Three high-rise tower blocks to get three times more energy-efficient heating
A flagship renewable heating retrofit project in the Government’s plans to decarbonise social housing is set to reduce fuel bills by over 50% for some Thurrock residents
The project, delivered by Kensa Contracting and Thurrock Council, will demonstrate the potential for Ground Source Heat Pumps on Shared Ground Loops to rapidly and affordably decarbonise multiple properties at scale.
The scheme is also a timely demonstrator of the ability to deliver against the UK’s net zero targets in the wake of a recent report released by the Climate Change Committee which criticised the government for showing great ambition but lacking delivery.
273 storage heaters across three tower blocks in Chadwell St Mary’s, Thurrock will be replaced with Kensa ground source heat pumps inside each flat, which will deliver three times more energy efficiency for the residents.
Thurrock Council secured £3.2 million from Wave 1 of the Government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) to help finance the scheme. The SHDF, a £3.8 billion 2019 manifesto commitment, aims to support local authorities and social landlords to retrofit their housing stock at scale over a 10-year period.
Over 34% of all emissions in the UK are attributed to the provision of heat. The installation of the low-carbon heating systems at Chadwell St Mary’s is expected to provide a 70%+ reduction in carbon emissions. Over the life cycle of this installation, the total emissions saving of the heat pumps is projected to be 7,080 tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of taking 1,540 cars off the road*, significantly improving local air quality and reducing the carbon footprint of the residences.
The project is set to secure 40-50% savings on residents’ annual energy bills*, a significant benefit considering over half of the recipients have been identified as currently at risk of experiencing fuel poverty.
Cllr Luke Spillman, Cabinet Member for Housing, said:
This funding has been specifically granted to deliver a trailblazing heating solution that is the first of its kind for Thurrock Council. The old storage radiators and hot water systems in each of the 273 flats will be replaced with a significantly better, cost-effective and greener solution.
This is great news for our residents, and I would like to thank the government for awarding this funding and helping us better support our residents and tackle fuel poverty by driving down fuel bills and keeping our homes warmer and greener.
Dr Stuart Gadsden, Commercial Director of Kensa Contracting, said:
Ambitious, large-scale projects like this one undertaken by Thurrock Council are key to meeting the Government’s targets of 600,000 heat pump installs per year by 2028. More than 80% of UK homes will still be in use in 2050, so it is clear that existing buildings will have to undergo significant improvements/ deep retrofitting to meet the challenge of decarbonisation.
Ground Source Heat Pumps on Shared Ground Loops are proven to provide the lowest carbon, lowest running costs and lowest whole-life cost solution, especially for heating high-rise developments. These systems help housing providers lower their environmental impact and future-proof their assets, whilst protecting their tenants from fuel poverty.
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has confirmed that Ground Source Heat Pump systems, such as the one at Chadwell St Mary Towers, are eligible for funding.
It is expected that Wave 2 of the SHDF will be open for applications in late August/early September 2022, with funding being made available to registered providers of social housing, including private and local authority providers, to improve the energy efficiency of social housing properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D, or lower, to an EPC rating of C, and reduce carbon emissions.
Kensa is urging local authorities and housing providers to work with them early and start preparing their Wave 2 applications now to increase their chances of securing funding to decarbonise their stock and tackle fuel poverty. Request a free one-to-one feasibility study.

With coffee, you can make good money even in a small acreage. With cotton, you can only make money if you have a big acreage. In the North and East, in those years, the populations were still small, and, therefore, the land could not have been the problem. What, then, was the problem? Why were people not building better houses?
In the Ankole area, the people were staying in grass-thatched huts because there was no cash-crop production- no coffee, no cotton, no dairy industry, no serious beef industry beyond the monthly cattle auction markets that, again, only catered, where the parents were enlightened enough, for school fees, like in my family’s case.
By 1954, I can only remember 3 mabaati-roofed houses in the two parishes of Kikoni and Nyaburiza – two belonged to local colonial chiefs and one belonged to a trader. Apart from the mabaati roofs, the three lonely houses were made of the flimsy wattle, reeds and mud walls (emuli- emiingo and ebikondo).
The bricks or the Cement blocs were unheard of. Yet, many families had a lot of land, cattle, big banana plantations etc. It was, however, all for, mainly, traditional purposes of subsistence.

Today, my driveway was getting fresh gravel, so I headed out for a photo cruise. I decided to head north this time, I haven’t done much that direction. Found a neat road through the redwoods, but I didn’t stop to shoot along that road. I did stop at some coastal vista points, and then made my way to Big Lagoon Beach (just the north side of Patrick’s Point and Agate Beach).
Took a fair few photos, and some video of the waves. Check my YouTube (button to the left) to view videos.

