Mr. Gay South Africa™ 2010 – The Insider Viewpoint
Continuing our exploration of the gay side of South Africa, our local correspondent offers his unique insider's perspective on the recent stages of the Mr. Gay SA competition. Click here for the interview with Conraad's Hubby and competition finalist, Karl-Heinz Michel
From l to r: Mr Mardi Gras (Dustin Carr); Miss Mardi Gras (Megan Carreira); 1st Runner-up (Karl-Heinz Michel); & Finalist for Mr White Jocks & Mr Glamour 2010 (Conraad Jonas).
For us, it all started at Pink Loerie – the prestigious gay event held in Knysna, Southa Africa, every April/ May. I had the privilege to attend this fun-filled week with my fellow titleholders of Legends Nightclub. We were not only amongst the VIPs, but performed at or took part in most of the events and competitions. The biggest of these are the Miss and Me. Mardi Gras, and Mr Mardi Gras competitions. Mr Mardi Gras 2010 (hosted by Tryst nightclub) is the first regional finals for the Mr Gay South Africa™ competition. The top 2 are chosen as finalists, and the 3rd place finisher may be selected as a wild card finalist. As my Hubby (Karl-Heinz Michel) took part, I kept a close eye on the contestants and the judging criteria. This did not only look like great fun, but also an unforgettable experience!

Karl and I had a bet: If he placed as a finalist, I would take part in the next round. Lo and behold, he became a finalist (along with Dustin Carr), and after much deliberation, I entered the second heat of the competition, hosted at Durbanview Guesthouse in KwaZulu Natal. I was fortunate enough to place as second runner-up, and won the Mr Personality award, resulting in me being the possible wild card for this region. Everyone – the organisers, guests and other contestants – was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout. Above all, it was great getting to know my fellow contestants; sharing stories, tips and just having a good laugh. So many people came up to me to thank and congratulate me for the message and image Karl and I portray as a monogamous couple. Some even asked me to enter their own pageants and events.
From l to r: Jared Smith (Winner), Prince Mkhize (1st Runner-up) & Conraad Jonas (2nd Runner-up & Mr Personality) - Durban Regional Finals
The judges asked difficult yet relevant questions, all pertaining to how you would fare as an ambassador for the LGBTI community. Jared Smith and Prince Mkhize were the top 2 and were selected as finalists. After Durban came Cape Town, where André Lammers and Errol Stroebel placed for the finals. The last regional finals – Pretoria, Gauteng – would prove to be the toughest round, with the most entrants, and the event being sold out long it advance.
From l to r: Errol Stroebel (1st Runner-up); Ernest Gravett (2nd Runner-up) & Andre Lammers (Winner) - Cape Town Regional Finals
I decided to try my luck again in Pretoria; and even though all of us were nervous, my experiences of other pageants I competed in, especially the Durban regionals, helped to calm my nerves. I got to know a few of my fellow contestants before hand, thanks to stunning events like Bruce J. Little's brilliant comedy cabaret (Little Poof), and having many of my Facebook friends as fellow competitors, also made me more relaxed, as I did not feel like I was walking into this event "blind". This event, hosted at the Brooklyn Theatre, was an incredible experience for all of us.
The judges – all well known, impressive people from the Gay community – asked rather thought-provoking questions during the interviews. These included: "What difference would you make if chosen as Mr Gay South Africa?"; "Do you think there are great racial differences in the LGBTI community, and how would you resolve this?"; "What are you currently doing to make a positive change to our country?" and "How did or will this competition affect your life and relationship?" Everyone came out of the interviews a lot more relaxed than when they went in, and we all shared our experiences with each other, having quite a few laughs (often at each other's expense, but in good nature).
All the contestants agreed that the questions were difficult and intriguing, but absolutely character-defining. I was very content with my answers, as I gave them as frank and honest as I could. Choreography ensued, during which much laughter, jokes, advice and the like was shared backstage. It was the perfect setting to get to know each other better. After a short break, we were all set for the big event. Hair done, outfits ready, nerves shot (haha). Starting in evening wear; moving to jeans and T-shirts; and ending with Bone Wear designer underwear (thanks Wilco!), the evening progressed from formal, to casual to absolute fun.

The last walk on the ramp obviously engendered (excuse the pun) much applause, cheering and even cat calls from the audience. I mean, come on, so many hot boys in super sexy underwear! What would you expect? The vast audience's enthusiastic support was an absolute confidence-booster! Thanks guys/ girls! We gathered in the dressing room, awaiting the judges' results, as we wished each other good luck, and congratulated each other on a magnificent evening and each's accomplishments.
From l to r: Tshepo Chuenyane (Winner); Shannon Rex (1st Runner-up) & Barry Meyer (2nd Runner up & Wildcard) - Gauteng Regional Finals
The judges announced the Top 10. I was lucky enough to place again. The top 2 (Tshepo Chuenyane and Shannon Rex) qualified for the finals and the following day, the four wild cards were announced. After much stressing and holding thumbs, I lost out on being a finalist, but I know I'm on the right track – so Mr GSA 2011, here I come.
The four wild card finalists are: Barry Meyer (3rd place, Gauteng), Ernest Gravett (3rd place, Cape Town), Francois Nel (Top 10, Gauteng) and Ross Erlank (contestant, Gauteng).
From l to r: Francois Nel (Top 10 Gauteng); Ernest Gravett (2nd Runner up Cape Town); & Ross Erlank (Entrant in Gauteng).
If any readers want to take place in this event next year, or one of its kind in your country, I would encourage you to do so – regardless of your physical appearance, age, ethnicity or back ground – not only because of the title that could be yours, but also for the amount of knowledge and self-confidence you gain, not to mention the wonderful friends you make, and the stories you'll be able to tell. I thank everyone on behalf of myself and all the contestants that helped us in some way: judges, sponsors, organisers, friends, family and loved ones. You truly made this a great experience for us all. This was an incredible stepping stone for me, and many others, and I would like to build upon this foundation I have laid, to become a young ambassador for the LGBTI community, especially to the other "twinks" out there:
Guys, we have what it takes to achieve great things! In closing, if you are in South Africa, remember to vote for your favourite by SMS'ing "GSA + finalist's name" (e.g. "GSA Karl") to 34008. Your votes count 25% of their total mark. So keep texting.
From l to r: Mr GSA finalists, Karl-Heinz (1st runner-up) & Dustin Carr (Winner) - Knysna Regional Finals.
Love and peace unto you all. Until next month when I'll be reporting on Jo'burg Gay Pride.

