RESIDENTS of a private estate in Lancaster say they have been left in limbo over who is looking after the land around their homes.
Beaumont Park, off Slyne Road, was built by Norman Jackson’s building and civil engineer contractors 18 years ago, but plans to hand over the maintenance to Lancaster City Council have fallen by the wayside.
Jackson’s are now looking for potential investors to take the estate from them and continue upkeep of the grounds, which include a play area and open woodland by the canal.
Residents have also been offered the chance to set up a committee to look after the estate themselves.
Lucy Leach, who has lived in Hornby Court on the estate for 16 years, said: “The residents have been left in limbo. We don’t know if anyone’s going to be looking after it now; no one knows what is going on.
“There was a suggestion that a residents’ committee be set up to pay towards the upkeep of the grounds but that was thrown out, because some properties are rented and some are elderly residents.
“It just wasn’t something that was wanted because people didn’t come here to look after a public area. We just want to know that the grounds are going to be taken over and kept in good condition.”
Jackson’s managing director Roy Jackson admitted that the firm is trying to sell the estate.
“I have given the residents the chance to take it off us, but they don’t want it,” Mr Jackson said. “It costs us about £3,500 a year for ground maintenance. We drew up a plan for the residents which worked out at 50p per week per house.”
Mr Jackson said an initial agreement made between the company and the city council, which would have allowed the council to take on the estate’s upkeep, was no longer legally binding due to policy changes.
“We have been in consultation with them but they are not interested,” he said.
“I am desperate to move the whole thing forward but we will continue to look after the land because we are responsible developers.”
Jackson’s has now submitted a planning application to build four new three-bed starter homes on the estate in a bid to raise interest in the site from potential investors.
As part of this, a mature tree was cut down which Mr Jackson says was diseased and will be replaced by four new trees.
A city council spokesman said that while the council has no legal responsibility for the land, they “would not be averse to entering into negotiations with the site owner to facilitate taking over the maintenance of the landscaping and amenity land.”
In common with similar agreements, the council would require a contribution to be made covering the next 10 year’s maintenance costs.

BY FRANK GRAVES
[Ottawa – September 19, 2014] Twenty-five years ago, Francis Fukuyama penned a seminal essay titled the “End of History?” This essay claimed that liberal capitalism had triumphed. This celebratory conclusion was noted in the dissolution of state socialism and the ascendance of the United States to hyperpower status1 and the provocative notion that the dialectical tensions of history had ended and the riddle of history had been solved in American supremacy. At the end of the century, the ascension of a growing and optimistic middle class in the last half of the twentieth century seemed destined to continue indefinitely in a post-business-cycle world fuelled by information technology and globalization.2
A mere generation later, this exuberant conclusion appears risibly wrong in the light of the decline of American economic and political dominance and the rise of Southeast Asia and other new superpowers. Even more disturbingly, it would seem that the citizens of upper North America and the advanced Western democracies are no longer convinced of the basic “ethic of progress”, which underpinned the miracle of liberal capitalism.
The high water mark may have been September 10th, 2001, but since then, America has surrendered its hyperpower status and the robust four to five per cent average growth of the last half of the twentieth century has been replaced with a much more tepid one to two per cent growth punctuated with two massive economic disruptions. Moreover, the distribution of this much more slowly growing pie has been increasingly appropriated by a very slender cohort of those at the very top of the economic spectrum.3 In this new age of stagnation, the vast majority of citizens have seen almost no progress at all over the last 25 years. Despite huge growth in human capital formation and a much larger fraction of the population working (particularly as female labour force participation has burgeoned), the net impact has been only the stabilization of household incomes.
So in a very real sense, the very idea of progress – the promise of a better life, security, and the comforts of middle class membership – has halted. Moreover, the evidence is that this new world of “progress lost” is moving further in the wrong direction. The trajectories all point downward in terms of the tracking of these perceptions and experiences. The gloomy outlook on the present fades to black as citizens ponder a future where only around ten per cent believe the next generation will experience the progress achieved by the previous generations.
Self-defined middle class membership has fallen precipitously in both Canada and the United States. In Canada, the incidence of individuals who have fallen behind their father’s income at the same period in life rises from 15 per cent to 34 per cent to 44 per cent as we move from seniors to boomers to Generation X. The long fall of the middle class is already occurring as around 20 per cent have fallen out of self-defined middle class status. In net terms, these movements are all downward to the working class and poor.
Despite the near universal public consensus of a brewing crisis of the middle class, as well as a clear sense that new forms of inequality and a broken incentive system are driving this decline, prominent spokespersons and politicians deny – even ridicule – this emerging public judgement as a “phoney crisis”.4 The New York Times even goes so far as to say that Canada’s middle class is the richest in the world (not true, but compared to what Frank Bruni calls “America the Shrunken”, we are around par). The right wing commentariat gleefully seize upon partial stories and research to suggest that: (i) this is a non issue and only of concern to liberal policy “wonks”; and (ii) things are actually swimmingly well and even if public shows fears, they are being foolish.
While the punditry debates reality and severity of the middle crisis, this debate is not reflected in public attitudes or experiences of the economy. Whatever The New York Times or the Globe and Mail may say, the public are not buying it. Indeed, Canada’s “world leading” middle class is convinced it is falling behind. The public overwhelming rejects the notion that this is a manufactured crisis of liberal policy and the intellectual elite. Furthermore, 73% of Canadians reject the notion that income inequality is not an important issue. Even in the more conservative, anti-establishment constituencies, a clear majority recognize the importance of this issue. This new crisis of the middle class is possibly the defining issue of our time and, at the very least, one of the pinnacle issues demanding urgent attention.
What Has Changed?
