KVH Industries, Inc., announced that major European maritime operator Smit Lamnalco finalized an agreement earlier this year to install KVH's maritime solution on its offshore vessels. Following a successful field trial with KVH's mini-VSAT Broadband connectivity and TracPhone V3-IP satellite communications antenna system, the potential is for KVH to deliver and install its maritime solution on up to 100 Smit Lamnalco offshore vessels over the next few years, and 20 have already been delivered.
"We are extremely happy with the performance of KVH's systems and services based on our test, and are proceeding to upgrade our vessels with this complete solution," says Patrick van Woudenberg, group IT manager for Smit Lamnalco. "KVH is a great partner for us, and their knowledgeable technical staff helped design a solution that we can replicate across our fleet to standardize the connectivity on our vessels and improve our operational efficiency."
The solution chosen by Smit Lamnalco includes KVH's mini-VSAT Broadband service with a usage-based monthly airtime package; TracPhone V3-IP Ku-band antenna system and Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM) belowdecks unit; and, CommBox network management and VPN solutions, as well as VoIP service. All the hardware is protected by the KVH OneCare support program and warranty. The solution also comes with the myKVH portal, which provides vessel location, connectivity details, vessel tracking, and control of onboard data usage.
"We are proud to be Smit Lamnalco's choice for their impressive fleet, and the successful field test validates the high quality of our products and services," says Mark Guthrie, KVH vice president of global channel management. "Our solution provides many benefits of broadband connectivity, for everything from communications to crew welfare, and Smit Lamnalco sees the advantages of this approach."

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has published a landmark report setting out how the private rented sector in London should be transformed to give renters open-ended tenancies and to create powers to bring rents down.
The report sets out a detailed blueprint of how tenancy laws should be overhauled and what new powers the Mayor wants from Government to enable City Hall to introduce rent control. The report also outlines detailed recommendations which set out how the law on tenancies should be overhauled such as introducing open-ended tenancies, ending 'no fault' evictions, scrapping break clauses in tenancy agreements, better access to support and dispute resolution services, and increasing landlord-to-tenant notice periods to four months.
Despite having no statutory powers over the private rented sector, the Mayor has led the way on rights for London's 2.4 million renters – campaigning to end letting agents charges to tenants, setting up a new public database to 'name and shame' rogue landlords and letting agents, and playing a central role in the campaign to scrap 'no fault' evictions.
With the average private rent for a one-bed home in London now more than the average for a three-bed in every other region of England*, the Mayor believes the case for City Hall being given powers to bring rents down has become overwhelming. Far more Londoners are also now renting, with 26 per cent renting privately in 2018, compared to only 11 per cent in 1990.
The Mayor is calling for powers to establish a universal register of landlords and rents, which a new London Private Rent Commission – with renters on its board – would use to design an effective rent control system. It would set out how rents should be gradually reduced and recommend incentives to encourage investment in housing supply.
As well as the above, the Mayor is calling for interim powers to limit rent increases within and between tenancies whilst the full system of rent control is being implemented.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "It is high time for private renting in London to be transformed – Londoners need fundamental change that is long overdue. We have made important progress over the last three years by working closely with councils and renters – from 'naming and shaming' rogue landlords and banning letting agents fees for tenants, to being part of the successful campaign to scrap 'section 21'. But now we need the Government to play their part by making tenancy laws fit for purpose, and by enabling us to bring in the rent control Londoners so urgently need."
Miatta Fahnbulleh, Chief Executive of the New Economics Foundation, said: "More Londoners are renting than ever before, in a sector that's unaffordable. Since 2010 average rents have risen three times as fast as average incomes. The scale of this affordability crisis means that action must be taken. With a majority of Londoners now in favour of rent control we urge the Government to grant the powers needed to the Mayor to bring rents down to affordable levels for London's 2.4m private renters."
Polling carried out by City Hall and YouGov last year revealed strong support for rent controls in the capital, with over two-thirds of Londoners surveyed in favour of the Government capping the amount that landlords can charge people renting their property.
Rent control and stabilisation can take many forms, but most major cities in Europe and North America have some limits on rents in the private sector. For instance, in Berlin, rents are controlled both within and between tenancies, and the city recently announced plans for a five-year rent freeze.
In some New York City apartments, rents are capped by the NYC Rent Guidelines Board, and others have their rent 'stabilised' or reset between tenancies. Scotland has recently introduced new laws that allow councils to apply to implement 'rent pressure zones', where rent increases are capped at no higher than inflation. By comparison, London and the rest of England and Wales have a private rental sector characterised by very weak protections for renters.
The Mayor hopes the Government will embrace these ideas when formulating their own proposals for consultation on tenancy reform.

MADISON, Wis. -- Lawrence University men's tennis standout Cade Francour grabbed second place at No. 4 singles to lead the Vikings on Saturday at the Midwest Conference Championships at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Francour, a sophomore, won a pair of matches before falling to Grinnell College's Michael Conlin-Brandenburg 6-3, 6-1 in the championship match. Francour opened play with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over St. Norbert College's Matt LaViolette 6-2, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. Francour then blanked Monmouth College's Paulo Pliego 6-0, 6-0 in the semifinals.
Three other Lawrence players, Aidan Delgado at No. 3, Evan Oriel at No. 5 and Matt Chan at No. 6, reached the championship semifinals.
Delgado took down Lake Forest College's Matt Kacyn 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. Eventual champion Ben Cobin of Grinnell then topped Delgado 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in the semifinals.
Oriel downed St. Norbert's Jordan Crump 7-6, 6-1 in the quarterfinals, but he was downed by Grinnell's Ishaan Tibrewal 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals.
Chan opened with a tough 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Illinois College's Jacob McQueen in the quarterfinals. Chan then dropped a 7-5, 6-2 decision to St. Norbert's Alex Vandenberg in the semifinals.
Connor Maloney lost his opening match but came all the way back through to win the consolation title at No. 2. He defeated Nazar Otunchiev of Illinois College 8-2 in the consolation final. Bill Schuman-Kline lost in the quarterfinals and was later eliminated in the consolation semifinals.

