Silver Line is a romantic tale in the truest sense of the word, combining an American legend, time travel adventure, and a modern mystery. Jared Sutherland knew nothing of the diary that lay hidden in a quiet corner of Colorado, nor did he know he had a former life. Son of the main character in Tory Roof, he had repressed his extrasensory skills until he meets Alexa St. Clair at an East Coast college. There they discover they can revert to their former, 10-year-older selves — a rugged miner and a beautiful dance hall girl living in an 1860s Colorado town. Lured by the adventure and heat of romance, they continue to return, facing the rigors of frontier life: gunfights, claim jumping, and an epidemic. As a journalism student, Jared is also consumed by the unsolved Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist which, for 30 years, remains on ongoing investigation. Determined to locate the stolen art for an article he is writing, Jared and Alexa encounter a stalker, shady art dealers, and a homeless man who knows a lot. With too many cooincidences to ignore, they ultimately realize that clues to the present lie in the past.
Handsome, wealthy and always hotly pursued by London’s Society beauties, the Duke of Wydeminster is a gentleman very much in demand – yet his affaires de coeur invariably leave him dissatisfied and feeling trapped, especially his current one with the beautiful Fenella Newbury, who is married to a much older husband.
What he needs in his life is not more love affairs, but a new challenge and very much sooner than he could have expected one presents itself.
First in the baffling form of a strange young woman called Aldora, who accosts him in unlikely circumstances and insists that her mother intends to force him to marry her, while also avowing her deep hatred of the Duke for reasons that he cannot fathom.
Next comes the revelation that Aldora’s mother, the ambitious Marchioness of Berkhampton has suggested to Queen Victoria that the Duke should become the new Viceroy of India – a position hardly less than that of a King!
But there is a catch.
Aldora indeed spoke the truth!
In order to be considered for the supreme position of Viceroy, he must marry this young woman who despises and detests him –

Ben Zook had only two loves in his life: books and birds. In a stroke of good fortune, he'd stumbled onto a way to cobble together those two loves into a career, writing books about rare birds. He was as free as a bird--until a chase for a rare White-winged Tern takes him to the one place on earth he planned to never return: his Amish home in Stoney Ridge.
Desperate for photographs of the elusive tern, Ben hires a local field guide, Micah Weaver, and boards at Micah's farm, planning to "bag the bird" and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah's sister, Penny.
One long-ago summer, Penny had introduced Ben to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. That was when she knew true love. She'd always hoped he would come back to Stoney Ridge. Back to his Amish roots. Back to her. The only problem? Ben has absolutely no memory of Penny.
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher welcomes her readers to the Amish community at Stoney Ridge in this engaging story of discovering just who the rare birds are in life.

BRAND-new bus embayments have been springing up around Gelvandale the past month.
The bays – five in Beetlestone Road, and the others in Springbok Street, Aubrey Street, Van Der Kemp Street and Gail Road, are not being built for buses though.
The embayments are being built for “feeder” taxis which will ferry passengers to IPTS bus stops along Stanford Road, according to Ward 10 Councillor Andy Jordan.
“The IPTS bus stops are far from where most passengers reside, so these feeder taxis will make the bus service more accessible by taking people closer.
“The fares for the feeder taxis will be included in the tickets purchased for the IPTS bus, so the feeder taxis will not take cash. Passengers need to only show their bus ticket.”
The embayments are not the only change the ward has seen recently. Two outdoor gyms have been erected in Gelvandale and Schauderville.
“I feel strongly about utilising open areas for outdoor gyms. Residents of all ages have been enjoying these gyms and these have deterred loitering and illegal dumping in these spaces.”

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Dr Mohammed Mahmood Abubakar has said the Federal governments “No vaccination” policy for the control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza otherwise known as ‘Bird Flu’ in Nigeria remains.
The Minister made this known at a Media briefing held in Abuja on Thursday.
The Minister said since 2006 when the country recorded her first outbreak of HPAI in a farm in Kaduna State, the Federal Government with the support of World bank and other development partners intervened in different ways to ensure prompt and effective prevention and control of the disease. One of such interventions was the formulation of a policy on prevention and control of HPAI bordering on Modified Stamping Out and No Vaccination strategy. This approach was to stop the circulation of the HPAI virus in our environment and mitigate losses to the poultry farmers.
He said ” Following the resurgence of HPAI in 2014, poultry farmers and other stakeholders, who desperately wished to stop the cycle of the disease called for a reconsideration of the NO VACCINATION POLICY. The calls have resurfaced again for the same reasons. Therefore, the Ministry in her avowed commitment for proper stakeholders’ consultation set up a Ministerial Committee consisting of experts from the research institutions, academia, public and private sectors and international partners to look into what the sub – sector was doing right in the past that prevented or contained the disease, what has gone wrong and importantly, what should now be done.
“After due consideration of scientific and socio-economic evidences available to the committee on merits and demerits of vaccination or no vaccination, best global practices as well as the recommendations of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), the committee recommends that the country should stick to the ‘No Vaccination’ policy for now.” the minister disclosed.
However,the minister said though the committee noted that the country might want to change her policy to vaccinate against HPAI in future, it recommends some activities to be carried out before considering the option of vaccination against HPAI as a policy for the country.
“These should include the following; updating the identification and characterization of circulating HPAI virus strains in Nigeria updating prevalence and associated risk factors conduct of risk assessment and analysis ascertaining the efficacy of the vaccines and risk-mapping of the poultry production systems in the country.” Abubakar explains.