Second's first-hand feel of toughest win - How Surya helped Anand win fifth crown
Read more below
- Published 4.06.12
|Surya with wife Sudeshna at their Salt Lake home on Sunday. (Bishwarup Dutta)
Sachin Tendulkar felt "50kilos" lighter after scoring his 100th hundred. Surya Sekhar Ganguly looks 10kg lighter after helping Viswanathan Anand win his fifth World Championship title.
"Yes, I have lost 10kg in four months. I had to because my wife scolds me!" laughed the 29-year-old Grandmaster and Anand's second, back in his Salt Lake home on Sunday after the Moscow marathon against Boris Gelfand.
"Jokes apart, I was working out during the match as well as before the match… it helps... if you are fit, you will be mentally agile…. There were days when I just slept two-three hours, but I was still hitting the gym…. In earlier championships, when Anand used to go to play, I used to sleep. This time, I would go to the gym, have lunch and then sleep," said Surya.
If the kilos were lost in four months of gymming, the crown was won after six months of slogging. "Preparations started in January in Germany. We were eagerly waiting for the match to start (on May 11). On the night before the tiebreak (May 29), preparations went on till 4.30 in the morning. We were all discussing how all this would be over the next day. We had one working room and I desperately miss that now.... No matter how serious the situation was, there was always a lot of laughter, jokes being cracked, music…." The playlist? Pet Shop Boys, A-ha, Rammstein....
What exactly did Surya have to do as the champ's second? "It is research-based. Once you come across a new idea, to support that you come up with 10,000 moves with the help of computers and your own thoughts. We help Anand come up with new ideas. Also, help him with match strategy… what he will play, what he has to watch out for. The final decision lies with Anand. If he is uncomfortable with a suggested line, he will not play it, but that rarely happens. He has full faith in us," says Surya, who has been Anand's second for the last three World Championships.
All the three championships were "different", but this was the "toughest match", felt Surya. "This was incredibly difficult.... Gelfand was exceptionally well prepared. He managed to surprise us almost in every single game in the first half of the match.... Only because it is Anand, he is capable of taking this pressure."
Anand sat Zen-like through the matches. "He never looked tense even before the tiebreak. He is a very controlled person. It is all about controlling your mind, that is what Anand can do at the highest level, and that is why he is Anand. I personally feel that Anand is the greatest sportsman of India," said the loyal second.
The nail-biting win was followed by dinner out at an Indian restaurant. "I cannot remember what exactly we ate; it was like bring on pretty much everything!" smiled Surya. And then it was back to the working room, one last time.
If Anand is the man in the middle, wife Aruna is clearly the queen of Team Anand. "The team will just not function without Aruna. We are seconds but she is the better half. She motivates and she care of everyone. She makes it like family."
So, what next for the boy who lifted The Telegraph School Chess Championship trophy in 1994 and became the Asian champion in 2010?
Surya's next tournament is in mid-July, but for a while he will trade chess for karate — the mastermind is already a brown belt.

Has John F. Kennedy, Jr., founder of George magazine and the son of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, been telling us all along who killed his father?
Would a child who never got to know his father just let his father's "unknown" assassin go free without investigation? Or would he look for answers and even create his own media outlet to ensure he could get the truth out to people, since he knew most media outlets are controlled?
Is it possible, that before he died, John F. Kennedy, Jr revealed the identity of the person who led the assassination of his father, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Is it the person who the video at this link implies and suggests? Did John John cleverly find a way to tell us who assassinated his father? Why did he really call his magazine by the name of "George"? Do the two photos on this page give you a hint? Be sure to review the video at this link.
If the CIA Nazis are a creation of the Jesuits and the Vatican (i.e. read the rest of this website), and if the CIA's former director, shown in one of the photos on this page and a former POTUS, was calling the shots, then why would they kill the first Catholic President? The Vatican and the Pope are the heart and soul of Catholicism, aren't they? They are Catholic, right? As one conversation with a former CIA operative established for me: "Not everything is as it seems".
One must never be naive when it comes to power and money. This is why it's essential you read articles on this site such as these:

Mrs. Henrietta "Retta" Wright Mitchell
June 3, 1955 - November 16 , 2005
Obituary posted by :
Victor E. McKelvey ,
Person Description:
Henrietta "Retta" Wright Mitchell
June 3, 1955 - November 16, 2005
A New Jewel in the Garden….
Hidden beneath the densest part of God's secret garden, under the lilies,
beside the roses, near the violets, is a precious new jewel. The jewel was gently and
quietly removed from the Earth on Wednesday, November 16, 2005, and resettled in
our Father's garden, near His heart for safekeeping, for nurturing, for restoration
after a long journey. The jewel that went home was our beloved
Sister, Henrietta "Retta" Wright Mitchell.
It would take more space than available to document the impact of her life,
but know this-everyone loved Retta! To Herbert Lee Mitchell, Sr., her husband of
31 years, she was the head of the household, a strong and loving partner; to her
precious daughter and best friend BeLinda, "Michelle", she was a guiding light,
an endless supply of wisdom and understanding; to her rock steady and devoted
sons, Herbert Lee, Jr. and Kevin Bernard, and adopted son, Earl Henry Wright, Jr.,
she was both friend and encourager; to beloved grandsons Michael, Harry, Christian,
and granddaughter, Jessica Louise, she was a teacher of God's word and His love,
as well as a source of hugs, kisses, and chocolate chip cookies; to her beloved
nephew / brothers, Earl Wright and David "Lewis" Gladney, she was the matriarch
who held the family together.
At Mount Olive Baptist Church, where Retta served faithfully, she was known
for her ministry of song. O yes, our Sister could sing, and sing she did, first with
Choir # 2, then as the director and advisor of the Junior Choir. Retta also served on
the Trustee Board, the Pastor's Aide Board, the Bylaws Committee and the Recreation
Committee. She was a founding member of the Youth Saturday Series. Later, with the
creation of the Heaven's Angels Praise Dancers, she would establish a cornerstone of
the Church's Creative Ministry Heaven's Angels were Retta's joy. The Angels are a
cherubic group of multitalented little girls who have touched the hearts of many
throughout the area with their spirited and anointed praise interpretations.
Retta was an accomplished professional with experience in culinary arts;
she served as the lead cook at the Festival Center Piggly Wiggly in North
Charleston; she ministered as a certified nurses' assistant for several years;
worked as a licensed cosmetologist.
Retta was employed as a Financial Counselor for Dupont Insurance Agency,
and most recently served as the probate consultant for FAMS, Family Assistance
Management Services, a nonprofit organization housed under the umbrella of the
Dupont Progressive Business Center.
But above all, Retta simply loved life! She was always on the go and never missed
an opportunity to visit family and friends. If she wasn't visiting, she was inviting
everyone to her home for fellowship and good hot meals. Retta met strangers
and rarely forgot a face or name. She loved unconditionally and encouraged with
her whole heart. Retta's light remained bright, even in the darkest moments, and
especially at the end as the pain became unbearable, but she knew and believed a
fundamental truth; If God brings you to it; He will see you through it.
It will come as no surprise that Retta's highest praise was reserved for her
Lord and Savior, for she had walked with the Lord long enough to know that He
would not leave her, nor forsake her. She knew that He would take care of her,
that He would make a way that He would not put more on her that she could bear.
Retta knew that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.
Because our Lord and Savior lives, we know that Retta lives. And although
our grief is enormous, we celebrate because we know that she is with her Lord,
and her Mother, the late Mrs. Louise Wright; her Father, the late Deacon Henry
Wright, and her precious Sister, the late Mrs. Albertha, "Miss Eulee" King, and
all the other mighty souls who went home before her.
As Retta rests in the secret place of God's garden, we can rest too,
secure and confident in the knowledge that she is a part of our future and
that one-day, we will rejoice with her again on the streets paved of gold.
Those who celebrate her life and legacy include a loving Husband,
Herbert Lee Mitchell, Sr.; a devoted Daughter, BeLinda Michelle Mitchell of
North Charleston, SC; devoted Sons, Herbert Lee Mitchell, Jr., and Kevin
Bernard Mitchell of Hollywood, SC, and an adopted son, Earl Henry Wright, Jr.
of North Charleston, SC; Nephews Earl Henry Nathaniel Wright, Sr., and David
Lewis Gladney; four grandchildren, Michael, Jessica, Harry, and Christian;
adopted Parents; Mr. & Mrs. John Singletary, Sr; a Spiritual Mother, Mrs.
Ethel Hines; special Cousins, Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Butler, Reuebell Mickens of
Columbia, SC, and Helen Graves of Philadelphia, PA; Brothers-in-law, John,
Jr.,(Pearl), Leroy (Rosalind); Louis (Wilma) Mitchell; Sister-in-law Vemethia
Ann Mitchell; Uncle-in-law, George Brisbane (Archie); adopted Uncle and
Aunt, Deacon Earl and Christine Burns; all nieces, nephews, grandnieces,
grandnephews, cousins, and extended family throughout the United States;
special friends, Miss Ruthie Townsend, Mrs. JacQueline F. Hill, Miss Rita
Harvey, Miss Rose F. Kimble, Mrs. Annette G. West, Mrs. Annie Dukes, and
Mrs. "Minnie" Ruth M. Morton, the entire Mt. Olive Baptist Church Family,
and all breast cancer survivors everywhere and those in the Charleston
area who supported Retta with their love, strength, and prayers.

