseases naturally!
To properly adapt to this expanding market, the clinician needs a good understanding of science-based nutritional care. Today's clinician also needs quality nutritional products that treat the underlying metabolic imbalances of Systemic Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance, which can lead to the development of chronic pain and major healthcare problems. To help you achieve these clinical goals, Biospec NutritionalsTM has developed Protocols which utilize healthy diet, exercise and their 'Signature Series' Nutraceuticals. These Protocols, developed specifically for clinician use, may be considered when treating patients.
Dr. Greg Fors, D.C. is the Chief Science Consultant for Biospec Nutritionals, a Board-certified Neurologist (IBCN), certified in Applied Herbal Sciences (NWHSU) and acupuncture. Trained through the Autism Research Institute he is a registered 'Defeat Autism Now!' Doctor.

For the first time in the history of this planet, many are nodding their heads at U.S. President Donald Trump.
The controversial leader is known for making some real out of this world tweets and statements.
Not this time though. This time, he appears to be making sense.
I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019
In a series of tweets, Trump also trailed his virtual guns at Facebook's latest virtual currency, Libra.
Just like his Democratic opponents, Trump emphasized that the currency must be regulated.
…and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019
While Trump's foes might be silently nodding their heads in agreement others, especially those who invest in cryptocurrencies are not pleased.
This is a major mistake on your part and shows a lack of vision!
— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) July 12, 2019
The U.S. dollar's value is also "based on thin air." The gold standard is history. It's called "fiat currency" for a reason.
— Steven Walk (@realStevenWalk) July 12, 2019
Untraceable, physical cash is the best tool for facilitating drug trades and unlawful activities, not a public ledger that records the history of every transaction ever made.
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) July 12, 2019
Hey. I'm basically the only guy in the crypto industry who voted for you (or admits it). Can I convince you otherwise?
— Preston Byrne (@prestonjbyrne) July 12, 2019
You are wrong about this.
Bitcoin is free speech money.
— Gab.com (@getongab) July 12, 2019
There has been a divided opinion among experts, investors and even the public on if it is wise to invest in cryptocurrencies.
I'm not a fan of Bitcoin either, but not because it's unregulated. That is actually one aspect that I like. But you hit the nail on the head with your observation that it has no real value. It's a confidence game, and those who put their faith in it have been conned.
— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 12, 2019
Who wrote this for you?!
It actually makes sense & everything is spelled correctly!

The idea behind new year's resolutions is great. You find a goal, make a plan, and stick to it as a way of kicking off a new year well. Still, 80% of people don't keep their resolution—and that's just by the second week in February.
One of the reasons people don't follow through with their fitness resolutions is that they didn't choose a realistic goal. Set yourself up for success this year—with resolutions you can actually keep.
Top 10 Fitness Resolutions You Can Keep
Most of these ideas are about trying things or committing to something. That's because these sorts of lifestyle changes inspire the kinds of "new" that help you reach great goals like significant weight loss or becoming a bodybuilder.
Make your resolution:
1. Try a new fitness class this year
2. Get to the gym for two hours every week
3. Meet with a personal trainer for a free session
4. Learn the names of 5 people at the gym
5. Eat breakfast daily
6. Choose one fitness weakness to tackle
7. Try a new healthy recipe once a week
8. Commit to making new excuses
9. Plan 3 outdoor excursions that involve exercise this year
10. Bring someone to the gym with you
How to Keep These Realistic Resolutions
Although these resolutions are already realistic, they still won't happen unless you're strategic. Pursuing a goal always takes some commitment, time, and planning. Use these tips to keep these resolutions:
- Make your resolution into a SMART goal
- Add plans for meeting your goal into your schedule (throughout the next year)
- Think of something you can give up/scale back to make time/find the money to reach your goal
- Share your goal with people who will check in, hold you accountable, and encourage you
- Find an app, reminder tool, or another resource to make tracking your goal simpler
How to Get Started on Your Resolutions
Sticking to fitness resolutions is hard if you aren't a part of a gym. At Texas Family Fitness, we have what you need to get started.
You can sign up for a free personal training session (attend and viola- resolution kept!) Or, check out one of our amazing fitness classes (knock out resolutions 1, 2, and 4.)

It's confession time… I used to be a beauty queen. And, even though it was years ago, I'm afraid I've never outgrown my love of sparkly dresses, rhinestone jewelry and makeup, makeup, makeup!
