Drawing as a Process of Development
Alfonso Melero Beviá and Luis Ortiz Martínez
1.311 billion inhabitants are currently living in India. In just one century the population of our planet has grown from 1.5 to 7.4 billion and the consequences of this enormous growth are already noticeable. The United Nations has been deeply involved in dealing with the issue of overpopulation since 1969, when UNFPA was created.
This issue has been addressed and discussed over the last centuries from an almost exclusively socio-political point of view, resulting in a number of theories which in many cases adversely affect the population's personal freedom. It has been treated exclusively as a matter of numbers to reduce. In this project we have analysed the historical impact of 4 of these demographic theories: Malthusianism theory, Neo-Malthusianism theory, Antinatalism and Social Darwinism.
'1311' portrays a future city, which does not fight the overpopulated reality that it faces. It accepts it and tries to adapt to it through remodelling a resource management network. This is not an ultimate answer to the problem, it is about defining a system, a workflow and a way of thinking and using a series of strategies which allow us to address an oncoming future. Therefore, this is not a solution, but a proposal.
The current city model is built as a completely artificial environment which implies a real threat to biodiversity, and where it is developing, by its own morphology, a limited access to the urban resources. The hierarchy of space according to automation level contributes to the ineffectiveness of urban production processes. All of this increases urban inequalities.
Conclusively the current city model cannot and should not grow indefinitely, although this is precisely what currently is being demanded with huge polycentric cities managed as a single environment.
In contrast, the adjoining micro-cities model we present consists of a number of autonomous and mutually independent small clusters, with the only connection being the physical distance that separates them. We have changed the idea of a sectorial subdivided the city to become small side-by-side and autonomous settlements. This adjoining micro-cities model is limitlessly repeatable.
The issue we are dealing with happens globally so it is designed for a possible implementation in different and multiple territories, but a place to develop the model as a trial process is required. We chose New Delhi to define the model since it is the capital city of the next most overcrowded country on Earth.
In the adjoining micro-city, the point of production is the city itself, the resources needed to be transported are therefore minimal. Every micro-city is self-sufficient and enables, as opposed to the current linear metabolism model, a cyclical metabolism in which consumption does not lead to waste, but provides the supply and production line conforming now a single mechanism.
Cyclical metabolism is understood not only from the operational point of view but also from its morphology and hierarchy. It keeps the advantages of the informal city within the contemporary processes: better access to the operating services of the city, fast resilience and an improved capability of adapting equipment and services to the newly integrated parts of the city as well as to the adjoining social context with the result being a full and true integration.
In one of these micro-cities we highlight three scenarios where the whole supply process happens, together with the unavoidable social reassignments:
Firstly, a set of physical processes are carried out on the river bank. Having the social and cultural influence that The Yamuna river has on the Indian culture in mind, the installation of this alternative system contributes to the empowerment of the area, providing a higher visibility to the processes and reuse the abandoned constructions.
Every micro-city needs a social hub which offers an identity. Most of the processes are executed in this hub and from here pre-treated water will be distributed to every dwelling, as well as the energy obtained through the anaerobic digestion of the surplus of organic material from water treatment, which will be distributed to the streets of the settlement.
The last process is carried out on the roof-top of each dwelling. The designed structures for piped water also create a three-dimensional public space which redistributes pedestrian traffic and offers more opportunities. Roads are intended for fast traffic and distribution of crops which allows a higher efficiency and enables faster travel between the micro-cities.
Who influences you graphically?
We are in a continuous search for graphic influences in architecture and non-architecture projects, which we find mostly thanks to the dissemination made by digital platforms. Graphical influences come to us also through mutual sharing of ideas and projects with friends and people close to us.
Atelier Bow-Wow's Graphic Anatomy or Archigram drawings among others influences are part of our background and although they have not been a direct influence on these drawings, they have helped us in the past years to build a way of drawing.
The future New York City drawn by Harvey Wiley Corbett or drawings in "King's Dream of New York" and "King's Views of New York" at the beginning of XX century have been also a source of inspiration to develop a graphic way to explain our project.
What defined the method of representation of the Project?
Drawings are a project themselves, and as such, during its development they have been modified, repeated and adapted to the needs of the architecture project.
They have been progressively completed, adding information and modifying what had already been drawn in order to make them more comprehensible. Each drawing has been thought in different information scales so that many layers can be read as we go deeper into them. Therefore, the method of representation has been defined by the amount and kind of information we needed to show in each drawing.
How do the comic strips sit in relation to the axonometric?
Comic strips are used to describe complex processes in an easy and understandable way. These processes are those where the project is being implemented and so that, it is very important to explain them in order to make the proposal understandable.
What programs did you use?
We used Rhinoceros+Vray, AutoCAD, Photoshop and Illustrator.
What is your take on the axonometric as the most complete form of drawing?
Architecture and reality itself has three dimensions, therefore it is necessary rethink, project and draw it taking this into account
The project comes through a loop of research, elaboration of a proposal and its corresponding drawings. While drawing, project opportunities are constantly found so it is necessary to start again the research to improve the proposal by redrawing or modifying the old drawings. Therefore, three-dimensional drawing has been an essential tool, not only to describe the project, but also to develop it.
What is your take on colour? What is the effect of the presence and absence of this?
Colour is mostly a way to highlight relevant information and avoid that all that has been drawn to contextualise could distract the reader. It is also used to draw a hidden information layer, parallel to architecture, where processes to make architecture possible are described.

