Christmas car parking offer will not boost trade says Dunmow Town Team
- Credit: Archant
Dunmow Town Team has described Christmas car parking arrangments from the district council as an “anti-gesture”.
Uttlesford District Council (UDC) will introduce a free after 2pm initiative for all of the car parks it manages – except the Fairycroft/Waitrose car park in Saffron Walden – from December 1 up to Christmas eve.
UDC will also make all parking free at its car parks in Dunmow, Stansted and Saffron Walden from Christmas Day to Monday, January 2, also with the exception of Fairycroft.
The council says the estimated loss of revenue from the free after 2pm initiative in Dunmow would be in the region of £4,350, based on last year’s ticket sales.
For the whole of Uttlesford, UDC says the estimated loss from the free parking offered would be in the region of £10,000.

Alex Armstrong, Dunmow town councillor and town team member, said he feels the proposals do not benefit businesses in the town.
He said: “We do not think it is beneficial at all. Free after 2pm is just the period where the least money will be lost. Parents have to do the school run at 3pm, so it doesn’t give them much time to do anything in town.”

The Dunmow Town Team, along with the town council, proposed that parking be free from 10am to 1pm in all four of the town’s car parks – Angel Lane, Chequers Lane, New Street, and White Street – from October 1 until December 31.
They also wanted parking to be free in all four car parks on Saturday, December 3 – the date of the town’s Christmas lights switch-on event.
Cllr Armstrong added: “Last year they gave us a free after 3pm offer, which wasn’t a great success and there is no evidence to suggest it made any difference at all.
“We put forward a number of different proposals that could be promoted with discount days and special offers.
“The free after 2pm is a gesture, but it’s more of an anti-gesture because it does not benefit businesses in Dunmow. The plans are against the spirit of the town team.”
Councillor Susan Barker, UDC cabinet member for environmental services, said: “The proposals put forward by the Dunmow Town Team were extremely costly and there were some complicated changes involved with the ticket machines, which are not as young and robust as they should be.
“There were concerns that making the programming changes they wanted might lead to break downs with the machines.
“We hope to meet again in the new year to discuss how best to support businesses in the town through parking offers.”

Want to help small business owners? Then head over to the bar.
Continue Reading Below
Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch – maker of Samuel Adams – launched a program called Brewing the American Dream in 2008, which aims to help small business owners grow their businesses in the food, beverage and hospitality industries. The program offers mentorship as well as microloans, for which the interest rate depends on both the size of the loan and the borrower’s history, but according to the company are competitive with standard loan rates.
Koch says the idea for the initiative was born after an unfulfilling “giving back” afternoon with his employees painting a community center.
“What was bothering me was that we had spent $20,000 worth of management time doing $2,000 in bad painting,” Koch says.
He says he then decided to leverage his team’s experience in a more valuable way, providing both microloans and consulting to small business owners across the country.
Chris Spinelli, co-founder of Roc Brewing Company, is one of the small brewers who received a microloan via Koch’s program.
“We received $10,000 and were able to buy a keg washer, which was very important to us,” says Spinelli.
Spinelli and his co-founder also say they benefited from the one-on-one coaching sessions at the Boston Beer Company, where they met with Koch, as well as executives in the marketing, public relations, sales and legal departments.
Koch says one of his motivations for the program is to help other craft brewers avoid the same mistakes he made 29 years ago, when he started the Boston Beer Company.
“A few things might be better learning through trial and error, but it’s not fun when you’re trying to figure out the important terms of a real estate lease – trial and error means you’ve screwed up for five to ten years!” Koch says.
Even though he had an MBA from Harvard and years of consulting experience from the Boston Consulting Group, Koch says he still didn’t have the “nuts and bolts” knowledge necessary to run a company. This is the type of wisdom he hopes to pass on through the Brewing the American Dream program.
The program partners with Accion, a nonprofit microlender, and has already provided over $2 million in financing 230 small businesses, creating or saving nearly 1,400 jobs. And until the end of the month, 5 cents from every Samuel Adams Boston Lager sold will go toward funding the program.