About a decade ago, we started noticing a series of disturbing changes. For the first time, we were seeing evidence that Canadians weren’t moving ahead of their parents’ achievements. Short, medium, and longer term optimism have all been steadily eroding over the last decade. Perceptions of job security are much stronger than in late nineties, but have been trending downward recently. Public confidence in direction of country and trust in government has reached new lows.
The economy is also changing profoundly and affecting public outlook. There is growing evidence that society’s belief in progress and a better future is unravelling. These shifts are rooted in fears of Western decline and the rising concentration of wealth at top (although they reject the zero-sum argument that the rise of China and other BRIC nations is an important factor). The middle class is shrinking, and it sees itself as the primary loser over the longer term. The point isn’t that Canada is in a state of privation and economic distress (it clearly isn’t). Rather, the point is that the policies and institutions that produced progress and success don’t seem to be working the same way anymore. For example, the New York Times article pointed to unions and progressive taxation as key to Canada’s better-than-the-USA performance – and both are in decline in this country. Indeed, the problem is accelerating as we move down the generational ladder.
Finally, fears are highest when turned to the future, particularly concerns about retirement and the fate of future generations. The grey outlook on the present turns almost black as the public ponder the fate of future generations. By huge margins, the public sees the middle class as tending to pessimism over optimism and shrinking rather than growing (and they see growing income inequality as a key factor). This vividly contrasts with a virtual consensus that the opposite – a growing and optimistic middle class – is a precondition for societal health and well-being. So it appears that we have at least temporarily reached the end of progress.
Implications of the Crisis of the Middle Class
Growth has been proceeding – albeit at very tepid pace. But the relatively smaller, more slowly growing pie isn’t being equally consumed. Too little growth is going to an increasingly slender cohort and the rest are left with a simmering sense of betrayal and despair.
Most foresee serious generational strains as these pressures grow dramatically and when we unbundle the data from older to younger citizens we see that the problems are infecting those after the seniors in harsher and harsher ways. Unusual and profound differences emerge between age cohorts; typical youth optimism has given way to a growing sense of insecurity. The current generation sees itself falling backward and sees an even steeper decline in future. Unfortunately, much of what benefits older Canada actually harms younger Canada. “Wealth” in Canada is being floated on burgeoning debt fuelled by an unprecedented housing bubble that obscures stagnation for older Canadians and poses insurmountable barriers to those under 40.
Shockingly, the majority sees this trajectory leading to the possibility of “violent class conflict” if these trends continue. In a relatively short time, we have gone from the exuberant triumphalism of the “end of history” and a flat world immune from business cycles to a world (suggested by Thomas Piketty’s remarkably gloomy Capital in the Twenty-First Century5) that may well see the collapse not of state socialism, but of liberal capitalism.
There are a myriad of complex and interconnected factors seen as the agents of this stagnation and pessimism, but none is more important than a newfound failure of the economy to provide the balance of incentives and fairness which permit economic and societal progress. This reflects the broad historical conclusions reached by Damon Acemoğlu in his book, Why Nation States Fail.6 Whatever the specific causal mechanisms there can be little doubt that a shrinking, pessimistic middle class which feels it is falling backward is not a harbinger of a healthy economic or societal future.
Given the trends we have identified in recent years, we are witnessing what we have called the “End of Progress”. Wages and vertical intergenerational mobility have stagnated – even declined, and there are even deeper fears about a dark, long-term economic future. While these fears are somewhat exaggerated, they reflect harder trends (for example, see Lemieux). Disentangling our data by generational cohorts explains some of the apparent paradox. The problem magnifies dramatically as we move down generational spectrum. Things which temporarily cushion middle class fortunes in older (over 42) Canada actually worsen the plight of younger (under 42) Canada (e.g., swollen housing equity).
The latest public opinion data show no improvement; in fact, the numbers seem to be worsening. This is particularly troubling, since sentiment and perception can condition behaviour (self-fulfilling prophecy). Inequality is seen as the key driver of this end of progress, but a new form (or perhaps re-encounter of old form) of inequality from the Gilded Age has arisen. It is no longer the traditional income inequality narrative of the rich versus poor, but rather the über rich versus everyone else.
So what can be done? First, it is important to note the collapse of faith in trickle down economics – Canadians are no longer buying into the narrative that small government and low taxes translates into prosperity for all. Indeed, the rising tide of austerity and lower taxes has failed to lift all boats, although it has raised a few spectacular yachts. From coast to coast, Canadians are calling for changes to incentives, a more active state, and a reversal of the exponential rise of the plutocrats.
The public emphatically reject notion that this is a manufactured or artificial crisis. The vast majority of Canadians believe that a growing and optimistic middle class is essential to economic growth and prosperity, but a similar proportion doesn’t see this in place. New inequality and middle class decline maybe the issue of our age. The window for dealing with this situation is closing and we need bold action tantamount to those which transformed Gilded Age into the era that saw the ascension of an inclusive, growing, and optimistic middle class.

Today’s business environment demands informed decision-making. It is essential to efficiently manage operations, achieve regulatory compliance and provide superior customer service—all while continuing to control revenue and resources. When it comes to liquid flow measurement, every drop counts.
Often, flow is the only parameter measured to understand what is happening inside pipes in industrial facilities. Flow measurement allows operators to know that the right process medium is in the right place, at the
Users of flow meters are faced with a multiplicity of instrument designs to choose from to fulfill measurement requirements.
Different meter technologies are needed because each type functions properly in applications where the characteristics are compatible with its particular sensing principle.
Why Choose Ultrasonic?
There are multiple industrial applications that call for accurate flow measurement. However, traditional methods are not always an option, hence the need for nondestructive, noninvasive technologies and methods. Ultrasonic flow meters are the equipment of choice whenever contact with the measured fluid is not possible.
