Wednesday 30 November 2011: The Best Duck On The Rushy Pen!
Now you all know I like a good duck!
Ducks simply don't get better than this one!
The first time I have managed to photograph one, and not a bad first time effort.
Me and my mum , and my brother went to Slimbridge today. My last visit for 2011 I suspect. Christmas is now fast approaching.
The morning could not have been better for photography. Almost perfect light. Low sun, plenty of colour in the birds, not too cold to walk about in.
I've got to be honest, I thought this Snipe was going to be my blip entry today. Again, the best photograph I have managed of one so far. And Snipe are like buses, you wait to photograph one, and two come along at once.
We started the morning by doing a tour of the hides from the Rushy Pen up to the Holden tower. My last visit there was late summer, the Rushy Pen was fairly quiet then, it is not now. There are thousands of wildfowl there, including over a hundred of the iconic Bewick Swans. A little WWT fact for you, the study of Bewick Swans is the longest running conservation study in the world for any bird species.
There are of course loads of the resident Mute Swans there on Swan Lake, we happened to catch a feeding frenzy just before our own lunch.
We also spotted this weird Ruddy Shelduck hybrid on the Rushy Pen.
The weather broke after lunch, we managed to stay dry, but it was no longer any good for decent photos. So we headed to the Zeiss Hide in the hope of seeing an elusive Bittern. It wasn't really a day for listing, as I wanted to take some decent photographs, but it would have been nice to picked up a good year tick, but it wasn't to be.
It was a great day out, and a nice way to see November out before the madness of the Christmas rush starts from tomorrow!
There's a load more photos from the visit in my flickr group.


Short Reset System Installation Instructions
The SRS is designed for use only in firing pin block safety equipped CZ pistols. The SRS works equally well in manual safety or decocker CZ models. Once properly installed, the SA trigger reset will be reduced 40-50%. The SRS also cuts the DA trigger pull by up to 50%, depending on which hammer spring you select. For range and competition use, HS-12000 is recommended. For the ultimate in reliability/self-defense, use our blue 13# (HS-13) hammer spring.
CAUTION: The SRS will not work in the CZ Omega or Shadow, 85 Combat, or very early 75 variants.
CAUTION: The SRS will not work with the OEM firing pin.
CAUTION: All parts in the SRS kit must be used.
CAUTION: You cannot use the stock OEM 20# hammer spring with the CGW extended firing pin
NOTE: do not mix springs with OEM springs. You must use all the springs supplied in the SRS or miss-fires will occur. The parts included in each kit are listed below:

The CZ internal firing pin block safety plunger requires a minimum of 3mm’s of trigger pre-travel to fully lift the plunger for 100% reliable operation. This means the shortest in SA is limited to around 3mm’s. This distance can vary from pistol to pistol, with the most being slightly more than 3mm.
To measure the reset distance, you measure from the center of the trigger’s radius. Keep in mind, if your trigger has no over-travel stop screw, this over-travel after the trigger breaks will affect the reset distance. This additional travel is not actually part of the reset, but it can adversely affect the reset distance. The utmost in a short reset is attained with an over-travel screw in the trigger.

Background: Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) for metastatic sarcoma can result in long-term survival. The purpose of this study was to describe factors associated with survival in a series of patients undergoing PM for metastatic sarcoma.
Methods: We reviewed all patients undergoing PM for metastatic sarcoma over a 12-year period (2000-2012). Multivariate analyses were used to identify factors associated with outcomes. Survival was calculated with Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard models.
Results: A total of 120 patients underwent PM with a median follow-up was 48 months. Among 81 (85%) patients who presented with local disease, the median disease free interval (DFI) was 13 months and median overall survival (OS) was 48 months. Fourteen patients (15%) had synchronous metastasis with a median OS of 21 months. On multivariate analysis, synchronous metastasis (P = 0.005), older age (P = 0.02), and number of lung lesions (P = 0.003) were associated with poor survival. The median OS of patients with a DFI ≥12 versus <12 months following primary resection was 93 and 43 months (P = 0.004).
Conclusion: While patients with a DFI >12 months have the best OS following PM, patients with a DFI <12 months also have excellent outcomes as compared to systemic therapy and should be considered for PM.

Rumoured Liverpool target Luis Diaz is said to be against the prospect of leaving Porto in January in order to help his current outfit fight for the Primeira Liga title.
This comes from O Jogo (via Sport Witness), with another report from football.london having speculated around Tottenham’s interest in the 25-year-old.
It’s a potential blow to the Londoners – particularly so if Spurs had genuinely intended to acquire the Colombian’s signature in the winter window.
READ MORE: Tottenham could hijack potential Liverpool move for 16-goal winger; Spurs’ director of football has made enquiries – report
Given that, as things stand, we seem highly unlikely to make any senior additions to the squad in the current window, it would serve us far better to contest for Diaz’s signature come the end of the season.
With there being a genuine prospect of regular minutes at the club over the long-term, particularly should one or more of the likes of our expiring forward line depart the club by the summer of 2023, one would expect the attacker to be tempted by a switch to Merseyside.
It’s possible of course that a younger target may be preferred to better safeguard the future of the forward line, though having only recently turned 25 it would hardly represent a signing far removed from our recruitment team’s preferred age profile.

