Hottest & Coldest Luxury Housing Markets in the World

Prices boil over in some cities and hot air hisses out of others.

So how is the luxury housing market doing in the top cities around the world, as they’re facing “significant risks ahead in the form of rising debt, inflation, and greater housing market regulation?”

Knight Frank’s Prime Global Cities Index rose 4.8% over the 12 months through March, compared to a year earlier. But the index averaged out the drama playing out on the ground: In some cities, luxury  prices skyrocketed, and in other cities prices dropped sharply.

Seoul ranked number one on the index, with luxury house prices soaring 25% over the 12 months through March. Over the past six months alone, prices soared 20%, despite efforts by authorities to tamp down on these price surges, according to Knight Frank:

Across a large part of the city new macro prudential measures, including new taxes for owners of multiple properties and tighter lending restrictions, are cooling growth, but the prime area of Gangnam is still seeing strong speculative activity.

The ranking of the cities in the index is figured not in terms of absolute prices, but in terms of price growth. The index considers “luxury” those sales whose prices are in the top 5% in that market, except in US cities, where the index uses the “High Tier” index from CaseShiller, and in Tokyo where home sales over ¥100 million are deemed luxury.

The top two US cities are San Francisco and Los Angeles, ranked in 8th and 11th place respectively with price growth rates of 9% and 8% for the past 12 months. Luxury prices are barely ticking up in Miami and are stalling in New York.

Though overall home prices in Sydney and Melbourne are now down from a year ago, according to CoreLogic, as hot air is hissing out of their historic housing bubbles, prices at the luxury end of the market still increased 8.7% and 8.3% respectively – “with supply constraints supporting prime prices.” These price surges put both cities in the top ten.

The opposite is happening in super-bubble city Vancouver, where the lower end of the market (condos) is still seeing significant price increases, while the luxury market has just now begun to deflate, with prices down 7.6% over the past six month.

London’s famed oligarch-driven luxury housing boom is wheezing, with prices down 1.1% over the past 12 months, which is a terrible embarrassment. Knight Frank is looking for the silver lining: “In London, while the market remains sensitive to political events there is a sense of (relative) stability being restored.”

At the bottom of the list of 43 top cities is Stockholm, where luxury house prices dropped 8.4% over the past 12 months, with price drops accelerating: over the past six months along, prices have fallen 9%.

The table below shows the top 43 cities, ranked by changes in luxury home prices. The bottom 11 cities have experienced price declines over the past 12 months. The list also shows price changes over the past six and three months.

Rank by % price change  City 12-month % change 6-month % change 3-month % change

    I am constantly shocked by the ridiculous rise in house prices in Sydney & Melbourne. I live there and thus can comment. australia is nobody in the middle of nowhere. Its great claim to fame is as a big hole in the ground for the asian raw materials markets. It might also have managed to accidentally foist a few actors onto Hollywood. Manufacturing and R&D has been successfully offshored/destroyed by successive governments and much red tape has been deployed against any attempts at innovation. To think that the local housing stock can be reasonably valued at anything comparable to that in the US or the big centers such as London or Berlin is completely ludicrous. If one is sensible, one gets out as soon as possible (Atlassian) as simply nothing happens here except the government driven national house price speculation game. The government used to tout it as the “clever country” but ironically the reverse is actually the case. Unless one is a sports idiot (jock), one has no cultural value at all. Thus innovation and the arts and science is actively discouraged here and is the reason why many need to leave to further their knowledge based careers in a more conducive environment. I have worked for US companies here (Bridge Financial & Dunn & Bradstreet) and the difference in corporate culture is staggering. It is truly Hicksville here. We are currently in the middle of the “mother of all housing bubbles” and if “jingle mail” were allowed here, we would be seeing a very big crash. However, here the banks can pursue you even to the depths of hell to get their funds back. So I am intrigued as to how it will eventually pop. Of course, many will vehemently disagree with me and that is their right.

    • Lee says:

      Actually William, I’ve lived here for a little over 22 years and for the most part like it. It has its problems and they have become worse over time.

      It could be much better and in many ways was much better when we came.

      If someone comes to Australia now one would find a much different country. It is more expensive in all respects and as you indicate housing is ridiculous.

      Years ago Sydney and Melbourne were expensive, but other parts of the country were cheap. Toorak and Brighton were always the tony places to live in Melbourne and the prices matched their reputation.

      What has changed is the huge inflow of people into the country. As I posted in another article the population of Melbourne has gone from around 3 million to just under/over 5 million since we came here.

      Sydney – I don’t know and I don’t care. (It has much better beaches and views around the bay and coastal areas than Melbourne, but that is about it!!)

      Demand for RE has surged as people moved here. It is a simple case of supply (not enough) and demand (huge). Look at the price of RE in areas where the demand from Chinese arrivals is high: prices have gone through the roof.

      Glen and Mount Waverley and Box Hill have seen prices soar by 10 times as the Chinese moved in. When we came to Melbourne we looked at the Glen Waverley area, but the houses were generally old, small, and on small lots. Transport wasn’t that good either. Schools were ok, but not that great either at that time.

      Schools became better and more Chinese moved in pushing up demand for houses in the Glen Waverley school district area. It became a mecca for Chinese moving to Melbourne and the prices of houses soared.

      For a family moving into those areas it made/makes economic sense to plonk down a high price for a house to get their kids into the good public schools for ‘free’ rather than pay out A$25,000 or more a year in tuition per child to one of the ritzy private schools. When the kids finish school they still have an asset to sell at a high price (probably, maybe??)

      When I moved here the car fleet was old, crappy, and you rarely saw many imported ‘luxury’ cars in areas outside the tony suburbs. Now they are all over the place.

      The country has become ‘rich’, but unfortunately many people here are still not well off.

      Australia has a much better medical system than in many other countries and is good from a cost point of view for many things. Emergency care is free and in general you won’t go bankrupt from getting sick.