In 1998, Dr. Vincent Felitti and his colleagues published a groundbreaking article in which the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on adult health was first identified (http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(98)00017-8/fulltext). They studied ten risk factors across three types of abuse—psychological, physical, and sexual—and four types of household dysfunction—substance abuse, mental illness, intimate partner violence, and criminal behavior. As the number of risk factors increased, so did the likelihood that the individual experienced diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic bronchitis or emphysema, and diabetes in later life. Research in the intervening years has indicated other effects of ACEs—depression, alcoholism and alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, risk for intimate partner violence, and suicide attempts. For youth, ACEs may mean early initiation of smoking, early initiation of sexual activity, teen pregnancy, and poor academic achievement.
In 2012, Dr. Jack Shonkoff and his colleagues published research that promoted the need for physicians to take a more active role in alleviating toxic stress in childhood (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/129/1/e232). Their premise was that early adversity leads to later impairments in learning, behavior, and both physical and mental well-being.
As of July 2017, an estimated 22.7% or 2,332,066 persons were under the age of 18 in North Carolina. Because a large percentage of children ages 0 to 3 years visit primary care, pediatric, and public clinics, physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants are in an ideal position to have a positive impact on the development of child outcomes by promoting positive parenting behaviors; offering anticipatory guidance; educating parents about optimal child development outcomes; conducting routine screening, targeted skill-building interventions, and problem-focused counseling; and referring families to community services and supports. Through these measures, primary care clinicians have the opportunity to change the trajectory of children experiencing early adversity by offering evidence-based interventions and support services to mothers and significant others before and after delivery. For example, an estimated 7.5% of children ages 2 to 5 years are abused and neglected. Primary care providers, pediatricians, and staff at public clinics should have basic skills to provide support and guidance on how to manage negative child behaviors, identify ways to manage both caregiver and child stress, and basic parenting tips. They should also be aware of when a referral to a community partner is needed, and be able to provide a list of where individuals can go to receive the support and services they need. An estimated 11% of women suffer from postpartum depression and maternal depression. All providers that work with women who are postpartum—obstetrician/gynecologists, pediatricians, primary care providers, and family physicians—should become familiar with the symptoms of postpartum depression, integrate appropriate postpartum screening tools into visits, and ensure that, when clinically indicated, referrals are made to psychiatrists and therapists that have training in supporting women with postpartum or maternal depression.
Social determinants include health and access to medical care, adequate housing, education, economic stability, lifestyle, and social and community context. When ACEs are viewed as a component of the social determinant of health, healthcare professionals are in the position to effect changes during pregnancy and early childhood by adopting a nonjudgmental, educative role and offering evidence-based interventions that promote supportive and nurturing relationships and reduce toxic stress. Research has indicated that safe, stable, nurturing relationships have a significant protective effect on breaking the cycle of violence and improving health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has played a large role in issuing a series of prevention guides and tools to assist clinicians and staff of child-serving agencies (https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/childmaltreatment/prevention.html).

Thank goodness for Clif Bar!! I have been a bit busy with work, getting the house ready to put up for sale and looking for a new house, (or motorhome -stay tuned!) so I haven’t had the time I would have liked to experiment with nutrition bars. Enter Clifbars - an ethical company that takes whole food seriously. Plant based nutrition AND free of hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup who have sponsored me on this Ultraman journey AND as well as fuelling me have sent me some cool kit! I did find the time, however, to make these Super Simple and easy to put together (right up my alley!) Onigiri. A Japanese rice ball popular in ultra race aid stations due to its cooling effect on the body – loaded with carbohydrates, electrolytes and salt and easy to digest to boot. The photo is google image (mine weren’t so pretty) and I got the recipe from :
By Scott Jurek, Steve Friedman
2 cups sushi rice
4 cups water
2 teaspoons miso or umeboshi paste
3-4 sheets nori seaweed
Follow the directions for cooking the rice, then rinse and place the rice in the fridge over night to cool.
Using your hands, form a 1/3 -1/4 cup rice into a triangle. Spread 1/4 teaspoon miso or umeboshi paste evenly on one side of the triangle. Cover with another 1/3-1/4 cup rice. Shape into one triangle, making sure the miso is covered with rice. Using half of one sheet of nori, wrap the rice triangle in nori, making sure to completely cover the rice.
Next time I make these, I am going to make a bit smaller. These lasted a good 4-5 bites and on the bike I am not going to want to hold on to these suckers for that long. I also added pickled ginger (to keep the tummy happy). On the whole I am happy with these and with the seaweed sheets they have their own wrapper.
They are a big hit when you’ve been having sweet stuff and want something salty and savoury. But I’m not against trying these with almond butter or honey…
My favourite thing in the world is quick and easy to assemble snacks with as few ingredients as possible – hopefully at some point I will have the time to get stuck in making more bars. The toughest thing about triathlon- fitting life in between training sessions!
*This week I spent:
4 hours swimming (missed one session)
4 hours running
7 hours biking (cut 2 sessions short)
The Sasquatch Gang
Carpool karaoke with Gwen Stefani, Adel, Sia, JLo, One Direction, Chris Martin, and Elton John – and yes, I sang along.
Hundreds of swimming videos (at least 10)
Britain’s Next Top Model cycle 10… all 9 episodes… I’m not proud of this.

Bitcoin (BTC) has surpassed the $70,000 mark once again, indicating a renewed interest in the cryptocurrency. This rise in price is accompanied by a significant decrease in the supply of Bitcoin on one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase. On March 18, the amount of Bitcoin held on Coinbase reached its lowest point in nine years, with only 344,856 BTC remaining. This is a clear indication that investors are accumulating Bitcoin, rather than keeping it on exchanges.
Data from Glassnode also shows that the total Bitcoin balance in accumulation addresses has surged to over 3.20 million BTC, approaching a record high. Accumulation addresses refer to wallets that hold over 10 BTC and have no outgoing transactions or links to centralized exchanges or mining firms. This data further supports the notion that investors are actively accumulating Bitcoin.
There has been a significant increase in Bitcoin inflows to accumulation addresses, reaching an all-time high of 25,300 BTC on March 22. This suggests that large investors are confident in Bitcoin’s future and expect further growth, even after the recent downturn from its all-time high.
Notably, the overall Bitcoin reserves on all exchanges have hit their lowest point in three years, with only 1.92 million BTC remaining as of March 25. This indicates a widespread decrease in the supply of Bitcoin across various exchanges.
With Bitcoin supply at historic lows on exchanges and the increasing demand from exchange-traded funds (ETFs), it is likely that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. ETFs have already attracted billions of dollars in investments, further driving the demand for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has surpassed the $70,000 mark and shows signs of continued growth. The supply of Bitcoin on Coinbase has reached a nine-year low, indicating that investors are accumulating the cryptocurrency. The total Bitcoin balance in accumulation addresses has also increased significantly, suggesting that large investors are betting on its future success. With Bitcoin reserves on exchanges at historic lows and growing demand from ETFs, it is expected that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise.

The Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology – an update of John Julian’s A Dictionary of Hymnology was completed and published. It was edited by J.R. Watson and Emma Hornby, and published as an online resource by the Canterbury Press following a launch conference at the University of Bristol in October 2013. Since John Julian’s supplement was published in 1907 several attempt had been made to update Julian’s work, but for various reasons these attempts never reached completion. Thus the 2013 publication represented the first successful attempt to update Julian’s work for over a century.
The Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology – www.hymnology.co.uk – contains contributions from over 300 worldwide authors, several thousand articles, and over two million words. The launch conference was held over three days at the New Room/John Wesley’s Chapel and the Victoria Rooms at the University of Bristol. The conference concluded with a Festal Evensong at St Mary Redcliffe at which Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith preached.
Hymnology is a scholarly field which concerns itself with the study aspects of hymnody such as the textual history and characteristics of hymns, their musical history, the relationship between text and tune, and the cultural and religious contexts in which hymns exist.

The Research Society
The Research Society is the premier organisation for those interested in research in all its forms in Albion. Their main building in London's Bedford Square unites three Georgian homes, allowing space for the favoured of the members to have offices, as well as offices for research fellows. The society is meant to be a place to find and connect with experts on various topics, as well as support ongoing detailed academic research in the magical community beyond what the Five Schools, the Trellech Library, or the Academy at Oxford focus on. A handful of Fellows get appointments each year, usually to support projects of general public interest, while also providing those Fellows with a chance to focus on their research (rather than having to work additional jobs.) Magician's Hoard deals with goings-on at the Research Society, where Ibis Ward is a fellow and Pross Gates wishes to confer and get some expert advice. A number of other members appear in the course of the book.

My mom taught me to crochet and I learned how to knit from a video
Anything soft. It's got to feel good.
I would make a beautiful intricate shawl. I'm assuming I'd be alone because I would have to mumble the directions to myself...and no one could talk to me.
I am a fiber fanatic! I love to knit and crochet for my 6 granchildren. Mostly fun hats, but I made a really cool knit entrelac blanket for the youngest, and also a crocheted baby shower cake.
I love the many weekly options. Wish I could attend more

