The Loar has introduced the LO-215 and 216, two small-body single-0 guitars with a 25.4-inch dreadnought scale length.
The street prices for these models start at $389.99.
Both models are flat tops benefit from the light weight of small-body guitars, but they the longer scale, which can provide extra volume. The LO-215 starts with a solid Sitka spruce top on a classic 0-style body. The dreadnought-scale length means the strings have greater excursion, resulting in a good deal of punch and projection.
"The Sitka spruce combines with the flamed maple back and sides for a bright, sweet tone that’s great for any style of music. Our 1-11/16” bone nut is comfortable for either fingerpicking or strumming, and the vintage-style Golden Age tuning machines keep the 215 in tune through extended playing sessions. The ivory body binding gives the LO-215 a refined, classic look that complements the vintage sunburst finish and firestripe pickguard.
"We’ve built the LO-216 guitar with all of the same features, but with mahogany back and sides for players who prefer a slightly darker tone. We’ve finished the mahogany models in either natural or classic black, for a historic look that will definitely get attention. The black especially pops against the vintage firestripe pickguard.

On July 13, 2011, in his testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Texas Congressman Ron Paul that he does not think gold is money, only an asset. Mr. Paul pressed further and asked, “Why, then, do central banks hold gold as reserves?” Mr. Bernanke, looking a bit like a grade school student in a spelling bee contest that was just presented the word “incongruity,” could only muster a one-word answer, “Tradition.” Apparently, these central bankers’ monetary strategy is analogous to why Americans serve turkey on Thanksgiving. Brilliant! To be fair, given that Mr. Bernanke is the chief guardian and servant to the altar of fiat paper currency, a position of disregarding gold as money is to be expected, even if it ignores 6,000 years of history.
If you concur with Mr. Bernanke that, in fact, gold is not money and only an asset, you may want to stop reading here and move on to other things. The perspective I will present is not good news, and conflicts with most of what conventional financial media tells you. If, on the other hand, you disagree with Mr. Bernanke, or are at least open to another perspective on the markets, by all means, read on.

What has been almost two solid years for manufacturers in the Inland Empire got even better in October, a study released Thursday, Nov. 1 found.
The Purchasing Managers Index, a survey of some 30 factory managers in the region performed by the Institute of Applied Research at Cal State San Bernardino, was 61.3 last month, a sharp increase from the 56.3 reported in September. It was the 22nd straight month the index has been above 50, the level that suggests growth in the sector.
Key factors in the study were solid across the board. Manufacturers predict production will continue to ramp up, with more orders from customers expected.
“This encouraging finding is not what we typically see heading into the holiday season when most firms have already completed their production,” Barbara Sirotnik, director of the Cal State institute, said in a statement.
The report also had good news for employees at the region’s factories, along with workers who might be seeking a position. The employment category was at 66 in October, up from 50 the previous month.
An estimated 99,600 Inland workers were employed by the manufacturing sector in October, according to state data.
Only 7 percent of the manufacturers surveyed said they believe the economy would weaken in the coming months, with 43 percent saying it would get stronger and 50 percent predicting it would stay the same.
Business has been strong at Allegra Marketing, a Corona company that makes signs, banners and other promotional material. Co-owner Eugene Montanez said Allegra recently expanded to Redlands.

This article focuses on a few of Argentinean-American contributions to our lifestyle, business, and culture. For example, did you know?
1. What are some of the Argentinean contributions to lifestyle in the U.S?
• The rich Argentinean cuisine that has become popular in the U.S. includes huge rare beef steaks, dishes made with vegetables and meat, empanadas (meat turnovers), Italian pasta, and dulce de leche (a thick caramel made with condensed milk), and mate tea.
• Best known for their Argentinean beef, traditional specialties include asado (grilled meat and ribs), parrillada (Argentinean mixed barbeque) and empanadas.
• Gaucho pants, baggy trousers fastened with a leather belt that were popular in U.S. fashion for many years, were inspired by the traditional gaucho pants of Argentina.
• Argentineans brought their traditional “la sobremesa” custom of following meals by sitting at the table after a meal for conversation to exchange ideas and discuss various issues.
• Education is highly praised and regarded by Argentinean Americans.
• The majority of Argentinean Americans practice rituals and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church.
2. What are some of the Argentinean contributions to U.S. business?
• Enjoying a trade surplus with Argentina, the U.S. is currently Argentina’s number two trading partner behind Brazil. U.S. imports from Argentina include mineral fuel and oil, aluminum, wine and preserved foods. The U.S. exports machinery, oil, plastics and organic chemicals.
• The U.S. and Argentina cooperate closely on government, science, binational education at basic and higher education levels, and collaborate with NASA and Argentina Space Agency (CONAE) in Disaster Risk Reduction by addressing problems and identifying solutions to disaster response mechanisms.
• Argentina and the U.S. are frequently aligned in the United Nations, the G-20 and other international organizations.
• After Brazil and Mexico, Argentina is the third largest economy in Latin America.
3. What are some of the Argentinean-American contributions to American culture?
• Heart bypass – Developed by Dr. Rene Favaloro, while he was studying at the U.S. Cleveland Clinic.
• Artificial heart – Developed in the 1960’s by Argentine doctor and inventor Domingo Santo Liotta.

