Date: Tuesday 24th March 2015
Location: Glasgow City Heritage Trust, Glasgow
Overview: The LEAF project was recently presented at a seminar for the European project, EFFESUS. This project aims to investigate the energy efficiency of historic urban districts across Europe and develop technology and systems for retrofit.
The seminar, held by Historic Scotland and Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, was an opportunity to demonstrate the decision support system developed by EFFESUS. This is a software tool which evaluates retrofitting options using geospatial data. It was also an opportunity to gain feedback from a range of stakeholders whom the model is intended to be used by (including town planners, conservation experts, sustainability consultants and policy makers at municipal and national levels).
The LEAF presentation was delivered by Historic Scotland on behalf of Changeworks, and explored the various non-technical barriers to retrofit. This included the various economic, planning and social barriers that have been discovered through the case studies. Stakeholders gave positive feedback and felt that all of the key issues had been addressed by the LEAF project.

As the Japanese market grows more magnetic for crypto exchanges, the local watchdog, the Financial Services Agency (FSA), stated its plans to get more people on their payroll since too many new online trading venues are applying for permissions to operate.
More resources required
On Wednesday, the FSA held a meeting on virtual currencies, where crypto scientists, traders and state officials participated. At the moment, the agency has a team of about three dozen members who supervise activities to do with crypto around the country. They also deal with granting licenses to crypto exchanges.
The agency intends to hire about a dozen people next year since the demand for crypto trading licenses is rapidly expanding.
Snowed under with permit applications
Presently, the FSA has been considering 16 applications submitted by newly opened trading platforms. However, the report made after the meeting says that another 160 and even more exchanges have applied, eager to get their foot in the crypto trading market.
Currently, only three exchanges out of 16 have kept their applications active, including Coincheck. Other 13 have withdrawn their requests.
Crypto staff wanted all over Japan
The FSA also reports that the financial watchdog is just one of the numerous companies that are in need of extra stuff in the sphere of electronic decentralized money. Mostly, those are trading businesses that have to make their way through a large number of user accounts and user balances with the help of a very small team that needs expanding.
The report claims that currently, these days Japanese digital exchanges are dealing with crypto assets that are 553 percent bigger than in 2018– that is $6.2 bln than a year ago. Three-quarters of these teams have less than 20 members in them.

Good news, parents: You can now get your kids the puppy they've always begged for. Well, sort of.
Hasbro's FurReal Ricky, the Trick-Lovin' Pup is an interactive pet that kids ages 4 and up will consider their ultimate BFF companion. Their newest pet also includes a bone toy, 18 doggy treats, and a treat pouch.They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but lucky for kids, Ricky is brand spanking new. With a little help, Ricky can balance his toy bone on his nose, and then flip it right into his mouth. Kids can also reach for his paw to watch him raise it for a handshake. As young ones interact with Ricky, they can reward his good behavior with treats, just like they would with a real pup. He'll even shuffle his feet around for more when he's not satisfied.
One of the best parts about Ricky is his no-mess digestive system! After feeding their playful doggo a treat, Ricky will poop them out when kids pet his back. While it doesn't directly compare to the real thing, FurReal Ricky will teach kids the importance of handling the less-glamorous duties involved with owning a dog.While Ricky is soft and cuddly on the outside, it's what's inside that makes him special. Thanks to sensors inside his cheeks, nose, mouth, paw, and back, Ricky can respond to the touch with more than 100 sound and motion combinations. Little ones can cuddle up to him at night and listen to him bark happily or attack with vicious little doggy licks.
*FurReal Ricky, the Trick-Lovin' Pup will be available in the fall and will require 4 C batteries.

Implementing an EPM solution is more than just making a software purchase and managing the implementation according to a plan.
There are 3 distinct features of a successful EPM project:
- Projects must start with a vision! What opportunities are there to improve current processes and generate value? These need to be identified and prioritised in a roadmap according to urgency and value.
- Humans matter too! These projects change the way people work. Ignore this element and prepare to explain why it all went horribly wrong.
- Delivering on time, on budget and to the required quality levels must not be forgotten
As well as explaining our approach, this session will involve some of ais's key clients who will discuss how this method has made a difference. Audience participation will be welcomed.

