The drama with his baby mama and that juicy text message scandal with the star of a popular reality show are things of the past.
Rather than Nick Lachey chilling with a smokin' hot girlfriend (Vanessa Minnillo) or Matt Leinart with a young son (Cole), the two buddies have decided that it's probably a lot more fun to hang with hot, young chicks! Nik Richie at the The got these photos of the two stud muffins hanging hot tub-side at Matt's place in Arizona over the weekend.
Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart and his girlfriend Josie Loren are tying the knot.
Leinart proposed to Loren, an actress, over the weekend.
The broken collarbone he suffered this year might make it difficult to hold Cole, but Matt Leinart insists he wants to spend more time with his kind, not less.

On Monday, June 3, 2019 New Covenant Legal Services (NCLS), a St. Louis City-based
legal services organization filed a petition in Cole County Circuit Court against the Missouri
Family Support Division (“FSD”) and a number of its employees. The petition seeks monetary
damages and declaratory relief on behalf of Mr. Jamie Wesley related to a wrongful license
suspension as well as subsequent child support collection efforts. The license suspension
occurred in September of 2018 and cost Mr. Wesley the loss of his employment as a professional
truck driver. Wesley’s case has been well documented in a recent story by St. Louis Post
Dispatch columnist, Tony Messenger, and a subsequent editorial that appeared in the PostDispatch on May 28, 2019.
The multi-count petition also makes numerous Constitutional Due Process challenges
concerning a number of other aggressive collection tactics that are routinely utilized by FSD
against fathers who allegedly owe past child support. The petition specifically attacks the FSD
policy of allowing FSD employees with no legal training to arbitrarily impose collection efforts
without court orders or judicial oversight. Wesley also challenges the FSD practice of allowing
massive child support arrearages to be assessed against incarcerated individuals who have no
ability to either pay or challenge the arrearages as they accumulate.

This reserve is made up of a series of lakes, ponds, river, wet woodland and grasslands - creating a great place for a riverside stroll, and host to a variety of wildlife.
This former gravel and sand extraction pit has been transformed into a series of three lakes â€“ the Main lake, Eco lake and Northern lake. These lakes are encompassed by wet woodland, ponds and grasslands. Kent Wildlife Trust are managing over half of the site on behalf of Ashford Borough Council (ABC); with Ashford Leisure Trust (ALT) and Mid Kent Fisheries also working in partnership. The reserve has great views and footpaths to the Wye Downs, and good access links from Ashford â€“ a gateway to the Stour Valley.
The reserve is rich in birdlife on and around the lakes. Take a frosty morning walk in the winter months to see the migratory wildfowl and wetland birds, including species such as shoveller, wigeon, tufted duck and Gadwall. In the spring, catch the migrating warbler species and breeding birds around the lake edges, and hear the skylarks singing in the skies over the summer. Look out for the kingfishers zipping across the surface of the lakes and along the river profile.
Other wildlife the site has to offer include a large array of butterfly and dragonfly species in the summer months, keep your eyes peeled for weasels darting across the paths, and grass snakes bathing in the sunshine.
Whether it be a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, a wildlife watch area, or to pitch up on one of the picnic tables for an alfresco lunch â€“ Conningbrook has something to offer all.