See a small town, really small!
Small Towns, Hamlets and Villages
I'm always on the lookout for more Small Towns. This is possibly not qualified as a Town, Hamlet, or even a Village. It's just a place. But I'll call it a town for now.
One of my stops on a vacation trip to Colorado was a small town of Mingo Kansas. From I-70 one goes west on County-K for about a mile, don't blink or you might pass right through. Mingo's main claims to fame is that it is the home of the oldest Geocache appropriately named Mingo. Placed in May of 2000, this cache is on the bucket list of many geocachers, we like finding geocaches of special significance. After finding the geocache I proceeded into Mingo itself to do a bit of exploring. The following photos don't show much, and that's right. There's not much to the town, maybe a dozen houses, a church, the requisite Grain…

Late September boatsPosted: September 28, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 25 Comments
There were several false starts during my sketch outing today. My rusty drawing skills played a part in that. School has been busy these past few weeks and if I don't get out often to sketch it takes some time to warm up my drawing hand. Or my drawing brain. Or both. As well, I started my first sketch with a subject that seemed quite perfect — a white boat and its pristine reflection — but about halfway into the drawing a sailor showed up and off he sailed, with my perfect subject. Luckily there were more boats to take its place.
Messing around with gouache, step-by-stepPosted: September 23, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 19 Comments
After I posted my pegboard gouache sketch the other day Donna asked a few questions in the comments sections and I thought it might be better to create a new post to answer her in case this is useful info for anyone else. Disclaimer: I am not gouache expert. This is just my own muddling around on toned paper so feel free to use the info or discard as you see fit.
Here are Donna's comments:
"I just took a class about gouache and would be interested in details about your materials. Do you use tube gouache or mix white with watercolor? My goal was to use gouache in my sketchbook but I still feel very lacking in knowledge. This instructor mixed gouache with watercolor which is complicated to do in the field. Gouache squeezed from the tube hardens so fast. What to do?"
I thought the best way to answer the question about how I use gouache would be to take a photo. I have some tubes of Winsor & Newton gouache that I found in a sale bin at my local art store, maybe about ten basic colours in all (including white and black). I don't mix them with watercolour. I like the flat look that gouache has, and I find it fun to play with the water ratio to get different transparent and opaque washes. I squeeze out only a bit of paint on a Jasper butcher tray — as much as I need for one sketch — so I am not really worried about the paint getting hard. There are techniques sketchers use who paint with gouache on location, such as leaving a damp sponge in the palette, but so far I haven't used any of those methods. This is mostly a studio activity for me, for now.
I work in a Stillman & Birn Nova Series softbound sketchbook with beige paper, size 8.5″ x 5.5″. There's also a grey paper you can use but I like the warm undertone of this one.
My first step is to draw with a brush pen filled with permanent ink. I am not too worried about the accuracy of the drawing since gouache allows for lots of corrections. You can see where I messed up the handle of the wire cutters but I just drew it again, knowing I would be able to paint over the lines.
For this sketch I used a limited palette of gouache colours: Raw Umber, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red, Ultramarine Blue plus Black and White. My first step is work on the general big shapes for the tools. The butcher tray is perfect for mixing small puddles of gouache. I use old brushes for this — gouache can ruin good brushes if left to dry, so I use old Escoda Perlas that have lost their points. Stiffer brushes are better for this than floppy ones like squirrel mops.
My next step is to paint in the shadows. Don't really know why I do that instead of painting the pegboard first, but somehow I want the shadows to be on the clean paper, not painted on top of another layer of paint. And also, since I don't really know what I am doing with this paint, I am going by gut feeling more than anything.
The last step is to paint the white pegboard, the dark holes and the edges of things. Some of the shadows are too dark so I go over them with a lighter wash. Each stroke is a bit of surprise since gouache gets darker as it dries. The last details are the most fun: the little white and black highlights. The challenge for me with gouache is the reversal of my usual thinking process about values, because in watercolour I work from lightest to darkest most of the time. With this I start somewhere in the middle and work towards darks first and then add in the lights. It's also in some ways a more painterly process since the paint can be applied more thickly and the brushstrokes are often more apparent.
Anyway, that's enough rambling for now. Give it a try if you have some gouache hanging around. And if you want to see someone who uses gouache in a much more expressive way, have a look at Maru Godas's work. I took a fantastic workshop with her in Porto this summer, and I will be posting my sketches from that soon.
Brushes with gouachePosted: September 21, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 22 Comments
Studio clean-up on a rainy Friday led me to the pegboard in the workshop and all the great shapes arranged there. I grabbed some gouache, a brush pen and a toned paper sketchbook. I have a feeling I will be exploring the possibilities of gouache much more this year. The warm tone of this Stillman & Birn sketchbook paper is a perfect surface for adding whites, blacks and bright colours. The thought process for this is a bit like working in oils (adding darks first and working towards the lighter areas) but it is much more immediate and perfect for quick sketches like this.
DangerPosted: September 19, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 12 Comments
I haven't had this much fun drawing in a long time. At the far end of the parking lot of our local Ikea, I found a Hydro Quebec substation with all kinds of colourful shapes. With more time on my hands I think I could have done a better job of drawing all the overhead lines and cables but that would have meant arriving late to my afternoon class and I didn't think finishing my drawing was a good enough excuse for that. I'll just have to go back when I have more time.
Alice in walnut inkPosted: September 17, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 Comments
It's been a while since I added a page to my single colour Pentalic Aqua Journal sketchbook, the one where I try out colours that I use infrequently like Carmine and Hooker's Green. Today I picked up the book but deviated slightly from the path by sketching with Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink instead of paint. If you've never heard of it, it's a water-soluble ink that creates gorgeous rich browns. To add to the novelty of the experience, I also used the Walnut Drawing stick — a double-ended drawing stick with a bamboo nib on one side and a felt-tip brush on the other — an unusual enough combination in my hand to make the whole experience both fun and challenging.
So what made this ink such a pleasure to draw with? Well, to begin with, it has a really unique property for ink in that it lifts really easily if you want to lighten areas or soften edges. And while you can certainly achieve deep darks by using it at full strength, you can also lift washes or even remove them entirely. If you read the promotional info on the website you'll see that what Tom Norton had in mind when he created it was something in between ink and watercolour. It's also a really beautiful brown, and even though it's not in fact made from real walnuts, it's a warmer colour than Sepia watercolour, which is much greyer. I can see that this is going to be a real favourite of mine for doing value studies.
Front view, back viewPosted: September 16, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 23 Comments
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting friends who live in a rural area and enjoy splendid views in every direction. Seated on their front porch I sketched a complex scene of barn and parking area. On the drive there we noticed that the trees are already showing the first signs of fall colour which seems odd since it's been such a warm September in Montreal and it still feels like mid-August.
When drawing a scene like this across a double page in my sketchbook I try to first determine what I want to fit into the sketch. In this case I wanted to get in some of the barn, a tree on either side and a bit of the foreground path leading up to the parking area. If you draw those key elements in lightly with a pencil before getting into more detailed drawing, you are sure you'll fit in the important shapes. After that you can add the details like rocks, planters, flags, etc.
Just before dusk I painted a second one from the back deck where the view is all open sky and newly ploughed hay fields. After commuting in traffic all week and rushing to get all my schoolwork done, it was a joy to have a few moments where all I had to do was let my eyes wander over the fields and across to the distant trees.
Two giftsPosted: September 10, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 25 Comments
When my friend Alison handed me a wooden crate of tomatoes from her garden, my first thought was not what olive oil I would dress them with — it was what colours I would use to sketch them. I drove directly home to paint them and realized it was also the perfect opportunity to give another gift a try, a Hahnemuhle Watercolour sketchbook (A4 size) from my Urban Sketchers Symposium goodie bag.
I can't rate the tomatoes yet because, predictably, I sketched them instead of eating them, but the paper in the sketchbook is promising. The colours remain vibrant, it can take lots of wash and it's beautifully textured. The landscape A4 format is ideal for most of my daily sketching, and the double page spread is perfect for panoramas. No doubt the tomatoes will be just as delightful as the paper.

