Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan Development
In 2014, the Vancouver City Council started the process of creating a new strategic plan for the City. From March-May 2014, the Council held four "strategy sessions" to identify high-level goals that would serve as the foundation for a strategic planning process.
The goal of the strategy sessions was to review, refine and verify the City's vision for the community. The Council began by identifying their shared values and vision for the community, defining what excellent leadership looks like, and discussing what they would like their legacy to be. Strategy sessions also included an environmental scan, looking at the City's purpose, inputs, outcomes, feedback loops, etc.
The strategic planning sessions were a starting point to explore answers to important questions like:
- What kind of city do we want to be?
- What do we want for our future?
- What are the most pressing issues and challenges our community will face in the next 5-10 years?
- What should our priorities be?
Work on development of the new strategic plan continued throughout 2015, and included outreach and engagement with the community. The plan was completed in early 2016.
"What's Next Vancouver?" Community Survey
In summer 2015, more than 2,200 people took the "What's Next Vancouver?" visioning survey, which will be used to help shape the plan.

- Community survey results highlights (PDF)
- Community survey preliminary results (PDF)
Partner Forum
In September 2015, the City hosted a forum with representatives from local organizations, groups and agencies that regularly partner with the City to review the recent survey results and discuss how these organizations might be able to help make the community's vision for the future of Vancouver a reality.

We have long been bullish of the Euro against both the Sterling and the Dollar. Their longterm patterns have been demanding long Euro positions since December 2007 (v the British Pound) and last September 2007 (v the Dollar). The problem has been timing: getting long in the short-term. But now we think the time is ripe - in both cases.
click charts to enlarge
We are already long the Euro in our Key Trades portfolio.
The Macro Trader's View
After several months of frustrating range-trading, currency markets have finally received the short-term trigger they need to reconnect with their underlying long-term trend. In the Euro zone, data has begun to weaken over recent months and has led the ECB to abandon previous plans for higher rates, even though Euro zone inflation stands currently at 3.2% and risks moving higher.
The ECB recognize this risk, which is mainly driven by higher oil prices and dearer food prices - a problem that looks likely to exert further upward pressure on inflation over the coming months - but they now judge that the downside risks to growth outweigh those concerns and have hinted that interest rates could soon ease to help support the economy. However, compared to the US and even the UK, the Euro zone still looks the best of the bunch, with German IFO released earlier this week coming in at a stronger than expected 104.1.
In the UK, growth is expected to slow this year led by a housing market correction and an expected consumer slowdown:
The housing market correction is clearly underway, with only its severity up for debate, But the consumer, for now, refuses to lie down (as evidenced by last week's stronger than expected retail sales report, although these were likely driven by deep discounts).
This has led the Bank of England to believe it will only need to ease policy minimally; 2 x 25bp rate cuts by year end as the MPC are still more concerned about the path of inflation, at least over the short term.
But over in the US, the origin of most of the global economy's current woes, the picture is becoming bleaker:
The latest GDP data; Q4 was only 0.6% on an annualised basis, given the margin for error that could easily be flat.
The housing market continues to slump with little end in sight, Bond insurers remain in need of additional capital, although several have had their credit ratings affirmed.
The Labour market is looking increasingly weak as jobless claims are starting to gyrate towards the 375k level.
This has led the Fed to aggressively cut interest rates, and only this week Bernanke has indicated the Fed can and will do more. The Dollar has weakened on this news as inflation remains a problem, which US policy-makers acknowledge, but for now are unable to tackle as they seek to support growth; but given the downside risks to the economy, their fingers are crossed that inflation pressures will gradually abate.
The market is not in a generous mood and talk of stagflation in the US abounds and renders the Dollar weakened.
The main beneficiary in all of this is the Euro. Even though the Bank of England is taking a tougher stance on inflation than the Fed, traders judge the MPC will make the same error it made in summer 2007:
1. Failed to appreciate the severity of the liquidity crisis
2. Acted too late.
This time they are failing to recognize that a weakening economy, driven by a housing market correction, will be a powerful force bearing down on inflation; by the time they realize their error, policy makers will be way behind the curve and desperate to catch up.
In summary, the Euro looks the stronger option of the three.

NIST rocks!
That's what a group of Dickinson College earth science students and their professor thought after visiting the Gaithersburg, Md., campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology on Tuesday, April 15. Jennifer Marshall, homeland security manager in the NIST Office of Special Programs, invited the group to explore science career options. Marshall, a geology graduate of Dickinson College, arranged for the students to speak with several NIST scientists whose work involves chemical analysis of rock and mineral materials.
The students, accompanied by Benjamin Edwards, Dickinson associate professor of earth sciences, spent about five hours Tuesday, April 15, visiting NIST labs, meeting NIST scientists and learning how the chemistry of rocks and minerals is relevant to real-world challenges.
Their lab visits included question and answer sessions with:
- Paul Stutzman, who specializes in measuring microstructural properties of cement and concrete, and whose work is critically important to the building industry;
- Jennifer Verkouteren, who works on measurement methods for explosive materials and narcotics and has done work on asbestos analysis, techniques that are necessary in public safety and health;
- Robert Vocke, whose work on measuring pure silicon could help redefine the international standard for the kilogram;
Mark Tyra, who works on measurement standards for nuclear forensics – the analysis of radioactive bomb components to accurately identify their source and ultimately those responsible for radiological terror plots;
Jerome LaRosa and Svetlana Nour, who are making measurements of radiation in Japanese and Korean rice, work that will help assess the impact of the 2011 Fukushima, Japan, nuclear disaster; and
Jacqueline Mann, who also works on measurement standards for nuclear forensics, particularly on measurements of radiation in debris from a nuclear explosion.
After touring laboratory facilities, the group saw the NIST Test Stonewall, which NIST scientists use to study the effects of weathering on stone building materials. The wall contains more than 2300 samples of stone from 47 U.S. states and 16 foreign countries.
The students also stopped by the NIST Robotics Test Facility to see a test underway. The facility allows manufacturers and users of emergency-response and industrial robots to evaluate their performance on a variety of tasks and obstacles.
"The traditional path for geology majors is a career as a professor in academia or as a geologist for an energy company," says Marshall, "In reality, there are many other options including in federal laboratories such as NIST. This visit was an opportunity for them to think more broadly about career options and to make them aware of how federal science laboratories perform vital public service."

