President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday assured Nigerians that his administration will remain focused and committed to creating an inclusive and diversified economy, saying the dark days of impunity are gone for good.
Receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS), led by Mr Obafemi Onashile, Buhari said growing the nation's economy means ''national growth must impact the silent majority.''
"Nigerians have clearly spoken of their desire for the country to move forward. On our part, we remain committed to the Change Agenda. By the grace of God, and with your continued prayers and support, the dark days of impunity are gone for good," he said.
Buhari, while highlighting his administration's achievements in stimulating the economy in the past three years, said his administration focused on key job-creating sectors such as agriculture and infrastructure development to boost the economy.
On the incessant building collapses across the country, the president warned that those responsible for such incidents of professional negligence will face the full wrath of the law.
He told members of the institute that the recent tragic incident in Lagos, and many others across the country, were a reminder of the need to strictly adhere to quality standards on construction projects.
"Young innocent lives must never be lost due to incompetence and greed. Simply put, no corners must be cut. I want to assure you that those responsible for such incidents of professional negligence will feel the full wrath of the law," he said.
In his presentation, the President of NIQS, Onashile appealed to the Federal Government to create a Directorate of Quantity Surveying and Projects Costs Management to address the issue of unclear delineation of professional functions amongst construction professions within the Government.
Onashile also made a case for quantity surveyors to be mandated and allowed to undertake cost management of projects of all forms on behalf of Government, among others.

Nicholas took delivery of a sweet cherrywood kit and man do they look nice but the sound... Stay tuned because as soon as we get audio/video it's going up!...
Born in Albuquerque, NM and raised in Southern Colorado - Nicholas has had the opportunity to play with several great jazz artists. Playing music since he was 5 - Nicholas played Tenor Sax, Piano and Marimba but eventually found his voice on the drums. Focusing mostly on Jazz and being heavily influenced by artists such as Chick Corea and John Coltrane - Nicholas has used his playing as a vehicle to perform across the US and parts of Europe. Nicholas is focused on bringing The Delbert Anderson Trio's musical perspective to the Jazz scene.
Check out his band DAT
But hey, first impressions... says Nicholas:
The quality of their drums are amazing - not only are Bernie Stone (Owner and founder) and Kenton Snyder (Artist Relations) awesome guys...but what they've done with modernizing the Slingerland style of shell construction and vintage essence is amazing. They're truly artisan drums....these guys actually make the shells and work on the entire kit from the ground up....not just buying shells from Keller and slapping on some tube lugs like a lot of boutique drum guys are doing.

NLP Communication Model
Shashank Nakate
Jul 22, 2020
A communication model, which explains the neuro-linguistic process of assimilation of information into thoughts by the human brain, is known as the NLP communication model.
Neuro-linguistic programming, is defined by the Oxford dictionary as, "
a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them."
And also "a system of alternative therapy based on this, which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior.
The Model
The human brain or the nervous system, receives a huge amount of information, around 2 million bits per second. However, only 7 bits are consciously 'assimilated' in a period of one second. The information is processed, after which, it affects the thoughts, physiology, and behavior.
When the information enters the mind, it is filtered and either deleted, distorted, or generalized. Generalization of the information takes place due to the effect of ideas, values, memories, and beliefs that are already present in our mind. Based on these memories, ideas, or values, an internal representation of the information is formed.
This representation has an impact on the physiology, which further guides behavior. Changes taking place in the behavior are reflected in the form of posture, body language, and facial expressions.
Assumptions in NLP
Assumption 1
The sensory organs help us collect information from our surroundings. This information passes through many filters such as values, beliefs, thoughts, etc. and forms a map of the world around us. This picture or map is actually a reflection of our mind and not reality.
Assumption 2
Many a time, the efforts we put into a task don't yield the desired results. The feeling that results from the inability to perform the task is generally termed by the mind as failure. However, the result which is perceived to be a failure is actually a feedback of the past programming of our mind.
Thus, failure is just a state of mind. One has to constantly change the way he/she performs tasks in order to avoid failure. If one doesn't change the thought process, the feedback obtained will be redundant.
Assumption 3
Thoughts have a huge impact on the end result of the efforts we put in our work. The perception one has about reality, will always come true for that particular person. For him, the truth will be in the form of his perception.
Assumption 4
Every single person has the resources to bring about desirable changes in his thoughts and behavior. Thus, it is possible to change the thought process by means of the resources present within.
People who suffer from depression can benefit from the therapy, which is based on the NLP model. These people can learn to filter out negative emotions and thoughts in order to deal with depression. If the treatment being used is such that it takes into account the assumptions mentioned here, it can definitely help in speedy recovery.
The NLP communication model is used in hypnotherapy, cognitive therapy, and occupational therapy, in the treatment of mental problems. Therefore, the model has proved to be useful in dealing with many problems related to mental health.

