Junior Boys Squash State Final
- 24 Aug 2017
The State Final for Junior Boys Squash was held recently at MSAC and it was with great excitement that McKinnon Secondary College was able to enter two teams of boys into the competition.
McKinnon 2: represented by Leevi Stein, Aaron Zachariah and Alex Burstall. Competing in the very tight Pool B, we managed to have three very tight matches against Marian College, Gladstone Park SC and eventual group winners Camberwell Grammar.
Despite only winning one of our pool games, we managed to finish second in the group with a resounding win over Gladstone Park and two very close losses to Marian and Camberwell.
In somewhat of an anticlimax, McKinnon 1 and 2 were pitted against each other in the playoff for the overall 3rd and 4th placing. The two teams were very evenly matched, however McKinnon 1 proved to be too strong in the end.
With the teams consisting of mainly Year 7s, the boys look forward to next year and taking it to a couple of steps further.

The Making of a European Economist
David Colander
Chapter 9: Stockholm School of Economics Interviews
David Colander
There are two interviews with Stockholm School students. The first interview was with a woman from Eastern Europe and a man from Sweden. The second interview was with a female Swedish student and a male student from another European country. INTERVIEW 1 How did you end up coming to Sweden? I did my undergraduate degree in economics in the US. Then I worked at a consulting company for a year. I applied to a variety of graduate schools, and this was the best offer I got. Initially I did not expect that I would continue teaching. Instead, I expected to go to an international institution such as the IMF or the World Bank. I only applied to the two schools in Stockholm because I had family reasons to live in Stockholm. I was considering other European universities. How did you judge among the different European universities? I followed standard reputation and talked to my adviser. By reputation, I'd say Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, LSE, UCL [Université Catholique de Louvain], and the Stockholm School of Economics rank in the top five in Europe. In some of them, however, you had to take a Masters program before entering the PhD program, and no one could give you guarantees about entering the PhD program. [Editor's note: that has since changed at many schools.] Here you did not. I heard that in one school only about 30 percent of the students actually pass the PhD program mainly because the school does not have room for...

Shop the Look Here -> Plaid Shirt // Distressed Jeans // Ankle Boots // Purse // Sunglasses // Scarf
Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope your week is going well so far! Justin and I have houseguests coming this weekend, which is always exciting - I love when we have family and friends come to Lexington :) It definitely feels more like summer rather than fall these days, which I have mixed emotions about. I've been force-wearing fall clothes, but let me tell you, that becomes quite a challenge when it's 85 degrees outside (sweat much?). I think that's about to change this weekend, though.
Going through my fall wardrobe, both new and old pieces, there are a few things in my closet that I realized have become staples for me - pieces that I constantly wear during the fall season and purchase year after year. So, I thought I'd share my five fall staples that you might also want in your closet!
My first staple is a plaid shirt - it just screams fall. They're great for an easy, casual look and it always looks cute. This specific top is one of my favorite new purchases. I love the simple white and black design - it's classic and can be paired with just about anything, in any color. Bonus: it's super soft AND less than $30! As Justin would say (sarcastically, of course), "it's so cheap, it's like we're making money." :)
I've been on a big denim-kick these days, so it's no surprise that my second staple is a good pair of comfortable jeans. I think black denim is great for the cooler season (props to those who wear them during summer)! I'm a sucker for distressed denim, but I know it's not for everyone; I just find it to be more casual, especially for black jeans. Good news -this pair does offer some stretch ...who doesn't love that?? They are on the pricey end, but Express offers deals regularly on their denim and other coupons that could also be applied. I've linked similar and less expensive pairs here, here, and here!
Who doesn't love a big, cozy scarf? If you don't, kindly leave this page ;) A scarf was a no brainer for my third staple. All of the styles, colors, and prints make it super easy to throw on a scarf with just about any outfit. I'm a big fan of the blanket scarf ! They're great for bringing along on those warm days, but chilly nights -perfect for throwing over your shoulders. This one from H&M is less than $13 (again, it's like we're making money over here). I love the soft blush tones because it'll go with so many other pieces I have.
My fourth fall staple is, of course, ankle boots. While they aren't just for fall anymore, it's when I definitely wear mine the most! I'm tall and all about the comfort, so this low heel is right up my alley. This style comes in a variety of colors, so be sure to check out the other options available! Note: They're expensive, but they ARE $30 cheaper if you buy them from Dillard's rather than Macy's (the link above and below will go to Dillard's website). I've linked similar and less expensive pairs here and here!
I couldn't make this list and not include a new purse, which is my fifth fall staple! I think it's great to change up your purse/bag every so often, and there's no better time than at the beginning of a new season. A purse is a great way to make a statement with your outfit - whether it's a pop of color or unique design, it can completely add to your overall look. I've been obsessing over everything plum-colored at the moment, so when I found this bag at Target, I couldn't help myself! On top of the color, I love the pattern and details as well - oh yes, and the fact that it's only $30.
I'm always looking to add to my closet, so what are some of your favorite fall staples? Be sure to leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

don't be a one-book dummy: Brendon's 2017 pop culture lessons
There are still about seven weeks left in 2017, so a year-in-review is, in some ways, premature. But I was born on November 9th, a date that will be associated with the ascendance of Donny T until his term ends. And so, as I've just celebrated a birthday and stress-napped my way through my destabilizing and still-not-fully-processed memories of last year, some taking stock is in order. With that in mind, here are some of the pop culture lessons I've learned over the past year.
You don't have to keep listening to the music you loved when you were 17. Good music always makes you feel 17. Nostalgia and novelty-seeking are two sides of the same coin. It's not so much that we're drawn to the particular pop artifacts of our youth. I think it's more that we want to feel about new things the way we felt about them when we were at the age of possibility. Yes, we want to have our minds blown and our hearts opened – but only because it ensures that we haven't lost the capacity for it.
It's better to fall asleep to something funny or informative than to something harrowing or otherwise opinion-dense. Leave the political or true-crime podcasts for daytime chores or commutes. Shows like Science Vs., a Gimlet Media podcast hosted by Australian science journalist Wendy Zukerman, are perfect for pleasant dreaming.
And If I Were You, a comedy advice podcast hosted by Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld, is probably the most consistently funny podcast around (especially while My Dad Wrote a Porno is between seasons). Their most recent episode featured actor and ever-delightful meme inspiration Ben Schwartz.
Nothing goes away. So giving up on that TV or book series that everyone is raving about is, like, fine. I never finished Stranger Things. I might never get back to it. I watched the first few episodes of season one, and was enjoying it. But everyone has that series that, for them, just won't be denied. The one for which burning through ten hours over a weekend is more happy accident than chore. I've had that experience with Mindhunter and, more recently, The Big Family Cooking Showdown. This Netflix show is co-hosted by Great British Bake-Off winner Nadiya Hussain and pits families from all over England in a three-challenge cooking tournament. Fans of GBBO, as well as Anglophiles and people who enjoy watching families other than their own squirm under kitchen-based pressure, will love this series.
When you know you're going to be in a waiting room for a while, two books is a must. Only dummies bring one book. I'm getting my summer tires swapped for snow tires this weekend (unrelated, but: what has my life become?) and I'll be alternating between two books while I wait out the service. The first one will be a trade paperback of Paper Girls, a sci-fi mystery series about four pre-teens who are caught between life, work, neighborhood bullies, and invading time-travelers. This is the best-colored comic I've ever read.[1] And the second book I'll be reading is Rabbit Cake, Annie Hartnett's debut novel from Tin House Books. In it, a ten-year-old girl called Elvis with a mind for facts and a penchant for snooping tries to keep her family from spinning out after the death of her mother, a chronic sleepwalker (and sleepswimmer). Don't be a one-book dummy.

