Hey Bulldog – Interview
Interview with Pete Devine of Pete’s Rock News and Views (http://petesrocknewsandviews.com)
PD: What type of artist are you?
HB: We are a three piece Garage Rock band from Manchester.
PD: Tell us the brief history of yourself.
HB: Rob and I (Matt) met almost through an ad some years ago, based on a mutual love of the same music and an E.P. that Rob had created.
A fair few drummers later ( 6 years ago) we found Ben and we have been together ever since. Some highlights have been playing Sicily, Kendal Calling twice, The Garage in London, as well as fifteen of our songs getting national radio play. Most recently though, selling out Jimmy’s in Manchester was pretty special.
PD: Who are your musical and non-musical influences?
HB: Musically we all have our own influences to bring to the table. I’d say Rob is the oracle on all things classic and modern, Ben is your typical punk and rock scholar, and I am all about anything Pete Doherty. As a band though we are very much into the Kills, Idles, Jimi Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin.
Non-musically, I would have to say David Attenborough, James Acaster, Wes Anderson and Pete Doherty. He influences me in all aspects of life.
PD: What are your dreams and goals?
HB: Isn’t it that if you are in a band the dream is to play sell out stadium gigs, record platinum selling albums, and have thousands of adoring fans? Well, to be honest, as good as that sounds, my dream would just be to create and release the music we love and earn enough to live on. That being said I would love to record an album then tour it round Europe and America.
PD: Who writes your songs, what are they about?
HB: We all write our music in various ways, however I think my favourite way, and where I feel we make our best music, is when we jam as a band. We always start each practice with a jam to warm up and if it sounds good we’ll record it, pick our favourite bits and then create a structure. It always feels like a very organic way to write, collectively inspired with each member adding their own take on the idea.
Our songs are about many things, politics, love, life or just a phrase we heard when we were abroad. That’s the beauty of music; you can turn anything into a song
PD: How do you promote your band and shows?
HB: Promotion wise we use the usual social media platforms, etc. However, what I love in Manchester is there is a real community feel in the music scene. Bands help other bands out by putting them on the same bill, sharing their music and attending each other’s gigs. This helps the fans then discover new music and get into new bands, something that is a real change from ten years ago, when you didn’t really even talk to the other bands you were playing with.
PD: What do you think about downloading music online?
HB: Well… as someone who has been made redundant twice from working in music shops I am completely against illegal downloading, and to be honest I don’t think there is an excuse for it anymore with the numerous ways you can listen to music, like Sound Cloud, Band Camp, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. I do however think that the introduction of these platforms are brilliant for the music industry as they make music so much more accessible, and it means that anyone can create music now and get it out there to the masses. I just think that they need to get a little tighter on the regulations and legislation on ownership, plays and royalties.
PD: What song do you wish you’d written and why?
HB: Happy Birthday… Everyone knows it, it gets sung every day, it’s catchy as hell! and the royalties!
PD: What are some of your pet peeves?
HB: Littering, cruelty to animals
PD: What is your proudest moment in music?
HB: That’s a difficult question… historically it would be playing in Sicily, supporting Joel Gion (from the Brian Jonestown Massacre), getting played on Radio X and BBC Radio 6 Music, but most recently, seeing our names in lights outside of a sold out Jimmy’s… that was amazing!
PD: So what are you working on at the moment?
HB: We are just about to release our new single, Death & Greed, on October 4th, which is our first single to be released on vinyl. We are also currently working on our first album, something we have been dreaming of for years now. Really looking forward to it as I love the creative process, not as much as playing live, but it really is interesting and exciting to see what comes out of it. That should be released early next year.
PD: Tell us about your next shows and why we should be there.
HB: On the 5th October we will be playing the Psych Rising all-day event at Night People for the wonderful Asteral Elevator. After that it’s off to Chester to support a double headliner, Gravves and Dey-Yey for their E.P. launches at St. Mary’s Creative Space on the 19th October, and then it’s down to the big smoke at the back end of November.

