Covering over 6 years of photojournalism along this iconic stretch of Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, photographers Michael Baker & Phil Portus have documented a moment in time within the pages of this important book.
Commencing in 2016 following a chance meeting with local charity worker, Hanif Bobat, of Ethnic Health Forum, they set out to capture the ever-changing landscape and cultural diversity of the ‘Curry Mile’ before it changed beyond all recognition. Perceptions of this street are forever evolving and the project raises the very pertinent question as to whether the term ‘Curry Mile’ is now a misnomer.
What was traditionally a predominantly Indian & Pakistani influenced neighbourhood, the area has certainly evolved exponentially over recent times, influenced by immigration from the Middle East and East Africa conflict areas. The result has seen an increase in cultural diversity where multinationalism in terms of language, bespoke shops, restaurants, cafes, dessert parlours and barbers have sprung up to serve this ‘new’ community.
The photographs capture many of the scenes, people, places and religious events of this neighbourhood and are complimented by a small collection of ‘Curry Mile Stories’ where past memories and future aspirations of Rusholme are recorded by members of the community.
“There are around 90 different dialects and languages spoken here. It is multiculturalism at its best.”
Rabnawaz Akbar – labour councillor for Rusholme ward.

Evacuating all the purulent
material and keeping the pouch empty is the goal.
Surgery was performed in 7 including excision of intrapericardial xanthogranuloma, pericardial tissue biopsy in a child with restrictive cardiomyopathy, and 5 patients with purulent
pericarditis who underwent drainage procedures including pericardiotomy and mediastinal exploration for mediastinal fluid drainage and removal of adhesions in 2 patients (Table 2).
pericarditis is a rare and serious condition with a high chance of complications and mortality.
The examination results of LDH, CK and LA between the two groups: The examination results of the cerebrospinal fluid demonstrated that, the LDH concentration of the tubercular meningitis group was the highest, the CK concentration of the purulent
meningitis group was the highest, and the LA concentration of the tubercular meningitis group and purulent
meningitis group was higher than the other two groups.
Odontogenic phlegmon of the mouth floor is an acute, purulent
, disseminated inflammation of the loose connective tissue, spreading quickly, without marked borders, affecting submandibular, submental, and sublingual spaces, which can develop into the most severe, frequently life-threatening form of purulent
* All cases of generalised purulent
peritonitis from other causes, except appendicitis.
After antibiotic therapy was completed, the endoscopic examination revealed resolution of the purulent
drainage and the presence of a narrowed, slit-like sphenoid sinus ostium (figure 1, C) with mild edematous swelling along the lateral aspect of the ostial opening (figure 1, D).
A significantly higher number of patients (p less than 0.05) in control group B (seven patients) developed purulent
discharge from wound site as compared to study group A (one patient).
Mucoid and purulent
nasal discharges are caused by the presence of foreign matter such as grasses or weeds in the nose - this usually results in sneezing and pawing at the nose when first inhaled but over time you may only see nasal discharge and occasional sneezing.
Clinical signs of infection are heat swelling purulent
discharge or pain.
Adenovirus is usually the cause of viral conjunctivitis and does not cause eyelid matting and no purulent
The guidelines, drafted by a 10-member panel, offer a novel algorithm for management of nonpurulent and purulent
infections that defines a pathway for mild, moderate, and severe infections in each category.

Legal victories taste so sweet!
A judge has now issued an injunction preventing Haven Beauty from using any photos at all of the sisters.
However, even with this win, the case is far from being settled. We'll keep you updated!
[Image via WENN.]
We're torn over this!
On one hand, Emma Watson's beauty is breathtaking, but on the other, this look feels too serious for the young actress.
The 23-year-old chose a dark Oscar de la Renta gown worthy of a grand dame at the New York premiere of Noah last night.
Even with an open back, the dress was too matronly overall and seemed to cast a pall over Emma's youthful good looks.
That said, we loved her Ana Khouri diamond ear cuff, royal blue pumps, and bold red lip!
What do U think of Emma's red carpet ensem???