There was the...

My problem might seem pretty trivial but it is a huge issue in my life – it's MESS.
I am such a neat freak, but of late I seem to be having an OCD issue. OCD being (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) . OCD is a disorder of the brain and behavior, yes that's me. OCD causes severe anxiety in those affected involving in my case 'mess!! I am becoming obsessive about it, and it seems to take up a lot of time and energy from me.
I work full time in a job that sometimes and often encroaches into the evening. If you walk into my place, you would see timber floors, fairly clean with the occasional cat hair floating across the surface; you would see everything neat and in place. However, if you open a cupboard you see marks, stains, dirt and I get so frustrated I can't seem to have the time to clean up – you know the build-up you get in a pantry.. GROAN. - the marks you get sometimes from the Soy Sauce bottles, or grime that seems to develop over time and stain the cupboards. I HATE IT, and I clean it but then the OCD part in me screams, HELP!!!.
I am sure people will just say tidy up, clean when you can and I seem to spend my life just doing that, but I have come to the conclusion that I must be completely inefficient to be so ineffective. I am bright, intelligent, but maintaining a tidy home is fine, but CLEAN home is a different story, in the way others manage seems beyond me at the moment.
I am greatly sentimental about possessions and regularly try to have purges and chuck things out, but it is the day-to-day management that I seem to find impossible when it comes to cleaning drawers and cupboards, most especially pantries.
The other OCD part in me is organising my Secondlife Inventory, seriously I cry. It is truly a mess. In comparison to others I don't have the 100,000's of goodies anymore, only 34,000, items misplaced and scattered. However the OCD in me SCREAMS, and I so wish someone would develop a better inventory programme that we can see pictures and it is easy to organise. PLEASE PLEASE!!! J

A week in the life..
Another busy week has passed and I'd like to tell you about it...
I kicked off the week with a bubbles session at Aldrington C of E After School Club session on Monday. I couldn't have wished for better weather for this session, sun was shining and there was hardly any wind. We made bubble wands out of string and straws which is so simple and incredibly simple, effective and fun. The children were impressed with their new creations and ran around chasing bubbles trying to pop the biggest and best.
For th Saplings parent and toddler session this week we made disgusting sandwiches like the badger from our story. I love keeping things simple and this session couldn't have been simpler. We gathered ingredients for our sandwiches like feathers, horse chestnut leaves, fallen petals and even made our own 'chocolate jam' by mixing mud and water of course. The sandwiches were (almost) good enough to eat!!
Balfour KS1 visited our Base Camp at The Macs Farm yesterday for a survival workshop. The groups have been hilarious and I've particularly enjoyed watching them as they pile off their coach with their school vests hanging off them, bags in hand with gleaming faces ready for mischief. The rain couldn't dampen our spirits as we made shelters to cover us, but the kids didn't stay dry for too long when the water pistol came out.
That takes me to today. I'm in the office as I write this as I've been hard at work preparing the kits for Wild Things and the birthday parties I am running over the weekend. I'm particularly looking forward to the Wild Things session as we will be making camp fires and pancakes.
Im look forward to a much needed day off on Sunday. I won't be resting much, I'm taking a hike to Ditchling Beacon. Let's hope the weathers nice as I don't fancy a picnic in the rain...

