For the past 100 years, private vehicles have come to dominate the U.S. travel landscape in most cities, but how we access them had changed little until about 2013. This year coincides with the advent of the sharing economy, which introduced not only a variety of new ways to share vehicles and rides in vehicles, but also the sharing of other modes, including bikes and scooters. The sharing economy created a tipping point for travel markets, which is likely to experience another tipping point when autonomous options become widely available.
Part of the private market strategy to increase demand for new mobility products and services includes making vehicle travel more convenient at a lower cost through autonomy. There is no guarantee that the private market will also deliver a high level of shared or pooled rides, especially if travelers place high values on privacy and vehicle choice.
Are we using the right metrics?
Putting all of this together suggests that focusing on congestion as a problem may not provide a complete picture for transportation analysis. Evolving our metrics to more accurately define transportation problems and better account for capacity, emissions, and energy efficiency will likely be necessary for the next 100 years. While we generally understand there are greater efficiency benefits in both space and emissions for shared modes, our transportation plans rarely measure relevant metrics or display efficiency results in the most meaningful way for the public and decision makers.
In a recent study in Sacramento, California, we compared capacity utilization (during the peak hour and peak direction) based on available seats across a screen line that included local bus, commuter bus, regional rail, light rail, and freeway lanes. While seat utilization is generally low across all the modes except for commuter bus, the available transit only has a few hundred empty seats.
Even if every transit seat was full, substantial congestion would remain for the freeway lanes. With over 40,000 private vehicle seats empty in the peak hour, peak direction and over 1,000,000 empty seats through the entire day, the question arises: Do solutions exist that would fill the existing seats and avoid the expensive cost and environmental impacts of adding more inefficient lanes?
Can we fill more seats?
Exploring this new question requires the analysts to diagnose the problem – Why are users not sharing rides? What barriers or constraints exist? Can changes be made to fill some of these seats?
As indicated in the study results, filling these seats is a more complex problem; one requiring behavioral science and economic solutions that influence the price of travel or the convenience of matching rides. Without considering these solutions, a false choice is commonly presented to decision makers. The alternatives are either the no project choice or a roadway capacity expansion alternative that will add more lanes. Alternatives that likely would better manage the mismatch between supply and demand are not included.
Please contact us if you would like more information on evolving transportation metrics and expanding the range of solutions that can effectively reduce congestion, VMT, and emissions.

NEW YORK(Reuters) – General Electric Co (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Thursday it was on track to generate more than $1 billion in revenue this year from its industrial data-analysis business, and plans to make its software platform broadly available next year.
GE is making a big bet on what it calls the “Industrial Internet,” in which the company harnesses data from large industrial machines, such as power-generating turbines and jet engines, to yield productivity, efficiency and other improvements for customers.
Oct 6 (Reuters) – General Electric Co on Monday named
its top deal-making executive as head of its healthcare
business, saying that the unit’s prior chief is leaving the
The shakeup atop one of the company’s largest businesses is
the latest high-level management change at GE, as Chief
Executive Officer Jeff Immelt seeks increasingly to reshape the
U.S. conglomerate around industrial manufacturing and simplify
the sprawling company’s operations.
Oct 2 (Reuters) – United Technologies Corp’s Pratt &
Whitney unit on Thursday named a new head of its commercial
engines division in the midst of a crucial launch of a
commercial jet engine.
Pratt appointed Gregory Gernhardt as president of Pratt &
Whitney Commercial Engines, effective immediately. He replaces
David Brantner, who was named to the commercial engine
leadership post in June 2013.
Oct 1 (Reuters) – General Electric Co has agreed to
conduct a study of shoreline contamination of New York’s Hudson
River, the company’s latest step in an extensive clean-up effort
of toxic chemicals it dumped into the waterway decades ago.
The study will cost GE an estimated $20.5 million, according
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which announced the
agreement on Wednesday. It will evaluate floodplains in a
40-mile stretch of the upper Hudson River, and will develop
New York (Reuters) – ADT Corp (ADT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) dominates sales of home security monitoring in the United States, its shares are up 27 percent since March and the size of its business market is tripling, as a non-compete agreement with its former parent expired this week.
Yet, investors have shorted more than 20 percent of ADT’s shares, betting that despite the company’s recent performance and widely known brand name, it will be crushed by competition from telecommunications companies and the rise of home-networking with web-enabled cameras and sensors that can send alerts to smartphones.
(Reuters) – General Electric Co (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Monday it has won an order worth more than $500 million to provide power-generating equipment to U.S.-based Exelon Corp (EXC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), including four of GE’s highest efficiency gas turbines.
Exelon said it was planning to build two combined-cycle gas turbine units in Texas using the GE technology.
(Reuters) – U.S. manufacturer United Technologies Corp (UTX.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is looking for large acquisitions, but does not see a wealth of opportunities with the soaring stock market driving up prices, the company’s chief financial officer said on Tuesday.
“We continue to look for opportunities to do large-scale M&A,” United Technologies Chief Financial Officer Greg Hayes told an investor conference. “At $65 billion (in annual revenue), you have got to do bigger deals to move the needle.”
(Reuters) – U.S. chief executive officers are gloomier about their plans for hiring and capital expenditures over the next six months, and are more wary about their sales prospects, according to a quarterly survey from the Business Roundtable released on Tuesday.
The CEOs’ hiring plans were particularly weaker, with 34 percent expecting U.S. employment to increase in the next six months, down from 43 percent in the Business Roundtable’s second-quarter survey. Twenty percent expect their employment to decrease in the next six months, compared with 14 percent in the prior survey.
(Reuters) – General Electric Co (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) avoided using a geared design for its new engine for narrowbody jets because of concerns about weight and reliability, said a top GE executive on Monday as it battles with rival Pratt & Whitney for billions of dollars in engine orders.
Pratt, part of United Technologies Corp (UTX.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), developed a geared turbofan that relies on a gearbox and lets the front fan operate at a different speed than the rest of the engine, while on GE’s traditionally configured engines the fans run at the same speed.

