Sir Vince Cable backs calls to help buses make York's air cleaner
Electric buses and York’s new Clean Air Zone was on the agenda as Sir Vince Cable MP paid a visit to First York ahead of Liberal Democrat Conference here in York.
Recently, £1.6 million was secured in the Council Budget to create the UK’s first voluntary Clean Air Zone in York, which will ensure that buses that frequently pass through the city centre are fitted with Euro 6 engines or better, therefore reducing pollutants in the city
The Clean Air Zone will build on the work already undertaken in the city to tackle air pollution, such as the introduction of more electric buses on the Park & Ride network.
On his visit, Sir Vince Cable was given the opportunity to see one of First York’s electric buses in action and also visit an electric bus charging station at Monks Cross Park & Ride.
Sir Vince Cable MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:
“Air pollution is one of the biggest health challenges in Britain today. I grew up in a York that was heavily polluted with factory smoke, but while the air is cleaner, there are still unacceptable levels of NOx and particulates. I was therefore pleased to take the opportunity to see the excellent work underway in York to tackle this issue.
“Cities must continue to invest and utilise new technologies, particularly electric vehicles, to cut air pollution for the benefit of current and future generations.”
Cllr Andrew Waller, Liberal Democrat Executive Member for the Environment, added:
“I am delighted to welcome Vince back to York and who him some of the excellent work ongoing in our city to combat air pollution.
“I would also like to thank First York for showcasing one of their new electric buses and charging stations; demonstrating how partners can work together to promote sustainable transport.
“The importance of ‘good’ air quality cannot be understated and we must continue in our efforts maintain these improvements.”
Marc Bichtemann, Managing Director at First York, commented:
“I’m delighted that Vince was able to see one of the latest electric buses, which will be introduced into York this year.
“Reducing emissions of buses is only part of the answer to improving air quality, as individual car use and the congestion caused is an even bigger contributor to air pollution in York. Each bus can take up to 75 cars off the congested streets, but this requires bold action to be taken to make buses an attractive choice. Reducing journey times and increasing punctuality and reliability of buses through real bus priority measures is needed if we are to reduce congestion and protect the environment.”

Welcome back to the IRWIN Summer Grill – Speedcafe.com.au's end of season videos highlighting 14 key aspects of 2010 V8 Supercars Championship Series, plus the issues that you'll need to look out for in 2011.
Today's IRWIN Summer Grill looks at Walkinshaw Racing – the organisation behind the Toll Holden Racing Team and Bundaberg Red Racing.
After finishing second and third in the 2009 title, hopes were high in the factory Holden camp, but it turned out to be a frustrating season. Only Garth Tander took the outfit's wins for the year, with Will Davison, Fabian Coulthard and Andrew Thompson all finishing outside the top 20.
Expert analysis Cameron McConville drove with the Toll HRT in the endurance races, taking a podium at Bathurst and winning a race on the Gold Coast. He gives you an insight into Walkinshaw's 2010 season, and how they can turn it around in 2011.

Discussions with VR and AR companies revolve around three main topics: the tech, the markets, and the money, but what about the content?
There has been an aggressive amount of investment already plunked down for VR- and AR-related hardware and technology, pouring billions into the VR/AR industry. In the last 12 months, the VR/AR industry had already reached $2 billion in investment.
Since March, investment has remained active, but investment amounts appear to be stabilizing to more realistic amounts in the $3 – $10 million range.
Some of the investments made in the past few weeks include:
- Bonfire Studios – MMOs – $25 million (not specifically focused on VR/AR)
- Bitmovin – video streaming – $10.3 million
- Vertebrae – VR advertising platform – $10 million
- OSVR Developer Fund – funding 15 new VR games ($5 million fund)
- Polyarc Games – VR gaming (exHalo) – $3.5 million
- InstaVR – VR authoring platform – $2 million
The Virtual Reality Venture Capital Alliance is an alliance of venture firms that was announced back at the end June and has grown from the initial 28 investment firms, to now 36 investment firms. Member companies include HTC, Legend Capital, Nvidia GPU Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Shanda, Softbank, and the fund has reached $12 billion, up from $10 billion just three months ago.
Back in August, HTC also announced their first round of 33 companies they are funding through their separate $100 million Vive X Accelerator Fund, including entertainment companies: Action Bunker VR, 7D Vision, LumiereVR; gaming companies Directive Games, Shortfuse, EdSenses, Omnigames, Metal Cat, Glowsticks Games; VR applications CleVR, appMagics, Teemew, SurrealVR), BreqLabs); VR tools/technologies RockVR, Apmetrix, Fishbowl VR, Kaleidoscope VR, Immersv, Wondergate, ObEN; and education/medical Augmented Intelligence, TheMetaverseChannel.
The latest to enter the investment ring is Razer, which announced last week that it has set up zVentures, a $20 million fund innovation in IoT, VR and Big Data solutions. zVentures is in addition to Razer’s $5 million fund for indie games, and $5 million focused on OSVR initiatives.
This current frenzy in investment is not without its downside, as we’ve seen with the recent last week that the firm could now face a possible FBI investigation.
Yet, even with all this funding “opportunity” there is a clear discrepancy in the market. Large game publishers and film studios are biding their time, testing internally, and waiting for more hardware to hit the market. Game developers and smaller film studios have jumped in early to try to gain an early advantage. They have invested in technology, new development, and ultimately have taken on much of the risk in getting content out to market early. From Digi-Capital’s distribution of investments, content (video, games and applications) is making up a small percentage of investments being made. Investors are still hesitant to invest in the riskier “content” play. The latest breakdown from Digi-Capital shows content (games and video) making up a small portion of the overall investment. Games and video content are what push new platforms into mainstream, yet we are not doing enough to support the ecosystem.
Recent findings from VRDC’s VR/AR Innovation Survey indicate nearly 50% of developers are currently paying for their own projects, with 33% of them using existing company funds. Work for hire and clients make up 17% of the development payment, with angel investors and venture capital making up 17% and 13% respectively.
At DICE Europe earlier in September, Hilmar Petursson, CEO of CCP acknowledged to the crowd of game executives that CCP is now on target to break even in VR after having invested $30 million. This, from a company that’s been in business since 1997, has incredible technical expertise, and a solid fan base already established with EVE Online.
Many people may not be aware that before starting CCP, Petursson along with others from CCP had started another company, Oz Interactive in 1990 that later became known as Oz.com. Oz.com was an early VRML developer and created Oz Virtual, a 3D world viewer. Needless to say, they know what they’re doing in 3D immersive experiences.
Nathan Burba, CEO of Survios, a Culver City based VR studio commented in an interview with Fast Company late last week that he believes his company is the first to reach $1 million in sales in a month with the company’s new game Raw Data. Raw Data, released on July 14, is currently only available on the HTC Vive.
Burda’s comments are consistent with figures from Stream Spy showing there are roughly 39,071 owners of Raw Data @ $39.99 brings the total sales to $1.4 million to date.
Burba also mentions in the article he estimates 20% of all Vive owners have purchased Raw Data which sells for $39.99 (bringing the Vive installed base to roughly 200,000).
CCP and Survios are seeing early success of their VR content, but we need to see more. Content providers are taking huge risks when the installed base is still extremely small. My deep concern for the coming 12 – 18 months is we need to find better ways to build out more direct investment channels strictly for VR and AR content. Otherwise, at the end of 2017 we will have a sea of failed studios unable to sustain themselves. Marco DeMiroz, a general partner at The VR Fund agrees saying, “Companies need to focus on nimbleness and longevity. Their fundraising must be based on a minimum of 15 – 18 months of cash horizon.”

