I wouldn't say its new..but its different...
Whats special about Rajma curry?It is liked by my sister in laws son... so what special???umm...
He is a Big fan of Bean burrito.He used to live only on this.I mean... its the only food he eats without any fuss. He doesn't like Indian food other than carrot sambar(but now he is getting used to..)when he comes to India my Mil does chapathi and rajma (as thick curry) and rolls it like burrito to make him eat.so...he is that much into burrito taste that he knows exactly what all goes in it.
Once my Sil was asking what I add to kurma instead of coconut and i told her Badam(usually everyone adds cashew right ?? but since Badam is better than cashew from health point view I use badam)and any nuts that i get along with roasted bengal gram.
She had tried this with rajma once for her son (using just badam,poppy and roasted bengal gram)and i believe he loved it so much . She told me this and so i too tried the same.(though this is my normal way of doing kurma ,i havent done using this with rajma)
I tried it and my DH too loved it.
Here I am sharing this recipe with my dear friends.
INGREDIENTS:(approximate measurement for 2)
Roasted bengal gram-1tsp
Pumpkin seeds-1 -2 tbs(i love using any nuts i have... walnut,pine nut or hazel anything.... they have omega 3 fatty acid,vitamin E...)
Poppy seed-1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder-1tsp
1)Soak rajma for 6-7 hours and pressure cook well.
2)Grind ginger and garlic. chop onions and tomato.
3)Grind badam,pumpkin seed,poppy seed and roasted bengal gram to paste
4)Heat oil and add cinnamon, jeera.Add ginger garlic paste, onion , tomato and salt and cook well till raw smell goes.
5)Add turmeric,chilli ,dhaniya,garam masala powder. saute well.
6)Mash cooked rajam lightly and add to the above and cook.
7)Garnish and enjoy with chapathi or paratha.
NOTE:Actually i add poppy seed directly to nuts and grind but my sil's son felt small granules and complained ,i believe.So if you feel the same ,you can soak this in water for couple of minutes and then add to other ingredients and grind.
Hope you like my way of Rajma :)

To steal a phrase from Doc Holiday, Wyatt the Nuggets are rolling. Last night Denver put the exclamation on a beatdown of the Hornets 107-68. The only salvaging point for the Hornets was that they did not get swept, winning game 3 by 2 points. Denver's average margin of victory in this series was 30.75. Chauncey has given the team a completely different identity from last year and the confidence is way up from last year. The team was only 4 games better in the standings, but it is night and day the way they are playing.
The Nuggets move on to the second round against the Mavs who dispatched San Antonio. Denver has to be seen as the favorite in this series but for now they are going to celebrate their first playoff series win in 15 years. Their last one was when they upset 1 seed Seattle who was coached by George Karl. If you forgot about that series somehow, this should jog your memory:
L.A. is still the huge favorite in the west, but if the Nuggets keep up this level of play they should blow by the Mavs and perhaps give the Lakers a run for their money assuming they get by the Rockets/Blazers.
Here's a short discussion we had about the Nuggets playoff performance (after game 2 of the Hornets blowout series), the changes the team has made, and could their be a duel even more incredible than the Bulls/Celtics as the playoffs progress?

I just watched all 4 episodes of “Girls” on HBO. I really, really, really enjoyed the dialogue and the plot. Obviously, as a 24 year old "girl", I and all of my friends can so relate to these young women and the tough things they face in the name of "finding themselves": pregnancy scares, job uncertainty, relationships growing stale, STIs, learning to care for yourself and not succumb to abusive people and situations. Girls is funny and honest, and tries very hard to not glamorize the complete circus that this time can feel like...
I will agree with many of the critiques. I wasn't as up in arms about the lack of substantive characters/narratives including people of color, because honestly...most "middle-class/I've been coddled my entire life and now the real world is so 'hard'/I have the luxury of being in a quarter-life crisis" white women would NOT have meaningful relationships in real life with other women of color. Instead, women of color, that is Chicanas, black women, and Asian women may be relatively peripheral to a world that allows you the privilege of introspection, wanderlust, and unabashed disdain for working menial jobs. By no stretch of the imagination am I implying that meaningful interracial friendships and relationships are nonexistent or that the tropes present in “Girls” aren’t more indicative of class status rather than race; however, I believe that the narrative is fairly representative of a large slice of the population.
The show is spun through the lens of Hannah, a 24 year old, liberal arts graduate, a writer whose parents have just cut her off. Hannah’s parents are over-protective professors, she struggles with weight and self-esteem issues, and her acerbic wit is often misunderstood. She and her friends are complex characters simultaneously struggling to escape their insecurities while reveling in the fact that, at this age, life doesn’t have to make much sense. The plot unfolds somewhat haphazardly, yet brilliantly in each episode so that the viewer experiences layers of depth in each girl. There are no “good” or “bad” girls, even the douche-y love interest cannot be relegated to 2-dimensions so easily. This makes for great HBO programming. Unfortunately, the few glances of women of color are (surprise, surprise) narrow, stereotypical, and lacking nuance.
In episode 3, Hannah visits her friend Shoshannah, who is watching her favorite dating show on TV. In the show, each contestant has to unveil their “baggage” (their small, medium, and large secrets) at which point they are either chosen or sent home. One contestant was a black woman. Guess what her baggage was?
Small: She spends $1000 a month on weave, which host Jerry Springer deems “un-be-weave-able.”
Medium: She plans her wedding after the first date.
Large: She pokes holes in condoms.
Um, my biggest question after that scene was “Why?” not “Why would that imagery be so clearly assigned to the black woman?” but “Why are those images so prevalent in American popular culture that they, unsurprisingly, insinuated themselves in a show that doesn’t even address black women peripherally?” The weave meme has unfortunately caught fire in white America. They know what it is, they can even recognize it, they are morally outraged by its prices, and by golly, they are going to mention it every chance they get, even when it is not attached to an actual character. The condom-poking phenomenon, to me, falls into the delicious treasure chest of hood fairy-tales along with “welfare queens”, gang-banging, and the origins of rap music.
In episode 4, Hannah has just gotten a new job. She works with a sexually-harassing boss and two spicy staff members that seem to leisurely regard work. One of them appears to be Afro-Latina (perhaps Dominican or Puerto Rican) and, as we can only expect, is caricaturized and stereotypical from the start. She has an exaggerated accent, dramatic penciled-in eyebrows, tight clothes, and a neck/eye roll combination unparalleled on recent primetime TV.
Again, I asked myself the same questions from above. As you can tell, I am not surprised by the lack of well-constructed black and Latina characters. I actually think it is an honest representation of the stilted and one-dimensional schema that privilege builds towards people of color generally. “Girls” is true to life, because that is how so many interactions with women of color are perceived, analyzed, and then digested by white, middle-class women. As a black woman, I know these characters to often be misrepresented or too narrowly defined; but in a popular culture where there are less black people on primetime TV now than 20 years ago, what can we realistically expect?
“Girls” is one more reminder that media not birthed from a multi-cultural, colorful, inclusive perspective will never authentically reflect what we know to be true and what we hope will one day be celebrated.
In the meantime, we will be left with witty, yet unbalanced vantage points from majority privilege. I will still be watching Girls, but these things are always in my mind.
Will you be watching? How do you feel, am I making too much or too little of this? Read more about Lena Durham, Girls creator, writer, and co-star, confronting the topic (or lack thereof) of race in the show here.

