Morse Watchmans have reported a rising number of international cities and municipalities installing the company’s KeyWatcher Touch, to secure the buildings, equipment and vehicles utilised by various municipal departments.
“From public works to waste departments, courthouses, and beyond, the adoption of our KeyWatcher Touch solution continues to resonate positively across so many diverse cities,” said Tim Purpura, VP of Global Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans. “We take pride in knowing that our systems are being used to facilitate secure and efficient operations for some of the public’s most critical services.”
By implementing effective municipal key control measures, cities can mitigate the risks associated with unauthorised key access while maintaining the operational integrity of public works.
This proactive approach not only safeguards against potential security breaches but also fosters accountability and responsible use of resources among city employees. In this way, cities and municipalities can establish a foundation of trust and confidence within their communities.
In one instance, the Walworth County Public Works Department in Wisconsin implemented a new KeyWatcher Touch system after the original key box system failed to adequately support the county’s hundreds of keys for government buildings and county fleet vehicles.
After seeing the success of the KeyWatcher Touch solution at the Department of Public Works, other departments within Walworth County have also begun installing their own KeyWatcher Systems. “These boxes are starting to catch on, and departments are really thinking about how they will use them for vehicles and building keys,” said John Miller, Senior Project Manager, Walworth County Public Works.
Across the globe, the operational efficiencies of the KeyWatcher Touch solution are also appreciated. Blacktown City, a suburban community located approximately 22 miles west of Sydney, Australia, implemented a KeyWatcher Touch system at their Main Works Depot to help maintain usage accountability and eliminate the problem of missing or overdue vehicles, machinery, and building keys.
“We manage keys for at least 500 vehicles and machines here at the Depot and each of them has at least two to three sets of keys,” said Joe Haddad, Facility Manager, Blacktown City Main Works Depot. “Without the KeyWatcher Touch automated control and tracking, the job of accurately keeping track of these many keys would be almost impossible.”

House ethics panel clears Shuler
NC congressman did not violate rules in transaction with TVA
Published: Friday, November 6, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 11:56 p.m.
The House Ethics Committee cleared Rep. Heath Shuler Tuesday of any wrongdoing in a rights exchange with the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The committee "determined that your actions in these matters were not improper in any way and did not violate House Rules."
A letter sent to Shuler, D-N.C., from the House Ethics Committee said the matter was closed.
"Throughout my personal and professional life, I have always held myself to the highest possible ethical standard," Shuler said in a statement released Thursday. "I maintained that standard through all my interactions with the TVA relating to Blackberry Cove. I have never and will never attempt to use my office for personal gain and look forward to continuing to work on behalf of the people of Western North Carolina."
A spokesman for Shuler said the congressman was unavailable for comment.
Shuler is a partner in The Cove at Blackberry Ridge, a development in East Tennessee. The development negotiated a water access agreement with TVA to the Watts Bar Reservoir. An exchange was never finalized because concerns were raised about Shuler's interest in the development and whether The Cove at Blackberry Ridge was given preferential treatment.
Shuler previously served on a committee with some oversight of the TVA.
Shuler has come under intense scrutiny in the recent months by Republicans, who believe he is vulnerable in the 2010 election.
Henderson County Republican Party Chairman Robert Danos said there are still unanswered questions, even after the Ethics Committee letter. A personnel report created during the inspector general's investigation seemed to indicate Shuler had some contact with the TVA during the exchange. Danos wants Shuler to clarify what, if any, contact he had with the TVA.
"The idea the House Ethics Committee is a credible judge of wrongdoing is as absurd as asking the fox who has been in the hen house," Danos said.
The committee is composed of 10 members, five Democrats and five Republicans. The letter was signed by the committee's chair, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and ranking member Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala.
The Tennessee Valley Authority Office of the Inspector General launched an investigation and released a report in June.
The report never accused Shuler of wrongdoing but suggested there could be the appearance of favoritism.
The inspector general forwarded a copy of the report to the House Ethics Committee "because it had no jurisdiction over a sitting United States congressman."

I actually slept like a baby!! Did not wake up once! I love when that happens!
In the morning I was too lazy to actually make food. I don’t know if it’s because I slept so good and was comfortable, that I did not want to get up. I just wanted to stay in bed longer, but I forced myself to get up. So I decided to make banana scrambled eggs. I had ripe bananas that I need to use up, so I mashed one banana with two eggs and sprinkled in some ground cinnamon and cooked it in one tablespoon of coconut oil. Very yummy and satisfying!
It’s Friday, which means no meat during lent season. This makes me sad. This makes me miss meat. But it’s only one day right?! It’s an excuse to eat shrimp! At least I like shrimp. So for lunch I decided to make myself some canned tuna mixed with some spicy brown mustard. I wish I had whole30 compliant mayo at the time, but it was still good.
Anyways, I was out running errands and decided to stop by at Whole Foods. I never go shopping at Whole Foods and I think this is the first time I have stepped into Whole Foods since I don’t even know when! However, I really wanted to buy some whole30 compliant condiments! I was able to get whole30 compliant mayo, salad dressings, barbecue sauce and some other things! I even got Larabars, which I know you’re not exactly supposed to eat them during Whole30, but they are compliant! Plus I’ve been seeing them all over the Internet and have never tried them before, so I decided to buy it. Since I was running errands and it took me longer than expected, I decided to have one for the day.
I finally got home around 7 after running errands since like noon. I made Zoodles With Shrimp Marinara. It was oh so yummy!! Shrimp gets me through on days that I cannot have meat!
Since I was running errands all day, I was not able to work out! I did do a lot of walking around the stores I suppose, so at least I was not sitting on my butt all day. Anyways, I think since I was pretty busy running errands, I had energy. I did not feel hungry or tired. According to the whole30 website, people go through the “hangover” on day 2-3. I have not yet experienced that. I thought I was going to in the morning since I was too lazy to get up and make food, but then I got a burst of energy! Am hoping my “hangover” doesn’t happen over the weekend though! Maybe I can just skip this whole hangover thing.

