Well that took forever!
I started this book very soon when it came out late last year. I actually started it as an audio book. I got this one because the narrator's voice on the sample audio I listened to was very nice. Very nice, that is, until she got to Portia's voice. High, shrill, nasal. Ugh. So very un-Portia. I had to ditch the audio, that one voice took me out of the story every time.
The story starts out well enough with Julia and Brisbane on their honeymoon. But it soon lost a bit of steam for me and over the past year, I put it down quite a few times only to pick it up again quite a few times. I did pick up the book again this week it did finally click with me.
The mystery Julia is trying to solve is who killed Freddie Cavendish. Freddie happens to be the husband of Portia's former lover Jane. The man Jane left Portia for because she wanted to marry and have a family. Now, Jane is pregnant and possibly in danger. Portia has conscripted Julia, Brisbane and Plum to travel to India to protect Jane until she delivers and can travel back to England. Portia fears that the motive for Freddie's death has to do with his inheritance and Jane and her unborn child may be the next victims.
So Julia proceeds with her investigation with this in mind. Along the way she meets various people in the smallish community where Jane now lives and unearths all kinds of secrets and some surprising revelations that hit very close to home. The mystery actually morphs into several little mysteries. As I finally sunk into the story (thank goodness!) it flowed well and I didn't want to put it down. I found the trajectory of the mystery much better as the narrative went on. The ending was gratifying, surprising and a little melancholy.
While the stories are always told from Julia's point of view, I find Brisbane to be the real center of the series. He's a strong and fascinating character. The romance reader in me enjoys the love life of the two central protagonists. This installment includes a nice realistic glimpse into the ways that Julia and Brisbane are adjusting to married life.
I think ultimately what made this book a lesser installment for me was the lack of involvement of the rest of the Marsh family. Yes, Plum and Portia were there, but I have found that a lot of my enjoyment of this series stems from Julia's (and Brisbane's) interaction with her whole family.
Still I am glad I soldiered through and finished this one.

As we reported three days ago, the political group Freedom Inc. has decided to endorse the Missouri transportation sales tax but oppose the streetcar district, calling it “touristy frou-frou.”
“City politicians have targeted the poorest neighborhoods in our city for higher property and sales taxes, excluding the more affluent areas to the north and south from this tax,” the group says.
“Other neighborhoods said ‘No!’ and were excluded. Freedom joins those other neighborhoods in saying NO!”
At the same time, Freedom said yes to a ten-year sales tax for the state.
“Who says Freedom doesn’t support taxes?” the release says. “Generally, the organization is opposed to a regressive sales tax, but this time there were reasons for an exception.”
There is also word that the Heavy Constructors may yet play a role in the streetcar debate. Stay with the Buzz for the latest developments first.

Henryk Górecki’s iconic third symphony, often called “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs,” made a huge impact on listeners in the early 1990s and was a musical touchstone for virtuoso saxophonist and Ann Arbor native Colin Stetson.
The work’s three movements centered around three laments, each focused in some way to child being taken away from a mother. Celebrated for the way he “demolishes clichés to unleash fresh, unexpected energies,” (Pitchfork) Stetson takes on the mammoth task of reimagining Górecki’s symphony for an expansive and contemporary sonic palate. Sorrow, his inspired new interpretation of the heartbreaking work, is “timeless and of the moment.” (PopMatters) It draws on a uniquely constructed 11-member ensemble (including Arcade Fire’s Sarah Neufeld), employing electric guitars, synthesizers, drums, strings, woodwinds, and soprano to create transformative extensions of the emotional core of the piece.
Colin Stetson, alto, tenor, and bass saxophones; contrabass clarinet; lyricon

Sarah Neufeld, violin
Rebecca Foon, cello
Dan Bennett, tenor and baritone saxophones, clarinet

December 17, 2018
2018: The Year in Review
Healthier Generation's latest annual impact report provides a comprehensive look at the organization's portfolio of work over fiscal year 2018.
FY 2018 was a transformative year at Healthier Generation. As our programmatic reach expanded to serve more schools and communities than ever before, so too did our scope of work to address the needs of the whole child. Supported by our network of trusted collaborators and wellness champions, we took bold new steps to improve environments that shape health outcomes for millions of children.
As we continue to evolve, we’ll look to these successes for inspiration and consult our key learnings for guidance. Below are 5 of our top takeaways from FY 2018:
1. Health equity drives our work
We believe every child deserves a healthy future. This belief drives us to target our work in communities in greatest need of support. In FY 2018, 73% of schools and 77% of out-of-school time organizations enrolled in our programs served high-need populations.
2. Technology expands our capacity to serve
Creative digital marketing strategies paired with data analytics helped us engage more schools and out-of-school time programs in FY 18 than ever before. The expansion of our digital network aided in the enrollment of 3,125 new schools and 384 new out-of-school time sites in our programs, meaning more kids have access to healthy environments and role models.
3. Schools are committed to creating healthy environments for students, staff, and families
Across the nation, there’s a growing movement for healthier schools. In FY 18, over 300 schools from 30 states and the District of Columbia earned a spot on the list of “America’s Healthiest Schools” by demonstrating a strong commitment to health-promoting policies and practices.
4. Collaborations are key to creating systemic change
Collaborating with the business sector, we can increase access to healthier beverages and foods for schools and families. From supporting corner store initiatives to bringing together public health leaders and representatives from leading food and beverage companies, our work to evolve our marketplace brings a new dimension of leadership and impact to health initiatives nationwide.
5. Empowered role models empower kids to be healthy
By equipping adults with the right tools and resources to promote and model healthy habits, we can empower more kids to thrive. From healthy celebration ideas to seasonal recipe “swaps,” our digital marketing campaigns inspired thousands of educators, families, and wellness champions to help kids eat healthy and move more.

