Hendersonville, North Carolina, has long been a traveller’s escape. Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, minutes from busier places, like Asheville to the north and Greenville to the south, Hendersonville maintains the quintessential charm one expects of a small town. Surrounding natural wonders beckon visitors outdoors, while abundant apple orchards encourage agritourism and the growing wine region provides a distinct drinking experience. Visitors love the beauty of this vibrant town, which stands out with outdoor adventure, spend holidays on this stunning place and let the others know about your experience. Buy Tiktok followers and reach a bigger audience.
Hendersonville’s elevation is high enough to allow for less-humid summers and several winter snowfalls, but moderate enough that the town experiences all four seasons, each with its own charm. Fall is particularly pleasant as the air becomes crisp and cool and the leaves put on a show with their colors. The famed Blue Ridge Parkway weaves within a few miles of Hendersonville. Follow the linear National Park and pull off at overlooks that provide long-range mountain views.
One of the most accessible overlooks in Western North Carolina lies just 15 minutes from downtown Hendersonville. At 3,100 feet in elevation, Jump Off Rock peers into four states. Three easy to moderate hiking trails circle around the rock. Time your visit to sunset and watch the sun sink behind mountain peaks.
Throughout the fall, apple orchards buzz with activity. Henderson County leads North Carolina in apple production and consistently ranks within the top producers nationally.
Twenty-one orchards, markets and roadside stands along the Crest of the Blue Ridge Orchard Trail invite visitors to experience harvest season. U-pick orchards encourage families to pick their own fruit straight from the trees. Many farms grow more than 20 varieties of apples, which gradually ripen at different times and stretch the season from late August into November. Additional farm attractions include hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and barnyard animals. Kids of all ages delight in shooting an apple cannon.
On-site bakeries take fresh apples and turn them into tasty confections. Snag an apple-cider doughnut covered in cinnamon-sugar and enjoy it in a rocking chair with a cup of warm cider and a view of the mountains. Jeter Mountain Farm also serves hard cider, made with local apples, in its mountaintop tasting room.
In the summer of 2019, Hendersonville received federal designation as Crest of the Blue Ridge American Viticultural Area (AVA). The recognition means the area’s climate, soil composition and elevation are well suited for growing grapes. Six wineries now operate in the region.
Most of the wineries are boutique properties that specialize in a personal tasting experience. Vineyards grow European grape varietals, as well as French-American hybrids, and use them to craft fine, dry wines.
For a winery with deep roots in the region, head to Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards where the Ward family grows 14 varieties of French vinifera grapes on property that’s been in the family for generations. Nearby Burntshirt Vineyards gives a nod to the area’s apple heritage with its pleasantly sweet apple wine. The winery’s cottage-style vacation rental allows guests to stay steps from the vines.
High atop its namesake mountain, Point Lookout Vineyards pours wine and mead in a 4,000-square-foot open-air pavilion with panoramic views. Newcomer Stone Ashe Vineyard opened this summer, bringing a touch of Bordeaux to the Blue Ridge. The vines — chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot and riesling — were cloned from legacy vines in France.
Each of the wineries offers outdoor seating and plenty of space for social distancing.
While Hendersonville feels world’s away, the town is an easy drive via nearby interstates, and the Asheville Airport is 20 minutes away. Lodging options vary from convenient hotels to friendly bed-and-breakfast inns and secluded cabins, cottages and vacation rental homes.

Thank you for your patience...
The essence of Mallorca at its most sophisticated. An eighteenth-century Jesuit monastery converted into a luxury hotel of contemporary design. In a rural setting at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana, World Heritage Site, and near to the best beaches on the island. Excellent cuisine in which the organic products grown on the property are the highlight. Luxury spa with natural products of the island. Set in beautiful landscaped gardens, close to the charming village of Pollensa on the North of Mallorca. A wonderful setting for a quintessentially Mallorcan retreat.
Here “local” is the key word. Whether it is a matter of the staff, the food or even the artisans and artists on display, this property has made itself the champion of local community life.
In the kitchens, the vegetables are local and organic produced in the garden when possible . Everything comes from the neighbouring island farms, and the fish is sourced from fishermen who have made sustainable fishing a principle. And everything is governed by a concern for biodiversity: the property is a member of an association that helps to protect local varieties of fruit, vegetables and plants. All these commitments account joining the Slow Food movement early on in order to raise awareness among guests of eco-gastronomy and conscious consumerism and inspire a new philosophy of culinary pleasure.

Boston researchers watching families at fast food restaurants found that parents often paid more attention to their smartphones than to their kids.
And if you think kids didn't notice, think again.
The youngsters were more likely to test the limits when mom & dad were absorbed by the phone.
Some even tried to get their parents attention, to no avail.
Experts suggest parents 'unplug' from technology when they're with their children.
"Children really need that interaction and the best thing for developing minds is to build that relationship where the parent is looking at the child, where the child is looking at the parent, they're engaging in conversation," says Dr. Emily Schulte, a pediatrician at the Cleveland Clinic.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is now working on guidelines for smartphone use around kids, just as it has advice on TV viewing.

In golf’s golden age, the Palmer-Nicklaus competition was as fierce as any the sport has ever seen. Palmer, the older player, was adored by fans, while Nicklaus was the more talented young upstart.
The competition continues, apparently to this day. I spotted this new beverage on the supermarket shelves the other day.
Think someone’s trying to get a piece of the Arnold Palmer half-and-half pie?

Attendees of business events held within hotels can expect different formats around dining and social functions as gatherings are once again allowed.
Taking into consideration physical distancing needs and heightened hygiene and safety measures, buffet lines will have to give way to pre-packed food boxes or served set meals, hoteliers told TTGmice.
Tim Alpe, Ovolo Groupâ€™s chief operating officer, Hong Kong and Indonesia, noted that buffet dinners would likely be less popular among event planners, and set menus would be offered instead.
“We will also use larger event spaces for smaller events to ensure the appropriate distance between tables,” Alpe added.
Frequency and size of social functions during events, such as coffee breaks, will have to be kept to a minimum.
Javier Pardo, vice president of operations for Avani Hotels & Resorts, said coffee breaks at his properties in the near-term would probably be â€śshielded or served from behind a Plexiglass screen by a certified kitchen team to reduce contaminationâ€ť.
There will be markings on the floor to help delegates adhere to social distancing.
Over at Accor, Kerry Healy, vice president sales Asia-Pacific, predicts â€śstaggered break times for smaller groups or more use of outdoor space to provide the opportunity for fresh airâ€ť.
â€śWe also think that cocktail events will see stricter handling of food items with less sharing plates and more individually-served items. There will also be greater use of local ingredients and freshly-sourced produce as people are looking to support their domestic markets even more,â€ť she added.
The new requirements around dining formats will necessitate greater empathy and flexibility from venues, opined Alpe, who said his properties may lower or even get rid of minimum spending for smaller events, as a way to encourage gatherings with fewer people.
Charles Yap, Onyx Hospitality Groupâ€™s vice president, marketing communications, said a collaborative approach between hotel representatives and meeting planners would be taken for discussions on preferred dining formats as well as safety and hygiene enhancements, “such as capacity guidance, seating layouts and the deployment of protective shields on food presentation area”.
Even though hoteliers expect to see smaller meetings, reduced banqueting and conferencing demand in the coming months, they are confident that the sector will eventually rebound once travel restrictions are lifted.
Healy said: â€śWe are confident that when itâ€™s safe to do so, people will return to meetings, events and conferences because these are essential to teambuilding, to celebrating, and to creating a corporate culture.â€ť
“It is in our human nature to meet, interact and reunite,” remarked Yap, adding that he is anticipating increased demand for hybrid events which combine physical meetings and video conferencing.
“Venues with superior technology and connectivity will be more sought after than older establishments (which have not renovated),â€ť Yap noted.
For this reason, Onyx is making use of this downtime to renovate all the meeting and event venues at Amari Watergate Bangkok, as part of a larger refurbishment programme that includes guestrooms and the water, plumbing, air-conditioning and boiler systems for the entire building.

