There is little doubt that emissions from tourism must be reduced. A low carbon transition tends to be debated within the existing growth-centred and fossil fuel-driven political economy; this offers potentials but also sets limitations. The role of businesses in climate change is complex. From a political economy perspective, businesses are crucial actors in reducing emissions, simply through their decisions around products and operations. Yet a political economy approach also sees governance and business as interlinked. Businesses can influence governance, though they do not shape rules and norms in isolation. They are influenced by the dynamic regulatory, discursive, technological, and productive environment, in which they operate. This case study provides evidence from tour operators, which are addressing emissions from their products and operations, but also demonstrates that the context in which tourism businesses operate sets limitations to how much change may be implemented. The chapter argues that debates around a low carbon transition for tourism need to take into consideration the complexity of corporate, economic, environmental, political, and consumer interests and their links and interactions.

Diarrhoea is one of the world’s leading causes of child illness and death, and rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhoea.
Each year, rotavirus diarrhoea kills about 200,000 children in countries around the world and hospitalises hundreds of thousands more, despite the fact that safe, effective vaccines exist that can protect children from this disease.
Rotavirus is highly contagious, and every child is at risk. Infants and children under the age of 2 years face the greatest risk of infection. Rotavirus causes gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It primarily infects the small intestine, destroying the surface tissue and preventing the absorption of nutrients, causing diarrhoea.
Typical symptoms can range from mild, watery diarrhoea to severe diarrhoea with vomiting and fever.
While mild to moderate dehydration caused by rotavirus infections can be treated with oral rehydration therapy (ORT), children who develop severe dehydration often require intravenous fluids and hospitalisation. 2 out of every 5 diarrhoea-related hospitalisations among children under age 5 are caused by rotavirus. For those who survive, rotavirus infections can have a lasting impact.
It can take up to 2 months for the intestine to fully repair itself after a moderate to severe case of rotavirus. As the intestine repairs, children cannot absorb nutrients as well, which means that during crucial stages of development, they grow significantly less than children who have not been sick with rotavirus diarrhoea.
Children who suffer from an episode of moderate-to-severe diarrhoea — from infections like rotavirus — are weakened and malnourished. They are more susceptible to the next illness that strikes, and have a more than eight-fold increase in their risk of death from any cause in the 2-3 months following an episode of diarrhoea.
Treating rotavirus is expensive. In Bangladesh, treating just one episode of rotavirus can amount to nearly 85% of the average family’s monthly income.
Because children can become infected with rotavirus and other causes of diarrhoea more than once, preventing illness in the first place is critical.
Rotavirus vaccines save lives and improve health. There are two World Health Organisation (WHO) prequalified, orally administered rotavirus vaccines available.
Rotavirus vaccines are already saving lives and improving health in the countries where they are in use. Rotavirus vaccines have been shown to provide broad protection, even against strains not included in the vaccine. Rotavirus vaccines have also been shown to reduce hospitalisation from all-cause diarrhoea.
The benefits of vaccination are substantial and far exceed any low-level risk associated with vaccination. Not only does vaccination reduce the health burden of rotavirus, it also reduces the economic burden that families face when their children get sick.
WHO recommends that rotavirus vaccines be introduced into every country’s national immunisation programme, particularly those where diarrhoea is a leading cause of child death.
While at least 80 countries have introduced rotavirus vaccines nationally, more than 100 have not including Bangladesh.
Over 94 million infants lack access to rotavirus vaccines. Less than 25% of infants in Gavi-eligible countries currently have access to the vaccine. More must be done to reach children living in the places where diarrhoea, such as rotavirus, is a major public health issue. Millions of illnesses and tens of thousands of deaths could be prevented through rotavirus vaccination.

