Weekend Sweep For Brad Keselowski
Brad Keselowski became the first driver to sweep back-to-back weekend races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, dominating both the Nationwide race on Saturday and the Sprint Cup race on Sunday.
Keselowski led 131 laps for his third win of the season to guarantee him a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He's also the 13th different winner in the last 13 races at New Hampshire.
Pole sitter Kyle Busch appeared to have the car to beat early in the race, leading 62 laps, but settled for second. Rookie Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman completed the Top 5.
Jimmie Johnson made an early exit when a blown tire put his car into the wall. Joey Logano was an early contender until he was spun into the wall by 72-year-old Morgan Sheppard. Jeff Gordon was running second late in the race when he ran out of gas and finished 26th.
With the win Keselowski moves up to third in the points standings behind Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
There's a break in the season next weekend. The schedule resumes on Sunday, July 27 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

As it turns out, ‘The Paper Tigers’ holds quite a lot of weight. Helmed by Vietnamese-American director Quoc Bao Tran, the comedy martial arts genre-blending movie is an absolute crowd-pleaser. The story becomes endearing through the effortless dynamic among the cast ensemble, and sumptuous comic interludes substantiate the well-crafted action sequences. The story centers on three kung fu child prodigies, who grow up to be middle-aged men with mundane day jobs, with bodies that can rarely withstand any kung fu. However, they must get back to the arena after the death of their master. The movie comes off as a homage to the old kung fu classics, but you may seek to know whether the story has its root in reality. Well, in that case, let us keep you informed.
Is The Paper Tigers a True Story?
‘The Paper Tigers’ is partially based on a true story. Although the movie is pretty much a fictional account, the inspiration for the story came from the childhood experience of the director. The movie is directed by Quoc Bao Tran, who also penned the original screenplay. While drafting the screenplay, the director took inspiration from his classmates and friends in martial arts class. For his relentless love for martial arts films, the movie was quite a personal venture for the director. He began writing the film text for his concept in 2011, which culminated in his 2015 short film ‘The Challenger.’ The director expanded on the story to give it its final form in ‘The Paper Tigers.’
Just by looking at the film, the influence of early kung fu classics like movies of Bruce Lee and the early ‘Karate Kid’ classics become apparent. As a tribute to Bruce Lee, the film was shot in Lee’s city of residence in Seattle, Washington. However, the director had to go through quite an ordeal to tell the story the way he wanted it. When the director pitched the story to major Hollywood studios, the companies tried to coax the director into casting Bruce Willis for the central role. Allegedly, they also wanted a separate role to be written for Nicolas Cage. But the director took the project to Kickstarter, which earned them enough funds to pursue the venture independently. However, there were attempts to whitewash the movie, the director cast minority Asian-American characters, lending to the movie’s realism.
In another remarkable feat, Roy Yuan, who essays the role of Hing, put on some 68 pounds of weight to fit into the role. The chemistry between the leading cast members comes off as quite natural, partly due to the real-life friendship of Alain Uy, Ron Yuan, and Mykel Shannon Jenkins. They used to hang out, rehearse, and dine together during the production. Mykel Shannon Jenkins knew nothing about the Asian-American community due to his Southern upbringing and held some misconceptions against the community. However, in the production, the actor received support from his Asian-American cast and crew. Finally, he concluded that the minority communities in the US have quite a lot in common.
The final fight sequence is played out on a rooftop. The filming of the sequence proved to be troublesome as a storm thwarted the filming schedule. The titular paper tigers were almost caught up in the storm, but the diligence and persistence of the crew resulted in their victory. The crew waited for the storm to pass, and in the end, had enough time to finish filming the sequence before dawn. Therefore, all things considered, the story holds more truth than you may imagine.

In July, we reported on the impending repainting of Hotel du Canada in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT. Now, the work is visibly apparent as we’ve caught a glimpse of fresh paint on the updated facade, which could either be primer or the actual intended color.
Hotel du Canada Facade Shines Through
Scaffolding still completely envelops the Hotel du Canada in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT.
Peering through that, a fresh coat of paint on one side is now shining through. It could be primer, which creates a smooth base for a final coat of paint to adhere to.
The change is so drastic that this may indeed be the case, as this current color does not exactly match up with the original building this facade is based on, though that may also be due to the original chateau’s fading color over the years.
The Chateau Laurier in Ottawa (now a Fairmont hotel) is just beside Parliament Hill in Canada’s capital, and was designed with Gothic Revival architecture in mind. Originally opened in 1912, it has been a National Historic Site since 1981.
Disney describes the pavilion’s Hotel du Canada and its inspiration with additional context:
Your journey “north” to the Canada pavilion includes a spectacular tribute to the nation’s natural wonders, such as the majestic Rocky Mountains, a 30-foot waterfall, and beautifully landscaped grounds that are inspired by Victoria’s Butchart Gardens. But you simply can’t miss one of the more striking man-made landmarks in the pavilion: the Hotel du Canada, inspired by the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. The hotel was commissioned by railroad magnate Charles Melville Hays, who was extending his Grand Trunk Pacific Railway west, and envisioned several deluxe hotels along the route. The hotel was impeccably furnished within and boasted a façade that featured Italian marble, Indiana limestone, and a copper roof. One hundred and five years after its grand opening, the Chateau Laurier is still welcoming guests to this day.
The walkway from the entrance of the pavilion to Le Cellier Steakhouse cuts through some meticulously manicured flowers and foliage that are made to imitate Canada’s famous Butchart Gardens.
As we get closer to the entrance of Le Cellier, it’s apparent that only one of the sides of the building has been painted so far.
The base of the scaffolding is still covered in scrim.
The entrance to the Steakhouse, while also surrounded in scrim and construction walls, is still operational and open to guests.
EPCOT has gained a reputation as a large construction zone in the past few years as the entire park is revamped. Future World was split into three neighborhoods: World Nature, World Celebration, and World Discovery. World Showcase is the fourth neighborhood.
The center of the park, World Celebration, is where most construction has been concentrated. Electric Umbrella was closed and gutted to become Connections Eatery and Café (Starbucks). MouseGear, the park’s major gift shop, was completely re-imagined to become the current Creations Shop. Club Cool also moved to a new location.
In World Nature (but taking up some of the World Celebration space), Journey of Water Inspired by “Moana” is under construction. The new walk-through attraction is nearing completion and Walt Disney Imagineering has already been conducting tests with Cast Members.
Have you been noticing these construction projects around EPCOT? Which one are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments.