HHS to present story of WW II female pilots
The powerful story of six women training to become Air Force pilots during World War II takes the stage this coming weekend as Holton High School will present “Decision Height.”
The drama, written by Meredith Dayna Levy, chronicles the lives of a small group of women as they undergo training to become members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program, which was active in the United States from 1942 to 1944 flying in non-combat missions.
“It’s an important story to tell,” said director Audrey Baxter. “These women were swept under the rug and didn’t get acknowledged. They were even denied military benefits until just recently.”
Baxter said the relatively new script stood out among several she was looking through last summer.
“I knew I had a strong core of young women trying out for the play,” she said.
The plays follows the lives of the women in training and looks at their motivations for joining the WASPs, as well as their deep relationships toward each other.
“By training to be pilots, it freed the men to focus on battle overseas,” Baxter said. “They had to go through the same basic training as the men but weren’t give veteran status until recently.”
Baxter said props were borrowed from the local National Guard armory and the women’s flight suits are also on loan from retired veterans.
The play will be performed at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday at the high school auditorium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.
“This story isn’t in the history books, but I think it was a turning point for women as they were trying to gain more independence,” Baxter said.
Cast members include Kelcie Matousek (Norma Jean Harris), Anne Bowser (Eddie Harknell), Emma Wittmer (Virginia Hascall), Ashley Cook (Alice Hawkins), Sonora Sheldon (Carol Henderson), Ashlyn Robinson (Rosalie Hartson), Gladys Heitzman and Alexis Garcia will both play Mildred Simmons (one on Saturday and the other Sunday), Beth Mandala (Ziggie), Cassidy Smith (Mrs. Deaton) and Draven Wahwassuck (Rosenfield).
Brooklyn Klahr is the director’s assistant and crew members include Creighton Baxter, Walker Sheldon, Sydney Snyder, Megan Mercer and members of the Holton Middle School eighth-grade class.

Microsoft has revealed when it will hold its annual developer conference, known as Build. The event, which sees thousands of developers from across the globe attend to find out the latest tweaks and improvements coming to the desktop operating system so their applications can take advantage of the latest features.
As well as operating system improvements, Microsoft also uses the opportunity to showcase the latest features coming to Windows 10. Last year, Microsoft discussed its plans to build its Microsoft Edge web browser on the same open-source Chromium engine as Google Chrome – ensuring fewer incompatibility problems. It also saw the company reveal plans to include a full Linux kernel inside Windows 10.
Microsoft Build 2020 will be held on May 19 to May 21, 2020.
The Redmond-based technology company has listed events on developers tooling, language innovation, cloud development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, cross-platform applications, Internet Of Things (IoT) and Microsoft 365 extensions. Microsoft will publish a full list of all sessions soon, it has confirmed.
As well as software, it’s possible Microsoft will also provide some update on its hardware plans. The US company has already revealed its dual-screen Surface Neo and Surface Duo devices, which are powered by a new version of Windows designed for touchscreen devices with two hinged displays and Android 10, respectively. Whether there will be any other surprise announcements within the Surface hardware brand remains to be seen.
Windows 10: Major operating system redesign could include fun feature from Google
Microsoft Build costs $ 2,395. Attendees will get full access to three-days of hands-on learning as well as access to Microsoft engineers to help develop your applications. It also enables developers to connect with their community to share new trends and ways to code.
The developer conference usually sells out pretty fast, so if you’re interested in attending Microsoft Build – you should register as soon as possible.
This year’s Build will be the first one since Microsoft ended support for its Windows 7 operating system. That means Microsoft will no longer issue bug fixes or fix glitches being exploited by cybercriminals, or preventing some applications from working. Interestingly, despite Windows 7 no longer being supported, PC owners are not flocking to update to Windows 10 in vast numbers. That means millions of Windows users are still putting themselves at risk from malware.
Whether Microsoft will address the number of users moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10 during its Build conference remains to be seen.
The Redmond-based firm had offered a free upgrade to users running older versions of its operating system in the year following the launch of Windows 10. However, the company has long since shuttered that promotion… although some Express.co.uk readers claim it’s possible to still get Windows 10 for free using the method.


Simultaneous processing of the complete scene around a moving vehicle – in all directions, without gaps, without guesses – is a basic prerequisite for achieving the ultimate goal of truly safe transportation. This fact stands in stark opposition to one fundamental human shortcoming: no matter how skilled the driver, and no matter how many mirrors are available in the car (and no matter how many times your mother claimed she had eyes in the back of her head), human beings simply cannot see both ahead and behind at the same time. Even if we could, our brains are not adapted to process so much information while traveling at high speeds. This is one area where autonomous driving sensors and their complementary perception algorithms offer incredible progress – through autonomous sensors, it is possible to gain a complete, continuous, and unified understanding of the surrounding driving environment. Among them, Imaging Radar stands out, offering data in all weather and lighting conditions and at long range to enable perception algorithms and provide advanced sensing no matter the use case.
The addition of a rear-facing radar means more than simply installing a sensor to face backward. It means adjusting “standard” algorithms to be able to recognize the difference between forward and backward motion. It also means that everything – tracking, ego motion, free space mapping, classification – has to happen twice. The real challenge lies in making the whole greater than the sum of its parts, churning all of the data from each sensor together to produce one continuous, unified presentation of the driving scenario, used to support perception algorithms.
Hazards can come from any direction, and can interfere with safe driving even when they come from behind. While the most immediately obvious benefit of a rear-facing radar enables safe and autonomous driving in reverse, the benefits are really highlighted in more complex scenarios. If you are standing still, or need to slow down toward a traffic jam, the ability to sense that a vehicle is trailing too close or gaining too quickly (and at what speed and in what direction) could meaningfully inform your next moves to help avert disaster.
Further, rear-facing radar offers some unique advantages for perception specifically. When merging onto or exiting from a highway, or changing lanes to overtake a car in the next lane, being able to differentiate between drivable and non-drivable space (also known as Free Space Mapping) is critical. If a vehicle is passing and plans to cross back into your lane, the space is free – but will not remain free. Detections gathered by the rear-facing sensor, then, play a critical part in analyzing the evolving scene, and developing a “super power” nearing clairvoyance to accurately anticipate how the driving environment is likely to shift.
Rear-facing radar also improves ego velocity estimations in very heavy traffic, or when driving near a red light switching to green by providing additional contextual data. In both of these scenarios, a clear view of the stationary environment is necessary to calculate ego motion from radar detections. Crowded and slow moving traffic can make it difficult to achieve by front radar alone, causing, for example, slow divergence of the estimated ego velocity from its true value. The more directions the sensors cover, the more diverse data they take in, increasing the number of detections stemming from true stationary objects, thus improving the robustness of the calculation.
Likewise, it provides important complementary information about otherwise-missed obstructions and occlusions now identified thanks to Imaging Radar’s ultra-high resolution in all dimensions. This data, when processed together with data from other radars in a single, more elaborate calculation, significantly improves accuracy. In short, rear-facing Imaging Radar offers a more complete understanding of the driving environment and how it is likely to develop over time, improving decision making and safety.
This kind of full coverage perception will eventually also enable some of the more futuristic – but entirely achievable – autonomous and connected vehicle features. Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication will make it possible for vehicles to share information about hazards down the road. For example, Arbe’s Imaging Radar has a range of over 300m. By including a rear-facing radar in every sensor suite, two vehicles (or more!) will be able to share information, effectively extending the range of the one behind to include the range of the vehicle ahead (for a total front-facing range of nearly a kilometer). Similarly to the way smart, shared navigation systems like Waze enable users to warn others behind them of potential obstacles, perception in more than one direction will enable connected, autonomous vehicles to extend their range and make better, more informed, and safer decisions.
Likewise, accurate perception of the complete driving landscape will be required to support high definition radar mapping of radar reflections in our overall environment. By building an accumulating map of all stationary detection from the environment in the highest possible resolution and sharing localization information, it will be possible to create an extended free space map to increase path planning efficiency.
Rear-facing Imaging Radar provides an entirely new level of understanding of the driving environment. When applied to both the front and back of the vehicle, the compounded effect of both the overlapping and the complementary detections makes the Perception Imaging Radar simply indispensable to achieving safety and autonomy.

