Johnstown council discussing second option for those opposed to pressure testing
By: Maria Miller
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -- Just two weeks after Johnstown City Council proposed a repeal of the controversial pressure test mandate for its portion of the sewer project, they've come up with a second possible option for homeowners. But experts are already arguing it might not work.
"There's been a lot of protesting against the pressure testing so we're also looking at the possiblity of camera testing," said Johnstown Mayor Frank Janakovic after a work session at City Hall on Tuesday.
Camera testing is a possible second option that City Council members are debating for residents in the city who are strongly opposed to pressure testing their sewage lines.
"The claim with pressure testing was once you pressure test, if the lines are deficient, they're going to collapse and you'll have to replace the entire line," Janakovic said. "With the camera itself, it may give an option of replacing only a portion of the lines, or if there's a crack or leak, they might be able to slip line."
In some cases the camera testing option would prevent people with finished basements from ripping up entire sections of flooring. But it's also an option local contractors will tell you up front won't work for every home.
"Pressure testing is an objective test. It's either pass or fail," said Steve Sewalk, an engineer for the EADS Group and consultant for the city. "The camera is a subjective test. You can't always see all the defects that leak through that process."
"(Residents would choose the option) knowing the camera testing isn't always 100 percent foolproof and it may be something they have to go back in and correct at a later time," Janakovic said.
Pressure testing has been the only option for at least 500 city residents who have already completed the work, not to mention the thousands of people in surrounding municipalities who will no doubt have frustrations if city residents aren't required to do the same. But it's a method the EADS Group said is showing results to the overall infrastructure.
"I think a lot will see the benefits of it and still follow through with it as a very large percentage in Ferndale," Sewalk said. "Ferndale did the same thing.... Hopefully that will bring us to the point we need."
The option has not been finalized. Council will hold at least one more work session to discuss its options before they vote at their next meeting July 23.
In the meantime 6 News is told the Johnstown Redevelopment Authority has already started looking into new, higher rates for municipalities who don't go through with pressure testing and result with stronger flows to the sewage treatment plant.

Haven’t been here in a while. Recovering from the somber fact that I must take more agency over my health. In doing so, I’ve forgone my daily glass of wine in the last couple weeks (yes, good for the heart. but bad for sinus problems), am avoiding gluten and dairy and being more moderate around my favorite drug of choice, sugar. Caffeine, forgettaboudit.
I will not be a fascist with myself. ‘Everything in moderation, including moderation’ a now-deceased friend of mine used to say. Being immoderate is not what killed him, by the way. But that’s another story.
As we surge headlong into the season of overconsumption and ruthless temptations, it helps to stay close to center. For me, meditation and scribbling ala Julia Cameron in the morning helps. Once you’re centered, that is, in touch with true self, as in the mind, not the brain…it becomes more difficult to be pulled into that which you know will make you feel crummy. Pain is a great motivator. The next time you feel that sense of balance remember how it feels to lose it, and in that moment be grateful. It will stick around longer that way.

Hyderabad: IT and industries minister K.T. Rama Rao on Friday pitched India as the ideal test bed for building emerging technology-based solutions that can be readily scaled across Third World countries to achieve sustainable goals, while speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The minister said that by virtue of its vast and broad spectrum of economic, social and geographical scenarios, India is well positioned to act as such a global test bed.
Addressing a virtual WEF panel discussion, ‘Harnessing Emerging Technologies in India’, Rama Rao spoke about the steps initiated by the Telangana state government to leverage innovation and emerging technologies in various sectors including agriculture, healthcare, and education.
The minister presented an overview of the various multi-stakeholder initiatives including use of artificial intelligence in agriculture and ‘Medicines from the Sky’, the programme to deliver medicines using drones.
The panelists, including Diksha Madhok, director of Quartz Platform, Rajan Anandan, managing director, Sequoia Capital, Meagan Fallone, director, Barefoot College International, and Jai Shroff, global CEO of UPL Ltd, deliberated on the topic, ‘How can emerging technologies further boost productivity, expedite the growth transition and reinforce resilience to future shocks to meet India’s pressing challenges?’
Rama Rao, who said Telangana was investing in improving digital infrastructure via the T-Fiber project, said the state formulated actionable technology policy frameworks in emerging technology areas such as blockchain, drones, artificial intelligence, open data, cyber security, and cloud. Responding to a specific question, he said digital readiness has been instrumental for a V-shaped economic recovery during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Conventional businesses, he said, rapidly went online across the country — leveraging improving internet accessibility. Internet has enabled access to new markets helping first movers to not only recover but thrive during the pandemic, he said.
Rama Rao said the underlying disparities in healthcare, education, financial stability and technology have led the Covid-19 crisis to disproportionately impact certain groups and countries.
“A holistic and systems-based view is required to stress test our assumptions of the future to identify hidden chinks and build resilience to future shocks, and the global health risk is one such chink that should now be an eye-opener for governments and multilateral organizations across the world,” he said....

Can one of the many Miami Marlins prospects make it to the Major League roster this spring and help change the fortunes of the franchise?
Even with all the changes the Miami Marlins made this offseason to it’s 40-man roster, the fact still remains this organization is still committed to building a franchise through it’s minor-league system.
Now in the third season of this rebuilding project, the front office will sit back and watch to see which prospects make the leap from being potential stars to hopefully leading this team toward the 70-win plateau.
There is plenty to talk about as Miami heads towards spring training in Jupiter Florida in the next week. The pitching staff is better. There is more power in the middle of the lineup. The bench should be deeper. The bullpen should be stronger and wins should be more attainable.
It makes for an interesting season in 2020. But if prospects cannot make the transition effectively, it could be another long here. The staff here at Marlin Maniac took the time to talk about which minor-league prospect we believe has the most to gain in Spring Training. Here are a few of our thoughts.
Kevin Kraczkowski – I think the one player on the Marlins who could make the most out of a strong showing in Spring Training is likely Monte Harrison. I think he’s just a .320 spring away from a spot on Miami’s Opening Day roster.
Plate discipline has ever been an issue for Monte, as it has been for all three position players that Miami received in the [Christian] Yelich deal two years ago. If he can homer in five percent of his PA’s, while keeping his K% below a quarter, he’s likely to win the job as the fourth outfielder or maybe even as the OD (opening Day) centerfielder.

