The scrub hare is a sturdy species that happens to be endemic to Southern Africa.
The scrub hare is a very common species of hare found in the Kruger. Their body color is a neutral grey color decorated with small black areas in between, which results in a distinct color by which they can be identified and distinguished from other species of hares and even rabbits. Their long ears are rounded and blackly colored at the tips, and stand erected above their heads most of the time. They have small, puffy tails, which are white at the bottom, like its abdomen and chest. Their average weight range is between 1.5 and 4.5kg (3.3 and 10lb).
Scrub hares are Southern African and South African locals and are found virtually anywhere in South Africa, from regions dominated by fynbos in the Eastern and Western Cape Provinces, to the bushveld and Lowveld, the sub-tropical regions of KwaZulu-Natal and even the ever arid Karoo semi-desert areas. In addition to South Africa, these animals can be found in Swaziland, some southern parts of Namibia and throughout the highland areas of Lesotho, typically anywhere along borders with South Africa. Sightings of these animals have been reported in many African countries more north, from Mozambique to Senegal and even Ethiopia, but no substantial populations were found to reside there.
The Scrub hare or Savannah hare can be added to our long list of species that are currently in no danger or threat to extinction, but are steadily declining and will continue to do so for the majority of the near future due to loss of habitat and over-hunting, mostly. Within the next 100 years, their population is estimated to decrease with a further 20%. Their current overall population, between both known sub-species, is around 10 000 individuals, although these numbers are usually very conservatively estimated. Only 4 countries are have Scrub hares in one form or another, and expanding agricultural areas in these countries also pose a significant threat to their loss of habitat.
Scrub hares are quite adaptive creatures, to some extent, being found in a range of similar habitats or environments despite their name. Savannah areas along with woodlands and taller grasslands are among its favorite environments, and during the evening short or open grasslands are added to this list. All they need in an environment is lots of grassy areas, and enough cover in which to hide during the middle of the day from predators who may be keeping their eyes open from a far. Forest and desert areas are however a bit extreme for these animals, although they have adapted well to lands developed into agricultural areas.
These small herbivores almost solely live with no one but themselves, between sexes and individual hares. The only time of the year two of these creatures can be seen together is when they are attempting to produce the next generation of Scrub hares, during mating season, or when offspring accompany their mother in the early and vulnerably stages of their lives. Furthermore males may react with some hostility when other adult male accidentally interact with them or come across their path at some point or another as a form of showing dominance. This may be heightened by mating season when all males are fighting for a partner.
Scrub hares are typically nocturnal animals, coming out at night when predators that look from above are forced to retire for the day because of the lack of light. On overcast days they may even come out earlier because of this reason. When moving to grassland areas in search of food they typically consume mostly green grasses. In harsher conditions like droughts they may eat leaves, stems and bark or whatever vegetation they can get their hands on to obtain enough nutrition to survive. They also need to drink water to properly digest grasses they eat, and to stay hydrated in the hot African heat.
These hares breed at any time during the year although mating typically peaks during summer. When a female is in heat, many males will surround her in an attempt to mate with her. To sort out who gets a mate, the males will compete by boxing and kicking each other using their front and hind legs respectively. Once all have lost but 1, the pair will mate. Only 42 days or so will pass before the female gives birth to their litter of 1 -3 offspring, and they can keep this process up for nearly 4 times a year from the time both sexes are sexually mature enough to start this process.
Like many small mammals, these Scrub Hares don’t have a unique and complex way of escaping the grasp of predators that come after them. Instead they practice the oldest and most basic method of getting away from someone or something; running away as fast as possible. Flight doesn’t always get them out of trouble though, despite their natural agility and speed. Predators that may cut the lifespan of these creatures down from a further 3 years to a further 3 seconds in a matter of moments include most small cat species like servals and caracals, jackals, pythons and many birds of prey such as eagles.

It’s a busy but exciting period for Hour of Power. In the 25 year history of the class, we have never had so many active classes, and so many busy classes! Last week I personally taught and enjoyed classes at two of the UK’s leading universities, where there is almost no more space to take attendees. And the London classes are popping up thick and fast – with two more starting at Gymbox clubs tomorrow, and Club Kensington, NuYuu and Flex clubs always at capacity.
So as we approach this next HOP® Certification Course at the end of March, it’s fantastic to see that this revolutionary approach to cardiovascular training is really starting to make it’s mark…mostly because of a whole new wave of great instructors. My father started things off…I’ve done my best to take it forward another small step…and now it’s the turn of the new instructors to take it a giant leap forward. (and I’ll maybe take myself a little rest 🙂

I want to be perfectly transparent here, I don’t follow the Twelve Steps program. I don’t go to meetings regularly. I haven’t check-listed things that I need to do on a personal inventory. Maybe I should, but I haven’t to date.
The reason I tell you this is because I want to be honest here. As much as I speak about recovery and being a better version of myself, I don’t know the ins and outs of the AA program. I know what my husband has been through and what he continues to practice on a daily basis. Other people in the program have also shared with me their life changing stories.
I may not have a first hand testimony of someone whose life was changed from the program, but I guarantee you I am an advocate for AA. There are so many people I know who have been touched by the program that it would be silly not to endorse such a strong recovery organization.
There are also people I know who have entered into rehabilitation centers and saw incredible results. The seclusion from the influence of the world helped them gain the perspective they needed to get sober.
Whatever your need is, or the need of someone you care about, I urge you to look into your options. There is no need to suffer alone. Even if AA or a rehab center isn’t for you, please talk to someone.
One day at a time…
If you are a seasoned veteran of any kind of recovery program, I’m sure you know by know that addiction comes with underlying issues. But I’ve been doing some research and came across some interesting stats for everyone today.
Here is what I found from The Addiction Center’s website.
- Over 20 million Americans over the age of 12 have an addiction (excluding tobacco).
- 2.6 million people with addictions have a dependence on both alcohol and illicit drugs.
- 9.4 million people in 2011 reported driving under the influence of illicit drugs.
- 6.8 million people with an addiction have a mental illness.
- Over 90% of those with an addiction began drinking, smoking or using illicit drugs before the age of 18.
Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions affecting Americans. It is also an addiction that goes untreated in many cases because of the legality of the substance. However, the recorded rates of alcoholism are decreasing (18.1 million people in 2002 to 16.7 million in 2011), but the addiction is still a cause for concern.
- Binge drinking is more common in men; 9.1% of men 12 and older reported heavy drinking 5 or more days in a month, while 2.6% of women reported this.
- Over 11% of Americans have driven under the influence.
- Out of 16.6 million people with alcoholism, 2.6 million were also dependent on an illicit substance.
- It is estimated that over 95% of those who need treatment for alcoholism do not feel they need treatment.
- More people receive treatment for alcohol than any other substance.
- Over 30% of those who received treatment in 2011 reported using public or private health insurance to pay for treatment.
(All information can be found at The Addiction Center)
Maybe you already knew these stats. (I didn’t!) Or maybe everything is all new to you. PLEASE get help if you need it. PLEASE find a loving and supportive group of people to help you through this journey of life.

