Affordable Housing in London
Affordable Housing: Why more homes are needed?
Supply of new homes is failing to keep pace with demand
England is currently suffering from a huge housing shortage, especially in terms of social rented housing. This shortage is due to the fact that low rates of house building over several decades have failed to keep up with increasing demand. Large amounts of social housing stock have also been sold off under the Right to Buy and not replaced.
Housing demand has increased for several reasons, such as:
- greater numbers of single person households
- a population which is living for longer
- increased levels of net immigration
Affordable Housing: Delivering the homes and communities people want
It is critical that any new homes benefit new and existing communities. This means building the right kind of homes, in the right places. At present, there is a shortage of decent, family-sized accommodation. It is also vital that a significant proportion of new housing is affordable, and this means building social housing for rent.
New homes must be desirable places to live. We want to avoid repeating mistakes of the 1960s and 1970s where the quality of housing developments was sometimes sacrificed in a drive to build homes quickly. New developments must include the necessary supporting infrastructure and services to create thriving communities, and should be built to high environmental standards.
Affordable Housing: Where Does it come from?
The Government committed to a target of building three million new homes by 2020, this was back in 2007.
In the past, local authorities created affordable housing. As part of subsequent resident buy back schemes they have withdrawn from this undertaking.
The private sector has now been delivering affordable housing. The London Plan currently calls for 50% affordable housing on all new developments above 10 units. The reality maybe more like 35% subject to local authority.
Due to less new developments this has reduced the amount of affordable housing delivered.
Housing Associations are the not for profit organisations that own and manage the affordable housing. They also undertake development of 100% affordable housing schemes.
Affordable Housing: The Standards
Families in Affordable housing typically have much reduced choice. As such there are many safe guards for quality in affordable housing as definded by the Homes & Communities Agency.
Design and Quality Standards, including Life Times Homes and Code for Sustainable Design. These documents define minimum space standards, levels of access and sustainability, which relates to running costs and general impact on society of the development.

It was a week packed with big headlines in the theater world so we’re going to do the news round-up “lightning round” style. Ready, set…Go!
- The “revised” Porgy and Bess opened last night to rave reviews for Audra McDonald. Expect awards to come her way at the end of the season given that she has been Tony-nominated for an astonishing 86% of her eligible performances (at least by my highly suspect math). Take that, Meryl Streep.
- The new production of Godspell released it’s cast album on iTunes featuring the ever-adorable Hunter Parrish. I mention this mainly just to publish a picture of Hunter.
- Producers announced that the new musical Leap of Faith starring Raul Esparza will make a surprise early Broadway entrance this April, well ahead of its planned Fall arrival. Methinks somebody sees an open field for the Best Musical Tony award.
- Disney is going back Into the Woods. The decades long “will they or won’t they” battle for a movie version of the Sondheim/Lapine classic is back on thanks to a press release announcing that Rob Marshall (Chicago) is attached to direct as a part of a two year deal with the studio. No offense but a brief suggestion, Rob…I know you love working with him and he’s done Sondheim before but I don’t need to hear Johnny Depp sing “No More”.
- Victoria Clark (Light in the Piazza) will replace Bernadette Peters as “Sally” in the current revival of Follies for the Los Angeles run. I love my B but that is some spot on, get on a red-eye to the west coast worthy casting.
Speaking of Follies, have you heard the delicious Elaine Paige interview her co-star Ron Raines for the American Theatre Wing’s “Downstage Center” Podcast Series? Paige is a hoot with a whiskey laugh and fearless opinions about her pay, her part and a certain King and I co-star.
- In the “sometimes decisions get made for you” column: Jeremy Jordan will indeed seize the day and star in the Broadway production of Newsies this March. There was concern that he might need to bow out thanks to his leading role in another Broadway show, Bonnie & Clyde. A higher power (ie. low ticket sales) intervened and Jordan is free to star in his second show of the season.
- And in case you were wondering how Leap of Faith managed to secure a theater in an overstuffed Broadway season, remember the old “when one door closes, God opens a window” saying? The current “revisal” of On a Clear Day (You Can See My Sex Change) announced it will be closing January 29. Mixing metaphors horribly, the patient isn’t even dead yet and Leap jumped through that window.

