ABBA The Museum celebrates the 40th anniversary of ABBA’s international breakthrough in the Eurovision Song Contest 1974. The museum invites the whole family to take part in new exhibits and experience a special tribute to ABBA fans through the premier performance of the museum's own choir: ABBA The Museum/The Choir.
On Sunday, April 6 - the day on which, 40 years ago, ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton - the museum will offer various activities for children and adults, but especially for ABBA fans. In addition to the exhibition and all of the interactive installations where visitors can go up and sing with the band members or virtually try on their stage costumes, the museum will also present some new ways to celebrate ABBA's victory in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterloo:
“We have new exhibits to unveil concerning Waterloo that I personally am very happy about,” says the museum’s curator Ingmarie Halling. “For example, we have a Viewmaster containing images from Brighton in 1974. As you click through the images you will listen to Benny Andersson read from the diary entry he wrote on that day in Brighton. We will even have brand new articles on display for the first time, like the silvery black platform shoes that Benny was wearing when ABBA won the Swedish Melodifestivalen with Waterloo.”
Visitors will also have the possibility, with the help of professionals, to crochet their own ABBA cap like the one worn by Agnetha Fältskog on that day in Brighton in 1974.
Guitar builder Göran Malmberg built the famous star-shaped guitar that Björn Ulvaeus used during the performance in Brighton in 1974. On Sunday, the museum has invited Göran to hold a master class in how to build a guitar. The museum is also offering an opportunity for those interested to order an exact replica of Björn’s “star” guitar. The star guitar is being produced in a limited edition under the supervision of Göran Malmberg and signed by both him and Björn Ulvaeus.
“Björn’s star guitar is a hallmark of Waterloo and an important symbol of the pop sensation, ABBA. We are extremely proud that the builder of that guitar will be on the premises. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to place dibs on your own numbered, limited edition copy of the star guitar - a memory for life,” says Mattias Hansson, CEO ABBA The Museum.
Just in time for the anniversary, Björn Ulvaeus has written a pop-saga: it is the tale of four young artists who became two couples in love, formed a pop band called ABBA and created music that touched the whole world. The story, which is aimed at children but even adults can appreciate, is illustrated by Ola Skogäng. The illustrations are filmed with Björn himself playing the role of the narrator and will premier at the museum on April 6.
The premier of the museum's own choir will also take place on April 6 when the singers will perform a special concert for the first time, under the direction of Karin Bäckström from Adolf Fredrik's Music School. The choir will sing several of ABBA's greatest hits such as Waterloo, Thank You For The Music and Chiquitita. The songs will be presented with newly composed choral arrangements by Göran Arnberg. Göran has worked for many years as Benny Andersson’s musical notator and arranger and is a member of the BAO (Benny Andersson’s Orchestra).
“Since we are not going to reunite for the 40th anniversary, I thought a choir singing ABBA would be exciting,” says Björn Ulvaeus. “A really good choir singing songs that Benny and I have written is a dream for us as authors.”
Choir singers from Sweden and all over the world have applied for the sought-after choir positions. Interest has been great, with applications coming in from over 50 countries.
The winner of the global competition; The Missing Member in which one international chorist could win a place in the choir and get the trip to Stockholm for free, was concluded recently. Ms Grace McCullum from Australia was selected the happy winner with the motivation; “ABBA has always held a very special place in Australians hearts, and I know I can bring passion all the way from Australia to ABBA The Museum/The Choir”. For the jubilee Grace is flown in from Hobart, Australia to participate in the performance.
Mattias Hansson adds:
“The story of ABBA is a story that touches the whole world. So it feels natural to allow people from all corners of the world to share their personal memories of ABBA and the songs. With the help of our competition The Missing Member, we are collecting stories through social media.”
To be guaranteed a spot at the choir's performance, visitors are adviced to have an admission ticket to the museum on April 6th between the hours of 10:00 and 14:00. For anyone who does not have a ticket for April 6th, entrance will be subject to availability. The choir will appear at 3 pm.

A man arrested on suspicion of trying to kill his live-in girlfriend by binding and gagging her and torching their apartment allegedly had a long history of abusing her, police said Tuesday.
