Sevenoaks Panto Teams Up With A Trio of Top Local Charities
In 2022, Sevenoaks Panto will be supporting three local charities; Sevenoaks Larder, The Hygiene Bank and Friends 4 Families.
This year is proving to be a tough one for many families, and local people often rely on support from these three amazing organisations.
The cast of this year’s panto at the Stag Sevenoaks will be helping all three charities to raise funds, as well as raising awareness of the work they do to help local children, families and individuals through challenging circumstances.
Shona Campbell said “Friends For Families supports disadvantaged families living in this area. We offer direct, practical help to children and their parents, such as providing basic furniture, clothes and shoes. We are so excited that they've chosen to adopt us, along with Sevenoaks Larder and the Hygiene Bank, for the 2022 season, and we can't wait to work with these generous, funny, creative people again”
Nicole Beesley said “The Hygiene Bank is a people-powered charity and social movement, grounded in community. We believe that hygiene is not a privilege and by bringing communities, businesses and influencers together we can tackle hygiene poverty by giving people access to products and being a voice for change. We are absolutely delighted to receive the support of the pantomime this year and hope that it will help us to achieve this goal”
Claire Ritchie said “Sevenoaks Larder gives food support to those who are struggling to afford to feed their household, with a wide range of fresh & healthy options, chosen by the client. We are thrilled to be one of the charities chosen by the Sevenoaks Panto team this year, & we are very grateful to them for their support"

The origin of kopi luwak is closely connected with the history of coffee production in Indonesia. In the early 18th century the Dutch established the cash-crop coffee plantations in their colony in the Dutch East Indies islands of Java and Sumatra, including Arabica coffee introduced from Yemen.
During the era of Cultuurstelsel, the Dutch prohibited the native farmers and plantation workers from picking coffee fruits for their own use. Still, the native farmers wanted to have a taste of the famed coffee beverage. Soon, the natives learned that certain species of musang or luwak (Asian palm civet) consumed the coffee fruits, yet they left the coffee seeds undigested in their droppings. The natives collected these luwaks’ coffee seed droppings, then cleaned, roasted and ground them to make their own coffee beverage. The fame of aromatic civet coffee spread from locals to Dutch plantation owners and soon became their favourite, yet because of its rarity and unusual process, the civet coffee was expensive even during the colonial era.

Traveling on the highway on a stretch of two or three lanes makes all the difference in the world when it comes to practicality. In fact, on more “wide” motorways, it will be less likely to come across intense traffic and delays due to this factor. Furthermore, driving comfort will certainly be greater than on motorways with only two lanes. But what’s new in the coming months? Here’s which highway will go from two to three lanes soon.
In our country the motorway network has over 6500 kilometres. Unfortunately, however, more than 4000 kilometers are still only two lanes away. There are 1,800 kilometers with three lanes, while there are only 115 kilometers with four lanes. Numbers that make many turn up their noses.
The three and four lanes have the merit of improving the smoothness on the highways. As we have said, however, there are not many motorway sections that can benefit from at least a third lane. Especially in the South, the highways are mainly two-lane, with all the obvious limitations and inconveniences of the case, especially during the days with a large presence of cars and trucks on the road.
Moreover, our motorway network is often subject to maintenance and long periods of work. In some sections, therefore, the risk of running into a single lane of brands for several kilometers is always very high. These situations create inconvenience and waste of time for millions of Italian motorists every day.
But what wonderful news has arrived in the last few hours? Where will the third lane be made? Here’s everything you need to know about this news that will please millions of motorists.
Here is the third lane on a specific motorway in our country: a gift for many Italians
The news concerning the widening of the motorway refers to the A22that means the Brenner motorway. It was founded way back in 1968 and connects the Po Valley with Austria and Germany. It starts from Modena, intersecting with the A1, and reaches as far as Vipiteno and the Brenner customs house. But what will happen in the near future? Here are all the details.
There Autostrada del Brennero Spa company, controlled by some public bodies, it was approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to unblock a situation that will please many. This section of the motorway will have a third lane, or at least there will be a large part of the more than 300 km of jurisdiction. The news has become public knowledge in the past few hours.
The plan for this third lane includes a very important total investment of over 7.2 billion euros. The stretch included between Verona North and Bolzano South will get the green light for the so-called “dynamic lane”. In practice, the current hard shoulder will be used as a third lane during periods of heavy traffic, such as in the summer or on holiday weekends.
In some periods of the year, therefore, the widened hard shoulder can be used as an effective third lane. Special road signs will inform motorists about this possible use.
But that’s not all. The plan doesn’t just have this third lane usable at certain times of the year. A real third lane will also be built in the section between Verona and Modena.
Lastly, the investments for the Brenner motorway will also concern other options. We refer to the installation of columns for recharging electric vehicles, the improvement of all existing motorway toll booths and some extraordinary maintenance interventions to digitize the entire section.

The article notes the crime occurred just after the guestleave the wedding.
Thearticle notes the two to have a deviant behaviour other than what thesociety might expect. On their wedding day, the two were notcomfortable as they would not speak to one another. However, in asfar as they were not talking no one could contemplate a case ofsuicide occurring.

2Thestory notes a four year old young preschooler who brings two hundredand forty nine packets of heroin to the day care school. The teachersin the school find the children with the packets and call the policeas one of the child passes out.

Feds:That`s no dwarf, that`s a criminal
3Inthis case, police arrest a man who is claimed to be a dwarf forselling the growth hormone to people. The crime notes that he wouldsell the drug to several individuals and most of the people whom hesold the drugs to were undercover investigators. The prosecution saiddwarf man is not a dwarf as per say since he has a height of six footand three inches with four hundred and fifty pounds. He is said tohave sold the drugs of a value about five hundred and thirty fivethousand dollars. The article also notes he would sell the drugthough a craigslist advertisement.
Opitz,the man in question, is said to have begun selling of the drugs afterhe felt his monthly income was not enough to satisfy him. His was aquest to make more money which led him to deviate to his criminalactivity.
MassMedia and Crime
Themass media has been quite effective on its role of showing thecriminal activities in the society just as they are in their variousforms. In the case of NBC TV, there are at least ten hours spent onvarious programs in showing the criminal activities and themysterious situations when they occur. While in some station such asABC the level of depicting crime takes about twelve. The criminalactivities are depicted in a variety of forms through the news portaland creation of movies that depicting the criminal activities. In asfar as they do not depict crime as a deviance, there are someinstances when they show that most of these individuals who commitscrimes to have a different understanding of the true order of nature.However, they also make known that possessing such a trait is bad andthat good will always prevail.

