Requirements of Eco-Reinforcement
The Eco-Reinforcement Standard assesses against a number of different requirements within three categories: Organisational management requirements, Supply chain management requirements, and Environmental & social management requirements.
The organisational, supply chain, environmental and social criteria, are either defined as compulsory or voluntary which can also be 'tradeable'. Certificates are awarded on a 'Pass', 'Good', 'Very good' and 'Excellent' scale based on the number of points awarded for different performance levels. Assessments can be undertaken for single products/sites, multiple products/sites or entire organisations.
- Organisational and supply chain criteria
The correct management systems are critical to enable suppliers to establish, implement and maintain procedures that address responsible sourcing principles. Organisations certified to the Eco-Reinforcement Standard will have policies and procedures in place for addressing their responsible sourcing commitments and legal requirements. They will also have certified quality management systems to ISO 9001 or equivalent and a system for approving and recording suppliers. Furthermore, the organisation must demonstrate that a high percentage of suppliers operate in compliance with international human rights legislation.
However the principle of Responsible Sourcing is not solely based around the individual organisation, rather it goes much further incorporating the complete supply chain i.e. from the source of the raw materials used in the production of the assessed product, through to end use. A high percentage of materials within the assessed product will be traceable back to source, and organisations throughout the supply chain of the product will operate under recognised quality, environmental and health & safety management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
- Environmental and social criteria
Responsible sourcing addresses not only the environmental impacts of a product but also the social impacts occurring as a result of the manufacturing/fabricating process. Organisations producing Eco-Reinforcement certified products will be committed to measuring their environmental and social impacts against a formal set of metrics and setting targets for their improvement as well as reporting their performance to stakeholders and verifying their data. Depending on the level of certification, a range of the following impacts will be addressed:
- Greenhouse gas emissions
Steel production is a highly energy intensive process. The two common steelmaking methods used worldwide today are the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) method, and the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) approach.
The BOS process involves the smelting of iron ore and coking coal in a blast furnace to make pig iron, which is then refined with scrap metal as part of a secondary steelmaking process to make steel. The EAF process involves the recycling of scrap metal using electricity in furnace to make new steel products.
Consequently, there are significant greenhouse gas emissions associated with both processes, and it is the purpose of certification to the Eco-Reinforcement Standard to commit to and set targets for the reduction of these emissions in line with current reporting mechanisms such as commitment to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the Climate Change Agreement.
- Resource use
All new steel contains an amount of recycled scrap metal, and is fully recyclable. In the case of steel manufactured via the Electric Arc Furnace method of production, 95%+ of the raw materials used to make the steel is recycled scrap metal. In terms of the sourcing of raw materials, organisations are required to demonstrate environmental stewardship at the source for significant constituent materials.
- Waste management
It is estimated that currently around 20-25 million tonnes of construction waste is sent to landfill each year1. As part of the Strategy for Sustainable Construction, UK Government have set a target to reduce this figure by 50%.
In committing to certification to the Eco-Reinforcement Standard, steel mills and fabricators set objectives and targets to effectively manage waste streams through reduction, re-use, recycling and recovery, minimising waste incinerated and disposal to landfill without energy or material recovery.
- Water extraction
During the production of steel reinforcement, large volumes of water are used in order to cool the molten steel and ensure the material properties in the finished product are in line with relevant standards. It is therefore a compulsory requirement that steel mills address the amount of water they use by source, and set targets for reduction where possible.
- Life cycle assessment
There is growing demand from the construction design and sustainable construction community for life cycle analysis (LCA) data, for inclusion in design software and utilisation during the material selection decision making process. The Eco-Reinforcement standard addresses this through a voluntary requirement for manufacturers to have a Type I, II or III environmental product declaration of the reinforcing steel they produce.
While currently reporting LCA data is a voluntary requirement within the standard, there is a growing desire to make this compulsory in the near future, in line with increasing demand for accurate environmental data by designers.
- Transport
Transport impacts are a significant part of the steel reinforcement supply chain, and can contribute significantly to steel mill and steel fabricator overarching environmental impacts. In certain parts of the reinforcing steel supply chain transports impacts can be as significant as the emissions created through steel processing.
As a result of globalised steel markets, even when dealing with a local steel reinforcement fabricator, the hidden transportation impacts can be colossal with raw materials and semi-finished products travelling vast distances before arriving with the fabricator. Often end users will only see and consider the delivery distance from fabricator depot to construction site which is often only the 'tip of the iceberg'.
The Eco-Reinforcement standard has a requirement for all certified companies to calculate and record all transportation emissions, and commit to achieving reduction targets through a process of continuous improvement, and utilisation of more efficient modes of transport.
- Employment and skills
The treatment, welfare and development of employees is an important part of a holistic approach to responsible sourcing. A growing number of clients, designers and contractors are aware of the social impacts that their procurement strategies can have on individuals and communities on a national and international level, and have welcomed the development of responsible sourcing schemes such as BES 6001 and Eco-Reinforcement.
Eco-Reinforcement provides specifiers with the confidence that the reinforcement supply chain is addressing social issues such as employment and skills and has committed to a process of continuous improvement.
- Local communities
Organisations do not operate in isolation. They are an integral part of the communities in which they are located and operate. Steel mills and fabricator organisations have a diverse stakeholder group, of which the local community forms a crucial part. Through the process of local community engagement, these organisations can establish and enhance their relationship with local schools, community groups and others who have an interest in the local environment.
It is a compulsory requirement of Eco-Reinforcement that certified companies commit to a process of stakeholder engagement, including local community groups, to work with these parties to address concerns and provide solutions which have a positive outcome for all concerned.

