Inland waterway transport statistics
From Statistics Explained
- Data from December 2013. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database.
This article presents inland waterways goods transport in the European Union (EU) and other countries connected to the EU inland waterways network. It focuses on the main products transported, based on annual data for 2012 and comparisons with previous years.
In 2012, the total volume of goods transported on European inland waterways was 526 million tonnes, a slight decrease of 0.2 % on the year before. However, the total transport performed reached 149 billion tonnes-kilometres (Tkm), up 5 % from the previous year, reflecting an increase in the distances performed. The main product categories transported by inland waterways were ‘Metal ores and mining products’ and ‘Coke and refined petroleum products’. The key countries in European inland waterways transport are the Netherlands and Germany.

Main statistical findings
“Metal ores and mining products” together with “Coke and refined petroleum products” were the main product categories transported in 2012
Metal ores and mining and quarrying products (NST2007 division “03”) was the main product category transported on EU inland waterways in 2012, both in terms of tonnes-kilometres (Tkm) (Table 1) and in terms of tonnes (Table 2). This product category accounted for 24 % of the Tkm performed in total for all products and 32 % of total tonnes transported. A decline was recorded in 2012 compared to 2011 (-2.5 % for Tkm and -6 % for tonnes), probably reflecting the difficult market situation of the steel industry. Looking at the different types of transport in detail, national and transit transport decreased substantially in Tkm (-7 % and -5 % respectively), slightly offset by an increase of 1 % for international transport. However, in terms of tonnes transported the situation looks different, as international transport also decreased. These opposite trends reflect a rise in 2012 in the distances over which the goods in this product category were transported.
Coke and refined petroleum products (NST2007 division “07”) was the second most important product category transported on EU inland waterways in 2012, representing 16 % of total products transported both in terms of Tkm and tonnes. Contrary to total transport performance, transport of coke and refined petroleum products increased compared to 2011 (+ 7 % for Tkm and +4 % for tonnes). This growth is observed for all types of transport: national, international and transit.
For both of these most important product categories for EU inland waterways transport, national transport represented the largest share in terms of tonnes (57 % for ‘Metal ores and mining and quarrying products’ and 54 % for ‘Coke and refined petroleum products’). The situation is reversed when looking at Tkm, where international transport accounted for more than half of total Tkm performed for both product categories. This is logical, as the distances performed in international journeys are generally longer than for national transport.
A substantial increase of 22 % was observed from 2011 to 2012 for agricultural products (NST2007 division “01”). This rise meant that this product category rose one place in the ranking of Tkm by main product categories compared to 2011, overtaking ‘Coal and lignite; crude petroleum and natural gas’ (NST2007 division “02”) to become the third most important product category in EU inland waterways transport.
Transport of metal ores and other mining and quarrying products by country
Dutch and German inland waterways are the most significant for the transport of metal ores and other mining and quarrying products
The main country involved in the transport of metal ores and mining and quarrying products was the Netherlands, which on its own accounted for almost 40 % of the tonnes transported and 36 % of the Tkm performed (Figure 1). Germany came second according to both measures, with 21 % of the tonnes and 27 % of the Tkm. This is not surprising, as both countries have an extensive inland waterways network that plays an important role in their national transport systems. These networks are also connected to major ports such as Rotterdam and Hamburg, which are key hubs for imports to and exports from the European Union.
Belgium, France and Romania were the next three countries in the top 5. However, the order of these three countries was different when looking at tonnes or Tkm. In terms of tonnes transported, Belgium came third with a share of 17 %, followed by France (9 %) and Romania (6 %); in terms of Tkm performed, Romania, with a share of 14 %, was ahead of Belgium (8 %) and France (7 %). This situation is mainly due to journeys involving Romanian inland waterways being performed over longer distances than for the other two countries.
In terms of Tkm performed, the main route for inland waterways transport of metal ores and other mining and quarrying products is between the Netherlands and Germany, accounting for 42 % of the EU total (Table 3). The main flow is from the Netherlands to Germany (28 %), while the second most significant is the same route in the opposite direction, from Germany to the Netherlands (14%). The Netherlands was either the loading or the unloading country in five of the top ten country-to-country flows for metal ores and other mining and quarrying products; Germany was the loading or unloading country in four of the top ten flows. Belgium, Romania and Austria each made two appearances in the top ten flows. The flow from Ukraine to the Netherlands was pushed into fourth place in terms of Tkm because of the long distances covered, even though the volume of goods was relatively small. Similar considerations apply to the movements from Serbia to Romania and from the Netherlands to Austria, both of which appear in the top ten flows for metal ores and other mining and quarrying products.
When looking at volumes in tonnes, the main route was also between the Netherlands and Germany, accounting for over 50 % of the EU total (Table 4). The main country-to-country flow is not surprisingly from the Netherlands to Germany (40 %). The top 10 flows in terms of tonnes are also dominated by four countries: the Netherlands and Belgium (with 5 appearances each), Germany and France (with 4 appearances each). The picture is completed by the flow from Slovakia to Austria in seventh place.
Transport of coke and refined petroleum products by country
For coke and refined petroleum products also, Dutch and German waterways dominate inland waterways transport
The main countries involved in the inland waterways transport of coke and refined petroleum products were again the Netherlands and Germany (Figure 2). The Netherlands was first in terms of tonnes, with more than 50 % of the total transported in Europe, while it came second in terms of Tkm, with 40 % of the total. Germany was first for Tkm, with 44 % of the total, while it represented 27 % of the tonnes transported. This reflects the longer distances performed by vessels passing through German inland waterways. Belgium was in third place (12 % of tonnes transported and 5 % of Tkm performed), followed by France (6 % of tonnes transported and 4 % of Tkm performed).
In terms of Tkm performed for coke and refined petroleum products, the flows between the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium occupied the first five of the top ten country-to-country flows and accounted for over 60% of total Tkm performed on inland waterways in Europe (Table 5). The main flow is from the Netherlands to Germany, accounting for more than 25% of the total Tkm performed. Switzerland and France also appear in the top ten as unloading countries receiving goods loaded in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. The only flow in the top ten not involving either Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands is that from Romania to Serbia.
Looking at volumes of coke and refined petroleum products transported in tonnes, the picture is quite similar (Table 6). There is a predominance of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium in the top ten flows. The only flow in the top ten not involving one of these countries is from Slovakia to Austria. However, the top two flows are reversed compared to the top two flows for Tkm performed. The main flow is from the Netherlands to Belgium, accounting for more than 35 % of the total tonnes transported.
Data sources and availability
All figures presented in this article have been extracted from the Eurostat online inland waterways transport database. The related datasets are collected according to the Regulation 1365/2006 on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways implemented by the Regulation 425/2007 and amended by the Regulation 1304/2007.
14 Member States are obliged to deliver data: Belgium (BE), Bulgaria (BG), the Czech Republic (CZ), Germany (DE), France (FR), Croatia (HR), Luxembourg (LU), Hungary (HU), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT), Poland (PL), Romania (RO), Slovakia (SK) and the United Kingdom (UK). Following the requirements of Regulation 1365/2006 (article 2, point 3), the United Kingdom delivers only the reduced annual dataset E1 (annex E of the Regulation 1365/2006).
On a voluntary basis, Italy (IT), Lithuania (LT) and Finland (FI) provide the reduced dataset E1 (annex E of the Regulation 1365/2006).
Calculation of EU aggregates: In Table 2, EU-28 international and total goods transport in tonnes is calculated excluding double counting. EU-28 total international transport is calculated by adding the international loadings plus the international unloading for which the loading country is not in the EU-28. Then, the EU-28 total transport is calculated by adding national transport and the total international transport.
National inland waterways transport: Inland waterways transport between two ports of a national territory irrespective of the nationality of vessel.
International inland waterways transport: Inland waterways transport between two ports located in different national territories.
Inland waterways transit: Inland waterways transport through a national territory between two ports both located in another national territory or national territories provided that in the total journey within the national territory there is no transshipment.
Calculation of country flows: In Tables 3 and 5, presenting the Tkm results, international and transit transport reported by the Member States are taken into account. In Tables 4 and 5, presenting the results in tonnes, only international transport reported by the Member States is taken into account in order to avoid double counting. In addition, the loading country in these two tables also correspond to the reporting country.