Apple’s next generation iPhone is widely speculated to come with a 4-inch screen.
The leaked parts suggest that the 4-inch screen will be taller than the current 3.5-inch screen, but will be of the same width, with 1136×640 resolution.
Interestingly, iOS 6 already seems to support the taller display as it automatically scales the home screen to the taller 1136×640 display.
MacRumors have created a nice video, which demonstrates how the taller 4-inch display would feel like.
The video shows how the new 4″ Home Screen would look. The extra space would naturally allow for larger app folder sizes. Games and other apps would have to be modified to take advantage of the extra real estate. We imagined, however, that existing apps would be “letterboxed”, simply leaving empty black space at the top and bottom of the larger screen. Apple used a similar approach when supporting iPhone apps on the iPad.
The new 1136×640 resolution is almost exactly the same 16:9 ratio found on many widescreen monitors and televisions. This will fit many widescreen movies more naturally.
While a bigger iPhone display is good news as it has been on the wish list of many users for quite sometime, we would have preferred the 6th generation iPhone to also come with a wider display. What about you?


If you are experiencing problems with your gas oven and are in need of gas range repair, we can help. This video explains the top reasons for oven repair and some of the things you can do to fix it.
A faulty lighter or igniter is a common occurrence for many gas range ovens. Over time, the igniter can weaken due to constant wear. This will lead to the oven not heating properly or at all. Remove the covers to see if the igniter glows when you turn the oven on. If it does but the oven doesn’t light, this means it’s too weak and needs to be replaced.
Some models of gas ovens use a thermostat to monitor the oven’s temperature. If this wears out or is damaged, it can cause problems with the igniter. Use a multimeter to determine if the thermostat has continuity. If it does, this likely indicates a problem with the ignitor or a burnt-out wire.
Wires get burnt out over time. This may be what’s causing issues with the ignitor or thermostat, and is a fire hazard that needs to be replaced by a specialized contractor, immediately.

HYDERABAD: As part of its strategy for the Munugode byelection, the Congress has decided to constitute a 25-member committee in each of the polling booths across the constituency, with one coordinator for two polling booths. A senior leader would be in charge of a cluster of eight to 10 polling booths and will report to the mandal in-charge.
During a review meeting held at his residence at Jubilee Hills on Tuesday, former minister Mohammed Ali Shabbir called upon the Congress cadres to work for ensuring party candidate Palvai Sravanthi’s victory.
Shabbir Ali instructed the party leaders to complete the constitution of the 25-member booth committees in the next three days, and said that he will convene another meeting with the committee members on September 24.
Reminding that the Congress had recorded a lead of nearly 5,000 votes in the previous elections in Chandur, a mandal in Munugode constituency, Shabbir Ali said that the cadre was highly motivated and was not going to leave any stone unturned to win the byelection. “We will go door-to-door and expose the unholy alliance between the BJP and TRS, and how both the parties have been cheating the people of Telangana during the last eight years,” he said.

The coronavirus pandemic has emptied popular gathering places, but not Colorado’s natural sanctuaries. Far from it.
Along the Front Range where the masses have been working from home or left jobless, trailhead parking spots have been seen packed on weekdays when they’re normally open. That includes Colorado Springs, where officials have ramped up messaging on social distancing and safety.
“We are committed to keeping parks, trails and open spaces accessible, as long as it is responsible to do so,” city parks Director Karen Palus said in a press release outlining public health guidelines.
On Tuesday, Mayor John Suthers reiterated those recommendations in a press conference, saying all hikers, bikers, bird watchers and “sun worshippers” needed to maintain six feet of separation. No one should go out if feeling sick, he said. Team sports should not be played, he added, and children should not be sharing playground equipment.
Suthers said enforcement would increase with park rangers and police officers who would be otherwise assigned to schools.
“And by all means, spread out. Try new parks, trails and open spaces,” Suthers said. “We don’t want to close Garden of the Gods, but we will if we need to.”
Parking lots have also been filled at the city’s other gems — Red Rock Canyon Open Space, North Cheyenne Cañon Park and Palmer Park.
Last week, a barrier was placed at the base of the Manitou Incline, the region’s busiest trail that Manitou’s City Council deemed a health hazard. Near Denver, the popular Waterton Canyon recreation area has been closed. And across America, gates have come down at national parks, including Rocky Mountain National Park.
At least one Colorado Springs city councilman says local preserves should follow suit.
“Close the parks until we can get enough test kits to find out who is in fact carrying the virus,” Bill Murray said in an interview Wednesday. “All I’m asking is to buy us some time to get our act together.”
While the mayor has so far decided against a stay-at-home measure of the sort ordered by Denver’s mayor, Murray has been critical of Suthers, saying: “We are basically watching a Category 5 storm approach us with nobody taking protective measures.”
And while parks have stayed open amid shelter-in-place orders elsewhere — recreation sites remain open during Boulder’s lockdown — Murray suggested the Springs was in a unique position with its broad, bustling base of trail users.
“We may get to the point where we may allow only certain parks to be open,” City Council President Richard Skorman said in a phone call, while strolling a meadow near his home. “But for now, it’s probably something that’s keeping our population from mental health issues.”
In a letter from the Trails and Open Space Coalition (TOSC) and signed by several other local recreation and conservation groups, city officials have been urged to leave parks and trails open.
“Closing them would be another blow to our communities’ collective sprit in coping with this crisis,” the letter read.
TOSC Executive Director Susan Davies encouraged people to visit the nonprofit’s website, where lesser-known getaways are spotlighted as part of the group’s “Get Out Spread Out” campaign.
“We’re trying to give people choices, other options,” Davies said. “Because we know people need to get out.”
The decision makers know, too, said Kurt Schroeder, the city parks department’s maintenance and operations manager. Wednesday afternoon, he said the department has not discussed the possibility of limiting or cutting off access.
“Not yet,” he said, “and we’re hoping we won’t have to.”

