For Your Digital Assets, There Is Life After Death
August 16, 2018 9:00 am
You're working on your estate plan with your attorney, and she asks if you're on Facebook. Don't be alarmed—she's not trying to "friend" you. There's a good reason for her question: your Facebook profile is a "digital asset." It has personal value to you, and a business profile may also have monetary value.
While the word "asset" conjures images of wealth in the form of physical and financial property, the Internet and social media have created a new form of property that may be transferred upon the death of its owner.
What Are Digital Assets?
Digital assets include your email account; your personal online photos and videos; digital music; personal or business website; Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram or other social media accounts; Bitcoins or other cyber currency; and any personal content stored in cloud servers and the like.
When your lawyer meets with you to talk about your estate plan, your shared goal is to determine what you own and to whom you want to give it. But too many people overlook the fact that digital platforms are assets that can only be accessed with private passwords. Some of those platforms include years of digital content, most of which we wish to keep private.
So what happens to this digital world when we die? You might think the obvious answer is to give your passwords to your loved ones so they can maintain control of the content. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Your loved ones could be violating a platform's rules or Terms of Service by "unlawfully" accessing the accounts.
The Law Has Not Kept Up
When someone dies, a Personal Representative (PR), formerly called an Executor in Massachusetts, is the person legally responsible for dealing with the decedent's assets and for distributing those assets to the decedent's beneficiaries. Unfortunately, the law has not kept up with technology. A PR does not have the power to deal with all of your digital assets.
In the recent Massachusetts case of Ajemian v. Yahoo!, Inc., the PR was denied access to the decedent's Yahoo email account. Yahoo argued allowing access to the emails would be a violation of the decedent's privacy rights under federal law. The PR argued the emails were estate assets and therefore under the control of the PR. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the Commonwealth's highest court, agreed with the PR, but the court noted a major obstacle: While federal law does not preclude a PR from accessing the email, the PR is bound by the company's Terms of Service.
The recent decision of the Supreme Judicial Court may now provide a sense of relief to companies that manage digital platforms, knowing they will not be in violation of federal privacy laws if they agree to provide access to a PR. However, the current decision does not require such a company to release the information to a PR simply because it is requested. There likely will need to be additional litigation or legislation before PRs can be guaranteed access to such assets.
How to Protect Your Digital Assets After Your Death
For now, we recommend including certain powers in your estate planning documents—such as allowing a PR (or Trustee of your trust) to request access your digital content—as well as other planning techniques to minimize issues concerning your digital assets.
If you own a business, think about the importance of passing down access to digital accounts, such as email accounts, blogs, or social media, to insure the succession of the business. These digital accounts may determine whether or not your business maintains its value after your death and can continue to earn income for your family posthumously.
As for Facebook: It now has a feature that allows you to choose what happens to your account upon your death. You can create a legacy page, for example, and you can designate a "legacy contact"— a person to maintain your account after your death.
We hope that your family will not have to deal with these issues for many years to come, but for those who like to be well prepared, we would be happy to discuss ways to deal with your digital assets today.

Three Races, Three Different Winners on Opening Day in Porto Venere
Friday, March 31, 2017 11:46 PM
Porto Venere, Italy (Mar. 31, 2017) - Opening day in Porto Venere got underway with a brief postponement that soon lead to three highly competitive races commencing the 2017 Melges 32 World League, European Division.
The breeze filled in nicely awarding the first race of the day to long-time Melges 32 owner and Class stalwart Edoardo Pavesio aboard FRA MARTINA. With tactician Manuel Weiller Vidal on duty, Pavesio made winning the opening heat look easy. The wire-to-wire win came under 10-15 knots of breeze out of the west, Matteo Balestrero's Giogi followed in second. Claudia Rossi at the helm of Lasse Petterson's Pippa sailed well into the third place position.
Another class veteran - Andrea Lacorte with Gabriele Benussi calling tactics aboard Vitamina Amerikana took charge to win Race Two, proving that he too could take the immediate lead and command the fleet around the track for a consistent start to finish win.
Fleet newcomer and top Corinthian Kilian Holzapfel aboard Germany's Homanit Junior had a great opening day/class debut to finish in second, followed by International Class President Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio at the helm of G-Spot in third.
The last race of the day went to Balestrero making him the most consistent of the three daily winners, ultimately putting him in the lead overnight.
Three contentious Melges 32s are competing in the all-amatuer ranks of the Porto Venere fleet, and atop the division is Holzapfel. Fleet newbies Martin Reintjes on Caipirinha is currently seated second. Francesco Graziani on Vitamina completes today's Corinthian podium in third.
Tonight, teams will enjoy a wonderful crew dinner hosted at the Grand Hotel Porto Venere.
Racing continues tomorrow, Saturday with the first warning signal scheduled for 11:00/Italy.
As with all Melges 32 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Melges 32 Facebook Page. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews, and photos.

