The European Economic Area (EEA) Grants and the Norway Grants Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 provided funding amounting to €1.798 billion to 16 beneficiary countries to strengthen economic and social cohesion and bilateral relations in the EEA. The Council of Europe’s was involved in 21 programmes of the EEA and Norway Grants across 10 of the Beneficiary States. This cycle of the Norway Grant was completed in May 2017.
The Council of Europe provided expertise and advice in bringing the Country Programme proposals in line with the relevant international standards and taking account of the real needs of the beneficiaries as a Donor Programme Partner (DPP). The Council of Europe was also actively supporting and closely co-operating with the beneficiary countries as Project Partner (PP) and implementing the specific projects for strengthening judicial system of Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania. These projects specifically aimed at increasing the competences of the actors within the judiciary, improving the efficiency of the court systems and enhancing access to justice. The fulfilment of these objectives contributed to a more efficient justice system, a prerequisite of the social and economic development in these countries.
The Council of Europe intervention in implementing the Programme and Pre-Defined Projects was based on its standards, contained both in its conventions and Committee of Ministers’ recommendations. It took into account the areas for improvement identified in the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the relevant Committee of Ministers’ documents in respect of the execution of judgments, as well as the findings and recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT). In this way, the implementation of the Programme and Pre-Defined Projects contributed to the fulfilment by the authorities of the beneficiary countries to their commitments to the Council of Europe and to a better compliance of national legislation, regulations and practices with European standards.

Carmaker plans EV as well as ICE versions based on the the Curvv concept
Tata Motors showcased a midsize SUV concept, the Curvv, which it said will be introduced in production-ready form by 2024. The company plans to first launch an EV version followed by an internal combustion engine (ICE) powertrain options.
The concept will likely underpin 10 EV that the company plans as part of its EV portfolio by 2025. It currently has three including the Nexon, which is the country’s leading EV brand. Tata Motors said it was on track to bring in these new SUVs
The SUV-based on the Curvv is expected to take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and MG Astor – all contenders of a segment – seeing buoyant demand in the country.
The Tata Curvv boasts a unique coupe design in an SUV form, making the company adopt a new design philosophy – ‘Digital’ – for its future models based on this midsize concept. The Curvv will sit between the Nexon and Harrier in the Tata Motors product portfolio, and will target customers looking at an appealing mid- to high-size SUV.
The company also announced that an EV based on the Curvv concept will make it first to the market in 2024, followed by its ICE derivatives. “With the Curvv concept, we are taking the next big leap in making EVs aspirational,” said Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, at the unveil event.
Tata Motors ended FY22 with close to 30,000 SUVs its highest ever in a single calendar year. Sales for the entire fiscal were 370,372 units, 67 percent higher than in 2021.
Design attributes on the Curvv concept include full-length LED lightbar upfront, squared-off wheel arches, a coupe-styled sloping roofline and body cladding for rugged appeal. The cabin will have a slew of modern features too, like dual floating screens for infotainment and instrumentation. According to Martin Uhlarik, Tata’s head of global design, “A lot of design elements on the Curvv are centred around aerodynamic efficiency, and will make their way into the production model as well.”
While it hasn’t revealed powertrain specifications, Tata Motors is eyeing up to 500km of certified driving range with the second-generation EV architecture that debuts on the Curvv. “The Generation-2 platform will be able to accommodate bigger batteries, and therefore, will try to break the consumer barrier of range anxiety with EV adoption,” Chandra said.
The new SUV is also expected to be loaded to the gills with connected car technology with telematics-based convenience features as well as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging solutions, which in case of the latter, will allow an external appliance to be powered from the charge in the EV’s battery.
With EVs comprising 5 percent of Tata Motors’ FY2022 sales, and with 19,106 units sold, Tata Motors is bullish about taking a lead in the passenger EV segment as it is poised to mature and grow in the coming future. “It is our vision as a company to be ahead of the curve in the EV space, and that is what inspired the name of this new concept,” says Vivek Srivatsa, head, Marketing, Sales and Service Strategy, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility

Thromb Res. 2020 Aug 10;195:238-242. doi: 10.1016/j.thromres.2020.08.019. Online ahead of print.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Atrial fibrillation causes stroke by embolization of blood clots from the left atrium. This suggests that it also can cause pulmonary embolism through embolization of thrombi from the right atrium. Our objective was to investigate if atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for pulmonary embolism.
METHOD: This is a retrospective registry study of a random sample of 1.5 million Swedish residents alive on January 1, 2010 (n = 1,442,028) who were followed until the end of 2017. Information about comorbidity, medication and outcomes was obtained from the Swedish national health registers. The endpoint was a first-time event of pulmonary embolism.
RESULTS: The group with atrial fibrillation was >25 years older (mean) than the group without and had almost three times higher incidence of pulmonary embolism (2.91 and 1.09 per 1000 year at risk, p < 0.001). After adjustment for age and other co-factors, atrial fibrillation without oral anticoagulant protection was not associated with increased risk for pulmonary embolism (HR 1.03, CI 0.94-1.13). Adjustment for the competing risk of dying showed similar results (sHR 0.99, CI 0.70-1.40). The higher rate of pulmonary embolism among patients with atrial fibrillation can be fully explained by differences in age and comorbidity.
CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is not a predictor for pulmonary embolism.