It is a tumultuous period for the Southeast Asian economy, as it is for many regions around the world, and challenging times undoubtedly lie ahead.
GDP contraction expected in 2020
Economic growth in 2019
While the diversity in Southeast Asia usually makes it difficult to draw broad conclusions and forecasts, there is one particular factor impacting all economies in the region, and globally – COVID-19.
With the US-China trade war having taken its toll on Southeast Asia, growth in the region had slowed between 2018 and 2019, recorded at 4.5% for the year. The latest Global Economic Outlook from Oxford Economics projects the region’s GDP to contract by 4.2% in 2020. Furthermore, the road to recovery is uncertain at present, with global activity sluggish, a resurgence of the virus in some countries and tensions between the US and China rising once again, following the Phase 1 Agreement in early 2020.
Given the abovementioned diversity in-region and the varying mechanisms adopted to control the virus, the economic recovery periods will vary. Countries that have found a balance between kickstarting the economy while suppressing the virus, such as Thailand and Vietnam, are expected to recover in a more timely fashion, while others who were hastier in their easing of restrictions and were hit with a resurgence of COVID-19, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, will endure a more prolonged recovery.
Governments within the region have introduced a range of fiscal stimuli in an effort to keep their economies afloat, from pandemic support payments for citizens to central bank rate cuts. Some countries, such as Vietnam and Malaysia were focused on fiscal consolidation pre-COVID, and yet, faced with this crisis, Vietnam has had to roll out a package equating to 3.6% of GDP. Meanwhile, Singapore’s measures are projected to stand at almost 20% of GDP. However, as the crisis continues to drag on, some of the weaker economies within Southeast Asia will almost certainly struggle to fund another round of stimulus packages.
It is a tumultuous period for the Southeast Asian economy, as it is for many regions around the world, and challenging times undoubtedly lie ahead. While some countries look to have struck a balance between suppressing the virus while still keeping their economies afloat, and so are well-placed on the recovery trajectory, others appear to have lifted restrictions too early and are now suffering with additional waves of the virus with already weak healthcare systems, inferring a prolonged recovery period. All in all, it looks like the medium to longer-term impacts of COVID will vary significantly in-region.
While the medium to long-term effects of COVID-19 and the extent to which they take hold remain to be seen, Singapore, like many other countries at this point, entered a recession in Q2, with GDP for the quarter contracting by 13.2%.
Looking forward, the Government is expecting GDP to shrink by 4-7% this year, noting that the pace of Singapore's recovery will inevitably depend on how well the public health situation is managed and whether community infections can be kept at a relatively low level. The construction industry accounts for approximately 4% of Singapore’s GDP per annum.
To date, the government has announced four support packages worth close to S$100 billion (nearly 20% of GDP), and has not ruled out announcing another package.
Following a strong performance in 2019, whereby the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) previous forecast to hit a five-year high of S$33.4 billion was surpassed with 9.3% growth in demand, 2020 was expected to be another good year for construction. The BCA projected that total construction demand would range between S$28 billion and S$33 billion, of which 62% (between S$17.5 billion and S$20.5 billion) was projected to be public sector. Demand was projected to then reach between S$27 billion and S$34 billion per year for 2021 and 2022, and between S$28 billion and S$35 billion per year for 2023 and 2024.
The public sector was expected to continue leading demand, contributing S$16 billion to S$20 billion per year from 2021 to 2024, with building projects and civil engineering works each accounting for half of this figure. BCA also expected private sector construction demand to stay at a moderate level pre-COVID, in view of the likely continued global economic uncertainties and the current overhang in the supply of private residential housing units.
However, construction in Singapore has been severely impacted by the global pandemic, unsurprisingly, with an extended circuit breaker period in place for eight weeks. This meant that all building works, as defined by the Building Control Act, were required to cease with effect from 7th April 2020. All stakeholders of the construction industry, including developers, builders, qualified persons, site supervisors and construction material suppliers had to comply with this suspension. ‘Phase 2’ followed this, with restrictions marginally lifted. For the most part, projects (particularly private) are now achieving significantly lower productivity levels than pre-COVID.
Recognising the negative impact that the circuit breaker would have on businesses, the Singaporean Parliament passed the COVID (Temporary Measures) Act on 7th April 2020. The Bill seeks to offer temporary relief to businesses and individuals who are unable to fulfil their contractual obligations because of the impact of COVID.
Construction in Singapore now faces a protracted slowdown in growth in the medium-term. Output growth, in real terms, is expected to decrease to 2.7% in 2020 and 0.5% in 2021, with the residential and commercial sectors particularly affected. There is a slowdown in private projects, while businesses face fierce competition, tighter margins and slow payments.
Construction insolvencies increased by about 5% in 2019 year-on-year, and another 5% increase was expected in 2020 prior to the pandemic. Construction businesses can now choose adjudication under the recently updated Building and Construction Industry Security Payment Act (with an emphasis on debtor protection and corporate rescue), rather than resorting to litigation or arbitration. While this offers valuable breathing space and a chance of survival for struggling SMEs, slow payments continue to trouble businesses.
The Singaporean Government recognises that putting in place tighter measures to prevent the spread of COVID means extra costs for the construction industry and is bearing some of this cost using the Fortitude Budget. To assist with the balance of additional costs, the BCA have introduced the following support measures:
Sharing of prolongation costs (Government agencies share 50% of the prolongation costs for project delays due to the circuit breaker, capped at 1.8% of the awarded sum). There is no requirement for private projects.
Wage subsidies – for example, in April 2020, the Government was paying 75% on the first $4,600 of monthly salary for every local employee
Foreign worker levy waiver/rebate (S$90 monthly rebate for each work permit holder up to S$920 million until the end of 2022). Additional costs come in the form of safe accommodation, a higher volume of lorries to transport workers and PPE.
In the longer term, companies are encouraged to push for automation in order to reduce reliance on migrant workers. The public sector, for example HDB, will continue to take the lead in adopting DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) in their building projects, where 75% of all its units launched in 2020 will adopt DfMA methods, such as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) or Advanced Precast Concrete System (APCS). The transformation efforts have also led to the redesign or creation of new and better jobs, such as digital lead and DfMA production manager within the sector. There are four significant challenges ahead in the construction industry in Singapore:
New workers are not permitted to enter Singapore and some of the existing workforce has left. Of those that remain, a small portion will be assigned to work on the construction of the new quick-build dorms as opposed to the projects already started.
With the number of workers available to work restricted and strict working conditions imposed, both the production and productivity rate is expected to reduce by circa 25%.
There will be a substantial decline in revenue coming in as a result of no work being undertaken during the circuit breaker. This is compounded by the fact that COVID may trigger the force majeure clause within a standard building contract, which typically results in time but not cost. This already has and will continue to result in company closures and contract terminations.
Whilst BCA states that more than 2,500 construction projects have been given the go-ahead to restart work (900 of which are residential), main contractors have not had the required time to implement the necessary COVID restrictions, meaning that there have been delays in getting some starts back up and running. Thanks to extensive testing and dorm quarantining, the spread of COVID within worker dorms has significantly reduced.
Overall, the impact of COVID on the Singaporean construction industry is expected to be six to nine months (three months circuit breaker; three to six months loss of production).