Group 2 severe on ref abuse with rest of season suspension
GROUP 2 has drawn the line on referee abuse handing down severe penalties from Saturday's clash between South Grafton Rebels and Coffs Comets.
Jay Melrose will not play again in 2014 after he was found guilty of threatening referee James Maggio.
There were only two minutes on the clock when the incident occurred. South Grafton trailed by 12 and was lining up to kick off when Maggio suddenly sent Melrose off and blew full time.
On Tuesday evening the Group 2 judiciary heard the matter and suspended Melrose until August 25 - the day after the Group 2 grand final, effectively ending his season.
Melrose is one of South Grafton's star recruits in 2014 and is the side's kicker.
After Saturday's 34-22 loss they are in sixth spot and his suspension throws their campaign into disarray.
Did Group 2 get the punishment of Jay Melrose right?
This poll ended on 20 May 2014.
No - the suspension is too long
No - rub him out longer
Yes, spot on.
This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
Group 2 Rugby League president Warren Gilkinson would not divulge the exact words said on the field.
"The referee put his case forward and felt he was under threat," Gilkinson said.
"The player tried to downgrade the category four charge, was found guilty by the judiciary and suspended until after the grand final."
Meanwhile second rower Dwayne Duke, who was sent from the field earlier in the second half for what Gilkinson described as "continuous backchat", was handed a one-match ban.
Gilkinson said the penalties were in line with Country Rugby League's Tough Love In League policy.
"We will advise the referees that they have full support from Group 2 Management," Gilkinson said.
"Players need to sit back and not try to ref the game. They need to play to the whistle or look at the mistakes they have made in a game instead of trying to blame a ref when the decision goes against them."
At the time of print South Grafton president Ray Taunton said he had not received any formal notification from Group 2 of the penalties imposed.

Charlie Dizon was a total mood when asked about her love life on “Magandang Buhay” last Tuesday, April 27.
“Wala pa rin po,” the young star answered. She added there is no guy even attempting to court her. “Wala talaga.”
“Hindi ko rin alam bakit," she quipped.
But there’s one thing Charlie knows for sure and that is her type of guy. The 2020 MMFF Best Actress shared, “Mestizo po. Mas naa-attract ako sa mestizo talaga. Matangkad. Gusto ko siyempre 'yung mabait po sa akin talaga and sa family ko, and 'yung may goal din, may pangarap din.”
But Charlie added she’s in no rush to be in a relationship either, as her career comes first to her right now.
“Sa ngayon, mas career po talaga ako ngayon,” she said.
After earning praises for her performance in “Fan Girl” and in the Netflix-trending movie “Four Sisters Before The Wedding,” Charlie got cast as one of the leads in ABS-CBN’s upcoming series “Viral”.
She will be joined by Dimples Romana, Jake Cuenca, Ria Atayde, Louise Abuel, Vance Larena, Markus Paterson, Karina Bautista, Aljon Mendoza, Kaila Estrada, and frequent on-screen partner Jameson Blake.

Girls, Gangs, Women and Drugs
This important new work by critically the acclaimed sociologist and author of Dangerous Society makes it clear that girls and young women have become a real force in the drug culture and in 1990s urban gang life. Girls, Gangs, Women and Drugs is based on a decade of field work undertaken in the city of Detroit by one of America's foremost gang experts and his team of researchers. In the course of this investigation, Taylor and his staff interviewed hundreds of girls and young women. Based on what they learned, Dr. Taylor has prepared this spell-binding account of drugs, money, sex, and violence. He commands the reader's attention as complex webs of female gang life and drug culture are unraveled. Girls, Gangs, Women, and Drugs is a book about women, young and old; it is about gangs; it is a book about their survival in a society that has abandoned them; it is a book about women in the criminal justice system; it is about judges, attorneys, administrators of the court, and correctional officers; it is about the women who serve on the police force. It focuses on a large segment of Detroit's female population and how these women see what they are doing as committing acts of self-empowerment - the personal pursuit of their own version of the American Dream. Girls, Gangs, Women, and Drugs takes a close look at the hard economic realities of life on the street and the women who must encounter them every day. Its message is clear: female involvement with drugs and gangs is yet another facet of America's decaying urban culture, one that commands our immediate attention.

PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources AO (PKKR) is an oil producing company registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan and engaged into development of oil fields and exploration blocks in the South Turgai basin: Kumkol South, South Kumkol, Kyzylkiya, Aryskum, Maibulak, East Kumkol and North Nuraly. During its operation in Kyzylorda Oblast PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources produced more than 51 million tons of oil, including 3.1 million tons in 2009.
For the purpose of fields and associated infrastructure development PKKR has carried out a number of major projects, including construction of collector systems at the fields, infield motor roads, systems for water injection into reservoirs for the purpose of reservoir pressure maintenance, oil storage tanks, as well as drilling and completion of wells. In 2007 PKKR constructed a 10 inch gas pipeline Kyzylkiya-Aryskum, put into operation an oil gathering system at Aryskum and Kyzylkiya fields, modified the reservoir pressure maintenance system at Kumkol field and also expanded the field camp at Aryskum field to provide accommodation to 200 additional people.
In 2008 gas utilization facilities were commissioned at Kumkol, Aryskum, Kyzylkiya and Maibulak fields: the works related to the gas re-injection at Kumkol field, the gas transportation system from Kyzylkiya to Aryskum field and the gas injection system at Aryskum field was completed. All construction and installation works were also fully completed under the gas utilization project at Maibulak field. On five sites of the gas gathering system at Kumkol field the construction, installation and pre-commissioning operations were completed at the beginning of the 2nd quarter, 2009.
Within the frameworks of the gas utilization program PKKR invested more than 143 mln USD into its implementation in years 2004-2010. The Company was among the pioneers that started to develop and implement the gas utilization programs in Kazakhstan.
Investments made by PKKR in the associated gas utilization include:
- Construction of a gas turbine plant at Kumkol
- Associated gas utilization facilities at KAM fields (Kyzylkiya, Aryskum, Maibulak)
- Associated gas gathering and utilization facilities at Kumkol
In 2010 together with JV JSC Turgai Petroleum the construction of the two additional gas turbine plants with the total capacity of 50 mW had started at Kumkol oilfield. Once this facility is commissioned, the total capacity of the Kumkol field power plant will amount to 100mW, which will ensure complete putout of flares at Kumkol field.
PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources continues to be one of the major sponsors for social and charity projects in Kyzylorda Oblast. During its operation in the republic the company has allocated significant funds for the implementation of sponsorship and charity projects. Total sponsorship in 2011 amounted to 4.8 million USD. The financial support provided by PKKR to schools, kindergartens, summer camp Arai Sunrise, as well as to hospitals, clinics and other institutions, is well known in Kazakhstan. Together with Kyzylorda Oblast Akimat the Company actively participates in strengthening and supporting the social and economic development of Kyzylorda Oblast. As part of the Memorandum of Cooperation signed between PKKR and the Oblast Akimat, in 2011 the company provided more than 3 million USD for various social, cultural and sports projects in Kyzylorda Oblast, including the support for some children institutions, development of rural settlements and utilities in Kyzylorda city.

With a Labour-run City Council, Exeter has become a successful, growing city and one of the country’s best places to live, work and visit -; despite the economic crisis. But we think we can do even better -;
Providing more jobs and homes for local people, supporting communities to have a bigger say in how local services are designed and delivered, and making our city more sustainable and ready for the future.
The Tory and Lib Dem Coalition Government has announced cuts of more than 45% to the City Council’s funding, and many of those cuts are still to come. Over the coming months and years the City Council will have to make some very difficult decisions, but working closely with local communities, businesses and the rest of the public sector, we believe we can create a positive future for Exeter.
In Exeter we have seen outstanding City Council election results where we gained three seats and increased our majority. Once again, we must thank Exeter voters for putting their trust in Labour.
We have shown the value of a Labour Council engaged with the community with positive policies for fairness and growth; a popular and hard working local MP and a thriving and well organised local party.

The Waco YMF’s that were produced the thirties were available as floatplanes, and were certainly one of the most attractive American-built seaplanes available at the time. The airplane was intended as an expensive sportsman’s airplane and the added expense of the float installation made this version a rarity, but this does not speak negatively of the airplane’s ability as a floatplane. The type had plenty of wing area and also was not under-powered for float installation, so consequently they were a good performer when operated in this configuration. The company that is now in production with the new and updated Waco YMF-5 airplanes is operating one of their configurations. The company that is now in production with the new and updated Waco YMF-5 airplanes is operating one of their airplanes on a set of floats, and it is hoped that this will result in some other examples being purchased and flown as floatplanes. It would certainly be nice if the general public was able to purchase a ride in a seaplane of this distinction.

Washington, DC—As tensions around our country’s pending default crisis, a new paper from Scott Lilly, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress examines the impact potential Medicaid cuts would have on maintaining the middle class. The majority of those who benefit from Medicaid are pregnant women, the disabled and the elderly, making cuts to the vital program even more detrimental to middle class families.
In his analysis, Lilly looks at the Paul Ryan proposal adopted and passed by the Republican House majority, and what shifting costs to the states would mean for the disabled, the elderly and the ones who maintain their care. Join AEI’s Norman J. Ornstein and CAP’s Scott Lilly this Monday, July 11, 2011 at noon Eastern to discuss how Medicaid should not be a sacrificial lamb in deficit reduction deals.
FACTS ABOUT MEDICAID AND THE MIDDLE CLASS FROM “The Ryan Medicaid Plan A Threat to Middle Class Security” by Scott Lilly
The face of Medicaid is overwhelmingly middle class, some facts about the program’s beneficiaries include:
- Many elderly and disabled Medicaid beneficiaries once lived in middle class households,
- The elderly and disabled make up only 25 percent of Medicaid’s enrollees thought they account for two-thirds of Medicaid spending,
- An overwhelming number of adults receiving Medicaid are neither aged nor disabled,
- Medicaid pays for prenatal and maternity care and that care is at least partially responsible for the dramatic decreases in miscarriages and infant mortality that have taken place in this country since 1960, when Medicaid became law,
- Reducing the health care available to unborn children through the mother’s prenatal Medicaid care would reduce the number who attend school ready to learn and would also place the broader population at risk from the stand point of public health.