The cancellation of Wimbledon 2020, which was due to be played between the 29 June to 12 July, due to coronavirus pandemic makes it another major sporting event to be called off. Earlier, the Summer Olympic games were cancelled and are now to be stage in 2021. In tennis, recently the French Open 2020 was postponed to late September and early October.
The declaration was made on 1st April by Ian Hewitt, All England Lawn Tennis Club chairman. He stated, “This is a decision that we have not taken lightly, and we have done so with the highest regard for public health and the well being of all those who come together to make Wimbledon happen,”.
“Our thoughts are with all those who have been and continue to be affected by these unprecedented times.”Ian Hewitt, All England Lawn Tennis Club chairman
Postponement of Wimbledon Difficult
The cancellation of Wimbledon 2020 may have forced many to think, why wasn’t the tournament postponed to late summer and autumn like the French Open 2020.
The grass court on which the tournament is played and reduced daylight in the late summer and autumn in England make it difficult. Dew sets in on the grass court in late summer and autumn making it difficult to play on it.
Canceled Only Twice In 134 Year History
The tournament, which features various categories,viz. Gentlemen’s singles and doubles, Ladies Singles and doubles, mixed doubles, legends, wheelchair along with juniors, has been played since 1877.
In a history spanning 134 years the Wimbledon Championship has witnessed two brief hiatuses, both during the two World Wars. The Championship had been held every year since, 1946.
The 134th edition of the Wimbledon Championship will now be staged from 28 June to 11 July, 2021.
Although the cramped tennis calendar shall be at ease with the cancellation of Wimbledon 2020, it is utterly disappointing to see a grand slam such as the Wimbledon to be called off. The players have reacted differently via social media on the cancellation of Wimbledon 2020. Let’s look at what the players felt.
Roger Federer Expressed Himself As, “Devastated” .
Former Wimbledon Champion in his twitter related to the cancellation of Wimbledon 2020, wrote that he was “devastated”. His message read, “There is no GIF for these things that I AM Feeling.”

Studies show patients often get better faster during game play
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) November 2013 – Often decried by parents as a waste of a child’s time, video games are increasingly finding favor with older generations and the medical providers who treat them.
In a unique collaboration, clinicians, computer scientists, an electrical engineer and a biomechanist have teamed up with physical therapists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to create a video game that is showing promise in patients undergoing rehabilitation for stroke.
“We’ve seen clinically significant improvements in our patients’ motor function,” said Lynne Gauthier, PhD, a physical therapist who helped design the game. “Other games have been developed for rehab, but not in conjunction with clinicians,” she said.
This particular game makes use of what’s known as constraint-induced movement therapy. In the comfort of their own home, patients put a mitt on their healthy hand to prevent them from using it, and a glove with sensors on the other. Using only their affected hand, patients row an avatar down a river, picking up litter and fending off bats along the way.
“It’s amazing,” said Nancy Henckle, a stroke survivor. “I get so caught up in the game, I forget how hard I’m working,” she said.

RESEARCHERS DEVELOP AT-HOME 3D VIDEO GAME FOR STROKE PATIENTS
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have developed a therapeutic at-home gaming program for stroke patients who experience motor weakness affecting 80 percent of survivors.
Hemiparesis affects 325,000 individuals each year, according to the National Stroke Association. It is defined as weakness or the inability to move one side of the body, and can be debilitating as it impacts everyday functions such as eating, dressing or grabbing objects.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) is an intense treatment recommended for stroke survivors, and improves motor function, as well as the use of impaired upper extremities. However, less than 1 percent of those affected by hemiparesis receives the beneficial therapy.
“Lack of access, transportation and cost are contributing barriers to receiving CI therapy. To address this disparity, our team developed a 3D gaming system to deliver CI therapy to patients in their homes,” said Lynne Gauthier, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation in Ohio State’s College of Medicine.
Gauthier, also principal investigator of the study and a neuroscientist, is collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team comprised of clinicians, computer scientists, an electrical engineer and a biomechanist to design an innovative video game incorporating effective ingredients CI therapy.
For a combined 30 hours over the course of two weeks, the patient-gamer is immersed in a river canyon environment, where he or she receives engaging high repetition motor practice targeting the affected hand and arm. Various game scenarios promote movements that challenge the stroke survivor and are beneficial to recovery. Some examples include: rowing and paddling down a river, swatting away bats inside a cave, grabbing bottles from the water, fishing, avoiding rocks in the rapids, catching parachutes containing supplies and steering to capture treasure chests. Throughout the intensive training schedule, the participant wears a padded mitt on the less affected hand for 10 hours daily, to promote the use of the more affected hand.
To ensure that motor gains made through the game carry over to daily life, the game encourages participants to reflect on their daily use of the weaker arm and engages the gamer in additional problem-solving ways of using the weaker arm for daily activities.
“This novel model of therapy has shown positive results for individuals who have played the game. Gains in motor speed, as measured by the Wolf Motor Function Test, rival those made through traditional CI therapy,” said Gauthier. “It provides intense high quality motor practice for patients, in their own homes. Patients have reported they have more motivation, time goes by quicker and the challenges are exciting and not so tedious.”
Gauthier said that, if this initial trial demonstrates sufficient evidence of efficacy in stroke survivors, future expansion of gaming CI therapy is possible for other patients with traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
Along with Gauthier, other Ohio State researchers involved in the study are Alexandra Borstad, Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, Roger Crawfis, David Maung, Ryan McPherson, Joshua Adams, Jana Jaffe and Amelia Siles. Linda Lowes from Nationwide Children’s Hospital is also a co-investigator on the research.
The study is funded through a grant by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.

