ALL HILLS, PASSES, saddles, "carvings" & ROUTES from PIEDMONT towards AOSTA's VALLEY
"Ciarforon Pass (3317m) between Ciarforon & Becca of Monciair and amongst Valsavarenche/Broglio Walloon",
by Antonio
In addition, so as not to fracture the continuity of the listing description, were included steps and hills are not for hikers but, and definitely, aimed at climbers with appropriate equipment, so in these cases have been used the abbreviations of A (Mountaineering) and AEXP. (For Mountaineers Expert). Relate in particular to those sections of the chain so close to the High Peak and, specifically, the coast to the East of the same, that is, between the Grande-Arolla and Ape Pass; same goes for the distance between the Roc (Vaccarone Pass, or better Carving) until Grand-Etret the two hills in the Southwest of the Grand Massif. These crossings are to be considered almost all Mountaineering and Climbing both for the presence of glaciers or to the difficulty of the passages and, in some cases, for both components. Some packages may be addressed to Expert Hikers, however always equipped with the necessary sports.
Are we missing the travel time because, in our opinion, is a very personal factor in relationship capabilities and the level of training, and the same, as already mentioned, is located on signs and typically involves a slight time dilation, just for the reasons above expressed. Concerning the Slope of Piedmont reports of the paths are not consistent with those of the Valley of Aosta having shapes, numbers, and different character, it is not surprising, therefore, that you make the climb with a numbering while the descent into the valley occurs via an other completely different, although both belonging to the same itinerary. Moreover, the same, on both sides, as well as on the panels can be found on houses, cottages, pastures or relating stables or natural shelters, trees, rocks and even boulders or stones isolated. Generally follow and agree with the design shown in the panels.
In order to make a complete job and organically valid and exhaustive have not neglected those initial parts that do not allow the passage to the Valley of Aosta, but within the same Piedmont walloons between secondary sometimes little known, so how in the first part, we turned to the natural Appendages from the watershed down in the direction of the Po's Plaine towards Castellamonte, Ivrea and other smaller towns, on other occasions will make a brief reference to areas within minors. As for the border, of course evidenced by downflow water, there is to be noted that on the Piedmont side is characterized by the path of the Stream Orco flowing in the homonym Valley or Val Soana, with the end also called the Valley of Ceresole Reale, this ends after the Great Dam Ceresole (1582m), with major lakes ( Serrù and Agnel , 2278m, 2297m) on the border with the Isère Valley in the West, through the three Passes of Galisia (2987m) of the Losa and the Vacca and Oin's Hill. In addition, the Italian borders to Nivolé wide Hill with its two lakes of the same name (2537m, 2533m) , between the two Chivasso Refuges (2600m) and Savoia (2610m) at the beginning of long Nivolé Tableland and on the slopes of the very important node topography of the Point Galisia (3346m), with the Valsavarenche in Aosta Valley. A whole series of walloons turned down at first East and then to Southeast, almost arranged radially in the direction of this important and large torrent, which feed. The walloons and valleys of the Valley of Aosta however, always starting from the bottom or East, down perpendicular to the Dora Baltea River trend with South/North, except the Valleys of Cogne and Champorcher who have a distant location, but almost parallel to it, ie Northeast and then the first North-northeast and East and then North second, to finally necessarily converge toward the same and the Central Valley.
As for the mountains, in the secondary intent of this work, but important to be able to follow the logic succession of hills, here given an arbitrary division into four parts, going back further with a more complete explanation, although abbreviated, and that concerns the focal nodes.

Inoltre, onde non fratturare la continuità nell'elencazione descrittiva, son stati inseriti dei passi e dei colli che non son per Escursionisti bensì, e decisamente, rivolti ad Alpinisti e con adeguata attrezzatura; quindi in questi casi sono state utilizzate le sigle di A (Alpinistico) e AExp. (Alpinistico per Esperti). Riguardano in particolare modo quei tratti della catena vicini alla Vetta Massima ed, in specifico, la costiera ad Oriente del medesimo, cioé tra la Grande-Arolla ed il Colle dell'Ape; ugual discorso per i passi tra il Roc (Colle o, meglio, Intaglio Vaccarone) sino ai due Colli del Grand Etret a Sudovest del Massiccio. Queste traversate son da considerarsi quasi tutte Alpinistiche sia per la presenza di ghiacciai oppure per la difficoltà dei passaggi ed, in alcuni casi, per entrambe le componenti. Alcuni colli possono essere rivolti ad Escursionisti Esperti, comunque sempre equipaggiati con l'Attrezzatura necessaria.
