The buzz is biotech — at least as far as initial public offerings are concerned in the fourth quarter.
"Despite a rather lackluster performance of the stock market these last couple of months, biotech is expecting a big fourth quarter," said Steven Burrill, chief executive of Burrill & Co., a San Francisco merchant bank specializing in companies involved in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and other life sciences.
"We can expect to see the first IPO take flight in mid-October and we are sticking with our prediction ... of at least a dozen IPOs getting done before the end of the year."
Of the 50 IPO filings made during the third quarter, more than a quarter, 14, were in the biotech/pharmaceutical sector, according to the IPO site 123jump.com.
Some of the filings were delayed because of market conditions as the pharmaceutical index fell back and was down 7 percent across the board during the quarter. But now, the sector is picking up and IPOs are expected to move along quickly through the end of the year.
Acusphere , which specializes in drug delivery technology, launched Oct. 8 and on Oct. 15 pricing is expected for Advancis Pharmaceutical Corp., which is slated to bring 6 million shares to market at a range of $12 to $14.
The drugmaker said in its Securities and Exchange Commission filing that underwriters Lehman Brothers and Pacific Growth Equities have an option to buy an additional 900,000 shares.
Advancis, which is based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, said it intends to use proceeds for research and development. It will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "AVNC".
The following week, another biotech company, Aderis Pharmaceuticals Inc., is scheduled to sell 6.5 million shares at a price between $11 and $13.
The Hopkinton, Massachusetts-based company said the underwriters, led by Lehman Brothers, will have the option to buy 975,000 more shares to cover over-allotments, according to the SEC filing.
Aderis, a developer of drugs to treat central nervous system, cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions, has applied to list its shares on Nasdaq under the symbol "ADPX".
Aderis said it hoped to raise as much as $78 million from the IPO, with a significant portion of the proceeds going to research and development.
Also expected later in October are NitroMed Inc. which is offering 6 million shares for $11 to $13 each. The Bedford, Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical company has applied for a Nasdaq listing under the symbol "NTMD" with the initial public stock offering to be handled by Deutsche Bank Securities, J.P. Morgan and Pacific Growth Equities.
According to Burrill's Biotech Index, the industry turned in a strong performance on Wall Street in July, rising 14 percent. It slipped 2 percent in August and was a fraction lower in September. However, it is up 52 percent year to date.
"Many biotech firms have seen their values increase by more than 50 percent this year, but investors broadly have held back their interest in new issues with the general market trends being less attractive," Burrill said.
But with Food and Drug Administration approvals expected for several companies' drugs and products, he said he believes biotech IPOs will perform well.
"In addition to the long-awaited reopening of the IPO window, it's likely that the final quarter of the year will bring yet more product approvals, more successes in the clinic and more proof of concept ... all of which will infuse even greater value into the industry."
In its quarterly review of the biotech industry, investment house SG Cowen noted two previous "biotech bubbles" in 1995-96 and 1999-2000.
"Biotech does hold the promise of blockbusters ... we believe that quietly, but surely, the bull has returned," SG Cowen analysts wrote.

33125 White Oak Rd. #19, Corvallis, Oregon 97333.
As a reader of Gas Engine Magazine for a number of years, I
thought it was time I contributed something. These are photos of
some of my projects.
In the past three years I have been working on the Crofton Bug.
It is complete now, as is the Planet Jr. tractor. My present
project is the Cushman Cub, Model R 14, r.p.m. 750, 2 HP, for which
I need a connecting rod. It's such a small item but difficult
to find in this area. Maybe some of you readers could help.
I've tried some of your ads but no luck, hope someone can
I live in a mobile court and I don't have much room to store
my goodies, so I just have the fun of restoring them and then I
have to sell one before I can get another.
I think you have a great magazine and I look forward to it each

Ratings and Reviews
A well-preserved classic
Having just beaten the Steam version weeks before this was put up on the App Store, I was more than willing to play it again on the go. I keep seeing complaints about excessive ads but I have no idea what they're talking about; I eventually did pay to remove the ads just to show that Ristar's the kind of thing I'd be willing to spend money on, but that was after beating the game twice and failing Boss Rush a few times. For me they only showed up if I saved, and well, they gotta show up sometime. Sound quality and frame rate are good, and the only issue I have is the phone controls, though there's not much you can do about that.
Abysmal Performance
This game runs abysmally on my iPod 5, iPad 3, and iPhone 5C, with an abundance of slowdown, frame-tearing, and audio-popping. I already have this game on my Nintendo Wii, but the image just isn't as sharp as it would be through an HDMI signal. I'm 100% certain that the A8 chip in the Apple TV is more than enough to properly run this at a stable 60fps.
Edit: Had to reduce this from 3-star to 2-star. I decommissioned my iPhone 5C and made a 3-generation leap to the iPhone SE, but even jumping from the A6 to the A9, the game still suffers from stuttering, frame-tearing, and audio-popping. It has become abundantly clear to me that the emulation software in Sega Forever is inferior to that of unofficial Genesis emulators for Android/Windows, and will run poorly on the A8 chip in the Apple TV (4th-gen) and even the A11 Bionic chip in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Sega Forever is a 2016 ARM-architecture Genesis emulator being outclassed by the Nintendo Wii's "Virtual Console"—a 2007 PowerPC-architecture Genesis emulator. Nintendo has proven with the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch that ARM devices can run stable, accurate emulation of older consoles, making Sega Forever even more insulting.
I suggest that Sega either patch each and every one of these games to be of the same standard as the 3D Classics line for Nintendo 3DS, or abandon the Sega Forever project altogether.
Neat concept stretched a bit too far
Ristar is close kin to Sonic; not surprising as all each was developed from one of several concepts that were considered to launch a mascot platformer. Speed and rolling won out as the central game in Sega's marketing, but the grapple mechanic would live on in Ristar, which runs on the same engine as Sonic and likewise pushes the Genesis color pallet hard to deliver gorgeous graphics.
Also like Sonic, though, Ristar demands a lot of a very limited moveset. Grappling is most of what Ristar does, and as the game goes on, there aren't too many changes in the experience besides increased challenge. Sadly some of the challenge is also due to old-fashioned, 8-direction controls, so you can't always hit your target unless Ristar is in the right spot. At least the addition of save and rewind features make it more manageable.
Catchy music, too.