History Of Bombay Stock Exchange
History Of Bombay Stock Exchange - August 25th, 2005
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is located in Dalal Street, Mumbai. Established in 1875, BSE is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. There are around 3,500 companies in the country which are listed and have a significant trading volume. As of July 2005, the market capitalization of the BSE is about Rs. 20 trillion (US $466 billion). The BSE `Sensex' is a widely used market index for the BSE. As of 2005, it is among the 5 biggest stock exchanges in the world in terms of number of transactions. Along with the NSE, the companies listed on the BSE have a combined market cap of $125.5 Billion.
An informal group of 22 stockbrokers had been trading under a banyan tree opposite the Town Hall of Bombay from mid-1850s. This banyan tree still stands in Horniman Circle Park, Mumbai. This informal group of stockbrokers organized themselves as "The Native Share and Stockbrokers Association" which, in 1875, was formally organized as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). BSE is the oldest stock exchange in Asia, the second being the Tokyo Stock Exchange, established in 1878.
Premchand Roychand was a leading stockbroker of that time, and he assisted in setting out traditions, conventions, and procedures for the trading of stocks at Bombay Stock Exchange and they are still being followed.
Dalal Street
James M. Maclean inaugurated the Brokers' Hall in January 1899. After the First World War, BSE was shifted to an old building, near the Bombay Town Hall and in 1928, the plot on which the BSE building now stands, on Dalal Street, was acquired, and a building was constructed in 1930.
The Bombay Stock Exchange followed the familiar outcry system for stock trading, which was replaced, in the year 1995, with screen-based eTrading. BSE is presently housed in a 28-storied Jeejeebhoy Towers, where the older structure once stood: the present building derives its name from Sir Phiroze Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy, the chairman of the Bombay Stocke Exchange from 1966, until his death in 1980.
BSE Sensex
The BSE Sensex is a value-weighted index composed of 30 companies, with the base April 1979 = 100. The set of companies in the index is essentially fixed. These companies account for around one-fifth of the market capitalization of the BSE.
BSE - other Indices
Apart from BSE Sensex, which is the most popular stock index in India, BSE uses other stock Indices as well:
The stock market has grown by more than four times from January 1990 to today. Using information from April 1979 onwards, the long-run rate of return on the BSE Sensex can be estimated to be 0.52% per week (continuously compounded) with a standard deviation of 3.67%.

The Challenges Today For Practical New Zealand Whey Isolate Tactics
What is it that you do not like about who you are? Are there things about your body that you wish you could change and dwell on? Now is the best time to adjust your mindset so you can start working on your issues, and a good place to begin is your body. Read further to find out some ways you can build muscle more rapidly.
Keep the "big three" exercises in mind when developing your routine. These body-building exercises include dead-lifts, bench presses and squats. This type of exercise will help you develop your bulk and strength as well as condition your body. Try to include variations of these workout staples each time you exercise.
Make sure you are eating enough carbs to support your muscle-building program. Carbohydrates give your body the energy it needs to get you through your muscle development program. Without a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, your body breaks down protein, and those proteins are needed to build muscle mass. Eat just enough carbs to increase your body's function, but don't overdo it as it can lead to weight gain.
Be very cautious if you decide to use creatine in your muscle-building program, particularly if you continue taking it for long periods. If you have any sort of problem with your kidneys, you should not take creatine. Furthermore, creatine has been linked to muscle compartment syndrome, muscle cramps, and heart arrhythmia. People who are still growing are at the greatest risk of potential harm. Always take nutritional supplements cautiously and only as directed.
Don't work on enhancing the size of your muscles if you are taking part in a marathon or participating in extreme cardio workouts. While doing cardio is great for fitness, too much of it may negate your attempts to build muscle through strength training. If your goal is gaining muscle, you should do strength training more often than cardio.
Do as many sets and repetitions as you can during your training. Do fifteen lifts at the minimum with a break of a minute or less in between. You want lactic acids flowing in your muscles, as this promotes muscle growth. The more times you can complete this process during your workout, the more muscle growth you can expect.
If you are trying to build up muscle mass, be sure to get plenty of protein in your diet. Protein is essential to building muscle, and not eating enough protein can actually make you lose muscle mass. It's likely that you'll have to consume around one gram of it for every single pound that you weigh every day.
In each workout, train the opposing muscles. For example, work out your chest and back together, and your hamstrings and quads together. This way, one muscle can get a rest while you are working out the other. You can increase the intensity of your workout to make up for spending less time in the gym.
Make sure that you are consuming enough calories. There are various online calculators that may help you find your needs for how much muscle you want to gain. Use a calculator, and then adjust your diet accordingly.
You can always cheat a bit as you lift weights. When you push out a couple of extra repetitions by using part of your body, you magnify the results of your workout. Cheating a little is okay, but cheating a lot will just be cheating yourself out of great results. Always keep your rep speed controlled. Don't compromise your posture and balance.
Having a strict schedule for your workouts will prevent injuries and help you gain muscle. You shouldn't work out more than three times per week. Beginners should limit hard exercise even further; twice a week is sufficient.
You can tell your muscle building routine is effective if you are becoming stronger from week to week. You can tell if you are stronger by keeping track of the weights and reps you do each workout. If you are new to weight lifting, you should see an increase of approximately 5% in the weight you can lift every other workout session. If you have not been achieving your goals, then take a closer look to see if there is something you are doing wrong. Keep in mind that recovery time is also important though, so you won't see results if you don't give your body some time to rest.
Keep your goals reasonable if you are trying to build muscle. Remember that it takes time to really see results, and your efforts will be worth it in the long run. Using dangerous substances such as steroids or stimulants can permanently damage your organs, leading to ill-health or even death.
Make your short-term goals achievable. While ambitious weight lifting goals may inspire you, be careful to not hurt yourself. Once you know your starting strength, you will be better able to identify appropriate goals. At times, you could surpass the short-term goals that you have set for yourself. This can help build motivation and lead you to never missing a workout.
Although you might want to blast through your workouts at full-speed, it is advisable you do not do this. Slower repetitions of the exercises yield better results. Don't be afraid to trade off for a lighter weight in order to accomplish more reps. A good rule of thumb is to make each exercise half last 5 to 10 seconds, allowing up to a third of a minute per rep.
Keep doing cardio exercises even when focusing on strength training. While cardiovascular exercises do seem technically contradictory to building muscle, they are essential for maintaining heart health. Do three sessions of cardio exercises per week for around twenty minutes per session with a moderate amount of intensity. This will help ensure that your heart remains healthy without negatively impacting your efforts at building muscle.
Use the information you got here to make vast improvements in not only muscle mass, but also to your overall well-being. Not only will your looks improve, but your self-esteem and health will benefit also. Take action today and make changes in your life to better it!
Some Growing Challenges In Locating Indispensable Elements For Whey Protein
That's a very impressive protein-per-calorie ratio. There's not much to talk about with regard to micronutrients. Unlike most whey protein powders I've seen, it has no iron and very little calcium (3 percent of the RDI per serving). It's not particularly high or low in sodium (it has 6 percent of the RDI per serving) but it does have zero cholesterol, which may be important for some consumers. Jay Robb Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Ingredients The first ingredient is cold-processed, cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate. It doesn't say it's grass-fed on the bag, but we called them up and confirmed that it does indeed come from grass-fed cows. The other ingredients are natural flavor, cocoa powder that's been processed without alkali or acid, xanthan gum, lecithin from non-GMO sunflower seeds, and the natural sweetener stevia. Jay Robb Whey Protein Benefits and Effectiveness Does it matter that it's cold-processed? That means the whey hasn't been denatured, but this doesn't really mean much — we denature protein when we consume it anyway, and it actually makes protein more digestible. But there's a market for un-denatured whey protein and if you prefer it, this product has you covered.

