Since the discovery of X-rays in 1895, radiation therapy has been used to treat cancer. On January 29, 1896, just three days after the announcement of the discovery of X-rays, a single treatment was performed for approximately one hour in patients with breast cancer. Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) was one of the first medical institutions to recognize the potential of radiation for the treatment of cancer and has continued to pioneer new developments in the field ever since. When placed on or near a tumor, radiation causes the mass to shrink, sometimes completely.
However, due to its extreme rarity, the use of radiation in the treatment of cancer was limited. One ton of pitchblenda contains only a few micrograms of the element. MSK radiation oncologists and medical physicists are pioneering real-time computer-assisted visualization and dose calculations to improve brachytherapy for prostate cancer. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a form of treatment that delivers radiation at the time of surgery. MSK radiation oncologist Joachim Yahalom published results showing the benefits of combined chemotherapy and radiation in treatment-resistant Hodgkin lymphoma.
The use of ionizing radiation for the treatment of cancer dates back to the late 19th century, shortly after Roentgen described x-rays in 1895 and Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium in 1898. MSK radiation oncologist Josh Yamada published high-dose intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) results for spinal metastases. Quimby developed standard dosage tables for radiation treatment and also developed the radiation film plate as a safety guard against accidental exposure. Moss of Ellis Fishel State Cancer Hospital, Missouri, served as medical director of radiation oncology in the 1950s. He based his analysis on the level of radiation dermatitis seen in patients undergoing XRT for skin cancer. Conformal radiation therapy (CRT) uses CT images and special computers to accurately map the location of a cancer in 3 dimensions. There is now an enormous body of knowledge about the biology of cancer and how radiation affects human tissues at the cellular level.
Advances in radiation physics and computer technology during the last quarter of the 20th century allowed radiation to be targeted with greater precision. Donations came with the stipulation that the hospital focus solely on cancer and that radiation be used in its treatment. Ulrich Henschke, MSK's radioactive oncologist, developed a system for delivering internal radiation by sending a radioactive pellet through a catheter that could be removed after use, called an afterload. Since its inception over 120 years ago, radiation therapy has become an essential tool in treating cancer. With continued research and development, it is likely that this form of treatment will continue to evolve and improve over time.

Climate change has presented researchers with a wide variety of opportunities to track, predict and explore the societal and environmental implications of a changing planet. Around the world, climate change researchers are monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, modeling how weather and rainfall patterns are changing, and projecting impacts to natural resources and human communities many decades into the future. In the aquatic sciences discipline, researchers are focused on understanding how water bodies of all kinds are being altered by changing environmental conditions, and how the diverse plant and animal communities they support are impacted by these changes.
SCCWRP is part of a global community of researchers working to connect rapidly growing knowledge about the physical manifestations of climate change to aquatic ecosystem responses. SCCWRP focuses on building and strengthening environmental monitoring programs that inform decision-making and long-term planning by California’s environmental management community. SCCWRP also focuses on computer modeling to simulate how climate change will impact the health, distribution and resiliency of vulnerable aquatic species. SCCWRP’s goal is to provide California environmental managers with viable, cost-effective strategies and tools for mitigating and offsetting climate change’s ecosystem impacts.
Studying ecosystem impacts
Combatting climate change in the water-quality management community starts with reducing one’s own carbon footprint – but the work doesn’t end there. California’s water-quality management agencies also are pursuing a wide array of focused opportunities to more effectively mitigate the impacts of climate change on local ecosystems.
SCCWRP’s climate change research program is built around informing how managers can optimally respond to the aquatic ecosystem impacts of climate change. This work focuses on four main areas, all of which have rising greenhouse gas emissions as their root cause:
- Altered hydrological flow patterns: Researchers are examining how changing rainfall and runoff patterns, drought cycles, and changing water use and reuse practices are impacting efforts by California’s water resources management community to optimally protect the environmental flows that sustain aquatic ecosystems.
- Sea level rise: Researchers are exploring how vulnerable animals and plants in coastal wetlands and other low-lying habitats will be impacted by rising sea levels in the coming decades, and how California’s coastal resources management community can use these insights to protect sensitive species and preserve maximum ecological functioning.
- Warming waters: Researchers are examining how toxic cyanobacterial blooms and other nuisance species – which are becoming more common as waters warm – threaten both public and ecosystem health, and how to design long-term management strategies and improved monitoring programs to combat this emerging threat.
- Ocean acidification and hypoxia: Researchers are documenting how corrosive coastal ocean conditions and low dissolved oxygen levels threaten the health of marine food webs, and how California’s water-quality management community can better control and manage human activities on land to mitigate ecological impacts at sea.
Connecting climate science to management
SCCWRP deliberately does not focus its research on measuring and modeling the physical manifestations of climate change in aquatic environments. SCCWRP’s expertise is in understanding the ecological impacts of environmental change and translating these insights into actionable options and recommendations for the water-quality management community.

