Women of Battersea Power Station 2018
International Women’s Day falls on 8 March, and Battersea Power Station will be celebrating the social, cultural and political achievements and progress of women throughout the month. There will be a series of events happening on site to mark the occasion – Click here to find out more about our celebrations.
Here at The Power Station, we’re also highlighting some of the amazing women we work with who have achieved so much in their fields and advanced the cause of women everywhere by doing so. Here they are:
Hilary Rowland is Creative Director and co-founder of Boom Cycle, whose flagship studio is located at Battersea Power Station’s Circus West Village. Boom, which started business in 2011, was the original high-energy cycle spinning class in London and it now has four studios with more on the way.
Before founding her own business, Hilary was a fashion model. She comes from the USA and started modelling at 15. She moved to New York City to model professionally when she was 21, only months after 9/11, and soon was travelling and working all around the world. She moved again to London in 2004, and had the idea for Boom Cycle soon after as she noticed the absence of boutique spin classes in the city – they were already popular in New York.
A few years later Hilary met her husband and business partner Robert, and the two founded Boom Cycle together. Alongside being Creative Director, Hilary personally leads an average of ten rides a week at Boom studios. She and Robert live at Circus West, and were among the first 100 “pioneers” to move in.
Mel Marriott has had a career in hospitality spanning over twenty years, working on large brands - including All Bar One for Mitchells and Butlers - as well as smaller independent projects both in London and overseas. She founded Darwin and Wallace in 2012 with the support of The Imbiba Partnership and is passionate about the importance of great design and its role within her business.
Since launch less than six years ago the independent bar group has grown to include No 11 Pimlico Road, No 32 The Old Town, No 1a Duke Street, No 197 Chiswick Fire Station and No 29 Power Station West. Mel’s vision has been to create a modern interpretation of a 21st century pub, innovative in design, local, independent and indicative of the area, serving drinks and seasonal food all day.
“We are redefining a formulaic Gastro Pub model with a modern, all day, creatively designed interpretation of what a pub should be," says Mel. "Our mantra is to look beyond the obvious, work harder than the rest, surround yourself with things you love.”
Alice Mayor is the founder of revolutionary Carnaby Street souvenir shop We Built This City. She had the idea for We Built This City while riding on a number 19 bus, when she found herself looking into a typical London souvenir shop on Holborn. It stocked the usual selection of low-quality, cliched souvenirs, mostly cheaply mass-produced in overseas factories.
“With such a highly acclaimed creative community in London, I suddenly realised we could do so much better than that!” she says.
Soon after, We Built This City opened on Carnaby Street, one of London’s iconic shopping destinations. It showcases artworks and gifts from Mayor’s network of hundreds of London artists, makers and creators: one of its many offbeat products is bottles of genuine British rain for visitors to take back home with them as a memento of their experiences in the UK.
When Battersea Power Station came to open its Design Store, it was obvious that Alice and her team were the right people to help with setting it up. The Battersea Power Station Design Store stocks a selection of homewares, fashion, stationery, jewellery, artwork, gifts and souvenirs, all inspired by the Grade II* listed Power Station and its riverside location.
Morag’s mantra is “make happy those who are near and those who are far will come”. London born and bred, Morag has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by the way in which colour and pattern can change urban environments and people’s perceptions of spaces into places. From schools and hospitals to cultural hubs and town centres Morag transforms public spaces by creating engaging experiences for everyone. At Battersea Power Station she created “Power”, the visually arresting artwork incorporating Grosvenor Arch – the riverside entrance to Circus West Village.
Morag is obsessed with "Belonging" and talks around the world about it: her last stop was Design Indaba, Cape Town where she spoke to 1500 in the audience and 3000 people online. Her contribution to educational environments was recognised in 2015, when her work with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris on Burntwood School won the Stirling Prize for Architecture. Morag was made a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in 2017, a widely recognised award that celebrated her work
for providing “significant benefit to society”.

“What’s a market economist to do?” asked Neil Dutta, head of economic research for Renaissance Macro, in a recent note.
Dutta comes down on the side of the markets.
“The financial markets are right to look beyond the rise in COVID cases at the moment,” he notes. “Economists, however, have yet to catch on. (GDP) estimates for Q4 2020 have been slipping in recent weeks while growth forecasts for next year have been holding steady. Economists need to catch up to markets, not the other way around.”
It should be noted that just about everyone with an interest in markets and the economy knows GDP is the epitome of a lagging indicator.
And it’s especially meaningless in a year that has defied every historical standard so far. As Steve Blitz, chief U.S. economist for TS Lombard, put it in an analysis forecasting Q3 GDP growth at 25-30%, “when numbers are this big, ranges make more sense than arguing the usual differences around tenths of a percentage point.”
It should also be noted that arguing about percentage gains for GDP, whether in a wide range or down to decimal places, leaves out the human dynamic of the pandemic, especially set against the failure of Congress to help tide over Americans who’ve lost jobs or business owners who have been forced to file for bankruptcy.
But Dutta’s point is that markets are looking past the next six weeks that make up the fourth quarter—and perhaps even the first six or so weeks of the new year, to the early spring, when more Americans will start to be vaccinated, when slightly warmer weather may draw more people out, and when the impact of gathering in groups may be somewhat less dangerous.
What Q4 taketh, Q1 giveth back, he writes: “At the same time, we’d be revising up Q4 2021 estimates too as life returns to normal.” That is what the stock market

