O'Reilly Auto Parts has agreed to pay nearly $10 million to settle an environmental lawsuit alleging the company illegally disposed of hazardous waste in California landfills.
Fifty California district attorneys, including all nine in the Bay Area, joined together to file suit in Alameda County Superior Court, alleging the Missouri-based auto parts company unlawfully "handled, transported and disposed of" various hazardous materials at its more than 500 California stores, including used oil, oil filters, automotive fluids and alkaline batteries.
The suit came from an undercover probe launched in 2013 by investigators from the offices of dozens of county district attorneys in California, as well as state environmental regulators. The investigation found that O'Reilly customers who were working on their vehicles in store parking lots regularly put waste from that work into O'Reilly dumpsters and waste bins, which the company proceeded to illegally transport and dispose of in California landfills.
"They knew that customers were dumping hazardous waste into their own bins," said Alameda County Assistant District Attorney Ken Mifsud. "They knew it was happening, they allowed it to happen, and their own employees ended up dumping [the waste] into their own dumpsters."
Under the settlement, O'Reilly agreed to pay $6 million in civil penalties and contribute slightly more than $1.5 million to environmental projects in California. The suit also compels the company to spend $1.85 million to "reduce hazardous waste generation and enhance performance of hazardous waste management" at their California stores and distribution centers.

US President Donald Trump has said arming teachers could prevent school shootings like that which left 17 people dead last week in Florida.
A staff member with a gun could end an attack “very quickly”, he said.
Mr Trump floated the proposal as emotional survivors of the 14 February massacre implored him to make sure something similar does not occur again.
The Republican president also backed calls for improved background checks on gun buyers.
Other survivors meanwhile lobbied Florida lawmakers on gun control.
“We’ll be very strong on background checks, very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody,” Mr Trump told the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during Wednesday’s televised event at the White House.
“It’s not going to be talk like it’s been in the past,” he added.
The US president also endorsed a proposal long championed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), a powerful gun lobby group.
He pledged to look “very strongly” at calls for educators to be armed with guns.
“If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms,” he said, “they could very well end the attack very quickly.”
“Where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them,” he said, while acknowledging the plan was controversial, “they would go for special training and they would be there, and you would no longer have a gun-free zone.
“A gun-free zone, to a maniac, because they are all cowards, a gun-free zone is, ‘let’s go in and let’s attack.'”
A dozen US states already allow concealed handguns to be carried on college premises, according to the website Armed Campuses. The state of Florida does not.
Mr Trump denied during the 2016 election campaign that he was in favour of guns in classrooms.
The US president listened to pleas for gun reform on Wednesday from about 40 students, teachers and families in the executive mansion’s state dining room.
Some of those at the hour-long event voiced support for Mr Trump’s idea of arming teachers.
But Mark Barden – whose son Daniel was killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut – said more guns was not the answer:
“Schoolteachers have more than enough responsibilities right now, than to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life,” he said.
“Nobody wants to see a shoot-out in a school.”
Andrew Pollack, whose daughter, Meadow, died in last week’s attack – the second-deadliest shooting at a US public school – said: “We, as a country, failed our children.”
“I’m pissed!” he added.
Meanwhile, Florida Senator Marco Rubio also felt the articulate anger of a bereaved parent at a CNN “town hall” event.
Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed at Stoneman Douglas, told the senator that his comments and those of the president’s in the past week had been “pathetically weak”.
“You and I are now eye to eye,” he told Mr Rubio. “Look at me and tell me that guns were the factor in the hunting of our kids in this school this week. And look at me and tell me you accept it and you will work with us to do something about guns.”
Mr Rubio was repeatedly booed throughout his response. He acknowledged that guns were “absolutely” responsible for the death of Mr Guttenberg’s daughter, but reaffirmed his position that “gun laws alone” were not the solution.
He later said banning semi-automatic weapons was “a position well outside the mainstream.”
Hundreds of teenagers from the Washington DC suburbs rallied outside the White House before Mr Trump’s meeting.
Meanwhile, survivors of the shooting poured into the Florida state capital to demand lawmakers restrict sales of assault rifles.
“We want gun reform. We want common sense gun laws,” said Delaney Tarr in Tallahassee.
It was the first organised protest of the youth-led anti-gun movement that has swept the US since the attack in Parkland, Florida.
Other students in Chicago, Illinois; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Phoenix, Arizona walked out of classes in solidarity.
Some lawmakers in Florida’s state legislature said they would consider raising the minimum age to buy assault rifles – like the one police say was used in last week’s massacre – from 18 to 21.
