|Application #
In early 2019, Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church submitted a rezoning petition for the Planning Commission's regular docket for Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The rezoning petition proposed a change in zoning from the existing R-1S (low-density residential, small lot) to NCC (Neighborhood Commercial Corridor Mixed Use) subject to proffered development conditions. The stated purpose of the rezoning was to allow construction of a multifamily building containing up to 15 units (for a total density of 19.7 DUA). Within the current R-1S zoning district, multifamily dwellings are not permitted. The application was deferred until the June 2019 Planning Commission meeting.[3]
Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval on June 11, 2019.[4][5] City Council approval passed the rezoning unanimously on its August 5, 2019 consent agenda.[6][7][8]
On September 6, 2019 a group of residents of Belmont, North Downtown, and Locust Grove filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the rezoning.[9] Signatories included Kimber Hawkey, president of the Belmont-Carlton Neighborhood Association; Bill Emory, former planning commissioner; Tomas Rahal, former owner of Mas; Ivana Kadija, school health activist; and Brian Wimer, Belmont filmmaker.
Proffered development conditions
- In addition to the requirements of other applicable City ordinances: ZM19-0000:[10]
- No more than 15 dwelling units shall be permitted on the Subject Property.
- A minimum of four (4) residential units within the multifamily dwelling on the Subject Property shall be restricted to residents with income at eighty percent (80%) or less of area median income ("AMI") as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Charlottesville, Virginia Metropolitan Area.

What is it?
Originally a family tradition in India, Indian Head Massage in the Western World has developed from the basic principals of Ayurveda into a comprehensive holistic therapy that can be performed in the comfort of the home, treatment room, or in the office.
Indian Head Massage is ideal as a program for the whole body, combating the effects of the stresses often experienced in the Western World. This head and upper body massage technique is:-
- Performed with the client clothed
- Provides quick and effective results
- An ideal treatment for anyone, which may be performed anywhere
- Ideal for those with limited mobility
There are extensive physiological and psychological benefits from receiving this type of holistic therapy, and clients often report that even though treatments focus upon the upper regions of the body they feel that the whole body is balanced post treatment.
According to McGuiness (2007) the effects and benefits of Indian Head Massage include:-
|Blood flow to the head neck and shoulders is increased
|Lymphatic flow to the head, neck and shoulders is increased
|Muscles and nerve fibres of the head, neck and shoulders are relaxed
|Spasms, restriction of the range of movement and adhesions in the head, neck and shoulders are reduced
|Inflammation of tissues is reduced
|Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system is decreased
|Parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated
|The release of endorphins is stimulated
|Encourages deeper external respiration, and increases the rate of internal respiration
|The increased circulation to the skin and hair improves the delivery of nutrients
|Sebum production is increased
|Circulation to the scalp is increased
|Oxygen supply to the brain is increased
|Tension in the eye muscles is soothed and relaxed
|It increases the release of stagnant energy and the restoration of energy flow to the body
Treatment Time + approach:
Prior to receiving an Indian Head Massage, the therapist will conduct an initial consultation aiming to investigate the client's needs and expectations of the treatment, to gain informed consent, and eliminate any possible reason why the treatment may not be conducted.
Indian Head Massage Treatments are tailored to concentrate on the specific requirements of the client, but generally last for either 15, 30 or 45 minutes. There is no requirement for the removal of clothing, specific equipment of the use of massage oils. The treatment is also appropriate for those that may have limited mobility or have limited time and want a quick, effective treatment that can be conducted in the treatment room, at their home, or place of employment which will create very little fuss or inconvenience.
Indian Head Massage in the Western world is a derivative of the practice of Ayurveda in India. Ayurveda being Sanskrit for 'science of life and longevity'. This approach to health is claimed to be the oldest healing system recorded in India, and a practice that has formed an integral part of Indian family life for thousands of years. Ayurvedic treatments aim to achieve balance in order to both prevent and promote optimal health, beauty and long life by way of balancing body, mind and spirit. In order to achieve this, massage techniques would be used in conjunction with a healthy diet, yoga, meditation and exercise. The Sanskrit texts date back nearly 4,000 years and record details of the use of massage to achieve harmony within the individual. The 'Ayur-Veda', a book written at around 1800BC and used by the Hindus, details the principals of Ayurveda. These underlying principals, otherwise known as 'doshas' were used to nourish the 'root of life' aiming for happiness and health. The three main doshas were known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and it was believed that if the balance of these principals were disrupted then problems would develop. It was believed that an individual was made up of five elements, Ether (space), Air, Fire, Water and Earth. If these elements were out of balance in the environment, the individual would be influenced. For example, these elements may be influenced in ways such as the weather and the food that this individual eats, and it is believed that these elements are projected via the five senses, Hearing generating Space, Touch arising the Air element, Sight the Fire element, Taste the Water and Smell the Earth, making up the basic elements of life, which were believed to be the building blocks of the universe. Each of the three doshas believed to have sub-doshas (Prana Vayu, Apana Vayu, Samana Vayu, Udan Vayu, Vyana Vayu) each of which believed to control a function or system of the body.
Gaining popularity in the Western World in recent years Ayurveda was developed and known as Indian Head Massage. Traditionally performed on the head only, it developed into a treatment that also incorporated the areas of the head, neck, shoulders and upper arms, making it a whole body program ideal for stress management.

