Fire costs the UK economy an estimated £3.5 billion per year. With glass becoming an ever more dominant material in the built environment, manufacturer Pilkington, has released a new report – The Burning Issue – to ask if the glazing industry and its clients are doing enough to make buildings safe by design.
One trend that has defined the aesthetics of today's built environment is the emergence of glass as one of the most commonly used building materials.
In everything from commercial office space and shops to residential and even functional industrial buildings, glass is increasingly being deployed to partition spaces where previously concrete, bricks and mortar or plasterboard might have been used.
This places great importance on the ability of glass to stand up to and prevent the spread of fire through different areas of a building. If we are to preserve the safety of our buildings and those who use them, it's essential that glazing design and installation keeps pace with the growing demand for glass as a functional construction component.
Technology has progressed rapidly in recent years in terms of the ability of glazing to stand up to fire for extended periods of time. At the same time, the use of larger pane sizes has been tested and approved for use in sensitive settings, and those panes can deliver high levels of clarity, while maintaining the required safety levels.
But while these developments have provided architects and interior designers with many more options for creating bright, airy spaces, they have also created challenges. How does the industry ensure the consistent quality of fire-resistant glazing across the market? How do we guarantee that the appropriate products are always used in the right settings? Are current building regulations fit for purpose when applied to the latest fire-resistant glazing technology?
These are the questions we address in our new report, which includes contributions from the Glass and Glazing Federation and specialist installer, Wrightstyle.
Regulation – is it time for an overhaul?
In his contribution to the report, Steve Rice, director of technical affairs at the Glass and Glazing Federation focuses on the suitability of the regulations contained in Approved Document B (AD B). He comments:
The primary focus of AD B is to save lives and, in that aim, it has clearly been a success. In 1981 there were 967 deaths resulting from building fires, compared with 256 in 2015. This is a steady decline of 20 deaths per year.
However, the record is less encouraging when we look at fire-related property and business losses. While the number of fires has fallen, average loss per fire has risen significantly and, as a result, the evidence suggests that there has been little reduction in the overall cost to the economy.
There is recognition in the industry that AD B needs to be improved to bring it more in step with current practice in building design, construction and product supply.
However, it's vital that what emerges stays true to the core principles of fire separation and compartmentation.
The focus can now no longer be solely on preventing fatalities, but must be on the wider risks fire presents in modern buildings, both to property and people, and this is particularly relevant to the application of glass.
Currently, the emphasis of AD B is on getting people out of a building before conditions become unsafe and structural stability is threatened. AD B considers integrity performance – that is, ensuring the glass continued to present a physical barrier – to be sufficient. As a result, emphasis on thermal insulation – the ability of the glass to prevent the transfer of radiant heat from one space to another – has been minimal.
Better property protection and higher levels of assured safety for individuals in more complex modern buildings needs to go beyond this. It will require a greater use of insulation and longer protection times.
Fire-resistant glass products have been developed to suit a wide range of applications, delivering higher levels of integrity and insulation, and have achieved proven performance based on extensive testing. The guidance should better recognise these advances.
Keeping pace with technology
The developments in technology have been significant across the board and there is now more product choice and greater levels of performance to exploit.
This is particularly illustrated by high-performing clear, laminated integrity glass products, that can also provide a good level of insulation. For example, it is now possible to specify these products with 30 minutes' integrity and 15 minutes' thermal insulation.
Regulations need to keep in touch with what they regulate. And, despite its success, AD B is somewhat lagging behind. A makeover is required but, in the name of fire safety, the regulations must maintain what is good and build on it to better reflect modern practices and technologies.
Addressing the full costs of fire
Also contributing to the report, Tim Kempster, managing director of Wrightstyle, echoed Steve Rice's view that the current way of assessing the risks presented by fire is often not fit for purpose. Tim Kempster writes:
Protecting a building and its occupants against fire starts on the drawing board, so hazards are considered and mitigated from the word go.
In Tim's view, compliance with fire regulations is not sufficient. They deal only with protecting human safety and, while this is clearly by far the most important concern, it is by no means the only one.
All fires are disruptive and often they can shut down businesses, sometimes temporarily and sometimes permanently. With this in mind, it's essential that the risk assessment takes into account more than just regulatory compliance.
Designers and specifiers of fire-rated glass need to ask questions like: 'if fire does happen, can we quickly move manufacturing elsewhere?' and 'if we lose data on-site, is all that business-critical information also held elsewhere?'. If these things aren't possible, the potential impacts must be taken into account when specifying the glass.
Modern glazing systems can play a central role in the resulting mitigation strategy by providing complete protection against radiant heat– the means by which fire spreads through a building. It can be used as curtain walling, internal doors, floors or fire screens – creating a barrier for up to three hours, giving more than enough time for a safe evacuation and for emergency services to contain the blaze effectively, minimising losses.
Of course, before any glazing system can be used in this way, it is critical that it is tested and certified to local or national standards to demonstrate its suitability.
This applies not only to the glass, but also to the specific framing system being used and the way the two work as a system in the specific arrangement intended.
That means insisting on comprehensive fire test certification that covers both glass and frames because, in a fire, if one fails, both fail, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
In speaking to leading experts in the field of fire-resistant glazing, it's clear there are some concerns both over the current standards designers and specifiers are legally required to meet, and over the approach to risk assessment taken by some building owners, their advisors and fire engineers.
The industry has achieved great success in reducing the number of deaths caused by fires in buildings, and now the focus needs to be on protecting the economy against the financial losses that it continues to cause.