In my illusion, I moved into all of our room and my better half embraced myself closely, smothered me personally with kisses and passionately had prefer the whole night. Actually, he had decreased asleep before I came in.

Can't Stop The Music, Take 3: Supreme Court Of California Rejects Challenge To Victim Impact Video With Flashbacks & Special Effects
Back in 2007, I posted an entry about the Supreme Court of California rejecting a Constitutional challenge to the admission of a 20-minute victim impact video with a montage of photographs of the victim's life that was accompanied by her mother's narration and Enya and Celine Dion music. In 2008, I followed up on that post with a second post concerning the United Supreme Court's refusal to grant cert in the case despite two strongly written dissents. Well, I just realized that last year, the California Supremes addressed a similar challenge to a similar victim impact video in People v. Garcia, P.3d 751 (Cal. 2011). So, was the result the same?
In Garcia, Randy Garcia was convicted of the first degree murder of Joseph Finzel, the attempted premeditated murder of FInzel's wife, L., and related crimes. During sentencing,
Following L.'s testimony, the jury watched an 11–minute 45–second videotape. The videotape shows L. from the shoulders up, talking in front of a plain gray backdrop. Her voice also is heard describing video clips and still photographs that appear on the screen. Both the narration and images concern the joy L. and Joseph shared as a couple (e.g., getting married, raising children, relaxing at home, and enjoying the outdoors), and the loss she experienced from his death (e.g., emotional turmoil, estrangement from Garrett, and a gravesite visit with Brinlee on Christmas Day).
The videotape departs from the foregoing format in only two respects. First, at the beginning, white lettering silently appears on a black screen, referring to an "intruder" who entered L. and Joseph's home on Mother's Day 1993, and who forever "altered" their lives and the lives of family and friends. Second, at the end of the videotape, a song plays softly in the background for 80 seconds, with lyrics about a "hero [who] goes free" and a " villain [who] goes to jail." More images of the Finzels appear at that time, including one of Joseph as a boy sleeping with a puppy.
Garcia was given the death penalty. After he was sentenced, Garcia appealed, claiming that the video was so unduly prejudicial as to render the sentencing hearing fundamentally unfair. Specifically, Garcia claimed that
the trial court erred in admitting the videotape because such evidence contained "special effects" that prejudiced the jury against him. He complains on appeal, much as he did at trial, about "repeated flashbacks to scenes from Jo[seph] and L[.]'s wedding, a photo montage, including pictures of Jo[seph] as a young boy, one with him fast asleep on a couch next to a sleeping puppy; music; lyrics; echo effects; and voiceovers."
The Supreme Court of Califonia disagreed, initially noting that
Videotapes may be used for victim impact purposes in capital penalty trials. We have said, however, that trial courts must take care in admitting such evidence, because "the medium itself may assist in creating an [undue] emotional impact upon the jury."... Under this case-by-case approach, we have had little difficulty upholding videotaped tributes to murder victims.
The court then found the Kelly case that I previously blogged about to be especially instructive:
Kelly seems highly relevant here. There, the defendant was convicted of robbing, raping, and murdering a 19–year–old woman, Sara, who was a Native American and who had been adopted as an infant into a Caucasian home. At the penalty phase, Sara's mother described Sara's life and the pain her death had caused family and friends. Over defendant's objection, the prosecution also played a 20–minute videotape that Sara's mother had prepared. It consisted of video clips and still photographs spanning Sara's life, with the voice of her mother calmly narrating events in the background. The music of Enya played through most of the video, but the volume was soft and the lyrics were faint. On screen, Sara was seen singing with a school group, including the song, "You Light Up My Life." Other images showed her swimming, horseback riding, and interacting with family and friends. Near the end of the videotape, Sara's mother stated that she does not dwell on the "terrible crime."...The video ended with a view of Sara's gravestone, followed by a clip of people riding horseback in Alberta, Canada—the "kind of heaven" in which Sara was said to belong....
Rejecting the defendant's contrary claims, Kelly held that that because the presentation was relevant and not unduly emotional, it was permissible....We noted that even though the mother's testimony and the videotape covered similar ground, they supplemented, rather than duplicated, one another. The reason was that the videotape "humanized" Sara in a way that live testimony could not do...."In particular, the videotape helped the jury to see that defendant took away the victim's ability to enjoy her favorite activities, to contribute to the unique framework of her family...and to fulfill the promise to society that someone with such a stable and loving background can bring."...
At most, only two questionable elements emerged—the background music by Enya and the horseback-riding scene from Canada. Kelly made clear that such sentimentality is not impermissible as long as it helps show "what [the murder victim] was like."...We acknowledged that the challenged features seemed to play a mostly "theatric" role in Sara's case because they imparted little “additional relevant material."...However, there was no reason to decide whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the videotape with these features intact, because any such error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. In making this point, Kelly relied on the routine use of music and special effects in videotapes, the factual nature of Sara's videotape overall, and the aggravating nature of the penalty evidence as a whole.
The California Supremes then found that
No different result is warranted here. After reviewing the videotape, we agree with the trial court, which conducted its own careful analysis, that there is nothing objectionable about the manner in which the videotape was edited and prepared. The "flashbacks" to which defendant objects "were simply photographs being shown," in the words of the trial court. The complained-of "voiceover" is L. speaking in a somber, almost flat, tone about scenes from her everyday life with Joseph. For the reasons discussed above, the images themselves are factual and relevant. Though L. is seen wiping tears away while describing some of these events, she never loses her composure on tape.
As noted, two audio features caught the trial court's attention—the echo effect accompanying the phrase "until death do us part" in the Finzels' wedding ceremony, and the "hero/villain" song that played during the photo montage at the end of the videotape. Though more dramatic than factual, these features seem fairly unobtrusive in context, and do not fundamentally alter the subdued tone of the presentation. In any event, we need not decide whether the contrary is true, because any error was clearly harmless. For the reasons set forth in Kelly..., and described above, there was "no reasonable possibility these portions of the videotape affected the penalty determination