This CNC toaster puts art to bread. It actually works like a printer but instead of using an ink it uses a hot air gun mounted to a computer-controlled x-y control system to blast the bread as a result creating a wonderful art design pattern. Check our video to see the printer in action.
Implications - Printing on food has emerged as an innovative way to personalize edible goods and market a product. This particular printer can blast a custom design onto a piece of toast, but similar examples also infuse patterns into coffee and beer foam, pancakes and crepes. Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by printing their logo onto edible treats, perhaps for a promotional giveaway.

It's often amazing what you find while you are looking for something else. Last week while following a bunch of links from my referral logs I can across a PDF of a presentation deck by Andrew Tanenbaum. Now Professor Tanenbaum is one of the great names in computer science education. He's an ACM Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, and winner of many awards including the 1997 ACM CSE award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education. It appears that the presentation I found was the one he gave when accepting that award. And it is brilliant.
You can find the paper here and I recommend looking at it. It may be ten years old but it is not really dated in any way that matters. In fact it is that he sticks to principles not fact and follows the rules in his talk that it stands up so well. What are his ten golden rules?
- Think long term
- Emphasize principles, not facts
- Expect paradigm shifts
- Explain how things work inside
- Show students how to master complexity
- Computer science is not science (He is of the school that says it is engineering I talked about that debate here)
- Think in terms of systems
- Keep theory under control
- Ignore hype
- Don't forget the past
Look at the presentation where he elaborates on these points for added value of course. These "rules" work for me. I think that my teachers over the years have stuck to them pretty well. When I look back at my own teaching I think I was aware of most of these and tried to practice them. My undergraduate degree is in Systems so that was always part of my thinking. I'm not sure I always did a good job of teaching how to master complexity though. That is an area I think many of us need to work at.
I think this is a great list. What do you think? Anything missing? Anything that should be gone? Anything you don't agree with the way it is worded?
[Update: Check out this blog post with a great review of the list. ]

To my way of thinking, if you basically know what you are doing when
pruning, make proper types of cuts and the like, you won't really do
anything wrong. It's possible to have done better, but you won't have done
any harm.

The North Vancouver Wolf Pack are a junior "B" ice hockey team based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They are members of the Tom Shaw Conference of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League (PIJHL). The Wolf Pack play their home games at Harry Jerome Arena. Matt Samson is the team's president, general manager and coach. They are captained by left winger Garrett Woodside.
The team was founded in 2008 in Squamish, British Columbia as the Squamish Wolf Pack until relocating to North Vancouver in 2011.
Squamish Wolf PackEdit
After three consecutive unsuccessful seasons and never qualified to make the playoffs, the Squamish Wolf Pack relocated from Squamish, British Columbia to North Vancouver, British Columbia prior to the 2011-12 PIJHL season, to be renamed as the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, due to unsuccessful fan base, sponsorship, standings and statistics, as they only won six games in their last ever season (2010-11 PIJHL season).

A fabulous service with a quick delivery and competitive prices.
Fast delivery and easy checkouts !
Despite hearing excellent things about feel unique I was impressed with the prices however the delivery took 10 days to reach me from when I ordered. The people who had referred me told me the delivery was quick however this was not the case for me and would potentially put me off ordering again. Especially when needing a product fairly quick. Whenever I checked the delivery status it still said pending for a few days. I ordered something from another company on the Saturday and recieved it by the Monday morning which I was impressed with.
Quick delivery as usual
Products arrived very quickly
Usually feelunique provide a great service. However on this occassion, i paid extra for a quick delivery and the goods took longer to arrive than had i not paid the extra. Very disappointing. i buy a lot from this site so will stick with the normal free delivert option in future
Prompt service and excellent delivery!
its a fantastic way to get the products we women want it's afficiant reliable and easy. What more could we want.
Only complaint is that the polystyrene packaging was stuck to the bottle and so has left marks all over it when I had to rip them off. Not really a problem but would be if I'd wanted to give as a gift as looks awful. Otherwise great service and price and easy to use website.
Excellent service as always - am a regular customer now and will not got anywhere else!
cant fault this company brilliant service and very good prices almost always cheaper than others and free delivery on everything thats got to be the best .
Excellent service, good price and speedy delivery.
The website was easy to navigate, the order was easy to complete and the products arrived a couple of days later
I use Feelunique for most of my beauty buys and I am never disappointed. From the price to the delivery service and condition of my items, Feelunique are great every time.
Very good service, will use again.
Excellent prompt service as always!