Barking Deer are becoming regular visitors on the hillside behind Cardamom House, where there is good cover in the dense vegetation. Occasionally they appear in the clearings above the rocks. More often, we hear them but don’t spot them!
Posts Tagged: Landscapes
What do you do when you fancy a change of scene and a slightly cooler environment? You go on a picnic of course. A group of us headed into the hills, returning via Padrimalai. It gave us a chance to look at the other side of our mountain.
When possible, we offer an optional guided tour of Athoor Village. This cannot be pre-booked. If interested please contact a staff member. The tour is conducted by an experienced guide, generally in the morning, as there is more to see and it’s cooler. Things to be seen change from day to day. For example, schools are closed on Sundays. On the tour you might visit the goat herders’ village; the local primary school; Athoor Village Square; the Catholic Church; small temples. Local industries include brick making and chamber kilns; sari making on… Read more »
Some of you who have visited Cardamom House may recall Chris talking about being an extra in a Tamil film!. The staff team also have tales to recalls about their encounters with screen stars. The environments around the house and the lake are superb locations for filming. Sometimes the ‘peace’ of the countryside is disturbed by the repeated strains from the latest hit competing with the cackle of the kingfisher, as they reverberate either from the lake or the temple. On investigation, we discover the incongruity of a film set, with… Read more »

Polypropylene fiber maker Synthetic Industries Inc. said it will spend $35 million to increase the size of its largest building to 1 million square feet and its employment to 2,000 people. The 135,000-square-foot addition to the Chickamauga, Tenn., plant is scheduled to be completed by late 1996. It is the 12th expansion of a building that opened in 1969 and is located south of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Originally 51,000 square feet, the building was expanded to more than 800,000 square feet by 1994.
Privately held Synthetic has seven facilities, of which the facility in Chickamauga is the largest.
It also operates a warehouse and manufacturing facility in Dalton, Ga., one manufacturing plant each in Ringgold, Ga., and in Chattanooga, and three manufacturing sites in the Gainesville, Ga., area.
Synthetic Industries produces PP carpet backing for most major carpet manufacturers, as well as PP geotextile fabrics for erosion control and environmental protection.
Marketing manager Frank Hollowell said the majority of the expansion involves increased loom capacity.
Company officials would not reveal the amount of loom capacity increase.
Hollowell said 100 employees will be added to the 1,900 employed at the facility.
Synthetic Industries received ISO 9002 certification last year.

What can this charter do for us?
–No sales tax increases without a vote of the people first: Twice over the last eight years the county commissioners tried to increase the county’s sales tax through emergency measures. This charter insures that no county wide tax can be passed until the voters approve it in a November election.
–Non-partisan officials: Takes the political parties influence away from the county offices and gives the positions back to the people.
–Streamlining government: Cutting elected officials salaries and combining some of the county offices will potentially save the taxpayers over $500,000 a year. This money can be better used to reduce the county’s debts and provide the services that we pay for and deserve like safety forces.
–Better representation: Replaces the three county commissioners with seven part time district councilmen who represent every area of the county.
–County meetings to be held in evenings: This will allow more people to take an active roll in our local government by actually being able to attend council meetings.
–Law Director– There will be a law director who will be able to handle all civil matters for the county and townships. This will potentially save some townships out of pocket legal costs that they currently incur.
–Economic Development- There will be an economic development department to centralize efforts to grow our county’s workforce. We will take ownership of growing our local economy instead of outsourcing this task to people outside of our county who might not have our best interests at heart.
–Term limits– All elected officials will be limited to three consecutive terms. After third term official cannot take job with the county for one year nor run for another county office for one year. This will stop the creation of beaurocrats within our local government.
– All agreements and partnerships by current board of commissioners shall be revisited by the council to decide to keep or remove: This allows the new leadership of our county to access the past practices of the former leadership and make any changes they feel necessary to move our county forward.
–Charter review commission: This allows the system of government to be looked at from time to time in order to keep the government streamlined and effective in servicing the public.

Despite its reputation, Islam does not necessitate violence in many of its countries. In some, however, the combination of religious doctrine, totalitarian regimes, and inefficient public policies result in a public display of violence that smears the reputation of all groups affiliated with the religion.
Perhaps nowhere is that seen more readily than in Saudi Arabia, where “public displays of violence” appear not only as the norm – but state-sanctioned punitive acts. Floggings, amputation, beheading, and even crucifixion itself are commonly practiced public exhibitions of severity and ferocity. This is nothing new for the nation, though they are increasing the frequency of their executions at a frightening pace. In this year alone, they broke the record for greatest number of executions in one day – a record they themselves set almost 30 years ago. The record was broken through the execution of 47 people in 13 cities – for crimes of being both Sunni and accused Al-Queda operatives.
SPI is dedicated to making a difference in the nation of Saudi Arabia, and bring an end to these atrocities.
Sign onto our new letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry today, and help lead the way to a more peaceful Saudi Arabia!