HADRIAN Live at the O2 Academy2 Islington
This is it! The best new Rock bands in the UK are gathering on the 25th of August for an explosive show at the O2 Academy Islington. Hadrian will be performing alongside a handful of other incredibly talented musicians. This is promising to be a huge stage show not to be missed.
WHEN: 25th OF AUGUST 2018
Escapade/ Francesca Louise/ Josephine/ Hadrian/ Sertari/ Before Sunday/ Sean Lomas
Heavy guitar riffs that will silence your mind and awaken your body and soul. It's not a lullaby, but it will lull you into action. The head starts moving. Your arms and legs are soon to follow. Before you know it – the music resonates within your entire being. Then the sudden realisation comes – this is special! It's somewhat familiar yet unique. It's highly technical yet designed for fun and release. It's Hadrian.
The perfectly-timed drumming will add another layer of clarity and will surely set you in motion. The beats will keep you grounded in the present, adding another layer of elation to the overall experience. Not tame by any means, you will experience the perfect blend between skilful and savage.
To further enhance the experience, we will leave you in the capable hands of our bass player. The deep, distorted growls of the shiny red Fender will awaken the beast within. But you will not be alone in this. You will share this feeling with your friends and all the excited strangers ready to rock along your side.
Last but not least, the vocals will transport you into a whole other dimension. Illusive yet sincere, the recognisable, powerful and yet soothing voice of the lead singer gives form to the lyrics in an eccentric and almost esoteric way. It teaches, it calls to action, it tells you stories. It captures your senses and incites to have fun.
The moments of silence creep within the sounds, creating space for you to feel the music and move with it!

A few weeks ago I went on one of my regular walks: up the hill through the residential area and to the forest trails beyond. I am extremely fortunate in where I live—twenty minutes of walking gets me on a trail that leaves the houses and streets behind in another fifteen. I head up here usually twice, sometimes three times a week depending on my schedule. From the trail head I can access several peaks or just enjoy a leisurely walk in amongst the alders, cedars and hemlocks. I am, I repeat, extremely fortunate.
I like to consider these trails as my own personal sanctuary. I seldom meet anyone. Sure, I come across the occasional dog walker but as I keep my sojourns to the weekdays my path is usually undisturbed by any of the two legged species. I've seen the occasional bear and a coyote but mostly it is just the squirrels and birds that keep me company.
A few weeks ago, however, my refuge was invaded. I had just crossed a narrow creek bed and climbed the short but steep path on the other side when I spotted some wads of toilet paper. I immediately tensed; I stopped and looked around. Who had done this? A few steps later I found an empty beer bottle, then a plastic bag and, incongruously, a tube of toothpaste. The tension became anger. I picked up the bag and stuffed within it the other pieces of debris. I continued on but was on high alert. I knew that anyone who denigrated nature would have no qualms against disrespecting a person. And although I always carry bear spray I am conscious that I am still a woman alone in the mountains. Bears may be unpredictable but humans, I have no doubt, trump their unpredictability in spades. Still I try to let caution rather than fear rule my path.
Walking slowly up the short rise just beyond the makeshift toilet and bottle dump I spied the campsite. It sprawled over the path and up the hill. I quickly stepped back below possible observation. For a brief moment I considered going forward and confronting these miscreants. I am a strong advocate of "taking back the night" and other such actions that challenge the philosophies that keep women tethered to the safe and known, but I am no fool either. I gathered what garbage I could (excluding the toilet paper) and retreated back the way I had come.
On the walk home and the days that followed it was interesting to note the degree of violation I felt. Not only had my sanctuary been treated with disdain but I felt sullied and, irritatingly so, afraid.
Fear is no stranger to me. In the past I've been afraid of the dark, of men and dogs, bears and a general assortment of authority figures including teachers, cops, and bosses. Over the years I have worked hard at creating a safe inner haven that defeats these fears while physically pushing my limits to challenge them. I have walked and hiked in the dark, camped in the wilderness on an overnight solo trip, and learned how to approach animals with cautious respect. Authority figures can still create an internal tremble but that, too, is far from the fear it was. I like to think I know my fears and can deal with them. So it was with surprise and eventual anger that fear dropped in on me in a place where I had done so much work in confronting my anxieties. I felt enraged that some disrespectful campers/partiers could disrupt my hard earned peace.
Although anger can be a great motivator it took me a while to take back to that trail. A few days lapsed with stewing over the audacity of these individuals. Then there was almost a week of days where I couldn't return due to other commitments and several more days of just plain procrastinating. In all it took two weeks to go back and face my goblins.
I knew the campers wouldn't be there on the day I went up but still I was far more wary than usual. Armed with plastic bags to pick up garbage I slowly hiked back into the hills. Autumn had fallen with alacrity and alder leaves strewed the pathway. Despite this the still air was quiet. Even the birds were silent as I walked through the windless trees and over the drought heavy creeks. As I approached the destination my pace slowed and my senses heightened. I stopped to listen. Silence greeted me. I moved on. With relief I noticed the toilet paper was gone and, clearing the small rise, saw nothing of the blue tarp that had called out like a beacon when the camp was still up. I walked on and saw how others had been there before me. It must have been a work party that descended on the camp as the ground showed the effects of rakes and shovels. I can only imagine what was there before that needed such a cleanup. I toured the area and picked up some missed over odds and ends: broken glass, torn pieces of foil wrappers, cigarette butts and bottle caps. I said a few words of thanks to nature for forgiving the trespass and to the folk for cleaning it up and carried on.
In writing this now I think not so much of the fear but of my arrogance in the surprise I felt when I fell into fear. I thought I had built up enough internal safety that an external event like that would not have disrupted me on such a level. For a few days I was even distrustful of others and cynical of people's behaviour and motivations. True the denigration was in a place I consider a sanctuary. Also true was that the anxiety didn't last but it is interesting the denial and self deception that we can fall into: I didn't think my fears could ignite so quickly and, however temporary they were, be so inhibitive.
I was talking with a friend the other day about the parts of us we don't show, even, sometimes, to those we know and trust on an intimate level. He was saying how his current partner wanted to know "all of him" and part of him was rebelling in revealing too much, too soon. I said, you can always tell her that she'll never get bored with you because of the continuous new discoveries she'll have each day. I guess the same goes with me: the fearful parts within me, the parts that seldom show their face even to me, can still hold too much sway in certain circumstances … and while that surprises me, it also confirms I'll never be bored.