So, when I discovered tmart.com I was like the proverbial "kid in a candy store." tmart.com carries everything from cell phones to apparel. But, what I love best is the mammoth selection of skin care, nail care and (you guessed it!) makeup! 58 types of mascara, 78 brands of eye liner, 110 different eye shadow palettes… it's heaven.
One of my favorite finds is Sweet Color Environmental Protection Nail Polish in sassy red. I was unfamiliar with the brand, but am now a believer. Easily applied (with either natural or artificial nails), the color is rich, glossy and fade-resistant. A high-quality precision brush makes nail art simple and there are hundreds of colors! Retail: $4.53
Another pick is what I call a "glam kit." The package includes 10-color blush palette, 10 pairs of false eyelashes, and an eye liner makeup set!
First, the 10-blusher palette is nothing short of amazing. Blush can be incredibly tricky to get right — what looks fabulous on sun-kissed skin in July tends to turn garish by October. With 10 gorgeous shades from which to choose, you can experiment with different colors and looks without spending a fortune.
Next, if you've never tried false eyelashes, this is the perfect way to experiment. Learning how to apply them takes a bit of effort, but it is well worth the time! And, once you try them, you'll be hooked! False eyelashes are wonderful for volumizing thin lashes or for adding drama to a nighttime look. Best of all, these can be easily removed using regular eye makeup remover.
Last, every girl needs the 2-in-1 Cosmetic Eye Liner Pen + Eyeliner Liquid in her beauty arsenal. Like false eyelashes, liquid eyeliner (a beauty pageant requisite) takes time to master. Luckily, the specially designed tip of the eyeliner helps eyeliner glide on smoothly for the surprisingly precise control. And, the sharp definition you can get is just gorgeous. Waterproof, smudge-resistant, and long-lasting. Retail for entire kit: $11.29
To see more great beauty finds, simply visit t-mart.com and I guarantee you'll be addicted, too! 109 Makeup Tools & Accessories, 71 Lipsticks and Glosses, 286 Makeup Brushes…
Now where did I put that tiara?
While you're here, don't forget to enter our bra-Zing decorative bra strap cover giveaway. Retail $28. Ends 10-31!

And it is in this manner, that Satan, impelled by desires which aim at supreme dominion without the possibility of ever being satisfied, is consumed inwardly and forever by a flame, that can never be extinguished. This, it is true, is not the only source of his misery: but it is a principal one. Desires, therefore, conform in this respect to the universal law, viz. that guilt always brings misery. Have we not, then, sufficient reason for saying, that all irregular and inordinate desires should be especially guarded against?
All irregular and unsanctified desires stand directly in the way of the operations of the Spirit of God upon the soul; the obstacle they present being in proportion to the strength of the desire. God in the person of the Holy Ghost would immediately set up his dominion in all hearts, were it not for the obstacle presented by desires. God loves his creatures. And he wants nothing of us, but that we should remove the obstacles which shut him out of our hearts. It is self evident that desires and purposes of our own, in distinction from God's desires and purposes, inasmuch as they are not in the position of obedience and are not in the line of God's inward movements, are incompatible with his dominion in the soul. If, therefore, we would be without guilt and misery, if we would enjoy renovation and liberty of spirit, and would have God enthroned in our hearts as our king and sovereign, we must cease from desires. That is to say, we must cease from natural or unsanctified desires. We must desire nothing, on the one hand, out of the will of God; and must refuse nothing on the other, that happens to us in conformity to his will. And it is thus and thus only, that God can become to us an indwelling and paramount principle of life and action. Our All in All.

Friday's Activities
The 2nd annual Sport Karate Museum National Pro-Am Championship and Expo was held at the Galleria Hilton on the Southwest Freeway in Houston Texas Friday 10/1/17 and Saturday 10/2/2017. This year's event well was well attended with competitors and dignitaries from all over the country and Texas. The who's who list of VIP's read like a dictionary of modern martial arts history. Authors, grandmasters, world champions, living legends and great competition were just a taste of what the Expo had to offer.
The head general of the Sports Karate Museum is Gary Lee. He is the chief executive officer of the museum. Through his original vision of the future of martial arts a new understanding of who we are has evolved. Great competitors and famous people are remembered and eulogies to those who competed and many who are no longer with us. This is only part of the mission. For all intense purposes this may be the only remembrance of the people who have given so much to Sport Karate and others who without this vestige of the past, will be forgotten by time. It is important to donate and support the Sport Karate Museum's activities to maintain its function as the only living record of our deeds.