Bierce also uses figurative language to display the tone to his readers. "He distinctly heard whispers in an unknown tongue (Bierce)." Although the phrasing of this is not necessarily cynical, it still gives off an uncanny vibe, which helps in portraying a cynical tone throughout the story. Ambrose Bierce demonstrates another tone throughout his short story as well, irony. In fact, the entire story itself is quite ironic.
Author F. Scott Fitzgerald often referred to his short story “Winter Dreams” as a prototype to his famed novel The Great Gatsby. This is because the two stories share awfully similar themes and characters with each other. The two stories differentiate from each other in various ways as well. Reading these two great works really depicts the similarities between the two. The characters in both “Winter Dreams” and The Great Gatsby share undeniable similarities and yet subtle differences that not only drive them together but also make them unique in their own way.
They both have different concepts but overcome the same meaning. Bradbury writes, “They had written small stories or essays or poems about the sun” (Bradbury 1). However, in “The Most Dangerous Game,” Connell portrays the tone of mystery to inspire his characters to chase after what they believe. Connell illustrates a powerful statement: “He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find- the print of hunting boots” (Connell 3). Having the same outcome, they both are motivated by different emotions.
Renowned author, Louise Erdrich, seamlessly portrays the duality of her characters as well as their struggles with identity in her novel, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. By doing so, she creates a relatable story that connects with her readers, which therefore allows for a total immersion into the story as her characters are so strongly developed. These unique identities of Erdrich’s characters seem to live within them like a natural portion of their existence. For example, even a minor character like Arnold “The Actor” Anderson depicts a double-edged personality as he is described to have a captivating air about him, yet he is a callous killer. Next, the dichotomy seen through Sister Leopolda is much more intense and multifaceted than say of Nanapush or Mary Kashpaw.
Symbolism is an important aspect of the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. There are quite a few examples of double meaning within this book. One of the most significant qualities of this piece is the symbolism and the clever, yet subtle, way it is presented throughout the book. Some of the symbols found on the surface are love, dreams, and hope, but there are also meanings which can only be discovered by digging deep. One specific symbol that is focused on throughout the book is Tom and Daisy Buchanan’s mansion.
Literary Elements Essay Literary elements are like weather, they are always there and add more to the book like excitement or suspense.they also give the book a little more interesting instead of something being always the exact same. figurative language can be compared to rainy, sunny, and snowy weather “Ashes” is a short story that features the protagonist Ashleigh struggles inside to help her dad as well to do the right thing. Susan Beth Pfeffer’s short story “Ashes” included many different literary elements such as figurative language, theme, and conflict. Figurative language is like a rainy day, it is not uncommon and can make the book more fun to read and make you see things differently. When introducing Dad, Pfeffer used figurative
The limited perspective the reader has of these nameless characters creates an even more unsettling atmosphere to Bell's dream/fairytale like prose. The dirt, woods, and lake in the title of the book are reoccurring themes throughout the story. The woods, and the lake are often used in classical fairytales as turning points and cause of change for the protagonist and is used similarly in this story for the protagonist and his wife. Although the novel itself deals with more mature topics like miscarriage and is graphic at points Bell's language is very appealing. It's easy to get lost in the lyrical almost poetry like writing that weaves together both beautiful and intense images that leave the reader engrossed in every word.
The author is successful on using irony, scapegoat and symbolism to make a perfect short story. He makes the reader to wonder what is coming next and implies many things throughout the story. The author also infers that tradition is part of a society and humans can change their mind and heart just by a blink of an
Different types of irony within The Crucible The Crucible contains several examples of situational, verbal, and dramatic irony. Arthur Miller uses irony in many ways, his reason for using irony is to catch and keep the reader’s attention. For example he uses dramatic irony to create anxiety and tension within the story. Many other authors use irony to make their audience think about what is being said as well as what is going on in the story. Most irony is used intentionally, but in some cases it can be used unintentionally.
Pastor Martin Niemoller’s work of literature is titled “First They Came.” This piece is identified as a poem, which is defined in the Longman Dictionary as a piece of literature that expresses emotions, experiences, ideas, especially in short lines using a rhyme scheme, but not always. On the other hand, Eve Bunting’s piece is titled “Terrible Things,” which is a short story, but more specifically an allegory. The purpose of Eve Bunting writing “Terrible Things” in the way that she did was to tell a story that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, but while keeping the audience entertained. “First They Came” was written to