One of my favorite bands of all-time is MUSE! I mean, I totally bore my friends and family (who aren't on Twitter or Facebook) about Muse. And, of course, I bore my Twitter and Facebook peeps with my love of MUSE! In fact, I was completely shocked when my cousin, Martha, asked, "who is Muse?" I thought, "HELLO!" Anyway, back to my post.
For months, I have been telling my friends and family that I was going to see Muse perform for the first time in Los Angeles. When I knew the date that Muse was playing in Los Angeles, I started to telling everyone that I will be at the September 25th concert. Here the problem, I didn't have tickets and I made no attempt to buy the tickets. But, deep in my heart, I was going, no matter WHAT!
September 23rd arrives, I'm thinking OMG, MUSE SATURDAY the 25th - I WILL BE THERE! Saturday morning arrives, with no tickets in hand, I log on to ticketmaster. I attempt to purchase two tickets to MUSE. AND my tickets were available, but it said, "limited view." I didn't care because as long as I was there and listening to my band.
I happily got ready to see my band. I drive up to the Staples Center (where the Lakers play). I go in and I'm shown to my seat. OMG, the stage is right in front me. I mean I have NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. The problem, there is a huge curtain. I'm thinking, "is this what ticketmaster meant by limited view?" Goodness, the opening band is Passion Pit, I could hear them, but not see them. I stayed positive and said, "I'm going to see Muse!" I did finally see the band, Passion Pit, as they were finishing up. You see I realized then that I was by the soundboard. How cool is that!
All around me, people were complaining, "I can't believe ticketmaster sold tickets... what are we going to see... this is b.s." And it goes on and on, but I stayed positive. I said, "I'm going to see MUSE!"
Suddenly, it gets dark and I knew my band was coming up. The intro started, imagines on the curtain. The images continues for about three minutes, then the music for song, Uprising, begins. And The CURTAIN FALLS!!! The stage is five to six feet in front of me. I CAN see the bands' faces! I'm so close that I can see the expressions on their faces and every detail of their clothing. OMG, I knew this was going to happen, I knew I was going to see MUSE. As I jumped and danced to the song, I thought, "the law of attraction is working for me once again!" Going to this concert, I was reminded I need to believe in me, believe that I can do it, believe that I can make. I will forever think of my band, Muse, with a big smile face.
I attached a video of the opening of the concert. (BTW, my seat was left hand side of the stage.) VIVA the LAW OF ATTRACTION- ALWAYS BELIEVE!!!
p.s. I, also, watched Kate Hudson leave the soundboard. She's dating the leading singer.

COMMON NAME: Song of India
DESCRIPTION: An upright columnar woody bush, usually not over 1.2m in height and 1m width.
LIGHT/POSITION: Medium to high light. Stems will twist towards the light if the plant is left in one position for a period of time. Leaves will also elongate, become thin and soften with age when the plant has been left in the same position. Suits a corner position away from draughts.
WATERING: Moist to dry depending on light. Growth is slow. Canes and leaves store water. Roots are easily damaged by excessive movement or overwatering, causing rot.
CLEANING: To remove dust, spray with neem soap and wipe carefully, avoiding “crunching” the leaves.
PESTS: Spider mite is the main problem pest and preventative spraying is mandatory, particularly in dry warm positions.
DISEASES: Root/stem rot may occur when overwatered and physical damage to roots due to excessive movement of canes may also occur.
FERTILISING: May be necessary when plants have been in the same position for some time. Apply weak liquid fertiliser in the growing season only.
PRUNING: Cut canes with a sharp clean knife if change of shape desired or a stem is damaged. New growth will appear below cut on healthy wood.
PRESENTATION: Manual opening of new leaves may be necessary to avoid the snapping of new growth. Turn regularly.
GENERAL INFORMATION: Usually presented as multi-canes in a single pot.

