The CBRE Residential Guide to Student Living in the Northbank
The Northbank is one of London's newest districts that has been developed to revamp the area on the northern side of the River Thames to bring it back to life and to create a vibrant community similar to that in the thriving Southbank.
The Northbank Business Improvement District (BID) was devised in 2013 to rejuvenate the area running along the river between Trafalgar Square to the west and Temple Gardens to the west incorporating areas such as Aldwych and Strand.
More than £8 million has been invested into the area since 2013 in order to transform the area and to entice new businesses and residents to move to the Northbank, including a number of new students living in London and attending the various highly rated Universities that are in and around the Northbank.
For a student living in London now is the time to move into the Northbank as things are changing all the time – and for the better. The area is already starting to develop with a whole new look and feel including new bars, restaurants and student lettings helping to make the Northbank a desirable tourist hotspot as well as a sought after location for business and residential purposes.
What's it like to be a student living in the Northbank?
The Northbank is close to some of London's most popular landmarks and tourism areas, and runs along the River Thames. It is also close to the popular West End and a number of London's leading Universities, many of which have great reputations around the world, and key student areas such as Covent Garden and Soho meaning that student lettings here are in high demand already.
It's an exciting time to be a student living in London as there are so many new developments to live in and attractive venues to spend your spare time in. Whether you're a fan of chilled, quiet evenings in luxurious surroundings or you prefer a more vibrant and eclectic lifestyle, you'll find it in the Northbank area now and in the coming months and years.
King's College London is in the very heart of the Northbank, adding to the appeal of the area among the capital's current and prospective student population. As one of the world's top 25 Universities, King's offers a variety of different courses ranging from nursing and midwifery to social sciences, history and English.
There are various theatres and opera houses in the Northbank and surrounding area, along with popular tourist attractions and a wealth of fantastically-finished student lettings in the Northbank, Covent Garden and Soho.
The London School of Economics (LSE) is just to the north of the Northbank boundary, close to the Royal Courts of Justice. This is another of the world's leading Universities, currently found inside the top 40 according to the latest rankings, and it attracts students from all over the world who wish to focus on economic subjects with the aim of moving into a career in the City of London, the UK's leading business and financial district.
Here at CBRE Residential we have a collection of newly developed and recently renovated student rentals in the Northbank as well as student accommodation in Covent Garden, Soho, Bloomsbury, Holborn and other popular student areas around the Universities. Each of our student rentals is designed to the very highest standards in partnership with leading property developers and interior designers, enabling us to incorporate the latest trends and popular amenities into each of our student properties.
Wherever you're looking to live and regardless of whether you're looking to buy or rent, the CBRE Residential team will take care of all of the hard work for you. Just give us your budget and your requirements and we'll do the rest. We will come back to you with a list of student properties that match what you're looking for and we can then arrange to meet you to view the property in person or we can arrange a Skype viewing if you're unable to look around the property yourself.
We can then help you to make an offer on the property or to sort out contracts with the landlord so that you can move in and make the flat, apartment or penthouse a home as soon as possible.

Nightlife and live entertainment in the Northbank
With the plans in place to continue transforming the Northbank the number of places to spend time socialising are likely to increase between now and 2020. There are already a wide range of fantastic bars, restaurants and theatres where students in the Northbank can spend their downtime whether you're after a quick bite to eat or you're letting your hair down completely at the weekend.
Salieri's is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant set in a theatrically-themed venue on the Strand. There is a great mood in Salieri's all year round, whatever time of day you choose to visit.
One Aldwych is a luxurious five-star hotel in the Northbank with an award-winning restaurant – Indigo – a classy bar and a 30-seat screening room where you can take in one of the latest film releases. Film and Fizz at One Aldwych is a highly popular and appealing night out in the Northbank with films changing all the time and a number of special and themed events and they even offer a screening, Champagne and dinner package.
The American Bar at The Savoy is an art deco-themed venue serving up some of London's finest cocktails. The Savoy already has a great reputation for quality and luxury from the food and drink right down to the light fixtures and these are some of the finest cocktails you'll find anywhere in the capital!
With views out across the River Thames, what better place is there to have a bar and seafood restaurant? Kaspar's Seafood Bar and Grill is situated inside The Savoy hotel and offers great food, great wine and fantastic service in a beautifully designed dining area.
If you feel like putting on your very best clothes for a night at the theatre then you're in one of the best parts of London. The Northbank is a short walk from some of London's very best theatres including the Lyceum and Adelphi, as well as the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and the National Theatre with its three auditoriums across Waterloo Bridge on the Southbank.
For an exciting and vibrant night out the bright lights of Leicester Square are just around the corner and you can either take a walk through Covent Garden.
Transport links in the Northbank
A large proportion of the area along the River Thames is well connected in terms of public transport, especially with so many of London's leading tourist attractions, Universities and student lettings in the vicinity.
The Underground system is one of the largest and most reliable in the world with trains running on most lines every few minutes so you never have to wait too long for the next one to come along. In the Northbank there are three main Underground stations – Temple (on the Circle and District lines), Embankment (on the Bakerloo, Circle, District and Northern lines) and Charing Cross Underground (on the Bakerloo and Northern lines) – all of which are situated close to landmarks, tourist hotspots and, in the case of Temple, the Universities with just a short walk to both Kings College and LSE.
Leicester Square (on the Northern and Piccadilly lines) and Covent Garden (on the Piccadilly line) are both popular Underground stations to the north of the area close to many of London's leading student lettings and popular social areas. Here you'll find an eclectic mix of bars ranging from small pubs to high-end wine bars and large chains offering a mixture of food and drinks; as well as street food and pop-up bars that you need to visit before they're gone.
Charing Cross is the largest National Rail station in the Northbank with a range of services running to Ashford and Dover in the south east of England.
New bus routes have been added in the local area as part of the renovations in the Northbank. These bus services will take you towards both key residential, commercial and tourist areas and quieter residential districts and access is by contactless payment such as debit cards and Oyster Cards.
More information about the new bus routes and travelling on London's public transport networks including the best service to get from your student accommodation to the Universities is available by using the Transport for London (TfL) journey planner here.
One of the extra benefits to living in or near the Northbank is that you also have the option of taking a boat from one of the Thames riverboat piers either into the centre of London or across to the Southbank. In this part of the capital the closest riverboat pier is at Embankment and from here you can travel towards Millbank Pier to the west or Canary Wharf in the east.
Shopping in the Northbank
For the modern fashionista, Savoy Taylors Guild is the place to go where you'll be able to find yourself a tailored suit and all of the accessories you need to look your very best when you head out in the Northbank or Covent Garden.
If you're looking to splash out on something sparkly then Hopkins and Jones jewellers offers a range of the very latest pieces as well as some classic vintage designs from leading jewellers around the world.
If you want to go away from your student accommodation in the Northbank for a shopping spree you've got Oxford Street not too far away. You'll find one of London's most affluent and wide-ranging shopping areas with everything from fashion designers and leading tech brands to smaller independent shops for your essentials.
Landmarks and Tourist Attractions in the Northbank
When it comes to landmarks and tourist attractions you're well catered for in the Northbank with plenty of places to go, things to do and sights to see on your doorstep.
Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery are two of London's most iconic landmarks where people flock from all around to marvel at the architecture, Nelson's Column and to sit around the different pools to relax in the summer sunshine.
Temple Gardens is the main green space in the Northbank. Situated to the east of Temple Underground station and close to Kings College London it is the ideal place to enjoy your lunch break between lectures or to study outside, especially with such a short distance to the Thames that makes it feel more like a county park than an inner-city green space.
On the northern side of Temple Gardens close to the Strand and Fleet Street is the beautiful structure of the 12th-century Temple Church. It was originally built by the Knights Templar to be their English headquarters and has been featured in Dan Brown's epic novel The Da Vinci Code as well as being used in the film adaptation starring Tom Hanks.
Another popular spot for tourists in the local area is the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. You can get here by tube directly to the Covent Garden station and the Opera House itself stands out clearly on one side of the famous Piazza. There are a wide range of shows and performances here, and you can even see street theatre performed outside by St Paul's Church.
Somerset House is a riverside palace that hosts a number of musical and theatrical events throughout the year, as well as being the home to an art gallery that is open to the public and a winter ice rink. In the summer months, when the ice rink is not present, there are a number of fountains lit up by LED lights that create a real show for the public to enjoy.
St Martin-in-the-Fields is an Anglican church in the corner of Trafalgar Square which first opened in the 1720s. Today it remains a place of worship complete with a café in a converted crypt with a number of lunchtime and evening music recitals.
Gyms in the Northbank
If fitness is your thing then the expanding nature of the Northbank area will mean that you'll have a range of the latest equipment in new facilities in the coming years. For the time being there are plenty of smaller gyms that accept new monthly or annual members, as well as personal trainers who charge by the hour and will put you through your paces to help you lose weight or improve your overall health and fitness.
Alternatively, many of our recently renovated student properties and new residential developments in London have their own gyms and saunas on-site. The student rentals that have their own gyms feature treadmills, bikes and more state-of-the-art machines and equipment that will help you to look and feel better about yourself in no time.
All the gyms, the equipment and saunas in our student lettings are free to use at your leisure as part of the rental agreement.
Hospitals in the Northbank
Kings College London is a leading teaching hospital in Lambeth, close to the Southbank, where students can find placements and patients can be treated on the NHS. The largest hospital locally is St Thomas', also in the Southbank, and this NHS hospital is one of London's leading facilities with an affiliation to Kings College London.
Any teaching hospital with an affiliation to your University is worth spending time at in order to boost your experience, and medical students base their student accommodation on the proximity to the hospital over the University so that they can arrive on-time for their shifts each day.