Give to our God immortal praise,Mercy and truth are all his ways; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song.
Give to the Lord of lords renown;The King of kings with glory crown: His mercies ever shall endure, When lords and kings are known no more.
He built the earth, he spread the sky,And fixed the starry lights on high: Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song.
He fills the sun with morning light,He bids the moon direct the night: His mercies ever shall endure, When suns and moons shall shine no more.
He sent his Son with power to saveFrom guilt and darkness and the grave: Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song.
Through this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heavenly seat: His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more. Isaac Watts ( )
Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults Lord, we confess our numerous faults; How great our guilt has been, How vain and foolish all our thoughts, How all.

A new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University finds that New Jerseyans aren’t all that enamored with their elected officials and overwhelmingly think that they are corrupt.
The FDU survey found that just 6% of state residents think politicians are “not at all corrupt,” while 80% said they view them as corrupt.
How corrupt? 34% said “somewhat corrupt,” 27% said “very corrupt,” and 19% said “a little corrupt.”
Along party lines, just 5% of Republicans said politicians are “not at all corrupt,” whereas 11% of Democrats said the same.
The numbers aren’t great even when asked specifically about the elected officials who represent them in local government. Just 13% said that they are “not at all corrupt.”
“This is Jersey, and people expect some degree of corruption,” said FDU poll director Dan Cassino. “But the fact that they think their own representatives, the people they could vote out, are corrupt is really saying something.”
The 6 percent are the politicians
Yep, you now see the Democrats are more corrupted. So stop voting for Democrats Party. Wake up and let end gas attendant, plastic bags abandoned and more further law which is unnecessary. We need change the law make thing more simple and lift nonsense in state of New Jersey.

It's a house! How cool is that?! -- The luxurious shiphouse is the retrofitted front end of the Ford Motor Company's former Benson Ford, a freighter which transported iron ore and related materials across the Great Lakes from 1924 through 1981. After the freighter was decommissioned, the four-story, forecastle was removed and placed on the island as a summer cottage.

ASTANA (AFP)–The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan on Thursday promised to continue dialogue on the bitter stand-off between their countries over Mountainous Karabagh. Presidents Robert Kocharian of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan held more than three hours of late-night talks in the Kazakh capital–mediated by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin–but gave few clues as to what had passed between them.
"We need time–the president of Azerbaijan knows our position more concretely–the process is continuing constructively," Kocharian said at a joint news conference with Aliyev.
"Further development can resolve this question; we discussed various questions on the path to a resolution," Aliyev said.
Aliyev had earlier stressed the importance of Thursday’s talks over the Mountainous Karabagh conflict–which saw the two neighbors fight a war in the early 1990s and remains unresolved. Aliyev has faced calls at home to take a bolder stand on Karabagh and the thousands of Azeris who have fled the disputed area.
International mediators have urged face-to-face meetings between the two sides–but with the transition of power in Azerbaijan from Aliyev’s father Heydar to Ilham–talks have faltered.
The two leaders on Wednesday held two-way talks before joining Putin for more discussions.
"I am happy to see that you have not lost your optimism. . . and are continuing dialogue at the highest level," Putin said as the talks began in Astana–on the sidelines of a meeting of leaders of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) member countries.
"Hopes are very high–despite the complexity of the problem," Putin said–adding that "whatever the result–a meeting of three leaders is always a step forwards."
Aliyev thanked Russia for taking part in the summit talks. "Our neighbor Russia–co-president of the Minsk Group–plays a key part in the settlement," he said.
The Minsk Group–comprising France–Russia–and the United States–has been mediating between the two states for the past decade.

NLC India Ltd, a public sector mining and power production corporation, is planning to build a 1,000 MW solar power plant in Assam in collaboration with the state government.
NLC India has been in contact with the State government over the sale of electricity generated by the Ghatampur thermal power plant in Kanpur district, which is getting built by a joint venture of NLC India and the Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.
During the meetings, the Assam government suggested that NLC India build a 1,000 MW solar power plant in the state as a joint venture with the Assam Power Distribution Company, controlled by the government of Assam.
Rakesh Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of NLC India, said on Saturday that the company will own a 51 percent share in the solar joint venture. Assam will purchase the plant’s power at a rate that would yield a 12 percent return on equity.
“We are given to understand that Assam has examined the pros and cons of setting up solar plants in other regions of the country and decided that it would be better to set up the plant in Assam, despite the lower capacity utilization factor,” he added.
NLC India, a thermal power company, has lately expanded into renewable energy. It was the first public sector corporation to hold 1,000 MW of renewable energy capacity, predominantly solar, a few years ago. The firm now has 1,421 MW of renewable energy capacity, with 51 MW of wind and the remainder being solar.

