At the beginning of MIC's latest series, Nicola had accused Binky of being fake towards her, but now it seems the girls have put their fiery encounter behind them, with the Chelsea newcomer turning to Binks for relationship advice - even if her boyfriend Alex Mytton is Binky's ex...
On Monday's episode of Made In Chelsea, viewers watched as Nicola confided in Binky about her and Alex's romance issues.
The Irish beauty had been told her co-star Jess Woodley claimed to have "unfinished business" with her boyfriend, after hooking up with Alex a few times before he and Nicola got together.
Revealing all to Binky, Nicola said: "I'm actually, weirdly, having a bit of an issue with Jess at the moment. Jamie basically told me that Jess said to him in Barbados that there was unfinished business with herself and Alex and that if I wasn't in the picture, she'd be in there."
Offering her co-star some advice, Binky replied: "That's exactly what happened to me... as soon as I finished with Alex, she jumped into bed with him pretty quickly. I will always be a bit wary of Jess. You need to have a conversation with her. You don't want it to come between you and Mytton."
With that, Nicola told Binky it was really nice to have a normal chat with her and it seems their bonding over Alex has now made the pair quite good friends.
Taking to Instagram, Nicola shared a photo of herself and Binks and the pair look pretty cosy, with Binky planting a kiss on her new found pal. Cute!
While Binky and Nicola may now be best buds, two Chelsea girls that still do not see eye-to-eye are Lucy Watson and Lauren Hutton.
Things have been pretty tense between the pair ever since Lucy accused Spencer of trying to hook up with her while he was dating Lauren.
Since then, Lucy has been avoiding Lauren and her co-star beau, but Spencer revealed in Monday's ep he wants to get back onto talking terms with his former flame.
With no intention of speaking to Lucy, Lauren told her boyfriend: "She tried to humiliate me. She tried to take a cheap shot."
She then continued to make digs about her co-star after dining in the same restaurant as Lucy. Spencer had sent Lucy over a bottle of champagne, but she and her date James declined to accept.
Spencer joked maybe James doesn't have a taste for the finer things in life, with Lauren quipping: "Well he is dating Lucy Watson."
When Spencer pointed out he too went out with Lucy, Lauren shot back: "We all make mistakes."
Made In Chelsea continues Monday 25 May at 9pm on E4.

Looks like many 2008 “hope” and “change” poster carriers won’t be quite as psyched to rally behind our President in 2012.
According to an October 7-10 Bloomberg national poll, “More than four of ten likely voters who say they once considered themselves Obama backers now are either less supportive or say they no longer support him at all.”
Also noteworthy from the poll: “The erosion of backing for Obama among onetime supporters has been most notable among two groups of voters who were central to his election: women and independents. More than six of ten of the former Obama backers who have turned away from him are women; 53% of the onetime supporters are independents.”
It seems Barry is having a little trouble with the ladies. And with independents. And—dare I say—with any sane person who recognizes that a rising unemployment rate and swelling federal deficit are the kind of “hope” and “change” we can do without.
This November’s elections will mark big victories for the GOP. But don’t expect Democrats to abandon their absurd slogans in response.
In fact, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine revealed a new logo and website for the Democrat Party in September. He asserted, “I’d like to unveil the new symbol of today’s Democratic Party: ‘Democrats. Delivering the change that matters.’”
Kaine, I don’t mean to pop your party balloons, but the “new” slogan is—well, old. We’ve seen the change. We’re broke from the change. Can I suggest something more appropriate? I’ll even keep the whole “change” theme: “Democrats: We like the word ‘change’. Because ‘tax-happy spendthrifts’ tends to rub people the wrong way.”
You haven’t heard any new talking points from Democrats this 2010 election season. And don’t expect to hear anything new from our President as we approach 2012.
He will play the same haggard Bush-blaming cards. He will continue to vilify Fox News, to lecture about how he’s a protector of the middle class, and to try to convince our youth once again that big government is somehow the ally of their big dreams.
His rhetoric is weary. As are his schemes.
But weary can still be incredibly destructive, which is why it’s imperative for Barack Obama to be a one-term President.
What will it take to beat him? It shouldn’t be that hard.
His policies have been wildly unsuccessful, he has persistently sided against the will of the American majority, and he appears to be in outer space when speaking without a script. According to Rasmussen on October 14, a mere 27% of voters strongly approve of the way Obama is doing his job.
Obama’s ideal contender should be someone who isn’t afraid to talk tough and knows his or her stuff, someone who will call our President’s lies what they are and can contrast his vague, verbose discourse with specific, concise, hard-hitting retorts.
Strong executive experience wouldn’t hurt, as there is no better contrast to a man who theorizes about business from an ivory tower than someone who came to understand business by running one.
Obama’s challenger must appeal to independents, many of whom aren’t happy with the destruction his agenda has unleashed upon our economy. He or she will need to snatch the attention of our youth and set the record straight on the lies they’ve been fed by Obama and the Obama-loving media.
The man or woman who steps up to the plate in 2012 should stand for the transparency our Manipulator-in-Chief claimed to stand for, should be brave enough to make spending cuts that may not always be popular, and should be willing to reject business as usual no matter what he or she stands to personally gain or lose as a result.
In other words, what we need is a leader, something we’ve been lacking for some time.
2010 conservative victories must be fortified by the election of a new President in 2012. There’s simply no other way for our country to take two steps forward without taking two steps back.
So, yes, I’m focused on 2010, but I’m also looking ahead to 2012.
Because America simply can’t afford another term of Obama.

