PUBLISHED IN THE PG CITIZEN ON JANUARY 7, 2014
Parking scofflaws will have a little more breathing room after council directed staff to rejig their towing procedure.
Among the updated provisions in the document for on- and off-street parking offenses, staff had set out a direction for vehicles to be towed if they already have one outstanding unpaid parking ticket.
During Monday night’s meeting, members of council felt the regulation was too strict.
“The crux of the matter I have… I think after one ticket and then towing is a little excessive,” said Coun. Cameron Stolz, who presented a successful amendment to the procedure to have that limit raised to two outstanding tickets.“We certainly need a mechanism to enhance compliance,” said Coun. Murry Krause, who agreed the one-strike limit was too strict. “I don’t think anything is going to ensure it.”
Public safety and civic facilities director Rob Whitwham also clarified that vehicles would have to be in violation of the parking bylaw again before they could be towed, regardless of how many tickets were outstanding – meaning legally parked vehicles wouldn’t be towed, even if they were attached to unpaid tickets.
Parking tickets are payable upon receipt, said Whitwham, but the amount of time before a vehicle could be identified as having an outstanding ticket would depend on what licence plate recognition system the city eventually procures.
“We won’t be towing for an outstanding or unpaid ticket received during the interval between the time the ticket actually enters the system and the owner is actually notified of that ticket through the normal course,” he said.
Coun. Lyn Hall questioned whether or not the city could collect the unpaid parking fines in conjunction with vehicles being released from impound, but was told the current provincial legislation didn’t allow for it.
According to Whitwham, that means vehicle owners can pay the associated towing and impound fees as well as the $50 administrative charge remitted to the city, but not the initial fine.
“I’m primarily interested in collecting our money,” said Hall, who noted parking violators could continue to brush off their parking tickets and just keep paying the towing charges.
“It would be a rather, I would think, expensive proposition, much more than paying the tickets,” said Whitwham. “But I guess if somebody found that a convenient way to buy on-street parking, they could do so.”
During the conversations held last year about the challenges with on-street parking, administration heard loud and clear that enforcement was an issue, said mayor Shari Green.
“People have been receiving tickets and they’re not getting paid. And if they know their vehicle might not be there next time, there might be more incentive for them to pay the parking ticket instead of the hassle and inconvenience of tow…,” Green said. “And if you’re towing them, it’s because they’ve already got a previous ticket. So there’s definitely some behaviour change that needs to happen.”
Coun. Albert Koehler voted against changing the limit to two tickets, given there could be drivers with one ticket outstanding for long periods of time.

Reverse osmosis technology is currently the highest of all water production technologies mastered by mankind, through reverse osmosis components to improve the purity of water, cleanliness of almost 100%, to remove impurities and salt contained in the water.
In the selection of reverse osmosis equipment, we are mainly concerned with two indicators: the desalination rate and the recovery rate, the former determines the quality of the water produced and the latter determines the utilisation rate of the water.
Standard desalination rate, actual desalination rate and system desalination rate of membrane elements
The standard desalination rate of membrane elements is the desalination rate measured by the membrane element manufacturer under standard conditions, e.g. CPA2 has a minimum desalination rate of 99.2% (average desalination rate of 99.5%) and CPA3 has a minimum desalination rate of 99.6% (average desalination rate of 99.7%) under standard conditions.
The actual desalination rate of a membrane element is the rate of desalination exhibited by the membrane element in actual use. The actual desalination rate is sometimes higher than the standard desalination rate, but more often than not it is lower than the standard desalination rate, due to the fact that the standard test conditions are completely different from the actual conditions of use. Under standard test conditions, where the standard test solution is a sodium chloride solution, the standard desalination rate of the membrane element is expressed as the rate of removal of sodium chloride. In actual use conditions, due to the different ionic composition of the water, the temperature, average water flux selection value, system recovery rate, etc. are different from the standard test conditions, and all these factors will affect the desalination rate of the membrane element.
The system desalination rate is the desalination rate of the complete reverse osmosis unit, also due to the use of conditions different from the standard conditions, the system desalination rate is different from the standard desalination rate, and because reverse osmosis units are generally connected in series with multiple membrane elements, and the actual conditions of use of each membrane element in the unit are different, so the system desalination rate is also different from the actual desalination rate of the membrane elements, for only one membrane element unit, the system desalination rate is equal to the actual desalination rate of the membrane elements.
The easiest way to predict system desalination rates is to carry out actual calculations using the membrane element manufacturer's calculation software.
After understanding the relationship between the standard desalination rate of the membrane element, the actual desalination rate and the system desalination rate, it is important to design the reverse osmosis plant, provide the user with a system performance guarantee, accept the reverse osmosis plant or evaluate the performance of the membrane element based on the actual desalination rate of the system and not on the standard desalination rate of the membrane element.
How to calculate the system desalination rate
System desalination rate = (total feed water salinity - total produced water salinity) / total feed water salinity x 100%
Sometimes, for convenience reasons, the following formula can also be used to approximate the system desalination rate.
System desalination rate = (total feed water conductivity - total produced water conductivity) / total feed water conductivity x 100%
This approximate estimate of the system desalination rate is often lower than the actual system desalination rate, and therefore often causes controversy when accepting reverse osmosis systems.