Vertical farming—indoor food production that doesn’t rely on pricey farmland—is no longer confined to research laboratories and non-profit community projects. Urban Barns, based in Montreal, opened a facility in June where it grows lettuce, kale and assorted micro-greens for use in local restaurants. The plants are arrayed on vertical conveyor belts programmed to move automatically, ensuring the vegetables receive enough water, nutrients and light from custom LEDs.
The process, according to CEO Richard Groome, emits less carbon dioxide and consumes less water than traditional farming. This month, Urban Barns starts shipping to a handful of grocery stores in New York. By stretching upwards, it also aims to grow 300 heads of lettuce per square foot in the near future. (A typical farm grows two.) “We think this is truly a revolution,” Groome says.

There was a wide range of roles available and it was not all about just being a farmer or directly involved in farming. The jobs available were "phenomenal'', she said.
North Otago-based Ms Macgregor, who works for Ravensdown, was brought up on a sheep and beef farm.
While she might have taken it for granted at the time, looking back, she felt very fortunate to have had that rural upbringing and its associated lifestyle, she said.
She initially headed to the University of Otago to study health sciences but found it was not her thing, and "fell into'' a science degree.
That led to a job with Ravensdown and she was now in her 14th year with the company.
Her first job was in the King Country and she shifted to Taumarunui, which was a great opportunity to see another part of New Zealand.
She spent seven years in that Taumarunui-Central Plateau area, working in the field, followed by a role in Dunedin, managing the Otago-Southland team.
That office role meant she learned a lot and she enjoyed it but it was not really her thing, she said.
Her father Grant was looking to slow down and she returned to North Otago three years ago, to get back in the field with Ravensdown.
As senior agri-manager, she had a client base of about 70 and her work was varied. She had gone part-time in the last year.
"It's not an office job; I think that's the appeal. You're out and about doing stuff and working with farmers. Farmers are pretty awesome,'' she said.
Her area was mostly North Otago, but also included Waikouaiti and the Hakataramea Valley, and it included a good mix of sheep and beef, dairy and cropping farmers.
Two years ago, she started leasing her father's 123ha farm, which was "almost urban farming'' on the northern outskirts of Oamaru.
From the top, there were views of the Kakanui Mountains and along the coastline.
"It's amazing. I'm pretty lucky,'' she said.
She was fortunate to work with "awesome'' farmers.
While her job was to go to their properties with a job to do, in the process she probably learned more, she said.
"You're learning from people that area really good at what they do.''.
And even while dairy farming was totally different from her sheep and beef operation, she could still learn from her dairy farmer clients.
The farm included 54ha of K-line irrigation which provided some drought-proofing which, on a small farm, was important, she said.
Her father still helped out on the farm, as did her partner Paul.
The couple live on a farm at Kauru Hill, near Maheno.
In 2013, Ravensdown launched an environmental analysis and planning service, in the wake of increasing demands on farmers to meet environmental standards and regional regulatory requirements.
That had been "booming'', while the company's agronomy side had also been growing, she said.
Farms were businesses and it was sometimes scary as to what those environmental standards and requirements meant for their businesses, how it was going to impact them and what they had to do.
So it was farmers getting their heads around the rules and what it meant for them. Ravensdown staff were getting a lot more active in that space.
There was great variety at Ravensdown. If the environmental work appealed, then you could go that way or, alternatively, follow the production side, she said.
Outside work, Ms Macgregor was a sports lover, particularly netball.
"I'm relatively competitive with most things, not that I have to win everything - I enjoy the challenge,'' she said.

Amy Hetherington moved to the Territory when her boyfriend, now husband, relocated
“Now they’re all living here, Territory Day is a symbol of our family being in one place together and calling this place home.”
Amy Hetherington was more than a little miffed when her then boyfriend, an engineer, got offered a career opportunity to relocate to Darwin and work for INPEX.
“I was a little resentful that it was his work opportunity and not mine,” Amy said. She was an arts student at the time.
But the move from Albany in Western Australia to the Top End – in a 4WD – turned out to be the best thing for Amy, now 30.
“Even though everything went wrong on that trip in terms of the car – flat tyres and blown fuses – we didn’t fight and I realised if we could make a go of it on that journey we could make anything work,” she said.
Since their eventful road trip nearly 10 years ago, Amy’s career has gone from strength to strength.
“I found my feet in the Territory,” she said. “For the first few months I threw myself into volunteering for different organisations. From there I met a lot of people and was able to try out new things when they presented themselves. You got to give a little before you take.”
The adventure still continues for Amy, who now runs her own PR, social media and public speaking business, Amiable Communications. She has also become a comedy favourite with sold-out tours across the Territory and Australia.
“The opportunities here are endless,” she said. “Each time I said ‘yes’ something good would happen. Many of the things I’ve done were not even on my radar, like doing stand-up, but being in the Territory taught me how to step out of my comfort zone.”
In 2017, Amy married her long-term partner Paul Brandis. They bought a home, have a dog called Tully, and hope to raise their own family here.
Amy even persuaded her parents and sister, Erin, to move up to Darwin as well.
“Dad’s birthday is on Territory Day. So he, Mum, and my sister would all come to Darwin to celebrate. It was like our family day,” she said. “Now they’re all living here, Territory Day is a symbol of our family being in one place together and calling this place home. I feel like I’m finally getting closer and closer to becoming a Territorian.”

You are investigating the evolution of annual mean temperatures at three different locations (weather stations). You want to investigate if the evolution of temperatures at each location over time already show a trend toward a future climate as we would see it under emission scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.
Use the station data for all three stations you worked with during the exercise phase of this course. Additionally, you will need to download the CMIP5 simulation results. Download links are provided in class.
Use the climate model simulations you are provided with to construct models (PDFs) for a modern climate (AMIP), a climate under emission scenario RCP4.5, and a climate under emission scenario RCP8.5. Apply Bayes theorem to categorise the measured data into one of the three climates, and perform these calculations for each station time step. A visualisation of the resulting time series of posterior probabilities can be used to answer the project’s questions.

A person who emphasizes the motivation function of grades will evaluate the quality of grades differently from a person who puts emphasis on the allocation function. This example illustrates that the question of how good grades fulfill their functions cannot be answered by empirical studies alone but that the answer depends on ideological points of view. Indicators of Academic Achievement Much research has been devoted to the question of whether teachers’ grades actually measure students’ performance.
Because most of the underlying research uses designs that do not allow for unanimous causal interpretations, these factors are called ‘predictors’ rather than determinants or influences of academic achievement. Individual Student Characteristics Individual student characteristics are by far the most important predictors of differences in academic achievement. Taken together, individual characteristics such intelligence, motivation, and personality explain about half of the differences in scholastic performance.
Therefore, a plausible explanation for the association between high-stakes testing and student achievement is that nations more concerned with the quality of education make more use of high-stakes tests. The last reason might be that the use of high-stakes tests trains students to do better on standardized achievement tests as used in international scholastic achievement studies. For example, the typical type of tasks and answering formats in high-stakes tests and standardized achievement tests are very similar, so that regularly taking high-stakes tests at school will train students to do better on standardized achievement tests.

