My background is as a philosopher. I studied for a PhD at Sussex in the philosophy of language, but ever since I was a teenager I have been involved in pro-migrant politics.
I got involved because I was part of Brighton Migrant Solidarity. We identified a massive need to support people with their housing needs in Brighton. It seemed like the most practical thing that we could do. I guess I was involved in BMS because, having a Jewish family, I am only alive because my relatives were able to move relatively freely to the UK. I have never understood why people see immigration as problematic. In fact, it seems to me that movement is beautiful. I want to live in a world where people can move freely and are not made homeless for the non-crime of crossing the border.Read more
About three and a half years ago, I listened to an interview with Jacob Berkson, the founder of T4K, on Refugee Radio and I immediately thought this is the organisation for me!
I had been becoming increasingly upset and angry about accounts of people fleeing life-threatening experiences in their home countries and then enduring terrifying journeys across Europe in order to achieve safety and sanctuary in the U.K. However instead of welcome and sanctuary they received humiliation and sanctions from a hostile and suspicious government.Read more
I decided to volunteer with T4K because I wanted to participate in collective resistance against the hostile environment of Tory government policies. I wanted to be part of a conscious collective that understands the tentacles of these hostile environment policies and its ramification on the everyday life of refugees and migrants that are entrapped by these policies. For me, even though T4K was set up as a systemic response to the Right to Rent law, in practice it takes a holistic approach to fighting back the hostile environment.
I joined T4K because my parents were refugees escaping from the Nazis, and the UK gave them refuge. Without that I would not be here. The current climate is so antagonistic towards refugees and asylum seekers that I felt I must do something to counter it.
The Home Office makes seeking refuge here incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for such people, and charities like T4K, and the volunteers that run it, are vital in defending and championing their cause.
I am a textile artist, working in knitting and crochet, and I participated in an art project that was run by the University of Brighton and the Hummingbird Project in 2017.
My contribution was to make a large collaborative blanket with a message of welcome (the Welcome Blanket), and this became a project which took over my life for about 10 months. In the process, I learned more about the situation of refugees and migrants in Brighton, and specifically how difficult it is for people to actually find a secure and safe place to live here, despite all the warm words and good intentions of well-meaning people like myself.
During the course of the project, we made a film, and after raising around £2000 through donations, sales of cards and events, I donated the blanket itself to T4K.Read more
"Retiring" from my full time work - in education, especially languages - I had the opportunity to see even more clearly how hard things were for new migrants to our supposedly welcoming and liberal city.
For just over three years now I've worked with Jacob and great colleagues to support destitute, at risk, people in Brighton. They come from Africa and the Middle East mainly, and all have so much to give.
As a volunteer with T4k, I've learnt so much from the individuals and families I've been working alongside. And from our great support network in the city.
I am a serial volunteer. In the last 20 years I have volunteered for at least a dozen organisations; in fact even my "day job" is mainly voluntary! I see volunteering in general as a sort of "giving back". I am a member of the much-maligned "baby boomers" generation which is often blamed for, in some way (totally mysteriously to me), grabbing all the goodies that were meant for future generations; so I volunteer in order to make a contribution that might benefit those made less fortunate by the timing of their birth.
With T4K it's a little different; we are helping people who find themselves on the receiving end of a vicious, racist "hostile environment" policy promulgated not by a particular generation, but by a group of people desperate to prop up their privileges by reference to fictional "national" and "ethnic" identities.
We are citizens of the world, and it is our duty to help our fellow-citizens if we can.
Jim (T4K treasurer)
Since the crisis for so many people in the Middle East and Africa escalated, some years ago, I wondered what I could do, so when the idea of T4K was suggested, I felt "this is the right movement for me."
It wasn't even an organisation then. I like that it is a group formed of people of all backgrounds and ages and races and status, some migrants themselves, some local citizens who want to present a challenge to the government's "hostile environment," which has resulted in such injustice and cruelty.Read more
I volunteer because people need help, especially those people escaping war. I'm happy to be a general dogsbody, helping to set up halls for fund raising events, sometimes driving a van and moving furniture . I also help with the some of the financial administration.
A few years ago I was so shocked by the treatment of migrants in Europe I decided I really wanted to try and make a difference, even a very small one, to people coming to Brighton in search of a safer, or just a better life.
T4K was just starting and I loved its ethos and the people involved. Along with other volunteers I've supported a number of people facing unimaginably difficult situations, due mainly to our mean-spirited and "hostile" system. But through T4K I've also seen humanity at its best.

MARILLEVA (1400 m - 2500 m)
Madonna di Campiglio – Marilleva
Numbers and facts:
- 150 modern lifts (17 cable cars, 34 chair-, 10 drag-lifts)

- 35 km of cross-country trails
- 5 Snowparks
- Baby park
- Night skiing
- 22 restaurants on the slopes
- Located in the forrest
Ski Area:
Since 2012 the independent ski resorts Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Folgàrida and Marilléva have been connected to form the largest ski area in the whole Trentino region: Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta. The new gondola between Pinzolo and Madonna di Campiglio offers outstanding views of the Brenta Dolomites and opens a whole new world of skiing possibilities on over 150 km of perfect slopes. With only one ski pass you can discover the beauty of one of Italy´s largest ski areas.
The whole area is connected with 61 modern, fast ski lift systems that can transport 31.000 people per hour. The three lift companies can issue three kinds of lift passes: their own pass, the pass for the ski area (Folgarida-Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo) or the Superskirama pass, created a few years ago.
Marilleva itself has 30 km of slopes, 21 lifts and offers great skiing possibilities, particularly for intermediates and beginners. Two large tourist areas, offering an wide range of services, give direct access to the ski runs, the "Val Panciana-Marilleva" Snowpark and the "Biancaneve". On the predominantly blue ski slopes cheerful music will accompany you and increase the holiday feeling, but professionals will also find black slopes, such as the "Nera Folgarida", at 1.8 km in length. Special highlights are the illuminated slopes and the "Orso Bruno", one of the most beautiful runs in the region.
Over 55 km of cross-country trails are waiting for you in the whole ski area. In the town of "Vermiglio" (approx. 20 km away) is the longest trail (approx. 10 km) and is of intermediate level. If you want to go higher, don't miss the high-altitude trail at "Passo Tonale" (5 km) at nearly 1,900 m!
The Town:
Marilleva is separated in the lower town Marilleva 900 and the higher part Marilleva 1400. As the name already suggests, the towns are located 900 and 1400 meters over sea level. The higher, Marilleva 1400, is located in the middle of a beautiful pine tree forest. The town mainly consists of hotels and entertainment facilities that are carefully positioned in between this natural paradise. Nevertheless the main reason to visit Marilleva are the outstanding skiing and snowboarding possibilities. The hotels are mainly positioned right next to the lifts and offer comfortable transportation.
Marilleva 900 is the more typical alpine village, positioned next to the beautiful river "Noce". Here you will find traditional restaurants and a lot of sport options, such as taking long walks through the breathtaking valley or Hinking.
Non-skiing activities can be enjoyed at the ice skating rink, a tennis hall or the ice stadium in "Folgarida" and in "Mezzana". Or, you can explore the snowy mountain landscape on snow shoes. Recommended are day trips to the somewhat larger resort Malè (approx. 20 km away) and the world-famous ski metropolis Madonna di Campiglio (approx. 35 km away). You can also enjoy traditional culinary food in one of the numerous restaurants.
Marilleva has a recreation and sports resort that is located on the banks of the Walnut River down the valley, which is also the venue of the world canoeing championships. You can find further restaurants, bars, spa-facilities and entertainment possibilities in close by villages such as "Madonna di Campiglo" and "Folgoria".
You will find great children's areas and practice slopes in all of the villages including Marilleva. The numerous ski schools take good care of their little guests and offer a fun and friendly environment to learn skiing. The highlight is "Daolasa Kids" at the "Val Mastellina" mountain station. Here are a few features the resort has to offer to kids:

