Melburnians have discovered and are flocking to the west, making the western growth corridor the fastest growing front in Australia. But even as new suburbs such as Point Cook, Truganina and Caroline Springs reshape Melbourne, the west is such a late bloomer that enormous potential remains for the region to offer opportunity to live and work within easy reach of the CBD.
The Mt Atkinson Project (MAP), a 700ha master-planned community located within the Mt Atkinson Precinct in the heart of Melbourne’s Western Growth Corridor, is an exciting harbinger of that potential.
A KPMG report, Mt Atkinson PSP – September 2016, forecasts that over the next 20 years the Mt Atkinson Precinct will deliver a local employment centre for more than 18,000 people, a community of 20,000 residents, and social, community and recreational infrastructure for the western growth corridor.
The construction phase of the project will deliver an average of 2,800 new construction jobs per annum and once fully developed the economic activity generated by the precinct will result in a contribution of $8.3 billion annually to the state’s economy and employment for 72,000 people.
It is hard to imagine a better location to create a new sustainable community. Situated within the Urban Growth Boundary, the precinct is just 23km west from the CBD and has access to existing rail and road infrastructure. Around 600,000 residents live within 20 minutes of the precinct. Opportunities such as this, given the scale and proximity to a major city, rarely exist.
The Mt Atkinson Precinct contains an area of 1,411ha. The developer, Mt Atkinson Holdings, is the largest single land owner in the precinct, owning and controlling 700ha, about 70% of the developable area – including the Mt Atkinson hilltop and recreational area, land designated for the town centre, railway station, and road frontages and land required to reticulate major infrastructure to the precinct.
The aim of the master-plan community concept is to integrate residential, commercial, industrial, retail and community infrastructure while housing people near jobs and public transport. The Mt Atkinson project has been designed to attract employment opportunities for local residents, with the potential to create thousands of jobs in the manufacturing, health and education, retail and services sectors.
KPMG demographer Bernard Salt believes the “awakening of the west” is good news for Melbourne. “It makes fundamentally good city-planning sense,” he says.
Salt says the west will be “Melbourne’s primary growth front” over the next decade “and most likely beyond”.
For most of Melbourne’s history, urban residents have favoured expansion to the east. Today, the outermost edge of Melbourne stretches 60km southeast to Pakenham, with spot settlements such as Drouin even further east. Almost until the close of the previous century, Melbourne’s western suburbs stopped 18km from the CBD at Deer Park.
“If Melbourne is to progress from 4 million to 5 million residents and beyond, then it is logical that part of the net additional population is located west of Deer Park,” Salt says.
“Melbourne is a lop-sided city, extending further to the east than it does to the west,” Salt says. “Why would you grow Melbourne [further to the east] when you can reset the growth and leverage off existing infrastructure? Suddenly the logic of the west opens up”.
To assist in the delivery of an even better quality of life for Melburnians in the 2020s and beyond, Salt says it is also makes sense to develop local employment nodes.
“The positioning of the Mt Atkinson precinct, the proposed master plan, the focus on employment opportunities and the delivery of an infrastructure investment strategy will ensure orderly and desirable growth and development,” Salt says.
Salt also says that “by the 2030s this precinct can be as central to the west as places like Glen Waverley is to the east.”
The Mt Atkinson precinct is a well-connected and infrastructure-ready opportunity that will yield strong employment, sustainable housing and economic growth for Victoria. An extensive network of walking tracks and bicycle paths will connect the community to employment, transport and services, delivering a “walkable” and self-sustaining new suburb for Melbourne that overcomes car dependency and is environmentally friendly.
Mt Atkinson is a desirable and ready location for the state government and industry to establish a significant employment and residential precinct. The project strongly aligns with the key principles of the state’s Western Growth Corridor Plan, the Delivering Melbourne’s Newest Sustainable Communities report, and the Plan Melbourne planning strategy.
The Mt Atkinson precinct has access to existing transport-ready infrastructure, including the Melton railway line and the Western Highway/Hopkins Road interchange. Further public transport connectivity will be delivered through the establishment of a new railway station.
The precinct has commitments from Edmund Rice Education Australia for a new regional school and expressions of interest to locate in the precinct sporting bodies and major retailers. Edmund Rice executive director, Wayne Tinsey, says the plan is to establish “an educational facility of regional importance…to service the greater west of Melbourne”.
The Mt Atkinson community will be able to live and work locally and self-sufficiently, without reliance on employment-based car transit to the CBD, further enhanced by the inclusion of a rail station to be established on the existing Melton line which traverses the precinct.
The proposed community master plan also accords with the State Government’s “20-minute city” concept to be created in metropolitan areas of Melbourne. The aim is to create in Mt Atkinson a “self-sustaining 20-Minute-City”, with housing that is close to jobs, transport and amenity, and ensuring that employers have easy access to a local workforce.
The Victorian Planning Authority commenced work on the Mt Atkinson Precinct Structure Plan in 2013 to elevate the importance and significance of the precinct and facilitate anticipated project commencement in 2017.
Mt. Atkinson Precinct (MAP) is a 1,411 hectare project of state significance located in the heart of Melbourne’s west, 23km from the CBD, and sets a new benchmark for liveability, jobs and infrastructure. MAP consists of a town centre, large business and commercial hub, major industrial park, educational facilities and residential community.
MAP mirrors the Government’s aspirations and existing policy plans, delivering Melbourne’s newest sustainable community to accommodate population growth.
MAP offers an environment that promotes social and economic participation to deliver strong community benefits through localised employment, transport accessibility and community services – all underpinned by state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Metal Tile / August 28, 2018 / FifineAsselin
For copper you have a few choices unless you have sealed the surface. You may allow the metal tiles to age and simply clean them on a regular basis using water and soap. You may also use a copper cleaner if you want your metal accent tiles for backsplash to remain shiny. However patina copper tiles have a clear coat protection so it will not do any good if you use a copper cleaner on them. Instead just stick to water and soap to keep them clean. You have to apply special care on titanium tiles even if they are only titanium-colored. Never use water and soap on them. Instead prepare a solution with equal parts of water and vinegar and then apply it on the tiles using a clean dry cloth to keep them shiny and clean.
Metal tile is available in a wide variety of shapes sizes and types of metal. They come plain or with intricate designs carved into the surface. No matter how you decide to use them in your home there are plenty of options to select from. Adding tile of any sort into your home decor is fun and allows your creativity to come out. You can use them in any arrangement or combination but working with metal adds more sophistication and luxury than ceramic and glass tile just cannot create. The most common use of tile made from metal is as an accent to the rest of the decor. They are worked into the room in a certain pattern or at very specific points in order to support and highlight other features in the room.
Accent tile is usually adorned with some kind of pattern and the type of metal should be carefully chosen so the color will work well with the color scheme of the room. There are many different types of metal to select from including bronze silver and copper. Pewter is a popular material for accent pieces. Using tile for accent can be more cost effective because you do not need to purchase as much of it. Just make sure to always purchase some extra tile just in case it is needed at the time of installation. Another use for tile made from metal is as a focal point or mural. This is especially popular in kitchens but can be done in any room of the home.