The picture that has emerged after the results of the assembly elections of four states has once again proved that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has actually become a guarantee of victory. If we study the election campaign and other publicity media of the three big states of North India, it becomes clearly visible that in these states the Bharatiya Janata Party did not promote any regional leader as the Chief Minister, only Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP entered the election field with its face in front. Today, Modi is the only face of BJP in the entire country with whom the voters have a direct connect. They connect with the grassroots through their government. The biggest fact in these elections is that Congress had a severe shortage of campaigning leaders in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Even though the Congress appeared to be claiming that it was forming the government again, the promises and claims of the Congress were dashed after the results.
The way the public has expressed confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party today, it will only ease the way for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Congress tried to re-establish Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi as heroes in these elections, but like every time, this time also their efforts could not give positive results. This effort of Congress was probably also because Congress was dreaming of presenting Rahul Gandhi for the post of Prime Minister in the Lok Sabha elections. Along with this, Congress leaders wanted to establish the status of the dominant party in the alliance of opposition parties. The defeat of Congress after the elections has once again created conditions for a rift in the alliance. The only reason behind this can be said that even today the Congress leaders are not reflecting on their mistakes, whereas the truth is that the Congress has not made any significant progress in the last ten years.
The victory of BJP and defeat of Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh could have many implications. In which first of all it can be said that Congress was seen standing shoulder to shoulder with the opponents of Sanatan. At present, when the dominance of patriotism is increasing in India, then naturally it can also be said that now the public is not going to accept opposition to the country in any form. It is true that anyone who tries to destroy Sanatan will definitely be considered a suicidal step. The fact to consider here is that whoever does politics to strengthen India will have to join Sanatan. The one who contests elections speaking the language of love will have to keep pace with Hindutva. Patriotism cannot be expressed on the basis of politics that opposes Sanatan. Today the main thread of Congress politics seems to be divide and rule. Congress should try to do India’s politics, not the politics of leftist ideas. The discussion of leftism here is also important because after losing the elections, a big leader of Congress, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, openly admitted that at present, leaders holding leftist ideas have entered the Congress, unless these leaders are thrown out. Unless this is done, Congress will not be benefited. Along with this he says that this is not the defeat of Congress, but the defeat of the Left. It is true that today the Left has completely vanished from the country, but Congress seems to be giving it life. If Congress does politics on its own principles, it can preserve its lost heritage, but it does not seem so. Because today Congress does not want to atone for its mistake.
Although the results of the assembly elections in five states are being projected as an unexpected victory for the BJP, the Congress has formed a majority government in Telangana. However, this victory is the result of the political influence of regional leaders. This cannot be presented as a success of the central leadership. Because if the central leadership was acceptable among the public, its impact would have been visible in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Well… now Congress should introspect as to why it is losing its support base in this way. The only reason behind this can be considered that even today its National President Mallikarjun Kharge is the leader of the Congress, but the Congress leaders have not been able to develop the mentality to accept him in this form even today. One reason for the defeat of the Congress can be considered that the Congress is not hesitating in taking the help of those political parties who make malicious attempts to put Sanatan in the dock every now and then. Today the scenario of the country has changed. There has also been a massive change in mentality. Therefore, only what is true should be said in politics. Congress should not rely on politics of lies. Rahul Gandhi’s lies have been proved many times and he has apologized many times.
If we study the politics of the country today, it must be accepted that Narendra Modi has become such an influential leader whom the country listens to. In such a situation, Congress should talk only about itself in its politics, the more Modi is criticized, the stature of Modi will become bigger. It is the reality of politics that the opposition parties did more publicity for Modi than the BJP did. Congress is also becoming weak because its leaders are still not ready to accept that they are out of power at the Centre. An important thing is visible in the language of Congress leaders. Politics of arrogance is also the reason for the defeat of Congress in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Therefore, now the leaders of Congress should consider how its lost glory can be brought back. If this cannot happen then naturally Modi will remain a big guarantee for the country.

That Ban Ki Moon does not have a reputation for outspokenness makes his statement all the more notable. But it is not a new idea, even in diplomatic circles. Sir David King, Britain's top science adviser, was widely criticized a few years ago when he posited that global warming was man's greatest challenge and a far bigger threat to humanity than terrorism. And Al Gore has repeatedly suggested that confronting global warming is, in the words of William James, "the moral equivalent of war." For James, of course, the great cause was the "war against war," which he warned would be "no holiday excursion or camping party." Ditto this one.

The Government will in January roll out 88 technical and vocational courses as it begins to implement the competence-based education and training policy framework.
The principal secretary for Technical Training, Kevit Desai, said the courses had been designed to bridge the practical gap that has been lacking in the country’s labour market.
Speaking at the Kenya Technical Trainers’ College (KTTC) in Nairobi during the launching of the framework, the PS said that for the first time in Kenya’s history, technical and vocational training (TVET) would have a salary scheme.
“For long, employees in these fields were at the mercy of their employers. They used to be paid peanuts. But this has ended. We have developed salary guidelines for all TVET cadres,” Dr Desai said.
He explained that framework and salary guidelines have been developed in consultation with industry players.
He said there will be different salary scales, similar to those that exist in other fields.
“We are going to attract many youths in this training because after finishing one module that takes three months, you will be paid a minimum of Sh20,000. For the Higher National Diploma, the salary is similar to what is paid in the civil service,” the PS said.
He added that in January, the Government would enrol one million youths into TVETs, with plans to get five million in 2020.
“This is going to revolutionise our country and make us achieve our Big Four agenda,” Desai said.
According to the framework, the short courses approved for implementation in January will be taken in six levels.

Core units of learning in marriage and family counselling level six include premarital, trauma, marriage, family, sex therapy and marriage and family research.
Desai said the curriculum to be introduced in January, would be based on standards that were benchmarked internationally to ensure that young people got relevant and quality training.
“The objective of our visit is to see our facilities and their preparations for the new initiative of Competence-Based Education Training (CBET). We hope to introduce competence-based education training by January,” said the PS at another function at the Kitale National Polytechnic.
Kitale Polytechnic has started training on competence-based education.
The PS said with the new curriculum, innovation was central, urging relevant authorities to ensure that the market systems reacted to innovations to tap from what the technical institutions would produce.
He said the country was losing out because of failing to align markets systems to promote innovation, science and technology, a problem that killed innovation among the youth.
“Technical institutions across the country are finalising preparations for the new curriculum by ensuring there is enough equipment,” he said.
As a result, Desai added, the Government was looking for ways to invest in the equipment and machinery.