Toys 'R' Us, Babies 'R' Us stores set to close offering discounts
Feb 09 2018
Toys "R" Us is expected to host going-out-of-business sales for 180 of its stores in the U.S.
Toys R Us is beginning liquidation sales after filing for bankruptcy in September 2017 according to CNBC. Stores in Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Lithonia and Douglasville are Babies R Us.
The sales, however, will not be matched as Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us stores that will remain open.
The well-known toy store chained had filed a motion last month to close up to 182 or one-fifth of its 880 stores, the Bergen County Record reported.
Time reports that while the has yet to officially announce the dates of the massive sales, after a bankruptcy court approved liquidation plans on Tuesday, the sales can begin as early as Wednesday. The starting discounts are up to 30 percent off. Customers can expect deep discounts across all brands and store furniture and fixtures will also be for sale, according to a Gordon Brothers news release.
The press release notes that closing stores will continue to honor gift cards and special credit card deals. The sales reportedly could start as early as February 7 and last through April.

Consider a photon which is sent towards a detector. The instant before the photon hits the detector, let's say one mm-light (the time the light travels one millimeter), the photon should be located at a position of one mm far away from the detector. But since the photon has an associated wavefunction, the photon might be theoretically in any point of space with some probability. This means that with some probability different from zero, the photon might have hit the detector already. The question: does this contradict special relativity, i.e. the principle that there is nothing which travels faster than c? Have a nice day.

Can I Use My Hazelwood Act Entitlement for the Summer and Save My Post 9/11 GI Bill?
Q: Hi, I am currently using the Post 9/11 for the spring and fall semesters, can I use the Hazelwood Act for summer classes if I wanted to save my post 9/11 for full semesters?
A: Most likely not. And why would you want to save your Post 9/11 GI Bill for “full semesters”? Usually schools divide up their summer semesters into 2 summer sessions each around two months long. They also reduce their full-time rate of pursuit to half of what a full semester is meaning if their full semester credit floor is 12, each summer session is 6 credits and still considered full-time.
Therefore, you could attend a summer session, get the same monthly housing allowance each month of the summer session as you would get during each month of full semesters and only use up only two months of Post 9/11 GI Bill entitlement during the summer session.
When you apply for the Hazelwood Act, you also have to include a letter from the VA that states how much Post 9/11 GI Bill entitlement you have left to use. If your Federal education benefits exceed what you have left under the Hazelwood Act, your application most likely would not be approved.
Therefore, the easiest and best bet is to use up all of your Post 9/11 GI Bill first and then switch over and start using your 150 hours of Hazelwood Act benefits. It will be a lot less painful doing it that way.

MAKE SURE WE GET SAND BACK ON OUR BEACH
Please contact our county commissioners!
Ponte Vedra’s beach is now one of the only beaches in the entire state of Florida without a program in place to replenish its sand, despite being hit by two severe Category 3 hurricanes! Since the 1980’s, Ponte Vedra’s beach has lost a colossal 2.5 million cubic yards of sand (170,000 truckloads) and approximately 135 feet of width.
There is now little public beach to enjoy at high tide, while there is no protection against another severe hurricane season. The goal is to restore the sand that’s been lost by widening the beach.
Please contact our five Commissioners – ask for funds from the county’s budget surplus to re-nourish Ponte Vedra’s beach.

Field-Deployable Imaging System to Assess Potential Retinal Injuries
Agency / Branch:
DOD / USAF
Advanced imaging technologies now exist to detect the tissue changes that occur due to retinal laser injuries that may not be visible with fundus photography. Very recent developments at Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and the Wellman Center for Photomedicine have made it possible to combine these technologies into a single, affordable field-deployable device. The Line-Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (LSLO) is a compact, low-cost, quasi-confocal SLO imaging system. High quality, high resolution and high contrast wide-field en face retinal SLO images are obtained non-mydriatically with <600Â¿YW of NIR source power at up to 30 frames/sec. Images are captured, processed and displayed with integrated FPGA and LCD technology. Simultaneously, revolutionary advances have been made in the field of optical coherence tomography (OCT), pioneered by researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine. New implementations of spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) have produced more efficient and compact OCT designs with few moving parts and a thousand-fold multiplex advantage over conventional OCT. Full SD-OCT images are obtained non-mydriatically, with <600Â¿YW of broadband illumination at up to 30 frames/sec. The architecture that PSI has already developed for hand-held LSLO applications, is ideally suited to the incorporation of SD-OCT. In Phase I, a hybrid LSLO/SD-OCT system will be demonstrated, that offers superior retinal imaging in a compact, portable package.

