Reading is my oldest and favorite hobby. I literally can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t love to curl up with a good book. Here are my reads for December, 2015…
Fables, Volume 3: Storybook Love, by Bill Willingham – I am getting more and more interested in the Fables series as I continue to read through the comics – especially the budding romance between Snow White and Bigby Wolf. In this volume, an assassination plot throws Snow and Bigby together in the wilderness with surprising results. I love new twists on familiar stories, so I’m enjoying this.
Gotham Academy, Volume 1: Welcome to Gotham Academy, by Becky Cloonan – My first foray into DC Comics! The Gotham Academy comic follows Olive Silverlock, student at a prestigious boarding school in Gotham, through roommate and boyfriend troubles – but there’s more. Something happened over the summer – something involving Olive’s mother – that left Olive shaken and with a new fear of bats. And now Gotham Academy might be haunted! I found the story a bit difficult to follow, but the art was fun and the characters – especially adorable Maps! – were engaging.
Carry On, by Rainbow Rowell – I tried to describe Carry On to my husband, and what I came up with was “Fanfiction about fanfiction about a fictional book about gay wizards.” Is it any wonder he was confused? Let me try to explain: in Rowell’s popular YA novel Fangirl, main character Cath writes “fic” about a Harry Potter-esque series of novels called the “Simon Snow” series. Carry On is Rowell’s take on Simon’s story. It’s not meant to represent Cath’s “fic,” nor is it meant to be an actual Simon Snow novel by “Gemma T. Leslie” on which Cath’s fanfiction was based. It’s basically Rowell’s fanfiction about fictional characters she herself created. Still confused? It’s okay. Me too. So, I moderately enjoyed Carry On, but I didn’t think it really lived up to its potential. There was a lot of back story that was not presented (and I’ve read Fangirl – not all of the back story was in there, either) and I had the sense that the characters had a very vivid history that would have informed and deepened the story had I known what it was. (Constant references to “that time Simon…” or “that time Baz…”) It made for a frustrating reading experience. All told, it was too bad, because (meta as it was) Carry On could have been really terrific, but instead left me a little flat.
Batgirl, Volume 1: The Batgirl of Burnside, by Cameron Stewart – My next trip into Gotham was easier to understand. Barbara – moonlighting as Batgirl – has moved to Burnside (basically, Brooklyn to Gotham’s Manhattan) to get away from a turbulent past. (Not all of the back story was presented, but I gather that Batgirl ended the last series of her comic recuperating after being shot by the Joker?) She’s picked up some troublemaking new friends, her college project is in dire straits, and she’s got one heck of a social media addiction – can Batgirl keep it all together? I really liked this! I thought the art and the characters were a lot of fun, and the story was modern and exciting.
Browsings: A Year of Reading, Collecting and Living With Books, by Michael Dirda – Big disappointment here. Normally, Browsings is a book that would ring ALL of my bells. A book of personal essays ABOUT BOOKS! Written by a Washington Post columnist! With frequent references to DC and liberal politics! But… gahhhhh. Dirda came across as pedantic, pretentious, and deadly dull. He seems to be a borderline hoarder who has never grown out of a childish predilection for classifying books as “girl books” and “boy books” (he actually refers to “boy books” with approval, more than once) and refusing to read books for the “wrong” sex. And he kept ramming ponderous, self-consciously witty sentences with far too many clauses down the reader’s throat, while at the same time assuring the reader that his writing style is pared-down to the point of being austere. (Sorry, Mr. Dirda. Hemingway, you are not.) I plugged doggedly away at this book far past the point when I should have given up. And I was occasionally rewarded – “Aurora,” Dirda’s moving call to action on gun control, was a really breathtaking piece of writing. But the gems were buried in way too much rock.
Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World, by Linda Hirshmann – As a female lawyer, I owe a lot to O’Connor and Ginsburg, and I really enjoyed reading this fascinating history of their careers. Their rises to the top of the legal profession were similar in many ways, and yet in many other ways, could not have been more different. The book focused a great deal on Ginsburg’s employment discrimination cases from her time as an ACLU litigator, which were of particular interest to me, as I am a labor lawyer. Sisters provided great information and lots of food for thought about feminism (and helped me crystallize my thinking about how we got to the point where we find ourselves today – with a very long way to go).
Black Widow Volume 1: The Finely Woven Thread, by Nathan Edmondson – I’d been itching to find out more about Black Widow before her movie comes out (not for awhile, but I had a suspicion that I might like the character, and I was right). Natasha Romanoff is trying to make amends for her past as a KGB assassin, taking on dangerous – and often seemingly hopeless – assignments for little pay in order to support her “web” (which I took to be made up of individuals and families she harmed during her time as an assassin). I liked getting a glimpse at Natasha’s world and Black Widow’s adventures, and I will definitely be following her. I found Black Widow much easier to understand than Captain Marvel. And enjoyed it that much more.
The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1), by Rick Riordan – New Rick Riordan! New Rick Riordan! Let’s all just take a second and do a happy dance for NEW! RICK! RIORDAN! (I just love Rick Riordan.) So, The Sword of Summer isn’t brand new, but it’s the most recent Riordan and it’s also the start of a new trilogy focusing on the Norse gods, with a new leading character – Magnus Chase, homeless Bostonian cousin of bad@$$ daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase (HAPPY DANCE FOR ANNABETH!). Magnus has been living on the streets for two years after his mother was killed by terrifying monster wolves (wut) when one day, his Uncle Randolph – whom Magnus’s mother warned him never to trust – tracks him down and starts mumbling about ancient weapons, birthrights, all kids of weird mumbo jumbo. Then a fire giant attacks Boston and Magnus dies. The end. Okay, not the end! There’s lots more to come from Magnus’s adventures – he finds himself in Valhalla and then out of it again, searching for a legendary sword alongside a dwarf, an elf, and a Valkyrie – and racing against time to stop Ragnarok. As Percy Jackson does with the Greek gods, Magnus encounters Norse deities including Thor and Odin, and it’s clear that while Rick Riordan has a very modern sensibility and a ripping sense of humor, he also totally knows his stuff. Riordan’s books are surprisingly smart for being such entertaining reads, and now I can’t wait for the next Magnus adventure. (I loved the character of Magnus – even more than I loved Percy Jackson; a warning, though – this book was more violent than any of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians novels.) Only complaint: not enough Annabeth! Always need more Annabeth!
The Givenness of Things: Essays, by Marilynne Robinson – Robinson’s newest collection of essays combines theology, political science, history, comparative literature study, and more disciplines – all mixed together and spun into breathtaking arguments by her remarkable mind. I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand more than about five percent of what Robinson was talking about, but WOW, was this a wonderful book. It’s hard for me to know what to say, because there was just so much to this slim volume and I’m still processing it – but I think it’s well worth reading for anyone who has to live in this crazy messed up America, which is many of us.
A good December, and a good 2015 in books! Next week I will wrap up my year in reading, somewhat belatedly, but I’m happy with where I’m ending up. December was a great mix of fun (Magnus Chase! comics!) and thought-provoking (Supreme Court! Marilynne Robinson!) and I ended the year on a high note with Givennness. It was a bit of a challenge to fit much reading into December, what with the holidays, work stuff, and some sick days for the kids (pinkeye for Nugget, croup for Peanut) but I squeezed it in wherever I could and, as always, turning pages made me feel more grounded and comforted. January is looking to be another busy month as we prepare to move, but I’m sure I will keep reading through it all.