I don't know about you but my pantry is a disaster. It is a pretty big pantry so I can't just take everything out. Sometimes I'll take out 1 or 2 shelves worth but I can only do that when my kids are sleeping. Over the last few weeks I've been trying to clean and organize little by little. Yesterday I tossed some old and crusty marshmallows that were hidden behind real food. I'm guess they were there since last Christmas when my big kids would have hot cocoa. A couple of new potatoes were found, those little guys are just too easy to misplace. They were shriveled, ewww. I also had to toss 1 small onion and a small bag of shallots that I had gotten on clearance a while ago.
I was able to give away a few things that hadn't expired but that we were not going to be eating. I did have to throw away an unopened bottle of expired barbecue sauce. It wasn't really up to our new standards of real food so we wouldn't have eaten it but it's too bad I couldn't give it to someone who would have liked it.
We have been eating a ton of fresh produce but I did have some sliced bell peppers that got moldy (they looked much worse in person than in the picture). The good news about those is that I picked them up from the clearance produce sections so it was only $1 for three bell peppers and an onion. Something very odd happened too, I bought a new package of pita's from Trader Joe's on Monday and by Thursday they were covered in mold, the "best by" date was Friday so I'm guessing the temperatures were just too warm. I'm still bummed about those pita's though.
I've also been cleaning out the freezer. Yes there was still some meat in the deep recesses of the freezer. I packed up a few things for a friend and tossed a few things. My freezer seems much happier now and so do I. It's a lot easier to get things in and out. I still have more organization to do but not today.
Waste cost money. Everything I had thrown away was something I had spent money on. I estimate the produce I threw away cost about $2 and the pita's another $2. I could have taken those pita's back but it would be out of my way and probably cost me more in the long run.
It's hard to know what the freezer stuff cost because I haven't bought meat in so long I don't really know how much it cost originally. It was taking up precious space though. Meat definitely cost more than produce so I know it was a lot.
When you throw food away do you think of what it cost you? I do. If it's leftovers or something I cooked I think about the cost of the food, the cost of my time cooking it, and the cost of the next meal that will have to replace it because we didn't use it wisely. I know I'm a weirdo!
How did you do this week? Is it time for a pantry/fridge/freezer clean out at your house too?

Greed, Anger And Finding Compassion
I can't do this anymore. By "this" I mean subject myself on a daily basis to the kind of people who think only of themselves and their own pocketbooks. They firmly believe in tax cuts and want to collect their Social Security but seem not to understand that those programs need funding. Funding that's apparently supposed to come through stopping social welfare programs like unemployment benefits, Medicaid and of course, Welfare. Not funding social welfare programs will mean less taxes for them, and to HELL with those scumbums who are creating those higher taxes.
Offline I am familiar with many members of the Tea Party. They are the children and grandchildren of some of my home healthcare clients. Clients who receive foodstamps, Medicaid, free transportation to and from doctor appointments and help from the county and state to live on their own in apartments for which they receive rent assistance. None of which is paid for by Social Security, or their own families. When I point out to them that this is all paid for with those taxes they want reduced, they look at me as if I just sprouted another head. They don't say much in response to my point, they just keep hollering about "welfare scum".
As a home health aide I see how hard it is for my elderly clients to make ends meet. I've seen how well they can rely on the families that should be taking care of them instead of the Federal Government. I've seen the kind of abuse they receive when they ask. I've heard these families complain about Welfare Scum living large off their tax dollars and in the next breath tell their Mom or Dad to ask the case manager for more help because they "just don't have the time." If you ask the family member who they think are all these welfare scum they say "those people who get a free ride from Food stamps and Medicaid." When I ask who they think should take care of things I get told "their families, of course." Someone explain to me what part of they're the family who they say should step up to the plate and do something escapes them?
Their parents get Meals on Wheels because they won't help do any cooking. Paid for by Welfare. Their parents get a home health aide because they won't help with showers, housekeeping or transportation to and from doctors, grocery stores or drug stores. Paid for by Medicaid/Welfare. The co-pays for the medications they need to survive are paid by Medicaid. The walkers, canes, incontinence undergarments, protective furniture pads, oxygen, Life lines, hearing aides, glasses and any other item necessary for the health and well being of the elderly person are all paid for by Medicaid. All because the family is too busy to bother. Yet these same people who are too busy to bother, aren't willing to pay higher taxes to insure that these programs have adequate funding? Are you that ignorant that you don't understand your behavior creates the need for these programs?
I'm hearing and seeing your anger about things you have little knowledge of. I hear it from your parent when I find them crying about being ignored by you. I see it on my computer when you call others douchebags and morons because they don't agree with you. I've seen you lie to stop healthcare reform by saying Death panels would be created and yet not have a single thing to say when REPUBLICANS actually created one.
I've watched you trash people whose only crime is that they choose not to judge others based on accusations and try to abide by a presumption of innocence guaranteed by US laws. I've watched you drive those people out of forums because they didn't agree with you and advocated for reason. Something you are apparently bereft of, along with the compassion demanded by the God you say you believe in. Tell me where in the Bible does it advocate that you become rich in material things? Doesn't it say we should emulate Jesus? Didn't He give EVERYTHING he had and was to mankind? I've seen Atheists show more compassion for those in need than I've ever seen from your brand of Christianity.
By all means, continue to worship the God of Capitalism and call it Compassionate Christianity. I, for one, am not going to believe you or listen to you. I'm going to be spending more time taking care of your Mom or Dad for as many hours a week as WELFARE will pay for. I'm going to breathe a cleaner air and enjoy a happier life by knowing that I'm doing what I can no matter how little it really is. I'm going to be giving my time and energy to better pursuits than arguing on the internet. I've got better things to do than waste my time with your greed and anger. I'll be spending my online time with all those godless liberals that have the compassion I find lacking in compassionate conservatives.

I'm not spending anywhere near as much time online as I used to. It's bad enough when you listen to them face to face, but at least they're more careful about what they say. Online, anonymity guarantees someone is going to pick a fight and I'm tired of it. There's just too much anger and too much intentional hurting of others.
I listen to Christians blame the lack of prayers in schools and other public places for the ills of todays society. In the next breath they're calling people less fortunate parasites, lazy, scum, morons, etc. I guess they don't believe in Jesus because He did not teach this behavior.
Lynda Lehmann December 22, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I say, it's simply NOT BELIEVABLE how the "far right" operates. My perception is that they are people who have been deeply wounded but are completely out of touch with their pain; in their hardening they have had to turn their backs on moderation, discourse, and rational moral imperative.
Indeed, the power of their recalcitrance is one of the scariest things I've seen on Earth. For it's not for lack of food and shelter, nor education and privilege, that they disdain all those of perceived "lower stature" than they; it's more or less just plain old misdirected anger and hatred. How can they be so self-deluded? Don't they know that their loud and insistent, EXTREME rhetoric ultimately REVEALS the depth of their spiritual deficit?
Butterose December 21, 2010 at 4:51 pm
And they sure the hell aren't Christians when they use phrases like welfare scum. Between the utter stupidity of the families of some of my clients and a lot of the talk in Twitter, I've had enough.
People pick and choose what they want to believe and to hell with the facts of the matter. Some people managed to push Keith Olbermann into suspending his account last week. He RT'd a tweet regarding Assange that had the word rape in quotations. Well, the man has not been found guilty of the charge, except in the court of public opinion. Minus the facts, of course.
I'm certainly not going to limit contact with my clients, but I can control who I have to put up with online. Limiting myself to 1 hour a day in the evening and I will be getting rid of all those who I see lack the compassion that as Christians they should have.
I've even seen topics in BC forum where the unemployed have been called lazy because they haven't found a job. I've seen otherwise intelligent members say that these problems are better served by churches and families. Yeah! Right! Those families who seem to think they're parents are a major burden on their time and those churches that are producing these Tea Baggers who seem to feel that those in need are scum. Jesus would be so proud of what we've done in the name of HIS religion.

