Vaan dreams of one day becoming a sky pirate, escaping the Empire on his airship. Then she meets Vaan, an urchin from the Dalmascan capital of Rabanastre. Though tempted to abandon all hope in the face of the Empire's might, her determination keeps her from succumbing before what would seem to be inevitable defeat. In her struggle to oust the occupying Archadian forces and restore freedom to her people, Ashe must watch as many of her allies pay the blood price for that freedom. Archadia's invasion and the subsequent death of the Dalmascan king prompted the Princess Ashe, the sole surviving heir to the Dalmascan throne, to take up arms against the invaders. ![]() The story takes place in a world called "Ivalice," in an age when magic was commonplace and airships plied the skies - the Archadian Empire, seeking to strengthen its base of power, had been invading and subjugating its neighboring lands one by one- a fate which befell the small Kingdom of Dalmasca.

![]() With proximity to major employers and retail offerings, the area is attractive to multifamily developers are increasingly looking to the suburbs for new opportunities, said Bo Flurry, senior managing director Newmark’s Birmingham office. ![]() Atlanta-based Novare Group is also building a new luxury apartment community across from The Summit as well (zoned in Birmingham city limits). The project is significant as it will be one of the first major new apartment construction projects in the 280-459 area since Vestavia Reserve, according to multifamily experts. Amenities will include a swimming pool with Wi-Fi sundeck and fitness center along with a top floor amenity area with outdoor deck, according to Davis Development’s website.Īrchitecture firm Geheber Lewis Associates is involved in the project, according to information from its website. It’s estimated to be a $50 million to $60 million project.Ī rendering shows a five-story development with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. In August 2020, the firm secured a $40 million construction loan from the Birmingham office of Renasant Bank, and Morrow Construction filed three building permits totaling more than $45.9 million in November, according to Jefferson County public records. ![]() The Stockbridge, Georgia-based company acquired the 9.75-acre site located at 3560 Grandview Parkway from Crowne Partners in 2019, as we reported. 280.ĭavis Development and its construction arm Morrow Construction is developing Inkwell on Grandview, a new luxury apartment community with about 274 units across from Grandview Medical Center.ĭavis Development did not immediately respond to request for comment. Another Atlanta developer is building new luxury apartments off U.S. ![]() Harvard's Joint Center for Housing predicts annual declines in renovation and repair spending of 0.4% by the second quarter of 2021. While homeowners may continue to do more projects throughout the fall, some experts predict spending will fall. Next was adding value to the home and, finally, making the home "feel more cozy." The top motivator was, "finally having the time," according to the report. More than three-quarters also said they plan to take on a new project in the next 12 months. homeowners said they had done some type of home improvement project during the pandemic, according to a recent survey by, another remodeling platform. Sheltering at home clearly influenced demand, as more than three-quarters of all U.S. "They have more confidence in their homes as investments." "We're also hearing that money that folks are saving from not going out to restaurants, not eating out, not going on vacations, those things are being saved and they're deciding to add that value back into their homes as an investment," said Sullivan. Justin Sullivan, who is also a contractor, says he is seeing more people use their home equity to fund these projects. "More property owners rose into equity-rich territory and escaped the seriously underwater lane, putting more money into the average household." "Homeowners saw their equity rise far and wide throughout the United States during the second quarter of this year in yet another sign of the housing market punching back against the Coronavirus pandemic," said Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM. That is 27.5% of all mortgaged homes in the U.S., up from 26.5% in the first quarter. Just over 15 million residential properties were considered equity-rich in the second quarter, meaning mortgages on those properties was 50% or less than the value of the home, according to ATTOM Data Solutions. Home prices continue to gain, despite the economic downturn, as demand for housing soars. Homeowners are likely getting extra incentive from the record high amount of home equity they now have. Home extensions and additions jumped 52%, and security and privacy also saw much greater demand with interest in fence installation and repairs up 166%. More people are cooking and eating at home, and kitchens are now even more the center of family life. Kitchen and bath have always been popular remodeling choices, but even those saw a 40% jump in demand in June compared with a year ago. "Over the past year we've made many significant additions and improvements to how our platform helps homeowners find and connect with the right professional for their project - enabling people to directly schedule video meetings with pros through Houzz Pro is just one example - and we're really seeing the impact of those investments in the number and quality of connections we're making," said Liza Hausman, vice president of industry marketing at Houzz. Much like real estate agents, remodeling professionals are now adapting to a new world of social and professional distancing. The stock is on pace for its best year since 2003. Poolcorp, an international distributor of swimming pool supplies, parts and outdoor living products, hit an intraday all-time high this week and is up over 54% year to date. Pool demand is so strong that even Wall Street investors are taking note. Not far behind, landscape contractors, deck and patio professionals all saw more than double the demand. Those working on outdoor spaces saw the biggest increase in demand, with searches for pool and spa professionals three times what they were a year ago. Houzz, an online home remodeling platform, reported a 58% annual increase in project leads for home professionals in June. The Sullivans are far from alone in their desire to create a retreat, even if that retreat is in their own basement. "The kids will have spaces to make sure they can work from home, and when it gets really hot in the summertime, they'll have a place where they can cool off." ![]() "The pool, the home gym, the sauna - those are things that when you're not able to go out, your house is an enjoyable space where you can live bunker-style and still be active, still feel comfortable, and still enjoy," said Sullivan. ![]() “It impacts everybody and makes them question everything that they’ve known for the past three seasons,” EP Aaron Helbing says. Whoever is revealed under that mask will certainly change the show moving forward. Of course, I know what’s going to happen, but it’s fun to watch fans just create labyrinths for themselves.” “I honestly just prefer to stay out of it and watch it all happen, like a mastermind just watching all the pieces collect themselves. Some theories have emerged that a future version of Wally could be the villain - after all, Savitar did say he created himself - or he could even be a future version of - twist! - Barry! “I love that our show is so involved that it can inspire people to come up with their own theories and conspiracies about what’s going on with the plot,” Valdes says. “Hopefully, if we’ve done our jobs right, you will be both shocked and also go, That makes perfect sense.’ So hopefully we’ve laid the groundwork for it all to make sense not just in the moment, but hopefully you look back and you realize how important it was for Barry to face this particular villain in his journey as a hero and how this season ties into all the others.” “When we have a masked villain, we do our best to subvert audience’s expectations,” Kreisberg says. ![]() So, who’s really under that mask? All involved are staying relatively mum. She has trouble doing that and when she does reveal what it is, it’s not something that Cisco sees coming.” “The tricky thing in is that what brings her over to our Earth and our reality is a secret from her past that Cisco spends most of the episode really grappling with her on and trying to get her to be open about. “She’s very protective of her own emotions and her own vulnerabilities, but I think the magic of the chemistry between the two is that Cisco can cut right through that and see her for who she really is,” Valdes says. ![]() However, bargaining with the villain may come with a price - more on that here.Įither way, the team will get an assist with the return of Gypsy (Jessica Camacho), whom Cisco (Carlos Valdes) hopes to further his relationship with. “Catching him could provide the key to Savitar’s identity,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. They may get help in that department with the arrival of Abra Kadabra (David Dastmalchian), a metahuman villain from the future. “They need to figure out who he is first,” Grant Gustin tells EW. While Barry was attempting to free Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) from the Speed Force during a recent episode of The Flash, Jesse Quick (Violett Beane) went toe-to-toe with this season’s big bad, piercing a part of his armor and discovering that he could actually be wounded, thus he can potentially be stopped. Now that Team Flash knows Savitar is not a god, but an actual person, the race is on to try to find out who’s under that armor. ![]() Note that I've written this answer on my phone, thus I couldn't test any of this and there might be minor typos. There are resources online on how to achieve this, for example from. ![]() Provide a custom Converter for your use case.Something along the lines of the following may work.

