STORY AND PHOTOS BY JANIE ROSMAN
Anticipated to open last December, then early 2017 and then spring/summer 2017, the new Tappan Zee Bridge’s westbound span will open sometime later this year, unless plans change again.
Its 3.1-miles connected Rockland and Westchester counties in late March, when the final and smallest section of structural steel was set in place.
“We can take construction vehicles across the span; it will be a few more months before it’s ready for passenger vehicles,” outreach educator Dan Marcy said last week during a Historical Society of Rockland County’s river tour that included the bridge project.
Crews finished installing precast concrete roofs on the four westbound towers this month, when the first of four temporary crosswalks was removed. They’re no longer needed since permanent access elevators that ascend the towers at a five-degree angle matching the towers’ slop are installed and operating.
At 138 feet above the Hudson River, the bridge’s highest point was just about one-third the height of the 419-foot tower. Our view — while vastly different from the topping off ceremony six months earlier — afforded a river-level comparison to the current bridge.
Lesser grade (incline/decline) means trucks will have an easier drive on approach spans. Piers heights change depending upon where vehicles are on the crossing, Marcy said,
The shortest piers — supporting the structural steel that bears concrete road deck panels — are a few feet above the river on the Rockland approach; the tallest piers, near the main span, are more than 130 feet high
With eight gantries installed on the full span, workers continue testing the gantries’ variable message signs. Crews are installing fencing, roadway barriers, lighting fixtures and final roadway surfacing — a one-inch durable polymer overlay over the deck panels that will have lane markings — and continue testing its aesthetic LED (light emitting diodes) system.
Nearby Rockland residents felt the roadway lights were too bright; however, project officials said the lights, diagnostically checked via wireless connections, will be neither as harsh nor as bright when the spans open.
More than three-quarters (150) of the 192 stay cables varying from 190 to 623 feet have been installed; cable diameters increase in size as they move away from the towers to support the 74-million-pound main span roadway
Formwork covers part of the foundation for the new maintenance facility in Tarrytown maintenance facility; steel fabrications will be installed this month while crews continue constructing foundations for the state police facility on the south side of the Westchester landing.
State troopers and bridge maintenance crews relocated to 160 N. Route 303 in West Nyack — Zone 1 headquarters for New Rochelle, Newburgh and now Tarrytown barracks — three years earlier and will move back next year.
Marcy said it would take another year beyond when the westbound span opens to finish and connect the eastbound span to the landings. “By the end of 2018, we’ll have traffic on both spans,” he said.
One of the 245 trade contractors and professional firms hired for the project is New York Geomatics, which provides surveying and layout.
Owner and president Ralph Perez LS, FCInstCES, explained, “We take the (project design team) HDR’s design and lay it out in the real World.From 2 dimensional concept to reality. Since it is a design/build, much of the information the design team works with requires field verification. Among NYG’s tasks is to field verify exisiting conditions in order for the designers to ensure the accuracy of their design.”
NYG also field measures and provides dimensional control at the various fabrication yards. Whether the pieces were fabricated in New Hampshire or in Virginia, Perez said, “We ensure that by the time they get to Tarrytown and the project site they fit.”
“Everything should fit in theory like jigsaw puzzles,” he said. “It’s sequential; for example, the elevations and the horizontal alignment have to be correct initially in order for all the components that follow to fit.”
The company’s creativity was imminent when challenged by the main span towers’ geometry. “It was so complex because they have a unique shape and size,” Perez noted. “Conventional methods and software were not adequate, since one of our areas of expertise is Tunnel Surveying, we decided to treat the pylons as Vertical Tunnels, so we used tunneling software to create a model of it.”

A novel approach to deliver hormones using T cells is shown in mice in Nature Communications this week. The research shows the approach is effective in reducing symptoms of anaemia in mouse models of kidney disease.
Patients affected by hormone deficiencies require the delivery of a recombinant protein, the production of which is costly and which needs to be administered via repeated injections. One example is erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that regulates production of red blood cells. Previous studies in animal models have used viral-based delivery of EPO, but drawbacks include that this method can produce an immune response, and limited control of EPO production. An alternative approach has used the transfer of cells from transgenic mice, which were modified to express EPO in B lymphocytes, into EPO-deficient mice.
Matthew Wilson and colleagues used a non-viral system to modify T cells directly to express EPO, without the need for their production by a transgenic organism. The cells were then transferred into anaemic mouse models of kidney disease. The treatment succeeded in inducing EPO expression and increasing red blood cell production in the mice for up to 20 weeks. They also demonstrated that the engraftment of T cells and EPO expression could be stimulated by vaccination.
These results show that T cells may represent a suitable system for delivery of EPO, and suggest that they may also be used for the delivery of other peptides for the treatment of different medical conditions.

When Marnie Was There
A sophisticated and unique narrative structure supports this beautifully animated film.
Studio Ghibli's When Marnie Was Here is a beautifully animated film with a unique and uncommon storyform. This unusual--yet still fully functional--take on narrative structure sets the film apart from most animated fare.
Take any Pixar or Disney film and you will typically find the
Main Character Throughline in
Situation and the
Objective Story Throughline in
Activity. Po, Mr. Incredible, Woody in Toy Story 2, and Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon all share a common problem with their physicality. Po is fat, Mr. Incredible is overweight and stuck in a dead end job, Woody is falling apart, and Hiccup is a 98 lb. weakling. The same kind of conflict, just wrapped up in a different package.
Contrast that with Anna from When Marnie Was Here: she hates herself.
This is not some happy-bouncy-lampy thing here. Anna's perception of herself outside of the circle with everyone else inside defines her dysfunctional
Way of Thinking. Like Hamlet before her, Anna's problem is how she thinks and specifically, how she thinks of herself (
Main Character Problem: Self-Aware).
Hard to imagine talking toys dealing with the same thing.
In fact Marnie's
Objective Story Throughline--the part of the story that encompasses everyone--isn't about fighting, or getting back home, or training how to kill dragons. It is something vastly more sophisticated and heady: the imbalance in the story that everyone feels revolves around Anna's depression and her inability to recall her relationship with her Grandma. Most films spell out their Objective Story Throughline in the title: Finding Nemo, Star Wars, A Separation. The same happens here--but in the original Japanese title. Omoide no Mani litterally translates to Marnie of [my] Memories. Seems the Japanese might know a thing or two about exploring problems having to do with
Fixed Attitudes affects everyone from her foster mother Yariko to the Oiwa's who take her in to the "fat pig" Nobuko and ultimately to Marnie herself. Even the little girl who befriends her, Sayaka, the one who provides her ample
Evidence from which to force those recollections (
Objective Story Issue, along with the silo and the house), can't comprehend why Anna seems to have forgotten everything.
But Anna has. Instead of addressing the
Objective Story Problem of
Self-Aware, she focuses on her longing to be with Marnie and her ability or inability to make it through the marsh (
Objective Story Focus: Desire and
Objective Story Direction: Ability). The ebb and flow of that emotional tide between Marnie and Anna reflects beautifully the heart of the story--the
Relationship Story Throughline.
Separated by the veil that sits between life and death, both Marnie and Anne find themselves unable to accurately predict when they will run in to one another again (
Relationship Story Issue: Prediction and
Relationship Story Throughline: Situation). Even the title, When Marnie Was There, suggests an emotional loss occurring because one is no longer there. That unfairness, or abandonment at too young an age, keeps them coupled together across time (
Relationship Story Problem: Inequity) and draws them ever closer. It is only once Anna forgives Marnie for leaving that she is able to rise above the tide of her own emotions, removing that self-hating chip on her shoulder and finding relief from her grief in the process (
Relationship Story Solution: Equity,
Main Character Growth: Stop, and
Story Judgment: Good).
Hisako's unraveling of Marnie's story flips the last switch in Anna's emotional growth. By drawing Anna out of her compulsive self-obsessions and woe is me thought process, Hisako makes it possible for Anna to become more aware of what is really going on around her (
Main Character Issue: Circumstances and
Objective Story Solution: Aware). With that growth in place, Anna can tend to things outside of her own circle and finally remember her grandmother's face (
Main Character Solution: Aware and
Story Outcome: Success).
When Marnie Was a There reflects more than simply cultural differences in storytelling. Sure, the
Main Character Problem-Solving Style of
Holistic is typically only found outside of the States, but it is the entirety of the storyform itself that truly sets this film apart.1 Marnie feels like a sophisticated play because its areas of conflict mimic familiar fare like Hamlet and 12 Angry Men.
The brain trust at Pixar, and now Disney, always pride themselves on looking to Miyazaki and Co. for inspiration. They would do well to break out of their own preconceptions and examine this film for its unique and refined structure. If When Marnie Was There is any indication, we can write something more emotionally complex. Something beautifully moving. We just need to keep ourselves aware of what is out there, lest we crawl back into our own walled circles and tend to our wounds of self-hatred with the same story.