GameRevolution's Top 25 PS2 Games Of All Time (Full List)
Posted on Friday, June 28 @ 15:00:00 PST by Alex_Osborn
20. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Much like Guitar Hero, the Tony Hawk series spawned a cultural phenomenon that expanded far beyond the hardcore. The inarguable best entry in the franchise is Pro Skater 3, which is regarded by many to be the greatest action sports game of all time. It's an absolute blast to play on your own, chasing high scores, or competing against your friends, trying to out-do your pals' greatest tricks. Regardless of whether or not you enjoy skateboarding, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is so much fun, you won't be able to resist.
19. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Of all the charming platformers on the PlayStation 2, the Ratchet & Clank series is easily one of the best, and the greatest of the franchise is hands-down Up Your Arsenal. With a slew of crazy awesome weapons to play with and upgrade, Insomniac's third entry in the Ratchet series is an absolute must for PlayStation fans. The game's cast of characters are super charming and well written, and the wonderful blend of platforming and combat was unparalleled at the time. If you're looking for an experience that will have you grinning from ear-to-ear from start to finish, look no further than Ratchet and his robotic buddy Clank.
18. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Ubisoft revitalized the Prince of Persia franchise in spectacular fashion with The Sands of Time. Thanks to some incredible action, a magical story, and a super awesome rewind time mechanic, Ubi's action-adventure was an absolute must-play at the time. The first time I ran on walls as the Prince, it was an absolute mind-blowing experience. In many ways, The Sands of Time laid the groundwork for action-adventure games to follow, and for that reason alone should be commended.
17. Devil May Cry
As far as pure action games on the PS2 are concerned, Devil May Cry takes the cake (or pizza in this case). Originally intended to be a Resident Evil game, DMC features plenty of horror elements, but unlike Capcom's scare-filled series, its claim to fame is its fast-paced sword and gun combat. Unlike anything else at the time, Devil May Cry's gameplay was insanely fluid and intuitive, which made its epic boss encounters all the more incredible. Anyone who claims to be a fan of action games should be required to play this genre-defining game.
16. Beyond Good & Evil
Serving as one of my favorite new IPs from the PS2 generation, Beyond Good & Evil holds a very special place in my heart. Michel Ancel and his team at Ubisoft managed to create a world rich with personality and character. The bold decision to center the game around a female photographer in wa world populated by a bunch of anthropomorphic creatures surprisingly paid off. The characters are great, the story is compelling, and the gameplay is serviceable enough to carry you through the entire experience without growing tired or frustrated. Now if only we could get a sequel...

Luke: Getting in
"GREAT!" Athena sighed, "Anyone have the key card?"
"Uh, I don't have a key card but I could make one...I think," I told her, "it would take me forever though, because I would have to make one of those hacking machines that finds the code first..." I trailed off.
Everyone looked at me, great I had made myself the center of attention, I really...dislike...being the center of attention, I'm weird that way. "I-I will also need to be able to concentrate, both of those are really complicated. I gave a little embarrassed smile. Then I searched for a big piece of rubble, I had discovered last time that I can't create extra matter, if I can only change it, so if I want to build something big, then I need to start out with something that is either really dense, or really big.
I finally found a piece that was probably big enough and immediately got to work. I knew that I could create food and water for everyone here however, that would leave me tired and useless for the rest of the day, and I would eventually start to get weaker and weaker and be able to create less and less food. So I had to crack this code...it's a good thing I payed attention in science and ICT class! People eventually got bored watching me slowly put together the machine and drifted off; everyone that is, except Athena. She stayed, thoroughly and completely interested in how I was putting it together. She was constantly asking questions about where I should connect this wire and that. Every once in a while she would even correct me when I made a logical mistake in the wire placement.
Eventually I started to get a little worn out, it took a lot more energy to make complicated things like wires and machines, than it did to make, say, water, or food.
"Alright, I'll have to finish this tomorrow, meanwhile I can make something to hold us all off till then." I went about gathering chunks of rubble and placing them on plates that I made. Then I called everyone to me, "Alright everyone! come on over, it's dinner time!" I called. Well, now everyone knew for sure that I am American I thought to myself with a grin, cause I sure didn't sound British!
When people had sat down they looked at their plates, "We're going to eat rubble?" one of them asked.
"Ah no, you get to eat whatever you want to eat! I'm going to go around and I'll turn each person's pile of rubble into a food of their choice; however, please don't pick something that has a huge amount of ingredients or is really complicated as it will not only take longer, but also drains more energy from me." I smiled at them, then went around changing their piles of rubble into food. By the time I was finished I collapsed, exhausted, into a nearby room and fell asleep, to tired to make anything to eat myself.
The next morning I got up around seven AM to start to get back to work on the machine. Just before I started to get back to work, it hit me. How could I have been so stupid?! I thought to myself. I slapped myself in the head, causing an echo back and forth across the hallway.
I went up to the door and put my hand on its surface, feeling for the lock. When I found it, I just morphed the lock into more water. As the water dribbled down the door I pushed it open. Exulting in my success, and cursing my stupidity at the same time, it would have been so much easier if I had just done that in the first place.