David Fernandez – With the Marlins having an open spot in center field, Harrison has the most to gain in spring training. He would likely have been a September call-up last season had it not been for a wrist injury while playing in Triple-A. In 2019, Harrison hit .274 with a .357 on-base, nine homers and 24 RBI in 56 games.
The Marlins have brought in a ton of talent for the outfield, but Corey Dickerson, Matt Kemp and Matt Joyce are all corner outfielders. Harrison will battle with Lewis Brinson, Magneuris Sierra and Harold Ramirez for time in center. A good spring could see the 24-year-old Harrison lock down the position.
David Levin – What if I told you that I have a sneaking suspicion that Edward Cabrera will be the best pitcher to come out of this next group of Marlins prospects?
And what if I told you that I believe the reason why the Marlins front office felt secure in trading Zac Gallen to Arizona was because they felt Sixto Sanchez and Cabrera we’re going to be better in the future?
This is purely speculation, but there may be some truth to it as well.
There’s no secret that the Marlins have done the right thing by acquiring plenty of young pitching depth. It’s what the front office and coaching staff decided to do with these youngsters that will make this organization a winner in the future. As Cabrera comes to camp, he is firmly entrenched as the number two pitching prospect in the organization. But when he makes his initial visit to Marlins Park is unknown.
Just like Nick Neidert last season, Cabrera has a chance to leave an indelible mark the Marlins will take note of and he could be the second arm brought up from the minors behind Neidert this season.

The pearl sky is filled
With a chattering of birds
The clamour of spring
The pearl sky is filled
With a chattering of birds
The clamour of spring
Behold the empty chair where you once sat
and read your books
and grumbled at the news
and spilt your tea
and swore at the cat
The chair that still carries your form
in its lumpy cushions
where you dribbled
when you fell asleep
where you sheltered from my storms
This is the chair where you consoled me
where you cradled babies
and coddled children
and made up stories
while they dandled on your knee
This is the chair that has to go
for with it’s stiff and empty arms
it does not hold me well
It’s early. Still dark. But the dog is insistent and if I don’t crawl out of bed now she’ll probably make a mess on the floor. She’s getting old now and her bladder isn’t what it used to be.
As I flip-flop down the stairs, I remember what day it is and a shiver passes through my body.
‘Someone walking over your grave’ my mother would have said.
I open the back door on to a world of white. Another dump of snow in the night. The dog almost disappears as she leaps into it with glee, her paw prints criss-crossing the garden in a crazy zig-zag of joy.
I leave her out there while I put the kettle on and try to liven myself up.
Sipping my tea and watching the slow glow of day creep in through the closed curtains, I try not to think too hard about the day ahead. I’m supposed to be happy. It’s supposed to be a red letter day. My husband is coming home.
He’s been away for four years. Getting out early for good behaviour. I wonder if he’s going to be able to get here with the weather as it is. I’m not going to pick him up. No. He understood. I’m sure he understood.
The dog comes in and unsuccessfully tries to leap on to my lap shaking snow from her coat and nearly spilling my tea as she does so. I shout at her, probably more fiercely than I should have and she slinks off and sits in her basket looking at me with her unblinking soulful eyes.
‘Sorry’ I say out loud, and pat her on the head. That’s all she needs. That’s all it takes sometimes, even with humans. Just a quick and heartfelt ‘sorry’, and the equivalent of a pat on the head. I dunno, a hug maybe, or just a smile.
I drag myself up the stairs and stand under the shower for a full five minutes, washing off the night with my ‘Japanese Spa’ shower gel. I don’t know what’s so Japanese about it, I got it from the supermarket up the road. Anyway, it does the trick, I feel fresher once I’ve dried and put some clean clothes on.
I wasn’t sure what to wear. Should I try to look nice? Be welcoming? Or just look myself, in my old jeans and tatty jumper? I decide on the latter. It’s how he’ll remember me.
He’s not coming until the afternoon.
‘not sure what time’ he said, in our brief phone conversation ‘depends on the trains.’
I don’t know much about the trains. Haven’t been on one in years. I get a bit claustrophobic on public transport, it’s why I love my little car so much. She’s been a godsend. Oh yes, it’s a she. I feel safe in her, comfortable and in control. In fact, some times, on the bad nights, I go out to the drive and just sit in her, lock the doors and turn on the radio. She is my mother ship..
The morning slips by in a haze of dog walking, dusting, changing the bed, and hoovering. Before I know it, it is lunchtime, but I can’t eat anything, the mere thought of food sends me dry heaving over the toilet. It won’t do me any harm I suppose, I could probably do with losing a few pounds. It’s easy to eat rubbish when you’re on your own, and I’m sure my shape change won’t go unmentioned.
I watch the news at 1:00. To my mock horror they don’t mention the imminent release of my spouse. Amazing how such momentous events in a life can go completely unnoticed by the rest of the world.
I switch off the TV and let the dog out in the back garden again. There’s a weak sun and the dogs paw prints are losing their shape as the top layer of snow begins to melt. The cold is refreshing and I suck in the dry winter air as if it’s my last gasp.
I don’t know what to do with myself for the rest of the afternoon. I try to paint, but the inspiration isn’t there and the paints won’t move on the paper as willingly as they usually do. Then I pick up my kindle. That’s been a godsend, I read so many books, mostly psychological thrillers and murder mysteries. It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but I enjoy those more than the foolish romantic stuff women of my age are supposed to read. Nonetheless, today I find the words swim about and even though I read the same page umpteen times, I can’t make sense of it.
It’s half past three, and getting dark already. I prayed and prayed that he would arrive in daylight, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. But then I hear a car grinding to a halt outside. It’s a taxi.
Should I go and open the door, or wait for him to knock? I don’t want him to think I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting, like I have, so I leave it and listen for the once familiar four raps. I stand in the kitchen, my legs feel numb, my breath is sharp staccato, and I feel slightly dizzy. Then the doorbell rings.
I reach out to the worktop to steady myself, take a deep breath, before walking as calmly as I can to the door. I can see his shape through the glass. Instantly recognisable. He’s tall, quite lanky really, and I can see a halo of curly hair outlined against the setting sun.
‘Took yer time’ he says, as I open the door.
I see him briefly appraising me.
‘Put on a bit a weight, Christ, I’d fergotten how bloody old you are’ he says, as he tries to push past me.
Instinctively I put my hand up against his chest, in a ‘halt’ motion. My body is on auto pilot.
‘yeah, pleased to see you too’ he says in his old familiar sarcastic way. ‘get outta the way woman, and go and get kettle on’.
I look him straight in his steely eyes, my body definitely in auto pilot, and say ‘No’.
Just like that.
It confuses him. Of course it does. He snatches at my wrist to tug my hand away, but all of a sudden I’m quick and nimble. The dog is snapping at his ankles and he looks down and kicks at her. It gives me enough time to deftly bring my other hand up, the one with the kitchen knife in it, and slash at his turkey neck.
As he crumples, he looks surprised. He shouldn’t be.
Wet windows reflect
the cheeks of the wayward girl
whose own failings
scythe through her mind
shredding her life
with a thousand cuts
no action scenes
or joyful romances
in this movie
just harsh edits by
the backroom boys
who don’t like drama
living the seedy lifestyle
of the forgotten
she spends her days
dragging the dry air
the unrepairable past
smouldering at her centre
Outside the starry skies
and bright lights
only cast unwanted shadows
of what could have been
to torment in the twisted
sheet of night
I see you in the mirrored window
of the uptown shop
someone is snapping
another is shouting
I stare at the glass
but not through it
for you outshine that glittering display
with your golden skin
shiny silken hair
and tinkling jewellery
there is a flash of whitened teeth
a brief wave of unblemished hand
then the scent of the ocean
as you leave
and I remain
my brief proximity
Oh I do enjoy a bit of me time now and again. In front of the fire, with a nice cuppa tea in my favourite cheery uppy mug, slippers on, feet on the table (oh I know, what a rebel), remote, ipad and phone all within reaching distance. What could be nicer?
Look, look at morning
rising through the ink of night
the birds sing their joy