"Three Women"
I'm at a rich man's house with my platoon
at night
to kill or capture the rich man.
Knock first, see if they open,
if not, go in hard.
Don't give them much time.
They open.
Soldiers run up the stairs, through rooms.
Three women are found and pushed into the front room,
one old, two young.
I start with the young woman.
Where's your father?
Crashing, thumping and yelling,
soldiers overturn furniture, scan rooms,
break cabinets, searching,
yelling "all clear" while running through the house.
Why is he in Jordan?
Her hand begins to shake.
I see she's beautiful,
mauve headscarf, earrings, makeup, dress and shawl.
She's poised, though afraid,
sitting on the edge of a low couch.
What business?
I don't know.
Her hand is shaking, quivering.
Is she eighteen, fifteen?
Oh, so beautiful, so dignified,
so poised – yes, poised,
though afraid.
Where does you father work?
I don't know.
Where does he get his money?
I don't know.
Her quivering and shaking hand,
soft, white, delicate,
she sits straight like she's trying to lift her head through the roof,
to rise above
so pretty, so poised,
though afraid.

Is reverse-commuting the new live-work-play?
Despite the once prevalent "live-work-play" trend, recent data shows that there are over 4.8 million reverse commuters out of major cities. This recent phenomenon comes at a time where people are moving into cities much more quickly than jobs are becoming available.
Historically, jobs would lead the charge—employees would follow where the jobs brought them. Nowadays, as Millennials and younger generations want to be near the hustle and bustle of city life, many choose to relocate to rent in the cities, even if the job opportunities are not present.
So, how is this affecting real estate? A growing number of companies are taking note of this trend, and some are even relocating to larger cities to be near the job demand. Conversely, suburban office developers are attempting to keep the talent close by, offering a wide range of amenities and overall improved culture to employees.
As unemployment hits historically low rates, companies hope that by offering an attractive workplace with a surplus of amenities, they will not have to rely solely on wages to entice top talent. With that, suburban companies are increasing commuter packages, hoping not only to attract but also retain employees.
So, regardless of how individual employees choose to separate or integrate their "live-work-play" lifestyle, companies are responding, and the workers are coming out as winners.

Adelaide United striker Bruce Djite is fit, fresh and ready to go for Friday's night clash with Melbourne Heart at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Adelaide United striker Bruce Djite is fit, fresh and ready to go for Friday's night clash with Melbourne Heart at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Djite has not featured for the Reds since injuring his groin as a substitute late in the game against Melbourne Victory on October 14.
It was originally feared the 24-year-old would be out of action for up to four weeks, but the former Gold Coast United attacker has returned quicker than expected.
Djite said it was a testament to Adelaide United's medical staff for getting him fit and ready ahead of schedule.
"Initially it was a four-week groin tear but I'm back to full training in two weeks and I think that's got a lot to do with the process and the way the medical staff have treated me here," Djite said.
"I've got to give a shout out to Adelaide United's medical staff because of the way they handled my injury to get me back ahead of schedule."
"The way they've done it is a testament to them ... the rehab has gone pretty smoothly and I'm fit, fresh and ready to go."
Following the embarrassing 7-1 loss to Brisbane Roar last week, Djite said it was important to recognise the result and make the necessary changes to remedy the issues from the poor showing.
"It's not something where we say 'let's forget about it and move forward', we have got to rectify the problems and maybe make some changes," Djte said
"But if we keep dwelling on it (the 7-1 loss) then it can hurt us ... so it's important to move forward and look to the next game, and that's what we are doing with Melbourne Heart."
Many pundits tipped the Reds for a top-two finish this year and Djite said it's up to the players to get back on track.
"I think everyone has got a lot to prove now."
"Training has been fantastic this week, everyone is fit, so the competition for places is hotter than it is before."
"Everyone has got to put their hand up now and show a bit of character and what we are about."
"I think we really do need to show the fans more than ourselves or anyone else, that we are a good team and that we are going to do them proud when they come to support us."

"We arrived quickly" – Russian cosmonaut Ovchinin unamused by booster failure
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Russian cosmonaut Aleksei Ovchinin sarcastically reacted to the failure of one of the boosters on his Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft on Thursday.
"We arrived quickly," he said in an unamused tone, as the malfunction forced the crew to initiate an emergency landing.
The Soyuz capsule is believed to have landed 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) away the town of Zhezqazghan in central Kazakhstan.
Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin and US astronaut Nick Hague were due to join the Expedition 57 crew aboard the International Space Station, and were originally scheduled to return to Earth in April 2019.