The Power of Light
The Lumie Desklamp provides extra-bright levels of light from special LEDs. It can be used to treat SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and sleep disorders, or to give anyone a mood, energy and concentration boost. Desklamp sits conveniently on your desk to emit therapeutic light at a level perfect for reading and working.
Not many people realise how important bright light is. As the nights close in towards winter and the days become gloomy, many of us begin to feel more downbeat. For some it’s something we just accept: that we are more sluggish in the darker months, more tired at work, less happy overall. For others (estimated 1 in 4 in the UK) it is more serious – winter blues or more severe SAD syndrome can be crippling, making sufferers depressed, lethargic and unproductive.
Luckily it doesn’t have to be like this. Light therapy is a readily available, scientific treatment that’s proven to help treat sufferers of SAD and the winter blues in a natural and healthy way.
The Science Behind Light Therapy
Numerous published studies have linked the lower levels of light in the autumn and winter to tiredness, overeating, low moods and social withdrawal. And they have found that in the darker days exposure to bright light – much brighter than normal home or office lighting – can make people feel alert, upbeat and energised.
Light therapy works by resetting your internal body clock. Your body clock, which tells you when to sleep and when to be awake, is controlled by a small group of cells at the back of the brain. These cells release hormones and other chemical messages to prepare the body for sleep or activity, based on how much strong, regular light is reaching the eye. This light is affected by irregular sleep routines, poorly-lit environments and low levels of light over the winter, meaning that we can feel sluggish even when we are supposed to be awake. Exposing ourselves to very bright light sends stronger signals to the brain that it is daytime. This makes us feel more awake during the day, and more ready for sleep at night.
Low serotonin levels (a feature of depression) improve significantly with light therapy and the production of cortisol (which helps us to get up and go) increases. Bright light suppresses the production of the hormone melatonin, which tells the brain it is dark and therefore time to sleep. In the darker winter months, or inside dimly lit rooms, low light levels may not provide a sufficient signal to stop melatonin being produced. A lightbox can change this.
Who is the Lumie Desklamp For?
Desklamp is designed for use in the office or at home since the high-contrast light also makes it great for reading and tasks. If your energy drops in the afternoon or if you’re working late or on nightshifts Desklamp has a removeable diffuser for fast effects. Leave the diffuser on if you have time for a longer session or prefer a softer spread of light. Bright light can help to reset the body clock for teenagers and adults who struggle to get up in the mornings, making them feel refreshed and brighter during the day, and more ready to sleep well at night. It helps people whose energy drops at work, in the afternoons or when they are doing nightshifts, by supplying them extra light as a much healthier pick-me-up than another cup of coffee. It also is perfect for those who miss the light of summer and suffer from the winter blues or the more serious SAD. Many SAD sufferers have found that bright lights make a big difference to their lives.
Look Out for Lux Levels
Light from Desklamp has a brightness level of 10,000 lux at 22cm. Lux is a measurement of brightness as the light reaches your eye. Genuine SAD lightboxes should tell you their lux level and the distance at which it is achieved (and this distance should be a natural one for sitting next to the lightbox – 5cm would be impractical!). The Desklamp lux level has been independently tested and verified. Even the brightest office will only provide about 500 lux, compared to the Desklamp’s 10,000 lux.
Desklamp is a Certified Medical Device
Desklamp certified to the Medical Devices Directive EC93/42. As a medical device, it conforms to European manufacturing standards and carries the correct CE mark. All Lumie lightboxes and SAD lights have been designed according to the results of relevant clinical trials and come with clear guidelines for correct medical usage. Lumie lamps are independently tested to confirm that they emit an only negligible amount of UV light – much less than normal daylight, which means that they are completely safe. Desklamp is also independently tested for blue light hazard to confirm it is well within the recommended guidelines.
Lumie, the Light Therapy Specialists
When you invest in a lightbox make sure it comes from a specialist, experienced company. Desklamp is made by Lumie, the Cambridge-based company who specialise in light therapy products, and nothing else. Lumie invented the integrated dawn simulator (sunrise alarm) back in 1993. Working with the scientific community and gaining vital customer feedback over the years, they have developed the concepts into the best-selling Bodyclock range, as well as applying their specialist knowledge to create other devices for health issues such as SAD, jet lag and acne. They now sell a full range of SAD light boxes, SAD lamps, light alarm clocks and acne lamps.

* works for me!
* I feared it will look like medical equipment but it actually looks quite OK, and also works as a desk lamp. Nice!
* Can't really say any.... well I wish it would be just a bit higher/longer so it is even more practical...
This is perfect, it not only meets my issues of 1 and 2 so far, it is also the best light to do your make up by I have ever encountered!! No more dark mornings when you get to work and as day light emerges you discover you've overdone the blusher and are now rocking the crazy clown look!
Worth every penny. I don't care for the control panel, but that's my only niggle, and very minor.

Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
4 November 2019
Deeds Registries Act Regulations have been amended.
The agriculture, land reform and rural development department published the amendments in Government Gazette 42813.
The amendments were drawn up by the Deeds Registries Regulations Board.
A new sub-regulation (1) is inserted in Regulation 68.
It deals with the making of copies for a lost or destroyed deed, registered lease or sublease or registered cession thereof or any mortgage or notarial bond.
“Provided that where a Registrar is satisfied that any deed mentioned in this paragraph has been inadvertently lost, destroyed, defaced or damaged by him, it shall, notwithstanding the provisions of subregulation (2), be competent for him to issue a copy thereof free of charge and without the need to comply with subregulation (1E), upon submission of an application and affidavit by the relevant conveyancer or person contemplated in section 15A (2).”
New sub-regulations (1E) and (11) are also added.
(1E) stipulates that, prior to the issuing of a certified copy, deed, registered lease or sub-lease or registered cession thereof or any mortgage or notarial bond, a notification of intention to apply for a certified copy must be published in a newspaper.
Objections to the issuing of copies can be lodged with the relevant Registrar of Deeds within two weeks from the date of the publication of the notice.
Sub-regulation (11) focuses on the cancellation of the registration duplicate of a mortgage or notarial bond.
New forms JJJ on lost or destroyed deed and KKK on lost or destroyed bond are inserted.
The amendments come into effect two months from the date of publication.

The Norwich goalkeeper has switched allegiance from England to Scotland and has been included in the 23-man squad for the forthcoming Euro 24 qualifiers against Cyprus and Spain.
Gunn has represented England through the youth ranks and has been part of the senior set-up before opting for the country of his father, former Scotland internationalist Bryan, with one notable tweet poking fun at Scotland’s expense resurfacing after his call-up.
“That’s not my decision to make, is it?” said Kelly when asked whether Gunn deserved to usurp he and Clark in the pecking order. “Only the manager can answer that. But he’s said it’s a clean slate for everybody. The manager is a really honest man and he’ll mean that. We’ll go in and every goalie will try and do their best. He’ll pick the team and it’s out of our hands.”
Kelly also insisted that it is premature to suggest that Scotland have seen the last of Craig Gordon. The 40-year-old goalkeeper is going through rehab following a double leg fracture sustained at the end of December but Kelly would not rule out a return to the highest level.
“I’m not so sure it’s a changing of the guard,” said Kelly. “I think there’s still plenty of life left in Craig Gordon yet.
“It’s quite frightening how you see him move in training, to be honest. For his age he’s unbelievable. Him and Allan McGregor are probably the two best goalies I’ve worked with. That won’t change.”

Private Party or Dealer: Private Party
This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was completed on July 8, 1965, and was refurbished in 2013 before it was purchased by the seller later that year. The car is finished in metallic beige over red leather upholstery, and power comes from a rebuilt, overbored 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes a PerTronix distributor, 15″ chrome wire wheels, front disc brakes, a black soft top, chrome bumpers with overriders, Lucas driving lamps, a heater, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, and an adjustable steering column. This BJ8 is now offered with a copy of a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, refurbishment photos, a list of maintenance performed under the seller’s ownership, and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
Delivered from the factory in Healey Blue, the body was disassembled and stripped during the refurbishment before undergoing a color change to Metallic Golden Beige using two-stage paint. Equipment includes a black soft top with a matching boot as well as Lucas driving lamps, a hood scoop, vent windows, and dual side-view mirrors. A replacement rear bumper was installed in September 2017. Paintwork on front and rear panels were reportedly performed under the seller’s ownership.
The 60-spoke chrome wire wheels feature knock-off hubs, and they are mounted with 165/80R15 Nexen SB-802 tires. A matching spare wheel and tire are mounted in the trunk. The suspension was disassembled in June 2019 and fitted with replacement front bushings and rear shocks. The brakes were also serviced at that time with the installation of a replacement brake booster and rebuilds of the front calipers.
The 2+2 cabin features low-back front bucket seats and rear jump seats that were reupholstered in red leather during the 2013 refurbishment. Red carpets line the floors, and Dynamat insulation was added to the transmission tunnel and floors in 2016. Additional equipment includes burl wood dash panels, a heater, front lap belts, and black Austin-Healey-branded front floor mats.
The Moto-Lita steering wheel is mounted on an adjustable column ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The speedometer and fuel-level gauge were rebuilt in July 2019, and the odometer was reset at that time. The five-digit odometer shows 650 miles, and approximately 1,500 miles have been added under the seller’s ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.9-liter inline-six was rebuilt in 2019 with .040″-over pistons, new cam and rod bearings, bronze valve guides, a timing chain tensioner, and gaskets. The twin SU carburetors were also rebuilt at that time, and a PerTronix distributor, replacement radiator, and electric cooling fan were also installed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive that was overhauled in 2016 and removed and resealed in December 2020. Replacement clutch cylinders were also installed at that time.
The copy of the BMIHT certificate indicates that the car was despatched on July 9, 1965, for the North American export market and lists factory equipment and identification numbers.

