Hung out with Screaming Females last night for their big show at House of Blues with the Dead Weather. It was totally crazy to see them play in such a big place- capacity is supposedly 2400. Anyway, it was sweet, and they get free beer, so now I'm stocked up. The girl in Discount sings for the Dead Weather, and she's a total fucking rock star/diva (not in a good way). That was whack. I wish I could see the Screamales/Shell Shag West Coast tour. Over in Cambridge though getting psyched for Punch/Ampere/Trifle Tower/Dark Forces/L'Antietam on Thursday night and then most likely Harvey Milk on Saturday night. In the future, I will almost for sure be headed down to Richmond for Best Friends Day.
Back to the task at hand... As promised another PVI release. I started to write this at various points over the past month or so, so it's probably kind of all over the place.
Shitty picture of the album art... had another one but my camera broke/didn't back up my old hard drive recently at all. If you want to buy me a new one, get in touch. That would be cool.
Pens play sorta noisy pop... maybe if Skinned Teen (ok maybe I'm just saying this cause they're both English) were really hip 15 years later, slowed down a little bit, and became fuzzier and unintelligible. They might be the hippest of the bunch... doing a big West Coast tour with Graffiti Island and Crocodiles, capping it off with a San Diego show with Wavves & No Age. They're playing at Spaceland in LA, which Matt & I used to think was so cool in high school. It was 21+, and we would always say we were gonna go there for our 21st birthdays. Instead some of us have sisters & friends who hire cross-dressing singing telegrams to sing Beyonce and "Happy Birthday." Anyway, Pens definitely give my favorite side of the split.
They play sorta noisy pop... maybe if Skinned Teen (ok maybe I'm just saying this cause they're both English) were really hip 15 years later, slowed down a little bit, and became fuzzier and unintelligible. Basically I've been listening to a fair amount of old Slampt stuff, and I feel like this is about the closest thing to a lot of that stuff that's around today.
Male Bonding are more like Abe Vigoda or something. Not my thing as much, but still a good time.
I pretty much haven't listened to anything else other than the PS Eliot LP this week. Sorry for the mediocre write-up. I guess you're used to it by now though.