Starting today, the Samsung Gaming Hub is coming to all of the company's smart TVs and monitors released this year.
The new feature compiles all the notable video game streaming apps and makes them accessible.
This means that owners of compatible Samsung smart TV and monitors can access Nvidia GeForce Now, Google Stadia, Twitch, as well as Utomik and Xbox TV, via the Samsung Gaming Hub UI.
Samsung also revealed that the Amazon Luna is coming soon as well.
With access to more than 100 games, we'd say that the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is worth a try for Xbox Cloud Gaming if only for a month if you have a compatible Samsung smart TV and monitor already.

The Oak Park Fire and Police Commission Wednesday fired Selester Gilty, a 12-year veteran of the suburb`s Police Department, for misrepresenting his academic credentials.
After deliberating on the matter for nearly 90 minutes, the commission opted for the most stringent penalty it could have levied against Gilty.
Gilty`s attorney, Armand Andry, called the decision ``a retaliatory measure`` for Gilty`s filing of a federal lawsuit against the village and vowed to appeal the decision.
``It is obvious that they were trying to take as much heat as possible off the situation and, instead, they have thrown gasoline on the fire,`` Andry said.
After a series of hearings, the fire and police commission ruled Sept. 8 that Gilty had lied about his academic credentials.
The commission had found him innocent of one of the charges relating to a written application for the position of sergeant that Gilty completed in 1984. The panel found that he had listed only the schools that he attended rather than what degrees he had earned.
But the patrolman was found guilty of lying about credentials during a 1985 interview with the commission, which was deciding whether to promote Gilty, and again in March during an interrogation by Police Chief William Kohnke.
Gilty had said he had received a degree from the University of Illinois-Chicago although evidence presented at the hearing showed he was 38 credit hours short.
In addition, Gilty had claimed that he had received a bachelor`s degree from Lewis University in Romeoville, although evidence showed he did not because he had failed to pass a required exam.
Both Gilty and his attorney, Armand Andry, had claimed Gilty believed he had received the degrees and that the patrolman never knowingly falsified his credentials.

For many municipalities, the solid waste collection budget represents a significant portion of its overall solid waste budget. Qualitative and material savings can be realized by focusing on optimizing a municipality’s solid waste collection routing.
A routing analysis involves assessing the performance metrics of your existing collection system, evaluating its unique characteristics, special considerations, and the geography of the municipality; then modeling the system using GIS database information and various modeling software; and lastly running optimization scenarios. The optimization scenarios allow testing of your routing model demonstrating the impact of various assumptions on productivity creating opportunities to improve your overall routing solution.
The City of Virginia Beach is the largest city in the Commonwealth, with a population of nearly 450,000. The City encompasses approximately 307 square miles, of which 248 square miles is land area and the rest water or wetlands. The City self-performs residential solid waste collection for approximately 122,000 customers. The northern sector of the City is devoted to more urban uses while the southern area remains more rural. Solid waste services include weekly automated residential household pickup, weekly manual yard waste collection and scheduled pick up of bulky wastes. The City contracts with a private company to collect and process single stream recyclables on an every-other-week basis.
SCS Engineers in conjunction with Route Optimization Consultants recently assisted the City to optimize their automated residential solid waste collection routes. The following improvements were realized as a result of the route optimization:
• 26% reduction in daily routes
– From 153 to 114 per week
– 38.25 to 28.5 per day
• $2,250,000 reduction in equipment inventory
• $1,100,000 annual savings in personnel, equipment maintenance, and fuel
• Route completion time extended from 7.6 to 9.2 hours, which translates into better utilization of personnel.
In short, the City of Virginia Beach by optimizing their solid waste routes created a sustainable solution and a positive return on investment.