Transit time ultrasonic flow meters are used in the majority of liquid flow applications because of their ability to obtain accurate measurements.
With this technology, ultrasonic waves transmit upstream and downstream through the pipe wall and liquid in the pipe. By measuring the difference in the travel time and knowing the pipe size, the meter determines the velocity and flow.
Transit time ultrasonic meters also have diagnostic capabilities that other flow technologies do not. By measuring the speed of sound of the fluid, they can report changes in fluid temperature and/or other properties.
Clamp-on ultrasonic meters are easily installed without cutting or tapping the pipe. They reside outside the process line and provide precise flow measurement with reduced installation costs, uninterrupted production, installation flexibility across a wide range of pipe sizes, no pressure head loss, no contact with internal liquid and no moving parts to maintain.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters can be a preferable alternative to traditional mechanical meters, which are subject to deteriorating accuracy caused by wear and tear. Additionally, the need for mechanical meters to be periodically tested, recalibrated and repaired means they have to be removed, requiring users to either replace the meter with a temporary device or cease abstraction until the meter is refitted back into the line.
How They Operate
Transit time ultrasonic meters use two transducers. These function as both ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. They operate by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency-modulated burst of sound energy between the two transducers. The burst is transmitted in the direction of fluid flow and then against fluid flow.
Since sound energy in a moving liquid is carried faster when it travels in the direction of fluid flow (downstream) than it does when it travels against fluid flow (upstream), a differential in the times of flight will occur. This phenomenon is accurately measured in both directions, and the difference in time of flight calculated. The liquid velocity (V) inside the pipe can be related to the difference in time of flight (dt) through the following equation:
Recent developments have enabled today’s clamp-on transit time ultrasonic flow meters to reach a level of applicability, functionality, economy and performance establishing it as the prime candidate for a host of applications.
Typical examples for ultrasonic flow meters include water systems, wastewater effluent, agricultural irrigation and industrial discharge.
New meters reside outside the pipe and are compatible with a wide range of pipe sizes. They can be retrofitted into existing installations without shutting down system operations—reducing both installation time and material costs.
K = a constant
D = the distance between the transducers
The meter can provide the baseline and load profile information needed to effectively optimize system efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Benefits to End Users
Selecting the flow meter best suited for an application will result in improved accuracy, reliability and lowered maintenance costs, and can promote a long life for the instrument. Ease of installation and low cost of ownership make clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters an appropriate choice for many end users.
Clamp-on meters can positively impact the overall cost of flow monitoring and efficiency. They offer ease of use so that operators can do their jobs without unnecessary disruptions.
In part because clamp-on meters sit outside of the pipe, they can be used to measure several types of fluids, ranging from ultra-pure water, clean liquids and high viscosity liquids to sewage and wastewater, corrosive and/or abrasive liquids and hydrocarbons.
Industrial organizations can sometimes better address key areas such as process planning, maintenance and resource deployment, and leakage detection and rectification with these flow meters.
Ultrasonic technologies find many applications in measurement. Transit time techniques find favor in flow measurement and are used in a variety of flow meters. The performance of these meters is now well understood, and their use in challenging applications continues to produce useful results.

Have your say on Brexit progress at FSB and Future50 debate
- Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto
For more than 18 months, Brexit has been the biggest issue in the business landscape – but what will it mean for small businesses? And how are they coping with it now?
These are among the questions to be tackled at a special Brexit debate event for East Anglian businesses next month.
Future50 has teamed up with the Federation of Small Businesses and the University of East Anglia to stage the event at the Forum on March 23.
The panel, chaired by BBC Look East political correspondent Andrew Sinclair, includes voices from across the political and business spectrum.
Norwich North Conservative MP Chloe Smith will appear alongside Labour's East of England MEP Alex Mayer, while National Farmers' Union Norfolk chairman Tony Bambridge, FSB policy director Martin McTague and the UEA's Prof Hussein Kassim will complete the panel.
You may also want to watch:
Among the topics under discussion will be future trading arrangements, the skills challenge, and access to funding for businesses.
The event coincides with the next European Council meeting, at which the bloc's leaders are expected to consider the transitional arrangements that will be implemented following the UK's departure from the EU in March 2019.

David Howell, FSB East Anglia area lead, said: 'Small businesses tell us that they need more clarity on the ways in which Brexit could affect them so that they can better plan for the future.
'We also want our influential panellists to hear directly from the local business community on what they see as the opportunities and challenges arising from this process.'
Mark Shields, Archant's business editor in Norfolk and Suffolk, said: 'The implications of the Brexit negotiations have been well rehearsed at a national level, but this will be a chance for small businesses in Norfolk and Suffolk to have their say – to explain to politicians what they are going through, what they want to see, and to find out more about what the process might mean for their futures.'

Flash floods in Centurion and Mamelodi resulted in evacuations of people’s homes, offices and even a hotel, while the body of a Hartbeespoort man was recovered after his car was swept away. Social media has been inundated with photos and videos of waterlogged cars, flooded houses, and of good samaritans rescuing people stranded in rivers that were roads a few minutes before.
According to the South African Weather Service, this is as a result of a surface high-pressure system that pushed south-west Indian Ocean moisture into the eastern, northern and central parts of the country. An upper trough was responsible for drawing tropical moisture from Angola into the central and north-eastern parts of South Africa, causing the unseasonably high levels of rain.
The tropical weather system is expected to start clearing up this week, but there is still more rain to come as the present weather system is replaced by another. South Africans can breathe a sigh of relief, however, as the new weather system is not expected to bring quite the same volumes of rain.