Mercury: Karmic Aspectations on a Birth Chart
Mercury represents the mind and the intellect in Karmic Astrology. It also represents speech, the ability to communicate through verbal and written means; self-orientation, which is the capability to exercise logical and critical thinking; and the use of the soul knowledge. Mercury is a powerful resource that allows the individual to make decisions based on the spiritual guidance and instructions received before the present lifetime.
In a karmic birth chart, Mercury would show, not only what the individual brought from past existences, but also the karmic aspects that may manifest during this lifetime over the mental body. Some of these patterns can be denoted by a limitation in exercising an open mind, difficulties in relating to others, and many types of learning disabilities. It is almost as if an individual profoundly afflicted by a retrogradation of Mercury must overcome all the barriers in his mind before he can operate in this life with clarity of mind and purpose. These mercurial blockages can delay the development of many areas in the life of a being, creating ripples towards other areas of their life, including disturbances in the extra-physical bodies, such as the emotional one.
Most certainly, these impediments can hinder an individual’s capability to render clear judgment and make wise decisions, even when they have been educated and alerted previously about some aspects of the situation they are facing. Affected Mercury on one’s map can determine the lack of practicality on one’s actions and attitude.
When the karmic affects of Mercury freeze the mental plane of one’s soul, we can witness the consequences through various sets of behaviors, such as emotional instability, aggressiveness, excessive display of pride, and even an overall attitude of intolerance. Also, being a planet of very fast movement, Mercury may incite the individual to a behavior of restlessness, to always be moving, never settling and never grounding.
Lack of organization skills, distress when dealing with details and a big attraction to vanity, as well as for recreational pleasures, are some of the underlining characteristics of karmic aspectations that can be affected Mercury in a birth map.
In other words, we note that Mercury can heavily affect one’s current lifetime karmically, permitting the individual to behave as a strange child, self-centered, impatient, unseasoned and emotionally weak; and reacting to this without self-reflection. The person may also present the tendency to start many projects but incapable of finishing any of them. It is not uncommon that the individual will display later regret missed opportunities in life.
An excellent characteristic of the Mercurial aspectations is an innate curiosity in the pursuit to understand why is so difficult to comprehend and accept their lives.
Someone with a Karmic aspectations of Mercury on his birth map would benefit immensely from learning discipline, the learning of clarity of intentions, and the use of method when acting or implementing actions. The Healing aspect to this karmic configuration manifests when the soul conquers the stubborn personality, releasing it from its self-serving tendencies and introducing the concept of personal spiritual success to the service to others.

STANDING THEIR GROUND: Bulga residents say their protest will continue, despite the arrest of two protesters on Monday.
TWO Hunter Indigenous elders were charged by police after protests outside Rio Tinto’s Mount Thorley Warkworth mine on Monday.
CHARGED: Pat Hansson and Kevin Taggart were arrested on Monday for not following a police directive to leave a Putty Road protest site.
Wonnarua elders Kevin Taggart and Pat Hansson were arrested and charged with not following a police directive after refusing to leave a protest site where Bulga residents were attempting to stop mine blasting.They have been granted conditional bail to appear in Singleton Local Court in September.
The protests follow the NSW government’s controversial mine approval after a Planning Assessment Commission found the benefits of the mine expansion outweighed the costs. This followed two successful court appeals of earlier mine expansion approvals, after judges found the social and environmental costs of expansion were too great.
Bulga residents have vowed to continue protesting despite police responding to a complaint by the mine, the two arrests, and a process they have slammed as “inherently unjust”.
Mr Taggart was released on bail conditions, including that he not return to the protest site.
He said the environmental impacts of the mine expansion, closure of Wallaby Scrub Road and destruction of Aboriginal heritage sites were “really important to me because they’re devastating”.

What kind of person uses the silent treatment?
At best the silent treatment is an immature behavior used by spoiled brats and manipulative individuals.
At worst, it is a weapon used by abusers to punish their victims.
One demographic of the population that particularly loves the silent treatment is the narcissist..
Why do narcissists give you the silent treatment?
Essentially, the narcissistic person’s message is one of extreme disapproval to the degree that the silence renders the target so insignificant that he or she is ignored and becomes more or less nonexistent in the eyes of the narcissistic person.
What Silent Treatment means?
Silent treatment is the refusal to communicate verbally with someone who is willing to communicate. … It may be a passive-aggressive form of emotional abuse in which displeasure, disapproval and contempt is exhibited through nonverbal gestures while maintaining verbal silence.
Why does being ignored hurt so much?
Part of the reason the person doing the ignoring might be irritated is because they’re not getting what they want, and don’t see why they should compromise. … Make sure the other person knows that you care about them, and that you’ll be ready to listen when they’re ready to talk.
What is stonewalling in a relationship?
Intentionally shutting down during an argument, also known as stonewalling or the silent treatment can be hurtful, frustrating, and harmful to the relationship.
How damaging is the silent treatment?
The silent treatment has been known to end romantic relationships, alienate friends, and negatively impact child development. When children experience the silent treatment from parents or caregivers, the effects can be devastating. Some evidence suggests women may respond differently to the silent treatment than men.
How do you know if you are being taken for granted?
Signs You’re Taken for GrantedFeeling exhausted and drained when with the other person.Hiding out and/or avoiding the other person.Not being able to share intimate details about life and dreams.Lack of trust and/or feeling safe.Commitments not kept by you or the other person.Basic disconnect in philosophy and principles about life.More items…•
What does the silent treatment do to someone?
The silent treatment (also known as withholding) is used to punish and regain control of a person. It may feel good to ignore your partner when you feel slighted but, it keeps you from finding real solutions to the problems that are bugging you the most.
What does the silent treatment mean in relationships?
stonewallingThe silent treatment, also known as stonewalling, is when one partner withdraws from a relationship and refuses to communicate. (
Is it OK to give someone the silent treatment?
Giving someone the silent treatment may not always be such a bad thing. It may actually be a good way to deal with someone who is acting like a jerk, a new study finds.
Why does silent treatment hurt?
The Silent Treatment is Physically Painful The silent treatment, even if it’s brief, activates the anterior cingulate cortex — the part of the brain that detects physical pain. Yes, the silent treatment actually triggers the brain. It hurts. Literally.

