Fifth Estate's Hell to Pay, the February 12, 2003 show about Martensville might more properly have been called Limbo to Endure. Former Justice Minister Bob Mitchell's apology was disingenuous. Mitchell certainly knew enough about Martensville to say T.S's name on a North Battleford radio show, go through a mock resignation for having broken the law by revealing the name of a young offender, and take his portfolio back after an appropriate absence which was supposed to show respect for the Justice system. Mitchell knew all about Martensville.
And he knew about the Foster Parent case, too. Anyone with two clues to rub together who could read the paper or watch TV knew about both these cases. And Bob Mitchell is no clueless idiot. He is a brazen liar.
Mitchell quit when the quitting was good and resumed his legal practice. Chris Axworthy took the portfolio of Justice Minister after he resigned from Parliament to be groomed as the next Premier as Romanow was also planning to quit while the quitting was good. Romanow went on to become an elder statesman and Commissioner of a health commission, which has received general praise from many quarters. Axworthy's plans to become Premier were thwarted by another Fifth Estate documentary, The Scandal of the Century. The original program which aired in November, 2000 won the triple crown of broadcasting awards: the Gemini, the Justicia and a share in the Michener.
It exposed a crooked cop, Brian Dueck, and showed Axworthy trying to duck the cameras as he insisted he could not discuss a case which was "before the courts". In the two and a half years since making that statement, government lawyers have done everything they can to make sure the ten million dollar lawsuit remains before the courts or gets thrown out. Lorne Calvert, who became NDP leader (and later Premier) a few days after the Fifth Estate update has done nothing to steer his Justice Minister to a better course. Now that Axworthy has quit politics (to go and teach law students, no less) Eric Cline will be left with the file.
They should all have figured out by now that these cases are simply not going to go away.
After the John Popowich settlement in June, 2002, Axworthy is quoted as saying, "crown prosecutors would not let this happen now - after what they've learned in the past decade". In fact they have learned very little about proper prosecutorial conduct, especially disclosure. The Fifth Estate website has provided some documents from this case which should be of interest to anyone studying false abuse cases. There would seem to be discovery documents among these. The Saskatchewan Crown's sudden deference to John Popowich is sharply contrasted by its treatment of the Klassen/Kvellos and inJusticebusters regarding the publication of documents. Richard Klassen was fined in January, 2001 based on Dueck's lawyer (Barry Rossman at that time) placing on the table a pile of raggedy pages printed from the Internet allegedly proving we had published banned material. It was simply not true but because Klassen was at that time represented by counsel, he did not get an opportunity to answer to it.
They have used, as the saying goes, "Every trick in the book." I am not going to discuss those tricks at this point because, to reprise Axworthy, "the case is before the court". I will say this much: One of the dirty tricks was to try and have Richard Klassen, the launcher and champion of the $10M+ civil claim, thrown out of his own lawsuit because of his association with this website. Government lawyers representing Matthew Miazga, Sonja Hansen, Richard Quinney, Brian Dueck and Carol Bunko Ruys are still being instructed to fight this case to the bitter end. As a Fifth Estate update of Scandal of the Century a year ago plainly showed, they would not disclose material important to the case. Richard Klassen had to take them in front of a judge several times to get the disclosure he needed to conduct his examinations for discovery.
I don't believe I would be in violation of any court order to report that Don McKillop (counsel for all except Dueck) and David Gerrand have been childish and petulant. The StarPhoenix report from June, 2002 clearly shows this. They have also encouraged their clients to fritter away important discovery time with frivolous comments, possibly in an effort to make the examinations more expensive in an effort to starve the plaintiffs.
I was told that Fifth Estate did not want Hell to Pay to be a "son of Scandal of the Century". If it is not a legitimate "son of Scandal" Martensville was most certainly its bastard child. The Klassen/Kvello charges had not yet been stayed when charges were laid in Martensville. The hysteria which had been started with the initial news reports on Dueck's arrests had not subsided when the Martensville arrests were made.
Many people still confuse the two cases, perhaps because that while the cast of characters differed, it all happened under the umbrella of our justice system filtered through media which applied the same sensational flourishes. Groups claiming "children never lie" received publicity during the years that followed. They had the ear of the police. University chaplain Colin Clay continued to promote the notion that Satanic cults were thriving in our land. The Globe and Mail covered the Foster Parent case while Saturday Night magazine headlined Martensville. There would seem to be a proprietary behavior among journalists which sometimes blinds them to obvious connections.
In our poverty stricken province, the lingering thrill that there is still a large, well organized Satanic cult out there still comes up from time to time on coffee row. This was a strong feature in both cases. In Martensville, according to The Fifth Estate, some people still believe their children were abused. I don't know what journalistic purpose it serves to give them a platform; anonymous, damaged, in the shadows. They are like members of the Flat Earth Society who, I think, should be educated into reality and failing that, ignored.
The Saskatchewan government still faces its reckoning. Whether there will really be hell to pay or if the falsely charged people are consigned to limbo remains to be seen. Popowich stated that a public inquiry was not necessary; I disagree. An inquiry into all the cases involving wrongful prosecution is necessary. Perhaps these cases could be included in the long-overdue inquiry into the David Milgaard fiasco, if and when that happens. It has been promised.
It is possible that Mitchell and Romanow believed the rumours. After all, respectable citizens including the head of the Saskatchewan Action Committee on the Status of women and many neo-feminists who took classes at the University of Saskatchewan completely bought into it. I was skeptical but curious, and perhaps a little concerned. But as soon as I started checking the rumours against the facts it became clear that this was a witch hunt. I then set about to try to counter it and was charged (I actually spent 30 hours in jail over this) with criminal defamation, ordered to stand trial and finally had the charges quashed on a writ. Nonetheless I was under a severe gag order for over a year. Four other people received similar treatment. Two went to jail for shockingly long sentences.
I have written so many letters my fingers have become raw. The replies, if there are any, are patronizing. Certainly no one has said he or she is sorry.
It is very clear to anyone who has followed these cases that Superintendent Brian Dueck and some people in the Office of Public Prosecutions were aware that innocent persons were being prosecuted. Under colour of law -- and the belief they could hide their tracks in a cloak of secrecy, they continued to pursue their course. Their careers advanced. They continued to advance the lie that the falsely accused were guilty.
Damages mount daily.
We hope to soon see a comprehensive Fifth Estate treatment of both these cases. Fifth has a lot of clout and we would be badly off without it. For now, justice in Saskatchewan is not doing well.
-- Sheila Steele, Feb. 16, 2003 (updated Feb. 19)
John Popowich settles out: Whether it really is to "clear his name" as he says, or to create a new persona as "good cop hard done by", it really doesn't matter. In the final days before the settlement was made public his lawyer Geoff Dufour was playing dirty tricks (as in Watergate-type deceptions) on Richard Klassen. The lawyers on file for the Klassen civil case, Ed Holgate and Robert Borden colluded to keep from Klassen, who was representing himself, information that the government lawyers were about to present a motion (backed by more dirty tricks including a spliced surveillance videotape) to have him expelled from his civil claim.
It didn't work. Queen's bench judge Mona Duvall did not turf Klassen from the lawsuit which went to trial September 8, 2003. The full judgment is here: Judge Baynton is overly modest about its readability, saying that only the most committed will bother to read it. I disagree. The decision is a riveting read for anyone even tangentially interested in justice. | media coverage (most recent)