Abbiam tralasciato il tempo di percorrenza poiché, a nostro avviso, é un fattore alquanto personale in realazione alle capacità ed al grado d'allenamento; lo stesso, come già dettosi, si trova sulla segnaletica ed in genere comporta una leggera dilatazione dell'orario, proprio per i motivi testé espressi. Per quanto riguarda il Versante del Piemonte le segnalazioni dei sentieri non collimano con quelle della Valle di Aosta avendo forme, carattere e numerazioni diversificate; non deve sorprendere, quindi, che si effettui la salita con una numerazione mentre la discesa verso la Valle avvenga tramite un'altra completamente diversa, anche se entrambe appartenenti al medesimo itinerario. Inoltre le stesse, su entrambi i versanti, oltre che sui pannelli sono riscontrabili su case, baite o ripari naturali, alpeggi o relative stalle, alberi, rocce ed anche massi o sassi isolati. In genere seguono e concordano con il design riportato nei panneaux.
Per poter effettuare un lavoro completo ed organicamente valido ed esaustivo non abbiamo tralasciato quelle parti iniziali che permettono il passaggio non verso la Valle di Aosta, bensì all'interno del Piemonte medesimo tra valloni secondari, a volte poco noti; così, come in questa prima parte, ci siam rivolti alle Appendici naturali che dallo spartiacque scendono in direzione della Pianura verso Castellamonte, Ivrea ed altre località più piccole, in altre occasioni effettueremo un breve accenno ad aree interne minori. Per quanto concerne il confine, naturalmente evidenziato dal defluvio delle acque, vi é da notare che sul versante piemontese é contraddistinto dal percorso del Torrente Orco che scorre nell'omonima valle o Val Soana, con la parte terminale chiamata anche Valle di Ceresole Reale; questa termina, dopo la Grande Diga di Ceresole (1582 m), con laghi importanti (Serrù ed Agnel, 2278 m, 2297 m) al confine con la Valle dell'Isère ad Occidente, tramite i tre Passi della Galisia (2987 m), della Losa e della Vacca ed il Col d'Oin. Inoltre confina con quello italiano al Colle di Nivolé con i suoi due omonimi laghi (2537 m, 2533 m), tra i due Rifugi Chivasso (2600 m) e Savoia (2610 m), all'ingresso con il lungo Pian del Nivolé ed alle pendici dell'importantantissimo nodo topografico della Punta di Galisia (3346 m), con la Valsavarenche in Valle di Aosta. Tutt'una serie di valloni scendono rivolti dapprima a Sudest e poi ad Est, quasi disposti a raggiera, in direzione di questo importante e grande torrente, che van ad alimentare. Le valli della Valle di Aosta invece, sempre partendo dal basso od Est, scendono perpendicolari verso la Dora Baltea con andamento Sud/Nord; tranne le Valli di Champorcher e Cogne aventi un percorso distante, ma quasi parallelo alla medesima, ovvero Nordest e poi Nord la prima e Est-nordest e poi Nord la seconda, per infine obbligatoriamente convergere verso la stessa e la Valle Centrale.
Per quanto concerne le montagne, secondarie negli intenti di questo lavoro, ma importanti per poter seguire la logica successione dei colli, diam qui un'arbitraria divisione in quattro tronconi, ritornando più in là con una esplicitazione più completa, anche se sintetica, e che ne riguarda i nodi focali.

Wearing a huge smile on his face and holding a simple duffle bag in his hands, Lebrew Jones walked out of the Queensboro Correctional Facility Thursday morning a free man.
Jones who was released on parole after spending the last 22 years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit then hugged his brother and called his mother.
"It feels like a dream come true," Jones said.
Jones was convicted of the 1989 sexual assault and murder of teenage prostitute Michealanne Hall, from Buffalo. It was a brutal and bloody crime. Hall was found beaten to death with a rock at a construction site where Jones worked as a security guard. The crime scene was littered with physical evidence – none of which was linked to Jones. Still, he was convicted and sentenced 22 years to life in prison.