Remember this poem by Emily Dickinson?
"'Hope' is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I've heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me."
I think of this often when things look dark. I am always amazed by how much hope can fill a human soul, even faced with everything the world can hurl at it. It is too easy to feel the crush of the worst side of people instead of the good.
At these times I try hard to remember that everyone has a story, a grief, a hurt, a feeling that they are not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough or whatever it is they hold in their heart.
The REAL truth is that everyone is here for a purpose and a reason. Even if it takes all of our lives to figure out what our own mission is, we are meant to be here at this time.
This is why it is imperative that we remember all that is good and hopeful and kind and loving, even if we don't see it around us. The smile you give a stranger may be the only one they see all day.
I follow the Kindness Blog, and enjoy the many stories of hope, love and kindness. Just reading one or two inspires me to initiate hope, gratitude and love.
During this season of Christmas, keep your eyes and ears open for hope; it is all around us. Believe it; it is there, just waiting for us to notice it.

A molten core catcher is being installed at the Rooppur NPP in Bangladesh.
The installation of a molten core catcher, a device meant to curb the effects of a nuclear meltdown, in the unlikely event of its occurence, began at the site of the Russian-designed Rooppur NPP Unit 1 in Bangladesh.
The molten core catcher is a unique safety device developed by Russian nuclear engineers. Its cone-shaped body is placed under the reactor pressure vessel and filled with a special material, which mixes up with the reactor core materials in case of a meltdown.
The catcher is the first piece of large-size equipment (about 200 tons) to be installed in the reactor building. The installation is scheduled to be completed within half a year.
For reference:
Rooppur NPP with two VVER-1200 reactors and the total capacity of 2400 MW is being constructed under the Russian design, in accordance with the General Contract, signed on 25 December 2015. Atomstroyexport, the Engineering Division of Rosatom State Corporation, is implementing the project as the General Contractor.
The "first concrete" ceremony for Unit 1 took place on November 30, 2017, marking the beginning of main construction phase. The "first concrete" ceremony for the Unit 2 was held on July 14 of the current year.
Each stage of Roopur NPP construction is stringently monitored by IAEA and the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority (BAERA).

Zoo Palast
TripinReality is about one's journey through states of consciousness. The protagonist of the story is the user, who is able to experience meditative states translated to surroundings as the cycles progress.
The experience runs through 5 cycles of different music and shapes, with each cycle lasting around 2 minutes. As the experience progresses the relaxing sound components gradually increase, consisting of synthesized binaural beats, white noise and heartbeat sounds.
During development, the project was always led with a sound-design first approach.
WerbeWeischer and Nqyer Media had the idea for this innovative approach they call "Compositions of Music and Visuals" (CMV): combining the technological advantages of a movie theater and its high-end sound installations with the immersive effects of Virtual Reality.
TripinReality is the pilot project and had its world premier at November, 16th, in the traditional Berlin cinema ZooPalast. 150 people could experience the journey all synced to the same frame and music from the cinema's 7.1 speakerset. The GearVR headsets were provided by Samsung.
TripinReality is the result of a collaboration between WerbeWeischer, Nqyer Media, XRBASE Berlin, SNG Hamburg, EvrBit (syncing of GearVR headsets and cinema audio system) and Future Candy.
Concept and art direction was done by XRBASE's co-founder Sara Lisa Vogl.
The visuals were created by Vladimir Ilic AKA VRHuman.
Robo Ruud was responsible of the audiovisual landscape, audio-reactive animation, camera work and rendering.
Music and samples were produced by SNG Hamburg.

