The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships so we may get a share of the revenue from your purchase.
Is your pad is feeling less than inspiring these days? Have you recently moved into a new space but haven't gotten around to decorating it yet? Whatever the scenario, styling geniuses Leanne Ford Shaffer of ACRE and Allison Petty of Homepolish are here to help spruce it up, affordably.
The interior design experts understand that not everyone has buckets of money to spend on statement furniture pieces, elaborate light fixtures, Oriental rugs, and other home accents. Instead, Ford Shaffer and Petty helped us curate 13 budget-friendly upgrades that'll instantly elevate your abode. Scroll down for tons of styling advice and wallet-friendly suggestions.
"You don't need to be using your bedding from college just because it's not threadbare yet," Leanne Ford Shaffer of ACRE told us. "It's time to move on." The interior designers recommends West Elm for classic and simple bedding. "Stay away from crazy patterns or prints — even if you love them — because they date quickly and can also feel childish. My favorite is a classic all-white bed; wash the sheets a couple times before putting them on your bed. And, instead of throw pillows on your bed, just add two or three extra pillows for sleeping."
Belgian Linen Duvet Cover + Shams, $29.99 to $183.
Shop more white bedding here.
"Paint all or just one of your walls a great color," Homepolish designer Allison Petty suggests. "Doing this makes it look like you've made an effort to get rid of the current white paint and are approaching your space in a more considered, thoughtful manner."
Chasing Paper Wall Panels in Fern, $50 to $200.
"Throw pillows are a great way to add another layer to your space without spending a lot of money," Petty told us. "They can bring in color and texture and help change your space without replacing the couch."
Graphic Patchwork Square Pillow Cover, $39; Crewel Windowpane Pillow Cover, $39; Decorative Pillow Insert, $16.
"Lightbulbs cost mere dollars but make a huge difference in your home," Ford says. "Pick something with slightly lower and warmer lighting to make your place feel warmer and cozier. If you live in place that you can change the fixtures, get rid of the old dated lighting fixtures."
Edison-Style Bulb, Short, $12; Lens Scone, $99.
Shop more lightbulbs and fixtures here.
"Books add a great touch of art, design, and class to a home," according to Ford. But, since new hardcovers and paperbacks can get expensive quick, she suggests scouring garage sales, flea markets, and Goodwills instead. "Get titles and covers that appeal to you — then stack them on your coffee table, or that empty shelf in your apartment."
Petty also suggests incorporating small trays, bowls, book ends, boxes, and other functional accessories into your home's decor; they serve the dual purpose of looking great and nixing clutter.
Striped Angle Geometry Bookend, $39; Square Lacquer Trays, $24.99 to $29.
"Sometimes it's worth it to save your money for that one special piece, such as a great armchair in a color and fabric you love," says Petty. "Invest in pieces you can bring with you and avoid purchasing specific items that will only work for your current space."
Petty's pro tip: "Swapping out knobs and other hardware allows you to 'upgrade' your cabinetry or furniture without replacing anything."
Agate Cabinet Handle Set of Two, $49.
Shop more unique cabinet hardware here.
You can (and should) frame anything. "A frame instantly elevates an item. Even the silliest of things, like your kids' macaroni art projects, will look smashing in a frame" explains Petty. "Just make sure you have a good story to tell when someone asks you about it."
Gallery Frames in Black, $12 to $99.
Shop more decorative frames here.
9. Succulents and Fresh Flowers
"Incorporating a fresh bouquet of flowers every week will help liven up your space, and it can be done inexpensively," Petty notes. "Stick to hardier varieties that will last longer." Terrariums with succulents arranged in them are another option, so long as you don't have a black thumb.
A simple glass vessel, like the ones pictured here, will display your blooms proudly.
Open-Face Terrariums, $14 to $29.
"Incorporate storage items into your decor as much as possible — the more storage you have, the tidier and more 'thought about' your house will feel," suggests Petty.
Industrial Storage Coffee Table, $549 to $699; Crated Office Collection, $29 to $126.
Shop more storage solutions here.
11. Window Treatments
"Buying new panels will change the way your space looks — instantly," offers Petty. "The small adjustment will make a surprisingly big impact." They'll look a lot better and offer more privacy than bare windows.
Cotton Canvas Bracket Geo Curtain in Moonshine, $39 to $59.
Shop more window treatments here.
"By now, I am sure your pint glass collection from bars across America is getting pretty good — I get it," says Ford. "But, it's probably time you upgraded your space with matching glassware and mugs." Matching doesn't have to mean expensive: Go to Ikea, CB2, or something other home store for sophisticated-looking pieces that won't give you chest pains if (okay, when) when they break.
"If you can, swing for matching dishes as well," suggests Ford. "And, again, keep it simple and avoid designs and prints for a foolproof selection."
Hobnail Acrylic Glassware (Set of 4), $16.
Shop more tabletop essentials here.
13. Bathroom Toiletries
"Buy a nice bottle of hand soap for each sink," Ford urges. "Sure, its $20 instead of $4, but enjoy it. And, when it runs out you can fill it with the container cheap stuff. No one will know at that point anyway." The designer has a good point — "your soap dispensers are always out and showing, so they may as well be nice-looking."
If you can't justify the fancy-pants soap, maybe you can justify buying a nice-smelling diffuser or candle. Every bathroom can use one of those, too.
Shop more bathroom accessories here.

i'm trying to convert some patches from my old V-Station to Dune 3.
MOD ENV Knob
Controls the amount of pitch modulation to an oscillator from the Mod Envelope. In the centre
position there is no effect on the oscillator's pitch; anticlockwise the effect is negative (i.e. the
pitch drops and then rises) and clockwise positive (the pitch rises and then falls).
The MOD ENV may be used to control other sound elements of the synthesizer throughout
the duration of the sound. It can control oscillator pulse width, filter frequency and oscillator
So this just looks like a ADSR for pitch + Amount of PitchMod.
I'm struggling a little bit with the "pitch env" of the oscs of Dune.
This is what i did in Dune 3 and expected a pitch-enveloped osc 1:
But it only plays a generic saw. Any idea what i did wrong? Thanks!