When I was about 6 or 7 my grandmother fainted in the bathroom of Honest Ed’s. I remember it so vividly because I was so afraid that when I opened my mouth to yell for help no sound came out. For years I found comfort in a morse code warning system my brother made up for my bedroom wall in case I needed help and couldn’t say so. I think he got sick of me sneaking in to sleep on his bedroom floor when I was scared or having an anxiety attack. It often eased my mind just to know I could summon help even if I lost my voice. Unfortunately I still lose my voice sometimes. Anytime I have to use the phone, or go to a social function.
Many friends wonder how someone that was the lead in several plays, performed singing telegrams and stand up comedy for years and delivered workshops and speeches to audiences of almost a thousand could be paralyzed by the thought of dialing a phone number or engaging in small talk. There are differences…One is me delivering material…whether it is lines or a song or a joke. It is me speaking about self-esteem or mental health or compassion in healthcare. I know what I want to say or do and can do it. A phone conversation or social situation is completely different. When faced with having to talk one on one I feel sick to my stomach, on the verge of tears, anxious. I have to try to say something from my own mind that doesn’t sound too stupid or isn’t too wrong. I inevitably say or do something that I wish I hadn’t or spend the next few days replaying the conversation to pick it apart. I can be looking forward to something and at the thought of being face to face with someone trying to have a conversation I panic and end up hiding from the world. I physically can’t get myself to leave the house or dial the phone. It isn’t that I don’t like people. I just don’t like how I feel around people.
They say Public Speaking is the most common phobia in the world. To me every one on one conversation is a public speaking engagement. I can talk to a room full of people about just about any topic, as long as I don’t have to talk about me. I can laugh and carry on with clients all day, or run workshops for teens on leadership but have literally thrown up at the thought of attending a church service or birthday party where people will want to talk with me.
It took me many years to realize….that’s ok. I am the way I am and that’s ok. I have a happy life, I am at peace when I don’t try to force myself to be something I’m not. I accept that I can answer the phone at work and get awards for my people skills but be unable to have a conversation in a social situation. I have accepted that I will work tirelessly to take care of the needs and wants of clients, family or those in need but be in a fetal position for days over having to make a phone call where I have to think of something to say or speak for myself.
I have learned to accept that I am a good hearted person who truly means well but I am unreliable and anti social at times…not because I want to be, I often wish I was different and could be social but I am at peace when I am alone. I don’t have to try and figure out what others are thinking or worry about letting them down or saying something I am judged for. I don’t have to feel panicked about whether I will embarrass my loved ones or be considered an idiot.
Don’t get me wrong. I like myself. It took me years to get there but I genuinely think I am a good person and for that reason I have started to let myself off the hook. I used to have compassion for everyone but me.
A friend recently posted an article entitled “You’re not running late, you are selfish and rude.” I thought of how harsh this title is. I know it can be frustrating to be kept waiting. And people who are always on time don’t understand that sometimes it isn’t about selfishness and being rude…. sometimes it is about being paralyzed with fear, it is about trying not to pass out at the thought of having to socially interact. Sometimes it is about trying to stop ones self from crying or shaking with fear or just getting the courage to walk out the door.
I have let many people down in my life. Not on purpose, and not without great personal sadness and consequence for doing so. I spent years punishing my mind and body because I let myself and others down by being late or missing commitments I agonized trying to get to.
A few years ago I was asked by a friend what I would say or do if they were the one struggling with panic attacks and anxiety. Would I punish them for a panic attack that stopped them from meeting me? Would I force them to do things they hated or try to find a way for them to be happy and feel peace? Would I judge them for their struggle or compassionately love and support them through it? My life is so much happier. I have adapted for the most part so I can live a fulfilled, happy life that is enriched with friends and loved ones. I may have most of my contact through Facebook and email but it is a more joyful relationship because I am not filled with days of anxiety before a social engagement and personal judgement afterwards. I found ways to share my love and serve others yet still be compassionate to my own spirit and needs. There are still times I let myself or others down because I am unable to keep a commitment due to paralyzing anxiety but I no longer feel like I’m drowning all the time. For decades I constantly felt anxiety and guilty. Now I take a deep breath and ask myself “what would I say to a loved one or a youth I was working with that faced a similar situation? How would I love them through it?

As with everything else in this strangely interdimensional mansion, the small balcony is not so cramped after all. It extends into a full corner surrounding the exterior of the house.
B’litk is surprised by the breadth and quantity of astronomical equipment in the otherwise empty observatory. Several telescopes – reflectors, refractors, and catadioptrics – of different apertures and magnifications line the balcony walls and windows. There are exquisitely decorated theodolites and astrolabes, and a few bronze armillary spheres, probably each representing a unique system of alien celestial bodies.
But above all, there are charts and books: large tomes and even larger drawings of star systems, constellations and their respective mythological stories. Somewhere in all this vast knowledge, B’litk is sure to uncover the location of a time-anchor. The only problem will be to find it.

Yutaka Watanabe “Early Works”
[Image: Yutaka Watanabe "Oo-Parts 4" 2008, oil on canvas, 194 ×130.3cm Photo : Mitsuru Goto]
This event has ended.
Since 2018, Watanabe has been using internet image search results in his works, combining elements of the results on anonymous figures to create portrait-like paintings. These creations are reminiscent of works of cubism, layered with colors and multifaceted viewpoints. Before arriving to his current method of painting, Watanabe has used vacant lots as motif, sometimes expressed as a house that has vividly remained in his memory and sometimes expressed as a nonliteral structure.
In his “Oo-Parts” series, Watanabe has incorporated his interest in the unknown with fantastical sensation. A colorful free-flowing branch-like object dances in the center, sharing the canvas with puddles of water as vegetation and houses loom in the background. The works depict imaginary landscapes, like something similar to those hazy memories from out childhood.