Tin roofing perhaps is the most affordable roofing material. Its material is also lightweight, durable, and relatively resistant to corrosion and give exceptional formation capacities. It can melt down snow and protect ice damming because it absorbs heat easily. For weatherproofing, tin is a competitive material.
For those who have tight budget, choosing tin roofing over any other metal roofing material like, lead, copper, aluminum, zinc, and galvanized iron or other roofing material rubber and cedar shake will be an excellent choice. Tin roofing has manageable maintenance and is easy to install. In mass housing program in US, it is widely used. Tin has comparable life span with other metal roofing.
Accumulation of dirt and stain is the common problem encountered by homeowners with regard to tin roofing. If there is not attended to at once, this will damage the roof overtime. On roof surfaces, signs of corrosion may start appearing. Some punctured surfaces were left unsealed during the installation of the tin roofs. When rain comes, these holes will leak. Right after the leaks were located, immediate care should be done. In valleys, roof-to-walls connections and the steepness of slope, leaking roofs are commonly present. Unsightly stains and dirt and possible leaks of these parts of the roof should be carefully checked.
Possible damage that rust brings to your roof can be remedied by coatings. On the other hand, to seep through leaks, sealants can help in stopping water. In the market, sealants and coatings are available. Among homeowners, electrometric material is commonplace.
In order to add beauty and touch of class to your roof, you can paint it. However, painting should not be mistaken as a coating substance, even though for a while it might serve the purpose. Sealants and coatings have unsightly patches that can be hidden by paint. It also can renew the look of your roofs. A well-maintained roof can be represented by a well-painted roof.
Just with water alone, tin roofing can easily clean. If the tin roofs are new, or tin roofs generally don't need strong chemicals to clean. To avoid accumulation of dirt which host microorganism that might destroy the roofs, washing the roofs should be done regularly. Mild chemicals should be used so that the color of the paint will be preserved and chipping off is prevented if there is stubborn dirt.
Tin roofing gives you more savings since it is truly affordable and durable. If utmost care to your roof is well considered, you can even get your money's worth.


text: Government gets social for OHS By Taylor Fredericks 02/03/2011| www.cos-mag.com Ontario Ministry of Labour Facebook page Provincial government agencies are getting on the social media bandwagon in an effort to increase health and safety awareness among younger and more tech-savvy audiences. The success of these initial efforts is making labour ministries across Canada take notice."If you think about it, it really wasn't even that long ago that people weren't sure if the computer was here to stay."Barrie Harrison, the spokesperson for Alberta Occupational Health & Safety, makes a pretty good point.The different ways in which we use digital technology have multiplied exponentially over the last fifteen years — a fact that has become increasingly evident with the advent of new social media sites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Gone are the days of dial-up internet and load times that feel like crowded waiting rooms. In their place is a new technological climate that puts an emphasis on digital communities, interactivity, and the speed with which we can share and obtain information. The times are clearly changing, and it's up to us to adapt.If you're wondering what this means for the future of occupational health and safety here in Canada, look no further than the country's provincial labour bodies and their desire to interact with workers via these new forms of social media.Manitoba's labour minister, Jennifer Howard, announced last week that the province is considering using Facebook as a means of getting safety information out to workers. Her comments came following a meeting of federal, provincial and territorial ministers last month in Winnipeg, where the issue of reaching out to younger demographics through social media was raised.Bruce Skeaff, a social media planner with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, feels it's a step in the right direction. "The ministers agreed that they want to use social media to aim health and safety messages at youth across the country in a coordinated way. Obviously it's an important topic from coast to coast to coast. We'll see what comes out of [it]."Social networking through YouTube, Twitter and Facebook are nothing new for Skeaff. Ontario's ministry moved quickly to capitalize on these new means of communication when it realized the potential of social media platforms to reach younger demographics and generate interest in health and safety issues. They're beginning to see the results pay off now."Our Twitter feed is just shy of two years old, and Facebook and YouTube just launched at the end of July [2010]," says Skeaff. "Their growth has been much more than we expected: Facebook is ticking upwards in terms of the number of fans at a rate of about 2% a week, week over week, with no let-up."One of the big draws of using these new forms of media is their ability to work in conjunction with one another to deliver a dynamic and multi-faceted message that both engages and informs young workers, while also generating exposure for important programs and issues.Skeaff notes that the ministry has had great success linking different types of media across each platform in order to create a comprehensive resource support system. "We cross-promote our Facebook page with our YouTube videos, where we have quite a number of health and safety videos, and now some employment standards videos, as well. Then we have our Twitter page, which we use as a headline news service. So we have a nice package of news on Twitter, information on Facebook, and education on YouTube.""We look at those three social media channels as spokes that we use — like spokes on a bicycle wheel — to get out to where people are already talking, or looking for information, or already discussing subjects that we're involved in. The hub that we can bring them back to if they want really detailed information is our main ministry website, so we can always draw people back there for really specific information."Ontario's Ministry of Labour is not alone in spearheading the health and safety social media movement. Skeaff points to WorkSafeBC as another provincial health and safety body that has effectively utilized new media platforms to reach a wider audience. A search on the provincial compensation board's website indicate it's currently using Twitter and YouTube for its social media activities. Alberta's Harrison, meanwhile, says the province's Department of Employment and Immigration is working to develop social media practices that are effective both now and in the future. As with any new technology, that can take time."We've had a number of campaigns in the past where we've used social media to help reach young workers," he notes. "For us, it's been campaign-based to date. It's not to the point of day-to-day activities with occupational health and safety. I anticipate there may be a time when we could get into that more with the likes of Twitter."The province already has a YouTube account, but has yet to utilize either Facebook or Twitter. Harrison feels that's a state of affairs that might soon change."I think we also want to make sure that we study it and do it right. We're not jumping into it with a blindfold on. We are aware that, certainly going forward, it has to be a huge part of how we communicate."And while patience is a virtue, Harrison also understands the importance of making the most of the opportunity to reach out to young workers in an environment where they're comfortable."I think we'd be remiss if we didn't always look at better ways of reaching workers in this province. Clearly, we have a significant number of younger workers, particularly in the oil and gas sectors, as well as other sectors. We're certainly aware of some of these avenues that are available to us. We've been experimenting through our campaigns to see what works. We [are] looking at ways to try and reach them, and [trying to find] the best way."In order for their efforts to pay off, however, Harrison insists that the province must leave the lines of communication open and start a dialogue with the workers they are trying to reach."We want to make sure that whatever we do is also interactive. We're strong believers of two-way communication. It's not just us pushing the message to them: we want to be able to hear back from them, too. We want to take a look at all the options before us to make sure we have our bases covered."Speaking from experience, Skeaff feels that's one of the biggest benefits of a media platform like Facebook."We originally launched the Facebook page to provide a sort of a town square where people could come and share stories about their experiences in the workplace," he explains. "What we found out, though, was that the public was coming to us looking for help, and looking for answers to questions. Since that's what the public told us, that was what they wanted to do, we were quite happy to change our strategy and begin answering individual questions." The other nice thing about acting as an information resource on a site like Facebook or Twitter is that it doesn't preclude you from promoting awareness more generally, or creating exposure and buzz for upcoming projects and campaigns."That's what we do on Facebook, as well as publishing articles of interest," says Skeaff. "We have been doing a 'Tip of the Day' for the last week or so as part of the launch of the new Employment Standards Awareness Campaign. We're now going to be doing a tip of the week regularly throughout the year, some of them health and safety-related, some of them employment standards related."Utilizing new social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook is also thriftier than your average provincial awareness campaign. As a pioneer of the Ontario ministry's foray into this new world of communications, Skeaff appreciates the way these sorts of resources help to sidestep some of the traditional budgetary obstacles new health and safety initiatives are often faced with."Because this is so new to ministries like ours, there hasn't traditionally been a budget item set aside for social media," he notes. "We have developed all of this in-house, and the only cost has been the salary time of the employees, which is definitely a bonus."For the many organizations that have already hopped on to the social media bandwagon, the decision to get involved in these new forms of digital communication seems like common sense— especially when one considers the potential benefits of using social media to reach out to workers across the country against the low monetary risk involved in developing these sorts of programs.The only questions that remains is, how soon can tomorrow come?