Based upon careful scientific research and logical deduction, this is a trilogy for all who have an interest in the nature of the reality in which they exist. My Big TOE is not only about scientific theory, function, and process – a discovery of Big Picture science – but also speaks to each individual reader about his or her innate capabilities. Readers will learn how to evolve their human potential far beyond the limitations of the physical universe.
My Big TOE is about life, purpose, personal significance, physics, evolution, and the reason why. The acronym "TOE" is a standard term in the physics community that stands for "Theory Of Everything." Such a theory has been the "Holy Grail" of physicists for more than fifty years. My Big TOE delivers the solution to that scientific quest at the layman's level with precision and clarity. This book is an adventure into the overlapping worlds of science, philosophy, and metaphysics. It is tightly analytical and logical as all good works of science and philosophy should be, while at the same time down to earth, easily understandable, and full of good humor. No leaps of faith or beliefs of any sort are required to get to where these books will take you.
Campbell did not put the "My" in My Big TOE to flaunt pride of authorship. Nor does the "My" indicate any lack of generality or applicability to others. The "My" was added to be a constant reminder to you that this reality model cannot serve as your personal Big TOE until it is based upon your personal experience. On the other hand, personal or subjective experience is only one piece of the reality puzzle. In the objective physical world of traditional science, My Big TOE delivers a comprehensive model of reality that subsumes modern science, describes our objective material reality, and is universally applicable. Contemporary physics is shown to be a special case of a more general set of basic principles.

Book 1: Awakening
Book 2: Discovery
Book 3: Inner Workings

The new Burlap Stockings are perfect for the upcoming holiday season and right on trend with all the burlap out there! Christine joining you today to show how I decorated mine using some of our new patterned vinyl. If you are thinking, wait what!?! Patterned vinyl on burlap? Well I will explain later on why this can be a really good option!
I love the look of the Burlap Stocking with Red Trim and was excited to get my hands on it. I used my electronic die cutting maching to cut out some of the Patterned Vinyl in Red Dots to make the word Joy. I added that to the stocking. It sticks really well but is not permanent. I actually kind of like that because it's on there well enough that it isn't going to fall off, but if I want to pull it off and change it up next year to match new decor, I can!
I also used some 2 inch Lace to decorate the top portion of the stocking. I attached that using liquid fabric glue. Can you go wrong with combining burlap and lace? I don't think so! I also added some ribbon and little ornaments to the stocking hook. I did this mostly to bring in some additional color and interest.
Christmas is coming up fast! Snag some of these beautiful stockings now and add a personal touch to your home decor this year!

The Heavy's embrace of sonic variety may help explain the wide generational appeal of its fanbase. Page (far right) says he's been "struck by how diverse the age range is" at various shows. "There are kids as well as people in their 60s! It's such a variety. Initially you're thinking, "Why isn't it full of young girls?!" -but we're attracting more people. It's a broader appeal, so hopefully that means a greater lifespan (for the band) as well."

Another chapter in my series of museums in books – previously, I've tackled the representation of the British Museum in Gothic Horror, I've looked at private collections in Hitchcockian thrillers and I've even ponder the lack of museums in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Today, I'm taking on a rather unexpected genre of book; the space-set sci-fi, in particular, Becky Chambers' A Closed and Common Orbit.
I know, it's the last place I expected to stumble across a museum.
But, it makes sense in terms of the story. Chambers' characters Sidra and Pepper explore themes of identity and memory in all sorts of interesting ways. You know what of places explore things like identity and memory in all sorts of interesting ways? That's right – museums!
The description of the museum in the story is perhaps one of the nicest I've read:
"The Reskit Museum of Interstellar Migration (Kaathlet Branch) turned out to be one of those things that made civilisation as a whole look like a pretty good thing to get behind."
There is so much to unpack here. Firstly, note that the museum is not human in origin. That's right, sapiens, we're not at the top of the civilised food-chain (and why on Earth, or any planet for that matter, should we be?). Secondly, the museum celebrates migration; travelling around; settling in places other than those we began. Thirdly, migration and moving around is, and I quote something that "made civilisation as a whole look like a pretty good thing to get behind." This is something I quite like about the sci-fi genre in general, it can be so tolerant and accepting of other cultures.
The last thing I want to point out, is that this building is only an off-shoot of a central museum. Despite this, it is still described as the largest building in the city.
Conservators amongst you will be overjoyed to know that Chambers has done her research. "Sunlight," she notes, "was rough on just about everything." To get around this obvious lighting issue, the architects had built "…the entire complex out of thinly cut yellow stone, sliced so slim that the light from outside glowed through. The effect was haunting – magical almost."
So far, this museum seems too good to be true. We have only seen it from the outside, what kind of wonders await within? We soon find out: "Everything in the Reskit Museum was junk."
We have to bear in mind, that at this point we are seeing the museum through the eyes of Pepper, a character who is very techy indeed, of course everything would be junk to her.It has become unusable, unfixable. What is fascinating to see, especially after such a glowing description of the museum's facade, is questioning "Why this stuff?" After all, a lot of museums are full of what would be in many cases, just junk. Junk that we can't do much with…
However, the thing Pepper is looking for is junk. Except… it's not junk to her. Without giving any spoilers, she's trying to reclaim something from her youth. Well, someone, if you think AI can be people (AI can totally be people). Her plight has some interesting parallels to the Parthenon Marbles, as both were obtained through legal means but no thought was given at the time to any other attachments to these objects.
So, what are the curators like? On the whole, they're friendly and helpful. They aid our heroes when they think they are researching, but we have to bear in mind that the curators are essentially low-level antagonists, something for the heroes to overcome on their quest.
We've seen curators fill the role of anatagonist before – notably in The Mummy Returns and as red-herring-villains in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed but these are movies! So far, I've come across one curator in the hero role, and that's in China Mievill'es Kraken but looking forward to discovering more as I continue exploring Museums in Books.
By the way – I heartily suggest reading A Closed and Common Orbit. It's one of the best books I've read this year.

I requested an interview with Kevin Gillard of Hetfordshire, England. We met through Facebook and he came across as someone who wanted to help others. So I wanted to find out more about him. Often times, we think that only the famous should be able to share their life. Well, I disagree. I believe that everyone has something to share, I believe everybody is gifted with a story. This…is part of Kevin Gillards. Please enjoy.
Hello Kevin Gillard and thank you for agreeing to let me interview you.
Where are you from?
Kevin G: Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England.
Bee: I did a little research and this is one of the pictures that came up for Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England. I Think it's beautiful.
Kevin G:
I have been here for five years, previously I lived wherever work took me. I'm originally from the county of Somerset.
Are you married?
Kevin G:
I married when I was much younger but that did not last very long. I was far too young.
You know what, I think a lot of people can relate. As young people, we made plenty of whoopsies.
Do you have children?
Kevin G:
Yes, two but I don't see them.
I won't go into that any further but I hope that your relationship with your children will be better one day.
What is it that you currently title as your job?
Kevin G:
I'm a handyman gardener, previously I worked as a truck driver.
I like gardens and even want one some time in the future but I just can't deal with the insects. Speaking of gardens, what's your favorite food?
Kevin G:
Thai curries are my favorite.
I haven't had the pleasure of trying any Thai Curry but am putting it on my bucket list. Do you recall your fondest childhood memory?
Kevin G:
Swimming, as a child we had a pool in our garden.
That sounds like a bloody good time:) Learning to swim is also on my bucket list. Can you name a fear that you overcame?
Kevin G:
I'm not keen on flying but I've done it three times.
Kudos to you. Have you ever ran across a famous personality?
Kevin G:
Not that I am aware of.
If you had a Do-Over Button, what would be your top 3?
Kevin G:
Nothing, my past experiences make me the person I am today.
I am constantly trying to find ways to do things better.
That's noble…If you stumbleupon one, send it my way:)
Do you own any pets?
Kevin G:
No but I'd love to have another dog.
Do you have any religious beliefs?
Kevin G:
I'm not religious but Karma seems to be real enough.
What goes around comes around.
Yes, it does always comes back around.
Have you ever seen a ghost or anything paranormal?
Kevin G:
Paranormal, I don't think so.
I have but we won't get into that. If someone asked you for the best Life Advice you could give, what would it be?
Kevin G:
Advice…if you have the chance to learn take it with both hands.
Give me one event that changed your life?
Kevin G:
The current recession has changed my life drastically.
It has inspired me to create 'Advertise for Free'
I really appreciate you taking the time to share some of your life with me. I enjoy interviewing people from all different walks of life and parts of the world. We're all alike in some way. There's something that Universally connects us all. Let's remember that the next time we start to think we're, "The Special Ones."