You tell em' girl! 😀
Most people are very ignorant about the economics of welfare. They think it's free lost money. When in fact it is circulated money creating more taxes and benefiting the overall economy.
Joe gets a welfare check…
Joe pays his rent, buys groceries…
the landlord benefits from this, the grocery store benefits from this…
they, in turn spend Joe's welfare money on groceries, rent, gas, etc…
who in turn spend Joe's welfare money…
and so forth and so forth it circulates creating a more robust economy as it changes hands from one person to the next…
each time creating tax revenue…
from a purely economic standpoint the only ' bad ' money is the money that isn't spent in the Country…or is borrowed from another Country…if, for instance you go to France and spend $3000 that's $3000 that is no longer being circulated in ' your ' Country…and isn't therefore benefiting anyone in ' your ' Country.

|New trial helping to improve shingle roads
28 May 2019 - ADC - Hakatere Potts Road in the foothills of the Ashburton District connects travellers with the pristine sights of Lakes Camp and Clearwater, and it is also the site of an innovative experiment to deliver more durable road surfaces.
The Ashburton District Council has been investigating different solutions for particular shingle roads since June 2016 in an effort to improve their lifespan between maintenance work, which in turn, reduces costs.
The Council has discovered that adding basalt (a dark fine-grained volcanic rock) to the standard road metaling mixture provides a smoother road surface that is more resistant to potholes and corrugations - a much more comfortable experience for drivers.
The improved surface requires less maintenance and has seen annual road grading needs drop from 12 to four. The basalt also helps suppress dust brought up by passing vehicles.
This month, Fulton Hogan have begun applying the special mixture to 9.4km of Hakatere Potts Road, from the end of Ashburton Gorge Road all the way up to Lake Camp.
Standard road metal is most effective on shingle roads that are reasonably flat and straight - like most of the shingle roads commonly found around the Ashburton District, however this material does not perform as well on roads with a lot of curves and steeper gradients.
Steep, windy roads - like Hakatere Potts Road, require cars to work harder navigating them, and the force of the braking and accelerating creates potholes and corrugations.
Once completed, the improved road surface should provide a better drive for visitors and locals heading up to the popular lakes.
Fulton Hogan are expected to finish the project in the next fortnight.

Friends Sumlin, Stoops to meet as rivals in Cotton Bowl
Recommended Video:
COLLEGE STATION - Ten years ago, Kevin Sumlin made a lasting impression on Bob Stoops over a three-hour span when Oklahoma played at Texas A&M. Six games prior, then-A&M coach R.C. Slocum had promoted Sumlin to offensive coordinator, and the immediate results were impressive for the once-stagnant Aggies.
None more so than on Nov. 9, 2002, when Sumlin's offense, directed by electric freshman quarterback Reggie McNeal, toppled then-top-ranked OU 30-26 at Kyle Field. Three months later, Sumlin was on Stoops' staff, following Slocum's dismissal by then-A&M president Robert Gates at the conclusion of a 6-6 season.
But that fateful day wasn't Stoops' first impression of the future A&M head coach.
"I had great respect for Kevin before he was the offensive coordinator when the Aggies beat us," Stoops said Wednesday. "Heck, Kevin and I used to run around south Florida together recruiting when he was at Purdue and I was at Kansas State. We were chasing the same kids all the time."
On Jan. 4, Sumlin's kids - aka players - will be chasing Stoops' kids in the Cotton Bowl, and vice versa, in the first on-field collision of the mentor and one-time protégé, who remain close friends.
"Besides the national championship, as far as exciting matchups for bowl games, I'd put ours up there with anybody's," Sumlin said.
When the Cotton Bowl was announced on Dec. 2, Sumlin, 48, said his first reaction was, "Awww" - but then he quickly got over the idea of facing Stoops, 52.
"You never really like in this profession playing really good friends," Sumlin said. "It's awkward at first, then you try to beat the hell out of each other."
A month after Slocum's firing a decade ago, then-Colorado coach Gary Barnett brought Sumlin onboard as receivers coach. But the Sumlin clan didn't have time to unpack its bags in Boulder, Colo., before Stoops reached out to Sumlin for the Sooners' tight ends and special teams gig.
Three years later, Sumlin was promoted to co-offensive coordinator, and following the 2007 season, he earned his first head coaching opportunity at Houston.
"Kevin is incredibly bright in everything that he does," Stoops said. "He relates well with his players, he's an excellent recruiter - all the things you want. He was great here, and he's doing a great job (at A&M)."
Sumlin was 35-17 over four seasons at UH before the Aggies hired him to breathe life into a program that had hovered around .500 over the past decade.
The 10-2 Aggies responded in his first season with double-digit wins for the first time since 1998 and their first Heisman Trophy winner, freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel of Kerrville Tivy, since John David Crow in 1957.
"The winning culture that Bob has created at Oklahoma is something you have to be inside of to really see, understand and feel how it works," Sumlin said of Stoops' influence on his career. "It's how you do things on an everyday basis, the expectation level you have with the players and the program, how you treat people … our families were involved.
"A lot of people have come here and said we do things a lot alike, and I wouldn't doubt it. And that's a compliment."