SPEAKER Pantaleon D. Alvarez on Wednesday said there will be no conscience vote among lawmakers on the controversial death-penalty bill at the House of Representatives.
Alvarez, in an interview, said House leaders and members of the ruling PDP-Laban who will vote against the reimposition of the capital punishment should resign.
According to the Speaker, the same rule will also apply on committee chairmen and vice chairmen at the Lower House.
Alvarez added that House leaders who will not support the Duterte administration and the House’s priority bill will be replaced.
“They are free to resign from the party. I will not force them, of course,” Alvarez said.
“[Ang mga] deputy speakers na hindi sasama doon sa administration bill, papalitan po natin. Kasi awkward na deputy speaker ka and then you don’t agree with the leadership,” he said.
Earlier, Alvarez said he has enough votes to approve the capital punishment in 30 days, as the so-called super majority will vote in favor of the death-penalty bill.
But lawmakers opposing the death- penalty bill continue to raise the issue of quorum as a dilatory tactic.
Under the death-penalty bill several crimes are punishable by death through hanging, firing squad or lethal injection, but Alvarez said the lower chamber may change the scope of the death-penalty bill as the House may focus only on illegal- drugs-related crimes.
Among the deputy speakers who are against the capital-punishment bill are Lakas Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of Pampanga, Liberal Party Rep. Romero S. Quimbo of Marikina, and PDP-Laban Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. of Camarines Sur.
“I spoke with President Duterte about that, it’s alright with him if I oppose the death penalty,” Arroyo said in an earlier news conference.
Drilon warns vs trade sanctions
SENATE President Pro Tempore Franklin M. Drilon warned against moves to restore death penalty for heinous crimes, voicing concerns it could trigger trade sanctions against the Philippines.
Drilon pointed out potential backlash, citing “clear international treaty obligations that we cannot reimpose the death penalty domestically.”
“Maraming repercussions iyan, as the Department of Justice said, it can always be cited, for purposes, say, denying us a preferential trade treatment in other countries,” Drilon said.
For instance, he cited the European Union (EU). “Mayroon tayong General System of Preference kung saan walang tariff ang ating mga produkto. Now, if we violate our international treaty, then it could be reviewed, and that can be the basis for withdrawing the benefits.”
Drilon further warned that, “more important, we will be isolated from the international community, because we cannot even be trusted to honor our treaty obligations. Malaking bagay po iyan sa international arena na mabansagan tayo na hindi tumutupad sa ating international commitments.”
He added: “Namatay po ang death penalty dahilan sa maliwanag naman na hindi natin puwedeng maibalik ’yung parusang pagpatay dahilan sa ating treaty commitment. Ang isang tratado po ay kasama sa ating batas, at iyan po ay ating ni-ratify dito sa Senado, ni-ratify ng Pangulo ng ating bansa, at sinang-ayunan ng 2/3 ng Senado, at iyan po ay naging part of the law of the land. Doon po ay bawal maibalik ang death penalty, kaya hindi ko alam kung paano i-justify na ipapasa ang death-penalty bill in the face of this clear international treaty obligation that we cannot impose the death penalty domestically.”

I’m planning a road trip later this summer and as I was shuffling through my deep catalog of music to create a playlist to accompany us along the way, the memories of my adolescence came back to me in soft ebbs. I’m still as avid a music fan at nearly 50 years as I was […]
Fronted by a spasmatic anorexic that surely must be the prodigal daughter of Iggy Pop, Starcrawler – a raucous and unfiltered band from LA – is here to take absolutely no prisoners in this retreating, almost apologetic, low watermark era in rock and roll history. For the last couple of years, corporate-bought websites – which […]
This might be a bold statement but it’s an easy one to assert: Becca Mancari is the new definition of roots rock. Her music reminds me why I love Americana music with its tinges of country-rock and rooted in poignant songwriting. All the while, she has the natural musical instinct to make the music enjoyable, fluid, […]
The Waterboys began in the early 80s but they didn’t appear on my radar until nearly a decade later when I traced the roots of former member Karl Wallinger to Mike Scott’s Irish / Scottish rock band. Over the course of their history, the Waterboys’ sound has run the gamut of rock, world, and Irish […]
Music took a hold of me early on; I would say some time in the mid-late 70s at the close of the Vietnam War, the dawn of disco, the muddled mediocrity of rock, and the dawn of punk. I loved (still do) the sprightly horn sound, spacey keyboards, overly dramatic sweeping string section, and the […]
Throughout the 1990s, there was a fusion of jazz, hip-hop, electronica, and house music which went by various monikers. Of course, the purists will punch holes through my generalizations but the music labels included nu jazz, acid jazz, deep house, and (the most unoriginal) jazztronica. The music mixed house beats with the swaggering improvisational spirit of […]
With a band name like the Shout Out Louds, there’s no doubt this Swedish outfit is headed straightaway for infectious indie pop, and they pull it off with supreme effect.

