The Smart Growth Roswell Project

One of the goals of New Urban Roswell is to take an objective look at where our city is currently and where we should go.  The principles that I believe in, those of New Urbanism, Smart Growth and Sustainability, will be the guiding winds.

We will be looking at the city and our environment mainly through the lenses of the books Suburban Nation and The Smart Growth Manual.  They will serve as knowledgeable guides through our city and will help determine what is working, what is not working and what will work in the future.

We will also look at city plans to help us determine where the plans are taking us.  Hopefully, they are taking us in the right direction.  I hope that as this site grows and becomes more of a compendium that our citizens can use as a reference and tool to effect positive change within our community.

To start off, I'd like to pose some questions?

- Are most of Roswell's residents able to walk or bike to work?

- Can your children or those in your neighborhood walk to school?

- Is there a park or public space (not a road) that is within a 5 minute walk of your home?

- Are drivers able to effectively move around town without accessing congested arterial roads?

- Do you live in a neighborhood with homes that are valued outside of a standard range for all of the homes in the community?

- Do you have more than two entrances/exits to your neighborhood?

- Do most of the homes in your neighborhoods look similar?

- Do you have effective transportation options other than the automobile?

- Does your region have a comprehensive plan in place to curtail sprawl, encourage walkability, facilitate connectivity and movement of people?

We'll take a look at all of these questions individually in coming posts.  But first, if you are unfamiliar with the concepts of new urbanism and smart growth, now might be a good time to familiarize yourself.  Be careful though because you might start to see your reality as something that you don't particularly like.

We'll start with New Urbanism.  You can see a few videos here, here and here.  Or if you prefer to read an overview, check this page from the Congress for the New Urbanism out.  I'll quickly summarize though.  New urbanism is based upon classic principles of town design.  You could actually call it old urbanism or traditional neighborhood design.  Towns like Alexandria, VA, Charleston, SC and the French Quarter in New Orleans are all great examples of what would be New Urban communities if built today.  Towns have a discernable town center that is typically within a 5-10 minute walk of most residences.  There is generally a variety of housing types ranging from condos above shops to townhomes to single family homes with yards.  The neighborhood is built in a way that it encourages a mixture of ages and ethnicities.  This all directly opposes the monoculture theology of suburban sprawl.  Unfortunately, with the exception of the Historic Roswell, South Atlanta Street corridor, our city does not currently exhibit many of these characteristics.

When you look at new urbanism, you see that it is focused mostly on neighborhoods and what is contained within those neighborhoods or smaller towns.  You can either take a step down a level and deal with the sustainability of the buildings within those neighborhoods or you can take a step up and look at the overall sustainability of the region.  This is where smart growth comes in.

The term smart growth has been around for years and many have found it to be presumptuous in nature.  How can they know what is good for me and my city?  Well, when you take a look at the principles of smart growth, you see that it is actually quite particular to the specific region where it is being applied.  For example, the region as a whole must come together and agree upon goals and initiatives of where development should be targeted, avoided and prohibited.  This process requires an enormous amount of thought, research and planning around land use and transportation.  It is different for every city or region.  As outlined in The Smart Growth Manual, the main areas of concern to ensure that growth is indeed smart are the Region, the Neighborhood, the Street and the Building.  For a quick primer on smart growth, you can watch a video here or read about it here.

Now that you have a quick primer on the principles of smart growth and new urbanism.  We'll begin to take a look at the questions posed earlier in this post in upcoming posts.

How government money can corrupt the press: The story from Argentina

The element of the Downie/Schudson report that’s triggered the most fuss is its call for a larger role for the government in funding journalism — the creation of a “Fund for Local News,” supported by taxes or fees, that would support news organizations. And it’s true that the United States is a global anomaly in how little it spends to support journalism.

But an interesting new study gives some backing to critics who argue any government dollars come with strings attached.

