Probably one of the worst things that could happen to you at an airport is the plane malfunctioning before it even takes off. If such an unfortunate circumstance ever does happen, you want to make sure you aren't stranded out on the tarmac all day. The Mercedes Unimog is designed to take care of this scenario by towing the plane back to the departure deck.
The Mercedes Unimog is powered by six in-wheel motors, which gives it the strength to be able to pull a 747. The body of the vehicle gets its look from reptiles, while the cockpit was fashioned after a fighter jet. Knowing this thing existed, I'd almost wish for my plane to break down so I could see this bad boy in action.

The amount of coverage required by law varies from state to state. If you are a cautious person, you might opt for a more expensive policy with better coverage. If you have a lot of assets, experts recommend that you get enough liability coverage to protect them; otherwise, the other party involved in an accident could sue and attempt to collect on those assets.
Although we’re sure that you’re probably an excellent driver (you would never speed or cut someone off, would you?), and an even better parent, how are you as a teacher? Many driving school instructors have been teaching student drivers for decades, and we all know teenagers are more likely to listen to literally anyone else than take instruction from their parents.
Hippo takes the top prize for the fastest, most “how the heck did they do that” quoting experience in the home insurance marketplace. The application process with Hippo is actually quite remarkable — you’re promised a quote in 60 seconds, but it’s really closer to 30. To apply, all you do is type in your address, and Hippo almost instantly shoots you an estimate along with information about your home’s specs.
Safe Auto Group Agency, Inc and/or its affiliates (“Safe Auto”) is located and operated exclusively in the United States of America. Safe Auto does not offer goods and/or services in any language of an European county, does not deal in any European currencies, and does not underwrite risks for or issue policies to individuals or companies located in the European Union.
Any car insurance comparison tool you look at should have your state’s minimum car insurance requirements pre-loaded into its options. States requiring PIP or medpay are generally referred to as “no-fault” states, meaning that when injuries occur, each driver in a crash makes a claim with their own insurance company to pay for them. Beyond the PIP or medpay limit, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance kicks in to cover the rest.
Your location can have a huge impact on your insurance premium. Like many industries in the US, car insurance is regulated at the state level and is dictated by each state’s regulations. If you live in an area prone to floods, hurricanes, or wildfires, your rate will be elevated, as insurance companies compensate for these risks. Dive into the data below to find check out your expected costs with our list of car insurance rates by city.
Shopping for car insurance? You've come to the right place! State Farm keeps you and your family covered with great auto insurance that's also a great value. Get an online auto insurance quote, or find a car insurance agent or representative, any time, day or night. Either way, you'll learn how competitively priced auto insurance from the industry leader can be.
Collision coverage is limited to the actual cash value of the vehicle, and requires a deductible, which is the amount you'll need to pay before receiving benefits. Higher deductibles lower your premium but increase the amount you must pay out of your own pocket if a loss occurs. Ask yourself how much you would be willing to pay on short notice in order to save on your premium, or talk to your agent.
The cheapest car insurance, period, will likely carry the minimum coverage required in your state. In most states, this is liability insurance only, which covers property damage and medical bills for others due to accidents you cause. Some states also require uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which pay for your injuries or damage if an at-fault driver doesn’t have enough insurance.
We analyzed premiums for a variety of policies and customer profiles to determine the average cost of life insurance across a number of different policy durations. The largest influencing factors on life insurance rates are the health of the individual being insured and their age. Factors such as whether or not you smoke, and what your height-to-weight ratio are also go a long way towards determining your annual life insurance policy quotes. Individuals that smoke often pay three times the amount that similar non-smokers will have to pay in premiums. Of course, life insurance companies will look at many other factors besides health (such as your occupation and age) but factors common in pricing other insurance products, like state of residence, are often not contributing factors.
Progressive is another solid option for Texans, but lags slightly behind our top picks in both financial strength and claims satisfaction ratings. The differences are pretty minor, but they make it hard to justify Progressive over State Farm or Allstate on the basis of anything except price, which was about average. We did like how easy it was to get a quote through the website, though, and Progressive was the only other company we looked at to provide a Live Chat option.
Gender and age: Young (newly licensed drivers) will be the most expensive to insure and statistics show that young males are the worst of the young drivers. Once they have a few years of experience under their belts, rates should start to drop. Statistics show that women overall tend to be involved in fewer accidents so premiums are usually lower for female drivers until they hit middle age, then males and females are basically on par for the cost of car insurance