Just as 2008 was starting to become a distant memory for many and the number of foreclosures around the country and right here in Florida were starting to drop, the coronavirus hit. Predictions were made right from the start about the impact the virus would have on the economy, and the housing market. Now, those predictions are starting to come true.
In April, the number of mortgage delinquencies around the country soared by 1.6 million. It was the largest monthly increase in history. To put that in perspective, during the same month, the national delinquency rate increased to 6.45 percent, double the 3.06 percent rate in March of this year. The increase is also almost three times more than the previous record set during the peak of the financial crisis in 2008. Inarguably, more homeowners are facing foreclosure. As they do, it may be a good time for a refresher on how foreclosures work in Florida.
What is Foreclosure?
Most people understand that foreclosure means they will lose their home, but there is a lot more to it. When a lender forecloses on the home, they seize the property from the homeowner in order to satisfy the mortgage debt. Lending institutions will typically start the process once a homeowner is three months behind on their mortgage payments. Once a homeowner has lost their home to foreclosure, the deed is transferred to the lender or to a new purchaser that obtained the home during a foreclosure sale.
What Is the Legal Foreclosure Process in Florida?
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, which means that in order to foreclose on a home, the lender must file a lawsuit against the borrower and take them to court. There, a judge will issue a judgment in the favor of either the lender or borrower. However, the legal process actually begins before the lawsuit is filed.
Typically, the lender will first send the borrower notice of their delinquent mortgage payments. If a homeowner does not bring the loan up to date, the lender may then accelerate the note. This means that the lender can ask for all payments relating to the note. At this point, it is not uncommon for borrowers to be unable to pay the entire balance of the note.
When that is the case, the lender will then file a summons and complaint against the borrower. This will officially begin the lawsuit process. Borrowers have a certain amount of time to respond to the complaint and if they do not, a judge will likely issue a default judgment against them. After that default judgment is issued, the lender can then proceed with foreclosing on the home.
Will You Automatically Lose Your Home to Foreclosure?
Whether or not you will lose your home to foreclosure will depend on whether you answer the complaint. If you do not and a default judgment is issued against you, it typically means you will lose your home. If you speak to a foreclosure defense lawyer who can help you answer the summons, raise affirmative defenses, file discovery demands, and make motions, there is a very good chance that you will not lose your home.
A foreclosure defense lawyer can also review with you the many options available. You may consider a short sale, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or bankruptcy. With these options, you may still lose your home eventually. However, it can slow the process, giving you more time to prepare, and keep a foreclosure off of your credit history. A foreclosure will remain on your credit report for seven years, so that is an important distinction.
What Happens After Foreclosure?
Although the thought of losing your home is unbearable, you may find it is even more frightening to consider the unknown, and what might happen afterward. If the lender is successful during foreclosure proceedings, the property is sold at auction and the title is transferred back to the lender. Many people think this is the point at which they have to leave their homes, and that is sometimes true. The lender may send you a notice that you must vacate the property within a certain amount of time. However, this does not always happen.
In some cases, the new owner may agree to rent the property to you under Florida’s Landlord-Tenant Act. To do this, the lender must agree to the rental agreement. If they do not, they can still send notice that you must evict the property.
Is My Mortgage Debt Cleared After Foreclosure?
It depends. If the property is sold at a foreclosure auction or in a short sale, the proceeds from the sale are likely not enough to fully cover your mortgage debt. When that is the case, the lender can pursue a deficiency judgment against you. The deficiency judgment will ask for the remaining amount of the mortgage that you owe.
However, you can stop the lender from pursuing a deficiency judgment. When working with a foreclosure defense lawyer, they can negotiate with the lender. During negotiations, your lawyer can include a provision in any agreement, such as a short sale agreement, that the lender waives their right to a deficiency judgment.
Is it Necessary to Work with a Florida Foreclosure Defense Lawyer?
Florida law does not require that you work with a lawyer during the foreclosure process. However, all homeowners facing foreclosure should speak to an attorney that can help with their case. Many homeowners, in fear of foreclosure, have never been through the process before and do not understand the many defenses available in these cases.
At Loan Lawyers, our Fort Lauderdale foreclosure defense attorneys know how to defend against the lender and give you the best chance of remaining in your home. Even if foreclosure is inevitable, we know how to place you in the best position after the foreclosure process so you can move ahead with your life.

420 with CNW – Yale Teams Up With Weed Company to Study Effects of Cannabis on Stress
The Yale School of Medicine and CT Pharmaceuticals Solutions Inc. have teamed up to conduct a study on the impact of medical marijuana on stress and mental health. On Friday, Yale and CT Pharmaceuticals announced that they would be conducting a phase-one study on the effects of a variety of cannabis strains with medicinal qualities for alleviating pain and stress. They will also examine other conditions such as PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and opioid replacement. This is a revolutionary clinical study which is the first of its kind to be approved by the state’s Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) medical marijuana research program to study stress and mental health, said Yale. The study on stress and mental health will advance CT Pharma’s current research which involves human subjects. CT Pharma’s current research was started in 2016 by Yale’s Dr. Rajita Sinha. In 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Sinha in collaboration with the CT Pharma, a go-ahead for an Investigational New Drug application to examine how marijuana products affect subjective and physical responses to stress and pain. In a news release, Sinha said that there is an increase in the consumption of medical marijuana in America, and it…

