Mark Byrnes
Mark Byrnes is a former senior associate editor at CityLab who writes about design and architecture.
Back in the 1980s, before 24-hour cable TV networks were ubiquitous, late-night television offerings were limited at best. If you were unlucky enough to find yourself still awake at 3 a.m., finding anything to watch beyond a test pattern or an infomercial was nearly impossible. If you lived in Toronto, however, you were blessed with a rather unusual series of early-early-morning programs that have since found a second life thanks to the Internet.
Starting in 1986, a privately-owned network called Global TV aired a series of late-night "shows" titled Night Ride, Night Walk, and Night Moves. They ran for just about seven years, with the final Night Ride airing in 1993. Each one had an extremely simple premise: raw footage of what it looked like to cruise around the city of Toronto—sometimes by foot, sometimes by car—after the sun went down. Depending on your mood, the results could be calm enough to lull you to sleep, or interesting enough to make you feel less weird about watching TV so late.
With its jazz soundtrack, the footage had an air of '80s cool, but it certainly got weird sometimes. One episode of Night Moves showcased the interior of Toronto's convention center, a new but rather dull structure. As the Steadicam gave viewers a tour, singer Sharon Lee Williams tried to up the city's fertility rate with her song, "Oh Yes There Will Be Love," which included lyrics like:
We're getting to the moment we've been waiting for
Getting ready now to make love
So move a little closer so I can see what's in your eyes
Before you kiss me and you ask for more.
Never since has a convention center been the source of so much romance. As absurd as that audio/visual combination may seem, local blog Torontoist wrote of the segment in 2009, "addicts of the show could be marked by how well they knew the lyrics" to the song.
The videos have since been uploaded to YouTube, where loyal viewers leave wistful comments recalling what they were doing when they first saw the Night programs almost three decades ago. GlobalTV now broadcasts infomercials like everyone else, but with Toronto's convention center renovated just last fall, it'd be crazy to not ask Ms. Williams for a 2014 update of her song.
Now more than ever, public transportation is not just about ridership. Buses, trains, and subways make urban civilization possible.
The coronavirus crisis stands to dramatically reshape cities around the world. But the biggest revolutions in urban space may have begun before the pandemic.
As reports of harassment and assault against Asian Americans increase, community advocates are finding new ways to tackle the spread of xenophobia.
With cities in lockdown and workplaces closed, the big drop in traffic and transit riders allows road repair and construction projects to rush forward.
What do we know so far about the types of places that are more susceptible to the spread of Covid-19? In the U.S., density is just the beginning of the story.

The Olympus Pen E-P5 is a stylish modern-day take on an Olympus film camera from the 1960s, packed with new and improved features as well as a clever body design that enhances its handling, writes Tim Coleman. Read the Olympus Pen E-P5 review...
Olympus Pen E-P5 review
Olympus Pen E-P5 review – Metering
The E-P5 uses exactly the same 324-zone multi-pattern metering system as the OM-D and other current Pen cameras. With such quick access to exposure compensation for tweaks to exposure, one can largely leave the camera in its (handily) predictable multi-pattern metering mode, which, on the whole, provides accurate exposure settings.
There are, of course, the usual centreweighted and spot-metering options available, as well as spot-highlight and spot-shadow modes. The spot modes are locked to the central point only, working independently from the focus point (unless the focus point is the central point itself). While it can be an advantage for the focus point and metering point to be separate, more often than not one wants the point of focus to be metered for correctly. By manually setting the camera to lock exposure (AEL) when the shutter is half depressed, one can then recompose the shot once the spot reading from the central point has been taken.