Here’s the quick summary of the basic question: what has happened in our East Bay Area real estate market in the past year.
A year ago all the talk was about buyers sitting on the fence. Buyer apathy and lack of willingness to make a decision changed quickly to motivation. The change occurred quickly at the beginning of 2012 in SF, two months later in the East Bay, mid-March, specifically. Rates had been great last year. Yes, they’re even better now, but that wasn’t the big difference. Issues of confidence were huge: buyers needed to see that the bottom had been reached before they were truly motivated—concerns over jobs were a major factor. Now the increase in tech jobs has trickled up from Silicon Valley, to SF, and across the Bay, increasing confidence.
—there’s an emotional component—many buyers simply got tired of waiting
—enormous increase in rental rates first in SF and then in the East Bay have motivated buyers to jump into the market. Oakland rents are up over 19% from last year! I’ll write a separate post focusing on that! But just so you know, average rental rates in SF are now between $2700-3000 for 600-900 sq. ft. I’ll show you what that can buy for that amount in the East Bay!
We said all last year that we had low inventory, and historically we did.
This year inventory is down 54% from the low levels of last year.Now we have twice to three times as many buyers competing, for half of the inventory. Basic supply and demand have resulted in what is mostly a sellers’ market. It’s always easier for buyers to get ready than sellers, many of whom need to make repairs or upgrades, let alone pack up. And the real problem comes if they’re staying in the same market, and they need to compete for their replacement home—many would-be sellers have delayed for that reason, and it’s understandable. Some sellers are still waiting, hoping that their homes will again hit the peaks prices we saw in the second quarter of 2007.
A quick look at the numbers:
Q3 2012 vs. Q3 a year ago for single family homes in a six city area: Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Kensington, Oakland and and Piedmont (by the way, I work in Alameda as well, but that’s a rather separate market.)
$$ volume of single family home sales is up 19%
Average price is up by 16%--the highest average prices since 2008.
Months supply of inventory is down from 2.3 last year (really low) to 1.1 mos this year.
55% of homes are selling over asking price (100% of homes I’ve been involved in!)
Hottest price point is $700-800K range, where 77% sold over asking
In the entire range of $600K-900K, 0.6-0.8 months of inventory exist. Low inventory is resulting in higher prices:
- Berkeley is up 6% year-to-year
- Berkeley Hills up 10%
- Oakland is up 22%
- El Cerrito up 11 %
But still there is good news for buyers:
—On average, peak in our area was Q2 of 2007; current Q3 avg. prices are off by 33%. On average we’re at 2002 levels.
—New listings that came on in the 5 weeks since Labor Day is up 14% over last year. Within the past two weeks it has felt like a new wave of attractive offerings.
So buyers: have faith, and get as prepared as possible. I’m always happy to talk about the best strategies for each buyer’s situation.
And sellers, it’s NOT too late to put your home on the market still in 2012. There are tax advantages, and there is remarkable demand from buyers. Unlike in areas of extreme weather, buyers will be out in force. Remember all of those gorgeous Christmas days?? And if you can’t get ready for 2012, it’s time to be preparing to be one of the earlier homes on for 2013.

The Alchemist Club is a student science organization that allows students on-and-off campus to come
together, execute various experiments and admire all things associated with chemistry. Junior biochemistry molecular biology major Rebecca Prest explained that members of the club do not just perform experiments all day; they also help each other out academically.
“We sit down with one another and look at graduate schools together,” Prest said. “We also look for future
career opportunities and tech schools; along with that, we also help each other out with any homework
we have. The room we’re usually in is what we call the “Mentor Room,” and there is usually someone in
there that can support us whenever we need chemistry help.”
Alchemist Club President Merle Phillips said that the Alchemist Club has been around at Western for almost 50 years and is still pushing to provide campus and the community with the opportunity to learn more about science.
“Science should be free and open to the public,” Phillips said. “We love being able to interact with the
students and anyone else who is interested in any sort of science.”
The Alchemist Club holds two major events every year: The Fire and Ice Show (formerly known as Pumpkin Blasting) and Super Science Saturday. The Fire and Ice Show, performed on Nov. 1, was filled with grade school-type experiments, from making a whoosh bottle to setting a pumpkin on fire. Super Science Saturday occurred in January 2019, attracting almost 2,000 people from the community to experience various types of science experiments.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Thousands of New Yorkers will walk the city’s streets May 3-4 in honor of urban activist and beloved author, Jane Jacobs.
Jane’s Walk NYC, hosted by the Municipal Art Society (MAS), is an annual weekend-long series of 150-plus free “walking conversations” throughout the five boroughs, led by local residents, urban enthusiasts and others who care deeply about their neighborhoods.
Started in Toronto in 2007, a year after Jacobs’ death, these walks commemorate the life and legacy of a woman whose observations about the dynamism of city life continue to inform urban policy and practice. Since its inception, Jane’s Walk has grown into a global movement, with walks in over 100 cities worldwide.
This year’s Jane’s Walk NYC will include an array of walks, culminating on Sunday evening, May 4th with Jane’s Birthday Party, when walk leaders, volunteers, participants, and members of the public are invited to come together at Hester Street Fair to share stories and celebrate the weekend on what would have been Jane’s 98th birthday.
Top walks in Staten Island include:
Saturday, May 3rd - Great Kills, Staten Island: Town & Harbor: This walk will include a tour of the Great Kills neighborhood.
Saturday, May 3rd - Forest Avenue & West Brighton: This family-friendly tour will visit mansions on Bard Avenue and step into some of the venerable mom-and-pop shops while discussing how the neighborhood has changed over the years and where it can go next.
“We are proud to honor the spirit and accomplishments of the great Jane Jacobs through Jane’s Walk,” said MAS Executive Director Margaret Newman. “Jane strongly believed in community-centered approaches to strengthening neighborhoods, which is precisely why Jane’s Walks are led by local people – the folks who know their communities best. The Walks are also a great opportunity for people to connect with their neighbors, other New Yorkers, local businesses and visitors to the city.”
All of the MAS-sponsored walks combine the simple act of exploring neighborhoods with personal observations, local history, and civic engagement, reflecting Jacobs’ urging that a city’s health is dependent on having many “eyes on the street.” A typical walk is 90 minutes and is free and open to the public.
Jane’s Walk NYC is supported by: Airbnb, Cemusa, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, The Knight Foundation, TimeOut New York and WNYC.

BACKGROUND: For 120 years the Municipal Art Society has made New York a more livable city by advocating for excellence in urban planning and design, a commitment to historic preservation and the arts, and the empowerment of local communities to effect change in their neighborhoods. From saving Grand Central Terminal and the lights of Times Square, to establishing groundbreaking land-use and preservation laws that have become national models, MAS is at the forefront of New York’s most important campaigns to promote our city’s economic vitality, cultural vibrancy, environmental sustainability, and social diversity.

Hauling propane cylinders long distances often leads to serious injury.
Since a forklift without a low propane fuel gauge can run out of gas unexpectedly during a task, the breakdown can occur a long distance from the exchange cabinet. In larger warehouses, drivers could haul an empty propane cylinder 300 to 400 yards (274 - 365 meters) to the exchange cabinet, then make the return trip with a much heavier, full cylinder. This puts the driver at high risk for a serious back, shoulder, knee or other injury.
Falling items from a load at full extension can crush workers.
The most common forklift accidents occur when a load is elevated and poorly stacked or piled on the pallet, the pallet is in poor repair or the load is too heavy. There is a real risk of items falling and crushing workers. In this situation, when a forklift runs out of gas at the moment a load is elevated, the risk of injury is the highest. All it takes to bring an unbalanced load down would be for the dead forklift to be bumped by another lift passing through the narrow aisle space or be jostled by passersby.
Blocking of aisles could cause pedestrian accidents.
When a forklift breaks down, it often blocks an aisle. Unfortunately, this contributes to a number of pedestrian accidents. We all know it’s hard to back up a forklift safely - and not that easy to turn it in a confined space. And if there is a heavy load in front, a driver’s visibility can be reduced. So when working forklifts manoeuver to avoid the stranded forklift and get out of the blocked aisle, there is a significant risk of hitting pedestrians.
Forklift mast failure can lead to serious accidents.
While rare, failure of the lift chain, cylinder rod, mast-guide plate or hose could lead to an unrestricted descent of a forklift’s lift mechanism. The safety risk is increased if the LPG forklift is stranded with an elevated load for an extended period of time, due to running out of gas.
The best insurance against these propane forklift safety risks is to install the MLD low propane fuel gauge. Very affordable and proven reliable, MLD alerts the forklift driver when it is time to change the cylinder. At this point there is enough propane remaining to allow them to finish a task and return safely to the exchange cabinet. Best of all, warehouse safety is significantly improved.
MLD is manufactured by Rotarex SRG, a world leader in premium LPG valves and regulators with decades of service to the LPG industry. If you’d like more information about MLD, please contact me.