From city of San Marcos spokesperson Trey Hatt:
San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department is bringing Party in Your Park to Dunbar Park, 801 W. MLK Drive, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21.
Party in Your Park is a family-friendly event that is bringing positive attention to our city's neighborhood parks four times a year. Residents are invited to enjoy the summer night at one of the city's best parks before school starts again the following Monday. The action-packed event is free to the public and aims to encourage outdoor activity and use of local parks.
This rotating event visits a different park every three months; past locations include Franklin Square Park, Conway Park, and Paul Pena Park. However, due to its great amenities, size and location, Dunbar Park will have the honor of hosting our "Back-to-School" version every August.
The special event will be the only of the series to show a full-length movie, "Little Big League," beginning at 8 p.m. "Little Big League" is a 1994 family baseball film about a 12-year-old who suddenly becomes the owner and manager of the Minnesota Twins baseball team. In addition to the movie, there will also be a basketball knock-out contest on the full size court, Gaga Ball, 9 Square in the Air, giant Jenga, yard games, healthy snacks, music and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or folding chairs to sit on.
The next Party in Your Park events are planned for Nov. 13 at Mill Street Park and Feb. 19, 2016 at El Camino Real Park. Party in Your Park would not be possible without the support from the community and our generous sponsor Grande Communications. Volunteers make a huge impact at our events and we are always looking for more! If you are interested in being a sponsor, volunteering with us, or need more information about this event contact Victoria Van de Ryt, Youth Services Coordinator, at 512-393-8249.

Drugs commonly is used to treat conditions such as eye problems. There are remedies only for children. Admittedly, once the generic remedy is available, the cost of both the original branded product and the generic remedy are significantly lowered.

Do Successful People Give or Sell?
Over at his My Law License blog, my friend and co-defendant Brian Tannebaum adeptly summarized a thought to which I've devoted far too many words without ever getting to the point. Specifically, Brian asserts:
Successful people give away advice on success, unsuccessful people sell it.
Initially, I thought that I could refute Brian's comment by referencing successful people who command huge speaking fees. But in doing some research, I discovered that the pinnacle of speaking engagements – the ever-inspiring TED Talks don't pay their speakers. Score one for Brian!
Of course, in the work-a-day world, success and revenue-producing activities aren't always mutually exclusive. There are examples of successful lawyers who generate income from CLE's and programs and seminars (like Bryan Garner, whose legal writing seminars were reviewed here or the Gerry Spence Trial College or Gardner Bankruptcy Bootcamp — programs which are well reputed though I can't vouch for them personally since I've never taken them or reviewed the materials. I even generate revenue, albeit modest, from this blog and my books – not enough to get rich or retire on for sure, but enough to make the time away from my practice that I spend on this blog worthwhile. After all, because I don't coach or sell product, and because this blog (in contrast to this one) is entirely unrelated to my day job as an energy lawyer, it doesn't generate any business for my practice.
Still, I get what Brian is saying. These days, there's too much information that colleagues once freely shared or passed down through the ages in the interest of teaching new lawyers and improving the quality of legal services that many consultants have commoditized and repackaged solely for profit. But putting a price tag on something free doesn't always improve the value. To the contrary, a dollar sign can also cheapen a noble act like mentoring motivated by generosity and professional commitment by converting it into a commodity that can be bought and sold.
Maybe I'm just a nostalgic lawyer clinging to an idealistic vision of how our legal profession "used to be." Still, aren't the gurus who give away nothing the ones who are really out of synch with the times? After all, at least two of the 21st century's biggest entrepreneurial success stories – Facebook and Google – give away quite a bit (as do the TED speakers I mentioned earlier) though of course, those companies make it up on the back end even as they provide a useful product. Even so, these companies remind us that charging for every little crumb of information isn't what the cool kids do.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of solo lawyers who generously share their practice experience on blogs, or listserves or face to face without a fee – and I'll continue to do so as well by ensuring a stock of FREE materials at my site as well (the only time I absolutely don't do free is when someone else earns money off of it).
So, what do you think? Is Brian's dichotomy accurate? Or does he have it backwards? Is there a middle ground – for example, are there certain types of programs or services that justifiably command a fee, and other types that ought to pay you to show up? Post your comments below.

What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing systems are a popular choice among Akron, Ohio, commercial roofers. It features long, narrow panels that are oriented from the gutter to the ridge. This roofing system is used for steep-sloped and low-sloped roofs. At Campopiano Roofing, we install the panels on-site using a roll-forming machine and coils of metal sheet, ensuring a fully customized fit.
What Are the Benefits of Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
This type of metal roofing system is widely used because of the following features:
- Low maintenance. The fasteners are concealed and only exposed at isolated locations. This feature allows for less maintenance.
- Customized. Standing seam metal roofing is specifically formed to match the size of the structure. This simple process of installation creates continuous panels for the roof section, which results in a more precise fit for your Akron commercial roofing.
- Durability. Sheet metal roofing is known to last for more than 40 years and can withstand different weather conditions. Campopiano Roofing also uses thicker gauge steel to produce its roofing products.
- Versatility. This type of roofing system comes in a wide variety of colors that will match or complement the façade of your commercial property.
- Leak prevention. Because the long panels of metal sheet are continuous, potential weak spots and entry points for leaks can be avoided.
Where Can You Get the Best Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
For steep-sloped commercial roofs, standing seam metal roofing can provide energy efficiency, high levels of protection from the elements, versatility, and precise fit for each unique roof section. However, proper installation is needed to get the most out of your metal roofing.
That's why Campopiano Roofing uses state-of-the-art metal-forming equipment to give your Cleveland or Akron commercial establishment top-quality metal roofing. For added protection, we collaborated with local manufacturers to provide up to 20 years of labor and material warranties. Campopiano Roofing also specializes in architectural trim such as copings, fascia, cornices, and soffits to give your home or establishment even more curb appeal.