$287K grant to help fund Port Huron bike path project
A new bike route is being planned through Port Huron, which would run along the Black River Canal to connect school properties in the area. While many of the specifics are up in the air, the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Board of Trustees recommended the project for $287,000 in grant funding. A formal grant offer will be made after the state legislature appropriates funds.
The trail project is part of the larger Bridge to Bay bike trail project, which seeks to stitch together local bike paths to create a trail system connecting New Baltimore, Port Huron and other surrounding areas. The newest planned improvements come through a partnership between Community Foundation of St. Clair County and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, Port Huron Parks and Recreation Director Nancy Winzer said.
"This one will be along the Black River Canal in connecting the schools there by Port Huron Northern, and to the adjacent neighborhoods in that area," Winzer said.
The trail project is still very early in the development process, with the route not finalized and engineering still needing to be done. There is not yet an estimate for the total cost of the project, Winzer said.
The decision to link up the area around the canal came from focus groups seeking input from local cyclists about where they would like to see trails, Winzer said.
"This was a team effort, to really pull off something extraordinary across the county and region," Port Huron City Manager James Freed said.
In August, the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation announced $1.55 million in trail grants to help with the Bridge to Bay Trail system, along with $275,000 for renovations to Lighthouse Park and the trail head. The Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan granted $147,500 for trail maintenance.
The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund was established in 1976 to fund land acquisition and development projects for outdoor recreation and resource protection. For 2021, it has announced $37.8 million in development and land acquisition projects, which includes the recommended Port Huron grant.
A list of the trust fund's final recommendations can be found at Michigan.gov/MNRTF.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA—Abortion will remain safe and legal in Nebraska. Nebraska state senators voted to block a proposed abortion ban, which would have eliminated abortion in Nebraska is federal protections fall. The vote reflects a significant shift in support for reproductive freedom among Nebraska lawmakers during the past decade.
Commonly called a “trigger law,” LB933 would have banned all abortions in Nebraska if federal protections for abortion are overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, which could happen as soon as this summer. Senators took the full eight hours of debate on the bill and those trying to ban abortion did not have the votes needed to en debate on the bill.
“Today’s vote to keep abortion safe and legal in Nebraska is a tremendous victory. Over the last decade, we have seen a gradual shift politically in Nebraska toward supporting reproductive freedom,” said Andi Curry Grubb, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Nebraska. “We are grateful to every single Nebraskan who stood up to say an abortion ban does not belong in our state. Every person deserves the right to control their body and their futures. These bans go beyond abortion. It’s about who has power over you, who has the authority to make decisions for you, and who can control how your future is going to be.”
The trigger ban was introduced during a time of national uncertainty around federal abortion protections. The U.S. Supreme Court in December heard oral arguments regarding a 15-week ban in Mississippi that directly challenges the protections established by Roe v. Wade almost 50 years ago. The Court is expected to release a ruling this summer. Many expect the court to overrule or gut Roe v. Wade, which would immediately trigger abortion bans like the one proposed in LB933.The Court has also declined to intervene in Texas’ six-week abortion ban that places enforcement in the hands of private citizens.
If the Court erodes or eliminates the federal right to abortion, Nebraska’s 49 state senators would decide the future of abortion access. Abortion in Nebraska is already highly restricted by laws that place burdensome, medically unnecessary requirements on patients and providers. The Guttmacher Institute categorizes the state as hostile to reproductive rights.
“No matter what comes next, Nebraskans have made it clear: We need safe, legal abortion in Nebraska,” Curry Grubb said. “Abortion remains safe and legal in the state, and Planned Parenthood is proud to offer abortion care. Every person and pregnancy is different, and we cannot know all of the factors that go into a person’s decision. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure patients can continue to access the full range of sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion.”
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Nebraska Action Fund, formerly PP Voters of Nebraska, is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization. As the advocacy and electoral arm of PPNCS, we mobilize supporters of all parties to defend and increase access to family planning services and fact based, medically accurate sexuality education. We work to inspire and engage citizens to take up the cause of reproductive health and rights through education, electoral activity, grassroots organizing and legislative advocacy.

Chancery Finds AT&T Failed to Satisfy Entire Fairness Review in a Freeze-Out of Minority Partners in Local Spectrum Partnership
In re Cellular Telephone P’ship Litig., Coordinated C.A. No. 6885-VCL (Del. Ch. Mar. 9, 2022)
A controller that stands on both sides of a freeze-out transaction has the burden to prove that its acquisition was entirely fair to minority partners in terms of the acquisition’s process and price. The freeze-out of minority partners at an opportune time for the controller may not satisfy entire fairness review.
AT&T Mobility Wireless Operations Holdings LLC (“AT&T”) owned more than a 98 percent interest in a partnership that held the license to provide cellular telephone services in a geographic area near Salem, Oregon. AT&T controlled the partnership and anticipated an explosion in growth as the demand for wireless services surged. AT&T proposed a freeze-out transaction that it characterized as an effort to save on administrative costs and simplify corporate structure. Its proposal to the minority partners involved a valuation developed by a financial expert who had a long history of working with AT&T and who deferred to AT&T to adjust his calculations. AT&T’s proposal included a five percent premium over its expert’s valuation if the minority partners accepted the proposal.
The Court held that the controller freeze-out transaction failed to meet both prongs of the entire fairness test—fair process and fair price. Here, there was no special committee, bargaining, or majority of the minority vote requirement for the acquisition. AT&T hid its strong internal projections and provided misleading answers to questions about valuation and the expert’s history with AT&T. The Court closely examined AT&T’s valuation methodologies and pointed out departures from the valuation used during the acquisition. The Court noted that AT&T’s model failed to factor in the minority partners’ contractual rights to premiums on revenue and discounts on cost, failed to align with AT&T’s contemporaneous beliefs about value, and contained inputs with critical errors and outdated metrics. The Court expressed concern with a perpetuity growth rate lower than inflation and the use of a corporate tax rate for a pass-through entity. Proposed comparable companies were not sufficiently reliable given the nature of the partnership in comparison to integrated telecommunications companies, and proposed comparable transactions were not reliable given that none involved a discrete entity whose asset was spectrum.
The Court awarded the plaintiffs damages equal to the difference between the consideration they received and a pro-rata share of the fair value of the partnership as determined by the Court. To calculate fair value at the time of the freeze-out, the Court used a discounted cash flow model that corrected for errors in AT&T’s expert’s model. The Court assumed no entity-level tax given the operative reality of the partnership and added a size premium because of local risks to the partnership even though it was part of a national entity.Share

