Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is a country that is well-known for its tea production. In fact, tea is one of the country's main exports and is a major source of income for many Sri Lankan families. Sri Lankan tea is prized for its bold and robust flavor, as well as its strong and distinctive aroma.
Tea is grown and produced in several different regions of Sri Lanka, each with its own unique flavor profile. The high-altitude regions of Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula are known for producing teas with a delicate and floral flavor, while the low-altitude regions of Uva and Ruhuna produce teas with a stronger and more robust flavor.
Sri Lankan tea is graded based on the size and quality of the leaves. The highest grades are known as "orange pekoe" and are made from the youngest and most tender leaves, while lower grades are made from larger and more mature leaves.

Attendees can look forward to an even larger product range at this year’s CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF, the world’s largest trade fair for mobile homes and RVs.
Occupying halls nine to 17, including five and 7.0, at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany, CARAVAN SALON 2014 takes place from Aug. 30 – Sept. 7.
“In recent years, the exhibiting companies have asked us to adapt the hall structure according to the increased demand. Messe Düsseldorf as the organizer, and the German Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD) as the conceptual sponsor are now complying with this request,” explained Stefan Koschke, director, CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF.
Providing a trade visitor day on Aug. 29, the event also features 580 exhibitors showing mobile homes and RVs in all price categories, basic vehicles, accessories and extension elements as well as tents, camping sites and mobile home parking facilities along with travel destinations.
CARAVAN SALON will present around 1,900 leisure vehicles in all sizes and variations with many different layouts and individually arranged interiors; in Düsseldorf, everything that the market has to offer will be on show. Tried-and-tested layouts and classic vehicles will be on display, which are just as popular as the new models and production series for the coming season. In Düsseldorf, the manufacturers of 130 RV and mobile home brands will present a large range of world innovations and new products. A particular focus this year will be on chassis manufacturers. The new basic vehicles impress through further developments in terms of optical, functional and technical perfection.
New products are expected in the compact mobile home sector. Whether it is for two or four people, the box-type and semi-integrated camper vehicle categories have been registering enormous growth for several years. With clever solutions, the manufacturers are now working especially on overcoming the lack of space due to compact vehicle dimensions. An increasing number of larger mobile homes are adhering to the 3.5 tons limit without economizing on comfort, offering a high degree of agility in road traffic and are thus also suitable for everyday use. Fuel-saving innovations, lightweight design and compact dimensions also continue to play an important role.
The smallest and simplest RV for two people will be available at CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF 2014 starting at around Euro 7.000. For larger budgets, the trade fair will have compact vans and camping busses while families will appreciate the large selection of family RVs and alcove mobile homes. The options among the luxury mobile homes, which are individually produced to customer specifications, are almost limitless. The RV sector also continues with its efforts in becoming even more environmentally friendly. Modern components ensure savings in the vehicles’ energy consumption and reduce emissions.
In addition to an information stand, the German Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD) will be represented once again with a special show. With the title “Golden October,” it will include several experience and activity stations with the opportunity to wins prices.
Many RV enthusiasts enjoy spending their leisure time by, on and in the water. This year, CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF will present possibilities for combining RVing and water sports. At the specially set up water landscape, visitors can try out canoes, kayaks and Canadian canoes.
An informative ancillary program, consisting of the Dream Tours cinema showing unique travel destinations, the Adventure Camp organized by the Dusseldorf Sports Clubs Federation and the vintage car exhibition, will complement the exhibits.
Many of the RV fans will travel to the event in their own vehicles, with about 60,000 attendees spending the night in their RVs or mobile homes at the Caravan Center offering more than 3,500 serviced and non-serviced parking spaces.
As in the past, the hiking and trekking trade fair TourNatur will again be held parallel with CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF from Sept. 5 – 7. Hiking enthusiasts will get up-to-date information on the most beautiful hiking destinations and the latest hiking and trekking equipment in two halls. A total of 275 exhibitors will present about 5,000 travel destinations while independent hiking experts will offer tips for planning tours. Only one entrance pass is necessary to visit both CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF and TourNatur.

