where the past intersects with the present
With a rich history and focus on its residents, Ottumwa, Iowa is on the rise
Beautiful surroundings are undeniable for Ottumwa, Iowa. Situated about 85 miles from Des Moines in the state’s southeast corner, the city is split in half by the Des Moines River, which runs 525 miles from its headwaters in southern Minnesota, through all of the Hawkeye State, and ultimately into the Mississippi River.
The greater Ottumwa area was originally inhabited by several Native Peoples, including members of the Ioway, Mesquaki, and Sac tribes, but settlers moving westward began to replace those occupants in the early 1800s, and by the 1840s, Ottumwa has declared the county seat of Wapello County and began to develop as a city.
In 1859, the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad arrived in the riverport town, adding rail transport to its water traffic, and Ottumwa was well on its way to becoming the trade and economic center of Southeast Iowa. Early industry included coal mining, meat packing, and farm equipment manufacturing, the latter two of which are still major employers in Ottumwa, today, by way of JBS Swift & Co, and John Deere & Co. By 1960, Ottumwa’s population reached a peak of 33,871, but that number began to decline in the latter part of the 20th century due to the closing of several manufacturing plants, various agricultural crisis, and intermittent flooding.
Today, Ottumwa has a population of about 25,000, and according to its Community Development Director, Zach Simonson, it is a city primed and ready to renew and regenerate itself, with plans to attract and retain new businesses and residents. “We face a lot of the same challenges as other small communities across the country,” he explains. “But we are self-sufficient and we have the tools. We have developers, bankers, and a lot of smart folks from the community who are beginning to work on solving those problems.”
Problem number one, according to Simonson, is housing: employers need workers and workers need places to live. So, in 2022, with the assistance of RDG Planning & Design, a local architectural designer, and the Ottumwa Legacy Foundation, a non-profit entity created in 2010 and dedicated to community well-being, the city completed the Ottumwa Housing Plan. “We were clear from the beginning that the study had to be more than data,” says Simonson. “We wanted everyone around the table to agree on recommendations for actions we were going to take. So, we came out with a study that had four or five really strong recommendations, and big goals with specific actions to advance each of those goals. And in the last 14 months, we’ve been making concrete progress toward them.”
For example, the Build Ottumwa program was created to provide a direct incentive for the construction of new single-family homes. It offers a $10,000 economic development grant to anyone who builds such a new home as long as its value exceeds $125,000. “We’ve also been creative with finding approaches to fund multi-family and low-income housing projects,” Simonson adds.
To that end, the city worked with the JBS Corporation, one of its legacy firms, to build affordable housing for its own employees. In 2021, it gave the go-ahead for a 108-unit apartment development which opened for occupancy this past January. “We know that housing is a barrier to new jobs,” Simonson relates. “JBS was a partner because they have jobs to fill and they can’t get a place for people to stay when they look at jobs in Ottumwa. We also know that the problem’s bigger than just apartment housing, but that 108 units take the pressure off and give us the time to do other things. JBS has also been involved in buying distressed housing, flipping it, and making it available for their employees to purchase directly, so they can get into home ownership, as well.”
“One thing that I think is unique is that we’re looking at a strategy around medium density in-fill housing development,” Simonson continues. “We’re going to allow folks to build to an approved site plan on any in-fill lot in the city at medium density. We’re working with 1919 Architects out of Illinois; they’re putting together some site plans for two, four, or even six-unit concepts that will fit on a residential in-fill lot, 50X120. And as long as you build an approved site plan, one that we’ve put together, you can put that development anywhere.
“In addition, we’re going to pay for the full construction drawings, so that we can make design fees not a real factor for the developer, and we’re going to look at some incentives for the first few projects, as well. We know that getting financing for a new housing product is hard; the bank wants to look at ‘similar’ and there aren’t ‘similars’ for that type of thing. So we want to create a big enough incentive to get a couple of projects done, so that those that are successful, the next developer down the road can point to that success when they get financing.”
Simonson adds that a positive aspect of in-fill housing is that the streets, utilities, and sewer lines already exist. “That cuts down on the expense as opposed to a new subdivision,” he avers. “But also, those vacant lots are a draw on the neighborhood. We call it a ‘Swiss cheese neighborhood,’ where, over the years, there are a lot of holes in the fabric. Filling those holes brings the value up for everybody.”
Simonson adds that the strategy of in-fill also works for commercial development, especially in the current economic climate. “First of all, interest rates, being what they are – the national retailers are looking, as much as possible, for second-generation spaces,” he explains. “So, we’ve been really successful working with Retail Strategies out of Birmingham, Alabama as our retail retention/recruitment consultants. We’re looking at how to fill vacancies. And just last week, we were able to announce a new lease for a T.J. Maxx in a former K-Mart space. We’ve got some other pending leases and developments that we’re working on in that area and we’re excited about that partnership.”
“We’re also carrying the same approach downtown,” he continues. “We put together a five-year strategic plan for retail recruitment downtown. We’ve got a beautiful downtown; we completed a streetscape project for Main Street that’s just stunning and we’ve got great buildings. We’ve done everything to make it a great space to be, and now that it’s not what it was when I was growing up, it’s the time to start aggressively trying to get folks to rent and occupy those spaces. We still have vacancies and we’re looking to fill those by recruiting local entrepreneurs and also making an aggressive pitch to regional and national businesses that downtown Ottumwa is open.”
In its pursuit of those local developers, Main Street Ottumwa, designated an Iowa Main Street Program in 2006, created the Business Builder Academy, an eight-week, intensive business training class for nascent entrepreneurs. “We had eight or ten participants in that class, and we already have three that are looking for brick and mortar spaces, including downtown,” Simonson notes. “It’s neat to try and grow that local talent.” Some other conduits for growing local talent in Ottumwa exist at Indian Hills Community College, which has programs in the health sciences and advanced technologies, the Iowa Workforce Development Center, and the Ottumwa Jobs Corps Center.
The city also offers several incentives to current and future downtown businesses. For example, it provides assistance to property owners to “white box” any available space, i.e. allowing them to remove everything from a vacant storefront to show an empty space of just bare floors and white walls to prospective tenants. “We also have a good, strong commercial tax abatement program to make sure that if you’re going to make some significant improvements to a business the tax hit is over time,” says Simonson. “It gives people a chance to recover from the big investment that they’re making.”
The City Commercial Tax Abatement program requires that all eligible property must be commercially assessed and must exist within the created North Urban Revitalization Area. All improvements must increase the assessed value by at least 15%, and qualified improvements must comply with the rules and regulations of the city’s building and zoning codes. Improvements that can qualify for abatement include new construction, rehabilitation, and additions to existing buildings. Applicants can choose from a 3-year or a 5-year abatement plan.
COVID-19 radically changed the way many Americans earn their living. Working from home exploded during the pandemic, and countless people decided not to go back to an office life that necessitated a grueling commute. Simonson says that the city responded by relaxing rules around home-based occupations via changes in its zoning code. “We wanted to give folks the flexibility to do small-scale manufacturing, firearms business, things you weren’t allowed to do from home so easily before,” he recounts. “That’s given people the freedom to look at those gig opportunities or second jobs they can do from home. It allows them to be creative; to do something unique. I’ve got some friends that make candles and some other woodcraft items and now they sell those at fairs on weekends.”
Simonson adds that the city is also working with Mahaska Communications Group (MCG), a local phone and internet provider, which is working on building out its broadband infrastructure to make it available city-wide. “That unlocks a big opportunity,” he states. “We’re aware of the trend toward work from home and broadband is huge. So, we’re eager to start making a big push on it.” He also believes that the city can entice workers from faraway metropolitan areas, such as Chicago, to think about relocating to Ottumwa and working remotely. “We’re an Amtrak community,” he notes. “The California Zephyr comes through every day with service to Chicago, Denver, and points west. We want to make a pitch to folks who are currently working from home and paying, say, $1,800 a month for an apartment in Chicago, that they can live in Ottumwa for a fraction of that, and still have a great opportunity to go back to the big city whenever they want to.”
Meanwhile, Simonson reports that some city projects are focused on improving Ottumwa’s quality of life, responding not only to its current residents’ needs but also as an enticement to those prospective newcomers. One such project is a master plan for Greater Ottumwa Park, a 300-acre site right in the heart of the city. “It’s not really suitable for large-scale new building development, but it’s a really cool and beautiful place,” he says. “We have camped there already, we have sports there already, and the new master plan for that space is going to give us the soccer complex that Ottumwa should have, new tennis courts, new basketball courts, and a more modern shower house for the campground. We want to make it a regional gem for everyone to enjoy.
“We’re also looking at West 2nd St., which is a struggling neighborhood. It’s not very attractive and we’re looking at making that area more beautiful. We’re relaxing our long-time reluctance about having trees too close to the right-of-way. We’re going to do some pretty aggressive free tree plantings and we’re going to make that a beautiful, tree-lined boulevard to greet people as they come into Ottumwa.”
Finally, as part of its downtown master plan, the city is hoping to add electrical charging stations sometimes up the road. “We have two hotels downtown and we know that there are people who make choices about where they stay based on access to those charging stations,” Simonson shares. “We also have a lot of businesses, and we’d love to have that magnetic effect, especially for folks who are, right now, buying electric vehicles. They’re usually the folks who have the money to make a big impact, so we want to make sure that they feel welcome down there.”
Going forward, Simonson believes that this is a time for optimism and growth in Ottumwa. The blueprint is there and the city is committed. “We have made strong plans for progress,” he says in conclusion, “and we’re ready to keep achieving – especially in housing and the quality of life.”

