We are reminded of a couple of expressions lately. First, "What goes around comes around." Second, "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
What drives this thinking is that an old "friend" has come back to visit, namely the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, sort of an analytical Rosetta Stone promoted by the Supply Chain Council (SCC) as a highly flexible tool to compare, link, and provide a standardised system for supply chains across a breadth of disparate industries and project sizes.
We first wrote in this space about the SCOR Model more than 10 years ago; indeed, we are unabashedly stealing from that earlier piece now. Even then, it was a well-established reference in the supply chain management world, and the SCC has since gone from strength to strength. We are finding lately that it is finally getting an even better grip in this part of the world, especially in China. Perhaps it is time for the same in Thailand?
The SCOR model uses a simple "building block" approach and a common set of definitions so that, regardless of the complexity of the supply chain being analysed, the model can be used to describe and provide a basis for supply chain improvement.
This is a business process reference model that has been developed to describe the activities associated with all phases of satisfying customer demand. It links process elements, metrics, best practices and the features associated with the execution of a supply chain in a unique format.
The SCOR model contains seven basic sections consisting of the five primary management processes _ Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return _ together with an Introduction and a Glossary. For modelling purposes, Make and Return are further subdivided. Make focuses on three environments _ Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order, and Engineer-to-Order. Return is documented in two locations _ Source and Deliver. Return processes that connect an organisation with its supplier (i.e., the return of raw materials) are documented as Source Return activities. Processes that connect an organisation with its customer (i.e. the receipt of returned finished goods) are Deliver Return activities.
This preserves the concept that Source connects an organisation with its suppliers and Deliver connects an organisation with its customers. The Plan and Execution (Source, Make, Deliver, Return) sections are the heart of the model, while the Glossary lists of the standard process and metrics terms that are used.
Besides the five basic management processes (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return), it is useful to distinguish between the three process types in the model: plan, execute, and enable.
Planning processes balance aggregated demand across a consistent planning horizon, generally occurring at regular intervals, and can contribute to supply chain response time. For example, a planning element is a process that aligns expected resources to meet expected demand requirements. Execution processes are triggered by planned or actual demand that changes the state of products. They include scheduling and sequencing, transforming materials and services, and moving products. Enable processes prepare, maintain, and manage information or relationships on which planning and execution processes rely.
The scope of input for the model is limited to three main types of activity:
Fcustomer interactions (order entry through paid invoice);
Fall physical material transactions (supplier's supplier to customer's customer, including equipment, supplies, spare parts, bulk product, and software), and
Fall market interactions (from understanding aggregate demand to fulfilling each order).
It does not attempt to describe all business processes or activities across an organisation; specifically, the model does not address sales and marketing (demand generation), product development, R&D, and some elements of post-delivery customer support. We are pleased to observe, though, that the SCC has now ventured somewhat into the areas of product design and sales & support.
The model is silent in the areas of human resources, training, and quality assurance, among others. The SCC believes these horizontal activities are implicit in the model and there are other highly qualified organisations that deal with them.
The scope of the model has changed since its introduction and is anticipated to continue to evolve based on Council members' requirements. For example, the original versions did not include the Return process but now, with its introduction, the model has been extended into post-delivery customer support, although it does not yet include all activities in that area.
The model is designed and maintained to support supply chains of various complexities and across multiple industries. The Council has focused on three process levels but does not attempt to prescribe how a particular organisation should conduct its business or tailor its systems and information flow. Every organisation that makes supply chain improvements using the SCOR model will need to extend it at least to Level 4, using organisation-specific processes, systems and practices.
As we said, SCOR is an old friend in our work, a tried and a true standard that is certainly standing the test of time as well as evolving very nicely, thanks to the Supply Chain Council. Wonderfully detailed references are easily found online.
The Link is coordinated by Barry Elliott and Chris Catto-Smith CMC of the Institute of Management Consultants Thailand. It is intended to be an interactive forum for industry professionals; we welcome all input, questions, feedback and news at: firstname.lastname@example.org

What is Johrei?
It is an inexhaustible source of Light, liberated by God to the universe that can be channeled through the palm of the hand, constituting a method of treatment of the New Era. Johrei brings, as result, the cure of all the physical and spiritual diseases, creating like this a peace world and prosperity. Actually, it will be, in the new millennium, a powerful renovating source of energy of the humanity’s life.
This work contains here is in its essence Meishu Sama’s basic Teachings on Johrei, It is not one more text for reading, but especially as a resource, placed to the disposition of all, seeking to help them during the suffering periods.
In that way, each one can accomplish your own experience. Trying to channel the Light of God through the hands, it will have opportunity to try the extraordinary and positive effects of such powerful energy.
On the other hand, each reader, when verifying the power of Johrei, will have opportunity to transmit to the friends and family the results of the own researches, as well as your personal conclusions.
The Hand that eliminates the suffering of the World!
On June 22, 1952, the Editor-boss of an important French newspaper accomplished an interview regarding the mission what Meishu Sama was devoted in the Earth.
On that occasion, the journalist wanted to photograph Meishu Sama’s hand for, later, to publish it under the title: The hand that eliminates the suffering of the World.
Having received the Master’s ok immediately, the picture was made. Actually, with that permission, Meishu Sama was manifesting the desire that one more channel of Light was offered to who looks for the way of the truth.
It was with the intention of turning public that special will of Meishu Sama that the picture was placed, in this book, illustrating the book cover.