One of the big HECM reverse mortgage disadvantages you may hear in the news media or read about online is the high fees. Yes, the fees can be high, but it doesn’t mean they always are. As with many things reported on in the media, there’s a little more nuance to the issue than the headlines would imply.
What Are the Fees to Get a Reverse Mortgage?
Like any mortgage product, there are closing costs that have to be paid to get the loan. Whether the fees are stiff or not, the good news is that most or all of them can be rolled into the new loan amount, so they don’t have to be paid out of pocket.
Reverse mortgage fees generally fall into three categories:
- 3rd party closing costs. These are the services the lender has to hire out to get the reverse mortgage done, including title insurance, escrow services, appraisal, etc. A lender is not allowed to mark up 3rd party closing costs; only the cost incurred can be passed on to the borrower.
- Origination. This is the lender’s fee for originating the reverse mortgage and it is often calculated based on home value. In other words, the higher the home value, the higher the fee, up to a maximum of $6,000 per FHA guidelines. Reverse mortgage borrowers often can negotiate this fee with the lender.
- IMIP. This is a fee charged by FHA to insure the HECM reverse mortgage and protect the lender and borrower if there’s not enough value in the home to pay back the reverse mortgage in the future. As with 3rd party closing costs, the lender cannot mark up this fee. Depending on how much is initially borrowed, this fee could be 0.5% or 2.5% of the appraised value (up to 2.50% of the FHA reverse mortgage lending limit).
If your home is worth a few hundred thousand or less and you owe little to nothing on it, the fees likely will be comparable or a little higher than what you would find on a traditional home loan. However, if your home value is worth more and you have a large mortgage balance, the fees could be pretty steep because you could fall under the higher IMIP rate of 2.50% of the appraised value.
As an example, let’s assume we’re working with a 75-year old single man who has a free and clear home in Texas worth $115,000. According to our reverse mortgage calculator, he would be able to access $64,735 in the form of cash or a line of credit (based on interest rates at time of publishing). His closing costs might look something like the following:
- IMIP: $575
- Origination: $2,500
- 3rd party costs: $2,800
For this kind of initial loan amount in Texas, these closing costs could be very comparable to a traditional forward mortgage.
As another example, let’s assume we’re working with a single 81-year old woman in Utah who has a home worth $375,000 and a mortgage balance of $175,000. The reverse mortgage calculator shows that she can completely eliminate her mortgage payment (which saves her around $1,000/month) and access an additional $58,450 in the form of a line or credit or lump sum in cash. Her closing costs might look something like the following:
- IMIP: $9,375
- Origination: $3,750
- 3rd party closing costs: $2,800
The biggest reason her total costs are so much higher is because she’s paying off a large mortgage balance and falls under the higher IMIP rate (2.50% of the home value). FHA charges much more for the IMIP because there’s a higher risk she could owe more on the home than it’s worth in the future, which means FHA could have to settle part of the loan balance out of the mortgage insurance fund.
The Right Perspective
As we’ve seen, yes, fees can be pretty stiff for a reverse mortgage depending on the scenario in question. However, they can be for forward mortgages as well. As of this writing, FHA charges a standard 1.75% of the loan amount for upfront mortgage insurance when you purchase a home using a traditional FHA loan. If you’re purchasing a $250,000 home, that’s $4,266 (assuming a minimum down payment of 3.50%) that has to be paid in addition to any other closing costs, such as title insurance, escrow, gov’t recording, prepaid interest, origination, etc.
Funding fees for VA mortgages can run as high as 3.30% of the loan amount for certain refinance scenarios (in addition to any other closing costs).
As with anything, it’s always important to look at cost versus benefit. If you’re retired and have 28 years to go on your mortgage, what’s really more expensive? An IMIP fee (that you typically don’t have to pay out of pocket) or having to limit your lifestyle because of a large mortgage payment that you’ll likely be making until you die?
As with any financial tool, it’s important to evaluate both costs and benefits. If the costs are high but the benefits much higher, it can still make a ton of sense to move forward.
You Can Negotiate Reverse Mortgage Fees
Depending on the lender you’re working with, the current interest rate environment, and the initial loan amount you’re working with, you may have some room to negotiate fees with your lender. This is especially true if you’re starting out with a pretty substantial loan amount that will generate a good amount of interest for the lender over time. There’s no guarantee that the lender will cut fees, but you never know unless you ask, right?
How Much the Fees Are Depends on the Scenario
As we’ve shown, the fees for a reverse mortgage can be expensive, but it doesn’t mean they always are – it just depends on the scenario. If the home value is a few hundred thousand or less and you have little or no mortgage balance, the fees are very reasonable to many forward mortgage products. If you have a high home value and a high mortgage balance, the fees can be stiff, but you might be able to negotiate the fees down substantially.
Whatever the reverse mortgage fees are, most or all of them can usually be rolled into the new loan amount, so you won’t need to pay them out of your pocket.

Proximity to Port. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Hotel not far from a supermarket. Room not clean, bath plus had razor head stuck in it. Check in complicated. Payment was incorrect and had to go back to reception twice. Pool was so busy not able to use in 3 days. Also staff at leisure centre very abrupt.
Beds were comfortable and breakfast was good. As above. Staff friendly and efficient. Brilliant location Amazing staff Good facilities. Misleading car parking signs. So easy and comfortable but at the same time stylish. Room was excellent very clean facility was really good staff brilliant. My only complaint was the air con could not be switched off so the fan was running constantly which is quite annoying if your a light sleeper which I am. They did not have a good wine selection even though the bar staff was great.