It's the start of a new year, which means there is no better time than right now to incorporate an email newsletter into your content marketing plan. But is email marketing really worth the time and effort? The answer is a resounding YES.
When done well, newsletters have a high reward, especially in today's digital landscape. Email newsletters are an opportunity to nurture relationships with prospective clients just by regularly showing up in their inbox. This may sound simple enough, and yet many firms don't take advantage of the many benefits of a digital newsletter. Perhaps the process feels too intimidating or perhaps their to-do list already has one too many to-do's.
Whatever your reason for not having an email newsletter, a new year is the perfect time to make a change. In this blog, I'll cover the benefits of email newsletters and give you the framework to create a drag-and-drop newsletter, no recreation of the wheel required.
Why You Need An Email Newsletter
Before I explain how to create a successful email newsletter, I might as well start by convincing you a newsletter is actually worth it.
Email newsletters serve you in many ways:
- They keep prospects informed. This is an opportunity to provide content that will keep your prospects informed on your business and the industry, while providing other important updates and information.
- They keep your service top of mind. Email newsletters can be used as an addition to your lead nurturing campaigns and can help bridge the gap between a prospect having an initial consultation with you and becoming a client. When a prospect isn't quite ready to buy, you stay top of mind by regularly showing up in their inbox. Plus, if your newsletter prompts a question or thought, it's really simple for a subscriber to simply hit reply and send an email back your way.
- They showcase your expertise and create trust. Showing up in someone's inbox consistently with important information not only establishes you as an expert, but it also helps create trust throughout your marketing and sales process. What problems do prospects have that you can help solve? Addressing the pain points of your prospects is a great way to show your value and expertise.
Getting Organized
Have I convinced you that an email newsletter is a good idea? Great! Now let's move on to what should be included in your newsletter and how to keep the creation process as streamlined as possible.
Before you get started with the actual content creation piece, the first step is determining the cadence of your email newsletters. It is extremely important for you to choose a cadence you can commit to. Being consistent and showing up in the subscribers inbox when promised will create trust. If you are committed to sending out a newsletter every Thursday, you need to be committed to sending out a newsletter every Thursday—no questions asked. Subscribers will quickly learn when to expect your email; they'll be trained to know when they'll hear from you, so if they don't, you'll only create disappointment.
Whether you decide on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly newsletter cadence is totally up to you, but being consistent is key. I recommend choosing at least a monthly cadence as with anything longer, the time between newsletters simply becomes too long and won't help keep your service at the forefront of your subscribers' minds. If there comes a time when a newsletter will be missed due to a holiday, vacation, or other commitment, address that in an earlier newsletter. Being consistent and having an open line of communication will show that you can keep commitments and are reliable, which in turn will allow you to build trust among your audience.
Building Out the Content
Now it's time to dive in and begin creating your content. The content section of your newsletter shouldn't be too heavy on words. In fact, it's better to keep it short and simple so you don't lose interest...this is an email after all, and attention spans grow shorter every day.
So where do you find content and what to do include in this section? You have a few directions you can take:
- You can share an industry article about an important, relevant topic that will be of interest to subscribers. Stumble across a financial planning or investment update that will be beneficial to your subscribers and help keep them informed? Jot it down to include in your next newsletter iteration (just make sure the article isn't out of date by the time you share it). Using this type of content in your newsletter is a great way to build trust and set the expectation that subscribers can rely on you to share important and useful news with them. To incorporate an outside article into your content section, simply include a few paragraphs of the story in your newsletter and ensure you give proper credit to the author and publication. Then, include a hyperlink for subscribers to continue reading the article on the original site where you found the article.
- Leverage your own content. If you regularly write a blog or record podcast episodes, you can use the content section of your newsletter to highlight a piece of this content further. You can even refurbish an old piece of content by making some small tweaks (a great example here is an old blog post) and including it in your newsletter as content. This is the type of content that is valuable to highlight to establish trust and show that you are the expert in your niche. Plus, it will push readers to explore more of your content.
- If you're feeling creative, you can always use the content section to free write. This can be a great place to keep subscribers informed about your firm. You can use this section to introduce and highlight new additions to your team, recent awards you may have won, or important firm changes/updates. You can even share updates on what you have been up to in your day-to-day life or share recommendations on podcasts you're listening to, books you're reading, or shows you are watching. Financial planning is all about creating relationships—bringing a human touch to your content will help you create genuine relationships.
- If writing isn't necessarily your favorite hobby, you can always incorporate a video into your newsletter. These videos don't need to be long and can be just a few minutes. You can use video to educate your audience on a popular topic or record yourself chatting about a recent industry article you read and the impact it may have on subscribers. Video is a really great way to show your authenticity and again, build a relationship.
- You can also include a section in your newsletter where prospects can engage with your firm by sharing upcoming events or speaking engagements. If you're hosting a webinar for prospects/clients on a financial planning topic, include a registration link. If you're speaking at an upcoming conference, even if it is an industry event for financial planners and not necessarily consumers, it's perfectly okay to include that news too. Sharing this information is another way to continue to increase your credibility and hold yourself as the expert in your particular niche and field. Consumers want to know that the person they choose to engage with is credible, trustworthy, and reliable.
Include a Call-to-Action
At the end of the day, your email newsletter isn't just about sharing content and firm updates to build trust among subscribers; it's also a marketing tactic and part of your overall content strategy. Therefore, it is important to have a call-to-action (CTA) somewhere in your newsletter that will bring your subscribers further down your marketing funnel to a point where they'll make the leap from prospect to client. This CTA should be the next action you want them to take so they continue onwards through your marketing funnel, whether it is scheduling an introductory meeting, downloading a content offer from your website, or subscribing to your blog.
Make It Easy to Connect
When a subscriber is reading your newsletter, it should be easy for them to get in touch with you. It is best practice to not send email newsletters from a "no-reply" email address, because you will miss out on an easy opportunity to stay in touch with prospects. Make it easy so that if a subscriber hits reply, they are able to send an email directly to you.
You can also include social media buttons on the bottom of your newsletter linking subscribers to the respective social media platform. These buttons will encourage subscribers to connect with you on your various social media platforms, such as your company Facebook page, LinkedIn profile, Twitter account, etc. If you're active on a social media platform, include a button because subscribers may not know you are active on that platform. Not only does it open the door for them to connect with you somewhere else and continue building the relationship but you may also be showcasing the subscribers preferred way of receiving communication and information from your business.
As with any type of email outreach, once you have your first email newsletter sent out the door, you need to monitor the type of engagement you receive and make improvements as needed. It will take a few iterations of your newsletter before you start to notice trends of what's working and what's not, so don't be too quick to make any adjustments without providing ample time for the emails to perform as intended. As your prospect list begins to grow and you learn more about the background of your audience, you can introduce segmentation by creating client avatars to provide content and CTAs that are tailored to the goals and background of each audience.
The hardest part of leveraging an email newsletter is just getting started. Once you have a process in place, it's much easier than you think to maintain. Choose a cadence you can commit to, determine your newsletter building blocks, and away you go. Before you know it, your email will be the "one to read" in your prospects' inboxes.