text: Black as a moonless night, silent as the grave… these are the qualities that make up our new lightweight Nightshade™ series. Most are detailed reproductions of existing Cold Steel favorites and some are new designs representing the newest trends in high-tech, covert construction. Made from Griv-Ex™ the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic, and stronger than even the super tough Zy-Ex we have used in earlier models they are UV and heat stabilized, making them impervious to the elements. One of the most unique features of these knives is their handles. They are made from deeply checkered Kray-Ex™ that has been molded directly to the blade tangs. The use of Kray-Ex™ in knife handles is a Cold Steel innovation that dates back to the early 1980's. It has been readily copied by most of our competitors because it offers a superior, slightly tacky gripping surface that is unaffected by heat, cold, or moisture. It never rusts, warps, cracks or splits even in the most extreme environments. Our Nightshade™ knives are light enough to be tied, tucked, or taped just about anywhere on one's person. And, since they are impervious to heat, cold, moisture and extreme weather they are a natural to hide both inside and outside your house. They can be hidden virtually everywhere from the hedges and flowerpots in your yard, to the refrigerator, bookshelves, and closets in your house. Keep one in every room of the house, from the laundry room to the bathroom shower! With violent home invasions on the rise a strategically placed Nightshade™ could save the day, and even your life.

Heinz will find out this week if its decision to sideline its lead legal adviser Clifford Chance has paid off, with the Competition Commission set to release its judgment on the company’s takeover of HP Foods Group.
Slaughter and May was appointed as its leading legal team last October after the acquisition of HP Foods was referred to the Competition Commission.
The decision was understood to have come as a shock to Clifford Chance, which advised Heinz on its purchase of HP Foods.
Slaughters competition head Malcolm Nicholson led the team for Heinz along with fellow competition partner Bertrand Louveaux.
Heinz director of corporate affairs Michael Mullen insisted that Slaughters was brought in to “add to resources”.
The commission is expected to hand down its findings regarding the completed acquisition this week. The Office of Fair Trading has asked the commission to investigate whether customers will be affected by the reduction of competition regarding the supply of tomato ketchup and brown sauce, as well as other food products.
Clifford Chance and Slaughters declined to comment.

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday night that she is weighing another presidential campaign and is “very much concerned” about the direction of the country, citing climate change as a particular focus.
Clinton, who would be an overwhelming front-runner for the Democratic nomination should she seek it in 2016, made her comments in response to a question from a student at the close of the Clinton Global Initiative University conference at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz.
“If you don’t represent women in politics in America as future president, who will?” the student asked Clinton.
The former secretary of state and former first lady responded: “I appreciate the sentiment. I’m obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions.”
“Look,” Clinton added, “I am very much concerned about the direction of our country – and it’s not just who runs for office, but what they do when they get there and how we bring people together and particularly empower young people so that we can tackle these hard decisions we’ve just been talking about.”
Clinton also spoke forcefully about climate change, saying she hopes the millennial generation sparks a “mass movement” to bring environmental issues to the forefront of American politics.
“This is not just some ancillary issue,” Clinton said. “This will determine in large measure the quality of life in so many places around the world. I’m hoping that there will be this mass movement that demands political change.”
Clinton’s comments came during the Clinton Global Initiative University, a charitable gathering of about 1,200 college students sponsored by the Clinton family foundation. She spoke out about climate change during a wide-ranging family interview that late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel conducted on stage with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
Kimmel asked whether the Clintons ever do “frivolous” things together, to which Hillary Clinton responded, “Boy, have we fooled you!”
The Clintons said they enjoy watching “Antiques Roadshow” together, and that Hillary especially loves home decorating shows.
Bill Clinton said they like to play card games together and do jigsaw puzzles. “We do a lot of silly things,” he said.
Hillary Clinton added, “I wouldn’t mind one of those grandchildren we’ve been talking about,” at which point 34-year-old Chelsea interjected, “Shameless.”

The Toronto Star has created an interactive graphic detailing the myriad of reckless spending cuts the Harper Government has made over the past 8 years.
The article also delves into Harper’s Soviet-style government secrecy and the difficulties the Parliamentary Budget Office — Harper created — has had in gaining access to public budget documents.
“The idea for a parliamentary budget office came when the Conservatives were an opposition party,” Page said in an interview. It was a “noble idea” to set up an independent body to make government spending more accountable. “Obviously, everything changed when they took power.”
But Page says MPs are deliberately being denied information they need to fulfill their duty to scrutinize the use of taxpayers’ money. “The prime minister effectively rigs the game so the power of the purse rests with the cabinet and the PM, as opposed to the House of Commons where it belongs,” says Page.
Balanced budget bullshit
The Cons are boasting the mess they made of the budget with $44.4 billion a year in boutique tax cuts will be cleaned up in time for the 2015 election. Of course, they plan to return to massive deficits with promises of billions more in frivolous tax expenditures — part of their “starve the beast” agenda.
Clearly there’s no way to know what the real budget numbers will be until we oust the Cons and get a real look at the books. But when Flim Flam Flaherty was finance minister in Ontario in 2003, he claimed a $5.6 billion deficit was a balanced budget. I hate to think how deep the rabbit hole goes now.
Restructure, reverse, repair
Whoever forms the next government will have to restructure/reverse most of these tax cuts and put the resources to better use. Trudeau and Mulcair must forgo the lame “read my lips: no new taxes” bullshit.