It’s a great way to give back and provide a hot meal to families in need this holiday season
Huntersville,NC (PRWEB) November 13, 2015
EDU Healthcare, a leader in providing special education in school systems across the United States, is helping reduce the number of families in need of a hot Thanksgiving meal, by hosting a virtual food drive through the Second Harvest Food Bank. The food drive will be in effect until Thanksgiving Day.
The virtual food drive allows EDU Healthcare to host a food drive and raise money or food without the collection of canned or boxed foods of a typical food drive. EDU Healthcare has staff members in school systems across the United States making a virtual food drive the best option to involve everyone in donate to helping end hunger in local communities.
“It’s a great way to give back and provide a hot meal to families in need this holiday season”, said Matthew Lewis, Vice President of EDU Healthcare.
One of the best ways to give is through financial donation. For each dollar that is donated, seven pounds of food is provided. There are several ways to donate in the virtual food drive. You can donate money, fill a cart with grocery items, purchase a backpack that will be prepackaged with food for you, buy a senior box for the elderly, buy an entire Thanksgiving meal, or even buy pet food to be donated.
Everyone can participate by going to visiting the Second Harvest Food Bank website. The company participation id is EDUHEALTHCARE-2015.
The Second Harvest Food Bank supplies food and essential grocery items to over 650 agencies feeding the hungry in 19 counties in North and South Carolina. Last year, 45 million pounds of food were given to these organizations. These agencies include emergency pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and many more. They serve low income families who need food assistance including children, the elderly, working poor, people who are unemployed, the homeless, and people in crisis. The request for food from the food bank exceeds the supply on hand, making food drives extremely important.

Historical Ecology and Archaeology in the Galapagos Islands : A Legacy of Human Occupation Hardback
Part of the Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology series
The Galapagos Islands are one of the world's premiere nature attractions, home to unique ecosystems widely thought to be untouched and pristine.
Historical Ecology and Archaeology in the Galapagos Islands reveals that the archipelago is not as isolated as many imagine, examining how centuries of human occupation have transformed its landscape. This book shows that the island chain has been a part of global networks since its discovery in 1535 and traces the changes caused by human colonization.
Central to this history is the sugar plantation Hacienda El Progreso on San Cristobal Island.
Here, zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical evidence documents the introduction of exotic species and landscape transformations, and material evidence attests that inhabitants maintained connections to the outside world for consumer goods. Beyond illuminating the human history of the islands, the authors also look at the impact of visitors to Galapagos National Park today, raising questions about tourism's role in biological conservation, preservation, and restoration.