Letter: Like it or not, Publix is the go-to place
In response to The Ledger's July 18 article "Publix to build new supermarket, two family stores to close," I agree with Mike and Jay Patel about feeling bullied by big boy Publix Super Markets. They are right about money talks.
I shop Publix because my husband Preston likes their milk, also frozen fish that you can buy nowhere but Publix. While shopping at Publix for groceries recently, I was offered on two different days to sample alcohol. To me, if you're running a grocery store, it is no place to push the sale of alcohol.
While writing this letter, I'm laughing at myself.
My sister and I took a road trip to Alabama. Every Friday I buy two books for my husband. Where did we have to stop? At a Publix in Alabama. Maybe I'm the one who also likes Publix.

Implementing the Pace of Change in Business
by Hal Levenson on Sep 9, 2020 2:05 PM
Let's examine implementing the pace of change in business. I recently found a quote by the late management guru, Peter Drucker, that read: "The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence—it is to act with yesterday's logic."
As I think back on 2020, this statement could not be truer. Forced into turbulence by a global pandemic, businesses had to adapt – we could not act with yesterday's logic and had to pivot quickly.
However, under normal circumstances, as suggested in my recent articles, Setting the Pace of Change and Determining the Pace of Change, there are factors that impact strategic decisions. In this article, I share a word of caution, even when changes are thoughtfully identified, plans are rarely implemented perfectly.
The best plan will incorporate some flexibility to deal with issues such as internal processes, market dynamics, or emotional resistance. Lack of structure can jeopardize the entire change initiative. On the other hand, excessive structure can be too confining to succeed.
Leaders charged with implementation will need to be sensitive to assess how employees are adjusting and moving the process forward. They may find it necessary to accelerate or slow down the determined pace of change temporarily. Some critical guiding principles for leaders include:
- the need for trusted and skilled people throughout the organization to keep their finger on the pulse of team. These people need to be able to recognize self-protective behaviors, false enthusiasm or comfort levels, fears, and anger.
- good sonar and radar systems to help them identify things hiding below the surface and threats that could blindside them.
- the confidence to question and challenge all assumptions about information they receive, depending upon trusted team members to perform due diligence and push the perceived limits.
Remembering that there is no single pace for change in an organization is necessary. This empowers leaders to make mid-course adjustments and process changes to keep moving in the same direction.
The important factor in implementing the pace of change is getting everyone to the desired destination at the same time without losing key people, skills, and knowledge along the way.

Hofstetter takes Coupe de France title
AG2R's Nico Denz wins Tour de Vendée, but Cofidis rider takes overall prize
While Germany's Nico Denz (AG2R La Mondiale) rode to his first professional victory at the Tour de Vendée on Saturday, it was Cofidis' Hugo Hofstetter who took the overall victory in the season-long Coupe de France race series.
Hofstetter went into the last of the 15 'French Cup' races with a 30-point lead over second placed Samuel Dumoulin – Denz's AG2R teammate – who was the only rider who could mathematically still catch the 24-year-old Frenchman.
Consistency had been the order of the day for Hofstetter this year, who led the competition going into the final round despite not having won any of the previous rounds of the Coupe de France, which started at the end of January with the Grand Prix La Marseillaise, which was won by AG2R's Alexandre Geniez.
"I always want to win – even when I'm playing board games," Hoftstetter told the newspaper Ouest-France ahead of the final round.
"What we definitely won't do is chase any breakaways, because we need to make sure that Dumoulin doesn't finish in the top two, which is what he'd have to do to beat me" he continued, explaining the points situation, and how he intended to get the better of the three-time Coupe de France champion.
And while it was the case that Hofstetter again didn't win, with Denz taking the Tour de Vendée win from Cibel-Cebon's Lennert Teugels and Vorarlberg's Gian Friesecke, Hofstetter's 25th place, with Dumoulin down in 43rd, meant that the Cofidis rider retained his 30-point lead to take the overall title with 151 points to Dumoulin's 121, adding to his stage win at the Tour de l'Ain in May, and podium finishes at the Nokere Coerse, the GP de Denain and Cholet-Pays de la Loire this season.
Hofstetter's Cofidis teammate, Christophe Laporte, finished third overall in the Coupe de France with 103 points.