The paper, by Harvard’s Rafael Di Tella and Northwestern’s Ignacio Franceschelli, analyzes Argentina’s four largest newspapers and finds a strong correlation between their willingness to cover government scandal and the amount of money they received from government coffers.

“There’s a huge correlation, controlling for everything,” Di Tella, the Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, told me. “I’m interested in why people believe the things that they believe, and newspapers are extremely influential in that.”

Di Tella and Franceschelli compared two data sets covering the four major Argentine national dailies: Clarín, La Nación, Página 12, and Ámbito Financiero. The first was one they created: They took 10 years of each newspaper and measured the percentage of each paper’s front page taken up by stories about government corruption. That allowed them to compare how interested each paper was in covering corruption at any given moment, at least in comparison to its peer newspapers.

The second data set came from an Argentine NGO: details of how much the government spent in newspaper advertising, month-by-month and by newspaper. (The NGO had obtained the data through Argentina’s freedom of information act.)

Argentine governments have a long tradition of buying large amounts of advertising in newspapers. And the decisions of where to place ads is left to the government’s whims; in practice, advertising dollars (pesos, actually) are divvied up in ways that curry favor and reward media behavior. The paper quotes an Economist piece from 2006:

One of the government’s tools is money. The robust recovery in Argentina’s economy since its collapse of 2001-02 has boosted tax revenues. That has brought an eightfold increase in the real value of the federal publicity budget (to $46m in 2006) since [past president Nestor] Kirchner took office in 2003. Argentine governments have a long tradition of funneling official advertising to sympathetic media and withholding it from others.

Di Tella noted in our conversation that advertising revenues are only the most obvious and trackable form of government transfers to media. There are no doubt many other ways an Argentine administration can play financial favorites with a news organization.

More government money = less coverage of corruption

Their analysis found a “huge correlation” between, in any given month, how much money went to a newspaper and how much corruption coverage appeared on its front page. For example, if the government ad revenue in a month increased by one standard deviation — around $70,000 U.S. — corruption coverage would decrease by roughly half of a front page.

They also, in periods where newspapers were getting more money from the government, they produced fewer corruption scoops of their own and covered fewer of the scoops produced by other newspapers. (It should be noted here that the study only looked at the front pages of newspapers — so it’s possible rival papers were writing about the scandals uncovered by their peers. But if so, they were doing it on inside pages.)

Di Tella and Franceschelli also found that newspaper size was a notable buffer against the advertising-corruption connection. Corruption coverage in the larger newspapers (Clarín and La Nación) were less sensitive to changes in government advertising than coverage in the smaller newspapers. That would seem to back up the argument that a media world with a few larger players could have at least one advantage over a world of many smaller players. (Of course, there are lots of advantages in the other direction too.)

Lessons from the data

It should be noted that the evidence shows correlation, not causation. In other words, it’s not clear that more government money leads to less corruption coverage, or that less corruption coverage leads to more government money. But Di Tella said that, from his perspective, the difference isn’t particularly important, since either timing scenario indicates a non-independent press. He said the evidence they gathered seemed to support newspapers reacting to government money, not the other way around — but that the evidence on that point wasn’t as clear as their other findings.

The question that came to my mind when I saw the paper was whether ideology might be a confounding factor here. Say a conservative government came to power. It might choose to funnel more money to a conservative paper. And the conservative paper could choose to write fewer corruption articles about its favored government. Both could happen at the same time, but be independently driven by ideology, not cash payments.

But the study takes that into account by, for instance, tracking a particular newspaper’s coverage within a particular administration. Even when a liberal paper is covering a liberal government, month-by-month corruption coverage goes up or down as government ad payments go up or down. In fact, the data showed that government dollars were nearly five times as powerful in determining corruption coverage as the ideological proximity between newspaper and government decreased.

Di Tella told me his report should not be misinterpreted as saying that there’s no appropriate role for government funding in the news media. He sees the problem as the wide discretion Argentine governments have to dole out money as they see fit. If payments were determined by, say, a neutral formula based on circulation — or if they were set in stone far enough in advance that they couldn’t be influenced by government whim — many of the negative effects could go away.