|Thomas Sancton in 1942|
In the flood of commentary about the shakeup at The New Republic, there have been numerous criticisms of the magazine as being, in the words of Ta-Nehesi Coates, “an entirely white publication, which published stories confirming white people's worst instincts.” [Atlantic, 12/9/14] That may be true of the Peretz era, but there was a time in TNR’s earlier history when the magazine was famous—or infamous in some circles—for the race articles by its firebrand Managing Editor demanding immediate and full racial equality. That man was my father, Thomas Sancton (Sr.), who served as M.E. from 1942 to 1945.
During those years, Sancton published dozens of articles denouncing segregation and taking to task the timidity of most other liberals on the race question. I can’t say whether his personal passion for racial equality represented TNR’s editorial position at the time—the main focus then was on the war against Hitler—but Sancton took advantage of his rank to place his own articles in the magazine throughout his tenure. “I controlled the pages,” he once told me, “so I could publish whatever I wanted.”
Sancton was almost unique among southern liberals for his radical stand on the race question. Among other things, he wrote about lynchings, race riots, the so-called Negro Press, the work of black writers, the northward migration of southern blacks. He even called FDR to task for not speaking out against segregation and racial discrimination, an article that Eleanor Roosevelt herself promised to “bring to the attention of the President.” He befriended prominent black intellectuals, including W.E.B. Du Bois, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, Roi Ottley, Henry Lee Moon. His race articles were denounced on the floor of the House of Representatives by the segregationist congressman John Rankin—a call-out that he wore as a badge of honor—and attracted the attention of Henry Luce, who hired him away from TNR to write about racial issues for LIFE. After a brief stint there, he decided in the late 1940’s to move back to his native New Orleans to write novels. At that point, he largely dropped off the radar of the East Coast intelligentsia.
Historians of the civil rights movement, however, did not lose sight of his crusading work in TNR, The Nation, Harpers, and other publications. John Egerton cited Sancton’s contributions prominently in his 1994 book Speak Now Against the Day. The New American Library anthology, Reporting Civil Rights, excerpted passages from his TNR articles. In 2007, Lawrence P. Jackson of Emory University devoted the bulk of a long article to Sancton’s work in the The Southern Literary Journal, which he expanded and included in his 2011 book, The Indignant Generation. In Jackson’s view, “Sancton had no peer” among liberal writers and thinkers as a champion of racial equality. Earlier this year, TNR itself paid him a recent, if belated, tribute (TNR 9/15/2014) as a “pioneering civil rights reporter” and reprinted part of his 1943 article on the Detroit race riots.
For anyone who is interested in researching Sancton's TNR articles, here is a link to nearly two dozen of them online. More information on his writing and career is available in the Wikipedia article on Thomas Sancton and in the obituaries following his death in April, 2012, at the age of 97: Rosenwald Foundation obituary and Times-Picayune
And anyone seriously interested in researching the career of this early civil rights champion will find his voluminous papers and correspondence at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Rising from the ashes
From yesterday....I guess this is the beginning of the new Freedom Tower. It's nice to see something being built there. Apparently they have the footprint of the two towers encased in cement for the planned pools but I had no vantage point to see.

Just a week to go now. On Monday 5th December an exhibition of my art photographs will go on display at The Forum in Barrow-in-Furness and will be open to the public throughout December and January.
I am currently in the process of making my final selection of images, which is not easy! There should be around 30 photographs, plus a TV screen showing a number of aerial videos.
It has been a busy year and I have enjoyed the challenge of producing aerial photography and video for a wide variety of clients for different purposes, but as we now move into the quieter winter period I am enjoying focusing for a time on the artwork I have produced for myself.
More updates to follow during the coming week!

After coming back from near-bankruptcy in the 90s, Marvel Studios has arguably made the biggest comeback ever in the 21st century, specifically as the Marvel Cinematic Universe has exploded since 2008, turning many of the Avengers into iconic household names. Moving into 2022, the comic book company has yet another massive year ahead with various comics, movies, Disney+ series, and next-gen video games preparing to hit the market.
Having released five big-screen blockbusters, five streaming series, and two games in 2021, the studio will look to up the ante in 2022 with four movies, two seasonal specials, up to five more Disney+ shows, a major video game release, and more updates to existing titles.
So what does Marvel have in store for moviegoers, TV-watchers, and gamers alike in 2022? The News Fetcher breaks down every Marvel Gaming Experiences that fans can expect to see in the coming year.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns – Q3/4 2022
Releasing in the back half of 2022, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be a tactical RPG from XCOM developer Firaxis Games.
Players will be able to create their own Marvel hero to team up with the Avengers, X-Men, and more to take on the supernatural villain Lilith while unlocking new abilities and exploring the darker side of the comic book world.
Typically, superhero games take the third-person action-adventure root; however, this will be the first Marvel game to rely heavily upon tactics and strategy.
Continued Additions to Marvel’s Avengers
After releasing with great controversy in 2020, Square Enix’s co-op Marvel’s Avengers title continued to release new content regularly into 2021 as Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Spider-Man joined the heroic line-up.
Moving into the new year, Crystal Dynamics will still be updating the title across all platforms with more heroes, regions, missions, cosmetics, and plenty more.
According to some recent rumors, She-Hulk – played by Krizia Bajos – will be the latest hero to join the game at some point in 2022.
What Does the Future Hold for Marvel?
Marvel is set to have another massive year in 2022, but there’s still plenty more to come going into 2023 and beyond. Between more sequels, spin-offs, and new characters on their way, the MCU still has plenty of tricks up its sleeves with both the X-Men and Fantastic Four in the not-too-distant future.
On the video game side of things, Insomniac Games is currently developing both Spider-Man 2 – starring Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Venom – and a Wolverine title. Beyond that, Marvel has plenty more to come including a new blockbuster game from Skydance Games and rumors circulating of a multiplayer title on the way.
Whether you’re looking to read a comic book, head to the theater for a big-screen blockbuster, chill on the couch for a new Disney+ episode, or spend hours grinding the latest games, Marvel has got fans covered across the board in 2022.