However, the legislators rejected a proposal on Tuesday to even debate banning such weapons.
Mr Trump’s listening session came a day after he directed his administration to take steps to ban gun “bump stocks”.
The accessories – which enable a rifle to shoot hundreds of rounds a minute – were used by a gunman who killed 58 concert-goers in Las Vegas last October.
That was the deadliest attack by a lone gunman in US history.
The NRA – which contributed an estimated $30m (£21m) to help elect Mr Trump – opposes a total ban on bump stocks but supports some regulation of the devices and some changes to background check legislation.

Casting Directors Reach Labor Deal
The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, including whether studios agreed to pay for casting assistants during pilot season. The ratification meeting is Sept. 15.
After a week of negotiations between the studios and unionized freelance casting directors, they’ve reached a deal. However, details of the agreement were not available.
The Teamsters, who rep the CDs and associate CDs, will hold a ratification meeting September 15 at the WGA.
The current three-year collective bargaining agreement expires September 30.
The casting directors may have sought to have studios agree to pay for casting assistants during pilot season. A dispute on the issue broke out earlier this year, but the CD’s were not able to gain any ground at the time.
The existing agreement sets minimum compensation for associate CD’s working on television projects, but leaves CD’s wages, and associate CD’s wages on theatrical projects, open for individual negotiation. Other key provisions of the brief agreement lay out employer contribution rates for pension and health, and leave open the possibility of discussing “new media issues.”
It’s not known which, if any, of these issues figured in the negotiations or the new deal.
The CDs and associates – about 450 total – are represented by Teamsters Locals 399 (Los Angeles) and 817 (New York), while the studios and producers are represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. They achieved recognition as a unionized group in 2005, following a long organizing effort. More recently, visual effects workers and composers and lyricists have attempted to organize, but without success.

He switched effortlessly between different musical spheres: the Swiss conductor Armin Jordan, who died in 2006, was a master of French repertoire as well as the musical tradition of Central Europe, combining both traditions in his very own musical thumbprint. Jordan's performances are characterised by a soft, supple and richly colourful orchestral sound, flexibility and warmth. Released here for the first time are live recordings of his two only performances at LUCERNE FESTIVAL, given in 1988 and 1994 conducting the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, which experienced a golden era under Jordan's leadership between 1985 and 1997. This album comprises Armin Jordan's "specials", such as Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune or the Six épigraphes antiques in orchestrations by Ansermet. In Chausson's Poème de l'amour et de la mer we meet Jordan the opera conductor, treasuring the fantastic Felicity Lott: here, the emotional component of the performance appears more intense than in the studio recording of 2001. In the second suite from Roussel's ballet Bacchus et Ariane Jordan also creates a thrilling sense of drama. He never had the opportunity to record this rarely performed piece in the studio: this live recording from Lucerne therefore fills a gap in his discography. The 28-page booklet in three languages contains a portrait of the conductor by Peter Hagmann and features photos from the festival archive, published here for the first time.


This story is part of Governing's annual International issue.
The city of Santander is an old seaport on the north coast of Spain. A couple times a week, a ferry brings over a handful of English tourists who crowd the beautiful beaches of Playa de la Magdalena and El Sardinero, and shop and dine in the city’s historic center. Otherwise, the Spanish city of 180,000 has little interaction with the foreign world. Or at least that was until Santander was chosen four years ago to become Europe’s test bed for a sensor-based smart city.
Today, the sight of foreign tourists is a familiar one. Delegations from tech companies the world over are flocking to “see” Santander’s sensors. Since 2010, 12,500 sensors have been placed in and around the city’s downtown district, where they measure everything from the amount of trash in containers, to the number of parking spaces available, to the size of crowds on the sidewalks. In addition, sensors on vehicles such as police cars and taxicabs measure air pollution levels and traffic conditions.
The data from these sensors flows to banks of computers that analyze the real-time information and give city officials the kind of big picture that allows them to adjust the amount of energy they use, the number of trash pickups needed in a given week and how much water to sprinkle on the lawns of city parks.
At the same time, the city is opening up its data so that programmers can create apps that help citizens find bus arrival times or let tourists find out who is performing at concert halls simply by pointing their mobile phones at a bus stop or building. The collecting of data through numerous sensors could lead to significant improvements in how city infrastructure is used and lead to a better understanding of urban issues, says Carlo Ratti, director of the SENSEable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Sensors allow us to better understand reality,” he says, “letting us catch the pulse of a city.” The goal in Santander is to make the city a more enticing place to visit, shop and get around. These kinds of sensor-driven projects are already saving the cash-strapped Spanish city significant amounts of money.
