Donovan Singleton wants to create a Farmington cigar bar that will appeal even to those who don’t smoke cigars.
Singleton received city council approvals on Monday for a redevelopment liquor license with permission for Sunday sales, a Dance Permit, and an Entertainment Permit to open Loft Cigar Lounge at 33419 Grand River in downtown Farmington. He will also need an exemption from the State of Michigan’s smoke-free law, which prohibits smoking inside all restaurants, bars, and other businesses.
“My intent… is to have an open and welcoming environment for anyone who would like to smoke cigars but doesn’t know how,” Singleton told officials. “I’m looking to provide an atmosphere and space for the local community to come and congregate.”
The lounge will have seating for 50, with eight of those seats at the bar. Singleton said he won’t serve food, but will encourage his clientele to bring in food from downtown restaurants. He will spend at least $75,000 building out the space, which is a requirement of the redevelopment liquor license.
A military veteran, Singleton works for the Department of Defense and has a background in supply chain management. He and his wife Renae, who is expecting their first child, are Farmington Hills residents.

“My wife and I have frequented the downtown over the past year,” he said. “We realized it would be the perfect spot for this type of business.”
Council member Sara Bowman noted this is likely Farmington’s first cigar lounge. She asked Singleton how he would deal with the smoke. He said the state requires that smoke not encroach on neighboring facilities and has chosen to implement “smoke eaters.” They’ll clear the air between 14 and 20 times per minute.
“It’s a cigar lounge, it will be smoky,” he said, “but you won’t have any smoke in neighboring businesses or outside. I think even inside the space, you’ll find it comfortable to be sitting with cigar smokers.”
Council member Maria Taylor asked whether the lounge will have a dance floor. Downtown Development Authority Director Kate Knight said the dance permit is required because Michigan has strict standards.
“If you have a jazz trio in your establishment and someone is standing up at their table, that could be a violation,” she said. “It’s overkill, we just want to make sure they’re covered.”

When people see my work, I want them to find something they can connect to, something that evokes emotions, something they can still create a different story from, each time. Art for me is therapeutic and the perfect high! It allows me to be myself in a different poetic sense without writing a word. Photography on the other hand is where I showcase my feelings, though still vulnerably. It represents the box of surprises that endlessly amazes as it becomes more a teacher of what I see around me: the curves, the lines, the compositions, the lights, the relations, the emotions it evokes.
My name is Claire J. Saintil. I am Haitian; I am an artist, a writer, and a photographer. I have taken part in collective exhibitions, notably “Joy” at the Grace Institute Gallery where I was also one of the four artists on the panel discussion. I was the resident photographer for Brooklyn Music School (BMS) for many years, while still completing many private events, performances, VIP events, including the 2009 Armory Show “The Girls from Kyoto and other Japanese Contemporary Masters,” presented by Nancy Seltzer and Osaka’s MEM, Inc. Gallery at the St. Regis Residences. My work has been published in the New York Times, The Brooklyn Paper, Food & Wine's Home Lifestyle, "Haiti Uncovered" Coffee Table book, NAAHP for FLeurimond, Brooklyn Reader, featured in HaitiCulturalx.org, and as the Smithsonian.com Editor’s Picks (2009),to name a few. I have documented and I continue to collaborate with many notable figures in the Haitian Community living in NY, abroad, and others.
I love what I do,
and I hope you can join me on such beautiful journey by trusting me to capture your precious memories.

So I considered titling this post “Baby Sleep Fake News, LIES!” but thought that might be a little aggressive, and well, nutball sounding.
I also considered making this post a more straightforward explanation of our family’s approach to sleep, tips, what’s worked, what hasn’t, etc. (when there is an “approach”, trust me, in the beginning with both kids it’s pretty much just been wherever, whenever, however, and a lot of praying, and tears).
But here’s the thing. I realized that by putting a post like that out into the universe, at least without a big old disclaimer, it would sort of be contributing to a problem I myself have had to reckon with, which is the mountain of sleep misinformation, aggressive sleep advice, and sleep momsplaining (definition of momsplaining for those of you unfamiliar, from definithing.com: when you didn’t ask for her opinion but she gives it anyway and it’s rude af. or just acting like i’m dumb in general.)
I’m pretty sure there is NOTHING on earth more demoralizing than searching online for “baby sleep tips.” It is particularly demoralizing when you do it at three in the morning with a screaming baby in your arms and you haven’t had a good night’s sleep in days, or weeks, or months.
Actually, there is one thing more demoralizing. And that is reading a sleep BOOK at three in the morning. Which book you ask? Because there are quite literally dozens, nay hundreds of tomes dedicated to the sleep habits of tiny humans. It doesn’t matter. ALL OF THEM. They are all well-intentioned guilt bombs waiting to explode all over your inadequate soul.
Oh, how I did this with Ryland. I lived for it. I read the books. I read every website. I did it all.
It’s taken me two babies, and a lot of time, and maybe some intense therapy (okay not really, but I probably could have benefited from it after my baby sleep-related PTSD) to finally have a little clarity. Now, don’t get me wrong, even on baby #2 I still obsess far too much about sleep, particularly right now in the midst of sleep training. But I have realized that there are a lot of myths and misinformation out there about baby sleep, and all of it can seem designed specifically to make parents feel bad. So I thought I’d do my part to help clear things up:
Myth #1: Some newborns are perfect sleepers from Day 1, because they’re “good” babies.
Reality: Here’s the thing about newborns. Almost universally, they do something I like to refer to as coma sleep. For the first 3-4 months of their lives, they don’t sleep the way adults sleep, which is to cycle through sleep cycles and wake between. They just pretty much pass out like drunken frat boys whenever and wherever. You could have a 100 piece marching band parade through the nursery and they would sleep through it. You could take them to a Justin Bieber concert filled with thousands of screaming girls, and they would sleep through that. It has NOTHING to do with them being “good” or their parents being #blessed. It’s just biology. The newborns who don’t sleep like that are either colicky or having issues with feeding (either mama milk problems, which are super common, or reflux or gas). They’re not “bad.” They’re not trying to ruin your life (though it can seem that way). I know I found myself, and still find myself, saying a lot that Bobby is such a “sweet”, “easy” baby. And that’s all true. He slept A LOT in the beginning, like hours at a time during the day, to the point where I sometimes had to wake him up to eat. And I kind of feel terrible for how often I described him as “good,” because it’s just plain wrong to think that babies who sleep well are somehow morally superior to those other rotten, high maintenance diva babies who try to destroy their parents’ lives. I’ve had both of these types of children now. I can emphatically say that they both sometimes try to ruin my life. And I love them equally for it.
Myth #2. If your baby sleeps well in the beginning, it’s all smooth sailing from there on out.
Reality. See above, re newborn coma sleep. Oh sweet, naive first-time parent dummies (I can say that because I was the biggest dummy of all). I see or hear so many people in those early months say things like “my baby is such an awesome sleeper” or “she slept through the night already!” And I smile and nod and try not to rub my hands together and cackle maniacally. It’s such a mean system, the fact that right around 3-4 months, babies lose their collective minds. It’s called a regression, but really it’s a sleep IMPLOSION. It all falls apart. Because they fundamentally start sleeping in a much, much different way. So long marching band. So long Bieber concerts. They like, need quiet now. And darkness. And white noise. You go from letting them sleep in a sun-filled room with the TV on and possibly a mariachi band to a dark, silent, sound-proofed panic room you’ve installed in your basement, where the slightest noise made by your dog or toddler or husband is enough to send you into a full-blown panic.
I really think someone, somewhere, should prepare parents for this. No one wants to be the guy to tell a new parent that their life is going to get significantly worse in 4 months, but somoene should right? Because what happens now is that parents get all smug and cocky and think they’ve cracked the newborn sleep code, and maybe they should write a sleep book or at least a sleep blog, and then the 4-month sleep regression hits and EVERYBODY LOSES THEIR MINDS.
Anyway, my point is, be prepared. Just because your baby sleeps well in the beginning and starts sleeping through the night, do not think this is your new way of life. And if your baby sleeps horribly as a newborn and you look around at all these other semi-rested parents and want to cry, just know that the universe has it in for them too.
Myth #3. You need to start a sleep schedule ASAP. Like preferably in the hospital. Eat. Play. Sleep. Big time. 24/7. You may literally be getting stitched up in the recovery room, but you better get on the EASY train (for the uninitiated, Eat. Activity. Sleep. You/mom time) or you will miss the window and your baby will NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.
Okay, in the spirit of full disclosure, I do like a good schedule. Anyone who knows me knows I’m not exactly a laid-back Sally. I’m more of an OCD Carol. I have Eat. Play. Sleeped both of my babies (within reason, I have never been a Easy Nazi, because life is just too short, people). But, and this is a big old bootie BUT, in the early weeks and months with both of my children, I have not remotely cared about EASY-ing things up. Because newborns cannot be scheduled. No really. No, I don’t care if Susan on website A tells you this is possible, or if Beth over on the sleep forums got her kid on a rigid schedule when they were 6 hours old. That’s either luck or coincidence or them literally Weekend at Bernie-ing their poor baby and making them “play” when they are passed out asleep because THE SCHEDULE SAID TO DO IT. Newborns are basically one evolutionary rung away from jellyfish. And trying to schedule a newborn is about as effective, and frustrating, as trying to schedule a jellyfish. Just leave them be. Let them sleep when they want to sleep, eat when they want to eat, and poop when they want to poop! I get it, type A mothers of American. It is incredibly frustrating to accept that there is a new human living in your house who is going to do whatever they darn well please, whenever they darn well please, like you’ve just agreed to room with a Real Housewife.
I get why so many people so desperately try to schedule their teeny tiny babies. You want some semblance of order in a life that has suddenly become a vast, chaotic wilderness. But if you’re frantically swinging your baby around the room after they eat to get them to “wake up” instead of just enjoying the lazy Boppy snuggle time, something is clearly not right. And the something is not your poor baby.
Myth #4. The only people who co-sleep are granola, hippie weirdos who also practice attachment parenting and breastfeed until their children are 13.
Sure, this may occasionally be true. But the much more common explanation is that people who co-sleep are just TIRED, and it is literally the only way their babies will sleep, especially in the beginning when some babies want to snack all night long. As someone who strongly believes in epidurals and vaccinations and CIO sleep training, I don’t really think I fit into the hippie, granola mold, but guess what? I have co-slept twice now! And both times it saved my sanity. It’s not some big parenting philosophical statement. It’s not a way of life. For most people, it is literally just letting your baby sleep in bed with you because you’re exhausted and for that moment in time, it’s working. And a lot more people do it, especially in the beginning, than most people realize.
Myth #5. Cry It Out sleep training is going to turn your baby into this guy.
Yeah, those scary studies are BS. You certainly do not have to go the cry it out route. There are other methods. But if you do choose to do cry it out, know that it is not going to hurt your child or turn them into a sociopath or serial killer or politician. The big twist is that pretty much any child raised before like 1998 probably cried it out to some extent. Because that’s before the internet made it a thing. I’m pretty sure that parenting forums are directly responsible for why there is even this big, huge controversy, why it’s even a topic of conversation now. In the past some parents did it and some didn’t, but no one really discussed it or analyzed it or made other people feel bad for doing it or not doing it. Can we maybe go back to that golden era?
Myth #6. Some babies can learn to fall asleep independently without a little Cry It Out, or without driving their parents off the deep end.
Okay, I know I said we should stop talking about this. But I do have to clarify this one myth. With Ryland, I put off Cry It Out for a LONG time. I tried a lot before we did it. And looking back, the only thing all of those gentle no-cry methods really accomplished for us was almost recreating this exact scene but between me and my baby at 10pm after hours of unsucessful attempts at the Put Down Pick Up method.
I also affectionately refer to this sleep training method at the Drive Mama Insane in Slow, Painful Increments and Also Completely Mess with Your Baby’s Head. I kid. Kind of. I realize that for some people it works. Just like any other number of “gentle” methods, like the whole sit in a chair in further and further distances from your kid’s crib or sleep on your kids’ floor or rock them to sleep until they graduate from college. But for some babies, stubborn strong-willed ones like mine, it’s just not gonna happen. It’s either co-sleep forever (which some people sort of do, and hey, if that’s your thing, GO FOR IT, it sounds snuggly) or cry it out. So I’ve chosen cry it out, because we already sleep with a 75-pound golden retriever in our bed and a permanent baby addition just took it to Willy Wonka levels of crowdedness.
Myth #7. Your baby should and will take predictable, long naps.
Out of all the misinformation out there, this is the one I always had the hardest time getting past. I would just stare at those sample baby schedules online, and shake my head in bewilderment. Right now, per many of these sites, Bobby should be taking 3 (2 hr) napes per day, down from 4. It’s easy, says these sites. Just follow the SCHEDULE. Wake up at 7, nape from 8;30-11. Awake until 1. Nap from 1-4. Catnap again at 5. Then bedtime. Bam. Uhhhhhh.
Am I the only one who reads these schedules, looks at my baby, and then wonder if I got sent a defective one from the factory. Because he’s a “good” baby. We’ve sleep trained him. He falls asleep after being put down awake. We do all that song and dance. The white noise and the magic sleep suit, the hypobaric chamber in his room, the shaman to do the pre-nap blessing. ALL OF IT. And this child still takes 30-minute catnaps half the time! And so some days, he naps like 6 times. Twice the number of naps! I would love if he took 3 chunky naps, but it’s just not happening, and Ryland was the exact same way. So yeah, your kid is going to nap at his or her own pace and timing. The end result for all children is the same and eventually, they will whittle down to one afternoon nap. It’s really not worth stressing out about how they get there. Let them sleep when they are tired. The end.
It’s your fault if your baby won’t sleep.
Um, can we stop with the parent blame when babies suck at sleeping? I used to beat myself up SO much about this with Ryland, because every time I made the mistake of googling sleep, the results were usually unanimously telling me I was screwing it up. I had obviously missed her SLEEP CUES and she was overtired. Or I had the audacity to leave the house and mess up her “schedule.” Or I wasn’t giving her the proper sleep environment. Or she had fallen asleep while I nursed her 5 weeks prior and that had ruined her for life.
There are certainly some mistakes parents can make when it comes to sleep. Maybe don’t blast ACDC through the baby monitor by mistake. Or slip them an espresso shot in their bottle. But when it comes down to it, it’s really victim shaming right? Parents are victimized by their babies who refuse to sleep, and then the internet makes them feel bad about it! We don’t need your judgment, internet. Stop telling us all the things we did wrong Becky! We just want a shoulder to cry on. And someone to tell us it will all be okay.
Once your child sleeps through the night once, you’re set.
Reality: Ummm, I really hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but nope. So very untrue.
There is a right or wrong way to do this.
This is perhaps the biggest myth of all, and it’s why so many people have gotten rich off of telling people how to get their kids to sleep, why “sleep consultant” is an actual profession now. Yes, there are tips and advice that are helpful to parents. Yes, there is information in these books I mock that is legitimately useful. Same goes for the forums and websites. I’m not trying to make people feel bad for looking to these sources for advice, because I’ve done it myself, SO much. But what negates any useful information offered in these places is usually the message that a certain method or style is right and other ways are wrong, that there is a way to screw this up, that if you choose wrong your kid will never sleep again.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in my short stint as a parent so far, it’s that every baby is different. What works for your family may not work for the family down the street. What works for one kid within one family may not work for the next kid. Babies, despite their mysterious natures, are tiny humans at the end of the day. And like all humans, they are distinct people with their own habits and quirks. There is no right or wrong here. No matter what anyone tells you, baby sleep is not science. It’s much more akin to an improv exercise, only all the improv players are sleep deprived and slightly unhinged.
You’re going to have to find out what works, and try things that won’t work and try things that will. You’re allowed to change your methods, change your mind. Your kid might sleep in the crib or in a swing or in your bed or sometimes, on those really tough nights, in your arms. They can sleep in a swaddle or in a poofy sleepsuit or naked as the day they were born (although a diaper would be advisable for obvious reasons).
You can schedule them or let them tell you what they want and when. You can consult a sleep expert or a spiritual guru or your mom. You can make charts and graphs and spreadsheets, or you can just kind of wing it and hope for the best. You can plop down over $1,000 for one of those fancy Snoo things that supposedly get any baby to sleep and possibly get them into Harvard too. Or you can stick them in one of those free boxes hospitals send home.
There is no magic answer, no one size fits all solution, as desperate as we are for one. It all boils down to the simple truth that babies are unpredictable and kind of suck at sleeping from time to time (even the “good” ones). Eventually, they’ll find their way. They won’t need to be rocked to sleep in high school.
Just do you. Trust your instincts. Be okay with changing your mind. Remember that your baby isn’t actively trying to ruin your life. And know that all of those experts out there, the people who write the books and websites, at one point they were just desperate, exhausted parents too. And they probably screwed things up a lot.
We’ll all make it to the other side. And until then there is ALL THE COFFEE. Just all of it. Forever and ever amen.

When Olympic athletes start “going for the platinum” we’ll know the marketers have won. Because gold is good, but as any credit card holder knows, platinum is better.
Years ago, credit cards used to tout their “gold-card membership.” And who wouldn’t want to be a gold-card member? It was an exclusive club, based on annual fees, income, spending patterns, etc. Being a gold-card member used to mean something. But then too many people qualified for the gold card, so they came up with a new standard: the platinum member.
Almost overnight platinum became the new gold… or platinum. Now you have a card you can really feel good about. You’ll earn more points, and have more benefits, most of which you don’t even know exist and will likely never use anyway. But at least you’ll go into debt in style.
Marketing folks love to make something out of nothing. That’s how they justify their jobs (no offense to you marketers, keep up the good work). Everything is “extreme” this or “sport” that. And, as consumers, we eat it up. We don’t just want an espresso; we want a double-shot espresso. Why settle for a value meal, when you could have the “super” value meal?
Right now, a gold medal still means something. But as soon as they add a platinum category—watch out. We’d have more winners, more promotion, and Michael Phelps would have a new world medal record to break. It’s all about perception.
The moral of the story? Don’t be fooled into thinking that a “higher level” card makes you a better or more important person. Choose a card based on things that actually matter such as low or zero annual fees and lower interest rates. Getting a higher level credit card in order to feel more important just makes you a “super-sized” sucker.

"And when that I had geten unto me/By maistry all the sovereignetee . . . After that day we hadden never debat!"
Wife of Bath, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
From Chaucer to Apatow, men have always wanted to know what women want (In the bard's case, it was "mastery" over men). So The Ugly Truth is a pleasant summer breeze which looks at what men are and what they want. It's a romcom with witty moments (too few for me):
Mike: You're all about comfort and efficiency!
Abby Richter: What's wrong with comfort and efficiency?
Mike: Well nothing, except no one wants to fuck it.
Its philosophy gently reminds us that although men are from Mars, women may like that just fine, and, whoa, they may not want "maistry."
Katherine Heigl (Abby) is not quite as bright as she was in Knocked Up, but she is as uptight and controlling. Gerard Butler (Mike), the current rage of chick-flick audiences briefly replacing Colin Firth, is not as lovingly attentive as he was In P.S. I Love You.
Although both actors play at a screwball comedy's fast-paced lingo that's not up to the literate caliber of say, His Girl Friday, the attempt is worthy given the paucity of witty comedies this year.
The restaurant scene where Abby has inadvertently worn vibrating panties remotely controlled by an unsuspecting kid at another table is amusing (showing Heigl's chops) but misses the impact of Meg Ryan's fake orgasmic scream in When Harry Met Sally.
Abby is a wound up morning show TV producer faced with supervising a new talent, Mike, whose cable show The Ugly Truth has a big audience that loves his frank talk about men's libidinous natures and women's manipulation. She hates his macho routine, and he tries to change her into an attractive woman. Do you think they'll fall in love? Silly of me to doubt your insight.
While the whole movie is a cauldron of clich?s and expectations, it has a core of truthfulness about the misperceptions between the sexes. It may confirm the suspicion of some like me that hard-core controlling women could soften their "mastering" gene, and men could, well, shift slightly into less lecherous and more sensitive Martians.
It's summer fantasy with ugly truth that goes down as unevenly as a warm gin and tonic.

Developing Panama Real Estate by Hiring a Panama Home Builder
In Canada and the U.S. there are certain steps and procedures which must be accomplished in an exact order before completing a construction project on raw land. Knowing this process will help you understand what is necessary for a Panama builder to complete your real estate construction project.
Here are the required steps to build a home in the U.S.:
1. Surveyors will stake out the site’s boundaries.
2. Heavy equipment will be used to clean the site.
3. A cement crew along with plumbers and electricians will build forms, lay conduits & pipes, pour footings, lay the foundation and slab.
4. Carpenters will build the house frame followed by plumbers and electricians installing the wiring and water pipes.
5. Roofers will build the roof.
6. The windows, doors, and inner walls will be erected and installed.
7. Cabinets will be installed.
8. Finish carpentry will be completed.
9. Painters and tile workers will paint the walls and ceilings and install tile floors and showers.
10. Carpets will be installed.
11. Occupancy Permit will be obtained.
12. The owners can move in.
Knowing these steps allows you to contact Panama builders to interview them and ask what the steps they will take to build your Panama home.
References are very important especially in a foreign country. Ask around in the Panama expat community and Panama expat internet forums for their experiences with building their Panama homes. It is better to get feedback from foreigners than locals because expats can be treated differently and have higher standards and require different home features and amenities than locals.
What experience with building homes for expats is something you can ask Panama builders when you interview them. The more experience working for foreigners will garner more expat references which you need to contact to hear about their experiences with each Panama builder.
Important things to know regarding building a home in Panama:
Cement Blocks: Most Panama homes are built using cement blocks to resist earthquakes rather than hurricanes or floods. Traditional foundations and wood frames found in North American homes are rare in Panama.
While labor is cheap, supplies are not. Panama laborers are paid a minimum wage of around $2.14 an hour. While the raw essential building materials (sand, rocks, trees, materials for cement) exist in Panama they are not being extracted. Many building materials are imported which makes them more expensive than in countries with steel mills, lumber mills, rock quarries, sand processing, etc.
Buy all of the necessary supplies upfront. Make sure your builder purchases all of the supplies needed for the project early to avoid price increases or unavailability. The same goes for equipment which may be rented out due to the large amount of construction projects occurring throughout Panama.
Safety is a problem on Panama construction projects. The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issues rules and regulations for the worker’s safety. Every year a number of Panama City construction workers die on the job due to safety violations.
Estimates are not exact: If supplies and materials for the project are not purchased upfront expect prices to rise by the time they are bought. The estimated time to complete a project in Panama can change due to weather (heavy rain, strong winds) and availability of equipment.
Lack of tools of the trade: In the U.S., Canada, and in Europe the construction workers own their tools and arrive to work with the necessary hand tools of their trade. Not so in Panama. Expect that the cost of buying hand tools to be added to the construction costs.
Staying on Budget: You need to be on top of the supplies, equipment and tool purchases and rental prices to make sure you are getting your money’s worth.
Foreign builders are hard to come by because Panama’s builders are a close knit community which makes it hard for expat builders to make an impact in this industry.
Panama Labor Laws: Panama is very strict when it comes to paying social security taxes, vacation pay, sick leave, and other employee benefits. The Ministry of Labor send out inspectors to construction sites to verify that all laborers are signed up with social security giving them social security medical/ health insurance coverage in case of an accident. Some contractors pay their laborers with cash avoiding the required social security payments. If they get caught they will be fined. Otherwise, a construction worker can file a claim with the Ministry of Labor for not having their social security payments and other benefits. If the contractor doesn’t pay, then they go after the property owner. To protect yourself when hiring a Panama builder make sure the contract specifies it is the builder/contractor’s responsibility that all social security payments and benefits are provided for every worker and you are indemnified from that responsibility.
Knowing all of this makes it imperative to ask the right questions when interviewing a potential Panama builder.