B_Tour: Recoding Recording
Guided tours as an artistic strategy in contemporary performance, sound and visual art
From city-wide b_tour brochure:
"This tour will put people to the task of listening to a part of the city and "moving" the sound to another part of Berlin. We will begin in the Grunewald Forest at a site high above the city (120,1m), where the German citizens piled debris from Berlin's bombing in WWII to build an artificial mountain. We'll hike to the highest point in the forest, later used as a listening post by the NSA and GCHQ. This is Teufelsberg, Devil's Mountain, where now there are blends of natural sounds punctuated by the 'voices' of birds, insects, wind, distant train. We will don Sound Cone Helmets consisting of large ear cones that localize sound. We will sort through the swarms of sounds and pick out specifics. As a group, we will decide on our respective parts and will imitate these sounds with only our mouth, hands or feet, and begin to rehearse how to "playback" the sound of this place. We are essentially RECORDING the city by ear and replaying it using our bodies. As a newly born city choir, we will walk thru the forest still individually rehearsing our parts and proceed to carry the sound to the towers of Teufelsberg. We regroup there, arrange ourselves in the same way as we rehearsed, and "replay" the sound in the domes of this reverberant place. From here, we keep the choir going, retracing our steps all the way to the UBahn and exit at the Moabiter Brücke, one of the most beautiful bridges in the center of Berlin where we deliver the sound back into the Spree River... sending the sound out to sail throughout Berlin and into the North Sea."

I suspect that, like me, you all are probably reading a lot headlines about Bill and Melinda Gates in the wake of their divorce announcement. The most recent one I read was in the WSJ about a sexual relationship Bill Gates had many years ago w a Microsoft employee. A spokesperson for Gates said, “There was an affair almost 20 years ago which ended amicably.”
As soon as I read this headline, I thought about all the people who will hone in on this event in the Gates’ marriage and imagine a gotcha moment as in, “Ha! That’s why Melinda Gates filed for divorce! Her husband is a philanderer!”
What you will never hear about are the circumstances that surround an affair, particularly when men are the ones who have it. If a woman has an affair, it’s because she’s been wronged in some way. But if a man has it, he’s just a bad man or a bad husband.
I’d like to challenge that narrative by telling the truth about why good men stray.
IN THIS EPISODE:
2:40 Suzanne reads an email from a listener about affairs and the rationale behind it
5:00 The idea of remaining attractive, pleasant and kind with one’s husband is oftentimes met with resistance due to life stresses, etc.
6:00 The idea that you can succumb to those pressures and become someone totally different from the person your spouse dated is unfair
7:00 For the average marriage, you can start to behave the way you did when you were dating and get those feelings back pretty quickly
8:30 The idea that you can starve a man sexually and expect him to remain faithful is ridiculous and immature
8:50 It isn’t just about sex—millions of husbands are starving from affection from their wives, which is almost more significant than sex
11:20 A lot of women wait for the “feeling” to envelope them before they act. Sometimes, it takes the act to get the feeling
13:00 On all of Suzanne’s intake forms for coaching, when men answer questions it has to do with the lack of sex and affection
16:45 Not having sex with your husband is cruel

TROY, Michigan (September 14th, 2011) – For the second year in a row, Multimatic’s technical expertise in the area of applied composites research and development received the top award for a paper at the SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition.
Dr. Hannes Fuchs submitted his paper titled “Automotive Composites Consortium Underbody Component & Assembly Structural Test-Analysis Correlation”, which received the highest score of all submissions and further strengthened Dr. Fuchs’ and Multimatic’s reputations as being world leaders in advanced composites research and development.
Dr. Fuchs presented his paper in the “Finalizing the Design & Development of a Structural Composite Underbody” session at the SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition on September 14th, 2011. The paper discussed preparation and fabrication of underbody test assemblies for USCAR’s multi-year study on the feasibility of a structural composite underbody for a mid-size car. Discussion centered on structural stiffness and modal performance testing of trimmed underbody molded components and assemblies, and the destructive testing of said assemblies. The predicted performance was investigated for two composite thickness assumptions to account for the additional thickness observed in the prototype components. Predictions were then compared to measured test results to understand the status of correlation between the response of idealized components and the as-molded prototype test components. Predictions were found to be in good agreement with testing.
Dr. Fuchs, who also won an SPE ACCE Best Paper Award in 2010, has 19 years of experience in advanced engineering and R&D of composite and lightweight structures. He came to the automotive industry from the NASA-Virginia Tech Composites Program and from post-doctoral research activities at the NASA Langley Research Center. Initially joining then General Motors Corp.’s Research & Development department, Dr. Fuchs conducted research on advanced lightweight and crashworthy carbon composite automotive structures. After six years, he joined Multimatic where he has managed and directed engineering activities including design engineering, computer-aided engineering, prototype and production manufacture, tooling, and testing of a wide range of advanced and composite structures. He is recognized as an industry expert in the design and application of lightweight structures and materials. Dr. Fuchs holds BSME and MSME degrees from the University of Maryland and a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.

Mayor Nutter signed a bill putting the question on the next ballot.READ MORE: 6 Dead, 30 Wounded In Shooting At Chicago-Area July 4 Parade; Person Of Interest In Custody: Police
There is a mayor’s commission on African-American males that Nutter established in his second term to study what makes the group disproportionately suffer from violence, unemployment and dislocation, and to offer solutions.
But with a new mayor coming in, Nutter supported making the commission permanent.