I hate to break it to you, but when they are young adults, they quit wearing their retainers, stop going to the dentist on a regular basis, and you wonder why you invested so much time and money on their teeth!! Often they take pride in noting how long it's been since they've been to a dentist!!ReplyDelete

text: Student Forgotten in DEA Cell Gets $4.1M Payout He nearly died during 5 days with no food, water By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Jul 31, 2013 1:10 AM CDT 55 comments Comments "What happened to Daniel Chong should never happen to any human being on the face of the planet," his lawyer says. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – A UC San Diego student has been awarded a settlement that amounts to $820,000 for each of the hellish five days he spent forgotten in a DEA interrogation room with no food, water, or toilet facilities. The Department of Justice approved the $4.1 settlement with Daniel Chong, whose lawyer describes his treatment as a "mistake of unbelievable and unimaginable proportions," reports the Los Angeles Times. Chong, taken into custody during a drug raid last year, was told he was being released without charge and was placed in the small, windowless room by an officer who said, "Hang tight, we'll come get you in a minute," the Wall Street Journal reports. He was found by DEA employees five days later, hallucinating, severely dehydrated, and covered in his own feces. He lost 15 pounds and was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Nobody has been disciplined over his ordeal, but the DEA has changed procedures at its field stations.

A Storytelling Drama by Marty Ross
No. 28, Market Square, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 1FZ.
Saturday 5 December 7.30pm. Tickets £7 / £5 concession.
Storyteller MARTY ROSS (BBC Radio drama; Doctor Who & Dark Shadows audio drama) returns to Belper with his latest dramatic performance, a very modern version of a classic folk tale from his native Scotland, with all the mix of magic, poetry and eerie romance that implies.
Marty Ross has become a regular performer at Belper's No. 28 Arts Centre with shows such as The Blackwater Bride, 21st Century Poe & Blood And Stone. For his latest show, he returns to the folklore and fairy tale tradition of his native Scotland, drawing inspiration from a legend of the Solway coast between South West Scotland and North West England, the tale of 'the Haunted Ships', lying sunken out in the deep waters and haunted specifically both by ghosts and by fairies – not the twee, cute butterfly winged fairies of Victorian sentimentality, but the fierce and seductive and sometimes downright frightening fairies of Scots / Irish folklore.
The original story concerns a Laird and his wife, the fairies trying to tempt the wife off into their undersea kingdom. But Ross is a storytelling 'modernist', always keen to move the resurgent art of storytelling away from being too quaint and olde worlde... and so in his version of the story our central characters are a very modern couple, David and Jenny who've made some serious money with an internet business and have channelled that money into refurbishing a house on the Galloway cliffs. But the marriage has its problems and when a handsome young sculptor, named Finn, who may have a connection to the 'otherworld' of the Haunted Ships, charms Jenny, the scene is set for a climax of drama and terror and magic.
MARTY ROSS is well established as a playwright, particularly with radio drama for the BBC, including The Darker Side Of The Border, Ghost Zone, Catch My Breath, My Blue Piano, Rough Magick, Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk, Moyamensing and The Dead Of Fenwick Moor. He has also written two Doctor Who audio dramas and the award-nominated Dark Shadows: Dress Me In Dark Dreams. Redder Than Roses and The Woman On The Bridge were commissioned for and performed at the Buxton Festival. Crooker's Kingdom was performed this Halloween at Cromford Mill. Shortly to be produced is Romeo & Julian, commissioned by Amazon Audible.
As a storyteller he has performed successfully at the likes of the Edinburgh Fringe, London Horror Festival and Glasgow Southside Fringe. He regularly performs in the East Midlands, where he currently lives, with regular shows at No. 28 in Belper and Chilwell Arts Theatre in Nottingham. Shows have included 21st Century Poe, The Blackwater Bride, Ghosts Of Christmas Past, The Strange Tale Of The Glasgow Golem, Blood And Stone & The Gorbals Vampire.