Four people found dead in a South Carolina home Sunday evening were killed in an apparent murder-suicide, local authorities said.
Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher identified the victims in a statement as 26-year-old Marissa Hope Reynoso and two of her children, 4-year-old Elijah Chavez and 1-year-old Ezra Chavez. Also dead was 25-year-old Jorge Luis Chavez, who's believed to be the father of the two children.
The coroner said the bodies were found at around 8 p.m. Sunday.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Office initially said that Jorge Luis Chavez was a person of interest in the murders and circulated a photo of him on social media. Early Monday, however, the sheriff's office said the deaths were likely a murder-suicide and they were no longer searching for Chavez.
Fisher said Reynoso had an older child who wasn't at the home at the time. The investigation is ongoing.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Students hear how to stop bullying their body
March 1, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Students had the opportunity to eat healthy food and hear about how to 'Stop Bullying Your Body' Tuesday night in the Maucker Union Old Central Ballroom. The UNI Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness (BIEDA) organization supported the event. The speaker was Jessica Setnick, a dietitian and eating disorders expert from Dallas, Texas.
Setnick began her speech by bringing everyone in the audience back to a time in life where everything was seemingly carefree.
"I feel like there was a time in our lives when life was just more loose, more easy, more fun, and we didn't get so stressed out about everything. We weren't always in competition," Setnick said. "When we looked in the mirror, it wasn't like were always trying to check and see what was wrong."
Setnick continuously brought the innocence and playfulness of childhood into her speech to help show how the pressures of adulthood can take a toll on mental health. Setnick also touched on major topics such as depression, anxiety, stress and the unrealistic expectations of society.
According to Setnick, hurtful or degrading words can do a lot of damage, because those words can mentally stick with someone for a long time.
Setnick's presentation was not only full of valuable information, but also had lots of humorous visual aids and interactive questions. One of Setnick's images in her presentation was of a birthday card that showed a baby with thought bubbles surrounding it, labeling the baby's body with 'fleshy arms', 'pudgy thighs' and 'saggy chest'. Setnick used this image as a way to explain how society puts negative labels on everyone, even when it is normal to have those characteristics.
"What we've been told about our bodies can have a huge effect on how we feel about ourselves," Setnick said. "Those things can stick, even if many years later, they don't apply at all. It can be really hard to shake that stuff off."
Setnick also emphasized that her presentation was for anyone, not just women.
"It is so important to me that people stop thinking of body image issues as any kind of certain specific type of person, demographic, size, race or gender," Setnick said.
Setnick ended her presentation with a message about acceptance, taking care of one's body, and ending the war on one's body.
"If you could get really comfortable with your own insecurities, then you don't have to bully other people, or your own body," Setnick said with a smile. "Being mean to yourself and saying those mean things that you would never let anyone else say to you or you would never say to someone else, is really still you walking around being victimized."
One student who attended Setnick's presentation was Carissa Rainey, a senior health promotion major.
"I personally grasped a lot from this presentation. I don't have an eating disorder myself; however, I feel that it is normal, especially in society today, to occasionally have negative thoughts about our own bodies," Rainey said. "This presentation provided me with the tools in order to distinguish a bad thought from a good thought, and how to think more positively about ourselves and how to help others as well."
Another student who went to the presentation was Megan Steim, a junior psychology major and a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. Steim was asked by Joan Thompson, who works for Student Wellness Services, to help sponsor the event since she is the vice president of community relations in the sorority.
"I know for me personally, growing up I didn't have the best body image, so it's great to hear other people's stories on them having the same issues because when you go through it yourself, you don't think that anyone else goes through the same thing," Steim said. "I liked hearing how Jessica specifically overcame her problems, and I liked the way she talked about how we should be talking about our bodies from now on, so I definitely took a lot from it."
Samantha Davis, a criminology major at UNI, enjoyed the presentation not only because of the positive message it projected, but also because of Setnick.
"What I really loved about the entire thing was Jessica herself. She was so energetic, so positive and her analogies were spot on," Davis said. "She was funny and creative, and she really kept the attention of the room. I loved a lot of the points she gave me, and it made me think differently about the little voice in my head and different things that are brought up in society. It gave me a whole new perspective."
Setnick hoped that her presentation would encourage those with eating disorders or other varieties of body image issues to get help.
"People with eating disorders get help sometimes and that's nice, but there's a lot of people with eating disorders that don't get any help, and there's a lot of people that don't even realize that they have an eating disorder," Setnick said. "So, I have to get out into the community and find people where they are and say, 'if this is a problem for you, let's fix it.'"

They've got Vikings, fjords and a fundamental social safety net – and now the coveted title of happiest country in the world.
Norway has been announced the winner in an annual report by the United Nations.
It saw off competition from Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland for a photo finish.
Sadly, the UK was not even in the race. We came in at 19th, behind Ireland which was 15th, and sandwiched between Luxembourg and Chile.
So that's something else for us to feel miserable about.
All of the top four countries rank highly on caring, freedom, generosity, honesty, health, income and good governance, the UN said in their World Happiness Report 2017.
The report is produced to focus on wellbeing as the key goal of public policy, rather than simple economic growth.
'It is sometimes said that Norway achieves and maintains its high happiness not because of its oil wealth, but in spite of it,' the report's authors said.
'By choosing to produce its oil slowly, and investing the proceeds for the future rather than spending them in the present, Norway has insulated itself from the boom and bust cycle of many other resource-rich economies.'
Like us, the United States also failed to make the Top Ten.
In 2007, it ranked third among the OECD countries but ten years later it is only at 14.
Rising inequality, drug and alcohol problems and a sense of instability have all added to America's woes which come mainly from social rather than economic problems.
To give an example, the report said: 'In one well-known experiment, stamped and addressed envelopes were dropped in public areas (sidewalks, shopping malls, phone booths), to see whether people pick them up and put them in a mailbox. This is a measure of helping behavior among strangers.
'A recent study showed that the extent of helping behavior by US residents declined sharply between 2001 and 2011, but this was not true for Canadian residents.'
The results of the survey
To obtain their rankings, more than 1,000 people in each country were asked this question:
'Imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top.
'The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?'
The number averaged out gives a sense of people's general satisfaction.
Norway's was 7.54 while the score for Central African Republic was 2.69.
The most and least happy countries
- Norway
- Denmark
- Iceland
- Switzerland
- Finland
- Netherlands
- Canada
- New Zealand