Summary: God calls us men to be men like Jesus. He doens’t call us to be action heroes full of attitude and anger. He calls us to answer the Question who do you say that I am and what difference does it make in our lives.
Intro: Who do people say that I am? That is the most purposeful question that you will ever be asked in your life. Some people say Jesus was a good teacher, a radical zealot, a miracle worker, a relgion starter.
But Jesus never allows us to stay with the purposeful answer he always makes it personal. It is never enough to repeat what other people say about Jesus. You must answer the question for yourself. Jesus isn’t just purposeful He is personal. So who do you say that He is?
If you say that He is The Christ the Son of the Living God then he stands as the King of Kings waiting for you allegiance. He stands as your brother waiting for you to walk with Him. He stands as your sheperd waiting for you to follow and listen to HIs voice.
He has created us to be zealous for good works. What Jesus wants our encounter with Him to do is Manifest the Attributes and Character of Our Holy God. He wants us to be Macho. But the world has twisted macho to mean something God never meant for men to be.
I. Maturing in your relationship with Christ
Luke 2:52 – Jesus Grew
1 Peter 2.1-3 Therefore – Because you have been born again. (Have you) Have you had that personal dealing in your own spirit and mind of who Jesus is?
A) The birth – No birth no growth
B) The growth
1) Do away with (attitudes) works of flesh – lay aside the clothes of the old life don’t belong on a newborn. (The attitudes of the old life are a road block to God’s life of abundance)
2) Desire (present grace gift of desire to have Christ live life through you) The nature we feed the most is the nature that wins.
3) Dependence (remember goodness of God)
The spiritual giants from the past much like us take little steps to become followers of a Big God. The giants of the faith appear that way because they had no time for childish pursuits. They were children of God who heard His call to come closer and grow nearer.
Rabbi Abraham Heschel, “Faith like Job’s cannot be shaken because it is the result of having been shaken."
II .Available for God
A) To what God wants to teach us
Life is simple living is not
B) To where God wants to take us
Conformity to Christ. Advancement of God’s kingdom
III. Christ centered courage
Jesus is not a nice addition to our habits and hang outs
Separate – Set apart for God’s purposes different from the world
1) Its way of thinking
2) Its way of making decisions
3) Its way of loving
To abound in Holiness we must abide in the presence of Chirst. Holiness is distinctness that comes from the Holy Spirit placing His distinctive character in us.
V. Our Legacy
If you were to die right now what would you leave behind? Would it be ripples in the stream of eternity that would affect your family, friends, co-workers, enemies toward a relationship with Jesus Christ? Or would it be just a tombstone with letters etched but life forgotten?
God wants to take each of us as men and make us Macho.
Louis Pasteur, the pioneer of immunology, lived at a time when thousands of people died each year of rabies. Pasteur had worked for years on a vaccine. Just as he was about to begin experimenting on himself, a 9-year-old, Joseph Meister, was bitten by a rabid dog. The boy’s mother begged Pasteur to experiment on her son. Pasteur injected Joseph for ten days and the boy lived.
Decades later, of all the things Pasteur could have etched on his headstone, he asked for three words: Joseph Meister Lived.
Our greatest legacy will be those who live eternally because of our efforts.
Conclusion: Who is your Joseph Meister? What area or areas is God calling you to mature in? Are you Macho? Are you manifesting the character and attitude of a holy God? God created you in Christ Jesus to be Macho don’t live below you calling as a new creature in God’s Kingcdom.

Jules Hillier, Chief Executive, Pause
When elections come as thick and fast as ours have over the last 4 years, it’s easy to get complacent, irritable even, and take involvement in our democratic processes for granted. That was certainly my response to the latest plans – a heavy sigh and, if I’m honest, a bit of a “what’s the point” kind of shrug. Then, as so often happens, my initial cynicism was prodded and challenged by the response of my colleagues in Pause who wanted to think about how we could best support our Practices to ensure the women who are working with them are not disenfranchised.
And of course, they’re right. However jaded I may feel about the political situation at the moment, the most important thing has and will always have to be that everyone can take part in the process. Every day we hear the women who work with Pause described as ‘hard to reach’. It’s a term we don’t use, but if women find the services they need difficult to access, I am certain many of them will not have been reached by the great engines of democracy.
So, as the election is announced we’re making a commitment at Pause to the women with whom we work; we will support you to take part. If you’re not sure how elections work then we will help explain it, and don’t worry if you don’t – lots of people find it hard to understand how our Parliament and MPs work. We’ll help you make sure you are registered to vote, we’ll encourage you think about the things that are important to you and we’ll support you to research the candidates in your area. We’ll never, ever tell you how you should vote, but we will make sure you have everything you need to make and exercise your own choice.As with many things at Pause, once I’d started thinking about the world from the perspective of the women with whom we work, I felt more energised about the potential of an election. I regained some of the zest and passion for involvement in democracy that I’ve always had, but that the last few years has rather dampened. I’m proud to be in an organisation where somebody’s first thought (even if it’s not always my first thought) is “how will this affect the women?” Their energy and enthusiasm has galvanised me and I hope it will inspire you too.
Regardless of our political opinions, or the results of a general election, the desire to ensure that everyone can take part should be something that brings communities together. In a time of division, to find some common ground through supporting those who have not always been able to participate to do so is a rare and joyful thing.
At Pause we want to support everyone to be able to vote and make sure their voices are heard. If you are currently working with Pause your practitioner can help you register to vote, but it is entirely up to you to decide who you want to vote for. Your voice, your vote.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has reiterated its support for both national and local candidates to undergo drug test in order for them to set good example to the people.
At the same time, PNP chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos said that he had already instructed the PNP Drug Enforcement Group to look into the information that was revealed by President Duterte about a national candidate who is allegedly into cocaine use.
He stressed that any revelation of the President, being their Commander-In-Chief, prompts a fact-finding.
“If there are relevant information, definitely we will conduct an investigation. As of this time, we are trying to get additional information on that matter,” said Carlos.
He stressed that police action on the President’s revelation will depend on the sufficiency of the evidence.
“A person with a history of drug use may be arrested if there is an outstanding warrant of arrest in connection with the drug offense,” said Carlos.
The PNP earlier supported calls for candidates to undergo drug test to ensure that not one of them is hooked on illegal drugs.
Carlos said reiterated the call amid the revelation of Duterte.
“Although the PNP acknowledges that no law mandates the candidate to undergo a drug test, but doing so will set an example to their fellow countrymen by proving that they aren’t users of illegal drugs,” said Carlos.

