LOUIS, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A St. Louis alderman who moonlights as a bar owner has introduced a bill that could mean lower penalties for public urinators who try to be discreet. Advertisement Ken Ortmann's measure would separate taking a leak outdoors from indecent exposure. He hopes it will become law in time for the city's Mardi Gras celebration, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "There's a difference between going in the middle of the street, in front of God and country, and somebody who is behind a Dumpster," Ortmann said. Ortmann owns the Cat's Meow Bar in Soulard, the neighborhood that is the center of Mardi Gras festivities. His district also includes part of the neighborhood. Soulard residents are less enthusiastic. One woman told the newspaper that many of her neighbors turn on their sprinklers during Mardi Gras in hopes of keeping merrymakers from using their lawns as public toilets. Advertisement Asian with rude-sounding name changes it CHICAGO, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A Chinese immigrant from Hong Kong has legally changed his name to Andy Kwok because everyone laughed saying his real name -- Fuk King Kwok. Kwok said that in China, his name translates to "a very good meaning" and nothing at all like the vulgar English pronunciation. The first name is pronounced in Cantonese with a long "o" sound, rather than a short "u," the Chicago Sun-Times said. "And my middle name is terrible, too," Kwok acknowledged. "That combination becomes very terrible." Monica Pinas, 21, made the same decision as Kwok. She tired of hearing her name pronounced like "penis" instead of the Spanish "peen-yas," and paid $328 in Chicago to have her name changed to Monica Star. Similarly, April Showers became Denise Moore last year, the newspaper said. Students unmask fake duke OAK PARK HEIGHTS, Minn., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A young man convicted of having sex with his underage girlfriend is in trouble for passing himself off as British nobility at a Minnesota high school. Joshua Adam Gardner, 22, aka Caspian James Crichton-Stuart IV, the Fifth Duke of Cleveland, was unmasked by student reporters at the Stillwater Area High School. Advertisement The fake duke told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he was not trying to hurt anyone. He said he felt more comfortable with his fake identity. Gardner faces possible prison time for failing to keep authorities posted on his address and other probation violations. He was convicted when he was 18 of having sex with a 14-year-old. Officials at the high school said that Gardner never had any unsupervised contact with students and did not cause any problems. But the student reporters say he could be touchy about his rank. "He was demanding that we call him 'Your Grace,"' said Chantel Leonhart, one of the paper's managing editors. "He even demanded that the principal call him 'Your Grace.'" Thief gets sample of moon rock VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A thief who broke into a car in Virginia Beach, Va., made off with the world's most valuable rocks, ones with extraterrestrial origins. The car belonged to a National Aeronautics and Space Administration instructor who had the samples of lunar and meteorite rock for teaching purposes, the Virginian-Pilot newspaper reported. While the rocks may not look like much, they are worth about 10 times as much as the equivalent quantity of high-quality diamonds. Advertisement The samples were in a silver-colored metal briefcase and were sealed in plastic discs labeled "meteorite sample" and "lunar sample," a police spokeswoman said. None of the samples of rock retrieved from the moon by the flights there has ever been sold or given away. Rubik's cube record set at 11.13 seconds SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A 20-year-old California student has set a world record of 11.13 seconds for finishing a Rubik's cube at an international competition in San Francisco. Leyan Lo beat last year's record of 11.75 seconds, set in the Netherlands. "It was a lucky solve," he said. "It was kind of cool. You get good cases and bad cases all the time." There were other competitions at the event Saturday, Cnetnews.com reported, including the standard 3x3x3, the 3x3x3 blindfolded, the 3x3x3 one-handed and the 4x4x4. In the blindfolded contest, the trick to solving a Rubik's cube without being able to see is that competitors examine the cube before putting on their blindfolds and memorize all the layers and then, once blindfolded, apply algorithms they've learned to finish the puzzle.

Held at the former Wenona School, 313 S. Wenona Ave., the 38th annual sale offered books of all shapes, sizes and genres for the crowd. The sale began Thursday and will continue until 8 p.m Friday, picking up again Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All proceeds from the event go towards Bay County Library programs and activities for children. Many of the books are donated to the cause by community members.
Bonnie Darby, a longtime volunteer at the sale, said attendance was high and the group has already sold thousands of books. It's only the sale's second year in the former Wenona School building — it was formerly held at Hampton Towne Center — but Darby said the sale's success has been fairly consistent throughout the years.
"It's been going really well," she said. "It's our second year at Wenona School, but everyone still seems to be finding us."
Bay City resident Cathy Sujkowski has been to the sale annually for several years, and said she likes being able to support the library while buying a large variety of books for herself and everyone in her family.
"Every year I look forward to it," she said. "Everybody in the family enjoys it, and I like to support the library in any way I can."

New restaurant, Bar Arancini, slated for West Asheville
West Asheville dwellers have watched the Haywood Road space that used to house Pineapple Jack's with interest. And lately, there's been movement in the long-empty building.
Pineapple Jack's is not coming back to 643 Haywood Road. But another tenant plans to have the unit open again and serving food and drinks within the next three months.
Chef Katrina O'Donnell and her husband, Daniel O'Donnell, will open a street food-style Italian restaurant and bar there later this year called Bar Arancini. The French Culinary Institute-educated Katrina co-owned and operated a food truck in Austin, also called Arancini. The truck served Italian comfort food including lasagna and the fried risotto balls for which it was named.
When the O'Donnells left Austin, the move was apparently mourned by the food community. From the Scrumptious Chef blog:
Sometimes this job hits hard. This is one of the last obits in Austin we ever wanted to pen as we believed this food trailer to be on par with the finest Austin has to offer.
Right up there with Odd Duck, Three Little Pigs, El Taco Rico and East Side King. Upper atmosphere cuisine.
Chef Katrina O'Donell will be missed by Austin eaters who liked their Italian food carefully crafted and cooked with a hell of a lot of soul. A sister to the cooking of Marion Gilchrist at La Traviata.
We leave you with the words of O'Donell from an interview in the Daily Texan.
"[Cooking] is therapeutic. It's the simple pleasure of creating something, and people liking it, that joy for that one moment in time."

Christmas is getting closer
Stampin Up have some beautiful DSP and this years Christmas offerings have not disappointed me. If you are anything like me I have to buy a 'spare' pack so I don't have to cut it all up and I don't feel so bad about using that pretty paper. Just between you and me that is also why my fabric stash is so huge.
The opportunity presented itself to make the boss a Christmas card on behalf of my Midwifery Colegues so out came mu pretty paper and this is what I came up with.
It was a serious challenge and I will disclose I find upsizing cards hard - they just don't look right. It must be a proportional thing for me but I'm happy with how this one came out.
It took me hrs of agonising to get it 'right' and I am so greatful for the thick Whisper White card.