Catalog of Situations: The setting creating a difference
Imagine a house. In it, tremendous panorama windows, which enable the view over a world to command, cover the spaces of power. So it is in Hitler’s house, at the Obersalzberg. The windows frame the world behind and let it by this, be controllable for the look. In a picture, precisely the opposite happens: Here the window misleads our look in unknown terrain, plunges it in the deep. Is the world controllable by art?
The exhibition “Talking Territories” finishes with a lecture performance about the look of power and the window in a picture.
The Lecture Performance is part of the series Catalog of Situations by Jan-Philipp Possmann and David Weber-Krebs. In their Lecture Performances, the both of them examine their own enthusiasm or uncertainty while experiencing art. This experience is made tangible for the audience. Doing so, Possmann and Weber-Krebs become observer and objects of their own lecture.

Wedding costs, like college costs, are best saved for well in advance – like in utero, if possible. Not many can plunk down over $23,000 – the average cost of a Milwaukee County wedding – all at once, or even over the course of a few months. But, sayeth local experts, setting aside funds in advance can greatly ease the stomach-churning burden of paying for the big I Do.
Saving early allows for smaller monthly contributions, and having deposits taken directly from paychecks ensures that funds will actually be set aside, says Amanda Schlagenhauf, owner of The Bride Consultant in Milwaukee. You know, in case something more appealing than table linens happens to pique your wallet’s interest.
And Schlagenhauf means early. “It definitely doesn’t hurt to start saving even before the actual engagement,” she says. Set up the Big Day Fund in a single, joint checking account, says Terry Powers, an event planner with Golden Chic Events + Consulting. “This will help prevent racking up gigantic credit card debt and allow [the betrothed] to get some practice sharing a bank account,” Powers says. Having that available cash will make it easier to cover upfront payments required by vendors, and she suggests couples seek discounts from vendors, who often offer reduced rates for referrals or cash payments.
Expected guest count and the couple’s vision for the wedding are the main factors in determining a wedding budget, says Schlagenhauf. A budget for a DIY wedding with 100 guests will look awfully different compared with one for a 500-person, black-tie affair. No matter the size, says Janice Rosenthal, owner of Party Productions in Milwaukee, determining how much Mom and Dad can kick in, if anything, is a conversation to have in the first stages of planning. ◆


THE CONTINUING hot, dry weather is starting to put the Gilgandra town water supply under stress, with usage now outstripping production.
On Wednesday, Gilgandra residents used 5.1 megalitres, while the filtration plant has a maximum operating capacity of 4.6 megalitres per day.
Gilgandra Shire Council director works and technical services, Rolly Lawford said if usage remained above production capacity, the council would need to look at some form of temporary restrictions to build reserves back up.
He said 5.1 megalitres in one day was an all-time record for usage.
"We completely understand people needing to water their gardens; however, we need to bring usage in line with production otherwise pressure will drop and the council will be forced to implement restrictions to build reservoir levels back up," he said.
Gilgandra Shire Council suggested the following actions in an attempt to conserve water.
- Try to limit showers to four minutes or less (22 per cent of water usage in the average household is through showering).
- Only do full loads of washing and use the dishwasher only when it is full .
- Check for leaking taps and toilets as dripping tap can leak as much as 30 litres per day.
- Avoid watering the garden and lawn between 9am and 6pm. Much of the water is lost in evaporation in the current heat.
- If you have a pool, put a cover on the pool when not in use to minimize evaporation.
- Do not hose down hard surfaces; use a broom; and
- Apply mulch to your garden.
Mr Lawford said if every resident saved a small amount of water each day it would bring usage and production back in line.
"We need people on the Gilgandra town water supply saving about 150 litres per person per day," he said.
"Currently usage is about 1700 litres per person per day.
"I realize not everyone uses that amount, however, I think people understand the concept that with no substantial rain in sight and forecast for extremely hot weather, the reservoirs need to be replenished to avoid the need for introducing some form of water restrictions."


text: A perfect Mother's Day card for all the flower loving moms. The potting bench with the pots and vases was hand stamped with watercolor markers. Color was added to all the containers from a pallette. Stamps were used to add the foliage and flowers. It was cut out using an ornate edged die, and it was adhered to yellow floral paper with pop dots for added dimension. The front of the card reads "with love on Mother's Day". The inside of the card is blank. The card measures 5" x 7" and comes with a white envelope. It is shipped in a cellophane envelope and comes from a smoke free environment.