Seun Kuti, the youngest son of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, has been detained by the Lagos State Police Command for assaulting a policeman on duty in Lagos on Saturday. The incident was captured in a viral video, which showed Kuti pushing and slapping the policeman. Kuti turned himself in on Monday and was accompanied by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a lawyer from Falana and Falana Chambers. The police confirmed that Kuti would be arraigned once the investigation is concluded. Kuti has alleged that the policeman made an attempt on his life and those of his family members. However, he later apologised to the policeman and offered him N12,000 to repair his damaged vehicle.
The Police Service Commission has issued a statement demanding the prosecution of Kuti to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to toe the same path. Meanwhile, Kuti’s lawyer has criticised the police for allegedly subjecting his client to a media trial. The lawyer complained that Kuti was handcuffed and his photograph taken in the open by the Lagos PPRO, who coordinated the parade and apparently shared the photograph of his parade in the media. Kuti is presumed innocent until the contrary is proved by the state. Therefore, the decision of the police to subject him to the media parade violates Section 9 of the Lagos State Administration of Criminal Justice Law, which has prohibited any form of parade of criminal suspects in Nigeria in Lagos State.
The incident has generated condemnation on social media, and the Inspector-General of Police has ordered Kuti’s arrest. Kuti’s case highlights the need for the police to respect the law they exist to enforce and not subject suspects to media trials. It also underscores the importance of peaceful resolution of conflicts between the police and citizens. The incident is a reminder that everyone, including celebrities, must respect the law and the rights of others.

(August 27, 2019) Jim Allen, Sacramento, CA … The 60th Anniversary King of the West by NARC season comes full circle when the 410 winged sprint cars return to Calistoga Speedway to compete at the Louie Vermeil Classic on Saturday and Sunday, August 31st and September 1st. The sanctioning body, which was started in 1960 by Vermeil in Calistoga’s famous Owl Garage, will join the non-wing USAC-CRA sprint cars to provide race fans with the best of all worlds at the historic half-mile located in the picturesque Napa Valley.
The lucrative two-day show features a stout $108,000 purse. The winner of each feature event will earn a $6000 payday. There is also a $2000 bonus for any driver who can win in both a King of the West by NARC winged car and a USAC-CRA non-winged sprint car.
The Calistoga races mark the 15th and 16th stop of the ultra-competitive 19-race King of the West by NARC Fujitsu Racing Series campaign. The series just wrapped up the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports this past weekend, adding two new names to the 2019 winners list (Kyle Larson and Tim Kaeding). That makes nine for the season even though several name brand drivers are still looking for their first score.
Hanford’s DJ Netto leads the high-powered series into Calistoga Speedway as the championship point leader. Even though he has yet to score a victory this year, he has been a remarkably consistent top finisher. The ability to finish in the top ten, even on what can be best described as an “off-night” is the key to winning the 2019 crown. Netto’s current margin over 2017 champ Bud Kaeding of Campbell is only 12-points (1558-1546). Kaeding is a two-time winner this season, including last Friday at the Stockton Dirt Track. Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi, a three-time winner, is another seven points back in third place.
Netto is looking forward to posting another productive weekend of racing on his resume’; this one on the high-testosterone high-speed half mile oval. “I think it’s going to be a great weekend for the Northern Auto Racing Club being back at the Vermeil Classic. It should be one that all race fans should really enjoy.”
“I hope we can run upfront and contend for wins this weekend,” said Netto. “That would represent a great two-days for my team. To have a chance to win at Calistoga, I have to be smooth and turn great laps. Qualifying is huge as well as having a good car.”
Others expected to compete include Rutherford’s Rico Abreu; Ryan Bernal of Hollister; Roseville’s Willie Croft and Colby Copeland; Nathan Rolfe and Sean Watts from Atwater; Chico’s Kenny Allen; Chase Johnson of Penngrove; Grass Valley’s Jason Statler; Sebastopol’s Geoff Ensign; Hanford’s Mithcell Faccinto; Shane Golobic of Elk Grove; Sacramento’s Jenna Frazier and many others.
It should be pointed out that the Louie Vermeil Classic is more than just a couple of races. It’s an entire fun-filled weekend loaded with extracurricular activities. On Friday night at the Napa County fairgrounds, seven new members will be inducted into the prestigious Calistoga Speedway Hall of Fame.
On Saturday, there will be live music at the fairgrounds pavilion, along with wine tasting activities with 25 local vintners and vendors from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. On Sunday, Beer Tasting will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The King of the West by NARC racing program includes qualifying, three eight-lap heat races, a six-lap trophy dash, followed by the 25-lap Fujitsu-sponsored headliner.
The ticket booth and pit gates open both days at noon. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying is set to get underway at 6:00 p.m.
Calistoga Speedway is located at the Napa County Fairgrounds in Calistoga, approximately 25-miles north of Napa on Highway 29. For tickets and additional information, call 916-773-7225.
The King of the West-NARC Fujitsu Racing Series is also sponsored by Hoosier Racing Tires. Associate and contingency award sponsors include ATL Racing Cells, Automotive Racing Products (ARP), Autometer, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions, ButlerBuilt, FK Rod Ends, Hooker Harness, Johnstone Supply, Kaeding Performance Center, KSE Racing Products, Maxim, PAC Racing Springs, Pyrotect, Racing Optics, Safecraft Safety Equipment, Saldana Racing Products, Schoenfeld Headers, SCI Racing Products, Swift Metal Finishing, Sunnyvalley Bacon, System 1 Ignition, Ultra Light Brakes, Weld Racing Wheels, Wilwood Disc Brakes, Williams Roofing, and Winters Performance Products.

This picture shows a picture of a bottle palm, Hyophorbe lagenicaulis, cultivated in the Canary Islands in a 12 cm pot. This palm shows a spectacular root system, just like many of the palm species we ship from Tenerife to your home. When a palm like this gets to your home, it will need to be transplanted to a pot of 17-20 cm . The stronger root system will soon fill the new pot and your palm will quickly jump to a much larger size.
The palms we offer are grown in shade houses, in different areas of Tenerife, where the use of chemicals is kept to a minimum. We enjoy an even subtropical climate with a cool winter but our nurseries are not heated, in order to produce strong hardy plants that can be grown in cooler climates. The only exception are the heated areas for seed sprouting and rooting. Our plants are free from pests and diseases.
We offer more than 120 species of palm trees. Come and check our quality in the Palm Shop.