After a group trip to Europe for a comic festival, mangaka Jirô Taniguchi stops in Paris, hoping to visit the museums of the capital. Struck by an intense fever, he is instead confined him to his hotel room and, when he finally feels better, he decides to spend the remaining days of his holiday visiting the Louvre.
This is more or less the plot behind the latest graphic novel - Guardians of the Louvre (NBM Publishing) - commissioned by the Louvre to prominent artists (The Museum Vaults by Marc-Antoine Mathieu; On the Odd Hours by Eric Liberge; The Sky Over the Louvre by Jean-Claude Carrière and Bernard Yslaire; An Enchantment by Christian Durieux; Glacial Period by Nicolas De Crécy; Rohan at the Louvre by Hirohiko Araki; Phantoms of the Louvre by Enki Bilal, and Cruising Through the Louvre by David Prudhomme).
Yet there is more than just the Louvre in these pages: as Taniguchi joins the anonymous crowds of tourists visiting the museum, something mysterious happens to him. While walking around the lower ground floor of the Denon Wing he meets the Winged Victory of Samothrace, represented by an ethereal vision of a woman in a pink costume.
Victory reveals him the museum is protected by very special guardians, the souls of the artworks preserved here. The woman represents a Virgil-like figure, while Taniguchi is a sort of reinvented Dante Alighieri, but, rather than descending to Hell to rediscover Paradise, Victory escorts Taniguchi in a journey through time and space, first allowing him to see the most touristy spots in the Louvre such as the gallery where the Mona Lisa is displayed, then taking him to the labyrinth-like bowels of the museum to show him the air conditioning system that preserves the artworks.
The journey quickly turns into a hallucinatory trip through art: Taniguchi enters the parallel world of "Recollection of Mortefontaine" by painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, admired in Japan after 1897, and talks with a Japanese artist who was deeply inspired by him, Asai Chū.
Taniguchi highlights this connection between Japanese and French art, almost to remind his readers that his style, drawings and use of colour, place him in this tradition (in a way this book is also a discovery of the artists and works that inspired Taniguchi and this is the main reason why this volume is more personal than previous books about the Louvre).
From the Louvre, Taniguchi is transported to the Takanodai Gallery in the Ueno district of Tokyo where he admires Asai's western style paintings, and listens to Japanese novelist Natsume Sōseki analysing them; then he moves on, reaching Auvers-sur-Oise where he meets Vincent Van Gogh, witnesses some of his most famous paintings in progress and visits Daubigny's beautiful home study.
Some of the most interesting pages of the graphic novel tell a story from 1939: before the Nazi entered Paris, artworks were packed and taken away. The operations of evacuation were overseen by Jacques Jaujard, director of the French National Museums, who protected the artworks (the stories about how the Mona Lisa and "The Raft of the Medusa" were packed and taken away are fascinating).
Towards the end, the history of the Louvre is intertwined with Taniguchi's story: the author faces the grief caused by a personal loss, finally finding the strength to get on with his life.
Published by NBM in a larger hardcover package and in colour, Guardians of the Louvre is an elegant mangaka characterised by intricate details and poetic views and vistas (check out the astonishing architectural renderings) that at times turn each page into a canvas.
This volume is dedicated to art fans, illustrators, and travellers (yes, you could even take it with you on a trip to Paris), but also to all those lost souls who, trapped in the French capital for fashion events such as the current menswear shows, may feel the need to rush away from the superficiality surrounding them in search of something more inspiring that may nourish their minds with beautiful, positive and uplifting thoughts (and if you want a further connection between this artist and fashion, well, a while back Taniguchi did the Louis Vuitton Travel Book about Venice, but that, as they say, is another travel story).

Local chief executives in Metro Manila and in the provinces bared their respective COVID-19 vaccination plans on Wednesday, highlighting the importance of the local governments' preparedness to be able to convince their constituents to be inoculated against the coronavirus.
The Liveable Cities Challenge and the League of Cities Philippines, in partnership with Globe Telecom, just recently conducted a Virtual Briefing on Bloomberg Philanthropies 2021 Mayors Challenge held last 10 February 2021 (Wednesday) from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM.
Local government units (LGUs) must work together and take advantage of technology to create disaster-resilient towns and cities, according to architect Nathaniel “Dinky” von Einsiedel, president of the Alliance for Safe, Sustainable, and Resilient Environments (ASSURE). ASSURE is a group of environmental planners, architects, engineers, and related professionals directly involved with disaster risk mitigation and climate adaptation work. The group provided emergency assistance and built shelters in poor municipalities affected by Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.
In pre-COVID times, our urban transport systems were a daily challenge for many Filipinos. COVID-19 disrupted traditional urban systems and made life more difficult for people. Though we all want to open up the economy by allowing at least 50% of workers to return to work, our mass transit systems in Metro Manila, for instance, only allow up to 30% to actually find a ride. Cities need to adapt quickly and more creatively than ever before.
As we move towards the digital age, data will be the new “oil” which fuels better planning and informed decisions. Data plays an important role, especially in local governments. It allows local chief executives and managers to design better solutions, gain insights in delivering and enhancing services, formulate policies, and improve accountability and understanding of local operations.
In light of the COVID pandemic, the global lockdown has greatly affected cities around the world. Some cities have become epicenters of the pandemic, which intensified the spread and transmission of the virus with their dense population and transport networks. Hence, in line with this, cities play a critical role when it comes to its containment and response.

City of Casey, Hampton Park -Public Sculpture – Coral Drive Renewal Project, Hampton Park VIC. Facilitated by Kerryn Knight, the Dandenong Koorie Youth Group including Aiden Van Beek, Brodie Sinclair, Breanna Hosking, Jessica Hosking, Kristal Brighton and Skye Thomas have assisted in the design and creation of a beautiful and colourful mosaic ‘Medicine Wheel’ depicting Aboriginal Totem Animals and their meanings as paralleled by the Seasons of our life.
The Aboriginal totem animals of the Dingo, Snake, Goanna and ‘Bunjil’ the Eagle Creator Spirit of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People of the Kulin nation have been depicted in colourful mosaics and framed by footprints of the Koorie Youth Group embedded around the outer rim. As you travel around the sculpture, your journey starts in the North with ‘Bunjil’ the Creator Spirit. ‘Bunjil’ looks ahead with a bird’s eye view of the journey that awaits you. With creativity and vision, you plan your path ahead. Next you make your way to the East with the Goanna. Footprints are bigger now. The path is not always easy and the Goanna learns stillness and dignity in the face of difficulty. Through courage, strength and endurance it succeeds and grows. So too, you learn, succeed and grow on your journey. Then you continue to the South where the Snake sheds it’s skin. You, like the Snake make changes in your life, letting go of things not needed to continue on your journey and make way for the new. Continuing on, you travel to the West where the Mother Dingo awaits you. She helps you embody the changes you have made on your journey making you a whole new person through your gained awareness and wisdom. And then you return home to your centre for healing and rest awhile in your new skin. You then look to the path again to lead you on your next journey, and so continues the Seasons of your life.
The sculpture comprising a 2 meter diameter disc and seat has now been installed in the Hampton Park Coral Drive Tree Reserve, next to house number 91 Coral Drive, Hampton Park. Below are some photos of the progress from inception to completion.