Consider that all noble endeavors don't come cheaply because if they did anyone could do them. During the last several years many have attended the expo and came away with a renewed feeling of self as well as enjoyed the fellowship of other great martial artist. Gary Lee and his supporters are to be commended for their hard work in making this event a success.
Friday's daytime events were dedicated to seminars and testing of individuals for high rank levels. Among the great masters there giving seminars were Dale Kirby best known as the author of several books and a grand master of Japanese swordsmanship. Troy Dorsey, Ishmael Robles and Jimmy Tabares tested for highest black belt ranks with legendary Grand Master Pat Burleson heading up a Grand Sokeship council of prominent masters and grand masters from all over the country.
Saturdays Event
Bubble wrap competition headed up the Saturday activities a number junior divisions were up for competition in the expo. A number adult divisions were ran culminating in the grand showdown eliminations for the "Kata Wars". Great competitors from around the country were present. A mention of two past competitors and world champions is needed. Rommel Gargoles and Bear Loebe were unable to compete. Rommel injured his knee at the China Gold acrobatic show and Bear Loebe lost his school from Hurricane Harvey and is spending his time and effort in reconstituting his school.
After an intense competition from world champions Carol Parenti, David Johnson, Dean Pyles, Lonnie Walker, Donnie Lee, Cindy Key, Robert Hartfield, Dr Kamrun Jenabzadeh, Garett Lee and Tracy Armstead the top five finalists were chosen. Johnnie Murphy winner of last year's Kata Wars and runner up from last year, Clarissa Villanueva, were automatically seeded for two slots in the nighttime banquet and Kata Wars finals and as such did not have to do the run offs. This basically finalized the Saturday daytime events. On a special note, Johnnie Murphy had competed earlier in the day at Wayne Nguyen's Ocean Nationals Karate Tournament in Galveston Texas, won the three divisions he entered including adult 18 and over weapons, and then rushed back to Houston to compete at the Kata Wars.
Saturday Nights Banquet and Roast
The night time banquet hall was well attended. The ballroom ended up packed. A mention of some of the dignitaries attending is needed because of their status and a show of respect. They were Pat Burleson, Jim Harrison, Linda Denley, Daryl Steward, Dale Kirby, Jerry Pennington, Troy Dorsey, Ismael Robles, Al Garza, Jimmy Tabares, Zip White, Jim Butin, George and Chris Minshew, Randy Dugas, Jim Paskey," Rooster" David Lableu, Drew Arthur, Norman Roberts and a long list of other VIP champions and Grand Masters.
Now a Roast of George Minshew was one of the top attractions at the banquet. A number of individuals rose to give George a few new to things to think about or not to think about. There were some laughs at George's expense but George is tough and took it in stride. After a bunch of comical and informative comments by the crew and a very funny video about George's childhood and early years it was Georges turn.
We know George already knows everything because he's been around a long long time so an amazing dissertation on a bunch meaningless thoughts and stories was forced upon us. I will admit some of us were laughing hard due to the well put punch lines. Chris Minshew sat in awe of her husband's ability to stand up in front of the banquet hall and spout off such artistic baloney and ridiculousness. Fortunately, for George she was smiling and a couple of laughs appeared from her so I guess George didn't have to worry about sleeping on the couch that night or get a severe beating from the former multiple women's fighting world champion for incurring any kind of public humiliation. Personally I think she can take him but that's neither here nor there. I can only say George should have been a comedian.
The Showdown
After a million awards were given out and all the booze at the bar was polished off the Kata Wars finals were ran. Johnnie Murphy, David Johnson, Clarissa Villanueva, Dean Pile and Dr Kamrun Jenabzadeh lined up to finalize the nights activities. The order was established by luck of the draw.
First up was Dean Pyles who recently appeared on America's most talented with his daughter. He ran a great combo Bo and Sword creative musical kata. Next was Clarissa Villanueva who ran an amazing Go Pai Sho traditional Japanese kata. Third up was Dr Kamrun Jenabzadeh and he ran TetSu a favorite Japanese kata of Gary Lee. David Johnson showed up in a mask and ran his fast creative musical bo kata. Last up was Johnnie Murphy. Mr. Murphy calmly walked out and announced his form then proceeded to captivate the audience and the judges with a powerful fast and dynamic Japanese style creative sword kata complete with jump spins that landed to cuts. The judge's favorite was last year's champion and for a second year Johnnie Murphy pulled off the win. Prizes included a beautiful Kata Wars trophy cup, a new high end heavy weight karate uniform, a stunning watch, a bouquet wicker carrier with three bottles of rare micro-brewery beer and of course…cash. Wow what a haul and winning at two tournaments in two different cities in one day. Congratulations to Johnnie Murphy on his/my win… Lol.