Rates of mental health disorder for frontline health workers will rapidly increase as a result of COVID-19, says GlobalData
Healthcare workers around the world have reported a significant increase in mental health disorders as a result of COVID-19, and rates will continue to rise steeply
Shabnam Pervez, analyst at GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, offers her view:
“As COVID-19 continually spreads, the impact on key workers’ mental health has proven to be detrimental in published research by JAMA. Healthcare workers around the world have reported a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) being a primary contributor towards their mental health. There is a global mask shortage due to increased demand from the public, with reduced number of N95 masks available for frontline healthcare workers. According to GlobalData analysis, around 5.6bn N95 respirator masks are in demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, and up to 49bn globally.
“The growth of face masks demand will continually increase and according to GlobalData, prices are expected to go down due to market competition. The market leading creators of the N95 mask, 3M, are currently increasing production to help meet the requirements but this will not be an overnight process. GlobalData expects the current spend for disposable hospital supplies to increase substantially from the current estimate of $16.4 billion, with a potential additional $8 billion spend worldwide.”
“The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced there is no need for use of the N95 mask outside healthcare settings. The shortage of masks in the US, has led to the CDC implementing unprecedent measures as their recommendations now include requesting workers to reuse their masks, create homemade masks and use refuse bags as protective gowns. In the UK, healthcare workers have been told to ration masks and use one mask between two workers to preserve PPE.”

Digital documents are not just property, but they are part of a person's "digital self," said Nuala O'Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology. "It's not just going to be email," she said. "Ten years from now ... every thought and every communication and every transaction I do will be online. That's not a business record -- that's my life."
Instead of serving a search warrant on Microsoft, the DOJ should work through its mutual assistance agreement with the government of Ireland to gain access to the records, Smith argued. Microsoft will comply with a legal request from Ireland for records stored in an Irish data center, he said.
The technology of global storage may change the way search warrants work, suggested retired TV anchor Charlie Gibson, who served as a moderator at Monday's event. "This is a whole new world" since Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act in 1986, Gibson said. "Nobody has to go to Ireland to get it. It can be retrieved by a simple keystroke."
While the technology has changed, long-held privacy principles should not, said Andrew Pincus, a partner at the Mayer Brown and an advisor to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other trade groups. If a U.S. bank had a branch in Ireland "no one in the world" would think that a search warrant would allow U.S. investigators to demand document stored in a safe-deposit box in the Irish bank, he said.
"The question is, should that change in technology automatically, without anyone thinking about it, effect a huge expansion of the U.S., government's power at the expense of other nations?" Pincus said.
Internet users' information is stored with many companies, Gibson noted. He suggested people may need to trust the government they elected "to be judicious" about the information they try to collect. "We basically have to put our faith in somebody, don't we?"
Panelists pointed to the widespread surveillance by the U.S. National Security Agency leaked by former contractor Edward Snowden.
"There have got to be rules, and rules have got be followed," the Center for Democracy and Technology's O'Connor said. "Just because the technology allows us unfettered access into voluminous amount of data that's out there about people's lives does not mean [the government] should have unfettered access to it."

Brisket Smoker Recipes FAQ’s
Generally speaking it’s good to aim for 1/2 pound of brisket per person, depending on sides and the appetite of your guests. Kid will usually eat a bit less than that, and some adults with bigger appetites might eat up to 3/4 pound of brisket.
How Long to Smoke a Brisket at 225?
If your BBQ smoker is set to 225F it will cook at around 1.5 to 2 hours per pound (0.45kg). If your trimmed brisket weighs 10 pounds the cook time will be around 15 hours. When smoking you should always check internal temperature for final accuracy, as the conditions will vary each time you cook.
The ideal internal temperature for brisket is 203°F or 95°C, but a brisket can be done in the range of 200-210°F. Anything beyond 210°F is potentially overcooked. Also keep in mind that the brisket will continue to cook for a while after it is removed from the grills meaning that the internal temp will go up 5-10°F before eventually cooling down.
You may wish to take the brisket off the grills at around 195°F for this reason.
When Should I Wrap my Brisket?
Wrap your brisket around 165-170°F internal temperature. This will ultimately shorten the overall cook time, help you avoid the stall, and keep your brisket moist and juicy.

I've have joined in with the Stretch my Dies classes, these are the first ones I've done. I've always been put off by the thought of watching you tubes for ages while the card is made. But was impressed that they rarely went over ten minutes, there's also a pdf download for each class.
While some of the things I already knew but it was nice to be reminded but has I said in a previous post there were a few things that I didn't think off.
One of them was to use several dies to make a background, although I didn't make a background, more like a little scene with the Simon Says Stamps with the sun in colour and sunshine die set, the little birds from Home Building die set. Also my favourite die which is permanently on my desk Lavish Branch from Memory box.
The sheet of patterned paper was left over from a card and although the class one used plain card I love how this turned out apart from the sentiment which need one over the top. Some matching sequins and job done.
Can I just say that the sentiment may look sloping but I can say honestly its straight, its the photographer whose done a bad job.
Back at 1pm with Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge.