Care home plans for the 'Rolls Royce' of facilities in Flitwick get the green light
and live on Freeview channel 276
Work could start on the 'Rolls Royce' of care home facilities in Flitwick this autumn, if preparations can be finished on other aspects of the site in time.
The project is part of Central Bedfordshire Council's (CBC) programme to deliver improved specialist accommodation for older people and is expected to take two years to complete.
It will provide a residential care home with 72 ensuite rooms and a private garden, and an eight-bedroom short breaks premises, according to the local authority.
"This includes a range of shared facilities co-located with the care home for adults with learning and/or physical disabilities," CBC said.
"There's also an independent living scheme consisting of 88 one-bed and two-bedroom self-contained apartments for the over 55s.
"The scheme will have private recreational space, with shared community facilities, as well as a lounge and roof gardens for residents.
"A café, hair salon, function rooms and dedicated area for use by health professionals will be provided."
Planning officer Stuart Kemp described it as hybrid plans on the former Flitwick Leisure Centre site in Steppingley Road.
Part of the project is in outline and the remainder at the full application stage, he told the council's development control committee on Wednesday, May 5.
The care home will serve as a replacement for Ferndale Residential Home in Easton Road, which was approved for closure by the council's executive in December 2019.
That process could take around three years to complete, it was explained at that time.
"The extra care housing has a link through to the town's new leisure centre, and consists of 55 one-bed and 33 two bedroom apartments," explained CBC.
"It has access to care 24/7, communal informal meeting spaces, a secure outdoor space and private lounge.
"There are 106 parking spaces, with some extra for visitors, while the apartments will all be affordable housing, half for social rent and half for shared ownership.
"They will be designed for accessibility and to be easily adaptable to changing needs.
"Detailed proposals for bungalows and apartments for those wanting something smaller and more manageable on part of the site is expected at a later date," added the council.
There were four objections and four comments made, said a report to the committee.
Opponents referred to it as "overdevelopment of the site", calling it "an outdated model" and "likely to dominate nearby housing".
They remarked that "older residents would prefer support in their own homes".
But one comment asked for "more of this type of accommodation" and another suggested it was "good to see PV solar panels on the roof".
Independent Flitwick councillor Gareth Mackey said: "It will be an excellent development for the town and certainly as a replacement for Ferndale.
"It's almost the Rolls Royce of delivery, so I commend the council on this."
Conservative Flitwick councillor Charles Gomm described it as "a positive benefit to the town and surrounding areas", saying he had concerns over parking provision.
Stressing the need to prevent parking problems on Steppingley Road, he said it "serves a number of traffic generators, such as the Rufus Centre, the leisure centre, the railway station and Tesco supermarket".
CBC's head of service MANOP (meeting the accommodation needs of older people) Tobin Stephenson referred to a "substantial" gap in provision of care home places locally, and in independent living and downsizer housing.
Councillors approved the proposals with nine votes in favour, none against and one abstention.

The place of women as the driver for a more resilient tomorrow, was at the spotlight of the 4th BPW Mediterranean Symposium, taking place on Friday and Saturday, in Nicosia.
House President Annita Demetriou highlighted the role women can play in contributing to the transformation of the society and the economy, while Niovi Parissinou, Deputy Government Spokeswoman, representing Cyprus President assured that the government is taking concrete steps in increasing participation of women in the labour market, protecting their rights and fostering female entrepreneurship.
Addressing the symposium, Demetriou said that, as the first woman elected to the presidency of the House of Representatives and in full recognition of the high demands and expectations that the said position entails “I hereby reaffirm my commitment to contribute to the cause of protecting, empowering and providing equal opportunities to women across the globe through substantive actions devoid of dry rhetorical rhetoric.”
She also referred to the emerging challenges which require decisive and methodical action to resolve, mainly climate change which threatens the very existence on the planet, noting that “despite some progress in COP26 in Glasgow our citizens demand decisive action is taken in order to achieve tangible results and attain the objective of harnessing the rising global temperature.
“My concern in tackling climate change is that the changes brought about may be done with fairness, respect for human rights and equality in men and women in order to ensure that the wedge in equality in societies are thoroughly addressed,” she said.
Representing Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades, Parissinou assured of the government’s “practical and organized efforts to ensure increased employment of women in the labour market, the protection of their labour rights and retirement conditions, as well as their training and the subsidizing of youth and female entrepreneurship.”
She referred to the adoption of a National Action Plan for Equality between Men and Women 2019-2023, by the Council of Ministers in September 2019, a project aiming at fostering a culture of equality, by deconstructing established social stereotypes and perceptions of the roles of men and women, recalling that through action taken by the Ministry of Labour, the pay gap percentage in Cyprus was reduced by of 13.7% in 2017, while Cyprus ranked 5th in 2017, among countries that achieved the largest percentage reduction in the gender pay gap in the period 2010-2017, despite the economic crisis and despite the implementation of a strict economic adjustment program.
“The support of the Government is granted, as we seek to take concrete measures to encourage and promote female entrepreneurship and the unlimited potential and prospects it can create in the social and economic development of the country,” she said.
Furthermore, Anu Viks, BPW Coordinator for Europe said “we women as the drivers of the resilient tomorrow we have to use our wisdom and our talents to drive the world to a sustainable future and for the future generations.”
“A resilient tomorrow is well managed green businesses, well managed circular businesses and of course diversity,” she added.
Mary Papadopoulou, President of BPW Cyprus on her part noted that gender equality is not a women’s issue, in fact it is every one issue, as women we must assure that men recognize the fact that everyone wins when women take their place on the table.
“So why aren’t we there yet? What is missing? What is missing is the political will to affect change. This is where we have to focus our efforts and to make our demands known,” she noted.
Marios Tsiakkis the Secretary-General of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the COVID pandemic is paving a new path for us, a more holistic inclusive and caring path, adding that “by nature, these attributes are inherent in women and women are the forces that would drive us to this change.”
He added that the Chamber is “a firm believer in women entrepreneurship as this brings about increased economic activity, contributes to reducing unemployment and economic inactivity and brings about new ideas and innovation that fights gender-stereotypes and introduces an unparalleled entrepreneurial culture that can be an example to all of us.
“Of course, we still have a long way to go to achieve the equal representation of women in the business community. It is imperative therefore all initiatives that will bring us closer to this aim are to be commended and supported,” he concluded.