- Magic carpet/people mover
- Children's lifts
- Practice lifts near the valley
- Practice lifts directly at the feeder lift
- Ski kindergarten
- Ski school for children
- Child care
- Playground/park
In the ski area "Folgarida-Marilleva" there are 2 snow parks. In the resort Marilleva lies the "Alternative Snowpark", which is located right next to the mountain hut "Malba Panciana". Just as in nearly all the other Italian snow parks, this one is also tended to with lots of dedication and therefore it is a popular refuge for all adrenaline junkies. With the 6-person gondola "Malga Copai-Panciana" you can easily cross the entire area, which is fenced off with security nets.
300 m² of area, dotted with various obstacles, such as different boxes and rails, as well as various kickers and a quarter pipe, offer a special experience especially for pros. Although the park was opened not too long ago, it is already included in the list of hosts for competitions and festivals. You will surely not be bored here!

Here is my favorite shou pu'er of the Verdant Tea line. This brick has an assertive mustiness that is not overwhelming, but perfectly balanced with the cleanliness of the color and mouthfeel of this tea. Clean and cooling, the description says it well; the camphor builds up throughout the steepings and gives way to a sweet plum or fig flavor. Well done Verdant!

We're growing fast – last year we developed a new robotic hardware platform and traveled to two countries, where we conducted two new workshops and strengthened relationships with students and teachers. While we were there, we planned to set up operations in two new countries. There we will support some of our former students as they become Full Stack Embedded teachers with students of their own. How exciting!
All these activities cost time, which we give gladly, and money. Up till now we've financed everything ourselves – hardware costs, travel, communication, everything. And as our activities expand, costs will rise. We'd love for Full Stack Embedded to keep pace with our students' dreams, and we're confident that we can do so – with your support.
In order to recover the costs for our 2017 activities, we've started a crowdfunding campaign. This is a short term activity and we will be expanding possibilities for more regular donations in the future. In the meantime, though, if you like what we're doing and want to be a part of it, please check out the campaign and contribute if you can.
If you're interested in contributing your time to the project – whether you program, do design, hardware development or are good at communicating with people – we need you. It's a great opportunity to learn and contribute to something meaningful. Get in touch with us and we'll get you started.
In the meantime, keep dreaming and keep innovating! We can't wait to see what 2018 brings.

This Pet-Friendly Apartment is Perfect for Cats and Humans Alike
"the cats are owners too, they are not pets"
Chans House
Is it possible to live in a pet-friendly home without having to sacrifice your personal style? According to this stylish Vietnamese apartment, absolutely yes.
Sharing a small space is never easy, especially when there are four cats involved. But that's exactly the predicament Mr Minh Anh Cao and his wife had to navigate when deciding how to decorate their new home. Their design brief dictated a living space that was simple but unique. On top of that, the couple wanted to adopt a design that worked to the needs of their feline friends; after all "the cats are owners too, they are not pets" they say.
The result is a pet-friendly minimalist abode that's the perfect sanctuary for both cats and humans. Let's take a peek at how they did it.
Originally made up of a series of smaller rooms, the main living area of the apartment now consists of a bright open plan living, dining and kitchen area. I love the clever use of that oak wood locker system to hide the bathroom and TV. When closed, the streamlined unit helps to create a sleek facade that plays to the simplicity requested by the owners.
For the cats, built-in cubby holes function as private entrances to the bathroom and bedroom. What a great way to make your pets feel like this is truly a space of their own!
A minimalist design aesthetic doesn't necessarily equate to a strictly neutral color palette. The addition of just one bright accent shade can instantly add life to a home whilst still adhering to those precepts of simplicity and restraint. Here, a pop of yellow adds a refreshing design detail that draws the eye to the coziest part of the room.
A change of color palette and an elevated platform help to visually define the kitchen. I particularly like the juxtaposition of the sophisticated chrome and black marble accents alongside the whimsical chalkboard wall.
In the bathroom, the same minimalist style reigns supreme. Notice the special custom cat toilet area, complete with extractor fan, a cat wardrobe, sandbox and cat toiletry cabinet.
To effectively utilize the master bedroom's large windows, a glass panel wall separates the room from the living space. Here, colors are restricted to cool toned grays, blues and whites for a calming sleeping quarter. A low-lying futon bed makes it easy for the couple's posse of cats to join them for an afternoon cat nap.
Just off the open plan living space lies a multi functional room separated by floor to ceiling drapery. The space works variously as a guest bedroom, dining area, home office and cat playroom as and when it suits.
By incorporating the needs of their feline friends into the design of their pet-friendly home, it is clear that Mr and Mrs Minh Anh Cao view their cats as an integral part of the family. As a fellow animal lover, it is a relief to tour a home that proves pet friendly and aesthetic appeal needn't appear as two irreconcilable sides of a whole. Overall I paw-sitively love this apartment – what do you think?

text: Hello, I am using LG T1-5316A9. When I checked SLIC for this laptop, it did not had any of SLIC. So, I requested to LG for new BIOS and after I install the new bios, I saw SLIC table from Everest. However, I was unable to activate my laptop, so I checked SLIC table from the firmware. After I check real SLIC, I realized that the bios is missing 3/4 of SLIC. There are only names but no data.(as you can see from the picture) Also, I checked SLIC through acpiscope and the dump from the bios file. So I guess this is correct result of my SLIC. I was searching the web for long time, but could not find SLIC for LG. So, does anybody can post SLIC for LG so I can use it for my laptop?? Best regards.

