Project Type: Rainwater Catchment
Regional Program: Western Kenya WaSH Program
Western Kenya WaSH Program
The Water Project’s WaSH program in Western Kenya aims to access, protect, filter, and purify the abundant waters that are available through two seasonal rains, prevalent springs, high water tables, and deep aquifers in the region. Explore water projects in communities, schools, and churches in Western Kenya such as protected springs, rainwater catchment systems, and water wells. This program emphasizes the power of strategic geographical saturation of projects, effective hygiene and sanitation training, and relational networking between NGOs, health workers, local politicians, and educators.

Rainwater is collected off strategic areas of a roof, enters a custom guttering system (which filters out debris) and leads to a storage tank. Tanks can vary in sizes and are determined by population and average rainfall patterns. Water can be stored for months, is easily treated in the tank, and is accessible through taps. These projects are implemented at schools with proper roof lines and gutter systems to make them successful.
Handwashing Stations
Permanent handwashing stations encourage permanent handwashing habits.
Handwashing with soap at critical times reduces diarrheal disease by more than 40%. All of our projects include hygiene and sanitation training, which (among many things) empowers communities to build their own handwashing stations. When we work at schools, we install permanent handwashing stations and work with the school to make sure they are constantly supplied with soap.
Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrines
Toilets designed to limit smell & flies encourage proper, safe and secure bathroom use.
Proper hygiene and sanitation facilities go hand-in-hand with access to clean, reliable water. Two major challenges with sanitation facilities are flies and smell.
A VIP latrine is a pit latrine containing a vent pipe fitted to the pit and a screen at the pipe opening. The vent pipe carries smell outside and screens keep flies out/in.
Monitoring and Resolution
Water isn’t a pump. Water is a service. And, it must be reliable.
The known benefits of water are ONLY true if water can be counted on, over time. We love celebrating when a project is complete and a community has access to clean, safe water. However, the ongoing service of water - making water reliable - is how we know our true impact.
The Water Project continues to monitor our water projects, and we provide continued support to make sure water service continues for communities.
Past water projects and the communities they serve are just as important to us as anything else we might be doing in the future.
To learn more about how you can help with ongoing monitoring, evaluation and resolution, read about our awesome monthly members.
A lot of different activities happen during a normal day at Womulalu Primary School. It starts with morning assembly, when students gather outside to listen to announcements from the headteacher. There are bathroom breaks between classes until lunch, which is served on school grounds.
After afternoon classes, groups of students are required to bring five-liter jerrycans to a spring located a half kilometer away from school. Normally, boys are required to fetch the water, and girls are expected to use that water to clean classrooms and latrines. After this, there is another assembly for children to be dismissed.
There are 484 students enrolled, all taught by 16 teachers. The school also employs two support staff.
There is a 6,000-liter plastic tank outside of the classrooms. Between classrooms, some students always head over to the tank to try and get some water. Unfortunately, so much water is needed to run a school with hundred of students, and 6,000 liters is never enough. A teacher always beats students to the tank and restricts access.
Teacher Jonathan Warua said, “These children suffer a lot because they get it really hard to get water from the spring, given that the water tank at the school cannot serve the whole school fully.”
The tank is primarily reserved for the teacher’s drinking needs and for the kitchen to cook school lunch. If students are thirsty, they are expected to find a group to fetch water with. The closest water source is Womulalu Spring. Though it has a head wall and discharge pipe that makes it easier to fill a bucket with water, the walk back and forth is tiring for these students, and a lot of time is wasted out of the classroom. After drinking this water, students often have to go home because of diarrhea and stomachaches.
There are six latrines for boys and six for the girls. These are too few and the pits are almost too full to use. Students have to wait in long lines for their turn and often miss the beginning of their next class.
There are no hand-washing stations.
Here’s what we’re going to do about it:
Training will be held for two days. The facilitator will use PHAST (participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation), ABCD (asset-based community development), CTC (child to child), lectures, group discussions, and handouts to teach health topics and ways to promote good practices within the school. The CTC method will prepare students to lead other students into healthy habits, as well as kickstart a CTC club for the school.
Hand-Washing Stations
This CTC club will oversee the new facilities, such as hand-washing stations, and make sure they are kept clean and in working condition. The two hand-washing stations will be delivered to the school, and the club will fill them with water on a daily basis and make sure there is always a cleaning agent such as soap or ash.
VIP Latrines
Two triple-door latrines will be constructed with local materials that the school will help gather. Three doors will be set aside for each gender. And with a new source of water on school grounds, students and staff should have enough to keep these new latrines clean.
Rainwater Catchment Tank
A 50,000-liter rainwater catchment tank will help alleviate the water crisis at this school. The school will also help gather the needed materials such as sand, rocks, and water from the spring for mixing cement. Once finished, this tank can begin catching rainfall that will be used by the school’s students and staff. Students will no longer have to leave the school whenever water is needed.
We and the school strongly believe that with this assistance, standards will significantly improve – and these higher standards will translate to better academic performance for these students.
This project is a part of our shared program with Western Water And Sanitation Forum (WEWASAFO). Our team is pleased to provide the reports for this project (formatted and edited for readability) thanks to the hard work of our friends in Kenya.
07/18/2019: Giving Update: Womulalu Primary School
A year ago, your generous donation enabled us to build a rainwater tank for Womulalu Primary School in Kenya. The contributions of incredible monthly donors and others giving directly to The Water Promise allow our local teams to visit project sites throughout the year, strengthening relationships with communities and evaluating the water project over time. These consistent visits allow us to learn vital lessons and hear amazing stories. Read more…
04/26/2018: Womulalu Primary School Project Complete
Womulalu Primary School in Kenya now has a new source of safe, clean water thanks to your generous donation. A new rainwater catchment system was built and there are now six new latrines in use. Two hand-washing stations were installed, and students received training in sanitation and hygiene.
New Knowledge
The headteacher selected ten students from across all classes to represent the others in our hygiene and sanitation training. The PTA chairwoman and the board chairman represented parents, plus three teachers who attended the training on behalf of all school staff.
The participants actively listened, asked questions, and participated in activities. They were most interested in how to maintain the rainwater catchment tank as well as why cancer cases are on the rise in their area.
We taught that hygiene entails personal hygiene, water and food hygiene, and environmental hygiene. Attention needs to be given to each facet of hygiene to enjoy a healthy life.
We covered topics including but not limited to:
– Water pollution and water treatment
– Health starts with a clean self and clean environment
– Group dynamics, leadership, and governance
– Forming an effective CTC (child to child) club
– Hand-washing
Demonstrations were used for hand-washing, tooth-brushing, solar disinfection, and many other topics. We facilitated group discussions and presentations, and students took part in role-plays. The students also received handouts to help them teach hygiene and sanitation to their peers.
Teaching the students how to brush their teeth properly.
The CTC club includes both students and teachers who want to take responsibility for spreading the message of good health and hygiene among their peers. They are responsible for managing hand-washing stations, cleaning latrines, and keeping the school environment tidy. A water user committee was formed by parents and school administration, which is responsible for overseeing and maintaining the new facilities.
Caroline Aseyo is a parent of students at Womulalu. She didn’t know what to expect when she was invited to training, but now she’s glad she was there.
“I am so impressed at what WEWASAFO is doing in this community. It is beyond just providing clean water and safe sanitation facilities,” she said.
“This I didn’t know. For sure, this project has become the pride and joy of not only Womulalu Primary School but the entire village. The health and hygiene tips we have acquired today will indeed spur us into the new standards of living.”
This project funded the installation of six new ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines. All of these latrines are easy to use and clean. And with a rainwater catchment tank, there should be enough water to keep them clean all the time.
The two hand-washing stations were delivered to school and handed over to the CTC club. These were placed outside of the boys’ and girls’ latrines to encourage hand-washing after latrine use. CTC club members teach other students how to properly wash their hands at these stations, and make sure there is always soap or ash available. Now the school has the stations they need and the water to fill them.
Construction for this 50,000-liter rainwater catchment tank was successful!
Parents, staff, and students helped our artisans gather everything needed for construction. All the while, women cooked meals for the artisans, and the school provided accommodations for the artisans during their work. Local men and women helped our artisans with their manual labor, too.
Students helping carry bricks to the construction site.
The construction process officially began with our staff and school administration looking around the school compound to try and determine the best location for a new rainwater catchment tank. This needed to be the best site with good, clean roofing to catch the rainwater.
Rainwater tank construction began with clearance of the site: excavating the soil within the required measurements to make level ground for the tank foundation. The foundation was cast by laying hardcore on a level ground and then reinforcing it using steel, concrete and waterproof cement.
Both the drawing pipe as well as the washout pipe were affixed, as the foundation was lain. The wall was built with ferro-cement techniques through six layers. The inner wall was plastered while rough casting was done on the outer part. The catchment area was dug, plastered, and a staircase installed.
The dome construction followed as the foundation was lain. The manhole cover was fitted, inlet pipes were connected to the roof gutters, inlet screens, ventilation pipes (breathers) and overflow pipes were all done to standard.
The tank was given three to four weeks to undergo complete curing before it was cleaned and taken over by Womulalu Primary School.
“Our spirits have been lifted,” Board Chairman Juma Alex said.
“The perennial, habitual and demeaning act of carrying water from home and springs by our children is now pushed to the periphery. With this huge tank in our compound, we know for a fact that much of the academic time that was one lost will be redeemed. There will be less absenteeism because there will be less waterborne disease.”
He and his students gathered around to celebrate as we handed the facilities over for them to use. Smiles were all around as we witnessed clean water coming from the tap!

A year ago, you funded a rainwater tank at Womulalu Primary School in Kenya – creating a life-changing moment for Joan Mwenesi. Thank you!
Keeping The Water Promise
There's an incredible community of monthly donors who have come alongside you in supporting clean water in Womulalu Primary School.
This giving community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Womulalu Primary School maintain access to safe, reliable water. Together, they keep The Water Promise.
We’re confident you'll love joining this world-changing group committed to sustainability!
There is an increased sense of order and calmness with how the school runs through its daily activities. Lessons are attended by teachers and students without disruptions! Before the rainwater tank was built, lesson interruptions were common and people could easily spot schoolchildren walking along the road in search of water. But with the tank, water is collected during class breaks when children are allowed to relax and wait for their next lessons.
Besides, the entire school compound looks neat and clean. This project has affected both the pupils and their environment because they have embraced the health messages taught during the sanitation and hygiene training, too.
“The shame on the faces of our pupils has been turned into self-esteem instead. And now we are peaceful and very confident that the joint effort put in by Womulalu School Community to fight ignorance, diseases, and poverty will ultimately bear fruits,” shared Eunice Kanaga, the teacher in charge of sanitation and the CTC student health club we established last year.
“The school has won increased support from parents who are happy that classes are no longer interrupted and learning takes place very well!”

We also got to speak with 13-year-old Joan when she got a break from class.
“For me and my friends, it is a big win on our part that we are no longer required to carry water from home or to fetch water from outside the school compound. This has helped us save quality academic time,” Joan said.
“Drinking clean water is not the only privilege for us, but the same water has enabled us to keep our classroom environment a clean and good place to be.”

Navigating through intense dry spells, performing preventative maintenance, conducting quality repairs when needed and continuing to assist community leaders to manage water points are all normal parts of keeping projects sustainable. The Water Promise community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Womulalu Primary School maintain access to safe, reliable water.
We’d love for you to join this world-changing group committed to sustainability.
The most impactful way to continue your support of Womulalu Primary School – and hundreds of other places just like this – is by joining our community of monthly givers.
Your monthly giving will help provide clean water, every month... keeping The Water Promise!

Lenovo unveils new Legion gaming laptops with new Ryzen 5000, RTX 30 mobile, and more
On the heels of Nvidia's announcement of its GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs, it's time for new gaming PCs to be announced. Lenovo is unveiling all-new Legion laptops today, including the Legion 7, Legion Slim 7, Legion 5 Pro, and Legion 5.
The Legion 7 comes with a taller 16-inch 16:10 screen, something that we're seeing across Lenovo's lineup, and the screen supports 100% sRGB color gamut. You can have it configured with 2560×1600 resolution, and you'll still get 165Hz refresh rate and 500-nit brightness. And of course, you'll get the best frame rates with the new GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs that support Ray Tracing 2.0.
It comes with AMD's Ryzen 5000 processors, which were also just announced, an 80WHr battery, optional Killer AX1650 Wi-Fi, and Coldfront 3.0 cooling. The Legion 7 is coming in June, starting at $1,669.99.

Alonso agrees new partnership deal
Date: 21st October 2017 at 10:20am
Written by: Red5
Fernando Alonso has not signed a new contract with McLaren, more a new partnership agreement.
Well that’s the feeling of the former two-time former Formula One World Champion.
The Spaniard told Sky Sports: ‘We don’t talk about contract clauses but it’s more of a long-term partnership, I would be extremely happy to finish my career in McLaren.
‘I don’t think it’s going to be one year.’
Alonso signed his new ‘long-term partnership’ agreement with McLaren after they opted to severe ties with Japanese engine manufacturer Honda and take Renault power from 2018.
This should, in theory, see McLaren take a huge leap forward for next year and could be ready to immediately challenge Red Bull Racing for podiums and potential race victories against Mercedes and Ferrari.
But Alonso has also been kept happy by an agreement to allow him to explore other opportunities within motorsport.
Earlier this year Alonso competed in the Indianapolis 500 and made comments about his desire to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hour Race.
There is already talk in the paddock that Alonso could prepare for that possibility in the future by racing at Daytona.
McLaren chief Zak Brown said: ‘There’s not a ‘Le Mans clause’ per se, There is an understanding that if Fernando would like to do some additional racing that doesn’t compromise our Formula 1 efforts then we’ll be open to that conversation and flexible.
‘As you saw with Indianapolis earlier this year, we’re an organisation that likes to race and Fernando Alonso is the biggest racer in this pit lane.’

For Me By Dee is a brand based in Melbourne, Australia, offering stationery, gift cards, prints & home wares, including tea towels and pillowcases – all featuring the heart-warming, hand-painted animal portraits of watercolour artist Daniella Leo, aka Dee. For Me By Dee celebrates your unique personality and brings joy through art that tells a story.
From her light-filled home studio, Dee paints unique animal characters that we can all connect with. From Kylie the Kangaroo to Rocco the Raccoon, the For Me By Dee range contains a zoo-load of animals – and among them, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find one (or more) that makes you smile. They might remind you of someone you know – or even remind you of yourself.
All Dee’s creations are designed to bring warmth, joy and a touch of character to your home. Because of their timeless nature, they become part of the world you inhabit. With a change of placement, the product will take on a whole new life – from nursery to lounge room, it can live anywhere.
The more you look at Dee’s furry and feathered friends, the more you see in their personalities, and the more they seem real. In fact, you may very well find yourself having little chats with Pedro, Duke or Pat… just like Dee.
The For Me By Dee brand represents Dee’s decision to pursue her creative passion, and everything she makes is the result of true inspiration, thoughtful work and authenticity – which probably explains why For Me By Dee has over 100 boutique stockists across Australia, increasing interest from around the world, and a super-dedicated following.
Enjoy meeting and getting to know our growing range of animal friends, and discovering which one is just like you.
Meet Dee
Melbourne artist Daniella Leo, aka Dee, is every bit as warm as the creatures she paints. It’s the non-judgmental, happiness-inducing nature of animals that inspires her to pick up a brush and create a new character. She’s a self-taught watercolour artist, who’s developed her own highly refined style of painting, which is why her work is so easily identifiable. Like the animals she paints, her style has its own character.
It all started with Toby the Giraffe, Dee’s first animal portrait. Seeing the glowing smiles that Toby brought to faces imbued her with a profound sense of joy and newfound purpose. This gave her the inspiration to continue creating – and she has to this day. With her gorgeous dog Riggs by her side, Dee starts with the eyes – the key to the soul – and paints layer upon layer until the animal character is complete and takes on a life of its own.
The For Me By Dee brand is the embodiment of Dee’s creative passion. It’s also the result of her decision to pursue what makes her heart sing, after discovering that working as a graphic designer in the corporate jungle wasn’t quite right for her. Now, with her own jungle of friendly animals, Dee feels connected to what she creates.
Dee loves to travel, often taking her animal characters along for the journey. Hearty conversation and meaningful connections are her simple pleasures. Her dream? Coming across her animal characters around the world, and seeing them continue to spread their magic, uniting people and capturing smiles and imaginations wherever they go.

Updated April 04, 2019 by Jeff Newburgh
The 10 Best Mulching Lawn Mowers
This wiki has been updated 14 times since it was first published in March of 2019. These mulching lawn mowers will not only cut the grass, but will turn it into a natural fertilizer at the same time. In addition to side discharge and bagging options, they are available in designs that accommodate different sizes of yard. They can help you enhance your soil and improve the health of your other plants. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki. Skip to the best mulching lawn mower on Amazon.
10. Jonsered L2821
Setting the Jonsered L2821 (appx. $349) apart from much of the competition is the dependable 160cc Honda engine and dual-trigger control system that supports seamless operation with either hand. Furthermore, an integrated water hose connection allows for easy cleanup of the main deck.
All-terrain rear wheels
9 cutting positions
Takes several cord pulls to start
9. Husqvarna 7021P
Outputting nearly 7 pounds of gross torque per foot, and leveraging both 12-inch rear wheels and double ball bearings, the Husqvarna 7021P (around $380) provides the necessary balance, power, and stability to trim grass around trees, bushes, and over extremely uneven ground.
Ergonomically-designed push handle
Holds nearly 1 quart of fuel
Choke lever is rather flimsy
8. Sun Joe MJ403E
Simplify any garden cleanup tasks in small areas using the Sun Joe MJ403E (about $138). A 13-amp motor powers a 17-inch wide trimming path, while the detachable grass bag and compost plug facilitate quick conversion between its mowing and mulching functions.
Grass indicator window
Instant push-button startup
Confusing assembly instructions
7. Worx Intellicut
Get your landscaping off to a productive start with the Worx Intellicut (appx. $226). The dual interchangeable power modules are compatible with a variety of gardening tools from the same company and provide up to 40 volts of sustained energy.
Lightweight and compact design
Great option for small yards
Clippings bag doesn't hold much
6. Earthwise Electric
Eliminate harmful gasoline, oil, and fumes outdoors with the environmentally-friendly Earthwise Electric (about $170). It sports a convenient V-shaped folding handle with a cushioned grip, which serves to minimize operator fatigue during those long mowing jobs.
Integrated cord retention hook
Safety blade control
Plastic parts emit a strong odor
5. DeWalt DCMW220P2
The high-output motor, single-lever height adjustment, and twin 20-volt batteries in the DeWalt DCMW220P2 (about $351) give it the required torque to chop through extremely thick grass effortlessly. It is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
Handles fold for upright storage
Very durable construction
Takes a while to charge
4. Snapper Ninja
The commercial-grade Snapper Ninja (about $659) utilizes a rear-wheel-drive system to provide a smooth, walk-behind operation and superior traction on particularly hilly terrain. Its blade has 6 cutting surfaces capable of producing finely-ground mulch for use as a natural fertilizer.
Reliable briggs and stratton engine
High-performance spin-on oil filter
It's quite expensive
3. GreenWorks Pro
The combination of a high-torque brushless motor, a 21-inch steel cutting deck, 7-inch front wheels, and extra-large rear tires on the GreenWorks Pro (about $460) all work together to provide a great performance and maneuverability in backyards of almost any shape or size.
Discharges from the side
Relatively quiet
Comes with 2 batteries
2. Powerworks 60V
Using an efficient lithium-ion battery, the Powerworks 60V (appx. $452) can run continuously for up to 70 minutes, making it capable of covering about half an acre. The folding handles allow for convenient vertical storage in sheds and garages.
Single-lever height adjustment
Requires very little maintenance
1. Snapper XD
Equipped with a self-propelled, variable-speed transmission, the Snapper XD (appx. $599) offers an easy, push-button startup and innovative load sensing technology designed to automatically adjust its power output to meet the demands of its cutting blades.
Energy-efficient brushless motor
21-inch steel deck
Bag holds over 2 cubic feet of grass
Power, efficiency, adjustability, and an ability to withstand operation on a wide variety of terrains are all valuable factors that should be taken into account when choosing the best mulching lawn mower for one's needs. I also thought it was important for this list to contain a mix of gas and electric-powered models, given that a lawn's circumstances may command varying levels of torque requiring fuel as opposed to a lithium-ion battery and vice versa. Not only is power important, but so is ease of use when it comes to maintaining outdoor areas that are small and characterized by hard-to-reach places that suffer from potentially thick overgrowth. I wanted to make sure the options chosen would be able to meet most (if not all of these qualities). The Snapper XD, for example, uses smart load sensing technology to adjust its power output accordingly and depending on the amount of effort required by its blades to get the job done. This machine would definitely come in handy in backyards with areas of different heights and thicknesses (i.e. bushes, trees, and grasses of varying heights). I also added the Powerworks 60V due to its convenient folding handle for vertical storage and easy height adjustments. A total of 6 cutting surfaces on the Snapper Ninja's blade ensure finely-ground mulch, while the Briggs and Stratton engine allows it to chop effortlessly through tall and heavy grass. Also added the Sun Joe MJ403E due to its 13-amp motor, wide cutting path, and quick-conversion capabilities between traditional mowing and mulching applications. Finally, I included the Jonsered L2821 for its dual-trigger control system, 9 cutting height positions, and the integrated water hose connector for keeping the deck clean.

“The thing for me about short films is that it’s such an accessible, egalitarian form of filmmaking, and one that I think often allows for the most originality and expression. It’s not about the size of your budget or the quality of your equipment but rather your creativity, and your ability to craft a story and draw your audience in. In surfing we have that great oral tradition of storytelling – of the sessions, the legends, the places, the characters, the boards, the journeys, the moments in time. There is such deep vein to mine, and so many ways to tell a tale.
It’s hard to pick my five favourite anything… it kind of depends on the day so I’ve focussed in on those independent shorts that really resonate, raise the bar and move the conversation onwards. I’ve focussed on narrative rather than performance surfing as I feel the bigger budgets and brand-backed films often have the edge here”.
1. George Greenough – Echoes
“This is a singular piece of cinematography. POV may be an oft-used mechanism now but in the 1970s when George Greenough strapped that 13kg camera rig to his back – a jerry-rigged 16mm film camera in a water housing – and paddled out on his spoon he took us inside the barrel for one of the very first times, offering us a shared surfing experience.
Echoes is more than a technical success and a celebration of the DIY surf mentality though. It’s 22 mesmerising minutes of light and water and sound… and it’s that perfect intersection of surf, art and music, and of course collaboration with the mighty Pink Floyd”.
2. Mickey Smith – Dark Side Of The Lens
“When this film came out it won every award going and rightly so. It shifted the narrative, reframed what surf movies could look like. Ten years on it still feels groundbreaking, and still has the power to move you, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Everyone should see this film.”
3. Chris McClean & Mark Waters – Uncommon Ideals
“Then Chris McClean and Mark Waters came along with Uncommon Ideals and did it all over again. Combining visually arresting cinematography (very little of which was any actual surf footage), original poetry from Dan Crockett, music from UNKLE (that they managed to use because they asked and the band believed in their project) and produced using Chris’s wife’s student loan, Uncommon Ideals won the very first edition of London Surf / Film Festival Shorties homegrown short film strand. It set the bar, and it set it high.
The film went viral, won countless awards at numerous festivals and set both filmmakers off on their own very successful journeys. But more importantly it is a real testament to how creativity and ambition, rather than cashflow can and should shape a film. It’s also one of the most – ahem – ‘emulated’ films of recent times”.
4. Crayfish – The Shaper
“The Shaper is so funny and so wry because it threads such a fine line. Rob Lockyear and Jeremy Joyce are award-winning filmmakers and talented comedy writers because they have the canny ability to capture the zeitgeist and poke fun at it without being mean or demeaning. Rather, they take you along for the ride so we’re laughing ‘with’, not ‘at’. It was a toss up for me between this and their first film Wreckers (which shows just how well you can tell a tale in 2 minutes 30). They’ve gone on to make a number of award winning surf films including Freezing and The Outrider, which was Surfer Poll nominated”.
5. Peter Baker – Maurice Cole: The First Wave
“With filmmaking you ask yourself, what am I trying to say? How am I adding to the conversation? And with a great documentary you want to give your audience a better sense of the character and real story that drives them. This is that great film. It tackles so many issues – race, identity, mental health, community in such a short space of time, and does it beautifully. It makes you feel, it makes you think, plus there is some incredible surfing in there to back it all up”.

Dr Philip Lee named Parramatta citizen of the year
Congratulations to a champion of palliative care and volunteering in Western Sydney!
Read the original story by Kylie Stevens in The Sun.
Oatlands resident Dr Philip Lee was named citizen of the year for his work in palliative care. Born and raised in the area, Dr Lee worked as a GP in the local area for 23 years.
He is now the Western Sydney Local Health District palliative care director, where he oversaw the development of a palliative care nursing education fund at Westmead to help further education and specialist training.
He was initially nominated for the senior citizen of the year but didn’t win so he was shocked to win the major award.
“It’s overwhelming,” Dr Lee told the Sun.
“It’s recognition for the whole team of the service we do. I knew about about award nomination but I didn’t even consider the big award.”
His work is based at Westmead, St Joseph’s Auburn and Mt Druitt Hospitals.
“When I was working as a GP, I was looking after a patient who was dying and spent time with them trying to make them comfortable.
“I didn’t think I did a good job. When I got a thank you letter from the patient’s family afterwards, it made me realise I could do a lot more to make a difference.”
Dr Lee described his role as sad but also rewarding.
“The hardest cases involve young people, where young mums leave children behind,” he said.
“But I have an incredible family. I also cycle, which I use as therapy.”
Dr Lee hopes to continue to lobby for more funding and to dispel misconceptions the public often have about palliative care.