By Tim Smith, Greenville News
December 11, 2008
COLUMBIA — Two groups opposed to a new coal-fired power plant proposed by Santee Cooper on Wednesday asked that Gov. Mark Sanford convene a meeting of Santee Cooper’s advisory board to review the project.
The request is the latest move by environmental organizations in a war over the issue that is expected to eventually wind up in court.
The groups complain that the coal plant will produce too much pollution and prove too costly to ratepayers.
“With Santee Cooper’s rates and costs dramatically increasing, and with so many serious risks to our health and our way of life, we need oversight and accountability, and we need it now,” said Frank Knapp, CEO of the S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce.
But Joel Sawyer, a spokesman for Sanford, said the groups are several years late in asking Sanford to wield any influence on the state-owned utility. Sawyer said those who oppose the plant were absent from the battle Sanford had with lawmakers three years ago over his authority on the Santee Cooper Board.
He said the groups now want Sanford to convene an advisory board, which he described as a “convoluted route” for accountability.
“We’re not sure the (advisory) board has any authority to impact the debate over the coal plant,” he said. “We appreciate their suggestion. IT’s not something we know we’re going to do.”
Sawyer said the governor has not yet taken a stand on the plant but does have concerns about the environmental impact of the project.
According to Knapp, the plant would emit 10 tons of carbon dioxide a year, 7,500 tons of sulfur dioxide, 3,500 tons of nitrogen oxide and almost 1,000 tons of soot.
However, Laura Varn, vice president of communications for Santee Cooper, said she believes the groups are doubling the emissions numbers because the utility has said it is possible it might eventually build two units.
“It will be one of the cleanest power plants in the country when it is built,” she said. “It will be built with the best environmental control technology.”
Knapp said the plant’s initial price tag was $1.99 billion and could end up costing more than $4 billion. Varn said the current price of the plant is $1.25 billion. She said she does not know where the groups’ numbers come from unless they are doubling estimates on the assumption two units will be built.
Ben Gregg, executive director of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, said the plant will present “tremendous legal challenges” because it will be powered by coal. He said plans for the plant amount to a race to build the last coal plant in America.
“Dirty coal is on the way out,” he said.
Knapp said the utility does not have to undergo the same regulatory review process as private and investor-owned utilities. He said while that should happen, the two groups want the issue of the coal plant to be reviewed by the utility’s advisory board, made up of the governor, attorney general, treasurer, comptroller general and secretary of state.
Knapp said while the utility can ignore what the board says, a discussion by the board would at least provide some review.
Varn said the utility is not commenting on what the advisory board should do. But she said construction of the project, which the utility calls the Pee Dee Energy Campus, is “essential.”
“The Pee Dee Energy Campus is essential to meet the state’s future energy needs,” she said. “Coal powers half of America and it still is the nation’s most affordable and abundant fuel source.”
Santee Cooper hopes the plant will be on line by 2014 to help with energy demands before the next nuclear unit starts several years later, Varn said. The utility is awaiting word on permits from the Department of Health and Environmental Control but expects to defend the project in litigation for one to two years as well, she said.