impulse to fix my eyes upon this tomb, on which reclined the sculptured figure of Sir William, nearly as large as life.
While my eyes remained, as it were, fastened on this object, could I be deceived by the shadows of the moonlight, or did 1 in reality perceive a moving form apparently rising from that tomb? Ah no! it was no vision of the imagination: I distinctly saw a long lean arm raised above the sepulchre, and, a moment afterwards, the ghastly apparition of a human face, pale, wild, and unearthly, glared on me with eyes expressive of misery and despair. I stood unable to move a limb; every faculty of body and mind seemed frozen up in horror: the spectre advanced a step from the monument, and in that moment my senses were almost paralysed by the most heart-rending sound that ever appalled a mortal ear—it was the yell of despair—it was the cry of human suffering, with a strange and horrible mixture of the agony of a dying animal. I sank down totally overpowered: all that I had heard recurred to my mind, which became a chaos of terror and superstitious alarms, and I lost all consciousness of the hortors that surrounded me in a temporary insensibility.
I know not how long I remained in this state almost approaching death, but, when I in some degree recovered myself, I found that I had fallen on the floor of the pew, and, asmy mind was gradually restored to recollection, I endeavoured to persuade myself that I had been deluded by a phantom of the imagination. I thought how often we are victims to our over-excited fancies. My senses might have been bewildered; I might after all only have dreamed. In this idea, I slowly rose from my recumbent posture, determined to examine the tomb myself, and to be convinced, that my mind had been under a temporary derangement. I stood up; I looked to the door of the pew, when, oh dreadful sight I the same ghastly and horrid face met my view, as the spectre leaned over it, with its glaring eyes fixed on mine. My sensations I have hardly words to describe: by no power could I withdraw my eyes from this object: for hours did I remain thus spell-bound; I felt as if the blood had congealed in my veins ", my temples ached with intense agony, and every hair on my head felt as if it was endued with a living power, and was moved by some invisible mechanism. I felt that my senses were deserting me, but I was not mad ; for through that long and dreadful night did I distinctly hear the hours told by the church clock, which returned in dismal echoes to my ear. Horror at last became despair; I rose in frantic wildness to rush from my prison, when again did the spectre utter that soul-appalling sound. Every object, the church, the monuments, seemed to rock and reel around me, my eyes emitted sparks of fire, and from that moment I lost all recollection of many weeks of my existence.
My story appears terrific, and it was indeed truly so to me, and yet the events 'were in reality very common, and such as, had my mind, instead of being in a state of excitement and terror, been capable of calm investigation, would not to me have been the cause of such protracted suffering. The next morning, the woman who had the care of sweeping the church came to it early to prepare it for the approaching service, and she found me raving in a paroxysm of delirium, and the poor innocent cause of my fear himself terrified and alarmed. He was a pauper belonging to a village some miles distant: he was born deaf and dumb, and had, as he grew up, been found to be also an idiot. His parents had supported him decently while they lived: but, on their death, the care of him had devolved on the parish; he had grown old in poverty, sickness, and dependence; but he was perfectly harmless, and the neighbouring farmers never refused him a meal. Frequently in the summer season he wandered around for days together, taking his scanty food from the hand of charity, and his nightly rest in barns or outhouses: it was supposed that he had wandered into the church, where he had fallen asleep; and when he awoke, he was the unconscious cause to me of terror never to be forgotten, by his meagre and ghastly appearance, and his horrid and uncouth attempts at articulation.
I remained long on a bed of suffering: a frenzy fever left me reduced to almost infantine weakness. Of its effects on me corporeally and mentally you may judge, when I tell you, that when I entered that church my hair was brown and glossy as the chesnut, and that when I rose from my bed it was grey as you now see it. My limbs, which were strong and agile, have ever since trembled with paralysis; and my mind, which was once cheerful, energetic, and courageous, is now desponding, weak, and timid.

"With thee my spirit strays
Amid the land, and in the light
We have gathered lilies oft
On these old green garden walks,
As we tied the stalks
Underneath the hawthorn bough—
We ne'er parted sorrowless,
Or met without a smile of yore—
We but felt it more.
For hearts like ours to breath one vow-
Thou'rt to another now.
"Of ghastly castle which eternally
Holds its blind visage out to the lane sea."
Author Of Rimini.
tii Ill frown'st thou on the blue sea wave,
And on the flowery land-
Thy look of old command.
But the chill spirit of decay
Amid thine inmost chamber wails— Where the unshelter'd floor reflects The cloud that o'er it sails.
Thy gateway is all grass-grown now—
No coming—no departing train,
And were there hearts that gave to thee, The earth-endearing name of home y
About thy oaken-seated hall, And winding lobbies, and among
Yes ! and thy desolateness speaks A touching moral to the mind—
It tells that we must pass away, When a few hastening years have fled,
Thk widow of Governor Atheling returned from the East Indies, old, rich, and childless; and as she had none but very distant relations her affections naturally turned towards the earliest friends of her youth; one of whom she found still living, and residing in a largo country town.
She therefore hired a house and grounds adjacent, in a village very near to this lady's abode, and became not only her frequent but welcome guest. This old friend was a widow in narrow circumstances, with four daughters slenderly provided for; and she justly concluded that, if she and her family could endear themselves to their opulent guest, they should in all probability inherit some of her property. In the meanwhile, as she never visited them without bringing with her, in great abundance, whatever was wanted for the table, and might therefore be said to contribute to their maintenance, without seeming to intend to do so, they took incessant pains to conciliate her more and more every day, by flatteries which she did not see through, and attentions which she deeply felt. Still, the Livingstones were not in spirit united to their amiable guest. The sorrows of her heart had led her, by slow degrees, to seek refuge in a religious course of life; and, spite of her proneness to self-deception, she could not conceal from herself that, on this most important subject, the Livingstones had never thought seriously, and were, as yet, entirely women of the world. But still her heart longed to love something; and as her starved affections craved some daily food, she suffered herself to love this plausible, amusing, agreeable, and seemingly-affectionate family; and she every day lived in hope, that, by her precepts and example, she should ultimately tear them from that "world they loved too well." Sweet and precious to their own souls are the illusions of the good; and the deceived East-Indian was happy, because she did not understand the true nature of the Livingstones.
On the contrary, so fascinated was she by what she fancied they were, or might become, that she took very little notice of a shamefaced, awkward, retiring, silent girl, the only child of the dearest friend that her childhood and her youth had known,—and who had been purposely introduced to her only as Fanny Barnwell. For the Livingstones were too selfish, and too prudent, to let their rich friend knowthat this poor girl was the orphan of Fanny Beaumont. Withholding, therefore, the most important part of the truth, they only informed her that Fanny Barnwell was an orphan, who was glad to

