The road transport and highways ministry issued new guidelines for carmakers. Now carmakers will have to provide Safety Features like airbags, seatbelt reminder system, speed-warning systems and vehicle reverse gear sensors for child pedestrian safety as standard equipment from October 2017.
The move will ensure that Indian cars will follow the global path as far as safety parameters are concerned. The government has also asked comments from the auto companies for the same. “These four safety features would be mandatory for all car models.
The road transport and highways ministry issued a draft notification on Wednesday for new guidelines. Speed alert will warn vehicles if they exceed 80 km per hour and then a continuous audio alert if speed exceeds 100 kmph.
The government is planing to set up its own safety authority, Bharat National Car Assessment Programme (NCAP). NCAP will rate vehicles on safety parameters. India will also have a rating system for cars based on fuel efficiency. Bharat NCAP will also mandate the front of the vehicle be designed in such a way that injury to pedestrians is minimized.
The road transport and highways ministry has set deadline of October 2017 for new model cars to pass minimum frontal and side crash tests besides pedestrian protection tests. The frontal crash tests will be at 64 kmph, while the speed norm set for side crash tests is 50 kmph.

If you drive north of Raleigh for about four hours, you will come to a spot on an interstate highway where two people recently lost their lives. According to Virginia State Police, the two were killed in a violent tractor-trailer crash on I-81 in Roanoke County.
Law enforcement officials have charged the 38-year-old truck driver with reckless driving after the four-vehicle wreck at 6 p.m.
According to officials, the trucker failed to bring his 18-wheeler to a halt before it slammed into two stopped passenger cars and another big rig. The vehicles had stopped for traffic, police said.
One of the drivers was a 51-year-old man who sustained fatal injuries in the crash. He died after being transported to a nearby hospital. The other victim was a 64-year-old man who likewise sustained fatal injuries and died at the hospital.
Both of the truck drivers in the crashes were uninjured.
While we do not yet know why the truck driver failed to notice the stopped vehicles, we do know what has happened in many similarly horrific wrecks. Common causes of these types of crashes include the following:
- Fatigue: far too often overworked and under-rested truckers cause violent crashes when drowsiness impairs their ability to reason, react and drive safely.
- Excess speed: in some cases, the 18-wheelers are driven too fast for conditions and cannot stop in time.
- Distraction: drivers who pay attention to phones or in-dash electronics instead of traffic are at fault in more and more crashes around the nation
- Impairment: drunk and drugged driving continues to ruin lives
If you or a loved one has been harmed in a tractor-trailer accident, contact a Raleigh law firm experienced in personal injury litigation.

Graduating From NYU, James Franco Snapped in Blue Gown
James Franco has earned a master's degree in filmmaking. The "127 Hours" actor graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts on Monday, May 16, and a fellow graduate took a photo of him standing among his peers in a traditional purple robe and black mortarboard.
The graduation ceremony won't be James' last appearance on the campus. The 33-year-old Oscar nominee is expected to return as a graduate instructor at the university's Kanbar Institute of Film & Television in the fall. New York Daily News reported he will be advising students on how to make a film adaptation of a Louise Gluck poem.
Having graduated from UCLA with an undergraduate degree in English in June 2008, James got a degree in creative writing from Columbia University, and studied poetry at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina. He currently works towards a Ph.D. in English at Yale, and will begin his doctoral program in literature and creative writing at University of Houston in fall 2012.
Speaking of his love for school, the "Your Highness" actor told People Magazine last year, "I go to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I'm interested in and I'm having a great experience." He explained further, "School is a way to take my other pursuits like directing and writing seriously."

text: We aimed to estimate the value of structured interviews, medical records and Swedish register diagnoses for assessing lifetime diagnosis of patients with schizophrenia. Psychiatric records and diagnostic interviews of 143 Swedish patients diagnosed by their treating physician with schizophrenia and related disorders were scrutinized. Based on record analysis only, or a combined record and interview analysis, DSM-IV diagnoses were obtained by the OPCRIT algorithm. Independent of the OPCRIT algorithm, a standard research DSM-IV diagnosis, based on both record and interview analysis, was given by the research psychiatrist. Concordance rates for the different psychosis diagnoses were calculated. DSM-IV diagnoses based on records only, showed a good to excellent agreement with diagnoses based on records and interviews. Swedish register diagnoses displayed generally poor agreement with the research diagnoses. Nevertheless, 94% of subjects sometimes registered with a diagnosis of schizophrenic psychoses (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective psychosis or schizophreniform disorder) displayed a standard research DSM-IV diagnosis of these disorders. For patients in long-term treatment for schizophrenia in Sweden, psychiatric record reviews should be optimal, cost effective and sufficient for assessment of lifetime research diagnoses of schizophrenia. For these patients a research interview adds little new information. The results further indicate that a Swedish register diagnosis of schizophrenic psychoses has a high positive predictive power to a standard research DSM-IV diagnosis of the disorders. It is concluded that for future Swedish large-scale genetic studies focusing on a broad definition of schizophrenia, it would be sufficient to rely on the Swedish register diagnoses of schizophrenic psychosis.