Securities regulators have sent subpoenas to hedge funds, specialized trading shops and other firms as they probe possible insider trading before the U.S. government's long-term credit rating was cut last month, people familiar with the matter said.
Securities and Exchange Commission officials demanded more information about specific trades made shortly before Standard & Poor's Corp. downgraded the U.S. to double-A-plus from triple-A on Aug. 5, these people said. SEC officials are zeroing in on firms that bet the stock market would tumble.

Wine trains seem to be quite the trend in 2017 with the Uncorked line in North Carolina and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. But the country’s most notable wine region isn’t one to be outdone. The Napa Valley Wine Train, which of course always serves wine, is converting to a full on Polar Express Santa train.
While the Napa Valley Wine Train normally only allows adult passengers of drinking age, the Santa Train welcomes children for a scenic, cheery ride through Napa Valley. Passengers will join Santa, elves, and Jolly the Bear on this hour and a half journey to the “North Pole” while singing along and admiring gorgeous wine country. This family-friendly event features hot cocoa, freshly baked cookies and other offerings including musical entertainment, games, a photo booth, and a toy teddy bear for the kids. At the end of the ride, children will receive a Jolly the Bear Christmas ornament to take home.
But most importantly, there’s wine.
It’s only logical that the wine-fueled train ride phenomenon originated in Napa Valley, one of the largest wine-producing regions in the country. The Santa train is a natural next step in the wine train takeover of 2017.
Tickets go for $39, and the Santa Train will run from November 18th through December 29th. However, the train will not run on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Children, make sure you’re on your best behavior because Santa will be watching.


When someone my age decides that massacring co-workers is the logical next step in their life, I wonder at how drastically different their life must be from mine.
Sayed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were married and had stable jobs. They left behind a 6 month old baby girl when they gunned down 14 people at a Christmas party.
My wife and I are about to have a baby. What would have to happen in our lives to leave our brand new baby behind, destroying our family and 14 others?
I really don’t want to know. The emotional turmoil that leads to murderous conclusions is not something I want to taste.
Somewhere they lost hope for themselves, for society, but more importantly, they lost hope for their daughter. Or they placed their hope in an extremist idea that murder would create a better tomorrow.
Either way Sayed and Tashfeen have greased their daughter’s grip on hope before she ever got to know who her parents were. Coming to terms with her parents’ actions won’t be easy. I hope she has a strong family and community around her as she grows up, one that is honest but gentle.
Contrast Sayed and Tashfeen with Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg. The day before shots rang out in San Bernardino, Priscilla and Mark announced that they are giving 99% of their Facebook shares to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a corporation the couple started to invest in education and healthcare.
Priscilla and Mark posted an open letter to their daughter, Max, on Facebook. It opens with:
“Your mother and I don’t yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future.”
Priscilla and Mark are acting on the inspiration that their daughter delivered. They want to mirror the hope she sparks in them. You can criticize their motives or the technical implementation of their “charity,” but it is still an action that is fixated on something bigger than themselves.
Both couples have left a deep legacy for their daughters.
We have to be careful about how we let either couple affect our own hope.
* * *
To those who were directly affected by the San Bernardino shooting, you have a healing process to face. Hope will get you through it, but I don’t expect you to take my word for it. I hope there are professionals and family available to walk with you back to strength.
The rest of us have the comfortable distance of digital devices to protect us from the immediate horror. We have an easy choice to make about how each couple will affect our lives. And the right answer would be to let them have very little, if any effect on our lives.
* * *
Hope is an anchor. It is an idea that you hold close, anticipating that it will pull you to where you want to be.
Charles R. Snyder talked about hope as a “dynamic cognitive motivational system.” What you think about feeds your hope. He said that you needed motivation (the will) and a workable strategy (a way) to keep hope alive. You have to see a way out and want to get out. When your thoughts have dug into possibilities, using failure as fuel for new approaches, hope will pull you through.
Loosing hope (or even resisting hope) because of people leaves you stranded and way off course. Allowing Sayed and Tashfeen to damage your focus on a better tomorrow adds another casualty to their list of victims.
The power of hope comes from the strength of what you’re anchored in. Hope that is in something bigger than humanity wins. There’s no safety being anchored in people. Celebrities and saints are subject to storms, just the same as you.
Generosity is worth putting hope in — not generous acts (like donating 99% of your shares in Facebook), but the bigger reality that generosity can change the world.
Mercy is worth putting hope in — not merciful acts, but the bigger reality that mercy triumphs where condemnation fails.
Kindness is worth putting hope in — not kind acts, but the bigger reality that kindness will turn someone’s day around and even launch a friendship.
Holding on to a better tomorrow motivates you to become part of what makes tomorrow better. When grief comes, grieve. But don’t let the source of grief damage your picture of a better tomorrow. That picture is going to help you heal and show your daughters and sons why hope is so powerful.


