Rounded fonts are back in vogue
“It could hardly get much rounder” is the first thought that comes to mind when one considers what is currently to be encountered in cities and on popular internet sites. Many of the fonts that we see around us used as logos, on posters, banners and hoardings look as if they have been subjected to the attentions of a sander. Top German brands (such Rewe, Otto, Vaillant and tegut) have decided to ’soften’ their image in recent years. Rounded fonts are at present both popular and ubiquitous.
An historical and current review
But rounded fonts are rather like flared trousers and kidney-shaped tables - after a while, things that are flavour of the month tend to fall out of favour although sometimes they manage to make a comeback. There are definite ups and downs to be seen in the popularity curve of rounded fonts throughout the 20th century, whereby their heyday was in the 1970s and 1980s. But not all of them fell from grace: the logo used for the long-running German TV entertainment show Wetten dass...? (’You Bet!’) has remained (largely) unchanged for more than 30 years.
In the 1970s, it became common practice not only to give all designs a rounded finish but also to round the corners of table borders. Even paper was cut in such as way to ensure that its corners were no longer sharp. Of course, fonts were also influenced by this passion for curves and several rounded versions of grotesque typefaces were created. For ITC, for example, Ed Benguiat designed ITC Souvenir in 1972, a revival of an older American font originally conceived by Morris Fuller Benton in 1914. Despite its somewhat unusual shapes, one of the first uses of the font was on tax return forms. Another typeface that did not have rounded corners but was otherwise fully in line with trends was ITC Bauhaus dating to 1975. When it comes to this synthetic grotesque, the underlying geometrical forms are completely round, as in the case of Pump and the 1970 Blippo by Robert Trogman. And ITC Benguiat Gothic from 1979 is another follower of the fashion for rounded fonts.
The popularity of rounded fonts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in an absolute deluge of commercial image rebranding. In 1973, the German TV broadcaster ZDF based in Mainz was given a new face by Otl Aicher who, inspired by Univers, designed ZDF Rounded. Because the resolution of TV screens of the period was relatively poor and the techniques used to display text made corners and serifs appear rounded, ZDF had decided from the outset that it wanted a rounded font.
When, in 1979, the VW concern modified its corporate font, adapting the classic Futura to produce a more rounded version, the typeface that is now known worldwide under the name VAG Rounded came into being. At the same time, the oil company Aral also reworked its typeface to give it a rounded appearance.
But what was the first and original rounded font? The answer is provided in Rob Roy Kelly’s book American Wood Type: 1828–1900, which contains an illustration of the uppercase Gothic Rounded that is dated to 1838. This typeface is little known, something that is perhaps due to its not quite fully geometrical curves – a feature that is probably less attributable to a conscious design concept and more to the dexterity (or otherwise) of the woodcarver.
Rather more familiar, although much later, is Berthold’s rounded grotesque Bloc. This somewhat idiosyncratically shaped font was published in 1908 and was designed to be used as a display font despite its slightly uneven outlines. This was perfect for the printers of the period - there wasn’t much that could go wrong when printing from a typeface that was already fairly rough-and-ready.
It was not only grotesque fonts that got caught up in the craze for rounded fonts; serif typefaces also jumped on the bandwagon. Examples are Windsor by Eleisha Pechey (1905) and Cooper Black by Oswald Bruce Cooper (1921). The latter has become a classic and is still used today as a display typeface. Another example of a font from the old lead type days in which the serifs were rounded is König Antiqua by Heinz König (1905)), produced by the Klingspor type foundry in Offenbach.
As rounded forms can be readily combined with the design principles used for calligraphic fonts, it comes as no surprise that there are numerous representatives within this genre. Worth a mention here are the slightly older Balloon (1939) and the popular Dom Casual by Peter Dombrezian (1952). More recent are Wiesbaden Swing by Rosemarie Kloos-Rau (1992) and Vincent Connare’s somewhat controversial Comic Sans (1994).
While things went a little quiet on the rounded font front in the late 1990s and at the turn of the millennium, they have become, in the age of the social web, more popular than ever. This has nothing to do with technical display problems; our current TVs and monitors can show corners with no loss of detail. It is rather that the temperament of rounded fonts perfectly matches the personal character of the social networks. The often more or less technological but still warm and soft feel of rounded fonts also encapsulates the outlook of many start-up companies. Perhaps predictably, the original logo (now no longer in use) of the microblogging service Twitter and that of the internet phone service Skype use rounded fonts, to give just a couple of examples.
A current trend in web design complements this resurgence of rounded fonts. The use of larger font sizes and bright colours on pale backgrounds helps offset the intrinsically poorer legibility of rounded fonts. Now obtainable in larger numbers thanks to the availability of web fonts, there is thus nothing preventing the use of rounded fonts in web design.
Of course, the current prevalence and popularity of rounded fonts are also reflected in the form of new designs issued in recent years. Many classic fonts have been revised by Monotype and supplemented with additional styles. As a result, fonts such as Avenir Next by Adrian Frutiger, Museo Sans by Jos Buivenga and DIN Next by Akira Kobayashi have been furnished with variants that have rounded corners.
There are also many newly created fonts that embrace the contemporary trend. Particularly outstanding examples are the extensive Akko by Akira Kobayashi, the distinctive Klint by Hannes von Döhren and Erik Faulhaber’s Xenois Soft, a member of the Superfamilie Xenois. And then there is the very unconventional but thus particularly characterful Fruitygreen by Andi AW. Masry, a recent addition to the rounded font canon.
There is another typeface trend that should not be left unmentioned and which complements the enthusiasm for rounded fonts. The currently very fashionable retro look fonts in the style of advertising script of the 1950s and 1960s are also characterised by rounded forms. Almost inevitably, modern internet platforms such as Vimeo and Instagram use these designs derived from brush fonts for their logos because retro is again the new black.
In our world, which seems to be spinning ever faster, we thus comfort ourselves with what appealed to us in the past and the whirligig of time brings round to our attention once again.

Pain in the collarbone or clavicle may indicate an injury or fracture of the collarbone stemming from a fall or direct contact with another object or person, explains WebMD. Collarbone pain could also indicate shoulder osteoarthritis, which often occurs in the AC joint, the point where the tip of the shoulder blade connects to the collarbone.
Shoulder osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage that tops the bones begins to wear down or degenerate, which causes swelling and pain that can extend to the collarbone, according to WebMD.
An injury to the collarbone may occur during sports such as football, wrestling or hockey, explains WebMD. People who are in a vehicle accident or have a direct blow to the collarbone may suffer from a fracture, which causes pain. Symptoms of a collarbone fracture include immediate pain following a hit or fall on the collarbone, a grinding feeling when lifting the arms, or an inability to raise one or both arms due to pain.
Physicians diagnose damage to a collarbone by examining the affected area while searching for a bump or lump near or on the collarbone, according to WebMD. Physicians also assess mobility in the shoulder and other joints and test the muscle strength of the shoulders. A thorough exam involves checking the patient's temperature, skin color and pulse to determine the cause of collarbone pain.