Costs for maintenance and restoration of built monuments in Europe are high, sometimes due to the choice of inadequate repair materials or inadequate application. For masonry mortars and pointing mortars research has already been performed on a European level. In the field of mortars for renders and plasters this was not the case, while still many questions have to be solved. Salt decay processes are amongst the most recurrent causes of damage to masonry and masonry finishes like renders and plasters and, as has to be stressed, the mechanisms are still poorly understood. Special rendering systems are available on the market, which are meant to achieve a longer service life in the presence of salts and moisture, but also more traditional solutions are in use. Experience in the field has shown that, even in the case of special mortars, failures regularly occur. This makes the situation for end-users, with respect to the choice of the most appropriate rendering mortar, little transparent.
For these reasons the European COMPASS project (Compatibility of Plasters and Renders with Salt loaded Substrates in Historic Buildings) was launched and executed (2002-2005). In order to improve the current situation the COMPASS project was focused on the development of the following three fields of knowledge: (I) a model describing the decay process and experiments and field evaluation to validate the model (II) requirements for rendering mortars as a function of different application conditions and (III) end-user guidelines (in the form of an expert system) for the choice of the most adequate solution in a given situation.
In this special issue the attention is focused on the research results of in-depth programs within the COMPASS project. The main objective of the in-depth research was to develop a transport and degradation model for the substrate-render combination: i.e. to give a sound description of the degradation mechanisms. To this end theoretical and experimental methods have been applied to study the moisture/salt transport and degradation mechanisms. For the development of the theoretical models unsaturated flow theories were used. In the experimental studies the following methods were applied:
In the research results presented in this special issue an attempt is made to correlate the theoretical findings with field study results on salt distribution and damage mechanisms, experimental studies on dilation during crystallisation-dissolution cycling and results of the development of an accelerated salt damage test.

KEma Sikazwe’s first name means “the shining one” in the language of his Zambian parents. It suits him. The rapper and actor, who also plays the role of Kema Kay, has a radiance that draws you to him. Despite all the quick punch in his words, he comes across as a good soul, an innocent person trying to make sense of a world that hasn’t always made his intentions positive.
In this autobiographical solo exhibit, first seen in 2019 and revised for this race, he tells a coming-of-age story about his quest to fit in. She strikes with her honesty, her vulnerability and, in her mixture of words and music. , its virtuosity – that and the finely tuned staging of Graeme Thompson.
By right, Sikazwe should have had it easy. He was not born into wealth, but his father had the initiative to land a place at Newcastle University and, most importantly, an uncle who, being Finance Minister Ronald Penza, had the resources to bring Zambian family in UK.
According to Sikazwe’s own account, the northeast of England had roughly the same mix of poverty and wealth as the country he left when he was three years old. The weather could have been better, but their new communal estate had a familiar community spirit.
One of the observers of nature, Sikazwe paints himself as a shy and sensitive boy whose attempts at assimilation are forever thwarted. He takes on the local accent but remains an outsider, especially because of the racist harassment of his classmates. Fighting earns him acceptance but brings more problems.
It’s a dilemma made worse by a series of family tragedies that give the monologue much of its emotional appeal. Whatever Sikazwe’s will to do the right thing, the circumstances are against him. His sunny personality is all that explains his apparent lack of anger towards those who did not support him.
He tells his story with the same charm and urgency with which he delivers his songs, his fluid and controlled body language as Nick Rogerson’s light strips, arranged in parallel lines on Emma Bailey’s set, range from cool blue. from the disco to fiery red. As a show about positive thinking, it shines.