The origins of football are sketchier than the origins of the universe itself. While some mathematicians believe the universe to be a football, for a vastly bigger population, football is the universe. Though the foot and the ball disease has been known to plague humans from the time humans got a kick out of hitting an object with foot, FIFA likes to believe that its origins lie in the Chinese game cuju. While one form of it was used as fitness training for the military, the other one was for entertainment in the more wealthy cities during the Han dynasty.
During the Tudor period of English history, as West set sail to conquer the new world, Richard Mulcaster, a student at Eton College and later headmaster at other English schools, got busy championing organized team football appealing that 'football had positive educational value and it promoted health and strength.' Therefore it shouldn't come as a surprise that the "rules" of modern day football were laid out in English Public schools and made way to the 19th century when it got internationalized as part of the civilizing mission as Church and Industry recognized football's value in disseminating religious and class ideas and its ability to deflect from possible revolutionary activity, forming teams and sponsored tournaments and leagues.
When we look back at the history of football we can see it either used as a weapon of mass distraction or as the weapon of the weak; either a tool at the hand of fascists or a weapon at the hand of revolutionaries, making the underdog story so unique, inspiring and politically significant.
The 'games ethic' concept –propagated by English missionaries – had a firm belief in sport as an instrument of imperial moral persuasion. Football was a 'key weapon in the battle to win over local populations and to begin transforming them from their "uncivilized" and "heathen" state to one where they might be considered "civilized" and "Christian"'.
There is enough evidence to show that what for the British was a civilizing mission soon became a ground for imagined communities to turn real. Football arenas not only exposed social and political identities but also became sites where political messages first got communicated and struggle with authorities got initiated.
From the early years of the nineteenth century, the British had attempted to portray the Indian male as effete, especially the educated Bengali middle classes which had nationalist tendencies resented by the British as the Bengalis had been at the centre of the revolt during the Mutiny of 1857.
It is not surprising, therefore, that when told that Bengalis were effeminate and football was a manly game, over a period of time the maidaan became the site where the sight of 'puny', barefooted, Bengali players matching heavily built and better-equipped Europeans soon took on the form of a cultural battle against foreign rulers.
It was the Mohun Bagan club that best symbolized the nationalist response to the injured 'cultural self' of Indians during this period. The dream to beat the ruling British at their own game became reality when Mohun Bagan comprising ten barefooted Indian players defeated the East Yorks team 2-1 in the historic final of 29 July 1911. It was a sporting history as the club beat European civil and military teams, one by one, to lift the coveted Indian Football Association (IFA) Shield.
Little did the British envisage that a club could bring about a national reawakening. It was also in the year 1911 that the British shifted the capital of the raj from Calcutta to Delhi. As Ramachandra Guha has noticed, 'British adroitly and deliberately moved the seat of power from Bengal, away from its skilful footballers and its bomb-wielding nationalists. '
Meanwhile, even though Gandhi was not a football player, he had realized in it the revolutionary potential to forge political and social identities. In South Africa, M.K. Gandhi was among a group of people who founded the Transvaal Indian Football Association in 1896 " a first organized football group in Africa that was not run by whites," and helped establish three clubs in Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg, all of which were named the Passive Resisters Soccer Club.
It is no coincidence that after the First World War, football became an area where resistance to British rule was manifested. If in India it was Mohun Bagan, then in Egypt that role of the nationalist uprising was taken by El-Ahly.
When El-Ahly sports club was founded in 1907 it was as a cover for political activists fighting against British colonial rule. Student unions formed a core of the anti-colonial struggle, but their unions needed premises where they could congregate and plan activities. For this purpose, El-Ahly, meaning 'national' in Arabic, was founded. The club came to embody the rebellion against colonization. It was again in 2011 that the club played a crucial role in 'freeing' Egypt, which we will cover later.
When the Egypt football team reached the semi-finals in the 1928 Olympic games, Egyptians viewed it as proof that they were as good as their rulers, and therefore equality on the pitch ought to be carried into all areas.
Football fans or fanatics are the equivalents of citizens and players express national identity through the symbolic action artefacts that the players construct through their movements on the field.
If football helped discover national identities and develop a style of football around 'games ethic', than in Europe the battle was not between the colonized and the colonialist, but between fascism and libertarianism or communism with a style of football that was more akin to the militaristic purpose of the game.
Today, national teams may not function as a representative of the national football culture, but as a more or less coherent symbolic artefact within the national football culture, therefore, one should look towards football club cultures for a dialect representation of national football culture instead of looking at national teams.
Fans often use metaphors of madness to describe the frenzy of football, and madness, as Foucault has shown us, is what lies just outside the boundary of civilization and control.
The writer Eduardo Galeano comments: 'a style of play is a way of being that reveals the unique profile of each community and affirms its right to be different.'
So where does this style come from? From the history of course, and politics is at the heart of the history of football style as well.
Not just the country, throughout the game's history, several teams have represented the working class and the poor, and have become symbols of struggles for justice and independence.
In London, ironworkers formed West Ham United and munitions workers at Arsenal, teams that are now owned by oligarchs but whose logos, bearing the tools of the trades, still testify to their proletarian origins.
Perhaps Liverpool is one club that captures the fight and the soaring heights of the proletariat in England better than some others. Bill Shankly took charge of Liverpool when they were in the Second Division and rebuilt the team into a major force in English and European football. Shankly, who during his 15 years at Liverpool's helm led the Merseyside team to national and European glory, grew up in a Scottish mining village, an upbringing that influenced his identification as a socialist and lifelong support of workers' rights, that which gives its character to the Liverpool club.
If on one hand, you see British Club history than on the other teams and clubs from Argentina, Croatia, Uruguay, Netherlands, are but a few examples, even Russian Spartak Moscow or 'the people's team' all have teams that under dictatorships, that have represented people's longing for freedom.
Compared to Britain and the Commonwealth, Europe too has a history of resistance but if for Britain it was the gentle civilizational mission of football then European dominance and the style of football that has resulted in emerges from the fascist roots of football in Europe.
In football, each team works together to try and occupy as much of the 'territory' of the other as it can, resulting in symbolic conquests over the 'enemy', dominating and regaling at its own superiority.
Dominance is a key aspect to understand, at the hands of the trifecta of fascism; Hitler, Mussolini and Franco, football was used as a weapon of mass distraction and as a propaganda tool making it extremely political, authoritative and ruthless but not without resistance.
The trifecta of Fascism; Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, understood dominance and played football and the citizens for their unholy purposes, is a telling example of how supremacy, dominance and victory at all costs make the game a site where ideological battles are fought.