Mining has a number of negative effects on then environment. Groundwater pollution, deforestation, decreased air quality due to dust erosion, and the release of toxic chemicals are some of the worst consequences. Watch the video to see a detailed description of the effects of mining.
Deforestation is the removal of forests. This leads to less oxygen being produced, more runoff, more erosion of topsoil, and decreased habitat for animals and other species. Watch the video below to learn more about deforestation.
Agriculture & Overgrazing
Agricultural uses of land may look appealing from a distance but up close, the application of pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics may make agricultural land use less friendly to the environment. Additionally, plowing and irrigation frequently lead to increased erosion. Overgrazing animals can strip the vegetation from an area which can also cause increased erosion.
Urbanization & Land Use
Urbanization is the growth of urban areas which include buildings, roads, and other unnatural structures. Urbanization usually increases runoff into streams and rivers because many city surfaces like roofs, pavement, and sidewalks do not allow water to soak in. This can cause increased flooding in nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. Additionally, urbanization usually decreases habitats for animals. Please watch the video to learn more.

Using Analytics to get under the skin of the customer.
We love data. More importantly, we love analysing it and shaping it to create engaging stories within the context of your specific category. Our in-house analytics experts mean we can extract more juice from your data.
Conjoint & Max Diff
Trade-off techniques are powerful and realistic tools for marketing decision making
Advantages of trade-off methods:
1. Uncovers real or hidden drivers which may not be apparent to the respondent themselves.
2. Estimates psychological trade-offs that consumers make when evaluating several attributes together
3. Realistic choice or shopping task
4. Measures preferences at the individual level
5. The ability to model interactions between attributes can be used to develop needs based segmentation
We provide a suite of different conjoint and trade-off techniques to suit your needs, from the simple to the complex.
MAX DIFF – To uncover what people REALLY think rather than what they SAY they think. Max Diff is an effective way to understand preference and importance for multiple items. Max Diff is typically used for claims research (for packaging, PR or advertising) and to understand drivers of purchase/importance.
View our Max Diff newsletter here
STANDARD CONJOINT - This is perfect if you have a number of attributes and levels to test at different prices. It can determine how people value different attributes (feature, function, benefits) that make up an individual product or service. The objective of conjoint analysis is to determine what combination of a limited number of attributes is most influential on respondent choice or decision making. Conjoint is a great tool for NPD and to inform the best pricing strategy.
BESPOKE HIGH-END CONJOINT – Impact has the expertise and capabilities of stretching the analysis of conjoint to create highly bespoke solutions to produce category simulators that get closer to predicting changes in market share, revenue and profit as a result of different strategies.

Isn't it refreshing when a leader's ideology remains rooted in the same core principles over time? When President Obama addressed the nation on our budgetary challenges on Friday, he reaffirmed his commitment to ending the deficit-boosting Bush tax cuts for people earning more than $250,000 a year. And, fresh off his decisive win, Obama reminded Republicans that Americans are on his side.
In his first public comment since being reelected, Obama reintroduced his $4 trillion deficit reduction plan and reiterated that solving our budget shortfall will require us to "ask the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes." Raising the upper-income tax rate back to the Clinton-era 39% is necessary in order for the nation to make critical investments in education, job training and manufacturing, he said.
Obama did indicate some room for flexibility, saying he was "not wedded" to every point he made during the campaign, and was open to some compromise with Republicans, who still hold the majority in the House (thanks to extensive partisan redistricting).
Still, Obama reminded Republicans of the mandate he earned with a 332-206 Electoral College landslide and a 3 million popular vote margin, saying that returning tax rates to pre-Bush-era rates for the wealthy is policy that voters have undeniably endorsed with their choice of President:
This was a central point during the election; it was debated over and over again. And on Tuesday night we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach.
See the short video below (or the entire 8-minute speech here.)
Later on Friday, Obama's press secretary Jay Carney filled in any ambiguities the President may have left, saying very clearly that Obama would veto any legislation extending tax cuts for families making $250,000 or more.
It's refreshing to see a politician stick to his guns. About a year ago, Obama emphatically asserted that he "refuses to renew" the Bush tax cuts again for people earning more than $250,000 per year. Watch a clip from that 2011 speech:
House Speak John Boehner seems to be setting the stage for more brinksmanship and GOP shenanigans, saying that raising tax rates on upper-income earners is "unacceptable." He thinks, as Mitt Romney did, that we can solve our deficit issue by just eliminating some tax breaks.
Do you think House Republicans will pass a bipartisan tax reform plan next year, or are we in for more of the same? Comment below.