Petaling Jaya – The Hemophilia Society of Malaysia (HSM) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) to mark the solidarity and partnership between the two organisations. At present, HSM works actively with the support from the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and the pharmaceutical industry in the country in its activities such as raising awareness, community education, and sharing of information to the public.
Through this partnership, HSM aims to work with AMSA to provide awareness on treatment and care and help future doctors have a better understanding of Hemophilia and other rare bleeding disorder in the community. The partnership would also help AMSA members in their personal and professional development and serve their communities through local, regional and international events and campaigns.
Currently, there are over 1,300 people diagnosed with Hemophilia in Malaysia, whereas according to WFH, about 1 in 10,000 people are born with hemophilia. Hence, it is estimated from the 33 million population of Malaysia; there have to be around 2,100 others born with the bleeding disorder in the country to be diagnosed and given the necessary treatment and care. Among the challenges in diagnosis faced is that there are still a wide population living in the rural areas with no awareness of the bleeding disorder and limited access to a proper diagnosis, treatment and
HSM and the bleeding disorder community will be celebrating World Hemophilia Day, which will fall on 17 April this year. As usual, HSM welcomes everyone from the bleeding disorder community and the general public to participate in awareness programmes planned for this year’s WHD. Further updates and information regarding the HSM can be found on HSM’s social media pages;
Website (www.hsm.org.my), Facebook (Hemophilia Society of Malaysia), Twitter (@HemophiliaMsia), and most recently, Instagram (hsm_hemophilia).
Hemophilia Society of Malaysia
About World Hemophilia Day
April 17, 2021 is World Hemophilia Day. The theme of the event this year is “Adapting to change: sustaining care in a new world”. This important event is about bringing the global bleeding disorders community together. With the COVID-19 pandemic having a major impact on people with a bleeding disorder, that objective has never been more important. Our community is made up of a great diversity of people—from patients and their families, to carers, physicians and researchers—each of whom has been affected by the pandemic in a different way. We need to continue providing support to these people now, and in the future once the pandemic has passed. The world has changed greatly over the last year, but one thing hasn’t: we are still in this together, and we will always be stronger together as a community in our shared vision of “Treatment for All”.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has made life challenging for people with a bleeding disorder—but we can’t stop striving for Treatment for All. World Hemophilia Day is a platform for showing the world that our community is resilient and we will overcome this new challenge as we have overcome other challenges in the past.” — Cesar Garrido, WFH President
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic means that we can’t celebrate World Hemophilia Day in person this year. But, as we have all done for most of 2020, we can adapt to the present circumstances and show the community our solidarity in other ways. For example, people wishing to participate can submit a picture of themselves wearing something red on WFH social media pages. Or, they can share their story on worldhemophiliaday.org about their experience living or caring for someone with a bleeding disorder. Participants can also tell the community about how they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. And, as always, anyone can contact a local landmark to encourage them to “Light it up Red”. There is a lot we can all do to celebrate World Hemophilia Day.

Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) says it will be procuring drones to support enforcement and various interventions the tax collecting body is carrying out against smuggling of various items into the country using uncharted routes.
MRA Director of Corporate Affairs, Steven Kapoloma said the drones, to be used to detect smugglers, will also help them in intelligence gathering.
Kapoloma also said they are closely working various companies, mainly victims of smuggling, in the fight against smuggling and have several initiatives that they have implemented and continue to implement in order to deal with this challenge.
“We are doing patrols together. We are sharing information and that has helped us to at least deal with those that are smuggling goods, ” said Kapoloma.
According to him, one of the interventions that MRA is currently undertaking is the use of permenant road blocks and teams patrolling 24 hours and its duty is to intercept and seize all goods that have not been cleared through the borders.
“Apart from that, we do conduct periodic patrols what we call mobile patrols and we have the scanners at the borders. All these efforts are aimed at ensuring that only legitimate goods are brought into the country and should not use uncharted routes.
“Those using uncharted routes must be penalized and must feel the pain as scribed in the law, ” said Kapoloma.
The MRA Director Corporate Affairs claimed that besides these existing interventions, they are educating communities on the need to stop aiding smuggling.
“Going forward, we are looking at procuring drones that will be able to support our enforcement and intelligence gathering. It will also support the patrols that we are undertaking.
“These interventions are bearing fruits and we think in the long run the challenge of smuggling will be dealt with according, ” said Kapoloma.
Recently, MRA Board Chairperson Dr. Rex Harawa said hailed the Authority’s management for rolling out various to automate services in various areas including Customs, saying they are crucial to Malawi’s ranking in the Doing Business Report by the World Bank.
Harawa said country data determines investment destinations and that Government’s vision is to attract more investments into Malawi with focus to turn the economy into a predominantly producing and exporting one.
“It is therefore important that we always aim at improving the doing business ranking for Malawi. Currently, Malawi is progressively at position 109 out of the 190 countries which is a great improvement from position 132 recorded 10 years ago.
Government’s aim is to at least achieve a doing business ranking below 100. Commissioner General, the doing business ranking of below 100 cannot just happen; it is through swift service provision and adherence to international standards which MRA and many players in the economy are implementing, ” said Harawa.Follow and Subscribe Nyasa TV :

ProPublica reported on Saturday: There was nothing haphazard about the violence that erupted today in this bucolic town in Virginia’s heartland. At about 10 a.m. today, at one of countless such confrontations, an angry mob of white supremacists formed a battle line across from a group of counter-protesters, many of them older and gray-haired, who had gathered near a church parking lot. On command from their leader, the young men charged and pummeled their ideological foes with abandon. One woman was hurled to the pavement, and the blood from her bruised head was instantly visible.
Standing nearby, an assortment of Virginia State Police troopers and Charlottesville police wearing protective gear watched silently from behind an array of metal barricades — and did nothing.
It was a scene that played out over and over in Charlottesville as law enforcement confronted the largest public gathering of white supremacists in decades. We walked the streets beginning in the early morning hours and repeatedly witnessed instances in which authorities took a largely laissez faire approach, allowing white supremacists and counter-protesters to physically battle.
Officials in Charlottesville had publicly promised to maintain control of the “Unite the Right” rally, which is the latest in a series of chaotic and bloody racist rallies that have roiled this college town, a place deeply proud of its links to Thomas Jefferson and the origins of American Democracy.
But the white supremacists who flooded into the city’s Emancipation Park — a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee sits in the center of the park — had spent months openly planning for war. [Continue reading…]