MANCHESTER (AP) – The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeding agricultural producers and food businesses with millions of dollars in investment funds to improve markets, create and strengthen jobs, control food prices and improve nutrition, Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Thursday.
“We’re here to underscore the important role that local and regional food systems play for American agriculture and farmers, and to announce USD320 million of variety of loans and grants which are designed to strengthen the supply chain, to make the food system more resilient and to create a number of opportunities for mid- and small-size operators,” he said.
He spoke during a visit to the Fresh Start Market in Manchester, New Hampshire. The market sells fresh fruits, vegetables and other products grown by immigrant farmers, some of which are distributed via a community-supported agriculture programme.

GURGAON: The state government is looking at getting Rs 14,000 to Rs 15,000 crore richer in this financial year by collecting the external development charges (EDC
) from real estate giants. It has already initiated discussions with the developers and is also planning to ease the burden on developers by offering various modes of payments like part-payment or installments.
“Real estate developers were directed to deposit between Rs 14,000 to Rs 15,000 crores of pending EDC,” state finance minister Captain Abhimanyu Singh Sindhu said on Saturday.
The minister said the government would further rationalise the EDC for different townships in the state. According to him, the state is in the process of categorising the areas on the basis of their commercial value, which will then help decide the EDC for each property. Currently, the charges are fixed for all properties. “A township with lower commercial value would attract lesser EDC, thereby easing the burden on developers,” said the minister.
Elaborating on pending EDC dues in the state, Captain Abhimanyu explained that the government has had several consultations with real estate developers. “The amount collected from EDC recovery will be utilised for upgrading the infrastructure,” said the minister.
In Gurgaon, a developer has a take licence from the department of town and country planning (DTCP) before commencing on a project, for which they are charged EDC, infrastructure development charge (IDC) and licence fee. According to the rule, a developer’s licence can be cancelled if it fails to pay EDC and IDC. Besides, licences can be renewed only after settling the dues.
“The real estate sector is in bad shape and developers have not paid EDC and IDC to the DTCP. The state has to recover several thousands of crores in the form of EDC and IDC from developers in Gurgaon alone,” said a DTCP official.

Widow devastated as judge rules her $280,000 home will be sold over unpaid $6.30 tax bill
- Eileen Battisti insists she paid all taxes in full and was unaware she owed the addition $6.30
- The court ruled that she was given multiple notices about the looming sale and that she even acknowledged receiving them
- The home sold for less than half market value at a 2011 auction
Sad state of affairs: Eileen Battisti frowns as she talks last year about the situation that led up to a court decision about her home
A widow has been told for the second time by a Pennsylvania court that her home's sale at auction after she failed to pay property taxes is valid - she owed only $6.30 at the time it was sold.
Eileen Battisti, 53, of Aliquippa, lost legal rights to her $280,000 home over two years ago after failing to pay the paltry sum but has made multiple appeals on grounds she did not know it was owed.
The most recent decision made last week denied her request to reverse the September 2011 sale of a house she is still reportedly living in.
'I paid everything, and didn't know about the $6.30,' Battisti said. 'For the house to be sold just because of $6.30 is crazy.'
She had previously owed other taxes, the court noted, but at the time of the sale she owed just $235, including other interest and fees.
Beaver County Common Pleas Judge Gus
Kwidis wrote in his ruling that the county tax claim bureau complied with notification
requirements in state law before the auction.
'There is no doubt that (she) had actual receipt of the notification of the tax upset sale on July 7, 2011, and Aug. 16, 2011,' the judge wrote. 'Moreover, on Aug. 12, 2011, a notice of sale was sent by first class mail and was not returned.'
Battisti also admitted to receiving those notices, the judge asserted, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
He write in the ruling there “is no doubt' Battisti “had actual receipt” of them.
The property sold for about $116,000, and she is entitled to $108,039 if subsequent appeals are unsuccessful, according to the paper.
'She's going to get that money, but
she's going to lose her house. All the notice requirements were met,'
wrote Kwidis. 'In tax assessment laws, even if I feel sorry for her, I
can't do anything to help her.
'Everyone felt bad about it.'
Her beloved home: Battisti's house was sold at far less than even half market value
An attorney for the purchaser did not return a phone message left on Monday.
Joe Askar, Beaver County's chief solicitor, said the judge got the decision right, based on the law.
'The county never wants to see anybody lose their home, but at the same time the tax sale law, the tax real estate law, doesn't give a whole lot of room for error, either,' Askar said.
Battisti argued her husband handled the paperwork for the property's taxes before he passed away in 2004.
'It's bad — she had some hard times, I guess her husband kind of took care of a lot of that stuff,' Askar said. 'It seemed that she was having a hard time coping with the loss of her husband — that just made it set in a little more.'
Battisti told the paper she has no desire to collect the funds and will do everything in her power to retain possession of her home.
Part of that process will include an appeal to the Commonwealth Court, which earlier ordered an evidentiary hearing that led to this ruling.
She will be allowed to stay in the home until a final ruling is made.