Michelle and Jason Rubell – from the family who owned the Rubell Museum in Miami – are used to life surrounded by art, and their New York City pied-à-terre is no exception.
The couple, who live in a contemporary home in Miami, fell in love with a building that dates back to 1927 and is situated on the Upper East Side, ideally located only a few steps from Central Park and the Frick Collection. For several months, the apartment was renovated by Edward Dew Architect while interior designer Monica Fried – at the helm of Monica Fried Design – took care of the typical large and free-flowing pre-war interior spaces, making them the ideal backdrop for the owners’ impressive art collection.
“Our aesthetic was really in sync,” remembers Fried, who worked on preserving the charm and old character of the home but also introduced contemporary touches and a relaxed atmosphere to the spaces.
“Our inspiration was Parisian chic – those French apartments that look effortlessly modern and classic at the same time,” says Fried. After stripping and refinishing the core of the space, the original oak parquet was preserved and brought back to life, now with a lighter tone. Most of the walls were painted in Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace – a bright white that gives the feeling of being in a gallery – in order to highlight the artworks in every room. Still featuring a pre-war feel, the bathrooms were completely gutted and modernised, and the kitchen – adorned with an Apparatus pendant light and a Thomas Struth photograph, and furnished with Brazilian cane chairs and Thomas Hayes stools in mustard leather from Holland & Sherry – was opened up to connect with the rest of the spaces.
From the entrance, colourful pieces by Rudolf Stingel, Rashid Johnson and Sayre Gomez stand out and combine with Eric Schmitt pendant lights and a Jens Risom vintage bench. In the dining room, the Kai Kristiansen dining chairs upholstered in Maharam pumpkin wool, the Lindsey Adelman chandelier, India Mahdavi stools, curtains with Pierre Frey fabric and artworks by Kim Dingle and Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl create both a sophisticated and casual ambience.
This spirit also pervades the living room, where the fireplace was remodelled. The mid-century sofas and the Saarinen chair and ottoman covered in charcoal mohair from Romo are placed on a Stark rug, while the teal blue lacquer desk from The Invisible Collection and the Richard Hawkins painting above it add more visual contrast. For her bedroom, the couple’s daughter wanted a decoration based on London’s pink Sketch restaurant designed by India Mahdavi, which then became the starting point for Fried.
“Each room has a base of neutrals with pops of bold ’70s-like mustard, citrus green and pumpkin,” describes Fried, who used materials such as brass for the doors, plaster for the walls and wood for the floors. The cosy and refined aesthetic is also reflected throughout the curated selection of furnishing from different eras.
“The apartment has a great mix of vintage pieces from Scandinavian and other European designers mixed with modern American pieces. The interesting thing about this project is that we started with the furniture, and after the installation, the clients pulled pieces from their collection to curate the space.”
The result doesn’t disappoint. According to Fried, “It is clean and classic, but also edgy and cool.”
For Michelle and Jason Rubell, their pied-à-terre in the Big Apple has all the ingredients they wanted, including a timeless allure that will age gracefully.
“Since my clients don’t live in New York City full-time, they wanted a home base that was comfortable and inviting,” concludes Fried. “The look is elevated and relaxed. Not every piece is precious but there are some gems in each room. This home is chic but not stuffy – the perfect base for a cool, contemporary art collection.”

iPhone 13 Pro Max Review: Buy this iPhone for battery and camera. The iPhone 13 Pro Max features the longest-lasting battery of any iPhone Apple has ever built. This phone is enormous and pricey, but it’s a good value. Some changes appear small – we failed to extract much from the 120Hz ProMotion display and Cinematic mode will be soon forgotten – but the low light camera is fantastic, the power onboard outstrips any phone on the market for hard workloads, and it has a coherent user interface and app experience. This is a huge, long-lasting iPhone.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is no longer the greatest iPhone on the market; upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. New gadget boasts always-on display, 48MP primary camera, no notch, and updated processor.
The 14 Pro Max’s predecessor isn’t awful. It has a long battery life, great cameras, and understated, tasteful hues. This is one of the top smartphones in the globe.
If you’re a fledgling (or professional) filmmaker, you can load this phone to the brim with material.
Table of Contents
iPhone 13 Pro Max Design
If you’re considering the iPhone 13 Pro Max, you know it’s a big phone. Huge. You desire screen, battery, and are willing to forgo feel in the hand for it.
Let’s examine its construction. The iPhone 12’s stainless steel outer band mimics the iPad Pro’s design from the past several years.
We miss the iPhone 6’s curved rear after a year. The iPhone 13 Pro Max’s sharper, more industrial-looking edges are grippier, but it’s less pleasant to hold.
Speaking of comfort, unless you have enormous hands, the iPhone 13 Pro Max might be difficult to use.
iPhone 13 Pro Max Display
iPhone 13 Pro Max Review: The iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 6.7-inch display has three main changes: a reduced notch, a screen that refreshes at up to 120Hz (for better scrolling and transitions), and enhanced brightness outside.
The lowered size of the notch is the most evident of the three, and although it’s great, it doesn’t really improve the iPhone design — there’s still a notch intruding on your movies and games, when other companies are dabbling with smaller punch-holes and even invisible cameras.
iPhone 13 Pro Max finally decent battery life
iPhone 13 Pro Max Review: The iPhone 13 Pro Max’s battery life is the main incentive to purchase it.
The idea of having an iPhone with respectable battery life would draw masses of customers to this model.
Why is the iPhone 13 Pro Max battery so popular? It’s sturdy. We put the phone off charge at 7:30am, and only managed to kill it by 4am the following day by downloading two big games. That’s 35 hours of battery life.
We tested the iPhone 11 Pro Max side-by-side, streaming YouTube at maximum brightness for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The previous model (which has been used for over a year, so battery deterioration is expected) decreased to 81%, while the new Pro Max plummeted to 91%.
Even if you were fair to the older iPhone, that’s a huge battery management gap.
On a super-hard day of testing, which included using the camera for hours, running about with Spotify playing in the background, making phone calls, running a YouTube test, and messing with the phone, we only got 14 hours of usage before charging.
iPhone 13 Pro Max Camera
iPhone 13 Pro Max Review: While the battery life is the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s main selling point, the camera is a close second. While the enhancements are merely changes from the iPhone 12 Pro Max, they make it one of the greatest camera phones available.
The main camera (which Apple calls the Wide camera, confusingly) has a 12MP sensor with larger 1.9m pixels on the largest sensor Apple’s ever put in a smartphone to absorb even more light, which combined with an f/1.5 aperture allows you to capture some seriously impressive low-light images, as you’ll see in the samples below.
The Ultra Wide sensor (which zooms out from the main image) has also been upgraded. The megapixel count is 12MP, which is the same as last year, but it now packs Apple’s Night Mode functionality, allowing the phone to take some breathtaking photos in near-pitch black situations, as long as you can hold the handset perfectly still for the necessary amount of time.
The Telephoto lens can now zoom in three times optically, rather than digitally, for a clearer picture. That’s a good enhancement, although optical 2x zoom might be preferred occasionally.
The zoom distance is fixed, but the iPhone’s processor cleans up the digital zoom well.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max takes better shots than previous year’s model.
Purchase it if..
- You want an iPhone with great battery life: Apple finally produced a phone with good battery life. You might be irritated that it’s taken so long – and it has – or happy that you can forget to charge your iPhone overnight without worrying.
- You need the power: Only a small subset of users will benefit from the A15 chipset’s performance, but if you’re a gamer or creative who likes to manipulate images or video, this is a fantastic phone.
- You want a camera that easily spits out great photos: The iPhone 13 Pro Max is one of the world’s top camera phones, providing crisp and vibrant photographs with an excellent auto macro option and a simple UI that gives dozens of ways to enhance your shots.
don’t purchase it If…
- You have small hands: This may seem apparent, but most people can’t stretch a thumb across this display one-handed, and it’s easy to drop. Want a little phone? Stay Away!
- You’re on a budget: The greatest iPhone costs a much each year. iOS 15 compatibility means cheaper and older Apple phones provide similar functionality.
- You hate putting a phone in a case: While we haven’t observed a scratch or dent in testing, last year’s 12 Pro Max had abrasions, so we suggest a case.