Race Report: Stoopid 50, Fat Tire Frenzy, Round Top Enduro, Pats Peak, and Rothrock TrailMix.
Round Top Mountain Bike Association: First Ever Round Top Enduro. Round Top, NY.
Pro riders Seamus and Abbey both enjoyed this Enduro event (and both won their races).
From Seamus:
"RTMBA's First Enduro went great. Rain during the week left the trails perfect for race day. It was a great day of sweet trail riding with old and new friends. By the end of the day I was a little uncertain of the results of my efforts but came out on top with my first Enduro win of the 2014 race season. Feels great to notch the first one and move forward to the big races coming up."
From Abbey:
"This weekend I did my first ever Enduro race. Downhills are my weakness so I thought doing a race like this would help me improve my skills. It was a small race with only 50 competitors and was a fundraiser for the RTMBA. I did not have time to pre-ride any of the five timed stages which made it a little harder to race. Luckily, I was with Seamus so he gave me beta on each of the stages. I was able to ride pretty much everything with the exception of a small rock drop and the "Grand Canyon" section on the fourth stage. Each stage had flat and uphill sections which really helped me make up the time I lost going slow on the steeper downhills. The results didn't get posted until after the awards ceremony so I had no idea how I did until I was called up to the podium for winning the Women's Pro/Open category!"
MASS Endurance: Rothrock TrailMix. Boalsburg, PA.
Jess and Joël started off their double-header weekend with this 36-mile race located at the base of Tussey Mountain Ski Resort near State College.
Jess reports on their race:
"This was our first year doing this race, so we didn't know what to expect. From what we had heard, it was a relentless course consisting primarily of all gnarly single track. What we heard was in fact true… Adding to the difficulty was the weather. Rain for the few days prior and a race day that was misty and overcast made the rocks slippery and brought about some soggy trail conditions at places. But, rocky single track is what Joël and I enjoy and what we do well, so we were right at home and enjoying every minute of it.
"Our Giant bikes with their 27.5 inch wheels are made for this type of terrain, they made the trails fun and fast. In the end we both had good rides, and despite feeling beat up and battered, we both enjoyed the day. Joël out-sprinted his archrival at the line to make the top ten overall men and I was third overall female."
Stoopid 50. State College, PA.
Day Two of Jess, and Joël's double-header found them in the same beautiful location but at a different race! Jed arrived to camp out the night preceding, and all three riders represented Giant Northeast in the 8th Annual Stoopid 50.
Jed reports on the race:
"A stoopidly awesome adventure! If you're looking for a good day of rocky single track, luscious PA forests, and good vibes, then the Stoopid 50 in State College is the race for you.
"For this year's race we headed up the night before and camped out right at the race. A large grassy area made for a perfect BBQ and chill spot, plus the running water and job-jonnies were key. The sky was so clear we could even see satellites traversing the night sky. An outdoor concert next door at Tussey Mountain rocked the entire valley, and we couldn't resist but going to check it out. Fortunately, we caught the last few songs of a local cover band and even some fireworks being set off in the distance.
"After a nice chilly night sleep, we got ready to race. The race starts out with a long gradual fireroad climb and then quickly dumps into the Tussey Ridge single track. It's kind of a clusterf*!k, but still a good time. Jed ended up flatting as Joël and Jess rolled on through. PSU veteran, Eric "Rampage" Snyder was even in the mix.
"Some double track climbing, and the race takes you into the Cooper's Gap area. This is by far the funnest portion of the race. Lots of great trail riding, and this year's edition even featured a new section of trail which was essentially 2+ miles of hero dirt turns! Good stuff!
"The aid station provided much needed hydration, calories, and lube. And then the long slog back begins. A long grassy climb, drops you into a long double track descent, and then onto another climb, and then even another climb. Last up is the Laurel Run downhill, which is much more fun when you're fresh, but none-the-less still keeps it exciting. Another new section of turns and, you are treated with not only the finish line, but beers, burgers, veggie burgers, mac-n-cheese, beans, etc.
All-in-all a great day on the bike, which is what it's all about. Cheers to the Stoopid 50."

Eastern States Cup: Pats Peak Downhill Thrill. Henniker, NH.
Brian and Collin traveled to New Hampshire for some thrilling downhill.
From Brian:
"This weekend Collin and I attended the Pats Peak Eastern States Cup race. Plenty of rain coming into the weekend brought brought a super slick course for practice. Sunny skies and plenty of wind dried the track up tremendously. A bit of a different race format, we ran two race runs, taking your fastest run. A blowout on my first run left me hungry for redemption. Charged strong out of the gate on the second run. Dropping a chain somewhere in the middle of the track left me pumping my way to a tenth place finish."
From Collin:
"Pats Peak race was a lot of fun. Course felt like it changed every time you went down it. It was very rocky and awkward. I got 8th place in a packed group of locals that ride there often. Really happy with my bike and the how it did on the course and absolutely love it!"
Virginia Off-Road Series (VORS): Fat Tire Frenzy at Falling Creek Park. Bedford, VA.
Lester has been a good sport about driving around the Mid-Atlantic region to make it to many of the MASS races. Last weekend, Lester got to stay close to home and enjoy a local race.
From Lester:
"VORS has been running in the state since 2007 and boasts 20+ events across XC and Endurance events, even some Short Track, Dual Slalom, and Duathlon action. The race calendar runs from March to October allowing for plenty of competition. This weekend was one of the mainstays to the calendar, The Fat Tire Frenzy in Bedford, VA. Sunday's XC race highlighted the efforts of the County Parks and Recreation Trails Specialist. If you've never been, it's an ideal MTB retreat destination with access to other major trail systems in a 1.5 hour radius."
"The Expert Male Open field was fairly small but packed some heavy hitters meaning an honest race… At 10:30am we started our race and the field segregated quickly. Sitting in the second group I started to see a gap open to the front 5 or so riders and sprinted around two other guys to join them. That front group kept the gas on and I watched them pull away in the woods. I sat solo for five minutes trying to bridge before slowing my tempo and allowing the next group behind me to latch on. The new group pushed a great pace and we ripped through the first and second segments of single track. The third section of trail took us along more rolling terrain littered with quartz rocks and roots as we weaved back and forth through the woods… I finished up the second lap in decent shape and took a bottle feed from some friends from Richmond who came down for the race. My third lap was focused on riding clean lines and carrying speed since the other group was well out of sight."
"My skills have sharpened and riding the 27.5 XTC Advanced felt at home on these trails. Later I would find out that the Trails Specialist was riding a 650B bike when he first built these trails so it was no coincidence. The temperatures in mid-80's were deceptive and with about 2 miles to go my left quad cramped up forcing me to stand and stretch through the remaining course. About a quarter mile to the course my leg started to relax and I threw a big effort to finish strong. Though my result was not ideal, I was happy with how I was riding and glad to be back racing at home."
Lester's Current Soundtrack: Foo Fighters – Walk