Dream Catcher Series
The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. "Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through… Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day." Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper. Here are a few dreamcatchers I have recently been working on.

In my travels around the globe, both virtual and real I am often asked about the difference between Mind Mapping for yourself and the use of your Mind Mapping with others.
Mind Mapping for yourself is by definition a personal process and so you will always benefit from the technique.
Whilst the evidence of your efforts is a mind map, the internal benefits from your thinking necessary to create it far outweigh the value of the map itself.
If you are a regular here, you will read (and see) me repeat time and time again, it is the process of Mind Mapping that holds the power and the key to far more effective thinking.
Now if you come to share that mind map with someone else, they do not have the benefit of being inside your head or with you when you created it, so you have to explain it to them.
Even then, that will not transfer the benefits of the process to them, only the outcome or conclusions you have come to.
So it is like the difference between going on a journey and enjoying the travel to get there and being instantly tele-ported to the destination.
Great Mind Mapping Experience
The end result appears to be the same but one has a richness of experience (both good and bad) and texture the other will never have.
Where others will get benefit from your Mind Mapping is when you do it with them and the tool is used as a group capture mechanism.
Because they are present as it is being developed, then they are part of the thinking process which they can benefit from too.
More powerful than that is when they also create their own map as the group one is being developed so they can keep track of their own thoughts that they may not wish to share with others in the group.
So there is a difference between the two and that is important to understand when you are using Mind Mapping with others.

Daulat Beg Oldi (also Oldie, DBO), Ladakh, India is a historic camp site and current military base located on an ancient trade route connecting Ladakh to the Tarim Basin. The Chip Chap River flows just to the south of Daulat Beg Oldi from east to west. Daulat Beg Oldie also has an airstrip at an altitude of 5065 meters (16,614 feet), which is the world's highest airstrip.
Location and physical conditions[edit]
Daulat Beg Oldi lies near the easternmost point of the Karakoram Range in a cold desert region in the far north of India, just 8 km south of the Chinese border and 9 km northwest of the Aksai Chin Line of Actual Control between China and India. Other than Siachen Glacier military bases, it is India's northernmost built-up area. The nearest inhabited town is Murgo (literally: "the gateway of death" in Yarkandi Uyghur) to the south, which has a small population of Baltis who primarily depend on apricot farming and yak rearing.
The Indian government first announced plans in 2001 to construct a motorable road from Leh to its destination at Daulat Beg Oldi.
Temperature plummets as low as -55 C in the winters. The weather deteriorates frequently with strong icy winds lashing much of DBO. DBO has very little if any vegetation or wildlife. Communication is possible only through INMARSAT (satellite) phones.
The place is named after Daulat Baig, a 16th-century Yarkandi nobleman who is supposed to have died at this place after descent from the Karakoram Pass. Daulat Baig Oldi literally means, "Daulat Baig Died".[1] The trade route via the Karakoram Pass was used by caravans traveling between Leh and the Tarim Basin. DBO is believed to have been a stopping point for the caravans but not known to have any permanent civilian population. India and China sealed their borders after the 1962 India-China War, ending most of the cross-border trade.[citation needed]
In April 2013, a platoon-sized contingent of the People's Liberation Army established a campsite 30 km southeast of DBO,[2] a location in the Indian military's "DBO sector." In reference to their own perception of the LAC's location, India initially claimed that the Chinese camp was 10 km on their side, later revising this to a 19 km claim,[3] and claimed that Chinese military helicopters had violated Indian airspace during the incident.[4] In early May, both sides withdrew their units further back.
Advanced Landing Ground[edit]

The Indian Army maintains helipads and a gravel air strip here, the highest airstrip in the world. Routine sorties are carried out using An-32 aircraft to provide relief and supplies to the troops stationed nearby.[5] The base was established during the Sino-Indian conflict in 1962, with the first landing by Squadron Leader C.K.S Raje who set a record for the world's highest aircraft landing at the time. It was operated with American-supplied Fairchild Packets from 1962 to 1966, when it had to be closed down suddenly when an earthquake caused loosening of the surface soil, making the area unsuitable for fixed-wing aircraft.[6] Work was undertaken to make the airfield operational again, and was marked on 31 May 2008, when an Indian Air Force An-32 landed.[7]
The Indian Air Force first landed transports here between 1962 and 1965 and then after a gap for 43 years, the IAF started landing at DBO in 2008. In a significant demonstration of its capabilities, the Indian Air Force landed a C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft in Daulat Beg Oldie on 20 August 2013, thirty kilometers from where the 2013 Daulat Beg Oldi Incident took place in April 2013. This landing could qualify as a world record for a medium-lift aircraft landing at this altitude.[8][9][10]
India-China Border Meeting point[edit]
It is also one of the five officially agreed Border Personnel Meeting points between the Indian Army and the People's Liberation Army of China for regular consultations and interactions between the two armies, which helps in defusing stand-offs.[11]

text: Ready to hear me complain about something? Great, here we go. On the radio this morning I heard the morning team on NPR talking about a thing that happened in their fake jovial manner. Bad enough, I know, but along the way they used the phrase "angry environmentalist". We might as well conjoin these words now, as angryenvironmentalist. If you were an environmentalist in the USA in 2011, how would you feel? Angry? Goes without saying. Which I would prefer, because in this context, the adjective is way, way overused. It's probably meant to call to mind the image of somebody carrying a sign, wearing unfashionable outdoor garments, and shouting about the impending doom of the South-Northern Extra Pesky Mosquito. Which nobody would be too concerned about being doomed. But I say environmentalists have a legitimate beef. Let's just say "environmentalist" and leave it at that.