Yesterday's high temperature was 49°F, and since our house has virtually no insulation, the temperature inside was practically the same. Mingus is the only happy one when the temperature dips. The rest of us pile on clothing, huddle together, and in my case, roast.
Roasting is the silver lining to a cold house. I crank the oven up, and then let it produce braised meats, vegetables with lovely caramelized bits, and breads. I do minimal prep work, too, and the pace is so slow that it's easy to clean as I go, knit, and read a book (all the while huddled up to the oven).
Sadly, I have no pictures of the braised lamb shoulder I made last Saturday. The braising liquid contained mandarin zest, ginger, a cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and some honey. It was falling off of the bones - so good! If someone can inform me how I am supposed to carve a lamb shoulder, though, please do! It was so pretty in the pot, but since it had no structure after being braised at 300°F for 5 hours, it fell apart if you just looked at it funny.
I took better blog notes on Sunday so I could share with you a typical roasting day. I was able to pick up all of my produce from the Riverdog Farm booth at the Berkeley Farmers' Market.
Happily, the produce that is in season - Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, winter squashes, beets - is just begging to be roasted. I started my roast-o-rama by heating up the oven to 450°F. Once the oven temperatures was stable, in went the halved Brussels sprouts for 40 minutes. Since I had some leftover lamb fat from the night before, I decided to use that fat instead of olive oil or bacon grease to coat them. I also gave them a generous sprinkle of salt and freshly ground pepper. They turned out delicious!
Next was the cauliflower, roasted for 35 minutes. Roasted cauliflower is a treat I enjoy almost year round here. This time, I coated them with my favorite Bariani olive oil, course sea salt, and ground pepper.
After the cauliflower was roasted, I cranked the oven temperature down to 350°F and popped in the pumpkin, pumpkin seeds (tossed with olive oil, cayenne powder, cumin, and salt), and whole garlic. The pumpkin seeds were done in 30 minutes and the pumpkin and garlic took about an hour.
I'll scrape out the pumpkin flesh and make either gnocci, ravioli filling, or a soup, the roasted garlic will go into just about everything this week - vampires (and friends) beware, and the seeds will probably top our salads and be useful for snacky moments.
We put up some red saurkraut yesterday, too. Since the organic red cabbage was on sale for 1/2 the price of the green ones, we decided to experiment. I'm really happy with how it turned out! Shades of crimson are my favorite colors, so hopefully I'll get tired of looking at the canned kraut soon and will use it for a meal.

Monitoring Implementation and Evaluating Performance: Experiences from cash social assistance in Moldova
Policymakers and academics alike agree that M&E does not have an inherent value, but assumes importance when information is used to help improve government performance. However, there are few successful examples of the complex processes that governments need to go through in practice in order to set up such M&E systems and, most importantly, make them feed back into the policy process. This paper analyses a specific case study, Moldova's new targeted social assistance for the poor, and shows how effective triangulation of data from different sources - administrative data acting as a backbone, national survey data providing information on outcome indicators and ad-hoc qualitative studies bridging any gaps - can lead to a simple, low cost solution with strong links to policy and immediacy in delivering results. The paper starts with an analysis of the three main 'building blocks' of M&E systems for targeted cash transfer programmes: the identification of key indicators and targets, the choice of adequate data sources and the institutional arrangements that guarantee the production and use of the data. We then give an overview of the implementation of such a comprehensive M&E system in Moldova, outlining key success factors and how M&E was instrumental in informing implementation and improving service delivery. Finally the paper also draws some lessons learned that could be replicated for similar government programmes. Among other lessons, for example, we argue that well designed monitoring systems should take precedence over 'external' evaluations, especially during the initial implementation stages of a reform.

International formally proposed building a $9 billion casino resort in Osaka, reinvigorating its push to open Japan’s first casino gambling facility after pandemic-related delays.
Global casino operators have been looking for opportunities since Japan legalized casinos in 2018, but the process has moved slowly and some companies have dropped their bids.
Osaka, the core of Japan’s second most-populous region after the Tokyo area, has been among the most active in pushing casino plans. The city has offered Yumeshima or “dream island,” a man-made patch in Osaka Bay, for a casino-centered resort.
Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura said Wednesday that Osaka has received a proposal from MGM and Japanese financial-services company
to spend ¥1 trillion, equivalent to about $9 billion, to build a casino resort. They are the only group pursuing such a project in Osaka.
While the Osaka government hasn’t officially given the consortium’s plan the go-ahead, Mr. Yoshimura hailed the proposal. “I would like to invite the world’s best integrated resort to Yumeshima where many people in Japan and abroad can come and enjoy Osaka after the pandemic is over,” Mr. Yoshimura said.
If all goes smoothly, Osaka plans to apply to the national government by April 2022 for selection as one of three locations nationwide for casinos. Assuming Osaka is picked, it would hand over the land to the operators around 2023 and the resort would open in the latter half of the 2020s, Mr. Yoshimura said.
Orix said it and MGM have equal shares of the consortium, but it declined to say what that share is. Mr. Yoshimura said he expected local companies to join the project.
At a Bernstein investors’ conference in June, MGM Chief Executive
said the company met with Osaka leaders to scale back some elements of the resort, such as meeting and convention space. He said the changes would “center us more in our core business of gaming” and improve returns on the project.
Polls show a majority of Japanese oppose casino gambling. Advocates of the idea tend to call the facilities integrated resorts and say that casinos are only a small part of them.
Other companies have ended their pursuit of a casino in Japan after delays in the licensing process.
Las Vegas Sands Corp.
, formerly led by the late
said in May 2020 that it dropped its proposal for Yokohama, south of Tokyo, over concerns about the license lasting only 10 years. The company said the decision wasn’t related to the pandemic. Sands has longer-term licenses for its casinos in Macau and Singapore.
Gov. Yoshimura said he was confident that Osaka, a popular destination for Asian tourists before the Covid-19 pandemic, would recover quickly once infections ease. MGM and Orix “decided to invest because they think so too,” he said.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by omnicosmic Wonderful Portable Stand
This is a wonderful stand. I purchased this for the portability as I also have the stationary stand. The stand does everything really well. The expanding infeed and outfeed roller is very convenient when cutting 8ft-10ft boards although the spring stops are a bit flimsy as I have pulled the support out accidentally several times. As for the portability, I absolutely love being able to collapse it down and hide the stand in the corner. Just be careful on unsteady ground because it has a tendency to want to roll. The raise and lowering mechanism is a bit tricky at first. Just a hint, to collapse down quickly, lift the stand and press the release, then push it down with your own weight. Otherwise this is a fantastic stand for the money.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by elderale Finally a way to get my miter saw out and running quick and easy.
This stand is wonderful for those of us who have the big miter saws. No more strenuous lifting and opening stand legs in order to use the miter saw. It was so much trouble to get it out and on the stand that I just used a smaller miter saw with a lot less features than my big Dewalt one. It was easy to put together,but the illustrations were poorly written.The parts to assemble it were not clearly marked either. They could improve on the instructions for assembly. I absolutely love the stand and the easy access to get my saw out to work with now. The price was a littler higher than several of the others,but I wanted it to match my saw. Wonderful tool.