Even though there are numerous options to choose from when we’re talking about social media, Instagram is easily the most popular one. Many statistics confirm this claim of ours. According to one of them, this social media has one million daily active users, which is significantly more than any other.
In a couple of years, Instagram’s popularity will become unrivaled. Not only that this is a great platform for basic users, but we can also see that it offers a plethora of options for brands and businesses. So, it’s no surprise that pretty much all the biggest brands in the world have a business account.
There are so many of these features to try out, that many are still undiscovered by a majority of the users. That’s why we would like to provide you with a couple of hidden features and hacks that can help you realize the platform’s full potential. Let’s check some of these.
The first thing we would like to talk about is filters. Sure, we are aware of the fact that this is among the best-known features. However, we are certain that a majority of users out there are not fully aware of just how intensive some of them are. For instance, you can see that many people use them too much.
Not being able to control the intensity leads to some results that are simply not satisfying enough. Thankfully, the developers have made it possible for users to have much efficient control. A couple of years ago, we can see that this simply wasn’t the case.
In the last couple of years, the opportunity to make story GIFs has appeared. Still, for some reason finding some high-quality ones is quite hard to do. Not to mention that creating one of these on your own can be quite challenging. Just imagine how you can boost engagement with one of these.
But, for you to find a quality story GIF, the search needs to be as detailed as possible. Besides that, it is important that you exactly know what you want to receive. You can access these by visiting a sticker function and selecting a GIF option. Try a couple of keywords before you find the best one.
Among the most efficient ways to promote your business or brand on this platform, you will find story links. The links on the posts are simply not as effective as users would like them to be. Thankfully, putting a link on your stories will not reach as many people as possible, but they will access it easier.
The best way to describe this feature is to say that this is some sort of call to action. With that in mind, you can presume how many users out there will click on that particular link. Adding a link is an easy thing to do, you can find it by visiting a paperclip icon when you’re about to share the story.
You will certainly agree with the fact that Instagram stories are probably the best feature on this platform. We can see that numerous platforms out there have added this function. But they are simply not as efficient as this one is, right? Still, this is a great way for users to express their creativity.
Maybe some of your friends will have some great things to present to the public. In some situations, it is possible that someone would want to download these stories. If you want to take a look at a website that will help you to download these much easier, be sure to take a look at Toolzu.
When someone has millions of followers on Instagram, responding to all the messages can be quite a hard thing to do. Just think about it, there are many people out there who would want your opinion on a certain topic. Not responding to these messages can potentially leave a lot of them disappointed.
Responding to all of these messages is certainly significant, especially when you have a business account. Sometimes, providing a proper response can mean that you will sell your product or service. Thankfully, Instagram can provide you with a feature that will help you to respond to all of these easily.
Adding some texts to a post or a story is a great option. Surely, you know that it is possible to add it whenever you want on the screen. It needs to be said that you can add as much text as you want, as much as it can, to be precise. There are a couple of fonts you can choose from.
We’re talking about modern, typewriter, classic, strong, and neon. All of these fonts fit into the specific surrounding. Besides that, it is possible to choose from a wide array of different colors. Once again, we would like to stress out that they should fit right into the surrounding.
The final feature we want to talk about is the potential color customization. Obviously, you can use this feature for whatever posts you want. Sometimes, this customization is used to highlight the context of the text. On the other side, there’s always a possibility that this will shine a whole new light on it.
Since we’re talking about color customization, it means you can combine a wide array of different colors and turn them into one. Therefore, there’s a lot of room for creative people. So, we would like to recommend you start using color customization whenever you have the chance to do it.
The Bottom Line
Instagram is a place that can turn any of your ideas into truth. But, it is only possible if you learn about all the potential features and hacks out there. Here, you can check some of the most popular ones. Having an insight into all of these will help you to use them more efficiently. We are sure you will find all of them useful.


Most Canadians generally support most types of major infrastructure projects, but support for local projects remains significantly lower, according to a new poll on NIMBYism.
The aim of the national tracking survey, conducted by Innovative Research Group, is to take Canadians' temperatures on major infrastructure – and particularly energy infrastructure – projects, comparing and contrasting their support for projects both locally and elsewhere in their provinces.
It found 59 per cent of people polled generally support more projects than they oppose, while only 15 per cent oppose more than they support.
"I was really surprised when I first got into this to find out most things are approved by most people most of the time," said Innovative's president, Greg Lyle. "That sort of knocked me back, because the only time that I would tend to be hired, or hear about something, is with a project that was not going well. I sort of had the assumption most projects were opposed most of the time, and that just isn't true."
When it came to local projects, however, the figures dropped to 45 per cent supporting more than they oppose and 27 per cent opposing more than they support. Alberta (minus Calgary) and Saskatchewan had the highest tendency to support projects provincially, at 73 and 70 per cent net support respectively, while Quebec (minus Montreal) and Vancouver Island were least likely to support such projects, at 35 and 34 per cent net support respectively.
B.C.'s interior and north had 58 per cent net support for projects in the province, B.C.'s Lower Mainland 39 per cent and Toronto 36 per cent.
The projects ranged from wind farms and hydro power from dams to pipelines and nuclear plants.
Doug McArthur, public policy professor at Simon Fraser University, said support generally tends to be stronger in regions where people see themselves as the major economic beneficiaries of these projects – particularly when the projects aren't developed in their communities.
"The negatives tend to arise when people see these projects as having major effects on them, potentially," he said. "They're afraid of them to some degree."
However, he called it "a bit problematic" to label this reluctance as NIMBYism.
"NIMBYism is generally associated with when fairly privileged people don't want to have their amenities affected by these kinds of things and so want to see them shifted off to other places," Mr. McArthur said. "Where people have concerns, these are people who have very real environmental and other socio-economic concerns. I think that's where you see the opposition rise, where people feel, 'Hey, we don't really trust these projects.' "
While 42 per cent of respondents said they support projects in their province but not in their communities – in other words, are NIMBYs – that figure has dropped since the first few years of the survey, which began in 2007 and had some degrees of NIMBYism as high as 50 per cent, the poll found.
This suggests it has, in recent years, gotten "a little bit easier, not a little bit tougher" to move forward with major infrastructure projects – if they are presented and managed properly and there is proper consultation, Mr. Lyle said.
"When you look at a particular project, you end up with some people that support it, some people that are opposed and most people are what we call the persuadable public – people who want to hear the details," he said.
If a proponent can satisfactorily answer questions including "why" and "why here," treat people fairly and minimize both the number of people affected and the impact on said people, most projects have a good likelihood of being built, Mr. Lyle said.
Mr. McArthur noted there is more trust in some regions and provinces than others. The challenge for proponents, he says, is to make it believable that they will not proceed with major projects should strong opposition arise during the consultation process.
"For instance, my sense of Vancouver Island and coastal B.C. is that people just don't really believe governments and companies are sincere when they say, 'Oh, we'll consult with you and we won't build it if it proves to be to your detriment,' " he said.
The survey of 2,251 adult Canadians was conducted online between Oct. 28 and Nov. 13 using Innovative's national research panel. The final weighted sample was 1,500.

