In-transit, manufactured for export, and editorial/transportation changes
Those involved in manufacture, import, storage or transportation of pesticides, which are not registered for use in Canada may soon see reference to GHS-style documentation accompanying foreign products while they are in Canada. This amendment is partly as a result of a relaxation of the "in-transit" prohibition on pesticides ("pest control products" or PCP) that are not registered for use in Canada (required as a result of the government's support of the 2017 World Trade Organization's ratification of the 2014 Trade Facilitation Agreement – TFA).
Until recently, there was a general prohibition in the Canadian PCP legislation that, in general, prohibited the: manufacture, possession, handling, storage, transportation, import, distribution, or use of unregistered pest control products. An amendment to the PCPR adopted in Canada Gazette II (CG II) on December 26, 2018 includes authorization of import/export for "Products not Intended for the Canadian Market".
WHMIS 2015, as specified in the Hazardous Products Act (HPA) s. 12/Schedule 1, excludes "pest control products", as defined in the PCP Act (PCPA), from the WHMIS regulations. This wasn't perceived to be a safety issue since, up until the recognition of the TFA only registered PCP were authorized for general manufacture, possession, handling, storage, transportation, import, distribution, or use. There are limited exceptions, but only under specified circumstances, usually with restrictions.
Registration of pesticides requires submission of label text with hazard communication criteria, to Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). PMRA must approve the label, and the registrant cannot subsequently make changes without re-approval from PMRA.
Presumably because importation of non-registered PCP was generally prohibited under the PCP Act, it was not considered necessary to specify exemption only for "registered" PCP in the HPA.
PCP in-transit – i.e., PCP that are not intended for use in Canada, but will move through Canada en route to their destination, would not be subject to the registration process, nor will they be required to comply with WHMIS under the HPA exemption. Thus, there has been an amendment to the PCP Regulation (PCPR) for alternate hazard communication documents to accompany "in-transit" shipments.
Subsection 3.2(1) prescribes 5 characteristics of the availability of the documentation.
Subsection 3.2(3) (hazard identification) elements may be based on either the appropriate current PCP precautionary symbols/signal words for registered PCP; or the applicable GHS precautionary symbols, signal words, and hazard statements.
In addition to the hazard identification section, six other categories of information are prescribed in the new subsections 3.2(2)-(8):
3.2(2) Product/Importer identification (5 elements)
3.2(3) Hazard identification (nature and degree)
3.2(4) Active ingredient (chemical name and concentration)
3.2(5) First aid measures (including reference instructing to take accompanying information when seeking medical attention)
3.2(6) Firefighting, handling, transportation, and storage
3.2(7) Accidental release, decontamination, and safe disposal including packages)
3.2(8) Toxicological, and ecological risk reduction
A subsection to PCPR requires that documentation containing specified identification and safety information accompany the shipment while it is in Canada. In addition, the "importer, exporter or owner" must provide the Minister, on request, with any or all of the information 30 days in advance of import. The Minister also may request details of the handling of the shipment within Canada, and when it will be exported.
There is currently a provision for manufacturers to make non-registered PCP for export only. However, the exemption only applies if the active ingredient is itself registered with PMRA. If the PCP formulation itself is not registered, then the documentation requirements for imported "in-transit" shipments will apply to the manufacturer of the unregistered PCP for export.
Those involved with the handling/forwarding, transportation, or storage of in-transit/export PCP will be expected to have the identification/safety documentation available.
An imported, unregistered PCP that is subject to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act is exempt from the identification/safety information documentation in the PCP Regulation s. 3.2. Presumably the shipping documents and safety marks, etc., that are required by the TDG Act are considered adequate alternatives.
In addition to editorial changes (e.g., adding plural for formulations with more than one active ingredient; making the references to "graphic" label elements more inclusive), both related and unrelated directly to the TFA issues, the amended PCPR add segregation of poisonous/toxic hazard PCP from human food/animal feed during transportation (previous references referred to "storage and display").
Any PCP, registered containing PCPR signal word "POISON" with the danger precautionary symbol; or unregistered with the GHS signal word "DANGER" with "Fatal…" or "Toxic…" hazard statements; is subject to transportation in a separate compartment from food/feed.
In-transit PCP are also expected to be packaged to safely contain the product under normal conditions of storage and transportation.