Computed Radiography (CR) is the acquisition of a digital image using a flexible Phosphor Imaging Plate (IP) in place of conventional film.
Key advantages of CR include:
– IP’s are reusable
– No darkroom or chemicals required
– Exposure and processing times are reduced
– Easy workflow and image optimization with ScanX View software
– Simple to share and archive digital information
CR Technology consists of a 3 step process:
The imaging plate (IP) is exposed with X-ray or gamma radiation which causes the phosphor layer in the plate to store the image.
During the reading process the IP moves through the scanner as a focused X-ray beam triggers the release of stored image data in the form of visible light.
The emitted light is detected, amplified and converted into an electrical signal that is digitized, transferred to a computer and finally displayed as a digital image on the PC screen.
As the IP is scanned, the scanner’s internal in-line eraser removes residual data from the IP which is then ready for the next exposure.


Rich with maritime history, Canada’s Prince Edward County thrusts out from the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Almost completely surrounded by water, the area is a popular summer tourist destination. It’s home to boutique wineries, cheese producers and dairy farms, but much of the rest of the area remains in its natural state.
About 10 years ago I first heard about two mystery wrecks lying offshore, and a local dive lodge would occasionally take tech divers to the area. My favorite — the prettier of the two wrecks, with the lower sections of both masts still standing — is nicknamed Petrie 2 after the closest point of land.
Like the wreck, the initial discovery of Petrie 2 is a mystery. A local diver and historian said divers found it during a search for wreckage of an Avro Arrow, a 1950s-era Canadian supersonic fighter jet.
Petrie 2 lies 12 miles offshore, directly under the shipping lanes. On the morning of our dives, wind was nonexistent, but the fog was thick. We launched our boat and made our way to the area before watching the sonar. The wreck is not buoyed normally, but a crew member on our boat had dropped his temporary mooring at the end of last season. Once adjacent to the wreck, we dropped a shot line, and two of our team suited up. We soon spotted a lift bag slightly astern, and our fixed mooring line was soon ready to go.
The rest of us suited up quickly and reviewed our dive plans. As the only member of our team who was diving open circuit, my bottom time would be a few minutes shorter than the others, who were on rebreathers. I had a clear vision of the shot I wanted to get before heading down, and once on the wreck, I moved off the bow and positioned myself on the bottom, using my elbows as a tripod of sorts. There was little light. I checked my camera settings and waited. Two of the other divers had elaborate plans for some images using remote lighting, and I hoped to be able to benefit from their hard work.
Time flies in 175 feet of water; as my bottom time was nearing an end, light began streaming through the railing. I quickly fired off a few shots, bracketing my exposures. I knew from previous years that the particulate matter in the water caused havoc with backscatter, so I had dialed my strobes all the way back and aimed them far away from the subject. I only wanted a kiss of fill light to break through the shadow cast by the hull.
Some people believe that this wreck may be the schooner Blanche, lost with her crew of five on May 26, 1888, although the ship’s identity has not been confirmed. Unidentified, in a little-known location and lying in the dark, the ship remains an enigmatic and rare subject.

Most Improved Female: Jan Bauer – Jan put her head down and dug in this year to tackle her first Ironman. She is one of the most diligent and determined athletes I have ever met. There were long days, hard days, hot days, set backs and PRs along the way and Jan did a wonderful job of soaking in the entire experience and learning the entire time. Jan had PRs at most of her races this year including half IM and IM distance races. And she surprised even herself with her swim time at IM Santa Rosa – consistent steady progress pays off and Jan is a great example of that.
Male: Pat Ramos – Pat had some great results and got himself a slot to race at 70.3 Worlds in Chattanooga. It’s great to see him get rewarded for his consistent effort.
Veteran Athlete of the Year Female: Cindy Hutchings – Cindy is truly a role model. She had great performances this year at AG Nationals and AG Worlds. Cindy is consistently making steady progress and earning solid results that often get overlooked.
Male: Justin Bauer – Justin worked his tail off this year. His resume reflects that with PRs in pretty much every distance raced (Half marathon, Half Ironman, Ironman X2, Oly Tri) and multiple podiums throughout the season. Even through some minor setbacks in his IM build he kept his head up and still had a top 20 performance in the toughest AG at the race. He came back to improve upon that performance at Ironman #2 and crack the top 10 with an 8th place finish. I don’t think it’s long before we see him taking a step on the Ironman podium and battling for a Kona slot.