Mrs. Bannister, and her husband George, looked over the Corner Shop when Alf and Renee Roberts decided to sell up in July 1980. Mrs. Bannister inspected the shop at length, wearying the Roberts with her non-stop chatter about virtually everything and ignoring her hen-pecked husband's attempts to usher her along. George had just been made redundant and they were using his redundancy money to buy a shop - they'd looked over a few others including one which looked like "Aladdin's cave gone mouldy". Even though she never seemed to stop talking, Mrs. Bannister was muted in her feedback about the shop's suitability. The Roberts were relieved when they finally left, with Renee remarking that Mrs. Bannister had Hilda Ogden beat when it came to yakking.
The Bannisters agreed to buy the shop for £15,000, £1,000 less than the asking price, but Alf pulled out of the sale when Renee was killed in a car accident.

Wikileaks, The People
[ Comments Off ]Posted on March 12, 2011 by admin in Lifestyle & CultureSaturday, March 12th, 2011
In an era of civil unrest driven by injustice and anonymous activism, you may already be a part of the revolution and just not realize it.
This image makes more sense
when you see the whole thing.
I find it interesting that the media forces behind the political movement in America that fancies itself to be somehow modeled after the protests of the Boston Tea Party are amongst the loudest voices proclaiming that the teachers, fireman, police officers and others who are protesting to protect the livelihood of the working class in Wisconsin are "rabid mobs of criminals and thugs". I also find it interesting that in spite of plans for a "day of rage", the Saudi Arabian monarchy managed to prove once again that the best way to oppress people is to tell them that God wants it that way. And in efforts to squelch information elsewhere, it's likely that the appeal by the lawyers of Wikileaks' Julian Assange will fail, and he will be extradited to Sweden, and later be snagged by the US government, in keeping with the Swedish government's previous complicity in US-organized rendition and torture. One minor problem the US government may face is where to torture people like Assange now; the Egyptian protesters seem to have breached their favorite destination for torture. Not to worry though, they can just stick him naked in a cell with Bradley Manning if they have to, right? But these are interesting times, and I don't think that these conventional methods are going to stop the slowly growing sense of injustice that's spreading around the world. It's becoming difficult to even keep track of where exactly the unrest is; this CNN summary covers much of the Mideast, but almost no media sources are talking about what's happening in Portugal for instance. And aside from the public protests, there's another interesting movement afoot. One that will be very difficult to target as an "enemy", because it has no body, no face, no singular agenda, and no headquarters. I'm not only talking about hacktivists like Wikileaks and Anonymous. I'm talking about people like me, and maybe you. People who have enough common sense to realize that in almost every country in the world, the concern for collective well-being is no longer about which political party is in office, but which corporations own them. Hacktivists will obviously play a role for a while, but in an environment of protests, whistleblowing, and crackdowns against them, it will be hard to keep the facts straight. One recent example of this was when, in an hilarious variation on the ancient adage "if you meet the buddha on the road, kill him", the American media was hoodwinked in a huge way about the nature of the amorphous internet group Anonymous. MSNBC recently interviewed a fellow who claims to be a "senior strategist and propagandist" for Anonymous, and even tech blogs like this one took the bait and ran with it. People seem to just eat this stuff up; one of the few sources you'll find that questions the likely fallacy of this fellow's claims is TheOtherMcCain.com. It doesn't take a genius to piece together that a group of extremely intelligent anarchistic programmers probably doesn't send their chain-smoking general to lay out their agenda on MSNBC. Another example is a recent Gawker piece that asks What Does Anonymous Have on Bank of America?, and then goes on to basically say "nothing". But that you should watch for that nothing this coming Monday. Careful Gawker, remember what happened last time you got Anonymous pissed off. But I personally expect to see more unrest, and to see it fueled by the kind of leaks that can only happen via the internet. Regardless of whether you approve of the specific actions of groups like Anonymous or Wikileaks, or individuals like Bradley Manning, they're going to affect you. It may be impossible to intentionally engineer a bankrun, but the seed gets planted in the mind, and when the dirt comes out on a politician like Scott Walker in Wisconsin, we'll see more events like the bankrun by Wisconsin fireman against M&I. Anonymous may be more on the mark than we think with the slogan "none of us is as cruel as all of us". Read the rest of this entry »
Media Whore Smackdown: WikiLeaks vs OpenLeaks vs HBGary vs Anonymous
[ 1 Comment ]Posted on February 10, 2011 by admin in Popular MediaThursday, February 10th, 2011
vs Joe Lieberman vs Amazon vs PayPal vs The Banks vs… aw, never mind. In the end, the big star of this international cyberdrama is someone who doesn't even have a HEAD.