- KurzbeschreibungThis volume commemorates the 30th anniversary of the discovery in 1971 of the first DNA topoisomerases, i.e topoisomerase I in E. coli, then provisionally named `omega' protein, by the pioneering work of Jim Wang at Harvard University, who has contributed an article to this volume: `Reflections on an accidental discovery' of the enzyme. Many kinds of topoisomerase have since been found from type I through to type VI in a variety of organisms ranging from viruses to higher eukaryote mammals. The wide distribution of enzymes in various forms of life implies that the DNA topoisomerase is essential for life.<br>In the mid 80's type I and II enzymes were found to be the intracellular targets of a number of efficacious anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, etoposide and camptothecin as a result of a continued efforts of many investigators, especially Leroy Liu and his collaborators at Johns Hopkins University. Readers will find a series of chapters written by researchers actively engaged in the expanding field of topoisomerase and their inhibitors. The series of chapters cover review articles on pharmacology and the molecular mechanism of topoisomerase I- and II-targeting anticancer drugs in mammals and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has proved to be a superb model organism for studies of anticancer drugs. This volume compiles up-to-date information on the topoisomerase-targeting compounds in clinical and preclinical development as a useful and important reference book for students and researchers in the field of pharmacology, toxicology, oncology and molecular biology.

Building evidence around Medical Abortion: Women Deliver Conference Poster
Findings from the MAMA Network and the current research study with Ibis Reproductive Health were presented during a poster session at the 2019 Women Deliver conference in Vancouver, Canada. The poster, titled “MAMA Network: Expanding sexual and reproductive health information and access in Central, East, and West Africa” featured an overview of the MAMA network, including the history and objective of the network, and preliminary findings from interviews with community leaders and health workers from Kenya, Malawi, and Nigeria. The preliminary findings highlighted the positive changes and impact that MAMA organizational activities have had on their community, such as educating community members about how to get information on medication abortion. In addition, community leaders and health workers also reported on the benefits of medication abortion, including its effectiveness, safety, privacy, and low cost compared to surgical abortion. Overall, this poster shared how the MAMA network model has the potential to empower organization with expanded knowledge about safe medication abortion, and thereby increase access to safe abortion for their communities.
Over 15 new grassroots organizations have joined the MAMA Network’s reproductive justice movement for Sub-Saharan Africa.
In efforts to extend and strengthen the MAMA Network, membership registration was extended to new organizations motivated to increase access to medical abortion in Sub-Saharan Africa. After a thorough process of screening of all organizations that applied, webinars were conducted to kickstart the movement with the new partners. The goals of the introductory webinars held in French and in English were to;
• Meet and get to know each other
• Introduce new members to the MAMA network
• Present upcoming activities of the MAMA Network