Alex Awaken
"Alex?" A woman spoke, her voice soft and gentle. Soothing. The words were aimed at a sobbing heap lying face down on the bed how did not answer. Alex clenched his duvet firmer; he eyes were worn, tear drops had solidified down his face showing his grief. He knew that he should be able to control himself, he is an Except after all, he has been near death before and not broken down. Grief is a sign of weakness. Alex sobbed louder this time. He does not care; he thought he had lost David. He had always been there for him and now he is gone.
"Alex?" the woman asked again. He thought about answering for a moment, even opened his mouth, yet nothing came out. David appeared in his head; he stood tall, light brown eyes looking into the sky, weapon in his hands and his family around him. What family! He is dead and he is never going to get a family anymore. This got Alex to burst into tears again. David had been with him since childhood, nothing had stopped them, causing pranks and being normal misfit kids. Then they got a leaflet from school to join the army and both of them wanted to. That was that, they joined and they were very good, David became a pilot and Alex a first line infantry specializing in close combat and stealth, both of them excelled at this and became Excepts. This meant they were one of the best in the world and they were given missions to protect the free world along with the other Excepts in there group. They moved from war zone to war zone but recently they had been only in America. Fighting on home soil. They managed to make it so they were assigned together, a rarity, now look what happened. Twenty-three, such short a time to have a life, too young. More tears flowed down Alex's face.
"Alex?" the woman tried again. This time he answered loudly.
"What!" he screamed at her. She jumped back a little. She looked at him with sensitive eyes while making her way over to him sitting down on his bed. "What do you want Pinkie?" She now seemed incapable of speaking instead she placed her hand on his shoulders. Alex still faced away from her, lying on his bed, staring at the wall.
"I want you to be okay."
"David died yesterday and as did Tony, we don't even have David's body." Pinkie almost told him not to reach conclusions but she knew if he did not come back, the chances were slim that he was alive. "David died only twenty-four hours ago how am I meant to be okay?"
"I know it's hard. I know how much you cared for him but you know how quickly we work Alex, we are Excepts. We are people who are so skilled we are chosen to represent the world and everything we do is to help people. We however go to the worst places in the world and yes, death is usually a part of that. You know that Alex."
"We still don't have his body."
"We can still say goodbye to him." Pinkie sighed. She started rubbing his shoulders in an attempt to comfort him.
"I know but. I. I can usually. Usually." Alex tried to talk through tears all he wanted to do was cry. Part of him was stopping him from talking. His mouth had dried up and his stomach had filled with weights.
"Deal with everything."
"I have known him nearly twenty years." Alex looked up at her. "He's my best mate."
"We all lose friends in this line of work." Pinkie spoke slowly taking care to avoid him crying again.
"I know."
"And I am deeply sorry." she spoke with compassion to him.
"I know." Alex's voice had become sharper. Pinkie lent over him and placed her arm around him. He stayed still.
"I am here for you, if you wish to talk." Alex remained silent for a few moments before replying.
"Jenifer, I think that," Alex gulped, he did not know how to say it, "I think that I, I." Pinkie gave a little smile.
"It's okay you don't have to tell me." Alex pulled the duvet down with Pinkie's help, sat up, and looked into Pinkie's loving sapphire eyes. She has a thin face, a cute little chin and small ears with a petite nose. Her hands were about two-thirds of the size of his and she had a perfect little smile. She had wild hair spreading out in all directions, yet it looked great. A brilliant pink colour with purple streaks running through it that bedazzled him during usual circumstances. Her clothes clung to her skin showing off her curvy figure. Pinkie looked into Alex's dark blue eyes and saw sadness and pain. His short jet-black hair had a single white stripe running down either side; it had been messed up when he hid under his duvet. She gave another small smile before hugging Alex allowing him to cry on her shoulder.
"It'll be okay, it'll be okay."

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1614) Add next() and skipTo() variants to DocIdSetIterator that return the current doc, instead of boolean
|Wed, 27 May 2009 21:23:45 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1614?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12713748#action_12713748 ] Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1614: ------------------------------------ bq. BS2.nextDoc is still needing to check if it's supposed to call initCountingSumScorer? Can we do this in ctor? After I made add() private, created a ScorerClauseWrapper (in BQ) and passed to BS2 a list of SCW (to pass in one call Scorer, req, prohib), I couldn't still call initCountingSumScorer in the ctor. Then it reminded me that we've had this discussion before - it's related to being able to ask for topScorer() or not. Reason is, if I call initCount...() in the ctor, it advances the sub scorers. If the scorer is then used as a topScorer, they may be advanced again, if BS is used. So I thought, let's not call nextDoc() in BS's ctor, but that leads to other problems, since the scorers passed may have called nextDoc() themselves (DisjunctionSumScorer) or may not (ReqExclScorer). The decision back then was to leave it as-is, and handle it in LUCENE-1630, when we'll be able to ask for topScorer. What do you think? bq. Like what caused it to be added? Two lines below it, where it will be sent to Collector for collection, since it's < max. This hits AIOOBE for some Collectors. bq. I think the last patch would return NO_MORE_DOCS from docID() in ConjunctionScorer if it determines in ctor that no docs match Actually, now that you write it I do notice I broke that invariant in CS. If there is even one scorer that doesn't have any docs, lastDoc is already set to NO_MORE_DOCS and calling docID before nextDoc will return NO_MORE_DOCS and not -1. So I think it's a fair relaxation. Just to be clear - this is just a relaxation you're talking about right? This shouldn't affect any of the existing scorers. So if we're on the same page, I'll document that relaxation and remove the assert call I've added to IndexSearcher. But I don't think this should actually change scorers. > Add next() and skipTo() variants to DocIdSetIterator that return the current doc, instead of boolean > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1614 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1614 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Reporter: Shai Erera > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1614.patch, LUCENE-1614.patch, LUCENE-1614.patch, LUCENE-1614.patch, LUCENE-1614.patch, LUCENE-1614.patch > > > See http://www.nabble.com/Another-possible-optimization---now-in-DocIdSetIterator-p23223319.html for the full discussion. The basic idea is to add variants to those two methods that return the current doc they are at, to save successive calls to doc(). If there are no more docs, return -1. A summary of what was discussed so far: > # Deprecate those two methods. > # Add nextDoc() and skipToDoc(int) that return doc, with default impl in DISI (calls next() and skipTo() respectively, and will be changed to abstract in 3.0). > #* I actually would like to propose an alternative to the names: advance() and advance(int) - the first advances by one, the second advances to target. > # Wherever these are used, do something like '(doc = advance()) >= 0' instead of comparing to -1 for improved performance. > I will post a patch shortly -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