How to Fix macOS Sierra Installation Problems
If you run into macOS Sierra installation problems you may need to try installing in Safe Mode. Some users report that their macOS Sierra installation freezes and requires them to restart the Mac and start over.
When this happens you should try uninstalling any antivirus software that you are running. If macOS Sierra installation problems persist, try booting in safe mode.
Hold the Shift key while you press the power button and keep holding the shift key. This will start your Mac in Safe Mode. Once in this special mode, try installing macOS Sierra again.
How to Fix macOS Sierra Slow WiFi Problems
Is your WiFi slow after upgrading to macOS Sierra? We are hearing about macOS Sierra WiFi problems leading to slow page loading and downloads.
When you experience bad WiFi performance on macOS Sierra you need to delete you WiFi preferences and start over. Go to the System Configuration folder – /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ to delete a group of files.
Press Command + Shift + G in Finder and then paste that address in to find the files below.
- com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
- com.apple.network.identification.plist
- com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
- NetworkInterfaces.plist
- preferences.plist
Delete these files and then reboot you Mac and your router. This shoudl fix most slow macOS Sierra WiFi problems.
How to Fix Not Enough Space to Install macOS Sierra
Do you get an error when you try to instal macOS Sierra saying you need more space? It's very possible that you have a bunch of junk taking up space on your Mac.
You should use this guide to free up space on your Mac, and this guide to free up Other storage space on your Mac.
Once you delete files on your Mac and restart you should be able to install macOS Sierra. If you still have trouble boot into Safe Mode and try installing the update.
How to Fix macOS Sierra Won't Start Problems
If your Mac won't start on macOS Sierra you may need to reset your NVRAM and PRAM. This won't delete any of your data on the Mac, but it can quickly fix macOS Sierra startup problems.
Restart your computer and then hold Option + Command + R + P. Keep holding the keys until you hear two chimes during startup. After the second chime let go and the Mac will likely boot.
On the 2016 MacBook Pro you need to hold those buttons for 20 seconds to make sure the reset takes place.
How to fix Slow Mac after Installing macOS Sierra
Is your Mac slow after installing macOS Sierra? That's a common issue, but many times it's temporary as your computer re-indexes and performs other maintenance tasks in the background.
The first thing to try is restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help you may need to wait for the Mac to catch up to the new installation. This shouldn't take more than a day. If this continues look at your Activity Monitor app to see what app is using the most RAM and CPU.
Close an app in Activity monitor that is out of control and see if your Mac performance is better.
The latest macOS Sierra updates delivered important fixes, so make sure you are on the new version before you do anymore troubleshooting.
How to fix macOS Sierra USB Audio Problems
If you cannot use your USB headphones with macOS Sierra without running into audio problems you need to install an update.
This is a known issue and one that Apple confirmed is fixed in macOS Sierra 10.12.5 that arrived on May 15th. You can install this as a free update and it's the best way to fix this problem.
How to fix macOS Sierra Apps Damaged and Can't Be Opened
If you try to use an app and see an macOS Sierra error message that says the app is "damaged and can't be opened", you should update the app or try to clear your cache.
Before you clear the cache, check to see if there are any updates for your app. Some apps don't work yet on macOS Sierra.
Open Finder and press Command + Shift + G and past in ~/Library/Caches and then delete everything inside the folders. You can also clear out the /Library/Caches folder.
If apps are still damaged try resetting your PRAM. If that fails try re-installing the app or holding option and command when you open the app.
macOS Sierra Auto Unlock with Apple Watch Problems
If you cannot setup auto unlock with the Apple Watch on macOS Sierra you should make sure you have a computer that is from 2013 or later. You cannot use an older computer.
Another issue is that you must switch from two-step authentication to two factor authentication. You'll need to login to your Apple ID online and turn off two step, then go through a setup process to get two factor set up before you can use this feature.
The macOS Sierra updates help with this, so you should check for an update.
How to Fix macOS Sierra Bluetooth Problems
There are some macOS Sierra Bluetooth problems that prevent users from connecting a Bluetooth device to the Mac. This is especially problematic if you recently switched to Bluetooth headphones to go with your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.
There are two things to try. First off use the Bluetooth device and your Mac until the batteries are dead on both. This may reboot the Bluetooth connection in a manner and allow things to work.
If that fails look for a firmware update for your Bluetooth headphones. Sometimes you can use an app on your iPhone to update the firmware or you may need to connect to your computer with a charging cable.
For users who cannot fix the macOS Sierra Bluetooth problems like that, you may need to downgrade to OS X El Capitan or buy a new Bluetooth device.
How to Fix Logitech Mouse Scrolling on macOS Sierra
With every major Apple update to the Mac there are some Logitech mouse problems. Users report that the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Anywhere MX mice lag while scrolling and some buttons don't work.
You will need to download the latest Logitech Control Center for macOS Sierra 10.12. This should fix the problem for you.
How to Use Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanners on macOS Sierra
The Fujitsu Scan Snap scanners do not all work correctly with macOS Sierra right after you update thanks to a way that macOS Sierra handles the PDF engine.
The company rolled out a fix, that you need to install.
Here are the files and the options that you need to download and install.
How to Fix macOS Sierra iTunes Problems
When you try to use iTunes for the first time on macOS Sierra you may find that it will not open or work.
If this happens to you, open the Mac App Store and install iTunes 12.5.1 or higher. You can also download directly from iTunes. This should solve most iTunes problems on macOS Sierra.
How to Fix macOS Sierra Problems at Work
There are a number of enterprise macOS Sierra problems and issues that you may run into at work. If you start to see problems, you need to talk with your IT department, but it may be as simple as installing the latest updates. Many of the macOS Sierra updates include fixes for enterprise problems. The macOS Sierra 10.12.6 update includes the following fixes for enterprise users.
- Resolves an issue that prevents making certain SMB connections from the Finder.
- Fixes an issue that causes Xsan clients to unexpectedly restart when moving a file within a relation point on a Quantum StorNext File System.
- Improves the stability of Terminal app
You may also need to install updates for apps to get everything working. Once again, make sure you work with IT before installing updates.
How to Fix Annoying macOS Sierra Problems
If you run into stubborn macOS Sierra problems you may be able to fix them by performing a clean macOS Sierra installation. This overwrites your hard drive and lets you start fresh. It can, in many cases, solve odd and annoying macOS Sierra problems without a clear fix.
Another option is to downgrade to OS X El Capitan until other users identify your macOS Sierra problem and deliver a fix.
What's Next for macOS Sierra
Apple just rolled out macOS Sierra 10.12.6 with a variety of fixes and many security updates. We expect to see new macOS Sierra updates coming in the next several months with bug fixes. Apple announced macOS High Sierra in June with a number of new features and changes. You can install the macOS High Sierra beta now if you want to try it, but many users should wait for the public release date. Watch out, as there are some macOS High Sierra beta problems as well.

Welcome to the SCREEN project website!
SCREEN aims at the definition of a replicable systemic approach towards a transition to Circular Economy in EU regions within the context of the Smart Specialization Strategy, thus contributing to novel future eco-innovative and horizontal business models across different value chains.
SCREEN works on 4 steps as defined in the following boxes:by clicking on each box, you will arrive to a specific page containing tools, methodologies and examples.
The concept of the SCREEN action is to develop a EU reference framework for establish operational synergies between Horizon 2020 and the European Structural and Investment Funds related to Circular Economy by:
- Sustaining the regional actors' participation at H2020 The mechanism of the "vouchers", already adopted in the past, will be reinforced an harmonized, in order to ensure common rules in EU regions and therefore encouraging to composition of international Consortia applying for circular economy projects related to the regional Smart Specialisation.
- Encouraging the entrepreneurial initiatives based on H2020 project's results The participating Regions will agree about a specific rule in their Structural Funds giving an advantage for those initiatives targeted to the exploitation of the H2020 project results with a circular economy approach.
- Investigating the possibility of maximizing the H2020 investment through a "recovery" (full or partial) of well ranked unfinanced proposals dealing with circular economy. Even if there is a clear presence of several bureaucratic and operational barriers, a possible solution could have an impressive multiplier effect on the H2020 results. The approach of the action is to leverage on growing industry sectors in EU regions to act as a driver also for the less performing ones, through a circular economy approach, and to support the emergence of new actors in the regional economies leading to new or redesigned value chains.