Skindred Have Announced A Special One-Off Show
Skindred have announced a very special one-off show at the London Roundhouse in Camden next year.
Not only will the November 21 date be hosted at one of the capital’s finest venues, the show is also going to be recorded for the band’s first-ever live album. Tickets go on sale from 10am this Friday (September 6) from the Kerrang! Ticket Store.
Skindred’s Manager Seven Webster from 7pm Management says: “The band have always wanted to record a live album and for us it was just a matter of finding somewhere extremely unique to record it. The Roundhouse, aside from being a landmark venue, has had some incredible rock bands play there over the years – from the likes of The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Ramones and Motörhead – so where else were we going to do it?”
Read this next: We did the math and worked out which animal is the most metal
Drummer Arya Goggin, meanwhile, adds: “We are stoked to be playing at the Roundhouse! It has been on my personal bucket list for a while, so recording it as a live album makes it all the better for us to bring our A game and put on an amazing show. Skindred are all about supporting the live industry and helping to keep historical music venues open, so playing in rooms like the Roundhouse only endorses our want to support these fantastic rooms rather than see them turned into car parks.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korean police said Tuesday that they have found a body of a fugitive billionaire businessman sought over April's ferry disaster that left more than 300 people dead or missing.
Police officer Wu Hyung-ho told a televised news conference that the body was found in an agricultural field in the southern South Korean city of Suncheon on June 12. He said results of DNA and fingerprint tests showed they matched those of Yoo Byung-eun.
Wu said the body was already decayed too much beyond recognition when it was found and more thorough investigation is needed to find how and when he died.
The body was wearing a pair of expensive shoes and a costly Italian-made jacket. Also found near him were three empty Korean local liquor bottles, a bag and a magnifying glass, according to police.
Authorities believe Yoo was the owner the ferry and that his alleged corruption may have contributed to its sinking.
The sinking, one of South Korea's deadliest disasters in decades, has caused an outpouring of national grief, and the country is undergoing national soul searching about public safety. About 100 days after the disaster, 294 dead bodies have been retrieved but 10 people are still missing.
Police and prosecutors have been seeking Yoo for weeks and had offered a $500,000 reward for tips about him.
Yoo, head of the now-defunct predecessor of the ferry's current operator, Chonghaejin, allegedly still controlled the company through a complex web of holding companies in which his children and close associates are large shareholders. The government offered a $100,000 bounty for Yoo's eldest son, and one of his daughters was arrested in France in May.
The predecessor company went bankrupt in the late 1990s but Yoo's family continued to operate ferry businesses under the names of other companies, including one that eventually became Chonghaejin.
Yoo is also a member of a church that critics and defectors say is a cult. Yoo's church made headlines in 1987 when 32 people, who critics suspect were church members, were found dead in the attic of a factory near Seoul in what authorities said was a collective murder-suicide pact. Church members have denied involvement.
Yoo was investigated over the deaths after a probe into the dead people's financial transactions showed some of their money was funneled to him. He was cleared of suspicions that he was behind the suicides because of a lack of evidence, but was convicted on a separate fraud charge.