Irma: The Latest
150 Rescued From Floodwater in west Orange County
Update 5:07 p.m.
The residents of one Orange County neighborhood face an especially long recovery from Irma.
Nearly 150 had to be rescued from floodwater.
Some 550 homes are affected in Orlo Vista, a residential community in west Orange County that is near three lakes.
Peterson Desravins says his home is surrounded by lake water on three sides.
"Where I was sitting at I didn't notice the water. When I put my feet down I noticed the water. Then it's like, OK, where is the water coming from. And I looked, and that's when you notice, Oh, wow, the lake is in the front of the house."
He fled to a nearby condo but not before the water in his home reached at least two feet deep.
Firefighters and National Guard members rescued the residents. They carried some of them on their backs through chest-deep water.
Irma Moves Out Leaving Dangerous Road Conditions
Florida Highway Patrol says they're seeing too many people out "sightseeing" and not obeying the curfew.
FHP says trees are down and there's standing water from the exit ramps at 528 to 520. Those ramps have been closed in both directions. Sergeant Kim Montes says there are numerous "wash outs" along I-4—where parts of the road washed away
"They're on the shoulder, but we have troopers and DOT personnel out there trying to fix it especially I-4 in the Longwood area so basically the roadway is actually gone there but it's on the shoulder."
Montes says she's pulled over about 30 vehicles. She pulled over some people for violating the curfew and others for not stopping at intersections with traffic lights out. Intersections with no lights should be treated as a four-way stop.
In Volusia County, officials are lifting a mandatory curfew, but County Sheriff Mike Chitwood is urging residents to use common sense.
There will be night-time curfew, however, since most of the county is without power "That is going to create a public hazard come dark.," said Chitwod. "We are going to institute, until further notice, a nighttime curfew from 10 p.m to 6 a.m. county wide. The purpose of that is public safety."
Florida Power and Light is working to restore power. Officials urge residents to call 1-800-4-OUTAGE or FPL.com to report downed power lines or outages.
Tornado Hits Brevard County
A tornado hit southern Brevard County, demolishing and damaging mobile homes. Lt. Mike Bandish of the Palm Bay police said the tornado hit at around 11:15 am Sunday. A couple of the mobile homes on Indian River Drive were demolished and 19 of them were damaged.
"Nobody was hurt, there was a 90-year-old man in one of the houses that was partially damaged," said Bandish. "And he at first refused to evacuate and we talked him out and helped him evacuate."
Bandish says the roof was pulled off of a home on Worth Court.
Brevard County Emergency Management says there were three other possible tornadoes in Palm Bay, Indialantic and Mims.
High winds took the roof off the five-story Castaway Cove apartment building and damaged the Bay Towers.
Brevard County's emergency management center also feeling the effects from Irma. The parking lot is flooded and has been running on backup power since Sunday evening.
The mayor of Cocoa Beach says Hurricane Irma blew off part of the roof of the Cocoa Beach police department. Nobody was inside at the time and everyone is safe. It happened Sunday. Police are now working at the nearby Cocoa Beach Fire Department building.
Death in Orange County
Orange County has had its first death. A driver died on the 417 Sunday evening. A rescue vehicle with a patient inside drove through a puddle and hydroplaned into a guardrail. The patient made it to the hospital.
Orange County Mayor Teressa Jacobs is urging everyone to stay inside.
"Hunker down, get in your safe place, stay together as a family," said Jacobs. "I've done this it can be a great bonding time. Stay together, stay safe."
The Florida Highway Patrol says there have been ten crashes on central Florida roads.
Residnts Flock To Their Local Shelter
Thousands of residents poured into shelters across central Florida. In Brevard, 4,085 stayed Sunday night in shelters with 468 pets. Lake County registered 4,617, Osceola says 2,621 people are in shelters, Orange County says more than 4,200 people are in shelters along with more than 200 pets, and Seminole County counted 1,369 people in its shelters, Volusia has about 4,000 in its shelters.
Power Outages Across Florida
More than 3.5 million customers were without power across Florida late Sunday night.
Florida Power and Light says its restoration team put in place is the biggest the county's ever seen. Spokesman Rob Gould says there are nearly 17,000 people working as a part of the restoration crew, a sizable difference compared to typical crews.
"And that number is about three times the size of our everyday restoration team and about 25 percent more than what we had in place when Hurricane Matthew struck us last year," said Gould.
Pair of Manatees Stranded in Sarasota Bay
Two manatees were stranded after Hurricane Irma sucked water out of Sarasota Bay, in Florida's Manatee County.
Several people posted photos Sunday of the mammals on Facebook, hoping rescue workers or wildlife officials would respond. Michael Sechler posted that the animals were far too massive to be lifted, so the rescuers gave them water.
Marcelo Clavijo posted that a group of people eventually loaded the manatees onto tarps and were able to drag them to deeper water.
The Associated Press and WLRN contributed to this update
What We Know: 3 p.m.
Irma is moving over Marco Island as a Category 3 storm. The storm is projected to hit Tampa early Monday morning.
While Central Florida is no longer in the protected path, the storm is nearly 400 miles wide. The strongest winds – up to 75 mph – will hit the Orlando area in the early morning hours Monday.
The storm is predicted to weaken as it moves North across the state, scraping along the west coast and be out of the state by Monday night.
Irma killed 22 people as it moved through the Caribbean. Three Florida automobile deaths are related to the storm.
The storm is responsible for more than two million power outages in the state — mostly in South Florida.
Central Florida is prone to tornadoes as the storm moves through.
Update 1:45pm
Gov. Rick Scott is asking for donations, volunteers and prayers as Hurricane Irma moves in on Florida. Three people have died in Florida, two near Sarasota and one in Monroe County. All of the deaths were related to car accidents.
At least 1.4 million customers are without power across the state, most of them in south Florida.
Hurricane Irma stretches up to 400 miles wide, so winds and storm surge along the coast are major concerns.
"We're going to get it on both coasts, more on the west than the east it looks like right now," said Scott. "The storm surge, depending on how the winds are coming, can be before the storm and it can be after the storm."
The Florida National Guard has thousands activated, and 30,000 guardsmen from neighboring states are on standby. Scott says 16 states have offered help and the National Guard is ready to assist by land, sea and air. Fish and Wildlife has hundreds of vessels on standby for after the storm. FEMA says there are tens of thousands of cots, blankets, tarps, meals and liters of water on standby to help residents after the storm.
Medical Needs During Irma
Scott is also asking for nurses to volunteer at special needs shelters. So far, some 2,000 nurses have volunteered so far, but Scott says Florida needs more.
OneBlood is using police escorts in some cases to get blood to hospitals during Hurricane Irma.
"We're actually coordinating with the local police to get the blood to them," said OneBlood's Susan Forbes. "Our couriers are getting the blood in some cases to police to get that blood to a hospital during the storm."
America's Blood Centers and Blood Centers of America is also coordinating to arrange for blood shipments after the storm clears.
OneBlood is asking people outside of Irma's path to donate now – in particular, platelets and O-negative blood.
Update 10:10am
With Irma just hours away, the High Patrol is urging drivers to stay off roads.
Counties across central Florida have imposed a 7 p.m. curfew to keep residents indoors. Volusia County has issued at 9 p.m. curfew.
More than 1,700 troopers are on the road helping residents with evacuations. Troopers are also escorting fuel trucks into central Florida for last-minute gassing up. GasBuddy shows some stations open with fuel across central Florida.
The state is working to keep gas stations open along evacuation routes, said the governor.
"I waived Florida's motor fuel import tax for five days to help bring more fuel to our state for storm response and recovery," said Scott. "This will make our efforts to bring in fuel from neighboring states after the storm easier."
Florida utility officials say more than 1 million customers have lost power as Hurricane Irma hits the state.
Florida Power & Light Company said that nearly 1.1 million customers statewide were without power Sunday morning.
About 574,000 of those outages were in Miami-Dade County, while there were 360,000 in Broward and nearly 136,000 in Palm Beach County.
The massive storm made landfall in the Florida Keys, and its center was forecast to move up the state's Gulf Coast. But the effects are being felt far from the center because of Irma's size.
Shelter Information for Sunday
Shelters across the region are filling up.
There's still room at Orange County shelters, where more than 2,200 in the 18 shelters open. Another pet-friendly shelter will open at 10 a.m. at Oakridge High School. Shelters are filling up, residents should check ocfl.net
The Islamic Society of Central Florida has opened up a shelter in Orlando.
Spokeswoman Dimarie Garcia says there's still room at the shelter on Goldenrod and Colonial Drive. The shelter will remain open as long as the weather allows.
"Everyone is a little bit nervous," said Garcia, "on edge, but we're doing our best to accommodate to make everyone feel comfortable and safe at this point."
The shelter is providing food, sleeping arrangement and activities for kids as they ride out the storm.
In Lake County there are 3,856 people and 470 animals hunkering down. Some Lake shelters are at capacity and residents should check the county's webpage or Facebook page.
Lines are forming in Osceola County where six shelters are still open. They are St Cloud High School, Celebration High School, Harmony High School (pet Friendly) Horizon Middle School, Narcoossee Middle School. There are some 2,400 people sheltering in Osceola.
In Volusia County shelter rooms are available and transportation to shelters is available upon request.
Hospitals Closing Ahead of Irma
More hospitals are closing for Hurricane Irma and shutting down their emergency rooms.
In Volusia County, Florida Hospital Oceanside in Ormond Beach transferred 31 patients Saturday.
Florida Hospital New Smyrna in New Smyrna Beach transferred about 50 patients. Cape Canaveral Hospital in Merritt Island shut down earlier in the week.
In Osceola County, Osceola Regional Medical Center closed its freestanding emergency room in Hunter's Creek.
Gov. Scott Urges Residents to Hunker Down, Remain Calm
Orange County emergency officials are urging people to stay indoors Sunday. John Mulhall with Orange County Office of Emergency Management says while this is a massive storm he fears people will become complacent.
"And plus with the size of the storm, we're going to be seeing those tropical storm force winds for a longer duration," he said. "By the last weather forecast I looked at, it's entirely possible that we could see wind speeds in the higher levels for up to 24 hours."
Gov. Rick Scott is urging residents to be patient after the storm. He says search and rescue crews are staged around the state, and food and water is ready to be distributed to impacted areas.
"We will do all we can to get this out quickly," said Scott. "The Department of Transportation, National Guard and Fish and Wildlife will work as fast as they can to clear roads so we can get food and water to shelters in impacted areas. But disaster response takes time."