Dear all,
I'm about to refactor my 3d demo project. It was born about the time OpenGL 1.5 was considered modern. Since then some modern functionality has been added (VBO, floating point textures, FBO and so on, but only punctually).
I know that the answer to performance questions is always "it depends". So I'm trying to narrow the scope of my question. If you were to target OpenGL 4+ compatible nvidia graphic cards in the scenario I'll describe below, what would you recommend?
Here's the context of my demo: A scenegraph holds some objects which are composed of multiple (say 100) meshes (which may have varying matrices, textues and materials). During rendering the meshes are sorted by state. All meshes are stored in one large VBO (interleaved) which is bound once per frame. For each mesh the the vertex attributes are set up (glVertexAttribPointer), shader uniforms are set (glUniform) and textures might be bound (glBindTexture) before the mesh is rendered (glDrawRangeElements).
What are your performance observations with UBO vs. glUniform calls, explicit vs. automatic attribute locations in GLSL, one VAO per scene with one VBO per scene or one VBO per object vs. one VAO per object? What about bindless or direct state access?

LOS ANGELES — A shallow magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck the Los Angeles area Friday night, causing minor damage and injuries, scattered power outages, and gas leaks.
The earthquake occurred at 9:09 p.m. at a depth of 4.6 miles and was centered near Brea in Orange County — about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. It was immediately followed by dozens of aftershocks, including a 3.4 and 3.6 magnitude.
The earthquake was widely felt from northern San Diego County to Ventura County, and residents said shaking was felt for about 10 seconds. The larger quake followed a 3.6 magnitude foreshock that occurred in the same area an hour earlier.
Residents in northern Orange County shared photos of minor home damage, including cracked walls, fallen pictures and broken plates. Water mains were seen broken in nearby streets and a fire department in Fullerton was forced to evacuate over structural damage.
Minor gas leaks were also reported in the communities of La Habra, Fullerton and La Mirada.
"Just about everything in the city that could go wrong is going wrong," a La Habra Police Department spokesman told KNBC.
Police in Brea reported the earthquake triggered a landslide in Carbon Canyon, causing a car to overturn, resulting in minor injuries to the driver. Southern California Edison reported 2,000 customers were without power in the area.
The Red Cross opened a shelter in the La Habra Community Center for those impacted by the earthquake, the organization said.
"The Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments have conducted an assessment and report no damage in the city," Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
USGS officials said at a press conference late Friday there is a 5% chance of a larger earthquake occurring in the area within the next three days. The agency said it received a 4-second warning of the incoming quake from an early warning system it is still testing.
Early indications are that the earthquake is "related to the Puente Hills thrust fault, which caused the Whittier Narrows earthquake back in 1987," Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson said. "That may change over time as we look at the data."
According to The Los Angeles Times, scientists are particularly concerned about the Puente Hills thrust fault because it runs directly underneath downtown Los Angeles.
Seismologist Sue Hough told the paper in 2003, "This is the fault that could eat L.A."

"It's like a boutique hotel of modelling" @robbo
Great looking Deuce and a half. I like the weathering and the canvas looks great!
thank you Morne...and good morning to you
On the ball once again Bob.
Looks swell sir.
Well done mate.
cute quip...thank you Si
Nicely weathered and detailed, Mr. Mack...and photographed - a good piece of work all around.
thank you sarge...a four day quicky...you'd have had it in a day
I agree the weathering is a high point of the build. You've caught the panels exactly.
all ways appreciate your eye Rob...thank you
Weathering of the cover especially is amazing !
thank you Chris
very nice looking truck! great job on the weathered canvas top!
much appreciated Ramon
I have always liked this rig for some reason or another and you have really done it justice. A little aside if I may. During the summer after high school I along with five other guys my age worked for the City street department. One of the rigs we used was a surplus truck like this one. It was a Mess and was a bear to drive. It was a challenge to see who could drive it the best. None of us could and by summers end the six of us 18 year olds reduced this once proud warrior to a worthless POS. Today the six of us (still around) would do anything we could to restore it to it's glory.
oh...double clutching...no power nothing...a beast i imagine...thank you
I took a few rides in one of these things in the winter, they are not for the Cadillac crowd...noisy, cold, drafty, rode "rough as a bus'. Great job on the model, the canvas looks as real as can be.
thank you mike...i'll bet it beat you up
Bob, like Mike, I had some rides on the later version from late '67- 69. All I can say is that it beat marching. Is this the Studebaker or the GMC? Only way I can tell is the cab slope, myself.
thank you very much Bernie...it's the GMC...amen it beats gravel crunching
Great looking truck, Bob, like the others have said, your finish and weathering really make it look the part.
gentleman George...nice to hear from you and thank you
Fantastic truck Bob. Great painting, I love that dusty look.
thank you very much Richard