As a tiny needle in a sprawling hayfield, a single crystal grain measuring tens of millionths of a meter—located in a borehole sample drilled in Central Siberia—had a sudden chemical make-up.
And a specific X-ray method in use at the Division of Power’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) proved the sample’s uniqueness and made way for its formal admission as a newly found mineral – ognitite.
Based on this achievement with the technique at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS), the analysis team is using it to review other tiny samples of hopeful candidates for brand new mineral discoveries. The ALS is a synchrotron that designs X-rays and different types of light for dozens of simultaneous measures.
“The difficulty is that these minerals can be extraordinarily rare and are available in minimal quantities,” stated Nobumichi Tamura, a scientist at the ALS who helped to customize the experimental method—generally known as X-ray Laue microdiffraction (and also micro-Laue X-ray diffraction) – to review tiny crystal samples alongside minerals. Tamura participated in the ognitite discovery and is now operating with the same crew to explore different samples.
The ognitite mineral’s structure and different properties are described in a research printed in May in Mineralogical Magazine and further documented in the European Journal of Mineralogy. The research additionally defines a brand new, cobalt-rich mineral variety—described as “cobaltian maucherite—that Tamura explored using the same approach at the ALS.
The form of X-ray Laue micro-diffraction implemented at the ALS makes use of a narrowly focused X-ray beam that spans a range of energies to discover the atomic structure of supplies in an exquisite element. The beam is concentrated to nearly a hundredth the diameter of a human hair.

2003 wins: Chicago Film Critics, Dallas-Ft. Worth Film Critics, Florida Film Critics, Kansas City Film Critics, Los Angeles Film Critics, National Board of Review, Seattle Film Critics, Toronto Film Critics, Venice Film Festival
Oscar pedigree: Nominated: “Boogie Nights” (1997), “The End of the Affair” (1999)
Moore on her two roles this year as depressed housewives: “These are ordinary women trying to figure out who they are and what they want for their future, things that we all deal with. This is what matters to me, as a person, a mother and someone’s partner.”
What we said: “As she was in ‘Safe,’ Moore again proves a consummate vehicle for the director’s intentions. Her beautifully gauged performance encompasses the crisp efficiency of the perfect suburban housewife; the desperation of a woman buckling under social pressures and putting on a brave face despite the disintegration of a marriage revealed to be hollow.” — David Rooney (Sept. 2)
What the rest said: “Get out an Oscar for Moore. She digs so deep into this role that actress and character breathe as one.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
This could be the night: Unlike in “The Hours,” where three women divide screen time, Moore appears in virtually every frame.
Then comes the rub: She may lose this by a nose if voters are won over by Kidman’s transformation.

There is no tax like Inheritance Tax. It arouses animosity in many people, especially when it has ensnared many families in its ever expanding net. So no surprise that many people loath the tax. Over the last year more than £5 billion was collected from the inheritance tax alone. For expatriates Inheritance Tax can be even stickier to understand your position in line with UK inheritance tax, but with rates of 40% and above it pays to understand your situation and options.
Even if you have been living abroad for many years, it is still highly likely you are considered to be a UK –domicile, which brings you into the battlefront of inheritance tax. The UK inheritance tax department will stick their jagged little fingernails into anything that could suggest you have intentions to return to the UK one day; this could be any assets you own in the UK, such as property, burial plot or even a car.
While it isn’t impossible to adopt a domicile of your choice in Portugal, you will have to eliminate all ties with the UK, domicile law is extremely complex. Furthermore, a new rule that has been implemented by the UK suggests that even returning to the UK for a proportionately meagre period- such as a family member is ill ect – could in fact result in inheritance tax liability for non-domiciles coming into effect. As for those who are UK domiciles, UK inheritance tax applies to your entire estate, not just UK assets, and not just property. They will take a cut of your entire assets across the globe. Even those who are not UK-domiciled, any British assets attract UK inheritance tax. This includes all UK residential property.
A tax relief was introduced in April 2017; the ‘residential nil-rate band’ or ‘family home allowance’ this provides extra relief when passing on a main home to your direct descendants. The good news for expatriates is you can claim this allowance on a property outside of the UK, provided it is your main residential home (although local inheritance taxes may still apply). To be eligible for this allowance, your property must be seen to be your main residential property. Investment properties are not included, and it is only available for one property that is passed directly to children or grandchildren. Larger estates on the other hand, do not receive the full tax relief – estates over £2 million have a smaller tax relief and those £2.2 million and above receive no tax relief.
Despite the tax allowance, the government’s inheritance tax funds continue to swell. The reason behind this has a lot to do with people’s increasing value of assets – in particular property. As house prices have risen, the number of estates that have fallen outside the governments “residential nil-rate band” have increased substantially. Currently residential property makes up a third of estates liable for inheritance tax.
Additionally, the standard relief – frozen at £325,000 since 2009 and fixed until 2021 – has not kept pace with inflation unlike property and other assets. The UK government’s Office for Budget Responsibility predicts the inheritance tax haul will surpass £6 billion by 2021 as people’s asset continue to grow and standard relief is frozen.
However, there are ways to mitigate UK inheritance tax other than gradually transferring (or spending!) your wealth within your lifetime. deVere’s adviser who are specialist, cross-border expertise can help you establish your domicile status and how UK inheritance tax interacts with Portuguese stamp duty. With good planning, you can structure your wealth to take advantage of all reliefs available and ensure you don’t leave your beneficiaries with an unnecessarily large tax bill.

