A former CEO of a Finnish refrigeration company has told a jury that his company had “an agency agreement” to pay commission to Michael Lowry's company for Irish sales.
Giving evidence from Finland via video-link, Fred Ramberg agreed with Remy Farrell SC, prosecuting that if his company, Norpe Oy, supplied to a retail outlet in Ireland, a commission would be paid to Streamline, the trading name for Mr Lowry's company Garuda Ltd.
The witness agreed with counsel that an agency agreement, signed by both he and Mr Lowry on November 1, 1997, outlined in the “terms of agreement” that the agent should be entitled to a commission of five percent on all sales.
Mr Ramberg agreed that it stated that the agreement was between Norpe OY and Michael Lowry but that Mr Lowry's name was crossed out and handwritten in its place was Glebe Trust, with an address in the Isle of Man.
He agreed that he had written in the change and had initialled it but was not able to indicate when he did this, “I'm not sure. I guess 2008” before he confirmed that he had “no clue” who Glebe Trust are.
Michael O'Higgins SC, defending Mr Lowry, told Mr Ramberg that his client claims he was on holidays in Spain in August 2002 when a person he owed money to put him under pressure to pay it. He said that Mr Lowry then contacted Mr Ramberg and asked that the commission owed to him be paid directly to this man.
“I'm not aware,” Mr Ramberg replied.
The statement of an interview of Stella Lipponen, who worked in the accounts department with Norpe from October 2001, with the Finish police, was then read to the jury. She confirmed a payment of €388,788.12 was paid on August 28, 2002 and that the payee referred to was Glebe Trust.
She told officers she didn't know why the account ledger displayed a different payee.
Mr Lowry (61) of Glenreigh, Holycross, Co. Tipperary earlier pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to four charges of filing incorrect tax returns on dates between August 2002 and August 2007 in relation to a sum of Stg £248,624 received by his company, Garuda Ltd and one charge in relation to failing to keep a proper set of accounts on dates between 28 August 2002 and August 3, 2007.
He further pleaded not guilty on behalf of Garuda Ltd to three similar charges in relation to the company's tax affairs and one charge of failing to keep a proper set of accounts on the same dates.
It is the State's case that Mr Lowry's company received Stg £248,624 in commission from Norpe OY in August 2002. It is alleged that Mr Lowry arranged for this payment to be made to a third party, residing in the Isle of Man, and therefore it didn't appear in the company accounts for that year nor did he declare it as income.
It is further alleged that the accounts were then falsified in 2007 to reflect that the payment was received in 2006.
Mr Farrell told the jury that it is the State's case that a sum of Stg £248,624 received by Mr Lowry's company and not declared to Revenue, “would have amounted to 88% of the company's certified gross profits for the year”.
In evidence Mr Ramberg agreed with Mr Farrell that he resigned as CEO of Norpe OY in August 1998 and stayed on as a board member but said this still did not help him recall when he made the handwritten change to the agency agreement.
Mr Ramberg acknowledged a second agency agreement between Norpe Oy and Glenreigh, Holycross, Thurles, which again states that the agent should be entitled to a commission of 5 percent and is signed by both him and Mr Lowry on the same day in November 1997.
When asked by counsel why there are two agreements signed on the same day, Mr Ramberg replied, “I don't remember”.
“Is it your evidence that you have no recollection at all,” Mr Farrell said.
“I'm a bit confused. I don't recall,” Mr Ramberg said.
He said he didn't know if any payments were made under either of these agreements while he was CEO.
Mr Ramberg agreed with Mr O'Higgins that there was a third agency agreement, which counsel said had been provided by Garuda Ltd.
He acknowledged that it contained Norpe OY's logo and as such was a more “official looking document” than the other two which had been presented to the jury.
Mr Ramberg agreed this “was actually in operation between Norpe and Garuda, trading as Streamline Enterprises”.
He further agreed with Mr O'Higgins that he mentioned “in a police interview” about five years ago that he was aware that Mr Lowry had “a live ongoing issue with Revenue”.
Counsel suggested to Mr Ramberg that the agreement which was in operation with Norpe was the one with Garuda because the others were “substitute agreements in place because there was a live issue with Revenue and there was a concern over which entity was going to engage with Norpe”.
“I cannot be sure but it's most likely,” Mr Ramberg replied.
Ms Lipponen's statement said that Norpe paid commission to Michael Lowry in relation to sales or installations in the early 2000s.
She said she didn't know what company names the payments went under but said Norpe always required an invoice to process a payment and assumed the payee details would have been included on any invoices supplied.
She said she didn't know if any payments went through the Isle of Man and said she didn't know why two agency agreements existed because they were created before she began working there in 2001.
The trial continues before Judge Martin Nolan and jury of eight men and four women.