Perfect stand. Easy to use. I don't understand the reviews about storing the tool upright. I store my 12" dewalt miter saw up right all the Time Very sturdy in all positions in use or In storage.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by RJRR Excellent stand despite a few minor issues
Picked up the DWX726 to hold my new DWS780 slider. The stand is sturdy and overall well built. The ease to lift and lower is exactly what I was looking for. The portability is great, the support/feed rollers adjust perfectly and easily hold 8' long 2x4 and 4x4's with no sagging.
The only negatives were that two of the screw holes were very easily stripped during assembly. One of the M6 attaching the wheel supports and the small M6 on the handle. I simply retapped the leg hole to a 3/8-24 and drilled out the handle home and put a 1.5" 1/4-20 bolt with lock nut in it's place. I would be better if DeWalt had used through holes with bolts/nuts vs. the poor self tapped holes.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by DABS The good the bad !!! Yellow
The stand is 4 out 5 just bought and yes the instructions where not good at all , thank goodness I have a mech background lol. It could be a little taller and like others have stated you can not leave your miter saw on it to store without strapping to something it would fall over , but over all is very nice !! Has anyone tried putting a table saw on this stand because that would be great if it works out for both thanks !

Steve and Kevin at the New Smyrna Beach Home Depot were very helpful in making the decision to get this stand with the DWS782 saw. I disagree with those who say it is difficult to assemble. It was very simple, the majority of it comes preassembled except for legs and wheels. Height is adjustable, I am 6 feet tall and second to last setting is fine. The extensions slide out and are very helpful on cutting long material.
I will always trust Home Depot for all my future Dewalt purchases, they are the champs.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Grant Well worth the cost
I compared this stand to several other models. This was the only one that had actual rollers. It was only a few dollars more than the models that did not have true feed rollers, and it was well worth the extra few dollars. When using the stand with a planer the true feed rollers work excellent and make planing longer lengths of board much easier. If I had to do it all over again, I would purchase this unit again and again. Incredibly sturdy when used for either a planer or a miter saw.

Let's be honest. It's not a quality stand. The extension arms ate tightened by a thumb screw that strips within the first month and the t stands don't hold any considerable weight. I am a licensed professional carpenter in Arizona who works on custom homes and the saw gets used. I LOVE THE SAW. The rolling cart is junk. Buy something else.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Greg Good stand, but has its shortcomings.
Bought it today and put it together this evening. Instructions are horrible. It desperately needs an exploded diagram of all parts and what they are called. Carton 1 was actually carton 2, hardware bags 1-3 were in cartons 1 and 2 and were not labelled. Had to go ahead and assemble on blind faith that everything was there.
Do not buy this if you want to store it upright with your saw on it. Per DeWalt, it is not intended for that and it will fall over. You are either going to have to lash it to the wall or go buy the Bosch for $300 instead.
I am disappointed in the two heights-- was hoping the lower height would be good for my table saw and the upper height for my scroll saw and miter saw. At 6'3", the upper height is much too short for my liking, and the intermediate height (~3in lower) is worthless. For a 5'3" person, this would probably be useful.
I'm keeping it, it seems to be a good product that I will use a lot, but it does have shortcomings.

Well made, sturdy stand. I like the stainless rollers verses the plain supports on other stands. The gas struts are strong, as is the overall construction. I found the stand to be a great value. My Ridgid stand for my table saw is OK, but not nearly as well engineered and well executed as the DeWalt stand is. It's worth the extra few dollars, IMHO.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Toyboy Space Saving Miter Saw Stand that Rolls!
I bought this for a new Hitachi 12" Slider; it is a great match-up. I picked the Stand up at my local HD, and started putting it together. I had read numerous comments about the problems, and I thank everyone for the forwarnings - it saves a lot of time. It is one solid piece of work, and the pump to raise and lower- that is priceless. I would recommend when you go to assemble, look in the end of the table area, there you will find the hex wrench to handle the bolts. I can't say enough about the ingenious idea to collapse it, with the saw onboard, and store it like a dolly - really space saving and always ready to go. It is heavy, but the idea that I don't have to take the saw off the stand, move the stand to another location, and then reinstall the saw - thank you Dewalt. I strongly recommend the extra few dollars for this - it will pay dividends down the road.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by bayleesg As it turns out, this was a great decision on my part . . .
I read dozens of reviews on this product before I made this purchase and, frankly, I was thinking I should go with another product because of the numerous reports made about the assembly instructions. But, apparently the information I learned by reading the less-than-flattering reports was very helpful, because I had no problems assembling the product at all. Make no mistake about it, the instructions should have been made easier to understand and should have included more information on assembling the wheels and axels. Still, this is an excellent product.
With that said, I will add that the finished product is very stout and easily handles my Craftsman 12" compound miter saw. The miter-saw stand makes it very easy to move the somewhat-heavy saw around, to set up, and to store. I am really pleased with this product.