Tammy Abraham today vowed the time has come to establish himself as an England regular.
The 22-year-old joined up with Gareth Southgate's squad at St George's Park yesterday after scoring his ninth goal in 11 games for Chelsea as the Blues eased to a 4-1 win over Southampton.
Abraham's call-up for the forthcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria comes almost two years after his only previous senior appearances in friendlies against Germany and Spain in November 2017.
Abraham lasted an hour of the first game and just 15 minutes of the second as two experimental Southgate sides earned successive goalless draws.
He was on loan at Swansea at the time but after a subsequent spell at Aston Villa last term – where he scored 25 goals in a promotion-winning season – Abraham believes is has matured to seize any opportunity given to him over the next seven days.
"Back then in 2017, it was all about me being young," he told Standard Sport.
"It was a good experience, for me. So, to be going back now, I had my experiences out on loan, I'm back and now it's time to stay here.
"For me, it's a massive achievement [to be in the squad]. I'm clearly doing something right for my club to get attention from Gareth Southgate. It's about going out there, helping the team as much as possible. And then coming back in and doing the same job for my team."
Abraham remains eligible to play for Nigeria – the country of his father's birth – having not played a competitive senior game for England in his career to date.
Abraham's father is close friends with president of the Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, and manager Gernot Rohr had made little secret of his desire to convince the striker to switch allegiances.
Abraham insisted the subject had not come up during his initial discussions with Southgate, although in his mind that debate now appears to be settled once and for all.
"I haven't spoken to him about that," said Abraham. "I'm a player growing up in England, playing in the Premier League. My ambitions were always to play for England. Obviously it's nice to be wanted by two nations, two nations that I love. But my main focus is England."

Two years on from the Achmea ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the arbitration community is still divided over its impact and the path forward is uncertain. With the termination of intra-EU bilateral investment treaties imminent, the need for a solution is more pressing than ever.
No proposal has garnered more attention or controversy than the EU's proposal for a permanent multilateral investment court.
In our cover feature, Shearman & Sterling senior associate Paschalis Paschalidis, a former ECJ référendaire, says the time has come to for the arbitration community to stop lamenting what has passed and seize the opportunity to push for something bold and new. The investment court, he argues, is "a 21st century solution to a 21st century challenge".
One treaty that remains very much in force is the investment agreement of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). In this issue, Hamid Gharavi explains how French arbitration law and courts enable parties bringing claims under the treaty to avoid denial of justice caused by respondent states, and the OIC itself, refusing to appoint an arbitrator.
Our news section is dominated by the decision by the Hague Court of Appeal that the former majority shareholders in Yukos have labelled a "victory for the rule of law" – after it reinstated three Energy Charter Treaty awards worth US$50 billion against Russia.
Elsewhere, Akin Gump partner Justin Williams and counsel Jenny Arlington discuss cybersecurity in arbitration, providing practical tips for practitioners and users based on recent initiatives.
Hong Kong's secretary for justice Teresa Cheng SC looks at whether proposals for ISDS reform can rebuild legitimacy in the process, while Australian arbitrator Zachary Douglas QC warns that the arbitration community should get its own house in order before tackling external criticism.