Caizergues breaks his own record at Luderitz
The 2009 Luderitz Speed event kicked off at the beginning of November, but until last week competitors had been frustrated by an unusually calm speed strip in Namibia. News started to filter through that the winds were picking up and looking good for the weekend and indeed proved to be the case with Alex Caizergues breaking his own kite speed record of 50.57 knots on Saturday, pushing it up to 50.98 knots. American rider Rob Douglas is also showing a clean pair of heels, with a best time of 50.95 knots on Sunday, agonisingly close to Frenchman Caizergues.
WATCH Alex's record breaking run from Saturday here!
The overall aim though for the kiters is the target of 51.36 knots, set by Alain Thebault's trimaran, L'Hydroptere in September.
The event continues in Luderitz throughout November, so keep checking back for more updates, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to get results on-the-go.

I'm in need of some down time today. I've had a huge, productive week outside of my home. This weekend I am trying to balance catching up on household organisation and giving myself a well earned rest.
I've washed dishes, clothes and tried to tidy up a bit. I shopped for some veggies at the farmers market. I've ferried the children that needed pickups from overnight stays.
I've watched the sun break through the clouds as though it was determined to banish them despite the chill wind which blew. The clouds have won and brought more rain and bone seeping temperatures.
That was all the encouragement I need to break out the first batch of mulled wine for the year and pull out the iPad in front of the fire.
200g castor sugar
One cinnamon stick
Six whole cloves
One whole nutmeg
Three fresh bay leaves
Two star anise
Two bottles of red wine (I use cheap wine for occasions like today, good wine for special occasions)
Grate thin slices of the lemon and orange peel straight into a pan. Add the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and grate in some nutmeg. I grated it about twenty times on a fine grater. Juice the orange and add to the pan. Cover the mix with red wine (barely cover it, you don't want to waste your wine). Over medium heat, stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and continue to boil for five minutes without stirring until you have made a syrup.
Add the rest of the two bottles of wine and the star anise. Warm through (not too hot or you'll burn off the alcohol) and enjoy.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Homestore.com shares went through the roof Tuesday after the company said its revenue soared a whopping 280 percent in the third quarter, while it edged out analysts' consensus net loss expectation by a penny.
Homestore.com, which controls a family of real-estate-related Web sites, said its pro forma net loss was $15.4 million, or 23 cents a share, vs. a net loss of $12.3 million, or 28 cents, on a pro forma basis in the year-ago period.
The analysts' consensus estimate, compiled by First Call, projected that the Thousand Oaks, Calif., company would lose 24 cents a share.
Sales in the third quarter reached $18.6 million, a substantial jump from the $4.9 million reported a year earlier.
The company's shares homs gained 3 11/16, or 8.8 percent, to 45 3/4. The quarterly financial report is Homestore.com's first as a publicly traded company.

Tonight, on Fox’s new reality series I Wanna Marry Harry, 12 hot, young, British-history-adverse Americans will compete for the affections of Prince Harry! The catch? This British ginger isn’t really Prince Harry, as anyone with a half-decent monocle can already tell, although we’re told that he does score a 99 percent match with his royal counterpart using facial recognition technology. (Science!) Not to worry, though: In case you forget that Matt Hicks is just an impostor, the show helpfully identifies him as “Matt Hicks, Not Really Prince Harry.” Apparently, it’s all part of some benevolent master plan: “I have to convince them that I’m Prince Harry,” Hicks explains, “but the goal is for them to like me for who I am.” Yes, Your Highness, you deserve to be adored for who you are: a guy who lies about who, exactly, that is.

Tag: Almost Royals (1-2 of 2)
America just can’t get enough of the royals.
BBC America has ordered Almost Royal, the network’s first original comedy series about two young British aristocrats traveling to America for the first time. Ed Gamble and Amy Hoggart will play Georgie and Poppy Carlton respectively, heirs to the Caunty Manor estate in Norfolk, England.
According to the network’s description, Georgie and Poppy, as distant descendants to the British Royal Family, leave their privileged lives behind to allow a camera crew to follow them on their unofficial royal tour of the U.S. — which will also serve to commemorate their late father. The two, who have never done anything for themselves, try to evolve on their journey. Georgie tries to become more “manly” and live up to his Father’s legacy, while Poppy pursues a career of finding fame any way possible.
Almost Royal will “not be a straight sitcom,” according to the network, as it will feature the actors interacting with real Americans who are not actors. And there will likely be some mistaking the lookalike royals for another famous British couple with a crown, though baby George is nowhere in sight.
Almost Royal will premiere Saturday, June 21 at 10 p.m. ET following the Orphan Black season 2 finale.
Almost Royal is produced by Burning Bright Productions and distributed by BBC Worldwide. BBC America’s other comedies include British imports Absolutely Fabulous, Twenty Twelve, The Inbetweeners, The Thick of It and The Office.