This could be viewed as the 3rd and final installment of my trip to SE Asia in 2006 - as a sequel to my two previous TRs outlining 1) my trip from OKC to SGN (view here), and 2) trip from SGN to HAN and a tour of north Vietnam (here ).
We'd pretty much planned out our trip before leaving the US and knew that we'd have a few spare days between returning from the north and departing back to the US. I suggested trying to make a quick trip to Cambodia, as I was very keen on adding another country to this trip and seeing the temples at Angkor. My friends agreed, and the guy who had arrived in SGN before us checked into prices briefly and they seemed reasonable. So before we left for our tour of the north, we found a very nicely priced 3 day itinerary including tours of both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap/Angkor and quickly booked it. The package included VN flights from SGN to PNH and REP to SGN as well as a speedboat ticket for the trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. It would be a chance to visit another destination that's still off-the-beaten-track to some degree, and Cambodia being Cambodia, we figured it wasn't exactly a bad idea for this short a trip to have everything pre-arranged for us.
Date: August 4, 2006
STD/ATD: ~1145 (ontime)
ATD/ATA: ~1245 (ontime)
Equip: ATR-72 (VN-B248)
Duration: 45 minutes
Load: ~30-40% (one class)
We took a taxi to the International Terminal at SGN and arrived in plenty of time. Judging by the lines at check-in (there weren't any!), I could tell that this would be a very light flight. Interestingly enough, I had no idea what type of aircraft would be used on this route, as at the time VN had a very unusable website with barely any information available. Check-in was painless and we proceeded to pay the rather hefty departure tax of $14USD. Paying it wasn't too big a deal, but we realized that after we came back a few days later and left for good back to the US, we'd have to pay it again! Ah well. Proceeded upstairs to immigration where I had luckily kept my entry form - though I'm not sure that was communicated to us clearly upon entry. If I had one gripe about Vietnam, it would be that their customs agents sure take their time. Finally after what seemed like an hour (but was more likely 20 minutes), we passed through without any undue hassle and made our way to the departure gate. By the way, did anyone else get miffed that Vietnam immigration doesn't stamp your passport, but stamps the visa instead? I'd realized this after entering the first time but didn't build up the nerve to ask why. So I have no proof, in my passport anyway, that I was actually in Vietnam
I didn't suspect that we'd be on an ATR right away because so many departures there use remote gates, so it wasn't until we pulled up to the bird in the bus that I saw the turboprop. Good thing, too, as light as our load was today (I wonder how loads normally run on this route?). Boarded via the rear stairs as is the norm on ATRs and we revved up and departed swiftly. I'd been assigned an aisle seat, which was a bit annoying on such an empty flight, and I asked the male FA if I could switch to a window. I'm not sure he understood me completely, which is why I think he said "no." But I'm not sure and moved about halfway through. Just a beverage service on this flight even though it was lunch time (not even a snack!). As we approached PNH, I finally whipped out the Exilim:
We landed smoothly and taxied to the terminal:
And one of my favorite pics EVER:
Oh, apologies for the timestamps by the way. Right before we left SGN, I dropped my camera on the edge of the dresser at the hotel, shattering my screen, so we frantically got in touch with my friend's cousin who let me borrow his camera for the trip - and thank goodness as I don't think my non-A.nutter friends would have thought of taking these pics!
But anyway, after deplaning we proceeded inside to the visa-on-arrival area. We'd shrewdly gotten passport photos done in Saigon for approx 20,000 Dong I believe (barely more than a dollar), saving us whatever they would have charged us to have them done there. I don't know how much it would have been, but I'm sure more than I would have liked to pay! After filling out the mandatory tedious paperwork, we handed our passports and applications to an assembly-line style of workers. It seemed there was one person to take our materials, another to review them, another to tear off a sticker for the visa, another to place the visa in the passport, etc. But anyhow, we finally got our visas and made our way through immigration, baggage claim, and stepped outside into Cambodia!
We were met by our tour guides who took us to our hotel (Hotel Cara), which was GREAT - I highly recommend it! Here's a shot inside our room:
After that we went on a tour of some of the city's landmarks. Phnom Penh, the capital city, isn't near the tourist spot that Siem Reap has become, but it has it's fair share of attractions, and is probably a more realistic representation of Cambodia. In fact I'd argue that if you went to Siem Reap only, you're probably not seeing much of the "real Cambodia" at all. I'd read up on a little bit about Cambodia, Pol Pot, and the recent struggles with crime, child prostitution, and corruption, but I have a feeling I got a very "sheltered" tour - I never really saw the poorer areas of town (on the ground anyway). The area of our hotel was surrounded by what seemed to be upscale apartments - and everyone drove a Lexus or Mercedes! I got the feeling most of the residents in this area were foreigners or diplomats. We returned in the evening to our hotel, and a few minutes later we decided to cross the street and pick up a few beers from the Total. Never had a felt so creeped out in my life, I dont know why, but I just had a weird feeling about the place. After returning to the hotel I asked the clerk "Is it safe to walk outside at night?" "No," he said with a smile. Quite a bummer, because I really felt like going out and getting an "un-guided" tour of the city, but maybe that wasn't such a bad idea after all.
But anyway, here's the monument commemorating their independence from France:
The Royal Palace:
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - this was not a place for the faint of heart:
The next morning we awoke bright and early, the same tour guides met us at the our hotel and dropped us off at the boat pier for our ride. Here's a cabin shot:
Not our boat, but a clone:
We settled down inside, but I quickly became claustrophobic and it was quite loud where we were towards the back (due to the engine), so decided to have a look outside. Now I knew why half the seats were empty inside the cabin!
Typical lakeside dwelling:
It was definitely a bit nervewracking - you're basically walking down a 2 inch plank of wood with only a thin railing to hold on to - but the ride out here was definitely worth it. I borrowed a "Lonely Planet Southeast Asia" from another passenger and it mentioned the poor safety standards on these speedboats and the drownings that have occurred. I just pretended not to know that for the rest of the ride. About 4 hours we slowed down and were met by the "tugboat" that would tow us to Siem Reap:
A floating village close to Siem Reap - the poverty there was unlike anything I'd seen. It was quite a strange experience too - as many of the younger children would eagerly wave to the tourists, who would wave back. I just that that was a bit eerie. You just wonder what will happen to those kids:
And finally we arrived at Siem Reap pier, if you can call it that! It consisted of a 2x8 (feet) piece of wood connecting the boat to terra firm (sorry about the big head in the way!):
We carefully made our way down and paid a tout $2 each to get our bags for us which were still stuck in the back cargo hold of the boat. That's quite a rip-off for Cambodia but I wasn't too enthusiastic about trying to re-board and get my 50 lb suitcase down that plank. We were met by our guide for the next two days and quickly realized that it was going to be a long two days, lol. He just tried too hard to be "cool" and entertain us, and told really bad dirty jokes. But anyway, here are a few highlights of the temples at Angkor. Just some quick background info: the Angkor temples were constructed by kings of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from about 800 AD to 1400 AD, when it was sacked by the Thais. The ruins of the temples and city were stumbled upon in the 1500s ago by European explorers, and work has been underway since then to restore the temples. Siem Reap has since entered the tourist circuit, in fact almost excessively. Our tour guide told us that such a large chunk of tourist revenue is leaving Cambodia that the vast majority of people are not benefiting. Nonetheless, the temples are truly stunning pieces of architecture and places of worship! Really overwhelming to the senses, especially if you follow or are interested in Eastern religions. Here are some highlights:
Ta Prohm Temple (I believe Lara Croft:Tomb Raider was filmed here):
India-Cambodia cooperation - not sure if this is a good thing haha:
The main show, Angkor Wat:
Offering a prayer Khmer style:
Bayon Temple - temple of the Buddhas:
These girls were too cute - one of them asked where I was from - I said "India" - then started singing "Dhoom chale dhoom..." hahaha - and yes I did buy postcards from them
Dinner and dance show strictly for tourists:
Well soon enough it was time to head to REP for our flight to SGN. Check-in went smoothly - lines weren't bad but I could tell there would definitely be more people on this flight than our inbound to PNH. We weren't aware of the hefty $25 departure tax that's not included in the ticket price - thank goodness they took Visa because I was running a bit low on cash! By this time I'd worn out my borrowed camera's battery and I didnt have a chance to charge it, so I just have a few very crappy photos inside the terminal. This is a VN F70 departing for SGN, left about an hour before our flight:
I would have taken more but I was paranoid as usual and asked one of the airport employees whether I could take photos, but she obviously didn't know english so I didn't, then took some really quickly. I doubt it would have been a problem though. In fact, Jsnww81 proves me wrong here quite nicely. See his report for much better pics of REP.
Date: August 6, 2006
Equip: A320 (didn't catch the reg )
Duration: 45 minutes
Load: 100% in Y
The flight was delayed for a bit because the Captain announced that we were waiting for late-arriving passengers. They must have been important! Or maybe VN is just nice and doesn't leave without people Either way, the flight went smoothly - we were served a snackbox that contained a meat sandwich of some sort (probably better to not ask in Vietnam!), grapes, and some water which I thought tasted weird, but hey I lived to tell about it. As usual, the Vietnam immigration officials took their time, and this time I actually got asked a few questions "Why are you visiting Vietnam?" "How long are you staying this time?" - I guess not too surprising because the officer could clearly see that I'd already entered and exited. But he seemed satisfied with my answers and sent me on my way.
I thought Vietnam Airlines was very satisfactory for our trip. They seem to have pretty good service for what they do and are reliable. And the trip to Cambodia was amazing. I just felt a bond with the place that I can't really describe - maybe because so much of what I saw reminded of me of India, including their culture and customs. Many of the people looked really Indian too. I was thankful that we'd managed to hit Phnom Penh as well as Siem Reap, although you could argue that we didn't get to spend enough time in either place by doing that. I really hope they can move past the dark days of Pol Pot quickly and develop as a nation. I'd definitely recommend visiting and will definitely go back when I get a chance - and hopefully spend a bit more time soaking it all in. It was a bit too quick to really see much and we agreed on this after arriving back to the US, but oh well, always easy to play QB on monday morning.
Well that pretty much concludes my Asian adventure for 2006. We departed SGN the following evening and returned to OKC via the same routing (through NRT and DFW), the only difference was we flew VN from SGN to NRT. Their service wasn't bad for an overnight flight, but there was no IFE that I noticed of any sort which would be their only shortcoming. Otherwise the cabin was comfortable enough and the service was also quite good. A beverage was served after takeoff (around 1230 AM), and full breakfast was served before landing at NRT. Upon landing the purser came on and said "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Kansai.....(awkward pause)....Excuse me, welcome to Narita." That's more like it! I had a little less than 5 hours at NRT so I tried to leave the airport for a bit and possibly catch the train to Narita City, but they warned me that I probably didn't have enough time In hindsight, I would have loved to just get a Japanese stamp and see at least the departures side of NRT, but oh well, maybe next time!
As always thanks for reading - hope you guys enjoyed - and be sure to leave me some comments!!!

