He said the ministry has also set up an advisory panel to look at safety measures on the highway. The committee includes Todd, representing the mayors’ caucus and Leeds and Grenville Warden Robin Jones for the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. |
Todd said a phone conference with the advisory panel has been set up for next week to discuss the ministry’s proposals for speed reductions and other immediate measures. |
Todd expressed some frustration at how long it has taken the ministry to respond to the mayors’ concerns after the March 14 spill. |
Home » Frequently asked Questions on Health » Am I suffering from any throat disease? |
Q: I am a 43 years old male suffering from throat problem for the last two weeks. On drinking water, I feel something is in my throat like a very small ball, which seems to come up. I have no pain, hoarseness or swelling. Am I suffering from any disease? |
A:The condition is called globus and it occurs in dry swallow. Get a barium swallow done to exclude any lesion. Antacids along with domperidon help if all is normal. Worrying makes the condition worse. In gross organic disease, the difficulty is more with solid foods. |
The Paradigm building at Thorpe Park in Leeds has been sold for £10.2m. |
Scarborough International Properties and its partner, Legal & General, have sold a prime office building which consists of 31,650 sq ft of Grade A office space across three floors and 122 car parking spaces. |
It is fully let on 10-year leases to four tenants, Pure Retirement (12,575 sq ft), Wates Construction (10,275 sq ft), EP UK Investments Limited (6,250 sq ft), and Renew Holdings (2,550 sq ft). |
Knight Frank acted for the vendors and CBRE acted on behalf of the buyer. |
Paul Holcroft, Director of Asset Management at Scarborough, said: “As the first speculative office building in this phase, Paradigm has been a very successful project. |
“Following the completion of The Springs we have seen a significant increase in the number of office occupiers turning their attention to Thorpe Park, attracted by the ease of getting here either by car or public transport, the availability of parking, the feel of open space and the convenience of The Springs on the do... |

Paradigm is part of the £162 million phase two development at the Thorpe Park Leeds and was the development’s first speculative office building. |
Located directly off Junction 46 of the M1 motorway, Thorpe Park Leeds is an established business location with 800,000 sq ft of development built and occupied to date, including 600,000 sq ft of offices. More than 60 blue chip businesses occupy space at Thorpe Park Leeds employing around 4,500 people. |
Following a £162 million investment deal with Legal & General Capital, Scarborough and Legal & General are progressing a transformational 1.35 million sq ft mixed-use expansion, bringing forward exceptional new business opportunities to the Leeds City Region. |

Soldiers from Suffolk are returning to RAF Honington following a deployment in Afghanistan. |
18 soldiers from 1 Royal Tank Regiment will return today followed by a further 18 on Friday. |
A total of 110 soldiers will are returning in the next four weeks following their deployment as part of 12th Mechanized Brigade in Helmand Province. |
The Squadron has been providing assistance to other troops including support to the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment. |
The soldiers were involved in fighting the insurgents, patrolling towns and villages and providing protected mobility to the troops on the ground. |
A further 96 soldiers from the Regiment will remain in Afghanistan until the start of November. |
Based in Camp Bastion, the soldiers are responsible for delivering the Reception, Staging and Onward Integration (RSOI) training that is mandatory for all soldiers entering Afghanistan. |
It is the final stage of a six-month-long training package to ensure that the soldiers have the most up-to-date tactics, techniques, procedures and intelligence at their disposal. |
Taylor Swift performs during her Reputation tour at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in 2018. |
The “Famous” rivalry between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian is the feud that keeps on giving. |
Though she didn’t use the reality star’s name, the subtext was there given Swift’s long-running feud with rapper Kanye West and later his wife, Kim Kardashian, who famously referred to Swift as a “snake” on social media. |
The drama played out in 2016 when Swift denied giving her approval for a lyric in West’s song “Famous,” and Kardashian took it upon herself to release audio indicating otherwise. |
But Swift, who has been vocal about the social media backlash, later embraced the serpentine simile and incorporated the reptilian motif into her 2017 “Reputation” album and subsequent stadium tour. |
“I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans,” Swift wrote. |
“It’s the Stadium Tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with ‘lol.’ It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it,” Swift added. |
In a January appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!” Kardashian said that “we’ve all moved on” from the squabble. |
Elsewhere in the article, the Grammy winner extended the metaphor and urged readers to only retaliate when taken advantage of. |
“Grow a backbone, trust your gut, and know when to strike back. Be like a snake — only bite if someone steps on you,” Swift wrote. |
She also touched on her own sexual-assault trial, stage fright after the concert shooting in Las Vegas and bombing in Manchester, England, her parents’ cancer battles, her political viewpoint and even her love of Command tape. |

