MONTREAL (AFP) - Police investigated on Tuesday the "senseless mass murder" of six adults and two children in western Canada who were apparently slain by a depressed man who then killed himself.
The killings began late on Monday in the southern part of Edmonton, a city of nearly one million people in Alberta province, where a man shot to death a woman in her 30s then fled, said the city's Police Chief Rod Knecht.
The suspected killer, whose relatives said was suicidal, then headed to a residence in the north of the city, where he killed another seven people - three women, two men, a girl and a boy. The names and ages of the victims and their killer were not immediately released.
Police who were investigating reports of a "suicidal male" had first gone to inspect the second house late on Monday.
After an initial unsuccessful patrol, officers went back, forced their way in and discovered the bodies of the seven victims.
The body of the suspected killer was found early on Tuesday in a Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Saskatchewan, a northeastern suburb of Edmonton, after committing suicide.
A woman told the Edmonton Journal newspaper that she had heard noises outside the restaurant.
She looked and saw several police officers, one of whom yelled through a megaphone for someone in the restaurant to "Come out with your hands up!"
Detectives went on to find a dead man inside and quickly identified him as the suspected killer. He was not identified publicly.
Mr Knecht stressed that the public was not at any risk.
"This series of events are not believed to be random acts," he said at a news conference.
"And these events do not appear to be gang-related, but rather tragic incidents of domestic violence."
Mr Knecht added that "our thoughts go out to the community... with this senseless mass murder."
According to witnesses cited by the Edmonton Journal, the owner of the house where the seven bodies were found in north Edmonton had been having financial difficulties and has a former wife who owns a restaurant in Fort Saskatchewan.
The police chief said it was Edmonton's worst ever mass killing. In 1956, six people were slain in a tragic incident.
Mass killings and gun crime are relatively rare in Canada compared to the neighbouring United States, where gun ownership is much more widespread.

Extreme DurabilityLoadMan operates reliably and requires minimal services despite the weather and harsh conditions.
99% AccuratePrecision electronics that compute payloads with accuracy over 99% for most applications.
Technologies We Use
LoadMan loadcells use a patented technique that measures the weight and bending forces in the exact center of the steel. Other's loadcells cannot. So what does that mean to you? Superior, Consistent, and Repeatable Accuracy.
LoadMan custom designs dump and tactical military truck loadcells to fit the truck – using original truck bed manufacturing specifications. These loadcells are designed and engineered for military vehicles that carry heavy bulk material. Typical applications use two loadcell pins that replace the truck bed hinge pins. Two pressure transducers are placed on the hydraulic lift. Analog signals are transmitted to a LoadCoder™ ( A/D converter), which in turn is connected to the in-cab computer/display for viewing and recording load and dump weights.
The LoadMan dump and aggregate truck hinge pin loadcells are built using 4340 alloy steel plate. After machining, each loadcell is heat treated to RC40 specifications; providing 180,000psi strength. Each loadcell is also Zinc/Nickel plated to resist heavy corrosion from inclement weather and road chemicals.
The pressure transducers are built using 17-4 stainless steel with a pressure capacity to measure over 30,000 lbs (13,607 kg) each.
The dynamic capacity of each loadcell is dependent upon the custom design and weight requirements of the truck, but a typical truck weighing capacity can be as high as 120,000lbs (54,431 kg).

Queen Elizabeth II’s Funeral: All the Sentimental Nods
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle donned pearl earrings in her honor.
On Monday, Sept. 19, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II will be interred at Windsor Castle following a funeral at Westminster Abbey and procession to Wellington Arch. The queen’s coffin was carried to Westminster Abbey via the State Gun Carriage, which was also used for the funerals of King George V, King George VI and Britain’s first prime minister Winston Churchill, per CNN.
King Charles III led the procession on foot, joined by siblings Princess Anne and Princes Andrew and Edward. Princes William and Harry as well as Princess’s Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, followed behind. The music for the funeral was carefully selected to honor several key moments from the queen’s life, including a hymn from her wedding to Prince Philip and her 1953 coronation anthem.
According to NBC News, over 500 foreign dignitaries were accounted for at Westminster Abbey. Among those were President Joe Biden, Britain’s new prime minister, Liz Truss, leaders of the Commonwealth and other world leaders.
However, there were few other famous faces in the audience. TV personality and Chief Scout Bear Grylls as well as Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh were seen walking into the service. The actress sat with the Canadian delegation.
Celebrities aside, everyone is talking about the fashion —specifically, the accessories donned by the women in the royal family.
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, donned the queen’s four-string pearl and diamond choker. This very same necklace was also worn by the late Princess Diana on multiple occasions, Yahoo reported. It was a gift to Queen Elizabeth from Japan in the ‘70s. Kate paired it with the queen’s Bahrain pearl earrings, which Kate also wore at Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021. The drop earrings encrusted with diamonds were a gift from Prince Philip on their wedding day in 1947.
Meghan Markle wore a pair of pearl and diamond drop earrings as well. According to PEOPLE, these earrings were gifted to Meghan by the queen during their first solo outing together back in 2018. This set is meant to be a mini version of the queen’s favorite pair of earrings that she often wore during her reign.
For her part, Princess Charlotte wore a hat with a bow in honor of her great grandmother. The style of hat was one often worn by Her Majesty. This marks the first time Kate and William’s seven-year-old daughter has ever donned the accessory, per PEOPLE. Charlotte was also photographed wearing a small horseshoe brooch, a nod to the queen’s appreciation for horses.
Following the funeral, the Queen takes one final journey through London. The procession will end at Wellington Arch, then proceed to Windsor, passing staff, Armed Forces and the public who’ve gathered to pay their respects. The committal service is set to take place at St. George’s Chapel this afternoon.