The country is no stranger to extreme weather conditions. Whether its wind, rain, cold or hot, there are a number of areas that are well known for the extremes they experience. Surprisingly, the Eastern Cape holds the record for the coldest and hottest day as well as the windiest place in South Africa.
While there have been a number of photos of people cooking eggs on the bonnets of their cars in Uppington over the years, the hottest place in South Africa is Letaba in Limpopo Province. Letaba has a mean annual temperature of 23.3 ºC and an average annual maximum temperature of 35.0 ºC. However, the hottest day measured in the country was 50.0 ºC in a small place called Dunbrody, which is located in the Sundays River Valley, outside Port Elizabeth.
That still falls far short of the highest worldwide temperature, recorded in AlAziziya, Libya, measuring 57.7 ºC. Unsurprisingly, our coldest temperatures also don’t come close to international extremes. The lowest worldwide temperature was recorded in Vostok, Antarctica, at -89.2 ºC.
In South Africa, the coldest day was recorded at Buffelsfontein near Molteno in the Eastern Cape measuring -18.6 ºC. The coldest place in in the country is Buffelsfontein, with a mean annual temperature of 11.3 ºC and an average annual minimum temperature of 2.8 ºC.
The current rainy weather is well on its way to setting records, but until now the highest monthly rainfall measured in the country was at Matiwa in the Limpopo Province (1510 mm measured in January 1958). The highest worldwide 24 hour rainfall was measured at Fac Fac, Reunion Island (1825 mm) and in South Africa at St Lucia in KwaZulu-Natal (597 mm measured on 31 January 1984). This was rainfall associated with the passage of tropical cyclone Domoina, according to the SA Weather Service. The highest ever rainfall in one year was measured at Jonkershoek in the Western Cape (3874 mm in 1950).
And, while Port Elizabeth is known as the Windy City, the windiest spot in South Africa is actually Cape Point which experiences only 2% of all hours in the year with calm conditions. The average wind speed is 6.9 m/s with 42.1% of the wind speeds greater than 8 m/s. The strongest wind gust ever in South Africa occurred at Beaufort West on 16 May 1984 and measured 186 km/h.
Unfortunately, as the planet’s climate continues to change, it is highly likely that these kinds of extremes will become more common across the world. The past few weeks’ worth of torrential downpours could well become a seasonal reality as weather patterns change as a result of global warming.

The use of automated face recognition in law enforcement is not a binary discussion point. Yet, the political leaders of San Francisco have turned it into just that with recent legislation that bans local government agencies use of the technology. In turn, the safety of their citizens is being put at risk without any rational justification.
How law enforcement uses face recognition
At the core of the issue is a misunderstanding regarding how face recognition technology is used in law enforcement.
Heavy-handed authoritarian regimes in China, Russia, and elsewhere may seek to use face recognition as a surveillance tool that would suppress the same civil liberties guaranteed to United States citizens by the constitution. However, in the U.S. the overwhelming majority use of face recognition technology by law enforcement is as a forensic identification tool used to help identify perpetrators of violent and harmful crimes.
When used properly, face recognition technology is one of the most powerful tools available in today’s law enforcement investigations. For example, if someone robbed a bank, and their face was captured on camera, trained facial examiners using face recognition technology could search a surveillance video frame against a database of mugshot arrest photos in order to generate an investigative lead. Or, as happened recently, a high quality face image was captured of a person in an elevator moments before he broke into a young woman’s apartment and assaulted her. Or, when police collect child pornagraphy evidence, face recognition technology is used to identify and rescue the victims, as well as identify any perpetrators in the imagery. There are thousands of other cases over the years where grotesque or systematic crimes have occurred and face recognition was invaluable tool for identifying the culprit.
As a frame of reference, here are the 2017 Crime Statistics in the City of San Francisco:
- Population: 881,255
- Cases of Violent Crime: 6,301
- Cases of Murder: 56
- Cases of Rape: 367
- Cases of Robbery: 3,220
- Cases of Aggravated Assault: 2,658
- Cases of Property Crime: 54,356
- Cases of Burglary: 4,935
- Case of Larceny-Theft: 44,587
- Cases of Motor Vehicle Theft: 4,834
Unfortunately, due to a blanket overreaction by government leaders, face recognition technology cannot be used when investigating any of these harmful crimes in San Francisco, even if a high quality face image of a perpetrator is available.
The Board of Supervisors in San Francisco do not seem to understand these clearly positive and potentially life-saving uses. As the bill states:
The propensity for facial recognition technology to endanger civil rights and civil liberties substantially outweighs its purported benefits
That is, they believe their law enforcement officers are more likely to use face recognition technology to violate the constitution than to help the lives of their citizens. This is despite the sworn oath every officer takes to uphold the constitution and lack of precedence of face recognition misuse. Why does San Francisco even have law enforcement agencies if they cannot be trusted to protect and uphold constitutional rights?
Face recognition is an accurate identification method
As stated in the bill, there is a belief that face recognition is an inaccurate technology. Aside from the obvious contradiction that it cannot both be inaccurate and also used to track, surveil, and oppress citizens, automated face recognition technology is often more accurate than humans.
Automated face recognition accuracy is also improving at staggering rates. Over the last several years there has been over a 1,000x reduction in error rates by face recognition algorithms. And, despite these tremendous improvements, several years ago automated face recognition was already an invaluable law enforcement tool.
With over a decade of use in policing in the U.S., there have been zero documented cases of automated face recognition technology resulting in wrongful arrests. One reason is that face recognition search results are not probable cause for arrest. Another is that law enforcement agencies do not use face recognition as a purely automated technology; human analysts examine the search results in forensic identification. And there are generally strict standards and guidelines followed by law enforcement officials.