AceShowbiz - "Finding Dory", a spin-off to Andrew Stanton's "Finding Nemo", has just revealed some new details. D23 Expo 2015 which is being held in Anaheim, offers some new footage from the movie and reveals a new character voiced by Ed O'Neill.
The Pixar Portion of the Animation panel gives a look at O'Neill's character which turns out to be a companion for the titular fish. In the upcoming movie, a friendly octopus named Hank serves as Dory's new compatriot. Dory meets him at the Marine Life Institute, and he becomes her guide on her journey.
Back in December 2014, Pixar President Jim Morris had already teased about some new characters that would appear in the movie. "The movie will be mostly set at the California Marine Biology Institute, a huge complex of sea life rehabilitation and aquarium, where Dory was born and raised," he said. "We will get to meet new characters, like an octopus, sea lions, a beluga whale, among others."
Besides Hank, there are Bailey, a white beluga whale voiced by Ty Burrell, and Destiny, a shark whale voiced by Kaitlin Olson. Meanwhile, Dory's parents Charlie and Jenny will be voiced by Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton.
Based on the revelations in the panel, people learn that "Finding Dory" follows an amnestic Dory whose childhood memories suddenly come rushing back. Her unusual instinct seems to be a sign for her to go home. While Marlin thinks going all the way to Monterey is a bad idea, Dory insists to go on a journey in order to carry out familial responsibility.

There are families that get together every night and drink, this is not something one needs to worry about – but if someone is drinking continuously every day then he/she might be an alcoholic. Alcoholism does not only take over the person consuming vast amounts of liquor but also over their families who have to bear with the man indulging in too many drinks. It becomes a routine and an episode that happens every day. We are going to lay down – home remedies for alcoholism.
Families are tortured by this and raise several questions like – please provide some alcoholism treatment, what is alcoholism and its effects, the alcoholism effects on health and most importantly to understand why someone is drinking so much, what is the alcoholism causes?
What is alcoholism?
A person is called an alcoholic when they drink every day and drink to such an amount that they are not able to manage their behavior or realize what they are doing. This is known as an alcohol use disorder. Alcoholism is divided into three categories – mild, moderate and severe. Each of these categories have different symptoms.
People with this disorder feel that they can’t function properly without alcohol. This has a bad impact on not only the alcoholic but his families, friends, and everyone who cares for him.
Symptoms of one becoming an alcoholic
When one is on the verge of becoming an alcoholic, there are various symptoms that his/her family should look out for. Some being that he keeps craving alcohol, he is not able to control the amount of alcohol he consumes, he makes alcohol his priority when he cannot stop thinking of alcohol and wants to drink all the time, and he starts to behave differently after drinking alcohol.
When one sees these symptoms, then be warned. Your family member is on the verge of becoming an alcoholic. Though one can go to a rehabilitation centre or even a doctor, we provide with certain home remedies for alcoholism
Home remedies may not be that effective, especially if the person has reached a severe stage, however, do give them a chance, and see if results are good or not!
Home remedies for alcoholism
This is popularly known as the needle based therapy and is proven to be very useful in doing away with alcohol cravings, the withdrawal symptoms, and tends to handle the anxiety and depression that goes along with it.
Not only alcoholics but many other people get acupuncture done for various health reasons. This is considered as one of the best home remedies for alcoholism!
Drink milk thistle
Milk thistle is said to be good because it is rich in silymarin. This is seen as very helpful in restoring health of the liver and protecting against any damage that alcohol has caused. Some studies have said that milk thistle may be good for livers that have been exposed to a lot of alcohol; there are some which are still not very sure how much milk thistle can actually help.
In meantime to absorb this thistle as it contains the antioxidant silymarin!
This is a form of juice that should be consumed every day in abundance. This juice is very good in terms of getting rid of one’s craving for alcohol. Though this is a small step in terms of home remedies for alcoholism, it is said to be highly effective.
Also Check :- Difference between dry and dehydrated skin
Grape juice contains a form of pure alcohol, and hence one should consume this every day. Once a person starts drinking grape juice and goes back to his normal diet – then his craving for traditional and hard liquor just goes away!
If one is on the verge of becoming an alcoholic or is an alcoholic then they should consume dates every day. Dates do wonders! Don’t eat dates just like that, have them with water. After a month of consumption, one will find that the tendency towards drinking alcohol reduces. Yes, dates can be your guardian angel!
Lemon and honey
Many consume lemon and honey to get rid of alcoholism. This works very well because honey contains sugar and fructose that help to remove the urge of alcohol. However, this remedy is not suggested for people with diabetes. Also, lemon and honey should be taken in warm water. This is a very effective remedy but not one recommended for people with sugar problems
Willow trees are very useful in helping alcoholics. The bark of the tree has compounds that help in relaxing one’s craving for alcohol and keeps the brain calm. Hence, we should be happy that our nature that we always look out to disrupt – only gives us positivity in exchange
Eating bananas and apples
Fruits like bananas and apples are very important. Alcohol tends to drain potassium from the body, and hence it is very compulsory to eat bananas since potassium is responsible for nerve impulse transmission. The need for potassium in the body is very urgent.
On the other hand fruits like apples tend to reduce the craving for alcohol. Apart from that it also helps to remove toxins from the body. Hence, apple juice should be given to alcoholics quite often.
Exercising daily is not only a home remedy for alcoholism but for many other diseases and disorders. If one exercises regularly, then they tend to build control over their bodies, and this tends to reduce any form of craving for alcohol. Hence, it is important to exercise daily and be healthy. A healthy body will crave only healthy foods and drinks, and not things like alcohol and smoking
At the end of it, we would suggest that the best way to stop drinking is to sit with your family and loved ones and have a good conversation. Everything should be laid down on the plate. A family is a very strong support system, and taking help from the family and loved ones can be very useful. One is also suggested to see a therapist and find out the deep root causes behind one’s intake of alcohol.