The changes directly related to the TFA process become effective in July 2019, as indicated in the CG II SOR/2018-284 amendment. Details of required documentation (in English or French) are in the notice. The other changes, editorial, and inclusion of transportation segregation are effective as of the December 26, 2018 publication date. Background on the TFA leading to this amendment is also contained in the impact statement of the CG II notice: http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2018/2018-12-26/html/sor-dors284-eng.html
The in-force date for the "in-transit"/export provisions are tied to the adoption of the TFA, which is also contained in the Dec. 26, 2018 edition of CG II (SI/2018-113): http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2018/2018-12-26/html/si-tr113-eng.html.

4 Things that Students Should Do Before Moving to Perth for University
Perth is home to Scotland's 14th largest population, but to students, it's number one when it comes to having fun. While about 50,000 people in size may not seem like much, you don't want to be caught off guard when you head to Perth for university. If you're an international student or Scottish native, keep this advice in mind before you head to "The Fair City."
Save Up
Even with scholarships and financial aid from your university, you'll still want to experience what Perth has to offer — but that requires careful considerations regarding your student finances. For example, Perth is littered with numerous historical castles, like the Scone Palace and Kirk of St. John the Baptist. You should study for your classes, but you should also save up to experience what Perth has to offer.
Get a RailCard Card
While you could take your own car in Perth for convenience, it would be much cheaper to get a RailCard for people aged 16-25. You get 33% off rail fares as you travel across Britain. Once you settle into your routine at Perth, you'll want to explore more on your off days. Discounted travel fare is the best way to do that.
Be Prepared for the Weather
It's often joked that you can experience all four seasons in one day in Scotland. Don't think it's a joke. It's actually true, which can surprise you if you're an international student. As a general rule, layers are your friends, but still familiarise yourself with common Scottish words for the weather. You'll most likely hear your classmates cursing the fickle skies.
Grow Your Palate
Perth has many outlets for food lovers. There's the famous Max & Ben's Bistro, which has become one of the top eateries in the Strathearn area. We know university life means eating ramen all day, but you should splurge to find the best food Perth has to offer. Depending on how enthusiastically you frequent their establishment, some might look to hire you for business or serving purposes.
University Life is Unique
And you must take full advantage of it. Your uni years will fly by before you realise it, but these tips will make that experience much more memorable. You don't want to be broke in the city wishing you could do more, don't want to be stuck in one place, and don't want to miss the hidden joys Perth has to offer.

This narrow stretch of land boarders the eastern coast of the Southern Gulf of Drift. It shares the river border with the lands of Kry'im, as well as the edge of the unclaimable territory of Tai'ako. The lands are warm throughout the year and covered mostly in rich plains and trees here and there. The southernmost tip, however, does begin to see more desert like qualities, and the island off the southern coast sports a surprisingly beautiful reef.
Claimed By: None
Leader: None
Along the Western portion of the beach there are pockets of rocks hidden along the shore. Crabs, small fish, seas snails, and other delectable snacks can be found, hiding from the ocean. During high tide, the tide pools cannot be seen, they are hidden from the dark water. Early mornings and evenings before dark are the best times to visit.
One of the biggest geysers ever seen is found within these lands, though it does not spout out water - only the remnants of souls once lost within the lands. The sun is devastating here, killing most new life that tries to grow.
Though the vast majority of Alar is dry and barren of most life, the Vaikom Wastes stretch for at least three miles in every direction. The ground is dry and cracked, and the majority is also covered in sand. Not much survives there, and water is impossible to find.
All along the coast, Rysh Beach continues the desert landscape of Alar with sand even into the greenish blue waters of the Southern Gulf. Even the small island off the southern shore is a collection of sand, with no life other than what swims there occasionally.

It is with a heavy heart we heard of the passing of Disney Legend, Tyrus Wong. Tyrus Wong was 106 years old.
In a Walt Disney Family Museum original production directed by Don Hahn, guests can view Disney family home movies and holiday segments from Walt's shorts and feature films as Walt's daughter, Diane, shares her Christmas memories.
The same passion that drove Walt Disney and others to pursue their love of model railroading remains strong today. Tom Nance has hand built his own working 1/8th scale steam engine, almost an exact replica of Walt's own Lilly Belle.
Walt was in the midst of creating live action films and hosting television shows that put him right in America's living room. Soon Walt would chart new waters with his first ever live-action musical, Babes in Toyland.
December 15, 2016 marks fifty years since Walt Disney's passing. It has been half a century since the world lost one of its greatest visionaries.
The Walt Disney Family Museum has made some exciting new additions to gallery 3. All new Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs artifacts are now on view to showcase various characters, animation art, and merchandise.
