Comments Off on A Seattle midcentury home is restored to its original brilliance with a modern twist
When a young family reached out to Seattle-based design studio SHED Architecture & Design and interior designer Jennie Gruss for a redesign of their 1957 midcentury home in the city, the designers responded with a restoration that also integrated new, modern details. Named the Hillside Midcentury, the home saw an interior remodel that leaned heavily on a mix of natural timber and brick to create a homey atmosphere. Contemporary furnishings, clean lines and an abundance of glazing help give the home a fresh and youthful spirit. Originally designed by Pacific Northwest architect Arnold Gangnes, the existing home had a fairly open layout with an airy feel that embraced the outdoors and featured two floors with mirrored floor plans, a common architectural design in the 1950s. "[We] did not make any major structural changes but instead updated the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms to better align with the family's living patterns," the team said. Outside, the firm also added a large deck, updated patio and green roof. Timber wraps the interior with the original hardwood preserved in the living room and dining room. To break up the wood motif in the kitchen, the architects inserted maroon laminate cabinets from Beech Tree Woodworks for a splash of color. The exposed ceiling beams and datum are painted black to give a strong sense of structure to the house. Related: Old horse stable transformed into a chic art studio and guesthouse In addition to the updated materials and furnishings, some of the most notable changes can be seen in the updated floor layouts. On the basement level, the spacious living room was split up into a guest bedroom, mudroom and media room. Upstairs, one of the original bedrooms was converted into a large master bath, while the existing bathrooms were modified into a walk-in closet. Perhaps most impressively, the architects turned an old tool shed into an indoor swimming pool topped with a green roof . + SHED Architecture & Design Images via Rafael Soldi, exterior via SHED

Century-old Japanese townhouse reborn as Blue Bottle Coffees first Kyoto location
Comments Off on Century-old Japanese townhouse reborn as Blue Bottle Coffees first Kyoto location
Japanese architecture firm Schemata Architects has unveiled Blue Bottle Coffee's first outpost in Kyoto – and it's housed in a century-old building. Following the aesthetic of the previous Schemata-designed Blue Bottle cafes in Tokyo, the newest location features a minimalist and modern design that takes inspiration from the surrounding urban fabric. The two-story structure was carefully overhauled to allow for new functionality while preserving and exposing historic elements. Completed in March this year, the Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto Cafe is located near the base of Kyoto's forested Higashiyama mountains and along the approach to Nanzen-ji Temple, a Zen Buddhist temple and one of the historic city's top tourist attractions. The cafe was built inside a traditional Japanese townhouse (known as 'machiya') consisting of two separate buildings. Schemata Architects renovated the buildings into a 'Merchandise building' and a 'Cafe building' with a total floor area of nearly 3,500 square feet. As was typical of traditional Japanese architecture at the turn of the 20th century, the original floors of the machiya were raised nearly 20 inches off the ground. To create a seamless appearance and to accommodate patrons with special mobility needs, the Blue Bottle Cafe's architects demolished the raised wooden floors and made them level with the ground. The new floors feature terrazzo containing the same type of pebbles used outside. The same terrazzo material was also used in the counters and benches. Related: Tokyo capsule hotel gets a Finnish-inspired refresh and sauna "The floor inside the counter is also level with the customer area to maintain the same eye level between customers and staff following the same concept as the other shops, while integrating Japanese and American cultures at the same time," said the architects. "The continuous white floor is stripped of all unnecessary things and the structure is stripped of existing finishes to expose the original roof structure and clay walls, and one can see traces of its 100-year old history throughout the large, medium and small spaces in the structure originally composed of two separate buildings." The second floor has been converted into an open-plan office with glass frontage. + Schemata Architects Images by Takumi Ota