speed cobra and bass drum setup, adjustement for best results?
Here is the deal...I know everybody like different feel and different settings... I bought my first drum set and pedal maybe a month ago and I'm not very happy with the feel and response I'm getting. My pedal and bass drum are in a corner and hard to access so I'll continue doing some tests and tweaks but I'd like to know what work for you guys. I'm looking for a setup that would be optimal for death metal songs with lots of long double bass periods.
Tama silverstar 20 x 18 bass drum with original heads, batter side is rather loose and resonant side is a bit looser
On the speed cobra:
Spring tension is pretty hight
Cobra coil is about in the middle position
my beaters about at 2 o'clock and I have about 1 cm space between the end of the beater and the pedal (with a small bass drum should i leave more to hit more the middle of the drum...)
My seat, I'm a relativelly high with an angle for my that more than 90 degree. I tend to play heel up and have my ankles and toes do the job. My toes touches ruffly the middle of the board.
...Again, I'll keep toying with everything but any pointers or were to start will help. I haven't found anything super efficient / confortable yet :/

`Hindutva behind subsidy to visit Hindu temples`
Bhopal: Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Ajay Singh here Friday said that it appears that there is an "Hindutva agenda" behind the decision of the BJP government to give subsidy to people in the state to visit certain religious places in foreign countries.
"It appears that there must be an Hindutva agenda behind giving subsidy to people visiting some religious places belonging to a particular community," Ajay said.
"If at all the state government wanted to subsidise such religious visits then it should do it for all the communities of the society," he said.
He also said that it would have been better if instead of giving subsidy for such visits, the government could have spent the money on the renovation of dilapidated temples and
other religious places of the state.
The state government has yesterday expanded the subsidy scheme for pilgrimage to places of religious importance situated in Sri Lanka (Sita Mata Temple and Cambodia (Angkor
Wat Temple), official sources said.
Such provisions are already in place for pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar (China-Tibet), Hinglaj Mata Mandir and Nankana Saheb (both in Pakistan).
The State Government will now provide 50 per cent subsidy on expenses (maximum Rs 30,000) to the state`s citizens for the journey to pilgrim centres in Sri Lanka and Cambodia.

His diagnosis was confirmed in a message from his Palace on Wednesday.
The statement read: “The Prince’s Palace announces that H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco has tested positive for COVID-19.”
There was no update on the rest of his family, including his seven-year-old twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques.
It is understood that the 64-year-old prince is asymptomatic and there is no concern for his health.
Prince Albert was one of the first royals to contract the virus in early 2020, with Prince Charles also testing positive again earlier this year.
Princess Charlene recently returned to Monaco after spending four months at a health clinic in Switzerland.
She returned to the Prince’s Palace in March to continue her “convalescence in the Principality with her husband and her children by her side”.
The Princess spent six months in South Africa last year, with Albert saying his wife was suffering from “exhaustion, both emotional and physical”, reported People magazine.
She has not attended a royal event since January 2021 and has not been spotted in public since her return to Monaco.
It is unknown when Her Serene Highness will be well enough to carry on with her royal duties.
Prince Albert visited the UK last month to attend the memorial service for the Duke of Edinburgh at Westminster Abbey, alongside royals from the Netherlands and Spain.
He is expected to continue with desk duties in Monte Carlo until he recovers.

Our 2017 Economic Outlook: A Paradigm Shift in the Making
By Scott S. Eggen
Executive Vice President – Director of Capital Markets
PrimeLending, a PlainsCapital Company
We are more than halfway through the first quarter of 2017, and we are still holding our breath to see how President Trump’s proposed policies will impact the U.S. economy. There is much to feel optimistic about, especially a renewed commitment to stimulate the economy through tax reform, infrastructure investment and regulatory relief. But these policies will take some time to enact and show results. In the meantime, it’s smart to stay alert and vigilant – much about 2017 feels like uncharted waters.
Here are some of the key indicators and trends we at PrimeLending are monitoring closely:
· Experts predict GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will continue a modest increase in 2017. Strengthening consumer spending, spurred by steady wage and employment gains and a rallying stock market, is driving the economy so far this year. Retail Sales for January rose .4% on stronger sales at gas stations, restaurants, electronic stores and appliance dealers. Most experts expect U.S. growth to hover around the 2% range for the year.
· The U.S. Employment Report is the most important piece of economic data investors, traders, and the Federal Reserve watch on a monthly basis. January results were solid, with 227,000 added jobs and a 2.5% wage increase over 2016. For the year, experts predict the unemployment rate will remain at or near historic lows – settling in around 4.5% (still far below 5.8% historic average).
· Despite the potential for volatility, the consensus is that a bullish market will continue with an average 2017 S&P 500 forecast of 2,356, representing a modest 4% rise from 2016. Though how effectively the administration can deliver on pro-growth pledges of lower corporate taxes and relaxed regulations will have a major impact on what the market will actually do.
· Short-term rates are on the rise and likely to continue curving up, based on the Federal Reserve’s December rate hike and the potential for 2-3 more hikes in 2017.
· Mortgage rates historically follow the movement trend of the bond market’s 10-year Treasury note. We anticipate the yield on the 10-year note to land above the current 2.5% by year’s end, somewhere closer to 2.67%. Despite so many economic variables hanging in limbo in the new year, we see an overall upward trend in these rates for the near term.
So what do these forecasted indicators mean for the housing market?
· We expect some 2016 trends to continue. Low existing home turnover, modest new home construction and tight inventories will continue to drive up home prices – but at a slower rate. In particular, entry-level buyers will struggle to find affordable homes. But there are indications that housing supply, especially new home starts, will begin to improve with an estimated increase as high as 6%.
· Millennials will begin to have a greater impact on the market as they make up a growing proportion of homebuyers. At the same time, the repeal of financial regulations may lead to more flexible credit availability, giving a wider-range of potential borrowers the opportunity to buy a home.
· Mortgage interest rates have crept-up and are expected to stay within the 4.25-4.75% range for a thirty-year fixed-rate. While this is an increase from 2016, these rates are still considered low by historic standards.
· There are an increasing number of loan programs available for borrowers with low-to-moderate income or FICO scores below 700. FHA, VA and USDA programs in particular offer a path to homeownership to help turn renters into purchasers.
· As rates tick upward, there will be fewer refinance opportunities to realize a shorter term or lower payments. However, cash-out refinancing remains an attractive opportunity for many borrowers looking to convert equity into cash and turn debt into a deduction.
The bottom line, we are cautiously optimistic about the housing market for the year ahead and have forecasted for a slight increase in home purchases for 2017. But the market is lively, and subject to volatile changes. We work closely with our loan experts in the field to keep them informed of current conditions, and even ahead of the curve when we can.
If you are contemplating buying or refinancing a home in 2017, a PrimeLending loan officer can help you stay up-to-date on the latest economic trends and understand how they may impact interest rates and the housing market in your area.