8 February 2008
Hamilton City Councillors meet next week to consider the Proposed Annual Plan for the 2008/09 financial year with the likelihood that the average rate rise will be below what was forecast in the long-term plan.
Councillors will be meeting to go through the budget on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The budget papers currently show an average rates increase to existing ratepayers for the coming year of 4.95 per cent which is lower than the 6.56 per cent increase shown in the 10 year Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP).
The 4.95 per cent rise is made up of a general rate rise of 3.39 per cent and transportation Access Hamilton rate of 1.56 per cent.
Hamilton mayor, Bob Simcock, says the current Access Hamilton reserves are sufficient to move ahead with the immediate requirements for roading and other transportation infrastructure, which means the targeted Access Hamilton rate has been reduced from the level forecast. Mr Simcock says it has become clear in the past 12 months that Council's programme in the area of roading infrastructure in particular was too ambitious and it is now proposed to reduce it to a more achievable level. As a consequence the level of funding required has been reduced.
Development and Financial Contributions, the levies paid by property developers to cover their share of the cost of new city infrastructure, will also reduce. A typical DCL levy for a residential section in a new subdivision will reduce from $26,000 to $25,000.
While savings have been made due to a rephrasing of infrastructure, mostly in the Rotokauri and Rototuna areas, general costs of a growing city including the resources required by the Council organisation and increases in the upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant are all being met by the increase in the general rate rise.
Mr Simcock says while Council has still to consider what the proposed rate rise will be, he says it is encouraging to see that the proposed general rate rise is very close to the level of inflation.
"This Council continually tries to find the best balance between affordability and the aspirations of a growing city."

taxiwala full movie download leaked online on tamilrockers!
The full movie of Taxiwala (Taxiwaala) starring Vijay Devarakonda has been leaked on the torrent sites on its opening day and its free download is likely to affect its collection at the box office.
Piracy has become undoubtedly a big threat for Indian cinema with some movies leaked days before its release in the theatres. This alleged activities online have caused huge losses to filmmakers and they are continued even after taking several precautionary measures. Now, Taxiwala has become the second victim from Tollywood for such an act after Attarintiki Daredi as it was released months before its theatrical release.
Taxiwala full movie download:
Taxiwala was a long-awaited movie and its production reportedly completed even before the release of Geetha Govindam. Its full copy, which was yet to undergo the process of post-production, was leaked on the internet by some miscreants in August and this pirated copy was made available for download on some torrents site. A site offered six different prints of it with a note, “Very sorry to entire young team.”
The team of Taxiwala were shocked by this development. Its director, producers and other team members went on request their fans on social media to say no to piracy and watch the film in the theatres. Going a step ahead, Vijay Devarakonda went to make a short film to convey that the pirated copy was not fit for watching, as it was yet to undergo re-recording, VFX and the processes.

In addition, many celebs from the Telugu film industry came forward to support the team of Taxiwala. They informed their followers on social media that it is young talents team and they have put in a lot of work. Their efforts should be appreciated and encouraged by watching the film in the theatres. They requested to avoid watch its pirated copy. Their support was also of a great help for the team.
The makers released Taxiwala on November 17 to avoid its clash with Ravi Teja’s Amar Akbar Anthony, which hit the screens on November 16. But some miscreant allegedly recorded the full movie during its screening a cinema hall and released it on torrents on the first day. A website run by notorious gang offers six different prints of the movie for free download.

Probe into alleged BuCor corruption a ‘bottomless pit,’ says Lacson
MANILA, Philippines — With the uncovering of alleged corrupt practices within the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), Senator Panfilo Lacson believes Senate is investigating a “bottomless pit” of corruption.
“Inamin na rin naman ng mga ibang BuCor officials na ganoon ang kalakaran. So bottomless pit nga itong investigation kaya rin hindi matapos-tapos dahil nanganganak ng mga issue, nanganganak ng kontrobersya, nanganganak ng korapsyon,” Lacson said in an interview with GMA’s Unang Hirit on Friday.
The Senate justice committee is currently probing the alleged irregularities in the BuCor.
Starting the probe was the aborted release of rape and murder convict former Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez through the good conduct time allowance (GCTA) law.
This then led to claims that good conduct credits were being sold to inmates inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), which is under the BuCor’s supervision.
The “hospital-pass-for-sale” racket also surfaced in the wake of the hearings wherein some inmates allegedly avail of the passes for a fee to be able to continue with their illegal activities while confined at the prison hospital.
Witnesses have already testified and attested to the alleged schemes.
Several alleged money-making operations were also exposed by a former BuCor official during another hearing Thursday.
3 cited in contempt
Three BuCor officials have also been cited in contempt and were ordered confined at the Senate for allegedly evading questions from senators.
Cited for contempt were BuCor legal chief Frederic Anthony Santos, BuCor records division head Ramoncito Roque, and Ursicio Cenas, medical officer at the NBP hospital.
“May pagdinig sa September 19, pwede doon i-decide kung pwede na sila palabasin o hindi. Depende kung ano magiging demeanor or attitude nila sa susunod na pagdinig,” Lacson went on. /muf

MT DEQ Fails to Apply Still Binding Numeric Nutrient Water Quality Standards
Recent reporting from the Daily Montanan exposed Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) attempt to move forward with wastewater treatment facility permit renewals for the cities of Helena, Manhattan, and Cut Bank. The renewals failed to implement Montana’s still binding numeric nutrient criteria, contrary to federal clean water law and DEQ’s memorandum of understanding with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). After Upper Missouri Waterkeeper notified the EPA of permit failures to implement numeric nutrient criteria and requested a veto, the agency took the extraordinary step of staying DEQ’s decisionmaking on while it reviewed the permits, resulting in DEQ ultimately pulling the permits in question.
Meanwhile, DEQ continues to plow forward with rulemaking under Senate Bill 358, which attempts to rollback numeric nutrient water quality protections across the state, falsely portraying narrative nutrient standards as the “law of the land” to the public.
“Despite instruction from the EPA to apply numeric nutrient criteria in its Clean Water Act decisions, Montana DEQ attempted to issue pollution permit renewals that clearly failed to apply mandatory numeric criteria, and has openly stated its intent to apply state law despite its conflict with federal pollution control law,” said Guy Alsentzer, Executive Director of Upper Missouri Waterkeeper. “It’s disheartening that Montana has gotten to a place where our natural resource agencies are failing to apply the law and adequately protect our waterways, communities, and clean water.”
Since the adoption of Senate Bill 358 into law on April 30, 2021, DEQ has been treating SB 358 as “law of the land,” despite blatant illegalities. The statute itself has an immediate effective date, however, any revision to state water quality standards is not effective as a matter of law unless and until EPA approves the revision, which in this case, has yet to occur. SB 358’s immediate effective date, the inadequate nature of narrative nutrient standards, and DEQ’s refusal to implement numeric nutrient criteria, are among the reasons Upper Missouri Waterkeeper submitted a legal petition to EPA in requesting the agency disapprove water quality standards proposed in SB 358 for violating the federal Clean Water Act.
Over a month ago, EPA sent DEQ an email stating that numeric nutrient criteria must be applied when issuing pollution permit renewals. Ignoring this directive, DEQ put forth pollution permit proposals that violate federal law by failing to explicitly apply numeric nutrient criteria and applying un-approved, ineffective narrative standards that threaten Montana’s world-class water resources.
Two weeks ago EPA reiterated the legally binding status of numeric nutrient criteria at a state Nutrient Workgroup Meeting, stating publicly that SB 358 is non-binding unless and until EPA approval. The Water Quality Division Administrator for DEQ responded that the department considers SB 358 effective law. DEQ is likewise communicating with its staff and programs the story that numeric nutrient criteria are no longer applicable, despite the fact that they are still legally binding.
“DEQ’s actions raise serious questions surrounding the department’s leadership, understanding, and willingness to follow the law, much less a commitment to protecting Montana’s clean water,” continued Upper Missouri Waterkeepers’ Alsentzer.
The conflict between DEQ’s approach to pollution permitting, pollution assessments, and the legal issues with SB 358 was heightened when Upper Missouri Waterkeeper submitted technical comments to DEQ opposing the issuance of the City of Helena’s wastewater treatment facility permit renewal, and asked EPA to veto any Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit that failed to incorporate numeric nutrient criteria. EPA answered Waterkeeper’s call and stayed DEQ’s final decision making on every MPDES permit. In response, and only after EPA exercised their authority to stay DEQ action finalizing permits pending their review, DEQ voluntarily pulled the offending pollution permits and confirmed they will not be finalized as proposed.
Upper Missouri Waterkeeper created frequently asked questions and answers on SB 358 and the rollback of water quality protections. The group continues to track and oppose illegal pollution permits and those that would do harm to our waterways, and ensure DEQ and EPA follow the federal Clean Water Act, implement science-based pollution control standards, and protect the health of Montana’s waterways.