7. F for Fake (1973) by Orson Welles (1915–1985)
Known for his distinctive voice, his 1937 Broadway adaptation of Julius Caesar, his 1938 narration of the radio adaptation of “The War of the Worlds”, his magic performances at troop variety shows and as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Orson Welles’ career was a bittersweet one.
In 1941, at the age of 26, he directed, co-wrote, produced and starred in Citizen Kane, one of the greatest debuts in cinema history and a film which is often cited as the greatest film of all time. After directing Kane, he was rarely allowed to make any subsequent film in total freedom His films were often edited without his permission or approval and many still remain unreleased.
F for Fake was initially a documentary about Elmyr de Hory, one of history’s most famous art forgers and consists of interviews with Clifford Irving ,who wrote the book, “Fake! The Story of Elmyr de Hory the Greatest Art Forger of Our Time” . The film also examines the love-hate relationship between the two men. Welles then appears as himself in the film interacting with the main players, in the cinematic equivalent of Gonzo journalism.
Noted for its outstanding editing techniques, the film then explores Welles early radio career, Pablo Picasso’s obsessions and Howard Hughes’ controversial biography. The film has been described as a kind of film .
6. That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) by Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
A filmmaker famous for his surrealist sequences, an indication of his vivid imagination, Luis Buñuel was born in Spain and worked in Mexico and France.
His debut Un Chien Andalou (1929), which he wrote with Salvador Dali, was called “the most famous short film ever made” by critic Roger Ebert.During a nearly a 50 year career, Buñuel worked in a variety of genres, directing and writing films which would often survive as classics of world cinema and which would win a number of accolades including a Golden Lion, a Career Golden Lion from The Venice Film Festival and a Palme d’Or from the Cannes Film Festival.
That Obscure Object of Desire, which earned Buñuel his second Oscar nomination overall, specifically for his screenplay, tells the story of a middle aged, prosperous Frenchman, who becomes infatuated with a young Spanish dancer.
The film stars Buñuel regular Fernando Ray and was also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1978 Academy Awards.
5. Le Trou (1960) by Jacques Becker (1906–1960)
Born in Paris in 1906, Becker began his career, assisting Jean Renoir when the veteran director made some of French cinema’s most notable films including La Grande Illusion (1937). When the Germans occupied France during World War II, he became a Nazi prisoner for a year. It was during the time,after he was released, in the early 1940’s that he started his own directing career.
Lauded by such people as Jean-Pierre Melville and François Truffaut, Becker’s work was rarely appreciated during his lifetime. His reputation has continued to grow since his death, with the romantic period piece Casque d’or (1952), the gangster film Touchez pas au grisbi (1954), and the prison drama Le Trou (1960) all considered genre classics .
Le Trou is based on a true events concerning four felons and their complicated and intricate plans to escape from prison. The four men are then forced to seek the involvement of another man, a man none of them actually know.
Becker hired three of the actual felons as consultants and would use non-actors to ensure a quality of realism. One of these non-actors, Jean Keraudy was also a participant in the escape plan.
Le Trou was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Film in 1962 and lost the Palme d’Or to La Dolce Vita in 1960. Becker died two weeks after shooting on Le Trou was completed.
4. Fanny and Alexander (1982) by Ingmar Bergman (1918–2007)
One of the authentic auteurs of cinema history, Ingmar Bergman directed nearly 70 films and 170 plays. He would often work with cinematographer Sven Nykvist and a select group of actors in films mostly set in his native Sweden.
After having a career filled with acclaim and awards including 12 Oscar nominations , 3 wins and a career Golden Lion from the Venice Film Festival, Bergman retired from film making in December 2003 and died at his home on Fårö Island, on 30 July 2007, at the age of 89. His films often v dealit with morality, death, and crisis of faith.
Intended to be his last film, Fanny och Alexander tells the story of the titular characters, two children growing up in early 20th century Uppsala, Sweden , The film details how they face the hardships life brings them.
Shot in chronological order and originally conceived and shown as a four part series for Swedish television with a running time of 312 minutes, the production was Bergman’s first film in his native Sweden after spending four years as a tax exile in Germany was the costliest and most expansive native Swedish film production made up to that time, with a budget of $6 million.
The film won the Academy Award for best foreign language film along with three other Academy Awards and is ranked alongside Bergman’s best work.
3. Come and See (1985) by Elem Klimov (1933–2003)
Making films in the former Soviet Union wasn’t an easy task. All films produced by the different republics under the Soviet Union were regulated by the Central Government in Moscow and, since the film industry was fully nationalized, filmmakers had to follow the rules, laws and philosophies of the government. This censorship greatly angered and hindered many artists .
Klimov went to the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow where he met future wife and filmmaker Larisa Shepitko. He just made five films in his lifetime and was comfortable working with a variety of genres. All five of his films were censored and banned for at times with his third feature taking nine years to make before spending a further ten years on the shelf, finally being shown in 1981.
Come and See recounts experiences from his childhood. It is about a 15-year-old boy who joins the resistance in Nazi-occupied Belarus in 1943 and experiences the horrors of war.
Klimov’s film does not shy away from the brutality of war. Roger Ebert described it as “one of the most devastating films ever about anything, in it, the survivors must envy the dead…”. The film was shot in chronological order over nine months and used live ammunition.
Klimov did not work after Come and See and in 2000 declared, “I’ve lost interest in making films. Everything that was possible I felt I had already done.
2. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) by Sergio Leone (1929–1989)
Sergio Leone, like several of the other names on this list, was a writer, producer and director. Leone is known for his work in the 1960s sub-genre “Spaghetti Western” . The term came about since many of the films were produced by Italians.
Known for his quartet of 60’s westerns featuring the music of long time collaborator Ennio Morricone and his extreme close-ups of the actor’s eyes, Leone’s career is filled with unrealized projects including adaptations of The Godfather, Gone with the Wind and his most ambitious endeavor, adapting the non-fiction book The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad.
After acquiring financing, convincing Morricone to compose the score and enlisting cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli, he died of a heart attack two days before he was to leave for Los Angeles to sign the contracts for the last mentioned project.
Leone’s last completed film, Once Upon a Time in America tells the tale of five Jewish youths who grow up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and their rise from small time criminals to becoming New York’s most notorious gangsters.
Intended to be a tribute to the early gangster films of his childhood, the film mainly employs flashbacks. Leone was forced to severely edit the film, trimming it from the planned six hours to just under four hours. For the US release however, it was further trimmed to 144 minute.

Posted on 05/20/2012 10:31:04 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
Scientists have identified thousands of sites in the Arctic where methane that has been stored for many millennia is bubbling into the atmosphere.
The methane has been trapped by ice, but is able to escape as the ice melts.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this ancient gas could have a significant impact on climate change.
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after CO2 and levels are rising after a few years of stability.
There are many sources of the gas around the world, some natural and some man-made, such as landfill waste disposal sites and farm animals.
Tracking methane to these various sources is not easy.
But the researchers on the new Arctic project, led by Katey Walter Anthony from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks (UAF), were able to identify long-stored gas by the ratio of different isotopes of carbon in the methane molecules.
Using aerial and ground-based surveys, the team identified about 150,000 methane seeps in Alaska and Greenland in lakes along the margins of ice cover.
Local sampling showed that some of these are releasing the ancient methane, perhaps from natural gas or coal deposits underneath the lakes, whereas others are emitting much younger gas, presumably formed through decay of plant material in the lakes.
"We observed most of these cryosphere-cap seeps in lakes along the boundaries of permafrost thaw and in moraines and fjords of retreating glaciers," they write, emphasising the point that warming in the Arctic is releasing this long-stored carbon.
"If this relationship holds true for other regions where sedimentary basins are at present capped by permafrost, glaciers and ice sheets, such as northern West Siberia, rich in natural gas and partially underlain by thin permafrost predicted to degrade substantially by 2100, ..

