– By James R. McCormick, Jr., Esq. (originally published in January, 1998)
A recent California case seems to say yes. The court in Kucera v. Lizza (1997) 97 D.A.R. 14787 recognized the ability of local municipalities to enact ordinances that are based purely on aesthetic consi-derations. While not directly applying to homeowners associations, other cases have likened homeowners associations to a local municipality because they often perform many of the same functions. Therefore, it may be the case that homeowners associations can regulate on the same basis.
The local ordinance analyzed in Kucera was meant to preserve views and sunlight against unreasonable obstruction by tree growth. The ordinance passed by the Town of Tiburon, grants persons:
the right to preserve and seek restoration of views or sunlight which existed at any time since they purchased or occupied a property, when such views or sunlight are from the primary living area or active use area and have subsequently been unreasonably obstructed by the growth of trees.
The ordinance further mandates that:
No person shall plant, maintain, or permit to grow any tree which unreasonably obstructs the view from, or sunlight reaching, the primary living area or active use area of any other parcel of property.
The Town of Tiburon felt so strongly about this issue that a violation based on any obstruction was also deemed a public nuisance. The Town further felt that any conditions of restorative action "should be recorded and run with the land to help guarantee permanent preservation of pre-existing views and sunlight."The main question involved in the case was whether the Town had the authority to enact this type of ordinance. The Town, joined by friend-of-the-court briefs filed by 71 other cities in California, argued that it had the authority based on its inherent police power. The opponents, however, maintained that this ordinance was outside the scope of the town's police power. The constitutional test used to determine the validity of such an ordinance is "whether it has a real or substantial relation to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare."
A stated goal of the ordinance was to maintain trees "in a healthy condition for both safety reasons and for preservation of sunlight and outward views." While safety is a mentioned goal, it was considered incidental to the primary aesthetic goal of preserving light and views. The Court noted that "the ordinance, in its stated objectives, is mainly concerned with aesthetic considerations."
Despite the fact that the stated primary consideration of the ordinance was aesthetic, the Court held this did not void the ordinance. Instead, the Court stated:
It is well settled that the state may legitimately exercise its police power to advance [a]esthetic values. 'The concept of public welfare is broad and inclusive. The values it represents are spiritual as well as physical, aesthetic as well as monetary.'
The Court also noted that these values could change over time. That is, what may not appropriately be exercised as a police power today, may well be appropriately exercised in the future. Due to changes in living conditions, the court felt that today, aesthetic purposes alone can justify assertion of the police power. Thus, the court held:
The Tiburon ordinance is directed toward a valid police-power goal to preserve views and sunlight. Tiburon's choice of regulating obstructing trees and tree growth obviously bears a reasonable relationship to the achievement of those goals.
Homeowners associations often regulate based on aesthetic considerations. For example, many architectural rules are based on what the developer, board of directors or architectural committee deems to be aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, homeowners associations often establish rules and regulations similar to those established by local municipalities. This could be an important decision for homeowners associations in that it expands traditional police power to include rules based primarily on aesthetic considerations.

You make time appear distorted, colours appear brighter, sounds more sharper and things seem to change shape. Sometimes people are frightened by you and get scared of everything. You mess people up, one minute they could be laughing the next they are sobbing. Sometimes you disress people so much they try to commit suicide.

No Monday Morning Quiz This Week
Sorry, kids, no quiz this week. My weekend included a 13 hour Baldur's Gate, Dark Alliance marathon (note: in future, my friend Dan and I should not have playdates without the supervision of a responsible adult, as clearly neither of us fit that description); and although we did accomplish the completion of 2/3 of the game in one sitting, things like laundry and running errands were not as neatly met. Therefore, I had to spend today doing grown-up things, and I haven't had time to dig up a fun quiz for you.

The economic crisis has most states facing tough decisions about cuts in services. Florida is among several states that have opted to cut funds from the public defender system, which provides lawyers to poor people charged with crimes. Arthur Jones was a public defender in the Miami-Dade County court system. When Florida slashed the budget, Arthur barely had time to meet some of his clients, let alone spend time at home with his two children. He talks with Dick Gordon about how he came to the decision to quit the job he loved, and why he thinks the health of the criminal justice system matters to all of us.