Which Disney led the studio? It was a partnership. Both Walt and Roy Disney have been described as the spirit of Walt Disney Productions.
One of Walt's many great talents was stimulating other artists, inspiring them to create stunning works of all types. Explore some work by Walt's staff, only recently rotated onto display in the museum's main galleries.
Arguably, one of the most legendary (and possibly the most infamous) of Walt's Nine Old Men was the master draftsman, Milt Kahl. With the exciting presentation of The Walt Disney Family Museum's special exhibition of Wish Upon a Star: The Art of Pinocchio, we turn our attention to Kahl, the sometimes irascible yet always supremely talented artist behind the design of the lovable little puppet.
Although devastated by his brother's death in December 1966, Roy mustered the resolve to see through Walt's plans for the Florida project, which would not be a replica of Disneyland. John Hench recalled Roy saying, "I simply had to do it. Because when I meet Walt again, if I hadn't even tried to build that thing, I would really catch hell."

to give up. So him and I came up with a different way on how build it. We came up with a new way,
and it worked out just fine. So after we finished Koa and Lenny completed there's as well.
After me saying that I wouldn't do this again, I'm glad I didn't give up. But this something I might
not do again.

Meghan Markle's mother Doria Ragland has provided a hint at what she may be wearing on her daughter's wedding day on Saturday, after flying into London's Heathrow.
The 61-year-old, who Meghan is known to be very close to, left her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, to join her daughter and Prince Harry in London for the celebrations.
And perhaps the most exciting detail of Doria Ragland's journey to the UK was a garment bag she was seen carrying. Eagle-eyed fans spotted that the mother-of-the-bride was carrying a Burberry bag – so could she be wearing the London-based designer to the royal wedding?
After all, daughter Meghan is already a keen fan of the brand, having worn one of their tartan coats to her first ever Scottish engagement, in Edinburgh.
Doria flew into Heathrow airport at lunchtime, and it's thought she'll be spending some time with the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Prince William and Catherine ahead of Saturday.
It seems Meghan and Harry were keen to ensure Doria got the best treatment possible during, and after, her 10-hour flight. She was whisked through security at Heathrow's VIP Windsor suite after landing in London. She was then met by Meghan's personal assistant, Amy Pickerill, and many of the royal security protection team.
It's thought that Doria was then taken straight to see her daughter and the Prince at Kensington Palace, after leaving in a Jaguar estate and accompanied by police cars.
However, of course it's possible that the Burberry bag is simply hiding another outfit by a different designer. Only time will tell, it seems…
Doria's arrival in the UK comes as speculation mounts that she will be the one to escort her daughter down the aisle on 19th May.
Latest Stories
Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, has reportedly just undergone heart surgery, and so it's widely thought that he will be unable to attend the big day, and walk Meghan down the aisle.
In Harry and Meghan's engagement interview, the couple spoke openly about Doria, and how much time they had spent with her as Harry got to know his future mother-in-law.
Meghan said, "Once Harry was able to meet my mum, who we spend a lot of time with…", while Harry continued, "her mum is amazing".

Hey All,
With the release of Opus 9, I wanted to revisit one of my favorite archetypes (Mono Lightning). At the very least, based on my initial impressions of two mono lightning cards in limited (Baknamy and Bahamut ZERO), I wanted to see if mono lightning received enough tools to be competitive in the current meta.
A few posts/articles have already been written about Bahamut ZERO and how powerful a card this can be in the right situations – especially in limited. Being able to conditionally kill a forward (e.g., forward needs to be active) like 7 CP Odin but cheaper is ok. However, the effect of dulling your opponent's entire board is the bonus that is just asking to be exploited. The plays you can set up using this at the start of your opponent's combat phase to kill one of their forwards and dulling all their potential attackers (as well as the following turn's blockers during your next turn) helps with the aggressive/racing nature that mono lightning decks can have. As an extra bonus, I know I used to run Exodus just for the sake of killing Kam'lanaut after he selects lightning. However, if Kam'lanaut is not the only forward on the field now, mono lightning now has a way to get around the lightning protection by killing a different forward and dulling Kam.
The other card, which seems like a great build around, is Baknamy. Being a standard unit (and is also searchable via Gramis as it is an XII character) means it's possible that 2 (or even 3) copies can be on the board at the same time.