Today, we released the October 2015 World Economic Outlook.
Our forecasts come at a moment when the world economy is at the intersection of at least three powerful forces.
First, China’s economic transformation – away from export- and investment-led growth and manufacturing, in favor of a greater focus on consumption and services. This process, however necessary and healthy in the longer term, has near-term implications for China’s growth and its relations with its trade partners.
Second, and related, the fall in commodity prices. Years of high global demand drove prices upward and spurred investment in commodity sectors. But as China began to slow earlier during the present decade, many commodity prices turned downward, starting in the second half of 2011, and their fall has accelerated recently.
Third, there is the impending normalization of monetary policy in the United States. Relatively favorable output and price performance in the United States could soon justify an interest-rate increase, but the possible global repercussions, especially in emerging and developing economies, add to current uncertainties.
Amid these developments, we project that in the near term global growth will remain moderate and uneven, with higher downside risks than were apparent at our July 2015 update. The “holy grail” of robust and synchronized global expansion remains elusive.
What do the numbers say? Broadly speaking, these reflect a reduction from our forecasts of last July. Global real GDP grew at 3.4 percent last year, but will grow at only 3.1 percent this year. For 2016, we project a rebound to 3.6 percent growth. We have reduced both of these numbers by 0.2 percentage point compared with our last projections three months ago.
The aggregate numbers reflect disparate fortunes between the advanced and the emerging market and developing economies. In advanced economies we project a moderate growth pick-up this year relative to last, notably in the United States and euro area. Unfortunately, Japanese growth seems to be faltering after a strong first quarter. Advanced economies grew at a 1.8 percent rate last year but we see a modest increase at 2.0 percent this year, then accelerating to 2.2 percent in 2016.
As always, the figures for advanced economies in general mask diverse prospects across individual countries. Major commodity producers, notably Canada but also Australia and Norway, are experiencing slowdowns. Along with the fall in real incomes due to poorer terms of trade, there are also negative investment effects in the commodity-producing sectors, which have proved a significant headwind to growth even in the United States.
But the downward trend in commodity prices, which, as I have noted, has accelerated recently, is having its most dramatic effects in the emerging and developing commodity exporters. For this group of countries—that now represents well over half of world GDP and will still generate the lion’s share of world growth—2015 growth is projected to fall to 4.0 percent from its 2014 level of 4.6 percent. This rate of growth is much lower than what we saw in the recovery from the global crisis, and represents the fifth straight year of falling GDP growth for emerging and developing economies.
Of course, while commodities are a big part of the story, they are not the whole story: in some cases, political instability could be a bigger factor, or an overhang of debt after capital inflows and over-investment earlier this decade.
We project a rebound for next year, with 4.5 percent growth in emerging and developing economies, and a further pickup in subsequent years. This rebound mostly reflects an expected gradual normalization of conditions in countries experiencing especially deep recessions this year—such as Brazil and Russia—as well as in some other economies that are currently growing much below trend, including in Latin America.
To be sure, many emerging markets have increased their resilience to external shocks with increased exchange rate flexibility, higher foreign exchange reserves, increased reliance on Foreign Direct Investment flows and domestic-currency external financing, and generally stronger policy frameworks.
That being said, we have recently become more worried about potential downside risks that may threaten this recovery—all the more so because some countries have limited policy space to respond. The new releases of the Global Financial Stability Report and the Fiscal Monitor cover financial and fiscal risks in detail. But some obvious concerns stand out. A notable risk is a rapid decompression of bond risk premiums, leading to spikes in longer-term interest rates. Indeed, we have already seen some of this increase for some emerging and developing economies, especially commodity exporters.
Exchange-rate depreciation has generally been a helpful buffer for emerging and developing countries experiencing growth slowdowns—and has already been substantial—but could cause adverse balance-sheet effects where there is foreign-currency borrowing. Some countries have proactively tightened monetary policy to keep inflation expectations well anchored.
No single set of policy prescriptions is suitable for every country seeking to improve growth performance or build resilience. But some familiar general principles still apply.
Emerging market and developing economies need to be ready for monetary policy normalization by the United States. Enhanced surveillance over financial vulnerabilities, as well as a further shift away from debt finance, especially foreign-currency financing, will be helpful preparations. Targeted capital flow measures could also play a useful role. Fiscal frameworks should be strengthened, with due attention to the needs to safeguard growth and to preserve social safety nets for the most vulnerable.
Advanced economies must continue to deal with crisis legacies, including non-performing loans, where they persist. At the same time, monetary accommodation should continue where output gaps are negative, supplemented by fiscal measures where fiscal space permits. Deflation pressures remain in several regions.
In many economies, whether advanced or not, the case for infrastructure investment seems compelling at a time of very low long-term real interest rates and concerns about low global demand. Higher investment is one way to enhance potential output growth, but targeted structural reforms can also play an important positive role. Such reforms help not only to enhance future growth, but to increase the resilience of growth.
In conclusion, this World Economic Outlook underlines the challenges all countries face; and it places even more importance on the policy upgrades that all require.

If you haven’t checked out our new RPG show, Weave Society, you really should. It’s a delightful story-driven experience with an endearing cast comprised of storytellers Amy Dallen (Wednesday Club, Shield of Tomorrow), Whitney Moore (Thrashtopia), Becca Scott (Game the Game), Stef Woodburn (Mines ‘n Crafts), and Gina DeVivo (Mines ‘n Crafts).
Streamed on Twitch and Alpha every Wednesday starting at 9:30 PM PT, the cast has fantastic adventures using Weave – a system that uses a digital app and beautiful story cards that guide players and storyteller through an accessible roleplaying experience.
Each story is told over 2 episodes, with a new storyteller and a new playset starting again after a game finishes. Each story told is complete after 2 episodes, meaning that you can still jump and catch new episodes without feeling left behind by the story.
The first 2 episodes had Amy Dallen sitting in the Storyteller chair with the playset, “The Goonies” – an 80s inspired playset where the players were young teens who would befriend or fight monsters of all sorts. We’re one episode in (read: halfway done) the sci-fi inspired story with Becca Scott sitting in the storyteller chair, but despite only have 3 episodes, the fan art inspired by the show is incredible.
Check out the gallery below to see how some artists have envisioned the characters of the two stories so far.
If you’re an artist inspired by the show, be sure to post your art on social media and use the hashtag #weavesociety so we can have a look. You never know, you may see it featured here on Geek & Sundry!
Be sure to catch the past episodes of Weave Society on Twitch and Alpha, or watch it live starting at 9:30 PM PT every Wednesday night!

I have benefited tremendously from this Fascinating Womanhood course! My whole attitude towards my husband, children, and homemaker’s role has changed. I realize that my husband has always been a terrific guy and I have never appreciated just how lucky I was to be married to him. We have four beautiful adopted children and a lovely home. My husband is successful in his own business. I thought I had a rather happy marriage. Well, average anyway. Yet many times I was unhappy and discontent with my role in life. It seemed my work was never done. I realize now that I could spend most of the day thinking about the clothes that needed washing, and the floors that were dirty—the finger marks on the walls, etc. I ended up with everything half done and me very discouraged. How on earth did other women keep their houses so clean, cooking terrific meals and always looking so good? I rated myself a big “zero.” In contrast, my husband worked hard, enjoyed it and always looked good. He did everything well. I was a sloppy housekeeper and a sloppy wife in appearance. Oh yes, I was feeling very sorry for myself.
Then my sister-in-law heard about Fascinating Womanhood and urged me to attend a class with her. I found it the wisest thing I have ever done. I started admiring my husband and praising the way he provided so well for us. I commented on the long hours he worked, the big responsibility he had in caring for us, and how nice and trim he always looked. What do you know! I got a compliment on my dinner one night. Then he started to bring some of his work home to do at night in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and talking to me while I folded clothes. We began actually spending our evenings together and talking like we did when we were first married twelve years ago. Another evening, another compliment on my dinner. Best of all—no more criticism from him. My household is running so much better now. I list six things I must do every day and I get them done and don’t worry about the rest. I take time to freshen up toward the end of the day before my husband returns home. Since I started taking this course, my bathrooms have been retiled, wallpaper for them is on order, and my husband has spent the last weekend building an upper bunk in our travel trailer to accommodate our growing children, a project he has intended to do for the past year. Whether these deeds were accomplished because of Fascinating Womanhood, I don’t really know. But it’s interesting that they have all been done while I’ve been practicing Fascinating Womanhood.