ICANN today revealed its big list of applicants for 1,930 new generic top-level domains. Google has applied to claim 101 of those new gTLD extensions, from .ads to .zip. Microsoft has also applied for .bing, while Yahoo seeks .yahoo.
Google had already announced that it was targeting gTLDs such as .google, .youtube, and .lol, to name a few – at a cost of $185,000 per domain. Now we have the full list – one that adds up to more than $18.6 million, and it isn’t guaranteed that Google will get all the gTLDs it has applied for.
Google is facing competition for ownership of the several gTLDs. Amazon is Google’s biggest competitor, with both companies bidding on 21 of the same domains, including .search, .play, and .drive.
Here are the names of all the contested gTLDs, followed by the total number of applicants in parenthesis:.app (13).baby (5).blog (9).book (9).buy (5).cloud (7).corp (6).cpa (6).dds (2).dev (2).diy (2).docs (2).dog (3).dot (2).drive (2).earth (2).family (3).film (3).free (5).fun (3).fyi (2).game (5).gmbh (6).goo (2).home (11).inc (11).live (3).llc (9).llp (4).lol (2).love (7).mail (7).map (3).mba (3).med (4).mom (2).moto (2).movie (8).music (8).pet (2).phd (2).play (4).plus (2).search (4).shop (9).show (4).site (5).spot (3).srl (2).store (7).talk (2).team (4).tech (6).tube (3).vip (6).web (7).wow (3).you (2)
What’s this competition mean for Google? ICANN will be accepting public comments and objections, and they must pass a “rigorous, objective and independent evaluation system,” before being awarded any of these new domains.
“A 60-day comment period begins today, allowing anyone in the world to submit comments on any application, and the evaluation panels will consider them,” Senior Vice President Kurt Pritz said in a statement. “If anyone objects to an application and believes they have the grounds to do so, they can file a formal objection to the application. And they will have seven months to do that.”
Here are the other uncontested domains Google has applied for:.ads.and.android.are.boo.cal.car.channel.chrome.dad.day.dclk.eat.esq.est.fly.foo.gbiz.gle.gmail.goog.google.guge.hangout.here.how.ing.kid.meme.mov.new.nexus.page.prod.prof.rsvp.soy.tour.youtube.zip.???.????.??
In addition to applying for the .bing gTLD, Microsoft also put in two applications that Google has also applied for: .docs and .live. Microsoft’s other applications are for .azure, .hotmail, .microsoft, .office, .skydrive, .skype, .windows, and .xbox.
Yahoo only applied for two of the new extensions: .yahoo and .flickr.
Top foreign search engines have also gotten in on the bidding. Baidu has bid on .baidu while Yandex has applied for .yandex.
Other tibits: Seems nobody has scooped up .seo or .ppc yet. Only one applicant for .social; four for .video; three for .mobile.
Amazon, not Facebook, has gone after .like. Also potentially worrying for reputation management: there were three applicants for the .sucks gTLD.Register now and receive the low Pre-Agenda Rate for SES San Francisco 2012, taking place August 13-17.

For the 70% of people who use Android over Apple IOS, some of you may have noticed that when sending SMS messages, they turn into RCS chats instead. I noticed this the other day when the RCS message failed. Android will use RCS over Wi-Fi, when both mobile phones support RCS.
SMS vs RCS: Understanding the Key Differences
Short Message Service (SMS) and Rich Communication Services (RCS) are two messaging technologies used for sending text messages and multimedia content between mobile devices. While SMS has been around since the early days of mobile phones, RCS is a more recent development aimed at providing users with a richer and more interactive messaging experience. In this article, we'll explore the key differences between SMS and RCS chat.
Limited to 160 characters per message.
Supports only plain text messages.
No read receipts or typing indicators.
No support for high-resolution images or videos.
Limited group messaging functionality.
Increased character limit, allowing for longer messages.
Supports rich media, such as high-resolution images, videos, and audio messages.
Provides read receipts and typing indicators.
Enhanced group messaging features, including the ability to name groups, add or remove participants, and leave a group.
Offers interactive elements, like buttons and suggested replies, for a more engaging experience.
Universal compatibility with all mobile phones, regardless of the device or operating system.
Does not require an internet connection.
Requires a compatible device and operating system, as well as support from the mobile carrier.
Requires an internet connection, as messages are sent over data networks.
Lacks end-to-end encryption, making messages potentially vulnerable to interception.
Relies on the security provided by the mobile carrier.
Offers improved security features, such as end-to-end encryption (although not universally implemented).
Messages are stored on the device rather than the carrier's servers, offering more control over message privacy.
Typically charged per message or included as part of a mobile plan with a set number of messages per month.
May incur additional fees for international messaging.
Uses mobile data or Wi-Fi for messaging, so costs are associated with data usage.
No additional fees for international messaging, as long as data usage is covered.
Widely adopted and used globally by billions of people.
Still in the process of being adopted by mobile carriers, device manufacturers, and users around the world.
In conclusion, RCS chat offers a more feature-rich and interactive messaging experience compared to SMS. However, its adoption has been slower due to the need for support from mobile carriers and device manufacturers, as well as compatibility issues. Nonetheless, as RCS continues to gain traction, it is expected to become a popular alternative to traditional SMS messaging.


02 September 2016, Lagos – Prominent Nigerians have been named in an alleged conspiracy to undermine Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, and the leadership of the giant state-owned oil major ENI.
There are indications that the Nigerian involvement is linked to the controversy around the 2011 sale of the oil block OPL245 from the indigenous company Malabu to Shell and ENI, a transaction mired in allegations of corruption.
The plotters are accused of circulating damaging rumours about ENI CEO, Claudio Descalzi and that Prime Minister Renzi, a supporter of Descalzi, was an agent of Mossad, the Israeli Intelligence Service. The conspiracy theory is trending in Italian media. Investigation on the oil deal has been ongoing.
As part of their investigation, the Italian prosecutors in May 2014 asked the UK’s CPS to freeze $85m in assets related to a Nigerian company, Malabu Oil & Gas, that prosecutors say was involved in the sale, according to a copy of the official request sent by the Milan investigators and seen by Reuters.
In the letter, the Italian prosecutors alleged that Scaroni and Descalzi oversaw the payments to parties who helped secure the sale. In a second letter they alleged that some of the ultimate recipients of alleged bribes used the money to buy aircraft and armoured cars. “We are investigating many money transfers to many people in various countries who received sums that vary from millions of dollars to thousands of dollars,” the prosecutors said in the follow-up letter.
In response to the requests London’s Southwark Crown Court granted an order to seize the $85m in assets related to Malabu. London’s Metropolitan Police has also been investigating aspects of the Nigerian deal. A police spokesperson said the inquiry into allegations of money laundering is continuing. Descalzi and Scaroni, in statements and through their lawyers, denied that they were involved in any illegal behaviour. Descalzi also told Eni employees in an email seen by Reuters that he had not engaged in any wrongdoing.