WASHINGTON — On Tuesday, call him the tiebreaker.
A vice president does not have much on his plate, as far as constitutional responsibilities go. He presides over the official count of electoral votes once, possibly twice, and, in the meantime, he waits in the wings in case the president becomes incapacitated.
But Vice President Mike Pence is expected to demonstrate the position's unique duty, and in historic fashion: In his capacity as president of the Senate, he is expected to cast the deciding vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as President Trump's education secretary — the first time a vice president has had to resolve a tie on a cabinet nomination in the nation's history.
Allowed to vote only when the Senate is deadlocked, vice presidents have a long history of settling disputes. John Adams, for instance, cast votes that helped determine the location of the United States capital and averted war with Britain.
Ahead of Mr. Pence's potential vote, here is a look back at a few crucial moments in modern vice-presidential tiebreaking.
Nearly Nine Years and Counting
Dick Cheney broke the last tie, according to the secretary of the Senate. On March 13, 2008, he broke a 50-50 split on an early procedural vote as Congress worked on a federal budget.
Parachuting in from the campaign trail, three presidential contenders were on hand to cast their own votes that day: Senators John McCain, Republican of Arizona; Hillary Clinton, Democrat of New York; and Barack Obama, Democrat of Illinois.
In his eight years as vice president during the Obama administration, Joseph R. Biden Jr. never settled a deadlocked vote, although there was speculation at one point that he would be called in to help confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general when her nomination stalled in 2015. (She was ultimately confirmed 56 to 43.)
The 50-50 Senate
Mr. Cheney cast eight tiebreaking votes in total — more than any other vice president since Richard M. Nixon's stint as No. 2. Mr. Cheney's first two opportunities came less than three months into George W. Bush's presidency.
On April 3, 2001, Mr. Cheney settled his first tie, beating back a Democratic plan to reduce the president's proposed tax cuts to cover the cost of Medicare prescription drug coverage.
It is perhaps more remarkable, though, that Mr. Cheney did not have more ties to break: When he was sworn in, the Senate was evenly split, with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, meaning any party-line vote could have necessitated a visit from the vice president.
The Senate currently has 52 Republicans, 46 Democrats and two independents (who choose to caucus — and frequently vote — with the Democrats).
Running on Tiebreaking
While these votes are often seen as a dutiful nod to the president, there have been times when they could be seen as a boon to the vice president, too.
In May 1999, Al Gore cast his last of four tiebreaking votes, helping pass an amendment to require background checks on all sales of firearms at gun shows.
At the time, Mr. Gore was in the midst of his ill-fated run for president. In the final weeks of the race, he cited that vote in a 60-second campaign ad, part of a biographical spot intended to highlight his principled stances on issues important to working families.
"As vice president, he defied the gun lobby and cast the tiebreaking vote to keep guns away from criminals," the announcer intoned.
A Bench Nominee in Need of a Boost
It has been more than three decades since the last vice-presidential tiebreaker on a presidential nomination — settling a deadlock over a nominee who, like Ms. DeVos, had become the subject of a bitter political fight.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed Daniel A. Manion, a lawyer and former Indiana legislator who had little experience in federal courts and whose father was a founder of the far-right John Birch Society, to a federal appellate court.
The nomination quickly became a tense tug of war between Reagan and Senate Democrats, who argued Mr. Manion was deeply unqualified. On July 23, 1986, Vice President George Bush put the matter to rest, siding with Republicans.
"We won by one vote," Reagan said afterward. "A little lynch mob had organized resistance against his nomination."

This Artist Uses Snowshoes to Carve Massive, Ephemeral Artworks into the Snow
All photos courtesy Simon Bec
Check out these incredible works by English artist Simon Beck, who'll make a rare U.S. appearance in Colorado this January
Simon Beck's art is inspired by the natural wonder and intricate nature of snowflakes; he travels the world carving large-scale artworks (around 300 pieces to date) into snow-covered landscapes using only his manpower and a pair of snowshoes. Many of his ideas come from patterns found in nature (snowflakes, spiraled cactus spears, cannabis leaves); crop circles; mathematical equations; and even iconic artists such as Vincent Van Gogh.
Back in December, we reported that Beck would be in Silverthorne, Colorado, from January 2–16 creating a series of designs on snow-covered canvases throughout the town. He's there now and has already completed a few new astounding works, which we've added to the collection below. Can't make it to Colorado this winter? Take a tour of some of Beck's best—and newest—works right here:
Beck also creates amazing sand art sculptures; if you're looking to (mentally) escape the cold for a bit, check out his Instragram for more inspiring shots of works in both mediums.

