How to satisfy today's sweet tooth
Sure they still buy sweets on impulse in order to treat themselves, but consumers are thinking a lot more about the candy they choose.
Informed, label-savvy shoppers pose some challenges for the category, according to consumer market researcher Packaged Facts in its February report, "U.S. Food Market Outlook, 2018."
They are thinking more about eating healthfully, the impact of sugar consumption on rising rates of diabetes and childhood obesity and the sustainability of cocoa farming, Packaged Facts reports. Additionally, shifts in shopping behavior such as self-checkout and online purchasing threaten to decrease the impulse purchases that drive a high level of chocolate sales.
On the bright side, the chocolate market is "dynamic" … with a strong pace of innovation, an influx of creative new players and a steady flow of new products that engage consumers," the report says. Because consumers love candy and consider it an accessible luxury, this creates the opportunity to trade them up to premium products, the report adds.
Focus on creating unique and novel flavors and textures; healthier, more nutritious products that taste great; and premium confections (the fastest-growing segment) to boost the category, Packaged Facts advises.
"We continue to see substantial strength in the category, as well as in trends [toward] health and wellness. Consumers want to eat as healthfully as possible, but also want to indulge themselves," notes Barry Rosenbaum, president of Nassau Candy in Hicksville, N.Y.
Make it special
The focus for growth in the private brand confectionery sector continues to be on innovation, says Christopher Ratliff, vice president of sales and marketing for Seattle Gourmet Foods in Tukwila, Wash. "Oftentimes, it's as simple as taking an established top seller and looking for ways to refresh the product and make it new again," he says.
To maintain mass appeal and repeat business, innovation has to walk the fine line of bringing something new to the market without straying too far from the products and flavor profiles that have the most familiarity and popularity, Ratliff adds.
Another path to growth lies in encouraging consumers to refine their tastes and trade up to more sophisticated products by training them to taste and appreciate chocolate flavors, origins, inclusions and formats, says Giovanni Sala, marketing director for Agostoni Chocolate, headquartered in Lecco, Italy, with offices in Los Angeles.
Single-origin, organic chocolate with high levels of cocoa solids and sustainable certifications appeal to consumers, Sala says. Focus on packaging and product formats that are easily consumed on-the-go with reasonable calorie counts and be mindful of affordable price points, Sala advises.
Consumer preferences are evolving and retailers are responding, says Darin Ciavarella, cocoa and chocolate retail channel lead for Cargill in Minneapolis.
Consumers are choosing unique flavors, colors and forms of chocolate that are more premium, as evidenced by the increasing popularity of dark chocolate and rising interest in cacao content, Ciavorella adds.
Push the better-for-you button
There's a marriage between what has been identified as healthy with chocolate, Rosenbaum notes, adding that nutmeat, ginger and banana inclusions are hot trends. It's equally important to remove ingredients that have been identified as not as healthy, like palm oil, and avoiding artificial flavors and colors as much as possible, Rosenbaum says.
Use better-for-you callouts on confections, such as non-GMO, no artificial colors or flavors, vegan, fair trade, lower sugar and no trans fats, advises Janet Sconza Angers, director of marketing for Sconza Candy in Oakdale, Calif.
"Healthier options and snackable products have been driving category growth, and I expect this will continue to be a primary direction in the next year as well," Angers says. "Consumers are more focused on healthy choices and must fit smaller meals or snacks into a busy lifestyle."
Ratliff says the better-for-you approach and clean label continues to be at the forefront of discussions in the chocolate and candy segment.
"I'm almost hesitant to call this a trend, as it's more of a paradigm shift," he adds. "The elimination of artificial colors and flavors, along with simplified ingredients, are the easiest ways to take an indulgence and still show the modern consumer changes that meet their changing core values. Also, the move to smaller, single-serve pack sizes continues to be prevalent as consumers focus on getting their treats, but controlling the portions that they enjoy on a day-to-day basis."
Consumers pay attention to labels, even in the sweet space, Ciavarella agrees. And demand for sustainably sourced cocoa and chocolate is also rising, Ciavarella adds, driven by a growing number of mindful consumers who are interested in knowing how their food is sourced and prefer to purchase products that align with their ethical values.
Organic, sustainable and fair business models are not just "nice to have" for companies, but are now a requirement and a standard requested by more and more American consumers, Sala says. Corporate transparency will be a key factor in retaining brand awareness, he adds.
"Lastly, a specific attention to sugar values in confectionary products is well-spread in northern Europe and [is expected to] become more evident [in the U.S.] in the next few years," Sala says. "The main issue is to reduce sugar consumption and to identify some different ingredients to be used, [such as] stevia, coconut sugar or malthitol."
Get creative
"We believe flavor innovation will continue to be highly important in the coming years," Ciavarella says. "From creative twists on classics to globally inspired exotic flavors, segments such as bean to bar chocolate have paved the way in making flavor creativity in the chocolate category the norm. Nothing seems to be off limits. We anticipate retailers will look to integrate some of the most beloved flavor trends into their offerings."
Innovation and exclusivity are really the two key ways for a private brand to separate itself from the mainstream brands that consumers expect to see when they pay a visit to the candy aisle," Ratliff says.
"Because there is such an overwhelming level of familiarity with legacy brands found in every class of trade, the only way for a private brand to stand out is to be something that is new and different," he adds. "And the exclusivity factor is an important method to help establish both differentiation and loyalty to the private brands on the shelf."
Private brands are experiencing great success with consumers who are less loyal to national brands, Angers notes. "The days of offering only me-too products in this arena are over," she adds. "Consumers expect store brand confectionery offerings to include items that are unique, exciting and on-trend. Store brand buyers are focused on these areas with manufacturing partners."