Over the Weekend: Aquabats, Bloc Party, Vinyl Art and More
Whew! Boy did we cover a lot of ground this weekend. Clubs Editor Benjamin Leatherman was out being a one man wrecking ball for this weekend's "Night Out" slide show while Music Editor Martin Cizmar hit up Bloc Party last night. I kept myself busy reviewing the Aquabats show while photographer Deanna Dent covered the vinyl art show we mentioned last week.

As economics students know, switching involves costs. However how a lot? When a client switches banks, or an organization switches suppliers, it’s comparatively easy to depend the added expense of the effort of change.

'To be loved or appreciated, which is more important?'
'To be understood is what matters.'
|in which he gets her to sing along|
"Can I hold your hand? I'm afraid of needles."
Am I lying? Yes. Does Crystal buy it? Hell yes!
My question causes her eyes to go so wide I'm afraid they'll fall out and roll across the hospital floor. The sight is kind of funny, but I keep a straight face, giving Crystal the most adorable puppy-dog eyes I can manage. Pretty sure I don't look half as cute as a pup, but she pities my lame attempt and reaches out.
In my mind, I'm doing somersaults. In real life, I'm limping -- with her hand in mine -- towards the chair the doctor points me to.
"Have you taken your medicines?" the man asks me, looking half-asleep already.
I nod. Lying is easier when you don't actually voice the lie.
The man picks up a pair of really thin scissors and reaches out towards me.
"Don't move, all right?" he asks.
I swallow, trying not to think of another man who said this to me. Instead of letting the past control me, I close my eyes and root myself in the present. My therapist taught me how.
Focus on my breathing.
Going in and out.
Feel each breath in my abdomen.
My entire body is breathing.
With this breath.
Listen to my body.
Listen to what it says, where it hurts, where it doesn't.
Listen to all the places that want to talk to me.
So, I listen. I listen to my aching leg and the skin tingling under the cast enveloping my arm. I listen to my heart beating wildly in my chest, telling me it's scared. I listen to my brain whirring in the silence, reminding me not to move. I listen to my muscles, tightening when the doctor's gloved hands touch my face as he cuts the stitches.
I listen to the warmth of Crystal's small hand in mine.
"You're good to go," the doctor finally says.
I'm not ready to come back to the world yet, enjoying my moment of being with myself. I can't stick to my plan, though, so force my eyes open. Straightening up, I extend my right arm towards the doctor so he can remove my cast. I'm aware of Crystal's hand in my clammy left one, but she makes no attempt to let it go.
According to the doctor, my arm is good now, which means I no longer have to wear the cast. He instructs me not to lift heavy weights or over-do it. My leg, though, isn't fully healed, which means I need to wear the cast for another two weeks.
Crystal helps me out of the hospital and back towards her car, finally turning to look at me when we're seated.
"You lied to him," she points out, her face stern.
"What?" I pretend not to know what she's saying.
"Ryan, you lied about taking your meds," she explains. "You can't tell people you're on painkillers when you're not. Especially your doctor when --"

Best way to quiet your SLP Cat-Back
Originally I had bought the SLP LM1 cat-back system for my 2003 Mustang GT. When I first installed it I thought wow, this is pretty loud. A few months later, I was too used to it and found it to be quiet. So I installed a full length catless H pipe. It was amazingly loud, too loud, and had a machine gun sound on the highway. So rather then get rid of the SLP cat-back, I bought the Powerflo\'s. It is very hard to find ANY reviews on this product, as you can tell by mine being the first and only one on here so far. They sound deeper, and are MUCH quieter then the LM1\'s. They have no machine gun sound, and are so much more quiet then the LM1\'s. I would say it is now just a little louder then what I used to have when it was JUST the lm1 cat-back. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to quiet down their SLP system.
As always, thanks American Muscle, free shipping and I received them in two days.

It’s superb bike for city rides and long rides both with an wonderful handling and breaking experience.
Is Duke 390 a superbike?
5) Best Design in its Class: New KTM 390 Duke comes with the best available design around its segment. The overall expressions are sharp and one would even notice the superbike inspired tail section of the motorcycle. Use of new 13.4-litre steel fuel tank further raises eyebrows on the street.
What are the advantages of KTM bike?
Pros of KTM 200 Duke
- Lightweight Performance: The motorcycle is very aggressively built in comparison to all the others around its segment.

Is the KTM Duke 200 a good bike?
After 12000 km on an ‘as new’ 2013 KTM Duke 200 I have lots of praise and very little criticism. 1. This bike shouts good design from every angle. It is a handsome creation but it also functions outstandingly well in almost every respect. 2.
What kind of headlamp does KTM 200 Duke use?
The 200 Duke continues to use a halogen headlamp but now gets LED DRLs. It also has an LED tail lamp and LED turn indicators. The fully digital instrument console has been carried over and includes the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, real-time mileage, average fuel consumption, and average speed.
When did the KTM Super Duke come out?
Style is an objective notion, and it’s one that the KTM Duke line has been polarizing since the 1290 Super Duke’s inception in 2014. The alien/mantis razor sharp styling and loud graphics make recent Dukes look fast even while standing still.
What’s the difference between 390 Duke and 390 Duke?
Design wise, it still packs the same looks of the older-gen 390 Duke. It gets a revised set of graphics, orange alloy wheels and three different colour options – orange, black and white.