"The best advice I'd give to people who are just starting out on their healing journey is to be gentle and pace yourself, and to consider journaling your healing process."
-Dawn McCoy
Dawn McCoy's 2013 “aha” moment led her to the realization that optimal health and abuse recovery were imperative for her to be a good parent to her son. Now she is using her decades of leadership experience and skills to help raise awareness and support others on two fronts: narcissistic abuse and special needs children.
In addition to being a narcissistic abuse survivor, Dawn is also a single mother of a 9-year old boy who has autism and other complex conditions.
Dawn credits an event coordinator who asked her, “why did you give away your power?” as the most helpful advice of her recovery journey.
Despite personal tribulations, Dawn leverages three decades serving as a leader to raise awareness about toxic patterns of abuse. In her community, she connected with domestic violence organizations and helped spread the word about available programs and resources.
While she educated herself on narcissism and shared resources with others, she also started an online support group for mothers of children with rare diseases. In turn, her articles were published in The Mighty and other publications about caregiving for a special needs child.
Along her healing journey, she participated in Celebrate Recovery meetings at her church and engaged in dialogue about services for people with disabilities coping within the trauma-informed care movement.
And, most recently, Dawn has lent her time and talents to create the event program content for the 2019 and 2020 World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day Telesummit. She said, “attending the summit in prior years made her want to be more proactively involved beyond sharing examples of her progress with friends, family, and colleagues.”
While continuously sharing narcissistic abuse awareness books, websites, and social media pages, her goals are simple: Share resources about how to overcome and demystify the perils of psychopathy.
Through project-based initiatives, community involvement, and ongoing social media engagement, Dawn aims to lend her talent to educate others about toxic patterns of narcissistic abuse.
In addition to her work raising awareness about narcissistic abuse, Dawn launched Flourish Leadership Group, LLC after a 2009 layoff. Her mission is to nurture current and aspiring women in their roles as dynamic leaders. Since launching Flourish Leadership Group, Dawn has secured speaking opportunities nationwide and rolled out executive management training and consulting services within the public and private sectors. In more recent years, she has added strategic planning and project oversight, given her engagement with various community initiates.http://www.flourishleadership.com

Navy identifies Fort Smith sailor who died of COVID-19
Charles Robert Thacker Jr. was assigned to USS Theodore Roosevelt
by: Megan Wilson
PEARL HARBOR (NNS) — Aviation Ordnanceman Chief Petty Officer Charles Robert Thacker Jr., 41, from Fort Smith, assigned to USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), died from COVID-19 April 13.
He died at U.S. Naval Hospital Guam.
Thacker tested positive for COVID-19 March 30 and was removed from the ship and placed in isolation on Naval Base Guam.
On April 9, Thacker was found unresponsive during a daily medical check and transferred to Naval Base Guam via ambulance where he was placed in the Intensive Care Unit.
PEARL HARBOR (April 16, 2020) Official photo released of Aviation Ordnanceman Chief Petty Officer Charles Robert Thacker Jr., 41, of Fort Smith, Ark. assigned to USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), who died from COVID-19 April 13 at U.S. Naval Hospital Guam. (U.S. Navy Photo/Released)
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Our number one priority continues to be the health and well-being of all members of the Theodore Roosevelt Strike Group and we remain steadfast in our resolve against the spread of this virus.
Capt. Carlos Sardiello, Theodore Roosevelt’s commanding officer
Thacker’s spouse is an active duty member stationed in San Diego.
She was flown via Navy Air Logistics Office (NALO) flight to Guam, arriving April 11. At the time of his passing, Thacker’s spouse was by his side.
Crew members who tested positive for COVID-19 remain in isolation at controlled locations on Naval Base Guam, and they receive daily medical supportive care.
All medical care is being provided by medical personnel from USS Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, and elements of the 3rd Medical Battalion.
To support Sailors, USS Theodore Roosevelt has a civilian resiliency counselor, a Chaplain team and medical psychologist assisting as needed.
The crew is also being supported by Joint Region Marianas and Naval Base Guam Chaplains.
USS Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Guam on March 27 for a scheduled port visit for resupply and crew rest.
I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Chief Petty Officer Charles Thacker, Jr. His service to the country has earned my utmost gratitude, and my deepest condolences go to his family, friends, and crewmates.
Sen. Cotton
Today, Fort Smith and the State of Arkansas mourn the passing of a brave patriot and sailor. Chief Petty Officer Charles Robert Thacker, Jr. defended our nation and upheld his duty to serve and protect freedom. This is a great loss against an unprecedented enemy, and we must continue to amplify resources on all levels to defeat this virus and safeguard personnel. My deepest condolences go out to the Thacker family, his loved ones, and fellow service members. Though no words can heal the pain, our community sends prayers of comfort and strength during this time.
Sen. Womack
Chief Petty Officer Charles Thacker, Jr. honorably served our country in uniform. His dedication to our nation was perhaps only surpassed by the tremendous love he had for his dear family. Petty Officer Thacker’s appreciation for the special things in life – particularly his loved ones and passions – reminds us how precious time really is and how this virus poses a threat to all of us, even the warriors dedicated to defending America. My thoughts and prayers are with the Thacker family and all who counted Petty Officer Thacker as a friend or loved one. We honor his life and service in uniform, and pledge to keep this proud son of Arkansas’s legacy alive in the years to come.
Sen. Boozman

17 new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Alaska, with largest increase in Anchorage area
Author: Zaz Hollander
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Alaska -- and the number of people requiring hospital care -- continues to climb as officials reported another 17 new cases Wednesday.
The tally brings the statewide number of cases of the infectious disease caused by the new coronavirus to 59.
Three patients are hospitalized in critical condition, Dr. Anne Zink, the state’s chief medical officer, said in a media briefing Wednesday evening. Two involved newly diagnosed individuals. Another is a patient diagnosed Tuesday in Juneau.
The largest increase was in the Anchorage municipality, including Chugiak and Eagle River, with 11 new cases. The state reported one new case in Homer, two in the Fairbanks area including North Pole, and three in Ketchikan.
Eight of the newly diagnosed patients are men and nine are women, Zink said. Three are between 18 and 29, nine between 30 and 59, and five over 60.
Asked why health officials aren’t specifically identifying travel and other points of contact for the infected people, Zink said that’s a complicated, time-consuming process that might give people a false sense of security if, say, they weren’t grocery shopping the same day someone with a positive test was.
People need to stay home as much as possible either way, she said.
The virus is past the point of containment here, officials say.
“We have community transmission in the state of Alaska right now,” Zink said. “We need to all be doing these things regardless.”
Among the people who tested positive Wednesday was an airman assigned to the 354th Fighter Wing at Eielson Air Force Base outside Fairbanks, the wing’s public affairs department said. The airman “had recent travel history” in the Lower 48 but “contact with others was minimal due to installation policy” that meant he was placed in quarantine when he returned to the local area. He is receiving care from medical professionals on base and will remain isolated in a personal residence, wing officials said.
Another patient tested positive at the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center in Fairbanks on Friday and the case was confirmed Wednesday, the Tanana Chiefs Conference, which operates the center, said in a statement. The person is quarantining in their Fairbanks home.
“We have been expecting that a TCC patient would test positive based upon the fast growing numbers of positive cases across the state, as well as seeing an increase of patients who are seeking care for fever and respiratory symptoms and who are receiving testing,” said Jacoline Bergstrom, executive director of Health Services.
One existing COVID-19 patient was hospitalized in the critical care unit in Juneau, state officials said. One Alaskan has died of the disease in Washington state last week, after contracting the virus there.
We're making coronavirus coverage available without a subscription as a public service. But we depend on reader support to do this work. Please consider joining others in supporting local journalism in Alaska for just $3.23 a week.
There are now 28 confirmed cases in the Anchorage municipality, two in Palmer, five on the Kenai Peninsula including Homer, 11 in the Fairbanks area and 13 in Southeast Alaska.
Of the state’s 59 confirmed cases, 24 are considered travel-related via exposure outside the state, six are not travel-related, 16 are considered spread by “close contact” with an infected person, and 15 are still under investigation, according to state health officials.
By late Wednesday, more than 68,000 confirmed cases had been reported nationwide, with more than 1,000 deaths.
On Wednesday, four state lawmakers representing remote villages joined with many Alaska doctors in asking the governor to declare a statewide “shelter-in-place” order in hopes of slowing the virus spread. The legislators, including Reps. Tiffany Zulkosky, Neal Foster, John Lincoln and Bryce Edgmon, emphasized the lack of health care facilities in rural Alaska.
The legislators wrote that if Dunleavy refuses to order a shelter-in-place mandate, the state should support local villages, cities and tribes in enforcing their own local orders.
The state has already ordered the suspension of dine-in service at restaurants, breweries and bars and the closure of entertainment facilities such as theaters and gyms. That health mandate is set to expire at 5 p.m. April 1.
When asked Wednesday whether the state would consider extending those restrictions, given the rise in cases statewide, Dunleavy said: “It’s very likely we’ll extend that.”
Daily News reporter Tess Williams contributed.

Andrew Skeates
Sarah* decided to share her experience in a bid to encourage as many people as possible to support our Fair Deal campaign for adoptive families in Scotland.
We hope that Sarah’s moving story will encourage you to sign our petition, if you haven’t already, and promote it to family, friends and colleagues.
The campaign group 38 Degrees has also issued a condensed version of Sarah’s story to tens of thousands of its members.
Sarah said: "We were terrified that our 15-year-old boy, Jamie*, was going to end up dead or in prison, so we made the heart-breaking decision to return him to care.
We feel that Jamie, who we’d adopted as a baby, would still be at home had he received the therapeutic support we were all crying out for. We always knew he needed this because of his traumatic background and low self-esteem.
'Shattered by break-up'
We spent 10 years fighting for help, but effective post-adoption support is virtually non-existent where we live. It’s galling that this support would’ve been available had we lived in England – just 25 miles from our home in the Borders.
We found a psychotherapist who offers counselling to young people in England, paid for through the Adoption Support Fund. But we were ineligible as we lived in Scotland. She also has a private practice in Edinburgh but we were unable to afford the fees of up to £75-an-hour.
Jamie now lives permanently in a residential unit, costing thousands of pounds. He is again on a waiting list for therapeutic support.
He is deemed to be extremely vulnerable so will remain in care until at least 18.
We’re still in regular contact with Jamie but only see him at weekends as he’s a two-hour drive away.
We’re all shattered by the break-up of our family.
Future uncertain
Our adopted daughter has had to experience police officers coming into our home because Jamie kept going missing. He was also involved in drugs and theft and had developed an unhealthy fascination with knives.
The future feels really uncertain. I worry for my daughter who’s 12. I pray nothing goes wrong as there’s no support for her.
What happened to us must not be allowed to happen to any other family.
We’re now pleading with the Government to take this issue seriously and to give every adoptive family in Scotland the right to support when they need it."
* All of the names have been changed and the image is posed by a model.
To support our campaign for a fair deal for adoptive families in Scotland please sign our petition.

GOP’s Loeffler concedes to Warnock in Georgia runoff

ATLANTA (AP) — Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler on Thursday conceded to Democrat Raphael Warnock in one of two Georgia Senate runoffs that will give control of the U.S. Senate to Democrats.
Loeffler, who was appointed to the position a year ago to replace outgoing Sen. Johnny Isakson, posted a video to social media Thursday evening saying that she had called Warnock to congratulate him.
With his victory in Tuesday’s election, Warnock becomes the first African American from Georgia elected to the Senate.
“Unfortunately we came up slightly short in the runoff election,” Loeffler says in the video. “Earlier today I called Rev. Warnock to congratulate him and to wish him well in serving this great state.”
A spokesman for Warnock’s campaign confirmed that Loeffler had conceded but declined to comment further.
Democrat Jon Ossoff beat Republican David Perdue in Georgia’s other Senate runoff. Perdue has yet to concede. In a statement released early Wednesday, his campaign vowed to “mobilize every available resource and exhaust every legal recourse.”
The two Democrats’ wins, along with President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia in November, mark a huge shift in Georgia politics, which have been dominated by Republicans in recent years. Biden is the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since 1992.
Warnock is pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached.
Loeffler, a wealthy businesswoman who has closely allied herself with President Donald Trump, relentlessly tried to paint Warnock as a “radical liberal” during the campaign — rarely mentioning his name without that epithet attached. But in the end, Warnock was able to defeat Loeffler with a diverse coalition that included Black voters, young people and suburbanites uncomfortable with the GOP’s direction under Trump.
Tuesday’s runoff election broke turnout records for a Georgia runoff, with more than 4.4 million ballots cast.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Capitol complex temporarily locked down Monday during a rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration after a fire in a homeless encampment roughly a mile away sent a plume of smoke into the air and caused security concerns in an already jittery city.

I have now been compensated - Graphics designer who called out Ramsey Nouah says
The graphic designer, Louisa Ejenavbo, who called out Ramsey Nouah for using her designs in his "Living in Bondage" movie without paying for it, has served a new update after her the post went viral on social media.
In her new tweets, @louisajlo noted that she never had direct contact to Ramsey Noah or the movie crew, which was why she used social media to address the issue. She further disclosed that she has been contacted and compensated accordingly.
The graphic designer tweeted “UPDATE Twitter, I made that thread not to indict anybody but to sensitize about the issue and I am grateful that everyone was supportive to me. I didn't have direct contact to Ramsey or the crew that is why I used social media. You can see I even tagged the wrong handle. My noise together with your Retweets got them to know and they have contacted me. They didn't know but now they do and have acted accordingly. I have been compensated. I am still proud to have worked on the movie and hope for future possibilities. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me with this. Thank you @HenshawKate I really don't know everyone's handles but I am utterly grateful”

Richard Caborn warns boxing may be axed from Olympics if AIBA does not reform
Nov 11th 2020 10:14AM
Former sports minister Richard Caborn has warned that boxing could be axed from the Olympic programme if its disgraced world governing body AIBA wastes its final shot at meaningful reform.
Seven candidates have declared in the race for its vacant presidency, one of whom, Azerbaijan’s Suleyman Mikayilov, is being advised by Caborn, also an ex-chair of England Boxing, through his company, Global Sports Investigations.
AIBA was suspended by the International Olympic Committee last year over widespread governance and financial concerns, and an IOC-led Task Force was created to oversee the sport through the delayed Tokyo Olympics.

Caborn told the PA news agency: “The IOC do not want to be in a position to be having to run boxing in Paris (in 2024) because it’s not their job to do that, so I think AIBA are drinking in a last chance saloon.
“If they don’t get it back, where will the IOC go? Boxing could be out of the Paris Olympics, there’s no doubt about that. There are only three years between Tokyo and Paris, so we have to got have a reformed AIBA now.”
Five of the seven candidates – Mikayilov, Umar Kremlev, Anas Al Otaiba, Bienvenido Solano and the current interim president, Mohamed Moustahsane – are past or present members of AIBA’s executive board.

Boris Van der Vorst, the president of the Dutch Boxing Federation, and Ramie Al-Masri, chairman of the Referees’ Commission of the German Boxing Association, make up the group from whom a new president will be appointed at an AIBA extraordinary congress next month.
Mikayilov, a six-time national boxing champion of the Soviet Union, is set to run on a ticket of handing more power to the boxers themselves, as well as a major equality drive around women’s sport.
Former sports minister Richard Caborn says time is running out for AIBA (Lauren Hurley/PA)
Caborn added: “I had long discussions with Suleyman about what he wants to achieve and it became patently obvious to me that he sees getting back into the Olympic family as the essential issue.
“The prize is to take boxing back in as a clean sport, one that commends itself to commercial sponsorship, and one with which people want to associate.
“What is crucial to this, in my view, is that you can’t continue to mark your own work – you have got to have an ethics committee that has a big chunk of independence and secondly, a system by which all major decisions of governance are subject to scrutiny.”
England Boxing and USA Boxing published an open letter to AIBA last week, expressing fears that proposed reforms to its statutes “have fallen short of our high expectation”, and “will be insufficient to overturn the suspension.”

Man arrested in fatal shooting of Charlotte protester, police chief says
Sep 23rd 2016 11:59AM
Charlotte police on Friday announced the arrest of a suspect in the killing of a demonstrator fatally shot during protesters this week over a police-involved shooting.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified the suspect as Rayquan Borum and charged him in the shooting death of Justin Carr, 26, who was on life support and died on Thursday.
SEE ALSO: A protester in Charlotte gave out free hugs to police in riot gear — and they were incredibly grateful
Police said Carr was wounded in a protester-on-protester incident Wednesday night, during demonstrations downtown that led to over 40 arrests. Investigators are trying to determine who was behind the shooting amid claims that an officer was involved.
Tensions have flared in Charlotte since Tuesday's shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott, which was caught on police dashboard and bodycam videos.
Lawyers for the Scott family said they watched the footage Thursday, and the video shows him calmly walking back after he was approached by police outside a condominium complex near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

BACK TO SLIDE
The officer who fired the fatal shot was in plainclothes as part of a special unit and was not wearing a bodycam. But Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said three other officers at the scene were wearing bodycams.
He said he's reviewed one bodycam and one dashboard video so far.
Family attorney Justin Bamberg said in a statement that it is difficult to discern what Scott, a 40-year-old father for seven, was holding in his hands. Earlier, the family contended he was holding a book, but a weapon.
Putney has said a gun was recovered at the scene, but no book.
A photo taken by witness obtained by NBC affiliate WCNC appears to show a gun lying near Scott on the ground.
The officer who fired the fatal shot, Brentley Vinson, was placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard procedure. The State Bureau of Investigation has begun its independent review into the shooting.

Twitter suspends thousands of fake accounts from UAE
Over 4,000 accounts suspended as they were involved in ‘multi-faceted information operation’ primarily targeting Qatar.
Twitter said the fake accounts tweeted mostly against Qatar and Yemen, and amplified Saudi propaganda [Al Jazeera]
Twitter has suspended a large network of 4,258 accounts which it said were operated exclusively from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), employing fake names and tweeting mostly about Qatar and Yemen.
It also removed a network of 267 accounts in the UAE and Egypt which Twitter said were engaged in a “multi-faceted information operation” targeting Qatar and Iran while amplifying messages supportive of the Saudi government.
The company said those accounts were managed by a private company called DotDev, which identifies itself on its website as a “custom software solutions company based in Abu Dhabi.” DotDev also has an Egyptian affiliate based in Giza, outside of Cairo.
Twitter‘s actions follow on the heels of Facebook’s removal last month of 350 fake accounts and pages promoting Saudi propaganda, which marked the first time a tech company had linked such activity back to the Saudi government.
Facebook said at the same time it had also suspended a separate network of more than 350 accounts linked to marketing firms called New Waves in Egypt and Newave in the UAE.
‘Platform manipulation’
Twitter has also suspended the account of former Saudi royal court adviser Saud al-Qahtani on Friday, nearly a year after he was sacked over his suspected role in the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Al-Qahtani, a close confidante of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), ran the royal court’s media centre as well as an electronic army tasked with protecting the kingdom’s image and attacking its perceived enemies online.
He dictated Saudi Arabia’s official line on issues including a diplomatic dispute with Qatar and security and human rights.
Twitter declined to specify the precise reason or timing for al-Qahtani’s suspension, saying only that he had violated the company’s “platform manipulation” policies.
Records of his tweets are not being added to its archive of state-backed information operations, the company said in its blog post.
Al-Qahtani has not tweeted since October 22, shortly after he was fired, but sources told Reuters in January that he continued to wield considerable influence behind the scenes.
The former royal adviser, who led fiery social media campaigns against critics of Saudi Arabia, has not appeared publicly since the murder of the Saudi journalist, and his current whereabouts are a subject of fevered speculation.
Although the Saudi public prosecutor has said al-Qahtani participated in a plan to repatriate Khashoggi, officials have refused to disclose whether he was arrested and sources have said he was not among those put on trial for the murder.
Twitter suspended six other accounts linked to the Saudi government which were presenting themselves as independent journalistic outlets “while tweeting narratives favourable to the Saudi government,” it said.
The Saudi government communications office did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment on Friday.
The fake Twitter accounts influencing the Gulf crisis
The blockade of Qatar, led by Saudi Arabia, has seen a slew of fake accounts open up and attempt to sway public opinion.

Social media platforms were essential in the Arab Spring, but governments soon learned how to counter dissent online.

Prepare for a Post-Mobile App World
Amy Groden-Morrison
The mobile app era is coming to an end. Here’s what you need to know about a post-mobile app world.
Mobile technologies over the last several years have focused on mobile apps. But a new report by Gartner, “Preparing for a World Beyond Apps,” says the mobile app era is coming to an end, and will be replaced by a world in which a wide variety of mobile technologies serve consumers and enterprises. Here’s what you need to know about a post-mobile app world, based on the report.
When Gartner refers to a post-app world, they’re not saying that mobile apps will disappear. Instead, they’ll be just one of the many mobile technology that companies use. The report says that this post-app world is coming sooner than you might imagine. It concludes that by 2020 55% of all large enterprises will have deployed at least one post-mobile app technology.
Gartner has this advice for technology professionals about how to prepare for the post-app mobile world: “When developing post-app solutions, application leaders need to keep in mind that, from a user's perspective, ‘it's all about me’ — which it is. Solutions are all about reaching customers where they are, and where they are is not limited to where they are physically.”
The new solutions must take into account these three different “places”:
Physically The actual geographic and physical location.
Contextually What device are people using, what are they doing, how are they doing it, what input is available from sensors, what is the environment around the user?
Experientially What are users experiencing while they’re accessing information? As Gartner explains it: “For example, are they in an immersive experience, or are they at risk due to dangerous chemical levels in an industrial plant?”
Companies need to design an entire range of mobile solutions that take all this into account, and that users access seamlessly. These solutions include chatbots; messaging platforms; virtual personal assistants like Siri, Cortana and Alexa; and immersive technologies including augmented, virtual and mixed reality.
Mobile apps will remain important. Gartner writes: “Mobile apps will never become obsolete. In fact, mobile devices and apps are still very relevant in this post-app era, at least for the next three to five years, because they act as a ‘universal remote’ for interacting with devices and experiences.”
All this may sound vague, so here’s a use case in the post-app world of a worker in a hazardous environment. She clocks in on a tablet-based mobile app, then puts on a head-mounted display (HMD) to check on her work orders for the day. Using augmented reality, she tells the home office she’s entering the work area, and discusses strategies to finish her day’s work. As she completes and updates each task, information about it is sent to the company’s back end system.
When she enters a potentially hazardous area, the HMD measures and monitors chemical levels in the environment, and displays it to her. When hazardous levels are encountered, she gets a message on the HMD or via haptic feedback on a device worn on her wrist. Simultaneously, a message is sent back to the office and to people nearby, alerting them to the potentially dangerous situation. The report also cites an example of a field-service technician using similar post-app technologies.
Alpha Anywhere can help prepare you for the post-app world. For example, it’s ideal for building apps for field-service workers, which can then become what Gartner calls the “universal remote” for their work experiences. If you’re interested in building a field-service app, check out pre-built apps for equipment inspection, oil wells, a construction punch list and more.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey tops franchise's first week sales
Published: 09:29, 11 October 2018
Even though we've all heard about Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's physical first week physical sales falling short of Origins, Ubisoft have another tale to tell - Odyssey has set the record first sales for the franchise in this gen of consoles.
Of course, physical sales are barely a measure of anything in this digital time and age so it's perfectly understandable that including digital sales offsets Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's scale somewhat seriously. When we say scale, we mean the UK physical sales chart, which saw Odyssey in , behind FIFA 19.
Nevertheless, Ubisoft hurried into Alexios and Kassandra's defence, claiming they've been "humbled by the amazing reception from critics and players" alike. The hopes are apparently running so high that the company are expecting Odyssey to be one of all-time performers in the Assassin's Creed stable, an expectation that Ubisoft derived from game reviews and player reactions.
Ubisoft's senior vice president of sales and marketing Geoffroy Sardin said, "Launch is just the start of this epic journey. We have robust content plans for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey that will keep players engaged and exploring the beautiful and compelling world for a long time to come."
Indeed, the company announced extensive coming for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, although most of it is tied to the season pass. We're talking about episodic content in two overarching storylines. The first one is Legacy of The First Blade and it's about the first assassin to take up the famed blade, and The Fate of Atlantis, which should be enough of an explanation in and of itself.
There will be free content too, again episodic, kicking off with The Lost Tales of Greece, which has series of quests featuring both new and familiar faces from the franchise. This Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's DLC will be peppered among the paid DLC episodes, which will perhaps be even more convenient for the season pass holders than for the free playing masses. Of course, there will be recurring game events as well.

Yuba-Sutter COVID-19 ‘infection rate is the highest in the state’
By Jake Abbott / jabbott@appealdemocrat.com
Yuba-Sutter is leading the state … not in a good way.
Daily positive tests for COVID-19 and reported deaths have been alarmingly high in the Yuba-Sutter area.
Bi-County Health Officer Dr. Phuong Luu said local residents must not allow themselves to set aside efforts to guard against infection based on the fact that vaccines are being distributed, as it will still be several more months before vaccines are widely available for the public.
“Approximately one out of every four Sutter County residents is testing positive for COVID-19, and it is about one out of every five residents for Yuba County,” she said.
“Our infection rate is the highest in the state, which means too many are letting down their guards when going out in public or gathering with others. It is going to be particularly crucial during the holidays to take every precaution. Please remember that a gathering does not need to be large – it could be as small as two friends getting together for lunch ... you meeting for coffee with your sister who doesn’t live with you.”
Luu used what has happened at some of the area’s skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities recently as an example of how easily transmission can occur, and how it can sneak into those types of places through a chain of events that begins with people being exposed in the community and not knowing that they are infected before unwittingly bringing the infection into congregant settings.
She said more than 50 percent of new COVID-19 cases are due to asymptomatic transmission. It’s crucial, she said, to lower the rate of transmission in the community to protect the area’s most vulnerable populations.
“This holiday season, let’s commit to protecting these most fragile members of our community by doing our part in staying home when ill, wearing that face mask when out in public, and not gathering with those who do not live in the same household as us,” Luu said.
The number of COVID-19 cases increased by 172 on Thursday, bringing the area’s total to 8,581 cases.
Sixty-nine people were hospitalized as of Thursday evening, while 133 residents recovered from the virus.
Three Yuba-Sutter residents died due to COVID-19 on Thursday – a total of 56 local coronavirus-related deaths have been reported to date.

After the tribe invited more than 100 lawmakers to an informational event about their marijuana cultivation and distribution efforts, five showed up for a facility tour and Q&A Friday morning. Among them were Reps. Paula Hawks, D-Hartford, Elizabeth May, R-Kyle, Spencer Hawley, D-Brookings, and Mathew Wollmann, R-Flandreau, along with Sen. Scott Parsley, D-Madison.
The tribe sent out invitations more than a month ago, hoping the event would increase transparency with lawmakers about the steps they're taking to create a marijuana resort that is set to open Dec. 31.
In a presentation to the handful of lawmakers Friday, Tribal President Tony Reider explained safety protocols the tribe was undertaking. He said the tribe had approved a 36-page control ordinance, had added a marijuana control commission and took additional precautions in tracking plants to keep the growth, distribution and consumption of the drug on tribal property air tight.
"We've decided to be as stringent as possible initially – we can always loosen up," Reider said. "We don't want this stuff hitting the streets, we don't want to sell it by the pound."
Invitation to marijuana facilities gets mixed reactions
But there were concerns among lawmakers about the ramifications for law enforcement officers in surrounding counties who might arrest people coming off tribal land for driving under the influence.
May, who was largely supportive of the decision to grow and sell marijuana, said counties that were already struggling financially likely wouldn't be able to bear the burden of taking on additional expenses from arresting and jailing non-members who used cannabis or non-members who came off tribal land under the influence.
"I'm all about the marijuana, but the fact of it is that we're still the state of South Dakota. So we have one country inside another country," May said. "I'm concerned about what that's going to do for revenues with our counties because our counties are in a terrible financial situation."
Reider and Seth Pearman, tribal attorney, said the tribe would work with the surrounding counties and would consider providing them some revenue from the marijuana sales to offset their costs.
"We have no desire to bankrupt the county by any means, or anything to that extent," Pearman said. "I would say, however, that people who are smoking marijuana in this state know those risks now and are taking them every day."
And when asked about how jurisdiction of state law enforcement officers would apply in policing marijuana use at the resort, Pearman said state officers wouldn't be able to enforce the state's drug laws on tribal grounds without the tribe's consent.
"Although the state may maintain jurisdiction, this is a victimless crime … And because we are a sovereign nation, the state would need to either get consent through tribal warrant or by permission," Pearman said.
Questions and answers on marijuana initiative
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has said he would prosecute non-tribal members who use the drug as well as tribal members who use the drug off tribal ground.
The lawmakers during a tour of the growing facility asked representatives from Monarch America, Inc., a Colorado-based company consulting with the tribe on its marijuana venture, about safeguards to monitor the crops. Jonathan Hunt, vice president of Monarch, showed them electronic key access points, dozens of security cameras and tracking systems used to monitor each plant.
Hundreds of marijuana plants grew under bright lights while legislators looked on and listened to Hunt discuss the growers' natural pesticide, aloe vera.
While touring the warehouse that gave of a slight scent of the plants it contained, May joked to Parsley, Wollmann and Hawley saying, "How are we going to sell this, boys?"
The legislators on more than one occasion told tribe leaders that the Legislature would likely have many concerns about the facility and said it would be difficult to convince other lawmakers that they should accept it.
The story so far: S.D. tribe legalizes marijuana
Though their support ultimately wouldn't make a difference, Hawley told Hunt in a conversation following the tour.
"You guys are doing it no matter what," Hawley told Hunt, "it doesn't matter what we in the Legislature say."
The five legislators said they came away with a better understanding of the tribe's intentions, but still had questions about potential conflicts that could arise between the state and Flandreau tribe.