The Main Naval Parade in St Petersburg
July 30, 2017
An entire parade in two minutes
St Petersburg
Vladimir Putin arrived in St Petersburg on Navy Day to review the Main Naval Parade held in the Neva and inner harbour of Kronstadt.
In accordance with the Presidential Executive Order of July 27, 2017, the Main Naval Parade was held for the first time in Russia's modern history. The parade featured the passing of ships and a marine air force unit overflight. Sailors from the Baltic, Black Sea, Northern and Pacific fleets and the Caspian Flotilla participated in the parade.
* * *
Speech at the Main Naval Parade
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Comrade sailors, midshipmen, petty officers, officers and admirals,
Dear veterans,
My congratulations on Navy Day!
This holiday is celebrated in each Russian region and with special solemnity, at the bases and in the garrisons of the Northern, Pacific, Baltic, Black Sea fleets and the Caspian Flotilla.
Russia's history is inseparable from the victories of its courageous and fearless Navy. Our country's status as a strong marine power has been achieved through the brave acts of sailors and officers, the inventive talent of our shipbuilders and the daring exploits of sea explorers.
Throughout the centuries, the fortitude and tenacity of Russian sailors was tempered in battles. Both on land and at sea, they mastered their military skills, strengthened the traditions of their unique naval brotherhood.
During the Great Patriotic War the Navy fought to the bitter end on the coasts and sea borders of our native lands. The Battles of Odessa and Sevastopol, heroic deeds of the Northern Sea Fleet sailors, legendary raids by Soviet submarines, the defence of Leningrad and the impregnable Kronstadt have been forever enshrined in the chronicles of history.
The Navy and commitment to Fatherland are inseparable. As Admiral Nakhimov used to say, a sailor has neither an easy nor difficult path, but rather a glorious one.
And everyone currently serving, in our ground forces and submarines, in the marine air force, in the coastal defence, and those who work in the shipbuilding industry, all are faithful to these vows. Their high moral and professional qualities have been and will remain the foundation of successful service in the Navy, and the state will offer its full support.
Much is being done today for the development and renovation of the Navy. New ships are being commissioned, the fleet's combat training and readiness are being perfected.
Seamanship is chosen by the vigorous and strong-willed, by those who dare to defy the elements, who cannot imagine themselves without the sea, without difficult and noble service to their Fatherland.
Today the Navy is not only solving its traditional tasks but is also nobly responding to new challenges, making a significant contribution to the fight against terrorism and piracy.
The children and grandchildren of today's sailors will take pride in their forefathers. Of this I am certain. Because your exemplary training, promptness and discipline are borne out during both training exercises and combat operations.
I want to express gratitude to those who wait for you in your homes and keep you warm with their love.
Thank you for your readiness and your ability to solve the most complicated tasks, for your worthy service and your unwavering allegiance to our Motherland and to our people.
Glory to the Navy!
Happy holiday!

Visit to Naval Cathedral of St Nicholas in Kronstadt
On Navy Day, Vladimir Putin visited the Stavropegial Naval Cathedral of St Nicholas in Kronstadt accompanied by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and Russian Defence Minister Serge Shoigu.
The President toured the cathedral and spoke with sailors and Kronstadt residents there.
Ahead of Navy Day, on July 27, a shrine with the relics of Saint Blessed Warrior Fyodor Ushakov was brought to the cathedral from the Sanaksar Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God. This year marks the bicentenary of Ushakov's demise. The President came up to kiss the relics of Admiral Ushakov and Apostle Andrew the First-Called.
The Stavropegial Naval Cathedral of St Nicholas was laid down in the fortress city of Kronstadt after Emperor Nicholas II's 1903 decree in honour of the bicentenary of the Russian Navy and was blessed in Royal presence in 1913. In 1929 the Cathedral was closed down and pillaged. In 2002, Alexis II, the Holy Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, blessed the resurrection of the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt. Restoration works ran through the spring of 2013. The grand blessing of the cathedral was conducted on May 28, 2013 by His Beatitude Theophilos III, Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and His Holiness Patriarch Kirill. The abbot of the cathedral is Archimandrite Alexei Ganzhin. The cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is protected by the state.