text: 0 Educator Workforce Convening* One of the most enjoyable aspects of my research is finding and reporting on programs — both educational and corporate — that are taking unique and innovative actions to improve education. This summer, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Carole Basile, Dean of Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College ("MLFTC") at ASU. What followed was an exciting dive into what ASU is doing to change the role of teachers, and the vision ASU has for the future of education. Dr. Basile pointed me in the direction of Dr. Brent Maddin, also a doctor of education and the person chosen to fill a new position at ASU: Executive Director of the Next Education Workforce. And it was the perfect connection. Dr. Maddin is leading a team (supported by foundations, as well as other funding and thought partners) at ASU that is taking aim at two significant problems facing the education profession today: 1.) fewer people are interested in becoming teachers, and 2.) for the first time since polling began, a majority of parents answered "no" to the question, "Would you like to have your child take up teaching in a public school?" In our conversation, Dr. Maddin expressed his concern with how we are staffing schools, and how too often the profession looks the same on day one as it does on day 10,000. I am delighted to report that in order to address some of these glaring issues, MLFTC is deploying over 300 teacher candidates in team-based residencies in 11 school districts, and is working with a growing number of schools on designing teams of professional educators. Dr. Maddin's goal, very much in line with the ASU focus on innovation and community impact championed by ASU President Dr. Michael Crow, is to create the Next Education Workforce. That initiative intends to: Question assumptions (e.g. are we educating kids based on the past practices, or preparing them for the future?" Create coalitions (Bring someone from the community in as a part-time educator/mentor? Check.) Listen to teachers in the field (and as a pilot, start with Arizona schools), and Build a set of concrete resources and trainings to share what ASU is learning with more schools that are innovating in their systems to generate better outcomes and experiences for kids and educators. The premise of the initiative is that teaching needs to be made into a job that is wildly exciting, and where people want to engage. I am personally excited to see where this innovative team takes us. And I look forward to working together and collaborating with ASU in their research on team teaching and in the preparation of community educators. I hope you read in detail the new thinking and innovations that Dr. Maddin is pursuing in a recent column he wrote. An excerpt follows. On an unseasonably brisk mid-May afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona, nearly 100 people sat at tables playing with unusual baseball cards. While the cards lacked player names, they did have position names. And there were a lot more than nine positions. In fact, there were more than 30. There was no shortstop or left fielder. But there was a "Teacher, Science" and a "Teacher, Media Arts." There were cards for receptionists and principals, custodians and math coaches. The deck of cards contained roles for paraprofessionals, experienced teachers, and teaching novices. Instead of batting averages, cards indicated whether a role required certification and how many years of relevant experience the person filling that role had. Read the entire article here, and start the conversation right here on our website. *Photo Courtesy of ASU: Next Education Workforce Arizona State University: Rethinking the Teacher Role, and Implementing "Community Educators"2019-08-112019-08-11http://teachtow.wwwss35.a2hosted.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/teach-to-work-logo-2.pnghttp://teachtowork.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/p1015243.jpg200px200px

Chris Zelinka, Zachary A Goodman, William A Bishop, Andrew J Fischer; PTEN/mTor-signaling and the formation of Müller glia-derived retinal progenitors. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2014;55(13):831. doi: https://doi.org/.

The Akt/mTor pathway is an important cell-signaling pathway that can influence many cellular processes including growth and proliferation. During the development of the eye, Akt/mTor-signaling is known to have important context-specific functions. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the roles that Akt/mTor-signaling plays in the mature retina. Accordingly, we investigate the roles of the Akt/mTor pathway in the formation of Müller glia-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) in the retina in the chick model system in vivo.
: Immunocytochemistry was used to characterize the expression of pS6 (an effector and readout of the Akt/mTor pathway) in developing, mature and damaged chick retinas. The PTEN-inhibitor (VO-OHpic trihydrate) or mTor-inhibitor (rapamycin) were injected into the vitreous chamber of normal and damaged eyes. Retinas were processed for cell proliferation and glial reactivity. Retinal damage was induced by an intraocular injection of N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA).
pS6 is widely expressed by differentiating cells in embryonic retina, but there are minimal levels in a mature, normal retina. Upon excitotoxic damage, pS6 in Müller glia is highly up-regulated within 4hrs after damage and remains elevated for 2 days. This up-regulation of pS6 was blocked by rapamycin. Treatment with PTEN-inhibitor increased, while treatment with rapamycin inhibited, the number of proliferating MGPCs.
Akt/mTor-signaling in mature Müller glial regulates the ability of these glia to become proliferating progenitor-like cells. We conclude that the Akt pathway is not active in a normal retina, the Akt/mTOR pathway is rapidly activated in Müller glia in damaged retinas, and the activation of this pathway is required for the formation of MGPCs.