French leader Macron ‘knocked out’ by Muay Thai at legendary Bangkok stadium
French President Emmanuel Macron took time out during the Apec summit to visit the famed Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
The French leader visited the stadium, where legends of Muay Thai have fought since 1945, to speak with fighters on Thursday.
Macron arrived in Thailand to attend the annual Apec Economic Leaders' Meeting in Bangkok on Friday and Saturday, but the French president is known to have a keen interest in sports.
Welcoming him at Rajadamnern Stadium were Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, media firm Plan B’s managing director Pinijsorn Luechaikajohnpan, and the stadium’s executive manager Jit Cheosakul.
Macron told them that he was a big sports fan and liked watching football and boxing, including Muay Thai.
He then watched ringside as two Muay Thai fighters gave a demonstration of their martial arts skills in a short sparring exhibition, showcasing traditional kicks and leg-swipes that have become a staple of modern mixed martial arts.
Macron was also gifted a pair of Muay Thai shorts with his own name written across them, said Thainchai Pisitwuttinan, CEO of Global Sport Ventures, organiser of the Rajadamnern World Series.
The French leader tweeted a video of himself speaking to students at the stadium and watching as they sang “The Marseilles” French national anthem. He also praised Muay Thai as not just Thailand’s national sport but also a treasure worthy of global respect.

The entire T.R.I.M. interface can be easily end-user installed in five minutes with common hand tools and can be quickly removed or replaced with a different length rail interface in the field with nothing more than a hex key. The T.R.I.M.'s attachment points enable the end-user to quickly position the supplied modular Picatinny rail panel on the attached interface in pre-specified locations. Integral push-button Q.D. sling swivel attachment points are located on both sides of the T.R.I.M. for the ultimate in sling mounting versatility.

Best Emphysema Treatment in Delhi
Emphysema is a disease of the lungs most commonly caused by smoking. Generally it is a breakdown in the walls of the air sacs of the lung causing them to become abnormally enlarged. These abnormally enlarged air sacs function poorly for oxygenation. This poor oxygenating capability of emphysema lungs makes it more and more difficult to breathe.
Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Emphysema: Many people who suffer from emphysema have portions of the lung which are more affected than others. This finding led to the development of a surgical approach to treat emphysema. Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a procedure which removes approximately 20-35% of the poorly functioning, space-occupying lung tissue from each lung. The remaining lung and surrounding muscles (intercostals and diaphragm) can work more efficiently by reducing the lung size. It makes breathing more comfortable and helps patients achieve a more significant quality of life.
Surgeons at Fortis have been trained in the UK at Glenfield Hospital, UK, a leading international centre for Lung Volume Reduction Surgery in this specialized surgery which VATS or Robotics Surgery can quickly do.

U.S. premiere of the first new episode helf for a standing-room-only crowd at the Javits Center followed by an Exclusive Q&A Panel with series creator and Executive Producer Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny and Mitch Pileggi.
Panel hosted by Avid “X” – Fan and “The X-Files” guest star Kumail Nanjiani! Highlights include why the time was perfect to bring back “The X-Files”, the status of Mulder and Scully’s relationship and David and Mitch talk playing Mulder and Skinner again.
FOX’s event series The X-Files will have its world premiere at MIPCOM in Cannes, France on Tuesday, October 6th. My Struggle, the first of the series’ six, will be presented at the Grand auditorium of the Palias des Festivals by executive producer Chris Carter.
On Saturday, October 10th, The X-Files episode will its American premiere at the Javits Center during the 2015 New York Comic Con. A Q&A session will follow with Carter and David ‘Fox Mulder’ Duchovny.
The x-Files will have its two-night network premiere on Sunday, January 24th (following the NFC Championship Game) and Monday January 25th. Follow the jump for more.
For X-Files fans, it’s lucky 13! The X-Files is returning to FOX after that long – with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles as Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in six new adventures by series creator Chris Carter.
“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”
As an X-Phile who sat through every single episode of the The X-Files [yup, all nine seasons and the first movie], I have to say that it was disheartening to see a mere eighteen people in the theater for the first matinee of The X-Files: I Want To Believe. What was even more disheartening was watching the film unfold to pretty much stony silence from the assembled [I’d hardly call it a crowd].
You don’t need to have watched the television program to understand what’s going on in I Want to Believe, but it certainly helps when it comes to some of the inside jokes and character moments. Even a non-X-Phile can follow the plot – which revolves around a specific urban legend – and the relationship between former FBI agents Fox Mulder [David Duchovny] and Dr. Dana Scully [Gillian Anderson] is apparent even to the uninitiated [though some of their exchanges might not have the same impact for those new to the X-Files experience].
Duchovny and Anderson slip back into their roles so well, it’s like they’ve always been there and there are pleasantly surprising performances from newcomers to the X-Files, Xzibit [as a sceptical FBI Agent who seems like a Skinner-in-training, but without the people skills] and Billy Connolly as a psychic pedophile ex-priest. Amanda Peet, as Agent-in-Charge Dakota Whitney, is merely adequate. Callum Keith Rennie, as the primary villain, brings a suitable menace to his performance.
Unfortunately, the plot is pretty average – to the point where the B-plot [Scully’s efforts to save the life of a boy with a deadly brain disease] is actually more involving. On the plus side, series creator Chris Carter – who co-wrote the script with Frank Spotnitz – does a good job of creating the murky, atmospheric feel that made the series unique to the proceedings. That compensates for many of the film’s flaws.
The X-Files: I Want To Believe is an adequate way to kill a couple of hours, but it’s not likely to spawn the kind of fervent glee that the best episodes of the series generated. I fear this will be the last new X-Files adventure/investigation. Pity… [Please note, stay through the credits and you’ll see a glimpse of Mulder and Scully that is particularly memorable for Scully fans – two words: black bikini.]