As Irma Moves In, Local Leaders Issue Curfews
Updated 9:16 p.m.
Meteorologists say heavy rain squalls spawning tornadoes are hitting South Florida part of Hurricane Irma's leading edge.
The National Hurricane Center says a hurricane hunter airplane found Irma's winds dropped from 125 mph to 120 mph, but that's likely to soon increase again now that the center of the storm is over bathtub-warm water.
Hurricane force winds extend 70 miles out from the 30-milewide storm eye.
Marathon International Airport recently reported a sustained wind of 48 mph (77 kilometers per hour) and a gust to 67 mph (108 kilometers per hour).
In an effort to ensure safety county leaders in the following areas are issuing curfews.
ORANGE: Sunday, September 10 at 7 p.m. through Monday, September 11 at 6 p.m. This curfew will not apply to emergency responders, employees at hospital and health care facilities and critical staff for businesses that provide essential commodities and services.
SEMINOLE: Seminole County has issued a curfew beginning Sun, 9/10 at 7pm through 6pm Monday, 9/11
VOLUSIA: A countywide curfew will begin at 9 p.m. Sunday and is expected to be lifted at 12 p.m. Monday. Officials plan to have bridges at 12 p.m. Sunday because their threshold is sustained winds of 39 mph.
Cape Canaveral Hospital shuts down, patients evacuated
Cape Canaveral Hospital in Merritt Island has been evacuated.
Matthew Gerrell with Health First said 84 patients were transferred to other Health First Hospitals in Brevard or discharged home.after Matthew, they learned the Viera hospital gets busiest during a storm.
"So what we've done with the transferring of patients, we put value of moving patients to Palm Bay Hospital over Viera to keep those beds open, and we are already starting to see an influx of patients at Viera Hospital," Gerrell said.
Cape Canaveral hospital's emergency room is also shut down. Those transferred include four patients in the intensive care unit, and six mothers with new babies.
Seminole County Braces For Evacuations
Updated Friday 2pm
Emergency managers are concerned about serious winds from Hurricane Irma.
Irma is expected to hit Central Florida Sunday.
Seminole County Emergency Manager Alan Harris says he's prepared for a much stronger storm than Hurricane Charley which hit Central Florida in 2004.
"Much stronger than that. We're doing everything we can to prepare to receive evacuees. We'll be calling for evacuations tomorrow," said Harris.
"In the inland counties, we call for evacuations of mobile homes, manufactured homes, individuals with special needs that have oxygen or electricity to run medical devices, or in low lying areas, those flood prone, flood zone areas."
Irma Closes In On South Florida
Updated Friday 10:20 a.m.
Hundreds of thousands of South Floridians in the path of Major Hurricane Irma have less than 24 hours to make a decision. A decision to find higher ground, a sturdier structure, or hit the highway. Doing nothing is also a decision, but potentially a life-threatening one.
The winds of Irma are strong enough to leave homes and businesses "uninhabitable for weeks", so says the National Weather Service in Miami. The storm surge will be high enough in some spots to move miles inland. The rain will fall at a rate too fast for drainage systems and waterways to contain. And further inland, tornadoes could spin up very quickly, exacerbating the structural damage and threat to life for anyone not in a safe place.
Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate told us during a Facebook Live last night that "This is about as bad as it gets. This storm is bringing everything." He believes if we wait for "certainty", it will be too late.
The Florida Public Radio Emergency Network says the time to finish preparations and evacuations is closing:
- Key West, Miami and Fort Lauderdale – sunset tonight
- Naples, Ft. Myers, West Palm and Ft. Pierce – noon Saturday
- Sarasota, Bradenton, Melbourne – sunset Saturday
- Tampa, Orlando, Daytona Beach – 6 am Sunday
- Ocala, Gainesville, Jacksonville, St. Augustine – noon Sunday
Warnings Issued For Florida Penisula
Hurricane warnings have been issued for South Florida as thousands of people evacuate.
More than a half-million people have been ordered to leave the region ahead of Hurricane Irma.
The National Hurricane Center on Thursday night issued hurricane warnings for the Keys and an area of the peninsula including metro Miami and Lake Okeechobee. Storm surge warnings cover both coasts along the state's tip.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered all public schools, colleges and universities to close Friday through Monday.
The governor told residents not to become complacent because the storm could have "major and life-threatening impacts from coast to coast."
Brevard Area Hospital Plans Evacuation
Cape Canaveral Hospital in Merritt Island will begin evacuating patients Friday.
The hospital says the majority of patients will be transferred Friday. Cape Canaveral Hospital has 150 beds on Merritt Island.
Cape Canaveral says the hospital will be evaluated for damage after the storm, and will be able to take patients again once it's cleared for safety.
During Hurricane Matthew, Cape Canaveral Hospital was closed for a few days after the storm, and the National Disaster Medical System brought a field hospital to Brevard.
Construction Being Cleared Off Florida Roads
Florida Department of Transportation is taking measures to keep roads safe and running, making sure that all lanes are available in major roadways for people to evacuate safely.
With evacuations on Florida's Space Coast, FLDOT has suspended work operations in all active construction zones statewide that would impact lanes used by motorists for evacuations.
That includes construction on Interstate 4.
"At my direction all tolls have been waived across Florida roadways. This should help families evacuate quickly and safely," said Gov. Rick Scott.
The Florida Highway Patrol will have extra troopers, road rangers and wreckers on Florida's major roadways, which are expected to see a surge of vehicles traveling north.
Orlando Hotels Filling Up Ahead of Irma
Hotels are opening their doors to Florida residents seeking refuge from Hurricane Irma. Visit Orlando says hotel rooms are nearly completely booked ahead of the storm.
George Aguel, president and CEO of Visit Orlando, said some hotels are offering discounted rates.
"We have a seen however a great deal of flexibility by many of them not only the rates circumstances my vary general some have proposed some special rate associated with the event many of them have made their policies more flexible," he said.
Governor Urges Gas Stations To Remain Open
Updated Thursday 1:12 p.m. — Associated Press
Gov. Rick Scott is urging all gas stations in Florida to stay open as long as possible to accommodate people who are trying to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Irma.
The governor said during a Thursday news conference that the state will send in police escorts to get gas station employees out safely if necessary before the storm arrives.
He says authorities are already escorting fuel tankers to get them through traffic and to gas stations as quickly as possible.
Scott says all of the state's ports are still operating, bringing in fuel and supplies.
He urged residents to take only as much gas as they need to make sure there is enough for everyone who needs it.
Scott maintains that the state is doing everything it can to deal with fuel shortages and traffic jams so people can evacuate ahead of Hurricane Irma.
Scott on Thursday acknowledged that the current situation is "frustrating" for Floridians, but he said the state is working with federal authorities and other states to move as much gas into the state.
This includes having the Florida Highway Patrol escort fuel trucks.
Beth Frady, a spokeswoman for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said that during the night troopers helped escort trucks from two Florida ports to stations in Marion and Martin counties.
Troopers were also escorting trucks from Georgia to stations in Perry, which is located in north central Florida.
Brevard Announces Evacuation Orders
Brevard County officials announced mandatory evacuations starting at 3:00 p.m. Friday for Evacuation Zone A, which includes the barrier islands, Merritt Island and some mainland low-lying areas along the Indian River Lagoon. Officials warn those who live in mobile or manufactured homes, or homes in other flood-prone areas, whether on the mainland or barrier islands, should evacuate.
"We will take people to shelters if they can get to us in time and if we can get to them and we know that it's needed," said Don Walker, Brevard County emergency management spokesman.
Special needs shelters will open slightly earlier, at noon tomorrow, to take in residents who require extra health attention. But pre-registration is required. That can be done online or by calling 211.
Walker is encouraging people who do not evacuate the county to find a safe place to stay until at least early Monday morning. ""Whether it's a friend's house, a neighbor's house, a family member's house. If you don't feel safe in your structure, it's best to find someone who has a more modern type home that is built more to hurricane standards."
Shelters, including pet-friendly locations, will open 3:00 p.m. Friday.