ISLAMABAD: The government has admitted that total burden on national exchequer owing to Haj subsidy was Rs4.5 billion which was saved as a result of the government decision to charge full price from pilgrims. |
Talking to The News, Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Noorul Haq Qadri said the government has withdrawn Rs4.5 billion financial assistance which it was paying as subsidy for the pilgrims. Major chunk of Haj’s inflated price is due to rupee devaluation and VAT imposed by the Saudi governmen... |
This year 184,000 Pakistanis will perform Haj rituals out of which 107,000 will go on government quota whereas the remaining will perform this religious ritual on private quota, informed the minister. |
The previous government was paying Rs42,000 subsidy on each pilgrim which put an additional burden of Rs4.5 billion on national exchequer. Keeping the current financial situation of the country, the Federal Cabinet has decided to withdraw this subsidy, he said. |
While briefing about the increase in Haj prices, the federal minister informed that each pilgrim has to pay Rs63,000 extra due to rupee devaluation. Similarly, Rs17,000 have been increased in the airfare and Rs45,000 have been increased as the Saudi government has increased the prices of accommodation, transportation a... |
“Pakistan’s Haj expenditure are still the lowest in the region if you count it in US dollar as India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia are charging more in term of US dollars. My ministry had proposed that the subsidy should not be abolished but the Federal Cabinet decided against it”, commented the minister. |
When asked about the criticism on government for increasing the Haj prices, the federal minister said some political elements are politicising this issue otherwise many people are endorsing the government’s decision. |
The minister was asked whether the government will take up this issue with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman in his upcoming visit to Pakistan, he said the government will highlight this issue but it is unlikely that Saudi government will review the Haj prices. |
“It will be difficult for the Saudi government to review the Haj prices for Pakistani nationals only. The other countries will demand for the same relaxation. Hence, it will be difficult for the Saudi government to review its Haj policy only for one country”, commented Mr Qadri. |
Last week, the federal government increased Haj prices up to 60 percent putting an additional burden of up to Rs156,000 on each pilgrim. This decision sparked a debate whether Islam allows a subsidised Haj or not. The political leaders of opposition parties criticised the government for abolishing subsidy and increasin... |
Former Finance Minister Miftah Ismail raised question on government’s decision of increasing Haj price. According to him, the cost of Haj in 2018 was Rs283,050. The cost of Haj should not be more than Rs387,660 even after adding the rupee devaluation and Rs40,000 subsidy given by the PML-N government. |
“The cost of Haj in 2018 was Rs283,050. In 2019 it’s Rs436975. Even if you add Rs40,000 subsidy given by PML-N and add 20 percent devaluation, the cost should be Rs387,660. This is Rs4,9315 (or 17 percent) more. Hajis will pay Rs9 billion more this year! Corruption, incompetence or just Tabdeeli?” tweeted Miftah Ismail... |
The city first approved the project — also called Bahamian Village — in 2005; plans for the site go as far back as 2002. The project, at 280 S.

“We’re very happy that the mayor and the County Commission heard us and it’s going to be in the best interest of that part of the city,” Leen said. |
The developer plans to have construction bids and a general contractor by late April and hopes to apply for approval from the city’s board of architects by April or May. Bahamian Village also looks to have a tenant identified within a year after all the parties in the lawsuit reach an agreement. |
Commissioners Vince Lago and Patricia Keon were heavily involved in the negotiations along with Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, the county attorney’s office, deputy county manager Russell Benford, county housing staff and members of the Walker Association. |
Irish technology company Tango Telecom picked up a major award at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for Best Customer Care and CRM solution. |
The company won the award for the successful implementation of its iAX Dynamic Pricing Service with Airtel Africa. |
The judges praised Tango Telecom for its dynamic pricing solution, commenting, “In any region of the world this solution would be a clever one that monetises under-utilised network capacity, manages QoS and delights customers. |
“However, what excited the judges was that this solution gives access to mobile services and can deliver life-changing benefits to Africans. This example clearly shows how Africa is fast shrugging off its reputation as ‘just’ a developing, high-growth telecoms market concerned with supplying basic services, and is rapi... |
Tango Telecom’s iAX Dynamic Pricing Service gives operators the ability to price voice services dynamically based on cell load, location, time of day, subscriber type and/or subscriber activity. The service was initially launched as Zain Flexxy with Airtel Uganda. |

“Our Dynamic Pricing Service is the most powerful marketing tool available to operators today – leading to complete reversals in subscriber churn and unprecedented increases in market share for our customers. It also enables operators to make mobile communications more affordable to cost-conscious subscribers in global... |
LONDON: The long-term outlook for Jeddah’s property market is “positive” despite a 6 to 8 percent drop in sale prices last year, according to a report by KPMG. |
The Saudi city is expected to receive an additional supply of around 20,000 residential units in 2019–2020, an addition of 2.5 percent to the current stock of about 810,000, the report found. |
“Despite the current slowdown in the market and subdued performance during the last couple of years, the market drivers seem to be positive for the long term, backed by the favorable demographic, and government’s focus on the real estate sector as part of the diversification process,” said Firas Hassan, head of real es... |
The report pointed to the Saudi government’s aim to increase home ownership from 47 percent to 70 percent by 2030. |
While Jeddah has a relatively low level of home ownership due to “affordability constraints,” the trend is shifting, the report found. |
“The market is witnessing a shift in the trend as a proportion of the middle-income housing units are significantly increasing in the forthcoming supply. Most of these developments are located toward the northern side of the city,” said Hassan. |
The most expensive apartments for sale are located toward the western side, with prices between SR5,000 ($1,333) and SR6,500 per square meter, the report said. |
“While the demand for apartments and small-sized villas/duplexes is expected to remain high, the residential community concept (semi-gated complexes) is getting market acceptance,” it added. |
“Jeddah’s retail market is benefiting from a high population base, elevated disposable income, and changing lifestyle. We expect demand for quality retail space to continue rising,” the report found. |
Jeddah’s hospitality market is likely to witness the delivery of more than 4,000 hotel keys in the coming two or three years, which will increase the current hotel stock by 35 percent, the report added. |