Weekly live bluegrass series returns to Red Sky Ranch today
WOLCOTT – Red Sky Ranch serves up music with soul as the second annual Bluegrass on the Green series kicks off today.Groove to live bluegrass on the outdoor patio of Summer Thyme Restaurant from 6-10 p.m. each Thursday through Aug. 31. On their way to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the Greencards kick off the series.Though the Greencards are steeped in the tradition of bluegrass, The Greencards weave influences as disparate as Bob Dylan, Newgrass Revival and Patty Griffin. Their willingness to color outside the lines has earned the band accolades from critics and fans alike. In their relatively short existence, they formed at the beginning of 2003, The Greencards have hauled in a Best New Band award at the 2004 Austin Music Awards and been nominated for Best New Emerging Talent at the 2004 Americana Music Awards. They were also selected to open all 30 dates of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson’s 2005 Summer tour.It all began in Austin, Texas, when Kym Warner (mandolin) and Carol Young (bass) met Eamon McLoughlin (fiddle) in a recording studio to work on a project for another artist. The connection was immediate and based on a shared love of traditional acoustic music. The trio decided to work together after jamming around and realizing they knew an inordinately large number of songs. They joined forces to try to crack the Austin music scene and landed a regular Sunday gig playing three-hour sets of bluegrass and country cover tunes. “You have to start with something,” says Warner. “We knew all these songs and wanted to play out so that’s what we did. Part of the reason we all moved to the States was because we didn’t have very many opportunities to play this kind of music in Australia and England.”
Ah yes, that’s the ironic part of the story – the band making distinctly American music is comprised of two Australians (Warner and Young) and a Brit (McLoughlin). Members’ passion was so strong they crossed oceans and continents to chase down the driving rhythm and high harmonies of bluegrass in the land where it was born. But, because of their backgrounds, they couldn’t help but infuse their brand of bluegrass with a different, more global energy.”We each have listened to so many kinds of things and that comes into the music we create,” says Warner. “I listen to a lot of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. But as a band, our sound is probably most influenced by New Grass Revival, Emmylou Harris and Alison Krauss.””When I was a kid I listened to Ricky Skaggs almost exclusively,” adds McLoughlin. “I really shunned pop music. As I grew up I realized how much of an influence Irish music was. My parents are Irish and I spend a lot of time there. I try to add some of that into what we do. As I got older, especially after I moved to America, I began listening to more English music-The Beatles, Richard Thompson. Maybe I’m getting hip in my old age.” All concerts are free and open to the public. Specialty bourbons, barbecue and more will be available for purchase. Summer Thyme restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating at the Guest Clubhouse.

Foresters tranquillised an adult wild tusker in a tea garden near Malbazar on Wednesday morning, but the animal died soon after its shift to the Gorumara National Park.
Sources said the elephant had strayed out of Apalchand forest and entered Nepuchapur tea estate. The foresters said they suspected the animal was ill and were waiting for post-mortem report to confirm the cause of the death.
“The elephant appeared to be sick as it was moving very slowly and halting regularly. It went on roaming in the plantation and also moved to adjoining areas like Nijambari and Uttar Golabari,” said a worker of Nepuchapur.
The animal had been taken to Gorumara on a truck.

Highways England, the government body charged with maintaining and operating roads across England, has issued a response to concerns over smart motorway safety.
Earlier this week, the UK’s Automobile Association revealed the existence of a 2016 Highways England report on smart highway safety, retrieved via a Freedom of Information request, which highlighted significant safety concerns over motorways on which the hard shoulder had been removed. The smart motorway safety report indicated troublingly high response times on stationary vehicles in motorway lanes, with vehicles which broke down on an All Lanes Running (ALR) motorway forced to wait an average of 17 minutes before the lane they were in was closed.
In its response, Highways England draws attention to the information on smart motorway safety available on its website; and notes that much of the data referenced in the report was collated three years ago, before a wider rollout of safety measures. The statement notes that, while many smart motorway schemes phase out the hard shoulder, smart motorways do have emergency areas – spaced a maximum of 1.5 miles (2.41km) apart – where a vehicle may stop relatively safely without disrupting the flow of traffic; and that stopping on the hard shoulder is not in itself particularly safe, with more than 100 people killed or injured on hard shoulders each year.
Chief Highway Engineer Mike Wilson said: “Motorways in this country are among the very safest roads in the world. Highways England would never carry out a major improvement scheme without being confident that we would maintain or enhance this position. Evidence indicates that smart motorways are helping to improve safety. The first nine of the latest generation of smart motorways have reduced casualty rates by more than 25%. Smart motorways are good for drivers, adding vital extra lanes to some of our busiest motorways and making journeys safer and more reliable. As with other roads, we monitor the safety performance of smart motorways and are rolling out enhancements to improve the road user experience.”

Botanists classify the coconut as a fibrous, one-seeded drupe. A drupe is a fruit that has a hard cover surrounding the seed, for example, peaches or olives.
The word coconut is confusing because it implies that it is a nut. A strictly defined nut is a one-seeded fruit that releases its seed when the outer covering decays or is digested by an animal. A coconut could be considered a nut, although it could also be considered a fruit or a seed.
The coconut has three layers: the exocarp, the mesocarp and the endocarp. By the time a coconut makes it to market, the exocarp and mesocarp have been removed, but they are not discarded. Every part of the coconut is used to produce not only food and drink but fiber and fuel as well.

East Devon planning review
Concerns that planners are not keeping councillors – and therefore the public – in the loop has prompted a review.
A report by East Devon District Council that planning officers were not keeping ward members informed and councillors needed to take part in the planning process more. It was suggested that councillors should be given a chance to comment on applications three days before a decision was made
Extra training would enable councillors to better access information, while free pre-application advice to householders should be promoted online.

