Cruising through Oahu: Find a Scooter Rental in Waikiki
There are many forms of transportation on the island of Oahu, including a tour bus, rental car, Biki bicycle, moped, and even a scoot coupe. However, many travelers opt to utilize a full-day scooter rental in Waikiki, typically from the reputable guys and gals at Cruzin Hawaii. The island itself features approximately 110 miles of coastline and several of the world’s most alluring beaches. While lively Honolulu, prestigious Prince Waikiki, and sandy Waikiki Beach draw people in from all across the globe, there’s nothing wrong with desiring a little mid-day adventure during a long-awaited Hawaiian escape.
The Ideal Scooter Rental in Waikiki
As mentioned above, there are several ways to survey the island. Most notably, a scooter rental in Waikiki allows first-time visitors to freely motor between the mountains, along the coast, and through the heart of the state’s largest (and most beautiful) city. There’s nothing quite like cruising near the Pacific Ocean’s edge at 55 mph with the sun beaming down from above and the fragrant sea air blustering across traffic. A scooter is an idyllic choice for those aiming to traverse the island’s many visual highlights in just one day. Each scooter rental in Waikiki is superbly fuel-efficient, much speedier than a moped, and easier to operate than a motorcycle. The maneuverability is also an added perk for riders who still want to explore Kaka’ako, Downtown Honolulu, and Chinatown.
Rental Options near Prince Waikiki
Locating a quality scooter rental in Waikiki isn’t overly demanding, but it’s critical to weigh the options, especially if Cruzin Hawaii’s lot is empty during a peak season. While Cruzin Hawaii boasts the largest selection of scooters (as well as the best reviews), both Hawaiian Style Rentals and Diamond Head Mopeds could be a match for any type of mid-day adventure. The price of a scooter rental in Waikiki ranges from $65 to $119, depending on the style and length of the ride. Remember that a motorcycle license (or endorsement) is required to drive a scooter. Before jetting off into the island’s core, please gaze at Cruzin Hawai’s extensive “Where to Go” map. It includes stops at Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, Spitting Cave, Waimanalo Beach, Iolani Palace, and many more spectacular attractions.
The Best Hotels in Waikiki
After each full day of island exploration and adventure, return to Prince Waikiki for a gourmet dinner at 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar, a soak in the sumptuous infinity pool, and drinks at dusk inside the VIP Club Lounge. Prince Waikiki remains the top-rated hotel in Honolulu, according to TripAdvisor. The hotel is ideally situated near the world’s largest open-air shopping center, quintessential Honolulu nightlife, a lively Waikiki bar scene, and miles of pristine beach. To learn more about Prince’s offers, accommodations, and amenities, please call 1-855-622-7558.


2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS Review Specs Performance Model, Cost & Upcoming – I’ll begin with the previous, because that’s what Chevrolet particularly welcomed me to the example in the mountain tops of Malibu-but be confident, In addition, I worried the carmaker’s representatives about the second option. Chevy introduced Camaro key expert Al Oppenheiser to operate straight down some of the upgrades for 2020, starting up by speaking about how his team would like an all-natural collection that will provide something for everybody: a fowl in every single cooking pot, a Camaro in every single storage area. To obtain there, Chevy has been doing the typical invigorate job of cutting excess weight, updating the revocation, and incorporating technology like a rear vanity mirror camera.
The 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS cabin is immersive – and never always in an easy way. Close these large heavy doorways, and the high sills can make you truly feel like you’re seated serious inside the vehicle, with huge haunches and C-pillars obscuring very a little bit of rear exposure. New for ’19 is an accessible electronic rearview vanity mirror that should go a long way toward remedying these well-known blindspots. Even just in the convertible model, which includes a fairly tiny rear window opening up with the top up, turning the wall mirrors to electronic digital function offers a significantly-required improvement in assurance and situational understanding. The cabin, modest as it is colored and clip, is decently equipped save tough plastic-type on the transmission tunnel. Genuine aluminum clip wheels the instrument and door board.
But much more essential to muscle tissue car lovers is personality and performance, and the SS has remarkably able dynamics for a huge bore, entrance-engine car. Four customizable settings can vary the sound output, hushing it considerably in so-called Stealth mode, even though there’s a lovely bass note from the V8. The engine offers a ton of torquey gravitas, whilst the 10-velocity auto dispatches super sleek changes at what seems like just the proper time thanks to sets of rules particular to Sport and Keep track of settings.
Why 10 equipment? With the reduced equipment set up for firmer proportions, the transmission allows faster velocity and optimum use of the powerband, which peaks in horsepower and torque at 6,000 rpm and 4,400 rpm, correspondingly.
Track and Sport modes, the steering-wheel paddles are tuned for performance; hold the down paddle for 1.25 seconds and the gearbox leapfrogs down the cogs, even shifting from 10th to 3rd in order to maximize the engine’s sweet spot. The so-known as left foot items maintain functionality contains the items in the course of throttle liftoff, and the transmission’s coding seems user-friendly and user-friendly in the course of high-pace driving, providing sleek, additional fast changes, specifically as the analog tach needle methods the 6,500 rpm redline. Raise away among 3,000 and 5,000 rpm in Sport or Keep track of function, and a beautiful cacophony of burbles and pops fills up the cabin. Release control allows to 60 miles per hour sprints in a stated 4 secs level, whilst the handbook needs .3 much more mere seconds of persistence. The motor spins at only 1,300 rpm at 60 mph, and its cylinder deactivation system suggests the usual gas-guzzling V8 assumptions do not apply, even though Chevrolet doesn’t have official fuel economy figures yet.
Maybe the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS largest big surprise emerged on the twisty roadways that snake from Pacific Shoreline Highway by means of Malibu’s going mountains. My initially go arrived on a press drive prepared by Chevrolet, in which 50 approximately MLS of highway and canyon driving have been devoured easily. My Magnet Journey Control-prepared tester glided effortlessly above ridges and bumps, and body control experienced outstanding at raised rates; the alternative is really worth the $1,695 requested price.
I wasn’t able to fully grasp the SS’s performance envelope until I took a Camaro home and revisited the canyon roads later that week, tackling the twisties with more stick. Piloting the Camaro via winding expands of Latigo Canyon Street in between PCH and Kanan Dume Highway at pace needs a vital step of trust. In spite of the recognized volume of the Camaro and a 110.7 ” wheelbase, there’s a huge grasp at convert-in and the chassis is communicative sufficient to promote outstanding entrance rates. Four-piston Brembo braking system offers you fairly excellent really feel and robust halting strength. Much more remarkable: My 7 days-extended loaner was a convertible, impressively sensitive for a car without any set roof structure to stiffen it up.
Right after 7 days and lots of 100 kilometers, my 10-velocity automatic 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS practical experience kept me with small criticisms and very a little bit of fulfillment. Gripes? Properly, the little plastic material paddles are steering-wheel attached, and the relatively slow-moving-ish directing proportion implies that personally actuated changes at reduced rates of speed can occur although biceps and triceps are crossed above. Regardless of the help of the digital looking glass, rearward exposure continues to does not have. And even though interior top quality has increased by bounds and leaps above earlier models, my properly-prepared $54,170 loaner looked much more centered on its highway manners and showing off personality than cabin materials high quality. On the contrary, the new infotainment system’s 8-” touchscreen provides a fairly easy-to-use, delay-totally free user interface, whilst considerate information consists of the huge HVAC air vents with knurled temperatures control dials about the opportunities.
2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS Price & Release Date
“Right here are a couple of pictures of my storage area,” he gushed, revealing cell phone snaps of his multiple-generational stash of Camaros, including the crown jewel, a lovingly repaired and beautiful 1968 SS convertible. So, he knows muscle. And the 2019 SS ($37,000) is a big-displacement beast stalking the land that turbochargers neglected. We’re chatting 6.2 liters of bubbly and growly, normally aspirated V8 strength generating a stout 455 hp and 455 lb-feet. You will find, you can set the mighty mill with a traditional-designed handbook transmission.