External laser protection officers
Whoever operates class 3B or 4 lasers must appoint laser protection officers. The operation of the laser systems must be regulated in a laser protection concept. The laser systems must be operated in accordance with their operating instructions. Those who do not have this required expertise internally can have it covered externally by SBIS.
External laser safety officers: the most important facts in brief
- Promoters of laser equipment are required by law to draw attention to all hazards inherent in their product.
- The operator has the duty to study the supplied operating instructions with the safety instructions thoroughly before he puts a laser device into operation.
- While for lasers of class 1 the distributor has already ensured safe operation, the operator himself must be concerned for safety when acquiring lasers of classes 3B and 4.
Why is there a need for external laser safety officers?
Reasons why companies need external laser safety officers are:
- Operating class 3B or 4 laser systems without having the in-house expertise (no in-house laser safety officer)
- Sourcing out the expertise when focusing on the core business
The legal basis is formed by the Federal Law on Accident Insurance (UVG) and the Ordinance on the Prevention of Accidents and Occupational Diseases (VUV).
The use of a laser protection officer recommended by the laser standard EN 60825 is an obligation based on the general occupational safety regulations (proof of a safety organization in the case of special hazards, EKAS Directive No. 6508). The laser safety officer and his duties must be specified in writing by the plant management.
Who needs to deal with it?
Compliance with legal obligations is the responsibility of the employer (line organization). Safety officers support the employer in accordance with the company safety system as per EKAS guideline 6508 "ASA guideline" and EKAS publication 6238 "ASA - the recipe for safe and healthy workplaces".
All companies or organizations that use class 3B or 4 laser systems must deal with laser protection. According to SUVA, the following applies: all operators of laser equipment or all employers are obligated to take all necessary measures for safety and health protection in the workplace, to document these measures and to periodically monitor compliance with them. The protection goals are derived from the laser standard
How does SBIS support?
We help you to meet the set requirements in a legally compliant, practical and high quality manner:
- Safety assessment of work equipment
- Determination of exposure and risk assessment
- Measures to avoid or reduce risks
- Preparation / supplementation of work and operating instructions
- Instructing employees about the hazards and correct behavior
- Implementation monitoring
- Establishing a laser protection concept
You benefit from this
The external, certified laser safety officer from SBIS is your independent point of contact for laser safety issues. He carries out a consultation adapted to the operational conditions and geared to the particular hazard. This forms an important proof for the operator with regard to the fulfillment of the legal requirements.

Culture was for me, the reggae act which in the 70s crossed the divide between the nihilism of white boy punk and the spiritual roots of black music. What the music had in common was the apocalyptic warnings of the oppressed and the urgency and excitement of its delivery.
Joe Hill took the role of prophet, praise singer, oral historian and spiritual messenger with natural ease. His primeval vocal style and the wit and irony in his songs positioned Culture as probably the greatest roots rock act to come out of Jamaica.
Culture's performance, as described by the cultural historian Herbie Miller, was 'that churchical style informed by the Pentecostal and Rastafarian lamentation and praise song tradition.'

President Donald Trump’s long bid to reverse the election focuses on invalidating ballots cast in Philadelphia, Detroit, and other heavily democratic cities, an effort that if successful will reduce the number of black voters.
While the Trump campaign says it is targeting only the places most likely to be deceived, Democrats have criticized Democrats for trying to power the president. The President’s lawyers have not presented evidence of widespread fraud in court and have had little success with their legal challenges so far.
“The goal of the American-American community is not subtle,” Bob Bauer, legal adviser to President-Elect Joe Biden’s campaign, said Friday. “I think it’s quite remarkable how shameless it is. It’s very, very disturbing.”
A senior advisor to the Trump campaign, Katrina Pierson, said it aims to protect the vote of every legal voter, including black voters, by defending the integrity of the election. He said that the most irregularities are in the most populous and majority-Democrat areas.
“Democrats have used and abused the Black vote for their own political gains for decades, and their behavior from this cycle proves that nothing has changed.” He said that Trump received more support from the black community in total votes than any candidate in the modern history of the Republican Party.
Trump’s focus on cities with large black populations depends on the fact that his re-election was largely lost in locations outside the battlefield’s urban centers. In suburban counties in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Biden improved his margin of victory by nearly 6 percentage points compared to Hillary Clinton or a combined 361,000 votes in 2016.
In urban counties with a population of over 1 million, relative to Clinton, Biden’s margin increased by just 1.6 points, or 193,000 votes.
In Pennsylvania, the most contested state, the lone suburban electorate was enough to flip the state to Biden. There were no urban voters alone.
But Trump and his allies are not countering the election results in the suburbs. The racial accent of their fight is most evident in Detroit, a city of 79% blacks.
On Tuesday, two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially refused to certify that 3 election results based on votes in Detroit were questionable. Republican Chair of the Board Monica Palmer said during the debate that she would be open to validating the vote in “communities other than Detroit” according to the Detroit Free Press.
Lonnie Scott, executive director of liberal advocacy group Progress Michigan, noted that areas with anomalies such as Livonia would be included, where the population is predominantly white.
The Reverend Wendell Anthony, who is of African-origin Americans, said, “You have removed a black city from a county and the only people who are at fault or at issue are the cities of Detroit.” The head of the Detroit branch of the NAACP told the board after the deadlock over the certification. “You should be ashamed. You should be ashamed.”
Both Republicans reversed their positions after criticism and agreed to ratify the election, then tried to regain their votes after a president named Palmer.
Michigan’s Secretary of State Jokelin Benson, a Democrat, said in an interview on MSNBC that the board’s first vote was an attempt to dismiss black voters based on “mere clerical errors”, not widespread evidence of fraud.
“We’re still steaming all over in Michigan with the certification of votes,” Benson said. “We are certainly not going to allow any partisan effort to make African-American voters stand that way.”
After losing or withdrawing a string of lawsuits that countered his defeat in several states, Trump persuaded Republican-led state legislatures to woo voters and give enough electoral college votes to re-elect voters Lea appears to be legally suspicious and unjustified.
He met with GOP leaders of the Michigan state legislature at the White House on Friday. But after the meeting, Michigan Senate Chief Leader Mike Shirke and House Speaker Lee Chatfield said they had yet to see any reason to change the election result.
“We have not yet been informed of any information that would change the election result in Michigan,” he said in a joint statement. “We will follow the law and follow the general process regarding Michigan voters.”
Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who has seized on a legal effort to challenge the election results, has repeatedly portrayed Philadelphia, Detroit and other cities as corrupt political machines with a history of campaign electoral fraud. Trying to invalidate the votes being run. He has said without evidence that there was a national conspiracy rigged in the election, with Democrats picking up 10 cities where they can “control workers” and law enforcement.
“During a 90-minute press conference with Trump, he said he was involved in an effort to reverse the election,” Giuliani said Thursday during a press conference in Washington.
“They didn’t do it in Republican places,” he said. “They didn’t take it out where the law is respected.”
Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, described the allegations as disrespectful to black people living in cities.
“They are not only targeting black voters, but they are also taking out black election officials and black pollsters and suggesting that they do not have the ability to run elections, as every other community has done.”
Trump trailed Biden by about 156,000 votes in Michigan and by about 81,000 in Pennsylvania, requiring him to invalidate several thousands of ballots.
Many lawsuits seeking invalidation of votes were filed not by the Trump campaign but with sympathy, and those who have not been rejected or withdrawn have little chance of success, the Voting Rights and Elections Program Director Mrun Perez said. The Brennan Center, a non-judicial law and policy institute.
Perez said, “There is no evidence of these cases and there are purely legal principles, and I think the only conclusion that can be reached is that they are trying to target areas with largely minority populations.” Huh.”