Read on how to enrich your life by purpose, i.e. to find depth and, a reason to get out of bed each morning, your own Ikigai.
The battle with acne is more about the inner journey, while the medicines, creams, or homemade remedies try handling the external one.
The title may have brought many of you to read through for some solutions for acne. I suffered a lot from acne growing up. And I have come miles with it. Achieving peace with it comes after the terrible test of self-esteem one is subjected to.
So here's the story. Every outburst of acne I faced, brought a prayer, for it to be the last one. But each attack put me through this cycle of stress, where the stress about stress took over, and the acne moved from a mere outbreak to chronic cycle.
I was a teenager, away from home, staying in a hostel, when I met with this big acne problem. Home-sickness became the smaller problem. The severe acne set me apart from my peers, and completely decimated my self-esteem. A roommate of mine during that time, remarked on my miniscule chances of dating owing to the oozing pimples all over my face.I felt very small. I would stay in bed, not able to face the world, with not even enough courage to see myself in the mirror.
Gradually, though, as I got used to them, my acne became a conversation starter for strangers. Visit to the departmental stores certainly turned out to be interesting. It is amazing how much of the economy thrives on your desire to be that spotless face.
I was, of course, deeply concerned with what it did to my physical appearance, but more importantly, I what perturbed me was the damage to my mind, making me realize that I did not want my acne to define me. This realization was not overnight, but an outcome of the immense support extended by family and friends and the lessons we learn as we grow to adulthood.
I still have acne, and they have left me with scars on my face growing up, But they no longer affect me the way they did when younger. I recently gave a piece of my mind to a salon attendant who recommended a 50,000 laser surgery for my scars saying ,"Thou shall see my scars and know that I have healed."
To all those girls who had this journey: accept a more inclusive definition of beauty. Do not stop at fairness and flawless skin, but the beautiful face with scars and a 100 watt confidence.
You are adorable with the smile with that beautiful soul radiating through your face.

Зачем американскому туристу ехать в Россию?
In the middle of the night, after editing photos from Suzdal, I was plagued by the question - "why should an American tourist visit Russia?" What is unique or especially attractive about the country that justifies sitting on a plane for 10 - 13 hours to reach the other side of the world to see it? What does Russia have that we can't see in the USA? I've already stated why I like the country numerous times in this blog, but most ordinary vacationers aren't interested in psychological studies of a culture or its people. They work hard all year, and simply want to escape to a relaxing place with their spouse and children. In most Russian cities, the tourist attractions are the same - church, church, and more onion domed churches, coupled with an old Kremlin. Unless you're extremely religious, or a fan of architecture, these scenes grow boring and monotonous after a few days. The same can be said for the winter landscapes - snow, ice, and horrible walking conditions almost everywhere. Such scenes aren't appealing to the vast majority of humanity.
To me, the most unique thing in Russia is the amazing Lake Baikal (especially when it's frozen!), but even this location is difficult and expensive to reach. So, tell me, why should an American visit your country? What do you think is Russia's most appealing tourist sight for foreigners? I want to send your answers to some of my friends. Perhaps you can convince one of them to accompany me on my next journey to the country, because so far I've failed miserably in this mission.

Most of us still remember an old Astroturf, which in the last decade became the thing of the past. Today, artificial grass technology offers invisible to an eye imitation of natural grass. Most of these advancements are deeply rooted in the synthetic fiber manufacturing process. The departure from flat, smooth turf fibers didn't happen overnight, but over the years, various shapes of synthetic fiber were introduced to the market. The shape of fibers is more than a visual appeal; it offers different benefits like durability, resistance to wear and tear, and also thermodynamic properties.
Double W Shape fiber is the latest advancement in the synthetic turf industry that has been seen in decades. The design goal behind these thicker, curved filaments is to keep them upright, ensuring predictable performance and extraordinary durability and appearance.
The three veins of the Double W shaped grass blades create a realistic look to such an exceptional degree that a human eye cannot see the difference between a natural and artificial lawn. The waving surface of each blade diffuses sunlight, reducing the possibility of an unnatural, white-glass plastic appearance. Durability is another advantage. Highly durable under constant pressure, these fibers projected over twenty years life expectancy and recommended for high-traffic areas. Due to its light diffusing characteristics, an artificial grass with Double W-shaped blades carries away more heat energy, which prevents lawns from overheating during the hottest summer days.
A Global Syn-Turf exclusively designed four-color multi-bladed synthetic turf, Super Natural-80 offers remarkable realism. This premium product features vibrant color schemes, combined with top quality materials with dense structure.Global Syn-Turf
Four-color multi-blade synthetic turf, Super Natural-60 offers remarkable realism. This premium product features vibrant color schemes to choose from, combined with high-quality, dense construction.Global Syn-Turf
Rich and luxurious turf that creates a beautiful realistic looking plush lawn. Light and heat are diffused through the specialized curves of the blade making it ideal for regions with extreme weather conditions.Global Syn-Turf
Global Syn-Turf, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and wholesaler of high-quality artificial grass in the United States and Canada. The company offers an extensive selection of products for commercial and residential landscapes, playgrounds, sports athletic fields, municipalities, golf putting greens and pet areas. Global Syn-Turf, Inc. provides innovative, environmentally friendly synthetic turf systems which require little maintenance, no water, pesticides, or fertilizers through multiple company-owned distribution centers across the United States. The state-of-the-art artificial grass offers realism, drainage, performance, safety, and durability. Global Syn-Turf is the exclusive artificial grass partner of San Francisco 49ers.

John F. Kennedy's inauguration speech on January 20, 1961, inspired a generation of young people to a life of public service and self-sacrifice. The speech ended with what is perhaps the most well-known chiasmus in history: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
A chiasmus is a rhetorical device in which the order of the terms in the first of two parallel clauses is reversed in the second. Chiasmus can be used to good effect for any inverted parallel pairs — for example, when Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote "Each throat was parched, and glazed each eye" in Rime of the Ancient Mariner — but it's more memorable, and often more powerful, when it inverts the same words in each pair.
One of my favorite chiasmi comes from Cyril Connolly. I know little about the man's work beyond these words of writing wisdom, but I know he's okay with that because he said . . .
"Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self."
The word chiasmus comes from the (Latinized) Greek chiasmos "a placing crosswise," which comes from chiazein "to mark with a chi."
It all comes down to the Greek letter chi, X. Consider that the point beneath your brain where your optic nerves cross is called the optic chiasma. So too does chiasmus indicate a crossing of two elements which would otherwise be parallel.
Here are a few more well-known examples of chiasmi:
The chiasmus can be a powerful device. It smacks of wit and sagacity, a neat little self-contained nugget of truth, like a rhetorical representation of a yin-yang or the symbol for infinity. But that's also its curse: It sounds like wisdom even when it's little more than a bit of trite wordplay. Ben Stiller drove this home well in the 1999 movie Mystery Men. In the movie, a man called the Sphinx is helping a collection of would-be superheroes come together as a team, all the while uttering supposed sage wisdom, such as "He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions." Stiller's character, Mr. Furious, is the only one not buying it:
THE SPHINX: Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage—
MR. FURIOUS: …your rage will become your master? That's what you were going to say. Right? Right?
THE SPHINX: Not necessarily.
That sense of wisdom that surrounds a chiasmus also makes it ripe for use in one of those motivational quote images that litter social media — as no doubt the image above will be used. The cleverest or drollest of them are also subject to misattribution. For example, "You should eat to live, not live to eat" (one of my least favorite) has been variously attributed to some of the usual witty suspects, including Socrates, the Bible, Cicero, Moliere, and Benjamin Franklin.
So the chiasmus should be used sparingly; it becomes cloying and forced when overused. And certainly, when you come across a chiasmus quoted in your work, triple-check the source, because the attribution you don't get right may rightly get you in the end.