Mid-Year "Food 4 Thought" Conference 2015
The half day, Mid-Year ' Food 4 Thought ' Conference, held at the Portuguese Club, Milnerton, on Saturday 7 November 2015, was attended by 170 Lions & Leos and approximately 30 guests.
DG Sue was presented with a Melvin Jones Fellowship by Lion President Sundru of Kirstenbosch.
The Leos used their artistic talent to decorate the tables with donated vegetables which in turn were given to a school feeding scheme. Delegates were asked to bring tins of food which will be distributed by the Leos to various food projects.
We were fortunate to have two excellent guest speakers; Michelle Wridgeway on Diabetes Awareness and Jeremy Opperman, with his dog Gatsby, on SA Guide Dogs. Those present had the opportunity of meeting 'our' two black Labrador puppies, Leo and Melvin, who thoroughly enjoyed all the attention.
1st VDG Lance Maytham, assisted by PDG Paula Lang, presented the Long Service Awards. PDG Denis Slade was present to receive his 55 Year Award, but unfortunately, the other recipient, Cyril Fisher, was unable to attend.
The Conference concluded with the announcement of the top three Peace Poster Winners, two of whom were present to receive their prizes.

It is possible to make a commitment to invest whilst at the same time paying down debt. This is a positive step, investing for the future and at the same time being committed to reducing any debt that you have accumulated, up to this point in time.
To do this successfully you will need to have written a budget and worked out a surplus amount that you can use for paying down debt and investments. It is important to pay down debt because it will give your more money to spend or invest each month, and long term you will pay less interest on your debts, potentially shortening the term. Investing money will mean that you will have a nest egg that you can nurture over time and help to grow and develop whilst it is working hard for you.
Paying down debt
To do this successfully you need to order your debt with the highest interest rate at the top, this is the one that you work with first. Pay off the minimum balance and then use your surplus, which you will split between this and the investment, and pay off some of the balance that you owe and this will reduce the total amount owed.
You need to find somewhere that your money is going to work hard for you and you need to think of this as a long term account. Searching for the best place for your money isn't going to be easy. You need to find a place that will offer you some great return for your money. If you do not have any other savings accounts then you need to think about access. Ideally, you do not want to touch this money but if it means using your savings or taking out a loan then you would be better to use your savings. This could mean that you will need to find a place where if you did need access then you would be able to use the money.
If you have an emergency account you could think about long term investments, where you can't touch them for a minimum of five years. These types of account should give you the better rate of interest. Some of these accounts want a minimum amount invested, if this is the case, save the money that you want to use for investing until you have a sizable amount which you can then invest.
So, you can see from split investment with paying down debt, you will have reduced your amount of overall debt that you owe, but you will have started to invest some of your money into working harder and more productive for you. This will be the start of creating a new understanding with your money, no longer will you let it slip through your fingers, and you will start to think about what it can do for you, how you can put your money to work in a positive way.

The Routledge Companion to British Media History provides a comprehensive exploration of how different media have evolved within social, regional and national contexts.
The 50 chapters in this volume, written by an outstanding team of internationally respected scholars, bring together current debates and issues within media history in this era of rapid change, and also provide students and researchers with an essential collection of comparable media histories.
The first two parts of the Companion comprise a series of thematic chapters reflecting broadly on historiography, providing historical context for discussions of the power of the media and their social importance, arranged in the following sections:
The subsequent parts are made up of in-depth sections on different media formats, exploring various approaches to historicizing media futures, divided as follows:
The Routledge Companion to British Media History provides an essential guide to key ideas, issues, concepts and debates in the field.
Chapter 40 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at www.tandfebooks.com/openaccess. It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.
"This will be the first port of call for students and lecturers around the world wanting to understand British media history. It covers a wide spectrum, summarises existing research, and breaks new ground. It is a landmark book."
- James Curran, Professor of Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
"This impressively comprehensive compilation of essays on British media history comprises 50 essays by a wide range of scholars from universities throughout the UK. More than a typical historical analysis, the book problematizes (in Karen Weekes's definition) media history in considering whether media are a cause or a symptom of a larger cultural phenomenon. This cultural contextualization and interdisciplinary approach to media history offers an invaluable contrast to the more economically induced pressures of time and space created by the diverse digital media market environment. Another strength of the book is that the editors… planned it to reach "the widest possible range of readers"; at that, the book is a brilliant success… This volume is an invaluable resource for the study of British media history… Summing Up: Highly recommended."

Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) is a giant online travel company, providing travel and related accommodations at hotels, hostels, apartments, vacation rentals, and other properties. In the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the company's revenues grew 15% year-over-year (y-o-y) to $11.3 billion. This revenue growth was largely driven by growth across operating segments. In addition, the company's gross bookings grew 16% y-o-y to $73 million, largely due to a 13% growth in accommodation room night reservations during this period. While the company's focus on increasing its direct business and reducing the dependence on performance marketing channels will likely be a drag on its performance in the short term, we believe that its strategy to drive loyalty and build a larger direct brand could increase its long-term value.
Going forward, we forecast Booking Holdings' revenue to increase more than 25% from fiscal 2017 through fiscal 2019. To arrive at our fiscal 2019 net revenue estimates for the company, we have broken down the revenue streams and estimated separately. We have also created an interactive dashboard on What Will Drive Booking Holdings' Near-Term Growth? which provides a detailed analysis of how to arrive at this growth figure. You can make changes to these variables to arrive at your own revenue estimates for the company. We maintain our price estimate for Booking Holdings at $1907, which is about 10% ahead of the current market price.
- Why Has Booking Holdings' Stock Remained Level Since 2017 Despite Strong Revenue Growth?
- Higher Gross Bookings To Continue To Drive Booking Holdings' 2018 Results
- What Is Booking Holdings' Fair Value?
- Here's Why We Believe Booking Holdings Is Worth $2,064 Per Share
- Booking Holdings' Earnings To Surge Backed By Increased Gross Bookings
- After A Strong Start To The Year, What We Expect From Booking Holdings In 2018
Booking Holdings generates revenue from three segments: Agency, Merchant, and Advertising and other revenue. The company primarily generates its revenues from commissions earned from facilitating reservations of accommodations and rental cars on an agency basis. The company also derives net revenues and travel reservation commissions on a merchant basis and customer processing fees from its accommodation, rental car, airline ticket, attractions, in-stay services, and vacation package reservation services. In addition, the company also generates advertising revenues primarily from sending referrals to online travel companies and travel service providers.
Looking at fiscal 2019, we expect Booking Holdings' Agency gross bookings to reach $88 billion. The company has witnessed increased gross bookings over the past couple of years, primarily due to the bookings on Booking.com. With a take rate of 14.5%, we forecast the company's Agency revenues to reach $12.8 billion in 2019. Further, we expect the company's Merchant gross bookings to hit $13.9 billion in 2019. Despite a slight decline in its average daily rate over the years in this segment, significant growth across the night rooms booked has led to increased Merchant revenue. With a take rate of 17.5%, which is less than the previous year's figure, we estimate the company's Merchant revenues to grow to $2.4 billion in 2019.

Scott Oppenheim | Generative Art
Scott Oppenheim is a designer/digital artist with a passion for generative art, the combination of coding and fine arts. By mixing randomized algorithms with a vision of an artwork to create in mind, Scott reworks the code as many times as needed to achieve the end result. From bright to subtle, curvy to linear, each artwork requires ample gazing time to discover the intricate details. An expert in his field, Scott has published a tutorial on generative art in Issue 195 of Computer Arts Magazine. He's also won several awards for web design and advertising work. Having studied classical drawing and color theory in the past, and currently working as senior interactive designer for the branding and interactive agency CHIEF in Washington D.C., Scott propels generative art as both a lead actor and influential artist in the movement.
1. You currently work as a Senior Producer for a branding agency in Washington D.C. Does your personal work influence your work work, and vice versa? What other creative talents do you exercise in the office?
I always believe in doing the best work. Art is about personal expression and allows me to have a creative outlet for the ideas I have in my head. My professional work is about helping others tell their stories. My work is guided by the belief that design is more than the way something looks—it's the experience it provides.
2. Have you been a creative for as long as you can remember, or was there a sudden, life-changing "Ah-Ha" moment that led you to explore your artistic passions?
I've always had a passion for art. I remember an old Crayola drafting set I had as a child and a digital etch-a-sketch. Trying to create frame by frame animations on an etch-a-sketch from the 80's wasn't so easy. My mom was very artistic and my parents always encouraged me to play and experiment with different things. These same values guide the work I do today.
3. Generative art is really unique, and more rare than other techniques used in digital art. You must have your computer skills down pat – is this the case?
I've had access to a computer my entire life, but I wouldn't consider myself some kind of computer genius. I was always better at playing with/on a computer than programming one. It wasn't really until college that I began to learn programming.
4. You have also studied classical drawing and color theory. Are there other types of artworks you create besides generative art that we should know about? ☺
I like to draw and paint.
5. For those who are new to the generative art field, can you walk us through your technique? What software / programs / tools do you use to bring your ideas to life? How does one foresee, or plan out, the desired outcome of generative artworks? (sorry that was two questions☺
First off, I have to give a shout out to Eric Natzke and Joshua Davis, two pioneers of this awesome digital art process. I discovered Natzke's work while trying to find inspiration for a project at work and then later discovered Josh's work. Every artist has an affinity for a certain style and I immediately connected with their work. I was lucky enough to attend a couple conferences to see them speak, and they were kind enough to share their process and enough code to get me started. My "toolkit" includes the Adobe Creative Suite, an iMac and a Wacom tablet. I think it's personal and based on a lot of different factors. For me, it depends on my inspiration and vision. I do not always have a desired outcome; sometimes, I have a general sense and I am able to capture it at the perfect moment. The outcome is not 100% guaranteed and that is part of the beauty of it. Personally, I am drawn to the chaotic nature of generative art and how quickly it allows me to express my ideas, but I have also tried to bring order to my art through the use of grid systems.
6. Over the past few years we've learned that our artists' creative juices flow much easier under certain conditions. Are there any "must haves" in your creation environment? E.g. coffee, U2's greatest hits, fuzzy socks?
No, I can create anywhere.
7. Balancing work life and time for personal art is often hard. What advice do you give to aspiring artists who hope to excel in their own artistic endeavors, as well as in their professional day-to-days?
You have to have passion for what you do, never give up, believe in yourself, and surround yourself with supportive friends and family.