live amongst her friends, that she might make her small income sufficient for her wants; but they took care not to add that she was mistaken in supposing that Fanny Beaumont, whose long silence and subsequent death she had bitterly deplored, had died childless; for that she had married a second husband, by whom she had the poor orphan in question, and had lived many years in sorrow and obscurity, the result of this imprudent marriage; resolving, however, in order to avoid accidents, that Fanny's visit should not be of long duration. In the meanwhile, they confided in the security afforded them by what may be called their " passive lie of interest." But, in order to make "assurance doubly sure," they had also recourse to the " active lie of interest;" and, in order to frighten Fanny from ever daring to inform their visitor that she was the child of Fanny Beaumont, they assured her that that lady was so enraged against her poor mother, for having married her unworthy father, that no one dared to mention her name to her; as it never failed to draw from her the most violent abuse of her once dearest friend. "And you know, Fanny," they took care to add, " that you could not bear to hear your poor mother abused."—" No; that I could not, indeed," was the weeping girl's answer; and the Livingstones feltsafe and satisfied. However, it still might not be amiss to make the old lady dislike Fanny, if they could; and they contrived to render the poor girl's virtue the means of doing her injury.
Fanny's mother could not bequeath much money to her child; but she had endeavoured to enrich her with principles and piety. Above all, she had impressed her with the strictest regard for truth; —and the Livingstones artfully contrived to make her integrity the means of displeasing their East-Indian friend.
This good old lady's chief failing was believing implicitly whatever was said in her commendation: not that she loved flattery, but that she liked to believe she had conciliated good-will; and that, being sincere herself, she never thought of distrusting the sincerity of others.
Nor was she at all vain of her once fine person, and finer face, or improperly fond of dress. Still, from an almost pitiable degree of bon/iommie, she allowed the Livingstones to dress her as they liked; and, as they chose to make her wear fashionable and younglooking attire, in which they declared that she looked " so handsome! and so well!" she believed they were the best judges of what was proper for her, and always replied, "Well, dear friends, it is entirely a matter of indifference to me; so dress me as you please;" while the Livingstones, not believing that it was a matter of indifference, used to laugh, as soon as she was gone, at her obvious credulity.

Chile and Renewable Electricity.
Currently, renewables generates 40% of Chile's energy demands. They have a very aggressive target to increase this to 60% by 2035 and 70% by 2050. Chile is becoming an attractive market for renewable energy investments as result of this fantastic commitment.
In fact, according to the International Energy Agency ( IAE ).
To attain a 60% share of renewable power by 2035 at the least cost, the share of solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power must increase considerably.
They have just recently announced 4 projects that will provide an additional 400 Mwatts of clean solar electricity. ACCIONA will build these units with an investment of 500 million euros.
The company will install two new solar photovoltaic plants in the regions of Atacama and Antofagasta, and two wind farms in La Araucanía, with a total capacity of around 400 MW.
Over three years ACCIONA Energía will build two new photovoltaic plants and two wind farms in Chile, with a total capacity of around 400 MW and an investment of approximately 600 million dollars (around 500 million euros at current exchange rates).
In early 2019 the company will start construction work on the 62 MWp capacity Almeyda photovoltaic plant; it is expected to be completed at the end of the year. Consisting of solar modules with horizontal tracker technology, it will cover 150 hectares in the locality of Diego de Almagro in the region of Atacama.
A few months later, in the third trimester of 2019, ACCIONA Energía will begin the construction of the 64 MWp Usya photovoltaic plant, with entry into service planned for mid-2020. With solar modules mounted on fixed structures, it will cover 105 hectares in Calama in the region of Antofagasta.
With the energy produced by these two photovoltaic plants, at a total investment of around 150 million dollars (125 million euros), the company will cover its supply commitments taken on in a PPA recently signed with the National Mining Company of Chile (ENAMI).
ACCIONA is currently constructing in the municipality of Renaico (La Araucanía) the San Gabriel wind farm (183 MW), with an investment of 300 million dollars (around 250 million euros). It is expected to enter service towards the end of 2019 or in early 2020.
Very nearby, the company will also build the Tolpán wind farm, a facility with an initially planned capacity of 87 MW that is still pending exact confirmation. The energy produced there will enable the company to cover supply commitments to regulated customers arising from the capacity awarded to it in energy auctions. The associated investment will be close to 150 million dollars (around 125 million euros).
"We are undertaking major investments over this three-year period, which will considerably strengthen our presence in the thriving renewable energy sector in Chile", says ACCIONA Energía CEO, South America José Ignacio Escobar.
ACCIONA currently has 291 MW of renewables in service in Chile: 246 MWp in the El Romero Solar photovoltaic plant in the region of Atacama and 45 MW in the Punta Palmeras wind farm in the region of Coquimbo. With the facilities under construction and those planned for the 2018-2020 period, the company will reach a capacity of 700 MW in the country (372 MWp photovoltaic and 315 MW wind).