I did it! I ran in Kampong Ayer and even got lost! I ended up at a dead end where the walkway that led to the mainland had collapsed. Had to ask help from a little child (so embarrassed!) Anyway, it was a lovely place to run actually. Because the pathways were all wood they felt good under my tired ankles. Bouncy and comfortable. I wish I could run on them forever and never come back to tar and concrete! I was also really surprised to find cats in the water village. LOADS of them! I think I counted more than ten today. They were very tame too. One snoozer didn't even stir as I ran past it, and another came to say hello and rub against my legs as I snapped photos like a tourist. Here are a few photos I took:
As I ran home, I was greeted by the sweetest sunset. I'm one happy runner today! Hope you are too. xxx

Can't believe Easter's on the horizon! So many places to shop! So many deals – and one sad goodbye to an iconic slice of Toronto history that signals the end of an era in movie watching:
QUEEN VIDEO SET TO CLOSE ITS DOORS: Queen Video, that iconic meeting place for film lovers looking to rent a good movie, will be closing its magical doors after more than 38 years in the business. First opened in 1981 (in the Queen St. W., location, moving to the Annex later on), the company was doing a booming business when people were renting VHS, Betamax and then DVDs. There were lineups! And then downloading and streaming came along, and binge-watching became part of the popular vernacular. So owner Howard Levman and his family have decided now is the right time to close shop – but not before selling off the remaining 40,000 films. Queen Video, on Bloor St., is planning on closing at the end of April and during my visit, I found some absolute gems – several food-related movies, a couple of blockbusters and more – and the prices were insane: $6 and two movies for $2 each. There are so many movies – and collectibles! – you just get lost in the titles. I also found popular series, documentaries and more, and there's so much to choose from – but better hurry, before the doors close permanently.
– Queen Video, 480 Bloor St. W., 416-588-5767; Facebook.com/QueenVideoBloor. Open 11 a.m. to late evening.
LINDT CHOCOLATE OUTLET: Easter's coming up in a few short weeks (April 21) so, if you're looking to stock up on chocolate, or find the latest chocolate trends, do check out the various Lindt chocolate outlets that dot the GTA (as well as in other provinces.) I recently popped into the Etobicoke location on 1557 The Queensway , and just walking in is like taking a stroll through chocolate heaven – the air is sweetly aromatic, there are always samples and friendly staff to give you a hand. This is premium chocolate at amazing prices (love the variety of individual chocolates piled high for you to pick and choose from.)And let's not forget the iconic classic Gold Bunny with the bell and red ribbon.

Spring means longer days – and more exposure to fluctuating light and light rays. A new global survey conducted by Johnson & Johnson Vision (JJV) shows that more than 4 in 10 (43%) Canadians are bothered by some type of lighting condition on an average day, with 84% stating they are bothered by light at least once a week.
To help counter these effects, JJV developed Acuvue Oasys with Transitions Light Intelligent Technology – a first of its kind contact lens that goes beyond vision correction to address bothersome light.
This first-of-its-kind photochromic contact lens was named one of TIME's 'Best Inventions of 2018,' the contact lenses seamlessly adapt to changing light, helping eyes recover from bright light up to five seconds faster, reducing halos and starbursts at night, and delivering more effortless sight with less squinting, from dawn to dusk. Acuvue Oasys with Transitions helps wearers manage a range of light conditions throughout the day while reducing exposure to bright light, filtering blue light and blocking UV rays that can impact eye vision and comfort.
- For more details, check out Acuvue.ca. #SquintLessSeeMore.
The new survey also unveiled:
- – Most Canadians (81%) encounter at least one kind of bothersome light each day.
- – More than half (53%) of Canadians wish their eyes could keep up and adjust to different light conditions as quickly as their busy life.
- – The majority (63%) of Canadians say they can perform better, whether at work or in doing physical activities, when their eyes aren't stressed, and more than half (56%) of people say their eyes feel stressed after experiencing bright and harsh light.
- – Behind the wheel is the most common situation where Canadians are bothered by light, with seven in 10 saying they are bothered by light while driving.
- – To adjust to bothersome light, more than half of – Canadians say they help their eyes cope by squinting (69%) and shading their eyes (67%), and 40% worry about how often they find themselves squinting.
- – When bothered by light, Canadians most often say their eyes feel tired (48%), that they get a headache (33%) and that they feel distracted (33%) and frustrated/irritated (32%).

Salon interviewed author Ellen E. Schultz, an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, on her new book, "Retirement Heist," which details the mechanisms that big companies have used to loot their own employee's pensions and earned benefits. See: The Theft of the American Pension : Salon – Economics
From the looks of this interview, the book doesn't go far enough. The theft of retirement savings is bigger than this, as the entire credit and mortgage scheme that collapsed the global economy was about siphoning pensions and global savings from their protected pools through fraudulently overrated and priced investments. Now politicians want to sell the idea that Social Security earned benefits are just another promise that must be broken. Don't believe it!