Authentic Catholic Healthcare is More Important than Ever
On June 30th, 2023, the Catholic Medical Association distributed a press release calling for authentic Catholic healthcare. This comes in the wake of the exclusive news story reported by the Daily Wire. The story revealed that several hospitals within America’s largest Catholic nonprofit health system are performing sex change operations. They are providing hormone suppression and puberty blocking drugs to patients. They even have medical staff participating in “pronoun training” under guidelines set by The Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes to medical attempts to modify peoples’ sex. In accordance with that, the Bishops released a statement earlier this year and stated, “Catholic health care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex or take part in the development of such procedures.”
Philadelphia, Pa. – June 30, 2023 – The Catholic Medical Association (CMA), the largest association of Catholic medical professionals, calls for all Catholic hospitals and health systems to provide authentic health care in accordance with Church teaching. At a time of rapid advancement in technology and moral relativism influencing clinical practices, it is essential for Catholic health care institutions to faithfully follow Christ’s teachings so as to not cause confusion or do harm.
Recent troubling news reports claim that several hospitals and medical centers under the auspices of the largest Catholic health system in the U.S. are providing referrals for hormone interventions and puberty-blocking drugs to children, as well as conducting abortions, dispensing contraception, and performing sterilizations.
When Catholic health care institutions do not remain consistent with the Church’s social doctrine, scandal and confusion abound.
“Catholic health care is a ministry rooted in a commitment to promote and defend human dignity. When we fail to respect the sacredness of every human life from the moment of conception until natural death, we fail in our purpose and mission that has been our legacy,” said CMA President Dr. Craig L. Treptow.
Catholic health care makes up the largest group of nonprofit health care providers in the nation. Therefore, Catholic medical professionals have a responsibility to be a leading voice in the national discussion currently taking place around policies and actions that are contrary to the dignity and vocation of the human person.
“It is a legacy we must work hard to preserve despite the attacks and pressure to conform to unproven and unethical clinical practices in vogue today,” said Dr. Greg F. Burke, co-chair of the CMA Ethics Committee.
CMA is committed to helping medical professionals understand this special vocation in carrying forth Christ’s healing ministry. One way is through the high-quality annual conferences that have been inspiring and supporting such professionals for nearly a century. This year’s conference, “Be Not Afraid: Courageous Catholic Medicine,” will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. Click here for more information.
The Catholic Medical Association is a national, physician-led community of 2,600 health care professionals consisting of 119 local guilds. CMA’s mission is to inform, organize, and inspire its members, in steadfast fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church. To uphold the principles of the Catholic faith in the science and practice of medicine. Learn more about their work at cathmed.org.

For Gators fans opening day 2020 seemed like it would never get here but now it is. Florida opens on the road against the Rebels of Ole Miss and here is a breakdown of what you need to know.
No. 5 Florida at Ole Miss, Saturday at noon ET (ESPN).
Line: Florida by 14.
Series record: Ole Miss leads 12-11-1.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Florida looks to get coach Dan Mullen’s third season, the most anticipated one yet, off to a good start in Oxford, Mississippi. The Gators have hopes of competing for the Southeastern Conference title. This is the first time since 1987 that Florida begins its season with a true road game. The Rebels are trying to get coach Lane Kiffin a program-changing upset in his debut.
Mississippi’s ground game vs Florida’s run defense. Jerrion Ealy had 722 yards rushing and six touchdowns last season, second on the team behind speedy QB John Rhys Plumlee. The Gators have a revamped front seven and are trying to replace 2019 leading tackler David Reese.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Florida: The Kyle to Kyle connection. TE Kyle Pitts will be one of QB Kyle Trask’s favorite targets. Pitts had 54 receptions for 649 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2019 while sharing the ball with future NFL WRs Van Jefferson, Freddie Swain, Josh Hammond and Tyrie Cleveland.
Ole Miss: QB Matt Corral is expected to get the start in Kiffin’s debut, with Plumlee sure to see playing time. Corral was once committed to Florida. He started four games last season and led the team with 1,362 yards passing, with six touchdowns and three interceptions.
FACTS & FIGURES
This is the third consecutive season that Kiffin opened against a top-five team. Florida Atlantic lost at Ohio State 45-21 last year and at Oklahoma 63-14 in 2018. … Ole Miss’ last win over a ranked opponent came in 2017 – against Mullen in his final game with Mississippi State. … This is Florida’s first trip to Oxford since 2007, a 30-24 victory in which eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow accounted for 427 yards and four touchdowns.

Is phosphorus recovery from waste water feasible?
Berg, U. / Knoll G. / Kaschka, E. / Weidler, P. / Nuesch, R. (2007)
Environmental Technology, 28 (2007), 2, 165–172
- Date: 2007
Berg, U. / Knoll G. / Kaschka, E. / Weidler, P. / Nuesch, R. (2007): „Is phosphorus recovery from waste water feasible? “ In: Environmental Technology, 28 (2007), 2, 165–172
Phosphorus (P) recovery from waste water must become a predominant goal of all countries to face the limited resources of this essential nutrient. The induced crystallisation of calcium phosphates straight from the waste water phase applying tobermorite-rich calcium silicate hydrate compounds (CSH) from the construction industry as the trigger material has proved to be a suitable method. Laboratory and semi-technical scale experiments were carried out in fixed bed, stirred reactor and expanded bed mode. P-loads of the crystallisation substrates of up to 13 wt-% total P (P-tot) (30 wt-% P2O5) were achieved.
Recycling options of the generated products, both as substitute for phosphate rock in the phosphate industry and as a new fertiliser in agriculture, were demonstrated. Indicative operating and investment costs were estimated for conversion of conventional waste water treatment plants (WWTP) designed for nutrient removal and P-precipitation with iron and aluminium reagents to the proposed new crystallisation technology for simultaneous P-removal and P-recovery.