S. Ing, Singapore
“I always love honey as it provides my sugar fix in a natural way. What’s more that I am always told by health labels and promoters that honey is beneficial to health and helps me with my sore throat. Hence I have been taking Manuka honey for a long time and giving to my son as well. To be honest, none of the health benefits was actually experienced by me or my 5 year old son but we continue taking it since we have sweet teeth and maybe I was hoping there could be hidden benefits somehow. I would also try any other honey claiming to be pure honey but actually they taste more or less the same like a sugary drink.
By chance, a friend I make introduced me to Melipoly’s stingless bee honey. It actually tastes a little sourish. Interestingly the taste of this honey is really refreshing much unlike the usual honey I have been taking. After taking it, I find myself passing out gas and having a much easier time in my bowel movement. It is like a pleasant detox effect! Strangely my hubby who tends to have lose stools easily did not end up in diarrhea after taking the honey. Instead his bowels becomes more regulated. My needless to say also benefited similarly.
I further tried Melipoly’s Apis Cerana and Multifloral honey with the same effects! Hence I discover to my delight I have found a very pure form of honey in the market and at affordable prices! I still enjoy testing and trying other honeys especially at food fairs but to date I have yet to find the same quality as Melipoly’s honey. It is still the best quality and value for my buck!”

Buildings going up fast at former Testa's site
Window installation begins Monday
Buildings at the former Testa’s restaurant site in the 200 block of Royal Poinciana Way in Palm Beach are quickly coming to fruition.
Work is ahead of schedule on the 1.3-acre site and is set to finish in early 2020, according to Cody Crowell, managing director of construction for the Frisbie Group. Each of the six buildings in the complex will have two floors: a restaurant and shops on the bottom, and a luxury condominium on the top. The first, second and third buildings face Royal Poinciana Way, and the other three buildings face Sunset Avenue.
Window frames have gone in for the retail and residential spaces in the first building, which is located on the eastern side of the site, and window installation will begin Monday, Crowell said Thursday.
Crews from Coastal Construction Group of South Florida Inc. have begun installing roof sheathing and waterproofing window openings on the second building. Next week, the building shell will be completed to block rain and wind from coming inside.
Workers also flew trusses Thursday for the third building, which will house the restaurant, Crowell said. Crews are currently working on masonry, exterior block walls and second-level concrete decks for the fourth, fifth and sixth buildings.
"Construction is going well and we are incredibly happy," Crowell wrote in an email.
At the end of December, Flagler Holdings North Carolina Inc., an affiliate of The Breakers, paid $20 million for the site's retail and restaurant space, which the resort will operate. The Frisbie Group still owns the condominiums.
Testa's restaurant closed in July 2017 after 96 years in Palm Beach. Construction on the site began later that year.

Over the last several months, Penn State football coach James Franklin has expressed his displeasure about playing Friday night at Illinois and playing regular season games on any day but Saturday.
This week, though, Franklin has refrained from airing his grievances about the 10th-ranked Nittany Lions’ Big Ten opener Friday night at 9 (TV-FS1; WEEU-AM/830).
“We’re not talking about this week any other way than this is game week,” he said Tuesday. “I do not like talking about it any different than that because I think it has a psychological effect. And we won’t do that.”
Penn State hasn’t played a regular season game on a Friday since 1982, when the Lions beat Pittsburgh 19-10 on the day after Thanksgiving before winning their first national championship.
They haven’t had less than a week between games since defeating Miami (Fla.) 17-8 at the Orange Bowl on a Friday night in 1967, Joe Paterno’s second season as head coach.
“We’ve got the same amount of days to get ready that Illinois does,” Franklin said. “I kind of voiced some of my thoughts before this week started. But now that it’s this week, this is game week for us.”
Penn State (3-0) routed Kent State 63-10 Saturday at Beaver Stadium. The same day, Illinois (2-1) lost to South Florida 25-19 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The Lions normally take Mondays off, but they practiced two days ago and will travel to Champaign Thursday.
“I don’t think it’s much of an adjustment,” senior safety Nick Scott said. “It’s a regular game week for us. We’re approaching it that way. Nothing to my knowledge has changed for us. It’s just moved up a day.”
Stevens, Reid update: Penn State coach James Franklin strongly hinted that backup quarterback Tommy Stevens will make his season debut at Illinois.
Stevens suffered a foot injury early in preseason camp and has not played. He was in uniform the last two games and participated fully in pregame drills before the win over Kent State.
“If we needed Tommy last week, we could have played him,” Franklin said. “We were probably just being a little more cautious than we probably need to be.
“We expect to have all three of those guys (quarterbacks Trace McSorley, Sean Clifford and Stevens) available for the game this week that happens to be on Friday.”
Franklin also made it sound like cornerback John Reid, who sustained a shoulder injury in the opener, will play against Illinois. He has not played since the fourth quarter of the overtime win over Appalachian State.
“Yeah,” he said. “We expect John back.”
Lutz recognized: Penn State sophomore wide receiver Isaac Lutz, a former Berks Catholic standout, was recognized by the coaching staff as a special teams player of the week.
The 5-11, 186-pound Lutz made two tackles on kick coverage against Kent State and had a key block on KJ Hamler’s 33-yard punt return. He shared the award with Hamler, who also had a 52-yard kickoff return.
The coaches named quarterback Trace McSorley as the offensive player of the week and end Shareef Miller as the defensive player of the week.
Upon further review: Penn State center Michal Menet, the former Exeter standout, was flagged for a holding penalty on the second play of the win over Kent State.
The call wiped out Trace McSorley’s 56-yard touchdown pass to KJ Hamler, but coach James Franklin said he feels the officials made a mistake after reviewing film.
“The one holding penalty was not a holding penalty,” Franklin said. “It looked like it. Menet got called for it. If you watch the play, Menet got locked up on the guy (nose tackle Kalil Morris), and the guard comes over and knocks the nose over.
“If you just see the end of the play, you think Menet pulled him down. But what really happened is the guard just came in and cleaned him up. In my opinion that was not a penalty.”