      The bad part of the system is that if you do get sick and have to wait for public specialist care or a hospital operation for routine non-life threatening illnesses, you’ll be waiting a long time. Dental care isn’t covered under the public system and is very costly unless you are a special case.

      Schools used to be decent, but in general over time the public school system has been dumbed down. The same problems that have infected schools in the USA have made it over here. There are some really good public schools, but those are the exception.

      Private schools? The really exclusive ones are priced at ridiculous levels. Catholic and other church related schools offer very good value for money and are still reasonable in terms of tuition and values.

      Crime and safety? It used to be much better, but as the population has increased and people from certain areas have moved here the amount of crime has increased. We never heard of car jackings and home invasions on a regular basis until a few years ago.

      Gangs were around in the bigger cities, but generally stayed in certain areas. Now the entire Melbourne area seems to infected with them. The drug problem is getting worse as well, but nothing like in the USA.

      Politicians? Well, what can one say? They are politicians. Overall much better than the crap in the USA especially the idiots that show up in the US House and Senate.

      Unfortunately, the way the system works here we’ll never have an outsider to shake up and change things that need to be changed.

      The Gillard, Rudd, and Turnbull governments have been big disappointments. They wrecked the fiscal position of the Federal government and ran up huge debts.

      Weather? Generally pretty good for the most part. Much better than those other places that the Chinese like in Canada such as Toronto and Vancouver!!

      Roads and Trains: pathetic and getting worse.

      However, if you can make it to retirement and have your own home Australia is a good place to retire – much better than the USA.

      And maybe, just maybe one day the RE market will eventually have a crash and the doomsayers will be proven right after being wrong for the past what 20 or 30 years???

      In any event we’ll be staying here in nowhere, hicksville, Australia and enjoy our life as we grow old.

      • Lee says:

        Just got back from taking the mutt for a walk. The latest house to go on the market in our area now has a sold sign on it.

        About two weeks from listing to under contract to sold. A cash sale.

        The closest house now on the market from us is about 500 meters away and is listed at A$1.8 million – it is on the main road and looking for a developer to do a knockdown and build townhouses.

        That area of the market is a little slow.

        Another house further away took about three weeks to go under contract. Was listed for $1.25 million and will have to see what the final price was.

        No other houses within 1.5 kilometers of us for sale now.

        The only thing I do notice is that it is more difficult to find out what houses were sold for. Often prices are not displayed and it takes a little work to find out. The other strange thing is that there are houses being sold, but they don’t show up on the equivalent of what you Yanks call the MLS.

        For sale sign goes up, sold sign goes up, no advertising, no prices, and the new people move in………………….

      • John says:

        Amazing how unlimited fiat currency with no inherent value can create temporary booms that nobody can understand isn’t it?

        • jo says:

          Yes John!
          Its pretty fn obvious!!
          I’m 6th generation aussie(indigenous non abo white fella), grew up in the bush, lived in Melbourne & Brisbane etc.
          Supply & demand??? OF & FOR credit via government policy!!
          Melbourne was always an awesome city to live in despiter being in the wrong spot with all the serious crims, while the white shoe brigade lived in Sydney with the corrupt Canberra pollies.
          RE agents via banks stopped advertising distressed properties as such, years ago.
          This “pop” will break all who were to greedy to become their own central bank.

    • Lee says:

      Here are a couple of article about Sydney RE. Sydney and NSW have always been in ‘a class of their own’ when it comes to price.

      First, overall it appears that the general market in Sydney is having problems, but the top end of town isn’t. Top end means $10 million plus.

      Second, prices there have always been high. The second article talks about prices in an area in 2005. Even back then prices were in the A$1 plus range for properties outside the city, but near he beach with views. Now 13 years later the price there has more than doubled to A$2.5 million.

      Third, Melbourne clearance rates have also fallen to just over 60% so the market is slowing down here as well. I’d have to check the rates from the same time a year ago to see how much it has changed, but probably not much as it is again entering one of those quiet periods just before winter starts in a few weeks.

      My little area has never really used auctions to sell most properties and the results are usually no sale anyway. Those that do try and sell at auction are usually developer type properties or the higher end of the market A$2 million plus jobs where the clearance rate is about 50% or lower at auction. What happens it they usually get listed as a normal sale after auction and sell that way later.

      Sydney Auction rates:

      About Seaforth near Sydney:

      “Give or take a few minor blips, the median house price has followed an upward trajectory since 2005, when it was $1.015 million.

      The median house price is now $2.48 million, and for units it’s $1.45 million.”

      And about the upper end of town:

      “There are more buyers around at the moment in the $10 million range than in the $1 million to $2 million range,” said Alexander Phillips, of Phillips Pantzer Donnelley, who sold the Bronte designer residence of ASX general manager Grant Lovett and his wife Cheryl O’Neill this week for $11 million. ”

  2. Lee says:

    “and in Tokyo where home sales over ¥100 million are deemed luxury.”

    Starting at US$1 million is considered luxury? (Maybe a mistake in that number???????)

    You’ll pay more than US$1 million for a decent 2 bedroom condo in many buildings in Tokyo.

    I wouldn’t consider a house in Shinjuku on less than 200 square meters of land for around US$2.25 million really ‘luxury’.

    I’d suggest that for a ‘luxury’ house in Tokyo you’d have to make that 100 million into more like 1 billion yen at least.

    And just FYI, new stats out today show that lending for all types or residential RE in Oz has fallen.

    NSW is still leading the country in nutty house prices and Melbourne is still second.

    Guess the price of this house on mid north coast area of NSW:

  3. Rob says:

    London is definitely falling in the property price levels above say £750k inside M25 and £500k outside. Nothing dramatic just grinding steadily lower.

    Hong Kong should pop on Chinese tightening and HKMA letting HIBOR rise in line with Libor

  4. SimplyPut7 says:

    Easy credit is drying up in Toronto, under the new mortgage rules if a family makes 100k and has a down payment of 50k they could only look for a house that cost 400k.