While it is too early to tell whether or not Jean Claude Duvalier will appear in court today to face charges for embezzlement and corruption, it is important, whatever the outcome, to highlight that Guatemala’s arduous 14-year struggle to prosecute former military dictator Efrain Rios Montt for crimes against humanity provides an important template for Haiti moving forward.
After Guatemala’s civil war ended in 1996, a National Reconciliation Law (NRL) was enacted which granted amnesty for political crimes committed by both the Guatemalan Armed Forces and the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Union. The hasty establishment of the NRL was seen as a crucial component mandating that both sides lay down their arms, but it also threatened to institutionalize impunity in a nation seeking to rebuild itself after 36 years of civil war.
Following the models of nations seeking to move forward from a history of brutal military governments, like Argentina and El Salvador or apartheid in South Africa, Guatemala organized a Truth Commission to spark the process of national reconciliation. However, many Guatemalan and international human rights organizations argued that neither justice nor reconciliation would be achieved, as the NRL remained foggy as to whether or not those who carried out extra-judicial executions would qualify for amnesty. This lead the New York Times to write at the time that “Guatemala's commission will be allowed to report on who died or disappeared and perhaps under what circumstances, but it will not be allowed to investigate who committed this violence.”
In 1999, the Guatemalan Commission for Historical Clarification released a report titled Guatemala, Memory of Silence which stated that “Although many are aware that Guatemala's armed confrontation caused death and destruction, the gravity of the abuses suffered repeatedly by its people has yet to become part of the institutional consciousness… The massacres that eliminated entire Mayan villages… are neither perfidious allegations nor figments of the imagination, but an authentic chapter in Guatemala's history.” The report found that about 200,000 people—the vast majority of them civilians—were killed or “disappeared” during the war, a number that was much higher than initially thought. Rios Montt’s brief presidency (1982-83) was arguably the most violent period in the civil war, in which thousands of unarmed indigenous civilians were killed.
Despite the initial feelings of helplessness after the passing of the NRL, a law which was looked at as being drafted by and for the military and guerillas, it excluded crimes against humanity which were not subject to any statutes of limitation under international law.
It was with this opening in 1999 that Nobel laureate Rigoberta Menchu and other victims filed a criminal suit in the Spanish National Court against Efraín Ríos Montt and seven other senior Guatemalan officials. Menchu turned to the Spanish National Court on the principle of universal jurisdiction after her efforts in the Guatemalan courts were met with hesitation, delay, and intimidation. Menchu remarked that “The fundamental idea behind justice is to dignify the memory of our deceased. It is to dignify the children, the women, the elders, who were annihilated through genocide, those who were kidnapped, those who were disappeared, those who were tortured.”
Legal motions in Spain staleed progress in the case for several years until 2005, when the Spanish Court ruled to the surprise of many that they would in fact act upon the principles of universal jurisdiction and charge Rios Montt and other senior officials with genocide, terrorism, torture, and illegal detention. The Spanish Court soon after issued arrest warrants in July 2006.
Similar to Duvalier in Haiti, Rios Montt remained connected to the traditional political and economic centers of power in the country—and as such successfully ran for a seat in Congress in 2007, granting him immunity from prosecution until January 14, 2012.
Despite this roadblock—it was a perhaps even blessing in disguise—the organizing by the victims and human rights defenders continued unabated in the face of threats and intimidation. This grassroots effort to prosecute high ranking military officials finally bore fruit in 2011, when General Héctor Mario López Fuentes, the former Minister of Defence was detained for his alleged role in massacres committed in 1982 to 1983.
Once Rios Montt was no longer covered by Congressional immunity in January 2012, he was indicted in a Guatemalan court for committing crimes against humanity. On March 1, 2012, according to the established norms of international law, a Guatemalan judge refused to grant Rios Montt amnesty from the charges of crimes against humanity—leading to the first time that a former head of state would be tried for genocide in their own country. On January 31, 2013, the criminal trial of Rios Montt for crimes against humanity formally began.
Although it is true that the charges against Duvalier are not on the level of genocide—and thus are not comparable in that regard—the Inter American Commission on Human Rights has classified the systematic abuses carried out by Duvalier as crimes against humanity. Through the command of the Ton Ton Macoutes and the Haitian army, Human Rights Watch has reported that Duvalier oversaw the killing and torture of thousands, while hundreds of thousands more fled into exile.
While different in many ways, like Haiti, Guatemala also suffers from a lingering history of deep-rooted racism, significant structural inequality, foreign intervention, deep politicization with limited political participation by the popular classes, and a history of a corrupt judicial system. Despite this, the success of Guatemala in bringing Rios Montt to trial for crimes against humanity highlights that, despite the overwhelming odds at times, justice can prevail.

The Research Support Facility complex (RSF, RSF II, parking garage, and associated site lighting) was designed to produce more on-site renewable energy than it uses over the course of a typical weather year, when accounted for at the site. To date, the end use performance monitoring and verification suggests that when the RSF complex is fully built out, we will meet the annual energy use goals. Continued performance monitoring and occupant education are required to ensure annual energy use goals will continue to be met.
When it comes to achieving significant sustainability gains, an international retail giant has unique opportunities to cut energy use. With a total of 4,500 sites, Walmart’s commitment to efficiency in parking lighting in new construction and retrofits is paying off in major savings.
As a result of its lighting upgrades Walmart received individual Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign awards for a superstore, a neighborhood market and a Sam’s Club. Across 100 stores including both new and retrofitted sites, over 40 million square feet in surfaces for parking and over 100,000 parking spaces, Walmart is saving over 15 million kWh each year as a result of lighting upgrades.
Kimco Realty Corporation’s large facility portfolio could be considered quite challenging to some organizations trying to reduce energy savings, but Kimco was able to provide upgrades to 160 sites across 25 states over 2 years. The 50-year old real estate investment trust based in New Hyde Park, New York was a 2014 Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign winner for Largest Absolute Number of Facility Upgrades. Kimco has reduced their lighting energy usage primarily through the use of lighting controls for their parking lots representing approximately 51
million square feet of parking area. Kimco, which owns and operates over 800 shopping centers in North and South America, can add their LEEP accomplishments to their 2013 National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) award for leadership in sustainability and energy efficiency.
Regency Centers is a national owner, operator, and developer of neighborhood and community shopping centers with over 300 properties throughout the United States. Regency Centers recently upgraded the parking lot lighting at Rona Plaza in Santa Ana, California. Rona Plaza is a grocery-anchored shopping center with 52,000 square-feet of gross lettable area and 250 parking spaces across 77,000 square feet of parking area. Regency Centers retrofitted the existing parking lot and exterior wall mounted fixtures, which were high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures, with high efficiency LED fixtures coupled with a wireless dimming system. The retrofit resulted in energy savings of nearly 88% compared to pre-existing conditions and was recognized by the Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign with the Highest Percentage Energy Savings in a Retrofit at a Single Parking Area award.
This presentation Session II from the RSF Workshop discusses the performance-based design-build process, which was used to procure and construct the Research Support Facility.
This guide presents a set of 15 best practices for owners, designers, and construction teams to reach high-performance goals and maintain a competitive budget. They are based on the recent experiences of the Research Support Facility owner and design-build team, and show that achieving this outcome requires that all key integrated team members understand their opportunities to control capital costs.
Case study about how the U.S. General Services Administration successfully renovated the historic Wayne N. Aspinall Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse. GSA’s goals were to preserve the building’s historic features, and achieve Zero Energy Building status. This case study provides an overview of how reducing plug load energy helped achieve the Zero Energy Building status.
Historic preservation and net zero energy performance may seem like opposing goals. But the modernization of the nearly 100-year-old Aspinall Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse demonstrates that it is possible to restore the former glory of a building's historic features and cut energy use in half. The building is approaching net zero energy and is expected to achieve that goal after controls adjustments and other measures.
The purpose of this handbook is to furnish guidance for planning and conducting a highperformance building charrette, sometimes called a "greening charrette." The handbook answers typical questions such as, "What is a charrette?", "Why conduct a charrette?", "What topics should we cover?", "Whom should we invite?" and "What happens after the charrette?". Owners, design team leaders, site planners, state energy office staff, and others who believe a charrette will benefit their projects will find the handbook helpful.