To finalize our week de la Bonnaroo, we give you our final breakdown of the festival written by the third member of our 2012 Roo-Crew and very good friend Riley Johnson. This was Riley's second year at Bonnaroo and is a great addition to the group, even if I did get him sick halfway through the weekend. So here you have it, our final installment and our most expansive breakdown yet, summarizing everything we saw. Enjoy:

Bonnaroo 2012 Recap– Rap, Roots, Vets, and Fem Rock
Bonnaroo is not for the faint of heart. The four-day music and arts festival has taken place every year for the past eleven and is an absolute commitment to go. The festival crams over 80,000 festival goers into a plot of farmland, making it the 7th largest city in Tennessee when the festival is underway. Bonnaroo forgoes the single-day tickets that are popular with other festivals but rather has a huge majority of its attendees camp on site all four days, with tons of dirt, sweat, and absolute weirdness taking place under the unforgiving Tennessee sun. Some of the best shows go till 4 AM on any given night making a crowd a bunch of tired, dirty, and mostly intoxicated zombies wandering around from stage to stage. Bonnaroo is an all-or-nothing commitment.

Top Ten Thursday: Dynamic Duos
The week of Valentine's Day, we did a breakup songs list and nothing else relating to love. This week, we have given off a couples barrage with reviews of Sleigh Bells and Tennis, two duos, and now this list. While most bands are five, the Beatles were the Fab Four, and three is a magic number, two can no doubt still kill it in rock & roll. Here is our top ten musical duos.
Bonnaroo 2012 Lineup Analysis
The 11th Bonnaroo Music Festival is set to take place in no man's land Tennessee (Manchester, to be exact) from June 7th-10th, and is locked and loaded in terms of the lineup. The lineup was revealed yesterday, and here are our initial thoughts.

Top Ten Thursday: So You Think You Can Act
Even though Donald Glover is actually an actor turned musician, we at LxL decided to put together a list of the Top Ten Musicians Turned Actors. This is clearly incongruous with Glover's career path, but being the definition of iconoclastic, we do whatever we damn well please. As always, feel free to comment with concurrences, dissents, and passionate arguments of why you think your favorite musician turned actor should have made the list. Enjoy.

MK Community Foundation are proud to have supported Shenley Wood Retirement Village Sensory Garden project to part fund their sensory garden which has just been completed this year.
The sensory garden, which has been designed and built by the residents who live within the retirement village, has planters and displays designed to represent each of the five senses.
Amongst the plants in the sensory garden there are different species of grass planted in boxes, chosen specifically to create wispy sounds as they are blown in the wind. A miniature herb garden in another planter attracts different senses in that of smell and taste, with perfectly formed rows of different plants.
Lined with beautiful multi-coloured pillars, the garden features a central Niagara water feature surrounded by a seating area for the residents and visitors to enjoy.
A sun dial marks the end of the garden's walkway that is situated in the grassy opening between the village's apartment buildings.
A pagoda forms part of the garden's walkway, with the beginnings of plants that will gradually cover the outer surface.
Ann, a resident of the village gave us a tour around the different facilities that the village has available to those who live there; a fully equipped gym looking out into the village's main square and streets is one of the main features of the village.
A spacious bar and restaurant is located in the centre of the village; closely situated near a fully equipped woodworking studio, where residents are able to build and create a wide variety of different objects that they can then sell on; the village also has a hairdressers, 'The Beehive' and arts and crafts workshops where people can gather to socialise and create art together.
The sensory garden offers a place where the residents can relax and socialise while enjoying nature, and is a perfect addition to the wonderful Shenley Wood Retirement Village!

Latrell Mitchell has signed a one-year deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs with an option for a second season, finally bringing to a close the off-season's biggest saga and speculation about his short-term future.
Mitchell rejected various offers, including $1 million a season four-year offer from the Wests Tigers, to sign with Souths over the Tigers' bitter rival, Sydney Roosters. He reiterated that he would have regretted signing for Wests and that money was not the driving force.
"There's goals in my life that I want to set that money brings, but then again you've got to set that up," he said. "For the next 12 months I'm here I just want to keep striving for that and play some good footy."
Mitchell experienced a challenging 2019 season, including being dropped from the New South Wales State of Origin squad after Game 1 and dealing with racist online trolls. The end of 2019 also saw Mitchell having to deal with contract negotiations and the breakdown between him and the Roosters. The breakdown occurred after Mitchell announced he would like to explore his options after the Roosters tables an $800,000 a year offer which would have made Mitchell the highest-paid centre in the NRL.
Mitchell and his two representatives – officially Wayde Rushton and unofficially Matt Rose – have left the Roosters bemused by accepting a pay cut with Souths two months after rejecting a pay rise. The Roosters, Souths, Mitchell and Rose have all played by the rules, though, which has caused an excruciating off-season of speculation and rumour.
One of the biggest challenges Mitchell had to work through last year was being dropped from the Origin squad for Game 2 after a perceived lack of effort, which stemmed from Game 3 in 2018. Mitchell was reportedly upset about how the news was delivered and also commented on.
"NSW went real funny on us because we don't sing the anthem," he said.
Mitchell and Blues teammates Cody Walker and Josh Ado-Carr – as well as Maroons centre Will Chambers – refused to sing the national anthem because they believe it does not represent them as Indigenous Australians. The NSWRL and Blues coach Brad Fittler denied Mitchell's dropping had anything to do with his refusal to sing the national anthem, and the quote from NRL.com was removed after NSWRL chief executive Dave Trodden phoned NRL boss Todd Greenberg claiming it was defamatory.
This in itself did not make much sense as both Fittler and Trodden backed their players' right not to sing, even if they did not personally support the notion. Addo-Carr was also awarded the True Blue Award from at the NSWRL end of season awards for being the "player who displayed qualities upon which team ethos is built".
Mitchell – who was granted extended leave in the off-season to sort his contractual situation as well as visit his home town of Taree, where he visited fire-ravaged areas – was publicly supported by Roosters coach Trent Robinson. Robinson, who supported Mitchell through many of his troubles last season, declared his relationship with Mitchell was still good despite the contract situation.
"He's a good man, he hasn't done anything wrong, the thing that frustrated me is the personal attacks on Latrell," he said. "He's a good character and a great player as well."
Mitchell is no doubt one of the most gifted players in the NRL and at his best is that rare fusion of size, speed, skill and aggression. Souths will be hoping they see the best of Mitchell and that he can rediscover his best form as he puts his contractual situation behind him.
Mitchell is not a straightforward character and deeply connects with his Indigenous roots, highlighted through his refusal to sing the national anthem. Mitchell must learn lessons from this contract saga. NRL supporters, though, undoubtedly would love to see Mitchell back at his best, and his close relationship with Souths teammate s Cody Walker and James Roberts will play a key role in him bedding into the team.
Latrell Mitchell has certainly found his voice, which should be encouraged, especially as a young Indigenous man. He must now exercise the responsibility that comes with such a voice.