With strong Louisiana home-base elements, Big Al amp; the Heavyweights also combine Texan and Chicago features in their musical gumbo with Hey, Hey Mardi Gras. With twists of rock, Ramp;B, Delta and Cajun music, Big Al and company lay down a heavy beat that is impossible to ignore.
Opening with the musically vivacious "Bound By Love" and grooving into "WrestlinÂ With the Blues," Big Al and the Heavyweights take charge with rockinÂ, blazinÂ blues fit for a king. Showing much more a strong rock influence than any regional flavor, these blues cook with interesting percussion, dynamite guitar lines, and beefy arrangements that are top shelf.
With a little humor thrown in on cuts like "Eat More Crawfish" and lovelorn cuts like the shufflinÂ "WhereÂs My Baby" and "Cheatin Blues," Big Al leads his crew through the paces with outstanding results. Blues donÂt get any deeper than tunes like "Make It Rain" Â a real stop/look and listener.
Born and raised in New Orleans, drummer/vocalist and bandleader Big Al (Albert J. Lauro, Jr.) is accompanied by his musical partner and co-writer Tim Wagoner, who contributes the earthy lead vocals and smart guitar action. It is the splendid slide guitar of Fred James that is heard on "Cajun Roux." The movinÂ accordion sound is from Eddie Blakeley, who also contributes background vocals. What makes the CD so special is the bandÂs ability to infuse Cajun with blues and rock.
Hey, Hey Mardi Gras is the perfect record to be played LOUD at your next cookout. The moodÂs exuberant and the groove never stops. Big Al amp; the Heavyweights deliver with knockout strength!
BIG AL AND THE HEAVYWEIGHTÂS FOLLOWERS ARE KNOWN AS "GUMBO HEADS" AND LIKE THE JAM BAND CULT FOLLOWING, ARE TRAVELING HUNDREDS OF MILES TO GET A STOMACH FULL OF THEIR GUMBO GROOVES. THE HEAVYWEIGHTS OFFER AN UNCONVENTIONAL PERFORMANCE, REFLECTING THE BANDÂS INFLUENCES OF BLUES, JAZZ, ZYDECO AND ROCK. BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, THEIR SHOWS ARE JUST PLAIN FUN! THEIR HISTORY INCLUDES BEING FOUNDED BY GOVÂT MULE/ ALLMAN BROTHERS MEMBER, WARREN HAYNES. BIG AL AND WARREN MET AT A JAM SESSION AT THE BLUESBIRD CAFÃ IN NASHVILLE, TN. 11 YEARS AGO AND FORMED THE UNKNOWN BLUES BAND. THAT EVOVLED INTO BIG AL AND THE HEAVYWEIGHTS, WHICH GOT A BIG BREAK WHEN DAN AKROYD FEATURED ONE OF THE BANDÂS SONGS, "HOUSE PARTY", ON THE HOUSE OF BLUES RADIO SHOW. THE BAND HAS SINCE APPEARED ON THE SHOW FOUR TIMES WITH EACH OF THEIR CDÂS.

The Constitution of India makes health in India the responsibility of state governments, rather than the central government. It makes every state responsible for “raising the level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties”.
Over the next couple of blogs and newsletters, we will find out more about our healthcare system and how healthy it really is.
Let’s start with a few facts.
- Although all states are required to provide good health care to our burgeoning population, India spends only 1.62% of its GDP on creating systems and infrastructure for the same. China spends 3% of its GDP on health, the UK 8% and the USA 8.3%. A minimum of 2.5% spend is needed in order to provide decent health services to our communities.
- At 60%, India has one of the highest out-of-pocket health care expenditures. Besides, the country has only 6.49 doctors per 10,000 people, lower than most developing nations. Orissa has the highest number of government hospitals in the country.
- Per capita spend on health across the world is as follows:
4. State-wise expenditure on health in India is as follows:
Not everything is dull, though. Our infant mortality rates have dropped over 30% with an increase in awareness, better access to care for mothers and pregnant women and vaccinations.
In 2016, the government has decided to cover unforeseen illness in poor families with an additional Rs 30,000 for senior citizens. Their plan to add 3,000 pharmacies under the Jan Aushadhi Yojana to provide generic drugs at affordable rates is a commendable move.
This video here also gives us cause to celebrate. Despite the many problems facing us, we are only moving upwards and onwards. Here, we celebrate Dr. Devi Shetty and his revolutionary methods to make good quality healthcare affordable to all.
Awareness is the first step to action. Stay tuned for more about the state of our health with us at Desh Apnayen.


This project is a collaboration for the Elkanodata Agency.
The client, United Nations MPTF office, needed to explain UN expenditures, over ten-year periods, in various operations in the top countries affected by various humanitarian and development crisis.
For the first level of interaction, we chose a bubble chart that clearly shows how the expenditures are distributed over time by each country. Browsing by year, you see a clear difference in the size of the circles.
For the second level of interaction, we detailed in two charts the division of the expenditures, including both the year and country chosen, per operational activity (Humanitarian, Peace DPKO, Development, Peace DPA)

Loose Women is simple sexism.
The ITV show Loose Women had to be taken off air yesterday after a group called Fathers For Justice stormed the set protesting the "reverse sexism" of an all-women show.
Coleen Nolan and Co were understandably shocked.
The protesters may have picked a good target, but they did so for the wrong reasons.
Loose Women isn't reverse sexism. It's just sexism.
In offering a vehicle exclusively to women, it erroneously suggests that women somehow need cosseting.
RTE once subscribed to that thinking with the exclusively female-focused programme Women Today... in 1979.
Times are different now.
It's just odd that it took Fathers for Justice to highlight that to ITV.

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Friday that half the government officials in the state administration would go behind bars if the "scams committed during the former Congress-led government" were to be investigated.
"There is virtually no local (government) officer who is not involved in the illegalities (during the former government). They were involved in the scams like recruitment, where they have signed the documents,," Parrikar told an annual general meeting of Goa Small Industries Association in Panaji on Friday.
"If I am harsh, then half of the officers will go to jail. They will face criminal action," the chief minister said, adding that he had to take almost one and half year after assuming charge to get the administration working.
"There are direct evidences against them with me. When I took over, the officers could not function, as they were worried. So I had to tell them to tell the investigating authorities that they had done the irregularities at the behest of the then ministers," Parrikar stated.
He accused former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat of completely "destroying" the administration for corruption. "I initially thought that the first sin of Kamat was corruption, but I was wrong. The first sin was total destruction of the administration," Parrikar said.