Have you heard of Edith Macefield? This old lady turned down a million dollar offer to sell her home to make way for a shopping mall in Seattle, Washington. Without Edith’s land, the developer had to alter the building’s plan so that it would meander around the small, two-story house. At 84 years old, Edith become a folk hero. And if you think her house looks familiar, it’s probably because it looks amazingly similar to (and could be the inspiration for) the famous flying house in Pixar’s animated film UP.
The story of Edith Macefield reached the public for the first time in 2006, when she refused to relocate and make way for a large shopping mall in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle. Over the decades, Edith had the chance to see drastic changes taking place in her little neighborhood. Gentrification enabled the replacement of old houses with boutique shops and condos, and eventually these commercial structures closed in on her house. Developers offered her no less than a million dollars to move—an offer which she famously refused. The shopping mall was eventually built, but it had to be modified so as not to disturb Edith’s property.

Edith passed away in 2008 at the age of 87, but she still managed to surprise everyone one last time. She had willed her home to Barry Martin, the construction chief at the adjacent building site, with whom she formed an unlikely friendship. Barry looked after her and drove her to the hospital after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Since Edith’s death, the house has been remodeled—its walls fixed and windows replaced. Plans are in the works to eventually raze the house and create a public square below, in memory of Edith’s bravery and integrity.

@melior because money is all that matters, business is entitled to private property, it's dementia to want to keep your house? Nice.
Yes Melior, I\'m sure you developers are just trying to help people out. It has nothing to do with lining your pockets huh? Give me a break.
Melior.. its sad to see your comment and with inhabitat pic as your display pic.
Melior, how is this crappy mall progress? You seem to be a design-build firm. Does your firm specialize in this kind of junky warehouse-esque aluminum panel facades? Also, you might not be aware: lots of people don't require money to better their quality of life. So, you might try understanding a different perspective that values an individual over sprawl. (Why can't I avoid getting suckered into responding to these kinds of online comments?) Also, if you're in construction, you (and I both) know that developers are some of the slimiest people around. I'd be very afraid of being taken advantage by them - good point.
Bravery and integrity?? Integrity to what- selfishness, dementia, stubbornness, and anti-progress? I think everyone can admit that this is absolutely ridiculous, and makes no sense to everyone involved, including Edith, who could have bequeathed that $ to needy heirs or a better cause. Bravery? It\'s quite the opposite that motivates these \"nail house\" people. It\'s fear. Fear of change. Fear of being taken advantage of by big bad smooth talking \"Bob the Builder Developer\"- who wants to give you one million dollars to better your quality of life. Truly sad. And mind numbingly frustrating.
Will they raise the house with balloons? Or will they only raze it?
I think you mean they plan to "eventually raze" the house.
The Lady is being economically irrational. But no matter, once she is deceased the developers will take over the rest of the property. I wonder how exactly she is coping with the visual blight issue because three out of four sides of her house are completely blocked off from the sun and the rest of the world.
@darrylecook, doubt it. Not much in there, but a Trader Joe's, a gym, a UPS store, and a few other things. The building is mostly empty.
Pretty sure this is an attempt by the developers and architects to create buzz for mall business, but cool anyway!
Are they using balloons to raise it, or a bulldozer to raze it?
A shame it has to be razed to commemorate her bravery and integrity.

Along this mystic path we have looked at four stages: awakening, purification, illumination, and union. In this format it looks like a fairly straightforward process. It is anything but! In actuality it looks more like a spiral, however, even that image may be misleading. In talking about the spiritual life, our language by necessity must include metaphor.
A spiritual experience that many who travel this path have undergone was called by John of the Cross, the dark night of the soul. Stated simply, in this experience, God is helping us to grow in love. We are learning to love God for God’s sake and not simply for the God’s blessings.
The dark night affects us in various ways. We may feel a loss of the presence of God. We may have an acute sense of our own imperfections. We may experience a kind of spiritual lassitude. Even our will power may seem diminished.
In the book of Job, Satan asserts that Job only serves God because God has blessed him. Take away those blessings, and he will turn away, so says Satan. (An aside: I believe the Book of Job is more parable than literal. After all, have you ever known anyone who argued back and forth in poetry!) In the end, Job endured, though not without a monumental struggle. And the light returned.
endure. But endure it we must, if we are to grow in love for God.
The name of this blog site is Pathways to God. Today I want us to begin thinking about the Mystic Way. In the Christian context, three movements are usually affirmed: purification, illumination and union. However, two additional steps are sometimes mentioned. One may occur between illumination and union. It is traditionally called the Dark Night of the Soul. The other is prior to purification. It is awakening. And it is awakening that I want to think about today.
The experience of awakening can happen in at least two different ways. One is to experience the glory of God externally. Nicholas Hermann (popularly known as Brother Lawrence) saw a dead tree in winter and thinking about how it would come back to life, he was awakened to the greatness of God. It was life-changing. Men as different as St. Paul and Rulman Merswin saw a great light and they were never the same. Even Jesus heard a divine voice at his baptism and a ‘normal’ life was no longer a possibility.
The other way is inward. Richard Rolle felt a heat or warming in his heart. (I don’t think it was heat that Tums could ‘fix’!) Catherine of Genoa was struggling in a loveless marriage and perhaps with depression. She went to a priest for her normal Lenten confession, but wasn’t able to say anything. As she knelt, her heart seemed pierced by the love of God. In one moment she saw her own miserable state, but more importantly God’s boundless love. Both Rolle and Catherine became great affirmers in word and deed of a divine love that fills and overflows our hearts.
Awakening comes in different ways, but when it comes the person is never the same. The Divine becomes the ever present reality of their lives. They live for God and God’s will. They affirm the beauty and the love of God.
So, what can we do to be awakened? Perhaps nothing. It comes to irreligious and religious persons alike. We can’t make it happen. All I can suggest is to pay attention to life within and without. All life comes from God and perhaps if we pay attention, we are more likely to experience a moment of awakening that will last a lifetime.