Before attempting to bring someone to
their knees, you might take note of
whether or not they have a head.
I am a comment-trolling, link-baiting attention whore. Just thought I'd get that out of the way, lest you get the impression that the pot doesn't know that it's black. That being said, could someone please step into the kitchen and pop up some popcorn? I'm afraid that if I step away from the computer for a moment, I'll miss something, and won't be able to figure out who the villains and heroes are in the continually unfolding drama that began with WikiLeaks' bold venture into international whistleblowing. By now we all know the smug, squinty-eyed face of the fellow named Julian Assange. He calls himself a journalist and author. Some people have other labels for him, like traitor, international security threat, or rapist. Or cat abuser. But regardless of whether you admire him, think he should die, or something in between, it's hard to ignore the fact that he's something of an egotistical attention whore. My personal opinion is that I can put up with that, provided it doesn't destroy the positive aspect of his pursuits, which is the revelation of truths that the powerful think should remain secret. Because knowledge is indeed power, and when people who lust mostly for power try to sequester knowledge, you get things like a Nazi Party. Or a Kremlin. Or perhaps the Washington DC of the near future, if we're not vigilant. Originally the only real star of the WikiLeaks Show, we questioned back in December whether Assange could handle the celebrity. This has become less of an issue, because if you've stayed tuned in, you know the show has come to rely on more of an ensemble cast. While big names like Lieberman, MasterCard, Amazon, and B-listers like Glenn Greenwald and Michael Moore had some interesting walk-ons, it was the relatively unknown Anonymous, from….well hell, we don't know WHERE Anonymous is from, do we? In any case, in a surprise Oscar-worthy performance, it was Anonymous that became the hot new name in LeakyWood. First by taking down has-beens and also-rans like MasterCard/Visa, Joe Lieberman, the Swedish Prosecution Authority, PayPal and Amazon in defense of WikiLeaks, and more recently by taking down Aaron Barr and HBGary Federal (here's a screen grab of HBGary's site after Anonymous had hacked it), mostly because, well, Aaron Barr was a self-impressed dimwit who thought he could make a bunch of money with your tax dollars by partnering with banks and the US government in a secret plan to kill Wikileaks with FUD, and gain a lot of fame for bringing Anonymous to its knees. He really should have pondered whether Anonymous even has knees, I mean, the fact that they don't have a head should be a bit of a warning sign. If you've been too busy following tweets about the block parties in the Middle East, or fretting over whether Lindsay Lohan's dress was appropriate attire for pleading not-guilty on felony charges, you may have missed the latest episode of the WikiLeaks Show, which really was less about WikiLeaks, and more about the ignorant bravado of the CEO of a "security firm" (now there's a double misnomer for you) who claimed that he was going to make Anonymous less anonymous. Well, that didn't turn out very well, now did it, Mr Barr? Count me as one of the more enthusiastic new members of the Anonymous Fan Club. And I'm not just saying that because I know they could take down my site and the hosting company that hosts it with a few keystrokes and perhaps a little social engineering, but because they're the only actors in this epic drama that can use the term "bitchslap" and still manage to keep it classy. After turning Aaron Barr out on the street like the bum that he seems to be, they called off the dogs when he started crying like a baby, and as his former employers tried to wave the white flag by patronizing them in chat rooms ("Penny" starts in around line 520), the only demand they made was "hey, why don't you donate a month's salary to Bradley Manning's defense fund?" Nice touch, Anonymous. Oh. Did we forget to mention? Michael Moore may be connected with an Assange movie, and *yawns* where were we? Oh yeah. That former WikiLeaks guy whose name we can't remem z-z-z-z-z-z….wha? OH! Sorry. Dozed off for a second. That other WikiLeaks guy whose name we can never remember is releasing a tell-all book called Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website, due for release February 15. He's already spilling all the beans about what a loser and a liar Assange is on Wired. Who knows if he'll get any screen time; there's not a lot of room left in this show for another sub-plot. Book plug below, followed by the trailer for the movie Revolution Truth. Which Michael Moore and Julian Assange aren't involved in the production of, even though their names are dropped in all the press about.