MADISON, Wis. - The semi-public agency charged with overseeing economic development efforts in Wisconsin did not track how much was owed on $8 million on overdue loans for more than a year.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday on the latest problem facing the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. It was created last year by Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled Legislature to replace the Department of Commerce and lead job-creation efforts.
Democratic critics of the agency slammed the news. State Rep. Jon Richards of Milwaukee called it a "horrendous abuse of the public trust."
The agency's chief operating officer Ryan Murray said he first learned last week that the loans had not been tracked since June 2011, the month before WEDC was created.

Often compared to the practice of manual palpation, magnetic resonance elastography is an emerging technology for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of tissue as a basis for characterizing disease. The potential of MRE as a diagnostic tool is rooted in the fact that normal and diseased tissues often differ significantly in terms of their intrinsic mechanical properties. MRE uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in conjunction with the application of mechanical shear waves to probe tissue mechanics. This process can be broken down into three essential steps: 1) inducing shear waves in the tissue, 2) imaging the propagating shear waves with MRI, and 3) analyzing the wave data to generate quantitative images of tissue stiffness MRE has emerged as a safe, reliable and noninvasive method for staging hepatic liver fibrosis, and is now used in some locations as an alternative to biopsy. MRE is also being used in the ongoing investigations of numerous other organs and tissues, including, for example, the spleen, kidney, pancreas, brain, heart, breast, skeletal muscle, prostate, vasculature, lung, spinal cord, eye, bone, and cartilage. In the article that follows, some fundamental techniques and applications of MRE are summarized.

Testing probe cards that contain complex circuitry
GREG OLMSTEAD and BOB DAVIS, Rudolph Technologies, Inc., Flanders, NJ
State based testing is a simple, highly scalable method to describe activation details for probe card circuitry.
As the complexity and cost of integrated circuits and packaging technologies continue to increase, so also does the need for more sophisticated testing capability. This has resulted in the development of highly advanced probe cards, which provide the mechanical and electrical interface between the tester and the integrated circuit. In addition to tremendous increases in the number of probes and channels, probe density, and probing forces, current generation probe cards also incorporate complex circuitry to support advanced functionality. Both manufacturers and users of probe cards use probe card analyzers (PCA) to monitor and maintain probe cards and ensure the integrity of the testing process. At the most basic level probe card analyzers measure the mechanical position and electrical continuity of the probes. However, on today???s more advanced probe cards, the PCA must also monitor the functionality and performance of on-card circuitry and components.
Evolution of probe card complexity
The first test probes provided no more than a direct conductive mechanical/electrical contact to a test pad or exposed node of the integrated circuit. Multiple probes were soon arranged on a probe card to provide multiple simultaneous contacts. Probe card analysis in these early cards focused simply on measuring the positions (X,Y and Z) and electrical properties (contact resistance, leakage current, capacitance) of the probe tips.
The circuitry on probe cards evolved rapidly, beginning with the addition of passive components such as capacitors and resistors, and quickly expanding to include relays and other active circuitry designed to extend the I/O resources of a given tester platform. The PCA then had to supply power and control to the relays and verify the switched pathways.
Advanced probe cards now often incorporate local power management, digitally controlled analog switching, probe card heating, and non-volatile storage for identification and touchdown history. They may also include devices such as opto-couplers, voltage regulators, PLDs, FPGAs and microcontrollers. Circuits can use latched or sequenced inputs, and serial or other communication protocols to control states and potentially provide feedback on the health or state of the ???on board??? control circuits.
These on board circuits constitute, in effect, an electrical barrier between the tester side of the probe card and the probe tips. They must be manipulated and controlled in order to measure probe characteristics. The circuitry included in many current probe card designs has reached a level of complexity that makes it impractical to control individual components manually. State based testing is a strategy to simplify circuit testing by collecting all of the required activation conditions into a single ???state??? definition. Simply recalling a predefined state allows the PCA to do what is necessary to activate the circuit while the user gets on with testing the probe card. The state definition may be a static definition of an array of I/O conditions or may include sequences of conditions that must be executed in order to bring the circuit to the desired state.
In addition to being able to manipulate the probe card components to enable measurements of probe characteristics, the PCA must be able to test the performance and functionality of the individual components themselves. This requires probe card manufacturers to design-for-test, being sure to provide access to all of the various control elements and signal nodes needed to enable thorough and complete test procedures.
For each probe card circuit, card designers and test engineers must define the required challenge and response, decompose the circuit function, identify a means of circuit activation in the probe card analyzer, and specify control conditions sufficient to achieve activation. With state based testing, the use of predefined activation states greatly simplifies the task of establishing the activation conditions required to make the desired measurements.
Relay switching is a way to increase the number of connections available to a limited number of test channels. Consider a simple multiplexer composed of a pair of double pole, double throw relays configured to switch a single channel among four connections. The connection is determined by the states of the two relays (Fig. 1). Defining a state name for each of the four possible combinations of relay states permits simple measurement of the resistance for each connection.
FIGURE 1. Relay switching can increase the number of connections permitted for a limited number of test channels. Here a pair of relays connects a single channel to any one of four probes (top). State definitions specify activation conditions for two control lines (middle). Results reference the state label for each measurement (bottom).
Simple switching for component validation
In Fig. 2, an FET switch controls a bypass capacitor. There are no probes in this example. It is provided to illustrate the importance of exposing nodes to enable component verification. When CTL14 is at logic 1, FET Q2 is closed. When CTL14 is at logic 0, FET Q2 is open. Capacitor C5 is removed from the circuit by default, but is connected when FET Q2 is on (State = ST_Q2_ON). XCH7, connected between the switch and the capacitor, allows direct and isolated measurement of C5, and direct and isolated measurement of Q2 drain-source resistance in both on and off states.
FIGURE 2. Good design-for-test practice provides connections for component testing as well as probe switching. In this example XCH7 is connected to a node between the capacitor and the FET switch, permitting direct, isolated testing of each component.
Analog IC switching
Analog switching can be much faster, consumes less power and allows greater density than relay based switching. It permits much greater flexibility in configuration but can present challenges to probe card analysis, such as large numbers of connections or the sharing of control returns with other ???grounds???. It has the potential to be configured via on-board logic without much ???driver overhead???, further increasing its flexibility but creating combinations of challenges for probe card analysis.
FIGURE 3. Analog IC switching can be much faster, consumes less power and allows greater density than relay based switching. In this example each switch is controlled independently by the condition of a single CTRL line, providing simple mapping and arbitrary flexibility. State based testing scales readily to the larger number of connections typical of analog IC designs.
In the example shown in Fig. 3, the IC is a quad single pole single throw analog switch connecting XCH1 to any of Probe 61, Probe 62, C17 or C20. CTRL lines 1-4 select the address of these options. Pull up resistors make the hardware default ON. In the State Labels the default condition for all switches is open (contrary to the hardware default). In contrast to the combinatorial control scheme illustrated above for the relay switch, here each switch is controlled independently by the condition of a single CTRL line, providing simple mapping and arbitrary flexibility.
Stateful control satisfies the need for more complex control and monitoring of functions such as switching, power health, identification, verification state and more. It scales easily with probe count, channel count, the amount of switching and the amount of control fanout. It simplifies activation of the desired state through the extension of state based control to include time based control sequences. It can also incorporate feedback from the device under test to the probe card analyzer.
Another important benefit of state based testing is its ability to support thorough and complete testing without exposing details of the circuit design, allowing probe card manufacturers to encapsulate and protect their intellectual property.
FIGURE 4. Current generation probe cards may incorporate very complex circuitry with digitally controlled sequential logic. State based testing scales easily with size and complexity and readily accommodates activation sequences and feedback from the card. This circuit multiplexes 24 I/O lines among 4 separate 24-probe site arrays.
The schematic shown in Fig. 4 illustrates the large number of connections and complexity typical of current probe card designs. As shown in the block diagram, the circuit switches 24 I/O lines among 4 identical 24-probe site arrays. Control and feedback lines operating through a controller IC provide information on the health and status of the circuit. Control lines may be more numerous and may include sequential control schemes.
The complexity and cost of probe cards used to test integrated circuits have increased dramatically, making probe card analysis both more challenging and more valuable. State based testing is a simple, highly scalable method to describe activation details for probe card circuitry to enable traditional probe card testing as well as thorough and complete testing of on board circuitry. Combined with PCA-aware design-for-test, state based testing can maximize PCA verification of probe cards with increasingly complex circuits, while simplifying the process. State based testing also provides important protection for intellectual property by supporting testing without exposing details of the circuit design.