Pre-COVID, the data centre construction market in Singapore was already expanding, with heavy investment in the region, and this has been further accelerated with the onset of the global pandemic. This demand has been reinforced by increased internet traffic, thought to stand between a 30-60% increase figure in Singapore, as restrictions meant people have been at home and spending more time online. Video conferencing and online entertainment e.g. streaming, downloads etc. represent the majority increase in online traffic.
However, given the strength of Singapore’s existing infrastructure, with a 30% buffer in design, this surge in demand has not proven to be problematic, and the Government is working with telecom providers to further increase their buffers in anticipation of future requirements. Ultimately, APAC is set to be the fastest-growing region for data centres. It is anticipated that the region will house 47% of global data servers by the end of 2020.
Given the current climate, the Government has reduced the supply of private residential units on the confirmed list by 23% (equivalent to 1,370 units). This means that the housing supply proposed for the confirmed list is the lowest since the first half of 2016. This follows already subdued demand pre-COVID, given the dampening of developers’ interests in en-bloc transactions following the cooling measures that were introduced in July 2018. The sites on the confirmed list will be launched in the final quarter of this year and have a longer tender period of six months to allow developers more time to make their assessment in view of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
The reduction in housing supply will result in developers focusing on selling properties from existing projects and ensuring that they overcome construction issues and meet completion deadlines.
Government investment in infrastructure and civil engineering was expected to remain high, with projections of between S$27 billion and S$34 billion in 2020 and 2021, which are now being revised. Given the uncertainties about the future of the aviation and travel industries as a result of COVID, the decision has been made to pause the construction of Changi Airport Terminal 5 (S$10 billion) for at least two years. Tendering for the major civil engineering was due to commence in Q3 2020, and it is worth noting that whilst Changi Airport's passenger load has significantly reduced, cargo traffic has remained static. Other significant megaprojects in this sector that have been scaled back include the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line and the new Tuas Mega Port.
As is the case globally, the corporate landscape has changed dramatically, with working from home the norm, with a significant number of large organisations stating that they do not expect their employees to return to the office until 2021. This has resulted in a seismic shift in the requirements for workspaces, meaning that even offices only recently completed will require some form of design changes to meet the current guidelines and restrictions. These could range from layout considerations with regards to social distancing, to going handsfree with automatic doors and switches, to the introduction of temperature monitoring as standard and smart controls for AC systems.
The impacts are being felt in the market already, with research from real estate consultancy, Edmund Tie, indicating a 0.8 percentage point decline in Singapore office occupancy rates to 92.8% in Q2, which is largely attributed to reduced demand in the CBD and CBD Fringe zones.
Lower global trade, ongoing trade policy uncertainty, less demand from China and the ICT downcycle have an immediate impact on Singapore’s export-driven economy. While the economic impacts of the pandemic are undoubtedly significant, construction has been particularly impacted by the eight-week circuit breaker putting a stop to all building works, followed by the ‘Phase 2’ restrictions, and now reduced productivity on return to site.
The Government is bearing some of the burden brought about by the protracted slowdown in industry growth via its Fortitude Budget, but it must be noted that construction in Singapore has been particularly hard-hit. Ultimately, as the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold, the long-term effects of the pandemic are still emerging and will continue to change over the next number of years.
Following 0.7% growth in Q1 2020, the Malaysian economy posted a 17.1% contraction in Q2, as COVID took its toll – the worst performance since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1998. This contraction reflects the significant impact of the economic disruptions resulting from the Movement Control Order (MCO) imposed during the quarter, which had a knock-on effect on key sectors, with all declining bar agriculture, which recorded a 1% increase in output.
The global economic shock has led to weakened external demand conditions, which is resulting in production constraints, and both private sector consumption and investment, as well as public investment have plummeted, by 18.5%, 20.5% and 38% respectively.
In terms of support measures, the Government has announced tax deductions on contributions to the COVID-19 Funds set up by the Ministry of Health and the National Disaster Management, as well to any approved organisation or institution. Furthermore, an import duty and sales tax exemption has been granted on a range of items until further notice. Pre-COVID, as mentioned in our March edition of this publication and our Southeast Asia review earlier in this document, Malaysia had been focused on fiscal consolidation.
In addition to the current economic and public health challenges being faced at present, Malaysia has faced political issues, with former Prime Minister, Najib Razak, found guilty of all seven charges in his first trial linked to the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal. Current Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, is now discussing a potential election in March 2021, to “straighten the messy political scene by seeking a fresh five-year mandate from the people”.
While the Malaysian labour force grew 1.7% year-on-year to 15.8 million persons, the unemployment rate hit 4.9%, down from May’s record-high of 5.3%, after holding steady between 3.2-3.4% in 2018 and 2019.
The Malaysian construction industry has not gone unscathed in the current crisis, with works shut down on a large number of projects during the circuit breaker period, unless the works fell into pre-defined criteria regarding contractor classification, essential works and almost-complete projects, amongst other factors. The value of work done contracted by 6.3% in Q1 2020 year-on-year, and the Department of Statistics reported declines across a number of sectors in the first quarter, at 11% in non-residential, 8.6% in special trades activities 7.6% in residential and 2.3% in civil engineering.
Similar to many of its neighbours and other countries around the world, Malaysia faces a challenging road ahead, with the economic shock causing a sharp contraction. It also has political challenges compounding the issues posed by the global pandemic. With a high proportion of construction shut down during the circuit breaker, the industry is feeling the impact across multiple sectors. However, it is hoped that the recovery will not be prolonged and will see Malaysia record positive growth again in the not-too-distant future.
Although Vietnam is feeling the effects of COVID-19, like many countries, the impact does not appear to be as severe as it is elsewhere. Following robust GDP growth of 6.8% in 2019, the country’s economic growth in 2020 was expected to be around 7% before the pandemic struck, and it is now expected to slow down to 3%. Although this is a significant reduction, it still marks a level of economic growth as opposed to the contraction being recorded elsewhere.
Inflation was steady at 4% in 2019, and despite the consumer price index recording a six-year high for the first seven months of 2020, weakened demand, both domestically and in global markets, means that the inflation rate is expected to grow by 3.2% year-on-year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In terms of the labour force, the Ministry of Labor reported a 33% increase in urban unemployment in Q2, while the average income per worker decreased by 5%.
The construction industry plays a key role in supporting Vietnam’s economic growth, having grown 8.5% per year on average over the last decade.
In Q2 2020, GDP from construction in Vietnam increased to 89,659 VND billion, up from 35,837 VND billion in Q1, due to many projects being closed down in the first quarter as a result of COVID. All non-urgent construction projects were suspended from mid-February to mid-April, with social distancing measures being implemented on sites upon their re-opening.
The negative impact of the pandemic on construction has been somewhat mitigated by two key factors, according to risk and research firm, Fitch. The US-China trade war had already spurred on the move from China to Vietnam for a number of low-end electronics and textile manufacturers, signaling an influx of foreign investment, which has been coupled with rapid urbanization due to shifting demographics. This in turn has led to a forecast of 7.2% growth in the demand for new buildings in Vietnam between 2021 and 2029.
As of April 22, 2020, the World Bank has provided Vietnam with US$24.44 billion in grants, credits, and concessional loans. Most of these investments will go towards developing the country’s sustainable, urban and rural developments, thus supporting the construction industry.