But others are more skeptical about the rush to try to measure as many data points as possible in a city, run them through analytical software and then base major urban policy decisions on what the data says. “I think there are some considerable risks that we are building into cities by deploying these technologies very rapidly, somewhat haphazardly and without a lot of risk assessment,” says Anthony Townsend, a senior research scientist at New York University and author of Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia. Townsend and others have raised concerns about buggy software and the push to optimize aging infrastructure through the use of sensors. Where some see smart cities, others fear a new form of governance based on algorithms rather than human experience.
While the idea of a smart city is still relatively new in the United States, the concept is more established abroad. London, Seoul and Stockholm have been using sensors to monitor traffic and manage congestion for years. Singapore has placed sensors throughout almost every part of its physical geography with the goal of becoming the world’s smartest city. And Rio de Janeiro has become the poster child for smart cities with its high-tech central operations center, which is staffed by nearly 400 workers who monitor everything from traffic to keywords in local social media in an effort to spot trends -- or problems -- before they occur.
Four years ago, the European Union (EU) decided to use Santander to test the latest in smart city technology. Dubbed SmartSantander, the project, which received an $11 million grant from the EU, started when Luis Muñoz, an engineering professor at the local University of Cantabria, and his development team of 20 technicians, researchers and programmers buried hundreds of sensors in the asphalt to develop a way to manage the limited number of parking spaces available in the city’s downtown area.
Parking management, says Muñoz, is a good place to start. It is one of the low-hanging fruits as far as testing sensor technology goes, because it gives drivers a quick solution to the nagging problem of where to park and helps city officials reduce congestion and air pollution. Information about parking is displayed on special panels located at major intersections in the city, so anyone who is heading downtown will have an idea of how many spaces are currently available and where they are located.
After that initial project, the team soon launched others, including adding 2,000 sensors on streetlights and buildings to monitor temperature, carbon monoxide levels, noise, light and traffic; another 60 sensors to monitor traffic flow into the city; 50 sensors in two major city parks to measure environmental factors; and so forth.
Muñoz’s team wrapped up the project last year, and turned it over to city officials who use all of these monitoring and sensing systems to more precisely calibrate how the city allocates its resources. The sensors on the streetlights, for example, can tell whether the sidewalks have people on them or whether the streets have cars. If it’s late at night and the streets and sidewalks are empty, the lights are dimmed. If the sensors pick up someone walking, they brighten. These sensors and others have helped Santander cut energy costs by as much as 25 percent. Similarly, sensors in trash cans have helped the city cut garbage pickup costs by 20 percent.
But sensors installed by technicians aren’t the only way Santander is testing the smart city concept. “People with smartphones can be an even better instrument for broadcasting information about the city and facilitating new interactions with it,” says MIT’s Ratti. He points to Waze, a community-based traffic and navigation app that shares real-time traffic and road information with users. It is as an example, he says, of how people can become sensors themselves.
Santander has launched an app called “Pace of the City,” which users can download to receive up-to-date information about city events. The alerts are even geocoded so that people can use their phones to get to events. Geolocation plays a prominent role in what Muñoz calls “augmented reality” apps. Using about 2,000 quick response (QR) codes -- those square, checkered symbols that can be scanned with a smartphone -- the city has tagged points of interest, shops and public places around Santander. They have proven useful as a way to provide tourists with information about what the city has to offer and where they can find it. Geographical location, for instance, is also helping with the city’s transit system. Using one of Santander’s apps, a person can get bus arrival times simply by pointing the phone at the bus stop.
The more the public uses the city’s data in these applications, according to Muñoz, the better they get at interpreting the data and what it means. “For example, when they see one of the displays saying there are five open parking spaces in a certain location in the city, they know that the information is correct only up to a point,” he says. “They know the actual number may change.” So when the number of spaces posted on the display fall below a certain number, drivers can decide whether they should chance it and search for a space, or find other alternatives.
Certainly at this point everyone is excited about sensors and their possibilities. But a growing chorus of experts is calling for a more measured approach, arguing that there are broader and deeper problems when cities become too reliant on sensors and smart applications to drive services and decision-making. As cities increase their dependence on software to run services, operate infrastructure and make critical fiscal decisions, they increase the risk that something could go wrong, says NYU’s Townsend. He cites Y2K as the best example of when software can backfire: It cost companies and governments $300 billion to fix. The Israeli government has acknowledged that essential services that run off sensors, such as water, electricity and banking, have been the target of numerous hacking attacks. In 2012, the traffic management system for a main artery in the port city of Haifa, Israel, was hacked, causing major traffic problems that lasted for hours.