Some snippets and studies that bring insight to the retirement issue.
Knowledge Drain Back to Forefront
Despite high levels of unemployment and the recent trend of older workers delaying retirement, employers today remain deeply anxious and concerned about the impact of knowledge drain on their organizations, according to MetLife's Emerging Retirement Model Study.
When asked which of two retirement-related issues -- delayed retirement or knowledge drain -- are of greatest concern today, 74 percent cited the latter.
Employers' concerns are virtually the same when asked to look ahead three to five years: 70 percent selected knowledge drain, while 30 percent cited delayed retirement.
"We were surprised to find the extent to which the knowledge drain is both a 'today' and 'tomorrow' issue for employers, even while conventional wisdom might suggest that the effect of workers now delaying retirement -- primarily out of financial necessity -- could lessen immediate concerns about the knowledge drain," says Cynthia Mallett, a vice president with New York-based MetLife.
Lehman Retirees Out of Luck
A lawsuit by participants in the Lehman Brothers employee-retirement-savings program was dismissed in early February.
The plaintiffs claimed that board members knew about the firm's weakening state (which led to its eventual collapse) and failed to protect the retirement plan. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, however, ruled there was no evidence that Wendy Uvino, the chairwoman of the retirement plan and the defendant in the case, was aware of any negative information that should have been disclosed.
"There are also no factual allegations suggesting that Ms. Uvino knew or had inside information suggesting that any company financial reports were false or misleading," Kaplan wrote in the opinion.
The retirement account allowed Lehman employees to invest in the Lehman Stock Fund, among other options.
A Year Later: Plan Sponsors Still Challenged by Regulations
Many retirement-plan sponsors admit to not fully understanding new compliance requirements, according to a survey by TIAA-CREF Institute in New York.
Most of the new regulations for 403(b) plans were issued in July 2007 by the Internal Revenue Service and took effect Jan. 1, 2009. The new regulations require changes in both plan design and administration.
Nearly half (45 percent) of plan sponsors acknowledge they have difficulty understanding the regulations. The confusion is most pronounced around two issues: The new standards of compliance and evolving fiduciary responsibilities; and the expanded annual reporting requirement to the federal government.
Only about half (54 percent) indicate they are familiar with the reporting requirement.
"It was not written on the layman's level. It was written for those with law degrees," says one respondent.
Paul J. Gallagher, managing director of product management for TIAA-CREF and a co-author of the report, says sponsors that are confused shouldn't delay in getting help.
"We urge plan administrators to take advantage of existing programs and services to ensure they fully understand their obligations under the new regulations and to help ensure their plans are in compliance," he says.
Workers Ready for 'Auto-Pilot' Retirement
In light of the recent financial crisis, most Americans (84 percent) would eagerly embrace a fresh approach to the structure of their workplace-retirement plans -- especially if they included "auto-pilot" features, according to Prudential's sixth Workplace Report on Retirement Planning.
Just 25 percent of the 1,010 American employees surveyed said they are very confident of their ability to make good decisions about their workplace retirement-savings plan, while more than half (65 percent) recognize the value of an automatic approach.
The survey by the Newark, N.J.-based firm also suggests that decision complexity may be a driver of poor retirement preparedness. Roughly three-quarters of the respondents (77 percent) who felt they were "behind schedule" in their retirement-savings goals described investment decisions as "complicated."