Sri Lanka PM quits as violence kills 5, injures 180
COLOMBO: Violence raged across Sri Lanka late into the night on Monday (May 9), with five people dead and about 180 injured as prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa quit after weeks of protests.
Those killed in the worst unrest since the crisis began included Amarakeerthi Athukorala, a lawmaker from the ruling party who shot two people. Another ruling party politician gunned down two others.
Earlier in the day, government supporters in the capital Colombo attacked with sticks and clubs opponents angry over Sri Lanka's worst economic crisis since the island nation's 1948 independence.
"We were hit, the media were hit, women and children were hit," one witness said, asking not to be named, as dozens of people were admitted to hospital.
United States Ambassador Julie Chung tweeted that Washington condemned "the violence against peaceful protestors" and called for the Sri Lankan government "to conduct a full investigation, including the arrest & prosecution of anyone who incited violence".
The clashes precipitated the resignation of prime minister Rajapaksa, the elder brother to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. In stepping down, the prime minister said that he was paving the way for a unity government.
But it was unclear if the opposition would join any administration with Gotabaya Rajapaksa as president, and the resignation failed to assuage public anger.
Retaliatory attacks by government opponents were reported across the island of 22 million people even after police declared an indefinite curfew.
Thousands of protesters tried to storm the official residence of the prime minister in the capital, setting fire to a truck at the entrance as they breached the main gate.
Police responded by firing tear gas and gunshots into the air from the residence where Mahinda Rajapaksa remained holed up.
Witnesses saw several tear gas canisters hit the US embassy compound across from the Temple Trees residence, a key symbol of state power in the South Asian country.
Officials said that the military deployed hundreds of troops to guard the outgoing prime minister and his aides at the building.
Elsewhere, ruling-party lawmaker Amarakeerthi Athukorala shot two people and then took his own life after a mob of anti-government protesters surrounded him outside Colombo, police said.
Athukorala's bodyguard was also found dead at the scene, police said.
Another ruling party politician who was not named opened fire on protesters in the southern town of Weeraketiya, killing two and wounding five, authorities said.
Police reported that dozens of homes of ruling party politicians were attacked by angry mobs across the island, setting fire to houses and vehicles.
Buses and trucks used by government loyalists to bring people to the capital earlier in the day were also targeted.
Doctors at Colombo National Hospital, where more than 180 people were treated for injuries, intervened to rescue wounded government supporters, with soldiers breaking open locked gates.
"They may be murderers, but for us they are patients who must be treated first," a doctor shouted at a mob blocking the entrance to the emergency unit.
Crowds also attacked a museum devoted to the Rajapaksas in the family's ancestral village in the deep south of the island, razing it to the ground, police said.
Several Rajapaksa homes were also torched in different parts of the country.
A hotel in Negombo owned by a close associate of Mahinda Rajapaksa's children was set ablaze, along with a Lamborghini car parked inside. There were no casualties among foreign guests, police said.
STATE OF EMERGENCY
Last Friday, the government imposed a state of emergency granting the military sweeping powers to arrest and detain people, after trade unions brought the country to a virtual standstill.
The defence ministry said that anti-government demonstrators were behaving in a "provocative and threatening manner" and disrupting essential services, in a statement on Sunday.
Sri Lanka's crisis was sparked after the COVID-19 pandemic hammered vital income from tourism and remittances, starving the country of foreign currency needed to pay off its debt and forcing the government to ban many imports.
This led to severe shortages, runaway inflation and lengthy power blackouts.
In April, the country announced that it was defaulting on its US$51 billion in foreign debt.
"Mahinda Rajapaksa likely read the writing on the wall and realised it was time to go," expert Michael Kugelman from the Wilson Center told AFP.
"But until and unless President Rajapaksa steps down, no one - whether the masses in the streets or key political stakeholders - will be appeased."

Food Delivery Market Surging Thanks to Online Orders
It used to be when you wanted to order food in, you had to pick up the phone, repeat your order loudly and clearly to the poor employee on the other end, and then wait and call back when that "thirty minutes" delivery window the quoted you had lapsed. And that's only if a restaurant offered delivery at all. But, of course, we live in a new age where apps and smartphones can bring us pretty much anything we want any any time. And as CNBC reports, a new study suggests that online ordering platforms like Grubhub are fueling a surge in the meal delivery market.
The investment firm Cowen predicts that the market will experience a 79 percent spike in value by 2022, thanks to ease with which people can order food from their phones or computers.
"All in, we forecast delivery to grow from $43 billion in 2017 to $76 billion in 2022, 12% annually over the next five years," Cowen chief analyst Andrew Charles said in a statement on Wednesday.
It's not just millennials that are behind the boom either. Cowen found that adults 35-44 also regularly indulge in online meal delivery services.
Cowen surveyed online delivery users and found that 34 percent of respondents use Grubhub, 70 percent higher than the closest competitor listed on the survey. Since the majority of people use Grubhub as their food delivery service, the firm predicts that Grubhub's revenue will increase 22 percent in the next five years.
According to a survey released this April, Grubhub (which merged with Seamless in 2013) is America's favorite food delivery service. In the first quarter of 2017, the service delivered food to 8.75 million people, with an average of 324,000 customers per day. (The service is so popular that one women even confessed to being addicted to Grubhub back in 2014.)
Right now, the entire online delivery market is already worth $20 billion. By 2022, that number will likely have jumped to $55 billion. The analysts also noted that foods like chicken and hamburgers are beginning to outpace "traditional delivery staples," like Chinese food and pizza.
Restaurant sales still come in at about $783 billion annually, meaning that (thankfully) online food ordering hasn't phased out sit-down dinners—not yet at least. And contrary to popular belief, millennials aren't actually behind the demise of the chain restaurant: They still love Olive Garden (which is also jumping on the delivery service wagon with a new partnership with Amazon).
As food delivery continues to grow, who knows what the industry will come up with next? Robots might start delivering your pizza (we're actually not too far off), perhaps kitchens without any seating areas out front will become a new norm, maybe you'll never have to leave your house to eat again. The future, especially when it comes to food, will be full of surprises, and we're guessing they'll all be delivered to your door.