Task batching, grouping, batching, batch processing–hey, it doesn't matter what you call it. It's crazy productive!
|How I Use Task Batching to Rock My To-Do List|
I am a work-from-home mom. Let's rephrase that. I'm a never-sleeps-because-she-stays-up-all-night-catching-up-on-the-work-she-couldn't-do-around-a-tiny-distraction-monster mom. Glamorous, no?
In all honesty, it's pretty much the greatest job I can imagine, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else right now. I absolutely love writing and blogging from home.
But sometime last month, I discovered I felt worn out by early afternoon, even though I had nothing to show for the day. In fact, I was getting less done than when I casually blogged for fun.
What was keeping me so busy, yet so unproductive?
"Busy" Is Not the Same as "Productive"
Before I started task batching, my typical day sent me running from one unfinished task to the next. I was juggling, or "multi-tasking" as people sometimes call it.
Multi-tasking is a myth in my world. I would start a task, get interrupted, try to start again, get all ready to accomplish something only to be interrupted again! Not only was I not getting anything done, I was exhausted! There's nothing more frustrating that seeing a line of unaccomplished bullets that you worked on all day.
So, I took a hard look at my routine and discovered 2 things:
- Most of my time was wasted switching gears (i.e. putting my brain in the right mode for parenting, writing, taking photos, editing, brainstorming, journaling, etc.).
- My windows of uninterrupted work time only lasted about 30 minutes.
I knew that if I was going to get more done, I had to be ultra productive in those 30 minute windows. Task batching is how I've made that happen.
What's Task Batching, Anyway?
Years ago people were all about multi-tasking. Then a bunch of scientists (science people who get together to science some science) told us it's actually task switching, and it's uber bad for us. Our brains need time to catch up when we move from tasks to task. Once we're in a certain mode, it's best to focus on that mode until the task is done. Switching is what makes us tired and unproductive, not the tasks themselves.
One of my favorite books about personal productivity is Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy. If you've ever procrastinated yourself into a corner, you need this book! I'm not usually impressed by anti-procrastination books since they basically say, "Just get it done."
This book goes much further by suggesting habits and techniques for maximizing your time (everything from planning to execution).
Eat That Frog! says,
It's estimated that the tendency to start and stop a task–to pick it up, put it down, and come back to it–can increase the time necessary to complete the task by as much as 500 percent.
In an attempt to cut down on the "pick it up, put it down" time, I've been grouping similar tasks together (a.k.a. batching or batch processing). Task batching allows your brain to focus on one type of task at a time. For example, email correspondence and answering blog posts call for similar mindsets. I group them together without losing my work flow.
Here's what that looks like:
Monday- Write two blog posts
Tuesday- Take photos for two blog posts
Wednesday- Edit photos for two blog posts, take care of administrative tasks
Thursday- Errands, catch up on home tasks
Friday- Creative writing, all day
Saturday- Finish leftover photo editing, and weekend errands
Sunday- Home, church, light administrative work in the afternoon
*Pre-planning is key here! If you wait to group tasks until it's time to work, you'll end up in a reaction pattern again.
Make Task Batching Work For You
Make a list of all the tasks you need to accomplish in a typical week. Computer tasks, house work, research, phone calls, emails, design work, fitness…basically, whatever your day entails.
The list doesn't have to be strictly work related. Try to imagine all the things in your life that need your time and attention. In my case, work-at-home mom, I know a huge portion of my day is devoted to parenting. Let's face it, scheduling parenting is like asking the weather not to change! I might not always be able to guard against distractions, but I can take the time to group snack, story, and snuggles. I find my son is usually happy to play solo while I work as long as I've tended to his needs first.
Group tasks logically by their function or locations. I try to lump computer work together on the same days because if I leave the computer, I'ma nota comin' back! I combine photos and video because lighting/props are a factor. It's much more efficient to take a group of photos all at once. I also schedule difficult tasks in the morning because I'm less likely to get interrupted then.
Create Focus
I thrive on a routine. I use scheduled time blocks for my work and assign a focus to each window (see my handy dandy table above). You can split your days into time segments however you work best. I like to imagine my days in an a.m./p.m. split. I can either assign the same task to both segments (an all day focus) or give a different focus to each half of the day.
For example, I've devoted Mondays completely to drafting blog posts. I split Wednesday between graphics (a.m.) and administrative work in the afternoon. I assigned each focus twice a week so I have a backup in case life happens.
I sometimes have to move my focus to another day, but this schedule gives me a place to start my week.
So, we have time windows with a focus. What now? How to we make sure we're effective within those time windows?
The Pomodoro Technique
I first learned about the Pomodoro technique on Michael Hyatt's website, but you can get it from the source HERE. I won't go into too much detail here, but the idea is simple. It requires you to focus intensely on a single task at a time.
1 Pomodoro= 25 minutes + 5 minute break
You set a timer for 25 minutes, turn off distractions, and focus on that single task for a solid 25 minutes. When the timer goes off, take a 5 minute break. Some tasks may take 2 or 3 (or more) Pomodoros to achieve.
The time block works great for me. The timer usually goes off just as my attention begins to wander or my son needs something.
** Turn off distractions! No phone, no email, no social media. If you're like me and work with a tiny distraction monster at home, try to create a suitable independent activity before you start a Pomodoro.
It takes me roughly 2 Pomodoros to write the copy of a blog post. So even with breaks and Mommy time, I can easily write two or three posts in a day.
Sanity Restored!
Now that I've been using the technique for a few weeks, I can honestly tell you it's life changing! I can accomplish more without sacrificing time with the people I'm working so hard for.

The history
Made for centuries in the rugged region of northwest Portugal's Douro Valley, Port is a fortified wine that leans heavily on the sweeter spectrum and comes in a variety of styles ranging from the youthful Ruby Port, to aged Tawnies, and Late-Bottled Vintage Ports down to the distinguished character of Vintage Port.
Port wine is typically associated with Portugal, but really owes at least part of its invention to England as a direct by-product of the Brits battling France through the 17th and 18th centuries. The English boycotted French wine in the late 17th century as a result of their ongoing conflict and started sourcing their red wine from Portugal, just around the bend from Bordeaux. They started adding a wee bit of brandy to the still red wine to help sustain it during the voyage back to England. The brandy addition served to give the fragile still wine the fortitude to make the long trip on a rocking boat without spoiling. It also made the wine much sweeter when it was added early enough to halt fermentation and leave residual sugar on the higher end. As a result, Ports have a reputation for being higher in alcohol, noticeably sweeter, with more body and palate density than other still wines. Fans of rich cheese and decadent desserts appreciate Ports pairing versatility and uncanny ability to even function as dessert itself.
How it's made
Port starts off as other still wine does but changes during fermentation. When the alcohol level reaches about 7%, the young wine is fortified with brandy to bring the fermentation process to a sudden stop, while capturing the fruit nuances of the young wine and preventing the grape sugars to continue their classic conversion to alcohol. The young Port may be blended with other Port and aged either in the bottle or in the cask to find the right palate appeal.

It stands with promise..the promise that it will get the attention it needs. It's only a promise, little work goes on to give Washburn's Sioux Steamboat the face lift she needs. The Sioux Steamboat stands on the banks of the Missouri River where a vibrant steamboat trade existed until the state built a bridge over the Missouri in 1971.
Even now, at least one farmer has land on an island in the Missouri and has to cross back and forth to tend to his crops. I understand that since there is no more steamboat trade, he traverses the river in the winter on the ice, shuttling supplies and harvested crops back and forth.
Below the water lies at least one wrecked steamboat, and an entire fort. The river shifted some in the years since the early 1900's, and more changes occurred when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the river at several locations.
So, for now, as a reminder of what lies below, the Sioux stands above, waiting for a fresh coat of paint.