Bayelsa To Conduct LG Polls In 2018
Yenagoa – Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has indicated that his administration would conduct local government council elections in the first quarter of 2018.
He gave the indication at the weekend while swearing in newly-appointed chairmen of caretaker committees for the eight local government councils at Government House, Yenagoa.
Four of the former chairmen, Michael Magbisa (Sagbama), Wisdom Fafi (Kolokuma/Opokuma), Oboku Oforji (Yenagoa) and Tolu Amatu (Ekeremor) were re-appointed by the governor.
Dickson had in June 2017 dissolved the previous caretaker committees about 14 months after he hand-picked them into office, but he did not give reasons for the executive action.
He had been under pressure by concerned groups to conduct local council elections. They contend that the 1999 Constitution, as amended, does not have a place for caretaker committees for local governments.
He, however, told the new council bosses that they would spend only six months in office, “particularly as the local government elections are scheduled to take place next year.”
Since April 2016 when he appointed the first caretaker committees for the councils, the governor had been crying that the government did not have funds to conduct local government polls.
The governor described the six-month tenure of the new chairmen as “critical”.

So, recently John Harper released a mini-game called World of Dungeons to help push the Dungeon World Kick-Starter campaign. Story-games has been buzzing about it a lot lately. I showed it to a few members of my gaming group (now that I’m back in South Florida…ugh) and they seemed really interested, but didn’t really want to get into any sword and sworcery stories. So, since I’ve been itching to get them running the shadows in Seattle, I made a pretty much straight up trace I call “World of Shadows”.

WORLD OF DIAMONDS
– The Inside Story of the Miners, Cutters, Smugglers, Lovers, and
Investors, by Timothy Green, 9 1/2 X 6 1/4, 300 pages, hard cover.
A double page size map is included, showing the main Diamond mining
areas, cutting centers, and markets on a worldwide basis.
This book is the first inside story of the international Diamond
business. Timothy Green’s
approach is very much as a journalist, not as a gemologist, as he traces
the intricate network of this fraternity to discover who mines, who
markets, who smuggles, and who buys Diamonds today.
The author traveled over 50,000 miles in researching this book,
from London to Tokyo, from Kimberley, South Africa to Rio de Janeiro, from
Antwerp to Tel Aviv and Bombay. Chapters include the Diamond in history, mining in different
countries from Australia to Zaire and everywhere in between (as
illustrated on the map included in the book).
The author then gives an account of the sales procedures, including
inside information on the marketplaces where Diamonds are sold.
The final chapter shares information on the buying of Diamonds.
The inside and outside of the book are in like new condition., with
the dust jacket a little scuffed. Published

WORLD'S FINEST MINERALS AND CRYSTALS
- By Dr. Peter Bancroft, 9 3/4 X 11 1/2, 176 pages, with 80 full page,
full color plates, a large map showing important worldwide
mining locations, and a worldwide geographical directory of
important mineral museum collections.
In The World's Finest Minerals and Crystals, Dr. Bancroft brought
together a series of magnificent photographs of outstanding minerals
nominated for acclaim by enthusiasts all over the world.
An international panel of judges participated in choosing the very
finest examples for inclusion in this book.
In the text, the author explains how minerals are formed and where
they are found, and how some of the world's finest collections were begun.
Modern methods of collecting and conservation are discussed. The notes that accompany each plate describe the history and
characteristics of the pictured specimen, tell where other fine examples
may be seen, and describe the important locations around the world in
which these minerals originate. This
volume was not intended to be merely a picture book or a scientific
journal. Rather, the
continuous objective was to search out and photograph some of the best
minerals in the world. A
number of the minerals shown are very rare; quite a few are illustrated
here for the first time. Since
there is no known standard for measuring the quality of minerals, this
volume serves as a benchmark in quality, in this area.

Have you ever planted a flower, a vegetable, or perhaps a tree, and then discovered your ancestors planted the very same thing long ago? This happened to a gentleman who recently planted fields with pine trees.
This gentleman has always loved the scent of pine. Whenever he drives behind a truck carrying fallen pines, he is more than happy to follow the truck wherever it goes. It has been said that the scent of pine can have a positive therapeutic effect, but in this case, it seems to go beyond that point. This gentleman's library is full of tree books, including a few rare tomes devoted to pine trees. So when the opportunity arose to plant pines as part of a conservation program, you can imagine his delight!
As it turns out, there was a pine-grower along the Y-DNA line of his paternal ancestry, as well. Estate documents from the 1800's indicated land and numerous tools that were used for the ancestor's pine tar business near Wilmington, North Carolina. You may have heard of the North Carolina Tar Heels, so yes, pine tar was a vital industry at that time. If you are familiar with the Wilmington area, then you know that pines seem to be the predominant tree. Yet, this gentleman does not live near Wilmington.
Is it possible that pines have formed an invisible thread between these generations?


ANGRY residents have hit out at councillors for approving controversial plans for a new housing estate in Cam that will see the local authority net a windfall of up to £150,000.
Developers Robert Hitchings have had four planning applications for 20 to 30 homes surrounding Grade II listed building, Tilsdown House, turned down in the past 10 years.
However Stroud District Council's development control committee gave the go-ahead to a 12-house development in Springfields on one side of the building at a meeting on Tuesday, December 11.
The application received 31 letters of objection from residents who were concerned about extra traffic that would be generated.
It comes after the council agreed a deal with the developers in July to sell a piece of land which gains access to the site for a third of the proceeds from its future sale – providing planning permission was agreed – netting the council a potential £150,000.
Of the nine-strong committee, two voted against the application and seven for, yet no councillor spoke of their full support for the application.
Robert Combes, who has lived at Springfields for 15 years, spoke out at the meeting.
"This application is different because what I call an incentive is on offer of £150,000 which I believe is a disgrace," he said.
"I would ask you, who are voting tonight, would you vote away your parking near your houses and homes? I think not.
"The estate was never designed to take through traffic. It will ruin the community spirit that prevails at the moment."
Head of planning Phil Skill said the case officer's recommendation was based on the fact that the proposed estate no longer covered the area in front of the house.
"We were obliged to sell the land as it would allow the development to take place and the money could be used for the public good."
Mr Skill also said the Highways Department believed the road could take the increase in traffic and that alternative parking was already available.
Justin Wilmshurst and his wife Sarah are hoping to purchase Tilsdown House with a view to conserve it and make it their family home.
"I’m very disappointed in the decision, I don’t think they have listened to their voters," he said.
"Nobody at all has complimented the application, no one had anything positive to say about it. I am appalled after seeing so many objections.
"It is not democracy. It stinks."
In response to the complaints, a spokesman for Stroud District Council said: "Our planners and councillors make recommendations and decisions on applications using their professional knowledge and experience.
"Whilst people will naturally feel disappointed when an application, which they do not favour, is approved, it should be remembered that these decisions are made on the planning merits alone."