Nerve blocks for oral surgical procedures in cats provide a complete sodium channel blockade, preventing ascending pain signals that are created during surgical manipulation to reach the cerebral cortex. Because of their high surface area to body ratio, cats are particularly susceptible to hypothermia. Nerve blocks not only provide perioperative analgesia but allow inhalant anesthetic concentrations to be minimized. Doing so maximizes cardiac output, blood pressure, and overall perfusion, resulting in warmer patients.
Bupivacaine is the anesthetic of choice for oral nerve blocks because of its long duration of action (6–10 hours). Its maximum extravascular dose is determined by patient weight; a safe target maximum dose is 2 mg/kg (Table), but this dose is not commonly reached.
Types of Nerve Blocks
Several types of nerve blocks can be used for oral surgery in cats:
Rostral maxillary (infraorbital) blocks affect the entire maxillary arcade on the ipsilateral side, adjacent bone, tooth, soft tissue, hard and soft palatal mucosa, and palatal bone.
Rostral mandibular (mental) blocks affect bone, teeth, and intraoral soft tissue from the mandibular canine to the mandibular symphysis.
Caudal mandibular (inferior alveolar) blocks affect bone, teeth, and intraoral soft tissue from the mandibular molar rostral to the midline.
Care should be taken not to inject a vessel. Extravascular placement can be ensured by aspirating the needle before injection.
In small cats, multiple quadrant blocks may approach or exceed the recommended maximum per patient volume of anesthetic agent. It is important to pay careful attention so as not to exceed the total volume. Cats are more susceptible to lidocaine and bupivacaine toxicity than are dogs.
If the volume of agent is less than 0.1 mL per site based on the calculated maximum dose, saline can be added to the agent to dilute it to a ratio of up to 1:1 without compromising the effectiveness of the block.
Some patients chew and/or macerate their tongue following regional oral nerve blocks. Sternal recumbency can prevent lateral deviation of the tongue between the carnassial teeth where damage can occur. As long as the patient is monitored carefully after surgery until it is sternally recumbent, such damage cannot occur.
Infusion Volume of 0.5% Bupivacaine per Site Based on Patient Weight
|Patient Weight (kg)||Volume Range (mL)|
What You Will Need
25-gauge, 5/8-inch needle
Optional: feline skull to visualize anatomic landmarks
Step-by-Step n Rostral Maxillary (Infraorbital) Nerve Block
To assist with needle placement, visualize the infraorbital foramen that lies a few millimeters dorsal to the apices of the maxillary third premolar. Note that the infraorbital foramen is larger and more dorsal in cats than in dogs.
Author Insight Unlike in most dogs, in cats the neurovascular bundle is not readily palpable. As long as the needle is advanced against the bone starting rostral to the third premolar in a rostral-tocaudal direction, it should enter the canal with no resistance.
Lift the upper lip dorsally, and advance the needle against the bone in a rostral-to-caudal direction, starting rostral to the third premolar (B) and avoiding the thick lip tissue that contains the neurovascular bundle. Aspirate the needle before injection to confirm that no blood enters the needle hub.
Author Insight Because of the shortness of the feline infra orbital canal (A), performingthe rostral maxillary block desensitizes the entire maxillary arcade on the ipsilateral side, adjacent bone, tooth, soft tissue, hard and soft palatal mucosa, and palatal bone. By placing the needle just within the opening of the infraorbital canal, the agent can reach the infraorbital, pterygopalatine, and major and minor palatine nerves.
Author Insight The needle should pass into the canal without meeting bony resistance. Once the needle is placed, applying gentle lateral movement will yield resistance within the canal rather than free movement beneath adjacent alveolar mucosa.
Step-by-Step n Rostral Mandibular (Mental) Nerve Block
To assist with needle placement, visualize the middle mental foramen, which lies halfway between the mandibular canine tooth and third premolar. The middle mental foramen is one-third to one-fourth the distance from the ventral-to-dorsal mandibular body.
Retract the mandibular labial frenulum ventrally, and advance the needle about 15° ventral and caudal to just enter the foramen.
Author Insight Needle advancement into the canal for the rostral mandibular block may be limited by the size of the cat. The author routinely uses the caudal mandibular block (see below) in cats for this reason.
Step-by-Step n Caudal Mandibular (Inferior Alveolar) Nerve Block
To assist with needle placement for this extraoral block, visualize the lingual and ventral mandibular bone 4–6mm rostral to the angular process at the caudal mandible (A and B). An alternative landmark is the lateral canthus of the eye. Dropping an imaginary line directly ventral to the ventral mandible allows similar needle placement.
Direct the needle through the skin toward the lingual aspect of the mandibular body at an angle of 20°–40°. This allows tactile confirmation that the tip contacts the bone; the needle should be resting just ventral to where the inferior alveolar nerve enters the mandibular canal.

