2016 has been a year of significant social and political overhaul, but there's also change afoot in the real-estate industry. In response to the most fascinating developments, we're honing in on how investors can capitalise on these trends.
Cities are still key for real-estate investment. As urban living increases in popularity, the size of metropolitan regions will continue to proliferate. Megacities – ultra-dense urban areas with more than 10 million inhabitants – will multiply over the next 15 years, with the UN suggesting 90% of this growth will occur in Africa and Asia.
In the US, the current trend is an increasing preference for so-called '18-hour cities' such as Austin, Texas, as opposed to traditional 24-hour cities like New York. On a similar vein, second cities in Europe, including Hamburg in Germany and Birmingham in the UK, are becoming more popular. Copenhagen, although a capital, is also seeing a resurgence, most notably for its biotech and environmental industry.
It's still expected, however, that the bulk of millennial parents will move to the suburbs to raise children, similarly to their predecessors in the US and Europe.
Which generation?
The millennial generation is eager to expend its buying power. While not always equipped with sky-high budgets, members of this market are interested in purchasing at a young age. Generation Y is seen as vital in the real-estate industry as it's willing to experiment and try nontraditional living spaces, including smaller or shared properties.
When targeting millennials as potential buyers, public transport links must be taken into account. Some studies suggest that cars are less of a priority for this demographic – at least in the US.
It's also no secret that the global population is ageing, with Italy leading the way in Europe. This ushers in its own challenges when it comes to building and acquiring property. Open-plan design, ramps and wider access ways for those with reduced mobility should be factored in. Extra accommodation for live-in help will also add value to a home.
Residential or commercial?
The nature of commercial investment is changing, which will be reflected in the residential property sector. Shop fronts are less in demand as more retailers switch to e-commerce. Conversions from commercial buildings to personal homes are likely to be required more often.
Employees are also using technology to work remotely, so a home office is becoming an attractive feature in a residential property. If you're attempting to sell your house, consider incorporating a flexible workspace that converts into a leisure area with ease.
What does green mean for me?
With climate change at the forefront of many national and international conversations, 2016 is the year to invest in the environment. With the likelihood of new eco-regulations cropping up and green standards becoming increasingly popular, it's worth keeping abreast of policies in the country you choose to invest in.
Environmentally-friendly properties needn't be thought of as a burden. These are highly sought after in the residential market, and increasingly so in the commercial sphere – especially by eco-conscious SMEs. Consider installing rooftop gardens, grass roofs and living walls, as well as systems to collect rain water.

High blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (AFib), high cholesterol, diabetes and circulation problems are all medical risk factors, which are controllable, for stroke. Medical risk factors are often caused by a combination of things including family history. Medical risk factors are treatable by medications and special diets. Talk to your healthcare professional about options available and together come up with a plan that best fits you.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is the number-one cause of stroke. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure causes the heart to pump harder to move blood through the body. This can weaken blood vessels and damage major organs, such as the brain. People who have high blood pressure have one and a half times the risk of having a stroke compared to those who consistently have optimal blood pressure of 120/80. The most important thing you can do is to control it. This can be accomplished through healthy eating habits, physical activity, or medications.
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
AFib is a type of irregular heartbeat. While it can occur at any age, it is more common in people 65 years and older. AFib is more common in people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes. AFib raises stroke risk because it allows blood to pool in the heart. When blood pools, it tends to form clots which can then be carried to the brain, causing a stroke.
Long-term untreated AFib can also weaken the heart, leading to heart failure. The goal for treating AFib is to restore the regular rhythm of the heart, which can be done with medications or through the use of electrical stimulation.
High Cholesterol
Cholesterol is the fatty substance in the blood. It can be either produced by the body or be found in food. High cholesterol in the arteries can block normal flow to the brain and cause a stroke. With high cholesterol your risk for heart disease and atherosclerosis also increase. Total cholesterol levels under 200 are recommended and if yours is higher, it can be controlled through healthy eating habits, physical activity, or medications.
In people with diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin (Type I Diabetes) or the cells ignore the insulin (Type II Diabetes). Without insulin, the body can't process sugar, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. People with diabetes are up to four times more likely to have a stroke than people who don't, mainly because people with diabetes often have other stroke risk factors, such as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and high cholesterol. Weight loss, exercise, changes in eating habits, oral medications, and insulin shots are all ways to control diabetes.
Circulation Problems
Circulation is the movement of the blood through the heart and blood vessels. One of the major circulation problems is atherosclerosis, progressive fatty deposits in the arteries that cause hardening and buildup of cholesterol plaque. Atherosclerosis can clog up arteries blocking the flow of blood to the brain, making a person more at risk for a stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or other heart disease. Circulation problems can be treated with medications or surgery.
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease (also called carotid artery stenosis) is the narrowing of the carotid arteries. These are the two main blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. There are often no symptoms. This condition occurs due to age, unhealthy lifestyle, and not managing risk factors such as high cholesterol.
A test can be conducted to diagnose carotid artery disease – talk to your healthcare provider if you experience any stroke symptoms. There are a number of treatment options available to control this condition.