Klamath Basin's NRCS Water Supply Outlook Report
Klamath Water Users Association
To preserve, protect and defend the water and power rights of the landowners of the Klamath Basin while promoting wise management of ecosystem resources.
The Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA) is a non-profit corporation that has represented Klamath Irrigation Project farmers and ranchers in its current form since 1953, but its roots stretch back to 1905. KWUA members include rural and suburban irrigation districts and other public agencies as well as well as private individuals who operate on both sides of the California-Oregon border. The Klamath Project is home to over 1200 family farms and ranches and encompasses over 170,000 of some of the best farm land in the West.
The mission of the organization is to preserve, protect and defend the water and power rights of the landowners of the Klamath Basin while promoting wise management of ecosystem resources.
The Klamath Water Users Association is governed by an 11 member board of directors who are representatives from Klamath Project districts. The association employs an Executive Director and staff to execute the policy decisions made by the board.
Irrigation and Drainage
The Klamath Project on the Oregon-California border was one of the earliest Federal reclamation projects. In addition to providing irrigation, a major aspect of the project was drainage – the ability to remove water from a closed basin. The project was authorized by the Reclamation act of 1902 and construction began in May of 1905. According to a 1998 study conducted by Davids Engineering (“Klamath Project Historical Water Use Analysis”), effective efficiency for the overall Project is 93 percent, making the Klamath Project one of the most efficient in the country.
There are two main sources of water supply for the Klamath Project. One consists of Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River, and the other consists of Clear Lake Reservoir, Gerber Reservoir, and the Lost River, which are located in a closed basin.
Power has always been an integral component to the Klamath Project. There are 5 major (drainage) pumping plants with power input ranging from 450 to 3,650 hp. In addition, there are 40 pumping plants of less than 1000 hp.
Canals, Laterals and Drains
There are 18 canals with a total length of 185 miles. Laterals total 516 miles and drains 728 miles.
The average irrigation season extends from March through September. The growing season varies considerably from year to year, but averages approximately 120 days.
The primary crops grown in this area are alfalfa and other hay, beef cattle, strawberry plants, cereal grains, onions, potatoes, mint, and horseradish. Dairy production is also a major component of agriculture in the Basin. In recent years organic production of most of these crops has increased significantly and the market for organics appears to be strong. In addition, the Klamath Basin has shown tremendous potential for the development of crops for use in bio-fuels.
Oregon and California legislation, which relinquished state title to project lands, and congressional action which directed the project undertaking, provided for disposition of the reclaimed lands in accordance with the 1902 Reclamation Act. Under provisions of the Act, the reclaimed public lands were to be opened for homesteading. The first public lands were opened for homesteading in March of 1917. Much of the Klamath project went on to be homesteaded by both World War I and World War II veterans.
The Klamath River Watershed represents a landmass of over 10 million acres. Annual flows at the mouth of the Klamath River average over 15 Million acre feet per year. There are over 100 tributaries to the Klamath River that are located downstream of the Klamath Reclamation Project.
The Upper Klamath ?Basin is home to 6 National Wildlife Refuges. Tulelake NWR and Lower Klamath NWR are two of the pre-eminent waterfowl refuges in the country. Water used by these refuges is delivered via the irrigation and drainage system of the Klamath Reclamation Project. Private lands in the Upper Basin are home to more than 400 species of fish and wildlife.
In 2003 and 2004 the Klamath Water Users received the “Leadership in Conservation” award from the State of Oregon. The 2003 award recognized the organization for their continuing efforts and support of more than 250 conservation projects in the Basin since 1992. The 2004 award was given to KWUA for “exemplifying the spirit of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds”.
In addition to these awards, numerous individuals and irrigation districts within the Klamath Project have been recognized for their contributions to conservation and cooperation.

SHELBURNE, Mass. (WWLP) – This Memorial Day weekend many businesses in Franklin County will be getting ready for summer.
With the weather getting warmer, many people are planning their travel and seasonal activities. Hager’s Farm Market in Shelburne is known for their family-friendly outdoor activities. Karen Hicks from Hager’s said they see an increase in customers starting around this time of year, every year. “People are not just going from home to work. They’re out and about and doing things with their families and outside activities and we want to cater to that,” said Karen.
Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters is also expecting an increase in tourism. The manager told 22News, they benefit from other companies along Route 2 who specialize in outdoor activities. “A couple white water rafting companies, we have the Alpine Slide north from here. There’s fishing guides. There’s a lot of outdoor activities,” said Cathy Sherry.
Those outdoor activities attract people from near and far, bringing more business and money to town. “I’m going biking this weekend, and I’m going kayaking this weekend. I’m not usually around so I’m really excited to enjoy the valley,” said Linda Singer of Greenfield.
Some businesses even told 22News they’re expanding to attract families looking to make summer time memories.
Many businesses that benefit from tourism told 22News, they’re increasing their hours of operations to cater to the increase in visitors.