The effect of dulling an opposing forward whenever you play another lightning forward can get blockers out of the way. Even if the opponent is also able to go wide (e.g., Lenna/Knight or Leila/ Viking), multiple copies of Baknamy can easily dull the opposing board. Even with a single copy of Baknamy, his effect is still great when you play other lightning forwards who also dull a forward when they enter the field (effectively getting rid of more blockers). It goes without saying that playing a haste character with Baknamy can potentially let you get in damage immediately (so bonus points for Alba if you're able to dull multiple forwards and get in immediately).
With these two cards in mind, I wanted to propose the following mono lightning list which Andy Carmona and I worked on:
The main focus of the list, with the 19 backups is to try and get to 3 backups ASAP. A lot of the deck's plays are centered around 3CP so the deck wants to try and be efficient as possible with the resources (since the deck doesn't have card draw that other decks may have). The deck does run Sage (1-133C) and Diana to provide some recursion for forwards.
Standout backups that have been included were the new lightning sage (9-090C) and Summoner (1-139C). Sage (9-090C) lets us pitch the early Bahamut Zeros as you typically don't want to cast them early since they're expensive and get them back later when we want to race/close out the game. Summoner (1-139C) lets the deck cast Bahamut Zero from hand by sending the backup to the break zone.
As I noted above, Gramis is used to search for Baknamy. Since your opponents' forwards will most likely be dull (e.g., Baknamy's effect), Al-Cid will not be a searchable target via Gramis as he's not included in the list.
As for the forwards, the aim of the deck is to agro your opponent out with forwards that are 4CP or less to minimize the effect of Diabolos and Yiazmat. Many of the forwards in the list have haste allowing you to combo with Baknamy and get in damage as soon as possible.
With wind/water being a deck to watch out for (and to an extent Veritas), Hildibrand seems like he would be a great role-player. He's generally too big to be removed via Fina+Valefor (especially if you are able to keep Nashu available) and will act as Famfrit and Veritas protection (as he returns to your hand via these effects). Also, again wind/water the haste allows you to get in damage before they are able to combo Fina + Valefor to wipe your board. Many of the forwards are able to survive even up to double Valefor on your turn so the deck should be able to get some damage in before being potentially wiped.
With the third wave of LQ happening in a few weeks, I'm definitely looking to see if there are other decks that are able to compete with Wind/Water. Let me know your thoughts on mono lightning and if Opus 9 provided any other interesting tools for the deck.

Taking a holistic view of the contamination and its effects, we are able to see 2 possibilities
Contamination from Tall oil
We obtained a Crude Tall Oil (CTO) sample from the market and analyzed it. We noted abietic acid and pimaric acid (the main culprit in providing the adhesive property) and about 4,400 ppm of alpha pinene. We have looked for common abnormalities in 6 different fuel samples bunkered in Houston area which caused machinery problems. In these 6 samples we were able to see High acidity (high TAN) and presence of alpha pinene. The tests to establish the presence of other acids is going on. Increasingly, the evidence is pointing towards the presence of tall oil in these samples.
Contamination from biodiesel waste
We often find biodiesel waste (off spec biodiesel) in bunker fuels. Tests of these bunkers indicate high FAME's (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) and sometimes other acids. We have noted high FAME's and acids in the 6 problem samples referred to above.
The question arises if there are 2 streams of contaminants / adulterants in these fuels. The answer is no.
The reason is that Tall oil itself is used for manufacturing Biodiesel and off spec biodiesel from this process could contain all the substances listed above.
In fact, there is at least one plant in Houston which is producing biodiesel using Tall oil.
It is stated that there is a supply potential of 2.6 MMT for Crude Tall Oil (CTO) of which 1.75 MMT is currently being used, leaving the balance available for other purposes. Of this balance, 0.23 MMT of CTO is used for Biodiesel manufacture.
It can be seen from above that all the evidence is pointing to off‐spec biodiesel produced using tall oil and the waste from this process is likely to be the substance added to the bunker fuel as cutter stock.
This off spec material is of low viscosity. The measured viscosity of the CTO was 86 CST. It is available at a very low cost and therefore lends itself to use as a low‐cost cutter stock.
We still need to confirm that the bunker fuel samples contain other acids which are likely to cause the adhesion. Once these tests are completed, our investigation will be complete.
