With a considerable degree of uncertainty, a recent assessment puts the risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in European poultry at moderate for the coming season. Recent weeks have seen a tailing off in cases in commercial and captive birds, while the H5N1 virus variant continues to be detected at low levels in wild species.
In its latest assessment, the agriculture department of Northern Ireland, DAERA reports that the risk of HPAI outbreaks in poultry for the coming winter is "moderate." This is based on the recent and imminent arrival of wild birds from areas of known infection. Exacerbating the situation is an unusually high number of cases in wild birds during the summer — in both resident species and summer visitors — as well as weather conditions likely to be more favorable to virus survival.
As a result, DAERA is warning Northern Ireland’s poultry owners to be alert for signs of disease in their birds. Furthermore, the department stresses the importance of consistently maintaining high biosecurity around all domestic flocks.
Other options for disease control in poultry are limited until an effective vaccine is authorized and becomes available on the market.
Recently, the Dutch government announced that field trials have begun on potential vaccine candidates. However, the testing phase alone is likely to last for two years, and so biosecurity will remain the mainstay of HPAI control in the foreseeable future.
Disease situation stable in Europe’s domestic birds
Since the start of 2023, there have been 385 outbreaks of HPAI in commercial poultry in 21 European Union (EU) member states and neighboring countries. This is according to the Animal Disease Information System by the European Commission (EC; dated September 22). The totals are unchanged from the previous update to September 8.
This source includes two regions not belonging to the continent of Europe. Totals include two outbreaks in Turkey (Tűrkiye) as well as one in the French overseas territory of Reunion, located in the western Indian Ocean.
No new outbreaks in commercial birds have been reported to the agency since July 27. Of the EC’s total, the country with the most outbreaks — now with 152 — is France. Next come Hungary with 79 outbreaks to date.
For comparison, 24 nations registered a total of 2,321 outbreaks in poultry through this system during 2022.
Among captive birds, 13 countries have together registered a total of 87 outbreaks of HPAI in captive birds through the EC’s system (to September 22). This category covers backyard poultry, zoos and similar premises.
Although the situation in this group had not changed since July 10, one outbreak has now been confirmed this month in Slovenia.
Recording the most outbreaks in this category has been France (with a total of 30), followed by Germany (29), and Belgium (11). Each of the other 10 nations in the regions has registered between and four outbreaks.
The EC System does not publish information on the HPAI situation in the United Kingdom (U.K.; with the exception on Northern Ireland).
However, earlier this month, two outbreaks linked to the H5N1 serotype of the HPAI virus occurred in Scotland. Affected were flocks of eight and 18 chickens in non-commercial flocks on the Shetland Islands and Isle of Lewis, respectively, according to notifications to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).
Earlier this week, a further outbreak linked to the H5N1 virus serotype was confirmed in poultry on the Isle of Lewis by the Scottish government.
Further HPAI in wild species in Europe
Over the period September 8-22, 11 European states notified the EC about one or more cases of HPAI in their respective wild bird populations.
Up to the latter date, a total of 3,292 outbreaks had been registered in 27 states of the EU member and adjacent states, according to the EC System.
For comparison, the totals for calendar year 2022 were 33 nations, and 3,245 outbreaks.
In 2023, Germany continues to be the state with the most outbreaks (1,059 for the year to date), followed by France (403), and the Netherlands (375). These nations registered a few new cases with the EC since the previous report update dated September 8, along with Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, and Sweden.
To WOAH, the authority in the U.K. has recorded one further infection in a wild bird.

Open tunings improve the intonation of major chords by reducing the error of third intervals in equal temperaments. For example, in the open-G overtones tuning G-G-D-G-B-D, the (G,B) interval is a major third, and of course each successive pair of notes on the G- and B-strings is also a major third; similarly, the open-string minor-third (B,D) induces minor thirds among all the frets of the B-D strings. The thirds of equal temperament have audible deviations from the thirds of just intonation: Equal temperaments is used in modern music because it facilitates music in all keys, while (on a piano and other instruments) just intonation provided better-sounding major-third intervals for only a subset of keys. "Sonny Landreth, Keith Richards and other open-G masters often lower the second string slightly so the major third is in tune with the overtone series. This adjustment dials out the dissonance, and makes those big one-finger major-chords come alive."
Certain guitar brands are renowned and respected worldwide, and you don't have to be a player to be aware of them. Companies like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, Yamaha and many others have built a solid reputation for providing exceptionally crafted guitars. In fact, these names are consistently endorsed by the greatest players of all time. However, you'll find more than enough guitar brands from lesser known manufacturers as well; these smaller companies take enormous pride in offering models of equally extraordinary playability, tone and construction.
In acoustic guitars, string vibration is transmitted through the bridge and saddle to the body via sound board. The sound board is typically made of tone woods such as spruce or cedar. Timbers for tone woods are chosen for both strength and ability to transfer mechanical energy from the strings to the air within the guitar body. Sound is further shaped by the characteristics of the guitar body's resonant cavity. In expensive instruments, the entire body is made of wood. In inexpensive instruments, the back may be made of plastic.

I bought this because I wanted to learn more AC/DC songs note for note as they're fun and not overly complicated. This book doesn't disappoint. With the little time I've had to practice so far, this book's been a great help, and for a lot cheaper than most song books. For best accuracy it helps to listen to the songs too. My only gripe is "Have a Drink on Me" isn't included.
I think for all parties, if we had the ability to send a "two day backstage pass" (you can use that), where we can send a friend a link and they could try the sight for free but couldn't submit videos. I have a few friends that I keep trying to sell them on but they just are not totally sold and I think it's because the beauty of this site is the personalized VE's are. The interaction between student and teacher is what really makes this magical and it's really hard to describe. The search feature could be a little better, more precise and sometimes it finds no VE hits on simple searches like street. Otherwise I am one of your biggest fans.
On the other hand, some chords are more difficult to play in a regular tuning than in standard tuning. It can be difficult to play conventional chords especially in augmented-fourths tuning and all-fifths tuning, in which the large spacings require hand stretching. Some chords, which are conventional in folk music, are difficult to play even in all-fourths and major-thirds tunings, which do not require more hand-stretching than standard tuning.
The saddle of a guitar refers to the part of the bridge that physically supports the strings. It may be one piece (typically on acoustic guitars) or separate pieces, one for each string (electric guitars and basses). The saddle's basic purpose is to provide the end point for the string's vibration at the correct location for proper intonation, and on acoustic guitars to transfer the vibrations through the bridge into the top wood of the guitar. Saddles are typically made of plastic or bone for acoustic guitars, though synthetics and some exotic animal tooth variations (e.g. fossilized tooth, ivory, etc. ) have become popular with some players. Electric guitar saddles are typically metal, though some synthetic saddles are available.
Open tuning refers to a guitar tuned so that strumming the open strings produces a chord, typically a major chord. The base chord consists of at least 3 notes and may include all the strings or a subset. The tuning is named for the open chord, Open D, open G, and open A are popular tunings. All similar chords in the chromatic scale can then be played by barring a single fret. Open tunings are common in blues and folk music, and they are used in the playing of slide and bottleneck guitars. Many musicians use open tunings when playing slide guitar.
Of course, there are a few ways to narrow down the string options. For starters, since guitars come in different scales, you need a set that's the right length for your instrument. You also need to match the type of guitar: electric strings for an electric guitar, acoustic strings for acoustic. If you play an acoustic-electric, you'll usually be looking for acoustic strings since those instruments use non-magnetic pickups. For classical and Latin guitar types directly descended from ancient gut-stringed instruments, the right strings are generally going to be nylon.