Jones recently appeared before a parole board in recent weeks and told his story – how police interrogated him for 20 hours. How he wrote multiple statements of what happened the night of the crime. Most versions denied his involvement.
He told the board that police told him to say he saw her so that he could finally go home. Finally, Jones says he concocted a story that he saw Michaelanne Hall commit suicide.
In a videotaped interview with an assistant DA, Jones says, "she picked up a large mini rock or something and tried to take blows to her head."
The jury saw that video and thought he was lying about the suicide -- then convicted him of murder.
Jones' release today is thanks, in part, to the efforts of former Times Herald Record reporter Christine Young, who as a young journalism student 20 years ago covered the crime Jones was accused of committing.
"My suspicions were aroused that he was innocent after conversations with a police officer and a witness," Young said outside the correctional facility Thursday. "I tried to do something about it at the time and he got convicted anyway."
She eventually moved away – her journalism career brought her to cities around the county – but she always thought about Lebrew Jones. Young started digging into the case again when she moved back to Orange County and discovered she lived near the Otisville Prison where Jones was incarcerated.
Her newspaper articles and mini documentaries posted on the web, helped attract the Innocence Project and a Manhattan law firm which agreed to represent Jones pro-bono.
Jones will stay at a half way house in Harlem while on parole. He and his attorneys now have to decide whether to petition the court to vacate his conviction.
In the meantime he is hoping to revive his budding career as a jazz musician. He wants to go to the beach. And more than anything he wants to get reacquainted with his family.
On the phone with his mother this morning he said, "This is a happy day guys."

The search for a sustainable slow-release fertilizer -- a key to sustaining global food production at a time of burgeoning population growth -- has led scientists to an ingredient used in some diarrhea medicines. They describe use of the substance, attapulgite, as a "carrier" for plant nutrients in a report in ACS' journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Boli Ni and colleagues explain that about half of the 150 million tons of fertilizer used worldwide every year goes to waste. That's because most fertilizers release nutrients too fast for the crops to use. The rest can run off farm fields and create water pollution problems. Existing slow-release fertilizers have drawbacks. So Ni's team turned to the environmentally friendly substance attapulgite, an inexpensive, nutrient-rich clay used for decades to treat diarrhea and for other applications. It once was an ingredient in the Kaopectate marketed in the United States. They also included guar gum, used in cosmetics and to thicken foods, and humic acid from decayed plant material.
The report describes development and successful tests of a new fertilizer composed of those three ingredients. The slow-release pellets were easy to prepare, reduced nutrient loss via runoff and leaching, improved soil moisture content and regulated soil acidity and alkalinity. "All of the results indicate that it may be expected to have wide applications for sustainable development of modern agriculture," the scientists say.

Shadowvision: "ROSEMARY'S BABY"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
Welcome to Shadowvision, a regular column in which Fangoria.com revisits modern horror films in black and white. The purpose is to analyze these films through a new lens, seeing if the classically informed viewing experience will give a new angle to familiar images. If you'd like to watch along at home, it's simple: go into your TV settings and desaturate the picture completely, then adjust the contrast and brightness to fit either standard or high definition.
For the latest venture into Shadowvision, I decided to revisit a bonafide classic of atmospheric terror and intense restraint: ROSEMARY'S BABY. A beautiful and affecting venture into paranoid madness and relentless dread, this iconic story from Ira Levin about witches and the antichrist seemed perfect for a monochromatic transfer, especially through the unique lens of William Fraker and the unrivaled vision of Roman Polanski. Thankfully, Criterion's definitive high-def transfer was readily available as I decided to take the plunge.
Once again, a higher contrast is better for this film, and unfortunately, some spots will be darker than you'd prefer based on some night-set scenes. Luckily, these moments are brief and excessive contrast will just soften the image considerably. However, from the opening credits forward, the film absolutely carves out an atmospheric groove in black-and-white that feels much more recognizable as a William Castle Production. Furthermore, Polanski's era-appropriate pacing of the film leans closer to the classic years of Universal Horror, and you may find yourself entranced into the story as if viewing it through fresh eyes once more.