Recycling changes coming to Orlando
New bins can hold six times the amount of recyclables
Thousands of Orlando residents are seeing major changes when it comes to recycling.
Almost 24,000 Orlando homes will see new recycle containers dropped off in their driveways during the next eight weeks.
The new bins may not appear that they can hold a lot of recyclables but the new container can hold the same amount of materials to be recycled as could six of the old bins.
About half of the households in the City Beautiful are getting the new recycling containers.
Peter Mohun isn't especially happy about how large the container is but it does have one major plus.
"No more sorting. That's the truth that is a good point. Now we can just put it all in one spot and not separate bins anymore. That is a good thing so I guess it's a trade off," said Mohun. "It's kind of like a basketball hoop now you can leave the lid open and from the kitchen toss cans in. Unless you have your kids do it."
The bins are costing the city $50 each, but a test group of neighborhoods showed that participation when using these bins increased from 40 to 50 percent. That should help the city keep 4,000 tons of recyclables out of the Orange County landfill each year, that will save the city about $150,000 annually.
"Which will save us at the disposal fee. There's no disposal cost to get rid of recycling, it is sorted and sold for the value of the commodity, so we'll save on the dump fee there," said Orlando Solid Waste Division Manager Mike Carroll. "We'll also save by picking up every other week, so that is a fuel savings and greener there and we do not need special trucks, we use regular trucks now to pick these up so we do not need spare trucks for recycling."
The initial delivery to all homes will take until mid-January and residents can order the bins from the Solid Waste Division at anytime.
Just to make sure residents know exactly what can and cannot go in these containers there is a label right on the lid that shows what types of glass, plastic, paper and more can be recycled.

The team of iSmrat Shankar has released a new poster of this upcoming film in which the young and energetic actor Ram Pothineni is seen lifting Nidhhi Agerwal. The spicy mouth watering chemistry between the lead pair is getting hotter. The styling of Nidhhi Agerwal & her expression is raising the mercury levels.
Today the makers are going to release a single ‘Undipo’. Yesterday Charmee Kaur shared the poster on her twitter and wrote, “Mouth watering visuals #Undipo lyrical video from #iSmartShankar today at 11 AM @ramsayz @purijagan #manisharma @NabhaNatesh @AgerwalNidhhi @PuriConnects @bhaskarabhatla #PCfilm @zeemusicsouth @LamaAnee.”
iSmrat Shankar is being helmed by Puri Jagannadh and is jointly bankrolled by Puri Jagannadh and Charmee Kaur under the banners of Puri Jagannadh Touring Talkies And Puri Connects. Mani Sharma is on the board to render the tune of this upcoming action entertainer. The movie comes up with the tagline ‘Double Dimaak Hyderabadi.’ This is the first time Ram Pothineni and Nidhhi Agerwal are working together for a movie- iSmrat Shankar. Apart from them, the film also has Nabha Natesh in female lead.
Ram Pothineni was last seen in Hello Guru Prema Kosame, in which he shared the screen space with Anupama Parameswaran and Pranitha Subhash, and the movie was decent hit at the box office.
iSmart Shankar starring Ram Pothineni, Nabha Natesh and Nidhhi Agerwal will hit the theaters on 18th July.

People in Wales should “get ready” for rolling lockdowns over the winter months, Wales’ chief medical officer has said.
Dr Frank Atherton said Wales could be “going in and out of those restrictions over the next few months”.
Local lockdown areas now cover 2.3 million people living in Wales.
Latest figures now show rising rates in Gwynedd and Ceredigion, which may put them at risk of also facing new restrictions.
Public Health Wales recorded 21 new cases of Covid-19 in Gwynedd on Sunday, which pushed its weekly infection rate to 47 per 100,000 of the population.
Ceredigion is now at 32 cases per 100,000 of the population.
Both counties have reported cases linked to students, with face-to-face teaching suspended for a time in Aberystwyth.
Mr Atherton also said it was not “too surprising” to see outbreaks in some university communities.
“We saw that in Swansea, Aberystwyth and recently the same picture up in Bangor,” he said.
“I hope that they would be containable in the student population. We don’t want those outbreaks to leak into the general population.”
Currently 15 out of of Wales’ 22 counties are now facing local lockdown restrictions.
Gwynedd and Anglesey are the only two authorities in north Wales not under local lockdown restrictions.
Yesterday, Public Health Wales reported 432 people have tested positive for coronavirus, with no further deaths.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales’ Breakfast programme, Dr Atherton said he thinks areas will be “coming in and out” of local lockdown restrictions over the coming winter months.
“I think people need to get ready for that scenario,” he said.
“We decide whether local restrictions are needed, and I suspect we may be going in and out of those restrictions over the next few months.
“If the number of cases per 100,000 over a seven day period, comes down to below the 50 per 100,000 level, we can start to think with the local authority, in partnership with them about lifting the restrictions.
“The worst thing is to lift them too early,” he said.
How and when are local lockdowns triggered?
A joint approach is taken by health officials, the Welsh Government and local authorities to assess how, when and where an area may need to face additional coronavirus restrictions.
Officials want to know two things – the rate of infection and the percentage of positive tests coming back in a community.
- An area will be placed on a “watch list” when cases hit 15 per 100,000 of the population over a seven day period. Health officials and local authorities will meet to discuss the situation
- Amber: When an area hits about 25 cases per 100,000, and 2.5% of tests are positive, it is considered to be in an amber warning stage. Officials will want to establish whether there is a pattern to the cases. Is this an isolated cluster – or wider community transmission?
- Red: As cases approach 50 per 100,000, with a 5% positive test rate, an area moves to the stage where active intervention will be considered – such as local lockdown restrictions
One of the key questions for health officials is identifying wider community transmission, and wider risk factors.
For example, infection rates spiked in some communities linked to incidents at meat processing plants on Anglesey, Wrexham and Merthyr Tydfil. However, the source of the infection was known and isolated – and no further local lockdown measures were required.
However, in the case of Caerphilly, no individual cluster could be found, and measures were introduced, making it the very first council area to face such measures.
In north Wales, while infection rates were lower in places such as Conwy, a much higher number of elderly residents in the local populations meant a higher health risk, prompting action there.