Slow Living in Miaoli County
Discovering Miaoli Culture Through Slow Travel
Source：Miaoli County government
With traditional culture kept alive along the county’s coastline and in the mountains, four distinct seasons and a wealth of seasonal flowers and fruit, Miaoli has all it takes for developing slow tourism.
Discovering Miaoli Culture Through Slow TravelBy Integrated Communication Department
“I hail from Nanzhuang Township, and my grandfather and father both lived in Nanzhuang. Toufen Township is the place from where I began to serve the county’s citizens, and Sanwan Township is my wife’s native town. These are all located along the Zhonggang River basin catchment area. I know best what Miaoli needs to do to integrate and transform, how to exploit our Cittaslow (slow city) advantage to develop a distinct ‘one town, one product, one story’ profile to let Miaoli industry shape its future,” says County Magistrate Hsu Yao-chang, confidently pointing out his local expertise.
Having represented Miaoli County in the Legislative Yuan for four terms before being elected county magistrate in 2014, Hsu is fully aware how stressful the rat race of fast-paced city life can be. City dwellers crave downtime, and they hope to slow down to recharge their batteries. Hsu believes this is where Miaoli cultural tourism could help. (Read: Slow Shopping Means More Joy)
Supporting Slow Business Certification, Pushing Cultural Tours and the Slow City Movement
After taking office as county magistrate in 2014, Hsu first took stock of Miaoli’s resources, pooling governmental and private sector forces to actively push for “slow city” status for Nanzhuang and Sanyi towns in the Cittaslow international network of cities where living is good. He intended to introduce the international “slow life” trend to Taiwan to promote cultural slow tours among domestic travelers while using the global Cittaslow network to market Miaoli as an international tourist destination. By picking Nanzhuang in the northeast and Sanyi in the southwest of Miaoli, Hsu hoped to inspire a countywide slow life movement.
Eager to display the results, Hsu points to Nanzhuang as an example: “Nanzhuang evolved from a small town relying on forestry, mining and farming to a Cittaslow international city with a diverse cultural environment, boasting natural scenery, good food, coffee, bed & breakfasts and an ethnically mixed population of Hakka and Minnan Han Chinese as well as Saisiyat and Atayal indigenous peoples. It is the gem of the entire county’s tourism industry.”
Although the overall number of visitors has not markedly declined despite a general slowdown, tourist spending and occupancy have shrunk. In recent years, the county government has encouraged local businesses in Nanzhuang to apply for “slow business” certification to attract young people to return to their hometowns and start businesses. Meanwhile, quite a number of young people have opened cultural and creative guesthouses and hotels. The county government hopes the younger generation can inject new vitality into the city through storytelling and highlighting traditional Hakka arts and crafts. The idea is to use innovation paired with distinct local flair to make people want to stay longer than just a day. Hsu is doing his best to help Miaoli provide the necessary conditions, wholeheartedly welcoming tourists to take leisurely strolls during slow tours to Miaoli.
Hsu points out that the Miaoli people are hardworking and honest. Traditional culture is kept alive along the county’s coastline and in the mountains. With four distinct seasons and a wealth of seasonal flowers and fruit, Miaoli has all it takes for developing slow tourism. (Image: Miaoli County government)
Last Mile of Northern Cross-Island Highway to Facilitate Green Travel
Hsu believes travelers should be encouraged to take public transport when visiting a slow city, since they want to enjoy a leisurely green trip with a low carbon footprint. As county chief, Hsu’s job is to come up with ideas to make transportation more convenient. Transportation is not only the foundation for invigorating the tourism industry, it also benefits local business.
“The Northern Cross-Island Highway is advancing toward the last mile,” says Hsu. “The County Government team fought relentlessly for the construction of the stretch between Douhuanping and Sanwan. In late 2016, the central government finally green-lighted NT$1.8 billion in funding. The project broke ground this January and is slated for completion in 2020. Once the Northern Cross-Island Highway is open to traffic on its entire length, it can effectively ease regional traffic flow, naturally stimulating tourism development in the Nanzhuang, Toufen and Sanwan area.” Moreover, U-Bike rental stations will be set up in 30 locations in more densely populated areas such as Miaoli City, Toufen City and Zhunan Township so that tourists can easily rent bicycles to explore side streets and alleyways and get up close and personal with local culture and people.
Destinations in Miaoli County can also be easily reached on scheduled bus routes run by the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle service. Passengers with one-day tickets can hop on and off the buses as often as they want to visit sightseeing spots and scenic areas along the respective routes. Nanzhuang, the source of the Zhonggang River, boasts panoramic mountain views as it is nestled amid five peaks, including Lion’s Head Mountain. Although there are some fields along the Zhonggang River, which flows through the entire township, the area is quite hilly.
The forestry industry began to develop in Nanzhuang as early as the Qing Dynasty. More than twenty years ago, outdoor coffee shops and unique guesthouses sprang up as travellers began to venture into the county’s lush forests and beautiful scenery, setting a trend for the entire nation. However, for the public and private sector, access and transportation have always been major concerns because they are crucial for the development of the remote mountainous areas.
Nanzhuang is well known for its seasonal views, with colorful bushes and flowering trees such tung flowers, garden croton, and blooming cherry, plum and peach trees. (Image: Miaoli County Government)
Old Industries, New Stories to Promote Nanzhuang Old Street Slow Tours
When Hsu took over as county magistrate, Nanzhuang Bridge was in such disrepair that a person was injured when their wheelchair got stuck in the bridge’s expansion joints. The Public Works Department originally postponed repairs, pointing to a tight financial situation. However, after Hsu personally inspected the site, finding that bridge corrosion was so serious that even the reinforcement bars had become exposed, he immediately released the necessary funds. “The safety of our citizens comes first,” Hsu says. “This bridge links provincial road No. 124 with the villages in the east and west, and it is an important road for tourism. No matter how tight the county government’s finances are, we still need to help.”
Nanzhuang boasts many unique spots, sights and delicacies such as Osmanthus Alley, Dongjiang Hot Springs, the Saisiyat Folklore Museum, spicy pickled greens, persimmons, Makino bamboo shoots, windowsill orchids, golden spider lilies, trout and high-altitude vegetables. The County Government has already obtained central government subsidies for its slow tour project for Nanzhuang Old Street. Under the project, the government will support the revival of 30 stores selling traditional brands, and foster the launch of 20 hip new stores within three years. The shop owners will get advice on revamping their interiors, and young entrepreneurs will be introduced to vacant buildings for housing their businesses. Under the motto “old industries, new stories”, the county government hopes to recreate past splendor that will allow visitors to enjoy a unique blend of “Old Street” nostalgia and modern innovation.
Hydrangea Festival Showcases Miaoli’s Natural Beauty
Nanzhuang is famous across Taiwan for its seasonal blooms – there are tung flowers, garden croton, as well as blooming cherry, plum, and peach trees. Last year, the County Government joined hands with the Nan Jhuang Tourism Industry Association to promote the planting of hydrangeas, handing out subsidies for seedlings. In a concerted effort, the Nanzhuang Hydrangea Festival was launched. During the hydrangea bloom in May and June, Nanzhuang became a colorful sea of beautiful flowers as stunning as Taipei’s Yangmingshan.
For the festival, Hsu made a special trip to Nanzhuang to market hydrangea tourism, discussing mountain development and the preservation with local businesses, fixing route shuttle services, enhancing education and training, and optimizing services. As Hsu admiringly took in the spectacular view – a myriad of flowers carpeting the mountain slopes, lush green forest in a sea of clouds, finches chirping and colorful butterflies fluttering in the air – he noted emphatically:
“We can only relieve stress if we change our lifestyle habits, and we can only see the beauty of Miaoli’s natural simplicity if we slow down to explore slow travel.”