A 1940s home gets a modern update with reclaimed materials
Comments Off on A 1940s home gets a modern update with reclaimed materials
Australian studio Porter Architects has sensitively restored and updated a 1940s dwelling in Lake Wendouree, Australia into a modern and light-filled family home. Large windows, contemporary furnishings and finishes breathe new life into the Ballarat property, but the clients and architects were also careful to preserve the home's original historic elements as well. As a result, recycled and reclaimed materials were used throughout the renovation. Renovations can often be stressful affairs, especially when it comes to older properties like the Lake Wendouree House. Fortunately, however, clients Tom and Meeghan McInerney bought a home that had been extremely well looked after. Its previous owners were two sisters who had lived there for 60 years and kept detailed records for maintenance. Careful upkeep also meant that the original timber paneling and decorative plasterwork were kept in pristine condition. However, the home felt too dark for the couple, who wanted a home that not only was filled with natural light , but would also embrace the outdoors. To preserve the existing architecture as much as possible, Porter Architects created a contemporary extension that opens up to the north-facing backyard and timber patio through large windows and a folding operable glass wall. The Lake Wendouree House's original front, which they kept intact, contains bedrooms, bathrooms and a study, while the new addition serves as the heart of the home with an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and living room. Unsurprisingly, the client's favorite room is the light-filled kitchen that features a marble backsplash and counters. Related: Mid-century Dutch farmhouse gets a bold contemporary makeover To match the existing hardwood floors found in the original structure, the architects installed recycled floorboards in the rear extension. To give the traditional brick exterior a modern refresh, the architects added timber paneling and added reclaimed 1940s bricks in a contemporary pattern. The extension's minimalist interior features whitewashed walls, timber paneling and furniture, and contemporary furnishings and fittings. + Porter Architects Images by Derek Swalwell

The United States' first Passive Plus House generates nearly all the energy it needs
Comments Off on The United States' first Passive Plus House generates nearly all the energy it needs
This beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn has been refurbished into the first Passive Plus House in the United States. Located in Carroll Gardens, 78 Third Place features an impressive array of cutting-edge renewable technologies wrapped in a thoughtful renovation that preserves the original home's historic character. The house, remodeled by Baxt Ingui Architects , saves 80 to 90 percent of the energy needed to heat and cool the building and nearly reaches net-zero energy consumption. The Brooklyn townhouse was originally built in the early 1900s. Baxt Ingui Architects expanded the building to include a new third floor with a mansard and a modern rear addition that nearly doubles the brownstone's original footprint. "The homeowners' goal was to create a beautiful, open and inviting home suitable for everyday living and entertaining as well as respecting the historic character of the original house while incorporating high-performance construction," the architects wrote. "They emphasized the need for abundant natural light throughout the home as well as an open flow when designing indoor/outdoor living spaces." Related: Park Slope row home renovation marries historic charm with energy-conserving features The architects collaborated with a team of six contractors, three engineers, Passive House consultants and eco-conscious clients to make the upgrades. Baxt Ingui Architects installed low E and argon-filled triple-glazed windows, cellulose insulation and a 387-square-foot Brooklyn Solarworks solar canopy to help offset the home's energy needs. The well-sealed townhouse is also equipped with a very quiet Energy Recovery Ventilation system, an air-to-air heat pump and an improved gas-condensing boiler. + Baxt Ingui Architects Via ArchDaily Images © John Muggenborg Photography

Comments Off on Former garment factory next to NYC's High Line to be topped with new green spaces
The Warehouse , a massive multi-unit complex a mere stone's throw away from the High Line in New York City, is getting a facelift. A garment factory in a previous life, the 65,000-square-foot space at 520 West 20th Street currently houses a parking garage and art galleries. But Elijah Equities , the real-estate firm that is redeveloping the building, has grander plans. With the help of Morris Adjmi Architects , Elijah Equities is looking to transform the Warehouse into 100,000 square feet of office and retail space. The proposed increase in footprint will require the addition of three steel-framed, cantilevered stories to the existing four. More than 18,000 square feet of rooftop space will crown the new steel-and-glass extension, which will appear to float above the original unit on a pair of elevator and stairway cores. Related: New renderings of Studio Gang's Solar Carve building reveal a faceted jewel that hugs the High Line The rear of the building will also be subject to readjustments. Planned upgrades include bigger windows, open floor plans, and plenty of outdoor space. "My intent was to capture the spirit of the original warehouse and develop a creative tension between the powerful brick-and-mortar base and the elegant new addition," Morris Adjmi told Arch Daily . "I wanted to connect these two beautiful structures without simply fusing them together." Related: Check out the vibrant outdoor art gallery coming to NYC's High Line park The abundant greenery "draws parallels" from the High Line next door, Adjmi added.