"It's not about the harvesting of a deer as much as telling the story each kid has of overcoming significant limitations".
Clark, S.D. We at Outdoorsmen Adventures television had the privilege to send our film crew to Clark, South Dakota in September to film at the ninth annual PDR Disabled Youth Deer Hunt.
Dean Rasmussen, Clark, S.D. developed the hunt honoring his grandson Payton Dean Rasmussen whose life was taken by spinal meningitis in 1999.
Dean says that the hunt would not have gotten off the ground without the support from many people, including landowners, businesses and agencies. Sponsored events includes, all arrangements, food, overnight accommodations, rifle, ammunition, deer stands, and transportation to and from the field, all of which are provided to the hunters at no cost.
The P.D.R. Youth Hunt allows young children with disabilities to enjoy a carefree weekend of hunting where friends and memories are made.
The celebration begins the afternoon before when the hunters get an opportunity to meet and to have an opportunity to check out and zero their weapons at the shooting range set-up at the Day Betterment Lodge outside of Clark, S.D. followed by a barbecue dinner.
Rasmussen indicated, "Parents and others tell them the biggest reason kids like to come isn't always because of the hunting experience, although that's special to them, what they really enjoy is being accepted as they are. For this one weekend, the kids feel like any other kid. The community of Clark is a special place."
that attended this years 2016 PDR Youth Deer hunt in Clark, S.D
There were twelve youth hunters attended this year's event from throughout South Dakota and Minnesota hunters at this year event which included; Lane Smith from Gary, S.D., Austin Clark, Sioux Falls, S.D., Jorden Steltz, Ortonville MN., Logan Morey, Harrisburg, S.D., Marcus Van Dam, Coleman, S.D., Calvin Lozinski, Tauton, MN., Cameron Lewis, Mission Hill, S.D., Ethan Kittelson Good Thunder, MN., Logan Winkelmann Hector, MN, James Byukkonen Tripp, S.D., James Brown Centerville, S.D., and Felicia Charging Elk Gettysburg, S.D.

Nokia Lumia 929, for Verizon, in black, 2013. Also coming in white. pic.twitter.com/YrEsqYPOtS
— @evleaks (@evleaks) September 21, 2013
Verizon customers haven't had any new Windows Phones in their lives since the launch of the Nokia Lumia 928 back in mid-May, but if a new leak is to be believed, that'll be changing soon.
An image posted to Twitter by @evleaks claims to show the "Nokia Lumia 929," a Verizon-branded Windows Phone that's reportedly coming in both black and white color options. Today's report makes no mention of what kind of specs that this Lumia 929 is packing, but we can see that the Start screen is displaying three columns of medium Live Tiles, indicating that it's running the Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update.
This Lumia 929 is actually the second Verizon-branded Windows Phone that's leaked out recently. Last weekend we got a peek at the backside of a white Verizon-branded Lumia smartphone, complete with a 20-megapixel PureView camera. There was no model number attached to that model, but it's possible that it and this Lumia 929 are actually one and the same. Both seem like fairly large phones, and today's report mentions that the Lumia 929 will be available in both black and white, which just so happen to be the same hues that these devices have leaked in.
There's not a ton of solid information available on this Lumia 929 quite yet, but what matters most for Windows Phone fans on Verizon is that there's another Nokia-made smartphone headed their way. Are you currently rocking a Windows Phone device as your daily driver? If so, which model are you using?

There are a few different types of players in World of Warcraft. Okay, maybe even more than 'a few'. You've got your AFKers, your Twinks, your PvE divas, your Farmin' Fools, your DPS-peeners, your Lootwh--... -lovers, your Carebears, your Roleplayers and a whole host of others.
Today, however, is devoted to one of my favorite sub-classes of the Warcraftian race. Far from amassing wealth and garnering the uber uber l33t reputation that so many crave, these are the brave men and women who farm, farm, farm some more, and then still end up poor at the end of the day. In fact, they'll usually come out with less gold than they went in, and it's all for the sake of some elusive green, blue, purple or crazy consumable that you've never even heard of! Yes, I'm talking about the devoted Tradeskiller, that person who only comes to Heroic UB with you because she really, really needs another Primal Nether.
Specifically, we're here for the education and edification of those crafty courtesans of the chemical concoctions, those magnificent mixers of myriad mounds of marrows - Alchemists! Listen up, my fellow finders of non-ferrous fronds, because I'm about to tell you all about eleven great, rare(ish) Outlands recipes that you never knew you could have.
Do you have your gloves on and your safety goggles in place? Okay, then. Let's hit the scrolls.
Part 1 - Solo-Source:The first half of this list are the recipes that can be farmed by killing non-Elite mobs in non-instanced Outlands environs. They're (relatively) fast, easy, and often come with some great farming side-benefits. Though you'll see some crazy low drop rates on sites like Thottbot and WoWHead, remember that these recipes only show up for an Alchemist that doesn't already know the potion. Realistically, you can expect to see something more like a ~5% drop rate on all of these solo-source recipes.
- The Recipe: Recipe: Major Arcane Protection Potion - farmed from Vir'aani Arcanists at Oshu'gun in Nagrand.The Mobs: The first of the 6 Major Resistance Potions, this recipe is a relatively easy farm from the etherial casters that hang out all around the wreckage of Oshu'gun. These level 66-67 mobs specialize in Arcane magic, shooting you with Arcane Bolts and occasionally doing an annoying Blink to end up about 15 yards behind you. They have a maximum of 5000 hit points, so they go down very quickly against a level 70 toon.
Fringe Benefits: The Arcanists and their local compatriots, the Vir'aani Raiders, drop some good cash and a metric butt-ton** of Netherweave Cloth. At 10-11 silver and 1-3 Nethercloth per kill, just one circuit around a boulder will net you about 2-3g. Now, add in a grey vendor item every 10 kills or so and a green every 15-20 kills, and you're making good money. But there's more. Vir'aani mobs have a chance to drop the Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples that the Halaani love with an unhealthy fervor, and all around the kill area are crystal spawns that you can loot for Oshu'gun Crystal Fragments. These are reputation items that you can turn in for Consortium rep from Neutral to Friendly.
- The Recipe: Recipe: Major Holy Protection Potion - farmed from Abyssal Flamebringers at Forge Camp: Anger in Blade's Edge Mountains.The Mobs: The Major Holy Protection Potion is, ironically, farmed from demonic elementals in the southern Forge Camp on the Ogri'la Plateau. Now, first thing's first - in order to even reach this spawn location, you will need to either have a flying mount or get the rare, kind pansy goth emo mage to summon you there. I'm not sure that I recommend the trip through hell, personally.
The Abyssal Flamebringers are scattered throughout the Forge Camp, interspersed with Vile Fire-souls. In what is probably not a stunning revelation, I'm going to tell you that they do a healthy dose of fire-element damage, first from a fire aura that tics for about 150 damage on a toon with negligible fire resistance and then from a ~3-second cast 'meteor' spell that will come crashing down on your head for about 800 damage. They do swing their meaty fists, too, but the melee damage is not going to break many people's heads (~2-300 against a cloth wearer).
Most notably, however, these guys are completely immune to fire damage. If you're planning to bring a fire mage, like Livaeya, then you need to stop that right now. Masochist.
Fringe Benefits: You won't get much in the way of non-recipe jollies from the Abyssal Flamebringers, but they do drop Apexis Shards. Ignore the place where WoWHead and its ilk mention Motes of Shadow. That is not true, any more, much to my eternal sorrow. However, if Motes are your goal, then you should definitely put some smack down on the other mobs that will be running around your Abyssals, the Vile Fire-souls. They drop Motes of Fire like a nub 2-Holy-Priest Arena team drops ratings. (That's a lot, okay?)
Warning: This region can get pretty heavily farmed by daily questers killing all the demons in the area, so avoid it during high-traffic hours.
- The Recipe: Recipe: Major Shadow Protection Potion - farmed from Shadow Council Warlocks at Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley.The Mobs: Oh, man. These mobs are a riot! The Shadow Council Warlocks ring three strange obelisks just behind the ramparts of Legion Hold (plus two patrollers, but who cares about them?!). There are about four per giant-phallic-symbol, and let me tell you... it's more than enough. These guys spawn like rabbits on crack with intravenous Viagra - I kid you not. Four to five toons can be farming these twelve little mobs, and not a single one will run out of fodder for his blades / spells. In fact, at times, you can barely grab your loot before you're being attacked by two new spawns. Now, add in the level 68-69 Elite that circles the area, and you're in for one wild farming ride.
Fringe Benefits: Wild, but lucrative. Not only do the Warlocks drop about 11 silver and 1-3 Netherweave Cloth per kill, but they also have a great drop rate for Aldor reputation items. You can come out of a 45-minute farming session with around 50 Marks of Sargeras and 3-7 Fel Armaments. They're great rep if you need them, and great cash if you don't. Win-win makes me happy!
Oh, but wait... these mobs don't drop just one measly recipe that you want, my fine fellow Alchemist...
- The Recipe: Recipe: Fel Strength Elixir - farmed from Shadow Council Warlocks at Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley. Yes, again. I love efficiency, so go look at the list item above and do it all again and again until you get not one, but two great potion recipes.
- The Recipe: Recipe: Fel Regeneration Potion - farmed from Deathforge Imps, Guardians, Tinkerers and Smiths at the Deathforge in Shadowmoon Valley.The Mobs: Well, with four mob types, you've got the luxury of picking and choosing who you kill. The guardians are your run-of-the-mill angry, orcish melee mobs. They seem to be allergic to huge, honking balls of fire, as Liv's spells flattened them very easily. Imps are fire-based casters with nice, low hit points. One Mind Blast crit sends the little buggers to demon'la or... whatever. The Tinkerers are Broken and the Smiths are those messed-up mechano-undead-demon guys that like to wander around with drills instead of hands. They tend to travel together in packs of three, so take that with whatever caution it deserves. Also, although I never tried it myself, I hear tell that the Tinkers are immune to Fear, if that's your particular flavor of crowd control.
Fringe Benefits: These guys pretty much have all the glory of the Shadow Council Warlocks. They all drop around 10-12 silver, 1-3 Netherweave Cloth, and some of the Aldor rep items that we so love. They have identical percentage chances for these loots, apparently, so expect the same peripheral take that you got from the guys in Legion Hold. Finally, if you happen to have a friend who is a Blacksmith, bring them along for their own tradeskill loving, as the Deathforge Guardians have a good chance to drop the Plans: Khorium Pants.
- The Recipe: Recipe: Fel Mana Potion - farmed from Eclipsion Spellbinders, Bloodwarders, Blood Knights, and Soldiers at Eclipsion Point in Shadowmoon Valley.The Mobs: In typical Bloodelf fashion, these guys are soul-sucking anti-paladins, alarmingly not-quite-wussy casters, and melee with an annoying tendency to eat your mana. They are all level 68-70 and not terribly tough, but with a lot of wanderers and some mounted units, they can be a little bit of a pain. The spell damage they can deal is mainly arcane, but as long as they aren't bugged out, they shouldn't pose a serious danger to a level 70 toon.
Fringe Benefits: Well, if the Aldor rep items weren't your preferred flavor, then I think you'll like these guys and gals a lot more. The Eclipsion mobs drop Sunfury Signets and Arcane Tomes for Scryer reputation in addition to the usual 1-3 Netherweave Cloth and about 14-16 silver. If you're a skinner, you can also take a violent paw to the Eclipsion Dragonhawks that dot the area. They drop a great rarespawn leatherworking item, Wind Scales, that you can send to your favorite druid or just sell on the Auction House for 60g (or more) per stack.
By the way, do you know why you want most of these potions, my dear Alchemist? Beyond their innate awesomesauce, five of the six Major Arcane Resistance Potions have a good chance to teach you the related Cauldrons. Can you resist a two-for-one deal like this?
That's the first half of the list. Next time, I'll show you the recipes that you can get with a group and an instance run. Sure, it's not as easy to get going, but the fringe benefits certainly go up in magnitude. Until then!
* Sorry, but that means you'll need to have The Burning Crusade expansion pack for this to be useful to you.
** That's a European unit of measure. Don't worry if you haven't heard of it before. *deadpan* o_o