Del. Robbyn Lewis is among the many Baltimoreans who won’t soon forget Gov. Larry Hogan’s 2015 veto of the Red Line. Beyond abandoning a project to bridge geographically and racially segregated Baltimore, the governor also returned $900 million in federal funds—a move federal officials will remember when deciding what checks to write, Lewis said.
“It will be a long time before the Federal Transit Administration approves large transit infrastructure money for Maryland,” Lewis, who’s among the three delegates representing District 46, grimly predicted. “The feds don’t forget that.”
She worries Baltimore City is now running a similar risk with federal and state funds for cycling and multimodal infrastructure. Today, a Department of Transportation-hired contractor is set to repaint part of a protected bike lane along E. Monument Street, leaving the eastbound path intact while redirecting westbound users to the sidewalk. The modification will restore about a dozen street parking spaces in front of Fountain Baptist Church at 1215 E. Monument St.
DOT is making these changes at Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young’s behest. Young’s spokesman Lester Davis said Tuesday they requested the alteration after hearing from “senior citizens and other members of this this community,” who complained to the mayor they weren’t considered when the lane was installed in 2018, and wanted their spots back.
“Finding a way to return parking for our senior population became our top priority,” Davis wrote in an emailed statement. “Our second priority was to maintain the bike lane without removing it.” The planned modification is a compromise, he said.
While Davis made no mention of the church, Lewis wrote a letter to Young—which she shared on Twitter Tuesday morning—mentioning that the mayor relayed the concerns of Fountain Baptist Church members.
She also said Young suggested to her that cycling infrastructure is “not a concern of African American people,” a notion she strongly protests, pointing to a number of black users she’s seen navigating Monument Street just this week. (Young countered he said no such thing; Lewis maintains he did.)
The delegate told Baltimore Fishbowl that she had appealed to the mayor in hopes of arranging a meeting between neighbors (including churchgoers), the mayor’s office, cycling advocates and others, when “it was still enough time to halt the order” modifying the lane.
“My offer wasn’t accepted,” she said. “Naturally I felt disappointed, and in the meantime I’m also concerned about all the reverberating implications of the order, of the insistence on deconstructing the lane. It’s not just about the convenience or inconvenience of the directly impacted folks… It has impacts for Baltimore City’s ability, broadly, to secure financing for transportation.”
Lewis has since met with the board of the church, whose members she said “deserve respect.” However, they could not come to an agreement about the bike lane, she said.
Baltimore in 2017 adopted an addendum to its 2015 Bike Master Plan for a full separated bike lane network catering to car-less commuters across the city. Officials originally committed to spending at least $1 million annually to build out the lane network, and planned to seek matching state and federal funds from the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Bikeways initiative and federal Transportation Alternatives Program, or TAP.
But the city has backed off of its commitment in its Capital Improvement Program funds for 2020-2025, advocates complained this winter. To the ire of multimodal transportation boosters, once-earmarked funds for the bike lane network were cut from the six-year budget plans, which would leave Baltimore ineligible for those matching funds for years at a time.
Jed Weeks, policy director for the cycling advocacy group Bikemore, said DOT has not shared any updates since about the plans for 2020-2025. A version of the Capital Improvement Program budget posted online indicates the city plans to spend no new money on cycling infrastructure.
The Maryland Department of Transportation, which administers TAP funds, said the city was awarded $542,150 total in Bikeways grants in fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, as well as $250,000 in promised TAP funding in fiscal 2018.
However, MDOT spokeswoman Erin Henson added, “To be clear, Baltimore City has not received any of these funds to date.”
That’s because the state reimburses the city only after it’s completed a project and has sent along an invoice requesting reimbursement. For the projects that netted the city those promised grants, the city “has not sent any invoices or requested reimbursement to date,” Henson said.
With that caveat, available state announcements point to a recent acute drop in the last couple years for promised Bikeways funding, with $310,850 in grants awarded for projects in fiscal 2016 and $312,230 in fiscal 2017, compared to $70,000 in fiscal 2018 and $159,920 in fiscal 2019.
Lewis pointed to other bike lane projects the city has walked back or delayed substantially, including the much–fussed–over Roland Avenue cycle track. The North Baltimore lane was installed as part of a multi-million-dollar traffic-calming project several years ago, and was recently repainted to restore curbside parking for residents who complained. Bikemore said the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Commission pegged the cost of that work at “at least $140,000.”
There’s also been slow progress on the Downtown Bike Network, originally slated to be finished in 2017. DOT has said it should be done this summer, though a number of sections are still incomplete, including a whole portion on Madison Street.
Weeks, of Bikemore, also highlights the delayed installation of a bike boulevard on Covington Street below Federal Hill, other boulevards planned for West Baltimore and additional examples.
Lewis worries the pattern of delays and alterations–even small ones like those being made to Monument Street–further put federal and state dollars in jeopardy.
“I’ve heard through channels that even Maryland DOT is looking sideways at any request from Baltimore for bike and pedestrian infrastructure,” she said, “and I don’t blame them.”
And she laments that the city is spending more on removing, rather than adding to, its network of multimodal transportation infrastructure.
For the newest modifications, which basically include repainting part of about half a block of Monument Street, there’s been some confusion about how much they will cost. Lewis and cycling advocacy group Bikemore at first said officials pegged the cost at around $50,000, but DOT said today that it’s actually “less than $10,000.” Bikemore executive director Liz Cornish said officials at a meeting of the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Commission on Wednesday had since revised the cost estimate to around that amount.
Lewis acknowledged the modifications to Monument Street are of a “much smaller scale than the Red Line obviously, but a federal dollar is a federal dollar.”
Cornish said this latest case on Monument Street points to a problematic trend of officials reacting to some neighbors’–not all, she points out–complaints as soon as new infrastructure disrupts the status quo of Baltimore’s car-favoring streets.
“Community input is valuable and important, and it should be taken into consideration, but it shouldn’t be taken into consideration to the point where we are making streets less safe for the most vulnerable users,” she said.
Lewis knows Baltimore isn’t alone in reconsidering designs for bike lanes. Other cities like New York and Seattle have gone through the trial-and-error process of installing such infrastructure, only to modify or remove it after neighbors dispute its functionality. But Baltimore stands alone in its degree of resistance to introducing such infrastructure in the first place, she argued.
“I don’t think any other major city has shown this level of schizophrenia and irresponsibility when it comes to expanding safe and healthy mobility options for its own citizens,” Lewis said. “We’re famous for this at this point.”
Looking ahead, she said the city has “got to get this right” for Baltimoreans who lack access to cars. “This is bigger than bikes. This is a civil rights matter, this is a public health matter, and it’s a fiscal matter for the city. And with all the challenges we have, it’s something with very little effort we could actually get right.”
This story has been updated.
Ethan has identified a pattern to these removal and installation projects: Some residents complain once construction is complete. Why should residents learn about a well-intended project after construction? Why is Baltimore City’s design process so often lacking the local expertise, save for a few who seem to have the loudest or more influential voice? If all interested residents had the opportunity to attend a well-advertised series of public workshops during the design phase of these projects to hear pros and cons; to learn about various design concepts other towns are successfully using; and to discuss with designers and DoT staff face-to-face how they feel about aspects of design alternatives, there might be good chance for a single plan of consensus to be engineered and evaluated. This is how many places fix their urban design problems. Everyone talks in the beginning of the process. Everyone interested in having genuine authorship is welcome. The community comes away from the design process with a single, thought-out vision.
Baltimore is different. Projects are built with minimal public input and some influence by vocal groups. Then outraged residents, be they seniors or parents with bike riding children or what have you, begin talking and soon yelling at the end of the process. Expensive do-overs and costly repeats of the exclusive process are frustrating and wasteful. Neighborhoods like Roland Park are pulling in different directions–for and against.