Review for Tamahine
I’d never seen or heard of ‘Tamahine’ until now. As part of their relentless British film release programme, Network have unearthed a number of little-seen gems and for my money, ‘Tamahine’ (despite its flaws) is among them.
Although this isn’t a Boulting brothers comedy, it feels like part of the oeuvre. Quintessentially British, putting an outmoded, staid and fading way of life under the microscope by viewing it through the eyes of a pretty but primitive Polynesian native girl.
It’s an incredibly dated film in more ways than one, and some may find some of its themes and approaches patronising in the extreme, but if viewed in the context of its time, it’s actually a charming, gentle comedy which deserves its place in the canon.
Made in 1963, its original working title was ‘The Natives are Restless Tonight’ which is a fun title as it suggests that the natives are not the Polynesians, as you might think, but all the young public school-boys and their masters. Its strap-line on release was the rather salacious, “She loved the whole student body...and they sure loved hers!!!” which might actually promise a bit more sauciness than the film delivers.
It’s a light and breezy comedy film directed by Philip Leacock which starred Nancy Kwan in the title role as a young Polynesian woman who is transported from her primitive and simple life to France and then Britain. Kwan was something of a pin-up girl at the time, exuding exotic oriental charm. Before landing the title role here she had enjoyed great success in the film adaptation of The World of Suzie Wong (1960) three years earlier.
She is ably supported by a brilliant cast, most notably the always brilliant Dennis Price (who famously played Louis Mazzini in the film Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) as well as appearing in countless British greats including many Boulting brothers films) and Derek Nimmo (‘Oh Brother!’) who is always good value as an upper-class ass. John Fraser (The Dam Busters, El Cid) also stars as the romantic lead who falls in love with Tamahine, supposedly a school-boy despite being in his early thirties at the time and looking very much like it!
When her father dies, orphaned teenager Tamahine (Nancy Kwan) is sent from her Polynesian island to live with her Father’s cousin, the terribly staid Charles Poole (Dennis Price). Poole happens to be the headmaster of Hallow (‘Harrow’ anyone?), a prestigious public all-boys school, steeped in tradition. (Much of the filming actually took place at Wellington College where pupils were paid the then princely sum of 30 shillings a day each as extras).
Richard (John Fraser), Poole’s son and a pupil at the school, falls in love with her but she thinks, as they are related, no matter how distantly, that it must be wrong to get involved.
In the meantime, the whole school seems smitten with Tamahine; particularly an art teacher (Derek Nimmo) who makes an ass of himself by inviting her to sit for him. She begins to un-robe, seeing nothing wrong in being naked and Nimmo’s reaction is predictably comedy gold.
There are plenty of other great comic moments which expose the hypocrisy and stupidity of British tradition, like Tamahine’s innocent questioning about the army where she is wondering how killing people is a good way to keep the peace. Naturally Poole is a bit perplexed. Indeed, she even manages to get behind Poole’s somewhat iron and emotionless façade (played out wonderfully in a scene with his daughter where he cannot express any emotion other than to write her cheque, protesting that he’s British!).
Meanwhile, Richard works on his new found love to such a degree that, and with her knowing that a union would be both legal and acceptable in British society, he persuades Tamahine to marry him. He soon settles down to a life like his father’s as a tutor at the college with Tamahine in tow – all right and proper and raising a daughter of her own. In the meantime, art teacher Clove decides to move to a foreign land with Diana, Poole’s daughter and Poole himself decides to head off for a new life on Tamahine’s native island to commune with nature and father some more children with the willing native girls!
It’s all great fun and it’s notable that the film earned a BAFTA nomination for Geoffrey Unsworth, the double-Oscar winning cinematographer whose credits include Cabaret, Tess and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Filmed on location in England, Paris, and Bora Bora, as well as Shepperton studios, it’s a great looking period piece.
If you like fun, bubbly fifties British comedies (despite the fact that this heralds from the sixties) then you’re going to love ‘Tamahine’.

Iran is planning to export its locally produced wheat would be exported to the Arab countries surrounding Iran instead of selling them for a lesser price in the domestic market. This was said by a popular economist of Iran, Hassan Rezaeipour. The volatility in the local job market is to be blamed for this move.
As of now, the price of wheat in international markets is much greater than that of the domestic markets in Iran. Hence, local producers of wheat are planning to export their produce to other Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq. This would result in the local producers making more profits.
Hassan Rezaeipour, when speaking to Pars Herald, also said that the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran must act in this issue and arrive at a solution for the local wheat producers. If the government is able to regulate the rates of wheat in the domestic market or provide support prices, export of wheat can be stopped.
Hassan also blamed the fluctuation in demand and supply of wheat in Iran’s domestic market. Due to this, the price of wheat in the local market has fallen significantly in comparison to the international market and markets of other countries. Iran is still not self-sufficient in wheat production and is importing wheat from other Asian countries such as India and Pakistan.
Still, the farmers are considering exporting their wheat produce to other countries. If journalists and media figures are to be believed, Iran is also facing the issue of wheat smuggling. The price offered by the government of Iran to wheat producers is 6500 Rial per kg. However, businessmen in the free market are purchasing it at higher rates of 10000 Rial.
Iran is a major consumer of wheat with the annual consumption pegging to 8 million tons per annum. On an average, each Iranian consumers nearly 8.7 kg of bread each month, which corresponds to an annual per capita average of 104 kg.

An easy-to-read prison survival guide of do's and don'ts. Perfect for anyone facing trial for an offence that may lead to imprisonment, their families and friends. Packed with humour as well as more serious items. Backed by prisoner support organizations. Straightforward and highly entertaining. Frankie started writing the LBP from day two of entering prison as a first-time offender. He had no idea how the system or a prison worked. He was clueless about it all and it was hard for him going in and frightening for the family and loved ones he left behind. The writing began as self-help and as the days progressed it occurred to Frankie that the LBP would prove useful to first-time offenders as well as other prisoners and help them get through what is surely one of the most difficult times in their lives. It also motivated him to get out on the prison wing and find out as much as possible about his new home. There are a lot of books about people in prison, people in far worse places than Frankie was and on far longer sentences. But the LBP is a book about prison not people, and will help new inmates, their friends and families get to know what to expect from the system. The LBP is a masterpiece in comic writing but somehow gets through to people with serious information in a way that more formal texts cannot. Already organizations connected to the criminal justice system are beginning to acknowledge that Frankie Owen's LBP is an ideal read for people facing the trauma of a first prison sentence. It will also be of considerable interest to other prisoners or people working in a custodial setting. "If people want to know what prison is like it's for them, if people need to know what happens in prison it's definitely for them". 'By the end of the book, I felt like Frankie Owens was my cell-mate. His style and execution is either perversely skilful or an absolute fluke, but whatever it is, it is certainly good': Prison Service Journal. 'Absolutely hilarious, I'm not sure it'll ever be standard prison issue but maybe it should be! Packed full of witty and wry observations and some extremely pertinent advice. It is well-structured, easy to read and informative. I hope he continues writing as The Little Book of Prison is something that the general public would love to read as well as a guide book for other prisoners': Koestler Award Judges 'Funny and educational, in a tongue in cheek kind of way, and has a much wider appeal than you might think': thebookbag.co.uk Frankie Owens was prisoner A1443CA at Her Majesty's pleasure until 2 August 2011. If he had been given the information gathered in LBP, he thinks that the first weeks inside would have been better and the learning curve not as steep.
Cici has a lot to figure out. She's learning how to make friends. She's learning how to be a better big sister. Oh, and she's learning how to use her fairy powers!
Aspiring comic book artist Morning Glory Conroy already has too much to juggle at her San Francisco high school--mean girls, inconsiderate cliques, wannabe gangbangers--without the complication of falling for new student Gabriel. Glory's best friend, Julia, was interested in him first, and if it weren't for Julia's deteriorating home life, Glory wouldn't have had a chance to get Gabriel to herself. But does he count as a real boyfriend if his overbearing guardian forbids even kissing? Soon Gabriel is pushing Glory to show her work at art events, and the new relationship starts taking Glory away from her bff just when Julia needs her. Glory is in for a startling revelation when she discovers not only Gabriel's true identity, but also that of his mischievous cousin Luci, who trails their every move just to cause trouble. Can Glory and Gabriel keep their relationship aloft when the heavens themselves seem to be against it?