Comments Off on ExxonMobil exhorts White House to keep Paris agreement
When a fossil fuel company under fire for covering up past knowledge of climate change exhorts the President of the United States to stay in the 2015 Paris agreement , something's not quite right. ExxonMobil manager of environmental policy and planning Peter Trelenberg wrote a letter to the White House earlier this month reiterating ExxonMobil's position on the deal. He made it clear ExxonMobil thinks President Donald Trump should not pull out of the historic, hard-fought agreement. On the campaign trail Trump promised to yank the United States out of the Paris agreement. But so far the White House hasn't taken that step, even in a recent environmentally devastating executive order . Meanwhile Trump's new Secretary of State, former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson , has said in the past the president is wrong about climate change , and perhaps could have now persuaded Trump to stick with the deal. Related: Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson says Trump is wrong about climate change On March 22, Trelenberg wrote to G. David Banks, Special Assistant to the President for International Energy and Environment, thanking Banks for a recent inquiry on the oil and gas giant's views regarding the agreement. Trelenberg said ExxonMobil welcomed the agreement both in December 2015, when it was announced at COP21 , and in November 2016 when it went into force. Don't get too excited – Trelenberg didn't write off fossil fuels altogether. He said, "We believe that the United States is well positioned to compete within the framework of the Paris Agreement, with abundant low-carbon resources such as natural gas , and innovative private industries, including the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors." Trelenberg said natural gas is the "cleanest-burning and least carbon-intensive fossil fuel" that has helped American attain 20-year lows in carbon dioxide emissions . He did point out ExxonMobil has invested $7 billion in lower emission fuels – such as biofuels made from algae – for around 15 years, and ended his letter with a final call to stay in the Paris agreement. The irony of the ExxonMobil letter prompted Senator Bernie Sanders to tweet : "It is pathetic that the largest oil company in the world understands more about climate change than the president of the United States."

Trumps EPA chief lifts ban on pesticide that poisons children
Comments Off on Trumps EPA chief lifts ban on pesticide that poisons children
As part of the Trump administration's current war to overthrow Obama-era environmental regulations, this week, newly appointed EPA Chief Scott Pruitt signed an order reversing a recommendation to ban a pesticide linked to nervous system damage in children. Chlorpyrifos is sprayed on tree nuts, soybeans, corn, wheat, apples, citrus, and a number of other common crops. In recent years, researchers have found that chlorpyrifos exposure on foods, in drinking water, and in the air can impair cognitive development in children. (Given that the active chemical is related to nerve agent weapons, perhaps this should not be surprising.) Multiple studies have found that children exposed to the pesticide at high levels have lower IQ scores than their peers. In light of the evidence, much of it gathered by the EPA's own researchers, the agency adopted a "zero tolerance" policy for any residues of the chemical left on food items in 2015. Since it's impossible to completely remove the chemical, this would have effectively ended its use in the US. This followed a decade of restrictions that have gradually reduced the number of approved crops and circumstances for its use. Despite the risk, it's still used widely in other countries. Related: EPA chief says carbon dioxide is not a 'primary contributor' to global warming Now, Scott Pruitt is ignoring his own agency's research in order to allow farmers to continue using this toxic pesticide. Of course, that's not the way he's spinning it – if you ask him, it's a win for the scientific process. In a statement about the order, he said, "By reversing the previous administration's steps to ban one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, we are returning to using sound science in decision-making — rather than predetermined results." The Natural Resources Defense Council has already pledged to fight the new action in court. Via LA Times Images via Pixabay ( 1 , 2 )

CITY OF NEWBURGH — Former Newburgh Free Academy boys basketball coach Frank Dinnocenzio will be recommended to the Board of Education Tuesday to return to lead the program.
Superintendent Roberto Padilla confirmed Friday that he will support a district hiring committee's decision to select Dinnocenzio, who was the head coach during the school's class-cutting scandal during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, as the top candidate of three applicants, including recent coach Matt Brown. The school board is expected to vote on the recommendation Tuesday following a public forum.
The Times Herald-Record reported Newburgh's six most prominent players from the 2009-10 season accumulated a combined 1,187 class cuts through the first three quarters of the school year. Class-cutting was also prominent during the Goldbacks' 2008-09 state championship title run.
Dinnocenzio has denied knowing anything about his players skipping school.
"The report that we reviewed cleared him," said Padilla, who was not superintendent at the time of the scandal. "We have a process in place. The committee chose him. We reviewed what took place back then and he's been coaching in our district the entire time."
Dinnocenzio has served as an assistant coach in football, girls basketball and boys lacrosse at Newburgh since the school board denied previous athletic director Jack Mager's recommendation for him to coach the boys basketball team for the 2011-12 season.
"It's not that I don't get that it's a concern for people," Padilla said of the potential rehiring of Dinnocenzio. "I'm fully aware of that and people have made me aware of that. They have called, emailed and come and sat down to make me aware of that and equally I have had the same amount of people, if not more, come and share their support."
Padilla said measures have been put in place since the scandal to prevent it from happening again. He said the district added an assistant athletic director and two attendance aides assigned to the athletic department.
"(They) are responsible daily for going and checking and connecting with students and making sure they are where they are supposed to be and they are excelling in the classroom," Padilla said.
After a first round of interviews with Dinnocenzio, Brown and jayvee coach Shawn Coffey, the head coaching position was advertised again on Sept. 21.
Brown had led Newburgh to the Section 9 Class AA playoffs in six of his seven seasons. Brown previously said his teams have met attendance and grade requirements set by the school board since his appointment. He established a tutoring program for his players. The basketball team has a 98 percent graduation rate during Brown's seven years, he has said.
The school board's vote will come less than a month before Newburgh opens preseason practice on Nov. 5. Padilla said athletic director Edgar Glascott recently supervised an open gym for the basketball team at the high school.