Suffolk University founded in 1906 to create opportunity for all
Suffolk University grew from humble beginnings in the Roxbury parlor of Gleason L. Archer, a young lawyer who had worked his way through high school and college. A chance meeting brought the young graduate together with a benefactor who loaned him money to pursue the study of law, asking only that Archer pass along the favor.
In 1906, Archer opened the Suffolk School of Law, a night school established to "serve ambitious young men who are obliged to work for a living while studying law." He believed that the growing waves of immigrants arriving in America should be given the educational opportunities that were then reserved for the wealthy few.
In the heart of the city
Archer soon moved the school into his downtown law offices. The centralized location immediately made the school more convenient to students and, in time, opened doors to innumerable collaborations with government, business, and cultural entities.
In 1908 machinist and Archer student Roland E. Brown passed the bar. News of Brown's achievement led to a boost in registration, so Archer gave up his law practice to devote himself full-time to the Suffolk School of Law.
By 1930, Archer's creation had grown into one of the largest law schools in the country.
Expanding academics
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences — later renamed the College of Arts and Sciences — was founded in 1934 in response to the recommended standard that law students possess a college degree and because Archer wanted to create "a great evening university" that working people could afford.
Three years later, in 1937, the College of Business Administration — now the Sawyer Business School — was established.
The three academic units were incorporated as Suffolk University in 1937, and, over the years, the University broadened its night-school approach to offer a complete range of full- and part-time programs.
The post-war years brought an influx of veterans and renewed prosperity for the nation. Extracurricular activities now flourished – and with them a growing sense of community among the students.
The University celebrated its 2006 Centennial with a year-long series of events reflecting on the University's history and looking ahead to a new century of innovation and opportunity.
The University today
Building on the promise of its founding, Suffolk University continues to anticipate and respond to the needs of a diverse student body. Through carefully designed curriculum, mentoring, networking, and service learning, the University creates opportunities that help students to meet their goals.
The College of Arts and Sciences now offers programs at the baccalaureate, master, and doctoral levels. The New England School of Art & Design, founded in 1923, became a department within the College in 1996.The Sawyer Business School emphasizes global business practice in undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, public administration, and health administration. Sawyer also offers continuing education certification programs and an online MBA.
The Law School offers Juris Doctor and Master of Laws degrees. Its expansive curriculum combines a strong academic foundation with expertise in an array of specialty areas. Nationally known faculty and a range of practical experiences provide superior preparation for law practice in the 21st century.
The University also offers more than a dozen dual degree programs.
Diverse student body
Students today hail from across the nation and around the world. They come from a variety of economic and cultural backgrounds. Students may register at the University's Madrid campus, and partnerships with institutions throughout the world allow for many additional international study and internship opportunities.
The onetime commuter school now has four residence halls, so students living on campus fully experience the academic and cultural promise of the urban environment. Classrooms, libraries, theaters, galleries, and offices are housed in buildings clustered in downtown Boston, with the historic Boston Common serving as the unofficial campus quad.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great fit Called my local Bebe to order this top....not only did Josh help out with this but had it sent overnight from PA where they had it in the store. Sadly, as great as the top fit and looked the zipper was not in the best state along with the plastic piping in the bust area was popping through. I will be returning the top and will hopefully be able to replace it. The material of this top is very nice along with a great weight. I decided to wear a strapless bra but one was not necessary should you choose to go without.

