Peter Jones is more valuable than Sara, right?
Despite Sara having a sizable net worth, Peter Jones, who has a net worth of £480 million, continues to be the wealthiest dragon.
On the 2019 Sunday Times Rich List, Richard is ranked number 283.
Approximately £49,846,200 is regarded as Deborah Meaden’s net worth.

Even though she is wealthy, Sara Davies has her kid labour for £2 each day.
She said in an interview with the Mirror that she didn’t want her children to experience upbringing that was different from her own since she was now much wealthy.
I started off at age six working in my parents’ decorating shop. I worked for my mother every Saturday, smoothing the wallpaper and cleaning the paint for 50p.
My five-year-old kid will assist at the store my sister operates. Where she will have him do the identical task that I did at the time.
He’ll receive a few pounds with some inflation, I’m sure. I’m not as good at bargaining as my guys are.

Another blog post for Hero Complex written by animation historian Charles Solomon. Anyone see what he got wrong?
After 15 years, 700 TV episodes and 14 feature films, Ash Ketchum and millions of kids are still trying to catch ’em all.
In April 1997, the animated version of “Pokémon” premiered on Japanese television. Based on the hit Nintendo Game Boy title introduced two years earlier, the series follows the travels and travails of Ketchum (Satoshi in the original) as he tries to become a Pokémon Master by building a team that can beat other trainers in stylized battles. Traveling with Ash are perennially love-sick Brock, feisty Misty and Pikachu, the “electric mouse” Pokémon.
The series scored a huge hit in Japan, and by 1999 the game and show had conquered America. Pokémon paraphernalia were everywhere. The original motto, “Pokémon Getto Daze!” (Let’s Get Pokémon!) became “Gotta Catch ’em All!” The first “Pokémon” feature film grossed more than $85 million, and horror stories appeared on the news about…

This has been quite the week for high-profile ports to mobile, with the likes of Rogue Legacy and Dear Esther making their way to iOS. And now, Devolver Digital is getting in on the action by announcing that its gorgeous, narrative-driven platformer ‘GRIS’ is heading to iOS on August 22nd.

GRIS, if you didn’t know, is an indie platformer that sees you travelling through a dreamlike world boasting some of the most striking visuals you’ll see in a game. Every second of GRIS could well be your next PC background; it’s constantly, aggressively pretty. Backing up that one-of-a-kind aesthetic is a powerful story that explores our player character’s deteriorating mental health and gradual recovery.

Starting out, you’ll barely even be able to move as your character crumbles to the floor at every tap of the jump button. Gradually, you’ll unlock new abilities that’ll allow you to smash through the scenery and even swim gracefully underwater. Platformer enthusiasts might find it to be a little on the simple side, but there are still unlockable skills aplenty to master and a satisfying difficulty curve to deal with.

It first launched for Switch late last year where it found a surprisingly sizable audience. We reviewed GRIS at the time, saying ‘you're not going to forget GRIS in a hurry. Forgive its sins and let it wrap you up in its warmth and beauty, and you'll walk away very pleased indeed’.