WikiLeaks & The Perilous Celebrity Of Julian Assange
[ 2 Comments ]Posted on December 24, 2010 by admin in Editorial & OpinionFriday, December 24th, 2010
In a world that seems more interested in personalities than possibilities, it's hard to say which way Julian Assange's fame will go, but WikiLeaks has at least inspired a movement amongst the digital natives. And Assange has been immortalized in silly Flash games.
Probably one of the most interesting things that happened this year is that in spite of the fact that an organization called Wikileaks helped release an appalling video that showed the US military killing innocent civilians and Reuters journalists, as well as thousands of diplomatic cables that exposed the vile and deceitful nature of international relations, in the end, what we've ended up talking about most is the narcissistic Australian hacktivist that headed the organization. And of course the fact that in spite of the recent repeal of the US military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, they're pretty emphatic about the "don't tell" concept. At least in the case of Bradley Manning, who remains in what many human rights organizations consider inhumane confinement. Admittedly – as the AP pointed out early on – "none of the revelations is particularly explosive" in the CableGate files. That is, until the exposed parties react, and the media broadcasts the reaction. And then, suddenly all of those "not explosive" revelations become matters that threaten the national security of virtually every nation on Earth. Which is interesting, because I'd be willing to bet that you can't name even three or four of the key "revelations" in the documents. The Telegraph has a longer timeline of WikiLeaks releases here, and Salon has a roundup of the CableGate highlights here to refresh your memory. You'll note that most of the CableGate "revelations" have to do with bruised egos, name-calling, and distrustful relationships in global politics, not Earth-shattering secrets. So why is this Julian Assange guy being painted as some kind of international terrorist? Because unlike conventional celebrity gossip, political celebrity gossip is attached to true greed for power, not just a greed for being liked, and can literally be a fight to the death. Which is why – as I've said before – let's keep talking about Julian Assange. Maybe his celebrity will help bring a much needed jolt to journalistic methods, and truth will have some hope through "scientific journalism". If you've only been following major media sources or partisan political bloggers for info, one of the more insightful pieces about Assange you'll find is this one by Bruce Sterling, the novelist who wrote about Assange's brand of "cypherpunk" decades ago, before this kind of activity was even technologically possible. And equally telling is Assange's lawyers' reaction to the Guardian's leak of the details of the rape accusations against him. It remains to be seen if Assange can keep anything like an air of professional integrity intact as his unsavory celebrity continues, which it almost certainly will. A Swedish documentary called "WikiRebels" was recently made available on line (also below), and more details of his background will become more commonly known as the sensationalism ebbs a little and conventional news sources either need filler for stories or ways to distance themselves if the US government gets more ruthless in attempting to discredit or silence Assange. But for now, there's at least a small international movement amongst the digital native generation that will keep the WikiLeaks vision alive, and not just the more volatile hacker groups that have attacked the websites of Visa, Amazon, Paypal, and others. Which, by the way, is considered by some to be a legitimate form of expressing dissent. And although rabid conservative bloggers are saying Obama dropped the ball by not shutting WikiLeaks down preemptively, many would say that Obama actually dropped the ball by not supporting the transparency he promised in his campaign. As is pointed out with humor in this Flash based game. And that is probably one of the surest signs one has achieved celebrity, to be immortalized in Flash games. Here's another. Both are embedded below. What we need now is a WikiLeaks reality show to compete in Sarah Palin's time slot.

Sick Of Hearing About Julian Assange & WikiLeaks?
[ 1 Comment ]Posted on December 14, 2010 by admin in Editorial & OpinionTuesday, December 14th, 2010
So let's move on then, and talk about OpenLeaks, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Bradley Manning, and the future of truth, journalism, and democracy.