With his band, Paul McDermott’s MICF show is Paul Sings. It’s an accurate title and the crowd were very appreciative of the music. Between songs there were some overlong stories on topics such as Paul making a fool of himself in showbiz. Is the joke of the show that the unsophisticated humour of these stories diverts time away from Paul’s talent for singing?
Paul McDermott has featured in various acts and is well known for writing songs for and singing on TV shows including most recently Good News Week with GUD and The Sideshow.
I first remember seeing him on the The Big Gig with The Doug Anthony Allstars. Amidst performances designed to offend, DAAS knew how to unbalance an audience with a change of pace, like the acknowledgement of weakness in the song “Bottle”, the first song of Paul Sings. While the DAAS TV spots were challenging and unexpected, and past GUD performances have included touches of comedy, Paul Sings settled in to an evening of well-performed, nice, comfortable music that I feel would have benefitted from having a more varied selection from the McDermott back catalogue.
From the absence of laughs in various parts of the stands on opening night it seems that the stories between songs didn’t appeal to everyone, although I did find some humour in a recollection on the limitations of cassette tapes. A tedious section where McDermott asked for requests, declining all suggested until someone called out the DAAS song “I Fuck Dogs” just so he could tell a story about it and not even perform the song amounted to a pretty big waste of time, the sort that is just going to irritate those there for the music. Surely there’s a better way of constructing a show than this?
Oddly enough, the highlight of the night was an encore in the foyer of the Forum theatre where the music had an extra immediacy and warmth, and the band were finally introduced.
Fans of McDermott’s current persona will probably find this show is exactly what they want. He still has a very good voice and I bought the DVD for my guest. She plans to skip over bits between songs.

Ronda Rousey is sporting a different kind of ring these days.
After shooting down reports the couple was engaged last January, the UFC star is officially engaged to fellow fighter Travis Browne, TMZ Sports has reported.
SHOCK SWITCH: Sports Illustrated model turns MMA fighter
According to the report, Browne proposed to Rousey last week while the pair vacationed in New Zealand. Browne decided to pop the question under a waterfall because "it felt like the right place to do it."
Rousey said she and Browne, who have been together since 2015, are hoping for a wedding "soon" but have yet to set a date.
After suffering a brutal defeat to Amanda Nunes in UFC 207 in December, many observers have expressed doubt about Rousey returning to the octagon.
UFC boss Dana White last week said it was looking very unlikely.
"Ronda and I talk maybe once a week, once every two weeks," White responded when asked about Rousey at the UFC 210 post-fight press conference.
"She has not said anything to me about a comeback."
She recently hired a nutritionist, leading to renewed speculation about a possible desire to return to fighting, but White thinks the speculation doesn't lead to anything concrete.
He thinks that his former women's bantamweight champion has called it quits on her fighting career.
"If I had to guess, I would guess that she will not come back."
The 30-year-old has expressed a desire to develop her acting career and will play a prison inmate in the NBC drama "Blindspot " after appearing in "Entourage," "Furious 7" and "The Expendables 3."

The aim of this work, consisting of 9 individual, self-contained booklets, is to describe commercial vehicle technology in a way that is clear, concise and illustrative. Compact and easy to understand, it provides an overview of the technology that goes into modern commercial vehicles.
Starting from the customer's fundamental requirements, the characteristics and systems that define the design of the vehicles are presented knowledgeably in a series of articles, each of which can be read and studied on their own.
In this volume, Fuel Consumption and Consumption Optimization, the main focus is placed on the factors for optimizing consumption in the conventional vehicle. Fuel consumption can be optimized by four different factors: the technology of the vehicle, the conditions of its operation, the behavior of the driver and the maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle. These aspects are described in a way that is easily understood for training and practical application.

This week Jason gave members the oath of office and passed a special elections bill out of committee.
Re-Affirming support of our State and National Constitution
It was my immense honor to administer the Oath of Office to the members of the Missouri House this week. We originally recited the oath last week during our opening day ceremonies, but the judge who led us in swearing the oath made a small, but very important, mistake in the words he asked us to recite.
Rather than making a pledge to support our Missouri and United States Constitutions, members were asked to support and uphold government. It’s a mistake that my colleagues and I were eager to correct as we want to make it clear – we are here to serve the will of the people and the Constitution –not to cater to the whims of a bloated governmental bureaucracy.
While the oath was ceremonial in nature only, that doesn’t diminish the importance of publicly declaring our support for this vital document that has served as the foundation of this great nation. Too often we see a federal government that has forgotten the importance of our Constitution. That’s not an oversight we will make in the state legislature.
This week also marked the inaugural ceremonies for our statewide officers. Despite the frigid temperatures, a large number of residents from the district made the trip to Jefferson City to participate in the festivities. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my office to offer their support and encouragement. It was a welcome sight to have so many folks from home at the state Capitol.
Reining in the power of the governor to make appointments to Statewide Office
We also took a significant step forward this week with the passage of HB 110 out of committee. This bill reforms gubernatorial appointments so that the people have the power when it comes to deciding who will fill a vacancy in our statewide offices.
Our current system is one that excludes regular people from the process. Based on precedent and not law, the governor has been allowed to appoint individuals to fill vacancies when state statute seems to call for a special election. My legislation simply clarifies our law to say the governor can appoint statewide vacancies on a temporary basis only. His appointment would serve as a placeholder until a general election is held to allow the people to elect the new statewide officeholder.
My legislation will make it crystal clear that the voice of the people will be heard when filling a vacancy for statewide offices such as secretary of state, attorney general, lieutenant governor, state auditor, state treasurer and United States Senator. It’s also important to point out that any special election called to fill a statewide vacancy would have to coincide with a scheduled general election. It’s a change that would give the people a say in the process without creating a financial burden for Missouri taxpayers.
Page 2 of 2 - HB 110 received strong bipartisan approval in the House Elections Committee. This support is an encouraging sign for how the bill will fare in the weeks to come.
We expect to take the bill up and pass it out of the House next week. From there it will start the process over in the Senate. We hope to have the bill through the General Assembly and to the governor’s desk to be signed into law in the coming weeks.
As always, should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at my office at 573-751-1688, or e-mail me at Jason.email@example.com.