Vinay Gandhi, 22, was being held without bail at Orange County Central Jail in a Monday morning fire in the apartment he shared with his fiancee, Hemangini Ladva, 21, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Richard J. Olson said.
He was taken to jail on suspicion of attempted murder and arson after firefighters found Ladva, her mouth and hands bound with thick packing tape and almost unconscious from smoke inhalation, Fullerton police Sgt. Dan Becera said.
Police said they expected to ask the district attorney's office to file felony charges against Gandhi this morning. If the district attorney agrees, Becera said, Gandhi could face an arraignment on charges of attempted murder and arson at North County Municipal Court in Fullerton later today.
Police investigators are trying to piece together a motive but think that Gandhi had "established a pattern of abusive behavior" toward Ladva, Becera said. The couple, both students at Cal State Fullerton who are in a three-year relationship, moved into the apartment seven months ago, he added.
Based on police interviews with the victim, "it appears there was some type of physical and mental abuse for a while," Becera said.
Firefighters were called to the 248-unit apartment complex in the 2400 block of Nutwood Avenue just before 8 a.m. Tuesday to put out a fire that started in the couple's dining room.
As firefighters burst through the apartment door, they found Ladva lying in the living room, trying to escape the thick smoke that was quickly filling the small apartment, Becera said.
Although bound, gagged and left in the dining area, Ladva managed to crawl to a phone and dial 911 before the fire consumed the single-bedroom unit, Becera said.
Working the packing tape off her mouth, Ladva kept in contact with the 911 operator while firefighters rushed to the scene and put out the blaze, Becera said.
She did not tell the operator that she had been bound and gagged, he added.
"Basically all she did was scream for help and say that the apartment was on fire," Becera said.
After firefighters rescued her, Ladva was treated for slight smoke inhalation, Becera said, and was later taken to an unidentified relative's house.
Becera said that at first, Ladva had been reluctant to describe what happened. But she later told investigators that she and her fiance had been arguing. Police believe that Gandhi, after allegedly binding her hands with tape, then poured fingernail polish remover on the floor and ignited the carpet. He then reportedly fled the scene.
Becera said investigators are awaiting results of various laboratory tests to determine the exact cause of the fire.

To that dishonest man who is an exception to my distrust.
Life once asked whether or not I wanted to jump off a cliff. As a response, I asked her where I would land. She just shrugged, implying that she, of course, could not reveal.
Usually, whenever Life offers such questions– those that possess too much uncertainty- I would hand her a firm and direct ‘no’. After all, who wants to risk being grappled by a terrifying unknown? Well, there may be some daredevils who would enlist themselves, but clearly, I am not one of them.
But for a reason that dimly lit inside my always-frightened head, I managed to say yes to Life; I jumped.
You see, Life herself is an uncertain creature. She would say yes when she means no, and no when she means yes. But one thing we all know is that she is not entirely merciless; she would sometimes offer the vaguest hint of what is to come through a wink, a subtle smile, or even through an inaudible whisper.
When she asked me about the cliff, she mouthed It’s time, or so I think. I can never be so sure whether I just hallucinated, or fell for her unnecessary tricks of vagueness. But with whatever it was that she did (or did not do), it caused a portion of my fears to be converted into light – a dim yet powerful one in this case. It illuminated a box of memories which was labelled Escapism. When I opened them under the faint light, all the stories of how I said no to the beautiful what-could-have-been’s flashed before my eyes. At that moment, I realized that it was Life’s way of saying that falling off that cliff is a journey I wouldn’t want to be stored together with all those missed chances.
Now, I am still falling deeper towards the uncertain.
And whether or not a terrifying unknown awaits to grapple me, I hold onto Life’s obscure hint:
It’s time, she said.