Kudos to Time magazine for featuring Julian Assange on their cover with an American flag gagging him. And kudos to their readers for voting Assange person of the year. Not because I think he's some kind of hero. Hell, I don't know; under various countries' laws he's probably a criminal of some kind or another. In fact, early on, I jokingly suggested that WikiLeaks was a disinformation machine set up by the US government. But if Assange gets thrown under the bus by the British and Swedish legal systems and ends up being "extraordinarily rendered" by US intelligence, the greatest tragedy would not be Assange's personal demise, it would be if we all forgot about the principle behind what he was doing and returned to pointlessly quibbling about the latest partisan political folly of the week. So I hope conservatives everywhere smolder about Michael Moore's self-satisfied support of Assange. And I hope liberals have hernias about Sarah Palin suggesting he should be hunted down like Osama Bin Laden. And I hope Vladimir Putin keeps making jabs at our sham democracy with barbs like "So, you know, as they say in the countryside, some people's cows can moo, but yours should keep quiet". And I hope women like Sady Doyle keep convicting him without a trial. And I hope pseudonymous misogynist bloggers like "Ferdinand Bardamu" keep dialing up the outrage on the other side by revealing the identities and addresses of the accusers. And I hope the former WikiLeakers who are organizing OpenLeaks keep dissing Assange to get press for their new venture. And I hope bloggers like Gene Lalor keep fretting that Bradley Manning is a homosexual traitor. And I hope that bleeding heart liberal intellectuals in Berkeley erect a statue in his honor. And I hope Daniel Ellsberg keeps pointing out that his experience with the Pentagon Papers was identical to the WikiLeaks debacle. Because in the end, there's some nebulous hope that by keeping the dialog about the broader issue alive, more people will realize that the real issue is truth, and possessing the integrity to speak it. It may have taken some personally flawed personalities to do it, but the big filthy satchel of lies has been dumped on the ground. Let's look at the contents before we decide whom to lynch.

Whistleblowing For Fun & Profit: Bradley Manning Will Enjoy Neither
[ Comments Off ]Posted on December 11, 2010 by admin in Lifestyle & CultureSaturday, December 11th, 2010
As George Bernard Shaw pointed out, you should never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. To get the truth out these days, it seems like everyone involved has to be the kind of person you wouldn't want dating your sister.
We're probably all getting a little WikiWeary, with WikiLeaks and Julian Assange dominating the news cycle for the last few weeks. Which is probably a good thing, because as Assange gets all the credit for exposing the corruption of governments worldwide, and hacktivists around the world rise to defend him, the guy who REALLY exposed the corruption is rotting in jail, largely forgotten. So what about Private First Class Bradley Manning? Is he a hero? A traitor? In the increasingly less-nuanced views of our time, there seems to be little middle ground on this topic. My personal views are mixed. I have a pretty strong sense of honor, and this man was a soldier. In my eyes, his method of releasing classified information clearly violated the guidelines of his command structure. But on the other hand, his command structure has violated its own sense of honor, from the Abu Ghraib scandal to the Collateral Murder video that was the first of Manning's leaks to be released. And frankly, the fact that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld intentionally blew the cover of Abu Ghraib whistleblower Joe Darby doesn't bode well for the US Military's Whistleblower Program. Historically of course, doing the right thing has to be its own reward. Although Daniel Ellsberg is regarded as a hero of sorts for the Pentagon Papers, you've probably entirely forgotten Jeffrey Wigand of the Brown & Williamson 'impact boosting' scandal that cost the tobacco industry billions in headaches. And although there's a good chance you know Karen Silkwood's name, she probably died for her efforts. And I personally had never even heard of Wendell Potter, the former insurance industry executive who exposed many of the industry's deceptive practices, and has recently come out in defense of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, asserting that the private sector attacks on WikiLeaks set a scary precedent. Things look a little dismal all around for truth; sadly, the president that campaigned on transparency in government is being even harder on whistleblowers than the Bush administration. So no, there's probably not much glory awaiting Bradley Manning, unless they're stupid enough to martyr him with execution, as many are suggesting. And the rat that ratted out Manning? If you have the time, Glenn Greenwald has a lengthy piece on Salon trying to sort out the convoluted trail of Adrian Lamo, the convicted hacker turned government informant in whom Manning confided. Lamo has a pretty sordid history himself, and when you read about how he works, and his recent push for a heavier hand with WikiLeaks, you get a strong sense that he blew Manning's cover more out of self-interested ass-covering than out of some sense of reluctantly doing what was right, as he typically tries to play it all off. So the next time you're thinking about blowing open that international scandal at work, make sure you sell out properly and get your millions. Basic honesty seems to lead to jail. Or death. And as Adrian Lamo shows us, your reward will have less to do with human decency than your desire to profit.

hello min, can you tell me how good the subtitles are in this set? thanks.

The subtitle was not good as I noticed a lot of mistakes [incorrect spelling and bad grammar] with the Malaysia releases. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other edition that contains English subtitle. I wish Japan would release them with English subtitle as they do a better job from its origin.

(Crain's) -- A construction wave coupled with 11.2% unemployment would normally make life miserable for apartment owners, but downtown landlords are holding up surprisingly well.