10 Funny Halloween 2018 Pranks To Play On Your Coworkers This Year That Won't Get You In Trouble
One of the best things about Halloween is that you can scare your friends and family members and it's not only kind of expected, but also totally appropriate. In fact, it's basically even encouraged to scare people on purpose during this holiday, which means that this is the ideal time to freak out basically everyone, and not get in trouble for it (hopefully). Why not take advantage of his holiday to play a prank at work? It's a fun way to break up the day and bring a little excitement to the office, and it's also a distraction from work (just a perk!). If you need some ideas, below are some funny Halloween pranks you can play on coworkers to get them back for chewing a little too loudly whenever they eat lunch at their desks.
Before you play these pranks, though, consider if your workplace is going to be cool with it. After all, you don't want to get fired — or get a bad reputation — for something as silly as a Halloween prank. If your manager and your coworkers are generally pretty lax and get really into celebrating holidays, something harmless and funny is probably going to be fine. But if you work in a really strict environment where stuff like this isn't encouraged, then I can't recommend playing one of these pranks. Your job is probably pretty important to your lifestyle!
Any of the below pranks are going to freak out your coworkers, but then make them laugh — and you'll be seen as something of a Halloween expert. Check 'em out and pick the one that really speaks to you:
1. Hand In The Fridge
Head out to any Halloween novelty store — or any store that sells Halloween decor — and you'll probably find an inexpensive fake, bloody hand. Wrap the fingers around something in the office fridge — like a jug of milk or something — and try to kind of hide the hand so that people don't realize it's there until they reach for the item. It's harmless, easy, and will make them jump.
2. Head On A Jar
Another thing you can stuff in the fridge to freak people out is putting your head in a jar. Let us explain: print out a photo of your face (ideally making a scared expression), then glue it to the jar, then fill a mason jar with green tinted water. Put it in the fridge or in an office supplies cabinet — somewhere that people are bound to run into it. This idea came from Reddit, of course.
3. Scarecrow Fakeout
This prank is pretty elaborate, and will only work if you have an hour or more to dedicate to it. But here goes: you can dress up like a scarecrow (and make the costume super legit), then sit in the lobby of your office (or somewhere else where a lot of people will be going in and out). For part of the time, sit still and act like an actual scarecrow. And then, every once in a while, move or jump up to freak out everyone around you. It's a Halloween classic!
4. Hanging Hair
This is a perfectly innocent prank that is simple, will scare people, and likely won't get you into any trouble. If your office has movable ceiling tiles, you can take a long hair extension or wig, then tuck it inside the tile so it hangs down. It's gross and creepy.
5. Pop-Up Snake
If you want to get crafty, get a rubber snake and some string to rig up a pop-up snake. Hide it somewhere people will see it, like in a supplies closet or the fridge.
6. Chocolate Veggies
If you want to really disappoint your coworkers, try this classic: make Halloween candy treats, except instead of chocolate truffles or something like that, you can take veggies and cover them in chocolate — but pretend they're real candy, of course. This works well with Brussels sprouts, which can then look like chocolate truffles. (Make sure you have actual chocolate on hand for later, of course.)
7. Clown Window
Get in to the office early, and tape spooky photos of clown faces in the windows near desks. Or you can just tape them in secret spots throughout the office, like in the fridge behind something, or inside drawers. Who actually likes clowns?
8. Candy Bowl Scare
Another candy idea: get a candy bowl with an animated hand and fill it with candy, then leave it in a popular spot. For hours, people will be reaching in to get candy, then get a serious scare when something reaches back for their hand.
9. Terrifying Ceiling
Another way to freak people out with movable tiles in a ceiling: get a Halloween mask and move the tiles slightly, hiding the mask in there so that you can only get a small glimpse of it. Then wait for the terror to begin.
10. Fake Cockroaches
Be careful with this one, because it just might cause widespread panic. You can get some fake cockroaches and tape them to the wall all over the bathroom so that it looks like an infestation.

The margin of defeat surpasses the 58-point loss the Huskies suffered to No. 1 Connecticut in December and is the new school record in a loss. No Washington player scored in double figures, lead-scoring Laura McLellan finishing 2 of 11 from the field against Stanford's frontcourt. Both Mackenzie Aregens (knee) and Liz Lay (knee) played, but were ineffective inside, too. Washington is 0-3 against ranked opponents this season, preparing for No. 13 California on Sunday. We'll have more in Friday's paper. Comments

This post is published a little bit later than expected but life is unpredictable and sometimes you just need to adjust. For the last week or so, I have been fighting sever cold and chest infection and although I am on right track to recover, I gave myself some time to rest and relax and just normally be ill…
December have been such a busy month for me both work and blog wise. I have been recording more videos than ever before (my YouTube channel is available here if you want to check it out). However, what gave me the most satisfaction was my What I wore Sunday… 2017 post combining all the looks I have shown you last year.
I have not initially registered how many different styles, colours and variations I have shown you… I have definitely grown, failed and learnt my lessons in 2017 and for that I am most grateful for.
December being a very festive month, it was also a month of spending… Buying gifts and making surprises is something that I love and believe it or not gives me even more pleasure that buying for myself.
My most-loved purchase of December would have to be this coffee machine, that was my Christmas present to my husband. We have been using it non-stop for the last fortnight and I can confirm it is worth every penny spent on it !
In regards to blog the most popular posts were outfit related and they are available here and here if you want to check them out. The post that you viewed the least was a train journey from Sri Lanka, also available on my channel. I personally really liked it and I hope you will have a chance to view it as well (available here).
January is going to be a fresh start for me and I have already made some plans for the future posts. You can definitely expect more What I wore Sunday outfits as well as a little bit of traveling. If you interested in where I will be going, make sure you follow my Instagram as I try to publish regular updates.
If there is anything, you would like to see from me- post, outfit idea, handbag comparison etc. let me know as I am very opened to your suggestions.
Thank you very much for your visit and I hope to see you soon !!