Tom Kelly (@1TomKelly) previews Girona v Real Mardi and provides us with his best bets for Sunday’s La Liga clash by analysing team news, potential line-ups, head-to-head, key stats and facts and more.
Following Ronaldo’s departure this summer, Real Madrid will experience their first season without the Portuguese goal scorer for over ten years. Therefore, this presents the opportunity for a new star to step forward and be the key figure within a star-studded side.
However, Real Madrid’s 2018/19 campaign didn’t exactly go to plan, losing 4-2 in the opening fixture of the season to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. The current Champions League holders struggled to defeat their local rivals as a Diego Costa inspired performance guided Atletico to victory.
Despite this, the Galatico’s managed to secure a win on the first day of the La Liga season, seeing of Getafe 2-0. Gareth Bale grabbed the second goal in this fixture and was unfortunately unable to score Real Madrid’s opening goal of the La Liga season, which he managed to do for the past three seasons.
Girona, on the other hand, recorded an opening day draw against Real Valladolid. However, the Spanish side impressed during pre-season as they defeated Tottenham 4-1.
The only injuries that Real Madrid will face when entering this fixture is that of central defender, Jesus Vallejo, who is currently suffering from a muscular injury. On the other hand, Girona enter this meeting with a fully fit squad.
Last season, these two sides had a mixed bag of results – with Real Madrid recording a 6-3 win in March while Girona overturned the Galatico’s 2-1 in October.
Gareth Bale has managed to find the back of the net four times in eight games, with the Welshmen growing in confidence.
Girona have demonstrated within pre-season and the early stages of this season that they possess a strong defensive unit, therefore, I believe if Real Madrid were to take the lead – it would be during the second half.

A very special welcome to Elizabeth Lee! Elizabeth has the enviable series title of Nut House Mysteries. So cute! I know it makes me feel right at home. But these are edible nuts, like pecans! A TOUGH NUT TO KILL, the first in the series, was just released on February 4th. Elizabeth has very kindly agreed to give away a copy of her book to one lucky person who leaves a comment here today. Good luck, everyone!
In A TOUGH NUT TO KILL, the one thing you wouldn’t call Miss Amelia of The Nut House in Riverville, Texas, is straitlaced. She may be seventy-seven but you’d better not call her “Dearie” or “Sweetie” or “Honey” either, unless you want that special pecan pie of hers to be served upside down in the box.
The Nut House is where a lot of the pecans grown on the Blanchard family ranch are turned into Sassie Tassies, and fried pies, and spiced pecans, and on and on—anything Miss Amelia can come up with, all very good according to the citizens of Riverville.
The thing with Miss Amelia and her granddaughter, Lindy Blanchard, is that when they get mixed up in murder, especially when one of their own family is accused of the killing, high dudgeon comes pouring out, and trickery, and investigative skills enough to rival Sherlock Holmes.
The only trouble with solving crimes, Miss Amelia finds, is that her time in the kitchen is cut way back. The Nut House could suffer. She figures she’s got to come up with something fast and wonderful to keep her customers happy while she’s out visiting suspicious new friends and calling on a few old buddies like the ‘girls’,’ a set of twins in their eighties who spend most of their time in the saddle, out shooting rattlers on their spread. The ‘Girls’ argue like two squirrels in a sack, but have a couple of solid ideas about human rattlers they’d like to take aim at.
Nobody’s about to complain. That would be like turning your back on the Texas flag.
What Miss Amelia will tell you though, if you’re a teetotaler, is to leave out the bourbon in her recipe. Last thing she wants is your lost soul on her conscience. But, in fairness, she did add that if you’re having a bad day, maybe you just found a dead body or were out chasing a killer—feel free to go ahead and leave out the rest of the ingredients and just drink the whiskey.
Here’s her recipe for easy-to-make Texas Outhouse Moons.
Cream butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth.
Add flour, bourbon, and pecans.
Shape into 2 inch quarter-moon crescents and place on a cookie sheet.
Keep a close eye on these. They should be set, but not too brown.
When cool, roll in extra confectioners sugar and get the heck out of the kitchen.
Elizabeth Lee (aka Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli) lives in the north woods, back with the deer and the turkeys and the bear. She has published prize-winning essays and short stories but loves writing mystery novels. Her first was Gift of Evil, from Bantam, then Dead Dancing Women, Dead Floating Lovers, Dead Sleeping Shaman, Dead Dogs and Englishmen, and Dead Little Dolly from Midnight Ink. A Tough Nut to Kill is the first in The Nut House series from Berkley Publishing, part of the larger series: Soup to Nuts.
A TOUGH NUT TO KILL!
I must admit, I'm allergic to nuts. And yet, this series appeals to me. Probably because of all the times when I tell someone I'm allergic to nuts and they ask how I can possibly live with myself in that case.
Sounds delicious! Pecans have always been my favorite nut!
I've got my copy sitting on my read-these-soon pile!
Elizabeth, these moons sound yummy. Looking forward to reading A Tough Nut To Kill!
Great recipe, I'll have to put it on my must try list.
These sound excellent. I love pecans, although I'm the only one in my family who does. I'll have to wait to try this recipe until I'm going someplace where I can share them. The series sounds excellent too.
These sound yummy!! And I can't wait to read this book!
Elizabeth, what a fun recipe, and what a fun post about Amelia. Love it. I'm sure this series will have plenty of nut-loving fans!
the recipe looks great and the series looks lik a fantastic read!
Fun premise! I'm looking forward to getting addicted to yet another cozy series. I may have to retire early so that I can read all of these books!

Subramanian committee headed by former Cabinet Secretary T S R Subramanian is a four member high-level committee which was appointed by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change for the purpose of reviewing environmental laws.
The committee, headed by the former cabinet secretary T S R Subramanian, was constituted in August 2014 in order to review the key environment laws like Forest Conservation Act of 1980, Environment Protection Act of 1986, Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, the Water Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1974 and the Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1981. These laws were reviewed in order to bring them in line in accordance with the current scenario and objectives. The Indian Forest Act of 1927 was another act which was added to the list of laws for the committee to review. This law is based on the colonial law, which governs the forest administration of India.
To evaluate project clearance in a timely manner, the committee has asked for setting a full-time expert body, National Environmental Management Authority at the Center and State Environmental Management Authority , which will play a pivotal role as the authorities in order to process applications for green clearance. Under these Existing Central Pollution Control Board and corresponding State agencies will also come under.
In order to benefit community in huge amount along with power and mining projects and projects of national importance, the committee recommended fast tracking processes for linear projects.
The committee also recommended the use of national GIS enabled environmental information data base, which would assist both the project proponent and several scrutinizing agencies in order to obtain authentic data which are in fact very important for decision making on an application.
A fast track procedure for linear projects like roads, railways and transmission lines, power and mining projects and several other Projects of national importance also been prescribed in the new plan.
These recommendations were suggested after the committee observed that the corporate seek short cuts to get clearance for their environment projects.
The Subramanian committee also recommended no change in the IFA and FCA.
It also proposes the clubbing of the Water Act and Air Act with EPA.
The Subramanian committee focuses on removing the duplication in the process of environmental clearances in their reports. In the report submitted by the committee, it said that the country’s major problems are related to the weakness in the implementation of various Policies and Acts. According to the report, it states that the there is no satisfactory conditions of the in the current environmental governance and the policy tools currently deployed in the management of various sectors.
The Committee also put stress on the satellite Imagery. It states that the GIS reference maps, combined with use of multilayer data captured through satellite imagery for relief and topography, hydrology, including underground water resources, soil characteristics and settlement patterns would be used for preliminary screening and speedy process of project clearance applications.
In the report, a new concept of the good faith has been included, which ensures the clearance of the applicant should be legal. It also stated that under the case of the suppression of facts or misrepresentation of facts, the person is reliable to severe penalty and will be subjected to the imprisonment of 7 years and even penalty, in the form of finance. The motive of this recommendation was to reduce the Inspector Raj.
At the same time, the Subramanian committee also proposed the Indian Environment Service in order to bring in the application of high-end technology in environment governance.
The Subramanian committee also recommendation the set up of Indian Environment Service in order to bring qualified and skilled human resource in the environment sector!
In fact, the Subramanian committee highlighted several important parts and recommendation along with high level and futuristic suggestion in order to bring in the best for the environment of the country.