If you’re a hard-nosed reporter looking for the bright side in all this data, it’s that the analysis also found very real rewards for corruption coverage among the newspapers’ audiences. One extra full front-page worth of corruption coverage a month was associated with a nearly 8 percent increase in circulation. So cutting back on corruption stories seems to lead to less circulation revenue — even if it’s associated with extra government money coming in.

Stop work in states owing salary – NUT | Nigeria News Today. Your online Nigerian Newspaper f

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has restated its position that the teachers in 10 states that are still owing salary arrears should not resume work until all arrears were paid.

Dr Mike Ike-Ene, General-Secretary of the union, spoke on the directive in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.

Ike-Ene said that 10 out of 36 states still owed teachers several months of salary arrears in spite of the Paris Club Refund given to states by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He listed the states to include; Abia, Adamawa, Bayelsa, Benue, Delta, Ekiti, Kogi, Ondo, Kwara and Taraba, describing them as chronic debtors as far as teachers’ salaries are concerned.

According to him, Abia owes primary school teachers four months and secondary school teachers one month, Adamawa; two months to primary school teachers and one month to secondary.

“Others are Bayelsa; seven and half months to primary school teachers and four and half months to secondary, Benue owes 12 months to primary school teachers and seven months to secondary.

“Ekiti owes eight months to primary school teachers and five months to secondary, Kogi; three months to primary school teachers and three months to secondary.

“Taraba; six months to primary school teachers, Delta; four months to primary school and one month to secondary. Kwara and Ondo owe teachers three and four months’ salary arrears of 2016 respectively,’’ he explained.

Ike-Ene said that the union has directed its members in the affected states, especially the primary school teachers not to resume work until all the arrears were cleared.

He also said that NUT had in 2017, appealed to the governors concerned to use the period of the Christmas holiday to clear all the arrears, but yet some still failed to do so.

Newsmen report that President Muhammadu Buhari had in 2017, advised state governors to use the Paris Club Refund to liquidate any form of arrears they owe workers.

President Buhari declines assents to Police Fund bill, two others | Nigeria News Today. Your online Nigerian Newspaper f

President Muhammadu Buhari has declined assent to Police Fund bill, Chartered Institute of Management and Nigeria Council of Social works bills.

A letter addressed to the Senate President and which was read by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over Tuesday’s plenary stated that those bills were ambiguous, hence, their assents would be withheld.

Buhari futher explained that Police Fund bills has failed to stipulate sources of funds it intends to use in funding the Police equipment, adding that the proposed funds in the said bill belong to 37 states of the federation, the Federal Capital Territory and the 774 Local Government Areas of the country.

He said assenting to the bill would conflict the provisions of the 1999 constitution as amended.

“The proposed funds to be used belongs to the 36 States of the federation, the Federal Capital Territory and 774 Local Government Areas”, the President said.

Plateau United have reclaimed top spot in the Nigeria Professional Football League table following their convincing 3-0 win against Katsina United at the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos on matchday 19 on Wednesday.

A goal each from Reuben Bala,  Kabiru Umar and Jimmy Ambrose in the seventh, 47th and 85th minutes respectively earned the Jos' side the big win.

Plateau United now have 34 points but with two games in hand.

At the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, MFM FC continued their poor away form as they were beaten 2-0 by Akwa United.

Akwa United opened scoring in the 18th minute through Alhassan Ibrahim and doubled their lead in the 31st minute this time through Ubong Friday.
With the defeat, MFM have now lost six of their last seven away games.

In Maiduguri, El-Kanemi Warriors continued their impressive home record with a hard-fought 1-0 win against ABS.

The hero for El Kanemi was Samuel Mathias who scored in the 41st minute.

Enyimba continued their steady climb in the league table with a slim 1-0 home win against Remo Stars.