Twenty years ago, continuum modeling of crack propagation has seen a turning point through the development of variational approaches based on phase-field formalism. In this framework, a crack is described by an auxiliary field locally inducing the damage of a material which behaves elsewhere as an elastic medium. This field is explicitly involved in the free energy of the system, adjusted to control both its profile close to the damaged zone and the fracture energy.
Numerically, the phase-field approach allows the straightforward coupling of crack propagation to other phenomenon such as the formation of solid precipitates for which comparable mathematical models have already been developed. It therefore paves the way for multi-physics modeling that is also needed to describe material behaviors more exhaustively.
However for cracks, the introduction of an additional field raises difficulties related to its coupling with the displacement field. This is because this field is the fundamental degree of freedom in which, theoretically, the physical non-linearities related to the onset of fracturing would have to be based on.
The purpose of this work is to develop a new variational model of crack propagation which would only be based on displacement fields and the formulation of a suitable elastic energy (Landau theory). The proposed model will be numerically implemented and compared to classical phase-field approaches. It should be used in studies involving the damage of nickel-base superalloys.

Scientists offered more evidence Wednesday that the coronavirus is spread by seemingly healthy people who show no clear symptoms, and the federal government issued new guidance warning that anyone exposed to the disease can be considered a carrier.
A study by researchers in Singapore became the latest to estimate that somewhere around 10 per cent of new infections may be sparked by people who carry the virus but have not yet suffered its flu-like symptoms.
In response to that study and others, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed how it defined the risk of infection for Americans. The agency’s new guidance targeted people who have no symptoms but were exposed to others with known or suspected infections. It essentially says that anyone may be a carrier, whether that person has symptoms or not.
The findings complicate efforts to gain control of the pandemic and reinforce the importance of social distancing and other measures designed to stop the spread, experts said.

“You have to really be proactive about reducing contacts between people who seem perfectly healthy,” said Lauren Ancel Meyers, a University of Texas at Austin researcher who has studied coronavirus transmission in different countries.
The newest research was published online by the CDC. It focused on 243 cases of coronavirus reported in Singapore from mid-January through mid-March, including 157 infections among people who had not traveled recently. Scientists found that so-called pre-symptomatic people triggered infections in seven different clusters of disease,

Doll Quilt Set
Quilt measures 22.50" long by 18.50" wide
Pillow measures 7.50" wide by 4.25" high
I used I believe 18 different fabrics for the center of the quilt, 1 fabric to border the quilt & 1 fabric for the outside trim on the quilt. The back has a coffee with cream colored muslin. The center of the quilt has warm & natural cotton batting. This quilt was made the same way a bed quilt would be made only in a much smaller version.
The colors: black, cream, tan, brown, rust, red, purple, eggplant, gold, yellow, uniform blue, blue green, lavender, pea green, grass green, sage, evergreen and I'm sure a few more.
The quilt reminds me of fall or bohemian decor. Very colorful and fun. No less quality than any other quilt.

I believe music education is vitally important as it teaches one of the most important skills of childhood…confidence. But it’s not the egotistical, brash arrogance posing as confidence that is plaguing our society.
Rather, we parents want our kids to be a clear channel for intuition and spirit developed by learning the laws of the Universe so perfectly exemplified in music.
We are all vibrating, resonating beings. Let’s lift ourselves by resonating with the highest vibrations!
This Saturday, June 10, 2017, we will host our Spring concerts at the Park Slope Library on 9th Street and 6th Avenue.
We have an 11am show and a 2pm show in the lower level auditorium. Free and open to the public. Come check out what your kids and neighbors have been working on for the last few months.
We have a diverse and eclectic music program including everything from Bach to Beethoven, Folk Songs to Lady Gaga, classic rock to the blues, original compositions and songs and, of course, music from Disney’s Moana.
If you are interested in piano, guitar, strumstick, ukelele, voice, songwriting and music theory lessons this summer, there are still slots available. The summer lesson schedule runs 6 weeks from July 9 through August 16 Monday through Thursdays. There are morning and afternoon sessions. Lessons are $60 each or $330 for the full 6 weeks.
This is from a concert at Madison Square Garden in 1972. Essential listening for anyone!
I’m starting a songwriting class in September and we’ll be analyzing some of the greatest rock, pop, jazz songs of all time as part of the curriculum. Stay tuned or get on my waiting list on the registration page.

Henry James, Emmanuel Levinas, and the ethics of literature
This study constitutes an attempt to isolate and elucidate the event of personal relations in the later writings of Henry James. I argue that James' singularity rests on his treatment of personal relations in a radical and unfamiliar way. The main goal of this piece is, then, to trace the workings of personal relations, and to understand the peculiar way in which they figure and unfold in the later narratives. By reading James through the ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, I wish to reconstruct James' major phase as primarily "ethical." Levinasian ethics differs from the branches of moral philosophy in its insistence on the absolute priority and exteriority of the ethical relation between persons: its disengagement from the realms of psychology and consciousness. The ethical relation is envisioned as flourishing precisely in the absence of cognition and thought. Rather than relating to one another as potentially knowable beings, then, persons in James and Levinas relate to one another as mutually unfathomable others. I maintain that this breaching of cognition and knowledge essentially characterizes Jamesian sociality. Read through ethics, as divorced from ideas of consciousness, James' major phase finds its meaning outside the traditional reign of James studies, which takes James as the master of complex elaborations on modes of consciousness. Not consciousness but alterity is James' defining feature, and it is through the readings of alterity that the fundamental event of Jamesian sociality emerges as both primary and unique. "Ethics" thus opens up a new horizon in which the Jamesian is no longer synonymous with consciousness, a horizon which transforms the understanding, not only of James in particular, but of literature in general.

At least 50 percent of puzzles is very easy. Then a big chunk of medium difficulty and only small amount is really difficult to "extreme". Not what I thought I'd get from a paid app. Would be 4 or 5 stars if more levels would be challenging.