Introduction - The Administration of Medicines
The following information has been written in response to concerns which Head Teachers and staff have expressed about their responsibilities towards pupils with medical needs in school (i.e. nursery; primary; secondary and special schools and units). Contact Inclusion Development Manager (ASN), Moray Council Headquarters for further information if required.
Purpose of Policy
This policy has been written to help schools formulate procedures for managing medication in schools, and to put in place effective management systems to support individual pupils with medical needs. A positive response by the school to a pupil’s medical needs will not only benefit the pupil directly, but can also positively influence the attitude of the whole class.
The policy which follows is intended to assist schools to formulate their own procedures in the light of their own assessment of local needs and resources. It is hoped that when doing so they will find this policy helpful.
Proforma are provided, as part of this pack, Appendix G and Forms Med 1 - Med 6, which should be photocopied for use by schools.
This policy is not a definitive interpretation of the law: interpreting the law is a matter for the Courts alone.
Pupils with Medical Needs
Most pupils will at some time have a medical condition that may affect their participation in school activities. For many this will be short-term; perhaps finishing a course of medication.
Other pupils have medical conditions that, if not properly managed, could limit their access to education. Such pupils are regarded as having medical needs. Most children with medical needs are able to attend school regularly and, with some support from the school, can take part in most normal school activities. However, school staff may need to take extra care in supervising some activities to make sure that these pupils, and others, are not put at risk.
An Individual Pupil Protocol (Form Med 3) can help schools to identify the necessary safety measures to support pupils with medical needs and ensure that they and others are not put at risk. Detailed procedures on how to draw up an Individual Pupil Protocol (IPP) are included in this policy.
Support for Pupils with Medical Needs
Parents or guardians have prime responsibility for their child’s health and should provide schools with information about their child’s medical condition. Parents, and the pupil if he/she is mature enough, should give details in conjunction with their child’s GP or paediatrician, as appropriate. The school doctor or nurse and specialist voluntary bodies may also be able to provide additional background information for school staff. Schools should not, however, act on the advice of such voluntary bodies without first referring the proposal to do so to the School Health Service for approval.
The School Health Service can provide advice on health issues to pupils, parents, teachers, education officers and the Moray Council in working together to ensure pupils with medical needs and school staff have effective support in schools.
There is no legal duty which requires school staff to administer medication; this is a voluntary role. Staff who provide support for pupils with medical needs, or who volunteer to administer medication, need support from the Head Teacher and parents, access to information and training, and reassurance about their legal liability.

Geelong Cats' Heroic Triumph: Rohan's Resilience and Teamwork Seal Victory in Thrilling AFL Clash!
Isaac Smith celebrates a goal during round 17, 2022. Picture: AFL Photos
In an unforgettable AFL match, the Geelong Cats showed their never-give-up attitude and won a thrilling game against Melbourne by 15 points. The game was played in heavy rain at the GMHBA Stadium and had a moment of high drama when Geelong's Gary Rohan collided with his teammate Jeremy Cameron. But it was Rohan's heroic response and outstanding performance that stole the show. Let's dive into the game and explore the incredible moments that unfolded.
The Collision and Courage: At the start of the game, something unfortunate happened—Gary Rohan accidentally collided with Jeremy Cameron. Cameron had to be taken off on a stretcher due to a concussion, which worried everyone. But instead of letting it bring him down, Rohan showed tremendous courage and went to Cameron, encouraging him to stay focused on winning the game. This act of selflessness set the tone for the rest of the match and showcased the Cats' true spirit.
Rohan's Heroic Performance: Despite the collision, Rohan didn't let it affect his game. He played exceptionally well and became the game-changer for Geelong. He scored three crucial goals, made 16 successful passes, and took seven catches. His final goal, where he skillfully outmaneuvered Steven May and scored, sealed the victory for the Cats. The crowd erupted in joy as Rohan's resilience and determination shone through. His teammates, coaches, and fans praised him for his remarkable character and performance.
Geelong's Strong Finish: Going into the last quarter, Geelong was trailing by seven points. But they didn't give up. Instead, they launched a remarkable comeback. Geelong's players displayed their determination and scored six consecutive goals, turning the game around completely. Young players like Tanner Bruhn and Brad Close played crucial roles in this comeback. The Cats' relentless pressure and unwavering belief overwhelmed Melbourne and left everyone amazed.
Coach Scott's Admiration: Geelong's coach, Chris Scott, was celebrating his 300th game as coach, and he couldn't hide his admiration for Rohan. Scott praised Rohan's maturity and bravery, despite the emotional impact of the collision. He acknowledged Rohan's positive influence on and off the field, emphasizing his exceptional character. Scott's words reflected the respect and admiration the whole team had for Rohan's incredible resilience.
The Geelong Cats' victory over Melbourne will be remembered as a shining example of resilience and teamwork. Gary Rohan's response to the collision and his outstanding performance symbolized the spirit of the Cats. Their strong finish in the final quarter not only secured an important win but also sent a powerful message to their opponents. As the Cats continue their journey in the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, they will draw strength from their triumph over adversity, knowing that their determination and belief can lead them to even greater success.