When India and China were advancing at a spanking 8% plus GDP growth rate, it was believed by many that a ‘power-shift’ was taking place from the developed West to the developing East. The earlier wealth generated by Japan and South Korea never prompted this belief for a variety of reasons. (Now, Japan is an established giant, but with creaking joints as its population ages.) In the past two decades when the US was on a spending binge, China made the most of it, building massive foreign exchange reserves and investing in long term infrastructure projects. It permitted unhindered growth in every sphere except wages, knowing fully well that this was at the core of its export strength. Basically, it made hay while the sun shone; even to the extent of ignoring environmental concerns, based probably on the belief that poverty was an even greater threat.
India, on the other hand, did not take the required advantage and basically made do with what washed up by itself on its shores. Its leaders neither recognised what was happening, nor did they make the strategic decisions to take advantage. The Indian growth story, though spectacular, was nothing compared to the Chinese one. Now that the world economy is going rapidly downhill, China is much better placed to take advantage of the opportunities and counter the threats.
Significantly, China is just as riddled with corruption as India, and while it is taking action, it is not adopting an anti-entrepreneur and self-defeating policy. It has worked hard to create an environment for business growth and rewards risk-takers well beyond its restrictive political system. On the other hand, in India, businessmen are the first to be put in the dock for whatever ails the country. The word businessman is almost synonymous with ‘thief’ in the popular and political lexicon. As such, the very section of society required to pull India out of the present doldrums is increasingly under unwarranted pressure.
Anything a government does during boom time seems to work. Mistakes are not immediately noticed. The quality of a government’s economics becomes known only in times of challenge. The lack of decisiveness in UPA-II has left the nation unprepared for the coming troubles, and it does not need a Standard and Poor downgrade to understand that. That things are going to become worse before they get better is clear from the results of the elections in Europe. The very future of the European Union is under threat from reckless piling up of debt and just a few economies being expected to carry the rest. While one part of Europe cannot abandon the other, impractical welfarism and populism will wreak mayhem and rack up a bill that the entire global economy might have to pay. India’s poor will suffer the consequences of the Europeans (and Americans) being unable to make the necessary lifestyle and skill changes to become viable again.
States like Uttarakhand, which are already under immense pressure to provide employment to their burgeoning youth population, will have to learn their lessons and rejig systems so as not to repeat mistakes made by countries like Spain, Portugal and Greece (which are like states of a united Europe). Aspirations and expectations should not be encouraged to unrealistic levels. A culture that encourages entrepreneurship should not only be put into place, but also promoted as the ‘only way’. A high cost lifestyle and poor employment opportunities are demoralising the youth. There may be little hope for Greece, etc., in the present situation, but Uttarakhand still has the opportunity to chart a successful course for the coming decade if it learns from the European crisis. There is no need to wait for directions from the High Command to adopt an aggressive approach on economic issues.

Rent Prices are Dropping: It’s that time of the year.
As we transition into the cooler weather, we also transition into a cooler market. This is when landlords that missed the summer rental season see their units on the market for longer and start needing to lower their rents.
This seasonal shift varies in intensity but holds true year in and year out. It’s important to get ahead of this pricing curve and drop the price a bit more quickly than you would at other times of the year when prices are either more stable or will be increasing. Whatever the correct rental price is for an October 1st move-in, it will almost assuredly be lower for a November 1st move-in. And you won’t make up for an extra month’s vacancy even if that turns out not to be the case.
If your unit is still on the market after 3-4 weeks of being well marketed, it’s time to switch up your strategy.
If your unit is still on the market after 3-4 weeks of being well marketed, it’s time to switch up your strategy. Re-evaluate the market and what the unit is worth compared to the other units that are available. There is a smaller pool of renters that are shopping at this time of the year, and that pool will continue to diminish into the winter.
Can you offer incentives? Can you include utilities? What about offering a free month of rent? These are changes landlords will employ when they don’t want to decrease their price, but they’re not for everyone. They generally make sense for owners of larger projects with multiple vacancies, but the cost of them generally won’t ‘buy’ as much marketability as simply putting that cost towards a lower advertised rental rate.
Update the photos and the description of the listing. Make sure there aren’t any holiday decorations in the photos that give away how long the property has been on the market. Catch the unit at a different time of day to get lighting that might accent something new. Get creative with the description that might attract a new set of tenants to the listing.
And/or… get professional advice, and hire a property manager who does this day in & day out.

Jason Roy fined £2500, given suspended ban for undisclosed misconduct
England opener hit with mystery sanction by Cricket Discipline Commission
The Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) – a body that hears disciplinary cases in the professional domestic game in England and Wales and operates “at arm’s length from the ECB” – announced the sanctions after Roy “admitted a charge of conducting himself in a manner which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the game of cricket, the ECB and himself into disrepute”.
Roy’s ban is for the next two England matches for which he is eligible for selection, but has been “suspended for 12 months dependent on good behaviour”. He must pay a fine of £2,500 by March 31.
The statement made no mention of the action which caused a sanction to be made against Roy and, in a departure from usual protocol, the written reasons were not published in full.
The CDC Regulations were changed in 2020, stipulating that written reasons for a disciplinary panel’s findings should be published in full on the ECB’s website “unless [the panel] determines for any reason that it is appropriate that they should only be published in part or not published at all.”
Roy pulled out of his Rs. 2 crore (£200,000 approx.) IPL contract with Gujarat Titans last month citing his desire to “spend some quality time with my family” following his stint with Quetta Gladiators in the PSL.
His county, Surrey, announced he would miss the early stages of the Championship season and instead take “a short, indefinite break from the game”. Roy is currently on holiday with his family in the Maldives.
An England team spokesperson offered no comment.

