The South Davis Sewer District adopted a $1.5 million budget during a hearing Thursday night.
Dal Wayment, district manager, said that the budget represents a 6.5 percent increase over last year's budget of $1.4 million. While the budget is growing, most of the increase is going into a reserve fund. There is no planned increase in sewer rates or taxes assessed for the district."What we are attempting to do here is tighten up our budget," Wayment said. "Our spending is down 4 percent and our contribution to reserves is up 800 percent," Wayment said of the proposed budget.
Increased revenues are expected to come from an increased number of residential customers and the slowdown in expenditures on plant expansion projects. This year the district is funding $12 million in expansion and wants to begin to save money for possible expansions in the future.
The board also approved the sale of $4.5 billion in bonds to finance a plant expansion project. The bonds have been purchased by the Utah Bureau of Water Pollution Control as part of the sewer district's use of the bureau's revolving loan fund. District officials already issued $5 million in bond anticipation note last July so the project could begin.
The construction will help the district comply with federal water pollution standards.

License Plate Grant Program funds new housing tool
This month, the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) and the Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) launched Grow Smart Cape Cod, a mapping project that illustrates priority areas for natural resource protection and priority areas for affordable moderate-density housing development. The project was funded in 2020 by the License Plate Grant Program, which is administered by the Barnstable County Economic Development Council and the Cape Cod Commission on behalf of the Barnstable County Commissioners.
The 2019 Cape Cod Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identifies housing as a regional priority. This project supports the implementation of the CEDS Housing Access and Affordability Initiative, which aims to improve housing diversity and access across the region while managing impacts to natural resources.
Staff from APCC and HAC presented the results of the project to the Barnstable County Economic Development Council during its May 11 meeting. The project provided an opportunity to bring the housing and environmental communities together. The maps are intended for use by municipal staff and boards, housing advocates, land conservation advocates, developers, and citizen participants in town meetings and other discussions.

text: The previous chapter argued that an examination of individuals’ values can contribute to a greater understanding of ethical consumption behaviour. It noted relatively little tourist research had utilised the values concept for understanding responsible tourist behaviour. This chapter attempts to redress this gap by presenting the ﬁndings of an exploratory study into how ethical consumers incorporate their everyday consumption values into holiday choices. This chapter starts with an explanation of the study objectives, an exploration of the research method and details of respondent recruitment. It continues with the interview questions and respondents’ answers, using qualitative quotes to illustrate their decision-making rationale. The study ﬁndings are analysed in Chapter 6, along with a discussion of how values provide a unique insight into the holiday choices of ethical consumers.

Kinekt Design launched their first product, a beautiful modern ring called the Gear Ring, inspired by small mechanisms. The idea comes from Glen Liberman, who wanted to create a complex object that you can play with while wearing it. The result is a stainless steel ring with 6 gears that turn as you spin the outer rims.
The Gear Ring is made from matte stainless steel, 316L, and is available in the US ring sizes 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, but soon you’ll find it also in 5,6,7 and 8. You can get one for $165 from Kinekt Design.

I've disabled DHCP from the secondary router and am running it in 'wireless router' mode.
My wired computer connected to the secondary router has internet, but I am unable to connect any device to the second router via WIFI. I'm assuming something is going wrong with obtaining IPs, but am not sure.

Federal Reserve member and policy critic Esther George has no date in mind for when interest rates should rise, despite her concerns they’ve been held too low for too long.
“I don’t know when interest rates will be raised or should be raised given where we are today,” George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, said Friday during her annual economic outlook address.
The Fed has held its benchmark interest rate near zero since late 2008.
George, speaking at the Central Exchange in Kansas City, said the Fed’s policy group clearly is holding off on raising rates until after it has wrapped up its bond buying program commonly referred to as quantitative easing. At the Fed’s current pace of reducing its bond purchases, quantitative easing would end in the last few months of this year.
The Fed group also has changed its guidance about when it would raise interest rates. Previously the policymakers said they wouldn’t reduce rates until unemployment fell below 6.5 percent. It is now 6.7 percent.
Last week, the Fed’s policy statement said rates would remain low “for a considerable time after” quantitative easing ended.
George was a voting member of the policy committee in 2013, but not this year. She dissented from Fed policy repeatedly last year in a push to get the group to start winding down its quantitative easing. On Friday, she said the date to change interest rates would depend on how the economy unfolded.
“I don’t think it would be fair to say I have a date in mind,” George said.
The date of the first increase is “critically important,” said Ken Green, president of Mitchell Capital Management Inc., an investment company in Kansas City.
Interest rates are likely to become more volatile once the Fed begins to loosen its grip, he said. Also, markets will work differently in how they allocate credit to borrowers on things such as mortgages and commercial loans, and reward savers and other sources of funds.
“Markets don’t operate well at a zero rate,” he said.
Analysts focusing on when rates will rise paid great attention to comments last week from new Fed chair Janet Yellen. She had described the “considerable time” as about six months or so.
Assuming the Fed ends its quantitative easing in October, the first interest rate increase could come at its late April 2015 meeting.
“Hawks are going to try to hold her to that schedule,” Green said of George and others who are seen as having greater concerns about future inflation.
Chicago Fed president Charles Evans, not considered a hawk on inflation, said Friday in Hong Kong that he expects the first rate increase to come in the second half of next year, according to Bloomberg News.
Only one member of the Fed’s policy group currently expects to see the Fed’s zero interest rate rise this year, based on disclosures from last week’s policy meeting in Washington. The disclosure did not identify the member, and others besides George have been vocal about the Fed’s long-running zero interest rate policy.
George said her outlook is for the economy to grow about 2.5 percent this year and to be “poised” for faster growth in 2015. Unemployment will continue to decline, she said, as inflation will “firm” and approach the Fed’s target of 2 percent.
Consumers and businesses are likely to increase spending, she said, buoyed in part by the improving job market.
“We’re beginning to see some wage gains,” George said.