(TriceEdneyWire.com) – It was an impressive gathering of spiritual leaders from denominations that rarely mingle together or remain separated by ideology. However, the Washington Interfaith Network (WIN) successfully collaborated with faith leaders from around the District to come together for a common cause – jobs and affordable housing.
Muslims, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Catholics, Presbyterians and non-denominational leaders joined forces to address the District’s growing
unemployment rate and insufficient units of affordable housing.
The gathering held on Dec. 5 at the historic Metropolitan AME Church was filled with residents eagerly waiting to receive directions for action. WIN members demand that $45 million from the city’s surplus be allocated towards employment and affordable housing by Jan. 17, 2012 or pressure for a citywide a moratorium on subsidies for major development projects will occur.

Just seven weeks after giving birth to her daughter and nine (or so) months of incredible maternity fashion, Kerry Washington made an adorable post-baby debut.
The "Scandal" star, better known as Olivia Pope, hit the red carpet for the Women in Film 2014 Crystal + Lucy Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Wearing a fun black-and-paint-splattered Max Mara dress, the 37-year-old paired her look with funky orange and candy-like Louboutin heels and a silver clutch.
With a few rings on her fingers and a plunging neckline, the Emmy-nominated actress had wavy curls, dark liner, silver eyeshadow and brightly coloured orange lips.
The new mom was joined by fellow leading ladies in entertainment, including Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne and Eva Longoria, according to Celebuzz. Women In Film, a non-profit organization, honours women going above and beyond in the industry.

The History of The Music
by Aaron Walden
In the 1790's a new method of printing the music was invented which printed a different shape of note head for each of the four syllables. Shape note singing was thus born.
During the first half of the 1800's shape note singing schools became popular in the frontier regions, especially the south and central states. Popular Nineteenth Century shape note books included: Southern Harmony, Sacred Harp, Missouri Harmony, and New Harp of Columbia. Of these, perhaps Southern Harmony had the most overall impact. It introduced, for the first time, such perpetual favorites as Bound for the Promised Land, Wondrous Love, and the present setting of Amazing Grace.
In the mid-1800's Akin introduced an updated form of shape notation that added shapes for do, re, and ti (or si). With the new notation, the Italian system, do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti (or si), do, was used. William Walker, publisher of Southern Harmony used a modified form of the seven-shape system for a new book, Christian Harmony, in the era immediately following the War Between the States. Those who preferred the old four-shape method, mostly used Sacred Harp, which to this day is still using the four-shape system. An interesting thing to note is that the first singing-convention was held by Sacred Harp publisher B. F. White in the mid-1800's.
In the post-war era, Dwight L. Moody began evangelizing across America and Britain. With his revivals came a new kind of hymnody. It wasn't really new, but it laid a stronger emphasis on major-key music, and had an evangelistic tone. From the shape-note tradition it inherited the chorus, repeated after each verse, and the themes of pilgrimage, and testimony. They had a popular series of hymnals entitled Gospel Hymns, therefore the style was known as Gospel music.
In the South, such publishers as Anthony J. Showalter and James Vaughan introduced Southern Gospel music. They utilized the shape note singing school method, publishing their books taller than wide, and their hymns on only two staffs (the older shape note books had been oblong with three parts written on three staffs). The new format facilitated the use of instruments, a practice of the D. L. Moody revivals. A good example of early shape note Southern Gospel music is Showalter's Leaning on the Everlasting Arms one of the world's most well-known hymns. Another example is the Gospel style arrangement of Bound For the Promised Land (which can be heard at the Cyber Hymnal, which has a link below). Compare this with the older minor-key arrangement found in the Southern Harmony (also linked below).
James Vaughan claimed to have invented the Gospel quartet in 1895. By the use of the quartets Southern Gospel publishers promoted their music to the people.