British tabloid The Daily Telegraph claims that four Barcelona players could end up in the English Premier League next season.
Daniel Alves
Eighteen months ago the right-back was reduced to begging his then club Sevilla to let him move to Chelsea, who valued his attacking tendencies highly. Although he subsequently joined Barcelona, the Stamford Bridge connection resurfaced last month when Chelsea were said to be preparing an end-of-season bid (read more here).
Yaya Touré
The Ivorian, allegedly courted by both Arsenal and Manchester City, would surely be drawn to the Emirates Stadium if pushed thanks to the presence of brother Kolo. The midfield enforcer has flourished into one of the most intimidating playmakers in the world game (read more here).
Samuel Eto'o
Known as a disruptive loose cannon in the dying days of Frank Rijkaard's regime, the Cameroonian has experienced a revival in form this season. As such he has attracted the attentions of Liverpool in the last fortnight (read more here).
Thierry Henry
Still an iconic figure for the Premier League brand, thanks to 174 goals in 254 games during his eight years with Arsenal. A tentative start to his Barcelona career led to rumours of interest from Manchester City but these have since been quashed (read more here).

Snif...snif.. i feel so sory for english clubs.. its incredible the amount of shear bullshit the english newspapers can create per week.. if english players put that imagination in football instead of inventing crap everyday maybe they would play beautiful football.
It must hurt english clubs a lot that even with the enormous amount of money they inject in their football the result is always crap. pure crap. the "big four" or watever, they are vultures stealing other team's players. but even then the result is absolute crap football.
they do not realise that good football does not come from money or buying good players. It comes from the spirit of the club and the culture of the club.
English clubs are full if $(-)!+.. i wanna puke when i hear their name.. buerrk!!!

...true story guys...
- 11 April, 2009
It's not what the EPL clubs want, at the end of the day it is the players who decide their future. Why should any of them leave Barca for a load of old crap. The English game is kick and rush and fall on your backside when touched, hence the Yellow card for Messi. English ref's are so used to seeing CR7 on is backside that they cannot understand why any player would try not to fall over. Hope FIFA ban web from the world cup, the number of errors he made was undeliveable.

Insomnia Leads to Poor Grades, Try Strong Sleeping Pills
Insomnia and other sleep disorders lead to a number of memory issues in the people, like forgetfulness, Alzheimer's disease, poor coordination, poor productivity and much more. According to a new research, lack of sleep can cause a number of health problems including, heart problems, anxiety, depression, stress, obesity, and high blood pressure. More than 30% people across the globe take strong sleeping pills UK to treat their chronic insomnia symptoms.
An unhealthy sleep routine causes serious impacts on your grades or overall performance. Late-night studies or working may improve your productivity for a short time, but when you make sleeplessness a daily routine, it can lead to serious psychological problems.
Try Strong Sleeping Pills
Science says that a normal person needs 6 to 7 hours of sleep in the night for a healthy brain and fit body. Your overall fitness and health depend on the quality of sleep. Your body's internal natural clock, i.e. circadian rhythm controls every activity of your body including, releasing of hormones. Melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone. Is released by the brain to promote sleep in the people.
In addition, when a person doesn't get enough sleep, his mind and body don't get enough rest to prepare for the next day activities. During sleep, our body heals the damaged cells, tissues, and muscles and our brain flushes the unwanted toxins, support learning and transfers the memories or information from temporary storage to permanent storage.
That's why doctors prescribe the sleep-aid medications like strong sleeping pills to treat the severe and chronic insomnia and other sleep disorders. The sleep-aid medications work on the unbalanced brain chemicals and induce sleep in the people. Strong sleeping pills help the people to fall asleep and/or stay asleep easily and quickly.

The Finish Line Inc. on Friday reported a fiscal-fourth-quarter loss of $9.5 million, sending the Indianapolis-based company's stock price plunging in morning trading.
Shares of the retailer of athletic apparel and footwear were trading at $13.40 cents each shortly before noon, a 16.5 percent decline from their closing price on Thursday. Shares fell as low as $12.73 earlier in the day.
The $9.5 million loss compared with a $4 million profit in last year's fiscal fourth quarter.
Earnings, adjusted to account for discontinued operations and asset impairment costs, came to 50 cents per share, well short of analyst expectations, and lower than the 85 cents per share the company reported in the year-ago period. The average estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 70 cents per share.
Sales at stores open more than a year fell 4.5 percent, and quarterly revenue decreased 0.4 percent, to $557.5 million.
Finish Line CEO Sam Sato partly attributed the disappointing sales to the company's reliance on cutting prices to move products.
"Our fourth quarter earnings performance represented a disappointing finish to a challenging year financially for our company," Sato said in a written statement. "As elements of our footwear offering did not resonate with our customers as we expected and the overall retail environment in February became increasingly difficult, we made the decision to get more aggressive on pricing to be competitive and clear slow-moving product. While this allowed us to end fiscal 2017 with clean inventory levels, it put significant pressure on fourth quarter product margins."
In a conference call with analysts Friday, Sato also said sales were pinched by the Internal Revenue Service's decision to delay income tax returns until later in February. Customers often treat their tax returns as disposable income.
"At the same time, elements of our offerings didn't resonate with our customers," he said. "This was true in both running and basketball, our two largest
categories, where full-price selling fell short of forecast."
For the year, the company reported a loss of $18.2 million, or 44 cents per share. Annual revenue was $1.8 billion.
Finish Line has been making moves since the beginning of the year to make headway in a tough retail environment. In January, it reached an agreement to sell its unprofitable JackRabbit chain of 65 specialty running shoe stores to a Los Angeles-based investment firm.
The company operates about 950 Finish Line-branded stores throughout the United States.