Holidays are a time of pleasure and discovery, and local cuisine is often a key part of the experience . But how to enjoy culinary delights without gaining weight ? Don't worry, we have the solution! In this article, we'll reveal some secrets to savoring local specialties guilt-free .
The key is in the right balance
Indulging in local delicacies is an integral part of any travel experience. The important thing is to find the right balance between richer meals and lighter and healthier ones. Start with a nutritious and controlled breakfast, to make way for a more delicious dinner. For example, a great breakfast could be a fresh fruit smoothie with Greek yoghurt and whole grains, to start the day with energy and flavour!
Beware of quantity: ask for smaller portions
If the local custom calls for large portions, try asking for smaller portions or sharing dishes with a travel companion. This way, you can savor the local cuisine without overdoing the calories. For example, you can split a delicious portion of fresh pasta with seafood, pairing it with a fresh seasonal salad to balance out the flavours.
Choose healthy culinary specialties
Each place has its culinary specialties , some of which are even healthy . Try to discover the local dishes based on grilled fish , delicious and rich in omega-3 proteins beneficial for heart health. Grilled vegetables , such as courgettes, peppers or aubergines, are pleasantly aromatic and rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Alternatively, you can opt for typical lean meat dishes , such as roast lamb or chicken, seasoned with local spices to enhance the flavours. If in the place where you are they usually use seasoning sauces , ask for them to be brought to you on the side. In this way, you can dose them as you like and avoid exaggerating with the sauce, keeping the dish lighter and tastier.
Choose fresh and local foods
Take advantage of the freshness and goodness of local foods . Local markets and typical restaurants often offer fresh and seasonal products , which are a better choice than highly processed foods. You don't have to completely give up on culinary pleasures, you can always indulge in some goodies, but in moderation . For example, you can enjoy a cup of homemade fresh fruit ice cream, a real summer treat that will give you an explosion of genuine flavours. Or, opt for a slice of homemade cake made with fresh fruit, perhaps accompanied by a freshly squeezed citrus juice, for a light and tasty breakfast. Additionally, many places offer traditional desserts made with dried fruit or honey , which are a lighter choice than high-sugar, buttery desserts.
Hydrate yourself by drinking lots of water
While on vacation, remember to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water , especially during hot days. Avoid alcoholic beverages which can increase your calorie intake . Opt instead for fruit-based non-alcoholic cocktails , or the more classic ones such as the mojito in the alcohol-free version, which will allow you to enjoy a drink in company without the negative effects of alcohol.
Don't neglect physical activity
Take advantage of opportunities to exercise during your trip. Walk to explore the place, along the beach or in the mountains, swim in the sea or in the pool, participate in excursions or other local activities. Movement will help burn calories and keep you active, helping to balance culinary pleasures.
The secret of the salad before the meal
Before lunch or dinner eat a mixed salad of local vegetables dressed with extra virgin olive oil , lemon and a pinch of sea salt. The crunchy and fragrant vegetables will make you feel satisfied and light at the same time. The salad before the meal provides nutrients and hydration, thanks to the fiber and water content, and helps to achieve a feeling of satiety , reducing the risk of excesses during the main meal.
Remember, the secret to enjoying local delicacies guilt-free is moderation and conscious choice. Savor the authentic flavors of local dishes and make the journey a delicious experience for your palate, maintaining a balance between taste and well-being .
Happy gastronomic journey !

text: An immunohistochemical evaluation for folate receptor-α (FRA) was undertaken to evaluate expression in gynecologic malignancies involving ovary, endometrium, and the fallopian tube. Commercial tissue microarrays were assessed using an optimized manual immunohistochemical method using MAb 26B3, a newly described monoclonal antibody. A positive result was defined as ≥5% of the sample demonstrating membranous staining. A semiquantitative staining algorithm, defined as the M-score, was used to analyze staining intensity between sample histotypes. MAb 26B3 showed uniform membranous staining and high levels of expression of FRA in ovarian, fallopian tube, and endometrial cancers. All serous ovarian cancers analyzed (70) were positive for FRA expression and no relationship to stage or grade was found. However, a significant difference for FRA expression, between serous and mucinous ovarian carcinomas, was demonstrated (P=0.014). In addition, approximately 90% of all endometrial adenocarcinomas were positive for FRA expression but, unlike ovarian serous carcinomas, a statistically significant relationship to grade was observed (P=0.0029). Although normal ovary is completely devoid of FRA immunoreactivity, normal fallopian tube and cortical serous/tubal inclusion cysts demonstrated uniform and intense FRA staining of columnar epithelium supporting the hypothesis that serous ovarian carcinoma is similar to the tubal epithelium. The data presented further support the hypothesis that FRA expression in gynecologic tumors is due to the cell of origin normally expressing this receptor. This is possibly due to an associated growth advantage, rather than the process of tumorigenesis resulting in aberrant expression of FRA per se.