My cat developed rapid labored respirations a week ago, the vet diagnosed lung cancer and he also had bladder infection. On xray he had consolidated whitish area with scattered crystal like areas. He was given antibiotics for infection and a steroid injection the vet said to temporary help with the breathing but he said my pet did not have long to live. He is breathing less labored and his rate fluctuates between 60-80/min. question is could this be something else instead of cancer-fungal, parasite? I do feed stray cats and even though he is mainly indoor cat I do take him out when I'm outside and he has gone under shrubs and maybe has sniffed something?
There are many different causes for rapid breathing in cats which may include pain, respiratory infection, heart failure among other causes. Without an examination and thorough auscultation of the chest, I cannot say what the cause is or the best course of treatment; anytime resting respiratory rate is over 40 breaths per minute, you should visit your Veterinarian as soon as possible. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
You should keep an eye on the kitten for now and ensure that he remains hydrated; rapid breathing may be attributable to numerous causes but shouldn’t be an issue unless he is in distress. See how he is over the next day or two, but if you don’t see any improvement you should visit your Veterinarian for another examination. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
What's wrong with my poor gravy? My cat Gravy has become extremely affectionate today and has followed me outside 3x, where he never ever goes! He's following me like a shadow and meowing at me more than normal. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, but his breathing and change of demeanor have me concerned. He's breathing fairly rapidly thru his nose, and he is moving his tail a lot also acting maybe as if he is worried?
Thank you for your email. Since Tortie was just seen by your veterinarian and was deemed healthy, her periodic bouts of rapid breathing may be normal, and may follow bouts of exertion or anxiety. If the periods that she is breathing rapidly become more frequent, or more severe, it would be a good idea to have her seen by your veterinarian and examined to make sure that she is okay. It might be helpful to video the episode, since she doesn't seem to breathe that way when she is at an appointment. I hope that she is okay!
Thank you for your email. Without examining Missy, I can't comment on what might be going on. She may just be a skittish cat, given all of the change that has gone on in her life recently. IF she is eating and drinking normally, and seems healthy otherwise, she may be okay. If she seems to be having breathing problems. it would be best to have her seen by your veterinarian, and they will be able to determine if she is normal, or has a problem. It is nice of you to help this cat when she needs it. I hope that she is okay.

If your cat does appear to have a heart problem, your veterinarian may also order an ECG (electrocardiogram) to measure the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart, both of which determine the heart's ability to operate normally. If your cat's problem is in its nose or airways, a small camera called an endoscope may be used to get a closer look at these areas. These procedures are known as rhinoscopy and bronchoscopy, respectively. While your veterinarian is examining your cat with the endoscope, samples of fluid and cells may be taken for biopsic analysis.
Also known as dirofilariasis, heartworm disease (HW) is a serious parasitic infection caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis which lives in the pulmonary arteries, lungs, and hearts of cats. Heartworms are a type of roundworm, with adult heartworms reaching a length of 12 to 30 cm. Microfilaria (baby heartworms) are present in the blood of an infected animal (in most cases, a dog), when a female mosquito feeds on the blood, microfilaria are also ingested, once, inside the gut of the mosquito, they undergo further development before migrating to the labium (a part of the mouth) of the mosquito. When the infected mosquito feeds on another host (in this case, your cat), the larvae move from the mouthpart and onto the skin of the cat (or dog), from there, they enter the bloodstream via the bite wound left behind by the mosquito.
My fiance said the he saw her eat this afternoon, so that is a relief. Her gums are pink (that's one of the first things I looked at on her and I should've told you that...but... this is my BABY CAT and she has me a little panicked!.. not like dealing with humans on the ambulance... she's innocent!) I do have access to oxygen... so we can make her an oxygen tent if it's necessary. Right now, she is getting up every couple of minutes and repositioning or pacing.. her respiration rate is around 50 right now... her belly almost looks like it's spasming and her heart rate is running between 80 and 90 everytime we take it... which is low... what do you suggest??????

EU Sweetener Demand Set to Triple as Quotas-End Damps Sugar UseIsis Almeida
Consumption of isoglucose, a sweetener made from cereals, will more than triple in the European Union in a decade as the end of quotas that cap production damps sugar demand, the bloc’s regulatory arm said.
Isoglucose usage will rise to 2.2 million metric tons by 2023 from about 600,000 tons this year, the European Commission estimated in a report on its website today. Production of the starch-based sweetener will gain especially after quotas that limit both sugar and isoglucose output and sales end in 2017, the commission said, forecasting isoglucose production at 2.4 million tons in 2023 from 700,000 tons this year.
“With the expiry of the quota scheme in 2017, isoglucose will start to compete on the domestic sweetener market, especially in regions with a high grain surplus,” the commission said. “Isoglucose is expected to increasingly replace sugar in selected food consumption uses.”
EU sugar consumption will drop 3.9 percent by 2023 to 17.1 million tons from 17.8 million tons this year, according to the report. While isoglucose usage will gain, its consumption share of the sweeteners market will remain below the 40 percent in the U.S. and the 25 percent in Canada and Mexico, the 28-member-nation bloc forecasts.
The EU, currently a net importer of sugar, will probably produce enough for its consumption after quotas end and may be a net exporter occasionally, according to the commission. Sugar production will rise to 17.1 million tons by 2023 from 15.6 million tons this year, pushing prices down to 405 euros ($554) a ton by 2023 from 584 euros a ton in 2014.
“It is expected that sugar imports will decline from current levels,” the bloc said. “However, being a net exporter does not mean that imports will completely disappear. Due to the relatively short production period of sugar in the autumn and its regional concentration in North Western Europe, there will be ample need for imports in certain periods and certain regions. The most competitive origins that have free access to the EU market will therefore continue exporting to the EU.”
A group of least-developed nations and some countries in the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states can ship their sugar to the EU free of duty. A set amount of sweetener can also be imported from countries including Australia and Brazil at a reduced duty, known as CXL.
Sugar beet production in the bloc will climb to 119.3 million tons by 2023 from 110.7 million tons this year, according to the report. Most of the additional crop will be used to make sugar instead of ethanol, the commission said.
“Sugar beet is expected to become less competitive as feedstock for ethanol once the quota arrangements cease to apply,” the commission said.
France is the EU’s biggest sugar producer followed by Germany.