COP21: 09/122015: Paris: Today we are launching a Green Bond Guide for the public sector, offering detailed action plans & best-practice examples from around the world for how to grow green bond markets.
The Guide is the result of a partnership between the Climate Bonds Initiative and the UNEP Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System.
Three Major Categories of Green Bond Recommendations for the Public Sector
The Guide offers detailed action plans within each of these categories and a wide range of best-practice examples. The application and mix for each country will depend on the specific macroeconomic context and policy priorities.
The findings of this report will also feed into an OECD report on green bonds, to be launched in 2016, and country-specific policy reports under development by the Climate Bonds Initiative.
The World Bank View – Annex to the Report
The Guide includes an annex from the World Bank Group as an additional resource for policymakers in emerging economies to assist them in foundational bond market development.
Key findings of the report in the context of COP21 and the new INDCs
The green bond market - bonds whose proceeds are used for green projects, most commonly climate mitigation and adaptation projects - is growing rapidly. So far, US$40bn of green bonds has been issued in 2015, making it the largest year of issuance to date.
Green bonds have featured heavily in climate finance events here in Paris, as a tool to scale up climate investments by tapping into institutional investors – who hold US$93 trillion in OECD countries alone.
However, the market growth needs to be accelerated for green bonds to help meet the climate goals set out in the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs - country plans for climate mitigation and adaptation) being discussed at COP21. The report identifies $1trillion in green bonds by 2020 as an interim goal.
To give you an idea of the scale of investments needed, India’s INDC alone requires USD2.5 trillion of investment from now until 2030.
Bonds are an attractive financing tool for low carbon and climate resilient infrastructure projects, providing a potentially low cost and long-term source of capital.
In emerging economies with nascent bond markets, actions to develop green bond markets can be done as part of the general bond market development process. This allows countries to simultaneously address both INDC country climate plans and capital market development aims.
What the Report Authors Say:
Sean Kidney, CEO of the Climate Bonds Initiative:
“This guide can help the public sector in translating aspects of their national INDC objectives into climate finance outcomes. Adding green bonds into the climate finance mix can help the shift of capital to low carbon projects, infrastructure and climate resilient development.”
Credible, robust and liquid green bond markets can only accelerate the investment directions that INDCs in part, require, to meet individual country targets.”
“There is clear interest amongst policy makers to scale green bond markets. Here at COP21 green bonds are being identified as a potential new source of climate finance for cities, regions and low carbon infrastructure and projects across many sectors.”
Nick Robins, co-director of the UNEP Inquiry:
“The potential opportunity of the green bond market has caught policy makers’ attention. There are increasingly examples of governments moving from interest to action. China’s central bank has published a range of ambitious policy proposals for green bonds, with official green bond guidelines launching soon. India’s capital markets regulator SEBI just announced green bond guidelines. In the EU, supporting green bond standards is included in Capital Markets Action Plan.”
“At COP21 many discussions have centered around climate finance and the level of investment needed to bring about low carbon outcomes. Green bond market development is seen as a real option.”
“This report can only assist governments, policy makers and ultimately institutional investors in developing sustainable climate finance outcomes.”
This is a first iteration of the policy guide - so we're looking for feedback. Please email Beate Sonerud. We’d love your input.

These are notes from "Module 5: Situating Sustainability" of APU's Online Course - Sustainability in the Indian Context
The movement of societies is determined by various factors. Some of the important ones are Nature, Culture, Markets and State. The important part are that all these are in a state of change and proper interventions (even by individuals) can lead us to a better outcome.
How we understand nature and see ourselves as connected to it defines our worldview. The more in tune we are with natural cycles, the more we understand how closely our existance is linked to natural systems and how our actions effect those systems.
Cultural changes are key for a more sustainable future. Some things which affect cultural change are Art, Education and Government Action.
We live in a society organized by Market.
Historically, markets evolved with and remained within society in order to fulfill certain crucial functions - it was governed by the Moral Economy and Social Norms. Today, society is embedded in markets - markets define how our society is organized. What that means is that because of this, commercial activities - trading, profit, commerce are now free of social construct and taboos.
In the current market economy we often pay the cost of extraction, production and delivery of an item but not the consequences of the process, esp of non-commodities which are treated as commodities. Markets are great at dealing with things which can be priced effectively. However, Most things aren't priced with complete information, taking into account the complex interactions and the relationships it has with commons and people.
Government regulation has been one of the ways of making sure that the correct price of commons is levied on producers- Polluter Pays principle. This has been effective at locally addressing the problem. However, businesses and capital is now mobile and this leads to a Roving Bandit problem where the entity causing the problem just shifts to another place where government regulations or enforcement is lax (esp in a global market). A company can destroy the commons of one area or state and then move to another once regulation or pollution makes it difficult to continue.
One proposed way to combat climate change is using the Market for Carbon Credits
State (which is any government or organization with monopoly in political power) holds immense power in discussions about sustainability. States are seen as one of the solutions to Collective Action Problems. The state has the power to create long-term interventions needed to build a more sustainable society.