William Franklin Billy Graham, Jr born on November 7 1918 is an American evangelical Christian evangelist ordained as a southern Baptist minister.
Billy graham rose to celebrity status in 1949 reaching a core constituency of middle class moderately conservative protestant.
He held large indoor and outdoor rallies, sermons were broadcast on radio and television while some are still re-broadcasted today. Graham is known for holding the annual Billy graham crusade which he started in 1947 until his retirement in 2005. He also held the popular radio show "hour of decision" from 1950 to 1954.
Graham is the eldest of four children born to morrow and William franklin graham. Graham grew up on a family dairy farm near charlotte north Carolina. He was raised in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian by his parent.
Graham is of Scottish and irish descent. When graham was five years he focused on the outdoors but he rarely could walk.
At this time also he started as a student at Sharon grammar school. He started to read books at an early age especially reading novels to the boys. Like Tarzan, he would hang on the trees, and gave the popular Tarzan yell, scaring both horses and drivers.
According to his father, that yelling had led him to become a minister.
In 1933, when he was fourteen, as prohibition in the United States ended, Graham's father forced him and his sister Katherine to drink beer until they got sick, which created such an aversion that both avoided alcohol and drugs for the rest of their lives.
After Graham was turned down for membership in a local youth group because he was "too worldly" Albert McMakin, who worked on the Graham farm, persuaded him to go and see the evangelist MORDECIA HAMS.
According to his autobiography, Graham was converted in 1934, at age 16 during a series of revival meetings in Charlotte led by Ham. After graduating from Sharon High School in May 1936, Graham attended BOB JONES COLLEGE,which was then located in cleveland, Tennessee.
After one semester, he found it too legalistic in both coursework and rules. At this time, he was influenced and inspired by Pastor Charley Young from Eastport Bible Church.
He was almost expelled, but Bob jones Sr. warned him not to throw his life away: "At best, all you could amount to would be a poor country Baptist preacher somewhere out in the sticks…. You have a voice that pulls.
God can use that voice of yours. He can use it mightily."
Graham wrote of receiving his "calling on the 18th green of the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club", which is immediately in front of today's Sutton Hall at Florida College. Reverend Billy Graham Memorial Park was established on the HILLSBROUGH RIVER directly east of the 18th green and across from where Graham often paddled a canoe to a small island in the river, where he would preach to the birds, alligators, and cypress stumps. Graham eventually graduated from Wheaton college in Wheaton, Illinios with a degree in Anthropology in 1943.
On August 13, 1943, Graham married Wheaton classmate RUTH BELL (1920–2007), whose parents were Presbyterian missionaries in China. Her father, L. NELSON. BELL, was a general surgeon. Ruth Graham died on June 14, 2007, at the age of 87.
Graham served briefly as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Illinois, not far from Wheaton, in 1943–44. While there, his friend [Torrey Johnson], pastor of the Midwest Bible Church in [Chicago], told Graham that his radio program, Songs in the Night, was about to be canceled due to lack of funding.
Consulting with the members of his church in Western Springs, Graham decided to take over Johnson's program with financial support from his congregation.
Launching the new radio program on January 2, 1944, still called Songs in the Night, Graham recruited the bass-baritone George Beverely Shea as his director of radio ministry.
While the radio ministry continued for many years, Graham decided to move on in early 1945. In 1947, at age 30, he was hired as president of Northwestern Bible College in Minneapolis—at the time, the youngest person to serve as a sitting president of any U.S. college or university. Graham served as the president from 1948 to 1952.
Graham was a spiritual adviser to American presidents; Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon b. Johnson and Richard Nixon. Graham invited martin Luther King JR to preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. Graham bailed King Luther out of jail in 1960 when king was arrested.
Graham operates a variety of media and publishing outlets. More than 3.2 billion people have responded to the invitation at Billy Graham's crusades to accept Jesus as their "personal savior" according to his workers. Graham's estimated audience including radio and television broadcast, topped 2.2 billion.
Because of his crusade Graham has preached the gospel to people in person more than anyone in the history of Christianity.
In 1953 rally in Chattanooga, Graham tore down the rope that the organisers had put up to separate the audience following racism. He said in his words that he had told two of the ushers to pull the barrier down or they can go on to have the revival without him.
In 1957 graham allowed African American minister Thomas Kilgore and Gardner Taylor to serve as members of his New York crusade's executive committee and invited the Rev Martin Luther King to join him at the pulpit at his 16- week revival in New York, here Graham's stance towards integration became more publicly shown.
Despite the friendship, tension emerged between Martin Luther King and Graham in 1958 when the sponsoring committee of a crusade which took place in San Antonio Texas on july 25 arranged for Graham to be introduced by the state's segregationist governor Price Daniel. KING sent a letter to Graham saying that allowing Daniel to speak at a crusade can best be" interpreted as your endorsement of racial segregation and discrimination".
Graham's advisor GRADY WILSON replied to king that "even though we do not see eye to eye with him on every issue, we still love him in Christ". The two still remained friends and king told a Canadian television audience the following year that Graham has taken a great stance on against segregation.
Graham's faith prompted his maturing view of race and segregation, he told a member of the kkk that integration is important primarily for religious reasons "there is no scriptural basis for segregation" Graham argued.
In april 2013 the Graham evangelist association started "my hope with Billy Graham" which happened to be the largest outreach in its history, encouraging church members to spread the gospel in small group meetings. The idea was for Christians to follow the example of one of the disciples; matthew in the new testament.
Graham has had parkinson's disease since 1992. Graham said his planned retirement was due to his failing health. In 2005 Graham appeared at the ground breaking of his library in charlotte, then 86 he used a walker during the ceremony.
In April 2010 at 91 and with substantial vision and hearing loss, made a rare public appearance at the rededication of the renovated Graham's library.
Graham has preached Christianity to live audience of nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings including BMS WORLD MISSION and GLOBAL MISSION.
He has also reached hundreds of millions more through webcast, television, film and video.

Differential Diagnosis in PT, P-05: When to Screen for Systemic Disease and When to Refer (U)
Physical therapists must be able to identify signs and symptoms of systemic disease that can mimic neuromuscular or musculoskeletal (referred to as neuromusculoskeletal or NMS) dysfunction. It is critical for physical therapists to be well versed at determining when referral to a physician (or other appropriate health care professional) is necessary.
The instructional focus of this course is on developing advanced clinical reasoning skills related to determining a client's appropriateness for physical therapy. The course builds on concepts of evidence based clinical practice as they are used to identify conditions that might mimic neuromuscular or musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner will be able to:
- List the 4 essential questions posed during a clinical examination to determine pain patterns for patients with systemic disease
- Describe 3 clinical scenarios when screening for systemic or viscerogenic causes of neuromusculoskeletal problems is necessary.
- Identify the 3 guidelines used during the overall screening process of an adult client in the clinic setting.
- Given a patient case problem, including history, noted red flags of physical findings, learner will differentiate a cluster of 3 symptoms typical of the endocrine system problems in that patient and design an appropriate treatment protocol based on the factors provided to apply to that patients program

Cheddar and Bacon Mini Hasselback Potatoes
Slicing potatoes Hasselback-style makes them extra tender, and melting grated cheddar cheese on top means these one-bite appetizers are perfect for your game-day gathering. Be sure to scrape up the crisp melted cheese in the pan!
How to Make It
Make crosswise cuts 1/8 in. apart across each potato, down to 1/4 in. from bottom. (For easy slicing, set a potato between two parallel rulers or dowels.) Preheat oven to 425°.
In a large bowl, coat potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place potatoes cut side up in a 9- by 13-in. baking pan. Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced, about 45 minutes (check the biggest one to be sure they're all tender). Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until cool enough to handle.
Sprinkle cheese over potatoes, pushing it into cuts, then bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a platter and let cool for a few minutes. If you like, return pan with cheese to oven and bake until cheese is crisp, about 10 minutes.
Top each potato with a small dollop of yogurt, then sprinkle potatoes and platter with bacon and chives.