That — among its many, more obvious failings — is the fatal flaw at the heart of “Criss Angel: Believe.”
There’s just no wonder in it.
In fact, there’s shockingly little magic to be seen in this much-anticipated Cirque du Soleil spectacle constructed around a celebrity magician. No shock, no awe, precious little surprise, even.
Cirque throws everything in its considerable arsenal of stage genius at Angel — the expected array of lush, loud music, expert dancers and aerialists, lavish settings and boundary-breaking special effects, all intended to amaze.
The single most amazing thing about “Believe” is that it’s still so boring.
For a reported $100 million, Cirque has bought itself its first bona fide bomb.
Angel, who is signed to a 10-year contract, hasn’t managed to make all that money vanish completely, however. Cirque makes everything look and sound sumptuous, of course. The 1,600-seat purpose-built theater at the Luxor makes a promising first impression, with its gilded rococo proscenium arch and decadently luxe crimson curtains.
After the customary preshow clowning, the show kicks off abruptly with an intentional false start, a very loud video infomercial for Angel’s A&E TV series “Mindfreak.” And then Angel materializes, descending slowly from the ceiling in Jesus pose. (He’s been outdone by Cher in the Big Entrance category).
Angel romps through the audience, shrieking “Mindfreak!” and “I’m tellin’ you, this is gonna be CRAZY!” and “I swear to you, this is just nuts!” in his Lawn Guyland accent, slapping hands and accepting gifts, including lots of stuffed animals and a homemade banner with ironed-on images of Angel’s cat Hammy and other significant Angel icons on a white bedsheet. (This turns out to be a rather obvious plant.)
The video run-through of Angel’s greatest stunts — being crushed by a steamroller, cutting himself in half, etc. — serves only to show up how puny and paltry his stuff looks on stage. He’s got nothing without postproduction editing.
“Believe” contains very few of the sort of extreme stunts and illusions Angel made his name on. At one point, he invokes his beloved late father, and then taunts death. “What you’re lookin’ at is 6 million volts,” Angel shouts, and, costumed in skintight reflective foil, he tosses a baked potato into an enormous, buzzing and hissing Tesla coil to demonstrate its deadliness.
BOOM! Blackout. Cut to video of Angel, gruesomely burned, one-eyed, his face bubbling like bacon, being wheeled away on a gurney as actors scream in horror offstage.
Then Angel — and the show — plunges into fever dream, an enactment of Angel’s interior Inferno.
His delirium involves ascents and descents and births and deaths, depicted by squads of dancing bunnies and moles. And there’s a continual struggle over his usually shirtless bod between his stage assistants, Kayala, an angelic ever-receding woman in white and Crimson, a devouring, demonic black woman.
(Not even going there.)
Angel’s near-death fantasies are dominated by bunnies (a wink to rumored girlfriend Holly Madison?). Big bunnies, small bunnies, robot bunnies and giant puppet bunnies, good bunnies and bad, bad bunnies. The show’s single most memorable image involves a giant severed bunny head that rolls over and tap dances on its ears.
There’s also a gorgeous scene in which a field of giant red California poppies gradually gathers, floating down and sprouting up and putting his demons to sleep. An onstage tornado blew away.
The entire hallucination sequence is a Frankenstein quilt of undigested chunks of “Donnie Darko,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and even Pink Floyd’s “Animals” album. At one point, after rising from his gurney, Angel actually says, “And you were there, and you were there — and you tried to kill me. And (to the audience) you were there!”
Camp followers — the types who relish gems of unintentional badness like “Showgirls” and well, “Springtime for Hitler” — are advised to get tickets soon.
As I said, magic-lovers are shortchanged. We get a remote-writing trick involving a suspended locked box, a flock of doves that appear and fly above audience, some piddling flashpaper fire-work, lots of clever screenplay, with Angel popping in and out of the projected images, and an enjoyably gory set piece with Angel sawed in half by a chainsaw-wielding bunny.
All his illusions are obscured by flashing strobes, clouds of fog and other standard methods of distraction and misdirection. The Fright Dome Halloween haunted house at Circus Circus employed many of the same effects, to better result, for $35.
A charmless mook, Angel is a rudimentary stage performer — he’s barely believable playing himself. But those who are hoping for an in-person look at his gleaming tattooed torso will get their money’s worth.
Many of the Cirque set pieces seem familiar by now: There’s a scaled-down version of the vertical wall-walking from “Ka,” and the onstage rock guitarist and drummer, too. A quartet of frantic clowns serve as Angel’s bumbling “Ushers,” and a pair of grotesque living dolls are tarted up like Victorian prostitutes. Aerialists sport angel wings, and the squad of dancers is ingeniously costumed as bunnies, rats, moles and spiny reptiles, although their stiff-legged, copy-“Cats” moves suggest seizures in progress.
The music, usually an enchanting, unifying element of Cirque productions, is a disappointment, a banal, bombastic mishmash of “Carmina Burana” melodrama, mix-tape exoticism and mock-rock opera.
The incoherent evening is haunted by a recurring Magritte-like image of an empty gilded picture frame. And that, finally, is the truest metaphor for “Criss Angel: Believe”: a gorgeous golden structure surrounding a void.

