text: King Street Library, Newtown Part 1 Project 2003 Julien GouiricJessica Beresford University of Sydney, Australia Traditionally, libraries are destinations that ask visitors to leave behind the outside world and enter into an enclosed environment purely for information. However, in today's society information is becoming closely interwoven with daily life and nowhere is this more apparent than in the bohemian quarter of Newtown, Sydney. A hive of political and cultural publications, serials written by local authors, street art and internet cafes, all interacting with its main street – King street – and its many cafes and gathering spots. This project seeks to design a library on King Street that doesn't presume to capture or enclose the creative energy of Newtown but instead to funnel it, acting as a hub and a place to stop while travelling from A to B.The western façade has been peeled away, creating an atrium that acts as an internal street, meandering through a scattering of spaces given over to reading, exhibitions, computers or socialising. While the façade now becomes an urban backdrop, the atrium is a void that allows the environmental contrasts of the outside environment into the library. Moving around the building becomes a play of ever shifting glare and shadow, noise and peace, safety and vertigo, suggesting a sense of fluidity and change. Julien GouiricJessica Beresford Public Libraries are something of an anachronism in contemporary media society. Are they Temples of Knowledge? Places to Rest your Feet after shopping? In the 'hip' tattoo-ed, nose-pierced ambience of inner-city Newtown, what role can they play? Can they be relevant? Julien Gouric's design confronts the issues with a complex respose that turns the building inside-out, forming a street-scale space cut across by steel-plate bridge- like 'reading rooms' that give internal spaces of intimacy and refined proportions, while giving a sense of incongruity and the incidental that reflects the street-culture of the town. The project is site-specific, resolving the awkwardness of an unpromising site, and 'real' - the physical characteristics and qualities of the assemblage are specific. The design brilliantly examines the fundamental issue of the changing meaning of our cultural inheritances across generations. Tutor(s)

The Moral Austerity of Environmental Decision Making: Sustainability, Democracy, and Normative Argument in Policy and LawBy: Joe Bowersox (editor), John Martin Gillroy (editor)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionIn The Moral Austerity of Environmental Decision Making a group of prominent environmental ethicists, policy analysts, political theorists, and legal experts challenges the dominating influence of market principles and assumptions on the formulation of environmental policy. Emphasizing the concept of sustainability and the centrality of moral deliberation to democracy, they examine the possibilities for a wider variety of moral principles to play an active role in defining "good" environmental decisions. If environmental policy is to be responsible to humanity and to nature in the twenty-first century, they argue, it is imperative that the discourse acknowledge and integrate additional normative assumptions and principles other than those endorsed by the market paradigm. The contributors search for these assumptions and principles in short arguments and debates over the role of science, social justice, instrumental value, and intrinsic value in contemporary environmental policy. In their discussion of moral alternatives to enrich environmental decision making and in their search for a less austere and more robust role for normative discourse in practical policy making, they analyze a series of original case studies that deal with environmental sustainability and natural resources policy including pollution, land use, environmental law, globalism, and public lands. The unique structure of the book-which features the core contributors responding in a discourse format to the central chapters' essays and debates-helps to highlight the role personal and public values play in democratic decision making generally and in the field of environmental politics specifically.Contributors.

Neil Francis: Yesterday further proof that Leinster vs Munster rivalry has fallen off a cliff edge
A low-quality game between two sides in a rivalry which has become just a little tiresome. Is there a premium to be paid for endeavour alone? Attitude is one thing; aptitude is what we expect in a match where there are so many quality players.
As the game made its way into the final quarter, it became nebulous in every respect. Even the man of the match, Johnny Sexton, was infected by the mediocrity happening around him. His kicking, so good in the first half, became poor as he lost his concentration. The amount of forward passes and ball on the ground, particularly in the outside channels, was embarrassing. Munster were the bigger culprits as they were unable to get beyond four or five phases to build anything.
Surely this game should be about a whole lot more than just exploiting weakness? It became pretty obvious from the fifth minute onwards that JJ Hanrahan was going to be targeted at fullback. The quality of the kick was very good and all the chasers had to do was stay onside and time their arrival into the jump.
Adam Byrne was the beneficiary here. He had five good catches in the first half. At 100 kilos and 1.93 metres, you could suspect he would have a good day in this department. He did, and Leinster looked like they could boss the game for long periods using this tactic. Hanrahan is not a fullback and I am fairly certain he will not be used in that position in Europe. Munster may have a few injuries in their back-field but Andrew Conway or Simon Zebo will need to be wearing the number 15 shirt when the European circus comes to town.
Still, Munster scored three tries to two. When Leinster were as dominant as they were all afternoon, you need to take a look at how they managed to leak three tries, only one of which came from concerted and constructive Munster pressure. The first came from a loose ball in midfield from Robbie Henshaw. Ian Keatley latched on to it to score and you can file that one under 'shit happens'. The Munster player got into his stride too quickly and the Leinster chasers were left with too much to do.
It didn't seem to bother Leinster and they got back into the rhythm pretty quickly afterwards.
Defensively, they were organised and it took something like a loose ball or an unexpected chain of events to unsettle them. Munster took a swipe at one of their own lineout throw-ins and were under pressure immediately. Tommy O'Donnell latched on to it and instead of finding resistance at the scene of the lineout, he managed to charge straight through it and gallop up the field with Keith Earls as an out-rider. He shaped to go inside as Joey Carbery came to close him down. Carbery was on his toes and the feint didn't trouble him.
At this stage Adam Byrne was marking Earls and was directly in line with him and facing him. Players will tell you that defence is all about trust and understanding - it doesn't have to be a telepathic arrangement as most players know what to do instinctively at the given time. Carbery, you have to trust, would make his tackle. If he missed that was his fault and the system failure is down to him. Inexplicably, Byrne drifted in towards the tackle scene and as Carbery made sure of his tackle, O'Donnell's pass went directly to Earls who was left unmarked. Byrne was caught in no-man's land. Breathtaking naivety.
The Leinster winger still had the chance to try and stop Earls' charge for the line. Earls was less than a metre from the touchline. Earls is 14 kilos lighter than Byrne and the nature of the tackle was a hard drive into touch to try and get the Munster man over that line.
He had the angle, the pace and the strength to do it and yet he ended up making a common or garden tackle around his chest. Your second option is to tackle the ball - either way, Byrne did neither. Any other Leinster player in the back-field could have prevented that try. . When it is easier to tackle an opponent into touch, that is what you must do.
Leinster took their penalties as the game progressed and it was a clean-room, laboratory-type close-out.
If we are to believe anything about the hype of this fixture you would have expected that neither side would give their opponent anything. With the game at 23-12, the attitude should have been 'don't let Munster even have a bonus point'. With about two minutes on the clock, Munster tried a bit of rinky-dink from a five-metre lineout.
Leinster switched off mentally at this point and nearly got caught cold but saved their line and Munster spread it. From the last recycle in the phase Leinster were caught defending too narrowly and the ball was spun out to Conway. Hard to know whether Leinster play a system where the fullback takes the last man but Carbery made the tackle on the second-last man and Byrne, who had been in the line, had to loop out of it and chase around to try and prevent Earls from scoring a try. The Leinster winger had a far better angle than the previous time in that corner when the try was conceded. An aggressive hit would have been enough and as Earls began his run in to touch down, Byrne seemed to pull out of the tackle.
Munster got their bonus point and had a window of opportunity to go and win the game from deep in their own half. This would have been a truly farcical sequence of events if it had transpired. It is, though, symptomatic of what this fixture has become.
If it is what the players say it is - do or die, no quarter given, the big one - then Earls should have been buried into the west stand and the score would have stayed 23-12. Byrne has to make a decision about his career and Leinster will have to shuffle their back three.
It was a good result for both provinces in the sense that it will have left them with no illusions about themselves. Munster, in particular when you look at what was left on the field in the 80th minute, would make you fear for their prospects next week in Castres.
Leinster have a huge examination themselves next week but the strong vein of quality players dotted throughout the side will only be able to do so much for them when Montpellier come to town next week.
This fixture has fallen off a cliff in terms of prestige and standing - time for the marketing men to take a break - we are not buying it anymore.