South Florida roads are all about vehicles, getting motorists to destinations quickly with little thought given to pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation users.
But a growing number of South Florida communities are beginning to think that roads shouldn't be all about the motorist. They're starting to think their roads should be "Complete Streets," available to everyone, and are adopting policies to reflect that.
Complete Streets, a concept championed by the National Complete Streets Coalition, make it easy to cross roads, walk to shops, bike to work or catch a bus.
Roads can accommodate not only cars but also pedestrians and bicyclists, providing an infrastructure and welcoming environment for non-motorized traffic.
"It's more than just having sidewalks and bike lanes," said Bret Baronak, pedestrian and bicycle coordinator for the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization. "We have roads [in the county] with bike lanes and sidewalks, but are they still conducive to biking and walking? That can be debated. … It's having that environment with equal access for everyone and accommodating them comfortably."
The Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization recently approved Complete Street guidelines to help the county's municipalities transform their roads.
Cities such as Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park and Pompano Beach have begun the process of adopting Complete Street policies.
"Folks really do want to change," said Patrice Gillespie Smith, program manager for Urban Health Solutions, which helped develop the Broward guidelines. "Broward residents want to drive less."
Two years ago, Boca Raton changed its long-term growth and development plan to reflect a Complete Streets philosophy.

Hyundai South Korea has taken the wraps off the Avante Sport which will come to the U.S. as the 2017 Elantra Sport.
About two months ago, Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski announced plans to introduce the 2017 Elantra Sport this November at SEMA. You won't have to wait until then to see the car because at home in South Korea the model has already been revealed on the company's website. It's called the "Avante Sport" in K.D.M. specification and most likely the U.S. model is going to look virtually the same.
The regular model is already quite attractive, but this one is even more appealing as a result of the slightly more aggressive body. There's a beefier front bumper with larger air intakes and horizontal (instead of vertical) LED daytime running lights. The grille has gained a red "Sport" badge and we also notice the modified headlight graphics now featuring red accents.
The side profile reveals more prominent skirts and 18-inch alloy wheels (with 225/40 R18 tires) which will be available in several designs. The back of the car is home to a redesigned bumper hosting a faux diffuser and a pair of exhaust tips finished in chrome. In addition, the taillights appear to look sharper thanks to the different LED signature.
More importantly, the 2017 Avante/Elantra Sport benefits from a multi-link rear suspension, so it should prove to be more fun to drive. Its heart and soul is a turbocharged 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine developing 204 PS in the Avante Sport, so the Elantra U.S. Spec will have about 200-202 horsepower (almost 150 kilowatts). As far as torque is concerned, the Korean version has 27 kg-m, so in pound-feet that would be 195 lb-ft (265 Nm).
To please everyone, Hyundai will sell the car (at least at home) with a standard six-speed manual gearbox and an optional seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic. It won't take down any Nürburgring records, but the Elantra/Avante Sport will be able to hit 62 mph (100 kph) in a fairly decent eight seconds.
Besides the bolder exterior and stronger hardware, the range-topping Elantra/Avante will have a slightly more exciting interior with faux carbon fiber accents, sporty seats, red accents, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. In its domestic market, the car will be available with an optional "Extreme Package" containing different 18-inch rims, a rear spoiler, along with some performance parts.
Since the American version will be showcased at SEMA in November, expect an online reveal to occur in October or even sooner.

Compared - Effortless Dentist Solutions
Part of Dental Services For Healthy Teeth
It's interesting exactly how some individual could undergo their lives without ever before requiring anything greater than the standard oral solutions. On the other hand, there are those people which need to put on braces for many years or have orthodontic and prosthodontic procedures carried out often. Nonetheless, dental experts have a whole lot even more to do with orthodontic health than cosmetic treatments. Poor orthodontic health and wellness leads to soreness and also discomfort along with the probability of disease.
Maintenance and prevention
Another one of the vital target locations of all dental practitioners is the problem of maintenance and also avoidance with upkeep being the trick to far better orthodontic wellness and also avoidance being the evasion of dental conditions and also various other issues by practicing proper dental health. The upkeep and also prevention regimen normally consists of two checkups annually that include professional cleansing along with examining the condition of one's teeth as well as gums.
The value of picking a good dental companies
New treatments for boosting dental hygiene and the health and wellness of a person's teeth are being created regularly which has lead to the need for even more customized oral experts that do these procedures. When you initially start looking for a household or personal dentist, it is very vital that you select the appropriate dental companies.
This isn't really constantly simple as there are essentially hundreds being promoted everyday. Just look in your local area yellow web pages or search online to obtain a concept of the amount of options that are currently available. Just keep in mind that no two dental practitioners are ever before alike. So when you think about exactly how important they are where orthodontic health and wellness and also health is concerned, it is very important that you select the right orthodontic services provider.
Tips for picking emergency dentist the most effective dental expert
For the sake of keeping the best dental health possible, you should choose the best dental practitioner to resolve you and also your family members's needs. Below are some tips regarding choosing the very best dental practitioner and also the services provider:
o Make a list of all the dental experts in your area and also figure out exactly what orthodontic solutions every one offers. Some supply aesthetic services while others do not, so make sure to learn.
o Choose the particular services that you as well as your household demand. Ask about the scientific experience and also any sort of unique training the dental practitioner has had in these locations.
o Inquire about their emergency orthodontic solutions policies so you know that if an orthodontic concern develops outside regular workplace hrs that you can have it cared for.
o Figure out the location of their workplaces. It is important to have one fairly near to you if there is a therapy needing regular sees or if there is an emergency situation.
o Take a look at the problem of the orthodontic office and also the health of the dental professional as well as their aides as well as office workers.
Every one of these issues are exceptionally vital when it concerns picking the very best dental professional and the dental solutions that they provide. Keep in mind, your teeth as well as gums rely on you making the best choice.