Akron Beacon Journal (OH)
Tuesday, November 28, 2000
Author: Dennis McEaneney, Beacon Journal staff writer
An armed man who vowed that police who tried to take him would “need a coroner” was arrested after he fell asleep while on the phone with a police negotiator.
Springfield Township police said that an eight-hour standoff which began after Richard Thomas went berserk, firing off a shotgun in his house to chase off his two sons and wife, ended when a police negotiator heard snoring coming from Thomas’ phone line.
No one ended up being injured, police said, and Thomas was charged with domestic menacing. Felony charges involving illegal possession of and discharging a weapon are expected to be added.
But, police said, it could have turned out much differently.
After Thomas’ arrest, police said they found that Thomas had barricaded windows and doors inside his home with mattresses and tables.
A 12-gauge shotgun loaded with a buckshot and a loaded .22-caliber rifle with a telescopic sight were also found inside the home.
“He barricaded himself in for a confrontation, no doubt about that,” said township Police Chief Carl Blasdel.
Police said Thomas was in a fighting mood Sunday after his wife told him to ease off on the booze and drugs.
Police said two gunshots cleared Thomas’ house and a third shot, fired at police a few hours later, emphasized Thomas’s warning: “Things could get ugly.”
Thomas, 42, had prior arrests for domestic violence, information police used to decide how to deal with him, Blasdel said.
In August 1996, Thomas was convicted of domestic violence, a misdemeanor.
In July, Thomas was charged with domestic violence and felonious assault but the felony charge was dropped and Thomas was convicted of a first-degree misdemeanor.
A teen-age daughter moved out of the house over the July incident, Blasdel added.
Neither Rebecca Thomas, Richard Thomas’s wife, nor his 19-year-old son, Rick, could be reached yesterday for comment.
A neighbor who lives near the Thomases said no one was at home all day yesterday at their Linnway Drive home.
Blasdel and Capt. David Hoover gave this account of Sunday’s events:
Sometime Sunday morning, Richard and Rebecca Thomas argued over Richard’s drinking and use of Prozac and a painkiller he was prescribed after recent back surgery.
Richard Thomas remained upset after his wife left the home to go out.
Rick Thomas and a younger brother were watching football on TV when Richard Thomas told his sons to get out. They went to their rooms instead.
A while later, the sons heard a gunshot and found that their father had a shotgun. The blast went completely through the closet and into an adjacent room.
Rick Thomas grabbed his younger brother and the two sons left the house.
When Rebecca Thomas returned home about 3 p.m., she found her husband angrier and more aggressive than he had been earlier.
Richard Thomas told his wife to get out and fired a shot into a ceiling. Rebecca Thomas left and called police.
Capt. Hoover phoned the home and Richard Thomas said, “I’m not coming out and don’t you try to come in.”
A SWAT team arrived about 3:45 p.m. and took up positions around the house. When a negotiator phoned the home, Thomas hung up several times but eventually stayed on the line.
Blasdel said Thomas initially told the negotiator, “The only way I’m coming out is on a stretcher and you (police) will need the coroner.”
Just before dark, an officer heard a shot, saw a muzzle flash and heard a bullet whiz over his head.
Thomas asked the negotiator, “Did I kill that officer I shot at?”
Police decided to wait to see what developed, Blasdel said.
About 11:30 p.m., the negotiator heard what sounded like snoring at the other end of the phone line.
Using a key provided by Rebecca Thomas, officers unlocked a door, went inside the home and took Richard Thomas into custody.
Blasdel said it appeared Thomas had been drinking and taking pills throughout the standoff.
Thomas was taken to Akron City Hospital where he is being held until the effects of alcohol and drugs have worn off, Blasdel said.
A hospital spokeswoman said Thomas is in an intensive care unit but his condition is not listed.

Here’s the first full trailer for Gear.Club Unlimited, the upcoming Nintendo Switch racing game from Eden Games.
It’s fair to say that the Nintendo Switch is not wanting for games right now. With at least one big release hitting retail every month, plus a wealth of indie treasures already available on the eShop – and in the pipeline – most Switch owners should be pretty satisfied.
What the Switch lacks, however, are games that compare with some of the big first-party exclusives on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It might have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but where is its Forza or Gran Turismo?
Step forward Eden Games with Gear.Club Unlimited.
The game promises to bring authentic car racing to the Switch, with a roster of officially-licensed super cars. The game’s debut Switch trailer gives a sneak peek of what’s in store, and Eden Games have a released a list of the first 16 super cars that will make up the game’s roster.
Gear.Club Unlimited – initial car roster
- AC – 378 GT Z
- Alfa Romeo – 4C
- Alfa Romeo – 8C Competizione
- Bugatti – Veyron GrandSport
- Chevrolet – Camaro 1LS
- Chevrolet – Corvette Stingray
- Dodge – Challenger RT/Scat Pack
- Jaguar – F-Type R AWD
- Mercedes-AMG – C63 S
- Mercedes-AMG – GT S
- Mercedes-AMG – SLS Black Series
- Nissan – 370Z
- Nissan – GTR
- Pagani – Huayra Roadster
- Ruf – RT12 R
- Ruf – CTR 3
Gear.Club Unlimited includes over 400 races, spread across three distinct modes: 1v7 Derby, four driver Rally, and a time trial mode. As seen in the trailer, the game also includes a wealth of vehicle customisation options.
The game certainly looks promising, but there is one big consideration… it’s a mobile port. This shouldn’t necessarily be a mark against the game, but it will be interesting to see how Gear.Club Unlimited feels when shorn of its in-app purchases, and how it plays using a traditional controller.
There’s definitely a space on the Switch for a more seriously minded racing game, so although it’s unlikely to best Forza Motorsport 7 we have our fingers crossed.
Gear.Club Unlimited will be available on December 1st for the Nintendo Switch, and is available now on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

The pain suffered by a child during paediatric care may influence how they experience the sensation when they are older, according to new research.
Professor Anna Murphy, working with a graduate student in her Georgia State University class Jamie LaPrairie, studied the reaction that adult animals had when injured and compared their endogenous opioid levels with animals that were injured at birth.
The test subjects that were hurt during birth had double the level of endogenous opioid and so were less sensitive to pain.
Professor Murphy pointed out that pain is necessary warning sign in life and these results suggest hospitals may need to increase the use of post-operative medicine on infants.
She added: "It's imperative that pain be treated. We once assumed that a newborn infant is insensitive to pain, and this is clearly not the case."
A recent study at the University of California indicated that babies should be screened for excess bilirubin in their blood, as it can help prevent jaundice.