Ready, Steady, Spaghetti - Cooking with Kids
Every once in a while I run across something I really like, and if it involves something that I can do with my kids that is fun and educational - well, you can bet I'm going to try to get my hands on it. Or, in this case - "get my hands in it," and if you would like this great book for yourself, then read on ...
This is one cookbook that, if you have kids, you'll be pulling out often, especially if you like working with them in the kitchen. Kids love anything creative, and I have found that when I get them involved in the cooking process, they feel accomplished and want to get their hands into all the ingredients. Now, with a little help from Author Lucy Broadhurst, you will find some new and tasty recipes that are not only fun and easy to make, but healthy too!
There are 6 sections to her cookbook -
Little Food: This section includes some great recipes like berry couscous, french toast, ham and corn muffins, blueberry pancakes, nachos, and many more.
Dinnertime: Many of the staples that children like already are in the book - like pizza and spaghetti - with a twist on the recipe to add some character to it. But, you'll also find some interesting and easy to make recipes too, like fettucine carbonara, pork and chive dumplings, chicken and leek risotto, or a burger with the works.
Eat Your Greens: This cookbook would not be complete without a section on greens. Kids are just not eating enough greens. Maybe, by having some delightful recipes with bright colorful images and easy-to-understand instructions, kids will be more apt to try something new. I know my kids like "color" and if we add something colorful to their meal, their apt to try it. Now, if I get them involved in the process of making the meal, they are even more apt to try it, and like it too!
Sticky Treats: Okay, this has to be my favorite section. I mean, with recipes like jam upside-down cakes, lemon cheesecakes, fruit jelly, and chocolate-honeycomb mousse - oh golly, comfort food take me away. Yummmmmy.
Cookies, Cakes, and Sweets: Then again, maybe this section is my favorite - especially since it has a fabulous recipe for chocolate cake. I'm sorry, but I need an almost daily fix of chocolate. I admit, it's a huge weakness of mine.
And, if you look through Lucy's cookbook, you'll see adorable children smiling ... and I'll bet it had nothing to do with the fact that they were having their picture taken either. Just take a look at those gingerbread people - if that doesn't make a kid smile, nothing will. You'll also find some great recipes in this section like anzac cookies and muesli bars, caramel bars and jam thumbprints, or how about rocky road or coconut ice?
Let's Party: Okay, so you're planning a party for your little one and you want to make something special for everyone, or maybe you thought it would be a great idea to invite some of your children's friends over for a cooking session in your kitchen. Mess aside, you are going to brave the chaos because of all the smiles that will ensue as a result. Right? Be prepared, because this will make everybody smile and laugh - how about whipping up milk chocolate banana bites, or frozen fruit kebabs, or maybe you'll want to make some swamp mud or chocolate cherry spiders. The boys will want to make the pirate face cookies or the martian cookies, While the girls will definitely want to make the fairy wands and the chocolate truffles. I don't know about you, but I think I better plan something with my kids because this is just too fun.
Now for the best part - Do ya want the book? Do ya do ya do ya? Then answer the following question in the comments for your chance to get your fingers into all the great recipes in "Ready, Steady, Spaghetti" -
Do you have any memories of cooking with your mother (or maybe your father?) or your nanny, or your brother, or your sister - oh heck, when you were a kid, did you cook and make memories with someone special?
Then tell me in the comments below.
We Have a Winner! Our Ready, Steady, Spaghetti lucky reader is ...
Denis! Congratulations! Isn't this fun?
Thank you Random.org for choosing the winner out of the thousands, oops, I mean 11 (ha ha) comments on this silly post. Hey, the fewer the comments the better the odds, right?
So Denis, You are the lucky winner. Now all I need you to do is send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com to claim your prize, and send me your shipping information too. By the way, to see who you are I stopped on over to your blog (anyone can click on Denis's name in the comment and go to his blog) and happened across a video of your little girl asking you questions about the birds. That was too cute.
Okay - I've now watched the video of Denis's little girl telling the knock-knock joke and then asking if Bird's talk at least a dozen times. I'm hopeless. I just want to pick her up and hug her and pinch her cheeks. Denis, if you are reading this, I would love to post that video on my blog. So I can watch it another dozen times - or whenever I just need to smile.
Thanks to all who entered! More contests in the coming week.
I love sharing good things with my readers!

