Cole and Branden make up the band The Tonins who are local to Tacoma Washington. Cole Contacted me for a photoshoot and to be quite frank, they were some of the most fun people I have met! After Cole booked me my friend and I basically binged their music to get their vibe before we shot. We met at Wright Park, shot their for barely 10 minutes and knew we need a bright city, urban vibe so we piled in their white van and made our way to Stadium High School. This place wasn't far from where I lived but this high school was like Hogwarts in the way it looked. These two had something in mind I wouldn't have even thought about. "Satanic Mormons" was their ending look. Our Singer Branden added some suspenders and a red tie to top off his look. The dedication of these guys is awesome and I am bummed to have missed their last show at the Spanish Ballroom at The Elks Temple in Tacoma. Book them so I can finally come to one of their shows.

Review: Becoming by Michelle Obama
Although Becoming was released in November of 2018, it wasn’t until recently that I finally had the opportunity to read it. A memoir by former First Lady Michelle Obama, Becoming is organized into three sections, “Becoming Me,” “Becoming Us,” and “Becoming More,” that bring readers on Mrs. Obama’s journey through several key elements of her life, including her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, her marriage and life with Barack Obama and their daughters, and her experience as the First Lady of the United States of America. I have always loved hearing Michelle Obama speak, and that same strong, intelligent, and elegant voice is portrayed in her writing. I found Becoming to be a very engaging memoir, and there were many important takeaways I had from reading it.
1.Be aware of your surroundings and any changes that may be occurring: Michelle Obama discusses how she was always a very observant and opinionated individual. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Mrs. Obama discusses that the area wasn’t always as Black-populated as it is now. When she was in elementary school, her class at Bryn Mawr Elementary School had a fair number of white students as well, but the number of non-black students dwindled significantly as the years passed because more and more white families were moving to the suburbs. Through her observations and awareness of the concept of race from a young age, Mrs. Obama was able to become a more thoughtful and societally-competent individual. She would take these experiences and ideas into the future as a law student and woman of great power.
2. People with authority may not always be correct: When Michelle Obama was in her senior year of high school and applying to colleges, her school guidance counselor told her that she wasn’t “Princeton material.” Instead of taking this as a set-back, Mrs. Obama stayed confident and reached out to other individuals in her school and community to help support her through the process. She successfully gained admission to Princeton University, the school of her choice, proving to herself (and to her guidance counselor) that she was, in fact, Princeton material. Big takeaway: it’s important to always believe in yourself and not let one’s title intimidate you.
3. Don’t underestimate yourself just because the people around you seem smarter. At Princeton, Michelle Obama found herself to be a definite minority, both as an African American student and as a woman. Princeton, primarily white and male, was intimidating at first and Mrs. Obama felt that she may not belong. However, as she immersed herself in her classes and participated in the discussions, she realized that although the other students may have had a stronger educational foundation than she did, that didn’t make them smarter than her. Michelle Obama realized that she was a valuable member of the classroom, and this helped her succeed as a student at Princeton.
4. Do what makes you happy. Life may be shorter than you think. One of Michelle Obama’s closest friends at Princeton was a woman named Suzanne Alele. Joining college as a pre-med student to satisfy her parents’ wishes, Suzanne soon realized that it wasn’t the path for her. She was lighthearted and loved parties, and she did what made her happy. Suzanne decided to travel after her years at Princeton, and Michelle Obama initially thought Suzanne wasn’t making the best use of her Princeton education. However, when Suzanne lost her fight to cancer and died at a very young age, Mrs. Obama felt that it was good that Suzanne had spent her life being free-spirited and doing the things she loved. Life may be shorter than we think, so we should always work to live each day the way we want.
5. It’s okay to not always have a plan: Michelle Obama discusses how she was always very keen on organization and having a plan. Describing her journey from Princeton to Harvard Law School to her job as a lawyer at the firm Sidley Austin, she tells readers that she compared her accomplishments to checking off boxes on big list of plans for her life. However, this changed after she met Barack Obama, who was spontaneous and chose to pursue his interests and take life as it came. Mrs. Obama realized that life didn’t always have to be so planned out, and sometimes success could be achieved by taking advantage of opportunities that came one’s way and through hard work.
6. It’s okay to ask for help. The transition to the White House was understandably difficult. Through words of encouragement and support from her brother Craig, Michelle Obama made the decision to move to the White House with her husband and family. She requested her mother to help her take care of Malia and Sasha during this process, allowing her to ultimately take control of and adjust to the situation without feeling extremely overwhelmed and burned out. Receiving help can allow an individual sort out their life and can actually help them be more productive.
Both an interesting and informative read, I learned many important life lessons from Becoming. This is a very empowering book, especially for young women. Becoming is definitely a must-read, and is a great book for the summer if you haven’t already read it!