Bitcoins were launched in 2009. Though the concept is not new but many people don't understand what bitcoins are and how bitcoins work. Bitcoins are defined as a type of virtual currency, introduced to life through the Internet.
What are bitcoins?
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars or euros – they're produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.
There comes two terms bitcoins and Bitcoins, they both look similar bit comes with slight difference that is the capitalization of first letter. Bitcoin refers to the software or network while bitcoin refers to the digital currency.
Bitcoin is the first and easily the most popular cryptocurrency, or currency that uses to control its creation, administration and security.
What makes it different from normal currencies?
•bitcoin's most important characteristic is that it is decentralized. No single institution controls the bitcoin network.
•Bitcoin uses P2P technology without a central authority.
•Bitcoin is primarily digital.
•Bitcoin has a maximum 21 million limit.
•Bitcoin has limited acceptance.
•A Bitcoin transaction can take 10 minutes to confirm.
•Bitcoin balances are not insured.
Who developed the idea of bitcoins?
The idea of bitcoin was given by Satoshi Nakamoto in May 2008. Bitcoin is peer-to- peer currency and runs on a system that allows you to send and receive bitcoins without the need of a third-party.
How bitcoin works?
•The first thing you need to do as a new user is install a digital wallet on your computer or mobile device.
•This wallet is simply a free, open-source software program that will generate your first and subsequent Bitcoin addresses.
•There are three types of wallets – a software wallet (installed on your computer), a mobile wallet (which resides on your mobile device) or a Web wallet (located on the website of a service provider that hosts bitcoins).
•Bitcoin uses public key encryption techniques for security. This means that when a new Bitcoin address is
created, a cryptographic key pair consisting of a public key and private key – which are essentially unique, long strings of letters and numbers – is generated.
•Each address has its own Bitcoins balance, so all you need to do is acquire several Bitcoins that will be held at one of the addresses in your wallet. You can acquire Bitcoins through a number of ways – by buying them from a Bitcoin currency exchange such as Mt. Gox or Bitstamp, or through a service like BitInstant that enables fund transfers between Bitcoin exchanges and supports various payment mechanisms.
•All Bitcoin transactions are stored publicly and permanently on the Bitcoin network, which means that the balance and transactions of any Bitcoin address are visible to anyone. Experts therefore recommend that Bitcoin owners create a new address for each transaction as a means of ensuring privacy and enhancing security.
•Once you have created a Bitcoin address and have acquired Bitcoins, you can use them for an online transaction with a company that accepts Bitcoins as a payment mode. The company will send you the Bitcoin address to which you can send your Bitcoin payment. You direct the payment to that address; while the transaction takes place within seconds, verification can take 10 minutes or longer.
•All Bitcoin transactions, without exception, are included in a shared public transaction log known as a "block chain". This is to confirm that the party spending the Bitcoins really owns them, and to prevent fraud and double-spending.
Conclusion: Bitcoin evolution over the next few years will determine whether this leading cryptocurrency will become an integral part of the global financial system, or whether it is destined to remain a niche player. Bitcoin has made significant progress in its adoption and usage since it was unveiled in 2009.
Like Bitcoin is the future technology, content and video willplay around in digital world in coming years. For most powerful content syndication and social media management click here: www.megarray.com/in and check the reality.

I found myself nodding my head in agreement when I read this articulate post in Have Your Say about visiting hours in our local hospitals.
Is RIPAS Hospital a Zoo or the Gadong Mall? – By Depressed Patient
I became deeply depressed when I was admitted on 2nd April. But my condition got worse right up to the time I was discharged on 15th April 2009.
No one is keen to be hospitalized. But in RIPAS you would be doubly so. Why? Because of the unbearable NOISE in the ward. The public here generally neglect to observe the visiting hour rule and is turning the hospital into a zoo or The Mall Gadong. Why I say this? Because it is a fact and there have been so many complaints. Minister, please take note.
My admission in the hospital should have given me a quiet moment to relax my mind but it turned to be otherwise. Nurses tried a couple times to tell the visitors, who should not have been there in the first place, to be quieter but people ignored them. Why not CEO RIPAS really be strict and impose the visiting time rules like in other countries? I know that these rules are already posted on wall in each ward. But who cares? It does not make a difference. NO. None at all! So I think it is time to post professional security guards.
Still visitors continue to laugh at all hours and coming into the ward any time like in a coffee shop ignoring the patient's condition in the ward. They just don't care. They just care only about their family and themselves.
But it is never too late. Please think, people are admitted not because they want to be admitted. They need to relax and recover in order to be cured. People here just know how to say bad things and become rude and violent if they are told about the rules. So they just ignore the rules. And they tend to be arrogant and aggressive. But the hospital staff does their work for your country and for the patient and cannot expect to do battle with this rude and ignorant lot who come in at all hours of the day and night. Where is the discipline? It should be strictly imposed. And I know this post will be criticized by some people.
BUT if they know how I felt and suffered they would understand. And I would say to this inconsiderate people, behave and obey the rules and give some thought to others. So I don't care about the criticism. I tell the truth and what patients around me also said.
One particular experience came to mind immediately which happened some months ago when I took daughter number 1 to the emergency room and she was put in the day ward near A&E for observation. There was a patient in the same ward who had an entire entourage of family members with her, from her children and their spouses to her grand-children, and maybe even her great grand-children.
Galpren bulih tah tu?
For those who've been to the day-ward, you'll know that its quite small and cramped with three beds only. This group was hogging the entire ward and literally having a picnic. They were chit-chatting at the top of their voices while the kids were running around wreaking havoc. Just as we thought the place was getting really packed, MORE relatives walked in complete with CRYING INFANT! This family definitely scores A1 for filial piety. Thats all I can say.
Picnic time!
It seems our people need to learn to have a bit more empathy for other patients in the same ward as their loved ones. Oh, and we need to be slightly more attentive to signs posted on the walls and doors of hospital wards. They're there for a reason.