Last week, Justin shared about his most challenging parts of our journey. It's true that no two Caminos are the same, and as Justin mentioned, our perspectives on the challenges of our journey differ. Here are my thoughts on my most challenging moments of our wheelchair journey through Spain.
Struggles come in many shapes and sizes. The challenges of life sometimes push us to our physical limitations, others have us questioning our purpose, and still others bring us to the brink of emotional or mental depletion. The Camino generously provided all of the above for me.
As we travel, we often participate in Q and A after we speak. Anytime someone asks me what the hardest part of our journey was, my first answer is always the Pyrenees. Day one we faced a total of 17 miles with 4000 feet of elevation gain and a 250-pound fully loaded wheelchair. Half way up the 13-mile ascent I felt pain unlike any I had experienced. Three knee surgeries had left little to no cartilage in my right knee and the constant abuse I was putting my body through was more than I was prepared to face. But the stretches of mud we hit set all my muscles on fire. Every inch of my arms, body, and legs felt the burn from the constant strain. I still don't know how Justin, Ted and I made it to Roncesvalles that first day.
While the Pyrenees presented the greatest physical challenge, the amount of self-reflection I experienced on the Camino forced me to take a serious look at who I was and I didn't like what I saw. For years I viewed my self as a provider for my family. I had put bread on the table and helped make sure the bills were paid. My kids had clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads, but for several years I had failed to visibly express my love to my wife and kids in a way that left no room for doubt. I hadn't provided in a way that met one of their most basic needs. My purpose, first and foremost, is to love and I hadn't done that well.
Shortly after I came to terms with who I was for my family, versus who they deserve and who I want to be; I faced a moment where I realized my constant need for control, my obsession with perfection had actually prevented me from experiencing more in life. This same need for control and perfection had prevented me from letting others step in and freely help. That is until we reached a moment where the only way to move forward was through the strength and will power of others carrying Justin up a mountain.
Just as Justin had to embrace my help and the help of many others to do what he could not do on his own. One of the greatest gifts I could give my friend was to allow others to do what I could not do on my own. This was the only way we were going to make it to Santiago, and it's the only we can make it through life.
As tough as the journey was I wouldn't trade it for anything. The hardest moments of the Camino showed me that I had more strength than I thought I possessed. They held a mirror to my face showing me who I could be versus who I was. The struggles gave me the strength to let go of the reigns of what I thought was safe and the wisdom to let others carry what I am not equipped to carry... when we do this; we experience more than we ever could on our own.

UNDERBANK RANGERS coach Richard Knight believes the life and soul is back in the team as Dave Valentine returns to National Conference League Division III action at home to St Albans Centurions tomorrow (2.30).
The Huddersfield summer side may be fielding a slightly-depleted squad for their first League clash of the season at The Cross, but confidence remains high as they look to make amends and put the Hemel defeat behind them.
Prop forward Valentine makes a return after recovering from a couple of knocks that sidelined him for last week's opener, and Knight believes this could be a telling factor in erasing the memory of the Hemel loss.
"Dave Valentine is really the life and soul of our team," said Knight.
"He is a good talker, he works really hard and he also emphasises what we are looking for this weekend.
"Hopefully the sort of character that Dave is will rub off on the rest of the team and help raise their game.
"The ground will be wet and really slow due to the weather, so it is about taking that mentality and giving it your all.
"There's no substitute for effort, and if everyone puts in the right attitude and 100 per cent on the field, then we should be able to do the job."
Bank will enter the game with a weakened back line as injury means Leon Alexis-Bailey and Nick Briggs are both absent. Will Midgley also looks doubtful as he looks to recover from a shoulder problem.
Despite key absences, Knight knows his side's defensive game is strong and there will be no repeat of the poor performance shown against the Stags.
"We may be struggling at the back without the likes Leon and Briggs," added Knight. "But we have done quite a lot of work on our defensive game to improve our line-running and tackling which should work in our favour this week."
Regardless of not coming away with three points in their opening game of the season, Knight is ready to trade another win for a strong display.
Bank came out of last week's fixture six points shy of Hemel, but it was the display on the field that concerned the coach, not the result.
"Its not so much about winning and proving last week was just a blip, it's about everyone getting back to their best and making improvements, both individually and as a team," he continued.
"When we start to do that then the winning will come with it, so this week I'm focused on picking up our performance and making sure everyone is back to the same strength they were last season."

Work Related Learning
Preparing our students for the world of work…
Work Related Learning
How it works…
Pinewood pupils are expected, throughout the Key Stages, to address different aspects of the world of work. In Key Stage 3 this is generally addressed through the P.S.H.C.E curriculum. In Key Stage 4, provision is made for all pupils to recognise, develop and apply their skills for enterprise and employability. All pupils are given an experience of work, where they can undertake tasks and activities to extend their understanding of the work place.
Some pupils are able to access an independent work placement, which is arranged by the school through the Careers service. It is more beneficial for some pupils to have a more limited, supported work experience based here at Pinewood School. They are encouraged to apply some of the learning gained from work experience to their Key stage 4 courses and their career planning.
In Year 10 we have in recent years been able to attend Opportunity's Day at The University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield. This has proved not only to be a thoroughly enjoyable day, but a real opportunity for pupils to have 'hands on' experiences of different employment and speak to people who are doing those jobs.
Pupils also undertake activities to develop their skills to manage their further career aspirations. This includes guidance interviews with the Connexions personal advisors that focus on their Post 16 education. Pupils prepare their CV's and learn through work experience interviews, how to present themselves well.
Throughout Key Stage 4 pupils are expected to reflect on and record achievements, abilities, interests and skills and use them to make realistic choices for progression after Key Stage 4.