Western Athletic Conference Tournament (Las Vegas, Nev.)
Game 31: #4 Idaho (18-12, 9-7 WAC) vs. #5 Hawai`i/#8 San Jose State
When: March 10, 2011 (12 p.m. PT)
Where: Las Vegas, Nev. (Orleans Arena)
Radio: Vandal Radio Network/VandalXtra (online)
Online Video: ESPN3
Live Stats: www.WACSports.com
A Look at the Vandals:
Idaho finished the 2010-11 regular season 18-12 overall and 9-7 in WAC play to tie for third in the conference. The Vandals won six of their final eight games to end the season and give them their highest regular-season win total (18) since the 1992-93 season (23). The third-place WAC finish is their second in three years under head coach Don Verlin. Idaho is led by 2011 second-team all-WAC, Jeff Ledbetter, a senior guard who led the WAC in 3-pointers made (55) and free throw percentage (.875), and finished seventh in scoring average (15.1) in conference play this year. Idaho is one of the WAC's most efficient teams this year, as they shot a conference-best .471 from the field in WAC games, and held opponents to a .409 percentage. Idaho also led the league in 3-point shooting (.390) and were second in 3-point percentage defense (.298) in WAC play.
A Look at the Rainbow Warriors:
After starting conference play 0-5, Hawai`i rallied to win eight of its final 11 WAC games. UH is 18-11 overall and finished WAC play at 8-8. The Warriors join Idaho as one of the WAC's top defensive teams. Their .408 field goal percentage defense against WAC opponents ranked second in the conference, while their 5.00 blocked shots per game led the league. Hawai`i averaged 66.5 points on 43.9 percent shooting and allowed 70.1 points per game in WAC play. Zane Johnson's 15.9 scoring average led the team, but forward Bill Amis was a second-team all-WAC pick after averaging 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in league play.
A Look at the Spartans:
San Jose State went 15-14 overall and 5-11 in WAC play this season. The Spartans won four of their final six games to end the season. SJSU has played in four overtime games this year, and went 2-2 in extra time. SJSU averaged 71.2 points per game in conference play on 39.7 percent shooting, but gave up a 45.1 shooting percentage and 77.2 points per game. The Spartans feature the nation's third-leading scorer in Adrian Oliver, a first-team all-WAC honoree who puts in 24.3 points per game. Senior guard Justin Graham is a second-team all-WAC pick who was second in the WAC in assists and steals and eighth in scoring in conference play.
Unfamiliar Tournament Foes
After earning the #4 seed in the 2011 WAC Tournament, Idaho finds itself on the same side of the bracket as #5 Hawai`i, #8 San Jose State and #1 Utah State. The Vandals have faced just one of those teams, SJSU, in the WAC Tournament before. When they were Big West Conference members, Idaho and Utah State met once in the Big West Tournament, a 61-41 USU win in 2002. Idaho went 4-2 during the regular season against its side of the WAC Tournament bracket.
Hitting the (Half) Century Mark
Idaho's 78-69 victory over Seattle on Mar. 5, 2011, gave Don Verlin his 50th career win as a head coach, all at Idaho. He is the 11th coach in school history to reach 50 victories at Idaho. The quickest coach to 50 Idaho wins was David MacMillan, who did so in his 60th career game between 1920-23.
Shooting the Lights Out
Sophomore center Kyle Barone is well on his way to making some marks in the Idaho record book, but he's already got a spot to his name in Western Athletic Conference history. Barone's 64.5 percentage from the field in WAC play this year is the fifth-best league-only shooting percentage in WAC single-season history. His 61.4 percentage in all games this season is currently eighth-best in the Idaho record book.
Going Out as Winners
Idaho is 3-0 in Senior Night games under Don Verlin. Before Verlin, Idaho had lost nine consecutive Senior Day matchups. Idaho beat Fresno State, 59-56, in 2009 and took down Hawai`i, 78-69, last season. The Vandals beat Seattle, 78-69, to send Travis Blackstock, Shawn Henderson, Jeff Ledbetter and Brandon Wiley out with a win in their final home game.

Today's "Policy Initiative Spotlight" focuses on the sweeping education reforms taking place in the state of Louisiana, which is fast becoming a kind of national laboratory for proponents of choice-based school reforms. Renewing America contributor Steven J. Markovich looks at the initiative, and what's at stake for the larger debate over school reform.
The greatest long term threat to U.S. economic vitality may be the failure of the K-12 educational system to prepare students to compete in the global economy. While underperforming K-12 schools are a national concern, most control is exercised at the state and local levels.
On April 18, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed legislation into law overhauling Louisiana’s educational system. Prominent aspects include creating a statewide voucher program, empowering superintendents to deploy “merit pay,” and allowing a majority vote of parents to transfer control of poor performing schools to the state, called the “parent trigger."
The most hotly debated issue is vouchers. The legislation will extend the New Orleans voucher program statewide and raise the income threshold to include more middle class families; families of four earning roughly $57,000 or less should qualify. While 1,800 New Orleans students are attending schools with vouchers, an estimated 380,000 Louisiana students could be eligible, though state leaders expect only a few thousand to apply initially.
The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice and other proponents argue vouchers improve educational opportunities for children by giving parents the freedom to choose their child’s school and encouraging competition among public and private schools. Parents of voucher students seem to agree; 93 percent said they were satisfied in a survey by the voucher supporting Louisiana Federation for Children.
Not everyone is so sanguine. Andrew Vanacore of The Times-Picayune argues that while parental support is strong, there are not enough data to judge the impact on student performance. He cites mixed results from Louisiana test data, and studies of other voucher programs. Education pundit Diane Ravitch—who participated in Renewing America’s Expert Roundup on Education Reform and U.S. Competitiveness—recently wrote a blog entry on the legislation at EducationWeek, in which she stated that “[Louisiana State Superintendent John White] had no substantive response to my research review showing that charters, vouchers, and merit pay don't produce better education.”
There is considerable debate on the other measures of the Louisiana legislation. Proponents of merit pay—paying teachers according to performance or marketable skills—argue that it allows schools to reward the best teachers, and to attract people to the teaching field in subject areas such as science where there is greater competition in the general economy.
Washington DC’s merit pay program is touted as an important way to keep excellent young teachers teaching. The major public teacher unions, such as the American Federation of Teachers, generally oppose merit pay in favor of traditional salary schedules. Opponents of merit pay often claim that student test scores—an important component of most merit pay formulas—do not accurately capture student achievement and teacher performance.
The Louisiana legislation also gives parents the power to hand over operation of a failing school to the state controlled Recovery School District (RSD) with a majority vote. Governor Jindal argued for the “parent trigger” by stressing how it empowers parents: "This is about making sure all parents have an opportunity to get a quality education for their children." Detractors are concerned that charter operators may coax parents into voting for a takeover to create a business opportunity, because most RSD schools become public charters.
The Louisiana experience will be closely watched by the rest of the nation. The enactment of these policies may help provide data to better inform the debates over school choice and is likely to influence the reform efforts of other states.