ESEE 6 VS BK7 - full comparison of Bk7 Vs ESEE 6
If you’re looking for some hard fixed blades for your camping, outdoor, or even survival adventures, I’m sure someone did recommend you the ESEE 6 or the BK7, they’re known for their great performance in the woods, and they’re genuinely always recommended, but the question would be, in a battle of ESEE 6 VS BK7, which one is the best and which one should you pick.
Well, I tried to answer this question, by reviewing both knives and listing down their similarities and differences, so if you’re still interested to know more, you’re in the right place, let us dive in.
ESEE 6 VS BK7 – A Head-to-Head Comparison
KA-BAR BK7 Becker Campanion Review
“I already Used this Review in my other BK 7 reviews if you already did read it you can skip this part”
The BK7 becker knife is one of the greatest combat tactical knives, it offers a 7” Clip point 1095 Cro van Steel Blade, the offers great edge retention, great toughness, and great wear resistance, it comes with a Grivory handle that offers toughness and a non-slippery grip, it has bottomed and top guards handle, it comes with a black nylon Kydex sheath.
This knife is the best pick if you’re looking for a “not too big” knife for your outdoor adventure, but let me remind you it has low corrosion resistance.
Now let’s speak about the knife, the good the bad and the ugly, the knife is just great for the tough tasks, the ergonomics are great, it feels light in the hand even tho being a 12.75” knife its easy to handle, the steel is hard and offers great edge retention but it comes with low corrosion resistance.
ESEE 6 KNIFE Review
The ESEE 6 has been a longtime favorite for those who want a nonsense fixed blade that can take a ton of abuse when you really need it to, it has a 6.5” Drop point blade made from the 1095 Steel, It’s high carbon steel that offers great edge retention, great wear-resistance but comes with lower corrosion resistance, the blade 0.1875” thickness and features a full flat grind which offers a good compromise between strength and slicing efficiency on a knife this size, it also has a powder coating on the blade which going to help it to resist corrosion, moving back to the handles, they are built on style construction and features a red liner with a nice linen Micarta material for the outside, it comes also with a protruding pummel at the end of the handle which makes it a survival knife, and finally it has a nice black plastic sheath.
This knife is surely a heavy-duty knife, but it’s not really a chopper, the great thing about this knife, is how well it balances the large blade and the handle to create something that still pretty agile in the hand, and let’s not forget the choil and thumb spine for better grip.
What are the Similarities ESEE 6 VS BK7?
- Steel: they Both have the 1095 Steel that offers great edge retention, great wear resistance, and toughness, and comes with low corrosion resistance.
- Thickness: BK7 comes with a 0.188” which is very close to the ESEE 6 0.1875” thickness.
ESEE 6 VS BK7– Some Key Differences
- Blade Length: BK7 comes with a 7” blade length, meanwhile the ESEE 6 has a 6.5” blade length (I know it’s not a big difference, and Yes you can classify it as a similarity).
- Sheath: BK7 comes with a Black Nylon with Kydex insert, on the other hand, ESEE 6 comes with a Black Plastic Sheath.
- Handle: This is one of the key differences, the Esee 6 comes with the premium Mircata handle, meanwhile the BK7 has a Grivory plastic handle.
- Design: ESEE 6 offers better ergonomics and comes with finger choil and thumb spine, compared to the BK7.
By now if you didn’t notice the difference between the two knives, I ‘ll help you, the ESEE 6 comes with more premium quality, that you can find in the design and the handle, both knife offers similar performance in terms of steel and cutting, so the main focus here would be on your budget if you can’t afford the ESEE 6 the BK7 is a great choice and you can upgrade it later (bay changing your handle), but if you have enough budget I’ll gladly recommend you to go with the ESEE 6 I find it’s ERGONOMICS much better and the micarta handle is always top-notch in my opinion, in the end, both knives are made from high carbon steel, so be aware that corrosion is your enemy so don’t forget it to dry and clean your knife.