He preached pure maid and praised cold chastity.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long!
Nine months and 12 days (if my math is correct (which it's often not)). Bloody hell! I'm SO sorry! I'm so So sorry! I never meant for that to happen. I got caught up with my other stories so much. And I seemed to have had a bit of writer's block with this one. I DID have the document open most of the time, if that helps. I sit there with about 20 stories (possibly an under-exaggeration) open and work on what ever one I feel like.
But, I promise this won't happen again. I've got the flow going, and I'm carrying on with the next chapter once I have this one up.
I know it seems a little rushed, but that's the feel you get from the entire scene from the show. Hope you like it.
Rose looked up at the Doctor in worry. The Master had just left last night. He knew where Martha was, and worse, he knew where their children were. He had arrived back about an hour ago, but he had not come to gloat. In fact, they hadn't heard a word since he had left.
It made both her and the Doctor extremely unnerved. Especially since the Master had hidden their children from them again. They had no idea where they were.
About ten minutes ago, Rose had been taken away to be cleaned up. She was now clean, showered and in a nice new dress. It was TARDIS blue, and almost matched Lucy's red dress. Unfortunately, it was even tighter than the last one. Her breasts were all but spilling out, and her post-pregnancy belly was even more prominent… even though she could have sworn it had gone down half the size. She did know a thing or two about pregnancy, and after twins, she still should have looked pregnant. Then, after that, she had been taken back, escorted by a guard. This time she was not tied up, only held in place.
And only a few minutes ago, there had been an announcement over the speakers requesting certain people to the bridge
The room was being filled up with Valiant workers and prisoners. Rose was most surprised to see a dirty, ragged, slightly older Jack. He had seemed pretty surprised to see her too. To be honest, Jack looked like he had been through hell, but on seeing her, his eyes filled with both hope and fear. And across the room, she could see the Jones family.
Then the lift doors opened, and the Master strode through, holding a small bundle in his arms. Out the top of the new cloth, she could see the light brown tuft of hair that was her daughter's.
"Freya!" she shouted. Snatching her hand from her guard, she attempted to run to her child, but she was roughly yanked back before she could even take a few steps. Now the guard held her even tighter. All she could do was glair at the Master as he walked past her and up the flight of stairs to the main deck. Though it angered her, she felt slightly relieved now that she could see one of her children… one of them. "Where's Jack?" She shouted at him.
"Right here, Rosie," Jack said, being held not far down from her.
She shot him a quick apologetic smile before turning fiercely back to the monster on his stage. "Where is my son?!"
Finally, the Master turned back to her. "Oh, the boy? Yes, a friend of yours is bringing him soon. His name's not Jack anymore. Terrible name, not fitting of his origins. What on Earth possessed you to call him that?" Rose just glared at him. "No, I was thinking of a name a little more suited to a Time Lord. Koschi, maybe? I know it was just a nickname, but I was always quite partial to it."
"His name is Jack," Rose ground out.
"And you won't be seeing 'Jack' after today, until you learn that you do as I say, Miss Tyler. I'm being nice enough to let you live, so you can look after them… you should thank me." Rose just stood her ground, glairing at him with all the fury she had. The Master just shrugged, waving in Sarah Jane, who was carrying another small bundle. "Oh, and speaking of letting people live and die, I'm not sure what to do with this one." Sarah Jane looked around at everyone, her face a stony mask, but the expression was given away by the fear in her eyes. "However, there is one that I do know the fate of… Martha Jones."
He handed Gallifreya off to Lucy and gestured to the doors with a flourish, and turned his back to them. Rose rolled her eyes. Was this guy always one for such dramatics?
Just after his gesture, the doors slid open to reveal a pretty, dark skinned woman dressed all in black. One of the guards behind her gave her a nudge with the butt of his gun, and she started walking slowly up the path towards the Master. The Master turned to look at her, a smug look on his face.
On her way past, she looked about the room. Up at the Master. Over to the Jones's, her family. To Jack. The Doctor. Sarah Jane and her children. Rose could see the surprise on Martha's face when she saw her. She wondered what the companion had heard about her.
Finally she came to a stand still at the bottom of the stairs, and the Master walked half way down to meet her.
"Your teleport device," he said, his hand outstretched. "In case you thought I'd forgotten." With a sour look, she took something that Rose recognised as Jack's Vortex Manipulator from her pocket, and tossed it up to the Master. "And now. Kneel."
Martha did as she was told, not even a hint of defiance left… What was wrong with her? She still had so much left to fight for. Her family were right there, the Doctor, her friend… How could she stand to just give up and let them all be at the mercy of that psychopath?
"Down below the fleet is ready to launch," the Master went on. Rose saw the fear in Sarah Jane's eyes and vaguely remembered a conversation about rockets. "Two hundred thousand ships, set to burn across the universe." He went over to the comm. and spoke into it. "Are we ready?"
"The fleet awaits your signal. Rejoice!" a voice replied.
"Three minutes to align the black hole converters. Counting down!" On the wall, a clock began counting down with loud, digital beeps. "I never could resist a ticking clock," he grinned. "My children, are you ready?"
"We will fly and blaze and slice! We will fly and blaze and slice!" a creepy chorus of child like voices echoes around them.
"At zero, to mark this day, the child, Martha Jones, will die. My first blood. Any last words? No?" He looked at the Doctor. "Such a disappointment, this one. So useless. Days of old, Doctor, you had a companion who could absorb the Time Vortex. A companion who could capture the hearts of a Time Lord and make him weak. A companion who could turn herself so extraordinarily… inhuman." Almost all eyes went to Rose. "Do you want to know what she is? Because I know. I ran some tests on our little pet's DNA. It's quite interesting, I assure you. Of course, how could she still be human after what she did. After carrying the Time Vortex within her for so long, and carrying Gallifreyan children. She should have died."
Rose saw Jack's eyebrows rise when he heard the comment about carrying Gallifreyan children, and his eyes flicked to the Doctor in amusement.
"We can get back to her later." He turned to Martha. "Bow your head." She did so. "And so it falls to me, the Master of all, to establish from this day, a new order of Time Lords! From this day forward-" He stopped when Martha interrupted with a small chuckle. "What? What's so funny?"
"A gun?" Martha said, raising her head.
"What about it?"
"A gun in four parts?"
"Yes, and I destroyed it," the Master said in annoyance. Rose was entirely lost at this point.
"A gun in four parts, scattered across the world? I mean, come on. Did you really believe that?"
"What do you mean?"
"As if I would ask her to kill," the Doctor said.
"Oh, well, it doesn't matter. I've got her exactly where I want her." He pointed the Laser Screwdriver at Martha.
"But I knew what Professor Docherty would do. The Resistance knew about her son. I told her about the gun so she'd get me here. At the right time."
"Oh, but you're till gonna die!"
"Don't you wanna know what I was doing? Travelling the world?" she said, stoking his curiosity.
"Tell me," he sighed, sitting on the steps.
"I told a story, that's all. No weapons, just words. I did just what the Doctor said. I went across the continents all on my own. And everywhere I went, I found the people, and I told them my story. I told them about the Doctor. And I told them to pass it on, to spread the word so that everyone would know about the Doctor."
"Faith and hope? Is that all?"
"No, 'cause I gave them an instruction. Just as the Doctor said." She stood up, hope in her voice. "I told them that if everyone thinks of one word , at some specific time-"
"Nothing will happen!" the Master cried in frustration, jumping up, too. "Is that your weapon?! Prayer?!"
"Right across the world. One word, just one thought, at one moment… but with 15 satellites!"
"What?" the Master paused.
"The Archangel Network," Jack said.
"A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, with all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that word… is 'Doctor'."
Behind them, the clock struck zero, and the Doctor's cage began to glow. Rose jumped back in shock as the cage disintegrated and the Doctor himself began to glow.
"Stop it," the Master said, his face contouring into fear. "No, no, no, no, you don't!"
Smiles slowly lit up people's faces and their eyes closed.
"Doctor." The words whispered out of Jack's dirty lips.
"Doctor," Francine said.
Everyone around the room began to say his name. TV's over the walls showed billions of people over the world shouting his name.
"Stop this right now! Stop it!" the Master shouted.
No one listened. Jack said it again, Sarah Jane said it, Martha said it, even Lucy Saxton did. Rose watched as Sarah Jane took baby Jack from the unstable looking woman, and she clung to the banister. She could only imagine what it had been like being the Master's wife for so long.
She looked over at the Doctor, and saw him growing taller, getting younger. He was coming to life again, growing strong.
A grin spread across her face and she looked him dead in the eyes. "My Doctor," she said proudly.
The Doctor smiled, then looked from her to the Master, his face forming into a scowl. "I've had a whole year to tune myself into the psychic network and integrate with its matrices."
"I order you to stop!" the Master shouted at him.
"The one thing you can't do. Stop them thinking." By the time he'd finished speaking, the Doctor was back to his normal self. Martha and Jack let out a relieved laugh.
"Oh, yes!" Rose cried, jumping into the air. By now her guards had let go of her, and she rushed forward so she was out of their grasp. At the same time, she felt the barrier around her children's minds snap, and she joyfully reached out to them.
Still glowing, the Doctor levitated himself up. "Tell me the human race is degenerate now, when they can do this."
While the Master was distracted, Martha ran to her family, and embraced them. And Sarah Jane dashed down the stairs to Rose. Jack came over to them too, and grabbed one of the infant Time Lords from her, while Rose took the other.