Gifted power over life and death, Lysandros has spent millennia in the underworld, listless and alone. The youngest child of Hades and Persephone, he’s been sheltered from the threats in the world above.
Theo Ward hasn’t been so lucky. After watching his mother wither away, he’d do almost anything to have her back. When a messenger appears at the Banneker College of Magic and offers the young professor a chance to save her, Theo can’t pass it up, even if it means going straight into the underworld and dragging her home. But Theo gets more than he bargained for when he crosses paths with the prince of Hades.
Set against the king of Olympus, they must shed their past burdens and learn to trust in each other, so they can face down a storm that threatens to wipe the nation’s capital off the map.
I had a lot of fun reading this story. I have loved Greek mythology since childhood and I loved the unique take on these legends. There are a lot of secondary characters in this story but lucky there is a glossary at the end of the book. The relationship and romance between the two main characters, Theo and Lysandros, while hot and steamy, it did feel a bit rushed. The characters and story were very well written so I can forgive the fast-paced romance. This book was very entertaining and enjoyable.
I highly recommend to all who are fans of mythology!!

Workshop #1: Banjo Workshop with Alan Munde: Phonetics of Bluegrass Banjo - A large part of bluegrass banjo is made up of roll patterns.

Our national galleries and museums are warning of 'impasse' after years of neglect
Australia’s current funding model is failing our nation’s cultural institutions and putting our national cultural identity at risk.
Our members are calling for a new national cultural policy that urgently addresses critical issues that are failing our cultural and creative sector.
Decades of funding uncertainty, budget cuts, job insecurity, and politicisation have damaged our nation’s capacity to promote, preserve, and build participation in our nation’s cultural and creative identity.
It's time for a new, fit for purpose funding model
Your union has long advocated for you and the vital work you do at our precious cultural institutions.
Based on member feedback, our recent submission on a new National Cultural Policy calls for:
- exempting National Cultural Institutions (NCIs) from the efficiency dividend and working with the CPSU on a fit for purpose funding model,
- reversing the damage of staffing cuts,
- the need to fund capital works, and
- more than one-off funding supplementations.
Here’s where you can make a difference
It is important for all workers in our National Cultural Institutions to endorse the call for a new, fit for purpose funding model and contribute to the effort to improve cultural institutions and ensure a sustainable funding and staffing model.


The attack on the Andahuaylas police station occurred on January 1, 2005. According to Antauro Humala, its objective was for President Alejandro Toledo to resign and leave the can. Find out more details in the following report.