The peak in the background is Mt. Hood. The location of the Hawkwatch blind is approximately several hundred feet beyond the big tree in the upper right hand corner. Outside of the blind is a stunt pigeon dressed in a little leather vest. It is the pigeon's job to act as bait for the eagles and hawks that happen to pass by on their way to warmer climates. In much the same way that a herring can be tied to fishing-line to attract bigger fish, the pigeon is also tied to a line. Whenever the pigeon attempts to fly away, a Hawkwatch specialist inevitably yanks on the line and causes the pigeon to crash awkwardly, making it appear to be embarrassingly clumsy. This evidently is too tempting of a target for hungry raptors to pass up. The leather vest isn't just stylish. It preserves the pigeon's life when the birds of prey strike.
The day I arrived at the blind, the Hawkwatch people had just finished capturing and banding a goshawk and were ready to release it.
You can see how humiliated and angry this goshawk is about falling for the old decoy pigeon trick. It couldn't stop screaming.
Just as the Goshawk was being released, a golden eagle stumbled into the same trap. The Hawkwatch team spent considerable time measuring various aspects of this large bird and eventually decided it was a candidate for carrying one of their radio transmitters. They fastened the transmitter on with a little leather harness that I'm sure the other eagles will laugh at.
Most of the Hawkwatch personnel seemed to be either volunteers or interns. They were learning how to do most of the things they did from the old guy in the tent in the putting-the-radio-transmitter-on picture above. This crew seemed to be awestruck by the birds and appeared to me to be in a quasi-religious state of ecstasy (Yes I'm slightly exaggerating, but I hope in a good way) as if they were becoming one with the animal totem.
It was clear to me that you should have skills if you want to hold a golden eagle.
After I got a chance to look into the eyes of a golden eagle, I was kind of wishing that it was MY animal totem.
This is the picture that made me decide I'd have to get a SLR digital camera with easily accessible manual controls - because I couldn't control the shutter speed of my little Nikon and though I had kind of gotten used to the time lag between pressing the button and having the shutter open and close, it still wasn't exact enough and consequently, this isn't the picture I wanted.
The release of the eagle marked the end of the tagging operation for the day, and the Hawkwatch personnel began packing up and heading down to their campsite. I hung around at the top of the butte until dusk and watched a weather front come in from the West.
(If you are interested in seeing the satellite tracking data for golden eagle #21260c, I've provided a link to the Hawkwatch web pages in the list of links.)

it is Martin Luther King Day today, and also the Presidential inaugural — though Obama and Biden were both sworn in officially for their second term yesterday.
illin: flue
i haven't been feeling well enough to blog for a while. had this danged flu — which i always spell flue cause i like the way the letters look (plus it reminds me of the flues in our chimneys in all the houses we had growing up)….. had the flue for about 3 weeks total i think.
finally went to acupuncture, felt better immediately (and was kicking myself for not going sooner!). plus i got some Chinese herbs that you drink like a tea that is some kind of miracle tea. i drink 1 to 1-1/2 packets 3 times a day and voila!
Lynda.com cod liver progress
have been making painfully slow but steady progress on the UNIX for Mac OS X Users. i need to make sure i don't just whip through these UNIX basics but truly absorb and understand as much as possible. so i rewatch and play around on Terminal and try not to go mad. sitting and watching these tutorials is a little bit maddening for me. i think i am anxious to acquire knowledge, so much that i get bored and fidgety very easily.
i always tell people who i help with computer stuff, that the biggest barrier to learning stuff is being anxious and/or afraid. i am definitely both of those when it comes to the programming / technical side of computing. which is ironical because much about computers is easy and fun for me. but this is sort of like cod liver.
going to embrace the cod liver!!!