Siamak Hariri shares inspiration behind award winning designsBy Newinhomes on Apr 17, 2018
Toronto-based architecture firm, Hariri Pontarini Architects, recently received two Design Excellence Awards, presented by the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA).
The Bahá'í Temple of South America, in Santiago, Chile and Casey House in Toronto were two of the 10 Design Excellence winners.
With the announcement of these big wins for a local architecture firm, we reached out to Siamak Hariri, founding partner at Hariri Pontarini Architects, to learn more about the firm, these two stunning buildings, and his take on the future of Toronto architecture.
Bahá'í Temple
Newinhomes.com (NIH): What was your inspiration behind the Bahá'í Temple of South America?
Siamak Hariri (SH): The project was unique—a huge undertaking and a huge personal privilege, a project of a lifetime. Given the opportunity to design a sacred space for a world religion now approximately 170 years young, we needed the form to be a little new. Maybe it was a little bit like designing the first synagogues or the first churches. The design needed, first and foremost, to feel sacred and to express a welcoming structure for peoples of all faiths (or no faith at all), all backgrounds, all creeds, etc. So far, we are very excited that most weekends, 12,000 to 18,000 people are visiting and calling it their Temple.
The design was inspired by the idea of light, and how we might make a building that would become alive with light—embodied light. The Temple's form captures the light within the envelope—within the translucent stone and cast glass used to build it.
NIH: What challenges did you encounter during the design of the Temple?
SH: The design was at the far reaches of our imagination, technology, engineering, and constructability. Above all else, we had a firm budget of $30 million USD, set in 2006, which we were pleased to have been within 3% of. Additionally, we essentially invented a new type of cast glass for the exterior cladding, in collaboration with the artist Jeff Goodman, and others. Another major challenge was finding the site (something that architects don't normally do)—a nine year journey, which of course, we never anticipated. All in all, the project took 14 years to complete.
Bahá'í Temple
NIH: In addition to the OAA Award, the Temple already has so many awards! Which award for the Temple are you most proud of and why?
SH: The Temple has received many national and international awards. We are deeply committed to exploring the design process towards meaningful and enduring transformation, partnering with institutions to arrive at surprising and astonishing results. Awards are only part of the story. As with all of our projects, we are humbled by the recognition the Bahá'í Temple has received. It's hard to say what award we're proud of the most as they all have significance in their own way.
NIH: What was your inspiration behind Casey House?
SH: We were inspired by June Callwood's legacy of caring and the concept of 'embrace'—the embrace of old and new (the new addition reaching up and over, embracing the heritage house). An embrace around an interior courtyard and one of warmth, intimacy, comfort, privacy, connectivity, and solidity. Furthermore, the design of the exterior seeks to express the 'quilt,' so important to the history of Casey House — a symbol of the importance of community in the battle against HIV and AIDS.
We sought to evoke the atmosphere of a home—a warm and considered environment that can be felt in every detail—the patient rooms, the materials, the gathering spaces, the garden, and of course, in the 'sliver' courtyard.
Casey House
NIH: What challenges did you encounter during the design of Casey House?
SH: This is a prototype—one of a kind in the world—a new model in healthcare. In that sense, it was a deep collaboration between us and Casey House. We met weekly during the design phase with senior staff over a period of many months … and over many pizzas.
One of the many challenges of this project was balancing both the public and private faces of the institution. On the one hand, this project marked a moment of victory for Casey House after years of struggle. The new facility deserved to be a celebration, marked with a rightful place on Jarvis Street. On the other hand, we had to be mindful that there is still stigma attached to this disease, and so, the project also demanded the need for privacy.
The architecture provides for both. On the exterior, the new extension reaches up and over the existing heritage designated Victorian mansion, which has been carefully restored in collaboration with ERA Architects, and on the inside, the sliver courtyard provides privacy, delight, and, of course, light.
Casey House
NIH: Do you currently have any exciting residential projects in the works in the GTA?
SH: We have upwards of 50 residential projects within the practice. These range from very beautiful and unique high-end custom homes to internationally recognized high-rise multi-unit housing projects of up to 4.5 million square feet that are shaping the city's skyline and promise to be the most desired addresses.
NIH: In as few words as possible, describe the future of architecture in downtown Toronto.
SH: We are very positive and optimistic; in fact, I could not think of a better place to practise today.
We extend a big thank you to Siamak Hariri for taking the time to discuss these two award-winning buildings! We can't wait to see what else Hariri Pontarini has in store for the Toronto skyline.

Trees: An Asset to Cities
As the City of Ramsey continues to grow, so too does the number of public assets that the City must manage, such as roads, sewer lines, trails, traffic lights, signage, and trees. Just as regular maintenance of personal vehicles is important to avoid unexpected breakdowns and to extend the useful life, tracking and regular maintenance of these public assets is essential in building long-term community sustainability and resilience.
Ramsey is entering an era of significant reconstruction, which will impact not only streets, but other public assets in the road right-of-way. Understanding the condition of these assets is critical to implementation of the City's Street Maintenance Program, as well as for the sound financial planning and long-term maintenance of the quality of these assets.
Monitoring Our Trees
As a City Planner or Urban Forestry Coordinator, what do you do when a tidal wave of tree disease or pestilence is spreading across nearby municipalities and rapidly approaching your city? The first thing you do is panic. The second thing you do is look at your city's tree inventory to get a sense for how much of your urban tree canopy is at risk. Don't have a tree inventory? Time to make one, and fast! A tree survey is essentially an abridged version of a complete tree inventory that aims to provide a picture of the number, type, age, and condition, of trees in a given area, within a reasonable margin of error. With this data, a city is able to get a sense for the diversity of the urban forest, assess benefits and potential risks (such as pests, disease, and structural hazards), apply for grants, and create management plans for future plantings and maintenance.
Why Ramsey?
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources provided the City of Ramsey with a rapid tree survey in 2010, but many things can happen to a city in eight years! Large-scale development, tree planting, and tree removals have significantly altered the makeup of Ramsey's urban canopy since that time. Knowing just the top ten genera in Ramsey from 2010 was not cutting it anymore. After undergoing a rigorous application process, the City of Ramsey was approved for inclusion in the University of Minnesota's Resilient Communities Program, with a project aim of carrying out a tree survey in summer of 2018, to be completed entirely by volunteers!
Why Volunteers?
Utilization of volunteers for city projects provides opportunity for participants to gain new skills and build community connections. Additionally, a study comparing tree identification and condition data collected by volunteers versus professionals, showed that data from well-trained volunteers agreed with professionally-collected tree identification data 90+% of the time! (Bancks, North, & Johnson, 2018) Other studies on the accuracy of volunteer-collected data demonstrate that, when properly trained, volunteers can achieve nearly identical data collection results to those collected by professional personnel (Swanson, Kosmala, Lintott, & Packer, 2016). Through their participation in this survey, volunteers will collect and provide the City of Ramsey with accurate estimates of tree species, diameter categories, condition, and total count of its public trees.
Requirements for volunteer participation in this survey include being aged to at least 18 years, or otherwise accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and attendance in the volunteer training program. Based on the aforementioned study, and others, completion of the volunteer training was deemed critical for ensuring accuracy in data collection, and is a requirement for volunteer participation.