Lemons just scream springtime and summertime. Use this tutorial to create a cute lemon door hanger to add that perfect cheery vibe to your front door.
Hey, y’all! Coach Jordan is joining us today with another one of his incredible designs. This time, he’s making a lemon door hanger that’s perfect to hang on a front door on a wall inside your home.
Customers love spring and summer designs that look like they were much harder to make than they actually were. And this cheery door hanger fits the bill!
The yellow and green lemon door hanger makes the perfect backdrop for a sunny summertime design you can make in under 15 minutes.
How To Make A Lemon Door Hanger
For all the Craftpreneurs, try this design because it comes together very quickly and will sell out in your shop even faster! Since it’s a door hanger, it’s different (but just as bright and happy) as our Lemon Wreath.
Here’s everything you need to make this sunny, summer-y, and cheery door hanger.
- Lemon door hanger
- (3) yellow floral picks
- Lemon pick
- Zip ties
- (1) 2.5” ribbon
- (4) 1.5” ribbons
- Hot glue gun and hot glue
Use these step-by-step instructions to put this project together. This project is so quick and easy because we don’t want to hide the amazing lemon door hanger base. Rather, we simply want to accent it so that it will really pop!
We’re going to start by layering the florals.
Spread the florals apart and shape them to give depth and dimension to the design. Layer them so that they look nice and full and have some open space in the middle for a bow.
Add a lemon floral pick on top. Intertwine all the layers of greenery and florals together so they look like one cohesive design. Then secure them with a zip tie in the center.
Grab another zip tie and use it to attach the greenery bunch to the lemon door hanger.
It’s time to make a simple (but funky!) bow by hand.
Grab the 1.5” ribbon and make (2) 6” tails with (1) 4” loop. Repeat this same process with your next 1.5” ribbon, alternating the direction of the loop and tails.
Grab a 3rd 1.5” ribbon to make another layer following the same measurements and process. And add one more layer with the fourth 1.5” ribbon.
Finally, take two 2.5” ribbons and cut one 13” ribbon tail from each ribbon. Dovetail the ends and add them to the bow as a bottom layer.
Grab another zip tie and wrap it around both the center of the bow and the door hanger. Cinch it tight and cut off the excess.
Look over your bow and florals. Dovetail any ribbon tails you may have missed.
If you want to add a small sprig of greenery to the very center of your bow with hot glue. It’s optional but covers up the zip ties and makes the entire design feel cohesive.
Make sure to spread all the tails out so they help make an “x” shape with the loops to make this small bow feel full and gorgeous.
And that’s it! The process is super simple because we really want to highlight the lemon door hanger base rather than hide it!
Note: This design is GREAT for those that want a simple touch or someone who wants a door hanger but doesn’t want something as large as a wreath.
Make This Sunny Lemon Door Hanger For Your Door!
Didn’t Coach Jordan hit it out of the ballpark with this design? He’s SO good at making simple designs that really WOW!
If you’re a Craftpreneur and have never tried selling door hangers before, this design will convert you! You’re going to LOVE how quick and easy it is and how popular they are with customers.

EPA Awards Arkansas Over $3.2 Million to Manage Water Pollution
Stuggart, Ark. (November 20, 2020) — Today, at L.T.D. Farms in Stuttgart, Ark., U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced an award of $3,224,000 to the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Commission to protect water quality statewide. The funding will support management programs for nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution, which is caused when rainfall or snowmelt carries pollutants into rivers, lakes and other waterbodies.
“This funding to the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission will improve environmental protections against nonpoint source water pollution,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Keeping this waste from making it into waterbodies is difficult, but it has to be done, and EPA is happy to help Arkansas get on top of the problem.”
“EPA’s grant funding will help protect vital streams and habitats while ensuring communities have cleaner water,” said Regional Administrator Ken McQueen. “We are grateful for our partnership with Arkansas and looking forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship to improve water quality.”
“Arkansas is fortunate to have an abundance of rivers, lakes, and other waterbodies that contribute greatly to our state’s economy and our way of life. We appreciate the award of this funding that will be used to continue the important programs and partnerships that protect the quality of water across the state,” said Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward.
This funding supports the State of Arkansas’ NPS pollution management program, focusing on watersheds with water quality impairments caused by polluted runoff from nonpoint sources. NPS implementation projects include best management practice installations for animal wastes, sediment, pesticide and fertilizer control; other structural and non-structural practices; watershed planning, monitoring, technology demonstrations; and education and outreach programs.
Unlike pollution from industrial facilities and sewage treatment plants, NPS pollution does not come from a specific place. As precipitation moves over or through the ground, it picks up debris and pollutants and deposits them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground water. NPS pollution can include excess fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides; oil, grease, and toxic chemicals from urban runoff; sediment; drainage from abandoned mines; and bacteria and nutrients from livestock, pet waste and faulty septic systems. States report that NPS pollution is the leading remaining cause of water quality problems.
Congress enacted Section 319 of the Clean Water Act in 1987, establishing a national program to control nonpoint sources of water pollution. Through Section 319, the EPA provides states, territories, and tribes with guidance and grant funding to implement their nonpoint source programs and to support local watershed projects to improve water quality. Collectively this work has restored over 6,000 miles of streams and over 164,000 acres of lakes since 2006. Hundreds of additional projects are underway across the country.

Barry Johnson is seeking re-election — he is one of four candidates seeking four seats on the council in the Nov. 2 election — but he will not be mayor again.
Barry Johnson runs a tight meeting. He prides himself on presiding over some of the shortest meetings — about 20 minutes — in recent Saugatuck city history.
On Monday, Oct. 25, though, he took time to reflect on his two years as mayor of the small tourist town in Allegan County.
“It’s been a pleasure and honor to be mayor of Saugatuck,” he said. “Seems like we’re doing things right.”
Johnson is seeking re-election — he is one of four candidates seeking four seats on the council in the Nov. 2 election — but he will not be mayor again.
The city’s mayor is chosen by the council members and serves for one year. Traditionally, a person serves two years as mayor.
The frequent turnover is good for the city, according to City Manager Kirk Harrier.
“It really keeps the council very healthy,” he said. “It creates a tremendous amount of experience.”
During Johnson’s two years as city leader, five former mayors served on the council: Catherine Simon, Tony Vettori, Mark Bekken, Jeff Spangler and Henry Van Singel.
The mayor’s role is largely ceremonial, with the city manager, clerk and treasurer carrying out the day-to-day city operations.
Johnson has been the voice of the city on television and most recently on a National Public Radio program about the oil spill in the Kalamazoo River. He has cut miles of ribbons to dedicate projects such as the new stairs on Mount Baldhead.
He has also led the city with substantial projects such as a single waste hauler ordinance, the passage of a $3.5 million street improvement program — he jokingly calls his tenure “The golden age of infrastructure” — and the purchase of the 171-acre Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area. He worked with former mayor Vettori on what he calls the crowning achievement of his term.
Johnson will get one more chance to wield the gavel. He will open the Nov. 8 council meeting at 7 p.m. and oversee the election of the next mayor.
“To the next mayor, I’ll give all the support I can,” he added.
Johnson is owner of Saugatuck Brewing Company, 2948 Blue Star Highway in Douglas. The facility opened in 2005 and in 2008, it moved to its current site.
Four people are seeking four seats on the Saugatuck City Council in the Nov. 2 election:
• Mark Bekken, 584 Campbell Road
• Barry Johnson, 334 Main St.
• John Porzondek, 790 Lake St.
• Jane Verplank, 447 Butler St.
The three council members not on the ballot are Jeff Spangler, Bill Hess and Henry Van Singel.
The council appointed David Balas to fill the remaining term of Tony Vettori, who died Aug. 11. Balas serves until the election.