Reports: Arsenal Could Buy Suarez For £70m
By mac14 on January 5, 2014
Arsenal could sign Luis Suarez for £70m in the summer if Liverpool once again miss out on the top four, according to reports today.
After a sensational start to the season that’s seen the Uruguayan score 20 Premier League goals in just 16 games, Suarez was rewarded with a new £200,000-a-week deal that ties him to Liverpool until 2018.
The 26-year-old signed the contract extension in December, but not before his advisers insisted on having a watertight release clause written into the deal that would allow the striker to leave if the Merseysiders missed out on Champions League football.
The Mirror claim that Liverpool tried to set the fee at £100m – a figure that Suarez thought was excessive – so the two parties eventually settled on a buy-out clause worth £70m.
It means we won’t see a repeat of the rather embarrassing episode we had in the summer that saw us have a £40,000,001 bid rejected by Liverpool after Suarez’s advisers had told us he had a release clause that could be triggered by a bid in excess of £40m.
Suarez made his feelings clear in the summer that he wanted to play in the Champions League, so it’s no surprise that he’s ensured the buy-out clause it crystal clear in his new deal. Miss out on the top four and a club such as Arsenal can buy him for £70m. Simple.
In today’s market, and considering how well Suarez is playing, that would represent something of a bargain. If Bale is worth £100m then Suarez is easily worth that figure.
Liverpool are currently sitting fourth in the league and if Suarez continues to fire during the second half of the campaign, they have a decent chance of qualifying for the Champions League. But if they miss out, I hope we’ll be heading the queue of clubs ready to trigger the strikers £70m buy-out clause.
ArsenalArsene WengerLiverpoolLuis Suareztransfer news
The clause applies to foreign teams bidding only, not England PL teams. In the case of EPL teams bidding, LFC have final say and can demand more apparently
roger long
How can you possibly know that?
I don’t, that’s why I said apparently. It does make sense though, because £70m is within the reach of Chelsea and City, and not so much arsenal.
Rodgers has always maintained that he will not sell to a domestic rival so wouldn’t surprise me if the clause refers only yo foreign teams…. I’m only speculating anyway, who knows the full details?
gullible tards
Neil Murton
Why would he want to go to Aresenal, Liverpool is on the up going forward, Aresenal is a selling club that as not won anything for nearly 10 years.
Usual arsenal arrogance assuming they’ll definitely finish in the top 4. 8 years and counting…
Anthony Romeo
And never Agine will Liverpool play champions league Agine
But we are in a better position than Liverpool Suarez wants champions league can you offer him that . If he cane to arsenal now we would have Been at least 7 points clear by now and then win a trophy
Yeah but do you think arsenal will win the league or a trophy? I think the EPL will be won by Chelsea or City and LFC have as much chance of the fa cup as arsenal do to be fair, and the champions league is either Real madrdids, bay earns or barcelonas so pretty much in
… The same position
It was a rumour started by Daily Mail. The fact is they have no way of knowing the details of the contract. They manipulated both Liverpool and Arsenal fans, adding more spice to the transfer window, and more news and attention for the press. We only know for a fact that if Liverpool fails to qualify for the Champions League, Suarez can leave for a world record fee, may not be the 120m mentioned by Rush but certainly not 70m. Liverpool will not be foolish enough to repeat the same situation last summer, so my guess is there is no outright release clause.
dbradley17
Give it a rest already! Do you think Arsenal will be able to offer him more than Liverpool after this year? Suarez will go to Real Madrid…whether that’s this summer or after, who knows. Why would he go to Arsenal? They won’t pay him more than Liverpool is. Champs league? Arsenal have the same chances as Liverpool in being in the Champs league next year.. It definitely isn’t for the superior fans (ha!) or chances at silverware (ha!). Maybe Adebayor will come back? Keep your fingers crossed!
When did LFC last win the league?
YNWA – you’ll never win anything
When did arsenal ever win d champions league??????
@ Sy “YNWA – you’ll never win anything”
Lfc have won more than Arsenal could ever dream of and when was the last time you won anything?
When was the last time Liverpool won anything?
lol I rest my case… 😉
Once Suarez goes Liverpool will be in the uefa cup again you will never replace suarez
Liverpool won the carling cup a couple of years ago?
I am not old enough to remember you winning the league – sorry!!
Have you won the real trophy – the EPL
The trophy where the best team wins
rustar
Its true liverpool are on the up from a top ten team their a top 7 club now how many years since u finished 1st hahahaha not in ur lifetime will you win the league Everton are without doubt the biggest club on merseyside.
Oyewale Abiodun
It’s Better 2 Have Everton In D Champs League Than Liverpool i.e Having A Team With Quality & Determination Than A Great Team That Fall From Grace 2 Grass.
Comparing Liverpool 2 Arsenal Is Like Comparing A Kitty With A Lion.$
Flying Emirate.
What a bunch of childish morons, my dad’s bigger than you’re dad etc…….
Both teams are on the up this season and I’d much rather be a AFC or LFC fan than a Spud or Manure fan at the moment. As a Liverpool fan I have a lot of respect for Arsenal, the way they’ve stuck with Wenger and never spent too much in the transfer market.
I thought you shouldn’t have sold VP to Man U, in the same way I don’t think LFC should sell Suarez to any other PL team, its basic common sense. The difference is LFC had more control of the Suarez saga than you did with VP. In hindsight though VP move has backfired, and I couldn’t be happier about it, he’s a complete cnut and got what he deserved.
Joel Moses
U will surely eat ur words wen d time cums….gunners 4 life
hayatu hassan
Arsenal has 100per chance with liu suares of win than liverpool so the pay cut price is good for liverpool to bay costa or any good stracker in d nest summer.
Why arsenal they want spend big money like that, becoz of one starcke,wenger forget wit him and find another one. More there on the grund oooo, up arsenal 4 lifz…….
And when was the last time Liverpool whent for champions league
Can’t see Wenger splashing out that kind of money, despite the fantastic form he’s been in. Wouldn’t be surprised with 2 or 3 more 30m+ signings before Wenger retires, but even Man City and Chelsea haven’t spent that kind of money on a single player.
As for all the nonsensical comments above, Suarez clearly was keen to join Arsenal in the Summer, so why would he have no interest now that they’re sitting top of the league and qualified from one of the toughest groups in Champions League history? The pathetic “you haven’t won anything for 8 years lol” doesn’t hold much weight when Ozil would happily join us from a bigger and better team than Liverpool and Suarez seemed to think his prospects would be greater at Arsenal.
If Liverpool once again fail to gain Champions League qualification, there’s absolutely no way they’ll be able to force Suarez to stay for another year. The statement that Liverpool have just as much chance as Arsenal to gain CL Qualification is rather moronic.
Perhaps dbradley17 would like to revisit Suarez’s comments that he wants to be playing at the highest level (ie Champions League), it’s not about getting more money.
happisoul
I don’t know why Wenger is beating around the bush, he said he needs a “special” striker. Isn’t Jackson Martinez one of them?’ Please check out his skills and goals, he is very strong, very quick, got fantastic dribbling skills, very hungry for goals… He is super quality, more so, he is an Arsenal fan. Mr Wenger, no need to look any further, i strongly believe this guy ticks all boxes for us, on a long and and short term fix.

> Artists > Renoir, Auguste
Zu Ihrer Formatangabe wurde leider kein passendes Suchergebnis gefunden.
Renoir was born in 1841 in Limoges and his works are characterized by his indestructible belief in the life-giving power of nature. The bright colours of its landscapes, the sensual grace of the images of women and young girls with her light laughter witness.
First, Renoir worked as a porcelain painter and studied at the Louvre of Antoine Watteau and François Boucher. In 1862 he began studying at the École of des Beaux Arts to the end of the 60s under the influence of the Barbizon School of plein-air painting. As well as Claude Monet, he developed the Impressionism characteristic loose brush style, with the ever-changing in the light colours. In addition to the landscapes, also portraits emerged by his painter friends and his favorite model Lise Tréhot. In the summer of 1869 he made a series of paintings of the restaurant "La Grenoullière", where he frequently visited with Monet. These light-filled images illustrate particularly clearly his distinctive style of volatile brushstrokes and delicate, bright colours, which can hold the flickering of the air and the sparkle of the water.
Renoir also expressed again with muted tonality and denser brush dealing with works by Courbet and Delacroix. His late work demonstrates tremendous colour power and combined with graphic elements which can be anything, suspecting from his severe rheumatic disease, especially of the hands. With the help of a student of the sculptor Maillol created during this period some bronze sculptures.

Team India look to bounce back against Aussies in the ODI series.

Hyderabad: Having convincingly won the recent series in Australia, Virat Kohli & Co. surely must find it embarrassing to be paid back in the same coin, in their own backyard. After a 0-2 loss in the short Twenty20 series at home, Team India would be yearning to get right back at the visitors as the five-match One-Day International series gets underway here on Saturday.
It’s new beginnings, literally. The team will don a brand new national kit that the makers have tagged Fortune Favours The Bold — trust that line translates into a brave performance on the field as the Blues take to the series to fine-tune the squad for the June-July World Cup in England.
The Australians return to the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium where they trained ahead of the games. They have been successful in chasing both Indian totals — high and low — in the two T20 matches the teams have played so far on the current tour. After struggling to surpass a lowly 126 with only the tail in hand, the Kangaroos leapt over an uphill 190 with seven wickets to spare. Bewildering.
Glenn Maxwell, aptly nicknamed the Big Show, has shouldered the Aussie burden with some flamboyant strokeplay in both games — scoring 56 and an unbeaten 113 respectively — to steal India’s thunder. His uncanny ability to get runs at a fast clip should worry the hosts quite a bit.
Opener D’Arcy Short is the other Aussie batsman who has been among the runs in the T20s but that is where the visitors’ batting ended as none other could make a decent contribution. Captain Aaron Finch would like himself, Peter Handscomb and Marcus Stoinis getting bigger numbers against their names on the scoreboard.
Fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile (3 for 26) has done reasonably well in the first game and needs pace partners Pat Cummins and Jason Behrendorff to rally around him. Considering the comfort of the home batsmen against tweakers, it remains to be seen whether Finch will field two spinners in Nathan Lyon and Adam Zampa.
India will look for a good start from Rohit Sharma and K. L. Rahul or Shikhar Dhawan and Ambati Rayudu at the top and rely on Rishabh Pant, Kohli and Kedar Jadhav in the middle to consolidate the innings before accelerating towards the end via the experienced Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Even as Kohli, Rahul and Dhoni’s knocks in the run-up to the ODIs are heartening others need to punch a bit
India’s inexperienced bowling attack doesn’t quite look on top though, evident from the failure to defend a high total in the last game. However, the inclusion of crafty chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav should get the Aussies thinking. The 24-year-old has proved a handful and can turn games big time, especially while bowling in tandem with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
The game’s set for a fair bit of swing and spin for sure.

International Duo Stride to Success at the 27th Laguna Phuket Triathlon
By AT Editor November 24, 2020
(22 November) Krzysztof Hadas of Poland and Inge Prasetyo of Indonesia, both produced stellar performances to take the overall men’s and women’s 27th Laguna Phuket Triathlon respectively.
Finishing first was Krzysztof Hadas of Poland 02:28:23, the 3rd place overall last year, followed by Jaray Jearanai, the homegrown Thai champion at 02:37:35. Third place male was Christopher Mascarenhas Keyes of Great Britain, timed at 02:40:35.
In the women’s field Indonesia’s Inge Prasetyo was in 03:06:17 and claimed her first LPT. In second place was Vansa Chatikavanij (Thailand), timed 03:17:16. Pareeya Sonsem from Thailand came in 3rd (03:20:25).
“It was an amazing day, the swim bike run, everything was perfect. But it was hard at the end as it’s get warmer. I had to motivate myself because I was leading from most of the bike and run. The course was very well prepared, everything was very safe and secure. Thank you to my family and friends who supported me throughout my career” said Hadas.
When asked about her first LPT title, Prasetyo said “It was a great race, I really enjoy it. We were very lucky with the weather, it was cloudy and not too hot. The sea condition was good and the way they organize the road course is amazing.
Thanks to the organisers, I know it’s very difficult to arrange such a huge event during the current pandemic. Thanks to the community for their support. This is one of the must do triathlons and has been on my bucket list.”
Held under enhanced safety and health conditions, more than 650 athletes from across Thailand enjoyed the unique destination distance of 1.8K swim, 50K bike and 12K run.
The race started on the beautiful beachfront next to Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort, with mild weather and the gentle waves of the Andaman Sea. The race’s transition area was located at Laguna Grove, often the site of Laguna Phuket music and community events. As the Phuket heat kicked in, athletes faced the world famous bike course and run throughout Laguna Phuket. The climax of the race saw athletes finishing on the beach at the stunning Xana Beach Club, where they could enjoy the post-race entertainment and refreshments.

Joined by Famous Muay Thai kickboxer Sombat Banchamek a.k.a. “Buakaw” as a first-timer triathlete and Thai celebrity Yossavadee “Yo” Hassadeevichit (04:07:50).
“This year is my most amazing race throughout the past 17 years, having all my friends, family and everyone supporting me. My performance today went as planned. I’m really grateful and will come back next year to defend the Thai title.” Said Jaray.
In the “Sprint Triathlon” category with the race distance includes swim 0.5K, bike 20K and run 6K; Tanadol Witsarutsin (in 01:04:42) and Sarah Virginia Costeira (01:15:45) finished first in male and female categories respectively.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios: All you need to know
By autoX Editorial | on August 12, 2019
The new Hyundai Grand i10 is coming our way on 20th August. It comes with a new Nios suffix and will continue to sell alongside the previous-gen Grand i10. Here’s all that we know about the car so far
Hyundai is set to bring in the all-new Hyundai Grand i10 Nios in less than two weeks. The Korean carmaker has rolled out the first Grand i10 Nios today from their plant in Sriperumbudur near Chennai. Scheduled to be launched on 20th August, Hyundai released a few pictures and a video of its upcoming mid-range hatch. Here’s all you can expect from the car.
Let’s start with the outside first. The Grand i10 Nios borrows some of its philosophy from the new Santro. It gets a large grille at the front – much like the Santro – but this one is accompanied by boomerang-shaped Daytime Running Lights on either side. To se the Nios apart from the Grand i10, Hyundai has also fitted it with projector headlamps. Along the sides, the design is clean and looks like a good amalgamation of the old i20 and the Grand i10 – especially the way the boot and the taillights look from the side. The alloy wheels and the chrome door handles give the Nios a nice sense of contrast.
Interior: Apart from the single image of the dashboard that Hyundai has released, not much is known about the interior so far. First things first, the interior design is all-new as well. There’s a new steering wheel, fresh layout as well as new colours. The steering wheel is new and so is the semi-digital instrument cluster behind it. The instrument console extends towards the centre of the dash and houses the central infotainment screen as well. Unlike the Grand i10, the Nios’ air-con vents sit below the infotainment system. Hyundai has given the beige and black combination a miss this time around – the Nios comes with a black and grey combination for the interior. Certain details on the dashboard and the interior are noteworthy – for instance, the pin-striped seat fabric and the contours on the door pads and the passenger-side add a sense of style to the cabin.
Features: The images of the Grand i10 Nios are clearly of the top-spec trim. With that in mind and what we’ve come to expect from Hyundai, it will come superbly equipped. At the top of the list is wireless charging – for the first time in the segment. Other features include touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two USB ports, automatic climate control and rear AC vents. On the outside, the car will come with projector headlamps and fog lamps, DRLs, alloy wheels, shark fin antenna and more.
Engine and Transmission: Expect the Grand i10 Nios to come with the same engine options as the Grand i10 – 1.2-litre petrol and diesel motors. Both these motors will be BS-VI compliant and can be driven today even with the BS-IV fuel available – just like the Kia Seltos. As far as transmission goes, it will come paired with a 5-speed manual and an AMT.
Price and positioning:
With the price of the Grand i10 ranging from Rs 4.97 lakh to Rs 7.62 (ex-showroom Delhi), expect the Nios to demand a marginal premium given the increase in size and features. We are expecting it to be priced in the Rs 5.25 lakh to Rs 8 lakh range. With the sub-10 lakh segment already tightly packed for Hyundai – they have the Santro, Grand i10 and the Elite i20 already – it will be interesting to see if the Nios finds its niche in the crowd. Considering that the prices will surely overlap with the Grand i10 and Elite i20, Hyundai will also need to keep a keen eye out for cannibalisation.

Judge frees Dagenham woman accused in shooting trial
A woman accused of trying to interfere with the police investigation into a sub-machine gun shooting has walked free from court today.
Eden Lee-Thomas, 23, of Northfield Road, Dagenham, was allegedly recruited to visit a suspect on remand at prison for the murder of 24-year-old Larry Malone.
It was claimed she attempted to prevent 19-year-old Shevonne Legister talking to police and find out what she had told officers in interview.
But following legal argument at the close of the prosecution case, the judge dismissed the allegation of perverting the course of justice.
He directed the jury to find Lee-Thomas not guilty of the charge and ordered her to be discharged.
Judge Stephen Kramer QC said: “I have decided as a matter of law that Eden Lee-Thomas should not face that count and it is not met out as a matter of law.
“It is my decision and my decision alone as the judge of the law.”
The Old Bailey has heard Legister was caught with the Mac10 weapon used to shoot Mr Malone.
She is facing trial for murder alongside Lemuel Robinson, 26, and Andrew Cross, 27.
Mr Malone was killed at a flat in Harpenden Road, West Norwood at around 12.46am on September 2 last year.
It is claimed a third man, Shubiah Linton, 27, helped arrange the collection of the Mac 10 from Legister by a man in a white van.
Cross, of Colchester, and Robinson, of Sutton, Surrey, both deny murder.
Legister, of West Norwood, southeast London, denies murder and assisting an offender by taking delivery of the Mac 10 machine gun.
Linton, of no fixed address, denies assisting an offender, possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of ammunition without a certificate.
The trial continues.

Top 15 Fantasy RB's for 2020
15. Jonathan Taylor RB Colts
I wasn't super high on Jonathan Taylor coming out of Wisconsin, but he landed in an absolutely perfect spot. It seems like the entire NFL is going in a pass first direction, but the Colts are going completely against the grain. They're going to more of a run first offense that's extremely physical led by Quenton Nelson. Marlon Mack is going to start the season as the lead back, but by the end of the year I see Jonathan Taylor being the lead ball-carrier. He won't put up those crazy fantasy stats up early in the year, but by the time you're making that playoff push he's going to produce. The Colts are going to be a sneaky good team and Jonathan Taylor will be their emerging star. He's not higher on this list because realistically, Marlon Mack is going to take away some of his touches. Taylor is going to be really good in his rookie season.
Stat Prediction: 800 rush yards 7 rushing touchdowns 100 receiving yards 1 receiving touchdown
14. Mark Ingram RB Ravens
Mark Ingram is one of my favorite players in the entire NFL. He's the vocal leader on the Ravens offense and is a beast. We know the Ravens are going to run the ball this year, but the reason he's not higher on my list is because of how many weapons are in that Ravens' backfield. Mark Ingram should still have double digit touchdowns this year, but he's not going to have as many touches with the addition of star rookie JK Dobbins. Not to mention, Lamar Jackson is also the best running quarterback I've ever seen. The reason Mark Ingram makes it onto my list is because of how good the Ravens are. Baltimore is going to be up in the majority of all their games in 2020, so they're going to want to run the clock out. Mark Ingram is going to get carries, but he shouldn't be higher than your number three running back for your fantasy teams.
Stat Prediction: 1,000 rush yards 10 rushing touchdowns 150 receiving yards 2 receiving touchdowns
13. Aaron Jones RB Packers
I absolutely love Aaron Jones, I actually loved him coming out of UTEP. I just don't love him as a fantasy RB in 2020. I have no faith in the Packers this year and they just drafted AJ Dillon in the second round. He's going to take away a high percentage of Jones' goal line carries. Jamaal Williams is also a really solid RB2. I see Matt Lafleur leaning on Aaron Rodgers' arm a lot more in 2020 and they will be behind in more games in 2020. Aaron Jones is an awesome RB and he should still have over 1000 rushing yards in 2020, but he shouldn't more than your RB2 for your fantasy squad.
Stat Prediction: 900 rush yards 7 rushing touchdowns 300 receiving yards 2 receiving touchdowns
12. Kenyan Drake RB Cardinals
Kenyan Drake had a very special season last year and won some guys their fantasy leagues in 2020, but I see the Cardinals offense being more pass first in 2020. Kenyan Drake surprised everyone last year and he was tearing up the league once he got to Arizona. Kyler Murray is going to take over the league in 2020, so I see him being used more in the passing game. I'm not drafting him until the third round, but Kenyan Drake should be a good fantasy option in 2020.
11. Joe Mixon RB Bengals
Joe Mixon is a really good running back and he's worth at least a late first rounder or early second round pick. The Bengals are going to be a fun team to watch in 2020 and I expect Mixon to be that bell cow back. That being said he's on a team that's probably going to be behind in most games so I expect the Bengals to throw the ball a lot in 2020. Joe Burrow is a lot better than Andy Dalton and with Jonah Williams healthy this offensive line should be better. Joe Mixon is an awesome running back and just because he's not in the top 10, doesn't mean he's not worth a first round pick. Mixon is elusive and I think he could have a 1,200 yard season. Joe Mixon is a solid RB1 for your fantasy lineups.
10. Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB Chiefs
I'm really excited about Clyde the glide for multiple reasons. First off, he's going to be "THE GUY" in Kansas City from day one. With Damien Williams sitting out in 2020, there isn't a lot of competition of CEH. The Chiefs are a team that should be ahead in a high percentage of their games so they'll be wanting to run the clock out. I see Clyde Edwards-Helaire taking a Kareem Hunt role for the Chiefs offense. Clyde is so elusive and is going to be a huge X-Factor for the Kansas City. I would take him as early as the second round and he'll be a low-end RB1 in the beginning of the season and will end the season as a high-end RB1.
Stat Prediction: 1,000 rush yards 6 rushing touchdowns 750 receiving yards 8 receiving touchdowns
9. Miles Sanders RB Eagles
I love Miles Sanders. He might be my favorite running back in the entire NFL. He's so elusive and he should be taking a huge step up in 2020. He got better as the season went on in 2019 and he should be an absolute star this year. The Eagles don't have a whole lot of pieces on offense and Deuce Staley has talked about making him their bell cow guy. Sanders is an amazing receiver out of the back field and his chemistry with Carson Wentz is on point. Sanders is a solid RB1 in fantasy and a high end RB2. I'd look to draft him late in the first round or early in the second.
8. Nick Chubb RB Browns
Nick Chubb is the most consistent running back in the NFL and if I know I need 10 points in a game, there's no one I'd rather have than Chubb. Chubb is also in a way better offense than he was in 2019 and Stefanski should give Chubb a lot more opportunities to run in space. The Browns offense will be a lot smarter and utilize different personnel groups which should benefit Chubb a lot in 2020. I don't see him getting as many carries as he had in 2019. Kareem Hunt is a top 20 running back in the NFL and the Browns passing offense will be a lot better. I think Odell and Jarvis are each going to have big years and Baker Mayfield will take a big leap in year three. Chubb is a good RB1 to have, but don't expect as many carries as he had in his second season.
Stat Prediction: 1,400 rush yards 9 rushing touchdowns 200 receiving yards 1 receiving touchdown
7. Josh Jacobs RB Raiders
Josh Jacobs is dope. He's heavily underrated and should be even better than he was in year 1. He understands how to step up his blocks better and will be a bigger factor in the receiving game. Last season he was really banged up and now he's finally healthy. I just see him being an absolute star this season and the Raiders should be a lot better. Ruggs is going to keep teams from stacking the box against Las Vegas and Jacobs should be looked at as a RB1 for your fantasy teams. He's worth a late first round pick.
6. Alvin Kamara RB Saints
Kamara was a little bit lower on my list until I found out that last season he was playing on a torn MCL. That is RIDICULOUS. Kamara is so slippery and we know the Saints are going to have a good team in 2020. They should be a head in a lot of matchups which will result to them running the clock out. Kamara doesn't have a lot of competition when it comes to guys stealing his carries. The only one who I see as a legit threat is Taysom Hill. I'm expecting a big comeback season from Kamara in 2020 and he should be a top 7 pick in all of your fantasy drafts.
5. Derrick Henry RB Titans
Derrick Henry was a beast last season. An absolute tank. I don't see the Titans being as run heavy as they were in 2019. With the emergence of AJ Brown and Ryan Tannehill, they're going to throw the ball a lot more. I also really like Darrynton Evans as a third down back in that offense. That being said, Derrick Henry will still be a top 5 running back. The dude is an absolute beast. He'll really step up after week 10 and help you win your fantasy leagues. Derrick Henry is going to be a monster once again this season.
4. Dalvin Cook RB Vikings
Dalvin Cook has really, really grown on me this offseason. Just imagine what he'd do in Kyle Shanahan's offense. He's basically getting a simpler version of that offense with Gary Kubiak at OC. This Vikings offensive line is a lot better and has depth. They still only have about two real receiver targets so they should be running ball a lot. Cook is so explosive and while I see Alexander Mattison taking some of his carries, Cook should still be a beast. I think Cook's going to be even better than he was in 2019.
3. Ezekiel Elliott RB Cowboys
ZEEEKKEEEE... Ezekiel Elliott is a beast and is going to have a ton of production. He's a super reliable option and every season he has at least one game with three or four touchdowns. If I want a guy who I know for a fact will end the season as a top 5 running back, I'm picking Zeke. The Cowboys should have a top 5 offense in the NFL and Zeke should have a career season.
2. Saquon Barkley RB Giants
Ezekiel Elliott has the second highest running back grade I've ever given to an RB coming out of the draft... you know who has the highest? Saquon Barkley. After drafting Andrew Thomas, the Giants offensive line should be the best it's been in year and I'm actually pretty excited about this offense. The game should have slowed down for Daniel Jones by now and the Giants now run an offense that should produce a lot of yards. The offense won't be too difficult to pick up and should favor Saquon a lot. I'm not ever worried about Saquon once he has the ball, it's about getting him the ball. Jason Garrett is good at getting his star players the ball so Saquon should have another awesome year in 2020.
1. Christian McCaffrey RB Panthers
Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in the NFL, and I don't think it's very close. McCaffrey has the perfect quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, to compliment his skill set. McCaffrey is the face of the franchise and he's going to be the focal point in Joe Brady's offense. Christian McCaffrey should be the unanimous number one overall pick for all fantasy leagues.

Swiss Jazz Orchestra “Lucidity” & Ratchet Orchestra “Hemlock”
For today’s Tiny Reviews edition, two big band albums which each grabbed my ear back when they were released in 2012, and haven’t really ever let go since. So here’s a little bit about each of them.
Swiss Jazz Orchestra – Lucidity
A fixture on the Bern, Switzerland scene for the last decade, the Swiss Jazz Orchestra has been finding that sweet spot between traditional big band sound and modern conventions. On Lucidity, they bring all of the abounding euphoria one would expect from a small army of brass, woodwinds, and percussion, while at the same time, adding eccentricities and odd brush strokes that give the music a potently cerebral value, too.
Piano and percussion make for a vibrant pairing throughout this fine album, notably on the opening to “Teebeutelregen,” giving it a fairy tale mysticism, and later for an interlude on “A Chaser,” which serves as a transition from an exuberant group section to a bass solo. The saxophone section also particularly shines on this recording. Led by under-the-radar musician Reto Suhner, saxophones weave a tangled web of melody, yet never let it get anywhere close to becoming an unidentifiable mess.
Most tracks have an up-tempo demeanor, but some, like “Bathayal,” slows it down, letting saxophones take some lovely solos, and even on a track like “Losing Lucidity,” which is far from a ballad, yet the composition allows trumpet to coast over the tempo with unhurried purpose. “Promenade” take a bit more of a mainstream approach, giving something up in terms of edge, and even a jaunty piano solo isn’t enough to overcome an unfortunate electric guitar section. “Figment” also begins with a mainstream groove… bright notes and a slick bass line, but it gradually moves into something far less conventional… spurred on primarily by some nice trombone work, and, then, some intriguing percussion, and what began as ordinary has transformed into some quite nifty and different.
An album with a few flaws, but also an album that I return to with some amount of regularity when I’m looking for some big band music. Definitely worth checking out.
[EDITOR’S NOTE: Unable to confirm album personnel for this recording.]
Released on the Mons Records label.
Listen to more of the album on the artist’s Soundcloud page.
Jazz from the Bern, Switzerland scene.