BOSTON, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CyberSaint, Inc. today announced the release of CyberStrong™, a breakthrough cybersecurity cloud platform that enables organizations to manage cybersecurity as a measurable and predictable business function. CyberStrong is powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud and AWS Artificial Intelligence (AI) services. The new offering is also hosted in the AWS NIST/FISMA regulatory compliant cloud environment.
Industry experts predict that CyberStrong will revolutionize the cybersecurity industry. "Today's cybersecurity solutions are mostly disjointed point solutions, which are hard to justify, prioritize, and reconcile with each other," said Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Research Affiliate and cybersecurity expert Dr. Raphael Yahalom. "CyberStrong is a radically new, unified platform that humanizes cybersecurity and leads to measured, risk informed decisions and actions."
Cybersecurity can be an unpredictable, chaotic, and immature business process for many organizations. Companies often struggle to measure benefits from cybersecurity investments. CyberStrong helps companies improve resiliency to cyberattacks, measure their cybersecurity posture against accepted standards, plan activity, track improvements over time, and create clear cybersecurity scorecards. This capability will empower board members, executives, and constituents access to important security information in a timely manner.
"We differ from existing cybersecurity solutions. The CyberStrong platform is based largely on the new National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and breakthrough artificial intelligence," according to CyberSaint CEO, George Wrenn.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is based on best practices promoted by national cybersecurity experts, companies, academia, and government agencies. Gartner predicts that over 50% of organizations will adopt the NIST Cybersecurity Framework by the year 2020.
"CyberStrong uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence services, tapping into Amazon AWS Artificial Intelligence services to recommend cybersecurity improvements that will give users the most benefit for any given level of investment," according to Chief Intelligence Officer, Scott Schlimmer, a former CIA officer. "CyberStrong and AWS AI services determine how to best utilize limited cybersecurity resources, saving time and money."
CyberSaint is a cybersecurity company based in Boston, Massachusetts. CyberSaint enables organizations to control cybersecurity as a managed business process, based on standards, and involving everyone in the organization. For more information, please visit: https://www.cybersaint.io.

Members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the House of Representatives yesterday protested against a decision by the lower chamber to give the use of card reader for elections a constitutional backing.
Amid intense opposition from members of the PDP, the House, presided over by Speaker Yakubu Dogara, consolidated and passed through the second reading, a bill seeking amendments to four aspects of the Electoral Act, which borders on use of card readers for elections, death of presidential or gubernatorial candidate, party disclosure on funds as well as diaspora voting.
The House also passed through second reading, an alteration of the 2010 Electoral Act by incorporating diaspora voting in the presidential elections in the country.
If the bill becomes law, vice-presidential and deputy governorship candidates will be empowered to assume the position of candidates if their principal candidate dies before the completion of an election.
Leading the opposition on the bill, Minority Leader and PDP caucus leader, Hon. Leo Ogor (PDP, Delta), who noted the difference between electronic voting and card reader, stated that the card reader was nothing but an instrument used to disenfranchise Nigerians.
Ogor, who argued that rather than improve the electoral process, the card did more damage to the voting than harm saying that if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wants to introduce electronic voting, it should do so, but stressed that the PDP would oppose any attempt to introduce card readers into the Electoral Act.
He said: “Card reader is an instrument of disenfranchising Nigerians. INEC should wake up to their responsibility. We should go for clear electronic voting. “Any attempt to introduce the card readers into the Electoral Act, we will go fully against it,” Ogor warned.

3,666 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Ireland today.
The five-day moving average of new cases is now 4,516 - a slight drop compared to yesterday.
According to the latest HSE figures, there are 638 patients with COVID-19 being treated in hospitals today.
It's a drop of 47 since yesterday, but still 4% higher than last Tuesday.
The number of patients in ICU, meanwhile, has risen to 130.
It's an increase of four from yesterday's figure of 126, and is 14% higher than last week.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said: “We know that the level of worry has increased to levels last seen in April this year.
"We know what we are asking people to do to help suppress the spread of disease in our communities is very difficult. If we all make a concerted effort it can make a difference.
"Our research tells us that people are listening to the public health advice and are reducing the number of people they are planning to meet, and are cancelling social events, to reduce their contacts."

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) -- Virginia Beach will mostly likely have to send $20 M dollars back to the state after voters overwhelmingly decided they didn’t want to extend light rail to Town Center.
There is a possibility that the City could keep the money if it can come up with another mass transit plan, but the City says there’s a big chance it has to pay the money back.
The City is now asking for the public’s input on what it should do with the 10.6 strip of land that was supposed to be used for light rail. Ideas are being sent in through public forums, social media, and an online survey.
Deputy City Manager of Infrastructure Thomas Leahy says residents have come up with a number of alternatives including turning the land into a bike and hiking path, or building a road for rapid bus transit system. In the latter of the two examples, only buses would be allowed to use that road.
“The way it’s done in some cities is, it has a dedicated bus lane that cars can't use,” he said.
Leahy says a new plan is going to take time, but the city will continue to invest in roads, expand the number of bus routes, and look into new technology.
“The population is increasing and keeps getting gridlocked—especially in this area-- it's a parking lot. So they’re going to have to get creative,” resident Don Clark said.