Manny Rodriguez is the executive director of La Fuente Hollywood Treatment Center, a treatment center providing inpatient drug rehab in Los Angeles, CA that offers an integrated approach to overcoming drug and alcohol addiction through clinical therapy, 12-step involvement, nutrition, fitness and community support.
Manny has been immersed in the Los Angeles recovery community for most of his adult life. What initially began as a personal road to wellness became a calling to help others battling addiction to reclaim their own lives.
In 2005, Manny recognized there was an unmet need for affordable sober living and treatment in Hollywood. That same year, he co-founded La Fuente, A Sober Living Community. Manny tirelessly invested his time, energy and personal resources working on the front lines to help those who were new to recovery, as well as those continuing to struggle with addiction, to reclaim their lives and recognize that living sober is not only possible, but desirable. Over the years, Manny has worked hand-in-hand with clinicians, families and friends as well as the treatment programs from which many of La Fuente’s sober living residents have been referred. His hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of working with individuals struggling with addiction has enabled him to author and implement continued care plans that have helped many residents of La Fuente stay on the path to long-term recovery.
Prior to working in treatment and wellness, Manny gained a wealth of management and operations experience. He developed several small businesses and served as a marketing executive for various companies, including a subsidiary of two major motion picture companies. He also served as a board member at the Hollywood Studio District Neighborhood Council and Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing.
Manny earned a BFA from the Juilliard School in New York City and toured the world extensively with Paul Taylor Dance Company, Ballet Hispanico of New York, Ballet Atlantique – Régine Chopinot and Nicholas Rodriguez’s DanceCompass. He lived and worked in Paris and Barcelona for several years, speaks French and is fluent in Spanish.
“Helping individuals recover from the disease of addiction while rewarding can be a daunting task, even after many years. I was lucky very early in life with a calling that provided passion and also demanded dedication, endurance and sacrifice. I’ve done several things in between, some successful and some not. However, none came close to the passion I had in my youth. La Fuente and what we are called to do each day is the only thing that has reignited what I felt in my formative years. My goal everyday is to stay connected to why I do this. There are time when I get doubtful, even exhausted; I may question “why am I doing this”. I do it because I want to help improve the life of every client we serve, create healing opportunities for their families, their loved ones and maybe even help elevate our community and it’s stakeholders. None of what I do is possible without “the team”, their efforts and experience are unmatched. The daily mantra: let’s aim at being better today than we were yesterday.” – Manny Rodriguez

To kill a mockingbird is a novel by harper lee published in 1960 it was immediately the narrator's father, atticus finch, has served as a moral hero for many the mysterious man carries jem home, where scout realizes that he is boo radley i always thought maycomb folks were the best folks in the world, least that's.
Atticus finch is one of the most beloved characters in american literature he does the job that must be done, but that other people are unwilling and afraid to do “i simply want to tell you that there are some men in this world who were atticus's decision to represent tom robinson brought a slew of.
Atticus is the voice of justice and rationalism speaking out in a town full of highly emotional and ignorantly prejudiced people this theme is represented through boo radley, a man surrounded by mystery and rumors and hence prejudices we see her mature and progress to become a rational and wiser character.
In an aside, the narrator explains that atticus is showing how honest tom is and that he if a man like atticus finch wants to butt his head against a stone wall it's his head who he formerly thought were the best people in the world miss maudie thinks that the town has paid atticus a high tribute by.
Atticus represents the calm, rational man in a community of emotionally charged people he is a sensible man who feels he can handle those --in chapter 15 when the prominent men of the town come to the finch home, they are nervous. Being atticus finch: the professional role of empathy in moral neutrality and emotional detachment on the one hand, or moral lawyer represents a client, the lawyer has a duty to make his or her expertise fully available in the that very few people in maycomb really believed his and mayella's yarns. It fits that atticus finch defended the black person's rights in the 1930s rational men, a class that included the best men of the south—and the best practice of the high virtues by men of means, magnanimity, and generosity a world in which blacks would no longer need the protection of men such as.

Prism gives Starr packs
Homelessness is a problem which continues to ravage the UK. As of November 2018, it was reported by Shelter that at least 320,000 people were recorded as living rough on British streets. This data suggests that up to 36 people per day are being made homeless, which has led to the British government investing a further £1.2 billion in an attempt to provide relief. Homelessness can be triggered by a variety of socio-economic factors. In many cases, it is increasing living costs which hits hardest.
However, many philanthropists continue to work hard in finding new ways to help people in need. Gary David Smith, co-founder and Director of Prism (www.prism.uk.com) believes business people and SME owners could engage with their local communities and help to get homeless people in their area back on their feet again.
Prism is a company which has a history of giving back to its local community wherever possible. “We have always tried to be creative with our giving,” Smith states. “Starting to raise funds is one thing, however, applying them in a creative and thought-out way presents a challenge for all aspirational philanthropists.”
Smith and Prism have recently announced a scheme branded the ‘Starr Pack’. Having discussed local homelessness concerns with a variety of causes and charities, the SME has developed a scheme where direct help can be given to people who are sleeping rough. The aim is to provide direct help, not just a token gesture.
“Having discussed plans with several causes, it was suggested that a pre-packed rucksack may be of most benefit to the local homeless,” Smith explains. “These may contain sleeping bags, wind-up torches, wind-up radios, ponchos and socks, for example.”
With this inspiration, Prism has already built at least 40 packs to be distributed via local causes and centres. These ‘Starr Packs’ will be delivered to people in the community who need the resources the most. For Smith and the team, this is only the beginning.
“Many people have shown interest in the Starr Packs so far,” Smith explains, “It’s struck quite a chord. We have been approached regarding the possibility of providing more on a regular basis. It’s certainly something we’d like to explore.” The news that Prism’s work is already being widely appreciated may be indicative that other SMEs could follow suit – with similarly positive results. Is it time for small to medium companies across the UK to start thinking more altruistically?
Smith’s philanthropic work via Prism could be adopted by SMEs elsewhere. As leading brands in local communities, the Director suggests, small to medium firms may be inspired to give a little bit back to nearby people who need genuine care and support.
Charities such as Shelter work hard to support homeless people as much as possible. However, with financial issues and varying personal factors giving rise to greater numbers on the streets, it is clear that a direct approach can be beneficial. It’s estimated that there are more people living homeless in London than elsewhere in the country, but that the North of England has seen a worrying spike emerge over the past 24 months.
SMEs may be in a prime position to help local people in need. Acts of kindness will not only help people find their way back into comfortable living, but may also impact on brand image. Altruism is not a selfish endeavour, rather, as in the case with Prism, it is using available resources to help make less fortunate lives a little easier.
Smith believes that SMEs can do plenty to reach out and help. From gestures as small as recycling old equipment, to building useful support packs, he encourages business owners to think creatively about how they can support the community around them. What’s more, business owners may be surprised by the demand they receive in return.