After turning 17 years, 7 months and 14 days in prison, Antauro Humala was released. The ethnocacerist was serving the last stage of his 19-year sentence in the Ancón II prison for the 'Andahuaylazo', which left four policemen dead.
The attack on the police station occurred on January 1, 2005, but since December 2004, the reports of the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of the Interior (Digimin) already warned about the initial movements of Humala's ethnocacerist reservists in the city of Andahuaylas (Apurímac).
At that time, the office of then Interior Minister Javier Reátegui ignored the warnings until it was too late.
Taking advantage of the celebrations for the new year. At around 4:30 a.m., a group of reservists led by Humala, then a major in the Army, broke in and took over the Andahuaylas police headquarters; as well as the weapons, ammunition and explosives that were lying there. There were about 150 ethnocacerists, according to reports from the time.
According to Antauro Humala, his objective was for President Alejandro Toledo to resign and leave power. In addition, he assured that the action was a response to the bad economic policy of the Government and the measure of retirement of many officers of the Armed Forces.
This tragic episode ended with several injuries and six deaths: four policemen stationed in the area and two ethnocacerists.
Antauro owes more than S/.4 millions to victims of the 'Andahuaylazo'
During the assault on the police station on January 1, 5 policemen were injured, 2 reservists and 17 officers were taken hostage. In addition, they took possession of their weapons. The Andahuaylas police station had 80 police officers, but due to the festivities only about ten were on duty. The rest were frank.
Toledo, who was at his home in Punta Sal (Tumbes) when the events occurred, returned to Lima and called a Council of Ministers. After that, he declared a State of Emergency in Apurimac for 30 days and ordered the dispatch of more than 300 agents from the Directorate of Special Police Operations (Diroes).
“It is necessary to establish that the aforementioned acts constitute acts of terror aimed at causing a state of disturbance of internal order”, was indicated in Supreme Decree No. 001-2005 -PCM, published in an extraordinary way in El Peruano.
However, during the second day of the crisis (January 2) the violence continued with the murder of four policemen in an ambush near the police station.
It was a patrol from the Green Squadron, which had arrived as part of the reinforcements assigned to the area, it was attacked and the following were killed: PNP Captain Carlos Cahuana (30), Lieutenant Luis Chávez (29), Second Warrant Officer Ricardo Rivera (41) and Third Warrant Officer Abelardo Cerrón (39).
Deudos del Andahuaylazo.
In addition, 200 Humala supporters gathered at the National Hospital and prison to demand the release of wounded insurgents.
The next day, the On January 3, more than a thousand residents entered the Plaza de Armas with Antauro Humala in front. Everyone thought he was going to turn himself in, but he didn't. After meeting with PNP General Felix Murazzo, Antauro makes a triumphal walk to the police station.
Shots are fired along the way and a reservist is killed, while two of them and two civilians are wounded.
Humala was arrested at 10:30 p.m. of that day in the Municipality of Andahuaylas, when he negotiated his surrender together with the director of the police and representatives of the Ombudsman and the Public Ministry. The Government flatly rejected the terms that he had proposed.
The announcement of his capture was made during the early hours of the morning, at a press conference led by the then head of the Ministerial Cabinet, Carlos Ferrero.
< p itemprop="description" class="story-contents__font-paragraph">Despite Humala's capture, the assault on the police station did not end until January 4, when the ethnocacerist leader sent a letter and asked the 150 reservists taken the police station to lay down their weapons.
On September 16, 2009, the First Criminal Chamber with Inmates in Prison, presided over by the Judge Carmen Rojassi sentenced Antauro Humala to 25 years in prison for this case, with which it was estimated that he would be released in January 2030.
The sentence was read in the Lurigancho prison. Antauro Humala was found guilty of qualified homicide, theft of firearms, rebellion, kidnapping and other crimes against the State.
Also Daniel Ludeña and Tito Palomino were sentenced to 15 and 20 years, respectively.
In addition, the payment of a civil reparation of S/280,000 was ordered to each of the relatives of the victims and of S/100,000 jointly and severally to the State. An economic reparation was ordered for the policemen who were kidnapped.
Two years later, in September 2011, after an appeal by his defense, the Supreme Court reduced the sentence imposed against Humala from 25 to 19 years in prison, with which he would be released in 2024.
This is because his defense managed to change the crime of qualified homicide to that of simple. However, it was necessary for Judge Jorge Santa María to rule because there was a discrepancy among the judges about the length of the sentence to be applied in his case. The other two co-defendants were acquitted of the crime of homicide.
Controversies in prisonScandals in which Humala was involved
- < strong>4/17/2012 The Second Liquidating Criminal Chamber suspends the oral trial against Antauro Humala for alleged bribery of INPE personnel to obtain benefits. This is because, according to his lawyer, he was going through post-traumatic stress disorder that prevents him from coordinating his ideas.
- 29/5/2012 Two INPE officials confirmed that the Antauro-Nora Bruce (his partner) meeting was irregular. They affirmed it at the Naval Base before the court that judges the president's brother for alleged bribery.
- < li class="ql-align-justify">6/16/2013A video released by “Weekly Report” (Frecuencia Latina) revealed that Antauro Humala used a landline telephone number inside his detention center -the Virgen de las Mercedes military prison- through which he answered calls and made appointments as if he were in his own office.
- 16/2/2014 Antauro Humala was irregularly released from prison to cash a check at the National Bank of the Military School.
- 3/13/2014 General Ricardo Moncada was relieved of the position of General Commander of the Army, as he approved the irregular payment to Antauro for S/.70 thousand in gasoline accrued. The Ministry's attorney's office of Defense filed a complaint to annul the payment of S/.70 thousand to Antauro Humala.
- < li class="ql-align-justify">10/18/2019The head of INPE, César Cárdenas, reported that Antauro Humala violated security measures in the Virgen de la Merced prison (Chorrillos), but that the transfer of him and 14 other inmates to Ancón II was not a disciplinary action.   ;
However, the ethnocacerist was released thanks to INPE granting his request for redemption of sentence. The entity, dependent on the Ministry of Justice, resolved on Friday, August 19, 2022 that Humala would be released after considering that he had served his sentence under this figure requested on July 8 from the Ancón II prison address.
— INPE (@INPEgob) August 19, 2022
In this way, it was considered that Antauro Humala worked and studied during his internment for 3,667 days, which allows him to redeem his sentence in 1 year and 7 months.< /p>
Upon his release from prison, Antauro Humala made a statement to his followers who waited for hours for his release. The ethnocacerist said he felt “proud” of what he did in 2005 in Andahuaylas.
“We are outside again and I can tell you that we We all feel very proud of what we did in Andahuaylas. The courts have not yet, but the facts prove us right. Where are the presidents against whom we rebelled 17 years ago? [Alejandro] Toledo fugitive, prisoner, corrupt and thief. [Pedro Pablo] Kuczynski, who was a minister in Toledo during the 'Andahuaylazo', just the same,”, he said.

OTTAWA — Police are warning it could be “impossible” for law enforcement to get trained up in time for legal marijuana in July 2018.
Testifying at a House of Commons health committee Tuesday, police leaders expressed concerns about the Liberal government’s impending deadline to create a legal weed market. Organizations will need to know the new laws and regulations backwards and forwards before they can prepare their officers for duty, they said.

Mike Serr, deputy chief constable and chair of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police drug advisory committee, said the government should consider extending its deadline. “We ask that established legislative framework be put in place prior to legalization that will provide law enforcement with clear direction and assistance regarding funding and training,” he said.
The deputy commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police for investigation and organized crime, Rick Barnum, explained at least six or seven months of lead time would be necessary to ensure police forces are adequately prepared. For example, if a legal framework isn’t in place until July of next year, “it’s impossible” for officers to be ready by August, Barnum said.