    There are two problems with this: 1) no house sells for 400k in Toronto, very few condos sell for this price, 2) the median household income is only 75k which means most people don’t qualify to buy the 400k home.

    The shadow banking sector is still giving money but with some mortgage rates at over 9%, that’s not sustainable for very long.

  5. Rob says:

    You also have the myth of the all-cash buyer. I worked in a private bank and prime and super prime for rent were bought with max leverage and I suspected the deposits were borrowed in the home country anyway.

    If you look at mortage data (CML postcode data in the UK) you can see in the last 5 years some areas of London like Holland Park have seen mortgage debt increase 25% vs almost no new supply.

  6. blindfaith says:

    Cape Town….you must be pulling my leg. I’d call that place a time bomb.

    I have lived in many places that had charm and special interests such as an art community, theater, architecture, natural beauty, and wonderful locals Regular folks live there, make it a nice community to live in, and then can’t shut up about how wonderful it is. That opens the doors to the rich and bored. Soon they flock in, buy it up, make it just like the last place they escaped from and get bored again. Then the ‘got to rub shoulders with the rich’ crowd buys in at top dollar, have little to ‘share’ with the rich who own so now everyone is bored. So, before the word gets out, the rich sell and move on to the next place Conte Nast says is the new hot spot for charm, the arts, natural beauty, and wonderful locals.
    The city size doesn’t matter, there are ‘quaint boroughs’ even there.

    It is like ‘blight’ in reverse, except the place has become sterilized. And you can thank the Central Banks for this gift no matter where you are in this world.

  7. raxadian says:

    Did you know a lot of luxury houses for sale are horribly build?

    So that’s why I think, Condos are for idiots. If you have money get to build your own home. If you don’t then you don’t.

    And always talk to more than one guy about the house design.

  8. Rates says:

    I was just in Taipei last year and people were complaining about housing prices. It’s interesting that the time I visited marked some sort of a peak.

    It’s a very livable city. Wouldn’t mind living there if there’s a good job.

  9. jon says:

    Home prices are still not going down in USA despite touching the highs at least for the medium priced homes.
    In San Diego, a decent middle class home cost you close to a million dollar.

    • Frederick says:

      Depends on where you’re talking about In certain areas they are surely going down but NOT on the West coast evidently I look at Zillow all the time and notice a lot of houses have recently dropped their asking prices and still aren’t selling

  10. ewmayer says:

    As with movements in governments bonds of various durations, the contrast between the 3,6 and 12-month price changes is interesting here – still lots of bubbly price rises YoY, but if one averages the 3-month column figures (fraught, I know, due to the disparate total sizes of the various markets in question) one gets a 3-month average of a mere +0.4%, and if one excludes the outlier Seoul from that average, one gets a 3-month 42-city aggregate of +0.1, which is statistically indistinguishable from ‘unchanged’. One might suspect seasonality (e.g. ‘spring selling season’) to be factor in the 3-month stats as it is for (say) US housing-price stats, but since the list here consists of a decent mix of large metros in both the northern and southern hemispheres, that would seem to negate that aspect.

  11. Tom Stone says:

    Prices for luxury homes and estates in Western Sonoma County have just begun to fall.
    2/3 of the listing are above $1MM and more than 1/3 above $1.25 MM which is the beginning of the true high end.
    The market has slowed throughout the County, but it is most noticeable on the high end.
    More days on market, more price reductions and more inventory.
    Higher interest rates, the change in the tax laws and a whole lot less money from insurance companies than many expected…the percentage of those who can afford to rebuild homes in the sub $1MM price tiers is a lot lower than expected.
    If you have a level, ready to build lot you can go with one of Chistopherson’s five plans and get good quality at $270 per Sq Ft.
    Bids are running from there to $800 per Sq Ft.
    Materials prices are rising…

  12. Bobber says:

    I’m thankful I’m near retirement and won’t have to live in the big city anymore. There are some great second tier cities in the U.S. that still have houses going for $100-$150 per square foot. For $600k you can buy a very nice house. Think Midwest and South.

    • Rob says:

      Bobber what do you think about Miami and surrounding areas and the Bahamas?

      • Bobber says:

        I don’t know much about Miami, but it seems too big for me as a retirement location. I sense prices are high there too.

        Bahamas and other foreign locations sound interesting. It would be nice to experience a culture outside of the U.S. for a change where everything doesn’t evolve so much around quarterly EPS.

        • Rob says:

          Puerto rico is you move there has almost no taxes and must be cheap now. Peter Schiff spends the winter there.

      • Max Power says:

        Miami is the exception when it comes to affordability in the Southeast. Probably due to a it’s “coolness factor” (in a warm city :) and larger percentage of foreign buyers driving up demand as compared to just about every other larger (say 1.5mil pop & above) metro area in the Southeast.

        Despite recent housing costs increases, housing is still relatively affordable in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Nashville, etc.

    • Frederick says:

      True dat Raleigh NC being a perfect example There are thousands to choose from

  13. MC01 says:

    I am genuinely surprised prices have raised so little in Zurich. Perhaps due to the weak ChF part of the deals are settled in euro?

    Apart from inflation (which shows very well in the data about Geneva, where inflation is the only thing keeping an otherwise stagnating market slightly moving; and make no mistake about it: it’s biting just like the BNS intended) Zurich has become a very peculiar market.

    The stock of housing left vacant by fleeing Russians has been mostly used up by now and the city has become hot for three reasons.
    First and foremost, companies are migrating internally from other Cantons (such as Geneva or Ticino) to take advantage of fiscal incentives Zurich is offering.
    Second, some big multinational headquartered in or around Zurich are expanding their operations there. Takeda is probably the most active right now as she prepares to acquire Shire, whose mainland European operations will be moved from Zug to Zurich (albeit exactly when will be decided when the EU antitrust will give the green light).
    Third, Switzerland is just one of several European countries which are trying to steal of piece of action from Ireland in the airline/aircraft leasing business. The new subsidiary companies are mostly headquartered in Kloten, where the Zurich airport is located.