The Legacy of the New Forest
I’m standing on platform 2 at Brockenhurst train station in the
Forest, Hampshire. A mild scent of humid earth floats in the air
from the grove of oak, chestnut, sycamore, beech and hazel that has edged up to
the railway lines. The chorus of birdsong is dominated by the squawking and chattering
of a population of magpies. I check in my bag for my ticket. The last time I stood
on this platform I was laden with a rucksack and tent, thrilled to be going on
holiday with my friend Jane. That was thirty years ago and the station doesn’t
appear to have changed at all since then. Indeed, there’s a quaintness about it that I associate with early last century. Jane is with me today and she too
notices the apparent timelessness of this place. I look at her and see only the
features of my eighteen-year-old companion on the face of a woman whose adult life
I knew nothing about until our reunion this morning. She has travelled down
from the north of
to join me on a pilgrimage today, on a journey that pays homage to the sunshine-filled
holidays of our youth. England
My thoughts about our miraculous reunion are interrupted by yet another security announcement on the station tannoy. Momentarily, the birdsong ceases and I glance around at the half dozen or so travellers “loitering” on the platform, wondering how I might define suspicious activity and whether it would be suspicious enough for me to inform the police, as the tannoy urges.
has changed. Official obsession with terrorism is transforming this society
into a police state where citizens are regularly encouraged to inform on each
other. Trust is being replaced by a wariness that creeps just below the surface
of the English tendency toward reservation. England
At eighteen years old my reserves of trust were infinite. Three decades of life experience have depleted those reserves and I feel that loss now, standing in the place where I giggled excitedly with Jane in anticipation of what was up ahead, of our freedom. We travelled down from the industrial north each summer, escaping into a world where Nature was just a few footsteps away and where a rustic lifestyle still prevailed. Both of us were both passionate about the Wessex of Thomas Hardy; in it we were seeking a world more authentic than our 9 to 5 routine in a
city centre government office. But
we were also young and hoping for adventure. The Manchester New
Forest gave us both.
The train to groans to a standstill and hisses before the doors open to the accompaniment of repeated warning beeps. We board an almost empty carriage. Our station is Lymington Pier, the end of the line, and just two stops away. Now, as then, we cry with delight at the first sight of
New Forest ponies chewing unhurriedly
on the heath land grass and deer that vanish with a single bound into the
nearby hazel copse. Our conversation is pure nostalgia; nearly all our
sentences begin with “Do you remember the time that …” and are invariably followed
by prolonged laughter. Three decades-old photos we have brought with us prompt
the memories, but some remain elusive. I have a photo I took of Jane standing
by her bike, reading a map, but no recollection of that day. Today we are back
together again, returning with our memories to the locations where they
The station at Lymington Pier has to be unique in
Take a step down from the carriage and you are on the wooden pier-platform;
take a few more steps and you can lean over the railings and gaze down into the
sea. At the end of the pier, the Isle of White ferry waits with its bow door gaping,
ready to accept passengers bound for England .
Jane and I head inland, in search of Yarmouth South
Baddesley Road, which will take us to Norleywood, to
the youth hostel where we pitched our tent, the base camp for our daily
excursions. It’s early on Friday afternoon and this country road is quiet, so
quiet that we can hear the bees hum softly on the honeysuckle and foxglove in
the hedgerows. Horses whinny in the distance and a breeze flutters, giving us
momentary respite from the heat.
The road takes us past Winter’s Wood, Church Copse, and Otter’s Hill Copse. I still recall the January afternoon I sought out the ordinance survey map from the previous summer just to touch these names, willing myself to be far away from Hulme,
and Bury. After about twenty minutes walking, we come upon a large red brick
house with 18th century features, crowned by majestic turret-like chimneys.
We both remember it. Perhaps Hardy passed by here, by this very “Gatekeeper’s
Lodge” and it inspired him to create one of his many troubled characters. “You
were troubled too, Karen” Jane remarks, “even back then.”
At the crossroads we turn left into an even less-travelled road. A
stands at the
junction and Jane comments on the idyllic location. It is one of the very few
buildings in a landscape of unbroken greenery and it too is ancient, an ancient
primary school, the setting of what were possibly the happiest, unclouded years
of many generations’ lives. The road becomes even narrower once it winds around
to the right. On both sides there are pathways disappearing into forest glades that
beckon to be explored. Montessori
At “the splash” we pause on the bridge to take photos, posing in postures that match the ones in the snapshots I have in my bag. Then our memories fail us. Do we turn left or right after “the splash”? Jane raises her hands in surrender and so I suggest left. This takes us into the hamlet of Norleywood but no closer to our destination, the youth hostel. The homes we pass are a display of wealth; one or two of their owners eye us curiously as we stroll by. The single bus stop in the hamlet, under siege by encroaching privet and beech, gives us a clue to the location of the hostel. Beyond it stands the familiar large red brick house, but the height of the fence and the density of the hedge make it difficult to see into the extensive garden; the tall wooden gate does not offer a better view. We follow the hedge around into the adjoining unpaved lane. Toward the back there is another gate from where we can see the property. It’s definitely Norleywood Youth Hostel, or rather, was. The lawn remains just as when Jane and I camped there. I focus on the grass in the spot we always chose to pitch our tent, seeking some clue to the girl I was then. But memories are the only connection I have; they’ve brought me here and now I feel I’m a ghost.