The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission to Saturn and its moons two years ago when it was sent plunging into Saturn to be destroyed. But after two years, scientists are still studying the data from the Cassini mission. A new paper based on Cassini data proposes a new explanation for how some lakes on Titan may have formed.
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is the only body in our Solar System other than Earth which has liquid on its surface. On Titan the liquid isn’t water, but ethane and methane, hydrocarbons with very low boiling points, allowing them to stay in liquid phase in Titan’s frigid temperatures. Titan has about 650 hydrocarbon lakes in its polar regions.
The exact nature of these lakes is still not clear. Scientists thought that some of them are similar to karst lakes here on Earth. A weak acid like carbonic acid eats away at soluble rocks like limestone, and when the resulting cavity fills with water, it’s called a karst lake. Scientists studying Titan think that the frigid moon’s liquid methane could have dissolved the ice and organic compounds in the bedrock, and that those reservoirs could have filled with liquid hydrocarbons.
That explanation may fit some of Titan’s lakes, but not all.
There are roughly two types of lakes on Titan, and two size ranges. For the larger lakes with sharp boundaries, the dissolved-by-methane explanation fits. But for other lakes—smaller ones only tens of miles across—it doesn’t fit. That’s because many of them appear to have very steep rims that rise far above sea level, according to Cassini radar-imaging. A new paper suggests a different origin for these lakes.
This new paper is published in Nature Geosciences. It’s title is “Possible explosion crater origin of small lake basins with raised rims on Titan.” The lead author is Giuseppe Mitri of Italy’s G. d’Annunzio University.
Mitri and his colleagues behind the paper thought that the karst explanation didn’t fit the Cassini radar images. The raised rims just didn’t fit with the karst explanation.
“The rim goes up, and the karst process works in the opposite way,” Mitri said. “We were not finding any explanation that fit with a karstic lake basin. In reality, the morphology was more consistent with an explosion crater, where the rim is formed by the ejected material from the crater interior. It’s totally a different process.”
What Could’ve Caused the Explosions?
It’s likely that Titan has gone through periods of cooling and warming. Solar-driven chemistry has depleted and then restored the methane in the atmosphere over time. Scientists think that in the last half-billion years or so, atmospheric methane has acted as a greenhouse gas on Titan, although the temperatures have remained frigid compared to Earth.
During the times when the methane was depleted, the moon cooled. During those colder periods, nitrogen would’ve dominated the atmosphere. As the nitrogen rained down on the surface, it would’ve penetrated the icy crust and accumulated in sub-surface pools.
Then when the methane was restored, it would’ve acted as a greenhouse gas, warming the moon again. When that happened, the nitrogen would’ve become an explosive gas, blowing out craters on the surface, which then would’ve filled with liquid hydrocarbons. Mitri and the other authors of the paper think that this accounts for the steep rims around smaller lakes, that rise far above sea level.
“These lakes with steep edges, ramparts and raised rims would be a signpost of periods in Titan’s history when there was liquid nitrogen on the surface and in the crust,” said Cassini scientist and study co-author Jonathan Lunine, of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The authors say that even localized warming would have been enough to turn the liquid nitrogen into vapor, causing it to expand quickly and blow out a crater.
“This is a completely different explanation for the steep rims around those small lakes, which has been a tremendous puzzle,” said Cassini Project Scientist Linda Spilker of JPL. “As scientists continue to mine the treasure trove of Cassini data, we’ll keep putting more and more pieces of the puzzle together. Over the next decades, we will come to understand the Saturn system better and better.”

Congressional redistricting is now complete in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The 2022 House Interactive Map has been updated with shapes for the 31 total districts in these two states.
Pennsylvania: The State Supreme Court took over the redistricting process after the Republican-controlled legislature and Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf couldn't agree on a plan. After considering over a dozen maps, it implemented one drawn by Jonathon Rodden, a Stanford professor and redistricting expert. Rodden went with a 'least change' approach, although some change was unavoidable given the state is losing a district. According to FiveThirtyEight, "The new map drops one Republican-leaning seat to leave eight Republican-leaning seats, six Democratic-leaning seats and three highly competitive seats."
The lost seat is creating a GOP 'double booking' in the new District 9, where both Rep. Dan Meuser (current PA-09) and Fred Keller (PA-12) are going to seek reelection. They will face off for the party's nomination in the state's May 17 primary.
The current congressional delegation is evenly split 9-9, largely due to a court-ordered redistricting prior to the 2018 election.
North Carolina: A panel of three judges selected the Interim Congressional Plan drawn by court-appointed Special Masters. It discards an amended map approved last week by the State Legislature. The Legislature's initial map was thrown out by the State Supreme Court earlier this month.
The ruling only specified that the map be used for the 2022 elections, so even if the now-enacted map survives a Republican appeal to the State Supreme Court, the process may repeat itself for 2024. That will not be new for a state that had mid-cycle congressional districting before both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Republicans hold an 8-5 edge in the current delegation. The state is gaining a district due to population growth over the past decade. According to the New York Times, the new map "appeared to split North Carolina’s congressional districts roughly equally between Republicans and Democrats, in a state where voters are divided evenly along partisan lines. It gives each party six relatively safe House seats and makes the remaining two winnable by either side."
The Remaining States
Six states, with 67 total districts, have not completed redistricting. Florida's 28 districts account for almost 42% of the total.
|Florida (28)||The state is gaining a district. The state Senate overwhelming approved a plan. A redistricting subcommittee in the state House has advanced its own map; it has not yet been voted on by the full chamber. The process was temporarily put on hold after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) asked the Florida Supreme Court to provide an advisory opinion on whether District 5, the only Black opportunity district in the northern part of the state, must remain largely intact. On February 10, the Court ruled that it would not provide such an opinion. DeSantis has submitted two maps of his own and is threatening to veto any map that doesn't split District 5.|
|Louisiana (6)||A map approved by the Republican-led Legislature is now with Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards. The new plan largely maintains the status quo including, notably, a single majority-Black district. Democrats, including Edwards, favor the addition of a second majority-minority district given that Blacks now comprise about 33% of the state's population. If the governor vetoes the map - he has until March 14 to decide - a two-thirds vote in each chamber would be required to override.|
|Missouri (8)||The Missouri Senate has tabled a map, passed by the state House, that largely maintains the status quo 6-2 Republican edge. Some conservatives in the Senate have pushed for a more aggressive map that would 'crack' Kansas City. This would likely yield a 7-1 map, as that scenario would make it much more difficult for Democrat Emanuel Cleaver to hold his seat.|
|New Hampshire (2)||The Republican-controlled state House approved a map that would make District 1 more favorable for the party. The Senate has not yet taken action; GOP Gov. Chris Sununu has asked that chamber to modify the House map to make both districts more competitive.|
|Ohio (15)||The state is losing a district. Returned to the incomplete list after the State Supreme Court invalidated the enacted plan, calling it an unconstitutional Republican gerrymander. The Legislature was unsuccessful in its attempt to redraw the map, punting the effort to the Ohio Redistricting Commission. The Commission has until mid-March to draw a new map.|
|Wisconsin (8)||In November, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers vetoed the map passed by the Republican-controlled legislature, passing the process to the State Supreme Court. The Court held a daylong hearing last month to consider various proposals. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "[t]he two getting the most scrutiny are the Republican-controlled state Legislature’s maps and the maps from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers."|