Flexibility should be built into lease arrangements, Business Post, April 05 2020
Good communication between landlord and tenant can go a long way to helping come to an agreement during these difficult times
A highly reversionary office investment opportunity located within Ballybrit Business Park, a well-established commercial park on the outskirts of Galway city, has come to market with agent TWM. The investment comprises two office buildings, extending to some 1,847 square metres gross internal area in total on a 0.8-acre site.
Latest deal brings value of Corum's portfolio in Ireland and Northern Ireland to €146m.
French asset management company, Corum, has increased its overall investment in Ireland and Northern Ireland to over €146 million with the acquisition of the Tesco supermarket in Gorey, Co Wexford, for about €21 million.
Allianz House fully-let on 31-year lease and is delivering €2.9m in annual rental income.
A wide range of Irish and international investors are expected to express an interest in the sale of the Irish headquarters of Allianz at Elmpark Green in Dublin 4.
79-83 Prussia Street offers scope for 17 units at the heart of Dublin's Stoneybatter.
Investors and developers looking to take advantage of Stoneybatter's newly-minted status as "Ireland's coolest neighbourhood" may be interested in an opportunity which has been brought to the market on Prussia Street at a guide price of €1.5 million.

Private developers are returning to the property market in Galway, but state agencies have also recognised that they need to generate supply in order to build commercial facilities and attract international employers beyond Dublin.
The two big projects are part of a response to heightened interest in the city
Developers have begun to respond to demand for commercial property in Galway, and Gerry Barrett is leading the charge with two major city centre projects. Similarly, investors are also demonstrating increased interest in the City of the Tribes as reflected in recent deals.
Sarah Winters of agent TWM is seeking offers in excess of €1.6m plus VAT for 13 partially-completed residential units distributed across the Cuirt na hAbhainn estate in Claregalway, Co. Galway, an established residential development within Claregalway village approximately 11.6kms from Galway city centre.
While there is a full pipeline of development in the wings, much of this is unlikely to be built without pre-lets in place. That should prevent the office market from any major oversupply in the medium term
Agents TWM expects considerable interest in a high-yielding retail investment in Dublin's north inner city – a share of a convenience store let to Musgrave Ltd. and trading as Centre at North King Street in Dublin 1.

TWM Economic & Commercial Property Highlights September 2017
TWM are delighted to support Peter McVerry Trust "Sponsor a Brick" campaign again this year. We encourage all property related businesses to do the same and you can donate here: www.pmvtrust.ie/donate
In our second report of a series on "Economic and Commercial Property Highlights" this year, TWM examined a range of economic indicators and global events that have an impact on the property market here at home.
The report, which was produced in association with economic consultant Stephen Walsh, provides some details on recent commercial property investment transactions. The indicators, while somewhat mixed, support underlying demand in all sectors of the property market.
The high profile Faustina Building on the Tuam Road in Galway has sold for in excess of €1.7 million through sales agents TWM. The vacant commercial building, which was in shell and core condition, was sold by TWM on behalf of receiver Tom Kavanagh of Deloitte.
The Delvin Centre in Stamullen, Co. Meath, has been sold for €2.35m – some 23pc above the guide price that had been sought by agents TWM when they brought it to the market on the instruction of receiver Stephen Tennant of Grant Thornton.
A landmark office building in the town of Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim, has been sold for over €6.2m – a premium of more than 11pc on the €5.47m which had been guided by the property's selling agents, TWM.
In 2010 there were just two investment deals completed in Ireland, one of which was the pre-funding of the new Tesco Supermarket in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, by the Israeli investor Igal Ahouvi. Following the delivery of the new property in 2011, Tesco moved from its smaller 1,900 sq m (20,000 sq ft) store at Roscrea Shopping Centre to the state-of-the-art, stand-alone 4,300 sq m (46,000 sq ft) store it occupies today.
European investors are increasingly looking for risk-averse property investments with strong returns to replace the current negative interest rate environment, low investment returns and the expected volatility in the equity markets.
The seismic events of 2016 will see "uncertainty" become the buzzword for 2017. With the precise direction of Brexit still unknown, Trump's late-night tweets, elections this year in France and Germany, this uncertainty will continue. Such uncertainty makes decision-making difficult. If 2016 taught us anything, it is the importance of preparing for all eventualities. The following trends are worth watching out for this year.
TWM expects strong demand for No. 32 Newcastle Road, Galway, which it is bringing to the market for sale. This semidetached two storey over basement mixed use investment building is situated within a busy location on the fringe of Galway city centre, immediately opposite University Hospital Galway.
TWM are delighted to be shortlisted in the Property Excellence Awards again this year in the Commercial Agency of the Year category. We are looking forward to attending the awards in November for what is sure to be an enjoyable night.
Concerns in relation to Finance Minister Michael Noonan's intentions in the Budget for the tax treatment of the commercial property sector were to the fore in discussions between agents and investors with an interest in the Irish market at the Expo Real real estate fair in Munich last week.
Well done to our two TWM teams who took part in the Grant Thornton 5km race in Dublin Docklands on Tuesday 13 September 2016.