Warm weather this week encouraged the arrival of more spring migrants in the region.
Blackcaps are singing in many places, the delightful rich fluting sound earning it the name 'northern nightingale'.
It is at its loudest just after the males have first arrived and they are also easiest to see, now flitting around in the still bare branches.
Males have silvery-grayish backs and black skullcaps while the females which will join them shortly have rusty brown caps.
Once a female shows up on a male's territory he will build a series of nests, as many as six, for her. They are skimpy constructions, just a few blades of grass, but if she takes a liking to one she sets about improving it as a place fit for her eggs and chicks.
While blackcaps arrive for the summer another population, one that has spent the winter here, is departing for breeding sites in Germany and central Europe. Increasing numbers do so, helped by well stocked bird tables, but so far few of our breeding blackcaps have joined them, sticking to traditional migration to the Mediterranean and Africa each autumn.
Perhaps with the milder conditions more might stay here. In any case, more blackcaps seem to be arriving back here every spring - more than double the number 30 years ago. Maybe they are benefitting from the warmer springs and raising first broods more successfully?
Male blackcaps sing until July to warn off rivals from their territories and they will soon be joined by a closely related songster, the garden warbler. Although the two look very different; the garden warbler is a plain brown bird, the songs are virtually the same, close enough to even confuse each other.
More willow warblers have been bursting into song while the first returning sedge and reed warblers were heard in the region's wetlands.
Many more sand martins have arrived, and some swallows, house martins and the first swift over Rolston, East Yorkshire on Tuesday. There were also yellow wagtails in South and West Yorkshire and common redstart at Ruswarp near Whitby.
There seems to be a good arrival of garganey ducks. A pair at Adwick Washlands, South Yorkshire have been joined by some at Kilnsea, the Watton, Pulfin and High Esk and Blacktoft Sands reserves in East Yorkshire, Scalby Lodge ponds, Scarborough and the RSPB's St Aidan's site near Leeds which officially opens next week.
A spoonbill and great white egret were at Fairburn Ings. Charlie Winn, the reserve's first warden when it opened in 1957 until the RSPB appointed a full-time warden in 1978, died last week. He was well-known to birders and will be greatly missed.
While spring migrants arrive, winter visitors are prepare to leave. Redwings are gathering on the coast and short-eared owls hunting in coastal fields before crossing the North Sea back to breeding sites.
There were still some waxwing flocks in North and South Yorkshire while great grey shrikes remained in the Langdale forest, on Fylingdales Moor and at Acaster Malbis, York.

2016 Phoenix Awards
Saturday, April 9, 2016
2016 Phoenix Awards
On Saturday, April 9, 2016. the Sussex County Paramedics sponsored the 2016 Phoenix Awards at the Roxana Volunteer Fire Company. The Phoenix Awards are given to first responders who were integral in providing emergency care to someone who was in cardiac arrest and lived to tell about it. The ceremony is designed to reunite survivors with his or her responders in a celebration of life. Eleven members of the Millville Volunteer Fire Company were honored at the ceremony for their participation in saving someone's life. For the survivors who were able to be in attendance, there were plenty of hugs and handshakes being exchanged since this was the first time the individuals have seen each other since the day of the rescue. The Millville Volunteer Fire Company is very fortunate to have a Lucas device placed on each one of its ambulances since January 2015. This was a direct result of business owners and the citizens we serve stepping up to the plate to assist in the purchase of these devices. The Millville members recognized for their life saving efforts were: Stephen Gilbert, Dillon Baker, John Watson, Brian McConlogue, Aaron Driscoll, Marissa Carmello, Robert Richardson, Madeline McGrath, & Doug Scott. Not pictured are Richie Walls and Nick Harrington.
Some may ask why is a Lucas device so critical to a heart attack victim.The Lucas CPR Device is a device used to assist in giving quality compressions to "Sudden Cardiac Arrest" patients. In order to be able to save the lives of sudden cardiac arrest patients and avoid neurological damage, a steady supply of oxygen to the heart and brain is necessitated. Life-sustaining circulation can be created through effective and uninterrupted chest compressions. Performing manual chest compressions of high quality is both difficult and tiring, and impossible in certain situations. The quality varies depending on who provides CPR and deteriorates quickly after only one or two minutes. The LUCAS™ Chest Compression System is a safe and efficient tool that standardizes chest compressions in accordance with the latest scientific guidelines. It provides the same quality for all patients over time, independent of transport conditions, rescuer fatigue, or variability in the experience level of the caregiver. By doing this, it frees up rescuers to focus on other life-saving tasks and creates new rescue opportunities.
Experimental studies show that the mechanically controlled LUCAS™ compressions are able to sustain a higher blood flow to the brain and heart compared to manual compressions. The side-effects are similar as for manual compressions. LUCAS™ does compressions according to guidelines - on the middle of the chest, not more, not less.
In 2015 Millville Volunteer Fire Company responded to 15 Cardiac arrests. Out of the 15 cardiac arrests 5 of the patients had already deceased and no resuscitation efforts were given. The 10 remaining patients all received resuscitation efforts and the Lucas Device was applied. Five of these patients had a positive outcome and were able to walk out of the hospital and return to their families.
The citizens of our community should be proud of the dedication that is given to our community. One of the cardiac arrest patients received care from an Ocean View Police Officer and was given a shock by the AED the Ocean View police carry in their cars. We work very closely with Ocean View Police Department and they can be seen at many of the calls that we respond to.
Once again, the Millville Volunteer Fire Company is very thankful to the Citizens and Business Owners that donated hard earned money to assist the fire company in the purchase of 3 Lucas Devices. This goes to show how important community involvement and donations assist the fire company every day in saving the lives of our citizens. Our Biggest Donor for the Lucas Device project was the Atlantic Community Thrift Shop (ACT's) which purchased 1 of the 3 Lucas devices for $15,000.These devices have assisted in touching the lives of so many. The MVFC thanks every business and individual who helped in the purchase of these very valuable life saving devices.