Ratchet Orchestra – Hemlock
On Hemlock, the 30-piece big band Ratchet Orchestra displays a talent at presenting traditional big band music through a modern avant-garde lens, with the resulting picture a clear image of strange and beautiful music. Employing improvisational techniques that free the music of preordained form, they sprinkle their compositions with a pop-music melodic attention to detail and an industrial music mutation of sound, and it’s why tracks begin with an expected euphoric lift suddenly develop into big band music run through an audio blender. Orchestral grace and avant-garde dissonance both find a home here.
“Yield” has a catchy hop and bounce, a celebration of celebrations, whereas “Safety” is the music of church mice. The whimsical “Kick” is a jaunty tune that brings in some spoken word and percussion that sounds taken from a hardware store. The two-part “Kick” builds melodies inside a rhythmic tempest, sometimes battered by the intensity, sometimes riding the drafts. “Winnow” is a moonlight serenade on a night that gets a little stormy, but never stops feeling safe.
An inventive album from an innovative ensemble that’s been around for some time now.
Your album personnel: Craig Dionne (flute), Jean Derome (bass flute, picolo, flute), Lori Freedman (clarinet), Gordon Krieger (bass clarinet), Christopher Cauley (soprano sax), Louisa Sage (alto sax), Damian Nisenson (tenor sax), Jason Sharp (bass sax), Ellwood Epps, Philippe Battikha (trumpets), Tom Walsh, Scott Thomson (trombones), Jacques Gravel (bass trombone), Thea Pratt (Eb horn), Eric Lewis (Euphonium), Noah Countability, Gabriel Rivest (tubas), Joshua Zubot, Guido Del Fabbro, Brigitte Dajczer (violins), Jean René, Gen Heistek (violas), Norsola Johnson (cello), Nicolas Caloia (bass), Chris Burns (guitar), Guillaume Dostaler (piano), Ken Doolittle (percussion), Michel Bonneau (conga), Isaiah Ceccarelli, John Heward (drums).

Home MMA News Conor McGregor Dillon Danis could be unable to corner Conor McGregor at UFC 246
Dillon Danis could be unable to corner Conor McGregor at UFC 246
BJJ ace Dillon Danis is one of Conor McGregor’s key training partners, and has undoubtedly been particularly valuable as McGregor prepares for the submission chops of Donald Cerrone. Unfortunately, there is a small barrier to Danis actually being able to corner McGregor for his fight wth Cerrone, which tops the UFC 246 card this Saturday.
According to Kevin Iole, who spoke to Nevada Athletic Commission director Bob Bennett, Danis still owes the state of Nevada $7,500 for his role in the infamous UFC 229 brawl between McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teams.
If Danis doesn’t pay this remaining sum, he won’t be allowed to corner McGregor at the Las Vegas card.
According to Bob Bennett, @dillondanis owes state of Nevada, NOT the athletic commission, $7,500 from his punishment in the #McGregorKhabib brawl at #UFC229. He will not be allowed to work @TheNotoriousMMA's corner at #UFC246 until he pays the fine.
— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) January 10, 2020
“According to Bob Bennett, @dillondanis owes state of Nevada, NOT the athletic commission, $7,500 from his punishment in the #McGregorKhabib brawl at #UFC229,” Iole wrote on Twitter. “He will not be allowed to work @TheNotoriousMMA’s corner at #UFC246 until he pays the fine.”
While the most likely outcome of this situation seems to Danis — or McGregor — paying this $7,500 fine, it will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
Danis has most likely played a crucial role in McGregor’s preparations for Cerrone, who has a long list of submission victories on his resume.
“Conor’s always been prepared, man,” Danis told The Schmo of McGregor’s grappling. “Conor’s been one of the best jiu-jitsu guys that I’ve ever rolled with, like MMA-wise since I started training with him. His jiu-jitsu is on another level, and it always has been.
“I think people just underestimate him for some reason, but if it does go to the ground, they’ll see,” Danis added. “They’ll see how good he is.”
Do you think we’ll see Dillon Danis in Conor McGregor’s corner at UFC 246?

Home MMA News Brad Pickett Brad Pickett is “Honored” To be Urijah Faber’s Final Opponent, Vows to...
Brad Pickett is “Honored” To be Urijah Faber’s Final Opponent, Vows to “Send him Out in Style.”
On this week’s episode of The MMA Hour, long-time bantamweight contender Urijah Faber made the somewhat surprising announcement that his recently announced bout with England’s Brad Pickett will be the last of his career. This Faber swan song will occur on December 17 in Sacremento, California – the home of his renowned gym, Team Alpha Male.
“I’ve been kind of waiting for this,” Faber said to host Ariel Helwani on the show. “This is actually going to be my last fight. And it just feels right to do it in [Sacramento] in this new arena. It just feels like the right time and the right place. I’ve been waiting for this new arena to be built, I was waiting for that Dominick Cruz opportunity, and I feel like this is going to be an epic event and I can’t wait to do it in front of the people I love.”
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for this news to reach the ears of Faber’s upcoming opponent, Brad Pickett. Shortly after Faber’s announcement, Pickett reached out to Helwani to express how honored he is to be the final opponent of Faber’s illustrious career.
“When I was offered this fight I was pumped,” Pickett explained. “It has relit a fire in me that I was worried was slowly burning out. Faber is a true pioneer of the sport. He is an excellent role model and a ridiculously talented athlete and I’m humbled that I get to share the Octagon with him in his hometown for his last fight.”
“When I saw your announcement this evening, I texted him straight away letting him know how honored I was to be his last opponent,” the Brit continued.
I know we’re going to put on a good old fashioned scrap to send him out in style,” Pickett said. “It will be one no one will forget, I’m sure we’ll both make sure of that.”
Pickett will enter this bout with a tough record 1-5 in his last 5 fights, having recently come up short against Ian McCall, Chico Camus, Thomas Almeida and Iuri Alcantara, and kept himself afloat with a contentious split win over Francisco Rivera.
Faber, meanwhile, will enter his final bout on a two-fight skid, having lost decisions to reigning champ Dominick Cruz and top contender Jimmie Rivera in his last two fights. Though the California native never won gold in the UFC, he did sit atop the featherweight throne in the now defunct WEC, and is widely credited for his role in putting the lighter weight classes on the map.
Who do you think wins this clash of bantamweight veterans? Sound off, PENN Nation!

Black Women Business Owners Outpace All Other Startups Six Times National Average
by Carolyn M. Brown March 4, 2016 November 25, 2017 1910
 The number of businesses owned by minority women has increased from 1 in 6 in 1997 to 1 in 3 in 2015, per the 2015 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report commissioned by American Express OPEN.
While non-minority women-owned firms grew 40% over the 18-year time period, black women-owned firms grew 322% and Latina-owned firms grew 224%. Women now own 30% of all businesses in the U.S., accounting for some 9.4 million firms. And African American women control 14% of these companies, or an estimated 1.3 million businesses, employing 297,500 workers and generating $52.6 billion in revenue.
[Related: New Startup Accelerator Addresses Needs of Minority and Women Entrepreneurs Who Have Limited Access]
What’s more, studies show that women tend to create home-based micro businesses and personal service based businesses, while men starting businesses are entering construction and contracting fields. Washington, DC and New York, New York are reportedly two cities with high rates of black female entrepreneurship.
Black women are the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in the nation, starting businesses at six times the national average.
Despite such numbers, African American female entrepreneurs start their ventures with less funding then men. They also receive less money from private investors. In 2014, 36% of startups pitching to angels were women-led and 15% of these secured funding, while 24% of firms presenting were minority-led and of these 16% received angel investment, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire.
In addition to access to capital, access to influential networks and mentors are challenges facing women entrepreneurs in growing their businesses.
“One of the most remarkable entrepreneurial trends in recent years is the phenomenal growth among black women. The number of firms skyrocketed. And employment and receipts are increasing too, but not nearly at the same rate. There’s a lot more to this story, and we’re excited to explore these important questions,” stated Amanda Brown, executive director, National Women’s Business Council.

Ryan Garcia Answered A lot of Questions in Campbell Fight
By Francisco Salazar
Published On Wed Jan 6, 2021, 04:25 AM EST
Ryan Garcia continues to win, and win impressively.
This past Saturday, the unbeaten lightweight claimed an interim world title belt by overcoming a knockdown to knock out two-time world title challenger Luke Campbell in round 8 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Rather than celebrate a solid win, the 22-year-old is hearing more criticism than praise.
Garcia answered a lot of questions with his knockout win Saturday night.
Number one, he was able to overcome adversity. Garcia was able to recover from the knockdown in round 2, which he admitted he was hurt, and was able to gather himself to fight on. Not many prospects or unbeaten fighters would have been able to do what Garcia did.
Number two, Garcia maintained his composure, following through on the instructions of trainer Eddy Reynoso. There may or may not be a language barrier between Reynoso, who primarily speaks Spanish, and Garcia, who primarily speaks English, but both were on the same page and in sync in the corner at the conclusion of each round.
So again, why the criticism or ‘hate’ on what Garcia’s performance against Campbell? Does this go beyond the ring?
Garcia may be a 22-year-old social media star, with about 506,000 followers on Twitter, and 8.2 million followers on Instagram, but he is proving to be a solid contender in the ring. His two years with Reynoso have showed an improved skill-set and ring generalship, despite some lapses in defense and not tucking in his chin.
Is Garcia ready for the likes of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, who he called out in the post-fight press conference? That is a huge step-up in opposition, one that would have to wait as promotional and network issues will prevent that fight from happening this year or in 2022. Garcia is promoted by Golden Boy, which streams their cards on DAZN and Davis is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, which has had cards aired mostly on Showtime.
Not to mention the animosity between Oscar De La Hoya, Garcia’s promoter, and Al Haymon, Davis’ advisor, may make any and all negotiations awkward or not even take place at all.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has stated the plan is to have Garcia challenge WBC lightweight titleholder Devin Haney, since the winner of the Garcia-Campbell fight became Haney’s mandatory.
Haney also has to deal with another mandatory in Javier Fortuna, per the WBC rules.
Why not build a potential Haney-Garcia fight for later this year by having a card with Haney facing Fortuna, fulfilling that mandatory, and Garcia facing someone the likes of Jorge Linares. Both Garcia and Linares were penciled to fight this past July in Los Angeles, but those plans went awry due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What would a win over Linares do for Garcia? Well, for those critics who believe the win over Campbell was no good enough, a victory over Linares would be more of a statement.
But that is the thing with critics of Garcia? What would satisfy them? Wins over Haney, Davis, and Teofimo Lopez, who has the other world title belts. Is that would it would take?
Or for Garcia to lose? That could happen. Garcia does have defensive flaws, especially with an aggressive style. But, look who suffered a loss and was able to bounce back to become the recognized best fighter in boxing today? Stablemate and friend Canelo Alvarez. You think a loss will deter Garcia from winning a world title or two at 135 pounds or even at 140?
Garcia has mentioned he does not want to stay long in boxing. In April of last year, Garcia stated he wanted to fight for another five years. So basically, he would be done prizefighting before reaching age 30.
Garcia has proven to take the sport seriously and not to be a hype job. Reynoso is a no-nonsense trainer who has had to lay down the law, so to speak, with Garcia and set high expectations in the gym.
Garcia is 22. Maybe he has hit his ceiling. Maybe not. He is in good hands with Reynoso, Canelo Alvarez, and promoter Oscar De La Hoya to guide his career. He has been matched appropriately for a fighter at this stage of his career.
If you are still not convinced Garcia is a contender, or even a good fighter, that is fine. Garcia seems to ignore or feed off the criticism. He is going to continue being who he is, inside and outside the ring.
Maybe you will grow to eventually give him his due.

Garcia vs. Campbell
Comment by Corelone on 01-06-2021
Linares? He's been KOd more times than Khan. Exactly who has he beat to earn this confidence? Mitchell, Crolla, and Campbell? He eats more Brit lunch than Canelo.

Would love to see Garcia fight against Linares. That’s an intriguing matchup and I believe that Garcia will make a statement.
Comment by anonymous2.0 on 01-06-2021
AT this point Ryan blasts out Linares similar to how Caesar Pablo Cano did
Comment by Coqqos on 01-06-2021
Garcia beats linares. Linares is slowing down, although he might be more up for a fight like this than his most recent ones. Still, i would believe he would have too much handspeed and power for this version of linares

Theatre Royal Drury Lane Seating Plan
Catherine Street
WC2B 5JF
(5mins) Go right on Long Acre; turn right into Bow Street and after 100 metres it will be on your left in Russell Street/Catherine Street.
A West End venue on the larger end of the scale at over 2,000 seats, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane features 4 levels: the Stalls, the Grand Circle, the Upper Circle and the Balcony. The Stalls stretch away from the stage from row A back to row ZZ, with seats going across the auditorium from 1 to 39 (with two gaps along the row), whilst the Grand Circle stretches back from row A to L with a maximum 39 seats going across. Meanwhile, the Upper Circle features rows from A to L with 40 seats across maximum and the Balcony stretches from row A to L with a maximum of 39 seats across. This makes for a total of between 2,196 and 2,222 seats on 4 levels.
As patrons access the venue through the main entrance they will find the Box Office on their right. To access the stalls, 20 steps go down and then a further 17 go up. 39 steps go up to the Dress Circle and 61 up to the Upper Circle.

The Brearley School Plan for Reopening 2020
The Brearley Lower School cultivates five core values: honesty, kindness, respect, responsibility and courage. Character development, problem solving and the expression of ideas, along with the acquisition of skills across a variety of domains, are the primary focus of the Lower School. Full of energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity, Brearley’s K–IV students inspire their peers and their teachers to learn and think in interesting and varied ways. The School encourages integrity and dignity in its youngest students, as well as an awareness and mindfullness that they exist not only as individuals but as members of a community of eager learners.
There are many opportunities for responsibility and independence in the Lower School. At first, they may act as messengers or visit other classrooms at snack time; later on, as they become more adept at individual decision making, they take on the responsibility of trips to the gym, music rooms, or cafeteria on more distant floors sometimes on their own. While the homeroom is the center of the girls’ academic and social lives, they congregate once during a rotation in Assemblies to share songs, plays and recitations and to welcome guest speakers on topics such as the history of jazz, children’s literature, and science-related topics.
The development of character forms a substantial part of the Lower School curriculum through formal lessons in social and emotional learning as well as during the informal interactions during the school day. Children learn how to express and manage themselves as they explore the notion of cooperation, respect, and community responsibility. In addition to service projects and the beehive of daily life in every homeroom, studying literature and drama helps girls to think beyond themselves. In all Lower School classes, conversations about relationships arise from reading and other activities. With teachers as guides, Lower School students establish the social and academic skills that will support their learning and growth throughout a lifetime of education.
Classes run in fifty-minute blocks in a six-day rotating schedule. There is a mid-morning snack, a lunch period and a time for recess. At the beginning and end of each day, a transitional period allows girls to begin and end the fast pace of a kaleidoscopic day to a more serene one, taking stock at they organize themselves, listen to announcements, do morning work, or finish up projects begun earlier in the day. While the majority of the girls’ studies take place in the classrooms, teachers take advantage of the rich tapestry of experiences that New York City as a background provides. The students travel by foot, train, bus, ferry, and tram to reach destinations in and among the five boroughs to explore such sights as Ellis Island, Union Square Greenmarket, Wykoff Farmhouse, or to see a performance at Alvin Ailey Dance Theater.
Families are expected to read aloud with their children daily from Kindergarten on, and girls are expected to read to themselves daily once they have developed the skills to do so. In addition to reading for pleasure, formal homework assignments begin in Class II and the demands increase incrementally as the students make their way through the Lower School.

Language and Education in Nigeria ©
The question of which language to best instruct children in during their formal education is a long-standing debate in Nigeria, and across Africa.
Research carried out in African and non-African contexts has clearly shown that children learn best in a language they understand and speak fluently. Learning in such a language environment carries significant cognitive, socio-emotional and cultural benefits. In a linguistically complex environment like Nigeria, what is the best language policy for supporting and enhancing student learning? What are the language solutions that will provide real quality education to Nigerian children, giving them the knowledge and skills they need for economic well-being and lifelong learning?
In order to answer some of these questions, British Council, in partnership with UNICEF, is conducting a research into the impact of language of instruction policy and practice on student learning outcomes in Nigeria. The first part of the research is a literature review of the current situation, drawing on the experience of academics, policy makers and programme implementers across the country.
This research builds on the British Council’s Language Policy Dialogues, which started in 2016 in Nigeria and bring together experts in the field of language use in the classroom. Working with other international development partners, the Language Policy Dialogues have provided a regular forum for a community of practice to debate the latest evidence from programme implementation, strategies that can develop best practice, and how to best work with government at all levels to scale these up.

Published: 3 December 2020
Reporter: Steve Orme
Online underwater adventure: The Little Mermaid
All in-person performances of Mike Kenny’s The Little Mermaid at Derby Theatre have been cancelled as the city has entered the government’s tier three COVID restrictions.
However, the theatre is offering the opportunity to experience the show at home: a full, 45-minute recording will be available to view online on selected dates.
The Little Mermaid is an underwater adventure aimed at children aged five and above and their families. The cast will feature two teams of actors who will perform on alternate dates: April Nerissa Hudson and Oliver Ashworth, and Joelle Brabban and Jordan Laidley.
It is directed by Derby Theatre’s artistic director Sarah Brigham backed by the creative team who have produced many of the theatre’s Christmas shows.
The Little Mermaid will run from Tuesday 8 December until Saturday 2 January 2021.

Call for papers: Piranesi @300 International conference
Piranesi @300 International conference
Centro Studi Cultura e Immagine di Roma/Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale
Istituto Centrale per la Grafica
The British School at Rome
Académie de France à Rome – Villa Médicis
Organised by Clare Hornsby and Mario Bevilacqua
Deadline for submissions extended from April to July 31st 2020
In the light of current uncertainties, we plan to host the conference both live in Rome and via online platforms to facilitate international participation.
Concluding the year celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, this conference aims to reveal new aspects of his life and works, their contexts and critical fortune and we are seeking proposals for a comparison of interdisciplinary themes and innovative methodologies.
Some ideas of themes that could be addressed:
Piranesi artist, theorist, entrepreneur and merchant
Many aspects of Piranesi’s life and work still remain in the shadows: we hope to discover new documentary data, new drawings, new interpretations, new networks.
Piranesi and History: the Mediterranean civilizations, the fall of the Empire, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Egypt, Etruria, Greece, Rome. From the fall of the Empire to the Renaissance. Piranesi and the texts of his books, the birth of archaeology, the philosophy of history in 18th century Europe.
Piranesi: Europe, America, the world
Piranesi as ‘global’ artist. His lasting reputation – from Rome across 18th century Europe – takes on different aspects in different European contexts: England, France, Germany, Russia – and in the more distant United States and Latin America, Australia and Japan, maintaining close yet changing relationships with art, literature, photography and cinema.
Piranesi as architect: monument, city, utopia
Though constantly designing, he was the architect of only one building, S. Maria del Priorato on the Aventine hill yet Piranesi always signed himself ‘architect’. His vision of Roman architecture and of the ancient metropolis states certainties and raises concerns about the dystopian future of the global city.
Piranesi in the global 21st century: new methods for new paths of research
We can ask questions about Piranesi in the context of contemporary scenarios. His work continues to provoke reflection, inspire new projects and interpretations.
The languages of the conference are English, Italian and French, and the event will be open to the public.
We invite doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, established scholars to submit proposals for papers which contain new research or use new approaches. These will fall into two groups:
15 minute presentations on one event, object or discrete theme;
30 minute presentations on wider issues
Please send a 250 word CV and an abstract in English, French or Italian of either 500 words (for a 15 minute talk) or 1000 words (for 30 minute talk); the abstract should make clear the new content of the contribution.
The address to send these to is : Piranesi300@gmail.com by April 30th 2020. We plan to offer accommodation in Rome to speakers at the conference though we are not able to assist with travel costs.
We propose to publish a volume of the papers of the conference.
Scientific committee: Francesca Alberti (Académie de France à Rome), Fabio Barry (Stanford University), Mario Bevilacqua (Università degli Studi di Firenze, CSCIR), Clare Hornsby (British School at Rome), Giorgio Marini (Ministero Beni Culturali), Heather Hyde Minor (Notre Dame Rome), Susanna Pasquali (La Sapienza Roma), Frank Salmon (Cambridge University), Giovanna Scaloni (Istituto Centrale per la Grafica).

The Darts - I Like You But Not Like That LP
Alternative Tentacles
The Darts (US) have exploded onto the scene with a fiercely classic sound that invests deeply in late '60s garage, while incorporating tones of horror-punk and psych-rock. Live, they hurtle through their songs with the reckless abandon of a freight train about to run off the rails, while their calculated musicianship sets a seamless trajectory of grooving hooks and danceable boogie back beats. If Elvira and Wednesday Adams consumed the flesh of man, drank shots of snake venom, started a garage rock band, and played a sweet sixteen party for Rob Zombie's daughter, it would probably sound exactly like The Darts.
The band formed in early 2016, after vocalist / keyboardist Nicole Laurenne (The Love Me Nots, Motobunny, Zero Zero) and bassist Christina "Madcap" Nunez (The Love Me Nots, The Madcaps) decided, following the end of The Love Me Nots, to finally utilize the similarities in their creative ambitions to put together the all-girl band they had been talking about for years. Tapping some of their favorite players for the project, like drummer Rikki Styxx (The Two Tens, The Dollyrots, Thee Outta Sites), the band quickly wrote and self-released two debut EPs back-to-back. Soon after this, the singles "Running Through Your Lies" and"Revolution" found instant radio airplay. "Take What I Need" was selected by Sirius / XM's Underground Garage channel as "The Coolest Song In The World," while infamous horror author Stephen King personally tweeted about the band, professing his fandom to the world. Shortly thereafter, the band was signed to notable UK garage label Dirty Water Records, who, in 2017, released their first full length album, Me. Ow. , to international acclaim. The band, now joined by Meliza Jackson (decker. ) on guitar, following a nationwide tour in support of legendary UK punk band The Damned and a spot on the main stage at Punk Rock Bowling this upcoming May 2019, have unleashed their sophomore album, I Like You But Not Like That with Alternative Tentacles Records. Their most refined and alluring album to date, a true reflection of punk, psych, and horror in the modern era.

Apple Has An iPad Pro In The Works That Could Be A Hybrid Tablet-Laptop
Jay Yarow
APTim Cook with a road sign for Microsoft.
If there’s one new product from Apple that we feel most confident we’re going to see in 2014, it’s the iPad Pro.
We’re calling it the iPad Pro, but who knows what Apple will call it.
There have been a flurry of reports about Apple working on an iPad with a 12-inch screen. There’s also been a report about Apple developing a new laptop that will change laptops forever.
It seems like those are the same project. Evercore analyst Patrick Wang dropped this nugget in a note picked up at Barron’s yesterday:
Arriving in fall ’14, Apple goes Enterprise with an 12″ iPad. Powered by the A8 chip (perhaps 4C), this expands ARM’s reach and, once again, transforms the traditional notebook market as we know it. Expect a 2-1 hybrid — think iPad + MBA — similar to how most iPads are used in the workplace and in the same spirit of MSFT’s Surface. We discussed A7 in detail, the benefits of 64b, and why it makes sense in our note. Two obstacles: (1) Microsoft Office not just Office 365 and (2) local storage. This would hit Intel in an area of strength — enterprise NBs — and open up the monopoly to price competition, a common theme for Intel in 2014.
We’re intrigued by this notion of a hybrid from Apple.
For the past two years, CEO Tim Cook has been loudly dismissive of the Surface.
At Apple’s recent iPad event, Cook said, “Our competition is confused. They’re turning tablets into PCs and PCs into tablets. Who knows what they’re going to do next?”
In October 2012, he said, “it’s a fairly compromised, confusing product… I supposed you could design a car that flies and floats, but it wouldn’t do those things very well.”
In April 2012, he said, “”You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator,” but it won’t please anyone.
So, it would seem foolish to expect an Apple Surface. Maybe it’s just going to be a really slick laptop?

Paradox Launches Virtual Hiring Events to Help Employers Meet Candidates Anywhere, Anytime
The Scottsdale-based software company’s new product is powered by a simple, chat-based interface that makes it easy for employers and recruiting teams to interact with candidates at scale, without leaving the office.
Built around Paradox’s AI assistant Olivia, the new product enables employers to quickly and easily create a virtual event, and engage with people directly in a simple, chat-based environment. (Graphic: Business Wire)
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paradox, the powerfully simple conversational AI platform helping the world’s leading recruiting and HR teams do more with less, announced today the launch of Virtual Hiring Events. Built around Paradox’s AI assistant Olivia, the new product enables employers to quickly and easily create a virtual event, and engage with people directly in a simple, chat-based environment.
Development on Paradox’s new product accelerated after an increase in client requests brought on by travel restrictions and social distancing requirements. Paradox Chief Product Officer Adam Godson said the new challenges facing employers created an opportunity to generally reimagine the virtual event experience.
“Our clients are experiencing challenges they’ve never seen, which forced us to think about new ways we could add value,” Godson said. “While many companies have frozen hiring, many others are still actively hiring — and even the ones who aren’t still want to keep candidates engaged. Our goal was to find a unique way to support them — today and well into the future.”
Paradox’s solution focuses on a few key areas to make the experience as easy to manage as possible — for candidates and recruiting teams:
Create events in minutes — no forms or logins required: A new event can be created in minutes and immediately promoted to the company’s existing candidate pool via email or SMS campaigns. When candidates want to register, they simply chat with Olivia, Paradox’s AI assistant — no forms or logins necessary.
On-demand or real-time — and no user limits: Events can be offered on-demand or scheduled for a specific day and time, and there are no limits on the number of recruiters (or company users) who can participate in an event — ensuring the event is always staffed with enough people to create a positive candidate experience.
Auto-reminders and no long wait times: Olivia automatically sends reminders to candidates before the event, and candidates can cancel or reschedule with a simple text message. Once the event starts, candidates don’t have to wait in a lobby — they simply receive a text or email when a recruiter is ready.
AI assistant + human chat: Every candidate receives a warm welcome from Olivia and is seamlessly handed off to a recruiter for a 1:1 chat. Recruiters and hiring managers can toggle between chats to engage multiple people at once — ensuring no candidate is left awkwardly waiting for a response.
“As a company, our focus has always been on finding innovative ways to create value and positive impact for our clients — and that focus is more acute than ever,” said Aaron Matos, Paradox’s founder and CEO. “This new product helps us build on that mission and opens the door to a new way to work for the clients we serve.”
About Paradox
Launched in late 2016, Paradox was founded with the belief that recruiters, hiring managers, and talent leaders should spend their time with people, not software. Olivia, the company’s AI assistant, automates administrative work — like screening, scheduling, onboarding, employee communications, and more — to drive efficiency that gives teams hours back in their week, and enables everyone to do better work, faster.
Since its founding, Paradox has earned the trust of more than 200 clients globally, including some of the biggest brands in the world — CVS Health, Houston Methodist, McDonald’s, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Intel, Wendy’s, Aramark, and more. The company has won numerous awards, including Human Resource Executive’s Best HR Product of 2019, and was recently named one of Forbes’ Top 500 Startup Employers.