My first guess would be that the transmission is not shifting correctly and is starting out in 2nd gear after a stop. This would also account for the engine having to work harder to accelerate that may attribute to the louder engine noise. A check engine light code might guide us in the right direction.
When I pull my camper it gets to the very high end of the temp. still inside the normal range but almost hot. When I first got my truck it didn’t have that problem, it ran in the middle. It is a 1997 Ford F250 with a 7.5L engine.
I will assume the coolant level is full and the cooling system has no leaks.
A couple of things come to mind on this one. First the clutch fan may be getting weak and in need of replacement. It take about a hour to swap it out. Any obstruction in front of the radiator would also contribute the issue. Lastly I would want to confirm the temperature reading is accurate. It is possible that the coolant temperature sending unit is not functioning correctly.
Clutch Fan Failing
Radiator air flow obstructed
Faulty coolant temperature reading
You can check the engine coolant temperature with an external infra red temperature gun. You can pick one up reasonably cheap at amazon for under $20.
Just aim it at the engine head or upper radiator hose to check the temperature.
Clutch fan can also be picked up pretty reasonable for under $40 and like i mentioned earlier, it takes about an hour to swap it out.
My 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport just started not starting on first try as normal. been about 4 times its been hard to start, turns over much longer before start. sounds normal as it turns over just doesn’t start right away?
This is usually a sign of lack of fuel pressure. A quick test would be to cycle the ignition key several times before trying to start it. This will allow a little bit more time for the fuel pump to build required pressure. Turn the ignition key ON and hold for 3 to 10 seconds, then turn it OFF. Do this several times and then try to start the engine. If the engine fires right up like it normally did then you know the issue is fuel related.
Cranks over longer before starting because of fuel pressure
The number one reason would be fuel pump pressure loss. This can be from a failing fuel pump, failing fuel pressure regulator or clogged fuel filter.
Vacuum leak causing longer than normal crank time
There is a chance that a vacuum leak is causing an issue. Loose connections at or around the Mass Air Flow Sensor will cause a false signal to be sent to the engines computer and may make it difficult to start.
Internal Vacuum leak causing hard starting
There is a chance that the idle air control valve is sticking. When this happens the check engine light does not illuminate. A quick test would be to press down slightly on the accelerator pedal while trying to start the engine. If the engine starts easier then the next step would be to clean or replace the idle air control valve.

Changed rear rotors and brakes and now wheel won’t spin in reverse. Parking brake is engaged in reverse. Replaced all springs/hardware on parking brakes and used PBBlaster to make sure the cable wasn’t getting hung up. Tried to drive the car several times and parking brake is definitely on in reverse. Adjusted the adjustment wheel so that the brakes are compacted as much as can be and the hub spins fine forward but stops immediately when spun in reverse. I even put the old rotors back on thinking that would solve it however still acts the same. In the end, by taking out the adjustment wheel spreader the car works, however I have no parking brake and it will not pass state inspection this month without it. I’m at a loss and feel as if I’ve tried everything.
This may sound odd to you but I have seen this once before. It turned out the brake shoes were install improperly. Let me see if I can describe what was going on. The brake shoe material is a different size for two of them. The actual external shoe (metal part) is the same on all four per say. But there are two that the shoe material is shorter then the other. Looking at just one side with two short shoes or one side with two longer shoes would be hard to notice. And the difference if difficult to notice at all until you set one directly on top of the other for comparison. This would be what I would recommend you check first.
Parking Brake Shoes Replacement
1. Remove rear wheel and tire assembly.
2. Remove mounting bolts, then separate rear disc brake caliper assembly. Use wire or an equivalent tool to keep brake caliper from hanging down by flexible hose.
I’m trying to figure out if I just have a radiator leak, or is it also the head gasket. Engine keeps losing water, visible but sporadic leak in bottom of radiator(I’ve replaced thermostat and water pump), also, there’s oil splashed on engine. Would a blown head gasket cause the radiator to leak as well? No white smoke or white on oil cap, car runs fine otherwise.
Sounds like you just have and external leak in the cooling system.
I like to use a cooling system pressure tester to assist me in locating coolant leaks. You just attach it to the top of the radiator and pump it up and look for the leak.
If you find the radiator is leaking you should replace it and retest. If you find you are loosing coolant and not externally, then you may need to check for a blown head gasket. With no leak internally or externally the pressure tester should hold the same pressure as the radiator cap indicates.
My 1999 Lexus Es300 had 8 codes. 2 old ( both knock sensors, both have been replaced along with the wiring harness). Yesterday car started to smell faintly of gas fumes. Today car was running fine , then at stoplight it started to idle rough and stumble. And 6 new codes along with it. P0120, P0441 (shows this code twice), P0300, P0304 and P0305
The 3 p0300 codes are all misfire codes. P0300 is a multiple misfire code and P0304 is cylinder # 4 and P0305 is cylinder #5. Could be a blown head gasket or a glitch if it continues after trying to reset codes and test. As for the other codes I have outlined there meaning below. The P0441 will not effect drivability so I would concentrate on the other codes first.
Code P0120 – Throttle/Pedal position sensor/switch “A” circuit malfunction
Code P0120 Description
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 is applied to terminal VTA and the ECM. This voltage increases in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valves and becomes approximately 2.7 ~ 5.2V when throttle is fully open. The ECM judges the vehicle driving conditions from these signals input from terminals VTA and uses them as one of the conditions for deciding the air-fuel-ratio correction, power increase correction and fuel-cut control etc.
HINT: If DTCs P0110 (Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction) and P0115 (Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunction) and P0120 (Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch ”A” Circuit Malfunction) are output simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) bay be open. Read freeze frame data using LEXUS hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
Code P0441 – Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
Code P0441 Description
The vapor pressure sensor and VSV for vapor pressure sensor are used to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system. The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system based on the vapor pressure sensor signal. DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components within the dotted line in fig. 1 below, or when there is a malfunction in either the VSV for EVAP, the VSV for vapor pressure sensor, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.
I recently replaced the crankshaft position sensor. The tach began working again, brakes stopped being super touchy, and the car would shift fine again, problem solved. However, just 2 weeks later same exact problem again. My question is, would there be a cause for this part to repeatedly fail and how to prevent it failing again?
There are a few things to look at. The sensor of course. Next look at the connection to the sensor. Then check the wiring harness and connection at the PCM.
Crankshaft Position Sensor Description
A Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) is a magnetic type sensor that generates voltage using a sensor and a target wheel mounted on the crankshaft. There are 58 slots in the target wheel where one is longer than the others. When the slot in the wheel aligns with the sensor, the sensor voltage outputs low. When the metal (tooth) in the wheel aligns with the sensor, the sensor voltage outputs high. During one crankshaft rotation there are 58 rectangular signals and one longer signal. The PCM calculates engine RPM by using the sensor’s signal and controls the injection duration and the ignition timing. Using the signal differences caused by the longer slot, the PCM identifies which cylinder is at top dead center.
Crankshaft Position Sensor Location
How to test the crankshaft position sensor
Using an ohm meter check for the Resistance. You are looking for it to read between 774 – 946. If it is not, replacement will be needed.
I have trans fluid all over my front differential of my 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo.
Most likely cause would be from a leak coming from the transmission cooler lines that attached to the radiator. One thing to remember is fluid does not travel up hill. Keep that in mind when looking for the source. Top off the transmission fluid level. Clean the area all around and above. Operate and look for the leak. Once the leak is found make the necessary repairs.
I do recommend using a 8mm socket instead of a flat blade screwdriver to tighten your hose clamps. This will give you that little bit extra that you need to get it tight.