Laser scientists’ new research could improve the treatment of the 5 million asthma sufferers in the UK
UK scientists have used a laser beam trap to examine how drug particles from asthma inhalers behave as they are projected through the air. Their findings could improve the effectiveness of inhalers for the over 5 million people in the UK suffering from asthma.
Over 73 million inhalers are used every year in the UK. By studying how the expelled drug particles might behave as they enter the human respiratory tract and travel into the lungs, this new research could lead to an improvement in the formulation of these drug delivery systems, increasing their effectiveness whilst reducing negative side effects.
Using the Octopus laser imaging facility at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Central Laser Facility, the scientists trapped individual solid particles of the drug salbutamol sulphate. They suspended them in air to test how they behave in conditions modelled to simulate those in the human respiratory system.
This is the first time that tests on these microscopic particles have been carried out in an environment that mimics their journey from inhaler to lung. Their research is published today (13 November 2014) in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal, Chemical Communications.
“The human respiratory tract is anatomically evolved to prevent particles being inhaled”, said Dr Peter Seville from the University of Birmingham’s School of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, one of the researchers on the project.Dr Andy Ward from the STFC Central Laser Facility explained, “We captured each particle by trapping it between two focused laser beams, and then tested its behaviour in different temperatures and levels of humidity. Our tests show how water is adsorbed by following changes in chemical bond vibrations. Usually such tests are done on a glass slide so this is the first time the particles have been tested while airborne, as they would be when travelling through the respiratory tract”
“To overcome the natural defence mechanisms of the body, complex delivery devices and extremely small drug particles are required. These particles are typically 2-5 micron in diameter, making them approximately a tenth of the width of a human hair. Any moisture that clings to the particles as they travel from inhaler to lung is likely to increase the particles’ size, and this may affect the site of particle deposition within the lung. It can result in the drug being deposited in a non-ideal site, giving rise to less effective treatment and potentially an increase in side effects.”
Using Raman spectroscopy techniques to measure the vibration and wavelength of light from molecules, the research team was able to provide a new method of studying the salbutamol sulphate as it exited from a commercially-available inhaler.
Lead investigator, Dr Francis Pope from the University of Birmingham, said,” This research could lead to more efficient inhalers to deliver drugs for respiratory problems. Our results will also inform pharmaceutical companies who may be looking to improve the chemical structure of the drug, increasing effectiveness whilst reducing negative side effects. We would not have been able to do this work without the unique capability of these lasers to capture and levitate particles, providing a new way to test the performance of the inhalers.”They discharged the inhaler into the optical laser trap, without changing the drug’s physical and chemical properties, captured a microscopic particle in air and recorded its size, shape and chemical signature to show evidence of any water adsorption. This all happened within a matter of seconds, closely replicating the time, relative humidity and trajectory of the particle in the lung.
These pressurised inhalers, which deliver a measured dose of drugs with each use, account for around 70% of inhaler sales in the UK, and are the most frequently used devices for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The research team comprised scientists from the Universities of Birmingham and Cambridge, Imperial College London and the STFC Central Laser Facility, based at the Research Complex at Harwell, Oxfordshire.
The research was funded by STFC, NERC and the European Research Council.

Every time a horrific national tragedy occurs involving the killing of school children or adults by the use of guns, the National Rifle Association immediately becomes the national whipping boy and the source for causation blame. Repeated finger pointing of responsibility at the NRA for its fierce defense of individual gun ownership relieves others in our country from their own responsibility for participating in, or enabling, the promotion of gun ownership and use in our society.
A 20-year-old man wearing black combat gear and armed with at least two handguns killed 26 people, 18 of them elementary school children in Newtown, Conn. a town approximately 65 miles north of New York City.
A member of one of the families of children in the school asked, "Who would do this to our poor little babies?" Beyond the specifics of the shooter, who also took his own life, the question is not just who, but also what and who in our society encourages and promotes the use of a gun as a reasonable choice to resolve an actual or perceived conflict with another person at their school, a place of work, worship, or public venue of entertainment?
The promotion and protection by the NRA of gun ownership and gun use under the Second Amendment has reached a point of near irrationality. Otherwise, how can we regard NRA lobbying in support of gun ownership as a serious good faith effort of public discourse, when Larry Pratt, its executive director, is reported to have said in response to the mass killing school children at the Newton, Conn., school:
Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to ensure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newton school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones.
This is prima facie evidence that the NRA operates in a parallel alternative universe detached from the 24/7 realities in which the rest of us live. Some of the stats of our reality are that every day guns kill at least 24 people in America. Over several weekends in Oakland, California and Chicago, just to name a few, more than 20 school age children are killed.
Most of these gun victims are African-Americans killed by other African-Americans, without the apparent wealth of suburban Newton, Conn, When these instances of gun violence occur, no flag at the nation's capital is flown at half-mast, and the president of the United States does not address the nation.
But it's not the NRA that is singularly or principally responsible for gun violence in our nation. Yes, it is an effective powerful lobby for gun ownership and the lawful use by individuals of guns in their homes. But other people and organizations also bear their share of culpability.
On more the one occasion I have said that violence lies like molten lava beneath the surface of society just waiting to erupt.
Why don't we as a society hold to greater account the manufacturers and distributors of the hardware and software promoting the violent gun use in the numerous video games that are watched and played by many of our children? Has any one thought about holding the producers and distributors to account for the many movies and TV episodes depicting and glorifying gun violence?
Has anyone publicly asked the financially successful rap artists who perform, produce or promote rap music -- which often celebrates masculinity and gunplay in the same breath?
Fifty years ago next year, August 28th, Rabbi Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish Congress, speaking at the at the foot of Lincoln Memorial in 1963, just before Dr. King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech said:
"When I was a rabbi of the Jewish community in Berlin under the Hitler regime, I learned many things. The most important thing that I learned under those tragic circumstances was that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful, and the most tragic problem is silence.
Probably the greatest deficiency on the issue of the use of guns, violence and the weekly killing fields occurring in many African-American and other communities across our country, is the deafening silence of leaders of religious groups and faith-based organizations in our nation today. Where are the Pastors Richard Warren, T. D. Jakes, Paula White and the leaders of the AME Church and Church of God in Christ, Jewish Synagogues, Catholic Archdioceses, Imams, etc.; why are they not urgently calling for a nation wide cessation of gun violence?
Martin Luther King, Jr would often say it not the evil deeds of our enemies we will most remember, it will be the silence of our "friends" in the face of such evil deeds.
We adults of this generation are trustees of our most precious collective assets: our children. We have a moral duty to protect them. The answer does not lie with President Obama seeking to be Commander in Chief of National Grieving. The answer is Us.
What are we, as nation, a collection of communities nationwide with millions of people, going to do about the continued use of guns for violent conflict resolution when non-violence is always an the option that should be encouraged? Again as Dr. King said: it either non-violence or non-existence.
Which option do we have the courage and strength to choose as a nation? Otherwise, how do we answer the poignant cry of "Who would do this to our poor little babies?" Unavoidably, the moral and political answer is: us.