Narratively speaking, ROSEMARY'S BABY benefits from the black-and-white changeover by offering a palpable sense of fear through the increased shadowing and color-stripped imagery. The Castevets and their co-conspirators seem much more imposing in black-and-white, and their sinister presence feels much more intrusive once Rosemary's paranoia begins to mount. In the conception scene alone, the intricacies of the art direction by Joel Schiller are lost but in turn, the surrealist dream elements are much more frightening and the black-and-white helps accentuate the portrayal of demonic evil. Furthermore, Rosemary's apartment feels much more architecturally ancient and confining when removed of color, which allows the audience to gain even more empathy for the pregnant protagonist.
In addition, the film's dialogue now feels even more at home in black-and-white, with Guy and Rosemary's marital quibbles feeling more European in execution, akin to the work of Bergman and Godard. In fact, it's that realism to the proceedings which may even intensify the elements of terror throughout the film, and when Rosemary's allies grow smaller and smaller in number, the comparisons to the bleak Godard feel even more justified. Likewise, as Rosemary's health begins to deteriorate towards the beginning of her pregnancy, the effects feel much more noticeable when exaggerated through the increased contrast of black-and-white. And when the film finally reaches its notorious climax, the monochrome presentation makes every askew frame and blasphemous declaration feel as if ripped from an golden age horror double feature; a perfect tonal compliment to a Mario Bava or James Whale film.
In fact, there is much in ROSEMARY'S BABY outside Fraker's brilliant and dually-proficient cinematography that one can savor here. From Mia Farrow to John Cassavetes to Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer, the performances all around have a stronger impact, making their power struggle over Rosemary's unborn child even more allegorical to a battle between good and evil. Christopher Komeda's score is also more befitting, playing closer to its inspirations of past horror and science fiction productions than one might catch when viewing the film in color. And Polanski's penchant for atmosphere-based frights, fueled by plot progression and nuances in the performances over exposition and gore, keep the film's presentation organic and never out of its element when viewed monochromatically.
Since the film is so beloved and celebrated as a classic of the genre, fans of the film will likely appreciate the film without color, yet the in-color version will always be the preferred method. The aesthetics and art-direction will always lean in favor of the natural color version, while fans of the story itself may find themselves revisiting Polanski's tale in black-and-white more frequently. If anything, this version is an excellent alternative viewing experience of an already chilling macabre masterpiece, and by that measure, it's definitely worthy of a look.
Recommended for Black & White Consumption?: Yes.

Logistics requires flexibility and innovation
Making sure that goods are delivered on time is the concern of Bambi Liu (below right), senior supervisor of industrial engineering at UPS Hong Kong.
Being in a supervisory role, her job is to lead and co-ordinate staff to operate efficiently, and to plan and redesign the workflow to streamline company operations.
According to her, it is an advantage to have a degree in industrial engineering to work in the logistics sector, but it is not a must. The key to success is to experience different work duties, if, and when, possible, she adds. 'Individuals who are eager to develop a career in logistics should be analytical, independent and team players who value diversity, equality and innovation,' says Liu. 'It is also crucial to be flexible.'
Liu started off doing back-office work as a freight services co-ordinator in 2004, and has since engaged in different aspects of the logistics industry, through working in various departments at UPS.
After three years of back-office work, she moved to the front line as a management specialist. 'When I was promoted from a management specialist into a supervisory role, I went from being an executor to a trainer,' she says.
'Learning how to coach and delegate assignments is important. When we develop others, we develop ourselves,' she adds.
It is Liu's job to ensure that customers receive their shipments on time. 'We often experience situations that need to be resolved immediately, to meet expectations,' she says.
In addition to regular tasks, Liu often works with colleagues from different departments, and occasionally goes on off-site assignments. 'Through interaction with colleagues from various backgrounds, I am able to be innovative,' she says.
Office hours are 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, but overtime is required at times.

Heading into spring training the New York Yankees figured to see a lot of Austin Romine and Chris Stewart behind the plate as Francisco Cervelli was representing Italy in the World Baseball Classic. However, Cervelli, in an effort to try and lock down the starting catcher spot, has decided to forgo the World Baseball Classic.
This was a smart move by Cervelli. He is trying to win the starting catcher job and if he had been away he would have missed quite a bit f time which would have gone to Romine and Stewart. With solid springs either one of them could very easily have won the job which Cervelli is a slight favorite to win.