Kayaker hanging from tree rescued in Huron Township – The News Herald
Rescuers from several area police and fire departments worked as a team to rescue a kayaker who had fallen into the Huron River and was clinging to a tree.
The incident occurred around 7 p.m. on June 27 when members of the Huron Township police and fire departments were dispatched to the 22000 block of Bell Road for a kayaker in distress in the river.
The victim was described as holding onto a tree, without a life jacket.
Members of the Huron Township Fire Department responded and rescued the kayaker safely at around 7:40 p.m. using the service’s lifeboat.
Authorities said the initial investigation said the victim had a life jacket in the kayak, but lost it when the boat capsized.
As part of the mutual aid, the Fire Departments of Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Woodhaven and Rockwood assisted ashore in the rescue operation.
Public Safety Director Everette Robbins said the 16-foot lifeboat was put into active service in January, and it was the second successful rescue this season.
âWe have trained several of our firefighters to operate the boat so that we can respond quickly in case a rescue effort is required,â said Robbins. âWhile the river can not seem very intimidating at times, it is important that people on the water wear a personal flotation device at all times. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that these incidents happen quickly and without warning. We are grateful that we were able to bring the victim safely to land. “
Robbins thanked each of the first responders who took part in the effort, putting themselves in danger.
âWe also feel extremely fortunate to have a community that supports its public safety service,â Robbins said. âThis support allows us to purchase and maintain the tools we need to do the job safely, which in turn saves lives.