DEAR CAR TALK:
I have a 1991 Honda Civic Wagon with almost 180,000 miles. It runs fine, except that it has an intermittent hesitation problem that is happening more frequently. It happens only at low speeds or after stopping at a light. Sometimes I will notice some sputtering while I am stopped, and then when I step on the gas to go, the accelerator will not respond unless I push it halfway down, and then it takes a few seconds to respond before it jumps to life. It sometimes is accompanied by a low groaning sound when I press down hard on the accelerator. I've asked my mechanic, but he said it is hard to diagnose unless it is doing it all the time. Do you have any ideas?
Well, the sound could be the groans of your embarrassed kids, Lynnette.
I assume your check engine light has not come on. Otherwise, your mechanic would have checked for a fault code, and you wouldn't be suffering the indignity of writing to us today.
But you might want to make sure the check engine light still works. When you turn your key to the "run" position, just before you start the car, all of your dashboard warning lights should light up, to confirm that they're functioning. If you don't see the little orange engine icon, start by getting a new bulb for that baby.
The hesitation could be caused by a lot of things, Lynnette, but I'd start with the most likely and least expensive. Start by asking your mechanic to change your fuel filter — especially if it hasn't been changed since, say, the Bush administration. A dirty fuel filter could easily cause stumbling and hesitation when you start off.
A weak fuel pump or really dirty injectors also could make that happen. So your mechanic can test your fuel-pump pressure to see if it's up to spec.
And if he suspects that the injectors are dirty, he can try adding a can of fuel-system cleaner, like Chevron Techron, to a tank of gas. If you notice some improvement after he does that, try another can!
You also could have a misfire. If one of your four cylinders is not firing regularly, that could cause this type of behavior, too. The first steps you'd take to correct a misfire would be to check the distributor cap for cracks and replace any ancient secondary ignition components, like the cap, the rotor and the spark plugs and wires.
There are other possibilities, like a bad throttle-position switch, a failing transmission or abduction by aliens. But ask your mechanic to start with the simple things, and see if your Honda can get its groove back, Lynnette. Good luck.
DEAR CAR TALK: I have a job (insurance adjuster) that requires me to sit in my vehicle with the engine running at idle with the AC on. I'm currently driving an early-model Toyota Tundra that is getting old. I would like to buy a more-efficient vehicle, but its ability to sit and idle for long periods of time is hugely important. I like the Subaru Forester, because I can get all 6 feet 3 inches of me into it comfortably, and I can get a ladder on the rack. But that car's head gasket issues scare me. Do you have any recommendations?
I recommend Starbucks, Richard. I assume you're sitting in your car to fill out your paperwork after making a client visit. Wouldn't you rather do that over a Frappuccino?
I'm not excited about encouraging anyone to sit in his idling car and let the AC run for long periods of time. Of course you're wasting gas when you do that. But you're also sending unnecessary heat and pollution into the atmosphere.
It'd be as if every worker in every cubicle across America plugged in his or her own window air conditioner and hung it over the side of the cubicle. It's not a great practice.
But setting my environmental preferences aside, you can let any car idle with the AC on for a long time without doing any harm. As long as the cooling system is working properly, you should be able to sit in any modern car you buy and let it idle indefinitely. Or at least until you run out of gas. Or need to pee. Hey, another advantage of Starbucks!
Subaru has had head gasket issues for years, and we replace a lot of them at around 100,000 miles. We still like Subarus, for a lot of other reasons, and recommend them. But their head gaskets have been an issue, and we don't know if Subaru has fixed them in the cars they're selling now. Only time will tell, as our customers get 100,000 miles on their newer Subarus and we see what happens.
But if your primary criterion is finding a car that can idle with the air conditioner on for long periods of time, you can pick any car that appeals to you, Richard.

Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a piece of purple luggage they believed may contain body parts of a Boulder, Colorado, mother who disappeared last week.
Remains found in a suitcase in a dumpster near Tulsa, Oklahoma, have been tentatively identified as missing Boulder mother Ashley Mead, according to 9 News.
Shortly before the remains were discovered on Wednesday, police arrested Adam Densmore on suspicion of first-degree murder. His and Ashley’s one-year-old daughter was with him at the time, and is now in the custody of child protective services.
Mead, 25, and her daughter were reported missing after Mead failed to report to work. The last time she and her daughter were seen in Boulder was Sunday.
Densmore is believed to have traveled through multiple states, including Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, and police believe he scattered Mead’s remains in numerous locations.
“Investigators believe the murder took place in Boulder and at least part of the dismemberment took part in another state, possibly Louisiana,” Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice told 9 News. “Additionally investigators have determined that there is a piece of luggage missing from the suspected dismemberment site which matches the suitcase that contained the torso.”
Chief Prentice is asking anyone who sees a purple suitcase to contact authorities right away and not to touch it.
“Obviously to further the investigation we would like to find, recover the rest of the body and to give the family some closure as well. It would certainly help with the investigation,” Chief Prentice told the news station.
Police have not yet revealed a motive for the apparent murder.
A cash reward is being offered to those who can provide information that can aid in the investigation. Anyone with information is urged to call the Boulder Police Department at 303-441-1974. Anonymous tipsters can call Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner?
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with specialized training in Psychiatry and Mental Health. A PMHNP-BC received graduate education and clinical training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric and mental health disorders and obtained a national board certification. Working independently and collaboratively with other health professionals, PMHNP’s provide a full range of psychiatric and mental health services. This includes, but is not limited to, diagnosing psychiatric and mental health disorders, prescribing medications to treat psychiatric and mental health disorders, and providing psychotherapy and patient education.
How are you different than other psychiatric providers?
Nurse practitioners emphasize the health and well-being of the whole person. We view you as an entire person and an integral part of your treatment, not just a condition or disorder. All choices and experiences in life affect our mental health and we believe that treatment planning must address more than just medication. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that will work best for you. We encourage many of our patients to seek individual or group therapy and can make referrals if needed. We work closely with therapists and other health professionals to coordinate care so that you may achieve the best results.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide-range of psychiatric and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder.
At this time, we are not accepting new patients with ADHD who require stimulant medication.
Can you prescribe medication? Are there limitations to your practice?
Yes, we can prescribe medication.
However, in the state of Texas, nurse practitioners cannot prescribe Schedule II drugs, which includes many medications used to treat ADHD (like Adderall or Vyvanse). Our practice does not currently offer prescriptions for these medications.
Though we are authorized to prescribe other controlled substances such as benzodiazepines (like Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax), we recognize the potential risk for physiological dependence with such medications. Therefore, as a matter of ethical practice, we do not prescribe these medications for long term use. If you are currently taking these medications and wish to stop, we can work with you to safely discontinue their use over a period of time. If a customized, longterm taper is needed for any medication (including benzodiazepines and antidepressants), we have partnered with a local compounding pharmacy to offer that.
In the state of Texas, nurse practitioners are required to have a delegation agreement with a physician. We have such an agreement with a local psychiatrist with whom we meet for monthly meetings to review cases and prescribing practices.
How can I afford your services without using insurance?
The largest expense will usually be during the first 3 months of treatment. During that time, medications will be adjusted and we will be refining your treatment plan. Generally, you'll need an office visit every 2-3 weeks during this time to ensure that treatment is working. Once medications are stabilized, visits will be more spaced out. Eventually you'll need only quarterly visits to follow up on how you are doing and to get medication refills.
We are in-network with Blue Cross, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, SIMS, Optum/United and Oscar. Josh accepts ComPsych, Lyra also. A limited number of sliding scale appointments may be available with Josh. Please contact him for more information.
If we don't accept your insurance plan, you may have out-of-network mental health insurance benefits, which will cover a percentage of your costs. Contact your insurance company to find out. We can provide you with a "superbill" that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I’m particularly interested in hacking on some software for the Tracking ecosystem service goals challenge area. With so many potential use cases tracking different goals and variables it would be useful to give some thought to what similarities and abstractions could be drawn across these multiple use cases. This would inform the requirements for software supporting these efforts and help determine to what extent a single framework could be used for tracking different types of goals with different variables.
Ensuring that a farm is supporting a healthy ecosystem requires tracking of sustainability goals. These tools would target variables such as soil health, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, etc.
This language brings to mind a few different motivations for creating such software:
- Support an individual farm to discover, implement and track progress towards ecosystem service goals
- Support a community in collectively working towards ecosystem service goals, tracking individual progress and sharing knowledge (what does/doesn’t work)
- Help incentivize these goals by connecting farms & data to the growing number of carbon and ecosystem service markets.
We won’t accomplish all of this in the hackathon but I think we could make some great contributions towards identifying generalized requirements for such software and perhaps even develop some initial implementations. It’s important to demonstrate what is possible with our open source tools and community!
I’m thinking of a project that might have the following “core” and “optional” components depending on interest. This project would really benefit from non-coders too, especially those with experience thinking about ecosystem services!
- (core) Identify 3-5 ecosystem service goals to focus on for this project. Explore these goals more in depth to identify key variables, variability, outcomes, complexities, etc and discover similarities across all goals.
- (core) Give some thought to representing these goals in data - can we create a general schema? What structures are required?
- (core) Hack on representing and exporting this data with farmOS Metrics
- (optional) For a select 1-2 ecosystem service goals, mockup a UI that explains the goal, displays current status, potential features for recording progress. Perhaps consider this in the context of farmOS Plans?
- (optional) Demonstrate how existing GOAT/OpenTEAM tools can be integrated with and contribute to this process?
- (optional) Create an app that aggregates farmOS metrics and displays goal progress for multiple farms.

All About Rice: 5 Nutrition Packed Local Indian Rice You Need to Try
What home food would you crave for on a rain-soaked afternoon or a chilly December night? Most probably it would be hot khichadi, Rajma/dal chawal or pulao, right?
One ingredient common in all these dishes is rice– a staple grain grown on every continent except Antarctica.
In India, rice is used on auspicious occasions, festivals, weddings, and housewarmings. Without a few grains of rice, no ceremony is complete. Rice is just not a grain but a culture in India.
Basmati is the coveted long grain rice that is in high demand, along with a few other varieties.
There is a great scope to explore though as there are more than 40,000 varieties of rice worldwide.
It was believed that rice originated about 30 million years ago in China but an analysis of plant remains found in the dung of dinosaurs in Pisdura village Chandrapur district, Maharashtra shows that these huge animals ate rice much before humans and points out to a possibility that rice may have originated in India.
Varieties of Rice
Visit any superstore or an online store and you will be surprised at the kinds of rice they offer. This is confusing and the information overload makes it complicated.
Rice is characterized by length and shape, colour, texture, and aroma. The choice of rice depends on the dish you want to cook.
There are several rice recipes, and we need to think about the recipe before deciding on the variety of rice to be used.
Here are a few rice varieties you should try
Kerala Matta Rice
This rice, known as Palakkadan Matta Rice, or Kerala Red Rice is an indigenous variety of rice grown in the Palakkad district of Kerala.
It is quite famous for its health benefits and is one of the select varieties that has been awarded the GI tag.
Matta is coarser with a unique taste. Its outer layer retains the natural goodness of the grain. This rice helps in lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
It is rich in calcium, magnesium, reduces blood pressure, and is a good source of Vitamins A and B.
With a low glycaemic index and high fibre content it can regulate blood sugar level and insulin production. It is suitable for making pulao and payasam.
Poongar Rice from Tamil Nadu is one of the ancient varieties of rice. It can tolerate harsh weather conditions and heavy floods. This is mostly hand-pounded, and therefore retains the minerals.
Traditionally, this rice has been a part of the pregnancy-diet as it is rich in iron, improves haemoglobin and is good for hormone health.
It contains Zinc, Magnesium, and antioxidants. It has less cholesterol and helps in regulating blood sugar spikes. It has a pleasant taste and is suitable for making dosa, and idly.
Mullan Kazhama is also known as Mullan Kaima rice is indigenous rice from Wayanad, Kerala.
This has almost vanished but has been revived by a few organic farmers in Wayanad. It has a round shape, is sticky with a distinct taste and fragrance. It has high levels of vitamin A.
Farmers say that when this paddy crop is ready for harvesting the distinct aroma wafts in the whole field. It is suitable for cooking pal payasam / kheer, appam, and Malabari Biriyani.
Seeraga Samba Rice
Seeraga or Jeeraga Samba rice, from Tamil Nadu is tiny rice that gets the name due to its resemblance to Cumin seeds. It has a unique taste and fluffs up after cooking.
It is appropriate for making South Indian Biryanis. Seeraga is rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, selenium, and fibre. It has got a GI tag.
This is a black heritage rice variety from Manipur. Black rice is almost six times richer in antioxidants, high in protein, and low in fat as compared to other rice varieties.
It is high in fibre, contains essential amino acids, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin E, and folic acid.
Chakhao Poireiton has a great taste, flavour, and texture. It is suitable as table rice or for making salads and desserts.
Bonus! Chakhao Poireiton Phirni Recipe
Here is a recipe by Pushpita Sinha, Founder, The NE Gourmet Enterprise ( from her blog) to make yummy phirni usinng Chakhao Poireiton rice.
600-700 ml full fat Milk
4-5 Tbsp Chakhao Amubi rice powder (wash and soak the rice overnight, next morning drain the water, sun dry the rice on a clean kitchen towel or piece of cloth and coarsely grind to a sooji/semolina like powder form)
1/2 can Condensed milk
2-3 Tbsp Sugar or adjust as per your taste
15-16 Almonds, blanched and grind to a smooth paste with 1 Tbsp water
1 tsp Green Cardamom/Elaichi powder
1-2 drops Kewra or Rose Essence (optional)
Almond slivers for Garnishing
Add and mix the rice powder with the milk in a pot or deep-bottomed wok. Bring it to a boil on medium heat. Reduce to low and keep stirring continuously to avoid burning the mixture.
Add sugar and condensed milk, continue stirring the mixture for 5-7 mins or till the desired thickness is reached. Then turn off the stove.
Add the cardamom powder and kewra or rose essence and mix in. Let it cool.
Refrigerate and serve chill in dessert bowls with a garnish of almond slivers.
Note: Adjust milk as per your requirement, Phirni is a slightly thick pudding type dessert and glutinous sticky rice needs lesser amount of liquid compared to other rice.
You can add fresh cream to this phirni if you want to.
Including indigenous varieties of rice enhances your diet. Traditional varieties of rice have agricultural significance.
These are grown in suitable soil and climate and have unique characteristics and were used in specific seasons and purposes.
Eating many varieties of rice prevents micro-nutrient deficiencies and offers diverse tastes.
There were about 1,10,000 varieties of rice in India till 1970, but now there are only 6,000. If we don’t bring these rice types on our daily plate, we may lose a chunk of biodiversity very soon.