Top 5 Movies To Watch This Easter
Jesus is the foundation of Christian faith. He was God’s son according to the Bible, and was sent on earth to save man kind. However, His entry, exit and re-entry events in to the world were the most profound of His life, such that today, the world most celebrated holiday is Christmas and the second most celebrated Holiday is Easter.
Easter is a whole 4 days of relaxing, from Friday to Saturday, perfect for binge watching. So this Easter we recommend the following movies to watch this weekend.
1. Star Wars: The force awakens, Where to Watch: DVD
Now available in DVD, this is the biggest selling movie in the US of ALL TIME. It is bigger than Titanic, Avatar and the rest. It is on its way to become the biggest selling movie of all time. So if you haven’t checked it out this is best time to get updated and see what all the fuss is all about.
Some good things about the Force Awakens is that it was made by my favorite director JJ Abrams, who zeal for capturing emotion – and not useless CGI – makes the best movies and TV series (from Felicity, to Alias, to Lost to Mission Impossible III). This director is no joke. And just to mention, again, our own Lupita Nyongo features in this movie too! But her character is a CGI character…will you be able to identify Lupita?
2. Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Where to Watch: Movie Theatre
All the major theaters including IMAX Nairobi and Nyali Cinemax are screening Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice a whole 2 weeks in advance before it is scheduled to be officially released. That is a sign of how popular this movie is, or more realistically, how strong the demand is to watch it. The latest i checked tickets were going for as much as Ksh. 1,200 at IMAX and that must be a reflection of demand – even Star Wars The Force Awakens was not charged that much yet it was immensely popular.
So if you can take your friends out for an awesome action movie, this is it.
3. Marine 4: Moving Target, where to watch: DVD
Remember the old school “ma gani” thing where everthing was a simple story with a single star and a lady in distress, followed by gunshots all over the place and no nonsense action scenes from start to finish?
Marine 4 is a movie that know exactly what it is – action – and delivers on the promise. If you want nonstop action this is the movie to watch this weekend.
4. Room, where to watch: DVD
Prepare for a chilling yet moving story from this Academy Winning movie Room. Have a handkerchief nearby as this is one truly well made emotional movie about a mother and a daughter trapped in a room for a long time by a criminal.
5. Alvin and the chipmunks: The Road Chip, where to watch: DVD
Sometimes Hollywood makes some crazy and funny animation movies out of this world. Whoever created Alvin and the Chipmunks deserves a pat on the back. This is one movie that’s good and funny for the entire family and it is an absolute rib cracker.
The perfect movie for Easter, when everyone is around.

Recently a member of the City of Saskatoon involved with City planning came to our office and gave a very interesting presentation. It was about their strategic plan to aide our city to accomodate our growing population. The goal...... an "Intergrated Growth Plan" for the growth of Saskatoon to a population of 500,000.
The two major topics were:
- Building Intergrated communities wethier it be planning out our new communities with a wide range of amenities, employment areas, transit options, mixed use residential. Make these communities diverse and complex, allow for many walking trails, bike trails make everything more accessable to pedestrians. Make it more Transit oriented. I believe our best example of this is our newest community of Evergreen.
- Or perhaps it is re-defined neighbourhoods. This will include infill development, developing rapid mass transit in high density areas. Allowing people in these neighbourhoods to live, work, shop and relax or spend time outdoor's all in the same area. that will be easily accesable by walking, riding or transit!
- As we focus a little more on developing with in the heart of our city, we will still be expanding outwards east and west as well! We are already moving away from a City where " it only takes 15 min to get anywhere in the city". So how do we get back to that? We will have to focus on moving people around but not necesarilly in their cars. This will include incorporation of rapid mass transit.
- Another idea is to change the street designs for neighbouhoods. Do you live in a neighbourhood where it is necessary to have a car to get what you need to survive? A great example of this is the neighbouhood of Silversprings. All arterial streets provide very limited access and you must leave the area to work or shop.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
We would like to share the following items which describe the impact that the coronavirus pandemic is having on the industry. Please contact the FIVS Secretariat with items that may be of interest.
Germany: Easter lockdown announced – Facing dangerous COVID variants and a third wave of infections, Germany’s Chancellor announced a hard lockdown from 01-05 April 2021, including some supermarkets, with the exception of Easter Saturday. Easter services may only take place virtually, and private gatherings will be limited to two households with a maximum of five people. Outdoor catering will be closed during those five days.
Poland: Partial lockdown in effect – New restrictions effective from 22 March to 09 April 2021, applying to the whole of Poland, have been instituted to curb a third COVID-19 wave. Hotels, casinos, cinemas, and amusement parks have been closed, and catering activity will be allowed only for take away or delivery. The Minister of Health has not ruled out the possibility of imposing further restrictions.
Lithuania: Alcohol smuggling surges during pandemic – Lithuania’s Customs Department has reported that smuggling volumes of alcohol beverages were almost six times higher during the pandemic. Customs officers seized 14.5 tons of illegal alcohol during 2020, compared with 2.5 tons during the previous year.
Australia: Impact on hospitality industry after year one – This article reviews the impact that the pandemic has had on Australia’s hospitality sector since its Prime Minister placed the country in lockdown one year ago on 23 March 2020 – when pubs, bars, and clubs joined the list of venues forced to close their doors, but bottle shops were classified as essential services.
United States: Industry seeking to make pandemic gains permanent – Legislation regarding alcohol beverages in the United States reportedly has changed more dramatically during the pandemic than at any point since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, which left rules governing the industry up to each state. Although no state allowed to-go sales of alcohol beverages prior to the pandemic, 33 states and the District of Columbia began to allow take-away sales from bars and restaurants in 2020. Legislation to make that policy permanent has been introduced in each of those 33 states, though the progress of those bills has been uneven.
Poland: Alcohol prices up 40% during pandemic – Analysis of over 255,000 alcohol prices in stores from 01 March 2020 to 28 February 2021 in Poland found that the price of alcohol rose by 39.5%, compared with the corresponding period in 2019-2020. Wine prices increased by nearly 31%; spirits, liqueurs, and creams rose by almost 50%; and beer increased by less than 13%. The price of cider fell by about 25%.
Spain: 55% of 18-to-34-year-olds drank less & 18% of 35-to-65-year-olds drank more during pandemic – Research funded by the Government Delegation for the National Plan on Drugs (PNSD) of Spain’s Ministry of Health reportedly showed that more than half of adults between 18 and 34 years of age decreased their alcohol consumption during home confinement due to the pandemic. However, in the age group between 35 and 65 years, about 50% did not vary their consumption and 18% increased it. More than eight hundred people participated in a survey that served as the basis for the study.
United States: Lockdowns linked to harmful alcohol use – A study published in Psychiatry Research and conducted by the Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab at the University of Arizona that screened 6,000 people from April – September 2020 has reportedly linked the harmful use of alcohol beverages with lockdowns during the pandemic. Those individuals who were not under lockdown showed little change in alcohol consumption. For those kept at home due to lockdowns, however, harmful use apparently increased month by month. Most alcohol consumption occurred among those who had lost their jobs due to COVID-19.