This poem is all about: A friend who had hurt his beloved friend but when his friend asks forgiveness, he was rejected and told that it will never work anymore. The painful truth will set him free. Friendship gives happiness in every hearts of man but may give also aches when it is broken suddenly.
Photo by Becca Tapert on Unsplash
Since the day that I met you
My heart was filled with blithe
You gave colors to my world
Because of smiles, you brought
You make me laugh when I'm sad,
After a moment, I'm already glad.
You're a good friend! So, told me-
"I will treasure till the end."
One day I saw you crying.
They said because of my wrongdoing.
I told you to smile but you did not,
Because of me, anger filled your heart
I was hurt, don't you know?
Our friendship broke, why is it so?
I tried to ask you, you turned your back
I said sorry but you answered-
"That's not enough!"
I decided to let go
With our friends that didn't ever flow.
And how hard I wish today,
That you'll forgive me someday

The last day of the year, the time when everyone does the "Let's look back. . . " or the "Lets see what the future hold for 2008."
I'm sitting here like I do so many days seeing there is yet another update to WordPress version 2.3.2. I didn't bother with 2.3.1 and now there is talk of 2.4 just around the corner.
There has been one post here in two months. That is pathetic and the one post that is new was written by Steve Belt on his experience of a Domain Name Change for his blog. Thanks Steve for sharing your experience. From the look of your blog you survived the transition and will thrive in 2008.
There haven't been a lot of new plug-in though I've downloaded a few, but installed none recently.
I've been busy these past couple of months with of all things "The business of Real Estate" I know all of us are supposed to be taking second jobs or finding new careers because of the death of the real estate market, but that hasn't been the case for us. We just had our best year ever. The past two months have been incredibly busy.
Even so, I've found time to post on the other three RE blogs I author and maintain. So what's the deal? I hate WordPress 2.3 interface. They broke it in so many ways and moved things around which to me are not intuitive that I hate working on it, or with it. This is the only blog I've updated to the 2.3 version. The rest are still familiar and I like it that way.
I had to take two days just to get the lab back functioning after the upgrade which killed my favorite plugins for tagging and the editor interface as well as the spellchecker. I finally cobbled it all back together still giving up some functionality on meta tags which I had before. What did I gain. Internal tags which I already had with Ultimate Tag Warrior. I gave up a lot of tagging structure and interface familiarity as well as having to spend hours getting the editor and spell checker back functioning only to be faced with a constant reminder "A new version of WordPress is available!" Yippee Skippy!
Yes this interface has kept me from spending much time here.
But it isn't the only reason there have been few posts. Google has been making changes so fast there isn't even time to check if something is being impacted before they change again which throws out all analysis to date and I start over. Running all the blogs on different versions with some plugin only working on the newest version and some only working up to 2.3 makes it a lot harder to evaluate and recommend any of them.
I've been working on several posts but the data I have is either inconclusive or I haven't even figured out what I'm looking at yet. I have data on Google Alerts which comes in all the time. I know some of what I'm seeing isn't what is supposed to be happening, but I don't know yet exactly what is happening. It might be some people/sites buying links. But I don't know if that is the case, I suspect it is but their links have "no follow" on them which means they are paying for links which they are getting but are of no use to them other than providing income to the business they are paying, if this is what I'm seeing.
I'm hoping the new version will fix some really annoying bugs in the 2.3 version. I'm about to find out as I disable all the plugins and go through the painful process of upgrading and finding what is new and what is broken in the process.
I'm a big fan of "If it isn't broken don't fix it." This is something I wish the WP Dev team would take to heart in 2008. The blogging interface should be there to expedite the process not continue to move land mines around and create new ones for the end users which are the bloggers themselves.
Oh, yeah, to all that have been helped this year from dropping by the Lab, Happy New Year! The same to all those who have contributed very helpful information in comments and guest posts.
Now I've broken my silence and gotten my rant out of the way maybe I can move on. There are some new things coming which are interesting, not all related to WP or Plugins. All of this is assuming the 2.3.2 upgrade doesn't blow the lab to kingdom come.

The Ministry of Land Management this week reported a 19 percent drop in the number of approved construction projects for 2018, with only 2,867 projects being greenlighted, compared to 3,052 last year.
Total investment in construction projects this year totalled $5.2 billion, down from 2019's $6.4 billion.
Local real estate experts, however, are not worried by the dip.
Chrek Soknim, president of the Cambodian Valuers and Estate Agents Association, said, "Construction activity continues strong, as you can see by just walking around the city.
"There is still a lot of demand for residential projects because young people, particularly newly-weds, are now looking for their own house.
"I believe in the future more investors will come because there is still plenty of land to be developed. Our economy is growing fast, which will continue to attract investors," he said.
Mr Soknim said 2019 augurs well for the property sector, with experts expecting strong economic growth and political stability.
Po Eavkong, CEO and co-founder of Advance Real Estate Company, said the decrease does not reflect the real situation of the sector, explaining that projects that are waiting for approval are not including in the statistic.
"2016 and 2017 saw tremendous growth in the number of registered projects, so it makes sense that in 2018 this growth would slow down.
"It doesn't mean there is a problem. Big projects take between 2 to 3 years to finish, so it makes sense that we see some years where the registration rate is slower," Mr Eavkong said.
According to the ministry, of the total number of approved projects, 245 (approximately $4.8 billion in investment) were registered with the ministry, while 2,622 ($400 million investment) were approved by provincial authorities.
There was a total of 2,420 residential projects, amounting to 18,471 units, and an investment capital of $1.8 billion. 110 high-rise buildings (more than five floors) were approved in Phnom Penh, as well as 28 borey projects.
Hoem Seiha, director of research at VTrust Appraisal, said it will take a long time for the market to return to normal levels.
"From 10,000 to 13,000 new homes are joining the market every year in our country, which is low compared to other countries," he said, adding that, "The real estate sector needs more investment. There are not enough condo units to house the people that will come to the country in the future."

Shaving My Beard Made Me Realize the Worst Compliment You Can Give a Man
On Wednesday night I took the stage at Lovin' Cup in Henrietta and had my beard shaved during our Bald for Beards event to help raise money for a couple of different charity organizations that help kids, teens, and young adults in their battles with cancer. The event was an amazing success and we raised over $5,000! Thank you to Sue from Sue's Finishing touch and her girls for donating their time!
Now despite the fact I knew there would never be a better reason to shave my beard, I had some reservations. For the last 8 years I've rocked a beard. It's been part of my identity. I don't even recognize myself when old photos pre-beard pop up in my Facebook memories. So needless to say I was pretty nervous about what I was going to look like and even more nervous about what people's reactions would be.
About 12 hours post shave, here's the top 3 reactions I've gotten so far...
1. You look so young
2. You look so different
3. You look adorable
Only one of those reactions can technically be considered a compliment, but that's the one that stings the most. "You look adorable". You might be asking yourself, what's the big deal? Take a compliment, dude. Let me explain it to you...
NO self respecting man wants to be referred to as adorable. Let me break it down. When I think of the word adorable, these are some things that come to mind.
1. Babies
2. Old people
3. Cute animals
People love all three of those things, but they also share something else in common, they all have ZERO sex appeal and are usually prefaced by someone saying, "awwwwww", another thing no man ever wants to hear when it comes to their appearance. I'm not trying to come off bitter or jaded, of course I'm still glad I shaved and helped out an amazing cause, but I just want to educate you. The next time you want to call a man adorable, just pause for a second and think, "maybe I should just tell them they look good."