Although guidelines for SLE treatment do exist and there is scarce evidence to support specific therapies for Latin American patients with lupus,16–21 this regional effort has considered the impact of racial/ethnic background1 10 22–28 and SES3 9 on lupus outcomes and treatment response.25 26 Other medication variables such as cost and availability were also taken into account since they affect adherence and are relevant in decision-making.27 28 GLADEL and the Pan-American League of Associations of Rheumatology have joined efforts to produce these guidelines,29 which are presented by organ systems, although manifestations usually occur in more than one. Nevertheless, treatment is usually tailored to the more severe manifestation(s), which usually benefits the less severe.
Any of a group of immunoglobulin autoantibodies that react with phospholipids, which are one of the primary components of the cell membrane (the other components are glycolipids and steroids). These antibodies are found in patients with a variety of connective tissue and infectious disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus, the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, syphilis, and malaria. They cause abnormal blood clotting, thrombocytopenia; and in women of childbearing age, repeated miscarriages. The anticardiolipin antibodies are one type of antiphospholipid antibody.
Steroids decrease inflammation and may be used to treat many inflammatory conditions and diseases, such as systemic vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjögren's syndrome. Steroids are injected, rather than administered orally, to deliver a high dose of medication to a specific area. Side effects of steroid injections include infection, tendon rupture, skin discoloration, allergic reaction, and weakening of bone, ligaments, and tendons.
Mortality rates for systemic lupus erythematosus are particularly high in children. In a retrospective study26 of Brazilian children, overall mortality during 16 years of follow-up was 24 percent. Death occurred because of infection (58 percent), central nervous system disease (36 percent), and renal disease (7 percent). When disease onset was before the age of 15 years, renal involvement and hypertension predicted mortality.
One common early symptom that can be indicative of lupus is a photosensitive rash, meaning a rash that develops in response to sun exposure, particularly on the face and upper arms, says Dr. Kramer. Other early symptoms are unexplained fever and pain, swelling, and stiffness of multiple joints. Complications such as inflammation of the lining surrounding the lungs or heart can also occur early on, he adds.
Ms. Everett began by explaining that there is no food that can cause lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, an illness that can affect many body systems. The foods that you eat, however, and the medications you take may have an effect on some of your symptoms. It is also important to understand that there is a link between lupus and osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Healthy nutrition can impact on those with these co-occurring diseases. Nutrition (e.g., in the case of osteoporosis, calcium intake) in turn may impact the symptoms and outcomes of these co-occurring illnesses. Here are some key issues and benefits that relate to proper nutrition and people living with lupus;
Pain is typically treated with opioids, varying in potency based on the severity of symptoms. When opioids are used for prolonged periods, drug tolerance, chemical dependency, and addiction may occur. Opiate addiction is not typically a concern since the condition is not likely to ever completely disappear. Thus, lifelong treatment with opioids is fairly common for chronic pain symptoms, accompanied by periodic titration that is typical of any long-term opioid regimen.
The history of SLE can be divided into three periods: classical, neoclassical, and modern. In each period, research and documentation advanced the understanding and diagnosis of SLE, leading to its classification as an autoimmune disease in 1851, and to the various diagnostic options and treatments now available to people with SLE. The advances made by medical science in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE have dramatically improved the life expectancy of a person diagnosed with SLE.
The mission of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases is to support research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases.
Patients with class III or IV disease, as well as those with a combination of class V and class III or IV disease, generally undergo aggressive therapy with glucocorticoid drugs and immunosuppressants.  Immunosuppressive therapy consists of induction and maintenance therapy. Induction therapy involves potent immunosuppressive drugs (eg, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide) to achieve remission; these drugs are generally used for 3 months to 1 year, with an average of 6 months’ treatment having been shown to be more efficacious and safer than long-term therapy.
If you plan to add herbs, dietary supplements, or vitamins to your diet, you should discuss your decision with your lupus doctor first. This is especially important as herbs or supplements may interact with medicines used to treat lupus. Herbs or supplements should never be used to replace medicines prescribed to control symptoms of lupus or medication side effects.
A lesion of the skin or mucous membranes marked by inflammation, necrosis, and sloughing of damaged tissues. A wide variety of insults may produce ulcers, including trauma, caustic chemicals, intense heat or cold, arterial or venous stasis, cancers, drugs (such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]), and infectious agents such as Herpes simplex or Helicobact
A. Like Gomez, people with lupus often begin chemotherapy, which helps to suppress the immune system. Gomez has said that she is in remission, which means her disease is not causing her any symptoms. With luck, these remissions can last for years. But about 25% of people with lupus a year experience a "flare," in which symptoms recur. To keep the disease under control, people with lupus need to be treated for the rest of their lives. Most take a drug called hydroxychloroquine, which is also used to fight malaria. People also usually take an immune-suppressing drug, Gilkeson said.
I recommend having your MTHFR genes tested, as this genetic mutation can impact how you detoxify mercury and other heavy metals. There are multiple options for heavy metal testing, however I’ve found the DMPS “challenge” test to be the gold standard. To assess whether someone is being exposed to mycotoxins, I use the test from Real Time Lab. If either heavy metals or mycotoxins are an issue for you, work on minimizing your exposure to these toxins, and be sure to support your detox pathways while you work to flush them out.
The classical period began when the disease was first recognized in the Middle Ages. The term lupus is attributed to 12th-century Italian physician Rogerius Frugard, who used it to describe ulcerating sores on the legs of people. No formal treatment for the disease existed and the resources available to physicians to help people were limited.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder that causes extreme fatigue. This fatigue is not the kind of tired feeling that goes away after you rest. Instead, it lasts a long time and limits your ability to do ordinary daily activities. The main symptom of CFS is severe fatigue that lasts for 6 months or more. You also have at least four of these other symptoms:

GILL, M.D., M.P.H., is director of the Health Services Research Group and associate program director of the family practice residency program at Christiana Care Health Services, Wilmington, Del. Dr. Gill received a medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey–Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, and a master of public health degree from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore....
“My message to patients is that we can do an excellent job of managing the condition compared to 20 years ago,” says Roberto Caricchio, MD, the interim section chief of rheumatology at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia and the director of the Temple Lupus Clinic at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. With that said, people should never underestimate the serious effects lupus can have, he adds, which is why working with your doctor to manage the condition is so important.

What is a sugar baby? 2 weeks . practice of arranged meet-ups in which the individuals exchange gift ideas or profit order to embark on sexual activity with no physical respond of making love ever being made. Sugar infants, also known as sugared dates, certainly are a relatively new transactional dating type typically described by an older wealthy individual and a younger more junior person in need of financial assistance in an economically helpful arrangement. The participants generally do not would like to own sexual relations, but typically do so under the pretense of giving younger person gift items, or profit order to help them with university or similar expenses. The very exchanges pounds or gift ideas are between your two people and there is usually not any sexual speak to involved.
How can a sugar baby differ from a sugar daddy? Normally terms they are simply much mature and often currently have multiple kids of their own. This gives them a whole new level of prosperity and effect within the better family framework and group of friends. But it may often keep these people feeling young and vulnerable, both these styles which personality the more mature https://www.sugardating4u.com/ males love.
So just why would someone enter what is often seen as an degrading and frequently degrading practice? It is reasonable to say that a lot of people who Sweets babies particular date are generally sad with their private or all their lack of accomplishment in life, which desperation frequently leads them to seem outside their particular family for the purpose of affirmation and support. Various sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships start off when nothing more than a casual friendship after which as time goes on the partnership develops and deeper thoughts begin to develop. This is where the sugar daddy affaiblir will often carry out another partner to fulfill their personal needs, just like financial support or a great emotional connection.
So why circumstance avoid what exactly is sugar baby relationship? The key reason being that the ladies involved are often inexperienced in the art of romance, and thus have very little thought how to maintain almost any relationship that is certainly long term. This inexperience also means the fact that women included have almost no understanding of how you can keep any sort of healthy relationship alive, not to mention one that will involve sexual activity. And once you put money in to the mix, tasks can quickly become messy and rancid.
In general, what is a sweets baby can be described as bad thought for those who are buying a long term, severe relationship. The fact that your woman engaged is unskilled in the skill of dating means that the lady comes with very little notion of what to do to hold a romance alive and thriving. Furthermore, she is generally on her personal in terms of money, therefore , any kind of sexual activity outside of the traditional room environment will likely be dependant upon her income. Furthermore, she will quite often be working with multiple associates, not just an individual, and this complicates matters even further. Couple that with the reality most sugars baby/dating relationships end within about a 12 months, and what you have can be described as sugar baby – or perhaps, as we’re going call her, a level below sugars.
What is a sugar daddy, then? If you are a young gentleman looking for several sugar seeing advice, the vital thing to remember is that these are not your single mother’s teenage love affairs, they can be daddy/baby relationships in the strict sense from the word. A very good sugar daddy can treat you wish a real person, with all of the respect and pride that you want from someone who holds it of Daddy. He will listen to you and make an effort to understand what you looking to accomplish in your life and will try to assist you to achieve your goals. And, most importantly, he may let you know there is nothing incorrect with you.