No, the Marketplace Will NOT Protect Endangered Species
There is a subsection of humanity that may mean well, but their dogma can all too often blind them to what needs to be done in my field of animal protection and conservation. An apparent case in point: Pembient. It is a company based in the state of Washington that thinks it has an idea, and a product, that will stop the poaching of rhinoceroses (all five species of which are under threat and three of which are critically endangered). But, the people who actually work to protect rhinos don't agree.
Additional to the pressures of a burgeoning human population and consequent demand for land and resources, there are very specific demands in certain parts of Asia for rhino horn to be used for a number of purposes. The story is very well told in the highly recommended bookIvory, Horn and Blood: Behind the Elephant and Rhinoceros Poaching Crisis by my good friend, Ronald Orenstein (Firefly Books, 2013).
Poachers don't care if they exterminate rhinos, and indeed, the Javan rhinoceros, which may be the rarest mammal in the world, must-like the remaining species-be protected from the ruthlessly deadly threat of poaching. At the retail end, rhino horn can reportedly be more valuable, gram for gram, than gold or cocaine.
Pembient's high-tech "solution" is ingenious. It intends to create a replica of rhino horn through a process called "biofabrication." Essentially, Pembient wants to produce a product that is virtually biologically identical to the thing it replaces: rhino horn. The company has gone to great lengths to explain the logic behind its decision, which can be read here.
The company's CEO, Matthew Markus, perhaps best summarizes Pembient's strategy to protect rhinos (and earn profits): "Simply put, if some biofabricated horns can be passed off as wild horns, then consumers won't be able to reliably determine any horn's real value and the price of rhino horn will fall."
There may be a trace of validity to the argument that providing a less expensive alternative to products derived from wild animals (and plants) may work as a conservation tool if the alternative costs less to produce than the wild product. But, actually, that is not how it usually works. And, if the product costs more to produce via a method that does not remove animals from the wild-as is true of such things as bear bile and the blood, skin, and bones of tigers, which are much in demand-it certainly isn't true.
On the other hand, raising tigers, or certain fish species, or parrots, or ginseng hasn't protected wild populations precisely because taking from the wild, whether by poaching, or legally under a quota system, is at least financially competitive with the alternative product. So goes the Pembient argument.
Pembient also plans to insert a DNA marker that, while totally undetectable at the consumer level, would allow forensic investigators to determine synthetic rhino horn from that which was poached.
And yet, my friend Susie Watts, WildAid Africa Programs Manager, mirrors my own experience when she says she can't find any conservationist who agrees that the scheme will work. She told me, "I would actually have more respect for them-not a whole lot more, mind you-if they admitted that their real goal is to make money and to attract more funding for the next hare-brained scheme. Dressing their business plan up as conservation is deeply repulsive when rhinos are being butchered every day."
The reason for this antipathy for the business plan is that, while it is true that providing alternatives theoretically can work, it normally-usually-does not. And, to put it simply, that's because the choice to illegally use real rhino horn for such things as traditional medications, ornaments, recreational uses, and as a detoxifier (but not, contrary to popular lore and the Pembient webpage, as an aphrodisiac) has nothing to do with rational, logical thought processes.
In other words, the market is already flooded with less expensive alternatives, and that is not saving rhinos. While those alternatives are not to be mistaken for rhino horn, if the surrogate rhino horn was out there, it would almost certainly drive up the value of the real product, as long as its provenance could be proved. And, of course, there is a line directly from the poacher through the markets to the ultimate consumer.
And, there will always be people attracted to "the real thing" as a point of status. They want what they should not have-what others can't afford-and, the rarer it is, the more they want it.
What the experience of conservationists has been is that supply fuels demand. What the economic theories being touted by Pembient don't grasp is that rhino horn buyers don't want something that can be used for the same purposes as rhino horn; they want rhino horn!
Matt Hayward of Bangor University and William Ripple of Oregon State University have recently published research on 74 of the largest terrestrial herbivores (all with body mass of more than 100 kg), stating: "Our results are highly concerning. The vast majority of these large herbivores are declining in distribution and abundance, such that 60% are now threatened with extinction. These include well-known and iconic species such as elephants, hippos, all species of rhino, European bison, and Indian water buffalo, but also less well-known species such as takin, kouprey, mountain and lowland anoa, and tamaraw. The situation is likely to get worse and we risk leaving empty landscapes unless urgent and drastic action is undertaken."
We do have a history that shows what works. While conservationists are eager to employ new ideas and new technology, we must avoid that which has failed. And, as a generality, with a few notable exceptions, driving the market for the product is not the answer.
Keep Wildlife in the Wild,

It's been eight months since my last blog post. I can only assume that you 100 followers forgot I existed and thus didn't unfollow me. Anyway, let's see how my
I've been a little more busy than usual lately, though on my pen name erotica rather than my regular stuff. I'm happy to say that the internet is slightly dirtier than it was, thanks to me. I tried expanding to another genre of smut, but the jury's still out on whether I'll continue down that line. Currently it looks like I get better sales sticking with pen name #1.
If anyone searched for my stuff lately, they wouldn't have found much. That's because my two Reaper novellas are no longer available for sale. This is intentional. I recently had the rights returned on the first, so I took the second down to save confusion. I was given the option to keep the first on sale, but I decided instead to let it disappear so that I could start afresh with the series. I'm currently writing a new story for Mal the Grim Reaper, and this time I hope to do him justice.
The world will remain mostly the same, but since the other titles are (mostly) gone, I can make a few changes to things that either bothered me or didn't make much sense. So far a name has changed, the timeline has been tweaked, and some back-stories have been overhauled, but it's still very much the same universe.
I know that using a story that has already been published will probably make finding an agent harder (even though all the rights are once again mine), but I also know that I can make the story good, and that's what matters most to me. :-)
So, update me, people! Whatcha been doing?