Story Behind the Art: My name is K. Thidarat and I'm a full-time Thai government employee working in Bangkok. I love to design and craft the jewelry by myself. In 2003, my husband and I started a small business and opened a shop at the weekend market so we can make jewelry outside of our work time. I am happy when I see others appreciate my designs. This inspires me to make more beautiful jewelry. My designs are made by friends and family in Lamphun, the northern province of Thailand. My satisfaction comes from the pride of being able to create work and income for the people back home so that they can have a better life.

The plight of Over-the-Hill
When one hears or thinks of Over the Hill many negative connotations may come to one’s mind, however some of these preconceived notions are truly false about this famed area of New Providence. The area has an incredibly rich and vibrant history, with some of our nation’s leaders calling it home, including the likes of Sir Lynden Pindling, Dr. Cleveland Eneas, Sir Orville Turnquest, Paul Adderley and the current prime minister, Dr. Hubert Minnis. Clearly, Over the Hill has raised some of our country’s most precious gems.
Sadly the area hasn’t been maintained, with some of the original generations passing away, in addition to the younger generation opting to move out of the neighborhood to more affluent areas, never to return home.
Whenever most of us drive through these areas either taking shortcuts heading out of town or into the city, weaving through the various corners, we are sometimes oblivious to the surroundings, but we get an eyeful when the traffic is backed up. Some yards are filled with derelict vehicles, houses are boarded up and people old and young sit on porches.
Somewhere nestled among these sad surroundings you will spot a jewel of a home in the midst, painted and well maintained. It’s a pity that the whole area isn’t well maintained.
The activist Rev. C.B. Moss, who has become the voice of Bains Town and Grants Town, has put forth an amazing effort in bringing awareness and reminding us of the proud history of these neighborhoods through such channels as his television and radio show. Moss is relentless in his quest to inspire change and empowerment for the residents of this community. On many occasions, he challenges his audience to trivia which one would find interesting. Both Bains Town and Grants Town have been the nuclei of many grass roots organizations which spurred progressive change throughout our country. It’s a shame that areas of such importance appear to be spiralling into decay and absolute ruin.
I’m no stranger to these areas; as a youngster I lived through Fort Fincastle and Augusta Street, both areas on the very low end of the socioeconomic scale. Although my family was poor, I grew up with a deep appreciation of the plight many Bahamians still face today. I recall having to haul water from the nearest pump to cook and bathe. Another stark memory as a child was the lack of plumbing and the use of outdoor toilets. I remember the many water fights we had as boys at the water pump located on the top of the Queen’s Staircase. In all seriousness, here we are, almost 60 plus years later, and some Bahamians are still using outhouses. The government has promised to abolish the outside toilets by 2025.
Why so long? The majority of these houses without plumbing are owned by landlords who collect rent weekly from these poor souls. Most of them are living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Slum landlords must be held accountable and provide their tenants with the basic human needs, including standard plumbing and toilets. The ministry of works shall ensure proper inspections of homes prior to occupancy.
The Bahamas has one of the highest standards of living and yet we can’t provide our people with basic necessities of life; using these outside toilets poses a health risk, as all this waste goes into the water table, persons living close by are at high risk of well contamination. This is a ticking bomb with the clock counting down to a major health disaster. It’s high time we become proactive rather that reactive and fix this possible health threat before it affects us all.
There are many lots and homes that are abandoned and it is an incredibly arduous undertaking to determine who are the owners. The government needs a program to take over these properties and have homes built and either sold or leased to the residents of Bains Town and Grants Town. This is a step in the right direction. Sadly, community basketball courts are not enough. The people of The Bahamas need strategically placed community centers that offer progressive outreach programs, including education centers, to assist children throughout their educational endeavours.
To the residents in Bains Town and Grants Town and other inner city communities, I must to tell you that your political representatives have failed you repeatedly. It’s your time to hold them accountable!
Take responsibility for your community and demand the respect and standards that all Bahamian citizens deserve, regardless of race, creed or religion. It’s time to stop waiting for the government to do things for you; grab the bull by the horns and help yourselves.
As the adage goes, “If it’s to be then it’s up to me”.

Urban gardening, in its simplest definition, refers to gardening in an urban or city setting. This is different from conventional gardening in a typical setting, like at a farm, where the soil is healthy and fertile and gardening conditions, especially the space, are always conducive to your purpose.
In urban gardening, you will have to make do with the space readily available in the house you bought or apartment you have rented. So that means if you bought a house with a garden that\'s just the right size but is packed with shrubs, trees, and whatnots, you will need help with pruning your trees
to ensure they fit perfectly in your garden especially after you work on your various add-ons.
Objects and plants
Urban gardening can be fun, that is looking for quirky places for that little bit of space. Have you ever considered the use of a fire escape? Yes, it\'s been done so did a plant wall out of milk crates that surely are visually appealing, particularly if strawberries or other fruiting plant is included. You can buy garden statuary like an outsize clock to adorn a niche in your small garden or station a bike with overflowing beautiful blossoms in its basket.
Exciting urban gardening ideas have come our way like hanging a plant through a Japanese technology called kodedama or \"moss ball.\" With this, you will be removing the root system of a plant while dousing its lower half or wrapping it, so to speak, in moss and mud, after which, it is tied with a string. It\'s an interesting and arresting look in a kitchen or living room; weirdly eye-catching that generated much business.
Now if you\'re wishing to free up space by having some grown trees removed from your garden, then you would do well to call a company offering tree removal Sydney and have the experts do it the right way.
It\'s common knowledge that, unless you\'re filthy rich, most houses in the city or urban setting are modestly sized. Hence, you can\'t expect a large garden attached to a small house. So if you love gardening but is saddled with little space, getlopped.com.au might help you understand why urban gardening will work for you.
Front yard, backyard, whichever a home owner is willing to share, an urban farmer is just grateful. This became the idea that paved the way for people to reconnect again through the use of land. There\'s a grower but no garden, there\'s a homeowner with a lawn that could be turn into a vegetable plot or just too busy to create the garden. It\'s a marriage of gardener and owner with the latter getting half of the produce. The program, Sharing Backyards, was started in 2009; a website
where people meet- the \"green thumb\" growers and the \"brown thumbs,\" who owns the land. It is one among urban gardening ideas that opened opportunities for people to get to know each other and now are not only neighbors but friends.
So if you think you\'re up for some urban gardening but don\'t have the space to work with, find some helpful information
online on how tree removal can help you free up space and achieve the garden you want.