Letna Park, Prague
Categories: Nature & Parks
Ride the oldest carousel in Europe at Letna Park, and then look for the marble pedestal with a metronome that used to be the base of a large statue of Stalin. Another notable features is a cast-iron pavilion in Neo-Baroque style built for the 1891 World Fair. The park, built on a plateau above steep riverbanks, offers commanding views of the old town. Look for a plain next to the park; that's where people demonstrated against the communist government during the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Stop for a drink at the beer garden, a shady area with lots of picnic tables and a small playground.

Here are some of the bills that will cost taxpayers money if they are signed into law by the governor:
*PENSION TAX: Retirees age 65 and older are entitled to a $12,000 deduction on their income taxes; retirees 62 to 64 get $6,000. Last year, the Assembly approved more generous tax breaks for retirees as young as 55.
*TAX CREDIT: A $22.50 credit for low- and moderate-income Virginians will be repealed.
*LIQUOR: Five percent would be added to liquor prices at ABC stores. The price of a $10 bottle of liquor would go up by 50 cents, for example.
*CAR INSPECTIONS: Price would go up from $6 to $10 to cover mechanics' rising costs.
*CAR REGISTRATION: Fee would increase from $25 to $26, with the extra dollar going to state and local emergency medical service agencies and rescue squads.
*MOTORBOATS: Registration fees for motorboats less than 16 feet long would increase from $11 to $18, with higher fees for larger boats. The money would be used to enforce boating laws.
*WATERCRAFT: The maximum tax for the sale of any watercraft would double from $1,000 to $2,000.
*FINES: Maximum for various classes of misdemeanors that now range from $100 to $1,000 would increase to $250 to $2,500.
*CRIMINAL AND TRAFFIC FINES: Would be increased $2 with the money going to a drug law enforcement fund to be administered by the governor.

The newest member in our team against evil in the world is robot “MM7”. In order to fully function he needs to understand how emotions work. It is up to us to help MM7 decipher the complex and puzzling ways of love.
The bulk of the game is a 19-page pdf to print out and cut up before the game clock begins. Once ready, access the web client to start the timer and story. Puzzles are solved using the papers, and answers are inputted into the website.
There’s also a feature that lets you hide little personal messages throughout the game.
Hivemind Review Scale
Andrew Reynolds’ Reaction
As soon as I viewed the printable material for Mechanics of the Heart, I was taken in by the art style – cartoonish and charming, detailed but not distracting. This is an interesting game to look at, and I had an enjoyable experience playing it. There was a broad spectrum of puzzle difficulty, from “Is that really it?” to “We really need a hint on this.” Most puzzles wound up in that pleasant middle ground where a few minutes of tinkering around leads to an aha moment. Only one puzzle didn’t really work as we interpreted the cluing, but a look at the progressive hint system cleared us up.
The printable material is pure puzzle, and a website is used to view the story and input answers. The story was cute, and I immediately felt an attachment to our guide. I appreciate that there were multiple ways of inputting answers, and we weren’t required to just type in a text string. Overall, an enjoyable game, but I’m not convinced I’ll be running to play the next game Print + Cut + Escape releases.
Theresa W’s Reaction
Mechanics of the Heart really capitalized on what clueQuest does well – creating dynamic games on simple, black and white printed pages of paper. While this game was not a direct follow-up to any of their previous games, the Easter eggs scattered throughout are always so cute when you notice them. The creators really capitalized on the humor in this iteration, making the interactions goofy and story-enhancing. Of note, this game had way less cutting than any of the others, yet they were still able to create some really unique interactions in the little cutting you did need. This Print + Cut + Escape is a bit easier than their previous game (Prison of Memories), but still took our experienced team around an hour.
Cindi S’ Reaction
Mechanics of the Heart is a romance-themed print-and-cut game for two players. Before you start, the step-by-step instructions tell you to print everything out, cut where indicated, and stack the pages by sections. It was very easy and organized. There’s an online component that moves the narrative along, supporting the romance aspect, which is an unusual theme in this type of game. There’s even an option to add personalization, which was a nice surprise for the other player, but did not blend that well into the rest of the game. The puzzles were a mixed bag; some were good, some really easy, and others were so confusing that we didn’t understand them even after going through the hints and studying the solution. It’s unfortunate when good presentation is paired with uneven puzzles, but maybe another of clueQuest’s Print + Cut + Escape games offers a better balance between the two.
Joel Smileypeacefun Reaction
In this print-and-cut game of love, you need to be a matchmaker and help a robot to understand how emotions work.
At its best, compared to their previous games they scaled down the printing and cutting to a minimum. After I criticized the puzzles in their last game for being unpolished, I’m happy to report that this time the puzzles all made sense and were satisfying to solve.
At its worst, this game is lacking in storytelling and cutscenes, which usually is a strength of the Print + Cut + Escape games. Although there is a bonus feature where you can personalize your experience, it fell a bit short because there wasn’t much impact. Additionally, maybe 1-2 more layered puzzles would turn this good game into a great game.
It’s not their most difficult experience but still, I had a lovely time playing.
Matthew Stein’s Reaction
clueQuest never disappoints, and Mechanics of the Heart is a more beginner-friendly print-and-play adventure which is just as clever, creative, and polished as clueQuest’s more challenging offerings. Highlights of the game include:
- clueQuest’s distinctive art style is eye-catching and full of sneaky allusions to characters and elements within their narrative universe.
- The online interface is top-notch and user-friendly. Answer inputs were the most streamlined I’ve seen yet among their games, and I greatly enjoyed the animations and written dialogue which drove forward a simple but amusing story.
- The puzzles all have a good balance of aha and process, with elements that are parallelizable among teammates. Compared to clueQuest’s other Print + Cut + Escape games, this one has relatively little cutting, and the pieces that require prep are used very effectively.
This is a perfect Valentine’s Day game for partners or friends, and it’ll be a fun hour-ish for both novice and more experienced puzzlers.
Disclosure: clueQuest provided the Hivemind reviewers with a complimentary play.