CHRISTMAS shoppers were out in force in Coventry city centre to grab a bargain as stores slashed prices by up to a half over the weekend.
Big discounts were being offered in efforts to tempt shoppers into stores including Debenhams, Topshop, BHS and Marks & Spencer.
It comes after shops suffered a sharp drop in sales which have slumped across the country.
The bargains, which are normally put on hold for the January sales, were available in most stores across the city in the week before Christmas.
One couple who made the most of the discounts was Nick, 51, and Carol Miles, 47, of Hartshill, Nuneaton, who bought presents for their family.
Nick, an IT worker, said: “We’ve been buying Christmas presents for each other and some decorations. I bought my wife a jacket – we only buy certain items online.
“For instance it’s better to go directly to the shops and try on the jacket – you can’t do that online but it is good when shopping for electrical goods because it’s cheaper.
“We do like to out to the shops and of course getting a bargain helps. We don’t really come out during the Boxing Day and January sales because it’s too busy.
“It’s been very busy with the early sales but doesn’t feel too rushed.”
Among the shoppers was couple Elizabeth Hearn, 53, and her husband Cyril, 54, of Earlsdon, who bought presents for their family.
She said: “We’ve come out for specific items, so we haven’t actually bought anything from the sales so for us there has been no difference in the prices.
“We do prefer to come out and buy presents at the shops – we’d like to see more independent book and record shops in the city. We don’t really like the sales with all the rush – we don’t like the crowds.”
Cyril said: “Some of the goods that are on sale aren’t really the best of quality. We would prefer to buy things we actually want than things at a cheaper price that we don’t really need.”
Mum Linda Adderley, aged 62, and her daughter Sue Dowds, aged 42, donned little Christmas hats and festive earrings as they bought special gifts for their loved ones.
Sue, who has three boys aged, four, 12 and 16, of Wyken, said: “We’ve bought clothes as gifts more than anything else.
“We try very hard not to let anything come in the way of spending at Christmas and we’ve achieved that this year. We’ve been wishing people a Merry Christmas and it’s made people smile.
“There has been too much misery this year. We need more Christmas cheer.”

Can y’all possibly comprehend the flawlessness of this woman in the pic? The fact that she’s 47 years old says it all. FORTY SEVEN YEARS OLD. That’s right lessers.
YOUR FAVES NEED TO SIT THEIR SAGGY ARSES DOWN.
Velvet voiced Canadian Jazz chanteuse extraordinaire Mizz Diana Krall will be releasing her 10th studio album ‘Glad Rag Doll‘ on September 25th. And I, for starters, am hyper-ventilating. A crucial observation? Krall ages backwards y’all.
The two-time Grammy winning songstress and pianist goes back to the 1920’s and 30’s on the T Bone Burnett-produced ‘Glad Rag Doll‘, her first release since 2009’s Bossa Nova influenced Billboard # 3 peaking ‘Quiet Nights”. The album, which I feel is a significant departure from Krall’s signature style, boasts of timeless classics like Gene Austin’s ‘Let It Rain‘, ‘Lonely Avenue‘ by Doc Pomus, Billy Hill’s ‘Prairie Lullaby‘ and Fred Fisher’s ‘There Ain’t No Sweet Man Worth The Salt Of My Tears‘. Check out the lyric video for Krall’s whimsically lush take on Buddy Miller’s ‘Wide River To Cross‘ right here :
Here’s the track-list of ‘Glad Rag Doll‘ :
1. We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye (Woods)
2. There Ain’t No Sweet Man That’s Worth the Salt of My Tears (Fisher)
3. Just Like a Butterfly That’s Caught in the Rain (Dixon/Woods)
4. You Know I Know Ev’rything’s Made for Love (Sherman/Tobias/Johnson)
5. Glad Rag Doll (Ager/Dougherty/Yellen)
6. I’m A Little Mixed Up (James/Johnson)
7. Prairie Lullaby (Hill)
8. Here Lies Love (Rainger/Robin)
9. I Used to Love You But It’s All Over Now (von Tilzer/Brown)
10. Let it Rain (Kendis/Dyson)
11. Lonely Avenue (Pomus)
12. Wide River to Cross (Miller/Miller)
13. When the Curtain Comes Down (Hoefle/Lewis/Sherman)
Personally, I’d prefer Krall re-creating another ‘The Girl In The Other Room‘ (2004) or ‘The Look Of Love‘ (2001) – undoubtedly two of the best records from her extensive discography, dating back to her 1993 début ‘Stepping Out‘. But then again, there’s literally nothing out there that Diana Krall’s signature Contralto cannot do justice to – and ‘Glad Rag Doll‘, irrespective of being a collection of songs that might come across as a tad obscure, should shine through.

VANCOUVER -- If the Canadian Open was lacking big names before, then it's hurting badly now as its biggest star just walked off into the sunset.
Or rather, to the airport for an early flight home.
With Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Retief Goosen opting to stay home this week, Canadian Mike Weir was expected to draw the crowds for the country's national championship.
And he did ... for 48 hours.
The Bright's Grove, Ont., native was booted off the Shaughnessy Golf and Country club yesterday after he finished 6-over to miss the cut by two shots.
"I didn't hit enough fairways, that was the bottom line all week really," said Weir, who carded a 5-over 75 yesterday. "I made enough birdies that I could've gotten something going but when I missed the fairways, it seemed like I only made big numbers or bogey. It's difficult to come back when you can't hit fairways on this course."
For the second day in row, Mark Calcavecchia made the Vancouver venue look easy as he added a 3-under 67 to his first-round 65 to remain five strokes up on runner-up Lucas Glover.
Five others are tied at 2-under. Defending champion Vijay Singh is at 1-under.
For Calcavecchia, following the lights down the runway has been the key.
"I think I've gotten some good breaks for sure," he said. "I haven't hit it in the heavy rough too often.
"I just had a couple of times where I've been in the bad rough and luckily the holes I did hit it in the rough on have been a couple of par 5s and a couple of short par 4s. So I was able to get it to the green where it wasn't a chip-out situation."
Calgarian Stephen Ames was the only Canadian to make the cut yesterday, as 15 others fell to 5-over or worse. Going bogey-bogey on his last two holes wasn't the finish Ames wanted but he managed to remain at even for the day and 3-over for the tournament.
"Today I played very well," said Ames. "I had a lot of opportunities, a couple of up downs that were good but other than that I hit the ball really well. Overall, even-par on this golf course is a good round, so I'm happy with that."
Weir, in jeopardy of missing his eighth cut of the season -- the most in his professional career -- tried to battle back but the five bogeys and the double on No. 11 were too much to recover from.
"I felt like it would be difficult to come back but that's not the spot you want to be playing from," said Weir, who only hit 17 of 28 fairways in two rounds. "I was hitting the ball solid, just off the tee I miscued a few times and it cost me."
The glaring statistic for Weir: He has only been under par once in his last 26 rounds.
Singh joined Ben Crane, Jerry Kelly and Justin Rose with the low rounds of the day at 4-under 66.
The No. 2 money leader this year was 3-over starting the day but managed to move up into a tie for eighth.
"The key was hitting the fairways," said the Fiji native. "When you hit more fairways, you've got chances for birdies when you hit the greens. You can't make birdies from the rough here."
Jesper Parnevik managed to keep his name on the leaderboard as he finished 2-over, which puts him tied for second.