Chad Future and Golden reveal English remix of VIXX's "Error"
On November 12th, Chad Future released his remixed English rendition of VIXX's recent song "Error" featuring Golden.
Set in a simple, dimly lit environment, the video shows Chad Future and Golden passionately singing and rapping into their microphones. This collaboration truly is a work of art as they consistently exhibit the song's raw, heartfelt emotions while maintaining a cool demeanor. In addition, the duo manages to capture VIXX's music video outfit styles perfectly, as they are both dressed in similar leather rocker garments, completed with upstyled hair and spiked jewelry. The English lyrics are posted in the video's description, for those who want to follow along.
This isn't Chad Future's only English K-pop cover, as he has previously sung EXO's "Wolf," "Overdose," and B.A.P's "ONE SHOT." He has also collaborated with NU'EST's Aron.

Judge hears from frustrated voters about ID law
Commonwealth Court judge must rule by Tuesday
A judge weighing whether to stop a new Pennsylvania law requiring voters to show photo identification will weigh testimony from people who told of making numerous trips to driver license centers to confront clerks confused by complicated ID requirements.
The law's opponents hope Thursday's testimony persuades Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson that the state is not making photo IDs easy to access, or that there is a danger of someone losing the ability to vote.
The state Supreme Court-ordered hearing is the latest chapter in a legal challenge to the 6-month-old law. Simpson has until Tuesday to rule.
State officials said the number of people who need an ID to vote is small and that a 3-day-old ID process meets the Supreme Court's directions.

Whether you are looking forward to a condo project in its pre-construction phase or resale phase, you should anticipate various differences in this form of residence. Being an owner of a condo unit comes with unique advantages that you could not get when compared to a traditional single family home ownership. If you are the type of person who likes to cut the lawn grass and plant flowers over the weekend, then you might be better off owning a traditional house. Most of us don't have the time and energy to perform the house chores these days, let alone maintaining an entire lawn or garden. This is the reason; most people in Ontario now prefer this alternative to single-family home residence, because they can get away with various responsibilities and duties.
The developer of a condominium project goes through different method of registration compared to that of conventional multi-tenant buildings. From rooftop gardens to basement gyms, condo dwellers can avail a diverse range of facilities without having to pay huge amount of money. Once you pay a particular amount of monthly fee to the condominium association, all of the tasks associated with the repair and maintenance of the building would be looked after by the staff members of the management team – which is elected by the residents of the complex. If you want to invest your money in a new condo project, then you should definitely check out Linx Condos Toronto now.
As soon as you hear the word "condo" you might imagine a high-rise building in your head, but condos actually come in different shapes and sizes depending upon the local residential needs. If your condo is still under the planning stage, then you should get detailed information from your real estate agent about its projected value in the market.

Twyla Hansen (1949 -)
With my arms raised in a vee,
I gather the heavens and bring
my hands down slow together,
press palms and bow my head.
I try to forget the suffering,
the wars, the ravage of land
that threatens songbirds,
butterflies, and pollinators.
The ghosts of their wings flutter
past my closed eyes as I breathe
the spirit of seasons, the stirrings
in soil, trees moving with sap.
With my third eye, I conjure
the red fox, its healthy tail, recount
the good of this world, the farmer
tending her tomatoes, the beans
dazzled green al dente in butter,
salt and pepper, cows munching
on grass. The orb of sun-gold
from which all bounty flows.

That's the first thing you should keep in mind before you start your search. The first thing you should know in finding a cheap diamond ring is the current price of the diamond ring in the market. You can determine the current price by asking employees in stores and shops that sell jewellry.
When you ask the price, make sure that you also noted carat, clarity, and color. Remember that no one is the same diamond. Their value is not fixed. It depends on these properties. Clarity refers to the imperfections which are in stone, shining brilliance and clarity of gems. If you want to buy the diamond ring then you can visit https://shanespawnshop.com.
Image Source: Google
Colors on the other hand, as the name, refers to the color of the diamond. There is a very clear diamond while others have a yellow tint. The more vivid the color, the more expensive the diamond ring. Rust is most known for his property refers to the size and weight of the diamond.
Another way to find cheap diamond rings is to look out for the big sales at jewellry stores. Often, they will do great sales before the Christmas season to get rid of their old stock. Of course, the more discount you will get here is not as big as you would get at thrift stores.

The above question roams in so many minds especially when people have to start the mortgaging process. If it is answered simply "Yes" then you may not feel convinced as such things require few logics to support the statement. First of all, ask yourself that Am I aware of the working process of mortgage advisers in Northampton? This is for all who are residents of Northampton whereas people from other towns should consider the expertise of advisers of their own town. Well, if you are not aware then make sure to read this blog until the last word because it is important for finding a logical answer to your question.
Advisers hold Expertise!
There is always a difference in results when work is done by an expert as compared to a dabbler. The certified mortgage advisers are trustworthy persons because, in case of any misappropriation, their certificates can be cancelled. This fact makes it quite feasible that people should trust the advisers for processing their loan applications or other mortgaging work. The expertise of such persons makes them worthy to rely on. So this is the first logical answer to the question mentioned above.
Advisers create Ease for Clients!
Yes, they do. The advisers basically treat their clients in a very honourable way and guide them what solution can pull them up from the crisis. So, it doesn't matter how badly you are stuck into the financial crisis, asking advice from an expert person may give you a light to survive with the same business or you may find other feasible solutions. More on, when it comes about the approval of mortgage application, the advice of professional brokers work in this scenario too. So, you are definitely good to go for advice rather going through worst experiences.
Step-by-Step Guidance!
This is something that makes a difference. The chances of disapproval of loan application are minimised when an applicant gets step-by-step guidance from a professional person. So, if you want the approval of the loan, try to trust a mortgage adviser in your town whose reputation is also good. The best thing is that advisers help their clients making an attractive proposal for increasing the chances of acceptance. Such things cannot be done by a person who does not know the process of submitting a loan application.
95% Chances for the Approval of Loan!
Yes, the chances of loan approval are really high once the clients put their trust on advisers. On the other side, the chances for the approval of loan are quite low when an applicant handles the mortgaging process himself. So, all these logical reasons go in the favour of advisers.