Christian leaders are applauding U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron’s pledge to stop sending aid to countries that persecute Christians and ban homosexuality.
“When the UK is setting aid budgets and is in discussion with other governments, religious freedom – in particular the persecution of Christians – should always be highlighted and discussed,” said Neville Kyrke-Smith, director of Aid to the Church in Need's (ACN) U.K. office.
Cameron said the decision was a move to protect basic human rights worldwide.
"Britain is one of the premier aid givers in the world,” Cameron said to the BBC. “We want to see countries that receive our aid adhering to proper human rights.”
Up to 75 percent of the religious persecution in the world is against Christians, according to a recent report. In addition, more than 40 members of the British Commonwealth have laws banning homosexuality.
“ACN agrees that the persecution of homosexuals is totally unacceptable – as is the persecution of Christians and people of other faiths,” Kyrke-Smith said.
Cameron’s remarks were meant to spark the beginning of change to these two issues, the Prime Minister said.
"This is an issue where we are pushing for movement, we are prepared to put some money behind what we believe. But I'm afraid that you can't expect countries to change overnight,” Cameron said to the BBC.
Christians have come under attack in China, Iran, Burma, Egypt, Pakistan and other countries around the world.
It is unclear how the pledge will affect specific countries around the globe.
British aid to Pakistan was expected to double this year to 350 million British pounds, according to reports. But the country is at the center of a controversy over its persecution of Christians under a loosely defined blasphemy law.
At least 35 Christians have been killed since 1986 under the country’s blasphemy laws, according to reports.
It is unclear how much money the U.K. will withhold from Pakistan and other governments, since the issues are so widespread.
The first countries affected by the change could be Malawi, Uganda, Nigeria and Ghana, according to reports.
Christian leaders maintain that a good human rights’ record is imperative when choosing which countries to send aid to.
“If governments are responsible for persecution or are failing to take obvious steps to prevent it, their approach raises huge questions about whether they can be trusted to give help to the poorest and most needy in society,” Kyrke-Smith said.

The Police in Ogun State have arrested a couple, Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun and Salawa Oyenusi Ajalorun for allegedly kidnapping, killing and dismembering a 26-year-old lady, Oyindamola Adeyemi.
The couple was arrested alongside six others, namely: Lukman Oladele, Kayode Ibrahim, Bello Akeem, Alebiosu Adebayo, Fatai Rasheed and Fatai Jimoh for their roles in the alleged murder of the victim.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi confirmed the arrest of the suspects to journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital on Thursday.
According to Oyeyemi, the suspects were arrested on Wednesday in the Ijebu-Ode area of the state, following a report lodged at Obalende Divisional Headquarters; Ijebu-Ode by one Ojo Omolara.
Oyeyemi said the victim, a mother of two, left home on Wednesday December 28, 2022 and didn’t return home.
Oyeyemi disclosed that Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun, an herbalist and who the lover of the victim is also lured her to his house and allegedly killed her with the help of his friend, Lukman Oladele.


Molins chief executive resigns after troubled reign
Saturday 24 January 1998
However, Michael Orr, Molins' chairman, said the decision did not imply Mr Harrisson was responsible for the company's recent troubles. "We wouldn't seek to lay the blame for any of the problems we've experienced at his door," he said. "They are more a question of collective responsibility as well as external factors."
He said the resignation was down to "a difference in management style". Mr Harrisson will continue to be available to the company on a consultancy basis for the next three months.
Mr Harrisson, who was on a two-year contract earning pounds 160,000 a year, will receive a payoff worth about pounds 200,000. His share options are thought to be worthless.
Molins said Peter Grant, the finance director, will take on the chief executive's role "for the time being". However, he is also a candidate to fill the job permanently.
News of Mr Harrisson's departure prompted Molins shares to fall 12.5p to 270p, a five-year low. Brokers said the fall was prompted by fears that his departure was a sign that more bad news was on the way. But Mr Orr said the resignation had nothing to do with trading conditions.
The process of finding a replacement for Mr Harrisson has already begun, and a list of candidates has been drawn up. Analysts said a new face would reassure the City. "An outside appointment would be the best thing for Molins," one expert said. "But, more than anything, they need an appointment sooner rather than later."