Mandatory Evacuations Ordered In Some South Florida Areas
Updated Thursday 9:34 a.m. — Associated Press
Residents in parts of the Miami metro area are under mandatory orders to leave their homes as Hurricane Irma barrels toward South Florida with potentially catastrophic winds.
Mayors in Miami-Dade and Broward counties issued mandatory evacuation orders starting Thursday morning for barrier islands and low-lying mainland areas in the metro area of 6 million, where forecasters predict the hurricane with winds of 180 mph could strike by early Sunday.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott strongly urges people to evacuate if asked to do so by local officials. The governor also says he expects the state's gas stations to have fuel Thursday, after talking with fuel retailers a day earlier.
The Florida Highway Patrol says troopers are monitoring the high volume of traffic heading north on Florida's Turnpike as people evacuate South Florida.
In a news release, the highway patrol said extra troopers, road rangers and wreckers will be on the roadways to help drivers whose vehicles have become disabled.
The agency says disabled vehicles left on the shoulders of the highways will be towed staring Thursday morning to make it easier for emergency workers who are trying to reach crash victims.
Turnpike officials are also using cameras along the road to monitor conditions.
Anyone needed help can call *FHP to get assistance.
Services In Place For The Elderly And Special Needs
Support services are available across central Florida as Hurricane Irma approaches for the elderly and people with special needs.
Special needs shelters will be open to keep safe people who require extra resources and health attention. Volunteers and health officials will be working with the Florida Division of Emergency Management to deploy cots, wheelchairs, medication, oxygen and other medical supplies to these shelters.
To get transportation to and placement there, people must be signed up for a special needs registry in their respective counties.
In Orange County, officials say they'll wait a couple more days before opening special needs and general population shelters.
"The earliest we would probably be opening shelters—given the direction and the path of the storm at this time—would probably be Saturday, but, of course, we do want our citizens to be prepared if they do need to shelter," said Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs
Special needs shelters are not for people who need ventilators, hospital beds or around the clock care. Those residents are asked to make arrangements with a doctor of caregiver.
Residents are strongly encouraged to dial 311 for more information if they do not have access to county websites.
Immigrant Groups Urge Shelters To Not Inquire Immigration Status
Immigrant rights groups are urging the government not to inquire about anyone's immigration status at shelters that have opened in advance of Hurricane Irma.
The Florida Immigrant Coalition urged Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday to issue a statement saying the state welcomes people into shelters without checking IDs. Advocacy groups say immigrants are fearful after a Central Florida sheriff posted a Twitter message saying that officers will be checking IDs to keep sex offenders away from families.
The coalition said in a statement that this "is not a moment to incite fear in the hearts of our communities."
The American Civil Liberties Union's Florida chapter also weighed in, saying Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd "should be working to prepare his community, not burnishing his Joe Arpaio-style 'tough cop' credentials with a series of irresponsible tweets."
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said officials there won't be asking for identification.
Orange County Prepping For Influx Of Evacuees
Updated Wednesday 4:06 — Abe Aboraya
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings says central Florida should be prepared for a big influx of evacuees from Hurricane Irma.
Demings says shelters could open as early as Saturday in Orange County. He says officers will not be checking everyone for warrants, but you could be arrested if it comes to the attention of law enforcement.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd today tweeted that they will be checking IDs at shelters and will arrest those with a warrant.
Demings is encouraging residents to seek shelter. He said the law enforcement's job is to keep the peace at shelters.
"However, in that process, if it becomes known to us that a person has a warrant, or in some cases we're familiar with an individual, then we have to do our job," Demings said. "But we will not stand there and every person that checks into a shelter go down and check that person's name."
Demings said there are specific shelters set up for sex offenders that will not have children.
Florida Governor Rick Scott estimates 25,000 people have already fled Irma.
Irma Impact Expect This Weekend, Army Corps Preps Waterways
Updated Wednesday 4:01 p.m. — Brendan Byrne & Associated Press
Central Florida could feel the impact of Hurricane Irma as early this weekend. "The earliest, reasonable arrival time for tropical storm force winds, which would be 40 mph or greater, would be Saturday evening for the Orlando metro area," said Scott Kelly, Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
Kelly warns residents to not focus on the exact forecast track. "Tropical storm and hurricane force winds will extend far from the center of circulation."
If Hurricane Irma churns northward over the Florida peninsula, the water in Lake Okeechobee could impact flooding downstream.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking precautions by drawing down water levels ahead of the storm, and they'll be watching closely once it passes. Engineers are inspecting the Herbert Hoover Dike, and will inspect again once the water levels approach 17 feet. The lake level is currently less than 14 feet.
The South Florida Water Management District also has begun lowering water levels in canals, trying to move as much water as possible through flood control structures in preparation for the storm.