“I’m always struggling to find accessories for my bathroom. I have no idea what a good bathroom accessory is. Any suggestions?”
Great question! Often a room that is overlooked, bathrooms should be beautiful too! Bathroom accessories are what personalize a space and are a great place to add fun colour you may not have anywhere else in your home.
Try adding colored or patterned towels to your space. There are so many great colours and options, you can choose anything! If you’re stuck, try choosing a colour out of your shower curtain and adding that. No shower curtain? Neutral with a pattern with add that visual interest you’re looking for. Of course, if your bathroom is already bright and colourful.. a clean, crisp neutral with a subtle pattern will add that extra pop!
Small fake plants are a nice touch. There are many plants that are artificial but you can even tell! Choose a plant to place on your countertop or on another surface you have such as a shelf, toilet, edge of a bathtub.
I love candles in a bathroom. I think it gives the space a serene feel and they smell great! Beautiful candle holders, or just candles on their own are another great layer to add to the bathroom accessory list. You can have one large or a grouping of smaller ones. Choose something you love.
Art is a nice touch as well. Somewhere in the bathroom you will likely have a bit of wall space for a small piece or two. Add something that goes nicely with your previously selected colour palette. It doesn’t have to all be the same as what you have but something with a hint of consistency will blend beautifully into the space.
Small trays for jewelry and personal items are a functional and pretty option to keep on the countertop. Choose something shiny! Maybe something that matches the handles in your bathroom such as gold, chrome or brass. The continuation of similar metals makes your space look well thought out, and very harmonious.
The key is to repeat a colour. Having 7 different colours, patterns and textures may seem like a good idea, but it will likely just have an eclectic feel. Try to use some consistency and repeat an accent colour you have already started with.
And for anyone looking to sell their home, don't forget about staging your bathroom it really sets the scene for buyers. The bathroom is a hot spot that buyers look for so show it off with simple accessories.

Queens preservationists are partnering with the Mets to save the New York State Pavilion, an iconic structure built for the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park that has severely deteriorated over the years.
A portion of each ticket purchased for the Mets’ home game against the Giants on Friday, Aug. 1 at 7:10 p.m. will be donated to the People for the Pavilion, an organization dedicated to preserving and reusing the site.
Hmmm. The Mets have been sharing Flushing Meadows with the Pavilion in that condition for decades. But NOW they want to do something to help? I call B.S. on this. Save FMCP summed it up best:
Mets want to save the Pavilion? Then they should tell the city to keep the subsidies they're getting for the mall. http://t.co/HnKq7KVRze— Save FlushingMeadows (@SaveFMCP) April 13, 2014

Pedagogy 3.0 : Re-imagining STEM+ Teacher Preparation by Jim Vanides
There is a growing recognition that Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math (STEM) “literacy” for all students is critically important in this tech-enabled world we live in. That’s the good news. The dark side of the political discourse is that there’s too much focus on “STEM” as we’ve known it for the last 50 years. It’s time to revisit what “STEM” learning needs to look like – and redesign how we prepare STEM teachers…
I’ve already blogged about why “S.T.E.M.” (as an acronym and as “fields of study”) is so 20th century. This is why the HP Catalyst Initiative reframes the challenge as an opportunity to explore innovations in STEM+ learning and teaching. I suppose in some respects the “+” understates the importance of what is different. One BIG difference is the need to add global collaboration to the STEM experience – for both students and educators.
This prompted me to start referring to “Pedagogy 3.0”, which is what good instruction ought to look like in a post-Web-2.0 world (don’t blink – it will be 4.0 soon). It seemed fitting that should be the name for the HP Catalyst consortium that will explore what the future of STEM+ teacher preparation should look like. The HP Catalyst Pedagogy 3.0 Consortium will be led by Futurelab in the UK, which describes itself as “an independent not-for-profit organisation that is dedicated to transforming teaching and learning, making it more relevant and engaging to 21st century learners through the use of innovative practice and technology.”
Dan Sutch, Head of Development for Futurelab, will lead the Pedagogy 3.0 consortium – once HP selects the members from the large pool of applications. Dan shares his views of what the HP Catalyst Pedagogy 3.0 consortium will be all about in a short, informal video:
For those of you already engaged in "Pedagogy 3.0" - type of teacher education programs, I hope to hear from you! (Thanks for sharing, Dan!)
Jim Vanides is currently a Program Manager in Philanthropy for Hewlett-Packard, responsible for worldwide higher education grant initiatives (www.hp.com/go/hied-blog). He also teaches an online course offered through Montana State University for elementary teachers on the Science of Sound (www.scienceteacher.org). He holds a BS in Engineering and a MA in Education, both from Stanford University.

Honourable citizens and friends, I’m glad to announce my candidacy for the Firestone House of Representatives.
For too long have our citizens suffered from corruption. It affects all citizens, HALTS our progress as a state, and destroys any interest citizens have in our political system.
No longer. Justice will prevail, this is a promise that undoubtedly spreads fear into our politicians. No longer shall the same politicians make the same corrupt moves under the very noses of our citizens. I’m a new guy, full of ambitions and dreams, ready to revolutionize our corrupt system with fresh ideas.
We need strong willed politicians, ready to stand up against evil, uphold our rights in congress, truly represent US, as citizens. Politicians elected time and time again have lost touch with our citizens, they do not understand what we want. Every politicians runs under the guise of “protecting our free speech, protecting your guns, etc.” None of them act in congress, none of them address the real issues with our system. That is why I’m running with Firestone First, to destroy the true problems rooted in Firestone and it’s political system.
This is why I am running for the House; to do what people are so sick and tired of hearing about, and knowing that this goes on, and having no power to do anything about it.