The process of applying for a mail-in ballot is a mess. It’s entirely the Legislature’s fault. And lawmakers were warned it would happen.
We can’t say simply or strongly enough how badly the new Texas election-security law has screwed up the situation for thousands of Texans who want to vote absentee and are allowed to do so.
The law requires applicants to list either part of their Social Security number or their driver’s license number. For the application to be approved, the number must match whatever the applicant used to register to vote. But few remember which they used or even realize that it’s an issue. So, county election officials have no choice but to reject the application.
Mail ballot security is important. Fraud, while still rare, is much more likely in absentee balloting than in-person voting. But Republican lawmakers were warned of this exact problem when writing the law last year. Their only attempt to fix it — allowing the voter to try, try again — falls far short of the convenience that elderly and disabled voters deserve.
At one point this month, Tarrant County was rejecting 40% of applications over the issue, elections administrator Heider Garcia told county commissioners. That rate has improved since, but other large counties are having similar issues.
Garcia advises applicants to list both numbers to avoid the issue. Rejected applicants receive a letter and another application to send in. But the deadline to apply, Feb. 18, is fast approaching.
Some people registered under a driver’s license they no longer have, and they’ll have to take additional steps to “cure” their application. A small number will be affected, but this kind of hassle is the exact problem with so many election-security initiatives.
We’ll say again: Vote fraud is extremely rare. So is voter suppression. The heated debate around these issues, all the way up to President Joe Biden comparing his opponents to segregationists, is the result of incredibly close elections in which each side’s core voters are convinced that the other party is so unlikable that it wins only when it cheats.
The political irony in Texas and elsewhere is that the elderly, more likely to use absentee ballots, are an important Republican constituency. When GOP legislators make mail voting more difficult, they hurt their own efforts. And intentionally or not, they buy into the idea that higher turnout is automatically better for Democrats, when research — and election results such as in Virginia last year — show that’s not the case.
There’s an important distinction between how Texas handles mail voting and what some Western states do. California and others mail out actual ballots automatically to registered voters. Texas requires a vetted application to dispatch a ballot. Some conflate the two as a way to taint all mail-in voting, which isn’t fair to the millions of law-abiding Texans who rely on it.
Then there’s the issue of the difficulty of registering to vote in Texas. New registration is impossible online; the necessary form must be mailed to your county elections office. The secretary of state’s office is limiting the number of applications given to voter-registration groups because it can’t ensure an adequate paper supply. Really.
Individuals can print the form and mail it in, if they have the necessary computer equipment. And at least in this case, supply-chain issues have stung businesses and individuals in a number of unexpected ways.
The problem with mail-ballot applications? It was known, predicted and inadequately addressed. That’s your Legislature at work.

Butterflies of 20,000 species from nearly every continent come and go throughout the year at Walt Disney World Resort!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park is home to more than 1,500 animals representing 250 species. While butterflies are not officially housed in an exhibit, many call the Park home–or “home away from home” during migrations–and can be found flittering around the Park any day of the year.
The best way to spot butterflies at Animal Kingdom is to pause from the constant go-go-go pace the theme parks often require. Slow down, step to the side, and look closely at the flowers and foliage. Many flowers and known butterfly-host plants are strategically planted throughout the Park to invite the delicate insects for a visit. The gardens vary by butterfly habitat requirements, such as what host plant the caterpillars need to survive and pupate and what nectar adult butterflies feed on.
Spotting butterflies at Disney\’s Animal Kingdom Park & across Walt Disney World Resort
Did you know?
Over 8,000 acres of Walt Disney World Resort (that’s nearly one-third of the property) is set aside for wildlife conservation. Disney, as the founding member of the Florida Butterfly Monitoring Network, has established a portion of this space to butterfly monitoring so scientists can learn more about population patterns, identify endangered species, and develop conservation strategies. As a result of Disney’s dedication, the rare atala hairstreak butterfly pictured above, once thought to be extinct in Florida, is now thriving in the state. The butterflies are raised and released into their native habitat on the Atlantic coast at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort where the species’ host plant, a palm-like plant called the coontie, grows in abundance. Disney also implements Integrated Pest Management techniques to minimize the negative effects of pesticides and reduce chemical threats to butterflies on the property.
Guests can learn more about The Walt Disney Company’s commitment to conservation by experiencing Backstage Tales, a behind-the-scenes tour of the animal facilities offered at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park.
The theme parks and conservation areas are not the only places to spot butterflies. Some of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels have gardens dedicated to Florida butterfly species, with nectar plants like firebrush and wild petunia and host plants like milkweed and passion vine attracting both common butterflies like the zebra longwing and at-risk species like the Duke’s Skipper.

Butterflies can be found on every continent except Antarctica, of course, and can thrive in a variety of conditions, such as wetlands, lowlands, tropics, mountains, forests, and farmlands. You can even spot them in your own backyard! For additional fun, purchase a Butterfly Garden, and raise and release your own butterflies to the environment!