    Executives don’t like living in huts on the mountainside or deep into the woods. And besides that Kloten is a dreary place. They want to live in a big city with plenty of luxury/hipster places, just like Zurich. I’ve never understood that attitude (and my latest business trip confirmed to me I could never live in a big city, albeit I like the ready availability of good Asian food and good live music) but it’s their money and their company’s, so I let them be until I have to book a hotel in or near Zurich. Then I can become really rude.

    6% in a year, considering the wheeling and dealing, especially in luxury housing, is not much, especially if deals were sealed in rapidly devaluating ChF.
    Let’s just wait until the Takeda-Shire deal is closed and then we’ll see.

  14. IrishinAthens says:

    I have been watching the real estate market in the southern tier of NY state for a relative. In one county, only six pieces of real estate sold to date in 2018 and they were all under the accessed tax value by 40 to 60 percent. More are listed for sale below the appraisal value, but have been on the markets for a considerable amount of time. Many look like real estate flippers getting stung, one even took out a huge loan after buying a foreclosed property and in three months was in default with the property still in a shambles listed as a foreclosure again. Gives new definition to bank fraud.

    When you live in a state that believes everything should be free up to and including two years of college, the property owners get ripped off by paying inflated property taxes and then realize crushing dreams of seeing their nest egg dwindle when the house they live in has just been inflated for tax reasons that reflect nothing about the reality of the real estate market or prevailing wages for the area.

    And to think the worst is yet to come. Good luck NY, you voted in these socialist dummies.

  15. Gershon says:

    Rents have collapsed 12% in Queens. Is this a leading indicator of the impending implosion of Housing Bubble 2.0?

    • Frederick says:

      Collapsed 12% from an inflated bubbly price so what’s wrong with that? Still wouldn’t want to live in Queens unless it was Forest Hills maybe and that’s WAY out of my price range I lived in areas east of Manhattan for 60 years and I’m glad to be outta there

NBL Announce Women’s Development League Games tipping off 4 December

To cap off a big year for basketball, the Sal’s NBL has announced the dates for its newest competition – the women’s Development League.

Simply known as the D-League, the competition will feature four teams playing in three-day schedule this year, however a move to an eight-team extended league is expected in 2021.

The D-League will feature during the final three days of the currently running Sal’s NBL 18IN18 at Pulman Arena, south Auckland.

Competing teams include Tauranga City Coasters, Rotorua Lady Geysers, Northland Phoenix and Taranaki Thunder.

NBL general manager Justin Nelson is pleased to finally see the new competition get off the ground.

“The D-League was originally planned for mid-year with eight teams competing, but of course it’s be stop-go throughout 2020 and we’ve all had to wait patiently to get to where we are today,” said Nelson.

“This competition is a stepping stone to the Sal’s NBL and is another vital piece in the player pathway for our elite women. To have another forty-plus women on the court in early December playing under the NBL banner is incredibly important to what we are trying to build for the players.”

The D-League competition will see two games played on Friday 4 December, four games on Saturday 5 December, and then a Grand Final on Sunday 6 December.

All games will be played during the day ahead of the evening’s NBL game, and entry for all fans will be free.

In another coup for the NBL, the D-League Grand Final will be broadcast live on Sky Sport Select (2:30pm, Sunday December 6) as a curtain raiser to the 18IN18 Grand Final which tips off at 5pm that day.

“All going well, a return to a normal season in 2021 will see more than a hundred players participating in our women’s NBL and D-League competitions. You simply cannot overstate how important that is for the future of the Sky Sport Tall Ferns and New Zealand’s growing opportunities to win medals at international level,” added Nelson.

Platinum Homes Taranaki Thunder general manager Rebecca Langton is looking forward to seeing her team back on court.

"The opportunity to play in the D-League competition alongside our NBL women couldn't have come at a better time for the Platinum Homes Taranaki Thunder.  We had a successful campaign at the Schick 3x3 Cup with a final placing of 5th, well above our initial seeding of 10th, so the natural next step was to continue building on that result and to field a team in the D-League tournament."

"We are excited to be in a position where we can field a team of young and more experienced players.  This short tournament format has enabled players to commit to the team.  Players like Zoe Kensington, Jenna Kensington, and Vanessa Weir juggling jobs and babies, through to Raquel Sampson and Caitlin O'Connell being able to fit this in between NCEA exams - this format is ideal for our players.  We just had to be a part of it.  We acknowledge and appreciate the mahi gone in to making this happen for us."

Preview: Mercury vs. Sparks in midseason test

Los Angeles Sparks v Phoenix Mercury

Wednesday night’s WNBA headliner sees two Western Conference squads — the Phoenix Mercury (6-5) and Los Angeles Sparks (7-3) — do battle. Before that, the Atlanta Dream (2-9) and Washington Mystics (3-7) try to end their losing streaks, while the Dallas Wings (4-7) look to sustain flight against the Minnesota Lynx (7-3).

On the opening day of the 2020 season, two traditional titans of the WNBA’s Western Conference — the Los Angeles Sparks (7-3) and Phoenix Mercury (6-5) — met in a Saturday afternoon matinee matchup. However, the contest did not turn into a titanic tussle, with the gals from Hollywood instead cruising to an easy, undramatic victory, 99-76.

On Wednesday night at 10:00 p.m. ET, they meet for the second and final time this regular season.

In order to reverse the result of the first matchup, the Mercury must make two big changes. First, they have to take care of the ball, as their 27 turnovers juiced an already potent Sparks’ transition attack. As the season has progressed, Phoenix has cut down their turnovers, suggesting their opening day slipperiness was due to a lack of familiarity.

The Mercury’s second needed change also should be correctable — get Brittney Griner more involved. On opening day, Griner was brutal, unable to overcome early foul trouble as she scored a season-low eights points. Sunday, Griner flashed her dominance for the first time this season, taking it to the Dallas Wings’ undersized and experienced interior defenders to score a season-high 29 points on 70-percent shooting.