Staff were very friendly, and tried to help in any way they could. Even though it looks dirty on the outside, it is very clean in the inside. They had lots of rooms, there were two other hotels that were premier inn hotels, and there was the Marriott, that had rooms.
Thank you Marriott. First time visit and booked in for one night on business in what appeared to be a business park area, easy enough to find and just of the Motorway M The room was of a good size, clean and warm with bath fitted with a shower. The Breakfast was good with plenty of choice and starts early enough for any business hrs and has an option of cooked to order.
No sure I would stay there is it was a Private visit though. Cannot comment on the Spa as did not get a chance to use it — but there appeared a lot of people from outside the hotel doing so! Dear Guest, we would like to thank you for your candid feedback and the suggestions you made where we can improve. I will pass on your comments to my team and they should all know about the internet questions and food items. Most of items are sourced nationally from various suppliers, since we purchase centrally for all our 65 UK hotels.
We do have some local flexibilty in fish, watercress and cheeses, ice cream. We are working on insulation of all connecting doors in the hotel and will be finihsed by the ned of March My second business stay at this busy hotel, which I believe is a converted office block. Large comfortable room with two double beds, which was clean and tidy room.
Very comfortable beds with lots of pillows! Usual hotel bathroom I spotted a member of the cleaning team in the corridor and asked for some soap, thinking that they had forgot to put some in my room; but was told that they had run out and was expecting some more later in the week.
I was offer some more body wash, but declined as I did have some soap of my own. Check-in service was polite and efficient. After finding my room on the first floor, I was a little disappointed and it was on the rhs of the corridor, on the first floor, which meant the view from the large window was over the busy atrium area on the ground floor which contained the restaurant and bar area, all open plan. I was concerned that this may have resulted in a noisy room, so I returned to the reception and asked to change rooms.
I would have preferred a room on the left side of the corridor, but was advised that one was not available. However I was reallocated a room on the 4th floor which was above the atrium roof. Not a great view But it was only for one night! Food was good, evening meal - great "special" lamb curry, and breakfast was self-service and plentiful. Overall, very good This is outrageous Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback and just wanted to let you know that the hotel was purpose build as a hotel at the same time the IBM UK head quarters were build 31 years ago.
We installed one hour free internet in our lobby for customers who just want to check their mails quickly. We have installed a 50MB line for business use and our internet service will give your device a secure IP address so no other users will have access to your devices. Marriott is looking at various options for and we hope to be able to offer something different in the near future.
You can use up to 5 devices pe room. I hope that you will visit us again soon, since we have the best large hotel in town. This was our second visit to the Marriott Portsmouth, for what is turning out to be a bi-annual shopping trip to Gunwharf Quays. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the rooms pleasant - although perhaps a little 'ordinary' - especially the bathrooms. However, we had a very good night's sleep after a busy afternoon shopping, in a cosy, clean and comfortable room. As it was a bitterly cold weekend with plenty of snow around we decided not to venture out in the evening, and booked a table in the Seaview restaurant.
Expecting dinner to be "OK" we were delighted at the very high standard of cooking and presentation. Easily, the best meal we have ever had in Portsmouth - especially after the two diabolical offerings at Jamie Oliver's place on previous visits. In fact, one of the best meals out, we have had for ages, so top marks to the chef! If we return to Portsmouth again for another shopping trip which is almost certain to happen we will certainly book into this hotel, and no doubt dine in again. Breakfast is a buffet arrangement and was very good. So in summary, not the most "exciting" hotel as far as decor goes, and the location may not appeal to all - but it suits us just fine and have now enjoyed two really good visits.

Overall, good value, clean rooms, very professional staff and in our experience, a really great restaurant. Dear Guest, thank you for visiting again and I am very please with your comments on the foodand service quality since we have worked hard on this the last few years. You might seen we have one Rosette from the AA of which we are proud. Just for info, w eare planning our bathroom renovation in and will have great bathrooms and all up to date. Arrived here late last night and needed somewhere to stay so as it was on the main road decided to stay here.
Hotel itself was very clean and checkin was pleasant and the staff being very polite and courteous. On arrival at the room we had a beautiful view of the thick snow and the room itself was Brit and very clean. We did order room service which took twenty five minutes and the food itself was reasonable. Too easy. No booking fee, no mark-up.

NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga is facing a delicate balancing act in achieving a six-piece vote after he appeared to recognise independent candidates in his Nyanza backyard.
Independent candidates have now refused to let go of Raila’s coat tail after he said last week that ODM and Independent candidates were his people.
This has emboldened the Independent candidates who had been branded outsiders and Jubilee moles in the opposition strongholds.
But observers and NASA presidential campaign team in Nyanza now say the candidates misinterpreted Raila’s comments to mean he was supporting them.
They explained that the NASA flagbearer meant that he had no personal problem with the Independent candidates but was only supporting those vying on ODM tickets.
Final dash: NASA beats Jubilee to Uhuru Park
“What Raila said in Homa Bay was clear and must not be misunderstood. He said the Independent candidates were free to hunt for votes but insisted on six piece vote,” said NASA Nyanza presidential campaign coordinator Gladys Wanga.
While speaking in Homa Bay, Raila endorsed Governor Cyprian Awiti’s re-election bid on ODM ticket but urged him and the Independent candidate Oyugi Magwanga to stop trivial fights that could jeopardise voter turn out.
During the rally, Raila who paraded all ODM officials and candidates for various seats said: “Awiti is my man. Magwanga is also my man. I want them to stop these small fights down here and allow focus on the bigger picture. NASA will form a big government and those who will lose will be offered jobs.”
Following this statement, the independent candidate’s supporters took to the streets to celebrate his ‘recognition’ by Raila. An upbeat Magwanga announced that he will use his resources to support NASA’s adopt-a-polling station programme. He revealed that he was recruiting up to 300 agents to guard Raila’s votes.
But in a swift rejoinder Ms Wanga and Nominated MP Oburu Oginga told Magwanga to keep off the project, as he was not a NASA member.
Saturday , Wanga who issued the statement on behalf of the Nyanza presidential campaign team, told Independent candidates that ODM and NASA have their own mechanism of recruiting agents and guarding presidential votes.
“NASA is capable of protecting its own votes. Once you are an Independent candidate, you are on your own. You are not NASA,” she said.
She termed Magwanga’s move a populist strategy aimed at seeking sympathy votes.
Wanga argued that there are no legal provisions that allow independent candidates to recruit agents for other party candidates.
“The independents are just opportunists. How will they even present the agents they are claiming to recruit for NASA to IEBC?” she posed.
But Magwanga and Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma, who is defending the seat on Independent ticket, have been riding on Raila’s comments to win support.
The Homa Bay Independent governor aspirant thanked Raila for “clearing the air over his relationship with the Independent candidates.” “Raila said that we are all his people and that the people should decide who is best suited for the county’s top office,” said Magwanga
Ranguma, while addressing mourners during the burial of a Maseno University lecturer, Prof Philip Aduma in Kano on Friday, also thanked Raila for recognising them (Independent candidates). “We have been maliciously labelled Jubilee moles but our leader Raila made it clear,” he said.
Other Independent candidates in the region are Rarieda MP, Nicholas Gumbo who is seeking to unseat Siaya Governor Cornell Rasanga, former Energy minister Ochilo Ayacko who is vying for Migori Governor, James Gesami who will battle it out with Nyamira Governor John Nyangarama and Gem MP Jckoyo Midiwo who is defending the seat.
The confusion over Raila’s comments has now put the NASA presidential campaign team in a tight spot as they campaign for the six piece vote.
“We want to make it very clear that Independent candidates are out brothers and sisters but there is no way Raila can endorse them at the expenses of those from his own party. They must not misrepresent facts. Raila was speaking like a statesman who wants peace to prevail,” said Dr Oburu.
Raila’s decision to tone down attacks on the Independent candidates was informed by the fact that their supporters will vote for him.