Making his New York theatrical debut, Sean Hayes takes on the role of Mr. Applegate, the devil incarnate, who turns the aging baseball fan into a youthful champion. Hayes, best known for his role on television's Will and Grace, is an amiable sly fox, but fails to invest the role with comic cunning. While he is careful to avoid the broad mugging of Phil Silvers, who appeared in the 1967 telecast, or that of Jerry Lewis, who starred in the 1995 Broadway revival, he doesn't capture the wonderful droll wit or cunning charm of Ray Walston who created the role in the original Broadway production and subsequent film.
Hayes simply goes through the motions, rather than reveal the impish mischievous of the role. The most grievous choice made by the actor, or perhaps the director, is to be found in that inspired second act solo turn, Those Were the Good Old Days. Mr. Hayes. it appears, is an accomplished pianist, so we find Applegate seated at a sprawling grand, accompanying himself through the laundry list of evildoers. The humorous roll call of such legendary monsters as Julius Caesar and Nero lose their ominous thrust and the brilliant lyrics are sidetracked by the pianistics. The vaudeville spirit of the song is diminished.
Jane Krakowski is an alluring Lola, who brings her own heat wave to summer theater-going. As the devil's advocate, she offers a sweet and sizzling turn. In the locker room seduction Whatever Lola Wants, Krakowski is appealingly torrid and teasing, and in the recreation of the original Bob Fosse choreography for Two Lost Souls, she displays captivating leggy zest. Krakowski is decidedly more bubbly than sultry and she brings a sunny disposition to the timeless vamp.
If the humor of the piece doesn't always successfully surface, the romantic elements are beautifully realized. Randy Graff as the long suffering wife, P.J. Benjamin as the aging fan, and Cheyenne Jackson as the home run hitter, Joe Hardy, give the musical its true heart and fervor. A Man Doesn't Know and Near To You are gorgeously realized duets as sung by Graff and Jackson, and the transformation of old Joe to young Joe in the song Goodbye, Old Girl remains one of the most thrilling moments in musical theater history.
Less successful is Megan Lawrence as Gloria Thorpe, who misses the dash and urgency of a sports reporter. But all is forgiven when the players sing the dugout anthem Heart.

At least two schools have collapsed with hundreds of children inside as the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan struggles in the wake of last week's earthquake. Aftershocks of magnitude 6.0 have already caused hundreds of deaths in remote hillside towns.
China now forecasts that the death toll from a devastating May 12 earthquake could reach 50,000, with damage up to U.S. $20 billion. Residents in some of the worst-hit areas photographed the damage and relief efforts in recent days and sent these images to RFA's Cantonese service.
A veteran journalist finds Maymo, formerly a sleepy Burmese hill station, is now a key element in the junta's efforts to shore up the military and develop nuclear power. It's also the nerve center of their bid to take decisive control of the Internet.
Burma's military government has sharply revised upward the estimated death toll from Cyclone Nargis, as aid agencies report cholera and continued delays in getting help to survivors.