When I was growing up, my Mom would make me eat hot cereal before going to school. I can't remember if it was only in the winter or all year long. There was oatmeal, Malt o Meal and Cream of Wheat. Does anyone eat Cream of Wheat these days? As near as I can remember, oatmeal was okay but the other two reminded me of something a prisoner would be served. Of course, I refused to eat it, then it would get cold and I still had to eat it. Just within the past few years, I've developed a love of all things oatmeal. Oatmeal is good for you and it's filling! It's the only thing I can eat for breakfast and not be famished by 11:00. I pinned this recipe for Slow Cooker oatmeal a few months ago. The apples and peaches I had in freezer were the perfect addition. I've actually made this twice over the past few weeks. I added raisins one week and dried blueberries the other. This recipe is so versatile. You could use almost any fruit, nuts or some granola. If you have kids, this recipe could be lifesaver in the morning. I saw the suggestion of using an ice cream scoop to make single servings, freeze them. When you're ready to eat them you just add milk and reheat.
Slow Cooker Overnight Oatmeal
Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray. Place 2 cups of apples (or the fruit of your choice) in the slow cooker, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1T. cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples. Pour 2 cups of oatmeal and 4 cups of water on top. Do not stir. Cook 8 - 9 hours on low.

Have you noticed how incredibly busy the gym is in January? Then, week by week, less people show up and it’s back to normal. Now that it’s February, a lot of people have forgotten about their New Year’s Resolutions and gone back to their old habits. Don’t worry — you can get right back into the swing of things with these tips from celebrity nutritionist Jillian Michaels.
- Make a resolution…and keep it. Resolutions shouldn’t be something you wait for so this new year, resolve to do it and resolve to start now!
- It’s all about balance. Eating three balanced meals (every four hours) with a snack between lunch and dinner is key. Reach for a healthier snack like carrot sticks and hummus, fresh fruit, or curb salty cravings with tasty snacks such as popchips or almonds and dried cranberries.
- Just because it’s not fried, doesn’t mean it’s not delicious! If you are in the mood to nosh, replace fried potato chips with a healthier alternative that still will satisfy that salty craving. Popchips are a great and my favorite snack option! they taste delicious and have less than half the fat of fried chips and only 100 calories in the single serve bag.
- Grab a buddy. It’s a fact that you will achieve greater success when you have the support of those closest to you. So get your friends together to support each other in being healthier in 2013.
- Create healthier alternatives to your favorite fried foods. Opt for cooking methods that use little or no fat such as steaming, grilling, baking, popping, broiling or roasting. You can still make these items taste great with the right seasoning! Have a weakness for fried chicken? Instead, take skinless chicken breast cutlets, cover them in egg whites and a crushed up cereal like cornflakes, and bake. same great taste and more than half the calories and fat.
Jillian’s new book, Slim For Life, offers tips and a plan for amazing results.
Up for grabs is the book shown here AND a 1-month supply of popchips. Y’all know I am a huge fan of these air-popped chips as they are a much healthier alternative, not to mention delicious.
To win the book and a ton of chips:
Leave a separate comment for each!
- Mandatory: Leave a comment telling me your favorite chip flavor.
- Optional: Follow me on facebook, twitter, or instagram.
- Optional: Tweet about this giveaway and tag @christinaorso
- Optional: Blog about this giveaway and leave me a link
Good luck! I’ll announce the winner on Friday!

This week, Google launched the Street View in India, which shows you 360-degree panoramic photos of the place you have searched for on Google Maps. MapmyIndia launched Mappls, whose street view feature is called RealView. While Street View is available in 10 cities, to begin with, and more cities will be added, Mappls RealView covers far greater number of cities and even rural areas.
How are images collected?
To find out how do these photo-based maps work and what benefits do these bring to the users, we spoke to Prof Gitakrishnan Ramadurai, faculty in the Transportation Engineering Division, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras.
“Google collects Street View imagery by driving, pedalling, sailing and walking around, and capturing imagery with special cameras that simultaneously collect images in multiple directions. The images are later overlapped and stitched together into a single 360-degree image,” Prof Ramadurai said. “In the case of urban Street View images you see on Google Maps on your phone, most of it is collected by a camera system mounted on top of a car, and these cars have been moving around the world for over a decade.”
According to Google, Street View cars have driven more than 10 million km in over 70 countries. The same camera system has also been mounted on tricycles, snow machines, boats, dog sleds and even the backs of camels to allow Google to travel across the world’s continents and in places where motor cars cannot reach.
Google doesn’t run its own vehicles fitted with cameras everywhere. It also partners with other companies who provide Google with images (like in India it partnered with Genesys International, an advanced mapping solutions company, and Tech Mahindra). It also crowdsources images.
“These images are connected to the GPS link of that area, and so whichever place you search for in Google, a photograph of that place will show up on Google Maps,” Prof Ramadurai said. “These millions of images are stored in the map provider’s server.”
Benefits for the user
As far as benefits to users are concerned, ‘street view’ adds a layer of assurance. “Street view is an add-on to digital maps (which are far more comprehensive). These give you a visual idea of a place you have searched for. Digital maps will show you which all restaurants are on a particular street, while street view will show you how the restaurant looks like from outside,” Prof Ramadurai said. “It is particularly helpful for people who are walking around or want to explore a place on foot.”
Challenges and accuracy
In a dynamic country like India, an image taken today might not hold true next year. Prof Ramadurai agrees: “With construction of metros, flyovers, buildings, etc, India is changing, but map providers don’t take responsibility for these images; they don’t say that it’s the current image. But, for example, in the US, Google has had a re-run of its cars taking images after a few years so that the most current photo of an area is displayed.”
Street view is different from the 3D digital replication of buildings that most map providers offer. “Those are far more complex, and use Lidar for imagery, unlike street view that uses a camera,” Prof Ramadurai said.