Unless your healthcare provider advises in any other case, using CBD at bedtime — or when you have time to relax if you have to — is a good idea, a minimum of until you understand how your body responds to it.
A healthcare supplier who is aware of your medical historical past is the best individual to go to for recommendation about how much CBD you take. As knowledgeable as sales workers could also be in terms of CBD products, they aren’t healthcare suppliers. CBD merchandise are largely unregulated in the United States. Mislabeling and poor quality control, together with important discrepancies in power and undeclared THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, are a difficulty.
Studies have discovered that in some folks CBD could cause diarrhea, modifications in appetite, and fatigue. Follow the dosage instructions to get the best outcomes. Uriel Sinai/Getty Images News/Getty ImagesWhen CBD oil first started to hit the scene, and my brother beneficial it for my anxiousness and migraine headaches, I was reluctant to offer it a attempt. I am a kind of people for whom hashish induces extreme paranoia — the type that makes me wish to hide underneath the mattress — and I wished to ensure CBD wouldn’t have the identical effect. After studying a number of research, and learning that CBD oil doesn’t contain THC, the energetic ingredient in hashish that gets you high, I decided to offer it a go.

Had 3 spinal ops and also had hip surgical procedure 2 years ago.
So far, scientific analysis has not pinpointed any clear limits to how much CBD is too much. Dosages in research cover a very broad range, from as little as 1 milligram to as much as 1,500 milligrams per day. Currently, no dosage has been identified as hazardous, however it’s attainable to abuse hashish and you should search medical intervention if CBD is interfering with the way you perform in daily life.

If you don’t feel comfy with self-dosing (CBD tinctures, vapes, topicals) try a CBD product that has a pre-dosed amount of CBD you like (CBD gummies, softgels, capsules). Pre-dosed CBD may be especially useful for first-time customers who’ve never tried cannabidiol merchandise. Unlike the adverse effects of THC, the unwanted side effects of CBD oil are far more uncommon and gentle. You could experience a gentle headache or little torpid because the impact wears off.
All you should do to avoid these undesirable effects is lower your dosage. It is usually believed that a full-spectrum variant of CBD oil, i.e. a CBD extract that contains all the other components of hashish in its pure composition is way more helpful to people than an isolate. Apparently, these parts, together with THC (as long as its proportion is within a sure restrict) can ideally enhance the effects and advantages of cannabidiol.

Considering zero instances have been reported, it is very unlikely. But, not all merchandise or corporations are created equal. When looking for a product that may relieve your ache, it is important to go with an organization you’ll be able to trust. Likewise, some folks find that CBD products with extra THC present higher anxiety aid. Although, for some, a higher amount of THC can really increase their nervousness.

Not only does the strategy of administration have an effect on the onset and period of effects, but it could also affect the scale of the dose you should take. Some people want significantly extra, whereas others need significantly less.
For example, if you’re dwelling with extreme chronic pain, you will probably require the next dose on a daily basis than somebody who takes CBD sometimes to deal with situational anxiety. The greatest concern most pet parents have regarding CBD merchandise is whether or not they comprise THC, a psychoactive ingredient identified to come back from marijuana crops.

The best CBD dose for you normally relies upon primarily in your body weight, nevertheless it can be influenced by other factors, corresponding to your personal physique chemistry, your age, and any other well being situations you have.
I started Cbd oil in August however now discovered my body has turn out to be resistant to the consequences of ache releif I was getting. Can anybody recommend what power oil/cbd complement I ought to aim for?

One of the commonest complaints we hear about CBD isn’t that doesn’t work, however that figuring out the best dose is usually a real pain. So we created a CBD dosage calculator that figures all of it out for you and makes dosing incredibly straightforward.
When you eat a CBD gummy, your physique will metabolize the CBD in a different way than it’s going to if you smoke or vape CBD. While this could change how long it takes the CBD to enter effect or how long the effects last, it will not change the toxicity of CBD. Following the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived CBD products were legalized and placed under the jurisdiction of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Well, the short reply is yes, you’ll be able to take too much of something.
Without definitive proof, it is hard to say whether or not dogs can overdose on CBD. A 2017 evaluate of scientific analysis published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research confirmed that CBD is usually very safe, notably when in comparison with other drugs. In basic, the biggest risk you probably run if taking a huge dose of CBD could also be getting sleepy because the cannabinoid can have tranquilizing effects in giant doses. To be clear, there is no exactly-recognized deadly dose of CBD oil in human beings.

[Evolution of forestry education in relation to needs of practice] 72 - 75.
|Název článku:||Vývoj lesnického školství v souvislosti s potřebami lesnické praxe|
This article analyses the evolution of forestry education in the Czech Republic using available sources of information and compares the situation of the past and present. In 1756 the first document was published which was used as forestry textbook. The first forestry school was established in the Czech Republic in Blatna near Chomutov by Jan Ehrewert in 1773, and another one in 1823 in Moravia in Dačice by Vincenc Hlava. These schools were satisfying the needs of large forest owners. After establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1919 the Ministry of Agriculture approved the principles of forestry education that were very progressive for those days. During the 20th century number of schools as well as their specialization were changing but always considered the needs of forestry as the most dominant. Nowadays the number of 12 forestry-training centres, 6 secondary forestry schools and 2 forestry faculties in the Czech Republic is too high and influences the quality of the Czech school system. Reorganization of educational system in this country is necessary to be done in the future.