Property Transfer Tax Exemptions
Welcome back! My last "blog" introduced you to the Property Transfer Tax ("PTT") which is payable in most instances where there is a change to a property title. There are, however, exemptions to the payment of tax.
Several common exemptions fall under the heading of "Family" exemptions. For instance, if a related individual transfers a principal residence or an interest in the principal residence to you, you "may" be exempt from paying the PTT. Those people considered to be a related individual are:
• your spouse, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, parents, grandparent or great-grandparent;
• the spouse of your child, grandchild or great-grandchild; and
• the child, parent, grandparent or great-grandparent of your spouse.
Child includes stepchild.
Your "spouse" is:
• a person who you are married to, or
• a person who you are living with in a marriage-like relationship, provided that you have been living in this arrangement for at least two years. The marriage-like relationship includes people of the same gender.
Interestingly enough, people who are not considered to be a related individual include:
• your sister, brother, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew.
Naturally, there are several criteria in order for a property to meet the definition of a principal residence. For instance, one criteria is that either you (being the transferee) or the person transferring the property to you (the transferor) have had to reside on the property and have used it as their home. The second criteria is that the improvements on the land (for example, the buildings) are set up to accommodate three families or less. In other words, you would not be able to claim an apartment building as your primary residence. The improvements on the land must be classified as "residential" by BC Assessment. Finally, the land must be 0.5 hectares, or 1.24 acres or smaller.
Of note is that a person is considered to have only one principal residence at a time.
In the event a principal residence is transferred to two or more people who are not all related individuals of the transferor, the exemption will only apply to the interest acquired to those people who are related individuals of the transferor. For example, your father transfers his principal residence jointly to you and your boyfriend, but you are not living in a marriage-like relationship. The exemption would only apply to the 50% interest acquired by you because your boyfriend is not considered to be a related individual.
There are different rules that apply in the event the property that is being transferred to a relative is considered "recreational". In this case:
• the person transferring the property must have "usually" resided on the property on a seasonal basis;
• the property must be classified as "residential" by BC Assessment;
• the land is 5 hectares or 12.36 acres or less; and
• the entire property has a fair market value of $275,000 or less.
As you may have determined, the application and calculation of the property transfer tax is not a simple one. More exemptions will be discussed in future blogs.
In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact us if you are uncertain about the property transfer tax.

Briefly, Consensus is a cooperative process in which group members can productively resolve issues, make choices or develop strategies. This leads a group to a mutual understanding, agreement to support a decision and takes actions to implement it despite different perspectives or disagreements on particular details (anonymous, n.d.). A consensus is not a vote or some sort of appeal to popularity, but rather it is the skill required in a group to see the facts, let the evidence shape our understanding, create an environment that allows others to understand various points of view, and create an action plan that is most logically sound.
A consensus is the sum of multiple critical thinking skills and is in itself a crucial component of critical thinking because it takes the skills of reasoning, planning, self-correction, cognitive flexibility, attentiveness and communication, which leads it to a decision for a set of actions (Papathanasiou et al., 2014). These critical thinking skills, one of them being consensus, need to be developed through discussions among peers, and the peers in the group have to able to search for answers rather than being given the answers. The typical lecture in a school is not compatible with helping students develop the skill of consensus.
Consensus should be a priority in higher education because there are many learning benefits apart from developing critical thinking skills. In a group discussion, reaching consensus requires inquiry, openness, dialog, research, and critical reflection. This allows the group to integrate recently acquired external information with existing knowledge, and exploit it for commercial benefit (Lord, 2015). The evidence shows there are many benefits to students who often practice using consensus in group discussions to develop the skill. Reaching consensus is rather rare these days, and it will do well for students to have this skill for future employment along with other endeavors.
Lectures do not help with developing the consensus skill, and the current education system is not doing much to work towards helping students develop critical thinking skills such as consensus. The Alberta education system has agreed that students need more than just lectures and have suggested talking circles to allow students to share their views, but there are no discussion-based methods to allow reasoning or to reach a consensus. As a matter of fact, reaching a consensus is discouraged (Alberta Education, n.d.). It is apparent that the education system is still missing the mark because learning takes more than just sharing unchallenged views that require no reasoning, no research, or do not contribute towards a plan to meet some goal. If talking circles is the most that the education system can do, reaching consensus is not practiced or developed among students and it is apparent that it does not exist in the current education system.
The good news is that there is a way to help students develop their consensus skills, and a plan will be shared for what can be done at a university. University classes need to be discussion-based instead of lecture-based. Discussions allow a student to come to class prepared through research that they have done on their own to share evidence, discuss it, and come to a consensus. The research that the students do should be geared toward a plan of action, perhaps working on solving current day problems within the subject area of the class, but not being too strict as to not allow other fields of research to influence the group discussions. This will allow students to use evidence to create a plan, and they will have to learn to reason, self-correct, communicate, and reach a consensus in order to succeed. It will be more than remembering facts because it will allow students to better themselves through obtaining skills that allow them to learn effectively.
The bad news is that the plan presented is unlikely to happen anytime soon in the current education system. However, Socelor is an alternative where we do all we can to help people learn skills such as consensus by using some of the methods mentioned and more that are all based on the science of learning.