What Have We Learned From Market Design?
NBER Working Paper No. 13530
This essay discusses some things we have learned about markets, in the process of designing marketplaces to fix market failures. To work well, marketplaces have to provide thickness, i.e. they need to attract a large enough proportion of the potential participants in the market; they have to overcome the congestion that thickness can bring, by making it possible to consider enough alternative transactions to arrive at good ones; and they need to make it safe and sufficiently simple to participate in the market, as opposed to transacting outside of the market, or having to engage in costly and risky strategic behavior. I'll draw on recent examples of market design ranging from labor markets for doctors and new economists, to kidney exchange, and school choice in New York City and Boston.

Driven & Co. Ep: 18 – From Video Games to Reality
Nate Martin, Co-founder and CEO of PuzzleBreak, talks with host Justin Gray about his childhood dream to make video games, lessons learned from his first startup, & advice for people considering entrepreneurship.
Can you explain the escape-the-room concept?
At a high level, these are rooms where groups of players—friends, family, strangers or co-workers—are trapped. They have a set amount of time, usually an hour, to work together to find hidden clues and solve puzzles to unravel a mystery and escape that room before time runs out.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
The only thing I ever wanted to do was make video games.
There's a huge market for that. Did that come to the light of day?
I actually went to the DigiPen Institute of Technology, which had a focus on making video games. After that, I went to work for Microsoft. Over my seven years I got promoted a number of times, but was still eight levels away from the CEO. If I ever wanted to become a C-level executive, I was going to have to live to be about 250 years old. I realized that if I really wanted to be master of my own destiny and take the helm of my own enterprise, I would have to do it myself.
What came next?
After Microsoft, I was an executive at Electronic Arts, which was actually a video game company. This was in 2013. A bit of context: the escape-the-room concept was originally almost a genre of video game. So purely by coincidence, one day my future co-founder and I discovered that people were doing this in real life. She was living in Seattle and I had spent many years in Seattle and it was like, "We have to do this in Seattle. This would be a huge hit."
Puzzle Break is not your first entrepreneurial adventure, correct?
I had another startup for about 10 minutes. We made every mistake you can make, but it was an explosion of learning. It's worth mentioning I can't point to a product or service that's running today that came of my 10 minutes there.
If you could rewind and give yourself advice at the beginning of your career, what would you tell yourself?
Probably the most actionable information that I would tell myself as soon as I leapt into the entrepreneurial arena, is just, "Ready. Fire. Aim." Don't spend too much time in the proverbial basement creating what you think people want until you can actually talk to them with a product in hand.
Do you have advice for someone considering doing something on their own?
There's a lot of awesome stuff about running your own business and figuring it out as you go. But there is a lot of stuff about having a reliable and nice day job that a lot of folks take for granted. There's a lot you miss when you become an entrepreneur, from the safety net to the hours, to the social thing. Also, if you're an entrepreneur who is having some success but you're hating life and you're hating this lifestyle, there's no shame in figuring out you only want a side-hustle and that's it. In other words, don't assume that the famous entrepreneurial stories out there are nothing but roses. Because I can assure you that they are not.

Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♐ Sagittarius later.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1854" and ∠1938".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2068 after 22 days on 18 March 2068 at 22:56.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 21 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 842 of Meeus index or 1795 from Brown series.
Length of current 842 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 53 minutes. It is 39 minutes longer than next lunation 843 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 18 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠348.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠3.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
6 days after point of apogee on 18 February 2068 at 20:46 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 3 March 2068 at 18:11 in ♓ Pisces.
Moon is 386 651 km (240 254 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 7 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 356 802 km (221 706 mi).
13 days after its descending node on 11 February 2068 at 13:12 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 26 February 2068 at 04:49 in ♐ Sagittarius.
26 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
13 days after previous North standstill on 12 February 2068 at 08:19 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠22.052°. Next day the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-21.894° in the next southern standstill on 27 February 2068 at 02:59 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 7 days on 3 March 2068 at 23:38 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.

The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its activities through its teaching, research and the day to day operations.
A commitment to sustainable development is highlighted in UCA's Strategic Plan 2013-18. Strategic leadership responsibility for Sustainability is held by the Vice Chancellor (VC) and operational responsibility is held by the Director, Estates & Facilities (E&F).
A University Sustainability Officer (SO) was appointed in 2016 as part of the Estates & Facilities team. The main job function of the SO is 'to act as the University champion in promoting sustainability and sustainable management techniques through the development and implementation of University-wide environmental and sustainability policies, practices and management systems'.
The SO reports progress and seeks input on the Sustainability Programme at Campus Operations Group Meetings and submits papers to the University Leadership Team for review and approval. The annual report is submitted for review and approval to the University Audit and Risk Committee and is reported to the Board of Governors.
The Sustainable Travel Group (STG), chaired by the SO, was formed in 2018, to develop Sustainable Travel Plans at each campus to reduce the environmental impact of staff and student travel. STG membership includes staff from Estates & Facilities, Human Resources, Health & Safety and a representative from the Students Union.
In 2014/15 The Learning and Teaching Committee, began a programme of academic support and development to incorporate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in all UCA courses.
A survey of UCA students in 2015 found that 72% of students wanted to learn more about sustainability and three fifths of students were amenable to the inclusion of sustainability issues in their courses.
Since 2014/15, UCA's Learning and Teaching Committee has held responsibility for developing plans for the integration of Education for Sustainable Development in all course curricula over a two-year period. Addressing the challenges of Sustainable Development is one of eight commitments related to all courses that is highlighted in the Creative Education Strategy (Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy).