In 'The Spread of Nuclear Weapons - A Debate Renewed', two major international relations scholars resume their well-known dialogue about these important questions, as well as others. Kenneth Waltz, the dean of realist theory in international relations, expands on his argument that 'more may be better,' contending that new nuclear states will.
In The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate, two major scholars of international politics debate this critical issue. Kenneth Waltz, the dean of neorealist theory in international relations, argues that fears about nuclear proliferation are exaggerated: "More may be better," since new nuclear states will wisely use their weapons to deter other.
Eight sovereign states have publicly announced successful detonation of nuclear weapons. Five are considered to be nuclear-weapon states (NWS) under the terms of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are the United States, Russia (the successor state to the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, France, and China.
The United States is one of the five nuclear weapons states with a declared nuclear arsenal under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), of which it was an original drafter and signatory on 1 July (ratified 5 March ).

THE QUILL present the official video for “Where Eagles Dare”, the first single from their upcoming album “Live, New, Borrowed, Blue” (Metalville Records – release 28.01.). The “Maiden” classic, which will also be released as a digital single this Friday, originally comes from the long out-of-print 2003 tribute album “Slave To The Power”, to which THE QUILL contributed with this track.
“Live, New, Borrowed, Blue”
Digging through old boxes you find stuff you’ve totally forgotten about – and every once in a while you find old nuggets well worth rediscovering again. And when you’ve been active as a band for a long time, you always find songs that didn’t fit into the usual album format. For the reasons we know, THE QUILL had a lot of free time last year to look through the remaining tracks to shorten the waiting time for the next studio album for the fans. “Live, New, Borrowed, Blue” contains tracks from the sessions for the last album “Earthrise” as well as some cover songs that THE QUILL recorded in the late 90s for various tribute albums that are now long out of print. As a kind of icing on the cake, there are also two live tracks from the Sweden Rock Festival 2019, as a reminder of this fantastic performance.

A recent proposal for a 13-storey tower in Xemxija has prompted NGO Moviment Graffitti to call on the public to join its opposition to the project, noting the impact of the “monstrous” development.
The tower will include almost 300 apartments and is being proposed just a few metres away from the controversial construction of a nine-storey multi-tower residential and commercial complex at the former Mistra Village site (over 700 apartments) subject to a drawn-out tribunal appeals process.
If approved, the latest project, proposed by applicant Tony Gauci through architect Ray Demicoli, would see a massive complex built on what is currently protected and undeveloped garigue, close to historic cart ruts and Roman baths in the area.
In a statement protesting the project, Graffitti announced a conference at the site on Saturday, calling the public to “voice their concerns and make it clear that this proposal should be refused outright to safeguard the interests of the residents and our cultural heritage”.
“Xemxija residents are already facing the construction of another 700-plus apartments… metres away from the proposed 13-storey tower,” they said.
Graffitti said, “Another monstrous development would continue to add to the copious amounts of noise, dust, traffic and stress to the area’s residents”.
They called on the Planning Authority, the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and the government to “protect the land for the common benefit of residents… preserving cultural and natural heritage”.
Last year, The Shift reported how ongoing works by another developer at an adjacent site are causing “constant mental stress” for residents. A decision by the Environment and Planning Tribunal to dismiss an appeal against the project’s approval was overturned by the courts.
While the tribunal is still reevaluating the appeal, works at the site continue, aided by regulatory loopholes introduced by the Malta Tourism Authority.
A reform of the appeals process to halt works under appeal, promised by Prime Minister Robert Abela last May, has not been done.
Moviment Graffitti press conference in protest of the project will be held at the site on Triq Piscopo Macedonia on Saturday 9 March at 10:30am.

Empire State Development (ESD) today announced the ESD Board of Directors awarded the contracts to perform asbestos abatement and air monitoring services at the Midtown Plaza site to Cambria Contracting, Inc. and Paradigm Environmental Services, Inc., respectively. These contracts are being funded by ESD through a $55 million Upstate City-by-City grant that was awarded to the Midtown Rising development effort.
“We are reshaping downtown Rochester and the Midtown Rising project is the cornerstone. Our rebirth would not be possible without the continued commitment and dedication of Gov. Paterson – we are extremely grateful.” said Mayor Robert J. Duffy. “I am pleased that the abatement contractor will be putting local people to work and that the air monitoring contractor is a city firm. It is vitally important that we use local workers in this stressed economy.”
ESD Upstate President Dennis Mullen said: “ESD is very pleased with the selection of these two companies for this important component of the Midtown redevelopment effort. Without Governor Paterson’s continued support of this effort, we would not be able to continue moving forward with our goal to revitalize downtown Rochester. Today marks a significant milestone in this development effort, as we are now able to start preparing the Midtown site for demolition. ESD looks forward to continuing our strong relationship with our partners in this effort to ensure our development timeline remains on target and that progress is furthered along.”
Cambria Contracting, Inc., headquartered in Lockport, New York, is a highly experienced, full-service demolition, dismantlement, asbestos abatement, recovery, salvage, environmental remediation, recycling and site preparation services company. Cambria has pledged to hire local labor for this project through local unions, advertising and interviews.
The $34.1 million asbestos abatement contract will consist of the removal, transportation and disposal or recycling of all asbestos-containing materials, hazardous wastes and universal waste from the locations indicated in the specifications or as directed by ESD and the City of Rochester. The asbestos abatement contract secures the services of a qualified asbestos abatement contractor to perform all asbestos removal activities necessary to prepare the Midtown Plaza buildings for demolition.
Paradigm Environmental, Inc., which has offices in the city of Rochester, has over 18 years experience in asbestos inspection, air monitoring and design services for all abatement and demolition services, including the recent $240 million “Footprint Reduction” program at Kodak Park.
The $1.69 million air monitoring contract secures the services of an independent Asbestos Monitoring Consultant that will provide project monitoring and air sampling to support the asbestos removal, decontamination and demolition of the buildings collectively known as Midtown Plaza. The consultant will also provide oversight and tracking of all other hazardous materials removed during the pre-demolition abatement and building cleanout.
At the peak of this process, lasting for approximately six months, there will be double shifts with up to 200 people per day working on the site. The entire asbestos abatement process is scheduled to begin this summer and will conclude approximately 14 months after the date of commencement.