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
The cost and scalability benefits of cloud computing are appealing, but cloud applications are complex. This is because they typically have multiple tiers and components that utilize numerous technologies; as a result, applications can end up scattered across a variety of execution environments. To ensure successful cloud application deployment and management, the key is to use application-defined automation tools.
Today, many aspects of cloud application deployment are manual. As a result, IT organizations must deal with:
1. Application Proliferation: While the number of applications is already huge, it is still growing. In order to meet enterprise demand, IT continues to roll out more applications.
2. Cloud Diversity: Execution environments are numerous, diverse and expanding as companies embrace software-defined data center and cloud technologies.
3. Business Velocity: The rate of feature updates is accelerating as competitors race to deliver digital services to their customers.
Consequently, IT finds itself in the gap between applications and infrastructures, struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for new applications and upgrades to current ones. The good news: IT is gaining ground using automation to handle the increasing demand and faster pace while not succumbing to application chaos.
Infrastructure automation a step forward
Historically, data center infrastructure comprised dedicated hardware resources that infrastructure teams manually provisioned in response to an application team's request. The application team would then manually deploy and configure the application. If the infrastructure did not end up meeting the requirements of the application, a back-and-forth would ensue between infrastructure and application teams. The process was inefficient, slow and error-prone. But in a slower paced world where stability and cost control were primary IT concerns, it didn't matter.
The software-defined data center is a major step forward. Here, the server, storage and network devices are virtualized and can be provisioned and configured programmatically through application programming interfaces (APIs). Provisioning and configuration is accomplished through scripting and workflows. This approach is faster, more flexible and less susceptible to errors. Given the application proliferation, cloud diversity and business velocity IT is managing, this is a significant improvement over manual processes.
Despite its advantages, software-defined technology has shortcomings in helping IT keep up with the fast-moving application conveyor belt. First and foremost, infrastructure provisioning is still separate from application deployment. There are still separate infrastructure and application teams, each using different tools. The teams still face inefficient back-and-forth exchanges to resolve mismatches. Preconfigured infrastructure blueprints offer a partial solution. However, those blueprints are infrastructure-focused and the application must conform to the available infrastructures.
A second disadvantage is that APIs and best practices differ across virtualized datacenter, private cloud and public cloud environments, so the software-defined layer is cloud specific. Consequently, both the infrastructure and application teams must create scripts or workflows specific to each target infrastructure. The teams need separate tools and skillsets for different infrastructure technologies, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, VMware and Cisco.
Finally, because scripts and workflows are cloud specific, the application gets locked into a specific cloud environment. While that may be good for service providers, it's not good for IT because it might be necessary to move the application to another environment to meet changing business needs. Moving environments requires developing a different set of scripts or workflows, reducing agility and increasing costs related to version controlling and maintaining automation artifacts.
The result is strategic mismatch. Enterprises pursue cloud environments to lower costs, gain agility and scale rapidly. However, these benefits are undermined by the separation of application and infrastructure processes coupled with cloud lock-in.
The age of containers: Not a sure cure
Container technology promises to speed infrastructure velocity even further. But Gartner VP and Distinguished Analyst for Servers and Storage, Thomas Bittman, identified five drawbacks to container technology during his presentation at Gartner's IT Operations Strategies and Solutions Summit 2015 in Orlando. According to Bittman:
1. Container technology might not be right for all tasks.
2. Dependencies can cause problems. Placing dependencies on containers limit portability among servers.
3. Weaker isolation between containers means that flaws and attacks have potential to bring down into an underlying OS and carry over into other containers.
4. The ability to spin up and duplicate containers at an unprecedented rate increases the risk of container sprawl.
5. The kind of tools needed to monitor and manage containers are still lacking in the industry.
Because each infrastructure automation technology has its advantages and disadvantages, IT requires the flexibility to select the optimum execution environment for each of its applications individually.
Completing the journey: Application-defined automation
Even with infrastructure automation, there is still a gap between application deployment and infrastructure provisioning. To eliminate the gap, IT must integrate application deployment with infrastructure provisioning in a unified, holistic and automated process. Application-defined automation delivers a new approach that provides an end-to-end deployment/provisioning process in which the application defines and configures the infrastructure instead of having to fit into a preconfigured infrastructure, blueprint or template.
Application-defined automation permits users to choose the optimum execution environment for each application. Application-defined automation speeds the development process since application teams no longer have to go back and forth with infrastructure teams to align the infrastructure with the needs of the application. In addition, application-defined automation systems manage the deployed applications over their entire lifecycles, from deployment to retirement.
Traditional cloud strategies are infrastructure focused, that is, geared to accelerating infrastructure velocity. While infrastructure velocity is a key advantage of cloud, it's only part of the value that cloud is capable of delivering. To tap the cloud's full potential, IT needs to also accelerate application velocity. Application-defined automation makes that possible. With application-defined automation, IT can rev up both application velocity and infrastructure velocity and, as a result, enable enterprises to excel in the increasingly digital business environment.