IF THERE IS ANY CONSENSUS regarding the contemporary megaexhibition, it's that it is in need of reinvention. And, increasingly, a focus on performance and pedagogy seems to offer one way forward. The prime example here is Mai Abu ElDahab, Anton Vidokle, and Florian Waldvogel's attempt, albeit ultimately unsuccessful, to reimagine Manifesta 6 as an experimental art academy, but one could also mention Documenta 12, with its emphasis on workshops and colloquy, or New York's performance-only biennial, Performa, now heading toward its third edition. Displacing the emphasis from object to experience, performative and pedagogical tactics provide a way around what is now disparaged as the static nature of the Grand Show.
For the Fifth Berlin Biennial, opening on April 5, curators Adam Szymczyk, director of the Kunsthalle Basel, and Elena Filipovic, an independent art critic and curator, have extended

|Taken earlier in the season, there are still a few remaining blooms on my plant.
So I grabbed my camera and went closer for photos.
I'm not sure what it is but I like it, both with leaves from its accompanying plants, above and bare-stemmed, below.
|And you gotta love that blue sky! It's such a rarity in these parts.
|Sweet, pink blossoms in January. How cool is this?

This whole graffiti eradication campaign at the cop shop has finally gone over the edge. Calling it ancient solutions for a contemporary problem, earlier this week the cops hosted aboriginal prayers and ceremony and the unveiling of an enormous aboriginal art mural to mark the first year of their graffiti clampdown. What next? Celtic druids against drugs? Buddhist monks opposed to B and Es?

Yep, Dizzy ..we too are having a tough time reading blogs this morning.ReplyDelete
Good luck with the tractor shack.
Thanks for commenting. Ben always seemed to be the first one to comment on my blog. Sure going to miss that guy. Do you write a blog? If not, you should give it a try. Like Ben said, be careful, it is addicting.ReplyDelete
Ben will be missed by many he never knew.ReplyDelete
I'd love to help with your shed, but the 4000 mile round trip is a bit of an issue.
Good luck!
Might want to allow room for a spare bunk...just in case you make Momma mad, ya know?ReplyDelete
Just don't overdo it in this heat!
Yeah, he got me started too, about the same time as you. Every time i think about quitting, i realize this is my journal. Beats writing it by hand.ReplyDelete
YOU take care doing anything out in this heat! Too horrible to think about losing someone else, and WHERE IS BB?????
Sixbears, just got back from getting some one inch thick foot sqoare cement blocks. Probably should have gotten the two inch thk. Ones. I guess 4000 miles is a good enough excuse.ReplyDelete
HJ, got a spare in the RV, of course it is still out getting a new awning and power window motor. So I better be nice at least til it gets back here.
Trouble, nah, don't quit. BB is still in Georgia as far as I know. He probably took the news about Ben real hard, like I did.
Hey, Dizzy, these folks just tearing down their shed, maybe you can get some pointers on how that had it all put together. You'll always be right, unless you're left!ReplyDelete
Russ, I checked out the site you suggested. Maybe they could run down here to Texas from New York and give me a hand (grin). I got hook up. . .ReplyDelete
Ben's daughter Autumn is hosting a reception in Ben's honor on Tuesday, June 26 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Steven's Garden and Grill at 223 Depot Street in Mansfield, TX www.stevensgardenandgrill.com/ location. It is casual and come and go.ReplyDelete

Anyone going to it, through or near Houston, please email me at rsvpta at aol. Maybe we can get the poor orphans here, if they haven't found a home in the next couple of days.
I don't think Ben would want them to be put to sleep and I haven't heard back from the No-Kill Shelters in the Mansfield area yet.
Let's make sure Ben's 'carpet sharks' have a Happy Ending.
Penny, Lake Conroe, North of Houston, TX
sorry to hear about Ben. I hope your tractor likes it's new home. My daughter Eva, 10 years old, wants one of those sheds from Home Depot for she is tired of sharing a bedroom with her sister. she was saving money for the shed but decided to use her money for acting camp instead.ReplyDelete
I'm one who always wanted to do things myself, and never wanted to put anyone out helping me. I'm changing because I find I can really use help now, and because I think it's a good idea to let someone else get the satisfaction in their life by helping another. It's a win-win situation, so swallow your pride if anyone offers.ReplyDelete
Penny, I sent an email to you.ReplyDelete
Jill, It was just too hot for me to do much of anything outside today. If you insulate and put an interior wall in, they would make a nice little house for someone.
Gypsy, You know the old saying "Mother!! I would rather do it myself". Well, I am kind of like that and I hate to bother people. My son broke his back a couple of years ago and has rods and screws and stuff in it and I really hate to ask him for physical help, but will when I really need it.