"The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Air pollutant emissions indicators track emissions from human activities of 6 key air pollutants: sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter. Black carbon, which is a component of fine particulate matter, is also reported. Sectoral indicators on air pollutant emissions from transportation, off-road vehicles and mobile equipment, electric utilities and the oil and gas industry provide additional analysis on the largest sources of Canada's air pollutant emissions. For each air pollutant, the indicators are provided at the national and provincial/territorial levels. They also identify the major sources of emissions and provide links to detailed information on air pollutant emissions from facilities. The Air pollutant emissions indicators are intended to inform Canadians and decision makers about progress made towards reducing emissions from human-related sources of air pollutants and about the effectiveness of emission reduction measures implemented to improve ambient air quality in Canada. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated. Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators: https://www.canada.ca/environmental-indicators
Since 1988, the governments of Canada and Quebec have been working together to conserve, restore, protect and develop the St. Lawrence River under the St. Lawrence Action Plan (SLAP). One of the projects identified under the theme of biodiversity conservation is the development of an integrated plan for the conservation of the natural environments and biodiversity of the St. Lawrence River. The identification of priority sites for conservation has been the first step of this planning exercise. Conservation planning of natural environments requires a reliable, accurate and up-to-date image of the spatial distribution of ecosystems in the study area. In order to produce an Atlas of Priority Sites for Conservation in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, an updated cartography of the land cover of this vast territory was undertaken. This project required obtaining reliable information on the natural environments of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. Although several land cover mapping projects have been conducted for specific types of habitats, it was particularly important to obtain a homogeneous product that would cover the entire territory and that would provide the most detailed information on its various thematic components: agricultural, aquatic, human-modified and forest environments, wetlands as well as old fields and bare ground. The methodology used to produce the land cover mapping of the St. Lawrence Lowlands thus relied mainly on combining and enhancing the best existing products for each theme. This project was made in collaboration with MDDELCC as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan (SLAP). This dataset includes land cover polygons within a 10 km radius of the Montréal administrative region.

After reading Sunday's Statehouse Insider column, "It's a great story," about Gov. Rauner visiting a state agency office, I said to myself, "Now I have heard it all."
Apparently, the governor showed up on his white stallion to the cheers and adulation of the "grossly overpaid" state employees. While being showered with rose petals, because no governor had ever visited a state agency office, he was told that upgrading the computer system would save the state millions that could be used to help needy Illinois citizens.
But, alas, the big bad union will not allow it because it would cost 120 jobs. He also noted that the office's back room was plastered with papers and, you guessed it, another big bad union requirement.
Unfortunately, Rauner could not explain how upgrading a computer system would cost 120 jobs any more than he could remember which agency office he visited.

The Slice is Right is a mobile pizza start-up created by Economics graduate Luke Davies. Based in Leeds, the business offers traditional-style Neapolitan pizza and offers customers an Italian pizza experience at an affordable price.
Our menu is strictly veggie/vegan and aims to showcase the best vegan products available on the market, meaning that you can enjoy a delicious pizza whilst minimising your impact on the environment. As well as catering private events and collaborating with local businesses to provide food options, we also host our own events, bringing together local talent so that people can enjoy a night of music and pizza.
The idea to launch The Slice is Right came to me during the lockdown. With little else to do, food became a hugely important part of my daily routine. It became a central point in my house where my family could all spend extra effort creating something tasty. But as well as getting me passionate about cooking, it also highlighted the joy of getting good, local, takeaway food.
A pizza van would come through my village once a week, an event which quickly became a source of great anticipation and excitement whilst the world stood still. Inspired by this, I wanted to launch my own business doing something similar. I was also working fulltime throughout the pandemic as a refuse collector which gave me plenty of time to save up the money required to launch the business.

The combination of Wilmington’s encouraging performance for the six months ended 31 December 2014, its reinvigorated strategy and its relaunched branding has provided clear evidence that the company is moving firmly in the right direction. Chief Executive Pedro Ros, speaking in London on 25 February, not only presented results that were well-received, but also confirmed the successful completion of Wilmington’s restructuring for growth.
Commenting on the results, Ros said:
“Trading has been in line with the board’s expectations and, as our clients’ businesses are exposed to increasingly complex legislation and ever-tighter regulatory control, we remain confident that global demand for Wilmington’s products and services will grow correspondingly.”
With organic revenue growing by 8% to £46.1 million and adjusted pre-tax profit up 14% to £8.1 million, there are clear signs that Wilmington is already benefiting from a renewed focus on areas with the greatest growth potential. Reaction from the City was almost immediate, with broker Westhouse Securities quick to upgrade its investment rating for the company’s shares.
“We are pleased with the positive trading momentum and margin progress evident in these results and by the increased focus on organic growth and exploiting organisational synergies under WIL’s refreshed strategy. We believe … that the potential for upgrades as the year develops has strengthened.”
Among other favourable reactions, broker Numis Securities was equally positive; according to The Interactive Investor, the broker commented:
“Numbers firmly underpinned in 2015, with risk on the upside as we move through H2. Wilmington shares remain very good value at current levels, we reiterate our Buy and 315p target.”
CFO’s Review Highlights Operational Excellence
Expanding on the overall numbers, CFO Tony Foye’s operational review highlighted an excellent performance by Risk & Compliance companies. The division, which includes Wilmington’s fastest-growing and highest-margin businesses, recorded a 15% increase in first-half revenue at 32% margin (2013: 33%), and is set to deliver more of the same.
When these results are taken together with Wilmington’s growing international footprint – 38% of total revenue is now generated outside the UK – the company’s senior management is understandably bullish about prospects for the remainder of the year and beyond. Ros confirmed that he would pursue a limited number of strategically targeted acquisitions to fill identified gaps in Wilmington’s portfolio. The outlook for the remainder of 2014/15, he confirmed, “remains on track.”