Blind Date
"She'll like him," he said.
"He's good looking," he said.
"Ask her," he said.
So I did. He was a boyfriend I had in high school named Ed. He was a few years older and in college. He was studying accounting, but he should have been in advertising or marketing.
She was my twin sister Karol. Ed wanted me to help him arrange a blind date for his supposedly attractive friend named Ted and my sister.
I begged her, and the deal was sealed.
When they arrived, Karol and I were both surprised. The tall, dark stranger we had both envisioned was shorter-than-us and red-haired, and, sadly, please-put-a-bag-over-your-head unattractive.
The guys were in the kitchen making small talk with our mother, and Karol dragged me bodily into the living room. She hissed, "I am not going out with him!"
I replied, "Ed said he was good looking. I can't help it. We can't turn back now."
After more whining, she was resigned.
In the car, I sat up front with Ed, who I had dated a couple of times, and she and Greg sat in the back. We went bowling. I don't remember the game, but I was still in the throes of new-found love.
Karol apparently had had enough though. When we got the Pizza Hut, she suggested we go to the bathroom, which was sister-code for "we need to talk." Slyly, she playfully suggested we "trick the boys," by switching clothes and pretending to be the other. Oddly, as identical twins we had never done this–assumed each other's identity. Somehow, she made it seems like fun without any negative consequences.
We proceeded to switch everything: shirts, jeans, shoes, belts, jewelry. A total transformation.
As we approached the guys, she said I should sit on the booth side with Ted and she with Ed. We sat down. All seemed fine. Until we tried to talk a little, and that gave us a way. Ed noticed right away. This probably would have worked on a first date, but not a third or fourth.
In my mind, I was thinking it was time to switch back, but Karol apparently had not thought the same. She may have had an ulterior motive. So we remained in our new seats all through the meal.
Then, quicker than me, she rode shotgun on the way home too while I brooded in the back with Ted. Thankfully, she wasn't interested in Ed, only in getting away from Ted, the red-headed blunder.
Somehow, Ed must have known. He never asked her to double date again.
Lesson: Be careful of what he said and of what she asked.

New survey from JLL and the Federation of European Self Storage Associations shows opportunities across the sector
5th October 2016 - New research from JLL and the Federation of European Self Storage Associations (FEDESSA) highlights a buoyant self storage market with room for further growth and investment opportunities.The survey of key operators, investors and funders in the sector from across Europe shows that there has been €500 m of transactions over the last year, an increase of 25% on 2015.Urbanisation is a strong driver for self storage demand. JLL research shows that across Europe 75% of people live in cities and that this number is expected to continue to rise. There is more than 7.7m sq m (80 m sq ft) of self storage across Europe.The UK market remains the largest market comprising 39% of the total number of European facilities, but with the expectation that there will be significant expansion in the next few years across the rest of Europe.The survey also highlights increased optimism in the sector with 80% of respondents saying that they feel that 2016 would be a better year for increasing profitability.Other findings include:
Ollie Saunders, Lead Director in JLL's Alternatives team, commented: "The self storage industry is confident in its future with opportunities to develop and consolidate across a number of markets which are at different stages of maturity. With strong user demand, along with increasing awareness and urbanisation, coupled with capital finding the asset a reliable and predictable alternative asset, the next 12 months look positive. "In a crowded real estate market, investors are finding it increasingly challenging to allocate capital in traditional real estate sectors. This is encouraging investors into alternative markets such as self storage. Alternative assets are attractive due to low interest rates, improving user demand and a favourable supply and demand equation."The full report can be downloaded here.