Despite historically low tax burden, Rove, Fox & Friends push myth that America is "overtaxed"
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Blaming President Obama's policies, Karl Rove and Fox & Friends highlighted a Rasmussen poll finding that 66 percent of respondents believe America is "overtaxed." In doing so, Rove and Fox & Friends completely obscured the fact the vast majority of Americans paid lower federal taxes this year as a result of Obama's policies; moreover, the Rasmussen poll they cited also found that most respondents overestimate the tax rate paid by the average American.
Mythmaking: Rove, Fox & Friends blame Obama for Americans feeling "overtaxed"
Rove: 66% believe the nation is over-taxed because "[u]nder President Barack Obama taxes are going up -- a lot." From Rove's April 15 Wall Street Journal column:
A recent Rasmussen survey reported that 66% of Americans believe the nation is over-taxed. There's a reason. Under President Barack Obama taxes are going up -- a lot.
House Ways and Means Committee Republicans have issued a summary of the 25 tax increases signed into law by Mr. Obama so far. They total $670 billion over the next 10 years, including 14 tax hikes (including an annual tax on every insurance policy and an annual tax on brand-name drugs) that break Mr. Obama's solemn 2008 campaign pledge never to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000 a year.
Kilmeade: "[W]hen people say wow, I feel overtaxed, they're pointing right to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." During the April 15 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade cited Rove and claimed that "there's been 25 tax increases since Barack Obama took office in 2008, so when people say wow, I feel overtaxed, they're pointing right to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue":
KILMEADE: Karl Rove writes today in the Wall Street Journal that yeah, that is true, 66 percent of Americans feel like they're overtaxed. However, so far the Republicans own this issue, not that they're the only ones who have supported taxes in the past. But right now it's Democrats that are just amping it up to the tune of $670 billion dollars. According to these statistics, there's been 25 tax increases since Barack Obama took office in 2008, so when people say wow, I feel overtaxed, they're pointing right to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Bolling: "Is it a surprise that only 66% think we're overtaxed?" On Fox & Friends, guest host Eric Bolling asked Fox Business analyst Stuart Varney, "Is it a surprise that only 66 percent think we're overtaxed?" Varney stated," Yes, it is, because people look at their paycheck and then they look at their take-home pay and they say, wait a minute, there's a difference between the two. I'm paying too much in tax. That's where it comes from. But I don't think people realize -- I don't think America realizes just how dependent we are on the so-called wealthy, the rich, to pay our bills."
In fact, Obama cut taxes for Americans this year
William Gale: "[T]axes are literally at their lowest in decades." CBS News reported on April 15 that "taxes are at their lowest levels in 60 years, according to William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center and director of the Retirement Security Project at the Brookings Institution." CBS News further reported:
"The relation between what is said in the tax debate and what is true about tax policy is often quite tenuous," Gale told Hotsheet. "The rise of the Tea Party at at time when taxes are literally at their lowest in decades is really hard to understand."
Bruce Bartlett: "[F]ederal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president." Bruce Bartlett, former adviser to President Reagan and Treasury Department economist under George H.W. Bush, wrote on March 19 that "federal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president. And given the economic circumstances, it's hard to imagine that a tax increase would have been enacted last year":
As noted earlier, federal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president. And given the economic circumstances, it's hard to imagine that a tax increase would have been enacted last year. In fact, 40% of Obama's stimulus package involved tax cuts. These include the Making Work Pay Credit, which reduces federal taxes for all taxpayers with incomes below $75,000 by between $400 and $800.
According to the JCT, last year's $787 billion stimulus bill, enacted with no Republican support, reduced federal taxes by almost $100 billion in 2009 and another $222 billion this year. The Tax Policy Center, a private research group, estimates that close to 90% of all taxpayers got a tax cut last year and almost 100% of those in the $50,000 income range. For those making between $40,000 and $50,000, the average tax cut was $472; for those making between $50,000 and $75,000, the tax cut averaged $522. No taxpayer anywhere in the country had his or her taxes increased as a consequence of Obama's policies.
AP: "You wouldn't know it by the Tax Day rhetoric, but Americans are paying lower taxes this year." The Associated Press reported on April 14, "You wouldn't know it by the Tax Day rhetoric, but Americans are paying lower taxes this year, even with increases passed by many states to balance their budgets." While noting that in future years, some taxes may increase for some Americans, the article said that "Tax Day rhetoric" does not match the reality of Americans' tax burdens today. From the article:
Congress cut individuals' federal taxes for this year by about $173 billion shortly after President Barack Obama took office, dwarfing the $28.6 billion in increases by states.
The massive economic recovery package enacted last year included about $300 billion in tax cuts over 10 years. About $232 billion was in cuts for individuals, nearly all in the first two years.
The most generous was Obama's Making Work Pay credit, which gives individuals up to $400 and couples up to $800 for 2009 and 2010. The $1,000 child tax credit was expanded to more families, and the working poor can qualify for as much as $5,657 from the Earned Income Tax Credit.
There were also credits for qualified families who buy new homes or make energy improvements to existing ones, as well as tax breaks to help pay college tuition or buy new cars.
CBS: "Poll Reveals Most Americans Don't Know They Got a Tax Cut." A February 5-10 New York Times/CBS News poll found that only 12 percent of respondents "think the Obama Administration has ... decreased taxes for most Americans." CBS wrote that "[o]f people who support the grassroots, 'Tea Party' movement, only 2 percent think taxes have been decreased, 46 percent say taxes are the same, and a whopping 44 percent say they believe taxes have gone up." Media Matters for America has noted that conservative media figures including Steve Moore of the Wall Street Journal, columnist S.E. Cupp and Fox Forum columnist Peter Roff have denied that Obama cut taxes.
Rasmussen poll found majority believe "average American" pays 30 percent or more of their income in taxes
The April 8-9 Rasmussen Reports poll cited by Rove and Fox & Friends found that 66 percent of respondents say that "[a]s a nation" America is "overtaxed." However, the poll also found that 55 percent of respondents believe that "the average American" pays 30 percent or more of their income in "all federal, state and local taxes." Eighty-one percent of respondents said the average American pays over 20 percent of their income in taxes.
But vast majority of Americans pay taxes at lower rates
Citizens for Tax Justice: Eighty percent of Americans paid a total effective tax rate of less than 30 percent. An analysis by Citizens for Tax Justice states that in 2009, the bottom 80 percent of income earners paid less than 30 percent of their income in total taxes, including all federal, state and local taxes:
Tax Policy Center: Eighty percent paid less than 20 percent of income in federal taxes in 2009. Tax Policy Center data states that the bottom 80 percent of income earners paid an average effective tax rate of less than 20 percent in 2009 for all federal taxes including individual income, payroll, corporate income and estate taxes. The top 20 percent of income earners paid 22.9 percent of their income in federal taxes in 2009. The Tax Policy Center provides the following chart:
Tax Policy Center: Middle income family paying near lowest federal income tax rate in decades. The Tax Policy Center states that the average federal income tax rate for four person families earning the median income is 4.6 percent for 2009, lower than for any other year listed (through 1955) except for 2008. For families earning twice the median income, the average federal income tax rate is 12.6 percent, lower than any point before 2002. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities provides the following chart based on this data:
Tax Policy Center: It's a "myth" that "Americans are overtaxed." Rosanne Altshuler and Roberton Williams of the Tax Policy Center wrote in an April 4 Washington Post op-ed that the claim that "Americans are overtaxed" is a "myth," noting that "we pay far less than people in other wealthy countries." Altshuler and Williams stated: "In 2006, taxes in 30 of the world's richest countries averaged 36 percent of GDP; only Mexico, Turkey, South Korea and Japan had tax rates lower than ours. And taxes in many European countries exceeded 40 percent of GDP because these nations offer more extensive government services than the United States does." By comparison, "[i]n 2007, federal, state and local taxes claimed about $3.8 trillion, or 27 percent of U.S. gross domestic product."