Parker 51 - Black Lustraloy Cap - Medium to Sl. Broad Nib
Stock number: 5914
Click for a larger version of this picture.
Medium to Slightly Broad nib, Aerometric fill system.
This vintage fountain pen - the Parker “51”, was launched in England by Parker in the early 50’s. Its aerodynamic design has made it a classic and the plaudits it has received over the years both in terms of design and reliability are well deserved. It has been marketed as “51…the world’s most wanted pen”. This particular example has a Black body with a metal cap in a finish Parker termed “Lustraloy” with a thin band at the cap lip above which is the “Parker” branding. It comes with a smooth Parker 51 smooth medium to slightly broad point nib that states “585 14k Parker England ”. There is a ghost of text around the barrel but it is too feint to read. Condition of both pen and cap is fair to good with some general age wear as can be seen in the montage and marks on the cap where the clip has been loose and turned in the past. This is reflected in the price. What makes this particular example stand out is the smooth Parker 51 medium to slightly broad point nib. The aerometric filling system is often termed "squeezebox" and is a very simple method of filling the pen with ink by unscrewing the barrel to expose a metal shell covering the ink sac - just press the metal bar and release up to five times and this vintage pen is ready to use. It measures 138mm with cap on and 148mm with cap on barrel end. The Parker "51" was an outstandingly popular fountain pen in its day and it remains a stylish and extremely good “work horse” today. All fountain pens are professionally serviced and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. Filling instructions will be sent with your order. A gift box is available free of charge on request at checkout where you may also select your method of payment.

Guam Guardsmen recognized for support in Djibouti
January 9, 2007
Since June 2004, members of the Guam Army National Guard have deployed to one of the newest hotspots in the war on terrorism, the Horn of Africa.
At its headquarters on Guam, a joint ceremony was held Saturday to recognize the unit’s achievements and to send off another group to support the Djibouti-based Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa.
The Joint Meritorious Unit Award was presented to 152 members of the Guam Guard’s 1st 294th Infantry Battalion Company A and 153 members of Company B who were stationed in the Horn for yearlong deployments beginning in June 2004 and March 2005, respectively.
Following the presentation, the Guard held a sendoff ceremony for 150 members of Company D, which was scheduled to depart Wednesday for three months of training at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii before relieving Company C in Ethiopia.
Among those in attendance at the ceremony was state Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Elliott, a member of Company C home on leave. He acknowledged it’s unusual for someone in his position to go on full deployment.
“I’ve been involved in the deployments of these companies and I just felt like I wouldn’t know what’s going on on the ground or I couldn’t have the sense of the honor of serving with these guys,” he said.
While the recent conflict involving Ethiopia and Somalia has raised the threat level, it has had little effect on the Guam guardsmen’s work, Elliott said.
“We don’t get into that [combat] aspect of it,” he said. “Even the stuff that we teach is … not something that they’re going to use to go out and look for the enemy. We teach them to survive on the battlefield.”
Ethiopian soldiers, tanks and warplanes intervened in Somalia on Dec. 24 to help defeat an Islamic movement that threatened to overthrow the internationally recognized government, which at the time controlled only the western town of Baidoa.
But many in predominantly Muslim Somalia resent the presence of troops from neighboring Ethiopia, which has a large Christian population.
The countries have fought two brutal wars, the last in 1977.
On Saturday, hundreds of furious Somali protesters took to the streets, burning tires and smashing car windows while denouncing the presence of Ethiopian forces and shouting defiance at the Somali government’s call for disarming Mogadishu.
Two people died in Saturday’s violence, including a 13-year-old boy.
Meanwhile, the unit’s mission has not changed, said Maj. Gen. Donald Goldhorn, adjutant of the Guam National Guard.
“The major focus is on the mil-to-mil training that we are doing,” he said. “Certainly we recognize that many of those Ethiopian soldiers that are in Somalia today … were probably trained by our Guam soldiers.”
Capt. Joe Cruz, Company D commander, was a platoon leader during his first deployment in 2004 and was honored to receive the Joint Meritorious Unit Award.
“[The award] is rather difficult to achieve,” he said, adding that the unit has been successful in part because Guam is a small community.
“The brotherhood that we have is a lot tighter because we all know each other,” Cruz said. “With the kind of camaraderie and the attitude and the culture that we come from, we bring something different to the mission when we come out there. We’re close-knit and we know how to work well together. That’s always worked to our advantage.”

“We’re pleased to give this day back to our 15,000 employees and their families.”
They will re-open for “Black Friday,” a day traditionally set aside for large discounts and slashed prices on many consumer goods.
The Mall America, by deciding to remain closed during the holiday, is taking a stand against a trend for large retailers to remain open during this universally celebrated day. Last year several chains like Wal-Mart and Target stayed open, while others remained closed, like the more upscale department store Nordstrom.
“We’ve been talking about this for months, looking at the numbers, looking at the pros and the cons,” Jill Renslow, the mall’s senior vice president of marketing and business development, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “We’re excited to give this day back to our employees so they can celebrate with their families.”