Customer Feedback- customer feedback is when a customer gives your business a feedback or their product when they are finished with it. e.g you finish a meal and a waiter asks you if everything was fine, this is a cheap, easy and informal way of getting customer feedback.
Customer questionnaire- many business want more information than would fit on a comment card so they issue questionnaires for customers to complete. Tesco's send out questionnaires to find information about their service.
Customer Comment Cards- its like a questionnaire but smaller, questionnaires may be sent more widely to existing customers and previous customers who have not made a purchase for some time to find out why. starbucks have comment cards on their table to fill.
Staff Feedback- staff feedback is very important for two reasons. First, many staff deal directly with external customers. They can therefore pass on comment made by customers- both positive and negative. Staff talk to each other to show how improvements can be made.
Mystery Customers- Tescos send a mystery customer to see how their stores are doing around the UK ans they check the following.
- Speed of service
- the way in which the service was delivered
- the attitude of the staff
- the quality of the finished results.
Complaints and Compliment Letter- If a customer makes a complaints, either by telephone or letter, this indicates a possible problem area. If several complaints are recieved about the same thing, there is obviously a serious problem that needs immediate attention.
a compliment letter i when a customer sends a lettter saying how well your service and products are doing e.g sending a compliment letter when your happy with them

Body image, what a strange bedfellow. For a sad reason, body image will always be a friend or foe because depending on how the days in going, you're either going to like the way you look, or you won't. Sadly, even if you look like a knockout 10, the inside mind could see something else. The eyes of the body can look into the mirror and see fear, fear of rejection and loss of love because of how one looks. For a mental health professional, we know that body image can lead in too many disorders, diagnosable disorders that can have terrible repercussions. Let's face it, we all like to look good, we all want to feel good in our own skin, but sadly this is not always the case. I started my own series about how mental health and physical health are connected. I used to be a tiny thing in high school, but even then, I did not have a positive view of my body. After two kids, I did not realize that at 125 pounds I was thinner than most women after having children. Now, at a weight that I won't even share online, I feel angry, depressed and exhausted with how I look and feel.
I took to reading a blog post from a fellow mother who has struggled with body image her whole life. She even decided to get gastric bypass surgery in hopes of leading a healthier life. Sadly, what she found was not an intense feeling of satisfaction, but a dark journey down the same path that she had been following for years. Below is my interview with Amanda, a busy wife and mother of three daughters.
S: When you say that you have always struggled with your body and food, what is the biggest hurdle you must overcome to finally being at peace with your body?
A: That's a great question. One that I'm honestly still trying my hardest to work on. I'm not quite fully at peace yet but it is definitely my goal. I think for me I need to not worry about what others think or what society thinks for sure.
S: How has the words said to you as a young girl and teenager shaped how you raise your three girls especially in terms of what words you use?
A: Some examples: if the girls are trying on clothes I don't focus on the size, they try a size on, and I'll ask if they feel comfortable. If not, we adjust accordingly, and the size is never an issue.
If they have doctor appointments, I have told the offices to not mention their weights (if they say it…we just move on like no big deal)
I also try to compliment them as much as possible without always using compliments on their looks etc.
I also am open and honest and if diets etc. are mentioned I make sure they know they never have to go on a diet or change the way they look
S: Do you think having a twin or sibling who was smaller than you was a big factor in your comparing yourself? Do you think the built-in comparison has set you up for a downfall?
A: Yes, I think that was the start of it. Also, something I still need to let go of…comparing myself!
"I just ate what my parents bought at the store and what my mom would make. My Dad only eats certain foods so my Mom only cooked what he would like. Occasionally she would make separate things if my Dad wanted something different. Pretty sure that is why to this day I do not cook because my Mom did it all."
S: Do you think part of the reason that you don't cook is because you do not have a good relationship with food?
A: Huge YES!!! It's also hard sometimes when my family wants to eat something that I don't feel like eating … I don't want my husband to make something he doesn't want, or to have to make something different.
I know this sounds crazy, but I also hate to grocery shop so that makes it hard for there to be all the foods in the house that I would prefer as well.
Some people may say, "well just go to the store by your own food and make it yourself "I wish it were that easy (for me).
"I don't remember having a lot of thoughts about my body and food except I just considered myself fat and never really liked it. I would go to doctor appointments and weight was always brought up. One time I even went for a cold and the doctor said it was probably due to my weight.
Fast forward to 2008. By this time, I had Abby in 2006 and Jasmine in 2007. I had my 1-year checkup after having Jasmine. I got to my OBGYN appointment and my weight was 302.4lbs. I cried my entire appointment because I never expected to see that number but also all my doctor talked about was how I needed to lose weight. He said I should be 165lbs and he recommended medical weight loss or weight watchers. I checked into medical weight loss but that was expensive, so I started weight watchers. I think I lost around 75 lbs. during weight watchers but always stopped and started again so I don't remember how long that took me. I can remember though always thinking that all that mattered was the number on the scale. If I went over my points, I was bad. If I gained weight that week it was because I ate too much pizza that week. I can remember it made food good or bad therefore depending on what I ate...I was good or bad."