ATHENS — "The outbreak of the 'Delta' mutation, which is also observed in Greece and mainly affects the unvaccinated, creates the obligation for the state to react. There is a portion of people who insist on not being vaccinated. Opinions are based on things that can not be accepted, neither by science, nor by the majority of citizens, nor by the government. Given, therefore, that this is dangerous both for themselves, for their health, and for the people they associate with, but also for the whole of social life and the economy, the government cannot remain inactive," government spokesperson Yiannis Oikonomou said on Tuesday in an interview with Mega TV.
"Everyone's choices come at a cost. The purpose is for everyone to understand that the state can provide resources, forces and energy up to a certain point in order to convince them. From the first moment the pandemic broke out, the state reacted immediately. We took sanitary measures, we proceeded to make significant changes in the National Health Service, we also have the vaccine. Today, we can vaccinate whoever wants to be vaccinated with the vaccine of their choice, and effectively the location of their choice, that is, the vaccination can also be done at home", the government spokesperson added.
Regarding the course of the vaccination, he said that the vaccination flow has improved a lot, compared to what we saw in mid-August. "From two or three thousand appointments a day, we have reached 15,000 to 20,000 appointments a day. We will not stop motivating people to get vaccinated," he said.
He further added that the vast majority of medical staff have been vaccinated. "There are people in the health sector who really refuse to be vaccinated and in the context of ethics or scientific documentation, medical associations are also concerned," he added.

Wow, what can I say? This year’s Cree’s Feeding the Homeless for Thanksgiving went so well. It was an amazing day for all of us. We fed 50 people this Thanksgiving and next year its going to be even bigger. So many of my family and friends got involved, they donated food, money, time and their support for my second annual. I can even explain the looks on their faces when we arrived. It get dark here in Detroit about 5ish and we had just missed the day light. They were so happy that we thought of them, and they were so Thankful and grateful. I wish that we had more to give that day, but Im going to take one year at a time. We drove around downtown Detroit, and it wasnt hard at all to find 50 people. The homeless shelters are over crowded and people were sleeping on the streets. They had lots to eat, drink, and munch on when we were done with them. I wanted to take photos, but it was not the right time to do that. The atmosphere wasnt right at all. I would love to do this at least 2 times a month.
This is my dream to this for them. I have had this on my heart for so many years. People think Im crazy when I say I want to sleep outside for a night with them, to listen to their stories and testimonies of their life. I rather be around then any day than to deal with the people who have money that come through my line. These homeless people appreciate things, they are grateful. If people can look into my heart and into my mind they would understand why feel the way I do. Feeding the homeless, working with the young gurls/kids/ and assisting the seniors this IS MY LIFE. I do want to do anything else!!! I love to travel, and fly, and spend time with my self, daughter, friends, family. This is who I am in this life. Helping people. I live good, I eat good, I have money to go shopping and buy nic nacks, my home is nice, I am truly blessed. Im not complete unless Im helping someone else. Giving is the best thing you could ever do. I use to be selfish and people would tell me this all the time. I hated to hear this, but I felt that if I keep giving then I want have anything. That is sooooooooooooooooo not true. I have more, and more to share.
This Christmas, I’m feeding the seniors at my dad’s Senior building. I told him to gather at least 10 people, and Im bringing them all a plate of GOOD FOOD!!!

Prior to the Great Recession, there was an ambitious plan for the current Northgate property in NW Medford. It included a mix of housing, big box retail, and smaller boutique style shopping. But once the markets plummeted around 2008, plans where put on hold.
As the country eventually dug out of the lows of that era, a new updated model of Northgate was designed. Gone were the housing and many small aspects which made up the entirety of its style and design. Replaced by big box stores and a more traditional regional shopping layout.
The current Northgate Marketplace was constructed in two phases, several years apart. The 250k+ sqft outdoor mall boasts major retailers and restaurants, but no housing.
But if developers have their way, that would change soon.
Creations Northwest, submitted initial plans to discuss a proposal to build approximately 350 multi-family residential units with an approximate square footage of 308,000 square feet. This project is expected to be market-rate housing at this time.
This is a look at what the developers have in store for the site. The plans are for a two phase construction approach. Phase I would roughly border E. McAndrews to the south, and Court to the east. It would be the larger of the two phases and consist of approximately 204 units and the clubhouse along with courts and a playground. Phase II would be west of Phase I, and would take up all the remaining land area. That phase would see 168 units built and a second playground as well.
The project is currently being called “Northgate Apartments.” No design or construction details are available at this time. As this project moves forward, we will continue to update.

Royal Thai Air Force Pilatus PC-6/AU-23A Peacemaker plane crash-landed in Khlong Hoi Khong district, 3 Injured
The pilot made a forced landing in a field after engine failure. The vintage military plane sustained substantial damage. The three occupants suffered minor injuries.
Note: the RTAF serial is JTh2-20/19 with tailnumber 42079.
Two air force pilots and a mechanic were slightly injured when their old AU-23 Peacemaker crash-landed in Khlong Hoi Khong district around noon on Tuesday.
RTAF spokesman AM Pongsak Semachai said the single-engine plane took off from the 9th ad hoc air force command in Pattani province at 11.56am, heading for Wing 56 in Khlong Hoi Khong.
It suffered an engine problem as it was approaching Wing 56 and the pilot made a hard, forced landing in the grounds of Wat Bang Sala in tambon Ban Phru of Khlong Hoi Khong.
The three crew were slightly injured and taken to a local hospital, said AM Pongsak, also director of civil affairs.
The air force received the AU-23 Peacemaker gunship, a utility transport plane, from the United States in 1972.
The US used a small fleet of the modified Peacemaker, originally a single-engine Pilatus PC-6 Porter built in Switzerland, for counter-insurgency missions during the Vietnam war.
All were later sold to the Royal Thai Air Force.