Single-family permits in Southwest Ohio were up 36 percent in the first half of the year, whereas Northern Kentucky saw 9 percent more permits pulled for new homes through June 2013 vs. the first six months of 2012, according to their respective home builders associations.
“We’re pleased with the momentum in the market,” said Dan Dressman, executive director of the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati. “Residential construction is a jobs producer.”
Brian Miller, executive director of the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky, blamed high taxes for Kenton County’s 13 percent drop in single-family building permits — the sharpest in the region.
“Kenton County gives us pause for concern,” Miller said. “Property taxes in total are at a minimum 25 percent higher in Kenton than in Boone.”
Individual county numbers:
Hamilton, 73 percent increase (228 permits)
Warren, 50 percent increase (382 permits)
Butler, 43 percent increase (283 permits)
Boone, 20 percent increase (214 permits)
Campbell, 4 percent decrease (50 permits)
Clermont, 12 percent decrease (177 permits)
Kenton, 13 percent decrease (110 permits)


Otay Mesa wants to be a big part of the solution to San Diego’s housing crisis.
Its new community plan – which is up for a City Council vote Tuesday – aims to make the area a manufacturing jobs center, and to provide thousands of new homes to help meet the city’s shortage.
“This plan creates a middle-class job center for the region, and from my standpoint and a general plan standpoint, that’s the priority of the plan,” said Councilman David Alvarez, who represents the area.
"I think it's time for us to start growing this city in a way that is good for everybody," said Alvarez, standing by the weedy lot. "And I think there are a lot of people north of Interstate 8 that feel the same way."Read More
In an effort to address the retention problem San Diego police departments are facing, Councilman David Alvarez proposed further pay increases and better training programs for officers. The city has spent or committed $140 million over four years, only to see more officers leave the police department, Alvarez, who represents San Diego’s District 8, said.Read More
To make matters worse, the city council on Monday voted 5-2 to kill Councilmember David Alvarez’s hotel tax measure (an increase of 1 percent) where the money would have gone directly to homeless programs. The measure was seen as a longshot to make the ballot since the mayor’s convention center bill had already been approved for the ballot, but it stings nonetheless.Read More

Dublin, Nov. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Food Wholesale and Retail in South Africa 2021” report has been added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.
This report focuses on the wholesale and retail food trade in South Africa. It includes comprehensive information on the size and condition of the industry, the performance and developments of notable players, and major factors influencing the industry.
There are profiles of 19 companies, including major players such as Shoprite, Pick n Pay and Woolworths and Massmart, notable private companies such as Food Lovers and Wellness Warehouse, and cash and carry companies such as Africa Cash and Carry.
Wholesale and retail of food products
The wholesale and retail food trade in South Africa is dominated by national supermarket chains which play an important role in shaping the entire South African food system. Large corporations have benefited from nearly three decades of a rapidly growing middle class, the development of centralized distribution and the application of new supply chain and logistics technologies, and the rapid growth of shopping malls .
Food retailing, which accounts for more than half of all retail sales in South Africa, is defined by a nationwide high quality food supply, market concentration and maturity. National supermarket chains and their development have also had a fundamental impact on the shape and functioning of the upstream food wholesale and food and agricultural processing industries.
Resilience and challenges
The strength and resilience of the food retail industry to adequately supply South Africa was evident during the pandemic and widespread unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in July 2021, despite trade disruption , ownership, stock levels, and supply lines.
The vulnerability of the industry, however, has translated into the challenge of weakening consumer purchasing power and supply saturation in supermarkets and shopping malls in major urban areas. This saturation has driven retailers to invest in Africa and in smaller towns, rural areas and townships in South Africa. The results of this expansion have been mixed.
The rapid increase in online food shopping and delivery has been a major feature of the industry over the past year, as food e-commerce has accelerated dramatically. South African food retailers have also aggressively pursued convenience markets such as forecourts and increased private label foods in terms of range and sales. The difficulties of certain countries on the African continent have led large retailers to reconsider their investments in certain markets.

Learn all about cosmetic dermatology and how it can give you the skin you can feel confident in.
From those early signs of aging to sun spots, many skin imperfections can appear over the years that can make you feel less than confident about your appearance. Don’t worry; our Staten Island, NY, cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Patricia McCormack offers a wide range of cosmetic dermatology services to improve the look and appearance of your skin. Here are some of the top cosmetic dermatology services we provide,
Is this your first time in the cosmetic dermatology scene? If so you may want to ease yourself into it with a more non-invasive treatment option. Botox is a great first treatment option for our patients because this FDA-approved treatment is designed to smooth away dynamic lines and wrinkles of the face including those pesky “11s” between your brows, forehead wrinkles, laugh lines and more. Botox only takes a couple of minutes to administer and results last up to 6 months.
If you are fighting the effects of sun damage, uneven skin tone, rosacea, or fine lines and wrinkles, our photofacial treatment may be just the thing to refresh your skin’s tone, texture and appearance. In just 30 minutes this laser therapy penetrates deep within the skin to constrict blood vessels and to restructure collagen production to increase skin’s firmness and texture while reducing facial redness.
There is also no downtime associated with this procedure, making it a great option for those who are looking to improve the look of blotchy, red and uneven skin but without the recovery process.
As we get older our bodies don’t produce as much collagen and elastin. As a result, our faces start to lose volume. Dermal fillers can be an effective solution for plumping up areas of the face to look more youthful. Dermal fillers can also fill out thinning lips. Results from dermal fillers can last anywhere from 5 months to 12 months or longer, and they can be combined with other cosmetic dermatology services we offer at our Staten Island, NY, practice.
Chemical peels have been around for a while and there’s a reason why. This is a tried-and-true way of resurfacing the skin to improve tone, texture and overall appearance. Chemical peels remove the outermost layers of the skin to reveal healthier and more youthful skin underneath. Chemical peels can range in intensity, from superficial to deep, depending on the issues you’re dealing with.
Since more extensive chemical peels may require weeks of downtime, it’s important that you speak with your dermatologist Dr. McCormack first about the issues you wish to treat and the goals you have for treatment.
These are only some of the amazing cosmetic dermatology treatments we offer. Are you interested in turning to our Staten Island, Linden and Point Pleasant Beach, NY, dermatologist Dr. McCormack to improve your appearance? To discuss treatment options and cosmetic goals with our team, call us at (718) 698-1616, (908) 925-8877 or (732) 295-1331.