DescriptionThe central work by the world-famous Chuvashian who "writes with an imagistic compression an real time candor that is utterly unique" ("Publishers Weekly").
Lifelong Aygi translator and friend Peter France wrote in "The Guardian": "Aygi wrote from a deep awareness of the losses and destructions of the 20th century." "Field-Russia" is a book of poems arranged shortly before Aygi's death, which in his view occupied a central place in his work. The collection opens with an informal conversation about poetry, and is followed by a series of little lyric "books"--"Field-Russia, Time of the Ravines," and "Final Departure"--that form a part of Aygi's "life-book." Like Ahkmatova and Celan before him, Aygi has left us with these most necessary words to dwell in--a quiet, spiritual poetry in a time of uprootedness and despair.

Gaelic football is an Irish team sport. It is a form of football derived from traditional Irish ball games. It is played between two teams of 15 players on a rectangular grass pitch. The objective of the sport is to score by passing the ball through the other team's goals (3 points) or a set of two upright posts separated by a crossbar 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) above the ground (1 point).
Players advance the football, a spherical leather ball, up the field with a combination of carrying, bouncing, kicking, hand-passing, and soloing (dropping the ball and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands). In the game, two types of scores are possible: points and goals. A point is awarded for kicking or hand-passing the ball over the crossbar, signalled by the umpire raising a white flag. A goal is awarded for kicking the ball under the crossbar into the net, signalled by the umpire raising a green flag. Positions in Gaelic football are similar to that in other football codes, and comprise one goalkeeper, six backs, two midfielders, and six forwards, with a variable number of substitutes.