The County Clerks office is very small. You need to have a good idea of what records you are looking for before you get there. The first time I visited, I focused on Wills and marriages. They have an index and can make you copies of any pages in the will book. (You are not allowed to make your own copies, a clerk has to do it for you. I don't remember how much it is per page, but it's around 25 cents a page - I spend a small fortune every time I go).
The Clerks office also has marriage records. They have an index and they have original documents on file. My great-grandmother's marriage license was on file from 1900 - they made me a copy - and the favor I did for someone else on this forum, I found handwritten statements from the groom and the brides father from even earlier.
I am African-American and I was interested in slave records. When I asked the clerk about Manumission records (slaves who were freed) they did not know anything about them. I learned later that everything is filed in the Deed Books. When a slave is freed, it was called a "Deed of Emancipation"...slaves were property, right??!!
So the next time I visited, I looked in the Deed books. The Deed books go back to the late 1700's through about the 1940's, I think. You need to have a name to look up. There are two indexes. One is for the Grantees and one is for the Grantors. You need to look for your family name in both indexes - different items come up.
My family name is Harrison. I looked at every listing for a Harrison and copied down the ones that I was sure were related to me. I looked up as many as I could, but I wasn't able to look for them all. I chose the ones that I thought would give me the most information. (There are other names, of course and I did get a chance to look up some of them also. Wingo is one of the names in my extended family.)
I found the Emancipation record, when my ancestor was given her freedom. The index specifically indicated that the grantee was "slave" and the subject of the transaction was "emancipation". The Grantor was my Harrison ancestor. At the time, she had two children and they were freed at the same time, so I got more information.
There was another listing that was for a bond. One of my ancestors was appointed Constable for Giles county and a bond had to be posted. Several other relatives are identified.
I don't want to bore you, I'm just trying to make the point that you should at least preview each record through the index because you never know what information you can find about your family. In one record, an Aunt is leaving stuff to her niece and she identifies both of her parents, names I needed to help fill in my family tree!!!
I did not have the opportunity to go to the Historical Society...poor timing. You should check the dates and times that they are open. It was a limited schedule and it closed earlier than I had thought. They may have additional information.
There are two books that my family purchased on one of our trips to Amelia. One lists people buried in the cemetaries in Amelia. I think the book is simply called "Cemetaries in Amelia County Virginia." There is also a History of Amelia County that was prepared by the historical society and is also a very good reference book for Amelia.
Hope this information is helpful and that you have a successful research trip.

Warning: I am about to go political,
There are so many things wrong with this whole Ferguson mess, I really don’t know where to start. Here are just a few of them in no particular order.
Justice Served (or not): I have to wonder why we even have a justice system in this country when it appears that the rules are now that whenever a criminal jury or a grand jury makes a decision contrary to the one the people believe to be “right” those who believe they have been wronged can now loot and burn at will. Whether or not I agree with the grand jury’s decision, and not I did not use the word verdict as it isn’t a verdict, I applaud them for having the courage to do what they were asked to do, come up with what they believe was the right decision. Even though they more than likely knew the consequences if they didn’t indict Officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, they decided they didn’t have enough evidence or clear evidence for an indictment. They weren’t intimidated by those who were calling for justice or else.
Racism (or not): Let’s turn this whole case around. What if this was a black cop shooting a white kid, it happens. Would there be violence, would there be riots? Would it even make the mainstream media news? No. Why? Because for whatever reason, the media isn’t interested in talking about that because it doesn’t fit with their racism narrative, the one that has been fed to them by the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world, where all blacks are held down by the white man. First, I will say that, yes, there is racism in America, and it shouldn’t be tolerated. But when is racism actually racism? Why can’t this be a case where a young man went after police officer like the evidence suggests and the cop felt his or someone else’s life was being threatened? It really does happen where police officers are attacked, and sometimes even killed by unarmed people.
And let’s go back to people like Al Sharpton et. al. Have they really advanced the causes of blacks in America? Do they really think the unemployment rate among young blacks is okay? Do they truly believe that the crime rate among blacks is higher that that of whites is because the white police are just picking on them? When will they address the problem of “black on black” crime and the fat that the murder rate in that group is through the roof? Have you been to Detroit lately?
Fair Media coverage (or not):Then there is the question of whether the media coverage is fair or actually adding fuel to the fire (pun intended). Here is one example: A blog post by Laura Turner. First. let me say that this blog was edited from it’s original publishing. The first line read used the word “murderer” instead of “killer”, why? Could it be that she decided she should tone down the language as murderer is more inciteful than killer? For some reason she also removed a remark in the first paragraph about the murderer walking away with a large sum of money. But let’s leave that alone, instead let’s look at one more biased statement Ms. Turner makes.
If you haven’t heard by now, black Americans have to go to sleep another night in fear for their lives, reassured that walking in the street may be reason enough to be gunned down by the people who are meant to protect them.
What about all the citizens of Ferguson, white and black, who can’t leave their houses for fear of the mob violence that is now occurring? What about the business owners who have had their businesses (and possibly their lives) destroyed by the mob violence? Why doesn’t Turner talk about them?
Finally, what should we as Christians do? Should we be the “first to mourn” as Turner suggests? Should we ignore the fact that the justice system works as it is intended? Should we believe her when she states that the system is “always broken?” I think not.
Should we work to fix things – absolutely. But let me leave you with this question:Is violence going to fix it or just make it worse? Think about it. More to come…

By Jessica Irvine
A DECISION by the Federal Government to abolish tax lurks on non-forestry managed investment schemes has sent shares in the companies promoting them plummet.
Shares in Timbercorp, a major investor in olive, eucalypt, almond and avocado plantations, tumbled 28 per cent.
Shares in Great Southern Plantations plunged by 13 per cent.
The scheme, which allowed investors to claim generous upfront tax deductions on their investment, has been criticised for encouraging a speculative boom in plantations.
This in turn had enabled managing firms to skim millions of dollars in fees and charges, while delivering less than impressive returns.
But Timbercorp chief executive Robert Hance lashed out at the Government yesterday, saying it had failed to consult "in any meaningful way". He also called for transitional relief.
"It would be irresponsible for the Howard Government to sit on its hands and starve rural and regional Australia of investment during the worst drought in living memory," Mr Hance said.
Liberal backbenchers also reacted angrily to the decision, which could see a voter backlash in Coalition seats that are home to the tax-preferred plantations.
About a dozen backbenchers confronted the Assistant Treasurer, Peter Dutton, and Agriculture Minister Peter McGauran during a fiery meeting in Canberra yesterday morning.
Liberal backbencher Wilson Tuckey, who oversaw the introduction of the schemes as forestry minister, described the decision as "stupid" and criticised the Government for not consulting with MPs.
"The decision was wrong, but the process was dreadful," Mr Tuckey said.
But West Australian Liberal MP Geoff Prosser supported the removal of the tax lurks, which he said distorted prices and hurt traditional farmers.
"It was a tax break to what I term passive investment," he said. "The amount of fees and charges is astronomical."
Initially designed to promote timber plantations, which carry environmental benefits, it had been seized upon by investors and "spread like wildfire" to other types of plantations, Mr Prosser said.
The changes will take effect from July this year on all non-forestry plantations, but the tax breaks will be retained for timber plantations.
Australia's largest olive company, Boundary Bend, claimed yesterday it had already retrenched 11 staff members because of the changes in tax treatment, and the company expected to cull a significant proportion more of its 115 full-time staff.