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Dr. Vis

Elevated serum urate levels can cause gout, an excruciating disease with suboptimal treatment. Previous GWAS identified common variants with modest effects on serum urate. Here we report large-scale whole-exome sequencing association studies of serum urate and kidney function among ≤19,517 European ancestry and African-American individuals. We identify aggregate associations of low-frequency damaging variants in the urate transporters SLC22A12 (URAT1; p = 1.3 × 10) and SLC2A9 (p = 4.5 × 10). Gout risk in rare SLC22A12 variant carriers is halved (OR = 0.5, p = 4.9 × 10). Selected rare variants in SLC22A12 are validated in transport studies, confirming three as loss-of-function (R325W, R405C, and T467M) and illustrating the therapeutic potential of the new URAT1-blocker lesinurad. In SLC2A9, mapping of rare variants of large effects onto the predicted protein structure reveals new residues that may affect urate binding. These findings provide new insights into the genetic architecture of serum urate, and highlight molecular targets in SLC22A12 and SLC2A9 for lowering serum urate and preventing gout.

Wirelife® Monolec® Penetrating Oil
Typical Applications
- All stationary or moving wire ropes or cables under heavy loads
- Chains of all sizes
Mining and construction
- Standing and running lines
- Draglines, cranes and derricks
- Marine environment
Cranes, hoists and drilling rigs
- Any other application that requires excellent rust protection for steel parts
Wirelife® Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant (2001) has excellent corrosion resistance and high load carrying (EP) properties. It penetrates to the core of wire ropes, whether they are running or stationary. It is also excellent as a penetrating lubricant for chains of all sizes and works well in a variety of other industrial applications. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Almasol® Coating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.
It contains a petroleum solvent to enhance its ability to penetrate. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a film of heavy-bodied lubricant that protects and lubricates each strand and resists leakage from the wire rope core.
Beneficial Qualitites
Superior Penetration
- Penetrates to the core of wire rope and to the pin and bushing area of chains
- Provides long-lasting lubrication of inner strands of wire rope
High Load-Carrying Capacity & Friction Reduction
- Contains extreme pressure (EP) additives
- Works well for heavily loaded standing or running wire ropes
- Resists fretting wear, a major cause of wire rope failures
- Provides wear-reducing protection between strands and over sheaves or drums
- Allows strands to slide against each other with greatly reduced friction, wear and heat
Rust & Corrosion Protection
- Performs extremely well in marine environments
- Resists water washout
Provides outstanding rust protection and is an excellent metal preservative for all types of equipment
- Works well with wire rope, cables and chains, as well as in many other applications requiring a penetrating lubricant
- Meets USDA H2 criteria for nonfood contact areas of food processing
Easy Application
- Can be dipped, sprayed on with automatic equipment or hand-applied with a brush
- Is also available in aerosol cans, which contain no chlorofluorocarbons
Proprietary Applications
LE's proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant contains Monolec.
Monolec® wear-reducing additive has proven its extraordinary performance in thousands of applications. An invaluable component in LE's engine oils, industrial oils and many of its other lubricants, Monolec creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing film strength without affecting tolerances. It allows opposing surfaces to slide by one another, greatly reducing friction, heat and wear.

The upcoming February 23, 2018, lecture by Mr. Jamie Swift on the theme of The Politics of Memory: rewriting history is a very timely and politically sensitive lecture theme for some of the reasons I am about to share with you.
You might want to check out and read the Kingston Whig-Standard, Tuesday, February 20, 2018, edition and go to the article in Section B, Page 1 entitled Rewriting Canada's memory banks: Archivists 'decolonize' collections. The article is by THE CANADIAN PRESS writer Mr. Bob Weber.
Mr. Weber starts out his own article saying, "Reconciliation is rewriting Canada's memory banks as archivists across the country work to make their collections more open and sensitive towards Indigenous people."
The study of "human memory" is a very complex and politically and cross-culturally sensitive scientific research topic for most academic researchers on so many personal and scientific research levels.
The area of scientific human memory research is currently both very broad, and very specialized. Our individual and collective human understanding of who we are, and what may or may not happen to our memories, imperfect as they may be after we die
takes on a special research significance in our digital age, for people from all walks of life.
No other time in human history has it become so easy and low cost for both private individuals and powerful elites from around the world to both record, modify, destroy and/or preserve all types of human experiences in digital format. The digital recording and controlling of our human life experiences may be for both commercial gain and/or political reasons of seeking to have power and control over other individuals.
The U.S. historian and author Abby Smith Rumsey has written an interesting book worth considering reading with the title "When We Are No More. Theme: How Digital Memory is Shaping Our Future."This same book title is available through our local library lending system. Ms. Rumsey is described by her publisher as an American historian who writes about how ideas and information technologies shape perceptions of history, of human time and of personal and cultural identity.