Many southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois residents may have experienced something other than rain falling from the skies early Thursday afternoon. It wasn’t snow, although wasn’t too far from it, and it wasn’t hail or sleet. It was actually graupel. Graupel isn’t a new weather phenomenon, but it isn’t one that we experience all too often either.
A strong, and cold, low-pressure system over the northern Great Lakes will continue to filter in an unseasonably cold air mass across the Midwest. This was felt Thursday afternoon when temperatures stayed in the 40s and wind chills were down in the 30s! Scattered rain showers developed as the cloud cover moved in during the late morning and early afternoon, but it wasn’t all rain that occurred. Temperatures were cold enough just a few thousand feet above the surface to allow for the development of graupel. Graupel is different from hail in both the way it forms and looks.
Snowflakes that formed in the clouds way above the surface fell through a layer in the atmosphere where there were supercooled water droplets. These are water droplets that are in an environment where the air temperature is below freezing, but the droplets haven’t frozen – they are in a pure form, not freezing onto any dust or other particles in the atmosphere (known as condensation nuclei). When the snowflakes are introduced into this layer the water droplets freeze, or rime, on to the snowflakes forming tiny, white pellets that often times resemble small hail. However, graupel is softer than hail.
The scattered rain showers from earlier in the day have ended, but a chilly rain is set to move in Friday evening. Most of the weekend is looking pretty dry.

Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Obama gave a speech to the Nation about the debt ceiling. He said, I won't bore you with the details of every plan or proposal. Mr. Speaker, I say please bore us with the details.
The House passed the Cut, Cap, and Balance plan that prevents a national bankruptcy by modestly cutting spending, capping the size of government, and advocating a balanced budget amendment to force Congress to act responsibly. In contrast, the President gives fine speeches, yet fails to submit a single written plan to balance the budget that can be evaluated by the American people.
Mr. Speaker, I say bore us with the details. Washington's spending binge has put America $14 trillion in debt.
America's future is at risk. Congress welcomes written detailed solutions to Washington's spending binge from the President.
Mr. Speaker, I reiterate, please bore us with the details. America has a right to hear them. President Obama has a duty to deliver them.

The team members will return to Colorado Springs for training camp June 7-15, before departing for the competition in Spain.
United States head coach Jill Ellis will have undoubtedly been pleased to see her outfit bounce back from successive defeats to England and France at the She Believes Cup in March, while Russia have now lost their last four games in a row.
Russia have every reason to seek redemption, too, as they continue their preparation for this summer's UEFA Women's Championship in July, putting the Stars and Stripes on alert in terms of the competition they can expect. ETVenue: BBVA Compass Stadium, Houston, Texas Live Stream: Watch ESPN (U. S.) Having suffered just one defeat over the course of 2016, Ellis' United States team had plenty to expect of what 2017 might yield, but back-to-back losses at the She Believes Cup last month gave the team a startling pull back to reality.
Read on for a preview of Sunday's showdown at the BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas, complete with viewing information and fixture details. A run of seven wins in succession was brought to an end in almighty style as the US women's national team failed to score once against England or France before restoring some confidence against Russia on Friday.
In a display of what the Americans can produce at their flying best, Dunn and Long's braces topped off a clean victory for the United States, who dispatched the Russians without much sign of a fightback: It helped the hosts' case that star Russian midfielder Elena Morozova was taken off with injury after just 16 minutes, and it's unclear as of yet as to whether she'll play any part in the repeat at BBVA Compass Stadium.
“Many of these players have USA Basketball experience from last year – from trials or from the U16 national team, and we hope that helps raise the level of competition for everyone.” The invitee’s roster includes all 12 players who helped USA Basketball to a bronze medal at the 2015 FIBA Americas U16 Championship this past summer, including: Jayda Adams (Mater Dei H.