Lord Mayor Clover Moore has released a bold new plan to jump start Sydney's nightlife and economy.
The proposed changes are outlined in the City of Sydney's draft late-night trading planning controls, revealing some of the biggest changes to red tape and city planning in a decade.
The proposals include:
- extending 24-hour trading across the entire city centre (CBD)
- allowing shops, businesses and low-impact food and drink venues on high streets to trade until 2am
- new late-night trading areas in some of the city's fastest-growing neighbourhoods, such as Barangaroo and Green Square
- a new cultural precinct in an industrial part of Alexandria
- allowing venues that hold performances and creative events in late-night trading areas to trade for an extra hour.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the proposed changes were the result of an unprecedented response from the community to the City of Sydney's first review in over a decade of the planning controls that determine where, when and until what time night-time activity can take place in Sydney.
"More than 10,000 people gave us their feedback and the overwhelming majority said they want Sydney to have a diverse and exciting night-time economy with events and activities for people of all ages and interests," the Lord Mayor said.
"What they do not want is a city that is unsafe or that shuts down as soon as the sun goes down.
"The changes we are proposing to our controls manage the balance between allowing well-managed venues to continue to trade, and any impacts on local neighbourhoods.
"They respond to the very strong demand for a thriving, late-night city and set the foundations for a truly 24-hour Sydney into the future.
"This is important because Sydney's night-time economy is critical to our city's future, employing over 35,000 people and worth more than $4 billion to the NSW economy each year."
The key proposals in the draft development control plan are:
- A 24-hour city centre - a zone where businesses can trade 24 hours a day would stretch from Darling Harbour in the west to Hyde Park in the east and Central Station in the south. Most venues in this area can currently trade until 5am. Allowing 24-hour trading across the entire city centre (CBD) may reduce issues such as crowding, queuing and noise at existing hotspots. These businesses will also be able to take advantage of the city centre light rail and the future Sydney Metro, which will operate 21 hours a day and include four stops in the new zone.
- Later hours in local centres - trading hours for businesses along village main streets such as Crown Street, Redfern Street, Union Street and Glebe Point Road would be extended from 12am to 2am, to align with recent changes to NSW small bar laws. The new trading hours would only apply if patrons enter and exit the venue from a main street and not a laneway or residential area. This proposal supports the strong community desire for more late-night options in local areas.
- New areas for new communities - new late-night trading areas would be established in some of the city's fastest-growing neighbourhoods, including Barangaroo, the Green Square town centre, Danks Street in Waterloo and around the East Village shopping centre in Zetland. The proposed trading hours for businesses in these new areas vary depending on type, capacity and potential impact.
- Extended hours for unlicensed businesses - a new category of trading hours would be established for unlicensed shops, like bookstores and clothing shops, and businesses, like banks, drycleaners and hairdressers. This would allow them to trade up to 24 hours a day in the city centre and other busy inner-city areas, until 2am on village high streets, and until midnight in other areas. Later trading hours for these types of businesses would attract a wider range of people out at night for different activities, helping create a safer and more balanced night-time economy.
- A new cultural precinct in Alexandria - a new 24-hour trading area with an arts, cultural and entertainment focus would be encouraged in a heritage warehouse precinct in north Alexandria, between McEvoy Street to the north and Alexandra Canal to the south. The area's industrial character, proximity to existing and future public transport services, and distance from residential areas make it ideal for live performance, creative and cultural uses.
- Expanding existing areas - existing late-night trading areas in Chippendale, Redfern, west Surry Hills and Llankelly Place in Potts Point would be expanded to include nearby streets with a similar character and businesses that have opened since the controls were last reviewed. Low-impact venues in these areas would be able to trade until 2am providing entry and exit is onto a main street.
- Additional hours for performance and culture - dedicated performance venues would be allowed up to 250 patrons and be permitted one additional trading hour at closing time on a trial period basis. All other licensed venues that host performances would be permitted one additional trading hour at closing time on nights when they provide at least 45 minutes of performance.
CEO of Sydney Fringe Festival and co-chair of the City's nightlife and creative sector advisory panel, Kerri Glasscock, welcomed the proposals.
"These draft planning controls reflect the changing needs of our city and acknowledge that our work hours and our lives are different than they once were," Ms Glasscock said.
"The dream of a vibrant and diverse night-time offering can only be made possible with regulatory reform. For too long, small businesses and the cultural sector have been actively prohibited by regulation.
"It's wonderful to see a local council proposing changes that actively encourage diverse and unique offerings not only in the CBD but on our village high streets.
"While the night-time economy is important to the financial wellbeing of our city, it also makes up the fabric of who we are as a city, our local stories and the unique offerings we have for our residents and visitors.
"Sydney is an incredible city, filled with wonderful voices, and it is imperative we enable it to reach its potential as one of the great cities of the world through supportive policy like this."
The draft planning controls will be considered by Council on 19 November. If approved, they will be on public exhibition from 27 November to 8 February at cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/council/your-say
If the proposals are adopted, businesses will need to apply for the new trading hours through a development application process. Changes will be subject to the NSW Government's lockout laws where they apply.