Urwerk's UR-210 was first introduced in 2012. Now, six year later Swiss watchmaker prepared a black platinum version of this impressive timepiece – the most exclusive version under the Urwerk UR-210.
The dial of the UR-210 has a power reserve indicator at 1 hour. On the other hand, at 11 o'clock a similar indication appears to have been placed, but it is an indicator that shows the efficiency of the turn over the last two hours. This complication, a world's first calculates the energy flow and the ratio between generated energy and released energy.
Are you comfortable, do you not move much? Then the indicator of the liquidation efficiency indicator will move inexorably to the red sector. When you are active the pointer will move to the green part so that more energy is generated than consumed. If the UR-210 shows that not enough energy is generated, the wearer can turn the voltage regulator on the back of the watch to full. The rotor then becomes sensitive to the smallest movement and converts it into energy.
This makes the UR-210 a fascinating watch for people who like non-everyday timepieces full of technical possibilities, conceived in a striking design. The sturdy (53.6 x 43.8) case is made of platinum and titanium with a black DLC coating and houses the UR-7.10 caliber with a power reserve of 39 hours.
Urwerk UR-210 Black Platinum is limited to 25 watches.

By: Tom Daykin, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, February 8, 2014
Jim Haertel was considering the financing options for expanding his tavern at downtown Milwaukee's former Pabst brewery.
His decision was made much easier when state officials quadrupled the value of a tax credit given to developers of historic preservation projects.
"We were on the fence," Haertel said. "And suddenly that tipped the scales toward definitely wanting to go for the credits."
He is among several owners of historic buildings who are tapping the increased tax credits, which are expected to cost state taxpayers millions of dollars. The new credit level took effect Jan. 31, following the 2013 approval by the Legislature and Gov. Scott Walker.
The new law raised the state income tax credit to 20% of the qualified remodeling costs of historic commercial buildings, doubling it from 10%. The Legislature passed the bill in October, just months after the credit was increased from 5%. The state credit supplements a federal program that provides tax credits for 20% of such costs.
The state tax credit's boost received bipartisan support. Advocates said the credit increase was needed to help Wisconsin compete with other states for investor funding of preservation projects, which are more costly than new construction. In return for the credits, developers follow federal rules on preservation remodeling techniques and materials.
According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, 31 states provide historic preservation tax credits. Most of those credits are in the 20% to 25% range for commercial restoration projects.
Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., which operates the state program, has seen increased interest from developers with the higher credit taking effect, said Mark Maley, the group's public information manager.
The higher credit may help attract national historic preservation development firms to Wisconsin, said Milwaukee Development Commissioner Rocky Marcoux.
It also could help bring to life commercial preservation projects that otherwise would have languished because of feasibility concerns, he said.
"It's a move in the right direction," Marcoux said.
That higher credit level could be especially valuable for smaller projects, said Matt Jarosz, an associate adjunct professor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Architecture and Urban Planning. He's organizing a March 28 workshop about the state and federal tax credits.
"In the past, small projects just weren't worth the complexity of the tax credit program," Jarosz said. "Moving to the 40% zone can start to make it possible."
Rebuilding history
Milwaukee historic developments under consideration include the possible conversion of the upper floors of a downtown building into market-rate apartments, Maley said.
The seven-story Posner Building, 152 W. Wisconsin Ave., features Mo's Irish Tavern on parts of the first and second floors, but is otherwise largely vacant.
Kyle Strigenz, co-owner of HKS Holdings LLC, which is considering the redevelopment plan, declined to comment, saying it was too early to discuss the possible project. The Milwaukee firm has done other historic preservation projects, including last year's conversion of the former JH Collectibles clothing factory into the 50-unit Junior House Lofts, 710 S. Third St.
Another proposal on downtown's west side would convert the Germania Building, 135 W. Wells St., into 78 apartments, along with 14,000 square feet of street-level commercial space. The developers, Endeavour Corp. and Vangard Group LLC, have declined to comment on that proposed project, which could combine tax credits for both historic preservation and affordable apartments.
At the Pritzlaff Hardware Co. complex, at W. St. Paul and N. Plankinton avenues, developer Ken Breunig is continuing his restoration project and plans to use the higher state tax credits. Portions of the buildings have been converted into offices and banquet rooms, and Breunig is proceeding this year with plans to restore additional space for commercial use.
"It has definitely helped make the numbers work," Breunig said.
At the former Pabst complex, now known as The Brewery, Chicago-based Blue Ribbon Management LLC hopes to begin work this spring on converting the former Pabst bottling house into apartments marketed to international students at Marquette University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and other area colleges.
The increased state tax credits "will be a great help" in financing that development, along with plans to convert a nearby former church into commercial space, said Tom Gehl, Blue Ribbon Management chief executive officer.
Haertel is adding around 6,000 square feet of banquet space at the former Pabst brewery's visitors center and offices, known as Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery, 901 W. Juneau Ave.
Best Place includes a gift shop, Blue Ribbon Hall banquet room and The Little Tavern on The Hill. The additional banquet space, converted from an 1880 office building, will provide an additional room for wedding receptions and other events.
Haertel plans to spend around $750,000, with around $500,000 qualifying for the preservation credits. Combining the state and federal programs would raise around $200,000 in tax credits, which Haertel plans to use to reduce his income tax bill.
A U.S. Small Business Administration loan through First Bank Financial Centre is providing $670,000 for the project, with Haertel providing around $100,000 in equity cash. He plans to begin the work in March, and have the banquet room completed by July.
Cost to taxpayers