The holiday season is almost upon us, so people will expect you to buy them gifts, thoughtful ones preferably that have good real-life applications. You may find what you’re looking for in one of the holiday email newsletters soon to bombard your inbox, but if you mistrust those – and you’re not alone in that – then your best option would be to search for gifts yourself.
Considering how popular technology has become as gifts, Bing is the best place to begin searching for them in. The search decision engine is designed not only to aggregate everything it can find on a specific search term and regurgitate it on your display (like the competition), but to present in a way that is actually organized, useful and helps you make informed decisions.
So if you’re planning on buying your old man a Surface Pro 3 for example, searching for the device on Bing will result in a nicely put together overview of the product specifications, links to hands-on videos of the device, reviews from some of the larger tech publications, in addition to detailed specifications and quick links to purchase the product, everything you would need to make an informed decision.
Microsoft have noted that Bing will do the same for unannounced products by presenting rumored information in a similar way and updating it as more credible information becomes available. Although my attempts to search for the Surface Mini gave me no such results. I smell a cover-up!
Anyways, if Bing is not already your default search engine, give it a shot this holiday season, the way it collects data on what you’re searching for and how it presents it as useful information may surprise you. Give it a try now, here is the search for the Surface Pro 3.

410S Stainless Steel is a non-hardening modification of Type 410. A small aluminum addition minimizes austenite formation at high temperatures, thereby restricting the alloy’s ability to harden. The result is a soft, ductile condition when the material is rapidly cooled from above the critical temperature. This non-hardening characteristic also retards formation of hardening cracks when the steel is welded. The alloy is completely ferritic in the annealed condition.
Low Carbon plus a small amount of Titanium and/or Niobium minimize austenite formation at high temperatures restricting the ability for the alloy to harden. This keeps 410S soft and ductile even when cooled from above at critical temperature.
The non-hardening property helps to prevent cracking when the alloy is exposed to high temperatures or when welded.
410S is completely ferritic in the annealed condition, which means it has a body-centered cubic crystal making it less ductile than austenitic steel. It is used mainly for household utensils and other applications that do not demand high anti-corrosion properties. 410S has adequate corrosion resistance, much like 410, and good oxidation resistance.
410S is annealed, or softened, to make it less brittle. This is done by heating it to between 1600 – 1650°F (871 – 899°C), then air cooling it slowly at room temperature to relieve cold-working stresses.
Sometimes, if excessive large grains are encountered after annealing mildly cold-worked material, the annealing temperature should be decreased to a range of 1200 – 1350°F (649 – 732°C) range. However, it should never be increased to 2000°F (1093°C) or above due to embrittlement, which is the partial or complete loss of the material’s ductility, the opposite of the desired result of annealing 410S.
For maximum corrosion resistance to chemical environments, the 410S surface should be free of all heat tint or oxide formed during the annealing or hot working process. It is essential that all traces of oxide and surface decarburization be removed by grounding or polishing all surfaces. Afterwards, parts are immersed in a 10% to 20% nitric acid solution followed by a water rinse. This is to ensure the removal of any residual Iron.
After this step, stainless steel 410S parts are generally considered able to undergo welding by common fusion and resistance techniques, though special attention is paid in order to avoid brittle weld fractures during fabrication and to minimize discontinuities.
The main difference between stainless steel 410 and 410S is that 410 is a basic, general purpose, martensitic stainless steel that can be hardened whereas 410S is a lower Carbon modification of 410 stainless steel, more easily welded but possessing reduced mechanical properties. 410S stainless steel can be easily formed by drawing, spinning, bending, and roll forming.
The corrosion resistance of ESM’s 410S stainless steel is similar to type 410. It resists corrosion in atmospheric conditions, fresh water, mild organic, and mineral acids, alkalis, and some chemicals. It requires proper cleaning after being used in order to continue performing at peak or near-peak levels after exposure to chlorides in everyday activities like food preparation or sports activities.
Applications using 410S Chromium ferritic stainless steel have considerably increased in recent years in chemical industries as well as oil or gas transportation industries. Experiments to determine phase transformation temperatures are ongoing to determine the alpha to gamma transformation temperatures for this alloy in different cooling conditions. Results will determine how 410S can be best used in these industries.
ESM supplies Type 410S stainless steel alloy in a number of different forms and sizes all of which meet some of the toughest international standards including, ASTM A 240 and ASME SA 240.
The ESM-Hampshire mill is one of the foremost stainless steel re-roll mills in the industry when it comes to delivering high-quality products on time at competitive prices. Even when the order has a short lead time, our customers know that they can count on us for reliable delivery of excellent light gauge stainless steel strip produced to precision thickness and widths in accordance with our customers’ specifications.

Holly Whitesides and Andy Bryant have been farming organically together since 2010. In the spring of 2012, they bought the land that would become Against the Grain, and in the 2013 growing season, they were introduced to Biodynamic farming practices. Growing food that nurtures a whole human being, body, soul and spirit, has always been a shared passion for Holly and Andy.
The Biodynamic approach provides a framework of principles that guide the farm's growth and development in a holistic way. Holly has been farming full time since 2012, and in October of 2014, the farm welcomed Beatrice Lytton Bryant to the family. In the spring of 2015, Andy transitioned to farming full time, which has allowed the farm to grow by leaps and bounds. The farm welcomed another family member, Corva Lucilla Bryant, in April of 2018. We hope that our love of the farm and our passion for growing nutritious food comes through in the products that we offer our community.