The Elephant's goal was scored by Stephen Chukwude in the 41st minute.

In Nnewi, 10-man Shooting Stars could not hold an early lead as FC IfeanyiUbah fought back to win 2-1.

Shooting Stars looked to be heading for an unlikely win after they took the lead on 21 minutes thanks to SundayFaleye.

But in the 58th minute, IfeanyiUbah drew level after Godwin Obaje converted from the penalty spot following a foul by Samuel Olabisi on Pascal Seka.

Olabisi was sent off for the foul on Seka.

With five minutes left, IfeanyiUbah were awarded another penalty for a handball inside the box by a Shooting Stars player which Obaje once against stepped up to convert.

And in Minna, former NPFL champions Kano Pillars suffered their third straight defeat after going down 1-0 to Niger Tornadoes.

Ebenezer Odeyemi grabbed the only goal of the game to return Tornadoes to winning ways after losing their last tie away to Shooting Stars.

In other matchday 19 results, a hat-trick from Anthony Okpotu sealed a 3-1 home win against Sunshine Stars, while Abia Warriors defeated visiting Wikki Tourists 2-0.

NPFL Matchday 19 results:

Enyimba 1 vs 0 Remo Stars

Plateau United 3 vs 0 Katsina United

Akwa United 2 vs 0 MFM FC

Niger Tornadoes 1 vs 0 Kano Pillars

IfeanyiUbah 2 vs 1 Shooting Stars

Lobi Stars 3 vs 1 Sunshine Stars

El Kanemi Warriors 1 vs 0 ABS

Abia Warriors 2 vs 0 Wikki Tourists

Thunder Thighs Dinosaur Fossil Discovered Near Moab

What's New — By julietrevelyan on February 24, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Apparently, having thunder thighs might not be all that bad. Not, that is, if you were a dinosaur that needed to charge across the landscape in a New York minute, propelled by your massive thighs, or deliver a lethal kick to opponents or prey.

The recent Brontomerus mcintoshi discovery lends yet more information to paleontologists about these ancient, extinct giants. Two sets of bones, adult and juvenile, were uncovered in 1994 in a previously-looted quarry near Moab. Until researchers noticed the unusually large thigh bones, the specimens just hung out in museum storage.

This entire area is famous for its dinosaur fossil remains. The serious aridity of this high desert contributes to the preservation of the tens of millions of years old creatures.

Legends of Maui

What's New — By keithdevey on April 13, 2011 at 4:13 am

There is a famous song by beloved Hawaiian musician Israel Kamakawiwo’ole titled Hawaiian Super Man.  It tells of the heroic acts of a boy name Maui, a mischievous boy that was the youngest of five brothers.  I thought for this blog post I would dive a little deeper into the legend of Maui and this “Hawaiian Super Man” that Bruddah Iz sings about. (*Precursor: I am not a cultural historian, so forgive me if some of my findings are slightly off.)

Upon my research, it appears that Maui is actually an ancient demi-god recognized by countless Polynesian cultures and Pacific Islands, not just in Hawaiian mythology.  References to Maui’s acts appear to be seen in New Zealand tales, Fiji folklore, and even Samoa.

From my findings, it seems that two courageous acts stand out in Maui’s past.  First, he was said to fished out a chain of islands from the oceans depths with a special hook that he had made (of course, different cultures believe he fished out different island chains). Second, Maui was believed to have created a lasso out of coconut husk and wrangled the morning sun, as to slow down the sun’s daily journey across the sky, so there would be more hours of sunlight each day.   This battle with the sun occurred at the summit of Haleakala (the tallest volcano on the island of Maui), which literally translates to “house of the rising sun”.

A simple search on Google will yield countless different versions of the legend of Maui, so I recommend just listening to Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s song for his re-telling.