Elsewhere in Wisconsin, other projects tapping the higher credits include separate plans to convert a former Manitowoc factory and a former Madison seminary into apartments.
Oregon, Wis.-based Gorman & Co. is pursuing the Madison project, which would create 87 apartments at the Bishop O'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center. The additional tax credits help attract more equity cash because developers have the option of selling them to banks and other investors, said company President Gary Gorman.
"Some of our projects in the pipeline may be more feasible now," said Gorman, whose firm's historic redevelopments include the Brew House Inn and Suites at The Brewery, at 1215 N. 10th St.
Another project that was already in the works — but now will be easier to finance — is the proposed redevelopment of a former Mirro Co. factory in Manitowoc into 40 apartments, an $8 million project known as Artists Lofts. Robert Lemke and Todd Hutchison, who operate Milwaukee-based Wisconsin Redevelopment LLC, are the developers.
The higher credits "really enhance the viability of these projects," said Lemke. The firm's other projects include helping with the planned restoration of a historic Wauwatosa building into a charter school.
The higher credit comes at a cost for state taxpayers.
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimated the credit will cost taxpayers $8.6 million over the next two years, based on the level of past use by developers of the credit when it was at the 5% level.
The agency also said quadrupling the credit's value could result in a significantly higher cost to the state if developers increase their use of the program.
Supporters say the higher cost amounts to an investment that creates jobs and higher tax revenues. Lemke also cites another benefit.
"We're saving these buildings for future generations," he said.

If you have a large number of low-value items in Path of Exile that need to be sold, looking up the current price for every single one of them can get quite tedious, and it takes up a lot of your time.
As a solution, you can try out Pricer, an open-source application that automatically grabs the current average price whenever you right-click an item. It can rely on several sources and it is very simple to use.
Once you have launched the application, you need to select your preferred league and one of the supported sources, then download the price data and run the service. What's more, you can also lower the generated price by a certain percentage.
It is worth noting that, when using Poe.ovh, you also have the option of choosing between mean and median prices. This feature is not available when using Poe.ninja. As a fallback, the program can use PoePrices, though this option can be disabled.
After setting everything up, the application will output a buyout note with the average price whenever you right-click an item in a premium tab or any other tab. The action should be pretty much instant, so you will not be made to wait.
The program should be able to price virtually any item in the game, including uniques, gems, maps, divination cards, maps, currency, prophecies, essences, magic and rare items.
Pricer Crack sports a minimalistic and well-designed user interface, but it is worth noting that it cannot be minimized or sent to the tray area. On the whole, however, this is an impressive utility that, as a Path of Exile player, can save you a lot of time and effort, enabling you to sell items much more efficiently.

Research Handbook on Women in International Management
Edited by Kate Hutchings and Snejina Michailova
Chapter 10: Hard choices: Hungarian female managers abroad
Beáta Nagy and Henriett Primecz
Despite 40 years of socialist power in Central and Eastern Europe, during which the importance of gender equality was proclaimed, female and male careers have never been equal in Hungary. All Soviet bloc countries underwent a similar development after the Second World War and researchers call it the state socialist women's emancipation project (Fodor, 2004). Driven by political (ideological), socialist, Marxist feminism (Calás and Smircich, 1996; 2006) and economic initiatives, women were very much the focus of economic policy and enjoyed particular attention and support from the communist state. According to Gal and Kligman (2000, p. 5) the socialist gender order was characterised by five main features: efforts were made to erase gender differences; women were treated as atomised people depending on the state; women as a corporate category were targeted by state policies; women's full-time employment was dictated by the state; and women's dependence on fathers/husbands was replaced by dependence on the state. More or less the same story was typical for each socialist country, as the women's emancipation project was a blueprint of the Soviet model. The outcomes have been controversial, and the researchers themselves attach different significance to this period (1945-90). Gal and Kligman (2000) identified a significant backlash to women's emancipation in every post-socialist country after the change of regimes, whereas Fodor (2004) had a more positive view of women's changing position in the same period, because a high proportion of women entered both employment and managerial positions.

Comment now on Northleach with Eastington Neighbourhood Plan!
Release date: 7 September 2018
Northleach with Eastington Town Council has submitted a Neighbourhood Development Plan to Cotswold District Council. The plan covers all of Northleach with Eastington Parish. The Plan has now been published in the public domain and anyone wishing to comment must do so by 5 pm on 17 October. Subsequently, the Plan will be examined independently to ensure that it meets the conditions laid out in the Localism Act and other relevant regulations.
Anyone can see the plan online on our CDC website, or review a hard copy at at the Northleach with Eastington Town Council Offices, Westwoods Centre, Bassett Road, Northleach, GL54 3QJ (Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 11am) or at Cotswold District Council's office at Trinity Road, Cirencester (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).
Commenting on the Plan, Steering Group Chair, Chris Hancock says:
"Developing a Neighbourhood Plan in a small but important rural parish in the middle of the AONB is a challenging task in seeking to balance the need for development with the preservation of the environment and built heritage. Four years of work have however produced a plan for consultation which we believe will deliver those things most needed - provision for increased parking and improvements to the town centre, the expansion and improvement of educational facilities, a 'green ring' around the town and allocation of green space as well as a detailed Design Statement to assist in the future protection of our environment."
Public comments will be taken into account by the independent examiner in determining whether the Plan meets the legal requirements.