Inspired by her creative and nameable environment around the DJ and producer collective Jazzanova Eva Be started to play records at the age of 18. A bit later she became a constant member of famous Sonarkollektiv. Her debut album “Moving Without Travelling”, heavily inspired by Eva Be’s long lasting love for Dub and Reggae attracted a lot attention. Not to mention the well-known features such as Fat Freddy’s Drop’s Joe Dukie, Sugar B and the German-Iranian singer and actor Pegah Ferydoni.
Thereupon the British jazz magazine “Straight No Chaser” elected her “Berlin’s Rising Star”. Multitudinous remixes for established artists like Recloose, Micatone, Ye:Solar, Markus Enochson and Tolcha followed. Since 2007 Eva Be’s musical focus changed and she explored a more electronic terrain that can be traced on releases like “New Crack” or the remix for Sahin Meyer’s “World Cup of The Future” (both on Best Works Records).
Her productions and DJ sets are well known over the German boarder as well. But the centre of her creativity is and always will be Berlin. And so you can find Eva Be in the city’s second living rooms like Watergate, Tresor, Cookies, //aboutblank, Weekend or WMF.

What is morning sickness?
Before your pregnancy, you probably imagined that when you woke up in the morning, you’d be nauseous, throw up and then go on with your day. Well...not so much. Whoever decided to call it “morning sickness” was probably sleeping through the day, because this nausea doesn’t discriminate between the morning, afternoon or evening.
What are the signs of morning sickness?
Nausea and vomiting -- of course -- early in pregnancy.
Are there any tests for morning sickness?
If you’re losing significant weight or can’t keep anything down, those may be signs of a more serious problem, so talk to your doctor.
How common is morning sickness?
Common! Experts think anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of pregnant women get morning sickness.
How did I get morning sickness?
There’s no clear answer as to why nausea occurs during pregnancy, although it’s believed that it’s due to hormonal changes (that seems to be the answer to everything these days). Generally, the nausea isn’t too overwhelming, and by midpregnancy, you should be mostly relieved of it. But if your nausea and vomiting are excessive, talk to your doctor, because it may be hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare severe form of morning sickness that results in a poor intake of fluids and food (and a hungry baby).
How will my morning sickness affect my baby?
Morning sickness can be dangerous for both you and baby if you’re losing more than 10 percent of your baseline weight or if you’re unable to keep down even sips of water.

Across the country communities are celebrating the centenary of women’s suffrage.
In 1918 women over thirty were given the right to vote for the first time in British history.
This momentous victory was only achieved through the courage and sacrifice of a group of women known as the Suffragettes.
Suffrage in South East London
South East London played a pivotal role in this movement and to commemorate this, Lewisham Library are exhibiting a specially curated collection, focusing on leading figures from the area.
Local Studies Librarian Julie Robinson explained that the aim of the exhibition was to highlight the very active role women in Lewisham and Deptford played in the Suffrage campaign.
Rosa May Billinghurst
Rosa May Billinghurst was born in Lewisham and lived in Blackheath.
As a child she survived polio which left her unable to walk; as an adult she used a modified tricycle as a wheelchair.
However, her disabilities didn’t stop her from becoming a militant campaigner for the Suffragettes.
In 1907 she became a member of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), later founding the Greenwich branch of the WSPU.
On 18th November 1910, 300 women marched to the Houses of Parliament a part of their campaign for votes for women.
The day became known as Black Friday due to the violence inflicted on the protestors.
Women were assaulted both physically and sexually by the police and male by bystanders.

During the demonstrations Billinghurst would place her crutches on both sides of her tricycle and would charge any opposition.
However she was not immune from the violence meted out on the Suffragettes that day.
Police reportedly exploited her disability by letting the air out of her wheelchair tyres, leaving her stranded within the hostile protests.
St Catherine’s Church Fire
In May 1913 St Catherine’s Church, Hatcham, New Cross was almost completely destroyed by fire.
At the time it was rumoured to be caused by the hand of the Suffragettes, who were using arson as a weapon in their campaigns.
While no one was ever convicted of causing the blaze, investigators found a copy of the Suffragette newspaper and a box of matches in the church’s organ.

Dedicated to those who campaigned tirelessly for over 50 years to achieve votes for women, the exhibition features iconic objects from the Museum’s vast Suffragette collection, including Emmeline Pankhurst’s hunger strike medal. At the heart of the display is a powerful, newly commissioned film that reflects on the contemporary relevance of the militant campaign that continues to inspire, shock and divide opinion.

The doctors at Pittsburgh Upper Cervical Chiropractic focus on finding and correcting the cause of your condition, not just treating your symptoms.
For every effect or symptom, there must be a cause. Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a specific form of health care focusing on the relationship between the top two bones in the neck (upper cervical spine) and a vital portion of the nervous system (brain stem). Every nerve impulse between the brain and the body must pass through the brain stem. Because the nervous system controls, coordinates, and regulates every function (immune, digestion, hormones, muscle tension, posture, emotions, senses, balance, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.) within the body, this communication pathway (brain-to-body and body-to-brain) must be working at an optimal level in order for you to function properly and be healthy. Irritation or pressure within the central nervous system can interrupt this communication pathway, thus creating a variety of health problems.