Rule of Law Action Group Home
The Rule of Law Action Group (RoLAG) was formed in early 2007, following the very successful Rule of Law Symposium in Chicago, organised jointly by the IBA and the American Bar Association, immediately before the IBA Annual Conference in September 2006. Initially called the 'President's Rule of Law Task Force', it has changed its name and is now firmly established as an entity within the Section on Public and Professional Interest (SPPI).
RoLAG's purpose is to encourage and assist the membership of the IBA, both member organisations and individual members, to respond on a continuous basis to the call of the IBA Council, at the end of its Resolution passed in Prague in September 2005, 'to speak out in support of the Rule of Law within their respective communities'.
The full text of that Resolution can be found in the introduction to the commentary thereon prepared by RoLAG. This was adopted by the IBA Council at its meeting during the Annual Conference in Madrid. Access other accompanying documents.
Rule of Law Action Group Advisory Council: Seated from left to right, Homer Moyer, Vice Chair; Robert A. Stein, Co-Chair; Richard J. Goldstone, Co-Chair; Anne Ramberg; Standing from left to right, Essam Al Tamimi; Peter Maynard; Yasushi Higashshizawa, Ross Ashcroft. (Advisory Council Members not pictured: Hans Corell, Hilary Heilbron.)
The Rule of Law: Perspectives from Around the Globe
General Editor: Francis Neate
The Rule of Law is one of the hot topics of this century. Everyone agrees that it is the cornerstone of a civilised society. But in practice, what does it mean? And does it mean the same thing all over the world? Who better to answer these questions than the lawyers? And who better to marshal the answers from around the world than the International Bar Association (IBA), the global voice of the legal profession?
The IBA has held a number of symposia in different parts of the world devoted to the Rule of Law, which have been addressed by a variety of distinguished speakers. These speeches are reproduced in this book, together with other contributions to broaden the global scope and assist insight into the issues.

And we shall have snow
And what will poor bikers do then poor things?
Get the fat bikes out!
As our neighbour noted: "When you bought those (fat bikes) did you think you'd get to use them in this country?" Well we have done on occasion but it's been dribs and drabs TBH, this week was different. We'd got almost to the end of February and realised that we needed to get a bivy done to keep in the Bivy a Month challenge so on Tuesday night after we'd had our tea we headed out, me on the fat bike, Cath on her Stooge. We were only going very local so just packed what kit we needed into small rucksacks.
With the strong easterly we really needed somewhere sheltered but my first option, known locally as "murder wood" following the discovery there in the 1970s of the body of a lady of ill repute was rejected by Cath. Fussy! We continued on snow covered roads with my Van Helga tyres making a right racket on the hard surface. We ended up just shy of the summit of the local hill in some old, shallow, quarry workings. Just enough shelter to be usable. I'd used this spot a couple of years ago so knew it was OK. The only problem was that there was a slight slope to the site and with the wind in the direction it was it meant that if we slid around in the night then we'd slide out from under the tarp. Oh Well.
It was almost a full moon so with the lying snow it was very bright and you certainly didn't need a torch to find kit by. Things were enlivened during the night when one of us knocked one of the poles away and we took a few minutes to get a sense of normality back. I was using my bag and quilt combo whilst Cath was using her better rated quilt. I think it's safe to say that we both found that we were at the limit of what was comfortable for the kit. I recorded -7C whilst Cath recorded -8C, suitably nippy. Whatever, come the morning we weren't about to hang around so we were up and packing before our 0630 alarm went off. It was cold enough that we kept our duvets on as getting back home was nearly all downhill.
It was just as well we got the bivy that night as the following day The Beast from the East (as our press liked to call it) or Thursday as it's known to the Finns, arrived. I chickened out of biking into work, it turned out I'd have been the only person in the office anyway as no-one else got in. I had to dial in to a video call but that could be done from anywhere, most of the day was spent keeping the wood stove going. We were still blocked in on Friday so that was another "snow day" and another conference call. I'd noticed a knocking in my headset and couldn't fix it - the top bearing had collapsed so a quick phone call to Stuart Rider to check he'd got the appropriate bearing ("Is it the 41.2mm or the 42mm version?" - typical bike industry and their standards) so head into town to get it fixed.
It comes to something when you have to wear full on winter mountaineering kit to ride a bike but I was wearing a full set of Paramo salopettes and jacket just to keep the wind at bay. No drama except for two incidents: I came across a council grit spreader stuck in a snow drift (didn't take any shots as the guys weren't happy and they had big shovels!) and whilst negotiating said drift I sprained my already sore back. Bummer! Headset sorted there was no problem getting home.
Come Saturday and it was going to be something local again. We worked out a route that used a mixture of mostly roads to gain height and mostly bridleways to lose it that looped in and around the hills. If things started to get out of hands then we could just use the roads to get back home. So back up the mostly cleared road up to Murder Wood (not dropping any hints dear, honest!) then a short bit of bridleway that I'd never been on before. Cath said it was usually boggy but with the cold and snow it was fine, just the odd drift as you rode across a sloping step and the back wheel would give way or coming to a comedic halt as the drift ahead deepened.
A quick dog-leg on the next road and then it was more bridleway, this time through heather and a mixture of pushing and rideable. Soon the gradient headed down and we could ride for longer sections. The next bit was tracks and fields to get us down to the old Skipton to Colne railway track. There were some good snow banks here that were firm enough to ride down, great fun.
This bit of the track is used by a "Land Rover Experience" setup which in practice means puddles, not nice in winter so we'd wind on and off the old track bed trying to keep our feet dry. The next bit of track is now access road to a farm and easy going. What we came to next was the result of one person clearing the road from one end "as far as possible" and someone at the other end clearing the road "as far as possible". We were just left with "possible", except it wasn't. A couple of hundred metres of steeply drifted snow. Hmm.
Next the big climb of the route. First bit on road (part of my preferred road ride route home) then some cheeky riding through some woods to the top road. Cath managed to clean the first of the steep ramps of the route through the woods for the first time.
We'd got into the woods and spinning steadily away when I got the feeling that the bike was handling differently. The back tyre was nearly flat. The thing was, in the snow it gave brilliant grip so I thought I'd leave it and see how I got on. Pretty well as it turned out so once at the road I pumped it back up hoping that the (fifteen month old) sealant would do its job.
Another bit of cheeky riding ensued, well it would have been riding if the track wasn't a metre deep in snow! We'd ridden this bit getting to the bivy the other day but now it was twenty minutes of hike-a-bike. Our bivy site looked quite drifted in, a change in wind direction had scoured some parts of the hill and deposited everything here. You could see our tracks from Wednesday pressed into the now bare ground. No time to hang around at the summit, the wind was biting, down the same descent as Wednesday but on lightly drifted ground not 30cm deep snow.
|The white strips are our tracks from three days earlier.|
Lower down the snow was again in a completely different configuration to earlier in the week and we got to the next road to find that my tyre was semi-flat again. Another re-inflation and we decided just to head back on the road, the next bridleway looked drifted in.
|So, you are just going to park your bike there then?|
For a 20km ride it packed a lot in!