Transforming a Small 1970s Kitchen
A 1970s kitchen is transformed into something more modern. Since the budget was limited, the resources used were from Lowe's, Home Depot, and a discount flooring showroom. The challenge was to create a designer aesthetic using moderate-cost materials.
Walking into the kitchen, the first aspect you notice is the small enclosed area with only one light fixture. The kitchen is closed off to the rest of the house and in particular the living room. There are only two entrances to the kitchen and one is blocked when opening the refrigerator door. There are many others practical and aesthetic issues to resolve as well. To say that the kitchen needed some work is an understatement.
After the final renovation was completed, the kitchen walls were extended 1' by 1'. The wall was removed between the kitchen and living room with the addition of a 6' snack bar. The soffit was extended over the kitchen cabinets and a soffit was added above the snack bar. The existing heat runs and plumbing pipes were redirected. European style cabinetry and solid surface countertops with new stainless steel appliances were installed. The lighting was enhanced with the addition of recessed lights and hanging pendants over the snack bar. Finally, the tile flooring was replaced with Bamboo flooring.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's soccer team has been picked to finish fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference preseason coaches' poll released Thursday. The Bisons, 7-12-1 and 3-4-1 in A-Sun play last season, picked up 45 points to place fifth in the preseason standings.
Florida Gulf Coast, back-to-back A-Sun Conference champs, was tabbed as the league favorite by picking up 79 points and seven first-place votes. ETSU was selected to finish second with 69 points and one first-place vote, while Mercer rounds out the top three respectively with 66 points and one first-place tally.
The Preseason All-Atlantic Sun Team sees a familiar name in junior defender, Omar Djabi. In his sophomore campaign, Djabi earned a selection to the All-Atlantic Sun Second Team after scoring three goals and two assists, totaling eight points. He looks to improve on last season and help take his team to new heights in 2013.
With 171 votes, Djabi was also tabbed as the Fan-Voted Defensive Player of the Year in the A-Sun.
The Preseason Player of the Year honor belongs to senior forward from ETSU, David Geno. His teammate, Blaike Woodruff earned the selection for Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Greg Ranjitsingh of Mercer picked up the Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year selection.
The Bisons begin exhibition play against Martin Methodist at 7 p.m. on Friday Aug. 16 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. Lipscomb will face cross-town rival Belmont on Friday Aug. 30 to begin regular season play.

Went to Smugglers Cove last night. I had the mahi mahi blackened. It was overcooked and it tasted burnt. The salad was good. Friends of mine had chicken parm. and I had a bite it was good. Husband had the steak sub, he said it was good. Other friends of mine had the pizza, it looked great. Next time I will order the pizza.

Tonight is supposed to be Mercy Child playing and stone crab claws on the menu...I also heard about the Snow crab legs at H2O for $30 on Thursdays...I'll let you know how it was on Friday.

Also tried the Sam Woo...............the rice was a grease pit, the breaded chicken stuff was just breading & the chicken & broccoli was all broccoli. Then came the gassy bloating & tasting the grease all day - uck!
Just read in the paper Sharkey's now has a drive thru............well not exactly. Seems someone went off roading, struck a car & plowed through the front door............Man, the food isn't all that - HA! And apparently the driver decided that too...said sorry & reversed it!
Upside no one was hurt.

i heard about the new drive thru too, might have to try it soon
went to rum runners twice in as many weeks, first time dine in and the service was bad, waitress took our order brought our food and never checked on us again. i asked for extra napkins and never got them. kristens wrap is a bit messy. would have been nice to have more iced tea too . the only time we saw her at or near our table after the food came was to deliver the checks.
the next time i ordered carry out, i ordered kristens wrap and it was not as good as usual. it had not tomatoes which they did not let me know about in advance and the fries were cold though i got there before the order was ready, a friend ordered the tropical salad and she had to go back and get the dressing.
two bad srvices in a row. not so good.
for any servers on the board, its always a good idea to go back and check on the tables at least once before the diners are finished eating , if you cant get to it have someone else do it for you.

I've eaten there a few times years ago. Most recently the night before Valentine's Day. We sat outside and it was really lovely. It was a pricey meal, but good. I left feeling better than eating really rich food other places as their food was light. Didn't care for their side of cabbage as a veg when i was there. The service was ok, it was pretty busy but we could not get a drink for awhile (and we ordered a bottle of wine - you would think they'd be all over that, lol). my lobster was $54 which i thought was pricey for the actual amount of lobster i got, but it was V-Day and an anniversary so we splurged. I would really like to see them change their menu - it's the same one from when they first opened! Personally, I'd rather go to the Galleon.