Therapy for Depression, Anxiety & Other Mood Disorders
Mood disorders generally fall into three categories:
1. Mood disorders that are not due to a physiological or general medical condition or do not occur with gross delusions or hallucinations.
2. Mood disorders that are substance induced.
3. Mood disorders associated with severe specifiers such as catatonia or psychosis.
Here at Side By Side Counseling we have dealt mostly with substance induced mood disorders and mood disorders that are made worse by the use of substances. Most people who have a substance abuse disorder, whether they know it or not, have a coexisting disorder like depression or anxiety. If a client is aware of a coexisting disorder, we work very closely with their medical doctor to coordinate treatment and to mitigate or remove as many symptoms as possible. If a client is not aware of a coexisting disorder and a coexisting disorder is diagnosed, we will work closely with the client to choose a good medical doctor who will coordinate treatment on a regular basis. The main goal here is to serve the client's multiple needs and reach the best therapeutic result possible. The use of cognitive emotional behavioral therapy here at Side By Side has been very effective by itself and even more so when working with a medical doctor because the client receives more thorough and consistent treatment. The time period of that treatment is going to vary from client to client. Typically people with substance abuse/addiction disorders along with a coexisting disorder will be in treatment for several months to a year or more. Some of the benefits of cognitive emotional behavioral therapy include improved self esteem and overall quality of life, better communication skills, enhanced stress or anger management, and other lifestyle coping skills. This is done by helping clients identify and uncover unconscious determinants of behavior, explore and uncover cognitive distortions and learn to be more conscious and to use more rational thinking. Desensitization skills can be used to deal with irrational fears. Fundamentally clients learn to do things differently and more appropriate to their needs by making healthier choices instead of reacting. The amount of techniques and skills that can be learned from a good counselor/therapist who is proficient at cognitive behavioral emotional therapy is tremendous.
I have been using these skills for over 27 years, and I have felt privileged to be a part of helping people change their lives for the better. We offer very professional and highly confidential services in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Should you suffer from any kind of anxiety, depression or mood disorder, whether it is substance abuse related or not, please feel free to give us a call and set up a free consult to determine whether treatment here at Side By Side is something you would like to investigate further. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you in whatever capacity you might need. Professional help can make sure that you do not waste months or years in misery, have a severely diminished capacity to enjoy life or remain stuck in an extremely poor quality of life. We will work with you to help you reach the quality of life you deserve. We will provide that treatment ourselves and/or coordinate that treatment with other health professionals, social workers or other professionals to ensure that you don't just endure life, but that you enjoy it.

Whether you're a casual internet user, or the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, the influence of social media on your daily life is somewhat similar: you see its usefulness and dabble in it in order to keep up with your peers. But if you're like the vast majority of people who fall somewhere in between those two identities, you realize that when it comes to things like business and social media, the stakes are much higher.
The level of success and the pace by which a business grows in today's economy is very largely affected by its establishment on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google. So this brings on the natural question: what is the difference between these four social media sites, and how do they apply to my business?
This infographic, "Leveraging Social Media to Showcase Your Expertise", was produced by Zintro, a business network that connects clients with experts in a variety of business area, to respond to this looming question. It not only provides statistical differences among the four social media sites, but also information about how each site applies to business needs.

Evening Standard on Endless Forms
"If music could be factory-produced, we would no doubt be flooded with new compositions from China. We aren't, but in coming years we will hear more, and judging by last night's premiere of his Endless Forms, we will also be hearing more of Fung Lam.
Born in Hong Kong in 1979, Lam was trained here, but Endless Forms makes no effort to blend East and West. Its opening, unfolding at medium tempo and volume and with brief interplay between harp and flute, recalls Debussy. Later, the slow harmonies and tolling chimes bring Arvo Pärt to mind. Yet Lam, working with a carefully constructed minimum of material, shapes his musical world with dreamy individuality."
The Independent on Endless Forms
"... this nine-minute piece ... showed that this 33-year-old Hong Kong-born composer has a distinctive voice. Needing no special pleading, it trod an assured path through a conventionally tonal landscape, with bright woodwind phrases penetrating gentle washes of colour, and string textures of seductive warmth and transparency. For much of its length it felt more like the suggestion of lyricism than the thing itself, but its climax had a Mahlerian lusciousness ..."
Classical Source on Endless Forms
"The 14-minute work opens with zigzagging chromatic ascents and descents – its musical DNA – tracing a journey from darkness to light. The material unfurls gently, fragile and somewhat sombre in character. The secondary theme is most attractive, anxious strings leading to a beautiful melody over oscillating woodwind before the piece concluded with chiming bells resonating through the Royal Albert Hall's spacious acoustic."
South China Morning Post on Illumination
"It's a slowly morphing, 12-minute piece that, in most young composers' hands, would sound as if it was wandering around a room with no exit, but Lam shows an instinctive feel for when to nudge things along. Using minimal harmonic and melodic material, the elemental shifts came right on cue to sustain attention."
CASHFLOW, Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong on Inner Light - Homage to Mark Rothko
"... Lam's Inner Light, however, provides an added dimension of the expression of emotions from a symphonic wind orchestra ... Though barely noticeable, the layers of tone colours create huge tensions, while the piano contribution represents the suppressed and struggled character throughout the piece … Unlike most works for symphonic wind orchestra, Inner Light expresses the most sophisticated emotion which is the pressure that inescapably originates from the trivialities of modern life ... Inner Light illustrated the fact that a symphonic wind orchestra can express inner and deep emotions and is not restricted to merely creating sensational and superficial sounds and emotions."
Asian Music Festival Final Report, Chou Wen-Chung, composer, on Inner Light - Homage to Mark Rothko
"There were some excellent scores, including ... Inner Light by Fung Lam ... (a) thoughtful and effective piece ..."
The Independent on Caged
"Fung Lam used a backing track that sounded like crowds in a subway station in pursuit of his successful evocation of claustrophobia, which had the cello alternating a nagging main idea with dreamlike withdrawals."
Sydney Morning Herald on Amitabha
"Fung Lam's Amitabha was a still pentatonic meditation, like a morning breeze over quiet water."