"This English version of Vietnam’s national poem will contribute to a better understanding of the people of Vietnam and of their traumatic experience in death and war, in exodus and separation."—Nguyen Dinh-Hoa, Washington Post Book World
"The Tale of Kieu occupies a very special place in Vietnamese literature… Thông should be commended for a very close rendering of the original. His understanding of the Vietnamese language, its subtleties, and its nuances apparently has no equal."—Truong Buu Lam, Journal of Asian Studies
"Near perfect. . . . Should be read by those who want to know the heart and mind of the Vietnamese people."—Tran Van Dinh, Asia
"The new notes add immensely to the richness of the translation, allowing the careful reader a detailed glimpse into the author’s world of literary images and deepening one’s appreciation for his subtle skill of expression. Anyone seeking to understand the Vietnamese people, their cultural outlook and mentality, can profitably begin with this book."—K. W. Taylor, JSEAS (Singapore)
"Of great interest to both scholars and admirers of Vietnamese culture. . . . Kieu's undying love endears herself to the Vietnamese, and poet Du is eulogized for creating a figure of pathos with whom the nation can identify. Kieu symbolizes feminine beauty and innocence; her tragic fate mirrors Vietnam's."—Nguyen Ngoc Bich, Asiaweek
"This 3,254-line narrative poem is the national cultural treasure of Vietnam—the equivalent of Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Holy Bible and Bartlett's Quotations rolled into one. . . . No one with a pretense of serious interest in Vietnam can afford to be ignorant of this work."—Indochina Quarterly
"Kieu, a minor footnote to Chinese history, became through the genius of Nguyen Du a Vietnamese metaphor whose significance has changed with times and audiences. If anyone can make Kieu and her enduring attraction to Vietnamese readers accessible to Americans, it is Huynh Sanh Thong."—Hue-Tam Ho Tai, Pacific Affairs
"For decades this poem has been read, sung and taught in schools in the melodious tonal language of Vietnam. We can now read, sing and teach the same novel in English, thanks to this marvelous job of translation and interpretation."—Dinh-Hoa Nguyen, World Literature Today
"Huynh Sanh Thông’s splendidly controlled blank verse is as close a representation as one could ask for of the concise, tightly balanced, epigrammatic quality of the original poem; and his marvelously thorough notes and introductory material plus the bilingual text make this edition a continuous joy to use."—Eric Henry, University of North Carolina
From the Back Cover
Since its publication in the early nineteenth century, this long narrative poem has stood unchallenged as the supreme masterpiece of Vietnamese literature. Huynh's new and absorbingly readable translation (on pages facing the Vietnamese text) is illuminated by notes that give comparative passages from the Chinese novel on which the poem was based, details on Chinese allusions, and literal translations with background information explaining Vietnamese proverbs and folk sayings.

...this moment is your life.
Spring is in the air - and so is exam week. With mounting pressure from impending exams, with essays to write and projects to polish, with analyses to run and talks to present, how do we stay happy?
Anima sana in corpore sano
A healthy mind in a healthy body: This is more than a simple word of wisdom. What we eat, how much water we drink, how many hours we sleep, and how much exercise we get, affect the quality of our everyday lives. Many people sigh that they don't have 30 minutes to go to the rec center, but working out pays off. The resulting endorphin and motivation boost will help you feel more relaxed, and more efficient.
Spend time with your family
People who spend more time with their parents are happier. This is hard when your family lives more than 5000 miles away (like mine does). However, social "snacking," or looking at photos, writing letters, and thinking of good memories with loved others, leads to a temporary increase in our moods. Next time you find that you have 15 minutes of free time, why not send your parents or siblings a hand-written letter?
Research consistently shows that people who volunteer live longer lives, indicate that they have more social support and more friends, and generally feel better about themselves than people who don't volunteer. Helping others is a win-win situation: The person who receives help will often benefit, and the person who gives help benefits too. If you don't have time to commit hours to volunteering, consider doing something prosocial: Let a stranger go ahead of you in line, help carry someone's books, or donate money to someone who needs it.
You know yourself better than anyone else does. What do you need in order to de-stress? A long, slow walk? A good book? An hour of classical music? An evening out with friends? Whatever you prefer, take time to do it. You deserve it, and you should feel good about your time off. Final piece of research evidence: People who are constantly thinking of something else than what they are doing, are overall less happy than people who focus on the here and now. Something to keep in mind!
I hope the end of the semester approaches you all well.
Stay healthy, stay well, stay connected, stay happy.