Inheritance tax - a summary
Inheritance tax is often called a voluntary tax in that, with planning, the payment of inheritance can be avoided. It is a tax levied on a person's estate when they die and on certain gifts made during an individual's lifetime. If you live in the London area we, at Aster & Trujillo, can provide taxation advice to help you minimise the potential charge to inheritance tax.
Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on a person’s estate when they die, and certain gifts made during an individual’s lifetime.
Gifts between UK-domiciled spouses during their lifetime or on death are exempt from IHT. In this factsheet spouse includes married couples and registered civil partners. Most gifts made more than seven years before death will escape tax. Therefore, if you plan in advance, gifts can be made tax-free and result in a substantial tax saving.
We give guidance below on some of the main opportunities for minimising the impact of the tax.
It is however important for you to seek specific professional advice appropriate to your personal circumstances.
Summary of IHT
Scope of the tax
When a person dies IHT becomes due on their estate. IHT can also fall due on some lifetime gifts but most are ignored providing the donor survives for seven years after the gift.
The rate of tax on death is 40% and 20% on lifetime transfers where chargeable. For 2020/21 the first £325,000 chargeable to IHT is at 0% and this is known as the nil rate band.
Residence nil rate band
An additional nil rate band is introduced for deaths on or after 6 April 2017 where an interest in a qualifying residence passes to direct descendants. The amount of relief is being phased in over four years. It was £150,000 for 2019/20 and is now £175,000 for 2020/21. For many married couples and registered civil partnerships (hereafter referred to as spouses in this factsheet) the relief is effectively doubled as each individual has a main nil rate band and each will also potentially benefit from the residence nil rate band.
The residence nil rate band can only be used in respect of one residential property which does not have to be the main family home but must at some point have been a residence of the deceased. Restrictions apply where estates (before reliefs) are in excess of £2 million.
Where a person died before 6 April 2017, their estate will not qualify for the relief. A surviving spouse may be entitled to an increase in the residence nil rate band if the spouse who died earlier has not used, or was not entitled to use, their full residence nil rate band. The calculations involved are potentially complex but the increase will often result in a doubling of the residence nil rate band for the surviving spouse.
The residence nil rate band may also be available when a person downsizes or ceases to own a home on or after 8 July 2015 where assets of an equivalent value, up to the value of the residence nil rate band, are passed on death to direct descendants.
A reduced rate of IHT applies where 10% or more of a deceased’s net estate (after deducting IHT exemptions, reliefs and the nil rate band) is left to charity. In those cases the 40% rate will be reduced to 36%.
IHT on lifetime gifts
Lifetime gifts fall into one of three categories:
a transfer to a company or a trust (except a disabled trust) is immediately chargeable
exempt gifts which will be ignored both when they are made and also on the subsequent death of the donor, eg gifts to charity
any other transfers will be potentially exempt transfers (PETs) and IHT is only due if the donor dies within seven years of making the gift. An alternative way of looking at this is that they are potentially chargeable until seven years has passed. The primary example of a PET is a gift to another individual.
IHT on death
The main IHT charge is likely to arise on death. IHT is charged on the value of the estate treated as beneficially owned by the deceased. This may include certain types of interest in trust property. Furthermore:
PETs made within seven years become chargeable
there may be an additional liability because of chargeable transfers (usually lifetime gifts to trusts) made within the previous seven years.
Much estate planning involves making lifetime transfers to utilise exemptions and reliefs or to benefit from a lower rate of tax on lifetime transfers.
However, careful consideration needs to be given to other factors. For example a gift that saves IHT may unnecessarily create a capital gains tax (CGT) liability. Furthermore the prospect of saving IHT should not be allowed to jeopardise the financial security of those involved.
Gifts to individuals during their lifetime
As these gifts are PETs rather than chargeable transfers when made, no tax at all is due if the donor survives for seven years. Even where a death occurs within seven years IHT may be saved as a result of the lifetime gifts because the charge is based on the value at the date of the gift and does not include any growth on value to date of death.
Nil rate band and seven year cumulation
Chargeable transfers (such as lifetime gifts to trusts) covered by the nil rate band can be made without incurring any IHT liability. Once seven years have elapsed between chargeable transfers an earlier transfer is no longer taken into account in determining IHT on subsequent transfers. Therefore every seven years a full nil rate band will be available to make lifetime chargeable transfers.
Transferable nil rate band
It is possible for spouses and civil partners to transfer the nil rate band unused on the first death to the surviving spouse for use on the death of the surviving spouse/partner. On that second death, their estate will be able to use their own nil rate band and in addition the same proportion of a second nil rate band that corresponds to the proportion unused on the first death. This allows the possibility of doubling the nil rate band available on the second death. This arrangement can apply where the second death happens after 9 October 2007 irrespective of the date of the first death.
Annual exemption
An amount of £3,000 per annum may be given by an individual without an IHT charge. Any unused annual exemption may be carried forward, one year only, for use in the tax year that immediately follows.
Gifts between spouses
Gifts between spouses are generally exempt, if both are either UK or non UK domiciled. It may be desirable to use the spouse exemption to transfer assets to ensure that both spouses can make full use of lifetime exemptions, the nil rate band and PETs. Special rules apply where only one spouse has a UK domicile.
Gifts to individuals not exceeding £250 in total per tax year per recipient are exempt. The exemption cannot be used to cover part of a larger gift.
Normal expenditure out of income
Gifts which are made out of income which are typical and habitual and do not result in a fall in the standard of living of the donor are exempt. Payments under deed of covenant and the payment of annual premiums on life insurance policies would usually fall within this exemption.
A gift for family maintenance does not give rise to an IHT charge. This would include the transfer of property made on divorce under a court order, gifts for the education of children or maintenance of a dependent relative.
Gifts in consideration of marriage are exempt up to £5,000 if made by a parent with lower limits for other donors.
Gifts to charities
Gifts to registered charities are exempt provided that the gift becomes the property of the charity or is held for charitable purposes.
Business property relief (BPR)
When ‘business property’ is transferred there is a percentage reduction in the value of the transfer. Often this provides full relief. In cases where full relief is available there is little incentive, from a tax point of view, to transfer such assets in lifetime. Additionally no CGT will be payable where the asset is included in the estate on death. Professional advice should be sought to determine whether you have qualifying business property.
Agricultural property relief (APR)
APR is similar to BPR in that it reduces the value of the transfer but it may not give full relief on the value. It is available on the transfer of agricultural property so long as various conditions are met.
Use of trusts
Trusts can provide an effective means of transferring assets out of an estate whilst still allowing flexibility in the ultimate destination and/or permitting the donor to retain some control over the assets. Provided that the donor does not obtain any benefit or enjoyment from the trust, the property is removed from the estate.
We can advise you on whether a trust is suitable for your circumstances and the types of trust arrangements available.
Life assurance arrangements can be used as a means of removing value from an estate and also as a method of funding IHT liabilities.
A policy can also be arranged to cover IHT due on death. It is particularly useful in providing funds to meet an IHT liability where the assets are not easily realised, eg family company shares.
Complexity - is your Will up to date?
Individuals now have three nil rate bands to consider. The standard nil rate band has been available for many years. In 2007 the ability to utilise the unused nil rate band of a deceased spouse was introduced which may enable surviving spouses to have a nil rate band of up to £650,000.
From 6 April 2020 some surviving spouses also have up to an additional £350,000 in respect of the residence nil rate band to arrive at a total nil rate band of £1 million. However this will only be achieved by careful planning and, in some cases, it may be better for the first deceased spouse to gift some assets to the next generation and use up some or all of the available nil rate bands.
For many individuals, the residence nil rate band will be important but individuals will need to revisit their wills to ensure that the relief will be available and efficiently utilised.
Whilst some general tips can be made about IHT planning it is always necessary to tailor the strategy to fit your situation.
Any plan must take account of your circumstances and aspirations. The need to ensure your financial security (and your family's) cannot be ignored. If you propose to make gifts the interaction of IHT with other taxes needs to be considered carefully.
However there can be scope for substantial savings which may be missed unless professional advice is sought as to the appropriate course of action.

Fort Sam Houston begins fueling ‘Soldier Athletes’
AUSA Staff
Since its inception the Army has prided itself on transforming everyday civilians into "Army Strong Soldiers." Now it seeks to transform its soldiers into something more: "Soldier Athletes."Faced with the intense physical demands of ongoing deployments and the declining levels of fitness of new recruits, the Army has launched a series of initiatives to train soldiers to not only exercise like an athlete, but to eat like one as well.These initiatives have already changed how soldiers at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, train. Soon they will change how they eat.The concept of "Soldier Athlete" started with the development of a new scientifically based physical training regimen known as physical readiness training, or PRT.The PRT provides exercise; drills and activities aligned to successful performance of warrior tasks and battle drills and designed to develop soldiers’ strength, endurance and mobility while preventing injuries.The new PRT gives initial entry training commanders the ability to not only safely develop fitness in young soldiers, but also enhance the performance of those already in the formation.To further the success of the PRT, the Army has placed strength coaches and physical fitness professionals at each of its basic training locations to assist the cadre in the training efforts.So far, results are showing that the new program is contributing to an increase in physical fitness test scores and a significant reduction in injuries.Transforming physical fitness teaches soldiers to train like an athlete; "Soldier Fueling" teaches them how to eat like one.The Army needed to address the entire problem. Exercise only goes so far. The Army needed to address poor dietary habits that hindered the proper development of bones and muscles and decrease performance levels.Soldier Fueling makes significant changes to preparation techniques and choices at post dining facilities.The traditional nutritional information cards will still be displayed, but will now be accompanied by a color code which corresponds to the food’s nutritional value.The green category consists of high performance high nutrient foods and should be chosen frequently.Amber category foods should be chosen less frequently because of higher calorie content and are lower in vitamins and minerals.Red category foods are highest in calories, lowest in vitamins and minerals and soldiers should limit intake.Under the mantra of "Go for Green," soldiers are encouraged to pick healthier food choices.Understanding dietary labels and making good choices as they pass through a serving line can be very difficult.Under Soldier Fueling, the dietitians have done all the work. All the soldier has to do is understand the basic definitions of the color code and "Go for Green."Realizing that such dramatic shifts in the menu could result in a pseudo-withdrawal to soldiers not accustomed to healthier eating habits, the Soldier Fueling menu makes a one-day departure every weekend from its stringent standards to serve burgers, fries, desserts and other less healthy options.On March 1, the Slagel Dining Facility at Fort Sam Houston, which serves all soldiers undergoing combat medic training, fully implemented Soldier Fueling.All other dining facilities, to include Camp Bullis, will begin converting in mid-March, by first converting all main lines.Their short-order and take-out lines will remain open and continue to serve their traditional menu until a Soldier Fueling short-order menu is developed and implemented.It is expected that by June, all dining facilities will have fully implemented Soldier Fueling.While Soldier Fueling is an Army initiative, the change will affect the ever-growing number of airmen and sailors arriving daily for training at the Medical Education and Training Campus.From the onset, both Air Force and Navy commanders have shown great enthusiasm for the proposed changes and see it as an opportunity to shift the dietary habits of their own people.Fort Sam Houston is leading the way toward healthier lifestyles as a tri-service initiative.It’s time to "Go For Green."

Administrative investigation sustains management fault in handling of city payroll tax problem
By Staff | Jun 3, 2020
An administrative investigation into the city of Cape Coral’s Finance Department ordered in the wake of a payroll payment snafu that led to more than $420,000 in IRS fines and penalties has sustained performance-related allegations against three department managers, including the department’s director.
The internal affairs/ administrative report ordered by City Manager John Szerlag and conducted within the Cape Coral Police Department, sustained five of six city personnel rules and regulations allegations for which Finance Services Director Victoria Bateman was investigated, one of six allegations for Deputy Financial Services Director Monte Vavra, and four of six for Senior Accounting Manager Laura Tanner.
The investigation looked at a half dozen possible policy violations: Gross neglect of duty or specific serious failure to perform assigned duties; insubordination; failure or refusal to perform tasks properly assigned by any person in authority; violation of department work rules or operating procedures; actions or conduct detrimental to the interests of the city; and any other properly substantiated cause which adversely affects the city.
The report completed May 11 and released Friday in response to a public records request, did not sustain the allegation that any of the three had violated department work rules or operating procedures. The investigation found that the city lacks formal internal operating procedures or policies related directly to the filing of the various forms and biweekly payroll tax payments or required actions to be taken to respond to IRS letters or notices.
The administrative investigation sustained the remaining five allegations against Bateman — Gross neglect of duty or specific serious failure to perform assigned duties; insubordination; failure or refusal to perform tasks properly assigned by any person in authority; actions or conduct detrimental to the interests of the city, and any other properly substantiated cause which adversely affects the city.
The report sustained one allegation of the six against Vavra — Actions or conduct detrimental to the interests of the city. The remaining allegations were not sustained.
The findings sustained four of the six allegations against Tanner — Gross neglect of duty or specific serious failure to perform assigned duties; failure or refusal to perform tasks properly assigned by any person in authority; actions or conduct detrimental to the interests of the city and any other properly substantiated cause which adversely affects the city. The allegation of insubordination was not sustained.
As of Monday afternoon, Bateman and Vavra remained suspended with pay. Tanner submitted a letter of resignation Monday effective June 15, city officials said via email.
Bateman, who earns approximately $149,491 per year, was placed on administrative leave with pay on Nov. 22. Her status changed to suspended with pay on Dec. 9, the same day Vavra, who earns $130,250 per year, and Tanner, who earns $96,138 annually, also were placed on paid suspension. The notice of suspension letters advised the employees to refrain from discussing city business during the course of the investigation, the report states.
Each of the three received a pre-disciplinary notice on May 22 as a result of the report and each has requested a pre-disciplinary hearing as per the city’s personnel policy.
Neither Tanner nor Vavra could be reached for comment.
Bateman released a statement through her attorney, Benjamin H. Yormak, saying she followed proper protocol upon becoming aware of the IRS issue late last year and that she had reported the matter to her supervisor, Szerlag, on a timely basis.
“In mid-September 2019 when I learned that the Payroll Supervisor was making mistakes in her IRS reporting, I took immediate action to correct the problems,” Bateman stated, in part. “I gathered a team together to address the IRS 941 issues and we addressed the penalties. My role as a top level manager is to oversee the Finance Department and ensure things get done. However, my role is not to duplicate the calculations of lower level staff, but to rise to the occasion when problems are identified.”
In her statement Bateman said she reported the IRS issue to Szerlag, starting Oct. 8, and she also reiterated her position that the actions taken by the city administration are retaliatory and stem from unrelated interdepartmental disagreements that rose to the level of harassment after she flagged certain projects, processes and cost projections.
The allegations, which Bateman previously levied against Szerlag and the city’s contract business manager and former police chief, Jay Murphy, were brought to Council in January after Bateman wrote a letter of complaint to the mayor and council members. As city manager, Szerlag reports to Council.
Council hired Brown Law & Consulting to investigate the allegations in Bateman’s letter and also asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for a criminal review. The FDLE report has been completed and has been handed off to an out-of-circuit State Attorney’s Office where, city officials said Wednesday, it remains under review.
Deborah C. Brown concluded in her summation of the report dated April 14 that “the evidence does not support a conclusion” that Szerlag retaliated against Bateman by launching an investigation into the problem within her department nor by delaying his approval for federally mandated medical leave time by not signing her paperwork for two days. Brown also concluded that the “evidence did not support” any finding that Murphy’s actions related to an administrative proposal to outsource golf course maintenance, or his involvement related to the city’s employee health clinic, were improper.

Ford launches Driving Skills for Life program in Australia
Ford has launched its 2016 Driving Skills for Life program, which aims to address one of the leading causes of death for young Australians - road tragedies.
Kicking off in Melbourne over the weekend before heading to Geelong, Canberra and Sydney over the next four weeks, the Ford's Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) aims to reach over 1000 young Australians and their parents.
The program will focus on four key areas - hazard recognition, vehicle handling, distracted and impaired driving, space and speed management - and has been specifically designed to address each of these through hands-on driver training.
Ex-Geelong Cats AFL star and father of four, Billy Brownless, has also been signed as the official spokesperson of the program.
DSFL will also reinforce with parents the key role they play in teaching their kids to drive.
One of the young people taking part in the training at the program's launch, motorbike rider Paul Dickinson (below), said that the program has helped him to understand the importance of modern safety systems.
Speaking with CarAdvice at the launch, Dickinson said: "It's very educational to see just what would happen with all these new safety features they have nowadays."
"I ride a bike that has drum brakes, and personally it's on my wish list to get a bike that's going to have those features that will stop me from hurting myself."
Meanwhile, P-plate driver Carla Lotito, said being able to experience safety aids in a controlled environment gives her some piece of mind when driving alone, and has given her a better understanding of what her own Ford Fiesta can do to protect her on the road.
"Going on the road by yourself can be really intimidating, scary sometimes," she said.
"It's good experience to get now rather than an actual real-life situation where it's a hazard to you and other people on the road."
"I actually have a Ford Fiesta, I've got pretty much the exact same car (as those used in the program), so I know that it does have those features."
First established in 2003, the Ford Driving Skills for Life program is publicly available for the first time this year.
The ticketed events offer a total of 250 free spots for participants in each city, available at www.forddsfl.com.au.
Ford Driving Skills for Life has already taken place in Melbourne (11-13 November) and will now head to Geelong (25-27 November) before Canberra (2-4 December) and Sydney (9-11 December).

This is a 1966 Jensen Nova, a Michelotti designed one-off Vignale fibreglass body.
It is a re-bodied Jensen Interceptor that was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1967.
1965 saw Vignale's first contact with the firm which was to give him one of his strongest connections with the British market. The management at Jensen was split over the replacement model for their C-V8, but it was eventually agreed that the new car should be styled and built in Italy. Design and development manager Kevin Beattie visited Ghia, Superleggera Touring and Vignale, and asked each to submit designs for the new car.
Ghia were heavily involved with Chrysler at this time, and demanded a fee to divert their efforts to Jensen. Vignale produced a rather conventional-looking design - similar to Maserati Mexico which he had introduced at the 1965 Turin motor show, and Jensen were looking for a more dramatic treatment. This came from Touring, and Jensen liked it, but the Milan firm was in such a financial pickle that Jensen had no confidence in its ability to produce the car.
Jensen bought the design outright, removed Touring's marks from the drawings, put Jensen's name on them, and took them along to Vignale as representing the sort of thing they had in mind. Even if Alfredo Vignale knew or guessed that Touring was the originator he said nothing, being anxious to secure the order for final styling and building. With the deal signed and the tooling arranged it took Vignale only four months to produce a prototype car combining the proven C-V8 chassis and running gear and the new body. Within a further six months the first Italian-bodied, American-engined, British-built Jensen Interceptor was assembled at West Bromwich - one of the fastest international model operations then on record.
Vignale's part in it did not last long, however. By October 1966, when two or three trimmed and painted Interceptor bodies were already arriving from Turin each week, Jensen had already decided that the finish was not what they wanted, and that the Vignale arrangement was financially unsound and too long-range for comfort and logic. Vignale was bought off, and the jigs and press tools transferred to Britain. Jensen later admitted, however, that it took their own craftsmen a long time to match the flexibility and quality of work of the Italians.
Vignale meanwhile maintained his styling name with design studies. Notwithstanding the untimely loss of the Jensen manufacturing contract he showed a very elegant Interceptor-based two-seater coupe design, the Nova, at the 1967 Geneva motor show.

Catholic Family Fun by Sarah A. Reinhard -- Catholic Book Spotlight
May 2, 2012 1:30:45 PM | by Lisa M. Hendey
We help share the good news about books almost every day here at CatholicMom.com, but rarely have I been so happy about spreading the word on a new release. Perhaps that's because the author I'm featuring today, Sarah A. Reinhard, is such a dear friend and such an important part of our family here at the website.
Catholic Family Fun: A Guide for the Adventurous, Overwhelmed, Creative or Clueless is a terrific resource for any family. When asked to write an endorsement of Sarah's book, I shared:
Catholic Family Fun is guaranteed to deliver smiles to your family members’ faces, great memories to their hearts, and a love of faith to their souls. Sarah Reinhard has designed the perfect resource for today’s busy families who desire to share Catholic traditions in meaningful, creative, and yet practical ways. Packed with crafts, games, stories, special meals, and endless ideas for bringing the faith to life in any home, Catholic Family Fun is the perfect gift for your domestic church. Sarah’s joy is infectious and this treasure is sure to draw your family closer to each other and to Christ.
Sarah's brand and faith and fun is the type I want to foster and encourage in my own home. It's the kind that delights in things like having a water family water fight and seeing the connection to the symbolism of water in our faith, or playing pantomime and acting out your favorite bible scene. Sarah's brand of family fun bakes cookies shaped like St. Lucy's eyes and makes a date for teatime with God.
Passing along the gift of our faith to our children is the most serious responsibility you and I will bear in our Domestic Church. I learned from my own parents that catechetical lessons are learned in many venues -- in Church, yes -- but also on camping trips, at the beach, and even in the back seat of the family station wagon. With Catholic Family Fun, Sarah offers tons of terrific ideas to get your family started with this type of perspective. Each activity she has listed is not only fun, but also easy to pull off (which is important!), and also includes a "faith angle" section to help you see the relationship of the activity to our faith. Your children of any age will love Sarah's activities, and you'll learn along the way too. Another beauty of Sarah's book is that it gives a great jumping off point to share your faith with friends and other family members who may not know the joy of Christ in their lives. It's also a perfect resource for teachers and catechists looking for fun and creative ideas to use in their classrooms.
Sarah is giving our CatholicMom.com readers yet another gift: the chance for you to help spread the word about Catholic Family Fun and to win a brand new Kindle Touch in the process. Click here to learn about and enter that giveaway.
As we approach the more relaxed and unschedule months of Spring and Summer, I encourage you to add Catholic Family Fun: A Guide for the Adventurous, Overwhelmed, Creative or Clueless to your family library. But don't leave this book sitting on a shelf. It's one that deserves a permanent spot on the kitchen counter. If used properly, it will probably be graced with fingerpaint smudges, muddy spots, and cookie dough. I plan to write the dates in our book when we do Sarah's recommended activities, and to include a few notes on what we learned and special memories of the fun we enjoyed.
Just like my friendship with Sarah has done for me, Catholic Family Fun is destined to bring you boatloads of smiles and to draw your hearts closer to Christ.

Prior to commencing law school, Jordan raised five children on a farm in central Alberta. Although initially Jordan started practising in the areas of civil litigation and real estate, over time she began to focus exclusively in the area of family law.
Jordan finds that each family law situation presents a challenge to find a resolution that will permit the families to move forward with their lives with the least amount of conflict as possible. Jordan looks forward to working with family law clients to find a solution that best fits each client’s unique situation.
Jordan has had success at all levels of Court in Alberta. Although it will never be her first choice to take a matter to Court, Jordan realizes that in some situations clients are left with no recourse but to seek the Courts involvement. Jordan sees herself as a tough, but reasonable lawyer who is not afraid of taking on difficult cases.
That said, Jordan prefers to work with clients through negotiation to try and resolve matters as in family law, going to Court often escalates a matter and leaves scars on the parties and on the children that last a lifetime. She finds that often when the clients “buy in” to the solution, the resulting settlement is more secure and less likely to be questioned or fought in the future.
In her free time, Jordan loves to travel with her husband and to spend time with her five children, two stepchildren and sixteen grandchildren (and two corgis). Jordan enjoys outdoor recreation including hiking, biking and pickleball with her family and friends.

Case Studies - See how we help our clients reach their growth goals
Case Study: Anti-Money Laundering Firm Goes All In, Generates Phenomenal Growth
“We’ve grown this company in the last two years from 450 to 1,000 FTE. We couldn’t have achieved that without the assistance from Chris Wallner and Chief Outsiders.”
Frank Ewing, CEO, AML RightSource
AML RightSource (AMLRS) provides anti-money laundering and financial crimes compliance solutions to financial institutions. In 2018, leadership sought outside marketing expertise to help tell the company’s great story. At the urging of its private equity partner, CEO Frank Ewing engaged Chief Outsiders CMO Chris Wallner to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy and plan. Going all in with the plan, the company now enjoys rapid growth supported by a 10-fold increase in leads generated and new internal marketing leadership and infrastructure recommended by Wallner.
Business Background
In 2004, Frank Ewing joined the forerunner to AMLRS as employee #1. Today, Ewing is CEO and AMLRS is the leading firm solely focused on providing anti-money laundering, Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and financial crimes compliance solutions to bank and non-bank financial institutions that range in size from $100 million in assets to over $1 trillion.
The company is highly regarded by its client base but not well known outside. While it is the largest single provider in the space, it competes with even larger and better-known companies. More than half the firm is made up of employees with advanced degrees, including JDs and CPAs, a lot of smart, capable people.
Trouble Putting the Pieces Together
AMLRS marketing mostly consisted of a website, trade shows and conferences. In 2018, two weeks prior to the launch of a new website, leadership realized it lacked the impact they desired.
“We knew we had this really great growth business,” related Ewing. “We knew we had this fantastic client base and a wonderful story to tell. We were just having trouble putting all those pieces together.”
AMLRS needed a more comprehensive, wholistic marketing strategy and plan, and someone to oversee its execution. Their PE firm recommended that they engage a Chief Outsiders fractional CMO. “What was really obvious from the first phone call was that their model was a lot like ours,” related Ewing.
After looking at multiple candidates, Ewing engaged Chris Wallner based on his background in financial services and his experience with compliance at the executive level and below. “A key factor was that I came from their space,” stated Wallner.
Wallner began the engagement collaborating on-site but primarily worked remotely from May to November 2018. “I had the benefit of a very capable project manager for marketing, Alex Even,” related Wallner. “She and I worked with leadership to gather customer insights, develop strategy, get approvals and lay out the plan.”
Business challenges identified:
Resources, bandwidth and expertise to build out a marketing strategy and go-to-market plan to strengthen the brand and grow.
The lack of infrastructure to target and nurture prospects, generate demand, track results and optimize marketing and sales.
A need for a comprehensive account-based marketing and data driven approach to confirm success.
Wallner recommended a two-phase engagement with an initial three-month period to uncover insights and develop positioning, messaging and strategy. Phase 2 included the creation of a go-to-market plan, building marketing infrastructure and enabling execution.
“Chris came in and didn’t fall into that typical marketing trap and tell us how it was going to be,” related Ewing. “He analyzed our company.”
Getting the Story Out
AMLRS lacked a mechanism to distribute great content. They wanted to create the marketing infrastructure necessary to engage prospects with best practices.
“AMLRS is a great company,” explained Wallner. “They are the biggest in the industry, but nobody knew that outside of customers. They had great customer satisfaction with a phenomenal net promoter score (NPS) of 69! It was really about getting the story out.”
With the benefit of the Chief Outsiders tribe to validate the strategy, Wallner recommended that AMLRS invest more in inbound marketing, hire a marketing leader and engage an agency to handle routine marketing, SEO, and campaigns.
“Combining the best of internal and external marketing resources was the right thing to do,” related Wallner. “It wasn’t what Frank, the CEO, originally expected, but I owed it to him to provide a recommendation truly supporting the company’s strong growth plans and therefore was scalable.”
After some deliberation, Ewing went all in, putting himself and company resources 100% behind the plan. “Frank is a great listener who truly wants to understand client needs,” related Wallner. “Once he trusted me and where Chief Outsiders was headed, it allowed us to have tough conversations about marketing.”
“He put together and worked with us to create a strategic plan and strategic road map,” added Ewing. “He helped us identify and recruit a really strong internal marketing candidate as well who is now a full-time hire.”
Executing the Plan
In July, the team re-designed and launched the site. They also validated and configured the marketing automation system that had not been fully deployed.
“We commercialized the website, highlighting the core messages of who we are, superior value, and proven and effective,” related Wallner. “The plan was to do a half-dozen things really well. Zero in on those things we can track and do more of those based on results.”
Wallner also developed messaging to answer some very important questions to leaders of financial institutions who sought to satisfy regulators such as, “How do I know I need an expert?” and, “When do I need to call?”
Later in the engagement, much of the time was spent building out and enabling the marketing department. “The whole time that Chris was helping us enact this strategy and plan, you could tell that it was how do I make myself irrelevant? How do I allow this company stand on its own two feet?” explained Ewing.
Growth Results
All-in Drives Results
Each contact that results in a closed deal has a very high value to AMLRS. Over 12 months, the number of marketing generated new contacts increased 10 fold to 100+ per month. Monthly website visitors and LinkedIn followers more than tripled with a corresponding increase in search engine page rankings.
In December, AMLRS closed its first deal driven by the new marketing plan. Thought leadership emails on critical AML/BSA topics connected with the right people in the prospect organization. That stimulated a conversation that resulted in the signing of a major client.
Ewing carried out 100% of what was recommended. “I commented to him, ‘The success that you’ve seen from marketing is a testament to the fact that you went all in. You signed up for a strategic, comprehensive marketing growth plan that delivered,’” said Wallner. “The great results are from the company commitment to the strategies and seeing the plan through!”
Scalable Marketing
AMLRS’s new Marketing Manager is now leading the marketing effort and managing KPIs together with the outside agency. Tracking performance is key to scaling tactics that have the highest potential and not diluting the effort on those that don’t perform.
“We wanted the marketing infrastructure to be truly scalable,” explained Wallner. “Having an agency that could scale with them allows AMLRS to fully leverage the Marketing Manager.”
One year on, Wallner still gets calls from Ewing and others on the leadership team for outside help on sensitive initiatives. “It’s wonderful to be counted on in that way,” concluded Wallner. “There is a level of trust forged through some big decisions. Every business relationship has its challenges, but when the CEO decided, he went all in and the results speak for themselves.”
“The experience with Chris and Chief Outsiders was fantastic!” confirmed Ewing. “I would recommend them to anybody because they really have the answers. They help you dig in, work with your team to find practical solutions to problems real businesses face day in and day out.”
Topics: Financial Services
Featured Chief Outsider
Chris Wallner
With a track record of major wins in the financial industry, accomplished product management, development and e-commerce executive Chris Wallner is now dispensing executive-level marketing insights as a member of Chief Outsiders. Wallner has previously notched C-level marketing roles for banking titans Wells Fargo and Bank of America, and for internet startup iOwn.com. Most recently, Chris led product management, strategic partnerships and digital channels at Rabobank, a specialty, California-based agricultural bank with $15 billion in deposits. Under his command, Rabobank recorded J.D. Power benchmarks in customer satisfaction for five consecutive years.