Laurelhurst Community Club
Serving 2800 Households and Businesses in Seattle’s Laurelhurst Neighborhood
February 1, 2007
Miriam Muller and
Laurelhurst Neighbors concerned about the Playfield
RE: Continuing Disturbances at the Laurelhurst Playfield
Dear Miriam and Other Neighbors,
Thank you for your message yesterday regarding the fire pit at the Playfield. LCC takes great pride in its responsiveness to neighbors. Each year we address hundreds of calls and concerns from neighbors at monthly meetings and we do our best to help resolve the problem, answer questions, direct the neighbor(s) to the appropriate department or official who can resolve the issue, or take other appropriate follow up action. LCC always appreciates when neighbors take the time to attend the monthly trustee meetings. We were glad that you and your neighbors attended the January 8th meeting to express your concerns about the fire pit at the Playfield.
As you will recall from the January 8th meeting, the Board of Trustees supported the recommendation of the neighbors to remove the fire pit. At the meeting Royal Alley-Barnes presented her plan to have the fire pit removed within a few days and replaced with a portable unit. LCC suggested that the community center advisory group have an opportunity to weigh in on this decision. As mentioned at the meeting, it was anticipated that the handful of neighbors who serve on that group could be polled regarding the issue and plans for the fire pit removal could move forward.
It is unfortunate that none of the community center advisory members were able to attend the January 8th meeting to hear the discussion, although they were invited. The flyer you distributed to neighbors was provided to the community center coordinator to forward to members of that group prior to our meeting. The group received the five pages of “calls and concerns’ regarding disturbances at the Playfield that was distributed at the January 8th LCC meeting prior to their meeting on January 18th. As it turns out, that group does not support removal of the fire pit at the current time and they have asked for a formal public process to decide the fate of the fire pit. Draft notes of their January 18th meeting state:
“Discussion centered around the lack of public input, the uniqueness of the urban fire pit, the risk of uncontained fire at the Park, storage of a portable fire pit, and the decades-long history and tradition of the fire pit versus the illegal activity that has apparently increased in association with the temporary lack of access for police officers and the convenience of the fire pit for law breakers.”
The advisory council minutes do not reflect a discussion of the history of the fire pit and its current usage. LCC checked with the Laurelhurst historian who had no recollection of the fire pit installation. LCC’s past crime prevention representative indicated that the fire pit had been installed decades ago by the Girl Scouts and has been a constant source of problems, even prior to renovation of the community center. A current Troop leader has stated that the fire pit is not currently used by the Girl Scouts. Perhaps history of the fire pit and current usage can be addressed at the advisory council’s upcoming meeting, along with permitting issues and the impact of fires on global warming?
You asked about the provisions in the Seattle Municipal Code that govern the Parks Department and the reason for the second community meeting. We’ll respond to your questions, below, but first would like to point out LCC’s response to the concerns that you raised at the January 8th meeting.
LCC’s response to continuing concerns at the Playfield. As a result of continuing calls and concerns LCC has received about illegal activities at the Playfield and surrounding streets and the concerns expressed at the January 8th meeting, LCC developed a 15-point plan that is outlined in the January 23rd letter we wrote to North Precinct Officers, the SPD Crime Prevention Coordinator, Parks Department staff and the principal of Laurelhurst Elementary School. That plan calls for LCC to:
An article for the next edition of Laurelhurst News is in the works and the article will encourage neighbors to be diligent in crime reporting using the Playfield address. LCC has coordinated with the community center advisory council. LCC has approved and is in the process of getting “Drug-Free Zone” signage installed. LCC’s webmaster has already taken steps to add additional crime prevention information on LCC’s website (www.laurelhurstcc.com). We have already implemented many of the other items.
LCC especially appreciates your efforts in keeping neighbors informed about activity at the Playfield and your work in cooperation with the North Precinct. As a result of the problems at the Playfield, we hope you and your neighbors will participate in the Block Watch program.
Parks Public Involvement Policy: You asked about state and local laws that set forth the public process regarding removal of the fire pit. What we are aware is the Parks and Recreation Department’s formal public involvement policy. The policy applies to proposals to 1) acquire property, 2) initiate funded capital projects or 3) make changes to a park or facility. When it comes to the third component of the policy, the purpose statement in the policy says that it applies if the changes to the park will, in the judgment of the Parks Superintendent, substantially modify the property’s use or appearance. Once the public involvement policy is triggered, there are requirements for notifying the community through signage and in some cases a public meeting. It is unclear whether the policy applies to the situation of removing and/or replacing the fire pit. The policy is available at www.seattle.gov/parks/projects/public_involvement_policy.
Should the public involvement policy apply in the fire pit situation and a public meeting is held, notice is required to residents within a 300-foot radius of the park boundaries, community groups, user groups, Parks staff and others. It would seem that the hundred flyers you distributed in the vicinity of the Playfield, the email correspondence with your neighbors and those involved in crime prevention, LCC notice to community center advisory committee members and others would have met this requirement.
Regardless of whether the public involvement policy applies, it doesn’t mean that any citizen doesn’t have the right to ask for additional public process. In the case of a master use permit application through the Department of Planning and Development, the City must allow a public hearing if 50 citizens sign a petition. The Parks Department has no such restriction. Whether a public meeting is held is up to the Parks Superintendent. Or, any other group of neighbors, a community group such as LCC, or the community center advisory council may hold a public meeting.
In its role in advising the Parks Department, the community center advisory council may choose to hold a public meeting. There are no guidelines should the group choose to hold a public meeting. The Seattle Municipal Code does authorize the Parks Superintendent to provide information and assistance as necessary and appropriate to community center advisory councils. These advisory councils are a part of the Associated Recreation Council (ARC), an independent nonprofit group recognized by the Parks Department in the Seattle Municipal Code, SMC 18.04.010. Information about the ARC and its advisory councils is available at www.seattle.gov/Parks/Arc.
Why a second meeting? The community center advisory council has requested a public process and allotted time at its February 15th meeting to discuss the fire pit issue. Even if the meeting is not a formal requirement under the Public Involvement Policy, we hope you and your neighbors will attend to share your views once again. As you are aware, LCC publicized the meeting in its recent email message to neighbors.
There are many unanswered questions from the January 8th meeting. What are the options? Will completion of the community center renovation make it less likely that illegal activities at the Playfield continue? Should a phased-in approach to removal of the fire pit be considered, such as starting with removing the seating wall? What about moving the entire fire pit to a more public location? What would a portable fire pit look like? How much would it cost? Are funds available for an alternative fire pit?
Park Board involvement. In an email exchange that you forwarded, it was suggested by Parks staff that the Board of Park Commissioners address the fire pit issue. It is a surprise that this has been suggested as the Park Board generally deals with capital projects, city budget issues and broad public policy issues, such as the impact of SR 520 expansion of the Arboretum, the proposed citywide skatepark plan, Magnuson Park development, etc. The Park Board advises the Mayor, the City Council and the Parks Superintendent on parks matters and does hold public hearings at its meetings. As noted in the message you forwarded, this would extend the process regarding the fire pit by several months. Generally, the Parks Superintendent forwards matters for the Park Board to consider, but there is nothing in the Code that prevents citizens from requesting a review of park-related matters.
Thank you again for your message. LCC looks forward to working with you and your neighbors to resolve the Playfield issues.