Champagnes for Valentine's Day
If you take Valentine's Day seriously, it has to include Champagne for a loved one. Here are three that will make the right statement.
Romantic - Pink Fizz: Lanson Rosé NV (The Co-op)
Yes it's pink and it's got bubbles, but this is serious not frivolous; a redcurrant-infused, orchard-fruited, leesy-biscuity Champagne; pale pink with great structure and a fine mousse.
Drink as an aperitif or match with king prawn vol-au-vents.
Elegant - Castelnau Blanc de Blancs 2002 (Spirited Wine)
A vintage Champagne made from only white grapes, this is as elegant and deeply desirable as a middle-aged Bryan Ferry. Fine, delicate and ethereal with citrus fruits, yellow peach and brioche. Assured, adept and complex, it doesn't have to try, it just is.
Match with grilled lemon sole, beurre blanc and courgettes.
Classy - Taittinger Brut Réserve NV (Majestic, Waitrose, Tesco)
A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this is a classic Grande Marque Champagne; peach and acacia, fresh citrus, honey and brioche. Long, fresh finish.
Match with smoked salmon.
If you have to ask the price, then you are clearly not entering into the spirit of Valentine's Day, but details are:
Lanson Rosé NV (£37.99, reduced to £27.99 until Feb 27)
Champagne de Castelnau Blanc de Blancs 2002 (£40.80)
Taittinger Brut Réserve NV (£37)

Grandparents have been honored with their own day in the US on the first Sunday after Labor Day since 1978.
Grandparents are celebrated with their own days, with varying dates, in nations across the globe. In some countries grandmothers and grandfathers have separate days.
Grandparents Day in the US has its own flower designated by the National Grandparents Day Council – the Forget-Me-Not.
In 2004 the Council named "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa" the official song of National Grandparents Day.
Grandparents Who Care for Their Grandchildren
Some interesting statistics we found from the US Census Bureau.
- 2.7 million grandparents were responsible for the basic needs of their grandchildren under the age of 18 in 2011.
- $45,526 is the median income of families in which grandparents provided the care for grandchildren under the age of 18 in 2011. If a parent was not part of the household, the median income of the household was $33,627.
- 1.7 million grandparents responsible for their own grandchildren under age 18 are in the labor force. Among them, 338,000 were 60 years or older.
- 657,000 grandparents with a disability were responsible for their grandchildren.
- 5.5 million children under 18 lived in a grandparent household in 2011. Nearly half of the grandchildren, 48 percent or 2.6 million, were under age 6.
Fun facts about grandparents in the US:
Their average age is 48 & more than half are Baby Boomers.
Tips for Making Grandparents Day Special!
- Have the grandchildren make a special card to tell them how much they are loved.
- Visit the grandparents and bring them a special treat. The visit doesn't have to be on Grandparents Day but can still mark the occasion by announcing or planning it with the grandparents on the day.
- Take a nature walk with the family and record the memories with pictures and video that can be revisited over time!
- Gather items on your nature walk and use it to make a shared craft project, such as a picture frame or scrapbook, to hold the gathered items along with photos from the walk!

By Samuel Greengard
Over the last few years, cloud computing has fundamentally changed the nature of IT and business. It has created new opportunities and introduced more efficient ways to manage everything from data and software to infrastructure and platforms. However, a new report from 451 Research, in conjunction with the Uptime Institute and the Yankee Group, indicates that a number of non-IT related obstacles are slowing the pace of project completions.
The report, TheInfoPro Wave 5 Cloud Computing Study, notes that 60 percent of respondents view cloud computing as a natural evolution of IT service delivery and, as a result, do not allocate separate budgets for cloud computing projects. However, among the group that does establish a separate budget for cloud projects, 69 percent expect to increase their spending over the next two years.
Not surprisingly, private clouds continue to dominate the IT landscape. Overall, 61 percent of respondents use internal clouds for virtualization, 26 percent rely on them for automation, 10 percent for orchestration, 2 percent for consolidation and 1 percent for standardization. However, over the past six months, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) activity doubled to between 30 percent and 33 percent of the total projects mentioned.
"Current adoption of cloud computing is a work in progress for most organizations as they continue to implement server virtualization, automation and orchestration capabilities that are the prerequisite underpinnings for the majority of cloud-ready data centers," says Peter ffoulkes, research director for servers, virtualization and cloud computing at TheInfoPro, a branch of 451 Research.
But the report also found that despite growing cloud adoption, 83 percent of respondents face significant roadblocks when it comes to deploying projects. The figure rose by 9 percent since the end of 2012. Interestingly, IT roadblocks have declined to 15 percent while non-IT roadblocks have increased to 68 percent. Respondents cited a number of general issues, mostly revolving around people, processes, budgets, time, politics, security challenges, contractual agreements and change management issues. These "non-IT roadblocks are usually harder to solve than technology problems," ffoulkes says.
Regulatory and compliance issues, particularly as they pertain to a cloud environment, are another pain point. Too often, respondents noted, cloud-based systems are set up on a pass/fail basis and they don't adequately address the nuances of today's business and IT environment, particularly in the security arena. As a result, some professionals are shying away from cloud projects they might otherwise embrace.
ffoulkes says that there are a number of key takeaways for CIOs and other business and IT leaders. They include:
- It's crucial to have a clear understanding of organizational requirements and to deal with technology issues. But executives must also focus on "cultural and organizational change management" in order to enable a successful transition to the cloud.
- Rejection and selection criteria are different, ffoulkes points out. It's important to separate these issues and understand what drives each decision.
- Costs can always be negotiated, but security, reliability, integration, service levels and compliance issues are not negotiable.
- It's critical to build a high level of flexibility in a cloud infrastructure. The environment is likely to change significantly over the next few years and an organization should have an "escape route" in something goes astray.
- Transparency is critical. Visibility into technology and processes is essential and an enterprise must be able to control and audit systems easily and effectively.
- Security must be built into the foundation of any cloud environment.
"The cloud is the foreseeable future for IT but it will exist in many different forms and will evolve significantly over the next several years," ffoulkes concludes. He says that today's business and IT leaders must change with the evolving cloud space or wind up being replaced. "The transition to cloud computing models is an inevitable evolution of IT delivery."