The excellent article by Ewin Hannan in The Australian on Saturday told a depressing story.
That story, as I see it, was about two different approaches to getting change.
One group’s approach is to secure change in workplace relations through negotiation and consensus, through give and take.
The approach of the other group — a group that claims the IR space as its own — is to deliberately and covertly destroy any chance of change by those outside its exclusive club.

The latest stories, funding information, and expert advice. Free to sign up.
The Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) has experienced this before. We will not put up a white flag and will continue to pursue the changes we need for small business employers and their employees.
Our main goal is simplicity — we want an average person employing someone for the first time to be able to understand what the rules are, do what they need to do to give that person a job, and continue running their business. A simpler system will also make it easier for employees to know their rights.
Importantly, COSBOA knows that an all or nothing approach isn’t constructive. We are willing to compromise to create change, even if it’s incremental.
It is disappointing that some organisations that claim to represent small business people do not actually do so, instead spending time behind closed doors secretly undermining good policy for these small and family business people. It is time they are called out.
These groups have previously presented one face to the public, and a different one behind closed doors.
Some time ago, when I first got into the small business advocacy space, I recall that the Rudd government proposed some very solid legislation around removing unfair contract terms for contracts between big and small business. This is an essential requirement particularly in the construction sector, but also in retail.
But, when the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) and the Master Builders’ Association (MBA) got wind of it, they quickly killed it off as their big business members didn’t want to have to treat small business people fairly and openly.
Even though behind closed doors these organisations stopped legislation that was good for small business they still, in public, asserted their complete support for the small business people of Australia. The outcome of their treachery is profound.
As a result, there have been many small business people and families — no one knows exactly how many, but they are in the thousands — who were left to the mercy (or lack thereof) of the biggest construction companies, the biggest landlords, and the biggest supply companies.
Most big businesses probably did the right thing but some didn’t; business families were bankrupted, houses were lost, and caring relationships were destroyed due to no fault of the small business people — not to mention the significant mental health impacts. Have no doubt, the behaviours of these associations are incredibly damaging for small business people and the economy.
To reinforce this lack of concern, one leader of a large chamber of commerce and industry once told me: “The best thing about small business, Mr Strong, is that when one falls over there is always another to take its place.”
This conveys a disgraceful lack of care for the people he claimed to represent.
Eventually, the Abbott government managed to get legislation through. But despite the best of efforts, it was a much watered down version of what we needed.
Now, COSBOA, the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman and others, including the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, are pushing hard for changes to make the unfair contract terms legislation better fit for purpose.
Will ACCI and the MBA — plus others like Australian Industry Group and the Australian Mines and Metals Association — fight against that change behind closed doors, while pretending to support it in public? That will depend, I suppose, on what their big business members want.
These groups have descended into the practice of the true ruling class. They are shooting the messengers and bullying and threatening elected officials behind closed doors. I will deal with their lame insults (eg. “COSBOA is naive” and “COSBOA is an empty drum”) on social media where it is much more fun.
So, let’s ask the following about their behaviours.
Why did this small cabal, the employer industrial relations club, go behind closed doors and move into their own self-focused exclusive WhatsApp world?
Why did they threaten the government of the day with dire consequences if it did not do as it was told?
Why do they bend the truth and promote false narratives?
Why do they not negotiate in good faith?
Why are they distrusted?
The ability of our economy to thrive post-COVID is dependent upon growing productivity and sharing the financial benefits fairly between businesses and employees.
When you read Ewin Hannan’s article you will see that COSBOA, the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Council of Trade Unions have all demonstrated a willingness and ability to adopt a consensus approach.
The others have not. But they did stop change — good change.

The Jaguar F-Pace SVR is now being delivered in India, months after reservations for the high-performance SUV became available. The Jaguar F-Pace SVR costs Rs 1.51 crore in India (ex-showroom).
- The Jaguar F-Pace SVR is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with 550hp.
- Engineers from Jaguar SV improve the suspension and steering.
- The F-Pace SVR is provided with JLR’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment system.
While it hasn’t been long ago Jaguar Land Rover India debuted the newest iteration of the F-Pace SUV in India, the carmaker has piqued the interest of enthusiasts once more with a new offering. This time, it is the handsome F-high-performance Pace’s SVR variant.
Highlights of the Jaguar F-Pace SVR’s exterior and interior
The F-Pace SVR receives new sleek quad-LED headlamps with double-J LED daytime running lamps and adaptive driving beam feature, almost like the quality F-Pace facelift launched earlier this year in India. The F-Pace SVR also features a sportier front bumper with massive gaping air intakes, an SVR-badged grille, a revised bonnet, a sportier rear bumper, and bigger alloy wheels.
The cabin has also been updated to match the quality F-Pace facelift, with the foremost notable change being the curved 11.4-inch touchscreen running JLR’s Pivi Pro system, which may receive over-the-air software updates. a replacement drive selector on the revised center console, a bespoke SVR-spec wheel, and digital dials with SVR-specific graphics are among the other cabin updates. It also has 3D surround camera technology and cabin air ionization.
Jaguar F-Pace SVR powertrain specifications
The F-Pace SVR is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine that generates 550hp and 700Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed transmission system, and power is distributed to all or any four wheels via a typical all-wheel-drive system.
The performance SUV also gets a sportier suspension and better steering handling, and Jaguar claims it can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in 4.0 seconds.
Jaguar F-Pace SVR competitors in India
The Jaguar F-Pace SVR competes with other high-performance SUVs within the country, like the Audi RS Q8, Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe, and BMW X5M.
Jaguar launches in India to arrive
The XF sedan facelift, due in 2022, is going to be a future major launch for British marque in India. Land Rover has also been updating and streamlining its model lineup in recent months, with the introduction of the facelifted Discovery and updated versions of the Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque “as read and reported by www.autocarindia.com”.


