LOUGHEED LANDMARK UPDATE
  
April 25th marks a milestone for the Lougheed Landmark project.
We submitted a 3-in-1 application for OCP amendment, rezoning, and development permit.
We opted for the consolidated development application to streamline the process because we have all the required reports.
Just before the long weekend, the City responded to our application by scheduling a meeting for July 2nd.
Our proposed 35-storey tower includes 290 residential units of which 18 are affordable housing units and 10 are live-work units.
The ground floor daycare facility was revised to 74 children with 3 commercial retail units reserved for learning centers that can provide after-school care.
Updates can be reviewed at http://julyono.com, http://ocmi.ca, LinkedIn, or Facebook.
MARIE KONDO METHOD
My 89-year old mother is a classic hoarder because she grew up during the war and experienced deprivations that most North Americans cannot truly understand.
This means it is very difficult for her to let things go and I end up throwing things out when she's not around (not the ideal scenario).
We recently hired a Personal Assistant for her and Lynda has been tasked to help organize my mother's room starting with watching the Marie Kondo videos to prepare the way.
The KonMari Method is not so much about tidying as it is about discarding items that lack value.
We are starting with the basic folding method before launching into a full scale de-cluttering.
OPERA BROWSER
The Opera browser was created by Opera Software ASA, a Norwegian company founded in 1995.
The browser itself was initially developed as a research project at Telenor, Norway's largest telecommunications company, before being spun off into Opera Software.
Opera has built-in VPN, ad blocker, and uses less memory than other browsers.
I purchased a third party VPN service that expires next year.
Looks like VPN providers will be unnecessary if all browsers include it going forward.