Say a silent prayer for ``Grandma,'' who's no longer with us.
Gone to that tire dealership in the great beyond-sent there by a group of Big O Tires Inc. franchisees.
Led by dealer Mark Buker and several other Big O store owners, the group has entered into agreements to purchase nine retail stores-including one combination commercial/retail outlet-in the Salt Lake City area that were previously operated as Grandma's Tires locations by Dick Morrison Tire Co. The deal was finalized April 30 and the transfer of locations is under way and should be completed by May 15, Big O President John Adams told Tire Business.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
However, Craig Morrison, president of the company, said Mr. Buker and the group have acquired the hard assets, inventory, equipment, cash and receivables, and have agreed to purchase the real estate in time. Of the nine stores, Morrison Tire owned the ground under five of them.
With the acquisition, Morrison Tire will quietly slip out of existence. The dealership, which marks its 70th anniversary this year, is owned by Mr. Morrison and his dad Robert, who turned 74 on May 9. The only piece of the puzzle left for the Morrisons is a 10th store the company operates in Provo, Utah. It is negotiating its sale with a local tire dealer.
In addition to the nine just-acquired stores-which spanned an area from Ogden, Utah, in the north through Salt Lake City to Provo in the south-Morrison Tire also included a wholesale operation centered at the company's Salt Lake warehouse, where the commercial/retail site is located. The 45-year-old, 55,000-sq.-ft. distribution center and real estate was purchased by Big O and its Memphis, Tenn.-based parent, TBC Corp.
Besides Mr. Buker, who will take over three Grandma's locations, Ken Gubler, a Big O franchisee in Bountiful, Utah, will assume operation of two stores.
The remaining four stores will be split among a group of some eight franchisees who, with Mr. Buker and Mr. Gubler, already operate nine stores, Mr. Adams said, noting, ``they're now in the process of swapping out inventory.'' The plan was to take over three stores per week until all eventually fly the Big O flag.
Until about a year ago when they all became Grandma's Tires locations, some of the Morrison stores carried the Carmerica banner under a program that was operated by Hercules Tire & Rubber Co.
Milo Paskett, controller for Morrison Tire, told Tire Business 19 employees-including warehouse, delivery and accounting department personnel-work in the warehouse. But neither he nor Mr. Morrison knew how many might stay on once the transfer of Morrison's wholesale operation to TBC/Big O takes place May 31.
That operation-which accounted for approximately half of Morrison Tire's annual sales of about $15 million, according to Mr. Morrison-services some 550 accounts in Utah, northern Nevada and areas of Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho. He said ``Big O and we are assuring our wholesale customers that life will go on, and they'll continue to be supplied.''
All told, 60 percent of Morrison Tire's business was in wholesaling, with retailing accounting for 30 percent and the remainder in commercial.
The obvious question, of course: Why sell the dealership?
``The old man and I have been running this operation for some years now,'' replied Mr. Morrison, who initially had envisioned someone other than Big O buying Morrison Tire. ``I entered the business during the Carter administration. Without any clear successors, let's say I've been positioning the company for sale for some time now. All I needed was for someone to knock on the door and ask the pertinent question.''
That happened back in January, when Mr. Buker came knocking.
Mr. Morrison called him ``a legendary Big O franchisee who, I understand, has the No. 1 Big O store in the country. He does about the same in his two stores as I do in my 10. So it's time for the amateurs to get out of the way and let the professionals take over!''
While Craig Morrison has signed a no-compete clause, he admitted he's positive he will not re-enter the tire business again. ``My wife informed me that I'm her love slave, and that I need to spend the next few months fixing the house and watching the kids. I've avoided both for a number of years,'' he joked.
His dad, on the other hand, has offered his services to Mr. Buker.
``I can't run away fast enough,'' Craig Morrison said, ``but this has been his baby for 60 years. It's in his blood.''
Founded by Craig's grandfather, Dick Morrison, in 1932, the dealership originally started out as a fledgling tire shop with a hand in the auto salvaging business. That is, until it discovered recapping, he said, ``which put us on the map.'' His father has run the operation since 1954, after his granddad died.
Today, the home state of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is fast becoming a tire retailer battleground. Big O christened its 500th store overall-and its first in Salt Lake-last December. With the addition of the Morrison stores, the company now has more than 50 outlets in Utah, but there's someone else knocking on the door.
``It makes sense to me that Big O is looking at the 800-pound gorilla to the Northwest,'' Mr. Morrison said, referring to Prineville, Ore.-based Les Schwab Tire Centers Inc., which arrived in the Salt Lake market last year with two stores and promises of more to come.
Along with Schwab, Englewood-based Big O is one of the largest independent retail tire and auto service franchisers in North America. The company operates more than 500 stores, primarily in the West and Midwest, and also distributes tires and other automotive service products to associated dealers in western Canada. In addition to its own Big O private label, franchisees and company-owned Big O outlets also handle major brands including Michelin, BFGoodrich and Goodyear.
``This positions us well, from an investment standpoint, because we now have (Morrison Tire's) customers,'' Mr. Adams said, as well as a bigger stake in the Salt Lake market.
In a prepared statement, he said Big O is ``gratified that this group of franchisees wanted to increase their investment in Big O through this acquisition.'' And Mr. Buker said the franchisee group appreciates ``the opportunity afforded us by Robert and Craig Morrison to service their customer base. While we have competed against each other for 40 years, we are happy that they chose Big O Tires to continue the fine service provided to their customers.
``All of the Big O franchisees look forward to the opportunity of meeting these customers and continuing the service and warranties. In addition, we welcome the Morrison employees to the Big O family of associates and look forward to working with these fine people.''
While for the past two years Big O has had a program it calls ``Knockout,'' which encourages franchisees to acquire competitors if the situation presents itself, ``we've never had quite a response like this'' with such a large number of franchisees, Mr. Adams said.
What typically happens, he explained, is a tire retailer planning to retire perhaps has no one to take over his stores. A Big O dealer may be ripe to step in and acquire the business. The Knockout program provides some incentives to the franchisee, such as financial help in order to make capital improvements to the properties.
The deal apparently was a knockout for Craig Morrison. Presented the opportunity to offer a ``parting shot,'' he didn't even have to think long about it: ``I am a happy man!'' he said gleefully.
As for that unique dealership name that now fades to black...back in 1974, when the company entered the retail business, Bob Morrison was looking for something that instilled trust. And who doesn't trust their Grandma? Unless of course she's Ma Barker.