The keel for the US Navy’s San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, the future USS Richard M McCool Jr (LPD 29), has been laid during a ceremony at Huntington Ingalls Industries‘ shipbuilding division.
The ceremony was attended by Shana McCool and Kate Oja, the ship’s sponsors and granddaughters of the person the vessel will be named after.
Sponsors etched their initials into the keel plate, marking the beginning of the ship.
Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships LPD 17 class programme manager captain Brian Metcalf said: “The San Antonio-class has proven essential to expeditionary warfighters, and we are excited to bring the 13th and final ship of the Flight I configuration to the fleet.”
LPD 29 is named after US Navy veteran and Medal of Honor recipient captain Richard McCool Jr. It is the US Navy’s 13th San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock vessel.
Fabrication on the ship began in July last year. The vessel will be delivered in 2023.
Ingalls division has so far delivered 11 San Antonio-class ships to the US Navy.
LPD 28 and 29 will serve as transition ships between the current design and future San Antonio-class Flight II vessels.
Last month, HII received a $1.47bn US Navy contract to perform the detail design and construction of LPD 30, the first ship of the Flight II type. Fabrication on this vessel will begin next year.
San Antonio-class ships measure 684ft in length and 105ft in width and have a displacement of around 24,900 long tonnes.
The US Navy will use these vessels to embark and land Marines, their equipment and supplies onshore via air cushion or conventional landing craft and amphibious assault vehicles.
Operations performed by the ships will be supported by helicopters or vertical take-off and landing aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – The closing stretch at Carnoustie has famously ruined many a solid round, so Jordan Spieth’s misadventures on Thursday should not have been a complete surprise, but the truth is the defending champion’s miscues were very much self-inflicted.
Spieth was cruising along at 3 under par, just two shots off the early lead, when he made a combination of errors at the par-4 15th hole. He hit the wrong club off the tee (4-iron) and the wrong club for his approach (6-iron) on his way to a double bogey-6.
“The problem was on the second shot, I should have hit enough club to reach the front of the green, and even if it goes 20 yards over the green, it’s an easy up-and-down,” Spieth said. “I just had a brain fart, and I missed it into the location where the only pot bunker where I could actually get in trouble, and it plugged deep into it. It was a really, really poor decision on the second shot, and that cost me.”
Full-field scores from the 147th Open Championship
Full coverage of the 147th Open Championship
Spieth continued to compound his problems with a sloppy bogey at the 16th hole, and a drive that sailed left at 18 found the Barry Burn en route to a closing bogey and a 1-over 72.
The miscues were more mental, a lack of execution, than they were an example of how difficult the closing stretch at Carnoustie can be, and that’s not good enough for Spieth.
“That’s what I would consider as a significant advantage for me is recognizing where the misses are,” said Spieth, who was tied for 68th when he completed his round. “It felt like a missed opportunity.”

Get a head start on slug season
Slugs are an annual problem for gardeners so getting ahead of the problem at the end of March is a good idea.
Start by creating some homemade slug traps by adding some cheap lager or beer to some shallow containers such as an old food container, ideally at least 50mm deep. Placed in sheltered positions slightly dug in to ground level and filled with cheap lager or beer they will trap any early season slugs and and show you if you have a slug problem. Also providing you with an early indication of a slug problem arriving later in the year.
As the weather warms up and the temperature in the soil rises you can start treatments of slug nematodes which is a small microscopic worm that attacks the slugs. They move around the soil water tracking down the slugs. So it’s important in a dry spring to water your flower beds to make sure the nematodes can move around in the soil.

Now that I’ve had my first shot, I cannot stress enough how grateful I am. I’m grateful to the scientists who made the vaccine, I’m grateful I live in a country where it’s accessible to me. I’m grateful to the people working tirelessly for sixteen hours a day trying to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
I feel like such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel so much less anxious. I feel so thankful. It is such a blessing to be able to be vaccinated.
I’m so thankful to have the added protection.
I’m so thankful that vaccines have been made more accessible in my province this week.
I’m so thankful that so many people appear to be getting them.
Vaccinations are a good thing. For everyone in society. If you have the chance, and it’s something that I highly recommend everyone take the opportunity to do (if you’re able, that’s of course, as I know it’s not medically possible for some people). If you have questions, please talk to your doctor. Or a doctor. Basically, ask a medical professional.
My anxiety has gone waaaaaaaaaaaay down since getting the shot. I’m still distancing and wearing a mask, of course. It’s just peace of mind to know that I have an added layer of protection. It feels so good to know that.