Josh Hamilton limited by sore knee
By Richard Durrett
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said that major league batting leader Josh Hamilton was moved from center field to designated hitter in a late lineup switch before Monday's game because the AL MVP candidate's right knee was bothering him.
Speaking after the Rangers' 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals, Washington said the move was because of "aches and pains" and that Hamilton could be in the field on Tuesday.
Hamilton said he was OK when asked about his knee after going 2-for-5 on Monday. He's batting .359 with 31 home runs and 95 RBIs for the AL West-leading Rangers.
Hamilton has dealt with knee issues all season. He got a second cortisone shot in the knee on Aug. 1 after missing a game with tendinitis.
Vladimir Guerrero, who was originally listed as the designated hitter, started in right field Monday. Nelson Cruz shifted from right to left, and David Murphy moved from left to center.
Cruz, in his return from the disabled list, doubled in his first at-bat and went 1-for-4 and scored a run.
Richard Durrett covers the Rangers for ESPNDallas.com. You can follow him on Twitter or leave a question for his weekly mailbag.

New data currently being examined by NOAA's Hurricane Research Center suggests that Katrina may actually have made landfall as a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 115 mph, instead of the Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds that she was believed to be. By this same line of thought, the winds that reached New Orleans were only Category 1 force at 95 mph. This has far reaching implications for our understanding of storm surge. We know that the Gulf Coast saw huge storm surge, especially in Mississippi, and would not expect that size surge out of a Category 3 storm. Also, it implies that winds of only Category 1 strength managed to breach the New Orleans levees in 3 different places. The levees were designed to withstand Category 3 winds. Even the original official estimates place sustained winds barely above hurricane strength in New Orleans, where the urban roughness slowed the wind. This would not be the first time the hurricane center changed intensity estimates after landfall.In 2002, Hurricane Andrew was re-estimated to be a Category 5 storm, ten years after landfall.


Recently Cloudflare announced a wide-scale post-quantum experiment that was conducted in cooperation with Google. We focused on using post-quantum key exchange algorithms by real clients for the TLS session establishment over real networks. Our goal was to find most suitable quantum-resistant key exchange algorithm to be used on the Internet as well as understand difficulties related to deployment of post-quantum cryptography. To achieve those goals we selected two significantly different post-quantum KEMs – SIKE and NTRU. This choice allowed us to assess how size of the public key will affect performance of TLS handshake and whether it is worth to favor schemes with small public keys over those which perform much faster but also have much bigger public key size. We implemented those algorithms in BoringSSL library which then was integrated into Google’s Chrome Canary web browser and Cloudflare’s edge servers. Such software and service package was made public and used by real users. This enabled us to perform measurements on real-world use cases, both on server and client side. We collected, analyzed data and studied the results. In this invited talk will discuss the outcomes of the experiment.

Caretaker Local Government Minister Ibrahim Murad underlined the necessity of safeguarding urban green spaces at a meeting to review the master plan for 11 Punjab districts.
The Minister stressed that the new plan should clearly define green spaces to reduce pollution and preserve agricultural land for the rising population.
Murad said new housing developments should not be authorised in green areas and that illegal ones should be pulled down.
He also noted that business and commercial operations in cities are crucial to economic stability and can produce jobs in rural communities.
11 districts—Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Okara, Sahiwal, Khanewal, Vehari, Dera Ghazi Khan, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur, and Rahim Yar Khan—are being master planned by the Local Government Department.
The relevant Deputy Commissioners received Land Use Classification Maps for these districts. These districts’ land use plans will meet 20-year needs after approval and notification by concerned officials.
It’s encouraging that authorities are prioritising green space preservation for sustainable urban growth.

Calling all Filipino gamers! Sony’s long-awaited Play Station 5 (PS5) is here! Well, not quite.
The Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation recently released the much-awaited home video game console in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea. However, Filipino gamers will have to wait a little longer because the PS5 is scheduled for launching in the country on December 11.
Many may not know it, but the Philippines has become an emerging center for eSports in Southeast Asia over the years. As a matter of fact, a 2019 year-end tally on Twitter has revealed that the Philippines ranked 10th among countries that tweeted the most about gaming. The list also shows Japan, the United States, South Korea, Thailand, Brazil, France, Great Britain, Indonesia, and Spain. (Read: 4 Apps Where You Can Watch Original Filipino Films)
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Filipinos have already cemented their place in the international gaming scene. With that, numerous game developers have also taken inspiration from Philippine culture and featured a fair number of Filipino Heroes as game characters.
Tekken 7: Filipino Character “Josie Rizal”
The first-ever playable Filipino character in Tekken 7 has been introduced to the long-running fighting game in 2015. Named after the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal, Josie is a Pinay heroine that specializes in a fighting style called eskrima or arnis—a famous martial art in the Philippines.
Tekken director and producer Katsuhiro Harada also confirmed that Josie is indeed the first Tekken fighter of Filipino descent. And just last Halloween, he praised Nadine Lustre‘s cosplay of the Pinay Tekken character, saying that the actress perfectly portrayed Josie.
Mobile Legends: Filipino Character “Lapu Lapu”
In 2017, Filipino national hero Lapu-Lapu was introduced as the newest hero on the popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game Mobile Legends: Bang bang. (Read: NHCP Confirms First Easter Sunday Mass Held in Limasawa Island)
The pre-Spanish warrior who defended Mactan, Cebu from the Spanish conquerors led by Ferdinand Magellan was described in the game as the one who “took up his twin blades and led his people into battle, slaying countless invaders. Under his leadership, they won victory and the respect of the enemy, free once again to live in peace.”
Bayani Video Game: All-Filipino Characters
According to its website, Bayani is an indie fighting video game that “draws heavily from historical figures and landmarks from the Philippines as inspiration.” The game is set in an alternate world and timeline but has many parallels, references, and callbacks to historical figures and events in the country.