Book Notes - Mallory Kasdan "Ella"
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
Previous contributors include Bret Easton Ellis, Kate Christensen, Kevin Brockmeier, T.C. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, Jesmyn Ward, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.
Mallory Kasdan's brilliant children's book Ella is an inventive take on the classic Eloise, set in a hipster hotel in Brooklyn.
Entertainment Weekly wrote of the book:
"A twist on the classic Eloise, Ella's hipster-chic hotel adventures are full of modern-day trappings--from Manny, her sleeve-tatted male nanny, to Zumba classes and Wi-Fi issues. The playful illustrations, drawn by Marcos Chim, will have you checking in again and again"
Stream a playlist of these songs at Spotify.
In her own words, here is Mallory Kasdan's Book Notes music playlist for her children's book Ella:
Ella, the protagonist of my children's book of the same name, is a six-year old girl, an artisanal Eloise for our modern times. Her Manny, her tutor, and the guys who hang out in the hotel café may expose her to stuff that might be cool or classic, but honestly, Ella's tastes run mostly towards Taylor, Katy and Pharell or whatever is on the radio at the bodega.
These are songs that connect me to the time and place when I wrote Ella, or that inform the imagined life of the character and the people Ella hangs with at the Local Hotel.
1.) Non-stop Disco Power Pack -- Beastie Boys
I love the Beastie Boys and feel they are crucial in conjuring the coolness – imagined or legitimate – of Brooklyn, my home and the inspiration for Ella. Ella and Manny, her nanny who is a man, write their own rhymes while trying to get motivated for their day, and the image of them doing so is my most favorite of Marcos Chin's incredible illustrations in the book.
2.) Elevator Music -- Beck
3.) Think I'm in Love -- Beck
Beck is a soulful, funky, unique virtuoso and also kind of my age so I enjoy that. I regularly listen to Sea Change for flying on airplanes and trying to relax, but this album, "The Information," just makes me want to dance. I hear "Elevator Music" coming out of the speakers on The Local Hotel's elevator while Ella tortures people staring at their phone by making fart noises with her mouth and then looking innocent. "Think I'm in Love" just makes me think of cool people hanging out in the lobby waiting for the limo.
4.) Bad Reputation -- Joan Jett
Ella doesn't have a bad reputation. She's a bit mischievous, a bit annoying maybe, but mostly harmless. However, given the opportunity to rock she most certainly would. I play this song for my own kids and encourage them not to give a crap what people think. It's also the opening song for the amazing but now defunct "Freaks and Geeks," a TV show about high school that I loved.
5.) Hotel Yorba and/or
6.) My Doorbell -- White Stripes
Both these songs seem like good background music for Ella's adventures at The Local – I hear either of them playing in the film montage of the movie version – with ELLA scootering around and running up and down the stairwells with her clipboard. See Jack White below for my specific feelings about him.
7.) Box of Crayons
8.) Pop Up City – The Pop Ups
This is the funniest, catchiest and coolest children's music. Reggae, R & B and soul inform the songs and subject matter ranges from stargazing in Brooklyn to all the kinds of pasta in the world. Ella might think The Pop-Ups are too babyish for her but she can always say she heard them play at a birthday party when she was 4.
(Dance Party interlude section)
These are super fun songs I can see Manny or Judith putting on so that they can have a little dance party downtime on the roof deck.
9.) Get Lucky – Daft Punk
When this song was on the radio all the time a few summers ago I couldn't get enough of it. Joyful, uninhibited, silly.
10.) Hey Ya -- Outkast
This one time ELLA saw Andre3000 at a Broadway show wearing an orange 3 piece suit with matching fedora and umbrella.
11.) Happy – Pharell
Ella digs Pharell and wonders how he manages to look like he's 25.
12.) Uptown Funk –Bruno Mars
I know I'll tire of it soon but it reminds me of all of "The Time" songs like "The Bird" and "Jungle Love." Can't not dance.
Female Singer Songwriter Interlude:
13.) The Wire --Haim
This band is one Judith, Ella's tutor, might push on Ella, as I've pushed them on my own daughter. I've heard Haim interviewed and these young women are super self-aware, collaborative sisters with amazing hair and a totally groovy Fleetwood Mac vibe. I bet they know how to use a loom.
14.) I Feel It All -- Feist
I love female singers who put it out there emotionally with their lyrics and all the Feist albums are incredible. Ella is a happy and carefree kid but she also feels her feelings. She's six, and I bet she'll really feel it all when she's 12.
15.) Polyester Bride -- Liz Phair
I don't know if this is the song I'd definitely choose to indicate the importance and rawness that Liz Phair had for me in college and in my early 20's, but this is an upbeat super positive sounding song from a later album of hers that sounds uplifting, though I don't know that I really understand the lyrics. To me it has the feel of a girl making choices outside of the box, and it talks about buying cowboy boots on sale.
16.) Fidelity
17.) Don't Leave Me (ne me quitte pas) – Regina Spector
Regina Spector is my ultimate walking around NYC music. I love her tweaky, melancholy, romantic lyrics, I love her voice and I just love the piano. "Fidelity" always reminds me of fall in NYC, and "Don't Leave Me" of spring.
17.) Red Dragon Tattoo -- Fountains of Wayne
This song reminds me of freedom and of summertime in Brooklyn, of being young and riding the train out to Coney Island and doing something potentially regrettable. Maybe this one is on Manny's soundtrack. If Ella does get a tattoo, I really hope she gets one on a body part she doesn't regret.
18.) All Alone -- fun.
This song also happens to make me think of Coney Island because of the wind up toy sounds in it. Maybe Manny likes fun. but he probably thinks they are derivative and he's annoyed at their popularity.
19.) I'm Shakin' -- Jack White
Jack White makes me a little bit nervous and a little bit excited. I would really prefer if Ella doesn't date guys like Jack White but I bet she will. Manny is jealous of Jack White but admits that he can shred. I bet Ella would dig the backup singers on this song.
20.) Rafiki Zap Mama with Black Thought and ?uest love
I love Zap Mama. Also, ?uestlove, one of the coolest men in America besides maybe Prince, is involved with this song. True story: my husband once walked up to a hipster dessert and coffee truck parked outside of our daughter's gymnastics/trapeze class in Williamsburg. He tried to order an espresso but the guys working the truck said, "Sorry, you actually can't order a coffee because we're using it right now for a photo shoot. Questlove had the same thing happen to him earlier." And that's the most Brooklyn thing that ever happened to anyone in my family.

Campbellsville Elementary School students recently learned how to make lighter shades of color when painting.
In Adrienne Hash's art class, kindergarteners recently studied how to use white paint to mix lighter shades of color.
Students studied Picasso's painting Les Tuileries to identify light shades of color.
They also discussed artist Wassily Kandinsky, and how he uses many different shades of color in his concentric circles paintings.
After the lesson, students made their own circle paintings, but first used white paint to mix some lighter shades of color.

Is there a recommended time of the day to take it. I take it 10 mg at 7:30 p.m. but wake up with anxiety and nausea. I was on brintellix but really didn't do anything for me.
Today is day two of me taking Lexapro. I feel more anxiety and sick to my stomach?

I'll give that a try. I will break that in half to start. Thank you. @cherrrub
Hi Guavaes,
I found 10 mg too much for me start on due to nausea & anxiety too. I broke the 10 mg pill in half & started on 5 mg. The 5 mg for a week to 10 days will help you adjust more gradually & will help the nausea & anxiety. I found taking it a couple of hours before bed was best as it made me too sleepy during the day. It will be okay. Just give it time. Goid luck!
I will try cutting it in half starting tonight. Thank you. @SLMRDC
Good! I sure hope that helps. Let us know?
I take 5mg of Lexapro at 10am and am tired - BUT I posed the question to my doc. and she said it didn't matter what time it's taken.
Personally what I think makes me very tired is the Ativan taken (as needed) to combat the initial anxiety of starting up on Lexapro I'm at day 13.
We're all different. Some people can take it during the day & others like me cannot. Time of day for taking Lexapro deffs made a difference for me. I have to take it in the evening at around 9 pm ... it zonks me if I take it during the day. I felt the sedation set in within 3 hrs when I took it during the day. Ativan can be very sedating... it is often used as a sleep aid... how much Ativan do you take during the day? Ativan plus Lexapro would knock me out if I took both in the daytime. I take Clonazepam before bed to help get to sleep.
Hi SLMRDC -
When I first started Lexapro I took 1mg Ativan in the morning and 1mg at night. Now that I'm in the 14th day I have been instructed to take it "as needed", which has been anywhere from 1mg twice a day (which is no change) to .5mg a day. To your point that Lex. and Ativan would knock you out I do notice that i am tired, haven't exercised since starting Lex. (which is a big deal to me) and that my eyes sting a little like when a person is real tired. I will address these concerns at my next doc. appointment friday.
Good that you are seeing your Doctor Enriko. Hope you can get some help. It sucks feeling that way & I understand needing exercise! It really helps to combat anxiety