Junior Megan Stapp carefully waters her plants in her garden, pridefully watching each one grow. Gardening has become more popular in recent years, and with spring now underway, multiple students and faculty are beginning to grow a variety of plant life.
"I started with my mom because she used to garden whenever she was younger, and wanted to teach life lessons through it while also getting fresh produce," said Stapp. "My grandparents still garden today and continue to help us with ours."
Stapp spends a lot of time with her garden, taking time out of her day to make sure that it is in excellent shape.
"I'm not going to lie, gardening does take time. I'd say after plowing and planting everything, it takes about four to five hours each week to go through and water, pull weeds, and harvest," said Stapp.
In the end, the hard work is worth it for Stapp.
"It's rewarding to see all of your efforts pay off whenever you start to see things growing and being able to eat what you've grown," said Stapp. "It is a responsibility, but once everything is up and running, you get to sit back more and watch everything happen."
Like Stapp, spanish teacher Heather Bradley also enjoys gardening and growing vegetables such as peas, tomatoes, and, once, carrots. She also grows peppers, squash, cucumbers, and herbs.
"I started [gardening] just because it was fun, it was nice to have fresh vegetables out, and then it just grew a little bit every year. When I had kids, it became a fun thing that they can do with me," said Bradley. "It also became a way to encourage them to eat vegetables. If they grow it, they're more willing to try to eat it than if it's just from the store. It actually works."
Bradley explained how gardening has become more common because of popular trends.
"I think gardening now is almost more trendy, and more accessible. It's easy to find high quality seeds, and it's easy to find organic materials, because people want to do it," said Bradley.
Sophomore Madelyn Lopp is another student that enjoys gardening. She grows tomatoes, watermelons, apples, lettuce, arugula peppers, spinach, marigolds, zinnias, and kale.
"I have been gardening since I was a baby," said Lopp. "Both sets of my grandparents gardened. They showed me everything and basically ignited my love of gardening. I learned everything from them."
Gardening has become a fun and entertaining hobby for many over the years, and with the numbers of people with green thumbs on the rise, more and more lovely gardens are on display during the spring/summer seasons.
"I grow Zucchini, tomatoes, squash, and lettuce. We've been gardening since I was 10, so for about six years," said Stapp.
On the other hand, Bradley has been gardening for 10 years, and now cares for two small raised beds filled with various vegetables, herbs, and vines, but peas remain her go-to.
"When [the peas] are outside growing, the kids'll say, 'Oh it's so cool. I want to pick it!' and they'll eat it. They love it," said Bradley.
Though the fresh peas are a family favorite, she explains that peas are not her first choice when it comes to picking what to eat.
"I personally love having big fresh tomatoes. I could eat at least a tomato a day. But I like the peas because my kids will be playing outside and they'll just walk over to the peas and eat them," said Bradley.
Growing certain crops/plants does not always work out. In Bradley's case, carrots gave her a hard season.
"Last year we did carrots for the first time, and I didn't do too well with carrots, so I'm not sure if I'll put carrots back out or not," Bradley said with a laugh.
Gardening has become a hobby to both Stapp and Bradley, one they do not plan to stop anytime soon.
"I've been doing it for so long. I can't imagine not doing it," said Stapp.
Bradley extended Stapp's statement by explaining that caring for a garden has a certain element other activities may not offer.
"I think for me that sometimes it's a very calming hobby because you get to get out, get your hands dirty, kind of reconnect back with land. There's just something about that that helps put things back into perspective if you're stressed out," said Bradley.
Bradley added in a final statement on gardening:
"Even if you screw it up, it's still worthwhile. It's one of those things that if you want to try it, you just jump right in and you'll learn as you go."

- A backflow prevention device which incorporates an assembly of check valves, with shutoff valves at each end and appurtenances for testing.
- An actual or potential threat of contamination to the potable water in the public water system which, in the opinion of the DEP or the Town of Middleton, may endanger health.
- The location of approved backflow prevention devices in a manner which provides simultaneous protection of the public water system and the potable water system within the premises.
- The physical examination and testing of an installed backflow prevention device by a certified backflow prevention device tester, to verify that the backflow prevention device is functioning properly.
- A report form, designated by the Town, which is to be used by certified testers to record all pertinent testing information.
- Any person maintaining a cross-connection installation or owning or occupying premises on which cross-connections can or do exist.
- A document issued by the Town which allows a cross-connection installation.
- Any individual, corporation, company, association, trust, partnership, the commonwealth, a municipality, district, or other subdivision or instrumentality of the United States.
- Any water from any source which has been approved by the DEP for human consumption.
- An approved backflow prevention device designed to prevent only backsiphonage and which is designed for use under static line pressure and which has necessary appurtenances for testing.

The owner or his agent shall allow his property to be inspected for possible cross-connections and follow the provisions of the Water Division of the Department of Public Works' program and DEP regulations.
The cross-connection program for the Town of Middleton will be administered by the following personnel:
Superintendent of Public Works. The Superintendent of Public Works will be responsible for full compliance of the program, which includes the hiring of qualified and certified staff and/or private contractors to implement the program, as well as making sure that the staff is properly trained. The Superintendent will also be responsible for taking any and all enforcement actions, when necessary.