State Mental Health Cuts Continue: Take Action Today
State budget cuts continue to jeopardize mental health systems across the country and NAMI advocates are fighting to preserve and strengthen mental health care in every state.
NAMI Executive Director Michael Fitzpatrick recently spoke with the Associated Press about the bleak outlook on state mental health systems, noting that even in states like Oklahoma, which made exceptional progress in recent years, state budget cuts may threaten any advancements.
Pete Earley examines the unfulfilled promises of Virginia's mental health system in The Washington Post. Just two years after then-Governor Kaine signed legislation to improve Virginia's mental healthcare system following the Virginia Tech tragedy, the assured reforms have fallen short due to repeated budget cuts.
In fact, Governor McDonnell's recent proposed budget would leave mental health services with less money than was available in 2007 before the Virginia Tech tragedy. Earley notes that ironically, there are many effective Virginia treatment programs that over time may reduce the need for tax dollars.
Sue Abderholden, executive director of NAMI Minnesota, recently spoke with Minnesota Public Radio about the severe impact that state budget cuts, including eliminating 200 full-time positions from a program that provides care for Minnesotans with mental illness, will have on the community.
Watch Bill Kehoe, executive director of NAMI Mississippi, warn of severe consequences Governor Barbour's proposed cuts would have on people affected by mental illness.
Take Action: Build Relationships with Representatives
For advocates living in states where legislators are still in session, this is not the time to give up. More than ever, elected officials need to hear from their constituents. Tell your legislators how you have been impacted by serious mental illness, and how cuts to mental health services can cause real pain in shifted costs, negatively affecting families, communities and the economy.
If your legislative session is on recess, or has ended, this is still an ideal time to engage elected officials. The next fiscal year is expected to be as much, if not more, daunting than the current year. By building relationships with elected officials and keeping mental health in the forefront of their minds, you are taking critical actions to make mental health a priority in the next legislative session.
Legislators may be more relaxed and approachable while they are back in their home district. Take advantage of this by building your relationships with these easy steps:
NAMI makes it easy to stay connected with your representatives. Make your voice heard. Visit www.nami.org/stateadvocacy/action to find your legislators' contact information and schedule a meeting--or write to them using the online form.
NAMI's state advocacy Web site, www.nami.org/stateadvocacy, offers additional tools for grassroots advocates to use with legislators, the news media and others.
Help NAMI track what is happening nationwide. If you see a news story about mental health budget cuts in your state or community, please send a Web site link to Christine Armstrong. Please also tell us about any personal experiences that you, family or friends currently are having as a result of state budget cuts.

Thai bishops stress Catholic identity, top academics in schools
Aug. 27, 2013
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Thailand is calling for renewed effort to boost Catholic education in the country, striving to reach international standards while fostering faith education. A three-day seminar organized by the Commission of the Catholic Education Council of Thailand was held recently in Pattaya to discuss standards for Catholic schools in evangelizing and educating. “This annual meeting of all Catholic educators is of prime importance,” said Fr. Francis Xavier Deja Arpornrat, executive secretary general of the Thai bishops’ conference.
He told CNA that Catholics schools aim at the “holistic development” of the human person, and it is for this reason that “parents place their trust” in the education that their children receive at the schools. It is important for the nation’s Catholic schools to “maintain” their identity while they “upgrade” teaching methods to ensure high educational standards in the modern world, the priest explained. “We need to renew our methods and reform our system to the changing times,” while preserving a strong Catholic identity, he stressed.
Archbishop Louis Chamnien Shantisukniran of Thare and Nonseng, president of the Thai bishops’ conference, delivered an address at the symposium stressing the duty of the Catholic Church to help its institutions to express their Catholic identity. He underscored the goal of the Thai bishops’ Pastoral Plan for 2010-2015 to make educational institutions the focal point “for proclamation of the Good News,” leading to the development of virtues and ethical formation in schools. The archbishop urged the educators to be “living witness” of Jesus among the students.
Archbishop Francis Xavier Kriengsak Kovinthavanij of Bangkok, vice president of the bishops’ conference, framed his reflections in the light of the New Evangelization. “The Catholic Church in Thailand is in the midst of our brothers and sisters of other faiths,” he noted. “The Church is essentially the sign and instrument of announcing the Kingdom of God,” he said, “and all the disciples of Christ are called to announce and share the Good News to both those who have not yet heard and those who are not yet in the same sheepfold.”
The appropriate way to bring about mutual understanding in society is through inter-religious dialogue, which plays an important role in the New Evangelization, he said. The Pastoral Plan outline by the bishops emphasizes educators’ roles in fostering Gospel values, morality and virtues, helping students to integrate faith, culture and life. It highlights the need for education in media and technology, ecology and the environment, peace and justice, and sexuality and human rights. Over 400 Catholic educators from across Thailand’s 10 dioceses participated in the symposium. There are some 300 Catholic schools in the country, educating more than half a million students. Bishop John Bosco Panya Kritcharoen of Ratchaburi and Bishop Silvio Siriphong Charatsri of Chantaburi also shared their insights under the backdrop of New Evangelization and the current need for educators to play a multi-dimensional role.

CHICO — The wife of a former Chico mortgage broker now in federal custody, as well as six local residents and men from Elk Grove and Sacramento, were indicted today on charges connected with a multi-million dollar “builder bailout” scheme.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said a grand jury also amended an indictment against the alleged ringleader of the scheme, Garrett Griffith Gililland, 28.
His wife, Nicole Magpusao, 30, also now in federal custody, was named along with William E. Baker, 65, identified as a Chico homebuilder, and Shane Burreson, 38, of Orland, identified as president of NorCal Innovative Investments, a company established by Gililland.
Additionally named are Leonard Williams, 48, of Sacramento, a licensed real estate salesman; Christopher M. Chiavola, 31, of Chico; Brandon Resendez, 31, of Chico; Niche Fortune, 38, of Chico; Keisha Haynie, 39, of Chico; and Remy Heng, 30, of Elk Grove. According to court records, Haynie is also a licensed real estate salesman.
Chico homebuilder Tony Symmes was indicted in the scheme earlier this year and in May stipulated to single counts of mail fraud and money laundering.
In a case investigated by the IRS, FBI and Butte County District Attorney’s Office, Symmes and Gililland were charged with conspiring to sell 62 Chico homes Symmes was unable to sell at market prices to “straw buyers.”
The homes were appraised at higher than market value and proceeds from loans secured at the inflated prices were distributed to participants in the scheme, allegedly including those indicted today.