Side weirs have been used extensively for water-level control in irrigation and drainage canal systems, as a means of diverting excess water into relief channels for flood protection works, and as storm overflows from urban sewage systems. In this study, flow over side weir in triangular channel is reported. Theoretical model is obtained from energy principles and is solved by a finite difference method. The results are presented in diagrammatic form for practical use. The study covers both sub- and supercritical flow regimes. Derived expressions for the water surface profiles for these regimes are compared with 'experimental results.

Arrived on the summit, Overkirk made his men bring up their left shoulders, so as to wheel inwards, and form a vast semicircle round the right wing of the French, which, far advanced beyond the centre, was now thrown back, and grouped into the little plain of Diepenbeck.
Despite all these obstacles, hovever, the English general fairly drove them back, at the musket's point, fron one enclosure to another, till he reached the hamlet of Diepenbeck, where the resistance proved so violent that he was compelled to pause. His vigilant eye, however, erelong observed, that the hill of Oycke, which flanked the enemy's extreme right, was unoccupied.
The borders of these rivulets are crossed by frequent enclosures, surrounding the farm-yards of Barwaen, Chobon, and Diepenbeck. Near the source of one of these streams is a castellated mansion; at that of the other is the hamlet of Rhetelhouk, embosomed in a wooded nook.
But the thick and frequent enclosures broke their array; the soldiers were dismayed by the loud shouts of victory from their right; and when they emerged from the enclosures; and approached the plain of Diepenbeck, the firm countenance of the British horse, drawn up on its edge, and the sturdy array of their infantry under Eugene, which advanced to meet them, rendered the effort abortive.
Marlborough himself, at the head of the Prussian horse, advanced by Heurne, and took post on the flank of the little plain of Diepenbeck, where it was evident the heat of the action would ensue. A reserve of twenty British battalions, with a few guns, took post near Schaerken, and proved of the most essential service in the struggle which ensued.
Refluent from all quarters, enveloped on every side, the whole French right was hurled together, in wild confusion, into the plain of Diepenbeck; where seven regiments of horse, which made a noble effort to stem the flood of disaster, was all cut to pieces or taken. Seeing his right wing on the verge of destruction, Vendôme made a gallant effort to rescue it.

Get A Comfortable Scrub Which Will Make The Workplace A Great Day To Work? Get Started Here!
In the 1970s, the plain green scrub suit became fashionable. The costume was determined to be both comfortable and functional by medical workers. The cost-effectiveness of the scrubs, as well as their ease of upkeep, thrilled hospital managers. Over time the need for comfortable, cheap, plus-sized, and medically sterile scrubs filled the demand.
Doctors and nurses in medical facilities wear comfortable scrubs. Many hospitals now employ a variety of colors to distinguish departments, but surgical comfortable scrubs are still largely green. Pediatricians frequently wear cartoon-themed, comfortable breathable scrubs to put their young patients and their parents at ease. Scrubs are also worn by many medical office workers.
Looking For The Right Scrub.
Believe in maintaining safety, which is why we've created a space where Fashion, Comfort, Style, and Safety all come together to provide the finest scrub possible.
It's natural for a nurse to feel like she's gambling with her time when shopping for new plus size women's scrubs. Many companies' products appear to be designed by folks who have never used their own items. Scrubs should be comfy enough to wear to work. As a result, it's both functional and appropriate. A most comfortable Scrub for Medical Use is a protective garment designed to be worn by doctors, nurses, and others in the operating room.
Polyester is frequently combined with cotton spandex to make scrubs that are both comfortable and durable. The spandex blend provides additional stretch to meet all requirements. Breathability, easy-care, durability, and anti-static qualities of utilizing 100 percent cotton fabric. They are soft, and they do not stretch or resist wrinkles.
As with any clothing item, taking correct body measurements and then selecting a pattern is a possible alternative. Scrubs come in a wide variety of patterns. Antimicrobial ingredients are used in some scrubs. A set of comfortable scrubs consisting of nylon and silver ion is one version.
The silver ion is a chemical component that breaks down the bacteria's cell walls. The plus size women's and men's scrubs are more elaborate in stitches among the makers of comfortable scrubs. Once you've chosen a pattern, making scrubs is simple. Scrubs are similar to any other clothing item you may create at home, therefore selecting a pattern will be the most challenging part of the procedure.
To get the finest option, match the fabrics to the working conditions. Get the maximum longevity out of scrubs by using the over-stitching approach. To be sure, try them on. Scrubs that have the proper fit and level of comfort are the best.
Due to the limited number of colors and designs available, color will play a crucial role. White cloths should also be avoided. The white substance appears to generate a green ghosting effect. Fabrics that are green or blue are resistant to this occurrence.
Scrubs are made in the same way as any other piece of apparel. Sewing entities include a pattern, proper measurements, and the appropriate materials. The purpose of the scrubs will help to choose the right fabric.
Importance Of The Fitting And Comfortable Scrubs.
Scrubs' fit can affect not just the capacity to perform particular professional activities, but also the patient's perception of the hospital's abilities. Professional dress is associated with honesty, knowledge, and superior treatment, according to the respondents. Best Scrubs should be well-fitting, comfortable, and appropriate for the work environment. To be the best and most comfortable Scrubs attire is the motive. Scrubs that are baggy and wrinkled send the incorrect message to potential customers.
Apart from professional appearance, comfort is a major factor in the increased need for correctly fitted scrubs. Studies demonstrate that being excessively hot or chilly at work might cause a drop in productivity if the time spent is the full twelve-hour shift feeling uncomfortable. Scrubs that are too tight might restrict movement and make it difficult to adequately care for patients, lowering the quality of their work.
The uncomfortable and too loosely fitted Scrubs can be inconvenient and impair work performance. When they're caring for a patient in a hospital, there aren't many occasions to stop and hike up the hem of their scrub pants.
Scrubs are available in a wide range of styles presently. The color possibilities are unlimited, and the styles have luckily become more and more varied. Doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers, and anyone else who has to wear scrubs for a job can now be comfortable while still looking professional.
The scrubs that aren't easily snagged are ideal. No matter what your body type is, having a broad range of motion is essential. A long-lasting, comfortable pair of scrubs must also be durable. Scrubs will be rinsed frequently, so the material should be durable.
How Should Scrubs for Women Fit?
Scrubs for women should fit their body shape. There's no reason why a woman wearing scrubs can't seem professional and confident. Scrubs are available for all body types.
Scrubs for Plus-Sized People:
The scrubs should not snag when moved regardless of the body type, which means having a complete range of motion is essential. The need for space to maneuver tasks is essentially undertaken with care. Scrub tops with side slits provide a little additional range of motion while being comfortable.