Hi again! Today I have a layout that was up on The Cut Shoppe Blog last Tuesday, I'm a little behind because its school holidays and Shaun's been working days and some nights. This layout is my word for the year, which is Restore. I used a background paper from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, and the rest of the products are from Take me Away by Paige Evans for Pink Paislee. I used the new Flower Delivery and the Brush Up Alpha cut files.
Originally I hand stitched on the Restore, but I didn't like the look so I cut a second one and layered it over the top. I love the dimension it adds!
I cut the flowers on several different papers and then layered them with the leaves using dimensional adhesive.
My word is all about restoring everything in my life after spending last year so sick with hyperemesis, and then being unwell after the C section. Its all explained in the journalling, and on my Instagram post here.
Here are the two cut files.
Thanks for looking!

Are you considering getting the Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® but unsure if you can easily redeem the award miles? Maybe to the surprise of many, HawaiianMiles are more valuable (and flexible) than one might expect. Before we get into how, here’s a quick reminder regarding the current signup bonus for new cardholders.
Note that Avianca LifeMiles credit cards are also offering the chance to earn 60k miles for a limited time.
Editor’s Note: Some of the offers below may have expired or are no longer available on our site.
- Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® – Earn 60,000 bonus miles after spending $2,000 in the first 90 days (Expired)
- Hawaiian Airlines® Business Mastercard® – Earn up to 60,000 bonus miles: Earn 50,000 after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days, then earn an additional 10,000 miles when a purchase is made on an employee card (Expired)
Airline credit cards can help you save money and earn points/miles for your travels. Plus, they usually have options for all kinds of travelers. For instance, United credit cards come with options for casual or budget travelers, frequent travelers who check baggage and want to earn miles, business travelers, and travelers who like to travel in luxury.
While these Hawaiian Airlines credit cards don’t come with as many options, they are still quite valuable. Here are four of the best ways to redeem Hawaiian Airlines miles for award flights.
4 Ways the Hawaiian Airlines Credit Card is a Great Deal
You will be happy to hear that Hawaiian Airlines still publishes a fixed award chart. This makes it easy to predict how many miles you need to book award flights.
1. U.S. West Coast to Hawaii from 20,000 Miles
You can save a few points by flying to Hawaii from the United States West Coast instead of using a legacy carrier. Award flights start at 20,000 miles one-way plus $6 for an economy class seat. First-class seats start at 40,000 miles plus 6 seats.
It’s still possible to find slightly cheaper award flights on Southwest to Hawaii, depending on award availability, in the 15,000 to the 20,000-point range. However, peak travel days require more than 20,000 miles each way on peak travel days.
Award flights cost more from the eastern United States, but you can still find good deals as award flights start at 30,000 miles. You may decide to fly from Boston to Honolulu for bragging rights as it’s currently the longest domestic flight in the United States. Even this route only costs 30,000 miles plus $6 for non-stop service. Splurging on a first-class flight gives you lie-flat seats for 130,000 plus $6 each way.
2. Intra-Hawaii Flights from 7,500 Miles
Your next Hawaiian vacation may involve visiting several islands. Hawaiian Airlines operates flights between the various islands. You can book neighbor island award flights for 7,500 miles in economy. First-class flights start at 15,000 miles each way.
The cash value for these flights is usually between $97 and $132 each way. You might decide to pay cash because of the relatively low cost. But you can still make each mile worth between 1.29 and 1.76 cents each which is still a respectable redemption rate.
3. Japan, Korea, Australia, or New Zealand to Hawaii from 40,000 Miles
Hawaiian Airlines doesn’t charge a fuel surcharge on international flights. Economy flights start at 40,000 miles plus fees and taxes. Business-class flights start at 65,000 miles plus fees and taxes.
Award flights between Sydney and Honolulu can be found for 40,000 miles plus $80.73 each way. Business-class seats cost 130,000 miles plus $80.73.
One-way flights to Japan start at 50,000 points plus $51. Most premium cabin flights cost 130,000 miles each way. However, you can periodically find bargains like flying from Narita, Japan to Honolulu for 65,000 miles and $51. This overnight flight can be the perfect option to arrive rested with the lie-flat seats.
If you want a more remote destination, award flights from Hawaii to either Pago Pago (Samoa) or Papeete (Tahiti) start at 27,500 miles economy or 47,500 miles business class each way.
4. Partner Flights
When flying abroad, you may try booking award flight on partner airlines like Virgin Australia or Japan Airlines to save miles. Bear in mind some partners only allow you to book a roundtrip fare. Stopovers might be allowed, but you will need to read the partner terms and conditions.
It’s also possible to avoid the fuel surcharges some of these airlines charge if you book directly through their loyalty program.
Current airline partners include:
- Japan Airlines
- Korean Air
- Virgin Atlantic
- Virgin Australia
Partner flights are a good option for short-haul flights within a certain country. For instance, roundtrip intra-Japan flights cost 24,000 miles (12,000 miles each way).
Booking a Virgin Australia business flight between 2,001 and 4,000 miles only costs 120,000 miles each way. As Hawaii is over 5,000 miles away, a roundtrip flight costs 200,000 miles roundtrip for business class. This can still be cheaper than flying Hawaiian Airlines, depending on award availability.
Another nifty partner route is on Virgin Atlantic from the U.K. to the U.S. East Coast. It’s possible to fly to Europe with HawaiianMiles with this partner option. You pay 125,000 miles roundtrip for an Upper-Class seat or 60,000 miles economy. Plus you avoid the fuel surcharge that Virgin Atlantic charges on long-haul flights.
Other Hawaiian Airlines Credit Card Benefits
Besides the flexible redemption options above, being a Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® or Hawaiian Airlines® Business Mastercard® cardholder lets you enjoy a few extra perks.
Discounted Award Flights
It’s possible to scoop up lower-priced fares on select main cabin fares.
One example is flying from 17,500 miles (instead of 20,000 miles) each way from the U.S. West Coast to Hawaii. East Coast flights only cost 26,250 miles instead of 30,000 miles. These discounts make flying Hawaiian Airlines more attractive versus a legacy carrier.
Share Miles Fee-Free
You can also share miles fee-free with friends and family. Your 60,000 bonus miles are a good start, but sharing miles and any American Express Membership Rewards 1:1 point transfers help you pay for an entire roundtrip with miles.
Earn 3x Miles on Purchases
In addition to the standard earn rate of 1 HawaiianMile per 1 mile flown, you get 3x miles per $1 spent on Hawaiian Airline purchases. Gas, dining, and grocery store purchases earn 2 miles per $1 spent. All non-bonus spending earns unlimited 1 mile per $1.
As you most likely will pay cash for a few flights, Hawaiian Airlines gives you a discount once a year on a companion ticket. New cardmembers get a one-time 50% companion discount when flying between Hawaii and the Mainland. Then you get a $100 companion discount on roundtrip travel between Hawaii and the Mainland each card anniversary.
First Free Checked Bag for Personal Hawaiian Airlines Credit Card Cardholders
You can also get one free checked bag for eligible bags on domestic flights for the primary cardholder when using your Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® to purchase the flight. This can either be between Hawaii and the Mainland or intra-island flights. This perk saves you $25 when flying from North America and $15 on intra-island flights.
Business Card Specific Perks Including Earning an Additional 40,000 Miles
The Hawaiian Airlines® Business Mastercard® has its own unique perks including the ability to earn up to 40,000 annual bonus miles. Cardholders will earn 20,000 bonus miles with $50,000-$99,999 in annual purchases. Or, they can earn 40,000 bonus miles with $100,000 or more in annual purchases.
Additionally, the business card comes with complimentary employee cards and easier expense tracking capabilities.