Scalping Inauguration tickets on eBay and Craigslist may soon be a thing of the past. While tickets to the event are made available to the public for free, many sellers attempt to make a profit from inauguration tickets by selling them through online marketplaces like eBay and Craigslist. However, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, who just happens to be chair of the Congressional Inaugural Committee, wants ticket scalping of this event stopped immediately.
“eBay and Craigslist are doing the right thing in stopping the sale of scalped tickets to one of our nation’s most sacred events,” Schumer said in a statement. “I hope that everyone who has an Inaugural ticket will think twice before posting these tickets on any ticket resale site.”
Inauguration tickets are typically made available to the public through the offices of U.S. Senators and Representatives. Although not meant for resale, these tickets can easily resell for hundreds to thousands of dollars on eBay and Craigslist, making them very sought-after for online sellers. Even anti-counterfeiting measures have been put in place to help reduce the problem of fake tickets being produced.
StubHub, one of the leading online marketplaces for buying and selling tickets, has already blocked its users from reselling inauguration tickets.
What do you think of ban on Inauguration tickets? Fair or unfair?

EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bionovo Inc. (Nasdaq: BNVI) today announced the publication of results from a study demonstrating the three distinct classes of genes regulated by estrogen receptor beta (ERB). The results are published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. This is an important discovery for future development of selective drugs regulating this pathway.
"Finding ways to prevent breast cancer requires a greater understanding of how the two estrogen receptors work. When ERa is activated by estrogens it results in an increased risk for breast and uterine cancer. The other estrogen receptor, ERB, counteracts the cancer promoting property of ERa in breast cancer cells suggesting that drugs that activate ERB might prevent cancers," said Dr. Dale Leitman, M.D., Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley and Bionovo's Scientific Advisory Board Member. "This study identifies genes that are regulated by ERB. We found these genes are regulated by a different mechanism than ERa. These results are important step towards discovering ERB selective compounds that may regulate genes that block the cancer promoting effects of ERa."
Dr. Leitman continued, "Estrogens have been used extensively to treat various indications in women's health including menopausal symptoms. Unfortunately estrogens also result in significant increased risk for cancer, stroke and clotting events. Estrogen's effect is mediated by interacting with both estrogen receptors and regulating genes along both receptors' paths. Our current study shows that the presence of estrogen is obligatory for regulating genes with ERa but it is not required for ERB. The result is that ERB regulates three classes of genes. The first class is genes regulated by ERB alone, the second is genes regulated by ERB and estrogen and the third class is genes regulated by both ERB alone and ERB and estrogen. We also show that the mechanism involved is not singular and involves different cellular molecules critical for this selectivity. By determining how ERB regulates genes distinct from ERa it should become possible to target drugs that regulate only a subset of genes, which would be more selective and likely safer than the current estrogens used clinically that regulate both ERa and ERB similarly."
"Bionovo's mission to discover and develop unique drugs for women's health and cancer is further enriched by the discovery of the unique classes of genes regulated by ERB. We now know we can selectively regulate via the ERB genes similar to estrogen as well as enhance the activity of genes regulated independently by ERB. This opens the door for new cancer preventive drugs and inflammatory diseases afflicting women far more than men. It also further elucidates the potential need for multiple compounds pharmacologically causing gene activation of various classes of genes along a single path."
The article is entitled, "Estrogen Receptor Beta Binds to and Regulates Three Distinct Classes of Target Genes," and is available at the Journal of Biological Chemistry website and at http://bionovo.com/investors/publications.
Menerba is an oral botanical drug candidate designed for the safe, effective treatment of vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) associated with menopause. Menerba is an estrogen receptor beta (ERB) selective drug developed as an alternative to the products currently on the market, which have been shown to increase the risk for breast and uterine cancers. It has been shown that the increased risk of breast and uterine cancers is associated with activation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERa) and that activation of estrogen receptor beta (ERB) blocks the growth promoting effects on breast cancer cells. Bionovo recognized the opportunity to commercialize a product that would be as effective as hormone therapy, without the health risks. Menerba has completed a Phase 2 trial with positive results for efficacy and has been evaluated by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board and passed through a standard two-round examination for safety.