Responding to help you growing demand for investment, a prominent lender is continuing to grow their choices to help you in the world college students. Prodigy Financing recently revealed which has grown what amount of places where it operates in addition to incorporating 150 spring season programs. A whole lot more expansions are structured to own slip 2022, the company says in the a launch.
Loan requests open on December seven and company expects an effective 50% growth in funds next season. Prodigy can now capable render fund to help you youngsters out-of over 120 nations.
Immediately following a challenging 2020, i indeed noticed the rebirth out-of worldwide beginner demand within the 2021 which have pupils finding even more financing assistance within the white from diminishing scholarships and grants and shorter personal loans, states Joel Frisch, Prodigy's lead out of buy.
A lot more Regions, Significantly more People
Prodigy, a great fintech system established by INSEAD MBAs in 2007, are now able to offer funds to a lot of high markets that have been before excluded because of eligibility limitations. People are Asia, Russia, Australia, Bangladesh, South Korea, Spain, Chile, Singapore, France, Germany and you will The japanese, also really places in the South america.
The newest circulate pursue a beneficial $five-hundred billion resource deal with Canadian Type of pension Expenditures, a world leader from inside the place investing, according to Prodigy's discharge. You to bargain appeared on the pumps of some other $250 mil manage the new U.S. Around the globe Development Funds Corporation.
The excess $750 mil when you look at the financial support failed to have reach a far greater day. Prodigy's application analysis shows that, over the course of the brand new pandemic, mediocre for every-college student scholarships and grants and private discounts ount out of questioned fund improved 20.7% off $51,846 inside the 2019 to help you $62,600 for the 2021. (Get a hold of graph below).
Prodigy Finance's loan application studies features that the requirement for financial support is far more pressing than before, which have advertised goes up inside the university fees, reduced grant and restricted private savings. It is obvious one to just like the around the world graduate college student needs still move, the means to access resource will be a critical piece of the fresh new employment process, checks out the company's launch.
The great COVID Move-Right up
The fresh new move is likely a pleasant opposite off chance for around the globe pupils finding searching for a keen MBA in the us and different countries. Inside the March, the latest pandemic forced Prodigy Funds so you're able to briefly personal big avenues as well as highest places particularly Australian continent, Canada, and you may Germany getting tens of thousands of globally youngsters inside limbo on the slide session. Following, the business cited resource constraints toward lingering COVID-19 break out and you can relevant investor concerns.
We are really not an equilibrium sheet lender, Frisch informed Poets&Quants it spring.. We don't give our personal money. We have been a patio that matches highest-possible college students as to what I might deem impactful money, so people that are looking both monetary and you may public efficiency …
It is one hundred% a Covid-related point which will be strictly a result of matching dealers exactly who have an interest in investing those regions, and is something that we have been capable properly do over many years
The new expansions put out this week have a tendency to now only help secure the ambitions regarding many even more pupils, the business claims, nonetheless it will help the worldwide higher education business always cure the important falls within the consumption on account of Covid limits. Over the last season . 5, worldwide scholar students has actually exhibited its commitment to making amounts overseas no matter what good pandemic, global financial action, and challenged job segments.
Various other Bank Develops Functions
Prodigy is not necessarily the merely around the globe bank increasing attributes. MPOWER Capital doubled the credit limit so it fal l of $fifty,100 to help you $one hundred my explanation,100 and you will revealed a different sort of refinancing selection for worldwide youngsters a number of days afterwards. MPOWER doesn't need a credit score, security otherwise a You.S. cosigner for the finance, however, prizes financial support centered on students' coming getting potentials.
The newest purpose is without question most, extremely private personally, MPOWER co-creator and Ceo Emmanuel Manu Smadja informed Poets&Quants. I found myself a major international college student me twenty-two in years past. We originated France off to brand new U.S., and i performed okay academically, however, battled financially. Which is very what grown an excellent vegetables during my direct.
Prodigy's business model is created for the proven fact that usage of capital to possess worldwide graduate degree are borderless and you can based on upcoming possible instead of latest situation, according to release.
They should not number in which a student could have been born otherwise life, or how rich their family is, which can be instead considering them being able to access the fresh degree needed to fulfil the possible, the firm says. It has got funded more $step one billion into the graduate fund up until now and you may offered more 20,one hundred thousand people off over 100 countries.

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
The Washington Post
Exactly one year ago, when the conductorless Orpheus Chamber Orchestra performed at the Music Center at Strathmore in a program that included two Mozart piano concertos, I wondered here in print whether going it alone in that repertoire was really optimal, given the complexity of the scores and the naturally opposing forces of soloist and orchestra.
Nothing impresses me more than chutzpah, and Thursday night the same forces in the same hall upped the ante considerably, putting on the gargantuan Brahms Piano Concerto in D Minor, this time with Yefim Bronfman riding shotgun. I doubt whether such a thing had been attempted before, anywhere.
Every musician onstage was a consummate professional who relished this unprecedented challenge. The results were impressive -- every Orpheus performance is -- but it was a stunt nonetheless. The head-bobbing required of the concertmaster to commence and maintain the Adagio, for example, made many of us nervous. The brief, intense three-voice canon that precedes the solo entry in the first movement was unbalanced, and there was a distinct sense of the musicians "hanging on to" one another throughout. Even Bronfman was called upon to give cues, and he had his hands full.
The additional tension did not seem to faze him, however; the solo part was spread on a wide, colorful canvas, and the big second-subject solos in the first movement were masterfully built up. Earlier, Orpheus gave sparkling readings of three Brahms Hungarian Dances and Schoenberg's lush Chamber Symphony No. 1.

Distribution system reliability enhancement using optimal capacitor placement
ABSTRACT Failure statistics of most utilities indicate that distribution systems make the greatest individual contribution to the unavailability of supply to customers. Optimal capacitor placement in distribution systems has a number of advantages such as reducing losses, improving voltage profile, improving power factor and so on. The conventional objective function of the optimal capacitor placement consists of the total cost of losses and investments. Since capacitors supply reactive loads locally, they improve the load-carrying capability of the lines and therefore play the same role as redundant lines. Thus, optimal capacitor placement can also improve the reliability indices of a distribution system. Therefore two new objective functions are defined here. The first one is defined as the sum of reliability cost and investment cost. The second is defined by adding the reliability cost, cost of losses and investment cost. The latter is a comprehensive objective function which is the resultant of the conventional and reliability-based objective functions. This problem is solved using a particle swarm optimisation-based algorithm. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed approach are examined using a distribution network.
Article: Optimal Capacitor Placement and Sizing in Distribution Systems with Harmonics Consideration Using a Hybrid Method Based on Simulated Annealing and Generic Algorithm[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a hybrid algorithm formed by combining the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm (SA-GA) for solving the optimal capacitor placement problem in distribution systems. The objective is to minimize the energy losses in the system while taking the capacitor installation costs into consideration. The capacitor cost is a step-like and, therefore, a non-differentiable function. Load variations, load constraints, operational constraints and constraints on capacitor types and sizes will be all considered in the problem formulation. Models of the distribution system at the fundamental frequency and at harmonic frequencies are established in order to include the non-linear loads into the problem formulation. Nonlinear loads are included to make sure that the resulting harmonic distortion levels are within the acceptable limits. The solution algorithm is implemented into a software package in MATLAB and tested on a 30-bus distribution system containing a loop. Simulation results signify the robustness of the developed SA-GA in finding the optimal locations and ratings of shunt capacitors.Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering 01/2012; 37(2):49-55. · 0.24 Impact Factor
Conference Proceeding: Optimisation of Distributed Generation units and shunt capacitors for economic operation of distribution systems[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The integration of Distributed Generation (DG) units and shunt capacitors can be considered as an alternative approach for distribution system expansion planning not only to improve power supply quality and reliability, but also to defer major system updates. In this paper, the techno-economic issues of distribution system expansion planning with optimal sizing and siting of DG units and shunt capacitors are addressed. The minimisation of overall investment cost with the integration of DG units and shunt capacitors is assessed with the consideration of supply quality, reliability and energy loss. A new planning methodology by using Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is proposed to minimise the overall cost for optimal sizing and siting of DG units and shunt capacitors. The proposed methodology is tested on a remote 11 kV radial distribution feeder and results are reported.Power Engineering Conference, 2008. AUPEC '08. Australasian Universities; 01/2009