On November the 22nd- 23rd twofold world champion of the world solar challenge (2013 and 2015) Stella Lux family solar car visited Austin. TU Eindhoven's successful solar team teamed up with the solar team of the University of Texas in Austin, who build solar car TexSun, to showcase both solar powered cars in the smart city capital of the world. The visit of the TU Eindhoven solar team was part of strong ties between GSC3 partnership and PIB, the NBSO-Texas, The University of Texas in Austin and NXP.
After unloading the cars from big trucks and picking up Mayor Adler at City Hall, Stella Lux and TexSun formed a remarkable convoy through the city of Austin. After this ride, both cars where showcased at the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, which attracted a big crowd. In the meantime, those who were interested had the ability to listen to very interesting lecture on the development of solar cars by prof. Gary Hallock, the mentor of the solar team in Austin. This lecture was followed by a very interesting presentation of Mitchell Jacobson, the Co-Director of ATI Clean Energy Incubator, who told the team all about funding and mentoring for technical start-ups by an incubator.
The Stella Lux sounds amazing, right? According to the proud solar team she is:
"She is intelligent, she is comfortable and she can drive from Eindhoven to Paris and back again, on
one single charge. Im talking here about the car of the future.
We bring Solar Mobility closer to society and its people. Therefore we make R&D Prototypes. Our
very first prototype was Stella. Now, Stella is made of the most advanced technologies which made
the impossible possible: Stella is World’s First Solar Powered Family car. She is designed in such an
efficient way that instead of using energy, she produces energy. This means that you are
independent of the energy grid and that you do not have to fuel or charge your car no longer.
That is what we do, We are Solar Team Eindhoven and we build a world where Solar Mobility is
reality. And we continue this path. Stella Lux was built and tested in the World Solar Challenge 2013.
A car that can drive 1000 km on one single charge. Now, you can take your electric car to a holiday"

Law360, New York (June 12, 2013, 6:52 PM ET) — New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner on Wednesday unveiled a 34-member committee of judges and attorneys from some of the state’s most prominent firms that will explore ways to make civil lawsuits in the state less time-consuming.
Rabner formally announced the formation of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Expedited Civil Actions, which will be co-chaired by Camden Vicinage Assignment Judge Faustino J. Fernandez-Vina and attorney Thomas R. Curtin, a founding member of New Jersey law firm Graham Curtin.
“Our goal is to achieve speedier justice at a lower cost without sacrificing due process and fairness to litigants,” Rabner said in a statement.
The committee will advise the state Supreme Court on the types of cases that may be appropriate for an expedited civil process, pretrial procedures and trial practices to speed up civil actions, and incentives for plaintiff and defense attorneys to actually use the program, according to Rabner. The panel will also mull what sort of case management and court rule changes could be necessary.
The committee includes current and retired judges and attorneys from both sides of the courtroom.
Some of the members are Essex County Superior Court Judge Dennis F. Carey; Brown & Connery LLP partner William M. Tambussi; Christine A. Amalfe, who is chair of the employment and labor law department at Gibbons PC; Kenneth G. Andres Jr. of the medical malpractice and personal injury firm Andres & Berger PC; state Appellate Division Judge Paulette Sapp-Peterson; and Jeffrey J. Greenbaum, who chairs the class action practice group at Sills Cummis & Gross PC.
Rabner announced plans for the committee during the state bar association’s convention in May, but the panel’s roster beyond Fernandez-Vina and Curtin was unknown at the time.
“We need to improve the pretrial process in a way that enables citizens to have their day in court and proceed to trial more promptly, that makes litigation more affordable and reduces the cost of discovery, and that enables judges to oversee cases more effectively and expeditiously at a time of strained resources,” Rabner said during a speech at the convention.
Courts nationwide have experimented with new rules and procedures to address the complexity and cost of pretrial proceedings, according to Rabner. For example, a Colorado pilot program that covers a range of civil cases with claims of $100,000 or less provides for automatic disclosures three weeks after complaints and answers, a single judge to oversee the case for all purposes, limits on expert reports and discovery, and early dates for motions and trials, he said.
Other projects limit interrogatories, requests for production and admissions, and the depositions for each party, while others cap expert testimony, according to Rabner. He also noted limits on the overall length of trials and their component parts.
“Some approaches may seem far-fetched at first blush, others a welcome change,” Rabner told attorneys. “I mention them for one reason only: to stimulate discussion about how we might improve the civil justice process in a way that makes sense for lawyers and litigants in New Jersey.”
Other members of the committee are Judge Allison Accurso, Judge Peter F. Bariso Jr., Cynthia J. Birkitt, Judge Frank A. Buczynski Jr., retired Judge John J. Coyle, Michael Critchley, Judge Heidi Willis Currier, Kelly R. Dalmass, Russell Deyo, Judge David H. Ironson, John E. Keefe Jr., Philip J. Kirchner, Eric Kuper, Michael J. Marone, Judge Eugene J. McCaffrey Jr., Maryann O’Donnell McCoy, Judge Ann McDonnell, William Mergner, Mollie K. O’Brien, Judge Robert L. Polifroni, L. Patricia Sampoli, John J. Sarno, Judge Deborah Silverman Katz, Jeffrey D. Smith, Stephen Weinstein and retired Judge Alvin Weiss.