Just got back from Sam Woo chinese. We eat there about once a week and it is getting more and more consistent. Two of my biggest gripes have been addressed since the new owners have taken over.
1. They are open on Mondays now. (I just hope they don't close down for 10 weeks this summer like the previous management.)
2. There is a self serve Iced Tea refill dispenser in the dining room for when the waitresses get busy.
The only complaint I have is that they want to charge you $4.00 for a bowl of fried crispy noodles to go with your soup when this is something that is complimentary at most any other chinese place stateside. On that note I realize they are also dealing with crippling WAPA rates that stateside business don't have to contend with. I am keeping my $4.00 though and doing without.
The large flat panel TV's are nice at lunch with the news and nature shows. I am not sure I would want it for dinner though, but I have never been there for anything other than lunch.
4 out of 5 stars for island cuisine.

WOW 4 out of 5 stars...they would have had to change a lot in 2 weeks!
Thanks for the report on Savant....$54 is a bit high for lobster...unless it was a really big one.....we need to go try it there...Galleon too...we really only get to eat out on Mondays and Tuesdays...Melissa is working the other nights.

We were in the neighborhood today at lunchtime, so we went to Vinnie's. My first time inside the place. It's really cute, but they need to do something outside the door. It's a little tacky looking, but no matter...food was..... hmmm...OK, service was excellent. They had a rock station playing, which was totally in-congruent with the atmosphere. I could imagine something more like elevator music or bistro type soft violins, etc., even jazz (which I personally hate), almost anything but heavy rock. That particular flavor of rock is very taste specific, and I can't believe others were enjoying it. Obviously the owner's taste. They also had a TV on, but nobody was watching, so we asked the server to turn the sound down, and she very gladly just turned it off. Sausage/pasta special, cheese sticks, one beer and iced tea $21.50, plus tip. We'll go back. We just won't stay if it's the same cocaphany of sounds, and I'll probably try a salad.

Last weekend the fam and I went to grab dinner at Vinnies before going to see the 7:15 showing Star Trek (which is awesome) at Sunny Isle. Five of us arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday night only to discover that Vinnies doesn't open til 6 pm So I'd love to try them again, but what a dopey opening time for a Saturday night near the movie theaters.
Speaking of hamburgers... my wife swears her hamburger at the Pickled Greek last week was the best one she's ever had. They put something in it. Anybody know what?

Theaters are fine, sometimes the patrons are the problem. It's the same problem that we had where I grew up in the not so nice part of the DC area....people love to talk at the movie (which for comedy flicks is cool), talk to each other, talk on their cell etc. Rudeness is universal I guess, its no worse than I saw back in DC but it does make the bootlegged DVD's and my home theater seem appealing.
If you go on an off night/time you will certainly be fine, not sure about going on a Friday/Saturday night. The theater itself is just like a stateside theater, only stuck in 1989. Not bad, not stadium seating though. I've also had more techincal problems (no sound, film breaks etc.) here than I ever had stateside, but they'll give you your money back if something goes wrong. In the end, we are probably lucky to have a movie theater at all on STX and I was just thinking about how I need to go to the movies more to give them some support.
There is a great episode of the show "Mind of Mencia" where Carlos Mencia commements that despite the fact that he had a 82" screen with 7.1 channel surround sound his home theater system wasn't quite authentic. In the skit he hires someone to answer her cell phone, scream at the screen etc. Pretty funny.

I love Savant. The outdoor garden is magical, and I've never seen a $50 entree. (I believe the poster who paid that much for lobster, but I just wanted people to know that was outside of the norm.) They have such cool choices: thai curries, mexican enchiladas, asian style fish entrees... it is really fun to get different kinds of ethnic foods and I think the prices are set well, considering we are in overpriced STX. I think a curry is around $17 and there is plenty to eat for the next day's lunch also. (I am not shy about taking leftovers home!)
They are closed on Sundays. I really recommend giving it a try, even just for a drink and an appetizer - they have AWESOME appetizers!