The Sierra Club has filed a suit today against the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT over the Transmountain project that will widen that road from just east of the State Park entrance all the way to Interstate 10. The suit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas Austin Division.
The suit asks the court to find that the environmental assessment done by TxDOT was arbitrary and not done in accordance with the law. If the Court so finds, then Sierra Club is asking that the project be halted. Sierra Club says that a full environmental impact statement must be prepared before any construction starts. Such an impact study and statement can take over a year to complete. Sierra argues that the project as now defined will have a very negative impact on people and the environment.
The El Paso Times reported just last week that “Sundt Construction of Tucson has been selected by the Texas Department of Transportation to build the $61 million Loop 375 Trans Mountain West project on the West Side . . . “ The Times further reported that Sundt plans to break ground this month.
By the way, weren’t we told by City leaders that $85 million not $61 million was the cost of the project? These same leaders were so afraid of losing so much money for El Paso – or Tucson – or wherever. Still $61 million far exceeds the initial solution for the project - $15 million.
Know that this project is no mere widening of the road. It will create a 4 lane “freeway” from the State Park to I-10 with four additional frontage road lanes – two north and two south of this asphalt beast.
An earlier story by Chris Roberts published in the El Paso Times and still available online documents how decisions about the TxDOT project were made behind closed doors and prior to any public meetings. [Actually, Roberts’ key story was called “Bypassed” and chronicled how developers and TxDOT corresponded on design of the Transmountain Road project. That story is only available now through an online subscription process.] Roberts wrote:
“Emails obtained by the El Paso Times under a Texas Open Records Act request indicated that TxDOT officials worked closely with developers as they planned a strip of big-box stores on Trans Mountain near I-10. And when public meetings were held in February, ‘plans for Transmountain had long been completed,’ according to an email Texas Transportation Commissioner Ted Houghton sent to a City Council member.”
The mere fact that the public was cut out of the process and that public hearings were mere window dressing, gives added fuel to the support of the Sierra lawsuit.
Lawsuits cost money and this one needs your support. A Legal Defense Fund has been set-up to support the lawsuit. If you wish to contribute, make your check payable to “El Paso Regional Sierra Club Group” with a memo that reads “Franklin Mountain Legal Defense Fund”. Mail your check to the El Paso Regional Sierra Club Group, P.O. Box 9191, El Paso, TX 79995.
Other subjects . . .
Switching subjects and please take note: I got my dates wrong for the public City hearings regarding action on the City’s Comprehensive Plan Re-Write (Plan El Paso). It is important that the public attend and voice their support for a Plan that was written after more than 2500 people participated in 100 meetings and 20 hands-on-sessions. Plan El Paso has been discussed by numerous groups, stakeholders and the press. Efforts to sink the plan by delaying its passage are underway. I published the corrected dates at elpasonaturally and here they are again (correctly):
Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee
Monday, February 20, 2012, 10 a.m. to Noon, 10th Floor City Hall
City Plan Commission
Thursday, February 23, 2012, 1:30 p.m., 2nd Floor City Hall
Legislative Review Committee
Thursday, March 1, 2012, 1:30 p.m., 2nd Floor City Hall
Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 8:30 a.m., 2nd Floor City Hall
Please get these dates on your calendar. I will be discussing the Comprehensive Plan Re-Write and publicizing these critical meetings more and more.
As I keep saying, El Paso needs a Green Chamber of Commerce as they have in New Mexico cities. Also, I’ve noticed that Everyday Health recently linked to an article about the new hairstyles that are simple and don’t require blow dryers: Celeb-Inspired Summer Hair. I mention this only because one of the key players (if not the key player) in efforts to water down the new City Landscape Ordinance and now to scuttle the Comprehensive Plan re-write is none other than River Oaks Properties. River Oaks is owned by Helen of Troy founder and CEO, Gerald “Jerry” Rubin. Of course you know that Helen of Troy makes and markets “personal care electrical products”. Perhaps not purchasing electrical hair care appliances or even using them makes sense not just for the sake of the planet but for the sake of El Paso, Texas.
Finally, The 14-week annual training program to become a Texas Master Naturalist begins in just two weeks: February 22, 2012. Persons interested will be trained by experts in urban ecology, geology, botany, mammology, invertebrate biology, ornithology, archaeology, soils, climate and more. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. at the El Paso Garden Center, 3105 Grant Avenue. (Map) There are also several Saturday morning field trips. Time is short but applications are still being taken. To apply for this year’s class you can call the AgriLife Extension office at 915-851-2515 or apply online: http://txmn.org/apply/. You can also email Matthew Santillan for more information. The cost of the program is $125 to cover books and publications. The complete press release is available at elpasonaturally.