At the beginning of every year, a sense of excitement and renewal seems to gather in the air around us. People speak of resolutions and new ways to design their lives. There is a resurgence of confidence that comes of believing we can wipe the slate clean, that we can give legs to new projects and bring them to life.
At the same time, the constant noise of modern life can easily drown out that impulse. The sheer quantity of messages around us creates perpetual mental overload, compounded by the fractured nature of the messages themselves as "sound bites" take precedence over more weighty communication. The mind in these conditions becomes not a place for germination and fruition of new ideas, but a traffic-jammed highway system.
To create an environment for big ideas and real personal development, peaceful focus is necessary. The mental faculty that is engaged in traffic control cannot possibly engage in meaningful integration of new input. First we must EDIT.
A common theme in public discourse at the new year is "Improve yourself," or "New Year, New You." Here's a radical proposition: perhaps the "New You" we are craving is more like the Old You than we might think. The New You just has fewer distractions.
Intention is a powerful tool to facilitate such editing of the chaos around us. An intention serves as your north star and invites forward a particular focus at a particular time. By repeating your intention when you realize you have lost focus, you connect again to your vitality.
An intention is distinct from a goal or resolution. A goal becomes an item on a "to do" list, and if it never gets checked off, we may feel we have failed. An intention, by contrast, invites exploration. There is an inherent acknowledgement in an intention that we are not in control of the outcome – there is room for the mysterious to intervene.
You can set an intention for a certain event – a meeting at work, say, or a yoga class, or a family dinner – or you can set an intention for a specific period of time – a week, one day, or even a whole year.
An intention can take many forms – it could be a statement or phrase, it may be formed as a question, or it may be summed up in one word. For example, consider the influence any of the following intentions might have if you held it in your awareness during a tense board meeting:
- "I intend to be open to differing opinions."
- "Relax the belly"
- "Who can I admire and acknowledge during this meeting?
- "Quiet Confidence"
As 2013 begins unfolding its new wings around us, it can be a powerful practice to craft an intention for your year. While New Year's resolutions may bring forward our Pitta tendencies to judge or get rigidly practical, intentions call forth Vata's creativity and Kapha's compassion and acceptance of the unexpected.
Play around with different forms of intention. Questions inspire the brain to seek out the answer. Single words are inspiring in their simplicity. You'll know you're on to something when you feel excited or like a puzzle piece clicked into place. Write your intention on a sticky note and paste it in your car, on the bathroom mirror, in your datebook. Write it in secret places. When the busy noise of life around you builds to a roar, repeat it in your heart.
Remember, "where your attention goes, prana will follow." Intentions help us direct our prana towards the vision we want to create. Let the waxing moon energy carry your intentions into expression as we embark on this new year.

Press Release
AALDEF Condemns Act of Terrorism Against Sikh Gurudwara in Wisconsin
On Sunday, a horrific mass shooting took place at the Sikh gurudwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, as members of the Sikh community were preparing for a peaceful religious gathering. It has been reported that a white male killed six people, and he was later killed himself after exchanging fire with a police officer.
AALDEF condemns this blatant act of terrorism against innocent people at a house of worship, and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, the three continuing to fight for their lives in critical condition, and the entire Sikh community in Oak Creek, whose lives have been changed and feeling of safety shattered.
While details continue to emerge on this tragedy, the 700,000 Sikhs living in the United States have increasingly been victims of hate and discrimination. The media coverage following this tragedy, including CNN Network's disturbing decision to distinguish Sikhs and Muslims, which implicitly suggested an attack on Muslims is within expectation, and its initial hesitation to call this an act of terrorism, show how severely intolerance and ignorance have been allowed to persist in our country, and the immediate need to stop it in all of its forms.
As more information comes to light, AALDEF will seek to work with other social justice organizations in making policy recommendations in hopes that such tragedies can be prevented in the future.

Model Releases
Saturday, May 31, 2014
In the world of photography, much has been said and argued about model releases. They have been debated in courtrooms and on forums and in the faint light of dive bars frequented by photographers. Experts have written books about the issue and pundits have disseminated vast misinformation. Editors and designers are afraid of the legal ramifications. Although there is a legal need for model releases, the law remains vague.

FastJet expands fleet and strengthens management team
African low cost airline FastJet has expanded its aircraft fleet, signed a maintenance contract with a leading aircraft maintenance company and further strengthened its management team ahead of the airline's planned launch next month.
FastJet has signed operating lease agreements with Volito Aviation for two Airbus A319s and will take delivery of the aircraft in November. These are the second and third Airbus A319s the Company has leased and it remains on track to meet its target of deploying five Airbus A319s in Africa within six months of launch and up to 15 aircraft in a years' time.
The airline has also appointed three senior aviation executives to the Company's management team. Taking up their roles today, Rob Bishton, Kyle Haywood and Harun Cordan will combine their wealth of industry experience with that of the existing FastJet team.
Commenting on the aircraft leases and recent management hires, FastJet chief executive Ed Winter said: "Signing two further aircraft to our fleet and securing delivery in November puts us firmly on track to launch FastJet next month at our first base in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
"I am also delighted to be welcoming three top aviation executives to the FastJet team. Between them they bring over 50 years of operational experience from across the sector and they are important strategic hires for us ahead of launch and our inaugural flight in just a few weeks," he adds.
Rob Bishton joins FastJet as Operations Director, based at the airline's headquarters in Gatwick, London. Rob previously worked for easyJet where he spent two years as Chief Pilot and Head of Aircraft Operations. Prior to joining easyJet, Rob was Director of Flight Operations at Astraeus.
Kyle Haywood, former Chief Executive of Air Uganda, joins FastJet as General Manager of Africa. Having worked in the airline industry for over 25 years, Kyle has previously held senior positions at Air Arabia, Gulf Air and British Airways.
Former Ryanair executive Harun Cordan assumes the role of Group Chief Pilot and Head of Flight Operations. Prior to joining FastJet, Harun held a number of positions at the Irish low cost carrier, including Chief Instructor and Deputy Head of Training.
FastJet has also revealed it has entered into an exclusive service contract with Swissport International under which Swissport will provide ground handling and related management services to FastJet across its operations.Following a competitive tender process, FastJet has also awarded a five year contract to Sabena technics to provide maintenance support for the airline's fleet of Airbus A319s.
Sabena technics will provide FastJet with engineering services and comprehensive material support for components and consumables. It will also establish local operations at FastJet's first base in Dar es Salaam, to provide line and light maintenance services.
Commenting on the decision to award FastJet's aircraft maintenance services contract to Sabena technics, Ed Winter said: "We are delighted to welcome Sabena technics on board at this exciting time in FastJet's development.
"We are now closer than ever to our goal of bringing a high-quality, reliable, affordable service to the people of Africa and today's agreement with a leading European Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) company reaffirms our commitment to establishing FastJet as an airline operating to international standards," he concluded.