Zoe at 1kHz sampling, 8s flight from Andy Baker on Vimeo.
If you are interested in what triggered the transformation, have a look at these comments.
The net results are I'm getting perfect data reads at 1kHz sampling and alpf set to 2. And that's as good as the sensor can possibly provide.
So Zoe is good enough for the Cotswold Jam on Saturday (sold out, sorry), and my employer's Engineering Conference the following week, and hopefully the Raspberry Pi Birthday Party in early March.
There's probably some PID tuning to be done that might stop the low-frequency wobbles due to the gyro PID I gain being a bit too enthusiastic. That would then curtail the drift too.
I'll post more videos if that turns out to be true.

Sludge Treatment Incinerator Facility
Sludge Treatment Incinerator Facility
- Nim Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong
- Government of Hong Kong S.A.R.
- Veolia Water - Leighton - John Holland Joint Venture
- January 2011
Project Highlights
The Company has been awarded the contract and is mobilizing portable modular Air Diving Systems onto the site and will be performing the diving services required for the advance works program phase of the construction work.
Located in the western part of the New Territories and to be owned by the Hong Kong Government, the facility is critical to the region's wastewater treatment capacity and, at 2,000 metric tonnes per day, will be the biggest sewage sludge incineration facility ever built.
The plant will generate its own energy, being self sustaining and virtually self-sufficient, and combines proven technologies with leading innovations in receiving and treating dewatered sewage sludge from sewage treatment works.
The facility's building derives inspiration from the sea and hills of Deep Bay and will provide a distinct landmark along the northwest coast of Hong Kong. Its wave-form structure has been designed by leading French architects Vasconi & Associates and developed by local architect and engineers, P&T.
Also included in the project will be an Environmental Education Centre to foster community education and engagement, along with landscaped gardens and the creation of a habitat for water birds.

First Impressions-A Jam Session/
By Andy Teirstein
On March 13th, we gathered a distinguished group of artists from varied backgrounds at the Suzanne Dellal Center for Dance and Theater. Each artist was asked in advance to consider ways that their artistic practice is inspired by, or in dialogue with a particular cultural tradition. They were also asked to prepare a short personal expression—a simple song learned as a child, or a folk dance—emanating from their own communal cultural roots. Although we didn't have time to explore these responses, they gave the artists a sense of the project's impetus. We hope to follow up on a deeper level when we return.
Iris Erez, Leia Weil, Ian Robinson, Stephanie Troyak, Yasmeen Godder, Adi Boutrous, Idan Toledano, Miriam Toukan, Amal Murkus, Neta Elkayam, Amit Hai Cohen, Aharon and Liron Amram, Pam Pietro, Andy Teirstein
The evening was an entree to two planes of cultural encounter: The first was the encounter of various geo-cultural roots, and the second, the encounter of new dance and traditional music. We are grateful to each of the artists for their willingness to join us; some people travelled for several hours to be there. I'm sure every participant came away with a different sense of the experience. I can guess a few of them, the ones I also felt most strongly.
- There was an eagerness to share music, artist-to-artist. For some, it is hoped, new connections were established toward future collaboration.
- The juxtaposition of choreographers and culturally-rooted musicians presented a fertile area that was an intriguing artistic challenge. I believe this particular plane of encounter will be a key to our work in this region, opening up creative routes that are, as yet, unexplored.
- It was a tease: We had to stop just at the point when we could have gotten into the real essence of the experience (we hope to continue in December).
As we plan our next steps in this region, we are considering several key questions:
How can we facilitate the exploration of the continuum between artistic appropriation and inspiration (or: How does one create original work drawn from communal traditional practice)? What is the best platform for participating artists—A two-day residency, collaborative sessions between pairs of artists, etc?
What would we like to see as a result of this work, in two years? A concert, a festival?

The Digital Workplace and a Toolkit – I Really Don't See the Connection
We have many clients with large document sets in excess of 30 million. Checking to see if the auto-classification was spot-on for each and every document could be a doomed exercise. If done manually, it would probably eliminate the global unemployment problem. Even the best auto-classification engine can make a mistake once in a while, albeit a consistent one. Staff overriding auto-classifications and revisions of the same document also add to the problem. You know how it goes, your team ends up with 17 revisions of the same presentation, confusion can result, and you may not be completely sure the presentation you end up using is the most up-to-date one. But, by that time, you are all pretty sick of looking at it and find it difficult to care. Reporting can be a similar story, with several taxonomy and term reporting options available. Well, we have brought all that expertise into one toolkit, so inconsistency can be a thing of the past.
Until now, the deployment of this type of functionality was the subject of a custom services engagement. The wait is over – we have pulled together components that have been deployed for up to 10 years at specific client locations, and have combined them in such a way to be readily customizable and easily deployed. The Content Optimization, Validation, and Reporting Toolkit is now available as a complete tools and services package. Deploy the full package, or pick the specific functionality that will help you manage and maintain your taxonomies. It's up to you.
Why are these tools so important? Content overload, to use a trite expression. For most of our clients, auto-classification is extremely accurate and taxonomy tools are easy-to-use. Up until recently, there may have been no need for additional information, to dig deeper to find possible classification problems for a small number of documents. That is changing, as some of our clients' content repositories grow exponentially larger. Other clients are using the toolkit for regulatory and compliance reasons, to improve eDiscovery, or open the door to text mining and analytics. And, of course, for improving the application of search.
What does the use of our toolkit achieve on a daily basis? If you have adopted the digital workplace approach, or even if you haven't but want to deliver the most accurate and trustworthy information to your staff consistently, and who doesn't, then you may well benefit from looking at the toolkit. It's no longer not just about enterprise search – your quantifiable ROI derives from the push or pull of what we call intelligent content in context. Our definition is, "Intelligent content in context does not depend on source or environment. It is intelligent information delivered at the time it is needed, in the right context to the right person, to improve decision making, perform an action, facilitate a process step, or communicate with an application. Content becomes visible, understandable, and actionable." Even if you think you are confident that your content meets all the necessary criteria, you may do well to check.
We have an overview and demo webcast that you can watch at your leisure, if you want more information about or toolkit. If you would like to read our white paper on the role of intelligent content in context in the digital workplace, hot off the press, you can access it here.