Tender prices will see an inevitable increase as a result of COVID-19 social distancing measures, along with material imports remaining a challenge, as borders in Vietnam remain closed as of July 2020.
Vietnam continues to evolve rapidly, with its shift to a centrally-planned economy leading to it now being one of the most dynamic emerging countries in East Asia region, according to a 2019 World Bank report. For a number of reasons, COVID is having a much lesser impact on Vietnam than what we are seeing elsewhere, and with its strong fundamentals and seemingly firm control of the crisis, the Vietnamese economy and construction industry are both expected to rebound in 2021.
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, which is home to more than 260 million people, is expected to contract by 1% in 2020 according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB). This follows a four-year-low growth rate of 5% in 2019, with the ADB expecting 2021 to rebound to 2019 levels. It had revised the 2.5% annual growth forecast that it had made for the Indonesian economy at the end of Q1, illustrating the speed at which the impact of the virus was being felt. The reduced growth forecast is in line with the International Monetary Fund’s forecast for a 0.3% annual contraction and a 0.8% annual contraction forecast by Moody’s. The Indonesian Finance Minister has projected a 3.1% year-on-year contraction of the economy in Q2, following growth of 2.97% year-on-year in Q1. ADB expects annual inflation to decline to 2%, having been 2.8% in 2019 and 3.2% in 2018.
The Government has announced three budgets totalling IDR677 trillion to counteract the impact of the virus, which has impacted all sectors of the economy, including the important tourism sector, which the government estimated would suffer a US$10 billion revenue loss in 2020 at the end of Q1.
The impact of COVID-19 is expected to be relatively short-term, and Indonesia is expected to resume its positive economic trajectory once the virus has been contained. The World Bank published a report entitled ‘Aspiring Indonesia – Expanding the Middle Class’ just prior to the emergence of COVID-19, which noted that Indonesia had achieved an average growth rate of 5.6% over the previous 50 years, and that over the previous 20 years, the majority of the poor and vulnerable have escaped poverty.
The Indonesian construction industry experienced an annual growth rate of 5.8% in 2019, exceeding the growth rate of the economy, but the impact of COVID-19 has already slowed the year-on-year growth value for the first quarter of 2020 to 2.9%. This slowdown is expected to continue through Q2 and Q3, with President Joko Widodo expecting the virus to peak in August and September. Similar to the majority of other countries, we are likely to see contraction overall for 2020 in these challenging times, prior to an expected return to growth in 2021.
The resumption of growth will be spurred along by the Government announcement in 2019 of the intention to spend IDR571 trillion on the development of Jakarta’s transport infrastructure by 2029, IDR6 quadrillion to develop the country’s infrastructure between 2020 and 2024, and to add 430GW of power plant capacity by 2050. The Jakarta transport initiative includes 120km of light transit rail corridors, and the nationwide initiative includes 25 new airports. Following his re-election in 2019, President Widodo approved plans to relocate the national capital to East Kalimantan in Borneo. The decade-long project is estimated to cost IDR482 trillion and is included in a national backlog of projects estimated to stand at IDR9 quadrillion in 2019.
Throughout the pandemic, much construction work has continued, notwithstanding the issuance of Instruction No. 02/IN/M/2020 by the Minister of Public Works and Housing in relation to the ‘Protocol for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 in Construction Works’ on 27th March. The instruction was addressed to officials at the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) and its supply chain and applies only to MPW projects. The instruction covered COVID-19 prevention protocols during construction, the impact of COVID-19 on construction contracts, and protocols for preventing COVID-19 in the procurement of goods for construction services.
The requirement to fund national efforts in relation to COVID-19 has compelled the reallocation of resources away from government budgets for activities considered to be non-urgent in relation to ministerial travel, workshops, meetings, seminars and state events. The Public Works and Public Housing Ministry has suspended some infrastructure projects following the Ministry’s decision to reallocate a significant proportion of its efforts to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The postponed projects included overhauling an irrigation network in Aceh, revamping the waterfront in Pariaman, West Sumatra, and the Sp Tohpati - Tjokroaminoto bridge in Bali. Delays in other projects have also been announced, including the Jragung Dam in Central Java, the Way Sekampung Dam in Lampung, the Temef Dam in East Nusa Tenggara, and construction of ring roads at Kuningan East in West Java and Brebes in Central Java. IDR45 trillion of funding has been reallocated to finance COVID-19 related emergency measures, such as the construction of Galang Hospital in Riau Islands.
Work has resumed on Phase 2 of the Jakarta MRT project after a three-month delay due to COVID, commencing with a 2.8km tunnel, which will ultimately see the mobilisation of 2,000 workers to the site. Elsewhere, work is ongoing on the 142km long Jakarta-Bandung high speed railway. The project has proceeded using modified health and safety protocols.
In summary, while Indonesia is feeling the impacts of COVID, along with the vast majority of other nations, the outlook for recovery is relatively optimistic. This is particularly true of the construction industry, which was not as severely impacted as many other countries, given that a significant level of activity continued through the pandemic, and is somewhat buoyed by the considerable investment in infrastructure projects. However, as is the case globally, it remains to be seen what the long-term impacts of COVID will be, given that future waves of the virus cannot be ruled out.
Following decade-low GDP growth of 2% in 2019, South Korea’s GDP is expected to contract by 1.2% in 2020, which contrasts with the pre-COVID forecasts of 2.4% from the Finance Ministry, 2.3% from the OECD and 2.2% from the IMF. The global economic downturn caused by the US-China trade dispute played a major part in the decade-low GDP growth in 2019.
Whilst it is too early to predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on construction costs, the new on-site regulations and measures have led to a drop in productivity and efficiency on sites across the South Korea region. The considerable reduction in the number of workers allowed on-site has had a profound impact on project progress within the industry.
GDP from construction has increased marginally to US$19 billion in Q2 2020 compared to US$18.7 billion in Q1, and this is largely attributed to the relaxation of the COVID restrictions.
Overall the projection is for a 2.8% decline in the construction industry in 2020. The South Korean Government, however, intends to mitigate this by investing US$27 billion in the infrastructure sector, in a bid to replace and upgrade aging infrastructure, including roads, bridges and tunnels over the next four years. The Government has also announced several stimulus packages and adopted accommodative fiscal and monetary policies, by reducing the benchmark interest rate from 1.25% to 0.75%. In addition, liquidity is being supported via an injection of funds into the banking system, coupled with emergency financing.
The residential sector in South Korea is expected to be the hardest hit, and with the number of residential building permits already down by 24.5% in 2019, figures are continuing to fall in 2020, exacerbated by the pandemic’s impact on household incomes and consumer confidence.
The Government is aiming to support domestic contractors with securing contracts overseas (in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eurasia and the Americas) by providing consulting and financial aid. Of the proposed 30 projects, 15 will be investment developments, where South Korea will have a Public Private Partnership, in which Koreans provide equity investment, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance over a contracted period of time. The other 15 proposed projects will be limited to the construction phase alone, with financing and overall management led by local partners. However, there are valid concerns about the logistics of these overseas plans, as travel and exports remain a challenge in these uncertain times.
Tender prices are anticipated to significantly increase across the market as a result of the pandemic, and the current severe shortage in building materials is expected to drive overall construction costs upwards. Labour costs are also expected to trend upwards, due to a limited number of skilled foreign workers in the country as a result of South Korea’s strict border control.
While South Korea is expecting contractions in both its economy and its construction industry, the Government is adopting a number of fiscal and monetary measures in an effort to combat the negative effects of the pandemic. However, as is the case for many other countries, the longer-term impact will depend on the trajectory of the recovery, and whether a resurgence of the virus takes hold.