For best results, a build sheet for a 3D printer’s print bed should be handled and stored by the edges only. To help make that easier, [Whity] created the Expandable Steel Sheet Holder system that can store sheets efficiently without touching their main surfaces, and has a clever mechanism for ejecting them at the push of a button.
The design is 3D printable and made to be screwed to the bottom of a shelf, which is great for space saving. It can also be extended to accommodate as many sheets as one wishes, and there’s a clever method for doing that.
Once the first unit is fastened to a shelf, adding additional units later is as simple as screwing them to the previous one with a few M3 bolts, thanks to captive nuts in the previously-mounted unit. It’s a thoughtful feature that makes it easy to expand after the fact. Since build sheets come in a variety of different textures and surfaces for different purposes, one’s collection does tends to grow.
[Joe] has created a weather gauge that uses two servo motors to position mechanical pointers to indicate weather symbols and time ranges. The electronics consists of a push button and two SG90 servos driven by a Raspberry Pi Zero W 2. The case is 3D printed including the pointers attached to the servos and the button brim of the switch. The Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 is programmed to automatically connect to the OpenWeather API to retrieve the latest weather conditions, with the latitude and longitude being configured into the update script during the configuration and assembly stages.
[Joe] has provided extensive documentation about the build and software setup, in addition to releasing the source code and STL files for anyone wanting to make their own. [Joe] even offers kits for those who don’t want to go through the trouble of putting one together themselves — not that we imagine many in this particular audience would fall into that category.
[Pinkman] creates a smart RGB table lamp based off of the “Odradek device” robot arm from the video game “Death Stranding”.
[Pinkman] adds a XIAO BLE nRF52840 Sense device, with Bluetooth support, microphone and TinyML capability. The nRF52840 is used to push data to the five WS2812 strips, one for each “blade” of the lamp, and also connects to a TTP223 capacitive touch controller to add touch input detection. The TinyML portion of the nRF52840 allows for custom keyword training to turn on the lamp with voice commands ([Pinkman] uses “Bling Bling”). [Pinkman] has also provided Bluetooth control, allowing the color and pattern to be changed from a phone application.
The lamp is 3D printed with the build being based off of [Nils Kal]’s Printables files. Each of the five blades has a white 3D-printed diffusor plate to help ease out the hot spots for the LED strip. The lamp is fully adjustable in addition to having cavities, channels and access points for “invisible” wiring. [Pinkman] has also upgraded the original 3D files to allow for the three wires needed to drive the WS2812, instead of the two wires that [Nils] had allotted in the original.
[Pinkman] has all of the code, STL files and training data available for download, so be sure to check it out. Lamps are a favorite of ours and we’ve featured our fair share, including 3D printed Shoji lamps and RGB wall lamps.
Got a pile of mixed hex nuts? Sort them in no time by printing [jonafriendj]’s nut sorter, which has options for pretty much any nut size you’d be after (it’s labeled metric, but actually includes Imperial sizes as well.)
Something to admire about the design is the handy little raised labels on each of the sieves, and the fact that all the parts print entirely without supports. Designing a part to play to a manufacturing method’s strengths (and avoid its weaknesses) is good DFM, or Design for Manufacturing.
With 3D printing being the boon that it is to workshops and hobbyists everywhere, it certainly pays to strive for good DFM, especially for designs meant to be shared with others. Sometimes good DFM takes a page from other manufacturing methods like injection molding, and we end up with things like using crush ribs on printed parts.
Storage technologies are a bit of an alphabet soup, with NAS, SAN, and DAS systems being offered. That’s Network Attached Storage, Storage Area Network, and Direct Attached Storage. The DAS is the simplest, just physical drives attached to a machine, usually in a separate box custom made for the purpose. That physical box can be expensive, particularly if you live on an island like [Nicholas Sherlock], where shipping costs can be prohibitively high. So what does a resourceful hacker do, particularly one who has a 3d printer? Naturally, he designs a conversion kit and turns an available computer case into a DAS.
There’s some clever work here, starting with the baseplate that re-uses the ATX screw pattern. Bolted to that plate are up to four drive racks, each holding up to four drives. So all told, you can squeeze 16 drives into a handy case. The next clever bit is the Voronoi pattern, an organic structure that maximizes airflow and structural strength with minimal filament. A pair of 140mm fans hold the drives at a steady 32C in testing, but that’s warm enough that ABS is the way to go for the build. Keep in mind that the use of a computer case also provides a handy place to put the power supply, which uses the pin-short trick to provide power.
Data is handled with 4 to 1 SATA to SAS breakout cables, internal to external SAS converters, and an external SAS cable to the host PC. Of course, you’ll need a SAS card in your host PC to handle the connections. Thankfully you can pick those up on ebay for $20 USD and up.
The Framework laptop project is known for quite a few hacker-friendly aspects. For example, they encourage you to reuse its motherboard as a single-board computer – making it into a viable option for your own x86-powered projects. They have published a set of CAD files for that, and people have been working on their own Framework motherboard-based creations ever since; our hacker, [whatthefilament], has already built a few projects around these motherboards. Today, he’s showing us the high-effort design that is the FrameTablet – a 15″ device packing an i5 processor, all in a fully 3D printed chassis. The cool part is – thanks to his instructions, you can build one yourself!
This tablet sports a FullHD touchscreen IPS display and shows some well-thought-out component mounting, using heat-set inserts and screws, increasing such a build’s mechanical longevity. You lose one of the expansion card slots to the USB-C-connected display, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff, and the touchscreen functionality works wonders in Windows. [whatthefilament] has also published a desk holder and a wall mount to accompany this design – if it’s a bit too large for you to hold in some situations, you can mount it in a more friendly, hands-free way. This is a solid and surprisingly practical tablet, and unlike the Raspberry Pi tablet builds we’ve seen, its x86 heart packs enough power to let you do things like CAD on the go.
If you’ve been following the latest advancements in computing for a while, you already know that there’s a big problem with laptops: When they’re no longer useful as a daily driver, it can be a struggle to find a good use for all its parts. Everything is proprietary, and serious amounts of reverse engineering are required if you decide to forge ahead. This is where Framework, a laptop company building modular laptops comes in. They’ve made it clear that when you upgrade your Framework laptop with a new mainboard they want you to be able to continue to use the old mainboard outside of the laptop.
To that end, Framework have provided 2D mechanical drawings of their mainboard and 3D printable cases that can of course be modified as needed. “But what about peripherals?” you might ask. Framework has provided pinouts for all of the connectors on the board along with information on which connectors to use to interface with them. No reverse engineering needed!
While it’s possible to buy a mainboard now and use it, their stated goal is to help people make use of used mainboards leftover from upgrades down the line. With just a stick of memory and a USB-C power adapter, the board will spring to life and even has i2c and USB immediately available.
What would you do with a powerful Intel i5-1135G7 mainboard? Framework wants to know, and to that end, they are actually giving away 100 mainboards to makers and developers. Mind you this is a program created and ran by Framework — and is not associated in any way Hackaday or our overlords at Supplyframe.

Biodiversity challenges are not unique for any single country, the unique nature of the South Caucasus knows no borders. Governments, authorities, universities and other training institutions benefit when they share their knowledge and experience not just within their country but across the region. The programme fosters this regional exchange in the South Caucasus.
Exchange and dialogue are taking place between decision makers and experts in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia on urgent environmental issues of cross-border significance, such as the sustainable management of ecosystem services. But apart from that, the exchange also provides an important opportunity to learn from each other.
To improve the exchange among professionals, a systematic expert dialogue is established between specialists from the three countries, including ministries, universities, and NGOs. For example, ECOserve actively supports the Caucasus Mountain Forum (https://caucasus-mt.net/ ) which is held to ensure the sustainability of scientific cooperation and exchange, as well as to maintain a regular dialogue.

The human race has been all but wiped out, along with our best traits: compassion, empathy, and generosity.
Euan is a survivor. In a dystopian wasteland infused with violence and cruelty, he protects something invaluable. His love for Nick and the solace that comes with the connection keeps him from destruction, and offers him that most elusive and dangerous emotion of all —
But happiness comes at a price and a hunting trip leaves Nick vulnerable to the evil that still infects the world. When Euan returns, he finds Nick broken and bloody, irrevocably damaged in both body and soul.
Now Euan’s only goal is to find a place for Nick to heal, a safe place, a refuge where they can rest, recover and repair their love. When they risk a raid on an abandoned house, they discover the unthinkable, the rarest treasure of all. A woman.