So many government hospitals have been built in Bhopal since the 1984 disaster, that, as the International Medical Commission on Bhopal (IMCB) has observed, there are more hospital beds per 1000 population here than in the USA or Europe.
The Comptroller and Auditor General's annual reports suggest that excessive commissions, and not concern for victims' welfare, is the real motive for building these huge hospitals that house seldom-used, expensive equipment.
Government initiatives towards identification of survivors have resulted in confusion, corruption and utter discrimination. Consequently there are no credible official figures of the number of victims and the degree and extent of injury. Similarly lacking are systems to document the health status and treatment given to hundreds of thousands of survivors under long-term medical care.
Given the nature of chronic exposure-induced illnesses and the need for continuous medication, systematic efforts towards finding non-toxic drug alternatives or drug-free therapies are long overdue. Such initiatives are even more imperative in the context of the rich possibilities offered by long-established indigenous systems. However, systems of healthcare such as Ayurveda and Yoga that are known to provide sustained relief – without contributing to the toxic load – have been given only token recognition within the official system of medical care in Bhopal. The government budgetary allocation to 'alternative' medical care is under one percent. The Bhopal Memorial Hospital Trust (BMHT) does not recognise 'alternative' therapies at all.
Despite repeated advice from medical professionals, including the IMCB, a community health perspective has failed to inform healthcare delivery among the gas-affected population. Budgetary allocations to community health services have remained under two percent and there are no government or BMHT community healthworkers. As a consequence, such vital areas as health education and community involvement in medical management remain neglected.
While Union Carbide / Dow continue to evade liability for contamination of community water sources, the government has done little to protect people from additional exposure and injury. Both Union Carbide / Dow and the Indian Government are in possession of information on the hazardous and persistent nature of these pollutants, yet no effort is being made to assess the damage, or plan for remediation.
The failure of state government agencies (despite spending over US $43 million of public money) to offer sustained relief has meant big business for private doctors and nursing homes. In the severely affected areas, most of the meagre compensation has been spent on private doctors, nearly 70 percent of whom are not even professionally qualified, yet they constitute the majority of the medical care providers.
The BMHT (originally set up by Union Carbide) has also been found to be prescribing drugs that do more harm than good. Dr Rajiv Bhatia, Medical Director of the Department of Public Health in San Franscisco, audited over 400 prescriptions given to chronically ill patients in the Trust's community clinics with alarming conclusions.
It is indeed a shocking situation – people surviving against the most gruesome odds – a company carrying on with 'business as usual' – a government that is about to close its files on the 'expendable people' of Bhopal – and the prevalent system of health care most probably doing more harm than good.
This seemingly impossible situation provides the context for Sambhavna's existence. Sambhavna is a Sanskrit / Hindi word which means 'possibility'. Read as two words, 'sama' and 'bhavna' it means 'similar feelings' or 'compassion'. Although despair often prevails in Bhopal, Sambhavna believes in the possibility of stopping the medical disaster in Bhopal and that the secret lies in generating compassion.
The work carried out by Sambhavna has demonstrated that it is possible to evolve simple, safe, effective, ethical and participatory ways of performing research, monitoring and treatment in Bhopal. Although small compared to the magnitude and complexity of the disaster, the clinic has provided direct treatment to approximately 35,000 people and given support to a further 40,000 through its health initiatives in over 15 communities close to the Union Carbide factory.
Drug Trials and Scandals
Since the opening of Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre in 2001, the hospital, as well as several other government health facilities in Bhopal, have been linked to a number of dangerous drug trials and other scandals.
Bhopal's Community Shield
During the coronavirus pandemic, Sambhavna's community health team, along with a team of more than 200 volunteers from the surrounding communities, have undertaken a mass campaign of awareness raising, screening and testing to protect vulnerable gas survivors from the effects of Covid-19.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star drew the short straw when she appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon alongside the musician Dave Matthews and the singer Michael Buble.
The 27-year-old had to play the tune as the other guests tried to guess what she was playing on the show's New York stage.
Anyone watching who thought she might surprise them with a hidden talent was sorely disappointed.
Her rendition was so bad that Matthews and Buble failed to recognise the song amid the sound of laughter.
The English actress was on the show to promote her new film, Anna Karenina, the latest screen version of the Leo Tolstoy novel.
The film sees Keira reunited with Joe Wright who directed her to her Oscar nomination in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice.
Already getting rave reviews, the film may see the Bend It Like Beckham actress land another Oscar nomination – despite only signing on to be in the movie 10 weeks ahead of filming.

Moreover, with the investments gained by the companies involved in pet care are expected to improve the delivery of the right veterinary eye care to in the coming years. With the acquisition strategies that allow gaining competitive edge over the market and provide better veterinary eye care are expected to be major highlights in the growth of the veterinary eye care market. With the increasing need for veterinary eye care, market players in the veterinary eye care market are also seen boosting the sales of veterinary eye care products in promising nations.
Veterinary eye care is a general practice for the comprehensive ophthalmic examination and medical & surgical treatment of eye disorders majorly in companion animals. Normally, pets are highly susceptible to similar eye diseases as those of humans, such as cataracts, glaucoma, corneal injuries and retinal diseases requiring time to time veterinary eye care. Cataract, which is a common eye disease in senior animals, can also occur in animals suffering from diabetes. Cataract caused by diabetes is likely to result in other serious eye disorders that require immediate diagnosis and treatment. Other than cataract, glaucoma is also one of the prominent pet eye disease in veterinary eye care that causes pain and leads to the swelling of the eye balls. However, corneal ulcers and scars are likely to occur in pets due to infections caused by foreign objects or chronically dry eyes.
Ocular surface disorders majorly comprise distinct eye problems including Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) or dry eyes, eye inflammation and gland dysfunction. The standard veterinary eye care treatment recommended for eye diseases broadly includes medical treatment and surgical treatment. Under the medical treatments segment defined for the veterinary eye care market, eye drops followed by drugs account for a significant revenue share in the global veterinary eye care market. Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus are commonly recommended drugs for eye diseases in veterinary eye care. Alternative treatment options in the veterinary eye care market, such as corticosteroid eye drops, ointments and injections, are likely to provide symptomatic pain relief and prevent recurrence, but are recommended along with standard drugs. There are few conditions in veterinary eye care that require an animal to be referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist, which include glaucoma, cataract, vision loss, congenital eye abnormalities (birth defects), lens luxation, uveitis (intraocular inflammation), corneal disease, retinal disease, dry eyes and eyelid abnormalities. Some of the major symptoms for KCS in the veterinary eye care market include red eyes, frequent rubbing of the eyes with paws, watery eyes, evidence of pain or soreness near the animal’s eye and others. Surgical treatment in the veterinary eye care market is likely to be required in case of acute and recurrent eye disease, mostly glaucoma and cataract. Some of the major end users of the veterinary eye care market that conduct eye-related surgeries for animals include veterinary hospitals, veterinary clinics and others. However, drugs, ointments and eye drops can be easily obtained from distributional channels segment of veterinary eye care market such as e-commerce, retail pharmacies, drug stores and others.