She must bring this same mindset against the Sparks, especially as she will encounter much stronger, more sophisticated defensive resistance. Despite Griner’s physical advantages, Nneka Ogumike has the smarts and savvy required to trouble BG. Candace Parker’s defense also has been on point this season, suggesting she will not hesitate to challenge Griner.

If Griner does not get going, Phoenix will need big-time shotmaking and playmaking from their guard trio of Diana Taurasi (who is questionable), Skylar Diggins-Smith and Bria Hartley. Since the three all rank in the top 10 in points and assists per game, they are more than capable of carrying the Mercury to a win.

However, the Sparks have a couple of advantages they can call on. First, their “Big Three” of Parker, Ogwumike and Chelsea Gray has been rock solid this season. Second, continuing a trend that began with their opening day contest against Phoenix, LA has gotten excellent production from their bench. Of late, Riquna Williams has been on fire. Throughout the season, Seimone Augustus has had her stroke working. Rookie Te’a Cooper also has served as an off-the-bench spark.

If the Sparks sprint to another win over their longtime Western Conference foes, they can solidify themselves as legitimate championship contenders. If the Mercury get the victory, they can begin to answer concerns about their playoff viability.

Atlanta Dream (2-9) vs. Washington Mystics (3-7)

Both of these struggling squads likely are happy to see a fellow struggler on the schedule. The Dream will aim to end their eight-game losing streak while the Mystics seek to escape their seven-game slide. The winner also should hope to establish some positive momentum, allowing them to enter the second-half of the season with a sense of optimism.

Dallas Wings (4-7) vs. Minnesota Lynx (7-3)

Arike Ogunbowale put on an explosive offensive exhibition on Sunday, leading the Wings to their most impressive win of the season. Even without their anchor in Sylvia Fowles, expect the defensive-minded Lynx, directed by head coach Cheryl Reeve, to make things more difficult for Ogunbowale.

Game Information

All games will be played at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL.

Atlanta Dream vs. Washington Mystics

When: Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 7:00 p.m. ET

How to watch: CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Washington

Key to the matchup: With Chennedy Carter sidelined, the Dream have struggled to generate consistent offense. Although they have shown flashes of some beautiful ball movement, they too frequently have stagnated in the half court, relying on hero-ball shots from Courtney Williams or Betnijah Laney. Dialing up some plays for Kalani Brown could give the Dream another option. Brown has the potential to be the potent offensive big that Atlanta has lacked. Against the undersized Mystics, she could feast. While her bout with COVID-19 and its after effects explains her limited playing time, extending Brown’s run (as long as she is ready) could help the Dream find some sustainable positives during this Carter-less time.

Dream injury report: Chennedy Carter (out, ankle)

Mystics injury report: Shey Peddy (questionable, hip), Kiara Leslie (questionable, ankle), Aerial Powers (out, hip)

Highlights: Kalani Brown’s senior season at Baylor provided a preview of her pro potential

Dallas Wings vs. Minnesota Lynx

When: Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET

How to watch: League Pass, Fox Sports Southwest Plus, Fox Sports North Plus

Key to the matchup: This season, Dallas head coach Brian Agler constantly has shuffled his starting lineups, starting a league-high 10 different players. Might the play of Marina Mabrey help Agler begin to settle on a more stable rotation? Sunday, in the first start of her career, she poured in a career-high 17 points, rekindling that Fighting Irish camaraderie with Arike Ogunbowale. Before that, she was plus-three in 31 minutes of action against the Seattle. Although less heralded than many of her teammates, Mabrey could establish herself as a valuable glue gal.

Wings injury report: Satou Sabally (out, back), Moriah Jefferson (out, hamstring)

Lynx injury report: Rachel Banham (questionable, hamstring), Sylvia Fowles (out indefinitely, calf)

Interview: ESPN’s Holly Rowe interviews Dallas’ dynamic duo from Notre Dame

Phoenix Mercury vs. Los Angeles Sparks

When: Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 10:00 p.m. ET

How to watch: Twitter, Fox Sports Arizona Plus, Spectrum Sportsnet

Key to the matchup: As noted above, the Sparks have received reliable contributions from their reserves. Outside of Bria Hartley, the Mercury’s bench players have been uneven, as epitomized by Shatori Walker-Kimbrough. Primarily coming off the bench, Walker-Kimbrough has been both spectacular and subpar. Seventeen- and 20-point performances on stellar shooting have been balanced by several scoreless duds. Varied minutes might explain Walker-Kimbrough’s up-and-down play. However, for the Mercury to reach their potential, they need her to become more consistent, regardless of the number of minutes she receives.

Mercury injury report: Diana Taurasi (questionable, oblique)

Sparks injury report: Tierra Ruffin-Pratt (questionable, ankle)

Highlight: SWK shows off the 3-point stroke that carried her to a career high

Whether sucking up large amounts of sawdust at once or when attached to a tool, static electricity always builds up on my shop vac hoses when the dust passes through. This leads to messes on the hose and other annoyances. It can make emptying the vacuum difficult too.

How do I stop this from happening?

Can I somehow ground the plastic hose to something? I don't understand electricity enough to know how to do this.

There are dust collection systems which are built with anti-static features at the collection point, hoses and tools. Festool is an example of such system where the hose and dust extractors work together to prevent static buildup.

In this system, there is no wire used but rather the hose itself is capable of conducting electricity since it's made from a "high-carbon plastic", so the tool is grounded via the hose to the extractor, which is then grounded to your electrical system.