The Kane County Cougars, in conjunction with the Chicago Cubs, have announced that pitcher Pierce Johnson has been promoted to Class-A Advanced Daytona. The Cougars have received pitcher Armando Rivero from the Cubs spring training complex in Arizona and pitcher Sheldon McDonald from Daytona. This morning's roster moves bring the Cougars' active roster to 24 players as the team kicks off the season's second half tonight in Davenport, Iowa against Quad Cities.
Johnson, the 43rd overall selection in the June 2012 draft, was the Cougars' Opening Night starter on April 4th. Seven of the top 30 Cubs organizational prospects according to Baseball America were on the team's Opening Night roster, and Johnson is the first of the seven to earn a promotion to Daytona. The right-hander started 13 games and was 5-5 with a 3.10 ERA, striking out 74 batters in 69.2 innings. In his final Cougars start last Sunday, Johnson worked 7 innings, allowing just four hits without yielding a run. Johnson is the fourth Cougar this season to receive a promotion to Daytona, joining Chadd Krist, Wes Darvill and Yaniel Cabezas.
Rivero, a Cuban pitcher who was signed by the Cubs this past spring, turned 25 years old in February. In his final season in Cuba in 2010-11, Rivero had a 3.06 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 21 walks in 47 innings. McDonald (33rd round, 2011) appeared in 33 games with Class-A Peoria last season, posting a 1.89 ERA. This season at Daytona, McDonald was 0-1 with a 3.42 ERA in 16 games.

This project will initiate a collaboration with the Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Diseases (ZVBD) Research and Training Centre, a transdisciplinary research centre based in Shillong. It will conduct modelling studies to identify the burden and risk of zoonotic diseases and their relation to land use, climatic, meteorological, and other determinants.
The project aims to create a cost-effective and scalable one-stop system to monitor and assess air quality. It will provide users real-time local information, helping them make informed decisions regarding their exposure and will also allow the public to make their concerns known to decision makers.
The project aims to use a long-term integrated approach combining both molecular and ecological methods across a habitat gradient, to understand the potential of zoonotic spillovers. Further, it will establish a successful monitoring regime for potential zoonotic diseases, and generate critical information on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of climate change on biodiversity.


Answering a question from the Wall Street Journal’s Carol Lee about his “evolution” on surveillance issues and “restoring the public trust,” President Obama found himself reminiscing about when he used to do the dishes “back in the day.” It was one strange, yet lighthearted moment in an otherwise serious press conference.
Obama insisted that the NSA programs “are operating in a way that prevents abuse” even without the new reforms he’s proposing. “The question is,” Obama said, “how do I make the American people more comfortable?” He then went off on his dishes analogy:
“If I tell Michelle that I did the dishes–now, granted, in the White House I don’t do the dishes that much, but back in the day–and she’s a little skeptical. well,I’d like her to trust me, but maybe I need to bring her back and show her the dishes and not just have to take my word for it.”
Bringing his answer back to the question at hand, Obama said that if the American people “examined exactly what has taken place, how it has been used, what the safeguards were” that they would be comfortable with them.
“But it is absolutely true,” he said, “with the expansion of technology–and this is an area that is moving very quickly–with the revelations that have depleted public trust, that if there are some additional things that we can do to build that trust back up, then we should do them.”

HOUSTON (ICIS)--Bunge is still expecting to close on the sale of its Brazilian fertilizer business to Norwegian producer Yara by the close of Q3 2013, US-based agribusiness major said on Thursday.
In June, Yara announce it had obtained approval from authorities in Brazil to proceed with the $750m (€570m) purchase of the fertilizer segment.
“Brazil has significant growth prospects for both the agricultural sector in general and the fertilizer industry, and Yara intends to play a key role in the further development of Brazilian agribusiness,” said Jorgen Ole Haslestad, CEO of Yara International.
Officials said on Thursday that the acquisition is still on course and should reflect in the Q3 earnings.
Headquartered in White Plains, New York, Bunge operates in over 40 countries and is involved in many aspects of agricultural services and products including buying and transporting oilseeds and grains, producing sugar and ethanol from sugarcane.