Rolex slipped to second place after two years at the top, closely followed by Coca-Cola, the BBC and Heinz in third, fourth and fifth positions respectively.
Microsoft and Google remain in the top 10 in sixth and seventh place, but Apple plummeted from second to 14th place, despite topping the CoolBrands list in September last year. Facebook, which previously ranked at 14, dropped out of the top 20 entirely.
Boots entered the top 20 for the first time since the consumer element was introduced to the survey in 2006, at 15th place, two rungs below Amazon, which also landed its first spot in the top 20.
Stephen Cheliotis, chairman of the Superbrands council, said: "British Airways has always performed well in the survey, but over the last two years, its reputation has climbed to new heights, partly through the cementing of its successful 'To Fly. To Serve.' positioning and the residual goodwill from its effective 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games association.
"On the flip side, Apple and the other tech giants have suffered, with Apple particularly struggling to meet arguably unrealistic high expectations."
Cheliotis added that it was "increasingly clear" that in the short term, Apple was struggling to maintain its innovation record in the eyes of consumers, although "the fall of its US peers suggests a growing lethargy among consumers toward the American tech giants in general".
The list has been compiled by surveying more than 3,000 members of the British public, in a process overseen by The Centre for Brands Analysis on behalf of Superbrands UK.

Bolivian currency - the boliviano - is divided into 100 centavos. Notes - Bs. 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10.Coins - Bs. 5, 2 and 1, ctvs. 50, 20, 10. -Try not to accept Bs. 200 notes as they're hard to break. -There are ATMs all over La Paz and the main banks and good bureau de change are on the Calle Camacho.-If you need a wire transfer the easiest is Western Union or Money Gram, someone deposits the money, emails you the code and secret question and you can collect the cash there and then.-Dollars can be used for large purchases but you should always have bolivianos available.-Because of numerous abductions of travellers or at least their cash cards don't be surprised if after you use your card once in an ATM machine you can't use it again. The bank is wondering why someone from the UK, US, etc. is using their card in far-away Bolivia. Call your bank and it will be reinstated.
DON'T change money on the street as they are very good at making it look like they're giving you 7 x Bs. 100 and 2 minutes down the street you'll realise you've only got Bs. 600.

Comprehensive quantitative analysis of central carbon and amino-acid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under multiple conditions by targeted proteomics (2011)Molecular Systems BiologyDecades of biochemical research have identified most of the enzymes that catalyze metabolic reactions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The adaptation of metabolism to changing nutritional conditions, in contrast, is much less well understood. As an important stepping stone toward such understanding, we exploit the power of proteomics assays based on selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry to quantify abundance changes ...Journal Article
Modularity and hormone sensitivity of the Drosophila melangaster insulin receptor/target of rapamycin interaction proteome (2011)Molecular Systems BiologyGenetic analysis in Drosophila melanogaster has been widely used to identify a system of genes that control cell growth in response to insulin and nutrients.

However, the biochemical context of this regulatory system is still poorly characterized in Drosophila. Here, we present the first quantitative study that systematically characterizes ...Journal Article

Below is a listing of Assumption Parish land patents. By using the township map to the left, and the listing below, the researcher will be able to pinpoint the location of the patented land within a six-mile square area. Range lines run north and south, and township lines run east and west. For instance, if a land patent showed land in Township 13, Range 13, the researcher simply locates the intersection of the range and township. The six-mile square (called a township) where the range and township intersects will show the general location of the land. In this instance the property would be located in western Assumption Parish. Land patents were issued by the Federal government when public lands were sold to the public. Land Offices were established in the district handling the land transactions. They would frequently move and close within the States as the land within their jurisdiction began dwindling.
Land patent documents contain additional information. The primary identification numbers are located in the upper left-hand corner of the document, e.g. a document number, warrant number, serial number or patent number, mining claims, etc. Beginning in July 1908 patents were identified with a GLO Serial number, that number appears at the top or bottom of the document. These numbers were assigned consecutively and filed numerically at the opening and closing of the various land offices. Military Warrant numbers are found in the body of these patents. Homestead patents have an assigned application number. Signature and Date will reflect the President of the United States of America in office at the time. Beginning on June 17, 1948, the authority was delegated to the Secretary of the Interior to issue patents on public lands.
Patentee names are shown in various areas of the patent. In instances where the patentee was not the original purchaser of the land, the patent will state the purchaser as the Assignee, heirs, and devisees. Military warrants will have the name, rank in service, and a regiment they were affiliated with. These patents were issued in favor of the Officers and Soldiers for their service in the Military, but were often assigned to their heirs or other individuals.
Be sure to visit the U.S. Bureau of Interior's General
Land Office website, where you can obtain a copy of the original patent
from the list below. Simply click on the menu button near the top of the
page labeled "Search Land Patents." The original land patent will also
give the Section Number of the land, as well as the particular division
of the section, where the land was located.