Special: Iwata, thank you for everything
July 13, 2015 \ Uncategorized \ 3 Comments
Today’s news came as a shock to all of us. Satoru Iwata, CEO and President of Nintendo, is no longer alive. He died at age 55 due to a bile duct growth. We’ve lost a great man today but his legacy will forever live one in the gorgeous things he brought us. It’s time to say farewell to a legend, it’s time to say thank you for everything he has achieved over the years.
The young years
Iwata grew up in Japan and got his computer science degree later on. Not long after his graduation, he worked for HAL Laboratory, an important development studio owned by Nintendo. In here, Iwata helped in creating some of the most memorable Nintendo franchises. The most important game he helped to develop back in that day was Earthbound. Without the input of Iwata, Earthbound wouldn’t be the game it is today.
More than 15 years later, his hard work got rewarded. Iwata became President of Nintendo back in 2002, following Hiroshi Yamauchi’s departure. As President of Nintendo, Iwata devoted his life in guiding the company towards new highs. His leadership brought us a lot to love and remember.
Thank you for the Nintendo Wii and DS
It was under the command of Iwata that Nintendo managed to produce two of its most popular consoles ever created. The Nintendo Wii and DS both were a tremendous success. A success that would never happen if Iwata didn’t push hard for innovation. He truly was a visionary; he wanted to bring innovation to the gaming world. Although not all of his ideas were great, there’s no denying that without Iwata, the Wii and DS wouldn’t be the success they are today. It’s thanks to him and his team that we got to enjoy two of Nintendo’s best hardware pieces.
He spoke to the world, creating a friendly face for the company
The biggest innovation didn’t come with technology however. Iwata changed the way Nintendo was communicating with gamers. The focus of a silent company shifted to a company that was open for dialogue with its fans and developers. The brilliant Iwata Asks series gave us a look into the world of game development. It introduced us to the developers so we all know who was working on the game. Iwata was a very friendly and patient man. It’s this that made the Iwata Asks series into such a success. Not only this but thanks to the Iwata Asks series we’ve learned thing that we never thought of. I remember the part where he explained Mario couldn’t jump at first.
It’s a shame we’ll have to miss these brilliant conversations. whoever takes over his role; it will never be the same as with Iwata. It’s thanks to Iwata that we, the gamers, were allowed to enter the ‘behind closed door’ areas of the company.
The Nintendo Directs
This brings us to the last and probably most successful idea Iwata had the last days, the Nintendo Direct shows. Iwata often made an appearance on these great shows and he never took thing too seriously. He showed us that a company as big as Nintendo isn’t all about gaining money, it’s about having fun. There’re some unforgettable Nintendo Direct moments we would like to share with you here:
The battle with Reggie to promote Smash:
Iwata introduced a new way of communicating with the fans using the Nintendo Directs and it always worked. Nintendo fans always looked forward to see the Direct. Not only for the games but also for Iwata. One thing is for sure; the Nintendo Directs will never be the same again.
Rest in peace, you’ve earned it
It is believed that one of the meanings of the name ‘Nintendo’ is leave luck to heaven. As for now, we truly hope Iwata will find his luck, regardless of the place or time. We truly are shocked that a strong mind like his passed away but we are very grateful for everything he has done for Nintendo and its fans. He will forever live on in the legacy he left behind.

A personal injury lawyer is a legal professional who represents individuals who have suffered harm or injury as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another party.
This can include physical injury, such as a car accident or slip and fall accident, or psychological injury, such as defamation or emotional distress.
Personal injury lawyers work to advocate for the rights of their clients and seek fair and just compensation for their losses.
Car accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury cases that personal injury lawyers handle. When someone is injured in a car accident due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another driver, they may be entitled to compensation for their losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Personal injury lawyers can help individuals who have been injured in a car accident by negotiating with insurance companies, gathering evidence and documentation to support the claim, and representing the client in court proceedings.
If you have been injured in a car accident, it is important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights and options and advise you on the best course of action.
They can also help you navigate the legal process and handle communication with insurance companies and other parties involved in the case.
When choosing a personal injury lawyer to handle your car accident case, it is important to consider their experience and expertise in handling such cases. Look for a lawyer who has a track record of success in cases similar to yours and who has a deep understanding of the laws and regulations that apply to personal injury claims in your jurisdiction.
It is also important to find a lawyer who is a good fit for you personally. Look for a lawyer who is easy to communicate with and who is willing to take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions.
Gathering evidence and documentation to support your claim is an important part of the personal injury legal process.
A personal injury lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence and documentation, such as medical records, witness statements, and accident reports.
They may also work with experts, such as medical professionals or accident reconstruction specialists, to help build a strong case.
Once the necessary evidence and documentation have been gathered, the personal injury lawyer will work to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.
Insurance companies often try to minimize the amount of compensation they pay out, so it is important for personal injury lawyers to be skilled negotiators.
They may also work with other legal professionals, such as mediators or arbitrators, to try to reach a settlement out of court.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the personal injury lawyer may represent you in court proceedings. This may involve preparing and presenting evidence, cross-examining witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your claim.
Personal injury lawyers must be prepared to go to trial if necessary, and must be comfortable speaking in front of a judge and jury.
Overall, a personal injury lawyer is a valuable.

Toyota’s TRD performance division has unleashed a serious set of upgrades for the Lexus IS F, all based on CCS Concept shown at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.
The exterior has been tricked out with a full carbon fiber kit: the hood, front under-spoiler, fixed rear wing & rear diffuser are all CF.
TRD also has two new lightweight wheel designs, one made from magnesium and the other out of aluminum.
Chassis & Drivetrain
TRD has developed both a two-way adjustable damping suspension kit and a fixed damping suspension kit, a handbuilt LSD, new TRD brake pads, front & rear stabilizers and a Titanium muffler.
The final touch is this carbon fiber interior trim — absolutely beautiful.
Here’s where the fun begins — parts are sold either individually or in packages:
- Package 1: All parts with fixed suspension, no wheels & no LSD: £3,586,485 ($46,624 USD)
- Package 2: All parts with fixed suspension, aluminum wheels: £4,676,385 ($60,793 USD)
- Package 3: All parts with adjustable suspension, magnesium wheels: £5,568,885 ($72,395 USD)
For as nice as the parts may be, the prices will put most of these options outside of the reach of most enthusiasts — par for the course when we’re talking about TRD parts. As such, we’re unlikely to see any IS F CCS parts making their way to North America.