The growing prevalence and recurrence of eye diseases in animals, which include cataract and glaucoma, is expected to be a major factor driving the veterinary eye care market over the forecast period. Veterinary ophthalmology services offered by veterinarians provide the most updated veterinary eye care and surgical treatments for animals. The early aging of animals and the high number of undiagnosed eye diseases in animals are contributing to veterinary eye care market growth. The launch & addition of new drugs, topical solutions and therapies is another important factor contributing to the growth of the global veterinary eye care market. However, a variety of drugs are still under clinical trial phases, which is expected to drive revenue generation in the global veterinary eye care market. However, limited awareness about treatments for eye disorders in animals among pet owners is restraining the revenue growth of the global veterinary eye care market.
The global veterinary eye care market is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period. Several veterinary drugs are introduced in the veterinary eye care market. Of these, some are still under clinical trials and thus, there is high competition among local and regional players. Among the two treatment types, the medical treatment segment, which includes eye drops, ointments, and drugs, is expected to lead the global veterinary eye care market over the forecast period. The retail pharmacy distribution channels segment is expected to contribute a high share in the global veterinary eye care market as it is the most accessible channel and outpatient treatment is recommended for most animals. Veterinary hospitals also account for significant revenue generation in veterinary eye care market owing to a large number of eye surgeries performed by veterinarians in these facilities.
Geographically, the global veterinary eye care market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan and the Middle East and Africa (MEA). North America is expected to be the dominant market in the global veterinary eye care market owing to high prevalence of eye diseases among animals and high spending on vet care as compared to other regions. The veterinary eye care market in APEJ is expected to grow at a significant CAGR due to an increase in the number of products offered by key domestic players. Europe is expected to register the second-largest share in the global veterinary eye care market throughout the forecast period owing to increased awareness about veterinary eye diseases among pet owners.
Veterinary Eye Care Market: Key Players
The global veterinary eye care market is highly fragmented owing to presence of large number of domestic manufacturers. Some of the key players operating in the global veterinary eye care market are Bausch & Lomb Incorporated; I-Med Animal Health; Menicon Co., Ltd.; Animal Eye Care LLC and Akorn, Inc., among others.

Lower prices for metals, including nickel, and the planned maintenance shutdown at its Sudbury operations, ate into Vale’s third-quarter revenues of its base metals division.
In a presentation Thursday, Vale said its base metals division generated US $778 million in the second quarter, but only $528 million in the most recent quarter.
“About 65 per cent of the decrease (in the third quarter) is related to the exogenous factor of lower prices of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 35 per cent mainly associated with Sudbury’s annual planned maintenance shutdown and its effects on lower by-product volumes and higher costs.”
Nickel is the key metal Vale mines in Sudbury. Vale has six mines, a mill, a smelter, a refinery and nearly 4,000 employees in Sudbury, making it the city’s largest employer. Besides nickel, Vale mines copper, cobalt, platinum group metals, gold and silver in Sudbury.
While nickel was selling for more than US$6 a pound earlier this year, it has been steadily dropping in recent months, and closed at $5.4907 a pound on Wednesday. Nickel price was just under $6.20 a pound in late August.
The company’s third quarter “results represented a tipping point for the Base Metals business,” Eduardo Bartolomeo, executive officer for Vale’s Base Metals division, said in a release on Wednesday. “We are undergoing an important restructuring process led by our new management team with the focus on optimizing our operations, stabilizing our cost structure and reviewing mine plans.
“We are creating the basis for the nickel business to generate strong cash flows in any price scenario, while keeping the optionality to capture the upside of emerging demand for nickel in electric vehicles.”
Part of that restructuring has led to mine closures and job cuts in Sudbury and Thompson, Man.
In the near term, Vale said the outlook for nickel “remains cautious as current inventories will act as a buffer to price recovery. Meanwhile, macroeconomic factors such as the ongoing trade dispute between major powers introduce volatility to the base metals price complex, nickel included.
“Our long-term outlook for nickel continues to be positive. Nickel in electric vehicle batteries will become an increasingly important source of demand growth particularly as battery chemistry (favours) higher nickel content due to lower cost and higher energy density.
“Capital is starting to flow back into the industry given the recovery in price. However, the timing of investments may increase the lag and widen future deficits given continued demand growth.”
Reuters reported Thursday that Brazil’s Vale, the world’s top iron ore producer, is expecting major improvement in the performance of its base metals division in 2020, but said that production cuts would remain effect this year and next while prices remain low, executives said on Thursday.
Chief Executive Fabio Schvartsman forecast a major jump for the segment in 2020. Base metals are non-precious metals that contain no iron.
“We are expecting a significant jump in results for base metals in 2020 due to the likely recovery in prices, reduction in costs, and jump in volume that the company will have in 2020,” Schvartsman said in a call with analysts and reported by Reuters.
The comments came a day after Vale reported third quarter results that fell short of expectations, because of a $250 million drop in base metals operating profit, in addition to a weaker real currency.
The base metals forecast represented a shift, after Schvartsman said in February that the company was seeking to make its base metals unit grow to 30 percent of its financial results by the end of 2019, in a bid to diversify beyond its massive iron ore business.
On Thursday, Vale Chief Financial Officer Luciano Siani said the company’s net debt would fluctuate around a target of $10 billion but not go below that level, Reuters reported.
Vale has managed to reduce its net debt to $10.7 billion, still above the $10 billion goal Schvartsman had set for the middle of 2018. Heavy spending on Vale’s flagship S11D mine, which churns out rich grades of ore, drove up Vale’s debt in recent years, at a time iron ore prices slid sharply.
Schvartsman said iron ore from S11D would be used for blending and would not put pressure on market supply. He added that Chinese demand had been stronger than expected and that the ore division will perform well in coming quarters.
China’s campaign to clean its skies by clamping down on polluting steel mills has fueled a need for high-grade iron ore to boost productivity and limit emissions, opening the door wider for suppliers of better quality ore like Vale to the world’s biggest buyer.
Schvartsman said Vale will have news on the New Caledonia nickel mine soon, Reuters reported. The company has been seeking to find a partner to invest in it by year-end.
Over-budget and years late when it finally started up in 2010, the New Caledonia project accumulated nearly $1.3 billion in losses between 2014 and 2016.