Let’s imagine you open your web browser and enter a URL to access a website. The page loads, and you see a display ad on the right-hand side advertising a hotel you recently researched for your upcoming holiday.
How did the website know that you recently viewed this particular hotel?
This is an example of retargeting, which is just one small part of a much larger entity known as the online display advertising ecosystem.
There are a few ways users can be served an ad when visiting a website or using a web application, depending on the system the website’s owner (publisher) uses. The publisher could have a direct relationship with an advertiser and agree to display the advertiser’s ad on their website for a set price and a set amount of time, they could use an ad network and sell their inventory on a cost per thousand (CPM) basis, or they could utilize a highly effective, extremely beneficial and exciting process known as Real-Time Bidding (RTB).
The introduction of RTB has completely changed the way publishers and advertisers buy and sell display advertising.
Table of Contents
The Main Components of the RTB Process
The RTB process is comprised of a number of platforms and systems within the display advertising ecosystem (e.g. ad servers, data management platforms, and third-party data providers), but for the purpose of this explanation, we are just going to focus on the relationship between the five main parties – the publisher, the supply-side platform (SSP), the ad exchange, the demand-side platform (DSP), and the advertiser.
In the context of display advertising, the publisher is the website that users visit. An example of a publisher can be something as simple as a travel blog or a news website, but can also cover web applications such as Facebook.
When a publisher decides to create a revenue stream through display advertising, they make ad space (ad slots) available on their website for potential content, known as inventory.
The Supply-Side Platform (SSP)
The supply-side platform is designed to help publishers sell their inventory on a number of different ad exchanges in an automated, secure, and efficient way. Even though publishers don’t need to use an SSP in order to sell their inventory on the ad exchange, the technology used in SSPs provides them with many benefits that allow them to receive the most yield from their inventory and gain clearer insights into their audience.
The Ad Exchange
Ad exchanges are dynamic technological platforms that facilitate the buying and selling process of available impressions between the advertisers (buyers) and the publishers (sellers) – very much like the way stock exchanges manage the buying and selling of stock between investors and companies.
The Demand-Side Platform (DSP)
The demand-side platform is the advertiser’s equivalent of the supply-side platform used by publishers. The DSP stores display ads (a.k.a creatives) that the advertisers would like to appear on websites. They also provide many additional features that benefit the advertiser.
Some examples are:
Optimized media spending and conversions:
Many DSPs use advanced technology and algorithms to target specific audiences.
Avoiding fraudulent sites
With an estimated $6 billion stolen each year from advertisers via online advertising fraud, DSPs are working hard to identify and avoid malicious sites and ones that produce fake traffic generated by bots.
More and more DSPs are providing media buyers with transparent reporting on media spend and conversions.
By receiving analytics and detailed reporting capabilities, media buyers can gain clearer insights into their campaigns and make changes to improve conversions and maximize expenditure.
At the other end of the spectrum lies the advertiser (or media buyer). Advertisers can be companies, or agencies representing a number of different companies.
Ask us anything about real-time bidding (RTB)
The Real-Time Bidding Process
The whole RTB process begins when an Internet user accesses a website or web application. Right from the get go, the publisher’s site sends a message to the supply-side platform saying there is an impression available.
The supply-side platform analyzes the information about the user (location, web history, and, if available, age, gender and any other user information) and then sends this information to the ad exchange.
Once the ad exchange receives this information, it connects to the demand-side platforms and relays information about the user. The ad exchange starts an auction, and the DSPs then bid on the impression based on what that particular impression is worth to them – determined by predefined parameters set by the advertisers. The advertiser who bids the highest amount wins, and the bid is sent back to the publisher and displayed to the user.
This whole process is repeated for every available impression on a web page every time a user accesses a website, a new page, or refreshes the page.
From Selling to Sold in Under 100 Milliseconds
One of the most remarkable facts about RTB is the speed of the auctions in the ad exchanges – each transaction takes about 100 milliseconds (a 10th of a second).
To put that into perspective, it takes about 300 milliseconds to blink.
Thought that last fact was impressive? Here are a few more interesting facts about RTB and its future:
- In 2007, the three largest ad exchanges – DoubleClick, AdECN, and RightMedia – were all bought by Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! respectively.
- It’s estimated that by 2017, more than 40% of total mobile and online display advertising will be RTB-based. (IDC)
- RTB will be the fastest growing segment of digital advertising in coming years, with global spending on RTB projected to reach $13.9b in 2016. (Ad Exchanger / IDC)

How to Reach Us
On June 1, 2015, the Board of Selectmen asked the Planning Board, Finance Committee and the Public Buildings Director to work collaboratively to create a process to develop a comprehensive long-range facilities plan, siting strategy and capital funding plan to assist the Town with making informed decisions regarding major capital projects (defined as $500,000 and above) related to future uses of municipal (Town and School) land and buildings. The plan will consider how best to use land and buildings to best serve the varied interests of the Town. This planning effort was envisioned in the original Master Plan in 2004 and in the 2011 update. It is anticipated that this effort will support the annual Capital Improvement Process (CIP) conducted in preparing the capital budget.
To begin this work, the Planning Board appointed a committee, the Wayland Real Asset Planning Committee (WRAP), to serve in an advisory capacity. Because of the collaborative nature of this work and the many entities involved, WRAP will report through the Planning Board to all boards, commissions and committees that hold responsibility for and are stewards of municipal property as well as the community as a whole.
With input from the aforementioned committees, WRAP will develop a long-range plan recommending the most appropriate uses for municipal-owned land and buildings to meet future needs, as well as to connect identified projects with suitable locations and parcels. The Committee may recommend the purchase or sale of properties that may be needed to effectuate the long-range plan.
In preparation for the 2016 Annual Town Meeting, it is anticipated that WRAP will produce a strategic long-range plan preceded by the following tasks:
- Developing an accurate GIS inventory of all Town-owned parcels identifying custodial entity, size, deed and/or land restrictions, current uses and other critical information;
- Cataloging identified and foreseeable capital facilities needs, including a needs assessment supported by empirical data and created with the Public Buildings Director and primary capital project proponent;
- Compiling the research and analyses of the planning processes of all Town boards, commissions and committees seeking a future major land or building capital expenditure (defined as $500,000 and above); and
- Recommending evaluation criteria to establish projects' priorities and sequencing.
Following the completion of these steps, WRAP will hold a community-wide forum to discuss the committee's work and findings.
Finally, the committee will produce a report recommending the sequencing of projects and making specific recommendations for future uses of municipal land and buildings. The Public Buildings Director will incorporate capital projects and items (non-vehicle) below the $500,000 threshold. This plan will then advise the Finance Committee for annual budgeting purposes beginning with the FY2017 budget, as well as Town Meeting when it considers capital requests related to town owned property and buildings.
An initial list of tools needed and some considerations to be applied in development of the long range plan is linked below. The Committee will be sensitive to the demands placed on staff time to complete its charge and will coordinate staff efforts through the Town Administrator.
The Committee shall be composed of five (5) voting members - two to be appointed by the Planning Board, two to be appointed by the Finance Committee, and one to be appointed by the Community Preservation Committee. The Town Administrator, Public Buildings Director, Finance Director and Town Planner shall serve as ex officio members without the right to vote. WRAP shall not champion any specific capital investment project All terms will expire upon the final recommendation and report of the strategic long-range plan, but no later than June 30, 2017.
To maintain neutrality, members shall not serve on any other boards, commissions or committees that control parcels of town-owned land nor those that could propose major capital projects. Appointments are to be based on related professional or vocational expertise with preference given to residents possessing experience in any one of the following areas: municipal planning, real estate development, structural or civil engineering, project management, environmental issues, municipal finance, building construction/renovations.