“I think that’s a private house” a young woman smiles at us, while adjusting her position in the saddle. Her mount adjusts the position of the bit in its mouth. She doesn’t know anything about a youth hostel ever being in Norleywood,
“That must have been many years ago. I‘ve grown up here and for as long as I can remember that house has been privately owned.”
However, she does know where the East End Arms is and points us in the direction of a nearby bridle path that crosses the fields to the pub. We climb over the stile and follow the path through tall seeded grass studded with burrs. In the silence my thoughts dwell on our preparations in the tent for nights in the pub. Sponge rollers, spot concealer, eyeliner, lipstick, cork-soled wedgies and frantic efforts to smooth the creases from our denim skirts and gypsy-style tops preceded our unwieldy advance along this very bridle path and over the stile at the other end.
At eighteen, Jane and I caused a sensation among the East End Arms youth. For them we were exotic visitors from the North while they, for us, were the very rustics who populated the works of Thomas Hardy. In Pog, Peter, Ned and their friends we allowed ourselves to believe that we were reunited with the denizens of the woodland we had encountered in the
novels. The friendship lasted three summers and memories sparkle with midnight
strolls to a chorus of cricket chirping along the bridle path back to our tent,
and parties in barns at the end of labyrinthine country lanes. Wessex
The pub hasn’t changed at all. The exterior is identical and even the arrangement of furniture in the bar where we sipped numerous Babychams matches my recollections. On the wall Jane finds an explanation: a large press cutting recounts how Dire Straits guitarist John Illsley purchased the property in the 1990s and vowed to keep the bar intact, just as it was. And he did. But there is no sign of Pog, Ned or the others.
“We probably wouldn’t recognise them anyway, even if they did walk in the door now. They’re virtually old men,” says Jane.
I’d like to ask at the bar but the barmaid looks like she may not even have been born at the time we were flirting with the locals and, besides, I never learned “Pog’s” real name.
After our final trip to Norleywood a few letters were exchanged but contact faded as all our lives took different courses; Jane went to nursing school and I entered university, while agricultural college claimed some of our
End admirers. As for Pog, he was too attached to the forest to
leave it. I turn to Jane,
“Where is Pog now? What kind of life did that farmhand from another era end up having?”
Neither of us responds to my question and now we’ll never know.
As each holiday ended our hearts began to sink; and the train journey back to Manchester Picadilly was often a silent one. Each time I returned, my life in that grim city seemed even grimmer, and I’m convinced that the happiness, the sense of feeling supremely alive, we experienced in Norleywood led to our determination to initiate change. And both of us did. That is the lasting legacy of those summers in the

The Body Feels Weak And Nauseous?
Tonight .. nDok, I want to ask recently, my body feels weak with nausea, sometimes to the point of shaking, but the check is not pregnant. From my right hand to the shoulder, neck to the back of the head it hurts, from the hand to the shoulder sometimes it hurts like that, sometimes it hurts like being bitten by an ant, but in my right hand around the inner elbow there is a black spot like that It says a mole, no, but it is a little like it and around it there are small itches filled with water if you break it, on my left hand these itching also starts to appear. nAsk for a solution, why do you think this is it?
Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.