Distributors can improve shipping predictability and decrease costs by reevaluating how they receive product from their suppliers. This article looks at how LTL is a little-considered option but can cost half that of parcel delivery and a third of overnight air deliveries.
Beyond renegotiating existing contracts, many wholesale distribution executives don't consider changes that can be made to shipping procedures to save money and improve cash flow.
It's like this is the way we've been doing it for so long, we don't think that there is another way, says Doug Savage, president of Bearing Service Inc., Livonia, MI.
But reevaluating shipping options and processes to get product from the manufacturer to the distributor can lead to significant savings while at the same time improving your own customer service. Options such as Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping have become more accessible and more efficient over the past 25 to 30 years.
LTL usually involves shipments of more than 200 pounds but less than 20,000 pounds, depending on the actual items being shipped. The cost can be half that of standard ground parcel delivery and less than a third of overnight air deliveries.
Changing the Mindset
One of the biggest factors in changing the way orders are shipped to the distributor is changing the mindset of the purchasing agents, Savage says. Currently, distributors tend to ask when an item will be shipped as opposed to when it will be received.
"I was paying my bills online and realized that I tell them when the payment needs to be there, not when they need to send it," he says. "Something clicked and I realized that that's how we should be doing our business, as well."
Shifting to a need-by date rather than a ship-by date can provide the manufacturer with latitude to determine the most cost-effective way to ship the order to meet that need. "If I say an item needs to be shipped on UPS on Tuesday, knowing that UPS will get it to me on Friday, I will pay the cost of parcel delivery," Savage says. "What I may not know is letting the manufacturer ship it LTL on Monday night could get it to me by Friday as well but at a third of the cost."
Consolidating multiple orders from a manufacturer into a single order can also improve options available for shipping. It doesn't necessarily require distributors to change the way they place their orders; but distributors need to allow the manufacturers to put those orders together at the shipping deadline.
Don Louis, president of CoLinx, a not-for-profit logistics and e-commerce company owned by a group of manufacturers, points out that the decision on how to ship can be made on the loading dock when all orders are together. If there are 25 50-pound orders from one company, they can be consolidated into one 1,250-pound LTL delivery.
"Some distributors are starting to realize they're not getting as good of service as they could be," Louis says. "By giving manufacturers the flexibility to make the shipping mode decision at the dock, we can use all the facts to determine the best option."
While providing that latitude may feel like giving up some of your decision-making power, Savage says the reality is that you never had power in the first place: "You really never had a say in how things were shipped; you were telling them when to ship it and tying the manufacturer's hands for options."
Some distributors have tried to consolidate on their own, Louis says. But usually that means that they hold the orders on their desks for as long as they can, which often adds extra days between order receipt and order invoice.
When cutoff times are missed, an order is either delayed, or shipped via a higher cost mode. Instead, Louis advises distributors should measure and minimize minutes between order receipt and order
Often the perception is that standard parcel delivery through UPS or FedEx will be quicker than using LTL delivery. While that may have been true in the past, today LTL can often provide faster service than the parcel carriers.
One of the biggest benefits we've gotten from LTL shipping is the schedule. For many of our distributors, if an order is placed by 5 p.m., it will be shipped by 11 p.m. and be received by the next morning," says Daniel Muller, president of Distribution and Services for the Bearings and Power Transmission group of The Timken Company, Canton, OH. Parcel delivery options can take up to three days for the same deliveries.
This leads to improved customer service in addition to reduced shipping costs. "Because we have scheduled pick-ups and deliveries with our LTL carriers, our customers know exactly when they're going to receive their orders and can rely on those deliveries each day," Muller says.
Because Timken is one of the owners of CoLinx, it is able to leverage extra volume from other member companies to ensure that their pick-ups meet that LTL shipping standard. But by implementing a few changes to how shipping decisions are made, even smaller manufacturers can take advantage of the savings available.
Muller does warn that long-haul deliveries may sometimes take longer, because of the transfers between trucks and routes along the way. But most delivery times will still be comparable if not better than standard parcel. The big parcel players have recognized the benefits of offering LTL services. UPS acquired Overnite Transportation Co. in April 2005 and at that time began to offer the order consolidation option.
Using LTL can not only decrease the cost of delivery, it can help improve cash flow. As the economy tightens and manufacturers invoice products as soon as they ship, distributors are dealing with a shrinking time between receipt of product and payment due date. And when it comes to logistics, cash flow is directly related to time.
"Distributors are finding ways to reduce the days between order receipt and collection of receivables by better understanding logistics choices," Louis says.
Business executives are learning that "cash is not a concept," Louis says. Cash flow, particularly in tight economies, is essential to providing a continued high level of service to your customers. Fast delivery from manufacturers is needed for both the distributor's balance sheet and their service reputation, he says. Minutes, hours and predictability count.
Consistent service also helps manufacturers build their reputation. "If a company knows we will get their items to them when we say we will, and save them money doing it, they're going to trust us to continue doing that in the future," Muller says.
Having that solid relationship helps improve communication and understanding of each other's needs. Louis advises that now is also good time to start building relationships with the LTL companies. "Once this recession is over, there will likely be an equipment shortage," he says.
Because of reduced order volumes, trucks that were in use in the U.S. have been sent overseas for use in developing countries. And because of cutbacks in the automotive industry and new regulations, truck availability may not be there when the orders start returning.
"If the LTL company knows that you're a good customer in down times, and you have that relationship, they'll find a way to get you capacity when there is a shortage."

Ostriches are native to Central and Southern Africa, which maybe explains why they are not traditionally eaten more often in the West. As a side word, lamb is fattier than both beef or pork which makes it less liable to drying out while cooking, however for the well being conscious attempt to fry off as much fat as you may. The explanation I really feel that means is that I cook so most of the identical dishes and recipes that my mom used to make.