Bullying: Protect Gays, and Others Who Are Vulnerable
To the Editor:
Joleen Hanlon's Commentary "A Tragic Lesson in Anti-Gay Bullying" (May 27, 2009) highlights the terrible fallout from hurtful words and harassment against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, or LGBT, youths. In it, she emphasizes how sexual orientation often is the reason for bullying in schools.
I agree that schools are very much in need of age-appropriate, research-based programs that can help children understand and respect diversity, and can encourage an inclusive environment. Exclusion is not acceptable, and hate language and homophobic attitudes must be eliminated.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that many students who are targets of anti-gay bullying have not identified themselves as LGBT, as was the case in the essay's example of Carl Walker-Hoover, a Massachusetts 6th grader who committed suicide. Hate language is used not just against LGBT students, but against many victims of bullying, and it is too limiting to define and react to the suicides of Carl and other students targeted for being perceived as gay as anti-gay harassment. It is not enough to rely only on organizations such as the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network for education and protection. Bullying, both anti-gay and for other reasons, affects millions of children nationwide.
Adults need to look out for LGBT youths, but also for any students who may be especially susceptible to bullying. They may include children with disabilities, those who are overweight or new to the community, or children who don't "fit in." Be alert to warning signs, engage in ongoing conversations with children about bullying, teach all students the skills and strategies necessary for bullying prevention, intervene when bullying happens, and make sure children know that adults can help.
All young people deserve to be treated with respect, and none deserves to be bullied.

La Costanera Restaurant Granted Permit for Outdoor Patio
On 9/13/18 the California Coastal Commission (CCC) approved an amendment to the popular Montara Beach restaurant's Coastal Development Permit, allowing use of the lower patio, which was built without permits in 2008. To mitigate for parking impacts on public beach access, a condition of approval requires the applicant to improve the adjacent State Parks informal dirt parking lot. The parking lot improvements must be completed within two years, but the restaurant will be allowed to seat patrons on their patio immediately. (staff report, exhibits)
Other public access improvements around the restaurant are planned for construction in the coming months, including improved public access trail, view seating areas and clear signage indicating the shared beach access parking in the restaurant lots. These were included in the consent agreement between the CCC and the property owners in March 2017, which resolved a range of long-standing Coastal Act violations at La Costanera.
MCC has expressed concerns about the deteriorating rip-rap that was permitted by the County in 1984 to protect the restaurant from erosion. As a condition of the County Use Permit amendment for the patio a year ago, a rip-rap repair plan is required from the property owner within one year (by Oct 2018). Removal of excess view-blocking boulders from the bluff top will be considered in that assessment.