Our New Year's consists of indulging before the clock strikes 12 and we cut back after the countdown, there's never any cake left after 12 anyways ;).
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of mixed berries
- 1 banana (sliced)
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 3 cups of flour (all purpose or cake flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup egg whites
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup of sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease baking pan (We used a bundt cake pan)
2. Make the caramel by melting the sugar and 1/2 cup of butter together. Do not stir
3. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, Pour into the pan you just greased
4. Add in the fruits to the topping before the caramel sets
5. Beat the butter in a bowl until it becomes creamy
6. Gradually add the sugar, beat until fluffy
7. Slowly add in the eggs and vanilla extract creating a egg batter
8. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients creating a dry mixture
9. Alternate between adding the dry mixture and sour cream into the egg batter , mix until it forms a cake batter
10. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. If you use a chopstick or tooth pick, poke it in the cake and pull it out, it should be clean to indicate that the cake is finished.
Eat it all up before midnight !

From David Warren this afternoon:
"The French have this wonderful word, amour-propre, so much better than our English "self-love." It comes, with its edge, from La Rochefoucauld, his urbane and scintillating Maxims in the seventeenth century. It is the arch-flatterer, "more artful than the most artful of mankind." In parallel, it comes from Blaise Pascal, who observes that Christianity is the only cure. Then it comes again through Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in the "enlightened" eighteenth century, who thought the primitive savages incapable of amour-propre, because they lacked the gilt-framed mirrors of sophisticated society, in which their pride might be reflected. He imagines it the source of all corruption; and with some authority, for he was himself among the most corrupt of men — this Rousseau who taught us all to "blame society.""… read the rest here.
Always remember, "Be charitable in your judgements, and never take yourself too seriously"