Something surprising happened the other day. Diana showed up with a portrait of me that I had no idea she was working on.
The teacher in her watercolor class had assigned the topic "umbrage." Paint umbrage. My friend thought, How on earth? Then she remembered a photo I sent her in June after a #familiesbelongtogether protest. She decided to incorporate the "shade" meaning of umbrage with the "angry" meaning — the trees with the protest. I love the colors in this — and the light and shadow.
I'm including a couple other light and shadow themes today. My sister and I both took photos of frost on our windows. The main difference: her frost is on the inside! As much as she loves her New York apartment, the time has come for new windows. The landlord is finally interacting with the city as the historic building needs special permits for new windows.
Sandra M. Kelly caught the sunset at my favorite island. I love how the sun streams down through the clouds.
The next shot shows how the late afternoon light hits the river birches outside the library. That was the view behind the poets at the last poetry reading. It took me a few days to find the sun at that angle again so I could come back for a picture.
We had a lot of birds near our feeder during the recent polar vortex. Also squirrels. Maybe a rabbit. Can you read tracks? I would love to know if I had a rabbit.
My granddaughter (red shirt) chose an ice-skating theme for her birthday party this year, making good use of the backyard rink.
Janet Schwartz painted the lovely rainy traffic scene in a recent show at Concord Art. And John Brickels is the artist behind the collapsing house. Hmmm. Is that a metaphor for anything?

Pusha-T Claims Drake Is Offering $100,000 for Dirt on Him
Drake is out here looking for revenge.
After Pusha-T dropped his ruthless diss record "The Story of Adidon," on which he calls out Drake for fathering a son with a porn star, fans are eagerly awaiting the 6 God's response.
According to the G.O.O.D. Music president, Drake is looking for dirt for his next diss and is offering a $100,000 reward for any damaging information on Pusha.
You got a 100k floating around for info? Can't no amount of money create skeletons that don't exist… #ImUpset 🤣
— King Push (@PUSHA_T) June 1, 2018
"You got a 100k floating around for info?" he tweeted. "Can't no amount of money create skeletons that don't exist… #ImUpset."
But Pusha maintains that there are no scandals to uncover. "Let me tell y'all like this: I don't got no skeletons. It is what it is," he told "The Breakfast Club."
Drake dropped his "Duppy Freestyle" on Friday (May 25). Days later, Pusha responded with "The Story of Adidon," on which he calls out Drake's mother, father, and Noah "40" Shebib. He also claims the Toronto rapper has a child with former porn star Sophie Brussaux ("You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat motherfucker playing border patrol / Adonis is your son and he deserves more than an adidas press run").
And if and when Drake responds, Pusha is ready to retaliate. "I'm prepared for everything," he said.

The legend of the ghost of Minnie Quay begins in 1852, when Minnie was 15. She fell in love with a sailor of whom her parents didn't approve. When his ship sank in the Great Lakes, the distraught Minnie walked through town and leapt off the pier to her death in Lake Huron, as the townsfolk watched. Now, her ghost is seen along the beaches of Forester, some say walking or waiting, others say calling young ladies into the water.