The heartwarming and memorable Newbery Honor-winning book about caring for the family and sharing his unusual home under the bridge. The heartwarming and memorable Newbery Honor-winning book about finding family in the unlikeliest places, featuring artwork by beloved illustrator Garth Wil. The story of a Parisian tramp, Armand, who finds a ready-made family to live with him under the bridge, was a Newbery Honor book when it was first published.
One of the main characters is an old vagabond Armand who loves Paris and wants to do no work. The others are a set of red-headed children who find themselves homeless in winter in the city of lights.
Both are wary of each other but when they do warm up to each other, magic unfolds. The author does not sugar coat the realities or difficulties the children have to face. Fortunately, despite all the obstacles it is a happy tale, one that fills us with hope.
Armand, the hobo, Suzy, Evelyne and Paul, the Calcet children all come alive through his beautiful rendition of them. One morning Armand finds himself face to face with a bunch of 'starlings' as he calls children and their dog Jojo as he hunts for space under the bridge.
Armand has very fixed feelings about children. And he wanted nothing to do with children. They meant homes and responsibility and regular work - and all the things he had turned his back on so long ago.
And he was looking for adventure. The hobo and the starlings come face to face They assess each other and the oldest of the children Suzy realises there are benefits in sharing their space with the old man. They narrate to him how their mother works as a laundress and they fear that if their condition is known they will be put in foster homes and be separated from each other.
The old man and the children get into a symbiotic relationship. Their mother, on the other hand, is not so pleased but when she sees that the children are probably safer in the company of the old hobo, she relents. The old man shares his food with the children When two do-good women find the children under the bridge and decide that they must inform the police and send the children to a Children's Home, the old man starts to seek an alternative home for the children and himself.
The author tugs at our heartstrings when she describes how Armand dissuades them from thinking about or missing the wonderful Christmas delights that are on display at every street corner. No sooner had he coaxed them away from the mechanical toy than they came to a bakery shop.
There was a Christmas log cake in the window -such a delicious log.
ISBN 13: 9780060209919
It was choclatey brown with fancy mushrooms popping from it's sweet bark. Armand takes the children and their mother to live with the gypsies.
However, the gypsies are soon run off as well when one of the gypsies is sought after by the police for cutting down a rare Christmas tree. Homeless again, the children desperately want a home. It is here that Armand finally decides to take a real job instead of being a hobo.
He happens to find a caretaker job where housing is included. In the end, this make-shift family finally has a home.
Written in , this book won the Newbery Honor Award in If you keep this in mind and use it to study the times it was written in, then this is a good book. Also, at one point, Armand uses the children to sing so they can collect money for food.
Also, the mother is racist against the gypsies and looks down upon them the entire book.A wee bit schmaltzy, but still splendid. It takes place during the days around Christmas, so you may want to read it then.
Be prepared for lots of questions from your child. The Family Under the Bridge is a celebration of the City of Light, a celebration of generosity and kindness, and a celebration of family sticking together through tough times. I don't have a problem with it.
We follow them through Christmas all the way up to New Year. They narrate to him how their mother works as a laundress and they fear that if their condition is known they will be put in foster homes and be separated from each other. The Caleets help to make him presentable; he takes a bath and uses the new soap that Madame Caleet gave him for Christmas.
Mentions a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Sara and the story behind how she was sainted. One of the main characters is an old vagabond Armand who loves Paris and wants to do no work.

Producer Thyagarajan who acquired the remake rights of Akshay Kumar's 'Special 26' for all the South Indian languages has approached Raviteja to play the lead in Telugu version. Even Our Massraja responded positively but he could only shoot for this movie after wrapping up 'Kick 2' and 'Bengal Tiger'.
Raviteja claims he and Akshay Kumar look one and the same physique wise. He, however, is very particular that a lot of changes need to made in the remake as his films are meant to entertain audience. "'Special 26' is very raw and a different film. Audience don't accept me in serious kind of roles," he quotes, saying the Telugu remake will have more entertainment quotient had if he is part of it.
Interestingly, Akshay Kumar has starred in the Hindi remake of 'Vikramarkudu' titled as 'Rowdy Rathore'. Now, Raviteja is getting into the shoes of B-Town Khiladi for the Telugu remake of 'Special 26'. The two stars have been in touch since few years and share a good bonding as well.