While the 2020 spring sports cancellations hit all programs hard, it was especially difficult for Crane and head coach Bryan Harmon who had very high hopes for a postseason run.
“As was the case with many teams, we were very disappointed to have the 2020 season cancelled,” Harmon said. “We were going into the season at No. 3 in the preseason state rankings.”
Despite the missed opportunity, Crane isn’t wasting any time looking in the rear view. Heading into the 2021 campaign, the Pirates have three big reasons for optimism once again.
First, the team only graduated a pair of seniors in Darin Terrell and Heath Quick, with Terrell moving on to play baseball at Bethany College this season.
With only two graduates, Crane’s roster is loaded this season with talent and experience including nine seniors in infielder/outfielder Wesley Clark, pitcher/shortstop Zane Compton, pitcher/second baseman Chase Conrad, pitcher/outfielder Koy Essary, pitcher/infielder Harley Hebert, catcher/infielder Isaac Robinson, pitcher/third baseman Hayden Shepard, pitcher/outfielder Isaiah Smith, and pitcher/first baseman Seth Steele.
CLICK HERE FOR ALL OF THE SPRING SPORTS PREVIEWS
The senior-laded squad will be joined by two more returning players in junior pitcher/infielder/outfielder Wyatt Howard and sophomore catcher/infielder Blake Evans.
For Harmon, entering his 15th season at the helm and 28th at the school, the lost opportunities from 2020 have become fuel for an experienced, eager group of seniors.
“Missing the season has made our players even more hungry for success in the upcoming season,” Harmon said. “Our senior class has stepped up as leaders and are ready to push the younger players to success.”
Crane’s final reason for optimism lies in the fact the Pirates were able to play a full fall season and develop as a team.
“This senior class was fortunate enough to have a fall season in which they went 24-4,” Harmon said. “Each of them contributed to the success and will be expected to continue the hard work.”
With a deep, talented roster, Harmon and Crane are once again focused on making a run in the postseason.
“With a large group of returning players, they have set high expectations for themselves both individually and as a team,” Harmon said. “Our biggest strength is our experience. This group of players have played together since junior high and they have built an atmosphere of support and accountability that breeds success.”
If Crane has a question mark heading into the season, it could be depth on the mound.
“Because of some injuries, we were forced to develop more pitching depth in the fall,” Harmon said. “We hope to use that depth along with the returning players to have a strong pitching staff.”
Following a March 11 jamboree at Joplin with College Heights, Miller and Sarcoxie, Crane will open its season at home March 19 with a double-header against Fair Grove and Verona.

After several intense and exhilarating days of glaciers, hovering peaks and hikes at 4,000 meters, my husband and I were feeling visually and emotionally drained. That was how we discovered the area around this small, well-preserved medieval city on the Rhine north of Zurich. If the Alps are like the Rockies to Americans, then the canton of Schaffhausen is Vermont. The architecture that is so fascinating and detailed is more than 400 years old.

UCBH Holdings Inc. said it will buy 25% of privately held Bank of Canton of California for $48 million in stock and is in talks to acquire the remaining 75% to expand its business with Chinese customers in Los Angeles and San Francisco. UCBH, parent of United Commercial Bank, said it can back out of buying the 25% if no deal is hammered out for the rest. Acquiring the entire bank would increase United Commercial Bank's assets by 42% to about $4.4 billion.

Russ Grimm concedes he surprised himself how he reacted to the news that he could be on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "I've never been the type of guy that says, 'Oh, this is great, I hope my name goes up there,' but I'm kind of excited about it," Grimm said Friday after hearing he was among the preliminary nominees for 1997 induction.

In U.S. military briefings recently, officials referred to a "CANTONMENT" area in which Iraqi tanks were destroyed. Later, other officials remarked that a cantonment area was a place where military vehicles are repaired. Cantonment comes from the French word cantonnement and is defined as "the assignment of troops to temporary quarters," or as a term to describe "the quarters assigned."

interesting article. Argonne National Lab tested two

NOx and HC emissions when compared to a stock Prius."
Also noted "There is a risk that the aftermarket
batteries can compromise the fuel system and/or

higher risk of fire." This from Charles Ing, Toyota

to discourage tax incentives for plug-in conversions.

It does it with Composite, HDMI and without signal, the other inputs I haven't tested and unfortunately have no way of testing.
Re: [jts1957] Toshiba 32AV613DG - Help with diagnostic
[In reply to]
But just like I said, after a while of the TV being turned on with input, the image turns normal but if it doesn't have any input, then it stays glitched indefinitely, the "timer" for it to start working without issues only is triggered when there is any input coming into the TV.
Another thing that might be helpful to mention is that there's some devices that I own that can't actually get the TV to stabilize and work normally, perhaps because of a weak signal?
Per example, my PlayStation 2 can on component video, my operator's IPTV box can on HDMI, along with my Raspberry Pi 2 / 3B+ but on the other hand, my MAG 256 can't, it could be plugged in for 3 hours straight but the TV won't display normally as opposed to the other ones that after about half an hour can get the TV to display normally.
Maybe that helps with troubleshooting the cause?
Thanks for the help and sorry if my wording is making it difficult to understand.