I grew up in a family where everybody loved to cook. My brother and I would watch my parents cook every day, this is when my love of food began. Cooking and eating together from the very beginning is one of the most important things families can do together. My husband often works late, but everyone waits for him so that we can sit together and enjoy simple and healthy meals as a family. My three top tips:
I try to make simple and easy recipes that everyone will enjoy. It's not practical to be a short-order cook, making something different for everyone in the house. All the recipes on my website DanaWhiteNutrition.com are quick, healthy and easy to modify so that everyone at the table is happy. During the week, I often make healthy pizzas, soups, sandwiches, and tacos – things that can be easily modified to please everyone. Mom and dad can pile on some of their favorite toppings and so can the kids.
Lack of time, money and the misconception that cooking healthy is just "too hard" are the complaints I hear most often. But there are plenty of ways to make healthy, affordable and delicious meals every night of the week.
Five things you can do:
I think it's a wonderful idea and I'm jealous we don't have something like it in more of our schools. It will be challenging to execute, but anything that gets kids in the kitchen and shows them that cooking can be easy and fun is fine by me.
Eating with the seasons benefits our health and the health of the environment. Seasonal foods are at the peak of freshness and nutrition. Since available produce changes with the seasons, it's a built-in way to include variety in your diet. Variety is important to make sure you are giving your body all the nutrients it needs. It is also a great way to get in touch with your area. We like to visit our local farm and talk to our farmer about what foods are in season. We look forward to what the different months have to offer, like strawberries in late June, zucchini in July, and butternut squash in late September.
I write a series for my blog called Market Watch where I share some of my favorite farmers market finds. I encourage people to explore their local farms and markets. That's how we eat at my house and I suggest the same to my clients.
Here's a recent Market Watch post for Rainbow Chard.
I hope that more restaurants post nutrition information (not just the ones that are required to do so). It can help parents can make informed decisions. I don't think that the lowest calorie option on the menu is always the best choice, but sometimes those numbers can be really eye-opening.
Parents should also pay attention to things like added sugars and the quality of the ingredients. The smartest thing parents can do become educated in how to read a food label – it's tricky! I think most people just peak at the numbers. The most useful information is in the ingredient list. Here are helpful tips on dining out healthy for the whole family.
I'm so lucky that my husband and I love to cook and eat healthy food. Now that I'm a mother, my goal is to keep doing what I have always done – make healthy and delicious food from whole ingredients. I hope to lead by example and that my children grow up to love food as much as my husband and I do.
Do something active every day as a family. Head out to the beach to collect shells, walk the dog, visit the local playground or even just take a long walk around the neighborhood. When the weather is bad, have a family dance party in the living room – it all counts as exercise and it's a great way for everyone in the family to bond. It teaches children that exercise is important and that mom and dad take the time to stay in shape as well. When my daughter is playing on her play mat, I sneak in a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups. She loves to watch her mommy bounce up and down and I get a little resistance training in at the same time. Actively play every day!
Healthy cooking is so much more than counting calories. It's about whole foods and simple preparation methods coming together to create something truly delicious. There is definitely a growing interest and demand for nutritious recipes that are tasty and easy to get on the table. More and more people are finding their way back into the kitchen to eat more healthfully and to save money. Cooking shows teach people about food and how to prepare it. We created the Healthy Eats blog so that we could shine a light on the numerous healthy recipes from all the shows on Food Network as well as the ones created by our staff dietitians. Learn how to make cooking with the kids a family event with our Healthy Kids Today, Prevent Cancer Tomorrow recipes, activities and tips!

How long has it been in business?
Nordstrom Inc. opened its first store location in Seattle, WA in 1901 with the business collaboration between John W. Nordstrom and his partner Carl Wallin (Wallin & Nordstrom, originally only a shoe store and shoe repair shop). The store's ownership was then turned over to John W. Nordstrom's sons after Nordstrom and Wallin retired. · How has the business changed in the past 5-10 years?
With its recent partnership with online retailer FiftyOne Global Commerce, Nordstrom has aimed to penetrate global markets with its high-end fashion selection. Nordstrom Inc. has long been hailed as a top-tier fashion-retail company in the United States, and wishes to apply their same business model in their interaction with global consumers. (Powerpoint Chapter 5: Retail Market Strategy, "Growth Opportunities") Additionally, Nordstrom Inc. aims to open more Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores throughout the United States. Nordstrom also aims to expand its presence on the online fashion-retail industry, competing with other fashion retail stores that already have good presence on the online market (Zara, H&M).