When viewed from the information you convey, the various complaints you experience may be caused by Herpes zoster, or commonly known as shingles. Herpes zoster is a disease that occurs due to the Varicella zoster virus, which previously caused chickenpox to reactivate and travel through nerve fibers from the brain and spinal cord to reach the skin. As a result, various complaints can arise, including:
Watery skin rash, this rash generally appears only on one side of the body limited to the area of the skin which is innervated by the affected nerve fibers only. The rash often causes itching, pain, tingling, numbness, or other uncomfortable sensations Muscle and joint aches Nausea, decreased appetite Headaches, dizziness Tiredness, fatigue easily Is sensitive to light, etc. In addition, there may also be complaints -Your complaint arises due to other triggers that are not always related, for example:
Causes of weakness, nausea, to shaking: anemia, dehydration, hypoglycemia, hypotension, viral or bacterial infection, dyspepsia Causes of hand, shoulder, neck, head pain: myalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, viral or bacterial infection Causes watery rash, which feels itchy on the hands : contact dermatitis, viral infections, mites, fungi, or other bacteria Considering the many possible triggers for your complaints, you should check with your doctor directly .. In-depth interviews, accompanied by a physical examination or supporting tests, such as a laboratory, doctors can do in order to identify the best treatment.
At this time, you should get plenty of rest, first reduce activities that are too draining so that your immune system returns to its prime. Drink more and eat nutritious foods, complete with vegetables, fruit, or milk to maintain your stamina. Always shower regularly and wear clean clothes to prevent rash and itching from spreading. You can first take paracetamol to relieve pain in your body and also sprinkle salicyl powder on the rashes on the itchy skin.
Hope it helps ..

Residents urged not to light bonfires
Residents across Dudley borough are urged to avoid lighting bonfires in their gardens during the coronavirus outbreak.
Dudley Council has seen an increase in the number of complaints regarding garden bonfires since the council suspended green waste collections in order to prioritise general waste and recycling collections.
Although bonfires are not banned in the borough, residents are asked to refrain from burning waste for the duration of the outbreak.
Burning waste causes smoke and unpleasant smells, which cause air pollution, but more importantly could have a serious impact on the health of neighbours, especially if they have conditions which puts them at a greater risk.
Councillor Nicolas Barlow, cabinet member for health and social care, said:
Now more than ever, we need to be considerate of our neighbours. With many of us confined to our homes, it is really important we access fresh air as much as possible whether through an open window or enjoying our gardens.
Garden fires can cause a real nuisance and could potentially impact on the wellbeing of someone who may have a health complication that you’re unaware of. At a time when our colleagues in the NHS are facing unprecedented pressures, we need to avoid behaviour and activity that could add to their workload.
Please think of others. We appeal to all residents to compost where they can or bag and store garden waste until our normal garden waste collections resume. We thank everyone for bearing with us as we navigate through these difficult times.
Dudley residents can order compost bins at a reduced rate via external companies. Further details can be found at https://www.dudleyrecycles.org.uk/

Quickly Change A Color
Use an Adjustment Layer to easily change a color in your photo, and then quickly change it back if things don’t work out.
Dave Cross is Senior Developer, Education and Curriculum for the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and is involved in all aspects of the training that is provided to NAPP members. Dave’s book “The Photoshop CS2 Help Desk” is now available on ScottKelbyBooks.com
I watched this, and started to edit an old photo of myself, just as an experimental piece. I wanted to change my eye to red, and my skin to a greyish color, basically transforming myself into a demon. I changed the eyes, and then I froze, unsure how to do a different color change for a different part. So I just made a new layer, just like the first.. And it worked wonderfully. My photo, as we speak, has red eyes, and the skin is being transformed. I may even change my teeth into a yellowish color.. (Gross, I know..) Thanks for the wonderful tips!
Also, insteand of using a paintbrush, or even the lasso tool, to fill in the areas with the new color, you could simply use the magic wand tool, select that area, and press Alt+Backspace (A trick I learned in the “Wall of Text” tutorial, the first I watched), and, viola! That area is simply and easily filled.