If you rob a vehicle carrying cash in England, there’s a good chance these days you’re going to be a marked man or woman – in the literal sense – thanks to a Long Island company.
Money being carried to and from financial institutions and other destinations has long been a moving target in England, in part due to that country’s regulations. Security guards protecting cash in England aren’t allowed to carry weapons, unlike in the United States where armed guards protect cash. Even vehicles in England tend to be smaller, due to narrower streets, making them sitting ducks.
But rather than using bullets, English firms increasingly are turning to a new weapon, DNA-marked money provided by Stony Brook-based Applied DNA Science to trace stolen cash to thieves.
Applied DNA today said it had authenticated evidence in 35 cases for various police forces in the United Kingdom, leading to 13 convictions with three more cases awaiting trial.
In one case in England, Applied DNA and police were able to link 23 robberies in which over 300,000 British pounds were stolen.
“DNA is the only true forensic marker that can help to put criminals away for a long time,” said Richard “Bo” Dietl, chairman of Manhattan-based security firm Beau Dietl & Associates, in a written statement. He called DNA markers “a smarter way of deterring cash crimes.”
Although DNA has long been used to link or exonerate suspects, Applied DNA’s technology is showing signs of acceptance and success as a new financial fingerprint.
Applied DNA recently won some recognition in the United Kingdom for its innovative use of DNA to improve the effectiveness of policing.
The firm and the Lancashire Constabulary won the Excellence in Policing Award from the National Policing Improvement Agency in the United Kingdom.
They were cited for using DNA marked money in obtaining convictions of criminals who shot and wounded a security guard during a robbery of a Loomis Security van carrying cash in Lancashire in December 2008.
Five defendants were convicted and jailed for more than 60 years collectively after being linked to the crime by DNA-marked money.
Ink laced with special “signature” DNA explodes on stolen cash, tainting money that can be linked to crimes.
“The arsenal of forensic DNA capabilities that are being used on a daily basis should send a very strong message to criminals,” said Tony Benson, risk director for Loomis UK. “If you rob Loomis, you will get caught and go to jail for a long time.”
Although DNA-marked money may not be a magic bullet when it comes to preventing or solving crimes, it’s being deployed in England, in particular, because of an epidemic of these crimes.
In 2009, 17.1 million British pounds or $27.25 million based on today’s exchange rate, were stolen during 1,060 cash and valuables robberies, accounting for 75.5 percent of such robberies globally, according to Applied DNA.
“The whole business of how cash is transported is very different,” Applied DNA spokeswoman Janice Meraglia said. “Our application partnered with them very well. People here don’t very often approach armored trucks.”
She said in England, apprehension became a key part of the prevention strategy since guards don’t carry weapons.
Applied DNA CEO James Hayward said his firm’s customers reported 49 percent reductions in losses during a time period when the cash-in-transit industry’s losses nationwide in the United Kingdom slipped only 35 percent.
Companies in Sweden also are using Applied DNA’s markers and the Swedish national police plan to use DNA to investigate cases, according to the firm.
Leif Svensson, chief security officer at Arlanda and Bromma airports in Sweden, in a written statement, said deployment of the technology will “definitely hamper and prevent serious crime.”
Anders Burén, head of police operations for the Swedish National Police, said Swedish law enforcement’s attitude is “very positive about this DNA forensic system.”
Even if DNA marked money is catching on across the Atlantic, it hasn’t caught on with the cash-in-transit industry in the United States.
That’s in part because of the smaller scale of cash-in-transit robberies, due to increased security.
But Meraglia said her firm is in talks with companies that could turn would-be cash-in-transit robbers into marked men and women.
“Those are the conversations we’re engaged in,” she said. “It’s a whole different business model here. But European customers are talking to their U.S. counterparts.”

...In practice, the only GM crop currently available to EU farmers for cultivation is the GM maize resistant to insects, commonly known as Bt maize (James 2011). On the teritory of Serbia, the number of positive maize samples varied from 12% in 2006 year, to 14.5% in 2008, with the amount of GM mostly below 0.9%, except for two samples with the content above 0.9%, in 2006 (Nikolić & Vujaković 2011). In 2009, we continued to test maize and products derived from maize. The samples analysed did not contain CaMV35s promoter and, therefore, did not contain any of the GM maize authorised in the EU.
No GM rice variety has been listed as authorised or risk-evaluated in Europe but a risk exists that the imports of rice into the EU are contaminated with non authorised GM rice (Vogel 2008). In this paper, we analysed samples of rice mostly originating from EU countries: Italy and Bulgaria, as well as from Thailand, where labelling the products containing more then 5% for is mandatory. None of the analysed samples of rice and rice products contained GM rice.
EU member states are responsible for the import controls at its borders and for the prevention of placing on the market shipments contaminated by genetic modification. In addition, they should implement the control of the products on the market, to ensure that they are GM-free. Considering that the investigated samples were imported mainly from EU countries, it can be concluded that the control of GMOs is carried out systematically and in accordance with the Law.
Based on our results, in order to protect the consumers and their concern about the quality of food that they consume, it would be advisable to continue with the control of all of the imported ingredients and food products by the authorities responsible for the food chain.