In 2004, Yvette in collaboration with Dr. C.J. Bearman and supported by Sue Isherwood of Somerset County Council, published 20,000 copies of the Somerset Folk Map. This was the inspiration for another major research project.
The Singing Landscape Project evolved and in 2008 was successful in securing a £204,000 Knowledge Transfer Fellowship (KTF) from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
The outcome was the publication of the Hampshire Folk Map (2010) and the Gloucestershire Folk Map (2010) and a Singing Landscape Touring Exhibition of Cecil Sharp's photographs of folk singers in Somerset.
The Singing Landscape Project aims to re-connect families with their singing ancestors and the maps and exhibition have excited many to do so. Perhaps you have a singing ancestor?

Pre-Production has begun and regular production is expected by the end of the year
The Hummer EV will be made in GM’s Factory Zero
Other full size EVs from GM will be made there
The GMC Hummer EV has been one of the most anticipated vehicles since it was announced over a year ago.
Pre-Production has now begun and residents of the Detroit area will be able to see some of these vehicles undergoing final tests on the road.
The Hummer EV will be built in General Motors’ new Zero factory, which was previously known as Hammtrack assembly before it received a yet to be completed refurbishment in order to produce electric vehicles.
This factory has a long history since it sits on the grounds of the first Dodge assembly plant that was built in 1911. The current building was produced its first car, a Cadillac Eldorado, in 1985.
After having produced the last Chevrolet Impala in February of 2020, General Motors idled the plant in order to begin the $2.2 billion makeover needed for electric car production.
This construction work on the factory should be completed by the end of the year, at which point the Hummer EV will enter regular production.
In the mean time, Pre-production has begun and the factory is currently employing 435 workers. Since GM plans to build more full-size electric vehicles there, such as the Chevrolet Silverado EV, the GMC Sierra EV and the Cadillac Escalade EV, it will need more employees in the future, up to 2,200 by the end of 2022.
Because the plant was idled, 140 previous workers have recall rights when GM starts hiring. Out of the other previous Hammtrack assembly employees, 684 transferred to other assembly plants and 130 retired before the renovations started.


GURNEE — Representatives of Auto Nation USA spent more than an hour Wednesday night trying to convince Gurnee Plan Commission members that a giant used-car dealership would have less effect on neighboring homes than an office building would.
Auto Nation's land-planning consultant Lane Kendig said his client's proposal would produce less traffic congestion than the office building the village says it would prefer.
Plan Commission Chairman Donald Rudny received applause when he told Auto Nation officials he would not want the dealership in his neighborhood. For the third time since the Auto Nation USA proposal came before the commission, Village Hall was packed with about 130 residents overwhelmingly against the proposed dealership.
The Florida-based corporation has asked the village to let it build a 1,100-vehicle dealership at the Tri-State Tollway and Grand Avenue.


Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo has stated that he has no interest in becoming Nigeria’s president.
The Shanghai Shenhua man who is currently on loan in Manchester United made this known in response to a call from a fan for him to take the mantle of leadership in Nigeria.
Ighalo responded saying: “Abeg o leave me to manage my position as Manchester United striker. I no fit Naija wahala or politics”.
Since joining United on a six-months loan, Ighalo has scored 4 goals in seven matches.
The former Super Eagles striker scored a screamer in United’s 5-0 trashing of LASK in the Europa League which was played behind closed doors.
He currently hopes his deal with the English Premier League club becomes permanent.

Arthritis is a problem that is becoming more and more common in the Australian dog population.
But what is Arthritis ?
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease. It is the cumulative effect of long term wear and tear on the joint structures, where the net effect of daily damage versus daily homoeostatic repair results in subtle long term degeneration.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (pretty rare in dogs), where the body produces auto-reactive antibodies that attack the joint structures and results in chronic long term inflammatory joint disease.
The symptoms of arthritis increase during the colder months and early signs to look for may include lagging behind on walks, limping, appearing stiff after activity and difficulty climbing stairs.
Did you know that there are natural and conventional treatments that can often assist greatly?
Having treated literally thousands of animals for arthritis, using many different treatments, I have developed a system that caters for all types of animals, and all types of arthritis.
Early Onset Arthritis
This occurs in many large breed dogs at age 5-6 +, or in dogs with a history of joint injuries, or with mild versions of early growth disorders. It can also occur in dogs on a poor diet, overweight dogs, or in highly active or working breeds.
Combined with a change to healthy raw food diet, the combination of cartilage powder and vitamin C (Joint Support powder) again works very well here. If a specific joint or leg is affected in isolation, I will also use acupuncture to stimulate healing.
Mature Age Arthritis
This is the more traditional “old dog” arthritis that affects most pets in the latter years of life. In this situation, diet change and weight loss are often important factors. As a general rule, dogs at this age are often starting to show signs of nutritional deficiency, which accompanies most degenerative changes. Often the bones have become more brittle (osteoporosis), and the arthritic changes are more advanced. Here I prefer to use my Joint Support powder. It has the benefits of the glucosamine/chondroitin sulphate, and vitamin C, but also has Flax Seed and fish oil (Omega 3), and Ginger (anti inflammatory), Dolomite (calcium and magnesium), Copper and Sulphur (mineral supplements), and Boron (mineralisation of bone). It provides ingredients for joint repair and corrects the nutritional deficiencies (micro malnutrition) that cause accelerated degeneration.
I have also found that using magnetic collars can be quite effective, especially in conjunction with the Joint Formula.