JAN. 21, NELSON H. KOBREN MEMORIAL GYMASIUM-
Blair played scrappy defense and a solid game overall to keep up with the Damascus Hornets (8-2) for most of the night; but as the clock wound down, Blair's inability to convert held them back from their second win. The game heated up in the second half, turning into a closely fought, back-and-forth contest, but too many missed opportunities kept the Blazers (1-10) from overcoming the heavily-favored Hornets, who walked out of Blair 57-53 winners.
The Blazers - especially senior point guard Makonnen Brown, who had a stellar passing night - showed improvement in keeping turnovers to a minimum tonight and played a terrific transition game. Sophomores Jaydee Encarnacion and Ross Williams led Blair's outside scoring, with four treys between them in the second half. The Blazers, Williams especially, shot uncharacteristically well from long range but missed mid-range jumpers and textbook lay-ups in the first half kept Blair from ever fully taking control.
Baskets were hard to come by for entire contest. Blair kept Damascus out of the paint for most of the first half, but the Hornets were able to keep in the game with their superior three-point shooting. While Damascus certainly played capable defense, the Blazers did most of the work for them, missing fifteen-footers and drives that looked like givens. Senior Kenan Myers was the only one able to take it to the hole in the first half and even he was effectively silenced after the first quarter. Junior Jacob Wade made a big showing down low in the second half, he played physical and would consistently take the dish from Brown and bust his way in for two, despite a height disadvantage against the Damascus post players.
The Blazers entered the second half only a point down, 23-22, and, in a table-turning series of plays, took advantage of Damascus mistakes to get themselves up by three by the end of the third, 37-34. Brown led the assault, working furiously to get it inside to Wade or in the corners for Encarnacion. Williams led the Blazers' defensive stand at the other end, playing tight coverage and making gutsy grabs all night. The Blazers also showed a significant improvement in their foul shooting. It had become an all too common sight to see Blair player blank on both freebies, but happened only once or twice against the Hornets. Unfortunately the Blazers got the wind taken out of their sails at the end of the quarter as Damascus hit an impossible half-court three at the buzzer, grabbing the momentum going into the final period.
The Hornets came roaring back in the fourth, picking off several of Brown's passes and converting them on the other end. Wade and Williams kept up their scoring for much of the quarter, but the Blazers as a team could not grab the second-chance points they so desperately needed. Damascus shaped up their play and shot well from the line to regain the lead. Oddly, Brown did not make an appearance until the final minute, promptly sinking a three as he walked on to the court. His presence may have been the edge the Blazers needed in the fourth; they had to consistently battle for points. Blair's hard-pressing defense could not contain the Hornets and they grabbed a few more points in the final seconds to win 57-53.
The Blazers showed definite signs of improvement tonight, especially on defense, and if they can shoot with more precision they will certainly be more of a threat to the conference powers. They'll need all of that in their next game on Tuesday, Jan. 25 at Magruder at 7 p.m.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Leaders in Richland School District One had to field questions from parents after newspaper reports said the district made a $4.5 million budgeting error.
Superintendent Craig Witherspoon said they have not mishandled the funding and wanted to explain exactly how the budgeting process works.
“Let’s be clear,” he said. “There has been no deficit either. As a part of the budget process, we have a list of needs. On the other side of the ledger, you have the revenue amounts. So you have to take that list of needs and prioritize to match your revenue.”
Witherspoon said the 2019-2020 budget hasn’t been finalized and any expenditures listed in earlier financial reports that are now absent were needs that they were hoping to receive funding for.
He said they modify those reports as they learn how much funding they actually will receive.
Some taxpayers at the meeting believe that the school board is handling things correctly.
“I trust the school board,” said Richland County taxpayer Robert Reese.
But many parents don’t feel the same way.
“We want to believe in transparency,” said one mother who spoke at the meeting. “But you have to understand the position we’re in as taxpayers.”
Board member Beatrice King said she wants to focus on making sure financial cuts aren’t happening in the classroom.
She’s questioned the filling of two administrative positions during this process, as the district works to make sure they can pay teacher salaries with the state-mandated increase.
“I put kids in classrooms before I put hiring new administrators,” King said. “We recently hired two highly paid positions, which, in my opinion, were actually new positions. That eats up a quarter of a million dollars.”
The superintendent said they’re still working on that budget and tells WIS this year’s process is no different from any other.
Now, the board is focused on how they will balance the budget before the school year with the teacher pay increase, as well as some other mandates.
Superintendent Witherspoon said the 2019-2020 budget will still need to have its third reading before being finalized.


Simple Tables in BRF+
We developing rules using BRF+ and as part of the rules we have requirements to store tables with more than 5000 rows.
These tables are simple data tables - key and value combinations.
In BRF+ we are having model these as decision tables. Since the access/read technique for decision tables seem to be sequential , the performance of the table read varies significantly based the location of the particular entry/key. Keys in the end of the table take longer than keys/data elements at the beginning.
The queries we have are as follows
Is there a data object which resembles a simple table ? or Are Decision tables the only data object which can be used to model tables in BRF+ ?
We also find that in cases where we use a simple ABAP table and use DBLOOKUP in BRF+ , the performance is significatly better. So is this the recommended approach or are there other options sing which we can store and read data efficiently in BRF+ ?
Thanks in advance!