AMY Winehouse’s ex husband Blake Fielder-Civil has admitted “full accountability” for introducing the late star to heroin – and told how he has “carried that cross” for 10 years.
The pair met in Camden, London, in 2005 and married two years later.
Just months later they were pictured together after a furious bust-up – with Amy wearing smeared eye make-up and bloodied ballet pumps and Blake with scratches on his neck.
It later emerged that the pair had been taking heroin.
On Amy’s birthday anniversary Blake told the ITV daytime show: “I think about her [Amy] a lot.
“I thought about her this morning, and I said Happy Birthday to her.
“I will always, always miss her. She was my best friend.”
Blake then openly addressed suggestions he was to blame for Amy’s passing, stating: “I have needed to stop carrying that cross.
Most read in News TV
“I have carried it for over 10 years.”
Susanna suggested it was reported Amy tried heroin because she saw Blake doing it.
He admitted “full accountability” for introducing her to that drug and said: “Yes, that’s right.
“I tried that particular drug a handful of times and I hadn’t gone down any bad roads with it.
“I know that’s a bizarre thing to say. It hadn’t taken us to the depths it did.
“It was still very much – not glamorous – I’m not trying to pretend it was, it was just a drug.”
He then told he would have done “almost everything” differently if he was granted his time with Amy again.
Blake told how he was on a mission to be “kinder to myself” but told how he had not reached out to Amy’s family on today’s anniversary, as he did not feel it would be welcomed.
Former public school pupil Blake was jailed for his part in a bar assault on a pub landlord in 2008 – leading to Amy’s famous Grammy Awards tribute to: “My Blake, incarcerated.”
Blake filed for divorce from Amy shortly after his release, and their split was finalised in 2019.
Until recently he had not been seen in public since a TV appearance in 2018, which saw him slam former wife Amy’s family for putting on gigs with her performing as a hologram.
He went on to claim that accusations he had cashed in on her memory himself were “misleading” and added that he wasn’t “the only one” to blame for her tragic death of an alcohol overdose.
Before Amy’s death she was one of the biggest names in music known for her unique voice and powerful lyrics.
But she sadly died of alcohol poisoning and was found lifeless with a laptop on her bed and empty bottles of vodka on the floor in her North London flat.
She had battled drug and alcohol addiction as well as mental health issues since 2005.