KAR Global will rebrand as OPENLANE
KAR Global is rebranding as OPENLANE, the company said Tuesday afternoon.
The corporate name change will be effective May 15.
OPENLANE, which has been part of KAR’s digital offerings for over a decade, will now be both the name of the parent company and the go-to-market brand for its digital marketplaces throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
“Our vision is to build the world’s greatest digital marketplace for used vehicles, and we are advancing that vision by bringing together all of our sellers, buyers and vehicles under OPENLANE,” CEO Peter Kelly said in a news release.
“Over the past decade, we’ve built and acquired some of the leading digital platforms in our industry. Combining the best features and functionality from this technology and unifying our supporting operations will help us create the fastest, easiest and most active digital marketplace available,” Kelly said. “With flexible sale formats and thousands of cars offered each day — including exclusive, first access to a significant majority of North America’s off-lease inventory — customers will be able to list, bid and buy anytime, anywhere.”
The platforms, offering and operations will be consolidated under the OPENLANE brand, a move designed to “help focus the company’s strategy and investments, accelerate innovation and simplify the overall customer experience,” the company said in a news release.
However, the rebranding does not impact the AFC financing business unit.
The rebranding also signifies the company’s ongoing shift towards being a more asset light, digital marketplace. (Last year, KAR sold its U.S. ADESA brick-and-mortar auctions to Carvana.)
The company’s common stock will continue trading under the “KAR” ticker on the New York Stock Exchange. The company is also launching a new corporate website at corporate.openlane.com.
How rollouts will shake out
The company will launch the first OPENLANE-branded marketplace in Canada. It is combining the ADESA Canada and TradeRev platforms there, a process that starts next month.
As for the U.S., the CARWAVE platform has already been integrated into the BacklotCars platform. The new live-auction formation is currently being rolled out nationally.
Once that process is complete, the company plans to integrate the U.S. dealer-to-dealer and off-lease platforms into a combined OPENLANE-branded marketplace.
As for Europe, the ADESA Europe, ADESA UK and GWListe dealer-to-dealer technology into a consolidated marketplace. That platform is expected to take on the OPENLANE brand, as well.
Kelly was one of the co-founders of the original OPENLANE platform, which launched in 1999, and was its CEO when KAR purchased the online remarketing platform in 2011.
He then became KAR’s CEO in April 2021.
“KAR catalyzed the digital transformation of remarketing through our acquisition of OPENLANE in 2011. So it is fitting to anchor the next era of our company—and our industry—on the OPENLANE brand,” said Kelly. “From CPO-ready off-lease cars to higher-mileage older vehicles, to fleet, rentals, recoveries and everything in between, OPENLANE will have the right car for every lot in every geography.
“And with thousands of unique users engaging on our marketplaces each day, sellers can have confidence they’re receiving the best, most competitive market price available.”
Stay tuned to Auto Remarketing for more on this story following the company’s earnings call Wednesday and our upcoming interview with Kelly.

I would like to add to this issue. If this is not the correct place and I should make a new topic, then let me know.
We have multi-platform real time reporting application that has thousands of users. The application has the knowledge and access to over a thousand twitter ads accounts. We have a actually 2 main accounts that we grant access to each new ads account when it is being added to our application. When making calls we utilize the token for each of these accounts to maximize our rate limit.
The problem is that the user in our application has access to their twitter accounts and campaigns and then there are superusers who can see every twitter account that we run. When trying to do live reporting on all of these accounts obviously we hit the rate limit very quickly since it only takes one person making a few calls to hit the minute limit.
Is there some way were we can create an access pool for twitter accounts. Ideally we would like to use the individuals twitter account to make the calls, but for users like our staff that need access to over a thousand it will become unmanageable trying to grant them all access to each account as it is created. Is there any way that we can add users to our master account saying they have access to everything that we do?
Or just some way to increase the rate limit based on the size of what is available to this twitter account. The limit is reasonable if there is only one account, since you only need the data for that account so often. The problem comes in when you have thousands of accounts you are trying to manage with a single rate limit.
Any insight on how to manage this many users and accounts would be appreciated.

A Patent Ductus Arteriosus, more commonly referred to as PDA, is a condition where the heart’s ductus arteriosus doesn’t close, leaving an unclosed hole in the aorta. The ductus arteriosus is a vessel that’s an essential part of fetal blood circulation and is connected to the major arteries – the aorta and pulmonary artery. Before a baby is born, the fetus doesn’t need to use their lungs to get oxygenated and the ductus arteriosus allows the blood to skip the circulation to the lungs.
However when a baby is born, their blood must get oxygen from their lungs and the patent arteriosus is supposed to close within the first few hours or days after birth. If the patent arteriosus remains open, the blood can skip a necessary step of circulation and allow oxygen-rich blood from aorta to mix with the oxygen-poor blood from the pulmonary artery. A Patent Ductus Arteriosus can cause strain to your heart and increase blood pressure in the lung arteries, affecting your heart health.
Although, PDA is a congenital heart defect seen at birth, but it can be missed and identified later on in life at any age. If your baby has a PDA but otherwise is still heart healthy, the PDA may shrink and go away. However, some children and adults require treatments to close their PDA.
How does the PDA affect me?
If the PDA is small, it won’t cause many symptoms or problems with your heart because the blood flow and pressure in the heart and lungs aren’t changed much from normal. The only abnormality that a doctor may find would be a distinctive type of heart murmur.
If the PDA is large or moderate, you may become breathless more easily due to reduced heart function and high pressures in your lungs. High pressure can occur in your lung vessels because more blood is being pumped there than normal. Over time PDA can cause permanent damage to your lung blood vessels.
How does the PDA affect my heart?
Normally the heart’s right side only pumps blood into the lungs and the left side pumps blood to the body. If you have PDA, extra blood is circulated and extra blood get pumped from the body (aorta) artery into the lung (pulmonary) arteries. If your PDA is large, the extra blood being pumped into the pulmonary arteries makes the lungs and heart work harder, and your lungs can become congested.
It’s crucial to pay attention to your heart health to live a healthy and fulfilling life. To get heart healthy today, contact Dr. Gordon Gunn in Fullerton, CA at 714-912-2211. Visit www.gordongunnmd.com if you would like to learn more about heart health.

-- Completed enrollment for phase II clinical trial of brostallicin as first-line therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
-- Announced that Craig Philips, most recently Vice President and General Manager of Bayer Healthcare Oncology, assumed day to day role as President of CTI with direct responsibilities for development and commercial operations.
-- Repaid balance of approximately $10.7 million for 2008 Convertible Notes leaving Company with no debt maturing before Q3 2010 and established equity line of credit for the sale of up to $12 million of common stock over time.
Total operating expenses increased to $28.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $24.3 million for the same period in 2007 mainly as a result of increased expenses related to support expansion of Zevalin sales and marketing efforts and legal expenses. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, totaled $59.3 million ($0.52 per share), which included $25.6 million in make-whole interest expense due to the conversion of the 9% and 13.5% convertibles notes into common stock that resulted in a decrease of approximately $39.6 million in debt, compared to $27.9 million ($0.65 per share) for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net loss per share is due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding.