Then there’s the so-called brittleness factor. A good portion of the sensors being used in cities are designed to improve the performance of key infrastructure, such as roads, rail, water systems and electrical grids. Townsend describes this as squeezing excess capacity out of existing networks. “You’re creating a structure that is inherently unstable and can only be controlled by a computer and software that can sense what’s going on,” he says. When these systems are forced to operate faster and to constantly recalibrate their settings based on demand, the potential for a breakdown increases. “So what happens when these control systems shut down?” asks Townsend. “Does it happen gracefully? Does it fail catastrophically? Does it warn you? Are there digital backups?” The real-world analogy for this predicament is what happened to cellular networks during hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and the Boston Marathon bombing. Circuits overloaded and the networks shut down.
Professor Muñoz admits that’s a problem. With the sheer number of sensors that are spread throughout the city, “bad weather can create problems,” he says. “That can be difficult to manage when you have such a large, distributed network of devices.”
Ultimately, there’s also the question of privacy versus security. Sensors that capture sound, images and locations of individuals can be helpful when we need protection or greater security. But there is always the worry that what starts as surveillance in a democratic society can become something else in a country that becomes autocratic. Rob Kitchin, director of the National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis at the National University of Ireland, points out that the more a city can measure and control, the more likely it becomes “panoptic,” capable of tracking everything, never forgetting what happens. In other words, a kind of Big Brother society.
But spring in Santander means the surf is up and those who like to ride the waves are more interested in apps that can provide up-to-date information on wave size than privacy issues. Information about surf is another data point SmartSantander can share with visitors and the local population. Muñoz agrees that privacy is one of those issues that the project is trying to tackle. “We are concerned about what to share and what should remain private,” he says. “One of our goals is to encourage users to embrace this technology, not run away from it.”
Another goal is to make city government more transparent than ever before, Santander Mayor Iñigo de la Serna told Germany’s Der Spiegel. “We want to create a new, cooperative relationship between the people and the city government.”
One promising new application would leverage the sensors that measure sound so that when they pick up the frequency of an ambulance siren, the traffic control system kicks in and creates a priority lane of green lights so the ambulance can get to the hospital faster. That’s the kind of story Muñoz and de la Serna would like people to remember when they think about the possibilities of smart cities.

Well hello – I don’t quite know what happened to November and December but we seem to have arrived in 2019! To start off the new year on a positive note, I’m sharing a new free knitting pattern for this classic chunky ribbed cowl.
The Simple Ribbed Collar is an easy knitting project made in just a few hours for a quick and super cosy winter accessory. It’s a great beginner project once the basic techniques have been learned, and also a lovely introduction to knitting in the round on a long circular needle.
The cowl requires:
- 100g Perran Yarns Chunky Merino yarn shown in colourway Precious Metals
- 7mm circular needle, approx 100cm long
Using a 7mm circular needle, use German Twisted Cast-on (or your favourite stretchy cast-on) to cast on 84 stitches.
Divide the stitches evenly over the two ends of the circular needle to begin knitting in the round using magic loop technique, taking care not to twist the stitches.
Work rounds of Knit3, Purl3 until you have approx 4metres of yarn remaining to cast off with (I worked 37 rounds).
Cast off loosely, sew in ends and enjoy!
The result is a long ribbed tube, which doesn’t need to be blocked. It can be worn folded over for a cosy double layer tucked into your coat, or upright over your chin and mouth to keep out a chilly breeze.
I hope you enjoy this free cowl knitting pattern. I’d love to see your versions, so if you knit it please share your pictures on Instagram or Facebook and tag them with @perranyarns

Once Upon A Paper Pallet
Why Are Paper Pallets The Better Alternative?
It all began in the 1940s when there was a rising need to reduce the process of returning wood pallets and metal pallets, in order to reduce the cost of shipping. Pallet designers found that the light weight, size customizability, efficiency, and recyclability gave paper pallets more benefits than the wood pallets and metal pallets that was currently in use.
One of the pallet designers, Norman Cahners worked in the U.S Navy Materials Handling Laboratory during the second world war. He had seen the variety of pallets and their capacities, leading him to believe and encourage the development of lightweight pallets designed from alternative materials.