In many ways, this scene represents the challenges you face as you move from high school into young adulthood. You may be going from a relatively sheltered environment to one of full freedom, and that transition can be difficult. Will you conform to the culture around you, or will you pursue a stand-out faith in this fit-in world?
Veteran youth worker Lars Rood is convinced that you can chart a course that will make your faith an essential part of your life. As you prepare for life after high school, you don't have to be a red-cup Christian: someone who blends in and looks the same as the culture around you.
Drawing on the experiences of his own faith journey, Lars will guide you on the adventure of standing out instead of blending in, of fully embracing your faith and living it out.
While supplies last!

A Portrait of Womanness
I always said I don't paint people. No portraits, faces, nothing. Only abstract designs and mandalas. But over the past week or so I have found myself drawn more and more to create a woman on canvas using my acrylics. And today I couldn't resist. I went up into my attic and pulled out my paints. Without any visual references. Just painting. As it comes. From the heart. I used to be ashamed of my portraits and people drawings back … Continue reading

Spam and chips
Hands up anyone who feels they don't get enough emails. Thought so. Not an arm moved. Let's try another question. Hands up anyone who thinks in darker moments that email can look like the work of the devil. So, a forest of arms this time.
Interesting, isn't it, how we have these ambivalent views about email? On the one hand, it's the greatest thing since drip-dry shirts; on the other, it's something to be reviled and cursed, perhaps more than any other chip-based technology.
What makes this so important for logistics professionals is that, without anybody really noticing, email has just about taken over as the central tool in the management of the supply chain process. It's what now links central admin with all the depots and warehouses. It's great as a time-buster when the need is to transfer info between locations in different time-zones.
It's the carrier of choice – ahead of the telephone now for most forms of regular information. And, through the wonders of wireless technology, it's even following us out onto the road.
Which means it's about time we started to try to take control of email before it takes control of us. Yes, I know there are logistics pros out there who will open up their in-box only to find another kilobyte or three of spam crashing into it.
But that's a defeatist attitude. There's plenty that can be done if we really think about it – and it's not just about trying to control the worst of the downside, such as spam and viruses.
Even so, it's easy to see why some firms have already run up the white flag. There can hardly be a logistics firm anywhere in Europe that hasn't surrounded its email with enough anti-virus software to frighten off the most pernicious of attacks.
Yet still the viruses sneak through. Research just out from IT analysts at the Butler Group suggests that around one firm in three suffers a 'serious' virus attack each year. We're talking the kind of attack that can cost about e15,000 to put right in a small logistics company or as much as e180,000 in a major international operation.
The problem for logistics pros is that managing email isn't just a job for the bods in IT. That's because it's now raising all sorts of other issues other than the technical ones – issues that impinge on the contents of the emails. When Larry the Lad in the warehouse sends a cheeky message to Saucy Sue in despatch, it could end up on the logistics manager's desk as a disciplinary problem if Sue takes umbrage at Larry's improper suggestion.
If the only problem were one of unrequited love… More, it looks as though it's going to be one of unending red tape. Email is now at the centre of a growing raft of compliance issues including the Data Protection Act and freedom of information.
And, given the growing environmental dimension to many supply chain issues, there's also the question of legal disclosure in the event of matters of an unpleasant nature coming to court. Companies that can't produce emails that are pertinent to a court case can, in certain circumstance, expect to be dealt with harshly.
Time for action
It's no use leaving this to somebody else. If logistics professionals feel the operation of their function could be compromised because emails aren't being properly managed, they must take some action themselves. That could be drawing the matter to the attention of the board or even kicking an overburdened IT department into life. But it might also mean taking direct action like drawing up a logistics' function risk strategy for email that includes both the security and content management issues, then implementing a policy to deal with them. And the bad news is that there isn't necessarily a simple answer to the problem.
For what it's worth, the IT analysts I've spoken to agree a policy should include both security and lifecycle management, ie how long you're going to keep the darned things on disk in case somebody kicks up a fuss about something.
And my chums the IT analysts also tell me that no single vendor has everything you need so you'll have to shop around.
But, whatever you decide, this isn't a problem that can be solved only by technology. It's really a good old-fashioned people problem, which means developing best practice for both using and managing emails.