A Drop In The Ocean
A Drop In The Ocean
A drop of water counts in an ocean. water- a basic necessity of every human or living being. 2/3rd of the human body is just made up of water. and we all know 72% of earth's surface is covered by water out of which only 3% is freshwater & also out of which just 0.03% can be consumed by humans. we just can't survive without water- it's just as important as oxygen is to body. water is used for many purposes- drinking,cleaning, washing clothes & utensils, agriculture, watering the plants, cooking etc etc. people living in desert or dry areas yearn for water. finding enough water can be perceived as magic by them.
I swear you are blessed if you've 24/7 access to clean drinking water at your home. without water, nothing feels good, life feels lifeless, low efficiency at tasks is felt, we just want a drop of water. I live in a building with 24/7 access to water. 1 day suddenly, without us knowing, that day supply of water was stopped. we came to know at night, that government had stopped the water supply in my area & surrounding areas for pipeline repair- yes the main pipeline had burst due to construction work of a nearby building& this had led to the loss of lakhs & lakhs liters of water. those 3 days were tough for us all, tankers weren't available, & if they were at all, then they were unaffordable, I know how boring & disgusting those 3 days were without water. having the habit of 24/7 access to water & suddenly having no water at all was a big big problem. those 3 days I realized the importance of water very well. there were literally conflicts over water in buildings & slums, people fought & hared each other. this is a common reality in many water shortage areas of India. but when everything was back to normal, again the same practice of unnecessarily wasting water began. rich families waste 2 buckets of water each day just to clean their balconies. tell me who cleans a balcony that too every day? imagine those 2 buckets of water could have quenched the thirst of families suffering from water shortage each day.
water purifies your skin, drink water if you feel throat irritation, wash this wash that, & now wash your hands to fight coronavirus- everything of us revolves around water & ends on it. but many researchers say that after some years we all will suffer from water shortage or water will disappear from the earth. so please now is the only time left to conserve water as much as possible. let's stop daily cleaning the balconies, while brushind don't let the tap be on for continuous 3 minutes, use bucket for bathing rather than a shower, use minimum water. the change starts within the home, so let's do it & be a responsible citizen. I think the government must stop water supply at least once a month for 2 days so that people keep realising importance of water time-to-time. just as we need water, plants, animals & birds need it too. But for us, our industrial activities, waste everything gets dumped in water bodies, contaminating them. and this harms the living things & aquatic life. cholera, typhoid, diarrhea are all results of dirty water use. save water, save a life- of yours & your family & country at large!
Lastly be thankful to God for giving you water, the most precious form of life!!