CHENNAI: 'Rajavin Parvaiyile' (1995), in which Vijay and Ajith co-starred, is likely to get a re-release on January 6 ahead of the release of the most-anticipated clash of 'Thunivu' and 'Varisu'.
In response, the hashtag #RajavinParvaiyile has been trending on several platforms, including Twitter. The 1995 romantic drama film, directed by Janaki Soundar, features Vijay, Ajith, Indraja, and Vadivelu. The music for the film is composed by Ilayaraja.
Ajith starrer 'Thunivu' and Vijay starrer 'Varisu' , all set to hit the big screens for Pongal, will clash almost after eight years. The previous significant clash happened in 2014 when Veeram and Jilla released simultaneously.
While Ajith's heist thriller's trailer that dropped on the internet on December 31 shows the actor in a dark shade after a long time, Varisu's trailer is expected to release today at 5pm.

Women who take part in breast screening face a ‘60% lower risk of dying from the disease within a decade’
- Screening detects and treats cancers at an earlier stage, researchers say
- Women also have a 47% lower risk of death within 20 years after diagnosis
- Participation needs to improve, authors of the ‘groundbreaking’ study said
Women who take part in breast screening have a significantly greater benefit from treatments than those who are not screened, a study has found.
Those who chose to participate in an organised breast cancer screening programme had a 60 per cent lower risk of dying from the disease within 10 years after diagnosis, research led by Queen Mary University of London revealed.
The study, on more than 50,000 women, also found that 47 per cent lower risk of dying from breast cancer within 20 years after diagnosis.
Researchers said this benefit occurs because screening detects cancers at an earlier stage, meaning that they respond much better to treatment.
The research, published in the American Cancer Society’s peer-reviewed journal Cancer, was described as ‘groundbreaking’ by a leading charity.
Women who take part in breast screening have a 60% lower risk of breast cancer death in first 10 years, than those who are not screened, a study by Queen Mary University, London, has found
Women in England between the ages of 50 and 70 are currently automatically invited for breast cancer screening every three years, with their final invitation between their 68th and 71st birthday.
The screening programme is run by Public Health England and tests are carried out by NHS hospitals.
But the number of women taking up the invitation has fallen to the lowest level in a decade, with participation rates averaging at more than 70 per cent.
The numbers of participation varies dramatically across the country, with lower rates in poorer, inner-city areas.

Senior author Professor Stephen Duffy, of Queen Mary University of London, said: ‘Recent improvements in treatments have led to reduced deaths from breast cancer.
‘However, these new results demonstrate the vital role that screening also has to play, giving women a much greater benefit from modern treatments.
‘We need to ensure that participation in breast screening programmes improves, especially in socio-economically deprived areas.’
The study involved 52,438 women aged 40 to 69 years in the county of Dalarna, Sweden, during 39 years of the screening era (1977-2015).
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR BREAST CANCER SCREENING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
What is breast cancer screening?
Screening is a procedure which allows doctors to catch breast cancer while it is still in its infancy and therefore easier to treat.
It involves an X-ray test – known as a mammogram – to check for signs of cancer which are too small to see or feel.
The results of the mammogram will be sent to the women and her GP within two weeks. Around 5 per cent will be called back for further tests.
Who is eligible?
Any woman concerned that they might have breast cancer can see their GP and be referred for a screening.
But in recognition that the risk of getting breast cancer increases with age, all women aged between 50 and 70 who are registered with a GP should automatically be invited for screening every three years.
Women are first invited for screening between their 50th and 53rd birthday, although in some areas they are invited from age 47 as part of a trial.
How are they invited?
The screening process is overseen by Public Health England, which uses an IT system to send out invitations.
All patients received stage-specific treatment according to the latest national guidelines, irrespective of the mode of detection.
Previous studies have linked screenings to a 10-20 per cent less likely risk of death from breast cancer.
The investigators, led by Dr Laszlo Tabar, of Falun Central Hospital in Sweden, used a new method to improve the evaluation of the impact of organised mammography screening on death from breast cancer, by calculating the annual incidence of breast cancers causing death within 10 years and within 20 years after breast cancer diagnosis.
Experts agree that regular breast screening is beneficial in identifying breast cancer early, according to the NHS, and women are less likely to need a mastectomy or chemotherapy.
However, this year it was revealed 450,000 women were denied life-saving scans and up to 270 died early after a ‘colossal’ IT failure in the NHS lasting almost a decade.
The victims aged between 68 and 71 were never sent letters offering them a final routine breast screening because of an IT error lasting from 2009 until this year.
Around 150,000 of these women died and former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt admitted between 135 and 270 of them developed breast cancer that shortened their lives.
Women were reassured that they would receive their final invitations by the end of May 2018.
Rachel Rawson, clinical nurse specialist at Breast Cancer Care, said: ‘The shocking failings uncovered earlier this year in issuing invitations must not be allowed to happen again.
‘This groundbreaking study firmly underscores that being diagnosed by screening means longer lives for many, many women, as treatment is more effective the sooner breast cancer is detected.’
The NHS estimates that its screening programme saves about one life for every 200 women who are scanned for breast cancer, adding up to about 1,300 lives saved each year in the UK.
However, screening can be seen as causing unnecessary distress.
About three in every 200 women screened are diagnosed with a cancer that would never have become life-threatening, equating to about 4,000 women each year being offered unnecessary treatment.
Ms Rawson said: ‘It is crucial every eligible woman can count on the opportunity to attend screening, and those over 70 must be informed they can request mammograms if they choose.
‘Empowering women to make the right health choices for them with clear, balanced information should be an absolute priority.’
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BREAST CANCER?
Around 55,200 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year. One in eight women develop the disease during their lifetime.
The illness can cause a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue.
Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous, but it’s always best to have them checked by your doctor.
According to NHS Choices you should also see your GP if you notice any of the following:
- A change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
- Discharge from either of your nipples, which may be streaked with blood
- A lump or swelling in either of your armpits
- Dimpling on the skin of your breasts
- A rash on or around your nipple
- A change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast
Breast pain isn’t usually a symptom of breast cancer.