“The sands of an arctic volcanic desert are black, shadowless and constantly shifting. There are no trees, buildings or roads and footprints are instantly erased. To survive one must watch the celestial bodies, focus on the horizon, heed the warning of the winds and make clear and precise judgements. The necessary acuteness of thought and tuning of the senses is equivalent to the practice of architecture where listening, reevaluation and production are all equally interdependent.” – Beginning of Studio Granda’s practice statement, found at http://www.studiogranda.is/
Today I met with Steve Christer from Studio Granda. He started the firm with Margrét Hardardóttir in 1987, a few years after completing their studies at the Architectural Association in London. They have a completed as number of notable buildings in Reykjavik, such as the City Hall and Reykjavik Art Museum as well as a variety of other school, private residence, and urban projects.
Setting up meetings during the major travel season (for tourists as well as Icelandic people) has been a challenge. The work day starts earlier here in Reykjavik. After trying to juggle travel schedules, we found the only time we could both meet was at the right at the start of their week, Monday at 7:30 am. Their office is just a few blocks from the water in an unassuming 2 story building set back behind another low building that Studio Granda is currently renovating. Our meeting was brief but provided a useful perspective as I began my research in Iceland.
Q: How did the financial crisis affect Studio Granda’s practice?
A: Studio Granda estimates that 90% of their projects came to a halt during a period 10 days. Because they had a diversity of projects and clients they thought they might be more insulated from the crash, but unfortunately that was not the case. They had nine people in the firm, and now they have two. But, with their reduced size they have been able to do relatively well. For example, I saw drawings for interior renovations and a new private residence, and they have teaching positions. However, the market has yet to turn and there are still limited prospects.
Q: Several Studio Granda projects have been held up as examples of sustainable design. The Reykjavik City Hall has green moss walls that appear to float atop Tjörnin lake (the lake where the first inhabitants of Iceland settled). Their Hof Residence in Skagafordur was recently featured in the New York Times. How do they approach sustainability?
A: Steve is critical of branding designs as “sustainable” and suggested that Iceland has not developed in that way. I got the impression from his and others’ reactions that there are many students and researchers who come to Iceland looking for some sort of utopia of clean energy and green buildings, and that this is an over-simplification that ignores past developments based on greed, profits, or shortsightedness.
For over a thousand years Iceland was poor and life was based on subsistence- this is inherently low impact and in that sense sustainable. But with the trend of a rising standard of living and wealth, growth was embraced and sustainability was not at all a main factor. Furthermore, there is a difference between the image of sustainability (dripping moss walls at the city hall) and the actuality of it (the city hall is not intended to be nor does it function as an “ecological“ building).
In Iceland there is more built space can be used- that is not sustainable. Steve suggests a legitimate method towards actually sustainability is to reuse and make existing spaces function with the current needs.
Q: Adaptive reuse is a valid strategy, but are there times when there are new needs that cannot be fulfilled with the current building stock? Furthermore, is being limited to reuse essentially self-defeating as an architect? If new development is going to occur, shouldn’t it attempt to do so in a non-detrimental way? What about the Hof Residence- that seems to have a very specific relation to the site and use of materiality?
A: Of Studio Granda’s projects, that ones comes the closest to fulfilled what can be defined as “sustainable.” It is oriented to let in daylight but protect from strong sun angles, and uses turf as the roof material. It incorporates local materials and uses concrete, which can be produced in Iceland. The house is also a very well used space, as the family has many visitors. The family breeds horses on the property, which is a staple of the economy in Skagafordur. The high profile family and project helped attract attention to the region and in this way helps to bolster the economy of the area. But there are several caveats. For example, the source of stones for the floors was extremely local, but it had to be shipped out to a mason who could cut it. Also, it is a large (3000sf) private residence located away from a town.
More images of the Hof house can be found at http://www.archdaily.com/13324/hof-residence-studio-granda/
Q: Does the long history of turf houses in Iceland make it a more obvious choice?
A: Despite the abundant examples of turf as a roof material, Studio Granda still had to do a bit of convincing to assure the Icelandic client that the turf roof would not leak or be a maintenance issue.
Q: What does a typical wall section for a building look like in Iceland?
A: Nowadays, they typically use approximately 150mm of concrete with 4” of insulation and the interior layer. This is not necessarily proportionate to level of insulation usage in comparison to the US. Although as a whole the heating load is larger in Iceland, the winters are not more extreme than in New York City. The upper level of Studio Granda’s office is a concrete wall with two air gaps that are separated by a vapor barrier- this functions relatively well as an insulator. Steve described to the manner in which the surrounding buildings protect from cold winds, and the certain areas that have local conditions that make them less comfortable. While perhaps sensitivity to site has not been a ubiquitous guiding principle for Icelandic buildings, Studio Granda certainly has a refined awareness of it.
Q: What are some of Studio Granda’s ongoing projects and prospects for the future?
A: During the discussion there was a model on the table for a large single-family residence, relations of the owners of the Hof Residence. Monochromatic and at a small scale, the elegant roof form was the first noticeable design element. Reacting to a trapezoidal site, the roof along one end is flat, which creates a modern roof line. As it spans the building footprint it becomes pleated and contracted, changing in section to something that abstractly references the traditional gable front “burstabær” of the turf houses.
Iceland may not have a large amount of natural resources and the economy is now sluggish- but some of the materials at their disposal are light, shadow, and the talents of Icelandic people.


The snow is holding up well at Canada Olympic Park. So much so that WinSport Canada decided to add one more weekend on to the winter ski and snowboard season before prepping for summer.
Canada Olympic Park, which usually closes at the end of March, has extended their season. The ski hill plans to open again Apr. 4-5 for skiing and snowboarding.
Season passes are on sale until Apr. 30. The 2009-10 winter season passes cost 33 percent less throughout April. Current season passholders who purchase next year's pass before the end of April will be eligible to win their pass.
Canada Olympic Park runs its summer recreation operations from mid-May through September. Activities include mountain biking, a ropes challenge course, and the Skyline at the Park. The Skyline sails from the top of the ski jump tower at speeds of 120-140 kilometers per hour. COP also runs kids' adventure camps and mountain biking camps for kids, teens, and women.
Those planning to attend the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games may want to visit COP's Olympic Hall of Fame and Museum to psych up for the event. The museum, which is open daily, boasts the largest collection of Olympic memorabilia in Canada, including over twenty Olympic torches. One even hails from the 1936 Berlin Games.
Days and hours of operation for different activities vary throughout the summer season. Check rates and schedules online.

Cecil Frances Alexander was working with her pupils in Sunday School. As some of her pupils were struggling to understand the Apostles Creed and portions of the catechism, she began to convert these truths into songs for children to explain the Christian faith and understanding.
The creed begins with, “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.” It was for the phrase, Maker of Heaven and Earth that she wrote her hymn called, ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL. This was one of the hymns Alexander published in her 1848 book entitled, "Hymns for Little Children." This publication became one of the most successful hymn-publishing projects in history, going through over one hundred editions.
Her hymn reminds us of such a wonderful truth that not only has God made all these bright and beautiful creations but He has also given us eyes to see them and lips to tell of them.