The District is close to an agreement with a private developer to revitalize a long-vacant public property on the border of the booming U Street and Shaw neighborhoods in Northwest.
Though the details of the deal are still under negotiation, Community Three Development proposed in 2014 to transform the property into a new home for the African American Civil War Museum, offices for the Silver Spring-based Torti Gallas architecture firm, space for a nonprofit arts group, retail space and townhouses.
A new mixed-use development could generate $9.2 million in taxes for the District over 10 years by removing the Grimke School parcel from the city’s untaxed real estate portfolio, according to real estate staffers in the administration of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D). The site includes the school at 1923 Vermont Ave. NW, an adjoining gymnasium and a nearby surface parking lot. The building dates to 1887.
“We are committed to getting a deal done as quickly as possible,” said Grant Epstein, president of Community Three Development.
This is the third time Community Three has vied for the right to redevelop the Grimke site.
The project hit snags in two mayoral transitions, from Mayor Adrian Fenty to Mayor Vincent Gray in 2011 and then from Gray to Bowser in 2015.
Fenty’s administration requested redevelopment proposals in 2009 but never selected a winner. Gray put out a new request and selected Roadside Development to create a residential and commercial project in 2014. But a formal deal was never signed before Bowser took office, and she insisted any new project meet tougher requirements for including affordable housing, bumping up the portion from 10 percent to 30 percent.
In 2015, Roadside agreed, and the city agreed to hand over the property in February 2016. But by December, the deal had fallen apart.
Roadside’s Richard Lake said that his team found conditions worse on the property than they had anticipated and that their plans to accommodate nonprofits and affordable housing made the project financially difficult.
“There was not enough meat on the bone to pay for unknowns,” Lake said.
The city began discussions with Community Three, the runner-up to Roadside, “immediately” after the deal with Roadside fell apart, according to Joaquin McPeek, director of communications for Brian T. Kenner, deputy mayor for planning and economic development.
“The District is moving forward with a sense of urgency to get as good a deal, if not a better deal,” McPeek said.
The historic building’s location at the edge of U Street once placed it on the frontier of development.
While the Grimke School sat vacant, Shaw exploded around it as new luxury condominiums and apartments opened and retailers such as Warby Parker and Glen’s Garden Market opened their doors.
Neighbors are eager to see something happen at the site.
“We don’t even care what’s developed there now,” said Robb Hudson of the local Advisory Neighborhood Commission.
“We see just developing the school and getting a building in the parcel beside Nellie’s [Sports Bar] as a benefit to the community in and of itself,” Hudson added.
McPeek said that if the sides come to an agreement, Community Three will not take ownership until the fall. The project would then need to go through Zoning Commission review. The realization of any plans is still years away.
“I know that everybody has wanted this to get off the ground for years, including us,” Epstein said. “But it needs to take its course and be done the right way.”
Absent a deal with Community Three by the end of March, the District will put the cluster of properties through a third round of redevelopment requests. The project would be added to the roster for “March Madness,” when the city offers up lists of city-owned properties primed for redevelopment.
Another round of redevelopment talks would leave neighbors such as longtime Vermont Avenue resident Mardicia Nana frustrated.
“It looks like a haunted house,” Nana said about the Grimke School. “Someone by now should have occupied it.”