ANAHEIM – Yellow, orange and red lights glowed through the new stained-glass window, a replica of Bernini's 17th-century "Holy Spirit," giving new life to St. Justin Martyr Catholic Church.
More than 860 people celebrated at the dedication ceremony Thursday, more than a year after arsonists set fire to the rear of the building.
"We've endured this long period of displacement, but now out of the wreckage, the ashes, has risen a beautiful church building," Bishop Tod Brown Bishop of Orange, said to the congregation.
The July 25, 2005, fire started at the back of the church, and smoke damaged half of the ceiling, most of the interior and parts of the altar, including its cross.
The fire also damaged the organ and other choir equipment.
The renovation process began in February and ended just days before the ceremony.
Insurance covered about half of the cost of the $1.8 million in repairs. Parishioners donated the rest.
The peaceful sound of the church's choir, along with a harpist, greeted parishioners as they settled into restored pews.
Monsignor Hugh O'Connor, the church's founding pastor, was among the presenters at a rite of dedication – a first for the sanctuary, originally built as a parish hall.
The rite featured six major steps, including sprinkling of holy water, handing over keys, anointing, incensation, and covering and lighting of the altar.
The ceremony also included the relic of St. Justin, embedded in a flat altar stone, being placed in the reliquary and sealed.
A year after the fire, the congregation was excited to be back in its "sacred space," said the Rev. Joseph Nettekoven, the church's pastor.
For the past year, parishioners celebrated Mass in a tent in the church parking lot.
"It feels like home," Irene Kramer, a parishioner for 33 years, said about the new church.
She said the old tent where services had been held was especially hard in the rain or winter, because it might leak and people often had to often wear gloves.
"It was miserable out there," she said.
But the discomforts did not break the close-knit congregation.
"Despite the difficulties … cold nights, hot days – we persevered. We didn't miss anything. We kept going. We didn't stop being a parish community," she said.
If anything, the parish grew closer, according to Nettekoven.
"We suffered together and grew together," he said.
The church is also now up to earthquake and handicap codes and has installed cameras and alarms as part of the renovation work.
For most attending the Mass, the dedication was a first of its kind.
"This doesn't happen very often," said Susan Beigbeder, a parishioner for 34 years. "This will be remembered as a very special event."

Berry Tart
"Buttery crust, rich creamy filling, and juicy ripe berries—this is what you want in a berry tart, right? Look no further. This is the tart. As my father says, 'don't change a thing.' It's actually much easier to make than it looks!"
I just can't seem to get enough of recipes featuring berries (and it seems like that's the same for a lot of you readers), and this berry tart is no exception. Sweet, juicy, glistening berries perched atop a creamy filling enveloped inside of a buttery pastry crust is my current idea of summery dessert heaven. YUM.

Obesity largest factor behind early puberty in girls
Washington – A new study hasdR‹,üTP‹,TP‹,wn that obesity is the largest predictor of earlier onset of puberty in girls, which is affecting white girls much sooner than previously reported.
The multi-institutional study strengthens a growing body of research documenting the earlier onset of puberty in girls of all races.
"The impact of earlier maturation in girls has TP‹,üDN‹,DN‹,rtant clinical implications involving psychosocial and biologic outcomes," Frank Biro, MD, lead investigator and a physician in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, said.
"The current study suggests clinicians may need to redefine the ages for both early and late maturation in girls," he said.
Girls with earlier maturation are at risk for a multitude of challenges, including lower self-esteem, higher rates of depression, norm-breaking behaviors and lower academic achievement.
Early maturation also results in greater risks of obesity, hypertension and several cancers – including breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer.
The research is published online in the journal Pediatrics.