Small grocers are calling for an immediate price cap on fresh fruit and vegetables in supermarkets as the cost continues to soar.
- Small food retailers say they are absorbing price increases for fresh produce
- Major retailers warn it will be weeks before fruit and veg prices fall
- Consumers are encouraged to buy local to save money
Monique Lunn runs a fresh produce store at her family’s mushroom farm in Ballarat, Victoria, and said they were running at a loss to ensure people weren’t deprived of prices to feed their families healthy food .
“[Supply] is really hard, but I’m lucky and will buy local first if I can.
“Unfortunately in Victoria during the winter we have to source produce from Queensland, which has been hit by floods, as we simply don’t have the temperature to produce the volume for our population.”
short term sacrifice
Ms Lunn said selling high-demand products at cost was an ethical short-term measure until supply caught up with demand.
“But now lettuce has gone up again, so what I’ve found is that a lot of my customers have switched to buying cos lettuce.
“Cos lettuce is a slightly cheaper option for people if they find the iceberg is getting too expensive and we sell twin packs of cos lettuce for $4.”
Woolworths this week announced a price freeze on certain “essential items”, such as pasta, bacon and frozen peas.
Ms Lunn said that if supermarkets were unwilling to make similar sacrifices on their profit margins for fresh produce, the federal government would have to step in, in the same way as energy prices were capped this month.
“I think there might be a kind of plateau, especially at times like this,” she said.
“Right now, the price of vegetables is well and truly out of reach.”
Wayne Shields of Peninsula Fresh Organics sells his lettuce privately and in large supermarkets, and has kept prices stable throughout the lettuce shortage.
“We’ve been crushed and that’s fine in a way, but we’re trying to read the play and understand where the organic industry is going,” he said.
“The conventional side has been hit by flooding in Queensland and East Gippsland [and] labor shortages and farmers are tired of selling produce below the cost of production. »
In the March quarter of this year, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed a sharp increase in fruit and vegetable prices of 5.8% and a 4.8% increase in meat and seafood prices. sea.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture said that due to the perishable nature of fruits and vegetables, prices were sensitive to supply-side shocks such as floods.
“In normal times, fruit and vegetable prices tend to recover relatively quickly,” the spokesperson said.
“However, there are a range of inflationary pressures in the fruit and vegetable supply chain, including rising fertilizer and fuel costs and continued labor shortages in a tight labor market.
“ABARES [Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences] predicts that in 2022-2023, farm gate prices [the prices that farmers receive] cereals, oilseeds and pulses will increase by about 10%, fruit and vegetable prices by 5%”.
The department did not respond to questions from the ABC about potential price caps on supermarket profits on fresh produce, and a Woolworths spokesperson said there were no plans to include the fresh produce in the firm’s price freeze.

Commercial E- waste management: Role of industry and Government
Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal are also considered e-waste. E-Waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. E-wastes are considered dangerous, as certain components of some electronic products. E-waste is a newly born waste which came into existence in early 19th century with the invention of radio and telephones and increased exponentially in early 21st century. With the rapid growth of electronic and IT industries it has become the fastest growing waste of the modern and industrialized world. Today E-waste has become one of the most concerned and serious problem to the surrounding and mass health mostly because of unscientifically disposal of these waste, or in other words “Informal recycling process”. E-waste contains toxic and hazardous substance which may lead to severe health risk and environmental damage. Any electrical substance whose life time has ended and which cannot be repaired further can be termed as E-waste. This paper represents a review on E-Waste management measure to be taken by the government and people also for the proper management of disposal and for eco-friendly development.

Authentic Community Theatre hopes to invoke thought and change through 'Rent'
The musical “Rent” is set in New York’s East Village in the 1990s during the time of the AIDS epidemic. But its themes of struggle, addiction, threat of impending death, and the importance of love, respect and friendship are not unfamiliar to those living today in Washington County and the surrounding area.
That’s part of the reason Authentic Community Theatre decided to bring “Rent” to the stage at The Maryland Theatre. The show will run Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23.
ACT President Robbie Soto said in considering productions for the current season, “Rent” was “at the top of the list.”
“We are dealing with a huge drug problem in our area,” he said. “It’s really important to me as president of the organization to do shows that are not only about going out and having a good time, but we are hoping to invoke thought and change in people.”
ACT is partnering with Washington County Goes Purple, Soto said, with a portion of proceeds from “Rent” ticket sales pledged to the substance abuse awareness program. ACT offers classes and camps for children and teens in the community and sometimes sees first-hand the toll addiction takes on families, he said. Some students who take classes have parents or other family members who are dealing with addiction and recovery.
“We see how hard this can be on a young person. We want to be a part of getting to young people before addiction happens, or combatting this by talking to and educating young people before it begins,” Soto said. “We want to do what we can to raise awareness and to be a part of that fight.”
Soto, 29, of Greencastle, Pa., is directing the show and portraying the role of Tom Collins. Natasha Smith is choreographer and Stephen Pompa is musical director.
As part of its preparation, ACT’s “Rent” cast took part in a master class with Tony winner Wilson Jermaine Heredia, who appeared in the original Broadway production of “Rent” and in the 2005 film. ACT hosted the class in December at its facility on Florida Avenue in Hagerstown.
“Rent,” which is loosely based on Puccini’s “La boheme,” follows a year in the life of a group of friends and the struggles they go through individually and together. As director, Soto chose to establish roughly a year-long rehearsal schedule to impart to the cast a sense of dynamic relationships that develop over a period of time.
“(The show) is about not dwelling on what the future could be. It’s about focusing on living in the moment,” Soto said.
ACT veteran Kristen Davis, 23, of Hagerstown, plays the role of Maureen Johnson, a performance artist whom Davis describes as “over the top and eccentric.”
“Maureen is very concerned with social justice. Her character is weird and fun to get into,” Davis said. “She is definitely much more ‘outside the box’ than me. It’s been fun to force myself out of my bubble and be kind of crazy.”
Davis, a dance teacher, said a tragedy in her own life helped inspire her role in “Rent.” One of her young students passed away unexpectedly at just 13 in a car accident during the rehearsal process.
“That really hit home for me,” she said. “It helped me step into the show and made it real. It’s very tragic, but it also helps me to portray the character the way that she needs to be portrayed.”
Chad-Michael Gilbert, 24, of Hagerstown who plays the role of Angel, said the show reveals painful aspects of what real life is for a lot of people, including people in the Hagerstown area.
“We are not wearing goofy costumes. We are real-life characters. We show what is life day to day for a lot of people,” he said. “We are trying to bring awareness to people of what the extremes can be. There are homeless, junkies, gays, lesbians, all walks of life. This is a show that exists for everybody. It is raw and it really wakes up the brain.”
Rainelle Jochum, 26, of Westminster, Md., portrays Joanne Jefferson, a character unlike many of the others in “Rent” in that she comes from a strong family and has a Harvard education and financial resources. She does not need to interact with the other characters for socio-economic reasons, but does so because of her complicated relationship with Maureen.
The production is Jochum’s second turn in “Rent.” She performed in the show once before as an ensemble member, and connects with its rock opera style as well as its themes.
“The show helps to shine a light and hold a mirror,” she said. “Just being able to take an honest look at things like the problem of opioid addiction can help. When you have more awareness you can begin to try and fix it.”