Qualified users can grant roles and other users various privileges on tables or execute privilege on functions and procedures or global privileges. The table privileges are any combination of SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, TRUNCATE, UPDATE and REFERENCES. ALTER and INDEX privileges cannot be granted. Only the owner has the right to alter a table definition. Any privilege can be later revoked, which takes any combination of the previously granted privileges.
grantees: [ PUBLIC | authid ] ','...
Bulk I/O permissions
For reasons of security, by default, MonetDB only allows the special user monetdb to execute the bulk I/O statements COPY INTO (copy data from the database into a file) and COPY FROM (copy data from a file into the database). As of the June2016 release MonetDB supports granting a user/role the privilege of using the bulk I/O statements. These privileges are global privileges, i.e., they apply to all tables on which the user/role has the INSERT permission.
1. Grant permissions per table
It is possible to grant one privilege at a time to a user, per table:
GRANT SELECT ON bookSchema.toOrderTable TO libraryUser;
GRANT INSERT ON bookSchema.tOrderTable TO libraryUser;
However, if you want the user to be able to SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE DELETE and TRUNCATE then it can be done in one go:
GRANT ALL ON bookSchema.orderTable TO libraryWorker;
2. Parallel bulk load in shared schema
The following queries grant both the ownership of a schema and the bulk data loading permission (i.e., COPY FROM) to multiple users. Then, those users can log in and bulk load the data into different tables (of the same schema) in parallel.
-- 'monetdb' user
CREATE ROLE copy_role;
GRANT COPY FROM TO copy_role;
CREATE SCHEMA copy_schema AUTHORIZATION copy_role;
CREATE USER user1 WITH PASSWORD 'user1' NAME 'copy user' SCHEMA copy_schema;

'Chicago Fire' Season 8 Episode 5: Joe Cruz finally catches a break and fans couldn't be happier about his engagement to Chloe
Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) has been having a tough season on 'Chicago Fire', but that may be about to change. In the season premiere, he lost his best friend, roommate, and colleague Otis in the line of duty and he has been grieving ever since. In the crossover episode last week, it looked like he was ready to move forward with his life, getting ready to propose marriage to his girlfriend, Chloe. However, just before he could pop the question, she says that she thinks it's not working between them and breaks off their relationship.
In this week's episode of 'Chicago Fire', Cruz is dealing with that heartbreak. When Brett asks him what happened with the proposal, he tells her they broke up. Brett goes to speak with Chloe who tells her that she is afraid of losing him, with Cruz being a firefighter. We can see that Otis's death is affecting those in the periphery as well. But Brett convinces Chloe to change her mind and in a beautiful scene at the end of the episode, Chloe goes to Cruz with some cake pops, with the words "Ask Me" spelled out. Cruz doesn't need any more incentives and gets down on his knee instantly and Chloe accepts his proposal.
After a heartbreaking beginning to the season for Cruz and the viewers, this engagement breathes some optimism into the show. Fans couldn't be happier for Cruz as he asked Chloe to make him the happiest and luckiest man on earth and be his wife. One fan tweeted, "FINALLY!!! Cruz has a smile on his face & it's gonna last!! He needed that...shoo, all #ChiHards needed that! #ChicagoFire [sic]".
What fans are most excited about is the possibility of a wedding soon on 'Chicago Fire'. A moment of celebration will be much needed after what the firehouse has been through and would play as another nice way to honor Otis's memory. Fans hope that the engagement sticks and that the writers won't introduce any drama between the two as they think Cruz deserves this happiness.
Viewers couldn't forgive one thing, however: when Chloe says yes and kisses Cruz, the cake pops are dropped to the ground. It may seem insignificant, but 'Chicago Fire' fans are hilariously furious at the waste of a perfectly good set of cake pops!
'Chicago Fire' airs on NBC on Wednesday nights.

The supermarket is preparing for Christmas and has criticised EU border controls since Brexit. Archie Norman (chair of Marks & Spencer) stated that the delays of 24 hours on imports from Ireland or the rest of Europe were “of no use at all.”
He said that the EU’s rules for managing borders and the customs union were out-of-date and unsuited to their purpose.
Our product, fresh sandwiches, and ready-to-eat meals are being delayed for about one day. This is bad news if your sandwich is a sandwich.
We are getting around 80% of the product through. This is less than in France, which, as you can see, is draconian.
The announcement by Marks & Spencer follows that it is reviewing its future plans for France’s stores due to delays.

The Government may delay their implementation to allow businesses time to adjust.
The Government was told by Retailers on the high street that delays would not help, as they create more uncertainty.
“Most members of this group have put in a lot of effort and made significant investments in staff training and building new relationships with customs agents. It’s going to all be lost to some extent if it doesn’t begin on October 1, said Ian Wright, chief executive of the Food and Drink Federation.
The government told us for six months that there would be no change, and so our credibility is at stake.

Habitat for Humanity of Summit & Wasatch Counties is one of more than 230 Habitat for Humanity affiliates awarded a grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation as part of its nationwide initiative to help low-to-moderate-income families build and improve their homes across the U.S.
Habitat SWC received a $25,000 grant to help build two homes in Silver Creek Village The homes are part of a 10-unit townhouse project.
At least one in nine Utah households spend over half of their income on housing – in Summit County the rate is one in five – and the number of Summit County families who are struggling to afford rent is on the rise. The median price for a single-family home was $1.7 million in June, according to the Park City Board of Realtors’ monthly marketing information. A condominium during the same time had a $1.2 million price tag.
"Wells Fargo has always been a strong supporter of Habitat for Humanity, both internationally and locally with our affiliate. We are deeply grateful for their support," said Shellie Barrus, Executive Director of the Summit and Wasatch Counties Habitat affiliate.
This funding is part of a $7.75 million donation to Habitat for Humanity International through the Wells Fargo Builds program to support the construction, renovation and repairing of more than 350 affordable homes across the U.S.