domain: literature


Parkville area man who has objected to the city’s action regarding lack of normal public notification of a recent public meeting took his complaint a step further when his attorney sent a letter to the Missouri Attorney General’s office.
The Oct. 11 letter asks the state attorney general to investigate what Jason Maki views as another violation of the state’s open meeting law, charging that the method in which the city notified the public of the meeting and the location kept citizens from knowing about and attending the meeting.
The letter, which is the eighth complaint filed by Maki and his attorneys to the attorney general, explains that city officials deviated from their normal means of notification on the city’s website, instead placing a paper sign inside city hall.
The complaint states that the meeting location, which deviated from the usual City Hall council chambers, also was designed to thwart public attendance.
The Aug. 16 “Strategic Planning Workshop” was held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16 at Platte Valley Bank in Parkville.
In addition to attorney general complaints, Maki said that he and his attorneys recently met with staff from the office of Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway.
The Missouri auditor, who acts as the state’s chief fiscal regulator, also is interested in exploring the city’s possible violations of the Sunshine Law, Maki said during a Tuesday afternoon telephone interview.
Maki said the state auditor’s office wants copied in all complaints filed with the attorney general about the City of Parkville’s activity.
Maki has said Citizens for a Better Parkville is giving the city a chance to voluntarily request a state audit, something Mayor Nan Johnston has in the past said she would welcome. If the city does not request the audit, Maki says an effort to acquire enough citizen signatures to force an audit will begin sometime in November.
Parkville City Administrator Joe Parente has said officials were compliant with law in advertising the planning meeting.
But Eddie Greim of Graves Garrett law firm in Kansas City, who drafted the letter to the attorney general, said the law clearly states meeting notices must be in a prominent place, easily accessible to the public and clearly designated for that purpose.
Greim also said the law states that if a body has a habit of posting meeting notices in certain places (such as Parkville’s use of the city’s website), the same place must be used, making departure of normal practice a violation of law.
Parente has said city leaders are only required to place a sign where the meeting is taking place.
Parente argued city officials held the meeting off-site because the atmosphere is more conducive to discussion without interruption. He further stated that no formal action was taken at the workshop and that initiatives discussed were formally adopted during a Sept. 17 meeting at City Hall.
Maki has said because the meeting was not held in council chambers, with access to video and audio recording, citizens must take the officials’ word about what occurred during the meeting. He has said previously that city actions regarding transparency make him reluctant to rely on the word of city officials.
Previous letters of complaint sent to the attorney general have focused on what Maki and his attorneys consider illegal practices by not releasing requested documents under the state’s Sunshine Law, designed to ensure government transparency.
Maki has requested access to communications between city officials in order to ensure meetings and communications were held in public forums and in compliance with state law. While Maki has received some city communications as requested, he and his attorneys argue the city continues to “hold hostage” other records vital to understanding the city’s actions leading up to the development and beyond. The city is holding the documents in lieu of several thousand dollars in payment.
Maki and his attorneys have said he has already made payments of several thousand dollars for records, said the amount requested violates state law since governmental bodies are only allowed to request nominal fees associated with copying documents.

A Florida teacher’s shirt has stirred controversy among some parents, as educators continue to grapple with the state’s new Parental Rights in Education law, informally known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
On Tuesday, a teacher at Tocoi Creek High School (whose identity has not been disclosed to the public) wore a shirt sporting the phrase “Protect Trans Kids,” prompting complaints from some district parents. A photo of the shirt was sent to principal Jay Willets along with a message “expressing concern,” a spokeswoman for the St. Johns County school district told The St. Augustine Record.
Following the outcry, Willets “immediately” spoke with the teacher and demanded the removal of the shirt, which they complied with. No further punishments were leveled against the teacher for the incident, which occurred two days before the Transgender Day of Visibility.
Recently signed into law by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, the much-discussed bill forbids the discussion of gender or sexual identity topics with students in the third grade or below and also forbids any such topics deemed “inappropriate” for all other grades. The latter clause has caused the most consternation amongst Florida educators, who worry that it was left too vague and could conceivably be used to police all discussion of LGBT issues. The bill also empowers parents to sue schools over lessons they feel are not appropriate.
The district also provided The St. Augustine Record with its code of conduct for employees. Beyond the issues surrounding the effects of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the district’s rules forbid teachers from wearing anything that displays “a written message of any kind, except for names, logos and slogans related to a District school, the District, or school or District related organizations, events or activities.”
The rules also prohibit employees from engaging in any activities deemed political in their professional capacities.
“Employees shall not wear apparel with a political logo (elephant, donkey, etc.),” the rules read, according to The St. Augustine Record. “However, employees shall have the right to participate in political activities in their individual capacity when they are not scheduled for duty and are not on District property or at a school-sponsored event or activity.”
Newsweek reached out to the high school for a comment on this story but did not hear back before publishing.
Disney, after it was initially criticized for its soft stance on the matter, has become a major corporate opponent of the bill. The company, which has a major economic presence in the state, withdrew all political donations in the state and pledged to support pro-LGBT initiatives across the U.S.
“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law,” a Disney spokesperson said on Monday. “We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”

Our world is not round? True, it`s a geoid. This illusion of our perfect planet is so perfect it hurts. Translated in our minds to a spheric shape, this illusion gives us the feeling of being very special creatures on a very special planet. And maybe we are special, in our own way. We have no comparison, yet. Alone in the middle of dust, radioactive waves and black holes, our problems seem so beyond reality and still they seem to exist. (I guess the Matrix theory is just too easy, right?) Space and time will remain a questionable illusion, sometimes pleasant, cosy and warm but also harsh and without any mercy. Where are we going? Why are we here? Would cosmic nihilism help to heal our wounds of being this lonely stupid humanoids traveling through time and space on this dented round container? Well, i dont have the answer but… a mix by amazing Melina Serser.
This spaced out compilation helps to heal some of this universal wounds.