There are inaccuracies in every form of identification technology, whether it is latent fingerprint analysis, DNA, ballistic identification, witness testimony, or the countless other tools used in law enforcement investigations. The key is to understand the limits of the technology, and employ workflows that are informed by the strengths and weaknesses of various identification methods. This is already the case with automated face recognition as extensive guidelines exist for proper usage.
Factors that influence face recognition accuracy
There is a belief that face recognition algorithms are “racist” and “sexist”. This is misleading and amplified by non-scientific research articles that generate inaccurate media headlines.
While the accuracy of face recognition can vary due to race, different algorithms and camera types influence accuracy more than race (or skin phenotype). Differences in the angle of the face relative to the camera also have a stronger influence on accuracy, as do many other environmental factors. Face recognition accuracy has been shown to be lower for women than men, but this clearly seems due to the cultural use of makeup.
Biases in the way humans recognize faces
While there are various biases in face recognition algorithms, humans are unfortunately rather terrible at face recognition when they lack familiarity with the person they are viewing. Humans are also quite poor at recognizing persons of races other than their own.
The cognitive limitations of human facial identification have resulted in a wide number of false arrests and convictions due to mistaken witness testimony. The issue is so bad that in roughly 70% of DNA exonerations, eyewitness testimony was one of the pieces of evidence that resulted in the false conviction.
The importance of facial identification
Our facial appearance is arguably the single most public piece of information about us. We will hesitate to provide our name to a stranger when asked, but we will readily let everyone in public view our face. Socially progressive countries such as France and Denmark have even banned the concealment of one’s face when in public.
While the linking of our facial appearance to other personal information needs to be regulated, our facial appearance is the first piece of information provided in nearly every public engagement we have. We simply cannot conceal our face and have acceptance in society.
This is not by mistake either. Facial identification is so important to the human race that we have evolved an entire region of our brain dedicated to the task.
Being misinformed is not an excuse
Face recognition has demonstrated clear benefits in enabling law enforcement to solve thousands of serious crimes over the last decade without a single example of an innocent person being falsely arrested due to a misidentification. This is an astounding improvement over the legacy method of eyewitness identification.
The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco seem to be unaware of these law enforcement use cases, and have instead determined that the propensity for facial recognition to endanger civil rights and civil liberties (which would already be constitutional violations) substantially outweighs its purported benefits.
The bipartisan legislation recently proposed in the U.S. Senate is a great example of an effective approach to regulating face recognition technology. While there are a few areas where the bill needs stronger regulations and restrictions, as we will highlight in a forthcoming article, it is crafted in a manner that will limit the technology’s use for harmful purposes while still allowing all the overwhelmingly positive uses.
Being misinformed is not an excuse for endangering citizens, and the San Francisco city lawmakers need to properly justify their decisions. It is hoped that this article can serve as a rational discussion point moving forward amid misinformation that has now confused a growing number of elected officials.

If you have fond recollections of the sitcom "The Golden Girls," Gamut Theatre will be offering a staged reading on July 29 - with a twist.
The "Golden Boiz" performance is presented in conjunction with the Central PA Pride Festival, and will feature four gay men in the roles of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia - the four older women who shared a home in the series.
"I thought it would speak to a lot of people, and it would give people an event after Pride that wasn't a bar or going out right away," said Matthew Golden, one of the performers and event organizers. "And it was a way for local theaters to get involved in Pride, which hasn't been seen at a high level over the last few years."
Golden added that "The Golden Girls" was one of the first times that many in the LGBT community saw a non-traditional family on screen.
"Friends were their family," he said about the characters on the show. "For gay men of that era, and even today, their friends are more of their family than their actual family are."
The evening will also feature performances by local drag artists Maxwell Treats and Felicia O'Toole. Guests are welcome to come before the show beings to participate in games and prize drawings.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., but the bar of the theater opens at 6 p.m. Admission for "Golden Boiz" comes with any size donation, and proceeds from the event benefit the LGBT Center of Central PA.

Have you tried this combo?? There's only one way to know for sure.

John Atkinson’s measurements of the SLP-05 were very different than the published numbers for gain and output impedance. For output impedance he measured...
...1500–1600 ohms in the midrange and treble, rising to 3400 ohms at 20Hz [unbalanced], with similar if slightly lower figures for the balanced output.And he measured gains that were much lower than the numbers that are presently specified, and that also differed from the lower numbers that were specified when the review was written in 2006. Per his comments tube selection may have contributed to the gain discrepancies that were noted when the review was written.
In themselves none of these things should matter with the Krell amps that have been mentioned, given their very high 100K unbalanced and 200K balanced input impedances, and their moderate specified gains of about 25.5 db. However after noting some oddities in the measurements JA concluded by saying:
Though it has some anomalies, such as being happier with 10k ohm loads than with 100k ohms, the Cary SLP 05 offers respectable measured performance from its unbalanced jacks. I was a little disappointed with its behavior in balanced mode, however.Good luck. Regards,
Al, I got the Cary specifications directly from their site. You’d think they could provide reliable information on standard measurements that are easy to verify. This doesn’t help potential buyers interested in their products. How hard can it be to simply provide accurate information? On a positive note despite their quirky measurements they do get near universal praise from happy oweners.
Yes, it is puzzling how a component could be spec’d so inaccurately, especially one that is so highly regarded and was designed and originally spec’d while the company’s very highly regarded former designer was still there. Those original specs, BTW, included the same 400 ohm output impedance number that is still published, as you correctly indicated.