Making German Bread in Your Home Oven
By Stefanie
Making bread is as much an art as it is science. There are many ways to make bread—and I am sure many people have their own favorite way. There are direct yeast methods as well as poolish and sourdough to mention a few. We moved to the U.S. years ago, and I realized fast that I had to make my own bread, as I was used to crusty German bread. Over the years I have been reading many books—some with fabulous explanations and directions (such as Peter Rheinhart's books), others with recipes that didn't bring good results (at least for me). I certainly did my share of experiments resulting in bread that was impossible to enjoy, but I believe I have now found ways to make breads that are very similar to what I was used to from Germany—crusty, hearty loaves without sugar or oil—though I only have a "normal" oven to bake them in.
It is important to note that there is not just one "right" way—I believe one has to find the way that makes bread the way one likes it but also fits into the schedule one has. I work full time, and have horses and therapy dogs, so bread making had to fit my busy schedule. The following is the way I make our daily bread. In addition I wanted to share with readers a recipe for "schwarzbrot"—a famous bread in Germany that is very healthy and hearty and really easy to make. My friends here call it "doorstopper bread" as it is extremely heavy, and they request it whenever we have a brunch or potluck as they all love it.
First, how to make a loaf of "German Daily Bread."
The standard bread in Germany has up to 30% rye and 70% wheat. Most bakeries do not use whole wheat. I modified my recipes and approach, as I like to use whole grains, though I don't exclusively use whole grain flour. So, here we go:
Let's say I want to bake on the weekend, in that case I'll start on Friday evening. (You can modify it certainly to start in the morning, and then continue in the evening, which is what I do frequently, too).
I grind about 3 cups of wheat berries into a fine flour. Mix that with 1/4 teaspoon dry yeast and enough water to make a mash that has oatmeal consistency. Cover and let rise at room temperature over night. This is similar to a poolish, just that you give it more time (not enough for a sourdough though) to fit it into your schedule.
In a separate bowl, I use 3 cups of boiling water and stir in enough freshly ground rye flour to be able to still stir with a spoon. Cover and let sit as well. I found that this process makes the rye more easily digested and makes for a very nice, moist bread in the end, too.
(This process allows for both the wheat and rye bran to get thoroughly hydrated, avoiding a "strawy" consistency and flavor. You won't even know it's whole grain flour in the bread!)
The next morning, mix the rye porridge into the wheat porridge until they are blended. (At this time you can add some spices if you like: 1/2 teaspoon each of ground caraway seeds, fennel and coriander—a wonderful mix that is used in Bavaria).
Add 1 teaspoon dry yeast, 1 tablespoon salt and enough wheat flour (this is where I use bread-flour, not whole wheat, as the whole wheat would not have sufficient time to hydrate and you can end up with the strawy flavor) to make slightly sticky dough, that will clear the bowl. Let rise for about 1 hour or until about double the size. Knead for 1 minute again, shape into two loaves (round or oblong) and let rise. I use breadbaskets for this step, for multiple reasons: it is easy and I can clean up the kitchen right away. The second, and important reason: When rising in the breadbasket, the dough will rise on the top, then you turn it upside down in the oven, which allows the bread to rise more in the area that was formerly on the bottom of the basket and couldn't rise as well. This makes for a very nice risen bread. It truly does "explode" in the oven! And a third reason: it's really easy to transport onto the baking stone at a time when it is to be handled very delicately to not collapse on you! If you don't have a breadbasket, you can line a bowl with a floured cloth. You can also let it rise in a free shape on the counter and then transport it onto the stone with a peel.
While the bread is rising after it's shaped, I heat up the oven to 440°F. In the oven I have two pizza stones—one on the bottom shelf, one on the highest shelf. I also have in the oven a bread-form filled with Sauna Rocks, which I found to be the best way to create steam. (Important note on the pizza stones: I have read that people use unglazed tiles, which will work, however, the pizza stones are food safe—unglazed tiles may not be. They may have been made with heavy metals for example, so I would spend the $10 or so and get a pizza stone.) The pizza stones need to be really hot, so they need about one hour to heat up to 440°F. When the bread is ready to bake, I flip it gently over onto the bottom pizza stone and score it with a razor blade. Then I quickly pour about 1/2 cup of water onto the hot stones to generate the burst of steam that is needed for a nice rise—and close the oven door quickly. After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 410°F (do not open the oven door, just turn down the thermostat). The bread takes about one hour to bake, and is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
This bread can be modified to contain up to 70% rye (just make the starter with rye as well), but note that the more rye flour you use, the softer and stickier the dough should be. I found 30% rye to be very easy to handle and that amount of rye is sufficient to make the loaves stay fresher longer and not go stale after one day.
Schwarzbrot (black bread)
You will need two or three large loaf pans.
Preheat oven to 340°F, place a baking sheet on the bottom rack and place another rack right above the baking sheet.
1 pound cracked rye
1 pound cracked wheat
1 pound whole wheat flour
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1/2–2/3 cup honey or molasses
2 pint luke warm buttermilk
Mix everything until well-mixed (best done with your hands in a large bowl). Evenly distribute in oiled and floured loaf pans, making sure the pans are only 3/4 filled. Immediately place in the oven and bake for 3-1/2 hours (yes, I really mean that!). After that time, take the loaves out, let cool for about 10 minutes and then remove from pans and let cool on a rack.
Important: Do not eat the same day—wait until the next day. It will cause stomachaches if eaten fresh out of the oven (besides you won't be able to slice it).
Slice this bread as thin as you can—I love it with cheese or ham; my husband loves jam on it. This bread stays fresh for a long time and freezes beautifully. I normally make a double batch, as this fits in my oven, and then freeze loaves I don't immediately need.
Variations to this bread are easy, too. You can add raisins or other dried fruit, or nuts. Traditionally it has only sunflower seeds (you can omit those as well, just adjust the flour slightly if you do).

Toward a new 'we' in York (column)
Whether we find ourselves at work, with friends, or with the family during Thanksgiving dinner, many of us have come to dread certain conversations. Difficult topics can be toxic to otherwise peaceful circumstances, especially the topics of both state and national politics. Although this fear is understandable, it is anathema to the American way. This country was founded on principles that encouraged and supported public dialogue among its citizens to help drive the country forward. We have all but lost this idea; we have to get it back.
More:Are internet trolls worth trying to understand? Yes! (column)
In my line of work, public dialogue for the purposes of political improvement has been called "deliberative democracy." Put simply, this is the belief that citizens engaged in authentic dialogue are the best and most appropriate agents of change. Although some people in my field think this is a tall order, the country was, indeed, founded on such principles. Admittedly, deliberative democracy is a tall order on a national level, but on the local level it has been and can be quite effective. Unfortunately, faith in this method of politics has waned.
In order to bring dialogue back to public politics, we may first have to redefine our concept of "we." When many of us think about their fellow citizens, some people are included while others are left out. The "we" of America needs to be more inclusive, and the only way to do this is through dialogue. Through dialogue, we can understand commonalities. Through dialogue, we can understand the origin of our differences. Through dialogue, we can reconfigure "we" to be more inclusive and more reflective of America's citizens. It is an interesting fact that, decades ago, participants of the York Charrettes who actually called themselves the "We Group" had a hand in creating Family First Health in York. I feel we need to bring this kind of collaboration back. The power of "we" as opposed to "I" is profound.
This re-conception of "we" can also help us with another issue. Many people speak on topics even though they have incomplete knowledge of those topics. Even if one researches certain information, he or she may miss vital information from other points of view or experiential information that can create a clearer and more informed understanding. What better way to remedy this than through dialogue? Each person can bring what he or she knows, discuss the information, and come to a collective conclusion about the best ways to carry on as a community. This is to say that dialogue can make incomplete information more complete.
Embracing "we" is powerful, but it is also quite practical. Because public dialogue is such a powerful thing, perhaps that public should have the most say in how politics play out in the community. Many political activists use a maxim that speaks to this: "Not about us without us." This means that we are the best people to decide what is good for our city. Even the most well-meaning politician may be so removed from the immediacy of a community's concerns that he or she may not be fully equipped to offer solutions. The inhabitants of a community, those on the front lines of local issues, can provide insight and strategies better tailored to a specific situation.
As I have already conceded, this is a tall order. All this sounds great in theory, but is it possible? Can we come together to have these hard discussions? Will people put away their individual and group pride to listen to people they deem strangers? The answer is yes. The key is to tell our stories. Noelle McAfee, a scholar of deliberative democracy, cites several philosophers and educators who insist that the best way to promote public dialogue has been to "develop principles and practices" dedicated to "making sure that everyone had an opportunity to talk; defusing dogmatic assertions with requests for stories that explained points of view, personal history, experience, and context; stories that might bring forth people's underlying values and hopes." Often, WHY someone believes something is just as important — if not more so — than what they believe. "Why" gives insight and promotes relatability.
We may not realize it, but some of the most important beliefs we have were created and perpetuated by stories or what activist (and Lancaster native) Jonathan Smucker calls "Narratives": "Narrative is fundamental to how we humans make sense of the world. . . . Narrative frames our thinking, our actions, and importantly, our social identifications and loyalties." Smucker goes on to write, "We may 'tell stories,' but stories also tell us how to act and what to do." If this is the case, then narrative may be the most powerful tool for public dialogue. Telling our stories may be the best way to co-create a more inclusive "we" that can really start to make change in our community. In other words, being told what to think or do is not as effective as hearing someone's story when it comes to understanding issues, others, and even ourselves.
While considering all of this, I am reminded of the Buddhist Concept of "Itai Doshin," which means "many in body, one in mind." This concept promotes the idea that the most dynamic and fulfilling change comes when many diverse people come together to share a common goal. I believe that York would do well to come together in this way. This will take coming together and a willingness to share and listen.
Let the new "we" begin.