The Walking Dead (comic book)
|The Walking Dead|
|Publication date||October 2003 – July 2019|
|No. of issues||193|
|Created by||Robert Kirkman|
13 more rows
Are The Walking Dead comics good?
Very good. Much more violent than the series. The graphics are really good. And the series follows the comics to a certain degree but there are many differences and certain characters that were killed off seasons ago are still alive and well in the comics.
What is the latest issue of The Walking Dead comic?
The final issue will be The Walking Dead No. 193, which will be released tomorrow in an expanded format (an 84-page edition, up from typical 32 pages) with a cover price of $3.99.
How did the Walking Dead comics end?
The issue ends when Carl’s daughter teases him for always bringing up the importance of her grandfather, but all the same, she wants to hear the story one more time. The final image of the series is Carl with his child, happy and safe in a rocking chair; cue the avalanche of inevitable Rocking Dead merch.
How did Rick die in the comics?
The fate of Rick Grimes the screen character remains up in the air (quite literally, since he was last seen boarding a helicopter of cryptic origins) but in the comic book saga Grimes meets his end (as widely feared) with the fatal gunshot wounds he suffered in a sneak attack by a living, breathing assailant.
How did the virus in the Walking Dead start?
An airborne virus
In the first season of The Walking Dead, we learned that every human on Earth has the virus lying dormant in their system, ready to turn them into a walker the moment they die. Some have taken this to mean that all of humanity was infected simultaneously, possibly through an airborne contaminant.

In Vallnord where temperatures are just below freezing, the best snow and most open runs are in the Arcalis sector, where a snow park is also now operational. Although the resort's black graded terrain has still not opened, several red runs are now open.
In Grandvalira runs of all difficulty levels, including twelve blacks, are now open and terrain parks in Soldeu and Pas de la Casa sector are also buzzing. The best snow is on the Esparver and Guineu trails and snow depths are up to two feet. Another inch or so of snow is expected over the weekend.


Most listings are in the $40's per square foot per year. The Beverly Woods region is going through a a rise in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate went up $5 per sqft per year. That's a 12% rise in rent.
Compared to the rest of the Metrolina market, the Beverly Woods submarket has greater rates, and you'll have to negotiate above asking rent to be in this hot region.
In the last 90 days, 29 listings have come on the market, which means spaces are probably leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 21% of the office spaces in the Beverly Woods are subleases, so you might be able to snag a great spot on a short term. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 3,090 sqft, there are still 0 office spaces below 2,000 sqft. Most properties in this area are around 7 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 1984 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Construction is the dominant industry in this market. Commute by walking is the most popular way to get to work amongst Beverly Woods occupants. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Just a few frames from June…
I really love making films!
I put together this compilation to give a flavour of all the things I love to shoot, including my weekends stories, a few adventures, alongside some recent work projects… It makes me smile.
If you’d like a go at making your own films, let me show you how in my two online courses -
Last weekend was a mixture of emotions…
From glorious sunshine and playtime in one of my favourite places. I love the time we spend there.
To the goodbye of my sister’s tea room Bake-a-boo - after 10 years of serving delicious cakes.
I’m so proud of Boo. This is my tribute to her.
If these films have inspired you to have a go at making your own films… have a look at my online courses – The next sessions for Creating Time Capsules & MAKE FILMS are in July and registration is open.
Got found my way back here soon.
The collaboration The Sixty Second Photograph is dear to my heart. It’s a commitment to make a film each month alongside some really lovely & talented artists.
It should be fairly easy for me, as I’m making films all the time, but actually it’s been tricky to separate what I want to make as part of this project from the other creative projects and films I’m working on. I’ve been over thinking it… and trying to do something different each month. It’s not possible every time and I’ve got to be ok with that.
So this month is using footage collected throughout May… snippets from my Week In The Life and from a monthly Time Capsule film I’m creating. The theme is the light and that hopefully threads it together and it reminds me that looking for the light always makes me smile…
Do take time to check out the other films in this collective… it’s bubbling with inspiration.
The film is shot on Canon EOS 5D3.
The best films to look back on, are those sprinkled with little details, that when viewed altogether, create the bigger story of your life.
That’s why I LOVE the Day In The Life film.
In the MAKE FILMS course this week, the project is to create a Day In The Life film…
Last year, instead of one day of filming and creating a long DITL film, I started making daily mini Time Capsules to share on Instagram. A film every day for a week, full of everyday details and the little things that happened that were worth taking notice of and a few of the moments in between.
Another round of MAKE FILMS starts next week (May 17th) and I know not everyone has the means to take part, so I’m hosting a giveaway for TWO places – one place by leaving a comment here on the blog & one place by leaving a comment on my Instagram feed - on the mini version of this film.
Let me know what little details you would like to capture in your Time Capsule film in the comments. I’ll announce the random winners on Monday here.
*Edited to add the winners - Rhadonda Sedgwick & @eliza_charlie_tilly
All the best!
All films shot on mostly Canon 5d3, with additional footage from iPhone 6s and Canon G7x
I love a new gadget to play with, so when the lovely people at Three.co.uk offered me a chance to play around with the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, I said yes, straight away! I’d heard tons of great things about the camera and was looking forward to checking it out for myself…. and maybe seeing world in a new way.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a beautiful bit of kit. My teenage sons swooned over it as I pulled it out of the box. I had to prise it out of their hands, as we all fell in love with epic screen wrapping around the edge. So very cool.
I loved that the screen was as large as my iPhone 6s+ but the device was smaller and felt more comfortable in my hand – amazing design! Everything looks crisp, colourful and extra special through it.
I’d read that the phone was waterproof… but didn’t feel brave enough to test this out on a borrowed device. But I can imagine that would be handy if you’re shooting in the rain… which seems to be most of the time here in the UK!
I took the phone out on my recent instameet #wwim13colourlovers to see how the colours would look in the photos… and I was impressed.
Bold and bright… vibrancy shone through the screen as I shot these gorgeous balloons. Plus, knowing it has the ability shoot in RAW so the photos can be fully edited, if needed afterwards.
The camera is one of the best I’ve tried on a smart phone. I was sad giving back, but not as upset as my fourteen year old, who was straight away trying to figure out how he can trade his iPhone for one immediately.
Note about the collaboration – Three.co.uk very kindly lent me the phone, to try it out and share a review here – All opinions are my own.
This trip was a spur of the moment thing to celebrate our birthdays. We were all needing a change of scenery after weeks of solid work.
Somewhere warmish and colourful were the top of my list.
There are more photos and stories to share, but I thought I’d start with the film.
I imagined I would make a film of quick blasts of colours and action, but actually I found Marrakech quite overwhelming and full on, so I spent most of the time seeking out the quiet and calm.
These are the moments I want to remember.
If you’re interesting in creating your own Time Capsule films of your life – holiday memories or everyday moments… Then take a look at my online course Creating Time Capsules, which starts later this week… On this course, I share everything you need to know to create these magic films for your family. Come and join the fun.
The Sixty Second Photograph is a monthly collaboration of beautiful stories by such talented artists. We’re telling stories of our lives through movement… playing and experimenting along the way.
This month came round so quickly. I wanted to carry on exploring the idea of a moving portrait… like last month. So I kept the film really simple. I’ve used The Photo Booth idea in other films of mine, but not for a while and as there is so much change in the boys lately… it’s good to revisit concepts that bring out a certain feeling. And it’s good to get everyone in front of the camera!
This film makes me smile for so many reasons, but mostly I’m grateful for this project to push me to create something I might not have got round to making.
Head over HERE and spend a while getting inspired by the wonderful films on offer this month.