Have you doubled your baby's dose of vitamin D this fall?
Confused about how to find the trans in your fats? While Canada is the first country in the world to require nutrition labels identifying the amount of trans fats in foods, you won't always find a label on prepared or restaurant foods. But knowing which foods are the biggest culprits is the first step to avoiding trans fats. The second is knowing which oils to avoid. Just because an oil sounds healthy (canola, vegetable...) doesn't make it trans free. If the fat in your food is "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated," that means it has trans fats.

As global HR leaders and numerous studies will tell you, the cornerstone to building the strongest team is building the most diverse team – one that runs the spectrum of personal experiences and perspectives. Yet, contrary to popular belief, diversity isn’t solely about hiring a variety of ethnicities and cultures – it’s about age, too.
In 2018, we have five generations working in the same offices, each with their own views about what makes a great team member. Naturally, each generation has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to the workplace and it’s very human for one generation to criticize another for what they perceive to be the other’s weakness. However, if we take a closer view, we can learn that each generation brings a very valuable perspective and set of skills to the table.
In this session, YapStone’s Chief People Officer, Deb Tenenbaum, will explore the multi-generational workplace and how forward-thinking human resource professionals can tap the power of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and Generation Z, as they fulfill the company’s core mission.

Our thoughts go out to the family of the poor soldier who lost his life in Woolwich yesterday, and a reminder that we cannot let the actions of 2 disgusting, vile pricks warp our view of your neighbours and colleagues.
Nothing can justify the deeds of these horrible people, nor can any actions taking on any religious buildings or communities. We must stand together as a sign of solidarity to prove to those who would divide us that they have no chance.
TOGETHER WE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

In a production update, the Anglo-Australian company said it has shipped a record 90m tonnes of the steel-making ingredient during the three months to December, up from 85.8m tonnes in the previous quarter.
As a result, the company will meet its goal of exporting 330m tonnes from its mines in the Pilbara region of western Australia in 2017, something that had looked in doubt for much of the year because of poor weather and problems with its rail system.
Rio also revealed its had received an average price of almost $65 a a tonne for its iron ore in 2017, a result that will fuel expectations of further cash returns to shareholders.
“The business performed well in the fourth quarter, and we finished the year in line with guidance across all major products,” said Rio’s chief executive Jean-Sébastien Jacque. “We shipped 90m tonnes of iron ore from our world-class Pilbara assets, a record quarter which demonstrates the system’s growing flexibility.”
Rio also said its Oyu Tolgoi copper operation in Mongolia had been hit with a $155m tax demand, which it was assessing.
The company said the record fourth quarter performance of its Australian iron ore business reflected “ongoing productivity improvements” to its rail network, which links its mines to export terminals and ports on the coast.
In a bid to improve the efficiency of its 1,700km rail system – the biggest privately owned and operated network in the country – Rio is introducing a fleet of autonomous trains, a project that is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2018.
“The automation of the Pilbara train system continues to make strong progress with greater than 60 per cent of all train kilometres now completed in autonomous mode with a driver on board for supervision,” the company said.
Monday’s update also showed Rio had produced almost 150,000 tonnes of copper in the final three months of 2017, up 23 per cent from the previous quarter. Production and shipment guidance for 2018 was unchanged from the estimates provided at a recent investor day.
The strong end to the year will fuel expectations that Rio will shower shareholders with more cash when it files annual results early next month. Last year, the company returned 40 per cent of all the cash it generated to shareholders. That equated to more than $6bn.
Iron ore is currently trading at $76.50 a tonne, supported by Chinese steel mills looking to buy high quality Australian material to boost the output of their blast furnaces. At that level, Rio and rival BHP Billiton will be making fat margins on every tonne they produce. At the recent investor day, Rio said it was producing iron ore at a cash cost of $13.80 a tonne.
Shares in Rio have climbed 20 per cent over the past six months to a seven-year high above £40. Strong global growth has created the strongest backdrop for commodity prices since the financial crisis and investors are returning to the mining sector.