Juxtapoz 15th Anniversary Art Auction: Date FarmersJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 09 Dec 2009
Just realized that Christmas is getting increasingly closer? The Juxtapoz Art Auction is still live until Dec. 17th at CharityBuzz.com and is a great place to pick up terrific pieces from renowned artists.
Today we feature the piece donated by the Date Farmers a collaborative work between artists Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma.
Originally from Indio, California, the two attribute their paintings, collages, and three-dimensional pieces to inspiration from Mexican-American traditional values and contemporary west coast culture. The artists look to graffiti, Mexican street murals, traditional revolutionary posters, sign painting, prison art and tattoos for their influence.
The Date Farmers prefer to use scavenged materials, often found near their desert homes in southern California and nearby Mexico. “Using stuff that was thrown away is Mexican ingenuity. People’s idea of art is that it’s really expensive and [made of] nice materials, but found objects are so abundant, they’re much easier and freeing for us.”

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Ken Balough Interview
Check out our interview with digital brand manager Ken Balough and a teaser trailer for Sonic 4: Episode 2.
@Mario_sonic_man --> I'm with you, Mario_sonic_man. I don't see why they avoided releasing the game on the Wii when episode 1 was released on it. I mean I don't buy games on my Wii to download but it would just make sense to release episode 2 on the Wii also. Sad really...
why did they cancel the wii release? D: how else am i gonna put sonic episode 1 and 2 togeather now?
I never was a fan of Sonic until Sonic generations.By a strange way I felt like was playing like the oldtimes but with the new features like the 3d scenarios .Very cool game.I hope this new Sonic game will be as cool and I can overlook that strange bear.
Smashing out Sonic Generations right now with my nephew. Quite a change from COD, GT5 and FIFA12. Its WAY easier than the original but its really fun and easy to pick up. This Ken dude needs to get laid.
wow this game looks suck, if i bought it i would buy it on ps3 just cause xbox sucks so bad but im sure this game will suck like most other sonic games o well
I love episode one looking forward to episode 2. will buy it on xbox 360. wish i could have the windows phone version for free when buying on xbox because when i buy it on xbox i will not want to spend money on the same game on windows phone.
I feel uncomfortable with his facial hair. Because Tails... his tails are usually around his butt region... so on his face?... Anyways. I didn't think they were even going to release Episode 2, but I'm glad they changed things up. Anyone else find it hilarious at the end that he left out the Wii?
90% of the time, I find Sonic games very playable and reasonably fun, however rushed and hurriedly cobbled together they tend to be these days. So I'll be picking this up, come what may. I know, I'm a brand victim. Still, I hope as much as everybody else does that they make some serious improvements over Episode I this time. Even by Sonic's standards, I found it very ho hum. The content of the game was too short-lived and shallow (a problem that plagues the Sonic Rush series imho), while the Special Stages were very difficult.
Reading comments waiting for video to load: Wow, someones beard is apparently god-awful. Video loads and starts: WTF IS ON HIS FACE?!
Despite what some people say, I enjoyed Sonic 4: Episode 1. It's always nice to have a 2D Sonic game which was actually fun to play.
If people want to play a great sonic game, play sonic generations! It's deffinetly THE sonic game that I had been waiting for, besides colors, since sonic adventure 2!
Uh Captain Victory, what pray tell what was new about Episode1? I mean aside from uninspired level layouts and sluggish controls? I give credit to the spin on special stages and parts of lost labyrinth however. If Generations is any indication, they are definitely moving in the right direction in terms of both of those.
why doesn't anyone take into consideration that sonic colors and sonic generations were GREAT games?
I hope it turns out to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2 all over again, you know as in, being better than the previos one and having tails annoy the s**t out of us by screwing up the bonus levels, that sort of thing XD
Sonic 4 Ep 1 was pretty bad.....but what he's saying about episode 2 actually sounds good....especially the physics, Sonic 4 felt nothing like a classic genesis sonic should feel and i'm glad there fixing it! Although it should have been like that in the first place.....and also.....Wii VERSION?!
Episode 1 was awesome. If you couldn't enjoy it then you obviously just want Sonic to fail so go lock yourself in the closet with your Genesis and never accept anything new again.
I like the sound of no longer uncurling and not sticking to slopes, but he didn't say anything about the slow acceleration that plagued the first.

Break fixed, road, not yet
Andy Pea, a Wooster maintenance worker, cuts through a broken water line underneath Bowman Street on Wednesday. More than 30 homes remain on a boil alert because of the water transmission line that broke Tuesday afternoon and severly damaged a portion of the road. Water service was restored to the homes Tuesday, but the boil alert remained in effect Wednesday as bacteria testing was performed. Bowman Street is expected to be temporarily repaired by the weeknd; permanent repairs won't be done until a new waterline is in place, according to the city.