The abandonment of traditional farmland practices in the mountain areas of the Mediterranean Basin is producing a general vegetation encroachment and a decrease on open habitats. The protected mountain areas of the LTER (Long Term Ecological Research) network are privileged zones to study in detail this process by means of long-term monitoring projects. In the particular case of the nodule LTER Montseny the impact of afforestation on birds is been monitorised during more than a decade in the framework of the Catalan Common Bird Survey. This scheme has allowed developing indicators that determine the shifts in bird communities associated to the open and forest habitats of this natural park. In this work we used multispecies indicators based on the geometric means of yearly population indices to determine the change that, as a whole, the birds are undergoing in these environments. Results show that the impact of vegetation encroachment is noticeable in the populations of open-space species (44% population decrease between 2002 and 2014). Following these results, park managers, together with local socioeconomic stakeholders, are promoting practices to recover and improve open pastures. © 2016 Los Autores.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the hypothesis that the constraints on the expansion of the range of the common genet (Genetta genetta) in Europe are limitations derived from the species' patterns of habitat selection. From a sample of 2073 genet occurrence data and using species distribution models (SDM) built with Maxent, our results show that temperature-related variables were the main factor explaining the current distribution of the species. The maximum winter temperature was by far the most important environmental constraint of the presence of the species, with genets showing a preference for higher temperatures in the two coldest seasons of the year. Genets appeared also associated to Mediterranean zones, preferred mid-elevations and were more often present in habitats dominated by sclerophyllous vegetation. Our results stongly support the view that the influence of temperature is a major limiting factor that impedes the spread of the genet northwards and eastwards into continental Europe and limits its distribution. Nevertheless, the current spread of its colonization fronts could lead to future changes in its distribution, so it would seem that its expansion has not yet finished. © 2016 Deutsche Gesellschaft für Säugetierkunde.

In the news today I learnt that a wanted man has just handed himself in rather than spend any more time with the people he lives with in lockdown. Sussex police revealed the man said he’d rather be in prison. Those people he lives with must be really awful if he’d prefer to hang out with psychopaths, bullies and the deeply traumatised. I suspect that after a while in jail he might regret this decision, life there being the apotheosis of repetition and restriction.
Some people are loving lockdown but most of us are having difficulties with the limitations of the current state of affairs. Not knowing when it will end makes things worse – at least in a British prison, you’d know your sentence, and might even reduce it with good behaviour. No such luck with Covid. So much possibility has been denied us, so much hope, because we don’t know exactly when our freedom will arrive. Yes, there are vaccinations happening, but it’s increasingly clear that they won’t eliminate Covid-19 completely or imminently. Our mental health thrives on having dates in the calendar that we look forward to, but diaries for last year and this show lots of scorings out of cancelled exciting activities. Not being able to travel very far from home for many months has had a sapping effect. Depression, boredom, stress, frustration and shortened tempers abound. Our worlds have shrunk and we are smaller, pettier people.
I was sitting on a bench overlooking the Thames with my walking partner, and a policeman observed that he was glad to see we were taking a short break in between exercising. He was cheerful enough but his tone belied the warning message of authority: even the time you take sitting on a public bench is limited by law – you must go back to your homes as soon as possible, the need to gaze at a large body of moving water notwithstanding. Do not misunderstand me – I am a lockdown supporter: the number of people catching and dying from Covid-19 is down due to its implementation. But I can still bridle at the downsides and its effect on my body and mind.
Our physical bodies can be cramped by living in one environment and using our spine and limbs in the same ways over and over again, sitting on the bed or the same chair every day, moving around small flats with not enough room to dance or even stretch without kicking the cat or a small child. For every one of us who has a home gym and a jogging habit, there’s another five who’ve taken to slumping glassy-eyed in front of a screen, hungrily seeking some sort of redemption in there, vertebrae crushed and temples throbbing. When we move from one place to another, our bodies use a wide range of motion and benefit in flexibility and improved organ function. Nothing resembles swimming quite like swimming but municipal pools are barred; without the stairs and escalators of normal active everyday life, our hearts quietly atrophy.
The suffering of our bodies adds to the mental load of grief. Those precious daily walks need taking as they really do improve mental well-being, connecting us to nature and letting us see the scale of the world still available to us. Taking some time to watch the clouds scudding across the vast sky expands us and lifts us. When we are continually indoors, we are missing out on fully using our senses – outdoors we can give greater exercise to sight, smell, sound, touch (there’s no legislation against hugging a tree), and even taste (that flask of coffee and a homemade flapjack can be extra delicious as the wind whips round your bobble hat). Without varying perspectives and a sense of spaciousness, bodies close up and so do minds. Even with all the tools of information available to us, I have heard many people talking about boredom or feeling stuck or not being able think. Our imaginations have become circumscribed – and imagination is so important it can keep a person in restricted circumstances alive. Terry Waite, held hostage in solitary confinement for four years, composed stories and poems in his head and emerged with his sanity intact. Our repeated recourse to TV and Netflix dramas in lockdown means we are being spoon-fed stories rather than creating them ourselves. Much though I love a filmed drama, I’m aware that in bingeing on them, my grey matter is missing opportunities to imagine my own stories, with the healthy mental challenges and problem-solving that entails. You don’t need to write stories if that’s not your bag but notice how not being able to dream or fantasise about exciting things that might come true can contribute to a gloomy, closed state of being.
Like the wanted man, we can be driven mad by being cooped up with others who would normally be out and about for most of the day. Some lucky people with ample household room and warm, easy-going personalities might be loving having their families or flat-mates so close at hand, but most people will have times they want to howl at the moon because Andy keeps sniffing or Debbie’s used the wrong saucepan three days in a row. In other lockdown lives, a solo dweller could be loving the peace and freedom of solitude or conversely feel like Rapunzel trapped in a tower with no sign whatsoever of a prince arriving to climb up her hair (though grateful for the occasional brief appearance of an Amazon delivery man).
Some antidotes to despair can be found in assessing the benefits of this strange way of life – appreciating lockdown’s effects on the greater good, enjoying the freedom you can have in your own home, having more time to play with.
And here are some specific ways you can break out of your shrunken world:
- Like William Blake, fully explore the microcosm, not the macrocosm, “See the world in a grain of sand/And heaven in a wild flower”
- Turn the radio onto a music station and let the sounds transport you to other realms
- Slather your naked self in body lotion and say hello to all the nooks and crannies of your form (or do the same for someone else).
- Take half a day to follow a recipe for an exotic dish very closely
- Watch a travel documentary instead of the news or drama
- Go out for your permitted strolls at different times of the day and night (at dawn, for once, or on a night of full moon, or twilight…)
- Paint one entire room a different colour (a proper colour, not just another shade of grey)
- Give yourself a theme for taking phone-photos e.g. Mysterious Sights, Red Things, Ghost Signs
- Become pen-pals with someone you know abroad
- Have a check-in Zoom circle with friends where each person speaks uninterrupted for 5-10 minutes and the rest just listen. Little windows into other’s worlds can be inspiring or consoling
- Make a map of an imaginary place
- Dedicate a day to smelling things and seeing what emotions or memories come up
- Rearrange the furniture
- Walk down a street you’ve never been down before
- Study one famous painting very thoroughly
- Perch in a public place and make up names and little biographies for people who pass by (dogs included)
- Buy a food item you never usually eat
- Have a walk with a bubble-friend and take it in turns to direct ‘Left’ or ‘Right’ at each junction
- Dress up in some of your neglected lovely clothes to work at home or have dinner en famille
- Aim to achieve small victories, and recap them at the end of the day
When you look back on these most unusual months, it will be these things that you remember, not the constrictions….
You have it in your power to expand your locked down world.