One of the joys of any music festival is coming across bands you never even knew existed until you lucked across them.
One such act at Dials was Dog in the Snow at Little Johnny Russell's. This Brighton-based duo, with Helen Ganya Brown on vocals and guitar and Eva Bowan on beats and noises, created a beguiling noise that veered from pretty to feedback-drenched noise and back again. They have an EP out at the end of this week – I'll be checking it out.
With Southsea Fest taking a year off, Dials Festival was put together by local promoters, bloggers and music fans to fill the gap. With 40 acts across five stages in the Albert Road area, there was plenty on offer.
Londoners Wyldest are regular visitors to Portsmouth, and a slickly delivered set of shoegaze-laced dreampop goes down well at the Wedge.
Local pair Rickyfitts showed that on form they can make other rock duos like Royal Blood sound like the Carpenters. Their awesome racket inspires moshing in a packed Edge of the Wedge – and even a spot of crowdsurfing.
Following that would be tough, but Brighton's Black Honey are no pushovers. Fronted by Izzy B Phillips, she can switch from a smile to snarl within a single line. And the rest of the band can rock out with the best of them, with hints of surf-rock amid the feedback, they bring the Edge stage to a sweaty close.
Wedgewood Rooms headliners Hooton Tennis Club deserve a better response than they get from a lacklustre crowd. Their indie-rock draws from the jangle of Teenage Fanclub as well as the fuzzier likes of Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, and is strong on memorable tunes. And the final guitar blowout on set-closer Always Coming Back 2 You is particularly impressive.
Don't change that dial, and let's hope that the festival will return.

Earlier this week, I have purchased a cheap SelectPlus wireless doorbell at a local "Action" store (as did others too I could read on this forum). I tried to register it in Domoticz v4.9700 (using "auto-learn" on the Switches tab), running on a Raspberry Pi with the RFXtrx433E transceiver connected and initially with the ByronSX mode enabled. Unfortunately, the doorbell wasn't recognized at all.
Working together with RFXCOM Support, we were able to find out that it seems that the protocol is changed in the latest version SelectPlus doorbells with Ref. 200689103. This version is operating with Lighting4 protocol instead. The previous versions with Ref. 200689101 and also with Ref. 200689103 have a different protocol and are operating with the ByronSX protocol.
Below is the literal information from the packaging and stickers on the doorbell clicker itself:
- * Packaging mentions: "Ref. 200689103 [3]".
* Sticker on the door clicker mentions: "200689103 [2]".
* The electric print board of the door clicker doesn't list any version or revision.
I hope this is helpful for whoever is reading this.
Cheers, Rene

Remember a few days ago when I said I might be prophetic? Yeah, I'm kind of wishing I hadn't said that.
Last weekend, we went on a quick weekend trip with some friends. As we embarked towards home, we came up on some road work and were forced to come to an abrupt stop. From highway speeds to complete braking, it was a little unpleasant.
Our friends (we'll call them S & T) were trailing about ten minutes behind us, so I let a little time elapse then texted T.
"Have you guys come to the screeching stop yet? So much for a quick trip home"
Less than a minute later, my phone rang—they were in an accident. When they came up on the traffic jam, the guy behind them didn't stop in time.
There's an excellent chance that their car is totaled, but everyone is safe. This is an especially good thing given that my sweet little three-month-old "niece" was in her carseat in the back. If you have children, or just know people who do, please be sure that proper seat restraints are utilized at all times. I'd hate to think what my life would be like without S & T and the little bundle who has brought joy to all of us.

Kim Sreng, 30, collecting bundles of reeds destined to be exported to Vietnam. The longer the reeds, the more expensive they are.
Photo by: Hector Bermejo
KIM Sreng is in quality control. Sitting on the floor at the rear of a restaurant in the village of Anlong, the part-time mat maker has a huge pile of grass reeds in front of her.
Weeding out the broken and blackened ones, she places the chosen ones into small bundles ready for tying.
"I am selecting the best quality reeds which we will export to Vietnam," she says.
Her employer, Chin Khom, explains that his Vietnamese buyers require only the best quality reeds to create mats, which are then exported to South Korea. Cambodians can use discoloured reeds as the mats are then dyed, unlike those destined for Korea.
Although she has weaved mats since she was 15 or 16 years old, for Kim Sreng, now 30, sorting the wheat from the chaff is a relatively recent departure for her.
"I have only done this work for three years," she says. "I used to weave for the owner [Chin Khom's wife], but when she started to buy reeds I did this work."
Working eight hours each day, Kim Sreng earns only 7,000 riel, so she supplements her income by weaving mats for other employers as well as doing farm work.
"I do not have a day off," she laughs. Today is Sunday.
Chin Khom, 41, has been in the reed mat making business for 20 years, although recently he decided to focus on new business pastures.
"I used my capital to open a petrol station and restaurant when the national road 8 was just completed," he says. "But I will not reduce [his reed-selling business] I will come back again."
Whereas in the past he used to buy 20 to 30 tonnes of reeds per month, now he only buys about 10 tonnes.
"When I have more capital I will set up a warehouse to do big business," he says. "It is easy to do. People come to my restaurant with big trucks of reeds."
Chin Khom also produces his own mats, which he exports to Thailand and provinces throughout Cambodia.
The price of his mats depends upon the length of the reeds used. The longer they are, the more expensive.
"Some are 5 metres long, others are 2 metres," he explains.
This year the price for his reeds is higher than previous years.
"Last year it was about 4,000 riel per kilogram for the highest quality reeds, now it is 5,500 riel," he says.
The higher price reflects the classic supply and demand paradigm.
"The price for the reeds was low last year so many farmers turned to growing lotus," he says. "But this year the demand from Vietnam is higher and we don't have enough reeds, so the price goes up."

Media sources said that the President of the Government of National Accord, Fayez Al-Sarraj met, Wednesday, in the Tunisian capital, with four members of the Presidential Council to discuss the number and formation of the ministerial portfolios in the unity government.
The sources confirmed that the meeting won't discuss any names for ministers, but will handle the issue of distributing sovereign ministries on geographical basis, without ignoring the qualifications of the candidates.
Concerning security portfolios, especially the military institutions, sources said that the Presidential Council is keen to delay discussing such posts, as military and the Central Bank, with the continuation of disputes between Libyan parties.