Food Amino Acids Market To Reach USD 10.05 Billion By 2028
Healthy nature of amino acids, need for convenience food, consumers shift towards high nutritional food, top key players continuous innovations and mergers, heavy advertising by the top manufacturers to attract customers.
Market Size – USD 5,898.7 Million in 2020, Market Growth - CAGR of 7.0%, Market Trend- Demand from nutraceuticals and dietary supplement manufacturers is expected to have a significant impact
New York, March 30,2020-According to a new report by Reports and Data, the global Food Amino Acids market was valued at USD 5,898.7 Million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 10.05 Billion by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 7.0%. Amino acids are organic compounds that include amino and carboxyl compounds. They’re the building blocks of proteins that play a vital role within the natural processes of a body. They’re found in abundance in meat, seafood, eggs, dairy products, quinoa, and soy products. Amino acids are beneficial for strengthening the system, developing muscles, fighting arthritis and cancer, and treating tinnitus and rectal diseases.
Rising health-consciousness among consumers has boosted the demand for nutrient-rich food. This has stimulated the manufacturers to present protein-rich foods and beverages within the global market, resulting in a rise within the need for amino acids. But this, amino acids are used for the manufacturing of supplements that are consumed by athletes. Athletes often have the risk of the body breaking down muscle tissues for fuel, consuming an amino acid supplement 30-60 minutes before a workout will help to prevent this damage by jumpstarting muscle repair through protein synthesis. Further, amino acids are employed in animal feed to supplement the protein requirement of the animals. Such benefits offered by amino acid drives the global amino acid market.
Consumer preference for consumption of protein rich-dietary supplements has intensified owing to biological presentation and improved amino acid functioning. Amino acids being the prime component of protein sources, are supposed to be one of the vital clusters of primary nutrients. Rising understanding towards the worthiness of the nine essential amino acids, including leucine, lysine, valine, tryptophan, threonine, histidine, isoleucine, and methionine have alerted the consumers for the dangers associated with latter’s’ deficiency.
North America led by Canada and also the U.S. amino acid market demand is poised to expand at a considerable rate of growth over the forecast years. Growing consumer awareness towards protein-rich and sugar food products may drive the merchandise demand. Glycine and alanine are added to those food products which successively enhance taste and flavor. Furthermore, aspartame, which is sort of 200 times sweeter than sucrose and is employed as a low-calorie artificial sweetener in drinkable products, thereby, stimulates the market demand. The APAC amino acid market demand, mainly driven by China and India, project significant growth by the top of predicted timeframe. China meat consumption is highest in the APAC region as a result of the increasing demand for meat commodities, which incorporate pork, poultry, beef, lamb, and other meat as well. Alanine and glycine are primary amino acids that are present in meat. All essential amino acids present in meat provide 28 grams of protein on a serving of 100 grams of meat, thereby driving the merchandise demand.
Utilizing the expertise of Prinova group and capturing the opportunity of the growing food amino acid market, Nagase Group acquired Prinova Group in June 2019, LLC creating a uniquely competitive offering of food ingredients. Prinova is a chief manufacturer and distributor of premium nutrition ingredients for the global food and wellness industries. Through this deal, Nagase Group strengthens its dedication to expanding its global footprint in the food and nutritional ingredients industry. Nagase Group plans to leverage the new expertise to broaden its product portfolio and offerings to the market. The addition of Prinova’s knowledge, unique positioning, and portfolio offering enables Nagase to expand its food and nutrition ingredients value chain in North America, Europe, and also in Asia.

Further key findings from the report suggest
- In children, arginine, histidine, cysteine, glycine, tyrosine, glutamine and proline are essential (indispensable) amino acids, because children are unable to make enough to meet their needs. Demand from infant formula makers to include these acids will drive market growth
- Dietary supplementation of essential amino acids (EAAs) has been shown to promote lifespan. Thus, the demand from dietary supplement manufacturers is also expected to be significant
- In addition to robust market demand, further economic development in emerging countries and expansion of applications for amino acids is expected to boost the size of the food amino acid market
- Europe is expected to dominate the market, with a significant market share of 25.4% in 2020. The Germany and the UK contributed the largest revenue share to the European market

No snow? We’re still in the holiday spirit over here at brown ink headquarters. And with Hanukkah beginning this Saturday and Christmas three weeks away it’s time to send out the elves. We’ve found a few goodies to make even the most uber-electronic fanatic consider some items from the old-school.
First off, let’s start with the gifts that keep on giving.
And now, down to business….
These rad Colored Pencils from Target are ideal stocking stuffers for a friend with pizazz.
I love the way the Serrote Letterpress Notebook brings a bit of Portuguese culture into its cover.
Just crazy about these wheel printed cover notebooks from Postalco. Take a look at how they hand-create each one.
Welcome to the world of Thumbook, a tiny signature book that “connects people through pen & ink.” Novel idea. On one side you create a self-portrait incorporating your thumb print and on the other side write a thought or two. Take a look for yourself.
Keeping your words close to the heart, here’s a gift for a true journal lover.
Maxx & Unicorn notebooks are well-made and the ideal pocket size. The dark camo design might just be cool enough for the untraditional nephew.
Surprise your mum with her very own custom stamp from Pretty Chic.
This letterpress stationery set is perfect for the sailor or boy scout in the family.
You can never go wrong with personalized stationery, especially if you select a classic style from the designers at Missive. Treat yourself.
For the friend who can’t stop typing, surprise her with a new font from My Fonts. At least her emails will arrive in script!
Monogrammed necklaces appear to be the rage these days (don’t you love the 80’s revival?). Get into the groove with this calligraphy necklace from brevity. Your B/F/F/A/E will be so touched she might even loan you her rainbow t-shirt over holiday break.
Of course, if someone in your life needs a little hint as to what you might be wishing for this holiday season…
The elves at russell+hazel are so bright with ideas they came up with this Holiday Wish List to help those troubled buyers (p.s. 20% off all orders over $50 through Dec 6).
Here’s something to give a personal touch to your gifts – DIY chalkboard holiday gift tags. A perfect craft to accompany you in front of the fire while you dream of sugar plum fairies writing letters of well wishes (my sugar plum fairies write, not dance)….hmmm, I think that egg nog might be setting in! Ho-Ho-Ho.

A scheme to refurbish part of Maghera Leisure Centre is to be agreed by Mid Ulster District Council.
Investment of close of £120K will see the sports hall floor surface resurfaced, a new 3G surface installed at the existing synthetic pitch and new dug outs on the grass soccer pitch which are required for league matches.
Chair of the Council’s Development Committee, Councillor Trevor Wilson, welcomed the facility’s upgrade.
“Maghera Leisure Centre first opened in 2003 and wear and tear in the intervening years to the existing surfaces means they are no longer fit for purpose,” he said.
“This investment will bring them back to a high standard, enhancing our facilities and offering an improved experience for our customers”.
A contractor will be appointed to undertake the work, which should begin early in the new year. It is expected the work will take four weeks to complete.