The conventional progressive wisdom is that the Trump Administration will be bad for cities and for transit users. But in recent decades, a unified Republican government has been better for public transit than a divided government.
An efficient and equitable transport system must be diverse to serve diverse travel demands. Planners need better tools to quantify and communicate the benefits of walking, cycling and public transit to sometimes skeptical decision makers.
Looking to get out from under one of the primary factors for financial distress - pension obligations - city leaders across the United States are viewing bankruptcy as "a valuable tool in a city’s financial toolbox," reports Liz Farmer.


2 What is Tax Increment Financing (TIF)? TIF uses the projected increase in property tax revenue to be gained by developing an area to assist in paying for the development projectTIF can be a useful tool in helping to fund economic developmentTIF helps fund projects that otherwise would not get builtTax increment financing became possible in West Virginia after passage of Amendment One to the West Virginia Constitution on November 5, 2002Amendment One implements the West Virginia Tax Increment Financing Act which had previously been passed by the West Virginia State Legislature during the 2002 legislative session.
3 The TIF handbookThe West Virginia Development Office has developed a comprehensive TIF handbook outlining how to use tax increment financing in West VirginiaThe handbook includesInformation on tax increment financing in generalSpecific information on what qualifies for TIF under the West Virginia law and how to get development or redevelopment project areas or districts or development or redevelopment projects approvedSample applications for the use at the local level for project proposalsApplications that local officials will submit to the West Virginia Development OfficeThe information in this presentation is drawn from the TIF handbook.Additional detail about many of the topics raised in this presentation can be found in the TIF handbook.The TIF handbook will be available soon!!
4 Who can use TIF?Tax increment financing is a tool that can be used by counties and class I and II municipalities in West VirginiaProjects that receive TIF funding can be proposed by a county, a municipality, another government entity or a private developerHowever, every project must have the support of the local county or class I or II municipality who have the responsibility of getting approval for TIF-funded projects
5 Where can TIF be used?Tax increment financing can only be used for projects within a development or redevelopment project area or districtSuch project areas or districts can be established in advance of a project idea or at the same time a project is being proposedProjects must directly and substantively benefit the area in which they are locatedTIF financing is reserved for projects that otherwise would not get built
6 Development or Redevelopment Project Areas or Districts Development or redevelopment project areas or districts can exist for no more than thirty (30) yearsA development project area or district is a discrete, contiguous geographic area that has not previously been developed or is underdevelopedA redevelopment project area or district is a discrete, contiguous geographic area that needs upgrading and can be classified as either (1) a blighted area or (2) a conservation areaThe development of a development or redevelopment area or district would result in:An increase in jobs,Enhancement of the tax base, andEncourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing to locate their operations in West Virginia1) A blighted area is a one with conditions that prevent or significantly hinder the sound growth of the community. These conditions include, but are not limited to: dilapidated and deteriorated structures, unsafe or unsanitary conditions, overcrowding, poor street layout, faulty lot layout, and the existence of conditions which endanger life or property or are a menace to the public health, safety, and welfare.2) A conservation area is one in which fifty percent or more of the structures are thirty-five years or older and which is at risk of becoming a blighted area because of the presence of at least three of the following factors:Dilapidation;Obsolescence;Deterioration;Illegal use of individual structures;Structures below minimum code standards;Abandonment;Excessive vacancies;Overcrowding of structures and community facilities;Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities;Inadequate utilities;Excessive land coverage;Harmful land use or land layout;Deterioration of physical maintenance; and/orLack of community planning.
7 Development or Redevelopment Projects A development or redevelopment project must promote the economic development of the project area or district by:Eliminating a blighted area,Preventing the deterioration of an area into a blighted area,Increasing employment, and/orEncouraging the location of commercial or industrial activity and jobs in West VirginiaExamples of projects that might use Tax Increment Financing:Creating an industrial site – including installing sewer, water, and electric lines to the siteCleaning up a environmentally blighted area and preparing the land for future developmentBuilding a road that improves access to an areaOther examples:Infrastructure construction or repair – such as sewer expansion/repair, storm drainage, street construction/expansion, expanding access to the water supply, park improvements, bridge construction/repair, curb and sidewalk improvements, devices for traffic control, street lighting, etc…;Land acquisition;Land improvements – such as building demolition, brownfield remediation, or other site improvements;Community revitalization construction – such as landscaping or street lighting;The development or redevelopment of the project area for housing, public facilities, or industrial or commercial development;Other development that eliminates unsanitary or unsafe conditions; reduces overcrowding in the area, reduces traffic congestion, eliminates traffic hazards, or eliminates obsolete or detrimental uses to the area;Other capital improvements to the area;Any other projects deemed appropriate by the county or municipality with authority over the development or redevelopment project area or district as meeting the purposes of the West Virginia Tax Increment Financing Act.
8 How does Tax Increment Financing work? A development or redevelopment project area or district is establishedThe county assessor certifies the base assessed valueA development or redevelopment project gets approvedEach year, over the life of the TIF-funded project, the county assessor will certify the current assessed value of the property in the development or redevelopment project area or districtThe difference between the amount of regular levy property taxes on the current assessed value and the amount of regular levy property taxes on the base assessed value is the tax increment“Base assessed value” is the value of all real and tangible property with a tax situs in the development or redevelopment project area or district on July 1st prior to establishing such area or district.The increment only applies to regular levy property taxesExcess levies and levies for general obligation bond debt service are not part of the regular levies and will not be affected by the use of tax increment financing.
9 How does Tax Increment Financing work? TIF can be used when a development or redevelopment project is expected to generate a positive incrementIn other words, TIF works when a project is expected to increase property values in the project area or districtThe incremental increase in regular levy taxes are used to help finance the project in one of two ways:(1) Pay-as-you-go(2) Issuing Tax Increment Financing Bonds or Notes(1) Pay-as-you-go. In some cases, the county or municipality may be able to use the tax increment to pay for projects as they are constructed. The county or municipality will still need to submit a project proposal to the State Development Office.(2) Issuing Tax Increment Financing Bonds or Notes. In other cases, there may be substantial upfront development costs and the county or municipality will need to issue tax increment financing bonds or notes in order to use the increment to help finance the project.These obligations will provide money upfront to pay for a portion or all of the project’s costs; the obligations will then be paid back by the tax increment over a period of up to thirty (30) years.
10 TIF: An example TIF bonds are to be issued in Kanawha County Property has base assessed value of $500,000.Regular levies on this property are $ per each $100 in assessed value. (As a result, local levying bodies are currently collecting $7,738 in regular levies on this property.)If TIF bonds are issued to help fund the project, property values are expected to rise to $1.5 million in 2005 and then by an additional three (3) percent per year after that.The local levying bodies will continue to receive $7,738 in regular levies from this property throughout the financing period.The increment will be used to make payments to holders of the TIF bonds issued for this project.At the end of the financing period, all tax revenues will revert back to the local levying bodies.