HomeServe sees rise in boiler cover sales and claims as Customers turn up the heat as temperature drops
Posted 15 September 2015 2:44 PM by John Greaves
After the coldest August for three years, and the temperature beginning to drop in the last two weeks, a leading home assistance company, HomeServe, has reported a sharp uplift in online boiler cover product sales and seen gas claims double as people across the UK begin to turn their central heating on.
With a weather forecaster reporting the possibility that the UK could experience its coldest winter for over 50 years, and the MET office advising temperatures could drop below average as we head into October, now is the perfect time to check your gas heating and that you are prepared for any emergencies that might arise.
Research carried out in 2013 by HomeServe shows that UK homes have to work hard during the big chill as we are a nation of warm home lovers, with nearly one in three householders (36%) having their house at a balmy 25 degrees or more, with one in 20 of us (5%) basking in a tropical 30 degrees – 10 degrees higher than the recommended 18-21°C.&sup
Greg Reed, Chief Marketing Officer, HomeServe, said; “We all love our homes to be warm and cosy, and with colder temperatures being predicted, the last thing anyone needs is to be without heating and face the expense of repairs if something goes wrong.
“We want to make our Customers’ lives easier and as well as recruiting more engineers ahead of winter, we also have a range of offers available and have enhanced other services to help make sure homes can stay warm and our Customers can enjoy peace of mind during the colder winter months.”
As well as a range of insurance cover available through HomeServe, the company has also enhanced its ‘On Demand’ service, which charges a fixed fee for home emergencies where Customers do not have a policy.
The service now includes ‘Fix It, Cover It’, which offers the Customer the chance to spread the cost of any On Demand job as well as a insurance cover for 12 months, providing an affordable alternative with the peace of mind a policy can bring. Terms & Conditions apply – find out more online.
The cold and wet weather can also play havoc with your home’s pipes and drains so with the predicted chilly and rainy temperatures ahead, HomeServe’s offer of its Plumbing & Drainage Plus cover could be timely. Customers can snap up this cover for just 75p per month in the first year (terms & conditions apply) with £0 excess (£9 annual price) until 31st October 2015.
The policy is for homeowners who live in a house or bungalow, and covers blocked drains, water supply pipe and leaks with some exclusion. See HomeServe’s website for full information.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/12/2008
Publication Date: 2/1/2009
Citation: Callaway, T.R., Carr, M.A., Edrington, T.S., Anderson, R.C., Nisbet, D.J. 2009. Diet, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and cattle: A review after 10 years. Current Issues in Intestinal Microbiology. 11:67-80.
Interpretive Summary: Escherichia coli are commonly found in the gut of cattle and can include E. coli O157:H7 and other foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Research has shown that cattle fed high-grain rations contain higher E. coli populations than do cattle fed a forage-based diet. Further studies have demonstrated a linkage between tannin and phenolic compounds found in forages and E. coli populations. Collectively results indicated that diet can impact populations of E. coli in th,e feces of cattle and can impact the dangerous E. coli such as O157:H7 and other Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC).
Technical Abstract: Escherichia coli are commensal bacteria that can account for up to 1% of the bacterial population of the gut. Ruminant animals are reservoirs of the pathogenic bacteria E. coli O157:H7, and approximately 30% of feedlot cattle shed E. coli O157:H7. Feedlot and high-producing dairy cattle are fed high-grain rations in order to increase feed efficiency. When cattle are fed high-grain rations, some starch escapes ruminal microbial degradation and passes to the hindgut where it undergoes fermentation. Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that populations of total E. coli were higher in grain-fed than in forage-fed cattle. However, when cattle were abruptly switched from a high-grain diet to an all-hay diet, total E. coli populations declined 1000-fold within 5 days and reduced the ability of the surviving E. coli to survive an acid shock mimicking passage through the human gastric stomach. This research provoked many questions about the effects of diet or E. coli O157:H7 populations that have not been conclusively answered to date. Subsequent research demonstrated that diet does affect E. coli O157:H7 populations, but effects have been varied in magnitude and impact. Rapidly, ruminally fermented grains such as barley have been shown to increase the shedding of E. coli O157:H7, and feeding distillers grains can significantly increase fecal shedding of E. coli O157:H7. Further studies have indicated that the impact of forage feeding on reducing E. coli O157:H7 populations may be based upon concentrations of tannins and phenolic acids in forages. Data from researchers across North America indicate that diet does impact STEC/EHEC populations in cattle prior to slaughter; however, the economic, logistic, and practical impacts of dietary changes must be examined and accounted for.

If you're constantly tired because you can't break your bad sleeping patterns, this super smart Sunrise Pillow might put you back in the game.
Nutrition, physical activity and sleep are the cornerstones of health. Yet, sleep seems to be the most overlooked, with electronic devices, light pollution, stress, busy schedules, and Netflix all standing in the way. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention an estimated 50-70 million US adults have sleep or wakefulness disorder, and more than a third of adults are getting less than the recommended minimum of seven hours of sleep. People with sleep insufficiency are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, depression, and obesity, as well as from cancer, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life and productivity.
UCLA researchers successfully use a new technique to "wake up" a patient after coma.
A new ultrasound treatment by UCLA scientists was used to restart brain activity in a 25-year-old man recovering from a coma. Before the treatment, the man showed few signs of consciousness and understanding speech, able to perform very limited movements. Three days after the treatment, the man could fully understand language, communicated by nodding his head and even fist-bumped one of the doctors.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought turmoil to commodities markets as the conflict ensnares merchant shipping.
At least two merchant ships have been reportedly hit since Russian forces began the attack on its neighbor this week. Insurers are either not offering to cover vessels, or they’re demanding huge premiums to do so.