A Quick Primer on North American Model Railroading Gauge and Scales
Generally North American, European, Great Britain, Japan, and Australia railroad modeling communities each maintain their own standards. For now let’s focus on the Standards applicable to the North American community.
Gauge is the distance between the rails the train runs on. Basically, stability increases with gauge. Narrow gauges are cheaper and faster to build than Broad gauges, while the Broad gauges are able to handle heavier and faster traffic. In reality there are many different regional gauges in use around the world, but for practicality the North American modeling community recognizes 5 gauges:
Universal Standard Gauge (1435.1 mm)
3 1/2 ft/Meter (1066.8 mm – 1000.0 mm)
3 ft (914.4 mm), 2 1/2 ft (914.0 mm)
2 1/2 ft (762.0 mm)
2 ft (609.6 mm).
Scale is the ratio of the model dimension to the prototype. The National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) standards use letters to differential the scales between 1:20.3 through 1:220 for the North America model railroading community.
F indicates a 1:20.32 scale to the prototype
H indicates a 1:24 scale to the prototype
O indicates a 1:48 scale to the prototype
S indicates a 1:64 scale to the prototype
HO indicates a 1:87.1 scale to the prototype
TT indicates a 1:160 scale to the prototype
N indicates a 1:220 scale to the prototype
Since there is effectively 5 possible prototype gauges, narrow gauges are designated with a n42, n3, n30, or n2 subscript. For example; O refers to a 1:48 scale model with a Universal Standard Gauge prototype gauge, while On30 refers to a 1:48 scale model with a 3 ft prototype gauge.
No subscript indicates a Universal Standard Gauge Prototype gauge
n42 indicated 3 1/2 ft or Meter Prototype gauge
n3 indicated 3 ft Prototype gauge
n30 indicated 2 1/2 ft Prototype gauge
n2 indicated 2 ft Prototype gauge
Unless you are modeling a specific rail line or era you’re probably going to stick with a Universal Standard Gauge prototype.
Another scale variant is the minimum curve. The minimum radius to navigate a curve is determined by the trucks. O-27 refers to O scale equipment that requires a minimum radium of 27 inches to navigate a curve without binding or derailing.
Additionally you may have heard about Standard Gauge, #1 Gauge or G Gauge/Scale.
Not to be confused with Universal Standard Gauge, which itself is not universal, is Lionel’s Standard Gauge. Lionel’s Standard Gauge was the first formal model railroading standard (patented 1906). Standard Gauge uses 2 1/4 inch (53.975 mm) gauge track along with a 1:26.58 scale. Similarly, Wide gauge used a 2 1/4 inch gauge with a slightly smaller 1:28.25 scale to avoid the Lionel patent.
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 Gauge or Gauge 1-6 were first introduced by Marklin at the 1891 Leipzig Toy Fair and established as community model railroading standards in the August 1909 issue of Model Railways and Locomotive magazine. The scales #0 (today O) and H0 (today HO) derive from these standards. Since most of the Meter Prototype track wasn’t laid until the rebuilding of Europe following WWII, the Gauge 1-6 uses a Standard Gauge prototype. #1 Gauge is a 1;32 scale model on a 45 mm gauge, #2 Gauge is 1:29 scale on 50.4 mm gauge, and #3 Gauge is 1:22.5 on 63.5 gauge. Remember that for later.
After WWI the larger gauges were rendered commercially obsolete by the Depression and the miniaturization of electric motors to the point that electrically powered O and HO scale models became possible. These smaller scales were also cheaper to manufacture and required less room to operate.
Which brings us to G Gauge. G is not an actual standard, it is a marketing term. Instead of G referring to a constant scale, G refers to any model railroad equipment that runs on the 45 mm gauge, regardless of scale. Many manufacturers have multiple product lines with different scales marketed under the G name so scale compatibility needs to be researched if that sort of thing bothers you.
The best explanation (to me) of G that I have found is a very well written article from Rick Henderson from pcrails.com concerning what he called the 5 faces (or was it facets) of G. Unfortunately it appears the pcrails.com site has been abandoned as of 2015 and the links to past article return a 404 Not Found Error. What follows is a brief summary:
The 5 faces of G refers to the 5 most common commercially suported scales used on 45mm gauge track, and a theory about how G became a common gauge reference instead of a common scale reference.
The first face of G is the original G scale was LGB’s 1:22.5 first introduced in the 1960’s. As a previous manufacturer of both #1 Gauge and #3 Gauge, LGB would of had access to the equipment and plans for producing 1:22.5 scale stock and 45 mm track. Combine the two and you get the correct 45 mm scale for a meter gauge prototype.
Face number 2? As other manufactures began to note the popularity of LGB’s G Scale, eventually #1 Gauge is revived which just happens to be the correct 45 mm scale for a Universal Standard gauge prototype. Rather than attempt to market another gauge, #1 Gauge manufacturers just marketed thier products as G to take advantage of LGB’s G product popularity.
Face number 3? As popularity increases the F scale (1:20.3) community realizes that a 1:20.3 scale using a 45 mm gauge is actually the NMRA 1936 Fn3 standard, or equivalent to a 3 FT Prototype gauge.
Face number 4? 1:24 is a popular toy scale. A 3 1/2 FT Prototype gauge results in 45 mm. All of a sudden the 1:24 scale, 45 mm gauge community is the envy of all other due to their compatibility with the 1:24 scale toy market.
For the 5th scale you’re probably thinking right now, a 2 FT Prototype gauge results in a scale of 1:13.7 at a 45 mm gauge and your right, but that’s not the 5th face of G. Maybe it was due to the large size, or the fact that there was no previous correlation to an existing standard, but the 2 FT Prototype gauge never gained a G Gauge following.
Earlier I asked you to remember the #1, #2, and #3 Gauge scales. Those that paid attention may have noticed we have already covered 1:32 and 1:22.5 scales. As the 1:29 scale existed previously as #2 Gauge, the manufacturing history was there to exploit and thus 1:29 is the 5th Face of G. The theory goes that at some point the 1:32 scale G community community saw the 1:24 scale toy offerings and tried to incorporate the two. For some the difference is scale was just too much and the 1:29 scale was offered as a compromise, splitting the difference between the two scales.
With the resurgence of the Large Scale model trains came the resurgence of Lionel Standard Gauge in the 1970s.
Not to be outdone, the Gauge 3 Society has been dedicated to the 1:22.5 scale, 45 mm gauge cause since 1990.