Mediterranean diet can ward off heart disease: study

Marsham Street’s parliament of trees
24 April 2022
They also exert political power in the way that they shape the landscape. As Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in her beautiful piece on moss for Emergence Magazine, mosses “cover the inanimate with the animate”; the same surely goes for trees. They break up the pavement and provide shelter and solidity for people to gather around, as in this photo of a London Plane at the 14th April gathering outside the Home Office building at 2 Marsham Street, protesting the government’s cruelly idiotic new refugee resettlement policy.
You’ll also see a cluster of birches on the left, close enough to the building to look like they’re guarding it—or at least screening it. Positioning makes an amazing difference: from this angle they form a parliament of Marsham Street trees, with the young sycamore across the street facing off the birches, and a column of tall, elegant London Planes keeping the peace. Or perhaps the scene’s other features—the barriers, the line of uniformed police officers, the office building’s uncompromising façade—frame everything as confrontational anyway.
Regardless, Marsham Street would look and feel harder, flatter, and more direct without its trees. They may have been put there as simple street furniture, for air quality or shade or aesthetics, but they’re now part of street life—whatever that might entail. º

Old Rochester administrator to leave school district
MATTAPOISETT — Old Rochester Regional School District Director of Student Services Craig Davidson will leave the district, announced Superintendent Mike Nelson on Friday, May 26.
Davidson was appointed on May 25 as the new Director of Special Services for the Easton Public Schools. While a departure date has not yet been determined, a transition will be discussed and agreed upon to ensure a smooth transition for both school systems.
"Davidson has provided steady leadership the past three years as our schools navigated pandemic-related challenges that we never expected," said Nelson. "Throughout the challenges and his tenure, I have appreciated Davidson's focus on not only serving our students, but advocating strongly for them."
Davidson has served as the districts' Director of Student Services since August 2020. In his position, Davidson has overseen the Student Services Office, which assists school staff in working with families to meet the unique needs of students through individualized learning programs.
"The Tri-Town community has been very special to me and I have valued the support that the families, community stakeholders and town officials have for their schools," Davidson said. "The quality of educational programming that is offered to our students is a testament to countless hours of hard work, collaboration and inspiration that our dedicated and talented staff members provide to our amazing districts. While the decision to leave this school community is difficult, my new appointment will allow for continued growth both professionally and personally closer to home and family. I wish the school community the best and many years of success to come."
In the coming weeks, Nelson, in consultation with the districts' School Committees, will determine how best to fill the vacancy Davidson's departure will create.
"I understand that this job opportunity makes sense for Davidson and his family and support his decision fully," Nelson said.

Everyone loves a basic sugar cookie. You really can’t go wrong. Sugar cookies are versatile and they’re easy to make into something special. As much as I loved all the fun and new recipes at Christmas, as a child I liked the basics. When it came to the cookie platter, I’d go for the sugar cookie almost every time.
Sugar cookies need to stand alone. They should be perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Add a little tang or vanilla punch and that’s a good place to start. These simple cookies have been my go-to cookie because you can add some different spices or flavoring to make the cookies unique such as lemon zest, cinnamon, coconut, cream of tartar, or almond flavoring. You can even add chocolate chips.
This is the recipe I use for Snickerdoodles and for a summer frosted lemon cookie. I also love dressing them up with some colored sprinkles. Make them your own by experimenting and see what your family prefers.
Happy cookie baking!
Simply Perfect Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1-3/4 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
3/4 tsp salt
Plus 1/3 cup sugar for finishing
Snickerdoodles: increase cream of tartar to 2 tsp. and add 2 tsp cinnamon to the finishing sugar
Lemon cookies: add 1 Tbsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp cream of tartar
Chocolate chip cookies: omit 1/2 cup of sugar and replace with 1/2 brown sugar; omit the cream of tartar and add 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
Cherry cookies: add 1/2 tsp red food coloring and 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 375º. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, mix butter and shortening. Add sugar and beat until creamy; about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients just until combined.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in finishing sugar. Space cookies 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges. Transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely and store in an air-tight container.

The public hearing on 2021 Appropriation Bill held at Kano State House of Assembly, Thursday, has focus on the need to include vital projects on health, Education and Agricultural sectors as well as the for construction of roads, additional teachers and health workers for better future of the state.
In his opening remarks, the Speaker Rt. Hon. Abdul’azeez Garba Gafasa (Walin Gaya) said the aimed of the occasion is to give public opportunity to presents their request for the estimate.
The Speaker, assured to use some of the demands for the development of the state.
Kano State Health Sector Working Group (KHSWG) is one of many Civil Society Coalitions that made presentation at the public hearing.
The Executive Director, Voice and Accountability Platform (VAP) and Chief Content Officer at Stallion Times, Isiyaku Ahmed made a submission on behalf of KHSWG.
In his presentation, he said: “Covid-19 pandemic met an already overstretched and weak health care system that struggles to cope with the health challenges posed by the virus.”
“This is largely attributed to the age long neglect of our health financing which make accessibility and affordability of health care services by the masses a mirage,” he added.
Ahmed also said medical tourism as well as brain drain of our best medical personnel to the oversea countries made sure that our health care system remains moribund. On the economic front, the pandemic also increase poverty in the land, thereby depriving the poorer households’ access to adequate diet which further worsened our indices on severe acute malnutrition most especially among the under-5 in the country.
These challenges, he said came to meet a health system whose funding is skewed against primary health care system which makes it more difficult for ordinary Nigerians to access health care when they are confronted with common illnesses such as malaria, typhoid, and diarrhea.
For example, studies showed that over 80% of the health needs of Nigerians can be handled at the primary health care centers but analysis of funding stream over the years showed a reversal in funds allocation where less than 20% of the funding goes to primary health care system.
“This explains the chaotic situation of our secondary and tertiary health center where people move directly to seek for care because of non-functioning primary health care system that is meant to address majority of these health needs,” he said.
He explained that the poor nutritional status of most Nigerians is a bane to our health system as weak immune system due to inadequate nutrient intake makes children more vulnerable as well as prolongs their recovery period from common illnesses. This further underscores the importance of investing in both nutrition prevention and treatment.
While malnutrition constitutes a serious setback to socio-economic development of a nation, sustainable growth in Nigeria cannot be achieved without prioritized attention to scale-up and sustain investment for nutrition.
Malnutrition by implications increases susceptibility to infection, slow recovery from illnesses, low quality breast milk; retard physical and cognitive development.
An estimated 2.5 million Nigerian children under-5 years of age suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) annually, exposing nearly 420,000 children under-5 years of age to early death from common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria (NDHIS 2018).
Ahmed therefore submitted that the N300,000,000 allocated for the IMPLEMENTATION OF UNICEF ASSISTED PROGRAMME (NUTRITION) in the 2021 appropriation bill should be reviewed upward due to increase in Severe Acute Malnutrition cases in the state as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.
“The state Assembly should increase its oversight function on MDAs to include quick releases of nutrition allocated fund and enact a law for the establishment of nutrition commission in the state.
“The Assembly should review upward fully paid maternity leave from 3 to 6 months to enhance exclusive breastfeeding practices (maternity protection, ILO 2014), he added.
More than 15 other Civil Societies Organizations and coalitions including Kano State Led Accountability Mechanism (KanSlam) made separate presentations.
The majority leader of the house, Hon. Kabiru Hassan Dashi who chaired the occasion expressed appreciation on the wonderful presentations made by civil societies organizations which described it as important.
The Chairman Standing Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abba Ibrahim Garko thanked House members and participants at the public hearing on 2021 Appropriation Bill for their maximum support and cooperation.