Garden of Thorns
Zyra Passive Ability
Introtucing Zyra, the Rise of The Thorns!
Zyra's First Build, the Mage.
Pros / Cons
~ High Ap Rate;
~ Seeds prevent from jungle ganks;
~ Spell Vamp provides great survivability;
~ Great Sustain Early and Mid Game;
~ Weak and Hard to play;
~ Mana dependant;
~ Hard to survive on a teambattle;
~ Hard do play against spamming mages (ex: Ryze)
Zyra's Second Build, the AP Support
Pros / Cons
~ Great Sustain all the Game;
~ Can subistitute an AD Carry early and mid game;
~ Great survivability at Late Game;
~ Maxing Grasping Roots first will be awesome!
~ Not so good as the classic supports (ex: Sona and Karma);
~ Might not help her AD Carry, acidentally lasthitting his minions;
~ Does not have common support skills, like heals or shields;
~ Not recommended on a normal META game.
Rise of the Thorns: Upon death, Zyra returns to her plant form. After 2 seconds, she can press any ability to fire a Vengeful Thorn towards her cursor, dealing 99 + (25 × level) true damage to each enemy it strikes. It's weird, but I coudn't test this ability yet, but from other people, I know that is OP. Like Kog's Icathian Surprise, Zyra shots one last hit to try to kill the enemy, dealing brutal true damage.
- Just because [[rise of the thorns is good doesn't mean that you would be suicide. THATS INSANITY MAN.
- If you know that there's no option, run into your enemy before dies, then your shot will be deadly good.
- If you die being stupid, shoot it on a minion wave, to get some extra gold for the shop.
deadly bloomDeadly Bloom: Thorns shoot from the ground, dealing magic damage to enemies within the area. If Deadly Bloom hits a seed, a Thorn Spitter grows. Thorn Spitter attacks with long range and deals magic damage. Like Nevermove, this ability is a delayed AoE, which appears brief seconds after cast. The plants that grows with this ability will deal range damage, helping you on traps, ganks or jungling.
- deadly bloom has a incredible low cooldown. Cast it whenever is possible, and try to avoid mana problems.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter procs with plants too, you can use it to slow them like a portable Frozen Mallet.
- Use it on seeds, then use Stranglethorns. This will enrage the plants, turning them into deadly destroyers.
Rampant Growth: Plants a seed lasting 30 seconds. If an enemy champion steps on a seed, it will be destroyed but they will be revealed for 2 seconds. Zyra periodically stores seeds and she can hold up to 2 seeds at any given time. Zyra cannot plant any more than 4 plants at a time. Cast spells on seeds to grow plants. Plant damage is based on Zyra's level. Extra plants striking the same target deal 25% less damage.. Yay, wards! These seeds can be helpful at bot lane, when you have a hard jungler ( Amumu, Alistar) against you. Seeds can also reveal stealth champion, when they are stupid enough to walk trought them.
- Seeds have no mana cost, you can use them or as a ward, or as a plant.
- This ability has a great passive: Cooldown Reduction. This is why I didn't choose Ionian Boots of Lucidity for her.
- Don't be mad! Seeds can be destroyed just passing trough them. Put them on strategic places, like inside bushes, inside turrets (yes, this is possible) and inside minion aggro. This will prevent them to be destroyed.
Grasping Roots: Sends forward vines, dealing magic damage and rooting enemies for a short duration. If Grasping Roots hits a seed, a Vine Lasher grows. Vine Lasher has short ranged attack that deal magic damage and slow by 30% for 2 seconds. This is a different version from Morgana's dart binding. Rooting enemies can be awesome if they are trying to escape or trying to catch you, so this is the best way to avoid certain death.
- Take Care! If you are running away from a ranged champion, this will not help enoguh. If they are with low health, a sacrifice must be done! (or you can just ult.)
- These plants are melee, so don't be stupid if the enemy is about 2 kilometers from you and you use the plants to catch it.
- Trapping the enemies with these plants can be awesome, getting extra slow and root!
Stranglethorns: Summons the fury of nature, growing a twisted thicket at target location which deals magic damage to all enemies in the area as it expands. After 2 seconds, the vines snap upward knocking enemies into the air. Plants within the thicket are enraged, increasing their attack speed by 50%. Another delayed ability, which deals amazing damage to an area, knocking the enmies to the air!
- Use it after the plants have been growth.
- Hide into a bush to get a perfect combo with your plants and this ability!
- Fast Champions can get out of it, so use it with knowledge.
Lanning Mid:
deadly bloom
- Summon only one plant with deadly bloom. The 2nd one will be used as a ward to prevent junglers. I needs to be refreshed every 30 seconds.
Lanning Bot:
- The lane maintience is the job for an AD Carry, that will lasthit the minions. You work is defending ganks with both seeds and preventing surprise attacks with Grasping Roots.
- Take care, do not waste mana.
- Summon Plants with deadly bloom and/or Grasping Roots.
- Summon the first plant with Grasping Roots and the second one with Rampant Growth.
- The Interrogation is the selected Summoner Spell ( Exhaust or Ignite).
- Summon Plants with deadly bloom.
- You are not stupid. Flash it's optional.
- Deathfire Grasp can be great to start destroying after rooting with Grasping Roots.
- Summon Plants with deadly bloom and/or Grasping Roots.
- Exhaust will increase its effectiveness.
- Deathfire Grasp can initiate here perfectly.
- Summon Plants with deadly bloom and/or Grasping Roots.
- You WILL be focused, so after using Stranglethorns, immediately use Zhonya's Hourglass (mid) or Flash (mid/bot).
- If you die, die inside the battle. Rise of the Thorns will give an amazing revenge and damage to the enemy team.
- Grasping Roots' plants will slow the enemy preventing you to die.
- In some rare cases (ex: being chased by Vayne or Ashe), use Stranglethorns after rooting them.
- Of course you are bringing Smite if you are planning to do this.
- This combo can be performed only after lv 3. A Video will explain how to jungle with her.
- Wait for the 3rd seed can be annoying and its a waste of time. Summon the first and the second one with deadly bloom and the third one with Grasping Roots.
- When you were fed, you don't need to waste time summoning 3 plants. Just two will finish the jungle.

It feels good to know that other people are just like us. Especially when we have been going through tough times. When we discover a group of people, usually online, going through the same thing as us, we are reassured and comforted. Often these groups will have labels. A way of identifying themselves and what they are experiencing in life. We can go online and discover a labelled group for every emotion that we feel. Anxious and depressed, there are groups for that. Hypochondria kicking in, plenty of blogs for that. Feeling extra sensitive and introverted, there are communities for those labels too. In a yoga phase? Just need to look on Facebook. Digestive trouble-hop on Twitter and follow the hash tags. Though there are labelled groups for everything, when we connect with people that label themselves the same things we label ourselves, we feel less alone. Normal, even. Our experiences are validated and explained. These labels allow us to accept ourselves and what we are going through. But this can be a problem.
Accepting Ourselves Without Labels
Although we use labels all the time, we must be careful in doing so. We should stop and question when we call ourselves "this label," or call him/her "that type of person." Here are some questions we can ask ourselves when we use labels;
1. What would happen if we were to take this label away?
2. How would we feel if we no longer identified with that label/group?
3. Would we still be able to accept ourselves just as we are?
4. Would we be 100% okay with ourselves if we were the only ones with these experiences?
This is where identifying with labels ultimately reveals an inherent problem. We have to be able to accept ourselves exactly as we are, even if it means there isn't a labelled group for our experience. Even if it means there is nobody else that can relate to us, or we are without a label. We must love and accept ourselves because we are worthy of it, not because there is an explanation for why we are the way we are. But how easy is this to do?
Society's Use Of Labels
Our society is really hung up on labels. A glaring example of this is when people have introduced themselves at an event, and the inevitable question that comes first is "what do you do?" At this point, an appropriate title or label is answered. "I'm a ____." This is a classic example of how labels give us our sense of identity. What we should be thinking when this happens is, "Really? Are you a ____? Or is this just something you do?" Our jobs are a part of us, but there is so much more to consider. We as a society want to compartmentalize, label, and put others in a box. What would happen if we were to say, "Nice to meet you, tell me a bit about yourself" instead? This type of exchange would allow information to be shared without the use of labels.
When Labels Limit Us
Are all labels bad though? For example; when we consider people who are experiencing physical or mental problems, we know they need a label (diagnosis) in order to receive the right treatment. This label is necessary and productive. At the same time, these labels can be very limiting. Sure there are instances where labels and corresponding limitations are very real, and it takes acceptance to be at peace with these circumstances. But what about the times when limitations from these labels are self inflicted? We often allow our labels to dictate who we are supposed to be and how we are supposed to act. We tend not to venture outside of our labelled box. For example; we may label ourselves too sensitive to see a concert. Or too inexperienced to apply for a job. Or too anxious to go on a trip. Though some labels are mandatory in our society, it is the ones that impose unnecessary restrictions on us that we need to remain mindful of.
Labels Do Not Provide Self Worth
Many of us have struggled with self acceptance our whole lives. We place so much emphasis on outside circumstances to give us feelings of validation. We need to have the right job, the right appearance, the right skills/interests to feel like we are good enough. This causes us to give our power away to circumstances that have nothing to do with who we really are. We can turn this around. We can become accepting of who we are, stripped of everything. We can love ourselves because there are a lot of great things to love. But our jobs, clothes, skills, and assets must not be why we accept ourselves. No label will ultimately give us this sense of self worth either. We can try our hardest to not allow any label to dictate or inform us of who we are. And if we happen to meet each other at a party, we can share a bit about who we are, not what we do.