Did you know? Although it’s about 30 feet long, the digestive tract needs smaller helpers, too: acids, enzymes and bacteria all help break down food.
Nervines are herbs that specifically helps support the nervous system.
The herbs listed in this article are highly valued for their antioxidant qualities and should be added to your diet! Either in teas, foods like salads or in supplement form.
Before we begin, let’s briefly look at what antioxidants and free-radicals are.
Antioxidants are the powerful nutritional allies that fight disease, cancer, and even the aging process. They are certain nutrients, minerals, phytochemicals, herbs, and enzymes that counteract the harmful effects of free radicals on the body. As the cells in your body burn food for energy, they also burn oxygen, a process that creates atoms, molecules, and portions of molecules known as free radicals. These toxic molecules contain unpaired electrons that bind to and destroy healthy cells, creating more free radicals to attack other healthy cells. This results in oxidative damage to cells and tissues. Free radicals also destroy and cause mutations in cells that render them unable to absorb the nutrients you need.
Free-radicals create “cell starvation” which, results in an inability to fight off disease.
Bilberry is a small edible dark blueberry of a low-growing shrub in Vaccinium family. Bilberry is scientifically referred as Vaccinium myrtillus. It is a close relative of blueberry, blaeberry, huckleberry and cranberry. The part used as an herb is the leaf portion of the plant.
This herb can lower blood pressure. It also protects the eyes; inhibits bacterial growth; has anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antiaging properties; and helps to lower blood sugar levels. The collagen-stabilizing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of bilberry extract make it helpful for the treatment of arthritis. Bilberry contains phytochemicals known as anthocyanidins, which studies indicate can provide up to fifty times the antioxidant protection of vitamin E and ten times the protection of vitamin C.
Burdock, known as Arctium. Remember the small burrs that often get stuck on your socks when walking through a forest? Those small burrs come from the burdock plant. Burdock is also from the Asteraceae family. It is relative of the sunflower, when taken in combination with vitamin E, is extremely effective for eliminating harmful free radicals. It also helps to prevent cell mutation, which might otherwise lead to cancer.
The root is the most used part of the plant for its properties. Burdock purifies the blood and, when prepared as a tea, has proven beneficial for treating chronic skin conditions such as acne and eczema, and ridding the body of kidney stones and gallstones. It eliminates toxins, supports digestion, and is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and protein.
Garlic is a species in the onion genus, Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek and chive. Garlic is extremely effective at neutralizing the effects of free radicals. Garlic is a powerful antioxidant with an amazing array of healing properties. Its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-parasitic and antiviral properties can protect you against a wide variety of harmful, disease-causing microbes and organisms. Evidence suggests that organo-sulfurs found in garlic may help to prevent hardening of the arteries. It has been known to protect the body against cholesterol buildup, prevent blood clots, and lower high blood pressure.
Garlic’s sulfur compounds have the ability to reduce the formation of carcinogenic compounds, inhibiting the growth of different types of cancer, including colon cancer.
Ginkgo biloba has a stabilizing effect on cellular membranes. It also has powerful antioxidant effects in the brain, retina, and cardiovascular system. Ginkgo has a stabilizing effect on cellular membranes. It also has powerful antioxidant effects in the brain, retina, and cardiovascular system. It is helpful for ordinary age-related memory loss, ringing in the ears, balance disorders, impotence and macular degeneration.
Green tea from the Camellia sinensis plant is rich in flavonoids and other compounds that may possess potent antioxidant properties. Drinking as little as one cup of green tea each day appears to offer some protection against heart disease. Green tea is the dried, unfermented, leaves of the plant. The fermentation process, which produces black tea, destroys most of the polyphenols, making black tea less effective as an antioxidant.
Milk thistle, also known as silymarin is from the Asteraceae family. It produces a compound extracted from the seeds of milk thistle, have been used for centuries to treat diseases of the liver. This powerful antioxidant guards the liver from oxidative damage; protects the liver from toxins, drugs, and the effects of alcohol (cirrhosis) and the hepatitis B and C viruses; and promotes the growth of new liver cells. Also, silymarin increases levels of glutathione, a potent antioxidant enzyme produced in the liver.
Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. What gives turmeric its anti-oxidant nature is phenolic nature of its key ingredient, curcumins. Studies have shown that curcuminoids are very effective in scavenging free radicals and neutralize them. Other substances in turmeric help remove toxic byproducts that may contribute to the formation of cancer cells. It soothes inflammation by reducing levels of histamine, a body chemical that is released as part of the immune response. It is available as a powdered root, in capsules, and as a liquid tincture.
Grapeseed and Pine Bark Extracts
Both grape seed extract and pine bark are rich in flavonoids known variously as procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs) and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). These are naturally occurring substances found throughout plant life, and are concentrated in grapeseed and pine bark extracts. PCOs, which are highly water soluble and are rapidly absorbed by the body, help to promote cardiovascular health, balance body fluids, and strengthen capillaries.
They also are believed to provide certain benefits for people with arthritis and allergies. The antioxidant effects are 50 times greater than that of vitamin C and E. A major advantage of these molecules is that they are taken up into the cell membranes and protect against both water- and fat soluble free-radicals.

The morning of Saturday September 4 2010 will be remembered by Cantabrians as the day the earth shook.
The earthquake that shook Christchurch and the Canterbury region that day, combined with the subsequent aftershocks, saw many families lose their homes, businesses damaged and schools closed.
Just days after the earthquake struck, Save the Children, a charity that looks after the need and welfare of children around the world, sent a team to Christchurch to examine where they could best assist. As a result of its investigations the charity arranged for thousands of Canterbury students, pre-schoolers, teachers and parents to attend workshop sessions in psychosocial counselling.
The workshops, which were held over a six week period, had the backing of the Ministry of Education as a way to help children come to terms with the earthquake and provide parents and teachers with tools and resources to support them.
Let children tell their story
Canterbury school children have been given the chance to tell their own personal story of the September earthquake with the creation of a dedicated website: www.whenmyhomeshook.co.nz.
“Ultimately we were helping schools, students, parents and caregivers return to a normal life in abnormal conditions,” says Dianne France, the technical assurance co-ordinator for Save the Children’s Reassurance Response Project.
“People weren’t traumatised and they didn’t need counselling, they just needed the skills to cope with what had happened,” she says. “They needed reassurance that their actions at the time were ok and that it was ok for their response to the earthquake to be different.”
And it is the adults’ response to these situations that can mean the difference between children getting back to relative normality quickly or continuing to have nightmares and fears.
Given New Zealand’s geography an earthquake, tsunami or volcanic eruption could happen anywhere and at any time. So what can schools do to help students regain some normality and sense of routine in the aftermath of a disaster?
“It is really important that teachers and principals provide appropriate models of behaviour,” says France. “Children learn how to react and respond from adults and need to see the adults around them managing their own lives. It’s ok to fall apart, but don’t do it in front of the children.”
Reinforcing drills around what to do if an earthquake or natural disaster strikes again is also important. “Uncertainty is very scary, so make sure students know what to do if it happens again,” says France. Allowing students to have a lot of time for drawing and creative exploration will help them relive the event and creatively express their feelings. However it can also allow them to look towards the future. “One child was continually building with his Lego then making the buildings tumble down, reliving what he had experience. He was then encouraged to build a new Christchurch and explore a positive future.”
Schools also need to work with parents and build up their trust that the school can care for their children if something was to happen during school hours. “It’s important for children to get back to their normal social networks and have fun,” says France. “People are often too scared to have fun and become hyper-vigilant, anxious and too scared to trust other people with their children. Schools need to provide reassurance that appropriate responses and drills are in place.”
And finally, says France, it is best to be honest about what is happening and take the time to listen to students. “Ask them questions about how they are feeling and why they think certain things. Then take the time to provide information and explain it as honestly as you can without giving them too much detail,” she says.
For the most part, however, students, teachers, principals and parents all need to talk and debrief. “Schools are in a great place to provide situations where people can talk to each other and share their stories,” she says.