Adele James, the black British actress who plays Queen Cleopatra in an upcoming Netflix docuseries produced and narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith, has made it clear she believes she has “every right” to play Egypt’s famed last pharaoh.
As previously reported, “Queen Cleopatra,” as the show’s called, has faced massive criticism for portraying the historical figure as a black woman.
But the criticism hasn’t been coming from white people, as leftists might assume. It’s been coming directly from Egypt, where the non-white inhabitants have expressed feeling mortified at the thought of a black woman playing their former queen.
Director hit from all sides, accused of ‘blackwashing’ Cleopatra: ‘She was light-skinned, not black’ https://t.co/9xrk7sf19V pic.twitter.com/BvXY8rBXvN
— Conservative News (@BIZPACReview) April 24, 2023
Yet in remarks made this week to Glamour magazine, James dismissed the criticism, arguing she has a right to portray Queen Cleopatra.
“The only thing I can say about it [Cleopatra’s background] is that we just don’t know. There are versions of Cleopatra that exist already with actresses in that role who are fairer skinned than I am, but I think I have every right to have a shot at humanising this incredible woman,” she said.
“We all put our blood, sweat and tears into that show, and I think anybody else has as much of a right as anybody else to have a go at it because we just don’t know,” she added.
Her remarks come a few weeks after Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities issued a statement arguing that Cleopatra had “white skin and Hellenistic characteristics,” i.e., she wasn’t black.
“Bas reliefs and statues of Queen Cleopatra are the best proof,” the statement reads, according to Al Arabiya.
Mostafa Waziri, the head of the Supreme Antiquities Council, concurred. In a statement of his own, he said there’s nothing racist about going after the docuseries since Egypt is merely “defending the history of Queen Cleopatra, an important part of the history of Egypt in antiquity.”
Meanwhile, Egyptian lawmaker Saboura al-Sayyed reportedly renewed his calls for the country to ban Netflix.
James isn’t the only one to defend her casting in “Queen Cleopatra.” So has the show’s director, Tina Gharani.
Writing for Variety magazine in late April, she said that she’d grown up always wondering about the accuracy of Queen Cleopatra-themed shows that portrayed her as white.
“I was captivated, but even then, I felt the image was not right. Was her skin really that white?” she wrote.
She further argued that though the queen was descended from Macedonian royalty, “Cleopatra was eight generations away from these Ptolemaic ancestors, making the chance of her being white somewhat unlikely.”
Gharani also claimed James’ casting was a political issue.
“Why shouldn’t Cleopatra be a melanated sister? And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white? Her proximity to whiteness seems to give her value, and for some Egyptians it seems to really matter,” she wrote.
‘Queen Cleopatra’ Director Speaks Out: ‘What Bothers You So Much About a Black Cleopatra?’ (EXCLUSIVE) https://t.co/Xn8UcKCOGF
— Variety (@Variety) April 21, 2023
Dovetailing back to James’ interview, she added that she’s faced “death threats” and “racist comments” ever since she was picked for the role.
“But I guess my main thing is that there is no circumstance under which it is acceptable for anybody to treat me or anybody else the way that I and the cast and crew have been treated since the announcement,” she said.
“The death threats that I’ve received, the racist comments, it’s just the vitriol. It’s not necessary, and it’s very harmful. I feel very sad for people that they would do that to someone they don’t know or to someone they know,” she added.
She further stated at the time that she was worried that the hate would only double once the show was actually released (its release date is May 10th).
“I mean, all we did was release a trailer and look at the response, so I’m anticipating a wave still yet to come. But I think social media and the internet have blown up at a rate that obviously none of us could have predicted. So it isn’t necessarily the safest place to be. But me? I’m stubborn. I’m not being driven off of social media by anybody. Especially not bullies and racists,” she said.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Queen Cleopatra’s race has stirred controversy. When Israeli actress Gal Gadot was chosen to play her in a movie back in 2020, critics accused the movie’s producer of “whitewashing” the legendary figure.
As you might have heard I teamed up with @PattyJenks and @LKalogridis to bring the story of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, to the big screen in a way she’s never been seen before.