The word is out. Sue Moen, who ran for the Green party in the last provincial election and had hoped to do it again, informed Cortes Currents on Tuesday. Alexandra Morton is the Green candidate in North Island.
Morton proclaimed her intention
Morton proclaimed her intention to run on Facebook four days ago (Monday), “I am seeking nomination to run for MLA for North Island as a Green Candidate. I need 175 signatures by 1st ferry on Wednesday. I will be at the Li’l Wild Gift Shop at the new dock (in Sontula) from 12-2:30. You can sign, or give me an earful!”
That meeting occurred yesterday.
The Norwegian based website salmonbusiness.com has been observing events and posted that “the anti-salmon farming activist” has “more than double” the number of signatures required on her nomination.
The Tyee announced Morton’s candidacy
As of this morning, the Green party has yet to announce Alexandra Morton is their candidate and Morton has not returned Cortes Currents queries, but the Tyee ran the story yesterday.
Sue Moen is quoted, “I admire and respect Alexandra and think she’ll be a wonderful candidate and I will work with her to get her elected.”
Dallas Smith, who ran as a BC Liberal in 2017, told the Tyee, “I think Alexandra will definitely take away from the NDP in this one.”
Alexandra Morton said the NDP has done some good things, but the best election outcome would be a minority government “with a Green rudder on it.”

Copper Repipe in Barstow, CA
A copper repipe has become a common plumbing procedure amongst the many Barstow, CA residents for over the last decade. Nearly Half of the houses in Barstow were initially built from 12 to 28 years ago and may contain old, and potentially hazardous galvanized pipes which might be extremely vulnerable to corrosion and rust.
Over the years, your galvanized pipes that exist in the home begin to wear away. There are numerous causes for the oxidation. Recently, there are numerous stories in the news which spotlight a local Water Treatment facilities as a possible reason for a troubling development associated with pinhole water leaks and even slab leaks as a potential consequence of chemical substances that were used to be able to treat water. In time these particular substances have been studied to have contributed to the type of material degradation of several different types of galvanized pipes. On the other hand there are many different opinions concerning what causes this specific rust and failure, the fact of the matter is at some point a galvanized plumbing system will have to be remade by the process of a PEX or copper repipe.
Is water pipe corrosion a serious concern in Barstow?
Pipe corrosion crops up for a lot of varied reasons. If this occurs, it impacts not only the interior surfaces in the pipe. It is going to slowly lower your water pressure, which reduces your ability of running modern appliances like the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time. It heightens your danger of being scalded in the shower when a family member in the house uses the faucet. Combined with the pressure water decrease, the deposits and rust in the older galvanized water pipes could make its way into the tap water you use causing discoloration and damage to internal fixtures. Water screens become clogged with greater frequency. It could even bring about medical concerns in the event the water is put into use for cooking and showering. Smaller children are often especially susceptible to the impact of inadequate water quality during developing years.