The waste disposal industry holds immense significance on a global scale. It serves as a crucial countermeasure to the excessive waste generation of massive production industries that are quickly degrading the environment.
To understand the pivotal role of waste disposal, take a look at these worldwide statistics from The World Bank, which illustrate the effects of improper waste disposal:
- The world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually
- Projections indicate a 70% increase in global waste production by 2050, reaching 3.4 billion metric tons
In this blog, we will discuss how improper waste disposal can harm the environment and how sustainable waste management practices are the solution to this global issue.
How Improper Waste Disposal Affects the Environment
When waste ends up on soil or other land, and people do not process it, it leads to land pollution. The waste doesn’t just stay there; it breaks down over time and seeps into the surrounding areas, becoming dangerous for humans and other living organisms.
The waste that is not disposed of or does not lead to landfills often ends up in the ocean or other water sources. Over time, it deteriorates within the sea, gradually polluting the water and affecting aquatic life. This leads to water contamination, rendering freshwater unfit for human use and turning any body of water into a hazardous environment.
Air Pollution & Climate Change
Air pollution is a significant global concern, and understanding the environmental impact of improper waste disposal on air quality is crucial. Certain types of air pollution contribute to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to substantial shifts in the Earth’s climate. Inadequate waste disposal practices cause excessive gases to enter the atmosphere. The breakdown of waste also emits gases such as methane, a major driver of global climate change.
Climate change has led to a gradual increase in the occurrence of extreme weather and natural disasters. The change in the climate has resulted in an apparent rise in disasters such as tornadoes, heat waves and floods. The prevalence of hurricanes has also become more common as a consequence of shifts in the climate.
Untreated waste serves as a breeding ground for serious illnesses. Various types of diseases can thrive in locations like landfills. Polluted water bodies can also harbour many dreadful diseases. These diseases have the potential to impact animals, plants, and humans alike.
The presence of pollutants in the air and water has devastating consequences for plants, as soil containing these pollutants can kill plants. Even in cases where soil lacks pollutants, rainfall can introduce toxic elements harmful to plants, resulting in their death.
Animal and Marine Death
Both terrestrial and aquatic creatures die because of waste. From marine turtles and fish dying due to plastic pollution in oceans to animals ingesting dangerous substances scattered in their habitats, the natural world experiences significant mortality due to this. This way, inappropriate waste disposal is also serving as a catalyst for the extinction of numerous species, causing harm to ecosystems worldwide.
Loss of Habitats
Every creature has a range of environments appropriate for its survival. This is why you find certain species exclusively in particular regions. However, waste significantly contributes to global climate change, altering the size of habitats suitable for animals to thrive. The reduction in habitat size forces species like polar bears toward extinction as they endeavour to migrate away from their diminishing habitats.
Aside from the influence of global climate change, waste generates various alterations in the world, even in the infrastructure. Plastics and other wastes in nearby water sources obstruct drainage systems and contaminate potable water supplies. Zones marred by land pollution become breeding grounds for pests like rats, which flourish in unclean environments.
Waste also has detrimental effects on infrastructure. Plastics and other waste in nearby bodies of water obstruct drainage systems and pollute potable water supplies. Furthermore, regions affected by land pollution become favourable to pests, which can degrade infrastructure through their normal behavior, such as chewing through wires or obstructing pipes with nests.
Radiation and Hazardous Materials
The potential risks associated with radioactive waste often go unnoticed. Improper waste management of these hazardous materials can result in radiation contamination near the waste site. Furthermore, if industries fail to manage their waste using specialised industrial disposal services, harmful substances can infiltrate surrounding environments, posing threats to people’s well-being.
What is Waste Management
Waste management involves the process of collecting, transporting, and treating different waste substances. It can also be described as the handling, overseeing, and monitoring of different waste materials.
It’s crucial to prioritise sustainability in this context to ensure efficient waste management, avoiding improper waste disposal in landfills.
Sustainable Waste Management Strategies to Prevent Dangers of Improper Waste Disposal
Here are some key strategies to prevent the dangers of improper waste disposal:
1. Cut Down Consumption
The first step to handling waste better is using less stuff. We can make way less trash by being thoughtful about what we buy and avoiding things we’ll use only once.
2. Support Recycling
Recycling is important to keep trash out of landfill sites. Separating things like paper, plastic, glass, and metal saves resources and reduces pollution.
3. Encourage Reusing
Think about using things again instead of throwing them away. Giving items a new purpose, fixing them, or donating them can stop us from always needing new things and generating more waste.
4. Make Compost
Food scraps and yard trimmings can become healthy soil for gardens. Composting helps us make less trash and prevents greenhouse gases from entering the air.
5. Throw Things Away the Right Way
Dangerous items like batteries, electronics, and chemicals need special ways of getting rid of. This makes sure our soil and water stay clean and safe.
6. Educate Everyone
If we show communities why it’s good to manage waste, we can all work together to make a positive impact. Events, info, tools, and waste management training can help people make smart choices.
Properly managing waste is not just a choice; it is an essential commitment we must make to preserve the delicate balance of our planet’s ecosystems.
Improper waste disposal endangers the environment, affecting land, water, air, climate, wildlife, and human health. We can reduce the environmental burden by utilising sustainable waste management strategies such as embracing responsible consumption, recycling, reusing, composting, and educating the community.

Jeremy Corbyn ‘missed a prime opportunity’ to seize the devolution agenda from the Conservatives, says think tank.
Speaking at the Labour conference yesterday, Mr Corbyn talked about the importance of ‘winning power’ in local government, but did not mention devolution.
The Centre for Cities acknowledged the Labour leader proposed many policies that would benefit local authorities - allowing councils to borrow to build more homes, for example - but criticised him for what they characterise as an implied ‘top down, centralised approach’.
‘Improving transport and skills, allowing councils to borrow to build more homes, and investing more in research and development would all support growth,’ said the think tank’s chief executive Alexandra Jones.
‘But, housing aside, too many of the measures announced today imply a top down, centralised approach, from a national education service to the nationalisation of railways.’
Ms. Jones said the Labour leader’s speech lacked ‘bold policies’ on devolution, such as enabling city regions to retain local tax revenues for investment.
‘With ongoing speculation about the May government’s commitment to devolution, and Labour likely to win many of the metro mayor contests in May 2017, the party has missed a huge chance to steal a march and set out its own ambitious vision for giving more power to places and people,’ she said.
Senior local government figures blasted Whitehall’s ‘frustrating silence’ over devolution this week.