Ms. Rumsey has consulted with many libraries on digital collecting and curation, and intellectual property issues and the economics of digital information. Ms. Rumsey opening question in her book to all of her readers is framed thus, "What is the future of human memory? What will people know about us when we are gone?" Rumsey's book is a call to action in our digital age. Rumsey points out in our digital age it has become so cheap to record and digitally store all human experiences. The practical question arises as to which pieces of information do we need to store and preserve for posterity, in what storage format and what information items do we choose to discard? Rumsey also asserts in her book that "...data storage is different from memory; what we know from neuroscience about the value of forgetting; and above all, why memory is about the future, not the past."

Here are 7 ingredients that make the worst exercise fuel and what you should be eating instead.
Trust us, it won't turn out well.
If you've mustered the willpower to drag yourself to the gym, good for you—that's half the battle. But once you belly up to the barre or sit on that stationary bike, the real challenge is finding the energy to go hard.
Like any well-oiled machine, your body requires the right kind of fuel to perform at all—especially through those last 10 minutes of HIIT class. While you know not to load up on cupcakes, pizza, or champagne an hour or two before a sweat sesh, there are some more surprising—even seemingly healthy—pre-workout foods that are equally guaranteed to weigh you down. We talked to top nutritionists and dietitians to uncover which ingredients make the worst exercise fuel and what you should be eating instead.
Leafy greens
Sports drinks
"Instead, opt for a lower sodium tomato juice, which provides potassium, promotes healthy blood pressure, and may even help you stay hydrated thanks to its low-sodium content," says Nancy Teeter, registered dietitian.

One of the most exciting things about architecture is to see the reinvention and reinterpretation of classic styles. When it's done correctly, it's mesmerizing. Alexander Dahlgren's new construction at 6434 Royal Lane will become another Dallas architectural icon — mark my words. Inspired by the international modernist style developed in the 1920s and 1930s, our Inwood House of the Week is exceptional in every way.
Dahlgren has stayed true to the original concepts of the international modernist style with a focus on the basic tenents: simplification of form, rejection of ornamentation, and the use of glass, steel, and concrete as the main building materials. The style emerged from France, Germany, and Holland after World War I and dominated architecture until the 1970s.
With Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, and the Sydney Opera House as just a few of the stunning examples of this architectural style, it's easy to see how it inspires architects today.
"I think a house that is properly designed from a floorplan standpoint automatically creates the best exterior," Dahlgren said. "I like houses that are very straightforward."
Straightforward does not mean dull. One glance at the arcade entry tells you this house is about the reveal. "Psychologically the arcade establishes something special is about to happen," Dahlgren said. "There is a definite sense of arrival, that you are really going somewhere. The arcade design is used a lot in Europe and the Middle East. When you access rooms that have interior courtyards or very urban houses in Europe or the Middle East, there is a transition. This house is reminiscent of those homes."
Dahlgren builds to the site. One of the most important features on this site is the ancient oak tree in the backyard. "The whole house design is centered on that tree," Dalhgren said." It's like having a 10-foot-tall painting of the tree."
This 4,278-square-foot house is designed for art lovers. It's flooded with indirect daylight, the biggest portions of glass face north, and there is UV protection on all of the glass. You can rest assured your collection will be protected in this house.
Dahlgren is obviously meticulous. While he is all about aesthetics, he's also cognizant of what makes a house smart and livable. For instance, you may think a home on Royal Lane is inevitably going to be noisy. There are three coats of masonry stucco with an elevated water-resistant barrier and six inches of foam insulation in the walls. The house is dead silent once you enter those magnificent mahogany doors.
The house has a strong central axis. Dalghren gives a lot of thought to how the spaces in a home will be used. He arranges spaces within the building and property lines and orients them to light and sound.
Dahlgren's floorplan is remarkably flexible. The downstairs configuration has two bedrooms plus an office, that could easily be used as another bedroom. There are two more bedrooms and a second living room upstairs.
"I think that people should be delighted every day when they are in their homes," Dahlgren said. "Our houses can elevate us in terms of the way we live. If you go to luxury hotels because they are so much nicer than where you live, you should upgrade your home. There are so many things that impact the way you feel, and that has to be part of the way you live."
"This is a home that resonates with today's modern luxury buyers," Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate listing agent Weston Pugh said. "Families love the house because it's so livable. It's luxurious but relaxed." Pugh and Jeff Updike have this international modernist-style home listed for $1.249 million.