Bad Saint is a Filipino restaurant that opened in the fall of 2015 at 3226 11th St NW, and which has been generating quite the buzz ever since. If you haven’t heard about Bad Saint yet, you’re quite possibly living under a rock. Be aware before you go that they don’t take reservations and don’t accommodate groups larger than 4 people. The place is pretty tiny, so you will wait a long time for a table. We put our name in at 7:30 pm on a Sunday and our table was ready at a little before 9. Fortunately, you can pass the time with some delicious cocktails at Room 11 next door, and they will text you when your table is ready.
A delicious cocktail made with lambanog, a coconut liquor.
Bad Saint is absolutely worth the wait. Between the delicious, complex, and flavorful food, the excellent cocktails, and the friendly service, everything is just perfect. We ordered most of the items on the menu, all of which was excellent. But before I recount the delicious things we ate, be aware that the menu items change frequently. One of the cocktails that we had included a delicious Filipino coconut liquor called lambanog. My bartender friend and I expressed curiosity about the liquor itself, so the friendly staff gave us each a free shot in addition to the cocktail. I also had a Red Horse Beer, which is a Filipino malt liquor that is pretty crappy. That said, Bad Saint gets points for serving the authentic goods.
The octopus was delicious.
The food was excellent across the board. We had banana hearts as a starter, which are the flowers of the banana tree. We also had a couple of ceviche-like dishes, including one made with octopus. Both were totally delicious. A standout, however, was the flounder, served whole, eyes and all. The very flavorful and reasonably tender (by goat standards) goat was excellent as well. Though we were pretty stuffed after the meal, we were talked into ordering dessert, which was a delicious, light concoction of fruit and syrup (no, not that heavy, awful kind of syrup), topped with flower petals. They also gave us each a small additional dessert on the house.
Check out that flounder!
Simply put, Bad Saint absolutely lives up to the hype, and it is a must for anyone with a serious DC dining bucket list.
Save room for dessert!

Turkey's industrial production in August rose 1.7 percent compared to the same month last year, the country's statistical authority said Tuesday.
Among the three main sub-indices, the mining and quarrying index posted the highest annual rise in the month, with 6.1 percent, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) said in a statement.
The manufacturing index went up 1.2 percent, while the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply index rose 2.9 percent during the same period.
Industrial production is considered a vital indicator for the economy, as it is seen as a preliminary gauge for GDP growth.
However, on a monthly basis the figure also dropped 1.1 percent in August.
Among all sub-sectors of the seasonal and calendar-adjusted industrial sector, solely mining and quarrying saw a monthly increase in August, rising by 5 percent.
Manufacturing index and electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply index slipped by 1.5 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, during the same period.
The term "calendar-adjusted" is used to refer to data without calendar and holiday-originated effects.
TurkStat will release the next industrial production figures on Nov. 16.

- sweet spot
- shimano gears
- shipping carrier
Bike in a box ... was easy to assemble however upin test ride the shimano gears would slip out of 2nd and was not adjusted properly ... after 3 attempts to adjust i believe i have found the sweet spot and it seems to be operating efficiently... the entire assembly of the shimano device(gear change,cable,hub) is a $20 part so i suppose i should expect too much ? However for a $300 bicycle i did expect alittle more. Overall though it's a nice ride though i do prefer more of a butterfly/mountain bike style of handlebars and i will be purchasing some different grips ... i got the Army green and i love the flat finish and black accents. Nice tires and coaster brake . It's a sharp looking bike and seems to be sturdy enough.
First things first...don’t leave a negative review about the bike because the shipping carrier failed to hold their end. Take it up with them on their website. This bike is top notch and comes almost fully assembled. All you need to do is put on the bars, pedals and front tire (so easy a caveman could do it) Retrospec never fails to deliver and I wouldn’t recommend shopping anywhere else.
The Chatham Beach Cruiser is more than I expected. Moderately priced,classy looking and smooth as silk gear shifting and breaking makes this Bicycle very easy to handle when out for a ride. I will surely recommend retrospect to my friends and family. Shipping packaging and delivery were everything you would expect. I will soon order another Chatham when in stock. You can’t go wrong. Ralph. P.
Great piece of machinery for the money. Very happy with retrospect in its product. Just received my bike today. Put it together in 20 minutes and in perfect condition not a scratch. Smooth shifting three gears perfect for flatland or hills.Will do business again with retrospect and recommend their bicycles to my friends and family.
Purchased this bike in the Matte Gray w/ Orange and couldn't be more pleased. Arrived undamaged, easy to assemble and works perfectly. It was everything I was looking for in a beach cruiser 3-speed style. When my wife saw what I was looking at online, she decided she wanted one too, so we ordered her the 3-speed step-thru style in Seafoam green. All told, two sharp looking bikes for $600. We'll order again, probably something for the grand-kids as well as accessories for our bikes. Thanks for the quality product and top-notch service.

Regional Training Workshop on the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting for Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean
The Regional Training Workshop on the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting for Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean is jointly organized by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE), in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), and the European Union.
The Training Workshop will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 21 to 23 November 2018. It is organized as part of the project “Natural Capital Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services” funded by the European Union, and implemented by UNSD, UN Environment and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
The Training Workshop constitutes the second phase of the regional training program, which builds upon the online phase of the training started in mid-September. The in-person phase will provide a unique opportunity for participants who have already acquired an understanding of basic SEEA EEA concepts to improve their knowledge through practical exercises and discussions on implementation issues.


new Delhi. Italian auto company Piaggio’s scooter brand Vespa is soon going to enter the electric vehicle segment of India. Vespa’s retro-aesthetic design makes it recognized as a luxury scooter brand from Italy. The company has now shown interest in the EV space and wants to introduce an ecosystem in India that will become self-sufficient in future after the Government of India decides to stop subsidies for EVs.
Piaggio may also bring another sporty brand Aprilia under its banner. As of now, the price (or even the launch date in India) of the Vespa electric scooter in India is yet to be revealed. Talking to the media, Piaggio India’s Managing Director Diego Graffi said that they want to create such an EV ecosystem in India, which can survive even without subsidy. Due to the FAME II subsidy, the cost of electric vehicles in India remains low.

Diego Graffi said, “We don’t want to enter the market just to take entry. We will have a powertrain, which will be based on our specifications. We don’t want to take anything off the shelf. So it is taking more time.” Piaggio makes three-wheeler vehicles in India. But its Vespa and Aprilia brands also make two-wheeler vehicles in Italy. The company has said that it wants to introduce an electric scooter in India under the Vespa brand.
Earlier, the company had showcased the Vespa Elettrica electric scooter at the Auto Expo 2020. On a single charge, it gives a range of up to 100 km. It will take four hours to fully charge the battery. However, the company had not revealed anything about the Euro-spec Electrica before this. The peak power output of this electric scooter from Vespa is 4 kW. It is expected that the company can launch the updated version of this scooter in India as well.

Electric will be given a 4 KW electric motor, which will generate 5.36 horsepower peak power and 20 newton meter peak torque. This scooter has been designed by the company in Italy and it is expected that this scooter will set a new trend in the two-wheeler segment. Being an electric scooter, the Vespa Electrica will cost a bit more. It has been claimed in different media reports that its price in the Indian market can be around 90 thousand rupees. The company will launch it in the standard model only.