"Why am I not surprised," he winked at her.
They were all distracted when the Master cried out. "No!" he shouted, firing the Laser Screwdriver at the Doctor, but he deflected it.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Then I'll kill them!" The Master aimed the Laser at Rose, the twins, Sarah Jane and Jack. "Your little family." Angered, the Doctor held out his arm, and the device flew from the Master's grip. "You can't do this!" he cried in a panic. "You can't do- It's not fair!"
"And you know what happens now," the Doctor said, moving closer to the Master. The Master backed down the stairs, attempting to escape with cries of protest. "You wouldn't listen."
"Because you know what I'm going to say."
"No!" the Master cried again, curling into a foetal position at the base of the stairs, against the wall.
The Doctor landed, the light around him fading. Then he walked to the Master, knelt down beside the whimpering man, and wrapped his arms around him.
"I forgive you," he said quietly. And for a moment, it seemed that everything might be fine, but…
"My children!" the Master said in a harsh whisper. Rose curled her son tighter to her, afraid he meant them, but outside, the Toclafane stirred in a flurry of metal.
Cries of, "protect the paradox," were heard all around them.
"Captain!" the Doctor shouted to Jack, jumping to his feet. "The paradox machine!"
"You men, with me," he ordered to the near by guards. He placed Freya into the crook of Rose's other arm, and led the men off with a firm, "you stay here," to her and Martha.
"No!" They were all startled by the cry from the Doctor. They turned to him, just in time to see him and the Master disappear in a flash.
"No!" Rose cried. "Doctor?!" She ran forward to where he had been only a second ago. "Where is he? What happened?"
"The Vortex Manipulator. The Master still had it," Martha said in horror. An alarm went off and she rushed to the control panel. "We've got all six billion spheres heading straight for us!"
Everyone made their way to a window and watched as the swarming cloud of black dots made their way towards the ship. Rose curled her children in closer, wishing there was a away she could protect them from this.
"Ahh!" she suddenly cried in pain. She doubled over, grabbing many peoples attention, and nearly dropping her babies. Sarah Jane and Martha rushed to her, taking a baby each. "Ah!" she cried again. The two women stood by her in concern as more people came to help her. By now, she was on her knees.
She felt like something was zapping through her body. The horrid feeling she'd had since she came to this world getting so bad she was about to vomit and break from the pressure at the same time. She whimpered as a fire burned through her, and it was all she could do not to scream in agony.
And then, suddenly, it was gone. She could breath. She could breath better than she ever had in her life. Looking up a moment, she could see through blurry eyes, the swarm of Toclafane vanish right in front of them.
Around her, everyone seemed to pause in relief. And then came a jolt that pulled almost everyone to the ground. Martha passed Jack to Rose, then stood and tried to make her way somewhere. The constant shaking toppled her over, though, and she was caught by the Doctor, who had just appeared.
He shot her a huge grin. "Everyone get down!" he shouted to them. "Time's reversing!" He dropped to the ground with Martha, holding her hand and still grinning like a madman. Suddenly the smile dropped and his face went pale. "Time's reversing!" he whispered in horror. "Rose!" He let go and scrabbled to his feet, shouting her name over again.
Rose's eyes shot up to his panicked face. He was fighting his way over to her. She attempted to get to her feet. It wasn't easy as she was trying to look out for Jack too, and a strange feeling was coming over her. She was getting increasingly dizzier, but still, she struggled to her feet and wobbled towards him.
Papers flew about them, and other objects slid about their feet, trying to trip them over. The constant shaking made their feet unstable and running towards each other seemed like a mission. The desperation grew on the Doctor's face as the smile grew on Rose's. They were so close to each other now. They were nearly there. The Doctor reached out to her, and she used her free hand to reach for him. Their fingers brushed…
And she was gone.
Don't worry, I promise I won't take so long with the next chapter. You can throw me in a black hole if I do.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS
July 12, 2011
The Far Left, starting with one of their converts, Ron Reagan, the Younger, has floated this insane idea that President Ronald Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer's Dementia as early as 1982 and continued to run the country for the ensuing six to seven years. Alzheimer's is that terrible disease which first robs one of short-term memory and then progresses onward to affect thinking and behavior.
Though there are some documented pieces of information showing that Reagan would forget where he laid his reading glasses or the color of the dress Nancy wore to dinner the night before (possibly the fifth ensemble change that day), there is no proof that he forgot the names of his staff or the members of his cabinet, much less the name of the attaché who carried the "football" containing the launch codes to our nuclear arsenal. In fact, his doctors say the first tell-tale sign of his Alzheimer's came some three-and-a-half years after he left office and two years later he was sure enough to inform the world.
Now, laying that argument aside, let's talk about President Obama's memory loss.
Obama inhabits a very special world. It's a world in which his entire slate of previous statements, policy preferences, and actions are apparently wiped clean every time he delivers a new speech or press statement. As FOX news political consultant Mary Katharine Ham likes to quip, what Obama said -- or did -- last week, last month, or last year is regarded as irrelevant, so long as he's making himself "crystal clear" today. Call it a transcendent belief in "the fierce urgency of now." I'll illustrate this phenomenon in a moment.
First, a few basic takeaways from Monday's lengthy presidential news conference, which made little actual news. The president said a debt deal is still a ways off, and stated that although he appreciates John Boehner's "good faith efforts" to help prevent a disastrous default, Republicans must "budge" on taxes for a workable compromise to materialize. He called on both sides to make concessions, arguing that it's time to "rip off the Bandaid" and "eat our peas."
He forswore short-term extensions, vowing to reject any 30-to-90 day debt ceiling patches. "This is the United States of America, and we don't manage our affairs in three-month increments," he asserted. (Except when we do, of course). He also flatly stated that an accord will be forged by the August 2nd deadline. "We're going to meet every day until we get this thing resolved," he said. Negotiations are ongoing.
Now, back to mystical Obamaland: The president talked quite a lot about the pressing and imperative need to strike a comprehensive debt deal this morning. Largely reprising his hectoring performance of June 29th, Obama called on both sides to sacrifice their respective sacred cows to facilitate an agreement post-haste.
Such a visionary pragmatist. Except...this latest incarnation of Barack Obama seems to have forgotten that a previous one was demanding a "clean" debt ceiling hike as recently as six weeks ago. Out: We must hike this debt ceiling without any grand deal immediately! In: We must reach a grand deal to hike the debt ceiling immediately! No matter; new day, new paradigm. Head spin.
To oppose a debt limit increase would be patently "irresponsible," today's Barack Obama intoned -- an apparent repudiation of 2006's Barack Obama, who did precisely that. "Revenue increases" are "fair" and essential, today's Barack Obama insisted -- contradicting 2009's Barack Obama, who noted that raising taxes is "the last thing you want to do" in a sluggish economy. Head spin.
The president also spoke passionately about the necessity of making tough choices to help control the swollen national debt. He assured us he's "willing to do hard things politically" to reach an agreement. What might those "hard things" be? He won't say.
It's as if today's Barack Obama has forgotten that when presented with an obvious opportunity to offer leadership on this front, February's Barack Obama introduced a budget that was universally panned for its inadequacy and utter refusal to propose any "hard things." And that April's Barack Obama discarded February's Barack Obama's budget in favor of a laughably non-specific "vision," which still hasn't been fleshed out. And that 2010's Barack Obama appointed a bipartisan debt commission to devise exactly the sort of comprehensive solution that today's Barack Obama demands -- but that February's Barack Obama completely disregarded its recommendations in crafting his (later abandoned) budget proposal.
Applying icing to his rhetorical cake, the president wrapped up his press conference by promising that his policies will help corral deficits and debt, eventually. Without missing a beat, he closed with an astonishing brainstorm: He encouraged Americans to envision a large-scale government program to spur job growth through major infrastructure projects as a solution to high unemployment.
Today's Barack Obama clearly didn't know or care that the large-scale government program to spur job growth through major infrastructure projects -- championed by 2009's Barack Obama, then mocked by June's Barack Obama -- didn't even come close to meeting the expectations and projections 2009's Barack Obama established. Head spin.
No worries, though. Today is a brand new day. Problem: Today's Barack Obama will soon become yesterday's Barack Obama -- whose stated policies and preferences are liable to slide into obsolescence as soon as tomorrow's Barack Obama opens his mouth. What comes next is anyone's guess.
If he were Ronald Reagan, the media and the left as a whole would say there is something wrong with his brain. Little Ronnie Reagan would say, "It's Alzheimer's."
But he's Barack Obama and the left says, "The President is merely being a pragmatist."
The truth is, he is living up to his old Alinskyite ways with its Hegelian Dialectical approach to reality: When something was good yesterday, but something else is better today, we'll give way to a synthesized approach and say we have a better approach today. And if we change that tomorrow then we were no more wrong yesterday than we will be tomorrow.
Confused? This cycle of presidential body-snatching may be a totally incoherent approach to governance, but it sure is exciting.
We believe that the Constitution of the United States speaks for itself. There is no need to rewrite, change or reinterpret it to suit the fancies of special interest groups or protected classes.