There are no Venetians left in Venice. And this cannot only be blamed on the tourists who overwhelm them and submerge the city just as the high tides that now and again renew widespread and well-established anxiety – a seasonal classic – for a city destined to sink and instead continues to remain cheerfully where it is (this alarm should be interpreted more as concern for the destiny of its artistic heritage than for its inhabitants).
The blame – if Venice is an ensemble of “uninhabited” treasures – lies above all with authors, journalists, cinematographers and photographers. In stories and novels set in Venice one rarely comes across its real inhabitants. Goethe mentions them only to criticise their appalling habit of emptying rubbish into the canals. There is no trace of passers-by in the Turkish writer Orhan Pamukis’ recent wanderings through the calle, in the pleasure he experiences in getting lost in the Venetian labyrinth. Some even accuse the Venetians of “hiding from the tourists, depriving them of what should be the greatest wealth in visiting a city, a relationship with its residents.” The strange thing is that the author of these “thoughts,” Spanish journalist-philosopher Víctor Gómez Pin, won an award from the Venetian Institute of Science and Art.
And what about the figurative arts? One has to go back to the landscape painters of the 18th Century to see portrayals of the Venetian people. Canaletto himself, with his portrayals of Venice, of the San Marco basin filled with ships and fishing boats, would move on to paint still life and “capricci” during his exile in London. My friend Claudio Madricardo disagrees, and reminds me of painters like Ettore Tito, Giacomo Favretto, Antonio Ermolao Paoletti.
Ok. Touché. Not so many though. And yes, there are great photographers who fill their Venetian images with locals. Of course, one must not forget the great Fulvio Roiter, the author of wonderful books filled with lively Venetians leading their daily lives, going to the market, to the boatsheds for gondolas and patronising haberdasheries. But today? The postcards that are currently sold are primarily images of corners and canals without a human being in sight. And the great events? They leave out the real city, they “use” it, and only exploit its human resources marginally.
Naturally Venice’s citizens are proud of its uniqueness. Even those who live on dry land, in spite of the fact that they claim the identity of Mestre, make in know that they are Venetian, totally Venetian, as soon as they travel the world. One even hears of people from Padua or Treviso who, when travelling, say that they “come from Venice.” And yet the Venetians know and perceive that they have been abolished. Their city still exists but they, the citizens, do not. They only seem to exist when they are elsewhere. If the accountant Mr. Tonin or Mrs. Zanin are in a railway carriage or in the waiting area of an airport, and people hear they are from Venice, they automatically become the representatives of their city. Then they are obliged to answer strange questions, such as “Do you have schools in Venice?” Then they become the magnet for the love and above all the hatred the city gives rise to. Perhaps this is because it is an enchanted place, but it is the most expensive city on the planet, filled with tourists, dirty and overrun with stalls and pigeons. The Venetians trapped in such a situation must account for the iniquities of a greedy and dishonest barman, the greedy gondolier, the excessively expensive water-bus and even the trash dropped by them, the tourists. And yet these questions reveal that there is not even the perception of a “normal” city, albeit a wonderful one, where most of those who live there do the same things as anyone else does in any other city.
Perhaps for the occasional visitor, one not necessarily distracted or naive, the Venetian remains the innkeeper, the gondolier, the hotelier, the seller of souvenirs or the barman. Someone who is in all events involved in something to do with the person’s visit. And the others? Bothersome beings getting in the way of their suitcases while they are boarding the water-bus. It is unthinkable that this should be a city with a life of its own, just like all other cities, with its inhabitants who are born, grow-up and die here keeping this city alive with their studies, their jobs, their businesses and their hobbies.
It is however true that Venetians are great grumblers, always muttering and complaining about things that do not work well (just like some of Goldoni’s characters). If one enters a bar that the locals patronise, all one hears is “ze sparìo anca l’ultimo former”, “no ti pol comprar gnanca un litro de late” [even the last bakery has vanished…it’s impossible to even buy a litre of milk] and so on. However, should a foreigner [“foresto”] say the same things, Venetians are instantly ready to defend their city saying that “no, this is not true. There are plenty of shops, it is just that you tourists do not know where they are. They are in districts you do not visit. Only we know where they are.” Then they set off to shop in Marghera, repeating on their return bus journey that there are no longer any shops. When they travel, however, there is trouble for anyone who criticises their city.
And yet Venice’s history is the glorious story of a people. This is a centuries-old story that appears to have stopped at the gateway to modernity. Modern times have left standing the city of the past and its treasures intact as in no other city. Time has slowly weakened its urban and social dimension, almost destroying it. “Veniceness” – writes the author Cesarina “Titti” Vighy – “is gold dust that miraculously rained down on Venetians in the days of the Serenissima, gold dust, that just like the one placed on the wings of captured butterflies, dissolved and vanished first with the Dominante crisis and then because of Napoleon’s betrayal. The gold dust contained pride, the desire to expand, great projects, but also an inflexible sense of justice. All qualities linked to joie de vivre, Levantine sensuality and an acerbic spirit.”