In Kon v. City of Los Angeles, published June 1, 2020, the Second District Court of Appeal, Division 8 reversed an order dismissing the plaintiff's suit. The plaintiff alleged that a police officer accused him of speeding, tackled the plaintiff while he was on the phone, put his knee in the plaintiff's back while the plaintiff was down, hit the plaintiff, and handcuffed him. The officer alleged that the plaintiff was speeding, refused to provide his driver's license, insurance, and registration, pulled away from the officer's handcuffs and resisted arrest, and required subduing. The plaintiff was charged with resisting arrest. He pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace. He then sued the officer for using excessive force. He asserted causes of action under Civil Code section 52.1, assault, battery, and negligence. The trial court dismissed the action because it concluded the allegation of resisting arrest barred his action.
The appellate court ruled the trial court erred. Under Yount v. City of Sacramento (2008) 43 Cal.4th 885, a criminal conviction bars a subsequent civil suit arising out of the same incident if the allegations in the suit are inconsistent with the conviction. This rule serves the goals of finality and consistency. Here, the civil suit is about whether the defendant officer used excessive force. The criminal case did not address or resolve that issue. The civil suit therefore is not inconsistent with the conviction. The civil suit may proceed.

Wild, wild east...
Irkutsk, Russian Federation
29.10.2005 - 29.10.2005
View Train from Paris to Hong Kong on GregW's travel map.
It's good to be off the train. Irkutsk, Russia has a feeling of a wild west town. Siberia has often seen itself as Russia's answer to the USA's wild west. Siberia is the wild east of Russia. There are lots of little wooden cabins lining big streets. I kept expecting Black Bart to step out and challenge me to a shoot out.
I only had a day here, which I spent wandering around. The weather was beautiful for Siberia for this time of year. The sun was shining and the temperature was around 11 degree Celsius.
I'd love to spend more time here. Irkutsk is a great gateway to the Lake Baikal region. Lake Baikal holds one fifth of all the fresh water in the world, more than Canada / USA's great lakes combined. Lake Baikal is small, only a 100 miles or so across, but is very deep, up to 2 kilometers in some points. Lake Baikal was formed as two continental plates have pulled apart slowly. Eventually, these plates will pull completely apart and separate Asia by a newly formed ocean. Does this mean that if I had waited a couple million of years, I could have done 3 continents on this trip?
Next up, heading South towards Mongolia. Senor Lenin, which way is that?

JTBC is coming up with a crime thriller show called Undercover which will follow The End Of The World, which unfortunately has been reduced to half of its planned episodes due to poor ratings. It is another thing that the medical drama has formed a cult status among fans.
Undercover is the story of undercover detectives who infiltrate a crime organisation for drug investigation. It stars Jung Kyung Ho (Smile, You), Nam Gyuri (49 Days) and Jo Han Seon (The Invincible) in the lead roles; both the male leads have this as their first drama after military service. In fact, both are doing dramas after a long gap: Jung Kyung Ho starred in The Great Gye Choon Bin in 2010 and Jo Han Seon did April Kiss in 2004. It will be pretty amazing for the fans to watch them on TV screens. I have not seen any of their shows but they look cute. The story looks rich in potential of a good thriller and it is interesting to note that the PD of the drama did rom-com I Need Romance and its sequel. Wow, that looks like a huge change from light to more serious stuff. Let's see, how this drama shapes up.
Undercover premieres on May 25.

The source of circumcision is not known with certainty. There are many theories about its production and development, but no one appears to be able to pinpoint an exact date or time. Circumcision Melbourne may have been produced out of necessity, or out of religious observance. Perhaps the most common theory on its source is that it developed throughout ancient times, during historical Israel. Some historians think that it developed during the time of Moses, but others think it was done before the birth of Jesus Christ.
The Egyptians considered themselves to be immortal. They considered that after they had been born, their foreskin would automatically be cut off if they became older. Later, they concluded that this was applicable only to male humans. Thus, this is probably the main reason why female genitalia were cut during ancient Egyptian civilization.
The Origin of Circumcision
Another theory about the source of female genital cutting is that it evolved as a way of increasing children. By cutting off the clitoris, the Egyptian women could better care for their kids and permit them to experience a normal childhood. Many historians also speculate that the custom of cutting off the clitoris has been done to avoid conception. But, there is little historical evidence to back up this idea.
The Origin of Circumcision
No one knows where the habit originated. Some suppose that it came from ancient Egypt, but others state it originated in Ancient Israel. How could this common clinic come from one nation, while it was far away from another? Some feel that the origin of cutting off the clitoris has to do with ancient civilizations that regarded women as land of those guys.
The fact of the matter is that there are many unique theories about the origin of this habit. No one knows where it started or who brought it in to use. Some physicians think it originated with the Moores. Other people think it came from Ancient Greece. However, others believe it actually originated with early India, as practiced by the Brahmins.
The Origin of Circumcision
There's one theory that makes sense. It states that the source of this practice could be related to the idea of ritual. Each tribe had its own form of identification and societal hierarchy. For many tribes, the male's genitals were a indication of his rank in society. Cutting them off was supposed to take out the indication of social status, therefore eliminating any possible prospect of improper sexual practices.
Today, this practice has been discarded in most areas, but it still exists in certain tribal societies. This source of cutting off the clitoris is the most likely associated with early times. Perhaps it was supposed to discourage promiscuous sexual behavior so as to safeguard women from becoming defenseless. This could explain why it had been done during the time of Moses.
The Origin of Circumcision
There is no denying that this practice had a legal cause in early times. However, moderns have taken away the main reason behind this exercise, which merely served to raise man's anxiety and anxiety, instead of diminishing it. circumcision Adelaide should not be used as a way to stop ordinary sexuality, but rather, as a tool to be performed for cosmetic or hygienic reasons. This practice has no place in modern medicine.
Some claim that the origin of the habit is Egyptian, but this remains unproven. It may have originated in India, but this remains unproven also. Any historical origin that can be traced has to be genuine, yet some people find it amusing that the habit came from the Egyptians. The truth is that this origin has nothing to do with hygiene or cleanliness.
Ancient Egyptians used this clinic to repair a hemorrhage and also to ensure that the next kid was healthy. They did this by tying a ribbon around the boy's testicles. This was subsequently tied for many days, preventing the boy out of going, until all areas of the skin in which hardened and bleeding. The boy could be tied to a plank to be healed. This is believed to have been practiced during theioplast century.
This practice had various other applications, such as if a boy was born dead. A piece of the boy's rib was removed and packed into his or her body. This guaranteed he would always die with a fantastic funeral, instead of being put to death by being stitched to a block. Another form of the origin of this tradition was to cleanse the guy of evil deeds. Boys were tied into a tree, with their testicles sticking out, till they paid the cost for their wicked deeds. The boys of the Middle Ages also use castors to extract the foreskin wheneve