Nearly 3,000 Bangor homeowners can add onto their homes or make significant renovations without flouting city codes now that the City Council has cut the minimum lot size for almost half of Bangor properties.
The change fundamentally alters Bangor’s approach to housing, giving developers fewer hurdles to overcome in rehabbing properties and allowing for less sprawled-out development in a number of city neighborhoods, said Jeff Wallace, Bangor’s code enforcement director.
The City Council voted in late December to reduce the city’s minimum lot size from either 9,000 or 10,000 square feet — slightly less than a quarter acre — to 5,000. The change, which took effect Jan. 7, affects houses zoned as either Urban Residence 1, Urban Residence 2, or Multifamily and Service — zones that make up 48 percent of the city’s 8,322 lots.
As a result, 2,920 lots that were too small for development under the city’s former minimum lot size now meet the new 5,000-square-foot requirement. That’s 35.1 percent of lots in the city.
Wallace said the change allows homeowners to bring homes on grandfathered-in smaller lots back into compliance with existing city building codes, and will increase density in the city’s urban center, including in neighborhoods such as Little City, Fairmount and the Tree Streets.
Bangor’s lot size requirement was at the 5,000-square-foot level for decades, but the city increased it in the early 1990s to 10,000 square feet for Urban Residence 1 and 9,000 for Urban Residence 2. At the time, Wallace said, trends in housing development were then geared toward larger homes that were more spread out across the city — sprawl, essentially.
“Society as a whole was in a different place,” Wallace said. “It was a more automobile-centric time, and the focus was on bigger spaces with lots of parking.”
Those changes resulted in many existing homes on smaller lots suddenly being non-compliant with the city’s development standards. Homeowners on those lots were not allowed to put on a new deck or add a new garage, build an addition to their home or do other significant renovations, such as electrical, plumbing or heating system upgrades.
Over the past 30 years, Wallace said, this had the cumulative effect of preventing some property owners from being able to keep up with required maintenance, resulting in a decline in quality of the overall housing stock.
The goal of decreasing in-town lot size requirements is to encourage denser housing development and improving existing housing, Wallace said.
“Say a property really ought to be knocked down, but the lot size is too small for rebuilding. That can stall development,” Wallace said. “Also, projects often make more financial sense with more units. This will open up more possibilities in the URD-2 zone, which allows up to four units.”
The change in lot size was one of a number of recommendations made by the Bangor Housing Work Group, which formed in 2018 to examine how the city could make housing more affordable.
That group’s report also addressed the problem of condemned properties, which can hurt neighborhoods by becoming eyesores and attracting squatters and vandals, as well by simply taking up valuable housing space while being empty.
In 2016, there were around 200 condemned, or “placarded” properties in Bangor. But that number had fallen to 152 by August 2019, as the city took a more proactive approach to dealing with the properties, rather than letting them languish. There are now 124 on the list.
One roadblock to either rehabilitating or demolishing condemned properties was the fact that many of those properties were in ownership limbo, with banks initiating foreclosure proceedings but not finishing the process. In 2020, however, Wallace said he saw an uptick in the number of banks completing the foreclosure process on some of those properties in Bangor.
“We’ve actually seen more action by banks to move some of these properties and get people in them that will give them some love,” he said. “[Bangor was] one of the last places to be affected by the housing bubble in 2008, and now we’re some of the last to have the fallout from that be addressed. Now we’re finally seeing some movement.”
While other recommendations from the Bangor Housing Work Group are still works in progress, one of them, the creation of a public rental registry that would track inspections and code violations in rental properties, was ready to launch last year, but has been delayed due to the pandemic. The registry would be funded by landlord fees.
“Given the tenuous nature of the rental market, including possible evictions due to COVID and unemployment, we did not feel it was time to bring forward another fee-for-service program,” said Tanya Emery, the city’s community and economic development director.
Going forward, Wallace said, the city may look to decrease the number of off-street parking spots required for multi-unit properties. Currently, multi-unit properties require at least two parking spaces per unit — using up space that developers could instead use for housing. Such a change might involve removing the city’s on-street parking ban in residential neighborhoods during the winter months.
“Those parking requirements eat up a lot of space on a small lot,” Wallace said. “I think we’ll start working on bringing that idea forward, perhaps doing a test run in a neighborhood in Bangor just to see how it goes, and then evaluate it from there.


Millennials are surrounded by symphonies.
Whether the mechanical purr of your local cafe’s coffee grinder, the whir of an overworked hard drive, the hum of heavy traffic or the familiar bassline from your favourite song, for most of us, existing in a world of predictable sounds and patterns has become second nature.
But other rhythms are undetectable. These are the ones that inhabit the fringes of conscious perception. With sources that range from smartphones and tablets to laptops, WiFi HotSpots, TV screens, radio, and even the human heart, electromagnetic waves are as unremitting as they are essential to modern life.
Which raises the question: What, if any, impact does exposure to electromagnetic emissions have on our health and what can we do about it?
According to sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), the detrimental physical impact of being allergic to Wi-Fi is severe enough to warrant measures such as living away from metropolitan areas and avoiding conventional office work.
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) – An Allergy To Technology
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is characterised by a group of symptoms believed by the sufferer to be caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Fans of Better Call Saul, the spin-off series to Breaking Bad, will be familiar with EHS as lead character, Chuck McGill’s aversion to technology manifests in his wrapping himself in a foil blanket to combat the ill-effects of electromagnetic fields.
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity – Fact or Fiction
Many healthcare professionals dispute the characterisation of EHS as a legitimate medical condition, claiming that it is purely a physiological manifestation of a psychological disorder. Basically, that a widespread belief that something may be harmful to your health will lead to the development of symptoms that substantiate those beliefs.
While the World Health Organisation recognises that symptoms of EHS are real and can have a significant disabling effect for the affected individual, scientific research to date has not provided evidence to support the connection between electromagnetic frequency exposure and the symptoms of EHS such as dizziness, nausea, heart palpitations, and redness, tingling, and burning sensations on the skin.
The majority of scientific studies published to date have found that under controlled laboratory conditions, EHS individuals cannot detect the presence of EMF sources any more accurately than non-EHS individuals. Several studies have indicated a nocebo effect i.e. an adverse effect due to the belief that something is harmful” Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
In spite of a lack of scientific evidence, approximately 4% of people living in the UK report unpleasant symptoms as a result of exposure to electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, Wi-Fi HotSpots and other household appliances.
Mild cases have lead sufferers to avoid shopping malls, electrical stores, friends houses and even offices that are filled with computers and other electrical equipment. On the extreme end of the spectrum, some EHS individuals choose to become reclusive and live in isolated communities known as “EMF-free zones.”
Legal Situation Overseas
In the first case of its kind in France this month, a court in Marseilles has recognised a woman’s symptoms of EHS as a medical disability and awarded her £580 per month for three years. Her symptoms, described as an allergy to Wi-Fi or electromagnetic fields, have forced her to move to a rural area and have prevented her from normal work. France joins countries such as Sweden and Canada who recognise EHS as a physical impairment.
Earlier this year, the French National Assembly also made history by passing a new national law that regulates electromagnetic field exposure. The new legislation provides that:
- Wi-Fi will be prohibited in nurseries and day care centres
- Wi-Fi will be minimized in schools by switching Wi-Fi routers off when not in use for educational purposes
- The board of the school should be informed when new tech equipment is being installed in schools
- Cell tower emission compliance will be verified meaning that the limits of emissions of electronic communications or transmission to which the public is exposed will be defined
- Citizens will have access to environmental/cell tower radiation measurements near homes
- A map of all antennas will be produced for each town, along with action to limit public exposure in areas where electromagnetic fields exceed the limited levels
- Continued evaluation of health effects by the National Radiofrequency Agency to evaluate potential risks and set up scientific research
- Specific absorption rate (SAR) radiation labelling is mandatory for mobile phone packaging
- Information on ways to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields is mandatory on mobile phone packaging
- Wi-Fi Hotspots will be labeled clearly with a picture
- Advertisements must recommend devices that reduce radiation exposure to the brain. For example, mobile phone adverts should recommend hands free kits and be included in the package
- Companies failing to comply with this requirements will be fined 75,000 Euros
- Equipment reducing cell phone radiation exposures to the head for children less than 14 years should be provided, if requested by the buyer
- Within a year, information and awareness on the responsible and reasonable use of mobile phones and other equipment that emits electromagnetic frequencies will be established
A report on electromagnetic hypersensitivity is to be submitted to Parliament within one year
Professor Ian Lowe explains why many countries are placing restrictions on Wi-Fi usage:
You can never get into trouble as a regulator for being too cautious. Most regulators would say that it is better to have a regulation that sets the bar lower than it needs to be than to find out later that it should have been set higher. If the community express concern, regulators tend to respond to that by tightening up.” Watch the full interview via ABC’s, The Drum
Legal Situation in Australia
In 2013, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) ruled in favour of a worker whose symptoms of EHS had been worsened in the course of his work at the CSIRO and ordered Comcare to pay compensation.
The Tribunal found that the worker had suffered when an underlying sensitivity to electromagnetic frequencies was compounded by several failed trials of specially-designed office equipment such as a Blackberry, PDA device and computer encased in a faraday cage. The equipment had been intended to minimise the effects of electromagnetic waves and to allow the worker to perform his duties in an office environment.
How Could The AAT Recognise Harm To A Worker When EHS Is Unsubstantiated By Science?
In this case, the core issue of whether Comcare was liable to pay compensation centred around whether the worker had suffered an injury within the meaning of subsection 14(1) of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988.
In determining this, it was necessary to determine whether:
- The worker suffered an ailment within the meaning of subsection 4(1) of the Act
- If so, whether he suffered an aggravation of that ailment?
- If so, whether the aggravation of the ailment contributed, to a significant degree, to the worker’s employment by CSIRO?
After hearing from expert witnesses ranging from medical practitioners to non-medical experts, the AAT was satisfied that the symptoms described by the worker were accurate. The worker genuinely believed that he suffered from EHS and this belief was confirmed by his doctor.
Although Comcare argued that electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome is not an ailment, since there is no diagnostic criteria for such a condition, the AAT rejected this argument on the basis that:
The definition of ailment does not require that it be a condition which fits within a particular diagnostic criteria,” AAT Deputy President, Mr JW. Constance.
The AAT was satisfied that the worker had suffered an ailment, even though it may not be one that has a recognised diagnostic label. The court also found that the worker was exposed to increased electromagnetic frequencies at work, causing the symptoms from which he suffered to become worse than they were before the work trials started. That is, the actions of the CSIRO caused the worker’s pre-existing condition to become aggravated.
The main issue here is whether harm was suffered by a worker in the course of his duties, rather than whether the EHS condition exists at all. The worker’s belief that he had EHS, and that the disorder was aggravated by his exposure to electromagnetic frequencies during trials undertaken by his employer, was sufficient evidence that harm had been caused to the worker in the course of his employment and that compensation should be awarded.
The intersection between the law, science and technology can yield some interesting and unexpected results.
With the law often playing catch-up to rapid developments in the fields of science and technology, in coming years it will be interesting to monitor developments in these powerhouse industries and the potential flow on effects for modern society.
What do you think about the interaction between law and science? Is the jury still out on EHS? You be the judge and let us know what you would have decided in the comments section below!