"Azerbaijan is suffering from brutal violation of international law, our historical lands of Azerbaijan have been occupied.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev stated during his speech at the forum co-organized by the Azerbaijan State Committee for Work with Diaspora, Nizami Ganjavi International Center titled "Building Trust in the Emerging World Order".
According to President of Azerbaijan, in documents of the UN and Helsinki Final Act are based on the principle of territorial integrity. But aggressive separatism is being continued.
"According to the documents, right of peoples to self-determination should not result in the violation of territorial integrity. Aggressive separatism is being continued. If Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was solved, we wouldn't have today seen new conflicts. On the base of the resolutions of the UN, as well decisions of the Council of Europe, Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Non-Aligned Movement,resolutions Azerbaijan strongly supports the resolution of the conflict within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

What is your favorite quote or saying?
Perfection can never be achieved, but if you don't aim for it, you'll never come close
What makes your specialties the right fields of medicine for you?
My passion for this profession is far less intellctual than it is emotional. In reconstructive surgery, the goal is not only to restore function, but also to repositition the tissue in such a way as to try and leave no sign you were there. In cosmetic surgery the aesthetic goal is to better nature; to restore what time has taken away. To achieve these goals requires an understanding of anatomy and physiology, but equally important is the imagination to solve the puzzle of reconstructive surgery, and the artistry to recognize what constitutes beauty for each individual to satisfy their goals. It is this marriage of science, art and surgical proficiency that resonates with my psyche. I do not believe there is a field in medicine that could possibly satisfy me as well.
Finish this sentence: If I weren't a doctor I would be___.
a Navy SEAL, CIA operative or professional mixed martial arts fighter.
Can you tell us in your own words what you consider a perfect outcome of a surgical procedure?
My passion for this profession is far less intellectual than it is emotional. I love the challenge of caring for reconstructive patients whose disease has left them with deformities that must be healed. It's like a puzzle to be solved. For cosmetic patients, I am drawn to their desire to look more youthful, to appear as vibrant on the outside as they feel on the inside. Their goals become my goals, their joy becomes my joy. I can't describe the wondrous feeling when I sense their sincere gratitude, receive cards and letters, and hugs and kisses. The truth is I am the one who is most grateful; that these patients have placed their trust in me is the ultimate compliment and responsibility. I love my work!
In a perfect world, when would you like to retire, where would you go and what would you do?
When I'm old enough to have achieved my professional aspirations, yet still young enough to pursue new ones. After retirement what will I do? Whatever my wife wants me to...

Nigel Fortune was one of the most authoritative musicologists and editors of his generation but, as a very modest man, he would have dismissed such a claim. Most of his life revolved round Birmingham, where he lived in the same house from the age of 10.
His connection with the University was crucial. He read Music and Italian there before going on to Cambridge where his PhD on 17th-century Italian monody was supervised by Thurston Dart, the influential scholar and performer at the start of the early music revival who became King Edward Professor at King's College, London. After leaving Cambridge, Fortune spent three years as Music Librarian at Senate House, University of London, before returning to Birmingham as a lecturer in the music department in 1959.
His career was notable for an unusually generous kind of collaborative work. With Denis Arnold, who became Heather Professor at Oxford, he edited and contributed to The Monteverdi Companion (1968, enlarged and reissued as The New Monteverdi Companion, 1985) and The Beethoven Companion (1971); with others he was a guiding spirit behind festschrifts honouring Sir Jack Westrup, Thurston Dart and Winton Dean. He also collaborated with Anthony Lewis, Professor at Birmingham for much of Fortune's time there, in book chapters as well as four volumes of The Works of Henry Purcell, which played a significant role in establishing the position of the major English composer. With Thurston Dart, Fortune edited John Dowland's Ayres for Four Voices (1953-63).
Fortune was a valued member of several important editorial committees including the Purcell Society, Musica Britannica and that of The New Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980). He was secretary of the Royal Musical Association from 1957-71 and then became a vice-president. From 1980 to 2008 he was co-editor of the influential journal Music and Letters. Edward Olleson has aptly described him as "an unchanging pillar in [the journal's] architecture while co-editors have revolved round him... the perfect choice and an ideal working partner" and summed up Fortune's dedication to the journal as "a period of outstanding and selfless contribution not only to Music and Letters but also to musical scholarship at large". Anyone who has submitted copy to the journal can confirm that he brought the highest standards to his dealings with written English. Being edited by him was invariably instructive since nothing sloppy was ever allowed to pass into print.
But citing Fortune's punctilious professional activities is very far from accounting for his whole personality. He was remarkably loyal to his students, maintaining an interest in their careers long after they had graduated. And about his friends and colleagues with Birmingham connections he was a mine of information, all recalled with the precision he brought to his scholarly concerns. Fortune's enthusiasms stretched far beyond the periods of his own musicological expertise. He went to concerts; was a supporter of the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group; and a regular visitor to festivals such as Aldeburgh and Presteigne. Overall he was remarkably well-informed and that included the latest developments in 20th-century music.
Further, Fortune was a committed citizen who played a part in local affairs. As it happened Clare Short, the MP for Birmingham Handsworth, moved into the house next door in 1997: they were already friends and he sometimes assisted her in her constituency surgeries. He always enjoyed news about his wide circle of acquaintances and appreciated those who kept in touch. He faced his final illnesses with exemplary fortitude that endeared him to all those who were caring for him.