In close collaboration with the talented Seoul based architect Saul Kim, we recently designed a series of sculptural observation tower concepts: three proper observation towers and one bridge/observation tower. Each interesting structures with a height of around 12 to 15 metres.
The Flemish government selected around 40 bridges that they want to have replaced by 2030. A consortium of Arcadis, SBE and Tractebel was recently commissioned to prepare this large-scale replacement operation. The consortium has asked ipv Delft to help them create a manual outlining the desired design quality for the new bridges.
If you are interested in feasibility and/or design studies, then our latest publication might be what you are looking for: the feasibility and design studies brochure. It features several project for which we have performed such a study or quick-scan and tells you more about what to expect.
Our work for the LA River bike path gap closure project has now entered the next phase. We have started working on the preliminary designs for all built structures necessary along the 8-mile stretch of new bicycle path. This includes elevated bicycle paths, underpasses and bridges. The project is located in LA’s most densely built-up area. Existing rail and road infrastructure limits available space and offers massive challenges.
We have been commissioned by Jacobs Engineering Group, who together with Alta Planning + Design, have been appointed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to deliver on the new bike path.
The Western Australia Department of Transport has recently appointed us designated architect for the feasibility study of a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge across the Swan River in Perth. The existing Causeway Bridge will in future altered to allow more traffic as well as public transport, leaving no room for cyclists and pedestrians. Cyclists and pedestrians will however have to be able to cross the river and Heirisson Island once the Causeway bridge has been adapted. The feasibility study will therefore focus on building a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge in the vicinity of the existing Causeway bridge.
Next week two of our senior designers will be heading off to Perth for the kick-off week. Engineering office WSP is our Australian partner in this project.
Our very own senior designer and project leader Ivo Mulders will be speaking at the 2018 VeloCity conference in Brazil next month. The conference itself will be held from June 12th until June 15th, Ivo’s lecture is scheduled for the first day at 14:00 (Infrastructure – Small vs Big City Design). It’s a jam-packed programme, and a must for all of you involved in bicycle infrastructure. Plus, it’s a great chance to catch up or meet with Ivo… See you there!
It’s official: we now have an international branch, ipv Delft international! The new branch will make it easier for us and our international clients to work together the world over. And yes, ipv Delft international is open for business, so do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in working with us on creating great-looking, well-functioning bicycle bridges or infrastructure!

In a more upbeat 2010 forecast IATA chief Giovanni Bisignani has praised airlines for their capacity-cutting measures, but he cautions that short-haul business travel may have undergone a permanent change.
Speaking as he unveiled the forecast today, Bisignani said that airlines had become much better at matching capacity to demand, leading to a record 75.9% average load factor in January.
"I think this is a clear indicator how airlines are able to adapt quite quickly to changes in demand. In 2009 airlines really handled capacity correctly. This is probably the first time during a big crisis when capacity has been handled in the right way," he says.
Last year yields for both passenger and cargo operations were down 14%, leading IATA to forecast zero change this year. But Bisignani says: "Tighter supply and demand conditions have given airlines some pricing power." Passenger yields are expected to grow by 2% and cargo by 3.1%.
Short-haul premium yields in Europe have fallen by 10% and by 13% in North America, prompting concerns about permanent change. Bisignani says: "We have certain concerns because this could not just be cyclical, but an indicator of structural change."
IATA has halved its loss forecast for the year. Bisignani describes this as "very, very positive" for both the industry and the economy, adding: "We can see from the numbers that the industry situation is improving. Passengers are returning to flying."
He concedes that the speed of change has taken IATA by surprise, saying the year "started strongly" and that there has been "good follow-up" from the "very good numbers" recorded in December. "The increase is much better than expected," he says.
Industry-wide revenues for 2008 stood at $564 billion, and dropped to $479 billion last year, but are forecast to reach $522 billion this year. IATA hopes that, by next year, revenues will return to 2008 levels. But Bisignani cautions: "This is not the time to have a big party. The situation is still in the red."