Chinchillas cannot eat cardboard as it can be harmful to their digestive system. Chinchillas have a delicate digestive system and should stick to a specific diet to maintain their health.
While they may be known for their ability to chew on various objects, cardboard is not a suitable material for them to consume. Ingesting cardboard can lead to digestive blockages and other potential health issues for chinchillas. It is important to provide them with a balanced diet that consists of hay, pellets, and occasional treats specifically designed for chinchillas.
We will explore the reasons why chinchillas should not eat cardboard and provide alternative options for their chewing needs. So, let’s delve into this topic and learn more about chinchilla nutrition.
Understanding Chinchilla Digestive System
Chinchillas have a unique digestive system that requires a careful understanding. Their digestive system consists of key components that play a vital role in their overall health. Bacteria, for example, plays a significant role in breaking down food in their gut.
It helps extract nutrients and aids in the digestion process. However, when it comes to feeding chinchillas, it’s important to note that they cannot eat cardboard. Cardboard is not suitable for their digestion and can cause blockages or other health problems.
Instead, their diet should consist of hay, pellets, and limited portions of fresh fruits and vegetables. By understanding the digestive system of chinchillas and providing them with a proper diet, you can ensure their health and well-being.
Risks And Benefits Of Cardboard Consumption
Cardboard consumption can have both risks and benefits for chinchillas. While there are potential risks associated with chinchillas eating cardboard, such as digestive issues and blockages, allowing them to chew on cardboard can provide benefits as well. Chinchillas have a natural instinct to chew, and cardboard can help satisfy this need, keeping their teeth healthy and preventing overgrowth.
It also provides mental stimulation and can help prevent boredom. However, it is important to find the right balance for cardboard consumption, allowing chinchillas to chew on it in moderation. Too much cardboard consumption can lead to health problems, so it is important to monitor their intake.
Providing alternative chews and toys can also help divert their attention from cardboard.
Safe Alternatives To Cardboard For Chinchillas
Cardboard is not a safe chew toy for chinchillas due to potential digestive issues. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives available. One such option is wooden chew toys, which can provide a safe and satisfying chewing experience. Natural lava blocks are also suitable for chinchillas, as they help to wear down their continuously growing teeth.
Another alternative to consider is pumice stones, which are great for maintaining dental health. When introducing new chew toys, it is important to do so gradually, allowing your chinchilla to become familiar with each item. This can be done by placing the toy near their cage initially and then gradually moving it closer.
By offering a variety of safe chew toys, you can keep your chinchilla entertained while also ensuring their dental and overall health.
After discussing the topic of whether chinchillas can eat cardboard, it is clear that while chinchillas may show an interest in chewing on cardboard, it is not recommended as a part of their regular diet. Cardboard can pose several risks to chinchillas, such as choking hazards, digestive blockages, and potential exposure to harmful chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, chinchillas have specific dietary requirements that should be met through a balanced diet consisting of hay, pellets, and occasional treats. To ensure the overall well-being of your chinchilla, it is important to provide them with appropriate chew toys and treats specifically designed for their needs.
These toys help maintain dental health and prevent boredom. Always consult with a veterinarian or a qualified chinchilla expert for specific dietary advice and guidance on suitable chew toys. Remember, your furry friend’s health and safety should always be a top priority.

Bruno first issues albums in his own name in the mid ’80s. Some of those were recorded in New York (see “discography”).
This is the start of an intensely production period. In the '80s, he starts to play live in the most famous jazz clubs in the world, performing with both guitar and harmonica.
He performs in New York at the Blue Note, the Town Hall Theatre and at Birdland. In Chicago, he plays at the Green Mill. In Key West, he stars at the Pier House.
In Italy he performs at the Opera Theatre in Rome and at Milan’s Conservatorio della Musica. He also plays in jazz clubs in Germany as well as at the Philarmonic Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia and at Hong Kong's Convention Hall.
Bruno also played at many jazz festivals, including “Jazz at the Tropics” in Miami, USA, the “Django Reinhardt Festival” in Fontainbleu, France and the “Jakarta Jazz Festival”, Indonesia.
The tune “Soft Drink”, composed in 1985, is a swing he frequently uses to open his concerts. In a very short time this tune is so identified with him by his musician friends that it becomes a sort of Bruno’s brand. Nowadays his colleagues frequently play "Soft Drink" in his honor.

Thank you to my young friend Kate Spring for sharing this Mary Oliver poem in a recent blog, a blog I encourage you to follow as she is a wise person and a wonderful writer. The poem really connects for me at the end of this crazy year:
There have certainly been many times this year I’ve felt hesitant and, thankfully, many more when I’ve felt joyous. This world, even for all the horror we have created, is truly rich and so satisfyingly full of love.
In the past year I’ve made nearly 6000 photographs. Of course many are due to be put in the trash can and some I’ve not even (really) looked at yet, but I’ve had fun these past couple of days sorting through them. My intent had been to find one photograph to share from each month but ended up with a few more than that. Please forgive me and enjoy what you can. I’ll post some on each of the days remaining in the year. Do click on any of these small images to see them larger.
Winter is an essential part of Vermont and I love to photograph ice and snow:
Often I’m out with my good friend Rob Spring, a fabulous photographer and father of Kate. This is a small stream we photograph all year round, extra carefully in the winter! We find ice with endless patterns and textures, true treasures!
And while I love to move in close and see abstractions, the Vermont landscape in the winter also deserves being seen, no matter the temperature!
As much as I love the Green Mountains, I also enjoy flying to other places and photographing both from the air—here is Lake Erie…
…and on the ground, here in Central Park:
Sometimes I just buy tulips from a local grower and pretend spring is on its way!
As the sun gets higher in the spring, Vermonter’s thoughts turn to “sugaring”—the fine art of tapping maples trees and boiling the sap down into syrup. The steam plumes, the smells, the whole experience is a remarkable fever for all of us!
Bare branches begin to give way to swelling buds and then leaves and all of a sudden we find ourselves mostly out of winter and nearly into spring.
Here is the last remaining large American Elm in Montpelier, with winter muscles and then the yellow fur of early flowers and leaves.
While I have often found snow covering the daffodils, even then it is undeniable that winter is short-lived.
And then more and more flowers and leaves, all powered by the sun.
More tomorrow! Until then, please don’t hesitate. And thank you for your support in 2018. The New Year starts with the opening of a new show I’m doing with my good friend and collaborator, Dianne Shullenberger, called “Listening to Rocks.”
Dear John Snell,
This compilation reveals what an amazing photographer you are.
Fan from Bainbridge Island Washington
John, I love your photos of ice, and the daffodils, too! Thank you so much for reading my blog, too—you and Liz are both such important and constant sources of encouragement ❤