One point I would add for the OP is that if he does go with the SLP-05 the high output impedance at all frequencies will tend to magnify certain interconnect cable effects. So it would be preferable to avoid particularly long lengths of interconnect cabling between it and the power amp, especially if the particular cables do not have low capacitance per unit length. The interaction of the high output impedance at high frequencies with high cable capacitance would tend to introduce at least a slight amount of rolloff and/or undesirable phase shifts in the upper treble region. And that would apply regardless of whether balanced or unbalanced interconnections are used, since the two output impedances were described by JA as being similar. Something like 15 feet of cable having 35 pf/foot capacitance (525 pf total capacitance) should be ok though, at least as far as that effect is concerned.

The year 1996 was the last year that AMA Supercross passed through Denver. Twenty-three years. That’s over two decades since Colorado’s famed Broncos Stadium at Mile High last felt the adrenaline of a gate drop, the vibrations of two wheels hitting the dirt, the euphoria of a checkered flag flying. But, at long last, that finally changed a couple of weekends ago when Supercross returned to the Mile High City. The world’s highest-caliber professional riders took to the track Saturday, April 13th for round 15 of the 2019 Supercross season… and a day later, top amateur riders were welcomed to follow their idols’ tracks to race on the same stage for the first time ever! The opportunity was made possible by a new series of races this year, the AMA Supercross Futures. Denver was round 7 of the 8 round series created with intentions of unleashing the promising young talent in our sport onto prime supercross tracks around the country. Those in attendance had the chance to be part of and bear witness to some of the most heated battles we’ve seen in a while, but in case you missed it, here’s a recap:
250 SX Futures
If there was one class to give your undivided attention to, it was this one. The 250 SX Futures is the sole gateway into Monster Energy Supercross for the next generation of professional riders. With that said, the line up was stacked with top-tier talent itching to earn the required points necessary to make their pro supercross debut in the near future. The qualifying heats were back and forth battles til the end, but the main event had one clear winner: Zane Merrett. The #29 pulled one of the most dominant holeshots of the entire weekend and went on to be absolutely untouchable for the remainder of the race. Colton Eigenmann would finish second behind Merrett and Coty Schock would round out the podium with a third place finish.
Supermini 1 & 2
There are not many things in this world that are better than hearing the sweet, sweet sound of a full gate of angry bumblebees ready for battle… except for the actual battles that went down in the stadium during these two fast classes — those were better. All day long, names like Maximus Vohland, Talon Hawkins, Gage Wilcox, Logan Lessar, and Jaxon Pascal were thrown around left, right, and center. Every single one of them was on fire. In the Supermini 1 main event, Vohland and Hawkins ran a close race. And by close, we mean ‘ laptimes within the same couple tenths of a second the entire race’ close. The two rode extremely consistent rides, with Vohland finishing on the top step, Hawkins following, and Wilcox landing third. Our very own Colorado grown riders, Jaxon Pascal and Logan Lessar, would go on to round out the top five in the class and we couldn’t be prouder! The Supermini 2 main provided some more edge-of your-seat racing. Vohland started off the race in front again, but Hawkins was still right there to bring the heat and put on the pressure. It was looking like Vohland would come out with yet another main event win, but a fall in the last corner with just two laps to go would end his chances. Hawkins capitalized on the mistake and brought his #71 ride across the checkered to earn the W. Vohland would roll in behind him, and Wilcox would finish with another respectable third.
The 250 B class is no joke. Anytime these riders take to the track, you best prepare yourself for some major speed and major grit. When the gate finally dropped for the main, Colorado ripper, Bronson McClure, lead the pack. He wasn’t able to hold onto it, however, as he went down in the left hander out of the whoops after David Dabin came in hot to make a pass within the first lap. The position switch-ups wouldn’t stop there, either. Bjorn Viney made quick work of the rest of the field to make his way to the lead before the second lap was even completed. Impressively, Kaeden Amerine and Wristin Grigg would do the same and work their way to second and third. David Dabin finished fourth and another Colorado rider, Jaylend Mccarty, would earn the final spot in the top five.
Imagine being a 50cc rider at this race. Your dad pushing your bike up to the gate, while you’re looking up at the towering walls, thousands of seats, and hundreds of people surrounding you in the huge stadium that all of your Supercross heroes raced on the night before. There’s no way that any of the youngsters on that gate understood the significance or sheer magnitude of the opportunity to put their tires in the dirt on such an iconic stage. But, hopefully, someday they’ll look back on it and they will. Henry buck Karvasek was a little ripper to watch all day. Not only did he place first in the class, he was also one of the only 50cc riders to send the finish line gap. Sounds mighty impressive, right? It was. Gage Dunham ended up second and Christopher Harris rounded out the top three.
The 2019 Supercross Futures round seven in Denver was a whirlwind, in the best possible way. Having the opportunity to race in a prestigious setting such as the Broncos Stadium is something few probably even imagined possible. But it’s been done now. And we’re sure glad about it! Watching the Futures has us stoked for what the future of Supercross will be for the upcoming generations! Until next time… here comes the checkered flag on this one!


Top 5 area-round football games to watch in West Texas
1. Ballinger vs. Spearman
7 p.m. Friday
Tyer Stadium, Floydada
No. 10-ranked Ballinger is having its best season in 13 years, but the Bearcats' second-round opponent is a formidable one in No. 5 Spearman. Each team brings a 10-1 record into the matchup. Ballinger's only loss was to Llano (34-0), which is ranked No. 7 in Class 3A Division II. Spearman's only loss was a forfeit victory against No. 1 Canadian due to COVID-19. Ballinger won its first playoff game since 2007 last week when Odessa Compass Academy forfeited. The district-champion Bearcats would have been a heavy favorite over fourth-place Compass had they played. Spearman, meanwhile, is coming off a 63-34 shootout win over Lubbock Roosevelt last week. The Lynx could give Ballinger trouble with their high-powered offense that has helped them outscore teams by an average score of 53-17. Ballinger's defense, led by first-team all-state lineman Adam Winn, has allowed only 9.5 points per game, but the one team the Bearcats struggled against — Llano — beat them through the air. That could be a blueprint for the Lynx, who have shown they can score points in the passing game and on the ground. Controlling the tempo and the ball will be critical for the Bearcats on offense, while fundamental tackling will be necessary against Spearman's spread offense. The Lynx were vulnerable on defense last week in allowing four rushing TDs and one passing TD. The 34 points were the most they've given up all season. The winner advances to the regional semifinals, where it will face either Crane or Childress.