To establish Denver's downtown area as a walkable district, business and city leaders focus on developing not just pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, but train, bus and bike traffic for first- and last-mile connectivity.
Our "Walkable City" headline might seem like a misnomer. As it pertains to the downtown landscape, walkability is about giving commuters and visitors options that will allow them to walk from a rail station, bus stop, bike rack or parking spot to their final destination.
Beyond advancing an infrastructure that supports walking, stakeholders have developed a pedestrian-friendly experience rooted in design and efficiency, enhancing the "last-mile" pathways -- those used during the final mile of a commute -- that entice passersby to linger and engage in social behavior that bolsters the hyper-local economy.
About 41 percent of downtown commuters use transit to get to work, another 6.5 percent bike and roughly 5.6 percent walk. "This explains why it's so important to invest in a multimodal downtown," says Aylene McCallum, the
Downtown Denver Partnership
's director of downtown environment. "Every person is a pedestrian downtown at some point."
Heightened walkability begins with the redevelopment of the district's bookends:
Union Station
Civic Center Station
Union Station
The 2007 Downtown Area Plan identified a need to "reinforce Union Station as a regional transit hub."
2007 Downtown Area Plan
identified a need to "reinforce Union Station as a regional transit hub." That element of the plan can be checked off as an unqualified success.
With the multi-billion-dollar
transit expansion as its catalyst, Union Station was overhauled in phases, starting with the relocation of the rail station in in 2012. A new underground bus facility opened in 2014, replacing the soon-to-be-redeveloped station at 16th and Market streets.
$500 million
project culminated in summer 2015 with the grand opening of the site's refurbished historic building, which now houses independent restaurants, bars and markets, along with
The Crawford Hotel
, fronted by the impressive Wynkoop Plaza. The Downtown Denver Business Improvement District maintains Wynkoop Plaza, and the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP) manages it for their client,
, the property owner.
As for transportation, the project cemented Union Station as a multimodal regional hub, says interim RTD General Manager and CEO Dave Genova, spouting off the various lines that come through, including light rail, commuter rail, Amtrak and two free shuttles. "If we're talking mobility and even walkability, it's important to really acknowledge how all of the systems come together," he says.
Genova calls the
Free MallRide
-- the shuttle that cruises 16th Street Mall -- "a backbone." "It's the mall shuttle that brings everyone through downtown -- all the way to Civic Center," Genova says, noting that it does a whopping 45,000 passenger trips daily, making it a critical part of the transportation infrastructure.
RTD added the
Free MetroRide
on 18th and 19th streets when it opened Union Station's bus facility. "We were concerned about capacity," explains Genova, likening MetroRide's mission to MallRide's, though it runs between Union Station and Civic Center only during peak morning and afternoon commuter times. "It's all an integrated network, and all of the elements link together to provide mobility options for people to get around."
The introduction of car-sharing services as an alternative to private vehicles is mentioned in the Downtown Area Plan, too, and fulfillment of that vision element has been accomplished by the private sector, with companies such as
. "With the insurgence of Lyft and Uber, within the transit industry we talk a lot about mobility on demand and how to integrate that," Genova says, adding, "These services can fill a gap during the last mile, and we embrace it as an industry of an integrated approach."
Civic Center Station
With Union Station redevelopment complete, developers and city planners have shifted gears to the prong of the Downtown Area Plan seeking to reinforce Civic Center Station as a local hub.
Civic Center Station opened with the 16th Street Mall in the early 1980s, and was part of the mall project. Explains Genova: "The original mall stretched from Civic Center to the Market Street Station; when we opened Union Station, we mothballed Market Street."
"A lot of people don't understand that the [16th Street Mall] was a transit investment, and it still serves as a transit corridor," he continues. When it first opened, the mall took about 500 local bus trips off the street.
Over 30 years, though, Civic Center Station's original structure has become outdated, and needs "reinvestment and modernization," says DDP Executive Vice President John Desmond. "Termination at Civic Center Station is very important," he notes. "It's one of those last-mile things."
The DDP is currently working with RTD and the city on a revitalization project, with construction slated for this summer and a reopening envisioned for the summer of 2017. When finished, Civic Center Station will be "open and somewhat similar to Union Station," says Genova. The site's elevated bus plaza, for example, is being brought to grade. That's a change that will allow for a mid-block crossing for buses that had to go around the block, Desmond adds.
"One of the major challenges for walkability around the Civic Center transit plan is the Broadway and Colfax [Avenue] intersection," he continues. Pedestrian-vehicular accidents have occurred here, and redevelopment plans will recommend options to enhance basic pedestrian safety.
"For example, do you limit the turning movements of cars at Broadway and Colfax?" asks Desmond. "How do you demarcate the intersections, the crosswalks?" There's been talk about enhancing the median on Colfax with an island for pedestrians, and developers are also looking at sightlines and signalization.
About 41 percent of downtown commuters use transit to get to work, another 6.5 percent bike and roughly 5.6 percent walk.
Bike City
"A lot of people feel that the only way they can move around downtown safely is by vehicle," says Crissy Fanganello, transportation director for the
Denver Department of Public Works
. "Because we're growing so quickly, we're looking at ways to increase capacity without widening roads."
The plan includes bike, mainly providing clearer networks and incorporating services and facilities that address the whole trip. "We have the regional trail system with the Cherry Creek and South Platte River trails. Making the connections into downtown as legible and seamless as possible has been a priority," says Fanganello.
In 2011, the city installed a bike lane on 14th Avenue, which connects the Cherry Creek Trail to Bannock Street. The city subsequently converted the bike lane on 15th Street to a protected lane separated from auto traffic by a physical barrier in 2014, and then installed protected lanes on Arapahoe and Lawrence streets in 2015 with additional funding from the private sector and the DDP. Another key piece of the puzzle was the existing bicycle lane on East 16th Avenue.
Over the past year, city staffers analyzed "timing along the corridor," Fanganello says, and subsequently implemented a "green wave" system. "If you're riding your bike at about 10 to 12 miles per hour, you'll hit downtown without any red lights." The move is catalyzing the network's usage. Active counters indicate 300 to 400 bicyclists use the 16th Avenue lane daily, and the counts for 15th Street are consistently between 800 and 900 bikes between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
While 12th Avenue was another candidate for a bike lane, and is discussed in the 2007 plan, it was stymied by a bus route. Based on community outreach, the city placed a bike lane on 11th Avenue instead. Completed last summer, the new lane provides a "parallel network," as Fanganello puts it, for getting folks to locations along busy Colfax.
The city has also converted downtown streets from one-way to two-way travel, beginning with 18th. Now, it's working on the conversions of 19th and 20th avenues, at the points where they come out of downtown. "Some feel a two-way street is friendlier for people and bikers," says Fanganello. "One-way streets tend to see higher speeds." Pedestrian-friendly speeds foster positive economic activity, and the DDP has data to back that up.
Once bicyclists are downtown, they need a place to park. Improving bicycle parking and amenities, then, is another critical element expounded in the Downtown Area Plan. Last year, Fanganello's department implemented a bike-parking program, and continues working with local business owners interested in adding U-racks and bike corrals, the latter of which take up about 1.5 parking spots. Once individual business owners have identified a need for a rack or corral and successfully submitted an application, the city will install the rack or corral, free of charge.
The idea for a bike station or hub has also been floated. Such a facility would be a multi-function space for bicyclists to park, as well as, say, work on a flat tire or buy accessories. "Some stations in other states even have showers and lockers," adds Fanganello, noting that the city is working with private developers to install a hub in front of Union Station.
"The biggest work we've done has been through our partnership with
Denver B-cycle
, the bike-sharing nonprofit," continues Fanganello. This take-a-bike, leave-a-bike program -- the first large-scale bike sharing one in the country when it launched in 2010 -- works especially well in high-density areas.
"The Downtown Denver Partnership was a strategic partner in the creation of the B-cycle program, and has supported the organization's expansion by connecting them to organizations that wish to place stations near their sites, and by promoting the program to downtown Denver employees through our transportation outreach and education efforts," says the DDP's Brittany Morris Saunders, senior vice president of economic development and public affairs.
With the help of a federal grant, Denver B-cycle expanded the stations in its system from 50 stations to 82 in 2013. Today, there are 87 Denver B-cycle stations with roughly 700 bikes.
Stay tuned: Next month we're exploring how city officials and business leaders are working to make downtown Denver more diverse.
In 2005, two entities -- the
City and County of Denver
and the
Downtown Denver Partnership
-- developed what would become the
2007 Downtown Denver Area Plan
, a comprehensive strategy establishing five overarching vision elements with 19 strategy elements -- all meant to guide decisions and actions affecting the form and function of approximately 1,800 acres divided over eight districts. In this series, we're examining each of the plan's five vision elements.