So can we now let the cows fart in peace?
Then, let’s build a time machine, and go back and butt-plug all the dinosaurs....seems about as reasonable approach to global warming as the AGW zealots have now.
I love the smell of ancient methane in the morning!
(I thought the ice shelves were increasing???)
It’s nothing really. Just Algore investigating the situation and farting all over the place.
No mention that this methane has been escaping since the end of the last ice age.
What do they think happened when greenland ice sheet melted before?
ug, just more propaganda. Do these people have any critical thinking skills?
I thought H2O was the most important green house gas. I wonder whether this reporter who climbs all over himself to rank CO2 as #1 ranks H2O?
“Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after CO2”
I thought water vapor was #1???????
They most certainly do and they use them to drive their evil agenda.
Pull my finger!
Dinosaur farts !
Is the methane escaping because the Senate never passed Obama’s cap and trade bill?
As Obama says, we need to stop the rising of the oceans, and allow the planet to heal.....................
As Al Gore said, global warming isn’t just a political issue, or an economic issue, it’s a moral issue.
Well, that shuts down debate right there. Any liberal who declares a liberal issue is a “moral issue” is supposed to cause shock and awe and silence is all of us.
Coincidently I’ve been releasing some methane myself.
Same thing happens after I eat Taco Bell.
So have the polar bears who are eating better because of global warming.
That happens to me if I drink beer and eat ice cream.
Go Methane Go!
-Alaskans for Global Warming-
(Too bad we had record snows this year...)
If we can get a bunch of refrigerators and along extension cord I believe we can save the planet

To create a bill of materials (BOM) from Designer Schematic, you can use the Component BOM Generator. By using values you supply to certain properties on components, you can include or exclude any part from the BOM.
The Component BOM Generator reads schematic databases to extract component property information for generating data files of user-defined format and content. The property data you extract can be any user- or Mentor Graphics-defined symbol, block, or property.
Before generating a BOM, you will first want to package the design for Layout by going to Tools > Prepare for Layout. This will annotate all schematic parts.
Generating a BOM
To generate a BOM, go to Tools > Component BOM Generator. If BOM generation is successful, the Output window will give the location at which the resulting .csv file is saved (by default, the BOM is saved in the project folder).
Uploading a BOM to Digi-Key BOM Manager
You can upload a generated BOM file to the Digi-Key BOM Manager. To get to the BOM Manager from the Digi-Key site, log in with to your Digi-Key account and select Parts Lister/BOM Manager from the top left section of the My Digi-Key page.
Select Create New Parts List (Upload File).
Click Browse and select the BOM text file. For Type, select TAB. Click Upload and Map Fields to map the information from the BOM file into a table.
Once the table is generated, select the columns you would like to upload using the drop-down menus above each column. You must select at least the Quantity and either the SupplierPN or ManufacturerPN.
Click Submit to upload the parts list. Once uploaded, you can order parts, get quotes on the BOM, or generate a new BOM.

Royal Enfield is gearing up for the launch of the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 in the Indian market. We had previously reported about the discontinuation of the Continental GT in the country.
Now, DriveMag reports that the Royal Enfield Continental GT will also be discontinued in the global markets.
The Continental GT was the first cafe racer from the stable of the Chennai-based manufacturer and it featured a completely new design as opposed to the classic Royal Enfield bikes. The Continental GT was discontinued in the Indian market earlier this year in January. Now, the motorcycle will be axed from the global markets as well.
The Royal Enfield Continental GT was powered by a 535cc fuel injected, single-cylinder engine producing 29bhp and 44Nm of torque. The motorcycle was also equipped with premium cycle parts such as Paioli suspension and Bybre disc brake at the front.
The Royal Enfield Continental GT was discontinued in the Indian market due to poor demand. Even though Continental GT was a good package, it could not find takers in the country. Similarly, Royal Enfield is now planning to discontinue the cafe racer in the global markets. But it will be replaced by the more powerful Continental GT 650.
Royal Enfield revealed the Interceptor 650 and the Continental 650 at the 2017 EICMA motorcycle show in Italy. Both the motorcycles will be launched in the Indian market in the coming months. The Continental GT 650 will be more powerful and gets additional features.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 draws power from an all-new 648cc parallel-twin engine churning out 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox assisted by a slipper clutch. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard. The Continental GT 650 will be quicker than the Continental GT.
Thoughts On The Discontinuation Of Royal Enfield Continental GT
The Royal Enfield Continental GT was a cafe racer, and it failed to click in the Indian market. Now, with the launch of the new 650 twins, the company is planning to discontinue the Continental GT in the global markets as well. It is a good move by Royal Enfield as it is gearing up for the launch of the RE 650 twins.