It could of course have been painted by James Whistler, and Greaves's relationship to his master is the story of his artistic life. The sad fact is that he was enslaved by Whistler, and as much by the social man as by Whistler the teacher. We know that he had unusual native talent, especially if we believe Greaves's story that he painted the Tate's much-loved Hammersmith Bridge on Boat Race Day when he was 16. Parkin calls it 'the greatest primitive painting produced in England'. Maybe, but I learn from the Tate's conservation department that there has been a 'total repainting of some areas', so its degree of naivety, let alone its date, are undecided. In any case, when Greaves met Whistler there was no longer a chance that he could form his own style; primitive or not.
Artistic talent can come up anywhere. Walter Greaves and his brother Henry (also represented in this show) were Thames boatmen. That is, they built boats, ferried people around, scavenged from the tides, ran watery errands and, I guess, made their income from anything that came their way. Their father had also been in this business, and he had an artistic connection. The elder Greaves had been Turner's boatman in the old painter's final Chelsea days (and when Walter died in 1930 he must have been the last person to remember having seen Turner). So London's river was the family's life but the idea that an ordinary person could be an artist was not unusual to them.
The Greaves boys were drawing by the river one day when Whistler approached them and invited them to his studio. This was around 1860, when he was first in Chelsea. Whistler showed the brothers some drawing and painting techniques. They, in turn, not only did all his odd jobs but introduced him to the life of the river, its quays and taverns, and the entertainments of the neighbourhood.
Whistler's subject matter of Thames bridges and fireworks over the Cremorne pleasure gardens derive from their joint expeditions. The American artist was never precisely a Londoner; but he did have a feeling for the city, and this came from the Greaves family.
No date on any Greaves painting is reliable and Parkin wisely, does not attempt a chronological account of Walter's work. I suppose that in his earlier years as an artist he was a more competent draughtsman than a painter.
The drawing Approach to Old Battersea Bridge, probably from 1871, is a good and sturdy try at his subject. One still feels, as often with Greaves, that it might be better as an etching; the needle having just that bit more authority than the pencil. Authority is lacking in Greaves's first paintings, if we can assume that his portrait of Whistler is an early work. The picture is maladroit, yet something of Whistler's poise has entered his factotum's imagination. Alas, not enough. Sophistication and naivety can't be mixed.
Obviously, Greaves was more cowed when he attempted the portrait of another Chelsea neighbour, Carlyle, who despised art. Here's a picture in which the sitter has frightened his portraitist, and Greaves's painting must have been finished from memory, or from Whistler's portrait of the sage, or from a photograph. I find this daub touching, perhaps because I am one of the few people who read and relish Carlyle. However unlovable, he is a giant of our culture. Only his follower Ruskin had such a sense of the tragedy of the 19th century. And who beside Carlyle dared so much with the medium of English prose? Whistler, who scarcely ever read a book, could stand up to Carlyle. Greaves could not. Nor could he free himself from Whistler's personality. He was better as an artist when most obedient to his master's example. I love the little etchings and drawings of riverside pubs, the Adam and Eve, the Old Swan and the Black Lion. Yet the totally Whistlerian painting of Battersea Bridge is better as art and other paintings like Nocturne, Battersea Reach (apparently of 1917) would be more successful if closer to Greaves's only inspiration.
In my view Whistler was a bad teacher of art: he would not allow the humble Greaves to develop in his own way. Alas, Greaves himself was too modest a man to have taken his own course. Art aside, he imitatedWhistler's personal mannerisms and his style of dress. They were close, in a way, for 20 years. Whistler cut Greaves off when his own social milieu approached high society. Poor Greaves was terribly hurt and never recovered from his dismissal. He hawked drawings around the King's Road for the rest of his life, always miserably poor. Recently, some letters have turned up showing that Whistler continued to take Walter and Henry's sister Alice to his bed for years after he had cast her brothers aside. Parkin has some nice pictures of her. What was her own fate, in later life? I left this exhibition feeling a lot more for the Greaves family and liking Whistler even less than I did before.

TB. Palmer '79/80. When it does, it's nice. More often than not, it
doesn't. I've wondered if what I have is really the real thing. It's what
I bought and it more or less matches the description. If it's an imposter,
it fulfills the reputation of the cultivar. This is the most capricious TB
I grow. Sometimes it blooms with more contrast than other years - when it
deigns to bloom. The first time it did well was in a year when everything
else was miserable and not doing well. Good timing. It had already been
around long enough to made the list for relocation to someone's else's
property. That saved it. In subsequent years it does well occasionally,
but sulks the rest of the seasons. I can't say why it does or doesn't in
any given year.

Opponents of a plan to build a jet fuel pipeline out to Vancouver airport have suffered a setback.
A citizens' group called VAPOR had gone to court to try to quash the project's provincial environmental certificate.
They had argued the public was not properly consulted.
The project would ship fuel from the Fraser River, along a pipeline under Highway 99, out to YVR.
The group is now reviewing the decision and considering what to do next.