Subway reported another year of record sales, fueled by an ongoing transformation journey targeting menu innovation, restaurant modernization, and improving the guest experience.
The company finished 2022 with eight straight quarters of positive comps and exceeded sales projections. Global same-store sales increased 9.2 percent versus 2021 and 29.1 percent against 2020. In North America, comps grew 7.8 percent year-over-year; the top 75 percent (roughly 17,000 restaurants) saw 12.5 percent growth. Additionally, these units consistently surpassed decade-old weekly AUV sales marks.
“As part of our journey to transform the brand, we are improving across every aspect of our business and, after two years of record sales results, we can confidently say that Subway is getting its swagger back,” CEO John Chidsey said in a statement. “Across every region, the team’s efforts have set the stage for another year of strategic and profitable growth and exciting enhancements to our guest experience.”
The brand attributed sales growth to its Subway Series, a menu launched in July 2022 that allows customers to order sandwiches by name and number as opposed to customization. Additionally, the company elevated its catering program with easier order options, pick up and delivery, and upgraded packaging, and expanded its launch of nontraditional platforms, like Subway Grab & Go and smart fridges. The chain reported in the fall that roughly 5,900 nontraditional locations in the U.S. and Canada—about 25 percent of the North American footprint—experienced a 13 percent increase in same-stores sales during the first three quarters of 2022.
In terms of development, 8,500 locations in North America now offer Subway's new "Fresh Forward" design, which includes LED lighting, new floor coverings, containers, tables, colors, and chairs. In 2022, 2,600 remodels were completed. An additional 3,600 stores will undergo the change in 2023. Internationally, Subway has more than 5,300 future restaurant commitments.
The concept is also rethinking its growth strategy by adopting an experienced-oriented approach as opposed to development-first. This means bringing in more multi-unit operators who own other chains and fewer mom-and-pop franchisees.
“There is currently a lot of excitement around the Subway brand amongst fellow franchisees, their teams and guests,” Dennis Reed, a multi-unit franchisee for over 25 years, said in a statement. “The company’s focus on elevating the guest experience and operations over the past 24 months has resulted in positive feedback about the brand’s updated, energetic and innovative new menu and look, and ultimately, is leading to an increase in traffic and sales at my restaurants.”
The news comes a few weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported Subway is exploring a sale. The company could be valued at more than $10 billion. Also, The Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation—the nonprofit founded by late cofounder Dr. Peter Buck and his wife—announced that he donated his 50 percent ownership stake to the organization. The family of Fred DeLuca, the cofounder who passed away in 2015, owns the other half of the company.
Subway has nearly 37,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. It is the largest restaurant chain in terms of unit count in the U.S. and the second-largest globally, with McDonald's being the leader.

A Book of Three Birds by Morgan Llwyd
Publisher: Cockatrice Books, 2015 | ISBN: 978-1912368136 | Format: 20.3×12.7cm paperback | Length: 158 pages | Price: £8.99.
Morgan Llwyd (1619-1659), the nephew of a professional soldier and magician, was a Roundhead, a millenialist, a chaplain in the army of Oliver Cromwell, and later a civil servant of the commonwealth in Wales.
His famous religious allegory, A Book of Three Birds, is considered the most important Welsh book of the Seventeenth Century, and an enduring masterpiece of Welsh prose. With its introduction reflecting on the political turmoils of our time, this new translation by Rob Mimpriss brings to life the pungency of Morgan Llwyd’s writing, the richness of his religious and political thought, and the urgency of his drama and characterisation.
‘Lucid, skilful, and above all, of enormous timely relevance.’
From the Introduction:
An eagle, a raven and a dove meet and debate in Morgan Llwyd’s seminal masterpiece of Welsh prose style. The year is 1653 A.D., the year in which A Book of Three Birds was published, and on whose events the three birds reflect: the civil war which brought Oliver Cromwell to power; more recent, demoralising wars in Ireland and Scotland; and the abolition of Parliament. The book is written in expectation of the year 1656, an omen of the Second Coming, for the world waits in suspense between two disasters: the fires of the Day of Judgement, which is imminent, and of which the Civil War is a foretaste, and the waters of the flood which drowned the world in the time of Noah, and which symbolically have not yet receded. The reality of this coming judgement underlies all human politics, all industry and learning, just as the reality of the coming flood underlay the eating and drinking, courtship and marriage of the antedeluvian world. These two judgements, and the uneasy rest between them, are symbolised in the shape of the rainbow, and in the red and blue with which it is fringed.

The party’s two potential candidates – SEB Bankas economist Gitanas Nausėda and MP Ingrida Šimonytė – have pledged to give their decisions later.
“I plan to run for the presidential election, I will announce my decision this summer,” Ušackas told BNS on Friday.
“I hope my party will propose me as the candidate. I will seek to become a candidate of all citizens of Lithuania, regardless of the party they belong to,” he added.
Ušackas, 53, has been a diplomat since 1991, serving as Lithuania’s foreign minister in 2008-2010. He has headed Lithuania’s embassies to the United States and Great Britain, the European Union‘s (EU) diplomatic missions to Afghanistan and Russia. He is currently the director of the Europe Institute at the Kaunas University of Technology.
Conservative MP Žygimantas Pavilionis told BNS on Friday he would also seek to become the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party’s candidate for the 2019 presidential race.
“I have been integrating Lithuania with the West all my life, both working in Brussels and Washington, I have been defending it against all types of outside enemies, to I believe it is my duty to do the same in the current elections, as third countries will also take part in our elections,” said Pavilionis.
Pavilionis, 46, has been a diplomat since 1993, serving as secretary at the Foreign Ministry in 2006-2009 and heading Lithuania’s Embassy to the US in 2011-2015.
Nausėda, 53-year-old adviser to president of SEB Bankas, told BNS on Friday his decision on joining the race would come in September. In his words, the issue remains open at the moment, and the decision “can be positive or negative.”
“I will make a decision in September. This will give me time to see the society’s feelings, meet many people and the decision will then come naturally,” said the economist.
Šimonytė, 43-year-old former minister of finance, said she would decide on the matter, if her party proposes her as candidate.
“I will not be very surprised to see my name among the proposed candidates but I will only say then what I will do with the name,” Šimonytė told BNS on Friday.
The conservatives say their initial elections will be open to people from the outside. The party’s election is scheduled for this fall.
The ruling Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union has not yet decided on the scheme of proposing a candidate for the next year’s presidential election. Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis has said he had not yet decided on joining the race, pledging to give his decision later.
European Commissioner Vytenis Povilas Andriukaitis is viewed as the most prospective candidate of the Social Democratic Party, however, says he would announce his decision at a later date. The party’s MEP Vilija Blinkeviciute has told the media she would not join the race. The party is still proposing candidates for its internal elections.
The Liberal Movement will pick a presidential candidate in an internal ballot during a congress next weekend. The candidates proposed by the party’s board include MEP Petras Auštrevičius and MP Arūnas Gelūnas, Lithuania’s former ambassador at UNESCO.
MPs Naglis Puteikis and Aušra Maldeikienė along with MEP Valentinas Mazuronis have already announced plans of running for president next year.
Kaunas Mayor Visvaldas Matijošaitis listed high on public opinion polls has not yet revealed his plans on running for Lithuania’s president.