text: Primary symptomatic herpes simplex virus infection in children usually manifests as gingivostomatitis and is prevalent in the 1- to 3-year age group. The disease involves the buccal and gingival mucosa and the tongue, and lasts approximately 2 weeks. Two recent non-blind studies reported a more rapid regression of symptoms after treatment with aciclovir suspension. Three randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have clearly demonstrated that early aciclovir treatment significantly shortens the duration of all clinical manifestations and infectivity of affected children compared with placebo. We conclude that the treatment of herpetic gingivostomatitis with aciclovir is recommended. Treatment should be started within the first 3 days of disease onset. The proposed therapeutic dose is 15 mg/kg, 5 times daily for 5 to 7 days.

That’s the real star of this book, not the display of unexplained proto- Akira telekinetic combat, but the straight lines and concrete doom of the exactingly rendered environment of apartment blocks as it is constructed to an oppressive degree around the large cast of lightly sketched characters and then as it is deconstructed as part of an explosive, intense, and often horrific psychic battlefield.

This notice provides the Census Bureau's final criteria for defining urban areas based on the results of the 2020 Decennial Census. This notice also provides a summary of comments received in response to the proposed criteria published in the Federal Register on February 19, 2021, as well as the Census Bureau's responses to those comments. The Census Bureau delineates urban areas after each decennial census by applying specified criteria to decennial census and other data. Since the 1950 Census, the Census Bureau has reviewed and revised these criteria, as necessary, for each decennial census in order to improve the classification of urban areas by taking advantage of newly available data and advancements in geographic information processing technology.
The Census Bureau's urban-rural classification is fundamentally a delineation of geographical areas, identifying individual urban areas as well as the rural portion of the nation. The Census Bureau's urban areas represent densely developed territory, and encompass residential, commercial, and other non-residential urban land uses. The boundaries of this urban footprint have been defined using measures based primarily on population counts and residential population density, and also on criteria that account for non-residential urban land uses, such as commercial, industrial, transportation, and open space that are part of the urban landscape. Since the 1950 Census, when the Census Bureau first defined densely settled urbanized areas of 50,000 or more people, the urban area delineation process has addressed non-residential urban land uses through criteria designed to account for commercial enclaves, special land uses such as airports, and densely developed noncontiguous territory.
In developing criteria for delineating urban areas, the Census Bureau uses an objective approach that is designed to meet the needs of a broad range of analysts and users interested in the definition of and data for urban and rural communities for statistical purposes. The Census Bureau recognizes that some federal and state agencies use the Census Bureau's urban-rural classification for allocating program funds, setting program standards, and implementing aspects of their programs. The agencies that use the classification and data for such nonstatistical uses should be aware that the changes to the urban area criteria also might affect the implementation of their programs.
While the Census Bureau is not responsible for the use of its urban-rural classification in nonstatistical programs, we will work with tribal, federal, state, or local agencies as well as stakeholders, as appropriate, to ensure understanding of our classification. Agencies using the classification for their programs must ensure that the classification is appropriate for their use.
Over the course of a century defining urban areas, the Census Bureau has introduced conceptual and methodological changes to ensure that the urban-rural classification keeps pace with changes in settlement patterns and with changes in theoretical and practical approaches to interpreting and understanding the definition of urban areas. Prior to the 1950 Census, the Census Bureau primarily defined “urban” as any population, housing, and territory located within incorporated places with a population of 2,500 or more. That definition was easy and straightforward to implement, requiring no need to calculate population density; to understand and account for actual settlement patterns on the ground in relation to boundaries of legal/administrative units; or to consider densely settled populations existing outside incorporated municipalities. For much of the first half of the twentieth century, that definition was adequate for defining “urban” and “rural” in the United States, but by 1950 it became clear that it was incomplete.
Increasing suburbanization, particularly outside the boundaries of large incorporated places led the Census Bureau to adopt the urbanized area concept for the 1950 Census. At that time, the Census Bureau formally recognized that densely settled communities outside the boundaries of incorporated municipalities were just as “urban” as the densely settled population inside those boundaries. Outside urbanized areas of 50,000 or more people, the Census Bureau continued to recognize urban places with at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 persons. This basic conceptual approach to identifying urban areas remained in effect through the 1990 Census, although with some changes to criteria and delineation methods.
The Census Bureau adopted six substantial changes to its urban area criteria for the 2000 Census:
Defining urban clusters using the same criteria as urbanized areas.
Disregarding incorporated place and census designated place (CDP) boundaries when defining urbanized areas and urban clusters.
Adopting 500 persons per square mile (PPSM) as the minimum density criterion for recognizing some types of urban territory.
Increasing the maximum jump distance for linking densely developed territory separated from the main body of the urban area by intervening low density territory from 1.5 to 2.5 miles. This recognized the prospect that larger clusters of non-residential urban uses might offset contiguity of densely settled territory.
Introducing the hop concept to provide an objective basis for recognizing that nonresidential urban uses, such as small commercial areas or parks, create small gaps between densely settled residential territory, but are part of the pattern of urbanization.
Adopting a zero-based approach to defining urban areas.
For the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau adopted moderate changes and enhancements to the criteria to improve upon the classification of urban and rural areas while continuing to meet the objective of a uniform application of criteria nationwide. These changes were:
Use of census tracts as analysis units in the initial phase of delineation.
Use of land use/land cover data from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) to identify qualifying areas of non-residential urban land uses.
Qualification of airports for inclusion in urban areas.
Elimination of the designation of central places within urban areas.
Requirement for minimum population residing outside institutional group quarters.
Splitting large urban agglomerations.
The notice published in the Federal Register on February 19, 2021 (86 FR 10237) requested comments on proposed criteria for delineating the 2020 Census urban areas. The Census Bureau received 106 responses directly related to the proposed Urban Area Criteria. Responses were received from regional planning and nongovernmental organizations, municipal and county officials, Members of Congress, state governments, federal agencies, and individuals. The Census Bureau's decisions on changes that were incorporated into the Urban Area Criteria for the 2020 Census benefited greatly from the comments received in response, as well as comments received during webinars, conference presentations, consultations with professional geographers and other social scientists who work with and define urban and rural concepts and classifications, meetings with federal, state, and local officials and other users of data for urban areas, and additional research and investigation conducted by Census Bureau staff.