Happy Birthday Mom

I celebrated my mom's birthday today.  She would have been 68.  Would have been.  I can easily can stuck in this detail.  Her absence is felt daily, even more so since Bean.  I feel like I'm an entirely different person now and I wish that I had the opportunity to pester my mom with questions about milestones, toddler feedings and the virtual nine zillion other things I worry about daily since becoming a mom.  But I don't have a mom.  I have Google and that really isn't the same thing.

On this particular day I found myself alone with Bean.  My plans for the day fell through and I had absolutely nothing pressing (unless you count  the 16 loads of laundry, which I didn't).  I was laying on the floor building blocks and Bean had such a grin on her face that I pulled her close to me and kissed her.  She didn't squirm away or try to wiggle out of my embrace, but she kind of leaned in and laughed.  In that moment, I thought that my mom had held me once like this too.  My mom had kissed my own head just to smell the lingering smell of Johnson's baby wash.  My mom had read Goodnight Moon to me over and over again as I had done for Bean minutes earlier.  My mom had danced with me and sang to me and now I was doing them with own daughter.

I still miss my mom, and that's okay.  So much of her is in me and I'm grateful for the time that I did spend with her.  Instead of being sad on her birthday and missing her, I thought I would celebrate her birthday by having an amazing day with my own daughter.  Bean and I had a New York City adventure.  I spent the day telling her stories of mom.  We went for a run in the park, played in three different playgrounds, saw the tree at Rockefeller center, lit a candle at St. Patrick's cathedral and I even managed five loads of laundry.

Mom would be proud.

Tocotrienol is An Important Form of Vitamin E For Your Health

Tocotrienols are one of two types of vitamin E (along with tocopherol). There are four natural forms known as alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta. Plant oils, particularly palm, rice bran, palm kernel and coconuts oils, are rich sources of it, while most vegetables oils contain virtually none.

They are fat-soluble substances with strong antioxidant properties. They are also able to reduce cholesterol levels, fight infections, and boost the immune system. They may also be able to reduce the risk of artherosclerosis.

For years, many vitamin E supplements contained only alpha-tocopherol because it was believed to be the most potent component of the vitamin. Studies now suggest that tocotrienals may have even more significant antioxidant effects than tocopherols as well as other unique properties.

These two families of substances have similar molecular structure, making them strong antioxidants, but tocotrienals may be more useful in lowering cholesterol levels and protecting against cardiovascular disease.

The structural difference of the tocotrienal molecule, particularly that of gamma-tocotrienol, is thought to be able to suppress an enzyme involved in cholesterol production. Using it may be necessary to obtain the heart-protective benefits of vitamin E.

Quality Supplement

While all eight components of vitamin E are present in foods, supplements may contain only alpha-tocopherol. With the recent attention to tocotrienals, more and more manufacturers are adding it to vitamin E supplements. For maximum effectiveness, supplements should contain both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Xtend Life Total Balance formula is one product that contains both.

Xtend Life Total Balance was formulated with nutrients and supplements that protect against degeneration of cells in the body’s essential organs and in the brain.

Available in unisex, women’s and men’s formulas, Xtend Life Total Balance contains natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) and tocotrienals, as well as over 70 powerful nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, enzymes and other supplements, making it one of the most comprehensive supplement formulas on the market today.

Drugs: The Rebellion in Cartagena

Carolyn Kaster/AP Images
President Obama with the Colombian singer Shakira and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in Cartagena, where he was attending the Summit of the Americas, at which leaders openly discussed the legalization of drugs for the first time, April 15,2012

A couple of decades ago, perhaps, a discussion of the war on drugs declared by Richard Nixon back in 1973 could reasonably have centered on whether eradication of narcotic-producing crops and the violent extermination of drug-trafficking groups was the way to rescue the young and vulnerable from the threat of addiction. It was the existence of addicts, after all, and the desire to avoid creating more of them, that justified the entire notion of drug prohibition. But the startling, unprogrammed, and rebellious discussion about drugs that took place among hemispheric leaders in April at a summit in Cartagena, Colombia, barely mentioned addiction, because it’s too late for that. The discussion that for the first time in forty years challenged the United States’ dominance on drug issues focused urgently instead on the ways that the financial health, political stability, and national security of virtually every country in the Americas has been undermined by the drug trade.