Berry Brow Information Day
Our Homes and Neighbourhoods teams joined forces to listen to the tenants of Berry Brow high rise flats when an information day was held to talk about future plans for the buildings.
Speaking to residents
More than half the residents living in Bishops Court and Holme Park Court, turned up for the event to speak to members of staff about any questions or express concerns.
Teams talked to tenants about the planned works for Berry Brow and the support they will receive during the moving out process.
New housing scheme
It comes as it was decided, after consulting with tenants in 2021, the two blocks will be demolished, and a new housing scheme will be built which requires all tenants to move out of their homes.
It is expected to take around two years for all tenants to be rehoused and the moving out will be carried out in phases, with five floors at a time.
Information packs were also handed out to tenants explaining the planned stages, as well as the process for both blocks. The packs also include information on what each tenant is entitled to.
Tenants were also able to speak with the employment support team who were on hand to give advice. A number of referrals to the team were made on the day, and they will support these tenants in to work or education.
Further events planned
This event was the first of many for tenants of Berry Brow, with further sessions being planned in the future for those who were not able to attend.

like Maine. Even with Spring not far off, it's cold and wet, with
patches of snow and promise of lots more in the weather forecast.
This morning my wife and I poured our cups of wake up coffee and
watched the resident flock of cranky turkeys successfully drive off
a small herd of deer from a shared food supply. Then, with my wife
waving goodbye, I headed out to the shop, slipped in a pile of fresh moose... signs and fell on my
butt. Not pretty. Not at all. But apparently, at least to my wife,
This was a tough review to write. Not
because of deficiencies in the gun, but rather because it is an
interesting rifle in a number of respects, which made it difficult
to assemble all of the information into a logical presentation. So
please bear with me.
The Remington Model 750, pictured
disappears into the Maine woods, as a good hunting rifle should. Satin
black metal finish, satin walnut stock... If I were writing a
catalogue narrative for a snooty firearms auction, I would describe
the Model 750 as having a look of understated elegance. Perhaps something to be expected from a
rifle model that has experienced over half a century of commercial
evolution under the watchful eye of Remington. This may also be why
a brand new Model 750 felt like a comfortable, well seasoned
firearm, the moment I took it out of the box.
In 1900, Remington purchased a patented
design held by John Browning and used it a the basis for their 1906
Model 8 introduction. The event marked Remington's first production
of a centerfire autoloading rifle, however, it was recoil operated
and its barrel was part of its considerable reciprocating mass. The
forerunner of the Model 750, Remington's first gas operated centerfire rifle, would not come along
until 1955 in the form of the
Model 740 Woodsmaster, with its then new Power-Matic
operating system*. This change from recoil to gas operation
was core to this design and allowed Remington's autoloader to handle more powerful cartridges
such as the: .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, .270 Winchester,
the .280 Remington, and .244 Remington. The Model 750, representing
the latest evolution of this product line was introduced in 2006.
Does the Model 750 have GPS and All Wheel
Satin Finish - Walnut
||Polished - Blue
||Autoloader - Gas
lbs 2 oz.

Drop at Heel
There are a number of optional chambers
available for the Model 750: 243 Winchester, 270 Winchester,
30-06 Springfield, 308 Winchester, and the 35 Whelen. The last three
are also available in carbine lengths with 18½" barrels.
The Model 750, when chambered for the .30-06 Springfield with a 22"
barrel has a 1:9⅛"
twist. In carbine length, 18½" barrel, the twist is 1:10", the same
as the .308 Winchester in either rifle or carbine versions.
The Model 750 is available with a synthetic stock in rifle and
carbine lengths, however, absent is the .35 Whelen chamber with this
stock option at the time of this writing.
As noted earlier, the appearance of the gun is contemporary, an
example of understated elegance. Clean lines, nicely figured walnut
stock, satin finish walnut and satin polished blued hardware. This
particular gun scaled 7 lbs 10 ounces, or within a wood density 2
ounce difference of specification.
The Model 750 feels balanced and steady in
standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone shooting
positions...which is more than I can say for myself. The wide
forearm is hand filling, which makes for a good grip. The high
comb, moderate cheekpiece provide good support at a height
appropriate for both metallic and scope sighting. The pull
length and SuperCell recoil pad are comfortable.
Most recent model
The Model 750 incorporates a number of
functional improvements over the
Model 7400, the Model 750's immediate predecessor. The gas port on
the Model 750 is drilled at a 45° angle, rather than the 90° angle
of earlier models and moved aft. The change in angle of intersection
minimized copper fouling at the port and the aft relocation placed
the port in a consistently higher pressure area of the gun's bore
for enhanced cycling reliability. These changes not only improved
overall performance of the series, they also permitted Remington to
expand the range of cartridges offered in carbine length guns.
Additional changes - The
barrel extension that serves as the bolt lock up surface at the end
of the barrel was changed from machined to cast for the sake of
improved geometry and absence of tool marks. The bolt face
received a nickel/Teflon coating to ease bolt closing and camming. Finally, the drop at the stock's comb
increased to allow more natural eye/sight alignment.
A closer look...
Magazine loading is handy, reloading and for
carrying different types of ammo in a coat pocket. Insertion and
removal is positive, release is accomplished by depressing the
tab just aft of the magazine well on the right side of the gun.
Releasing the Remington Model 750's bolt to battery position is
accomplished by moving a sliding button that is integral to the
left side of each magazine. The gun's cross shaft safety is
embedded in the aft portion of the trigger guard, indexed with a
red ring on the left side to indicate when the safety is in the
"fire" position. Again, a positive control. Opening the action
with the operating handle requires a modest amount of effort,
but slams shut with enough force to assure a round will be
stripped from the magazine and fully chambered.
That's a pretty unique forearm profile,
but it feels good when shooting and it keeps the muzzle under
steadying control. Excellent checkering pattern and nifty Remington
The top of the receiver is...anti
snaggable, and tapped for scope mounts; most popular brands and
types readily available. The metallic sight set is on the barrel,
rather than split receiver/barrel, which is a good arrangement for
accuracy in a gun of this type. For the scope shooting portion of
the review I picked up a set of low profile Warne steel Weaver style
bases to use with ring sets for both 1" and 30mm tube scopes.
The buttstock is neatly checkered in an
appropriate pattern, the grip is capped and, again, swivel studs and
a quality recoil pad.
I've been spending a good deal of time
lately with AR 15 and AR 10 type and derivative firearms. Hard to
believe the Remington could have a very similar gas system, but look
this good. Hmmm, with a thirty shot mag...
Cleaning and Maintenance...the fun
Take down for maintenance
is a straight forward proposition. After checking to ensure the
firearm is empty, the bore is cleaned muzzle to chamber. No, I don't
mean every time you check the gun for empty you must follow with
cleaning. I'm just saying, if you're going to clean your gun, first
make sure it is empty. Capice? The chamber is cleaned through the
ejection port. Periodically, the action tube and spring and area
under the forearm can be solvent sprayed and wiped down by removing
the forearm. The front forend screw is removed and the forearm is
pushed forward and off. The simplicity of the operating system can
be seen above where the tube from the gas block, integral to the
barrel, pumps gas pressure back to the breech bolt.
assembly cleaning is easy. With the gun empty and trigger mechanism
cocked, the two trigger mount pins are pushed out and a little
downward tug on the trigger guard removed the entire assembly.
This is the only area that could stand
a little improvement. I believe I have gotten so spoiled by
Remington's X-Mark PRO Adjustable
bolt gun triggers, I have the same expectation of quality and
refinement in every Remington firearm I shoot. The Model 750 trigger
isn't bad, it just isn't perfectly crisp, clean and adjustable as is
the case with Remington guns fitted with the X-Mark
How does it shoot? Commendably
The Remington Model 750 is probably the
softest shooting .30-06 Springfield I've had the pleasure of
shooting, pushing 150 - 220 grain
factory and handloaded ammunition. It
was very easy to get off a fast second shot while staying on target.
I'm sure the SuperCell recoil pad had a lot to do with it, but I
could also feel the dampening effect of the gas system. There was
virtually no muzzle climb and the gun stayed in hold after each
The open sights are OK for those folks
who like to shoot with metallic sights rather than a scope. The
adjustments are precise, the sight picture is crisp, but I'd like
something other than a white bead for a front sight in this type of
climate and terrain. A good HiViz sight set up would be nice in
brush country of the type we have here in Maine. I want to save the
live fire results for the next installment as this proved to be
interesting and little too much to squeeze into this space.