The girl group was put together by Diddy in 2005 during the show Making the Band. And they appeared on the red carpet Sunday night for the 2013 Video Music Awards.
The group now consists of Aubrey, Aundrea, Dawn, and Shannon, who made a preview on Aubrey’s Instagram account.
Us Weekly notes that, in lieu of her rejoining Danity Kane, D. Woods released a statement, saying, “Much love to the ladies of DK!! They have decided to reunite and I, like our amazing fans, will be cheering them on.”
The group released its first album in 2006 and another in 2008. However, they announced their split in 2009. But the girls stated on the red carpet Sunday, “We’re baaaack!”
MTV notes that the group’s first song will be called “Rage,” and they are embarking this time without the help of Diddy. At the time of their break up, Dawn Richards commented that it was O’Day and Woods who decided to defect from the group.
Richards explained, “You’ll see me and Drea try and pick up the pieces on our own [on this season’s show] — pieces that we didn’t even make. We didn’t even break it and we’re trying to sweep it up ourselves.”
Richards added that Diddy invited them all to come back for the season. However, “Only two of us showed up.” But it appears that Aubrey O’Day is on board this time around. The last four standing tweeted out the announcement ahead of the VMAs, but their on-carpet reunion was the best confirmation Danity Kane fans could have expected.
Only time will tell if the four remaining ladies of Danity Kane stick together this time around. No date has been set for a new album.

08: Hull City 2 - 1 Wigan Athletic - 03/10/2009
We are well aware that the chairman of Hull City wouldn't have the balls to fire the manager in any event, but for the moment he doesn't have to. Phil Brown got the players back onside against Wigan Athletic to earn a crucial, job-preserving win.
The game was one of the dullest seen at the KC Stadium in years, but it still produced some smart football, tenacity in abundance and three most welcome points. Brown made the expected changes but while a couple were predictable, a couple more certainly weren't. What was certainly unexpected, particularly after sweeping Chelsea aside with craft and ease last week, was that Wigan would be so poor.
Nick Barmby, acting captain and therefore suddenly a first choice player, took to the pitch with the chronically unlucky Kamel Ghilas relegated to the bench. Kamil Zayatte returned but as holding midfielder, with Kevin Kilbane reverted to the centre of defence. Dean Marney also earned a recall to the midfield and responded with one of his better displays.
From kick off City could have had a penalty when Barmby's shot hit Manuel Figueroa on the hand but it was interpreted as accidental. Marney then shot down Chris Kirkland's throat from distance after nice work from Geovanni as City applied the early pressure.
Hugo Rodallega hit one too high after Boaz Myhill had to punch out a corner and then panic hit the City six yard box when Myhill parried Mohamed Diame's shot but Ibrahima Sonko, possibly still suffering Torres-based flashbacks, failed to clear as Rodallega closed in and Myhill had to barge through to land on it at the second attempt.
There were a fair few gaps in between the chances, and so much of the first half involved stoppages, midfield contention and wasted final balls. Eventually, Geovanni swiped a shot from long range which Kirkland allowed to fly over his bar in an effort to break the monotony, and Jason Scotland went on a penetrating run through City's softening centre but dragged his final shot wide.
Stephen Hunt, whose game consisted of his usual probing runs but with less end product, then made room for Geovanni to aim for the far post with his cross, but Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink flicked the chance just wide.
Another lengthy period of nothing followed, ended finally when Kilbane was the target for a Geovanni free kick but the Irishman just failed to connect. A goalless first half and a largely guileless one too.
The second period began in much the same manner. It was a poor spectacle between two teams whose priority was to not lose, as opposed to any positive action aimed at winning. Still, occasionally it did burst into life and Marney read a Wigan pass immaculately to intercept, hare goalwards and put a shot just wide via a deflection. Hunt swung in the corner and Zayatte headed it beyond the post.
Wigan's retaliation was quick, with Scotland sending Charles N'Zogbia down the left and his dangerous looking cross hit a stray body and looped into the air for Myhill to catch under pressure.
It wasn't exciting, but it was intriguing. Genuinely tough to imagine which team would score first, the game was developing further into a bolted-on goalless draw when, all of a sudden, City took the lead.
And so straightforward it was too. A corner was forced, Marney swerved it to the near post and Vennegoor of Hesselink won the header cleanly and powered in. Simple and vital. And also terrific to see the big Dutchman open his account in a game so important to the Tigers.
Barmby then twisted smartly to make room from a Vennegoor of Hesselink knockdown but scuffed his shot. This was the acting skipper's final contribution, as Ghilas came on for him and instantly, a second was notched.
Zayatte, reading the play like the central defender he normally is, stole a ball from basic Wigan possession and charged forward with no stray foot able to halt his progress to the byline. The cross avoided Vennegoor of Hesselink but was lashed home at the far post by Geovanni, who ran the length of the pitch, alone, to celebrate with the Tigers' side of the North Stand while everyone else in amber chose to go congratulate Zayatte for a fantastic assist.
City's third nearly came after good advantage was played, with Paul McShane tripped on the edge of the box but possession staying with City, and ultimately Marney saw his low drive held by Kirkland.
Zayatte was replaced by Seyi Olofinjana while Scott Sinclair came on for Wigan and promptly scored when heading in the rebound after Myhill could only beat out Jordi Gomez's shot.
It made for a nervy ending, which included a whopping five minutes of time added on and chance to have a pop at Marlon King when he came on as a Wigan sub, but City survived with some comfort.
Only a third Premier League win of the calendar year, but ahead of an international break it is a fantastic one. It gives Brown room to rethink the team's strategy while most of his players beetle off for duty with their nations, and by the time we reconvene at Fulham two weeks on Monday, there may be a new owner and new chairman, as the rumours persist about a £73m takeover, and more urgently than this, a place in the team for a certain Jimmy Bullard. This is good timing all round.
Hull City: Myhill, McShane, Sonko, Kilbane, Dawson, Zayatte (Olofinjana 81), Marney, Hunt, Geovanni, Barmby (Ghilas 64), Vennegoor of Hesselink (Mouyokolo 90). Subs not used: Duke, Halmosi, Cairney, Altidore.