The waters of São Tomé: a calving ground for West African humpback whales?
AbstractIn the Southern Hemisphere, humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae feed in Antarctic waters during the austral summer and migrate to their breeding grounds in subtropical and tropical waters during the winter. Historical whaling records suggest that the Archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe, located in the Gulf of Guinea, serves as a possible breeding ground. In order to investigate the temporal occurrence and group composition of humpback whales around São Tomé Island, annual surveys were conducted during the breeding season between 2002 and 2006. A total of 186 boat-based surveys took place during this period. Data collected during each sighting included geographical positions, group size, group composition and behavioural classifications. Of the 66 groups encountered, mother/calf pairs made up a large proportion (65.15%), followed by solitary individuals (15.15%). Mother/calf pairs were seen in the region into November and resightings of identified animals indicate periods of occupancy that extended over three weeks. Few behaviours typically associated with mating activity were observed. Given the high percentage of mother/calf pairs, sometimes with very young calves, and the low frequency of mating activity, the waters of São Tomé may primarily serve as a calving and nursing or resting area for humpback whales.

Thailand beat Singapore 3-0 on Sunday to advance to next week's semifinals of the Asean Football Federation Championship along with Sven-Goran Eriksson's Philippines.
Singapore needed to win against the defending champions to force their way into the top two in Group B of the regional championship yet their three-goal defeat means Thailand finish top of the standings while the Philippines take second after a 0-0 draw with Indonesia.
Thailand will face Malaysia in their semifinal, which will be played over two legs on Dec. 1 and 5, while Vietnam face off against the Philippines on Dec. 2 and 6.
Thailand fielded a weakened side but still took the lead 12 minutes into the game against the four-times winners when Irfan Fandi put the ball in his own net.
The back-to-back defending champions added a second 11 minutes later when Supachai Jaided beat Singapore goalkeeper Hassan Sunny low at his near post before Adisak Kraisorn claimed his side's third and his eighth goal so far in this year's competition with a minute remaining.
The win was Thailand's third in four games in the 2018 edition and means they top the group with 10 points, two ahead of the Philippines with Singapore finishing on six points to miss out on the last four.
Former England manager Eriksson's team had the better of the chances in their clash with already-eliminated Indonesia, with Stefan Schrock and Manny Ott spurning opportunities to give the Azkals the lead.
In the end, however, the point was enough to take the Philippines into the semifinals for the fourth time in five tournaments as the Azkals seek to progress to the final of the biennial competition for the first time in their history.

Instead of the regular story hours for preschoolers Friday, the Elkin Public Library celebrated librarian of 14 years, Wendy Giudici.
“She was the first person I hired when I got into this position,” said Branch Librarian Martha Smith. “It was her idea to do Book Babies.”
In 2005, Giudici and Smith researched library programs for young children leading them to the Forsyth Public Library where the librarian there helped Giudici with songs and planning a program in Elkin.
Tracy Calloway appreciated the children’s program the library has. “She really enjoyed it,” claimed Calloway of daughter Dalayla. “I think the singing part was her favorite because that was when she could get up and move around.”
The Dickerson family has been attending the young children’s programs for 11 years. “My mom was babysitting when I was working full time and she started [the family coming to Book Babies and Story Hour],” stated Elisabeth, mother of four.
After sharing stories and songs Friday, the children and their families were invited to join in refreshments during which time those who wished were able to have time to show Giudici their appreciation.
“This is awesome,” declared Giudici. “I’m so happy, but I’m so sad.”
The library will continue to hold regular reading times for young children through the help of community members. Book Babies is Thursdays at 10 a.m., and Fridays at 10 a.m. 2- and 3-years olds and at 11 a.m. 4- and 5-year olds are encouraged to attend Story Hour.

By Phares Gilchrist
A whole lotta preparation has gone on to get us to this point, and I don’t just mean Moses, Joshua and the children of Israel. Our western culture has been grooming us to accept or reject the events to come in the next few chapters of Joshua. We are faced with binary choices that look like this:
Is God just? Am I more just?
Is God loving? Am I more loving?
Is He gracious? Am I more gracious?
We weren’t given many specifics when God eradicated Sodom and Gomorrah. It was His doing. My fellow man was not dashing heads on rocks. We accept this as what God’s judgment looks like when a culture utterly fails in every category of decency.
Now, faced with the choice between successful implantation of Israel, upon whom rests the future redemption of all who will believe, or complete assimilation into a culture who sacrifices children and practices the use of temple prostitution as a form of worship — it was worse than even this, but it would have to be when it practices these rituals — the goal is clear. The culture will not give up its evil practices and threatens to corrupt Israel.
To be sure, Canaan had embraced and cultivated evil. When tempted to think I would handle the situation differently, I need only mull this over — would I march my children into a society that will sodomize and rape them, and sacrifice them to their lust?
The temptation is to say the women and children could have been saved. That is to misunderstand the depth of the depravity. It wasn’t just the men. It was a sociopathy and psychopathy that had corrupted the entire culture.
These harsh truths are at the base of the progressive Christian movement and its desire to delegitimize the authority of these events. Those who struggle with Joshua’s mandate feel like co-conspirators in a cruel war on innocents. They don’t want to be presented to a secular world as condoning these actions.
The real struggle is with the questions above. They have not reconciled who is the most just, loving, and gracious in all matters concerning man. In other words, God’s character is on trial.
Here are some things that might seem counterintuitive:
- Those I love, family and friends and especially children, need to see me struggle with Scripture and come out of the struggle able to articulate why I believe God is just, loving and gracious. No one needs us to go around making declarative statements that don’t show our work. If I tell my math teacher a + b = c without showing him, I get no credit. They need to see our thinking processes and how we come to our conclusion. Otherwise, we are setting them up for possible failure when they have to “give an answer for the hope that is within them.” That failure, discouraging and sometimes humiliating, opens them up to what non-believers believe.
- I also need to recognize that pride and arrogance are at work on both sides of any issue. I need to check mine, and I need to name it in others. Those who reject Scripture as literal or inerrant have just placed themselves in the position as ones who consider themselves as not only more just, loving and gracious, but more wise.
When I look at the players in the progressive movement, so many got on the Christian bandwagon as young believers, gained leadership and followings very young, and had to process at a rate that was unsustainable. They eventually found themselves committed to a system rather than a person. Their spiritual resources dried up, and they were empty. Without a personal connection to God through a growing intimacy with Christ, challenges from without concerning God’s love and justice were met with a powerless response and an inevitable acceptance of a low view of Scripture. Some of them do hold to a form of belief. But not one that recognizes the authority of the Old Testament.
Paul said this best when talking to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:20-21 — a really precious chapter where Paul so personally teaches his pupil:
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
I really don’t have the luxury of arguing with God about His decisions to wipe out whole cultures. He did it differently at different times, including with plagues and fire and now with hand-to-hand combat. That evil exists is abundantly clear. That God has a plan in dealing with it is also clear. I’m just thankful there is a plan, that God is good and just, and I can trust Him to deal rightly and justly with things I cannot cope with or even understand. My paltry understanding of grace and justice do not match His infinite knowledge of both.
At its root is the belief that death must have a happy ending, always. When Paul says, “O death, where is your victory, where is your sting?” he is acknowledging the ugliness that comes with death. He knows his abjectly evil heart that delivered Christians up for death has been spared the natural consequences because of God’s grace. His evil heart was redeemed, but make no mistake, it was evil.
Joshua forces us to face evil squarely, name it, recognize its capacity for pain resides in us, and agree with God that He alone is just and merciful. To the degree I wrestle with this truth, and place my trust firmly in Him, I will know abiding peace and joy.
I have work to do.