The Downtown Center Business Improvement District's (DCBID) Q4 2017 Downtown Market Report revealed that the DTLA Renaissance is growing ever stronger, with substantial gains scored across all sectors. Residential development led the way with a record-breaking 2,831 units coming to market in 2017 in 11 projects. With nearly 10,000 more units under construction, and almost 30,000 units proposed, more records are likely to fall in the coming years.
DCBID's Carol Schatz says, "Downtown Los Angeles continues to be among the most dynamic residential markets in the nation. Even with the record-setting opening of new projects, demand for DTLA housing continues to grow and occupancy rates continue to tighten."
Although residential was the most active sector, the defining event of 2017 was the opening of the Wilshire Grand Center, an aspirational project that set a new bar for scale and sophistication.
During 2017, DTLA added 1,400 hotel rooms from national brands and luxury boutiques alike, all the while increasing occupancy levels, room rates, and revenues.
Both the retail and office markets remained strong, with increased activity and absorption countering new deliveries.

Best Quotes About Moving On
He never "remembered" all the little things i did for him. It was always, in his eyes, how "horrible" i was to him. I was never good enough. Everything i did was to "betray" him.

Abortion: The choice by Macfarlane, Ursula
Every year, 46 million women worldwide choose to have a termination. Despite certain restrictions abortion is legal in the United Kingdom. Therefore women in the United Kingdom are legally able to decide how to cope with an unwanted pregnancy. Nevertheless, legal or illegal, it is a decision they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. This film intimately follows women who are actually faced with an unwanted pregnancy throughout the decision making process and the eventual abortion. Emotional, upsetting and divisive, abortion remains one of the most hotly debated issues of our time. For some its a liberator - an essential human right. For others, its murder.
Social Interest
Ever since the second feminist wave and the coherent reproductive rights, abortion has had its advocates and opponents worldwide. The advocates are the and the opponents the pro-life. According to this film, abortion still divides us. In the United Kingdom however, the 1967 abortion act has made it possible for women to get an abortion. Yearly, 200,000 women have an abortion.
Moral Relevance
The abortion advocates, the Pro choice party state that women have the right to decide whether or not they are having a baby. The pro-life party on the other hand, thinks that the life of the unborn baby is more important. Therefore, there is a clash between the right of the woman to decide for herself whether or not to have a baby and the right of the future child to live. These moral dilemmas have led to different abortion laws all over the world.

This should be a basic law of the Internet, if it isn't already.
It's what we do in RSS, or any XML-based format. If you encounter something you don't understand, don't worry, just ignore it. The person who put it there was depending on you doing that. You shouldn't call it an error. No need to freak out.
You don't have to understand everything. No one does! 🙂
This is one of those universal rules, much larger than just for techies. When we first introduced RSS, I wanted to link to the feed directly from my home page, with a little white on orange XML icon. The browser guys said "This won't do, people will see it and freak out." So they obscured it. Tried to make it look like a web page. It had the exact same content as the page you came from, but without the color and layout. It was even more confusing. Funny how that works.
When you make something look like something it isn't people get confused.
Imagine if you lifted the hood on your car, and instead of seeing an engine, a battery, a bunch of wires and tubes that you have no idea what they do (if you're like me) you saw another car interior. Seats, a steering wheel, a radio, etc. What would you think of that?
I like machinery that looks like machinery. I like the fact that I can lift the hood on my car and see what's in there. Maybe someday I'll be inspired to learn how it works. And then I'll know how to find it. In the meantime, because I don't understand it, I just ignore it.
- People, living their daily lives, have "ignore what you don't understand" experiences all day every day. It's how you keep your sanity in our complex multi-level reality.
I encounter that in the user community for "Fargo", which is a very diverse group of people, with widely varying interests and skills. Some are writers, and use the tools at a totally conceptual level, and others aren't writers at all, and like the software because it's like a Lego set, where you can put the pieces together in a lot of different ways. Because they all use the same tools, we get to have fun together. But sometimes the writers think they have to understand something technical. I try to say that they don't have to understand it — but someone has to understand it for the whole thing to work.
So the rule applies to our user community. There's never any harm in asking what something's about. Anyone can understand any of it, with enough time and work. But if you don't understand something, feel free to ignore it. 😉