By the way, I only just started with photoshop 2 or maybe 3 days ago, and I’ve already learned all of this from your tutorials, and from improvising material from one, and applying it to another lesson. Thank you so much!
i have been wondering how to get this done. very simple and pretty damn handy!
thanks for your productions
i like Coreys tutorials more
Thank you much. It’s useful for me……

Aim: A bioclimatic analysis of the giant burrowing frog was conducted to determine if the northern and southern populations have distinct climatic profiles and to determine if the disjunction in the species records is a result of a climatically unsuitable area. Location: The study utilized records throughout the species range in south-eastern Australia. Methods: The bioclim package was used to examine the climatic envelope of the species, as well as envelopes for the southern and northern populations. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used in an attempt to refine the model. Results: The package predicted the observed gap between the populations as climatically suitable in all of the models. The northern populations were found in warmer and wetter sites than the southern populations. River valleys and coastal lowlands were generally unsuitable climatically for the species. Main conclusions: The area of the observed disjunction is climatically suitable for both the northern and southern populations. Large river valleys appear to have played a significant role in determining the distribution of the species. PCA was used successfully to alter the model, however further research is needed to determine which is the most accurate approach.

Banned Books Week is September 27–October 3!
Libraries everywhere will be showcasing books that have been censored at some point. Countries all over the world including America, have censored or banned certain books for various reasons. Libraries typically display books this week that are no longer censored to show the consequences of censorship.
Florida International University will be hosting an event called Flash Mob Read Out, which will occur Monday, September 28 at 4pm. Faculty, staff, and students participate in this event by reading their own favorite banned books out loud to groups. This will be followed by a discussion led by one of the school’s reference librarians. It looks like a fun event and I highly recommend it.
Florida International University
11200 SW 8th Street
Miami Dade College will host discussions about censorship this week lead by staff members and local writers. Here
is a list of events and who to contact for more information.
Museum will play a documentary about banned literature.
Banned Books Week on Twitter
It looks like the Miami International Book Fair will be here November 15-22, 2015!
I’m excited. Cindy Crawford (the model), and many new authors will be there to showcase their books. I can’t wait until they officially release the list of showcased authors.
Miami-Dade Public Library System will be represented at a tent and I highly recommend for people stop by. They usually give out bookmarks and a free guide to all of their free programs. I enjoy stopping by just to say ‘hi’ before moving on to the other exhibits. Some of the tents have beautiful paintings on display. A few artists loan their pieces to local libraries to display their work after the book fair ends. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

I enjoy creating library tutorials for users who are new to a library. Content for these videos could include Locating books in the library; Search Strategies for Online Articles; Library Databases; etc. Tutorials are a wonderful way in which libraries are able to advertise their services.
YouTube is a great resource for posting library tutorials.
I am currently facing issues with encouraging my school to display our tutorial videos more prominently so we could have more views. I look forward to our students viewing and enjoying these videos. I hope people outside of our school will be able to view and comment on these tutorial videos so we are able to receive feedback. It would be nice to have some ideas for future videos.


I'm looking for someone to develop me an autobuyer program for FIFA 13 Ultimate Team written in ColdFusion.
There have been a few already developed with examples available from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvAxK36NMIQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rNg5ViA9Do
All the coding you will need are in these 2 sites below..
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEOS AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE CODING SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE AUTOBUYER BEFORE BIDDING
All I need you to do is create the functions in a ColdFusion component that can then be called from a CFML page. All code must have english comments available to allow the code to be maintained.
I don't have much of a budget but it isn't a very big project and most, if not all, of the coding that is needed is provided already in PHP.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Consultation launches on draft decision for permit variation at Cwmfelinfach waste facility
A four-week public consultation has been launched by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) today (30 August) on a draft decision to vary an environmental permit for a waste facility at Nine Mile Point Industrial Estate in Caerphilly.
The application to vary the permit was submitted by Drumcastle Limited in November last year and proposes to remove the combustion of natural gas that is used for drying waste.
It also proposes the use of an activated carbon filter, which would help to reduce potential odour released from the site.
Although the site is not yet operational, Drumcastle Limited currently holds an environmental permit for the treatment of non-hazardous household, commercial and industrial waste to produce solid recovered and refuse derived fuel.
Following a public consultation held in April this year, NRW has now completed a thorough technical assessment and determination of the application.
Before a final decision is made, a second consultation is being held with local businesses and communities to provide them with the opportunity to review the draft decision document and submit any relevant information which may not have been considered.
The consultation will run for 4 weeks until 26 September.
Jon Goldsworthy Operations Manager for Natural Resources Wales said:
We know people have a range of views on the waste facility at Nine Mile Point Industrial Estate.