11 The graph illustrates how the regular levy property taxes will change over a thirty (30) year period.The bottom line indicates the amount that the local levying bodies will receive over this period.
12 Establishing a Development or Redevelopment Project Area or District Hold public hearings;Obtain from the county assessor the base assessed value of all taxable property with a tax situs in the proposed project area or district;Submit an application to the West Virginia Development Office;Adopt a county order or enact a municipal ordinance approving the development or redevelopment project area or district; andEstablish the tax increment financing fund (TIF fund).
13 TIF FundThe TIF fund is the fund in which the tax increment in a development or redevelopment project area or district is deposited by the county sheriff.A TIF fund is established after an order or ordinance is approved establishing the project area or district.The county or municipality must establish a process to be used to allocate any excess increment that accrues in the TIF fund for the project area or district and that is not tied to a specific project proposalThis could happen if property values increase faster than expectedThere also could be excess money if there is no approved project and property values increase
14 Getting Approval for a TIF-funded Development or Redevelopment Project Receive a detailed application from a developer;If the project proposal includes use of TIF bonds, consult with outside bond counsel and investment bankers or commercial bankers about the feasibility of using TIF bonds for this project;Determine whether the proposed TIF bonds or notes will be tax-exempt from federal taxesTIF bonds are always exempt from West Virginia taxes;Verify all information in the project application;Hold public hearings;Establish a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with any outside developer on competitive bidding and local labor practices;Submit an application for project approval to the West Virginia Development Office; andAdopt a county order or pass a municipal ordinance approving the development or redevelopment project plan.If the applicant has already met with a bond counsel and an investment banker or commercial banker, do not hesitate to meet with others
15 The Local Application Process for Development or Redevelopment Projects The law gives counties and municipalities considerable flexibility in establishing the process by which they will consider project proposals from developers.A sample application form and set of standards, which have been endorsed by the West Virginia Municipal League, West Virginia Association of Counties, and the County Commissioners’ Association of West Virginia can be found in Exhibit B of the West Virginia Tax Increment Financing Handbook.The application requirements include information on the developer, the project, and the sources of financing.This application form should include, but not be limited to:Information about the project developer, including corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, or limited liability partnership papers, if applicable;Copies of audited financial statements or federal income tax returns for the developer for the most recent five years. In the event the developer is a partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity that does not file federal income tax returns, copies of federal forms 1065, including all schedules filed, or federal form 1120S and all schedules filed, and federal form 8825 shall be filed in lieu of audited financial statements;The name and contact information for the bond counsel and investment bankers or commercial bankers with whom they have been working, if any;Information on similar projects the developer has done in the past and the relevant experience of individuals who will be working on this project;A detailed description of the project;A list of estimated project costs and how they are expected to be financed, including findings that this project would not otherwise be fully financed without the use of TIF financing;Evidence of the financial feasibility of this project;A development schedule;An estimate of job creation from the project – including the wages and benefits associated with those jobs;A map showing the current uses and conditions of the area;A map showing proposed improvements and uses of the area;A list of any public improvements that will be needed in addition to the private developer’s project;An estimate of the fiscal impact on the local levying bodies that will be forgoing the tax increment during the life of the project. This includes the effect on schools, roads, public safety, county and municipal services, etc…
16 The Approval Process and the Expenditure of Funds The law allows counties and municipalities to be reimbursed from TIF funds for of any cost incurred during the approval processA county or municipality may need to pass an inducement resolution in order to make expenditures (that may later be reimbursed).Counties or municipalities may also want to require private developers to pay for the approval costsThis will cut down on the number of “false applications”
17 Public Hearings and Comment The law requires that the public and other levying bodies in an area be given the opportunity for comment through a public hearing process.When the development or redevelopment project area or district is being proposed at the same time as a development or redevelopment project, the hearings may be conducted either separately or together as long as they meet the guidelines outlined in the law.Such guidelines include advance notifications of hearings through publication of such notices in local publications and letters to other local governing bodies.During the notification period, but not to exceed thirty (30) days:All municipalities included in a project area or district proposed by a county must provide their approval in the form of a resolution.All counties included in a project area or district proposed by a class I or II municipality will have the opportunity to request further information, provide guidance, or make other formal requests.Hearing on an area or district. The notice of a hearing on a development or redevelopment area or district must be published once each week for the three (3) consecutive weeks immediately preceding the public hearing as a class III legal advertisement. The notice must at a minimum include:The date, time, place, and purpose of the hearing;A description in sufficient detail of the proposed boundaries of the development or redevelopment project area or district.In addition, prior to the first publication of this notice, a copy must be sent by first-class mail to the chief executive officer of all other local governing bodies with the power to levy taxes on property located within the proposed development or redevelopment project area or district.Hearing on a project. The notice of the hearing must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or municipality where the proposed project is located at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing. Additionally, prior to the publication of this notice, a copy must be sent by first-class mail to the chief executive officer of all other local governing bodies with the power to levy taxes on property within the development or redevelopment project area or district where the project will be located.
18 Approval by the StateA county or municipality must apply to the West Virginia Development Office for approval of:A proposed development or redevelopment project area or district.A project to be financed, in whole or part, by TIF financing.The Development Office has sixty (60) days to approve the application, reject the application, or return the application to the county or municipality with instructions.TIF is a tool for local officials. The State role is simply to ensure that a county or municipality has met the requirements of the law, including conducting a thorough analysis of:The proposed project, its economic feasibility, and its effect on jobs and the local economy, in both the short- and long-term, andThe need for TIF financing, the terms of the financing, and the effect of TIF financing on local levying bodies.Detailed applications for approval by the West Virginia Development Office are included in the TIF handbook.When applications for areas or districts and projects are submitted together, a single sixty(60)-day period will apply.Applications for State approval can be found in Exhibit D (project area or district) and Exhibit E (project) of the TIF handbook.
19 Orders or OrdinancesThe county commission or the governing body of a municipality must adopt an order or ordinance establishing a development or redevelopment area.The county commission or the governing body of a municipality must adopt an order or ordinance approving a project plan.
20 Prevailing Wage, Local Labor Preferences, and Competitive Bidding Any development or redevelopment project that has been approved by the West Virginia Development Office that exceeds $25,000 and that receives even 1-cent of TIF money is deemed by statute to be a public improvement and is subject to the prevailing wage, local labor preferences, and competitive bidding requirements.A county or municipality must establish a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with any outside developer in which such person acknowledges his/her obligations to pay prevailing wages and which outlines the competitive bidding process for this project