  • This is the answer. After much experimentation today trying every permutation of ground points, wiring path, tape, etc that I could think of, I found nothing reliable. It seems it is just not possible, at least not in any way I can reasonably construct, to prevent static buildup on pvc. Antistatic plastics and other materials are the solution. – Jason C Nov 17 '15 at 1:11
  • 1
    Rockler sells carbon-laced antistatic hoses too. Half the price although you don't get to brag about your Festool hoses. – Jason C Nov 17 '15 at 1:30

Well, large dust collector systems will somegimes run a bare copper wire from one end of thd ductwork to the other, grounding one end, due to (apparently unnecessary) fear of static-ignited dust explosions; you could try domething like that and see if it helps. Presumably you'd want to use stranded wire for flexibility.

Please report back if you find something that works.

  • Research is suggesting it is futile. May have to spring for antistatic hoses instead (e.g. rockler.com/rockler-dust-right-2-1-2-in-anti-static-dust-hose). – Jason C Nov 16 '15 at 4:16
  • I was going to say that from what I'd read up on this previously you need to get the hoses with the wire wound through the middle for it to work properly, and anything else is a waste of time. – WhatEvil Nov 16 '15 at 8:49
  • @JasonC you can try a anti-static wriststrap people use for electronics, attach the other end to a ground to make sure the voltage potential difference between you and the tool doesn't get too high. – ratchet freak Nov 16 '15 at 10:51
  • @JasonC, I would second trying to get the bare copper wire inside the hoses. Wrapping the wire on the outside will do no good since the hose material is too good of an insulator, and you want to take care of the static charge where it originates, namely the interior of the hose. Either that or spray your sawdust with water before sucking it up ;-) – grfrazee Nov 16 '15 at 14:32
  • The thing is, it seems that it's the hose that builds up a charge from the friction, not the sawdust itself. So you need to create a path for the hose to discharge. But the kicker is that PVC is such a good insulator that any conductors you attach to the surface provide a discharge path only to the very tiny immediate vicinity of the conductor (or so I've read, but I will be experimenting). This is what defeats all these attempts. ... – Jason C Nov 16 '15 at 16:23

I solved the problem, temporarily, by wrapping the hose in bare copper wire and attaching the wire to the electrical ground for the power cord. Worked well until the copper wires gets unwrapped or broken. I have used the wrist bands with an alligator clip attached to electrical conduit. Works but a pain to use. I'm going to get the Rockler hose and see if it works.

Are We There Yet?

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”
Revelation 11:15 (NIV)

So, there I was – stuck in the early morning traffic queue. Road works had made the commute very slow and frustrating. I could see the first “countdown” sign for the next junction and I pondered whether walking the remaining distance would be faster than driving it. I knew that I would eventually arrive at the junction, but it did feel like it would take forever!

My mind drifted to another event that I often wonder about: the return of Jesus Christ. How long away is our Lord’s second advent? Doesn’t it sometimes feel as if we are crawling towards that time when Jesus is seen by the whole world? Why doesn’t God speed things up and usher in the peace and joy that we all look forward to?

Yet, my map of life tells me not to fret. We are all still approaching our desired destination, even if it feels as if it is taking forever. The Bible includes these encouraging words:

“‘Look, he is coming with the clouds,’
and ‘every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him’;
and all peoples on earth ‘will mourn because of him.’
So shall it be! Amen.”
(Revelation 1:7)

When I was young, my parents would take my brothers and me on a long (and sometimes very slow!) trip to our holiday in North Wales. I can’t actually remember saying this, but just like all children, I must have uttered that wonderful question: “Are we there yet?” Today, I find that I still ask this of our Lord. There I am in the back of the car of life, wondering why the driver is taking so long to get to journey’s end. And then Jesus responds: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done”. (Revelation 22:12).

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)

Father, fill us with the peace and assurance that, yes, your Son will return – at just the right time, as already planned. We desire for Jesus to be seen by all of the world and how we yearn for his return!  Give us the peace and knowledge that you are in control, acting through the Son in the world today.

The Blog

We asked our student Hasmukh to write down what impression the following picture created in his mind as part of his writing assignment. The result was heartwarming.

Let me tell you a story of one of our patient. Her name was Tincy. Tincy was 12 years old. She was a brilliant student and she had keenly interested interest in acting. Unfortunately, she had diagnosed with acute Leukemia, a type of blood cancer and her leukemia was bit different and incurable. She had maximum one year.

Can you imagine, how brave she was? Let me tell you. When we broke news of her cancer, obviously after discussing with parents, you will be surprised to know that what she told us. She asked us as why are we worrying so much and gave us an example- “Sparrows has a life span of only 3 years but still they live their whole life happily. I have one year and I could do whatever l want to do.” We all were surprised.

Then slowly she became like our family member because she spent rest of the her time in the hospital itself only. One day I went for lumber puncture, a procedure to get some spinal fluid and as expected she was ready and gave knee elbow position for procedure however she suddenly stood up and asked me that she will only give to undergo the procedure if i would dance for her on song ‘Lungi Dance’. As she was our darling patient I could not refused it. I danced in front of all patients in ward and then she did the procedure. This was one of the many funny incidents with her.

Tincy succumbed to death after 9 months of diagnosis. She left but her soul will remain in our hearts forever.

Other students of WordsMaya have also created stories out of pictures. You can read them here-

When I upgraded the Drudge Retort, I wanted to simpify things by offering a single feed in RSS 2.0 format. Any halfway decent aggregator supports RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom, so offering all three on a site just gives you two more things that can break.

I quickly discovered that the Retort has 212 subscribers to its Atom feed on Bloglines, none of whom were getting updates when I redirected the URL to the RSS feed. So I added Atom support to Wordzilla and recreated the feed.

Bloglines won't poll it, reporting an error. At first, I thought it was because I redirected the old URL to a new one that better supports caching. But no matter where I offer the feed, which is valid Atom 0.3, Bloglines refuses to check it.

Date: Thursday, June 7th

Time: 5-7 p.m.

Location: Lions Shelter in Yoctangee Park

Beth Workman for Ohio House is inviting all members of District 92 to a campaign picnic at Yoctangee Park in Chillicothe. Food, drinks, and fellowship will be provided, along with the chance to discuss state and local issues with Workman.