Michael J. Fox Foundation Honors Virginia Man-Yee Lee, PhD, with Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire/ -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) awarded the 2018 Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research to Virginia Man-Yee Lee, PhD, John H. Ware 3rd Endowed Professor in Alzheimer's Research in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The Prize recognizes researchers who make exceptional contributions to Parkinson's research and are committed to mentoring the next generation of Parkinson's scientists. Lee is the first female researcher to be selected for the Pritzker Prize.
"Dr. Lee's discoveries have marked milestones in our understanding of how Parkinson's originates and progresses and paved the way for new treatment strategies," said MJFF CEO Todd Sherer, PhD. "She is a leader in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and has helped mentor the next generation of neuroscientists. Her research could ultimately lead to breakthroughs for the millions who live with Parkinson's disease."
Sherer and Michael J. Fox presented the prize to Lee at a Foundation event in New York City on November 10, 2018.
Lee, a biochemist, began investigating misfolded proteins that accumulate in the brains of people with neurodegenerative disease in the 1990s. In 1997, she and her colleagues identified alpha-synuclein protein as the key component of Lewy bodies, the hallmark protein clumps found in people with Parkinson's disease. Her laboratory later provided the first proof that misfolded alpha-synuclein molecules act as seeds, triggering proteins to clump together. Later, using a new preclinical model of Parkinson's, she showed that these seeds travel from cell to cell propagating pathological alpha-synuclein, leading to disease progression, loss of dopamine and movement difficulties. This finding added weight to a leading hypothesis that misfolded proteins are transmitted through the nervous system, contributing to Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Lee continues to study subtypes of alpha-synuclein; this research is aimed at explaining the diversity of clinical symptoms of Parkinson's and the relationship of Parkinson's to diseases such as multiple system atrophy and Alzheimer's. She also is a partner in MJFF's flagship Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative, helping to develop and test ways to measure biomarkers in people with Parkinson's.
The Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research, awarded annually by MJFF since 2011, was established by Karen Pritzker, daughter of Robert A. Pritzker, and her late husband, investor Michael Vlock. Their gift provides a $100,000 research grant to the Pritzker Prize winner each year, and Pritzker and Vlock have been generous donors to MJFF.
"I'm very proud to be the recipient of the 2018 Robert A. Pritzker Prize. And even prouder to be the first female to receive this honor," says Lee. "Some of the most distinguished people in Parkinson's research have received this prize, so I am honored to be among them." Lee says the grant will allow her "to think out of the box, and do some creative science. Hopefully that will make a difference for Parkinson's disease patients."
About the Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research
The Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research is named in honor of the late Robert A. Pritzker, a renowned industrialist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Pritzker was founder of The Marmon Group and president of Colson Associates, Inc., holding companies for a variety of manufacturing and medical businesses. Additionally, he was an early promoter of the field of medical engineering at his alma mater, the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, where he also played a key role in expanding the biomedical research community through his support of The Pritzker Institute for Biomedical Science and Engineering at IIT.
The MJFF Scientific Advisory Board serves as the jury panel. Selection criteria include the nominee's complete body of work in the PD field with an emphasis on its impact on accelerating drug development; field-wide impact of the nominee's work; dedication to patient-relevant science; and influence on and encouragement of the next generation of PD investigators.
The award itself is designed by renowned artist and Parkinson's patient Tom Shannon.

Document Type : Research Paper
Variable Rate Application (VRA) based on Site Specific Crop Management (SSCM) is an effective approach for optimizing the application of agricultural inputs and preventing the undesirable environmental impacts. Design, construction and evaluation of a Map-Based VRA System was the main objective followed in this research. For variable rate application based on the generated map, a Direct Injection (DI) system was designed and constructed. This system was based on GPS data for positioning of sprayer, comparing GPS data with management map data, measurement of velocity and finally injection of the active ingredient into a carrier fluid using solenoid injectors proportionate to any management zone on the digital management map. The most important factor for evaluation of the developed DI system was system response (delay) time. Electrical conductivity was employed to assess the delay time. Independent variables including duty cycle, travel speed, carrier pressure, active ingredient pressure, active ingredient rate, as based on digital management map, and injection position were varied during the tests. Each test was implemented in three replications. Analysis of Variance and Duncans multiple range test were utilized to analyze the data. A factorial design of a completely randomized block was used for an evaluation of the interactions of various factors. The results revealed that response time depended significantly on carrier fluid pressure and injection position of the active ingredient.

|4. Dies Irae|

Debut 5 song EP from JERICHO FUZZ.
The unique sound of Jericho Fuzz hearkens back to the days when no subcategories were needed in rock. One might hear echoes of Queen, when other would be reminded of The Doors (on heavy psychedelics) or the doom and gloom of Black Sabbath. You should understand why categorization seems so trivial with this band – Jericho Fuzz have a distinct identity of their own. They might be driven by the same demons that the Rolling Stones conjured up in Altamont in 1969, but this is definitely music for the 2000’s. Highly recommended listening for fans of Classic Rock!

VIP football travellers could be exempt from quarantine rules on arrival in the UK under plans to allow them to attend the final matches of Euro 2020, according to a report.
The Times said the Government was approaching a compromise deal that would require Uefa and Fifa officials, politicians, sponsors and broadcasters to agree to only attend football matches – effectively placing them in 'bubbles'.
Many VIPs are expected to fly in and out of the country on the same day, or stay overnight in hotels block-booked for the tournament, the paper reported.
The Government announced on Tuesday that more than 60,000 football fans will be allowed to attend the semi-finals and final at Wembley if they have a negative Covid-19 test or prove they are double vaccinated.
It's part of the Event Research Programme (ERP) - where MPs have called to see the results of the pilots so far following the delay of stage four due to rising cases of the Delta variant.
Uefa is thought to be pushing for 2,500 VIPs to attend the competition’s final on July 11 without being subjected to quarantine requirements that apply to other international travellers.
The Government and Uefa have been engaged in talks over travel restrictions, which a UK source said were “positive” and that “final details are being worked through”, although ministers had indicated that some restrictions would remain in place.
Earlier reports had suggested the final could be moved to Budapest if a deal could not be reached, and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi also said that Rome could provide an alternative venue.
But in a statement, Uefa said: “Uefa, the English FA and the English authorities are working closely together successfully to stage the semi-finals and final of Euro 2020 in Wembley and there are no plans to change the venue for those games.”
Meanwhile, British travellers continue to face restrictions over taking holidays abroad.
Attendance capacity for the tournament’s closing matches at the stadium has been increased to 75 per cent, which could see some of the largest crowds for a sporting event in the UK since the start of the pandemic.
All ticket holders will be required to have a negative coronavirus test or provide proof of two doses of a vaccine 14 days before a game.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said: “As we continue to make progress on our road map out of lockdown, keeping the public safe remains our top priority.
“We have worked extremely closely with Uefa and the FA to ensure rigorous and tight public health measures are in place whilst allowing more fans to see the action live.
“The finals promise to be an unforgettable moment in our national recovery from the pandemic.”
Mark Bullingham, FA chief executive, said: “We hope that this programme lays the foundation for the safe return of fans in stadiums all across the country next season.”