Even a fascist dictator who controlled a nation's economy, public services, police and army without hindrance needed football to advance his personal and political cause.
In Mussolini's Italy, matches were fixed blatantly and referees corrupted. Bill Murray asserts, "Mussolini's Fascist regime was the first to use sports as an integral part of the government."
"It keeps the younger and naturally insurgent elements of the community from thinking too much about internal political conditions and lack of employment," he said.
In a similar manner to the recent Qatari bid, Italy's application to host the 1934 World Cup was driven largely by politics.
It was strongly alleged that Ivan Eklind, the referee appointed to take charge of Italy's semi-final with Austria in the 1934 World Cup, was invited to an exclusive dinner by Mussolini on the eve of the game and, when a controversial winner saw Italy progress, the Austrians justifiably cried foul play. Up until 2011, till the Austrian player Josef Bican (1468 goals) died, he firmly held that the matches were fixed.
Given the inherent love for football in Italy, clubbed with the fascist construction of national identity at the hands of Mussolini, Italy saw several victories and to their credit, many were not fixed. But there was hardly any resistance to his efforts because the world hadn't been exposed to propaganda football yet.
Taking a cue from Mussolini, Hitler wanted to show how the Nazi was a far supreme race and though not a fan of football took the game under his propagandist umbrella.
What Mussolini got Hitler didn't. A run without resistance! At a time when even the English team was giving Nazi salute in front of a German audience, it took special courage to stand against that dangerous nationalism of 'motherland' that seems to be back in fashion.
An 'Alliance Game' between Germany and Austria was arranged in order to symbolize the soon to be united nation and the players were instructed to "settle" for a draw. In the first half, Matthias Sindelar toyed with his opponents but to show that the game was fixed chose to miss in front of the empty net. In the second half, he scored a goal and demonstrated Austrian superiority and then celebrated to wildly in front of a batch of furious Nazi top brass. Refusing to play in the newly united team he retired from football. A Gestapo report described him as a pro-Jewish social democrat and warned of his hostility towards the Nazis. Shortly afterwards, Sindelar was found dead in his apartment along with his partner Camilla Castagnola.
In the Iberian Peninsula, FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao have long been connected with Catalan and Basque national struggles. During Franco's four-decade-long rule, Barca's Camp Nou and Bilbao's Estadio San Mame were among the few public places where opposition to the regime was expressed by displaying the banned national flags and speaking the forbidden languages.
In 1939, the end of the Spanish Civil War saw the Nationalist forces of General Francisco Franco take control of the country. After capturing Madrid on March 28th to end the War, El Generalísimo sought to unify the newly formed Spanish state. He frequently used policies of murder, torture and political pressure to suppress any anti-Nationalist sentiment.
He sought to disrupt the operations of Barcelona, a symbol of Catalonian pride while supporting Real Madrid, Barcelona's archrival from the capital city.
Franco demanded that the name of the club be translated from the Catalan FC, Barcelona to its Spanish equivalent, Barcelona CF. Symbolically, such a change was a cultural indication that Catalan society was not to be tolerated by the new Spanish State.
The rivalry and the antagonism of Spanish dominance are still alive and kicking. You may recall how after Barcelona FC won the Champions League final in 2015, at full-time Gerard Pique planted a Catalan flag at the centre circle – before cutting down and wearing one of the goal nets, reasserting the right of the Catalan freedom. Two years later the Catalan asked for a referendum and were brutally crushed by the Spanish government.
Jimmy Burns in his book on Spanish football, La Rosa calls their (read Franco's Spanish) style as La Furia, itself a redefinition promoted by the Spanish state's propaganda machinery as one of the leading virtues of the 'New Spain'. It was resurrected from the mythology of conquest and glory that belonged to the country's imperial past, such as the recovery of Muslim Granada by the Catholic kings and the creation of Spanish America by the early conquistadores—conquering warriors.
From Franco onwards, football was to be played as if the ground was a battlefield and the players' soldiers. What mattered was courage, sacrifice, and above all the physical annihilation of the opponent. Neither skill nor creativity, let alone fair play, was part of the armoury.
And that is the style of football embodied and celebrated in Fascist Franco's club Real Madrid. And also in its captain Sergio Ramos. Today Real Madrid club, despite staking claims of being run by fans is actually commanded by a man called Florentino Pérez Rodríguez who has been in power for over 10 years. There is a lack of democracy and of transparency and the box he sits in is known as the Court of King Florentino. Florentino has been in power for nearly 10 years, and nobody has ever voted for him. Any setback, in Pérez's eyes, could only be attributed to officials' incompetence or to a dark conspiracy. Over the years he has mastered the art of creating official incompetence and dark conspiracies, which may or may not have ensured the successes.
The image has to be maintained at all costs.
One such example was the recent Champions League match against Liverpool and the rise of Mohammad Salah.
It has been reported that at least three Ultras were killed and hundreds were wounded on the Battle of 2 February 2011, also known as "the battle of the camel". On that day, Ultras groups members protected the Tahrir Square from raids led by Mubarak supporters and formed a frontline ensuring that Mubarak supporters' raids were nothing but a huge failure. On that day, Mubarak regime fell apart.
Egypt waited a long time to be back at the World Cup. The record seven-time African champions had to watch on the sidelines since last qualifying in 1990. Public memory of a nation works like private memory in that it remembers the moments of failure, success and especially injustice. Fans of football in Africa, Arab and to some extent England will not forget the refusal of Franco's byproduct Ramos in letting go of Mo Salah's arm in the 26th minute and ensuring the rising star to leave the game. Making sure that not only the victory belonged to Spain but also the hegemony of the title of the best footballer stays within Europe and that too within Spain.
Barcelona is not Spain or at least won't be if it were given a 'choice'. Catalan pride is as deeply enshrined within Barcelona as Egyptian pride is in Mohamad Salah. Real Madrid's Captain, Sergio Ramos will not go down well in history as his image follows in league with his football master Franco's. History of football is political and revolution and resistance are at the core of it. At a time when migration issues confound Europe and Spain has Catalan waiting to secede from it, it is no surprise that the history of Spain and history of Franco's club Real Madrid are intertwined. They may have won a cup and saved the European dominance for now, but the times they are always a changing.
One can hear the declining Euro centricity in the murmurs of the Club World Cup. FIFA President Gianni Infantino told his top board recently that Japan's SoftBank along with investors from China, Saudi Arabia, the US and the United Arab Emirates wanted to pay about $25 billion to buy an expanded version of FIFA's Club World Cup as well as the rights to a proposed global league for national teams.
The democratization of football and its spread over the universe has given rise to bigger political ambitions, where nations who have been historically suppressed, are new or were colonized or simply traded their players have now started staking claim to their supremacy. Maybe it will be the end of fascist clubs, but that does not mean that the relationship between football and politics will end.
A goal is a revolutionary act, so onto the next revolution. For who knows what trickery, skill or magnificence is in store for us as we move closer to the World Cup, this time in another authoritative regime – Putin's Russia.