treasurable. He loved to reiterate that he was only trying to "make it like," an oversimplification which takes account of neither his initial selection nor his individual way of seeing "it," a way which was no one else's.
And the little less, and what worlds away!
~ Robert Browning, By the Fireside
A Short Bio
Edmund C. Tarbell (called Ned as a boy), was born at West Groton, Massachusetts in 1868 and raised by his paternal grandparents. As a youth, Tarbell took evening art lessons from George H. Bartlett at the Massachusetts Normal Art School. Between 1877 and 1880, he apprenticed at the Forbes Lithographic Company in Boston and because of his natural talent entered the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, studying under Otto Grundmann. He matriculated in the same class with two other future members of the Ten American Painters, Robert Reid and Frank Weston Benson.
In 1883, his fellow student Benson and Edmund Tarbell continued their studies in Paris as pupils of Lefebvre and Boulanger. What this exactly means is that Lefebvre and Boulanger would come in once a week, pause momentarily at each student's easel to say a few words, and then rattle away in their carriage till the following week.
The most valuable painting instruction which Tarbell received in Paris was in an afternoon painting class taught by William Dannat who had first studied in Munich then under Bastien-Lepage.
Tarbell studied in Europe about five years, then returned to Boston where he married and joined the teaching staff of the Museum School in Boston along with his friend Frank Benson. When the director, Otto Grundmann, died unexpectedly the following summer, Tarbell and Benson took full charge of what had become a nationally renowned art school. It was to flourish under their direction for twenty-three years.
Tarbell was a popular teacher. He gave his pupils a solid academic art training. Before they learned to paint, they had to render plaster casts of classical statues. So pervasive was his influence on Boston painting that his followers were dubbed "The Tarbellites."
After he left the school in 1913, he co-founded The Guild of Boston Artists, and served as its first president through 1924. In 1919, he was selected as principal of the art school at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC which he led until 1926. In 1927, he was elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
"Making It More Like"
This phrase was Edmund Tarbell's motto and one of the sayings passed down to the students of RH Ives Gammell. It refers to part of the methodology used by Boston School painters. As they begin their work, theyand more like...and more like until it's right!
* Mr. Gammell's Vocab Word of the Day: "Preprandial" - Done or taken before dinner or before the main course, ex. a preprandial glass of sherry. Mr. Gammell kept a stack of vocabulary cards handy to work on regularly.
** When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted, 1892 by Rudyard Kipling
When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!
And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star
Will draw the thing as he sees it. For the God of things as they are!

MongoDB Aggregation Pipeline
25 April - 5:15 PM - 5:40 PM @ Ballroom G
Experience level:
25 minutes conference
This presentation will demonstrate how you can use the aggregation pipeline with MongoDB similar to how you would use GROUP BY in SQL and the new stage operators coming 3.4. MongoDB's Aggregation Framework has many operators that give you the ability to get more value out of your data, discover usage patterns within your data, or use the Aggregation Framework to power your application. Considerations regarding version, indexing, operators, and saving the output will be reviewed. Example use cases will be demonstrated along with comparisons to GROUP BY in MySQL and the new operators being introduced in MongoDB 3.4.

Air Products' proprietary Freshline LIN-IS system injects liquid nitrogen providing rapid, precise temperature control to the blender or mixer/grinder prior to forming or further processing steps; ultimately improving processing speed and product quality. Perfect for chilling ground meat prior to forming hamburger patties, marinated chicken prior to forming nuggets, or many other products that require heat removal during mixing, blending or grinding.
Ultra-cold liquid nitrogen cools very efficiently. The Freshline LIN-IS system uses the same or less amount of cryogen (in this case nitrogen) than comparable CO2 systems. In some cases, LIN-IS nitrogen usage can be 20–30% less than CO2. It is cost-effective alternative for processors facing CO2 supply disruptions.
The Freshline LIN-IS system is easy to operate, clean and maintain . . . and can be retrofitted to new or existing equipment.