General Motors Corp.'s planned launch of the highly anticipated Chevrolet Volt in 2010 is "a stretch" even though the automaker has not hit any snags in its development of the rechargeable electric car, the automaker's chief executive said Tuesday.
Rick Wagoner said the automaker's initial tests of a new-generation of lithium-ion batteries needed to power the Volt had been favorable.
"From the beginning, going for 2010 was a stretch, and it's still a stretch, but we're putting resources like crazy into it and we haven't seen anything yet that says we've hit a glitch on it," Wagoner said at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The Volt represents GM's bid to beat rival Toyota Motor Corp. to the market with a hybrid vehicle that can be recharged at a standard outlet and to win back consumers who have abandoned the Detroit-based automaker's brands because of concern about fuel economy and the environment.
Toyota is working to develop a rechargeable or plug-in version of its market-leading Prius hybrid but has said that the battery technology will not be ready for market by 2010.
Wagoner said the Volt development effort was far more complex than the usual process of turning a concept car into a production model, which typically takes three to four years.
In addition to the standard vehicle engineering, GM is working with suppliers to develop a new generation of lithium-ion batteries, which have been long used in devices such as cellphones, to power vehicles.
At the same time, GM engineers are scrambling to figure out how to run vehicle features such as satellite radio and air conditioning without cutting into the Volt's planned 40-mile range on battery power alone.
"On the battery side, we're progressing very well, and we're basically pushing the technology needle to do everything we want to do from a technology that is emerging rather than developed," Wagoner said.

I may or may not have forgotten how many “parts” are in our vacation saga. Regardless, this is the end of the trip. Are you ready for an adventure?
If you’ve forgotten, we just left Positano behind with all of its not sleep and late-night hotel searches. We got on the ferry to Capri with time to spare and gladly made our way to our favorite spot on the island–the Orsa Maggiore in Anacapri. It’s a splurge, but it was our favorite honeymoon hotel, and it was just as wonderful this time around.
Our favorite spot at the hotel (a.k.a. the pool) looks like this:
After a night of sleeping in the car and a day of adventuring up and down lots of stairs, the sunset/pool combo was the ticket. Something about the island is just ten times more relaxing than anywhere else I can think of. We still had our Capri sunset happy faces on the ferry back to Positano the next day:
This was the plan for the day: first ferry Positano, drive from Positano to Zurich, stay in a cute but inexpensive hotel, go to the airport the next day for a noon-ish flight home.
This is what happened…
The first ferry of the morning wasn’t until 10 (or 9:50?) in the morning and was also not a direct ferry to Positano. By the time we got back to our car, I think it was at least 11:30 or noon. We weren’t worried yet.
Our drive was supposed to take eleven and a half hours, which would put us in Zurich at 11:30 at the latest. Our hotel check-in ended at midnight. Still okay.
Scott drove and drove and drove. There were no problems or wrong turns or anything. In fact, it was a pretty good road trip.
I’m usually prone to falling asleep while a passenger, which is not what you want your navigator to do. But not this time. This time, we created an economy of ants and scratches, and that kept me awake and helpful.
What in the world is an economy of ants and scratches? Well, Scott loves to receive head scratches and arm scratches and back scratches, and we had about two hundred ants that found their way into our car while it was parked in Positano. I started smushing ants left and right, then I figured it should be a winning activity for me and for Scott. So each smushed ant equaled one unit of arm or neck scratches for Scott. He could redeem his scratches whenever he wanted, but if he left them until the airport, all remaining units came back to me.
Stupid game? Yes. Effective? Surprisingly, also yes.
So Scott is driving, and I’m killing ants (which got more challenging after dark). Then we got to the longest tunnel in Switzerland–the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
On the way down, it was open. On the way back, it was closed for repair, adding an hour or two of steep mountain roads to the drive. It was also dark and rainy.
Poor Scott. By the time we got through the pass, we had given up on our Zurich hotel and opted for a quick roadside nap instead. Then we hit the road one last time.
As we were getting close to the airport exit in Zurich (2 AM-ish), a car pulled in front of us. There was no one else on the road so that seemed a little bit odd. Then that car started flashing words at us from the back window. Kind of like this:
It was an unmarked car, and I believe the phrase was “Bitte folgen polizei.” Lucky for us, it translated into English after a few rounds of German. “Please follow police.” We had a very tired discussion of whether it was a general warning or a specific request, and the car pulled over. We pulled over just in case it was actually police.
Long pull-over story short, it was the most polite interaction I’ve ever had with police of any nation. They were just checking on us because it was 2 AM, and no one is really out on the road at that time of night. They wanted to make sure we were okay. Nice Swiss polizei. We made our way back onto the road and to the airport, where we settled in for a 10-hour wait.
Scott is skilled in the craft of sleeping in public, but I’m not so great at that. I opted instead to read The Fault in Our Stars in one sitting. That wasn’t my best choice ever.
The book was a freebie at our Capri hotel (yay for the Take One/Leave One book area in the lobby), but I should have known better. Reading an entire book about teenagers with terminal cancer after a day like that? Definitely a mistake. Next time, I’ll go in search of a book about cute puppies who like cuddling next to pretty flowers or something.
Anyway, Scott and I left Switzerland feeling like we had failed at the whole vacation thing. But you know what? After a few months, it has gained a glow of adventure and lost the pain of no sleep. There was definitely more fun than sad. In retrospect, I declare our trip a total success.

UPDATE (photo added): Women from Cheshire, CT, including the CDTC, are in Washington, D.C. today and at other supported rallies and marches for the Women's March On Washington
Many Cheshire Democratic Town Committee women and others from Cheshire are joining the Women's March On Washington today, a global event with the main event in Washington, D.C.
Many women in Connecticut overall and women nationwide are making the trek to Washington, D.C. today (Saturday) to take part and show support for the Women’s March on Washington. Their passionate desire to support women’s rights, their desire to show support for human rights, and their concern with the impact of a Donald Trump administration on the future of the United States are among the driving forces motivating these women to march in Washington, D.C.
According to the event's website at www.womensmarch.com and Facebook event page at http://bit.ly/2eKDgj2, the rally is a way to "send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights." Combined, as of Monday 377 “sister” marches will be held in each state and throughout the world on the same day, including the Connecticut Women’s March scheduled to be held in Stamford and rally in Hartford.
According to the event's website, over 1,800 buses nationally have asked for parking permits and have committed to going to the event in Washington, D.C. Amtrak is booked up as well.
Earlier this week five women from Cheshire who are also CDTC members - former Cheshire Town Councilor Diane Visconti, Kerrie Dunne, Cheshire Board of Education member Anne Harrigan, Renee Barley and Connie Catrone - sat down for a round table discussion to discuss why they are marching in Washington,D.C. today. If you missed it, check out their story at this link - http://bit.ly/2ivls24 .
When Dunne, Barley and Harrigan arrived in Washington, D.C. this morning they met up with U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty of Cheshire. Esty and other Connecticut Democrat U.S. representatives plan to host a reception later today for all Connecticut people marching in Washington. Later in the afternoon, Barley and Harrigan also met up with comedian and The Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper.
Visconti, Dunne, Harrigan, Barley and Catrone and others from Cheshire will be sharing their experiences and emailing this blogger with photos from their march and rally. Photos will be added to the above slideshow throughout the day.
Others from Cheshire marching in Washington D.C.today are Elizabeth Morin and a large group of women from Temple Beth David, including Cheshire Board of Education member Marlena Soble.
CDTC Policy Committee chairwoman Judith Slisz and her daughter Rebecca are in Boston, Massachusetts today taking part in marches and rallies there to take part in that city's Women's March On Washington event.

Five women, One voice: 5 Cheshire women are among many from Cheshire, CT heading to Washington, D.C. on Saturday to show support at Women's March On Washington
Five women, One voice – Renee Barley, Connie Catrone, Kerrie Dunne, Anne Harrigan and Diane Visconti of Cheshire are among the many women in Cheshire, the many women in Connecticut overall and women nationwide making the trek to Washington, D.C. on Saturday to take part and show support for the Women’s March on Washington. Their passionate desire to support women’s rights, their desire to show support for human rights, and their concern with the impact of a Donald Trump administration on the future of the United States are among the driving forces motivating these women to march in Washington, D.C.
CHESHIRE, CONNECTICUT - At least five women from Cheshire are planning to be among the hundreds of thousands of women who plan to go to Washington, D.C. on Saturday to show support and take part in the Women’s March on Washington.
According to the event's website at www.womensmarch.com and Facebook event page at http://bit.ly/2eKDgj2, the rally is a way to "send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights." Combined, as of Monday 377 “sister” marches will be held in each state and throughout the world on the same day, including the Connecticut Women’s March scheduled to be held in Stamford on Saturday.
Cheshire residents Diane Visconti, Kerrie Dunne, Anne Harrigan, Renee Barley and Connie Catrone are all on the same page on why they feel strongly motivated to make the trip to Washington and take part in the main march.
They can’t pass up the opportunity to show their disdain for Trump, his rhetoric and his divisiveness along with the chance to show support for women’s rights and human rights in general.
At a round table discussion on Sunday at Cheshire Coffee with Visconti, Dunne, Harrigan, Barley and Catrone, they agreed this worldwide event isn’t simply a rally or a march, it’s a movement.
“When it comes to progress, when it comes to human rights, you don’t stand still, you don’t go back, you move forward,” Barley said. “I’m attending this march for my kids, Alvin and Andrea - one is a millennial and the other a Gen Xer. This is about their futures. We live in an aspirational, multi-cultural country and what we saw from the Trump campaign this past election cycle wasn’t respectful of that.
“I’m a child of the 60s. I know what it’s like to take part in other marches. I had to do something. All humans are created equal, but we still have women who struggle. Women represent more than 50 percent of the country’s population and we need to step up. The Women’s March on Washington is an opportunity to do that on Saturday.”
On Nov. 8, when Donald Trump pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the political world and was elected president, there were mixed emotions.
Trump won the election with 306 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton’s 232. While the 62,979,879 people who voted for Trump were happy (many were ecstatic), the 65,844,954 who voted against Trump were stunned, and many are still reeling from the result.
On Nov. 9, Teresa Shook of Hawaii created a Facebook event page and invited 40 of her friends to march on Washington, D.C. to protest Trump's election. Similar Facebook pages quickly followed and were created by Evvie Harmon, Fontaine Pearson, Bob Bland, Breanne Butler. Those Facebook pages and others quickly led to thousands of women signing up to march. A domino affect ensued, the Facebook page creators joined forces, organized and the Women’s March on Washington was born.
“This past election was so divisive with so much anger,” said Dunne, who will be wearing her pussyhat at the event. The “Pussyhat Project” is a nationwide effort to knit pink hats to be worn during the Women’s March on Washington. The hats are named because of the cat ears on top. “The election left me with a very sad feeling for our country.
“This march in Washington is a chance to show unity with all of us who are going there. Women should be treated with equality and dignity. I hope being a part of this event brings back the good feeling I used to have.”
Connecticut’s Democrat U.S. Representatives Elizabeth Esty, Rosa DeLauro, John Larson, Joe Courtney and Jim Himes will meet with Connecticut marchers at the Women’s March on Washington. They have extended an invitation for a reception they will host for Connecticut residents who march in Washington, D.C. from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the 2165 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I'm proud to be joining hundreds of thousands of folks from Connecticut and across the country at the March on Saturday,” Esty said. “Democracy works best when all of us make our voices heard and that's more true now than ever before.
“We must stand up for our American values. We must stand up for the Constitution and we must stand up for the rights and dignity of all people. The March on Washington and those around the country on Saturday will put both Congress and President-elect Trump on notice. The American people will oppose any effort to roll back the rights of women or to roll back the civil rights that heroes like John Lewis and so many others have fought for throughout our history.”
Based on the number of buses that have permits to park in Washington, D.C., the indications are the number of people expected to attend is growing for the Women’s March on Washington.
According to Internet reports, including the Washington Post’s website, there are 393 bus permits for Trump’s inauguration compared to 1,200-plus bus permits for the Women’s March on Washington. Nearly 200,000 participants are expected for the Women’s March on Washington with the potential for a million marchers nationwide as participation numbers grow as the event day approaches.
“This march isn’t just about Trump or Trump’s people,” said Harrigan, a member of the Cheshire Board of Education. “And it’s not just about women’s issues. This is about respect for all human beings. It’s about being supportive of all people and all the issues when it comes to human rights. We can have disagreements but we can still support each other.
“You don’t get that from the Trump camp. It matters what Trump says, what he Tweets. As president of the United States of America, he can’t continue to degrade people. The reason I’m going to the march is to do my part to see that respect comes back into our lives, to see that human rights in general are shown respect.”
Connecticut media outlets have reported that over 80 buses are expected to leave from the state for the Women’s March on Washington. While Visconti will be driving to Washington, D.C., Dunne, Harrigan, Barley and Catrone will be taking one of the 16 buses expected to leave from the IKEA parking lot in New Haven at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.
“Donald Trump is very frightening to me,” Catrone said. “We’re at huge risk of having very many institutions of our country dismantled. I also feel terrible about his cabinet nominations like Education Secretary (Betsy DeVos) and Health and Human Services Secretary (Tom Price).
“Another thing that frightens me is Trump’s desire to end Obamacare. My daughter and I are both on Obamacare. I’m self-employed and have been on Obamacare. Because I’m self-employed I think I would not be insurable without Obamacare. I’m going to Washington because there is a lot at stake.”
According to its website, the Women’s March on Washington will begin with a rally from 10 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the intersection of Independence Ave. and Third Street near the U.S. Capitol. The march will follow after the rally. Among the celebrities expected to attend are Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, Cher, Debra Messing, and Julianne Moore.
“I’m going to the march because you have to stand up to a bully,” said Visconti, a former Cheshire Town Councilor. “Trump is the bully-in-chief. Doesn’t it bother you that this guy got to the highest level in our country after constantly insulting people and professing his love of (Russian president Vladimir) Putin?”
In an effort to get people to participate with other people from their own state at the Women's March on Washington, colors have been assigned to each state for people to wear. Connecticut has been assigned the color purple and everyone from Connecticut going to the march are asked to wear something purple.
You can still join the march in Washington, D.C. or the Connecticut march in Stamford. For more information, go to the Women’s March on Washington Facebook event page, or their website, or the march’s Connecticut Chapter Facebook page at http://bit.ly/2iJnb2W .
As inauguration day, Jan. 20, approaches for President-elect Donald Trump, Americans nationwide are anxious to see what a Trump presidency will look like, wondering what will actually transpire under his leadership.
Trump has many goals and has surrounded himself with an interesting group of cabinet selections and group of advisors. Those goals and the "Trump team" along with Trump’s love of Twitter will likely make life interesting for us all on a daily basis the next four years.
Here is one prediction I am extremely confident with after Trump is sworn into office. He has many plans and goals in his first 100 days as president. But I predict that within that time anywhere from 1-3 members of his new cabinet and maybe an advisor or two will resign. During the campaign it took Trump three shots before he got his campaign manager right.
If you look at all the strongly opinionated people with egos and contradicting personalities that have been tabbed, cabinet and advisory clashes are bound to happen. We get a short glimpse of those clashes now with the constant media reports of unrest and clashes among Trump’s transition team and its advisors.
I also predict throughout Trump’s campaign, I’m talking about at least once a week, there will be at least one Tweet (more likely multiple Tweets) that will get Trump in trouble. Hopefully, if that happens, it will be a Tweet that strictly impacts Trump and not the entire country in some way.
I predict the wall that Trump promised throughout his campaign, an actual solid wall that everyone envisions, will never be built along the Mexican border. Something might be placed there, something affordable and cost-effective, but not an actual wall. I think the most that will be established is an increase in border patrol help.
I predict, and we are seeing the problems reported now, that throughout his presidency Trump will be dogged by consistent conflicts of interest with his business ventures and investments. He has suggested he will separate himself from his business empire to avoid any conflict of interest. I believe in the next four years there will be at least one major presidential decision or move by Trump involving a global or domestic issue that will favorably impact his business. And as a master of loopholes, Trump will probably do something that is ultimately considered legal.
I predict that Trump will not win his “war” with the media. The media giveth and the fact-based media taketh away. When it comes to politics, the media, whether it’s social media or mainstream media (newspapers, CNN, network news, etc.), made Trump what he is today – president-elect. But mainstream media news outlets are fact-based and will continue to fact-check the consistent false statements and inuendos that come from Trump and the Trump camp.
The media can also be relentless when serving and informing the public. Trump was so smug and confident he had the media wrapped around his finger, calling out the media at his rallies. But when the “Access Hollywood” video surfaced, the electronic media played it over and over again. All the media entities analyzed it over and over again to the point where it contributed heavily to the momentum that was in Hillary’s favor. While the Trump camp will likely continue the mantra of never letting the facts get in the way of a good story, the media will continue to do its normal job of fact-based reporting. That means putting the presidency and all the actions of president-elect Trump under a microscope, whether his staunch and blinders-wearing supporters like it or not.
My last thought in this blog….
I can’t wait for Jan. 20, 2017 to arrive because that is the day Donald Trump will be sworn into office. And on that day, we can start counting down the days to the next presidential election on Nov. 3, 2020. And when Trump seeks re-election, he will have to deal with a growing demographic. It will be the first time all members of the millennial generation – the 18-45 age group - will be eligible to cast their vote for President. According to Internet reports, that age group is expected to represent 40 percent of the eligible United States voters in 2020.
Millennials will likely wonder - is there another Bernie Sanders out there?

The Aran Islands is an amazing place for wildlife.
The Cooku can be heard from the end of April onwards through to May and June. You not only have a good chance of seeing the cooku but hearing them together in unison. You will also witness Swallows at the start of summer, the House-Martins, Curlus, plenty of Pheasants, along with different types of Seabirds along the cliff edges, including Gannets. There are also Lapwings which are also called Plubbers, including golden Plubbers which are in an area of the Inis Mor island all of their own. You will also find the smaller Plubbers, ringed Plubbers, Herrons and a Herron league where they all nest in one place on the island. You might occasionally see a Perawinged Falcon whom breed on the cliffs on Inis Meain, and you might see other types of bird of prey as well. It is an amazing place for wildlife in itself.
There are other types of living beings on the island, The butterflies are various here and there are some experts who may be able to help you if you require more information . If you are lucky you might also see a Stote. Otters who live along the coastline are hard to see as they come out at night. You will find pleanty of rabbits (no Hairs or foxes) . You will also come across lizards sunning themselves on the rocks in summer whom are a very ancient species of animal.
We have the most amazing wild flowers because the landscape is similar to the Burren. The beautiful Gentian comes out in April, as well as not only the primroses but the cowslips and even the oxalic , the bloody cranes-ville, birds for trefoil, and beautiful examples of fuchsia growing all over the island. If you are into flowers the Aran Islands is a mecca especially if you come in May. So all in all the wildlife is wonderful especially if you get the fine weather and have a good look around. Bring your binoculars with you or your magnifying glass or camera and make the most of it.

I love spending the Fourth of July on the Outer Banks. Yesterday, we were on the beach all day in Nags Head. The kids played, I caught a few waves on the surfboard, and we had a great day at the beach.
At 9:15pm, we watched the fireworks in Nags Head. The fireworks were shot off from Nags Head fishing pier. I love how the length of the pier was used to create a unique show. Enjoy the video of the finale: Continue reading

Was owner of the below-the-line agency
Jon Furie, president and owner of below-the-line agency Montana Artists, died July 18 in West Hollywood. He was 48.
Furie purchased Montana Artists in 2003 from founder Carl Bressler, who had started the agency in 1989 to represent dp’s, production designers and costume designers. The agency later added editors, line producers, vfx supervisors and other below-the-line categories.
Bressler hired Furie, who had been an independent producer, in 1996. Furie rose through the ranks and, at the time of his death, was handling features and television for the Sunset Blvd.-based agency, which employs a staff of about 20, including eight agents.
“Jon is the best below-the-line agent I ever met,” said Bressler. “He consistently demonstrated… intelligence, integrity and aggression in unrelenting support of his clients. His kindness and caring touched hundreds of clients, competitors, buyers, family members and others… none will ever forget him.”
“I knew Jon for a decade and negotiated with him on the feature-film side,” said Matt Birch, whom Furie hired from Endgame Entertainment earlier this year as Montana Artists senior veep, features. “Everyone knew him for his integrity and honesty. The plans he put into place will continue to affect hundreds of people in this business in a positive way.”
He is survived by his wife Karen, two children, his father, his mother and eight siblings.