Running a manufacturing business is never easy. Aside from the administrative tasks, you also need to ensure the operations will run smoothly. This is where buying and using certain pieces of manufacturing equipment comes into play. Typically, having the right equipment comes with several benefits. It helps boost productivity and profitability, making it an essential component of your company’s success.
However, choosing the proper equipment can be a daunting process. With various options to choose from, it’s easy to pick the wrong one and adversely impact your operations in the long run. Luckily, some ways can help you find the appropriate equipment for your business.
Read on this article to learn about the five tips to consider when making the right purchase of manufacturing equipment.
1. Assess Your Business Needs
One of the best ways to help you buy the right manufacturing equipment is to evaluate your business needs. Since purchasing equipment can cost you some money, you need to ensure it’s the right thing to do for your company. If you want to be clear with your business needs, it’s important to assess some circumstances such as the benefits of the purchase and whether the purchase meets present and future needs.
For example, if your business finds it hard to cope with the production demands or wants to increase production, purchasing manufacturing equipment is justified. Also, if your manufacturing process requires exact specifications of materials, you may need high-quality and heavy-duty equipment like CNC precision machining.
Evaluate your business needs, so you can be sure that the purchase will add value and growth to your company in the long run.
2. Think About Your Budget
Buying a piece of manufacturing equipment can be a significant investment. One wrong decision can negatively affect your business’s overall financial situation. As such, it’s crucial to consider your budget when making a purchase decision.
For example, if you require equipment to streamline your processing operations for a long time, you may need to get a new one to maximize its benefits. In such a case, you should have a considerable amount of capital to finance the purchase costs. Also, your budget should include all the maintenance and repair expenses in case some problems arise. Lastly, just like other business assets, a piece of manufacturing equipment will wear over its lifespan, making it an additional cost to keep in mind.
Hence, if you’ve decided to buy a unit, think about your budget first to see if it can cover the expenses.
3. Look For Reliable Equipment Providers
If you want to get the most out of your buying decision, you don’t simply go for the first supplier you come across. Since manufacturing equipment plays a crucial role in the success of your production, it’s essential to shop around and research your options. Before spending your hard-earned cash on equipment, check the supplier’s reputation in the industry as well as experience with the kind of business you’re operating.
For example, consider buying from a vendor that has a physical store where you can visit anytime. If possible, ask for their permits and authorization documents to see if they can serve you properly. Also, try to request a list of references, including the names of some individuals you can ask regarding the unit.
By doing all these things throughout your search, you’ll better understand what kind of supplier you’re working with and the equipment you’re spending your money on.
4. Check The Warranty
Since manufacturing equipment can be expensive, it’s also vital to check the warranty period before purchasing. Generally, a warranty can offer you an adequate assurance that the unit is high-quality and tough to last for a long time. For instance, a lengthy warranty period means the equipment is designed and made based on strict manufacturing standards.
With that in mind, it’s best to look at the warranty period before using your negotiation techniques to close the deal and ensure you buy the right equipment.
5. Inspect The Equipment Before Buying
Sometimes, a piece of equipment may have some issues that can potentially affect your operations and, in turn, cause some financial losses to your company. Hence, you can make the right purchase if you’re able to inspect the manufacturing equipment beforehand.
For example, by conducting a thorough inspection before deciding to buy the equipment, you’ll know whether you require extra features to be integrated or some spare parts to be replaced to ensure functionality.
Because of this, it’s crucial to have an inspector check the unit carefully before making a decision. Doing so can save you from headaches that may occur if you choose and buy the wrong unit.
Purchasing the proper equipment can have a significant impact on your manufacturing business. Any snap decisions can cost your company’s efficiency and productivity. By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll be more confident of investing your money in a unit that can ensure your company’s long-term growth and success.

The PROMISE study, a study designed to detect early signs of multiple myeloma in high-risk adults, is one of the many ways Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is helping to advance the prevention and early detection of cancer. Becky Nutley, a multiple myeloma patient at Dana-Farber, has seen the study’s “promise” firsthand.
In December 2014, after routine blood work for psoriatic arthritis, Becky was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. “I was in complete shock. I was only 39 years old and had two young boys. But over time, I became more optimistic and positive,” Becky says. “I started living and enjoying every day and tried not to think about the future so much.”
Becky’s initial diagnosis was of smoldering myeloma, a precursor condition to the full-blown disease. After her early diagnosis, her oncologist, Irene Ghobrial, MD, Lavine Family Chair for Preventative Cancer Therapies at Dana-Farber, asked Becky to be a patient advocate for the PROMISE study, to raise awareness of these precursor conditions.
In addition to smoldering multiple myeloma, precursor conditions include MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) and Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. African Americans and people with a parent, sibling, or child with multiple myeloma or a precursor condition are at a higher risk of developing the disease and may be eligible for the PROMISE study.
“It’s very important that those who are more at-risk be screened,” Becky says. “It’s important to raise awareness, too, because if caught early, this cancer can be treated as a chronic disease. There are so many readily available treatments that help, and I am encouraged by the growing research and awareness.”
Becky’s treatment plan began with a two-year clinical trial for smoldering myeloma. She was the first patient to enroll in PROMISE under Dr. Ghobrial’s care, and since then, her treatment plan has included a stem cell transplant and maintenance therapy. Recently, Becky enrolled in another clinical trial.
“I’m a working mom and want to make my boys’ life as normal as possible so I try to keep things routine,” Becky explains. “I am tired and have bad days, but I try to enjoy each day and not take anything for granted. I try to appreciate it all.” For more information to see if you or a loved one would be a good candidate for the PROMISE study, visit the PROMISE study website today.