Conducting the public education program.
Supervising the surveys and inspections program.
Keeping the records of all results of surveys and inspections.
Assist in preparing and sending notifications.
Assisting the Town's outside contractor in conducting and coordinating QA/QC of surveys and design reviews.
Submitting reports to DEP.
Assisting the Town's outside contractor in reviewing and approving design data sheets and plans for proposed new installations of reduced-pressure backflow preventers, double check valve assemblies, and air gap separations with tank and pump arrangements.
Tester. The Town of Middleton may use the services of an outside contractor who is properly certified, licensed and insured as its certified backflow prevention device tester. The tester will work directly with the program coordinator to coordinate scheduling of tests.
Current staffing in place: water systems operator/program coordinator.
In addition to attending the mandated DEP annual distribution system cross-connection control program training workshop, the Town will actively promote attendance to other workshops, meetings, etc., sponsored by the New England Water Works Association (NEWWA), American Water Works Association (AWWA), other towns or state agencies.
The Town will maintain annual subscriptions to water publications and other materials that are relative to cross-connection information. The Town will maintain active memberships in NEWWA and AWWA for all its personnel.
Town of Middleton.
On new installations, the Superintendent of Public Works will provide on-site evaluations and/or inspections of plans in order to determine the type of backflow preventer, if any, that will be required and notify the owner of plan approval requirements by the appropriate reviewing authority.
For buildings existing prior to enactment of these rules and regulations, the program coordinator will perform surveys of all industrial, commercial, agricultural, municipal, and institutional facilities served by the Water Division to determine if cross-connections exist and that all cross-connections are properly protected by an appropriate device.
The Superintendent of Public Works or program coordinator will not allow any cross-connection to remain unless it is protected by an approved backflow preventer for which a permit has been issued by the Town and which will be regularly tested to ensure satisfactory operation.
If the Superintendent of Public Works or his designee determines at any time that a serious threat to the public health exists, the water service may be terminated immediately.
The Superintendent of Public Works will have on his staff at least one backflow prevention device tester and cross-connection surveyor who is certified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Town of Middleton may contract out the service of testing all backflow prevention devices according to the requirements of 310 CMR 22.22, while under the direction of the Town. The Town may at any time decide to perform all such testing through qualified employees of the Public Works Department.
The Superintendent of Public Works will maintain all cross-connection control program related records, which includes an updated owners and device listing.
The Superintendent of Public Works will also be responsible for assigning cross-connection identification numbers and cross-connection control device identification numbers.
The Superintendent of Public Works may require that all new and retrofit installations of reduced-pressure preventers and double check valve assemblies include the installation of strainers located immediately upstream of the backflow device. The installation of strainers will preclude the fouling of backflow devices due to both foreseen and unforeseen circumstances occurring to the water supply system, such as water main repairs, water main breaks, fires, periodic cleaning and flushing of mains, etc. These occurrences may stir up debris within.
The Superintendent of Public Works encourages the use of atmospheric vacuum breakers on all outside spigots, whether residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional.
The owner shall be responsible for elimination or protection of all cross-connections on his/her premises.
The owner shall have appropriate backflow prevention devices installed on fire protection systems having actual or potential cross-connections.
The owner shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining all necessary approvals and permits for the maintenance of cross-connections and installation of backflow prevention devices and applying annually for the renewal of each permit.
The owner shall have any device that fails an inspection or test immediately repaired by a licensed plumber.
The owner shall inform the Water Division of any proposed or modified cross-connection and also any existing cross-connection of which the owner is aware but has not been found by the Superintendent of Public Works or his designated agent.
The owner shall be responsible for spare parts, repair tools, or a replacement device and the cost of any additional testing required in excess of the semiannual test schedule for (RPBP) reduced-pressure backflow preventers or the annual test required for all (DCVA) double check valve assemblies.
The owner shall not install a bypass around any backflow preventer unless there is a backflow preventer of the same type on the bypass. Owners who cannot shut down operations for testing of the device(s) must supply additional devices necessary to allow testing to take place.
The owner will install backflow preventers in a manner approved by the Town.
The owner will install only reduced-pressure backflow preventers and double check valves assemblies approved by DEP.
Any owner of industrial, commercial, municipal, or institutional premises having a private water source must have a local permit if the well or source is cross-connected to the Town's water system. Permission to cross-connect may be denied by the Superintendent of Public Works or his designee. The owner may be required to install a backflow preventer at the service entrance if a private water source is maintained even if it is not cross-connected to the Water Division's public water supply.
The owner of any residential premises having a private well or other private water source will not be allowed a physical connection with the public water supply system.
The owner will be responsible for the payment of all fees for permits, device testing, retesting in the case that the device fails to operate correctly, and second reinspection for noncompliance with the Water Division or DEP requirements.
The owner shall be responsible for providing labor on the premises as necessary to allow inspection and testing of devices by the Middleton Water Division or his designated agent.
The owner shall be responsible for having spare parts and repair tools for the backflow devices on the premises at all times. If the backflow device is not able to be repaired the owner is responsible for supplying a replacement device.
No person, including a licensed plumber, will install a cross-connection device on any facility served by the Water Division without first receiving approval from the Water Division and filing a notice of approval with the Water Division and the local plumbing inspector.
Local plumbing inspector.
The local plumbing inspector, as authorized by MGL c. 143 and as required under 248 CMR 2.14(b), will ensure that potable water supply systems are designed, installed, and maintained in a manner as to prevent contamination from nonpotable sources which may be introduced to the Water Division system through cross-connections.
After reviewing the plans and specifications for plumbing work under 248 CMR 2.04(5) and before issuing a permit, the plumbing inspector, as required by 248 CMR 2.14, shall require the installation of appropriate devices as approved by DEP.
The Superintendent of Public Works recognizes the threat to the public water system arising from cross-connections. As such, the Water Division, whereas it is responsible for the quality of the public water supply, may require cross-connection prevention devices on the water service entrance to any customer who, as a result of unprotected cross-connections, could contaminate the public water supply system. All associated costs would be the responsibility of the owner.
Any existing backflow preventer device shall be allowed by the Water Division to continue in service unless the degree of hazard is such as to supersede the effectiveness of the present backflow preventer. Where the degree of hazard has increased, as in the case of a residential installation converting to a business establishment, a reduced-pressure backflow preventer must be installed.
The Superintendent of Public Works shall not allow a cross-connection to exist with the public water supply system unless it is considered necessary and all appropriate approvals and permits have been issued.
Only the Superintendent of Public Works and the program coordinator for the Town of Middleton can classify a violation found during a survey.
After any violations of the cross-connection regulations are found, in surveys or otherwise, the Superintendent of Public Works must sent out a cross-connection violation form detailing the violation(s) and a procedure for corrective action. This shall include a requirement for plan submittal and will indicate the deadline for such submittal. A period of 30 days will be granted for plan submittal unless a more appropriate schedule is necessary in the judgment of the Superintendent of Public Works.
If the owner of any premises does not initiate corrective actions by the prescribed deadline, the Superintendent of Public Works will then issue a follow-up letter indicating that the owner remains in violation under 310 CMR 22.22, Section 2(b), of the Drinking Water Regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Failure to comply with this regulation will result in the owner having his service terminated, unless corrective work is initiated within 15 days and completed within 30 days.
If the owner of any premises remains in noncompliance after the deadline established in this second letter, the property will be posted for shutoff and the Town of Danvers will be notified to terminate water service. The owner will be notified through U.S. Postal Service certified mail, return receipt requested.
If circumstances arise where a large number of violations are found and it becomes a large financial burden to the owner of the premises, a creative enforcement strategy will be undertaken whereby corrective work is staggered over a reasonable period of time. However, the public water supply distribution mains must never be at risk, and containment devices will be a priority at any high-hazard facility.
If the occasion should arise where termination of the water supply will result in unreasonable risk to the public health of the community, then the DEP will be notified and other enforcement strategies will be necessary, including but not limited to the assessment of an administrative penalty to any owner in noncompliance with Section 22 of the Drinking Water Regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The termination of the water service to the owner's property shall remain in effect until the owner has received an approval from the Town of Middleton that the service no longer poses a threat to the public water supply system.
To verify if a threat still exists to the public water supply system, an on-site inspection must be conducted, and testing of any installed devices must be successfully completed. The owner will then be responsible for requesting the inspection and/or test as well as providing any access or plans requested by the program coordinator, including any fees associated with on-site inspections or testing. In addition, the owner will also be responsible to the Town of Danvers for any turnoff, turn-on, or other fees incurred as a result of this violation.
The Town will maintain a copy of all violation notices and certified mail receipts. In addition, a summary listing of all violations shall be established.
All installations of reduced-pressure backflow preventers (RPBP) which are registered by the Town of Middleton must be tested semiannually by a Massachusetts DEP certified backflow tester. Any RPBP which is on line less than six months of the year must be tested at least once. All installations of double check valve assemblies (DCVA) which are registered by the Town must be tested annually by a Massachusetts DEP certified backflow tester. Care must be taken to ensure that these devices are protected against freezing, flooding, and mechanical damage.
Periodic testing shall be performed by a certified backflow prevention device tester.
The testing shall be conducted during the regular business hours of the Department of Public Works. Testing after the regular hours, when at the request of the owner, shall require additional charges to cover the increased cost to the Town of Middleton.
Any backflow preventer which fails during a periodic test must be repaired or replaced by a licensed plumber. When repairs are necessary, upon completion of the repair, the device will be retested at the owner's expense to ensure proper operation. High-hazard situations will not be allowed to continue unprotected if the backflow preventer fails the test and cannot be repaired immediately. In other situations, a date of not more than 14 days after the test date will be established. Parallel installation of two devices is an effective means of ensuring that uninterrupted water service remains during testing or repair of devices and is strongly recommended when the owner desires such continuity.
The Superintendent of Public Works reserves the right to test RPBP and DCVA devices more frequently where there is a history of test failures and the program coordinator, or his designee, feels that due to the degree of hazard involved additional testing is warranted. Cost of the additional tests will be borne by the owner.
Availability of reports and records to the Town of Danvers. The Town of Middleton Public Works Department will make available all records and reports to the Town of Danvers Public Works Department since both Towns share the same water system.
Surveying. Surveying will begin on February 1, 1998, starting with all municipal buildings followed by all other industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. Surveys will be complete by December 31, 1998.
Inspection. Inspections of all new construction will begin upon enactment of these rules and regulations and will continue on an ongoing basis, as needed.
Backflow device testing. Backflow device testing will begin by January 1, 1999.
The fee structure shall be established by the Middleton Board of Selectmen acting in their capacity as Middleton Water Commissioners and shall be attached.