Ekphrastic poetry is generally in response to art, usually paintings, and this poem's opening gesture is ekphrastic. It even compares the mother to Venus, to marble. But then it goes on to treat the photograph as a sort of window, a portal wherein the mother jumps across space and time. Elegiac, yes, but the poem is ultimately celebratory. It celebrates flirtatious refusals. Time falls from the wrist of this mother. She is "nebulous perfection." Jim Croce sings to her. She is eternally laughing.

In Manaus, Brazil, where the Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes meet, they flow together as distinct ribbons of color. They're like two friends, arm-in-arm, striding together toward the sea. These majestic rivers are visible proof that solidarity amid difference is a natural and sustainable state. And when they come together, downstream, they create the mighty Amazon, lifeblood of a continent which, like our communities, would not exist if not for its tributaries.
At Manaus, we believe that solidarity is more powerful than charity. That harmony in our communities requires not
We recognize that, in this valley, justice is often episodic: A moral adventure for the powerful to impart their truth.
The best solutions come from the people and communities we live in. To build those solutions, we work
Our Philosophy
We will invest in just about any kind of project. It doesn't need to fit within a narrow range of "expertise" or "key initiatives."
At Manaus, we give ourselves the freedom to make any initiative our key initiative, as long as it has the potential to strengthen the community. Our principle of user-centered design, explained above, allows us to execute across a wide range of topics, fields, and partnerships.
By our thinking, investment success at the local level is also success on a global level. Every community is, in some way, intertwined with the rest — so when you embolden even one group, you're accelerating progress everywhere. This is how we think of our investment dollars: As fuel for change across the globe.
"Traditional charity tends to be doing it TO them or doing it FOR them. MANAUS is building a
model where we do it WITH them. The model may not be entirely sin-free, but there is a conscious
effort to build a partnership of equals." —George Stranahan
We're looking for a few individuals who embrace risk who want to disrupt the way things are done and the solve problems nobody else has been able to solve.
We won't accomplish that by asking for the same predictable, comfortable investments of time, energy, or money you might be used to. We'll do it, above all, by harnessing your passion, your energy, your desire for something different — by digging deep.
Our vision is exploratory. We have not prearranged the coming years' investments or initiatives, since doing so can limit our impact.
Our board is currently growing, and we need talent and resources. Maybe you're the right fit for us, and maybe we're that vigorous, unconstrained organization you've been after.
We've done our best to put our philosophy, goals, and character into this publication. But the greatest community advancements start with personal conversations.
Talk with us and we can imagine, together, what we can accomplish alongside our neighbors here in the Roaring Fork Valley.
User-Centered Design
We're guided by what you could call user-centered design thinking. Our expertise isn't in one or two fields or issues, but in a process of creating solutions in almost any context. This process is about enabling members of the community to build solutions that will work for them, not putting a pre-fabricated solution in front of them. User-centered design creates phenomenal benefits to a project's focus, practicality, and longevity. Here's how we do it in practice, using three steps.
The beginning of any project is a time for listening and learning not telling people what to do. That's the only way we can truly assess the promise of a proposal or understand the needs of a community. What does this process look like? It looks personal, for one thing we spend time in any community we serve and relate deeply with those we're working with. Community leaders have asked us why we say so little in our initial meetings with them, and we always respond the same way: Because we're listening hard. Normally, this stage also involves copious, deep research. Because of the variability of our projects, almost every one is a learning opportunity for us. Like good researchers in any other context, we seek to over-learn a topic before we pretend to have anything to say about it.
After listening and researching, possible solutions start to leap out, one after another. This is a thrilling time in any project. Alongside our community partners, we dare to think big reaching for answers nobody has ever thought of, even (or especially) the risky ones. As a team of thinkers and dreamers, our early ideas naturally scatter in all directions, but then a beautiful thing happens: We converge on solutions that are inspiring, workable, and often elegantly simple. Throughout this process, ideas come up, are explored and revised, and are often thrown out. When we create an environment of freedom and imagination, we unleash ourselves from from the constraints of precedent. Along the way, we remind ourselves to question our intuitions. Why? Because intuitions can actually be biases masquerading as answers. Moreover, our first intuitions about a project or problem can be repetitious or non-innovative because they're informed by what we've seen or heard elsewhere. We aren't looking for the expected idea. We're looking for the right one.
2. Imagine
You're accelerating progress everywhere. This is how we think of our investment dollars: As fuel for change across the globe.We're looking for a few individuals who embrace risk who want to disrupt the way things are done and the solve problems nobody else has been able to solve. We won't accomplish that by asking for the same predictable, comfortable investments of time, energy, or money you might be used to. We'll do it, above all, by harnessing your passion, your energy, your desire for something different by digging deep. Our vision is exploratory. We have not prearranged the coming years' investments or initiatives, since do-ing so can limit our impact.
Our board is currently growing, and we need talent and resources. Maybe you're the right fit for us, and maybe we're that vigorous, unconstrained organization you've been after. The key here is ownership: Anything we help create will be owned and operated by those with whom we've partnered not "installed" by some detached team of consultants. Here and into the future, this allows the community to advance and thrive under its own power, for its own sake.
3. Launch
Our diligence and exploration up to this point usually result in programs that are practical, inspired, and sustainable. Manaus believes in enabling the communities or organizations we influence to thrive on their own post-launch. In other words, we know we've built something great when Manaus becomes completely unnecessary to run it.