Londoners warned of top five Omicron symptoms

Epidemiologist Dr Raghib Ali outlined to Londoners which common cold and flu symptoms could likely indicate an Omicron infection as the variant takes over London. Dr Ali discussed the symptoms of the Omicron virus and advised members of the public on what they can do if they feel like they have it. He suggested symptoms normally associated with the common cold such as a runny nose and sneezing are “more likely” to indicate someone is suffering from the Omicron variant.
The epidemiologist told Sky News: “We’ve got some data just today actually from the Covid Zoe app which has millions of people using it to look at the symptoms.
“And comparing those for Omicron versus Delta and also you’ll see how common they are with the cold.
“So the top five symptoms that have been found are runny nose, a headache, tiredness or fatigue.
“It can be mild or it can be severe, sneezing and a sore throat. And of course, all of us would recognise those as very typical symptoms of a cold.
“So the best guess at the moment is that if you have those symptoms in London particularly where Omicron has been leading the way in London.
“That’s where it’s most prevalent over 50% of cases naturally have those symptoms.
“It is more likely that you’ve got Covid, particularly Omicron compared to a cold.
“So if you do have those symptoms it’s really important that you do isolate yourself, take a lateral flow test and a PCR test as soon as you can.
“So book a PCR test as soon as you can to check whether you have got Covid.”
Vine panelists clash over boosters and vaccine status
The UK Government introduced Plan B restrictions this week to help stop the surge of the virus, with mandatory face masks and the reintroduction of working from home for all non-key workers included in the new measures.
NHS Covid Passes have also been introduced in England, and the pass may be asked for if you are entering large venues such as theatres, concert halls or stadiums.
Prof Azra Ghani from Imperial College said: “Given the rapid spread of the Omicron variant to date, it is now highly likely that this will replace the circulating Delta variant globally in the coming weeks.
“Emerging immunogenicity data clearly point to substantial reductions in neutralising antibodies, whilst preliminary vaccine efficacy estimates demonstrate a substantial reduction in protection from mild disease.
“Our estimates suggest that this is likely to translate into small but important reductions in efficacy against severe disease and death.
Prof Ghani added: “One remaining uncertainty is how severe the disease caused by the Omicron variant is compared to disease caused by previous variants.
“Whilst it may take several weeks to fully understand this, governments will need to put in place plans now to mitigate any potential impact.
“Our results demonstrate the importance of delivering booster doses as part of the wider public health response.
“Prioritising these boosters to high-risk populations over primary vaccination in younger age groups should be part of this response in countries where dose supply is limited.”

Robert Chacon Lacking a focal point for their community, Crescenta Valley Town Council members have approved design plans to beautify the unincorporated area's only Foothill (210) Freeway offramp at La Crescenta Avenue. The beautification design includes four crescents made of river stones from the surrounding San Gabriel Mountains, native plants and flowers and a sign displaying the name of the community. The change would replace the stretch of blacktop at the end of the La Crescenta Avenue offramp.

NORTHWEST GLENDALE — A law enforcement officer shot a man shortly before noon Tuesday on the eastbound Ventura (134) Freeway Pacific Avenue offramp, Glendale police said. The man was transported to County-USC Medical Center, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. The condition of the man, who Lorenz did not identify, was not yet known. He was shot in the upper body during a struggle with an officer with a law enforcement agency that Lorenz did not identify because the investigation was too nascent, although he said it was not Glendale Police.

CITY HALL — The massive $44-million Fairmont Avenue flyover bridge project will now likely include a widening of the Central Avenue offramp for the eastbound Ventura (134) Freeway, following months of negotiations between city and state officials. The Central Avenue project had been tossed due to cost concerns, but after it became apparent that the bridge would come in under budget by about $3 million, city officials began negotiating with the California Department of Transportation on how to spend the difference.

Buck Wargo CITY HALL -- Without committing any city funds, Glendale officials have promised Fern Lane residents to work toward getting a freeway offramp at the Glendale Sports Complex. The City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday night to meet with Caltrans and state representatives to get support for funding and constructing an onramp and offramp at the athletic complex. Since the park opened in June 1999, residents have been upset about the additional traffic on their street and want a freeway ramp to divert it. Residents want the ramp as long as Fern Lane is closed to traffic from the freeway and sports park.

It is a disgust that I exit the Brand offramp of the Ventura (134) Freeway each afternoon around 4:30 p.m. to find the city sprinklers shooting water sporadically, causing a major safety hazard. Glendale must use better oversight in its management of the watering of public greenery. Each evening, as commuters scurry to get in and out of the city, the onramp and offramp sprinklers are in full operation. The sprinklers are not operating efficiently as it seems most of the water is shooting into the street, striking cars and pedestrians.

A broken water main is expected to keep the intersection of Glenoaks Boulevard and Chevy Chase Drive closed for several days after resulting in a 7-foot deep, 20-by-20-foot sinkhole. The main burst about 6 p.m. Monday, causing underground flooding, Glendale Police spokeswoman Officer Leticia Chang said. The intersection of Glenoaks and Chevy Chase and blocks leading to the intersection were closed to traffic Tuesday, she said. The damage was so extensive that it caused flooding on the Holly Drive offramp from the Glendale (2)