I guess this is as good a time as any. Remember how I said it would be really cool to write for Otaku USA? Well, now I do! Funny story!
Actually it's really SHORT. All I did was comment really lamely on the myspace page and, of course, the nature of comments is such that it's still there if anyone is curious exactly what was said. Patrick, the editor-in-chief, mailed me back right away saying that he'd love to have me write for them.
*_* O_O X_X :D ^_^ @_@ !_!
You can imagine how I felt at that moment.
Anyways, I was going to say anything until issue two actually came out, but that's a long ways away and I might as well let everyone know early so they know to camp the bookstores when it hits in August. The submission date is sometime next week and I should have at least a couple things in. I'll be doing primarily game section stuff, (reviews, etc) but most exciting is that I'm in cahoots with the section editor planning cool stuff. We'll see how it goes.

I have to admit, I am a little like my main character Ian, at least when it comes to writing. Of course, I’m not psychic, although I think I have good intuition most of the time. One of my favorite things to do is to use my sub-conscious mind either to come up with creative ideas or solve plot problems. The way I do this is to think of my story every night while I’m in bed about to fall asleep. If I have a plot problem, I will fall asleep trying to work it out. Many times I wake up with the answer. Sometimes even in the middle of the night I will wake up with an idea. If I go back to sleep too fast there is the problem of forgetting, so I keep pen and paper near the bed.
Oddly, it can be harder for me to fall asleep if I don’t have an interesting story going. My mind will just bounce around either bored or preoccupied with a problem.
There have been other times when even my sub-conscious can’t solve the plot problem. In these cases, I push myself until I get it worked out. Sometimes I have to backtrack to all the previous scenes and ask questions. Have I set up enough conflict? Is everything working? Where is the character motivation coming from?
One of the biggest plot problems that used to hold me up was the temptation to let other characters take over the story. I wanted to explore those other characters because I liked them so much, but it just didn’t work. For me, my stories have to stay on track with one main character dominating most of the scenes.
I am also working on a sequel to Vallar, but the thing is I have never written a sequel. I find it challenging for many reasons. Trying this myself has made me realize why many times the sequel is not as good as the original (especially in the movies). One of the difficulties is to not create the same thing in a different form. On the other hand, I like a challenge, so I’m determined to finish it.
So tonight all my writing friends, think about your story and see what happens in the morning. Or maybe in the middle of the night. Keep that notepad handy.

Authorities Use DNA Testing Service to Identify “Golden State Killer” - What Does This Mean for You?
From the article:
Late last month, authorities charged a man in Sacramento County, California as the so-called Golden State Killer after tracking him down with a private DNA test company, one called GEDmatch. Joseph James DeAngelo is accused of a string of rapes and murders in the 1970s and 80s.
Glenn Cohen is a professor at Harvard Law School and the Faculty Director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology & Bioethics. He explained that authorities narrowed down their suspect to one man by using DNA from the crime scene that they submitted to GEDmatch. Then they found family members on the site and were able to narrow it down to DeAngelo.
So how protected are people when they give their DNA to these companies? Cohen said, “In this case there was not a subpoena or a warrant, they just ran the search as individuals. But in the case of Ancestry.com, they did require a court-order to do it, so it’s a kind of protection.”

Resilience in an energy system can be defined as its ability to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from shocks and stresses. Energy resilience in the Asia-Pacific region is shaped by dynamics relating to energy security, transitions, reliability and recent disasters, such as coastal flooding, volcanic eruptions, cyclones and COVID-19. This interactive workshop series on 1-4 December 2020 will open up dialogue on energy resilience focusing on the experience of Pacific Island Countries, as well as exchange experiences with other regions. Case studies will include Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Tuvalu and Tokelau, as well as drawing experience from Australia and a range of other countries. The aim of the series is to jointly identify research priorities for increasing energy resilience using grid and off-grid renewable energy in Pacific Island Countries. The three workshops are:
- Planning and investing in more resilient energy systems (15:30-17:30 AEDT, 1st December)
- Energy resilience and the political economy of off-grid solar (15:30-17:30 AEDT, 2nd December)
- Community energy resilience strategies in response to disasters (15:30-17:30 AEDT, 3rd December)
We will bring together insights from the three workshops in a panel discussion at the Urban Resilience Asia Pacific Conference:
- Energy resilience and disasters in the South Pacific: political economy dynamics, community responses and planning (16:00-16:50 AEDT, 4th December)
The series is organised by the University of New South Wales, University of the South Pacific, University of Papua New Guinea and Loughborough University, with contributions from partners ITP Renewables, GSES and CSIRO. We welcome participants from the Asia-Pacific Solar Research Conference, Urban Resilience Asia Pacific Conference and Geographic Information for Disaster Management Conference. The work is supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s International Engagement Program, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Research Fellowship scheme.

'Tropical Malady' explores the passionate relationship between two men with unusual consequences. The film is divided in two parts. The first half charts the modest attraction between two men in the sunny, relaxing countryside and the second half charts the confusion and terror of an unknown menace lurking deep within the jungle shadows.

The original title in Thai means in English: "Beast" or "Monster". The director translates the original Thai title into English as "Strange Animal". This is the literal, word-for-word translation (Sud = Animal, Pralad = Strange). See more »
Having had a good think about the film after seeing it this afternoon, I still can't escape the feeling that there was a really excellent film in the subject matter and narrative elements, but that the director just hadn't quite found a way to get that film to the screen. Instead, he found a film that ultimately taxes most viewer's patience. There were some really lovely elements, I agree, but there is something about the editing that was just this side of over indulgent (and I happen to generally like long, loving, camera shots that are meditative!). The jungle portion of the film, IMHO, suffered from a lack of visual information in most instances (and yet this is one of the strengths of some the individual jungle scenes, like those of the tree, the tiger and ghost ox, where, just because of this unrelenting sameness, stand out marvelously). It could have been half the length and by virtue of that, twice as effective. Having said as much, I look forward to seeing more by this director, he clearly has a head on his shoulders and the courage to tackle difficult (yet rewarding) ideas.