Biofortified crops, for example rice enriched with vitamin A, are claimed as a way of getting vital extra nutrition to poor people. They’ve also been a topic of hot debate for several years. In a new development in the story of these crops, last week the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced nearly US$20 million in new grants for Golden Rice and BioCassava Plus. The aim of both projects is to develop nutritionally enhanced (‘biofortified’) staple crops enriched with pro-vitamin A, and make these available to smallholder farmers and poor consumers in Asia and Africa.
Research on genetically engineered ‘Golden Rice’ has been a work-in-progress since the early 1990s. Back then, Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer secured funding from the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Programme on Rice Biotechnology. Its premature launch in 2000 as a magic bullet in the global battle against vitamin A deficiency and child blindness generated excitement and criticism in equal measure. However, in the years that followed, important questions about the technical feasibility, nutritional efficacy and pro-poor credentials of the project have been overshadowed by an increasingly polarised debate ‘for and against’ GM crops. Scientific and policy issues that should have been openly shared and publicly discussed got lost amid overblown claims that, if it wasn’t for ‘burdensome’ regulations and ‘irrational’ opposition, Golden Rice would already be in farmers’ fields.
With the announcement of a new partnership to “further develop and evaluate” Golden Rice, hopefully this will change. The partners include the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), national rice research institutes in the Philippines and Bangladesh (PhilRice and BRRI) and Helen Keller International, known for its work in designing, implementing, and testing vitamin A delivery programmes worldwide.
Nancy Haselow, HKI vice president and regional director for Asia-Pacific, said this month: “we welcome the opportunity to see if Golden Rice is efficacious and can fill the gap in access to adequate vitamin A for all vulnerable groups in a sustainable way”. With this new research, there’s hope for a clearer understanding of how much these crops can do for farmers and consumers worldwide.

Decision to close Moygashel polling station victory for common sense - Gildernew
Sinn Féin MP for Fermanagh South Tyrone Michelle Gildernew has welcomed the decision by the Electoral Commission to close Moygashel polling station and has called it a victory for common sense which will allow the democratic process to go unhindered.
Speaking today Ms Gildernew said:
“The presence of a large number of hostile flag protestors outside the polling station in Moygashel on Election day for the European election deterred many people from voting and exercising their democratic right.
“Indeed several protestors came with knives and removed Sinn Féin posters from the area.
“It was a disgrace this protest was allowed to happen in the first place by the PSNI never mind be in situ for two and a half hours during voting.
“I made representations on this issue on behalf of my constituents to the Electoral Commission expressing our serious concerns.
“I welcome the subsequent consultation and the decision reached to close the Moygashel polling station.
“This is a victory for common sense and one that will now allow the democratic process in this area to go unhindered.
“While I understand that some people may have to travel slightly further to the two new polling stations at Dungannon Leisure Centre and St. Patrick's Primary School it is undoubtedly the a better option than to allow this level of intimidation to happen again.”

Sarreguemines, France--Continental AG is reportedly investing â‚¬20 million in moulds, machinery and presses at its tyre factory in Sarreguemines, eastern France, according to the French newspaper, La Tribune.
The factory should increase output to 10 million car tyres by 2006, up from about 9 million in 2005. Employment is unlikely to change from the current figure of 1250.

Both Metro and the Herald AM free newspapers launched this week and now you can’t leave a Dart station in Dublin without getting offered both. For the Record, I’m a Metro man myself , having used it (unsucessfully) to try and learn Flemish / Dutch while in Brussels.
The word has it that both were ready to launch, and held back several times while waiting (a) for the legal action to finish and (b) to see what it each other did.
It makes you wonder about the (good) flexibility of the Irish Jobs Market. Here , in an era of ‘full’ employment these guys can launch at the drop of a hat (less than 48hrs notice) and still have hundreds of people out on the street to do the distribution. Given that it’s unlikely they had the distribution guys on a retainer , shows that the Irish Jobs Market is definately more Boston than Berlin .

Every year, thousands of low-income students depend on grants to help them fund their education. The Pell Grant is the most well known of these grants. However, it is not the only need-based grant and you may qualify for other grants depending on your financial condition, your state and the institute you are attending.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant
The Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for undergraduates who have the lowest expected family contributions. The more dire your need is the more likely you are to qualify for this grant. As of 2011, you can receive anywhere from $100 to $4,000 a year depending upon your financial needs. The grant is disbursed through your school.
Academic Competitiveness Grant
Pell Grant recipient who also excel in academics may be eligible to get the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG). The grant is for freshmen and sophomores who have completed a rigorous secondary school program and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. If eligible, you may get up to$750 for the freshman year and $1,300 for the sophomore year for the 2011-12 academic years.
The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grant
The National SMART Grant is available during the third and fourth year of college education for students majoring in science or mathematics discipline. This is also a need-based grant but in order to be eligible, students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. As of 2011, the grant pays up to $4,000 per year.
Institutional and State Grants
Besides the above mentioned federal grants, you may also get grants from your state and the institution you are attending. Check with your school’s financial aid office regarding any state sponsored grants in your particular state. Also, many institutions provide need-based grants to help cover the cost of attending. The grants take in to account your family’s financial situation and help make the difference between what your family is able to pay and the cost of attending.