S: A: Interesting that you made the connection between body weight, food and whether you were good or bad (worthy or not worthy)?
A: So much on our society tells us there is good food and bad food. Not until just recently have my eyes finally been opening to realize that is not the case. Food does not have any moral value!
S: How would you inspire someone who does not have the spousal support and understanding that you do?
A: Hmmm, difficult question. I've been following a lot of Instagram accounts / etc. that have really made me feel like I could really find freedom from all this …but I would still love to be able to afford counseling
"I was 230 on the date of my surgery Oct 1st 2015. I can remember thinking it was the only way I would ever be able to lose weight.
During my 6 months before surgery stuff I had to make sure I didn't lose any more weight otherwise I would not have qualified for surgery".
"Not once in my entire life has any doctor recommended counseling or mental health care. During my surgery process there was absolutely zero "help" either. It was always about what the scale said. Can you see why numbers have always consumed me?"
S: Do you think you are more of an advocate for counseling or mental health care for this form of surgery? I imagine there are many individuals who are not as insightful as you and wouldn't realize how a surgery such as you went through will affect their mental health.
If anyone were to ask me if I recommended weight loss surgery, I would say…
No!!! Not unless you've had full counseling/ mental health care first
"So, one year after surgery on my birthday November 11th, 2016 I went for a 11-mile run. I got home, stepped on the scale and was 135.2lbs. I felt so weak, so lightheaded, felt awful, took a hot bath...but I was on top of the world because I had just hit a weight, I never thought I'd make. I would workout up to 2 hours a day with maybe 1 rest day. I hardly ate anything. But all that mattered was that stupid number. Then at a follow up appointment I was so scared to step on the scale because I knew for the first time since surgery, I gained weight. I was 147. The doctor came in and said "Shazam...you're perfect!" All your numbers and tests are good. I said but I gained weight. He said well most surgery patients get to a low weight and then their body goes up because it moves to where it is more comfortable. So, I left feeling great thinking, ok phew...then I did not fail. I hadn't changed anything I was doing when I went from 135 to 147. I ate the same, worked out the same (which was always not enough food)."
S: Did your husband notice any negative changes in you and did anyone try to help you recognize how you were reacting to your weight, food, exercising?
A: Yes, lots of people noticed. Josh always tries to help me, but he often says. I don't know how to fix it.
S: Do you feel here like you were even in control of your own mind and body? I know with my depression, it literally feels like something has a hold on you and you can't shake it? I think this is important to high light because a lot of individuals suffer with body image issues.
A There were several times I remember doctors saying, "if I track my food and exercise that I'll always keep my weight off". So, once I started gaining, I thought again I was a failure. But all that "in control" made me worse and made me feel like I was going crazy. I often wonder if I would still work out 2 hours a day and eat 1000 calories if I wouldn't have gained but I just couldn't continue. My mental health is my #1 goal right now, so it is getting better now that I've gotten rid of all trackers
"During 2016 and 2017 I became so obsessed with workout programs and every single one of them had a different nutrition program...I mean seriously...How many flipping diets are out there, why are there so many, and why do we think the next one will finally be the one? and when are we all going to finally realize that diets don't work. That food is not good or bad. That I am not good or bad based on what I eat. Food is just food. Now of course if someone Is allergic to food then they shouldn't eat it. If you don't like cauliflower don't eat it. If you don't like donuts, don't eat them. But if you. like pizza eat the flipping pizza. You're not bad because you ate pizza. Why can't we just love ourselves the way we are. The way God made us."
"At this point I am not sure if I will run a race this year. Part of me thinks it may be best for me to take a break. I have literally felt way too stressed about all this that I feel I really need to focus on my mental health. Adding another race would probably just add extra stress thinking I HAVE to do it instead of just doing it because I enjoy it.
"I'm crazy right?"
S: No, you are not crazy. There is an important connection between mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. There is meant to be a balance in life, and it sounds like you are certainly out of balance between many aspects of your life. What is your ideal healthy life?
Ideal healthy…
Food doesn't matter it's just food. To the point where I don't even think about food (meaning I will eat of course but just not be consumed with what to eat how much to eat when to eat) if I should eat this or that etc.
A: And just enjoy movement that makes me happy. Not movement because I must or to compete with someone else
S: What I want to high light here is being a champion for your health. If one doctor or counselor does not feel like the correct fit, seek out help that is. I know this can be difficult with insurance companies. You have every right to be heard and for your healthcare providers to be connected on your overall well-being. That means your primary care relates to your mental health provider, so that you get the best care possible.
I have so much to be thankful for and am blessed beyond measure. I need to get all this off my mind and just live life each day and choose to be happy. My size does not matter."
God is so Great. He has given me new friends and a new Church family. He opens doors when other close. Now I just pray I don't lose them too while I'm still working on all my struggles."
S: God is great for SURE! And you would think that being a Christian would make us immune to all the issues like body image, food, dieting, depression, anxiety and everything in between. It will take time to feel like you finally have an equilibrium. Just like this journey has taken time, this too will take time. I remember being a HUGE worrier. I mean my worry would have worry, but that has all changed with time. That, however, doesn't mean that I do not have body image issues from time to time.