Just when it seemed California legal weed had reached peak annoyance with Weedmaps for its insistence on working with unlicensed pot shops, the vape panic hit. It’s cool though; they have a plan to remove unlicensed shops.
California has given the company until year’s end to get all unlicensed operators off of the app.
High Times/MJ Business Daily
- The company’s app will soon include a new user interface that will highlight license information. Also on deck are plans to develop online education resources. “While these policy changes will only have a symbolic impact on the size of California’s unlicensed market without more licensing opportunities and other large listing platforms following suit, we want to continue to lead by example,” said CEO Chris Beals.
- The company says it will also support companies pursuing equity licenses.
- “At this point, there hasn’t been any additional conversation about fines,” BCC spokesman Alex Traverso said when asked about the agency’s approach to Weedmaps. He added that “all options are on the table,”if the company misses its year-end deadline.

•Multiple world champion Faith Kipyegon was the toast for Kenya after blazing to two gold medals in the women’s 1500m and 5000m.
•High-flying 800m prodigy Mary Moraa secured the third gold for the country in the two-lap race.
Kenya’s head athletics coach Julius Kirwa has said fatigue hampered the country’s medal prospects at the Budapest 2023 World Championships.
In an exclusive interview on Thursday, the seasoned gaffer advised Kenyan track stars to reduce the number of events they compete in to avoid exhaustion.
He attributed the country’s limited presence at the podium to athletes’ crammed schedules which drained their energy.
The East African nation wrapped up fifth in the competition after bagging three gold, three silver, and four bronze.
Multiple world champion Faith Kipyegon was the toast for Kenya after blazing to two gold medals in the women’s 1500m and 5000m.
High-flying 800m prodigy Mary Moraa secured the third gold for the country in the two-lap race.
“Our athletes should consider reducing the number of competitions they participate in every year,” Kirwa said.
“A good example is Omanyala who got himself overworked before the World Championships after participating in many meets. He ended up losing to people he had previously beaten in the Diamond League because of fatigue,” he added.
The Kenyan sprints sensation left the nation devastated after fizzling out to a shock and disappointing seventh-place finish in the fiercely contested finals at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest.
Kirwa said the country’s marathoners would have performed better if they had converged for preparations early enough.
He said efforts to get the marathoners to camp in good time were thwarted by obstinate managers who were reluctant to release the athletes for the World Championships.
“AK sent early invitations to all the marathoners who had initially been selected to fly Kenya’s flag in Budapest but it took a lot of time and persuasion before their managers finally responded,” Kirwa remarked.
“We invited about 30 marathoners but many declined. We sat down three times to make the necessary adjustments. At the end of it all, it proved too late in the day to train the athletes who eventually agreed to travel with us to Budapest.”
Kirwa emphasized the need for early preparations ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics, saying he and the rest of the coaching unit had embarked on an early and earnest selection process.
“I have already identified athletes in each category. We already have about 80-90 in number.”
The seasoned tactician revealed that they are planning to meet in the coming weeks to harmonise the selection criterion and the training schedule.
“We shall meet to decide where we will train and how many athletes we shall include in the process,” Kirwa stated.
“We have expressed our desires to Athletics Kenya and they are willing to work with our suggestions. AK will then convey our requests to NOC-K for implementation.”

Luna Rossa pull out of America’s Cup with concerns over reduced boat sizes
Luna Rossa, the Italian team, have announced that they will withdraw from the America’s Cup following the decision to reduce the size of the boats to be used in the 2017 regatta in Bermuda.
On Tuesday night, the organisers said that a majority of the teams supported a move from AC62 (62ft) catamarans to 48ft boats, in an attempt to cut costs and prevent the teams from running themselves into the red.
The AC62 Class Rule requires unanimous consent to pass, but the organisers, in conjunction with Team Oracle USA, the defending champions, announced last week that they had altered the regulations with a majority vote.
“Following a careful evaluation of the serious implications of this unprecedented initiative, Team Luna Rossa confirms that it will

Mastering InDesign CS3 for Print Design & Production
The book used by ITT Technical Institute to teach InDesign worldwide.
Mastering InDesign for Print Design and Production shows how experienced professionals with deadlines and billable hours use InDesign efficiently and effectively. Through the case studies and interviews, readers will find inspired to look beyond the over-emphasized basic features and into the depths of InDesign’s utility for real-world print design.
Most InDesign books are written for beginners, and experienced users are frustrated by them. When you already know how to make, fill, and thread a text box, the entire first half of most InDesign books is useless. But this one doesn’t dwell on the basics. Mastering InDesign for Print Design and Production fulfills the promise of the Mastering series, to provide real-world skills to professionals and students. Like all Mastering books, this one includes:
- A “by pros for pros” approach: The author is an active professional working in the field of graphic arts, layout, and design, writing for professionals who want to improve their skills or learn new skills.
- Real-world examples: Running throughout the text are examples of how the various skills are applied in real scenarios, described throughout the book in the form of examples and case studies from the author’s own design and consulting work, as well as interviews with other designers using InDesign on the job.
- Skill-based teaching and hands-on exercises
The approach is humorous, making the digestion and retention of complicated information easier for the reader through quips, anecdotes, and design- and print-geek humor. But at all times the book is true to its mission: Helping a professional do her job in InDesign without frustration, confusion, or aesthetic compromise.
Although the book has a comprehensive glossary, page one begins right away speaking to the core market--print professionals--in industry terms about industry challenges. This immediately lets experienced InDesign users know the book is about them. The approach is humorous, making the digestion and retention of complicated information easier for the reader through quips, anecdotes, and design- and print-geek humor. But at all times the book is true to its mission: Helping a professional do their job in InDesign without frustration, confusion, or aesthetic compromise.
“One gets the sense that the author has really spent time in the trenches using these tools under deadline, so he doesn’t waste your time. It also has humor and a nice personal writing style that makes it bearable to actually read, (which is generally the exception and not the norm in technical books). To me there’s nothing worse than a software book that bores … it is an insult to the reader and thus the ultimate failure of any software title. This book also practices what it preaches: the page design is elegant and adheres to the rules of good design espoused in the text. A gem.” -- C. Harder