We know that the coronavirus outbreak poses health risks for everyone, officials have made clear that the elderly are particularly vulnerable. Nursing homes and senior communities have been hit the hardest by covid-19 pandemic. Now, nursing homes and other elderly care facilities are putting strict restrictions in place to limit if not eliminate residents’ risk of exposure to the virus. Officials have also encouraged to limit social contacts for elderly staying at home.
There are certain precautionary measures that are taken for the well-being of our senior citizens. They are likely to put strain on families and friends who not only are eager to stay in contact with their loved ones, but are also constantly worried about their health.
If an elderly loved one does find themselves in a quarantine situation, or under self-isolation, it’s important to maintain contact with them and clearly explain to them what’s happening and why. When an elderly person sees that nobody comes to visit them anymore, they might say, ‘they forgot me and I just don’t exist.’ But if they could be helped to see that it’s a temporary condition and it is done because they are cared for, because they are very important and it is solely to protect them.
There are ways to stay in touch with elderly loved ones and care for them without putting their lives in harm’s way.
While experts acknowledge that older people are more susceptible to falling severely ill or even dying from COVID-19, they stress that social interaction is crucial to their mental and physical health.
Social interactions are very important and especially when you are an elderly person living alone or away from your family in a healthcare facility. These are tough times no doubt. When paying a visit to your elderly loved ones can cost them dearly it is better to go back to the old-fashioned ways of communication. It essentially means making phone calls more frequently. This is the age of technology and thanks to the technological advances of 21st century we can now not only talk to a person who is miles away from us but we can see them as if they were sitting right in front of us. It doesn’t have to be a simple video call. You can add your other family members to the call and simply make it a family reunion videoconference. There are even captioned video calls available for those have hearing impairments. Just because you can’t visit your loved ones it shouldn’t mean that you lose contact with them altogether. They now need you more than ever. Experts say that you should stay in touch with them to keep them from being depressed. Phone calls, video calls and videoconference calls solve the problem of keeping in touch with them at all times.
How can you take care of them without physically visiting them? There are a lot of online services these days that take care of this issue in a very elegant way and without putting their lives at risk. There are delivery services likes flowers and groceries and not mention the good old mail services. A hand written note to your loved ones goes a long way. Hand written notes show that you really care for them and they are always in your thoughts. One of the best things about mail is that they can read it over and over again. It will remind them that there are people who care a lot about them. These small things can keep our elderly loved ones happy and far away from depression even in these testing times.
Not just the adults should avoid visiting their elderly loved ones but also the children. Elderly have weakened immune systems, and children are usually full of germs as they like to play outside. They also don’t take as much as care as an adult does. So, children should also avoid visiting their older relatives.
We, at Kandakacare are fully aware of the situation. We know that you love your family. We know you love your elderly very much. That’s why we offer a number of servicer where you can take care of them without physically visiting them and let them know that they are not forgotten.

The dorm rooms and beds themselves were fine. The 20 person dorm is really split into two rooms by the bathroom. There really is NOT a kitchen, only a fridge. And the BBQ is temperamental, and when asking for help we were given suspicious looks by the owner. There were no keys given and the dorms were always open to whomever wanted to wander in, so take your valuables with you wherever you go. The plus side was it was in a quiet area overlooking the port and the swimming pool.
Owner was very friendly and it's easy to meet people. No lockers are available and no hostel keys are needed so security isn't high (though the location isn't dangerous). Only one combined toilet/shower for all 20 beds! Kitchen facilities are really minimal. I enjoyed my stay here though! The biggest thing for me was that it's pretty far out- an hour walk from old town, 25-30 from the bus station. There's a pool, but I didn't use it as Dubrovnik is on the coast so you can just go there instead.
This is a nice hostel (with a pool!), the atmosphere is good, but there are no lockers and no working kitchen... Still enjoyed the stay though.
Had a lovely stay at Villa Valjalo. Djuro is a great host, very polite and helpful. Pool is lovely. Apartment had everything we needed and lovely views. It's a bit of a trek into Dubrovnik old town, the bus stop is between a 5 and 10 minute walk away, the bus is incredibly busy and takes around 15 minutes to get there which when it's 30 degrees is not fun but it was ok.Lapad itself has plenty of bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Would recommend staying here, great value for money.

Wifi signal was very poor. Security was poor.
The hostel is about a 30-40 minute walk to the old city, but it is really near a beach and it is nice to be in a different part of Dubrovnik that you might not see if you stay in the center. The dorm is seperated into two rooms with a kitchenette for everyone to use in one part. It is peaceful, not noisy and has a pool. It is a bit hard to have just one bathroom, but it's never too busy. Definitely recommended based on price and calm ambiance.
The hostels itself is really good! - the rooms are exactly what you need them to be! There's a good eating area outside to meet other travellers (only downside is you had to turn the lights off at 11) My only negative point would be there's ONE bathroom between the 20 guests staying! Which isn't the biggest or the cleanest of bathrooms! Saying that I'd definitely stay here again! The fiends we made in the 4 days was worth the bathroom issue! Overall good hostel
The room was good with a queen bed, the view was amazing from the balcony. It is located near the port which is a short bus trip to the old town which costs 30kuna (4euro) for a day pass. the host was very nice helped us with directions and brought us a juice every morning.

Stayed here for two nights and had an amazing time (20 person dorm). The dorm is actually split into two rooms. One sleeps 6 and the other 14. No kitchen, but there is a barbecue near the pool. Tons of restaurants and grocery stores near by. Short bus ride (No. 6) into Old Town or walk it (30 min). The wifi doesn't work very well in the dorms. The directions to this place seemed strange, but if you follow them you should find the place quite easily. Table and chairs outside the dorm too.
We had a good stay, and while it is not the most central hostel, it is in a nice quiet area, walking distance to beaches, restaurants and buses to central Dubrovnik. I didn't like how there were no keys to the rooms, but we left our valuables with the staff to keep safe. All in all it is a good affordable hostel with minimal facilities, but in Dubrovnik you only need the hostel for sleeping as you should be swimming and exploring throughout the day.