Register for this event below!

“The state of Ohio has been operating under an unconstitutional funding system for over 20 years,” Workman says. “When elected to office, I will focus on changing our present funding system. I also will fight to restore all funding to our local public schools that has been given to charter schools, some of which has gone to make private citizens millionaires.”

Workman, a former educator at Paint Valley Local Schools, will be focusing on education issues in her campaign. She believes that every student, regardless of zip code, is entitled to an excellent education. She also believes that the charter school industry has taken valuable resources away from public schools and has been allowed by our state legislators to operate in an unregulated manner. The state itself has also taken necessary funding from our schools, as well as from our local government. Beth wants to see these funds restored.

“The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expenses of it. There should not be a district of one mile square, without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people themselves.”  This is a quote by John Adams that is used often by William Phyllis, the head of the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy in School Funding.  Bill has been fighting against this unconstitutional system of funding for years and Beth would like to join him in this fight.

Come to discuss these educational issues as well as other issues that you would like to see addressed by your legislators.

The Polish 2018-2021 NAP was drawn up jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of the Interior and Administration and the Government Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment and adopted by the Council of Ministers on 22 of October 2018. Before its approval, the Plan was submitted for public consultations, which involved non-governmental organizations promoting the role of women in the security sector. With the adoption of the NAP, Poland joined the group of more than 80 countries who actively participate in the implementation of the ten resolutions and the WPS Agenda.

The Polish National Implementation Plan sets a conceptual framework for the implementation of the provisions of ten UN Security Council resolutions on WPS. The main postulates presented in the Plan are as follows: the need to increase women’s participation in peace processes and in missions and peacekeeping operations, greater involvement of women in decision-making processes related to peace, as well as the protection and support for women and children during and after armed conflict.

The Plan sets four main outcomes for the years 2018-2021:

  1. Meaningful participation of women in conflict prevention and peacekeeping;

University of Wisconsin–Madison, Wisconsin School of Business
MBA Graduation Year: 2018
Current Job: Strategic Pricing Planner, Kohl’s

I chose the Wisconsin Evening MBA Program because of the school ranking, global learning experience, and complimentary coach bus from Milwaukee to Madison. I wanted a prestigious university that would help me expand my professional opportunities and learn about business from an international perspective. The ability to have a relaxed commute was then a huge bonus. After researching local MBA programs, I ended up only applying to UW–Madison.

Moving up in my company will involve me becoming a manager, and I want to prepare for this next step. I’m earning my MBA to be better prepared as a manager and leader. Through the program, I have also realized that I belong in an analytical role. I have enjoyed the analytical classes such as macroeconomics and accounting.

UW–Madison’s expert faculty work well with students. Faculty encourage us to share our own experiences, which helps everyone learn. They are dedicated to helping any student that needs guidance. Each student additionally brings a wide range of knowledge to the discussions. This helps turn critical concepts into practical examples, which you can apply to your own work.

Learning from guest speakers, like economists from the Federal Reserve, is a major benefit of the Wisconsin Evening MBA Program. The speakers provided invaluable insights into what is going on in our economy and how it impacts American businesses. This unique opportunity to learn from industry experts connected lessons from the class to the real world.

I have gained skills to calculate financial equations, read income statements, and decipher cases about large companies. These have helped me be prepared for my current role as it relates to marketing, economics, and finance. I have also improved my essential business skills in communication and leadership, and have seen a big improvement in my ability to present in front of a room.

The network and friendships are something that cannot be replaced. So much of business is about leveraging connections, and I have connected with a great group of people in the Wisconsin Evening MBA Program. It also gives me people to reach out to for perspectives outside of my current company.

Wu Orthodontics Promotes October National Orthodontic Health Month

National Orthodontic Health Month Rochester NY Dr. Eric Wu and our team at Wu Orthodontics want to spread the word in the Los Altos and Palo Alto CA areas that October is Orthodontic National Health Month. It is never to too soon or too late to undergo orthodontic treatment to achieve a beautiful healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.

The purpose of Orthodontic National Health month isto draw attention to the fact that everyone needs to be evaluated for orthodontic treatment. You are never too young or too old if your bite or smile needs correction.

American Association of Orthodontics recommends that parents start early and all kids be evaluated 7 – 8 years of age. During the growing years of 7 – 10, kids undergo a major growth spurt that goes hand in hand with the eruptive pattern of their teeth and development of jaws.

An orthodontist specializes in the growth and development of teeth and jaws and can best determine if your child is a candidate for treatment and the optimum time to begin treatment if they can follow a child’s development from an early age. Intervening at the correct time, based on your child’s individual growth pattern, can prevent more long-term or difficult treatment later on if potential problems are addressed sooner.

Be on the lookout for orthodontic warning signs that can be found in children, teens, and adults:

  • Early or late loss of baby teeth or missing permanent teeth
  • Difficulty chewing or biting into food
  • Mouth breathing due to allergies or enlarged tonsils and adenoids during developmental years
  • Finger habits during development years
  • Crowded, misplaced, or blocked out teeth
  • Crossbite, overbite, and protruding teeth
  • Inability to comfortably close lips
  • Speech problems
  • Teeth that don’t come together
  • Grinding or clenching of teeth
  • Clicking of jaw joints and TMJ problems

If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, scheduling a complimentary consultation to evaluate your child’s dental growth during crucial developmental years will enable you to determine if your child is a candidate for orthodontic care and when.

We also recommend adolescents, teens, and adults exhibiting the same symptoms to schedule a complimentary exam. We specialize in the latest in orthodontic care for patients 7 – 70 and beyond! It is never too late to receive a beautiful healthy smile of a lifetime. “You don’t know… what you don’t know… till you know it!” Contact our office today for more information.

Reporting On Leaked Medical Records Newsworthy To A Point

Computer Keyboard
Wikimedia Commons

Yet again, news organizations around the globe are reporting on computer hackers illegally obtaining – and releasing - private information.