By Meredith Lefley, Senior Marketing Coordinator
West Cook, the industrial market just south and east of O'Hare Airport totaling over 100 msf, continues to provide several attractive features to both investors and tenants due to its proximity to O'Hare, access to major expressways, and a strong labor force. A number of speculative projects recently delivered in West Cook, increasing investor confidence and tenant demand for this area.
Tenant activity remains strong in new construction buildings. Traditionally, tenants look at 100,000-150,000 sf buildings on the high-end; however, some groups are testing the market within the 300,000-500,000 sf range. Due to these larger prospects, investors are hesitant to divide large spec buildings until deals are made.
We anticipate that West Cook will see a decline in vacancy over the year and investors will start to push rents as tenant demand remains steady.
Matt Cowie offers further insight on West Cook.
Q: If I am an investor or developer, which building features are important to current tenants in the market?
Matt: Parking has become a major factor in a tenant's requirement. Not just trailer parking, but box truck, sprinter vans, and car parking. Clear height remains an important factor as many groups expanding or coming into West Cook for the first time are looking for 30' clear or higher.
Q: How could potential changes to the popular Class 6, 8, and 9 Property Tax Incentive Program affect West Cook?
Matt: In its current state the program helps investors redevelop distressed properties across Cook County. Implementation of the proposed changes would reduce the number of program applicants and restrict property owners and employers from hiring local contractors.
Q: I'm a user with an existing lease expiring in 18 months. If I'm considering a relocation, when should I start this process?
Matt: The relocation timeline varies on the specifics your business needs to effectively operate. It's important to start the process at least 12 months prior to your lease expiration date. This timeframe allows you opportunity to tour potential relocation options and request proposals to review terms. Keep in mind, a build-out completion can take up to six months due to permitting and construction.

Burma Superstar kitchen workers sue popular Bay Area chain
Current and former kitchen workers at Burma Superstar filed a lawsuit Thursday, alleging the popular Bay Area restaurant chain hasn't been fairly paying its employees.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs filed the lawsuit — which is seeking class-action status — in Alameda County Superior Court, alleging the restaurant chain stiffed workers on wages, overtime pay, breaks and sick leave.
"Burma Superstar kitchen workers work very hard to make the restaurants so successful," said William Navarrete, a former dishwasher and cook at three Burma Superstar restaurants. "We believe they did not pay us what we were owed."
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of three employees and around 100 "similarly situated" workers with the Legal Aid Society — Employment Law Center, Asian Law Caucus and Centro Legal de la Raza, is seeking unspecified back wages, attorney's fees, and other penalties.
These workers "have overcome cultural and language barriers to join together in bringing this case, not just for themselves, but also for workers who are too scared to step forward," said Palyn Hung Mitchell, an Asian Law Caucus attorney.
Burma Superstar, which operates restaurants in Alameda, Oakland and San Francisco, and is looking to open another location in the city's South of Market neighborhood, is a favorite Bay Area mini-chain.
The tea leaf and rainbow salads are among the restaurant's many offerings that keep the locations nearly always packed with customers. The restaurants are among those credited with a recent Bay Area boom in the once little known Burmese cuisine.
Managers at Burma Superstar did not immediately return phone calls Thursday.

This Sunday's (July 13) World Cup final has turned Rio into a world capital of sorts, if only for this weekend. The city is packed with fans from all over the world for the match between Germany and Argentina at 5 PM, and volunteers from the federal government will be on hand to give tips to visitors so that they enjoy the city and the World Cup atmosphere to the fullest.
Guiomar Porto, a 65-year-old volunteer working at the city's Santos Dumont Airport, suggests that, before everything, tourists need to visit Rio's tourist spots. "If you are arriving on Saturday or Sunday, I think the first thing you want to see is the Sugar Loaf, the Copacabana Fort... basically our classic attractions. The Christ the Redeemer is ready to receive with open arms," he says.
Guiomar also has transportation tips to those coming into the city. "I always suggests fans to take a taxi from the airport. They are the best means of transport for those unfamiliar with Rio. Afterwards tourists can ride the subway or the bus. No problem at all," she recommends.
Both on Saturday and on Sunday, the Atlântica Avenue in Copacabana will be closed to allow free passage for pedestrians going to the FIFA Fan Fest. According to the Rio City Government, the World Cup safety operation will employ 1,650 controllers from the city's Traffic Engineering Company and the City Guard. Volunteers suggest that tourists use the subway, where they can disembark near the Maracanã and the FIFA Fan Fest.
"For those going to the stadium the best option is the subway, since taxis and buses can only stop fairly far from the stadium," recommends Cleiton Carvalho da Silva, 21, who highlights that the stations surrounding the arena are within a 10 minute-walk from the entrance. According to the Rio subway system, the lines will operate at rush hour levels during the match, with the entire fleet deployed and extra trains positioned in strategic points.
Those with tickets for entry through gates A, B and C must disembark at the Maracanã station. The São Cristóvão station is the best option for those who will need to enter through gates E and F. Fans accessing the stadium through gate D should disembark at the São Francisco Xavier Station.
For those going to the FIFA Fan Fest to watch the match broadcasts or enjoy the shows on Saturday or Sunday, the closest stations for embarking and disembarking are the Cardeal Arcoverde and Siqueira Campos.
"We have volunteers in all major subway stations of Rio de Janeiro ready to provide information. If in doubt, feel free to ask us. We will know how to help. We are prepared," says volunteer Leonardo Carneiro, 18, who also commented that subway access will be free from 7 AM to 11 PM for ticket-bearing fans going to the Maracanã to watch the match.
According to the security operation for the World Cup, the bars in the surrounding areas of the Maracanã will be closed and access to the subway stations will be restricted. The Secretariat of Public Security of Rio de Janeiro will employ about 26,000 police officers from the State, Civil, Federal and Federal Highway Police forces, plus troops from the National Public Safety Force and the Armed Forces (who also participate in the scheme).
Since the closing ceremony starts at 2.20 PM, the recommendation from the volunteers is for fans to arrive as early as possible. "It is best to arrive around 12 PM or 1 PM on Sunday, before the closing ceremony, because the flow of people will be quieter at these times and the fans will have time to take pictures without having to do anything in a rush," says Cleiton.
FIFA Fan Fest
In Copacabana, due to the broadcast of matches at the FIFA Fan Fest during the weekend, the Atlântica Avenue will be closed as of 7 am on Saturday and on Sunday, being repurposed as a leisure area during closure times. "I recommend enjoying the beach, which is beautiful, and enjoying the party just as much, always acting responsible and safe," says Cleiton.
The FIFA Fan Fest runs from 11 am to 11 pm on Copacabana Beach. Admission is free, and fans can follow the closing ceremony and the final match in a 150-square-metre screen. The fun is guaranteed with performances by samba schools Acadêmicos do Salgueiro and Unidos da Tijuca.