On Grimms' Bicentennial, Reading Fairy Tales Demands Creativity
Although fairy tales did not appear in Scholastic's forecast of children's publishing trends for the coming year, they certainly blanketed the arts media in 2012, the bicentennial of the Brothers Grimm's first published compilation of tales. A wealth of articles—and three recent book releases—reflect the current interest in how fairy tales fit into learning, teaching, writing, and literature today.
Recent stories on NPR and in Smithsonian Magazine have highlighted a newly discovered early work by Hans Christian Andersen and obscure variations on well-known tales.
Fairy tales retold for a young adult audience are increasingly popular, and the LA Review of Books has published interesting reviews of titles like Ella Enchanted, Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast, and Beast (another retelling of you-know-what and the you-know-who). Reel Culture, the Smithsonian.com film blog, took a look back at film adaptations of Snow White, in light of the recent releases "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "Mirror, Mirror".
Maria Popova, who blogs at Brain Pickings and writes often and at length about fairy tales, posited a direct line of descent from Grimm to comic books. Coursera, the MOOC operator, offered a course on Fantasy & Science Fiction that includes fairy tales and fables in its introductory units.
Our contemporary interest in fairy tales is oddly reflected in the publication this year of The Fairy Ring; or, Elsie and Frances Fool the World (Candlewick), an account of the Cottingley Fairies hoax to which none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fell victim. Booklist named The Fairy Ring the top youth nonfiction title of 2012.
A trio of recent releases—The Annotated Brothers Grimm edited by Maria Tatar (W.W. Norton); Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm : A New English Version by Phillip Pullman (Penguin); and Gossip from the Forest by Sara Maitland (Granta Books)—celebrate the Grimms' bicentennial with new translations and reinterpretations of the tales. Each work examines the canonical and iconic tales through a different lens, recreating them for modern readers using a variety of storytelling techniques.
Tatar's annotated tales encourage one to read with a sense of history and context. Her notes tie elements within the tales to each other through shared themes and motifs. She doesn't appear to promote one set or theory of fairy tale archetypes over another, but does refer to Charles Perrault and other major interpreters of the tales wherever they have strayed significantly or in interesting ways from the originals. Many of these variations have been passed down into common knowledge; acknowledging the evolution of a text is one way to make it accessible to a wide range of readers.
Bookmarks readers may be familiar with Martin Gardner's The Annotated Alice, one of my longtime favorites. Perhaps it was Lewis Carroll's inventive language that made for margin notes as solemnly silly as the original text, but I found the intertwining narratives irresistible. How to comment upon a story itself composed of twists, turns, and self-reflexive comments? Annotating fairy tales offers a similar challenge, especially considering the depth of meaning associated with the Grimms' tales over the centuries. Tatar is never commenting on the tales alone, but writing in conversation with generations of readers, writers, and theorists. Her book offers a reminder that social reading has a long history.
Pullman's explicit intent in rewriting the Grimms' tales was to achieve improved readability and an economy of storytelling. Marjorie Ingall, writing in the New York Times Sunday Book Review, praised the humor and wit he brings to the telling and the dialogue, too. As in His Dark Materials, Pullman's Paradise Lost-inspired science fiction trilogy, how people talk is inseparable from what they have to say.
Clean storytelling of this kind is as much a writing tool as a boon for readers. The New English Version seems meant to be memorized and recited out loud—performed, even. It offers a framework: a clean text from which to improvise and spin off fanciful variations, asides, pathos, bathos, and physical comedy.
As Pullman told Mother Jones, "I like the psychological flatness of [the characters], the fact that they're more like masks than individuals." Anyone can put on a mask; similarly, anyone can aspire to inhabit the tales. In the same interview, Pullman credited storytelling before a class of middle school students with inspiration for the project: "Children aren't interested in the least about your appalling self-consciousness. They want to know what happens next. They force you to tell a story." The challenge of reciting tales, poems, and myths of all kinds provided motivation.
Tatar adds layers of meaning, unearthing and putting them in order; she's produced a starter library in a single volume. Pullman, on the other hand, strips away as much as he can without denuding the tales and the telling of narrative power. While Tatar's annotations offer a way into the tales through reading, Pullman makes them accessible through writing and reciting. Reading the volumes together may therefore be as important as reading them one at a time.
Gossip From the Forest, Sara Maitland's memoir of sorts reflecting on Britain's ancient woodlands—and not to be confused with a 1975 Thomas Kenneally novel of the same name—offers a well-received example of how fairy tales may provide the jumping-off point for writers to explore myth and nature in their own lives. Jack Zipes, writing in the LA Review of Books, paired reviews of Maitland's and Pullman's books. Maitland, Zipes suggests, emphasizes the resilience of children evident throughout the traditional tales, and her rewritings tend to emphasize this quality, especially as manifest in young female characters.
Interestingly, Maitland appears to link forests—an everpresent setting and motif in the Grimms' tales—with "nourishment," says Zipes, and play. Given the dangerous, bloody-minded, and utterly conscience-free creatures described lurking in the woods, I wonder at this characterization. It is one thing to declare, as Maitland does, that "everyone knows that forests are magical." It's quite another to bend this meaning to suggest that "magic," in fairy tales, is unequivocally and universally a force for good.
According to Brian Palmer, writing in Slate, the "invention of children's literature" through publication by the Grimms and Hans Christian Andersen represented a major shift from the kind of literary material children once read. Fables, epics, psalms, and Bible stories, all organized around moral teachings of one kind or another, previously made up the bulk of this material. The reinvention of fairy tales and folk tales as literature for children introduced elements of play, mischief, and chaos into what had previously been a canon of straightforward character education.
It's hard to say whether Grimms' tales have explicit moral lessons to offer, though they impart the value of courage and cleverness. They differ quite a bit from fables in this regard, despite common trappings like animal characters and sylvan settings. Often the resilience characteristic of the Grimms' young heroes and heroines is manifest in their ability to distinguish between clever and foolish decisions, not necessarily between good and evil.
The very plainness and oddness of fairy tales offers a great deal of room for philosophical interpretation, as Tatar notes both in her annotations and in her own review of Pullman's translations: "As with nonsense poetry, narrated dreams, and surreal fictions, we have to interpret and backfill as well as absorb when we listen or read." In this fashion, fairy tales give back to the reader as much as he or she is willing to put into them: the perfect vehicle for creativity, curiosity, and wonder.