The challenge to brands and their owners or curators today is how to compete more effectively in a steadily increasingly crowded marketplace.
And I don't mean the marketplace you physically compete in I mean the "Marketplace of the Mind of the Customer".
This is the real marketplace and it is becoming more crowded everyday with over-stimulation of information from media and brands.
And the customer (that's you and me and everyone else on the planet) is becoming increasingly adept at screening out the tsunami of unwanted messages.
So what's the solution?
Well you have to turn your thinking upside down. Stop thinking about yourself, your brands, your company, your objectives. It's not about you. Really!
Start thinking about your customer. No really!
Customers, people, us, we, live our lives with a shopping list of needs and desires. Most of these are pretty trivial and don't matter all that much.
We need coffee. We need to catch up with the daily news. We need a comfortable ride. We need something to entertain us.
They aren't really needs are they? Well sort of.
We need security. We need to belong, to love and be loved. We need health. We need something to believe in. These are fundamental drivers.
And we make choices everyday that are either consistent or inconsistent with those needs.
We allow products, services, brands, messages into our lives that enrich our lives according to our dominant needs in that moment.
We reject those that don't accord with our needs and desires in a given moment.
You don't really need an umbrella. Unless it starts to rain. And then umbrellas become quite important momentarily until it stops raining.
Great brands and clever marketers understand this contract that human beings enter into with the universe. The exchange of value.
When I need it, or perceive I need it, or just desire it, that's the best time to talk to me.
Understand me, my motivation, my goal, in the right place and at the right time and I'll give you my attention.
Otherwise, at the very least, entertain me or inform me so I'll think of you when the time comes.
So yes, it's true, every marketing challenge starts and ends with customer understanding. It doesn't start with you.
Good to get that the right way round.
You need to.

Premium cruise line Oceania have announced a massive US$100M renovation program for their iconic 684-guest Regatta-class cruise ships.
The Oceania renovation program is called OceaniaNEXT and it will see Regatta, Insignia, Sirena, and Nautica transformed from bow to stern with new decor, remodelled public areas and entirely redesigned guest rooms and suites.
Oceania have told us they will take inspiration from their flagships Marina and Riviera, with richly appointed and stylish new interiors that showcase the best of residential design.
The famous Grand Staircase onboard the Regatta-class vessels will come in for particular attention, framed by intricate railings and balustrades inset with crystal accents. Overhead, a stunning chandelier will be adorned with hanging pieces of smoked and hand-painted glass.
The Grand Dining Room will get a major makeover during the Oceania renovation program, with a lighter and more contemporary decor of soft cream leather dining chairs accented by metallic bronze threading.
Perhaps the biggest change will be in the guest rooms and suites. Every one will be stripped to the studs and remade. Oceania promise the new guest rooms will feel more spacious and light, with a modern decor and custom-crafted furnishings.
Nautica Penthouse Suite review
There will also be brand new bathrooms. Every fixture and surface will be new, with designer fixtures, improved lighting and lavish vanities. A big improvement will be the addition of glass shower enclosures in all rooms and suites. Penthouse, Vista, and Owner's Suites bathrooms will offer even more space and be fitted with Carrara marble, polished granite, and sleek onyx.
Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises, is understandably upbeat about the Oceania renovation program. "They don't build ships like these anymore, which is why this re-inspiration project is such an important milestone in our company's 15-year history. We are maintaining the intimate surroundings and personal attention that our guests love, while at the same time setting a new standard of style and elegance for small ship cruising. We can't wait for our 'new' ships to launch."
Insignia will be the first to debut on 7 December 2018, followed by Sirena in May 2019, Regatta in September 2019 and Nautica in June 2020.