How To Make Soup: Any Soup
I love soup because its quickly thrown together, can be made with anything lingering in your fridge and it always warms me up. I never follow a soup recipe, as its pretty easy to just throw together. I wanted to write a post with the basic process so hopefully after reading, you can go into your kitchens and make a quick soup with your fridge left overs!
While there are many different kinds of soup, the process can all be boiled (he he) down to a few simple steps. Once you know these steps, you can use any number of ingredients or added steps to create a variation on your theme.
When thinking on this, there really are only three absolutely necessary ingredients for soup which are a good soup stock, you primary ingredient and spices. Additional ingredients fall into the optional category.
Soup Main Ingredients:
- Primary Ingredient:Vegetables, Legumes and/or Meat
- Soup Stock
- seasoning
- Pasta
- Dairy
- Misc. Liquids (fruit juices, wine, etc)
The Primary Ingredient can be any vegetable, meat or legume, such as squash, chicken, or lentil. You can make the soup with just the primary ingredient and stock or add tons of other ingredients. I know this all sounds stupidlybasic and easy, BUT SOUP IS EASY!
Stock is a pre-made broth boiled with meat products and/or vegetables to create a nice concentrated base flavor. It can purchased from the store, but I suggest making your own, as its a great way to use up bones or discarded vegetable matter you might otherwise throw away, its easy to make and can be easily stored in the freezer for up to a year or two.
The seasoning can refer to anything from your spices (whole seed or powdered) to salt, pepper, or various other ingredients added to give flavor.
The Basic Steps:
1. Saute Onions
Chop/dice onions and saute in olive oil, margarine, butter, bacan grease or whatever fat you choose. I know it sounds weird to call it fat, but that is what it is, even if it's olive oil. Do this right in your soup pot so you don't dirty more dishes then you need to. I always start with onions. They'll start the soup off with a nice solid flavor and it makes your kitchen smell really good. You can saute them until they are clear for a nice clean flavor or continue sauting until they are browned and caramelized which will give a deeper flavor.
- Tip: Caramelized onions are good for giving a meaty like flavor to vegetarian soups
2. Add your spices
If you're using any spices, you can add them to the onions and give them a quick saute to punch up the flavor. Putting spices: whole or powdered into high heat can really bring out the flavor.
3. Add primary ingredient and broth.
Now you add your chopped vegetables and your broth. Bring it to a boil and then take it down to a low heat and allow it to simmer. The time you need to simmer will depend on what your ingredients are. Harder vegetables and legumes will need longer time to boil. Softer vegetables like broccoli may not need as long. You can also affect the time of cooking by the size you chop your ingredients.
- Tip: If you want to cut down the cooking time of your soup, cut your vegetables into small chunks, and they will cook must faster.
If Meat is your primary ingredient, I suggest using a boneless cut. As the meat cooks, it will fall apart leaving you with floating bones. (When making stock, you can easily strain them out, but not so when you have a chuncky soup).
- Tip: I would also suggest browning the meat in a seperate pan first, which will give added flavor to your soup.
4. Finish and season
Once your soup has been simmering enough for all your vegetables to bee cooked, we'll finish seasoning to give the soup flavor.
If you're making a cream soup, now is the time to add the dairy. This can include anything from milk, buttermilk, cream, cheese, or coconut for a vegan cream soup. Don't add cream to a hot boiling soup as you can sometimes end up with unattractive curdles (this can happen to coconut milk too).
Taste your soup, and season accordingly. This is the time where you can really put your own individual spin on your soup by adding final flavors to finish it off. DON'T be afraid if you're soup doesn't taste that good yet. Sometimes, if we didn't put enough spices in at first, it will taste a little bland. You can make up for it here.
Add more salt. Often soup tastes flat without enough salt. But the rule with salt is: always add a little at a time! Its easier to add more then take it out.
Don't be afraid to do something wild like add a sweetener like apricot jam or honey. Look into your fridge and use your imagination. Worst case scenario, you add something which doesn't work, at least you know for next time. But most of the time, if you add a little of something, it will give a nice complex flavor.
Citrus juice: Some soups call for lemon or lime juice. Don't add them until the end. If cooked for a long time, they can turn bitter and ruin your soup.
Tip: Here's a general quick fix guide to seasoning your boring soup into awesomeness
- Bland: more spices and/or salt
- Boring/flat: a sweetener can give a bit of complex flavor and balance the salt
- Too salty: add more liquid like stock, dairy or even a bit of water
- Too spicy: dairy like milk or cheese can help cut the spice
- Watery: if you're soup is too water, you'll need to add a punch of base flavor. I like to keep bullion cubes or bullion paste in my cabinet for quick fixes. They are cheap and last for a long time in the cupboard.
Okay, get out there and make some soup. I tried to cover everything, while not getting too mucked down in the details. If I left out any crucial details, let me know in the comments!