Residents living in Roosevelt County wishing to perform a controlled burn must have fire departments on stand-by as part of the ban that was kept intact by county commissioners at their meeting on Tuesday.
Local area fire departments are concerned with the issue of stand-by’s for a couple of reasons; the main reason being the issue of liability.
“It’s better if we don’t do (stand-bys) because that puts the liability on the fire department,” said Floyd Fire Department Chief Leland Terry. “If the fire does get out of hand and we can’t control it and something is burned, then we’d possibly be held liable.”
Terry added throughout the years it’s been recommended by the state fire marshal not to respond to stand-by calls.
Dora Fire Department Chief Paul Luscombe said he was in favor of the ban because he feels the county isn’t doing any better as far as moisture is concerned.
However, he’s unsure as to how the department will handle stand-by calls.
Luscombe has some of the same concerns as Terry but said he would rather respond to the call prior to it becoming an emergency instead of after it’s too late.
“If we can have some control over preventing it from being an emergency then that’s far better than the (potential) loss of property or livestock or anything else,” Luscombe said.
Another concern over the stand-by issue is the amount of time each call would require from the departments.
Portales Fire Department Chief Raul Muniz said they can’t respond to those calls mainly for that reason.
“It’s our position that we can’t stand-by while persons are burning and the reason we can’t do it is very simple, we don’t have the manpower or the revenue do it,” Muniz said.
Muniz mentioned residents can utilize the volunteer fire departments such as Floyd and Dora, however because they are volunteer, responding to every stand-by call can tax their resources.
“If we go to everybody that calls us to be there it may be a problem for us to even have time to be able to do it because we are all volunteers,” Terry said.
Roosevelt County Commissioner Gene Creighton said until there is enough regular rain in the county the ban will be in place. His own solution to stand-by calls is simple.
“They just don’t have to take them, if they can do it most of them would be happy to but if they can’t, if they’re busy or just can’t do it then it will just have to be put off,” Creighton said.
He added it’s not mandatory for the fire departments to respond to a stand-by call.

Alison Wenham has announced details of her first official role since stepping down as Worldwide Independent Network (WIN) chief executive last year.
Wenham, who won the Music Week Women In Music Outstanding Contribution award in 2016, has joined the board at artist development organisation Funnel Music as non-executive director.
Wenham co-founded both The Association Of independent Music (AIM) and WIN, serving as CEO at both organisations for two decades.
Wenham is to help develop a strategy for Funnel Music to build relationships with the global independent music community.
She joins CEO Tim Delaney, former V2 Records managing director David Steele and Funnel COO Joss Yerbury on the board. Music Glue founder Mark Meharry, former president of Sony Music International Rick Dobbis and Joe Romulus are also members.
Alison Wenham said, “Since stepping down from my full-time role at WIN last December I have had an opportunity to properly reflect on what the music industry is evolving into. The old models that, in a lot of cases, have traditionally seen artists treated like second class citizens are becoming obsolete, particularly in the independent music community which has always led the way in innovation, and there is a definite shift towards more equitable, partnership-based agreements.”
I'm looking forward to developing Funnel Music's global strategy
Wenham added: “I was intrigued and inspired by Funnel Music’s ‘Shared Outcome Agreement’ approach, which seemed to me a very pragmatic and, importantly, fair way of working with artists. I am excited about joining a company and a board that already has expertise and experience in abundance and looking forward to helping further develop their global strategy.”
Ric Yerbury, co-founder and executive chairman of Funnel Music said: “To have such a universally respected music industry figure as Alison join our board is a major coup for Funnel Music. As well as her experience of running high profile organisations such as AIM and WIN her unique understanding of and relationships with the global independent music community will give us an amazing insight into this sector.”
Funnel Music was founded by Yerbury and fellow industry veteran Alex Pilkington to address the need for long-term artist development. Centred around the ‘Shared Outcome Agreement’, the business incorporates key elements of rightsholder and artist services offerings. The model is aimed at reducing costs associated with artist development without losing access to services, experience and expertise.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the combined effects and relative importance of socio-cultural factors as well as parents' subjectively perceived and objectively assessed environment on time children spent vigorously playing outdoors.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted in Berne, Biel-Bienne, and Payerne (Switzerland) during the school year 2004/2005. Included 1345 parental questionnaires from children out of three age groups (6/7, 9/10, and 13/14 years). A total of 1081 (80%) provided a home address, which could be linked to environmental data using a geographic information system (GIS).
RESULTS: GIS-derived main street density in a buffer of 100 m around the home was inversely associated with time playing outdoors in adolescents and younger children, but only in more urbanized areas. In addition and independently of GIS-based main street density, parental concern about traffic safety was associated with less time playing outdoors in primary school children. Girls, adolescents, and children from the French speaking part of the country spent less time playing outdoors. A non-Swiss nationality and having younger siblings increased time playing vigorously outdoors in adolescents.
CONCLUSION: In addition to socio-cultural factors, parents' perceptions and objectively measured environmental factors were significantly associated with the time spent vigorously playing outdoors. These associations differed by age group.