Welcome to the website of the project ROGER
Academic genres at the crossroads of tradition and internationalization: Corpus-based interlanguage research on genre use in student writing at Romanian universities
ROGER is a research project whose aim is to develop a methodology for the analysis of academic writing genres at Romanian universities in a contrastive perspective: genres written in Romanian versus genres written in English. This will help us understand what and how students write at university level in both English and Romanian and contrast writing in the native tongue to writing in a foreign language. The project will also result in a searchable corpus which will be used for further research.
The research in the ROGER project would not be possible without the substantial grant awarded to the project coordinator, Dr Madalina Chitez, by the Swiss National Science Foundation, in the frame of the program PROMYS, for a period of five years (2017-2022).
- Aim
The aim of the project is to identify, analyse, measure and evaluate relevant rhetoric and linguistics features of the same genres written in either of the two languages (native Romanian, L2 English) in order to determine the degree of similarity or divergence from similar writings of native English speakers (L1 English).
- Background
The study is built on several theoretical traditions contributing to the implementation of the research framework, such as corpus linguistics, contrastive linguistics, contrastive rhetoric, writing in the disciplines and writing in English as Foreign Language. While typical learner-corpus Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis, as developed by Granger (1996), mainly compares learner output with the output of native speakers of English, our project extends this perspective by including a mother-tongue corpus, thus adding a third data set for comparison. In this scenario, the corpus of student texts written in Romanian (ROGER-RO) will be contrasted with the corpus of student texts in English L2 (ROGER-EN) and academic texts in English L1 (BAWE and/or MICUSP), resulting in an experimental corpus-based triangulation of data which we call Contrastive-Interlanguage-to-Native-Language-Analysis (CINLA, see Chitez, 2014, p. 220).
- Corpus
As a basis for the cross-linguistic analysis, a new corpus, called ROGER (corpus of ROmanian academic GEnRes) will be compiled. It consists of (planned five) academic genre families collected in parallel from several Romanian universities, in English and in Romanian. The corpus compilation stage will be preceded by a questionnaire-based assessment of genre use at several universities, where examples of genres are collected and data on their usage are gathered. These data will be used not only to determine which genres should be included in the corpus but also to perform the procedure of genre mapping at Romanian universities.
After the corpus has been collected and processed, the two core research units of the project will be addressed from a Romanian-English contrastive perspective: (a) rhetorical characteristics: knowledge construction and rhetorical moves, author roles, hedging, metadiscourse, citation practices and text structures; (b) linguistic features: lexico-grammatical profile and academic phrases.
- Outcomes
We very much hope that the results of our project will be of interest to experts in areas such as corpus linguistics, contrastive analysis, academic writing and, particularly, Romanian applied corpus linguistics. They will include:
- the mapping of writing genres used in Romanian higher education in both English and Romanian, in several disciplines
- a searchable corpus of academic writing genres in English and Romanian
- an understanding of rhetorical and linguistic features of the Romanian students' academic writing in English and Romanian
- a research method that bridges the gap between genre-based contrastive studies and learner-corpus approaches

Last year, we made our first Top 10 games of the year list and since then I have been looking forward to the next one. We are seeing a lot of incredible games being launched on the mobile platform across different genres, and it has never been a better time to be a mobile gamer or to write about them.
This year too we have a solid collection of games for you. Games you may have seen in our reviews or our top apps and games of the week lists. It was both fun and difficult to go back through these and pick out the contenders for the best games of the year list, and then slowly whittle down that list to only ten. It would have been even tougher had I actually played all the games that came out this year, but considering that's impossible, you may find some names missing here, some you may have played and thought were worth including. But that aside, I think we have a pretty good collection here for you this year, so do take a look and let us know what you think in the comments. 2015 was a pretty great year for gaming. Hopefully, 2016 is even better.
10. Angry Birds 2
Never thought you'd see an Angry Birds game in this list? Well, neither did I. However, credit where credit is due. After milking the franchise every way possible for many years, Rovio finally managed to churn out a worthy sequel to the original that retained what was fun about the original game while introducing enough new elements to keep things fresh and interesting. Angry Birds had stopped being fun long ago, that is until Angry Birds 2 came out and I did spend an inordinate amount of time on this game, far more than I had expected, and for that it gets a place on our list.

It is clear that IAMDDB (acronym of I Am Diana DeBrito) was born to be a star. She has it all: sound, image, flow, talent and groove. She calls what she does "urban jazz", and it's not a bad definition, but in reality her music touches upon styles from r&b to pop, going through hip-hop, soul or even trap, as can be heard on her most recent hit, Shade. To put it another way: IAMDDB is contemporary urban music: refreshingly new and universal, capable of reaching a wide audience but without making concessions to conventional production clichés. At only 21 years old, this proud resident of Manchester, with Portuguese and Angolan roots, has burst onto the urban scene in the UK and is the name on everyone's lips. She has just been chosen by the BBC as one of the artists to be watch in 2018 and her latest mixtape,"Hoodrich Vol. 3", is a perfect example of her great potential. On Saturday, in SonarVillage, all eyes will be on her.

Why Piemonte, Tuscany's Lovely Stepsister, Is the Perfect Wine Trip Right Now
At harvest time in northern Italy, layers of fog drift romantically over hillside vineyards of ripened nebbiolo grapes. Those from five tiny villages near Alba, the sleepy capital of the Langhe region of Piemonte, will go into the countrys greatest red wine, Barolo.
Right now, the crisp autumn air is accented with the odors of wood smoking, pungent, fermenting wine, and the fragrant, earthy-musky perfume of white truffles, sold at an annual marketplace in Alba during October and November.
What could be better than wine and truffles at the source? The combo constructs such regions, the home of the Slow Food movement, a gourmands paradise, especially during harvest season.
Check out the rest of our 2016 Wine Harvest Special or the most recent news, reviews, and buying tips-off.