An Approach to Human-Like Grasping Control
Hiroshi Endo and Mitsuo Wada
Industrial Products Research Institute, AIST, MITI, 1-1-4 Higashi, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki 305, Japan
Published:August 20, 1989
Keywords:Robot hand, Multi joint arm, Grasping control, Flexible action
In order to grasp softly and stably with multi joint arm, the motion control of adapting along an object and pinching it are very important. Then the adapting motion is done by operating the active of winding and lateral suppression to change its formation, and the pinching one is done by controlling arms' root joints co-operatively. From the experiment with 6-joint 7-link arm, the control method simulating those motions was found.

Use Different Dietray Sources Of Energy In Growing Finishing Sheep RationsH.M. Metwally ; Etab Ramadan Ibrahim Abd El-Galil
AbstractTapioca was including in growing finishing lamb rations for 90 days before marketing ,to study its effect on daily weight gain ,carcass characteristics ,feed intake, Feed conversion and rumen parameters in comparison with barely and corn grains. Invitro and Invivo digestion trials were conducted to study dry matter disappearance and digestion for tapioca, barely and corn. Thirty ossimi lambs were used in feeding trial through which sample were collected to determent digestion coefficient of experimental diets. Results showed no significant differences(P>0.05) among the three foodstuff . Chemical analysis cleared that ash and ADF contents higher for tapioca while its contents of EE and CP lower than barely and corn. Feeding trials were indicated that diets containing tapioca was the greatest value in daily weight gain and dry matter intake(186.60 and 2195.0 (g/ h/d) ) while feed conversion was no significant difference(P>0.05) with experimental diets . Live body weight and carcass weight in diet content tapioca (49.0 and 26.50 kg) were higher than (P<0.05) diet content barely or corn (45.10 and 24.2 or 44.90 and 23.50 kg, respectively). Digestibility indicated that tapioca diet was less DM,OM,ADF and nitrogen than other diets. It was concluded that tapioca can replace barely or corn in growing finishing lamb diets and improve carcass parameters ,average daily gain without adversely affecting daily gain or dry matter intake, with takes economic factors .

NEP implementation to be challenging, says Dr. Yhome
KOHIMA— The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) should take challenges faced by Nagaland into consideration while implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in the state, said Advisor of School Education and State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Dr. Kekhrielhoulie Yhome.
He was addressing the inaugural programme of the four-day regional workshop on a ‘Study on school assessments and examination practices and equivalence of boards’, organised by the PARAKH in collaboration with the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) in Kohima, on Monday.
Asserting that the NEP 2020 focuses on vocational education, he urged the members to take cognizance of the vocational diversity in the state. He added that schools in the state are struggling to find vocational teachers to impart indigenous skilling practices to students, as it requires resources.
The advisor pointed out that language is another challenge faced by the state, as there are more than 20 languages in Nagaland alone, making it difficult to implement the mother tongue-based education as envisaged by the NEP 2020.
He opined that the NCERT should be more open to the ideas and have an open access policy.
Since its establishment in 1974, the NBSE has been functioning with best practices and a lot of structural changes had taken place over the years, the advisor said, adding that the board has come a long way, facing a lot of structural challenges.
Highlighting the purpose of the programme, Professor MV Srinivasan, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), said the main intention of the workshop was to understand how the state boards are functioning.
‘The workshop, mostly based on the questionnaire method, has been designed to understand each other, understand how school is performing and understand as a society. This is because there is no sufficient publication and information from the boards. Therefore, the team is trying to understand from the board perspective,’ he said.
He informed that similar workshop had been conducted in the past and the ongoing seminar in Nagaland is the fourth one. After collecting data, it would see the possibilities of working together towards helping the society and to upgrade in order to help the students and the society.
NBSE Chairman, Asano Sekhose said the National Assessment Centre — Performance Assessment, Review and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development (PARAKH) — as a standard-setting body with the basic objectives of setting norms, standards and guidelines for students’ assessment and evaluation for all recognised school boards of India, has conducted the workshop on time.
She added that it will enable the Boards share its best practices to ensure equivalence of academic standards among learners across all school boards.
She said the focus of assessment and examination is now shifting to competency-based testing, testing of core concepts and knowledge, higher order skills and its application in real-life situation, moving away from rote learning.
How the assessments are conducted is going to determine the classroom teaching in schools, she said while expressing hope that all stakeholders can bring about positive changes in its assessment practices and make the examination more relevant and credible for the learners.
‘The NEP 2020 recommends assessments to be student-friendly with greater flexibility to give young people more opportunities to improve their performance in the examinations. In this regard, the Board has revised its X existing rules to align with NEP 2020 recommendations by incorporating new provisions in the conduct of examinations to make the assessment more student-friendly,’ she added.
Iluheing Nsarangbe, Joint Secretary of NBSE, informed that 159 private schools and 97 government schools under Samagra Shiksha have currently opted vocational education (VE). This is towards achieving the target of providing vocational education to at least 50% of the students in the school and higher education system by 2025, in accordance with the NEP 2020.
He also said that the Financial Literacy Certificate course was introduced in 2016 in collaboration with the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) in classes 9 and 10. It has been made mandatory for all registered schools of the Board to introduce the course from this year, he added.
The workshop, which aimed at addressing the challenges and explore potential solutions related to the varying quality and standardisation of educational boards across the country, was attended by representatives from Nagaland, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura states, as well as officials from the Council for Indian Certificate Examination, National Institute of Open Schooling, and NCERT.