In the emotional letter posted on the Work B**ch hitmaker's website, Britney assures fans that Britney Jean will be 'my most personal record yet' and that she has 'poured my heart and soul' into the album.
"Dear Fans, I haven’t sat down to write you guys in SUCH a long time. Long overdue! We’re all so used to getting our thoughts out in 140 characters, but sometimes its nice to take time to sit down and write something a little longer and more personal," the former X Factor USA judge opened.
"I am putting the finishing touches on my new album, “Britney Jean” over the next few days and I am so excited for you to hear it. I poured my heart and soul into this album and it’s been an incredible journey," Britney wrote.
"I’ve learned a lot about myself, and as I am finishing, I am reminded of the incredible foundation that has supported me for the last 15 years. Thank you all for continuing to follow me on this journey and for allowing me to do what I love to do."
"I can’t believe this is my eighth studio album and I know I keep telling you that it is my most personal record yet, but its true and I’m really proud of that," she continued.
"I have been through a lot in the past few years and it has really inspired me to dig deeper and write songs that I think everyone can relate to."
Adding: "Working with people like Sia, William Orbit, and of course Will.i.am has been an amazing experience. They have listened to all of my ideas and helped me bring them to life. There are a lot of really fun, upbeat dance songs, but it was important to me that I show my strength, and my attitude, and my vulnerability."
"Of course, I also have some surprises for you guys ;) I want to show you the different sides of Britney Spears. I am a performer. I am a Mom. I am funny. I am your friend! I am Britney Jean," Britney finished.
Britney Jean, which is the Toxic singer's eighth album, will be released on 2nd December.

For the second quarter in a row, an index that measures Irish peoples' confidence in their finances rose in the last three months of last year.
Standard Life's Financial Confidence Index has increased over the last quarter from 49.4 in October 2013 to 51 in January 2014.
This is the first time the index has increased in two consecutive quarters since 2008, when it hit an all-time high of 66.7 in March 2008.
The index now stands well above its all-time low of 47.6 recorded in July 2013.
Almost all age groups feel more financially confident than they did last quarter, with only one age group (those aged between 25 and 34) experiencing a decrease.
Retired people are significantly more confident than those who are non-retired or not working.
Those aged 65+ experienced the largest increase in confidence scores, moving from 58.9 to 63.1 followed by those aged 35 to 44 whose confidence increased from 47.7 to 51.3. Those aged 65+ continue to be the most confident age group while those aged 25 to 34 are the least confident at 46.5.
"Confidence has steadily improved in the past six months as economic growth and employment prospects appear to have improved," said Brendan Barr, head of marketing at Standard Life. A number of other factors are also contributing positively, including the rise in property values. Also, the October Budget was generally neutral for most peoples' pay-packets, the first time in many years that most people haven't felt worse off after a Budget," he said.
On a regional basis Dublin continues to be the most confident region with an average score of 53.6 ahead of Connaught/Ulster which experienced a large increase of 3.8 points to reach an average score of 50.9.
Munster is the least financially secure region with a score of 48.9.

Quality and Safety of Food and FeedPhoto: ATB
Nutrition for humans and animals - gentle processes from harvest to consumption
The projected growth of the world's population to more than nine billion people by 2050 and other factors will entail changes in food production, global supply chains, the international economy, and the global food culture. With regard to global food security, our research work is particularly focusing on reducing losses and using by-products and alternative bioresources in order to promote the required sustainable intensification of bio-economic food production and to meet the needs of a dynamic consumer culture - without losing sight of the welfare of public health and the environment.
The impact of food production, processing, distribution and disposal accounts for about one third of global CO2 emissions - a large part of these emissions are related to food production, but the share of emissions caused by processing, distribution, disposal and consumption is steadily increasing. In this context, we design sustainable processes that have a targeted effect on the biosystems involved in food (micro-organisms, plants, animals, humans) and enable the realization of partially contrary process objectives in the post-harvest chain.
In line with the concept of circular bioeconomy, we address complex scientific questions relating tasks between primary production and processing of food and feedstuffs (e.g. fruit, vegetables, cereals, herbs, spices, milk, insects), thereby considering the potential of the residues produced in the context of the material and energetic use of biomass.
We develop tailor-made physical, physico-chemical and biological processes, taking into account important food ingredients, microbial systems, the properties of the products, as well as production-dependent working conditions and environmental influences. With innovative and interdisciplinary approaches as well as specific control and regulation strategies we contribute to the improvement of quality and safety throughout all areas of future food production.
With a view towards sustainable intensification, we examine the production chain of fresh and largely unprocessed cellular food matrices and, based on batch- and product-specific process design and basic product-process interactions, we develop integrated approaches for loss minimization in the postharvest sector. Gentle preservation methods (e.g. non-thermal decontamination, cooling, drying, packaging) are of key importance during postharvest processing.We characterize microbiological, physiological and biophysical product properties in interaction with the respective process in order to develop sensors, adaptive processes and corresponding control and regulation strategies.
Based on the specific product knowledge, we create conditions for a sustainably intensive production of high-quality food and feed by means of model-supported and quality-optimized process design. Compiling time- and location-resolved information on product status along the entire value chain taking advantage of our expertise in data science enables us to create the tools for the targeted and long-term redesign of production systems.
Considering the increasing demand in protein supply for humans and animals and the resulting research requirements, we are focusing intensively on the exploitation of alternative protein sources for food and feed production. We are investigating novel or hitherto rarely considered bioresources (insects, hemp, algae, etc.) and are developing holistic value-added concepts for future bio-economic production, which also take into account the use of other components such as lipids and polysaccharides during preparation and processing. For this purpose we employ tailor-made process modules and innovative non-thermal processes (high-voltage pulses, ultrasound, isostatic high pressure, cold atmospheric pressure plasma) and optimize conventional processes (drying, fermentation). Our research into product-process interactions and the measurement of structure- and process-related physicochemical and techno-functional properties provide an essential basis for the development of innovative, sustainable and product-friendly processes and new types of combination processes. We strategically combine the key topics of food and feed and interlink the cross-departmental and cross-research programme processing of systemic research issues.