ChartDataExportMode parameter defines what data is exported: only the data used by chart ('specific'), all data in the data set ('raw') and a special mode for stock charts allows to export grouped data ('grouped'). Output formats are CSV and saveAsXlsx() (Excel file). You can also work with big data, APIs, and several development stacks, for example, PHP, R, React, and Node. I am working on a Spring Boot project in Kotlin. An圜hart provides several methods for saving current chart's data. ![]() I have concluded that it is time to move away from a centralised approach which is clearly failing victims. This is completely unacceptable and I while I have supported the Home Office in their work to reform the system it remains dysfunctional. In 2021 the average number of days a victim waited for a conclusive grounds decision was 568 days and some victims have been waiting since 2016 for a decision. The great weakness in the system is the decision making process which is subject to significant delays. I have been impressed by the compassion and dedication of those who provide support and while systems are not perfect, UK arrangements compare very favourably with those in other countries. Over the last three years thousands of victims have been identified and supported by charities and through the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract. Unlike previous years I have been unable to include comprehensive data tables because of the need to lay this report in Parliament before the end of my appointment. The plan outlined four priorities: improving victim care and support supporting law enforcement and prosecution focussing on prevention and getting value from research and innovation.

So Mario and friends took on this new quest, to defeat the King Koopa and prove who's the best! They went deep into space, met ghosts and pirates, but always on Bowser their keen sights were set.