Julie Owens, who is head of home insurance here at moneysupermarket.com, is with me just to explain what exactly you will be asked, and [provide] hints and tips on how you can bring the premiums down.
Q1: So Julie, if we can just start from the basics, if you need to get a quote for buildings and contents insurance, what are the key pieces of information you are going to be asked?
JO: Well firstly you are going to be asked all the usual questions about you – which are the easy ones I guess to answer – but also then we'll move through and ask you questions about the property itself. And that will include things like the number of bedrooms, the year the property was built, the type of construction it is, if it's brick or slate tile roof etc, and also if it been subject to subsidence and/or flooding.
This is so the insurer can build an accurate profile of your house and the area it's in and actually consider whether they would like to quote for that risk. For example, some insurers may not want to quote for more unusual properties such as thatched roofed properties, so it's just for them to build up an accurate picture
Q2: And then there are other thing about the property, such as whether you have got window locks, what types of locks you have got on the door, is there a burglar alarm, are you in a Neighbourhood Watch area. Again, presumably this is all to do with security and therefore the more of these things you have got, the lower the risk there is. What impact does that have on the cost?
JO: Absolutely, you are right, the more protection you have, the lower risk you present to the insurer and therefore the lower your premium. For example, if you have got a NACOSS-approved burglar alarm [then] that can discount your premium by up to 7.5%. Similarly, if you are in a Neighbourhood Watch area, that can reduce your premium by up to 5%, obviously if it is active Neighbourhood Watch scheme.
With things like locks on windows and doors, often it can be the case between the insurer willing to quote because you have got all of that extra protections, and actually not providing a quote if you haven't.
Q3: Then the other key thing is obviously the amount of cover that you need. There are two aspects of home insurance; there is buildings cover and there is contents cove. If we start with contents first, because it's slightly simpler. To work out the value of your contents, I think a lot of people often underestimate the value of the belongings in their home, but it's really important to get it right isn't it?
JO: It's absolutely vital not to be underinsured on your contents, because if you are the insurer can and will apply a condition of average. So, for example, if you have said you have only got £20,000 worth of contents but actually the sum insured should be £40,000, you will only be paid 50% of any claim that you present to the insurer because you are underinsured by 50%. So it is vital that you get that right.
The way moneysupermarket.com helps you to do that is to suggest that you actually produce a content checklist, so actually go around your property and itemise all of the contents within it on a checklist – a value sheet that we have on the site for you to access – and that will allow you to build up a picture of exactly how much you have got in contents in your property.
Q4: I guess the other thing is to remember to update the value of your contents if you do make a new purchase.
JO: Yes, absolutely. Always have that in mind when you buy anything new, particularly significant items for your home such as a new TV, for example. Think about updating your content sum insured and actually think about whether you need to specify if as a high value item.
Q5: And on the buildings cover element, obviously if you are living in rented accommodation you won't need that because your landlord will get that, but if it's a property you own or have a mortgage on you will. Now, you are asked for two values, aren't you? The value of the property as a resale value but also the rebuild value, and that's different isn't it?
JO: Yes it is. The market value is obviously one value that will be asked on the site but the rebuild value is the more important value and this is the one that is important to get correct.
This is the cost of rebuilding your house from scratch as it where, obviously if the worst were to happen and there be a total loss of your home. So the way to do that – and it can seem very complicated – but the way to do it is, we provide a link on the site to the Building Cost Information Service which will allow you to calculate the rebuilding cost value of your home. And the way it does that is it actually helps you to work out the external floor area and actually apply a cost per meter squared for the rebuilding value.
The reason it is asked is that it is a lower cost, it will result in a lower premium because obviously it will cost much less to rebuild the house than the actual market value of your home.
Q6: There are other elements of cover that you can have or not have; accidental damage and personal possessions. Can you just explain what they are, to help people work out whether or not they need them? So, if we start with accidental damage, what does that cover give you?
JO: Well accidental damage is more of an all-risk type of cover. There is two types of cover; there is standard perils, which is cover for fire, flood, theft, subsidence, and then accidental damage will cover you for accidents that arise.
Q7: So if you knock a drink over the telly or something like that?
JO: Exactly. Over and above those perils if you like. It's paint spillage on carpets, DIY accidents, water damage to appliances, the nature of the cover is for that.
You have to look at the wording from the insurer and the exclusions, because there will be some things that aren't covered under accidental damage. One thing would be damage by pets, for example, so that is still an exclusion even with accidental damage cover.
Q8: So I guess its the sort of thing that, if money is tight and you wanted to keep your premiums down as low as possible, you might decide not to take it, but I'm guessing for a lot of people it's probably the cover that they are most likely to claim for.
JO: Yes and I think it depends on your individual circumstance. Certainly if you have got a family of young children, where those kinds of accidents we have just run through might be more prevalent, then actually it's going to be cover that you should give serious consideration to taking out.
Q9: And what about personal possessions, what is that?
JO: Personal possessions are the items that you carry about, that you are taking outside of the home. It's cover for them whilst they are outside of the home.
Q10: So cameras and things like that?
JO: Yes, cameras, jewellery, mobile phones, items such as that. You can buy a personal possessions add-on to the policy that will give you cover limit for those items.
Q11: And if you have got a valuable piece of jewellery or very expensive camera equipment, or something, you need to specify those individually, don't you?
JO: That's right, that would be called a high risk item and you would need to specify that with the insurer and also decide whether you would like personal possessions cover for that item as well if you are going to take it outside of the home. It's very important that the insurer knows all of the detail about that item and obviously that you keep receipts for that item.
Q12: The other thing to remember is the excess, because you will have to pay an excess on both your building and contents policies, and that can vary, so it is important that you know what it is before you sign up.
JO: Yes they do vary and they vary for contents and buildings cover, and it is important that you know what the standard excesses are. If you do elect to up those excesses or have a higher voluntary excess, then you could reduce your premium by up to 20% but it's very important that you understand that that is the element of the claim that you will be paying before you actually opt to take those excesses.
CF: Great, Thanks Julie
JO: Thanks