New presidents at Dayton-area colleges face host of challenges
Send this to a friend
(Page 2 of 3)
“There are a lot of potential partnerships between community colleges and universities,” Blondin said, “The most important thing you can do as a school is assist with workforce development. Knowing that, the programs where we graduate students should ensure employability in our region.”
Tracking long-term market demands is tricky. While Kettering College remains focused on the lucrative health care jobs market, it still must be thinking about how its curriculum will translate into employment for its students 10 years into the future through such factors as retirements, the state of the economy, an aging population and how these will affect the industry at large.
“We have to be forward thinking about that in higher education,” Bryan said. “We’re not training you for a job yesterday or this morning, we’re saying to a freshman, ‘this degree is good for you because there will be demand for this particular job three, four or five years down the road.’”
In health care, Bryan sees demand for mid-level education for physician assistants, specialized nurses and nurse practitioners as policy makers and health care businesses look to control costs.
While the changing industry means less educated professionals such as physician’s assistants are being called on to do more tasks of physicians, it also means more education is being emphasized, such as in nursing where there has been a push for more nurses with two-year degrees to seek bachelor’s degrees.
Blondin said so-called “enrollment management,” which targets certain populations of students that might not otherwise seek a college degree, must play a greater role as the state seeks a more highly educated workforce.

Fire in New York City apartment block kills 19
At least 19 people, including nine children, died in a major fire at an apartment building in the Bronx in New York City on Sunday.
A total of 63 people were injured in the blaze, with 32 being taken to hospitals in “life-threatening condition,” New York City Fire Department Commissioner Daniel Nigro told reporters. A firefighter was also injured. Most of the injuries were caused by smoke inhalation.
Nigro said the 19-story building at 333 East 181st Street caught fire around 11 a.m. The fire started in a duplex apartment split between the second and third floors of the building, officials said. The door to this unit had been left open, allowing smoke and flames to quickly spread throughout the building.
Almost 200 firefighters were deployed to fight the flames. Nigro said the first crews arrived within minutes and found victims “on every floor and in stairwells” in “cardiac and respiratory arrest”.
“They were hit in the hallway with this fire, very heavy smoke, very heavy fire,” Nigro said. “Units have entered. The smoke extended the full height of the building, which is very unusual.”

Officials said the fire has since been “put down,” meaning the main part has been suppressed. Investigations into the cause continued, but New York City Mayor Eric Adams told reporters Sunday night that it “appears as if this was from a space heater.”
“The numbers are startling,” Adams said. “This will be one of the worst fires we have seen in modern times.”
The fire was one of the deadliest residential fires in recent US history. Thirteen people died in a Bronx apartment fire in 2017, according to statistics from the National Fire Protection Association.
Last week, a family of 12, including eight children, died in a fire at a Philadelphia row house a week ago. Officials are investigating whether this disaster was caused by a child playing with a lighter near a Christmas tree.

Did you know that you can freeze ginger?
No longer do you have to worry about your beloved ginger shriveling up and drying out before you can use all of it. Frozen ginger lasts much longer and it is easier to grate too — bonus!
Simply place the unpeeled ginger in a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer for up to 6 months (source).
Another interesting tidbit about ginger is that you can peel it with the edge of a spoon. I learned this from the queen of vegan cookbooks herself, Isa Chandra Moskowitz.

Haitian health group providing vital service
I appreciate the ongoing coverage of the Haitian Health Foundations Jeremie, Haiti activities. HHF's young executive director, Marilyn E. Lowney, offers advice that steadies the difficult course of recovery not only from the earthquake but from centuries of inadequacies. Her response, "Look at the person you're helping" is not sexy advice, but a message that is constant, caring and supportive.
Many Americans recognize both the horrors of the Haitian poverty and the obligation to participate in a positive way to help create a climate of economic and social stability in which Haitians themselves will be able to move into the healthy living patterns of our times. Neither the UN, the U.S. government, nor multiple international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have found this easy; instead they have discovered that money alone is not enough.
HHF has provided a personal presence of energetic and caring Americans, both here and in Haiti, who participate in the daily efforts of the Haitian people to create a self functioning nation of the 21st century.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that Ireland's economic outlook is "clouded by considerable external risks" and that government policy should focus on maintaining stability and strengthening resilience to shocks.
In a statement following an official staff visit to Ireland, the IMF said that Ireland had shown "remarkable resilience" to the recent shocks of Covid and rampant inflation while forecasting moderate growth this year and next.
The IMF forecast GDP growth of 1.5% in 2023 and 2.7% in 2024, significantly down of 12% in 2021-22.
Modified Gross National Income, meanwhile, is expected to increase 2.5% in 2023-24, and inflation is projected to average 5.3% in 2023 and 3.2% in 2024 before reaching the long-term ECB target of 2% in late 2025.
The UN financial agency found that Ireland's fiscal position had "strengthened considerably" on the back of strong tax revenues, but warned that the financial system would be tested by tighter financial conditions.
Risks to Ireland's economic outlook include a further weakening of external demand, surging commodity prices, the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and tighter financial conditions.
As a smaller, highly open economy, Ireland is also significantly affected by deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, and the IMF warned that changes to the international tax environment could have greater consequences for the country than envisioned.
Retrenchment by multinationals with deep ties to Ireland could lead to lower employment growth, tax receipts, and confidence.
"Policies should focus on maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability and strengthening resilience in a shock-prone world," the IMF said in its concluding statement."
The agency added that this would required continued fiscal prudence to support disinflation and to build buffers against risks such as the ageing population and climate change as well as continued heightened vigilance against financial stability risks.
With regards to Budget 2024, the IMF said that a smaller, better targeted package would have been less costly while still protecting the most vulnerable, and that one-off spending measures to ease cost-of-living measures should be phased out.
It added that the government needed to advance structural reforms to boost housing supply, strengthen productivity, and accelerate the green transition.