Anheuser-Busch InBev appears prepared to launch another Mexican import in the U.S., this time 95-year-old "craft" brand from Baja California called Cerveza Mexicali.
The St. Louis-based brewer on Oct. 15 received approval from the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for labels of the 4.5-percent alcohol-by-volume Mexican lager, which will be packaged in both 12-ounce cans and 12-ounce bottles.
ABI acquired the brand in November 2015 via a subsidiary of Grupo Modelo in a deal that included the craft breweries Cervecería Mexicana and Cervecería Tijuana, according to Forbes Mexico. In addition to Cerveza Mexicali, Cervecería Mexicana owned brands such as Pilsner, Mexicali Light, Mexicali Dark, Day of the Dead, Red Pig, Chili Beer, Rio Bravo and San Miguel. At the time of the transaction, those brands were marketed and sold in Mexico as well as in parts of the U.S., Australia, Japan, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain and New Zealand.
It is unclear if Cerveza Mexicali is available in the U.S. today; its one-time U.S. website, mexicalibeer.com, is inactive, and its social media channels are largely dormant. The brand's Mexican website also appears largely untouched since 2015.
The brand got its start in 1923 in the Baja California town of Mexicali. After about 50 years, the brewery closed, but the brand was picked up by Cerverceria Mexicana and brewed at its Tecate brewery. The Pilsner is "lightly fragrant and spritzy" with "more special hopping than others" and added crystal malt to "enhance its character," according to a description posted by an Arizona distributor in early 2015.
If it hits the U.S. in 2018, it will become the latest of a spate of new imports introduced here this year, joining the Australian brand 4 Pines, Spain-based Cervezas La Virgen and fellow Mexican craft import Bocanegra.
Like Bocanegra, which was introduced in Los Angeles and New York, Cerveza Mexicali was part of ABI's Mexican shopping spree in 2015 and 2016, which also netted Cucapa.
It will be imported by St. Louis-based ABI subsidiary Import Brands Alliance, the unit that also imports Stella Artois, Estrella Jalisco and Leffe, among other brands.
An Anheuser-Busch spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The company has not revealed its plans for the brand, but it has said it plans a major investment in another Mexican import, the more mass-market Estrella Jalisco. Its moves with Mexican brands come as the market for Mexican imports continues to flourish.
Mexican brands such as Corona Premier and Corona Familiar have been fixtures on the Nielsen Top 10 Growth Brands lists this year, helping boost the brand franchise up 8 percent year-to-date in sales volume, per data through Oct. 13. Modelo Especial, meanwhile, has pushed the Modelo franchise up 13 percent.
MillerCoors brand Sol, which relaunched earlier this year with a new marketing campaign and updated packaging, has likewise been on a tear, up 171.2 percent year-to-date.

So we're studying inflation in my macroeconomics class and we have to talk about an item that has gone up in price in 50 years. With Louis Vuitton, they rise in price by what? 5% every 6 months or so? Do any of you ladies, or gentlemen happen to know how much a Speedy or other iconic Louis Vuitton bag cost that many years ago? Thanks!

April of House by Hoff shares how she turned two black mirrors that were long forgotten in her basement into “pretty white nautical delights.” April refabbed her mirrors by simply spray painting them white and then adding rope around the circumference. I love how April was able to take some old and outdated and turn […Read More]
Patty from Our Adventures in Big Ole Texas had been wanting a really cool mirror from CB2 for her oldest son’s room. Unfortunately, at $149 it was way out of her price range. After over a year of using 40% off coupons at Hobby Lobby, Patty finally collected enough mirrors to assemble her own for $15. Just like her inspiration, Patty plans to make several of the mirrors to group together on the wall.

Hi and thanks for the fav. It was some time ago so I'm not sure but I believe it was a some dock menu stripped from everything else and left with only this workspace switcher thing (probably AWN). Cheers
Sure In the conky.sh file you can actually see the directory structure. You need to put the conky.sh in your home folder (for example). You can make it hidden by renaming it to ".conky.sh" so that you don't see it every time you open the file manager. After that you create a hidden folder ".conky" with the following structure ".conky/black_transparency/" and you put all the files there (actually the entire extracted directory). And finally you start the thing by executing the bash file:
You will need to adjust some other things but I encourage you to read the readme file.
I do had a question, though. I have a dual monitor setup and presently the "top bar" gets loaded up on the primary monitor. I'm having a hard time setting up the conky config to load this on my second monitor (on the right). Any ideas?

- The next government is likely to include up to five parties, posing an elevated risk to its stability, while protracting the adoption of legislation related to healthcare, education and taxation.
- Other policy priorities are likely to include improving the country's anti-money laundering framework and strengthening the banking sector.
- Latvia is likely to maintain its strong pro-NATO and pro-EU orientation and keep its defence spending at 2% of GDP.
Latvia held a parliamentary election on 6 October, resulting in the centre-left opposition Social Democratic Party "Harmony" (Sociāldemokrātiskā Partija "Saskaņa": SDPS) winning 23 of the 100 parliamentary seats. Due to its pro-Russian stance, Harmony is likely to remain in opposition, with the next government maintaining a pro-NATO and pro-EU policy course.
Seven parties entered the parliament as opposed to six in the current legislature. Harmony is generally supported by the country's ethnic Russian minority, which makes up around 25% of the population. The party, led by ethnic-Russian mayor Nils Ušakovs, won most of the votes in the last elections in 2011 and 2014, but was left outside the ruling coalition, above all due to its co-operation agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party. Harmony terminated the co-operation with United Russia in 2017 and attracted prominent figures from outside the party, such as former economy minister Vjaceslavs Dombrovskis, ahead of the election. However, it seems that this was not enough to resonate with voters outside Harmony's core constituency, with the party losing one seat after the vote.
The parties To Whom Belongs the State? (Kam pieder valsts: KPV LV), established in 2016 by actor and radio host Artus Kaimiņš, and New Conservative Party (Jaunā konservatīvā partija: JKP), founded in 2014, became the second and third most popular parties respectively, both securing 16 parliamentary seats. KPV LV and JKP based their pre-election campaigns on opposition to political corruption.

This is a story that I will always carry with me in my heart. Never before have I gone through something like this with another dog. It is a story that no one have read before. For many years have we been posting about Athena, how people treated her badly in the past, broke her heart and gave up on her.
AWL rescued her but she had to live alone, first in her own pen at LegaProAnimale, then in a “well decorated” garage waiting for the volunteers to come and love and pet her. She was always so full of love, and also with much energy since she was a mix with Pittbull and Boxer. But always, even though with broken hearts did her little tail-stub wag for us.
Some people told us to put her down to sleep, “it would be better!” Better for whom?
Everyone who met her liked her, but no one adopted her. One US Marine even confessed to being “scared” of her. I even contacted one of the worlds best clairvoyent people Benny Rosenqvist to ask him “Say something about the future for Athena.”
He told me that he saw a farm for her, and she would love it. With future telling there is no time-line revealed. We had to trust and be patience.
We always felt guilty and sad when entering into Athena’s home in the basement garage, I petted her head saying “please honey be patient we will find you a home.”
She is old, maybe 10 years old, no K9 teeth (ground down probably because she was a ‘training aid’ for fighting dogs) but the biggest heart, and we wanted a home for her before she would die. In Sweden I am well known for my work as an animal comunicator and my books. One day Minna Lind contacted me since we had had contact with each other 20 years ago. She has a rescue organization that helps animals in Romania and we had much in common. (She also has a cat hotel). We talked and I told her about my concern about Athena, no one for 2 years had been able to give Athena a forever home. Minna told me she would put a picture on her wall. It took less than 2 weeks and we got 3 interested, people. Suddenly from Germany too. I could not believe this!
We made the decision that a woman named Ullamai up in Sweden would be a perfect match and Minna called and talked to her.
Ullamai and her farm with horses and cats sounded like a dream, and I made the promise I would sponsor everything, the trip to Sweden her passports and shots. Athena was worth everything for a bright loving future. I drove the whole way from Napoli, Italy to Malmo, Sweden (24 hours), and Sara who picked up her own dog in Italy was with me in the car helping with walking Athena. Later in Sweden Sara drove Athena the rest of the way up North to where she lives and Ullamai could pick Athena up from her.
The love and concern the family are giving to Athena is wonderful. Ullamai said “It breaks your heart to see how much she want to please us.”
Athena, my tears are falling down out of love when I see the pictures of you in your new home, and the people who finally see you and give you what we wanted you to have. A home full of love, now you are home, Athena. We love you so much and you had so much patience. You are the most amazing dog I ever met.
Minna Lind, we are forever thankful and you have been nominated for an AWL Animal Friend Award 2012.

Several family members were on scene and witnessed the incident.
For the second time in two days, the Allegan County Sheriff's Office responded to a fatal car crash.
One individual died and another was seriously injured at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14 on 10th Street near 110th Avenue in Gun Plain Township.
The crash remains under investigation by the sheriff's office, but deputies at the scene reported a disabled vehicle with a flatbed trailer was on the side of 10th Street at the time of the incident. Two subjects were working on the vehicle.
A second vehicle, traveling northbound, did not see the vehicle or trailer and clipped the back of the trailer, Capt. Chris Kuhn said in a press release. The second vehicle sustained significant damage, but the occupants suffered only minor injuries.
One subject who was standing on the trailer was seriously injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment. The second individual working on the disabled vehicle suffered "obvious fatal injuries and was deceased on the scene," Kuhn said.
Several family members of the victims were on scene and witnessed the crash.
The question of visibility is still under investigation, along with the incident itself.
The second vehicle's occupants were wearing seat belts and alcohol does not appear to be involved. The names of the involved individuals will be released in the future.
The sheriff’s office was assisted at the scene by the Michigan State Police, Gun Plain Fire Department and Wayland EMS.
On Wednesday, Sept. 13, a man died in a fatal crash on US-131. Alcohol was a factor in that crash.

Confessing Jesus Christ as only Savior and Sovereign Lord over all of life, we affirm the basis of the fellowship of Presbyterian and Reformed Churches to be full commitment to the Bible in its entirety as the Word of God written, without error in all its parts and to its teaching as set forth in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, the Canons of Dordt, the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms. That the adopted basis of fellowship be regarded as warrant for the establishment of a formal relationship of the nature of the council, that is, a fellowship that enables the constituent churches to advise, council, and cooperate in various matters with one another and hold out before each other the desirability and need for organic union of churches that are of like faith and practice.

For more information on how Mu Studio can help with your
Functional, Fuzz and Scale Testing, contact us
and we'll get back to you.
What is MuSL?
MuSL (Mu Scenario Language) is a canonical Domain Specific
Language that we use in Mu Studio to represent
complex transactions between multiple hosts using multiple transports and
layers. The language itself borrows constructs from numerous languages and
was designed to be protocol friendly.
Functional testing, especially with a parametrized scenario,
involves executing each test case one at a time to identify failures, if
any and reporting on it. Studio Verify
enables you to execute MuSL for functional testing.
Fuzz Testing is a software testing technique that provides invalid, unexpected or random
data to the inputs of a program. Studio Fuzzautomatically generates 100's of 1000's of negative test cases from
enables you to take the exact same MuSL transaction and run
them concurrently so you can simulate 100's of 1000's of users or flows.

The Definitive Guide to r programming homework helpR is really a immediate implementation from the S programming language which is shared with lexical scoping semantics, which might be motivated by a programming language identified as through the name of 'Plan'. The programming language S was to begin with designed by John Chambers at Bell Labs, though R language was developed by Ross lhaka and Robert Gentleman.
This training course is a daily life/work changer for me. Within just two weeks of taking this class, I had been able to produce considerably more instructive plots than I ever had ahead of. I am inspired to get additional lessons and understand about I can concerning this great new globe. Regarding Data.
I'd personally contend that this Bayesian Computing class (together with other Statistics.com classes I have taken) has extremely fantastic benefit. I've gotten a great deal education for comparatively small cost... the assistant Instructor's comments was incredibly helpful.
The conversation Together with the lecturer was excellent, the book is great, the web e book product on software program is incredibly helpful as well as lecturer put many hard work into a synthesis of the publications contents each 7 days. This was definitely the top course I took at stats.com
This course is for you if you want to master R by carrying out This training course is for you personally if you like enjoyable worries
Certainly one of the most important matters in R: how to apply mathematical functions to every one of the parts in a very vector.
This course is pleasurable and exciting, but simultaneously we dive deep into Equipment Studying. It is structured the following way:

If Kirill can expand his course a bit on statistical solutions or some regression procedures, It could be an ideal introductory course. Good study course Total. I can see myself endorse this system to other students Sooner or later. Keep up the brilliant educating Angle Kirill! College students Also Acquired These Courses
The study course, Introduction to R Programming Portion Two, taught by Joris Meys was Great!!!All the class materials had been particularly helpful in making it possible for me don't just to grasp the main points of R programming but will also to realize a good standpoint on the basics of R coding.
is definitely the “danger tolerance”: functions to attenuate portfolio variance and performs To maximise portfolio return
This program will enormously lead to my get the job done as an environmental facts scientist and division director. This system was an incredible introduction of the way to use R to suit the styles and the way to interpret the R output!

|New England States||Connecticut||Simsbury|
Simsbury was incorporated in 1670.
A 1935 account of the first water system says: "The earliest community water besides the usual wells, which almost every homelot had, was provided by a project commenced early in the nineteenth century. Contracts were let for supplying logs which were bored by horse power and laid end-to-end, conveying water from a spring on Branch (or Grimes) Brook a mile and a half to the houses on Hopmeadow Street. The pine logs soon burst and decayed and the enterprise failed." No other information has been found about this system.
The Simsbury Water Company was incorporated in 1868 and built a gravity system that began service around 1873. The company was dissolved in 1956.
The Village Water Company of Simsbury was incorporated in 1903 due to the inability of the inability of the earlier company to provide satisfactory service. This new company built another gravity system.
The Village Water Company of Simsbury was bought by the Aquarion Water Comopany of Connected in May, 2000.
Water is provided by Aquarion.

Pages 167-168: The Simsbury Water Co. and the Village Water Co. of Simsbury
The earliest community water besides the usual wells, which almost every homelot had, was provided by a project commenced early in the nineteenth century. Contracts were let for supplying logs which were bored by horse power and laid end-to-end, conveying water from a spring on Branch (or Grimes) Brook a mile and a half to the houses on Hopmeadow Street. The pine logs soon burst and decayed and the enterprise failed.
In 1868 an act was passed incorporating "The Simsbury Water Company". By 1872 water was being supplied to stockholders on a basis of one three-quarter inch connection for every five hundred dollars' worth of stock. The water was taken at first from a reservoir on Branch Brook and later from the running brook above. It was led through iron pipes along the same route as the old log pipes of several decades previous. The leading spirit in the enterprise was Horace Belden and at his death his management had conserved the tidy sum of some twenty thousand dollars, the income from which is used to maintain the system. The present control of the company is in the estate of the late George P. McLean. Many people in Hop Meadow still use the water but supplementary connections are gradually being made with the Village Water Company. The present General Manager is Mr. E. A. Betts.
Owing to the inadequacy of the old water supply both as to pressure and amount, it became necessary to organize a company with an adequate financial structure to carry out the new construction of dams and pipe lines required by the growth of modern Simsbury. The Village Water Company of Simsbury was organized, therefore, by act of the State Legislature in April 1903. The leading spirit in the enterprise was Lemuel Stoughton Ellsworth. The original incorporators were George P. McLean, Lemuel S. Ellsworth, William H. Whitehead and Joseph R. Ensign. These men, with the addition of A. T. Pattison, comprised the first directorate and L. S. Ellsworth was the first president. The management of the company in the ensuing years has been in the hands of public-spirited citizens who have given freely of their time and services without remuneration. A small dividend is paid the stockholders in return for the use of their capital.
The first dam and reservoir was constructed by T. H. McKenzie in 1903 at West Simsbury on Stratton Brook and was called the Stoddard Reservoir. It has a capacity of 1,600,000 gallons. The auxiliary Case reservoir was built about 1913. In 1922 the company bought out the West Simsbury Water Company and built a large dam and reservoir of 40,000,000 gallons capacity near the source of Hop Brook. The engineers on this work were Buck and Sheldon of Hartford. A modern aeration, filtration and chlorination plant is equipped for treating the water in accordance with state requirements. The quality of the water is notably pure and sweet. The customers of the Village Water Co. are on the meter system.
The company grosses approximately $18,000 annually from which expenses, interest and dividends are taken resulting in a small loss each year. Total assets amount to $255,000 of which the capital stock is $117,000. In 1934 the company's mains were extended south from Hazel Meadow to Weatogue.
The present directors and officers are: H. E. Ellsworth, Pres. ; J. E. Ellsworth, Clerk; J. R. Ensign, Vice Pres.; G. S. Hart; O. P. Case; C. R. Seymour, Treas.

It has recently been Dementia Action Week and across the country organisations have been raising awareness about the disease, how it affects people who are living with it and the support that is available within the community.
On the afternoon of the 19th May we hosted a virtual conference with guest speakers from the Alzheimer's Society, Natwest Scam Awareness team and Kingston Carers Network amongst others.
The afternoon was a great success, and following feedback from those who attended, and some conversation with the Kingston Carers Network, we have decided to run regular sessions for people in the community who would like to learn more about dementia.
If you, or anyone you know, has any questions about dementia and would like to know more then please do get in touch. You would be so welcome to attend one of our workshops, or even just have a chat over the phone. For more information contact [email protected].

Spike protein of the new corona virus is more flexible than expected
New findings on Sars-CoV-2 protein shed light on virus’ ability to infect cells
In order to infect cells, the virus needs the spike protein on its viral surface. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics, the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and the Goethe University Frankfurt, have analysed the spike protein in its natural environment using high-resolution imaging and computer-based methods. In the process, they have gained surprising insights, including an unexpected freedom of movement. The findings could help in the search for vaccines and medicines.
At the start of a Covid-19 infection, the coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 docks onto human cells using the spike-like proteins at its surface. This protein is at the centre of vaccine development because they trigger an immune response in humans. Therefore, a group of German scientists, including members from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, the Max-Planck Institute of Biophysics, the Paul Ehrlich Institute, and Goethe University Frankfurt focussed on the surface structure of the virus to gain insights for the development of vaccines and of effective therapeutics to treat infected patients.
The team combined technologies of cryo-electron tomography, subtomogram averaging and molecular dynamics simulations to manage the analyses the of molecular structures of these spike proteins in its their natural environment, on intact virions, and with near-atomic resolution. Using EMBL’s state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy imaging facility, 266 cryo tomograms of about 1000 different viruses were generated, each carrying an average of 40 spikes on its surface. Subtomogram averaging and image processing combined with molecular dynamics simulation finally provided the needed important and novel structural information from these spikes.
The results were surprising: The data showed that the globular portion of the spike protein, which contains the receptor-binding region and the machinery required for fusion with the target cell, is connected to a flexible stalk. “The upper spherical part of the spike has a structure that is well reproduced by recombinant proteins used for vaccine development,” explains Martin Beck, group leader at EMBL and director at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics of Biophysics. “However, our findings about the stalk, which fixes the globular part of the spike protein to the virus surface, were new.”
“The stalk was expected to be quite rigid,” adds Gerhard Hummer, from the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and the Institute of Biophysics at the Goethe University Frankfurt. “But in our computer models and in the actual images, we discovered that the stalks are extremely flexible.” By combining molecular dynamics simulations and cryo tomography, the team identified the three joints – hip, knee and ankle – giving the stalk its flexibility.
“Like a balloon on a string, the spikes appear to move on the surface of the virus and thus are able to search for the receptor for docking to the target cell,” describes Jacomine Krijnse Locker, group leader at the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the results. To prevent infection, these “balloons” are targeted by antibodies. However, the images and models also showed that the entire spike protein, including the stalk, is covered with glycan chains – sugar-like molecules. These chains provide a kind of protective coat that hide the spikes from neutralising antibodies. Another important finding on the way to effective vaccines and medicines.

Digi Times — Quanta Computer and Wiwynn will exhibit 19-inch rack servers compatible with OCP (Open Compute Project) standards, as well as other server models based on Intel’s Rack Scale Architecture (RSA), in a bid to tout direct-sale orders from enterprise users during Computex 2016, according to industry sources.
PRNewswire — SAN JOSE: OCP was held at the San Jose Conference Center. As a server vendor with comprehensive strength in the Chinese cloud computing market, a cloud computing specialist with number one shares in the Chinese market as well as a sales volume and R&D capacity that ranks in the top five in the world, Inspur’s participation in this distinguished event not just represents further communication with the media and industry peers, but also exhibited Inspur’s comprehensive cabinet server SmartRack, the Tissot 860G3, the HPC and other high-performance core products and solutions.
Telecom Asia — Operators including EE, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, SK Telecom and Verizon are joining a new OCP Telco Project, which will work as an open forum to help the OCP more effectively serve the telecoms industry. The open forum will aim to communicate the technical requirements of telcos effectively to the OCP community. It will also work to strengthen the OCP ecosystem to address telcos’ deployment and operational needs, as well as bring OCP innovations to telco’s data center infrastructure.
Datacenter Knowledge — Quanta Cloud Technology, subsidiary of the Taiwanese hardware manufacturer Quanta Computer, has introduced a hyper converged infrastructure offering that combines its hardware, including Open Compute servers, storage, networking switches, and racks, with virtualization and cloud software options by VMware, Canonical, Red Hat, Microsoft, and Mirantis, among others.
The third version of China’s data center server technology standard project led by China-based Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent are set to be announced at the end of 2015 and the project will cover more standards and adopt a modularized design to help reduce China data centers’ server purchasing costs, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. China launched the first version of the project in 2012 and the second in 2014 and the project is rather similar to the Open Compute Project (OCP) that Facebook has been aggressively promoting.
Apple has joined the Facebook-established Open Compute Project in line with its plans to set up new cloud data centers and replace servers used in existing data centers. Some Taiwan-based white-box server makers have obtained orders from Apple and will begin shipments soon, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.
Notebook ODM Quanta Computer has been competing for server ODM orders from Dell, according to industry sources. Quanta Computer was originally a server ODM for Dell and NEC but has shifted the focus of its server business from ODM to white-box production for direct shipments to clients setting up cloud computing data centers including Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft.
Optimistic about software defined network (SDN) development, Facebook is planning to shift its network switch orders from existing brand partners to Taiwan’s white-box suppliers in 2015 and both Quanta Computer and Wiwynn, a white-box server subsidiary of Wistron, are already preparing aggressively to strive for related orders.
As users of white-box servers (produced by ODMs and sold directly to clients) mostly need a large number of small-size, low-power and inexpensive models pre-installed with Linux and customized to some extent, white-box servers are mostly rack or micro types instead of towers or blades. The users usually have in-house technical teams to handle their servers’ maintenance and find server brand vendors’ designs limiting their operations; therefore, they have turned to supplies directly from ODMs.
Taiwan-based power management solution provider Delta Electronics is exhibiting energy-efficient products and solutions at Hanover Messe 2014, an annual industrial technology fair taking place in Hanover, Germany, during April 7-11, according to the company. From 2010 to 2013, Delta Electronics’ energy-efficient products and solutions resulted in total power savings of 11.9 billion kWh, equivalent to a reduction in carbon emissions of 6.38 million tons, the company said.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN — (Marketwired) — 03/04/14 — ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Taiwan’s largest and one of the world’s leading high-tech R&D institutions, and the Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation, celebrated the opening of the ITRI OCP Global Certification Testing Center at the OCP Taiwan Forum on March 4th. The new center will provide global validation service in support of OCP Foundation’s vision for open sourced hardware.