Feb. 22, 2023
February 24th marks one year since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched the most disruptive war to date in Europe since 1945. In that time, the Ukrainian military has fought its way to considerable battlefield success and liberated significant territory near Kyiv and in the country’s east and south. Now these regions face a long road to recovery, even as Putin continues to bomb critical infrastructure, apartment complexes, and other civilian targets, and threats of a new Russian offensive loom.
But the impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine will extend far beyond just this moment in time, and the lessons we take away from this conflict will be vital for the future of war. New America’s experts talk about what’s on their radar as the conflict continues and what they see on the horizon for Ukraine.
Candace Rondeaux, Director, Future Frontlines:
As Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters into its second year, much of the attention will rightly focus on measuring the impact of American and European military aid to Ukrainian forces on the battlefield. But it will be equally important to keep a close eye on Russia's aggressive cultivation of nations in Africa where Vladimir Putin has deployed the Wagner Group paramilitaries to advance the Kremlin's geopolitical ambitions. The upcoming Russia-Africa summit in July is just one of many signs that Putin plans to continue doubling down on Africa to maintain Russia's influence over important UN votes on the status of conflicts where Russia has a vested interest, including Ukraine. While the Biden Administration appears to have registered the challenge Russia's growing influence in Africa and elsewhere presents for diplomacy on Ukraine, Washington is still way behind the curve and is unlikely to catch up soon.
Tim Robustelli, Policy Analyst, Future of Land and Housing:
Recent victories in Ukraine have meant that some regions can start rebuilding. Yet this road to recovery is “akin to rebuilding a home as it burns,” as Putin continues to bomb cities and infrastructure, and the threat of another Russian offensive looms. Nearly 14 million people remain displaced internally or in neighboring countries. Getting these Ukrainians back into their homes, or compensating them for damaged property, is both a critical need and a monumental task. An incomplete registry of who owns what house, damage to approximately 150,000 residential buildings, along with an estimated $500 billion in total recovery costs, all means that the Ukrainian government must continue to rely on innovative approaches for rebuilding. Widespread use of the digital service platform Diia is indicative: Nearly 320,000 Ukrainians have submitted property claims on the app, with the hope that restitution or compensation can then occur more efficiently and transparently. And then there’s funding. Ukraine and its allies should move forward with leveraging seized Russian assets to help pay for homes, hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. Ultimately, and despite the immense obstacles, Ukraine has the tools and techniques at its disposal to get this right.
Allison Price, Senior Advisor, Digital Impact and Governance Initiative:
After a year of Russian bombings and terror, the world has watched the remarkable grit and strength displayed by Ukrainians. Similarly remarkable, though not as visible, is the advancement of Ukraine’s digital government initiatives. The urgency and ambition that sparked Ukraine’s implementation of digital public infrastructure (DPI) and the modern provision of public services may resonate well beyond the region and this moment in time. Ukraine’s e-government pursuit is widely regarded as a model of resilience and adaptability in the public sector. Both complicated and expedited by war, this work is powered by large collaborative networks of technologists and civic innovators — in and out of the country — as well as extraordinary cross sector partnerships.
David Sterman, Senior Policy Analyst, International Security:
In the next year it will be important to keep an eye on how the war in Ukraine may reshape the forms and conditions of international cooperation on issues from climate change to counterterrorism. One area to monitor is the war’s influence on calls for the expansion of terrorism designation architecture. This includes a greater push to designate the Wagner Group and various Iranian entities supporting Russia’s war as terrorist organizations or even labeling Russia itself as a state-sponsor of terror. While there may be merit to some of these proposals, care is required given the complexity and already apparent tensions within the global community over terrorism designations.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.
This week, I joined Fox Business to discuss the Biden administration’s planned White House Disinformation Board and their efforts to stifle free speech. A government entity that polices the statements of its citizens is anti-American, the stuff of Orwellian fantasy, and unlike anything I would expect to see in this country. Click here or below to watch my interview.
This week is National Police Week, and I spoke on the House floor to publicly thank our men and women in law enforcement who dutifully protect & serve our communities. Click here to view my remarks.
Additionally, I joined Leader Kevin McCarthy, my Republican colleagues, and Capitol Police officers for the second Back the Blue Bike Tour in honor of National Police Week. We rode together from the Capitol to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, where we paused to honor fallen police officers from Pennsylvania and across America.
Supporting our police & promoting public safety shouldn't be a red or blue issue but a red, white, and blue issue. We all must back the blue!
This week, we also got to host PA GOP Vice-Chair Bernie Comfort and the latest class of the Anne Anstine Excellence in Public Service Series in Washington. It was a great visit, and we shared our experience serving in U.S. Congress.
IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Biden's crisis at the border continues to worsen... and now he wants to lift Title 42 and significantly increase the flow of illegals across our southern border. This crisis was 100% created by the policies of the Biden administration and the Democrat Party.
Here are statements by the former commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, President of the National Border Patrol Council, former director of ICE, retired special agent of the DEA, and the former acting director of the Citizenship & Immigration Services. I have spoken to each one of these people officials. Here are some of the information they are sharing...
- The border crisis is not about resources; it’s about policy.
- Border security is on the ballot this November.
- There are many reasons illegals are being let into the country, but allowing them to vote is a reason.
- Over 1.7 million have illegally entered the nation.
- Over 750k have gotten away and entered the nation. To put that in perspective, that is the population of the state of Vermont.
- If we reinstated the Remain in Mexico, they would stop attempting to enter the nation, and they will stop paying thousands of dollars to drug cartel coyotes ushering them in.
- The coyotes are making as much on human trafficking as they are on drugs.
- And these Mexican drug mules are working with China cartels.
- Biden and Secretary of Homeland Secretary Mayorkis have done nothing to slow illegals attempting to cross into the nation.
- Mayorkis is deliberately not enforcing laws and was held in contempt of Congress.
- The deadly drugs brought across the border amount to a chemical weapon attack on our youth.
Lifting Title 42 will only make things worse. We need to call every Democrat member of Congress and the White House. We must overwhelm them with calls and emails and tell them to stop this madness and not to lift Title 42. Currently, Biden plans to lift Title 42 on May 23. This will at least DOUBLE the flow of illegals and drugs into the U.S. There are tens of thousands of adults camping out at the Mexico border in anticipation of Title 42 to be lifted so adults can enter without any regard or requirements for the Covid-19 vaccinations.
The Biden Administration inherited the most secure border and made it the most unsecure.
Around the District
On Monday, we visited Sullivan County with State Representative Joe Hamm. We were joined by Sullivan County District Attorney Julie Shaffer, who took time out of her day to take us around the courthouse and introduce us to several small businesses.
We also made a stop at a new employer, Unity Lab, which took over for the Hoffman New Yorker plant. Unity Lab manufactures and distributes its products for the clothing industry. Unity Lab has retained all the old employees and is rapidly growing in the area. Great operation
On Tuesday, we visited the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce, where I spoke to their leadership program, which is comprised of management from many Schuylkill County businesses and organizations. They had the opportunity to discuss ongoing issues and ask questions about being a member of Congress.
Yesterday, Shelley and I attended the 80th surprise birthday party of a great friend to many, Santo Agati. (Shelley and I are pictured below with Santo and our good friend Dave Baloga)
Last night, I attended the Northumberland GOP Dinner. Great event, and I enjoyed having the chance to address an excited group of patriots.
While I am running unopposed, I humbly ask for your vote in the upcoming Primary to continue representing the 9th Congressional District. The new 9th District consists of the following counties, Bradford, Columbia, Lebanon, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wyoming and parts of Berks, Luzerne, and Lycoming counties. This largely encompasses and expands the current 9th District. We have some big goals to accomplish this year electorally, beginning with winning back control of the U.S. House and retiring Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I recorded a radio ad for our re-election campaign, viewed by clicking here.
On Friday morning, I attended a rally for Dave McCormick! Ted Cruz joined us in Wilkes Barre Township for a packed house and an energetic rally. Dave is an America First Patriot, and Senator Ted Cruz was great. Dave is a native of Bloomsburg, was a standout football player and wrestler at Bloomsburg High School, went to West Point, served in the U.S. Army, and built a business. Now, Dave is dedicated to serving our nation full time again.
Folks, I feel it very important to elect a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania whom we can COUNT ON. We must be CONFIDENT our nominee will be a consistent conservative. Unfortunately, not every candidate has proven to be conservative. Dr. Oz regularly sympathizes with left-wing positions... this is unnerving and sounds very Romneyesque.
We need a nominee who will fearlessly fight for a constitutional, law and order, militarily strong, and pro-growth America. Dave McCormick will do the job, be accessible, and proudly represent our interests. As well, Dave is the Conservative that will win in November. Please strongly consider voting for Dave, a real America First conservative.
Remember, polls are open from 7 am – 8 pm. Click here to find your polling location.
Keep up the faith and the fight,