In this passage Israel is attacked by the Amalekites and fights against them. She wins by God's power. We are at a different point in the history of salvation, but the battles that we fight against our spiritual enemies have the same significance and they are won only through Christ who has won the victory on the cross.

Ten Reasons
Hire An Artist
Peter Funt, 3/28/2017 [
Trump Boosts Cable's Fortunes
Trump Boosts Cable's Fortunes
By Peter Funt
During the campaign, Donald Trump famously conceded that he gets much of his information about world affairs from "the shows." Incredibly, the impact made on Trump's thinking by what he sees on television is even more profound now that he's the leader of the free world.
The latest example was a gem: Trump made a direct appeal to his millions of Twitter followers that they watch a weekend show on Fox News Channel hosted by Jeanine Pirro. Hours later, Pirro began her program by demanding that House Speaker Paul Ryan resign over his botched handling of the health care bill.
It's one thing to glean facts from cable programs, it's quite another to use them to send a political message or float a trial balloon. For what it's worth, the White House insists Trump had no idea what Pirro was intending to say. You be the judge.
Then there was Trump's explanation for why he claimed Barack Obama ordered wiretaps at Trump Tower. "All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind," said Trump, "who was the one responsible for saying that on television."
The reference was to a commentator, Andrew Napolitano, whom the president had seen on Fox News Channel. The whole thing was so ludicrous that Fox refuted Napolitano's claims and promptly suspended him.
Trump is not alone in his fascination with cable news: ratings since he took office are up dramatically. In the first quarter of this year, FNC is up 28 percent; MSNBC is up 51 percent, and CNN is up 11 percent.
MSNBC's jump was the largest, year-to-year, in cable-TV history. CNN, meanwhile, had its most-watched quarter in 14 years. And Fox? Well, it achieved its biggest quarterly increase in the channel's history, dating back to 1996.
What are we to make of this? For one thing, the daily drama of a flailing presidency makes good theater.
Beyond that, the channel with closest ties to the party out of power usually gains viewers----which is why Fox profited handsomely during the Obama years, and why MSNBC is now a magnet for Democrats frustrated by Trump.
Rachel Maddow's highly promoted but underwhelming program in which she "revealed" two pages of a Trump tax return drew her largest audience ever: 4.2 million. It helped catapult Maddow into cable's Top 10 for the first time, but older viewers probably found it reminiscent of Geraldo Rivera's live examination in 1986 of Al Capone's empty vault.
Speaking of relating to older viewers, the most engaging discussions of Trump's affairs are taking place on Don Lemon's CNN program. The semi-regulars are none other than Carl Bernstein, the Washington Post's ace Watergate reporter, and Nixon's Watergate counsel, the remarkably well-preserved and articulate John Dean. Some nights they are joined by the Post's legendary know-it-all Sally Quinn.
Also worthy in covering DC's disarray is Brian Williams' nightly series on MSNBC. Void of the constant whining that spoils the efforts of Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, Williams does a sharp, no nonsense examination of events, with enlightened guests.
Give Trump credit: he saved Williams' career. NBC had benched Williams for making false boasts about his coverage of dramatic events, but then gradually allowed him back on cable during the 2016 campaign. Now he's MSNBC's most solid citizen.
As for Fox, its diehards, led by Sean Hannity, continue to blast Trump's critics and defend even his most egregious misstatements. But elsewhere on FNC, anchors such as Shepard Smith are becoming bolder in taking the new president to task.
Even more surprising was a FNC "town hall" recently in North Carolina, hosted by Martha MacCallum. Unlike previous FNC events in which the questions seemed carefully screened to protect Trump, this program featured an articulate audience of Trump critics.
Despite the example set by the president, none of us should rely too heavily on cable channels for hard news. Moreover, we must avoid Trump's mistake of quoting the opinions offered as matters of fact.
That said, it's hard to beat cable-TV news these days for prime-time drama and comedy.