So as Metro Boomin has become trap music’s workhorse, Mike WiLL Made-It, has expanded his repertoire with radical pivots, zany psychedelic trips and unfortunately “chick” pop. Mike WiLL has come a long way since I first heard him on Meek Mill’s “Tupac Back.” He finds himself producing on everything in today’s industry. From spacey trap ballads (Future’s “Turn On the Lights”), to the strip club anthems (“Bandz a Make Her Dance”), your beloved sensual R&B (Ciara’s “Body Party”), pop bangers (Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop”), diva tributes (Beyoncé’s “Formation”), and even ad fodder, on his way to becoming one of rap’s most versatile soundmen. He scored his first-ever Hot 100 chart-topper by producing the viral sensation “Black Beatles” for Rae Sremmurd, the lead acts of his EarDrummers imprint. Mike WiLL returns with Ransom 2, debut album and sequel to a 2014 mixtape, and as expected, it comes with a few classic tracks featuring some of the games best artist. There’s not much to expect from this album but because it’s a Mike WiLL creation, it can’t help but thrill you.
Top 5 Songs
5. Nothing Is Promised ft Rihanna
I love the rapping-singing Rihanna personally. The beat was sweet on here. It says a lot that this song is in my Top 5 songs. especially. This song blessed the air waves way before Ransom 2 even was released. It shows that there were not many bangers on this project.
4. Emotion On Lock ft. Eearz
Yo!! This guy Eearz can really RAP! Love his flow too. I will for sure be looking in to him and see what other projects he’s put out or has in the works. Eearz is one of Mike WiLL’s EarDrummers artist. The future is bright for The 24 year old rapper hailing from the ATL.
3. Bars of Soap ft. Swae Lee
PSA: Swae Lee is one of the most versatile guys in the game right NOW! Swae Lee clearly is Mike WiLL’s greatest asset. He gives us a taste of the solo album he’s been teasing on “Bars of Soap,” a punchy departure from his usual animated fare. His flow on here is just so dam silly, I love it!
2. Perfect Pint ft. Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane and Rae Sremmurd
On “Perfect Pint,” the SremmLife duo trade raps with Gucci and Kendrick Lamar, and the chemistry is a pleasant surprise. Like I was so surprised on how good they sounded together. They definitely have to team up again in the future.
1. Gucci On My ft. 21 Savage, YG and Migos
Okay, now this track f%@kin goes man! This is a personal favorite song and a song that should be on all your summer pool party playlist, pregame playlist etc. On here 21 savage and YG team up here and they mesh so well! YG verse might be my favorite part though, don’t judge:
[YG:] G’d up in that Gucci Boo’d up with your hoochie Shhhh Victoria Secret, I fucked her in that coochie
[Kamaiyah:] YG’s doin’ okay, YG’s got a maid YG gettin’ paid, YG’s skin clear, YG got the raise YG got the hoes, YG on the blade, YG with the shits
[YG:] Prolly hit your bitch in the Wraith ([21 Savage:] yeah, yeah) Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up Pay me, walkthrough, fuck it up The FN, FN fuck ’em up Under my designer, tucked Boss bitch, boss bitch, boss bitch I need me, need a boss bitch One that take dick and talk shit No weave, I’d rather her bald head!
My brother and I love this song. It’s practically our anthem!
- On the Come Up ft. Big Sean (3.5/5)
- W Y O (What You On) ft. Young Thug (4/5)
- Hasselhoff ft. Lil Yachty (3/5)
- Gucci On My ft. 21 Savage, YG and Migos (5/5)
- Oh Hi Hater (Hiatus) ft. Fortune (2/5)
- Perfect Pint ft. Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane and Rae Sremmurd (5/5)
- Razzle Dazzle ft. Future (3.5/5)
- Bars of Soap ft. Swae Lee (5/5)
- Burnin’ Feat. Andrea (3.5/5)
- Y’all Ain’t Ready ft. 2 Chainz (3.75/5)
- Aries (YuGo) ft. Pharrell and Station Wagon P (4.3/5)
- Emotion On Lock ft. Eearz(5/5)
- Big God ft. Trouble and Problem (2.5/5)
- Faith ft. Lil Wayne and Hoodybaby (3/5)
- Come Down ft. Chief Keef and Rae Sremmurd (3.75/5)
- Outro (N/A)
- Nothing Is Promised ft Rihanna (4.5/5)
Ransom 2 isn’t much different than Ransom. Ransom 2 definitely features much bigger artist The bigger names showcase a quick flip through Mike WiLL’s contact list: Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Pharrell, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Migos, YG, and more. He also included members of his EarDrummers team: Rae Sremmurd, Eearz, Andrea, Fortune, with producers Pluss, Resource, and Marz. On this project I felt there were some great highlights but certain artist ruined great beats leading to a lot of “so so” and trash tracks. Basically there are a lot of skippable tracks which break my heart. Mike WiLL has enough clout that he can cash in favors at anytime honestly to collect those one off and extra session extras that make these kind of albums. Sometimes though they feel like discarded piles of a more prominent releases. Unfortunately, the performances on Ransom 2 are so dynamic that songs don’t even feel like blips in the massive catalogs of constantly-active MCs like Future, Gucci Mane, and Young Thug. With Young Thug on “W Y O (What You On),” he continues his trial runs with new flows, chattering through the first verse before ripping through the second in bursts. If anything, these tracks just feel like recaps for recent breakouts. On “Perfect Pint,” the SremmLife duo paired up with Gucci and Kendrick Lamar, and the chemistry was a pleasant surprise. “Razzle Dazzle” with Future was cool showing he is still in form. “Perfect Pint,” “Bars of Soap,” were the hardest tracks in my opinion but it’s Eearz who made the greatest impression with “Emotions On Lock.”
So as I conclude, its safe to say “Ransom 2” didn’t get the most from its guest but there are some tracks that standout! Well like 5-8… out of 17. I was not expecting this. You look at the tracklist and immediately you think this project could be great. But man….(SMH). Lil Yachty’s ode to a Baywatcher, “Hasselhoff,” wanders from the sweet delights that made him so popular , and so happened to play to his strengths, opting instead for a straight-faced bar fest and he failed miserably here. I’ve heard him on other tracks trying to spit bars and they went way harder than this. Also, Trouble and Problem’s tag-team effort, “Big God,” was terrible. I have no idea how it got on this project. But hey it’s a better track than “Oh Hi Hater (Hiatus).” Big Sean also disappointed me some on “On The Come Up.” But It just missed my top 5 but I would like to give a shout out to Pharell killing it on “Aries (Yugo).” Even though there were plenty of misfires and shitty verses, there were some bright spots. This album is a good listen but it won’t stay in your rotation for too long. But if there are any songs on here that’ll get daily plays from you, It’ll be my top 5 choices and “Aries (Yugo).” Thanks for reading!