First, Happy Birthday Sister!
I want to preface this post with the fact that all photos were taken with my iPhone camera, I didn’t have my DSLR with me, but I loved this meal and needed to share with all of you, but the pictures do not do the food justice.
For Christmas, my Dad and his significant other gifted Nick and I a nice dinner in New York City during our visit. I decided on Craft
We made our reservation for Sunday night, we arrived a few minutes early and were still seated right away. The restaurant was full but not packed and not too loud. The restaurant had that perfect romance lighting, darkish but you could still read your menu.
Our waiter was at our table right away to take our drink orders.
Paloma – Tequila, Combier Pampelmousse Rose, and Grapefruit Bitters
It was delicious but very strong. I loved that they poured it table side. Nick ordered the Bee Sting (Bourbon, Fresh Ginger, Cardamom Honey, Regans Orange Bitters) right up Cait’s alley.
They also delivered bread with the drinks and we had a bunch of different choices.
Then the chef sent out an amuse bouche, beef tartar, Nick usually never touches this type of food. I made him try it, and he actually liked it. It was seasoned well and fresh.
For our meals we decided to share 2 appetizers, 2 side dishes and to pick our own entrees.
I picked Wild Arugula & Lemon Salad, that also had pine nuts. Nick chose the Pork Ravioli & Steens Cane Syrup.
My favorite was definitely the salad, I ate almost the entire thing, it was lightly massaged with the lemon and neither flavor took over the dish. The ravioli was good, but it was too sweet for my preference.
Clockwise from the left: Roasted red snapper with a sun dried tomato sauce (my entree), American Wagyu Coulotte (Nick’s entree), Spring Garlic Risotto, and Sautéed Swiss Chard.
At first when the brought the sides (the risotto & swiss chard) the dishes were small and I was like hmm that’s kinda pricy for that size, but I was FULL after a small portion of each. We ended up leaving almost half the risotto at the table we were so stuffed.
The fish was amazing. I LOVE red snapper and it was perfectly cooked with crispy skin. I even spread some of the sauce on the swiss chard because I didn’t want to waste it.
The wagyu Nick ordered medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection, it melted in our mouths, I am drooling thinking about it.
How cute are these dishes that our meals were served in? Every piece came in a different one.
We obviously had to have dessert.
Nick’s Chocolate Pretzel Tart. Served with peanut butter & vanilla ice cream. I actually don’t like pretzels so I didn’t want this one, but it did not have that over-salted taste I associate with pretzels.
The best dessert on the planet!
Chocolate Soufflé with caramel cream. This takes a little extra time to prepare so we savored our drinks while we waited. When the waiter delivered this gem you had the option to pour the cream on the soufflé yourself or have the waiter do it. I let the waiter do the honors and I let the cake sit for a minute before diving in. OH MY WORD. This was amazing, the cake was moist and their was a balance between the chocolate and the cream. I wanted to finish it but I had no room, I barely had room for half. I would go back for this dessert alone.
Since my dad called in advance, we didn’t get the bill, but with the bill they deliver you vanilla Madeline’s. We each had a bite and they were great, not dry at all and the flavor was phenomenal.
As we were leaving, the maiter d handed us banana chocolate chip muffins, for breakfast he said. Wow, that is some amazing customer service.
We did eat them the next morning since we missed the hotel breakfast, and they were impressed that after the evening the muffins were still full of flavor and were not dried out.
If you are looking for a place to eat in NYC, I highly recommend Craft. In fact I am trying to convince Nick that we have to go back soon.
Join Jenn’s WIAW party and see other great eats around the interwebs.

Nurse Pat is a Deputy Director of Nursing Service who now works at the Day Care Unit at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Accra. With over 30 years of nursing experience, Pat’s knowledge is invaluable to the team at KBTH.
Despite being incredibly busy, Pat walks the ward with a smile on her face each day. It is clear that the children are very fond of her, with five-year-old Sono joining us as we sit down to find out more about her role;
“With the shortage of nurses, Prof Renner asked some of us retired nurses to come in and help support the team on the ward which is why you see me here today.
“Cancer is a heavy load for anyone but even more so for families in Ghana. Here, families struggle to find the funds to pay for three meals a day yet alone the cost of cancer. Because of this, it is important for us as nurses to go above our duty of care to not only support the child, but also the families, with the mental stresses of having a child with cancer.
“They need to be encouraged and have the support to make sure they continue with treatment even when their child begins to get better or when things become extremely challenging in terms of finances and being away from home.
“There are many families that will start treatment but not finish meaning all previous support would have been in vain if they do not return. As much as it is important to ensure children are diagnosed early, it is equally important to make sure these families complete their treatment cycles.
“To reduce abandonment rates, we have started to provide counselling to empower families with the knowledge of not only the process of the treatment but to also inform them of what to expect in terms of its intensity of time, money and everything involved”
When asked about why Professor Renner had asked the retired nurses to return, Nurse Pat informed us that they felt their experience and knowledge could be passed onto the parents to ensure they are comforted and informed about what to expect.
“It’s not easy for a parent to accept that their child has cancer, that they may have to have their eye amputated for example, so they are often frightened and this can lead to them leaving the hospital. With a better understanding of why we need to apply these treatments, more families will feel confident in completing cycles and increase their child’s chances of survival.”
The team’s work goes beyond what they do on the ward as they also complete outreach visits to reach children that have been discharged but are still receiving palliative care;
“When children reach a stage of palliative care, the most important aspect of our work is to make sure they are as comfortable as possible as they reach the end of their life. We send them home to give them a sense of comfort, but they are encouraged to continue to be well nourished and receive the correct treatment to reduce their pain. Our visits ensure children are being correctly cared for and enjoy their life despite it coming to an end.”
“During one of our visits we met Serwa who was just two and a half years old. The child had been discharged from hospital as she was now receiving palliative care from home and we went to check up on her condition.
“Serwa was in a terrible way, her entire body was extremely pale as her mother sat by her side whilst her husband went to work. We told the mother that her child could die tonight, and she responded by saying they had no money to pay for her treatment anymore. After telling the parents how serious Serwa’s condition was, they agreed to allow us to take their daughter back to hospital.”
“To do what we do often takes more than knowledge. It takes heart and patience. We need to be able to talk to parents as a mother or a father and not only as a nurse. By showing compassion, we can speak to them with an understanding that comforts them. “
“Sometimes we can cover the costs of essential treatments so we ask parents to bring their child back for further care but they still cannot arrive because they cannot afford the transport fees. Many travel for several hours to reach hospital and costs to reach hospital are one of the many hurdles they must overcome.”
Throughout our time with Nurse Pat, she continued to smile and emit an aura of determination. Despite being technically retired, Nurse Pat goes above and beyond in her role every day. Being a nurse is not just a job, it’s a life choice to help others and all the nurses at KBTH play an integral role in helping to save the lives of children with cancer in Ghana.