Rents up at downtown apartments for first time in 2 years
The occupancy rate for top-tier downtown apartment buildings rose to 93.6% in the first quarter, up from 91.4% in the fourth quarter and 90.9% in the year-earlier period, according to Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago-based consulting firm.
Including concessions like free rent, net rents at Class A buildings rose to $2.16 a square foot, up 3.9% from $2.08 in the fourth quarter and 1.9% from $2.12 in first-quarter 2009. It was the first year-over-year rent increase in two years.
"There's just huge demand for rental product downtown right now, and owners have been quick to capitalize on it," says Appraisal Research Vice-President Ron DeVries.
Apartment demand is usually low when unemployment is high, as would-be tenants try to save money by doubling up or living with their parents. But that's not the case downtown, where many prospective condominium buyers are renting as they wait out the depressed condominium market.
"They're not convinced that the market has bottomed out on the ownership side," Mr. DeVries says.
That helps explain why a much-feared surge in apartment supply so far has not kept occupancies and rents from rising.
Developers have added 4,077 units to the downtown market since the beginning of 2008 and will complete another 799 by the end of the year, according to Appraisal Research.
"Six months ago all of us were nervous," says Steven Fifield, president of Chicago-based Fifield Cos., the developer of Alta at K Station, a new two-tower, 848-unit apartment project at 555 W. Kinzie St. in the West Loop.
The nerves have given way to relief. Fifield estimated it would lease about 10 units a week at Alta's 420-unit west tower, which opened March 1. Instead, Alta is averaging more than 20 and the west tower is already 50% leased, Mr. Fifield says.
"The supply is getting absorbed substantially faster than I expected," he says.
One key measure of demand is rising at its fastest pace of the past 10 years. The number of occupied downtown apartments rose by 2,190 units from first-quarter 2009 to first-quarter 2010, the biggest annual gain of the last decade, according to Appraisal Research.
By contrast, the number of occupied apartments fell in the last recession by more than 1,400 units.
Granted, developers are offering good deals to attract tenants, in many cases as much as two months of free rent. As a result, developers are collecting lower net rents than they projected when they broke ground, before the jobless rate soared.
And while downtown Class A net rents are rising again, they have fallen more in the current recession than they did in the last one. Net rents declined 13% from their peak in the third-quarter 2007 to their low of $2.08 a square foot in fourth-quarter 2009, according to Appraisal Research. They fell 12.4% in the prior recession.
Still, given how strong demand is, Mr. DeVries expects net rents to rise about 4% this year and occupancy to hit 95%.
"Once those jobs do start coming back, it will be fascinating to see what happens with rents," he says.
If there is one spot where oversupply is a concern, it's in the South Loop, where new construction and competition from condo rentals is depressing rents.
"There's been a bit of divide in the market," Mr. DeVries says.
But optimism is returning, with some developers already laying the groundwork for the new round of construction.
They are looking forward to 2012, when the economy is stronger and the market has had time to absorb the supply from the current development wave. After completing 2,234 units this year, downtown developers will finish none in 2011.
"There's a lot of people talking now and trying to work up numbers for a new rental building," Mr. DeVries says.

As per the International Energy Agency (IEA) it is expected that the demand for electricity will increase by 70% by 2040 due to excessive demand in emerging economies such as China, India, Africa, Middle East and South-East Asia. From the different renewable sources of energy, wind energy is the most efficient form of energy and windmills are installed in wind farms to generate electricity. These farms are of two types onshore that is on land and offshore that is the sea or in rivers. Offshore farms are considered better as extra land is not required to develop the wind farms. The offshore wind energy market is expected to grow from $24,544.8 million in the year 2018 to $50,450.9 million by 2023 at a CAGR of 15.5% from 2018 to 2023.
The global offshore wind energy market in terms of installed capacity registered 18,221MW in 2017 and is expected to reach 55,835MW by 2023 growing at a CAGR 0f 21.0% from 2018 to 2023. The growth in the market is attributed to the increasing demand for clean resources for power generation in the energy and sustainability industry. Factors that are likely to drive the market include the rising demand for renewable energy sources, increasing investments energy sector by several companies and governments of different countries and conscious initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint. However, high cost of maintenance can inhibit the growth of the market.
Further, as per the BIS Research report, for the study of the global offshore wind energy market it was segment based on component, location, regional markets. Based on the trends the market varies across geographical regions. It is noted that the region of Asia-Pacific has a lot of potential for the wind energy, however, availability of the land is an inhibiting factor, thus they are centering the focus of research and development and in offshore wind energy for power generation.