text: This book examines absolute poverty in Europe, which is at the moment fairly neglected in academic and policy discourse. It opens with conceptual and methodological considerations that prepare the ground for an application of the concept of absolute poverty in the context of affluent societies and analyses shortcomings of social statistics as well as possibilities to include highly vulnerable groups. This includes thoughts on ethics of research in this particular field where people live under severe circumstances and research can make a difference. The book sheds light on crucial dimensions of deprivation and social exclusion of people in absolute poverty in affluent societies: access to health care, housing and nutrition, poverty related shame and violence. After conceptual and practical issues, the book investigates into different policy responses to absolute poverty in affluent societies from social policy concerns to civic organizations, e. g. food donations, and penalisation and “social cleansing” of highly visible poor. The book finally frames this discussion by profound ethical considerations and normative reasoning about absolute poverty and its alleviation, how it is related to concerns of justice/injustice as well as human dignity. Furthermore, it questions the power and importance of human rights and their judicial protection in regard of persons in absolute poverty.

Deviled eggs are underrated. And given that eggs are one of the most versatile and widely used ingredients, they have been under-experimented. , or when Christmas rolls around, you can’t skip making a version of this delicious appetizer.
serving platter | | ceramic bunny
I also love seasonal holiday cooking, and with spring just around the corner, pickled beetroot deviled eggs sounded perfect.eggs and beets go together So We both love vinegar. This egg has a creamy, slightly punchy, bright yellow appearance (no artificial colors used) and is perfect over soft sprouts and edible flowers (optional, but recommended). function.
These flavors are perfect and are great partners for ham and potato casseroles, so consider making a double batch. is ready.
try this out. It will take some time, but I hope you will enjoy it. A big welcome to a special meal with special people on a holiday that is very important to so many.
pickled beetroot deviled eggs
Hard-boiled eggs marinated in a beetroot and honey brine, served with creamy yolks and fresh vegetables. Really well balanced and a beautiful start to an Easter meal.
make egg marinade
Combine vinegar, water, salt, lemon juice, honey, beets, and saffron (if using) in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes. If the liquid appears to be less than 1/2 cup, add 1/2 cup more liquid.
When the beets are completely soft, add ice and stir to cool. Pour the mix into a fine-mesh strainer and press the beets into the strainer with the back of a spoon. Stir marinade and add eggs. Cover and marinate at least overnight, up to 24 hours. Too long and the egg white will crack.
make the filling
Remove the eggs from the marinade, rinse and pat dry. Carefully cut each in half and scoop the yolk into a bowl. Mash as much as possible with a fork before adding the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. If the mix is too thick, add more marinade, 1 teaspoon at a time.
When the consistency is just right, taste the mix and adjust the seasoning as needed. Squeeze an equal amount of filling onto each egg half.
If using sprouts and sprouts, make 12 greens in a platter. Place half an egg on each bed surrounded by edible flowers. Sprinkle smoked paprika and a pinch of chives on top of each egg. Refrigerate and cover loosely with plastic wrap until ready to serve.

We work hard to protect our environment and give back to our community with everything we do. Here’s how.
IN march 2019, WE WENT LANDFILL-FREE.
You will see containers throughout our facilities to recycle plastic, paper, glass and aluminum items. All other waste is turned into clean, renewable energy at an Energy-from-Waste facility so that none of it ends up as “trash” in a landfill!
From the millions of gallons of water we conserve every year with our 100% Air Chill, to our 100% recyclable product packaging, organic practices and more, Bell & Evans is committed to limiting our environmental footprint because it’s the right thing to do.
We protect the environment from pollutants.
Most poultry producers use hexane-processed soybeans as a cheap source of chicken feed. But hexane is a volatile solvent that pollutes the air and environment. By using 100% extruded, expeller-pressed soybeans, we keep chemicals out of our feed and protect the environment.
We reduce, reuse and recycle.
Our #1 PETE recyclable packaging is BPA-free, freezer-safe and vacuum-sealed for freshness.
We’ve eliminated the waxed cartons used by other poultry producers. All of our master cases are made from 100% recyclable material. We recycle over 20 tons of corrugated cardboard each month. Learn more about our packaging.
We use water wisely.
We save millions of gallons of water each year with our 100% Air Chilled method, which uses cold air (not chlorinated water) to chill our chickens.
We also recycle our manure, which is used as mushroom compost in other local agricultural industries.
Our onsite wastewater treatment plant lets us use recycled water to wash our live haul trailers, transportation modules and drawers. The wastewater effluent is discharged into a stream that has abundant fish, muskrat, mink, frogs and birds.
We give back
Our success has empowered us to give back to our community in various ways, from sponsoring the Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania to volunteering and charitable donations. In 2016, The Association of Fundraising Professionals named our leader, Scott Sechler, Philanthropist of the Year.
With the success of his company, Scott has established a legacy of giving throughout the Lebanon community and beyond. His support of local farmers and FFA organizations by purchasing animals raised by students in the 4-H programs, encourages the continued growth of agriculture in Pennsylvania and giving back to the community that supported him for so long.
Nine years ago, Scott and his team contacted Good Samaritan Hospital to announce plans for a charity golf tournament. They could have never dreamed that the event would grow from a modest $21,000 net contribution in 2009, to $250,000 in August of 2016, for a total of $1 million dollars to date!
When Good Samaritan Hospital shared information with Scott about their dream to enhance cancer care in the Lebanon community, Scott agreed on a major pledge to make the dream a reality. In 2012, Scott formalized his commitment to the cancer center project by pledging $2 million. In January of 2016, WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital opened the Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The new facility would not have been possible without Scott’s leadership and financial support.
Scott’s generosity goes well beyond the cancer project, as he continues to impact many lives in many other communities. In Berks County, he orchestrated and funded the renovation of a vacant school into a Community Campus. The facility is now the home to a Penn State Health/St. Joseph urgent care facility, a Senior Center of Berks County Encore, as well as training facilities for local Fire Company volunteers.
For the past 14 years, Scott has also been instrumental in supporting Lancaster County’s benefit for the missionaries in Haiti, by supplying chicken and a refrigerated truck for the fundraising event.
In Fredericksburg, where his plants are located, Scott has a strong history of support for many community projects, from ball fields to the annual weekend-long Hinkelfest chicken festival, which celebrated 25 years in September 2016.
Scott Sechler and his family have been stalwart philanthropists creating a positive community vision, using their time and financial resources to help others reach their goals. Scott has encouraged business friends and partners to increase their philanthropic involvement, continuing to move the community forward in matters large and small.