For all of you life-long Leonardo DiCaprio fans out there, you’re going to want to read this good. I don’t know what’s going on with Leo’s love life. As we all know, he’s been dating ‘Bar Refaeli’. Recently though, reports have shown that him and Gossip Girl star, Blake Lively, have been heating things up.
Player or Committed Boyfriend?
Here’s what one site said:
“They [Blake Lively and Leonardo Dicaprio] were on the balcony together for an hour,” a source told New York Postgossip. “They were standing close in a corner and looked like there was a lot of flirting. Later, they were together again by the bar.” Other guests at the party include Colin Farrell, Charlize Theron,Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera. DiCaprio’s longtime girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, was nowhere in sight.
Extremely strange considering what this next article is saying:
Leonardo DiCaprio is planning to convert to Judaism so that he can marry girlfriend Bar Refaeli. The 36-year-old Inception star — a non-practicing Catholic — has made several secret visits to Israel where Bar, his girlfriend of five years, comes from. “Leo’s sudden intense interest in Israel, its culture and religion is the clearest sign yet that he intends to marry Bar,” a source told Britain’s Mail on Sundaynewspaper. “He has been staying with her in a hotel in Tel Aviv for a few days at a time recently so that he can avoid the photographers outside her apartment in a nearby suburb.” … Read More
All of these articles are fantastic! According to this next one, it says that Leo wants to settle down and start a family with Bar.
“We believe a marriage proposal is imminent.” Leo recently booted his best pal Lukas Haas out of his Hollywood Hills home so Bar could move in with him. “Leo caved in and asked Bar to move in with him after she basically gave him an ultimatum,” a source said earlier this month. “She virtually threatened to walk unless Leo gave up his bachelor ways. She meant it.” The Hollywood hunk, 35, recently admitted he’s “starting to think more and more” about getting married and starting a family.
With all of these articles, I’m not sure what to believe. Although, it would be great to see him settle down!

James Barding, a 60-year-old practicing attorney, was charged in a sealed superseding indictment last Wednesday. The indictment was made public Tuesday during his first court appearance.
Barding allegedly helped his 38-year-old Ukrainian national girlfriend, Darya Chernova, who entered the U.S. on a student visa and attended Lincoln University before earning a masterâ??s degree from the University of Missouri, try to find a U.S. citizen to marry her so she could stay in the country. Court documents allege that Barding offered Helias High School teacher and tennis coach Tim Dunville $36,000 to marry Chernova.
Also listed as co-defendants on the superseding indictment were 32-year-old Oleksandr Nikolayevich Druzenko, also known as "Alex" or "Sasha," of Jefferson City, and 60-year-old Patricia Ewalt of El Paso, Texas.
Druzenko and Ewalt were friends with Barding and Chernova, who helped Druzenko find a U.S. Citizen (Ewalt) to marry in 2007 so he could stay in the country after graduating. The pair met in March 2007 and were married on June 22, 2007. Druzenko then obtained lawful permanent resident status on Jan. 2, 2008.
The co-defendants were originally charged in an Oct. 3, 2012 federal indictment. The superseding indictment also includes additional charges against some of the defendants.
All four were charged with participating in a conspiracy to defraud the U.S., to commit marriage fraud, and to gain resident status and citizenship through false statements. They were also charged together in one count of marriage fraud, as well as one count of attempting to unlawfully procure citizenship or naturalization. Druzenko and Ewalt were charged together in three counts that are related to making false statements on immigration forms.

Republican Floor Leader Bryan Posthumus, Assistant Republican Leader Andrew Beeler, and Assistant Republican Floor Leader Andrew Fink, who was denied the opportunity to speak, on Thursday issued the following statement after Democrats denied Republicans the chance to speak against House Bill 4001, which would block an automatic income tax cut for Michiganders and small businesses:
“The Democratic majority is doing whatever they can to pass a tax hike onto families and small businesses throughout Michigan. This bill was written in secret, efforts were made behind the scenes to strong-arm members, and Republicans weren’t allowed to stand up for Michigan taxpayers and speak against this — violating our right to debate. Democrats did all of this to prevent a permanent income tax rollback that would help make life more affordable for all Michiganders. This is exactly why people across our state don’t trust what is going on in Lansing. Even one House Democrat called this ‘political suicide’ — and that’s exactly what this secret tax hike is.”
State Rep. Andrew Beeler, the assistant House Republican leader, on Thursday criticized new Democratic legislation to give union bosses more leverage over workers, fund union dues with tax credits, and allow unions to skirt campaign finance limits.
State Rep. Andrew Beeler on Wednesday criticized Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration for adding $750 million in taxpayer funding to a previously announced plan to pay to help Ford Motor Co. establish a new electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall.

NYC Government Afraid of Its Own Police Force
Official NYC housing authority posters?
All those working for the New York City housing authority will now be required to wear orange vests at all times when out on the job so they don't get murdered by "trigger happy" police officers. They're also required to wear their ID badges around their necks rather than keep them in their pockets, because reaching into one's pocket is yet another incredibly common action that could cause a police officer to murder someone. Given that it's not at all uncommon for the NYPD to shoot people for no reason inside of public housing complexes, this is probably a pretty sound policy from the perspective of the housing authority. Of course, from the perspective that police are supposed to be, oh I don't know, protecting and defending people, this seems pretty fucking crazy. I mean, we already live in a world in which we are apparently supposed to accept the fact that police will regularly kill innocent people for no reason. But it seems like an entirely new level of crazy that the very government which supposedly oversees and controls these people has taken to having to defend its other employees from its murderous employees. It seems like a simpler solution might be to just make the police stop murdering people for no reason, but failing that, I guess orange vests are an ok start...

Tyrone have added two newcomers to their squad ahead of Sunday’s McKenna Cup opener with neighbours Donegal at Healy Park. Ciaran Gervin and Paddy McNeice have been called up by manager Mickey Harte in a move that will give the Red Hands greater options in attack.
Both players enjoyed superb underage careers with both playing up front on the Tyrone minor side that won the All Ireland title in 2008 by beating Mayo in the final after a replay. Gervin also helped St.Patricks Academy Dungannon to MacRory and Hogan Cup glory in the same year while McNeice won an All Ireland Vocational schools medal with Tyrone twelve months prior to that.
They have been rewarded for superb seasons with their respective clubs in 2010. McNeice returned from injury to play a key role as Coalisland secured their first Tyrone senior championship title in twenty years while Gervin was a central figure for Derrylaughan as they returned to the top flight in Tyrone club football when annexing the Intermediate championship title. Both players are set to figure prominently for Raymond Munroe and Cathal McAnenly’s county U21 side this season as well.