It is not the kind of discussion President Barack Obama might have been expecting only weeks before the summit started. He is enormously popular abroad and particularly so in places like Cartagena, where a large black population claims him as one of their own. And no hemispheric meeting has ever strayed from the official US line on drug combat. But for the first time the leaders at the summit openly debated—although behind closed doors—whether the best way to stop the rolling disaster was an end to the US-sponsored and -dictated war on drugs, and at least partial legalization, or regulation, of the drug trade.

The very word “legalization” has been taboo for so long that it was a shock to hear it mentioned as a sensible option by unimpeachable allies of the United States like Juan Manuel Santos, president of the host country; President Otto Pérez Molina of Guatemala; and Laura Chinchilla, president of the normally low-profile and peaceful nation of Costa Rica. Several presidents, notably Peru’s Ollanta Humala, were strongly opposed to any softening of approach, but it was only Obama’s opposition that carried weight. And it was a foregone conclusion that he would not deviate from the standard position that legalization is unthinkable; it is, after all, an election year.

The official response to whatever would get said in Cartagena was made clear in the days before the meeting by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Vice President Joseph Biden, and lastly by Obama himself. “The United States is not going to legalize or decriminalize drugs,” the president told a consortium of Latin newspapers the day before the summit, “because doing so would have serious negative consequences, in…

October 4, 2017: New York State Bar Association Urges Study In Wake Of Las Vegas Shooting

The New York State Bar Association joins the entire nation and legal community in mourning the victims of the Las Vegas shooting.

“We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to everyone whose lives have been devastated by this despicable act of violence,” said State Bar President Sharon Stern Gerstman. “It is time to seriously consider how best to end the scourge of gun violence, using the significant regulatory tools that remain available under the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case.”

The State Bar has a long history of contributing thoughtful analysis to matters of pressing public concern. Though gun control is a polarizing issue, the Bar Association agrees that we must find ways to reduce the violence.

Since 1996, federal law has prevented the government from collecting data on gun violence. The State Bar has argued that without impartial, statistical data about the causes and impacts of gun violence, the nation cannot make informed policy decisions that keep Americans safer and protect gun owners’ rights.

The Association remains committed in supporting bi-partisan federal legislation that would allow the Centers for Disease Control to study the intersection of violent behavior and guns, and to identify evidence-based strategies for keeping guns out of the hands of violent people.

The State Bar’s Task Force on Gun Violence was created in early 2013 in the wake of several mass shootings and included members with a variety of views on the issue. They all agreed that there was a need for the government to collect statistical data on gun violence.

The task force’s report, Understanding the Second Amendment, Gun Regulation in America Today and Yesterday, can be downloaded for free at http://www.nysba.org/2ndamendment/.

Since 1876, the New York State Bar Association helps shape the development of law, educates and informs the legal profession and the public, and champions the rights of New Yorkers through advocacy and guidance in our communities.

Hundreds of documents briefing new Government ministers on key policies have been released. Herald journalists have been analysing the Briefings to Incoming Ministers (Bims). Here we look at Social Housing.

The cost

State housing agencies said the new Government's plan to increase its social housing supply by 1000 a year could impact the cost and speed at which it happens.

The statement was made in one the briefing papers to the incoming minister, Phil Twyford, compiled by the five agencies with roles in state and social housing, who also called for a meeting to discuss his priorities.

"Your approach to increasing and modernising state and social housing will have an impact on the cost of new supply and the speed at which it can be secured," it wrote.

"There are significant cost implications to new state/social housing supply."

The briefing paper (BIM), titled Housing and Urban Development, gave an overview of the state and social housing sector - including emergency and transitional housing.