Integrated Wellness is seeing MEN & WOMEN in Palmer & Anchorage for Hormone Health and Functional Medicine!
Dr. Elrod treats hormone imbalance and root causes of disease and health problems, and treat chronic disease and problems by addressing lifestyle modifications, diet, supplements, hormonal health, gut health, and more!
Most men and women over the age of 40 and frequently younger, experience a hormone imbalance. Over our lifetime, we are exposed to environmental and dietary toxins, which contribute to the natural decline of hormones as we age. In order to balance your hormones for optimal health and wellness, it is critical to be evaluated by a highly trained medical staff – including comprehensive lab testing and in depth initial questionnaires – prior to creating a personalized treatment plan.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from naturally occurring sources, such as yams and soy, and are designed to replicate the same chemical structure as the hormones that are produced naturally by our bodies. Based on your unique hormone levels, a bioidentical hormone regimen is specifically designed for you.
Bioidentical hormones are different from synthetic hormones as each treatment is specifically formulated for the individual patient.
Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
Persistent weight gain
Underlying hormonal imbalances can make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
Belly fat and loss of muscle mass
When your endocrine system is under stress there’s an underproduction of certain hormones and an overproduction of others (mainly cortisol). This makes your body store fat for future use, making an increase in belly fat a clue to adrenal fatigue.
One of the most noticeable symptoms of hormonal imbalance is low libido, which starts with disturbed sleep.
It isn’t normal to feel sluggish, scattered or mentally foggy.
Anxiety, irritability and depression
Anxiety and depression are clues that you may have a hormonal imbalance.
Insomnia and poor sleep patterns
Lack of sleep causes physical stress and increases cortisol levels, which in turn may affect hormonal balances.
For many women, night sweats and hot flashes are the first uncomfortable sign that something may need to be examined.
Gas, bloating and slow digestion are common hormonal problems that aren’t usually associated with hormonal imbalances.When you don’t have optimal digestion, your body losing nutrional benefits.
Common causes of cravings and excess eating are adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance, and other hormonal imbalances.