How long does it take to recover after giving birth?
After nine months of pregnancy, during which you experienced many body changes – including weight gain, hormonal changes, breast enlargement and others – you finally deliver your baby vaginally and, despite being overjoyed with the presence of your beautiful newborn, you will discover your body has undergone even more changes. Healing after vaginal birth takes awhile to recover and feel like you did before pregnancy. If there were any complications during your pregnancy or delivery, the recovery time is even longer.
The following discussion about recovering from a vaginal delivery is an approximate guideline for mothers who have had uncomplicated, normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries. When you deliver vaginally, it usually takes about 7 to 10 days to recover your energy and feel like you can do regular activities of daily living.
Physical changes to my body after giving birth
However… your body has changed both outwardly and inwardly. Initially, you will lose weight right after the delivery, which includes the baby weight, placenta, blood and amniotic fluid – which adds up to a 10 to 12 pound loss. During the days following your delivery, you will also lose the extra water you retained during pregnancy because you will urinate a lot. You will lose up to 5 or 6 pounds of water weight depending upon how much water you retained. Following that weight loss, you will often lose more weight if you are breast-feeding, which helps with the overall weight loss from pregnancy.
For many mothers, losing the weight gained during pregnancy can be a struggle. If so, you should consult your physician for help, who may refer you to a nutritionist and advise an exercise program.
Another change during pregnancy was your uterus, which stretches during pregnancy to around 15 times its pre-pregnancy size. Immediately following delivery, your uterus will contract, causing the placenta to deliver. Once the placenta delivers, your uterus will contract even more to stop bleeding, and will begin to retract and become smaller – also known as involution of the uterus. It takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size.

When does the cervix close after delivery?
Your cervix also stretches during pregnancy, so when you deliver it’s soft and has little elasticity, which is called tone. It takes about 1 week for the cervix to return to its normal size, but 4 to 6 weeks to heal completely from labor and delivery.
During labor and delivery your vagina is stretched and injured, so it is swollen and has lost its elasticity. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for the swelling to go down and the elasticity to return to your vagina. Doing Kegel exercises can help your vagina recover that elasticity. This will help when you start having sex after birth again. However, your vagina will probably be larger even after you recover from your delivery than it was pre-pregnancy.
Your perineum is also stretched during labor and delivery and can be injured during the delivery. It will be swollen and tender for at least 2 weeks, and will take at least 6 weeks to completely heal.

Hormonal changes after labor and delivery
In addition to these changes, your body will undergo hormonal changes secondary to labor and delivery. Levels of Estrogen, Progesterone, and other hormones decrease significantly. These changes – combined with the excitement and stress of caring for a newborn and the sleep deprivation that accompanies – can precipitate mood changes.
Many new mothers can feel emotional and depressed following delivery, anywhere from several days to several weeks. If you are depressed longer than this you could be experiencing postpartum depression, in which case you should seek help and support from your physician who can refer you to a professional specializing in postpartum depression.
Other changes after delivering my baby
Other changes – such as skin changes – which are often caused by hormonal fluxes during your pregnancy, will typically clear up post-delivery. Or you may have not have had any skin changes during pregnancy, but may have some post-pregnancy – such as acne.
You also will have stretch marks, which become lighter, but do not disappear completely. There are many creams you can get to help lessen these marks.
Finally, you may have experienced hair loss during your pregnancy. Following delivery, it can take up to a year before your normal hair growth returns.
All in all, pregnancy, having a baby, and caring for your baby takes its toll on your body. It takes time to return to your pre-pregnancy body. It’s important to take time for yourself after your delivery. It’s very easy to focus on your newborn, who is most precious and wonderful, and not take care of your own needs. However, you need to be good to yourself with exercise, massage, manicures, pedicures, nutrition, etc. The better and healthier you feel, the better you will be as a parent and partner.
There are many resources you can reach out to such as new mother support groups, coaching with a professional coach, personal trainers, therapy, etc. if you feel you need help and support.

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Senate President Pete Kelly says his majority welcomes additional discussion on the state's fiscal problems which they believe are best addressed by reducing government budgets and instituting a spending limit.
Kelly said, "We have asked the administration, before new taxes on working Alaskans are considered, to provide a budget for the coming fiscal year that includes reductions in spending, and a revised revenue forecast with responsible estimates of oil price and production.
Kelly explains that with that information in hand, the Senate will be able to accurately determine what, if any, actions must be taken to raise additional revenue. "We want to make it clear that any complete plan to address our fiscal problem cannot solely reach into Alaskans' pockets for more government money, but must include budget restrictions. Government has to do its part," he said.
The Senate President said his majority supports a special session to address crime. The Senate has already approved the fix to the crime bill approved in the previous Legislature. He said, "We offer our support to the House to do the same, and stand by to work out any differences."
The Governor's call includes passage of Senate Bill 54.

MP backs more rights to protect homeowners

CAMBRIDGESHIRE MP Shailesh Vara believes householders deserve greater rights when it comes to protecting themselves in their own homes.
The MP for North West Cambridgeshire said that if his new Private Member's Bill is turned into legislation, it would clarify the existing law and give people more security in their own homes.
But the Home Office and Labour back-benchers have branded his Bill as "unnecessary and unhelpful."
Mr Vara's idea would amend existing law so that only those deemed to have used "grossly disproportionate force" while defending their own property or loved ones, will be prosecuted.
This would replace the current test, which looks at "reasonable force."
"It is important to have proper and clear law in the area of householders dealing with intruders," he said. "The law here is completely outdated and in need of reform.