The pick: Ballinger 22, Spearman 21
2. Sterling City vs. Rankin
6:30 p.m. Friday
Bird Memorial Stadium, Big Lake
This Class 1A Division I area-round game is a rematch of last year’s 86-60 win by Rankin in the first round of the playoffs. It avenged the Red Devils’ earlier loss to Sterling City (74-66) in regular-season play and helped vault Rankin into the state semifinals. Returning a lot of talent off that 2019 team, Rankin started the season with a No. 1 state ranking. Now, Sterling City (11-0) is ranked No. 1 while the Red Devils (10-1) are No. 5. The Eagles started at No. 4 and beat four teams ranked No. 6 or better to rise to No. 1. The Eagles are coming off a 61-12 win over Hermleigh in the first round. It snapped a streak of four seasons without a playoff win for the program, which last won a playoff game in 2015 under coach Bret Tyler. It was coincidentally against Rankin. If the Eagles can get past the second round, it will be the farthest they have advanced in the playoffs since making the Division II state semifinals in 2011. The Red Devils are coming off a forfeit win over Van Horn and have not played since a 50-0 win over Garden City for the district title. Their only loss was 40-34 over Borden County, the team the Red Devils beat to advance to the state semis last year. It’s also another of two common opponents for Rankin and Sterling City. The Eagles beat Garden City 74-28 to open the season and beat Borden County 62-58. The winner advances to face Garden City or Westbrook in the regional round.
The pick: Sterling City 48, Rankin 32
3. Water Valley vs. Leakey
7 p.m. Friday
Lion Stadium, Ozona
The Class 1A Division I area-round game is another matchup of Top 10 teams. The Water Valley Wildcats (6-2) are ranked No. 10, while the Leakey Eagles (10-1) are No. 8. The Wildcats are coming off a convincing 54-8 win over Baird to open the playoffs. It was Water Valley’s first playoff win since 2013 and its first playoff appearance since 2017. The Eagles beat Lometa 79-30 last week to advance after being bounced from the playoffs in the first round last year. The Eagles were state semifinalists in 2018. Water Valley is on a six-game winning streak after starting the season late due to COVID-19 cancelations. They earned impressive wins over Highland and Irion County and dethroned two-time defending district champ Eden. Their formula on offense has been simple — pave the way for running back Canon Wiese. Leakey has beaten Eden, scored 97 points in a loss to No. 5 Rankin and has won the last seven games. Leakey is favored by 10 points, according to sixmanfootball.com. The winner of this game advances to play No. 4 May or No. 12 Jonesboro in the regional round.
The pick: Leakey 48, Water Valley 32
4. Christoval vs. Bruni
7 p.m. Friday
Bulldog Stadium, Somerset
Because of COVID-19, but not forfeits, the No. 7 Christoval Cougars have played four more games than the Bruni Badgers going into this Class 2A Division II game. Bruni was in a district that opted to eliminate all nondistrict games and spread out their district schedule to ensure all games could be played. Christoval faced its first cancelation, either for itself or its opponent, when Burton forfeited the bidistrict game to the Cougars. Now the Cougars have a chance to advance to the third round of the 11-man playoffs for the first time in program history. Bruni comes off a 34-19 win over Runge in bidistrict and is on a three-game winning streak since losing two district games (La Pryor, D'Hanis). Christoval is on a nine-game winning streak (10, counting the forfeit) after opening the season with a road loss to then-No. 5 Wink. Christoval averages 43 points per game and gives up an average of 14. Other than the loss to Wink, the Cougars have not allowed more than 20 points to an opponent the rest of the way. Bruni averages 36 points while giving up 25. The Cougars are more balanced offensively, averaging 250 rushing yards and 177 passing, while the Badgers average 315 on the ground and just 82 through the air. The winner meets either Snook or Yorktown in the regional semifinals.
The pick: Christoval 27, Bruni 14
5. Wall vs. Bushland
7 p.m. Friday
Tiger Stadium, Snyder
This Class 3A Division I area-round game is a rematch of a playoff game from 2018, when the Hawks beat Bushland 21-14 in this same round. Bushland, which is about 15 miles west of Amarillo, and Wall don't meet all that often on the field. The Hawks own a 3-0 advantage over the Falcons. Wall (8-3) is coming off a 20-14 overtime win against Boyd in bidistrict. The Hawks' defense made a goal-line stand in the final minutes of regulation after Boyd reached the 2-yard line. After another defensive stop, Wall's Gabe Haskins threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Chase Rios to win the game. Bushland (8-2) beat Slaton 70-14 in its playoff opener. The winner will play either Shallowater or Pilot Point in the regional round. The Falcons have outscored their opponents 41-19, while the Hawks own a 26-14 advantage. Wall has advanced to the third round of the playoffs every year since 2012. Bushland is also a regular in the third round of the playoffs, except for 2018 when its season was ended by Wall.
The pick: Bushland 21, Wall 20

The legal battle between the city of Manhattan Beach and its former city manager is over.
The city council voted unanimously in closed session Tuesday night to approve a settlement agreement with Geoff Dolan, who will pay $38,800 for attorney fees and drop his appeal of a motion the city won against him.