At the time of a normal exit from NPS, the subscribers may use the accumulated pension wealth under the scheme either to purchase a life annuity from a PFRDA empanelled life insurance company or withdraw a part of the accumulated pension wealth as lump-sum, if they choose to do so.
Eligibility to join this scheme is basically between 18 to 60 years of age including NRIs.
Individuals contributing to NPS would enjoy tax benefits on their contributions as under:
- Tax deduction up to 10% of Salary (Basic + DA) under Section 80 CCD(1) within the overall ceiling of 1.5 Lakh under Sec 80 CCE
- NPS also reduces your tax liability by an additional deduction of 50,000/- under section 80CCD (1B) p.a. (applicable from FY 2015-16 and onwards)
The additional tax benefit of 50000 is over and above the benefit of 1.5 Lakhs which can be claimed as a deduction under Section 80CCE. Therefore, the total tax benefits that can be claimed for NPS under Section 80CCD(1) + Section 80CCD(1B) equals to 2 Lakhs for this financial year.

Before LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman Founded An Overeager Dating Site
The idea for
His first try was a dating service in 1997 called SocialNet.
It was an ambitious idea. Not only would SocialNet find you a date, it was supposed to help with professional networking, finding roommates, it even included something called Just Play for finding tennis partners, Hoffman told Bloomberg Television's Emily Chang.He describes SocialNet as a learning experience that gave him "scars" and spilled a lot "of blood." In a previous interview with Business Insider, he said of SocialNet, "If you're not embarrassed by your version one release, you released it too late."
But that pain lead to LinkedIn.
"One of the things I learned from that whole experience, was that you should focus on one domain that really matters to people and just do that really well," he said to Chang.
Focus on something that really matters and do it well. Good advice.

But the strangest part was that she looked at me and asked why I hated myself. I must say I don't hate myself per se. Everyone has complaints. My complaint register runs miles and miles in length and I admit that if I had a chance I would have done some things better. I can (with much confidence) say that I made many mistakes and that I've spent far too many nights regretting them but I don't hate myself. But the case was different. I heard myself saying wierd things to her. I heard myself saying that I hated myself for not growing up. For being such an open book. People could see through my feelings as if I was nothing but a silly see-through gown. People read my feelings as if I was a damn page out of a bloody Jeffrey Archer novel. I hated myself for not knowing occlumency. I looked in her eyes, my eyes searching for solace but there was none. And then suddenly she said, "You know you can jump from here." I first laughed and then felt angry that how could she even say something like that. But before I could anything she was gone. I felt a slight jerk and awoke with a start.
Soon I realized that it was a dream. I sat up and looked at the sky. Then I stood up and walked to the edge of the building. My legs were shaking as if any moment they would betray me and I would fall. Taking some half a dozen steps back, I looked forward, took a deep breath. Gathering some momentum I ran forward and jumped out of the building. But before the rubble and dust could come and kiss me I awoke cold and shivering, my temples drenched with sweat. Now this is the part where I should say that I'm happy that the nightmare was behind me. But oddly enough I felt a pang of relief run through my body.
****[epilogue] - Walking past the library, I gazed at the building concentrating at the part from where I had jumped and traced the path to the ground. I closed my eyes and imagined something heavy hit the ground. I went to the spot and looked at it carefully that I was reminded of what Morpheus said in The Matrix.
"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream. How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

Well we all know Old Big Gob talks balls, but now it seems he talks ball boys too. Mr Motor Mouth is denying it, but according to Aston Villa's Matt Lowton, Warnock's gamesmanship didn't just extend to what happened on the pitch when in charge of Shafting United but reached out to guidance to the ball boys on how to cheat too.
And all this at the time that Warnock and the Blunted Blades were complaining that Tevez had single handedly relegated them. Pot and kettle come to mind?