Catherine Anyango Grünewald (Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Sweden) (Heart of Darkness – Observer Graphic Novel of the Month 2010) speaking on 'Committed to Memory: Remembering and Responsibility in Visual Storytelling'
Conference themes:
Retro – a looking to the past – is everywhere in contemporary culture. Cultural critics like Frederic Jameson argue that retro and nostalgia are symptoms of postmodernism – that we can pick and choose various items and cultural phenomena from different eras and place them together in a pastiche that means little and decontextualizes their historicity. However, as Henri Bergson argues in Memory and Matter, the senses evoke memories, and products of popular culture, like comics, can bring the past to life in many ways. The smell and feel of old paper can trigger memories just as easily as revisiting an old haunt or hearing a piece of music from one's youth.
As fans and academics we often look to the past to tell us about the present. We may argue about the supposed "golden age" of comics. Our collecting habits may even define our lifestyles and who we are. But nostalgia has its dark side and this continuous looking to the past is regarded by some as a negative emotion in which we aim to restore a lost adolescence. In Mediated Nostalgia, Ryan Lizardi argues that the contemporary media fosters narcissistic nostalgia 'to develop individualized pasts that are defined by idealized versions of beloved lost media texts' (2). This argument suggests that fans are media dupes lost in a reverie of nostalgic melancholia; but is belied by the diverse responses of fandom to media texts. Moreover, 'retro' can be taken to imply an ironic appropriation. Whereas nostalgia suggests that we take comfort in an illusionary past, retro can suggest performance and an active use of the past to comment on the present. The Ninth International Graphic Novel and Comics Conference will investigate the complex relationship between time, memory, nostalgia and retro. We invite papers themed around, but not limited to, the following:
· Preserving, restoring and reprinting old comics
· The materiality of comics
· The role of nostalgia in comics histories
· Collecting and archiving comics
· Comics exhibitions or museum exhibits
· Recovered histories, forgotten voices (e.g. minority creators/audiences, overlooked roles)
· Reboots and reworkings of old characters
· Evoking older styles and printing methods
· Envisaging characters in different eras (e.g. Marvel 1602, Elseworlds)
· Biographies, autobiographies, histories
· Uses of memory in comics genres (e.g. graphic medicine, dementia studies)
· Playing with time, time travel themes, parallel universes,
· Fan practices: collecting, creating, restoring
· Lost or endangered spaces: comics studios, the newsstand, comics shops

After some serious procrastination I have finally finished this beautiful mobile of prisms. A big thank you shout out to my friend Maggie for making this happen! Without your help I don't how I would have done this!
Here's the story - a customer of mine gave me a prism collection to make a mobile. Lots of prisms, at least a hundred I would guess (I never did count). The sheer quantity intimidated me, but the fun of all these rainbow-makers tickled my brain.
I told my friend Maggie about the project and she lit the fire under my butt to get going on the project. We got together 3 or 4 times to complete the mobile. At first it was just a matter of digesting all the little (and big!) prisms, connecting strong plastic coated steel wire to each one (fishing line degrades in UV light).
In the end I think the mobile turned out gorgeous. Its hard to take good pictures of a mobile, especially one so busy and translucent as this one... but I think I captured the process :)
I especially like the big ball prisms, they were my favorite - they are at least 2" in diameter and absolutely wonderful! If you click on the picture above (or any of the pictures) they get bigger so you can see the detail of these awesome prisms.
There were 5 prisms I picked out right from the get-go, sorta the geeks of the bunch, the odd ones that stuck out like sore thumbs. I made a small mobile out of just them :)

6 August 2006
Drove down to Yardie Creek and saw an echidna on the road. Keith snorkeled in Osprey Bay while Vlasta took photos along the beach. The colour of the sea has to be seen to be believed. Moved on to Sandy Bay and took more photos of this picturesque beach. Visited a number of other beaches while we made our way back to the caravan park, stopping at the visitor centre where we watched a pair of breeding Sea Eagles feeding its chick with a freshly caught fish.

"...Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given."
~ Luke 12:48, GNT ~
~ Luke 12:48, GNT ~
"To whom much has been given..." Isn't that the part where we parents raising children with special needs usually tune out? We don't feel like we've been given the "much" that others around us have. We don't have much money, much spare time, much of the average life blessings that our neighbors do like a new car or remodeled kitchen. The only "much" we feel like we've been given falls in the area of medical bills, troubles with school, parental heartache, and exhaustion.
Yet, as Thanksgiving approaches, I challenge you to pull back for a moment of quiet to contemplate how much you actually have been given raising your child with special needs in America. Generally speaking, we are blessed to have access to the world's best medical care. Our children are so fortunate to receive cutting edge therapies and procedures when many, many parts of the world don't even have access to basic medical care. As I see friends serving as missionaries in foreign lands and adopting children from other nations, I am able to witness first hand the poor equipment, lack of facilities and virtually non-existent access to many lifesaving medications that we take for granted here in the US.
Taking a broader worldview makes it easier to see how much we have to be grateful for, especially when it comes to the care of our child with special needs. Not only do we have access to medicine, equipment, doctors and facilities. We also have things like therapy animals, music therapy, assistive apps on iPads, adaptive aquatics, and other complimentary alternative medicine. We can also take comfort that we raise our children in relative safety in comparison to several parts of the world. Even in our poverty, we have a roof over our heads, warm clothes and food on the table.
The truth is that we have been given much, even when we don't feel like it. And there are places where we can pass on the blessing. If you are the typical family, your child receives extra medical supplies that they don't use. Our children also outgrow walkers, crutches, wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment. We can bless others by passing these items on. We can also make financial donations, no matter how small, to places that do this sort of work worldwide.
- IMEC America :: Supplying impoverished nations around the world with repurposed and repaired medical equipment, as well as spare medical supplies, you can feel confident that you are donating to an established, trustworthy organization. We have even done medical supply drives for them through our church. It is incredible what you can find yourself passing on.
- Joni & Friends Wheels for the World :: Since 1994, Joni & Friends has been delivering wheelchairs along with the Gospel message to third world countries. They are all about showing the love of Christ in practical ways to the least of God's children. Several cities around the US have a church liaison, making it easy to collect and pass on equipment.
- Save One Life & Project Share :: Founded in 2000 & 2002 by fellow hemo mom and Christian, Laurie Kelley, you can make a difference on several different levels through these organizations. For those in the bleeding disorders community, Project Share takes donations of clotting factor that is no longer being used. Through Save One Life, you can sponsor an individual child in a foreign nation on a monthly basis, also corresponding with that child to offer them encouragement. They are running their "I Saved a Life" Campaign through the holiday season, attempting to reach 1,100 sponsors! For both organizations, a one-time financial donation can also be made.
- Katy's Kloset :: Katy's Kloset is just one of many medical equipment lending libraries around the nation. This one happens to be closest to our Snappin' Ministries Headquarters, but with a little searching, you may find one near you. The equipment at Katy's Kloset is suitable for both adults and children, and is loaned out completely free of charge. What they have in inventory depends largely upon what has been given to them, so it changes over time. But for families just like us, this can be a tremendous lifesaver.
Of course, volunteering locally is an amazing way to give back the tremendous gift of time while not tapping your pocketbook. We have many wonderful, gracious families without whom Snappin' Ministries could never function. They write, serve at our Recess respite, coordinate various events, and serve in many other ways. You can check out our website to see if you might have an area of giftedness that could be a blessing to others through our ministry.
Regardless of how you give, do it LAVISHLY, because God has lavished such incredible love upon each of us. (See 1 John 3:1) It may seem like our troubles are great and our blessings are small, but that perspective will suddenly transform when you begin serving or giving to others.
PRAY: Lord, I give THANKS for the boundless blessings you have lavished upon our family, especially living in this nation. I praise You for providing my child with great medical care, good schools, and even basic needs. Thank You for working through people in our area who serve us through churches or public programming. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to ways that I can give generously in return. Let me reflect the love of Jesus to a hurting world.
Do YOU know other places where families like ours can pass on the blessing? LET US KNOW, so we can pin them to our
Pinterest Board "Passing On The Blessing"!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Cayman Islands Vacation and other Caribbean topics.
You may be asking, "If I want to stay in Cayman Brac or on Little Cayman, how the heck do I get there?" The Cayman Islands are served by a variety of airlines, most of which fly to Grand Cayman via Miami. Cayman Brac is served by Cayman Airways and Island Air while Little Cayman island is only served by Island Airways because they have a grass runway that can only support smaller planes. You can fly direct to Cayman Brac from Miami however, if you are staying on Little Cayman, you will have a layover on the big island.
Like Barbados, the Cayman Islands charge an airport departure and arrival fee but it should have been included in your ticket. Make sure you check your itinerary and don't get swindled out of an additional $25.00 or $50.00 dollars!
If you are American, you won't need a passport for your Cayman Islands vacation, but you may want to bring it just in case. As with all identification documents, make sure you carry it somewhere safe and maintain its security at all times.