Cervelli has one minor league option left and had he left to play in the WBC he could have been facing an uphill battle. All it would have taken was a strong spring from Chris Stewart and either Bobby Wilson or Austin Romine and Cervelli could have been sent to Triple-A again like last year, something I am sure he didn't want to happen.
The Yankees starting catcher spot figures to be the one camp battle that draws a lot of interest. Cervelli, who will turn 27 next month, might be the Yankees best option at the position, at least offensively. He is a .271/.339/.353 hitter with 5 home runs and 71 RBIs over 490 at bats. Stewart, 30, who arguably has the second-best shot to win the starting job, is only a .217/.281/.302 hitter and offers little offensive upside.
This is basically Cervelli's job to lose. Had he joined Team Italy that would have seriously hindered his ability to win the job. This was a good decision by Cervelli.

After 24 Years, Allure Founder Linda Wells Replaced by Former Nylon Editor Michelle Lee
In a relatively shocking turn of events, longtime Allure magazine Editor-in-Chief/Founder Linda Wells has been replaced with Michelle Lee, who just left Nylon.
In a relatively shocking turn of events, longtime Allure magazine Editor-in-Chief/Founder Linda Wells has been replaced with Michelle Lee, who just left Nylon.
Joined by Jordana Brewster, Nicole Beharie of Sleepy Hollow, Katheryn Winnick of Vikings and Sandrine Holt of Terminator Genisys, Laverne Cox is in Allure's latest Nude issue in all her naked glory.
Allure magazine is celebrating spring the way they usually do: by getting a few pretty famous women to take their clothes off and pose for some nudes in which none of their truly interesting parts are displayed. The lucky ones this May are Kristen Bell, Nia Long, Minnie Driver and Jenna Dewan Tatum.
Kate Moss is on the August cover of Allure magazine, and inside, she reveals that her 11-year-old daughter Lila is just as enamored of the fashion world as her mother.
Twenty years ago this month, Allure editor Linda Wells founded the magazine that we credit with teaching us how to shower and how to rub sunscreen on our bodies. So, how is she marking this auspicious occasion? With an outdated defense of uniformly thin models!
This year you may have asked yourself, why the hell are the Kardashians on so many magazine covers? The answer is simple.
This month in Allure, a writer describes how being incarcerated taught her some life lessons — about the importance of makeup! Meanwhile, the editors explain the key to looking good naked is to lose weight and get more beauty treatments.
In Fashion Week Daily's imagined interview with Allure, the mag reveals she'd "love to do more stories on religious cults and Sudan," but must keep using the word "sexiest" on the cover lest the tabloids outsell her. [FWD via Fashionista]
Allure's editors have made a shocking discovery: Whether you're slim or overweight, at some point, your face will start looking older. This month, they tried to recapture their youth by giving a Disney star and self-proclaimed "nice girl" the cover.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's first programme in Switzerland is a commemorative meeting on TDP Founder and Former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao's death anniversary.
Speaking at the gathering organised by the Telugu NRI community in Zurich, Switzerland, the Chief Minister underlined the role of NRIs who can provide access to markets, sources of investment, expertise, knowledge and technology.
Telugu NRIs who have settled in Switzerland as well as an NRI Telugu delegation from England welcomed the Chief Minister, who is on a three-day visit for Davos Summit.
The Chief Minister said AP has a very high number of NRIs who can be part of state's development process. He asked the NRI community to be a part of the government's flagship Smart Village – Smart Ward Programme.
Meanwhile, a Telugu professor working in the biomedical field suggested the Chief Minister to invite world renowned scientists in their respective fields to come to Andhra Pradesh and start new research projects.
Responding positively to his suggestion, the Chief Minister asked him and other participants to network with the best in the world. He said that Andhra Pradesh is going to be a knowledge and education hub with renowned universities from all over the world.
During an interactive session that followed, the Chief Minister enquired the participants on their work culture and what best practices Andhra Pradesh could adapt.
Prof Madduri Srinivas, Vice President STNRI, Amar Kavi Chairman STNRI Rajesh Yandra, Software Startups, Jaya Kumar, President APNRT, Karam Suresh Secretary APNRT, Sree Kiran Paruchuri, APNRT, Padmaja Reddy, Jogi Naidu, software professionals, students and others were present.(NSS)

A growing number of millennials are living with their parents. This is one of the findings of a Pew survey on Americans living in multi-generational family households.