Was in a great all-day work session today. In the participant workbook, there was a brief excerpt on listening. It is simple and brilliant and I wanted to share it with you. I tracked it down on the internet and am sharing the link below. READ IT NOW!
Applicable to every aspect of our life. Listening leads to understanding. Understanding leads to trust. Trust leads to collaboration. Collaboration leads to getting things done – that's a good thing, right?
Robert O permalinkJanuary 7, 2011 10:04 am
Thanks posting that link. Great stuff. I might add the following…
David Allen and GTD are all the rage now and he is very good. However, my desktop reference continues to be 7 Habits. From that book… When another speaks, we're usually "listening" at one of four levels. We may be (1) ignoring another person, not really listening at all. We may practice (2) pretending. "Yeah. Uh-huh. Right." We may practice (3) selective listening, hearing only certain parts of the conversation. We often do this when we're listening to the constant chatter of a preschool child. Or we may even practice (4) attentive listening, paying attention and focusing energy on the words that are being said. But very few of us ever practice the fifth level, the highest form of listening, empathic listening. p. 240 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
He goes on to define empathic listening as the intent to understand. Empathic listening gets inside the other person's frame of reference and allows us to understand how they feel.
"The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of" – Pascal
Julie V permalinkJanuary 15, 2011 12:10 pm
MM: Thanks for posting. Reading this gives me pause to remember to be conscious and attentive to this everyday.
I hate to be nit-pick, but there is a typo in the story.See caps below Really not that important, but is annoying. Actually felling is sometimes how one feels when someone isn't listening! What if we "fell" every time someone wasn't listening?
From article:
"But when you accept as fact that I do feel what I FELL, no matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you and can get about the business of understanding what's behind this irrational feeling."

EastEnders spoilers: will Linda's mum Elaine confront Dean? Maria Friedman interview
"Elaine notices that there is a difference with Linda when Dean is in the pub, so she is very suspicious about that"
West End star Maria Friedman is to make her EastEnders debut next week playing Elaine Peacock, the mother of Linda Carter. Upcoming scenes will see Mick (Danny Dyer) call Elaine after he grows worried about Linda's behaviour. Little does he realise, though, that his partner has suffered a horrific rape at the hands of Dean Wicks.
When Elaine arrives, she tries to get her daughter to open up, but struggles to get through to her – can Linda tell the truth about what has happened? And what would Elaine do to Dean were she to discover what he's done? Here, Maria Friedman reveals what it was like arriving in Albert Square and why Elaine isn't a woman to be messed with…
Can you tell us what Elaine is like?
She's a powerhouse. She is a woman who has run things on her own for many, many years and she is full of love and laughter. She loves to sing, she loves to laugh. She has a huge heart and an amazing life force.
What does Mick say when he calls her up?
He says, "I need your help, I can't get Linda to tell me what's going on, she's not herself and she looks really depressed.' Elaine and Mick are very close.
What about her relationship with Linda?
They are very close. Linda's dad died, so Elaine was widowed early in her marriage. Linda has got everything Elaine wanted; a great marriage, wonderful children and she is beautiful and capable and I think Elaine feels very proud of her.
There is also a feeling of, 'I wish I'd had a bit of what she had". There's no animosity or bitchiness, but there is a slight competitiveness. She feels like she is more like Linda's sister than her mother. She is very protective of her and if the chips are down, she would be there for her in a shot.
So what does Elaine think when she sees Linda?
She can see something is wrong. Initially, she thinks it's marital problems, but then realises it is something more. She notices that there is a difference with Linda when Dean is in the pub, so she is very suspicious about that.
Does Elaine try and talk to Linda?
Absolutely. Linda would normally tell her mum about any problems, so Elaine is wondering why Linda can't tell her. She knows something is really wrong. Linda sort of ducks and dives, she almost tells her and then doesn't. Elaine is thinking, 'What is going on here?'
What would she do if she found out what Dean did?
Elaine is not afraid of anything, so she would confront Dean.
So how have you found your EastEnders experience?
I was terrified on the first day. I came back shattered and thinking it was the most terrifying thing ever. You have to learn so quickly. But my screen family were so gentle, kind, funny and warm. I couldn't have been made more welcome by my Carter family.
Do you watch the show?
Anita Dobson is one of my very best friends, so I was an absolute addict years ago. But when you are in the theatre you don't watch any soap because you're working when it's on. The great thing is about soap, though, is that when you tune back in again, it is addictive. I am watching all the time now.
Is the door open for Elaine to return?
Possibly. She has certainly got lots of things about her. She has a very rich past. There is a lot to play with but who knows if she'll be back?
What was it like filming in the Queen Vic?
It was hilarious and fun – you are walking into this iconic place with all these people sitting round. I just wanted to pinch myself – I so wanted my family and my husband to be there watching me. I was like, 'What am I doing in here?' I enjoyed it so much. The Carter family, each one of them, are so friendly. It really felt very natural. I would be thrilled to come back.

Some of you may be surprised at what it can cost you to return library books late or to replace a lost item. However, rest assured that the Libraries do not profit from these charges. Our system of overdue fines, replacement charges and other sanctions is in place to encourage the timely return of library material to maximize availability and fair access to library resources. The replacement charge of a book or other library item includes:
- the replacement cost of the lost item, to be calculated based on current or average cost
- the overdue fine to a maximum of $20, non-refundable
- a non-refundable processing fee of $20
At first glance, the replacement cost may not seem like the lowest price. Although a bookseller may offer the same book for far less than we are charging, the story is far more complicated. The cost on a bookseller's website may not be for a new book. The book may or may not be in good condition. The price may be for a format different from what was lost (for example, paperback versus hardcover). Also, shipping, handling and duty significantly increase the total cost. For foreign dealers, shipping to Canada may not be an option. Finally, sometimes the book is not available in the end and we have to start the search process all over again. Therefore, when replacing a book, the Libraries choose the surest way to obtain a new copy of an item.
For more information, please see our Fines Information page at: http://library.concordia.ca/services/circulation/fines.php .