2018 Lexus LS 500 — Raising the luxury bar
By Jim Meachen
The Lexus brand was launched nearly 30 years ago to take on the European auto elite. The first car produced by Toyota’s new luxury division was the LS 400, a large sedan with a 4.0-liter V-8 engine making 250 horsepower and mated to a four-speed automatic. It became an instant success. As the years went by, the LS has become more sophisticated and the engines have gotten bigger and more advanced. And they have all come with eight cylinders — until now.
As the all-new fifth generation LS carries on as the brand’s flagship it reminds us again that Europe doesn’t have a lock on world-class luxury. And notably Lexus has joined the trend toward smaller, turbocharged engines, and for the first time a six cylinder lies under the hood of an LS. The new 2018 LS 500 comes with twin turbochargers, 416 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s still rear driven — and an all-wheel drive variant is available.
The 2018 LS also gets a new platform that’s even longer than the outgoing generation’s stretched model. The long wheelbase will be the only version offered for 2018. It has a lower, ground-hugging appearance and a striking coupe-like silhouette with a six-window profile. The body is mostly aluminum; only the roof is steel. Luxury audiences have a measured preference for big grilles and the LS doesn’t disappoint. A unique rendition of the massive spindle grille mesh includes 5,000 different surfaces (7,000 on the F Sport trim), flanked by narrow slit-like projector lamps and L-shaped LED lamps. Overall, it’s the most sharply angled and edgy vehicle in its class.
The effects of the longer wheelbase really show up inside, with massive amounts of passenger room and comfort. Unlike most cars, the best seat in the new LS isn’t the driver’s. Rather, the backseat is like flying international first class with executive seats that heat, cool, massage, and recline — along with a raised ottoman.
Power window shades add privacy and keep out the sun. There are also 11.6-inch entertainment screens, a Mark Levinson 3D audio system, ambient lighting, and a wide variety of hand-finished trim options that include a choice of nine interior color schemes — plus two more for the F Sport. There’s several Shimamoku wood patterns available in a choice of matte or gloss, light or dark. All wood pieces are individually handcrafted by a Takumi (Japanese for “artisan”) craftsperson.
Other interior trim elements include Kiriko glassware ornamentation and hand-folded pleats on the door trim when the Executive Package is included. This is unquestionably a showy, almost arrogant display of luxury automotive craftsmanship that is nothing short of exceptional — pure genius.
While the overall interior layout is extraordinary, we were dismayed that Lexus decided to carryover the infamous touchpad-based infotainment system. It has to be the most distracting feature found in any car regardless of price. It’s impossible to use without taking eyes off the road — and that’s never a good idea while hurtling down a highway at 70 mph. There is a better way, just check the competition.
For those who want more performance Lexus again offers the LS 500 with the F Sport package that will take you on a 0-to-60 run in just 5-seconds. The F Sport is also equipped with dynamic handling, active stabilizers, sport-tuned suspension and air height adjustment to lower the vehicle’s profile for improved handling dynamics at highway speeds, and is easier for entry and exits from the cabin.
The LS 500 provides world-class safety technology with Lexus Safety System+ A, PCS that can detect pedestrians and vehicles ahead using millimeter-wave radar for collision prevention, and stereo cameras for damage mitigation. In certain situations, the active steering assist can automatically control steering and braking when there is a high possibility of collision with a pedestrian.
With its array of sensors, the LS can detect the threat of an impending collision and automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not. Lane departure alert detects road lanes and alerts the driver when the vehicle wanders, and even provides steering wheel assistance to keep the vehicle in its lane.
The Lexus comes in just two trim levels — base and F Sport and with the choice of rear wheel or all-wheel drive. The LS 500 starts at $75,995 including a $995 destination charge. All-wheel drive raises the bottom line to $79,215. Our F Sport test car with all-wheel drive carried a bottom line of $88,155, which included virtually all the options available on the Lexus.
2018 Nissan Kicks — A pleasing personality
By Jim Meachen
Nissan has joined the rapidly expanding subcompact crossover SUV segment with a stylish, easy-to-like and relatively inexpensive vehicle with a rather unique name. We found the 2018 Kicks enjoyable to drive, comfortable all-around and with a host of amenities including an excellent-sounding eight-speaker Bose audio system in top-level SR trim that can be purchased for about 22 grand.
If you like the style and personality of Nissan’s newest offering, it can be yours for as little as $18,985 including destination charge. We can’t think of a less expensive yet more desirable new vehicle currently on the market.
The standard features list is amazingly long and includes things you only wish you could get as options on competing base models — automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert, automatic headlights, three USB ports, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, automatic up/down front windows, keyless entry and push-button start, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth phone and streaming audio.
Plunk down about $1,500 more and the mid-level SV trim brings an upgraded infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, automatic climate control, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a cargo cover, remote engine start, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Go all in with the top SR trim with the Premium package for just over $22,000 and you will own a ride that even us old and jaded reviewers could live with as a daily driver. That cash outlay will bring such additional goodies as LED headlights, a surround-view camera (very cool if you haven’t experienced one), nice faux-leather heated seats, a leather heated steering wheel, and the aforementioned outstanding Bose audio system. Another feature only available on the SR model is Nissan’s Integrated Dynamics-Control Module designed to improve comfort by using the brakes to help balance the car in corners and curves or when the road undulates.
Even though the Kicks is loaded with attributes, one of its few so-called downsides is a leisurely persona — what’s the hurry? Stop and smell the roses — with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine making 125 horsepower and 115 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm mated to a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Granted, 125 ponies seems like a bare minimum, but get behind the wheel and you will find that its recorded 9.7-second 0-to-60 time is just a number.
Thanks to its light weight — just 2,654 pounds — and its engine tuning together with its just-right shifting from its simulated gear setup, the little Kicks feels sprightly around town, and with plenty of grunt for those pesky merging and passing chores — provided you are willing to put the pedal to the metal and exercise a bit of caution on a two-lane road or when you need extra speed to keep up with freeway traffic.
The real bottom line is gas mileage. The Kicks is one of the most fuel efficient small SUVs on the planet, EPA rated at 31 mpg city, 36 highway and 33 combined with front wheel drive burning regular gas. The Kicks is not available with all-wheel drive.
The interior feels comfortable and friendly. Although we found much black plastic inside our top SR trim test car, it was nicely textured and padded, and fit and finish appeared first class. Our test car featured orange fabric panels on the seats and doors and orange contrast stitching on the leather-trimmed dashboard. Gauges are clear and switchgear is intuitive and easy to use. For those who enjoy a good sound from their audio system, Nissan has made available two optional systems — a 300-watt 7-speaker Rockford-Fosgate system that can be added to any trim level for $595, and as noted above, the Bose system that can be added in top-level SR trim with the $1,000 Premium package.
The front seats proved comfortable and reaching a good driving position was easy. One trip included hauling three adults with no complaints about rear-seat room or comfort. The cargo area behind the seats (25 cubic feet) proved large enough to easily transport a folding wheelchair. We think two sets of golf clubs would also fit without any drama. Cargo space with the seats folded increases to 53 cubic feet.
It seems the younger set wants more personalization these days and Nissan has made it possible with its Color Studio offering 12 accessories for a bit more color and, well, more kick(s). We most like the ability to add a two-tone body/roof paint scheme for $545.
Our top trim SR with Premium Package, the two-tone paint, and the Bose audio carried a bottom line of $22,025 including destination charge.