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Clinical Study
A Basic Science Investigation Designed to Elucidate the Mechanism of Action,
at the Cellular Level, for Red Laser Light Therapy and Hair Growth
The physiological effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on human follicular cells surrounding dermal tissue structures.
This study on LLLT aimed to define the safety and physiologic effects that occur when the human hair follicle and surrounding tissue structures are exposed to this type of radiation. The data available has been the result of testing murine models, not human. To properly identify the effects in human subjects, exposure to LLLT is not sufficient. The analysis of the non-radiated and radiated tissues is required to elucidate the tissue response and efficacy of the laser therapy. The theory that is widely accepted is that the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the stem cells that cause hair growth. The LLLT ‘turns on’ the nutrient pump process that energizes the mitochondria, which leads to an increase in ATP and subsequent reversal of hair follicles from the dormant stage of growth called telogen, to the active growth stage called anagen.
This was a single site study. The length of time required to complete the study, under this protocol, inclusive of all subject therapy and tissue harvesting did not exceed 16 weeks. All subjects, of which there were five in total, were recruited by the Principal Investigator from his pool of medical colleagues and associates. No advertising of any type was required to recruit the five subjects.
Material and Methods
Subjects experiencing Androgenetic Alopecia. The total number of subjects numbered five. Age range was 19 to 59 years. Apparent good health. Each participant was subjected to a brief physical examination and the taking of a medical history including information on current treatment and prescription drugs. No blood work was required unless the cause of the loss of hair was in question. No previous involvement in other hair studies. No use of any hair growth agent within the last six months.
The LLLT device that was used is called the REVAGE670™. It is a low-level diode laser system, operating at 670 nanometers, containing thirty 4-milliwatt diode lasers affixed in a rotating helmet. The subject’s head was positioned within the helmet, which is similar to a hair dryer, until a sensor triggered the start of therapy. There was no contact between the subject and the device; only the laser light reached the subject’s scalp. Treatment lasted for approximately 15 minutes, but was dependent on skin type classifications. The laser automatically shut off after the treatment session was complete. There was no pre or post treatment care required, only that the subject’s hair was clean and did not contain spray or gel fixative agents. No safety eyewear was required during the treatment session.
After recruitment was complete, the five subjects were evaluated to determine Fitzpatrick skin type, which is required for prescribing the appropriate length of each laser treatment session. Each subject received two treatments per week for six weeks and one treatment per week for six weeks, totaling 18 laser treatments. The area of treatment was the vertex of the scalp. The initial visit included the harvesting of pre-treatment tissue samples. After the 18th treatment, tissue samples were harvested again from the designated area of laser treatment. It is proposed that this algorithm caused the physiologic changes to occur at the cellular level, which was theorized by experts in the field of Photomedicine and LLLT.
There were no validated questionnaires available for querying subjects about hair loss treatments and subsequent outcomes. Therefore, no questionnaires or subject diaries were employed for this study.
Prior to the first laser treatment session, but on the same day, a 3mm punch biopsy was harvested from the area designated as the treatment area for the laser. The procedure for harvesting the tissue was as follows:
A sterile field was prepared
1% lidocaine with epinephrine, (1-100,000) was injected to provide anesthesia
A single use, 3mm punch was used to harvest the tissue sample
A 6/0 dermal, polypropylene suture was used to make a primary closure of the site
The suture was removed between 7 to 10 days post-closure
The tissue sample was labeled with a number ONLY. A reference was maintained in the subject’s medical record identifying the tissue sample and the subject
The tissue sample was immersed in a preservative container and shipped to a research laboratory where the tissue analysis was performed under a different IRB approval. The laboratory was Wellman Center of Photomedicine. After analysis was completed by Wellman, the tissue samples were incinerated
A statement of findings from the Wellman Center researchers was submitted to the IRB upon completion of the study in its entirety
There were no known risks or discomforts associated with the laser treatments administered with the REVAGE670. Although it was not anticipated, there was a very slight risk of bruising, scarring and infection from the tissue harvesting and blood drawing procedures. All possible precautions were taken to prevent these unwanted effects. No other risks were anticipated. All subjects were monitored for changes in health status or for indications of any form of infection in the areas where tissue was harvested. The monitoring was performed, on each visit, by the physician investigator and his staff.
Summary of Results
There were eight before and after biopsies taken from four subjects to compare. There were four outcome measures: (a) number of hairs, (b) presence of anagen hairs, (c) number of hairs containing Melanin, (d) presence of Ki67, a marker of proliferating cells in the hair follicles. ALL FOUR subjects showed improvement in at least one of these measures in at least one pair of biopsies. Subject 5 had the most impressive overall improvement.
Each of the four subjects demonstrated an increase of melanogenesis. Based upon work published by Tobin, Hordinsky and Bernardz in the J. Investig Dermatolo Symp Proc 10:275 – 279, 2005, melanogenesis in the hair shaft, bulge and outer root sheath occurs only in Anagen I-IV. Such published research supports the theory that if red laser light causes an increase of melanogenesis, it must be stimulating the production of Anagen hairs, which would lead to more terminal hairs.
Before / After
Photos show typical results at 6 months of LLLT treatment.