Hello Permies. After lurking for too long and biding my time, I have moved again to my long term property. A lot of hard work and generous people have helped me acquire a 1/2 acre homestead in Rutland Vermont. It has three mature apple trees, a proudicing young pear, sprawling grapes, asparagus, berries, HUGE comfrey patch (blk 14), 20+ raised beds, open meadow, and many more suprises in store. Before getting into the details of everything, I must officially relegate the previous Pancakery project log to the history books. It served me well to record my various permie projects across my journey to a permanent patch of land. The old log can be found HERE
So now onto my piece of heaven. The lot is roughly 90'x200'. Mostly level with a slight depression towards the far(east) end of the property. The house is circa 1870, updated electrical/insulation/walls/fixtures a few years ago. The previous owner had taken the entire lot from grass to the raised beds, herb spiral, fruit trees etc. After working on the yard for 5 years, she devoted her attention to updating the house, leaving the yard fallow for three years. Needless to say the garden areas were overgrown 6' tall. The google image below shows the property while still in working order, it is NOT this clean and mowed now. The herb spiral has since turned into a 20'x20' comfrey patch.
And a closer look at the cultivated areas.
I have cleared the overgrown beds in the larger bed area. Two of the three apple trees are in the beds. It went from jungle to messy garden. I did not even know there were beds under all these overgrown plants! My goal for the coming summer is to mulch and cover crop these beds enough to have some semblance of a proudctive garden. I came up with a list of plants I want to grow in the beds, and a rough sketch of the primary plantings. There will be poly cultures built around the main crop plants, but it's not fully fleshed out in the sketch.
I have a woody plant list too. But have yet to make a larger map of the yard and overall plan of what goes where. I need to trim and train the fruit trees and grapes, so that might be my woody plant goal this year. Availability and time will be the true decider on how much woody plant gardening I get done.
I have a lot of planning and work ahead of me, but this is what I have been striving towards. Working a plot of land as an urban homestead. Thanks for reading so far, and I will keep adding more progress as it progresses. Here is my mountain view of Killington to send this post off. . . . . .

Stocks have rallied to begin a historically weak month.
The S&P 500 has risen 3% in the past two days, bucking what is seasonally a rough February stretch – the index has been flat on average during that month over the past 15 years.
The market has even more historical trends rooting against it. The S&P 500 traditionally underperforms from February into early March in the first year of a new presidency as Washington, D.C., and Wall Street process a change of leadership, according to LPL Research.
Michael Bapis, managing director at Vios Advisors at Rockefeller Capital, said weakness equals opportunity.
"We continue to see volatility I think that's driven by short-term trading," Bapis told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Monday. "We look to buy on dips right now because there is so much cash on the sidelines that people are just waiting for the time to jump in."
The VIX volatility index, a "fear" gauge that represents investors' expectations for future moves, traded above 25 on Tuesday. It spiked above 37 last week. Last week marked its largest spike since June.
"In the near term, we definitely think GARP, growth at a reasonable price, [is a buy]. I think you are going to see a rotation into that and into value. A lot of these companies haven't moved yet, so we are looking for dividend yield given the interest rates, looking for value and quality companies," Bapis added.
Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, said it's not just seasonal weakness that could impact markets. He said last week's short squeeze in GameStop and the subsequent S&P 500 market sell-off are a sign of a growing problem for markets.
"I'm a little concerned because of what happened last week, this whole thing with the speculative fervor in the marketplace," Maley said in the same interview. "When we saw this sell-off in the market last week, it was forced selling, it came from a huge amount of leverage in the system. … What it tells me is that, at some point, some of that margin debt, that leverage, is going to be unwound."
Should, say, the Covid-19 variants worsen the pandemic, he said that could exacerbate the situation.
"If that causes some unwinding of leverage, that will cause some problems, although I do think it will create a great buying opportunity. But I just think it will be a deep correction," Maley said.