If you listened to this week’s podcast then you heard me geeking out on advanced statistics. For instance, we talked how SF20/SA20 is a more accurate way to measure a player’s overall impact on the ice. Or how 5v5close can help coaches decide what players to trust in tight situations. Numbers like SF20/SA20, PDO, and 5v5close should help scouting departments as much as, if not more, than +/- rating, SOG, and TOI. However, you can’t measure all hockey skills by advanced statistics. Superstars and third line players are all important when it comes to situational hockey. Here are a few effective skill sets the Golden Knights will look to add in June.
Players with speed are important to competing teams for many reasons. The more obvious are odd-man rushes, chasing down pucks, and keeping defenders at bay. More importantly fast players create scoring chances some of which you can’t measure. Andrew Cogliano may not show up on the box score but his nightly impact is felt. Cogliano is one of the NHL’s faster players, and his ability to move the puck from the defensive to offensive zone is invaluable. The time it takes the former Wolverine to receive a pass and skate it to safety is much faster than the average defenseman. Cogliano may already be off the ice before Anaheim scores but his zone speed had as much impact as the shooter. Same goes for many second or third line speedsters. Whatever team creates the most scoring chances usually ends up winning.
Another underrated skill you can’t put a number on is puck protection. The Kings organization stress puck protection with Anze Kopitar leading the way. Sidney Crosby far and away protects better than anyone, it’s magical. If George McPhee can build around players protect the puck it would create more offensive chances. Not to mention squash out defensive chances. No matter what zone the puck is in, possession is the blueprint.
Lastly, a skill that is heavily overlooked is how goalies play the puck. Some goaltenders try not to make a play and some love touching the puck. Carey Price is the best for many reasons, but his puck handling doesn’t get mentioned. Price understands when his teammates are under attack, and helps out when he can. At times, Jesus Price will shoot the puck out of the zone under heavy attack. Other times Price carefully waits and won’t panic. It’s small plays from goaltenders that can help create chances. Obviously Price won’t be available, but Ben Bishop or Mike Smith could be. Both goaltenders are highly rated controlling the puck and could be future Golden Knights.
Those are three areas that even advanced statistics can’t calculate. If a team plays fast, disciplined, and creates chances they’ll win more than they lose. If VGK addresses these three skill sets than expect the lamp to be lit. 🚨

Did you know that the 438,000 international students who come to the UK to study every year deliver £20bn to the UK economy and £4.6bn to London alone?
That’s why British Council’s Study UK arm is on a mission to promote the UK as a great study destination for students around the world. But the political and socio-economic backdrop has shifted in recent years. Thanks to Brexit, spiralling costs of living, and stiff competition from universities in the US, Australia and Canada, the UK isn’t perceived to be the study destination it once was.
The objective was clear: to increase interest in the UK as a study destination by driving visitors from Study UK’s social channels to the Study UK website, where prospective students can find practical advice, insight and inspiration.

Csaba Sógor calls for a bigger budget for the Europe for Citizens programme
The impact of the Europe for Citizens programme has become more significant with the accession of the Eastern European countries. This is the reason for which it should have a larger budget – stated Csaba Sógor in the EP. The RMDSZ MEP pointed out that the programme aims to give answers to issues raised in Central and Eastern Europe, and the Western Balkans: historical reconciliation, processing the common past and building mutual trust.
The European Parliament discussed the situation of the rule of law in Romania
In the opinion of the Members of the European Parliament amending the Criminal Code of Romania via an emergency government ordinance violates the principles of rule of law. According to Csaba Sógor these changes are a huge setback in the progresses Romania made in the past decade.
Csaba Sógor in the EP on President Johannis’ statement regarding minorities
National minorities in Romania should be the ones to judge their situation themselves, not the head of state, who has made it clear several times, that he thinks of himself not as a German but as a Romanian of German descent – stated Csaba Sógor in the European Parliament during the plenary session of February.
Csaba Sógor: The EP finally talks about national minorities
The most recent, 2015 European Union report on the situation of fundamental rights finally has a chapter dedicated to the rights of minorities. In the opinion of Csaba Sógor the European Union was long overdue to consider facts regarding national minorities living within the EU borders. MEPs debated and voted on the report on Monday, December 13th, during the European Parliament’s Strasbourg plenary session.
The situation of disabled people discussed in Sfântu-Gheorghe / Sepsiszentgyörgy
Representatives of nongovernmental organizations dealing with the disabled urged for a better support of the work of social organizations and a shared setting of common goals. The specialists had a meeting in Sepsiszentgyörgy (Sfântu-Gheorghe), where they agreed to collaborate more in the future in order to improve the situation of people living with disabilities.
Skills Guarantee programme for the low skilled in the EU
At least seventy million European citizens lack adequate literacy skills who encounter difficulties when working with numbers and have poor digital skills. According to Csaba Sógor these people are the most vulnerable on the EU labour market, and their situation must be improved. The European Commission has presented a draft of its Skills Agenda for Europe in the summer, and the issue landed on the agenda of the European parliament on the 22nd of November. The MEPs had specific questions regarding the Commission's plan.
Sógor Csaba on the fight against corruption in Romania: the abuses ought also be seen by Europe
We cannot stand by and act like we can’t see the abuses of power in the fight against corruption in Romania – stated Sógor Csaba on Monday evening at the plenary session of the European Parliament. The Hungarian MEP from Transylvania showed the example of the Catholic School in Târgu-Mureș - the legality of establishment of which was recently questioned - saying that though the European public opinion often considers Romania’s actions against corruption as exemplary it ought to also see the abuses.
MEPs call for a biding mechanism on the respect for democracy and the rule of law
MEPs called upon the Commission to set up a binding mechanism that would guarantee the respect for democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in Member States. As a Hungarian from Romania Csaba Sógor stated: this may be the greatest practical contribution the European Parliament ever made in order to develop a framework for the European Union that would make the Copenhagen Criteria – including on securing the rights of national minorities – binding in case of Member States that already joined the EU.