"The delicate embroidery of a human heart onto the skin resembles a heart surgery for me. The creation process is a ritual of healing. healing of love, friendship, loss of someone, loss of land or loss of where you belong.. As human beings we have to be extremely careful not to create any damage or harm to others. This work is the story of every child, woman and man who has become a victim of conflict, war and violence in the 21st century. I dedicate this performance to every Palestinian child, woman and man. Peace, Love and Freedom". Deneth Wedaarachchige
As part of her residency, Deneth performed at Al Ma'mal and organsied a workshop. The performance, "Healing", involved the delicate embroidery of a human heart on skin. Titled "The Children of the Sun", an eight- day workshop, was held at the African Community Centre in Jerusalem for children between the ages of 12-17 to help the participants express themselves, expand their imaginations, and create three-dimensional artwork.
Participants: Abdalla Balallawi, Gibreen Balallawi, Mohammed Balallawi, Ali Balallawi, Masar Nokad, Fayek Habash, Mohammad Shaheen, Shaden Qous, Ibrahim Qadi, Ashraf Shaheen, and Mohammad Qous.
Deneth Wedaarachchige is a visual artist from Sri Lanka temporarily living in France. Deneth experienced the Sri Lankan civil war (1983-2009) as a child, and found that art can have a powerful impact and allow for people to share across cultures. As a visual artist, Deneth uses art to bring about small changes in people's lives by bringing them to express themselves and tell their stories through art, which in turn allows them to share their experiences with the rest of the world. Between 2004-2009 Deneth conducted workshops for children in Nepal, India, and Sri Lanka with the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and local hospitals. She also curated "The Living Canvas-Gallery without Walls", a three dimensional art installation in Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka in which performers donned installation pieces and presented them in shows. More recently she has exhibited work at the UNESCO, the Salon des Delegues, and the Gallery 59 Rivoli in Paris.

Comparison of the feeding mode of the tablet press
The feeding system of the tablet press can be generally divided into three types: the boottype feeding system of the single punching machine, the monthly feeding system of the ordinary rotary tablet press, and the forced feeding part of the press at low speed.
Comparison of the structure and characteristics of the single stamping machine system and stamping process
The main structure of the shoe material system, the feeding machine for the shoe shape, driven by the CAM, CAM on the die surface swing from side to side, to complete the feeding, scraping, pushing and other operations.
The working process of shoe material system is given. Lift the upper punch, reduce the diameter of the die punch to the appropriate depth, the weight of the particles is exactly equal to the weight of the tablet, swing the feeder on the die, then fill the die hole, and fill the die with particles; The feeder is separated from the die hole so that the particles in the die hole are flush with the upper edge of the die hole. Press sheet, lower upper punch to press particles into thin sheet; The top punch is raised and the bottom punch is raised so that it is flush with the edge of the die hole. At this point, the feeder again moves into the mold hole and pushes the pill down into the container. At the same time, the punch drops and the mold hole is filled with particles again, and the process is repeated.
The structural characteristics of the reticulated feeding system of the medium and low speed wheel press are compared with the sheet pressing process
In the crescent gate feeding system of an ordinary low-speed rotary machine, the feeder is fixed on the turntable gauge so that the lower part of the gate is kept at a certain distance with a formwork surface. When the mold's rotating ring passes under the feeder, the product particles on the grille fall into the mold hole, and multiple twisted grille plates cause the product to be filled multiple times. The subsequent feeder is equipped with a scraper, which is firmly attached to the working surface of the rotary table. Rotatable disc and die ring, scraping die ring surface of excess particles. Then it falls down again, so that after scraping the material, it hits the powder in the mold hole.
As shown in the circular mesh feeder press process, the filler, when punched under the hopper, the particles are filled into the holes of the mold. When the downward thrust is pushed to the upper plane of the feed guide, the excess particles are scraped off with a scraper; When the down punch moves forward to the upper edge of the lower wheel, and the up punch moves forward to the lower edge of the upper wheel, the distance between the two punches is minimal and the particles are compressed into sheets.
Promote film. The upper punch and the lower punch oscillate up and down along a guide rail respectively. When the punch reaches the top of the outlet guide, push the tablet out of the die hole, through the scraper into the container, and so on.