Independent Wastegates & Integral Wastegate Actuators
Turbocharged engines allow automotive designers the freedom to create vehicles that offer impressive power output ratios from more compact engines, enabling a reduction in weight and volume, as well as decreased fuel consumption, and cleaner exhaust gases. Lower engine noise also generally results from the achievement of a target power output at lower engine speeds. In order to maximise the response times of the turbocharger, the size of the unit is kept deliberately small, by matching it to the lower end of the engine's speed range. However, this strategy generates the problem of potential over-speed of the turbocharger's rotor at higher engine speeds.
Independent external wastegates were traditionally used but as packaging requirements have become more of an issue, wastegate valves are integrally incorporated into the turbine housing of the turbocharger and so a separate device is required to operate it. The actuator resolves this problem by forcing the wastegate valve to open at a pre-set boost pressure, so allowing some engine exhaust gas to bypass the turbine and thus preventing over-speeding. As the engine speed decreases, the waste-gate valve is closed, and the actuator piston movement is completed. In addition, by preventing excessive airflow into the engine, the emission of oxides of nitrogen pollutant into the atmosphere is reduced.
The traditional turbocharger actuator is a mechanical pneumatic device that senses boost pressure and opens the wastegate valve once a predetermined pressure is reached. The air pressure is sensed typically from either the inlet manifold or the compressor housing of the turbocharger. Inside the canister of the actuator the main components are a diaphragm, retaining cup and spring. The spring is designed to compress below the diaphragm. These two components are separated by the cup, attached to which is a rod that links to the pivoting wastegate.
Failures are extremely rare within the normal service life of the component but occasionally it can happen. The diaphragm can split and occasionally the rod or spring can fracture. The most common problem is the spring 'going weak' generally due to excessive heat and thus the wastegate is opened prematurely causing a drop in boost pressure. In service conditions the actuator's opening pressure can be easily checked against original tolerance by using one of the pieces of workshop equipment we can provide.
Standard 'genuine' replacement actuators are available for most applications. When not available as a separate component Turbo Dynamics will usually have a solution for you using one of our large range of exclusively built units or by accessing our bespoke database of interchangeable turbocharger parts. Turbo Dynamics also offers an exclusive range of uprated wastegate actuators to replace the standard item. These are constructed from the same quality components used by Garrett with the exception of the spring. The same high grade material and design techniques are used but the spring tensions are increased. This allows us to offer a huge range of opening pressures to suit high output applications.

Senate Investigates Kachikwu allegation against NNPC GMD
Senate on Wednesday resolved to set up ad-hoc Committee to probe the Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Baru Maikanti over allegation of awarding $25 billion contracts without due process.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu had in the leaked letter addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari accused Baru of single handely awarded $25 billion contract without due process.
However, Senate decision to probe allegations levied against Baru was as a result of the motion sponsored by Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Anyawu in his motion accused Baru of allocating almost all products to Duke Oil in addition to automatic inclusion of the firm in the lifting of Crude oil, Gas etc.
He added that the relationship between the NNPC and Duke Oil has helped to greatly stifle the growth of indigenous companies operating in the oil industry sector.
Anyawu in his prayer demanded for constitution of ad-hoc committee to investigate the policy introduced by the current GMD of allocating all products to Duke Oil and carryout holistic investigation into the activities of NNPC trading limited which was unanimously adopted.
However, Senator Kabiru Marafa came in through additional prayer requesting for investigation into award of contracts without due process levied against Baruch by the Minister of State for Petroleum.
After exhaustive debate on the bill, Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced the setting up seven man ad-hoc committee to investigate the issue.

While I can’t claim to be a fan of the Granblue Fantasy series, Developer Cygames is doing a fantastic job of making me want to know more about this JRPG series. We had the chance to play Granblue Fantasy Versus from Arc System Works at E3 2019, walking away impressed by the gameplay and fluid character animation.
As much fun as we had with the fighting game, the ARPG title Granblue Fantasy: Relink is what newcomers and hardcore fans really want to know about. Once co-developed by Platinum Games, GBF:Relink is an open-world ARPG focused on storyline that you can enjoy with up to three of your besties!
Here’s ten minutes of epic gameplay as our heroes battle skeletons, mini-dragons, and a massive dragon to end the quest. Fast-paced APRG gameplay with fantastic character designs? I’m down!
Need to see more single-player action? 15 minutes of greatness for you to watch and analyze.
And finally, the storyline trailer that most of us won’t be able to understand because, ya know..it’s in Japanese but that won’t stop us from enjoying it!! Another note: apparently you won’t have to have played the mobile game to enjoy the upcoming PS4 console exclusive Granblue Fantasy Relink.
While the team has a release date in mind they’re not ready to say anything just to be safe if there’s a sudden last minute delay.
Stay tuned for more Granblue Fantasy Versus and Granblue Fantasy Relink news!!