ESHAAN Continues To Impress With The New Single, ‘Simulation’
Western Sydney/Eora-raised artist ESHAAN recently won us over with his incredible debut single, Back To The Future; today, the super young talent has returned with a fantastic follow-up single, Simulation.
With some deep and impressive modern-day production, ESHAAN shines bright on this one, showcasing his uber talents across the track and delivering a pop track that ticks every box. He has a real knack for writing music and lyrics well beyond his years.
“Life always provides different routes and possibilities that could lead anywhere. ‘Simulation’ illustrates those endless possibilities, and though those routes have an end, it’s often just the beginning of something new, a checkpoint more than an end. This checkpoint often resets us and leaves us to repeat a similar journey but with different elements within our own state of mind, physical state and what surrounds us. This song questions the control we have over these journeys, bringing fate and the idea of a higher spiritual power to the forefront.” – ESHAAN.
With two very impressive singles under his belt, we know this kid is onto something rather significant. ESHAAN’s new single, Simulation, is available now, everywhere.

Evanna Lynch is warm, grounded, bright – a bit dreamy, arty – and very likeable. She is a reflection of her character Luna Lovegood in many ways, including her affinity with animals and her passion for spreading positivity and kindness. But her connection with Luna doesn’t end there. In an interview with Viva!, Evanna spoke about her admiration for Luna:
“Luna was such an outsider – odd – and so she was bullied. What I loved about her was that she was weird but wore it lightly, not defiantly, and didn’t try to change herself. She was just perfect at ‘being’. I felt out of place, too, but I was hiding from it, self-critical rather than embracing who I am. The most beautiful thing about Luna’s character is that she was completely natural!”
Evanna then spoke candidly about how veganism has changed her life for the better:
“I was always a vegan in the making but it wasn’t nurtured so it took me a long while to make the connection. I went vegetarian because I was viscerally repelled by the idea of eating animals and didn’t want someone to kill them for me. But I was in cloud cuckoo land with dairy and ice-cream, believing cows were having a grand old time.”
You can also watch our Q&A with Evanna Lynch from Viva!'s 25th anniversary festival. Our supporters sent in questions for Evanna, which were asked by Viva!'s founder and director, Juliet Gellatley.

There are millions of Americans that are a lot smarter than the house-broken economists and media airheads who keep bloviating about “transitory” and “temporary” inflation. From Wolf Richter at wolfstreet.com:
And those who experienced the 1970s & 1980s inflation as adults expect 6.0% inflation a year from now.
The Fed keeps discussing consumer inflation expectations as one of the key metrics in assessing the path of inflation in the coming years. Inflation expectations suggest to what extent consumers might be willing to accept price increases, thereby enabling inflation. Consumer price inflation is thought to be in part a psychological phenomenon, similar to market prices. When the inflationary mindset takes over, consumers accept higher prices instead of going on buyers’ strike as they infamously did with new cars in 2008 through 2013, when demand collapsed and stayed down for years.
Consumers’ median inflation expectations for one year from now jumped to 5.2% in August (red line), the highest in the survey data going back to 2013, and the 10th monthly increase in a row, according to the New York Fed’s Survey of Consumer Expectations today. The survey also tracks consumers’ expectations of their earnings growth. And that combo became a hoot (more on that in a moment).
Inflation expectations for three years from now jumped to 4.0% (green line), the highest in the survey data. People are starting to blow off the Fed’s endless sermons about this inflation being “temporary” or “transitory.”

Conformity vs. Individuality - Brainwashing & Majority Rules
2010 01 11
Asch conformity experiments
The Asch conformity experiments were a series of studies published in the 1950s that demonstrated the power of conformity in groups. These are also known as the "Asch Paradigm".
Experiments led by Solomon Asch asked groups of students to participate in a "vision test." In reality, all but one of the participants were confederates of the experimenter, and the study was really about how the remaining student would react to the confederates' behavior.
In the basic Asch paradigm, the participants — the real subject and the confederates — were all seated in a classroom. They were asked a variety of questions about the lines such as how long is A, compare the length of A to an everyday object, which line was longer than the other, which lines were the same length, etc. The group was told to announce their answers to each question out loud. The confederates always provided their answers before the study participant, and always gave the same answer as each other. They answered a few questions correctly but eventually began providing incorrect responses.
In a control group, with no pressure to conform to an erroneous view, only one subject out of 35 ever gave an incorrect answer. Solomon Asch hypothesized that the majority of people would not conform to something obviously wrong; however, when surrounded by individuals all voicing an incorrect answer, participants provided incorrect responses on a high proportion of the questions (32%). Seventy-five percent of the participants gave an incorrect answer to at least one question.
Variations of the basic paradigm tested how many confederates were necessary to induce conformity, examining the influence of just 1 confederate and as many as 15 confederates. Results indicate that 1 confederate has virtually no influence and 2 confederates have only a small influence. When 3 or more confederates are present, the tendency to conform is relatively stable.
The unanimity of the confederates has also been varied. When the confederates are not unanimous in their judgment, even if only 1 confederate voices a different opinion, participants are much more likely to resist the urge to conform than when the confederates all agree. This finding illuminates the power that even a small dissenting minority can have. Interestingly, this finding holds whether or not the dissenting confederate gives the correct answer. As long as the dissenting confederate gives an answer that is different from the majority, participants are more likely to give the correct answer.
One difference between the Asch conformity experiments and the Milgram experiment as carried out by Stanley Milgram (also famous in social psychology) is that the subjects of these studies attributed their performance to their own misjudgment and "poor eyesight", while those in the Milgram experiment blamed the experimenter in explaining their behavior. Conformity may be much less salient than authority pressure.
The Asch experiments may provide some vivid empirical evidence relevant to some of the ideas raised in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (see 2 + 2 = 5). This also helps illustrate the concept of "point at a deer and call it a horse" that was made infamous by Zhao Gao.