Compliance electricity is the electricity that is generated and used in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electricity. It also covers the storage and handling of electrical equipment and materials.
There are many benefits of compliance electricity, including reducing your carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency, and reducing your overall energy costs. Compliance electricity can also help improve the reliability of your electrical system and make it easier to comply with electrical codes and standards.
There are numerous types of compliance electricity, all of which must follow certain standards in order to ensure the safety of both people and property. The most common type of compliance electricity is low-voltage, which includes everything from standard household wiring to commercial and industrial equipment. Other types of compliance electricity include medium-voltage (which is used for some electric utilities), high-voltage (used for long-distance transmission), and extra-high voltage (used for extremely high power applications).
It is also worth noting that some of the electricity used in Belgium is imported from neighbouring countries (France, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). The current regulatory framework in Belgium is generally silent about electric-power storage, which (unlike gas storage) is not considered a task belonging to the legal monopoly of the network operators.
Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Directive 2009/72/EC have made a significant contribution towards the creation of the internal market for electricity. However, the Union’s energy system is in the middle of a profound change. The common goal of decarbonising the energy system creates new opportunities and challenges for market participants. At the same time, technological developments allow for new forms of consumer participation and cross-border cooperation. There is a need to adapt the Union market rules to a new market reality.
With the aim to illustrate how countries are transposing the above provisions, E.DSO hosted on 27 October an online workshop on “Implementation of Electricity Directive provisions in the field of flexibility”. This event was an initiative of E.DSO members from five different countries: Poland, France, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands.
The specific rules and requirements set out above apply to cross-border supplies of electricity to end users in Belgium. The price for an electrical compliance report is 150 euros VAT included. This rate is valid by electric meter, for all types of houses or apartment in all regions in Belgium (a day/night meter equal one meter).
In Belgium, if you buy a house whose electrical installation was done before 1981, the seller will have to give you a certification of an electrical inspection performed for the sale. The certification will either state that the installation is compliant or not compliant. In the latter case the reasons will be described and you will have up to 18 months from the sale to bring it into conformity and have another inspection carried out to certify it. Inspections are compulsory also if an existing electrical installation is being modified substantially.
Building codes with specific regulation on thermal insulation of the building envelope started appearing after the 1970s in Europe. This means that a large share of today’s EU building stock was built without any energy performance requirement: one third (35%) of the EU building stock is over 50 years old, more than 40% of the building stock was built before 1960. Almost 75% of it is energy inefficient according to current building standards. Source: JRC report “Achieving the cost-effective energy transformation of Europe’s buildings”.
Our electrical compliance services meet all of the requirements of relevant legislation, regulations, and standards pertaining to electrical safety. Unlike many other providers, we provide complete compliance services, from testing to repairs, allowing our clients to be confident that the electrics in their workplace are safe.
It is critical to ensure that you are operating in a safe environment and that you are in electrical compliance with safety legislation. We are experts at providing clients with all of the necessary information and services to ensure total compliance.