Authors often use cruel and inhumane acts to develop a theme as well as to appeal to the readers emotions. Elie Wiesel uses cruelty in his memoir Night to emphasize the barbaric treatment towards the victims of the holocaust; in addition to, how cruelty develops his character throughout the story. For one thing at the beginning of the novel Elie is extremely religious, but after he arrives in the concentration camp he starts losing his faith. For example, “For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name?
Introduction If this is a man, written by Primo Levi was first published in 1958. The novel documents Levi’s experience in Auschwitz in the year he spent. If this is a man was written for a cathartic purpose. Levi chose to write the novel “in order of urgency” Some events in the story are recounted in chronological order, but most of his story is told in an order in relation to its relevance to the tale.
One instance of this is a Jewish survivor known as Elie Wiesel. His first person narrative Nigh publishes his horrific experiences during the Holocaust. The memoir discusses the impressions the event had on him. Upon analyzing Night for the personal or cultural principles that were prioritized during the Holocaust, Wiesel utilizes literary devices to reveal that humans begin to lose faith, hope, and morality when subjected to circumstances of injustice. Wiesel conveys the loss of faith in individuals when they experience unbearable situations through the application of irony.
It’s difficult to imagine the way humans brutally humiliate other humans based on their faith, looks, or mentality but somehow it happens. On the novel “Night” by Elie Wiesel, he gives the reader a tour of World War Two through his own eyes , from the start of the ghettos all the way through the liberation of the prisoners of the concentration camps. This book has several themes that develop throughout its pages. There are three themes that outstand from all the rest, these themes are brutality, humiliation, and faith. They’re the three that give sense to the reading.
Maus and Fun Home both use the medium of comics to tell very personal and delicate stories. Art Spiegelman uses Maus to tell the moving and emotional story of his father’s survival of the Holocaust; Alison Bechdel uses Fun Home to tell the story of her father’s death and the exploration of her identity. Although both texts are different in many ways, the both use the comic medium to portray an outsider experience. While Spiegelman uses the medium to construct an animal hierarchy and Bechdel uses the medium to combine multiple moments in her life into one story, both authors use pictorial detail to shed light on the outsider experience they are each trying to portray.
In the book “The Sunflower”, Simon Wiesenthal, who was the author, was one of the victims of the Holocaust. Within this book, Wiesenthal presents his readers with his problem of whether or not to forgive the disgraceful delinquencies of one of the dying Nazi soldiers. Wiesenthal asks, “Was my silence at the bedside of the dying Nazi right or wrong? This is a profound moral question that challenges the conscience of the reader of this episode, just as much as it once challenged my heart and mind” (Wiesenthal, 97-98).
Elie Wiesel, in his novel, Night writes about how during the Holocaust, Jews faced brutalizing and had to overcome tremendous difficulties. He adopts a mournful tone in order to explore the idea that the Nazi persecution was atrocious with struggles in humanity. Through personification. Wiesel implies, trying to find strength from within can lead to isolation of the soul. Wiesel uses personification to demonstrate loneliness: “I shall never forget Juliek...
Art Spiegelman 's MAUS, remains a work credited much for its being a new kind of literary oeuvre paying attention to the Holocaust. As narrated by a second generation Holocaust survivor, the work brings together occurrences through the dreadful historical event narrating the struggles of a Jewish American working to fortify his individual comprehension of the brutal execution of his people by the Nazi rule in the lead up to the Second World War (Doherty, 1996). Having not been born at the time of the holocaust, the author needed to find the best way of expressing some of the aspects of this unspeakable, unexplainable and above all, unforgettable event. Graphic novel provides the author and ample opening to paint the narrations here especially
A relationship between a father and a son is a sacred bond, one created at birth and strengthened over time. This paternal relationship is core to the value of family, a likewise bond of faith and trust. Such bonds are tested during times of hardship and pain, seen most clearly during times of war. During the events of World War II, and the gruesome events of the Holocaust, this truth was never more true. Through works such as the memoir Night, by survivor Elie Wiesel, and the artistry of the 1997 film Life is Beautiful, directed by Roberto Benigni, these times of hardships are kept alive in common memory.
In fact, during the rudimentary monologues of characters like Colonel Cathcart, Captain Black and Major Major that make the novel a swashbuckler, it all involves them questioning the almost dreamlike existence of man with a name like that. Yossarian: a character that the author did tribute to by writing Closing time, his 1992 reprisal to Catch-22, and did not fail to add in the latter book’s paperback introduction that his major creation will never die in his own hands but in another’s. So much for James Heller. So much for us the readers who have to keep our ribs on hold tickled by many trials within the book, poignantly metaphysical, where a character asks ‘who is’ that stepping on his feet while a court martial is going on. That alone, if it does not give a hint of how boring, pettish and deviating
I visited the Breman on November 6th from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. My first impression when I walked into the exhibit was powerful. As a walked in and saw those first few pictures of anti-Semitism, I was powerfully moved in seeing the plight that the Jews had to face. My emotions were solemn and contained. I wanted to be respectful for those who had been murdered.
The Holocaust was a devastating event that had outreaching effects on many groups of people and many countries. Although most of this devastation happened to the Jewish Race. There are many books, movies, memoirs, and academic journals regarding the Holocaust, portraying how it affected different people and their stories. One memoir that will be discussed is Night written by Elie Wiesel about his life during the Holocaust. Also a movie by the name of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas will be discussed.
In the scene 'Time Flies', Art Spiegelman uses multiple literary devices to convey both the story and it's important themes. In this scene there is a large focus on Siegelman's emotions. During the making of this scene, Spiegelman was suffering from depression; He attempts to portray exactly how he is feeling through his imagery and use of literary devices. One literary device used throughout the scene is the image selection. At the beginning of the scene we see Spiegelman sitting at a writers desk positioned on top of a pile of the decaying bodies of Jewish people.

The other stars will reportedly take a $100,000 pay cut per episode. Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Johnny Galecki, and Kunal Nayyar will each make $900,000 an episode. That’s 43 million and 200,000 dollars total for each star. Coming to a whopping total of nearly 306 million dollars total being paid out to actors for The Big Bang Theory Seasons 11 and 12.
Apparently, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch had been seeking a salary that would match their costars. However, they realized that it would never happen, and decided to settle for nearly half of what Kaley Cuoco has been making the past three years.