As the European Union’s most populous and economically most powerful country, Germany is the heavyweight in EU politics. It is no wonder that the whole Europe (including UNITEE) eagerly anticipated the results of the general German elections this September. Would the German people vote for a change and elect opposition leader Peer Steinbrück? Or would they back the current government and re-elect the woman who led the country since 2005 – Angela Merkel?
The outcome was clear: a historic victory for Angela Merkel’s centre-right party, the Christian Democrats (CDU). They won 41.5 percent of the votes.
Did you know that they missed the absolute majority in the Bundestag, the German parliament, by only 5 seats? The last time a party got an absolute majority was in 1957, under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer!
The Germans rewarded and confirmed the course of Merkel’s government. In the electoral campaign, national concerns, such as tax issues and minimum wage, dominated the debate. But it was more than clear, that the CDU’s main trump was Angela Merkel and her great international reputation.
While her critics denunciate her lack of leadership and see her as too slow, too hesitant or not generous enough, the German electorate thought differently. They confirmed Merkel’s prudential and pragmatic crisis management, in times of an economically troubled Europe. Her supporters see mostly one aspect: she provides Europe with what it needs the most; namely stability.
With the Christian Democrats’ re-election, Europe’s course remains the same. In a press conference in Berlin, Merkel said: “We will continue our European politics, this is the most important message to the people. European politics is part of our core brand and we will continue that in spirit,”(euobserver).
She stands for rigid austerity measures – her way of tackling the severe economic situation in Southern Europe. She expects the weakening European economies to follow the German example and to reform themselves, in order to restore their competitiveness. As a matter of fact, while it was the “sick man” of Europe only 10 years ago, Germany carried out painful reforms and is now an “anchor of stability”. Merkel believes: “What we have done, everyone else can do.”(theguardian)
Also, a coalition with the Social Democrats, a so called “grand coalition”, will bring little change to this course. The Social Democrats do have concerns regarding the Sparpolitik – austerity. They also believe that the economic recovery of the Eurozone might not be that simple. This is tricky, because where there is no demand, economic growth is hard to achieve. However, they remain the junior partner in this coalition, and so far during the crisis, they have backed Merkel on all big European decisions.
Nevertheless, a coalition with the Social Democrats could be good news for Europe in some aspects. Merkel lacks a clear position on Europe for too long now, mainly because she is scared of falling out with her own Christian Democrat Party. Due to that, she gave the floor to Eurosceptic movements opposing EU integration. Now, the new German government might finally be forced to take a stand.
Hopefully, the “grand coalition” will also provide a somewhat more strategic approach concerning their foreign, defence, and security policy. The EU and Germany lack leadership and too reactive regarding these issues in the past. There is a real chance now that Merkel will finally move forward in addressing Europe’s absence of strategy.
Only the future will tell us how much this new political constellation will influence Germany’s stand on Europe. One thing is clear though: Ms Merkel will stay, and so will her leadership style. Some might criticise it as too slow and too reactive, some praise her as a cautious and thoughtful strategist.
But what do you think? Is Angela Merkel Europe’s curse or its remedy? Does Europe need stability or drastic changes?

After multiple meetings, the Edwardsville City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday to approve the zoning change from residential to business. Aldermen Chris Farrar and Janet Stack voted “no.”
At issue is a 3.78-acre tract of land at the northeast corner of Governors’ Parkway and Illinois 157. Nearby Gardens Condominium ownershad petitioned to have the zoning not change.
Last week, at an administrative and community service (ACS) committee meeting, Jamie Eads of Blue High, LLC, introduced herself and explained that Robert Plummer owns the property and his aim is to put a hotel there.
Condo owners Jeanie Benson and Patricia Anderson spoke in opposition yet again Tuesday while other residents sat in the audience. While Plummer’s presence seemed to alter Anderson’s opinion, especially his promise to install privacy fencing between the condos and the potential hotel site, Benson remained steadfast in her opposition.
She urged aldermen deny the change based on two factors – safety and viability to surrounding area.
Benson repeated her objections that the planned lone ingress/egress point would cause further traffic problems on Illinois 157, the parkway and University Drive. She reiterated that city plan commission members said the site is a perfect candidate for a planned unit development (PUD) so why didn’t the city use that mechanism. ACS Chairman William Krause told her last week that a large swath of the community has PUD Fatigue and wants the procedure abolished. Benson on Tuesday said that, in a few short years, the city may suffer from “hotel fatigue.”
Anderson said regardless of what gets built there, the traffic issue needs to be resolved for residents, visitors and those who work at or attend Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

ABSSAC has been the UK distributor for Rollvis satellite roller screws for many years and over that time they have successfully placed the product in numerous applications. Recently, satellite roller screws were required to replace recirculating ball screw designs within a pharmaceutical application. The application involved the enhanced manufacture of tablet form medication, but required precision axial movement as well as greatly increased axial thrust. The existing design was limited by physical space in which the product could operate, which had meant that a larger ball screw design could not be used to overcome the high axial thrust requirement.
Using the standard Rollvis RV series, meant that the physical roller screw's nut diameter could in fact be significantly smaller than the original ball nut design, which translated into less unit cost. The satellite roller screw product has precision rollers instead of ball bearings in the nut housing. The rollers transmit the load between the nut and the screw and since the rollers are constantly engaged with the threads of the screw, results in a high number of contact points, which ultimately, allows the satellite roller screw to support heavier axial loads. Interestingly, when the screw turns, the satellite rollers move as the lead on the screw and the rollers do not move axially relative to the nut and are not recycled. Additionally, roller screws have much greater longevity and can enable up to 4 times the axial thrust capacity for the equivalent sized ball nut screw design.