Endangered coho salmon populations, which already faced hardships during dry seasons, are now faced with more looming danger due to climate change and human water use. Every year, as streamflow naturally recedes, juvenile coho salmon are faced with the task of migrating downstream through increasingly shallower water to the ocean. Climate change is anticipated to make these dry spells more frequent and intense. Drought conditions also reduce water availability for human use, resulting in further stream water diversions to aid local communities.
This reduced streamflow has been identified as a key bottleneck in the recovery of these endangered salmon, resulting in the need for strategies to better manage water use and stream diversions.
In this project, researchers aim to determine the minimum necessary water levels and streamflows that support the coho salmon downstream migration. They then plan to use the data to build a model for the necessary water conservation to protect coho salmon. These factors will also be used in collaborative efforts with a community partner organization to develop water management strategies that protect the necessary streamflow for salmon and maintain water security for local communities.
Their findings can pave the way for more resilient coastal freshwater management in regions prone to drought, which face an even more uncertain future as climate change progresses. Improved management will prove critical not only in the protection of salmon, but also in the water security of local communities.

Claire Williams hinted that "a number of announcements we will be making over the coming weeks"
The new line-up reflects Williams' determination to bring success back to the team.
After twelve years, the end of an important page in the history books for Felipe the man and for the team he grew up.
Felipe Massa finished eighth and Fernando Alonso failed to make the cut into Q3 and will start tomorrow’s race from eleventh on the grid.
Mark Webber stunned the paddock and the Red Bull team by pinching the pole out of the hands of his team mate on the Yas Marina Circuit.
Indian GP - Encouraging signs?
Alonso finished in 4th, but Massa's drivethrough penalty affected his race finishing 10th.
Felipe Massa done a lap of 1.31.378, while Fernando Alonso did it in 1.31.665.
Eric Boullier says they gave Kimi Raikkonen the right tools to get his self-confidence back. And confirmed rumors that he is a highest paid driver in 2013.

I am building a client base of individual authors, and I’m excited to introduce Placerville, CA-based Kimberly Foss, and her book Wealthy By Design: A Five-Step Plan for Financial Security.
Ben Stein (yes, that Ben Stein) blurbed the book: “Solid investment advice. Kimberly Foss puts the hay down on the ground where the goats can get it; this is wisdom anyone can follow, learn from, and from it, draw financial freedom.”
Last December Foss contacted me and said she wanted a fresh pair of eyes on the book. Someone who hadn’t read any previous drafts. Someone who could tell her whether the whole thing was hanging together or not. Could I please smooth out the seams? And I did, with pleasure.
At first glance I thought, well, I’m not part of the target audience but it will be fun to pretend I’m in the market for top-notch wealth management services. My most recent investment was a home purchase at the height of the housing market bubble in 2006. We sold post-bubble, in July 2009. But there is light at the end of the tunnel: in a few years our son will start public school and we will be able to invest actual chunks of money toward our retirement, our children’s college education, possibly even orthodontia.
But in the manuscript I found, and helped the author beef up, plenty of material that fit her goal of being aspirational; that is, addressing the Talk to Chuck crowd and beginning investors who are still learning the fundamentals. All readers, no matter their ability to pay for orthodontia, will appreciate Kimberly Foss’s personal story, which she calls her financial autobiography. It threads through the book, illustrating each of the five steps in surprising ways.
She published with Greenleaf Book Group in Austin, TX.

Dog Haus is a spot for gourmet hot dogs, burgers and beer. The space at 2464 N. Lincoln Ave. is the first Chicago location for the Pasadena, California-based chain.
In addition to the specialty hot dogs and sausages, customers can expect a variety of burgers like the Little Mule, with avocado, pickled jalapenos, cotija cheese, fried egg and chipotle aioli; or the Holy Aioli, with smoked bacon, caramelized onions and garlic aioli. (You can check out the full menu here.)
With a 4.5-star Yelp rating out of 36 reviews, Dog Haus has been getting positive attention.
David S., who was the first to review Dog Haus on March 18, wrote, "Got the Ringer burger, which was delicious, and the tots were perfect. My girlfriend is celiac and they were very accommodating to gluten allergies."
"Burgers and sausages and bacon wrapped hot dogs next to chili cheese tots all delivered quickly and piping hot," wrote Yelper Steven B. of the food. "If you've never had a burger with a fried egg, welcome to the next chapter of your life."
Dog Haus is open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Veggie Grill is the largest vegetarian chain in the country, offering burgers, salads, "chicken" tenders and more. The location at 204 N. Wells St. is its second in Chicago, as Eater reports.
Diners interested in burgers can expect offerings made from the chain's signature "beyond burger" meat substitute, in configurations like the Lucky Star: smoked gouda 'cheese,' balsamic onions, blue cheese sauce, arugula and sriracha ketchup on a pretzel bun. (You can take a look at the full menu here.)
With a 3.5-star rating out of 37 reviews on Yelp, Veggie Grill is still finding its way, but it's early days.
"This vegan fast food franchise is a dream come true. As a long-time vegetarian, I'm not a huge fan of imitation meat, but Veggie Grill really delivers," Yelper Kelli C., who reviewed Veggie Grill on April 21, wrote. "I highly recommend their burgers and wings."
And Yelper Karen K. wrote, "The food has been consistently delicious (I'm not a vegetarian and I love it!) You get a huge portion of fries, and they aren't greasy like other places. I like that there are still some soft fries in there for those who don't like crispy."
Veggie Grill is open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Finally, The Shelby is a bar and traditional American spot, offering burgers and more. It's now open at 2759 W. Augusta Blvd. in the former space of Haywood Tavern -- but with the same chef and owners, as Eater reports.
The menu at the Shelby, with entrees divided into "burgers" and "not burgers," features house styles for beef, lamb, turkey, and veggie burgers. The lamb, for instance, comes with manchego, piquillo pepper, arugula and quince mustard.
Diners can also customize burgers or baked potatoes to their taste with toppings like duck-fat mustard, brisket chili and pork belly croutons. (You can check out the full menu here.)
The Shelby currently holds four stars out of 16 reviews on Yelp, indicating a positive response from patrons.
Yelper Corinne M., who reviewed The Shelby on April 10, wrote, "Go here for the impossible burger! My boyfriend and I split it in half on a Monday. By the following Friday, we were back for the full thing, individually."
And Meredith K. wrote, "My boyfriend tried the beef burger and he said he's putting it in his top 5 list. This is a list that starts with Au Cheval and The Loyalist. He said this is the burger that has convinced him that eggs are good on burgers."
The Shelby is open from 5 p.m.-2 a.m. on weekdays, 11 a.m.-3 a.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m.-2 a.m. on Sunday.