Trip Planner: South Pacific / Australia / New South Wales / Greater Sydney / Sutherland Shire / Loftus / Sydney Tramway Museum
The Sydney Tramway Museum is Australia's oldest tramway museum and the largest in the southern hemisphere. It is located in Loftus in the southern suburbs of Sydney.Add Sydney Tramway Museum to your Loftus travel itinerary, and discover new vacation ideas by using our Loftus online trip itinerary maker.
The museum was officially opened at its original site on the edge of the Royal National Park by NSW Deputy Premier Pat Hills in 1965. It was relocated to a larger site across the Princes Highway adjacent to Loftus railway station which opened on 19 March 1988.
On 23 October 2015 at about 11:00 to 11:30 pm a museum storage shed caught fire and was destroyed. Located off the main museum site, at its original location in the Royal National Park near Loftus Oval, the shed housed the museum's reserve collection of six trams, four buses and a double decker bus chassis dating to 1937. The shed and contents were destroyed. One tram lost, 1898 C12, was within weeks of being completely restored after months of work.
The museum has an extensive collection of trams from Sydney and cities in Australia and around the world. There are two tram lines radiating from the museum that are used to run tram rides for museum visitors.
One line runs 1.5 km north towards Sutherland railway station, paralleling Rawson Avenue in the way that parts of Sydney's tram system operated.
The second runs to the south and utilises the Royal National Park branch railway line that was constructed in 1886 and closed to trains in June 1991. In 1993 the Museum converted the line to light rail standards and connected it to the then existing Sutherland line to establish what is now a most popular means of access to the world's second oldest national park.

We love visiting the Tramway Museum. The kids love riding the tram to the national park and to Sutherland, and the museum is great to see a range of old trams from many countries. The volunteer staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, and it's great fun to see them operate the trams as they did back in the day. There is seating for picnics, a small canteen, and a small shop for souvenirs and gifts.
A wonderful volunteer-run museum filled with many artifacts from the now-extinct Sydney Tramway Network. The entry fee also includes as many rides on the operating trams that day. The trams run on a dedicated line that extends into the Royal National Park. Riders can disembark at the Royal National Park and visit the National Park if they so wish. There are a number of picnic tables (where you can enjoy your own BYO lunch) located at the Tram Museum under and around the old Railway Square Waiting Station, which was relocated from Railway Square in Sydney CBD to the Museum many years ago. A small kiosk on site sells refreshments, such as soft drinks, juice, chips and ice creams. The Display Hall houses a number of significant heritage items, including trams from overseas and from other parts of Australia. Many of the trams are kept in running condition and can be operated by the museum volunteers; indeed, on the day I visited, I was able to ride a Melbourne tram that was retired in the 1970's and a Brisbane Tram that was decommissioned in the 1960's! Be sure to look at the very unique Prison Tram in the display hall. The volunteers appear to work tirelessly to maintain and upgrade the museum. Their subject matter knowledge appears to be quite extensive, and the volunteers I encountered were eager, friendly and helpful. Children were encouraged to learn more about the trams and the history of the old tram networks that operated those trams.