BMW and Michelin officials discuss their ride-sharing, Earth-friendly, self-driving futureAug 07, 2019 01:01PM ● By David Dykes
BMW and Michelin--two companies whose economic and civic importance to the Upstate can't be ignored--are on the verge of dramatic change. Just how widespread the local impact will be isn't known, but during the international sustainable and connected mobility summit Movin' On in Montreal in June, the two companies made it clear that it's time to move from ambition to action.
Designed by Michelin, in partnership with the international business conference C2, the summit convened an estimated 5,000 people from more than 67 countries for forward-looking talks, collaborative activities, and action-focused creative sessions.
Ursula Mathar, BMW Group's vice president of sustainability and environmental protection, said production changes are coming on a global scale. She pointed out that BMW has worked on producing combustion-engine cars on the same assembly line as plug-in hybrids or pure-electric cars.
"We won't have one production plant only for electric cars and the other one only for combustion-engine cars," Mathar said. "We will make it flexible."
However, Mathar also noted that changes will be "step-by-step," and she doesn't know the timing of major production changes that could impact Spartanburg, where BMW employs more than 11,000 people and produces the X3, X5, and X7 sports activity vehicles and the X4 and X6 sports activity coupes.
In 2015, BMW said its X5 xDrive40e, the company's first plug-in hybrid sports activity vehicle, was being produced in Spartanburg. Last year, BMW announced the next version of the X5 plug-in hybrid would go into production in Spartanburg in August and the all-new X3 plug-in hybrid would begin production in December.
Meanwhile, in March of this year, BMW officials said they plan to produce 12 new all-electric cars by 2025, including five by 2021. Add in the company's rapidly growing range of plug-in hybrids and BMW's portfolio will include at least 25 electrified models by 2025.
The German auto giant isn't working alone. The BMW Group also has joined forces with Daimler AG to advance development of the next generation of technologies needed for autonomous driving.
At the end of February, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop the technologies that are vital for future mobility. Initially, the focus will be on advancing the development of next-generation technologies for driver assistance systems, automated driving on highways, and parking features.
The two companies are investing more than one billion euros to develop and more closely intermesh their offerings for car-sharing, ride-hailing, parking, charging, and multimodal transport.
BMW has invested more than $10 billion in its 1,150-acre, 7-million-square-foot South Carolina campus, which generates its own power, and Mathar, who has visited the Spartanburg plant, said company officials are constantly looking for ways to lessen the environmental impact while maintaining BMW's goals of quality and consistency. Officials say that from 2006 to 2018, the company's South Carolina plant reduced water consumption 44%, energy consumption 61%, industrial wastewater 58%, and waste disposed in a landfill 85% per vehicle shipped.
Asked what should have been done differently, Mathar said BMW should have moved faster on decisions regarding decarbonization and a circular economy, an economic system aimed at minimizing waste and making the most of resources.
Also in Montreal, Michelin and General Motors presented a new generation of airless wheel technology for passenger vehicles: the Michelin Uptis Prototype (or "Unique Punctureproof Tire System"). Because Uptis is airless, the breakthrough wheel assembly eliminates the dangerous risk of flat tires and blowouts, Michelin officials say.
Michelin, whose North American operations are headquartered in Greenville, and GM announced a joint research agreement under which the companies intend to validate the Uptis prototype with the goal of introducing it to passenger models as early as 2024. The two companies are testing the Uptis prototype, beginning with vehicles like the Chevrolet Bolt EV. Later this year, the firms will initiate real-world testing of Uptis on a test fleet of Bolt EV vehicles in Michigan.
At the summit, Eric Vinesse, Group Michelin's executive vice president of research and development, told reporters motorists in China have a tire puncture every six months, on average. In North America, it's once every two to three years, and in Europe it's once every four or five years. That makes Asia an attractive initial production market for the new tire, Vinesse noted.
The cost to consumers, while not set, will be "very consistent with the value that it delivers," Vinesse said. It isn't known when Michelin's U.S. plants could be involved in production for domestic markets.
The Uptis prototype represents a major advancement toward achieving Michelin's VISION concept, which was presented at the Movin'On Summit in 2017 as an illustration of Michelin's strategy for research and development in sustainable mobility. The VISION concept introduced four main pillars of innovation: airless, connected, 3D-printed, and 100% sustainable (entirely renewable or biosourced materials).
"Uptis demonstrates that Michelin's vision for a future of sustainable mobility is clearly an achievable dream," Florent Menegaux, chief executive officer for Michelin Group, said in a statement. "Through work with strategic partners like GM, who share our ambitions for transforming mobility, we can seize the future today."
"Uptis is an ideal fit for propelling the automotive industry into the future and a great example of how our customers benefit when we collaborate and innovate with our supplier partners," said Steve Kiefer, GM's senior vice president, global purchasing and supply chain.
Uptis features ground-breaking improvements in architecture and composite materials, which enable Uptis to bear the car's weight at road-going speeds, Michelin officials said.
The officials said the innovations combine to eliminate compressed air to support the vehicle's load, and result in extraordinary environmental savings: approximately 200 million tires worldwide are scrapped prematurely every year as a result of punctures, damage from road hazards, or improper air pressure that causes uneven wear.

Discover how Ethereum’s recent Shanghai upgrade has impacted staking and withdrawals on the network. Learn more about the benefits of staking and why this upgrade has been so highly anticipated.
The Ethereum Shanghai upgrade has been completed, marking a significant achievement in Ethereum’s roadmap.
One question most people have on their minds after the fact is this – Has the Shanghai upgrade made a significant impact on the Ethereum ecosystem?
Let’s explore it in this article.
Staking in Ethereum
The Shanghai upgrade’s primary purpose was to allow stakers to withdraw their funds from the mainnet, which has allowed for a significant change in the Ethereum ecosystem. The upgrade has been highly anticipated by the community, ever since staking functionality was added to the network.
Staking involves holding cryptocurrency in a wallet and participating in the consensus process of a blockchain network. Stakers receive rewards for their contributions, such as earning interest on their holdings. This incentivizes investors to hold onto their tokens and participate in the network, making it more secure and decentralized.
It allows users to stake their Ethereum and earn rewards for their participation in the network. The upgrade has been designed to make the Ethereum network more efficient and scalable, while also improving its security and functionality.
One of the benefits of staking is that it provides a stable source of income for investors. Unlike trading, staking provides a predictable return on investment that is not subject to the volatile swings of the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, staking helps to secure the network by increasing the number of participants in the consensus process.
Post Shanghai Data
Post Shanghai data has revealed that over 1 million Ethereum has been withdrawn since the upgrade with Coinbase having the largest withdrawal with more than 55,000 ETH to come out.
According to data from web3 platforms, despite the upgrade’s premise of withdrawals, the network has more Ethereum coming in than withdrawals, indicating that investors are still bullish on Ethereum.
With newly entered cryptocurrencies such as $PEPE on the rise, investors may be tempted to diversify their portfolio, but Ethereum’s strong performance after the Shanghai upgrade suggests that staking Ethereum remains a solid investment choice.
Overall, the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade and staking launch have been successful, and users are still eager to stake their Ethereum since the upgrade was executed last month. With more upgrades and developments on the horizon, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for the Ethereum ecosystem. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, Ethereum is poised to be one of the leading blockchain networks for years to come.

NXIVM prime ally Nancy Salzman is at the point of convergence of the full-length trailer for the HBO real bad behavior docuseries, The Commitment, which gets back with season 2 in October. Standing up strangely on the series, she surrenders she was “misguided” about coordinator Keith Raniere, who was condemned on charges for sex managing and interest after his wellbeing pack was uncovered to be a sex religion and Ponzi plan.
“Going into this, I thought Keith was faultless. I was misguided,” Salzman says, uncovering that “my whole association was obliterated and my whole life fell apart.”
Despite Raniere, who was sentenced to 120 years in prison, Salzman was similarly condemned on different charges of stunt for her relationship in the affiliation. In September 2021, she was sentenced to 42 months in prison and a $150,000 fine, and in February 2022, she began serving out her time in a restorative office at a prison in West Virginia.
In the trailer, she in like manner attests that “17,000 people got extraordinary results,” before inquisitive, “where are they?” The recording then, at that point, cuts to shots of various NXIVM partners, including Allison Mack’s ex, Nicki Clyne, plunking down on camera, presumably to stay aware of their continued with dedication to Raniere and the social occasion.
According to HBO, The Responsibility Part II is “set against the foundation of the public authority fundamental of The US against Keith Raniere…
It follows the legal and significant outings of the social occasion’s coordinators, partners and turncoats as new evidence and stunning divulgences become known, while regulatory inspectors and security attorneys battle with confining viewpoints on value for a circumstance caught in the public spotlight.”
Covering the genuine repercussions that followed the loss of NXIVM, the trailer similarly shows film of Mack’s fundamental, which achieved the past Smallville performer surrendering to various charges and getting a sentence of three years in prison.