Recently, a member of the National Citizens Alliance (NCA), a Canadian political party, posted a picture online of some members of their organization in our beer garden. We'd like to take this time to address the picture and the subsequent commentary surrounding it.
We've attached our Brand & Values document which was drafted by employees and owners representing every department in our Company. We specifically wish to draw your attention to our policy surrounding discrimination and publicly state that our value system is in stark contrast to those of groups like the NCA.
We'd also like to take this opportunity to provide further insight into what happened that day.
In the late afternoon on Saturday, June 22, members of the NCA entered our beer garden. A staff member who recognized their affiliation informed the manager on duty and expressed their discomfort in serving them. The manager had a discussion with the team and concluded that the team wished to ask the NCA members to leave. Before proceeding with these actions, the manager called an owner of the Company. The owner agreed that the group should be asked to leave. While discussing how to handle removing the NCA members in a safe manner, the NCA members settled their tab and left. The owner then asked the manager on duty to approach each individual table of customers still present to discuss what had happened, what the plan of action was and what our values are as an organization.
As one of the owners of Good Robot, I'm proud of the way our folks handled the situation: In a timely, diplomatic fashion with our team's values at heart. We would like to encourage our customers to always bring their concerns to a staff member – we've got your back and care about what's happening in our space. Moving forward, we are establishing protocol on dealing with specific instances of groups or individuals in our space whose known values starkly conflict with our own.
Thank you to all those who are looking out for the best interest of our guests, staff and community.
Joshua Counsil
Co-founder & Marketing Director

Good Robot: Our Brand and Values
It is important that everyone involved in Good Robot's day-to-day operations (Good Robot Staff, Restaurant Staff, Partners, Glee Club, Guests and Customers) understands our brand and our values. When you're representing Good Robot, or at Good Robot, this is the scoop.

You guys are the best!!!!
The neighbourhood and city are better with you in it!
So well put . Earnest and Blunt yet crafted in an intelligent and warm manner . Thanks for putting forth the effort and the wherewithal to share it with everyone . Let it be a map for others to follow .
You should be proud of how your team handled the situation and I especially applaud you, as one of the owners, providing your team the security and comfort to voice their opinions on the matter.
"The Trump Effect" has been spreading far too rampantly in Canada in recent years and it is refreshing to see a company which stands on its values.
Bravo to you and your team!
Thank you so much for doing the right thing!

Produced in 1985 by Harmony Gold USA, Inc. in association with Tatsunoko Productions Co. Ltd., Robotech is a story adapted by expert Carl Macek, with edited content and revised dialogue from the animation of three different mecha anime series: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada.
They were adapted into one 85-episode tailor-made for American audiences. Robotech revolved around a technology for the creation of robotic armies and had three parts. In the first, Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes and the rest of the Robotech Expeditionary Force prepared to resist the Zentraedi invasion. The second part featured Dana Sterling, an officer in the Armies of the Southern Cross, while the third told the story of the struggle against alien forces that had seized Earth.
The first series used was Macross. An alien Super Dimensional Fortress, a very powerful weapon, crash lands on Earth's Macross Island. The alien Zentraedi come to claim the ship for their own use. The Robotech Expeditionary Force help to protect the Earth from the Zentraedi. The series folows the lives of the Force's members, including the love triangle between Rick Hunter, Hayes and Lynn Minmei; during the First Robotech or Space War February 2009–April 2011 between the earth-based Robotech Defense Force and the alien Zentraedi.
The second section was adapted from Southern Cross. Twenty years into the future, during the Second Robotech War between January 2029 and June 2030, when the Armies of the Southern Cross are working to prevent future alien invasions. Dana Sterling is an officer in the army and this series follows her life and exploits. She is the daughter of two characters from the previous story arc, Max and Miriya Sterling.
The third arc was adapted from Genesis Climber Mospeada. This part of the series was much darker and takes place during the Third Robotech War (2031-44). The Expeditionary Force are killed and aliens are ravaging the Earth. The characters somehow still manage to have soap-opera-like love lives, while fighting the aliens with their robotic space vehicles.
Notable for its adult themes and the fact that so many of its main characters were killed off, the show has achieved cult status, especially among children of the 80s.

The bad news: I don't think this article is good.
The good news: I'll give you the point that's relevant to marketing so you don't have to sift through it.
Today's post teaches you how to bond with your audience more and show people you have the solution to their problem—which gets people to buy or join your cause.
Let's go!
First, some background.
The article below talks about t he phenomenon of ultra-hard video games.
Every so often, an almost unbeatable game will go viral and amass tons of players.
YouTube videos go up and show people despair at the game.
Video game journalists write about the game.
Eventually, the phenomenon shows up outside of gaming culture and gathers even more attention.
By any traditional measure, these games *shouldn't* be successful:
*They rarely do marketing. In fact, they're often obscure games developed as hobby projects by single developers.
*There's usually no big publisher behind the games.
*The graphics are usually awful, compared to state of the art games.
*Most importantly: The game isn't even fun for most people. They're not optimized to give you dopamine hits or be rewarding.
Then what makes these games so appealing to widespread masses of people?
Let me quote the article here.
"They make you scream and laugh and smash your equipment in rage. They unite us in a shared frustration."
NOW things are getting interesting.
Shared frustration can get a tiny, obscure game thousands and even millions of players.
I think this gives us more than enough proof. Shared frustration is a powerful emotion.
As a marketer/copywriter, you know effective marketing speaks to emotions.
Now, if this emotion alone can get millions of people to download/buy a game, how much more powerful can it be when you apply this concept to a genuine problem people have?
Which shared frustrations can you build a business around?
After all, this is what marketing comes down to: Solving the customer's problem.
If you can do that, you're golden.
Communicating that you can solve the problem will be hard and it's where practical knowledge of copy, funnel architecture and marketing comes in.
But before you do anything, you need to know which shared frustration you can solve for people.