- 2 Jail for paedophile who photographed abuse
- 3 Ian Stewart 'appeared odd' at wife Diane's funeral, court hears
- 4 Face coverings no longer mandatory indoors as England returns to Plan A
- 5 Jail for suspected hare courser who forced cars off road during police pursuit
- 6 Mother of Rikki Neave 'told the truth and nothing but the truth', jury told
- 7 Motion passed to send letter to Michael Gove after objections to incinerator plan
- 8 Charming 'cakery' selling sweet treats opens in Ramsey
- 9 Brampton Park golfers swing into action to raise money for hospice
- 10 Care home visitor limits to be lifted next week
"I believe that most people will agree that individuals should have the right to defend their home and family from intruders, and that this may, on occasions, require the use of force."
He stressed that the Bill was not aimed at resolving the row caused by Norfolk farmer Tony Martin who was convicted of manslaughter. Mr Martin shot a burglar in the back following a break-in at his remote farmhouse.
Supporters of the Bill include Mr Vara's fellow Conservative politician, Huntingdon MP Jonathan Djanogly, Labour MPs Frank Field and Lindsay Hoyle, Ulster Unionist Lady Hermon and Independent Richard Taylor.
However, the Bill is only 13th on the list of Private Members' Bilsl, and it does not look likely to become law without Home Office backing, which it does not currently have.
Mr Vara said: "Unfortunately the Home Office has already signalled its opposition to my Bill but I am hoping MPs will see the benefits it would have and support it.
"My Bill already has cross-party support and I hope that there will be a reasoned and sensible debate on the subject. I hope this long overdue reform is passed into law.


Fans of the site know about my earlier article referring to Joe Minicozzi, the developer who discovered that dense development brings in tax dollars at a more efficient rate than less-dense development on the edges of cities (you can find the post here). Turns out, Minicozzi was just in Modesto to discuss his work and offer an example based on some buildings in the city. Minicozzi found that what was true in southeastern cities also holds true for Modesto: Downtown buildings are more efficient sources of revenue than developments on the outskirts of the city. Here is an excerpt from the Modesto Bee article highlighting Minicozzi’s findings:
“Modesto and Stanislaus County have pulled about $26,800 per acre in property taxes from a building in the 900 block of J Street that has housed a sports bar and other businesses. That’s compared with $6,900 per acre from Vintage Faire Mall.
The three-story downtown building stands on less than an acre. The mall covers 94 acres of what used to be prime farmland.”
Now we have solid proof that even in the sprawling central valley, it makes more sense to build up older, central business districts than to pin revenue hopes on strip malls and subdivisions on farmland. Also, it should be noted that Minicozzi’s talk and analysis was paid for by grants and private foundations. I hope central valley leaders and developers were listening.

Scarlett’s baby: Actress Scarlett Johansson gave birth to a baby boy, Cosmo. Husband Colin Jost welcomed the news on his Instagram on 19th of August 2021. Congratulations are in order to both of them on this heartwarming news.
Scarlett, 36, is now a mother to two children. She has a six year old daughter, Rose, from a previous marriage and a baby boy with Jost. The news of the baby’s birth came as a surprise as no one was expecting it so soon. This is because the news of her pregnancy had been revealed only a few days earlier by Jost in one of his stand-up shows in Connecticut.
The couple got married in October 2020. This is the first child for Jost, who is known for hosting ‘Weekend Update’ on Saturday Night Live.
Jost, 39, urged people on his Instagram to respect his privacy meanwhile as the couple celebrate the arrival of Cosmo.
Scarlett’s new baby’s addition is yet another success in her life. She was the highest paid actress in 2018 and 2019. Further, she has been listed on the Forbes Celebrity 100 many times. She has also received various awards and nominations for her amazing performances in the movies. She is very well famous for being the Marvel heroine, Black Widow, for which she has received critical acclaim and worldwide recognition. Furthermore, she is a prominent public figure who supports many charities. She is viewed as incredibly gorgeous by the media, hence she has been referred to as a ‘sex symbol’ too.
Thus, as the couple celebrate becoming a family, fans are overjoyed too, to see Scarlett make news again in the media with such an amazing addition of Cosmo.

Road Rube Rides
Highway 60 Detour to 63
Distance: 31 miles
Time: 44 minutes
Highway 60 Detour onto Highway 63 is a decent alternative
I was looking forward to taking Highway 60 out of Zumbrota to Wabasha because it’s one of the best motorcycle roads in Minnesota. So I took off from Zumbrota and it is a good warm up to the main event – Zumbro Falls to Wabasha. It is an awesome road. Well, it has incredible curves and hills. It has not been a good road for a while now and hopefully that’s why I encountered the detour in Zumbro Falls. According to MNDOT the road will be resurfaced by the end of June.
Anyway, I got stuck taking the detour. And it wasn’t too bad. It just wasn’t as good as 60. I took 60 two years ago and the road was in terrible condition, so the detour sign was a bit of welcome news since they’ll be fixing it.
At Zumbro Falls detours motorists onto Highway 63 to Lake City. It is still a nice ride with a little bit of country scenery and some long, sweeping curves. So not all was lost by taking that route.
The road is in great condition and Lake City is a good town to stop for gas or a bite to eat.
The Bottom Line
Feel free to take the detour if you get to Zumbro Falls. But otherwise wait for Highway 60 to reopen.


Turkish aerospace industry has made tremendous strides in the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the military sphere in the past decade and this through several notable high-profile designs (including its TAI "Anka" line detailed elsewhere on this site). The next logical step becomes indigenous design, development, and manufacture of a combat-capable (UCAV) able to deliver precision munitions at altitude and range. This role is set to be fulfilled by the Baykar Makina "Akinci" which was unveiled at its assembly facility in mid-2018. As it stands, the company hopes to record a first-flight in 2020 and begin deliveries in 2021.
The design carries a twin-turboprop propulsion scheme (each engine driving five-bladed propeller units). The engines are set outboard of a centralized fuselage structure. The wing mainplanes are cranked upwards towards the engine mounts and sport winglets at their tips as a fuel-efficiency measure. A single vertical tailfin is featured at the rear of the aircraft. The frontal section of the fuselage houses the optics (Aselsan Cats) and avionics fit. Under each wing will be three hardpoints (totaling six weapon stations in all) and these will be cleared to carry and deliver in-service Turkish Air Force ordnance such as Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) as well as Mk 82-type conventional and precision-guided drop bombs. Full SATellite COMmunications (SATCOM) will be featured in the design. The external carrying capacity is set to become up to 900 kilograms with an internal option for an additional 450 kilograms.