become a friendgeography
Maps provide a good starting point when we ask how old something might be. Is it shown on an official map, and what date is the map? In the UK our Ordnance Survey maps are excellent, and the Nine Standards are shown on the First Edition of the 6 inch maps of Westmorland, published in 1862, and as fieldwork dates from 1858 that provides our first firm date for the existence of the cairns.
Thomas Hodgson's 1828 Map of Westmorland also shows them, and we can see that they lie close to the disputed lands claimed by both Westmorland and North Riding Yorkshire. This county boundary is still disputed, as the two township markers overlap by a good distance beside the Tailbrigg road from Nateby to Reeth. Hodgson also gives the correct local names in several places where the OS map is in error.
Cary's 1794 and 1787 New and Correct Atlas maps of Cumberland, Westmorland, Yorkshire and Durham both show the Nine Standards, though they are not shown on his 1789 map of the same areas.
However the earliest official map that shows the cairns is the Thomas Jefferys 1770 Historic Map of Westmorland. Jefferys produced what are the first detailed and correct maps of the individual counties (the 1771 map of Yorkshire also shows Nine Standards) as part of a national mapping competition which absorbed all his time and money, eventually bankrupting him. His maps are the first recognisably modern depictions of our area at a relatively large scale, correct in proportions and distances, and with surprisingly few errors.
In contrast, the sketch map of Swaledale dated 1738 (below) but probably based on a much earlier estate or manorial map is quite different. It shows the catchment boundary of Upper Swaledale and includes Lord Wharton's lead mines in the lower valley. It shows the Nine Standards as a waypoint on the perambulation around the watershed, but this is more a working diagram than an accurately proportioned map, and the symbols used to indicate settlements closely resemble those used by Christopher Saxton for his First Atlas of County Maps 1576-79. Upper Swaledale parchment by kind permission of Northallerton NYCRO Collection, YRO MIC 2062 327 1738
So we know from these maps that the Nine Standards have been there on Nine Standards Rigg for at least 273 years. However, maps of the 17th and 16th centuries that predate Jefferys are mostly small scale maps of very large areas, too large to depict all the tiny local features. Major rivers, some - but not all - towns, significant boundaries such as Hollow Mill Cross on Tailbrigg, and important passes like Stainmore, are shown, along with important castles and forests. The content depends on the purpose of the map, many being drawn for military or strategic purposes. The earliest of these is the so-called Gough map, named after the antiquarian Richard Gough who had found it. Approximately dated to 1340 it is the first known map of the British mainland, and has astonishing detail (there is an interactive online version; see Belfast University project website). "Steynmore" is shown, and the major rivers, but not the Nine Standards! But while there are no detailed pre-Jefferys maps, written documents that list place names have survived from earlier periods.
Richard Gough map in "British Topography" 1780 edition; original in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. Also shows Appleby and Brough (but not KS though it undoubtedly existed then!)

Nature: West Philladelphia Landscape Project
The West Philadelphia Landscape Project is an action research program integrating research, teaching, and community service. Design and construction of community landscape projects is one of the most recent projects.
Nature: West Philladelphia Landscape Project
Anne Whiston Spirn was a thesis advisor to me in graduate school, and this project that brought middle school students out into their cities to explore nature has always stuck with me:
"The West Philadelphia Landscape Project is an action research program integrating research, teaching, and community service. Faculty and students in Penn's Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning work with community organizations, neighborhood groups, teachers and students in public schools on a wide range of activities. Design and construction of community landscape projects, maintenance of a digital database, devising stormwater management strategies, and curriculum enrichment for an inner-city junior high school are examples of recent projects.
The WPLP has been featured in newspaper articles, national public radio programs, national and international conferences, and professional journals. The goals of the project include development of strategic landscape plans to enhance environmental quality, implementation of landscape improvements to stimulate community development, and mutual strengthening of secondary public school curriculum and undergraduate and professional education at Penn."
The creation of community gardens as a way of bringing people together and teaching students and others about the natural fabric underlying their cities was, to my mind, a very repeatable example of adding vibrancy to cities.

I'm no fan of NASA's flying space bus, but last night's after hours takeoff was impossibly cool.
The launching pad was once a plain concrete slab. The heat of a launch is so intense, the cement was always ruined and had to be broken up and replaced each time. So some bright spark came up with the idea of launching from the center of a huge pool of water. The result is this ultra cool cloud of instant roiling steam. Double coolness after dark.
My source for that story is Some Guy At Work, so take it or leave it.
As if anyone needed more proof that Bill Gates is a complete dick, can you believe dude looked at his squintillions and decided he wanted to spend it on the 20th Century's Sacred Venereal Disease? Was there ever a bigger waste of human capital than AIDS? And I mean research and prevention efforts, not the diseased people themselves. We don't make holy martyrs out of people who catch themselves a dose of the clap, do we? No. We do not.
Think of it…he could've funded his own space program! It's almost
thirty forty years after the first moon landing, and we don't yet have a permanent base on the mooon. That's such a goddamned shame. He could've made it happen and named it after himself and gone to visit and had a permanent suite on the top floor and everything.
Rich people are so stupid. They're like poor people, but with money.
Sunny in Providence this morning.