06 September 2013 05:42 [Source: ICIS news]
Correction: In the story headlined “Thailand’s SCG to cut PE, PP output in Nov on tight feedstock” dated 6 September 2013, please read in paragraph 8…” SCG has four high density polyethylene (HDPE) plants…” instead of… “SCG has three high density polyethylene (HDPE) plants…”. A corrected story follows.
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Siam Cement Group (SCG) plans to cut production at its polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plants at Map Ta Phut, Thailand, in November because of feedstock constraints, industry sources said on Friday.
“SCG will have to cut production rates in November because it will experience tighter feedstock supply when Map Ta Phut Olefins shut its cracker for turnaround,” said a source close to the company.
“Its ethylene feedstock supply has already been affected after PTT Global Chemical reduced cracker operating rates in August,” the source added.
SCG has been running its PE and PP plants at full capacity despite its tighter ethylene supply because it still has enough feedstock in storage, the source said.
The extent of production cuts at its PE and PP plants in November is unclear now because it would be determined by the volume of feedstock supply SCG can obtain from the spot market, according to the source.
“The producer will have to stop the PE and PP plants if it cannot find ethylene and propylene spot cargoes before its feedstock stocks run out,” he said.
The uncertainty over SCG’s PE and PP supply in November has frustrated its local distributors, said a resin distributor in Thailand.
SCG has four high density polyethylene (HDPE) plants with a combined capacity of 980,000 tonnes/year as well as three PP units with a total capacity of 720,000 tonnes/year at Map Ta Phut, the source close to the producer said.
It also operates a 100,000 tonne/year low density PE (LDPE) unit and a 120,000 tonne/year linear LDPE plant at the same site, he said.
Thailand is a net exporter of LDPE, HDPE and PP with its volumes moving mainly to China and southeast Asia, he added.
SCG was not immediately available for comment.

These scooters have captured great recognition thanks to their combination of performance, reliability, and capabilities. Let us understand more about the comparative evaluation of those scooter sensations.
The Honda Activa 125 and the Suzuki Access 125 represent the shine of innovation and engineering in the scooter segment. Providing glossy designs, effective engines, and advanced capabilities, they serve to the diverse needs of urban commuters. However, every scooter comes with its own set of powers and capabilities that attract distinct segments of clients.
Why do customers choose scooters over bikes?
Customers regularly pick scooters over motorcycles for numerous compelling reasons. Firstly, scooters are normally more manoeuvrable and less difficult to deal with, making them perfect for riding in congested streets and rough areas. Their lightweight and compact design also leads to them being extra user-friendly for riders of every age and enjoying levels.
Secondly, scooters offer advanced fuel efficiency compared to bikes, making them a powerful mode of transportation for daily commuting. With growing fuel costs, this becomes an extensive consideration for price range-aware clients.
Additionally, scooters offer more storage capability, normally providing under-seat storage booths and front garage pockets, making them sensible for carrying groceries, luggage, and different necessities.
Furthermore, scooters are regularly perceived as more elegant and latest, appealing to a more youthful demographic seeking out a fashionable mode of transportation. Lastly, scooters are recognised for their ease of protection and lower renovation costs compared to motorcycles, which may be an attractive point for the ones looking for hassle-free rides.
In essence, the flexibility, affordability, practicality, and style related to scooters cause them to have a desired need for many customers over bikes.
Design and Build:
Starting with the design, each of the Activa 125 and the Access 125 exhibit cutting-edge styling with aerodynamic design. The Activa 125 reveals a cultured and elegant design look, featuring sharp strains and chrome accents that lend it a top-class look. On the other hand, the Access 125 has a sporty and modern stance, characterised by the help of its edgy model look and distinctive front view.
In terms of construction, both scooters have robust creation, making sure of durability and sturdiness. However, the Activa 125 edges slightly ahead with its attention to elements and top-class finishing touches.
Performance and Engine:
Under the hood, each scooter is powered by green engines that deliver amazing performance. The Activa 125 is ready with a 125cc, single-cylinder engine that provides power and torque, presenting clean acceleration and convenient riding on town streets.
Similarly, the Access 125 has a 125cc, air-cooled engine renowned for its refined performance and awesome fuel efficiency. With its amazing torque and responsive throttle, the Access 125 excels in urban driving conditions, making it a desired preference for everyday commuters.
Features and Technology:
When it comes to features and technology, each scooter comes ready with a number of features to beautify the driving experience. The Activa 125 has functions like LED headlamps, a digital analogue meter with an eco-speed indicator, and a non-obligatory smartphone connectivity device. These capabilities no longer only add convenience but also elevate the overall enchantment of the scooter.
On the other hand, the Access 125 offers features consisting of a long seat, huge under-seat storage, and a multifunctional device cluster with a digital display. Additionally, Suzuki’s patented SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) technology ensures top-quality fuel efficiency without compromising on overall performance.
Ride and Handling:
In terms of journey and management, both scooters provide a snug and agile driving experience. The Activa 125 comes with telescopic front suspension and a spring-loaded hydraulic rear suspension, offering an easy and solid trip even on rough roads. The ergonomically designed seat offers enough cushioning and support, making sure it is fatigue-free when driving over long distances.
Similarly, the Access 125 features telescopic front forks and a rear swing suspension setup, providing a smooth journey. The nicely comfortable seat and spacious footrests offer adequate comfort for both rider and back seater, improving comfort throughout long rides.
Safety and Security:
Safety is first, and both the Activa 125 and the Access 125 prioritise rider safety with advanced safety features. The Activa 125 comes equipped with a Combined Brake System (CBS) in conjunction with a front disc brake option, making sure reliable braking overall performance in all situations.
Likewise, the Access 125 gives a Combined Brake System (CBS), as general across all variants, at the side of the front disc brake alternative for greater preventing strength. Additionally, functions like tubeless tyres and a steady locking mechanism further enhance safety and protection.
Price and Affordability:
Finally, pricing plays an important role in the choice, and each scooter offers competitive pricing within its respective segments. While the Activa 125 has a moderate edge in terms of top-rate capabilities and logo reputation, the Access 125 provides brilliant costs to cash with its competitive pricing and maintenance charges.
In the end, the Honda Activa 125 and the Suzuki Access 125 end up as bold scooters within the vehicle phase, each serving a unique blend of fashion, overall performance, and features. While the Activa 125 excels in premium styling and advanced technology, the Access 125 shines with its sporty design and fuel-green overall performance.


Kazier Chiefs Jomo Cosmos PSL Absa Premiership report
Posted: 15 March 2016 Time: 18:51
Jomo Cosmos stunned Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 with a contender for goal of the season from their only shot on target in their Absa Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Tuesday night.
Chiefs started the brighter team, attacking with verve and intent for the first 20 minutes before fading later in the half as Cosmos put men behind the ball and offered nothing going foward.
William Twala was the liveliest player for Amakhosi, causing probems for Cosmos down the right and left flanks, although he also missed the best chance to score four minutes in when he volleyed over from close range at the far post.
Camaldine Abraw also showed glimpses of promise but ultimately Cosmos goalkeeper Modiba had a fairly routine 45 minutes as Chiefs failed to truly stretch the Ezenkosi wall and make him work.
The second half was as uneventful as the first even after the introduction of Hendrick Ekstein and George Maluleka for Chiefs, with Camaldine Abraw and Lucky Baloyi making way.
Amakhosi had a shout for handball in the area waved away in the 82nd minute as Wiseman Maluleke stole the ball off Twala in the area, no penalty, and replays were inconslusive.
And then disaster struck for Chiefs; jubilation for Cosmos, as with their first shot on target Mxolisi Macuphu fired a thunderbolt of a shot on his left foot off the very tip of Itumeleng Khune's glove and into the top-right corner.
The result is a massive three points for Ezenkosi, who have given their survival hopes a huge boost with the most unlikely result and moved out of the relegation zone. For Chiefs, it is their fourth defeat in a row – equalling their own worst record.

The capacitance module (WHST-A) can be run to get the water-hydrocarbon ratio in a continuous basis, so you can determine the “water hold-up” at every depth. This tool can be run alone or in combination with other modules like the PSST-A (pressure, fast response temperature and CCL) to obtain quantitative measurements of a three phase well then being able to evaluate the production profile while the tool is moving throughout the perforated zones. Alternative uses for this tool could be, leak localization, level and/or fluid identification in shut or abandoned wells among others..