Children’s Minnesota Stories
We all can play a part in building community, building hope
Written by Dex Tuttle
Dex Tuttle has been the injury prevention program coordinator at Children’s since August 2013.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This month and throughout the year, Children’s Minnesota encourages all individuals and organizations to play a role in making your community a better place for children and families. By ensuring that parents and caregivers have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to care for their children, we can help prevent child abuse and neglect by making meaningful connections with children, youth and families in our communities.
Research shows that protective factors are present in healthy families. Promoting these factors is among the most effective ways to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. They are:
Nurturing and attachment
Knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development
Parental resilience
Concrete supports for parents
Social and emotional competence of children
April is a time to celebrate the important role that communities play in protecting children and strengthening families. Everyone’s participation is critical. Focusing on ways to connect with families is the best thing our community can do to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.
To get involved, please view the “Building Community, Building Hope” resource guide, designed for service providers who work throughout the community to strengthen families. It is available online here.

Spider-Man E3 2018 Hands-On Preview
J. Jonah Wants More Gameplay of Spider-Man, Stat
Cole Watson
Ever since his friendly neighbourhood debut in Amazing Fantasy #15, Spider-Man quickly became one of the most iconic characters in comics. That popularity continues to this day in all forms of media from TV shows to books and even movies.
Yet, the Web Crawler hasn’t seemed to hit his stride in video games. While 2000’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, were fantastic games for their time, there were always aspects of these games that didn’t gel with me as a player. That all changed during my brief time with Insomniac’s soon to be released PlayStation 4 exclusive, Spider-Man.
Spider-Man – E3 2018 Preview Images courtesy of Sony
Right from the beginning, the E3 2018 demo of Spider-Man perfectly set the tone for players by immediately throwing them into a web-swinging segment, introducing us to the smoothness and speed of the movement mechanics. I could get to wherever I needed to go just by casually swinging around from building to building, but the true joy that I experienced while exploring the concrete jungle of Marvel’s fictional New York was how I was able to build up momentum by jumping off at the end of the swing, web zipping at just the right time to turn a hard corner, and launching myself off the perches of rooftops. Compared to Spider-Man 2, Insomniac’s version of the open-world movement is much faster and has a unique rhythm to it, but it’s elevated even further when you feast your eyes on how Spider-Man smoothly reacts to each piece of the environment with a rich variety of acrobatic animations.
While it’s becoming increasingly more common for melee-oriented action titles to adopt the Batman: Arkham Asylum style of combat, Spider-Man adds its own spin on the formula to make it a more refreshing gameplay experience. At its most basic level, players will be able to defeat waves of goons by simply punching their way to victory and instinctually dodging away whenever the visual prompt for spider-sense appears. The next layer to the combat is Spider-Man’s variety of webs. Instantly zip to an enemy to continue a combo, web up a gun-wielding enemy until he’s immobile, or even introduce some faces to the welcome embrace of hard concrete by using a trip wire to knock them out. All the while, players can interact with the environmental hazards around them to get the drop on unsuspecting foes. The last piece of the pie is the focus meter. By building up combos and using gadgets in tandem, players build up the focus meter and can use it in a variety of ways, including instant takedowns, a special attack unique to each suit in the game, or when you’re in a pinch, even heal yourself mid-combat.
The final trial of the demo was to defeat everyone’s favourite punching bag, Shocker. Encased in an electric field, players had to combine both elements of movement and combat together to overcome the threat. Swing out of the way when spider-sense prompts his attack, aim his blasts toward the pillars to drop debris, and finally launch that debris at him before punching his tender mug black and blue. It was a simple boss battle, but an effective one that brought the two core gameplay systems together in an enjoyable way with plenty of cinematic segments in-between.
Insomniac is crafting the definitive web-slinging experience in their studio for every fan of Spider-Man to enjoy and this playable demo really sold me on their creative vision for the gameplay. Despite its mere 15-minute playtime, I made sure to work out my on-floor schedule to play the Spider-Man demo another two times after. I was just that obsessed with getting more hands-on time. Alas, even after a new seven-minute gameplay segment was showcased at Sony’s “artistic” presser, I’m still hungry for more story details and how Peter Parker’s latest journey will play out when it releases exclusively on PlayStation 4 on September 7.

Snowdon Conquered
Congratulations to Bear, Dog, Lee, Tom, Knuckey, Sam, Cazza, Will, Jake, Badger, Coady, Beau, Ally, Buscy, Elliott and most importantly Archie, for completing the Snowdon Push yesterday.
Report by A Knuckey Esq.
CPRFC pulled together once again in the closed season for non selfish reasons to raise money for the charity BACK UP by pulling a disabled friend up Mount Snowdon in a wheel chair.
With a mini bus filled with 14 strong(ish) men, 10 tents, 14 sleeping bags, 14 wet suits, 15KG of sandwiches, 28ltrs of water, 1 bottle of sambucca, 60 fosters, 24 strongbow and 32 stella, we set off with high hopes of being completely wasted upon arrival. Nine hours later we arrived at a wet campsite, set up the tents and then headed to the closest pub. (For team bonding reasons). We finally laid our heads around 2am., waking at 6.30 ready to make our way to the bottom of Snowdon. After some questionable WELSH sausage
rolls we attacked the mountain in true CP style. Fast, with no actual plan. After reaching the top of the very steep road that leads you to the bottom and start of the mountain which is now known as Elliot Hill (Elliot decided that enough was enough and set up camp at the bottom ready for our return).
Over the next 2 hours everyone put in a severe shift. None of us could even begin to imagine the struggle or the effort that we were about to put in. The chair was fixed with scaffold poles and ropes allowing all hands on deck. Parts of the mountain were almost vertical and extremely dangerous. The whole team were vocal, needing to talk about different ideas and plans to overcome some severe obstacles. We reached the top of the mountain in 2 and a half hours (the fastest out of 11 teams). We decided that the views were too spectacular for an immediate descent. We soaked up the sun, enjoyed the views and congratulated each other on such a great team effort.
We finally decided that the cold was too much and that we needed to get back under the sun to warm up. (its a very high mountain). We spent the next 2 and a half hours dragging the wheelchair back down- finding it harder coming down than going up. At certain points it was a case of all hold the wheelchair and hope we will eventually stop sliding down. WE also found out that our chair was definitely not designed for coming down. We finally reached the bottom of the mountain and were greeted at the top of Elliot Hill by Elliot himself still catching his breath from 5 hours ago. JOB DONE.
We then returned to the campsite (after a stop off at Tesco for some much needed rehydration) ready to party till we dropped. For the next 4 hours we talked about how this was a ONCE in a lifetime experience and that how a simple text message during the summer was enough to keep the team together. THEN came the CPRFC spirit, we were now deciding, on what fancy dress, how to design a better wheel chair and how to get there so everyone can drink – hopefully turning this into an annual club event.
We continued to drink deep into the night, taking the party by storm, keeping it as lively as possible. We also started a game of musical chairs through the middle of the marquee getting everyone involved.
To summarise. The weekend was so much harder and so much more enjoyable than anybody would have thought. We will be putting in a team again next year, hopefully even 2. We raised just over £4000 and had a team bonding weekend that was second to none. So the weekend was a massive success. A huge thank you goes out to Rob Saunderson for arranging everything.

Found this pic, mashing spuds in VP tie ahead of lunch at @CPRFC in February. It seems so long ago that we could watch rugby and host guests from the clubs across the SE who we love (and love to hate). I can't wait to get back to club rugby and to drink a pint with mates.
Doug Hursey is to be next @KentRugby President from July. Until then he will be Senior VP. This is a massive honour to Doug and to the club and is a reflection of all he has done for Charlton Park. But club members must not to let it go to his head. He’s not the Messiah…

Sony Cloud-Based TV Service Is Not Make.Believe, It’s Real
Emily Coyle
The CES 2014 beat goes on, as major companies and industry professionals from all over the globe continue to unveil their newest products in Las Vegas this week. So far, we’ve seen sneak peaks of many new tech products, several of which revolve around smartphones and wearable tech devices, but one tech sector that has taken center stage this year is television technology.
Many of the current dominators in the field have already unveiled their TV advances, but one newer player made a major announcement on Tuesday, making the market for smart(er) TVs that much more crowded. According to Gigaom, Sony (NYSE:SNE) Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House took the stage Tuesday during Sony’s CES keynote and announced that the company plans to become a pay TV provider of its own and offer its U.S. customers a cloud-based TV service with live TV and cloud DVR functionality.
Rumors of a Sony pay-TV service have swirled for months now, especially after the company reportedly secured its deal with Viacom (NYSE:VIA) in August, but Tuesday marked the first time Sony has confirmed its efforts to make its mark in the TV world. Sony President and CEO Kaz Hirai said to Gigaom that the TV is part of the company’s plan to become “a single source of entertainment.”
Gigaom reports that House told onlookers in Vegas that Sony’s new TV service will eventually stream live and recorded programming to TVs, game consoles, and mobile devices, and subscribers won’t need to invest in any additional set-top boxes to enjoy its content. With Sony’s programs, consumers will have access to live and on-demand content from which they can search, and the company plans to start testing the service in the U.S. later this year.
It is interesting that it was Sony that took the stage on Tuesday to make its big TV announcement, because until halfway through 2013, many thought that Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) would be the one revealing big television plans this year. The Santa Clara, California-based tech giant starting making promises about an Intel Web-TV service in February, with a goal to have it up and running by the end of last year. However, those plans fell through in the fall, and now Intel is out. Sony is evidently in.
It is still unclear when Sony’s cloud-based TV service will launch, but House promised on Tuesday that more plans will be revealed soon.

European Stocks to Watch: Nordex
Published Mon, Aug 27 20077:24 AM EDT Updated Fri, Sep 13 20134:33 PM EDT
Shares of Germany's Nordex surged 14% at the European open on continued speculation its two main shareholders, Goldman Sachs and CMP Capital Management Partners, were planning to sell their stakes in the wind-turbine maker.
The stock dramatically reversed direction, however, falling 3% into the red, on possible profit taking. It eventually bounced back into positive territory with a 0.5% gain in midmorning trading.
Shareholders have received at least three attractive offers, according to Reuters, and the sale of the stake appears likely within the year.
Alstom (1.9% higher) Shares of the French engineering group gained on news it won two power plant contracts worth a combined 1.85 billion euros ($2.51 billion).
Unibail Rodamco (1.2% lower) The French-Dutch property group lost ground despite posting strong half-year results and higher-than-expected property valuations. But shares have risen recently on expectation of solid numbers.

No long US airline delays at close of summer
SAMANTHA BOMKAMP, AP Travel Industry Writer
NEW YORK -- U.S. airlines closed the summer travel season without any lengthy tarmac delays in August, the government said Thursday, a sharp reversal from a month earlier.
There were more long delays in July on airport tarmacs than in the previous eight months combined.
In August one international flight was stuck for more than four hours. On Aug. 15, a Caribbean Airlines flight sat on the tarmac at New York's JFK Airport for four hours and 28 minutes before it took off for its destination, Trinidad and Tobago.
U.S. airlines are subject to huge fines if they keep passengers on a grounded plane for more than three hours. Violations start at four hours for international carriers at U.S. airports.
Almost four in five flights were considered on-time in August, meaning they arrived within 15 minutes of their posted schedule. At a rate of 79.2 percent, U.S. airlines were just slightly less on-time than a year earlier but better than July's 76 percent on-time rate.
Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines held their traditional top spots in the rankings. Delta was the most efficient major network airline, with an on-time rate of 83.9 percent. United was the worst.
Cancellations fell from both the month and year before. Fewer travelers complained about lost or damaged bags in August as well.
At the end of August, there were 56 flights that were chronically delayed _ 30 minutes late more than half the time _ for two straight months. Flights were mostly operated by regional carriers doing business for bigger airlines. Many of them were departing from congested airports like Newark Liberty in the New York area or San Francisco International. No flights were chronically delayed for three consecutive months or more.

Talking Numbers
Why Einhorn may be right about the tech bubble
Published Thu, Apr 24 20145:41 PM EDT Updated Thu, Apr 24 20145:41 PM EDT
Lawrence Lewitinn@lvlewitinn
Greenlight's David Einhorn is sounding the alarm on tech stocks to his investors.
The 45-year-old manager of the $10 billion fund wrote in an investment letter, "Now there is a clear consensus that we are witnessing our second tech bubble in 15 years. What is uncertain is how much further the bubble can expand, and what might pop it."
Well, Einhorn may be exaggerating about a consensus, let alone a clear one. But, he says there are reasons to go short high-flying tech stocks. "While we aren't predicting a complete repeat of the collapse," wrote Einhorn, "history illustrates that there is enough potential downside in these names to justify the risk of shorting them."
"Talking Numbers" contributor Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson, says the technicals back up Einhorn's fundamental take on tech stocks, particularly the tech-heavy PowerShares QQQ Trust ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq composite index.
(Read: Einhorned: SunEdison, Conn's jump on Greenlight stake)
Ross sees a "megaphone" or broadening top formation pattern that began in November. It is characterized by an upward sloping resistance line and a simultaneous downward sloping support line, resembling a megaphone.
"They call it the megaphone because, well, it looks like a megaphone," said Ross. "And, I'm shouting that you want to be a seller here."
Though the QQQ recently bounced back after nearly falling to its 200-day moving average, Ross says the bounce will fade. He predicts the QQQ will even break below the 200-day moving average, currently around $83 per share (The ETF traded just below $87 per share Wednesday afternoon). That's because Ross also sees the QQQ as trading in a long-term trend channel that began in 2010 with the 100-week moving average running alongside support at around $74 per share.
"I think we're going to test the 100-week moving average," said Ross. "I would be a seller into strength here in the Nasdaq."
(Read: Apple's stock split: Nice, but where's the product?)
Like Ross, Steve Cortes, founder of Veracruz TJM, also agrees with Einhorn's assessment of the tech sector. Echoing Einhorn's assertion that investors are rejecting conventional valuation methods for tech companies, Cortes said: "We've returned to some of the metrics we used to talk about way back in 2000, meaning we're talking about price-to-sales [valuations] all of a sudden rather than price-to-earnings. So, I think there's a lot of that frothiness, a lot of euphoria [similar to] the spring of 2000 present in the technology market right now."
Though there has been some rotation over the past couple of months out of the likes of Netflix and Facebook and into more established names like Microsoft and Intel, Cortes doesn't see it as proof of relative strength in some tech names.
"I think the high-flyers are going to serve as the warning shot and the anchor that will drag down all of tech," said Cortes. "Tech that has survived so far will not continue to do so and I think the whole space of technology within QQQ is very vulnerable."
To see the full discussion on the Nasdaq and the QQQ, with Ross on the technicals and Cortes on the fundamentals, watch the video above.

Stocks making the biggest moves midday: Best Buy, RH, Starbucks, Tenet Healthcare & more
Published Thu, Dec 10 202012:04 PM EST

Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.
Best Buy — Shares of the retailer slipped 2.4% after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock to sell from neutral. The investment firm said in a note to clients that Best Buy is "one of the best run retailers" but that the stock had a high valuation and recent sales growth would be hard to maintain.
RH — Shares of the home furnishings company fell 8% after the company warned that supply constraints would hurt the company during the fourth quarter. The company formerly known as Restoration Hardware did beat expectations for the third quarter, with $6.20 in adjusted earnings per share and $844.8 million in revenue. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv had penciled in $5.30 per share and $837.1 million in revenue.
DoorDash — Shares of the food delivery service fell more than 5% following its strong market debut on Wednesday. DoorDash shares soared 85% on its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Starbucks – Shares of the coffee chain jumped more than 4% after the company reaffirmed guidance supporting a "significant" rebound in 2021. The company is forecasting growth of at least 20% in fiscal 2022. Longer-term, Starbucks anticipates adjusted earnings per share rising between 10% and 12%.
Canada Goose — Shares of Canada Goose dropped 3.1% after a Goldman Sachs analyst downgraded the company to sell from neutral. The analyst said Canada Goose's 27% jump since September is "unwarranted," adding that "we observe mixed brand momentum indicators for the brand through November, which we expect to present a headwind to near- and medium-term growth."
Tenet Healthcare — Shares of Tenet Healthcare jumped more than 16% after the healthcare service company said it has agreed to acquire a portfolio of up to 45 ambulatory surgery centers from SurgCenter Development for $1.1 billion in cash, plus the assumption of $18 million of debt. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2020.
Ciena — Shares of the networking systems company dropped more than 3% after missing analysts' expectations for its fiscal fourth quarter earnings. Ciena reported earnings of 60 cents per share, below the 63 cents per share estimate, according to Refinitiv.
CSX – Shares of the railroad company slid more than 1% after Morgan Stanley downgraded CSX to an underweight rating. "The downgrade reflects valuation more than anything – our view on fundamentals has not materially changed," the firm said in a note to clients. Morgan Stanley did, however, raise its target on the stock to $60 from $52.
— CNBC's Pippa Stevens, Fred Imbert, Maggie Fitzgerald and Jesse Pound contributed reporting.

Why is Playboy making Bluetooth headphones?
Playboy thinks its readers would love to sport the Playboy logo around town on a pair of $150 Bluetooth headphones.
Ty Pendlebury
Aug. 16, 2019 10:11 a.m. PT
Playboy Audio
Playboy has a recent history of wacky ideas, and its latest oddball announcement is the company's first Bluetooth headphones: the Playboy Audio Icon 1. You know, because the magazine interviewed Miles Davis or something.
The $149 headphones promise better comfort in a lightweight design and feature the iconic bunny logo over each earcup, as well as the word Playboy on the headband.
Playboy Audio says the Icon 1 has an "ultrapremium distortion-free sound combined with our powerful rich bass offers a superior, industry leading, high-fidelity listening experience".
The Icon 1 also offers "better hands-free calling" (ick) using the company's "advanced microphone technology" and the ability to listen for up to 22 hours per charge.
The magazine's racy history is never far away, especially when it comes to fan extras like the promised and suggestively-named "Pleasures Playlist."
The Icon 1s aren't even the weirdest thing to happen under the Playboy banner in the past few years. In 2015, after 62 years of naked centerfolds, Playboy magazine went non-nude, and yet the decision only lasted for 18 months. In March 2018, six months after founder Hugh Hefner's death, the brand announced it was developing an online cryptocurrency wallet for paying for... the articles; yeah, that's it.

Pokemon Go-style ‘augmented reality trail’ to bring Coventry to life
It'll be here for City of Culture
Tom DavisLocal Democracy Reporter
People look on at the incredible light show displayed on Coventry Cathedral ruins
A ‘Pokemon Go’-style augmented reality trail is being planned to help bring Coventry’s history to life for visitors during the City of Culture year.
Coventry City Council is working on the project with a company called Creative Giants, councillors at a meeting were told this week.
The firm are said to have worked on similar projects at London’s Piccadilly Circus.
It’s hoped they can help create interactive experiences for visitors by creating a mobile phone app which people can download and use to view historical sites across the city and learn about Coventry’s past.
The Pokemon Go craze has been huge around the world.
Jo Shore, head of public realm, said: “One of the really important things we were looking at for City of Culture is how do we tell the story of our fantastic history in the way visitors can experience as well?
“How can we engage the youth of the day to look at it through their phones.
“The Pokemon Go craze happened a few years ago where you could hold your phone up and see images on your phone.
“We are hoping to bring this augmented reality to the city centre to bring it to life and tell the fantastic stories of the city.
“It will be a really exciting opportunity to bring that to life and you will almost feel immersed in this reality.
“It’s a really important part of the best of the old and the best of the new as well.”
Augmented reality includes a 360 degree panoramic viewed through your phone.
Film clips are usually then played from the perspective of the user.
It could be key as Coventry is expecting an extra 2.5 million visitors in 2021 when it celebrates its year in the spotlight as City of Culture.

Drake Was Digital Radio's Most Streamed Artist in 2014
ByJustin Block
@JBlock49 is a Video Anchor for Complex News
More Info: Twitter / Facebook / Instagram
Image via urbynloft
Drake makes hits and *fire emoji* songs. We all know this. He indirectly put out the best rap album this year, and at this point, it's impossible to listen to the radio without hearing Drake at least once. Dude's not only bodying the streets, but also the digital radio charts (woo!). While the concept of "radio" might be weird to 99 percent of millennials ("is radio that thing we used before AUX cables?"), it's definitions have changed with the emergence of modern streaming music services like Spotify and SoundCloud.
But back to grandpa's platform: radio. To properly measure who radio's top artist of 2014 was (for royalty purposes), SoundExchange did some bean counting. After drawing numbers from satellite radio, internet radio, and cable radio, they came to this lovely conclusion: Drake was 2014's most streamed artist over digital radio. With 2014 hits like "Only," "Believe Me," "Tuesday," and "O-100" all catching plays, plus the residual playback value of 2013's Nothing Was the Same carrying into this year, this shouldn't be a surprise. Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Usher, Beyonce, and Chris Brown also made SoundExchange's Top 20, which you can view in full below.
Shit is really hot up in the 6 right now—IRL and on radio.

Can you Email Patient Names Under HIPAA?
February 14, 2017complianceeditorHIPAA News0
Patient idenities (first and last name or last name and initial) are one of the 18 identifiers classified as protected health information (PHI) in the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
HIPAA does not outright ban the electronic transmission of PHI. Electronic communications, including email, are allowed, although HIPAA-covered bodies must apply reasonable security measures when transmitting ePHI to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data.
It is not a HIPAA breach to email patient names per se, although patient names and other PHI should not be listed in the subject lines of emails as the information could easily be seen by unauthorized people. Even when messages are secured with encryption in transit, message headers – which include the subject line and to and from fields – are often not encrypted and could potentially be intercepted and seen.
Patients names and other PHI should only be shared with individuals authorized to receive that data, so care must be taken to guarantee that the email is addressed correctly. Sending an email containing PHI to the wrong recipient would be an unauthorized disclosure and a breach of HIPAA.
Must all Emails Including PHI be Encrypted?
HIPAA does not demand the use of encryption. Encryption is only an addressable standard. However, if, after a risk assessment, the decision is taken not to implement encryption, an alternative and equivalent security measure must be used instead.
With internal emails, it would not be necessary for messages including ePHI to be encrypted provided the messages are only shared through an internal email system and do not leave the protection of a firewall. Access controls would also need to be present to prevent messages from being opened by individuals not authorized to receive the data.
If emails including PHI are sent outside the protection of an internal network there is huge potential for PHI to be seen by unauthorized people. This is not an issue when emailing patients, provided consent to use email to send PHI has been received from the patient beforehand. The patient must have been made aware of the dangers of sending PHI via unencrypted email and must have given authorization to use such a possibly insecure method of communication.
Emailing ePHI to all other people using unencrypted email is a dangerous strategy. While HIPAA encryption requirements are somewhat unspecific, in the event of a HIPAA audit or data breach investigation, it would be hard to claim that ePHI sent via unencrypted mail was reasonably protected, especially when there are many secure methods of data sharing available – Dropbox, Google Drive, Box etc.

PONY x Joey Badass Collection
To celebrate the relaunch of the iconic Topstar sneaker, PONY have collaborated with Brooklyn artist, actor, model, muse, entrepreneur and hip-hop superstar, Joey Bada$$. Joey is known for tracks like “DEVASTATED” and “TEMPTATION”, as well as his recurring role in the hit series Mr. Robot. He is also a founding member of the Pro Era hip-hop collective. The PONY x Joey Badass collection includes new versions of the Topstar Pro Era Suede, and the Topstar Lo Lux silhouettes. The collab also includes tees and crewnecks featuring the PONY chevron logo, along with Bada$$ graphics.
“I carry New York with me everywhere I go. It’s almost written across my forehead. I am a product of New York, working with Product of New York and there are so many parallels between myself and the brand. The fact that it’s an OG classic brand, and that’s basically my sound – OG, classic, timeless – I just thought it was a match made in heaven.”
– Joey Bada$$
This collaboration between a New York artist and a classic New York brand is a perfect match. PONY is bringing back their classic sneakers with the right influencers to ensure legitimacy in the streetwear scene. Look for future partnerships between PONY and other New York artists in the near future. Product of New York is staying true to their name by linking up with native New Yorkers. PONY was founded in 1972 by Roberto Muller on the streets of NYC, and hit mass popularity in the 1980s. Their roster of endorsers included Pele, Muhammad Ali, Reggie Jackson, Spud Webb, and many others. Hopefully, this recent resurgence from PONY will help bring the brand back to its glory days.