The Monte del Frà areas are well suited to an enriched agriculture. Bordering Pre-Alps to the North and Lake Garda to the West characterise the beautiful province of Verona which represents nowadays the first viticultural geographic area in Italy. The presence of the mountains in the North mitigate the cold winds coming from Northern Europe, and the vast lake mitigate both cold winters and hot summers. The soil, rich in minerals, the morainic hills which are formed by prehistoric glaciers, the abundance of water and solar rays make this area particularly favorable.
This is the place where farmers through experience share their accumulated knowledge, technique of growing grapes and the art of winemaking thereby creating undisputed wines which have worldwide acclaim.

According to an analysis by the European privacy policeman, Europol keeps vast amounts of personal data of innocent people, going against European regulations. Accused of mass surveillance, the agency has been ordered to purge information that is not related to crimes.
Europol accused of keeping vast amounts of data outside any legal framework and of drifting to an agencylike the NSA. In a decision published on January 10, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) ordered the criminal police agency to erase all information of individuals in its databases who were not involved in cases. criminal.
According to , the agency holds more than 4 petabytes of data from States, collected as part of or the personal data of migrants. The database would contain information on at least 250,000 people. Many of these do not fit into the categories of “suspects”, “potential future criminals”, “contacts and associates”, “victims”, “witnesses” and “informants”. Thus many innocent Europeans, not involved in any crime, could be listed without knowing it.
A wealth of information to train an AI
In addition to illegal surveillance of citizens, the data withheld could be used to lead to. Europol had already signaled its intention to create its own algorithms using machine learning as early as spring 2020, and this would include facial recognition. After putting the program on hiatus in 2021, the agency recently started recruiting .
CEDP granteda period of one year to put its files in order. After this deadline, the agency will have to filter the incoming data within a maximum period of six months in order to remove all irrelevant information.

Sbkupsrb - synchronizes copies of an SRB object
Sbkupsrb [-aAbrKv] -S backupResource srbObj|collection ...
Sbkupsrb backups the srb data/collection to the specified backupResource. It will first check whether a copy of the data to be backed up already exists in the backupResource. If it does and the copy is up to date, nothing will be done. If it exists but not up to date, the copy will be updated to the latest. If it does not exist, a replica to the backupResource will be made.
The srbObj or collection arguments can be path names in the SRB collection hierarchy.
An admin user can use the -A option to backup other user's files.
The -K option can be used to verify the integrity of the newly created backup copy using the checksuming mechanism. If a checksum value does not already exist for the original copy, a checksum value will be computed by the server before the replication. A checksum value will also be computed for the backup copy after the replication and these two checksum values are compared for verification.