The key here is ownership: Anything we help create will be owned and operated by those with whom we've partnered not "installed" by some detached team of consultants. Here and into the future, this allows the community to advance and thrive under its own power, for its own sake.
Is It Fair?
Any child on a playground recognizes what's fair and what's not. You take what is not yours, or you ignore someone else who needs help we know what these things mean. Even in adulthood, fairness, as a concept of justice, is clear and useful. It has yet to be hijacked, politicized, or turned into a cliche.
So, at Manaus, we ask a simple guiding question: Is it fair?
Is it fair that our neighbors' children have no access to school readiness programs because of their income?
Is it fair that those kids' parents, despite the ferocious love they feel for their family, can't always be present because they're working three jobs?
Is it fair that any member of our community should live under constant fear of legal retribution?
Is it fair that the Roaring Fork Valley is filled with well-meaning individuals and families who know next to nothing about their neighbors' lives and struggles?
The best solutions for a given community almost always come from within that community. Unfortunately, our communities are deteriorating. Not long ago, our local communities were our anchors. We knew our neighbors, relied on them, shared in their struggles and successes. We were usually different than them, and that's one reason why their day-to-day influence was so enriching.Today, that has changed. Our sense of community is often dominated by insulated affiliations organized online, which means we're less often in direct, personal contact with those around us. We're shielded. Our idle time is consumed by tightly curated, isolating experiences rather than imaginative forays into someone else's life. In other words, although we're digitally connected to all the world's knowledge we're not connected to each other.
Fortunately, we can reclaim this sense of community that we've lost. Much of Manaus's work involves community organizing and community-building — not just as tactics for meeting project goals, but as ways to strengthen our most enduring, cherished bonds.
The Power of Community Organizing
Manaus believes in making bold, well-considered risks. Risk is not the same as recklessness it requires the complementary values of prudence and daring, and the courage to be open to any idea even ones that others would discard as unworkable. Sometimes an idea, ultimately, is too risky or a bad investment. But sometimes we're surprised by its hidden potential and by the fact that nobody else has embraced it yet. Ideas like this are often the ones that truly disrupt and change communities.
Manaus also understands that, as humans, risk is in our blood. Our distant ancestors knew how to embrace risk-taking as a normal and healthy part of navigating the world that it added value and richness to the human experience. We're grateful for that lesson and have seen time and time again how useful it is as a business practice.
Solidarity > Charity
All too often, charity is a one-directional flow from giver to receiver. This model is as morally presumptuous as it is ineffective. When our neighbors suffer, we don't hand them outcomes we listen to them with great care, and then we contribute our energies and talents so that they might empower themselves, reorient their lives, and control their own destinies.
Imperfectly as we might apply this rule, it gets us closer to the sacredness of service: the humility that says "I am your neighbor, and you are your own leader." Under this model, the savior becomes the listener, the learner. The saved becomes the impetus, the teacher. The impact extends well beyond the original project. The charity becomes solidarity.
Third Street Center
Third Street Center is an invaluable community and work space in Carbondale, primarily serving nonprofits and artists in the region. Created through a renovation of the old Carbondale Elementary School building, it is home to 42 organizations: 30 nonprofits, seven artists, and five small businesses.
Valley Settlement
Valley Settlement Project, known to-day as Valley Settlement, began as a Manaus-funded initiative but has branched off into a self-sustaining non-profit of national recognition. For us, it is both a proof point and a program-matic inspiration.
Mountain Voices Project
Manaus believes that community organizing is the best way to engage all people in a community to create change and achieve social justice. The result is the Mountain Voices Project (MVP), which is en-gaging institutions from Rifle to Aspen and to Vail in building a broad-based organiza-tion in the region.
Lessons Learned
With considerable reflection, we've looked back at the last 14 years and assessed where we've been successful, and not, and why. If you study your own organization long enough and take your ego out of it, you'll see the patterns.
We believe that imperfect projects can be the most instructive ones. For that reason, Manaus doesn't "move past" our failures we lean toward them, grateful for their lessons. Likewise, when we succeed, we resist the temptation to bask too long in that success. We observe it, interpret it, and apply it.
Lessons from failure
Don't hesitate to move on. Although we devote ourselves 100% to any initiative we support, we don't dwell on it if things don't work out. That takes resources, time, and imagination away from the next great idea.
Partner with people who follow through. A project's success isn't just about the spark of an idea. It's about following through on commitments for the full life cycle of the initiative. We're stringent about choosing partners we know have the endurance and follow-through for the task at hand.
Remember that this is about people. Even failed projects can have positive impacts. If we look past the balance sheet to the people, we can observe positive impacts that remind us of why we do what we do.
Lessons from success
Resist becoming formulaic. This organization has never been overly formulaic we follow our instincts and support projects that thrill us and show us something new. We have no quota. We have no "in-scope" limitations.
When you invest, invest for real. If we decide to support a project, we decide to support it fully. That means providing adequate funding to enable a project to experiment and succeed, but it's about much more than money. We also invest a great deal of our time, expertise, and hands-on effort. This is why each investment we make is such a thrill! We're giving our best talents and energy, from inception to completion.
Design self-sufficiency into every project.
We propel projects that will later operate on their own, in some cases repaying our initial investment. This is not a fiscal strategy: It is a justice strategy. Only when new, community-changing organizations stand on their own feet do we consider our job done.