Liability insurance is a very broad superset that covers legal claims against the insured. Many types of insurance include an aspect of liability coverage. For example, a homeowner's insurance policy will normally include liability coverage which protects the insured in the event of a claim brought by someone who slips and falls on the property; automobile insurance also includes an aspect of liability insurance that indemnifies against the harm that a crashing car can cause to others' lives, health, or property. The protection offered by a liability insurance policy is twofold: a legal defense in the event of a lawsuit commenced against the policyholder and indemnification (payment on behalf of the insured) with respect to a settlement or court verdict. Liability policies typically cover only the negligence of the insured, and will not apply to results of wilful or intentional acts by the insured.
Michigan weighs in with the highest RV insurance rates, at a median annual premium of $4,490. Why are the average rates in Michigan so expensive? Because the state has mandatory personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which results in much higher costs for the insurance companies whenever there is an RV insurance claim. The second highest is Louisiana, with a median annual premium of $2,912.
Protected self-insurance is an alternative risk financing mechanism in which an organization retains the mathematically calculated cost of risk within the organization and transfers the catastrophic risk with specific and aggregate limits to an insurer so the maximum total cost of the program is known. A properly designed and underwritten Protected Self-Insurance Program reduces and stabilizes the cost of insurance and provides valuable risk management information.
Captive insurance companies may be defined as limited-purpose insurance companies established with the specific objective of financing risks emanating from their parent group or groups. This definition can sometimes be extended to include some of the risks of the parent company's customers. In short, it is an in-house self-insurance vehicle. Captives may take the form of a "pure" entity (which is a 100% subsidiary of the self-insured parent company); of a "mutual" captive (which insures the collective risks of members of an industry); and of an "association" captive (which self-insures individual risks of the members of a professional, commercial or industrial association). Captives represent commercial, economic and tax advantages to their sponsors because of the reductions in costs they help create and for the ease of insurance risk management and the flexibility for cash flows they generate. Additionally, they may provide coverage of risks which is neither available nor offered in the traditional insurance market at reasonable prices.
Specialized RV coverage might sound expensive, but its more affordable than you might think. Once you factor in all the available discounts and take advantage of sensible, money-saving coverage features like the Storage Option, you could be saving hundreds over the course of a year. If you’re trying to protect your RV with insurance coverage that’s suited for a car, then you’re putting it at risk.
RV insurance can be very different from car insurance depending on the type of RV or motorhome you have and how much you use it. Whether you have a camper trailer for weekend getaways and day trips; a large RV for extended vacations; or a motor home that you use as your primary residence, The Hartford has RV insurance solutions that you can customize to meet your needs.
Progressive’s app has 3.4 stars in the Apple App Store and has the same functions as most other providers’ apps: You can report a claim, pay your bills, view your policy, get in touch with an agent, and request roadside assistance. However, out of over 600 current ratings, many users complain that the app is buggy and isn’t easy to use. If mobile access is important to you, Progressive may make a stressful process even more frustrating.
A history of chronic disease or other potential health issues with an individual or family, such as heart disease or cancer, may result in paying higher premiums. Obesity, alcohol consumption, or smoking can affect rates as well. An applicant typically goes through a medical exam to determine whether he has high blood pressure or other signs of potential health issues that may result in premature death for the applicant and increased risk for the insurance company. People in good health typically pay lower life insurance premiums.
In the European Union, the Third Non-Life Directive and the Third Life Directive, both passed in 1992 and effective 1994, created a single insurance market in Europe and allowed insurance companies to offer insurance anywhere in the EU (subject to permission from authority in the head office) and allowed insurance consumers to purchase insurance from any insurer in the EU. As far as insurance in the United Kingdom, the Financial Services Authority took over insurance regulation from the General Insurance Standards Council in 2005; laws passed include the Insurance Companies Act 1973 and another in 1982, and reforms to warranty and other aspects under discussion as of 2012.
Your collision deductible is the amount of money you will pay out-of-pocket in the event that a collision damages your car. When deciding on the amount of your deductible, evaluate the age of your vehicle, how much you think repairs might cost you, and your willingness to pay for repairs under the amount of the deductible. For instance, if you hit a concrete barrier and you have a $500 deductible, you would pay $500 and Liberty Mutual would cover the rest of the repair costs above that amount. A higher collision deductible means that you will cover more of the cost of repairs when they arise, which in turn lowers your monthly premium.
Collision insurance is a coverage that helps pay to repair or replace your car if it's damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object, such as a fence or a tree. If you're leasing or financing your car, collision coverage is typically required by the lender. If your car is paid off, collision is an optional coverage on your car insurance policy.

Nevada's population is steadily growing, even though some of its rural counties are shrinking.
Nevada State Demographer Jeff Hardcastle said Wednesday that the state grew an estimated 1.5 percent, or more than 42,000, in the yearlong period that ended in July 2014.
That's roughly the same pace as the year before, and higher than the 1 percent rate for the year ending in mid-2012.
Clark County added nearly 38,000 people in the year ending in mid-2014 and logged a 1.9 percent growth rate. Washoe County grew 1 percent.
But rural areas including Carson City, Churchill and Lyon counties lost people.
Hardcastle says births are playing a role in population growth, and more immigration may also be a factor.

5 Best Street Photographers of 2018
Have you ever browsed through Instagram only to see an image that stopped you dead in your tracks? Perhaps it was one featuring a crowded city street, where a huge gush of water had escaped a pipe and well dressed passersby were rushing to avoid becoming wet. If so, you may have witnessed one of the many street photography images the internet has to offer. 2018 was a visually stunning year for street photography, as creators explored the world of travel, culture, and city or hometown images. Our top 5 list showcases their work though personal websites, photography platforms, on Instagram, social media platforms, and more.
What is Street Photography:
Street photography is a form of photography done in public situations. Often, street photography is candid and may feature people, action oriented scenes, or distinct images. The name is a misnomer, as capturing images in this way does not necessarily involve streets, roadways, or urban settings (though it may). It is also not the same as photography done solely for political or investigative reporting. Street photography’s strength is capturing real or spontaneous moments, which would fade from view if not seen through a camera’s lens. In this sense, street photography documents human life. You can find this art form in full color or black & white- featured in galleries, advertisements, magazines, on Instagram and other social media platforms, and more. When well done, street photography will cause the viewer to pause and visually take in all the image has to offer.
Top 5 Street Photographers for 2018:
- Liam Wong: Wong is the opposite of subtle b&w images. A photographer and art director, he has scored big points with his night time Tokyo street photography. His work is colorful and has given him enough of a name to be featured by Adobe, Canon, Saatachi, Forbes, and Smithsonian, etc. His Instagram account has 105,000 followers, even with only 97 posts to date. There is a sense of futurism to the images he creates. His website states, “Capturing real moments and transforming them into the surreal.” <https://www.liamwong.com>
- Cocu Liu: Think you can’t become a world recognized photographer using your smartphone? Liu proves this idea wrong as he feels its the best way to create straightforward images simply. His work is colorful and careful, with a sense that he has pride in the visuals he showcases and strives to show the beauty of San Francisco. By day he works as a senior user experience designer, but in 2014 won the iPhone photography award. His website incites the same colorful simplicity that his street photography does. <http://www.coculiu.com> His Instagram is a great way to view his work: <https://www.instagram.com/cocu_liu/?hl=en>
- Aaron Berger: Aaron Berger is a New York City photographer, who takes photos the way you wish selfies would turn out- filled with vibrant color, energy, a sense of its characters and the city they live in. His website <http://www.aaron-berger.com> and Instagram page <https://www.instagram.com/aaronbergerfoto/?hl=en> show that he isn’t afraid of protests, events, colorful characters and taking a stand. His images never lack energy and movement. He is the epitome of what many think of as person focused street photography.
- Chris Connolly: Chris Connolly is a Creative Director whose images are texture, location, and architecture driven. Though his photographs sometimes contain individuals, generally his street photography is focused on finding beauty in unique surroundings. His Instagram account is not short in followers, with over 529,000 <https://www.instagram.com/chrisconnolly/?hl=en>. His website will make you wish to visit the places he does, as he can even find an interesting way to photograph a wall or tree. <http://chrisconnolly.com>
- Thomas Leuthard: Switzerland born, Leuthard’s work is b&w images from big cities around the world. Although he is newer to the craft, his talent has led to a fanbase that makes him a worldwide name. He has published free e-books of his images and frequently posts to Instagram: <https://www.instagram.com/thomas.leuthard/>. When viewing any of his pieces, the viewer gets the sense that he takes completely common, forgettable surroundings and finds a subject which makes the image unique, while retaining simplicity to each piece. His challenge to create memorable images with an inherent story pays off, with everyday people completing iconic visuals.
Have your own favorite street photographer? Let us know in the comments! As with all art forms, specific images and photographs will appeal to each individual differently. Whether you practice photography yourself or are just a fan, following our top 5 street photographers will give you a diverse perspective of photography’s best!