Why and how such a mutation took place is the object of a never-ending and exhausting debate. It is said that Venice has emptied out and has become a location for holiday homes, often left empty, or bed and breakfast accommodations. It is true that a significant part of the old city has moved to dry land, and it is true that the tourist economy is slowly consuming all other sectors. However, the historical centres of other Italian cities are suffering the same fate. They have emptied out and experienced a mass exodus to the suburbs. In Florence and Rome, as well in Prague, Budapest and Barcelona, there are many holiday homes owned by occasional visitors and the city centres have become an immense open air bar and restaurant. No one, however, holds forth about a moribund Florence or Rome. And even industrial cities such and Turin and Genoa, thanks to de-industrialisation, have become tertiary and tourist urban centres with their historical hearts suffering the same fate as those in Rome and Florence. Of course Venice is a ‘decentralised’ historical centre, physically separated from its suburbs, which it considers an extraneous otherness. Elsewhere this is simply experienced as a new and modern part of the city, perhaps degraded, also distant, but not different. Perhaps this is also why the 90,000 people who still live in the districts of Venice such as Murano, Burano, the Lido, Pellestrina and the other islands of the Laguna, find it hard to see themselves living in the suburbs, on terra ferma, almost as if this means living in a different city in spite of the fact that Mestre is totally part of Venice, and all referendums held to try and separate it have failed.
The Venetians who resists are many if compared, for example to the romani de’ Roma [real Romans], a city that together with Venice boasts the largest historical centre in the world, in which not even one hundred thousand people actually live. Thirty years ago there were more in Trastevere alone. Whatever anyone may say, Venetians are sticking to their guns more than their counterparts in other historical Italian cities. Instead, it is said that they are irreversibly vanishing and that those who are still there are “improbable” presences.
Of course, for those who spend the best hours of their lives locked in a metallic box, it must be impossible to perceive even the existence of a real city, one without cars, where everyone walks or uses boats. A city of houses without lifts, in the middle of a lagoon and floating on the water. Yes, there is something inexplicable and unbelievable to foreigners in the stubborn and silent attachment Venetians have for their bizarre city.
There is also something heroic about their indestructible stubbornness to keep alive a city that bad literature insists on describing as forever in agony. And there is something absurdly unfair in not acknowledging them for the very existence of Venice. The city would really not even exist were it, as people say, just a museum or even another Disneyland.
Just like all beautiful Italian cities, and perhaps even more so, Venice has an incomparable chemistry of artistic and architectural beauty that merges with the lives of its inhabitants. The art treasures are the body, the inhabitants are the soul. If Pompeii and Ostia Antica have the appeal of ancient history, Venice or Florence or Siena enchant visitors with history that continues in modern times.
Venice has more. Its history as a city on the water still exists in its inhabitants. Their relationship with the Lagoon and the sea is deep and authentic. One sees this is the innumerable boats, many of them rowing boats, moored along the canals and moving along them. There are forty-thousand boats of all kinds in the Lagoon, fifteen-thousand in Venice alone, requiring passion and devotion also during the winter. Not to mention the multitude of boats used for everything that in other cities involves cars and trucks (goods, fire fighters, police, Carabinieri, ambulances). What always amazes foresti [stangers] but also indicates the “modernity” of a city, is that Venice has been capable of integrating in itself, in its uniqueness, elements of speed and innovation that do however respect its geophysical peculiarities. Was it not Marinetti who wanted to asphalt the Lagoon so as to drive to San Marco? There is no need for this and, while Venice is characterised by an apparently slow pace, it is possible to do here all that is done elsewhere, and at times even faster.
And what about the high water phenomenon? This is a problem that sooner or later must be solved, and after lengthy controversies it seems that this will soon happen. In the meantime it really is not a problem. There are Wellington boots and shopkeepers move their good to higher shelves. It is the water that has moulded their character. It is not just an element to be dominated or to enjoy. One tends to forget that Venetians are islanders, although they have continuously been in contact with the rest of the world, a large part of which they travelled in all directions and dominated, as well as trading intensely with it for a few centuries. They have the frugal and self-effacing temperament of islanders, at times brisk and diffident. In reality the Venetian community is extremely social in a manner that no longer exists elsewhere. This is probably because this is an entirely pedestrian city and made to measure for human beings with a clearl local dimension. The district, the neighbourhood, is still extremely important in everyday life, in spite of intense internal mobility.
(drawings by Paolo Bertuzzo, “I giochi a Venezia“, Marsilio, edited by Leopoldo Pietragnoli)
Those who choose to live in Venice know that today all this is of incalculable value. And, contrary to all those prophecies of a decline, there are many Venetians who have decided to remain here and care deeply about the future of their city. They know that theirs is the city of the future, not the other cities criss-crossed by motorways and dotted with glass skyscrapers, increasingly anonymous and all inhuman. Le Corbusier believed that Venetians, “as sailors and merchants, as the creators of cities and politicians, were the precursors of modern civilisation.” In the eyes of this great architect, the division between the canal system and the pedestrian one, makes Venice a model and a prophecy for the cities of the future.
If in the future democracy comes to mean a high standard of living for the vast majority of people, in an eco-friendly and sustainable development system, then Venice will embody more than any other city that possible utopia. Industrious, far from the noise, safe, bright, benevolent and kind as only communities without cars can be, it is a paradise for children and adolescents, for everyone. These are virtues that will be precious in our future and will be even more so if the world does not decide to change, placing the environment and its protection in first position. In Venice this already exists, those who live there already experience this, when tourism allows them to. If the rest of the world follows this example all the better, if not Venice will continue to be an island where life will be a great privilege.