Clearly a heavy duty item. Was very complicated to assemble. I like the unit a lot, wanted one for a long time, but at $200 for the unit was reluctant. I should have bought it years ago. Very heavy, made of all steel. The side rails are not the easiest to adjust, but the stand rolls quite well and should last a lifetime. Makes me want to upgrade my saw!
Five stars for quality of unit and design, but at this price -- for a stand -- only four stars for value.

This was a gift for Father's Day and I have loved it since it was put together. My son put it together for me and said it was easy to put together. I have used almost every day since I have had it. The best feature is you can drop it down and roll it into the corner and store it while it is standing up. It needs a very small space to store it. I would recommend this product to anyone who uses a miter saw.

I recall the assembly process being tedious, but once together, it is fantastic. The footprint of the stand on my floor is less than the foot print of my 12" sliding saw on a shelf. And it is much easier to move. At 5' 10", it could be an inch or two taller, but the height is limited by the folding ability. Movement is so easy with this thing, just like a hand truck! Some have said extension bars are flimsy, but for a extension roller stand I think it's great. When you attach something at the end of a 4' post, its gonna wobble unless there are legs that go down to the ground. But they stay put and don't move when I'm making my cut, and the rollers work just great. So I'm incredibly pleased. I can now move my saw anywhere, with ease, and I don't need to move my stand-alone roller stands, because this one has them built in.
For comparison, I had the entry level Craftsman roller stand, and that stand you could only roll if the tool was not attached, and that had flimsy out-riggers. In my opinion, the DeWalt version has very stable out-riggers.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by AllPro Very Good stand
4-18-2014. Used for Hitachi C12RSH 12'' sliding compound miter saw. There is not a better stand out there for the price. It seems like most reviews are discussing the instructions, so I'll chime in. The figure often was on the next page for the piece/section you are assembling. When you assemble the stand's handle, it requires two different sized screws from two directions. I overlooked this and stopped at 1 screw and ended up snapping the smaller screw off. The instructions refer to assembly pieces by letter, but that is only in the instructions. Four of the pieces had a L, and R taped on them. This I found confusing at first. They just match left and right stand legs and do not correspond to the lettered instructions. Other than that, I looks like DeWalt re-wrote the instructions after the reviews because much of what people wrote in the reviews no longer applies.

My only disappointment was that I so far have not found a material stop to use in place of the material rollers that came with the stand. Dewalt makes some very nice extension holders with built in stops but none of them will work with this stand.

The payment processor Bitspark has launched the world’s first Hong Kong dollar-linked stablecoin. Until now, many stablecoins were linked to the US dollar, but with this step, Bitspark hopes to be able to bring the benefits of stablecoins to Asia.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are directly linked to a traditional currency. For every stablecoin that Bitspark issues, the company has 1 HKD on the bank. In this way the value of the crypto can be kept stable at 1, making it an ideal instrument for international transactions.
Since Bitspark is involved in facilitating international payment without involving banks, the new stablecoin, Sparkdex.HDK, is therefore an ideal addition for the company. With the stablecoin the company can convert Hong Kong dollar into the stablecoin, send a payment, after which the recipient can convert the stablecoin back to the Hong Kong dollar. Both parties do not have to worry about a fluctuating course.
Until now, the stablecoins market has been dominated by US dollar-linked stable coins. Cryptos such as Gemini dollar (GUSD) and True USD (TUSD) are noted on many cryptocurrency exchanges and the popularity of these cryptos is increasing. The co-founder and CEO of Bitspark said about the new Hong Kong stablecoin:
We are proud that we have achieved this milestone for both the cryptocurrency and the traditional financial sector, and we expect this to pave the way for the much-needed diversity of other currencies within the stablecoin sector.

Deputy Speaker of Goa Assembly Michael Lobo has emerged as the BJP's face among the state's non-Hindus and the youth. His office probably sees more visitors every day than any minister's. A big supporter of Parrikar, Lobo says it's time for the cabinet to deliver.
Q. Has Manohar Parrikar changed?
A. Yes. He is working with double enthusiasm. His grip on the administration has tightened. He has set a timeframe for certain goals.
Q. What is the Parrikar government's future?
A. Those who were criticising us from the Opposition benches are now in the government. They will have to perform to stay relevant.
Q. Why is dissent brewing in the BJP?
A. One or two people does not mean the party. If a mandal pramukh (Siddhesh Naik) has been removed, there must be reasons for it.
Q. How do you look at the situation where only the chief minister is originally from the BJP?
A. The people almost gave a verdict for us to sit in the Opposition. Isn't it good that we are in power?
Q. What are the BJP's lessons from the Goa polls?
A. That personal relations and not development work will matter the most. Our previous government did extremely good work, yet seven of our ministers lost. It is a lesson for each of us.