A good indie drama/comedy with Adam Scott in his element
I picked Passenger Side as one of the 15 films i would watch during Cinequest this year as its the closest film festival to me, and they usually do a good job of picking both independent American films as well as noteworthy films of world cinema. Anyhow im glad they showed Bisonnette's "Passenger Ride". Although compared to Apatow, i think Bisonnette brings fresh comedy with a different style than Apatow. The writer/director does a good job setting up the mood using effective cinematography and a cool soundtrack. I liked the fact that they are basically driving across Los Angeles from one hot spot to another, the acting and writing linked up well as the director's brother was perfect for the role which seems to be somewhat biographical, and Adam Scott delivered one hell of a performance as the main character. The story is about Michael(Scott) giving his brother(Bisonette) rides around town to handle some things, the true reason kind of vague until later. Overall this was a film that was enjoyable, meaningful, and at times downright hilarious, hopefully it gets proper distribution.

Funny, quirky little indie with a fantastic soundtrack
I attended the World Premiere of "Passenger Side" at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival. Written and directed by Matthew Bissonnette, "Passenger Side" stars Joel Bisssonnette and Adam Scott as two brothers reluctantly brought together on a mission to find...well, we're not quite sure. And, yes, Joel is Matthew's brother, so it would be hard to escape the autobiographical implications of Bissonnette's script.
Road movies are not that rare. What is novel, however, is one which takes place within the confines of one city. Here the location is Los Angeles.
"Passenger Side" is indie all the way -- in its look, sound, and quirky sensibilities. Nothing fancy here, just a character-driven narrative that is both poignant and witty, as one would expect from a story centered around two brothers driving around in a car for a day. The strength of a film like this lies in the impact of the sketch comedy represented by each stop along the way, and some vignettes are gut-bustingly hilarious.
What makes this film unique, though, is the way in which the filmmakers worked the music into the story. Unlike most movies where songs are added in post-production as they become available, Bissonnette actually crafted scenes around tunes that he already had in mind. It's as if the movie is a series of music videos, with the action set to the songs, not the other way around. I got chills when the pair reached the shores of the Pacific with Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" playing in the background ("you can hear the boats go by...").

quirky and lovable
As I watched this film, enjoying almost all of it, I thought of the kind of reactions it might elicit in others. True to form, they all seem to be present in these IMDb reviews. Yes, I agree- it's quirky as hell. But not off-puttingly so. Yes, it has some blunt sexual material but, again, not off-puttingly so. It's got some implied gore, but because it is essentially off-camera, it too is not offputting. There is no plot, so to speak. So what? It's a road movie. That's code for 'character-driven' and there are plenty of them here. The music is often terrific. It just seems to fit despite the recent tendency to use a song's lyrics to explain or underscore the point of a scene. That's a practice I find incredibly disrespectful to an audience and I'm sad to see it has entered the mainstream. It doesn't happen here.
The scene with the transsexual hooker is great. It's not exploitive; it doesn't moralize. It manages to have humor and warmth. The porn-shoot scene was surprising and eye-opening. Are the people involved in making and producing porn really so empty-headed? I didn't expect that quickie-sex movies would draw a cast and crew of Rhodes scholars, but this was really jolting. Again, very naturally portrayed here. The "Tupperware party" comment was hilarious.
This kind of movie is going to find its own niche audience. It reminded me of "Me and You and Everyone We Know," although I'm not sure I can tell you why. In any case PASSENGER SIDE worked for me. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to anybody, but if they asked, I'd tell them to see it.

There are so many amazing ways to spice up a lacklustre sex life. When things are going a bit stale, there’s the beginners guides to BDSM, the hot sex tips from LGBT couples that everyone will love, or you can go solo and keep yourself entertained with some of the best sex toys around.
But how satisfied are we with our sex lives as a whole? According to a new study – not very.
Ipsos Mori asked 2,002 women to ‘fess up so that they could find out just how happy we were with all things afterglow, and, rather depressingly, only 17% women aged 30 to 80 are satisfied with their sex lives.
The study also asked how often we’re having sex. Yes, we know that more sex makes you better at your job, but considering the average Brit has sex this many times a week, we thought the averages for British women would be higher.
Of the participants, 10% said they had sex at least once a week, half of them said they had sex once a month, and less than 10% said they had sex once a year (if that).
But most surprisingly, more than 25% of the women asked said that they never have sex.
We all go through dry spells, but the most common reasons the women gave for avoiding getting between the sheets are being too tired, feeling too anxious, or their partners suffering from a problem such as erectile dysfunction.
And the group of women least satisfied with their sex lives? Those aged between 30 and 44, when women are meant to be at their sexual prime.