Last year Zayn Malik caused us to be very concerned for his wellbeing when he cancelled a series of his first ever solo performances moments before he was due to go on stage.
At the time, the former One Direction star bravely opened up about his erratic behaviour and admitted it was caused by his feelings of anxiety.
Since then, the 24-year-old singer has released his hit debut album ‘Pillow Talk’, collaborated with Taylor Swift on the song ‘I Don’t Want To Live Forever’ for the ‘Fifty Shades’ sound track and released a book and fashion line. It begs the question, is he looking after his mental health as he seems to take on even more work projects?
Zayn finally gave us an update in an interview over the weekend and revealed that his anxiety first developed when he was in One Direction, but he’s reassured fans that he now has it under control.
Speaking to the Sunday Times Style magazine, Zayn said: “I now have no problem with anxiety. It was something I was dealing with in the band.”
And he believes opening up about his issues with food helped.
He said: “People saw strength in that, and they didn’t seem to expect it from a guy, but they expect it from a female, which to me is crazy. We’re all human. People are often afraid to admit difficulties, but I don’t believe that there should be a struggle with anything that’s the truth.”
Zayn revealed his issues with food in his first autobiography and described it as a “control thing” rather than a disorder.
He explained: “It wasn’t specifically an eating disorder. It was a control thing. Every area of my life was so regimented and controlled, it was the one area where I could say, ‘No, I’m not eating that.’ Once I got over the control, the eating just came back into place, super naturally. Not supernaturally!
“Just really naturally. I came back to the UK and spent some time with my mum and got some TLC, and she cooked me food and I got back in touch, mentally, with a lot of the things I’d lost.”
Zayn also admitted he has no idea why he was known as the “mysterious one” when he was in One Direction, alongside Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
He said: “I have no idea why. It was obviously a marketing strategy to appeal to different areas of female personalities and wants and needs. ‘I might want a cute one’, ‘I might want a cheeky one’, ‘I might want a mysterious one’, that’s all it was. It’s cool, that’s life, I guess. I don’t really think of myself as mysterious, but maybe I am.”

✏The Great Gatsby Book Summary : Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s, during the prosperous and crazy years following World War I.

L. Mencken, and Edmund Wilson. Berman's fresh approach considers the meaning of various ideas important to the novel: for example, those moral qualities governing both social and individual life. Berman's reading of the text reveals extraordinary emphases on matters that could productively be described as philosophicalthe nature of friendship, love, and the good life. But the text of the novel has many echoes, and the same concern with moral issues - especially those issues affecting democratic life - can be found in a number of other texts of the first quarter of the century.

RICHMOND, Indiana – A torrid 3-point shooting from the Quakers helped lift Earlham College men’s basketball to a 74-67 win over Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference rival Bluffton University, Wednesday night at the Druley Performance Gym.
Final Score: Earlham 74, Bluffton 67
Location: Richmond, Indiana – Druley Performance Gym
Records: Earlham 6-8, 2-5 HCAC / Bluffton 7-7, 3-4 HCAC
THE SHORT STORY
Earlham splashed 12 of its 22 3-point attempts on the night, led by Jamel Barnes Jr. with a 4-of-7 mark from beyond the arc on his way to a team-high 16 points. Barnes added to his point total with a 4-for-4 effort at the free-throw line, with six rebounds and four assists.
The Quakers went 7-of-10 from long range in the second half, which helped the Maroon and White take the lead in a game that had been tied 36-36 at the intermission.
Blake Bonin’s 3-pointer with 12:28 showing on the second half clock put the Quakers in front, 52-49, and Earlham held the lead the rest of the way. Bluffton cut the margin to two points, 66-64, as late as the 3:11 mark, but Thomas Sanborn answered with a 3-pointer for Earlham to give the Quakers a two-possession advantage.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
Kenneth Stalling Jr. was the only other Earlham player in double figures with 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Sanborn finished with nine points off the bench, while Bonin chipped in with eight points to go with a game-high eight assists.
Earlham shot 50.9 percent (27-of-53) from the field, but was still outshot by a Bluffton squad that connected at a 57.8 percent (26-of-45) clip. Bluffton also outworked Earlham on the board, 33-16.
The Quakers forced the Beavers into committing 23 turnovers, resulting in 24 Earlham points, while the Maroon and White had just 12 giveaways on the night.
Earlham men’s basketball is on the road this Saturday, Jan. 18, when the Quakers travel to Hanover College for an HCAC doubleheader. The men’s game will tip-off at 2:00 p.m., followed by the women’s game at 4:00 p.m.
BLUFFTON, Ohio – Earlham College women’s basketball was unable to stifle Bluffton University’s comeback bid in a 70-65 loss to the Beavers, Wednesday evening at the Sommer Center.
Final Score: Bluffton 70, Earlham 65
Location: Bluffton, Ohio – Sommer Center
Records: Earlham 4-10, 3-4 HCAC / Bluffton 9-5, 3-4 HCAC
THE SHORT STORY
Earlham led Bluffton, 51-44, heading into the fourth quarter, but the Beavers scored seven-straight points to open the final frame and knotted the game at 51-51 with 7:29 remaining on a Brianna Gillig foul shot.
Following a layup from Earlham first-year Trinity McClendon and two more free throws from Gillig, the Quakers regained a 55-53 lead on a pair of foul shots from senior Amy Weisner. However, Bluffton answered with a 3-pointer by TJ Mills, giving the Beavers a lead.
The Quakers tied things two more times, the final time coming at the 3:11 mark on a senior Camryn White layup before the Beavers took the lead for good on foul shots. Bluffton went 9-for-10 at the charity stripe over the final three minutes of play, while Earlham went 2-of-7 from the floor over the same span in its bid to catch the Beavers.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
McClendon shot the proverbial lights out to lead Earlham with a career-high 21 points, with a 7-of-10 mark from the field – including a 3-of-3 effort from 3-point range – with a 4-for-4 ledger at the free-throw line.
Junior Kayla Bowling was the only other Quaker in double figures with 10 points and completed her stat line with four rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Three players – White, Weisner, and senior Zoe Curtis – each tallied six points.
Junior Acacia Tenette paced the Quakers on the glass with nine rebounds to go with her three assists.
Earlham and Bluffton shot an identical 38.5 percent from the floor. The Beavers leveraged 30 Quaker fouls into a 26-for-40 mark at the free-throw line; Earlham shot a perfect 10-for-10 at the charity stripe on 15 Bluffton fouls.
Earlham women’s basketball returns to the court on Saturday, Jan. 18, when the Quakers head to Hanover College for the first game of an HCAC doubleheader. Tip-off for the women’s game is slated for approximately 4:00 p.m., after the conclusion of the men’s game between the Quakers and the Panthers.