"I'll sleep when I'm dead." Have you ever heard someone say that, or even said those words yourself? I have to raise my hand on this one, and judging by the numbers, I'm not alone. According to some sleep researchers, you might just get there quicker too if you're not getting high-quality sleep.
On average, we are getting 20% less sleep than we did just 50-60 years ago. For most of us, this amounts to a nightly reduction of 1.5 – 2 hours of sleep per night. I know, at first glance this doesn't appear to be a big deal, but when you consider that this equates to at least 1 less night of sleep per week for the average person, it really starts to add up.
Ever thought about how you would feel if you skipped one night of sleep per week each and every week? The reality of it is, many of us are doing just that. Considering the fact that more than 40% of American adults report having trouble staying awake during the day, it is clear to see that sleep deprivation is a major problem that gets relatively little attention.
Sleep is crucial to the proper function of every single system of the body, and directly affects your mental, emotional, and physical performance, and we can't escape the consequences of getting too little of it. The consequences of sleep deprivation are not pretty either. Try depression, memory loss, immune system failure, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, obesity, and yes, even premature death.
A large body of evidence exists that most people require between 7-9 hours of sleep each night for optimal function and prevention of disease. Currently, 35% of U.S. adults report sleeping less than 6 hours per night. Compare that to 50 years ago where only 2% of Americans averaged fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night.
Taken as a whole, this is a fairly recent problem. So what went wrong and what can we do about it? I will get into it all shortly, but to gain a better overall understanding, it is necessary to start with a little science. Sleep is broken down into three main stages: light sleep, REM sleep, and deep sleep. The initial stage of sleep is light sleep, followed by REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. REM sleep is critical for brain performance and organizing memory. When in REM sleep, your brain plays back the events of the day deciding what is important and what it should forget – essentially building your memory. When you get high-quality REM sleep, you wake up refreshed and refocused.
Whereas REM sleep is for the brain, deep sleep is for the regeneration of the body. It is during deep sleep where your body releases fat burning and muscle building hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone following that day's workout. This results in an increase in muscle mass, decrease in body fat, and an overall improved recovery of all your body's physical systems. When in deep sleep, your muscles are restored and immunity is built.
Sleep cycles range from 90-120 minutes. Your body cycles from light to REM to deep sleep and then back to light sleep. Depending on the amount of time you sleep, you go through 3-5 cycles of sleep per night.
Ever wonder why you wake up and feel tired in the morning but wide awake when it's time to go to bed? It turns out there is a very good reason for this. The sleep-wake cycle, an important part of our 24-hour biological clock known as the circadian rhythm, affects nearly every aspect of human physiology, including brainwave patterns, hormone production, cell regulation, immune function, and metabolism.
It used to be pretty simple. People woke up when the sun came up and people went to sleep when the sun set. In short, this ensured we produced daytime hormones in the daytime and night time hormones in the evening, which ultimately led to balanced physiology.
Then lightbulbs came along, followed by televisions, computers, iPhones, and iPads – all of which have continually exposed us to more and more light. Circadian rhythms are controlled by what's known as the master clock in the brain. In essence, all of this artificial light has tricked the master clock into thinking it's daytime all the time and prevents it from doing its job appropriately.
Here's how it should work: A person wakes up in the morning feeling refreshed and cortisol levels start to rise. (The purpose is to raise blood sugar and get the body energized for the day.) Cortisol should peak mid-morning. Cortisol then decreases throughout the day, which is important because it directly affects fat storage. Moving into the evening – the sun goes down, light exposure becomes less and less, which signals the body to start producing melatonin (the sleep hormone). Right before bed, cortisol should be at its absolute lowest point and melatonin should be on its way towards peaking. This creates the ideal environment to fall asleep quickly, enter fat-burning mode, and regenerate and rebuild the mind and body.
However, for many, this cycle gets reversed. Can you begin to see the problem when cortisol is at its highest point right before bed? Its role is to energize you, raise blood sugar, and aid in fat storage – three things you absolutely don't need right before bed! Having a lot of energy at night and being excessively tired in the morning is often a sign that your circadian rhythm is out of whack.
If you have been struggling to lose weight, I can't emphasize this point enough: to date, there have been 89 studies on sleep deprivation and weight gain, and 81 of them have shown a positive correlation.
Our hormones and blood sugar regulation changes when we don't get enough sleep. Studies have even shown that just one night of sleep deprivation can make you as insulin dependent as a type 2 diabetic!
I've already mentioned cortisol's role in the process, but there are a few other hormones you need to be aware of. Leptin tells the brain you're full and to stop eating and ghrelin tells your brain to eat more. When you don't sleep, leptin is suppressed and it turns on the transmitter neuropeptide Y, which causes you to crave carbohydrates. It is this process that leads to insulin resistance.
So, in a sleep deprived state, cortisol is high, leptin is low, ghrelin is high, and neuropeptide Y is high. Obviously not a good recipe if weight loss is your goal. If you're constantly craving carbs, or waking up in the middle of the night looking for a sweet fix, this is most likely the explanation.
Okay, so I realize I've painted a fairly depressing picture thus far. However, this is where it gets better. The great news is there are many things you can do, most of which just involve the tweaking of your environment. The following are action steps you can begin taking today to reset your circadian rhythm and start getting great sleep.
- Make sleep a priority. It goes without saying, but the suggestions that follow will prove to be useless if it doesn't begin here. Individual sleep needs will vary, but to start, plan to give yourself at least 8 hours in bed per night. Note: you can't get 8 hours if you only give yourself time for 6. For most of us, that means having to go to bed earlier.