Is it possible to just say no to volatility?
Equity investments as an asset class have historically produced the greatest returns over time, but the process is often stressful for investors and their financial advisors. Could a simple tactic allow investors to "just say no" to volatility?
Stock market volatility has been back in the news with the first three quarters of 2015 reporting over 50 days with 1%+ days—days when the market moved more than 1% up or down. That compares to 38 days of 1%+ moves per year in 2014 and 2013, and, according to Ed Easterling of Crestmont Research, may be the leading edge of a new onset of volatility in the financial markets.
Back in January 2015, Crestmont Research published an informative chart (Exhibit 1) showing the market's tendency over time to cycle between low- and high-volatility periods. When volatility falls below the historical average of four 1% moves in a month, high volatility tends to follow. "If history is again a guide, a surge to high volatility may not be far away," Easterling opined, and the next nine months of 2015 were right on target with his expectations.
Six-month moving average 1951–2014
High-volatility periods are times of greater risk and uncertainty in the market. These are times when investors are more prone to emotional decisions, when hair-trigger computer programs can launch market moves, and when negative news tends to carry more clout than the positive. Studies have shown that periods of high market volatility also tend to be times of lower returns. Which brings up the question, what if investors were to "just say no" to volatility?
The first problem is to identify periods of volatility clustering. Easterling provides a relatively simple approach to viewing volatility, using a six-month moving average to reduce market noise and smooth the trend. In his analysis of the S&P 500 back to 1950, he identified an average of four 1%+ days per month. Suppose investors were to use the same methodology to monitor market volatility, moving out of equities when volatility based on the six-month moving average exceeds 100% of the average, i.e., eight or more 1%+ days in a month?
Financial markets are neither random nor efficient, but move in patterns that create opportunities to manage risk and enhance returns over full market cycles.
At first glance, the idea is intriguing. Historically, volatility increases during market declines, peaking as the market reaches its lows. Given that volatility does indeed cycle, with periods of high volatility followed by periods of low volatility, it should be possible with the use of the lagging six-month moving-average indicator to reduce portfolio volatility—but at what cost?
The only catch is an argument that is often made to discourage market timing: What if one misses the best days of the market, with their ability to turbocharge returns? These days are by definition among the most volatile. This brings up the biggest drawback to using volatility as solely a measure of market risk. Volatility in and of itself is not necessarily a negative. Few investors object to having their portfolios increase by 4%, 5%, and even 10% in a single day. The problem is "negative" volatility, days when the 1%+ move is down.
With that thought, backtests were run using the period from January 1995 through September 2015. The first test moved a portfolio invested in the S&P 500 index to the protection of cash whenever the six-month moving average number of days per month with gains or losses in excess of 1% was eight or more. The second moved the portfolio to cash only when the six-month moving average number of days per month with losses in excess of 1% was four or more. The results are shown in Exhibit 2.
Over the 20-year period of this analysis, the "no first caps" strategy triggered trades ten times, and the "no first caps" strategy traded eight times. For each strategy, the shortest period out of the market was a month. The 2007-09 period saw the longest stretches of going to cash for each strategy—close to two years.
At the end of September 2015, a buy-and-hold investment of $100,000 in the S&P 500 was valued at $420,524; avoiding extreme volatility reduced the ending value to $367,753; avoiding periods of high negative volatility resulted in the best performance and an ending value of $457,877.
Avoiding extreme volatility clearly hurt returns. The model that avoided excessive volatility without discriminating as to whether the volatility was up or down tended to re-enter markets later and in some instances, move out of markets when the volatility was largely positive. When investors "say no" to all excessive volatility, they they may miss the good along with the bad. This comes back to the fallacy of basing risk on volatility alone. What matters is not volatility, but "negative" volatility. When the investor discriminates between high volatility and high negative volatility, performance improves.
Can investors "just say no" to all extreme volatility? Not without sacrificing performance. But this exercise does strongly suggest that "saying no" to negative volatility has the potential to produce better returns with less risk, and a smoother ride for the investor. It illustrates, in simple fashion, one of the core underlying principles behind many actively managed strategies that seek to avoid large episodic drawdowns: Financial markets truly are neither random nor efficient, but rather move in patterns that persist for sufficient time periods to be detected and acted upon, creating opportunities to manage risk and enhance returns over full market cycles.

Where's the Global Warming we've been promised?
Where's the Global Warming we've been promised?
I'm reading from all manner of blogging friends, unaccustomed to the amount of snow and cold that they've experienced lately; seeing some gorgeous photos of British countryside and hearing tales of intrepid expeditions to Tesko's aka the grocery store, written in polar expedition style.
And all I can say is "love those photos!" ...all the while chortling secretly because to us over here in Canada the snow that they're moaning about would be considered just a light dusting and their -10C temperatures would here be known as balmy.
I know I should be graceful and sympathetic to people unaccustomed to this type of weather. I should commiserate but I also know that all too soon I'll be seeing photos of spring flowering gardens while I'm still stuck in the doldrums of winter.
So I thought I'd post some photos of a "real" winter like the one at the start of this post; that was just a small sampling of what our winter was like last year. Snow started falling in early November and never stopped until March!
Here we have Luna modelling winter fashions that no self respecting Canadian (hairless) dog would be without.
....red flannel Pj's. Note the fashionable 2 button rear "flap" for easy access when a quick trip out-of-doors is necessary.
Eh? What's that? ....sure, I'd love to see more photos of your poor frozen palm trees out there in your garden! Eh? No, you must be mistaken. I'd never laugh at your predicament!
What's that? You heard that there's a turn around predicted in your weather forecast!!? Well good for you.... damn!
OK Luna, I know you have to go badly but just wait until I get your snowshoes fastened! Have you got your shovel handy?

Kill the games, kill the shame and kill the fear.
In the oldest of times, the warriors fought and died
And the slaves served secretly carrying the woes of the powerful,
In the womens' quarters for ensuring safety, were there competitions and fights;
The cultures of power and servitude were masqueraded throughout it all.
Hasten away from the harrowing tails of yesteryear, tomorrow is a new dawn
And there is nothing to fear; from foaming mouths that discharge only a despair,
Lessons learnt carry the silent prayers of sinners, for the purifying grace of honour.