The NFL draft is looming and thinking about it put an interesting thought in my head for this week’s roundtable question. Hypothetically, say you are allowed to bring one alumni player from the NFL back to play for your school again. Who are you picking and why?
Zach (Boise State): If I am looking at this from purely a needs standpoint I would have to choose between Demarcus Lawrence and Leighton Vander Esch. Considering how unproven the linebacker corps is, I will go with LVE. Vander Esch had the greatest linebacker season in Boise State history. If you mixed his skill set with the secondary and defensive line this team already has, it would be scary.
Lute (Colorado State): Shaq Barrett. I thought about going with Rashard Higgins or Michael Gallup, but it feels like CSU’s new head coach Jay Norvell is going to have the offense buzzing this year already. The defense is more of a question mark and the 2019 NFL sack leader and SuperBowl champion would help improve the Rams defensive front tremendously. Barrett didn’t get enough shine in my opinion when he played for CSU. He singlehandedly won us a bowl game his senior year and was a menace on opposing offenses. Maybe the second time around he’d get a little more appreciation for all he brought to the team.
Willie (Wyoming): Holy cow(boys) it’s Josh Allen. There should be very little debate on this answer despite the incredible linebackers that have also come through Laramie in recent years like Logan Wilson and Chad Muma. The reason? The lack of prominence at the quarterback position after Allen’s departure. Josh Allen holds the highest single season passing efficiency in Wyoming history at 127.78 and ranks 3rd all-time in Wyoming single-season total offense. What the Pokes have lacked has been a game-changing arm talent at the QB position and Josh Allen was arguably the best to do it in the history of the school. So yeah, we’ll go with Josh.
Aiden (Boise State): While I agree with Zach that Lawrence or Vander Esch would immensely improve the defense, I am going to venture a little outside the box for my pick. The offensive line has been a point of consternation for Bronco fans over the last handful of years and because of that, I would bring back left tackle Charles Leno Jr. He has had a successful career in the NFL with one Pro Bowl selection in 2018 and was a mainstay in the trenches for the Chicago Bears for six years. While he is 30 years old, Leno ranked 18th out of 82 qualified tackles per PFF last season. To see Hank Bachmeier have adequate time in the pocket thanks to enhanced blindside protection would be a nice change of pace.
Jos (UNLV): The Quarterback is the captain of the team, that is why I’m bringing back QB Randall Cunningham. He played 11 seasons on the Philadelphia Eagles then after a year of retirement he played five more seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, and Baltimore Ravens. In the pros, he had almost 30,000 yards passing and 207 TDs. Cunningham also was a 4x Pro Bowler. In his three years with the Rebels he was a 1st and 2nd Team All-American in back-to-back seasons and his jersey number was retired. He is probably one of the best players to come out of the southern Nevada school.
Mike (SDSU): My first thought was to bring P Matt Araiza back because I think they going to miss him and his outstanding field position abilities. Then, I was looking at the Aztecs to add in a quarterback, which has long been the missing piece for their offense/team. However, there isn’t much at that position to draw on anyway. Then my mind went to, let’s add to the team’s strengths, which are running backs, linebackers, and the secondary. I really considered Tariq Thompson, who had the talent and versatility to really make the defense run in the Aztec position. However, I am going with running back Rashaad Penny. While they have had talented running backs, it’s been more by committee than a true workhorse and dominant run game and that could prove to be a difference-maker.

Our Workers’ Compensation lawyers strive to help employers minimize their exposure and the impact of workers’ compensation claims throughout Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. They provide counsel to a wide range of employers, from small businesses to national and international corporations.
PRACTICAL AND COST EFFECTIVE
When employees claim job-related injuries and disorders, clients count on our team for practical and cost-effective solutions. They know our lawyers help them understand and assess the value of claims, and that we work closely with them to develop a strategy for resolving each claim that aligns with their business and financial objectives. They know that we bring the collective knowledge and experience of the entire team to bear on each individual claim.
And they know that we get results. In one recently concluded matter, a concrete-supplier client took our advice to aggressively fight an employee’s claim of a work-related illness caused by the concrete powder to which he was regularly exposed while on the job. We disputed the claim through litigation on their behalf, bringing in experts to demonstrate that the powder was not responsible for the employee’s disease. As a result, the judge issued a complete denial of the claim, finding that the employee’s illness had nothing to do with his workplace. The judge dismissed a claim which could have cost our client more than $500,000 in immediate benefits, plus exposure throughout the employee’s lifetime.
The lawyers in our Workers’ Compensation practice – including those who have spent a portion of their legal careers representing injured workers – regularly draw upon the full resources of the firm’s Employment team to identify solutions to complex issues that often arise in connection with workers’ compensation claims. These include employee terminations, allegations of ADA and FMLA violations, workplace safety charges and more.
In addition, we work closely with our clients to develop holistic programs that limit exposure and costs stemming from employee injuries. We seek out opportunities to reduce the financial burden of their workers’ compensation programs, including pursuing recovery of benefits paid by Pennsylvania employers from the state’s Supersedeas Fund.

Lineage, one of the world’s leading temperature-controlled industrial REIT and integrated solutions providers has been the latest transaction in logistics industry by setting up a joint venture with Hanoi-based cold-storage warehouse operator SK Logistics.
|Logistics acquisitions attract billions in US dollars, photo Le Tpan
Although the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, Brooke Miller, Asia Pacific president at Lineage commented that partnering with SK Logistics is a remarkable opportunity for the company to continue delivering its cold storage solutions in the Asia Pacific region.
“Vietnam is an important market for Lineage, and partnering with a reliable and proven operator like SK Logistics helps us to continue delivering excellence in supply chain solutions in the region,” Miller said.
SK Logistics’ two cold storage warehouses, totaling almost 400,000 square feet, represent a strong increase in capacity in the north of Vietnam for Lineage. These facilities offer storage, distribution, stamping, weighing, classification, packing, and picking services for important customers in the region.
Toan Thang Commercial Service Development Company is expanding its operations following the acquisition in August of more than 21.2 million shares from Saigon Port JSC, equivalent to 9.83 per cent of capital.
After the transaction, Toan Thang became a major shareholder of Saigon Port.
At the end of May, Gemadept sold all 84.66 per cent of its equity in Nam Hai Dinh Vu Port to a group of investors including Vietnam Container JSC (Viconship). This transaction brings Viconship into the largest logistics enterprise in the northern port of Haiphong, commanding 30 per cent of the market share.
At the same time, PSA Cargo Solutions Vietnam Investments Pte., Ltd. of Singapore spent nearly $54 million to purchase 24.46 million shares, equivalent to 24.9 per cent of the charter capital, at Southern Logistics JSC (Sotrans).
Sotrans is a major name in the international freight forwarding industry and its strength is 230,000sq.m of warehouse system in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, surrounding areas, and industrial parks adjacent to the Saigon River.
In addition, Sotrans also holds shares in Southern Port JSC, Dong Nai Port, Vietranstimex, and Southern River Road.
At its AGM held in June in Ho Chi Minh City, chairman Tran Tuan Anh said that after nearly two years of negotiations, port operator PSA had become a strategic shareholder of Sotrans.
“We see many development opportunities in the seaport and logistics fields after cooperating with PSA. In the coming years, Sotrans’ funding opportunities will be many and will become a dominant and important unit in Vietnam. The enterprise hopes that shareholders will accompany the board in the next stages of development and that cooperation will bring good results in the long term,” Anh said.
Along with those deals, in July, America LLC fund bought 20,200 shares of Dinh Vu Port Investment and Development JSC, increasing the ratio holding from 4.97 to 5.02 per cent of charter capital and becoming a major shareholder of this enterprise.
In its draft project to restructure over 2021-2025, Vietnam Maritime Corporation planned to reduce the parent company’s capital ownership ratio in five ports (Can Tho, Cam Ranh, Quy Nhon, Danang, and Cai Lan) to 51 per cent.
At present, the Vietnamese logistics market has more than 30,000 domestic businesses and 25 global forwarding corporations in many different business forms. Around 5,000 of these businesses are participating in international activities, with nearly 70 medium or large-scale logistics centres. According to Agility’s annual ranking in 2023, Vietnam is in the top 10 emerging logistics markets in the world, and ranked fourth in Southeast Asia.
Michael Kokalari, chief economist at VinaCapital, assessed that Vietnam is one of the countries with the fastest growing logistics service industry in the world. However, it is still fragmented.
“This provides attractive opportunities for private company funds and other investors capable of helping domestic businesses grow revenue and profits by applying international best practices,” said Kokalari.
According to a VinaCapital report, the industry has grown 14-16 per cent annually in recent years, and total logistics expenditures in Vietnam are over 20 per cent of GDP, among the highest in the world and due to the industry’s innumerable inefficiencies.
“We see several potential strategies. These are investing into top logistics companies, aggressively growing assets into an integrated platform which offers clients economies of scale, identifying particular assets which need capital for upgrading or re-purpose, and driving new business by increasing efficiencies and consolidation,” Kokalari explained.
The adoption of global practices, such as digitalisation, together with capital injections are critical to all of these strategies, he added, although capital injections are particularly essentially if the investors’ strategy is to grow the capacity of the target firm – by adding additional trucks in a trucking firm, for example, or by adding additional cranes/heavy equipment in a port/warehouse business.
|Logistics providers in Hong Kong eye Vietnamese market
Logistics service providers from Hong Kong are looking to strengthen partnerships with their Vietnamese counterparts to tap into the nation's logistics market.
|Logistics talent needs foot up
Despite Vietnam’s rapid logistics expansion, the sector is at a critical juncture in talent development to sustain its significant expansion and global competitiveness.
|Highly-trained workers in demand for logistics field
Although recruitment demand is high and income levels particularly attractive, the logistics field is still in short supply of workers, especially highly-trained ones.

With their format changes this week Merlin Media’s “FM News” 101.1 WIQI Chicago and 101.9 WEMP New York just missed out on reaching their first birthdays. With a 0.6 share in New York and 0.3 in Chicago, the stations simply had nobody listening. But what caused these stations to be unmitigated failures?
Let’s go back to when Merlin first took control of the stations. Both dropped their Alternative Rock formats on July 18, 2011 and began stunting with a Classic Rock tinged AC placeholder format branded as “FM New“. This move flushed the frequencies of their previous listeners ensuring that none of them would be around for the full launch. Over the next few weeks the stations would gradually add the “FM News” elements.
On July 29, 101.1 in Chicago fully made the shift to News in order to beat CBS’ WBBM to the FM band. On July 14 in order to protect its heritage AM All-Newser in Chicago, CBS had announced that a simulcast of 780 WBBM on 105.9 WCFS would begin on August 1. 101.9 in New York would make its News debut a couple weeks later.
In its first incarnation, “FM News” was primarily targeting 25-54 Women as opposed to the older men that make the bulk of AM Newsradio’s audiences. Business and Sports news were non-existant, while extra emphasis was placed on entertainment news, shopping tips, and family features. Also non-existant in the first few months of the station was any form of outside marketing of the station.
By October, the station’s began retooling more towards a more traditional news format. Despite the lack of marketing until January when the New York station began airing some TV spots, this was already after many people had given the original iteration a shot and left with no intent of coming back.
It didn’t help that the stations had a new focus every few months. Merlin Chief Operating Officer and developer of the original iterations of the format Walter Sabo departed in December. VP/New York Programming Liz Aiello followed in February.
By the end of its run, 101.1 Chicago was experimenting with Talk blocks branded as “Expanded News Coverage” while Merlin’s acquisition of 106.9 in Philadelphia went to a mainly syndicated Talk format as opposed to becoming the next “FM News”. But in retrospect the death note for the format was written with the quick success out of the block for the relaunch of WKQX’ Alternative Rock format on “Q87.7” as it reached a 1.9 share by its second month on the air with its signal coming from a low-powered television frequency.
Since Merlin’s launch of “FM News”, three other markets have seen additional All-News outlets launched on FM. CBS debuted 99.1 WNEW in Washington, DC as a competitor to Hubbard’s 103.5 WTOP, Radio-One launched “News 92” KROI Houston, and Cumulus followed with “All News 106.7” WYAY Atlanta. Those stations have learned some lessons from Merlin’s failures. Both WNEW and KROI pushed back their debuts in order to make sure all things were running smoothly as opposed to how Merlin gradually phased in the elements fairly quickly.
Merlin Media launched with grand plans for spoken word programming on FM. Economic and ratings realities led to a shift in direction after a year. Should that prevent every other operator to forget about the natural evolution of traditional AM programming to FM or to take chances that otherwise wouldn’t be done? Hopefully not. Radio needs innovation to continue to thrive. Even in Merlin’s failure other operators have learned from their mistakes.

EDITORIAL | Money-guzzling SOEs must be cut loose
Laying off swathes of people amid a pandemic seems callous, but the state has been pushed into a corner
An agreement struck this week on the retrenchment of almost 3,000 SAA employees is welcome news, but also a bitter pill to swallow.
As SA slips deeper into a dark economic hole amid the Covid-19 pandemic, during which so many people have lost their jobs, adding to the swelling ranks of the unemployed at this juncture seems shockingly callous.
Yet we all know that if SA is to survive it cannot continue with massive government bailouts of state-owned enterprises that have for years been grossly mismanaged and looted by corrupt and incompetent managers...

I will be a new grad in May 09 and am interested in applying to Hopkins. I do not currently live in Baltimore so I am hoping someone can help me distinguish between their 3 branches: Bayview Medical Center, Howard County and Hopkins Hospital.
I have looked at all of their website carefully, so I'm looking for information like: what are the neighborhoods like, what types of patients to they mostly see (suburban/urban setting), starting pay etc. Recommendations are always welcome too!
Fells Point, Canton and Highlandtown are cool city areas for young people if she wants to live near Hopkins.
There is a great thread here about different areas to live and opinions, check it out.

Women and Housework
It's not uncommon for women who are overworked at home and in their jobs to become tired, irritable, unhappy and uninterested in their personal appearances, sex with their husbands or time with their children. "Then the whole home suffers," Rabbi Shmuley says. "The family lacks a vibrant center around which it can revolve."
How can this problem be resolved? Rabbi Shmuley offers some advice:
- Hire household help. "Better to spend whatever extra family income on household help than on a vacation," Rabbi Shmuley says. "Better to have a daily vacation than one once a year."
- Children must lend a hand. Start a daily chore list for your children and make sure they follow through on their assigned chores, Rabbi Shmuley says. "It's good for the kids, [and it's] good for Mom," he says.
- Husbands need to pitch in. Rabbi Shmuley says it's a myth that husbands do more household chores these days. "The average husband watches about three hours of TV per night," he says. "Wives complain to me all the time that their husbands are checked out."
- Women must have self-respect. "Women must demand that husbands and children help with household chores," Rabbi Shmuley says. "It is their right, [and they must] assert it."
"When a wife only knows household work, she begins to see herself as a means to the family's ends. She cannot inspire her children, loses interest in sex and often lets herself go. A husband who helps his wife with the home's most mundane chores is the true romantic."

Nautique Wake Games: Day 3
We officially saw the wake season get rolling today out at Wake Games in Orlando. Qualifying rounds were done as of Thursday/Friday and today was packed with riding from over 15 different divisions. We kept an especially close eye on the last few divisions of the day (Pro Men, Jr. Pro Men, and Pro Women). While many of the usual suspects made it through to semifinals tomorrow, we were pumped to see Josh Twelker and rookie Noah Flegel advance as well. The Jr. Pro Men semifinals heats were pretty stacked but Cory Teunissen is riding at a whole different level than the rest of the field. Let’s face it, there’s a reason why Cory became the youngest rider to land a 1080 this past year at age 15. Some really solid riding also went down in Pro Women semis and we especially liked what we saw from young Nautique rider, Meagan Ethell. We shot with Meagan a couple weeks ago and judging by her freeriding, she’s will progressing and pushing the women’s side of the sport for years to come. Check the photos below from today’s event and be sure to cruise out tomorrow if you’re in the Orlando area…riding starts at 8:30am and the Pro Men Finals tips off at 2:00pm!

Detection and typing of human papillomaviruses in malignant, dysplastic, non-dysplastic and normal oral epithelium by nested polymerase chain reaction
Abstract number: P1182
Blioumi E., Chatzidimitriou D., Pazartzi C., Katopodi T., Tzimagiorgis G., Melidou A., Emmanouil-Nikoloussi E., Markopoulos A., Lazaridis N., Skouras Z., Diza E., Antoniades D.
Introduction: Studies on human papillomaviruses (HPV) participation in initiation and progression of oral neoplasia have generated conflicting results. Specifically, HPV infection in oral carcinomas ranges from 0%-100% and in the normal oral cavity from 060%.
Aim: This study aims at the detection of the HPV DNA in oral carcinomas, dysplastic leukoplakias, non dysplastic leukoplakias, fibromas and normal mucosa by nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) and the correlation of HPV presence with other factors obtained from the patient's records, such as histologic diagnosis, gender, age, anatomic location, smoking and alcohol drinking.
Material and Methods: 258 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (63 carcinomas, 57 leukoplakias with dysplasia, 53 leukoplakia without dysplasia, 50 fibromas and 35 normal tissues) were deparaffinised, After DNA extraction, a nPCR was performed using primers targeting the HPV L1 gene; in the first step MY09/11 and in the second step GP5+/GP6+. Positive PCR products were sequenced for further HPV typing.
Results: HPV was detected in 22.2% of carcinomas, 31.5% of dyspalsias, 35.8% of non-dysplastic leukoplakias, 40% of fibromas and 40% of normal mucosas. HPV 16 was detected in 90% of positive samples. Statistical analysis with X2 and pearson correlation test shows significant negative correlation between HPV prevalence and age. No significant correlation was detected between HPV prevalence and gender, histological diagnosis, histological grading, location, smoking or alcohol drinking.
Conclusions: HPV was detected in all study groups, though in normal tissues more often than dysplastic or malignant. This fact does not exclude nor confirm the participation of HPV with the early stages of oral carcinogenesis.