- Minimize screen time. The cells in the eyes that communicate with the master clock are the most sensitive to blue light. Televisions, computers, cell phones, etc. give off an abundance of blue light. Most experts suggest turning these off 2-3 hours before bed time. If that seems too difficult, try for an hour and gradually increase the time. And yes, if you're having trouble sleeping and read from your Kindle every night, you're setting yourself up for failure.
- Dim the lights in the evening. The light bulbs in your home give off blue light as well, although not quite as much. Your body won't make melatonin if your house is lit up like Wrigley Field because it thinks it's still daytime. Instead, you'll produce daytime hormones such as cortisol, leading to that late night "second-wind", higher blood sugar, fat storage, and disrupted sleep. Gradually dim the lights throughout the evening until they are at their lowest setting an hour before bed and notice how you start to feel sleepy. Remember, our bodies are meant to go to sleep when the sun goes down!
- Get daytime light. Getting adequate daytime light is just as important as limiting evening lighting. When you don't get enough real lighting during the day, it's more likely that your rhythms are going to negatively shift when exposed to artificial light in the evening. Sunlight exposure triggers your body to produce optimal levels of daytime hormones and regulates your biological clock. It is critical to get at least 30 minutes of daytime light per day without your sunglasses. The majority of us do not receive this on a regular basis. The body clock is most responsive to sunlight in the early morning, between 6 am and 8:30 am.
- Get to sleep on time. You can get amplified benefits of sleep by sleeping during the right hours. It has been shown that we get the most beneficial hormonal secretions and recovery by sleeping during the hours of 10 pm and 2 am. This is when the magic happens. Sleep experts consider this THE most important sleep of the night while any additional sleep is just considered a bonus. This is the time when melatonin and human growth hormone secretion are at their highest, leading to optimal recovery, repair and rejuvenation of the mind and body. And no, sleeping from 1 am to 9 am is not as good because you are missing out on "magic time." If you're getting at least 8 hours of sleep but are chronically missing out on this "magic time" window, it may be the reason you still feel fatigued when you wake up in the morning.
- Use blackout curtains. Having light sources of any type in your bedroom can suppress melatonin production and disrupt sleep patterns. It is recommended that your room be so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face.
- Lower the temperature. Studies have found the ideal room temperature for sleep to be around 60-68 degrees. Anything too far above or below this range will likely cause some difficulty sleeping.
- Watch the caffeine and alcohol. If you have trouble sleeping, stop consuming caffeine by 2 pm and alcohol 4 hours prior to bedtime. Alcohol significantly disrupts REM sleep, which means you won't be able to fall into deeper levels of sleep – meaning your brain and body won't be able to fully rejuvenate. Those with sleep apnea please take note. Alcohol decreases muscle tone in the upper airway, which exacerbates breathing-related sleep issues where you'll stop breathing more frequently and for longer periods of time.
- Get optimal exercise and physical activity during the day. It does appear that morning exercise leads to higher-quality sleep and more time being spent in reparative deep sleep. However, if you can't make morning exercise work for you, still find time for it later. The benefits of moving your body are crucial to great health and sleep, even if the timing is not perfect in the eyes of the experts.
- Optimize your sleep nutrition. Everyone has an ideal ratio of carbohydrates, fat, and protein that will help them sleep best. Do yourself a favor and start with a big breakfast with plenty of protein and then experiment with what works best for you for lunch and dinner. For most, it will be hard to go wrong with a low-glycemic dinner eaten no later than 3 hours before bed.
- Technology can help. I've already talked about how staring at screens can keep you awake at night. However, at times, you will be left with no choice. Install free software such as f.flux on your computer, which automatically filters out the amount of blue light necessary depending on the time of day. It's super easy and takes less than 5 minutes to do. If you're a little more technologically savvy, it is also available for iPhones and iPads as well. Also, check out lowbluelights.com for other gadgets and devices that will help filter out blue light.
- Consider transdermal magnesium. It is estimated that upwards of 80% of the U.S. population is deficient in magnesium. This mineral is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions, and in short, reduces your body's stress load, thereby improving the quality of your sleep. A large percentage of magnesium supplementation is lost through the digestive process, which can be avoided by rubbing it directly onto the skin right before getting into bed.
In this day and age, it seems as though everyone is looking for the magic pill to lose weight, feel better, age more slowly, and perform better. I suggest that it's entirely possible that it has been right here in front of us all along. The best part is, it's totally free and available to anyone who wants to take advantage of it.
I encourage you to start at the top of the list and continue to work your way down to find what helps you sleep best. Sleep may quite possibly be the magic pill you've been searching for all along.

Tech Know-How: The new way to get ahead for the next generation
This report spells out the tech literacy dividend that can be created, highlighting wage premium & GDP uplift resulting from improved tech capability. Improving technical skills can also help to tackle problems with social mobility.
The results of the study showed most young people have strong foundations to build on when it comes to tech know-how, and are ambitious to improve. Improving the next generation's tech literacy could bring significant economic opportunities for individual young people and UK plc.. However we risk missing out as young people's attitudes to tech differ by bakground, gender and region, and employers risk reinforcing divides within their workforce.

Spend June Escaping the Latest Releases of Eden
June 14, 2013 by dracs
Taban Miniatures may be busy with Escape, but they are not neglecting the main game of Eden as June is seeing a bunch of new for the different factions battling over the post-apocalyptic world.
As you can see we have a great variety of characters here, with two of them sporting some rather cool mechanical modifications.
My particular favourite has to of course be Leonid of the Jokers faction.
This may have something to the fact that I do a bit of circus performance stuff myself, but mostly it is because the sculpt of someone juggling balls of flame is just plain awesome.
Do any of these new releases appeal to you? Remember that you can still pledge your support to the Escape board game on Kickstarter.