Like most supporters of independence, I’m deeply committed but a pragmatist.
I believe that at the heart of this aspect of the debate lies a question of definition which could be dismissed as semantics, but which I believe is critical.
Mr Hamilton returns to this subject (Letters, 20 May) and is firmly of the opinion that an independent Scotland will not be a continued member.
What the Scottish Government has said is that it will apply for membership through Article 48 under the principle of “Continuity of Effect”, on the basis that Scotland has complied with the required criteria related to all statutes and treaties for more than 40 years.
There is a difference. It is the view of the Scottish Government, and this has been backed up by legal experts, that this does not constitute enlargement and so the comments of Stefan Fule, European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, which are based on Scotland applying as a completely new applicant have limited relevance.
Mr Hamilton consistently makes the point about the reference in Scotland’s Future to seamless accession as if it was being claimed this would happen on 19 September, 2014 rather than some 18 months to two years later after a lengthy period of negotiation.
Additionally, I think unionists have a tendency to underestimate the strength of Scotland’s negotiating position and the attitude of EU members to Scotland needs to be viewed in the context of the UK’s in/out referendum.

According to the Ukrainian Navy, all construction work is being carried out in accordance with the schedule set out in the agreement. In view of the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, the entire ship will be built in Türkiye.
This is the second ship of this class that Turkish Shipyards is building for the Ukrainian Navy. The first corvette, Hetman Ivan Mazepa, was laid down in September 2021.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine signed a contract for the construction of two corvettes with Turkish companies in December 2020.
Ukrainian Ada-class corvette
In July 2023, 2nd Rank Captain Volodymyr Uhlinskyi said that the second Ada-class corvette could be named after Hetman of the Ukrainian State Pavlo Skoropadskyi.
It was noted that the second vessel would receive a different propulsion system and MICA VL air defense systems.
The warship’s artillery armament is supposed to consist of 76-mm OTO Melara Super Rapid and 35-mm Millennium guns, although the Turkish 35-mm Korkut air defense system could be seen on the model of the first ship, which was presented to the first lady of Ukraine.
The ship carries eight anti-ship cruise missile launchers. As weapons for them, the Ukrainian side considered Ukrainian Neptune missiles, American Harpoon, Norwegian NSM, and Turkish Atmaca.
Also, Murene 90 Impact torpedoes were considered as anti-submarine weapons.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Family and friends held a vigil in Northeast Austin on Saturday evening for a man who died on Tuesday after his truck was hit by a driver who authorities say was intoxicated.
At the site of the crash at Harris Branch Parkway and East Parmer Lane, family members lit candles and released black and white balloons to remember Johnny Viera, 44.
Viera’s brother, Randy, says this vigil was for Johnny to know his family and friends will continue to push for him to stay alive in their hearts and their minds.
“It was never a dull moment with him,” Randy said. “He used to always tell me I was the strong one. I was our family’s backbone, and little do I know, without him, I’m falling apart.”
“He was the strong person of the family, and it’s not going to be the same,” Sandra Halloran, Johnny Viera’s girlfriend said.
Austin police say Marco Oliva-Quevedo, 27, was going eastbound on East Parmer Lane when he ran a red light and t-boned Viera’s truck. Despite Viera having his seat belt on, he was ejected and died at the scene.
Oliva-Quevado’s five-year-old son, Leyland Oliva, died at the hospital and another passenger in his car is still recovering in the hospital. Oliva-Quevado is charged with murder and intoxication manslaughter.
“I mean it’s that simple, you can’t drink and then go drive,” Randy said. “I mean nothing was good about this.”
Viera’s family has setup a site to raise funds for his funeral.
The case is still under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call APD Vehicular Homicide Unit detectives at 512-974-5594.

My fiance and I are trying to decide if we should go to French Polynesia for our Honeymoon in late August for 2 weeks. We were thinking of going to Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora, but we are certainly up for suggestions. We scuba dive and were interested in the kayaking, hiking and other outdoor activities the islands seem to offer. We also want to relax, but we think we will get bored if we spend the entire time in a bungalow on the water kind of deal.
Everything I read continues to say how EXPENSIVE the islands are. I am okay with paying more if it is worth it.....is it?
Also, is there enough to do there (like eating, drinks etc.) or is it pretty sleepy?
Thanks in advance for helping us make our choice. We were also considering Koh Samui in Thailand because my finace loves it, but I didn't know if we should try French Polynesia instead.
Can't wait for your thoughts!
Is French Polynesia worth the cost for a honeymoon??

Iowa sees early blast of 2016 Republican hopefuls
It’s like the holiday shopping season: The presidential vetting season seems to keep coming earlier and earlier.
Seven potential GOP presidential types will pop in for an Iowa audition during an 11-day span that began Saturday and stretches to next Tuesday.
“It probably would have been better if five or nine were coming because some smart-alec political analyst will no doubt comment about Hillary Clinton as Snow White and the seven dwarfs,” said Steffen Schmidt, a political analyst at Iowa State University.
If Clinton seems reluctant to even whisper the word “Iowa” much less be seen here as she toys with firing up a second presidential campaign machine, some Republicans feel exactly the opposite.
Several are doing aggressive, fall-before-the-Iowa-caucuses-type tours. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, after his upcoming four-day tour, will have spent 12 days in Iowa this presidential election cycle — more than any other potential 2016 White House aspirant.
“It’s extraordinary to have seven GOP contenders in the Hawkeye State at the same time. And this early,” Schmidt told The Des Moines Register. “It demonstrates how competitive 2016 will be and how an open run at the White House offers excellent opportunities for the GOP.”
After this round of visits, 11 potential GOP candidates will have spent 52 days in Iowa this cycle.
It’s early, but not unprecedented. Early bursts are more common in cycles that mirror this one, when there’s no incumbent following a two-term presidency.
During the 1988 presidential cycle, U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt, a Missouri Democrat, made an exploratory trip to Iowa in March 1985, just two months after Ronald Reagan’s second inaugural. He spent 148 days campaigning in Iowa, which remains an Iowa caucuses record, according to the book “The Iowa Precinct Caucuses: The Making of a Media Event,” by Hugh Winebrenner and Dennis Goldford. Iowa Democrats rewarded his devotion with victory on caucus night.
Similarly, in the late 1990s, potential candidates lined up early for the chance to succeed Bill Clinton’s two-term presidency. By June 12, 1998, when the Republican Party of Iowa held a “First in the Nation Gala” in Cedar Rapids, 15 potential GOP candidates had spent 122 days in Iowa, according to Winebrenner and Goldford.
The 2004 cycle saw another early start. Democrats were still smarting from Al Gore’s 2000 loss despite winning the popular vote. Both Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts jumped into the race before the end of 2002.
In the 2008 cycle, the end of George W. Bush’s two-term presidency sparked a herd of early prospectors from both parties. By the end of 2006, 14 possible Republican candidates had visited Iowa for 119 days, the authors said. Among Democrats, former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina essentially never stopped campaigning. Beginning in early 2005, he nurtured the network he built as a 2004 caucus candidate and Kerry’s vice presidential running mate.
But the two eventual heaviest hitters, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Clinton, then a senator from New York, were late arrivals.
Obama’s first visit to Iowa was to U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry in September 2006, and Clinton didn’t come to Iowa until late January 2007.
Asked if this seven-pack of GOP’ers in Iowa this month officially breaks the champagne to christen the opening of the 2016 cycle of the Iowa caucuses, Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kauffman told the Register: “I don’t know that we have a start or a finish. I think it’s just a continuum. ... It’s kind of exciting.”
The next two weeks in Iowa also serve up a full plate of political activity aside from potential presidential candidates.
A slew of Iowa candidates will hop on The Des Moines Register’s soapbox at the Iowa State Fair starting Thursday.
The Iowa GOP is having a big event Tuesday night with the full lineup of 2014 GOP candidates. And the two Iowa gubernatorial candidates will debate at the fair, hosted by Iowa Public Television, on Aug. 14.
Jennifer Jacobs is a reporter for The Des Moines Register and can be reached at email@example.com.
Who’s popular in Iowa?
The politicians whom Iowa Republican likely primary-goers felt most favorably about back in May aren’t necessarily the candidates they think can win the 2016 general election against the Democratic presidential nominee.
On likability, GOP voters in Iowa ranked 11 potential GOP White House candidates in this order: Paul Ryan, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal.
But when it came to perceived electability, the ranking shifted: Christie, Bush, Huckabee, Paul, Ryan, Perry, Rubio, Jindal, Cruz, Santorum and Walker.
The Iowa Poll’s survey of 400 likely primary-goers was taken May 27-30.