Onn Kee Claypot Seafood Porridge in Kuala Lumpur
Jalan Imbi Restaurants & Dining0
Onn Kee Claypot Seafood Porridge serves one of KL's best Chinese seafood porridges. Chinese porridge is similar to regular porridge but somewhat watery and bland: it is the accompanying dishes that really flavour it. Plus, since it is served in a claypot, the porridge is kept warm until the last spoonful.
It is a small stall but the area is clean and the food is very reasonably priced. There is such a varied range of accompanying dishes from fish, prawn and crab meat to egg, vegetables and more. Locals will tell you that yao char guai (a type of fried breadstick) is the perfect match to the dish.Read More

Current versions:
The small tool YoWindow displays the current and upcoming weather in a very special way.
This small tool shows you what the weather will be. But not just with a small display on the screen. No, the whole screen is used with YoWindow, and it seems that you would see when you look at the monitor out the window.
With YoWindow manufacturers had a great idea, with which their users what is happening outside a bit closer. This free tool displays the current weather is in full screen mode. First, you can choose a background image, and adjust your hometown. The current weather conditions and the temperature will be displayed then accompanied with lots of Nice animations. These include for example flakes of snow, wind, clouds and raindrops and sunshine. Also the changes reflect in the course of the day such as sunrise and sunset times, brightness and darkness in the picture.
Various additional information you can show friends with YoWindow and customize to your needs. As the air pressure, the wind chill temperature and humidity can appear next to the wind speed. And if you want even a second place such as your holiday destination can be Add. Also you can see the weather of the next three days with YoWindow. This is achieved via a timeline at the top of the screen.
In addition to the ability to use the tool in window mode, you can set it as a screen saver. So you're always, how the weather is or will be, if you don't work on the computer longer. In addition, it is possible to own convert images into the program to add and in just a few steps to a YoWindow landscape, which is integrated into the tool, and can display the current weather. How this is done is explained on the website YoWindow friends.
Especially bugs were fixed. The fixes were integrated into the version.

Fantasy baseball Hitting Report: White Sox hitting up a storm
We're only two weeks into the season, so the sample size is small, but so far, it's the White Sox that are setting the scoring pace in the American League. They lead the majors in scoring with 80 runs scored (14 percent more runs than Colorado, the second-highest scoring team). Chicago has the highest team batting average in the AL (.284), with the most home runs (18) and total bases (211). And all of this is coming as a huge surprise, after last season, when the Pale Hose were one of the worst offenses, despite playing in one of the most favorable hitting parks in the majors. Chicago was the lowest scoring team in the AL and their .680 OPS ranked 27th in the majors.
Obviously, the big question for fantasy baseball owners is whether this pace can be maintained, or at least, will it decline slightly or greatly?
Some of the major factors to their hot start are all new to the White Sox this season, including three of their first four batters in the lineup: Adam Eaton, Marcus Semien and Jose Abreu. Eaton's hitting .327 and has knocked in 14 runs already this season, but after hitting .259 and .252 in 2012 and '13 respectively (in 88 total games with Arizona), it's more than likely he'll even out. Semien, who's filling in for an injured Gordon Beckham, has actually struggled a bit, and the imminent return of Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) could push Semien back to the bench. Abreu has already knocked in 14 RBI, usually hitting either third or fourth in the White Sox's lineup -- we'll discuss him more below.
FANTASY BASEBALL WEEK 3: Weekly planner | Hitting report | Pitching report | Prospect watch | Closer rankings
Also off to a strong start is Conor Gillaspie, who came over from San Francisco a couple years ago. He has the full-time job at third base (as a result losing his second-base eligibility), and he's batting third in the lineup. While he has power, it's difficult seeing him keep up his .341/.396/.439 pace.
Part of Chicago's success can also be credited toward their early schedule. The first four series included sets against Minnesota, at Kansas City, at Colorado and then home again versus Cleveland. (The Royals are the only staff with an ERA that ranks higher than 24th in the majors right now.)
All statistics are up-to-date through April 13, unless otherwise mentioned.
Hitters of the week
Justin Upton, OF, Atlanta Braves -- This week: .591 AVG, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 8 runs scored
Great Aprils in Atlanta aren't anything new for Upton, now in his second year in the Dirty South. His 16 over the past two Aprils tied the franchise record for homers in consecutive Aprils, held by Hank Aaron. (Upton does have 15 more games to break that record.)
Alexei Ramirez, SS, Chicago White Sox -- .393 AVG, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 7 runs, 1 SB
Ramirez has a base hit in all 13 games this season, including a walk-off home run Sunday afternoon. He's just two games away from tying Frank Thomas' franchise hitting streak record. He leads the AL in hitting (.420) after the first two weeks. But even the White Sox aren't buying it, as they haven't hit him above the sixth spot in the lineup yet this season.
Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Los Angeles Dodgers -- .409 AVG, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 6 runs
Gonzalez hit a home run in four consecutive games over the weekend, and finished his series against Arizona with 10 RBI. Nobody hits against the Diamondbacks better -- Gonzalez leads all active players with 27 career homers and 87 RBI against them. Amazingly, 10 of Gonzalez's 14 hits this season have been for extra bases.
Hitters of the weak
Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Detroit Tigers -- Stats this week: .100 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0 runs scored
With just two hits in his past two series, Cabrera is making those that took Mike Trout over him feel good. But the back-to-back MVP winner just left Dodger Stadium and Petco Park, and is now coming home for series against the Indians, Angels and White Sox -- three teams that have staff ERAs in the bottom third of the majors.
Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners -- .133 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 runs
Things don't look good for Seager's owners, as the fourth-year veteran has just four hits this season. Thankfully, he's battling at the plate and he has nearly as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (nine). Robinson Cano's presence hasn't resurrected this offense just yet, as they rank 21st in the majors with 46 runs scored.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B, Boston Red Sox -- .111 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 2 runs
Pedroia injured his wrist colliding with Carlos Gomez at second base last week, and he just hasn't been the same at the plate. The Red Sox sent him back to Boston in the middle of their road trip for more tests. Hand and wrist injuries sap a hitter's strength more than anything else, so we'll see how fast he can bounce back.
Buy, sell or hold?
Buy: Adam Lind, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays
Before the season started, I had mentioned Lind as a sleeper this season, and after Sunday, when he hit 3-for-3, he's averaging .313, with one home run and six RBI this year. His .450 on-base percentage has him on pace for nearly 100 walks this season, and his improved patience is making a difference. While Edwin Encarnacion is struggling, Lind has been moved around in the lineup to help the first baseman. Once Encarnacion starts hitting (remember, he's coming off wrist surgery), Lind should see even more success. He's a good option as your corner infielder in mixed leagues right now.
Sell: Yangervis Solarte, 3B/OF, New York Yankees
No doubt you've raised an eyebrow to the start of the season by Solarte in the Bronx. He's batting .357 with no homers, seven RBI and four runs scored. His ownership percentages on CBSSports.com shot up from one percent on Opening Day to 55 percent this week. He's not going to be an All-Star, but if you acquired him, he would make a nice trading chip to upgrade a position. He won't continue this start, however -- he bats ninth and plays a power-necessary position like third base. Also, his hype as a Yankee rookie will continue to soar above his true fantasy value. Consider doing a 2-for-1 deal with a team that owns a struggling third baseman, like Seager or Mike Moustakas.
Hold: Billy Hamilton, OF, Cincinnati Reds
The fleet-footed rookie has been a major disappointment in his first April with the Reds. But before you trade him away, understand that this was to be expected. After all the hype this past winter and spring, he was bound to try too hard, as most youngsters who see a taste of success the previous season do. The Reds allowed OF Shin-Soo Choo to sign with the Rangers in order to install Hamilton as the new center fielder and leadoff hitter. The Reds team as a whole is struggling (27th in runs scored this season), so let's wait until they got on track. He's still batting leadoff, in spite of his .091 batting average and .130 on-base percentage. While he'll never learn how to steal first base, he will learn patience and start making enough contact to beat out infield hits. And then it's off to the races!
Rookie hitter spotlight
Jose Abreu, 1B, Chicago White Sox: There's no doubt, Abreu is the top rookie hitter in this young season, as he's already being discussed as taking the torch as the next super-slugging White Sox first baseman in the lineage of Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas and Ron Kittle. There are a couple things to keep in mind, though. First, he's 27 years old, which is considered a prime power age for most hitters -- and he's being compared to 23- and 24-year-old hitters. Secondly, the season is young, and after striking out just four times in his first nine games, he struck out seven times in his past four games. He'll have to make adjustments as pitchers adjust to him.
By the numbers
Some interesting numbers I've come across over the past week.
174 -- Number of RBI that Jose Abreu is on pace for this season. The Cuban import is taking the league by storm, but let's remember that A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes had four home runs and 12 RBI in his first 13 games back in 2012.
44 -- Number of pitchers that have registered at least one save since the start of the baseball season two weeks ago. Eighteen of those pitchers likely weren't drafted in most 12-team Rotisserie leagues this March.
30 -- The Reds' ranking in team hitting this season before posting a season-high 12 runs and 13 hits against the Rays Sunday.
19 -- FAAB dollars spent on Red Sox reliever Edward Mujica in the 15-team Tout Wars Mixed league Monday, with closer Koji Uehara dealing with a shoulder injury.
7.6 -- Percent of the fantasy baseball season that is now behind us. Remember -- it's a marathon, not a sprint.
5 -- Number of stolen bases Padres SP Tyson Ross has allowed this season to lead the majors.
3 --Rays starters currently on the disabled list, including Jeremy Hellickson (elbow), Matt Moore (elbow), and now, Alex Cobb (oblique). After starting the season as one of the best starting rotations, it's time to start thinking about starting more hitters against the Rays in the coming weeks. They don't have the pitching arsenal in their minor-league system like they once had.