(EXCLUSIVE) Sean Kingston Pleads w/ Judge To Throw Out Lawsuit Over Unpaid Jewelry Bill: My mansion was robbed!
Sean Kingston Pleas w/ Judge To Throw Out Lawsuit
theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports Sean Kingston is pleading with a judge to vacate a $344k default judgement he was hit with over an unpaid jewelry bill. The 27-year-old artist is arguing that the recent burglary on his L.A. home has taken up his time and he has even had to relocate after the incident.
Here’s the latest: On June 2nd, Sean Kingston headed to court demanding the default judgement be vacated and thrown out. He claims he was never served with the lawsuit, pointing out that the process server apparently showed up to a home that he’s never lived at.
Further, Kingston says that he never knew about the case. He even blames the recent burglary at his Los Angeles home for his failure to respond, saying he had to relocate following the incident and has been busy.
He is demanding the judge toss the default judgement and dismiss the entire lawsuit, arguing he has no ties to Florida and the jeweler filed in the wrong state.
Here’s the backstory: Florida-based Haimov Jewelers sued the singer/rapper accusing him of screwing them out of $44k by refusing to pay for items they loaned him.
The company said they allowed Kingston to take a Rolex and diamond bracelet from their store, due to his promise he would pay the bill the next day. He never showed up and despite numerous demand he blew off the jeweler.
They sued demanding $44k+ in damages for the unpaid bill. Earlier this year, the judge granted the jewelers motion for a default judgement in the amount of $314,138.22. He stated the rapper was properly served with the legal docs and failed to respond.
The default judgement was higher than the original $44k number due to the judge tacking on retroactive interest to the damages.

At a basic usage level depends is super simple to operate, just load depends and do a file open on the binary file that you are having issues with. When the file opens up you should see something similar to what I’m showing below.
This example I just did using by using notepad.exe. In the top-left pane you can see the tree structure of all the dependent assemblies of notepad. In the middle pane you can see more detailed information about all of the items in the dependency tree. And in the bottom you can see any errors that popped up during analysis. As you can see, some errors are benign as I currently have a possible error in notepad.exe but it runs just fine. Another benign example is that MSJAVA.dll often shows up as missing in the dependency tree but the application will run just fine without it.
So we’ve seen what depends looks like when a binary with all its binaries is correctly added. So what types of errors and mistakes can depends help you to find? Here is a quick list of the ways that I’ve used depends or seen depends used:
1. As a quick way to check the architecture of a binary
2. CRT side by side issues for msvcr80.dll
3. Discovering that a driver was linking in user mode code (a big no-no)
4. Checking the timestamps of dependent files
5. Checking to see what version of a dependent file is being loaded
So if you are running into initialization or dependency issue with your native or managed applications give depends a try to see what you turn up.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- While the Kansas City Royals have won their seven previous series, they will need a victory Wednesday over the New York Yankees to make it eight straight.
The Yankees topped the Royals 5-4 in 10 innings Tuesday night as the two teams have split the first two games of the series. Not only did the game go an extra inning, there was a 59-minute rain delay after the fifth.
The Royals had Raul Mondesi and Jarrod Dyson, their two fastest runners, in scoring position with none out in the 10th but failed to score.
Will it be difficult for the Royals to shake off such a defeat?
"What these guys did they fought to the bitter end," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "It was a game we were down 4-to-nothing, battled back, tied the ball game under horrible conditions. It just wouldn't stop raining from the fifth inning on. We had the go-around run on second base. We just couldn't get it in.
"That's a game, where you battle your tail off. You end up don't winning, so OK. You come back tomorrow and find a way to win. It's as simple as that."
The Royals and Yankees had a fierce rivalry from the mid-1970s through the early 1980s. They met four times in the postseason with the Royals winning only once, 1980. With both teams competing for a postseason berth this season, that rivalry has been rekindled.
"I think it's always exciting," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You're talking about the team that won the World Series last year. It goes back years ago, with George Brett and all those guys. I think it is fun."
Yankees rookie right-hander Luis Cessa will make his third start in the series finale Wednesday. Cessa became the second Yankees pitcher since 2004 to win each of his first two career starts, joining Shane Greene, who won on July 7 and July 12, 2014. Cessa has defeated the Angels and Orioles in his first two starts.
Cessa, who will be making his 11th career appearance, is 4-0 with a 4.11 ERA. A dozen of the 15 runs he has allowed have scored on seven home runs -- four with the bases empty and a trio of three-run shots -- in 30 2/3 innings.
This is Cessa's fourth stint with the Yankees as he was recalled Aug. 11. He made the Opening Day roster as a reliever and made his major league debut on April 8, allowing a run in two innings at Detroit. He went 6-3 with a 3.03 ERA in ERA in 15 games, 14 of them starts, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Right-hander Ian Kennedy will start for the Royals. Kennedy is 3-0 with a 1.11 ERA in August, allowing four earned runs in 32 1/3 innings. Kennedy has allowed two runs or less in his past six starts.
Kennedy was a Yankees 2006 first-round draft pick and made his major league debut with them in 2007 before being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks after the 2009 season. He is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two career appearances against the Yankees. He lost 7-3 on May 12 at Yankee Stadium.
Jacoby Ellsbury, who had four hits and drove in the winning run in the 10th inning Tuesday, is a career .355, 65-for-183, against the Royals.