The Glass House
by Eve Chase
"Outside a remote manor house in an idyllic wood, a baby girl is found. The Harrington family takes her in and disbelief quickly turns to joy. They're grieving a terrible tragedy of their own and the beautiful baby fills them with hope, lighting up the house's dark, dusty corners. Desperate not to lose her to the authorities, they keep her secret, suspended in a blissful summer world where normal rules of behaviour - and the law - don't seem to apply. But within days a body will lie dead in the grounds. And their dreams of a perfect family will shatter like glass. Years later, the truth will need to be put back together again, piece by piece . . ."--Publisher description.


But Dan’s The Man!
But of course, we all know that Dan the Man for this blog is the Councillor for Long Buckby near Northampton.
He has been telling the press how wonderful it will be for the Council to own that former Bus Garage now that Church’s (after a brief pause of nearly ten years) have decided not to do something with their dramatic purchase of the site for expansion.
Historic and iconic frontage? Quite how Dan the Man is going to tie in new housing with the frontage is unclear …
… and even if such were feasible, which frontage?
Later, buses used an exit further west …
… presumable added as the town and its fleet expanded.
Despite Dan’s assurances, you would have to think that the whole garage block would bite the dust (make the (dust?) to clear the way for housing.
Notice the tram tracks of nearly 90 years ago?
Maybe the most effective remembrance would be to keep the tram tracks (and a tram?) in one of the roads of the new development and reuse some of the detail in various properties?
One positive is that everyone is agreed that the 1939 office block …
… MUST be retained in all its art-deco magnificence. The main staircase has had its bannisters removed by a scrap merchant, officially or unofficially fbb knows not.
It would make a nice ‘Spoons for St James! Or the council could keep a bit of the shed and provide a gorgeous depot and exhibition centre for the Heritage Group’s bus fleet and their recently collected ephemera which could then go back home.
West Northamptonshire Council is taking steps to purchase the former St James Bus Depot and ensure the large brownfield vacant site benefits from regeneration to meet the needs of our local community.
Since West Northamptonshire Council was made aware of Church’s Shoes’ intention to sell the site, the Council has been working closely with them. As one of the last remaining brownfield sites in Northampton, it is important for local businesses and the local community to make sure that the best regeneration and economic potential of the area is realised.
WNC has engaged with Church’s to agree on the purchase of the building and is now looking at the future viability of the site through a feasibility study to ensure that any future development meets the needs of our residents and while maintaining the historic character of this landmark.
The council has explained why it bought a bus depot for £3.3million without a democratic vote. A decision as big as this would normally go before a cabinet meeting, but this has not. Instead it was green lighted by Conservative councillor Andre Gonzalez de Savage …
… chair of the Place Overview and Scrutiny Committee
Quite how one man can decide to spend over £3 million of council taxpayers’ money “under emergency procedures” is yet one more mystery of the democratic process of the UK. (See also Rishi Sunak cancelling a huge chunk of HS2!)
The St James depot site is set to be converted into ‘high-quality’ homes, according to WNC.
So not the high quality social housing that the town needs?
Explaining this decision, a WNC spokesman said the acquisition of the site will ‘enable the regeneration of a large brownfield site within West Northamptonshire’, ‘support the regeneration and economic wellbeing of West Northamptonshire’, and ‘deliver a housing scheme to address the needs of the local community’.
That would be the wealthy Conservative voting community, then, Andre?
Chair of St James’ Residents’ Association, Graham Croucher, has criticised WNC’s handling of the scheme.
Mr Croucher said: “Published a day after the announcement of depot purchase, the leader’s report mentions nothing of preserving the building frontage nor consultation with stakeholders.
“The report thereafter is contradictory within itself and it is not clear what will actually be developed on the site. It would seem none of the figures quite add up yet, with demolition and clean up costs an unknown quantity to add to the overall costs. The fact that scrutiny was unable to be done on the purchase, and therefore the costs, will be of concern to some, given some previous purchase deals.
There is a very large and very empty hole where the Greyfriars bus station once stood!
“Heritage, despite the council’s assertions, seems to be a low priority in favour of as yet an unspecified content of development. The report completely ignores the historical aspect of this site. We urge the council to provide a robust, meaningful consultation with local stakeholders and historical groups. Listen to residents.”

The Grapes of Wrath
The Grapes of Wrath a master piece novel by John Steinbeck published in 1939. Somewhere I read recently that the Nobel Prize committee needed author John Steinbeck more than John Steinbeck needed them and I suspect whoever said that is correct. I had heard of Grapes of Wrath all my life but somehow was not moved to pick up the book. Well… I said, let me read a few pages and then I’ll see if I read it. Mind you I had read Of Mice and Men so I was not completely oblivious to JS’s writing. But frankly that didn’t prepare me for The Grapes of Wrath. From the first moment I was blown away and couldn’t put the book down. What struck me the most was the novel’s dialogs. It is as if I could really hear the characters talk with their Oklahoma twang and all… simply fantastic!
The novel takes place during the depression years and it tells the story about how sharecropping families were being thrown out to the dogs to fend for themselves. The Joad family scrounged up whatever little money they could and headed to California, “the land of milk and honey” to try a new life. And from there, everything goes downhill in a hurry. What an irony that in today’s harsh economic times these stories are replaying themselves, for real.
So my recommendation to you is: just read it!

By 5:10 p.m. I'd thrown my brain into full leisure mode, preparing for my evening out with some Thrifty Queer Adventurers and yes, Friday night was karaoke night and no, yours truly did not perform, this time. On Sunday I communed with some woman made artwork.* I only wish I'd known before this weekend, last Friday was the artist reception. That would have been cool. Next time, for sure.

Server: horde mode mapchange bug
Retsnom last edited by
After a horde map is played and rotates out, on the next map, the server begins a timed hitching where the server will pause every 20 secs or so and act like some weird lag. The solution so far is to reload the current map and it goes away or to reboot the server. This seems to have started after the last update.