My initial secondary education was undertaken at the Footscray Technical School for Boys. For the three final years at the school I was a member of the school's soccer team. During that time one of our opponents was the Williamstown Technical School for Boys. It was normal for the FTSB to beat the WTSB by a considerable margin.
That was not the case in the very last match I played against our old rivals before ending my years at Footscray aged 15. The Williamstown boys beat us 1-0! As the captain of the Footscray team, it was my task to give the team results and reports to the school assembly on a Monday morning.
On the Monday following our defeat at the hands of Williamstown, I started my report on the match by saying: "With the help of the referee, Footscray were beaten 1-0 by Williamstown". There were some murmurings from the assembled students and staff. But, it was when I announced the best Footscray players from the match that the assembly really erupted. In the list I included…..yes, yours truly, Stewart Culbard!
Needless to say, that was the last assembly report I gave for some time. It did not matter that the Footscray boys unanimously agreed with my view about the perceived bias of the referee – and wanted me to report the same. Neither did it matter that the best players for either side were selected, rather ironically, by that same referee!
More than coincidentally, I also announced that one of the best players for the Williamstown team in that match was a wingman whose first name was Andy. In later years Andy was to become a close and valued mate. He still is.
I was unaware if Andy was ever told about that incident. But it came to my mind again a year or two back. At that time, Andy had made a comment on one of the articles I had written in my personal blog. He finished with the words: "Good on you, Stewart, it makes one vulnerable to write a blog."
Way back in 1959, when Andy and I were playing football for our respective schools, "vulnerability" was a little-known concept – at least amongst 15 year-old boys! However, now that we have both celebrated our 70th birthdays, we are aware of what being vulnerable can mean. I certainly learned a worthwhile lesson in vulnerability (and perhaps humility) as a schoolboy at Footscray Technical School for Boys (now the Victorian State University at Footscray).
At times vulnerability is a result of being somewhat innocent – and maybe too honest. At other times it is a consequence of being foolish – and maybe somewhat vain. Youth can be all of these things. However, I will continue to appreciate Andy for many things – especially his more recent comment that vulnerability can be, by implication and in fact, a sign of strength and maturity.
But the story does not end there. Andy celebrated his 70th birthday in 2014. At the request of his family I wrote a piece to be included in some greetings for his birthday celebrations. Following that event, the response from Andy was salutary:
"Do you remember it was me who scored the goal (for Williamstown) that day? I crossed the ball from the right wing and I think your goalie misjudged the flight of the ball in the air and it dropped behind him into the net. I mention it because the next day I was late for school and was lining up for my allocation of yard-duty from Mr. Reeves, one of our sheet-metal teachers, and he asked me if I played on the wing against Footscray, to which I said yes and he said 'Off you go, no yard duty!'"
I had forgotten (sub-consciously, of course) who it was had scored "that" goal for Williamstown on that memorable day. So I duly informed Andy that I did appreciate the addition to my tale and the very gracious manner of his recollection. It did not escape my recollection, however, that the outcomes of the incident recalled were that I was carpeted at my school, with Andy being given the "red carpet" treatment at his. "To the victor goeth the spoils". Life can be so unfair!
Life also contains lessons that need to be learned, remembered and applied. One of these lessons is about the value of friendships – especially those that, irrespective of circumstances and personal outcomes, endure.
A recent conversation with a respected member of my extended family expressed the viewpoint that, throughout life, relatively few genuine and lasting friendships are made. Such friendships are to be highly prized. As one year ends and another begins, this is a lesson of life about which it is appropriate to be reminded.
May I take this opportunity to express the wish that 2015 will be a happy, prosperous and friendly year for all readers of this blog.