My collaborator and friend Donal Buckley has been writing an eloquent, impassioned, and probably definitive account of l’Affaire Nyad (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5). I will collect my thoughts on The Controversy at some point, but in the meantime please consider Donal’s voice as my own.
What follows is my attempt at a real-time narrative of The Controversy, from the start of the swim the morning of August 31 through the evening of September 8, when a New York Times article by Suzanne Sataline finally forced Diana Nyad and her team to speak to the skepticism among her fellow marathon swimmers about the details of her achievement.
I assemble developments from a variety of sources – the Marathon Swimmers Forum, Facebook, national media outlets, and my personal contacts during this time – into a coherent narrative of a remarkable social media campaign.
August 31, 2013. 8:59am, Eastern Daylight Time (all subsequent times also in EDT). According to reports from her crew, Diana Nyad enters the water just west of Havana, Cuba, and begins swimming.
September 1, 8:00pm. Diana Nyad is filmed swimming at Hour 33, at which point, according to her GPS data, she was progressing toward her destination at more than 5 miles per hour (44.7 seconds per 100m).
September 1, 11:00pm. 38 hours into the swim, as reported by Diana’s crew, “winds suddenly rose to 23 knots” and the team “went into squall protocol.”
September 1, 11:38pm. American TV news network CNN, which has financially supported other Nyad swim attempts, reports that Diana “has broken swimmer Penny Palfrey’s 2012 distance record in the Cuba to Florida swim.”
September 2, 1:27am. “Flotilla back in formation” and “free of the storm,” according to crew reports. During the storm, Diana is still progressing at more than 4mph according to her GPS data.
Experienced marathon swimmers who actually know what swimming in 23-knot winds (Beaufort Force VI) is like are… curious.
September 2, 7:15am. Diana’s crew reports: “…the handlers were not stopping her to eat and drink overnight in the hopes that swimming would keep her warm.” 7:30am. Diana’s crew reports: “…the whistle blew for Diana’s first feeding stop since before midnight.”
Experienced marathon swimmers wonder: “No food or drink since midnight? Seven and a half hours without calories or liquids?”
….pretty sure the Gulf Stream doesn’t work like that. #smokeandmirrors
The comments on Barra’s Facebook thread anticipate two important directions of the subsequent controversy:
- The strong west-to-east Gulf Stream currents – as shown on both predictive models and live data – casting doubt on Diana’s strong south-to-north progress across the Strait. Tampa Bay Marathon Swim race director Ron Collins’ comments are especially helpful.
- The lack of qualified, independent observers on Diana’s swim. Triple Crown channel swimmer and professional FINA Grand Prix swimmer Mallory Mead says:
Ultimately the thing I really can’t get over, is why she didn’t have a truly independent observer. Like someone the open water swimming community knows and respects. Diana knows the community doesn’t trust her (and that is nothing new!) so if she cared, she would have made sure to have someone on the boat to verify.
But at the very least she doesn’t give a rats ass about the open water swimming community, because she KNOWS it doesn’t matter what we think, the media will print anything she says as truth.
September 2, 1:26pm. Marathon Swimmers Forum member “bruck” posts a prophetic comment:
IF Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida unassisted, with the jelly costume and face mask being the only deviation from traditional channel rules, then it should be celebrated as one of the world’s greatest endurance feats.
I don’t think a little skepticism about the current swim is unfair or mean, given the dubious circumstances and reporting of her previous swims.
Assuming she finishes, I hope she and her team will make completely clear what, exactly, has been accomplished. Did she swim the whole way? Did she ever rest on the boat? Was she ever towed by the boat? How does she account for the unusually fast progress she made, seemingly far in excess of her personal swim speed?
Then the marathon swimming community can evaluate the claims and the evidence, and decide whether we believe her.
September 2, 1:53pm. Diana Nyad swims ashore in Key West, 53 hours after departing Havana. To experienced marathon swimmers who have undertaken 24-hour swims, much less 53-hour swims, she appears surprisingly sprightly for anyone of any age after such an effort. Penny Palfrey, a younger and much stronger swimmer, was confined to a hospital for a day after her 80-mile, 41-hour attempt last year.
On the beach, Diana amazingly has the presence and clarity of mind to deliver an inspirational sound byte for the cameras:
I have three messages: One is we should never ever give up. Two is you are never too old to chase your dreams. And three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team.
September 2, evening. The story of Diana’s swim is global news. Media outlets (e.g., New York Times, CNN) report that Diana swam 53 hours nonstop between Havana and Key West. These reports, evidently, were based purely on the word of Diana and her team, without fact-checking.
On the Marathon Swimmers Forum, the discussion has already zeroed in on the two most
suspicious interesting aspects of the swim:
- Diana’s strong south-to-north progress across strong west-to-east currents (according to the live publicly-available oceanography data).
- The 7.5-hour stretch on the second night of the swim, during which Diana’s crew reported she went without feeding or drinking.
September 3, 9:04am. In an admittedly purposeful effort to stir up more critical analysis of Diana’s swim, I ask on Facebook:
Did any of the journalists covering Diana Nyad ask her directly if she swam the whole way, under her own power? Just askin’.
It becomes the most engaged post in the history of my personal Facebook account. Most are supportive. Catalina solo record-holder Grace van der Byl says:
Thanks for asking what many have been thinking….
Irish channel swimmer Colm Breathnach cites the famous Sagan aphorism:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Others seem to take it quite personally. Chicago channel swimmer Nial Funchion declares:
Who gives a fuck about ‘your sport’ your ‘time’, ‘rules’, there is integrity in putting the soul out there for the viewing. When that is done consider it a gift There will always be critics, they suck And hide and throw daggers through the hearts of great spirits. Man she gave us he world as human beings should live it. I’ve been doing marathon swimming w/o the bs rules for 22 years w integrity…reaching, building, mending. I don’t need rules for that.
My brother Garrett responds to Nial:
I have a hard time understanding why a human being would willingly shield himself from attainable knowledge about that which he “believes.” Isn’t curiosity a natural impulse of the reasoning mind? And why not believe in things that have been, to the best of our rational ability, verified? It takes ten minutes to read the Nyad discussion in the forum and to enlarge one’s knowledge about her feat. The idea that Nyad’s biggest fans would knowingly avoid such an experience blows my mind.
See the full, fascinating, and impassioned thread HERE.
September 3, 1:02pm. Over on the Marathon Swimmers Forum, discussion had been building to a crescendo throughout the swim, in two separate threads: Diana Nyad’s epic swim (primarily cheerleading-type comments) and Here we go again… (primarily critical comments). Once the swim ended, I merged a few comments from each into a new thread focusing on the post-swim analysis: 110 miles, 53 hours: Questions for Diana Nyad. This thread would soon become the most read, most commented thread in Forum history, and the subject of national news.
Evening of Sept 4 – Morning of Sept 5. The Forum discussion begins to focus on the technical details of Diana’s speed across the Strait. How did she seemingly swim faster across a strong cross-current than Trent Grimsey swam across the English Channel? Andrew Malinak does some Google Earth trigonometry, and I attempt to derive “speed segments” from the postings on her blog.
September 4, 7pm. Suzanne Sataline, a freelance journalist and CIBBOWS swimmer, leaves me a voicemail. I return her call later that evening. She interviews me for a story she is writing about the marathon swimming community’s skepticism of Diana Nyad’s swim. The story is slated to appear on National Geographic Online.
September 4, 8:10pm. As the controversy on the Forum grows, Steven Munatones CC’s me on an email to Forrest Nelson, asking if he would like to “review the data and documentation that Diana’s team gave to me.” Steve does not specify the nature of the data that Team Nyad has provided to him, but I reply that I would certainly be interested in reviewing it.
Now almost five weeks later, it is still not clear what came of this offer.
September 5, early AM. On the Forum, the curious story of Walter Poenisch is mentioned for the first time.
We also hear, for the first time, from a member of Diana’s Xtreme Dream Team. Her kayak team captain, Don “Woodkayaker” McCumber, says he was on the water with Diana for “approximately 1/3 of the swim,” and claims “she did NOT do ANYTHING to compromise her record.” McCumber notes that Diana was “observed around the clock by two independent observers from the Open Water Swimming Association – Roger McVeigh, and Janet Hinkle.”
For the record, there is no such organization as the “Open Water Swimming Association.”
Forum members are excited to hear from someone who actually witnessed the swim in person, and post several reasonable questions for Mr. McCumber.
Soon thereafter, Xtreme Dream Kayak Team Captain Don “Woodkayaker” McCumber loses his temper and leaves the Forum in a righteous fury:
Why must so many people in this group want to pick apart every little thing? Take a look at yourselves… you are an embarrassment. Accept the FACT that she did this swim. Get a LIFE.
Xtreme Dream Kayak Team Captain Don “Woodkayaker” McCumber also makes the unintentionally revealing suggestion: “Maybe your stodgy little rule book needs to be edited.”
September 5, mid-morning. Suzanne Sataline’s piece for National Geographic, the first mention of the controversy in the national media, is published online.
September 5, 6:12pm. Marathon swimming legend Penny Palfrey, whose 2012 attempt was the closest to swimming the Florida Straits unassisted, and whose open-ocean distance record Diana Nyad is claiming to have bested, comments to the Forum:
If an athlete claims to have broken the record of another athlete, surely both events should have been conducted under the same set of rules.
Penny, who used a stinger suit on her 2012 swim, also pointedly mentions she put on and took off the stinger suit by herself, without help from crew.
September 6, mid-morning. Forum member and engineer Andrew Malinak posts the data-analysis-heard-’round-the-world.
September 6, 2:45pm. Outside Magazine, which promoted Diana Nyad as one of their 2013 “Adventurers of the Year,” re-reports Sataline’s National Geographic piece:
Nyad’s Cuba-Florida Swim Under Attack: Team has yet to release data (OutsideOnline.com)
September 6, 3pm. Diana Nyad makes her first public comment about the controversy, on my personal Facebook page. Her claim that she “never of course touched a boat or another person” is notable, given her later admission that actually she did touch other people during the swim, quite frequently.
Forum member and channel swimmer Owen O’Keefe later notes:
She (or whoever was writing on her behalf) is a true master of ambiguity. I’m not an expert on English grammar, but I’m pretty sure that the statement “Those will be judged by the auspices of the sport and different record keepers” does not make one ounce of sense.
September 6, mid-afternoon. Marathonswimmers.org is nearly inaccessible due to slow server response time. I assume we have reached bandwidth limits due to increased visitor traffic, but after consulting with my hosting company’s tech support, it becomes clear that we’ve been the victim of a denial-of-service (DOS) attack. I work with the hosting company to implement enhanced security measures to protect against future attacks.
September 6, 4:42pm. Snarky sports-news website Deadspin picks up the story.
Deadspin, which originally broke the Manti T’eo dead-girlfriend-hoax story, is widely read and often foreshadows breaking national news.
September 6, 5:30pm. I speak again with Suzanne Sataline, who is now working on a follow-up story for the New York Times.
September 6, late evening. I re-format Andrew’s chart with more readily interpretable axes (km per hour instead of km per 6.75 minutes; elapsed hours instead of number of 6.75-minute intervals):
September 7, 6:49pm. Chris Moschini, the man behind the DianaNyad.com website, posts the data from Diana’s SPOT GPS trackers, including (importantly) the timestamps associated with each set of coordinates.
September 8, 2:34pm. As the New York Times nears publication of Suzanne Sataline’s story, the Associated Press goes live with a story quoting Andrew Malinak and an oceanographer named Mitch Roffer, who says it’s possible Nyad caught a rare south-to-north eddy of the Gulf Stream that would explain her quick progress.
Nyad’s Team Responds to Skeptics Doubting Her Swim (bigstory.ap.org)
September 8, 5:58pm. Forum member John Royer re-does Andrew Malinak’s analysis using the timestamped data provided by Chris Moschini. “The main features of the plot are pretty much identical.”
September 8, 8:34pm. Professional journalist and open water swimmer “rosemarymint” posts a comment to the Forum that elegantly summarizes the dilemmas confronting any journalist covering this emerging story:
I was not following the excruciating detail of the swim as it was happening online, nor do I have a TV (or cable.) I do know that CNN had a huge amount of involvement in the swim, even offering their satellite link for the data to the website (per the post by Diana’s web team.) Did CNN have a reporter (staff or freelancer) on any of the boats with the flotilla? This could become a credibility issue for them if they did.
Second: does anyone know any Florida Strait current experts that were NOT involved with the swim? We have now seen the brief visual analysis of the GPS/timestamp info, but there still is a big missing piece. Is there proof from an independent scientific source (and is not commercial in nature) that the currents could have moved the way Diana’s camp says they did and could explain the swim speeds? And could they have moved that way during those exact moments?
Have to admit, I’m more than a little surprised by the pervasive lack of skepticism among the media. Yes, we all love a good heart-warming story where a human being achieves something absolutely extraordinary, but the initial data do not pass the smell test. I can’t have any conclusions yet because there still are not enough data points to fully answer questions, but my flags are more than waving in the air. The fact that Diana’s swimming peers have such intense skepticism should be enough for a lot of people, but apparently not.
September 8, 10:00pm. Suzanne Sataline’s article for the New York Times goes live.
September 8, 11:57pm. I and several others receive an email from Steven Munatones, inviting us to hear from Diana Nyad and her team on a Skype conference call scheduled for the evening of September 10.

The pain that usually manifests itself when this happens is sharp, shooting and can be felt down to the nerves. It’s a frustrating condition that most of us would rather not deal with. The good news is that nobody really has to. Modern dentistry has discovered a variety of ways to prevent and address tooth sensitivity quickly and easily. We’re listing down some of the safest, most popular and most effective ones below:
Check your toothbrush – yes, your toothbrush may be the culprit when it comes to sensitive teeth. If the bristles on your toothbrush are too hard, these can remove the enamel on your teeth, making them sensitive. Try to get yourself a toothbrush that is soft yet firm enough to clean your teeth properly. Brushing your teeth too vigorously can also bring about bouts of tooth sensitivity, so you should also be a bit more gentler when brushing.
Plaque removal is a must – regular visits to your dentist to remove any plaque buildup should also be on your list of things to do when you have sensitive teeth. To keep plaque from building up as well, you should floss regularly and carefully.
Avoid beverages and foods that cause such a problem – to avoid the pain of sensitive teeth, it might be a good idea to stop eating or drinking whatever causes this to happen. Acidic food and drinks, hot and cold beverages, and sweets can cause tooth sensitivity to occur, so it might be a good idea to avoid these.
Use toothpaste that is formulated for sensitive teeth – toothpastes that are made specifically for use by those who have sensitive teeth come with desensitizing elements as well as cover tubules that build up lost enamel. You should make sure, however, that you do not use these toothpastes only when your teeth act up. You should use it regularly to prevent the recurrence of the pain brought about by sensitive teeth.
Have a dentist protect your teeth – when the use of desensitizing toothpastes don’t work, you should consider asking your dentist for barriers that they can “paint on” your teeth. This can include options like plastic resins, enamel coatings, or a fluoride varnish which can keep your teeth protected from the elements that trigger the pain of sensitivity. You will need to return to your dentist every few months to have this procedure redone since these coatings usually wear off over time.
These are just a few tips that may help you get rid of problems associated with sensitive teeth. To find out more about tooth sensitivity, why it happens, and what other options you have for making it go away, a visit to your dentist may be in order.

POSTED BY February 2, 2018 COMMENTS (95)ON
This was the last budget of BJP govt before the next elections and it was expected that they would announce some very good changes in budget which will be for middle class. From last many years, the tax slab rates have not seen any major changes (except few small changes) . The 80C limit and housing loan interest deducted limits were revised few years back, but still the common man expected some really good news.
While the budget was very good for farmers and rural sectors in general and also for senior citizens, it was extremely disappointing for middle class who are mainly into jobs.
On twitter, I asked about people opinion on the budget and as expected, most of the people were not happy about it.
One of the biggest disappointments for everyone in this budget was that the tax slabs were not changed at all. In media we keep hearing on how the minimum limit for taxation should be raised from 2.5 lacs to 5 lacs, but it was not even raised to 3 lacs.
Below are the slabs.
So you will still pay the taxes as per old slab rates only.
There is a standard deduction of Rs 40,000 allowed in this budget, which means that you can now reduce your taxable salary by Rs 40,000 directly along with other deductions and benefits. But this only looks great on paper, because the transport allowance of Rs 19,200 and medical reimbursement of Rs 15,000 are now removed as benefits.
So earlier anyways one was able to claim around Rs 34,200 ,so the added advantage is only for Rs 5,800 more.
You will only save a little headache of providing the medical bills which you used to do for claiming Rs 15,000 (a lot of people used to provide fake bills). So now the process will be simple
The biggest news in this budget was the reintroduction of 10% tax on long term capital gains on equity without Indexation benefits. Let me touch base on this a bit as this is very important to understand, however I will make another details article soon on this.
Till now, if you held equity stocks or equity mutual funds for more than 1 yr, then all the profits you made were tax free when you sold them. However now you will have to pay 10% tax on the profits on profits above Rs 1 lac.
However this will only apply on the profits made after 31st Jan 2018 and if you sell your holdings after 31st Mar 2018. All the gains you have made till 31st Jan 2018, are protected and now they will be considered as your cost price.
So if you had bought a stock or equity mutual funds for Rs 1 lacs in May 2017, and its value on 31st Jan 2018 was 1.2 lacs, then you do not pay any tax on this profit of Rs 20,000 . Now your cost price will become 1.2 lacs .
Now if you sell it in let’s say Dec 2018 for Rs 1.5 lacs , then your capital gains will be 1.5 lacs – 1.2 lacs = Rs 30,000 (not 50k).
|Particulars||Before Budget||After Budget|
|Buy Date : 1st June 2016||Rs 5,00,000||Rs 5,00,000|
|Sell Date : 1st July 2019||Rs 10,00,000||Rs 10,00,000|
|Price on 31st Jan 2018||Rs 7,00,000||Rs 7,00,000|
|Purchase Price Considered||Rs 5,00,000||Rs 7,00,000|
|Capital Gains||Rs 5,00,000||Rs 3,00,000|
|Capital Gains Exempted||Rs 5,00,000 (100%)||Rs 1,00,000 (as per new rule)|
|Capital Gains which will be taxes||Rs 0||Rs 2,00,000|
|Tax Payable||NIL||Rs 20,000|
Note that the capital tax gains will come into picture only when you sell your holdings and the tax will be applicable only on the profits above Rs 1 lac.
Capital gains on equity was already there before 2004, At that time it was 20% on profits with indexation or 10% without indexation. Now they are reintroduced.
Note that if you sell your holdings before 31st March 2018, the old rules still apply. This new rules are only going to be in picture if you sell after 1st April, 2018.
What should you do?
Dont get too emotional about the tax part. I know people hate paying tax in any form, and especially when it comes as a surprise. But the truth is that the capital gains tax was there before 2004. Its not reintroduced. You should feel happy that for 13 yrs, there was no taxes on equity gains and those of you who have made great returns in past decade enjoyed it tax free.
Also, the capital gains tax on equity is one of the lowest in India at 10% . Most of the other countries tax it at anywhere from 15-35% . So we are not in bad shape.
Equities are still one of the best asset classes, and now lets focus on your wealth creation over long term. The fundamentals are still strong and the equity is set to give great returns over long term. Even with this 10% tax, equities are the best thing to invest in (for long term)
Before of the LTCG on equity , now the dividends from equity mutual funds and stocks will also be taxed at 10%. However this will at source. Which means that it will get deducted by the company itself and you will get the dividend post deduction of 10% . You will not be paying any tax at your end, so there is no headache of all that calculation and CA work
For example, if the company announces Rs 10 dividend per share/unit and you are suppose to get Rs 10,000 dividend , then you will get Rs 9,000 and Rs 1,000 will be paid to govt directly by the company.
This applies to both dividend and dividend reinvestment option in mutual funds.
The dividend distribution tax and treatment for debt mutual funds is still the same. No changes in that.
The cess was increased from 3% to 4% in this budget.
Cess is something which you pay extra on the income tax. So if you are in 20% income tax bracket, then you will pay 4% more on 20% , which will make your income tax rate as 20.8% .
If your income tax amount comes to Rs 20,000 per year, then your cess will be 4% of Rs 20,000 = Rs 800.
With 1% increase in cess, you will pay Rs 200 more now (if your income tax is 20,000). This will increase your tax burden by a very marginal amount.
This budget has given a lot of benefits for senior citizens.
One big benefit is that now there won’t be any tax on interest on all the deposits and bank interest up to Rs 50,000 for senior citizens. This will include interest of saving bank account, fixed deposits and recurring deposits.
Now there won’t be any TDS deductions for interest from deposits (fixed deposits and recurring deposits) upto Rs 50,000. Till now the TDS was deducted as per provisions of section 194A , if the interest was above Rs 10,000 , but now it will be Rs 50,000 limit.
Under section 80D, there was an exemption of up to 30,000 per year for health insurance premiums for senior citizens, but now it has been increased up to Rs 50,000 . It’s a major relief because for senior citizens the health insurance premiums are very high and in most cases, it’s more than 40-50k anyways.
There is an increase in the deduction limit for medical expenditure for certain illness up to Rs 1 lac for all senior citizens under section 80DDB . So in a particular year, if a senior citizen spends money on treatment of these illness, they can claim deduction on up to Rs 1 lac.
Here is the list of all illness covered under Sec 80DDB
Increase in deduction limit for medical expenditure for certain critical illness from Rs. 60,000 (in case of senior citizens) and from Rs. 80,000 (in case of very senior citizens) to Rs. 1 lakh for all senior citizens, under section 80DDB.
Those of you who are running any companies, the good news is that the tax rate will be 25% now instead of 30%, provided your turnover is less than Rs 250 crores yearly.
Now all the new women how will join the workforce for the first time, their EPF will be deducted @8% only instead of 12% for the first 3 yrs, also the govt will now provide 12% from their side also. It’s still not clear if the employer contribution will also be extra other than govt contribution.
Another big news was that now govt is bringing a health insurance scheme for masses, where each family will be entitled for Rs 5 lac sum assured each year. But this will be mostly for weaker section of society and I don’t think any of our readers will be eligible for this.
There are no details about this scheme right now in budget and no allocations is made for this. I would rather wait for more details before commenting on this more. However if successfully implemented it would be wonderful for our country.
Let us know what do you think about the budget? What is one major disappointment and one great thing about the budget for you?

Hello! I am Alexander Garoutte. Welcome to Blessed Imagination, a daily meditation podcast meant to help you develop a stronger relationship with God through the gift of your imagination.
Though I currently reside in central New York State preparing to head back to school to be a mental health counselor, my most recent ministerial experience was as a campus minister at Santa Clara University (SCU). There, I coordinated a program called Christian Life Community that formed faith-sharing small groups for all Christian students. These groups were guided by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola (if you don’t know who that is yet, that’s ok — we’ll get there!). In my role at SCU, I accompanied students as they navigated the challenging realities of young adulthood and discovering who they wanted to become.
My experience in ministry and my interest in mental health counseling come from a single root — a desire to help each person see their own worth and belovedness.
For a more in-depth look at what we’re doing with the Blessed Imagination podcast, see this page. There, you’ll learn more about St. Ignatius of Loyola, Ignatian Spirituality, and how the imagination can help lead us closer to God.

Roars of disapproval rang out in Australia's Parliament Thursday, after Prime Minister Tony Abbott called Labor leader Bill Shorten "the Dr. Goebbels of economic policy." In the ruckus that ensued, three lawmakers were ejected and another walked out.

There comes a day in every car owner's life when she knows, it's time. For Carolyn Ballard of Atlanta, that was on a hot day last July, while driving her SUV with misfiring cylinders.
"I drove to the dealership with the car literally chugging along," she says. "I mean, in traffic on the interstate. I was just sweating, thinking I've just got to get to the dealership so I can get rid of this, before I put any more money into it."

One year ago, a mudslide wreaked havoc on Oso, a small community in Washington state. It took just a few minutes to topple dozens of homes, leaving 43 people dead. Volunteers and first responders rushed to the scene to save trapped residents. Yet, remarkably, none of them were hurt, at least not physically.
In the weeks and months following the landslide, thousands of people from the outlying areas formed teams. Loggers brought in heavy equipment, red cross and other groups organized volunteers and protected families from the throngs of media.

Follow the directions for use (be sure to dilute the soap), use a bucket or sink filled with warm soapy water, and a soft nylon brush for more challenging cleaning. Do NOT wash your bag in a washing machine, avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and industrial cleaners, do NOT put in a dryer, as these things can ruin the interior coated lining of the CORDURA® Brand Nylon Fabric.