Reading Dolan v. City of Tigard.
|Colloquium on Dolan: The Takings Clause Doctrine of the Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit
The Stories of Dolan
There are different ways to read the story of Dolan v. City of Tigard.(1) One is the plaintiff's story: the story of Mrs. Dolan, an elderly widow, who wishes to expand the family hardware store, but who is prevented from doing so by the city unless she agrees to give a portion of her land to the city to fulfill its master plan for a greenway (a park area) and bike path. According to the plaintiff, she is the victim of government extortion, forced to bear the burden of fulfilling a portion of the city's master plan at her private expense as a condition of making virtually any improvement to her property.
Another story is the city's: the owner of one of the largest chains of hardware stores in the state wishes to double the size of the original store and pave most of the remaining unimproved land. This will cause substantially increased storm water runoff on the already overburdened Fanno Creek and additional automobile traffic in already overcrowded downtown Tigard. The city proposes to have the property owner set aside land adjoining the creek to kill two birds with one stone: to increase the water carrying capacity of Fanno Creek and to contain a bike path to reduce the traffic congestion. According to the city, the plaintiff simply wishes to maximize her private profit while imposing costs and burdens on the city and its residents.
Which of these stories is true? There is no doubt that the City of Tigard had a master plan and that this master plan provided for a greenway and bike path along Fanno Creek. This master plan and its layout of the greenway and the bike path preceded by years Mrs. Dolan's plan and application to enlarge her hardware store. Moreover, it is true that most significant improvements to property abutting Fanno Creek automatically triggered the required dedication of land for the greenway and bike path as a condition for a building permit. In that sense, Mrs. Dolan's building permit application was merely a fortuitous event that triggered the waiting plan into execution--at Mrs. Dolan's expense. At the same time, there is no question that Mrs. Dolan's store expansion would increase the storm water runoff from her property into Fanno Creek by several orders of magnitude(2) and that Fanno Creek's storm water carrying capacity has been overwhelmed by development in downtown Tigard.(3) Similarly, Mrs. Dolan hopes to increase the traffic to her expanded store,(4) which would increase the traffic congestion in downtown Tigard (albeit marginally), an area that is already severely congested.(5) Indeed, it was increased density of development in downtown Tigard, with its associated frequent flooding of Fanno Creek and traffic congestion, that led the city to provide, among other things, for the greenway and bike path as partial antidotes to the problems of increased urbanization. Thus, in a very real sense, both stories are true. And that is one of the reasons why Dolan is such an interesting case. But is it significant? Does it change the law of takings?
Mrs. Dolan argued that the city's condition was an uncompensated taking of private property, building upon the Supreme Court's decision in Nollan v. California Coastal Commission.(6) There, California had required beachfront property owners to grant an easement to the public along the beach in front of their property as a condition for development of their property. The Court found this unconstitutional unless the owners were compensated, because the government condition did not bear a sufficient relationship to the state's legitimate public interest in mitigating any burdens associated with the development of beachfront property.(7) What sort of relationship would be sufficient was left murky in Nollan, because California's condition "utterly fail[ed] to further the end advanced as the justification for the [condition]" and lacked any "essential nexus" between the means used and the end to be achieved.8 Accordingly, the Court said, it did not need to decide whether California's proposed test of a reasonable relationship was the proper means/end relationship.(9) Nevertheless, at other places, the Court referred to a requirement that the condition "substantially advance" the purpose sought to be achieved.(10) And much of the scholarly commentary after Nollan related to Nollan's supposed revival of a Lochnerian hard-look at a government determination of a relationship between a legitimate public purpose and the means chosen to further that purpose.(11) It was this hard-look that Mrs. Dolan sought from the courts, believing that any master plan, like Tigard's, that contained conditions on building permits not tied to the particular development requested, would, like the California Coastal Commission's strategy for obtaining public beach access, be doomed to defeat under Nollan. The Oregon courts, however, read Nollan as did other courts, to impose only a requirement that there be an "essential nexus" between the condition exacted and the purpose to be achieved,(12) and that nexus was found to be met in Dolan. 13 But then the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
To Mrs. Dolan and her supporters, her case provided a test case of the conflict between government planning and individual property rights. Similarly, to the City of Tigard and the amici in its support, this case posed a threat to land use planning generally and the use of detailed master plans in particular. Potentially, the case could have major effects on land development and land use planning throughout the United States.
The Court Decision
In a five-to-four decision, the Supreme Court flinched.(14) It clearly found Mrs. Dolan's story more credible in the circumstances of the case, but it was not willing to rule categorically in her favor, remanding the case for further hearings.(15)
Chief Justice Rehnquist, writing for the majority, found that prevention of flooding and reduction of traffic congestion were both legitimate public purposes.(16) Additionally, the Court found that there was an "essential nexus" between these purposes and the city's conditions on Mrs. Dolan's building permit.(17) At this point, however, the Court said that it must determine whether "the degree of the exactions . . . bear[s] the required relationship to the projected impact of petitioner's . . . development."(18) In other words, while the city's condition related to the nature of the burdens caused by Mrs. Dolan's development, it was still necessary to determine whether the condition was properly tailored to the extent of the burden. This step, the Court said, was never reached in Nollan.(19) It might also be said that Nollan gave no hint that there would be a second step.
Students of constitutional law know that categorizing the required relationship between government ends and means is probably the most important factor in providing individual protection against government action. For example, classifications based on race trigger "strict scrutiny," which means that the required relationship must be a "necessary" one, or, as sometimes expressed, very closely tailored, with little or no over- or underinclusion.(20) On the other hand, economic classifications--at least in the context of the Equal Protection Clause--garner only "rational basis" scrutiny, where any rational relationship will satisfy the required scrutiny.(21) At its most extreme, rational basis scrutiny requires the person challenging government action to prove the negative, that there is no possible rational basis, rather than requiring the government to prove there is a rational basis.(22)
In determining how to characterize the required relationship between a government land use condition and the burdens caused by land development, the Court purported to look to state decisions for guidance. It rejected the equivalent of strict scrutiny, the "specifically and uniquely attributable" test,(23) allegedly used by Illinois. And it rejected the equivalent of the rational basis test, a "very generalized statement[ ] as to the necessary connection,"(24) attributed to Montana and New York. Rather the Court adopted "an intermediate position," which it termed the "rough proportionality" test.(25) The Court quoted the Nebraska Supreme Court's articulation of the test: "whether the requirement has some reasonable relationship or nexus to the use to which the property is being made or is merely being used as an excuse for taking property simply because at that particular moment the landowner is asking the city for some license or permit."(26) The Court's own explanation in the context of this case was limited to one sentence: "No precise mathematical calculation is required, but the city must make some sort of individualized determination that the required dedication is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed development."(27)
Applying this new test to Tigard's conditions, the Court found the relationship lacking. With respect to flooding, the Court suggested that keeping the floodplain free of development would be appropriate, "[b]ut the city demanded more--. . . it also wanted petitioner's property along Fanno Creek for its Greenway system. The city never said why a public greenway, as opposed to a private one, was required in the interest of flood control."(28) With respect to the bike path, the Court made the following analysis:
Dedications for streets, sidewalks, and other public ways are generally reasonable
exactions to avoid excessive congestion from a proposed property use.
But on the record before us, the city has not met its burden of demonstrating
that the additional number of vehicle and bicycle trips generated by the petitioner's
development reasonably relate to the city's requirement for a dedication
of the pedestrian/bicycle pathway easement. The city simply found that
the creation of the pathway "could offset some of the traffic demand . . . and
lessen the increase in traffic...