This Day in Texas History: Roberts Family Sells Nacogdoches Landmark
This Day in Texas History:
Roberts Family Sells Nacogdoches Landmark
June 15, 1901
The Old Stone Fort dated to 1779, when Antonio Gil Ibarvo, who laid out the town, built a two-story stone house to use in the trading business. It remained the tallest structure in Nacogdoches for nearly a century. The Old Stone Fort assumed a quasi-public character over the following decades through several changes of ownership, and was the scene of many historic events. John S. and Harriet Fenley Roberts, who purchased it in 1838, operated a saloon there.
When the Perkins brothers dismantled the building, they donated the materials to a local ladies’ organization. In 1936 the state of Texas moved the materials to the campus of Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College, where a replica of the original structure was erected for the Texas Centennial celebration.

The Benefits of Switching to Natural Skincare Products
More and more skincare lovers are opting for “natural” skincare products every day. Although this is undoubtedly amazing news, it is crucial to understand that not all "natural" skincare products are the same.
You might be surprised to learn that a business only needs to use 1% of natural ingredients in order to use the word "natural" in Australia!
Although many different brands use the term "natural," not all natural beauty products are created to the same standards.
Here at Merindah Botanicals, we are committed to defining what a natural product is in the context of the beauty industry.
When you buy a product from Merindah Botanicals, you can be sure it’s of the finest natural purity.
Because when we say our products are natural, what we actually mean is our Australian made skincare products are 100% natural.
And we are also proud to be vegan, cruelty-free, natural, and non-toxic by certification.
Additionally, all of our natural skincare ingredients are sustainable and ethically sourced because we deeply care about our planet.
So, if you’re thinking about making the switch to natural skincare products, or maybe you already have – we want to remind you that your skin will absolutely love you for it!
Continue reading for the benefits of switching to natural skincare products for your face and body.
Your skin will appreciate you for switching to natural beauty products and here’s why.
1. You're giving your skin the nutrients it needs.
The same advice we receive about eating a variety of fruits and vegetables also applies to how we should care for our skin.
Davidson Plum, Green Tea, and other botanically derived are abundant in healthy antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals! These nutrients enter into the skin when applied topically, aiding in skin protection, hydration, plumpness, and smoothness.
Our multi-award winning Luxurious is full of antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Sandalwood, Kakadu Plum and Tasmanian Pepper Berry which work to protect the skin from free radicals and everyday pollution, stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity and soothes and calms the skin.
2. Your body and skin are not being exposed to potentially harmful synthetic ingredients.
Parabens and phthalates are two examples of synthetic ingredients whose research is continually growing. These substances can affect our immune and reproductive systems and have been demonstrated to have an endocrine-disrupting effect.
In order for a product to be really natural, all of its ingredients must be free of potentially dangerous synthetic compounds.
We advise keeping an eye out for common "not so natural" ingredients including parfum, sodium benzoate, phenoxyethanol, and PEGs commonly found in skincare products advertised as natural.
We make it easy for you so you can be sure of what you are putting on your skin is natural and safe.
You will only find plant-based ingredients on the ingredient lists of our products, many of which you may already be familiar with.
Our Nourishing Hand Cream, for example, contains a mix of 100% natural and organic ingredients extracted from botanicals such as Quandong, Finger Lime Caviar and Shea Butter to hydrate and nourish your hard-working hands.
3. Natural skincare products can soothe skin conditions and skin will be less sensitive and irritated.
Many artificial ingredients found in conventional skincare and cosmetic products, such parabens and synthetic scents, have been found to irritate and dry up the skin.
They can also aggravate existing skin diseases like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Numerous natural skin care ingredients contain nutrients that support skin healing, protection of the skin microbiome, and skin calming and soothing.
Our Invigorating Body Scrub contains a unique combination of castor and extra virgin olive oil to reveal the silkiest, softest skin imaginable.
Nothing eliminates dry, flaky skin like our Invigorating Body Scrub, you’ll feel the lasting hydration infused into your skin even after rinsing off.
4. Natural ingredients have been scientifically proven to work.
You can be sure that the ingredients, which are sourced from fruits, plants, and botanicals, will work because they have been researched, tried, and tested.
These natural alternatives, when used correctly, offer effective wrinkle-fighting and brightening benefits without the negative effects synthetic ingredients can bring.
One of our favourite ingredients is Paracress, a natural cosmetic ingredient that has wrinkle-smoothing effects comparable to those of Botox. Although the plant's effect is not as strong as Botox, it naturally avoids its unfavourable side effects.
Our philosophy is simple, we only use natural ingredients and when we say natural, what we really mean is 100% natural ingredients. No propylene glycol, petrochemicals, EDTA, sulphates, phthalates, artificial preservatives, or aluminum.
We are incredibly pleased to offer the following certifications to support our promise and philosophy at Merindah Botanicals:

The Bard Blog is a month old today. WOW! So much has been added already and there’s a billion more things to do. I have a long list of items to write about for every category in the sidebar. If you have any suggestions for something you’d like me to discuss I’d be glad to hear about, just let me know!
There are a lot of Shakespeare dictionaries and glossaries online and very few of them are any good. You’re best bet will always be a physical book. A Shakespeare Lexicon of some sorts, or the Oxford English Dictionary.
The new glossary page is by no means a substitute for those wonderful resources, I’m not even going to try. The glossary is a list of all the past Words of the day. In a long while from now it will become a long semi-comprehensive list that might be a good first place to look for some more challenging words, but don’t throw your dictionaries away! And be careful of some of those free online Shakespeare glossary pages. They’re usually not very complete, not always useful, and sometimes don’t have correct definition for the context you’re looking for.
All that aside, check out the page and enjoy!

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) John Cofie, the Municipal Crime Officer, said stealing of electricity cables had become more pronounced in the area over the past couple of weeks.
He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that churches and schools had not been spared the crime and said the Fosu Anglican Mission, Lighthouse Chapel International and Affutuakwa Primary, had all been affected by the criminal activity.
DSP Cofie gave the assurance that everything was being done to arrest the culprits and bring them to justice.
He, however, asked the inhabitants to remain vigilant and to have the courage to report suspicious characters to the police.
The way forward to effectively fight crime, he said, was for the people to provide timely and useful leads to the police to apprehend the miscreants in the society.

Pregnant Sienna Miller Does Lunch With Her Baby DaddyJoanna Mazewski
Pregnant mama-to-be Sienna Miller was spotted having a relaxing lunch at a cafe in Soho, London along with her baby daddy, Tom Sturridge on Friday afternoon.
The actress didn’t look like she was phased at all by the paparazzi who snapped her pic while she was eating her lunch.
We can’t see much of her bump here, but it does look like Sienna is about mid-way through her pregnancy. There’s also a hot rumor going around too that Tom might have proposed to the British beauty, so I guess that makes marriage and a baby carriage for Sienna later this year. Check out our photos.

Now as for the price, this complaint comes up time and time again. And basically, beggars cannot be choosers. If you want the trainers and the benefits of UNL status, then you must pay the fee. Or make your own trainers.
So for 24.99 you have access to the (arguably) best trainers on the www. These trainers are made merely hours after the game is put on the market. It's a good deal.
I totally agree. The site has been running slow but is picking up quickly. And yes, this site does have some awesome trainers. And if you want the Unl. status and the trainers you are going to have to pay the price.
Now Stalker Clear Sky is coming out, which I've already got on pre-order, and I'll have access to the trainers released for it as well.
Or as many guys from staff have said "Write a FAQ and become an Author".That's the only free way to become a unl. member.True the price might seem steep but if you want excellent service you gotta pay a price.
You always have a choice of purchasing or upgrading to our LIFETIME membership which has and will always be the best value.

Council bosses have complained fines are not high enough to stop bad parking.
Transport chiefs suspect parking charge notice (PCN) fines are so low some motorists consider them a “charge” rather than a deterrent.
They have also received reports of motorists seemingly content to receive multiple PCNs in one day.
Motorists currently caught breaking the rules pay the highest current possible charge – £60 dropping to £30 if paid within 14 days.
The government is considering upping the charge to one of between £40 and £60 for fines paid within the 14-day period.
The Scottish Government has ordered the first review of the charge since 2011 after introducing new council powers to clamp down on bad parking.
The Scottish Government has not increased the charge since 2001.
The consultation document states “anecdotal evidence” has suggested “in some cases motorists may in effect be treating the PCN as a “parking charge”.
Motorists are: “Writing off the cost for undertaking recreational activities or attending events.”
We’re seeking your views on the levels of local authority Penalty Charge Notices to support compliance with #parking policy.
— Transport Scotland (@transcotland) August 4, 2021
Transport bosses suspect some vehicle passengers contribute towards the cost rather than attempt to follow the rules.
It goes on the say other stakeholders “highlighted that the level of the charge may be insufficient to deter reoffending with some providing examples of motorists receiving multiple PCNs in a single day.”
Why are the changes being considered now?
Council parking wardens can now fine motorists for pavement parking, double-parking and parking at dropped kerbs.
The Scottish Government introduced the new powers in the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019.
Transport bosses are now consulting on the higher charges after turning down a similar request from local authority chiefs in 2011.
They are considering introducing higher and lower fines. The above offences will attract the higher rate.
The consultation document states councils are not able to use fines as a way to generate income. But only to offset their costs in enforcing the rules.
How has the Angus MSP and transport minister Graeme Dey explained the move?
Scottish Government transport minister Graeme Dey said parking has become a “contentious issue across our towns and cities.”
The Scottish Government was seeking to improve the country’s health and encourage active travel. Whilst making our streets more accessible for all, he added.
The Angus South MSP acknowledged Covid-19 schemes to encourage more people to walk and cycle may have reduced on-street options.
“An effective parking enforcement regime is critical to managing to keep Scotland moving (and parking) effectively,” he said.