Because of these inherent advantages, most top-notch CBD oil products available today are removed from the Hemp plant. THC oil, on the other hand, comes from the marijuana plant, therefore it contains high quantities of THC and low levels of CBD.

So How Exactly Does CBD Work?
Cannabinoids are agonists that bind themselves to certain receptors within the body called cannabinoid receptors. Certain receptors are found through the entire human body using the majority of them found in the system that is nervous but receptors are available in almost every organ associated with body. Cannabinoid receptors are located in the skin, digestive tract as well as when you look at the intimate organs. The cannabinoid agonists connect to the cannabinoid receptors, a tiny bit like how an integral can activate a lock. This connection makes up the bigger endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is just a network that is big of proteins which all have various functions.
It is often said the ECS could be the many significant neurotransmitter system when you look at the human anatomy. The ECS is great for man physical function, such as for instance:

THC Cannabis oil and CBD have actually similarities however some differences that are important users.

Cannabinoids will be the substances secreted because of the flowers for the cannabis plant and include natural medicinal properties, providing relief from conditions including anxiety, discomfort, nausea, and infection.
Now you determine what cannabinoids are and their prospective effects that are positive aiding your physical systems, let’s examine cannabidiol oil made out of THC, perhaps not CBD. Once we talked about, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oil works by binding to cannabinoid receptors located within the mind and main stressed system, although not through the body like CBD natural oils.
Since THC and Cannabis natural oils have a greater portion of THC, it still causes users euphoric and reactions that are psychoactive like the emotions when individuals take cannabis recreationally. Aside from the high you smoke or ingest marijuana that you experience, the oil delivers a long list of short-term effects, which 300mg cbd vape oil are similarly present when. Each person’s reaction might differ within the signs it causes and their level.
As an example, some individuals, that just just take a reduced to moderate dosage of CBD, report a sense of relaxed and peace; others report increased anxiety amounts and unpleasant feelings. The intensity of those signs will largely be determined by an individual’s human anatomy composition. In addition, when you compare CBD vs. cannabis, it is vital to understand cannabis strains feature different degrees of oil concentration which determines the strength of impacts a user feels upon consumption. Some strains are suggested to make less symptoms that are profound reactions.
Nevertheless when some one takes the oil for the intended healthy benefits, they usually have no control of their effect plus the other signs they might experience. They need the wellness – perhaps perhaps not the– that is high Tetrahydrocannabinol oil has the major drawback of sometimes inducing anxiety, panic disorder, and paranoia.

Earlier today, Tyler Posey posted a video on Snapchat in which he proudly proclaims, "I'm gay!" Well, after speaking with reps for the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, it looks like Tyler just meant that he's "gay" as in happy! And I'm queer as in brb drinking bleach.
The Snapchat video in question, added on Friday, finds the 24-year-old actor approaching the intersection of Gay Street and Christopher Street in New York City's Greenwich Village neighborhood, about a block and a half from the Stonewall Inn. "This is me," Posey says as the camera zooms in on the green sign for Gay Street. "I am this, and this is me. I've never felt more alive!" he says as the camera switches over to selfie mode. "I'm gay!"
So, is Tyler Posey gay? Confusion spread from Teen Wolf fandom Twitter to Gay Twitter, the former ready to defend their idol and the latter ready and raring to call a queer-baiter out.
The likelihood that the teen-popular star, who got his start playing J.Lo's son in Maid in Manhattan, had just publicly come out as gay began to wane as a second Snapchat video was discovered in which Posey pulls the same "it me" act on an extendable wall lamp, ending the clip by enthusiastically declaring, "I'm lamp!"
I reached out to reps for the actor to get to the bottom of this DRAMA. A person from MTV's Communications department, who handles press for Teen Wolf, told me over email that she believes Tyler's alleged coming out as "gay" was "meant in the context of 'I'm happy,' not as a coming out." I also reached out to the actor's rep at Main Stage Public Relations but have received no confirmation one way or the other. I will update this article if I hear back.
So, it looks like Tyler Posey's not gay! He's just happy! Unlike the thousands—PERHAPS BILLIONS!!!!—of young queer kids who are struggling to come out of the closet at this very moment. Happy Friday, everyone!

Cipla to buy stakes in two biotech firms for Rs300 crore
16 June 2010
Drug maker Cipla has ventured into biotechnology by acquiring 40-er cent and 25-per cent stakes in two biotech firms - one in Goa and the other in Hong Kong - for $65 million (Rs300 crore).
The company informed the bourses that it would acquire a 40-per cent stake in the Indian biotech firm by subscribing to fresh shares of the company, which is setting up a state-of-the-art facility for biosimilar products in Goa. Cipla will have the rights to market the products in India and overseas.
It is also purchasing a 25-per cent stake in another firm in Hong Kong. The investment will be made through a wholly owned overseas subsidiary. The Hong Kong firm also has plans to set up a facility for biosimilars in Shanghai.
Biosimilars are new variants of biopharmaceuticals whose patents have expired. They are similar to the original product in terms of safety and efficacy.
''We will buy a 40-per cent stake in Goa-based Mab Pharm and a 25-per cent stake in Bio Mabs, Shanghai, through subscription of fresh shares,'' chairman Y K Hamied said. Cipla will fund the acquisition through internal accrual, he added. Mab Pharm and Bio Mabs are setting up biosimilar product making units in Goa and Shanghai, respectively.
Though the company did not disclose any further details on the acquisition or the therapeutical categories that it would target, reports said it planned to bring biosimilars to India at an affordable price. They said Cipla would target anti-cancer and asthma categories.