I am excited because, as I have been saying all week, I will be driving down to Orlando in the morning for a week at IAMPETH-International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting
I was picking out a chunky journal to take for the area where members can display what they have been working on---and of course I will "survey the land" before I put mine out there. Things might look like this-- YIKES! so a chunky journal(which does contain lots of original calligraphy) just might not fit in. Well see---I have never been to one of these Master Penman conferences so I am not sure what to expect.
So this little heart from the backgound pieces was going into the chunkey journal and I decided to write a little quote on it. This calligraphy is buy no means the standard of which I will be seeing and re-learning this weekend---but it's fun and quick and easy.
Have a wonderful week and hopefully I can post some pictures as I go along.

Can Ripple Reach 10 Dollars?
Assuming that the market price has reached $1000 and over 100 billion coins available, would constitute for a total market cap for $100 trillion dollars.

This, https://handycasinozone.com/ nevertheless, is just possible if the community keeps growing and the cryptocurrencies get support from the federal government as properly.

Populous has appointed former Allies and Morrison big hitter Ashley Munday to lead its newly formed masterplanning unit
Munday spent eight years at Allies and Morrison, heading up its masterplanning and urban architecture group, and working on schemes such as the Brent Cross Cricklewood masterplan, the new Heart of Doha in Qatar and a strategic plan for the City of Perm in Russia.
Munday, who worked at Populous in its previous incarnation as HOK Sport, will be principal of the masterplanning team, which Populous say will build on the company’s ‘strong position in masterplanning and urban design for sports and entertainment venues.’
Among the practice’s current projects are the London 2012 Olympic Park masterplan, Sochi 2014 Olympic Park masterplan (pictured) and Silverstone masterplan.
‘I am excited about returning to Populous in my newly created role,’ said Munday. ‘As part of the new masterplanning team I aim to bring my urbanism and architectural experience to Populous’ work on a wide, strategic level, as well as to the architectural projects undertaken by the practice.’
Rod Sheard, senior principal at Populous, said the practice was seeing an increased workload in planning and the infrastructure of the regions in which they are building sporting venues.
‘As a result we have created our new masterplanning team to strengthen our existing ability to assist clients in this area,’ said Sheard.
Speaking about Munday’s arrival, he said: ‘Adding an individual of Munday’s calibre is of great benefit to both our clients and project teams. With the addition of his extensive experience in masterplanning and urban design we will be able to continue helping our clients plan for and execute the integration of sporting and entertainment venues in their communities.’

Wow wow wow most amazing commission- we are are delighted with our house sign and would recommend Kate to anyone - Mark and Beverley Priddy
I was given a voucher for the class for my birthday this year, and I had such a great time. Kate allows participants of the class to create their own designs, choose glass from a wide range of colours, textures and finishes, and then create a stain glass piece from beginning to end, without rushing through any of the processes. Kate is very informative, patient and kind; I am lactose free and gluten free and she catered snacks to my requirements. I loved the course so much I've purchased another one!
If you want to have a go I highly recommend her classes, suitable all experience levels, and lots of fun.
Great experience with Kate and her glass painting workshop. Very informative and hands on with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Kate was more than happy to share her wealth of knowledge and experience Recommended. I will certainly book another workshop when space is available.
Another brilliant day with Kate making a stained glass window panel this time for the kitchen door. I just can’t get enough of it so have to keep going back to do more! Brilliant tuition and you go home every time with a unique original piece of work. If you are reading this get booked in, you won’t regret it, it’s great!
My daughter Amanda & I felt lucky to join Kate on her 1st workshop after lockdown rules were eased.
Kate is a patient & informative teacher. She guided us through the process of design, choosing & cutting glass from her vast collection of coloured glass. We then leaded & soldered our creations - with one of us mastering the soldering better than the other!!
Thank you Kate, we are so pleased to have spent last Saturday with you in your workshop at the bottom of your beautiful & secluded garden and we are both so happy with what we made.
Super nice stained glass workshop, shows how to do the processes properly without the feeling of pressure. Came away with a really cute stained glass panel and the lady was lovely and helpful :) was a chilled day while also being fun and productive
I was able to visit the Firewolf Glass Studios and have a go at making my own stained glass window. From the designing and choosing the glass to cutting the glass and piecing the window together, Kate really showed her passion of this art through guiding and teaching me the steps to produce my own piece of art. I would highly recommend giving this a go, and highly recommend the Firewolf Glass Studios.
Kate has just completed an excellent job of renovating and remaking 8 Victorian glass door panels for Bridgwater Baptist church. The work entailed removing each of the panels and taking them to her studio to remove all the old lead, clean the many individual pieces of glass, and put it all back together again with new lead. A slow and painstaking job, but the transformation of these panels now they are restored in the church must look as good as they did orginally! Thank you Kate for the wonderful job you have done for us, from everyone at Bridgwater Baptist Church.