KINGS OF GRAVITY:
Atmospheric hardness, bluesy melancholy and a healthy dose of dolefulness – this pretty much sums up the sound of the KINGS OF GRAVITY. With its perfectly balanced mix of Metal, Stoner, Blues and Dark Rock, the Berlin quintet led by singer and award winning film composer David Ossa delivers the leaden soundtrack to our strife-ridden times. There’s no simple scratching at music’s emotional surface for KINGS OF GRAVITY. They dig way deeper, shirking hackneyed and empty clichés. They’re about dark energy, for the mind and soul!
Final Stair allure an entire generation with their pure and honest sound. The band nurtures a generation craving for true emotions and honest story telling.
When asked, Noahs Boat describes his music as ‚experimental downtempo‘, which still has the energy to make his audience move to its beat. Especially to those songs written in collaboration with a diverse group of international singers and musicians.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) than are non-T2DM patients. Moreover, the clinical outcomes in CAD with T2DM are poor despite improvements in medications and other interventions. Coronary artery bypass grafting is superior to percutaneous coronary intervention in treating multivessel coronary artery disease in diabetic patients. However, selecting a revascularization strategy depends not only on the lesion complexity but also on the patient's medical history and comorbidities. Additionally, comprehensive risk management with medical and non-pharmacological therapies is important, as is confirmation regarding whether the risk-management strategies are being appropriately achieved. Furthermore, non-pharmacological interventions using exercise and diet during the earlier stages of glucose metabolism abnormalities, such as impaired glucose tolerance, might be beneficial in preventing the development or progression of T2DM and in reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular events.
Keywords: Comprehensive risk management; Diabetes; Drug-eluting stents; Multivessel disease; Percutaneous coronary intervention.

Not only does the Prescott Valley Police Department fight crime, it also fights cancer.
PVPD policies have a strict uniform policy, such as, men must have clean-shaven faces (except for mustaches), women must have no colored fingernail polish, and no jeans will be worn on duty. However, for the month of November, these restrictions are lifted.
For men, it’s called “No Shave November.” The only restrictions will be that facial hair will be neatly groomed and maintained (no Grizzly Adams beards).
For women, it’s called “Nails for No Cancer.”
For both men and women, a new program has been added, called “Jeans for No Cancer.” The jeans must be professional-looking (i.e., no rips, stains, tears, fraying holes, etc.).
Participating personnel will make a financial donation, which will go to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life 2019.
Those participating in the programs will wear pins, making the public aware of employee charity efforts as well as informing the community as to why police personnel are breaking uniform policy.
Every November the police department personnel make a month-long commitment to support anti-cancer efforts. This year’s program will run through Nov. 30.
Prescott Valley Police Department can be contacted at (928) 772-9267 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies.

Gov. Jay Inslee should veto the Legislature’s shameful attempt to make state government more secretive and less responsive to the public. He must send a strong reminder to lawmakers that they work for the people of Washington and that such a role does not place them outside the reach of the law.
This issue carries such weight that The Columbian, in concert with other newspapers throughout the state, is publishing this editorial in the lead position on our web page and on Page A1 of the print edition. We believe it is essential for the public to be aware of and to understand the lengths to which lawmakers have gone to keep that public in the dark.
On Friday, in action appalling in both intent and process, lawmakers overwhelmingly approved legislation to circumvent a recent court decision. That ruling, in Thurston County Superior Court, determined that information such as lawmakers’ emails and schedules are subject to public disclosure laws — the same laws that must be followed by city and county officials throughout the state.
Rather than recognize their duty as public servants, legislators cynically responded by creating and passing a bill to retroactively protect that information. Instead, the bill would make limited information available beginning July 1.
In other words, a duly elected judge ruled that the Legislature has been violating the law regarding public records, so the Legislature changed the law. The action is an indefensible power play that poorly serves the citizens of the state.
That summarizes the intent of the bill, but the process has been equally galling. The bill was introduced and passed in the span of two days, minus the typical slate of public hearings, discussion and debate. For an elected body that dithered for five years before meeting a court mandate regarding school funding, it is curious that the issue of public disclosure could be resolved in two days.
Among Southwest Washington lawmakers, Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver, provided the only dissenting vote. “I believe the process of how this bill transpired could’ve been done differently with more public input,” Kraft wrote in a text message to The Columbian. “As a representative I have to be accountable to the citizens, so their feedback on important issues such as this especially is key.”
Other legislators defended their votes in favor of the bill, with Rep. Sharon Wylie, D-Vancouver, decrying in a Facebook post what she called “lies” and “hysteria” surrounding the issue. If that is, indeed, the case, lawmakers should be willing to hold robust public hearings and make a case for the bill, rather than ramming it through the legislative process.
Democracy, as we often state, can be messy. But one of its hallmarks must be openness on the part of elected representatives. Attempting to institutionalize opaqueness in the wake of a court ruling furthers mistrust among the public, suggests that secrecy is more important to lawmakers than service, and demonstrates an attitude that legislators can place themselves above the law. At a time when the foundation of our democracy is under frequent attack, it is essential that officials at all levels err on the side of disclosure rather than confidentiality.
Because of that, Gov. Inslee must veto the bill. While the legislation passed with veto-proof majorities, the governor would be wise to question whether lawmakers are confident in their action and fully understand the depth of public disapproval.
Sending the bill back to the Legislature would provide time to reconsider the proposal and would give the public ample time to weigh in — something that was woefully lacking last week.