BENGALURU: The Chandrayaan-2's Vikram module has been located on the lunar surface and it must have been a hard-landing, Isro
chairman K Sivan
said on Sunday, in an admission that the planned soft-landing wasn't successful.
"Yes, we have located the lander on the lunar surface. It must have been a hard-landing", Sivan told PTI.
The image was captured by on-board camera of Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which is healthy, safe and functioning normally in the intended orbit around the Moon.
The orbiter camera is the highest resolution camera (0.3m) in any lunar mission so far and shall provide high resolution images which will be immensely useful to the global scientific community, the Bengaluru-headquartered space agency had said earlier.
India's bold mission to soft-land on the moon suffered a setback with the 'Vikram' module losing communication with ground stations, just 2.1 km from the lunar surface during its final descent in the early hours of Saturday.
Considered as the "most complex" stage of the country's second expedition to the moon, the lander was on a powered decent for a soft landing when it lost contact.
The data is being analysed, the Isro had said soon after.
Asked if the lander was "damaged" during the "hard landing", Sivan said: "That we do not know".
But some space experts said Vikram suffering damage in the hard-landing cannot be ruled out.
"It may not have landed at a desired level of velocity. It may not have landed on its four legs. Impact shock may have caused damage to the lander", according to a space official.
"When the system does not work well, it (the lander) will go and hit the Moon. There is no ambiguity in that", another veteran space expert said.
"Unless all the things are compensated ... compensating gravity, it (the lander) will not come down smoothly and touch the surface. That's the critical part of the whole maneuver", he said.
Sivan had said on Saturday that the space agency would try to establish link with the lander for 14 days and reiterated on Sunday after it was located on the lunar surface by Chandrayaan-2's on-board cameras that those efforts would continue.
He had said that Vikram lander
's descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km, but subsequently, communication from the lander to ground stations was lost.
A senior Isro official said time was running out and possibility of re-establishing communication looks "less and less probable".
"Progressively ... as time goes by ... it's difficult (establish link)", the official said, but added that with the "right orientation" it can still generate power and recharge batteries with solar panels.
"But it looks less and less probable, progressively", the official said on condition of anonymity.
According to Isro, 90 to 95 per cent of the Chandrayaan-2 mission objectives have been accomplished and it will continue to contribute to lunar science, notwithstanding the loss of communication with the lander.
The space agency also said the precise launch and mission management has ensured a long life of almost seven years, instead of the planned one year for the orbiter.
Meanwhile, Sivan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address and outpouring of support and kind words for Isro after the Chandrayaan-2s Vikram unsuccessful bid to touchdown on Lunar surface have boosted the morale of its scientists and engineers.
"We are extremely happy (the PM's address as well as nation rallying behind Isro). It has boosted the morale of our people", Sivan told PTI.
"We are so touched," former Isro chairman K Kasturirangan said.
"The country has given a good, positive response. PM was incredible yesterday", he said, praising Modi for inspiring, encouraging and reassuring Sivan and Isro team and fully backing them.
"The way he (PM) conveyed it ... so passionate ... so emotional and sometimes rich with meanings and positive responses. I think we could not have expected anything better. Fantastic", he told PTI.
"We are definitely grateful to the nation and PM", said another former Isro chairman A S Kiran Kumar, who noted that there are hundreds and thousands of variations that were possible for the soft-landing mission, as he underlined the complexities of the mission.
"We appreciate that the country and people were able to actually take note of this and continue to give their support. So, it's very positive. We are grateful to the entire country", he said.
The successful touch-down would have made India the fourth country after erstwhile USSR, the US and China to achieve a soft landing on the moon, also the first to launch a mission to the unexplored south pole of the Moon.
The orbiter payloads will conduct remote-sensing observations from a 100 km orbit.
Chandrayaan-2, a follow-on mission to the Chandrayaan-1 mission undertaken more than a decade ago, comprises an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan).
The orbiter carries eight scientific payloads for mapping the lunar surface and study the exosphere (outer atmosphere) of the Moon.
Isro on September 2 successfully carried out the separation of lander Vikram (with rover Pragyan housed inside) from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter.
The Vikram module, which was supposed to carry out various tests on the lunar soil, had completed the rough braking phase as planned and entered the phase of fine braking at an altitude of 2.1 km, when it lost communication.
Isro officials said on Sunday that data available till the lander lost communication with the ground-stations was being analysed to find out what exactly went wrong, but declined to specify a timeline for completing the exercise.
'Vikram', named after Dr Vikram A Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space programme, was designed to execute a soft landing on the lunar surface and to function for one lunar day, which is equivalent to about 14 earth days.
The rover was to roll down from the lander explore the surrounding lunar terrain, a few hours after the planned soft-landing.
Chandrayaan-2 is a Rs 978 crore unmanned moon mission
(satellite cost Rs 603 crore, GSLV MK III cost Rs 375 crore).
India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV MkIII-M1 successfully launched the 3,840-kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft on July 22. Watch Isro gets image of Vikram lander on Moon's surface, but no communication established


On the 21st of February, a procurement agreement was signed for the US $92-million expansion of Chi Nai Mo Water Supply Plant in Vientiane Capital.
The project will be funded with a low-interest loan from the JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency).
The signing ceremony took place at Crowne Plaza Vientiane between Director of the Vientiane Public Works and Transport Department Mr Dethsongkham Thammavong, Director of the Lao Water Supply Enterprise Mr Khampheuy Vongsakhamphoui and Director of Oriental Consultants Global Asia Ryohei Ishii, in the gracious presence of Vientiane Capital Vice Mayor Mr Keophilavan Aphailath, Deputy Minister of Public Works and Transport Mrs Vilaikham Phosalath, Deputy Minister of Finance Mrs Thipphakone Chanthavongsa, representatives of JICA and other officials.
Vientiane has set an ambitious plan to increase the number of households with access to water supply to 80% for suburban areas and 90% for the entire population in the country’s capital, according to the Manager of the Vientiane Water Supply Expansion Project Mrs Bouavone Luangkhod.
“We assigned the Department of Public Works and Transport and the Vientiane Water Supply Enterprise to conduct a feasibility study with JICA into the waterworks expansion project in 2014. And based on our estimates, the project will be able to provide safe water to 160,000 people and increase the daily production of the Chi Nai Mo water supply plant from 40,000 cubic meters (current capacity) to 380,000 cubic metres by 2025,” said Mrs Bouavone.
The financial loan provided by the Government of Japan will be divided into two amounts; the first one being spent on consultancy for the project and another one for the construction of infrastructure and facilities.
Under the agreement, the Vientiane Water Supply Enterprise is required to pay the debt within 30 years.