Puntarenas Sanchez As shown in an interview today CNN During his three-day visit to the United States, he said in Spanish that the Spanish government’s position on Cuba was very different. Joe Biden. During the White House Cuba allowed the defense minister and the ‘black berets’ to suppress the protests In recent weeks, Sanchez responded to a question about this decision, which calls for “unity” with the Cuban people, who are facing a very strong crisis due to the collapse of the Govt-19 and tourism.
The Spanish president has criticized the Cuban regime, saying he and his administration “called on the Cuban government to make reforms to start the road so that citizens can enjoy the same rights and freedoms as the Spanish.” But at the same time, Sanchez stressed, “To understand globally what is happening in Cuba, you need to see how the Govt is attacking Cuba more severely, especially tourism and a more fundamental sector of the embargo.”
In an informal conversation with reporters in New York during the same trip, on Tuesday, Sanchez recalled that already all Spanish governments, as well as the governments of the PSOE and PP, have always been against the ban. The Spanish president said he respects the decision of the Biden administration, which he considers an “internal issue” that he will not discuss, but made clear the differences. What the international community needs to do with Cuba at this time is, in line with its vision, to provide “an army in solidarity with the Cuban people” and to provide vaccines to help the islands recover quickly from the COVID-19 crisis. As much as possible. Spain will begin this week to donate 7.5 million doses to Latin America, as promised by the president, and Cuba will be among the beneficiaries.
Spain’s opposition daily demands that Sanchez describe the Cuban regime as a “dictatorship,” but they never did or did not. Jose Maria Aznar நி Mariano Rajoy When they were president. Pablo Casado called on Sanchez to tighten his grip on power and call it a dictatorship. The government responds that if Sanchez does so, the immediate effect is that Cuba will sever ties with Spain and that it will not only benefit the enormous interests of Spanish companies on the island, but also the ability to influence the potential transformation of democracy.
That’s why they explain in La Monclo, why Aznar and Rajo never talked about dictatorship, and even if Casado comes to La Monclova, he will avoid it. That is why the Sanchez government seeks a rhetoric and points out that Cuba is “not a democracy.” With these statements CNN In Spanish, an important chain in the Hispanic world, Sanchez clearly distances himself from the most extreme positions of the Cubans in Miami and places himself in the most frequent ranks of the EU, except to criticize the regime and seek influence on the island’s future without breaking it.

Innovative optical techniques based on nano-biophotonics such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging and R-G-B natural fringe mapping techniques are developed to characterize the transport and optical properties of nanofluids in situ, real-time, and full field manner. Recent results regarding the characterization of nanofluids are summarized and future research directions are presented.
47 nm Al2O3 nanoparticles are dispersed in water with various concentrations. Al2O3 nanofluids droplets are placed on substrates and evaporated in room temperature. In-situ visualization of evaporation-induced self-assembly is conducted to detect concentration, effective refractive index, and different self-assembled pattern including cavity with various nanofluids concentrations and surface hydrophobbicities with SPR and fringe mapping.
During the evaporation, time-dependent and near-field nanoparticle concentrations are determined by correlating the SPR reflectance intensities with the effective refractive index (ERI) of the nanofluids.
With increasing the concentrations of nanofluids, the existence of hidden complex cavities inside a self-assembled nanocrystalline structure or final dryout pattern is discovered in real-time. R-G-B natural fringe mapping allowed the reconstruction of the 3D cavity formation and crystallization processes quantitatively. The formation of the complex inner structure was found to be attributable to multiple cavity inceptions and their competing growth during the aquatic evaporation.
Furthermore, the effect of surface hydrophobicity is examined in the formation of hidden complex cavities, taking place on three different substrates bearing different levels of hydrophobicity; namely, cover glass (CG), gold thin film (Au), and polystyrene dish (PS).
These surface plamson resonance imaging and natural fringe mapping techniques are expected to provide a breakthrough in micro-nanoscale thermal fluids phenomena and nano-biochemical sensing when coupled with localized surface Plasmon and metamaterials techniques.

On This Morning today, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield inspected the coin as excitement builds for the royal event.
Holly was left stunned by the silver item, which has both Meghan and Harry’s face on the front.
Holding the coin, she exclaimed: “How mad is that?”
She held it up to the camera so viewers at home could inspect the coin before gushing over the couple’s relationship.
“How sweet!” the mother-of-three told co-host Phillip.
Phillip was just as taken aback by the coin, noting: “Did she ever think she would be on a coin?”
“It’s just mind-blowing” Holly continued.
“It’s the stuff of fairytales.”
The pair went on to inspect a coin which was specially made to commemorate Queen Victoria’s wedding, which is now worth around £400.

The commemorative £5 coin for Meghan and Harry’s wedding comes in a variety of metals.
Anne Jessop from the Royal Mint previously confirmed: “The gold proof going costs £1,980, the silver is priced at £82.50 and the polished copper and nickel is £13.00.”
The segment came after the This Morning presenters spoke to Charlie Gard’s parents.
They sent a message to Alfie Evans parents following the tot’s death last week.
Chris Gard said: “No one will be in as more pain than them at the moment.
This Morning: Connie and Chris spoke about Alfie Evans on the show
“From a personal experience, I can get very angry at the world and life.
“For me it’s pride. I imagine Tom feels the same, it’s pride.
“Our little boy touched the hearts of people around the world, like Alfie did.”
He added: “Just be proud of your boy."