Fri., April 6, 2018, 6:30 a.m.
I now have a habit of referring to experts for nearly all of my decision making and guidance. I have nutritionists, goal coaches, business coaches, can-I-blame-my-mom-for-this coaches, cycling coaches, running coaches, and more. Some days, I even have to ask the barista what I should order.
I give them all the filtered information available to achieve the answer I want to hear. It rarely works because, as noted above, these people are experts and mostly roll their eyes at my silly attempts to outsmart history, business, and my body.
Yet, what I have found is that, despite all these experts, I am the only one who can really communicate and understand my body (or override its pleas for a rest day). This can be a problem because I’m a Norwegian of viking descent and they are not known as the most compassionate folk in history.
I recently injured myself doing something stupid. This is how most injuries occur, I have concluded. We are a species that (not accounting for climate change and mass shootings) is designed to preserve and perpetuate itself. Still, stupidity seems to override some of that genetic programming.
So when I was in Africa last week and told that I could not run outside of camp while on Safari, I decided I would just run super fast back and forth in front of my tent. It only took a few minutes for the snap-crackle-pop and inevitable hobble to arrive. I returned to the US with a limp and the impending doom of a 50km race a few weeks off.
“Rest,” said the experts. “For God’s sake don’t do anything fast, hard, or long,” said the experts. “I feel like you’re kinda asking for trouble. By kinda, I mean definitely,” said the expert. “You should consider withdrawing from the race,” said the other. They were all right but for some reason I needed to have that conversation directly with my body.
This is like the conversation couples are always having: You don’t hear me until I freak out like a psychopath on a caffeine binge with a laundry basket as my weapon.
It isn’t that my experts are wrong. It’s that I couldn’t quite hear my body because I was so busy asking them what they thought my body was telling me. They had good guesses and sound advice, but I needed to go out and listen to the source. I needed to give it an opportunity to speak. Or freak out, perhaps.
Like a married couple we trod up the dirt and then snow in conversation. Would my body be forgiving when I make mistakes? Would it be strong enough in my times of weakness? Would it desert me if I pushed it too far? Where the heck is that line anyway?
We found the sweet balance of harmony (or commiseration) over those next couple of hours. My body said, “If you feed me enough cookies and get me a massage after this, I will stay with you.” Which is pretty sound relationship advice for anyone, I might add.
Ammi Midstokke can be contacted at ammimarie@gmail.com, except on April 21st when she’ll be running 50 Km of mountain trails to celebrate her 40th anniversary with her body.

What is a blocked tear duct, and how do I know if my baby has one?
Blocked tear ducts are quite common in newborns. In fact, 6% of all babies develop a blocked tear duct in one or both eyes. Each of your baby's eyes has tiny tear ducts that allow tears to drain into the eyes. At birth, there is no guarantee that one or more of these tear ducts will be completely open, and even if they are open at birth they can become clogged during the first few months of life. When this happens, it can result in some redness near the corners of the eyes (towards the nose), and a build-up of goop/gunk in that same area. Sometimes you won't know that your baby has a clogged tear duct other than the fact that he or she is not producing any tears when crying! If a tear duct is clogged it is not allowing tears to release into the eye. The tears will then build up in the ducts and can cause an infection if not treated properly.
How can I help my baby's blocked tear duct?
First, use clean water on a soft cloth to wipe the goop/gunk out of your baby's eye. As an easy rule, do this every time you change your baby's diaper (or about 10 times a day).
Second, you can massage your baby's tear ducts. The tear ducts can sometimes become unblocked if you gently massage from the corner of the eye towards the nose. Use gentle pressure with a clean fingertip.
Third, you can place a couple drops of breast milk into the corner of the eye near the nose; do this 4-6 times a day, and you will be able to benefit from the antibiotic properties of your breast milk. Also, Ocusoft makes baby eyelid and eyelash cleaner, which can be very helpful.
Fourth, see your doctor! Advice on any website is no substitute for visiting your doctor and getting the advice of a trained expert! Your doctor can also advice you on additional treatment options, such as prescription ointments and manual draining procedures.

What programs do you use to keep you OS running as fresh and smoothly as possible?
Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by JeffColeman, Jul 31, 2006.
I do a lot of web browsing, download a lot of files, play a fair amount of games. I was curious what type of programs you use, whether for cleaning or upkeeping, to keep my computer running at it's fastest. I've heard of registry cleaners, i was curious if these really work, and what other types of programs there are out there to get rid of useless files and hidden crap that can keep a machine from running at full potential. I already use Ad-Aware for any spyware.
One of the best things is an uninstaller, which can completely remove all traces of an installed program. One such is Ashampoo Uninstaller Suite.
Here is a good list at this forum by one of our own and it is pretty good. If you are going to use any of this type of program I would suggest only running one program at a time to avoid the programs clashing while scanning.
symantec av, xoftspy, spybot 1.4.
I am working on the same problem and I found this site to be very good. Surfing on the internet today with Internet Explorer and Windows XP results in lots of popup ads, popup programs, virus, worms, trojas, etc and there are many fine freeware program and commercial software out there.
Here you can read about the programs and download them and run them. I run AVG antivirus (free), Windows Defender (free), Ewido anti-spyware (free) and there are more. I have installed new webbrowsers Firefox and Opra (trying them out) and use IE as little as possible to reduce security risc. Things like that.