JEET can perform visual inspections in special environments, such as the interior of containers, pipelines, equipment that are difficult to disassemble, the inner surface of small gaps, or areas that cannot be directly observed by human vision.
The application of JEET industrial endoscope in track inspection mainly includes the following four aspects: internal combustion engine carbon deposit inspection, gearbox inspection, shock absorber spring inspection and hollow shaft inspection. Next, we will analyze these four aspects in detail.
Carbon deposition detection of internal combustion engines in rail transit: For diesel locomotives, JEET industrial endoscopes can be used for carbon deposition detection. If there is carbon deposit on the exhaust valve of the diesel engine of a diesel locomotive, it will reduce the effective power of the internal combustion engine and cause fuel consumption. Using industrial endoscopes to detect carbon deposits in internal combustion engines avoids the traditional cumbersome operation of disassembling diesel engines. The inspection can be performed only by inserting the endoscope into the cylinder, and the entire operation process is simple and easy.
Gearbox inspection: In the normal use and operation cycle of the locomotive, gear wear and poor jamming of the traction gearbox are common problems. If it is not detected early and handled correctly, it may even cause the gearbox to be scrapped and derailed. JEET industrial endoscope can easily complete gearbox inspection. For a specific operation, you only need to insert the flexible catheter of the endoscope into the gear box through the oil volume observation port of the gear box, and you can see it intuitively. To display the gears in the gearbox and whether there are foreign objects at the bottom of the gearbox, you can also use the image recording function of the industrial endoscope to shoot and archive for further troubleshooting or future comparison and reference.
Suspension spring inspection: In some railway maintenance regulations and factory maintenance regulations, the inspection requirements for suspension springs are mentioned. The specific requirement is to check for cracks, wear and other conditions, and then perform welding according to maintenance regulations. Traditional inspection methods usually require disassembly of the spring. However, when using the JEET industrial endoscope, you only need to send the endoscope probe to the spring to be inspected to observe the cracks inside the spring and the condition of the top of the spring. This reduces the workload and economic cost of disassembly.
Hollow shaft inspection: During the operation of the electric high-speed train, if the hollow shaft is found to have corrosion, rust, abrasion and other suspicious parts through the ultrasonic flaw detection equipment, the JEET industrial endoscope can be used to probe the hollow shaft for further detailed inspection. Therefore, the magnification effect of the endoscope can be used to find microcracks. Similarly, the inspector can also use the image processing system of the industrial endoscope to take inspection videos and record the specific conditions of the hollow shaft, so that defects can be re-examined through the computer in the future to ensure more accurate inspection results.
JEET Technology Industrial Endoscope can be widely used in many fields, such as automobile manufacturing, precision casting, automobile maintenance, public safety, aviation, aerospace, special inspection institutes, food and chemical pipelines, pharmaceutical machinery, energy and power, municipal administration, railroads For transportation, please come to consult.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Giovani Bernard has quickly emerged as one of the most entertaining stories of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this year. Earlier this month, Bernard revealed that he lives a humble life that includes driving his girlfriend’s mom’s minivan rather than taking on a hefty car payment. On Tuesday night, we met the girlfriend.
Bernard’s better half, Chloe Call, set the Twitter world on fire when she made an appearance on “Hard Knocks,” and it’s easy to see why. She’s pretty much a 10.

U.N. Experts Investigating 58 Suspected North Korean Cyberattacks Valued at About $3 Billion
16:39 JST, February 10, 2024
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. experts say they are investigating 58 suspected North Korean cyberattacks between 2017 and 2023 valued at approximately $3 billion, with the money reportedly being used to help fund its development of weapons of mass destruction.
And the high volume of cyberattacks by North Korean hacking groups who report to the Reconnaissance General Bureau, North Korea’s primary foreign intelligence organization, is reportedly continuing, the panel of experts said in the executive summary of a new report to the U.N. Security Council obtained Friday by The Associated Press.
The report covering the period from July 2023 to January 2024 and reflecting contributions from unidentified U.N. member nations and other sources, was sent to the 15-member council as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has raised tensions in the region. He is threatening to annihilate South Korea if provoked and escalating weapons demonstrations. In response, the United States, South Korea and Japan have strengthened their combined exercises.
Amid the increased military and political tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the experts said North Korea “continued to flout [U.N.] sanctions,” further developed its nuclear weapons, and produced nuclear fissile materials – the weapons’ key ingredients.
The experts said a light-water reactor at North Korea’s main nuclear complex at Yongbyon “appeared to be operational.” South Korea’s defense minister said in late December that the reactor would likely be formally operational by the summer, amid suspicions the North may use it as a new source of fissile materials for nuclear weapons.
North Korea has long produced weapons-grade plutonium from its widely known 5-megawatt reactor at Yongbyon. The light-water reactor would be an additional source of bomb fuels, and observers say its bigger capacity could allow it to produce more plutonium. Yongbyon has a uranium enrichment facility as well.
The panel said activities at North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site “continued.” U.S. and South Korean officials have said North Korea is likely preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test from the site, which would be the first since 2017.
Outside estimates on the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from 20-60 to more than 100. Experts say North Korea can add six to 18 bombs each year. Since his diplomacy with the U.S. collapsed in 2019, Kim Jong Un has repeatedly vowed to build more nuclear weapons and introduce high-tech weapons to cope with what he calls intensifying U.S. hostility.
The panel said that during the six-month period ending in January, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or DPRK — the North’s official name — launched at least seven ballistic missiles — one a three-stage intercontinental ballistic missile, one possibly an intermediate-range missile and five short-range ballistic missiles.
After two failed attempts, the DPRK successfully placed a military observation satellite in orbit, the experts said. And a diesel submarine was retrofitted as a “tactical nuclear attack submarine” and added to the North’s military arsenal.
The panel, which monitors U.N. sanctions against North Korea, said the DPRK continues importing refined petroleum products in violation of Security Council resolutions, using “combinations of obfuscation methods” to evade maritime sanctions.
The DPRK’s recorded trade volume in 2023 surpassed the total for 2022, the experts said, including a large variety of consumer goods, “some of which could be classified as luxury items” that are banned by U.N. sanctions.
The panel said it is also investigating reports from member states about the DPRK supplying arms and ammunition in violation of U.N. sanctions.
The United States, Ukraine and six allies accused Russia last month of using North Korean ballistic missiles and launchers in a series of devastating aerial attacks against Ukraine, in violation of U.N. sanctions.