How to make a template
Materials you will need: Materials needed: 5-6 mil 10ft x 100 ft clear plastic, electrical tape, a sharpie marker, a pair of scissors. NOTE: It must be clear plastic, and it must be at least 5 mil in thickness to prevent stretching. The thicker the better
Stretch plastic over spa and pull tight, so there are no wrinkles or bubbles and secure to the sides of the spa shell/cabinet, housing.
With a Sharpie or similar type of permanent marker:
Trace outside (O.D.) of shell on all sides.
Trace inside (I.D.) of shell on all sides. If the spa is built in, indicate this as waterline.
Trace an outline of controls and anything on top of spa lip that might hinder a good seal.
Keeping in mind that the seal must rest on a flat surface to seal correctly, mark where you would like the cover to rest with a dotted line. If you are not sure, skip this step and we will determine it for you.
With a dotted line, mark where you would like the hinge. If no markings, then we will determine the best location.
This is the finished template that has been marked accordingly. Notice how we have captured the controls, cut outs, cup holders/speakers. The template has been marked to show water line (ID) and the outside edge of the spa shell (OD).

sperm fertilzes the egg, without sperm no baby... so there is NO way a woman can get pregnant without contact of sperm
If sperm has not entered the womans body then sperm will not come in contact with the egg so no you will not get pregnant.
Women can get pregnant in a variety of ways. One common way is through unprotected vaginal intercourse, during which a man ejaculates sperm into the vagina. The sperm can then travel up through the cervix, into the uterus, and, if an egg is present, the sperm may fertilize it.
In order for a woman to get pregnant, she must have sperm from a man.
One sperm cell
It only takes one SPERM cell to make a woman PREGNANT BE SAFE WEAR A CONDOMN
No, absolutely not.
Nothing, you do not ovulate when you're pregnant because you don't have a cycle.
When a sperm cell penetrates an egg, and then implants itself in the lining of the uterus, a woman is considered pregnant.
No only if the sperm enters the vagina
No. If a woman is infertile, sperm will have no effect on her. Infertile means she cannot get pregnant.
It is not likely. The sperm would have needed to come in contact with her vagina. But by this point a lot of the sperm was probably already dead. I wouldn't be too worried but be on a lookout for any symptoms just in case by some chance it did come in contact with your vagina.
In order for a woman to become pregnant, there needs to sperm present. Even if sperm is on another body part, but some of the sperm comes in contact with the vagina, she can still become pregnant. If it is on her fingers and she touches her vagina, there is a risk of pregnancy, although much, much smaller than with penile penetration


After a failed test, the Shumlin Administration is now unveiling alternatives for the health exchange site.
Thursday afternoon state administrators hedged their bets on the readiness of Vermont's online health insurance exchange. A test of the bug-flawed system late Wednesday night revealed the expected fixes for major flaws failed.
"We need to add some additional options to ensure that Vermonters have no fear that they will lose coverage if they can't find a way to navigate the system before the January first deadline," Gov. Shumlin said.
Administrators expected 70,000 Vermonters to sign up for coverage through the exchange by the beginning of next year and 100,000 in total by the end.
The new options unveiled Thursday allow individuals to extend their current coverage until March 31. Small employers can take their business directly to insurance carriers rather than buying online. Insurance company spokespeople welcomed the news after warning administrators in August they hadn't allotted enough time for a proper rollout. "I think we've got the right folks on the job and given the timeline I think this gives everybody a little more breathing room," said Bill Little with MVP
"This is the right move and Vermonters deserve this," said House Republican Minority Leader Don Turner. He said his caucus called on the Governor to implement contingencies and he says he's thankful for Thursday's action.
Prominent health care reform opponent Darcie Johnston agrees, but says more can be done. "Vermont is the only state where individuals and small businesses -- 50 employers or under -- are under a mandate to buy on the exchange, that is something we should get rid of," she said.
Governor Shumlin says despite making the plans available he still has faith the system will be operational, though he couldn't say how quickly that may happen. "I can't tell you how deeply grateful I am to Vermonters for their patience -- and we will get this right," Shumlin said.
The state contract calls for spending $82 million in federal funds on the website that doesn't work -- $18 million has been paid out to the contractor. Missed deadlines mean the state can recoup funds, which Governor Shumlin says the state will do once the site is operational.