GM CEO Barra says headquarters to stay in downtown Detroit
General Motors will keep its headquarters in its seven-building office tower complex in downtown Detroit, its CEO says. Mary Barra, in an interview with The Associated Press, said the automaker's main office will remain in the Renaissance Center, the centerpiece of the city's skyline just across the Detroit River from Canada. “Our headquarters will always be in Detroit, in the RenCen,” she said, using the name given to the complex by locals.news.yahoo.com
The AP Interview: GM's Barra talks electric vehicles, future
The economy is a bit wobbly, but General Motors CEO Mary Barra isn’t backing off of an audacious prediction: She pledges that by the middle of this decade, her company will sell more electric vehicles in the U.S. than Tesla, the global sales leader.
Chip shortage keeps driving up auto prices, cutting sales
U.S. new vehicle sales tumbled more than 21% in the second quarter compared with a year ago as the global semiconductor shortage continued to cause production problems for the industry. But smaller, fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles don't appear to be faring as well.news.yahoo.com

We’d left the family of Lions dozing in the dry riverbed as Rexon eased the open Land Rover along the smooth sand track. The pungent, cat-pee scent of Silver Terminalia flowers hung in the humid lowveld air. Somewhere out of sight, an Emerald-spotted Wood-Dove let out is mournful, mid-morning melody.
Andries, the sharp-eyed tracker perched on his bonnet seat, pointed to our left. There, on the dead snag of an old Leadwood tree was a hawk. Four sets of binoculars swung in its direction and it was rapidly identified as a Dark Chanting-Goshawk.
Suddenly, the goshawk left its perch and plunged into the tall grass alongside the track. It had pinned something down and had spread out its ashy wings to mantle over it. We watched on as the raptor held down its victim – a green snake. With the snake clasped in both feet, the goshawk rose out of the grass and we could see now that the reptile was not going to go quiety. It had coiled itself around the hawk’s thigh and was attempting to wrap itself around the raptor’s back. But this was clearly no new situation for the goshawk which promptly landed on a horizontal branch of a leafy Marula tree and seized the snake by the head. The slim snake thrashed about for a few moments, but it was no real contest.
We left the hunter to its meal and headed back to the lodge for our own breakfast.
Chitwa-Chitwa, Sabi-Sand, South Africa. November 2012.

This was a good recipe but I found myself having to add more of every spice. It didn't have enough flavor at first. I basically doubled the sauce and it came out flavorful. I served it with snow...
Wonderful dish...I added 1/2 cup fresh sliced mushrooms and left out the peanuts.
This was very good & very quick & easy. I have used the sauce from this recipe with several other stir fry meals. Nice and spicy!
This is a favorite in our family! I substitute 1 package of firm tofu for the chicken and it tastes delicious. When I use tofu I like to double the sauce recipe so that the tofu picks up the a...
This was really yummy. I didn't have any ginger root, so I ended up using ground ginger. I had this last night for dinner and today my stomach is telling me that there were a few too many red pe...
This is my first recipe from this web site. I loved it and will make it again! It was very quick and easy.
This was awesome! You don't really need the peanuts - skip this ingredient if you're trying to cut back on the fat. Wish that I had doubled for left-overs!

Hi! My name is Kathie Siler–Director/Counselor at His Glory Shepherding Ministries (HisGlory SM),
The goal of Counseling at HisGlory SM is to help every Client look at themselves, their problems and the world around them from a Christ-centered, biblical perspective. Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10 & 12 reflect the goal of counseling offered at HisGlory SM:
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Counseling at HisGlory SM is designed to help clients discover the unique strength and perspective of the Scriptures as their “third strand” to deal with problems. As Counseling progresses, Clients are encouraged to extend their counseling experience into the “nitty-gritty” of life through the process of Journey Notes Praise Journaling. Those who take advantage of the Journey Notes process, consistently make better progress than those who do not.
Counseling at HisGlory SM is offered community-wide to all those interested in Biblical Counseling. There is never a charge, but donations are gratefully accepted to help pay for ministry expenses.
“Now may the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in Him so that, you may overflow with Hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
All to His Glory!
What a marvelous thing you are doing. Encouragement is always inportant. We don’t do enough of it. I am trying harder to do more of it as I get older.
Thanks for the encouragement Katherine! (:
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your words of encouragement!
You are very welcome! (:
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope you had a wonderful Resurrection Day!
Thank you! Blessings to you and your family!

FC Bayern’s hopes of a spectacular transfer coup? Spanish media reported that the German record holder had knocked on the door of National goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and explored the chances of a change.
Although FC Bayern already have a successor for Manuel Neuer in the back of the list, according to “resounding reports” in Alexander N’bel, the transfer of the noch-Schalker to the S’bener Strae is not yet official. That wom-like for good reason.
According to the “Mundo Deportivo”, FC Bayern is one of three top European clubs that have inquired about the availability of Marc-André ter Stegen. All three clubs have therefore asked whether the German national player could make a change.
If the Munchners are looking for a successor to Manuel Neuer in the long run, Juventus are exploring the market for an heir to the duo Szczesny/Buffon, who are no longer (more) h-chsten anspr-chen gen-gt. The same is gold-plated for Paris Saint-Germain, who have Keylor Navas (33) and a number one whose time is slowly but surely abl-uf.
Amount of at least 100 million euros
All three clubs – all of them in the lead of FC Bayern – are aware that they are putting at least 100 million euros on the table for a transfer of Marc-André ter Stegen. In the contract of the national goalkeepers is even a fixed abl’se in Héhe of 180 million euros.
There is also another problem, not very small: ter Stegen does not want to leave Barcelona and prefers to stay with the Catalans. According to “MD”, the 27-year-old will even end his career at the Spanish masters. The condition: Barcelona provide a team that regularly plays for the greedy titles.
Barca will not leave their number one either. The club has reportedly already arranged new contract talks in order to prematurely expire the Gladbacher’s working paper, which expires in 2022.

It was while here that I received a screenshot of Facebook messages from my best friend. In these Facebook messages, Steve had messaged a friend of my bestie's saying that he had been" fucked and chucked" . I understood instantly that I was being referred to by him. The rest of the messages were him trying to arrange a date with this other woman. I messaged himdemanding an explanation. I was livid; he chucked and hadn't been fucked. He was playing the pity card to attempt to get this girl on his Lincoln Park Michigan tgirl fuck buddy, and that I wasn't having it( neither was my very best friend) . She soon filled me in to how creepy he had been to her friend; trying to arrange gaming sessions with her at his.

My backpage escorts Alexander City for four days would involve sitting in an exhibition booth, handing out pamphlets for my own organisation. Us all, From the next day Booth Pamphleteers about the exhibition floor discovered that we became buddies and had boredom in ordinary.
Soon I slammed my entire length into her and I let go to achieve forward and grab a handful of monogomous vs casual sex hair and pull back her head with it. She bucked and writhed, and I looked down and watched her asshole pulsing as her orgasm jumped. She would have dropped away from me had never been holding on and it was only when my arms started to ache I realised I had been supporting her fat from her own hair and her hip.
It has two main functions in your own life: imagining what's not real and directing your focus. It's constantly working to process the data coming in. A response is recalled quickly in the subconscious if the information is something your mind is acquainted with. The subconscious mind is relying upon data to shoot the answer back.
It's amazing When Harry Met Backpage escorts are any real Lincoln Park Michigan we refuse to believe the things made in the movie. A remote friendship between a man and a girl is that, a Lincoln Park backpage escorts alternatives.

We must remember if we obey one of our components, that we are controlled. But we are controlled if we are pressured to rebel against our parts. When we tuned out our parents and didn't listen, we probably will tune out the internal critic as well.
By the time that I met my ideal man, I was already an established human being who had views on life and was able to let him see me precisely as I was- - rather than seeing a girl who was prepared to pretend to be able to get exactly what she perceived herself as wanting. When you learn to capitalize on that which you are instead of making yourself fit into someone else's idea of a job for you, life gets better and it gets better in your own terms.
It's not about what would please your parents, what might please your friends, or anybody else for that matter. This whole should benefit you and process all about you.

You need to be confident but not cocky or arrogant, descriptive without being dull or long winded revealing without being overly modest or boastful, and intriguing or misleading.
A side that wants to be naughty and do things their mommy and daddy will NEVER approve of. . . and a poor boy is the perfect man to bring that out naughty side! Bad boys make women believe a DEEP SEXUAL ATTRACTION that they don't sense with guys that are fine.
Why not we enjoy the benefits as long as they backpage escorts pornhub Heath? The truth is as UMs accept that we are inaccessible, there's no reason not to enjoy them. After all they are currently enjoying us too, or they wouldn't disturb.

He started dating Following his painful divorce was finalized. He stopped drinking for a couple months simply to prove it and insisted that he was not an alcoholic but it tore him up inside. He started when she was drinking and resented her tremendously. He had been consumed with resentment rage, fear and self- loathing.
Butonce the novelty had worn away, the sense of wanting to care and to love, to be cherished and to cherish, to be cared for and to be loved, took over. I found that using only a relationship was not enough for me. I needed to associate with a guy on a psychological, emotional and intellectual level. Casual sex does not give you that connection long- term.
You'll notice that nearly all of the big websites specialize relationship class as you investigate the recommended provider websites. Classifications are excellent if you decided that you would like to investigate more than 1class or locate your preferred niche limiters on dating apps Lincoln Park with a internet Lincoln Park Michigan casual sex app 2015 provider that is more preferred.
Come up with the Nickname.Use Nick without sense, which sounds cool but not correlated with anything. Keep away from diminutive caressing names( pussy( bunny) to get the serious attitude to yourself. Do not use nicks of a sensual and sexual character, in order to avoid obscene suggestions( for example, the priestess of love) .
Polyamory on dating apps sure your tone is nonchalant, or it will most likely be perceived as distressed. You can go two ways: either only a statement, or asking her out. Both are combined by the following example.
Obviously, manipulation is one. They will is casual sex feminism Lincoln Park MI people's thoughts and ideas in an irrational fashion to serve their needs. Will they immediately start trying to make the most of you, but they will also benefit from other people.

- Do not be negative, critical when you combine a group or state things that are depressing. Simply don't combine it, if you do not like a bunch. There is nothing worse than having someone join a group they openly hate simply to incite a response.
Advanced Op: Infiltrating a Mixed Pair( a girl and a guy) Just because a goal is hanging out with a man does not means they are" together" The man must just be family, a friend, a experimental dating apps Lincoln Park Michigan or an interested party trying his luck( a. k. a. her" bodyguard" ) .
INTRODUCTION WHAT HUMANS WANT throughout every continent on planet Lincoln Park Michigan and From the dawn of mankind, we humans strive for a common goal- - joy. Americans are even guaranteed the right in the Declaration of Independence of our nation to its 4chan backpage escorts Lincoln Park Michigan. On what is necessary to bring us into this state of happiness and pride, us split. There are places where happiness can be achieved with nothing more than a stick with which to attack it and a Coke bottle. Of course, this is really a type of bliss.
Once backpage escorts exposed Rio Bravo we browsed the stalls, pointing things we knew the other would enjoy out and talking about our interests, taking photographs of the exhibitions. We walked to one stall, lined chock- a- block using Pokémon plushies and his expression was so adorable; like a child in a candy store. I grabbed a second photograph and hauled it.
As usual, it is our relaxation from what might actually bring value to our 18, to escape. One is directly undermining one's own personality as a seducer by renouncing the growth of pursuits that would finish it, from laziness.
She's being told: " A guy isn't your friend. Until he suggests he has the capacity to hurt you by never calling, by sleeping with you rather than phoning, by being cruel. " You should: Never be deliberately or mean. If it was a shag that is one- off, come up and don't toy. Do not leave girls that are damaged around waiting to explode on other men. Also know about the damage since they're too much of a pussy to tell her he's not 33, that many men lead to the psyche of women that are normal and man up. Don't shred her- - find a lie and tell her that so she goes together with her own life and finds someone who wants a connection with her.
" I do not need you. I Lincoln Park MI five kilometres from my home and I don't need to worry about parking. " " How do you do your grocery shopping? " " I've got a basket on the backpage escorts what to know Lincoln Park Michigan. His disappointment was obvious although he slipped into his beer to consider this.

Google is one of 10 companies leading the charge in California toward a new era of transport — driverless cars. Over the last six years, Google’s 25 fully-automated prototype vehicles and 25 Lexus SUVs — outfitted with Google’s self-driving systems — have clocked up more than 1.3 million miles in the U.S.
The Google prototype vehicles are being tested in Mountain View in the San Francisco Bay Area, near the company’s headquarters, while the outfitted Lexus cars are being tested in Austin, Texas. However, the tech giant’s fully-automated prototype’s have suffered a regulatory setback.
A draft autonomous vehicle deployment regulation, issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on December 16, will not permit any fully-automated vehicles. This blocks Google’s prototype vehicles from being deployed until more regulations are developed.
Another obstacle holding up Google is that the draft regulations require a specially licensed driver to be in the vehicle at all times. However, Google was aiming toward meeting the demands of people with physical disabilities that currently have tremendous difficulty with transportation.
Google was even considering a ride-for-hire service, according to comments made by Google co-founder Sergey Brin in 2014, when he unveiled the prototype vehicle at the inaugural Code Conference.
The director of Google’s self-driving program, Chris Urmson, described the DMV’s draft guidelines as a “perplexing move” that falls short of allowing the technology to reach its full potential.
The draft regulations reflect concerns, not only about vehicle safety, but also cybersecurity, and whether fully-automated vehicles are safe from hackers.
Autonomous vehicles, under the draft regulations, will be equipped with self-diagnostic capabilities that can detect and respond to cyber-attacks. The cars will have to be able to alert the operator of such an intrusion, and allow for a fail-proof operator override.
The DMV will issue vehicle manufacturers with a 3-year deployment permit for vehicles so the DMV can collect data to determine the safety of the vehicles in actual road conditions.
So far, testing of the cars has not been carried out in snow and other adverse conditions.
The next stage is garnering public comment on the draft regulations.
California’s DMV indicated that it will consider fully-autonomous vehicles in subsequent regulatory packages.
“While we’re disappointed by this, we will continue to work with the DMV as they seek feedback in the coming months, in the hope that we can recapture the original spirit of the bill,” Urmson from Google wrote in a blog post.
Accident rates higher for driverless cars
The study found that autonomous cars were five times as likely to be involved in a road accident compared with other vehicles.
A key factor behind the accidents is that the driverless cars drive in accordance with the law at all times, and other road users may be unaccustomed to such careful driving.
The cars tend to creep out slowly, and then stop more frequently at intersections, resulting in rear end collisions.
Of the 11 crashes reported while Google’s cars were in autonomous mode since 2012, all 11 occurred at low speeds, and in all cases the autonomous car was not at fault.
Delphi and Audi’s prototype cars were also included in the study, but had traveled only around 3,400 and 550 miles respectively without any crashes.
Self-driving vehicle testing companies approved by the State of California (State of California, 2015a) are:
- Cruise Automation
- Delphi Automotive
- Mercedes Benz
- Tesla Motors
- Volkswagen Group of America (includes Audi)

History and overall condition:
I am the third owner of the car, urchased in Sacramento 4 years ago. I have been restoring and driving it ever since. Before that, he car was located in Chico with the original owner. It has a clear title.
Pans are rust free, hough the driver side door hinge will need some attention. I live less than half a mile from the beach-- any exposed metal or cheap chrome will rust. Though I diligently keep up with prevention, ccasional small rust bubbles happen in the rear near the corner vents. (An issue with all VW Beetles that possess said vents.)
I have addressed the small rust bubbles, ut internal foam insulation needs to be removed to prevent the rust from returning. Otherwise the car is solid and free of rust.
Over the years, invested over $11,000 into the vehicle. She drives well and is a real head-turner! Though not my daily driver, or the last year I have been taking the car on longer cruises and VW car club functions and shows. This car would be a perfect first air-cooled car for the younger VW fan. All of the heavy lifting has been done, nd she’s ready to roll!
Payment and shipping:
Buyer is responsible for shipping
Located in San Francisco Bay Area
I will accept a Paypal deposit, ut require cash or certified check paid in full to release title. This is non-negotiable.
Thank you for looking and please feel free to email me with your reasonable offer.

A glowing Ashley Jensen happily showed off her growing baby bump at last night’s LA premiere of The Invention of Lying.
The 39-year-old actress, who is expecting her first child, recently revealed that she’s been getting baby tips from her Accidentally On Purpose co-star Jenna Elfman, who is also pregnant:
View Slideshow »»
It’s just great. I was asking Jenna for advice on a daily basis anyway because she’s already had a child, so now, we’re going through it together. One day on set she had a little wave of nausea, and she was like, ‘I don’t feel very well,’ so I had to go up and get some little saltine crackers and pretend they were for me — because nobody else knew at the time.”

Duck Breasts with a Citrus Glaze
Cooking duck breasts is easy once you get the hang of it. This recipe works with any duck breast, wild or store-bought.
50g light brown sugar
4 duck breasts, skin on (breasts from two ducks)
1 orange, finely grated rind & juice
1 large lemon, finely grated rind & juice
1 lime, finely grated rind & juice
1 tsp of duck fat or 1 tbsp of olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper
Sugar snap peas & orange wedges, to serve
Score the skin (but not the meat) of the duck breasts with a sharpe knife in a criss-cross pattern, making the criss-cross about 1/2 inch across; this helps the fat render and will give you a crispier skin. Then rub well with salt on both sides, and let it stand on a cutting board for at least 15 minutes.
While the duck is coming up to room temperature, put the sugar in a small saucepan, add just enough water to cover and heat gently until dissolved.
Add the citrus rinds and juices and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until syrupy. Remove from the heat. Taste and add extra sugar if needed. Keep warm.
Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Put one tsp of duck fat or one tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and place the duck breasts skin-down in the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. You want as much fat to render out as possible, so start with a cool pan.
I like my duck so the flesh is just pink. To do this with small ducks like teal, you need only about 3 minutes on the skin side, and you might want to keep the heat higher. Medium-sized ducks like wigeon or wood ducks need 3 to 5 minutes. Larger ducks like mallards and domestic ducks need between 5 and 8 minutes.
Turn the breasts over and lightly salt the skin, this seems to absorb any extra oil and definitely gives you an even yummier, crispier skin. Let the ducks cook on the meat side for less time, roughly a minute or two less than the skin side had.
Take the duck off the heat and let it rest on a cutting board, skin side up. Teal need only need a minute or two rest. Everything else benefits from about a 5 minute rest.
While the duck rests you can boil the sugar snap peas, they only take about 3 minutes to cook.
Slice the duck breasts diagonally into 5-6 slices and transfer to warmed plates.
Arrange the sugar snap peas and oranges wedges on each plate, spoon over the glaze and serve immediately.

Sorry, fellas, but this is a fully-clothed side.
In the August issue of House & Garden, Pamela Anderson just wants to talk about her life as a soccer mom.
"I go to every game!" the actress said.
Anderson has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8, with her ex-husband, Rock Star: Tommy Lee. We're not sure which is more embarassing for these children: their parents' filmed sex romp; or their mother's constant, annoying campaign against innocent fur-wearer such as Beyonce.
The magazine describes Anderson's home as "hippie-chick-meets-Miss Havisham" and shows Anderson in a beach-ready white oxford shirt and shorts. That's almost a normal outfit. How boring.
"I'm obsessed with living on the beach," says the Canada native. "I love being outdoors, and think a tan is very sexy. I'll lie out on white towels strewn with pillows. I don't like to hide under hats!"
There's the Pamela we know and love! Bare your … hair.

Sangma's forum will support NDA, NCP on brink of split
Tara Shankar Sahay in New Delhi | January 19, 2004 20:10 IST
Last Updated: January 19, 2004 21:15 IST
The Purno Sangma-led North Eastern Peoples Forum on Monday decided to align with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Nagaland Chief Minister N Rio, who chaired the meeting of the NEPF's executive committee, has been authorised to take up the matter of joining the NDA.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Sangma said he would have a final meeting in Delhi with Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and Chhattisgarh NCP leader V C Shukla on January 24.
Pawar and Sangma, along with Tariq Anwar, had formed the NCP in 1999 after defecting from the Congress over the issue of its chief, Sonia Gandhi's, foreign origins.
Pawar has made it clear that the NCP will have an understanding with the Congress in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. Sangma, however, wants the party to align with the NDA.
"Under no circumstances can I align with the Congress. I will appeal to Sharad Pawar to change his proposal (of going with that party)," Sangma told reporters in a veiled attack on Sonia Gandhi after the NEPF meeting.
He refused to answer questions about who, between him and NCP president Sharad Pawar, has the majority support in the party.
Today's development indicated that this proposed January 24 meeting could be a mere formality ahead of the parting of ways.

Using Dawn dish soap to grease the rails, MnDOT crews inched the new Larpenteur Avenue Bridge into place two weeks ago using an innovative construction method.
As the bridge reopens to traffic tonight over I-35E, MnDOT celebrates the success of its first slide-in place bridge construction.
“The slide-in worked very well,” said David Herzog, MnDOT’s project manager for the I-35E Corridor – MnPass Project. “I think the process has given us the confidence to possibly use it again in the future.”
The slide-in method has been used in the past for railroad bridges and large bridges with high traffic and limited construction options. Now, state agencies and the Federal Highway Administration are applying the method to smaller, more routine bridges to minimize impacts to the traveling public.
Whereas the typical phased construction of a bridge builds one-half of the structure at a time, slide-in bridge technology allows the entire superstructure to be built at once, requiring just a brief, temporary closure of the highway.
Crews constructed the 3.5-million-pound Larpenteur Bridge right next to the existing bridge and then slowly slid it into place during the course of two nights. This effectively sped up construction from 110 days to 47 and reduced traffic impacts to drivers. (Watch video of the slide.)
The quality of the bridge also improves with this method, since it eliminates the deck construction joints and girder camber problems associated with phased construction, according to the FHWA. The pressure to use faster concrete cure times is also reduced.
With a quarter of the nation’s bridges in need of repair or replacement, the FHWA is pushing the slide-in method as a cost-effective technique that can cut construction time in half. It has previously been used in Oregon, Utah, Missouri, Michigan, Colorado and Massachusetts.
The concept has been around for more than a century, but slide-in technology is relatively new for small or medium-sized bridges, and it’s the first time MnDOT has attempted it on a state bridge.
Although MnDOT staff had flown out to Utah to view a slide-in, it was Burnsville-based Ames Construction that proposed reconstructing the Larpenteur Avenue bridge that way when it made its successful bid for the corridor project.
The slide-in method is about 15 percent more expensive, Herzog said, but it allowed the bridge to re-open in 47 days, versus 110 days.
Earlier this summer, Ames replaced the Wheelock Parkway and Arlington Avenue bridges in conventional fashion, although they were only closed for 65 days because they were constructed on a very accelerated timetable.
“Larpenteur is more of a major thoroughfare and we thought shortening the duration of its closure would be more valuable to MnDOT,” said Steve McPherson of Ames Construction, who was brought in from Utah to oversee the corridor project.
The fast reconstructions will allow the company to complete the bridge replacements and highway reconstruction in just 120 days. Next year it’ll finish the other half of the corridor.
All three bridges are being replaced to make room for the new MnPASS lane on I-35E.
One of the drawbacks to slide-in technology is that it requires ample room to build the bridge on-site. An alternative is to construct off-site.
The new Maryland Avenue/I-35E bridge was built off-site, as was the Hastings Hwy. 61 bridge. It was then loaded onto a barge, floated down the Mississippi River and lifted into place.