According to the survey, young adults ages 25 to 34 (aka millennials) "have been a major component of the growth in the population living with multiple generations since 1980 — and especially since 2010. By 2012, roughly one-in-four of these young adults (23.6 percent) lived in multi-generational households, up from 18.7 percent in 2007 and 11 percent in 1980."
It's not necessarily that millennials love their parents nowadays more than ever and have hard time leaving the house. Apparently, there are number of reasons for this phenomenon, including millennials' delayed entry to adulthood, but also, and probably mainly, economic reasons.
According to a State of the Nation's Housing report released last month by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University "tight credit, high unemployment and record levels of student loan debt are moderating growth and keeping young people and other first-time homebuyers out of the market."
So, this is good news, right? Millennials seem to adopt a more responsible economic behavior, avoiding the same reckless financial decisions that got so many people in trouble only a few years ago. And besides, aren't multi-generational households more sustainable? After all, they use resources more efficiently, serve as an economic safety net and may even help family relationships.
Well, not so fast. The reports on this trend widely present it as a problem rather than an opportunity. Why? Because by not buying houses, millennials are hurting the real estate recovery and a weak housing market has been a burden on the U.S. economic growth. Dina ElBoghdady and Emily Badger explained this connection on the Washington Post:
"The decisions they [the Millennials] make about their living arrangements will, by extension, affect the economy, which has traditionally relied on the housing market to create construction jobs and generate consumer spending for everything from dishes to furniture to pricey appliances."
So the way this trend is framed in the media is something like this: Millennials living with their parents = one of the reasons for the slow growth of the U.S. economy = bad thing. Or as David Dayen puts it: "A 'kids living in the basement' economy simply has no vigor."
In fairness, it's not that anyone writing about this trend wishes for millennials to act recklessly or take risks they can't afford. However, it seems like the expectations are that millennials will get back to 'business as usual' – i.e. get out of their basement, find a real job, get married, buy a house and start consuming like adults.
And this is the problem. The reports about the trend indicate that millennials' behavior, which David Dayen calls on the New Republic "the Great Delay," is abnormal and aspire for the return of the 'normal' and the sooner the better, but is this really what we should hope for?
I doubt that, and the reason is that the 'business as usual' everyone seems to be longing for is nothing but the same old economy model based on debt, consumption of stuff and everlasting growth. This model, as we already know is unsustainable and a recipe for trouble – at best it will provide some limited economic short-term, but more likely it will just pave the road to the next crisis.
So why do we still want it so much? Do we have such a short memory? Don't we know better?
Apparently no, as Jo Confino, executive editor of the Guardian and chairman and editorial director of Guardian Sustainable Business explains:
"Because we have been raised in the current system, we unconsciously believe it is the natural order of things – rather than a social construct we can change. The economic system is like a mother and we, the babies are fearful of what would happen if we abandon her."
I guess some of you might wonder at this stage what's the alternative? Do I suggest that millennials will delay their adulthood forever and will stay as much as possible in their cozy basements?
The answer is: No. I don't think Alan of The Hangover is the best role model for the millennials (and the same goes to any of the man-child characters in Judd Apatow's films). At the same time, I don't think we should look at multi-generational housing as a negative phenomenon that just stalls the economy. Instead, we should look at this trend more comprehensively, exploring its potential as a component of a more sustainable economy model, especially when it comes to aging populations.
Naturally, most millennials would eventually like to leave their basement, start their own families and purchase their own home. Yet, we should encourage them to follow a new path – not a 20th century model that is unsustainable and will put their wellbeing in risk, but a 21st century model that is based on sustainable principles.
It's time to be honest and tell the millennials that the party everyone is encouraging them to join is over. The dream of a big house is the suburbs with two cars, a secured job and life of overconsumption is a reflection of the past, not their future.
To paraphrase President Barack Obama, it's time to do away with an economic model that belongs to the "Mad Men" era and start thinking in terms that are relevant to this era: steady state economy, sharing economy, sustainable development, design for social innovation and sustainability, and the responsible economy, just to name a few.
So, my fellow millennials, please don't listen to the news and ignore the voices rushing you to leave the basement (unless these are your parents talking to you) and do it whenever you feel the time is right, i.e. you can actually afford it. Otherwise, it won't be long before you return to the basement only to find out that your siblings (aka generation Z) have already claimed it.