At the end of the day, a brand should own and manage its relationships with customers. It's not the kind of job a third party, even an agency, should handle for the long-term at least. The ultimate benefit of social media is observed when its built into the way a company does business, and having a third party between the brand and its customers makes putting that into practice difficult, if not impossible.
The best example of this is with community management. Many brands outsource all of this, not just for the short-term but indefinitely, which ultimately means the brand is missing the point of social media. It allows a brand to get closer to its consumers, and the less involved a brand is, the further away consumers are.
Agencies Can Help
Don't get me wrong. Agencies can and do help in managing relationships, especially at the beginning of a social media program when time and personnel are in short supply. An agency can play that role in facilitating customer relationships, putting processes in place, training internal staff and making sure all the pieces are in place before the end handoff to the brand. Having an agency manage customer relationships at the beginning allows for action to be taken while the kinks are worked out and processes are implemented.
Agencies can help, but over the long-term it's an unsustainable model. No matter how great the agency is, it can never know the ins and outs of a business and be able to manage customer relationships quite like the people behind the brand. So use agencies to fill in gaps, but don't let them become a crutch.
Plan for the Transition
A transition plan and timeline should be in place for any social media program that includes a third party maintaining relationships with customers. Understand who can take over internally, what will be required of them, how they'll do their job and what tools they'll need. An agency should be able to provide all of that information or at least a recommendation as well as the necessary training to execute it. The transition is part of a brand's evolution from doing social to becoming social.
Understand the Long-Term Vision for Roles
It comes down to evolving to have every player where its strongest and most valuable. The people behind a brand know their consumers and should be the ones developing the relationships with them. It gives them direct access to their customers and gives consumers the ability to connect with the brand easier than it would have been with a third party between them.
On the other side of the coin, it puts agencies where they can be most valuable, being strategic experts and providing guidance on where a brand should go and what it should do to see further success through social media. Let agencies bring the expertise on strategy and marketing tools and brands be the experts on their customers. The balance is a potent combination.

As the memory of this summer's sporting carnival fades into a pleasant haze of taut thighs and cobblestone abs, it is very important to ignore the BBC and to remind yourself that the world has not fundamentally changed. That despite the heroics of our strapping Olympians there is still a place out there for the undersized and the flabby. That the genetic lottery does not bless everyone with the musculature of Hercules and the inquisitiveness of a coal-face, and that we can't all have a career in throwing stuff. In some realms the diminutive, the fleshy, the slow of metabolism and short of stature are still lauded, and indeed, lusted after. So console yourselves my lardy, low-legged readers – if you were a male moorhen you'd definitely be getting laid.
I have been watching moorhens a lot this year. Once-upon-a-time I worked in an office and would waste days in gazing out of the window, fantasising about working outside. Now I work outside there ain't no windows, so I gaze at moorhens instead (Kids – try not to confuse being lazy with being in the wrong career). Anyway, moorhens lead an Amazonian existence; the usual sexual politics of the avarian world are backwards; hefty females fight for cowering males, the dominant hen winning the right to any partner she fancies. Often she will plump for the smallest and least-well built mate around. It makes sense; she will do most of the foraging and he will do the incubating – muscle is a calorie hungry commodity and fuelling it prevents that lovely soft insulating fat from being deposited. Why waste all those raw eggs feeding a Usain Bolt when what's needed is a hot water bottle with testicles?
(This method of sexual selection may well develop in our own species. When men are no longer required to push over trees and women become the major bread winners girls will boast about their new man as one would the fuel efficiency of a car "oh e's awfully cheap to run, I get an whole month out of one omelette.")
After the fighting comes a very short bit of sex and a long period of nest building. I missed the sex this year, but was around to see the happy couple spend a languid fortnight stripping every leaf from our recently planted stand of Iris pseudacorus. After incorporating just four leaves into their twiggy platform, the rest hurtfully discarded, a clutch of eggs appeared. There followed an anxious three-week wait, my nights beset by fears of sterility and swimming foxes, before I finally got to see the six little new born chicks eaten by magpies. Such is nature.
But as any athlete will tell you, practice make perfect. Couldn't hurl your pointed stick far enough? Just spend the next four years chucking stuff about and try again. Couldn't raise any of your half-dozen offspring in the past two-days? Have another batch and try again. These birds are nothing if not quixotic; come magpies, come herons, come foxes and cats, come pike, mink, otters and rats, my moorhens shall succour you all.
The pair under my supervision are now onto their third brood of the year. Just one of batch 2.0 escaped the myriad predators and reached young adulthood, but this lone survivor affords me a view of ornithology's most beautiful sight – moorhen sibling care. I'm currently witnessing a bird that I've watched and worried about since she was a defenceless black dot of fluff start instinctively taking on responsibility for protecting and feeding her younger brothers and sisters. Despite juvenile moorhens being exceptionally ugly birds, all oversize feet and mud-brown plumage, and despite the young bird misguidedly feeding the baby chicks almost exclusively on small white pieces of gravel, it is a deeply moving sight.
When winter eventually rolls into Highgate the young birds will develop the characteristic black foliage and red bills of the adult moorhen, and will leave the nest, the parents and our garden, and I'll have nothing to gaze at anymore. Maybe I'll even get round finishing that lawn I came out here to edge back in April. Speaking of which – sorry about the lack of horticulture this post; until next time just plant everything in moist but well drained soil. Full sun.