Resistance training can be a big help to people who either have type 2 diabetes or are at risk of developing it. Ideally, trainers should combine cardiovascular and resistance training to help clients prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, but cardiovascular exercise isn’t always a good fit. In those cases, resistance training may be the only option available.
There’s no denying that diabetes is a serious health challenge. The World Health Organization (2015) estimates that 9% of adults worldwide have diabetes. Furthermore, 86 million Americans (more than 1 in 3) have prediabetes—an elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes—and nearly 90% of them don’t know they have it (ADA 2016). Left untreated, 15%–30% of people with prediabetes will develop diabetes within 5 years (ADA 2016).
Fortunately, prediabetes can be reversed with exercise, weight loss and dietary changes (ADA 2016). This makes it imperative for fitness professionals to stay abreast of the most recent evidence-based exercise research to best prevent or manage type 2 diabetes.
Ishiguro et al. (2016) note that cardiovascular training is the traditional exercise for improving the metabolic profiles of patients with type 2 diabetes. These researchers say resistance training has gained a lot of attention recently because it can improve glycemic control, maintain bone mineral density, increase muscular strength and prevent osteoporosis. Unfortunately, Ishiguro et al. add, not all patients can get enough regular cardiovascular exercise to optimize health benefits. Thus, resistance training may be a first choice of exercise for some people with type 2 diabetes.
Exercise Selection: Maximizing Activated Muscle Mass
Given that the glucose response is specific to the contracting muscles, Ishiguro et al. (2016) suggest focusing on exercises that will increase the muscle mass to be activated. To optimize glucose uptake, symptomatic people should do resistance exercises that engage large muscles and/or multiple muscle groups. The larger the muscle mass activated, the greater the potential for exercise-induced glucose uptake, because more GLUT4 transporters and insulin receptors will be stimulated.
Large, multijoint exercises such as chest press, shoulder press, latissimus dorsi pull-down, squat and dead lift are preferable to smaller, single-joint exercises such as chest fly, lateral shoulder raise and biceps curl. Total-body resistance training programs for both the upper and lower body have been shown to elicit significant effects on glucose clearance and insulin response in young and elderly people (Craig, Everhart
Brown 1989). To capitalize on this gain, personal trainers may wish to combine multijoint upper- and lower-body exercises into one movement to maximize engaged musculature.
Complex movements—including squat with shoulder press, lunge with biceps curl, and dead lift into upright row—may optimize the benefits of exercise-induced glucose control and make for time-efficient workouts, potentially increasing program adherence. Theoretically, these types of exercise could prove most effective for glycemic control.

The credit on this piece says “A.O. Scott is a chief film critic at The Times and the author of ‘Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and Truth.’” I read him frequently. (Strictly as a side note, I’m intrigued that The Times calls him “a” chief film critic at that newspaper. Generally, can there be more than one “chief”?) His engaging essay about Sontag’s writings helps me understand my early infatuation with her “Notes on Camp.”
In the chapter of “Against Interpretation” called “Camus’ Notebooks” — originally published in The New York Review of Books — Sontag divides great writers into “husbands” and “lovers”…
[Quoting from Sontag:] Some writers supply the solid virtues of a husband: reliability, intelligibility, generosity, decency. There are other writers in whom one prizes the gifts of a lover, gifts of temperament rather than of moral goodness. Notoriously, women tolerate qualities in a lover — moodiness, selfishness, unreliability, brutality — that they would never countenance in a husband, in return for excitement, an infusion of intense feeling. In the same way, readers put up with unintelligibility, obsessiveness, painful truths, lies, bad grammar — if, in compensation, the writer allows them to savor rare emotions and dangerous sensations. [End of Quote from Sontag]
The sexual politics of this formulation are quite something. Reading is female, writing male. The lady reader exists to be seduced or provided for, ravished or served, by a man who is either a scamp or a solid citizen. Camus, in spite of his movie-star good looks (like Sontag, he photographed well), is condemned to husband status. He’s the guy the reader will settle for, who won’t ask too many questions when she returns from her flings with Kafka, Céline or Gide. He’s also the one who, more than any of
them, inspires love.
(A. O. Scott, “How Susan Sontag Taught Me To Think,” NYTimes, 10-8-19)
(c) 2019 JMN
“The sexual politics of this formulation are quite something. Reading is female, writing male.” That’s NOT what she said. She said, “Some writers supply the solid virtues of a husband…” She didn’t even say all writers fall into one or the other camp, but “some” and “other”. Talk about taking a metaphor literally, and then extrapolating from it so that even the reader is gendered. Either I’m overestimating Sontag here, or she had a mind like a steel trap and I need to reevaluate my former respect for her.