Although a member of the Trust and the Forum I am voicing my own opinions.
Throughout the last two years Forum representatives have met on an average every three months with Fareham Borough Council Planning representatives. This has involved discussions on future planning, including the Neighbourhood Plan area. We were very aware that the Draft Local Plan would endeavour to maintain the strategic gap, despite numerous offers of land from owners in and around the Neighbourhood Plan area. It is, therefore, no surprise that the Neighbourhood Plan, based on residents views, advises no sites in the area. The housing group of the Forum spent much time assessing, using approved assessment sheets, to obtain evidence to support our policy of no sites. Government guide lines strongly support these discussion phases to enable, if conflict arises, time for both sides to negotiate and involve residents in further discussion. This brings about" running alongside the Borough Plan " it does not mean " bending the knee"
In the light of recent pressure from Government for the Council to find even more housing it is vitally important that Fareham have a clear view that residents, if they vote yes to the plan, have shown that they consider no sites suitable in this area. With so many sites offered for purchase this is a definite consideration that the Borough must take. Surely any brake on thoughts of large scale developing is worth the effort!
Warsash and other areas around are, some with help from their Councillors, moving forward to quickly produce a Neighbourhood Plan. The Forum have also been given the right to speak at the Posbrook appeal, where they will give clear reasons for not supporting this site. Even though the plan may not have been voted on at that point, as an emerging plan it must be taken into consideration.
In my opinion there is no conflict between the Forum and the TVT. All members of both have the aims of keeping conservation, protection of the strategic gap, water meadows and environment safe. It is only in the case of windfall development (like the garage site) that the Plan would have a statutory role. However, it is good that a number of areas such as Barrys Meadow play equipment, accessibility, traffic calming, invasive species, raising historic profile, presentation, and even rubbish bins have been raised by residents. These, surely can be worked on by any group! There is no conflict, no competition of " Who did what " – only the Village wins.
On the issues of money coming from any development, there is one point I would make. If, in the event of money coming from development, it would be through consultation with every resident on how the money would be spent. The area is a mixture of age range and socio-economic groups of residents who would make those decisions and not just our job as members of the Trust
Lastly, I agree it is "not broken" at the moment but this Plan may stop it being broken for the next twenty years by major developers. It may also, through the Tasks listed in the Plan, get some things moving again. The vibrations felt by some residents in South Street due to speeding and heavy traffic will end up causing damage that may be could have been avoided. We could say all these things have been tried before but sometimes new ideas come along and changes for the good happen.
Let us all work together for this beautiful place!

Citizen participation in building citizen-centric smart cities
Recently, the governors of technology-driven smart cities have been criticised for ignoring their citizens and limiting the role of the general public to being passive users. Even though the goal of realising citizen centricity has been embodied in the visions of most smart cities, it has remained to be a rhetorical notion. This paper was aimed to understand the citizen participation and citizen centricity phenomena in smart cities. The research method of this review paper applied the literature review framework of vom Brocke et al., with modification. Salient features such as the domains of smart cities, state of citizen centricity, Arnstein's ladder of participation, characteristics of the citizens, and management of the associated challenges have been elaborated in this theoretical study. It is postulated that citizen and participation factors are essential to build the citizen-centric smart cities. This proposition includes the characteristics of citizens and co-production, whereby the former encompasses the behaviours and roles of the citizens, while the later entails the engagement of citizens in the upper level of public within the rungs of partnership and delegated power, building of trust-capacity relationships between public professionals and citizens, as well as understanding of deliberative democracy. This research agenda will serve as a basis for further empirical research.