Indian Navy Inducts More MiG-29Ks
Defence Minister A K Antony has announced in the Parliament that 15 Russian MiG-29K fighters have been inducted in the Indian Navy. These MiG-29K fighters have been inducted for carrier-borne operations and will operate from INS Vikramaditya once it is inducted in December 2012.
The MiG-29K series of fighters will also operate from the other aircraft carrier INS Viraat. In 2004, India had placed an order to the tune of US$ 650 million for 16 MiG-29Ks to be used from INS Vikramaditya which is being refurbished by Russia. Another order for US$ 1.5 billion was placed in early 2010 to purchase the 29 additional MiG-29Ks.
The MiG-29K has only been exported to India for use on the refitted Russian-built carrier INS Vikramaditya. The MiG-29K is a naval variant of the MiG-29 land-based fighter and has folding wings, an arrester tail-hook, strengthened airframe and multirole capability. The fighter can be equipped with various air-to-air and air-to-surface weaponry. The MiG-29K will be in concurrent service with the Russian Navy. India operates sixteen out of a total of forty MiG-29K planned for acquisition. The newly designed and upgraded MiG-29K prototype was first revealed by Russia in 2007. The new MiG-29K come in two versions: the single-seat MiG-29K and the two-seat MiG-29KUB.
The MiG-29K is equipped with the new Zhuk-E radar, which can detect up to ten targets at a time and engage four of them. The MiG-29K is also equipped with an electronic counter measures suite and the pilot is equipped with a helmet-mounted targeting system. The MiG-29K is powered by two RD-33MK engines and has a maximum endurance of 850 kilometers.

The owner of a large warehouse development site in the Bronx is expanding its portfolio to Queens.
Innovo Property Group, which will soon break ground on a more than $200 million, 700,000-square-foot warehouse along the Cross Bronx Expressway, is in negotiations to invest in an industrial property at 28-90 Review Ave. in Long Island City.
It wasn't immediately clear how much Innovo was arranging to pay for the site or whether it would buy the parcel outright or enter into a joint venture with the existing owner. The property can accommodate nearly 400,000 square feet of commercial development. Innovo declined to comment on the potential deal.
In a conversation with Crain's in June to discuss Innovo's Bronx development, however, founder and CEO Andrew Chung said that the company was purchasing a Long Island City development site where it would also build ground-up warehouse space.
Chung said he believes that logistics and e-commerce companies will need state-of-the-art warehouse space situated in multiple locations throughout the five boroughs to service customers quickly.
"For retailers to succeed with last-mile deliveries, they need to think about the city in zones," Chung told Crain's at the time.
A sales team at CBRE led by broker Brad Cohen has been marketing the site for sale or a joint-venture investment. Cohen could not immediately be reached.
Long Island City was once predominantly an industrial neighborhood with millions of square feet of warehouses. Much of that space has been lost in recent years to residential development and conversions to office space.
Florida-based firm JBL Asset Management owns 28-90 Review Ave., purchasing it two years ago for nearly $25 million, according to city property records. The site sits along Newtown Creek, a short distance from on-ramps to the Long Island Expressway and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, making it well-situated for potential e-commerce and delivery uses. An executive at JBL declined to comment.
The deal is the latest from a wave of industrial buyers who have plans for new warehouse development. Last week developer Dov Hertz acquired a large industrial development site in Sunset Park for around $250 million. He intends to raise up to 1.6 million square feet of warehouse space.SOURCE: CRAIN'S New York Business

A Hollywood-based company that specializes in retail centers has purchased a Plant City shopping hub for $29 million.
JBL Asset Management’s acquisition of the Lake Walden Square becomes the latest in a series of Florida projects the company has invested in, together with assets in Orlando, Pembroke Pines and Miami Beach.
In all, JBL owns nearly two dozen retail centers in seven states, with a focus on Florida, Texas, New York and Georgia.
“We like to target assets in areas just outside strong metro areas,” says Alicia Hugh, JBL’s director of leasing and strategic planning. “And we love the Plant City market for that reason. It’s connected to both Tampa and Lakeland.”
The 244,529-square-foot center is anchored by a Winn-Dixie supermarket, along with merchants Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, Michaels Stores Inc., PetSmart, Ulta and Five Below, among others.
The property, at 105 W. Alexander St., was more than 93% leased at the time of the sale. It was developed some three decades ago on nearly 27 acres.
JBL acquired Lake Walden from Retail Value Inc., a publicly traded firm that owns more than 45 shopping centers throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. Director Eric Williams, along with Senior Managing Director and retail practice co-leader Daniel Finkle and Managing Director Luis Castillo, represented Retail Value in the JBL transaction.
“The property really fits our investment criteria,” Hugh says. “The Winn-Dixie performs really well there, and the center has a real small-town feel to it, even though almost all of the tenants there are national in scope.”
She adds that the company is formulating a capital improvement plan for the property but that no final decisions have been made as yet.
Lake Walden becomes JBL’s third major Florida purchase in the past two years. In late 2016, the company acquired Orlando Gateway Village, a retail center on 62 acres, and followed that deal up with the $33.2 million purchase of the Flamingo Pines Plaza, in Pembroke Pines, last December.
In all, the 13-year-old company today controls more than two million square feet.SOURCE: Business Observer