Spiced Apple Crumble
Every year we head up to the hills to apple season in Oak Glen. We gorge on carmel apples and apple cider and cider donuts - which are basically just donuts with cinnamon, but hey, I'm not arguing. After we get back and the sugar hangover has subsided, I still crave that fall flavor. Apples in season have such a natural sweetness that it's really a shame to mess with them too much! So I put together this recipe for nutty-buttery-crumble-topped spiced apples, grain free, low sugar, guilt-free!
Sugar Detoxers - skip the maple/honey - and I promise, you won't even miss it!
Apple Crumble
(serves 4-6)
5-6 apples (tart like Granny Smith works well)
juice of one lemon
1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional - still delicious without!)
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
6 TBSP grass-fed butter, (or ghee) melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
· preheat oven to 350 degrees
· peel apples and slice into rough chunks. In a large bowl toss the apples in lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and honey/maple if using
· in another bowl, combine the melted butter (or ghee) with the almond meal, pecans, coconut flakes, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, with a fork until a crumbly mix
· place your apple mix into a 9x9 square, or alternately use a glass pie dish, or small personal ramekins
· top the apples with the crumble mix, and press down gently to form a "crust"
· cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes with the foil on; then remove the foil and bake for 25 more to brown the top.
· enjoy with a dollop of fresh whipped heavy cream!

I have a 44 gallon pentagon tank and im wanting a lion fish its my favorite fish on earth. Now do i have to do anything special do they sell really thick gloves to clean the tank because i know they are poisonus. The last thing is has anyone ever had problems with lionfish killing the others with its spines like at night or something

You do realize that this fish is SALTWATER? The fish in your previous posts are all FRESHWATER. The fish list you stated earlier will not survive in a saltwater setup, and the Lionfish can't be in a freshwater setup. You're going to have to choose one and stick to it.