Titan Eye Plus, the third consumer facing business of Titan Industries, has forayed into lens making and set up its own manufacturing facility in Chikkabalapur, Bengaluru. With the foray into lens making, Titan Eye Plus will now be able to offer prescription lenses in India.
“We entered the business as retailers and now keeping in mind the consumer benefit in terms of swift delivery and better quality, we decided to manufacture lenses,” said Bhaskar Bhat, managing director, Titan Industries.
The facility will deliver 200,000 lenses annually, and according to Titan Industries the capacity is sufficient for the next few years. “We are a late entrant in this segment which is largely unorganised and heavily fragmented. Titan Eye Plus will bring value to this business,” adds Bhat.
According to market estimates the industry is worth around Rs 1,800 crore.


ECOSYSTEM: any group of living organisms and non-living things occurring together, and the interrelationships between them. They are dynamic systems.
HABITAT: the place where an organism lives.
POPULATION: all of the organisms of one species, who live in the same place at the same time, and can breed together.
COMMUNITY: all the populations of different species who live in the same place at the same time, and can interact with each other.
NICHE: the role that each species plays in an ecosystem.
BIOTIC FACTORS: describe the effects of the living components of an ecosystem-food supply, predation, disease.
ABIOTIC FACTORS: describe the effects of non living components of an ecosystem-pH, temperature, soil type.
PRODUCER: supply chemical energy to all other organisms, at the bottom of the food chain/web.
CONSUMER: animal that feeds on producers or consumers.
DECOMPOSERS: feed on waste material or dead organisms.
TROPHIC LEVEL: the level at which an organism feeds in a food chain.
At each trophic level, some energy is lost from a food chain and is therefore unavailable to the organism at the next trophic level. At each trophic level, living organisms need energy to carry out life processes. Respiration releases energy from organic molecules like glucose. Some of this energy is eventually converted to heat. Energy remains stored in dead organisms and waste material includes part of animals and plants that cannot be digested.
PYRAMID OF NUMBERS: each bar proportional to the number of individuals.
PYRAMID OF BIOMASS: area of bars is proportional to dry mass of all the organisms at that trophic level-collect all organisms and put them in an oven at 80 degrees until all the water in them has been evaporated-destructive, so ecologists often use the wet mass and calculate dry mass from data.
PYRAMID OF ENERGY: burning organisms in calorimeter and working out how much heat energy is released per gram.
Limitations: only take a snapshot of ecosystem at one moment in time, may provide a distorted idea of the efficiency of energy transfer.
PRODUCTIVITY: the rate at which energy passes through each trophic level, MJ.
PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY: the total amount of energy fixed by photosynthesis. It is the net flux of carbon from the atmosphere to plants, per unit time.
GROSS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY: the rate at which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY: the rate at which carbohydrate accumulates in the tissue of plants of an ecosystem and is measured in dry organic mass. NPP = PP - R (respiratory heat loss). The amount of energy available to heterotrophs.
By manipulating environmental factors, humans can increase NPP-light levels, lack of water, temperature, available nutrients, pests, fungal disease, competition/
Improving secondary productivity: harvesting animals just before adulthood minimises loss of energy from the food chain, treated with steroids, selective breeding, treatment with antibiotics, zero grazing.
SUCCESSION: directional change in a community of organisms over time.
Island of Surtsey in Iceland: algae and lichens, pioneer community, erosion of rock, build-up of dead and rotting organisms produces enough soil for larger…

MLB notebook: Tigers' Verlander skirts issue of nude photos
• Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander spoke to reporters for the first time about leaked nude photos of him and girlfriend Kate Upton that surfaced during Labor Day weekend. “I'm not going to comment on my personal life,” Verlander said in the Tigers' clubhouse before Tuesday's game against the Indians. “I never have, and I never plan on it.” Verlander, Upton and other celebrities allegedly had their photos stolen and posted online. The FBI has launched an investigation.
• Michael Wacha will replace Justin Masterson in the Cardinals' rotation Thursday and make his first start since mid-June. Manager Mike Matheny said Wacha will be limited to around 60 pitches at Milwaukee. He's 5-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 15 starts and has been on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder stress reaction. Masterson, acquired at the trade deadline from Cleveland, was 2-3 with a 7.90 ERA in six starts.
• Brewers outfielder •Carlos Gomez was diagnosed with a sprained left wrist and will be out of the starting lineup for at least one week.
• Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo could be done for the rest of the season because of a strained lower back. Rizzo was hurt Aug. 26 and has been out of the lineup for a week. The 25-year-old Rizzo is hitting .278 with 30 home runs and 71 RBIs.
• Masahiro Tanaka plans to throw a bullpen this week, the next step for the injured Yankees ace as he tries to overcome a recent setback. Manager Joe Girardi said Tanaka threw well Tuesday, and team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad diagnosed the right-hander with arm fatigue.