We humans like to live near the water. In fact, half of the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of the coast, and 40 percent of the world's population is within 60 miles of the ocean. That's one reason sea level rise brought on by climate change would be so devastating.
Today inScience Advances, an international team of physicists and climate researchers led by Ricarda Winkelmann at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany calculated what would happen if we humans finish burning through our estimated 10,000 gigatons of total carbon resources (including all our oil and natural gas) at full throttle. The results are not pretty. Their model, which calculated how completely the various ice-sheets composing the Antarctic continent will melt given different influxes of atmospheric carbon dioxide, predicts 160 feet of sea level rise based on that extreme scenario. With an extra 160 feet of water, you can wave goodbye to New York City, Boston, L.A, Beijing, Tokyo, and Cairo, as well as almost all of lowly Bangladesh and Florida.
According to Winkelmann's calculations, even smaller amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide will have staggering and long-lasting effects on both the melting antarctic and global sea rise.
More From Popular Mechanics
How much, exactly? Well, with all our cars and factories, in 2013 alone humans emitted roughly 10 billion GtC (that's 10 billion metric tons) of carbon. According to the model, roughly 12 more years of the same emissions (125 GtC) could cause half a foot of sea level rise in the next 1,000 years, which would gradually increase to 2.5 feet of rise by the next 10,000 years.
If you assume that we go on burning our 2013 levels of carbon dioxide pollution for another 120 years (that's assuming we don't increase our CO2 production past 2013 levels), that would cause a 15-foot rise in the next thousand years, and an astonishing 50-foot rise in the next 10,000.
"There's a fundamental lesson we should take from this: the actions and economic path we take today will have far-reaching consequences," says Bob Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who was not involved in the research. "We're already feeling the effects of the rising level of global carbon dioxide. But we should keep in mind that these gasses stay up in the atmosphere for many millennia, causing increasing changes that will be irreversible on a human timescales."
According to Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist with Stanford University who was on the research team, calculating how warmer temperatures and greenhouse gasses increase Antarctic melting is a far more complicated task than you might think. "While I'm sure anyone intuitively understands that as ice heats up, it melts... this is not just as simple as a big block of ice melting," he says.
That's because Antarctic's many sheets of ice melt and respond differently to various water and air temperatures, causing physical effects that are a total pain to model with any accuracy, such as cave-ins when ice melts rapidly from below. Worse, the subtle effect of these relatively small-scale phenomena can cause complicated feedback loops that can speed up the rate at which different parts of Antarctica melt. (Or in some cases slow it down, such as when slightly warmer air causes more snow to fall.)
Because of this complicated puzzle, sophisticated models like this one can offer unexpected insights. For example: While the concept that burning all 10,000 gigatons of Earth's carbon resources would melt the Antarctic may not come as a huge surprise to climate scientists—at least according to Kopp—Caldeira explains that "our study nonetheless surprised me in two ways. First in showing how fast these ice sheets melt, and second in demonstrating how the warming effect from CO2 hangs around for such an incredibly long time."
"But the bigger point here is not a subtle one," Caldeira says. "What we have is good, solid, quantitative evidence that humans could melt all the ice on this Earth"—and are quickly moving in that direction.

Early in my marriage, my husband worked nights and I worked days. Many nights, I would stay up and wait for him to come home. Eventually, I could not keep that schedule anymore because I needed to be rested for work. Sometimes he would have a late arrest that would keep him an hour or two past his regular shift. If he knew I was in bed already, he usually didn't call me. If it came early enough in the night, he would try to let me know that he would be later than usual. On occasion (the nights he didn't call) I would wake up and find that he was not home yet. That always made me anxious, because I wanted to be sure he was okay. What if it hadn't been a late arrest? What if he had a car accident? What if someone accosted him in the alley? What if he had been hurt at work and nobody had sent word to me yet? All kinds of fearful things crossed my mind until he arrived. Once he walked through the door, I was at ease. I was at peace again.
In the beginning of this passage, the bride is having a fitful dream. It is causing her great distress. She can't find her groom and she is starting to panic. She goes out into the streets asking the guards where he might be and when she finds him, she is relieved. She can go back to sleep. The groom orders that nobody is to disturb her. He wants her to rest.
|The Reunion--Taken from Old Christmas|
By Randolph Caldecott, 1892

My life can be like that. I become fearful in situations, I let things scare me, disturb me, upset me. I pace with worry and try to figure out how I will solve my dilemma. Why? When I take them to my Lord, He will deal with them. He will comfort me and soothe me and put me back to sleep. He will take the things that give me fear and headaches and stress and He will hold onto them for me. He will listen to my concerns. He will quiet my fears. He will not allow them to bother me again. I don't have to go looking for Him, He is always there. I need never worry that something would happen to Him. He is in control of it all and I can sleep soundly knowing He can handle it.

In this post you will find Dr Barry Farber Talkspace…
is an online treatment service that permits you to text chat with a certified, recognized therapist 24/7. Keep checking out to see how it works, what to think about, and if it’s right for you.
How does work?
Depending upon what you’re looking for, uses counseling for families, couples, or people. You produce an account and fill out a questionnaire to discover the ideal match.
During the survey, you’re able to note out your therapist choices, including their gender, faith, age, sexual orientation, language, in addition to what issues you’re intending to deal with, and how important it is that your counselor be well versed in those subjects.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a number of days to be matched to an in-state counselor.
According to, therapists are certified, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists, marital relationship and family therapists, clinical social workers, or certified expert therapists.
All the business’s counselors have a master’s or doctorate degree and have at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience as psychological health experts.
You can just email to be reassigned if you do not like who you’re combined with.
” Treatment can be daunting, especially for a lot of first-time clients. Text-based interaction (texting and live-chat sessions) are a fantastic method to take a few of the anxiety out of beginning treatment and assistance customers dive into the process,” states James Imrie, the creative and marketing supervisor at.
Is BetterHelp com legit?
As soon as you’ve been matched with a counselor, you can instantly start messaging them in a personal and secure chatroom.
The chat room is accessible at any time as long as your gadget has reputable internet. Messaging isn’t done in real-time, so there’s no surefire action time from your therapist. As a result, you’re complimentary to message your therapist at any hour of the day.
Your therapist will respond with concerns, assistance, homework, or feedback, and the app will notify you of their reaction.
The discussions are saved in the chat room so you’re complimentary to go over and show whenever you ‘d like. Every conversation is also safeguarded by stringent federal and state HIPAA laws.
If you do not like waiting hours for an action, you can head to the calendar and schedule a live chat session with your therapist.
This choice imitates the comfort of texting a buddy who immediately comprehends.
” Jotting down your thoughts is an useful exercise for all kinds of scenarios,” Imrie states. “If you feel like your thoughts are crowded or foggy, boiling them down into a few sentences can assist bring a lot of clarity and understanding.”
Live phone session
For those who prefer resolving issues out loud, it’s possible to arrange an hour-long call with your counselor.
The system does not share your personal phone number with the counselor and everything is done through the app.
Live video session
If you’re someone who takes pleasure in in person conversation, you can also arrange a video session with your therapist. Simply go to at your visit time and your therapist will prompt you to start the video chat.
From the age of about 13 onwards, I have actually suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I have actually primarily come to terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I certainly wouldn’t mind being less so. I’ve had counselling before, and it does assist.
And drawing back from my own (reasonably subtle) problems for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health issues escalating amongst under-30s? With cuts to psychological health services truly beginning to bite, digitised therapy could be simply the ticket for young people who currently filter almost every element of their lives– good friends, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
Not everybody is completely persuaded that moving psychological health care online is the method forward. “You get to know not just what it’s like to talk to the individual, however how it feels to be in a space with them.
” I have actually carried out some research into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of standard counselling; it’s simply not quite the same thing. It’s really crucial that people who participate in it understand that it’s a various experience from being in the room with someone, speaking in person.”
” In terms of ease of access, it’s a good start and certainly much better than absolutely nothing. It’ll ideally lead them to eventually showing up in the room.
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some patients towards online programmes instead of face-to-face counselling, a phenomenon that concerns Dr Balick.
If it’s rolled out just to conserve cash and there aren’t crucial questions being asked about these services, that’s not great. Then, I’m constantly extremely sceptical of individuals who are either really really professional or extremely very against online mental health care.
Well, if the future of mental health care is everything about IMs, FaceTime and ‘OMG, which neuroses R U?’ tests, I decided I ‘d find out what that brave new world would be like. I registered for 4 really different online psychological health services– varying in expense from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my stress and anxieties through them all, all at once, for a week. Here’s what I discovered.
Does BetterHelp use licensed therapists? Dr Barry Farber Talkspace
What I’m doing here is evaluating my experience of using each mental health service, rather than its effectiveness – due to the fact that even the most wizard-like therapist isn’t going to ‘cure’ you in simply one week. Okay, cool – let’s mental health!
How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), United States company is the business leviathan of the e-counselling video game. They declare to have 500 licensed counsellors working for them, each with a minimum of 3 years of experience.
After filling in a survey to determine what particular flavour of mental you are, you’re coupled with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly swap for a various one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then start an immediate messaged therapy session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, go on and on until among you ultimately died.
What does it cost?
You get a complimentary seven-day trial – similar to a complimentary Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, except with method more questions about what your youth resembled. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for limitless message-based counselling and one ‘complimentary’ phone session with your counsellor per month. Yeah, I do not get how it’s free either, however whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
Filtering that through immediate messaging may be practical if you discover the concept of baring your soul to a stranger a bit awks. You will not get the same connection similar to face-to-face counselling, but the semi-anonymity might make it easier to open up if you’ve been drinking 2 bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan’s bridal gown every night.
She first determined the scale of my stress and anxiety, what activates it– social circumstances, meeting people for the very first time– and then dived headlong into my fractious youth (separated parents, stretched familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was quite nosey tbh, but then that’s her task, isn’t it?
In general, the service is remarkably slick. The conversation can be a little stop-starty at times, however it was in fact a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I expected. I even got rapid reactions to messages over the weekend, which was unanticipated.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The reality you can modify messages before sending them means you’re unlikely to blurt out something revealing and vulnerable in the heat of the minute. So extensive moments of realisation might be tough to come by if you can’t get a relaxed circulation going.
Who do I believe it might it be good for?
Anybody with a low-end mental health issue who’s cool with getting counselled in a very internet-y, 2016-y method. If you’re living under the blackest, bleakest cloud possible and need serious attention (and potentially some meds), probably isn’t for you Dr Barry Farber Talkspace