Date of Stay: November, 2015
This park has it all : close to the highway yet quiet, excellent shopping nearby, good TV and cell phone reception, good WiFi, pet friendly, shady back-ins, sunny pull throughs, and a few holes of mini-golf. Summer activities apparently keep it booked solid but there are plenty of campers here in November as well.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
Beautiful place to get away for $800/month. Local roads are "scenic", which means the 25mph speed limit is enforced by narrow, badly maintained roads. AT&T reception is two bars at best. No WiFi, cable costs extra, 10-15 channels with a good aerial, and plenty of hot water for $1 in the clean bath house. Air conditioning is superfluous except for a few nights in August-shady sites with cool breezes. Tight roads servicing the generous seasonal sites, easy assess to the "Field" for big rigs and weekenders. Management is friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
This is a campground, not an overnight park. No WiFi , no cable TV, poor broadcast TV, marginal Cell phone coverage, and very rough dirt roads. Trees in very poor condition . Dishes nailed to trees all over. Water and electric service intermittent.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
Brand new and squeaky clean. Located behind the KFC and K-Mart. Wide concrete streets and pads. Windy. Easy assess to interstate.


text: In the Guardian several weeks ago, U2's manager embraced recent proposals to make ISPs kick people off the internet if they are repeatedly caught illegally downloading music. Since the days of Napster, the music industry has followed a similar route of anti-piracy but the people behind Warp Records and a bunch of other indie labels may have hit upon a new way of encouraging people to pay for their tunes - by turning us all into retailers. At the People's Music Store, you can design and open your own storefront, select a batch of songs from a library and then sell them, earning yourself 10% of the profits to use towards buying new music. It's not going to solve the big situation but it's a cooler, friendlier way forward than that of U2.