Hmmm, I actually have seen thick gloves that go up to the shoulder, but not at a fish store, just in a catalog. I'd try a store that sells fishing supplies.
I have not heard of lionfish killing other fish with their venom. They will leave alone fish that are too big for them to eat.
There are a number of species of lionfish, most of which grow too large for a 44 gallon. A fuzzy dwarf lionfish (Dendrochirus brachypterus) could be small enough, but since I don't know your tank's dimensions I'm not 100% sure, since hex tanks tend to be taller rather than longer and wider. You might only be able to keep a juvenile lionfish, not an adult, which means it'd be preferable to upgrade eventually.

I have seen the 45 g pentagon tanks, its a corner type tank, it actually looks exactly like an xlg 1 gal corner style betta tank... a triangle with 2 extra small sides to make 5 sides if that makes any sence... about as tall as it is wide.

yes i know its saltwater after a discussion with my friend me and him are going to make this tank ours and go halves on it since saltwater can be pricey and here are the dimensions 21-15/16"L x 25"W x 25-7/8"H but yes i want a lionfish bad and im wanting a small snowflake eel as well but since eels have poor eye sight i dont want him to run into the spines

Ah, I have seen that pentagon tank now that I see it...
There is absolutely no danger of the eel running into the lionfish's spines. I haven't heard of morays having really bad eyesight...? Morays with lionfish are a tried and true combination, they are both quintessential saltwater predators that ignore fish too big to eat.
Well, of course the snowflake eel won't stay small forever, but a 44 gal would work pretty well for some time since they're pretty inactive.
The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Top 21 Questions to Ask Before Booking a Vacation Home
If you are planning to vacation in rustic vacation spots, then you will have to do your due diligence and ask the right questions. The quality of the vaction home, and therefor your vacation, will depend on your ability to ask the right questions.
As such, we will go through some important questions you need to ask vacation property owners right at the time you start your search.
Booking a Vacation Home and Questions to Ask
• How many vacationers are permitted to stay at the vacation home at a time?
• What is your family member count exceeds that maximum limit? Will any "per person" fees be charged, and if so, how much it would be?
• How many beds are available at the vacation home? Are they enough to accommodate everyone in your family?
• Can property owner provide details of bed configuration for all the individual rooms?
• What about bathroom configuration? If there are two bathrooms, will one of them be outside (since such a thing can happen if you are visiting rustic vacation spots)?
• Is there a cancellation policy? Does it describe what would happen with payment you have made in case you have to cancel the trip?
• What are the things which are not part of the price you would be paying for the vacation home rental and what is included?
• Are there any extra charges which might be added into final price?
• Do you have to pay a separate cleaning fee or any type of cleaning deposit?
• Will the vacation home provide daily housekeeping service? Is cost for the same already included in the price?
• Will it be necessary for you to bring in your own linen or will it be provided by the vacation home?
• Is the vacation home equipped with toiletries?
• Does the vacation home provide proper access to internet? Is Wi-Fi available? Are there separate charges for use of internet?
• What facilities does vacation home provide? Will there be a dishwasher, a dryer or a washer?
• Is kitchen fully furnished with dishware, tea kettle, silverware, cooking items, coffee pot, refrigerator, food processor, blender, and microwave oven?
• Is the vacation home close to popular and well-known rustic vacation spots of the region?
• How far away are the restaurants and grocery stores from vacation home?
• Will it be possible to make use of public transportation? Is it close enough to where vacation home is situated?
• What about parking? Is there a separate parking fees that you need to pay? How far away is parking space from vacation home?
• Whom you will have to contact in case any urgent situation arises, the property management company or the owner?
• How far are recreational facilities from vacation home?
If you ask the right questions you will be sure that your vacation home is exactly what you want, and that it will have all the amenities you and your family require for a happy vacation

October Is National Principals Month
Did you know October is National Principals Month? While we appreciate our school leaders year round, this month is a special time to honor principals for their leadership and vital work in schools.
National Principals Month is a broad celebration of the principalship, marked by national and state resolutions, formal awards and recognitions, and acknowledgments from U.S. senators and representatives and other top government officials. It is an opportunity to say "thank you" to principals across the nation and to share with the community all the great things that principals do.