Originally Published: Commercial Property Executive JBL Asset Management has traded a 22,836-square-foot retail property in Knoxville, Tenn. to a private investor for $3.3 million. JBL acquired the Harvest Towne Center in August of 2015 for $7.8 million, according to the Knox County assessor. Rob Whitmire of SRS’ Investment Properties Group represented JBL in the transaction.
Located at 4824-4856 Harvest Mill Way, the two-building strip mall sits on a 1.4-acre parcel just off Highway 71, less than five miles from downtown Knoxville. The buildings are positioned among a variety of other shops and restaurants along the highway. The asset, which was constructed in 1995 and 1996, is home to a mix of tenants, including Pet Supplies Plus, Oreck, The Casual Pint and Regency Finance.
“Finding the right buyer was paramount due to a shared parking and management covenant with the neighboring parcel,” said Whitmire, senior vice president of SRS, in a prepared statement.SOURCE: SRS Real Estate Partners

A South Florida developer closed this morning on the nearly 64-acre, $23 million purchase of Orlando Gateway just north of Orlando International Airport.

Jacob Khotoveli’s JBL Asset Management and Eric Gleit’s Edge Ventures snapped up a Long Island City development site for $24.9 million, property records filed with the city Tuesday show.
The 192,792-square-foot site at 28-90 Review Avenue near Newtown Creek and just off the Long Island Expressway is commercially zoned and comes with 385,584 buildable square feet, according to Reonomy.

Rick Robbins of Hentze-Dor Real Estate brokered the sale. Florida-based JBL landed a $24 million acquisition loan from BH Mortgage, with a seven-year term and an interest rate of between 5 and 6 percent. Deerwood Real Estate Capital’s Joe Hercenberg brokered the loan.SOURCE: The Real Deal
A company led by William Wiener, who’s been buying prominent pieces of Miami real estate, just paid $17.7 million for a large Coral Springs retail plaza.
County records show 35 Oak U.S. 5 just closed its purchase of the Plaza at Coral Springs on Tuesday. The property is a 96,280-square-foot shopping center with three adjoined retail buildings and two outparcels, all situated on about 10.5 acres.
Some of the plaza’s tenants include Broward Kidney Centers, which occupies an outparcel; Frank Theatres, a movie theater company; the United States Swim Academy; Outback Steakhouse and I Love Kickboxing.
The seller was an affiliate of JBL Asset Management, a Coral Springs-based real estate company that specializes in acquiring, managing and developing shopping centers in the Southeastern U.S.
JBL paid $13 million, or about $135 per square foot, for the plaza in 2005. After more than a decade, it has sold the Plaza at Coral Springs for nearly $184 per foot.
Marcus & Millichap’s Barry Wolfe and Alan Lipsky represented both the buyer and seller for this deal.
“The most competitive offers came from buyers based outside the U.S. who understood the unique stability that this asset has experienced over the years,” Lipsky said in a statement. “Even when other local centers were hit hard during the recession, this asset was able to maintain an occupancy [of] around 95 percent.”
Just to the south, Woolbright Development sold the Plaza at Coral Springs II to Cascade Ventures for $27.4 million.
The buyer, Wiener, manages a multitude of companies under the “35 Oak U.S.” name. One of his recent acquisitions was the $13 million purchase of Edgewater’s Latin Cafe 2000, which occupies a prime piece of land along Biscayne Boulevard in the rapidly redeveloping neighborhood.
Companies managed by Wiener have also bought six residential properties in the 400 block of Northeast 27th Street within the last year. Those companies have shared addresses with Bilnia Investments, a Canadian commercial real estate investment firm founded by Daniel Wiener in 1952.
For this most recent deal in Coral Springs, Wiener’s company financed its purchase with an $18.5 million loan from Ocean Bank.SOURCE: The Real Deal