How I Teach: Will Potter
by Joey Feith
The more I teach, the more I realize how lucky I am to be a part of the #physed community. Every day, I find myself being inspired and wowed by this group of amazing teachers from around the world. That's why I've decided to take a second each week and highlight one of these incredible educators. This week's post comes from an awesome teacher from California who is the king of getting families involved in physical education!:
Name: Will Potter
Where Are You From: Belmont, California (SF Bay Area)
Where Do You Teach: Serendipity School
One word that best describes how you teach: Imaginatively
What apps/tools/resources can't you live without?
Teaching exclusively outside, I can live without a lot of tech; but I love my iPhone 7 for photos, Block Rocker Stereo for music, iPad for digital posters/videos, and the Plickers App for assessment.
What do your #physed classes look like?
When you come to my class you will no doubtfully see fearless students who are skilled active movers, participating in joyful experiences. But along with that all of my lessons are filled with content designed to meet "C.L.E.A.R." expectations.
Students are:
CREATIVE & PERCEPTIVE THINKERS: Students problem solve and Challenge themselves to think outside the box.
LIFE LONG LEARNERS: Students treat their learning like a journey and they will keep learning "from age 4 to 400" (ok maybe not that long, but we can hope)
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS: Students collaborate and communicate with their classmates in productive non violent ways. They share ideas and use their words when they have conflicts.
ACADEMICALLY ENRICHED: We all learn in a variety of ways, and in PhysEd we learn with movement. And while we are in PE we are not just PE students, but Kinesiologists studying how and why our bodies move the way that they do. Math, Science, Language Arts, even History are all along for the ride.
RESPECTFUL COMMUNITY MEMBERS: We respect others, we respect our communities both small and large, and we respect ourselves.
What's the most unique thing about your teaching?
Having an open door policy with my community is something I feel is special. I am not afraid of letting parents, administrators, or the community see whats happening in my classes. 10 Years of Bring Your Parents to PE events has shown me how powerful connecting to your community and building a relationship with them is.
What's the best teaching advice you've ever received?
I have been lucky enough to have many mentors with great advice. But there are two that stand out.
The first great piece of advice was to read and watch "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. I won't say anymore in hopes that you will experience it first hand like I did.
The other was that "Everything is a Remix." The concept that there hasn't been anything that was wholly original in centuries. The basic elements of creativity are: copy, transform, and combine. So don't be afraid to emulate existing material, transform it to suit what you do, and combine it with other elements to create something innovative. In other words try to understand and appreciate the derivative nature of creative evolution.

If you don't think too hard about it, Ready Player One can just be an entertaining silly movie, but at two hours and 20 minutes long (!!), you'll likely find yourself with plenty of time to think. And then, things fall apart.
The effects-heavy actioner, directed by Steven Spielberg and adapted from Ernest Cline's eponymous novel, is basically a quest film, drenched in bright, digitally animated colors and simply dripping with in-jokes and pop-culture references. If a film could collapse in on itself, due to its slavish devotion to a specific subset of 1980s entertainment, Ready Player One would be that black hole. (Or more correctly, 1979's The Black Hole.)
It's 2045, and things are so grim in the U.S.A. that everybody just avatars up and hangs out playing games in an all-consuming virtual world known as the OASIS. (Maybe if all these bright young people weren't dressing up as robots and dragon warriors in a giant nowhere, and instead, devoted that energy to reality, things could be improved. Just an idea!) When the OASIS's beloved creator, Halliday (Mark Rylance) dies, he leaves behind the ultimate game: Solve your way to finding three keys, and the winner takes control of the OASIS and nets a huge sum. Basically, we watch as Wade (Tye Sheridan), and his friends (Olivia Cooke and Lena Waithe) search for clues, complete challenges and try to outrun a generic corporate villain (Ben Mendelsohn), who also wants the prize.
The work's intent, though, seems to be a very expensive glorification of those pop-cultural consumers who need you to know they know everything. About early Atari games. Films adapting Stephen King novels. Assorted branded robots. Pop music from the 1980s. Early web search engines. And the longer this film went on, the less enamored I became of it. Not just because the last couple of reels start to drag — never has an outcome been in less doubt. But because, man, can't we just get our collective selves out of some teenage boy's bedroom, circa 1985, with his "nerd"-approved but limited tastes in action figures, Huey Lewis songs and pop-culture trivia, and just move on? That's a quest I'd like to see. In 3-D, in select theaters. Starts Thu., March 29

Former University of Washington quarterback Cody Pickett, who played the past two seasons for the Toronto Argonauts, has signed now with the Calgary Stampeders as he continues his Canadian Football League journey.
Pickett shattered the UW record books as a Husky quarterback, where he teamed often with wide receiver Reggie Williams, who was released Friday by the Seahawks.
Pickett's career path went north three years ago after he was released by the San Francisco 49ers after playing in seven NFL games over two years.
He started seven games for Toronto last year, completing 145-of-235 passes for 1,553 yards and three touchdowns. He had back-to-back 300-yard games in August, but was released after the season.
Pickett then signed briefly with the Montreal Alouettes before being cut again, leading to his latest landing spot in Calgary.
Here's a story in the Montreal Gazette about his newest efforts.
Pickett remains the leading passer in UW history with 9,946 career yards. He became the first Pac-10 quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season when he racked up 4,458 as a junior in 2002, setting a conference record with 365 completions.
He started all 35 games over his final three seasons at Washington and was 792-for-1,373 passing for 9,916 yards and 53 touchdowns in his career.

Best and easiest hummus receipe ever
With cold and flu season ready to take over my household, I try to add garlic to everything I cook...but the best cold fighter is RAW garlic. I don't know about you, but raw garlic tastes TERRIBLE to me...that is unless it is in hummus! Hummus is a wonderful snack. Packed with protein and germ killing garlic, it is the perfect fall snack.
Until the past few months however, I have had a hard time getting my hummus consistency right. Here is how I make my hummus now - perfect, easy, great consistency and delish!
The first step is to put one garlic clove in the blender. I chop it into a few pieces. I like my hummus to be very garlicy so I use a gigantic clove if I have one. If you prefer less garlic, use a small clove.
Add 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Blend thoroughly until all of the garlic chunks are gone.
Add one can of rinsed garbanzo beans (chick peas). Also add about 1/4 of the can full of water. I add the water slowly while blending to be sure it's a smooth and creamy, but thick consistency.
Once beans are blended, I like to add a bit of parsley and salt. This step you can add whatever you like...even jalapenos are excellent in hummus for a spicy batch!
Next step is to add 3 Tablespoons of tahini. I have read that you can and have tried using peanut butter in it's place....it's just not the same. Tahini is ground sesame seeds that have the consistency of peanut butter, but TOTALLY different taste.
The tahini will thicken the hummus slightly. yummy!
Once mixed, grab a handful of homemade crackers and eat! mmmm!
I'll post the homemade cracker recipe sometime. :)

It was our moment of joy and pride when we felicitated all the students of HFS International who have emerged successful in the Board examination (CAIE & IB) this year on 10th August 2018. Through their incessant perseverance students who had come out with flying colours were given trophies, cups and certificates of merit by the Principal of the school, Ms. Kalyani Patnaik. Through the Prize Distribution ceremony, she conveyed this message to the students, which they are precious to the school and through their personal achievements they have been able to make the school feel proud of them. She hoped that they would through their incessant striving; continue to bring back laurels for the school. Her words of encouragement inspired all the students to attain success through hard work, sincerity and dedication.
The day's proceedings started with the school song followed by a poem recited by Mahika Hans of IB 1, the Cultural Secretary of HFSI. Thereafter, parents of the student scoring the highest in the IGCSE examination with 93%, Samyukta Nandan, gave away the prizes to the deserving students who had scored the highest in each subject. Next the IBDP Coordinator, Ms. Jagruti Joshi, announced the names of the IBDP prize winners and the Universities they had taken admission in. Maya Bhagat the IBDP topper with 44 points making to the Harvard University was felicitated amidst a loud applause by all present. Malvika Anand and Sattviki Rishi put up a soulful number to regale the audience and the strains of music permeated the entire atmosphere.
With the Head Boy, Akhshay Krishnan reading out the vote of thanks, the day's programme came to an end. This grand celebration of success surely left an indelible impression in the memory of students awarded prizes. Undoubtedly, students preparing to appear for the next year's board examination would be encouraged to give in their best to surpass the achievements of the students who have passed this year.