Crabgrass (Digitaria, D. sanguinalis) runs rampant throughout the United States. Crabgrass germinates when the ground temperature reaches
a sustained 55 degrees and forms conspicuous, large patchy clumps in lawns, ornamental landscapes, and vegetable gardens. There are as many as 300 different species of Digitaria. The most common forms in the US are smooth crabgrass and large crabgrass.
Smooth and Large Crabgrass
Smooth crabgrass begins to germinate when the ground temperature reaches 55 degrees and if left unmowed, will grow to a height of about 6 inches. But even when mowed low, smooth crabgrass will spread by dropping seed pods that will continue to germinate throughout the season.
Smooth Crabgrass leaves are smooth and 1/4 inch wide by 5 inches long and the light green color makes it stand out in your lawn. Ugly!
Large Crabgrass is a low-growing, summer nuisance that spreads by dropping seed pods and, like smooth crabgrass, if left unchecked will continue to germinate and spread throughout the growing season. Unmowed, it can reach heights of up to two feet, however, it will not tolerate a close mowing. Large crabgrass leaves are light green, hairy and up to five inches long.
Pre- and Post-Emergent Control of Crabgrass
Crabgrass continues to flourish throughout the growing season by immediately dropping seed pods upon emergence. A successful program to eliminate crabgrass requires BOTH a pre-emergent and post-emergent solution. When the constant ground temperature reaches 55 degrees, crabgrass will begin to emerge. Consult our Crabgrass Germination Map for information in your neck of the woods. A pre-emergent solution such as Prodiamine 65 must be applied before the germination process begins. With a barricade of Prodiamine applied at a rate of 2-3 tablespoons per gallon of water for every 1,000 square feet, you will establish a strong first-line of defense that will last for 3-4 months. For complete information, please consult the Prodiamine Label. Please note that Prodiamine, and most pre-emergent solutions are non-selective, which means that both desirable (grass) and undesirable (weeds) seeds will be sterilized as they emerge. Make sure that your lawn is “established” before applying Prodiamine. Once a lawn has been mowed 2-3 times, it is deemed established. While pre-emergent solutions provide a very strong first line of defense, despite your best efforts, some weeds will emerge. Chalk it up to Mother Nature and the wind. When crabgrass has popped through, it’s time to move to your post-emergent game plan. As a general rule, going after young weeds will produce better results than waiting for them to establish and toughen. When the temperature is above 70 degrees, an effective post-emergent product like MSMA 6 Plus can be used to kill crabgrass. Applied at a rate of one ounce to a gallon of water per 1,000 square feet, MSMA will kill crabgrass, dallisgrass, sandburrs and many other tough broadleaf weeds. For a complete kill, two applications should be made, about 15-20 days apart. MSMA 6 Plus contains a surfactant that will help adhere the solution to the crabgrass leaves, and should be applied when the temperature is between 70-95 degrees. Another outstanding solution to control post-emergent crabgrass is Quinclorac 75.

For example, if there is no permission of road parking, the HOA would declare a notice and then impose a penalty on a tenant who parked his vehicle on the road. The association imposes all homeowners a payment to pay for the maintenance of the HOA and to manage a capital reserve for society repairs. However, handling of all HOAs is not apt. And not everyone is an absolute fit for dwelling in an HOA organization. An investigation is necessary for anyone thinking of purchasing an estate in a homeowners association. Here’s what you should know:
Find out the laws of the HOA
Since the HOA will be attending to assure that you are obeying the rules, it is certainly imperative that you are aware of those laws. Several HOAs will set their laws registered online, but not all associations will do the same.
Your Broker should be responsible to get you a draft of the laws and help you ascertain what they necessitate. You should comprehend not only the laws but what follows if you violate those laws—such as the penalties that will be levied against you.
Some HOAs can actually confiscate your assets if you violate the laws or decline to settle your rents, so you unquestionably require to identify if this is the situation with your specific HOA.
You should also keep a check on how to append or amend laws. You can accompany HOA gatherings as a member. If this benefits you, confirm that the meetings are held at a time that accords you.
Can you rent your property?
Whether you can lease out your estate is an essential question you should ask in the first instance. Can you picture yourself purchasing an investment estate only to learn that the association does not enable you to contract it? There can be limitations set within homeowners’ communities that bound the figure of rental premises. This can be beneficial or harmful based on what front of the fencing you are assembling on.
Be aware about the fee criteria
When buying into a homeowners association and particularly an apartment area, it is necessary to investigate crucial inquiries. Some of the most significant enigmas will focus on the fees you will advance. You will be asked to pay the regular fees, so it is beneficial notion to understand what that involves. You are required to perceive things like:
- How do the expenses correspond to other societies?
- How to increase the fees?
- When did the prices increase the last point?
- What do your dues incorporate? Is there any extra charge?
- How do special evaluations operate? How much do they manage to cost and how often do they happen?
- To what degree significant is the reserve capital of the HOA?
Talk to prevailing members.
You can get a genuine opinion of what dwelling within the HOA is like by chatting to a few of your intended next-door-neighbor. Keep in mind that there are a number of causes why someone could be agitated with the HOA, not all of which are legitimate. That is why you should speak to at least three or four separate proprietors. This to obtain a more precise understanding of what it is like to administer with the homeowners association all the time
Many suggests to get notice of what we call the moments from the recent few conferences.
Some essential things to consider are:
- Is there any yesterday or prevailing disputes with any of the homeowners?
- How to reform these disputes?
- Are there any unfinished prosecutions against the community?
- Has the HOA accused any of the current landlords? If so why?
Look for signs of over-management and under-management.
Expect fine stability for an HOA to suit you just accurately. An over-managed HOA is going to be oppressive and difficult to trade with, but it can be just as frustrating to manage with an under-managed HOA.
If the HOA is not performing its duty, then there is a definite chance that your estate cost and quality of living could be negatively influenced.
Purpose of Homeowner Association:
- Assures to value and maintain the common claims and interests of homeowners.
- It is the most economic form of representational government. Bystanders choose the administrators to administer in the most salutary benefit of all inhabitants.
- Administers assistance and facilities to tenants preserve estate value and adhere to the established expectations of landowners.
- Encourages a pure spirit of fellowship, effective homeowner engagement, and practice of building accord.
- Homeowners have the liberty to select their society heads and to utilize the democratic method to ascertain the strategies that will guard their purchases.
- Homeowners decide where to settle and affirm a contractual obligation. This is after abiding by authorized plans and meet their financial responsibilities to the community.
- Managers preserve the community’s commercial well-being by using stabilized management manners and reliable business policies.
- Leaders have a juridical and moral responsibility to obey the association’s commanding records and dwell by all relevant rules and regulations.
- Managers seek efficient stability between the decisions of individual inhabitants and the common claims of homeowners.
- Managers and tenants should be consistent, adaptable, and open to the opportunity and advantages of give-and-take.
Determining what the end goal of an HOA is can assist you to comprehend if it’s the correct fit for you. But because each one is distinctive, study as much as you can about the laws and charges before fixing a proposal on the estate and weigh the pros and cons of Homeowners association residing in that community. You might have to comply with several laws established. Entering the committee can assist you to make adjustments over time.