Is it over for Chad Pennington? He torn a capsule in his throwing shoulder putting him out for the season. It marks the third time he suffered a shoulder injury in few years. As much I like him he got to consider on calling it quits. His finest moment when he beat Brett Favre led New York Jets, his original team he started for, to give Miami Dolphins at 11-5 record, AFC East crown, and trip to the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys, in two possessions, made it to the one yard line only to get two field goals out of it. It was their second trip on the yard line their play-calling were questionable. Instead going for established run they threw both times and didn't score a touchdown. They need to work goalline red zone.

Dear ESPN, quit glorifying Vikings winning pass TD like its the greatest thing since slice bread! There were better plays like a fake field goal touchdown that actually worked this time.

NORTH AND EAST SYRIA — Due to the difficult economic situation in the region, the Social Affairs and Labor Authority of the Democratic Autonomous Administration (DAA) of North and East Syria announced an initiative to deliver baskets of food and hygiene products to assist families most affected by the recently imposed curfew to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
“This initiative is due to the health conditions in the region,” said Co-Chair of the Social Affairs and Labor Authority. “Thousands of food baskets are processed and will be distributed under the lists from the provinces and the number of most needy families in the region.”
“The aim of the program is to help the poor and needy inside stuck at home due to the curfew and has been coordinated with the Economic Authority and Nowruz Company to secure the required materials,” added Ismail.
On 12 April, the Health Authority of the DAA warned of an imminent humanitarian disaster due to sharply increasing cases of the coronavirus, saying that it is approaching the barrier of losing control of the situation and criticizing the World Health Organization’s lack of seriousness in providing support to the people of North and East Syria.

This bedroom (from Marks & Spencer) has two key trends. One: Mismatched patterns in muted colours go really well together. And two: If you’re not ambitious enough to try this bookshelf nightstand, simply stack some books to create an ad hoc table.
The small white bedroom on the second floor of this Victorian terrace house had been painted a rather gloomy blue. To make the most of the light, newlyweds Sophie and Dan opted to repaint the room with Dulux’s ‘Pure Brilliant White’ while lemon yellow accents bring further warmth to the room. The divan bed is furnished with a buttoned ‘Bekkestua’ headboard from Ikea and the cane mirror hung over the bed was bought on a trip to Saffron Walden.
A Fifties, brass wall sconce hangs above one of two vintage Scandinavian rosewood chests from Sigmar in this bedroom – the prize find of the project, according to the rooms designer Suzy Hoodless. ‘I slightly wish that I’d kept those for myself,’ she says wistfully. Charcoal coloured walls are combined with a lush velvet headboard in navy blue – one of our favourite bedrooms ideas.
Designer Guy Goodfellow has made the window a feature in this manor-house bedroom in Devon. Its casement is painted in Rose of Jericho’s ‘Mountain Green’, framed by thick linen curtains and with a smart seat underneath. The ceiling is painted with floral motifs, giving the appearance of pargeting. To replicate these murals, try the painter Dawn Reader.
A net of interlocking ribbons attached to blank walls is a great way to display your favorite photos, postcards or other paper memorabilia. Plus, the art can be switched out at any time to suit changing moods, styles or tastes.
An attic conversion makes for a perfect guest room. The scheme is simple but elegant with minimal but impactful pieces of furniture and furnishings. A sofa allows guests a little chill out time away from the rest of the house. Be careful though, they may not want to leave.
Don’t be afraid of the dark! Dark colours have become really cool in interiors and bedrooms are amazing spaces to use them. This dark blue creates a really dramatic space and draws your eye to the crisp white linen and the light of the window. Image credit

This gorgeous girl’s room has hand painted, full room wall mural with wooden floors. The atmosphere in this room is enough to give wings to the imagination to your little fairy. I won’t be surprised to find her in the land of ‘Sleeping Beauty’, fast asleep in the garden, waiting for her prince. The traditional bed and the furniture the mystic feel of the atmosphere.
Well i do like some of the characteristics of these rooms im 14 and for my birthday i want to redo my room well i looked this website up and i found that most of this stuff is really expensive so im just picking certain things i like outta each picture….myabe in the future try designing for smaller less expensive rooms
The key to creating a cosy space? Three words: layering, layering, layering. Whether it’s pattern, colour or texture (all three is even better) more is more. To keep it from looking messy, make sure to repeat colours throughout the room and ensure there’s plenty of solid colour to break up the scheme.

Want to add some colour to your space? Don’t have the budget for a full makeover? A rug, a nightstand and some fresh flowers can transform a space from neutral to technicolour like that *snaps fingers*.
This bedroom resides in a period home with high ceilings, classically inspired mouldings and beautiful parquet flooring. As if that isn’t enough, it’s filled with a mixture of mid-century furniture and lighting, breathtaking art and a sophisticated and restrained colour palette. For me it is the embodiment of ‘timelessness’. It will look as good in ten or twenty years time, just as it wouldn’t have looked out of place thirty years ago. It’s also impossible to tell if the owner is male of female. Another sign of simple good taste. And yet, it’s no museum piece, and has all the attributes of a comfortable and restorative bedroom. The pillows are plump and smooth. There’s an extra wool blanket to ward off winter chills. There’s a warm rug for bare feet, and the reading lights are positioned just where they are most effective. There’s even candles handy for when the mood dictates. If I was to add anything, it might be a padded headboard, but then the artwork wouldn’t be centre stage. That’s another word for this room.