Something memorable tends to happen every time France take on Brazil, two teams that share a long rivalry seeped in drama, intensity and emotion. Games between the sides have been high on passion and free of any hint of animosity, with legendary encounters littered through history and feeding the sense of anticipation whenever the continental giants prepare to meet again. As the clock ticks down on their 14th international contest later this evening, FIFA.com looks back over some of their finest tussles from years gone by.
Brazil’s more senior supporters no doubt miss the time when A Seleção tended to brush France aside with relative ease. After clinching a 3-2 friendly success the first time they met in 1930, the South Americans tackled Les Bleus in the semi-finals of the 1958 FIFA World Cup Sweden™. France boasted the likes of Raymond Kopa and Just Fontaine in their ranks, but were powerless to prevent a 5-2 reverse as Brazil moved one final step away from their maiden global crown.
With France captain Robert Jonquet having fractured his leg after 26 minutes, Les Bleus fans still like to speculate as to whether the outcome might have been different in the age of substitutions. What cannot be doubted, though, is that Brazil’s match-winner that day would have found a stage to announce his arrival whatever happened. The eventual champions possessed a line-up rippling with star names such as Didi, Zagallo, Garrincha and Vava, yet it was a fresh-faced 17-year-old who stole the show courtesy of a hat-trick.
“I saw the greatest player of all time, Pele, right at the start,” recalled Fontaine, scorer of France’s equaliser and a record 13 strikes during a single FIFA World Cup. “That was the best Brazil team of all time. It had everything: physique, pace, power and talent.”
That was the best Brazil team of all time. It had everything: physique, pace, power and talent.
Brazil could scarcely have predicted it at the time, but they have yet to celebrate a competitive victory over France since then. Long in awe of their rivals, the Europeans finally broke the spell during a friendly at the iconic Maracana in 1977, although at half-time the scoreline read 2-0 to a home side fully justifying their tag as favourites for the following year’s FIFA World Cup in Argentina.
“Our first half was fantastic,” explained Rivelino, the hosts’ captain that day. “But Brazil couldn’t defend too well. We felt compelled to keep attacking and were a bit guilty of failing to mark Michel Platini, who was a tremendous player.”
That oversight proved costly as France roused themselves to snatch a 2-2 draw. “All of a sudden, we understood we could match them,” said Marius Tresor, who hit the leveller for the visitors. “We respected them less. Subconsciously, we’d respected them too much until then.” A year later in Paris, Michel Hidalgo’s men built on that result by engineering their first ever victory against Brazil, Platini firing the only goal of the encounter to leave opposition ace Zico frustrated.
Those two players locked horns again at Mexico 1986, when their teams produced one of the most memorable matches in FIFA World Cup history. It was the heyday of jogo bonito (the beautiful game) as Zico linked up with the likes of Socrates and Careca to drive Brazil forward, and even if the ‘White Pele’ started the quarter-final meeting on the bench, nothing looked like stopping Tele Santana's entertainers securing their fourth world title. The searing heat in Guadalajara appeared tailor-made for the South Americans too, but both sides played their full part in an instant classic, with fabulous moments of skill mixed in with chances galore at both ends.
Careca opened the scoring for the favourites before Platini restored parity close to the interval, and it would eventually take a penalty shoot-out to separate the sides, Zico having missed a spot-kick for the first time in his career after coming on. Influential throughout the match, Platoche struck his attempt over the bar, but France goalkeeper Joel Bats had already managed to save from Socrates, and Bruno Bellone received a major slice of good fortune when his penalty rebounded off a post and in via the head of Brazil No1 Carlos. Luck was clearly on the side of the French, and Luis Fernandez happily grasped the chance to conclude what had been an epic contest.
While that match has earned a special place in the annals of the game, even friendlies between the two teams have produced more than their share of unforgettable events. Take the 1-1 draw during the Tournoi de France in June 1997, for example, when Roberto Carlos seemed to defy physics with one of the most outrageous free-kicks of the modern era. Striking the ball 35 metres out, the left-back sent his effort so far around the wall that a ball boy wide of Fabien Barthez’s goal instinctively began to duck, but a sudden change of movement then swung it back and sent it careening in off a post as the France custodian watched in horror.
“I practised all through my career so that I could hit the ball well,” said the Corinthians left-back recently. “People still ask me to this day how I did it and I can’t explain it to them.” Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique de Paris believe they have found the secret, on the other hand, having likened the trajectory of his set-piece to “the equation of a spiral described by any rotating sphere in a fluid.”
France had a genius on their bench in Aime Jacquet and one even more talented on the pitch in Zidane.
Far easier to remember would be the equation for the next meeting between the two rivals: a simple 1+1+1=3, recalling the goals notched up by Les Bleus as they tasted glory in the 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil. Four-time winners and reigning champions Brazil went into the Stade de France Final backed by most to prevail against a France team appearing in the deciding game for the first time, but a pair of headers from Zinedine Zidane and Emmanuel Petit’s late strike allowed the hosts to become the seventh nation to reach the global summit.
“France had a genius on their bench in Aime Jacquet and one even more talented on the pitch in Zidane,” explained A Seleção coach Mario Zagallo. The victors’ captain Didier Deschamps echoed that judgement: “Great players always make the difference in big matches. That was the case for us with Zidane.”
Few can therefore have been surprised when the gifted playmaker returned to haunt the South Americans at Germany 2006. Zidane was disputing the very last tournament of his illustrious career and, as France progressed into the knockout phase, suddenly every game they played could turn out to be his swansong.
The spectre of retirement certainly loomed large when Les Bleus were drawn against the Brazil of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka in the last eight, but Zizou chose the occasion to contest his most complete match on the international stage. Every move the French put together went through their veteran schemer, who dazzled the crowd with dribbles, stepovers, changes of pace, exquisite through-balls and the assist for the only goal of the game. The sole consolation for Brazil was knowing that they would never face him again.
Tonight’s encounter (21.00 CET) will be the first meeting between the nations since that match in Frankfurt and, if the past is anything to go by, could spark a whole new set of memories. The cast of characters may have changed, but who would bet against another page of history being written?