Word Origin for cap
- Common Agricultural Policy: (in the EU) the system for supporting farm incomes by maintaining agricultural prices at agreed levels
- capital
- capitalize
- capitalization
- capital letter
late Old English cæppe "hood, head-covering, cape," from Late Latin cappa "a cape, hooded cloak" (source of Spanish capa, Old North French cape, French chape), possibly a shortened from capitulare "headdress," from Latin caput "head" (see head (n.)).
Meaning "women's head covering" is early 13c. in English; extended to men late 14c. Figurative thinking cap is from 1839 (considering cap is 1650s). Of cap-like coverings on the ends of anything (e.g. hub-cap) from mid-15c. Meaning "contraceptive device" is first recorded 1916. That of "cap-shaped piece of copper lined with gunpowder and used to ignite a firearm" is c.1826; extended to paper version used in toy pistols, 1872 (cap-pistol is from 1879).
The Late Latin word apparently originally meant "a woman's head-covering," but the sense was transferred to "hood of a cloak," then to "cloak" itself, though the various senses co-existed. Old English took in two forms of the Late Latin word, one meaning "head-covering," the other "ecclesiastical dress" (see cape (n.1)). In most Romance languages, a diminutive of Late Latin cappa has become the usual word for "head-covering" (e.g. French chapeau).
c.1400, "to put a cap on," from cap (n.). Meaning "cover as with s cap" is from c.1600. Figurative sense of "go one better" is from 1580s. Related: Capped; capping.
- A protective cover or seal, especially one that closes off an end or a tip and that resembles a close-fitting head covering.
- catabolite gene activator protein
In addition to the idioms beginning with cap
- cap and gown
- cap in hand
- cap it all

- feather in one's cap
- hat (cap) in hand
- if the shoe (cap) fits, wear it

217 Fiat 1800 in two-tone blue and original box
Another lovely example of this early Corgi with suspension, this one in blue with a dark blue roof. It also comes with a very nice original box.
It is in excellent condition with clear, nice windows and bright wheels. The car is totally original and has been cared for by its previous lifetime collector and owner.
The wheels are the attractive reversed, shaped hubs but they're still fixed so cornering remains tricky!
Not as scarce as the mustard edition but still quite hard to find in good condition. This is extremely good with only the faintest wear on one or two leading edges and slight rubbing on the roof.
The box is also offered with the all blue one so this listing may be subject to change.

How to make a sinuous, tapered string inlay
Master Class
Synopsis: Take traditional stringing inlay to a new level with Steve Latta's technique, which allows for lines that taper in thickness and transition smoothly between different widths. This gives his pattern a more organic, contemporary feel. Here he shows how he worked out a design for a chest, starting on paper and then making an MDF pattern, cutting the grooves with a Dremel tool and smoothing the intersections and transitions between different widths.
Over the past several years, I've tried to push the limits of traditional stringing patterns, which are basically a combination of straight lines and regular arcs, into freer, more organic forms that have a lot more life. Using patterns to guide a Dremel tool with end-mill bits gave me a new design vocabulary free of geometric constraints. To add realism and vitality to these designs, I taper the lines, routing adjacent sections with bits of different diameters, then smoothing the transitions between them by hand. The inlay on this chest that I made for my wife, Elizabeth, illustrates this effect.
After working out the design full size on paper, make several copies. Spray-mount one copy to a piece of 1⁄2-in.-thick MDF and cut out the pattern using a scrollsaw with a no. 9 blade. Mark the end points of the lines in the design, but continue cutting to the edge of the pattern or merge into another part of the design. Reassemble the pattern pieces and make registration marks between them to show how they align.
I place registration pins along the bottom segment of the pattern so that I can remove and remount it accurately. Since this bottom section is the foundation for the design, properly positioning it aligns the entire form.
When you cut a groove, the shank of the bit rides directly…

Challenge Day: The Hart School and Business in a Day
Posted in News by Stéphane with No Comments
The School: The Hart School
The Hart School in Rugeley is a CET Secondary School in their first year of working in partnership with Enabling Enterprise. As part of the Creative Education Trusts set of challenge days, students in Year 8 worked in teams to develop their skills whilst exploring the world of business. Teams were awarded lots of enterprise skill points, focusing on Problem Solving, Working in a Team and Aiming High. Let's find out how they got on.
The Challenge: Business in a Day
The Business in a Day challenge, was specially selected to get students Working in a Team as young entrepreneurs. Competing to set up their own company, the eager year 8 students were tasked with designing, making, marketing and selling special souvenirs for a specific event, place or customer.
The Results:
Working in a Team and Being Creative were certainly put to the test for the day. It was great to see the students developing Staying Positive skills, particularly when it came to making quick decisions that the whole group were happy with. The teams showed excellent Problem Solving with maturity if any disagreement arose. The challenge culminated with students maximising their Presenting skills as they showed off their products and explained the process involved in creating their masterpieces.