ISLAMABAD -- PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday called for the "immediate arrest" of Prime Minister Imran Khan's nephew Hassaan Niazi for his "involvement in the attack" by lawyers on Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) in Lahore earlier this week.
Aurangzeb also urged the Punjab government to allow PIC - which has been sealed - to resume its operations.
"They said that the police raided the residence of Imran Khan's nephew, but he was not found. There is no case registered against Hassaan Niazi despite his clear involvement in the incident. He must be arrested immediately. The incident must be thoroughly probed and the hospital unsealed," said Aurangzeb.
"People from all over the country would go to that hospital and now because of this incompetent, unqualified government, it lies sealed."
The PML-N leader lashed out at the PTI-led government for seeming "helpless" in the aftermath of the attack.
"We witnessed a complete collapse of the Punjab government. Those who used to challenge the writ of the state in 2014, who smashed open the heads of police officers at D-Chowk, we ask them: Where was the Punjab government that day? They were told that the lawyers were walking to the hospital that day."
Niazi, on the day of the attack, had taken to Twitter to "condemn [his] own self", while reacting to footage of an eyewitness describing the harassment of patients that took place, including his sister whose "[oxygen] mask was taken off and she died".
"After watching this clip I feel ashamed of myself. This is murder!!! My support and protest was limited to initiation of legal action against the concerned doctors. I only stand for peaceful protests," he wrote.
"It's [a] sad day and I condemn my own self for supporting this protest now."
The PML-N leader said that the government had "lied" in its written response to a set of questions submitted to the parliament.
"When they were asked what amount of money was recovered through the Asset Recovery Unit and what expenses were incurred in the...

The diet industry has conducted a ferocious war on fat over the past three decades, causing consumers to believe that reducing fat intake is the key to weight loss. It’s important to understand that not all fats are bad for you and that many “healthy, low-fat foods” can occasionally be detrimental to your general health.
It’s impossible to avoid running across an unending selection of dubious “healthy” goods if you stroll through almost any store. Even if they have the designation “fat-free” or “reduced fat,” they could end up being more harmful than helpful.
What the diet industry fails to disclose is that these low-fat meals are frequently loaded with preservatives, additives, and extra sugar designed to improve flavor and palatability rather than preserve freshness.
Added sugar can harm your health almost every other way, making it much worse than fat when it comes to weight.
Additionally, by reducing your fat consumption, you can eliminate the numerous potential health advantages good fats offer (listed below).
What is worse for your health, fat or sugar, is a common question among consumers.
EFFECTS OF SUGAR CONSUMPTION
- It has been demonstrated that sugar causes inflammation, which is the primary cause of most diseases. Why? Long-term maintenance of high levels of inflammation has been associated with a higher risk of developing several chronic illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
- Additionally, recent evidence indicates that eating a lot of added sugar may increase your risk of developing cancer. Because obesity increases your risk for several types of cancer, there is an indirect relationship between sugar and cancer risk.
- Sugar consumption has also been linked to a higher risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome, which can raise your chance of developing chronic diseases, as you may already be aware.
- Due to its high level of addiction, sugar can be quite difficult to give up completely. Why? When you eventually decide to reduce your sugar intake, sugar stimulates the release of dopamine. This neurotransmitter regulates the reward and pleasure regions of the brain, leading to a variety of withdrawal symptoms.
GOOD SUGARS (AND FATS)
Many nutritious foods, such as fruits, include natural sugars, but they also contain a variety of essential micronutrients and fiber, which can reduce the rate of absorption of sugar and counteract any potential health risks.
However, whereas additional sugar is commonly seen as bad, fat is an extremely important part of the diet and can provide a lengthy list of health benefits.
BENEFITS OF HEALTHY FAT
- Avocados, olive oil, and almonds are just a few examples of foods high in unsaturated fatty acids, which have been shown to improve heart health, lower cholesterol, and reduce inflammation.
- Additionally, some saturated fatty acids, like those found in coconut oil, have been linked to improved brain function and higher fat burning (if eaten according to a planned calorie intake).
- In addition, increasing your consumption of healthy fats helps slow stomach emptying, keeping you satisfied for longer to fend off cravings and accelerate weight reduction, even though this may seem paradoxical.
But not all fats are made equally.
THE NOT-SO-HEALTHY FATS
Nuts, seeds, and oils are a few examples of whole, unprocessed foods that include healthy fats. In contrast, overly processed foods contain fats that are not beneficial to your health. Trans fats, for instance, are mostly present in processed foods, and hydrogenated vegetable oils have been linked to various detrimental health issues, including diabetes and heart disease. Avoid them and opt for healthier sources of fat to improve your health.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF FAT VS SUGAR?
Making little changes to replace unhealthy habits with healthier ones is the healthiest and most long-lasting strategy to enhance your health. Sugar is very addicting and has been linked to several harmful health impacts. On the other side, healthy fats are an integral component of a diet and may help with weight loss, heart health, and inflammation reduction. It is, therefore, preferable to eliminate sugar from your diet and replace it with a high-fat diet.
If you want to become your healthiest self, opt for foods like:
- coconut oil
- extra-virgin olive oil
- grass-fed butter
- fatty fish
- nutrient-rich nuts and seeds
Avoid sugar from processed foods, juices with added sugar, energy drinks, sodas, and other unhealthy sources.
If you do need to add a hint of sweetness to your favorite baked goods or beverages, select natural sweeteners like:
- raw honey
These ingredients can add a little extra flavour, but they are also considerably healthier than simple, white, processed sugar because they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.