Simon Aldous’s take on the big architectural stories of the week: Neo Bankside vs Tate Modern verdict • Final cost of Garden Bridge • Gehry’s Wimbledon concert hall • Council rejects biscuit factory redevelopment
A landmark High Court judgement has ruled that if you move into a flat with floor-to-ceiling windows opposite a multistorey public art gallery, you can’t get all huffy when visitors to the gallery look at you.
Residents of the Stirling-shortlisted Neo Bankside flats, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour, were hoping the courts would put a stop to the voyeuristic tendencies of visitors to Tate Modern’s Switch House extension, designed by Herzog & de Meuron.
Art lovers had been taking a break from the exhibits by wandering on to the gallery’s viewing platform to enjoy an installation of a less artful nature, by peering into the flats – greatly assisted by the aforementioned generous glazing, though also, the residents claim, by the use of binoculars.
Much of Tate’s argument in its defence was that Neo Bankside’s developer never raised any objection to the viewing platform being built, and that residents would have been aware of the nature of the neighbouring building, which was under construction when they bought their flats.
It’s possible the estate agents selling the flats didn’t highlight this aspect as a selling point; though one suspects they would have made a deal of the homes’ proximity to the UK’s top modern art gallery.
Should it really have been necessary to add to such warnings as ‘share values can go up and down’, and ‘this cup of coffee contains a hot liquid’, the caution ‘glass can be looked in through as well as out of’?
Indeed, not all residents were on-message regarding the complaints, with one telling The Guardian: ‘If you buy a flat with so much glass and think you’re buying privacy, you’re stupid.’
Nicholas Serota, Tate’s director when the legal action began, suggested upset residents to install blinds or net curtains – advice many of them appear to have taken.
The litigating home-owners hoped to force Tate Modern to shut off part of the viewing platform. But making his ruling, Justice Mann (whose name makes him sound like some kind of legal superhero) said the tenants had ‘created their own sensitivity’ by purchasing apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Weekend poll: Do you agree with the High Court’s ruling that Tate Modern’s viewing platform stays open?
Last week’s poll asked, ‘What should happen to the diamond-façaded Welbeck Street car park, now facing demolition?’
This proved a particularly engaging topic, attracting the most votes of any Weekend Newsletter poll so far. Only 11 per cent agreed with Westminster Council’s decision to allow the structure to be demolished; 32 per cent thought it should be listed; while 57 per cent wanted to find a new use for the building while keeping the façade.
Chipping in on a lively Twitter debate was car park aficionado Simon Henley, who despaired of the talk of façadism, arguing that the façade was integral to its structure – ‘remove the façade and building falls down; replace the floors and façade falls down,’ he tweeted.
Cash down borehole
Finally we know exactly how much money was squandered on not building the Garden Bridge: £53 million – of which £43 million is public money.
Along with this final figure came a long-awaited breakdown of exactly where the money went. The figures show architect Heatherwick Studios took £2.75 million; garden designer Dan Pearson received £303,000, while Arup pocketed a cool £12.7 million.
But it’s perhaps one of the smaller sums that gives an insight into the trust’s attitude when it came to spending money. It paid an astonishing £161,000 for a website that could surely have been produced for a fraction of that amount.
With London mayor Boris Johnson seemingly willing to provide ever-increasing funds, the trust could happily dole out the cheques to all and sundry. Perhaps this gives a clue as to how the bridge’s price soared from an initial estimate of £60 million to more than £200 million.
The largest chunk of the cash – £21.4 million – went to contractor Bouygues. Yet that deal was signed off without having first secured all the land for the project nor with funding secured to operate the bridge for the first five years – despite these being clear conditions of TfL’s funding. In other words, vast sums of money were spent when there was still no guarantee the bridge could be completed.
When pressed on this issue at last year’s London Assembly hearing, Johnson said he couldn’t remember the circumstances surrounding these decisions. The former mayor instead cast blame on his successor as well as the AJ’s coverage, all but screaming ‘fake news’.
Lest it be forgotten, the Garden Bridge was originally proclaimed as a project that would be entirely privately funded. I wonder if readers are aware of any other incidents of Johnson making false promises about major initiatives that failed to live up to his claims.
Meanwhile in Exeter, the city council working with LDA Design have bravely produced a proposal for the city that features its very own garden bridge, to promote active travel across the River Exe.
Gehry wimbledon design
The south-west London suburb of Wimbledon is already renowned for Wombles, a lawn tennis club and a resurrected football team. To these attractions could it soon be adding a Frank Gehry-designed concert hall?
Anthony Wilkinson, who is director of the International Wimbledon Music Festival, wants to build the £100 million venue, and asked Gehry to provide concept designs for a 1,250-seat hall to be built on the site of a supermarket car park.
He says he contacted Gehry after visiting the architect’s building for the New World Symphony in Miami.
But fans of The Simpsons may be wondering if a certain episode of the long-running cartoon series had subconsciously lodged in his mind. The episode, from 2005, features Marge Simpson writing to Gehry (voiced by the architect himself) asking him to design a concert hall for the town of Springfield in an effort to class it up a bit – possibly not such an issue for Wimbledon. Gehry screws up the letter, then announces that this scrunched up paper is the design.
Things don’t turn out so well for the concert hall once built as it falls into disuse and is then retrofitted to become a prison.
Gehry subsequently said he regretted appearing on the show, feeling it had haunted him and led to people belittling the complex design process that results in his buildings.
Just how the Wimbledon concert hall will be funded is unclear. Wilkinson says the scheme has so far been pledged £1 million and they are looking to find the other £99 million ‘from philanthropic sources’.
Just watch out for any ambitious local politicians offering to underwrite the project.
Southwark Council has rejected KPF’s £500 million scheme to redevelop the site of a former biscuit factory in Bermondsey amid a dispute over the amount of affordable housing.
The scheme would have created 1,342 build-to-rent homes, with 27.5 per cent of the units to be let at below market rents. Southwark’s target is for 35 per cent of homes to be affordable and its independent viability consultant rejected developer Grosvenor’s claim that this would not be financially feasible.
But now the council risks the prospect that no housing at all will be built on the site in what looks like a game of chicken between council and developer.
Southwark may feel it previously had its fingers burnt with the redevelopment of Heygate Estate. The developer behind the Elephant Park scheme that replaced it was accused of manipulating viability figures to justify cutting the amount of social housing.
Also this week
- Japanese architect Junya Ishigami will design this year’s Serpentine Pavilion. He is planning a heavy slate-like roof which will appear to elevate over the surrounding Kensington Gardens setting. The Serpentine Gallery’s pavilion programme, now in its 19th year, gives architects the opportunity to build their first UK structure.
- The government has appointed former PRP chairman Andy von Bradsky as its head of architecture. Launching the £61,000-per-year post last year, the government said it was responding to the perception that quality of design of new housing developments was ‘a barrier to achieving planning permissions’.
- Architect CF Møller is rethinking its use of cross-laminated timber for its scheme to replace Robin Hood Gardens after the government banned combustible cladding materials for tall buildings. Housing association Swan, which is behind the housing estate’s redevelopment, said it believed CLT performed really well under fire load and had been caught up in a ban intended to target other materials.

Young picked up an injury during Man United’s dismal 3-1 defeat at West Ham United last weekend and will be replaced by either Diogo Dalot or Antonio Valencia.
A win over Valencia will restore some much needed belief in this bedraggled team and, just as importantly, put United six points ahead of the La Liga side, the chief competitor for second place in the group behind Juventus.
Here is the complete confirmed team news for the first Champions League game at Old Trafford this season.