Amid spiralling anger over the deaths in Tamil Nadu of a man and his son arrested for keeping their shop open beyond permitted hours, security footage appears to contradict claims that the two men had resisted arrest and fought with the police.
CCTV footage from Tuticorin has captured Jeyaraj, 59, and his son Beniks, 31, in the moments before they were arrested by the Sathankulam police on June 19 for violating coronavirus lockdown rules by keeping their mobile phone store open 15 minutes beyond curfew.
The timer on the CCTV footage shows well beyond 9 PM. NDTV cannot vouch for the veracity of the footage.
The seven-and-a-half minute footage from the evening of June 19 shows no argument at least in camera view as the FIR filed by the police claims. Neither does it show any "rolling around" by the men, which the police had alleged was part of the heated fight that led to the arrest of the father-son pair.
Jeyaraj is seen standing outside his shop talking on the mobile, then walking out of the camera's view. Later a small group watches from his shop. Then Beniks is seen rushing out, apparently after his father. It's not clear what happened off camera.
Beniks and some men return after a while, without Jeyaraj, presumed at this point to have been taken into custody. Beniks hops on a bike and leaves the shop.
The two men were allegedly subjected to brutal torture that night at the police station. Their family alleges they had severe internal and external wounds, including rectal bleeding.
The day after their arrest, a magistrate reportedly sent them to judicial custody without looking at the men, who were in a police vehicle, their bodies allegedly bearing signs of savage beating.
Beniks, whose wounds horrified his family members, died on June 22 while his father died the next day.
The FIR alleges the two men had verbally abused the police and were injured when they rolled around on the street, trying to fight arrest. Senior police officers NDTV tried to contact for a response did not respond to calls.
The tragic deaths have been compared to the killing in the US of George Floyd, a black man who suffocated when a police officer pinned him down with a knee while arresting him, choking him in the process. Protests that started in the US have now spread to various parts of the world.
People across India, including activists, politicians and celebrities have demanded murder charges against the policemen involved. The police have only registered a case of suspicious deaths till now. The state government has decided to hand over the investigation to the CBI, which, some activists say, could dilute the case and delay justice for Jeyaraj and Beniks.

Last 5 July, the Museum of Decorative Arts DresdenÂ held the official opening of Add to the Cake: Transforming the roles of female practitioners, a project I curated with Matylda Krzykowski under the moniker Foreign Legion. The project started with the A Woman’s Work symposium back in January, andÂ then evolved into a two-part exhibition, with a Preview opening back in 26 April.
With Add to the Cake,Â we wanted to take the conversation started at the symposium further: We commissioned various practitioners such as Ann Kern, Ji-hee Lee, Gabriel Maher and Garret Nelson to think aboutÂ What happens when you Add to the Cake?Â â€”Â to think about the future. For the exhibition that openedÂ 5 July 2019,Â spaces were transformed to give way to a series of installations on visions for the future of female practice. Simultaneously, various Visual FictionsÂ by contributors such asÂ Anne Dessing & Michel van Irsel, Gallery Stephanie Kelly, Kamau Patton and OOIEE, act as an expression of desire for something lacking here and now. The exhibitionÂ becomes the transformation it heralds, enacting futures that are inclusive, generous, all-encompassing and joyous.
Add to the CakeÂ advocates that we can â€“ and need to â€“ add to the existing â€œcakeâ€: infinite layers for an expanded canon.Â Adding to museum collections and to historical accounts, adding to collective memory and to possible futures. Most importantly, we must realise that â€œaddingâ€ enriches the existing context with multiple, varied voices andÂ perspectives.
After the jump,Â an outline of all the work and new commissions that were developed as part ofÂ Add to the Cake, as well as some installation views.

Why Can’t We Talk About Differentiating Teacher Salaries?May 14, 2012
NJ’s third-graders took their standardized tests this week, and one language arts question asked children to reveal a secret that was hard to keep. DOE Spokesman Justin Barra said the question was being field-tested and that “it is clear that this is not an appropriate question for a state test.” (Courier Post, Star Ledger, Press of Atlantic City)
NJ Spotlight reports on Gov. Christie’s plans to eliminate the HSPA, NJ’s standardized high school assessment, without relying on legislative approval: “When asked whether it would need approval of the legislature, Christie said Monday that most could be done through state code and the State Board of Education, of which he will have appointed its majority by the end of his term. ‘I think most of it we can do regulatory,’ Christie said on Monday. ‘If it needs some clean up, we can talk to [the legislature] about it, but nothing that will be a foundation of the policy.’”
Education Law Center has a great explanation of NJ’s new method for calculating high school graduation rates.
Camden’s former Human Resources Director Monise Princilus was fired last year because she refused to falsify Superintendent Bessie LeFra Young’s attendance records. Young has been absent for 186 days over the last 18 months. Princilus is suing the Camden Board of Education.
NJ’s CWA released the results of its latest contract: annual pay increases for 2011-2014 are, respectively, 0%, 0%, 1%, and 1.75%. Clothing maintenance allowance is reduced to $550 and only applies to workers who make less than $100,000 per year and have to wear uniforms. In The Lobby compares this settlement to the Corzine era when CWA members received “3% raises the first two years, 3.5% the final two — all this happening at the same time the private sector enacting wage freezes and layoffs.”
Speaking of unions, the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation released its report that investigated how union officers, including those from NJEA, receive millions of tax payer money for doing union work. NJEA President Barbara Keshishian said, “The purpose of such agreements is to promote labor harmony within districts by making it possible for problems to be addressed and resolved cooperatively rather than through adversarial processes. Also see The Chicago Tribune.
From the Star-Ledger: “More than 60 percent of the school administrators in New Jersey have failed to disclose the value of their unused sick and vacation time as required by a state law intended to make their compensation plans more transparent.”