Recently, it was reported that Magach tanks being stored in military warehouses in the Negev desert will be recommissioned by the Israel Defense Forces to compensate for the damage of the Merkava IV line.
Damage to Israel’s Merkava tanks is at an “unprecedented” level in the recent conflict with Hamas forces. The Israeli army, even before it began conducting active ground operations, lost more than 30 Merkava heavy tanks. The Israeli army will face an even more complex battle ahead in the maze of Gaza City, with attacks from high-rise buildings as well as from underground tunnels. In a situation where the war is expected to remain tense and possibly prolong and expand with the involvement of the armed group Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel needs to add a powerful tank force.
Recently, it was reported that Magach tanks being stored in military warehouses in the Negev desert will be recommissioned by the Israel Defense Forces to compensate for the damage of the Merkava IV line. Although the Magach tank is old, in the current war situation, if called back into service, it will still be a valuable addition to the Israeli Army.
Magach is the name of the M48 and M60 main battle tanks transferred to the Israeli Army by the US and West Germany. Early versions of the Magach tank were almost identical to the American version. After upgrading the system to higher Magach versions, Israel’s M48 and M60 tanks are completely identical from appearance to features.
The Magach tank has many diverse variations, the most notable of which are the Magach 7A and Magach 7C with angular turret. Compared to the original M60, Magach 7 has significantly improved mobility, firepower, especially its armor protection has been greatly improved. Magach 7 was supplemented with thick passive armor plates, providing better protection, and features side-skirts. The first two sections of the skirts feature ballistic material and are hinged for easy access to the running gear. The rear skirts are made of steel. All the skirts are fitted to heavy-duty springs to prevent them being ripped-off while maneuvering.
Magach 7 is equipped with an improved engine of the previous Continental AVDS-1790-2C with a capacity of 908 horsepower. The transmission is automatic and sourced from the Merkava Mk.1. Suspension and hydraulics have also been improved, giving the Magach 7 a much improved cross-country performance over the M60 Patton. As a result weapon stability was enhanced.
In terms of armament, the Magach 7 retains the 105 mm L7/M68 rifle as fitted to the previous M60s but now has an additional bolt-on thermal sleeve for improved accuracy. It is fully compatible with 105 mm NATO ammunition. The M73 machine gun has been replaced by an FN machine gun. A 12.7 mm M2HB can be fitted to the roof. This MBT is fitted with new fire control system with a laser rangefinder.
Magach 7 has a weight of about 55 tons, a length of 9.43 m, a width of 3.63 m, and a height of 3.25 m. Its 4-man crew includes: Driver, gunner, Commander, and loader. Currently, Magach tanks have been completely retired by the Israeli Army and stored in the Negev desert to focus on using the domestic Merkava line with an optimal design for the Middle East battlefield.
Some Magach chassis were converted into Pereh anti-tank missile carriers, the turret still has a 105 mm gun but only serves as camouflage. Although more outdated than the Merkava or some modern MBTs, high-end Magach tanks (like the Magach 7 version) are still considered useful on the battlefield. The fact that Israel has not yet dismantled these tanks (partly due to the high cost) makes them a valuable additional source in the current situation.

Detail of two clay panels for Sai Ying Pun MTR station, (left) noodle shop, (right) lantern shop
Above is the completed clay for a commission to record the building of the RBS new headquarters in Scotland, similar in style to an earlier relief of Glaxo Smith Kline new headquarters using the architects map in the centre with corresponding building activities happening around the map. The clay has to stay wet by wrapping it every night in damp cloths to stop it from drying out. I often cast sticks & plastic pipes into the moulds some of these can be seen at the top right section used to make the windows & ceiling details. Finished version can be seen in "Construction projects, UK" .
Above is the completed clay relief of the construction team at RBS project in Edinburgh. I had a desk in this office so spent a lot of time photographing & sketching the people. I worked from many images of people at work, their desks, the way they made calls, used their computers to help capture the atmosphere of a typical day in the office. As there are over 60 characters it appears like a fairly squashed office, the desks & chairs have been used as a way of dividing the space. For finished painted version please see 'Construction Projects, UK' in this website.
(Left) is a close up detail of the directors looking at the plans for the new headquarters. The man with his arms crossed is Sir Fred Goodwin much talked about in the media since. These were worked from photos that I took in one of the many meetings held on site, each head is about the size of a golf ball.
Bas-relief plaque, commissioned by the Jewish East End Society to commemorate Daniel Mendoza (1764-1836) the father of scientific boxing or the 'hopping on your toes' style of boxing. The image of the crowd in hats is taken from an aquatint 1790 by James Gilray & the actual image of Mendoza from a print by Charles Jean Robineau 1789. The plaque was unveiled by Sir Henry Cooper in 2008, it is now displayed on the library wall of Queen Mary's College, Mile End London near where Daniel Mendoza was buried in the Nuovo Sephardi cemetry.