Piedmont Laureate: Poet Jaki Shelton Green Will Serve for One Year
Acclaimed poet Jaki Shelton Green has been selected to serve as the first Piedmont Laureate.
Similar to the N.C. Poet Laureate program, the Piedmont Laureate program is dedicated to building a literary bridge for residents to come together and celebrate the art of writing. Co-sponsored by the City of Raleigh Arts Commission, Durham Arts Council, Orange County Arts Commission and United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County, the program's key goal is to promote awareness and heighten appreciation for excellence in the literary arts throughout the Piedmont region.
Green has long been an arts advocate, mentor, teacher and working poet.
"I am honored and humbled to be the first one," says Green, who adds she now feels sanctioned to spread the message to a wider group of writers that there needs to be more collaboration and networking, especially among emerging poets.
"One of our long-range goals in establishing this program is the hope that it will serve as a model to inspire similar, regionally-based Laureate programs in the state," says Margaret DeMott, director of artist services at the Durham Arts Council.
Debbie McGill, former Literature Director of the North Carolina Arts Council, concurs.
"The state poet laureate can't be everywhere," she says. "When several counties join forces to appoint a literary ambassador, the resources available for community service are exponentially greater."
"I applied to be the first Laureate because I am so excited about utilizing the fervor akin to an evangelist to facilitate a 'movement' that fosters a greater appreciation of the literary arts," Green says. "During my tenure, it is my intention to identify and interface with the numerous community-based organizations that are engaged already with literary programs and hopefully collaborate on strengthening their efforts and assisting them with strategies that will enlarge and sustain their projects."
To further this goal, the Durham Arts Council is working with the Durham County Library to identify key opportunities for the Piedmont Laureate to promote poetry and summer reading throughout the county.
Green's publications include "Dead on Arrival," "Masks," "Conjure Blues," and "Breath of the Song," which was cited as one of two Best Poetry Books of the Year by the Independent Weekly. Her books are published by the Durham-based, independent Carolina Wren Press and are available at www.carolinawrenpress.org.
Her poems have appeared in numerous magazines and journals, including Ms. Magazine, Essence, The Crucible and Obsidian, and she has read and performed her poetry and taught writing workshops throughout the United States, Caribbean, Europe and Central and South America. She has collaborated with the African American Dance Ensemble, Two Near the Edge, and ChoreoCollective to create dance and spoken word performance pieces.
Green has served on the Durham Arts Council Emerging Artists Committee and received the North Carolina Award for Literature in 2003, the 2006 Artist in Residence at the Taller Portobelo Artist Colony and the 2007 Sam Ragan Award.
In his letter of support for Green's application, Joseph Bathanti, professor of creative writing at Appalachian State University, wrote: "I've had the pleasure of seeing Jaki in action (the operative word for her dynamism).... Her readings are electrifying. She is a presence at the podium, a meld of panache and humility that embraces every audience She is North Carolina poetry's Billie Holiday"
Green will serve for one year as Piedmont Laureate and receive an honorarium of $5,000. Her duties will include presenting public readings and workshops, participating at select public functions and creating the outline for an original community activity to expand appreciation of literature.
Applications for the Laureate position were received from a three-county area. A selection committee comprised of Dr. Anjail Rashida Ahmad, director of the creative writing program at North Carolina A&T State University; Dr. Sally Buckner, author and editor; Richard Krawiec, author and editor; Banu Valladares, cARTwheels manager at the North Carolina Arts Council; and sponsoring agency representatives reviewed all applications and made recommendations.

In recent times, lots of homeowners are choosing to install roller shutters for their homes in Australia. This is because they provide a range of benefits such as security, privacy, insulation and noise reduction. However, the decision between manual or motorised roller shutters can be a difficult one. Don’t worry, you won’t leave this article without answers!
What is a Roller Shutter?
A roller shutter is a type of door or window covering which consists of many horizontal slats or louvres that are connected to one another; the shutters can be opened and closed either manually or automatically using electric motors. Placed on the outside of windows and doors, roller shutters provide privacy, security and insulation from the elements.
Benefits of Roller Shutters
Why invest in roller shutters from Uniblinds and other reliable companies? One of the biggest advantages of roller shutters is that they provide strong security. The sturdy aluminium slats are designed to resist forced entry, making them the perfect choice for protecting your home or business from intruders. Installing roller shutters is an excellent way to ensure that your property is shielded from vandalism and theft – many criminals will see these shutters and not even attempt to gain entry.
In addition to security, roller shutters are a great way to reduce energy costs. They provide excellent insulation and can block up to 70% of heat or cold from entering your property, helping you maintain a comfortable temperature while using less energy. What’s more, they can also block out bright sunlight and reduce noise pollution, creating a quieter atmosphere inside your home or business.
Manual vs Motorised Roller Shutters
Manual Roller Shutters
Manual roller shutters are a cost-effective option for your home as they require no electric power or motors to operate. They are usually opened and closed by winding a handle or turning a key to lock them into place. Typically, they are made from aluminium, steel or PVC and come in a variety of colours and styles to suit any building design.
Motorised Roller Shutters
On the other hand, motorised roller shutters are powered by an electric motor, which can be programmed to open and close the shutter at predetermined times. These shutters offer convenience and security, as they can be programmed to open and close automatically as needed. They are available in a variety of materials including metal, timber and PVC, and come in various sizes to fit any window or door.
Many motorised roller shutters also offer additional features such as sensors that detect when the shutters need to close and an alarm system that can be triggered if the shutter is tampered with. Sometimes, they are also connected to home automation systems so they can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app.
Choosing the Right Roller Shutters
When it comes to choosing the right roller shutters for your home, you need to consider a few factors. Firstly, think about how often you plan to use the shutters. If they will be used frequently, then a motorised system is likely to be more durable and reliable in the long run. On the other hand, if you only plan to use them occasionally, then a manual system may be better suited to your needs.
Secondly, think about the environment in which the shutters will be installed. If they are exposed to extreme temperatures, then motorised roller shutters may be more suitable due to their superior insulation capabilities. Additionally, they are much easier to operate in extreme weather conditions than manual roller shutters.
If you’re in doubt, contact experts and get the right shutters for your home!