Okay, here is my two cents:
For breakfast: Paradise Cafe in downtown Christiansted and Deep End/Tamarind Reef (patience is a virtue), or Golden Rail/Gallow's Bay
For lunch: -Mexican: Cohiba's (better Mexican than Luncheria lately)
-local: Spicy Grill near Superior Court/Kingshill (great food and FAST sit-down service) and Kim's in downtown Christiansted
- Pizza: Napoleon's (can't beat a hand-tossed crust)
-Sandwich: Mencho's (but my coworkers fight me on this and say a sub from the Quality Store counter beats it hands down)
For Dinner: -Bacchus in C'Sted with Jody as my waiter
-Le St. Tropez in F'Sted (is it still open?) This is the BEST French food and the steamed mussels are to die for
For late-night:-Wings from the Divi Casino Snack Bar
-2 + 2 chicken or shrimp and fries (lil restaurant next to the bar)
Zebo's -I agree with bathiel and say that I don't need snotty condescension when my man pays out good money for the food (which is sometimes good, sometimes great) ....Plus they are always playing that damn Cirque de Soleil video like it's the greatest thing on earth. I HATE that! And the staff hogs the pool table if you are going there for a late-night cocktail.
-East End Pizza. When it first opened it was good. Last time I had pizza there it was awful, service was like they had to get up to the moon to make it, and I was hung up on one night after they said they were closed, when it was well within the time they should have been open, and we had tried to order a pizza for pick-up.
-I wish I had the money to make a parking lot/area in downtown C'Sted. We do NOT need that many taxi spots along the street. It hurts business when you have to circle the block 8 times and then give up. Used to park in the "Feel lucky? Towing $500" spot at night, but now they put the bar down. Guess me luck ran out....
-Rowdy Joe's-everyone is talking good things about it

Thanks Yearasta for the update on the AYCE crab legs at Mahi's, I'm going to check it out. We use to go to the Hibiscus hotel to eat crab legs about a year ago, it would always seem the first batch you got were good then from there it went down hill, they were watery and tasted terrible.

The Public Sector for the Future Summit assembles the senior-most leaders in public sector to discuss strategies for government transformation and the leadership skills needed to deliver public service for the future. The event will further explore the focus of citizen-centric government, emphasizing the development of dynamic leadership abilities, to set a vision for the future.
The Summit will not only help participants learn about and implement near-term innovations, but also develop long-term solutions. This conference focuses on the leadership strategies needed to deliver a more efficient, effective and responsive government, while leveraging the Public Sector Uptake and Edge Matrix. This organizing framework can help leaders as they negotiate transformational change. By plotting enterprise-wide change efforts, leaders can better assess how quickly or slowly to enact changes, how broadly or narrowly to implement changes, and if transformations will be more successful if they are positioned as "top down" or "bottom-up" efforts.
The 2015 Public Sector for the Future Summit convened June 2-4, 2015 at Harvard University, and provided a forum for "Chief Transformation Officers" to comprehensively address both the heightened public demands placed on governments and the growing need for government transformation.
How can public service develop bold strategies to increase public value? Explore insights from the 2015 Public Sector for the Future Summit.

Microsoft announced two significant licensing changes around Visual Studio that will be a boon for partners. First, the company said it will soon initiate a shared-source licensing program for Visual Studio and make the IDE's source code available to ISV partners for debugging purposes. Microsoft also removed a licensing restriction that previously limited use of the Visual Studio software development kit to development only around Microsoft's platforms: partners will now be free to create Visual Studio-based applications and extensions on Linux and other non-Windows platforms.

Small Cool 2010: Maggie's Flea Market Treasures
Who Lives Here: Maggie, and her "dapper cat", Ollie
Location: Los Angeles, California
Size: 450 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? My favorite thing about my home is the cozy atmosphere (helped substantially by some lucky thrift store and flea market treasures!). The sixties apartment lines and features fit perfect with my own mid-century aesthetic (from music to movies to design . . .). I love that when people come over they feel like they can hunker down and be at home.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? The most challenging thing about my apartment is the light (or lack thereof). You can see in the pictures that even in the middle of a sunny, Los Angeles day, the apartment is quite dark. I've tried to overcome that a bit by decorating and furnishing with a lot of bright colors and cheerful odds and ends.