The only other show to negotiate such high salaries was Friends. The core six actors of the Friends ensemble famously negotiated together in 2002 to get a whopping 1 million dollars each per episode. However, TBBT is now surpassing Friends in the number of seasons, so their total salary amounts overall will definitely surpass their famous rivals.
Will you be watching Big Bang Theory seasons 11 and 12?

Borrowers’ private information could get sold over repeatedly, and they may face illegal threats of arrest if they fall behind on payments.

After spending 400 days at a Kanas shelter and having a man move into her kennel, a dog finally gets adopted.
Named Queen, the 3-year-old terrier mix had been overlooked for more than a year at the Great Plains SPCA in Merriam. On Sept. 17 Scott Poore decided to do something about it. The animal advocate and founder of Mission Driven, a clothing line to fund his rescue efforts, announced on social media he was moving in with Queen. Yes, he was going to be her “roommate” in her 10-by-7-foot kennel.
“I tend to work exclusively with the shelter pets that have lived in the buildings the longest, literally the ones that are becoming forgotten, those are the ones that I really want to help the most,” he told Kansas City KSHB.
Well, he wasn’t with her too long. A week later, Poore walked Queen out of the shelter on Tuesday, after she was adopted out by Tony Puluso
“Queen has left the building, thanks to an amazing man who fell in love with her story,” Poore posted on Facebook. “This week has been exhausting and an emotional roller coaster, but this video makes it all worth it.”
Interesting, Pulso told local news station KMBC that he had not heard of Queen’s plight.
“I could not believe that she had been here as long as she had,” Puluso he said. “She is a perfectly sweet dog and she just reminds me of a little stuffed animal. And I just immediately fell in love with her.”

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday confirmed she is to visit four Asian countries this week, but made no mention of a possible stop in Taiwan that has fueled tension with Beijing.
“The trip will focus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region,” Pelosi’s office said in a statement.
The all-Democrat delegation includes US House Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman Gregory Meeks, and members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Committee on Armed Services.
“Our delegation will hold high-level meetings to discuss how we can further advance our shared interests and values, including peace and security, economic growth and trade, the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, human rights and democratic governance,” Pelosi said in the statement.
The Singaporean Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Pelosi’s delegation would visit today and tomorrow, with meetings scheduled with Singaporean President Halimah Yacob and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (李顯龍).
Pelosi has yet to confirm news reports that she might visit Taiwan.
The US President Joe Biden’s administration did not explicitly urge Pelosi to avoid Taiwan, but tried to assure Beijing there was no reason to “come to blows” and that if such a visit occurred, it would signal no change in US policy.
US lawmakers publicly backed Pelosi’s interest in visiting Taiwan despite Chinese opposition. They want to avoid being seen as yielding to Beijing.
Beijing has given no details of how it might react if Pelosi goes to Taiwan, but the Chinese Ministry of National Defense last week warned that the military would take “strong measures to thwart any external interference,” while the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that “those who play with fire will perish by it.”
The Japanese daily Ryukyu Shimpo yesterday reported that nine US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft, two C-2 transport planes and one MH-60R Seahawk helicopter on Saturday arrived at the US Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa.
Their arrival might be related with Pelosi’s rumored visit to Taiwan, the report said.
A visit to Taiwan would be a career capstone for Pelosi, who has long challenged China on human rights and wanted to visit Taiwan earlier this year.
In 1991, Pelosi irked Chinese authorities by unfurling a banner at Tiananmen Square in central Beijing commemorating those killed when the Chinese Communist Party crushed pro-democracy protests two years earlier.
“It’s important for us to show support for Taiwan,” Pelosi, a Democrat from California, told reporters this month.
She made clear that she was not advocating US policy changes.
“None of us has ever said we’re for independence, when it comes to Taiwan,” she said. “That’s up to Taiwan to decide.”
Additional reporting by staff writer
As China waged extensive military exercises off Taiwan, a group of US defense experts in Washington was focused on their own simulation of an eventual — but for now entirely hypothetical — US-China war over the nation. The unofficial what-if game is being conducted on the fifth floor of an office building not far from the White House, and it posits a US military response to a Chinese invasion in 2026. Even though the participants bring a US perspective, they are finding that a US-Taiwan victory, if there is one, could come at a huge cost. “The results are showing that under
WRONG TIMING: The delegation’s trip has not only disappointed Taiwanese, but could send a wrong message to the global community, Tsai Ing-wen said Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Vice Chairman Andrew Hsia (夏立言) yesterday left with a delegation for a trip to China, drawing fire for visiting at a time when Beijing has been conducting intensive military drills to pressure Taiwan. Before boarding, he told reporters that the delegation would be visiting Taiwanese communities and students in China, and possibly meet with Chinese officials. The Mainland Affairs Council on Tuesday night said that it was not the right time for political party members to visit China, as Beijing has been conducting military exercises since Thursday last week. President Tsai Ing- wen (蔡英文), chairperson of the Democratic
‘HONORED’: The DPP’s Lin Fei-fan said friends working in the foreign media, the diplomatic corps and at think tanks congratulated him for making the sanctions list The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) yesterday slammed China for sanctioning Representative to the US Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) and six other Taiwanese officials for being “diehard separatists,” saying its attempt to intimidate Taiwanese would backfire. China has no authority to dictate the actions of Taiwanese, because Taiwan is a democratic nation that upholds the rule of law, and would never yield to intimidation and threats from an authoritarian regime, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) told a news conference in Taipei. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency earlier yesterday reported that the Taiwan Work Office of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee has imposed
ORDNANCE: Under a five-year plan, the Chungshan Institute would make about 200 Hsiung Feng II and III/IIIE, and Hsiung Sheng missiles, an official said The Ministry of National Defense plans to counter the Chinese navy by producing more than 1,000 anti-ship missiles over the next five years, a defense official familiar with the matter said yesterday. The comments came after China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy began a series of military drills in a simulated naval blockade of Taiwan proper following a visit to Taipei by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Although China has in the past few years rapidly produced many warships and added them to its navy, these large vessels are more suited for warfare on the open sea than in the narrow

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of ETEC and NTEC Escherichia coli from Cattle Farm With Reference to Virulence Marker Gene
Shubhangi Warke Sumedha Bobade Vijay Ingle
Vol 7(10), 1-7
E.coli represents a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. This study was carried out to investigate distribution of virulence genes and pathotypes of E.coli isolated from farm environment, diarrhoea and healthy cattle. The recovered isolates were studied for hemolysis, biofilm production and presence of virulence marker genes viz., ST, cnf-2 by polymerase chain reaction .Out of 188 samples, 112 (59.57%) bacterial isolates were biochemically identified as E. coli which comprises of soil (11), feed and fodder (12), water sample (15 from drinking and 1 from tap water), 11 from diarrhoeic cases and 36 from healthy cattle, drainage (16), silage (1), manure (9). Out of 112 isolates 74(66.07%) were found to cause lysis on sheep erythrocytes, whereas 87(77.67%) were found to be biofilm producer on congo red. Singleplex PCR revealed the presence of ST gene in 60 (53.57%) and cnf -2 in 48(42.85%) isolates. Eleven strains (9.82 %) possessed both genes.