As companies migrate their computing infrastructure to the cloud, a whole new batch of security concerns arise. The Heartbleed bug that has caused so many headaches among companies on the Web in recent weeks is an example of the sort of unforeseen vulnerability that makes CIOs reach for their antacids.
In many cases they’re getting over it and making the move anyway, though the worries haven’t evaporated. But a new generation of security companies are evolving and getting ready to help them. One of them, a startup called Synack, today announced that it has raised $7.5 million in a round led by Kleiner Perkins. Ted Schlein, a general partner at Kleiner, led the deal.
Other investors included Google Ventures, Greylock Partners, Allegis Capital and Derek Smith, the CEO of Shape Security, which is itself a new security startup with funding from Kleiner. Synack previously raised a $1.5 million seed round.
Synack’s CEO is Jay Kaplan, who spent four years as an analyst with the U.S. National Security Agency. It was at the agency’s headquarters in Fort Meade, Md., that he met co-founder Mark Kuhr. They left the agency together in early 2013 and formed Synack shortly thereafter. Their plan is basically to build an army of skilled, closely vetted hackers who will probe the Web for new security vulnerabilities. “We’re bringing together a set of diverse skill sets, people who are really good at what they do,” Kaplan told me. “The point is to find these security problems before they become business problems.”
Most run-of-the-mill attacks are automated, essentially computer programs that probe many targets at once for one of many known vulnerabilities. And to a certain extent defending against them is automated too. But the newest and most advanced attack techniques are hard to program a computer to recognize because they haven’t been seen before.
The migration to a cloud infrastructure presents one of those opportunities for new kinds of unanticipated vulnerabilities. “Generally speaking, organizations are not well-equipped to deal with these new security vulnerabilities.”
That’s where the human element comes in, Kaplan says. Synack’s army of researchers will push the boundaries and find the undiscovered flaws — perhaps the next Heartbleed? — and help the company’s clients find and fix them in their own infrastructure before they become widely known by would-be attackers.
The company hasn’t disclosed any customers — security companies almost never do — but Kaplan says it is working with several firms in the financial services, health care, education and retail sectors. Part of the new funding will help cover the cost of recruiting more researchers.

NIRH worked closely with Pro-Choice Missouri (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri) to pass Board Bill 212, to improve and protect the reproductive rights and health care access of incarcerated people by ensuring access to quality prenatal and postpartum health care, nutritious food, and tampons or pads.
A significant achievement of this bill is to limit the restraint of pregnant throughout their pregnancies and post-partum period while in custody.
In 2018, the Missouri General Assembly passed protections for pregnant women who are incarcerated at Dept. of Corrections facilities, but local governments were not included. Board Bill 212 aims to protect people who are incarcerated in St. Louis.

Hairspray is a social commentary on the injustices of parts of American society in the 1960s.


29 January 2020 – Anaheim, Calif. – Metro Aviation today announced the delivery of the first American-made EC145e, which was completed for Duke Life Flight of Duke Health based in Durham, North Carolina. This is the first of two EC145e aircraft with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capability that Metro is completing for the program.
“From beginning to end, the aircraft completion process has been seamless; we actually took delivery sooner than expected!” said Duke Life Flight’s program director Rene’ Borghese, RN, MSN, CMTE. “We are thrilled with our new EC145e and look forward to taking delivery of the second aircraft very soon.”
As Duke Life Flight’s first EC145e, the program can expect a powerful, reliable and affordable light twin helicopter.
A new kind of aircraft manufactured in America
The helicopter industry first met the EC145e at during HELI-EXPO in 2015 when Metro was announced as the launch customer for the aircraft. Today, the company has taken orders for more than 20 of the prominent aircraft. What makes the variant special, though, is the increase in useful load, which allows the aircraft to fly at higher altitudes, for a longer duration and with a higher safety margin.
Metro has continued to improve the variant’s performance features. In 2019, Metro partnered with Genesys AeroSystems to include an SP/DPIFR system – a major update from the basic VFR platform originally launched with the aircraft. Now, customers like Duke Life Flight can fly with expanded service capability.
Similar to many Metro clients, the Duke team opted for Metro’s standard medical interior, allowing the team to care for patients needing:
- Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
- Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps
- Nitric Oxide Ventilation
- Transport Isolettes
EC145e Pricing and Availability
The EC145e is currently available to customers worldwide with a starting price point well below comparably sized aircraft. Given the limited amount of availability, Metro recommends those interested contact the Metro team and reserve their aircraft now. For more information, visit www.metroaviation.com or visit HELI- EXPO booth #3624.
About Metro Aviation:

Nick Riewoldt believes Melbourne have lost their “edge” and “hunger” for the contest as they slumped to 1-4 following a dismal showing against St Kilda on Saturday.
Entering 2019 as a premiership contender, the Demons' finals hopes were severely dented after going down to the tenacious Saints by 40 points at the MCG.
One marking contest late in the match caught the attention of the St Kilda great, saying it epitomised the Dees’ lack of stomach for the fight.
“They look like they’ve lost their edge and their hunger for the contest,” Riewoldt told SEN Breakfast.
“I saw a contest late in the game against St Kilda: Tim Membrey’s about 6’2 and he’s a two-foot jumper.
“He stood on both feet, jumped up in the air next to (Braydon) Preuss and Max Gawn … and he basically marked it uncontested.
“Max Gawn could have stood there, taken his body … it looked like he was allergic to body contact.”
Simon Goodwin’s side face Richmond in the traditional Anzac Day Eve clash at the MCG tomorrow night in a match they simply must win.