The season of good cheer might be the time of aging faster, according to a new way of looking at the risks of drinking, smoking, and overeating.
People lose a microlife, or half-an-hour of life expectancy, for every two cigarettes they smoke, wrote David Spiegelhalter, PhD, in the Christmas issue of BMJ. Being 11 pounds overweight, having a second or third alcoholic drink of the day, and tucking into a burger each also cost a microlife, he added.
The usual ways of expressing the risk of such behavior -- hazard ratios, standardized mortality ratios, and population attributable fractions -- often don't strike a chord among lay people, argued Spiegelhalter, who is Winton professor for the public understanding of risk at the University of Cambridge in the UK.
To make matters plainer, Spiegelhalter suggests converting hazard ratios into "microlives," defined as 30 minutes of life expectancy. Losing microlives is equivalent to aging faster, he said.
"Smoking 20 cigarettes a day (10 microlives) is as if you are rushing towards your death at 29 hours a day instead of 24," he wrote.
On the other hand, people can gain a microlife by exercising for 20 minutes, taking a statin, stopping at one drink a day, or eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
Spiegelhalter computed a million half hours -- or 57 years -- roughly corresponds to a lifetime of adult exposure to any given hazard. Indeed, he noted, at current mortality rates in the UK, a 35-year-old can expect to live another 55 years or 481,000 hours or very nearly a million microlives.
The approach "allows a general, non-academic audience to make rough but fair comparisons between the sizes of chronic risks, and is based on a metaphor of 'speed of ageing,'" Spiegelhalter wrote.
As an example, he cited a recent study that suggested eating an extra portion of 3 ounces of red meat daily was associated with a hazard ratio for all-cause mortality of 1.13.
If that's converted to a change in life expectancy in Britain, he said, a 35-year-old man with a lifetime habit of that extra few mouthful of red meat a day is looking at living to 79 instead of 80.
"This does not look very impressive, as people tend to dismiss effects that are perceived to lie in the distant future," Spiegelhalter commented.
But the loss of 1 year over 45 works out to about half an hour a day, so that a burger a day over a lifetime is associated with losing half an hour a day in life expectancy, he said, "which is, unless you are a quite a slow eater, longer than it takes to eat the burger."
Spiegelhalter also noted that demographic factors -- not just behavior -- can be expressed in microlives. Being female rather than male is equivalent to a gain of 4 microlives a day, while being Swedish rather than Russian gains 21 microlives a day for men.
The approach has some limitations, Spiegelhalter noted. It ignores variability among people and does not apply to specific ages or single exposures. Also, microlives reflect epidemiological differences among groups, and don't necessarily express causal effects of the various behaviors.
There is also no consideration of quality of life, he noted, "so behavior is evaluated only in terms of adding years to life, rather than life to years."
One possible effect of the analysis might be that people would think of trading off microlives -- 20 minutes of exercise this morning, for instance, against an extra glass of wine at dinner.
Indeed. there is some evidence that such trade-offs "may not always be unreasonable," Spiegelhalter noted. One major study found that four risk factors for mortality -- smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and diet -- - were actually independent, he noted.
Whether communication risks in terms of microlives would have any effect on behavior remains uncertain and will need study, Spiegelhalter noted.
"But one does not need a study to conclude that people do not generally like the idea of getting older faster," he concluded.
The journal said Spiegelhalter reported no external support and that he had no potential conflicts.

In Doriath, Túrin Turambar and Beleg Strongbow were great friends and comrades in arms. Through a tragic mistake, Túrin caused the death of one of King Thingol's courtiers, and fled the land where he had grown up. After many adventures in the wild, he joined himself to an outlaw band who eventually came to the occupy the hill known as Amon Rûdh. This was the old home of a family of Petty-dwarves, Mîm and his sons, who gave his home over to the outlaws in ransom for his life.
One day in the midst of winter, Beleg sought out his old friend Túrin, and they formed an alliance to defend that region against the Orcs of Morgoth. Túrin took a new name, Gorthol, from the dreadful helm of his ancestors that Beleg had brought to him. Together with Túrin's outlaws, they commanded a land that stretched from the River Teiglin in the north to the edges of Doriath in the south and east. This land was given the name Dor-Cúarthol, the "Land of Bow and Helm"; the name comes from Beleg's great bow and the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin borne by Túrin.
The land of Dor-Cúarthol was to survive for less than a year. Perceiving that "Gorthol" was truly Túrin the son of Húrin, Morgoth sent his spies to watch the lands around Amon Rûdh. Mîm the Petty-dwarf, whose mansions the Two Captains had occupied, struck a bargain with the captain of Morgoth's Orcs, and betrayed Beleg and Túrin. The outlaws were routed, Beleg was left for dead, and Túrin was captured and led away to the north. Though Beleg in fact survived, and later rescued Túrin, this was the end of the short-lived land of Dor-Cúarthol.