It was put together by the five agencies with roles in the sector, including the Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Housing New Zealand, Te Puni Kokiri and treasury.

A separate briefing paper on the overall housing programme compiled by MBIE, MSD, Treasury and HNZ showed the cost of building 1,000 social houses a year would be about $100 to $180m a year.

Briefings to incoming ministers: The highlights

The agencies called for a meeting to discuss whether its existing target of 6400 by 2020 should be revised in light of "increasing demand and your priorities".

It also labelled the need to identify priorities for the 2018 budget as a high priority and initial advice on this needed to be made by November.

"Officials would like to discuss your views on an appropriate level of supply and whether you would like to seek a greater level of supply from HNZC than currently proposed, as well as other options for new supply, including partnerships with community housing providers, local government and iwi.

Current stock and demand

Twyford has pledged the Government would aim to build a minimum of 1000 state/social houses per year until demand is met.

Currently the report showed state and social housing funded by central government only accounted for around 4 per cent of the total residential housing market in New Zealand and around 11 per cent of the rental market and is very costly.

The report showed there was a total of 66,187 social houses across New Zealand, of which 61,313 were owned or leased by HNZ. The remaining were owned by registered community housing providers.

MSD also planned to buy more homes to increase the number of social houses to 72,000 by June 2020.

Meanwhile the social housing register grew 27 per cent in the year to September and 72 per cent in the last two years, with Auckland accounting for the majority of applicants.

At the end of September there were 5844 on the housing register, up from 4602 in 2016 and 3399 in September 2015.

What's driving demand

The briefing paper acknowledged demand was increasing rapidly, "driven significantly by declining housing affordability and a shortage of affordable housing for private rental or ownership.

"Other social factors also contribute to people's ability to access or sustain housing in the private market, such as addiction issues, mental health conditions and having a history of offending.

"Increasingly clients presenting in need of emergency and state/social housing have complex needs not met by other parts of the social and justice sectors."

Main reasons for applying for state housing were reported to the agencies as unsuitable housing and homelessness.

Single adults made up 47 per cent of those on the social housing register, followed by single adult with children, 35 per cent.

Future solutions

The BIM on housing suggested a solution to the increased pressures could be helped by addressing the shortfall of housing in the private market to ensure the housing supply responds effectively to demand.

It said growing need for housing assistance cannot be effectively addressed without policy changes to increase the supply of affordable housing for both ownership and private rental.

However, it acknowledged this would take time and in the meantime there was a greater need for government intervention - including "an increase in the level of state/social and emergency housing in the short to medium term".

The report also suggested changes to housing subsidies could offer an effective safety net for those on the lowest incomes and said the MSD could provide further advice on this.

A delicate balance

Meanwhile, in its own separate BIM, HNZ has painted a picture of how demand for social housing is putting pressure on its services.

It has identified a need for a long term sustainable financial strategy as it grapples with this increased need for homes.

In the state housing agency's briefing to the new housing minister Phil Twyford released today it said rents alone were not sufficient to cover its operating costs "let alone costs of land, and building".

The briefing paper (BIM) dated October 2017 gave an overview of its work to date and its targets for the future.

To date the agency said it had managed to keep the financial books balanced through a number of strategies including targeted sales in poorer performing areas and intensification of land use, particularly in Auckland.

However, it said as things change in particular with the increase of supply of state housing it was crucial it developed a long-term financial strategy.

Building capabilities

As part of the BIM the agency unveiled how over the next 20 years it planned to renovate or rebuild 45,500 homes, with a target to reducing the cost of building while maintaining quality.

Strategies to reduce cost included building at higher densities, developing standard designs, and pre-fab builds as well as negotiating better labour costs from builders.

Already it had a total of 9,351 properties that were "in the pipeline" at various stages of development - of these 66 per cent, 6168, would be HNZ owned homes.

As well as the physical builds, HNZ officials identified its desire to move beyond just providing a roof over its tenants heads to helping with the bigger social picture and providing inbuilt social support services to help them on the path to "housing independence".