Sep 14, 2021
A group of pro-choice activists directed outrage Monday at Supreme Justice Brett Kavanaugh, bringing banners, loudspeakers, and demands for his resignation to the right-wing justice's Washington, D.C.-area home.
The event was organized by ShutDownDC, which said that between 50 and 70 people took part. Photos showed protesters holding signs with messages including "Repro Freedom for All," "Kavanaugh resign," and "Safe abortion is a human right."
Among those demonstrating was 18-year-old Sophia Geiger. "I believe that currently the Supreme Court is infringing on our rights and Brett Kavanaugh is a big part of that," she toldAgence France-Presse.
That was the central message organizers detailed in a description for the Chevy Chase, Md. event.
"Make no mistake," said ShutDownDC, "what's happening to reproductive justice and abortion rights is far bigger than one person. But Kavanaugh is playing a key role, and so far he's been protected from any backlash. No more."
The protest came amid an "unprecedented" attack by Republican lawmakers on abortion rights this year and followed the U.S. Supreme Court's recent failure to block Texas' six week abortion ban--a law that, according to Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, "blatantly violates Roe v. Wade."
Kavanaugh joined the other right-wing justices, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas, in the 5-4 decision regarding Texas' law.
ShutDownDC said that it "will not stand idly by as the Supreme Court is complicit in allowing the state of Texas to chip away at the right of its residents to obtain safe, legal abortions," framing attacks on abortion rights as "attacks on economic, racial, and healthcare justice."
The urgency to act in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision this month is clear, says Hope Neyer with ShutDownDC.
Neyer told Common Dreams that "keeping pressure on anti-choicers is crucial because abortion is normal, essential healthcare, and we cannot allow them to dominate the narrative any longer."
"Their machine of disinformation, shame, and hatred is formidable, but we are stronger," she said.
"We will continue to organize and build the power in our communities to take meaningful control of our reproductive futures," Neyer added. "It is only a matter of time."

This section is dedicated to my absolute favourite when it comes to well-written military space opera. David Weber has transferred the spirit of the Horatio Hornblower novels into space age, and he's done it marvellously. Something I like a lot about the books is that women and men are absolutely equal, so much so that it's not even a topic of discussion but simply goes without saying.
Below, there are several pictures I drew of favourite scenes and characters (if you haven't read up to Ashes of Victory - spoiler warning!) I know some of the uniforms and rank insignia are a pitiful mess, I know how to do them now, just don't write to me just to complain about them! :o)
If you've never read any Honor Harrington but are interested, have a look at the pictures to see a bit of what it's all about and start with On Basilisk Station. The first seven are out in German now as well, and if you're more comfortable with German, the translation is rather good!
These are the books that have come out so far:
On Basilisk Station (Auf verlorenem Posten)
The first one, and still one of the best. Great Characters, great plot, great action. A book to make you forget to catch your breath in between.
The Honor of the Queen (Die Ehre der Königin)
Also extremely good, with a new perspective added as a planet is shown where men and women are not equal (as opposed to the rest of the universe).
The Short Victorious War (Ein schneller Sieg)
Finally, the war against the Peeps starts. And it's anything but short! This one is again very fast-paced.
Field of Dishonor (Mit Schimpf und Schande)
The first book which focuses less on space battles but on characters. Still a lot of action and a lot of tragedy.
Flag in Exile (Im Exil)
Here, David Weber makes politics a steady issue of the series, and does it as expertly as he did with biology, history, physics and just about everything else.
Honor among Enemies (Ehre unter Feinden)
Not as fast-paced as some, but still very good.
In Enemy Hands (In Feindeshand)
My favourite. It starts rather slowly, but the final two hundred pages have to be read in one go. (You've got an appointment? Tough luck, you'll have to read this one!) Again, Weber is not above killing off characters that you've accompanied for seven books (one of whom I'll never forgive him for!)
Echoes of Honor (Der Stolz der Flotte)
Switching between different plotlines, but still very exciting, especially the Honor plot.
Ashes of Victory (Not yet translated)
This one was a bit slow for my taste. The final chapters left me as flabbergasted as they always do, but it took me a long time to get through the first two thirds of it. Still, the end was highly promising - KEEP WRITING, DW!!!
More than Honor (Anthology)
Worlds of Honor (Anthology)
DISCLAIMER: All these pictures use characters and situations created by David Weber. It is not, nor will ever be, my intention to infringe any copyrights. All I intend is to protray these wonderful characters as I picture them in my mind's eye and share them with other Honor Harrington fans.