The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)
Closed-door negotiations are continuing on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which could potentially impact the way the Internet works for American taxpayers, innovators and the global Internet community. Because the Obama Administration has kept citizens, many-stakeholders and Congress in the dark, little is known about the intellectual property (IP) rights chapter of TPP beyond rumors and a February 2011 U.S. draft proposal. While we share the agreements stated goal of strengthening IP rights protections, the process should be done openly and collaboratively, with any outcome protecting individual rights and the expanding vibrancy and growth of the Internet. To date, we believe that TPP falls short.
Intellectual Property Rights Chapter
With careful consideration, and in response to the Administration's continued refusal to negotiate transparently and inclusively, we have opened the February 2011 United States TPP proposal for public comment, edits and improvements here in the Madison platform. We invite the Administration and other TPP negotiating countries to listen to your input, because we believe you deserve better than more back-room deal-making that could result in a legally-binding product that harms the Internet, does little to enhance IP protections, and further erodes your ability to freely access information. And as we have learned from SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, the public has a strong desire for the Federal government to engage in an open and collaborative process on matters impacting the Internet. Listening to your input and working with you can lead to better results for stakeholders, innovators and individual Internet users.
Sign up or log in with Facebook – as an individual, business or stakeholder – to be heard as we work to open and improve the secretive TPP.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Just days after winning its 15th consecutive New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title, four members of the MIT men's tennis team were selected for All-Conference honors, as announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon. This is the second year in a row that four players have been selected.
In addition to the two singles players and one doubles team being named to the All-Conference team, the Engineers received three of the five individual awards. Head coach Dave Hagymas was named NEWMAC Coach of the Year, junior Edwin Zhang (Falls Church, Va.) received NEWMAC Athlete of the Year accolades and senior Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.) was named the Tournament Most Outstanding Player. This is the fifth time in Hagymas' eight years at MIT that he has won the Coach of the Year award.
Zhang and freshman Kevin Wang (Havertown, Pa.) were named to the singles team. So far this season, Zhang has a record of 12-5, playing all of his matches in the No. 1 position. He wrapped up the NEWMAC tournament with two doubles wins. This is the third year in a row that Zhang has received All-Conference nods. Wang is 11-2 this season, going 6-1 at No. 3, 3-0 at No. 2 and 1-0 in the top spot. This weekend, Wang walked away with victories in both doubles matches and at No. 3 singles after winning a tiebreaker.
Senior Matthew Skalak (Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.) and Zhang were named to the doubles All-Conference team with their record of 4-2 at No. 1.
The list of teams that have made it to the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Tournament will be released on Monday, May 6, while the list of individuals who will be invited will come out on Wednesday, May 8. The Engineers have made appearances in the last seven national tournaments.

Daily Flash Fiction no. 2
The Old Truck
He laughed, and then thought it odd to have laughed just then. It was just that now, after everything, it seemed absurd they had been so sad last year when the cat died. He looked across the dry backyard, and laughed again. "That pinche truck, that pinche, red truck." They had bought it on Valentine's Day—what, like seventeen years ago?—and they had laughed about buying a red truck on Valentine's Day. And then he cried, as the yard turned red in the sunset light. This very morning, his wife had been alive, she had seen the sun this very morning. He looked across the yard at the red truck, and he thought about Valentine's Day.

Our feature this week isn't a quilt, but it's been made with great skill and eye for detail:
Kelli of Seriously…I think it needs stitches made this lovely lil donkey using a Ric Rac pattern (designed by Jodie Carleton). Isn't is superb? Thank you for sharing, Kelli!
And I have a couple of finishes to report:
Another drawstring bag – this one is the size from Jeni's tutorial, so you can make one too. I used the eye-catching Modernology range by Pat Bravo, which was provided by Hantex Ltd. If you're in the UK and want to buy some, there's a list of Hantex stockists here. If you're in the US/Canada and want to buy Pat Bravo fabrics, Fabricworm and Fat Quarter Shop sell them. It's a really beautiful line – silky and rich in detail and colour.
I also finished this 16″ pillow:
It uses the same block that I used in the Je'taime Le Thames bag (below) that I designed for Fat Quarterly online magazine – the Britannia edition, with my tote bag along with a stunning array of other patterns, is still available to download.
Tomorrow I'm taking a coach trip to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Ally Pally, and I am SO excited!! I'll share my goodies next week. What are you up to this weekend?