Cleveland, Ohio – March 2019 U.S. cutting tool consumption totaled $210.4 million according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) and AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This total, as reported by companies participating in the Cutting Tool Market Report collaboration, was up 2.3% from Feburary’s $205.6 million and up 1.6% when compared with the $207.1 million reported for March 2018. With a year-to-date total of $631.1 million, 2019 is up 8.6% when compared with 2018.
These numbers and all data in this report are based on the totals reported by the companies participating in the CTMR program. The totals here represent a significant market share of the U.S. market for cutting tools.
“The Cutting Tool industry had a better first quarter in 2019 as compared to 2018. This positive performance would be helped if China and the USA could reach a new trade agreement that would provide stability to the markets,” says Brad Lawton, chairman of AMT’s Cutting Tool Product Group.
According to Costikyan Jarvis, president of Jarvis Cutting Tools, “Growth is good, even if it is not growing as fast as it used to. You can see that in March’s Cutting Tool usage data. The year-over-year growth is now 8.6%, which is still good, but not as good as the past number which showed over 12% growth. The March PMI (55.3) shows continued growth, and employment growth bounced back from a poor February (56,000) to a much stronger March number (189,000). Housing numbers continue to disappoint, but that is offset by strong auto and aerospace production. We all like growth and the March data continue to point to growth in 2019.”

Bryant Long, convicted of the first-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse of two young girls, was sentenced today to 25 years in prison.
The victims didn't speak before Russell County Circuit Court Judge George Greene, though Assistant District Attorney Max Smith read statements from the girls.
"These nice people want to send you to jail," the now 14-year-old girl wrote. "I want to send you to hell!"
Long abused the girls at separate times over several years, Smith said. The younger was around 8 when the abuse began. The older child was around 10.

Should you find yourself in a situation where the honor of a peer, colleague, family, or friend is called into question today, you will likely respond by supporting their rights. You may feel compelled to defend the liberties of individuals in your home, workplace, community, and world. Even those people whose beliefs, opinions, and lifestyles differ from your own will likely find themselves under the auspices of your protection. You may recognize the importance of the brotherhood of humanity and want to protect it by doing all you can to ensure that all human beings are free to live ethical, happy, and productive lives. You'll likely respond to injustice today with concentrated displays of activism and expressions of serene tolerance.
As you defend the rights of others, you ensure that justice, as well as freedom, are preserved and that aid will be forthcoming should you find that your liberties are being suppressed. When we endeavor to create a culture in which all people are free to believe what they like and express themselves as they see fit, we protect our own rights as we stand up for the rights of others. Your inclusive and ethical stand can inspire others to consider freedom as its own concept. You will become part of a movement to unify humanity through the shared responsibility of protecting equality. Should you then need others to defend your rights, help will be forthcoming. When you endeavor to ensure that all people are free to think and feel as they wish today, you will guarantee your own freedoms in the process.
As our culture becomes increasingly detached from community and nature, we have fallen out of touch with the sacredness of our lives. People are busy, distracted, late and stressed out. This is why stopping to take a breath and making the ordinary beautiful and meaningful is important. Incorporating rituals into our lives can help us to make each moment count. Everything you do can be elevated to ritual status; it's about being present in the task you are doing. Ritual can be created for personal celebrations as well as cosmic events like the change of seasons and full moons. These are wonderful opportunities to actually create your own ceremony that is performed seasonally or yearly either alone or with friends and family. What makes it ritual is your intent to make it special and to be with it in the present moment. In this beautiful course from DailyOM co-founder Madisyn Taylor, you will learn simple yet profound rituals you can incorporate into your daily life that will enhance your experience greatly.


Hotel Mulia, Jakarta
19 & 20 June 2024
State-owned electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) or PLN, through its sub-holding PLN Indonesia Power, is set to operate the first hydrogen refueling station (HRS) in Indonesia located in Senayan, South Jakarta.
The progress of the HRS construction has now reached 98%, with completion targeted for February 2024.
PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo stated that the HRS is a follow-up to the company's utilization of green hydrogen production from 21 green hydrogen plants that have been operational since November 2023. The hydrogen refueling station is expected to effectively replace fossil fuel
"Not only electric vehicle charging infrastructure, but we are also ready to introduce the first hydrogen refueling station in Indonesia as an environmentally friendly energy option for vehicles," said Darmawan in a press release on Tuesday (1/16/2024).
The nearly completed HRS will serve all types of hydrogen-based vehicles, including private vehicles, public transportation, and heavy-duty vehicles. Darmawan mentioned that the Senayan HRS is equipped with HRS 150 bar, 300 bar, and will gradually increase to 700 bar.
PLN is also innovating hydrogen-based electric vehicles, which will be showcased during the inauguration of the Senayan HRS. The vehicle, developed by Subholding PLN Nusantara Power, is based on 150 bar pressure. "The development of this green hydrogen supply chain also strengthens national energy resilience. It means transitioning from fossil-based fuels, which are mostly imported, to domestically produced green hydrogen," added Darmawan. According to PLN's calculations, the cost of green hydrogen fuel produced from the operational residue of power plants is highly competitive compared to traditional fossil fuels. Per kilometer, a gasoline car costs Rp1,400, an electric car costs Rp370, and a hydrogen car only costs Rp350. "Thus, this energy transition is not only aimed at reducing high-emission energy use in the transportation sector but also transitioning to environmentally friendly, even zero-emission, energy, and at a much cheaper price," he explained.
The Senayan HRS will be equipped with a hydrogen-based electric vehicle charger with similar functions to a public electric vehicle charging station (SPKLU). A Hydrogen Center and Hydrogen Gallery Room will also be built as a center for hydrogen-related training and education in Indonesia. PLN is currently capable of producing 199 tons of green hydrogen. Out of this total production, PLN only uses 75 tons for operational power plant needs, while the remaining 124 tons can be utilized for other purposes. This amount can service 424 units of cell electric vehicles, saving 1.55 million liters of imported gasoline per year and reducing carbon emissions by 3.72 million kg CO2 per year. To implement this program, PLN has collaborated with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and Indonesia Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy (IFHE).