Taking part is everything during Switzerland’s largest running event
The number of participants at the Bern Grand Prix has been increasing steadily. No surprise, as the event is unparalleled, despite the fact that it is impossible to predict who will be in the lead.
Labelled by many as the world’s most beautiful ten miles, the Bern Grand Prix can undoubtedly impress with its unique backdrop. Not only the runners give it everything on their way to the finishing line, but also Bern presents itself in the best possible and most exciting light. When passing the country’s capital, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bear Pit, Zytglogge clock tower, river Aare and other landmarks, the race almost fades into the background. But only almost!
Different Grands Prix for young and old
Runners are supported and motivated by their cheering families, fans and friends all around the track. In the background, bands entertain runners and spectators alike and create a suitable atmosphere for the sporting event. After a deceptively easy start, the first difficult test is around the corner. At the beginning, the course leads the runners downhill to the Old Town, where the first ascent is waiting. The race for the professional runners is, however, not the only challenge on offer. The Old Town and Bear Grand Prix are the perfect running events for less experienced runners as well as children and young people. The Golden Runners are in particular worth mentioning. They have participated at the Grand Prix 30 times in a row and have thus earned their name as Golden Runners in the history of the Grand Prix.gpbern.ch

Copied from Topix.com "Is AVRCD president paranoid?"
Tuesday Mar 9
Is it true that President Burr accused people of �stalking� her because they revealed her �undertable� Dust Buster meetings on the internet. Did pres. Burr really state that �stalking� was the only way the �stalker� could discover the meetings because the public did not know about the meeting?
Did Pres. Burr really call the police say that she called the police about the stalking?
Was this at the 2-24-10 AVRCD meeting?
Did Pres. Burr ever consider that maybe the other director�s talk too much.
Tuesday Mar 9
It is extremely hard to miss a TALL slender good looking woman walking with a crowd of men at a well known restaurant. Sounds a little paranoid.
Friday Mar 12
I know this woman and she stands out in a crowd like a French Model.
You can't miss her, she's not being stalked she's to good looking to be able to hide in a crowd much less than a restaurant.

you bet your bippy she is. Did you hear about the last meeting?

April 2008 the financial's given out at the meeting stated the AVRCD gave $25,000 to Catalina Conservancy, it was paid or given to the Conservancy (Catalina Conservancy is supported by the Wriggly Foundation and has millions of dollars at its disposal)
None has showed ever up as being repaid or paid on,in the financial reports given out at all meetings for the last 2 years or being given back.
Who cashed the check??
Buurrrppp refuses to allow any conversation or questions on the subject and won't allow inspection of the checks.
A month or two latter there was a check written to Pacific Palisades Conservancy (another very well off Conservancy) for somewhere around about $9,000 and nothing shows in the records passed out at all meetings of any being paid back or who cashed the check.
Now in other posts that Ms. pres has made (2thelosers, idiots etc.) she states that we are snivelers and wieners, HELL yes you are squandering my tax dollars and I don't like it.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio commended President Obama for coming to Congress with a request for limited authorization to fight ISIS, but said Thursday he needs every available power.
“I think it should be a pretty straight forward authorization,” Rubio said on the Senate floor. “It should say, ‘We authorize the president of the United States to destroy ISIL, to defeat them militarily.”
“I have very serious concerns and very serious reservations about our current strategy when it comes to ISIS,” he added. “I’m not sure it’s sufficient. I think it’s a strategy that will contain them, but it will not defeat them.”
Obama’s war proposal to fight ISIS has met with bipartisan criticism. Democrats worry the AUMF gives the president too much power, and could lead the country into another drawn out war. But Republicans, such as Rubio, say the AUMF doesn’t give the president enough power.
“We thank him for submitting one, but now it’s the job of the senate to write one of its own, and it may reflect many of the things the president wants,” Rubio added. “But what I believe it should reflect more than anything else is that we authorize him to defeat ISIS no matter what it takes, and no matter how long it takes.”
The war proposal would limit the president’s power in an unprecedented way, banning “enduring offensive ground combat operations” and restricting the use of power to three years.
Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch called the proposal “utterly stupid.”
“And here we have the president coming up with this — I think it’s utterly stupid — proposal,” Hatch said in a radio interview reported by The Hill. “And he’s binding the next president also with really stupid language.”
“Any president worth his or her salt is going to ask for as much authority as they can get, so at least the ISIS people know that he has the authority to come in on them anyway he wants to.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi admitted her members aren’t excited about the proposal, and said it will be “hard” to pass any version of an AUMF.
“I don’t ever remember a president sending legislation to the Congress to limit his power as commander in chief, so I think the administration has to be commended for that,” she said. “And we have to be commended for exercising our independent judgment … This is a very personal decision that people have to make.”

19-inch rainfall raising havoc in China
BEIJING — At least 56 people were killed and another 22 people were reported missing as heavy rain continues to pummel southern China, flooding towns, cutting off power and halting traffic, China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs said Tuesday.
As much as 19 inches of rain has fallen on several cities since Thursday, including the scenic resort city of Guilin in the Guangxi region, the ministry said.
More than 11 million people in 11 southern provinces were affected by floods, landslides and hailstorms, the ministry said. Rivers have broken their banks, inundating surrounding communities.
The ministry said water levels in major rivers and lakes in the southern province of Hunan have surged to alarming levels, and that the collapse of levees forced largescale evacuations.
Dozens of flights at several airports serving major cities in the region were canceled or delayed, stranding thousands of travelers.
Trains also were halted, and roads were cut off to many towns and villages in the region. The national meteorological center forecast more rain in southern China.

NHTSA Considering Rolling Back Regulations on Mandatory Steering Wheels, Brake Pedals
Self-driving vehicles are increasingly moving out of the realm of science fiction and becoming an inevitable step forward in the evolution of the automotive industry. In order for autonomous vehicles to well and truly become a thing, however, regulation is necessary–both in terms of creation and elimination.
Automotive News reports that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is mulling over the regulations that currently prohibit vehicles that do not feature essential components including steering wheels and brake pedals.
Per the “Report on DOT Significant Rulemakings,” posted to Transportation.gov:
The National Highway Traffic-Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks comments to identify any unnecessary regulatory barriers to Automated Safety Technologies, and for the testing and compliance certification of motor vehicles with unconventional automated vehicles designs, particularly those that are not equipped with controls for a human driver; e.g., steering wheel, brake or accelerator pedal. Further, NHTSA seeks comments on the research that would be required to remove such barriers. This action will inform subsequent steps in the regulatory process to amend Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and other motor vehicle regulations in order to safely lay a path for innovative automated vehicle designs and technology.
The removal of components such as steering wheels and brake pedals is seen as being vital to the development of no-intervention self-driving vehicles, particularly those that will be manufactured to provide more of a lounge experience than that of a traditional driving experience.
In an effort to comply with established regulations, Ford, for example, is moving to patent removable steering wheel and brake pedal apparatuses. These regulations, Auto News notes, go back to the 1960s.
The NHTSA’s initiative was launched on September 20th, which followed the Transportation Department’s released voluntary safety guidelines for autonomous vehicle developers. Comment from developers and automakers on the matter will be collected until January 31st, 2018.
The News Wheel is a digital auto magazine providing readers with a fresh perspective on the latest car news. We’re located in the heart of America (Dayton, Ohio) and our goal is to deliver an entertaining and informative perspective on what’s trending in the automotive world.