Do you know how you can grow your online business? Internet marketers target a whole lot in receiving unique customers like this is definitely the only way of developing the businesses. Small perform that they know that it's actually the most pricey and time-consuming approach to developing their businesses. Focusing on existing clients to build your organization by simply coming up with various ways for them to buy more and more often is actually the quickest and cheapest approach to grow your online organization and maximize your salary. That stated, I would really prefer to catch the attention of your focus about 3 or more successful options for developing your website, which in turn include getting new consumers, reselling additional to existing customers and retailing considerably more often to existing buyers. Do you do that? Well why don't we target on one by one to throw more light on the importance of learning to grow your online business with all the three methods.
1. Getting different customers.
Since already complained, getting new customers to grow your online organization is definitely the challenging and time-consuming method. Effective new clients to buy from you requires you to do a great deal in terms of promoting. Persons tend not to very easily buy from strangers. For you to influence all of them, this really does take time. You need to build your online trustworthiness and believability through applying proven options for presenting yourself as a specialist in your discipline of expertise, to out be competitive your competitors. This kind of is time-consuming and is undoubtedly a person motive why different marketers find it difficult to break through. Focusing in obtaining brand-new customers without having a obvious plan to maintain out of date ones is another justification why a lot of marketers forget to grow their online businesses. Whilst getting cutting edge customers is very important to grow your online business, you require also to focus on retaining these people therefore as not to waste the resources you used getting these people. Study methods to get different customers and maintaining them to grow the web business.
2. Advertising extra to existing buyers.
Is actually very simpler to grow the web based business with existing customers than obtaining cutting edge types. It is because that they have found that you and know your goods. Because they have used your products, even if you introduce new products it's convenient to persuade them to get. The responsibility nowadays is to develop various techniques so they can purchase more and more out of you. You can do this through discover various marketing programs which will persuade those to buy as they observe the advantage of ordering again a person. For case, if you have 5 buyers, whom buy items comparative to 50 bucks each monthly, you bring in $2, 4000 from these people in a given time. In the event you knuckle down to obtain 4 extra customers in the same calendar year, who can easily as well use on ordinary $50 each month, you might gain $ 5, 800 from the almost 8 nolvadex reviews buyers (4 out of date & some fresh customers). But if you get 5 new buyers and motivate the four unwanted consumers to pay 50 percent more, the earnings will certainly hop via bucks some, 800 to usd six, 500 in a 365 days. Will you see how fast you should have increased your business by simply directing your power in both out of date and cutting edge customers? In the example previously mentioned, what you did is to increase what your ancient customers buy from you by simply 50% which is what is known as the TRANSACTION WORTH. At all times concentrate on your older customers simply by approaching up with techniques for increasing their transaction value to grow your online business. Can you do that?
3. Merchandising on a regular basis to existing clients.
Growing the online organization will certainly primarily depend on how often every single of the customers tends to buy from you. This is very important. You have to come up with approaches to keep all of them returning acquire from you. Let myself show this kind of by building on the same case above. Whenever each of the 5 old clients you have put in $50 each month, you would definitely gain $2, 100 in twelve months. Yet if you worked harder to cause them to become increase all their transaction worth by 50%, each consumer would definitely spend $75 every month and also you would get paid $3, six-hundred within one year. If the four clients boost the number of instances they invest in you to three times per annum, through your promotional attempts, they would probably dedicate a total of $10, 800. Can you imagine your revenue rolling from $6, 000 to $10, 800 as a result of focusing on the rate every customer purchases from you? In the model above, the assumed revenue has raised coming from $6, 000 to $, 800 as a result of quantity of intervals each of the 4 customers returned to get from you. You have not got clients but your earnings is elevating. That's what is known as THE FREQUENCY OF PURCHASE. Increase your online business by focusing on the quantity of times each customer will buy from you!
As you operate hard to grow the organization, talk to yourself the examples below questions and make sure you discover the answers.
I. How many buyers do you own at the moment?
II. Just how much carry out they will use on normal in you deal?
III. Just how many times carry out they spend in a month or in a 12 months?
IV. What would probably happen should i increased their very own transaction benefit by five per cent to 50 percent or even more?
V. What will i do to enhance their deal value?
VI. What will i do to improve their occurrence of pay for?
When you effectively find answers to the on top of questions, you will obviously can not find obstacle in building a good business. You will possess noted the right way to expand your web business. Will that help you? For additional information browse below fugu-sushi.pl .