The Heftier Hugh Hefner Wannabe
There is a new millionaire on the social scene that is undoubtedly a dream come true for any sensational tabloid lover out there. The self-dubbed new 'Playboy King' has no intention of slowing down his machismo-fuelled lifestyle of near-naked women, sports cars and lavish parties at his mansions.
He also has no problem to bluster his extravagance on social media blow-by-blow with many vicarious fans begging him to trade in their lives for his. His life is nothing short of pure bliss as he spends his days yachting around in opulent luxury.
His latest antics had created a mix between envy and excitement when Ross Rudy announced his plans to become the new Hugh Hefner, a long-time idol of his.
The bad-boy announced his elaborate plans for the new future and added that the late Hugh Hefner inspired the projects. If he is true to his word, you can expect some really weird and wonderful times ahead.
A string of clubs, various online platforms, a cable network and a film production company are all in the pipeline. Ross is also building a replica of the one, and only Playboy Mansion so is not difficult to see why he is calling himself the playboy of the new millennia.
It seems that he is already swimming in loads of cash so it's hard to grasp why he would want any more. I suppose the more money, the more opulence. Damn, this guy is lucky.
While I am trying to imagine this beefy, whiskered 38-year-old in silky pyjamas, I realize that it will most likely be swopped for Egyptian cotton which would be designed by the elite of the fashion world. Because let's admit it, silk was so last season.
Is this kitsch or cool? You decide, but one thing is certain, this man has more money than Davy Crockett. When I asked him about his insanely fat wallet, I wasn't sure what to expect, but true to his ability to shock, he bombastically answered:
''I was lucky, and I mean lucky! I was at a dead-beat party one night when a girl I planned to meet stood me up. The party was lame, and I became tirelessly bored, so I started flipping through my phone, trying to find a better place to hang out.''
''I received this text from my friend Phillip that said – "Hey man check this out! Only $10!"
''It was one of those refer-a-friend-bonus offers from some or other online casino. It gave me $10 to play for free, and I suppose Phillip may have received some free money because he can be a stingy muck.''
Well, it turns out that Ross had a couple more beers at the lame party and found himself in a better mood because when he left at 2 am, he decided to take Phillip up on his offer. After a few spins, the tomcat was already up to $50k and then finally hit the motherload that made him an instant millionaire.
His honesty bowled me over. I thought that I would be fed stories of unrealistic business schemes and strategy's, which made him so stinking rich. I was also a little bit jealous, ok maybe a lot. This guy just got lucky, that's it!
Well, one thing is sure. Most blokes will envy him because you need to confess, he is living the dream! While the playboy is shining around in luxury cars with beautiful babes as side arms, it comes to show that being stood up is maybe not such a bad thing at all.

I attended IdealMe for Parents and I highly recommend for everyone, not only the parents. Fantastic workshop organized by Dr. Ewa Antaczak where I have learned about kids behaviors and also about myself.
I attended the IdealMe Parent session entitled "How to raise successful children" and absolutely recommend it to any parent, caregiver and anyone working with children. Attending the workshop provided me with a greater perspective and understanding of childhood development and key factors in raising successful children. I recommend this program anyone, it is so great!
I'd like to recommend CORE Centre Dr. Ewa J. Antczak & Associates's workshop to all parents. I attended one of them on May 25th. Dr. Ewa J. Antczak's presentation about positive parenting was very informative. Interesting discussions with real-life examples, questions and answers followed it after final, motivational video. Worth to take part in the next session!
IdealMe program is the best! I learned to use common sense and use good manners all the time.
The most important thing I learned from the IdealMe program, is how to make a good first impression. When I smile and shake peoples hands, I feel that they like me more and they respect me.
During the IdealMe program, I learned about my strengths and weaknesses. Now I can accept myself as a person and be proud of myself. It really changed me... Thanks.
I learned how to be friendly, likeable and how to deal with my emotions. Thank you guys...
I Love IdealMe. It was so much fun!
Daniel really loved the IdealMe program. He wants to do it again soon.
My daughter came home very happy from the IdealMe program. She was motivated and inspired by all speeches and presentations.
Max says it was awesome, I wish I had such opportunity to learn about overcoming my own fears and extending my comfort zone when I was a shy teenage girl... would have been easier back then!

Where to eat in Times Square that's not a tourist trap? Start with these 26 local-approved places.
Everyone will tell you: Don't eat in Times Square; it's all touristy overpriced nonsense. And there is some of that, sure. But there are also plenty of spots that are not that—at least 26 of them, by our count. And you really ought to know about them.
Although New Yorkers may say they don't eat in Times Square, inevitably they do—lots of us work in or around the area, or attend the occasional Broadway show or other event that requires a trip here. And a visitor to NYC really can't escape it. Nor should they—everyone coming to New York has to see Times Square!
Thankfully, it's...Read More

Stephanie Lavergne is a model and actress from Ottawa. In the August 2005 issue of FHM, she was cited as one of the most beautiful women who have been in the magazine over the last three years. She has been named the Coors Light Maxim Girl of Ottawa and has been the Sunshine Girl several times on both The Toronto and The Ottawa Sun.
On September first, Dave Haggerty, who is a friend from CAPA, and I took photographs of Stephanie. It was a very bright and sunny day, which was not the perfect day for a photo shoot with a model. My idea behind the photoshoot was not only to take nice photos of a girl in a swimsuit but also to create her a nice portrait.