Endless meats on a stick might be too much to hope for. But still, Fogo de Chão's new happy-hour menu offers a viable option for those who want to enjoy the traditional churrasco without overdosing on seared flesh.
With $8 dishes and $6 cocktails, this menu, which is only available at the bar, is also easier on the wallet than the restaurant's $24.50 lunch or $44.50 dinner.

"If you wanted to come, say, before a Rockies game or for just a happy hour with some friends, then you don't have to necessarily do our full menu in the dining room," explains Fogo general manager Shawn Giarmo. The happy-hour lineup includes three meat dishes: Brazilian pork sausage, fire-roasted chicken breast wrapped in bacon, and pork tenderloin covered in Parmesan cheese. Each comes with Brazilian cheese bread and polenta.
At happy hour, Fodo de Chao charges $6 for any of its eleven variations on Brazil's traditional drink, the caipirinha, which is basically lime, sugar and Cachaça. "We happen to be expert in making this cocktail," Giarmo says. "We do the traditional version, we're doing the tropical version, we're doing also what we call the caipiroska -- which is the same tradition as the caipirinha, but with vodka instead."

A Rare Pre-Packaged Wright Home Lists for $750,000 in Beverly
The sellers worked steadily over several years to bring the 1916 American System-Built home back to its full glory.
Price: $749,900
One of two American System-Built Homes in Beverly just listed for sale. A pre-packed Frank Lloyd Wright design, the H. Howard Hyde House is a relic of a short-lived partnership with real estate developer Arthur L. Richards struck up in order to bring Wright's ideas to Regular Joes. Hyde was a cashier at International Harvester, and reportedly paid $6,000 for the house. If there's an equivalent opportunity for wage workers today–say, a path to a Frank Gehry home–I can't think of it. Buyers could choose from seven models, with prices tamped down through streamlined assembly. An entire subdivision was planned on South Hoyne Avenue, but in the entire Midwest, only an estimated 25 American System homes were built. Fifteen survive, including two in Chicago and four in the North and West suburbs.
The four-bedroom, 2,448-square-foot Hyde looks anything but mass produced. Some of the flourishes found in Wright's commissions from this period—floating rooflines with dramatic overhangs, cantilevering, broad porches, and art glass windows by the hundreds—are subdued or subtracted in this iteration, but the composition is as pleasing as ever with restored stucco and new landscaping corralled by a gridded sidewalk. The house wasn't meant to be square, but the first owner filled in a gap in the footprint with what is now kitchen and office space.
Inside, simplicity reigns. Instead of the signature art glass designs that Wright liked to assign to high-budget works, windows are granted squiggly leaded lines. Instead of a grand two-sided hearth with built-in benches and lamps serving an open living and dining space, you get an elegent one-sided wood-burning fireplace for the modest-size living room. White ceilings are unadorned, except where replica period lighting comes into play.
This is not to say that there hasn't been significant repair and upgrade over the years. Sellers John and Martie Brennan bought in 1999 for $218,000 and spared no expense through a several-year restoration in returning the home to a condition worthy of its pioneering origins and landmark status. More than a quarter million was spent, according to John. "Our goal was to restore," he says, "but also to make the home very personal and livable for us and our kids."
The changes were significant: eight layers of paint were stripped from the walls, the kitchen newly appointed, oak flooring returned to its original luster, birch trim added in accordance with Wright's sketches, a third more private entry was incorporated into the rear of the home, and the basement given new living space. "The lion's share of the work was in restoring and accenting the woodwork," says listing agent Joseph Thouvenell of P.R.S. Associates. It's in such solid shape that the Brennans are asking more than three times what they paid, which, incidentally, is the highest price per square foot in the neighborhood.
More than 1,000 people filed through the house in May for the annual Beverly Hills/Morgan Park Home Tour, wanting to see inside the transformed house for the first time. They couldn't have known it would be headed to market six weeks later. The Brennans are downsizing within the neighborhood
Despite this huge local draw, Beverly is notable for having a tidy collection of innovative Wright homes that fly under the radar. There's little regional audience for the two American System-Built houses, the "fireproof" house on Longwood Drive, or the handsome proto-Prairie William and Jessie Adams House, listed and sold last year for $980,000.

Julie Greenberg has more than two decades of experience as a government and public affairs specialist. She began her career as a legislative analyst with the New York State assembly speaker's office. She went on to serve as chief of staff to then-assembly member (now New York City Comptroller) Scott Stringer and as NYC political director for the 2002 McCall-Mehiel gubernatorial campaign.
She joined Kasirer in 2002, offering clients a rare depth of insider expertise. As Stringer's chief of staff, Julie was responsible for creating and supervising a full-scale, cross-channel legislative, communications, and media relations strategy—everything from analyzing local impact to placing national op-eds. In her other governmental and political capacities, Julie developed an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of New York on both city and state levels.
Her understanding of procedure and policy—as well as of the people empowered to make decisions—gives Julie a unique niche at Kasirer. She manages some of the firm's most complex assignments, often working with City Hall and negotiating multiagency approvals. She also serves as liaison to local community boards, borough presidents' offices, New York State assembly and senate members, New York City councilmembers and New York's federal representatives.
Julie's success in navigating government regulatory and administrative procedures on behalf of our real estate clients include environmental and zoning appeals, ULURP, building code approvals and tax issues. For our not-for-profit clients, she delivers highly specialized knowledge of the rules and regulations governing capital and expense funding and the role of cultural institutions in the public arena.
Julie is a graduate of the State University of New York at Albany, where she earned a BA in History and Political Science as well as a master's degree in Political Science.