Dolan, who abruptly left the city in 2009 after serving 15 years at its helm, filed a $2 million claim and subsequent lawsuit last year, claiming breach of contract, invasion of privacy and other causes of action.
His lawsuit stemmed from the release of a disparaging anonymous letter by the city’s former city attorney – who was later terminated – alleging drunk, inappropriate actions by Dolan at an offsite retreat. The city attorney was defending the city in a lawsuit brought on in 2010 by a government watchdog who claimed the city left residents in the dark when Dolan separated from the city without an explanation.
The city filed an anti-SLAPP motion earlier this year, requesting the court dismiss Dolan’s suit because the city’s actions in responding to the public records request for information, as well as the disclosures in the watchdog litigation, were protected speech. California’s anti-SLAPP laws serve to expedite the dismissal of lawsuits that arise from protected speech in connection with a public issue and that lack merit, according to the city.
In March 2012, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Susan Bryant-Deason granted the city’s anti-SLAPP motion, dismissing the lawsuit filed by Dolan and granting the city’s motion for $45,187 in fees and costs.
Dolan’s attorney, Pat Barrera, immediately filed an appeal.
“I do think the judge made a mistake,” Barrera said earlier this year of Bryant-Deason’s decision. “She is a good judge, but she was in the middle of a very busy jury trial and knew she was keeping a jury waiting. She didn’t give us a lot of time to argue. I think if she had given us more time, we could have persuaded her to deny the motion.”
City Attorney Quinn Barrow said Tuesday night that the litigation had cost the city an estimated $90,000.
Barrow said three factors influenced the decision to bring the litigation to an end: “First, without any further cost and expense, the city will recoup $38,800 of the $45,186.99 awarded to the city. Collection of the judgment would otherwise have been costly as the city was forced to pursue collection in two states, California and Colorado, where Mr. Dolan currently lives. Second, this agreement avoids the cost and risk of defending the city’s victory on appeal. The cost of appeal was estimated at $50,000. Finally, and importantly, this agreement brings immediate closure to the litigation and allows the city, its residents and city staff to move forward.”
Barrera said an appeal would have lasted another year or two, and if successful, the case would have been set for a trial that would have dragged on for an additional year or more.
“The parties agreed that it was time to end the fighting,” Barrera said. “Geoff has moved on with his life in Colorado and decided the time was right to settle this case and put the past behind him. The lawsuit could not remedy the harm caused by the city’s disclosure of personnel records deemed confidential by the separation agreement drafted by the city.”
Barrera said the parties agreed that Dolan would pay a reduced amount of attorney fees and would retain other benefits and rights as a former city employee.
“Geoff looks back fondly on his 15 years serving the city and will always love Manhattan Beach,” he said.
City Manager Dave Carmany said in a statement Tuesday night that the circumstances surrounding Dolan’s departure have had a great impact not only on the city council and city staff but also on the community.
“We are all relieved to put this issue to rest and focus on the important issues facing this community,” he said.

So… Honestly, I do not remember when I posted something last time. I suppose that’s been ages, and I miss this period in my life when I could write more and more often. I was convinced my life in USA will be boring and calm. I was so much wrong. I’m barely able to find while for crafts, but I do anyway.
I was making this brooch whole week. That’s just because I had one or two hours per day for myself.
I wanted to make a set of earrings, but somewhere on the way I realized this is too big for earning. So my earrings became a brooch. I could make a bracelet or necklace, but I didn’t feel like. Laziness, I call it laziness. And I made one necklace lately. Pretty enough for some time.
Hopefully I can post more things soon. We’ll see… (:

SaveLIFE Foundation, in collaboration with the Transport Department,
Government of Uttar Pradesh organized an expert consultation on 10 th
February 2021 on two crucial road safety provisions under the Motor Vehicles
(Amendment) Act, 2019 providing the rulemaking power to the State
Government at Transport Department Office in Lucknow.
The consultation with high-level experts and stakeholders looked into standards
for road design, construction & maintenance, regulation and access of non-
motorized transport with a view to improve road safety and reduce road
crashes in Uttar Pradesh.
The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act under Section 198A holds road
contractors and concessionaires accountable for faulty road design and non-
maintenance of roads leading to deaths & disability. Section 210 D gives the
power to the State Government to make rules for design, construction and
maintenance standards for roads under its jurisdiction. Infrastructural flaws
such as potholes, on-going road works/ under construction sites have
contributed to 2,892 deaths in Uttar Pradesh in 2019 alone.The creation of such
a rule will ensure an accountability framework besides improving the quality of
Further, Section 138 (1A) of MVAA’19 gives the power to State Governments to
regulate the activities of pedestrians and non-motorized road users in a public
place. In 2019, 4,676 pedestrians and NMT users lost their lives due to road
crashes in Uttar Pradesh. Regulation of activities in a public place of
pedestrians and non-motorized road users could include the creation of special
zones such as cycle tracks and footpaths, NMT lanes etc., which could all be
interpreted as regulation of such activities.
The event was chaired by Shri Awanish Kumar Awasthi – Additional Chief
Secretary Home & CEO UPEIDA and was also attended by Shri Rajesh Kumar
Singh- Principal Secretary Transport Department, Shri Dheeraj Sahu –
Transport Commissioner, ADG Traffic- Ashok Kumar Singh and Ms. Khyati
Ghosh-DCP Traffic, and other officials from the PWD Department. Professors
from IIT Kanpur & Roorkee, officials from NACTO and World Bank also
participated in the event and offered their suggestions on the draft rules. As a
next step, the State Government is planning on holding a wrap up meeting with
stakeholders to finalize the draft notifications with regard to the two provisions.