Norman Cahners stated that platforms contribute significantly to the shipping cost due to the weight and space consumption. Back in the days, wood pallets and steel pallets could weight over 45 kilograms, adding unnecessary cost to any shipment. On top of that, wood pallets and metal pallets were usually returned empty which increased the overhead cost. Hence the reason behind the invention of practical, inexpensive, and customizable paper pallets that are just as sturdy and just as strong as wood and metal pallets.
Industrial Revolution In Western Region
As the industry began to evolve, many of the earliest inventions of paper pallets had failed to meet expectations. However, modern day technology has brought paper pallets a long way since its humble beginnings.
At Finopeous, we have developed our very own patented Finoboard that has surpassed other types of paper pallets made from honeycomb or triple wall. Strength-tested 19mm to 30mm, our 2 ways paper pallets are customizable to fit our clients exportation needs via land, air, and sea.
Finopeous Factory In Sepang
Finopeous Heavy Duty Paper Pallet is made from 100% industrial recycled paper, boasting strength, durability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. It is a 100% recyclable environmental friendly alternative that is weather resistant, fumigation free, and RoHS compliant.
Various sizes of Finopeous Paper Pallets
Just as Norman Cahners had presented, our paper pallets weigh just ⅓ of what a wooden pallet will weight, and are more flexible in design, shape, and size. The winning benefit is a lower shipping cost for all. Hence, as the leading heavy duty paper pallet and paper crate manufacturing company in Malaysia, we stand by the early paper pallet designers—embarking on innovative pursuits to provide more sustainable packaging alternatives in the market.
If you’re looking for cost saving packaging solutions, get in touch with us now. We’ll be more than happy to send you a FREE and ready to use sample of our patented paper pallet for your next shipment!

We have talked about sustainable living and adopting sustainable fashion. It seems to be a little complicated but there are brands that are making this challenging task their priority because they are aware of the environmental concerns.
When we talk about sustainable fashion, we can’t ignore the work of the fashion designer Stella McCartney. She launched her brand with her name Stella McCartney in 2001. The brand has been known for its effort to make a change even before sustainable lifestyles and ethical fashion was even talked about. Stella McCartney is a vegetarian brand that has never used leather, fur or skins in our products. Stella McCartney continuously develops and engages with new ways to reduce environmental impacts, using innovative techniques throughout the supply chain and designs. This luxurious brand is genuinely concerned about the environment and their efforts are visible in their actions. It is making constant efforts to improve and create sustainable fashion.
Stella McCartney is a perfect example of how fashion and sustainability can go hand in hand. Recently at the G7 summit, Stella McCartney called the fashion industry “one of the most polluting in the world” and added, “My goal is to drive change, encourage investments and create a lasting difference through incentives supporting the next generation”. She further added “I hope the G7 Summit will translate our message into policies bringing us closer to creating a cruelty-free society that is kinder to all creatures, Mother Earth, and each other.
“We are committed to always being responsible, honest and accountable today, with a positive impact on people, the planet and all its creatures so that we can protect it for tomorrow.”
One such brand is none other than Stella McCartney. Fashion is one the industry which has a major impact on the environment and co-existing species. In the hunt for a fashionable lifestyle, we somehow have forgotten has are actions are impacting the environment with our carbon footprints. We can emphasize enough that making environmental
How Stella McCartney Is Being Sustainable?
1. No Animal Leather, Skin and Fur
Since 2001, the very first day of its launch, Stella McCartney has made environmental conscious choices by saying no to the leather in her products. Not just leather, her brand focussed on no animal fur and no animal skin products. This is a big step towards the ethical approach in fashion where the brand acknowledges and respects the co-existence of other species on the planet. Hence to meet the requirements of leather, the brand uses mushroom leather and produces vegan bags. In 2018, they released the first vegan Stan Smith and created the first handbag made by Bold Thread’s Mylo Mushroom leather.
2. Use Of Organic Cotton
Stella McCartney brand started using organic cotton in 2008. This ensures that the use of non-toxic chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides is eliminated from agriculture. This improves soil health and furthermore protects the environment from various forms of pollution.
3. 100% Free From Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Products
The brand has gone complete PVC free. PVS is known to be one of the deadliest plastic on the planet. It contains many harmful chemicals such as phthalates, dioxins, ethylene dichloride etc. The production of PVC releases dioxins as byproducts. Dioxins are toxic and dangerous by-products. In 2010, Stella McCartney went complete PVC free understanding how dangerous this could be to humans, animals as well as the environment.