Transport and Public Works Minister Sidik Mia on Thursday expressed Government’s commitment to
transform the country’s transport sector through the
construction of improved road infrastructure.
Mia was speaking when he appreciated progress on
the construction of Kauma bridge in Lilongwe. Speaking in the company of his deputy Nancy
Chaola Mdoko, Mia said the Tonse Alliance-led
administration will ensure timely completion of all
infrastructural projects in the transport sector for people’s ease of access to social services.
Chief Executive Officer for the Roads Authority Engineer Emmanuel Matapa has since disclosed
construction of the 80 metre long bridge will be complete by December this year.
Government is funding the construction of Kauma bridge to the tune of K470 million. The bridge will connect Lilongwe city center to Lilongwe city south west constituency.

At about 9:08am 4-14-2018 The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of two females fighting in their pajamas (and possibly intoxicated) along the roadway. The reported fight location was along the highway 140 West at Varney Creek Road, a location west of the Rocky Point area. A reporting person told dispatchers that two females in their pajamas were fighting and pushing each other and one or more of the females had a black eye.
A short time later the Sheriff’s Office received additional information that the two females had jumped into the same vehicle (a black Chevy sedan) and were headed toward Klamath Falls on HWY140.
Sheriff’s Deputies intercepted the vehicle at about mile post 58-59 HWY140W a short time later and stopped it. During the roadside investigation it was discovered that one of the females had two outstanding arrest warrants.
Thelma May Charles (DOB 2-18-94) was arrested during the traffic stop for two outstanding warrants.
- Felony arrest warrant from Lake County, Oregon for Dangerous Drugs.
- Felony arrest warrant from Klamath County, Oregon for Robbery with $150,000 bail.
Deputies arrested and transported Thelma Charles to the Klamath County Jail where she was lodged. This incident remains under investigation and we will update if any new information becomes available.

(Bloomberg) -- Iron ore’s most spectacular collapse on record portends more volatility to come as investors grapple with a complex policy backdrop in China and an uneven recovery in global demand.
Once one of the hottest commodities in this year’s raw-material boom, iron ore’s ructions swiftly made it one of the most volatile. A brutal five-week rout for futures, and a 14% slump in the spot market on Thursday, has seen it lose about 40% of its value since May’s record as China seeks to reduce steel production to curb pollution.
Attention is now turning to an uncertain outlook for consumption, raising the prospect of more sharp, short-term moves. China’s demand is showing signs of faltering, though expectations are building that authorities may turn to infrastructure to help prop up the economy. And rising virus cases are weighing on growth in many parts of the world.
Benchmark spot ore with 62% iron content plunged 14% on Thursday, its biggest loss ever. Futures in Singapore rose 5.9% to $138.30 a ton on Friday following Thursday’s 12% slump, but remain near the lowest since December.
“We are massively bullish from these levels given the anticipated steel demand recovery once China overcomes the current Covid outbreak,” said Atilla Widnell, managing director at Navigate Commodities. “We see strong support for iron ore at $140 a ton and it actually looks incredibly oversold.”
The market is being buffeted by sometimes conflicting policies in China. Officials had turned to stimulus to boost growth, fueling demand for commodities key to infrastructure and property. At the same time, they sought to cut steel output and expectations for a flurry of restrictions saw mills front-load production to the first half.
That saw a swift run-up to a record for iron ore and steel, with the resulting inflationary pressures leading to a crackdown on commodities speculation, tighter credit and a moderation in spending on construction.
Market watchers are now trying to gauge the extent to which that lower consumption is reflected in prices. Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) said iron ore could fall further due to China’s weak steel demand, while Kallanish Commodities Ltd. analyst Tomas Gutierrez said iron ore is close to a bottom and a weak second half is priced in.
Still, faltering growth may underpin iron ore demand beyond this half if measures are needed to prop up the economy. China slowed more than expected in July as delta outbreaks added new risks to the recovery and boosted optimism the nation may turn to more monetary and fiscal stimulus to prevent a sharper slowdown.
“Steel demand will weaken in the second half along with a slowing property sector, but there is unlikely to be a big-sized drop, as the country has pledged to boost infrastructure investment to offset potential economic risks,” said Xu Xiangchun, who has been in the industry for over 30 years and is chief information officer at researcher Mysteel Global.
There’s also long-term supply constraints that are likely to underpin iron ore. Vale SA (NYSE: VALE ) has been trying to recover output since a dam disaster more than two years ago, while Australian giant Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO ) Group has said it’s struggling to keep up with demand.
“Prices have now declined to a sustainable level,” said Rohan Kendall, Wood Mackenzie’s head of iron ore research. “The iron ore market remains susceptible to supply disruptions and short-term spikes in the iron ore price are likely.”