In this guest blog, physiotherapist, comedian and recovered incontinent Elaine Miller looks at why incontinence matters, what we know from research about what helps and how we can let women know that they don't have to put up with it and what they can do about it.
Page last updated: 07 May 2020
This is World Continence Week, so, the indignities and limitations urinary and fecal incontinence impose on people's lives has been in the press (Huffington Post), mumsnet, newspapers and magazines (check out the David Emanuel gown made of toilet tissue) and, even better, in Evidently Cochrane! I was delighted to see the recent blog on Evidently Cochrane about pelvic floor muscle training, or PFMT, because I'm a physiotherapist with a slightly obsessive interest in pelvic floors. And, I agree with Cochrane, not NEARLY enough people talk about incontinence!
Why should you care about your pelvic floor?
In my experience, most women are vaguely aware of PFMT, but, only actually do them when they hear the words "pelvic floor". Men are usually blissfully unaware they've even got a pelvic floor until their prostate misbehaves.
Wetting your pants won't kill you (not even if you foolishly join in the mum's race at the school sports day; "why did you just stop, mummy?") but the secondary effects of it might. If you publicly wet yourself when you run, you don't tend to go back running. Diseases of inactivity are major causes of death in the UK, with coronary heart disease Britain's single biggest killer. So, odour control may be the thing that people with incontinence worry about, but it's the whiff of a public health crisis that worries me.
Leaking's not normal, but you're not alone
Women with continence problems need to know that they are not alone, that they don't need to put up with it, where to seek help and that most cases can be improved.
It's not unusual for physios to hear from patients "I'm not incontinent, I just leak a bit". Any leaking of anything (so, pee, poo or pumps) is abnormal. A failure to educate people on what normal is means that people don't recognise that they have a problem, and one which often gradually gets worse over time.
Apart from the secondary depression, inactivity, sexual dysfunctions and hip fractures (elderly people hurrying to the toilet in the night are at riskA way of expressing the chance of an event taking place, expressed as the number of events divided by the total number of observations or people. It can be stated as 'the chance of falling were one in four' (1/4 = 25%). This measure is good no matter the incidence of events i.e. common or infrequent. of falls) the simple truth is that this interferes with every single thing that a woman wants to do – 1:3 of our women are being disempowered by incontinence. And, it needn't be so.
We really need to burst the taboo about incontinence
The simplest way to burst taboos is to talk, either in person or via social media. Communication is the easiest way to challenge the beliefs that many women have, that leaking is an inevitable part of parenthood or ageing. It is simply not true and simple changes to lifestyle can have a huge impact on the symptoms that women experience.
Using social media can be useful because of the anonymity if affords. The fact is that people are often simply too embarrassed to discuss their incontinence, and social media can be an effective tool for sharing public health information (as previously blogged by Evidently Cochrane here). I've been trialling using twitter as a training tool ("I tweet, you twitch your twinkle" @gussiegrips) and am hoping to use that to see whether self management is effective in mild or occasional urinary incontinence.
I'd push for pelvic floor education (for both sexes) to be part of Health And Wellbeing within schools. Making a habit of PFMT from a young age has the potential to have a huge impact on the incidenceThe number of new occurrences of something in a population over a particular period of time, e.g. the number of cases of a disease in a country over one year. of bladder disorders. And, as teenagers tend to be randy wee rascals, I'm fairly confident that if you tell them the side effectAny unintended effect (e.g. dizziness or a headache) of an intervention such as a drug, surgery or exercise. of PFMT is an improved sexual response, well, they'll comply, won't they?
Collaboration between the health care professionals, researchers, teachers, fit pros, sports coaches, continence product manufacturers, and the media could go a long way in changing attitudes. There's recently been a powerful collaboration between physiotherapists and midwives to prevent incontinence, which is a good start.
So what can be done?
Evidently Cochrane asked me to look at some of the Cochrane reviewsCochrane Reviews are systematic reviews. In systematic reviews we search for and summarize studies that answer a specific research question (e.g. is paracetamol effective and safe for treating back pain?). The studies are identified, assessed, and summarized by using a systematic and predefined approach. They inform recommendations for healthcare and research. which bring together the best available evidence about PFMT and share my thoughts. So here goes:
A final word from Elaine…
I'm ok now, by the way. I do my PFMT every day. Turns out that disgracing yourself in front of 300 kids is a good motivator for starting to pay more attention to your pelvic floor. Not one I'd recommend, though!

ROB HALFORD Says JUDAS PRIEST Didn't Listen To Its Classic Albums While Making 'Firepower'September 23, 2018
Max Volume of Reno's 105.7 KOZZ radio station recently conducted an interview with JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford. You can listen to the entire chat via the SoundCloud widget below. A few excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On the band's latest album, "Firepower":
Rob: "We're having the time of our lives right now with 'Firepower' as we come around the great United States of America. We couldn't be happier. It's just the best feeling in the world. We're on top of the game, so to speak, with our glorious heavy metal maniacs supporting us."
On PRIEST fans still buying physical product:
Rob: "The determination of our metalheads, to keep the side of what we do in the physical format is so strong. You can't beat holding the CD or vinyl. That's like holding a piece of the band in your hands. You add that to your collection and you look at your collection of PRIEST, heavy metal and it's all laid out and you look at a record and think of a song or a show you went to, you think of your buddies you went to where you had a bit of a beer party when you saw the band. It's all these things wrapped up when you have the physical CD in your possession."
On touring with DEEP PURPLE:
Rob: "'Machine Head' has always been one of my [favorite records]. Ian Gillan is just a phenomenal singer. He's also been a big inspiration to me as a singer when I started. I listened to a lot of other singers to get an understanding of what the voice was capable of doing and Ian was a tremendous inspiration for me."
On whether "Firepower" is the companion to the band's classic 1982 "Screaming For Vengeance":
Rob: "I think where we're at now is we're a band not too dissimilar to some of our friends who have re-assessed what they've achieved over the time that you've been making music together. You want to refocus and really look at what could be regarded as like the backbone and what represents you as a group. That's what we do when Glenn [Tipton, guitar], Richie [Faulkner, guitar] and myself did when we started writing the music for 'Firepower'. We talked about some of those albums, going right back to 'Sad Wings Of Destiny', the roaring of 'Victim Of Changes', 'Screaming For Vengeance', some 'Painkiller', definitely some 'British Steel'. We didn't actually listen to those albums, because I think it's a trap of being caught in repetition there, but we certainly thought about what was at the core of all those records, at the metal heart of PRIEST. That's what gave us the direction for 'Firepower'."
On the current status of Tipton, who had to retire from full-time touring activities due to being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease:
Rob: "He was just with us for a few shows, but it's really difficult for anybody to be on a long flight, particularly when you're battling Parkinson's, but he tries to come out and he was with us for a few shows and he went back to England to rest up and get some more treatment. He's doing incredibly well."
The JUDAS PRIEST and DEEP PURPLE co-headlining tour launched August 21 in Cincinnati and will conclude September 30 in Wheatland, California.
"Firepower" entered the Billboard 200 chart at position No. 5, making it PRIEST's highest-charting album ever.