The Centre for Sustainable Design® was established in 1995 at UCA Farnham and is led by Martin Charter, Professor of Innovation and Sustainability. The Centre has undertaken a wide range of international, national and regional research on sustainability, innovation and design - please see www.cfsd.org.uk/research. Current research interests include grassroots innovation and the emergence of community-centred workshops, the Circular Economy, eco-innovation and SMEs, and the development of localised innovation solutions utilising materials from waste plastic fishing nets and ropes, based in North Atlantic fishing communities - see www.circularocean.eu for more details.
Students Union
In June 2018, UCA Students' Union (UCASU) took part in the National Union of Students (NUS) Green Impact awards and were presented with a 'Very Good' Award in recognition of achievements in sustainability. This award recognises improvements since 2016, when the UCASU received a Bronze award under the previous grading scheme for NUS's Green Impact Awards.
Carbon Emissions
UCA's third Carbon Management Plan was approved in 2016 and sets out plans to achieve a 37% reduction in absolute carbon emissions by 2019/20 compared to 2005 levels.
UCA met this target three years early at the end of academic year 2016/17, reducing absolute annual carbon emissions (CO2e) from energy consumption by over 37% compared to its 2005 baseline.
Progress has continued in 2017/18 with carbon emissions from energy consumption in buildings at 3,429 tonnes, exceeding the 2020 target by 483 tonnes. Emissions in 2017/18 were 12% lower than emissions in 2016/17 and 44% lower than the 2005 baseline of 6,188 tonnes.
Based upon current expectations UCA is projected to exceed its Carbon Emissions target and reduce absolute carbon emissions by 48% by 2019/20 (3,129 tonnes) compared to its 2005 baseline (6,188 tonnes).
Improvements in energy efficiency have significantly reduced carbon intensity (the weight of carbon emissions per square meter of internal area) from 75 kgCO2e/m2 in 2008/09 to 49 kgCO2e/m2 in 2017/18.
According to an independent league table (BriteGreen) of 127 English Universities, UCA is ranked 26th for percentage reduction in absolute carbon emissions between 2005 and 2015/16, and 7th for percentage reduction in carbon intensity (kgCO2e/m2).
A renewable energy source (solar photovoltaic panels) was commissioned at the Epsom campus in 2012 and in Farnham solar panels commissioned in 2017 generated two megawatt hours of electricity in 2017/18. Investment in renewable energy sources has continued, with additional solar PV installation at Farnham due to be commissioned in January 2019. There are also plans to install more solar PV and a combined heat and power system at Farnham in 2021.
Recycling schemes operate on all campuses and directly-managed student residences, and food waste composting and collection services operate at UCA Farnham and UCA Epsom. In addition surplus used office furniture is donated to causes local to campuses. In 2017, nearly 200 items of office furniture were donated to local charities in Farnham, including the Scouts, local residential care homes and a school.
The total weight of waste collected at our four campuses in 2017/18 is estimated at 577 tonnes (346 tonnes general waste and 231 tonnes of recyclables), a 10% increase compared to the previous year. The proportion of total waste recycled in 2017/18 has remained unchanged from the previous year at around 40% of total waste.
In December 2016, the University began to transition from a number of existing waste service contracts at each campus to one consolidated waste service provider across all four campuses. The transition to Suez Waste Services will be complete by February 2019. The new waste services are provided to the University under the South Coast Affinity Group (SCAG) agreement, which has provided services to seven other universities in the region. As part of the SCAG agreement UCA shares the ambition of diverting waste away from landfill for reuse and recycling.
A staff & student car sharing community UCA Liftshare was launched at all campuses in 2018 to reduce the impact of commuting by car.
A Sustainable Travel Plan was developed for Farnham campus in spring 2018. Plans for other campuses will be completed in 2019.