Last year many stars and well-wishers came together to celebrate Jennifer Garner's 50th birthday.
Jennifer Garner marked her 50th birthday with a party that she called a "wedding for me", however for this year's birthday, she decided to keep it low-key and sweet. The actress sat down for a chat with Extra recently and talked about how it felt to be 51 in a candid interview.
"I mean 51 is a lot less exciting than 50," the actress said, adding she was "going to plant trees" with friends. She is planning to keep everything under wraps and did not really reveal who she would plant trees with. Last year many stars and well-wishers including Reese Witherspoon, Rita Wilson, Maria Shriver, and Ina Garten came together to celebrate their friend's 50th.

Garner said that she wanted to do the role as soon as she heard that Julia Roberts was no longer doing it. She also talked about the letter-writing campaign that ended up being a success in helping her get the role.
"I just wrote how I felt and why, you know, why this resonated with me, and it's not something I had done — certainly in recent memory and, or if ever — and I just kind of put it all out there. And luckily for me, I had an advocate in Reese [Witherspoon, who is an executive producer], I had an advocate in Laura and Josh, or advocates in Laura and, Josh and then Lauren Neustadter, our producer. So, I was very lucky to be here," she explained.

Trained by LeRoy Jolley, Genuine Risk won the Kentucky Derby by a length in 1980, joining 1915 Derby winner Regret as the second filly to win the Derby. Winning Colors became the third in 1988. Genuine Risk, who finished second in the Preakness and Belmont, remains the only filly to finish in the money in all three Triple Crown races. Her defeat in the Preakness was controversial, coming after jockey Angel Cordero Jr. allowed eventual winner Codex to drift out, carrying Genuine Risk wide on the turn for home just as she was challenging. She lost by 4 3/4 lengths. Adding to the controversy, Genuine Risk's rider, Jacinto Vasquez, lodged a foul against Cordero, claiming that Cordero also had hit Genuine Risk on the head while whipping Codex right-handed. But the stewards let the order of finish stand. "It's hard to say whether she'd have won," Jolley said. "Obviously, Codex ran very well that day, and she certainly didn't benefit from the incident. It had to cost her a pretty good amount. But whether she could have won or not, who knows? I would like to have seen it done in a normal manner, and we'd have had a lot better answer." Bred by Mrs. G. Watts Humphrey Jr. in Kentucky, Genuine Risk sold to the Firestones as a yearling for $32000 at Fasig-Tipton's 1978 summer yearling sale. The Firestones initially did not have her on their list until their son Matthew, 14 at the time, told them he thought she deserved a look. Matthew helped break Genuine Risk later that year at ...