Hi! I’m Dr. Julia. I’m a farm girl at heart, a foodie by nature and a Naturopathic Doctor by training. And I’m the formulator of Oatdacious 3 in 1 Smoothie Protein.
Oatdacious began with a love of oatmeal. Now I realize oatmeal isn’t everyone’s favorite, but there’s something about porridge in the morning as a kid growing up on the farm, that grew on me. In fact, I would joke with my husband that if I could only take 1 food to a deserted island to live on forever…it would be oatmeal.
So for a time in my life, I had oatmeal everyday.
Eventually, with my 40+ metabolism and sitting at a desk with patients all day, I realized that a big bowl of hearty oatmeal with all the fixings and maple syrup I added to ‘beat the bland’ wasn’t working for me anymore. I needed more protein at breakfast, less sweet, and my porridge would need to be reserved for days with more physical work or play.
So then I moved to protein shakes, and sometimes to get my oat fix I’d sneak a handful of whole oats into my smoothie. The result was flakey and chunky, not a particularly pleasant way to enjoy either the oats or the smoothie.
That’s how the journey started…a deep dive into the oat world, learning how to bring the benefits of oats from the bowl to the blender. With the support of Watermark Naturals, Oatdacious was born.
I wanted Oatdacious to be more than a vegan protein powder. I wanted it to have meaningful levels of beta glucan – the soluble fibre in oats associated with gut health and heart health. I also wanted it to be smooth, not gritty and with worry-free, real food ingredients so we added gluten free, whole grain oatmilk powder to give the froth of your oat millk latte with the creaminess of a milkshake. I also wanted a sugar-free way to enjoy the benefits of oats ’cause let’s face it -we can all do with less sugar. So we added organic stevia and vanilla powder for some delicate flavour, which means 1 serving of Oatdacious has only 3 grams of net carbohydrate.
Now you can blend the benefits of oats with your protein smoothie habit – in ways that aren’t flakey or chunky, or gritty or high in sugar. Bold? Yes. But I’m OK with that. I hope you it too.
May your goals be audacious, your spirit tenacious and your fuel Oatdacious!
All in good health,

The cruise ship MSC Meraviglia, turned away by two nations due to fears of a virus outbreak, docked at Mexico’s Caribbean island of Cozumel on Thursday and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said passengers will be allowed to disembark,
López Obrador said Mexico had to act with “humanity” after the ship was refused entry at ports in Grand Cayman and Jamaica.
The cruise line had expressed frustration with the rejections, which came after it reported one crew member from the Philippines was sick with common seasonal flu. It said no passengers had shown evidence of the Covid-19 virus.
“The ship is being allowed to dock and the passengers, those who are aboard the cruise ship can disembark,” López Obrador said, adding that health inspections will be carried out.
“We cannot act with discrimination,” he said. “Imagine if a ship arrived and it wasn’t even allowed to dock, and they were told, ‘Keep going on your way, see where you can dock.’ That is inhuman.”
He added, “we cannot close our ports, nor can we close our airports.”
“Imagine the desperation and everything it implies, almost 5,000 people on a ship and they cannot get off,” he said. “Why such backward attitudes?”
The case of the Meraviglia illustrated the crisis of nerves over COVID-19 virus. Mexico has no confirmed cases and MSC Cruises said the crew member had only common seasonal flu, had been placed in isolation and had “nearly recovered.”
Local media showed a small knot of Cozumel residents near the cruise ship dock demanding that passengers not be allowed to disembark, citing fears about potential contagion or effects on the tourism-dependent economy.
Just minutes after López Obrador spoke Thursday, the governor of the Quintana Roo state, where Cozumel is located, confirmed the ship had docked, but said “no authorization has been given” yet for passengers to disembark.
Gov. Carlos Joaquin wrote that health inspections would have to be carried out first.