TUNE Table Scraps - Sick Of Me
- Stream
Table Scraps release 'Sick Of Me' via Zen Ten on 17th November taken from forthcoming album 'Autonomy' (due early 2018).
Hailing from Birmingham, Table Scraps create black-hearted garage punk which fully embraces the good, the bad and the ugly of rock 'n' roll's twisted lineage and various mutations.
The band's entire output is self-produced with a no-compromise approach; having spawned a string of well-received 7" singles and an LP, this extends to perfecting their chaotic and reverb-drenched live shows. The trio have held their own alongside Fat White Family, IDLES and Yak, as well as being hand-picked to open for The Stranglers, Buzzcocks and The Glories.
Table Scraps will play: September: The Victoria London (23rd), Redrum Stafford (25th), Sticky Mike's Frog Bar Brighton (w/Madonnatron) (29th) October: La Mécanique Ondulatoire Paris (6th), The Lock Tavern London (7th). More TBA.

Member Credit: Bryan Tisch
I had a custom "y pipe" for my older white Maxima. In actuality, it is an "f" pipe that aids in the exiting of exhaust. Unlike a true Y pipe, the rear manifold exit drops down straight into the pipe from the front manifold. The exhaust gas is freer flowing and it certainly made a difference, but not as much as the true Y pipe.
I did things differently with my black car. I wanted it to be faster and more responsive than the white Maxima and I have accomplished that. I installed the Cattman Y pipe. It is a completely bolt-on piece that was not terribly difficult to install. I recommend taking the time and soaking all the bolts/nuts prior to taking them off. You will also need to purchase exhaust gaskets, which are also shown in my installation pictures below.
In comparing the pipes, you can see how the flow is impeded in the stock pipe. Also note that the Cattman pipe has a longer drop from the front manifold. I believe this causes a problem with the pipe hitting the sway bar. Also note how the stock pipe drops a bit in order to get to the Catalytic converter, this just goes to show you that the stock pipe sits higher. If the Cattman pipe would have incorporated these two things I mentioned, it would have plenty of clearance from the sway bar. I believe Warpspeed performance solved this aggravating problem.
Tools you will need:
1. Metric Socket set (some SAE may actually work though, as I found out for my front catalytic converter bolts)
2. Metric wrenches (to reach up in some of the more difficult bolts
3. Breaker bar (at least an 18 inch socket wrench as these bolts are tough to take off)
4. Liquid Wrench spray (or a similar product- I used a synthetic Valvoline product)
5. 3 gaskets (two for the manifold connections, and the other for the catalytic converter.
5. Goggles! (else you'll get all kinds of crap in your eye)
6. A light for under the car
7. Duct tape and aluminum foil if it hits your sway bar after your done (because of a soft rear motor mount)
8. A jack and jack stands
Here's the pipe and the gaskets I used.
Step1 : Patrick using the lubrication. Valvoline synthetic lubricant was used to loosen all bolts. My advice is to let them soak on the bolts for a few hours prior to trying to remove them. This will make your job much easier.
Step 2: Yours truly, taking off the shields and brackets. At this point, the jack in the picture is a backup in case my jack stands fail, don't worry, no upward weight on the transmission there.
Step 3 : Using the breaker bar to take off the Catalytic converter bolts.
Step 4: Loosened those nuts on front manifold.
Step 5: Instead of taking this bracket off like the most of you probably did, I took my electric hacksaw and sawed off the end of it, giving the Y pipe just enough room. Note how the bracket will work with the crossmember and help absorb an impact if I hit something low. Pictured is me holding the piece that I cut off.
Step 6 : Note that the Y pipe is protected both by the bracket and the cross member. I was lucky to get one that did not hang lower than the cross member. However, the sway bar problem that I have and that I mentioned in my FAQ's could have been avoided if this drop wasn't so severe. It looks like there is plenty of clearance now, but the car/engine is jacked up somewhat. This is how it should have been!
Step 7 : The finished product, before hooking up the catalytic converter hangers.
The result? A lot more power between 3000 and 4500 rpm, however, the pipe hangs too low and vibrates on the sway bar during moderate to heavy acceleration. I ended up passively fixing the problem by padding the sway bar. In addition to my padding of the sway bar, I had to dent the pipe a little bit.

We are pleased to say we're now in a position where points from the 2018 competitions are starting to be added to the website, and all will hopefully be put on in the coming days and weeks.
As a quick reminder, please ensure ALL the information put on C2 racing forms is completely accurate. The validation checks now in place are more comprehensive than they used to be, meaning 99.9% of errors will be picked up, and may result in the loss of points for an individual dog, or an entire team ... and none of us want that!
As a quick clarification - please make sure the team captain's details entered on the c2 match that of the registered team captain for that team (which may be different to your overall 'club' captain if you've specified as such).