It is believed that a worker at Auckland Airport, New Zealand that tested positive for COVID-19 contracted the virus from an international passenger.
As ABC report, results from genome sequencing linked the strain of coronavirus to an infectious passenger that arrived in Auckland from a “red zone” country on April 10th. The country and variant of the virus have not been made public.
Officials have maintained that the fully vaccinated worker did not have face-to-face contact with passengers and likely contracted the virus from cleaning planes. The case came the day after the quarantine-free trans-Tasman bubble opened between New Zealand and Australia.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has emphasised that New Zealand will contain the new COVID-19 case, after being briefed by Australian health officials. “They’re watching New Zealand, but they have high confidence that New Zealand has this in train,” he said on Tuesday.
“And, of course, given that the worker has been vaccinated, that will play into how they assess the case and the transmission capability.”
Mr. Hunt explained that both countries had highly developed containment systems in place.
“The New Zealand system has picked up a case, and we know that we have a highly infectious disease, but highly developed containment systems are in both New Zealand and Australia,” he said. “They’re on to this. We have full confidence in New Zealand’s system.”

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern acknowledged that health ministers and officials from New Zealand and Australia are “directly communicating” about the new case and that New Zealand anticipated new COVID-19 cases on both sides.
“When we opened, on both sides, we of course knew that we would continue to have cases connected to our border,” she said. “In fact, when we announced the date for opening the trans-Tasman bubble, Queensland was dealing with cases.
Prime Minister Ardern continued, “We accept that it’s going to be part of our journey together. I think Australia accepts that and, for both sides, we’re always looking for clear connection to the border. In this case there is.”
1800 Australian citizens travelled to NZ the first day it was open.

Till this day, I remain amazed by those three years of my life. What on earth was a young, single Asian gentleman doing teaching in a convent? The reason given was fantastic, fantastical, almost (but not quite) beyond belief. And yes, that interview in August 1994 produced a mission statement. I'm not sure if it really is all my mission, but it does cover some of it at least. I have tried to live as if it were true.
We all have a mission in life.
Mine is to find Reason
and bring it where it is needed;
It is to give Reason a voice,
even when it is troublesome to do so.
It is to use Reason in the service of God,
and not for mere advantage of myself or for others.
How can I do this?
I must do this with a sense of duty,
to seek the greatest good for others.
It must be done with patience and care;
with love, justice and compassion.
I will be a good friend to those who have shared friendship with me;
I will be rational with those who do not seek my good.
I will try to bring out the best in others,
but I will not presume on their limitations
or impose any discipline on them
which I have not imposed on myself.
And I will always make time
for things of eternal value and of lasting worth,
at the expense of lesser things.

We had a great weekend with the Nat Greene Fly Fishers over in Greensboro, NC and want to thank everyone who came. It was a great success and we apparently set an attendance record for a seminar. Fortunately the weather held out for us to do our casting workshops and everyone had a great time and came away with some sharper casting skills.
The weather here took an ugly turn with heavy rain Saturday night and snow in the Smokies on Sunday. It wasn’t a huge event with only a few inches in the higher elevations, but enough for us to get another look at what winter looks like.
Dawn breaks over the snowy Smokies this morning
Streams are on the high side, but continue to fall
Stream levels were very high yesterday, but have come down quite a bit but it will probably be tomorrow (Tuesday) before water levels get somewhere near the fishable level. It looks like we have another system arriving on Wednesday with some more rain and cooler weather, but things are looking good for the weekend. We’ll keep you posted.

The Hawaiian Electric Cos. have more than 77,000 installed solar photovoltaic systems on their grids across the state, which represents 17 percent of all of its customers, an executive from the Honolulu-based company said Thursday at an industry event.
The HECO Cos. also have 26,000 more PV systems that were installed or approved in 2015 alone, the most ever in one year trumping the previous high of 18,000 PV systems.
Jim Alberts, senior vice president of customer service for Hawaiian Electric Co., the parent of Maui Electric Co. and Hawaii Electric Light Co., who was a speaker at the Electric Utility Consultants Inc. Fifth Annual Hawaii Power Summit in Honolulu, said that 32 percent of the single-family homes on Oahu have PV installed on their rooftops.
“The future of solar is bright, [and] it plays a big role in our energy future,” Alberts said. “We really want to make sure it’s a coordinated solution for the benefit of our community. At the end of the day, if this all plays out that customers bills are still high or higher, this won’t work. We really have to work together to lower costs to consumers.”
Hawaiian Electric unveiled a new rooftop solar plan last year, which credits customers at a rate that better reflects the cost of the electricity produced by their rooftop solar systems, which is consistent with how Kauai Island Utility Cooperative compensates its solar customers. Its rooftop solar plan was eventually approved by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission.
Net energy metering or NEM, allows rooftop solar customers to shift the burden of operating the grid to full-service customers, while still benefiting from access to the grid’s physical infrastructure for import and export of power, according to HECO.
But the groups opposing the change in the program are saying that, “the utility will save money by using the customer’s exported power to serve the neighbors because the utility will avoid the costs of power that it would otherwise have had to generate at a more distant power plant and deliver to that local area over its transmission and distribution system.”


Meteorology is the discipline that studies the principal physical phenomena responsible of the atmospheric weather. The measurement and forecast of precipitations, temperature, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, etc. is the starting point of every mathematical model for forecast of the hydro-meteorological events.
The experience in the development and application of environmental numerical models has allowed PROGEA to develop tools and competences on acquisition, processing and organization of hydro-meteorological data coming from different sources such as ground-based gauge networks, meteorological RADAR, numerical weather forecasting models, satellite images, and more.
PROGEA's services are addressed to governmental agencies and private company that have the necessity to process and store environmental data and to deal with different data sources and file formats. Our services include:
Recently the use of the meteorological RADAR has strengthened scientists' ability of describing storms and precipitation fields. However, the use of RADAR precipitation estimates for hydrological applications is still matter of scientific research and the use of RADAR data for real-time flood forecasting is still a challenge.
In collaboration with University of Bologna, PROGEA has developed a software called RAINMUSIC, that opens new opportunity to the use of RADAR rainfall data in operative forecasting context. RAINMUSIC combines data provided by rain-gauge networks, ground-based weather RADAR and satellite estimates to produces precipitation maps that integrate both RADAR and gauges qualities. Maps can be produced in real-time and used as input to hydrological models.