The Remuneration Board is responsible for setting the pay, pensions and allowances of Members of the Senedd and Members support staff.
On 6 May the National Assembly for Wales became the Welsh Parliament, to be commonly known as Senedd. As a result, references on this site in documents and links reflect the change of name, referring to the institution as the ‘Assembly’ in a historic context (prior to 6 May) and ‘Senedd’ thereafter.
The rules surrounding what they are entitled to claim for are contained within the Determination. The chapters of the Determination are summarised below:
Chapter 1 – The Principles of financial support: Financial support and remuneration for Members should support the strategic purpose of the Senedd and facilitate the work of its Members; decisions must be appropriate within the context of Welsh earnings and the wider financial circumstances of Wales; and the system of financial support for Members must be robust, clear, transparent, sustainable and represent value for money for the taxpayer.
Chapter 2 – Rules for submission of claims: Rules aiming to support the principles underpinning the reimbursement of expenses.
Chapter 3 – Members’ Remuneration: This includes the salary which all Members and Office Holders within the Senedd and Welsh Government are entitled to receive and details of their pension scheme.
Chapter 4 – Residential Accommodation Expenditure: The amount Members can be reimbursed for staying overnight away from their main homes in connection to their role as Member of the Senedd. This is subject to their main home being in the inner, intermediate or outer area.
Chapter 5 – Members’ travel: Deals with types of travel on Senedd Business by Members. Also includes travel undertaken by Members’ partners, children and staff.
Chapter 6 – Office costs: Allowance to reimburse Members all reasonable costs relating to the running of their office and engaging with constituents.
Chapter 7 – Support for Senedd Members: Staffing expenditure costs to enable the performance of the Member’s duties as a Member of the Senedd.
Chapter 8 – Support for Political Parties: Assist parties and individual Members in discharging their work in the Senedd.
Chapter 9 – Members leaving office: Assists those who are no longer Members to complete any work that was in progress at the time they ceased to be a Member.
Any changes to the Determination must be subject to a consultation with those likely to be affected by its decision.
Annual review of the Determination
The Board regularly considers if any changes to the Determination are needed in advance of the next financial year to ensure the remuneration package is sufficient. Following the Board’s meeting in January 2019 it consulted on following for the 2019-20 Determination:
- to increase the Residential Accommodation Expenditure allowance for outer area Members by 2.4 per cent in line with the CPI rate for September 2018.
- to increase the Residential Accommodation Expenditure allowance for intermediate area Member to £6,840 per annum and to extend the use of the allowance.
The Board will consider the response at its March meeting.
Effectiveness of the Determination
In 2017 the Board issued a survey to all Assembly Members and Assembly Member support staff seeking their views on the effectiveness of the Determination. The results will be used by the Board to inform its future work on the Determination. A summary of the results has been published in the Board’s annual report 2017-18.

Whilst Christmas time is for most people a happy and joyous time it can be a struggle for people who have lost loved ones. It can be a very lonely time and memories become ever more precious.
We understand this through all the lovely people we have worked with throughout this year. It is so fulfilling to be able to transform a bag of clothes into a life story. It may only be apparent to the loved one's family but they are the important ones, the only ones that matter, their memories crafted into fabric.
Whether they are for military personnel for whom we have designed a lot of quilts or artists such as the quilt below depicting the designs of a sculptor, they are all carefully and sensitively designed. A beautiful handcrafted and unique representation of a person's life.
We have many testimonials on our website that our customers have written as we are aware this is a big decision and may put your mind at rest. You can read them here www.alittlebitofnice.com
Please contact us through our website or Facebook page if you would like to discuss having a quilt designed and made as we are now taking orders for 2016 and would love to hear from you.
Love Karen and Julie xx

I don't always step back from work, and take a look at the bigger picture of what Salt & Sand has become, and what our store represents.
I go to work, I open the store, and at the end of the day I lock the door and come home. I plan the week's jobs and tasks, project a little ahead, and continue with the day to day small business world. When I do break from routine, and take a moment to think about the big things - our purpose, our values, and our people - it's a pretty uplifting, heart-bursting picture.
We are a store for women, run by women, and every day we are privileged to meet people from all stages of life and many diverse backgrounds.
In the lead up to the busy season late last year, we put a call out to some of our favourite faces to join us for a photoshoot to both celebrate how far our store has come, and to generate some more content for our website and socials.
I sent the invites, and worried that no one would respond. Frankly, if I was asked the same, I'm not sure I would've been brave enough to say yes!
Slowly, the replies rolled in and we received one excited yes after another. I couldn't believe it, and I was so humbled that all these incredible women were willing to take time out of their busy schedules, pop on their favourite outfit, and stand on a freezing beach with us for a few hours.
Watching my vision come to life that evening, and seeing our favourite people meet each other and make new friends was surreal. A group of women of all ages who had come together to celebrate our store.
It was only when I was explaining the background to an outfit choice for one of the guests that another lady remarked how amazing it was that we knew so much about each person there.
So often I take for granted the access we gain to your world when you enter our store. What may start as a simple "Hello, how are you?" has the potential to turn into a lasting friendship.
I am always in awe of the stories Sal manages to glean from her customers. She will often report to me after a work day who she's been chatting to or had the pleasure of meeting, and the overviews are always filled with life and colour and detail. Maybe an artist from central Victoria who paints the most incredible koalas, or maybe a lady who grew up in the Western District and now lives on a pineapple farm in QLD.
We've met so many beautiful faces through our store, heard some incredible stories, and been there for every kind of life occasion. I've said so many times before that it is the people that make this small business journey so special, and that only rings more true every year.
. . .
Our photoshoot was our third collaboration with local photographer Claire Davie, and she has been nothing short of brilliant on every occasion. She is enthusiastic, she directs novice models with ease, and I think even the most nervous among us felt a little more calm with her behind the lens. It makes me so proud and happy to see Claire absolutely dominating in her chosen profession, and I am in awe of the creative, flourishing business she has built in our local community.
We also roped in Sarah from Acacia Edibles to feed our crowd with a gourmet grazing table which was devoured with glee by our guests. Sarah's catered a few of our events now, and her love of food comes through in every bite. She is also a huge supporter of other local businesses when assembling her grazing options, and there is so much thought and heart behind every mouthful.
It is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to work with women like Claire and Sarah, and I am deeply committed to continuing to use Salt & Sand to champion other local women in business wherever we can. We have some brilliant ladies within our area, and it seems only fair that they are celebrated and supported in their business journeys too.
. . .
Beyond our customers and our collaborators, one of the unexpected highlights of shop life for me has been mentoring the next generation of young women.
I was lucky enough to have some brilliant role models as I started my working life, and it's probably only as I've found myself in their shoes now that I fully appreciate the impact that a mentor can have. I hope that we have created a space for our team that is safe, comfortable and rewarding, and that they know our relationships will go far beyond the years they spend behind our counter.
Our first junior employee from many summers ago is now in her dream job in Melbourne, absolutely flourishing, and she's about to head off travelling - if I'm lucky, we'll catch up for a coffee before she flies out. Few things have made me more proud than watching our girls succeed, both within and far beyond our store. I hope that their chapter at Salt & Sand will always be a bright spot in their story.
Ever since I took over Salt & Sand, I've had many niggling questions about our purpose. Why are we doing this? What is driving us? What is our goal?
Every answer comes back to women, and to creating a community in which they are valued, celebrated and supported.
I am so incredibly proud to be a woman in business, and to work in a space where women are at the very centre. Thank you to our beautiful customers and friends for sharing your lives with us.
You are always welcome at Salt & Sand, and it is our privilege to be part of your story.
Happy International Women's Day!!