Willie Nile, The Bottom Line Archive 1980-2000, is two disc set, separated by a 20 year gap, and is a great example of Niles long term staying power, and the loyalty that Bottom Line owner/curator, Allan Pepper ( booker, or talent buyer does not suffice) extends to the artists that he really believes in. Exhibit A is this double-disc affair, highlighting two distinct eras in Nile’s 35-year career. It is worth noting that one of the primary reasons we can enjoy the temporal contrasts contained in this collection is simply because, when Willie was ready to come back, Allan Pepper was just as ready to welcome him back to The Bottom Line. It was a second home for me, gushes Nile. Allan and the whole vibe of the club was so musician-friendly and warm. It was just the best place to play for that reason.
It s fair to portray these two sets of music as, Disc One: The Beginning, and Disc Two: The Comeback .
Disc One was recorded at Willie s first show in New York City, with a backing band (!) and was broadcast live on WNEW-FM, right on the heels of his debut release, which was receiving heavy airplay at the station. Such was the heat of his commodity that Nile went directly from this gig and a brief NorthEast tour, to being asked to be the opening act for The Who, on their upcoming US tour. At first, I thought it was a joke, explains Willie. When I realized they were not kidding around, I immediately said Yes! It was a dream come true, and a real learning experience. To go from playing solo on Bleecker Street, to playing in front of 20,000 people in an arena, within a few months time? That s a steep learning curve! The label was against me doing the Who tour, thinking we d be sliced to pieces by their fans. “But, in fact, were were welcomed, and went over really well. We got a standing ovation in Atlanta.”
Surprising but true in 1980, when he got signed to record his self-titled debut album for Arista, Willie truly never had played with a band before. He had, however, honed his songwriting and performance skills by going out there and playing these songs, all by himself. When Mr.Nile put the band together for his first disc, he called on producer Roy Halee of Simon & Garfunkel fame and a band that included Jay Dee Daugherty the drummer for Patti Smith s band. Nile reflects, The guys came in, and were so patient and professional with me. They made making that first record easy. It was a great experience. “The band I toured with behind that was on fire and amazing and included Fred Smith, from Television, which was my favorite band back then.”
Debut performances don t typically get broadcast over the radio, but WNEW-FM was there, as Willie s eponymous first disc was receiving lots of attention and getting heavy airplay at the station. He was a New York hero, and the energy was high. Luckily for us, the tape was rolling, and a dynamite performance was captured for future enjoyment. Willie recalls, That 1980 Bottom Line show is only my 3rd show ever with a band. I had a black eye that night which you can clearly see in that picture. A few days earlier, at the very first show, my guitar tech had accidentally poked me right in the eye with the body of the guitar. I had a huge shiner for days, including my appearance on Live at 5 on WNBC-TV, the day before the Bottom Line show. It was pretty funny.” –The Bottom Line Archive
Shortly after his follow-up disc, Golden Down, was released Willie became completely disillusioned by the ugly dog-eat-dog mentality of the music industry. He walked away from the biz to raise his family in Buffalo. I never stopped writing, that whole time, explains Nile. I wrote hundreds of songs. I wrote everyday and still do. But I didn t see the point of going out and torturing myself, plus I was much happier raising my family. Though he recorded again during the 1990 s (this time for Columbia) Willie didn t make a full-on comeback until he took the reins and self-released Beautiful Wreck of The World (1999, River House). The combination of Willie s return to The Bottom Line, and the sheer power of that new album serve as quite the catalyst. Willie and band present a knockout January 2000 set – this time sharing a bill with Traffic-founder, Dave Mason. “My 2000 band was also amazing. They really got what I was doing and we had so much fun playing together that I started to enjoy myself and the music again. I’ve always been very lucky having great bands to play with in my career. Every band has been exceptional.”
My 2000 band was so great, Willie remembers. These guys really got what I m about, and we had so much fun playing together that I started to enjoy myself and the music again. It comes through loud and clear as the boys bring a slamming set of Beautiful Wreck songs, a new version of Vagabond Moon (a kind of calling card for Nile), before leaving our heads ringing with a joyful romp through The Who s Substitute.
Make no mistake Willie is still at it – right this very now. In recent years, he s recorded eight new albums and continues to tour in the US and overseas both solo, and with rock band attached. As Willie puts it, “Since it was never the fame that I was after, it was always the love of the music and making a living doing it which drove me.
I just keep doing what I do, write songs, make records and play live, and now it’s more enjoyable and satisfying than ever.”
I went from being the hottest thing on the scene to having trouble getting people to return my calls. But since fame never mattered to me, I just keep doing what I do, and it all works out fine.
Frankly, we d expect nothing less.
Hey folks, it s Willie Nile Live from The Bottom Line in New York City! –The Bottom Line Archive

Each moment of their existence resulted in some kind of creation: the realization of a natural law, a powerful song, or a healing herb and medicine formula to cure the gravest ill. The Earth itself was new when they were alive. 2 As further explained by Kathy McCovey, also Karuk: When the Karuk people came into the land, the spirit people taught the Karuk how to live, where to live, what to do and how to do it. When the spirit people knew that the Karuk knew how to live upon the land, the spirit people left the land to the Karuk.
Leona Alameda and Grace Alden (Arcata) presented her with a pottery bust of a Hoopa Indian girl (Peters 1950s–1970s). Mrs. Ruth Larsen, the guild’s 1967 president, announced that the second annual pottery show would occur on May 7. Josephine, guild vice-president at the time, was one of sixteen women who displayed their pottery that day. That same year, pottery classes took place in Hoopa through College of the Redwoods. In 1971, Josephine was elected president. She also served as secretary and treasurer during various years (Peters 1950s–1970s).
I wanted to dance so much that I told my sister, and she said I probably could learn.