Bonus photos! The swimming pool was a little too cold for Stephanie so we decided to go into the hot tub, which was at 37.8 Celsius. Can you see that she loves to be in the hot tub? I only shot a few pictures around the hot tub, as I didn't expect great results. Well, I was really surprised with the results. With no tripod, flash, reflectors or filter, we finished with some really unique photos of which I can say I am proud of.

General and miRNA-mediated mRNA Degradation Occurs on Ribosome Complexes in Drosophila Cells
mRNA degradation and translation are two processes crucial for posttranscriptional gene regulation. While the strong interconnection of mRNA degradation and translation has been noted for many years, it has led to the hypothesis that mRNAs could be degraded on the ribosome.
We have recently published a study that strongly supports the hypothesis that the ribosome is a very general site not only for general 5' to 3' mRNA degradation in Drosophila but also for the miRNA-mediated mRNA degradation pathway:
General and miRNA-mediated mRNA degradation occurs on ribosome complexes
in Drosophila cells
Sanja Antic, Michael T. Wolfinger, Anna Skucha, Stefanie Hosiner and Silke Dorner
Mol. Cell. Biol. 2015 vol. 35 no. 13 2309-2320
The translation and degradation of mRNAs are two key steps in gene expression that are highly regulated and targeted by many factors, including microRNAs (miRNAs). While it is well established that translation and mRNA degradation are tightly coupled, it is still not entirely clear where in the cell mRNA degradation takes place. In this study, we investigated the possibility of mRNA degradation on the ribosome in Drosophila cells. Using polysome profiles and ribosome affinity purification, we could demonstrate the copurification of various deadenylation and decapping factors with ribosome complexes. Also, AGO1 and GW182, two key factors in the miRNA-mediated mRNA degradation pathway, were associated with ribosome complexes. Their copurification was dependent on intact mRNAs, suggesting the association of these factors with the mRNA rather than the ribosome itself. Furthermore, we isolated decapped mRNA degradation intermediates from ribosome complexes and performed high-throughput sequencing analysis. Interestingly, 93% of the decapped mRNA fragments (approximately 12,000) could be detected at the same relative abundance on ribosome complexes and in cell lysates. In summary, our findings strongly indicate the association of the majority of bulk mRNAs as well as mRNAs targeted by miRNAs with the ribosome during their degradation.

I don't play the game – let me throw it out there right now. I never even gave this section in TRU a second thought… and then Disney announced that they were going to release the Marvel characters and I suddenly perked up. I was wondering what the Hulk was going to look like – I really appreciate the cartoony feel of the whole line – so I figured that, with all the options out there, they could make an outstanding Hulk figure! I saw pictures and liked what I saw. Then, the news came down saying that they were not going to release the Hulk with all the other figures. They Hulk was going to be delayed until the end of October.
I am not sure why, exactly, they did that – in fact, I didn't pay attention enough to see if the Hulk was the only figure released in that manner – but it makes little sense to me even now. But, finally the 28th arrived and the Hulk figures donned the pegs. It looks pretty much just like the promotional figures so there was no disappointment with the sculpt. The cartoonish style lends to a unique look that I enjoy. In fact, it reminds me a bit of the unreleased Hulk figure that would have been part of the Fantastic Four line. Still bummed this was never released.
Of course, these being a part of the Infinity game this is not really an action figure as much as it is a game piece. So don't expect any articulation. He does come in a pretty fantastic pose that captures the Hulk the way he should be. He has a fist and what I now refer to as the "Keown Hand" – doesn't everyone notice that Keown draws Hulk's hand in that way an extraordinary amount? But like I said, this is just a game piece – much in the vain of the Inaction Figures that Kevin Smith released years ago. The real let down, for me, is more about paint application… or more to the point – the color they used. It's a very pale, light green. I think they could have chosen a bit better color – something more in the vain of the early 80's or even a darker, more recent color would better suit this piece. Overall, that's the only complaint.
If you play the game leave a comment on what the Hulk does in the game – let me know how great he is – otherwise I would never find out because I am not going to buy the game to see for myself. If you don't play the game but you are a Hulk fan and wonder if this figure is worth getting – I'd say go for it. It's a fun piece that has a unique enough look to be a great showpiece in the collection.

The location is close to subway, shopping and food outlets. They are all within walking distance (10 minutes roughly). Hotel is new. Easy access from the airport and to locate.
The size of the room for 2 is a little small (25m2). I don't like the door layout for the toilet and bathroom which is shared. Looking for more items like shoe polish, shaver and cake soap. The breakfast menu should have more variations. We had the same breakfast menu for the 8 nights stay.