Through the crack between the door and its frame, I see the blue-gray light of the TV on the wall. I can’t see Jerome from the bedroom, but I can hear his reed-thin voice. Now and then I can make out words like, “My pa this” or “My pa and me that.” Jerome’s the spitting image of his daddy. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talk so much. Nobody’s in the front room except him and that new puppy.
On the far side of my bedroom is Jerome’s ratty old cardboard suitcase. Its got a bungee cord holding it together. Everything inside is packed nice and neat, socks, underwear, t-shirts, and jeans for school.
6 months ago, when I came home after dark, my headlights pounced on something near the front steps. It was Jerome. He had a bruise on his face and his suitcase. He said, “Can I sleep here?” I asked what happened and he said she threw him out. I believe he got tired of the way things were and left, knowing it wouldn’t matter to her anyhow. Since then he’s been here, sleeping on the couch. He don’t seem to mind, but he keeps his suitcase packed.
When he first got here, Jerome would sit on the couch for hours doing and saying nothing. One night it drove me crazy.
I said, “Jerome, don’t you have nothing to do?”
“No sir, Drew,” he replied.
“Ain’t you got no friends?”
He shook his head no.
“Wanna watch TV?” I offered.
“You sure it’s all right?”
“It’s all right with me if it’s all right with the TV,” I replied, switching it on.
Now Jerome turns on the TV though it took awhile. For a long time, we kept having the same conversation, me offering and him asking if it was all right.
After Jerome had been here a few weeks, I went down to see Star. When she answered the door, she looked a mess. Her hair was all disheveled and she was wearing a green check housedress covered in tomato colored stains. It looked like a ratty old dish rag. A cigarette was hanging from her mouth and she smelled of liquor.
“Your boy’s up at my house,” I said.
“You can have him,” she replied, setting her hand on her hip.
“You shouldn’t hit him.”
“He tell you that?”
“The boy hardly…”
“He’s a liar!” She glared. “I don’t hit that boy. Drew, don’t you come around here accusing people of what you don’t know.” She scratched her side. “You want him?”
“Yeah. I want him.”
“Fine,” she said, smiling kind of weird. “He’s yours.”
I shook my head. “You need help Star. The Reverend…”
The door slammed in my face.
“You need help,” I yelled at that door.
Star wasn’t always like that. When Jerome was a baby, she was crazy about him, cooing and playing.Then, on July second, nine years ago they found Henry with his pickup on top of him, the right side rear tire flat, and the jack lying on the pavement beside him. His chest had been crushed.
That’s when Star snapped like a twig in a fire. It’s also the day Jerome got scalded. Star had water boiling on the stove for the potato salad she was making for the church’s Fourth of July picnic. When she heard about Henry, she forgot all about it. Jerome, being curious about the bubbling sound reached for the pot. He’s got a scar as big as the state of Texas. It’s shiny, smooth, and looks like rubber that’s been stretched to the max. He keeps it covered with t-shirts.
Every day after school Jerome goes to his job at the supermarket. He’s a stock boy and works until 7 pm. Sometimes I stop in to see how he’s doing. They tell me he’s good with the customers and real polite, but quiet. They know he ain’t sixteen but they made an exception given his situation and that he’s living with me.
Most nights after dinner, I’m at the kitchen table working on a ship. The kind that’s in bottles. Jerome usually pulls up a chair and watches me with those big brown eyes. He doesn’t say a thing, even when the ship’s done, masts raised and sails unfurled. When I was finishing up the other night, I looked at him and that’s when the idea about the puppy sprang into my head. At the pound they had lots of cats and tried to talk me into one, but they’re too independent. I wanted a puppy.
Today, when Jerome got home from work he went into the bedroom to get a change of clothes from his suitcase. When he came out the room, I had the puppy sitting on the kitchen table. He walked over, looked at it, and didn’t say a word.
“What you think? I asked him.
“About what?” he said, rubbing his hands across his scar.
“The puppy. You want him or not?”
“You think it’d be all right?
“It’d be all right as long as you teach him to do his business outside and not on my floors.”
Jerome nodded, scooped up the puppy, and went into the living room. He turned on the TV, then sat down on the couch.
Later, I was working on a new ship and Jerome came over carrying the puppy. When I looked up, two pairs of wet brown eyes were staring at me.
“What you gonna call him?” I asked, threading some rigging.
“What’s the name of that one over there?” he asked pointing at the Barque near the fireplace.
“Freedom,” I replied.
“That’s what I’m gonna call him,” he said, stroking the puppy’s head.
Now, though it’s late and TV’s flickering light is playing shadow games on the wall, Jerome’s still out there on the couch talking a blue streak to Freedom. And I suspect that puppy’s sitting there listening.

Lagos- The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), on Sunday gave the All Progressives Congress(APC), 72 hours to retract some alleged malicious statements made by the party against the agency.
The Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Patrick Akpobolokemi gave the ultimatum at a news conference on Sunday in Lagos.
Akpobolokemi said that if the APC failed to tender an apology in 72 hours, the agency would adopt legitimate and lawful means to seek redress.
The director-general said APC alleged that NIMASA contracted the nation’s maritime security to a private firm, claimed to be owned by Mr Government Ekpemupolo, alias `Tompolo’.
“I hereby unequivocally state that this accusation is false. NIMASA neither entered into any such security contract with any private company nor with Tompolo.
“Let me reiterate here that we have instructed our solicitors to give our accusers the opportunity of retracting their unfounded allegations, failing which we shall take all necessary steps to seek redress.
“The agency entered into partnership with a competent Nigerian maritime company; Global West Vessels Specialist Ltd. (GWSVSL) to provide its platforms to patrol the coastline.
“With the involvement of Global West, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement now boasts of various categories of boats, contrary to what obtained in the past.
“The PPP project has also made it possible for the agency to provide suitable platforms to the relevant security agencies collaborating with us to fight piracy and other sundry security breaches in our waters.
“Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) have been signed and are being implemented between the Nigerian Navy, the Nigerian Air Force and the NIMASA.
“Contrary to widespread speculation, Global West did not buy warships for NIMASA,’’ he said.
He explained that the MoU with the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Air Force have enhanced water patrol and aerial surveillance of Nigeria’s maritime domain.
The director-general also described as worrisome recent reports that the agency was sponsoring adverse documentary of the APC in the forthcoming general elections.
He denied the allegations and appealed to politicians to leave the agency alone.
“NIMASA is not a political party. We are a responsible government agency trying our best to fulfill the mandate setting us up as an organisation,’’ Akpobolokemi said.