111 Minna Gallery is pleased to present their ‘30 Year Anniversary Exhibition’ featuring the works of 40 artists that have worked with 111 Minna Gallery since its inception in 1993!Continue reading
In a recent article by KQED, San Francisco’s iconic art gallery and event venue is vividly captured. The piece reflects on the 111 Minna’s three-decade journey, from its early days as a haven for skaters and creatives to its current status as a cornerstone of the city’s art scene. Highlighted in the article are the diverse array of artists who have found a home at 111 Minna, including names like Jeremy Fish, Sam Flores, and Lady Mags. Their work, along with others featured in the current exhibit, pays tribute to street culture and the underground communities that define San Francisco. The KQED piece beautifully encapsulates the essence of 111 Minna – a space that not only showcases art but also fosters a sense of belonging for all who walk through its doors.

Surgical removal of the affected adrenal gland(s) coupled with complete surgical excision of any abscess (if possible) or cutting a slit into a cyst and suturing the edges may be the treatment of choice. Removal of the affected adrenal gland(s) will cause a significant reduction in the size of prostatic tissue, usually within a few days. If the bladder is full of pus, surgery may be indicated to remove accumulated material. Medications may be enough to achieve these results; however, surgical removal of prostatic abscesses is still necessary.
Living and Management
The prognosis is poor when large prostatic abscesses are found because complete removal may be difficult and the response to antibiotic therapy is variable. Your veterinarian will want to monitor for signs of peritonitis, such as fever, anorexia, lethargy, and abdominal distension. Following unilateral adrenalectomy or subtotal adrenalectomy (removal of one or both glands that rest above the kidney), he or she will want to monitor for return of clinical signs because tumor recurrence and subsequent prostatic disease is common. An ultrasound at two- to four-week intervals after adrenalectomy may be used to follow resolution of abscesses.

aside, colas and ice-creams - Saint Gobain's Sun Ban glass is here to keep people 'cool' this summer.
Believe it or not, Saint Gobain, the glass brand which entered India more than a decade ago, recently launched Sun Ban, a solar control glass, which not only reduces the amount of sunlight that enters homes through windows, but also cuts down on the heat transmitted.
"We came up with the name Sun Ban to make it generic to solar control glass - a relatively newer, under-advertised category in India," says Dinesh Kumar, marketing manager, Saint Gobain Glass. In India, AIS and Modiguard are among the few brands that offer solar control glass.
The advertisement opens on the shot of an old man resting on his sofa, quite uncomfortable in the heat that is coming in from the open window. He begins to remove his vest because it is too hot. On seeing this, his wife who is working in the kitchen, reprimands him for doing so in front of the open window where anyone can see him. The old man is obviously too disturbed by the heat to pay heed to his wife's argument and continues to take off his vest. To save themselves from embarrassment, the old lady goes and closes the window. On turning back, she is shocked to see that her husband has not only put on more clothes, but is now shivering with cold (thanks to the heat being cut off by the window glass). As the old lady stares at the glass, the voiceover says, 'Cuts the heat. Keeps you cool: Sun Ban Reflective Glass from Saint Gobain'. (Submit your opinion on this ad.)
According to Deepa Geethakrishnan, group creative director, Lowe, the usability and practicality of the product was of prime importance in this ad. The old couple angle was used to add charm to the subtle exaggeration. "Old couples have a very different sort of chemistry," she explains. "At some level, they are almost indifferent to what one person says to the other, and yet there is a beautiful bond that keeps them together."
Another ad in the campaign has a Japanese girl who keeps fanning herself, making it impossible for a still photographer to click her photograph until Sun Ban comes to their relief. A third film in the series is under way.
The product targets SEC AB, males, 25+ (as men tend to lead decisions on building/ construction items). The ad targets both direct consumers and builders.
The ad has been created by R Balakrishnan (chairman and chief creative officer, Lowe), Kevin d'Souza (senior vice-president), Vijay Xavier (associate V-P) and Sujith Sarkar (brand services director), apart from Geethekrishnan. The ad has been produced by MAD Films and directed by Francouise. The films were shot in Mumbai.
Due to the nature of the product, summer was selected as the perfect time for launching this communication.
"Our success in our previous TVCs prompted us to use television as our primary medium this time again," says R Subramanian, director, sales and marketing, Saint Gobain Glass India.
For the record, French company Saint Gobain has created around eight television adverts ever since it entered India. Memorable ones include those for its transparent glass (the waiter 'Ha!' ad, and the ad featuring a lady throwing cleaning water on the glass outside a restaurant, only to have the men inside flinch), and those for its mirrors, which showcased clarity of reflection (the ad in which a small boy entering a men's toilet pisses on the reflection of the toilet, instead of the real thing).

10 Best Games for Kids – Learning Drives . Beginning healthy habits from an early stage will allow your child to have a long and healthy life. However, getting the recommended servings of each food category recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics every day is difficult. In the case of a fussy or interested eater, these games for children can be great ways to help them learn and enjoy. Inspire your kids to play with different foods, flavors as well as colors and textures.
The aim is to get your children to consume at least five portions of fruits and veggies per day, in a fun and enjoyable manner. Take a look at these games for nutrition for kids to begin today with common household items as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.
1. Letter of the Day/Week Theme
You can incorporate the letter you’re studying in school into your subject at home. If the letter for this day has the letter “A,” find different ways that you and your child can enjoy apples, such as applesauce, roasted apples Apple chips and apple butter sauteed apples, Apples with peanut butter apple with yogurt and granola.
3. Name the Food
Take a piece of fabric and place some vegetables and fruits in a plastic bag. Then, bring your children over to the table. Blindfold them and then have them figure out the ingredients of the food by using their senses, such as feeling or smelling it, and then tasting it. We’re certain this will result in laughter!
4. Food Faces
Children are fascinated by playing around with food. Therefore, let them! This is one method to make them want to taste and try new foods. Show a variety of dishes and then let them make use of all the ingredients in order to make the most ridiculous appearance.
5. Food Painting
It’s likely to get messy, but that’s okay! Mix vibrantly colored juices to plain yogurt. Let your children paint with their fingers on paper, or in the high chair, or even the bathtub to make cleanup easy.
6. Edible Game Pieces
Cover a game of board like checkers or tic-tac toe with plastic wrap and use fruits crackers, cereal, or crackers as game pieces. If a player is able to jump the piece, they can take it home to eat.
7. Create Little People
We are sure that your child will enjoy making a mini fruit or veggie guy. Play with their imagination with bowls of chopped and whole vegetables and fruits. Use toothpicks to help hold them in place. When they’re done eating, allow them to enjoy their creations, or keep the leftovers for dinner or lunch. Bonus: Make it even more tasty and enjoyable by giving “swimming pool” bowls of dip sauce. Sauces could include salad dressings, yogurt or even yogurt.
8. Dig Deep
Enhance your child’s understanding by explaining the origins of their food. If you’re stuck at home online tours can be the ideal alternative. A good place to start is https://www.farmfood360.ca. The children can learn about milk , eggs, cheese, grains and much more.
9. Sensory Taste Game
Learn a bit with the child how to use their sense of taste. One good video to begin by watching can be the How your Tongue Functions. You can then grab an empty muffin tin and make each hole a food container that fall into the salty, sour sweet, spicy, and bitter sections. The goal for the players is to test and discuss the different flavors. This is a fantastic method to inspire adventurous eaters. It is also a great way to discuss food at the table.
10. Start a Victory Garden
Don’t throw away or discard the vegetable scraps you have. In the event that you slice them proper way, they’ll grow effortlessly in a small bowl of water. The lettuce’s bottom stump onions as well as celery, garlic as well as bok choy and ginger, lemongrass and potatoes will quickly grow.
Certain herbs are able to grow back from their stems, like basil, cilantro rosemary, lemon balm. For tops of vegetables you can replant pineapples and carrots. After they have rooted, you can transplant them into pots. Bring them out to your children every day to observe how they’ve grown, and also to examine their water. Within a short time, you’ll be able to have an enviable garden.