That has compounded oil trading and shipping markets that were already — with a few exceptions — leery of doing Russian deals while people figure out the sanctions risk of buying the nation’s crude. Trade lawyers said that commodities from Russia should ultimately keep flowing, but that caution is likely in the near term and the situation is fast-changing.

As a U.S. senator, I cannot justify providing the executive with more ways to bypass Congress. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
North Carolina Republickan Senator Thom Tillis was certainly adamant in his opposition to Trump's National Emergency declaration. It was bad policy and would likely come back to bite the party in the future.
Republicans need to realize that this will lead inevitably to regret when a Democrat once again controls the White House, cites the precedent set by Trump, and declares his or her own national emergency to advance a policy that couldn’t gain congressional approval. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
Why the change of heart? Tillis claimed that he heard serious discussion that would prevent future left wing presidents from using the insidious power that he was now allowing Trump to use. One time only.
The concerns I’ve raised were never about what President Trump is trying to accomplish but rather with setting a precedent that a future Democratic president would exploit to bypass Congress to implement policies well outside the mainstream. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)As in; it's only okay when we do it. Purple state Republicans voted with Trump in every case except for Susan Collins of Maine. They were obviously more afraid of the GOP Trumpites and getting primaried than they were afraid of losing a general election, as Jonathan Bernstein articulately points out at Bloomberg.
There is no intellectual honesty in now turning around and arguing that there’s an imaginary asterisk attached to executive overreach — that it’s acceptable for my party but not thy party. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)Oops, changed his mind. These folks are a bunch of gutless wonders. They are so afraid of Donald Trump that they would sell out their mother, cross any ethical line for the opportunity to give their leader a fat smooch on the hind quarters.
Rather than working on a moderate position that appeals to the majority of Americans, the GOP wants to double down on the hard right. Party over nation. It will be interesting to see if and how they get burned during the next election cycle.A national Quinnipiac University poll, released March 6, found that 66 percent of voters disapproved of Trump’s use of emergency powers to fund a border wall. But a different survey taken a few days later by Morning Consult found that seven in 10 Republican voters said they would be more likely to vote for senators or representatives who supported Trump’s declaration.

When Camille Perry and Holly Wright joined forces last year to establish their new label, Tove, they knew—as will any fashion start-up—that the first year would be challenging. Just how challenging it would turn out to be in the age of the coronavirus, however, nothing could have prepared them for.
When I talk to the pair as lockdown in London has already begun to ease, though, their outlook is unexpectedly upbeat. “We’ve been somewhat lucky as a direct-to-consumer business, which was always a priority,” says Wright. “That’s helped protect us right now, and being smaller, we’ve been able to be nimble and really react.” It seems that while they’re conscious to keep their finger on their pulse, they’ve also recognized that the principles they laid out as the foundation for the brand have put them in surprisingly good stead to navigate this strange new world. In Tove’s case, their first idea has proven to be their best one.
“At the start of lockdown there was a panic and it felt like everyone was switching to jersey, but as time went on, people were wanting to reach out for beautiful things,” says Perry. “They wanted some normality,” Wright agrees. “A sense of their old selves again.” For both Perry and Wright, the pace of their pre-pandemic lives is something they now recognize as unsustainable. “One thing this period has taught us is how much running around we do,” says Perry. “Being able to work from home and lean on technology has forced us to slow down and really focus without all of the noise and distraction of rushing from meeting to meeting. For that part, it’s been a really useful time.”
The success of Tove lies partly in Perry and Wright’s many years of experience within a variety of corners of the industry—the pair first met while working at Topshop as head of buying and head of design respectively. When it came to launching Tove, they already had a clear and well-honed blueprint of how they wanted to build the brand across a number of years. Aside from their impressive business nous, it’s the clothes that are the star—impeccably draped dresses and blouses that manage to feel both breezy and luxurious, just as appropriate for a boardroom meeting as they are a summer holiday. On the strength of their first collection alone, Tove was snapped up by Net-a-Porter almost immediately for a year-long exclusive partnership, something Perry and Wright credit as having been a key source of support during the months of lockdown.
Alongside their uncompromising vision for both the creative and business facets of the brand, the pair have also taken a savvy approach to social media to spread the word. One example is their recognition of Instagram as an essential (and cost-effective) marketing tool, allowing them to establish a dialogue with their clients that has only deepened during lockdown. “We’ve always invested in our imagery really heavily because it’s our strongest asset as a direct-to-consumer brand,” Perry explains. “And right now we have this captive audience, as everyone is on social media so much more being at home, so that’s been a big positive."