After four years of separation, Phish, that 90s jam band as beloved by some as it was reviled by others–like us, who never made the leap over from the Grateful Dead (who we saw 13 times)–will reunite. But only for three dates. In Virginia. Random, right? There’s actually a reason Phish is heading south: the band will play at the Hampton Coliseum, where in 1998 its four members recorded the six-CD set Hampton Comes Alive over the course of twelve shows.

MA healthcare costs overhaul bill on its way to Gov.'s desk
A sweeping healthcare cost-containment bill is heading to the desk of Gov. Deval Patrick. Patrick and the Legislature are celebrating the bill, which has broad support, but is being received with more wariness and trepidation than recent major healthcare efforts, including the landmark coverage law. As we've heard again and again, tackling healthcare costs is going to be hard. Trying to hold down healthcare costs is one of those third-rail issues that many politicians won't touch. As he introduced the bill, House lead author Rep. Steve Walsh stressed that while it's projected to save $200 billion over 15 years, that's not the only goal.

A blend of spices for Provençal marinades with character that smells of Provence! Thought of my family, this wonderful region of France and its gastronomy.
Pairings in the kitchen: Skewers of beef, poultry, cheese, fresh cream
Composition : Mustard, garlic, chilli pepper, tomato, anti-caking agent E 504, salt, rosemary, marjoram, thyme.
Packaging : 40g freshness sachet.
"A blend of quality herbs to prepare authentic tasting Provencal marinades."
Warning: Last items in stock!
My Provencal marinade spice mix is a blend of spices and herbs that I dedicate to my uncle. It reminds me of my childhood and the great family barbecues.
This mix for marinade and barbecue is composed of 8 ingredients that together bring freshness and character to your summer dishes and grills.
By combining mustard, garlic, chilli pepper and tomato, I've tried to give your grilled dishes a striking, pungent flavour with a round acidity.
The combination of thyme and marjoram will give your grilled meats the Provençal take-off that you expect, you will be directly transported in the middle of the garrigue.
Aromatic plants are harvested at dawn, when dew is still present on their leaves. Previously, they were harvested in the wild. Today, their cultivation has intensified.
Did you know that? The term "Herbes de Provence" is not an appellation. This is why most of the blends of herbs of Provence do not come from the South of France, but from other countries in Europe, North Africa and Asia (especially China).
The bouquet garni is a blend of dried herbs left on branches. Mon Oncle's Provençal Marinade Spice Mix contains some of the aromatic herbs present in a bouquet garni, but minced: thyme, rosemary, garlic..
The herbs in my Italian spice blend come from Asia and the Mediterranean basin.
The ingredients that make up my Uncle's Provençal marinade spices have been discovered by the greatest civilizations:
In addition to their use in cooking, aromatic plants are indispensable in a garden. They contribute to biodiversity and help vegetables to grow well. Some of them have a strong smell that keeps pests away: lemongrass, basil, mint, lavender...
Others, on the contrary, have a smell that attracts insects: thyme, rosemary, sage... Planted away from vegetables, they help to protect them.
Ready to use and composed of ingredients in perfect proportion, this blend will be your ideal ally to prepare tasty marinades with Mediterranean notes as powerful as they are mild in the mouth.
Beyond the aromas, marinating your meats will also make them much more tender and enjoy them with even more delectation.
It's very simple, for 500 GR of meat or fish, you just have to mix 10 grams of this blend with 20 grams of water and 20 grams of vegetable oil (rapeseed or olive will give you the best results).
All you have to do is place your piece of meat or fish (or your vegetables!) at the bottom of a hollow container and pour your marinade over it. Cover and place in a cool place for at least 3 hours (ideally 24 hours for pieces of meat and a little less for fish, due to the natural tenderness of its flesh). Grill, it's ready!
You can also use it as a coating for your meat by applying this dry mixture all around your piece of grilled meat or fish.
This mixture can also be perfectly combined with the sauce of a stewed dish.
Do you want to make unique marinades for your meats? I propose you to bring Provence to your table with these 3 recipes flavoured with my Provencal marinade spices.
A simple and tasty starter! Marinate your fresh goat's cheese for 6 hours in an equal mixture of water and olive oil to which you will have added 10 grams of my Provençal spice mix.
Slice large slices of bread and add the cheese. Garnish with some sprouts, pine nuts and a few pieces of apricots. Add a touch of oil flavored with my Provençal marinade spices. Enjoy!
A treat for meat lovers! Add 10 GR of my marinade mix in 20 ml of water and 20 ml of oil. Coat your prime rib with this flavoured oil. Leave to marinate for 12 hours in a cool place. Take your meat out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking.
Heat your skillet over high heat. Sear your meat for 3 minutes on each side. Wrap in foil for 15 minutes. Serve! You'll have a juicy prime rib that's as juicy as you want it to be and with an exceptional taste.
This blend of Provençal spices is delivered to you in a fresh packet. You can keep your pickling spices in it, provided you close it tightly between each use. Keep all your spices dry and away from light. They will keep all their flavours for many months.