Owner Lavinia needs no introduction to regular readers of House & Garden, as she has been one of its legendary house finders since 1986. Between then and now, she has scoured the British Isles and beyond in pursuit of the best in interior decoration, and at last count has visited about 4,000 houses on behalf of the magazine. This is the first time that one of her own houses has featured here. ‘After all these years,’ she says with a laugh, ‘I thought, well, why not?’
I love how Martyn Lawrence Bullard combines vibrant colours with serenity and calm in this bedroom; a perfect setting for colour lovers, who want to wind down in a relaxed setting after a hard day’s work. The different textures, such as the fur throw and carpet provide a great contrast to the mirrored bedside tables, which makes the room dynamic and interesting. I also love the ethnic element (Ikat cushions) combined with the ‘Modern Glamour’ style, which gives the room a new dimension. And how great is the coffee table at the end of the bed? I don’t like bedside tables, that are full of books and magazines, so this provides a great stage option that prevents cluttering the room and at the same time looks great! Image credit
In a valley on the Waddesdon Manor estate sits Flint House, an award-winning example of contemporary architecture commissioned by Jacob Rothschild. David Mlinaric, a long-time collaborator of the Rothschilds, helped with the interiors, acquiring the odd new piece of furniture and dipping into the Waddesdon storeroom, known as ‘the Pink Shed’, for others. In the main bedroom a feeling of cosseting warmth has been created in this otherwise white interior by painting two walls a rich teal and adding a large dark carpet in a sumptuous fabric. The sceme is tied together by the dark valance, while a convex mirror by Collier Webb adds sparkle and reflects the landscape.
We recently updated my 8 year old’s bedroom and Pinterest was a great source of inspiration for me. She has a small room and I wanted to make the most of the space and decorate it in a way that would see her through her pre-teen years. I’m a huge fan of white walls and light spaces that can be brought to life with a splash of colour and styled with a bit of black too – you can’t go wrong with monochrome! This picture inspired me when I was putting her room together. I love that there is a place of everything but it still looks stylish AND lived in. The monochrome styling mixed with the pops of colour and a few kitsch accessories all work so well together. Image Credit
im 13 … and when i were 8 i had my room done pink and purple… now im allowed it re-done when your about 16 years old would you really want a pink room? im 13 and i want a black and white mirror effect room… those rooms are really big not everyone has a huge room and can afford… i wouldnt be able to either i think teens like modern looks like cream or black and white stylish flowers or something :/ my opinion but some of those rooms are nice ? x
Define each area with a clear purpose, so that every inch of space works hard. Here, a desk doubles up as a dressing table with built-in drawers and three pretty mirrors. This clever trundle bed is perfect for weekend sleepovers!
Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay, the owner of this Victorian country house in Shropshire, has enhanced the interiors of this grand property with her signature mid-century aesthetic without compromising original features.
Anyone who reads my blog will know that I ADORE dark, moody, inky walls so this bedroom image caught my attention immediately! Pairing that gorgeous deep teal paint with the rose pinks gives the room a feminine touch without it being ‘too girly’. The off-centered image gives a quirky touch and the white frame contrasts beautifully against the dark background making the image pop all the more. The teal blanket beautifully ties in with the paint, brightening the space, and the marble print cushion adds texture and is perfectly on trend! This bedroom is a grown up, beautifully modern, luxurious space that I would love to sink into. The only thing I would change would be the size of the headboard, the bigger the headboard the better in my eyes! Image credit
To furnish the rooms of Song Saa, the private island hotel in Cambodia that she part owns with her husband, Melita Hunter travelled widely through South-East Asia gathering ideas and commissioning craftsmen.

Village resident Joyce Hatton, who launched the petition campaign in March with about 25 volunteers, said Sunday night that she has 349 signatures – more than the 306 necessary to put the issue on the Aug. 7 ballot.
She wanted to collect in excess of the required number by the May 15 deadline to cover any unqualified signatures or discrepancies during certification.
“I'm thrilled,” Hatton said Sunday. “When I realized this was over, I celebrated. My goals now are to educate people and get them to the polls.”
It will take two-thirds of village voters to vote “yes” to dissolve the village and have it be absorbed into Spring Lake Township. The village is within township boundaries, and although they share some services and amenities, each municipality has separate governing bodies and tax rates.
Village residents pay both township and village taxes.
Hatton noted that in her situation, taxes on her waterfront condominium would be about $1,200 less without the 11.66 annual village millage. Village millage rates have declined slightly during the past several years.
The township tax rate is 0.965 mills.

Soweto giant Orlando Pirates has recently been on a losing streak, after failing to finish in the top eight last season and failed to win a single trophy throughout the season.
The losing spree has been highly criticised by fans and politicians alike, with former Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni once calling for Pirates to be banned from the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for two seasons.
This after the team’s fans went berserk and vandalised stadium property during the team’s match against Abafana be Style, Sundowns, earlier this year at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
The fans were not happy their team was losing six-nil to the Brazilians.
Last month, Pirates lost four-one to Supersport United in the Nedbank Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium, leaving fans hopeless.
Following the embarrassing loss, EFF leader Malema said he was “consulting top legal minds” regarding the team’s performance.
“We feel very strong that the matter should go to the Constitutional Court, hai man,” complained Malema on Twitter.
However, sangoma Nzama Maluleke from Meadowlands, Soweto, seems to think there is more to Pirates’ losses than meets the eye.
Speaking to the Daily Sun on Tuesday, Maluleke said Pirates were being followed by bad luck. He advised the team to slaughter three cows, three white goats and three white chickens and ask for good luck from their ancestors.
“I am told by the ancestors that Pirates’ troubles won’t end until they do the right thing and slaughter animals. They told me things would continue this way or even get worse if the team didn’t do what they were supposed to,” he was quoted as saying by the tabloid.
According to the sangoma, the cows would stand in for all late players of the team, the goats would serve as a thanksgiving gesture for the success the team has had, while the chickens would be to ask for more trophies.
Maluleke said he had been ignoring the dream for while, but could not anymore as the team kept struggling.

Stagecoach invests in vehicle location
Stagecoach has made a multi-million pound investment in an automatic vehicle location system to track its 7,000 strong regional bus fleet in the UK. The contract for the technology was awarded to VIX Technology. Work on a pilot is expected to be completed by summer 2014, with the system fully deployed in late 2015. The system will be used to track vehicle location, monitoring and reporting progress in real time. It will provide this information to back office systems for use on bus stop displays, mobile apps and the internet. Stagecoach claims it will be the first major UK bus operator to use ticketing system technology in this way nationally. It also expects the technology will help improve schedule efficiency and service performance. The operator’s existing VIX TP5000 ticket machines already support ITSO smartcards.
MD of Stagecoach UK Bus, Robert Montgomery, said, ‘Technology is opening up new ways to make travel easier for our customers and Stagecoach has a track record of being at the forefront of transport innovation. Passengers want certainty over when their bus will arrive. Investment in this new system will help deliver a platform to provide better journeys for our customers, more cost effective information provision by local authorities and improve the efficiency of our own operation. We already provide the lowest bus fares of any major bus operator in the country, as well as delivering the best customer satisfaction of any national bus operator. We hope this new technology will help encourage car users to make the switch to greener, smarter bus travel.’