ViewSonic Enters the PC Business
Page 1 of 1
The ViewSonic VPC100 All-in-One desktop PC
Source: ViewSonic. Click to enlarge.
ViewSonic has been a major monitor maker for 20 years, so it seems an unlikely choice to enter into the PC market -- but that's exactly what it's doing with the VPC100 All-in-One desktop PC.
Talk about timing. The economy continues to sputter and computer sales have been off since late last year, especially desktop computers. At least the notebook space has held up somewhat as desktops continue to fall out of favor.
But Viewsonic thinks it has something different in the VPC100. The slim design packs an Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Atom processor instead of a Core 2 processor, 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive into a cast with an 18.5-inch horizontal display. The VPC100 also uses Microsoft Windows XP -- which is less of a strain on the Atom than running Windows Vista.
In addition to the basic components, the VPC100 has four USB 2.0 ports, a DVD drive, wireless support with 802.11 b/g, an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port and an integrated 1.3-megapixel Webcam. Users can upgrade the memory and hard drive if they wish.
At $599, it's a lot cheaper than the $1,199 minimum for an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iMac, against which all-in-one PCs are inevitably compared, or when compared to HP's TouchSmart, which carries a hefty suggested retail price of $1,999.
Mike Holstein, vice president of advanced solutions and emerging technologies at ViewSonic, doesn't see his company becoming a competitor with the major OEMs that so often are paired with his displays.
"The way we view this new space is it's an emerging product category and an extension to ViewSonic's desktop monitors," he told InternetNews.com. "Most of our customers that we sell displays to today are not in this market. A lot of the competition in this emerging market are composed of offshore companies -- new companies entering the market. The major companies have not addressed this space."
The segment ViewSonic is targeting is the knowledge user, such as a desk worker who needs basic capability that an Atom-powered computer can easily provide, he added.
"Some of the competitive offerings are on the high end," he said. "They are multimedia machines with touch capability. We're targeting the office worker where the functionality we provide is more than enough for doing office productivity apps, and at the same time, even if it's a consumer, unless they want to do 3D gaming, these entry-level products are more than sufficient for the majority of consumer needs."
As a result, he doesn't see TouchSmart and iMac as competitors.
"I would draw the comparison to the netbooks," Holstein said. "Look at the market share netbooks enjoy right now. Why has that been so successful? Primarily because people didn't want to lug around that large 15-inch computing platform any more, plus the attractive price points."
"This is a new category for desktop PCs, at least the category we're targeting," he added. "There's not a lot of players out there. So we're hoping there's an opportunity to duplicate what we saw last year with netbooks."
The ViewSonic VPC100 is available now from ViewSonic resellers.

For Hannah's birthday, she wanted pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Whenever I make pancakes, I will sometimes make different shapes, like silver dollar pancakes (we call them baby pancakes) and pancake strips. Occasionally I'll try to make an "E" or an "H", but this usually doesn't turn out well. Here's some of the shapes:
Then I thought, "Why couldn't we have a strip of bacon in there?" I asked Hannah and Emma if they would want that, and they responded with an enthusiastic "Yeah!". So the first try, I made a strip and put a piece of bacon on top of it.
This actually didn't work as well as I thought. When the pancake went to be flipped, the other side was uneven from the bacon, so it wouldn't lay flat. So the next try, I laid down the bacon and poured batter over that. Once it cooked for a while, I flipped it, giving me this:
That's much better. And here's a picture of the birthday girl enjoying this awesome treat:

Yeah he's an asshole.
Looking back, Bobby was a hell of a coach bringing Arkansas from nothing to #5 in the nation before he got caught screwing a 26 year old student on his payroll. Plus the epic motorcycle crash. lol
Sometimes you have to just lay there like a jackass in a hail storm and take it.--Lyndon Johnson
Gotta feel bad for the kid that threw 9 TDs and still lost. Especially to a shitty team like 2019 UCLA
Yeah, WSU lost like 6 turnovers in the 2nd half and the Bruins QB just kept throwing bombs downfield that always found the mark. It was absolutely insane to watch.
No shit the Cougars were up 49-17 in the 3rd quarter and nobody in Martin stadium was even paying attention anymore. Game was over. Time to party!!
Less than 10 minutes later it was 49-46 and the place sounded like a library.
6 turnovers in 1 half is all it took for Chip Kelly to win a game. Seems sustainable.