It did a big delete and was missing a where clause which caused it to run into a foreign key error when it tried to do the delete. For whatever reason, the application would loop retrying the cleanup query for 1 hour. In that hour, over 8000 WAL files were generated instead of the usual <200. From what I now understand, PostgreSQL checks the foreign key constraints after writing the updated blocks to the WAL, then when it hit the violation, had to write the records back via more WAL updates. As the application continually retried the query for an hour, the server basically generated WAL data as fast as it could manage to do for that period of time.

Arizona Technology Enterprises' Algae-to-fuel Work Gets $3 Million
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
An Arizona State University spinoff company has secured $3 million in public and private funds to advance its technology that converts algae to jet fuel. Two ASU scientists who are developing the technology have already proven it works in the lab. Now, they are growing algae in solar tubes at ASU's Polytechnic campus to demonstrate the renewable fuel can be produced on a larger scale.
The brains behind the algae-to-jet-fuel concept are ASU professors Qiang Hu and Milton Sommerfeld, who head ASU's Laboratory for Algae Research & Biotechnology.
Arizona Technology Enterprises negotiated a licensing agreement with a private investment group, Heliae Development, that will return fees and a share of any commercialization income to the university. Heliae, led by Frank Mars, will also invest $1.5 million in the technology. Several members of the Mars family are privately investing in the technology

I don't read a lot of blogs. Maybe this makes me like one of those people who uses P2P filesharing apps but doesn't share themselves. It's a one way street with me. I either give or take and how much pleasure I derive from it usually determines which I do. Maybe not reading a lot of different blogs makes me like that. But I do read Roger Ebert's blog.
It amazes me. I always enjoyed watching him review movies on television, first with Gene Siskel and then with a cadre of other reviewers before settling on Richard Roeper. He was informed, articulate and funny. He is the Image of what I have also found to be every good professor I've ever had.
I do not write my blog half as well as he writes his. I'm not yet knowledgeable enough about literature in general, nor aware enough about my own writing process, to do it. But I'm getting there. And Roger Ebert is helping me lately.
I read one of Mr. Ebert's blogs about how to "read" a movie. In it he talks a bit about his own learning curve when he first became a movie reviewer and he mentions a few other critics/reviewers/books along with some methods he has picked from those books that he has found useful and right. One of these methods is how to read the physical position of characters on screen and how it helps shape how we, consciously or unconsciously, percieve them. Roger Ebert eloquently defines it in part as:
In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative. Movement to the right seems more favorable; to the left, less so. The future seems to live on the right, the past on the left. The top is dominant over the bottom. The foreground is stronger than the background. Symmetrical compositions seem at rest. Diagonals in a composition seem to "move" in the direction of the sharpest angle they form, even though of course they may not move at all.
Thinking about this, I wonder if this couldn't be applied to fiction as well – in the analyzing of it but also in the writing of it. From action/dialogue to the physical construction of the work, I have been wondering if there is a way to incorporate this "intrinsic weighting" into the construction of a work to lend it the same effect as it lends film.
This is something I've only begun thinking about recently, but it is something I think I will start looking for in the works that I read and begin experimenting with in my own writing. If it leads somewhere, I'm curious what it will lend to my work and how it may help in reading the work of others.

Now Stormy listens very well …
Luke Ruiz, from Scottsdale, AZ was at the dog park one day when he noticed a red nosed pitbull calmly listening to his owner after a Great Dane had been bothering him. Luke thought it was awesome how this pitbull stayed so calm even when he was being bombarded by this annoying dog, so he started talking with the owner. He quickly found out that the dog, Benny had gone through our Unlimited Program and was doing great with the commands his owner was working so well with him on.
After getting our card, Luke called us to schedule a visit to talk about training for his Akita, Stormy. Luke knew that Stormy was a nice and well-mannered dog, but she didn't listen very well and sometimes was a little rude to the other dogs in the dog park. Luke wanted help learning why she was doing these things as well as how to get her to listen better.
After calling, setting up a visit and sitting down with us, Luke signed up Stormy right away for our Unlimited Program because he had already felt that Kona's Dog Training was the right fit for him. We scheduled regular lessons and helped Luke to get Stormy to walk nicely on leash, listen better to commands, especially "come" and helped him to understand why Stormy did many of the things she did. Luke asked questions, like "why does Stormy follow me around the house?", "why does Stormy listen to me sometimes, but not all the time?" Luke learned a lot of things about dogs while training. Like, often it doesn't matter what you say, but how you say it and how he feels around Stormy and how to acknowledge those feelings when they aren't the best. Luke, like many of our clients, learned a lot about himself just as much as he did about training with his dog.
Luke tells us he couldn't be happier about the training help he received with Stormy. He tells us often that he has so much more work to do on himself than with Stormy!
Luke now finds that Stormy listens very well at home, out on walks and at the dog park, where he doesn't have to worry about what might happen with other dogs. Luke and Stormy's relationship has grown leaps and bounds since he first adopted her.

I've been sidelined for the past three weeks and I am eager to start running—and snowshoeing—soon. Last spring I bought some Dions but barely had one run in them before the melt off gave way to crocuses.
In February 2009, I ran my first SS race and loved it. I expected it to be more of a heart-poppin', quad-implodin' undertaking but that was not (entirely) the case; it was a fare increase of effort compared to running/post holing through snow. My pace in general may be compared to an excited crawl since I shifted my joy focus towards general fitness with mindfulness in the moment and away from a need for speed.
Looking ahead to a speedy and full recovery in ankle health, I signed up for the mid-February Kingman Farm Moonlight Snowshoe 5k. It fills quickly and there is no day-of registration. I hope to get out with my Dions well before then to build some strength and endurance. But I must be a smart little snow hare.
After I twisted my ankle in Breakheart Reservation in December, I was relieved that an X-Ray revealed no fracture or break. With lots of RICE and Active Ankle all-day modeling, I can say I am swiftly recovering. At the time, my PCP recommended I take at least two weeks off before attempting to exercise or run. While he is not a runner nor an image of fitness in general, he is very sympathetic to my endurance urges. In short, he gets it.
He said that after two weeks, I may safely resume exercising when I have no pain while—or after—exercising. The conundrum is that I usually have some sort of tweak, twinge, tickle that might be considered "pain." I have a high threshold for running-related discomfort or pain so my task is to listen even more carefully to my body. I just need to play it safe and train conservatively, which isn't a problem. Not training at all WAS beginning to be a problem.
After 14 days of inactivity, my mood met melancholy. Then the endorphin train jumped its tracks; Grouchess Cranky Pants arrived. I was irritable. A sugar glum fairy dark cloud formed overhead. Having been injured before—when I was riding the pine for 9 months —I was prepared. I identified and remdied the unwanted mood sink within 24 hours of its arrival. Whew, dodged it.
Irritability be gone! On day 15 I headed out to the fields and took my running sticks for a spin. Uneven ground, slanted slopes and ice were probably unwise choices that reminded me of my Breakheart twist. At mile 3.2 I heard a slight whispering ache in my tendon. "No, that can't be.... oh, drat." I stopped and walked home. RICE redux.
So I bid my inactivity blues goodbye with 2009. From stair climber, to spinning, to rowing machine, I am mixing it up without stressing my ankle. Another week and I'll be back.
Above is a local melted snow person turned sculpture.
It reminded me of the work of Joseph Beuys (right).