Each year, coffee drinkers across the globe create six million pounds of waste in the form of spent coffee grounds. Some of us chuck it in our compost pile, but most of it becomes just another garbage disposal challenge.
It turns out that there is a surprising use for used coffee—one that solves another environmental problem, too. Coffee can remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury from water.
In the past, researchers have experimented with placing coffee grounds in water contaminated with heavy metals. The coffee was effective at binding to the heavy metal ions, but it was extremely difficult, says researcher Despina Fragouli, to get the coffee out of the water afterwards.
She and a team of researchers from Italy have found a novel solution to this problem.
“By introducing the spent coffee grounds into a polymeric foam, we formed a solid composite system…that is easy to manipulate…[and that] can be used as a filter,” she says.
For the study, which was published recently in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, the researchers oven-dried and ground the coffee into a powder. They mixed the powder with sugar and a silicone elastomer to make a filter that’s 60 percent coffee and 40 percent foam. Then the researchers made 20 ml solutions with different concentrations of lead and mercury and immersed a 0.2 gram piece of the foam into the solutions.
The longer the foam remained in the solution, the more metals it removed. After 30 hours, the foam was able to remove 99 percent of the lead from the lowest concentration (37 ppm) solution. The foam removed 99 percent of mercury at a concentration of 16 ppm. As the concentrations of the metals in the solutions increased, the removal rates decreased.
They also conducted an experiment that more closely mimicked a real life filtration system in which the solution flows over the filter. They experimented with four different speeds. At the fastest speed of 1,200 milliliters per hour, the foam removed 4.25 percent of the lead. At the slowest speed of just 2ml/h, it removed 66.72 percent. Fragouli says her team is now experimenting with thicker filters in order to increase these rates.
Next, the researchers will need to determine whether the coffee filter still works in water that also contains organic pollutants. Fragouli believes that if they are successful, the filter could used at industrial sites and in urban waste water processing plants. They are also in the process of studying whether it can remove enough heavy metals from water to make it safe for human consumption.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama confirmed the FBI’s assessment that North Korea was behind the attack. He said he wished the studio had reached out to him before canceling the film’s release, and that he fears it sets a bad precedent for the nation.
“We cannot have a society where some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States,” Obama said. “Imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don’t want to offend the sensibilities of someone who’s sensibilities probably need to be offended.”
“That’s not who we are,” Obama added, noting that the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing did not deter runners from running this year. “That’s not what America’s about.”
Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton, appearing on CNN shortly after Obama spoke, defended the studio. “We have not caved,” he said. “We have not given up. We have persevered and we have not backed down. We have always had every desire to have the American public see this movie.”
Obama promised that the United States would respond “proportionally” to the attack, but would not detail those actions publicly.
“We will respond,” he said. We will respond proportionally, and we will respond at a place and time that we choose.”

Camille Summers-Valli directed 'Still I Rise', a campaign for UN IFAD (International Fund for Agricultural Development). IFAD exists because women currently make up 43% of the agricultural labour force in developing countries, and yet, only receive 10% of agricultural aid. IFAD wants to put women’s empowerment at the forefront of all development work.
Every day, women produce food in the world’s most challenging conditions. They face violent conflicts, changing climates, and complete isolation from roads and markets. And unlike male farmers, these women have fewer rights to the land they work and restricted access to financing. If women were granted the same access to tools, land and resources as their male counterparts, it could increase their farm yields by 20-30%. This could feed an additional 100-150 people – playing a crucial role in ending extreme poverty and hunger.
‘Still I Rise’ is a powerful short film featuring acclaimed poet Maya Angelo that raises awareness of the power of rural women in the fight to end global hunger. In Camille’s words, ‘We wanted to show the beauty and potential of these women and girls by showing them in their everyday environments and routines. It’s a message of hope, of strength. I wanted to show their potential to overcome and to also help feed the world if we invest in them and their futures.’
‘Still I Rise’ was released on the International Day of Rural Women and was broadcast on global television networks. The film picked up traction with press including Campaign and LBB.
About IFAD's work with rural women
Promoting gender equality is a key element of IFAD’s work to reduce rural poverty and improve food security. Women make up about half of all participants of the projects IFAD supports. The projects help rural women grow more food, connect to markets, increase their incomes, and become more literate and financially skilled.

The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, currently visiting China, looks "dismayed and disappointed" in the wake of the latest spy scandal to break out in Germany earlier this week, the Spiegel Online newspaper reports, quoting a source within the German delegation in China.
The scandal may deal a serious blow to America’s reputation in Germany, the source said.
Germany's Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has demanded explanations from Washington following the arrest of a suspected US spy in Germany.
If the suspicions are proved, then it’s no trifling matter, he said during his visit to Mongolia on Sunday.
Steinmeier urged Washington to contribute to the speedy clarification of all circumstances surrounding the affair.
The German Interior Minister, Thomas de Maisiere, for his part told Germany’s Bild newspaper he expected the White House to voice its position and come up with an assessment of the incident.

@JrMozart decided to hold his own Cake and a Movie Night last night. It was a ton of fun!
He made the delicious six layer coconut-mango cake, which we all devoured instantly. What a wonderful recipe! Scott did such a great job making it too. Since this was our first Greensboro, NC Cake and a Movie night, we decided to check out a shorter film.
The film of choice was Toyland, the oscar winning short of 2009. We all agreed that it was a very interesting film with a real WWII feel, but it was a little odd in some respects. Scott pointed out that a man says,”Hocus Pocus” and it gets translated to Abracadabra in English. LOL.
Overall, it was a great time had by all. You’ve come up with a really fun idea here, keep it up!

MELBOURNE: Australia expects one in four cars sold will be electric vehicles by 2030, but the government said on Friday it will not provide subsidies to spur faster growth of cleaner cars as it looks to cut carbon emissions.
Instead, the conservative government proposed to invest in electric-vehicle (EV) recharging and hydrogen refuelling stations, backing purchases by commercial fleets, and making sure battery EVs do not strain the country's power grid.
The approach is in stark contrast with Norway, which has promoted clean cars through tax breaks, resulting in battery EVs making up 54 per cent of new cars sold in 2020, a global record.
By comparison, the Australian government in December estimated that by 2030, battery EVs, including plug-in hybrids, would make up 26 per cent of new vehicle sales in the country, up from 1 per cent in 2020.
In a proposed future fuels strategy released on Friday and due to be finalised in the first half of this year, the government said it was backing its plans with nearly A$100 million ($76 million) in previously announced funding.
Cost is one of the biggest hurdles deterring people from switching from conventional vehicles to cleaner cars, but the government said it did not make sense to provide subsidies for EVs.
"Importantly, this discussion paper shows that closing this gap through subsidies for new technology vehicles is not value-for-money for taxpayers and is an expensive form of (carbon) abatement," Energy Minister Angus Taylor said in a statement.
The paper said depending on the vehicle type and use, subsidies that closed the gap between EVs and conventional cars could cost up to A$747 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent reduced, compared with A$16 per tonne through Australia's Emissions Reductions Fund.
Comments on the plan are due in April, but green groups said on Friday more needs to be done.
"As the sunniest and one of the windiest countries on the planet and a global leader in the uptake of rooftop solar, Australia should be harnessing this clean power to drive an EV revolution," Climate Council researcher Tim Baxter said.
"The board has approved the buyback of fully paid up equity shares having a face value of Re 1 each of the company at a price not exceeding Rs 200 per equity share and not exceeding Rs 98 crore payable in cash via open market route," IEX said.