The 2018 HRW wheat harvest is winding down rapidly with the only states now harvesting being Montana (90% complete), Washington (90% complete) and Idaho (91% complete). Those 3 states continue to report very good yields, very good test weight and good protein. Overall averages in the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho are reporting current results through the Wheat Marketing Center and include, test weight 62.5 lb/bu (82.1 kg/hl), moisture 8.2%, total defects 0.5%, dockage 0.3%, protein 11.7%, TKW 34.5g and an average falling number of 366 sec.
In Montana the Grain Lab has not changed the information available from last week that overall the crop is averaging 63 lb/bu (82.8 kg/hl) and 12.6% protein. As was mentioned last week, HRW production in the eastern areas of Montana is extremely low as drought last fall (not unlike the previous 2 years) limited the number of planted acres.
There were only 19 new sample results to report this week, so kernel information has changed very little. Moisture dropped 0.2% from 11.3% to 11.1%, protein remained at 12.5% overall while test weight increased to 60.8 lb/bu (79.9 kg/hl) up from 60.7 lb/bu (79.8 kg/hl) and falling number decreased very slightly this week (372 sec) down from (375 sec) last week. Mill/dough/bake results are still very good with average flour yield now at (74.9%, 0.45 ash 14% mb), flour falling number 412 sec, farinograph (development time 5.3 min., stability 12.2 min.), alveograph, (W-value 271 10-4 J, 0.87 P/L ratio) and loaf volume (902 cc). All data contained herein are Unweighted averages.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - A judge from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has ruled that Entergy Corp. has violated its own Systems Agreement.
Judge John Dring, an administrative law judge said that the corporation has overcharged customers in four states.
Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood announced the ruling on Monday saying that Entergy needs to pay back its rate payers.
"A judge with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has now determined that Entergy has done just exactly what we've been saying that they've done," General Hood said.
Hood says Entergy has been selling lower rates to third parties for corporate profits rather than selling these rates to customers.
"Everybody knows that Entergy has been cheating Mississippi rate payers," General Hood said.
However, Entergy Mississippi Spokesperson Mara Hartmann says the company has been in compliance with all rules and regulations.
"We believe we've followed all the policies and procedures and have done everything appropriate," Hartmann said. "We've maintained that all along we've always been in compliance with our regulators, and we believe we are this time."
Hartmann says the judge's ruling is only an initial decision in a drawn out process.
"This isn't a final decision, this isn't a FERC decision, this is a decision by an administrative law judge that's looking at this. The whole FERC will need to review it."
In response to the judge's decision, Commissioner Brandon Pressley for the Mississippi Public Service Commission said in a statement:
"Having this order in hand, Entergy should immediately take steps to make these refunds and now put shareholders interest above the public interest by trying to delay this process."
Meantime, Entergy Mississippi says if FERC agrees with the judge's ruling, they will appeal it.
The entire investigation covers Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Texas with 2.7 million customers at stake.

It remains unclear whether antibody-dependent-enhancement (ADE) of dengue infection merely augments viral attachment and entry through Fcγ receptors or immune complex binding to Fcγ receptors triggers an intrinsic signaling cascade that changes the viral permissiveness of the cell. Using human dengue-immune sera and novel human monoclonal antibodies against dengue in combination with virologic and immunologic techniques, we found that ADE infection increased the proportion of infected primary human monocytes modestly from 0.2%±0.1% (no Ab) to 1.7%±1.6% (with Ab) but the total virus output markedly from 2±2 (×103)FFU to 120±153 (×103)FFU. However, this increased virus production was not associated with a reduced secretion of type I interferon or an elevated secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10. These results demonstrate that the regulation of virus production in ADE infection of primary human monocytes is more complex than previously appreciated.

Foo Fighters Deliver ‘Top 10 List’ + ‘Something From Nothing’ on ‘Letterman,’ Rock Chicago
It shall henceforth be known as "Foo Friday" as Foo Fighters enjoyed what is likely to be one of the most memorable days of their career. Oct. 17 brought a satisfying conclusion to the band's weeklong residency on 'Late Show With David Letterman,' the premiere of their 'Sonic Highways' series on HBO and concluded with a memorable webcast show from Chicago's Cubby Bear for Foo fans.
As with most late night shows, the group actually taped their appearance in advance of its airing. The group's final 'Late Show With David Letterman' appearance included a special Foo Fighters Top 10 delivered by the band as well as a performance of the new single 'Something From Nothing' featuring special guest Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. The 'Top 10' consisted of things Foo Fighters would like to say after spending a week at 'Late Show.' We won't give away the full list, but there is an especially humorous moment shared between guitarist Pat Smear and Letterman announcer Alan Kalter that's worth your look. As for the performance with Nielsen, it's an especially blistering rendition putting the perfect cap on the music week. The video footage, along with a recap video of the Foo Fighters' week on 'Letterman,' can be seen below.
The centerpiece of Friday was the debut of the band's 'Sonic Highways' series, which kicked off in Chicago. In the HBO episode, particular attention was paid to the city's legendary blues scene, with Buddy Guy serving as the primary interviewee, and the punk scene that launched bands such as Naked Raygun. We also learn that a barely teen Dave Grohl caught Naked Raygun with his cousin at Chicago's Cubby Bear and that played a big part in his musical growth. The other big part of the initial episode was a look at producer Steve Albini and his Chicago-based studio. Albini produced Nirvana's 'In Utero' disc. And while visiting Albini's studio, you get to see them lay down 'Something From Nothing' with Nielsen in attendance.
After the episode concluded, Grohl and his Foo Fighters cohorts brought it all together by revisiting the Cubby Bear, the site of his first punk show, for a webcast performance. The set featured guest appearances by Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, who reprised his guest spot on 'Something From Nothing' and rocked out 'Stiff Competition' and 'Surrender' with the band, and Naked Raygun singer Jeff Pezzati joining the band on 'Surf Combat.'
The evening also included a healthy dose of Foo Fighters standards, a few lesser-known cuts like 'Up in Arms' and 'Cold Day in the Sun' and a stellar cover of Rolling Stones' 'Miss You.' Check out a couple of clips and peruse the setlist provided below.