This summer – the Democratic Party and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton were targets. Now the hackers have taken aim at American Olympic athletes and their medical records.

The documents reveal that some athletes received what’s called therapeutic use exemptions for a variety of medications, and that they did nothing illegal. News organizations from ABC News to Inside Edition are reporting on it, from a variety of angles.

“Anytime you have information about the type of medications that Olympic athletes use, particularly after the Rio Olympics, where we spent so much time talking about the Russian athletes and their drug use, you’re going to have journalists who are interested in the stories,” said Kelly McBride, of the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. “I don’t think it’s inappropriate to report what is released in these medical records.”

But she said, sharing the actual documents with the public is a step too far.

“Medical records are private. This was clearly an invasion of privacy,” McBride said. “And I think there’s a way to report on the contents of the records without publishing the records themselves.”

WUSF 89.7 depends on donors for the funding it takes to provide you the most trusted source of news and information here in town, across our state, and around the world. Support WUSF now by giving monthly, or make a one-time donation online.

Body Under Siege

OK…. so…. the tree needs finished…. and I feel like a man with a body under siege.  There are invisible Lilliputians  attacking me from bottom to top.  I have a foot that won’t stop spasming/curling.  My aforementioned back problem has become 2 back problems.  The back problem in the top of my back has caused a problem with my left shoulder near where the shoulder joins the back.  My costal cartilage in my chest is pulled out again.

And to top it all off….  just inside my nostril near the very tip of my nose… where your nose is especially sensitive… there’s a humongous alien incubating.

But, the cold is almost gone.  So, I guess things are looking up.

Conditional Recommend! If you don't need short adventures, you don't need this. If you don't need content for levels 1 through 9, you don't need this. If you're miraculously talented at pulling NPCs, adventures and twists out of thin air - you don't need this book! But for the rest of us - and I'm guessing the majority of us - this product holds some real value. I can always use content to panic-play at a moment's notice when my players do something unexpected and skirt around the town I thought they'd spend 3 hours in! (This happened last week. I'm not bitter!)

I also think this is a GREAT product to have around for that day when you know one player won't be able to show - and you have someone else who wants to DM for the first time. This is a GREAT way to get them into the big chair - the adventures are short, the prep is minimal, there's no long tern commitment, most of the possibilities are covered and if they don't like it - no big deal, it was only 2 hours anyway.

This book is a treasure. I came into ownership of it after speaking with the author about a DnD club I'm running and one glance got me excited. A light perusal inspired me, and a detailed read secured Jeff Stevens Games as a go to source for Dungeons and Dragons content from now on. You won't regret buying this one - it's full of *great* stuff

I love this book. I received my hardcopy of the book recently. Overall I am so very impressed with this book. Not only are there some really fun scenarios by some well-known personalities, the others are fantastic and so creative as well.

The editing and colors/art in this are truly some of the best in the business. I find myself just flipping through this often and smiling at the images and imagining players when they go through the adventures for the first time.

Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.

Jason Wu and Gustavo Rangel HIRSHHORN MUSEUM and Sculpture Garden 40th Anniversary Gala

As anyone who follows the fashion crowd on Instagram by now knows, Jason Wu is officially off the market. The 33-year old designer trekked his nearest and dearest to Tulum, Mexico for his nupitals to longtime boyfriend Gustavo Rangel (the brand’s chief financial officer).

Jennifer Fisher, who just celebrated the anniversary of her first decade in business, celebrity loyalist Diane Kruger, Bryanboy, Sofia Sanchez de Betak and others joined the designer for the beachside celebration.

The couple met on New Year’s Eve in 2005.

When Wrangler Western Wear set out to woo the designer Wendy Mullin for its fall 2004 line, it had an unusual hurdle to overcome — executives at the company had to convince her that they weren’t pulling her leg.

After all, it’s not like she had submitted a résumé. However, Mullin, of the New York-based Built by Wendy line, had said in the October 2002 issue of Jane magazine that if she had to pick a new label to design for, she’d pick Wrangler.

Reading that set Phil McAdams, president of VF Corp.’s Wrangler Western Wear division, to thinking, so he called the designer.

“I thought it was a joke so I blew them off for a while,” Mullin admitted. “They kept calling and calling. I thought it was so weird…They said they were curious about my ideas.”

By September 2003, they connected and the new Wrangler line was on the way. Mullin’s line for Wrangler, which will carry a new and modern take on the traditional Wrangler logo, aims to invigorate vintage Wrangler looks while preserving the brand’s Western heritage. The collection of men’s and women’s styles, presented by New York’s Steven Alan Showroom, will be sold at upscale retailers nationwide beginning in fall 2004.

“You can’t help but catch some of Wendy’s excitement for this project — and that’s refreshing,” McAdams said. “We are impressed with how well the Wrangler brand’s Americana heritage and spirit are reflected in these new styles, and we have every reason to think this fashion-savvy consumer will respond positively.”

The men’s product will be unveiled during market week this month. The women’s line, which launches in February, will include knee-length skirts, miniskirts, low-rise boot-cut jeans, regular-waist straight-leg jeans, wide-leg patch-pocket trousers, zip-front jean jackets, sport jackets, Western-inspired shirts, ruffle-front tunic tops and novelty T-shirts.

Jeans wholesale from $40 to $45, shirts $30 to $35 and jackets from $50 to $65. That puts the collection’s prices at more than double those of the main Wrangler line, where jeans wholesale for less than $20.

To reinvigorate classic styles, the 1947 trademark patch is updated with a modern, clean feel, while all-new leather patches, copper rivets and copper buttons — imprinted with the brand’s “W” — copper metallic hangtags, sewn-in labels and flag labels give the line a new look.

“Working with the Wrangler brand has been phenomenal,” Mullin said. “The brand’s authenticity and inherent coolness really come through in the new line. Now people can have those kick-ass Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans and that classic pleated, zip-front jean jacket that, until now, could only be found in thrift stores.”