Had a laptop that broke down. I had a UE4 template that was about driving cars, one of the maps had a track that was small where there were a bunch of AI cars driving on a track suspended in the air that had inverted portions so the cars could drive upside down.
It was simple with no textures but I want to use the physics, in the map there was a jump on the ground that you could jump up in the air and land on the track and drive around on it. Anyone know what I mean? I have scoured the internet and can’t find it.

SteelSeries Announces Third ‘World of Warcraft’ MMO Mouse! SteelSeries announced the next in its line of Blizzard-licensed World of Warcraft mice, the World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse Legendary Edition. It’s a mouthful, we know. The new mouse is the follow-up to the equally lengthily-named World of Warcraft Cataclysm MMO Gaming Mouse ($99.99 direct, 3.5 stars). However, where the Cataclysm mouse takes after Deathwing, the Legendary Edition’s design is inspired by the Thunderfury sword of lore – though it looks more like it takes after cracked earth with fissures of lava running throughout.


Former Penticton Vees Joey Laleggia has been named to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) pre-season all-conference team going into his senior year at the University of Denver. The announcement was made by the NCHC and posted on the BCHL website.
LaLeggia, a 2012 Edmonton Oilers draft pick, received 19 votes from media members to earn a spot on the team. The Burnaby product is the lone other returning First-Team All-NCHC selection along with University of Miami senior forward Austin Czarnik.
The reigning NCHC Defenceman of the Year tied for the NCHC lead among blueliners in 2013-14 with 25 points and had a NCHC-best 12 goals. His 25 points on the campaign tied with Colorado College rearguard Jacob Slavin for most in the conference last season.
In 114 career games with the Vees, Laleggia racked up 33 goals and 114 assists for 147 points over two full seasons. He was named the 2011 Interior Conference Top Defenceman and MVP.