Atlanta has experienced rapid economic and population growth over the last several decades. The city was formed in the tumultuous period of forced removal of Natives across the SE, including the Muscogee Creek and Cherokee peoples whose homelands the city occupies. An epicenter of the 20th century Civil Rights Movement, the city has become internationally recognized as a Black cultural hub. The only major Southeastern city emerging from the Civil war with its infrastructure intact, this crossroads city serves as a regional economic beacon.
However, growth has been highly unequal. Mirroring legacies of urban renewal, ambitious plans for urban expansion, redevelopment, and redesign, have not benefited many families, who instead face significant risks of housing displacement. Increasing climate hazards of floods, droughts, and heatwaves further threaten marginalized communities.
Green Infrastructure in Atlanta
GI planning in Atlanta encompasses stormwater management and planning for landscape connectivity in the context of large-scale urban development. Examples include the large number of regulatory plans implementing stormwater-focused GI in specific subbasins, the Atlanta Comprehensive and Resilience plans utilizing landscape and integrative concepts of GI, and the Atlanta Beltway plan which refers to GI but does not define it.
Plans utilizing landscape GI concepts focus on larger landscape elements (e.g. parks, the urban tree canopy, and trail networks) while stormwater-focused plans, including those using integrative concepts, focus more on hybrid facilities and green materials.
Functionally, plans use GI to manage urban hydrology, though some plans utilizing landscape concepts see it as a tool for supplying transportation and thermal regulation services.
Mirroring this functional focus, most benefits associated with GI relate to improved environmental conditions (largely water quality). However, stormwater-focused plans emphasize the reduced costs of infrastructure services, increasing property values, and a number of other economic and social benefits.
Atlanta has embraced an equity lens in its current Strategic GI Plan and Comprehensive Plan updates and has recognized the need to address gentrification within green urban redevelopment projects. However, mechanisms to do so remain under development. Opportunities exist to better integrate city-wide greening efforts, green stormwater infrastructure programs, and housing justice concerns.
Explicitly refer to equity, 100% have equity implications
attempt to integrate landscape and stormwater concepts
seek to address climate and other hazards
apply a lens of universal good to GI
explicitly refer to justice
claim engagement with affected communities in planning
recognize that some people are more vulnerable than others
mention Native peoples or relationships with land
Atlanta through Maps
The City of Atlanta sits within a large metropolitan region characterized by a network of densely developed areas overlain by sharp lines of residential segregation. Stark differences in incomes, population density, vacancy rates, rent burden, and forest cover can be seen between the Southern and Eastern portions of the city as compared to the more densely populated Downtown and more affluent Northern Suburbs.
How does Atlanta account for Equity in GI Planning?
Overall, no Atlanta plans cover all 10 of our equity dimensions despite addressing at least some equity concerns. In a few key areas, they represent current best practices across our study cities, namely in understanding the contextual value of GI and the hazards that GI-related redevelopment poses.
There is a promising trend in the most current plans to center equity concerns. However, most plans don’t define equity or address justice. A major need exists for procedures to involve communities in the evaluation of existing planning efforts.
No plans besides the GI Strategic Action Plan define equity. The most complete framings of equity are found in the Comp and Resilience plans, which include the idea of building intergenerational wealth as a way to move Atlanta out of the top 10 most income unequal cities. Mentions of justice are rare, and while acknowledging historical struggles, they largely do not acknowledge their continuation in the present or the capacity of city agencies and government to address them. Overall, framings revolve around using GI to provide universal benefits for all Atlantans.
With few exceptions, many of the mechanisms for community inclusion remain unspecified, and there are extremely limited avenues for affected communities to evaluate planned outcomes. For example, while Atlanta’s updated Comprehensive Plan sought community input, participation in design and implementation is largely limited to public agencies. While the Comp plan is the only plan that specifies mechanisms for community evaluation, means to do so remain limited, namely, a livability index and the Department of Parks and Recreation ongoing needs assessments. The Resilience strategy sought extensive public input through a number of avenues, representing one of the more inclusive planning processes we examined. However, the plan does not demonstrate how this engagement included all of Atlanta’s diverse communities.
All Atlanta plans use GI to reduce urban hazards and add value to the urban landscape. The dominant concerns around equity in the GI strategic plan revolve around historical and ongoing uneven distributions of flooding hazards and green redevelopment’s association with gentrification. Plans acknowledge the risks of gentrification associated with urban redevelopment projects catalyzed by large public investments in GI, in particular around parks. Both the Comp plan and GI Action Plan acknowledge the added need for labor to maintain GI, and many stormwater plans actively seek volunteer labor from communities where GI is implemented but do not discuss compensation. The resilience plan acknowledges the need for increasing access of marginalized communities to higher-value labor to build community wealth but does not specify any mechanisms to do so through GI.
Recommendations for Stakeholders
Atlanta has numerous opportunities for improving equity in its GI planning and programs. As the city continues to grow in population and economic activity, a core issue is who benefits and who pays for ongoing redevelopment projects. Like many redeveloping cities, new forms of decision-making are likely required to guide investments in public services, infrastructure, and housing that benefit current residents without displacing them. Like many other cities we examined, Atlanta struggles with implementing creative drainage solutions to meet regulatory requirements while meeting other interdependent social, environmental, and infrastructural objectives in the context of extreme income and housing inequality. To that end, we provide concrete recommendations for communities, city policy makers, and non-government entities involved in Green Infrastructure in Atlanta.
Atlanta has numerous communities that have long fought for their right to thrive within the city, and unfortunately current plans only rarely discuss their ongoing struggles. Some headway has been made with community-based planning practices that sought to create binding visions for neighborhood planning and guiding city investments in public infrastructure, as evidenced within the Proctor Creek and Sugar and Intrenchment creek WIPS (which reference community-led visions from plans not authored by city agencies).
1. The Need for Substantive and Transparent Community Engagement
Current planning practices in Atlanta have almost no mechanisms for community-based evaluation of the implementation of GI plans aside from Parks and Recreation needs assessments. However, the current administration has centered equity concerns within the current GI plan, and this may present an opportunity for community groups to demand such mechanisms, alongside the creation of mechanisms for preventing housing displacement from urban redevelopment projects and GI programs.
2. Reclaiming the Value of GI = Reclaiming the Value Of Urban Land
Communities must continue to find alternative means of owning and valuing land outside of the speculative real estate market; in other cities, these have taken the forms of limited equity housing co-ops, and a national conversation around public banking and the right to housing. Such mechanisms may require a deep restructuring of city budgets and revenue generation mechanisms, as well as approaches to build community wealth that are not solely based on property value.
3. Building Community Cohesion Through Community Organizing
Strong internal community organizing forms the foundation of strong community-led planning. Community groups must continue to organize around their collective interest and should be supported by city agencies and NGOs. However, when partnering with NGOs, CDCs, and city agencies, strong community organizing will be required so external influences and funding do not cause or exacerbate divisions within the community.
Policy Makers and Planners
A diverse array of city agencies and government entities are involved in GI planning in Atlanta and the GI Strategic Plan has a welcome focus on equity issues. However, the Atlanta plans at large are contradictory about what GI is and what it does and contain limited processes for public engagement and participation from planning through evaluation.
1. Rooting GI in the urban landscape for community needs
Planners and policy makers should acknowledge that the GI concept must integrate a diverse array of private and public green spaces. While current plans focus on stormwater and flooding, other emergent approaches seek to create functional alternative transit networks, including pedestrian, bicycle, light electric vehicle, and environmentally friendly mass transit. These linkages should be more clearly identified and strengthened to provide a more sound social, environmental, and infrastructural basis for integrative planning efforts.
2. From Words to Action
Planners and policy makers need to move beyond discussing equity concerns in plans and move towards creating binding statutory and regulatory mechanisms for community inclusion in plan formulation and evaluation. These include specific mechanisms for community inclusion in shaping city policies prioritizing building property value over community incomes. Existing processes for community inclusion (as in the GI Strategic Plan and Resilience Plans) must become more transparent of what demographics in the city participated in plan creation.
3. Clarifying Definitions and Making them Count
One cannot plan for and cannot measure what one has not defined. Policy makers and planners must draw on strong public engagement mechanisms to articulate robust definitions of equity that can become encoded in city policies and plans.
Foundations and Funders
Foundations and funders in Atlanta have contributed to community-engaged planning processes dealing with Green Infrastructure. However, these plans are not binding upon city agencies. While policy makers and planners should build in such mechanisms, funders can support community organizing which forms the foundation of effective and just urban environmental governance.
1. Support Intersectional Organizing
Dedicated funding for community organizing around environmental, housing, and social justice needs to support existing community-led initiatives to address those intersectional challenges. Like many other cities, open forums to discuss and strategize around these intersecting issues are lacking. Creating new mechanisms to facilitate collaboration and joint planning between disparate groups is necessary.
2. From the Grassroots to City Hall
Community-based initiatives need to find concrete avenues for translating into binding mechanisms for city agencies when enacting and evaluating programs. Community-led plans without follow-through can undermine public appetite for engagement in future planning efforts, and yet, planning is required to address intersecting challenges around urban stormwater, flooding, and housing. So while many of the most disaffected communities may abandon planning processes, theirs are the voices most needed to formulate alternative visions and futures in city plans. Funders should prioritize efforts that support organizing on the frontlines of displacement and climate hazards and seek to create lasting structural and institutional change.
3. Rethinking and Remaking Urban Form
Foundations and funders should also collaborate with communities and city agencies for a larger scale rethink around the functions and benefits of GI. For example, it may be necessary to eliminate further development within flood-prone areas and build more affordable housing outside of hazard-prone areas rather than facilitating redevelopment with GI. Larger scale analyses of runoff, social and environmental inequality, and housing needs may yield insight into how other parts of the city can be redeveloped to improve economic and housing justice while making space for nature and improving climate resilience.
Planning for equity in Green Infrastructure requires a deep rethinking and restructuring of urban governance to build wealth and value for communities while reshaping the city to be more socially just and environmentally resilient. GI, like other public realm investments, has long-term impacts on the quality of the built environment, and with appropriate social decision-making processes, can provide valuable public services for generations to come. Atlanta has opportunities to address its long-standing inequalities in wealth and exposure to environmental hazards, but these opportunities require changing the status quo around redevelopment.