Inequality: What the Fed Finance Committee should know
This month the federal Finance Committee is set to study income inequality over a three-day period: April 16, 25 and 30th. This is following the successful passage of Liberal MP Scott Brison’s motion M-315 which was introduced in June, 2012. Inequality is an important topic and intertwines with poverty. Thanks to the work of various organizations, including the Equality Trust, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Conference Board of Canada and the Broadbent Institute, and public protests such as the Occupy Movement, the detrimental impacts of inequality are now public knowledge.
While the study was only slated for one day of review originally, the committee clearly heard the voice of the public calling for more time and added two extra days.
In preparation for the review this month, the Committee also had an open call for submissions on income inequality. This public consultation process was welcome, and Canada Without Poverty joined the collection of voices speaking out about the effects inequality has on individuals, families and society as a whole and made a submission as well. Our core recommendations are around:
- National poverty/housing/food security strategies
- The role human rights play in addressing inequality
- Higher wage standards and living wage policies
- Better welfare benefits
- Developing a progressive tax system

US young fashion chain American Apparel will open its first store in the Republic of Ireland by the end of the year.
The chain, which has 13 stores in the UK, is finalising a deal to open a store in Dublin’s Grafton Street.
UK and RoI general manager Brent Chase confirmed the location, adding there were other potential locations in Ireland for the business. He said: “We will see how the store goes in Dublin and then we’ll look at other locations in Ireland like Cork and Shannon as possible locations for further stores.”
Chase added that the business, which sells women’s and men’s casual fashion via its stores and online, was looking for locations for three to five more UK shops this year.
He said: “Last month we were up around 20% like-for-like. Our customer base is growing and our product is very original.”
Mark Smith, director at real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle, which is scouting for locations for American Apparel, said: “The obvious targets are Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leeds, London and Newcastle upon Tyne, and units of at least 2,500sq ft.”
The retailer has expanded its categories from T-shirts, jersey dresses and tops to include pea coats and other winter outerwear in store, after its launch of Oxford shirts last summer.
American Apparel’s UK turnover for 2008 was £18.2 million, up from £7.6m the year before.

To forecast the next fashion trends, Soludos founder Nick Brown looked to past crises.
Before the 2008 crisis, "it was all about ornaments and stuff being very sexy and over-the-top," Brown said on the Glossy Podcast. "Then in 2010, it shifted toward minimalism and modernism."
Brown wagered that fashion will stay on the minimalist side. But either way, shoes are a tough category. "In some of these customer surveys, and certainly in my own life, I'm only buying what I need to, and I'm not going out that much," Brown said.
As a result, Soludos is focusing on fewer products and sustainable production.
Product delivery has also evolved. Soludos' sales have moved online; 70% of its sales now come through its own website, Brown said. "We've all seen the numbers that, in two months, there's been 10 years' worth of e-commerce penetration," he said.

The Sony RX100 VA, VI & VII cameras are the latest additions to the Sony RX100 series and are packed with lots of awesome features for underwater photography. They are the top of line compact cameras to date. Autofocus is lightning quick in both cameras, which is very beneficial for underwater application. Both feature a large 1" sensor with 20 MP resolution, which provides excellent image quality, fast autofocus, useful video modes (like slow motion) and full manual controls. The RX100 VI's key upgrade is its enhanced zoom using a 24-200 mm f/2.8 – 4.5 lens. The RX100 VA's key upgrade is 24fps sequential shooting, enhanced image buffer, and a customizable menu system. The RX100 VII has some minor improvments over the VI.
The Sony a7II is the only full-frame mirrorless camera to offer in-body image stabilization systems and its performance is excellent. The body is comfortable to shoot with and offers a broad set of features that should appeal to both still and video shooters. The Sony a7 II has a 24.3MP resolution, great Full HD video capabilities and fast auto focus.
The SeaLife DC2000 is the best underwater camera from a company you've probably never heard of. It doesn't look that much different from the TG-5—it's about the same size, and the style and controls are similar too. But inside is a sensor that's four times the size, and a lens that's a little brighter. It's not necessarily a crowd-pleaser—the lack of zoom power and generally slow operation make it a niche camera. But serious divers will find it a good option, as it can go as deep as 200 feet using the included case, and is good to sixty feet without it.
The highlight of the RX100 VI over the RX100 VA is its unprecedented macro capability. The zoom on the 24-200 mm f/2.8-4.5 zoom lens cannot be beaten by other compact underwater setups. Details captured with this lens are remarkable. When combined with a wet macro lens (diopter), the realm of super macro photography is attainable. The tiniest details of the smallest subjects can be captured with this set up (once you get a little practice in of course).
Can GoPro hero 7 take pictures?
The latest flagship GoPro model is our favorite action camera available right now. A key difference from its predecessor (and especially the less expensive Hero7 Black) is that there are fold-out feet, giving you the advantage that the camera mount is now built in. Furthermore, you can accessorise the Hero8 Black with a new series of bespoke optional extras called Mods – we particularly like the Display Mod, which adds a second monitor that is perfect for vloggers, but there are plenty of others, including a Media Mod for improving the production value of your videos, and a Light Mod LED light too. These add-ons cost you more – but if you are looking for the very best action camera, and the best GoPro for image quality and features, then the Hero8 Black is it.