Well done to everyone who was involved.
Enabling Enterprise are working in partnership with schools and businesses to support students to build enterprise skills and aspirations. Find out more by contacting us or visiting enablingenterprise.org

We often define ourselves not just by who we are, but by who we aren't. We spend an inordinate amount of time seeing the other as the other and defining and redefining otherhood for ourselves so we can justify why "they" are "them" and we, thank god, are not one of them. I find this process of recrimination to be most acute while driving.
For some reason, everyone is a terrible driver except for me. But as if it weren't enough that everyone other than me is a menace to go-ciety, all those who can't drive are so clearly part of some other group that they couldn't possibly be trusted to drive well. That driver is a (insert race here) and those people can't drive. What? A (insert gender here)...and we all know about them and driving...Did you see that move? It makes sense that he would drive a (insert car model here). Geez what a jerk, of course we can expect that, since he's from (insert other state here). That guy cut me off! Figures, what with that (rag top, bumper sticker, dent, color of hubcaps, toupee)
I think that it is about time that we came to terms with this tendency to label and exclude people. We need to find ways to bring us together and if we want to assume that people are por drivers, we can do so by looking at them as individual poor drivers and not representatives of any group of poor drivers. And to simplify things, why don't you all just get the hell out of my way?

Hi there and thanks for checking out my About Me page!
My name is Nicole and I've fallen in love with Clean Eating! I first started about a year and a half ago, but didn't really properly kick start things til January this year. It was when I came across the Clean Eating Magazine in the USA and Australia, which included the wonderful Tosca Reno who has been a huge motivation.
The thing I love about Clean Eating is you EAT! You don't starve yourself, you eat good clean foods that work well with your body. So what is Clean Eating? Take a look at the Eat Clean Diet. This gives a great explanation of Clean Eating.
I have The Eat-Clean Diet Commandments on my fridge and look at them every day to keep myself on track. The results I have got eating clean have been the best for a long time and I'm loving it! My stomach is flatter, my energy levels are great and I'm toning up quicker at the gym.
So stop by and check out my clean eating discovery. I'll be posting my favourite recipes and products I've found, and be sure to check out the links to the Clean Eating Magazines plus Tosca Reno's website. They are jam packed full of great recipes and ideas.
To your health!

MP's Holocaust comments
Bradford East MP David Ward has sparked controversy after comments appeared on his website about the Holocaust.
Bradford East MP David Ward has sparked controversy after comments appeared on his website about the Holocaust.
The MP for Bradford East has issued a written undertaking that he will not repeat a reference to "the Jews", which caused outrage last week.David Ward was formally censured by the party's chief whip after he said he was,
"saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new state of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis".
The MP, who initially defended his words, apologised on Monday for any "unintended offence" caused by a message posted on his website ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day.
I am strongly of the view that your use of the phrase 'the Jews' in this context was unacceptable and I formally censure you for that.In line with our conversation, and notwithstanding the strength with which you hold your views on the situation in the Middle East, I would be grateful if you would confirm the undertaking that you gave to me in our meeting that you will not again use the phrase 'the Jews' in this context."
I confirm that I am prepared to give you the undertaking that you asked for in our meeting."

Chris Tang and fellow field researchers constructed a model to subsidize essential goods for low-income communities in crisis, and profit in recovery
If you're in the business of providing financial aid to help poor communities obtain basic living needs, a core consideration is how to score the biggest social bang for your buck.
A real-world case study played out in Haiti, in the aftermath of its devastating 2010 earthquake. With the power grid decimated, distribution of subsidized solar-powered lanterns was pursued as a way to aid recovery and development. In field research conducted between 2014 and 2016, James Knuckles and ManMohan Sodhi of City University, London, UCLA Anderson's Christopher Tang and Jiayi Yu of Tsinghua University, Beijing, found no consensus among the aid organizations (e.g., World Bank and USAID), impact funds (e.g., Kiva), manufacturers (e.g., d.light) and retailers involved in the Haiti solar lantern initiative as to the best way to target the subsidy.
That led the researchers to construct a model to ferret out the best use of donor dollars along the "development supply chain." Unlike a traditional commercial supply chain that is solely focused on profit, a development supply chain is a bridge between humanitarian aid that flows in the immediate aftermath of a crisis, and a post-recovery market economy in which basic needs are met without aid.
While effective deployment of funds during this interim period is the main focus of aid, an ancillary consideration is the extent to which the program might help (or hinder) an eventual segue to a purely commercial supply chain model once the economy recovers.
Subsidizing manufacturers is suboptimal. There's no guarantee a subsidy would be poured into more R&D in the hopes of leading to a permanent reduction in production costs that could be passed along.
Instead of subsidizing manufacturers, the researchers determined that donors such as the World Bank and USAID should focus more on how to direct development and recovery subsidies into the distribution channel.
It turns out that some basic tenets of capitalism work best for selling subsidized essential goods in low income communities. Rather than simply flood the retail market with a single subsidized product, the authors determined that "choice is good." Giving the consumer the ability to make a conscious choice of subsidized Lantern A over subsidized Lantern B increases demand - as does giving the consumer the ability to choose among different retailers offering more than one product.
The fact that no single distributor — or product — dominates in this structure is an important feature. "The donor can rest assured that acting optimally would still leave positive profits for retailer micro-entrepreneurs," wrote the authors. "And, in the long term, doing so sets the stage for subsidy-free development with commercial supply chains."

SOME GOVERNMENT officials can't -- or don't want to -- see a solution to a problem when it's right in front of them. Take Dennis Callahan, parks director for Anne Arundel County, for example.
He has a married couple in their 60s living in a log cabin on county parkland near where the South River joins the Chesapeake Bay. For $25,000 a year, Marion and Carol Coomes issue permits to park users attracted by views of the historic Thomas Point lighthouse and excellent rock fishing. They also provide park ranger and caretaker services around the clock.
Sounds like a bargain.
But Mr. Callahan decided two years ago, as part of a new countywide policy, to start charging the Coomeses $900 a month in rent -- nearly half their part-time salary.