The National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service have rejected a request to list the Atlantic sturgeon — the largest native fish in the Chesapeake Bay — under the Endangered Species Act.
But the decision will almost certainly trigger a legal challenge from the group that petitioned to have the sturgeon, whose populations have plummeted all along the coast during the past 100 years, listed as a threatened species.
"I'd say there's a 99 percent chance we're going to challenge them in federal court," said Jasper Carlton, director of the Colorado-based Biodiversity Legal Foundation. "It's critically endangered. To say it is not even biologically threatened is incredulous."
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which is responsible for managing migratory species along the East Coast, in June closed the Atlantic sturgeon fishery for the next four decades to allow the population to rebound.
Federal officials said that action contributed to their decision.
"There is no doubt that Atlantic sturgeon have been severely overfished," said Jon Rittgers, acting NMFS Northeast regional administrator. "But the range-wide prohibition on harvest and possession in all the coastal states recently formalized as a long-term moratorium by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has removed that threat to the species."
Ron Lambertson, USF&WS Northeast regional director, said that "with the complete closure of the fishery, we are confident that populations will be increasing. Restoration of this slow-maturing fish will be a lengthy process, and firm commitments to the necessary long-term protections are already in place."
But Carlton said the ASMFC's action, by itself, would do little to help the sturgeon because it failed to improve habitat by curbing pollution in spawning areas, or limit the bycatch of sturgeon in fisheries targeting other species.
"If you're not going to list the Atlantic sturgeon and the Atlantic salmon under the Endangered Species Act, at least as threatened, you might as well not have an Endangered Species Act," said Carlton, whose organization has also been active in seeking to have the Atlantic salmon listed in New England.
"They're just not going to list anything that's water-related because water is the big issue," he said. "They don't want to have to address water pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing, and all three of those apply to the Atlantic salmon and the Atlantic sturgeon."
Sturgeon can grow up to 14 feet long, weigh more than 800 pounds and live up to 60 years. They are an anadromous fish, spawning in freshwater rivers but spending most of their lives swimming along the coast until returning to their native rivers to spawn. They were once one of the most important fisheries in the Bay and along the coast, but sturgeon take so long to reproduce — females don't mature for more than a decade — that their population was unable to withstand fishing pressure and was nearly wiped out in the early part of this century.
Although sturgeon fishing has essentially been banned in the Bay for years, scientists have observed no evidence of a population rebound. The only river that has shown evidence of occasional spawning is the James.
Nonetheless, a status review team with biologists from USF&WS, NMFS and three state agencies, concluded that the species is neither threatened nor endangered. The team concluded that spawning populations remained in 14 East Coast rivers, and possibly five more. Historically, the fish spawned in 34 rivers. Also, the team said habitat conditions in the rivers were gradually improving.
Carlton expressed doubt about the conclusions. "I'd be amazed if they can back this up," he said.
He said a river that occasionally has a sturgeon spawning in it — as may be the case in the James — is no indication of a healthy, abundant stock."I'd be delighted if indeed they can show me they have two or three healthy viable populations."
Carlton said the failure to list the sturgeon and improve its habitat conditions would lead to more species becoming imperiled. He said his organization may seek to have a dozen East and Gulf coast species listed under the Endangered Species Act in the next two years. "This is going to initiate fish wars on the Atlantic Coast," he said.

Historically the study of entrepreneurship reaches back to the operate in the late 17th and early 18th centuries of Richard Cantillon and Adam Smith, which was foundational to classical economics, and contemporarily, entrepreneurship is studied in the discipline of management. Some of these sources supply not only funds, but also financial oversight, accountability for carrying out tasks and meeting milestones, and in some instances company contacts and experience – in many circumstances in return for an equity stake. In fact, participating in a new organization creation or activity is fairly widespread among U.S. workers more than the course of our careers.
In this treatment the entrepreneur was an implied but unspecified actor, consistent with the concept of the entrepreneur being the agent of x-efficiency. When 1 decides that he will pursue an entrepreneurship degree, he very best have a explanation as to why he desires this degree in the 1st location, and how far does he want to go. Let's commence with an Associate degree.
Although you will never get wealthy studying, by attending one particular of the under universities with either a degree or an emphasis in entrepreneurship, you will be in a position to at least survive your stint in graduate college. Initially, you invest days of unrest for getting your residence primarily based organization via its second juncture. Successful entrepreneurs have the capability to lead a enterprise in a positive direction by appropriate organizing, to adapt to altering environments and recognize their own strengths and weakness.
The choice regardless of whether to stop at an Associate degree or press on towards a Bachelors can be difficult. The typical time to attain this post graduate degree is two years, but it can be taken component time over a period of 3, 4 or five years. Even though Michelacci and Schivardi do not especially determine qualities or traits for successful entrepreneurs, they do think that there is a direct partnership in between education and good results, noting that having a college degree does contribute to advancement in the workforce.
In essence you require to have the potential to get a sense of exactly where organization is probably to be heading in the coming years. Any undertaking that is innovative, and not for profit can be deemed as social entrepreneurship. Company Procedure Outsourcing has such a mythology about it, but it genuinely is just creating a common sense! Statistics will give us that house-based entrepreneurship delivers the financial advantages are equally appealing compared with these who we might get from the company's life.

Thanks for joining me and Sarah for Meatless Monday today. Being that spring is sort of in the air and it's almost St. Patrick's Day, I knew a green themed recipe was required today. I took a few of my favorite green veggies and combined them into one delicious Creamy Avocado, Asparagus and Broccoli Soup. It's vegan and dairy free so everyone is happy today.
Creamy Avocado, Asparagus and Broccoli Soup
If you have a hard time eating your veggies, this soup is for you! Loaded with healthy fat from the delectable avocados and pumped with fiber and potassium from broccoli, it's a nutritional winner. The creamy texture comes from the avocados and from unsweetened almond milk.
If I have not sold you on this Creamy Avocado, Asparagus and Broccoli Soup yet, wait until you see how easy it is to make. This is not a recipe that needs tons of prep or simmer time. I like to roast the asparagus and broccoli to bring out the flavor however, if you are in a time crunch, steaming them in the microwave works just fine as well.
You will need a strong immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup. After my blender died last year, I replaced it with this Ninja blender and have been super happy. I use it for everything.
This Creamy Avocado, Asparagus and Broccoli Soup can be frozen into smaller batches to take out as needed the next few weeks. I am taking some to my dad this week. A few of my favorite garnishes are roasted pumpkin seeds and croutons. I love a little texture on top of a creamy pureed soup.
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 bunch of asparagus (ends cut off)
- 2 Cups of broccoli
- 32 ounce of vegetable broth
- 3/4 C unsweetened almond milk
- salt and pepper as needed
- 1 tsp of cumin, coriander, curry powder, turmeric & paprika
- Preheat oven to 375