Prep notebook: Loveland's upset ends Legacy softball's 70-game unbeaten streak
In a week that saw streaks end — Mullen football's 34 wins in a row, Jefferson football's 29 losses in a row — what's a 70-game softball unbeaten streak?
Loveland softball took down previously unbeaten, four-time defending Class 5A champion and top-ranked Legacy 2-1 on Tuesday.
Legacy softball had been 69-0-1 during the streak, the lone blemish coming during the 2009 season against Broken Arrow (Okla.) in the Erie Tournament. It dated to the 2008 season, with the last loss coming to Rocky Mountain.
Tuesday, Anna Gerhard's first-inning two-run home run held up behind pitcher Cassidy Smith's solid outing: seven hits, four strikeouts.

I am attempting to make a list of benefits felt by the number of people who are using LDN and/or statins in addition to as an antibiotic regime. I know quite a few people do and I know who some of you are, but I would like to know how much you think you have been helped by using more than one of these "alternative" regimes. Once I was diagnosed with SPMS of a very aggressive nature, I have only used antibiotics so I have no personal knowledge of how these other two things work. I know it is very difficult to know what can be attributed to what but I have always taken the opinion that if something helps you, what does it matter that you can't be sure, apart from the fact that you are spending money on all three things. People who are thinking of starting antibiotics, often ask me if it will be alright to take them with either statins or LDN. The answer is yes, so long as, in the case of statins, you have your liver function tested from time to time, but I never know what to say for sure if they ask about the benefits.
So please, either reply below or send me a PM, because I do get an awful lot of people asking me about this.

To the Editor:
This is in response to a letter written to the editor that thanked Senator Martins in the July 11-17 edition of the Herald. I do not understand how anyone can thank a senator for hurting the taxpayers of the Elmont Public Library. This has to do with Senator Martins's refusal to sign papers to release a $100,000 grant to the library.
The lie Senator Martins is trying to sell to everyone is that he is pulling the grant from the library and giving the grant to the Elmont school district. To set the record straight, there are two separate grants—one for the library and one for the school. So why punish the library and everyone who uses the library? The board had planned to use the grant for solar energy; anytime you can cut energy cost, everyone benefits.
Since I have been on the library board, it has voted each and every year not to raise taxes. The library serves everyone and has programs for all ages. So why is Senator Martins punishing children, seniors, veterans and patrons? The board was only going to use that grant to cut energy consumption. Call Senator Martins and ask him why he does not believe going green is a good idea? Call him and ask him why he has to hurt seniors again? While you are at it, ask him why seniors are not getting a $350 rebate from the state in 2014. If you need the senator's number, the library staff can help you.
This senator needs to learn that he is a senator for everyone in his district and not just a senator for those in the Republican party who follow orders. If you need to know about the $350 rebate gimmick, give me a call because I do not understand how giving someone who earns $300,000 a year $350 more is a good idea.

The White House said today it has no plans to offer new proposals to avoid the fiscal cliff which looms over the country's economy just five days from now, but will meet Friday with Congressional leaders in a last ditch effort to forge a deal.
Republicans and Democrats made no conciliatory gestures in public today, despite the urgency.
The White House said President Obama would meet Friday with Democratic and Republican leaders. But a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the Republican(s) "will continue to stress that the House has already passed legislation to avert the entire fiscal cliff and now the Senate must act."
The White House announced the meeting after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the budget situation "a mess" and urged the president to present a fresh proposal.
"I told the president I would be happy to look at whatever he proposes, but the truth is we're coming up against a hard deadline here, and as I said, this is a conversation we should have had months ago," McConnell said of his phone call with Obama Wednesday night.
McConnell added, "Republicans aren't about to write a blank check for anything Senate Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff."
"That having been said, we'll see what the president has to propose," the Republican Senate leader said.
But a senior White House official told ABC News, "There is no White House bill."
That statement, however, may have wiggle room. Earlier today White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "I don't have any meetings to announce," but a short time later, Friday's meeting was made public.
It's unclear if the two sides are playing a game of political chicken or whether the administration is braced for the fiscal cliff.
Earlier today, fiscal cliff, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lashed out at Republicans in a scathing speech that targeted House Republicans and particularly Boehner.