Tottenham Hotspur exists in a cycle of windows. Windows of opportunity and windows of rebuilding. Opportunity to win things, and periods of reconstructing its core once its best players have been bought away. That's why every season now for Spurs, currently at the top of such a cycle, feels urgent. It may be a title contender this year, but there are never any guarantees for the next one.
Lately, Tottenham has done a remarkable job of retaining its top talent. The players have bought into manager Mauricio Pochettino and his project. They understand that he has them playing better soccer collectively than the sum of their parts otherwise probably would under most other managers. They thrive in North London, and there are never any guarantees that they would elsewhere. But how long will it last?
Even after Spurs move into their new stadium next season, and their revenue shoots up even further, a wealth gap will likely remain with the Premier League's truly big clubs. Chairman Daniel Levy is notoriously tight with the purse strings, and chances are he will never pay the salaries available at Manchester City and United or Chelsea. Which, logically, puts an expiration date on every star player's tenure with Spurs.
This, as you might have gathered by now, is about Harry Kane. The 24-year-old striker has probably been the best striker in the Premier League since the start of last season — well, since September, because Kane is a famously slow starter and struggles in August. Kane has even slipped into the conversation about whether he is the best striker in the world at the moment for his uncanny scoring ability and all-round play. He finishes, and he creates as well.
In the 2017 calendar year, his 29 goals trail only Lionel Messi in Europe's five biggest leagues. With eight goals in nine Premier League games so far this season, Kane is likely to breach the 20 league goal barrier for a remarkable fourth year in a row, all before the age of 25. Now there's talk about Real Madrid coming after him next summer as its latest galáctico signing, the ultimate vindication of your superstardom.
In a sense, Spurs' ability to retain Kane, who has been at the club since he was 11, although he was sent out on loan four times early in his pro career, is a litmus test. Keeping their best players and building that lavish new stadium are supposed to pave the way for Spurs to ascend from the upper-middle class of English soccer teams into the aristocracy. To contend for prizes every year, rather than a few times a decade.
But in order to accomplish that, they need to keep hold of the Harry Kanes. And they need to figure out how to keep Real from adding him to the list of big stars Spurs sent that way, including Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, who cemented their status as some of the top players of their generation not in North London but in the Spanish capital.
If next season Kane plays in the white of Spurs, rather than that of Real, it will say as much about the club as his loyalty. If the offer is sufficiently big, and the upgrade in title prospects large enough, players will always go in the end.
On Sunday, Kane only added fuel to that fire by scoring twice and adding an assist in Tottenham's comprehensive 4-1 defeat of Liverpool at Wembley Stadium, its temporary home where the club has struggled to establish the kind of superiority it had at White Hart Lane. It was the first time in 10 games that Spurs had managed to beat Liverpool, whose title hopes are sinking without a trace after a 3-2-4 start. Tottenham, meanwhile, moved into a tie for second place with Manchester United, five points adrift of City.
In just the fifth minute, Kane beat Simon Mignolet to a ball dumped in between them, evaded the goalie and defender Joel Matip and dinked the ball into the empty net.
Some seven minutes later, Heung-Min Son applied a tidy finish on a perfect set-up pass from Kane.
Liverpool briefly asserted itself in the first half. And when Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris hesitated on a ball behind his line and stayed home, Mohammed Salah capitalized, beating the defense to the ball and bouncing his finish off the inside of the far post.
While Liverpool had most of the ball, pressing high and hard, the defensive mistakes on Spurs breaks were costly. Deep in first-half injury time, Dele Alli whacked home a poorly cleared free kick from outside the box to make it 3-1 and kill the game off.
Early in the second half, Kane got his brace when he knocked in a rebound with a volley from close range.
It was the sort of performance from Kane that makes the prospect of a future without him terrifying to Spurs fans — to say nothing of those within the club itself. Because, for a club like Spurs, he would be irreplaceable. There are only a handful of strikers of his caliber even around, if that, and none would be available to the Londoners. Even if they scraped the money together, it's hard to tempt such a player to a club that might be a title contender some years, but that will likely never quite be a title favorite.
Which is to say that Spurs will probably be as good as they've been lately for as long as Kane is around. Whether it be for 10 more months, or 10 more years.

Wow, it has been an entire year since I've blogged last! So much has changed and I hate that I haven't had the opportunity to blog about it. But, recently I have resorted to my blog for answers that only my blog journal-ing could have answered. For those who don't know, I'm expecting my second child!! It still doesn't feel real to me even though I am speeding through my second trimester! Today, I am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant and we find out this Thursday what we're having! Braden says its a boy and hasn't changed his answer, but I'm feeling a girl intuition, so we'll see. Anyway, I've been using my blog lately as my memory as to how big I was at this same time with Braden. How much I'd gained in weight. When I felt those first kicks and when James felt and SAW Braden kick for the first time! Anywho, long story short...I just felt my first flutters for baby #2 and I HAD to journal it or I will never remember this moment thanks to my prego jello brain! Haha. So for now that us it, but one day soon I will update y'all on the past year and all the amazing things that have changed for me and for the better, best of all, my amazing new job!!

Sustainability Issue evokes '40s-era role models
Having recently removed my self-imposed estrangement from the College, I once again enjoy reading the Bulletin (with the aid of my video magnifier!). It continues its high quality of content and production.
I was especially interested in the January articles on sustainability (my dictionary doesn't define this, but I assume it's related to "conservation," a subject of great interest to me for 90 years).
President Rebecca Chopp was quoted as saying "the Quakers gave us a good model." Indeed, they did. I can give some examples.
Before World War II, civil engineering professors Scott Lilly and Sam Carpenter extolled the virtues of pure air and clean water under the rubric of "sanitary engineering." Mechanical engineering professor George Thom, in his course on thermodynamics, taught the values of conserving energy and the concept of entropy (a measure of the conversion of energy into an unavailable form).
President Frank Aydelotte hired Indiana Quaker Nicholas O. Pittenger ("Mr. Pitt") to be the College comptroller and business manager. Mr. Pitt bought a farm near Oxford, Pa., and many a Sunday I drove there with him and helped with the spring plowing and fall harvesting. We planted more than 1,000 seedlings to launch a tree farm.
Weekdays, I often worked for superintendent of buildings and grounds Andy Simpson, one-time engineering professor, and under the immediate supervision of head gardener Harry Wood, who managed the Scott Arboretum.
On both these jobs I was paid 50 cents an hour, which together with a scholarship from the alumni because I played football, helped to cover the total cost of $1,000 for tuition, room, meals, fees, and books. …
Although the terms and titles have changed, the Quakers still serve as models of sustainability.