Rajya Sabha passes amendments to POSCO Bill
July 26, 2019
Over the past one decade, more cases of child sexual abuse and harassment is being reported. On Thursday, the Rajya Sabha made amendments to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The new bill has included death penalty and stringent punishments for sexual offenders. The bill was introduced by Union Minister Smriti Irani who handles Women and Child Development in the central ministry.
Amendments in POCSO have made administration of any drug to a child with the intent of child attaining early sexual maturity a punishable offence & punishments for sexual assault on children have been made more stringent with provision of death penalty for the convict-Smriti Z Irani, Union Minister of Women and Child Development.
According to reports, the bill was passed at the Rajya Sabha without much hurdles as most of the ministers and law makers favoured the amended bill against sexual offenders. In fact, most of the members at Rajya Sabha pointed out how the rising cases of sexual harassment are a threat to safety and dignity of children in India. The speech given at Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien about how he was sexually abused at the age of 13 years is going viral on social media for all the right reasons with even Smriti Irani appreciating him for coming forward to speak about it.
This new amended law will keep a check on rising cases of sexual harassment amongst children. People from across the country cheered for this new move by the central government. For those who are involved in child pornography, the punishment can go up to seven years in jail along with a hefty fine.
"Thank you @smritiirani ji for your kind words of appreciation on my first speech in the Rajya Sabha today. Speaking on POCSO Amendment Bill was had the dual passion of a lawmaker as well as a father", tweeted Rajya Sabha Member Dr Sasmit Patra.
"Very welcome change made in the POSCO Act. Heinous crimes against innocent children must be severely, speedily and publicaly punished, further changes may be reqd to increase effectiveness", tweeted Balraj Mehta.

Jackson Group planning pair of retail projects in South Brooklyn
Firm has purchased sites at 2251 Nostrand Avenue and 2927 Avenue U
South Brooklyn is going to get a pair of new retail buildings.
Elliott and Ike Chehebar’s Jackson Group has purchased a pair of sites at 2251 Nostrand Avenue in Midwood and 2927 Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay, and they are planning to build retail projects on both sites, according to the firm.
They bought the Nostrand Avenue site by Brooklyn College and Target for $19 million from Alex Adjmi’s A&H Acquisitions and bought the Avenue U site from Harvey Heino’s Heino Realty for about $8.4 million, according to property records.
The Jackson Group plans to build a 50,000-square-foot retail development on Nostrand Avenue and a 40,000-square-foot retail development on Avenue U, which they purchased together with A&H Acquisitions.
“The demand for South Brooklyn has been very strong,” Elliott Chehebar said, “and we anticipate a very swift lease up and value add to both of these special block front sites.”
Construction should start on the developments in a few months, Chehebar said.
Adjmi declined to comment on the projects.
His A&H Acquisitions and its partners Meral Property Group and Joyland Group previously filed plans for a mixed-use project at the Nostrand Avenue site with 38 residential units across 62,000 square feet. However, Jackson Group’s plan has since supplanted that.

If winter is for sweaters and scarves and hours spent in the warmth of a kitchen cooking up a storm, summer is des repas en plein air, barefooted, and quick recipes that let you take advantage of good weather. For a chilly spring dinner to help with this seasonal transition, there’s nothing faster than gnocchi pan-fried in brown butter. It’s heavy enough to be filling, but considerably lighter than when laden with tomato sauce. Paired with wilted spinach and peppered with chili flakes and bacon, it’s the tastiest thing we’ve made under 30 minutes.
Browned Butter Gnocchi with Wilted Spinach
Serves two large portions or three small ones
Recipe slightly adapted from Jackie Mill via MyRecipes.com
1 package vacuum-packed gnocchi
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach, torn
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Bacon or pancetta
Cook gnocchi according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter browns to a caramel colour. You know the butter is ready when it begins to foam and releases a nutty aroma. Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Add gnocchi and spinach to pan; cook until spinach wilts, stirring constantly. Stir in salt, pepper, chili flakes, and bacon pieces.
Note: If you don’t have a large enough pan to accommodate both the spinach and the gnocchi, you can cook half of the greens with the gnocchi and then serve the rest as a side or mix it in after.

The degree of difficulty of the buzzer-beater in Thursday night's Oklahoma Class 3A quarterfinals between Hugo and Millwood doesn't rival Khalil Edney's 60-foot miracle, but the degree of absurdity surpasses it.
Hugo (Okla.) led 37-36 with 2.9 seconds to play when Hugo guard Trey Johnson received an inbounds pass headed toward his own hoop. Johnson needed only to dribble out the clock, or, at worst, get fouled, but instead made a layup in his own basket to give Millwood a most improbable 38-37 win.
“When I saw the kid going that way, I was like, ‘No, he's not. No, he's not ... Oh, yes he is,'” Millwood assistant coach David Samilton told The Oklahoman. "I couldn't believe it.”
Yes, he was. Here's a photo of the winning layup.
As you might imagine, Hugo coach Darnell Shanklin told The Oklahoman it was difficult to talk to his players, especially Johnson, after the game.
“He gives you 100 percent all the time,” Shanklin said of Johnson. “Heart goes out to the kid because he feels bad. He feels really, really bad.”
Samilton, whose Millwood squad takes on Centennial in Friday's semifinals, invoked another infamous moment of confusion in expressing his sympathy for Johnson.
“I feel sorry for him,” Samilton said. “Just like Chris Webber, when he called the timeout. I really do feel sorry for him. But hey, I'll take it.”
Things turned out just fine for C-Webb. No doubt they will for Johnson, too.