The use of drones in asset inspection has gained popularity in several industries having major assets that need to be inspected every now and then. The proper functioning of assets is a crucial factor for all industries. Errors and damages on assets that go unnoticed could pose a major risk and even result in major losses in the long run. This is where drone asset inspection comes in handy.
Using UAVs for inspection is far more advantageous compared to the traditional tools and techniques previously used. Many entities and industries operate diverse kinds of infrastructure. Regular inspection of the infrastructure is paramount to detect any faults or damages causing interruptions and enhance safety and proper functionality.
Manual inspection is not only a huge operational cost but is also a dangerous operation to undertake in areas where the topography is risky to navigate through. This, however, has been made easier through the use of drones which dramatically cut down inspection costs and enhance worker safety by eliminating the manual inspection process.
Some of the assets that can be inspected through drones include, but are not limited to:
I. Solar Farms
Drones have specialized sensors that offer efficient service in solar farm inspections and highly facilitate the planning process. Solar plants are quite large in size. Human inspection is a time-consuming process and poses a health risk to workers. Thermal imaging cameras can transmit visual footage regarding defective panels to the ground engineers who can then analyze the collected data.
They cover huge tracts of land. Conducting inspections for damage detection becomes a more resourceful process when using UAVs that fly in sight, allowing for a more detailed railroad inspection and collection of accurate image data for proper analysis.
Bridge inspections are risky, especially when using traditional techniques that involve using ropes. Interruptions such as closing down the bridge to traffic while conducting inspections is also an inconvenience. Using drones, however, allows for easy capturing of still and infrared images and video data of the specific bride areas which can then be analyzed for defect detection.
IV. Gas and Oil Inspection
Drones can be used for offshore and onshore gas and oil project aerial inspections. Gas and oil operations would initially be shut down to allow for inspection but drones have changed all that. Aerial inspections allow for more gathered data in the least time possible, zero downtime, and enhanced worker safety.
V. Wind Farms
Damaged turbines can be inspected using drones that collect high-definition aerial visual data of the turbine blades, pinpointing the defects in place which engineers can then analyze and take corrective action.
VI. Cell Towers
Climbing cell towers is a dreaded task to undertake even by engineers. They avoid it in every way possible. Thanks to drones, engineers can have an aerial live feed of the towers for a faster and more accurate data collection regarding the tower antennas and radio functionality, as well as defect detection. Birds also make nests on the towers.
Drones can help monitor these nests to ensure they don’t interfere with the tower’s functionality. Climbs can certainly not be replaced by drone flights, but minimizing them enhances worker safety.
The use of drones in asset inspection comes with many benefits to it such as:
- Time-saving– Some terrains take a lot of time to inspect and collect data. Traditional techniques take up a lot of time. Drones, however, perform the inspections quickly and offer quality data.
- Eliminated downtime– Some infrastructure needs to be shut down for traditional inspection to be carried out to avoid damaging the equipment. Drones eliminate these interruptions since they do not interfere with the assets under inspection while they collect aerial data.
- Accurate data collection– accurate well-detailed data can be collected using drones. High-resolution images and high definition videos can be captured using drones, availing in-depth data for a more detailed analysis.
Asset inspection just got easier and better, thanks to the use of drones. Engineers, contractors, and surveyors can confidently employ drone services while conducting asset inspections. Professionally licensed drone operators can be contracted for safe and effective inspections and data collection. No more tedious traditional techniques. Let drones do all the asset inspection for you.

In basic terms, amniotic fluid is urine passed by the foetus in the pregnant uterus.
The fluid is important because it protects the foetus against physical trauma, allows foetal lungs to develop normally, controls the temperature in the womb, and allows space for foetal movement and growth.
Dr Blott said: “Amniotic fluid will not be produced if the baby is not growing.”
So you have already done – successfully – urine therapy for months!
In this revolutionary treatise, J.W. Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural disorders) can be cured by one simple means. The therapy is an entirely drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured in the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine. It may seem strange to take back into the body something that the body is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the human body.
Distilled water is THE water which runs through ALL water-based life forms.
I’ve put together the specific writings of twenty-four doctors who all support the benefits of Distilled Water. The first few pages of Dr.
Hanish’s book (Doctor #24) at the end of this, are really quite stunning. If, after reading this, you think you would like to try distilled water, I
HIGHLY suggest you follow his instructions. EVERYONE we know, who has followed his instructions, has had results of a MOST SUCCESSFUL nature.
Everybody needs to switch their drinking water to distilled water.
A half gallon a day MINIMUM, most preferably a gallon, ESPECIALLY during the recovery period.
*** DOCTOR #1 ***
Here is what Dr. Allen Banik says…
“Distilled water is the greatest solvent on earth. (It is) the only water that can be taken into the body without damage to the tissues.
What we as scientists and the public have never realized is that minerals collected in the body from water are all inorganic minerals, which cannot
be assimilated (digested) by the body. The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals (from fruits and vegetables). All other
types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be disposed of or eliminated.
Today, many progressive doctors prescribe distilled water to their patients. All kidney machines operate on distilled water.” – Allen E. Banik, M.D. Author, “The Choice is Clear”