Tampa correspondent
(785) 965-2285
Leo Yanda, representing the Tampa PRIDE committee, told Tampa City Council members on Aug. 6 that PRIDE arranged for the placement of three new "Welcome to Tampa" signs before the Aug. 25 Quasquicentennial celebration.
The signs will be silhouettes of covered wagons, similar to the big Tampa sign on K-15. Manufactured by Plasma Designs of Newberry, S.C., the signs will replace the signs at the south city limit on Limestone and the east and west city limits on 330th. Text on the signs will say "Welcome to TAMPA on The Santa Fe Trail," with the town name in larger letters.
Yanda said PRIDE also purchased a Tampa Activities sign with the same covered wagon motif and will place it on the front of the fire station. Special events will be posted on the 30" X 45" board. The price tag for the entire project was $3669, paid for by the PRIDE committee.
David Mueller and Teresa Huffman offered the council information about the city's new website. The site has been arranged through the county at no cost to the city of Tampa. The city will be responsible for maintaining the site and may need to pay a small fee for a domain name.
County Commission Chairman Dan Holub attended the meeting to hear any concerns about roads or other issues from council members. He said the new roads surrounding Tampa would soon be equipped with center and side stripes for better visibility.
Ty Peterson presented a plan to the council for a temporary beer garden to surround the Tampa Cafe on Aug. 25 during Quasquicentennial events. The council and mayor approved the plan. Huffman offered to lend tents for shade on the south side on the cafe, on the condition that they be staked or held firmly down.
Council members approved the 2013 proposed budget presented by Mayor Tim Svoboda with the mill levy at the same level as last year.
Svoboda reported to the council about his discussion with Sheriff Rob Craft about the city's problem of dogs running loose despite Tampa's leash law.
"The council needs to pass an ordinance providing that any loose dog will be captured, held for ten days at the owner's expense, and then euthanized if unclaimed, also at the owner's expense," Svoboda said.
The council advised Svoboda to solicit aid from city attorney Chris Costello, in drafting the ordinance. Once it is in place the council will look towards enforcement.

Have you ever dreamt about being a model? You certainly could if you simply know of the same techniques that professional models in the like of Tyra Banks use. But did you also know that the harmonious working relationship of models and photographers brings about striking photos that would make you look like a professional model in your own right?
As a model, you may have many ideas as to how you want to express yourself in the photo. However, it's the photographer that sees how you really look like through their lenses. That's why their inputs are very crucial. And it's why models expect the photographers to give them direction as far as posing is concerned. It's their experience that sets professional photographers apart from the amateurs.
Posing Like a Model
If you want to look good in a photograph then you should know of the basic modeling poses suggested below. They can help you greatly in your poses. Everybody can practically be a model if each one only knows of these posing techniques:
- Copy the pose of professionals.
You surely have tons of magazines at home and each page shows a confident model promoting a product. Copy the poses of these models because as professionals, they can't go wrong, can they? Find a good pose from one of your favorite models on the magazine and copy it in front of the mirror so you can see how you look and adjust everything as necessary. Keep on trying until you do it right.
- Don't look directly at the camera.
Looking directly at the camera only causes the red-eye effect. To reduce such effect, look at the direction of your nose instead. Your eyes will still be pointing where you want it but there will be more colors and contrasts in the photo instead of that nasty red-eye effect.
- Mind your shoulders.
You may not realize it, but the angle of your shoulders can drastically improve the way you look. A square shoulder looks better than a slumped shoulder. Always keep them bouncing. Make it a habit to pop up your shoulders and point it forward and see how that turns out.
- Smile with your mouth open.
An open mouth is way better than a closed mouth. If your mouth is closed, then your jawline clenches and that adds unnecessary weight to the sides of your face. It also makes you look bored or neutral. Try different poses with your mouth open and closed to see the difference.
- Get moving.
Sometimes you want your entire body to be included in the shot but just standing up there looks too boring. You have to realize that you can do a lot of poses if you simply move. Put your feet up, jump, stretch your arms, and move your hips. The more movements you do the more nice poses you'll think of.
These are just a few things that you can do and if you need more help, consult with an expert in Sunrise model portraits. Working with professional photographers will definitely help you improve how you look in your photos.