Providing businesses and communities with a platform to express and share these views is an important part of this process and we’re urging everyone with an interest in the proposed changes to take part in the consultation and have their say.
This is a variation to an existing permit, and we are confident the company can make the changes without adversely impacting on local people or the environment.
NRW is required to issue a permit variation if the applicant can show that the site will be operated to appropriate standards and all the legal requirements will be met.
The consultation launches on 30 August and will close on 26 September.
The application, supporting information and the consultation are available online: Consultation on draft decision for a permit variation at Nine Mile Point Waste Transfer Facility - Natural Resources Wales Citizen Space - Citizen Space (cyfoethnaturiol.cymru)

BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho judge says a school district failed to provide a free education to a Meridian family because it charged fees for certain classes.
Fourth District Judge Richard Greenwood only addressed the fees charged to Russell Joki's grandkids while they attended the West Ada School District, but the ruling could have implications statewide.
Joki originally filed the case in 2012 against dozens of public school districts and the state, noting that parents in districts across the state pay fees to the schools attended by their children to cover the cost of some elective classes, some school supplies and cartons of milk.
But in 2013 the case suffered a major blow when the judge dismissed all of the districts except for the school district where Joki's grandkids attend. Greenwood said Joki didn't have the standing to sue the other districts, and that if parents in those districts don't like the fees, they can take their own cases to small claims court.
This week, Greenwood agreed with Joki that the fees are unconstitutional. The judge also said his ruling is intended to be the end of the case, though either side could seek an appeal.
"The question here is whether the defendant is providing a general, thorough and free education to Peyton Joki," Greenwood said Monday, referring to a grandson of Joki's who has since graduated from high school. "The court concludes it is not."
In his lawsuit, Joki said two of his grandkids were charged fees to register for kindergarten, for supplies and for milk, and that another grandchild was charged fees to take chemistry, art and sports medicine classes as well as for junior class dues.
"What a family should not be forced to choose is whether one child may take advanced placement history or another take heavy duty diesel repair when they cannot afford both," Greenwood wrote. "Nor should students or parents be required to purchase their education on the installment plan."
Greenwood also rejected the school district's claim that the fees were valid because families could apply for a waiver.
"Nor should students or parents be required to seek charity, which may or may not be granted, to enable a child to take a class offered by a school district for credit toward graduation," the judge wrote.
West Ada School District Spokesman Eric Exline said the school board will have to decide how the ruling will impact policy and whether or not to appeal the case.

Surrounded by a group of 40 supporters at Bright Eye Brewing in North Kamloops on Monday morning (June 27), Katie Neustaeter announced her intention to run for council in this fall’s civic election.
Neustaeter adds her name to a growing list of candidates, with several incumbents on council having announced they will not seek re-election.
Neustaeter, 40, is director of communications for United Way British Columbia and a former broadcast media personality.
Neustaeter’s press conference came with a Parks and Recreation sitcom reference. Neustaeter’s husband, Joel, played Gloria Estefan’s “Get On Your Feet” after his wife’s speech. It was the song played during fictional politician and eternal optimist Leslie Knope’s campaign announcement on Parks and Recreation and elicited some laughs.
Neustaeter has volunteered for the city’s social planning council and was previously a support worker for School District 73. She has spent most of her life in Kamloops and cited her passion for the city and its residents.
Neustaeter said she decided to make her announcement at Bright Eye Brewing because it is an example of where the city is at right now — a popular local business started by friends and one that was required to pivot during the COVID-19 pandemic, surrounded by redevelopment and located on a poverty-stricken corridor.
Neustaeter noted challenges, such as environmental extremes and breakdown in civil discourse. If elected, she said she would commit to affordability, accountability and equitability and would bring understanding of complex financial oversight, crisis management, organizational leadership, volunteerism and community roots.
“No one will be more committed to this community than I am,” said Neustaeter, who is the daughter of former BC Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger. As for whether she caught the political bug from her dad, she said: “I think that I learned a lot from watching that experience and all of those years of public service. I would say both of my parents were very passionate about caring for people.”
Alix Dolson of the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre is managing Neustaeter’s campaign.