Two Colorado deputies have been indicted and fired following investigations into the police shooting of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old who was armed with a knife and called 911 for roadside assistance, in June, officials and family attorneys said.
A grand jury on Wednesday issued an indictment against Claire Creek County Sheriff’s deputies Andrew Bowen, 29, and Kyle Gould, 36, according to the office of 5th Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum.
Bowen has been charged with second-degree murder, official misconduct and reckless endangerment, while Gould is charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment, according to online court records.
The charges stem from the murder of Glass, who was shot in the early morning of June 11 — more than an hour after police first arrived — and pronounced dead at the scene, according to the sheriff’s office. The autopsy report showed that Glass’s injuries were fatal and included five gunshot wounds to the torso and one to the right arm.
The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office received a “driver assistance” call on June 10 at 11:21 p.m. for what appeared to be a car crash, the office said, but said its driver, Glass, “immediately became contentious, uncooperative and armed with deputies.” himself with a knife.
Glass’s family disputed that description, saying in September that their son did not carry weapons and that the knives were rock tools used in rock carving as an art form.
Bond for Buen was set at $50,000 and for Gold at $2,500. Neither has an attorney listed, and both men are listed in custody at the Gilpin County Detention Facility, according to online records.
CNN is working to obtain copies of the indictments.
Following the indictment, the two deputies were fired, according to a statement from the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office.
The statement called the indictment “part of a painful but necessary process,” and found “political and procedural errors” in an ongoing internal investigation parallel to the criminal investigation.
“While the investigation is still ongoing, initial findings show policy and procedural failures, and the initial news release about the shooting, based on the information available at the time of the incident, does not reflect the totality of what happened in that terrible accident,” the statement said.
A statement from the Glass family’s attorney said, “Nothing will bring Christian back to his family,” but indicated that the charges had absolved them.
However, justice for Christians will require that all those involved be held accountable. The statement said Christian’s death was a disgrace to every officer who was present and failed to prevent escalation and unnecessary uses of force.
In a 911 call made by Glass’s family in September, he told the dispatcher, “I’ve got a gun on me. I’m going to throw them out the window as soon as the officer gets here,” and went on to describe having two knives, a hammer, and a rubber mallet.
Body camera video of the incident posted by the family shows Glass offering to throw the weapons from the car and being told not to do so by an officer.
“He actually offered to throw his stone knives and tools out the window so they wouldn’t worry. But they told him no and he obeyed,” Glass’s mother, Sally Glass, said at a news conference in September.
In the body camera video, responding deputies can be heard telling Glass to get out of the vehicle several times.
One of the responding officers asked Glass if he had taken any drugs, and Glass replied, “I smoked, I was…” before distracting the officer who placed what the family’s lawyers said were tape behind his car, as the video shows.
An autopsy report released by the Glass family attorney stated that Glass had both THC and amphetamines in his system.
The deputies managed to break the car’s windows and remove one of the knives, but Glass re-armed himself with a brick and a second knife, according to the sheriff’s office. In the video, deputies can be heard repeatedly asking Glass to drop the knife.
Deputies deployed bean bags and a taser with “negative results” before Glass “ultimately attempted to stab an officer,” according to the sheriff’s office.
Body camera video shows law enforcement then shooting Glass with a stun gun before he is seen contorting and then appearing to thrust a knife towards an officer before police fired several shots. The video then shows Glass apparently stabbing himself.
Body camera video released by the family’s attorneys was modified to blur Glass’s body.
“The only thing we edited from the videos is after Christian is removed from the car. We blur the screen where his body is on the ground and medical treatment is given to his body. We felt it was not appropriate to have Christian’s naked body in the world,” said lawyer Siddhartha Rathod.
CNN has requested an unedited copy of the body camera footage from the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office.
In a statement in September, Glass’s family and attorneys said he had been experiencing a mental health episode.
There was no need to threaten him with force. to draw guns for breaking his car window to fire beanbag rounds at close range; To harass him to shoot him dead. From start to finish, the officers on the scene were behaving unreasonably and inhumanely,” Glass’s parents and attorneys said.


Mr. Speaker, you will
recall that during the last session of the house I performed a similar duty, and I received some justifiable criticism from various members of the house because I apparently seemed too anxious to have this legislation passed by this body. I believe it was the general consensus of opinion then that some time should elapse so that public reaction to the bill could be ascertained by the members of the house. Since that time public reaction certainly has been duly ascertained.

Structural origins of DNA target selection and nucleobase extrusion by a DNA cytosine methyltransferase.
Publication Type:Journal Article
Source:J Biol Chem, Volume 287, Issue 48, p.40099-105 (2012)
Keywords:Bacterial Proteins, Base Sequence, Binding Sites, Cytosine, DNA, DNA Methylation, DNA-Cytosine Methylases, Haemophilus, Models, Molecular, Substrate Specificity

BACKGROUND: How DNA 5-cytosine methyltransferases (DCMTases) select their substrate nucleobase for extrusion from DNA duplex is poorly understood.

RESULTS: The crystal structure of a pre-extrusion M.HaeIII DCMTase-substrate DNA complex is reported here.

CONCLUSION: M.HaeIII selects its substrate cytosine for extrusion by selectively interfering with its stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions within the DNA duplex.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first structural elucidation of the target cytosine selection by a DCMTase. Epigenetic methylation of cytosine residues in DNA is an essential element of genome maintenance and function in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. DNA 5-cytosine methyltransferase enzymes (DCMTases) catalyze cytosine methylation via reaction intermediates in which the DNA is drastically remodeled, with the target cytosine residue extruded from the DNA helix and plunged into the active site pocket of the enzyme. We have determined a crystal structure of M.HaeIII DCMTase in complex with its DNA substrate at a previously unobserved state, prior to extrusion of the target cytosine and frameshifting of the DNA recognition sequence. The structure reveals that M.HaeIII selects the target cytosine and destabilizes its base-pairing through a precise, focused, and coordinated assault on the duplex DNA, which isolates the target cytosine from its nearest neighbors and thereby facilitates its extrusion from DNA.