On March 8, 2017, I witnessed one hundred or so men walking along the busy roads of Lalitpur, holding placards that voiced their solidarity against the violence faced by girls and women. The march was not anything special because a march walked by a few men cannot change the way of the world, but it surely can bring about a revolution: a spark to change the way of the world.
Initially, I was not very keen to participate in the march, as I was under the impression that such social evils existed no more in our modern society; I truly believed that walking the march meant that violence against women still pervades our society. However, while walking, I met a man who claimed to be a retired school principal. He explained to me the injustice faced by women in our country: the brutality of men against women in remote villages as well as urban cities itself. I came to learn that mothers are mercilessly beaten by drunken fathers while daughters are regarded as banes of the family.
“Violence is an infection, a disease that has been permeating our kind since the very first day of our existence,” He explained.
“The fight against violence against women has been going on for decades, but we have not smelled victory till date. Why is it so?”
I had no answer for him.
“It is because of the ignorance of good men that bad men still violate the laws of nature. Being ignorant about such a pivotal subject has led us to this social evil. Thus, it is our duty to spread awareness to every part of our country, to educate people about the injustice faced by women and act against those who violate women's rights. I hope that you are keeping up with me young man!”
Astonished at what he said, I realized the importance of the march. I also realised that I was also a part of one of the greatest social evils of the 21st century, for I was ignorant. However, today, after giving much thought to the subject, I believe that it is every man’s duty to help not only their daughters or wives or mothers, but every woman in distress.
It is imperative for boys and men to realize the role they play in eradicating this evil. We as boys and men must not look over such a critical subject, thus I sincerely ask men and women alike to act against this social evil that permeates our society, by only realizing the gravity of the situation, thereby speaking up for those in distress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of frequently asked questions, including themes:
- Bridge design
- Re-naming the bridge
- Benefiting the local community
- Environmental work
- How the project fits with the City's official plan
- Integrated Project Delivery model
Why is a bridge needed?
The bridge is going to have many benefits for the community by:
- providing additional crossing capacity across the Cataraqui River
- improve emergency services
- increasing active transportation
- creating a connection with the east and west approaches to the city
- building new transit, cycling and walking pathways
What is the cost of the project and who is paying for it?
The project value is $180 million (2019 dollars) for the new two-lane crossing with an accessible, multi-use trail for active transportation. Due to the significant capital costs of the project, provincial and federal government grant funding was needed to move the project forward. As of Feb. 21, 2018, all three levels of government funding have been secured with the city, the province and the federal governments contributing $60 million each.
Will the construction of the bridge increase my taxes?
No. The City, together with the provincial and federal governments, are paying equal one-third cost-shares to design and build the bridge. No dedicated tax increase is required.
Why is the City investing in transportation infrastructure such as the new bridge?
Smart investments in the City's transportation infrastructure continue to be a necessity to ensure Kingston has a transportation system that meets both its current and future needs. The City's transportation system has to be safe, efficient, and adaptable. Smart investments consider the effective management of existing assets and the ability to provide new and/or expanded transportation infrastructure to meet new and changing needs. Investments in infrastructure continue to be a key priority for the City, which recognizes that strong and robust infrastructure ensures a high quality-of-life for Kingstonians. It also provides the City with the foundation to support a sustainable community.
How will the City pay for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the bridge?
Annual operations and on-going costs for maintenance of the bridge have been factored into the existing annual operating budget and the asset management capital envelope for all the City's transportation infrastructure.
How was the bridge location chosen?
The environmental assessment studied a range of factors affecting location including local neighbourhoods, marine life, plants and wildlife, shorelines, noise, watercraft navigation, intersection with other transportation routes and more. The Environmental Assessment found the best location for the bridge is a link between Gore Road and John Counter Boulevard.
When will the project schedule be available to the public?
The high level schedule is anticipated as design to commence in fall 2018, construction to start in summer 2019 and total completion in 2023. As construction planning and on-the-ground implementation occurs, some changes to the schedule can be expected. Crews may be slightly ahead of schedule in some areas, and slightly behind schedule in other areas, but are striving toward the project being on-time and on-budget. Our community liaison staff will keep stakeholders and the public well informed of dates for design and construction and will provide the on-the-ground dates and details as work progresses
What are the phases of the project and where is it at now?
There are four phases of the city's Action Plan for the project:
- Phase One - 2009 to 2013 - Environmental Assessment - Completed
- Phases Two and Three - January 2016 to June 2017 - Preliminary Design and Business Case Completed
- Phase Four - February 2018 to ongoing - Detailed Design and Construction - Underway (2018 – 2022*)
When will construction start?
Construction on the bridge will begin in the summer of 2019. Early works will start in fall 2018 and include to advance construction activities including – geotechnical and environmental studies, utilities relocation, and general site preparation.
When Will I Start to Receive Construction Information?
Over the course of the next year, detailed design and construction information will be sent out to stakeholders and the public on how the bridge will be built, the project's stages, the anticipated timing, what to expect, and how to stay connected with the project.
How will the City minimize the temporary inconvenience of construction?
As part of the technical planning, the city is working to address the many aspects of the design, construction and traffic management, environmental management and other key project elements to minimize the impacts, particularly to local area stakeholders. The city will also be working closely with the project team to refine designs, construction staging and timing and seek to maximize opportunities to reduce the temporary inconvenience of construction.
Is the bridge design finalized?
No. The city has completed the preliminary design of the project. This means the project team (the contactor) takes the preliminary design and performs the technical validation to evolve the design into the next phase called detailed design. The detailed design phase is anticipated to be completed late 2019.
Re-naming the bridge
Why is the City re-naming the bridge and how do we become involved?
The new bridge is a historic and city-shaping transportation infrastructure asset and there's no better way to directly involve Kingstonians in ownership of this new asset than having the community name our bridge. The identity of the bridge is symbolic to Kingston that is so rich in its history, its community vibrancy and its innovation to become the most sustainable community in Canada. This is a great legacy opportunity that everyone can participate in.
The city anticipates beginning the bridge re-naming process in 2019 and will notify how to become involved.
What are the consultation opportunities of the project right now?
The city's priorities for continued stakeholder and public engagement remains paramount to the success of the project. The city is planning meaningful communication and engagement programs as part of detailed design and construction, such as minimizing construction-related impacts, environmental protection and area beautification, detailed design and aesthetics.
When will stakeholders and the public be engaged?
The city is currently informing and engaging stakeholders and the public, which includes providing social media updates, attending speaking engagements, providing project updates on the city's project webpage and more. For more information about engagement on this project go to our website and look under 'Engagement'.
Where can we submit our comments?
Public comments about the project are always welcome regardless of which stage the project is in. Please contact us at email@example.com
When will we be consulted on the Parks Canada permit process to ensure that environmental protection measures will be in place?
The city is working closely with federal departments and agencies to ensure all the necessary Detailed Impact Assessment (DIA) and environmental compliance is satisfied.
Once federal departments and agencies have reviewed and approved our required technical compliance DIA document, the document will be posted for public comment. The City will notify stakeholders and the public about these opportunities for consultations. Until the City has satisfied the federal departments and agency requirements of the DIA, the City's technical teams will continue to do their investigations, analysis and make recommendations to satisfy permitting requirements.
Will the public be consulted on the environmental work between the City and federal departments?
Yes, once the DIA is posted on a public-facing website. One of the key aims of the DIA is to determine the impacts of construction and to propose mitigation measures to minimize impacts to the environment. The involvement of the project team is needed before the DIA process can be finalized since the construction methodology hasn't been fully explored at this time.