Remember, luxury properties in Texas are selling like hotcakes. According to the most recent report released on Dec. 14 from the Texas Association of Realtors, luxury home sales
(homes that sold for over a million) increased 19 percent.
Vicki Fullerton, chairman of the Texas Association of REALTORS®, commented, "Despite slowing growth trends across the Texas housing market, job market and economy in 2017, Texas luxury home sales volume has continued to grow at a booming pace. Rising home prices, high-end remodeling activity in major metro areas and relocation activity from out-of-state residents all continue to be drivers for Texas home sales of $1 million and higher."
What this means is if you are interested in our international modernist Inwood House of the Week, don't wait long, it will be not be lingering on the market.
Open House: Sunday, Jan. 14, 1 to 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON, November 19, 2017 – Legal personhood, thank goodness, is still not the same as being considered human in the eyes of the law. Nonetheless, the meaning of "legal personhood" is constantly being challenged.
What rights and privileges are being granted when the moniker "legal person" is attached to an animal or object?
A deep dive into history finds mom and pop telling anyone that would listen that the family dog, or horse, or cow, or goat, or other loved animal "is family" and "just like a human." The arguments included discussions of how the animal was smart, understood, expressed love and more.
Dian Fossey spent eighteen years in Rwanda studying mountain gorilla groups and proved to the world that gorillas were highly intelligent. But not human.
Koko was a western lowland gorilla kept and studied in San Francisco. Koko learned more than 1000 words of modified American Sign Language. Koko was said to have an IQ in the 70-95 range, where 100 is considered normal for humans. Koko was not a person.
In 2014, journalist Anderson Cooper interviewed John Pilley, an 86-year-old retired psychology professor, about Pilley's border collie, Chaser. Called the smartest dog in the world, Chaser was able to identify over a thousand toys correctly over 95 percent of the time and followed virtually every command offered. Pilley had been educating and training Chaser up to five hours a day, five days a week for over nine years. Chaser – dog, not human.
Dolphins are considered highly intelligent. Can you tell anyone you didn't love Flipper?
Wilbur had a talking horse named Mr. Ed. Okay, only on TV.
Cockroaches must be very intelligent: They have survived for over 300 million years, meaning they were thriving when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They are said to be able to survive a nuclear explosion.

In 2013, the world's first conference dedicated to the topic of nonhuman animal personhood was held at Yale University. In attendance were members of an organization called The Nonhuman Rights Project, whose efforts to secure human-equivalent legal personhood protections for animals, is well known to those concerned about such things.
Steven Wise, the NhRP founder, acknowledged at that conference that virtually all human societies have denied "other than human" animals the right to bodily liberty.
The current legal personhood arguments of animal rights supporters and the pressures they bring to bear, are often directed to organizations that "keep" animals, such as zoos, circuses, amusement parks and the like. Many of these organizations have caved to these campaigns, one well-known example being SeaWorld's decision to stop using killer whales (orcas) in its shows.
The Yale conference included many speakers concerned with many "animal rights" topics, including the right of animals not be to used in experimentation.
Wise, and many others, want to move the pendulum of current legal distinction for animals from "thinghood" to "personhood." Such a distinction would result, according to Wise and those in that arena of belief, to a more humane treatment of animals and to "giving them their freedom," akin to the freedom people enjoy, as an example, about where they live.
Wise and others say that certain animals have critical capacities, like autonomy, sense of self, awareness of others, mental time travel, and complex problem solving, that qualify them for the right to liberty, and they should thus be seen as equal under the law.
Wise is not off of the deep end with his arguments. He does not say that animals can deal with responsibilities, thus negating that concept that "rights" beget responsibilities. His advocacy points mostly at "rights" in the realm of the treatment of animals.
There are many definitions for what is required to be a human. Some seek to define humanity by comparing it to animals, and note that humans are distinguished by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and an upright stance.
Scientists agree there is no absolute consensus on the question of what makes a human "special," or even if we are. The biggest debate concerns whether our cognitive abilities differ from animals "in kind" or merely in degree. Are humans in a class by themselves, or just the smartest ones in the class?
Harvard researchers identified four abilities of the human mind that they believe to be the essence of "human uniqueness." They are:
- Generative computation. Humans can generate a practically limitless variety of words and concepts.
- Promiscuous combination of ideas. Permitting the mingling of different domains of knowledge such as art, sex, space, causality, friendship, thereby generating new laws, social relationships and technologies.
- Mental symbols. These are our way of encoding sensory experiences, forming the basis of our complex systems of language and communication.
- Abstract thought. The contemplation of things beyond what we can sense.