International Details - Good Start for Martial Artist Mutants
April 1st, 2007
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started its international run this past weekend and just missed the top five on debut.
It did manage $3.92 million on 1,004 screens in 8 markets over the weekend and $4.53 million including previews.
Of this box office, nearly half of it came from a pair of third place openings in England ($1.27 million on 368 screens over the weekend and $1.86 million in total), and Australia ($379,000 on 58 screens).
The film also opened in Russia where the strong mutant demographic helped the film capture second place with $1.38 million on 360 screens.
(That was a Chernobyl joke, by the way.)
- It was a milestone weekend for Night at the Museum as it crossed $300 million internationally. I think there were a lot of people who didn't think this film would make half that much worldwide, so this is one of the biggest surprises of the year. Over the weekend, the film added $3.81 million on 1,624 screens in 10 markets for a total of $301.83 million. This includes a repeat performance on top of the Japanese charts with just under $3.00 million on 566 screens for a total of $12.44 million. On the other hand, that was a 41% drop-off from its opening last week, and that is high for the market.
- The Number 23 returned to the charts with $3.56 million on 988 screens in 18 markets for a total of $18.35 million. The film opened in two major markets but stumbled in both, earning third in South Korea with $1.13 million on 170 screens over the weekend and $1.31 million in total while it placed fourth in Germany with $706,000 on 209 screens.
- Wild Hogs slipped to ninth place with $2.98 million on 594 screens in 7 markets for a very early total of $11.26 million. Even more impressive, almost all of that came from holdovers like Australia where the film remained in first place, down just 14% to $1.79 million on 291 screens for a total of $8.13 million.
- Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure Into The Underworld climbed into second place in Japan and 10th place internationally with $2.64 million on 331 screens over the weekend and $14.67 million in total.
- Epic Movie added $2.61 million on 1203 screens in 13 markets for a total of $28.33 million internationally.
- Il 7 E L'8 climbed 20% in Italy over the weekend earning $2.34 million on 304 screens for a total of $5.13 million after two weeks. This was enough to place second in Italy and 12th internationally.
- Déjà vu also saw considerable growth this weekend climbing into 13th place with $2.22 million on 855 screens in 6 markets for a total of $111.42 million. This growth was thanks to the film's opening in China, the last market in its international tour; there it took in $1.3 million on 200 screens, but a placing was not known.
- Unfair: The Movie slipped a spot to third in Japan with $2.14 million on 260 screens for a total of $9.51 million after two weeks.
- Perfume: The Story of a Murderer returned to the charts thanks to its second place opening in South Korea. There the film earned $1.77 million on 232 screens over the weekend and $2.04 million in total. Overall it made $2.09 million on 532 screens in 8 markets for an international total of $125.11 million, which is miles ahead of the mere $2.22 million it managed here.
- La Vie En Rose added $2.08 million on 971 screens in 8 markets to its total of $44.63 million. Of that total, $39.25 million has come from France, including $1.45 million on 641 screens this past weekend.
- It was a record-breaking debut for Mr. Bean's Holiday. The film opened officially in just two markets, Singapore with $1.1 million on 43 screens and Malaysia with $740,000 on 49. Both of those were opening weekend records for comedies in the respective markets. That's not enough to reach the top five, or even the top ten, but the film also had its previews in the U.K. scoring an amazing $3.6 million on 478 screens on Saturday's previews, but that won't be officially counted till its opening this weekend.
- Hot Fuzz added $1.80 million on 550 screens in 3 markets to its total of $42.33 million. So far the film has only opened in the three English-speaking international markets, but has earned big numbers from all three. The biggest numbers have come from the U.K., obviously, where it has made $39.38 million including $818,000 on 363 screens this past weekend.
- Premonition added two markets, the Philippines and Taiwan, but box office data for those were not released. We do know the film remained in second place in the U.K. with $1.44 million on 356 screens over the weekend for a total of $4.70 million while its made $1.75 million on 439 screens in 3 markets over the weekend and $5.06 million in total.
- Namastey London is the latest Bollywood film to chart as it took in $1.73 million on 573 screens in 17 markets during its opening. This includes $469,000 on 42 screens in the U.K. where it was able to open in ninth place.
- Neues Vom Wixxer remained in first place in Germany while it slipped to 21st internationally. Overall it added $17.2 million on 657 screens in 2 markets for a total of $4.43 million.
- The Lives of Others slipped a spot to 22nd with $1.67 million on 553 screens in 14 markets for a total of $34.58 million.
- Ho Voglia Di Te had one of the worst performances on the charts this week falling 56% and 16 places. It fell from first to fourth in Italy with $1.64 million on 390 screens for a total of $18.37 million internationally.
- The Holiday returned to the charts in 24th place with $1.56 million on 357 screens in 9 markets for a total of $130.98 million. Most of that came from the film's fourth place, $1.49 million opening on 277 screens in Japan. That was just over the $5000 per screen average that usually leads to strong legs in that market, and if that is the case here, it could hit $200 million worldwide.
- Arthur And The Invisibles also returned to the charts pulling in $1.44 million on 1265 screens in 17 markets for a total of $90.02 million. Russia was the big market this past weekend where the film managed fourth with $612,000 on 279 screens while it has yet to open in a select number of markets and should cross $100 million internationally before too long.
- Hannibal Rising took a tumble down more than 10 places to 26th with $1.40 million on 885 screens in 18 markets for a total of $43.81 million. The film was again led by Spain, despite losing nearly half of its opening there this weekend. It was still able to add $906,000 on 325 screens for a total of $3.09 million.
- The Pursuit Of Happyness has nearly fallen out of the charts down to 27th place with $1.37 million on 1189 screens in 47 markets for a total of $139.74 million internationally.
- Curse Of The Golden Flower added $1.27 million on 432 screens in 6 markets to its international total of $55.67 million.
- The French film, Taxi 4, had the worst week-to-week performance on the charts plummeting 69% while falling from 6th place to 29th. On the other hand, the film sill added $1.24 million on 768 screens in 7 markets to its total of $51.73 million, which is more that enough to make the studio happy.
- Because I Said So landed on the charts for the first time placing 30th with $1.23 million on 384 screens in 5 markets for an early international total of $3.56 million. Most of the weekend's total came from Italy where the film struggled in sixth place with $721,000 on 219 screens.
- Bridge to Terabithia was in a virtual tie for 30th place as it also pulled in $1.23 million on 1061 screens in 15 markets for a total of $15.34 million. The film's best market of the weekend was Spain where it placed sixth in its fourth weekend of release with $470,000 on 294 screens for a total of $4.58 million. If it can repeat this performance when it opens in France this weekend, it could have a strong international run.
- Shooter started its international run in Brazil earning $285,000 on 105 screens.
- Reign Over Me also struggled in its first international market making just $222,000 on 56 screens in Australia.