Marvin Pitts Lightened Bolt Carrier
If anyoneís read any of my posts regarding my thoughts on the ACR youíre aware that, while Bushmaster sucks, I believe the ACR is the only rifle that truly replaces the AR platform. Personally since buying the ACR, I canít stand using my AR anymore. As Iíve gotten deeper and deeper into 3 gun and other competitions I find the ACR excels there as well. In order to increase support I would like it to be more widely used. I demo my rifle whenever possible, sometimes to some decently famous people, but I always seem to get the same thing; everyone loves the feel but it canít be modded in the way the AR can for competition. Most believe itíll never be able to take off because of the lack of support. Itís hard to blame them since FN comes to every match with a custom truck and trailer and custom SCARS while Remington usually only has the one ACR and personal vehicles. So Iíve been trying to contact companies about addressing the parts most often brought up.
One of the biggies brought up to me a lot is the fact that you can buy lightened bolt carries for ARs. So I brought it up on here in my barrel tread after seeing some Remington guys with the bolt lightened. It seemed to get a lot of positive reactions so I brought it up to Marvin Pitts. He seemed really interested in the idea as well as a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than me lol. So I sent him my bolt carrier assembly and all of the photos I took of the Remington bolt. I got it back just in time to test at the last major matches of the season including the 3 Gun Nation match at Rockcastle.
My current setup for the test is a 14Ē(ish) recontoured and fluted barrel with a pinned Surefire brake and the gas port opened to .625, done by Marvin Pitts. Iím using the Geissele Super Three Gun trigger and a Vortex Razor HDII 1-6x scope. The bolt carrier was cut down decently lighter and the recoil spring was kept the same.
I just got back from my last match of the season and so far so good. I've fired 690 rounds so far with 50 suppressed, in 3 matches and 2 training sessions. Some of the tests and matches were under pretty extreme conditions, one match had pretty severe rain, mud, and wind that eventually even turned into hail and a tornado near the match, another was icy, muddy and below freezing (around 20 degrees) that stopped up quite a few competitorsí guns and, for a bit, my shotgun. Also almost all rounds were fired fairly rapidly with the exception of some long range shots. I used 3 different types of ammo, one type was low velocity, like I said 50 rounds were suppressed and it functions very well with every type of ammo suppressed or unsuppressed.
I noticed a very large reduction in recoil. Even at 100yrds I managed to stay on target with decently high rate of fire. During practice I shot a 100 yard steel 8" swinger target at a rate of 1-2 rounds per second, all rounds stayed on target and hit. I actually feel like I could have gone faster because the dot never really left the target at all, it just kind of wiggled a tiny bit.
The only malfunctions I experienced were some stovepipes I traced to a bad ejector spring, and a partial/incomplete bolt lock where the bolt locked back on the magazine instead of the mag stop release once the mag was empty. It happened only once during the last match, slow firing at long range targets when it was 18 degrees with 15 mph winds. I'm not sure if this was a gas issue, due to the cold, or just a random thing.
I included a breakdown of the round counts as well as some pictures. I noted the conditions of the tests in the PDF attachment.

After 690 rounds, no signs of fatigue or odd wear and tear on either the rifle or the carrier group. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8d67fe22.jpg http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7e5dc201.jpg http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps00190521.jpg

Only malfunction. Not sure what caused it, but it was only once. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...psc740d4f8.jpg

Learn Carnatic Flute | Annamacharya Keerthanas - Vol 5
What you'll learn
- Students can develop their own skills in playing these compositions
- The notations are so simple to understand, that anyone can learn and play
- Students get to know how to exercise the tough oscillations in notes by learning the course
- Students can learn how to write the notations with help of rhythm cycles shown in the lectures
- Students need 2 and half (D#) pitch, 8 holes Carnatic Flute to practice and play along the course
My Motto to start these courses is to "Let's Connect With our Roots". We are missing the charm and value of our traditions, customs and culture. Now-a-days most of the young generation kids don't know our mother tongue. In the race of this technological era, we are running away from our valuable sources. Also there is a strong need to propagate the importance in learning performing arts like music. As a part of it, I would encourage all the younger generation and those aspirants to start learning Carnatic Classical Music, either in Vocal or Instrumental. Within the subject, a poet, composer and an ardent devotee of Lord Venkateshwara of Tirumala Tirupathi in India., Annamacharya, who wrote around 32,000 Keerthanas in praise of the lord, gave us a treasure of his renderings in our mother tongue, Telugu, a sweet language of South India. The new generation has to know about his beautiful compositions. Hence, a series of these courses have been made, compelled and presented in different volumes here.
My training process in these courses is always more interactive and joyful. Being a continuous student I know how much support and attention a student needs in shaping them into a good performer/artist, So, utmost attention will be given to the students in their perspective of learning.
This course develops an interest to know, understand, learn and practice those immortal compositions in different tunes, rhythm cycles and much expressive lyrics within the student's mind and takes him/her in a divine state of mind.
Who this course is for:
- All the aspired students who are interested in Carnatic Classical music can learn

Whatever the flaws in Scott Morrison's judgment in imposing Warren Mundine on the Liberal branch in Gilmore -- and there are plenty -- Mundine's candidacy there is likely to again expose how difficult the path of Indigenous conservatives can be.
Right-wing commentators often -- and correctly -- call out the bigotry of the left toward Indigenous leaders and activists who dare to step outside progressive orthodoxy, and the ready resort to epithets such as "Uncle Tom" by both Indigenous and white progressives. Mundine himself has been -- and still is, even now on Twitter -- the target of such racist name-calling. It's a not-so-subtle way of telling Indigenous people that their ideological and political choices will be policed in a way that non-Indigenous Australians rarely face. It's also another example of the hypocrisy of progressives who are ever-ready to hold conservatives to a higher standard than the one they apply to themselves.