Why the European financial crisis could mean trouble for Americans.
Makers of the new 'Robin Hood' film, which opens today, are touting it as 'authentic.' But no one knows what the real Robin Hood was like – if he existed at all. The result is that he's been reinterpreted countless times through the centuries.
A law enforcement investigator enters a home at 39 Waverley Avenue, in Watertown, Mass., on Thursday. Federal agents arrested two people and are searching locations in Massachusetts and New York in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb, federal authorities said.


None of Trump’s nominees should receive confirmation. However, because congress has no concern about ‘doing the right thing,’ the Republican controlled senate will surely bow to Trump and add additional danger to the future of our nation.
Trump has chosen the least qualified and most immoral men and women in America to be his closest advisers and his cabinet.
All of them offer far too many reasons why they should be rejected, but the worst may be Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.
Tillerson is the CEO of oil giant Exxon-Mobile. If that isn’t reason enough, he is also a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin. They have partnered in oil and gas agreements which will earn Exxon billions of dollars in additional revenue. Putin awarded the highest civilian honor allowed to Tillerson.
Tillerson has absolutely no qualifications to hold such an important post. Add to this fact a guarantee that he will grant Putin favored status, and our nation will be sold to the highest bidder.
One of the most important changes in congress must be term limits. Far too many of the old, white men in our nation’s government have outlived their usefulness, and are out of touch with generations they have long left behind.
Two perfect examples of this fact are the Senator from Arizona, John McCain, and Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham. They lack the courage, stamina, and integrity to fight for what is right, and what would best benefit the American people. But that does not prevent them from joining the rest of the hypocrites in the Republican Party and offer Trump their homage.
“After careful consideration, and much discussion with Mr. Tillerson, we have decided to support his nomination to be Secretary of State,” Mr. McCain and Mr. Graham said in a statement. “Though we still have concerns about his past dealings with the Russian government and President Vladimir Putin, we believe that Mr. Tillerson can be an effective advocate for U.S. interests.”
Really? Tillerson is totally unfit for the position, and anyone who denies that is lying to themselves and to the American people.
Tillerson is a perfect example of the poor choices made by Trump, or should I say for Trump. It has become very obvious that Putin and billionaire Robert Mercer are pulling his strings.

As of December 1, delivery with trucks and loaders will not be allowed during peak traffic.
PHILIPSBURG--Minister of Justice Anna Richardson on Monday announced reinforcement of traffic regulations for heavy duty vehicles. As of December 1, 2022, these vehicles are not allowed on the public road during breakfast and lunch hours.
Based in the St. Maarten Traffic Ordinance, there are restricted hours for heavy equipment to be allowed on public roads. In view of traffic safety and to stimulate the traffic flow during peak traffic hours, Article 60A of the Traffic Ordinance states that it is not allowed to be on the public road with heavy duty vehicles on weekdays between 6:30am to 8:30am and 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
“After Hurricane Irma, this regulation was no longer strictly enforced due to the fact that heavy equipment vehicles were essential in rebuilding the country after the damage caused by the hurricane,” Minister Richardson explained.
The minister and the Chief of Police find it imperative that the strict enforcement of the restricted hours to be on the public road for heavy equipment vehicles is reinstated. Therefore, the general public and companies operating heavy equipment vehicles are hereby informed that as of December 1, 2022, vehicles with heavy equipment will not be allowed on the public road on weekdays between 6:30am to 8:30am and 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
“All exemptions issued after Hurricane Irma can be considered revoked starting from December 1, 2022,” the Minister stated.
Vehicles such as loaders, tractors, with or without a trailer, concrete trucks, asphalt trucks, gasoline tankers, forklifts and loaded trucks are considered heavy equipment by law, the minister explained, noting that she wants to create awareness within the general public concerning traffic regulations.
“Many operators do not always adhere to the requirements for their vehicles set in the Traffic Ordinance and related legislation,” Richardson said.
The minister stressed that the safety of road users and pedestrians must be taken into consideration at all times. According to articles 22 and 63 of the Traffic Ordinance a vehicle cannot be overloaded or loaded in such a way that the driver does not have sufficient view of the road or is not able to properly steer the vehicle, or there is a risk of losing the load due to for example having no cover on the load or not properly tied.
It is also forbidden to drive a vehicle with sharp objects sticking out of the vehicle which may cause injury in a collision. The load may not protrude more than five meters behind the rear axle of the vehicle, and the load may not cause any other type of danger to traffic.
In the event that the load sticks out of a vehicle, the front end and rear end of the load must have a red flag attached to it of at least 40 centimeters during the day or nighttime. During the nighttime, a light must be attached to the load if it sticks out of the vehicle. In addition to the load, Article 23 of the Traffic Ordinance states that a vehicle is forbidden to drive on the public road if it exceeds the height, including load, of 3.50 meters and the width, including load, of 2.60 meters.
St. Maarten Police force KPSM will carry out regular traffic controls to enforce the regulations of the Traffic Ordinance and related legislation. Failure to adhere to the (reinstated) traffic regulations can lead to imposed sanctions.
Based on Article 119 of the Traffic Ordinance, a maximum penalty of 30 days’ imprisonment or a maximum fine of ANG 500 can be imposed for violations of the aforementioned traffic regulations. A second violation within a period of one year can be sanctioned with a maximum of 60 days’ imprisonment and a maximum fine of ANG 5,000.
Minister Richardson further encourages the general public to ensure that they comply with the additional standard regulations for vehicle owners. This includes being in possession of a valid driver’s license, valid motor vehicle insurance, updated payment of road tax, and a mandatory vehicle inspection.
Violations of the additional standard regulations are as follows. Persons found driving without a valid driver’s license are punishable with a maximum penalty of 30 days’ imprisonment or a maximum fine of ANG 500.
Driving without a valid motor vehicle insurance is punishable with a maximum penalty of three months’ imprisonment or a maximum fine of ANG 5,000. Driving without payment of road tax is punishable with a maximum fine of ANG 500. Lastly, driving without a valid vehicle inspection is punishable with a maximum penalty of three months’ imprisonment or a maximum fine of ANG 500.