National Charter Schools Week
May 5th - 9th
New School Resources
Deadline for Application
July 1st at noon
New Dates Coming Soon
Advocacy in Action
Communications, Policy Development, and Advocacy
Studies have been clear that the quality of a state’s charter school law is a critically important factor in the success of public charter schools. High quality public charter schools cannot flourish in a state without robust communications and advocacy efforts focused on their unique needs as autonomous, innovative schools.
The most important public charter school advocacy you can do is to tell the real stories of highly effective public charter schools in your community.
Invite community leaders, decision makers, and stakeholders to visit public charter schools where great academic achievement is taking place.
New National Rankings Find South Carolina Charter School Laws Rank 15th in Nation

The National Alliance for Public Schools is pleased to release Free to Succeed: Public Charter Schools and the Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This paper, based on interviews and discussions with prominent public charter school stakeholders, outlines the key priorities of the charter school sector as Congress gears up for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
In order for the public charter sector to grow and continue to produce results through innovation, the National Alliance believes that the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) should significantly expand support for both the creation of new charter schools and the replication and expansion of successful charter schools. At the same time, ESEA reauthorization presents an opportunity to encourage innovation on a national scale, and to roll back encroachment on charter school freedoms that threaten to stifle student outcomes.
Unlike the last time reauthorization took place in 2001, public charter schools are no longer an educational experiment: it is a 20-year-old sector that, according to the most recent research, is improving educational outcomes across the country. A reauthorized ESEA needs to ensure that federal funds for charter schools encourage the creation of high-quality schools, while at the same time, protect the freedom of charters to innovate by making the following changes:
We look forward to working with the charter school community on these proposals.

After being published in the April issue of Harper’s BAZAAR China, the Spring-Summer 2011 Haute Couture editorial shot in the magnificent decor of Le Bristol Palace Hotel in Paris with model Marlena Szoka lensed by Benjamin Kanarek has also been published in Harper’s BAZAAR en Español, May 2011 Issue.
In an absolutely ethereal atmosphere, Marlena wears these amazing Haute Couture looks from the Spring Summer 2011 Collections of established Couture Houses the likes of, Gaultier Paris by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal, Chanel Haute Couture by Karl Lagerfeld, Elie Saab Haute Couture, Alexandre Vauthier Couture, the last Dior Haute Couture Collection by John Galliano, Armani Privé by Giorgio Armani, Valentino Haute Couture by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci.
A New Generation of Couturiers
This new publication reveals 3 bonus images featuring 3 fashion designers of the New Generation. There is an interesting twist in what they have on offer, their use of silver and metal in their outfits, which were all selected by the young and dynamic Japanese fashion editor, Sohei Yoshida. These designs are in stark contrast to the soft billowy mist surrounding Marlena Szoka.
The 26 year old French Fashion Designer, considers his Collection Semi-Couture (an intermediate category between Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear) as the prototypes are not tailored made for the client, but are available in different sizes. Nonetheless, his craftsmanship featuring the “à la Française Know-How” gave him the privilege to be invited during the official Schedule of the The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. For his first “Haute Couture” show, he gave his own interpretation of French Queen Marie-Antoinette’s slice of life (no pun intended).
The chain dress is one the master pieces of his collection that needed more than 300 hours of work and weighs more than 35kg. It represents Maxime Simoëns vision of Marie-Antoinette as a prisoner in La Conciergerie waiting for her judgment and execution.
Since 2007, Jantaminiau, from Dutch Designer Jan Taminiau, has showed his collection twice a year in Paris during Couture fashion week. Surrounded and inspired by antique dealers, decorators and interior designers, Jan’s Collections are a combination of artisan techniques and a constant experimentation with forms, shapes and fabrics.
Marlena is waving in a silver and gold sequins embroidered jumpsuit and full pearl grey chiffon over-coat perched on extremely high pumps inspired from Japanese Ippon-ba Geta and Chopine platform shoes worn in Venice in the 15th Century.
“Couture has nothing to do with reality or being wearable. It is about free imagination and the extraordinary…
In my quest for the perfect fit I pursue new shapes and unconventional techniques. By weaving and interweaving fabrics, I enable a natural form to emerge which highlights character from the wearer.”
Is a duet of two Bulgarian Fashion Designers: Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov, primarily Accessory Designers for Couture Houses like Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Givenchy. They founded “On Aura Tout Vu” that is a French expression meaning “You think you’ve seen it all” with André de Sà Pessoa, from Portugal, who passed away in 2005. Since 2002, On Aura Tout Vu presents its own Haute Couture Collection in Paris as Invited Member of the Fédération Française de la Couture.
Their Spring-Summer 2011 Collection takes us in a “Kingdom of dreams where the bodies of the fairy queens are covered with a thousand sets of jewels that shine with a fiery glow.” Marlena embodies the LadyBird in this spectacular outfit mixing Haute Couture and silversmith craftsmanship with its leggings and body entirely embroidered and topped by feathers carved in a metal cartwheel ruff which has already been purchased by the only other LadyBird: Lady Gaga herself !