City Council Passes Mayor's Term Limits Bill
By a vote or 29 to 22, current office holders can serve 3 terms instead of 2
Thursday, October 23, 2008
New York, NY —
Bob, a very close vote. More than 10 Councilmembers waited until the last minute to declare their position. Upper West Side councilwoman Gail Brewer was one of them. She voted no, saying that, while she agreed with the mayor's bill, she doesn't like the way it was presented.

It's finally done...well, almost. The $7 million Grand Marais Breakwater Project is days away from completion--$5 million came from the state, a little over $200,000 came from Burt Township, and the rest is from the Army Corps of Engineers. It's been a rocky road, but residents are overjoyed.
"It's been difficult. It's been frustrating, but we are so pleased with the end result. It's just absolutely fantastic," said Wendy Lowe, Grand Marais resident.
"It's wonderful. It's something we've all dreamed about forever, and it's finishing and we're just so happy to see it," said Pat Munger, another Grand Marais resident.
The completed breakwater will make the harbor safer for mariners and reduce the amount of sand that flows in. Residents are expecting tourism to increase. With the calmer waters, some locals are looking forward to being able to ice fish. With stronger waves near the shore, a frozen harbor has been rare.
"Now that we have the breakwall, they're expecting it will freeze over this year. We all hope so because they're building wonderful ice shacks and things to go out to do their ice fishing," Munger said.
Jack Hubbard has worked tirelessly on the project for years. His end of the project is complete. All that remains is for the Army Corps of Engineers to finish placing the remaining armor stones in the 87 feet between the two sections of the breakwater. They are using limestone to rebuild the previous breakwater, but Hubbard chose the darker granite rocks for the new section. They cost about a million dollars extra but may not need maintenance for 100 years, whereas the limestone rocks may need maintenance as much as once every 20 years. He said he wanted to build a structure that would last.
"I would hate to have to see my grandchildren go through what I had to go through or anybody in this community who is here 30 year from now," said Hubbard.
After about six years of work, Hubbard is finally feeling relieved to see his project come to an end.
"It definitely makes me feel very, very good to see that this harbor is going to be saved now, and it's going to be here for generations to come," Hubbard said.
The Army Corps of Engineers will likely place the last stone in the next couple of days. Hubbard said he is considering writing a book of his experiences with the project. He is also immensely thankful to his community that his been by his side the entire way.

On March 5, 2014 the Company issued a statement to clarify speculative reports regarding disruptions by illegal miners that occurred at its Guanajuato Mine (see press release dated March 5 on SEDAR or the Company's Website). While illegal mining activities have not caused meaningful disruptions in the past, some Company personnel and local residents have lately been subjected to intimidation and escalating violence from illegal miners intent on gaining access to the Company's mining operations and stealing ore. The Company initially took a non-confrontational approach to keep the illegal miners out of the mine, but more recently hired an armed security force to protect employees, contractors and assets as the illegal miners began entering the property by force and with weapons. Earlier today, the Company announced that approximately 60 people gained unauthorized entry to the Company's main administration building and plant facility in Guanajuato and at this time they continue to illegally occupy the facilities. All employees and contractors are safe and accounted for, and are off site. There have been no reports of any violence. Mining, plant and administration services have been shut down until the situation is resolved. The Company is working with municipal, state and federal authorities to find a peaceful and expedient resolution to this situation, however, is currently reviewing all options to regain custody of its facility and ensure the security of its operations and people.

In the mix today is a whole lot of Windows 10 devices for education plus a brand new Microsoft Classroom Pen. The Microsoft Education team announced a bunch of news at the annual Bett conference this week, starting with devices, complete with big fat discounts for schools. It’s almost as if Microsoft wants to make a big dinger in Google’s Chromebook business – the business that used to be unquestionably dominated by Windows machines.

Devices for Education
The newest Windows devices announced this week will also be out with extra detail in their own individual articles from Lenovo, Acer, and Dell. Three Lenovo laptops, three Acer laptops, and a single Dell device is and are ready to roll in this new initiative.
New Windows 10 devices for Education:
• Lenovo 100e
• Lenovo 300e (2-in-1) ***
• Lenovo 14w
• Acer TravelMate B1(B118-M)
• Acer TravelMate Spin B1 (B118-R/RN)
• Acer TravelMate B1-141
• Dell Latitude 3300 for Education
*** This is an interesting device, of that you can be sure. It’s a notebook and can transform into a tablet (folded back over itself), and it has a stylus built in. They call that “garaged” – since it’s parked when not in use. The stylus functionality also works with a No. 2 graphite pencil. Somehow the display doesn’t take on the graphite while you’re writing, and the pencil works just like a stylus – strange! You might remember this technology as Lenovo AnyPen – on Lenovo Yoga Book.
Microsoft Teams updates
The Microsoft Teams environment had a few updates announced this week including mobile grading, Turnitin integration, Grade Sync, some MakeCode integration, and an upgrade to Assignments. Grade Sync will automatically send grades from Teams assignments to a teacher’s SIS (Student Information System) – this is currently in preview mode. Mobile grading is coming to the Teams mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Turnitin is a system with which plagiarism can be detected with a quick scan of the web, searching for not only exact matches, but similar turns of phrase and similarities the likes of which a human might never catch without computer assistance. Turnitin integration with Teams allows subscribers (to Turnitin) to see alerts “in a single view within Teams Assignments.”
Microsoft Classroom Pen
There’s a new stylus in this education market from Microsoft, and it was built “with K-8 students and schools in mind.” This stylus was made for use with the Surface Go, and was “designed for students who put their learning tools through heavy wear and tear.” It’s got a “durable, hardened pen tip,” and comes with one replacement tip right out the gate.
Microsoft Classroom Pen will be available “exclusively to education institutions,” and will be sold in packs of 20. They’ll come in at around $40 per pen – or, you know, math, approximately $800 a box. This stylus will be available in all 36 markets in which the Surface Go is already available, with availability starting in February of 2019.