An alliance of 14 retailers has been set up to create a 'mobile wallet' on your phone that will better similar attempts by Google and mobile network operators. The Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX) comprises Wal-Mart, Shell, Target, 7-Eleven and other large retailers.
Though the companies behind MCX have yet to set a service launch date or appoint a CEO, they acknowledge that they are competing with companies such as Google in the mobile payments sphere. These merchants are hoping to meet the growing demand from customers who are looking for more mobile payments options, and will be relying on their knowledge of shoppers' buying habits.
The new group, rather clunkily called the Merchant Customer Exchange, is developing a mobile application that will allow customers to pay for goods at participating stores' if they register with their smartphones. The phone app will also give users exclusive coupons and deals. The merchants currently involved in MCX — it is hoped others will join soon — aim to deploy MCX to their existing customer base and to teach them to pay by phone.
Executives from Google have been quoted as saying that they don't see MCX as a threat. Instead they believe that having mobile wallet competition is important in raising mobile payments higher in consumer consciousness.
The list of merchants that will accept the new application includes 7-Eleven, Alon, Best Buy, CVS, Darden Restaurants, HMSHost, Hy-Vee, Lowe's, Publix, Sears, Shell, Sunoco, Target and Wal-Mart. The consortium believes that its scale — together the stores account for roughly US$1 trillion in annual sales — will help it emerge as the standard for mobile payments.
"We believe MCX is uniquely qualified to offer the most comprehensive mobile payment options for consumers," said Terry Scully, president of financial and retail services at Target, in a prepared statement. "By participating in MCX, merchants are in a position to effectively deliver innovative payment approaches that aren't available today."
Yankee Group's principal analyst, Nick Holland said this is, "yet another mobile wallet announcement, but strongly lacking in details pertaining to the nuts and bolts of how it will work. In one aspect, merchants are the best qualified to develop a mobile payment service given that they are half of the chicken and egg conundrum, and presumably they will design a solution with their best interests in mind".
"For the likes of Google, Isis, PayPal and Square, this could be problematic," adds Holland. "Yes, competition is good, but any of these companies would have given an arm and a leg to have the likes of Wal-Mart and Target as flagship clients. For consumers, it's just one more wallet and may further compound the current market confusion."
Bank Systems Technology is reporting that worldwide mobile payment transaction values are expected to surpass US$171.5 billion in 2012, a 61.9% increase from the 2011 figure of $105.9 billion, according to analyst firm Gartner, Inc. Gartner also predicts the number of mobile payment users will reach 212.2 million by the end of 2012, up from 160.5 million in 2011.

Watch Matty Hong Climb 5.15s in Spain
When Matty Hong sets out to accomplish something, like sending two 5.15a routes in Spain, there's nothing that can stop him from attaining his goal.
During his spring trip to Spain, Hong applied himself to no end to make quick work of La Rambla in Siurana and Joe Mama in Oliana. Watch below.
'La Rambla' is complete, my second route of the grade (9a+ or 5.15a). However this time the number wasn't as important for me. Climbing remains to be a confusing challenge that is different with every climb. I've pushed myself equally as hard on routes of a lesser grade. The satisfaction of this sport does not come in numbers but in the moment when you accomplish something you had to work hard for. I'm happy with my climbing and that's where the pleasure comes from. Good times working this route with @jon_cardwell and @margojain who will hop on the 🚂 shortly. Venga! // 📷 @greg_mionske
In a 2015, Hong did an interview with Moga Gear, where he said that his parents Steve Hong and Karin Budding introduced him to climbing at a young age.
"Both are still active climbers and my most consistent partners. I don't remember when I started climbing, similar to how I don't remember my first steps, but I know it's always been a big part of my life and who I am."
At the time, Hong had not climbed 5.15 and to the question "if you could give one piece of advice to a v15/5.15 crusher, what would it be?' He said, "Check your ego; make sure you're still having fun."

Post Graduate Diploma in Pharmacovigilance & Clinical Data Management, PGDPVCDM
Pharmacovigilance (Drug safety) is a crucial aspect in the development of new drugs as well as the continued marketing of drugs available in the market. Pharmaceutical companies are required by law to ensure that the drugs that they develop are safe for the population and thus many steps are undertaken throughout the life cycle of a drug to ensure that safety data is collected, analysed and reported appropriately. The area of drug safety is coming up in a big way in developing countries while opportunities are also growing in developed countries.
Clinical Data Management on the other hand plays a very important role in managing the huge amount of data that is obtained during clinical trials. Data management professionals ensure that the data is managed by means of specialized software's. so that the data is error free, accurate and ready for analysis by biostatisticians. Data management staff also develop the data management plan before data collection begins and develop various tools used by the research staff for collecting data. The data management staff works closely with the clinical operations department, medical writers, biostatisticians, regulatory affairs teams and many other functional teams. People trained in data management can explore careers in contract research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, pharma IT companies etc.
Pharmacovigilance, in layman's terms is drug safety. It can be defined as the study and prevention of adverse effects caused by pharmaceutical products. Pharmacovigilance is the reason that many drugs are withdrawn from or not even brought into the market at times. All this has led to explosive demand for trained and skilled personnel in this field. This program aims to train professionals in pharmacovigilance and clinical data management how can work as Research Coordinator, Research Associate, Drug Safety Associate, Senior Pharmacovigilance Consultants, Principal Investigator, Regulatory Consultant, Drug Safety Managers and Clinical Data Manager etc.

Hedge Fund Rule's Demise: Wachtell Laments
The lawfirm Wachtell, Lipton Rosen & Katz has long been on the forefront of helping corporate managers protect themselves from shareholders. They proudly claim to have invented the poison pill, that all-but-foolproof shield against hostile takeovers. Lately, the firm has been at the forefront of advising corporate America on how to protect themselves against activiest hedge fund managers.
So it comes as no surprise that the firm has issued a client memo lamenting the demise of the SEC rule requiring hedge fund managers to register as investment advisors. What is a bit surprising, is that none of Wachtell's lawyers have given campaign contributions to Congressman Barney Frank.
Come on, fellas. This guy is writing the new regulation you want so bad. Get your checks books out. This is America. You get what you pay for!

The DGM Expert Committee Continuous Casting has been in existence since 1972 and currently has three working groups dealing with all issues relating to continuous casting with furnace-dependent and furnace-independent molds for a wide range of materials, starting from aluminium and copper materials, and spray forming of special materials based on aluminium, copper, and steel. The Expert Committee brings together experts from production plants, suppliers of refractory materials, melting and casting furnaces, casting plants, measuring and operating technology and experts and young scientists from research institutes, colleges and universities for technical discussions, practical exchanges of experience and, not least, reciprocal plant visits. The Expert Committee meets once a year for its annual conference, the working groups usually meet twice a year.
Specifically, the Expert Committee works on various overarching topics addressed in the working groups and working-group-specific work items. The unifying and long-term oriented issues of the Expert Committee include:
The aforementioned content priorities shape the characteristics of the organization of the Expert Committee. These include reciprocal plant visits, the interdisciplinary and practical exchange of experience on technical process issues, technical presentations (by members and invited experts), a "Symposium on Continuous Casting" usually held every five years, the promotion of scientific understanding of the casting process, regular benchmarking to define state of the art, the initiation and technical support of funded R&D projects, and the involvement and promotion of young talent.
The Expert Committee and, following their technical specialization, the working groups see themselves as a meeting of continuous casters; however, they are fundamentally open to persons or institutions with relevant expertise and junior staff in industry and research as well as to students before graduation. The Expert Committee has guest members and permanent members. Guest members participate sporadically or are invited to specific topics according to their professional orientation. Permanent members are actively involved in at least two of the Expert Committee's target areas and/or its working groups and contribute permanently and actively to the Committee's work. They form problem-related ad hoc working groups as needed. They are admitted by-election after a personal presentation. They actively work on the working topics' design and solution and facilitate reciprocal plant or institute visits. All members follow the compliance rules of the DGM.