Aluminum is the earth’s most abundant metal. And with an aluminium supplier Malaysia and in other parts of the world, it is very much accessible. It is also recyclable and only consumes 5% of energy to complete the process. What is even more advantageous is that an aluminum plate Malaysia can be recycled many times over without any changes in its characteristics and quality.
For these reasons, it is logical for aluminum to be used in many applications. When availability is not a problem, a lot of things can be produced and done. No wonder aluminum has replaced steel in ways.
Aluminum is lighter than steel. This is why it has been used throughout the automotive and aerospace industries. Its minimum weight contributes to significant improvement in performance and characteristics of cars and airplanes.
Aerodynamics in cars, for instance, can be improved with the use of aluminum. Covering the underside of a car with a sheet of aluminum, which is likely to be made from aluminum plate Malaysia, can greatly reduce drag, which helps cars flow on the road. And that’s not all.
- There is significant improvement on fuel economy, because a vehicle is lighter when it is made of aluminum.
- CO2 emissions can be reduced when vehicle use phase energy consumption is also reduced, something that cars using aluminum intensive vehicle (AIV) technology can guarantee.
- Less corrosive than steel, an aluminum car is sure to last longer or have a longer useful life.
How does aluminum compare with steel?
- Cost-wise, it is more expensive than steel.
- It is more malleable and elastic, suitable for use for items that need to be shaped and molded.
- It is stronger than steel where spinning is concerned. Aluminum can be pushed to the limits without cracking or ripping.
- It doesn’t require any form of treatment to fight against corrosion. It is already corrosion resistant in itself.
- Aluminum is lighter and less dense than steel.
Aluminum can be mixed with other metals to improve its performance. To keep a car or airplane’s engine lightweight yet resistant to very high heat, mix aluminum with copper. This would also make an engine hard-wearing and long-lasting.
Food packaging requires a material that is easy to shape, which would be hard to achieve with pure aluminum, as it would be very soft. In this case, magnesium is thrown into the mix. The finished product would be easy to shape, although not as strong as the alloy used on car engines.
Combining aluminum with boron produces a cheaper material to carry electricity from the power plant to home, offices and other end points.
Using aluminum all by itself is not always possible, but by mixing other metals with aluminum its applications significantly increase. What is combined with it depends on the product that would be made.
Although aluminum is generally more expensive than steel, despite it being highly available, it remains to be an important metal and raw material.
If you need an abundant supply of it, get in touch with aluminium supplier Malaysia.

Participation in the Architectural Intervention Team "Urban Void"
Urban Void is an open group of architects and artists working on collective actions in the city of Athens. Since 1998 the group has performed 13 actions in the urban context involving the active participation of the public. The objective of the group’s actions is to bring into discussion the social and political dimensions of the parasitical, seemingly vacant urban sites. These events include walking, announcing texts and other simple everyday acts organized by the group on the sites of interest. Simply through their presence on the sites, Urban Void members invite the citizens to activate these neglected areas of the city. These empty fields are places in limbo undergoing changes and transformations, urban spaces characterized by ambiguity in respect to their identity, use or legal status. By temporarily inhabiting these spaces, Urban Void is testing the relationship of the sites to the citizens and the city life. Every action becomes an investigative journey through the urban landscape.
Regular Urban Void members are:
Eleni Tzirtzilaki, Nikos Kazeros, Christina Parakente, Zisis Kotionis, Phoebe Giannisi, Zafos Xagoraris, Lena Tziora, Hariklia Haris
URBAN VOID 01: "Spaces with Unrealized Rights", (1998)
Action in the empty space between Takis, Agioi Anargyroi and Lepeniotou streets, Psiri area.
Artists, video artists, architects, musicians, choreographers, and actors are involved.
Athens, Sunday 12 of April 1998, 9:00p.m
The original purpose of the Urban Void, while the team was still under formation, was to obstruct the building up of the district of Psyrri, which was gradually being transformed from an area of small-scale manufacturing and trade into a downtown ‘recreation center’. In this spirit, a manifold event–an open-air exhibition with the participation of architects and artists–was organized at an unbuilt site in the area. After this first action/exhibition and following a long period of collective discussions, the Urban Void began to shape not only as a team but also in terms of their activities, which evolved from multiform projects based on ‘individual work’ to uniform collective actions based on an ongoing ‘process’ of involvement in the city.
Our team participated in this action, with the 15’ video named “MEDIA MATERIAL”.
The video was then presented at the 16th Film and Video Festival Competition.
Empty space as an excerpt within a city could be a text whose components and forms are equivalent to traces of the past and their new relationship with the city can be the completion of a theatrical act. Trying to discover this experience we do an experiment using the camera. H.Muller's work “Despoiled Shore Medea Material Landscape with Argonauts”, consists of 3 essays linked together by fragments of collective memories. These passages are rendered as phrases of text or objects that are transferred from one scene-scene to another. That is, there continues to be a productive process in memory of the legend of Medea and Jason, who are not essentially persons, but materials reused to create a new landscape of text or space. The productive process of memory now passes to the viewer who becomes a reader of text space.