Dr Sunday Ibrahim is currently the state secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State chapter, as well as the financial secretary of the 19 Northern CAN and FCT, Abuja. He spoke with MUHAMMAD SABIU on the recently concluded election that ushered in new CAN National President as well as on the crisis that followed after the election. Excerpts :
Has the 19 Northern CAN pulled out of the parent body as being speculated?
Thank you for that question. I think as the state secretary of CAN, Kaduna State chapter as well as the Financial Secretary of the 19 Northern CAN and FCT, Abuja, I can speak on this being an insider. I really want to appeal to the concerned brethrens who are bitter on the outcome of the recently concluded elections that ushered in new officials of the Christian body to look at the other direction and embrace peace by seeking audience with the Northern CAN. There is this belief that if you see somebody crying, definitely there must be something that he or she is not happy about. So, I am of the opinion that both the Northern CAN and our parent body should reach out to them and discuss the issue at stake. CAN is a credible body that is made up of credible leadership that enjoys tremendous support and respect. There is no doubt in my mind about the capacity of the present leadership to deliver. So, the leadership should have a roundtable discussion with these aggrieved brethrens. This will help us and help the country. My advice to them is that they should please sheath their sword and engage the national leadership in dialogue. Like I keep saying that we will settle all rifts. Yes, the bottom line is to have the wisdom to sit down and talk as a family.
But the aggrieved group was saying that the Northern delegates did not particicipate in the election that ushered in the can president. Can you elaborate on this?
It is true we did not participate. But I want to beg them to forget what has taken place as it is now in the past. We are trying to let go of what transpired. We that came from Kaduna also suffered from the outcome of the convention, but we told one another that we should move forward and put the past behind us. What has happened has happened. We support the new leadership. We are reaching out to the concerned brethrens and I want to advise the leadership that when it engages in dialogue, it should shift grounds so that the other party will be ready to accept its hands of friendship.
What is your take on the persistent killings in the North in the name of religion?
It is very sad, barbaric, wicked and inhuman, that a fellow human being will slaughter his fellow being like chicken. There are people that cannot slaughter a chicken even though they are quite aware that chickens were meant to be eaten. Nigeria is a secular state. No religion can claim to have rights over the other. We must appreciate one another and live in peace with one another.
We, therefore, stand to condemn the wanton killings of innocent souls in some of these Northern states and equally call that those involved must be fished out and prosecuted. I think when government is serious, people will be cautious and will not like to commit any offence. Now, what has government done to the recent killings in Abuja, Nassarawa, Kano and Zamfara states. Government has the responsibility to protect the lives of its citizens, except it is now telling us that they can no longer protect us and that we should protect ourselves. These barbaric acts must be checked or else it will shake the foundation of the nation. Also, we should be praying for our leaders because it is not easy to govern a country like Nigeria. But I want to tell Mr President that Nigerians are suffering and that there is hunger in the land. There is poverty. It is now glaring that people steal from the pots. So government, both at the federal and state levels, should pay workers their salaries. I sincerely believe the government can do better.

Restaurant Suntory first opened its doors on September 15, 1980 in Waikiki, where it remains the last original tenant of Royal Hawaiian Center. Over the years, Restaurant Suntory has built an impressive reputation among locals and travelers alike for consistently delivering exceptional Japanese dining experiences that emphasize authentic dishes, quality drinks, and unparalleled omotenashi (hospitality).
Owned by Suntory Holdings, the restaurant is part of an international chain that was created with the goal of sharing Japanese culture and cuisine in foreign countries under the Suntory brand name. Hawaii has long been a place that many Japanese people love visiting and even relocating to, so the tie between these two island nations is very clear. In addition, Hawaii’s status as a global destination for paradise seekers makes it an ideal choice for welcoming visitors from all corners of the world.
Hailing from Japan, Chef Go Kamikubo joined Restaurant Suntory in 2016, bringing over 20 years of experience under one of the country’s most notable culinary stars, Iron Chef Rokusaburou Michiba. Prior to taking on his current role as executive chef, Kamikubo spent 8 years at the acclaimed Japanese restaurant, Rokusantei, and 13 years at Kaishoku Michiba (both located in the glamorous Ginza district of Tokyo).
As an apprentice, Kamikubo learned all the traditional techniques, skills, and flavors that go into crafting exceptional, authentic Japanese cuisine. He also picked up two core beliefs that he still carries with him to this day. The first is to create no waste. While this can be a challenge at times, a great chef is one who can think flexibly when it comes to utilizing all the ingredients, so that none goes to waste. The second belief is to seek out and take advantage of the seasonal ingredients available to you. The quality will always be better when in season, which makes for a much tastier meal.
Something else Kamikubo frequently recalls is this important lesson from his mentor: “an amazing dish can be a moment of joy.” This is what really drives him to continuously perfect his craft and refine Restaurant Suntory’s menu — the idea that you can spread happiness to each customer that comes through the door by doing your best cooking every day.
Under Kamikubo’s guidance, Restaurant Suntory remains one of the best Japanese dining experiences Hawaii has to offer. His expertise in preparing fine Japanese cuisine along with his attention to quality and creative desire to explore local ingredients have positioned Restaurant Suntory as a true bridge between East and West. Moving forward, Kamikubo hopes to continue teaching Japanese food culture to visiting guests while sharing Hawaii’s local food culture with Japanese customers.

Amphion Innovations, plc Creation of a Gulf-based Joint Venture
16 January 2007, London, UK - Amphion Innovations plc (“Amphion”), a builder of companies in life sciences and technology, today announces that it has signed a Heads of Agreement with a Gulf-based investment company, MS Holdings, backed by the Al-Sayer and Al-Mutawa families of Kuwait, to create a Gulf-based joint venture, MSA Investors (“MSA”).
The Gulf Cooperation Council countries of the Arabian Gulf now represent the fastest growing economy after China and India. Building on Amphion’s company-building strategy and its long-standing ties to the region, the joint venture’s objective will be to create new markets and strategic partnerships for Amphion’s Partner Companies, identify new investment opportunities in the region in areas of particular Amphion expertise and provide strong access to capital and opportunities from both existing and new Gulf investors.
Under the Heads of Agreement, Amphion commits to the formation and incorporation of MSA and to the establishment and operation of two additional companies to be managed by MSA, Saydanah and Suvani. Amphion’s Gulf partners have committed US$1 million to the creation of these companies and additional investment upon their completion.
Saydanah is being established by our partners in the region in order to bring “functional foods” to a sizeable and wealthy Arab market. Saydanah will be built upon Amphion’s experience and expertise in the field of nutrigenomics, a science that identifies foods that alter gene expression for better health, through its Partner Company, WellGen.
Suvani, which has previously been incorporated by Amphion, is currently providing skilled software and technology support services from India to Amphion Partner Companies, Motif and FireStar. Under the Heads of Agreement, Suvani will be merged with a Gulf-based radio frequency identification company (RFID), to be developed by MSA, with the aim of servicing a growing Gulf RFID market. It is expected that the new company will acquire an exclusive right to distribute the products in the Gulf of Amphion’s Partner Company, Axcess, a leading RFID company.
The Gulf partners have committed to provide an additional US$3.5 million to fund the further development of MSA and its companies upon their formation. Amphion will also transfer 500,000 shares in Motif to MSA in return for a 50% interest in the new Company. Following its initial capitalization, MSA will have an estimated enterprise value of $10 million.
MSA is expected to be formed no later than 1 March 2007. In the event that MSA is not formed, then MSA shall invest the US$1 million by way of subscribing for 166,667 shares in Motif, and investing US$500,000 in the Gulf-based companies to be formed by Amphion in the future.
Richard C.E. Morgan Amphion’s Chief Executive Officer states:
“The last several years have seen dramatic economic development in the Gulf, which has been matched by rapid growth in the region’s capital markets. While the region is relatively rich in capital and in talented people, there is little experience of building companies based on cutting edge technology. With Amphion’s 20 year history and track record of investment and close relationships in the Gulf region, we look forward to bringing our core strategy of building strong companies with solid intellectual property to the Gulf.”