I don’t think that many of us were prepared for the terrible storm which hit Paros at the end of March as Poseidon and Zeus appeared to emulate the morning’s parades by displaying all the forces at their disposal for Greek Independence Day. On the night of the 25th, the heavens enacted an awe-inspiring performance over the Aegean with winds gusting at more than 12 Beaufort, thunder, lightning, heavy rain, hail and perilously rough seas. By the early hours of the morning Piso Livadi was alive with fishermen and boat owners trying to save their craft. However, despite their efforts many boats were either badly damaged or totally wrecked as they crashed together powerless against the opposing forces of nature.
The high seas breached the harbour wall, flooding local businesses and depositing sections of broken boat and debris everywhere. The next morning, residents had the unenviable task of cleaning up the mess. Some fishermen whose boats had sunk had to dive beneath the water to see if there was any hope of salvaging their vessels. A few small boats could be refloated after digging out the silt, but many were beyond help, which resulted in the sad sight of lorries carrying much-loved boats away in pieces.
The storm also wreaked havoc in the ports of Paroikia and Naoussa with roads and harbour-front premises flooded. In Paroikia the new paved areas became lakes fed by fast-flowing streams formerly known as streets. A swollen underground river also caused many problems for OTE. Meanwhile in Drios, the storm weakened the already eroded coastline and the following week a large section of the coastal path fell into the sea. This was probably a disaster waiting to happen, as many residents had commented on how the cliff was being worn away. Despite the best efforts of the local Koinotita, who had built a section of much-needed sea wall, still the remaining unprotected area was reclaimed by Poseidon. It is understood that plans are in the process of being drawn up to build more sea defences at Drios, possibly by piling up chunks of stone to look more aesthetically pleasing than the existing expanse of concrete.
Editor’s Note: Is coastal erosion a problem where you are? Please, tell us about it and/or send in a photograph.


At just 17 years old Danielle Bradbery got up on stage and blew listeners away, Blake Shelton in particular. Shelton picked her to mentor and under his tutelage, she honed that young voice of hers. Bradbery landed a record deal with Big Machine Records in the summer of 2013 and released “Heart of Dixie,” her first single.
Just a few months after, she released her debut album. The songbird’s career skyrocketed after then when her song “My Day” was the featured theme song for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, making her the symbol of the games. Bradbery also has an upcoming single titled “Friend Zone” that is due for release in August.
Candice Glover - $1 Million
The 12th season winner, Candice Glover has found her slice of success. Getting there, however, has not been easy, in fact, Glover had to audition three times to simply get on the show before she took home the title of "American Idol." Since the release of her debut album Music Speaks in 2014 she has had more projects lined up.
In 2015 she was featured on the "Love No Fear," a single by Chad Black. Glover was also cast in a new gospel musical called "The Love Shack." While she hasn't been so active when it comes to staying relevant, it's just a matter of time before Glover bursts back onto the scene.
Cassadee Pope - $5 Million
Cassadee Pope has garnered a fair amount of success since her win in the show's third season. So much so that the record label Republic Nashville took her and produced her album "Frame by Frame." The season 3 winner of “The Voice” has gone forward with a moderate amount of success after her big win.
Republic Nashville signed her on and she released the album “Frame by Frame” with the label in 2013. Her popularity has grown since touring with Darius Rucker, Dirks Bentley, and Tim McGraw. She has plans to continue with her touring in the upcoming year but we don’t know who she’ll be with yet.
Jordan Smith - $2 Million
When Jordan Smith caught Adam Levine's attention, it was smooth sailing from then. Judges, viewers, and critics alike praised his impeccable voice control very early on in the show. He's been somewhat of a national icon ever since.
Since his win in 2009, he has even gone to reappear on the show as a special guest star, performing a track from his Christmas album "Tis the Season." The singer has also been frequenting national events and ball games, blowing folks away with his perfect pitch. In 2022, Smith performed his song "Sparrow" on "American Song Contest," finishing in third place in the Grand Final after representing Kentucky.
Josh Kaufman - $5 Million
The team Usher winner was Josh Kaufman of season 6. Since his success on "The Voice," Kaufman has led a pretty solid career, even while steering to staying close to his hometown of Indiana where he can be with his family.
The singer has also been branching out to more colorful roles such has Broadway plays where he appeared in a "Pippin" performance. Kaufman is still currently at work on his first full-length album. Over the last decade or so, Kaufman has become a really prolific music producer, having credits on albums by the likes of Muzz, Cassandra Jenkins, Bob Weir, and This Is the Kit, to name a few.