The DIA document, it will be posted to the City website for public review and comment. Stakeholders and the public will then have the opportunity to review the DIA report's content and provide meaningful input.
Benefiting local community
Will there be local workers on this project and will local businesses benefit from the project?
Yes. The city encourages local workers to be employed on all its infrastructure projects including the Third Crossing. The project team is encouraging preference for he use of goods and services of local businesses as part of its economic development and sustainability initiatives.
What are the benefit for Kingston Transit's service once the bridge is operational?
Connecting the city, increased transit reliability and more efficient service are key benefits of the new bridge once operational. The Third Crossing creates opportunities to provide transit service from east-to-west and west-to-east that truly connects Kingston. Improvements will include:
- a new express route to reduce time to popular spots like the King's Crossing outlet mall, RIOCAN Centre, and Cataraqui Centre (avoiding the need to travel across the La Salle Causeway and through downtown);
- expansion of existing transit routes that will provide more travel options for employees commuting to a growing St. Lawrence Business Park; and
- new connections to existing transit routes on Montreal Street and Highway 15 making it easier to travel along these developing corridors.
How will the new bridge benefit the provision of emergency services?
Kingston General Hospital (KGH) is the leading hospital in Southeastern Ontario for acute and specialty care. KGH is also the lead trauma hospital for the region with the responsibility of providing high-level care including initial assessment and treatment on a 24-hour basis. For residents located in Kingston East, the La Salle Causeway is the primary route for access to the hospital. Traffic congestion and/or closures on the La Salle Causeway can impact emergency response times. The new bridge will provide reduced congestion on the La Salle Causeway, increasing efficiency on this primary route. It will also provide an alternate route along the crossing for access to emergency services and the potential to decrease response times for paramedic services.
A Master Fire Plan was also developed for the City and provided specific recommendations in support of the Third Crossing. Kingston Fire & Rescue Services identified the La Salle Causeway as a limitation to emergency response agencies for gaining access to resources located in the core area of the city when required to support the east side of the city in a timely way. Currently, there are two fire stations on the east side of the Cataraqui River (Joyceville Road and Gore Road) staffed with volunteer firefighters. The Third Crossing is an opportunity to further evaluate and optimize the location and requirement for fire stations within the city and the anticipated need and timing for changes to staffing levels, including the use of volunteer and career staff.
How will the Kingston cycling network and users benefit from the bridge?
A key thing heard from the public in previous consultation is the need to increase opportunities for active transportation across the Cataraqui River. The Third Crossing is another essential multi-modal facility for creating more opportunities for active travel and accessibility across the river with support for new connections on the west and east shore for walking and cycling.
Cyclists will benefit from the provision of safe and attractive infrastructure to use to cross the Cataraqui River. Multi-use trail linkages will improve the active transportation network north and south of the bridge and also benefit our pedestrian and cycling network.
How will the new bridge consider local induced demand?
Local induced demand refers to the re-routing of travellers already making trips within the City's transportation network. New transportation infrastructure, such as the Third Crossing, does not cause travellers to switch from walking, cycling or taking the bus to instead use their cars. Nor does the Third Crossing create or promote more trips to be made within the transportation network. Instead, local induced demand is a result of travellers choosing to change their route. The Third Crossing Business Plan analysis has shown, the Third Crossing would be a well-used transportation link attracting travellers who would otherwise use either Highway 401 or the La Salle Causeway for travel across the Cataraqui River.
Why is the new bridge important to the City's active transportation network?
The Third Crossing is part of this strategic vision and another important link within the overall transportation network that serves the current and future needs of the city. The new bridge will also maximize the value of infrastructure investments already made and future investments in the City's long-term plan. The new bridge is also based on the need for additional transportation capacity to meet travel demand across the Cataraqui River, including the sizable catchment area for pedestrians and cyclists, as the city continues to grow and encourage active transportation over the next 20 years.
What are the Environmental Assessment requirements and what work remains to satisfy the requirements?
The provincial Environmental Assessment regulatory requirements have been satisfied (completed and approved by the Ministry of Environment in 2013). This was included in Phase One of the City's Third Crossing Action Plan. Public consultation was a significant part of all three stages of the project and will continue throughout Phase Four (design and construction).
To meet federal requirements, the City is in a collaborative process to complete a Detailed Impact Assessment (DIA), which is a regulatory requirement selected by Parks Canada for the project. The DIA includes the project team drafting a comprehensive report that demonstrates the environmental considerations, impacts and proposed mitigation strategies for the project.
Parks Canada must approve DIA before it goes public
Once the draft DIA is completed, Parks Canada will review the report and provide comment and/or direction for the report to meet the satisfaction of Parks Canada. Once the regulatory report content and process is satisfied, Parks Canada will permit the City to post the draft DIA report for stakeholder and public comment.
The draft report is required by Parks Canada to be posted for 30 days for public comment. Staff will collaborate with Parks Canada in the development and release of the draft DIA report ensuring stakeholders and the public have an opportunity to provide input and see how it was addressed.
City Official Plan
Is the new bridge recognized in the City's Official Plan?
Yes. The Official Plan (OP), shaped by extensive input from the community, lays out a policy statement for transportation infrastructure "To increase sustainable means of travel and reduce reliance on the automobile, the City will promote a compact form of development within the urban boundary having a mix of uses that reduce the need for travel, and will also promote increased densities that are supportive of public transit alternatives. Increasing opportunities for active transportation and improving the maintenance of pedestrian and cycling routes will increase usage, safety and access for all." The OP specifically identifies the Third Crossing as the construction of a two-lane bridge extending from John Counter Boulevard to Gore Road as a major infrastructure project to support the City's overall active transportation network.
Integrated Project Deliver Model
What is an IPD model the why is the City is using it for this project?
An IPD model has proven to be effective in achieving mutual goals between a consultant and the contractor team and a client team for infrastructure projects, such as sharing the responsibility and the savings benefits through a more robust collaborative approach. The project team sets goals together at the project's outset; they share information and accept their respective responsibilities as equals. They share the financial risk and reward as an integrated team all working together in one ‘big room' concept to keep costs low and deliver best-in-class projects on-time. Based on the city's review of procurement alternatives and benefits during the business case phase, the innovation of an IPD model stood above other options because it allows for the technical validation, detailed and final design, and construction to be seamlessly wrapped into one project model using a less adversarial contract and delivery approach. This proven-effective collaborative IPD model allowed other government projects to provide its communities with more efficient infrastructure delivery overall.
The City is the first in Canada to use an Integrated Project Delivery model for building a bridge. The city will also become one of the Canadian front-runners adopting the successful IPD model based on proven success on other infrastructure projects in North America.

From the publisher
Known for her far-reaching examinations of psychoanalysis, literature, and politics, Jacqueline Rose has in recent years turned her attention to the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most enduring and apparently intractable conflicts of our time. In "Proust among the Nations", she takes the development of her thought on this crisis a stage further, revealing it as a distinctly Western problem. In a radical rereading of the Dreyfus affair through the lens of Marcel Proust in dialogue with Freud, Rose offers a fresh and nuanced account of the rise of Jewish nationalism and the subsequent creation of Israel. Following Proust's heirs, Beckett and Genet, and a host of Middle Eastern writers, artists, and filmmakers, Rose traces the shifting dynamic of memory and identity across the crucial and ongoing cultural links between Europe and Palestine. A powerful and elegant analysis of the responsibility of writing, Proust among the Nations makes the case for literature as a unique resource for understanding political struggle and gives us new ways to think creatively about the violence in the Middle East.