The doors of the H&M store on Walnut Street opened at 8 a.m. Thursday, but some faithful fashion fans were in line since 8 the night before the launch.
Take for example Jason Ayers, who stood on the curb anxiously awaiting a friend who was inside the store. "I've been here since 8 last night and I have an interview in New York today," said Ayers, dressed in a grey bespoke suit. "There's this belted jacket I like and these shoes I wanted," he said noting that he's a fan of Margiela because it's "different, but classy."
Unlike the Versace x H&M launch, the Margiela debut seemed to be much more structured and organized, the line was shorter, too. Those who waited along Walnut Street were given wristbands to secure their entrance into the store. That meant that once they procured a numbered band, they were able to step out of line and go about their business until the doors opened at 8 a.m.
"It was much more organized," said Teneqa Donatien, who held up her silver candy wrapper clutch in gleeful admiration. "There was an abundance of items compared to Versace," she said. However, that launch and the previous one (Lanvin) were both so exasperating for some that they refused to step out of line. "I've been here since 5 this morning," said Tess Orgasan, walking out with three bags full of Margiela items. "I don't remember what I got, but I'm happy with everything," she chirped.
Happiness seemed to be the resounding, common emotion for those who walked out of the store, largely satisfied with their purchases. Carl Northrop, however, did make it clear that there was some level of anxiety added to the anticipation of waiting in line. "It wasn't a game today," he said.
For Northrop, fashion is an opportunity to make an impression. "They may not know your name or your story," he explained. "But they know what you have on." Like Margiela: A brand with a recognizable aesthetic typically sold at a steep price, offered to those who patiently waited their turn on a cold November morning.

Protect Nature for our future: Children's message to Commissioner Vella
Today in Brussels, over 7,500 school children from Belgium decided to use their drawings to give EU Environment Commissioner Karmenu Vella their wish for a world where humans can live in harmony with nature.
This is their message to the European Commission:
"We are writing this letter to Jean-Claude Juncker (European Commission President) and Karmenu Vella (European Commissioner for the Environment). Thank you for listening to us.
We have noticed that pollution increases and nature and the animals are suffering from it. We are children but every time we take a decision, we think first of its impact on the environment. For example, we wanted to release balloons in the sky but we thought about it and did not do it because it could cause pollution. Even though it would have been really nice to do it, we don't want to kill animals. Environment is in our priorities and comes before what we want!!!
And you? Do you always think about the environment before you take your decisions??? Because your decisions are important for nature and our future. We are children and the future is before us.
Can you re-create icebergs for polar bears? Can you resuscitate bees who die each day because of pesticides? Can you make sure we don't get cancer because of some toxic products?
If you can't, then we are demanding that you take good decisions for you, for us, for the future.
Thank you for listening to us."

text: CharlotteBeer.com 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 A few days ago, Steve Smith made headlines when he said he no longer wanted to be a No. 1 receiver. Now another Carolina Panthers receiver is echoing Smith's statement. "Yeah, I heard Steve say that," said Dwayne Jarrett. "And I don't blame him. I don't want to be a No. 1 receiver either." This much is evident by Jarrett's tenure in Carolina, in which he has amassed 388 yards in three years with the team. In the last game of the season, Jarrett did catch his first touchdown pass from Matt Moore, inspiring hope in Carolina fans. Jarrett, however, doesn't anticipate moving up the gameday roster any time soon. "I've been here three years already," Jarrett said. "I've been the third receiver, the fourth receiver. A lot of Sundays I haven't even been activated. I don't want to be one of those guys who just can't let it go. Just like Carter and Colbert made way for me, I've got to prepare for someone else to come in and take my place." Most analysts suspect the Panthers will indeed draft a wide receiver, possibly with their first pick. When asked who that might be, Jarrett wouldn't mention any names. "You just never know who could come in and compete for the fourth or fifth-receiver spot," said Jarrett. "Maybe I'm a little biased, but I'd look at someone out of USC."