Brooklyn Neustaeter CTVNews.ca Writer
@bneustaeter Contact
Published Thursday, November 26, 2020 10:36AM EST Last Updated Tuesday, December 1, 2020 1:40PM EST
TORONTO -- As COVID-19 cases continue to surge across much of the country, some doctors are warning that emergency physicians and other frontline health-care workers are starting to suffer from burnout.
Dr. Rodrick Lim, pediatric emergency doctor in London, Ont. and chair of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians' wellness committee, told CTVNews.ca that doctors are always trying to do their best for patients, but he said the recent increase in cases has made that "very difficult."
While Lim says the rallying for frontline health-care workers seen amid the first wave of infections helped doctors push through, that "sense of unity is gone."
"When we see people who are protesting against wearing masks and not following social distancing rules and we know that the hospital is already at capacity, it definitely leads to disenfranchisement and worry, which can only make it more difficult for us not to be burnt out," Lim explained.
Burnout is a psychological syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the health organization says burnout is not classified as a medical condition.
The WHO reports that burnout is often characterized by feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job, and reduced professional efficacy.
As first reported by Healthy Debate, a survey of emergency doctors during the first 10 weeks of the pandemic found that "burnout levels did not significantly change" through the first wave. However, some health-care workers worry the second wave is taking a bigger toll.
"We knew that the second wave was coming, but now that it’s upon us and we know that the worst is in front of us, it's hard to keep digging for resilience and that energy that's going to be required for us over the next few weeks," Lim said.
Lim explained that the rise in coronavirus cases increases frontline health-care workers' worries about being able to maintain supplies of personal protective equipment and have the capacity for patients battling the disease without overwhelming other areas of hospitals.
A study published in June by the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine found that 86 per cent of Canadian emergency doctors "met at least one of the criteria for burnout" and nearly 6 per cent had "considered suicide" in 2019, as per Healthy Debate.
While Lim acknowledges that burnout has long been a problem for health-care workers, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situation.
"We have the same pressures at home that everyone else has but on top of that, obviously, our day jobs are demanding and busy," Lim said.
"At the end of the day, we want to make it to the other end of this with as many people as possible not being hurt and not suffering terrible consequences,” he added.
Lim says that is hard to achieve when Canadians have grown complacent around following public health measures, adding stress to emergency physicians' jobs. However, he acknowledges that the public, like doctors, are tired of being in a pandemic.
"The population had a huge capacity early on, really rallied around front-line workers in the spring and really showed their gratitude, and we all had a common purpose. But I think everyone is tired now," Lim said.
"I think they're going through a lot of emotion too and it's difficult for them to have that sense of unity and display what they probably felt during the first wave," he added.
Physicians struggling with burnout can benefit, Lim says, when governments and provincial health agencies offer effective communication to the public, provide thought-out resource allocation to hospitals, and offer help problem-solving when issues arise.
"We believe we're part of the system and when the system is working well, that helps us tremendously in terms of our burnout," Lim said. "When we see a lot of conflicting messaging, lack of unity, lack of foresight, it makes our jobs more difficult."
Lim said a successful, national response to the COVID-19 pandemic is the "best thing" that can be done for health-care workers' health.
Lim said hospitals have also taken steps to help staff with burnout.
For example, the emergency department at Vancouver General Hospital announced in June it would be offering a quite "wobble room" for doctors and nurses to relax.
Lim says other hospitals have since created similar spaces for staff amid the pandemic with volunteers also offering mental health resources for frontline health-care workers.
However, Lim says these resources are the "very, last safety net" and he said they are for physicians who already know they are in "deep trouble but have the courage to ask for help."
Dr. Teresa Chan, an emergency physician in Hamilton, Ont. and associate professor at McMaster University, told CTVNews.ca that continuing to follow public health measures can help emergency physicians overcome burnout.
"Everyone in the department is there and frankly risking their lives in many ways to take care of people when they're most needed and so, we'd love it if everyone can chip in by wearing their masks and refrain from large gatherings to help us stop the spread," Chan said via Zoom on Thursday.
When people don't follow virus restrictions, Chan said it feels like the public isn't heeding the warnings and intentionally making doctors' jobs harder.
"There's been a lot of talk about front-line workers being heroes, but I think we just want to be acknowledged as humans. Humans that also need the help of other humans," Chan said. "Humans that get exhausted after wearing PPE for eight hours and can't really even take a sip of water without a huge to-do of doffing."
While there are promising vaccine candidates on the horizon, Chan said Canadians still need to do their part in helping mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in the meantime.
"Because we were successful in stemming the first wave, people think that we can just go and live our lives this second time around but that’s not the case," Chan said. She added that hand washing, mask wearing, and physical distancing remain the best prevention methods.
Chan says front-line workers don't need to see the outpouring of public support that happened during the first wave; she said they just want to see Canadians adhering to safety protocols.
"We'd take less thank yous for more mask wearing. We'd be OK with less lauding and clanging of pots if it means that people are staying home and safe," Chan said.

Sia announces launch of Skynet platform for peer to peer storage
Bhushan Tambe
The cloud storage platform has unveiled a CDN and web hosting platform, Skynet to bolster the file storage.
Skynet platform is aimed for public web hosting.
The American cloud storage company, Sia, has reportedly launched a content delivery network (CDN) and web hosting platform Skynet to suffice the requirements across file storage system. Skynet platform offers a blockchain based peer to peer file storage system, which enables the users and developers to upload files and applications. Apparently, these files stay online as long as at least one peer pins the file. As per credible reports, the company’s Skynet service is expected to be distinguished from its main file hosting service, which is economically inviable. Moreover, it is intended as a private cloud storage for individual users and public web hosting. It has been claimed that the platform is being developed to support encrypted private data which is currently unavailable. Furthermore, as of now, anyone can upload a file to Skynet via different web portals through Sia’s command-line client, or web applications like Pastebin alike text uploader. However, no claims have been made on restricting the uploads per user or file sizes to prevent spam. According to the company officials, Skynet nodes experience nearly USD 10 of additional transaction fees every month, putting forth the fact that the platform’s network capacity is huge and not an immediate concern. Although Skynet is completely free for now, it might accept microtransactions via Lighting Network and other channels in the upcoming days to felicitate the profitability. Skynet powered by Sia, is not the only web hosting platform of its type. Filecoin’s IPFS project, launched in 2015, serves a similar purpose altogether. Additionally, TRON’s NKN and BitTorrent File System services are other two decentralized, blockchain-integrated platforms designed for web hosting and content delivery.

KSSK CMD Chats: Pulmonary Web Series World Premiere
Registration open now World Premiere + Live Q&A on December 27, 2020
Many people affected by neuromuscular disorders may not know that aggressive, proactive pulmonary care is critical to avoiding breathing-related illnesses, hospitalizations, and long-term complications. Affected individuals who are not getting the respiratory support they need may experience morning headaches, restless sleep, daytime fatigue, changes in appetite, and an inability to concentrate. To avoid these issues, it is important to consult a pulmonary specialist familiar with neuromuscular disorders as soon as symptoms of muscle weakness are detected.
But this is a muscle disorder, right? What’s breathing got to do with it?
A new web series, hosted by affected teens and featuring some of the world’s top experts in neuromuscular pulmonary care, was created to answer this question and more. You can watch the 30-second trailer here.
KSSK CMD Chats aims to demystify pulmonary care best practices for those impacted by neuromuscular disorders. Hosts Sophie Kim, age 14, who is also featured in the Netflix series The Healing Powers of Dude, and Kierra Sunris, age 15, a theater kid, improviser, RPGer, and video game aficionado, will ask some of our community's top experts about the most important aspects of pulmonary care. Get the critical info you need in just eight webisodes, each less than 20 minutes.
“I wanted to host KSSK because I understand how important it is to learn about how to take care of yourself, especially your pulmonary care,” says Kierra, who in this upcoming winter break from school will be playing Dungeons & Dragons with her friends, and working with her school’s improv team. “Plus, I just love the camera, and I love Sophie… I want people to know that pulmonary care is imperative no matter what age you are. There is nothing to be afraid of, and it is actually super special!”
Sophie, who will spend her winter break relaxing and watching Christmas movies, agrees. “I wanted to host KSSK so I could help others like me have the resources to stay on top of their health. My favorite part of hosting was the team I got to work with, everyone is wonderful and fun to talk with. I want people to learn the importance of pulmonary care and that it's never too late to start.”
Esteemed guests of the web series include:
MyMy Buu MD, Pediatric Pulmonologist and Associate Fellowship Program Director, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital
Reghan Foley MD, Senior Research Physician, Pediatric Neuromuscular Clinician at the National Institutes of Health
Robert Graham MD, Senior Associate, Critical Care Medicine, Boston Children’s Hospital
Oren Kupfer MD, Pediatric Pulmonologist and Inpatient Medical Director, Children’s Hospital Colorado
Oscar H. Mayer MD, Attending Pulmonologist and Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
John E. Pascoe MD, Pediatric Pulmonologist and Director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship Training Program, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Giovanni Perez MD, Pediatric Pulmonologist, Oishei Children's Hospital
Hemant Sawnani MD, Pediatric Pulmonologist, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
Cure CMD is dedicated to supporting those affected by congenital muscular dystrophy, but hopes that the material covered in this web series will be useful to the broader neuromuscular community as well. Executive Director Rachel Alvarez says, “As a consequence of inadequate pulmonary care, I almost died. I need our community to truly understand how important this topic is, and to begin advocating early and often, so that what I experienced doesn’t happen to anyone else. We have an amazing network of passionate clinicians who also want to ensure that everyone has access to this information -- to make avoidable respiratory complications a thing of the past. I can’t wait to share this amazing series!”
KSSK CMD Chats: A Pulmonary Guide Web Series was made possible in part by grants from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative DAF, an advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation; and from the National Organization for Rare Disorders. The web series is a co-production with Fine Point Consulting.
Visit Eventbrite to claim your free ticket, and join us on Sunday December 27, 2020, at 10am Pacific (Los Angeles) / 1pm Eastern (New York) / 6pm GMT (London). This one-hour event will include a premiere of episodes 1 & 2, and will be followed by a live Q&A with our team of neuromuscular pulmonary experts. Join us for the opportunity to learn and ask questions!

What You Need to Know About the FDA's Approval of Lynparza and Avastin for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Ryan McDonald
The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the combination of Lynparza (olaparib) and Avastin (bevacizumab) for patients with advanced ovarian cancer that carries a specific mutation and has responded to previous treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy plus Avastin. Here’s what you need to know.
The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of Lynparza (olaparib) in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have responded to initial treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy plus Avastin provides further evidence to support adding a PARP inhibitor to maintenance Avastin treatment in some patients, according to Dr. Erin E. Medlin.
“Not all patients receive maintenance bevacizumab, so it could be more beneficial in certain patients based on their tumor biology or the results of their surgery,” Medlin, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, said in an interview with CURE®. “It adds an additional therapeutic option for maintenance therapy for patients where they may see greater benefits than they did on just the bevacizumab.”
Maintenance therapy is given after initial treatment to help prevent cancer from coming back. Avastin is an anti-angiogenic drug that interferes with the development of blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Lynparza is a PARP inhibitor, which can be lethal to cancer cells by hindering their ability to repair their damaged DNA.
The agency based its approval on results from the phase 3 PAOLA-1 trial, which demonstrated that the combination of Lynparza and Avastin led to a 41% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to Avastin alone in patients with newly diagnosed, advanced, high-grade, serous or endometroid ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer.
Additionally, after a median follow-up of 22.9 months, the median time until disease progression was 22.1 months and 16.6 months, respectively, with the combination and Avastin alone.
Results also showed that Lynparza was most beneficial for patients with homologous recombination deficient tumors — which have a DNA repair deficiency — including those that were positive for a BRCA gene mutation. In this subgroup, the median time until disease progression was 37.2 months with the Lynparza maintenance combination and 17.7 months with Avastin alone.
The approval of this combination comes on the heels of the approval of another PARP inhibitor, Zejula (niraparib), which is indicated as a monotherapy for the initial maintenance treatment of adults with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
Medlin highlighted that although Lynparza is in the same class and has the same mechanism of action as Zejula, the approvals were slightly different and that she wanted to acknowledge the differences.
For instance, in the PAOLA-1 study, researchers identified a benefit in patients with homologous recombination deficiency but did not see as significant a benefit in all patients, according to Medlin.
“This approval is different (from the Zejula approval) in that it is not for all patients,” she said. “It's only for patients with a homologous recombination deficiency. I think it has a very similar meaning to patients as does the niraparib approval, in that it provides evidence for adding a PARP inhibitor for certain patients to maintenance bevacizumab.”
Medlin noted that the approval of the combination therapy happened within a week of the Zejula approval, which she said was unusual but exciting, as there has been an upswing in the number of approvals of medications for ovarian cancer over the last 10 years.
“It’s exciting to have some new treatment options for women with ovarian cancer, and some options for maintenance that we have never had before,” Medlin said.

Supplementary materials for report “Shining a Brighter Light: Comprehensive Evidence on Adoption and Diffusion of CGIAR-Related Innovations in Ethiopia”

Funding Reference
The report presents an unprecedented stocktaking of all CGIAR-related innovations in a given country as well as new estimates of adoption of those innovations from a nationally representative dataset generated through a partnership among the Ethiopian Central Statistics Agency (CSA), the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) team, and the CGIAR Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA). Ethiopia was chosen for this exercise because it is a hotspot of CGIAR research, with almost all the CGIAR centers represented in Addis Ababa.
The report documents the reach of CGIAR-related agricultural innovations in a comprehensive manner across the core domains of CGIAR research activity: animal agriculture; crop germplasm improvement; natural resource management; and policy research. In order to identify the right innovations to collect data on, SPIA conducted more than 90 interviews with CGIAR research leaders, scientists, government officials, and colleagues from the Ethiopian Institute for Agricultural Research (EIAR), all the while compiling documented evidence to support claims made by these key informants. The output of that work is a stocktaking of 52 agricultural innovations and 26 claims of policy influence.
Quantitative evidence on the adoption of 18 of these innovations was obtained through the incorporation of measurements of the reach of these innovations in the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey (ESS), a regionally and nationally representative panel survey of households. We report some data from the third wave (ESS3, carried out in 2015/16), but our major focus is on ESS4 (2018/19).

The massive retail condo owned by Kushner Companies at 229 West 43rd Street in Midtown Manhattan is headed for a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) foreclosure auction scheduled for June 30, according to the Commercial Observer. The 251,000-square-foot asset will be sold at a “as is, where is” basis — all cash — at a password-protected virtual Zoom UCC auction that had previously been postponed and was originally scheduled for April 30. JLL is marketing the sale.
Worth Noting: The property’s remaining “performing” tenants include bowling alley Bowlmor (occupies just over 31 percent of the rentable area), Guitar Center (leases about 11.3 percent of the space at the basement level), bar and restaurant The Ribbon, Haru Sushi, and Los Tacos. [CO]

Childrens Hospital Sued Over Issue of Consent for Infant’s Surgery
When a doctor at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles called in 2007 to tell Eduardo Rivas that his 6-month-old son needed surgery to repair double hernias, Rivas was not sure what he should do.
Nathan had been born four months premature. His mother, Rivas’ wife, had died of breast cancer soon after his birth. Rivas had to decide on his own.
What happened next is at the root of a civil lawsuit filed by Rivas against the hospital and two of his son’s doctors. Rivas, a Spanish speaker, last week told the jury hearing the case in Los Angeles County Superior Court that he never consented to surgery that he says left his son brain-damaged.
Nathan had been transferred to the hospital from Glendale Memorial Hospital the evening Rivas got the call from a doctor and a Spanish-speaking social worker saying his son needed an operation.
“She said it was just something minor, just a small, little surgery,” Rivas told the jury through a court interpreter. “The only thing that could happen was an infection, and that could be treated with antibiotics.”
Rivas, 43, of Tujunga said he refused consent. The next day, Nov. 16, 2007, doctors operated on Nathan.
Hospital officials contend that Rivas consented verbally. But investigators with the California Department of Public Health found the hospital could not supply any records proving that Rivas consented to the surgery, according to a report released last month.
Although Nathan was scheduled for morning surgery, doctors postponed it until that afternoon “due to inability to get consent,” according to a physician’s progress note cited in the state report.
A doctor attempted to get Rivas to consent to the surgery about 7 a.m., according to the state investigators’ account. When Rivas refused, the doctor told him to return to the hospital later that day “for further discussion,” according to nursing notes.
Rivas testified that he returned but could not reach his son’s doctors by phone from the hospital lobby. A consent form completed at 9 a.m. was signed by a nurse and the surgeon, Dr. Dean Anselmo, but did not include Rivas’ signature, according to the state report. Hospital spokesman Steve Rutledge said Rivas consented to the surgery in English during a phone call with Anselmo that morning that was witnessed by a nurse. Rutledge said hospital staff offered Rivas a Spanish interpreter, but he refused. Investigators found that the hospital’s failure to provide a Spanish interpreter violated hospital policy.
“We feel that consent was properly obtained,” Rutledge said. “There is ample documentation that Mr. Rivas verbally consented to surgery.” The final state report, including the hospital’s plan of correction, is expected this week.
Rivas, a roofing inspector, said he refused the surgery because he was nervous about the procedure, particularly the anesthesia. He said he was never offered a Spanish interpreter while Nathan was at the hospital.
After the surgery, Nathan, who had arrived at the hospital with a nasal breathing tube, became dependent on a ventilator and feeding tube, according to Rivas’ Beverly Hills-based lawyer, Nathaniel Friedman.
Hospital officials attribute Nathan’s complications to his premature birth, which left him “frail,” with chronic lung disease and neurological problems, according to Rutledge.
Rivas believes the damage was caused by his son’s reaction to anesthesia.
By law, if damages are awarded in the case, Medi-Cal, the state health insurance program which has paid about $913,000 for Nathan’s care, must be reimbursed first.
Rivas, who also has a 10-year-old son, said Nathan’s nursing care alone costs $1,100 a month. Nathan, nearly 3, has the mental capacity of a baby.
He sat in a stroller outside the family home last week, feeding and oxygen tubes dangling by his side. He grimaced, rolled his eyes and slapped his head to get his father’s attention.
“I have to watch him all the time or he hits himself and pulls his lines out,” Rivas said as he lifted Nathan out of the stroller and held him close. “It’s his way of saying ‘Don’t leave me alone.’ “

Witches Reunite for ‘The Wizard of Oz’
Lucy Durack and Jemma Rix join Anthony Warlow
Producers John Frost and Suzanne Jones are delighted to announce that Lucy Durack and Jemma Rix are joining the cast of the world’s favourite musical, The Wizard of Oz, to play Glinda the Good Witch and The Wicked Witch of the West respectively, alongside Anthony Warlow who will be playing The Wizard and Professor Marvel.
The London Palladium production of The Wizard of Oz will have its Australian Premiere in Brisbane at the Lyric Theatre, QPAC from 4 November 2017 before travelling to the Capitol Theatre, Sydney from 30 December. Tickets go on sale next week, with waitlist now open.
Lucy Durack is one of Australia’s most exciting leading ladies of stage and screen with a list of major roles to her credit. On the musical stage, she played Glinda in the original Australian cast of Wicked and Elle Woods in Legally Blonde The Musical for which she won both Sydney Theatre and Helpmann Awards as Best Actress in a Musical. Lucy’s numerous TV credits include Doctor Doctor, Upper Middle Bogan, The Letdown, Here Come The Habibs and The Moodys
Jemma Rix was part of the original Australian cast of Wicked, and performed the leading role of Elphaba across Australia during both Australian tours, as well as in Singapore, Seoul, Auckland and Manila. She went on to star as Molly Jensen in Ghost The Musical during the Australian tour, and most recently made her Sydney Opera House debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra concert Witches. Jemma is currently recording her first solo album due to launch in August.
“With Lucy, Jemma and Anthony Warlow as the Wizard, we have a matchless leading cast, and I can’t wait to audition talented young actresses to wear Dorothy’s ruby red slippers and sing one of the most-beloved songs of all time, Over The Rainbow,” said John Frost. “This beautiful, sumptuous production was a huge hit in London, and audiences enjoyed revisiting the classic story that’s universally loved. It’s also wonderful to rehearse and open the production in Queensland.”
“I’m thrilled that Lucy and Jemma will reunite to play the roles that shot them to stardom in Wicked in this new Australian tour of The Wizard of Oz. They are two remarkable and talented performers, and it will be wonderful to see them weave their magic together on stage again,” added Suzanne Jones.
Developed from the ever-popular MGM screenplay, the London Palladium production of The Wizard of Oz contains the beloved Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg songs from the Oscar-winning movie score, all the favourite characters and iconic moments, plus a few surprises along the way, including new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The new production of The Wizard of Oz had its world premiere at The London Palladium Theatre in March 2011. After a successful West End run, the production had its North American premiere in Toronto in December 2012, and then embarked on a US tour from September 2013. The production boasts a stellar creative team: Jeremy Sams (direction), Robert Jones (set and costume design), Arlene Phillips (choreography), Hugh Vanstone (lighting design), Mick Potter (sound design), Jon Driscoll & Daniel Brodie (video/projection design), David Cullen (orchestrations) and Guy Simpson (musical supervision).

Trump/Saudi Love Affair Faces Universial Condermnation
Trump was thinking about sword dances and the red carpet treatment...
when calls from Capitol Hill for the U.S. to halt arms sales to the kingdom after the murder of a Washington Post journalist rang out.
Governments around the world are condemning Jamal Khashoggi's brutal murder by the Saudis.
Trump Administration Sticks With Saudis As Business Leaders Back Away
Trump is between a rock and a wall. Lawmakers are livid that Saudi Arabia sent a hit squad after Khashoggi for his controversial views on their government.
Congress is demanding to know if the columnist was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey. Trump, who has private business deals, and presidential stakes in the kingdom, is doing everything he can to tamp down the controversy.
The Turkish government has already provided proof of what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. The next move is Trump's. His reaction to irreversible facts will be watched by the American people and the world.
To be sure, Congress has been concerned about Saudi Arabia's policies and the crown prince's aggressive steps to silence his critics for over a year now.
To Trump's dismay, lawmakers are considering halting a arms sales (that Trump bragged about in his visit to Saudi Arabia) to the kingdom.
Furthermore, there is a push in Congress for sanctions to imposed against the Saudis for human-rights violations. They're questioning America's support for a Saudi-led bombing campaign against Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen.
Least we forget, Trump's business relationships with the Saudi government - and rich Saudi business executives-go back to at least the 1990s.
Trump has a lot of irons in this growing firestorm showdown with Congress. He's going to be politically forced to make some hard decisions.
Expect a spin that will challenge reality.

Up to a million children in Balochistan not getting school education, Supreme Court told
Syed Ali Shah | Ghalib NihadPublished April 10, 2018
The Supreme Court was told on Monday that up to a million children in Balochistan are not going to school, DawnNewsTV reported.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, conducted a hearing on the suo motu notice taken on Balochistan's healthcare, education and water crisis at the Quetta registry today.
During the hearing, Balochistan Health Secretary Noor-ul-Haq Baloch, briefed the chief justice on the dire situation of Balochistan's education system, saying: "Up to 11,000 primary schools in the province lack basic facilities and as many as a million children are not getting a school education."
At this, Justice Nisar remarked that "the situation in Balochistan is even worse than Sindh's."
The CJ grilled Balochistan's secretary health over the poor state of hospitals in the province, questioning why healthcare is such a low-paying profession. "Doctors are being paid Rs24,000 a month, whereas even the Supreme Court driver gets paid Rs35,000," he said.
Justice Nisar directed the health secretary to clear the dues of young doctors. "Why haven't the young doctors been paid yet?" he asked, adding that all the doctors on house jobs should get paid within one week and their valid demands should be met.
The chief justice on Monday had summoned Dr Abdul Malik Baloch and Nawab Sanaullah Zehri — the last two chief ministers of Balochistan — to explain what they did for the improvement of governance in the province during their respective tenures.
The duo wasn't in Quetta on Tuesday and so couldn't appear in court; the chief justice ordered them to appear in Islamabad court on April 30. The case's hearing was adjourned until Wednesday.
The chief justice also addressed lawyers in Quetta registry's bar room, telling them that "his head hangs in shame due to targeted killings of the Hazara community."
"We don't have the privilege to legislate and those who do have it are not legislating," he said during the address.

He’s a great judge
One child missing education is too many let alone millions? These wadairas, sardars along with the rest of Pakistani politicians always struggle to strengthen their pollical seats and no one cares for the precious future of Pakistan that is supposed to be the number one priority for any nation that wants to win poverty and illiteracy. Poverty and illiteracy are the two twin sister minces that always together and they can only be eliminated through educating our next generation more than building roads and bridges…. I am so sad knowing that every day so many kids are without school …As a nation our future is very dark if this state of our young generation is not changed soon!

Knowing Baluchistan and living there I can safely say the lack of education is due to lack of desire for learning. Most Baloch and Pathan make money through smuggling. They are in some shape or form connected to smuggling product and unless the borders are secured this problem will continue. You will find five-year-old kids sitting in the shop selling smuggled products making decent money why would the get educated or see value in education. Only the so-called nonlocals strive for schooling in Quetta while the rest of the province public schools are abandoned and teachers are simply collecting salaries. The entire education system is upside down, and nobody is fixing it, and the so-called local don't find value in education.
Amjad Durrani Engineer USA
It is an irony of fate that in this 21st century when other nations have made spectacular strides in making their masses educated, our one million children of this backward part are the country are forced live with the curse of ignorance and illiteracy leading to the suffering of abject poverty which their parent and forefather did too. Had it not been to our CJP intervention, things would have moved the same way as it has been during all these years. A paradoxically incomprehensible statement by those who are destined with the responsibility to provide educational facilities to our school going children, is nothing but to hoodwink those asking reasons for this negligence and inefficiency. One hopes that things are likely to improve one way or the other because it has come to limelight and person like CJP is taking keen interest to alleviate the suffering of children who want to be educated like those in other parts of the country. May be it becomes a dawn for these children after all
Politicians busy making money. They do not have time to serve people of the country.

UPS 'supersizes' Kentucky package hub
DC Velocity Staff
UPS has completed the expansion of its Louisville, Ky., package operations, more than tripling the size of its ground sortation and distribution hub, the Atlanta-based company said this week.
The project is part of a multi-year plan to modernize and expand the logistics company's global network. The Louisville Centennial operation now covers more than 1 million square feet and has nearly doubled its package sorting capacity, the company said. The expansion adds support for UPS' express service packages routed to nearby Louisville Muhammed Ali International Airport, as well. The "supersized" hub can insert packages into UPS's air operations as late a 1: 30 a.m. for same-day delivery across the country, UPS officials said.
"Tripling the size of our Centennial hub provides companies with distribution centers and operations in Kentucky and the surrounding areas with more opportunities to better serve their customers," Joe Boyle, president of UPS's Ohio Valley District, said in a statement announcing the project's completion.
The massive operation incorporates high-tech automation and material handling equipment. Covering more than 19 football fields, the expanded facility can process about 85,000 packages per hour via 25 miles of conveyors. High-speed label applicators can place "smart labels" on packages at a rate of 3 per second, increasing accuracy and speeding the routing of packages for both local and nationwide delivery.
The $310 million expansion project created 300 full- and part-time jobs, the company also said.

Book Notes: Understanding sharks
Rae Padilla Francoeur More Content Now
�Shark.� Photographs and essays by Brian Skerry. Additional essays by Erik Vance and Glenn Hodges. Published by National Geographic, Washington, D.C. 208 pages. $25
The movie �Jaws� may well have contributed to the undoing of the shark. Fearsome creatures like sharks, wolves and grizzlies don�t fare well on this planet. One hundred million sharks are killed every year, the majority for their fins for shark fin soup. Also included in that number are the thousands of sharks killed in shark fishing tournaments and by sports fishermen. These big fish would have more advocates if they were adorable. And then, there�s Steven Spielberg, whose movie-making genius scared many a swimmer out of the surf.
National Geographic underwater photographer Brian Skerry�s mission is to improve upon the shark�s likability quotient using his magnificent photography and a related series of informative and compelling essays in his new book, �Shark.�
�My hope is that I can portray sharks in a new light, to show them as complex animals possessing characteristics that arouse marvel rather than contempt,� he writes. �My desire is that the photos contained within this book will remain within your memory and help to form a more layered understanding of these ancient and supreme ocean animals.� Of the 500 species of sharks, 70 species are threatened with extinction and many others are endangered. �The future of sharks is in our hands.�
Skerry is a photojournalist who specializes in marine photography and underwater environments. He lives in Massachusetts and saw his first shark underwater off the coast of Rhode Island when he was 20. It was a blue shark � sleek and blue and hydrodynamic, with wide pectoral fins that allow it to glide with speed and power through deep seas. He was hooked and has been photographing sharks of all kinds, often at the very close range of 3 to 6 feet, for more than three decades.
Unlike terrestrial photography, underwater photographers juggle many unique constraints including limited oxygen, penetrating cold and equipment that must be tended to above water. And there are risks when eye-to-eye with predators like great white sharks. Though divers know that sharks are not as interested in them as their natural prey, divers must practice extreme caution at all times.
Eons of evolution, says Skerry, have produced the �fluid perfection� of the shark. That gorgeous fluidity fills the pages of this handsome book. But, to fully understand the importance of the shark, you must see it in a much wider context. Sharks are one element in a balance of nature where flora and fauna are �inexorably entwined.� Remove one piece and the system breaks down.
When Skerry photographs, he often moves back from the dramatic detail to the wide, encompassing view that brings in kelp beds or coral reefs, other fish � prey and predator alike � and sunlight as it appears from his vantage point underwater. The shark�s world is large and complex.
Skerry once spent days on his back, submerged in the shallow waters of mangrove forests in Bimini, Bahamas. He was photographing lemon shark pups that live amid the protection of the tangled root systems until they are 2-years-old and big enough to fend in the abutting seas. The photography reveals a fantastical secret world colored with multiple shades of muted green, rippled underwater reflections, a bevy of smaller fish and mangrove roots staked out at short intervals, oddly reminiscent of a toddler�s crib. Here a lemon shark can mature in relative safety.
Erik Vance�s essay on the great white shark is a pleasure to read, especially his description of the great white�s profile � flabby jowled and rather portly. �It�s only when the underwater clown turns to face you that you understand why it�s the most feared animal on earth,� he writes. �The bemused smile is gone, and all you see are rows of 2-inch teeth capable of crunching down with almost 2 tons of force.�
All the essayists writing here describe sharks as confident, powerful and capable. They are �lords of the seas,� elegant, fierce and at home in their ocean world. We see their vulnerability, as well, when they are pictured ensnared in fishing nets, askew on the sands as their fins are harvested, and as cause for celebration during a shark fishing tournament where the only goal is to capture and kill.