· What is the mission statement?
"At Nordstrom, our goal is to provide outstanding service everyday, one customer at a time." ( http://retailindustry.about.com/od/retailbestpractices/ig/Company-Mission-Statements/Nordstrom-Stores-Mission-Statement.htm
· Are there plans to expand, penetrate, diversify, or change their retail format in the near future? There are two new business practices Nordstrom Inc. aims to apply to their business model: 1) Online, "same-day delivery policy": offers customers the ability to order fashion items from actual retail locations, and have purchases delivered to their addresses on the same day upon order. 2) Market expansion into Canada; fashion trends in consumerism in Canada has been well documented to show that fashion consumption patterns are very similar to consumers in the United States, which is why partnership with FiftyOne Global Commerce is vital to Nordstrom's global expansion (
B. Retail Strategy
1. Who is the Target Market:
· Define the customer according to demographics (age, gender, income level, education etc.) Fashion inventory offers high-end brands with premium seasonal trends, which garners a higher price for fashion products. Evidently, a more affluent 20-40 yr. demographic is targeted with the selection of brand partnerships Nordstrom Inc. has made. More specifically, Nordstrom Inc. is a sales leader in shoe-retail and women's fashion-retail according to fiscal its financial reports from 2011 last year Dec. Specifically, both women's and men's shoe apparel category markets are forecasted to be highly saturated ( http://academic.mintel.com.flagship.luc.edu/sinatra/oxygen/display/?no_redirect&id=590589), and Nordstrom being one of the top carriers in shoe apparel in high-end fashion industry will be able to tap into a very valuable market.
· Trade Area – primary, secondary, tertiary (refer to Chap. 8) Nordstrom's trade areas are usually located in the main metropolitan centers of highly populated cities with bustling economic growth in the fashion retail industry. Nordstrom's primary zone comprises of its main consumer base that live in proximity to their city-centered locations with high customer traffic and easy accessibility. Its secondary and tertiary zones are comprised of its Nordstrom Rack consumer base, and online-shopper base.
2. Merchandise Assortment:
· What are the major brands carried?
Nordstrom has partnerships with brands including Polo Ralph Lauren, North Face, Nike, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gucci, S. Perry, Top Shop, and Bonobos ( http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/stores-go-online-to-find-a-perfect-fit/).
· Does it offer private brands?
Yes, Nordstrom carries many items under its private label brand. Despite not offering any standout discount prices, Nordstrom does not have to since these private label brands cannot be purchased anywhere else.
· Where does this retailer's merchandise fit on the category life cycle? (Chap. 12) Why do you think they chose this stage of the life cycle? As Nordstrom carries fashion merchandise with an unpredictable demand, it is difficult to forecast/predict level of profitability and sales in terms of quickly selling and replenishing inventory. Typical amongst most fashion-retail stores, Nordstrom will carry inventory much earlier for their planned seasonal release (for instance, Nordstrom is selling off their "summer" inventory they received months ago, and are carrying their "autumn" inventory). A FIFO approach to their merchandise is the best choice considering the category mix involved with their variety of brands; each brand with extensive variation of sizes, colors, and styles. This breadth of high quality products is perpetuated in Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale ( http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/anniversary-sale) and Half Yearly Sale ( http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2012/06/06/nordstrom-half-yearly-sale-for-men-starts-june-15/), which serve as highly contributive events to sustain the company's competitive advantage.

Sakurada Reset Episode 4: That looked painful
Published on April 28, 2017
I really don't like how this series constantly makes me feel like nothing has been thought out. I admit this episode did make more sense than some of the previous episodes, but the experience of actually watching it was really frustrating. I think it's because the main revelations in this episode are largely obvious because the scenes that lead up to them are too absurd otherwise. And the vaguely explained powers really aren't helping.
My main unanswered question of the episode is why did the second reset actually work on Murase? In both instances, she says the same thing to activate her ability, and yet the reset in the first fight of the episode erases her memory while the reset in the second fight doesn't. If you ask me, I think that the scene is put there solely so that Kei can figure out that she's keeping her memory after the reset. If she was trying to fake out Kei in the first fight by acting like she was going to keep her memory after the reset when she really wanted to forget, she wouldn't need to say anything.
Side note: I don't particularly mind the multiple flashbacks to Sumire in this episode. I think it's meant to show that Kei is constantly reminded of the last day he spent with her or that he purposely revisits it to try and figure out what happened.
Well, this is awkward. I was going with "people in Sakurada inherently know how their powers work" as an excuse for why Misora knows how her reset works. I guess not.
This girl's pretty expressive for this series. To be fair, I quite like it, but it still needs to be said.
I'm sure this is a translation thing, but "information" is a really vague word. For example, you could argue that a person's entire existence is a sum of information. What exactly does he steal? Memories? Thoughts? This is actually interesting, but apparently it's more important to liken him to a vampire.
First off, let me just say that this scene feels way too casual for what's at stake. Murase's trying to erase Kei from existence, right? Next up, she chooses to erase gravel, which I'm assuming is an attempt to make it so she can't trip when she's moving around, but it creates a much bigger problem. Why does she restrict the "human body" erasing bit to her right hand?
This fight is clearly a distraction, right? That's the only way I can reconcile everything. It's probably meant as an empty threat to force the reset to happen. That would explain why Murase handicaps herself by only using her right hand and why the scene doesn't feel dramatic. It even explains the scene where Kei notices that the erased things return to existence after some time has passed. Why erase Kei from existence if he would reappear soon after the fact?
Hah! Get it? It's a literal MacGuffin! Funny, right? Right??
I'm having the hardest time believing this.
This ability is so confusing. Why does she need to specify that the fingernails stab people? Does declaring a purpose for the body part in the first sentence change the way the ability manifests? Does it make that so that the ability only activates if she's stabbing a person with her fingernails? Either she's purposely misleading Kei about her ability or this series has no idea how her power works either.
I've watched this entire conversation twice and I still don't understand why Kei should save this girl. Plus, what's up with this line? The Bureau will punish Murase severely for harming another ability user? What if she harmed a non-ability user? Shouldn't that receive even harsher treatment?
Again, why is she here?
Change the Bureau from within it! Where have I heard this before?
While this explanation is largely okay, I still don't understand what the MacGuffin had to do with anything. It seems like it's only purpose was to get Murase and Kei to interact together more seriously. Maybe it was just a misdirection for Murase's true intentions, but when you look at the entire story in the context of Murase's goal of saving the cat, it has no business existing.
This is the problem with a series revolving around a magic town where any ability is possible. There's literally no way this doesn't get undone, so it has no impact.
Just in case you thought Misora was actually changing after seeing Kei's death, here's a reminder that she gets that wiped clean.
Flow - Captain NyanpasuApril 28, 2017, 5:31 p.m.
Yup yup. Great episode lol
I don't know why I enjoy this show.. maybe the reason is somewhere between "it kinda makes sense", "it is a concept that works for me", "Haruki is weird, cute and useless except her reset skill" and "Protag-kun is insane and he'll be save 'cause the events after the reset won't change for him!"
I mean.. would you really let yourself be killed after you saw a couple of changes after the resets?
marthaurionApril 28, 2017, 5:56 p.m.
eh...the concept is interesting and a decent amount of it makes sense. but id say that there are still some gaping holes in these episodes.
why not? :D