Update on Proposed Federal Regulations
Please join me for a free webinar next week for AACTE members to discuss these issues: Monday, October 26, at 11:00 a.m. EDT or Tuesday, October 27, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
On September 16, the U.S. Department of Education transmitted its draft of its final rule (which is not publicly available) for the teacher preparation program regulations to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The next step in this process is that OMB will review the draft and work with the Department to craft the final rule. The final rule then will be released by OMB.
At this point in time, OMB will take meetings with stakeholders only on the proposal as drafted in December 2014. AACTE organized a group of 10-12 higher education and PK-12 national associations and met with OMB on October 7, 2015, to express our concerns as a profession with the proposed regulations, in particular focusing on the cost and burden of implementation.

Greenbrier Junior High community mentors, parents, teachers, students and administrators have been working hard to develop Wonder Women and Iron Men clubs lately.
The clubs include include guest speakers, community experiences and life lessons that support growing a heart of service in each of the students.
Greenbrier Junior High's ninth grade Wonder Women recently took a service field trip to Soul Food Cafe Mission in Conway with a goal to love and serve the many guests that depend weekly on the help of the mission for food, clothing, haircuts and daily living supplies.
Throughout the day, 38 students prepared and served hot lunches, washed and dried dishes, packed food boxes for pick-up, helped guests select and take home clothes and supplies and listened as many guests shared their stories.
"The participants worked hard without ever complaining," the school's website stated. "In fact, there were many times you could see or hear the joy the Wonder Women felt as they were serving."
After returning to school, several from the group reflected on the trip with hearts of gratitude and a passion to do more, the website stated.
"As a school community, we look forward to watching our students continue to grow in compassion and service to others as they prepare for college and career," read the website.

But because Tao is experiencing a career warfare, he wasn't included in Love Me Right album. Which means, he doesn't have any photocard.
So here is my photocard update as of July 13, 2015.
I have two Sehun's EXODUS Korean Press and two Call me Baby Korean Press.

TUESDAY PUZZLE — Crossword puzzles aren't well known for evoking emotions. You don't think about filling in empty squares and tearing up as you solve, but I'll freely admit that I went a bit mushy when I saw where today's theme was headed.
Constructors who can work quickly will sometimes pull together a puzzle when a person of note dies. We recently lost a beloved actress who had been through a lot in her life, and it touched me that Timothy Polin decided to make a tribute puzzle for her.
Today's Theme
Today's puzzle is dedicated to CARRIE FISHER, who died on Dec. 27, 2016, a day before her equally famous mother, the film star Debbie Reynolds, died as well.
Ms. Fisher was a fabulous performer and witty writer who portrayed some hilariously quirky women and wrote both fiction and nonfiction, but she was never able to outrun her most famous character, PRINCESS LEIA of the "Star Wars" franchise. Generations of science fiction fans remember her for her unusual hairstyle (some remember the gold bikini more, but today we're celebrating her hairstyle) and her romance with Han Solo.
Click here to see the theme elements that are spread throughout the puzzle.
Tricky Clues
■ 1A: How intimidating is it to be asked to recall a specific act in a play or the key in which a piece of music is played? How are you supposed to remember when Polonius said "Brevity is the soul of wit?" The answer is, you're not, even if you were a literature major. You can solve pretty easily using the crossings. The five-letter slot means that the first word has to be ACT (which is proven once you get the Down entries AFFECT, CARRIE and TIE-INS), and 5D is easy: the answer is "IT'S a trap!" Now you have ACT _I, and that means that the answer has to be either ACT II or ACT VI or more, and there are only five Acts in the play. See? No need for a photographic memory to solve crosswords.
■ 22A: The answer to "Family member who was probably adopted," much to my confusion, was not MY KID SISTER. It's PET, and PET adoption is always a good idea.
■ 70A: The "Entitled sorts?" in today's puzzle is PEERS, as in PEERS of the realm, who typically have titles of nobility.
■ 9D: O.K., here's the thing about Rae Sremmurd. They are a RAP DUO from Georgia who released a song called "Black Beatles," which became a hit after it was adopted as the only soundtrack to accompany your Mannequin Challenge (What, you haven't done this? You're late to the party). Get to know them, because they are a vowelicious pair and if they have follow-up hits, I predict we'll see them quite a bit in puzzles:
■ 37D: I had _AW for awhile, until I figured out the center quote at 37A. #TIL that to YAW means to move back and forth along a flight path.
■ 49D: I don't watch a whole lot of fútbol, or soccer, but I don't think I've ever heard the players or the spectators shout OLE OLE. "Goooooooal," maybe.
■ 56D: This cracked me up. "Real head-turners?" are OWLS today, not people who are hot.
Your thoughts?