The opinion of the court was delivered by: Stengel, J.
Waterfront Renaissance Associates LLP filed a motion for leave to supplement its complaint. Subsequently, Waterfront Renaissance filed a supplement to its motion for leave to supplement its complaint.*fn1
Waterfront Renaissance seeks to add count XVI, which alleges the City of Philadelphia's Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District and plan of development regulations are unconstitutional, and seeks to supplement count III and count IV with claims of promissory estoppel and detrimental reliance based upon those same regulations. It also wants to include a claim for damages, interest, costs, and attorney fees. Waterfront Renaissance seeks to "clarify that [Waterfront Renaissance's] complaint challenges the March 2006 [o]rdinance in its entirety, including both the 65' height and the 70' width restrictions found therein."*fn2 I will grant Waterfront Renaissance's motion in part and deny it in part.
A. The Current Action and the New Ordinance In February 2007, Waterfront Renaissance commenced this action in state court. It
was removed to this court on March 15, 2007. The complaint challenged a March 2006 ordinance that extended a 65 foot height restriction to the area north of Old City, which included property owned by Waterfront Renaissance. Waterfront Renaissance amended its complaint twice.*fn3
On March 5, 2009, Councilman Frank DiCicco introduced Bill 090170-A to create a zoning overlay for the Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District. This is the area between I-95 and the Delaware River from Allegheny Avenue to Oregon Avenue. Waterfront Renaissance's site is within this overlay district. On August 17, 2009, the bill was approved. The Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District is codified at Section 14-1638 of the Philadelphia Code.*fn4
Under this ordinance, an applicant for a zoning permit in the Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District is required to submit a plan of development to the City of Philadelphia Planning Commission and the Planning Commission must approve the plan of development. The Planning Commission determines whether the plan of development is "appropriate in scale, density, character and use for the surrounding community." The
Philadelphia Code § 14-1638(12)(a). In addition, the applicant will not receive a zoning permit unless the Planning Commission determines "the requested permits are in conformity with the approved [p]lan of [d]evelopment." Id.
On April 20, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted plan of development regulations and filed the regulations with the Philadelphia Department of Records. The plan of development regulations became effective at midnight on September 27, 2010. See Notification of the Effective Date of the City's Plan of Development Regulations, CMR D.N. Corp. and Marina Towers Ltd. v. City of Philadelphia, No. 07-1045 (E.D. Pa. filed Oct. 8, 2010).
B. Waterfront Renaissance's Claims
The purpose of the Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District is "to protect the existing characteristics of the built and natural environment that are essential to achieving the working guidelines of the Civic Vision, adopted by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission . . . , while a Master Plan for the area is developed." See The Philadelphia Code at § 14-1638(1)(h); Plaintiff's Motion at Exh. 1 at ¶ 295. The Central Delaware Riverfront Overlay District requires that the regulations governing the plan of development process be objective. See The Philadelphia Code at § 14-1638(12)(a); Plaintiff's Motion at Exh. 1 at ¶ 314. The Planning Commission will review plans of development to determine whether the "development is appropriate in scale, density, character and use for the surrounding community." See The Philadelphia Code at § 14- 1638(12)(a); Plaintiff's Motion at Exh. 1 at ¶ 314. The terms "existing characteristics of the built and natural environment that are essential to achieving the working guidelines of the Civic Vision" and "appropriate in scale, density, character and use" are not defined.*fn5
Waterfront Renaissance alleges the plan of development regulations list the base zoning classification as one of a number of factors the Planning Commission will consider. See Plaintiff's Memorandum at 8; Plaintiff's Motion at Exh. 1 at ¶ 321. It maintains the regulations do not provide quantitative or qualitative standards or guidelines for evaluation of the factors, and, therefore, provide no guidance for which developments will be approved. See Plaintiff's Memorandum at 9; Motion at Exh. 1 at ¶¶ 324-25. The regulations also provide the Planning Commission "will consider any item that will have an effect or impact on this public realm." See Notice of Effective Date of the City's Plan of Development Regulations at Exh. A at § 3.
Waterfront Renaissance concludes that the regulations "place on the applicant the burden of proving that 'the [plan of development] provides for development appropriate in scale, density, character and use for the surrounding community,' without providing a complete list of submission requirements and without providing any objective standards by which an applicant may know what it is he must prove." See Plaintiff's Memorandum at 9.
If the Planning Commission does not "approve, disapprove, conditionally approve or table a proposed [p]lan of [d]evelopment within seventy-five (75) days after submission of complete plans to the Commission, the approval of the Commission shall be presumed." See Notice of Effective Date of the City's Plan of Development Regulations at Exh. A at § 6(a). Waterfront Renaissance alleges, because the Planning Commission can table ...

Five regions in the UK have now officially been announced as national drone test centres, set up to bolster commercial drone capabilities within UK communities as part of Nesta’s Flying High Challenge.
As revealed by Commercial Drone Professional yesterday, the five sites to secure a position in the scheme have access to £500,000 funding and will explore public attitudes, environmental impact, logistics and safety of drones operating in complex urban environments
Here is CDP’s guide to the five chosen locations:
Some of the earliest drone testing happened in Bradford, a city with a population of over half a million across a large district that includes densely populated urban areas, moorland, farmland and woodland. It’ll be looking at how drones can support district priorities such as flooding and community safety.
The capital has the busiest and most heavily regulated airspace in the UK, presenting unique challenges for drone deployment but with a natural flight corridor in the Thames. The city will be looking at a range of applications in support of the Mayor’s Strategies and the Healthy Streets Approach to city planning, from near-term applications such as river search and rescue to future-gazing ideas such as drone deliveries.
A small city of over 100,000 people and the main urban centre in Lancashire, is the location of the largest aerospace cluster in the UK. The city is home to the Civic Drone Centre, set up by the University of Central Lancashire in 2014 to work with local authorities, communities and businesses to support new applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Drones are already being used in Preston to support the fire service and local Environment Agency and the Council is interested in extending this to other areas such as upgrading road networks and monitoring air pollution.
One of the UK’s major port cities and interested in drone uses around port safety, blue light services and offshore logistics. The City Council is working in collaboration with the University of Southampton, which has very strong drone and autonomous systems expertise as the leader of a large consortium project called CASCADE looking at the implementation of drones in civil airspace as well as participating in the EPSRC Future Cities project from a drone perspective and the Airstart project with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI).
A large region encompassing the cities of Birmingham and Coventry, including two airports, several universities, multiple local authorities and 2.8 million residents. The city is interested in UAV use cases surrounding the UK City of Culture 2021 and Commonwealth Games 2022 events. There is a lot of work going on in the region around autonomous/semi-autonomous systems, and potential synergies for Flying High with a connected and autonomous vehicle test bed being built in the region.
From February to June 2018, the Flying High team will work closely with each city to explore potential uses of drones, develop visions that shape the future of drones in each city and identify the necessary requirements to sustainably realise these visions.