Last Thursday, the Bexley Farmers' Market held its last day of sales for the season. Since May, the citizens of Bexley have gone to the market every Thursday for fresh foods and treats.
In honor of the market's eighth season, several vendors discussed their experiences and what the market means not just to them, but also the Bexley community as a whole.
The market was set up along South Dawson Avenue, which is practically a three-minute walk from the heart of Capital's campus. Dawson Avenue is mainly brick road, which aesthetically contributed to the overall experience of exploring the market. Seeing all the stalls peddling various goods down the brick road can make anyone feel that they're in a traditional marketplace.
Among the stalls that sell traditional market foods such as fruits and vegetables, there were also some interesting ones that were tailored to specific products and customer wants. For instance, one stall ran under the name of Tie Dye Larry, which was run by the husband-and-wife team of Larry and Laura Todd. Products included tie-dye shirts and colorful jewelry, along with the classic little treats known as "buckeyes," which of course look similar to the famous state nut.
"My buckeyes have gone well with the Capital students, and his tie-dyes always do," Laura Todd said.
Some other savory treats that were available for purchase in the market were mini doughnuts. A food truck was completely dedicated to preparing and cooking the dough from scratch. Customers had the opportunity to choose the seasonal flavor of pumpkin spice, and could also fancy up their doughnuts with toppings that included powdered sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate syrup. Eating warm doughnuts on a chill, fall day is the perfect combination.
Another stall that was present was Ohio City Pasta, which specializes in the creation of fresh pastas, raviolis, and sauces. Greg Hriczo was the vendor here, and explained that the small business had been participating in the market for several years now. For him, markets like this mean a lot to small businesses.
"It's a good place to support local small businesses," said Hriczo. "A lot of vendors here come from within a 50-mile radius."
Farmers' markets are indeed a good way to support local producers, but they also serve as a great resource for local residents. Barry Keller, a vendor selling SaraBee Pure Honey products, elaborated on this.
"I think for Bexley, it's a great neighborhood market," Keller said. "It allows people to be able to walk to the market and find fresh produce, pure honey, baked goods, jams, and coffee. Residents can come and get their favorite things weekly."
The importance and popularity of the market can definitely show in its average customer base that arrive every Thursday. Jaime Moore, who has been coordinating this event for several years now, mentioned the amount of people they can usually expect to see.
"We have always been impressed by the crowd here in Bexley," said Moore. "Short of a day like today when it gets a little cold and chilly, but usually we can see anywhere from 4,600 customers a day."
Among all the customers at the market was first-year Capital student Hannah Singleton. Singleton was attending the market with a group of friends and talked about her experiences there.
"It's been fun, it's been interesting, and you know, it's neat to see all the local things that people do. It's nice to support locally."

STOCKTON — For many people a visit to the dentist brings with it a fear of searing pain or the dread of the high-pitched sound of drill meeting ailing tooth.
But Jerry Elliott suffered no such phobia Saturday morning. In fact, he was eager for a visit to a dentist's chair, with good reason.
The 14-year-old Elliott said that until Saturday, he had felt embarrassed to smile because of the condition of his teeth. He hadn't been to a dentist in at least five years.
"My teeth were not looking good," Elliott said. "I had a bunch of holes in my teeth. And now I don't."
Saturday was National Children's Dental Access Day.
In Stockton, this meant that for the 17th consecutive year, the San Joaquin Dental Society provided free treatment to about 100 children up to 17 years old in the dental clinic at St. Mary's Dining Room.
A total of about 80 dentists and hygienists donated their time to provide cleanings, fill cavities and even perform root canals for their young patients, at no cost.
"This is important because in California, 54 percent of our kindergartners have decay," said Lodi dentist Dr. Anisha Ranchhod, a member of the San Joaquin Dental Society board of directors and chairwoman of Saturday's "Give Kids A Smile" event.
"In San Joaquin County … 28 percent of our (child) population don't go to a dentist. It's important to have these kinds of events so they are getting access to care. Even if it's not regular care, at least we're putting them in touch with the right care providers."
Give Kids A Smile is a national program of the American Dental Association. According to data provided by the San Joaquin Dental Society, about $35,000 in free dental services were provided during Saturday's event in Stockton.
The condition that leads to cavities is the most prevalent chronic disease among elementary school children, according to the American Dental Society, with the economically disadvantaged disproportionately affected.
"We see the underserved here," Dr. Lester Low, one of the dentists on hand Saturday, said as he stood in the bustling clinic.
Dr. Mickey Samra, an orthodontist, said, "We have a large need."
Melissa Andrade, who is Jerry Elliott's mother, said she made sure to arrive early for Saturday's free clinic. She said she, and many other working parents, struggle to provide dental care for their children.
The problem, she said, is that many parents' incomes may be too high to qualify for Medi-Cal but not enough to afford dental insurance.
"When they offer something like this, that's great," Andrade said as she stood outside Saturday's clinic. "(Jerry) has been waiting for a long time. He's been feeling very self-conscious with his teeth because he had some decay in the front to where he didn't want to smile."
By late Saturday morning, though, Jerry was happily displaying a toothy grin.
"It wasn't scary or anything," he said. "I was pretty much smiling the whole time."