"Our tenants are some of the most vulnerable people in the country and the proportion with high and complex needs is increasing."

One of its already implemented strategies included working on a trial to support 1,000 tenants in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch stay in their tenancies.

It said further exploration was needed around the shape of the social housing sector, how to fund the growing costs of social housing tenants, whether renting to non-social housing tenants could be an option and greater social support services through HNZ and potential partner agencies.

Breakthrough in ‘wonder’ materials paves way for flexible tech

17.02.2017 | University of Warwick | www2.warwick.ac.uk

Gadgets are set to become flexible, highly efficient and much smaller, following a breakthrough in measuring two-dimensional ‘wonder’ materials by the University of Warwick.

Dr Neil Wilson in the Department of Physics has developed a new technique to measure the electronic structures of stacks of two-dimensional materials – flat, atomically thin, highly conductive, and extremely strong materials – for the first time.

Flexible electronics

Multiple stacked layers of 2D materials – known as heterostructures – create highly efficient optoelectronic devices with ultrafast electrical charge, which can be used in nano-circuits, and are stronger than materials used in traditional circuits. Various heterostructures have been created using different 2D materials – and stacking different combinations of 2D materials creates new materials with new properties.

Dr Wilson’s technique measures the electronic properties of each layer in a stack, allowing researchers to establish the optimal structure for the fastest, most efficient transfer of electrical energy.

Woodman Institute Museum

February 16, 2010 — The Woodman Institute Museum in Dover, NH, is one of those places to go when you want to see a polar bear, Abraham Lincoln's saddle, and a Nazi flag all in one day. The contents of this three-story historical home are exactly what I would have purchased had I been bequeathed the large sum of money that jumpstarted this institution 100 years ago. For more information, check out their website.

One of the last saddles that Abraham Lincoln used. Lincoln had a lot of lasts.

“Ohmyboot” is the English for “oh mio stivale”. “Ohmyboot” is a tribute to the charisma and skill of millions of Italians who shaped our country throughout the centuries. “Ohmyboot” is an exclamation that comes to life as soon as it appears on fabric. “Oh my boot” (OMB) is a clothing brand.

The concept…

The stylistic trait of this clothing line, based on vector graphics, is very original. It recalls the 70’s pop culture with a mix between the “avant-garde” and the “digital art”. Each item of clothing is made of pure cotton and is exclusively printed and realized in Italy by our experts. All graphics are unique and every t-shirt, accessory and gadget is made in Italy. Thanks to OMB we will be able to spread a message that goes beyond the borders of the so called “bel Paese”.

About Us

Fruity/aromatic - OLD VINES TORRONTES, El Esteco. Salta, Argentina

2016 OLD VINES TORRONTES, El Esteco. Salta, Argentina

Alcohol Percentage: 13.5%
Grape Variety: Torrontes vines dating back to the 19th century. Hand harvested and fermented with wild yeast in a concrete egg
Producer: From the website of their UK agent:
"Among the Calchaquí Valley’s lush vegetation, rivers and rocky mountains, there emerges, unexpectedly, a stretch of desert. At an altitude of 1,800 metres, with its ever-present sunshine and ideal temperature range - hot days and cool nights - the environment is perfect for the cultivation of vines.
It is at the heart of this valley where El Esteco stands, with 1,000 acres of vineyards across this unique region. French immigrants David and Salvador Michel founded the winery in 1892, taking advantage of this special region to produce distinctive and elegant high- end wines, with great concentration of colour, deep aromas and well-defined flavours. Their determination has certainly paid off; El Esteco is the leading winery in Salta."
Old Bridge Rating: Most Torrontes is light and 'pretty'. This is highly aromatic, weighty and serious. Packed with flavour - it needs lightly spiced food to do it full justice
Press Reviews: 95/100 from Tim Atkin - "my wine discovery of the year"