Toronto-based DDI has picked up worldwide sales rights to supernatural horror The Cleansing Hour and will launch sales at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) next week.
CEO Jason Moring (pictured) and his team will introduce buyers to the feature about millennial entrepreneurs who get tormented by a demon during a live webcast.
When the evil spirit possesses the fiancée of one of the men, it forces them to expose dark secrets. Ryan Guzman, Kyle Gallner and Alix Angelis star
The Cleansing Hour is currently in post-production and marks the feature directorial debut of Damien LeVeck, who co-wrote the screenplay with Aaron Horwitz and directed the short film upon which the feature is based.
Shirit Bradley, Dan Clifton, Natalie LeVeck and Damien LeVeck from Skubalon Entertainment are producing.
"This an unnerving story that taps into a lot of contemporary issues around technology, voyeurism and the lengths people will go to for online fame," said Moring.
DDI's 2018 TIFF line-up includes A Violent Separation starring Brenton Thwaites, Think Like A Dog with Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox, Sometimes, Always, Never starring Bill Nighy, Becoming with Toby Kebbell, Penelope Mitchell, and Jason Patric, and Nostalgia with Jon Hamm, Catherine Keener, Ellen Burstyn, Bruce Dern, Amber Tamblyn, Nick Offerman, Patton Oswalt, and Jon Ortiz.

What is Premium Full-Spectrum Nano-Enhanced Hemp CBD Oil?
While many products are listed as CBD isolate or Broad Spectrum, Full-Spectrum hemp Oil (FSHO) is when the pure oil extracted contains ALL of the original compounds found in the plant itself; CBD, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, CBD. Full-Spectrum is in fact the only way to unlock the endocannabinoid system which is known as the entourage effect; THC is the only molecule that binds to the CB1 receptor in your brain & body, thus opening the pathways of the endocannabinoid system. Unlike its isolated counterparts that remove all of the THC and plant nutrients, Full-Spectrum Hemp contains more than 100 phytocannabinoids, as well as all sorts of other vitamins and minerals, protein, fiber, fatty acids, terpenes and more. CBD is one of the many cannabinoids found within the hemp plant, which is commonly confused with its sister plant cannabis. Despite growing in popularity now, CBD has been known to be a life-changing plant extract, used for medical purposes going back to ancient times.
VAHO's Nano Enhanced Hemp Oil is the industry-leading phospholipid encapsulation system, providing rapid uptake and unparalleled bioavailability. Meaning it will move through the body with much more speed and ease. You will get much more out of our product with less drops. Nano-enhanced CBD can be absorbed into your bodies system at a rate close to 99% compared to only 25% or less of other CBD products on the market!
On the cutting edge of cannabis research, many experts have concluded that effects of CBD are amplified when combined with the other compounds, Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Flavonoids found within the hemp plant, hence the name Full-Spectrum. This produces life-changing mental and physical effects, and will seek to completely change the pharmaceutical industry as we know it.

Jazz/Fusion legend Lee Ritenour (who bought his Ramirez at GSI) stopped by the showroom this week to tell us about this year's 6 String Theory Competition, which features prizes including a full-ride Berklee scholarship, instruments, and more for guitarists as well as rhythm section players. Go to 6 String Theory for more information, but watch the video to learn about the competition, prizes and the new extended deadline for entry.
There are a few categories for guitar entries, but the winner of the classical/flamenco category gets some great prizes even before going to compete for the overall guitar prize. Prizes for the classical/flamenco category include $2,500 cash, $500 towards travel to Big Fork Montana the last week in August for the Crown Of The Continent Guitar Festival and all fees and food and lodging paid at the festival.
In fact, they are giving away a total of 36 scholarships to the National Guitar Workshop in Montana to the 36 semi-finalists, which not only makes being a semi-finalist pretty cool, but should make the National Guitar Workshop an amazing place to be this year. The finals for the guitar competition will be held at the festival. Not too shabby, so get your entries in by the new, extended, May 10 deadline (which Lee announces in our video).

WATCH: Pennywise Has Returned To Haunt Your Nightmares In The New 'IT' Trailer
You would think that the original horror movie that brought Stephen King's Pennywise to life on the big screen would be a nightmare that couldn't be topped.
You would be very, very, very wrong about that, if the latest look at It is any indication.
Our first glimpses of the killer clown and the kids who dodge his lethal clutches were scary enough, but now that the first full trailer is here, it's official: The new Pennywise, with his sharper teeth, sharper claws, and eerier eyes, is more or less on a personal mission to make sure you never go near the curb on any typical street ever again.
The narration from the top is enough to send a chill down your spine: "You think that you'll always be protected and cared for. Then, one day, you realize that's not true."
To refresh, It follows a group of friends in Derry, Maine, a town plagued by the mysterious disappearances of children — including young Georgie, a kid who made the mistake of letting his newspaper boat float down the wrong gutter. They soon come face to face with Pennywise, the bloodthirsty clown who calls Derry's sewers home, and from there we're treated to a number of godawful images that involve too many clowns to count, sinks spewing blood, and plenty of other terrible things.
It hits theaters on September 8, 2017. Good luck getting a good night's sleep before then, though.