A closer look at the painted wolf
My last memory of African wild dogs was on my 13th birthday. Midway through sundowners and chocolate cake while on safari in Madikwe Game Reserve, a stampede of wildebeest and impala crashed the party, with wild dogs hot on their tails. Abandoning the cake we followed suit!
Fast-forward over a decade and the adrenalin rush was still the same when, out on a morning game drive with Rhino River Lodge, we found the Zululand Rhino Reserve's six wild dogs shortly after 3.30am – playing like puppies, their large ears pricked up and bushy tails wagging.
We were on the reserve's perimeter and the dogs were busy demolishing an impala carcass. After losing them for a short while, we found them again at the dam with another impala kill. And just after we were told how rare it was to see two wild dog kills in a row, the dogs were in formation and hunting again – this time a nyala was the chosen target. I quickly gathered that nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the wild dog. Survival is the only rule of the game.
I was lucky enough to be on a game drive with Sam Vorster from WildlifeACT, which monitors and researches the dogs every day as part of an ongoing project that is run by David Marneweck from the Wild Dog Advisory Group (WAG). WAG is currently intensively managing a metapopulation of 259 dogs, which are divided into 23 packs across 10 reserves in South Africa. The organisation also monitors the genetics of these wild dogs, and helps to bond and relocate breakaway groups into new reserves.
The particular wild dogs that we saw were originally from Madikwe Game Reserve and Zimanga Private Game Reserve, and they were released into Zululand Rhino Reserve in May 2015.
Back at Rhino River Lodge I chatted about the experience with Chris Kelly from WildlifeACT and the KwaZulu-Natal Wild Dog Advisory Group (KZNWAG). He shared his own stories of the wild dogs, as well as the trials and successes of their project, which led me to better understand the complex nature of these animals, and how saving them is not a simple task.
Nature's masterpiece
The African wild dog is one of the most successful predators in the world – second only to ourselves. However, humans could still learn a thing or two from wild dogs.
Selflessness, teamwork, compassion, loyalty and intelligence are all endearing anthropomorphic qualities that could be assigned to the African wild dog. And it is these qualities that make them so successful as a species. From hunting, group dynamics, mating and pup rearing, wild dogs "scientifically make perfect sense," according to David Marneweck.
There are stories of dogs that have surivived on three, even two limbs, for several years thanks to the loyalty and generosity of pack dynamics. A dog that was monitored by the National Wild Dog Metapopulation Project, the KwaZulu-Natal Wild Dog Advisory Group (KZNWAG) and WildlifeACT even broke its jaw and lived for years on food that was regurgitated by his pack mates.
Packs can be as small as two animals but, to be evolutionarily stable, there should be a minimum of six dogs and no more than 30 in a pack. In a healthy pack, there will tend to be two alpha dogs – one male and one female – followed by the rest of the pack of gamma dogs. Pack ranking is determined by submission rather than aggression, and the whole pack is dedicated to protecting the pups, as well as to hunting. Wild dogs have high energy levels and play almost continuously – even straight after eating – as a way of bonding.
"Seen isolated from his pack, a single African wild dog is not very impressive. Seen in a fast moving, well-coordinated group chasing a prey… (it) is one of the most touching experiences you can have on this planet." – Thierry Aebischer, Chinko Project/African Parks
Born hunters
Like the hunter-gathers that dipped their arrows in the poisonous latex of the euphorbia tree found on Zululand Rhino Reserve, the wild dog is also a pursuit predator. This means that they will chase their prey to the point of exhaustion by holding a steady pace, as opposed to the cheetah's use of short bursts of speed. Ever resourceful, they will also often chase prey into fences.
They kill by disemboweling their victims, which is why they get their reputation for being cruel killers. However, when executed properly, this process is significantly faster than the suffocation tactic of leopards and lions.
Lower ranking dogs tend to initiate the hunts and run the risk of injury, while the breeding pair is kept out of harm's way. This protocol also means that the underdogs have the chance to guzzle down a couple of mouthfuls before the top dogs and the puppies arrive. Unlike lions, the little ones take priority at the kill.
Bred for succcess
It's a permanent puppy-love affair between the alpha dogs. They sleep next to each other, at times even piddling on each other, and they keep the pack bonded. Socially they're monogamous, but reproductively they're promiscuous for the sake of future generations.
The alpha female mates predominately with her beloved alpha male, but a succession of other males also step up to the plate. This not only helps the gene pool, but it also means that the other males in the pack are invested in raising puppies, as there is always the chance that one of the newborns is their own.
A dog can give birth to between 10 and 17 puppies, and their survival rate is proportional to the amount of adults in the pack, which will bring regurgitated food for the nursing mother and the pups.
Lower ranking females have also been known to give birth, although their pups have a lower survival rate.
There is a great story about a gamma female in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park that split from her pack, along with three 11-month-old dogs, and subsequently gave birth to eight puppies. She was killed by a lion at the den, which is a common threat to nursing mothers, and the newly formed young pack then went missing. However, the remaining members resurfaced years later with all eight of the former puppies still alive. The juvenile dogs had successfully raised the eight puppies and survived despite the odds.
Populations in Africa
The African wild dog used to occur across the continent, but today this candid canine is extinct in west and north Africa. The conservation status of the dogs cannot be determined in several countries due to civil unrest, and, like most predators, they are difficult to count across large areas. However, the good news is that there are certain strongholds that are being monitored in various countries, such as Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The Selous-Niassa wildlife corridor in Mozambique also plays a pivotal role as the second largest wild dog population in the world today, and the species has somewhat thrived in South Africa due to the protection that a few private and small reserves provide.
Meanwhile Tanzania is home to 20% of the global population of African wild dogs, and an important discovery has also been the 40 to 100 wild dogs that have been located in the Chinko Nature Reserve in the Central African Republic.
The plight of the painted wolf
"You will not find a more social, fascinating and stunning species, nor one more emblematic of the plight of Africa's large carnivores and large, wild landscapes." – Matthew S. Becker, Zambia Carnivore Programme.
The African wild dog is running out of space and into trouble with neighbouring farmers. Their main problem is that there are now just too few conservation areas that are big enough to contain them, and their habitat has been severely fragmented.
When it comes to wild dogs, good fences make good neighbours. Wild dogs are safe under the protection of reserves but, as they run up to 25 kilometres a day, these boundary pushers tend to bump into fences more than any other predator, which creates more opportunities for them to escape if the fences are not up to scratch.
Escaped dogs are heavily persecuted by farmers. They were previously even known as the 'Devil's Dog' by farmers because they can wreak havoc on livestock.
Even if they remain within the safety of the fences, they still run into trouble in the form of snares, which are one of the biggest issues for wild dogs across Africa. Impoverished communities on the periphery of reserves use snares to catch bushmeat to feed their families. However, snares are non-selective and have catastrophic effects on wild dogs, which the locals don't necessarily intend to eat. The wild dogs' 'all for one and one for all' attitude means that the rest of the pack returns to its ensnared member only to get entangled in the web of snares themselves. There have sadly been cases where entire packs have been killed by snares.
Poachers have also been known to use domestic dogs to hunt illegally in reserves. These often carry rabies and canine distemper, which threaten wild dog populations. Mongooses are also natural carriers of rabies.
Wild dogs ideally require large territories of at least 22,000ha, as well as a sufficient amount of prey species to satisfy their requirements. Even in sufficiently-sized reserves, wild dogs are often not wanted because of their hunting prowess and the resultant impact on high value game species such as tsetsebe and nyala.
The name 'wild dog' is hardly complimentary for such an interesting animal and there has been a movement to 're-brand' the species using its Latin name – Lycaon pictus – translating to 'painted wolf'. This name not only describes the dog's 'artistic' coat, but it is said to naturally peak interest in the canine.
Fortunately for the African wild dog, its body parts are not required for traditional medicine anywhere in the world. However, wild stock is still captured to replenish zoo populations across the globe, and these athletic dogs have been found in appalling captive conditions, as illustrated in the documentary, Zoo Business.
As is so often the case, humans are part of the solution as well as the problem. And the African wild dog is now dependent on rural communities for its survival.
Job creation and education is a long-term solution
Unfortunately, while poverty still exists on the periphery of national parks, snares will remain an issue because people need to eat. Turning poachers into protectors through job creation and education is, therefore, a long-term solution to this problem. Initiating vaccination campaigns for domestic dogs in these rural areas is also of utmost importance.
The formation of wildlife corridors and the dropping of fences between protected areas is vital for the dogs to be able to migrate properly and form new packs without the risk of inbreeding or requiring intensive management. Also, good fences and proper management on boundaries with community areas are key to successful conservation.
There are multiple organisations throughout Africa, such as the Painted Dog Research Trust and the Endangered Wildlife Trust, that are working tirelessly to protect these inspiring animals. You can donate, adopt, volunteer or even sponsor research equipment through most of these organisations.
It is arguably also a case of supply and demand. If you ask to see an African wild dog on your next safari, you will not be disappointed. You'll also be playing a vital role in encouraging reserves to see them as a valuable asset, rather than a costly nuisance.
Where to see the African wild dog
At Rhino River Lodge you can expect a luxury experience on a 23,000 hectare Big Five game reserve. Situated in the heart of South Africa's Zululand, a maximum of 18 guests can stay along the shore of the Msunduze River in the southern section of the Zululand Rhino Reserve. The area is not only renowned for its African wildlife and rich cultural heritage, but it is also home to a small pack of wild dogs that, if found, will have you on the edge of your seat!
Immerse yourself in the African wilderness and explore the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, where there is the chance to see one of the 297 wild dogs that roam the Greater Kruger National Park. A stay at either the East African-inspired tented safari camp or the exclusive field camp at Tanda Tula will offer the chance to honour nature on foot or track wildlife on a game drive, before returning to soak up the down-to-earth atmosphere of either camp.
According to the Zambia Carnivore Programme, there are indications that eastern Zambia may have one of the more significant remaining wild dog populations on the continent, and the predator-rich Luangwa Valley is a great place to try your luck at spotting one. Robin Pope Safaris specialises in mobile wilderness walking safaris in South Luangwa National Park, which allow you to spend your days exploring the South Luangwa on foot while keeping your eyes peeled for man's wild best friend.
It is also estimated that up to 350 wild dogs live in southern Botswana, and the best place to set eyes on some of these canines is in Moremi Game Reserve. Contact Africa Geographic Travel if this is on your bucket list and we will create a bespoke safari to make your wildest wild dog dreams come true.