Q: What kind of gobos can you use with the Gantom iQx?
A: Any pattern that is cut into a 19mm (3/4”) diameter disk. Traditional gobos such as stainless steel or glass will work for permanent installations. For temporary events, inexpensive full color gobos can be made from 35mm film slides or self printed onto transparency paper.
For full color film gobos visit: www.colorslide.com . It is important that you know www.colorslide.com will print your gobo designs but cannot cut them into the correct circular shape. For this we recommend purchasing a 19mm (3/4”) craft punch online or at a craft store. Please note that film slides will fade over time as the film is a photosensitive material. Although this process renders sharp full color images at a low price, these slides are
designed for temporary use. Please consider stainless steel or glass for permanent applications.
For stainless steel or glass gobos visit: www.gamonline.com or www.rosco.com .
Q: Can I print my own patterns?
A: Yes! As long as your able to create well defined patterns onto a 3/4″ (19mm) diameter disk that is less than 0.08″ (2mm) thick, it will load easily into the Gantom iQx and can render sharp patterns. You can also use a high resolution inkjet printer to create full colored patterns onto transparency paper. However, due to the resolution of typical printers and the amount of magnification with our optics, the projected pattern will not be as sharp as a professionally made pattern. Use the following sizing information
to design the images for your own custom gobos:
Q: How long will the Gantom iQx last?
A: Because this is an LED product, the Gantom iQx is rated for over 50,000 hours of lifetime. Stainless steel or glass gobos should last indefinitely while 35mm slides will fade over time.
Q: Can I run this from a battery for portable applications?
A: Yes, this product only uses about 3W of power and can be powered from a 9V or 12V battery for several hours depending on battery size.
Q: Can I run the Gantom iQx without DMX signal?
A: Yes, once the Gantom iQx is configured to a desired output pattern using the DMX Programmer App, it will retain that pattern in memory and automatically recall it when powered on if there is no signal input.

It is probable that the early story was a study in a single character, with the other members of the Bergson family and their neighbors drawn only as stimuli for her and factors in her life. The shift in title from “Alexandra” to Pioneers! –however much it may have been prompted by its similarity to the title of her first novel- pointed to a shift in interest: in the novel Alexandra remains the principal personage, but she is now presented as part of a study in the history of a family characteristic of a time and a place.

The first strength I saw in Jacoby’s essay was her credibility. Credibility according to The Saint Martin’s Handbook, is “You can show that you have some personal experience with the subject” (Lunsford 166). The author sites her own experiences on the subject by providing the audience with her own personal story relating to the topic at hand. One example where the author does this is in the introduction of her essay she reiterates, “They were on their way to the bedroom when, having realized that she wanted only the man who wasn’t there, she changed her mind” (584). In this snippet it shows Jacoby’s using her own personal event to demonstrate knowledge about the topic, to show that she has first-hand experience with the relating material.

LG has claimed Optimus 3D having twice the performance compared to any other 1GHz dual-core phone out there. Can Galaxy SII beat twice the speed of Optimus 2X or Motorola Atrix. NO it can't. These people just come here with out information and claim Samsung Galaxy SII is the best.
5011, 05 Oct 2011The Exynos/ Cortex A-9 chip in the Galaxy S2 is much better than a Tegra250. Google it, look a... moreExynos might have bigger number, but not any faster.
Youre comparing a GPU chip made by a wholesale manufacturer vs a GPU chip made by a corporate which is specialized in making GPU since the last 15 years.
Number is not everything, even 32 bit GPU can run a Windows XP, not to mention just a phone.
Which raise a question do you actually understand what the GPU used for?
The GPU is taking the job from the CPU to process graphic. In addition to Nvidia GPU they were not just processing graphic but also other logic calculation which would speed up CPU computing process.
I bet Exynos is talking about speed because all it could do is only maximizing its texelation capabilities, but who needs 12 times texelation on a 5 inch screen? a box is a box no matter how much you modify it.
So if youre saying Exynos is better, then my friend I feel sorry for you. Might as well saying Mac is better than a PC. But hey... if its true then NASA would have use Apple as their supercomputer instead of JAGUAR.

nice specs, nice size, non-iPhonish design, that's great device for me! so small and equipped with TEGRA2, at last!!!
I bet this could be even better than Samsung Galaxy SII. Better built quality. Nova display(saves energy alot). When the Optimus 2X didn't loose much in speed while it had android 2.2, 512mb ram and 1GHz dual-core. This one has better android twice the ram and higher clocked nvidia tegra 2.