The Bible has much to say on the subject. Examples include "Only man received the breath of God, in this way he was given a spirit so that he transcends the world of animals." (Eccles.12:7, 1Thess. 5:23); and "Only man can actually communicate with God."
"Legal personhood" is a term that, despite naysayers, is not however always reserved for humans.
Astoundingly (in this author's opinion), the United States Supreme Court said corporations are persons in 2010 when it ruled in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that (loose summary) the free speech clause of the First Amendment applied not just to "people" but to corporations.
A New Zealand court extended the "personhood" label to a river.
Courts in Argentina and Columbia have recognized "personhood" for chimpanzees and a bear.
New York courts have remained steadfast in rejecting legal personhood status for chimps because of the chimps' inability to bear legal responsibilities and social duties.
A very scary concept facing humankind today is the possibility that someday, our mechanical creations, such as robots, driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), could gain legal personhood status, and thus, human rights .
Conversations about robots falling in love, both with humans and with each other and marrying are commonplace in the world of people familiar with AI. David Levy, a British researcher, believes that by 2050, robots and humans will be able to marry legally in the United States. He predicts that Massachusetts will lead the way, as it did in 2004 when it became the first state to allow same-sex marriages between humans.
As early as 2006 the British government considered the potential future need for government subsidized healthcare and housing for robots.
Back in the realm of animals, Minnie, Beulah and Karen – elephants that for decades have lived in a family-owned traveling zoo in Connecticut and have been rented out for appearances in advertisements and weddings – became the subject of litigation hinging on legal personhood. Steven Wise and his group, the NhRP, are seeking legal person status for the elephant trio, with the goal of having them moved to a sanctuary.
The current lawsuit in the Connecticut Superior Court cites a large amount of scientific research establishing that elephants have advanced cognitive abilities and complex social lives, which allegedly serve as evidence of the elephants' autonomy. The elephants' owners say the trio has plenty of space and claims that the lawsuit is targeting a small family business without the funding to fight this fight.
If the Connecticut court grants legal personhood to these elephants, it would open the proverbial floodgates regarding the legal status of animals. Where would the line be drawn next? Are cats smarter than dogs? A dog is like a wolf. A gerbil deserves love.
Animals are property. The law, virtually everywhere, says so.
Bears do not use toilet paper. "Woof" is not human speech. How much is that doggie in the window? Sorry Charlie, you are not a good tasting tuna.
Hopefully Connecticut's jurists will keep the line drawn properly.

Hi Nancy,
Just wanted to let you know how well the nurse mare is working out for the orphaned Palomino Appaloosa filly that was born at our barn. That is the sweetest, gentlest, most laid-back mare! The two together make a wonderful momma and baby...an absolutely seamless transition. It has been such a blessing that you all provide this service in such a timely manner. It has made all the difference in the health of this filly. You have done such a wonderful job of training this mare...I just can't say enough about her kind and caring manner towards this foal. She always perks up when I enter the barn and begs for a flake of hay, which I always give to her....she is a joy to have here. I know that the filly's owners, Kent and Donna Tucker, are so appreciative as well.
Thanks again for coming down in the snowy weather to deliver "Little Dollar Sign". We are taking very good care of her while she is here and will miss her when she and the filly go home to the Tucker's barn.
Dr. Tony and Lory Ellis
This is the baby that was "raised" by your mare that we leased. (He won the Fifth running of the Governor's Cup in New Mexico on Oct. 25, 2009) Your horse was a sweetheart & we still talk about her!
Thank you so much for your program!!
He (Lydia's Last Step) ran 2nd in the Groovy Stakes at Sam Houston, Dec 5, 09 (Houston, TX), and he ran 2nd in the Riley Allison Futurity at Sunland Park, New Mexico on Dec 29, 09. He is scheduled to run in the Borderland Derby on Feb 27, 10 at Sunland Park, NM. We couldn't be more proud of him!!! We'll keep you posted.
Thanks again,
Happy New Year,
Rose & Wendell Chandler, and Lydia's Last Step
Good Morning,
Hope you had a safe trip home. Shadow is a true blessing. She has bonded with the filly and they are doing great. Tomorrow we will move them up to the big paddock and the next day out on the wheat pasture. She is sooooo attentive to the filly.
I am spoiling Shadow rotten. She is getting Apple wafers when I go out there and she reminds me if I forget. We can never thank you enough for all your hard work. Hope you have a great day!!! Thanks again.
Glenda and Kenneth Bass