Mulching strawberry plants is a necessary step in the care of perennial strawberry care. For gardeners using the matted row system to produce strawberries, part of the process of growing strawberries involves strawberry renovation and preparation for overwintering strawberry plants. In milder temperate climates, minimal mulching is required as strawberries can withstand nominal freezing temperatures without much difficulty. However, if temperatures drop below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, the crowns will often sustain damage and fail to bloom the following spring.
One of the simplest and most common methods of protecting the strawberry crowns is to use a thick layer of straw mulch to cover and protect the vulnerable crowns during the cold of winter. It is relative easy to apply and serves several beneficial functions for your plants.
Benefits of Mulching Strawberry Plants with Straw for Winter
As already mentioned, the primary benefit obtained by straw mulching your strawberry bed is the prevention of cold injury. However, simple temperature control is not the only benefit of using a straw mulch (or other mulch). Mulching appropriately also prevents frost heaving of the crowns. Additionally, the moisture content of the dormant plants is better maintained by preventing the winter winds from desiccating. And, perhaps most importantly, mulching helps reduce the risk of your plants developing black root rot. Black root rot is more common in plants that have developed susceptibility to it because of cold injury.
How to Mulch Strawberry Plants with Straw
In order to ensure that your plants are adequately protected, follow these steps:
1. Obtain clean straw. Oat, rye, or wheat straw are the best mulching straw types because it isn’t heavy, is loose, and won’t smother the plants. Leaves will form a dense, smothering layer, and hay usually contains a host of weed and grass seeds that will germinate in warmer weather and will compete with or choke out your strawberries. Using straw also reduces the chance of inoculating your bed with insect pests or other pathogens. One bale of straw will typically cover about 30 feet of 4-foot-wide matted row.
2. Choose the appropriate time to apply the straw mulch. The straw should not be applied until the strawberry plants have gone dormant for the winter. Otherwise, the plants might be smothered. Strawberry plants typically go dormant when the temperatures have dropped into the mid-20° F range for 3-4 consecutive days. Plants can usually be identified as dormant by the older leaves, which will turn brown first. The younger leaves will turn from a bright green to a dull green or gray color. It is best not to wait until the ground is completely frozen.
3. Apply the straw mulch to the strawberry plants. Once the plants are dormant, apply the mulch! Break up the bale and then break the flakes completely. Apply loose straw to the row of strawberry plants 3 to 6 inches deep. It is also good to cover any exposed soil between rows or in the planting.
4. Remove the straw before springtime. It is important to remove the straw mulch from the plants prior to them beginning to grow. Gently rake most of the straw off the plants and into the rows as soon as the top 2-4 inches of soil have warmed to 4o degrees. Leave a thin layer of straw over the plants. The plants will grow up through this thin covering, and it will also serve to keep the strawberries clean and minimize contact with the dirt beneath.
Mulching Strawberry Plants with Straw for Winter: Conclusion
If cared for appropriately, strawberry plants will produce well year after year. In fact, with effective transplanting, your strawberries can keep replenishing themselves for a lifetime! So, mulch appropriately. Straw is an excellent choice for mulching medium, although some people like to use newspaper.
So, plant to give a little tender loving care to you strawberry bed, and your strawberry plants will reward you with numerous harvests to come! Good luck!

- Setting and working towards personal goals: Having something to strive for can give you a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
- Practicing gratitude: Taking time to appreciate the things you have in your life can help you focus on the positive.
- Building and maintaining positive relationships: Strong connections with friends and loved ones can provide support, love and make you feel good about yourself.
- Engaging in activities that bring you joy: Whether it’s hobbies, sports, or volunteer work, doing things you enjoy can bring happiness and fulfillment.
- Taking care of your physical and mental well-being: Eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can help you feel better physically and mentally.
- Mindfulness and meditation: By being present in the moment and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, can help you feel more content with your life.
It’s also important to remember that happiness is not a constant state, but rather a journey. It’s normal to have ups and downs, and it’s important to be kind and compassionate to yourself when things don’t go as planned.

Anyone wondering why it is that Judith Ivey lives in New York rather than out here should spend 10 minutes reading her theater notices.
They are the kind guaranteed to make even the most spoiled actress dash off thank-you notes and send baskets of flowers. They're so glowing and adulatory that you suspect the reviewers must all be near relatives.
This two-time Tony Award winner (for "Steaming" and "Hurly Burly") is held in such high regard on Broadway that, asked to recall an unfavorable review, she has to think a while. And that's unusual, since most actresses can only recall the unflattering ones.
But with the New York Times calling her "dazzling" and Newsweek calling her "sensational" and the acerbic John Simon calling her "an unmitigated joy" for almost everything she's done on stage, perhaps it's no surprise that she can't easily recall ever having been panned.
The only danger in all this, Ivey thinks, is that she tends to be regarded solely as a New York actress--despite the fact she's been in 10 movies.
"It's true I'm a stage animal," she said on a visit to Los Angeles the other day. "Being a star on Broadway was always my dream. And I'm lucky--I'm one of maybe a couple of dozen actresses who makes a living just as a stage actress. But I don't want to be labeled; I enjoy doing movies and want to do a lot more."
One she has great hopes for--although she found it hard going--is "Sister, Sister," which opens Friday. Directed by Bill Condon, who is making his feature debut, the film concerns two sisters who share a grim secret in their decaying house in the Louisiana swampland. (Eric Stoltz and Jennifer Jason Leigh also star.)
Her role, says Ivey, was "rough."
"The character I play is such an unhappy woman that it was like being mentally ill for two months. The character completely took me over. I found fault with everybody.
"Usually on the set, I sit around and joke with people. Not on this one. I found myself going around apologizing to people for being rude. Maybe I wasn't actively disliked but I certainly wasn't any fun. And by the time the movie was over, I really felt I was unpopular with the other people. When I finally finished it, it was like a veil being lifted."
She awaits her reviews with more than usual interest. For after getting her movie start in Paul Newman's "Harry and Son"--followed quickly by "The Lonely Guy" with Steve Martin and "The Lady in Red" with Gene Wilder--none of her performances made a great impression.
Not until Frank Perry's "Compromising Positions" with Susan Sarandon did her work really register. "She steals the show," wrote one critic. "The movie belongs to Judith Ivey," wrote another.
"When I first saw myself on the screen in 'Harry and Son,' it was a jolt," she said. "All I saw was my total lack of knowledge of the camera; how much I had to learn. So those early films were really on-the-job training."
She got the role in "Harry and Son" through her role in "Steaming" which ran on Broadway for just two months. Her performance as Josie, a cheeky Cockney working girl who strolled around a London steam bath wearing nothing but a smile, earned her both a Tony and a Drama Desk award in 1983.
(When Playboy asked her to pose for them, she was quite upset. "I was offended," she said. "I thought: They don't understand what I'm doing here. I am acting ; I am not exhibiting myself.")
Joanne Woodward, a friend with whom she had once appeared in "Hay Fever" in Ohio, came to the first night of "Steaming" and, at the party afterwards, roundly abused her late-arriving husband Paul Newman for having missed "the performance of the year."
"She berated him for missing me," said Ivey with a chuckle. "So next night he came to see me. And I got the role in his film." (She played a sexually aggressive secretary who seduces both Newman and his son, played by Robbie Benson.)
Two years ago Ivey was back on Broadway again in David Rabe's "Hurly Burly," playing a go-go-dancing Valley girl, strutting around in a string bra and panties.
"Can't you get a part where you keep your clothes on?" Newman joked after seeing the play.
Once again there was a barrage of great notices for her work, followed by her second Tony and Drama Desk award. Mike Nichols, who directed the piece, called her one of the two most remarkable actresses he had ever directed. (The other? Meryl Streep.)
Born in El Paso, Tex., Ivey went to Illinois State University, married a junior college professor (they divorced three years later) and then spent five years acting in Chicago before moving to New York in 1978.
She got work there, but not much, and by the time 1981 came along and she turned 30, she decided her career was going nowhere. An Off Off Broadway production she was in had paid her $340 for eight weeks' work. "I seriously considered opening a pet store," she says.
Then came "Steaming," and everything changed. So effective was her Cockney accent in it that, at the Tony award ceremony, one of the organizers actually thanked her for flying in from London.
At the moment, Ivey is single.
"I've invested a lot in my theatrical career," she said. "And, yes, I've sacrificed some things. I'd like to be a mother and I'm not. I'd like to have a companion and I don't right now. That's my own doing. My focus has been on work and avoiding distractions. I'm where I am today because I've avoided those distractions. But I don't feel my life has been any less of an adventure because I haven't had a child."
She got up to go.
"Oh yes," she said. "I do remember one bad notice. When I was in 'Oh Coward' in Chicago, one critic wrote that 'Judith Ivey singing "Mad About the Boy" was the nadir of the evening. . . .' " She laughed aloud.