N.C. State is focused on controlling the controllables.
After last weekend’s highly anticipated showdown with No. 12 West Virginia was scuttled due to Hurricane Florence, the Wolfpack can not afford to look back.
This week the Pack hits the road to take on Marshall in what is, at least for the time being, the final nonconference test of the campaign.
Had the game against the Mountaineers taken place, State could have had a marquee victory against a top-tier opponent — the kind that propels a program — or just as easily had a brutal loss that rendered this season’s squad an afterthought only a quarter of the way into it.
Instead the next contest for the Wolfpack, while still involving a school from West Virginia, does not have the same national allure.
It does present problems.
Marshall awaits N.C. State with the opportunity to settle a score from last season and claim a win over a Power Five school at Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia — one of the toughest places to play in the country.
“It’s not ideal, but it’s out of our control too, so you make the most of it,” N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren said of the unexpected off week. “I told the players you try to find a positive in everything. We were a little beat up at the time. .. I think having that chance to kind of hit reset, catch up on our sleep and it was good for all of us.”
Of the Thundering Herd, which the Wolfpack dispatched by a 37-20 score last season at Carter-Finley Stadium, Doeren said: “They are 2-0 and (were) 8-5 last season. The biggest thing that jumps out as is they’ve got 17 of 22 starters back when you look at their offense and defensive teams. ... Basically the entire defense that we played against and they played us well.”
TE ANGELINE CLEARED
One player the Wolfpack will have available to attack the Marshall defense is tight end Cary Angeline. The transfer from Southern California was ordered to sit out three weeks by the NCAA following his arrival. The cancellation of the West Virginia contest means it is now only a two-game absence.
Angeline will get a look Saturday.
“We’re going to get him going in practice this week and see where he’s at,” Doeren said. “He’s been on the scout team getting ready. It’s not going to be like all of a sudden he’s out there getting 30 catches in a game. He’s going to have to work his way into playing and blocking, but he will play. He’ll be a part of what we do and he’ll work his way in.”
The hope for N.C. State is that the addition of talent at the tight end position will also help its lagging running game take off before conference play.
“Getting Dylan Autenrieth (from injury) back is a big deal for some of our run game and adding him and Cary at the same time presents more opportunity for us personnel-wise,” Doeren said.
STUCK ON 11
The loss of the 12th game was not ideal for the Wolfpack.
It could have ramifications later in the season but N.C. State is grateful that would be the extent of any damage.
“I would love to have a 12th game, personally, but it has to fit what we want,” Doeren said Monday. “We have a bye week that we want to keep for the reasons it was put there, middle of the year before Clemson and everyone else.
“Obviously here we weren’t hit as hard (by the hurricane) as I expected. I’m really proud of our operation staff. A lot happened last week in a pretty short period of time. We know (Marshall’s) fans will be great and we’ll see where the weather goes. We’re expecting to be wet when we play on Saturday and we’ll do our best to prepare for that as we always would.”

In power systems, ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of electrical equipment is of utmost importance. This is where three-phase relays come into play. These advanced devices are specifically designed to provide protection, control, and monitoring of three-phase electrical systems, safeguarding them against potential faults and abnormalities.
Three-phase relays are widely used in various applications, ranging from utility power distribution networks to industrial plants and commercial buildings.
They play a crucial role in protecting key components of the electrical system, such as motors, generators, transformers, and transmission lines.
The primary function of a three-phase relay is to detect abnormal conditions and signal for protective action. This is achieved by continuously monitoring various electrical parameters, including voltage, current, frequency, and power factor. When the monitored data exceeds preset thresholds or deviates from expected values, the relay triggers an alarm or initiates a trip signal, isolating the faulty section and preventing further damage to the system.
One vital feature of three-phase relays is their ability to distinguish between different types of faults, such as overcurrent, undervoltage, overvoltage, over-frequency, under-frequency, and reverse power flow. By accurately identifying the fault type, the relay can selectively operate the appropriate protection mechanism, improving the overall system reliability and minimizing downtime.
Another significant advantage of three-phase relays is their extensive communication capabilities. With the advent of digital technology, modern relays can be integrated into advanced automation systems, allowing for real-time monitoring, remote configuration, and data logging. This enables power system operators to access critical information and make informed decisions promptly.
Three-phase relays are built using state-of-the-art technologies, incorporating microprocessors, digital signal processors, and advanced algorithms.
These advancements have made relays more intelligent, robust, and versatile, capable of handling complex protection schemes and adapting to diverse system requirements.

THE HEADS of the Valleys road, where Jade Emanuel and Rhiannon Davies died, is one of South Wales’s most dangerous roads and needs an urgent upgrade, it has been claimed.
The Merthyr Tydfil to Hirwaun section of the – also known as the Baverstock Road – has been the scene of multi-car pile-ups and dramatic rescues in recent months.
Rescue workers believe the teenagers’ deaths will not be the last to hit the A465 unless the dualling of the Neath-to-Abergavenny road is completed.
The Welsh Assembly Government has promised to carry out the work, but Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney AM Huw Lewis fears the project could be abandoned in favour of other projects, like North-to-South Wales road links.
“We must waste no time in reacting to the senseless litany of injury and death on this stretch of road,” he said. “That is what the assembly government has promised to do.”
Brendan Toomey, a Merthyr Tydfil firefighter with 24 years’ experience, said he has lost count of the number of avoidable deaths and serious accidents on the road he called “obsolete”.
A WAG spokeswoman said: “Improvements have already been undertaken on the A465 between Merthyr Tydfil and Hirwaun over recent years.
“Accident sites will be ranked according to priority and design work commenced to improvements to road safety.”

J&J faulty hip-implants: SC closes case citing Center's compensation scheme
The bench, comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul, says that steps have been taken by the Center to provide compensation up to Rs. 1.22 crore to them.
Read the details here.
Widely publicize compensation scheme, ensure maximum coverage: SC to Center
The bench considered the response filed by the Union Health Ministry, which said a compensation scheme has been formulated by it to ensure proper compensation to the victims of faulty hip implants.
Disposing of the PIL filed by Arun Goenka, SC asked the Center to widely publicize its compensation scheme to ensure that all the victims of such implants seek help for their grievances.
4,525 Indian patients fitted with 'faulty' hip implants since 2005
Earlier, the Center had informed the apex court that the report of its panel on alleged faulty hip implants, made by the pharma major was ready and would be filed within a week.
The PIL had alleged that "faulty" and "deadly" hip implants have been fitted into the bodies of 4,525 Indian patients who had undergone the replacement surgeries since 2005.