Health Insurance Survey
The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Nigeria aims to provide health insurance to individuals by ensuring that insured persons and their dependants have access to good quality and affordable healthcare services. However, results from past studies have demonstrated customer dissatisfaction with the service for reasons such as being charged additional fees on the pretext of non-inclusion of particular services in their insurance plan and poor customer service. It has also been discovered that there is poor general knowledge of the service among the enrolled. This study therefore aims to assess the perception of health insurance amongst Nigerians and to evaluate the quality and preference of Health Maintenance Organisation services provided to them.
This study was administered through online questionnaires. A total of 2,084 responses were received and analysed.
The major findings of this study are as follows:
- Enrolment to Health Insurance
51% of the total number of respondents do not have health insurance, comprising 44% who pay out-of-pocket for medical treatment at a hospital and 7% who self-medicate.
The remaining 49% have health insurance. Enrolment to the service is strongest in those who are employed (96%), married (70%) and those who earn above N100,000 monthly.
On the other hand, the majority of respondents who do not have health insurance are mostly single (70% for self-medicators and 48% for those who pay out-of-pocket), employed (64% for self-medicators and 64% for those who pay out-of-pocket) and earn below N100,000 monthly.
- Demand for Health Insurance
Of the total number of respondents, 77% indicate they have sought medical attention from a healthcare professional within the past year while 23% have not. Majority of those who have sought medical care in the past year (55%), have health insurance.
Over 80% of respondents who do not currently have health insurance would like to have the service regardless of whether they self-medicate or pay out-of-pocket for medical treatment at a hospital.
- Reasons for Obtaining Health Insurance
Of the total number of those who have health insurance, most indicated they enrolled for the service because it was part of their employment package (53%) while the least cited reason was the provision of peace of mind for the customer (9%).
For those who do not have health insurance, the most cited reason for not enrolling was because their employer does not pay for the service (30%). Another 15% indicated they had no knowledge of the scheme in Nigeria. The least cited reason for not getting health insurance was the refusal by HMOs to provide cover for patients with certain preexisting health conditions (2%).
- Correlation between Source of Funding and Customer Satisfaction Levels with quality of service
Employers provide the funding for the majority of respondents (89%) with health insurance while the remaining 11% fund their insurance themselves.
Employer-paid health insurance did not appear to be a guarantee of better satisfaction with the service. According to this survey, self-funded respondents are statistically more satisfied with the service (63%), than those on employer-funded health insurance (62%), although the margins are very fine indeed.
Although over 80% of respondents with health insurance intend to renew their plans on expiration, about 60% of those on employer-funded insurance will do so only because it is required by their employer. If given the option, they state that they would cancel the plan or change to a different HMO.
- How Customers rate HMO services
The HMO with the highest number of enrolled respondents was Hygeia HMO Limited (23%). The main reason given by respondents for their choice of HMO was employer’s choice (50%).
Respondents indicated that the biggest advantage (45%) of using a HMO is the decreased out-of-pocket costs for medical treatment that arise as a result. The biggest disadvantage indicated was the restrictive nature of the services provided (23%).
Respondents also suggested ways through which HMOs could provide better services. These included increasing coverage of treatments/services provided, reduction in hospital waiting times, providing better quality drugs, follow-up care, routine check-up and better customer service…

Daniel Hajjar, Managing Principal, HOK??s London Studio reflects on the ‘Architect’s Pitch: Crossing Boundaries’ event held in collaboration with Archiboo at the London Festival of Architecture
Collaboration is an essential philosophy of design. As architects and designers, we have a role to play in how we can interpret a vision, help inform a brief or visually articulate a need. Collaborating with Amanda Baillieu Founder of Archiboo provided a refreshing opportunity to help support and showcase emerging talent. The theme Crossing Boundaries helped to navigate the many social conundrums that are sadly pressing needs in our society.
Reflecting on the event itself that we hosted at HOK??s London Studio, we welcomed the vibe and energy that engulfed our home. We saw competing practices and well-known architects engaged in discourse about design, this proved to be a great success. The participants some of whom were particularly energetic possessed an infectious energy and Studio Bark??s U-Build flatpack self-build particularly captured the audience??s imagination.
The winner of the People??s Vote, was insightful. The project, Brightbox by Unknown Works, which demonstrated a prototype for an off grid interconnected classroom, clinic and hub for communities without vital infrastructure, was very much mindful of societal need, once again illustrating how the future generations of designers are focusing on the greater good.
Welcoming the judges was an essential ingredient to the evening, as this introduced the commerciality of how we bring projects to fruition. The judges provided comments based upon experience of either being entrepreneurs or in the case of Nick Searl, an architect now working as a developer, gave an enlightened insight into the realism required to succeed.
The winner Tara Gbolade, gave a hugely energetic presentation and the iOS app, MyPart3 designed to help and inform architecture students on running projects and practices was credible. The collaboration with Archiboo illustrated to a diverse audience that design is a way in which we can cross boundaries, both societal and economic.

African Americans in Journalism
Three times a year, the editors of the Oxford African American Studies Center provide insights into black history and culture, showing ways in which the past and present interact by offering specially commissioned featured essays, photographic essays, and a selected list of articles that will further guide the reader. The latest Focus On article looks at the history of African Americans in journalism.
Ever since the first black newspapers were published in the nineteenth century, African American journalism has been synonymous with the struggle for civil rights. The contributions black journalists have made to the Fourth Estate as reporters, editors, publishers, photographers, broadcasters, commentators, and critics have been crucial in keeping Americans informed and upholding the promise of the First Amendment throughout the nation's history. This photo essay highlights the achievements of twelve journalists without whose achievements the black press and American journalism as a whole would not be the robust institutions they are today.