A FOOTBALL hooligan mob have been jailed after clashing with rival fans and police officers, with a judge saying their actions we a "throwback" to the dark days of the 1980s.
Thugs supporting Portsmouth Football Club ambushed Plymouth Argyle fans ahead of a League One clash between the two sides last year.
They mob then clashed with police officers before charging around 80 Plymouth supporters as they left a train station in Portsmouth, Hants.
During the exchange they hurled coins, bottles and lighters at them.
A court heard one terrified Plymouth fan was repeatedly booted in the head while on the floor, while a police officer was also assaulted as he tried to arrest someone.
The violence was so bad, experienced police superintendent Kelly Whiting revealed she had been "frightened" watching it unfold.
Jailing eight of the 16 thugs involved in the rampage, Judge Timothy Mousley QC said the gang turned up at the train station at 8.30am on match day with a "clear intent to fight".
The judge added the "prolonged and premeditated" violence had been a "throwback" to the height of football hooliganism in 1970s and 1980s.
Portsmouth Crown Court heard more than 100 extra police officers had to be drafted in at the last minute in a bid to stop the rampage happening.
It was revealed the extra policing cost the taxpayer £43,000 and Pompey £13,000.
Prosecutor Simon Jones told the court there were a number of clashes on April 14 last year before kick off in the "dockyard derby", which ended in a 1-1 draw.
He said: "There were surges of Portsmouth fans trying to get to Plymouth fans. Police were trying to keep fans apart to prevent violence."
Shocking footage played in court showed police charging into a group of fighting supporters with batons, as one man in a green hoodie was kicked as he lay on the floor.
Other video footage showed officers trying to hold back a large group of raging fans who are attempted to bait opposition supporters.
The court heard Robbie Fowler, 22, who was serving a four-year ban from attending matches at the time, was the "most prominent" of the thugs, with him even kicking out at a police dog and trying to get an officer to fight him.
Mr Jones told the court a second thug, 33-year-old Matthew Allinson, was threw "missiles" in the direction of away fans, while 20-year-old Ryan Keating had kicked a Plymouth fan who had been knocked to the ground.
It was heard others involved in the rampage included Richard Hampshire, 26, Anthony Hopkins, 22, Tommy Russell, 20, Harry Jarvie, 21, Jack Stobart, Asa Palmer, both 23, Simon Hore, 33, and 26-year-old Shane Bartram.
Also in the dock were Sean Mitchell, 46, and 19-year-olds Ryan Keating, Harley Hawkins, Louis Glasspool, Connor Bowen and Tommy Houlden.
Fowler, Houlden, Stobart and Bartram were all convicted of violent disorder, while the remaining 12 admitted one count each of the same charge.
Judge Mousley jailed Fowler for two years, Allinson for 18 months, Hampshire and Mitchell for 14 months and Keating for 13 months.
Hopkins, Russell and Hawkins were each handed 12 month jail terms. All eight were banned from attending games for six years.
The judge said: "This did not arise out of a sporting rivalry but from a clear intent to fight in public on a large scale.
"Had it not been for the police there would have been a flashpoint involving about 200 men which I have no doubt was the intention on both sides.
"There were no serious injuries but clearly there was the potential for them but for the well organised and professional response of the police.
"It is a matter of luck there were no serious injuries especially to the man on the floor getting kicked."
The judge handed Hore a 13-month jail term, Jarvie, Bartram and Stobart 12 months in custody and Palmer nine months, all suspended for 18 months.
Glasspool was sentenced to 10 months in a young offenders institute and Bowen eight months, while Houlden received 15 months behind bars, all suspended for 18 months.
Senior CPS prosecutor Gavin Sumpter said after the sentencing: "Violence and disorder in football will not be tolerated and we hope this case will be a deterrent to other like minded individuals."
Hampshire police superintendent Kelly Whiting said: "These are people who have been causing problems at Portsmouth Football Club for years and since we've taken them out there has been far less disorder.
"There were families and children walking around Guildhall Square where most of this trouble happened.
"I was frightened to watch it all – and I was only sat in the control room."

An Illustrated Bowl of Goodness
I sincerely love the end of Winter. Because SPRING! Because WARM WEATHER! Because NO MORE EXPENSIVE GAS BILLS!
And as much as I love comfort food, I love salads more. Laugh if you must, but there are more base grains, toppings and colours than you can shake a balsamic vinegar bottle at.
So in the name of Spring and all that is fresh (and rainbow), here's a Superfood Bowl that's a favourite of mine. The only thing missing is hummus (which just isn't the most attractive thing to draw).
I would also be SO GRATEFUL if you could show my Youtube channel some love and subscribe here! That's it! Just a click!
It'll give me the motivation to continue making videos that I believe currently only my dog and I watch...

Pricing Your Home to Sell, Part 1
Consider the two numbers (your price versus the market price) like two stars in a constellation. They may appear to be close enough to depict a shape, but, in reality are light years away. Fail to recognize reality and your chance of a sale may be as realistic as wishing on a star.
In this two-part series we'll look at common pricing mistakes. Evaluate your asking price closely and see if any of these ring true:
Price You Paid Doesn't Matter
A common mistake is to assume that you always will be able to price and sell your home at a number higher than what you paid. Sadly, not true. This isn't even true if you just bought the home last month. Why? The real estate market is constantly adjusting. Numerous factors influence a property's perceived value, including but not limited to inventory, the local economy and consumer confidence.
How Much You Spent on Upgrades Doesn't Matter
Gone are the days of a "dollar in, a dollar or more out" when it comes to upgrades. In fact, in many cases the cost of upgrades may not equal instant equity when you sell. The cost of your upgrades may only serve one purpose: as an "entrance fee" to compete with other houses with similar upgrades.
This can be sobering for anyone who has spent thousands of dollars and expected to see that money reflected in the final sales price. Kitchens are a great example. A "new" kitchen is one that's been remodeled in the last six months. A "new" kitchen completed a year or more ago is actually considered an "updated" kitchen. That's a big difference in perception and in ultimate value.
The more "realistic" homeowners may point to practical improvements as a justification for a certain asking price. Sorry, folks. A new roof may have cost you a lot of money, but on the other hand, do you think you could sell with an old, leaky roof? Some repairs are simply necessary and therefore have little bearing on price except for the "peace of mind" it may instill in a potential buyer.
The one exception to this rule? So-called "green repairs." Repairs and upgrades that will conserve resources (water, gas, electricity, etc.) can differentiate your home in the market. If you've made these upgrades or repairs be sure to highlight them -- they could be worth gold.
Coming in Part 2: More pricing mistakes sellers commonly make and how these can be very detrimental in this market.