London-based events company Pollen has been placed in administration following not finding an investor. The demise of Pollen is just a few months after it secured $150 million (PS124) in capital.
The business, which been granted taxpayer-funded funding through the federal government’s Future Fund, had been looking for a buyer to purchase the entire company.
Lord Hammond will join the PS1bn Fintech Growth Fund
However, according to an email written by one of Pollen’s co-founders , and read through Sifted the its parent corporation StreetTeam Software Limited is “appointing administrators to restructure after we were not able to sell the company in its entirety”.
The revamp will see the college travel business separate from the events company that is geared towards consumers, Pollen.
The writing seemed to be in the sand for Pollen for several months. Sky News reported on Tuesday that the company was looking for buyers for several weeks following making an inquiry to Goldman Sachs to assist with the purchase.
On Wednesday morning on Wednesday, the Telegraph revealed that Pollen could not find a buyer, and that it was able to hire Kroll as a consultant to “administer its restructuring”.
The month of April saw Pollen has raised PS124m as part of the Series C funding. In spite of this, Pollen has been struggling to pay the operators, employees and refunds to customers who have cancelled events.
The company was founded in 2014 by the brothers Callum and Liam Negusfancey, Pollen collaborates with music and event organizers to market personalized experiences. The company stated that it has been affected by the Covid-19 ban worldwide and more recently, the economic slump.
The cancellation of the event has caused anger among those who complained about being not able to receive the money back.
UKTN has been not able to contact Pollen to discuss the matter.
Based on Crunchbase, Pollen has received an aggregate sum of $238.5m (PS197.3m) until now.
It’s not the only event platform having difficulties, as the competition Hopin cutting its headcount of employees by 29% in the last month.


Simiantics is a psy-trance project created by an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of synthesizers.
With influences ranging from early Hallucinogen, X-Dream, and Cosmosis to modern artists such as Ajja, Southwild, and Electrypnose, the Simiantics sound is always energetic and psychedelic. Several tracks on V/A releases have been unleashed, and collaborations with artists such as Ajja, Dirty Saffi, Tristan, Nigel, and Asimilon have also been concocted.
One of the primary aims of the Simiantics project has always been to create an interesting live act. After much experimentation, a setup consisting of Nintendo Wii remotes as well as other controllers has been devised, which allows live remixing and tweaking in order to respond to the crowd in a visible and entertaining manner.
Simiantics has performed at a number of major festivals including O.Z.O.R.A (Hungary), Mo:Dem (Croatia), Atman (Sri Lanka), Re:birth (Japan), Antaris (Germany), and countless other parties at locations around the world, including Goa, Thailand, New Zealand, UK, USA, Bali, Australia, Singapore, and Nepal, all to an overwhelmingly positive response.

Italian Serie A
Although Serie A is not the world's best league, it is most definitely the world's most competitive league. Of all of the elite football divisions Serie A arguably has the most teams with a chance of winning the league. In England and Spain it is often the same teams competing with one another each year, but in Italy any of around 6 teams are usually in contention to win the title. Also, top teams in Italy can go from being a powerhouse in to a struggling side within a short while. No league boasts this amount of unpredictability and this makes the Italian Serie A the most unmissable league in world football. With teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, the tough part will be deciding which jersey to wear.

Many game companies have developed a game feature that enables players to keep spending on the game long after its bought. These items are commonly referred to as loot boxes, and buying them is proven to be linked to problem gambling. Game developers staunchly deny this in the face of many countries and researchers saying they are crossing the line into gambling. The only difference between gambling and loot boxes that keeps all countries from throwing a gambling tax on them, is the lack of a cash payout. In all other aspects they operate the same way.
This year developers are trying a last ditch effort to get parents to shop for and purchase video games that are proven to be akin to gambling. Regulators are moving, but just not fast enough for parents to be well informed on the harmful additives in some popular games this holiday season.
You may have heard about loot boxes, or as they will be shown eventually on ads as “in-game purchases”. These are items with random outcomes that players are pressured to keep purchasing in a game, to keep up with other players. It might be cosmetic or give actual play advantage. A very important study has recently explained that purchasing any type is linked to problem gambling behavior.
PEGI and their US counterpart, the ESRB, have agreed to put an additional description on games with loot boxes, as in-game purchases but the process is still rolling out. Also the added description has nothing to do with the age rating applied.
Let’s take FIFA ’19 for example. FIFA ’19 is being prosecuted in Belgium for its gambling addictiveness. However PEGI rates it as PEGI 3, and has yet to add the in-game purchase descriptor. So parent will see a game suitable for ages 3 and up. The ESRB has tacked the descriptor on the game’s rating in the US, but retailers usually do not update display boxes as rating information changes, and many ads online predate the rating’s inclusion.
So who do you trust now to know what games are missing key information before buying games this year? Unfortunately, parent will have to do some homework when shopping for video games. The box or ad may not warn a purchaser about gambling features.
(Don’t) gift gambling this Christmas. Search online about a game, adding the term loot box to see if its included, or maybe even opt not to buy a video game as a gift this year.

' But San Francisco officials admitted that due to a soft policy on undocumented immigrants, they do not always comply with the requests - which in Sanchez's case left him out on the streets on the night of the murder.
However, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was never notified of that latest arrest before Steinle's slaying, NBC Bay Area reports.

Sedona AZ (July 23, 2021) – At around 4 p.m. on July 23, 2021, rain water inundated the city of Sedona’s El Camino Lift Station at 700 El Camino Rd. and overwhelmed the pump system, causing a sewage spill to occur. The spill was stopped within 30 minutes.
It is estimated approximately 1,500 gallons of untreated liquid effluent spilled into a nearby wash. That wash flows into Carroll Canyon Wash, which ultimately drains into Oak Creek near the Crescent Moon Ranch area, approximately 2.7 miles downstream. The untreated liquid effluent entering Oak Creek is highly diluted by the rain occurring at the time of the spill.
For context, the volume of effluent translates to approximately 0.11 cubic feet per second. For comparison, Oak Creek’s rate of flow during this rain event was just under 900 cubic feet per second.
Water quality samples will be done as soon as it’s safe to do so. The city expects to receive test results in approximately 24 hours after collecting the sample, and results will be sent to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and communicated with the public. Residents should use this information to determine if it’s safe to recreate in Oak Creek.
The immediately affected areas near Crescent Moon Ranch swimming area will have signage posted warning people of potentially high levels of E.coli. The city will hand-deliver information on this spill to residents near Crescent Moon Ranch with direct creek access located downstream from the spill.
This notice is being sent in compliance with the city of Sedona Wastewater Department’s Emergency Response Plan. Agencies including Red Rock State Park and Arizona Game and Fish will be notified of this spill.
The city will continue to keep the community informed as new information becomes available. For sewer spill emergencies, call the city’s sewer emergency hotline at (928) 203-5180.


Fresh from the South Coast of England and mainstays here on the site, The Bottom Line released their hilarious and eye opening cover of Taylor Swift's “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. The video sees Callum, Max, and Matt playing dress up in revealing women's clothing while letting it all hang out and having a grand ol' time at the expense of lung popping laughter from those watching the video. The guys don't seem to mind that the dresses reveal a lot of skin and tattoos, and that's definitely the guys nature where they just act their goofy selves and never take themselves too seriously, something that is a common trait for most pop-punk bands. This vid is definitely worthy of multiple replays over and over.