Finished to a very high standard.

Unique kimono lapel style opening with hidden pockets.
(verified owner) – April 2, 2018
Very cool back pack! I didn’t really notice from the pictures, but my 15 inch laptop fits nicely in the back compartment (behind the straps); you will need to angle it in, but it’s not that hard. I would say you need a thinner laptop… mine is about 0.78 inches (19.9mm) and it would be a tight fit if you have a laptop sleeve but doable if the sleeve doesn’t protrude out. Apple laptops should fit no problem. If you have larger than 15 inch, it still works if you put it in the main compartment.
The construction is very good and I could this bag taking lots of abuse for years and years. I plan for it to replace my daily work backpack that I commute with. It’ll fit my no-gi and workout outfits great in addition to my work laptop.
One and only complaint I have is that if you don’t pack the bag up really full, that the “Kimono” front-part will look a bit saggy. There’s no strap that you can tighten unfortunately (I’d like to have seen the bottom front strap adjustable so you can make the kimono looser or tighter).
It’s not a big deal but I was thinking I could put a yoga mat between the front kimono section and then tigthen it to hold it secure. Instead, I have a band that I could loop the yoga mat through the top handle that will do the trick, and the kimono part will just hold it in place.
All in all I’m very happy with this bag. I’m replacing a Tumi backpack with this and the construction is actually very similar; similar gray colors, the back ventilation is the same, and the fabric seems just as tough. However, it’s way less expensive than Tumi bags! And it’s more unique and you can rep your martial art side with dope Scramble product s. Win-win here!

Those experiences tell me senior management either ignores or, worse, is ignorant of the critical role a receptionist can play in creating a positive first impression.
In some very subtle ways, your receptionist can make, or break, your organization.
We’re blessed to have an extraordinarily good receptionist by the name of Roslyn Sengo. Roslyn possesses the unique ability to effortlessly field incoming calls, forward important e-mails from potential clients and greet each, and every, visitor with the enthusiasm and respect they deserve.
In the interests of enlightening those of you who view a receptionist as a necessary overhead cost at best, I’ve asked Roslyn to share her advice on how she’s become a true asset to Peppercomm:
- Having customer service experience is a plus. Everyone is a customer and I like to see how businesses present themselves in restaurants, retail stores, hotels etc. I take in all my experiences and use the best practices for myself at the front desk. Everyone just likes to be treated well.
- Don’t take it personal. If people are moody, it really has nothing to do with you.
- Be alert. Being alert is always a work in progress. Like life, you don’t know what will come at you. This also helped me to better prioritize myself and creates better flexibility overall.
- Breathing and centering also helps me to keep balance when things are hectic.
- Being optimistic is also a plus. I happen to be an optimist. When I do have my moody or down moments, just seeing different people often and talking to them changes my vibe and even cheers me up.
So, the next time you’re evaluating the overall experience your organization provides, DO NOT underestimate the role of the receptionist. He or she may be your least understood and most important asset in your arsenal.

CRM for Contractors & Service Business (The Complete Guide)
Have you ever found yourself dreading the phone ringing? Your paperwork and customer tracking system is such a mess ….. imagine getting the phone call from a customer saying “Remember me? You installed my AC unit three years ago at 123 sesame street and I was hoping you’d come back and take a look as it’s making an awful sound.”
The problem is, you don’t remember who they are or what sort of AC unit they have. Will it still be under warranty? Has it been serviced? You can either admit to the customer you don’t remember who they are or try to bluff your way out and send a technician to likely waste a site visit and then decide what to do.
Wouldn’t it just be so much easier if you could search by name or address and bring up all the customer details and job history? You could determine what sort of unit they have, any past issues, the serving history and improve your customer service with your efficiency and ‘great memory’.
What is CRM?
CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management and is a vital tool for your HVAC business. A great CRM is built from years of years of blood sweat and tears along with hours of work. It is your entire history of customers, the work you have done and the source of your future work.
One of the biggest challenges with incorporating CRM into a business can be finding where to start. It can be a daunting process and if you have no previous experience in integrating software like this, it can be easy to get wrong and you’ll find yourself further behind than when you started.
Commercial HVAC Software can help CRM become a vital asset in your business so you can capture important information like:
- Job history
- Email/SMS history
- Lists of Assets
- Access Codes
- Induction checklists
- Induction status
When you can use this information to better understand your customer’s needs, you will find that your team’s efficiency will dramatically increase. Ask yourself, what would it feel like if your HVAC business had an efficient CRM system and you can remove all the unnecessary calls from the field to the office to get a full picture of what is going on at the customer site.
Why Every Contractor and Service Business Should Be Using a CRM
When you have a poorly constructed CRM system, or no CRM at all to speak of, information will get lost. As much as the human brain is amazing it is not going to remember the level of detail about a job, customer or worksite that will help with meaningful activities such as invoicing, quoting or compiling reports.
Without CRM it can be frustrating to keep track of details for each customer that could help you grow your relationship, increase revenue and increase your recommendations.
When a customer calls back….
Nothing looks worse for a business when a long time customer calls for service work and you can’t remember who they are or what work has been done. In any HVAC business, customer service is key and if your customers are getting the impression you don’t care or have the time for them, they are likely to take their business elsewhere.
Customer relationship management can help your customers feel recognised when they call up. You will be able answer that call with all the relevant information on hand. When you have a system for CRM incorporated in to your sales pipeline you can provide quality customer service and have the foundation for call-backs or even to leverage in HVAC marketing plans to market a new campaign to drum up HVAC preventative maintenance contracts or special summer or winter offers.
Save time by removing paper handling
When you have a technician driving across town to a customer’s site and they realise they don’t have the access code to get on site or the job history for the asset, it wastes time chasing paperwork or unnecessary calls to the office. It can be all well and good to have a paper based system for your customer details, but paper can be easily lost, damaged or forgotten and not to mention hard to update. When you and your team turn up to a customer’s site without the information you need you won’t just waste your time, but you look unprofessional and waste time and cost the customer in multiple visits. The expectations of customers on service provision is much higher than it has ever been and customers are quick to cancel or find alternatives and loyalty can disappear overnight. Read our post of the 7 tragedies of paper for HVAC.
With the benefits of automated CRM software you can access all your information in the one, easy to use place and there are no variations between Field and Office. From a mobile phone or tablet your technicians see the same information the office does including asset information, previous asset testing, photos and generate reports in real time.
Keep track of different sites for one customer
Whether you are a big or small HVAC business it can be hard to keep track of multiple sites. The struggle for any HVAC business can be delivering quality services across multiple sites when several new assets are introduced to a site. Setting up your CRM to ensure you can asset new information such as Assets, Tests, Service schedules etc can mean you keep the customer happy and you have full control on what has happened and what is planned for that customer.
How To Get The Most Out Of Your CRM
CRM can be an effective tool for any HVAC business, one of the key steps in making your CRM effective is remembering to update your customer details and information. If your customer changes email address, gets a new asset or replaces a part on an old asset, you want to have that information documented so you can be on top of your game.
When you have an updated job history of your customer’s assets you can see the servicing needs for each asset. This can be an opportunity for you to remind your customer of upcoming service work or even suggest the installation of a new asset to replace an older model that may be costing them more in electricity bills than it should.
When you incorporate an automated field service management software with your customer relationship management you will increase your productivity and get the most out of your CRM.
Define your CRM SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)
Standard Operating Procedures or SOP can greatly assist in defining your CRM and improving customer support for your clients. It also means you can consistently and repeatedly capture the right information at the right time. SOP can be a great point of reference for your team to work from and it can define the level of quality your team needs to provide for your customers.
Mandatory fields when you take a call
Capturing customer data is an important first step when you have a new client. It can be easy to forget something simple like asking for a site address or an email address when talking to a new client. It can look unprofessional when you have to call back to ask for their details.
Having a list of things to ask documented in you SOP can be a great tip to ensure all of your team is on the same page. Basic details can include:
- Name of customer
- Phone numbers
- Email address
- Site address
- Assets on site (manufacturer, model etc)
When you capture the data you need for your customers you start off your relationship on a positive note and allow your team the beat chance of success when visiting the site.
Customised to your own data needs
Just as every customer site is different, we know that every HVAC business is unique in its own way too. You need the data and information you collect to be relevant to your services you provide to customers.
If you are a business that specialises in installing air conditioners, information regarding servicing furnaces may be of no use to you. For this reason you need to define what information you want to obtain.
Begin with asking yourself simple questions. What service do you offer? Who are your customers? To think about what information you need to gather from your data, you need to know what goal you are aiming to achieve. Read out blog about Starting a HVAC business or Running a HVAC business.
Adding checklists and drop downs to speed up data entry
When you capture customer information it can become repetitive and time consuming. A handy tip when customising your data entry is the addition of checklists or drop downs that can save time and ensure nothing is forgotten.
If you know the avatar of your typical customer you can predict questions that you need the customer to answer. If you know you need to ask a new customer “What type of asset do you have on site?” you can have drop downs to reflect this such as “air conditioning unit; refrigeration unit; heating system; furnace; ventilation system” and so on.
Not only does this save time, you can reduce the chance of missing valuable information that could be key to the job.
What are the best CRM software?
Here are some recommendations, but do your own research to determine what is best your business based on features, price , integrations and support.
HubSpot is a CRM software that is widely used to increase customer relationships for a HVAC business. Services like HubSpot can be excellent and well designed, but with expensive start up fees, it isn’t for everyone.

Tweety and Adele: two of the best-ever athletes at Cape
Ain’t she Tweety - I met Diane “Tweety Bird” Travis (only do maiden names) in the parking lot prior to the Oct. 9 field hockey game honoring coach Carolyn Ivins. Travis was wearing her 1979 state championship jacket. Travis isn’t a no-carbs, low-fat, too-gaunt-for-prime-time person, but rather still the broad-shouldered action figure who would run over her grandmother’s head if it were in the way of her scoring a field hockey goal. I was immediately playing defense with Travis, but slowed her down long enough for a “Tweety becomes Mary Poppins” photo. Diane has that "play it forward" high-energy personality, same as it ever was. During her three years ('77-'79) playing for Ivins, Diane scored 74 goals, including 35 in 1979. When old white guys get tired of inducting each other into sports halls of fame, someone should look to Diane Travis, one of the fastest and most aggressive and make-no-excuses women ever to light it up on the high school sports scene.
Adele - No, I’m not talking some fat blues singer “rolling in the deep.” Locally, Adele means one of Cape’s greatest athletes of all time, Adele Mears. Adele played all high school sports at the highest level, then went on to Old Dominion, where she was on two national championship field hockey teams and a 1983 first-team college All-American. The Lady Monarchs won titles in 1982-83-84 with a combined record of 67-1.
Ricky, Don’t Lose That Number - Justin Lopez is Cape football’s leading scorer this season, wearing No. 22. Sammy Leggins wore that number in 1977; then Elijah Worthy, former Gatorade Player of the Year for Cape; then Tykee Perry, great player - too small, he was always told, but went on to play and graduate from Wesley. No. 22 is a sacred and storied number for Cape football and should never be retired; it belongs in the game but should be carefully handed over when Lopez graduates.
Waiver watching - Most times when scholastic student athletes transfer from one school to another, they do so for their own “insider family” reasons, and no one cares if the student is a top-notch trigonometry student taking up a seat in an Advanced Placement class. But if the kid excels in a sport, better watch out, because here come the rules regarding transfers: Adults with 2.2 undergraduate GPAs try to sound like lawyers, and some actually go after a kid who is attending another school and having a great time doing it. There is no chance that I would ever yank the rug from under a high school kid; I wouldn’t care if he/she were living with a fictional relative from a comic strip. I’m just some guy with a sports column. I can see the need for certain waiver requests to be denied by DIAA, but coming after a kid who has long since left your program - that’s a story where all the players need laser lights beamed down on their rule-mongering heads. By the way, my inspiration to “go off” on this has nothing to do with Cape. I’m an advocate of athletes because that is my world.
Snippets - The 3-on-3 basketball challenge is Saturday, Oct. 20, in the Cape gym. This goes from elementary up through open division and costs $40 per team with four games guaranteed. Call coach Steven Re at 410-430-7852 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.org. Hey, coach, get a real email address! Cape’s Legends Stadium has become like a Quaker Meeting House commons area during the fall and spring. The unsung hero for the incredible friendly layout of the new Cape campus is retired Assistant Superintendent Janice Hanwell, who had the talents and vision - not to mention power - to ignore insights and inputs from fly-by-night architects such as myself. Eric Ziady, 47, is the new athletic director at Delaware. He comes after serving as an assistant at Boston College and Northeastern University. I wonder how many times I’ll be introduced before he imprints “Fredman.” Still working on Carper after 37 introductions; that’s why I’m voting for Alex. “No, I can’t get you Citizen Cope tickets, Fredman,” but at least he knows my name. And Ernie Lopez for the state’s 6th District Senate seat. “We love you guys, Fredman” - that’s good enough to turn me into a Republican. Rauul! Go on now, git!

The La Brea Tar Pits are world-renowned fossil sites for good reason—they’re the mass graves of thousands of Ice Age creatures, each with a story to tell. Researchers at the nearby Page Museum clean the asphalt from the fossil remains, and using paleoforensics, recount the grim details of their deaths. In the process, clues emerge about what life was like in prehistoric Los Angeles.

I wish I knew then what I know now – because – then is NOW!
I did it!
As I’ve said before, this blog, other than being my personal, online journal, is a learning tool for me. I figured out how to embed a U tube video. yeah! Yes, Andrea is speaking in Spanish, but hey, I’m in Costa Rica. And she’s Costa Rican.
On a personal note concerning communication: I think it would enhance the life of any U.S. Citizen, to venture into learning the Spanish language. Look at a map. These countries, the western hemisphere, are our neighbors. If you don’t want to, I realize it’s a personal choice, but I can tell you, it has enriched my life greatly, what little Spanglish and Pidgeon that I speak. I am always working to improve.
This video is about an organization, that Andrea is involved in, teaching life skills through surfing. You can read an article about it in English, in my previous post, Andrea Diaz. It’s by CRSurf and it’s linked by the word, here.
This is a video of the Roxy/Quicksilver Waves Camp- Surf School- here in Costa Rica. Andrea and fellow Costa Rica surf champions are instructors!
Girls do surf!
*And look, they’re teaching Pipeline Style!
When I pulled into the Playa Avellanas parking lot, the Roxy/Quicksilver van was there. I’ve seen it, off and on, through the years. A lot of camps transport surfers here, to surf the Dead Tree break. I caught some waves and then got out of the water, to get my Olympus TG-2. There were some local kids out and I wanted the practice.
To my surprise, I came face to face, with Andrea Diaz-the Costa Rican, surf champion. In August of 2012, she placed fifth, at the World Masters, held in Colorado/Nicaragua.
I had just seen her in a presentation, via Jorge Mora, board shaper and owner of Sick Surfboards. It’s on U Tube. The video is called Surf for Youth 2013. Andrea and other surfers are giving back to the local community.
Here is a write up by CR surf explaining what they do.
Jorge is actually here, now, in Costa Rica, doing what he can to help out this super-worth while effort.
Andrea is one of the instructors for the Roxy/Quicksilver Surf Camp ~Waves Costa Rica.
I never know who I’m going to run into here.
What an honor-what a good day.
Emilie Seris-smart, adventurous, world traveling, surfer chic and engineer.
Longtime supporter and avid reader of Salt Gypsy, Emilie Seris is the kind of chica we`d love to meet up with in the lineup. About to gypsy-off on more surf adventures around France, New York, LA and Mexico (can we come??), here`s just a snippet of her story….
I am French, from the South of France, Toulouse, which is a bit inland from the surf. I was very keen and independent from a relatively young age, taking the train on my own at 16 years old so I could go to the beach. My parents have always left me very free. I came to Australia 12 years ago as part of my studies and to surf of course. I wanted to find somewhere where I could combine a good career and surfing. Being good at science, I ended up an engineer and Sydney allows me to do that and surf…

Eve is from Switzerland. She has been a world traveler most of her life, like many of the people, who I meet in Costa Rica. She is a skater and snowboarder, as well as a skydiver.
It’s going to be nice to meet up with a friend in Tamarindo, and warm up on some small waves. There are bigger waves there at times, but on average, it’s the Waikiki of Costa.
It won’t be long and I’ll be headed back to the East Coast. I followed my friend to his break, San Onofre, and settled in to take pics. The waves were small, but the sun had come out. These waves are long and it gives a person a chance, to set up and walk around. These women are regulars and practiced. I enjoyed watching and shooting.
I don’t look forward to the flight.
I have done so much in the last week. I’ve visited bad old haunts and good old friends.
It’s been great.
California Bucket List
I have been waiting on waves in Florida, for a long time. We finally are getting some hurricane force offshore. I took these photos AFTER the GOOD surf session. Sorry about any blurs. The camera wants to focus on waves in front of the surfers. It’s just another challenge. Something new to learn.