Every day there is some new development in technology to make digital transactions more secure and simpler. So, almost every industry is experiencing new innovations and everywhere the aim is the same; to increase revenues. This objective and a drive to make our lives even simpler have generated the need for the emergence of cryptocurrencies. In this regard, it is important to discuss about Ethereum mining too. Using this platform, people can perform everyday tasks easily.
When we speak of mining, we refer to an intensive task which needs a high degree of processing and a lot of time. It is basically an act of taking part in a distributed cryptocurrency network. Miners are provided with rewards for finding solutions to critical math problems. For mining, you need computer hardware which then uses mining applications.
Data on transactions made in cryptocurrency have to be embedded in blocks. Every such block is internally connected to other blocks to form a block chain. The blocks must be evaluated quickly to make sure that transactions run smoothly. Since those issuing these currencies cannot handle processing of such data independently, you need miners. The miner is therefore basically an investor that will be spending time, energy and computing power to sort through these blocks. When their solutions are verified, issuers will hand them rewards. These rewards are nothing but part of the transactions that they helped to verify. The result of this activity is called the proof-of-work system and many currencies will depend on this while some others rely on a mix of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake systems.
The best way to use Ethereum is to mine it. But mining Ethereum is not only about increasing the numbers of Ethers that are in circulation. It is important to secure the network because it will build, publish and verify blocks within the block chain. Ethereum mining, simply put, is the process used for mining Ether. The Ether is needed to ensure a seamless operation of the Ethereum platform. So, Ether basically helps to encourage developers to build even better applications. The developer will make use of what are called smart contracts in the block chain. The supply of Ether is not endless; there will not be more than 18 million issued annually.
You can carry out Ethereum mining even within the comforts of your home. This needs knowledge of command prompts and script writing. It is simple and exciting at the same time. But, Ether mining is likely to consume a lot of electrical power. You can take the help of Ethereum mining calculators for calculating the profits. When you can carry out mining efficiently, you are likely to get more income produced by selling Ether. It is possible to mine Ethereum using personal computers. You only need a GPU or Graphic Card having 2GB RAM. The GPU is preferred as it is much faster than the CPU for mining Ether.
Ethereum mining works very similar to Bitcoin mining. Miners will make use of their computers for every block of transactions. They use their computers over and over again to guess solutions to puzzles quickly. So, the miner runs the block’s header metadata through hash functions and this returns a scrambled string of letters and numbers which impacts the hash value. When a miner discovers a hash which matches a current target, the miner is given Ether. When miner B finds this hash, miner A stops work on that block and repeats the same process on the next block.
Miners cannot cheat in this game and this is why the method has been called proof-of-work. A miner will be able to find a block in a matter of 12-15 seconds. When miners take more time or less time to solve puzzles, the algorithm changes by itself to readjust the difficulty levels of the problems. Miners will be able to earn Ether at random and profits largely depend on their luck and amount of computational power being invested in the process. The proof-of-work algorithm which Ethereum uses is “ethash”.
When you are a miner you are not likely to be able to mine the Ether independently. This is exactly why many miners join together their computational powers. They form a mining pool so that their chances of solving cryptographic problems become higher. They will then split the profit depending on how much computing power each of the miners has contributed.
Mining pools are not going to be around forever. Their computing power keeps changing. And this is why there are many factors involved in taking a decision as to which mining pool you should join. The mining pools will also have varying payout structures. There is typically a sign-up process and miners can thereby connect to the pools and start mining Ether. But the mining world will be dynamic; so tools which you have used today may not hold good the following year.

Centaurs Technologies launched the formal version of Vocal Warrior today, which is the world’s first voice-controlled mobile fighting game. The beta version of Vocal Warrior has gotten featured on the Apple App Store for over 50 times. In 2012, inspired by Siri, the voice-activated technology developed by Apple, Yi Wang, one of the founders of Centaurs Technologies came up with the idea to apply the voice interactive system to the fighting game. Wang said he thought the voice command can help the players to control the character better than touching the screen.
With that idea, Wang quit his job in China and came to America. In 2014, with three other founders, Wang set up Centaurs Technologies, a Chicago-based independent game development studio. Vocal Warrior is the first game the studio has released. Wang said the game is also inspired by one of his favorite fighting games, The King of Fighters.
In the game, the players play a boy called Macro. He is a descendant of Marco Polo, the most famous Italian explorer in the world. At the age of 10, Macro goes to China and learns martial arts from the best Tai-chi Master in the world. One day, a mysterious man behind a black mask murders Macro’s Master.
Macro’s mission is to kill the person who murders his master. The gameplay includes options such as casting spells, mastering new magic skills and acquiring new weapons, all with voice commands. The optimized voice recognition system enables the game to distinguish the background noises from the player’s voice. Additionally, the more players play the game, the better the game recognizes their voice.
Checkout the game on the Appstore from over here.

Bollywood is undoubtedly the biggest entertainment industry in the country, while poker on the other hand, is a niche industry, which is slowly finding its wings in India. We've often heard of the two integrating, with quite a few Bollywood celebrities being associated with the game of poker, either as ambassadors or as players too.
Minissha Lamba, Arjun Rampal, Sunny Leone, Anita Hassanandani, Rannvijay Singh, and others are a few examples of Bollywood entities entering the poker industry as ambassadors, while many others have entered as players too, like Shravan Chhabria, Harman Baweja, Chandan Dilawar, Siddhanth Kapoor, etc.
Now however, we're here to bring you news of poker getting into Bollywood, with Spartan Poker CEO Amin Rozani featuring in a latest T Series music video, launched on YouTube on 30th March 2019. Spartan happens to be one of India's biggest poker websites and Rozani is at the helm of this company.
Plot (Spoiler Alert): There is a plan in place for two highly dangerous gangsters to be trapped and arrested by an undercover cop. However, Rozani, known for his charming and charismatic personality, wins over and deceives the female cop, which leads to these 'most wanted' gangsters triumphing!
Very recently, another music video was released by 9stacks, a leading poker company that partnered with Independent Artists to produce ‘Hustle Hai’. For similar updates on latest poker content from around the country, keep following GutshotMagazine.com.

Historically, human society has gone through different forms of civilization, including primitive civilization, agricultural civilization, and now industrial civilization. Although industrial civilization has created unprecedented material prosperity, its excessive exploitation of nature has destroyed the equilibrium between humans and nature. With the development of society and technology, man has gained a deeper understanding of the value and significance of nature, realizing that the environment lies at the very foundation of human civilization. In this context, our school takes responsibility for cultivating talents with ecological knowledge and advanced technologies in environmental protection, thereby contribute to providing better services for human existence and social development.
Northeast Normal University (NENU), as one of China’s high-level universities designated as a member of the "211 Project" and the "Double First Class", has always shouldered the mission to cultivate outstanding talents, conduct high-level scientific research, and provide high quality social services to our nation. To meet the demands of social development and environmental conservation, the Institute of Environmental Science was established in 1978. After 40 years of rapid development and improvement in the areas of faculty cultivation, academic research and student education, the School of Environment (SE) of NENU was established in 2013. The school strives to live out our motto to "cultivate morality, commit to learning, seek truth, pursue excellence". We devote ourselves to achieving these goals of cultivating talents through "rational thinking, excellence, and innovative ability", thereby providing excellent talent and technological support for national ecological construction, environmental protection and sustainable development.
After a long period of growth and development, the quality of our faculty and their research achievements have brought our school to a level of international influence. At present, the faculty of our school consists of members who have been nationally recognized and awarded for their research by the Natural Science Foundation of China and by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. So far, the school has obtained research findings of more than 150 million RMB, supported by over 300 national and provincial-level programs, including the National Science and Technology Major Project, the Technology Support Project, and the "973" Project. The school has published a series of important academic works, including 500 academic papers, and more than 30 academic monographs, having obtained a number of academic research awards and patents, including 20 Scientific Research Outstanding Achievement Awards at the national and provincial levels and 80 invention patents and software copyrights.
Looking to the future, our school will further strengthen the management efficiency, increase our investment in research, and continually improve our educational quality, so as to rank ourselves among the national key disciplines.
Welcome to our school. We sincerely look forward to your support.