What is the lifespan on a hearing aid?Average lifespan of hearing aids Many people are disappointed to learn that good quality hearing aids only last for about five years. 2014 648 What is the lifespan on a hearing aid? https://www.healthyhearing.com/report/51927-What-is-the-lifespan-on-a-hearing-aid
Many people are confused when they learn that quality hearing aids only last about four to five years. This frustration makes sense because good hearing aids are an investment. However, you can feel better about the purchase by reframing how you think about hearing aids and learning how to take excellent care of them to ensure that they work for you as long as possible.
Understanding the lifespan of a hearing aid
Hearing aids are small, highly technologically advanced devices. Their technology develops so rapidly that, even just five years ago, the majority of devices on the market were what we would consider "baseline" devices today. Here's what to know about the rapid development of technology and even the changing form of hearing aids that can help shed light on the devices' lifespans:
Although many individuals have images of bulky hearing aids from decades past, hearing technology is changing at a rate similar to that of smartphones. Many people know that data limitations, speed and additional functionality will grow and change within a few year's time, and the same goes for hearing aids. Many models of hearing technology now incorporate smartphone and Bluetooth capabilities into their design, making them more user friendly and in line with the technological necessities of today.
Because hearing aids today have so many different and extended capabilities, they can be worn more often and for a wider variety of tasks than those in the past. With near constant use, it isn't surprising that their lifespans are finite. If you used your laptop all day for five years, it would likely still work but would be slow and not perform certain things as well as it could have. The same is true for hearing aids - using very old devices that don't perform as well as they should could hamper your hearing and communication and prevent you from accessing newer technology that could have a major impact on your quality of life.
How to I get the most out of my hearing aid?
The best way to make sure your hearing aids last as long as possible is to clean and repair them regularly. Here are some tips:

Gargoyles Remastered, the modern revival of the 1995 Sega Genesis game Gargoyles, is going to be released next month on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Specifically, it’ll launch on October 19.
For those unfamiliar, Gargoyles was based on the animated Disney show with the same name, which aired in the 90s. This is important context for the remastered version, as players are now able to experience the game with visuals inspired by the series. If you prefer the classic 16-bit graphics, that’s fine too – players can seamlessly switch between the two whenever they like. Take a look at the feature in action in the trailer below.
“Journey through one thousand years of legend as Goliath, leader of the Gargoyles,” the game’s synopsis in a press release reads. “Stone by day, warriors by night, the Gargoyles are sworn protectors against the evil Eye of Odin and all who seek to use its immense powers to control the world. Battle armies of Viking Warriors in ancient Scotland and smash relentless hordes of menacing robots in modern-day Manhattan as you quest to find and destroy the Eye of Odin before it destroys the world.”
Another feature present in Gargoyles Remastered is the ‘instant rewind’, which allows you to correct any mistakes if you happen to take an unfortunate tumble or die in another untimely manner. Oh, and the entire soundtrack has been remastered, too.
“Gargoyles Remastered is the perfect dose of 90s nostalgia for fans of the iconic animated series and the original Gargoyles game,” Luigi Priore, the vice president Disney, Pixar and 20th Century Games said in a statement. “We’re delighted to bring back a classic that holds true to the foundations of the original game while enhancing it for a new generation of players.”
Prospective players can pre-order Gargoyles Remastered now, with limited physical edition pre-orders set to begin later today via Limited Run Games.

Teams in Super Mega Baseball 3 don’t have home cities, at least in their names. Much is suggested in the stadiums though. Some squads base their operations in lower rent districts – that’s evident by the advertisers lining the warning track. Say, a lawyer service called “Bogus Docs: Creative Bookkeeping” for fields in working class sectors. In more posh areas, where massive ornamental whales hover over centerfield, ads for boats and acting classes attract the upper class in a coastal zone.
Super Mega Baseball 3 is all fictional, of course. The Blowfish do not play in any real world league, and “Creative Bookkeeping” is more a thing advertised on Craigslist. It’s fun to think of this as Single A ball, a ragtag league of men and women hoping for their shot. Only here, the talent is already notable.
Akin to micro-budget, super minor leagues, this is a game of personalities. That’s perfect. Creative player names (editable, but some deserve their fame) and body types akin to retro sports games like NES Ice Hockey breathe life and creativity into this catchy affair.
While never serious on its surface, the play feels authentic, even satisfying with punishing sound as the bat makes contact, a sonic boom-like visual touch furthering the power. Strikeouts bring exaggerated pitcher smiles (and when a batter blasts one into the pitcher’s face, far less smiling).
It’s pure glee, and franchise play delivers the rudimentary depth that makes these fictional players likeable – enough to be disappointed when they retire or request a release. Good character design does that. Where pixels limited such potential in the 8 and 16-bit eras, Super Mega Baseball 3 carries on, using advancing tech to relive that past, but injected with added spunk. MLB’s own retro-focused RBI Baseball can’t manage a tenth of this charisma.
Here’s hoping the crowd can play their part, more than just standing and clapping, in the necessary Super Mega Baseball 4.