Birmingham, December 13 – Democrat former United States Attorney Doug Jones defeated former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore in the special United States Senate election yesterday. Out of more than 1.3 million votes cast, Jones won by less than 21,000 votes in this state which has not had a democrat U.S. Senator since January 3, 1997, when Howell Heflin retired.
Moore’s loss came at the hands of Republicans who dramatically stayed at home rather than turning out to support the former jurist who faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. A video interview of Moore by Fox News anchor Sean Hannity during July, 2017, in which Moore admitted that he was smitten with the lady who eventually became his wife when she was only 15 years old, was particularly damaging.
Republican voters in urban and suburban neighborhoods around Birmingham and Montgomery had a particularly low turnout.
Clearly, conservative Republican voters expect the Republican Party to stand for good government. Good government does not condone the abuse of power, in which a person, such as Moore who was an Assistant District Attorney or a District Attorney during the time of the alleged sexual misconduct, engaged.
Voters in Montgomery County, Texas, now face a similar situation with JP James Metts who is running for Precinct 4 County Commissioner. The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission formally found that Metts made repeated sexual advances towards Delonna Snow, a County government employee who worked in his court office. At one point, when Snow refused Metts’ advances, he threatened to hit her.
On August 4, 2014, the Montgomery County Commissioners Court authorized a settlement payment of $45,000 of taxpayer funds to settle Snow’s lawsuit and charge of discrimination against the County government, after Metts fired Snow for refusing to have sex with him.
Incredibly, Metts is running in the Republican Primary Election against the reformer incumbent Precinct 4 County Commissioner Jim Clark and another reformer, Bob Bagley, who presently serves on the Montgomery County Hospital District Board of Directors. Metts is part of the Davenport Ring, the corrupt group of politicians who do the bidding of corrupt local political boss Marc Davenport.

Snapchat is launching new ways to keep more users engaged on its platform after lagging behind rival Instagram. On 25 April, Snapchat launched Snappables — AR games that use your touch, motion and facial expressions.
First spotted by Killer Features, Snappables will be available right alongside the other Snapchat lens’ and should roll out globally soon. Snapchat says that it will be launching new games every week and that popular games will stick around for some more time.
Snappables will also allow users to compete in literal head-to-head multiplayer matchups. This is the first time Snapchat has enabled collaborative or shared Lenses which let users interact with other users on their phone.
The first of the previewed Snappable games include an Asteroids-style space shooter, a kiss-blowing game, a weightlifting game which makes use of your forehead, an egg-catching competition and a dance party.
To play the Snappable game, select one of the game lenses and then follow the on-screen instructions given in the game. Many games are only solo games while the others are multiplayer games wherein the objective is to get the highest score.

AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) Chief Scientific Officer Ross McKinney, Jr., MD and AAMC President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, issued the following statement on the approval of COVID-19 vaccines:
“To maintain public faith in a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as to optimally assure the safety and effectiveness of new products for widespread public distribution, the AAMC recommends that the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluate any candidate vaccines prior to the FDA issuing an emergency use authorization.
Full approval of a new vaccine or biologic requires demonstration of safety and effectiveness through a process that includes evaluation by the VRBPAC. Their recommendations are considered by FDA staff who ultimately have the authority to approve the new product.
Stopping the COVID-19 pandemic demands our best science and our best approval processes. The health of our nation depends on it.”

ShowTellShare: Just before heading overseas for a holiday at the end of 2013, we went interstate to a wedding of a dear friend of mine, whom I have known since childhood. Love was in the air, and in my hands!
Here’s me and the spunky groom, Alex. I *love* that he wore his own traditional family kilt for the wedding… Men in skirts? Brilliant! And the bride came into the winery – where the service was held – riding sidesaddle on a horse! It really was a gorgeous and super fun event.
Here’s my *colour love* outfit, between the vines…
Tell: Ken Done sunglasses, handmade earrings, Tatty Devine flower necklace, Linda Jackson original 1980s hand-screen-printed dress (she gave it to me from her own collection when I met her in Melbourne earlier in the year!), Black Milk leggings, Fluevog shoes, and heart bag from Melbourne.

A leak in the vote counting software used for elections in the Netherlands has potentially enabled the manipulation of election results. There is no evidence that that happened; a hacker who discovered the leak reported it to the Electoral Council. It has now been resolved, the agency reports.
Municipalities use the software to add up the totals from polling stations. The version with the leak was first used in the autumn of 2021, during the municipal redistricting elections. This also happened at the municipal elections a year later and at the Provincial Council elections last March.
The leak was discovered in June. The leak will no longer be present in the upcoming House of Representatives elections on November 22.
The leak allowed malicious parties to gain access to the infrastructure of the software supplier that makes the vote counting software. This could allow a modified, manipulated version of the software to be distributed, which could ultimately, for example, adjust the results of elections.
The supplier of the software has “registered a number of login attempts”, the Electoral Council reported in response to questions from NOS. However, there is no reason to think that this led to misuse of the software, the authority emphasizes.
In addition, after the votes are counted, samples are taken to check whether the counts are correct, which should detect fraud.
The hacker who found and reported the problem discovered that vendor credentials were present in the installation software. This allowed him to log in to the supplier’s infrastructure, including the part of the infrastructure where the vote counting software was housed.
He could have placed his own, modified version of the software there. Whether that in itself would have been enough to manipulate the elections is not certain: in theory, municipalities must check whether the digital signature of the software is correct before using it.
A forged signature allowed the software to be identified as legitimate; To do this, the hacker would have had to penetrate further into the software’s internal infrastructure. There are no concrete indications that that was possible.
Hacker Maarten Boone, who found the leak, writes that it took him less than an hour to figure out the leak. At the same time, he praises the response of the head of ICT security at the Electoral Council. “They picked it up very quickly and the resolution went smoothly and super fast,” Boone said.
He also writes that he is pleased with the practice in the Netherlands that hackers with good intentions can safely report vulnerabilities in computer programs, without having to fear prosecution.
The security issue was likely never noticed because previous security testing never examined the installation software. This can be read in a decision note published by outgoing Minister De Jonge of the Interior. From now on, the installation software will also be included.
An additional security test conducted after the breach was reported revealed two more minor security issues. These have now been resolved.