4.100% Sustainable Viscose
Sustainable viscose is yet another thing Stella McCartney came up with in order to protect the environment. They use 100% sustainable viscose which is an eco-friendly alternative.
5. Ceased The Use Of Cashmere
Cashmere has a high impact on the environment and therefore the brand has decided to cease the use of virgin cashmere. Instead, they use Re.Verso, re-engineered cashmere yarn. This is made in Italy from pre-consumer waste. and is said to offer a 92% reduction in environmental impact when compared to virgin cashmere.
6. Biodegradable Denim
We all love denim and Stella McCartney uses stretchable and biodegradable denim in her products. Denim is essential and the use of biodegradable denim is a big step towards helping the environment.
7. Sustainable Eyewear Collection
The brand has come up with sustainable eyewear. They use bio-lenses for the glasses in addition to frames made up of bio-acetate.
8. Recycled Nylon and Polyester
Stella McCarney used recycled nylon and polyester in their products. Instead of regular nylons, they use ECONYL, regenerated nylon. It is a form of nylon that is entirely made up of waste such as plastic waste fabric and fishing nets from the ocean are recycled and regenerated into new nylon yarns. On the other hand, recycled polyester all over the globe is recycled from plastic bottles. These recycled materials are good and have less impact on the environment.
9. Paper and Carboards
The brand is very mindful of the creation as well as the packaging of its products. Since 2014, they have ensured that all the paper and cardboard used in any process of manufacturing or packaging are certified as sustainable.
10. Biodegradable Products
Other than using biodegradable denim, the brand also uses biodegradable soles made from a bioplastic called APINAT. The APINAT will degrade on its own when it is placed in mature compost. The shoes are not only vegan but also eco friendly.
Stella McCartney aims to use energy sources such as solar panels and LEDs which are energy efficient. Using solar energy is a great way of preventing the use and overconsumption of non-renewable sources of energy.
12. Vegan Soccer Boots
Yes, Stella McCartney has launched the world’s first-ever vegan soccer boots. It is in collaboration with French player Paul Pogba as a part of her work with Adidas.
Our Final Thoughts
The brands like Stella McCartney are doing their bit towards the environment. They are making their products cruelty free and eco-friendly. This reflects the positive attitude f the brand towards the environment, and co-existing species.
They are trying their best to provide luxury fashion without causing harm to the environment. They are constantly working in the direction to produce better alternatives and encourage people to make conscious choices. Now, it is our responsibility to support the initiative of such brands so that more and more sustainable products are available in the market for our use.
Visit Stella McCartney Store to know more about their sustainable policies and to buy their products.

Think parmesan here. Sprinkle this gingerly on whatever dish or snack needs a little sprinkle of salty love.
Pasta? Boom, hit it with nutritional yeast.
Popcorn? Bam, the yeast for the win.
Get wild with it and play around with baking it into crackers or bread or stir it up into some coconut cream for a decadent sauce situation.
This is the promised land of melt and honestly, it’s the most obvious way to replace your standard, animal-based queso.
You can find a vegan cheese for literally all purposes and we don’t mean literally in an unliteral way, we mean literally. Cheese for pizza (that melt!), almond cheese that can put the kibosh on your ricotta or other soft cheese and even options for your burgers or to crumble on some greens.
Salty and crumbly. No, it’s not the name of our next album. It’s toasted almond meal.
Hit it with a pinch of salt, give it a little roast on low and what you’re left with is what dreams are made of.
Add it to sauces or toss on top of pasta, it’s gold no matter how you use it.

The Ultimate Tour – also the name of the hit compilation album – was the quintet saying ‘thank you’ to their many fans for keeping their music popular over the years. And who can forget those happy-sounding hits?
From their first – the line-dancing inspired 5-6-7-8 in 1997 to Words Are Not Enough just four years later, they racked up an amazing run of 15 consecutive top five hits and a quartet of albums, two of which topped the charts, one of which – Step One –went five times platinum. All in all, 15 million records sold. After a no-holds-barred reunion documentary, the five band members decided to go back on the road.
But not even the five Steps were prepared for what happened next.
Every show on the tour was sold out as the fans, now ten years older, along with new converts to the Steps cause, flocked to see them perform again.
“It was fantastic!” Lee Latchford Evans says. “We just didn’t expect it all to happen as it did.”
Now in his mid-thirties, as are all the band, Lee explains that it wasn’t originally meant to be so big.