A Natural, Resilient Place
Valuing the Natural Environment
193. The natural environment forms the foundation of the spatial strategy set out in NPF3. The environment is a valued national asset offering a wide range of opportunities for enjoyment, recreation and sustainable economic activity. Planning plays an important role in protecting, enhancing and promoting access to our key environmental resources, whilst supporting their sustainable use.
194. The planning system should:
- facilitate positive change while maintaining and enhancing distinctive landscape character;
- conserve and enhance protected sites and species, taking account of the need to maintain healthy ecosystems and work with the natural processes which provide important services to communities;
- promote protection and improvement of the water environment, including rivers, lochs, estuaries, wetlands, coastal waters and groundwater, in a sustainable and co-ordinated way;
- seek to protect soils from damage such as erosion or compaction;
- protect and enhance ancient semi-natural woodland as an important and irreplaceable resource, together with other native or long-established woods, hedgerows and individual trees with high nature conservation or landscape value;
- seek benefits for biodiversity from new development where possible, including the restoration of degraded habitats and the avoidance of further fragmentation or isolation of habitats; and
- support opportunities for enjoying and learning about the natural environment.
195. Planning authorities, and all public bodies, have a duty under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 to further the conservation of biodiversity. This duty must be reflected in development plans and development management decisions. They also have a duty under the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 to protect and improve Scotland's water environment. The Scottish Government expects public bodies to apply the Principles for Sustainable Land Use, as set out in the Land Use Strategy, when taking significant decisions affecting the use of land.
196. International, national and locally designated areas and sites should be identified and afforded the appropriate level of protection in development plans. Reasons for local designation should be clearly explained and their function and continuing relevance considered when preparing plans. Buffer zones should not be established around areas designated for their natural heritage importance. Plans should set out the factors which will be taken into account in development management. The level of protection given to local designations should not be as high as that given to international or national designations.
197. Planning authorities are encouraged to limit non-statutory local designations to areas designated for their local landscape or nature conservation value:
- the purpose of areas of local landscape value should be to:
- safeguard and enhance the character and quality of a landscape which is important or particularly valued locally or regionally; or
- promote understanding and awareness of the distinctive character and special qualities of local landscapes; or
- safeguard and promote important local settings for outdoor recreation and tourism.
- local nature conservation sites should seek to accommodate the following factors:
- species diversity, species or habitat rarity, naturalness and extent of habitat;
- contribution to national and local biodiversity objectives;
- potential contribution to the protection or enhancement of connectivity between habitats or the development of green networks; and
- potential to facilitate enjoyment and understanding of natural heritage.
198. Local nature conservation sites designated for their geodiversity should be selected for their value for scientific study and education, their historical significance and cultural and aesthetic value, and for their potential to promote public awareness and enjoyment.
199. Plans should address the potential effects of development on the natural environment, including proposals for major-accident hazard sites and the cumulative effects of incremental changes. They should consider the natural and cultural components together, and promote opportunities for the enhancement of degraded landscapes, particularly where this helps to restore or strengthen the natural processes which underpin the well-being and resilience of communities.
200. Wild land character is displayed in some of Scotland's remoter upland, mountain and coastal areas, which are very sensitive to any form of intrusive human activity and have little or no capacity to accept new development. Plans should identify and safeguard the character of areas of wild land as identified on the 2014 SNH map of wild land areas.
201. Plans should identify woodlands of high nature conservation value and include policies for protecting them and enhancing their condition and resilience to climate change. Forestry Commission Scotland's Native Woodland Survey of Scotland provides information and guidance. Planning authorities should consider preparing forestry and woodland strategies as supplementary guidance to inform the development of forestry and woodland in their area, including the expansion of woodland of a range of types to provide multiple benefits. Scottish Government advice on planning for forestry and woodlands is set out in The Right Tree in the Right Place.
202. The siting and design of development should take account of local landscape character. Development management decisions should take account of potential effects on landscapes and the natural and water environment, including cumulative effects. Developers should seek to minimise adverse impacts through careful planning and design, considering the services that the natural environment is providing and maximising the potential for enhancement.
203. Planning permission should be refused where the nature or scale of proposed development would have an unacceptable impact on the natural environment. Direct or indirect effects on statutorily protected sites will be an important consideration, but designation does not impose an automatic prohibition on development.
204. Planning authorities should apply the precautionary principle where the impacts of a proposed development on nationally or internationally significant landscape or natural heritage resources are uncertain but there is sound evidence indicating that significant irreversible damage could occur. The precautionary principle should not be used to impede development without justification. If there is any likelihood that significant irreversible damage could occur, modifications to the proposal to eliminate the risk of such damage should be considered. If there is uncertainty, the potential for research, surveys or assessments to remove or reduce uncertainty should be considered.
205. Where peat and other carbon rich soils are present, applicants should assess the likely effects of development on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Where peatland is drained or otherwise disturbed, there is liable to be a release of CO2 to the atmosphere. Developments should aim to minimise this release.
206. Where non-native species are present on site, or where planting is planned as part of a development, developers should take into account the provisions of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 relating to non-native species.
Natura 2000 Sites
207. Sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) make up the Natura 2000 network of protected areas. Any development plan or proposal likely to have a significant effect on these sites which is not directly connected with or necessary to their conservation management must be subject to an "appropriate assessment" of the implications for the conservation objectives. Such plans or proposals may only be approved if the competent authority has ascertained by means of an "appropriate assessment" that there will be no adverse effect on the integrity of the site.
208. A derogation is available for authorities to approve plans or projects which could adversely affect the integrity of a Natura site if:
- there are no alternative solutions;
- there are imperative reasons of overriding public interest, including those of a social or economic nature; and
- compensatory measures are provided to ensure that the overall coherence of the Natura network is protected.
209. If an authority wishes to use this derogation, Scottish Ministers must be notified. For sites hosting a priority habitat or species (as defined in Article 1 of the Habitats Directive), prior consultation with the European Commission via Scottish Ministers is required unless either the proposal is necessary for public health or safety reasons or it will have beneficial consequences of primary importance to the environment.
210. Authorities should afford the same level of protection to proposed SACs and SPAs (i.e. sites which have been approved by Scottish Ministers for formal consultation but which have not yet been designated) as they do to sites which have been designated.
211. All Ramsar sites are also Natura 2000 sites and/or Sites of Special Scientific Interest and are protected under the relevant statutory regimes.
212. Development that affects a National Park, National Scenic Area, Site of Special Scientific Interest or a National Nature Reserve should only be permitted where:
- the objectives of designation and the overall integrity of the area will not be compromised; or
- any significant adverse effects on the qualities for which the area has been designated are clearly outweighed by social, environmental or economic benefits of national importance.
213. Planning decisions for development within National Parks must be consistent with paragraphs 84-85.
214. The presence (or potential presence) of a legally protected species is an important consideration in decisions on planning applications. If there is evidence to suggest that a protected species is present on site or may be affected by a proposed development, steps must be taken to establish their presence. The level of protection afforded by legislation must be factored into the planning and design of the development and any impacts must be fully considered prior to the determination of the application. Certain activities - for example those involving European Protected Species as specified in the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 and wild birds, protected animals and plants under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 - may only be undertaken under licence. Following the introduction of the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011, Scottish Natural Heritage is now responsible for the majority of wildlife licensing in Scotland.
Areas of Wild Land
215. In areas of wild land (see paragraph 200), development may be appropriate in some circumstances. Further consideration will be required to demonstrate that any significant effects on the qualities of these areas can be substantially overcome by siting, design or other mitigation.
216. Ancient semi-natural woodland is an irreplaceable resource and, along with other woodlands, hedgerows and individual trees, especially veteran trees of high nature conservation and landscape value, should be protected from adverse impacts resulting from development. Tree Preservation Orders can be used to protect individual trees and groups of trees considered important for amenity or their cultural or historic interest.
217. Where appropriate, planning authorities should seek opportunities to create new woodland and plant native trees in association with development. If a development would result in the severing or impairment of connectivity between important woodland habitats, workable mitigation measures should be identified and implemented, preferably linked to a wider green network (see also the section on green infrastructure).
218. The Scottish Government's Control of Woodland Removal Policy includes a presumption in favour of protecting woodland. Removal should only be permitted where it would achieve significant and clearly defined additional public benefits. Where woodland is removed in association with development, developers will generally be expected to provide compensatory planting. The criteria for determining the acceptability of woodland removal and further information on the implementation of the policy is explained in the Control of Woodland Removal Policy, and this should be taken into account when preparing development plans and determining planning applications.
Maximising the Benefits of Green Infrastructure
219. NPF3 aims to significantly enhance green infrastructure networks, particularly in and around our cities and towns. Green infrastructure and improved access to open space can help to build stronger, healthier communities. It is an essential part of our long-term environmental performance and climate resilience. Improving the quality of our places and spaces through integrated green infrastructure networks can also encourage investment and development.
220. Planning should protect, enhance and promote green infrastructure, including open space and green networks, as an integral component of successful placemaking.
221. The planning system should:
- consider green infrastructure as an integral element of places from the outset of the planning process;
- assess current and future needs and opportunities for green infrastructure to provide multiple benefits;
- facilitate the provision and long-term, integrated management of green infrastructure and prevent fragmentation; and
- provide for easy and safe access to and within green infrastructure, including core paths and other important routes, within the context of statutory access rights under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003.
222. Development plans should be based on a holistic, integrated and cross-sectoral approach to green infrastructure. They should be informed by relevant, up-to-date audits, strategies and action plans covering green infrastructure's multiple functions, for example open space, playing fields, pitches, outdoor access, core paths, active travel strategies, the historic environment, biodiversity, forestry and woodland, river basins, flood management, coastal zones and the marine environment. Plans should promote consistency with these and reflect their priorities and spatial implications.
223. Strategic development plans should safeguard existing strategic or regionally important assets and identify strategic priorities for green infrastructure addressing cross-boundary needs and opportunities.
224. Local development plans should identify and protect open space identified in the open space audit and strategy as valued and functional or capable of being brought into use to meet local needs.
225. Local development plans should seek to enhance existing and promote the creation of new green infrastructure, which may include retrofitting. They should do this through a design-led approach, applying standards which facilitate appropriate provision, addressing deficits or surpluses within the local context. The standards delivered through a design-led approach should result in a proposal that is appropriate to place, including connections to other green infrastructure assets. Supplementary guidance or master plans may be used to achieve this.
226. Local development plans should identify sites for new indoor or outdoor sports, recreation or play facilities where a need has been identified in a local facility strategy, playing field strategy or similar document. They should provide for good quality, accessible facilities in sufficient quantity to satisfy current and likely future community demand. Outdoor sports facilities should be safeguarded from development except where:
- the proposed development is ancillary to the principal use of the site as an outdoor sports facility;
- the proposed development involves only a minor part of the outdoor sports facility and would not affect its use and potential for sport and training;
- the outdoor sports facility which would be lost would be replaced either by a new facility of comparable or greater benefit for sport in a location that is convenient for users, or by the upgrading of an existing outdoor sports facility to provide a facility of better quality on the same site or at another location that is convenient for users and maintains or improves the overall playing capacity in the area; or
- the relevant strategy (see paragraph 224) and consultation with sportscotland show that there is a clear excess of provision to meet current and anticipated demand in the area, and that the site would be developed without detriment to the overall quality of provision.
227. Local development plans should safeguard existing and potential allotment sites to ensure that local authorities meet their statutory duty to provide allotments where there is proven demand. Plans should also encourage opportunities for a range of community growing spaces.
228. Local development plans should safeguard access rights and core paths, and encourage new and enhanced opportunities for access linked to wider networks.
229. Local development plans should encourage the temporary use of unused or underused land as green infrastructure while making clear that this will not prevent any future development potential which has been identified from being realised. This type of greening may provide the advance structure planting to create the landscape framework for any future development.
230. Development of land allocated as green infrastructure for an unrelated purpose should have a strong justification. This should be based on evidence from relevant audits and strategies that the proposal will not result in a deficit of that type of provision within the local area and that alternative sites have been considered. Poor maintenance and neglect should not be used as a justification for development for other purposes.
231. Development proposals that would result in or exacerbate a deficit of green infrastructure should include provision to remedy that deficit with accessible infrastructure of an appropriate type, quantity and quality.
232. In the design of green infrastructure, consideration should be given to the qualities of successful places. Green infrastructure should be treated as an integral element in how the proposal responds to local circumstances, including being well-integrated into the overall design layout and multi-functional. Arrangements for the long-term management and maintenance of green infrastructure, and associated water features, including common facilities, should be incorporated into any planning permission.
233. Proposals that affect regional and country parks must have regard to their statutory purpose of providing recreational access to the countryside close to centres of population, and should take account of their wider objectives as set out in their management plans and strategies.
Promoting Responsible Extraction of Resources
234. Minerals make an important contribution to the economy, providing materials for construction, energy supply and other uses, and supporting employment. NPF3 notes that minerals will be required as construction materials to support our ambition for diversification of the energy mix. Planning should safeguard mineral resources and facilitate their responsible use. Our spatial strategy underlines the need to address restoration of past minerals extraction sites in and around the Central Belt.
235. The planning system should:
- recognise the national benefit of indigenous coal, oil and gas production in maintaining a diverse energy mix and improving energy security;
- safeguard workable resources and ensure that an adequate and steady supply is available to meet the needs of the construction, energy and other sectors;
- minimise the impacts of extraction on local communities, the environment and the built and natural heritage; and
- secure the sustainable restoration of sites to beneficial afteruse after working has ceased.
236. Strategic development plans should ensure that adequate supplies of construction aggregates can be made available from within the plan area to meet the likely development needs of the city region over the plan period.
237. Local development plans should safeguard all workable mineral resources which are of economic or conservation value and ensure that these are not sterilised by other development. Plans should set out the factors that specific proposals will need to address, including:
- disturbance, disruption and noise, blasting and vibration, and potential pollution of land, air and water;
- impacts on local communities, individual houses, sensitive receptors and economic sectors important to the local economy;
- benefits to the local and national economy;
- cumulative impact with other mineral and landfill sites in the area;
- effects on natural heritage, habitats and the historic environment;
- landscape and visual impacts, including cumulative effects;
- transport impacts; and
- restoration and aftercare (including any benefits in terms of the remediation of existing areas of dereliction or instability).
238. Plans should support the maintenance of a landbank of permitted reserves for construction aggregates of at least 10 years at all times in all market areas through the identification of areas of search. Such areas can be promoted by developers or landowners as part of the plan preparation process or by planning authorities where they wish to guide development to particular areas. As an alternative, a criteria-based approach may be taken, particularly where a sufficient landbank already exists or substantial unconstrained deposits are available.
239. Local development plans should identify areas of search where surface coal extraction is most likely to be acceptable during the plan period and set out the preferred programme for the development of other safeguarded areas beyond the plan period, with particular emphasis on protecting local communities from significant cumulative impacts. Where possible, plans should secure extraction prior to permanent development above workable coal reserves.
240. For areas covered by a Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence (PEDL), local development plans should also:
- identify licence areas;
- encourage operators to be as clear as possible about the minimum and maximum extent of operations (e.g. number of wells and duration) at the exploration phase whilst recognising that the factors to be addressed by applications should be relevant and proportionate to the appropriate exploration, appraisal and production phases of operations;
- confirm that applicants should engage with local communities, residents and other stakeholders at each stage of operations, beginning in advance of any application for planning permission and in advance of any operations;
- ensure that when developing proposals, applicants should consider, where possible, transport of the end product by pipeline, rail or water rather than road; and
- provide a consistent approach to extraction where licences extend across local authority boundaries.
241. Policies should protect areas of peatland and only permit commercial extraction in areas suffering historic, significant damage through human activity and where the conservation value is low and restoration is impossible.
242. Operators should provide sufficient information to enable a full assessment to be made of the likely effects of development together with appropriate control, mitigation and monitoring measures. This should include the provision of an adequate buffer zone between sites and settlements, taking account of the specific circumstances of individual proposals, including size, duration, location, method of working, topography, the characteristics of the various environmental effects likely to arise and the mitigation that can be provided.
243. Borrow pits should only be permitted if there are significant environmental or economic benefits compared to obtaining material from local quarries; they are time-limited; tied to a particular project and appropriate reclamation measures are in place.
244. Consent should only be granted for surface coal extraction proposals which are either environmentally acceptable (or can be made so by planning conditions) or provide local or community benefits which clearly outweigh the likely impacts of extraction. Site boundaries within 500 metres of the edge of settlements will only be environmentally acceptable where local circumstances, such as the removal of dereliction, small-scale prior extraction or the stabilisation of mining legacy, justify a lesser distance. Non-engineering works and mitigation measures within 500 metres may be acceptable.
245. To assist planning authorities with their consideration of impacts on local communities, neighbouring uses and the environment, applicants should undertake a risk assessment for all proposals for shale gas and coal bed methane extraction. The assessment can, where appropriate, be undertaken as part of any environmental impact assessment and should also be developed in consultation with statutory consultees and local communities so that it informs the design of the proposal. The assessment should clearly identify those onsite activities (i.e. emission of pollutants, the creation and disposal of waste) that pose a potential risk using a source-pathway-receptor model and explain how measures, including those under environmental and other legislation, will be used to monitor, manage and mitigate any identified risks to health, amenity and the environment. The evidence from, and outcome of, the assessment should lead to buffer zones being proposed in the application which will protect all sensitive receptors from unacceptable risks. When considering applications, planning authorities and statutory consultees must assess the distances proposed by the applicant. Where proposed distances are considered inadequate the Scottish Government expects planning permission to be refused.
246. Conditions should be drafted in a way which ensures that hydraulic fracturing does not take place where permission for such operations is not sought and that any subsequent application to do so is subject to appropriate consultation. If such operations are subsequently proposed, they should, as a matter of planning policy, be regarded as a substantial change in the description of the development for which planning permission is sought or a material variation to the existing planning permission. Where PEDL and Underground Coal licences are granted for the same or overlapping areas, consideration should be given to the most efficient sequencing of extraction.
247. The Scottish Government is currently exploring a range of options relating to the effective regulation of surface coal mining. This is likely to result in further guidance on effective restoration measures in due course. In the meantime, planning authorities should, through planning conditions and legal agreements, continue to ensure that a high standard of restoration and aftercare is managed effectively and that such work is undertaken at the earliest opportunity. A range of financial guarantee options is currently available and planning authorities should consider the most effective solution on a site-by-site basis. All solutions should provide assurance and clarity over the amount and period of the guarantee and in particular, where it is a bond, the risks covered (including operator failure) and the triggers for calling in a bond, including payment terms. In the aggregates sector, an operator may be able to demonstrate adequate provision under an industry-funded guarantee scheme.
248. Planning authorities should ensure that rigorous procedures are in place to monitor consents, including restoration arrangements, at appropriate intervals, and ensure that appropriate action is taken when necessary. The review of mineral permissions every 15 years should be used to apply up-to-date operating and environmental standards although requests from operators to postpone reviews should be considered favourably if existing conditions are already achieving acceptable standards. Conditions should not impose undue restrictions on consents at quarries for building or roofing stone to reflect the likely intermittent or low rate of working at such sites. Supporting Aquaculture
249. Aquaculture makes a significant contribution to the Scottish economy, particularly for coastal and island communities. Planning can help facilitate sustainable aquaculture whilst protecting and maintaining the ecosystem upon which it depends. Planning can play a role in supporting the sectoral growth targets to grow marine finfish (including farmed Atlantic salmon) production sustainably to 210,000 tonnes; and shellfish, particularly mussels, sustainably to 13,000 tonnes with due regard to the marine environment by 2020.
250. The planning system should:
- play a supporting role in the sustainable growth of the finfish and shellfish sectors to ensure that the aquaculture industry is diverse, competitive and economically viable;
- guide development to coastal locations that best suit industry needs with due regard to the marine environment;
- maintain a presumption against further marine finfish farm developments on the north and east coasts to safeguard migratory fish species.
251. Local development plans should make positive provision for aquaculture developments. Plans, or supplementary guidance, should take account of Marine Scotland's locational policies when identifying areas potentially suitable for new development and sensitive areas which are unlikely to be appropriate for such development. They should also set out the issues that will be considered when assessing specific proposals, which could include:
- impacts on, and benefits for, local communities;
- economic benefits of the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry;
- landscape, seascape and visual impact;
- biological carrying capacity;
- effects on coastal and marine species (including wild salmonids) and habitats;
- impacts on the historic environment and the sea or loch bed;
- interaction with other users of the marine environment (including commercial fisheries, Ministry of Defence, navigational routes, ports and harbours, anchorages, tourism, recreational and leisure activities); and
- cumulative effects on all of the above factors.
252. Applications should be supported, where necessary, by sufficient information to demonstrate:
- operational arrangements (including noise, light, access, waste and odour) are satisfactory and sufficient mitigation plans are in place; and
- the siting and design of cages, lines and associated facilities are appropriate for the location. This should be done through the provision of information on the extent of the site; the type, number and physical scale of structures; the distribution of the structures across the planning area; on-shore facilities; and ancillary equipment.
253. Any land-based facilities required for the proposal should, where possible, be considered at the same time. The planning system should not duplicate other control regimes such as controlled activities regulation licences from SEPA or fish health, sea lice and containment regulation by Marine Scotland.
Managing Flood Risk and Drainage
254. NPF3 supports a catchment-scale approach to sustainable flood risk management. The spatial strategy aims to build the resilience of our cities and towns, encourage sustainable land management in our rural areas, and to address the long-term vulnerability of parts of our coasts and islands. Flooding can impact on people and businesses. Climate change will increase the risk of flooding in some parts of the country. Planning can play an important part in reducing the vulnerability of existing and future development to flooding.
255. The planning system should promote:
- a precautionary approach to flood risk from all sources, including coastal, water course (fluvial), surface water (pluvial), groundwater, reservoirs and drainage systems (sewers and culverts), taking account of the predicted effects of climate change;
- flood avoidance: by safeguarding flood storage and conveying capacity, and locating development away from functional flood plains and medium to high risk areas;
- flood reduction: assessing flood risk and, where appropriate, undertaking natural and structural flood management measures, including flood protection, restoring natural features and characteristics, enhancing flood storage capacity, avoiding the construction of new culverts and opening existing culverts where possible; and
- avoidance of increased surface water flooding through requirements for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and minimising the area of impermeable surface.
256. To achieve this the planning system should prevent development which would have a significant probability of being affected by flooding or would increase the probability of flooding elsewhere. Piecemeal reduction of the functional floodplain should be avoided given the cumulative effects of reducing storage capacity.
257. Alterations and small-scale extensions to existing buildings are outwith the scope of this policy, provided that they would not have a significant effect on the storage capacity of the functional floodplain or local flooding problems.
258. Planning authorities should have regard to the probability of flooding from all sources and take flood risk into account when preparing development plans and determining planning applications. The calculated probability of flooding should be regarded as a best estimate and not a precise forecast. Authorities should avoid giving any indication that a grant of planning permission implies the absence of flood risk.
259. Developers should take into account flood risk and the ability of future occupiers to insure development before committing themselves to a site or project, as applicants and occupiers have ultimate responsibility for safeguarding their property.
260. Plans should use strategic flood risk assessment (SFRA) to inform choices about the location of development and policies for flood risk management. They should have regard to the flood maps prepared by Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), and take account of finalised and approved Flood Risk Management Strategies and Plans and River Basin Management Plans.
261. Strategic and local development plans should address any significant cross boundary flooding issues. This may include identifying major areas of the flood plain and storage capacity which should be protected from inappropriate development, major flood protection scheme requirements or proposals, and relevant drainage capacity issues.
262. Local development plans should protect land with the potential to contribute to managing flood risk, for instance through natural flood management, managed coastal realignment, washland or green infrastructure creation, or as part of a scheme to manage flood risk.
263. Local development plans should use the following flood risk framework to guide development. This sets out three categories of coastal and watercourse flood risk, together with guidance on surface water flooding, and the appropriate planning approach for each (the annual probabilities referred to in the framework relate to the land at the time a plan is being prepared or a planning application is made):
- Little or No Risk - annual probability of coastal or watercourse flooding is less than 0.1% (1:1000 years)
- No constraints due to coastal or watercourse flooding.
- Low to Medium Risk - annual probability of coastal or watercourse flooding is between 0.1% and 0.5% (1:1000 to 1:200 years)
- Suitable for most development. A flood risk assessment may be required at the upper end of the probability range (i.e. close to 0.5%), and for essential infrastructure and the most vulnerable uses. Water resistant materials and construction may be required.
- Generally not suitable for civil infrastructure. Where civil infrastructure must be located in these areas or is being substantially extended, it should be designed to be capable of remaining operational and accessible during extreme flood events.
- Medium to High Risk - annual probability of coastal or watercourse flooding is greater than 0.5% (1:200 years)
- May be suitable for:
- residential, institutional, commercial and industrial development within built-up areas provided flood protection measures to the appropriate standard already exist and are maintained, are under construction, or are a planned measure in a current flood risk management plan;
- essential infrastructure within built-up areas, designed and constructed to remain operational during floods and not impede water flow;
- some recreational, sport, amenity and nature conservation uses, provided appropriate evacuation procedures are in place; and
- job-related accommodation, e.g. for caretakers or operational staff.
- Generally not suitable for:
- civil infrastructure and the most vulnerable uses;
- additional development in undeveloped and sparsely developed areas, unless a location is essential for operational reasons, e.g. for navigation and water-based recreation, agriculture, transport or utilities infrastructure (which should be designed and constructed to be operational during floods and not impede water flow), and an alternative, lower risk location is not available; and
- new caravan and camping sites.
- Where built development is permitted, measures to protect against or manage flood risk will be required and any loss of flood storage capacity mitigated to achieve a neutral or better outcome.
- Water-resistant materials and construction should be used where appropriate. Elevated buildings on structures such as stilts are unlikely to be acceptable.
Surface Water Flooding
- Infrastructure and buildings should generally be designed to be free from surface water flooding in rainfall events where the annual probability of occurrence is greater than 0.5% (1:200 years).
- Surface water drainage measures should have a neutral or better effect on the risk of flooding both on and off the site, taking account of rain falling on the site and run-off from adjacent areas.
264. It is not possible to plan for development solely according to the calculated probability of flooding. In applying the risk framework to proposed development, the following should therefore be taken into account:
- the characteristics of the site;
- the design and use of the proposed development;
- the size of the area likely to flood;
- depth of flood water, likely flow rate and path, and rate of rise and duration;
- the vulnerability and risk of wave action for coastal sites;
- committed and existing flood protection methods: extent, standard and maintenance regime;
- the effects of climate change, including an allowance for freeboard;
- surface water run-off from adjoining land;
- culverted watercourses, drains and field drainage;
- cumulative effects, especially the loss of storage capacity;
- cross-boundary effects and the need for consultation with adjacent authorities;
- effects of flood on access including by emergency services; and
- effects of flood on proposed open spaces including gardens.
265. Land raising should only be considered in exceptional circumstances, where it is shown to have a neutral or better impact on flood risk outside the raised area. Compensatory storage may be required.
266. The flood risk framework set out above should be applied to development management decisions. Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) should be required for development in the medium to high category of flood risk, and may be required in the low to medium category in the circumstances described in the framework above, or where other factors indicate heightened risk. FRA will generally be required for applications within areas identified at high or medium likelihood of flooding/flood risk in SEPA's flood maps.
267. Drainage Assessments, proportionate to the development proposal and covering both surface and foul water, will be required for areas where drainage is already constrained or otherwise problematic, or if there would be off-site effects.
268. Proposed arrangements for SuDS should be adequate for the development and appropriate long-term maintenance arrangements should be put in place.