Do you want your kids to love learning (like the boy in the picture below)?
I am sure you do!
It is difficult to get our kids to study after school. After so many hours of learning, who wants to open books again?
Not me!
If you force your kids to study after school or try to teach them something new, they resist or put their foot down (and sometimes, even cry).
But, studying need not be a war at home.
Think about it.
If you were forced to learn something, will you be interested (or motivated) to give your best?
No, right? It is the same with kids.
Your end goal should be to develop interest and motivate your kids. Let's discuss a few ways you can make studying fun
1. Turn learning into games
Yes, you read it right. Games are not only for fun. It can be used for teaching your kids as well.
For example, you can put all alphabets in the jar and ask your kid to pick up one chit. Afterwards, ask them to tell you as many words from that alphabet as they can. This will help them grow their vocabulary.
Similarly, you can turn other concepts into games.
2. Reverse learning using cards
It may sound absolutely absurd, but ask your kids to teach you instead.
Draw cards with questions on it. On the back of it, write the answers. Something like this –
You can then ask your kids to pick up any card and ask you questions. If you give wrong answers, they will correct you.
It is fun to act ignorant of concepts in front of kids so they can correct you and end up learning the concepts themselves.
3. Mnemonics and Acrostics
We still know the sentence which helped us remember the nine planets. "My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas" (or a similar variation)
Similarly, we used a sentence for remembering the order of math operations. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, and Subtract)
You can create fun statements to help your kids learn.
4. Educational songs, cartoons or TV
I know it is a time intensive exercise to create songs around concepts.
But, it need not be that difficult. Just search the web and you can find cartoons, songs etc which teach your kids.
You can also give them more TV time (yes, MORE TV time) and watch discovery kids, Animal Planet or other similar channels.
While they get what they want (television time), you get what you want (learning)
It is a win-win!
5. Download educational games
Technology has made this simple for parents.
Similar to cartoons and videos, you will get a lot of apps in the market which makes teaching fun. They use stories, music, phonetics, games etc to make studying fun.
Just go on to the play store and download the apps which support your kids classroom learning.
They won't even realize they are learning!
6. Real life application
Is there anything better than practical learning?
Definitely, not. Practical learning remains with us because we see it taking shape in real.
So next time you bake a cake, engage your kids. Ask them to measure or pass you certain equipment. Tell them about measurements, colors, ingredients and much more.
For example, ask them to pass you the blue star (refer the image)
The best thing about this activity is that at the end of learning, both of you get to feast on the delicious cake 🙂
Try out these simple tactics at home. You'll see your kids leaning towards learning and having fun in the process.
Do you have something else which worked for your kids? Please do share it with us by commenting below.
PlayAblo's's state-of-the-art game play, that is aligned to the learning objectives curated by the ICSE and CBSE boards, is your go-to solution to ensure that your child learns while having fun 🙂

Introduction: Be the Star!
My daughter wanted to be the star in the Christmas pageant this year, so I whipped this up the night before. It's a pretty basic costume that can versatile in the future. It could be combined with a fancy green dress to be a Christmas tree, it could stand alongside friends dressed as planets to be part of the solar system, or we could hang ribbons from it and call it a shooting star. Here's how you can be the star of the show too...
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Cut a Star Shape Out of Foam
First, I took some foam left over from my daughter's My Little Pony Costume and my son's Gameboy costume and cut out a hexagon shape and 5 triangles. I cut an oval in the hexagon and made sure my daughter's face would fit in it, then I hot glued each triangle to each side of the hexagon except for the bottom side.
Step 2: Iron on Fusible Web
To make it sturdy, I ironed on some thick fusible web material to one side of the foam star. I suggest doing this to both sides (I simply didn't have enough material).
Step 3: Cut Out Your Fabric.
Using the foam star as a pattern, I cut out 2 pieces of fabric about 1 inch larger all the way around. Starting at the bottom, I sewed a straight stitch all the way around the star and left an opening about 6 inches wide at the bottom.
I used some fancy gold leather on one side and white fleece on the other. I recommend doing both sides in fleece or cotton fabric as it is easier to hand sew in the next step.
Step 4: Insert Your Foam Structure Into Your Fabric.
Turn your machine-stitched star right side out and carefully insert your foam star through the opening at the bottom. Fold the triangles inward and ease them into their proper slots. Once your foam is in place, cut out the face-hole so your fabric is about a half an inch beyond the foam. Since I used leather on one side, I had to cut slits in the leather and fold and glue it inward.
Step 5: Hand-stitch the Facehole and Bottom Edge.
Hand-stitch the face-hole and bottom edge closed using a ladder stitch. (Hand-stitching through leather is HARD, which is why I recommend fleece or cotton.)
Step 6: Make an Adjustable Headpiece.
I had lots of complex ideas about how to attach a headpiece but I had to keep reminding myself to KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I originally envisioned a fleece cowl neck scarf, but that would have been too hot. A simple elastic band, however, would slip around and be uncomfortable.
Finally, I took a 12 inch strip of 6 inch wide lace, hemmed it on both sides, sewed a channel on one edge with thin elastic inside, stitched the elastic in place down the middle (so the elastic won't pull out), pinned it around the top edge of the face hole, and hand stitched it in place.
When the elastic is gathered in the back, the result is a fancy, comfortable headpiece that can adjust to fit a child or adult-shaped head.
Step 7: You're a Star!
Ta-da! A star is born!