Who Is Infosource? An Interview With Johann Hoepfner About Printing, Capture, and More
by Bryant Duhon | Jul 31, 2020 | Blogs | 0 comments
To help everyone get to know Infosource a little better (me included!), I had a conversation with Johann Hoepfner, Managing Director, about the combination of Infosource, DIR, and Harvey Spencer Associates; the industry; and a few other items snuck in too. The following is lightly edited for readability.
Q: Who Is Infosource?
JH: We are Market intelligence provider. We consider ourselves a market data supplier the company was founded back in 1985 to provide highly accurate market data for the industries they decided to cover.
Q: Why did they decide to cover the printing industry?
JH: There was a demand. I believe that it was Canon and they were not happy with the data that was available at the time. A lot of the data available was based on estimation assumptions but not factual data. Infosource specializes in collecting data from sources so we base our data on declared data not estimated data
Q: What areas have you traditionally covered?
JH: We’ve always been specialized in printing even going back to typewriters and matrix printers. As the industry changed, so did we, and now we’re specialized on digital printing. We analyze everything from the small printers to digital power press to textile printing. More recently, we shifted to include document capture technology from a hardware point of view. Now with the Harvey Spencer Associates (HSA) and DIR mergers we have a strong team in the US to promote and extend this expertise.
Q: What was the original impetus to merge Infosource, HSA, and DIR?
JH: We covered the document capture hardware market via Mark Nicholson and our scanner program. We also obviously had some document capture hardware covered through the copier MFP reports we were doing. And of course there is a strong relationship nowaday between capture software and the hardware. We wanted to bring these together and so we had the idea that the software to capture hardware would be a strong combination. Talking to Ralph for years was a really a welcome opportunity to incorporate a publication that covers these topics and we can reach a different and wider audience
Q: How do you see these things combining together?
JH: I think bringing together capture hardware and software is bringing together what belongs together. I think it’s a natural combination of the best possible expertise because infosource has data in both areas we can provide expertise on the transition from paper-based information into purely digital information management.
Q: What do you want to have what do you want to add to the industry
We want to help the industry as it seeks to enable digital transformation for customers. There is a demand from both hardware and software companies to know what the other side is doing. Frequently in the past we have had hardware manufacturers ask us about software, not just capture and imaging but also document management software and solutions. At the same time, I understand Harvey [Spencer] that software vendors wanted to have a better idea of hardware vendors and how they could work with them. By combining this expertise, we can now cover the entire industry — hardware and software. We also think there’s a tremendous networking opportunity to bring both sides together with Harvey’s conference. I think that’s something missing in the industry today.
Q: It’s bringing two halves of a whole together.
JH: Yes. Absolutely.
Q: This is similar to the question above, but what opportunity do you see bringing these three entities together, both for the industry and for the company?
JH: With the knowledge and expertise we have, Infoscoure is in the best possible position to help hardware manufacturers work out their transition to non paper based information flow. Again there is a need for them to transform. We can bring them the knowledge and expertise, together with partners to help them with this transition.
Q: What’s one of the more interesting printing trends you see right now?
JH: Print on demand is interesting, and there are many interesting trends. Print on demand is in the reach of everyone. You can get low volume, high quality prints on a broad range of surfaces. For example, you can print your own wallpaper. If you want to have your favorite holiday picture, you can have that printed as wallpaper. Or you can have the pictures of your girls [Ed note: I have two daughters] on your phone case. You can get these things with low volumes. It is an interesting trend because we move away from a4 paper prints in the office, but the areas where print is becoming present today is very broad.
Q: The first thing I thought of when you said POD is I thought of AIIM and Xplor combining into a single show and the giant IBM printers printing books and documents and collatoral on demand. When you say POD, you are talking about everything from 1 book to 3 pieces of paper at Fedex to printing smartphone photos via Mpix online to print onto a mug for my Mom, pics of the grandkids or a book.
JH: The traditional definition of print on demand of course came from that printing physical paper environment. I went to a fair several years ago and there was a giant Konica MInolta Bizhub with a binding machine and that’s print on demand. But the book printing never really took off. There aren’t any shops where you can get something printed. There are ebooks and Amazon for that now. But printing your photos in a book, Apple has that — send your pictures, upload them to their shop and you get your book a few days later. You don’t even make your own album anymore. I think the customer appreciates having this personal print on high quality surfaces and materials. You can print your carpet. Or you can print your tiles. You can print on nearly anything. And we’re not even talking about 3-D printing yet.
Q: On a personal level, how did you get involved and what do you enjoy most about it?
JH: I originally come from the finance sector but in all of my previous jobs I learned IT as well. At the time I worked for an HP dealer. Back then there was no plug and play, so my job was to adapt software to printers. you had to configure it, you had to set up the printers so they would work with the software. No drivers or USB cables, you had to go into each software and it was a messy job to do back then.
I started to understand bigger printers and bigger computers. I worked for an automobile association and they had SAP. My job was to adapt SAP to the logistics to the purchases and buying goods and stocking them. I was managing the commercial print processes for that. That was my job before I came to Infosource. At Infosource I really came to know what is all involved in printing, which I had never thought about.
Q: What surprised you the most as you got into the industry?
JH: First of all was the volumes of devices being sold. Even back then people were talking about paper-free offices and when I came to Infosource I realized how far away from that we were. Infosource back then had just switched from printed reports to electronic and Web-based data delivery. We made the move that was expected to be done everywhere, moving away from paper to purely providing data in electronic format.
Q: So, irony, you cover the printing industry, but don’t print your reports.
JH: [Laughs] Exactly.
Q: About what year was that?
JH: Infosource has had Internet-based services available since 1999. So quite a long time. Our customers could access the data online. We stopped printing in 2004.
Q: That kind of reminds me of when I first walked into AIIM as an intern. The editor at the time, John Harney, had a poster on his wall about the “paperless office.” The whole forms and workflow are going to remove paper — the same things we’re writing about now (and many of the same companies too). I often think of that and am amazed at how far we’ve come but how far is left to go.
JH: In our office we had all of the old books from 1985 to 2003, the last ones. They were printed in leather bound books. Really heavy things. The IT show in Hanover, Germany that doesn’t exist any longer. All of the printer, copier manufacturers were there. That was the deadline for us to publish the books. They were packing up boxes of them into cars and driving them over to hand them directly to the customers at the event.
Q: That’s some good customer service. We talked a little about this, but how has printing changed and will COVID have a huge impact or will it just be a blip and then a return to normal? [Ed note: As I was finishing these edits, I saw an article from early July that Fujitsu intends to move some/all of it’s employees to work from home permanently, closing office buildings. Twitter made a similar announcement in May. So maybe not a blip.]
JH: I think we have to separate office printing industry and the commercial and industrial printing industries. We cover both areas. Office printing has seen a strong decline in volumes, even before COVID, over several years now. The commercial printing — which is often still paper-based, insurance, bank statements, etc. — that has been still quite strong as people continue to rely on paper.
I notice in the US a reliance on continuing to send out checks. That’s something that has nearly gone completely away in Europe for years. With COVID-19 these processes have changed. First of all, office and home office work and people are already printing less in the office and will print less now. With commercial printing, there’s been some switch to sending by email. So the Postal Service will be impacted. I suppose that payments will be by more wire transfer as people are less inclined to go to a bank and so on. We think there will be a strong decline. Whereas the industrial printing industry is quite strong these days. They have been increasing over the past few years. There have been new forms and new demands coming up all the time.
Printing on vinyl for car coverings, direct to garment – t-shirts, direct to object printing like phone shells or bottles, so industrial printing has not been impacted by COVID. So it’s had different impacts on each area. The loss of print volumes due to COVID in the office printing and portions of commercial printing are unlikely to fully recover. They were already on a decline and that decline has simply accelerated with COVID-19. Whatever is lost there is unlikely to recover.
It would be a step back to receive your bank statement by PDF and then to receive them again by paper.
Q: I know every time I get an 8 page EOB for a short doctor’s visit, it drives me crazy.
JH: Anecdotally, we were in France at the Swiss Embassy and they asked us to come over and show them the paper. They just copied them and then we could go back home. So we did a 100 mile ride each way for a 5 minute meeting where they copied the papers.Couldn’t I have just scanned them? but no, you had to have them in paper — it was absolutely necessary [there was a hint of sarcasm in Johann’s voice on that one].
I think in the US, today you have a fee on wire transfer and afee on checks. In Europe it’s the reverse. Just switch the fees from wire to checks and you will destroy check printing.
Q: Yeah, I had never thought of it and was surprised that Infosource was going to send me a check rather than direct deposit. I had no idea there was a fee.
JH: Right, when we first had a bank account in the US, we were so used to doing wire transfer that’s what we did. Then we got the invoice for the monthly bank changes and thought, “Wow, we haven’t had bank charges for years.” For us, that was a step back from an electronic to a paper-based “workflow”.
Q: I had another question about paper, but I think we already covered that.
JH: Yes. Well, the decline of paper is a reality. We’ve talked about it for such a long time, it happened slower than expected. The hardware industry had more time to adapt, though some didn’t adapt well.
Q: One reason I’ve been leery about the downshift in paper is that I read a report a few years ago (2017ish) that said office paper consumption was on the rise.
JH: There was a shift from in-house printing to letting print houses do the printing, so there was a wave of acquisitions where print houses moved to acquire resources for printing bank statements and so on. But that was really, I think, just a temporary event and bump.
One of the COVID impacts is the postal service being slow. You easily get agreement to send electronically signed documents. No one wants to see an original with a wet signature, everyone accepts PDFs with an electronic signature.
Q: I will say that in selling my house I had to drive an hour away to sign the final documents at the title company, even though every other single document was done electronically.
JH:I bought a house 5 years ago. The notary handed over a tablet with the paper and we signed it, but then two weeks later he sent us the official deed of the house that was printed, but the process was entirely electronic.
Q: I find 3-D printing fascinating, can you talk about it at all?
JH: I had a very interesting experience about 2 years ago when I went to see Konica Minolta and they asked me about 3-D printing. Their idea on 3-D printing was different. There is 3-D printing of objects and 3-D printing on objects, instead of a flat surface like paper or textiles or vinyl. There’s a wide range of applications with very different natures. You have bio printing in the medical field – you print teeth, you print bones. You can print a vascular system. You could print a heart, but you’d have to find a way to contract it. In automotive and aeronautical you have a variety of components being printed. there is metal ink.
You can print 3-D selfies. [A quick Google search showed a number of places where you can turn yourself into an action figure. Here’s one.] That’s the fun part and it might be the “fun” things that are the most quickly adopted moving forward.
Every area has a limited number of manufacturers, and it’s a wide range of niche markets. You don’t have a lot of competition. Most of the companies cover a market and when you look for 3-D printing a specific application, you have a choice between one or two, maybe three, options. There’s not really a high demand for the type of market data we usually supply to companies. We are strong where you have a lot of competition and where everyone wants to know how good their machines are compared to others. When they bring out a new machine, how well is it perceived in the market, how well it’s been selling compared to the competition.
We follow the 3-D market and the trends and our analysts are well-informed, but even though we follow the market, there’s not a need for our services. At least yet.
Q: As more money flows into 3-D printing, because there’s cool stuff you can do. I could see applications for car parts being 3-D printed in remote garages, for instance, even though who knows if 3-D printing will ever penetrate the home market.
JH: As the prices of the hardware become more affordable, probably. There needs to be a need and affordability. When they come together, the market will develop. For prototype printing, that’s something that works because it’s cheaper to print the prototype than to carve it. Especially with 3-D design tools that exist. In the past, you’d need a block and you’d cut out the prototype. Now you can print the prototype and it’s less material and cheaper material involved.
In the past we talked about home brew computers, now you have home brew 3-D printers.
Of course, you can print a gun, and that’s the downside. You can find the plans on the Dark Web.
Q: I’m still fascinated that if you’re a lazy cybercriminal you can get software-as-a-service for ransomware on the Dark Web. I’ve always thought 3-D printing would be great for home repairs, like I needed to repair my gas fireplace to sell my house and they had to order the part and it took two weeks
JH: I think that’s clearly where we are heading. if you come with your car and you have that model, year, and maybe have the frame number, etc.; likely in the near future you can have your spare part printed. In some ways it’s great, but in another way it’s going to kill the warehousing industry who stock and store these parts. I’ve seen people creating new parts for a range of things and there’s a lot of imagination. It’s always going to be small volumes. There’s going to be lots of printings, but of small volumes of one or two objects. That will reduce waste because things won’t be produced and then thrown away once they are out of date.
It’s an industry that’s looking to find applications. Spare part printing, medical, and prototyping are areas that are showing promise. I think there was an airplane produced with a majority of 3-D printed parts. You know here in Geneva, we have CERN. Every year they have an open door and you can go down. They said what they build down there, 99% of it is hand-made. You can’t go to a shop for what they need. They’re creating the materials, metal parts, screws, etc.
Q: You’re not going to go to aisle 12 in Home Depot and find a solution that’s going to keep atoms from colliding and then creating a black hole that consumes the Earth.
JH: Kidding aside, I think at some point we may get to downloading a design and you take it to a 3-D printer and a short time later you have what you want. There will need to be some creative minds stimulating us about what could be done. The average user, like myself, we just haven’t figured out how far we can go.

San Miguel Mountain, part of Nacimiento Ridge in the Jemez Mountains
Redondo Peak (left of center) as seen from the trail to the top of San Miguel Mountain
An uphill but easy hike along a little-used two-track, to the top of a high point along Nacimiento Ridge. Depending on how far you go, the round trip is roughly five to six miles. Once at the top you can see Cabezón, Mount Taylor, and the eastern Colorado Plateau through breaks in the trees. The total elevation gain is about 900 feet. The entire hike is above 8500 feet so a good mid-summer hike (except during thunderstorms) and remote enough that you probably won't encounter anyone during the hike. The parking spot should be reachable by high-clearance vehicles except in winter.
A hiking pole is optional. The trash along this route isn't bad, but please bring along a garbage bag and pick up litter on the return trip.
Heading north from San Ysidro on NM 4, turn off on NM 485 (which becomes FR 376) and head past the Gilman Tunnels. Close to Porter Landing, at 35 deg. 48.996 min. N, 106 deg. 47.256 min. W, turn left (west) onto FR 534. Turn left again at 35 deg. 49.230 min. N, 106 deg. 47.620 min. W, and once again at 35 deg. 49.401 min. N, 47.243 min. W.
At 35 deg. 49.069 min. N, 106 deg. 49.800 min. W (La Cueva Camp), curve right and stay on the main road. Turn right again at 35 deg. 50.674 min. N, 106 deg. 51.332 min. W and continue to 35 deg. 50.941 min. N, 106 deg. 51.304 min. W, where a two-track to the left extends up a side valley. Pull off the main road and park here (elevation 8590 feet).
For the actual hike, follow the two-track that extends northwest and up the side valley from your parking spot. The farther you go, the sketchier the track gets for vehicles, but it's an easy and obvious route for hikers. At first you will be hiking through woods and mountain glades, but as you go higher the view will open up. The top of the mountain is at 35 deg. 51.932 min. N, 106 deg. 51.962 min. W (9473 feet). The summit is marked by a small, fallen wood structure and a couple of brass reference markers.
Once at the summit you can turn around and return the way you came, or you can go a bit farther along the two-track. At 35 deg. 51.700 min. N, 106 deg. 52.258 min W the two-track splits. The right (north) fork wanders downhill and will eventually take you to the flatlands (it might make a good alernative hike, but I haven't checked it out). Instead, turn right and at some point leave the two-track to check out the ridgeline to your right. Enjoy the views of the southeastern Colorado Plateau through breaks in the trees, and have lunch before retracing your steps. The recommended turnaround point for this hike is 35 deg. 51.538 min. N, 106 deg. 52.423 min. W.

HomeEco-vehicles BusesMercedes-Benz will supply 56 electric bus eCitaro to Wiesbaden
Mercedes-Benz will supply 56 electric bus eCitaro to Wiesbaden
20 April 2019 Buses, Eco-vehicles 0
Record-breaking order to Mercedes-Benz for the electric urban bus eCitaro received by ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH from Wiesbaden.
As a provider of comprehensive electromobility solutions, Mercedes‑Benz doesn’t just deliver electric buses, it also takes care of the adaptation of the service yard, the equipment and setting up of charging infrastructure, as well as the charging management process itself.
eCitaro: a new record and pioneering achievement using new battery technology
Ulrich Bastert, Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services at Daimler Buses:
Due to its outstanding features, the new eCitaro has won through in no time. Wiesbaden’s invitation to tender however also shows the systemic challenges involved in the introduction of e-mobility, which we are happy to play a part in.
Frank Gäfgen, Managing Director at ESWE:
We are now starting to realise our vision of emission-free driving in Wiesbaden’s public transport. And in this regard, we want to take the lead in Germany.
The order is the newest record in the large-scale order for 56 buses from ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH in Wiesbaden. The state capital of Hesse will receive the first ten eCitaro buses from the order this year already, while the remaining buses will be delivered next year.
The first 15 eCitaro for Wiesbaden will be equipped with current-generation lithium-ion batteries. These are NMC batteries (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide cells). Each eCitaro is equipped with twelve battery packs with a total capacity of 292 kWh.
The remaining 41 eCitaro will be equipped with solid-state batteries. With this new battery technology, the eCitaro once again takes on a leading role, and is even among the pioneers in automotive construction. Solid-state batteries have a very high energy density. In this case, seven battery packs are sufficient in order to provide a huge battery capacity of 441 kWh. Even in winter when faced with the difficult demands of using all-electric heating, the eCitaro can still cover more than 200 km according to the SORT 2 testing method. All 56 buses are charged by plug in the depot.
Electric bus and infrastructure from a single source
A special aspect here is that Mercedes-Benz has taken on the role of general contractor, supplying the complete system including the construction measures for the infrastructure – a first in Germany. In this context, the existing depot will be reorganised, modified and successively equipped with charging stations for the buses. Planned tasks even include building the transformer station for converting medium-voltage to low-voltage electricity as well as the installation of cables on the site.
Ulrich Bastert:
Using the example of Wiesbaden, we want to gain a full and detailed understanding of introducing e-mobility in all of its multiple aspects in order to derive new ideas on how to optimise the overall system. But particularly due to limited capacity, this is going to remain an exception at least for the foreseeable future.
Charging management is also part of the order. It will be realised together with the Berlin-based partner company IVU Traffic Technologies, a renowned specialist for customised IT solutions. First of all, this involves assigning each bus a defined charging point upon arrival at the depot. Smart charging management ensures that all buses are charged with the necessary amount of electricity for their next trip. This also includes preconditioning, i.e. the temperature control of the passenger compartment and batteries, and thus ensures maximum efficiency. Vehicle servicing for ESWE’s eCitaro buses will be carried out in co-operation with Taunus Auto Verkauf AG (TAV) located in the immediate vicinity.
ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH and Mercedes-Benz: a close and successful business partnership
ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH operates Wiesbaden’s local public transport and has a fleet of 271 buses. With 41 bus lines, its buses transport nearly 60 million passengers a year. Of its roughly 1100 employees, two thirds work in the transport service. With the introduction of the eCitaro, ESWE is putting an ambitious plan into effect: within just one year, the company is changing a fifth of its bus fleet to fully electric vehicles.
The majority of the vehicles in the fleet are Mercedes-Benz Citaro.

What We Learned (the Hard Way) about Supervising Volunteers
An Action Guide to Making Your Job Easier
By Jarene Frances Lee with Julia M. Catagnus
Teach everyone in the organization how to be successful in working side-by-side with volunteers
Explain expectations and set standards for volunteer work performance
Move from supervision to coaching, supporting, and facilitating volunteer/employee teams
Book Display Tabs
Packed with the advice, wisdom, and experience of over 85 real-life, on-the-job supervisors of volunteers, this guide offers a crystal clear analysis of what works and what doesn't in supervision. It also includes comments from volunteers about what they need from those who supervise them, as well as excerpts from classic articles and books by experts in the field and a self-assessment survey covering the attitudes and actions necessary to be an effective supervisor.
Energize has always been aware that the hands-on experiences of individual volunteer administrators are rich with ideas and tips that can inspire others in the field. Supervising Volunteers is the first book which attempts to facilitate the sharing of this valuable material.

Older Volunteers Aging in Place
From What We Learned (the Hard Way) about Supervising Volunteers, Energize, Inc, 1999, p.108
1. Older Volunteers/Aging in Place
Older volunteers are a tremendous asset and potential talent pool. First, recognize that today’s "senior" needs to be approached by level of activity, not just date of birth:
Young seniors are often very active and fully capable of helping in any volunteer role. In fact, they can apply all sorts of formerly job-connected skills and devote lots of time to your organization. Female seniors in this age range may well have workplace credentials as well as homemaker talents.
Middle seniors may still be very competent, but may also have health, sight or hearing problems. They may limit their driving. They may also be resistant to things like electronic technology (though don’t assume this—many seniors love the Internet).
Older seniors are the fastest growing age category in our society. Everyone ages differently, but many of these volunteers may have limited physical capacity.
A related, but sometimes more problematic category, is the volunteer who is “aging in place.” This is someone who joined you when s/he was younger and fit, but has grown older and now has diminished capacity. The quandary, of course, is that you feel loyalty to a volunteer who has contributed many hours of devoted service and it is awkward to have to confront the changes in ability that age may bring. But for the sake of your service recipients and the volunteer personally, you must find ways to balance the best interests of everyone.
Supervision tips:
Know the volunteer’s sight and hearing limits and give written material or oral instructions with this in mind.
Pay attention to physical fatigue and talk with the volunteer about his/her strength and endurance.
When possible, buddy them up with younger volunteers. This technique is especially good for volunteers “aging in place,” who know the job but could benefit from some support and perhaps oversight.
Insist on a rotation policy for everyone so that no volunteer becomes so entrenched in one assignment that it’s impossible to make a change. Offer an “aging in place” volunteer an alternate assignment that makes use of long-time service, such as helping with new volunteer orientation—but only if s/he would be good at it!
Don't ignore a deteriorating situation. Sometimes starting a concerned (but caring) conversation gives the volunteer the opening to admit to feeling insecure and less able to do the work s/he formerly considered a breeze.
Only when appropriate, consider involving the volunteer's grown children in approaching their parent about changing abilities, or even the family physician.

Smart Water Meters
By Darren A. Cooper
A key to going Net Zero by 2050, gain control, save money and help the environment with greater visibility into water flow.
© nordroden - stock.adobe.com
With Canada on the path to investing millions of dollars to increase efficiencies, sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint, smart water meters are stepping-in and replacing conventional, mechanical meters.
These next generation water meters offer immediate end-user benefits with more detailed and accurate consumption data, and with greater visibility of their water use, consumers are better equipped to change their behaviour, consume less and see results on their monthly bills.
The days when water was simply consumed without constraint at a low yearly cost is long gone. Water is a precious and limited resource that can and must be metered as accurately as possible to promote conservation.
The powerful information businesses will gain using smart versus mechanical water metering will provide companies with the insight needed to know where to focus their operational efforts and goals.
Providing real-time updates, smart water meters allow businesses, or property managers for example, to monitor their water usage as it happens. Through an online dashboard, they can understand when and where water in the building is used. Monthly, daily and real-time consumption can also be displayed in easy-to-understand graphs.
The increased access to information provides visibility for businesses right through to the end-user to discover problems a lot sooner and evaluate improvements easier than with traditional mechanical metering.
Modern ultrasonic water meters are accurate, quick and simple to use, and once businesses adopt monitoring methods, they’ll find more opportunities to optimize their water usage, have less waste, conserve energy and save money.
Treating and delivering water takes a lot of energy. Running the hot water faucet for five minutes uses about the same amount of energy as burning a 60-watt bulb for 14 hours.
Traditional water meters are not only less accurate than smart meters, but they tend to lose accuracy over time. The equipment must be replaced every 15-20 years on average.
One of the biggest water management problems for utilities is inaccurate readings. They can result in inaccurate billing and many customer complaints.
A smart meter is more sensitive to low water flows, making it noticeably more accurate and providing in-depth reports. In contrast, a traditional water meter measures total consumption of a building or home, meaning leaks are difficult to detect and customers struggle to pinpoint inefficiencies.
Imagine a scenario where a company’s heating system is leaking water. If the problem goes unnoticed in the basement, the building manager is on the hook for thousands of gallons of wasted water, resulting in an unnecessary expense, potential water damage and mould and humidity issues.
Now imagine that same building manager has the ability to detect that the water has been running in the basement at this facility for the past 24 hours. Detecting, managing and fixing this utility issue in a timely manner not only helps solve a wasteful situation, but it also alleviates other potential complications to the building and its occupants.
Traditional water meters do not perform well when it comes to detecting and measuring low flows, missing the mark and signal on detecting leaks. The new generation smart water metering technologies are sensitive to low flows making them more reliable at detecting and reporting leaks.
“Smart Meter with Ears”
Non-revenue water, or lost water, through physical losses such as leaks in water mains has been an ongoing problem for both municipal and multi-storey building water systems. Many utilities and building owners have struggled to locate these leaks, which are like finding a needle in a haystack.
New acoustic leak-detection technologies use sound waves to help locate leaks in distribution systems and prioritize leak repair by identifying the largest leaks. Having the means to target the problem area(s) for repair or replacement is important for effective building management and water conservation.
Kamstrup, a Danish company with more than 25 years of experience with metering and devices, and a third-party agency conducted a survey among 37 utilities in Northern Europe, finding that 31% of the water loss comes from leaks in service connections and 36% from leaks on distribution mains.
Driven by this data, Kampstrup developed a system that combines smart metering and acoustic leak detection technologies. These hybrid meters, “Smart Meters with Ears”, are not a substitute for traditional acoustic leak detection technologies, but rather they are complementary in that they target the areas that have an increased risk of a leakage and will require further investigation, enabling a more targeted effort to reduce water loss.
Cleaner & Greener
Smart metering provides a basis for businesses to improve their daily consumption and overall building operations. With a better understanding of usage, it’s easier to see where small changes can be made to reduce energy consumption and lower energy emissions. This leads to lower bill payments and a smaller carbon footprint.
Smart metering also opens the door to better manage the supply and demand of energy to reduce waste, and also shift energy usage away from traditional peak times – which are currently reliant on fossil fuel energy, making more use of renewables.
Smart meters also provide more flexibility to businesses. By monitoring usage through collecting, analyzing and reporting on consumption, supply and demand, it can then be determined how to save water during peak times or other significant times of the year.
We all want an energy system that is geared to the future, not the past. And to make big changes, sometimes we have to start small. Smart meters can’t solve climate change on their own, but with a smarter, more efficient energy system they help to create a noticeable step in the right direction.