“All we were doing originally was supporting the hits package, but the response was out of this world – it was so surreal really.”
The tour having finished, many thought that they would all go their separate ways again, but no. There’s a new album entitled Light Up the World which features ten tracks, all with a festive feel.
Lee says. “It’s by way of a thank you again to the fans. It was a quickly made album and is full of winter warmers, as I like to call them.’’
As well as some instantly familiar songs such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, there is a brand new track – the title track of the album.
And then there’s another tour.
Lee says: “We’re just doing half a dozen small dates to showcase the new album. It’s a little more intimate. More like ‘an evening with Steps’ really.
“This time we’ve got a live four-piece band on stage with us which means that we’ll have to restructure some of the old tracks, and hopefully we’ll be able to do most of the new album.
* Christmas With Steps comes to the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Wednesday December 5.

RIESCO, Leonor. EL MARAVILLOSO MUNDO DE EL TESORO DE LA JUVENTUD: APUNTES HISTÓRICOS DE UNA ENCICLOPEDIA PARA NIÑOS. Universum [online]. 2008, vol.23, n.1, pp.198-225. ISSN 0718-2376. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-23762008000100010.
Within the framework of the eighteenth century illustration movement, the encyclopaedia acquired a fundamental importance in terms of the schematic organization of human knowledge. What this work sets out to do is to study El Tesoro de la Juventud o Enciclopedia de Conocimientos, a Hispano-American version of the English encyclopaedia for children, The children's encyclopaedia, the first edition of which appeared in 1915. To be more specific, the main objective of this study is to analyze the world concept of the El Tesoro de la Juventud which it presents to a children's public through its different contents. We are interested in discovering, relatively long after it was created, the form by which a trusting and optimistic view of Humanity was created, successful in astonishing children through the admirable scientific advances, the wonders of Nature, and the progress that human creativity had been able to achieve, as well as the use it had been able to make of Nature at its service.

Cleveland Indians: Cleveland baseball safe after 15-year lease extension
It’s official. Cleveland baseball will remain in the city for at least the next 15 years. The Cleveland Indians organization has agreed to a lease extension to continue playing at Progressive Field. The lease agreement is for 15 years, but there is an additional 10 years worth of options on the deal as well.
This really shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise after the new name was announced. The team isn’t going to be named after a Cleveland landmark and then leave the city within a few years. While landmark monikers haven’t always kept teams in cities, see the Los Angeles Dodgers or Los Angeles Lakers, this one seemed rather rock solid given the proximity to an impending lease agreement.
As Zack Meisel went on to say in a later tweet, there really wasn’t any concrete evidence that the club could be looking to relocate away from Cleveland. There have been rumors of expansion clubs or relocation cities, but none that have contacted the organization.
Should Major League Baseball look to expand there’s already two cities that have been tabbed as likely locations. Nashville and Portland both have organizations pushing for major league teams and the locations would help balance the league’s layout.
With that being said, it won’t be the Cleveland Indians or the Cleveland Guardians relocating to either of those cities. At least not anytime soon as the club will remain at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario.
The speculation that Cleveland could be on the move stemmed from the club’s goal to continue cutting payroll. Looking to save money and field what was viewed as a below-par team were signs that perhaps a “Major League” scenario of tanking to get attendance low enough to relocate was in the works. Thankfully, it seems like that storyline is being kept in Hollywood with Ricky Vaughn, Roger Dorn and Willie Mays Hayes.
The current edition of Cleveland Indians baseball just fell a game below .500 after a big loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. With a record of 52-53, the Tribe are just attempting to finish out the year above .500, a goal the team hasn’t failed to meet since the 2012 campaign, being the final season under Manny Acta.
What is hurting the team is that the field that they just upped their lease for, Progressive Field, isn’t giving them much of a home field advantage this year. The club is just 26-23 at home during the 2021 season. While that’s above .500, the hope is for a bit better of a winning margin at home.
However, the focus right now isn’t on the home record or even really on the 2021 team. That focus ran out in the midst of the trade deadline where the Tribe were frequent sellers, striking four deals. Now, the focus is on the future and this deals means that the future will be in Cleveland.

More than three dozen members and associates of an alleged Albanian organized-crime syndicate have been charged in a long-running scheme to smuggle cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs into the U.S., as well as Canada and Europe, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
A federal indictment outlined the purported decadelong scheme—and revealed an array of colorful nicknames the defendants allegedly used: "The Bear," "Juicehead," "Fat Ange," "Jo-Jo," "The Kid," "Lucky" and "Little Guy," among others. Some echoed the monikers of Italian organized crime. A man named Faik Mehmeti was known as "Frank Nitti," according to the indictment.