In reading through the Fitchburg Star, received yesterday, as usual I learned of many things going on in and around Fitchburg. I always look forward to learning more about what’s happening in my hometown.
That said, I also became aware that The Star has a tremendously important role to play in voter education. The stark reality is that many residents, even well read and informed residents, might not have the basic information they need when it comes to casting their ballot. And, like it or not, many may choose not to vote at all if they don’t know where to vote. Some even believe that their vote “doesn’t matter.”
This is where The Star can be a star. For the next two months why not feature lots of stories about how to look up voter information, where the polling locations are by area, where City Hall is if I want to vote early, what information one needs to provide, hours of polling locations, etc.
You get the idea. You have a wonderful opportunity to be a leader in voter education and engagement.
I look forward to seeing what important information The Star can offer us voters!

As we near the end of Energy Action month in October, we want to recognize the importance of energy to our nation’s economy, national security and environmental well-being. National Mining Association member companies are on the forefront of energy innovation. Without their mining initiatives and projects, many of the technologies that we depend on today would not exist.
While most people recognize that minerals and metals are used in the construction of roads and buildings, many are unaware that minerals are critical components in the manufacturing of new energy technologies, like solar and wind, as well as in hybrid car technologies. As these energy sources and related technologies continue to play an important role in our energy mix, the demand for the minerals they are made from will also rise. From copper and nickel used in solar cells and wind turbines to cobalt and lithium used in hybrid vehicles, minerals are nothing short of essential to America’s energy mix.
In order for America to secure an “all of the above” energy policy, we must invest in mining to establish reliable domestic supplies of the minerals that drive diversification in the energy sector. However, a new streamlined permitting policy is needed. Currently, the mining permitting process can take up to 10 years in the United States. An updated and timely U.S. minerals mining policy would establish a stable supply of domestically mined minerals that would grow our economy and safeguard national security, all while upholding rigorous environmental standards.
Do you agree? Take action for a more thoughtful way forward here.

Post-apocalyptic drama THE ROVER starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson gets a distributor!
Howdy do, everyone, Papa Vinyard here.
A24 put out news today that they are acquiring the latest from ANIMAL KINGDOM director David Michod, entitled THE ROVER, for U.S. theatrical distribution. The Australian production was, interestingly enough, conceived by Michod and actor Joel Edgerton, who doesn't seem to actually have a role in the finished film. I guess they became tight while shooting Edgarton's smallish role in KINGDOM. The film is a post-apocalyptic drama starring Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, and Scoot McNairy, and it sounds a little bit like a buddy-movie version of MAD MAX.
Via the press release: THE ROVER is set in a world ten years following the collapse of the western economic system, where Australia’s mineral resources have drawn the desperados and dangerous to its shores. With society in decline, the rule of law has disintegrated and life is cheap. The film follows hardened loner Eric (Pearce), who travels the desolate towns and roads of the Australian outback. When a gang of thieves steals his car they leave behind the wounded Rey (Pattinson) in their wake. Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that matters to him.
Pearce has done the post-apocalyptic thing (briefly in THE ROAD), the Australian outback bit (the amazing THE PROPOSITION), and the Mad Max-like anti-hero (LOCKOUT) before, as well as working with Michod on ANIMAL KINGDOM. I have no doubt he has the chops to hold this one down. McNairy is a badass, eclectic actor who rocked two excellent performances last year in ARGO and KILLING THEM SOFTLY after breaking out in Gareth Edwards' MONSTERS. As for Pattinson, well, I think he has potential, but his milquetoast leads in TWILIGHT and COSMOPOLIS have done little to demonstrate said potential. Working this closely with the consistently-terrific Pearce will either bring out the better actor in him, or will make him seem even more like a mere pretty face than he already does.
I adored ANIMAL KINGDOM, from top-to-bottom, stern-to-stem (if you haven't seen it, be sure to check it out), and this cast and premise have a shit-ton of potential. I'm hoping Michod has the ability to make this more like THE PROPOSITION and less like BOOK OF ELI, or worse, LOCKOUT. From the pic above, at least, it certainly seems gritty. Good sign.

Phillips has made relentless progress with both club and country over the last few years and is now an England international who has already amassed 19 caps.
The Yorkshire Pirlo started every game as England reached the final of last summer's European Championships and the midfielder's rapid rise up the ranks has naturally led to admiring glances from other clubs.
Liverpool and Manchester United have continually been linked with a swoop for the Three Lions star but Phillips revealed in a recent interview with Mail Sport that he was seeking a new contract with Leeds, adding that he was very happy at the club and in regular talks with owner Andrea Radrizzani.
The revelations provided fans with a perfect Christmas boost and now Phillips has been captured re-acting a famous scene from the Wolf of Wall Street movie which supporters are taking as a good sign.
In a family Christmas get together, Phillips takes to a microphone to produce an impression of Leonardo DiCaprio's famous "I'm not leaving" quote as stock-broker Jordan Belfort in the Wolf of Wall Street movie.
The clip quickly gained thousands of views and likes, acting as a welcome tonic for fans in the club's second season back in the big time.
A message from the Editor:
Leeds has a fantastic story to tell - and the Yorkshire Evening Post has been rooted firmly at the heart of telling the stories of our city since 1890.
We believe in ourselves and hope you believe in us too. We need your support to help ensure we can continue to be at the heart of life in Leeds.

The Association of Municipal Enterprises (VKU) is proposing an obligation for households to connect to heating networks as part of the heat transition. According to Ingbert Liebing, general manager of the VKU, this obligation is not unreasonable and could save the municipal utilities the laborious work of persuasion in some areas. Liebing also suggests that if the municipal planning provides for heating networks, subsidies for other types of heating should be canceled.
The expansion of heating networks largely depends on how many buildings can be connected to a street, as the construction costs can be high. An obligation to connect could help utilities to better calculate future needs. The heating networks also have the potential to benefit from renewable energies, decarbonizing the heating area, and eliminating individual heating worries. However, around 70 percent of the energy in district heating networks still comes from fossil fuels, according to the energy efficiency association for heating, cooling and CHP (AGFW).
Despite this, the VKU is optimistic that all existing district heating networks can become climate-neutral by 2045, and a tripling of heating network connections by 2050 is possible in Germany. As changes are still being made to the Building Energy Act (GEG), Liebing advises households to wait before converting their heating systems. However, if they are in a hurry, they can inquire about district heating as an option.

Hailing from Houston, TX, the band has spent the past three years touring the US – on their own accord and dime.Three years ago also happens to be the same time when Roadrunner A&R Rep Ron Burman started taking notice. At the annual SXSW festival in Austin, TX, Ron saw the band for the first time. Though some songs were in place, Ron tells that at the time something was missing. Fast forward three years, late 2001, to a goneblind show at Arlene Grocery in NYC. “They fuckin’ smoked,” Ron states. “Fuckin’ blew me away.” And so it is, Roadrunner’s latest band in the family, goneblind. John Curry – vocals and guitar Mitch Burman – bass Marc Archer – drums Artie Rincon – guitar Description of the band? Hear for yourself – in our downloads section you will find an MP3 file of their song “Reminder”, a demo recorded back in August 2001 in Orlando, Florida. For you tech guys out there, this demo was recorded on a lil’ Roland 2480. Enjoy. goneblind, welcome aboard. goneblind, one of the newest acts to the Roadrunner family, is hitting the road from July 11-August 3 in the USA. This band, which is no stranger to the wears of the road, is confirmed to play the side stage on the upcoming Jerry Cantrell / Creed tour. The exact lineup for this tour is as follows: Creed headlining, Jerry Cantrell in direct support, and 12 Stones opening. On the side stage, it will be goneblind and another act called Familiar 48.