Guaranteed Rate Field
The White Sox are the polar opposites of their intracity rivals, the Cubs, in many ways, and you can count their stadiums among the reasons why. While Wrigley Field gets lauded (and rightfully so) for being an old-timey, brick-and-steel structure nestled in a trendy neighborhood, the White Sox’s Guaranteed Rate Field is a barely modern concrete stadium in a far less vibrant area, lacking both the history and charm that makes Wrigley so celebrated.
And don’t get us started on the name changes. What once was the second coming of Comiskey Park gave in to corporate naming rights and became U.S. Cellular Field, and then Guaranteed Rate Field in 2016 to the chagrin of many. Other than the name, blame circumstance for the yard’s lack of charisma — it was constructed just before asymmetrical, retro ballparks became all the rage, dooming it to become a concrete relic even before it could celebrate a decade of existence.
Still, watching a game at Guaranteed Rate Field isn’t all bad. South Siders, like their team, are rarely about flash and gimmicks — with them, what you see is what you get. As long as you’re not all about fancy bells and whistles, you’ll be able to enjoy a night at this ballpark as much as any other in the majors.
- The Approach
Access to Guaranteed Rate Field isn’t much of a problem, what with a major highway and the CTA train, known around town as the “L,” running right by it. Interstate 90, aka the Dan Ryan Expressway, is the primary route of choice for drivers coming from the Loop, Near North or other points north; exit at 35th Street to get to the ballpark, which you’ll undoubtedly have spotted on the approach from at least a couple miles away. Click here for more detailed driving directions.
Parking lots are available on both the north and south sides of 35th Street once you pass Wentworth Avenue (that includes Lot G, on the opposite side of the elevated train tracks that run just west of the park). Parking typically costs $20, and advance purchase permits are available; credit cards are also accepted at fare booths when you enter. For more information, click here.
For “L” riders, the closest station to Guaranteed Rate Field is Sox/35th (conveniently named for the uninitiated) on the Red Line, which runs through the Loop area and also goes to Wrigley Field. The station is along the Dan Ryan Expressway so riders just need to go up to street level and cross Wentworth to reach the park. You can also reach the park via the Green Line; disembark at 35th-Bronzeville-IIT, though know it’s a walk of about three extra blocks.
- The Build-Up
With neighborhoods, a high school and a church nearby, you’d be right to assume there isn’t a whole lot to do around Guaranteed Rate Field before first pitch. That shouldn’t be much of a problem, though, especially if you choose to take the L in. Just hang out in one of the city’s more vibrant areas and then hop on the train. Unless it’s a weekend day or a big game for the White Sox, crowds aren’t usually a problem for those riding to the game.
If you must be in the vicinity of the ballpark earlier than that, there is one option. Directly across 35th Street is the Chicago Sports Depot, a large retail store devoted to sports merchandise for all of the Windy City’s teams. Next door is the ChiSox Bar and Grill, a fairly large sports pub where you can eat, drink, catch other games and so on. Both establishments are open whether it’s a gameday or not. The adjoining parking structure is attached to the ballpark across the street via two pedestrian bridges.
While you’re in the area, take a look at the parking lot just north of the Chicago Sports Depot. Just off the curb is a marker in the asphalt noting the spot of home plate at the old Comiskey Park, the venue the White Sox called home for 80 years before building the current digs across the street.
- The Ambiance
The White Sox have a long and rich history, even if it didn’t include a championship team for quite a long time (the crosstown Cubs’ 108-year curse that ended in 2016 overshadowed the fact that it took the Sox 88 seasons to overcome their own drought, winning the World Series in 2005). Meanwhile, the Sox’s fans tend to be more of the blue-collar type, especially in comparison to their North Side rivals. Both factor greatly into the gameday experience at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The new ballpark’s most obvious tribute to the old one is the main scoreboard behind center field, known as the “exploding scoreboard” for the fact that it lights up and fireworks shoot from it whenever a Sox player homers or the team wins (the term was coined by former team owner Bill Veeck, who first had such a scoreboard installed at the old Comiskey).
Speaking of the outfield, the concourse behind the bleachers is popular before and during games. There’s a party patio above it, in center field, as well as the Bullpen Sports Bar below it (in right field, at field level) and a kids’ play area in left field.
In a food town with as much to offer as Chicago does, the concessions options at Guaranteed Rate Field doesn’t disappoint. But it sticks to the meat-and-potatoes of local cuisine, so items such as Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian and Polish sausages and Italian beef sandwiches are all available. The names of White Sox legends are all over the food stands, too, so you’ll come across booths like “Sherm Lollar’s Guard the Plate Grill” and “Dick Allen’s Rooftop Dogs and Polish” throughout the park.

Ashanti Regional Minister, Samuel Sarpong has rubbished allegations he is sabotaging Kumasi Mayor, Kojo Bonsu.
Some members of the Metropolitan Assembly have been accusing Mr. Sarpong of employing ‘different tactics’ to frustrate the mayor.
Matters got to a head when the regional minister assumed oversight responsibility for the assembly after Mr. Bonsu went on leave.
Dr. Sarpong on Monday spearheaded a decongestion exercise in the absence of the Mayor but the assembly members say the exercise was without the approval of the general assembly.
The agitated assembly members are therefore questioning the motives for the exercise, which they claim was in breach of assembly’s by-laws.
Member for Kwadaso North, Eric Assibey, tells Nhyira FM’s Kro yi mu Nsem, Dr. Sarpong’s action was a waste of the assembly’s resources as traders have returned to the streets, three days after the exercise.
“The mayor had no basis usurping the mayor’s authority to organize decongestion exercises,” he said.
According to him, no notice was given to the traders to evacuate the place or provision made for an alternative place to move them to.
Dr. Sarpong, however, described the accusations as “baseless” and an attempt to rather cripple the assembly’s operations.
He said he sought the consent of Mr. Bonsu before the exercise.
Dr. Sarpong warned he will deal ruthlessly with the assembly members if they attempt to pitch him against the mayor.
“I have no squabbles with Kojo Bonsu and, therefore, let me warn those boys on any attempt to create such impression…we are in the same government and serving one person so why should l sabotage Kojo Bonsu?” he asked.