What's the Big Idea, George Lois?
Magazine covers are "a wasteland of creativity" these days. Or so says legendary advertising and design guru George Lois. "Go to a newsstand today, there's not a
memorable—forget about something being culturally, being a culture-buster—there's nothing there that you can possibly remember. ... They're all the same
cover." says Lois. In his Big Think interview,
Lois asserts that today's magazine designers
aren't ambitious enough, and aren't going
after "big ideas" that will shock the public.
To make a memorable design, you need "true creativity", Lois says. You need a concept that takes the unique virtues of a product and sears your message into people's minds. "Creativity, you know, can solve almost any problem," he asserts. "The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, can overcome everything."
The problem with today's magazines is one of mission, says Lois. Rather than setting the tone for the culture, too many magazines try to follow it. "You don’t create a magazine for your readers," he says. "You don’t take a poll, you know, like the politicians do, and find out what they’re thinking and what they want. ... You’re supposed to be telling people what the hell you think is exciting and dynamic and thought-provoking and do it, and do it your way."
Lois also says he hates the popular AMC show "Mad Men" because it doesn't accurately depict Madison Avenue in the '60s, which he calls "the most heroic age in media communications since the twelve apostles." This was the era when Lois produced the 92 eye-popping covers for Esquire magazine that, along with the phrase "I want my MTV," remain his best-known accomplishments. Lois says that running those covers "took balls" on the part of magazine's editor, Harold Hayes, who would receive angry letters from congressmen—and sometimes death threats—in response.
Are university safe spaces killing intellectual growth?
Our experience of time may be blinding us to its true nature, say scientists.
- Time may not be passing at all, says the Block Universe Theory.
- Time travel may be possible.
- Your perception of time is likely relative to you and limited.
From questionable shipwrecks to outright attacks, they clearly don't want to be bothered.
- Many have tried to contact the Sentinelese, to write about them, or otherwise.
- But the inhabitants of the 23 square mile island in the Bay of Bengal don't want anything to do with the outside world.
- Their numbers are unknown, but either 40 or 500 remain.

The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron has won many hearts over the past year. He first appeared on Hannah Brown’s season and since has become a fan favorite. And, Tyler remains single even though he’s prone to multiple rumors about potential mates. Now, he’s making another business move that will no doubt prove to be successful for him. Tyler just launched a new merchandise line that features himself and even The Bachelor, Matt James.
Tyler Cameron releases merchandise for dedicated fans
People shared all the details about Tyler’s new merchandise. He went to Instagram to share a photo of himself about to eat a giant pizza. And, he’s shirtless. He said, “New merch is out now!! Get all of your holiday shopping done now! Go click the link in my bio to check out the store. Comment who you’re buying for!!”
The shirtless theme graces many pieces of merchandise he has. Tyler has everything from phone cases to mugs to hoodies. In one photo, Tyler stands nude with only a pie covering his special area. Matt James is in this photo. However, Matt is wearing shorts and actually about to eat some food.
Another product features a fake campaign slogan. It says, “James Cameron ’21.”
He stays in the news
Matt James just finished filming his season of The Bachelor. And, being his roommate and best friend, Tyler indicated a few weeks back that he had seen Matt. Tyler saying this and also by fans figuring out he was at the Nemacolin Woodland Resort in Pennsylvania, it’s being assumed he will make an appearance on Matt’s season.
He said, “I saw him recently. No spoilers!” He went on to say, “We are going to get a full dose of Matt. He’s gonna have fun, he’s gonna be very vulnerable, he’s gonna open himself up.”
As for Tyler’s dating situation, fans had hoped he would rekindle things with Hannah Brown. That didn’t happen and they both say they are simply working on their friendship.
Recently, Tyler is linked to not one but two models. Elizabeth Turner was the first one. And, now rumors were flying he may be dating Ireland Borba.
And, sources say nothing is serious with either of these women. Tyler is keeping it casual and does not want a serious relationship.
However, should he decide to pursue Ireland, they both reportedly live rather close to one another in Florida.
Stay tuned for more updates and don’t forget to grab your favorite Tyler pose on his new merch!

Like everyone in this life, have you ever felt suffering from a cold, and on other occasions you will have caught a flu. At first you may find it difficult to distinguish them, but although the common symptoms are nasal congestion, mucus, cough, sore throat and head or loss of appetite, the cold hardly causes a fever, and in flu muscle discomfort and chills also play the game.
What probably hasn't happened to you much is getting a cold when you already have a flu, it sounds like a nightmare. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often, according to a new study; in fact, the researchers discovered that having the flu reduces the chances of developing an infection with the common cold virus, reports 'Live Science'. "What we found is that during certain seasons when there are high levels of influenza, you are less likely to get a cold caused by a rhinovirus," said Professor Pablo Murcia, lead author of the study that has been conducted in the University of Glasgow.
Viruses that don't want to live together
Researchers usually they study both viruses (cold and flu) separately, "but we have shown that we should study them together as if they were an ecosystem," Murcia added. "If we understand how viruses interact and how certain viral infections can favor or, on the contrary, inhibit each other, maybe we can develop better ways to attack viruses"he said. The study was published in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'.
Researchers have a theory for now: these viruses can compete with each other to cause you misery
In the new study the researchers analyzed information from more than 36,000 people in Scotland who provided more than 44,000 throat and nose samples to analyze respiratory diseases over a period of nine years. In the population, 35% tested positive for at least one virus, and 8% tested it for coinfection with at least two. Curiously, a computer analysis of the data showed that when flu activity increased in winter, rhinovirus infections decreased.
"A really surprising pattern in our data is the decrease in cases of respiratory virus rhinovirus … that occur during the winter, around the time when flu activity increases," said another author of the study., Sema Nickbakhsh, associate researcher of the Virus Research Center. In addition, when researchers looked at individual patients, they found that people infected with influenza A had 70% less prchances of being infected with rhinovirus, compared to patients infected with other types of viruses.
In addition, people stay home when they are sick, which reduces the chances of getting another virus.
It seems like luck, because suffering both could be torture. It remains, however, to determine the reason for the inhibitory effect between both viruses. Researchers for now have a theory: these viruses can compete with each other in their search to cause you misery. "We believe that respiratory viruses compete for resources," Nickbakhsh explained, "they may do so for specific cells to infect, or that a person's immune response to a virus makes it difficult for another to cause infection."
And there could be other factors, such as people staying home when they are sick, which reduces the chances of getting another virus. As the investigations progress, at least, we will be glad that both viruses do not want to coexist in our body, so as not to exhaust the global stocks of handkerchiefs and hot soups.