The kitchen at 14a Palmtree Ave, ScarboroughMr Cattanach said having a sole bidder at the auction was not indicative of the interest in the home. “We had about 35 groups come through the property and there were other buyers, but they weren’t in the position to bid at auction,” he said. “There is not a lot available in Scarborough at the moment so people are waiting for quality listings in the area.“That’s why we had so many groups come through Palmtree Ave in two weeks. “Properties that are listed predominantly sell within two to three weeks.” The Scarborough-based agent said buyers were looking for blocks of 500-600sq m. “Most buyers aren’t interested in anything that would require too much work,” he said.

PHOENIX — Playing shortstop is not like riding a bike. Chris Taylor held up his error in the seventh inning Monday as a case in point.Jarrod Dyson hit a ground ball to the left of the mound that caromed off Dodgers pitcher Tony Cingrani. Suddenly, time was of the essence. With 20-20 hindsight, Taylor believes he should have tossed the ball to second base for a forceout. Instead, he rushed a throw to first that sailed high. Cody Bellinger had to jump just to keep the ball from encroaching on the first row of seats. By the time his feet returned to solid ground, it was too late to tag the speedy Dyson.“That’s one of those plays that, the more I’m there, the game will slow down a little bit,” Taylor said.Taylor should have plenty of time to re-adjust to his natural position. All-Star Corey Seager will miss the rest of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery. The position is Taylor’s to lose. Turner hasn’t played this season while recovering from a fractured bone in his left hand. He only began swinging a bat last week.Forsythe is on the 10-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder.Rich Hill threw a bullpen session Tuesday and will start Sunday’s game in Monterrey, Mexico against the San Diego Padres. Hill is recovering from a cut on his left middle finger and a subsequent infection.The Dodgers haven’t determined who will start Friday and Saturday’s games, but Roberts mentioned left-hander Alex Wood and right-hander Walker Buehler as candidates.ALSOBrock Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City one day after he threw 1-2/3 innings out of the bullpen. Stewart allowed three hits and one run, and struck out three batters in his 2018 debut. … Left-hander Edward Paredes was recalled from Oklahoma City prior to Tuesday’s game. Paredes was 1-2 with one save and a 1.86 ERA at Triple-A. … The Facebook Watch broadcast of Thursday’s game will feature Rich Waltz calling the game alongside analysts representing both clubs, the Dodgers’ Orel Hershiser and former D-back Eric Byrnes. Dodgers bench slumping Cody Bellinger for a day Dodgers’ Justin Turner looking rejuvenated on defense This isn’t a cold audition. The Dodgers tried to keep Taylor’s shortstop instincts warm during Cactus League play, and again during pregame drills in the regular season. Adjusting to a double-play partner – Chase Utley, Austin Barnes, Kiké Hernandez or Logan Forsythe – shouldn’t be a problem, he said.But game speed is something no one can practice. Taylor said that playing an inning here or there can only help so much.“Shortstop’s a really tough position to play if you’re not there every day,” he said. “It helps with your confidence, getting in that routine. It’s a position where you have to be aggressive. There can be no doubt. I like the idea of having an everyday player at shortstop rather than a platoon.”INJURY UPDATESInfielder Logan Forsythe might begin his minor league rehab assignment this weekend, Manager Dave Roberts said, but Justin Turner is unlikely to join him.Related Articles Dodgers’ hot-hitting Corey Seager leaves game with back injury Whicker: Dustin May yet another example of the Dodgers’ eye for pitching Turner “took a lot of dry swings, a lot of grounders,” Roberts said. “It’s pushed back a little bit, not for any real reason but just the progression.” Dodgers’ Dave Roberts says baseball’s unwritten rules ‘have changed, should change’ Newsroom GuidelinesNews TipsContact UsReport an Error

AUTOMOTIVE component suppliers across the West Midlands are being urged to take part in a forum to ensure they understand the latest support packages.
Supply chain support programme Accelerate – which is being extended for a further 12 months – has joined forces with Business Link in the West Midlands and the Manufacturing Advisory Service to host the event at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce today.
The aim is to get a snapshot of current difficulties and how these can be overcome by a range of support.
An initial forum held before Christmas identified several issues of concern, with many firms still unaware of how to access funds in time to save their businesses.
This message was reinforced at the West Midlands Automotive Industry Summit at the ICC in Birmingham last week, when suppliers said the drying up of credit was hitting the sector hard and that many firms were on the brink of collapse.
They called for financial support packages to be speeded up and the eligibility criteria for the new government relief schemes announced immediately.
Wage subsidies to support workers on short-time, access to credit insurance and long-term investment in green technologies were also highlighted.
Rachel Eade, Accelerate programme manager, said these issues would be explored further at the forum, which is open to suppliers from around the region.
She said: “Lord Mandelson has announced a £2.3billion relief package to the industry, while Advantage West Midlands has launched the £9million Bridge Fund, which provides loans to viable businesses ranging from £50,000 to £250,000.
“Nevertheless there is still a great deal of confusion over what type of help is available, so this forum will provide an opportunity to gauge the most pressing needs of the sector and to determine what we can do to help.”
Accelerate has linked up with financial adviser Grant Thornton’s automotive restructuring and advisory service.
Suppliers at the forum will learn how the firm and other financial advisers are helping to provide advice and business planning.

Annual Wage Review decision made.
The Fair Work Commission handed down its Annual Wage Review decision late last week and from 1 July, the national minimum wage will be increased by 1.75%. The new minimum hourly wage will be $19.84 (or $753.80 per week). This equates to an increase of 35 cenour or $13.00 pets per hr week.
This rise is significantly lower than other years and below the current consumer price inflation figure of 2.2%.
The increase awarded in 2019 was 3%. This year, the Australian Council of Trade Unions were asking for a 4% increase. Conversely employers were pushing for a wage freeze due to COVID and the fact that many businesses are struggling financially.
In handing down the decision the Expert Panel of the Fair Work Commission acknowledged the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and said they had to balance the perspectives of both employees and employers. In determining the rate they said they had also taken into account the recently introduced Jobkeeper and Jobseeker schemes which benefit low income households.
Modern award rates will also be increased by 1.75% but unlike previous years when all increase are effective from 1 July, increases for different awards are being staggered across different months!
The Fair Work Commission acknowledged that while the pandemic has been felt across the entire Australian economy, that some sectors have been more adversely affected than others. This led to their decision to stagger the increases so the industries hit hardest by Covid-19 would not have to apply the increases until February 2020.
Those industries less affected by the pandemic including healthcare, education, childcare and other essential workers will receive the 1.75% increase from 1st July 2020.
The second round of increases will come into effect in November 2020 and will include industries such as construction, manufacturing and a range of other industries.
For those working in industries most adversely affected by the pandemic the increases have been delayed and will not come into effect until February 2021. Industries in this category include accommodation and food services, arts and recreational services, retail and tourism.
What do employers need to do?
Employers must ensure that they are continuing to pay employees at the correct rate and implement the necessary wage increases at the appropriate time.
Even if employers are paying above award payments, they should check wage arrangements to ensure they are high enough to cover the minimum wage increase.
Please contact your Accru Melbourne representative on (03) 9835 8200 to assist with any of the above points.