Water management, policies and legislation related to water use in agriculture
The Water Commission, previously under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) but now under the Ministry of National Infrastructures (MNI), implements the water law, plans, develops, allocates, and manages water, and sets and annually revises water prices with the approval of a special parliamentary committee. Apart from the MARD and MNI, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour (MITL) also have a strong influence on the water sector. At the operational level, the Water Commission relies on Mekorot, a state-owned water company that produces and distributes around 70 percent of the water supply in the country. Mekorot operates the National Water Carrier, the pipeline system that moves water southwards from Lake Galilee to the Negev desert. In recent years, Mekorot has also entered spheres such as urban water retail, sewerage treatment, and sea water desalination. The Water Commission receives technical planning as well as research and development support from Tahal, a large engineering consulting firm. Although this firm had been the official and sole water planner for the past 20 years or so, now it is made to compete with other engineering companies within Israel to obtain project contracts from government (World Bank, 1999).
The Agricultural Extension Service of MARD focuses on all subjects related to agriculture, in particular water management, the promotion of water saving technologies and use of marginal water. It is financed by two sources: government funds (80 percent) and non-government sources, mainly production and marketing boards (20 percent). Generally services to farmers are free, although some supplementary advisory packages are provided upon specific request in exchange for payment.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for the quality of drinking water in Israel. In order to assure water quality, the Ministry has promulgated regulations that specify water quality standards regarding its microbial, chemical, physical and radiological aspects.
The Yigal Allon Kinneret Limnological Laboratory (Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research) carries out research aimed at understanding how present and future conditions might influence water quality and monitors major environmental factors which may affect the state of Lake Kinneret (Lake Tiberias).
Water is regarded as a national asset and is protected by law. Users receive their annual allocation from the Water Commission. The entire water supply is measured and payment is calculated according to consumption and water quality. Urban users pay much higher fees for water than farmers, including a water reclamation levy. Farmers pay differential prices for potable water. The first 60 percent of the allocation costs 20 cents per m3, 60 percent to 80 percent costs 25 cents, and 80 percent to 100 percent costs 30 cents per m3. This incremental price policy encourages water saving. Water scarcity and price policy necessitate the use of marginal water, such as brackish and reclaimed water. Brackish water is used for irrigation of salinity-tolerant crops like cotton. In several crops, such as tomatoes and melons, brackish water improves produce quality although lower yields are achieved. The use of reclaimed water for irrigation of edible crops requires a high level of purification. For that purpose, unique technology – Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) – is now being applied in the densely populated Dan region. After tertiary purification, the water percolates through sand layers, which serve as a biological filter, into the aquifer. From there it is pumped at nearly potable quality and can be used for unrestricted irrigation (MARD, 2006).
Groundwater and surface water are state property according to the Israel water law. Each year the Israel water commissioner allocates for each village an annual water quota for irrigation. Historically, initial quotas were determined according to factors such as: total land suitable for irrigation, soil type, population size, location, water usage prior to 1959 and political affiliation of the village. Water quotas are adjusted periodically in order to take into consideration new water sources and new villages. The price of water is determined by the commissioner using a three-tier price system. These price levels are determined according to historical quotas. Thus, the allotment of irrigation water and water prices are assumed to be exogenous to the farmers (World Bank, 2007).
Although water policy and administration are centralized with considerable political overtones, the water sector in Israel is subject to a much stronger economic influence than its counterparts in other countries. This is partly due to metered volumetric allocation and partly due to a relatively stricter economic water pricing system. While inter-sectoral water allocation is used to favour domestic and industrial sectors, water prices in these sectors are higher and cover full costs. Even though irrigation water is subsidized, the subsidy has declined from 75 to 50 percent since progressive block rate pricing was introduced in 1987 that penalizes large and fresh water consumers. Water wastage is the least in all sectors and water productivity has increased more than 250 percent in agriculture and 80 percent in industry (World Bank, 1999).
Policies and legislation
The 1959 Water Law that made water a nationalized public good remains the foundation for present water policy and water administration. According to that Law, all water is the property of the state, including waste, sewer and runoff water that can be used commercially. A landowner does not own the water under his/her land. The Law also created a permanent body known as the Water Commissioner (see above) to oversee and allocate water rights.
Israel’s Water Law includes sewage water in its definition of “water resources.” National policy calls for the gradual replacement of freshwater allocations to agriculture by reclaimed effluents. In the year 2002, treated wastewater constituted about 24 percent of consumption by the agricultural sector. It is estimated that effluents will constitute more than 40 percent of the water supplied to agriculture in 2010 (CBS, 2006).