Each Friday, students who earned "Fun Friday" get to celebrate by having some kind of fun activity in the classroom. Others go to study hall. I am halfway through the year and trying to come up with something fun and fresh for my kids. I don't mind spending up to $10-15 to have a good time! Here are some examples of things I've done thus far: - Games & Grub - students can bring a snack of their choice and handheld game and we just listen to music and eat/play - Minute To Win It games - movie and popcorn - extra recess - Wii games - I set up two big TVs with Wiis from the gym for students to play Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Consumers seen saving P61.5 billion from pork imports
MANILA, Philippines — Filipino consumers are expected to save some P61.5 billion if more pork imports at lower tariffs will be available.
The Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) said the loss in tariff revenues of P13.4 billion will be more than offset by the cost savings of over 95 million pork consumers amounting to P61.5 billion.
“This is if we assume a lower prevailing pork price, but prices are now hovering between P350 to P400 per kilogram and will break the P400 barrier if the status is maintained,” FEF said in a statement over the weekend.
Lawmakers are moving to revoke Executive Order 128 that temporarily slashes tariff rates for pork imports in the country in a bid to stabilize prices affected by dwindling supply amid the African swine fever (ASF).
Cutting the tariff rate and increasing the minimum access volume (MAV) for pork imports are among the short-term measures of the government to bring down prices.
FEF argued that consumers cannot afford to wait for medium to long-term interventions to repopulate hogs locally and eradicate ASF.
“Millions of consumers have very limited room to absorb major price increases in essential goods, as the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread loss of income and jobs,” FEF said.
“Refusing to take immediate short-term action will exacerbate the elevated hunger incidence in the country. The immediate task at hand is to give the people access to adequate and affordable food,” it said.
This year, the deficit in pork meat is estimated at 476,540 metric tons (MT) as the country’s swine inventory went down 24 percent due to ASF. The increase in MAV has been set from 54,210 MT to 404,210 MT.
FEF maintained that the large supply deficit led to a drastic increase in pork prices, a double whammy for consumers who are already reeling from income and job losses due to the pandemic.
“If pork prices are not brought under control, elevated prices will cascade down to other commodities, and will add pressure on the already shrinking incomes of Filipinos families,” it said.
Without facilitating an increase in imports, FEF said meat inflation would remain at highly abnormal levels.
Meat inflation surged to 20.9 percent in March, the top contributor to overall inflation for the month. It even exceeded the rice inflation during the height of the inflation spike in 2018.
The National Economic and Development Authority said augmenting current supply with imports would lead to a decline in full year inflation by around 0.4 percent points.
Inflation for 2021 will settle at 4.2 percent if no reform will be done. However, it is expected to be at 3.8 percent if additional importation will be pursued.
FEF noted that EO 128 is a temporary measure that provides immediate and short-term intervention to address the situation. Such an order is expected to be gradually phased out over the next 12 months.
“The recovery of the hog industry will take time. Upon the expiration of the tariff measure, we look forward to seeing the domestic hog industry back on its feet and ready to supply the needs of the country,” FEF said.
“But there is an urgent need today to address the rising hunger in the country,” it said.

Saving Money at the Store
Saving Money at the Store
It’s no secret that grocery prices are going up. Navigating a nutritious diet while controlling your grocery budget is challenging. Following a few basic tips can help keep both bank account and nutrition on track.
What is unit price, and how do you calculate it?
Price ÷ Quantity = Unit price
Large container of old-fashioned oats $3.99 ÷ 42oz = $0.09 per ounce
Box of instant oatmeal packets $2.38 ÷ 15.1oz = $0.16 per ounce
- Compare unit prices among different brands offering the same product. Most often the store brand will be less expensive, but if the name brand is on sale then that may not be the case.
- There is also a perception that buying anything in bulk will save money, but again, always compare unit price (hint: this theory is not always true).
- Don’t forget to consider nutrition when looking at price. If both a bag of chips and a container of strawberries each cost $3.00, which one will give you more nutrition for that $3.00? (Answer: strawberries)
Meal Plan & Make a List
- Use the grocery store ad to help meal plan, planning meals using ingredients that are on sale. Make a list based off your meal plan and stick to it when you are at the store! The more items you buy that are not on your list, the more money you will spend at the check out.
- Follow through on your meal plan. Abandoning your plan halfway through the week will likely result in food spoiling, which is also known as wasted money.
- To prevent spoilage, plan to use fresh produce in meals early in the week. Use frozen (or longer lasting fresh) produce later in the week.
- Shop your kitchen first. Go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer, taking stock of what you already have that you can (or need to) use that week.
Look at the Entire Shelf
Grocery stores put their most profitable products at eye level, enticing you to purchase those. Always make sure to look at the top and bottom of the shelf, where you can typically find similar products that are less expensive (and often more nutritious).
Consider Using Grocery Pickup or Delivery
Not walking through the store is a great way to help prevent impulse purchases. Many grocery stores offer pickup for free, meaning you will spend less money by avoiding any extras.
Don’t Shop Hungry
Going to the grocery store on an empty stomach is the perfect way to end up buying much more than you need (see ‘impulse purchases’ from previous point), thus spending more money than you planned. Grocery shop after eating a meal or snack, list in hand.
Save on Protein Foods
Getting adequate lean protein is key, especially for weight loss surgery patients, so it is important to not skimp. Buy lean meats when they are on sale. Purchase extra and store in the freezer for later use. Also, don’t be afraid to go meatless more often. Plant based proteins like quinoa and beans are a nutritious, economical way to meet protein needs.

How To Find The Best Music School
It is a fact that without music, life will be very dull and boring. Music can easily alter our moods, it can make you smile even if you are having a terrible day.
If you love music and you want to unleash your creative side by learning how to play various musical instruments, you have to start looking for the best music school. When you enroll in a music school you will improve both your math skills and your creative thinking. In addition to this, it can even turn you into a more confident individual.
In this article, allow me to share with you some factors that you must first take into consideration when in search of a music school.
A Brief History of Services
1. Do your homework on their instructors.
Getting Down To Basics with Schools
See to it that the music school you will choose have instructors that are both teachers and musicians. The absence of one will cause a problem when it comes the effects of their teachings. A good teacher as well as a talented and experienced musician is the recipe for the perfect music instructor.
2. Check the music school’s equipment and facilities.
Make sure that music school you select has modern music equipment and good facilities. This is because modern music equipment has a lot more features that will help you learn easier and faster.
3. Consider the music school’s alumni.
Every music school will you that they have the best teachers, equipment, and facilities. But we cannot deny the fact that they are a bit biased. The best way to determine if they are effective in teaching music or not is by researching on their alumni. If they have a list of successful student who made it big in the music world, then they are not lying when they say they are a good music school.
If you are now looking for a good music school, you can easily find one online. Now that we are already in the digital age, it is no longer surprising to find a lot of music schools on the internet. If you want to research more on your potential music school’s facilities, instructors, and services, all you need to do is to open and browse their website. Researching on their website is just like taking a tour inside their school campus. A lot of them also post important information like their school address, contact details, and even fees on their website.
While you are doing your research, do not forget to check if there are any reviews or testimonials about their school. To have an idea on how effective they are when it comes to teaching their students, all you really need is an honest feedback from one of their students in the past.
After you have done your research and you have read positive reviews and testimonials about your future music school, you can finally relax knowing you are in good hands.