Toulouse Métropole are now second in the LFB with Bourges Basket and Perpignan after beating Nantes-Rezé (67-62). In the other Sunday games Villeneuve d'Ascq won against Hainaut Basket in the north derby while Tarbes defeated Charleville-Mézières.
In the game between the bottom two clubs in the regular season standings Villeneuve d'Ascq won the hotly contested north derby against Hainaut Basket (72-68).
Lenae Williams exploded for the first time this season on the court with 27 points for winners. She hit 8-from-17 points from beyond the arc. Yet the match winner for the hosts was Emma Meesseman with her defensive qualities.
Meesseman was also cool from the charity stripe during the final seconds that secured the victory. She finished with 17 points (7-of-7 from the free-throw line), 3 blocks and 7 rebounds.
Hainaut Basket had their chances to win the game with their dominance in the paint and a balanced offensive scoring with four players in double digits: Emilie Silbande (13), Ashley Houts (14), Marie-Frédérique Ayissi (10) and Stefanie Murphy (12).
However a couple of poor executions during the last couple of minutes turned out to be fatal.
Sheana Mosch was at home in the USA on Friday when she received confirmation about her clearance to finally play for Charleville-Mézières.
Although Charleville-Mézières were beaten at home (58-62) by Tarbes, Mosch had some of the best moments in the game, marking her début with 15 points.
While her two-point quarter-ending buzzer beater at half time gave the fans something to cheer about, it was a two-pointer with 58 seconds left to play that gave everybody hope (58-58).
As for the game itself Kim Smith scored 11 first-quarter points as she single-handedly put Tarbes in front (12-8). Tarbes did not control the second quarter but still went into the interval leading (28-25).
Smith regained her scoring touch during the third quarter with her side opening up a 14-point lead going into the final quarter.
Charleville-Mézières rallied back in the final quarter with Mosch and Ekaterina Dimitrova to then draw level with 58 seconds to play. Tarbes played smart in the last few seconds. 2 baskets by Naura El Gargati sealed the victory.
Toulouse Métropole won their 7th game of the season with a road win against Nantes-Rezé (67-62). While the three-point shooting was off with just 1-from-14, they were strong collectively in offence.
The shared 12 assists and Adrijana Knezevic, Carrem Gay (in picture), Demetress Adams and Agathe Degorces shared 12 assists while scoring 14, 13, 12 and 10 points respectively.
Nantes-Rezé dropped their first home game of the season while suffering their third consecutive defeat. Their mid-week travel to Russia appeared to have snapped them of some energy as they were out of step for most of the game.
Although Marielle Amant scored 18 points and Claire Stievenard fired in 3 three-pointers, overall Nantes-Reze did not have a good shooting day.
So after 10 weeks of LFB action Montpellier are 2 games clear of Bourges Basket, Perpignan Basket and Toulouse Métropole in joint second place.
Round 10 LFB results:
Lyon BF 81-55 Perpignan Basket
Basket Landes 69-84 USO Mondeville
Lattes Montpellier 76-51 Bourges Basket
Aix-en-Provence 73-66 Arras
Charleville-Mézières 58-62 Tarbes
Nantes-Rezé 62-67 Toulouse Métropole
Villeneuve d'Ascq 72-68 Hainaut Basket

“INS Kalvari is a great example of ‘ Make in India ‘. I would like to congratulate everyone associated with this submarine,” PM Modi said. PM Modi also thanked France for its co-operation
In Mumbai PM Modi has commissioned scorpene-class submarine INS Kalvari into the Indian Navy. INS Kalvari has been named after the maritime force’s first-ever underwater craft.
The commissioning ceremony was attended by Prime Minster Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba, Maharasahtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, other senior Indian Navy officers, and delegates from France.
The Scorpenes are being built by the Mazagaon Dockyard Ltd under Project 75 with transfer of technology from a foreign collaborator — DCNS of France.
INS Kalvari : Proud Moment for Indian Navy and Entire Country
It is a proud moment for the the entire country as the submarine is a prime example of flagship program of PM Modi government’s ‘ Make in India ‘ project. The special combat features of the Scorpenes include superior stealth and ability to launch crippling attacks with precision-guided weapons. The attacks can easily be carried out with torpedoes while submerged or on the surface, making it a deadly weapon.
Facts about INS Kalvari
- The submarine has a length of 67.5 metre and a height of about 12.3 metres. The hull form, fin and hydroplanes are specifically designed to produce minimum underwater resistance.
- The boat has 360 battery cells, each weighing 750 kg, to power the extremely silent Permanently Magnetised Propulsion Motor. The stealth of the boat is further enhanced through the mounting of equipment inside the pressure hull on shock absorbing cradles.
- This is first of the six Scorpene-class submarines to handed over by MDL. The six submarines are being built as part of the Rs 23,652 crore “Project-75” of the Indian Navy.
“The technology utilised in the Scorpene has ensured superior stealth features such as advanced acoustic silencing techniques, low radiated noise levels, hydro-dynamically optimised shape and the ability to launch a crippling attack on the enemy using precision-guided weapons,” an official of the MDL said.
It is really very positive to see Make in India boosting the defence sector. INS Kalvari will surely add more strength to mighty Indian Navy.