Even though today's young people are remarkable, not everything they face is remarkably perfect, though. Because of their rapidly changing world, technical stimuli, their eight-second attention spans, collective attitude and the constant bombardment of messages and information, Generation Zers can suffer from a sense of feeling lost and isolated in a sea of so much commotion, which often lacks human connections. Therefore, individuality, self expression, personal uniqueness and a desire to be noticed are huge essentials among today's young generation. It's no wonder that up there, with all their ongoing interests and accomplishments, is the tremendous value they place on being noticed as individuals. This sense of personal identity is where fashion plays, to a degree, a meaningful and cathartic role, since clothing is a powerful form of communication, personal expression and social connection.
What teenagers choose to wear and how they determine things to be worn (buttoned, backwards, mismatch, untucked or polished) are part of a bigger picture- the crafting of their brand, a personal statement - that reflects their spirit, symbolizes their voice and many times indicates a lifestyle. In fact, those who experiment with print mixing, playing around with proportions and adding the most unconventional accessories to their outfits are often trendsetters themselves - inventing their own styles, making a name for their self on Instagram and becoming subculture icons and fashion leaders among peers. Their personal identification or style can be a compilation of eclectic clothes, heavy makeup, piercing and tattoos or as simple as the t-shirt, bag, shoes and jeans they elect to wear on a given day- just four simple items- integral to one's identity and the making of a personal statement. With lots of style options out there, coupled with a pervasive non-judgmental attitude, this generation also boasts of style fluidity. What they wear one day does not have to be how they identify fashionably the next day.
As these creative, innovative assemblers of clothing devise unique pairings, everyone of them send their looks to friends through a plethora of apps hoping for a thousand “likes” and lots more followers. It's this cyberspace activity that has catapulted the five to seven (depending who you talk to) traditional clothing personalities into a burgeoning variety of Style Tribes and has made many young people become designers in their own right, blazing fashion trails without any input from designers. It's young people that have elevated streetwear into a Generation Z version of couture- perfecting what used to be everyday clothes into a preferred sick look that melds style and comfort with a hip twist of sophistication.
Never before has a generation led the way in fashion- owning it - and showing 7th Avenue how it's done. It's galvanic- a needed change- and Generation Zers are today's game changers.

I’ve read a few interesting reviews of Google’s Cr-48 Chrome OS notebook. It looks like the thing boots straight into the browser in about 10 seconds, and does EVERYTHING on the internet. In fact, if there is no internet connection, there is no functionality on the laptop.
It’s interesting that everything is going to the cloud. We had a brief discussion about it on the NoobToob Modcast Festivus episode recently. I have purchased several games on Steam and GOG, and I’ve generally been pleased with not needing to keep track of the box or the key. If I want to switch computers, all I have to do is pull it down from the cloud onto whatever machine I want. So far, I haven’t had any problems.
A close friend of mine recently told a story about how many of her e-mails were wiped out when a family member who “knows computers” came in and “fixed” her machine. Apparently, the e-mail software she uses pulls the messages from her ISP’s remote server, and once it does, they are erased on the other end.
This sounded so strange to me. I’ve kept my e-mails out in the cloud for nearly all of my internet experience, starting with Rocketmail and moving on to Hotmail. The only thing that I’ve had to deal with is Hotmail’s messages that are 5 years or older and not in a folder. Either way, I haven’t worried about losing the information with the loss of my machine. I backup my information locally, but I generally store it in the cloud.
By the way, some of you may recognize today’s image. It’s Kickle after he has rescued the princesses. I used it for my signature on the NoobToob forums for a long time, and I decided to take a break today and use it for my “clouds” theme. I’ll have new, fresh work up on Monday.

The fabled toy store FAO Schwarz placed its flagship retail space in the GM Building, owned by Boston Properties along with investors including Chinese billionaire Zhang Xin, on the sublease market, an executive at the commercial brokerage Cushman & Wakefield said at a media briefing this morning.The store, owned by retailer Toys “R” Us, is a longtime tenant on the 58th Street side of 767 Fifth Avenue, in the same building as the Apple store’s iconic glass cube.
The FAO Schwarz lease runs through 2017, according to Kathleen Waugh, a spokesperson for Toys “R” Us.
It was not immediately known what the asking rent was or when it would be available. CBRE declined to comment.
Cushman retail broker and executive director Alan Schmerzler noted the listing in the firm’s third quarter breakfast briefing in Midtown this morning.
CBRE Group agents Susan Kurland, an executive vice president, and Victoria Oliva, an associate, sent out the listing on behalf of FAO Schwarz earlier this week.
Boston Properties has another retail space in the building on offer. Formerly occupied by media giant CBS, it is located on the 59th Street side of the property.
FAO Schwarz renewed its lease at the building in 2011 after a period of speculation that it would leave when its lease expired in 2012.
Elsewhere in the retail landscape, Soho edged out Times Square for the neighborhood with the most vacant retail space, according to Cushman, which tracks 10 Manhattan markets.
Soho had 452,125 square feet of vacant space, or 9.8 percent of the market. Next was Times Square, with 411,769 square feet or 27.7 percent, followed by Lower Manhattan, with 270,278 square feet, or 10.2 percent, the Cushman figures showed.
Despite the high availability, rents in those markets continued to climb, Schmerzler noted.
“The law of supply and demand does not necessarily apply in retail,” he said during the briefing.
Over the past year, ground floor average asking rents in Soho have surged the most among the 10 trade areas, up 59.5 percent to $469 per square foot last quarter, from $294 per foot one year earlier, Cushman data showed.
A number of the city’s top retail investors have targeted the Soho market, including Jeff Sutton; Joe Sitt, CEO of Thor Equities; and Bobby Cayre, head of Aurora Capital Associates, who have all partnered on 529 Broadway. Other firms such as Madison Capital want to add more high-end space to the market.
Schmerzler told The Real Deal he did not think the large amount of space would lead landlords into a war to lower rents.
“There is enough [tenant] demand,” Schmerzler said.
David Zar, a partner at Zar Property NY, which owns property in Soho, agreed.
“Most landlords in Soho are well capitalized and will wait as long as it takes to land the right tenant and rent,” he said.
Others noted prices are rising in part because tenants are pushing to get in the area.
“Soho remains one of the most desirable locations for retailers, and most landlords in the neighborhood are inundated with offers for retail space in their properties, many times well before spaces are available,” Jared Epstein, vice president at Aurora Capital, said.
The total vacancy rate climbed last quarter to 10.6 percent, up from 10.4 percent in the prior quarter, the Cushman data showed. Asking rents ticked up as well, reaching $62.51 per square foot, up from $61.81 per foot in the second quarter.
Cushman’s Ronald Lo Russo, president of the tri-state region, said the office leasing market was performing better than those figures suggested.
“By all measures we are on track to have a very good year,” he said, adding that he expected to see more than 24 million square feet of new leasing, an annual level that is considered healthy.