Cash flow could be an issue as Carlsbad Brine Well project ramps up
About $4.5 million was already spent on efforts to remediate the Carlsbad Brine Well, months before the process of filling the cavity began.
Records show $45 million was allocated to the project – a combination of state and local dollars – and 10 percent so far went to the final design of the project and upgrades to monitoring equipment at the site, said Jim Griswold, environmental bureau chief with the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division – an arm of the State’s Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD).
But he said the spending was worth it, as updated monitoring devices at the site of the well could provide hours of advanced notice of a collapse.
“If the cavern was to catastrophically fail, we’d be able to see that a few hours before the collapse. Hopefully, we would be able to provide that kind of early warning,” Griswold said. “We could get people away so there’s no loss of life.”
Griswold said the project to remediate the former well would be at peak activity in January 2020, with a grouting campaign complete by the following July.
That would be followed by two more years of monitoring to make sure the project worked.
Formerly owned by now defunct company I&W, the brine well was decommissioned in 2008 when the land was deemed unstable.
The well operated by pumping fresh water into an underground salt formation and drawing up the resulting brine for use in the oilfield.
After decades of this, a large cavity formed beneath the surface and under one of the busiest highway junctions in southeast New Mexico, the South Y where U.S. Highways 285 and 62/180 converge as traffic travels to and from the oilfield.
A collapse could interrupt a main thoroughfare for an industry New Mexico relies on for about a third of its overall budget, while also damaging other key infrastructure such as the Carlsbad Irrigation District and train tracks in the area.
Experts estimated the bill for a collapse could be as high as $1 billion in damages, litigation and loss of life.
To remediate the issue the Carlsbad Brine Well Remediation Authority was formed last year, and the Wood Group was contracted to design and build the project.
The main portion of the project is two grouting campaigns: one with high-flow grout to create a cap on the well, and another with low-flow grout to create a support structure within the cavity.
Workers will have to inject the grout while also pumping the remaining brine water out, maintaining cavity pressure to minimize danger during the work, Griswold said.
“Some of the monitoring we’ve used showed the roof of the cavity is much stronger than we thought, said Wood Project manager Dan Kwiecinski. “That’s good news. It’ll be safer.”
Success will be reached, he said, when no movement in the cavity can be detected.
“When there’s not any significant movement, we’ll be confident it’s completed,” Kwiecinski said. “We continue to go through quality assurance and our vetting process with our subcontractors.”
EMNRD takes bigger role, cash flow a concern
At Tuesday’s meeting of the Authority, members voted unanimously to accept a memorandum of understanding (MOA) between the board and EMNRD to clarify the two agency’s roles moving forward.
The MOA gave EMNRD the power to issue contracts for the project, and purchase property as need in pursuit of the remedy, sometimes without Authority approval if the EMNRD cabinet secretary deems property or human life is at risk.
“The authority has no full-time employees. It has been relying on EMNRD to staff it,” EMNRD Cabinet Secretary Sarah Cottrell Propst, who also chairs the Authority. “We feel it is appropriate to have an MOA and clarify what all our roles are. We’re not trying to change anything about what we’re doing. We just want to put it down on paper.
“We want to make sure this project can move forward without having to call an Authority meeting for every little change.”
The MOA also specified that the Authority will annually reimburse EMNRD $125,000 while the project was ongoing until July 1, 2026.
The Authority, per the MOA shall set overarching policy for the remediation project, while supervising EMNRD’s contract administration, holding public meetings and submitting an annual report by Nov. 15 each year until the project is finished.
“It gives EMNRD powers to make decisions in the field,” said Timothy Parker, Authority member and District 2 engineer of the New Mexico Department of Transportation. “Things can change pretty quickly, and we need to be able to make decisions.”
John Heaton, Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway’s designee to the Authority said monitoring cash flow during the project is essential to ensuring it can be completed.
He called for EMNRD to provide continual updates to the Authority as it increases spending as the project moves forward.
“I think it’s important to make sure that the Authority is on track with the funding. We don’t want to overspend and not have enough to finish the project,” Heaton said. “I would like to see the budget and how it’s going to unfold, and whether we’re on target or not.
“The money was not easy to put together. If we’re progressing at a point where we’re exceeding the budget, it’s better to know sooner rather than later.”
Propst said spending on the project will increase continually as more work is done, and the Authority and EMNRD must work together to manage the money.
“Once we get going, we’re going to be spending more and faster,” she said. “There will be a lot for us to manage when it comes to cash flow.”
But Griswold worried that a potential shortfall in funding could occur as the project moves from phase to phase toward completion, and funding is pulled from various sources.
“We know we’re going to have a cash flow problem at some point, because of the phases,” he said. “We need to make sure we’re transparent. It’s not just state money.”

The move follows a similar deal announced by Cadbury Dairy Milk earlier this year.
The announcement has been welcomed by not only the Government but also the Archbishop of York, helping the company to secure a public relations coup, after being dogged by bad publicity dating back to the late 1970s because of its promotion of baby milk.
The Archbishop, Dr John Sentamu, said: "The next step is to make all other produce Fairtrade where possible – in particular my own favourite, the Yorkie! This will depend largely on the Ivory Coast producing the large quantity and quality needed for Nestle to deliver the product. Nestle must be congratulated in going beyond the profit margin."
Initially just the four-finger Kit Kat will be made from Fairtrade chocolate, a deal that will increase Fairtrade chocolate sales by £43 million on an annual basis, dwarfing the £28 million of Fairtrade chocolate sales that were achieved during 2008.
However, this 2008 figure does not include Cadbury's move into Fairtrade earlier this year, which is expected to have added £180 million to Faitrade's sales. Eventually, once more Fairtrade chocolate is secured, other Kit Kats will join the scheme and possibly other Nestle products, meaning a significant chunk of the chocolate market will be part of the ethical movement.
There is some disagreement over the status of Britain's top chocolate bar. Cadbury's Dairy Milk brand is the biggest – because it stretches across different products such as Wispa, now Dairy Milk Bubbly, and Buttons – but if you compare Kit Kats with pure Dairy Milks, the Nestle product is considerably bigger.
Just over 1 billion Kit Kats are sold in Britain every year, compared with 350 million Dairy Milks.
To receive the Fairtrade accreditation companies have to pay a minimum price to their suppliers, plus a premium of about $150 (£90) a tonne, to qualify for Fairtrade certification. They also have to sign up to various promises such as a guarantee that no child labour will be used.
On top of this, the company needs to pay a licence fee to the Fairtrade foundation, based on volumes of sales. Nestle promises the price of a Kit Kat, normally about 55p in most corner shops, will not be affected.
Harriet Lamb, executive director of the Fairtrade Foundation, said: "The Fairtrade Foundation congratulates Kit Kat on this breakthrough for cocoa farmers. Mainstream brands such as Kit Kat bring the critical mass that is needed to tip the balance of trade in favour of disadvantaged cocoa farmers."
Some economists, notably the Adam Smith Institute, claim Fairtrade distorts the market by setting a price floor, and encouraging suppliers to increase production. This in turn produces excess supply forcing down prices for suppliers not part of the scheme.
However, Dr Sentamu, whose Minster is less than three miles from the Kit Kat factory in York, is convinced. He said: "I have visited the workers at the co-operative in the Ivory Coast who will benefit from Kit Kat four-finger bar becoming Fairtrade, and I know that this is a real step forward in giving them the justice, recognition and pay they deserve."