We still can’t believe that Doris Day, a legendary Hollywood actress, died in the early morning of Monday, May 13, at the age of 97. After her foundation confirmed the devastating news that she had passed away, many of Doris’ friends took to social media to remember the late star.
“The great Doris Day left us and took a piece of the sun with her. She brightens our lives and lived out her life with dignity. May she rest peacefully,” Kate Hudson‘s mom, Goldie Hawn, tweeted. William Shatner added, “Condolences to the family of Doris Day. She was the World’s Sweetheart and beloved by all. Que Será, Será!”
The great Doris Day left us and took a piece of the sun with her. She brighten our lives and lived out her life with dignity. May she rest peacefully. ❤
— Goldie Hawn (@goldiehawn) May 13, 2019
The outpouring of love didn’t stop there! Katie Couric mourned the Pillow Talk actress’ death on Twitter, saying she was “one of a kind.” Boy George tweeted Doris’ song “Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps” on Spotify and wrote, “God Bless Doris Day! x What a voice. What a legend. R.I.P.”
According to The Doris Day Animal Foundation, the Hollywood star “had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia, resulting in her death.” As soon as Paul McCartney‘s 47-year-old daughter, Stella McCartney, found out the news she immediately shared her condolences online.
“The one, the only, the woman who inspired so much of what I do … Doris Day I love you, my calamity Jane,” the designer tweeted. “An iconic woman who I was hugely honored to meet and share precious moments with. Rest in peace x.”

It seemed like almost every great star in Hollywood was impacted by Doris’ amazing personality. Musician Tony Bennett said he and wife Susan Crow are taking the devastating news pretty hard, too. “Susan and I are saddened to hear of Doris Day’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to us and a lovely and very talented lady,” he tweeted. “We will miss her beautiful smile and it was such a thrill to appear on The Doris Day Show back in 1970.”

Development of electroactive materials with different morphologies for biological applications
Electroactive materials influence on biological response of specific cells such as fibroblast and osteoblast are already known. In the present work, the development of electroactive materials with different morphologies will be focused. Novel architectures – inks, spheres, films and scaffolds – will be performed as active substrates to proliferation and differentiation cell assays. Thus, the acquired knowledge will be transferred to others biological entities: bacteria. A gram-negative and a gram-positive strain will be used to evaluate the capability of these materials to promote or inhibit biofilm formation.

TfL has today (Wednesday, June 1) launched a six week consultation on the future of the capital’s bus services.
As many as 78 out of 620 bus routes could be affected under the new proposals.
Deputy mayor for transport, Seb Dance, said: “No one wants to see reductions to our bus network, but TfL is having to consider these changes because of the savings demanded by the government as part of the emergency funding deals during the pandemic.”
As part of the deal TfL says it has been required to reduce operating expenditure and the extent of the bus network by 4% by 2024/25.
In total the government has provided £5bn of funding to TfL since the start of the Covid-19 crisis.
“TfL has looked carefully at the routes affected in order to reduce the impact on passengers as much as possible,” Seb Dance added.
“If TfL is to avoid further cuts which would damage our city’s economic recovery from this pandemic, the government must do the right thing and come forward with a long term funding deal to support the capital’s public transport – as governments of almost all other major global cities do.”
TfL is proposing to axe the following bus routes
- 4: Archway-Blackfriars
- 11: Fulham Broadway - Liverpool Street
- 12: Oxford Circus Station - Dulwich Library
- 14: Russell Square - Putney Heath
- 16: Cricklewood Bus Garage - Victoria
- 24: Hampstead Heath - Pimlico, Grosevnor Road
- 31: Camden Town - White City Bus Station
- 45: Elephant & Castle, Newington Causeway - Clapham Park
- 72: East Acton - Hammersmith Bridge North Side (terminus whilst Hammersmith Bridge is closed, actual terminus is Roehampton, Bessborough Road)
- 74: Baker Street Station - Puntey High Street
- 78: Shoreditch High Street Station - Nunhead, St Mary’s Road
- 242: Homerton University Hospital - Aldgate
- 349: Ponders End Bus Garage - Stamford Hill, Rookwood Road
- 521: Waterloo Station - London Bridge Bus Station
- C3: Earl’s Court, Tesco - Clapham Junction
- D7: Poplar, All Saints Church and DLR - Mile End Station
In a letter to the Prime Minister, the mayor of London Sadiq Khan wrote: “Two weeks ago when we joined the ceremonial opening of the Elizabeth line by Her Majesty the Queen, I was proud of the culmination of decades of collaborative work between successive London and central governments.
“Two weeks later, however, Transport for London (TfL) has been forced into launching a consultation on something that none of us should be proud of: cuts to London’s iconic bus network.”
Geoff Hobbs, director of public transport service planning at TfL, said: “Significant changes in how people use transport in central and inner London mean that – as we work to meet the requirements of our funding agreement with Government – the proposals we are consulting on have been designed to minimise the impact on customers and ensure that the majority still have a direct bus for their journey.
“Adapting the capital’s bus service – such a significant part of our transport network – is what we have always done to ensure it keeps up with changing needs of Londoners.
“The flexible nature of the bus network means we can respond to changes in demand, both now and in the future.
“We know that these plans will have some impact on some of our customers, but we are trying very hard to ensure that we can still have the right level of service where it is needed and can deliver our long-term positive vision for the bus network.”
The consultation closes on July 12 at 11.59pm. You can have your say here.