The roundup included the arrests of 30 individuals in the New York City area and one defendant in Florida on Wednesday. Five members of the alleged syndicate, which was comprised of interrelated Albanian clans, were already in custody in the U.S.
One of the alleged ringleaders directed the scheme while serving a five-year prison sentence in Albania, using smuggled cellular phones and BlackBerrys, prosecutors said. The U.S. plans to seek his extradition.
Lawyers for the defendants couldn't be reached for comment.
The scheme allegedly included shipments of marijuana hidden among seemingly legitimate goods in tractor trailers from Canada and Mexico, as well as drugs hidden in secret compartments in luxury automobiles headed for Europe, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn said in a detention letter filed in connection with the case.
The vehicles were shipped to legitimate car dealerships controlled by members of the syndicate, prosecutors said.
The charges include operating a continuing criminal enterprise, a variety of drug conspiracies, a money-laundering conspiracy and use of firearms related to drug trafficking.
Prosecutors also alleged that the syndicate used the services of a Canadian money-laundering organization, including laundering more than $15 million of the syndicate's narcotics proceeds in one year.
Prior to Wednesday's arrests, the syndicate was allegedly involved in negotiations to obtain hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from South America, some of which would be shipped to Canada in exchange for high-grade hydroponic marijuana, prosecutors said.


A decisive majority of citizens in California's desert communities strongly support the development of solar power facilities in their counties, according to a new survey conducted by Vote Solar, a nonprofit solar advocacy group, in partnership with Probolsky Research.
The survey assessed residents' attitudes toward solar energy development in California's Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
‘Nearly four out of five people surveyed believe that the California desert is a great resource and should be used to develop solar power projects,’ says Adam Probolsky, CEO of Probolsky Research. ‘We polled just residents living in the desert communities where renewable energy projects are being proposed. Voters understand the impacts and the rewards of utility-scale solar projects in California's desert communities, and they support it.’
The survey also found that the majority of respondents are concerned about global warming. Two out of three agree that renewable energy is an important part of California's future and that the state and federal government is right to provide financial support and tax incentives for renewable energy projects.
Jobs and the economy are by far the most important issues concerning voters in California desert counties. Unemployment rates in the counties polled are high, peaking at 26.8% in Imperial County. The construction sector is facing 18.9% unemployment across the state.
Polling data also showed that citizens of California's desert regions became even more supportive of utility-scale solar development in their county when informed that solar facilities will improve the overall air quality in their region as solar power facilities reduce dependence on California's fossil power plants.
The survey was underwritten by BrightSource Energy in order to assess community views, both positive and negative, about utility-scale solar in California's deserts, Vote Solar notes. Probolsky Research designed the questionnaire and surveyed a total of 1,019 voters.


The celeb world has shown an outpouring of love at the news that 70s heartthrob David Cassidy has passed away at the age of 67.
Cassidy was hospitalised last week and died on Tuesday surrounded by family. His representative said in a statement: ‘On behalf of the entire Cassidy family, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, our uncle, and our dear brother, David Cassidy.
‘David died surrounded by those he loved, with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long.
‘Thank you for the abundance of love and support you have shown him these many years.’
As the news seeped through to social media, famous fans of the late singer took to Twitter to share their condolences
He battled alcohol addiction throughout his career, having being arrested multiple times on suspicion of driving under the influence since 2010. Earlier this year he retired, telling fans he was suffering from dementia and had begun to forget the words to his own songs.
NickelBack wrote he was the ‘epitome of a rock star’ while Bryan Cranston shared his memory of directing the singer in an episode of Malcolm In The Middle.
Jimmy Osmond remembered their last gig together, and told him: ‘see you on the other side.’
Ben Stiller wrote how The Partridge Family had been a part of his childhood.
Beach Boys musician Brian Wilson tweeted: ‘I’m very sad to hear about David Cassidy.
‘There were times in the mid-1970s when he would come over to my house and we even started writing a song together. He was a very talented and nice person. Love & Mercy to David and his family.’
Cassidy was a hugely successful solo artist, selling more than 30 million records worldwide after The Partridge Family.
At the height of his fame in the 70s, David’s fan club had a larger membership than that of The Beatles and Elvis, with his poster on pretty much every teenage girl’s bedroom wall. In 1974, a stampede at one of his shows injured hundreds and killed one girl.