“I think that there’s just so much polarization and it’s really hard to find a candidate that has the experience in community, in the non-profit-sector, in the business sector, in all of these intersecting pieces that are necessary for a successful community to thrive — and Katie is that person,” Dolson told KTW.
Also in attendance on Monday were former city councillor Tina Lange, former KTW and CFJC media personality Tara Holmes and Arpa Investment partner Joshua Knaak.
“She is very passionate about the community,” Knaak told KTW. “She’s been involved in a wide variety of things, she’s got context as a resident, as a director for not-for-profit, understands business. She just brings well-rounded perspective.”
Husband Joel Neustaeter added: “Katie would be great on council because, first and foremost, she loves people and she loves the city of Kamloops and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to help make people’s lives, who live in this great community, better and she’s got great experience being in non-profit, her volunteer work, time in media. She’s been exposed to many facets of the community, on the development side and the social issues side, as well.”

Here's what you'll need:
1/4 cup of Kid's Bath Soap
1 tablespoon of Cornstarch
2-4 drops of food coloring
Small cups or a plastic ice cube tray
See that big tupperware container? Yeah, that last name on it isn't mine - it's my best friends'. It's from the chicken noodle soup that she made for me whenever I had a baby...my first baby to be exact...almost 5 years ago. I just loved that soup so much I wanted to keep her favorite tupperware container forever so that I would never forget her. Honestly, I just don't want to give it back. I love it's size and I can't find that size anywhere, so if you're my best friend and you're reading this...you're never getting your tupperware back.
Okay, now back to the soap. I used the measurements above for each color. Meaning that I made 3 seperate batches. One for red, one for yellow and one for blue. Sure, I could've used green and purple food coloring to make 2 more, but instead I decided to be a teacher today and talk about how mixing certain colors make other colors. And when we did our first color mix of red and yellow to make orange - he lit up like a Christmas tree. He'd seen it on Barney but had never done it himself. For the red, it took 4 drops of food coloring, the yellow was 2 and the blue was 3. Of all the things in life you need to learn - I think mixing colors and making new ones are at the top of the list of "The Most Important Things You Should Know". No, that's not a real book that I know of. I'm sure some of you will go to Amazon.com and tell me - but if not, let's write one...all of us. I'll invite you over for coffee and we'll write our own book!
Oh, soap, that's right. As you can see in the picture below is our completed soaps. I put them in the tupperware so that I could put a few paintbrushes in and store it in the bathroom. Btw, if you're using little dixie cups like me, double up so they don't get flimsy on you.
Let me know what you think - enjoy!

Golden Gate does not meet admissions standard, says ABA accreditation committee
Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco is “significantly out of compliance” with an accreditation standard requiring that schools admit candidates who appear capable of finishing law school and passing a bar exam, according to a letter released by the American Bar Association's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar.
The accreditation committee found that Golden Gate was not in compliance with Standards 501(b), or Interpretations 501-1, 501-2 and 501-3. Interpretation 501-1 deals with academic attrition and an incoming classes’ academic credentials, while 501-2 focuses on admissions policies and practices and 501-3 states that a law school with a cumulative nontransfer attrition rate higher than 20 percent is not in compliance with Standard 501.
The law school’s Standard 509 Information Report for 2017 states that 30.5 percent of Golden Gate’s first-year class left the school through non-academic attrition. The school’s median LSAT score is listed as 148, and the median GPA is 3.10.
Of 88 Golden Gate graduates who took a bar exam for the first time in 2017, there was a 48.86 percent pass rate, according to data released by the ABA in March.
Anthony Niedwiecki, dean of the law school, told the ABA Journal since he stepped into the position last August, they have “increased the credentials” of incoming students, and the first-time bar passage rate has increased by 20 percentage points between the July 2016 exam and the July 2017 exam.
“We have also been aggressive in recruiting students with excellent credentials, with the goal of increasing our median LSAT by two points,” he wrote in an email.
The letter from the ABA states that Golden Gate has been asked to submit a report to the accreditation committee by Jan. 15, 2019, and appear before the committee in May 2019. If the report demonstrates compliance with the admissions standard, the hearing may be canceled, the letter states.
Updated April 11 at 2:44 pm to include statement from Anthony Niedwiecki.