Making CSS-only Overrides
by Marc Dechèvre
JoomlaShack Conference, 9 & 10 December 2020
1. The power of Joomla
Did I already tell you that Joomla is sooo powerful ?
- not only because of its native Custom Fields
- not only because it manages Multilingual websites natively
- not only because of Users Access Management…
- but also a.o. because of the possibility to make Overrides / Alternate Layouts for any View of any Component or ModuleMost of the time you don’t even need to know anything of PHP to make your first Overrides, for example if you simply want to move the Image before/after the Title or create a 2 column layout for your content.
And once you have tested/tasted it, you will probably want to go to the next level and exploit the possibilities of PHP too to make more complex things.Typically making an Override / Alternate Layout entails two things:
- changing the View, namely the HTML generated by some PHP file
- adding a bit of CSS to customize the styling of the elements (if needed)
2. Inspiration for Overrides
To get inspiration for Overrides / Alternate Layouts, see for example
and -why not- join the current Joomla Override Challenge #joc
3. Overrides… only with CSS
In this presentation, we will show how to make a “kind of” Override or Alternate Layout… only with CSS.
This is indeed made possible by what is called CSS Grid
On the following Animated Gif, we already have a first idea of what we can achieve:
- a total freedom on where I put which element (Title, Image, Text, Links, …)
- different layouts according to the viewport
This way of making Overrides is very handy for different reasons:
- even less technical people can customize their layouts (no HTML and no PHP involved)
- you can easily achieve even the most sophisticated layouts
- you can have (completely) different layouts according to the viewport and so be mobile-first
- it works no matter your Bootstrap / UIkit / … version5. in many cases, you can just copy-paste your CSS from one Template to another and it will work immediately (in our demo, our override in Astroid 2.4 immediately works on Helix 3, even if they come from two different template editors and if the latter is an old generation of Helix)
- it requires less maintenance: when you create a “real” Override / Alternate Layout, you actually fork the original PHP file. This means that when there are fixes / improvements / changes to that original Joomla file, you are supposed to revise your forked code accordingly
- last but not least, Joomla 4's frontend is largely based on CSS Grid. So it is definitely an extra motivation to learn it so that you can customize even more things in Joomla 4Of course, real Overrides / Alternate Layouts are still useful because you can go further and do more things.
But if the only purpose is to rearrange the layout of the existing content without manipulating it, CSS Grid can be a nice way to do it.
6. How it started
I have always been very curious about Flexbox and CSS Grid but never really implemented them in my projects, except for little things like displaying the Partners/Sponsors/Clients logos in a footer.The first really nice implementation of CSS Grid I discovered in the Joomla world was done by Allon Moritz (the father of Joomla’s Custom Fields btw, my favourite topic 😊 )
Simply inspect the code and look at
In the corresponding CSS you will see
Note : Firefox’s inspector is very handy bc you can click on the grid icon in the CSS and you will keep visualizing the grid while you are inspecting the other elements.
7. A more advanced example
In one of our current projects, we tried to go further and even have a more complex design:
- we don’t want to have a linear display of the different elements of the Article (Title, Image, Text, Links, Pagination, …)
- so we play with CSS Grid to get overlap, more empty spaces on desktop etc
See the live demo.
Or see the simplified version here on Codepen:
8. Easy to adapt to each project
Actually I had initially made this nice design on a website running
- Astroid Template
- made by JoomDev
- based on Bootstrap 4
Then I gave a try and simply copy-pasted my CSS on another (old) website running
- Helix 3 Template
- made by JoomShaper
- based on Bootstrap 3And waouw! Even then it would work immediately (see live demo).
But even for templates which would be more different (in the sense of generating a completely different HTML structure for the Articles) it would be very quick to adapt the CSS.
9. Go go go
Now it is up to you 😊
Here are some interesting resources

|Title:||Design method for the optimization of district heating systems using mixed integer linear programming|
|Authors:||Bojic, Milorad |
|Abstract:||During winter, district heating systems may be used to heat dense built environment in large cities. After several years of use, performance of such a system would change because of either refurbishment or ageing. As a result, air temperatures in heated rooms would be different from the design (thermal comfort) temperatures. It is investigated how the system performance changes owing to ageing and refurbishment of the primary pipeline and envelope of heated buildings. To determine how to recover the design temperatures of air in heated rooms, mixed integer linear programming is used. The objective was to select an optimal scenario that would achieve the minimum difference between the corrected and design temperatures inside the investigated rooms. The scenario refers to installation of new (option) valves and water pumps that would require installing in the primary pipe network of the old district heating system examined to re-establish its optimum performance.|

- What's new
- Policy Briefs
Policy Briefs contain useful information on territorial planning policies and national strategies of Korea and other countries.
|TITLE||Policy Agendas for Improving Young One-Person Households’ Residential Conditions|
Policy Agendas for Improving Young One-Person Households’ Residential Conditions
□ Rapid increases in one-person household and emergence of youth housing crisis.
- The percentage of a person household was 27.2% in 2015 and is expected to grow maximum 36.3% in 2045.
- Dilapidated residential environment, excessive housing-cost burden and other residential matters are indirectly and directly affecting social problems such as late marriage, single by choice trend and low birth which are experienced not only nationwide but worldwide.
□ In terms of young adult’s housing expenses, 71% of deposits and 65% of monthly rents are paid by parents.
- The average amount of deposit is 2,660,000won and about 147,600,000won (71%) are supported by parents.
- 230,000won among monthly rent of 350,000won and 460,000won among total living cost of 900,000won which is more than a half of are paid by parents.
- Main factors of Housing cost burden are as follows: Monthly rent > Deposits> Monthly maintenance fee > Loan interests from Bank
- Young adults feel the housing costs that is 20~30% lower than current would be the adequate costs for housing.
□ Housing cost burden will greatly affect young adults’ future decisions in marriage and childbirth.
- Housing cost burden will affect young adults future decisions as follows: love affairs < childbirth childcare < home ownership
□ The housing support policy for young adults announced by new administration involves high importance and commitments however its feasibility seems rather low.
- In terms of its importance perceived by youth were followed as Housing cost burden alleviation> Provision of 30 thousand youth rental housing > Provision of Share house typed youth accommodation, whereas their expectation on feasibility of such agendas were evaluated relatively low which reflects discrepancies between the ideal and the reality.
- The predominant response to most needed housing policy was on provision of affordable rental houses.
① Housing support for young one-person households should be implemented considering both curative and preventive approaches to remedy current difficulties and to prevent and control further occurrences of problems.
② Allocation of youth housing stabilization fund, support for Jeonse mortage loan interest or any assistance related to housing costs alleviation and provision of moderately priced houses are necessary to lead younger generations to join in the next stage of life cycle personally and to be prepared for sustainable future socially.
③ Housing policy in support of housing benefits should extend a tone of inclusiveness at policy level especially in policies which excludes young one-person household at housing benefits while strengthening the supports for low interest loan provision, one-time grants or incentives to encourage self-reliance and independence of young adults than parent or welfare dependency.
④ Demand oriented policy is imperative to relieve and solve any difficulties occurred in access to public transportation, housing contract and conditions.