Borja De Lacy (3rd year surgical resident)
Mario Pagès (Radiology Consultant)
Hospital Clínic, Barcelona – Spain
A 59-year-old female a with past medical history of diffuse Lage B-Cell Lymphoma treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy and local radiotherapy 10 years ago consulted her doctor due to a big abdominal mass. After initial testing a PET-Scan was performed, revealing multiple and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. A recurrent disease was diagnosed and R-ESAHP chemotherapy was started. Eight days after the third cycle, the patient complained of acute abdominal pain and came to the emergency room.
She was diagnosed with a septic shock, requiring vasoactive drugs and intensive IV fluids administration. Her blood test revealed pancytopenia (Hemoglobin 6,4 g/L – WBC 0,51 109/L – 0,77 109/L neutrophils – 9000 109/L platelets). A CT-Scan was performed revealing a thickening of the terminal ileum, the right colon, and specially the transverse colon with fat tissue trabeculation. There was no pneumoperitoneum or colonic pneumatosis (FIG. 1). All vessels were permeable.
A neutropenic enterocolitis was diagnosed due to the patient's record and the CT findings.
There was no perforation, peritonitis or bleeding. She was admitted to the intensive care unit receiving amikacin, teicoplanin and tigecycline. Close medical surveillance was provided. Blood and stools cultures came back negative. RCP for cytomegalovirus was negative.
Ciprofloxacin plus metronidazole were administered orally until antibiotics until a 14-day antibiotics course had been completed.
The patient had a good clinical and hematologic response, so there was no need to provide surgical treatment.

There is no doubt that if you and your family are traveling to Myrtle Beach in the summer, you're here to soak up the sun on our beachfront property at Monterey Bay Suites. But what other things are there to do? We've put together a few recommendations of things to do in Myrtle Beach in August that we are sure will add some fun to your stay!
Myrtle Beach is one of the top golf destinations in the U.S., and lucky for you the Pine Lakes Golf Club is just a short drive from Monterey Bay Suites. Schedule a tee time for Dad or take the whole family – kids play free!
If you need to beat the heat or get the kids out of the suite try one of these Myrtle Beach Watersports! Cool down with a ride on the Banana Boat or rent a pair of jet skis. If you're feeling really adventurous get up in the air in a parasail!
Brookgreen offers a display of color and wonder with their NEW Summer Lights attraction. Families can enter the gardens at 7:00pm and enjoy food, crafts, and music while enjoying traditional Chinese lantern art! This is a bit of a hike from Monterey Bay Suites, but it's definitely worth the drive!
One of the best things about visiting Myrtle Beach in the summer is the amazing displays of fireworks every night. You can enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants at Broadway at the Beach and then stick around with the kids for the sky extravaganza. Or head on up to Barefoot Landing for their colorful nighttime display!

The Bunkhouse | No. 1
Lately I have been away from home quite a bit leaving me feeling a little detached from Boxwood Ave. I normally write about things happening on the ranch or projects that I am working on…writing virtually seems foreign to me.
In addition to spending time away from home, I spend a LOT of time on the internet. It's just a part of my job. I stumble upon amazing products, ideas, and books daily.
While I try to steer clear of the idea of consumerism, I still appreciate a beautiful vase or amazing inexpensive rug, and I love sharing these finds with you. I hope you enjoy these posts as a quick skim of my favorites from the 'net each week.
1 // I really like to listen to podcasts and books driving to and from the ranch. This week I listened to this sermon, and I loved his "walk me to my car" perspective. I think you'll enjoy listening.
2 // This rug is amazing.
3 // Just wrapped up Oprah's, What I know For Sure. It's really beautiful, and I love Oprah.
4 // Dreaming of when I can wear this linen dress. It was -15 this week, but I'll be prepared when Spring arrives.
5 // …these sandals, and bag too.
6 // Vance Joy released a new album and I haven't stopped listening to it.
7 // If you're looking for inexpensive engineered hardwood flooring, we are using these on our Reno project. They have a slight pink undertone, but are a great price for engineered wood – almost as inexpensive as laminate.
7 // This kitchen design by Redesign Home (seen below) is amazing! While real antique doors would be the dream, this could be faked with a skilled carpenter and two wood side-lites.

ESA 450: Smart Growth and Strategic Land Use Decision-Making Course
The ESA 450 course on Smart Growth and Strategic Land-Use Decision-Making was available at Michigan State University from Fall 2005-Fall 2011. This was an interdepartmental class for undergraduate and graduate students focusing on environmental applications, urban planning, geography, environmental economics and policy. The aim of the course was to prepare future leaders to understand how the economy has changed, and the role land plays in the changing economy, to think strategically and in an integrated fashion, and to help plan for a prosperous future. It was taught by Soji Adelaja, PhD, John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor in Land Policy and former director of the Land Policy Institute; and John Warbach, PhD, associate director of LPI.
This online-based course attracted students from such disciplines as urban and regional planning, resource development, economics, journalism, landscape architecture, anthropology, geography and others. Students from at least six different countries also participated in the course during its last three years.
Special Report Series
As part of a semester research project, students enrolled in the Fall 2009-Fall 2011 semesters of ESA 450 were asked to interview local, state, national or international thought leaders on such topics as economic development, land use, the environment, urban design, government and social justice. The comments the students received from their subjects were intriguing, timely and of great potential value to policy makers in Michigan, other distressed states and the nation.
Therefore, a special report series, called Moving Michigan Forward, was created that included a compilation of edited interview results reported by the students over this three-semester time period.
- Moving Michigan Forward: National Thought Leaders Speak on New Economy, New Strategies, New Places (April 8, 2011) by John Warbach, Soji Adelaja, Jordan Blekking, Katherine Cole, Catherina-Dorothee Grubel, David Ivan, David Katanski, Jae-Young Kim, Tom Larkin, Jordan Skole, Rachel Soloman and Jeff Stivenson
- Moving Michigan Forward: State Thought Leaders Helping Michigan Find Answers (December 7, 2012) by John Warbach, Lual Deng Awan, Anita Blount, Jennifer Byle, Jonathan Dworin, Jessica Getschman, Celeste Holtz, Christopher Hughes, Stephanie Kozak, Brett Lowell, Linda Luoma, Tory Niewiadomski, Michael Raley and Kelly Richardson

Ratting on #Roa
In my last Roa post, I spoke of how hard I had tried to find more Roa's around Berlin and was coming up empty every time. But then a buddy over at andBerlin.com let me know that the Roa rats on Schoenhauser Allee were still there, even though I had struggled in vain for an hour to find them previously. I tried a second time, and bam. Instant Roa-gratification.
Aw yeah, that's the stuff.
Look at the detail from each spraycan stroke. I can't even. I am out of evens.
Check out my Roa category for more of his work that I've photographed around the world!
